Chapter 176 The Sun of the Moonlit Night One
"Dadada..."
Kong Wenxuan's fingers tapped gently on the desk, bringing out a monotonous and rigid sound, forming an inexplicable pressure, making the heartbeat of the listener seem to be infected, and he beats unconsciously to this rhythm, feeling like he is being controlled by life.
This is an act that Wu Mian asked Kong Wenxuan to be accustomed to when he left Kong Wenxuan's dream.
When he was in Langzhou, Wu Mian often tapped his fingers on the table and other things in front of others to express his nervousness, thinking, or depression, etc., but he actually did not have this habit. This was a habit created by him, Kong Wenxuan!
After Kong Wenxuan went to Langzhou to exchange his identity with him, he would appear in Langzhou as his own. If he had the habit of pretending to be a magistrate at that time, wouldn't it be suspicious?
For this reason, he set some habits for himself that he didn't have when he pretended, the most obvious of which was to tap the items with his fingers.
This very eye-catching habit was deliberately managed by him, even if the officials in Langzhou had never seen it. At that time, even if Kong Wenxuan changed his identity and showed different thinking patterns and habits involved in various political affairs in Langzhou. As long as this habit is still there and Wu Mian did not show this habit, others would generally not be involved in pretending. At most they would think that Kong Wenxuan was finally going to show his skills.
"That kid is quite smart." With a chuckle, Kong Wenxuan looked at himself and started drawing a chart after waking up. His brows frowned slightly: "This time, his response in Langzhou is so sophisticated and mature that I dare not say that he can do better with his current identity and situation. And this chart..., the representation of the prophecy, he used this method to speak without any obstacles. I think the chart specifically refers to him is a fact that he has established in his mind, but I have never heard of the chart referring to this method... Such detailed and refined methods cannot be obtained by generations of research. Who taught him?"
...
After pondering for a while, Kong Wenxuan suddenly shook his head and chuckled and said, "Forget it, Changsheng didn't say anything, why am I worried about this? Moreover, I became a master and made a vow before the return monument. Life is my Haotian Gate, and death is my Haotian Gate ghost. Even if I have the same spirit, I can't do anything."
……………………
Langzhou Prefecture.
After Song Yingyue returned to rest, Wu Mian sat by the window and played with the bronze mirror in the moonlight, staring at the bright moon in the sky with a blurred look, as if thinking, but her head was empty and she had no thoughts.
In fact, he also knew that he was not yet able to rest or relax. Although Kong Wenxuan and Zhou Changsheng were able to get 3,000 stones of grain, with the transportation conditions of this era, even if Huzhou next door was transported to Langzhou, it would almost cost hundreds of stones!
These losses, as well as the resettlement issues after the grain transport team comes, also need to be considered.
Moreover, because of Shako, he also needed to determine the situation around the food road and send someone to investigate and guard, so as not to be intercepted by Shako.
But for a moment, he really couldn't raise any thoughts to think about things, just wanted to sit there stupidly with nothing in his head.
"Wu Mian, Wu Mian, you can't just fall into depravity. Like someone, you're all playing cards in your diary."
In the end, Wu Mian forced himself to suppress his laziness and reorganized his thoughts.
"The Locust King will be created tomorrow, but Old Zhuge is going to Dapo County... It seems that I have to let my senior sister stay with me tomorrow, otherwise it will be difficult to protect Long Hao from any secret tricks on me. After all, his master was wiped out by his master..."
"Is the young sister reliable? And the little Qianxing from the Nangong family...",
"Tsk!"
He smacked his lips slightly irritated, and Wu Mian sighed: "Forget it, let's do it. And even if he can do it, he won't dare to make it too obvious. Then when the old man Zhuge comes back or his senior brother comes over to ask them to check it out to see if there is any problem. And I'm just coming to Langzhou for a formality, and when the senior brother comes over, I will go back to Changshang. At that time, the master can check it out, and I won't be afraid of getting into trouble."
After comforting himself with a distracted mood when he thought about things, Wu Mian turned his attention to himself.
It is better to rely on oneself than rely on others. Although he knows very well that his foundation is shallow and completely unreliable, he doesn't want to become a person who only knows how to connect with others everywhere and find helpers.
However, after coming to Langzhou, he was busy and had no time to practice. In addition, he almost became a Taoist two days ago, so he needed to conduct a new assessment of his own situation.
Only by being clear about his own situation can he formulate a way that suits his own response to various situations.
Close your eyes and concentrate evenly, Wu Mian began to sense his own condition with ease.
And this perception unconsciously made a bitter smile appear on the corner of his mouth.
He found that his internal energy cultivation had actually retreated a little!
"Mr. Li said that he let go of his cultivation after becoming an official. Haha, it's really true. I've only been a few days before my internal strength can clearly sense signs of regression. Although this may also be related to my almost becoming enlightened, it is an indisputable fact that too much trouble delays the cultivation and causes the cultivation to regress.
"And this is just internal force. If there are too many errands, it will inevitably affect the state of mind. The perception of the mind will be wiped out by various things..."
"Maybe you should hide in the deep mountains and forests, be free and easy, and not involve human fireworks..."
...
"Pooh!"
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at the desk cleaning up, but there was still some messy documents. Wu Mian twitched the corners of his mouth again.
"Many of the Haotian Sect disciples are in high positions and have a high level of cultivation. Since that's the case, there must be ways to avoid miscellaneous things that affect your cultivation. But I haven't touched it yet. Third Senior Brother is an example."
"Hmph! I, a time traveler, will I be weaker than the natives? I can do what they can do!"
After cheering himself up, Wu Mian suddenly remembered the Dadao Sect again.
The Big Sword Sect has been wiped out, and most of the secret resources of the sect have been confiscated, leaving only one or two fish that have escaped the net, which didn't make him care much. He remembered the Big Sword Sect at this moment, because it was based on a cultivation problem.
The Dadao Sect is a sect in the martial arts world, and it turns out that it has a good relationship with the imperial court. It will help the imperial court fight against the Shagang together, and has a good reputation and status in the Langzhou world.
However, if you want to gain a foothold in the world, you don’t have a reputation and status, but you also need to have enough strength.
What is strength?
Have strong internal strength and can display powerful martial arts!
So how can you slowly develop strong internal strength?
One is grinding by time, and the other is eating!
Not to mention those magical medicines, general internal energy refining needs to be obtained from food. Now that Langzhou is in trouble, it is difficult to eat. How can there be extra food to refine internal energy for warriors?
For the little food given to the victims outside the city, the warriors cannot even maintain their cultivation, which will only make themselves weaker. In Wu Mian's view, this is also the main reason for the Dadaomen robbing grain.
As a sect in the martial arts world, the Dadao Sect must have enough strength to defend its territory and have its own status in Langzhou. However, once the cultivation of the disciples and disciples has fallen, will there still be the status and reputation of the Dadao Sect in Langzhou?
Wu Mian also saw that the Langzhou court distributed the amount of food to the various sects in the Jianghu in Neilangzhou, which was far more than that of ordinary people, but the food was not enough for those who practiced.
If you practice, you will retreat if you don’t advance.
After he came to Langzhou for only a few days, he felt his internal strength decline. The disciples of the Dadao Sect had lived in this disaster-stricken land for a long time. I think the internal strength decline caused by food shortage had already happened. In this case, it is not surprising that the Dadao Sect would have the intention to rob grain.
After all, without internal strength, most martial arts are just a fancy way and cannot defend the glory of their Big Sword Sect.
It was just that Wu Mian guessed the reason for their actions, if he asked him to choose again, he would still order the Big Sword Sect to be wiped out without hesitation at all.
When robbing grain, this kind of thing must not start, otherwise there will be a lot of sects following the trend, and the people will follow suit, and Langzhou will definitely be in chaos.
Chaos is the soil for all sins to breed!
"However, this kind of power suppression can only be maintained for a while, and in the end, it still needs to resolve the disaster in Langzhou. Otherwise, it will only break out even more severe in the future..."
Turning his head to look out the window and looking at the direction where Dapo County is, Wu Mian rubbed the bronze mirror a few times in a irritable state.
"Old man Zhuge should have arrived in Dapo County now, right?"
……………………
Even if a house built with hard stone is eroded by wind and sand in the desert for a few years, it will become riddled with holes and it is difficult to see what it was like back then.
This is true for Dapo County.
When Emperor Taizu of Song defeated the previous dynasty, this place was the final battlefield and was once a few years old. However, as the climate in Langzhou became worse and worse, today, Dapo County has been no longer in its glory and has been uninhabited decades ago.
After riding the Great Pearl to the boundary of Dapo County, Zhuge Qing stood on the back of the Great Pearl with her hands behind her, staring at the Dapo County ruins that were crossed by the moonlight below, with a serious and puzzled expression.
Behind him, Lao Tianyue put away a homophone snail and said in a deep voice: "No matter whether we hold Jinwu's secret method or homophone snail, we cannot contact them. However, there are the secret codes they left outside, which can be sure that they are indeed here."
Zhuge Qing nodded slightly, continued to stare at Dapo County below for a moment, and said lightly: "You drive the big roll to wait for me outside, I'll go down and take a look."
"Can't I go down?" Lao Tianyue frowned and said, "What happened below?"
"If I read it right, the universe below will be reversed and the sun and the moon will be reversed. If there is no secret method to protect you, you will die if you go down."
Zhuge Qing's tone was still plain, but the content was shocking.
Lao Tianyue's eyes widened a little in an instant: "The universe is upside down, the sun and the moon are reversed? There are not many people in the world who can do such a method, are you sure?"
"I can't even recognize my own way of storing my back."
After Zhuge Qing said that, he jumped out of the bird's back and fell towards Dapo County.
While falling, he pinched out the secret technique of reversing the universe when he joined forces with Wu Mian to deal with the big penis that had erotic sacrifices. When he reached a certain height, he suddenly turned the technique.
For a moment, his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes showed an irrepressible look of pain, but in a flash, his face returned to rosy, and the pain in his eyes disappeared, as if there was no change.
But he is the only one who has not changed.
