Chapter 256
256 chapter
The rising heat, the delicious and hot soup, the noodles as thin as hair, and the floating pieces of green bring all-round enjoyment to the senses of sight, smell and taste.
Xu Ning squatted in front of the noodle stall without any appearance, holding a bowl of noodle soup and eating enthusiastically, making slurping sounds constantly.
Gulu Gulu, he finished his noodle soup, licked his lips, turned his head and said to the stall owner, "One more bowl!"
Sure enough, the rumors in the world are true. The best food in Qinshan City is Longxu Noodles, and the most delicious Longxu Noodles is the Xie Laotou noodle stall outside the six gates of Qinshan. I tried it today, and it really lived up to its reputation. Strength, strength, elasticity, and fineness, all of which are lacking!
"Okay!" Old man Xie replied enthusiastically, quickly adjusted the soup base, and asked casually, "Brother, are you here to wait for the latest list of people in the world? You don't look like it?"
In the late spring and early summer, the bright morning was still a bit cold. Xu Ning breathed a habitual sigh, clasped his hands and smiled and said, "Why don't you look the same?"
He didn't mind at all that the other person was just an old man selling noodles in the alley, and he asked questions in an easy-going and natural manner, unlike the wealthy businessmen who occupied the noodle stalls, who only wanted to brag about their own glory and look down on Old Man Xie.
Doing business six doors away, most of the people who come and go must be people from the Jianghu. It is rare for old man Xie to meet such a gentle and polite young man as Xu Ning. He said with a smile: "Brother, you have a long sword hanging on your waist and a huge package on your back. It seems that There are other weapons hidden. Normally, they must be young knights traveling around the world. But they all respect their status. If there is no place, they would rather wait than squat down to eat. Only ruffians and dock coolies would not mind."
"However, seeing that you are so handsome, little brother, you are probably a son from some family?"
Xu Ning laughed when he heard the words: "You guessed it, I'm a hooligan."
He is handsome and elegant, with a sword hanging from his waist, wearing a green shirt, a gauze hat, and a soft wig. If he hadn't been squatting in front of the noodle stall and eating like a dick, he would definitely be regarded as a son of a family.
After leaving Shaolin Temple, Xu Ning and Qi Xia took a boat to go south, passing through Xizhou and Longzhou, and arrived at Qinshan City, which is the junction of southern Longzhou, northeastern Huanzhou, and southwest China. They planned to follow the river east first. Go to the Zhenwu sect in southern Huazhou and north of Ningzhou, spend a few days eating, drinking and exchanging feelings with Zhang Yuanshan.
Of course, the most important thing is to share his martial arts experience with Zhang Yuanshan. The inner strength method he obtained from the Lord of Six Paths of Samsara is completely different from the Shaolin method he practiced in the past. It is the method of Chunyang Sect, one of the three sects of Taoism. .
Zhenwu Sect, Chunyang Sect, and Xuantian Sect are among the three Taoist sects. Stones from other mountains can also attack jade, which may be of great help to Xu Ning.
This area is the continuation of Huanzhou's landforms. The mountains are steep, the water is fast, the resources are hidden in the deep mountains, and it is very difficult to do business. Therefore, the folk customs are strong, but the martial arts are not strong. Qinshan Mountain, Zhoushan Mountain and Qishui Mountain are called "Three Mountains". Four waters".
When Old Man Xie heard Xu Ning's answer, he smiled and shook his head. Obviously he didn't take it seriously. He picked up the dragon beard noodles, put them into a bowl, and finally added a braised egg to Xu Ning.
"Thank you." Xu Ning was not polite, took the dragon-bearded noodles, squatted in front of the noodle stall again, and started to devour it, looking at the "six doors" door from the corner of his eye.
Because of the prosperity of martial arts, the function of arresting officers in the Jin Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was separated from the yamen early on, and became six doors that stood side by side with the yamen.
And Xu Ning also heard that the new list of people from heaven and earth will be posted in Qinshan City today at the Six Gates Headquarters in Shendu, so he came early to wait to see if there was anyone he knew well. Of course, he said he was familiar with it, but in fact it was just to see. Let's see if Jiang Zhiwei can make the list.
As for the second and third players in the team, he and Zhang Yuanshan may not have the honorable record to be on the list yet.
Because the Jin royal family, aristocratic families, and sects are far apart, they have a strong ability to control the states and counties, and they have a complete network of contacts, including birds and fast horses.
And many exterior masters have special martial arts. After the intersection of the inner world and the outer world, they are good at long-distance communication and image transfer, and there are also strange people and strangers with different paths.
Therefore, Liumen Headquarters claims that "with the news from heaven, earth and people, the county town will be reached within three days, and the county town will be reached within seven days."
Chilly chilly, Xu Ning squatted on the ground, eating while looking at the door opposite, like a lazy man on the street with nothing to do.
"Junior Brother Xu, you finally came out of Shaolin, why are you still eating this bland soup? Senior sister took out the gold and silver and took you to have a good meal." Seeing Xu Ning's slightly funny posture, Qi Xia let out a sigh. He laughed and said this.
After hearing the news, Xu Ning found that Qi Xia had completely changed into the Shaolin lady's clothes. At this moment, her hair was tied up, and she was wearing a light-colored and fit-fitting outfit, which highlighted her unique figure and face. She only wore a light layer of makeup and her mouth was crooked, giving her a girl-next-door aura.
"Senior Sister Qi, when will the rankings for these six doors be released?" After a few sips, Xu Ning finished another bowl of noodles, licked his lips, and asked.
"Look, it's almost time, but Senior Sister Jiang hasn't come down yet, and her performance on the list is not very strong. There may not be anyone in our team this time." Qi Xia looked at the heroes around him and said.
As soon as the words were finished, two of the six doors on the left opened, and a policeman wearing a black hat, red suit, and long knife across his waist came out with a yellow paper.
With a bang, the heroes of the rivers and lakes at the noodle stall boiled over, those who gave money gave money, and those who rushed rushed over, as if they wanted to know the list of people in the world earlier and go back earlier to have more conversations.
"What's the use of running so fast? Who can really be on the list to see it in person?" On the noodle stall, a man looked at a group of people pushing past to see the list. He chuckled and continued to eat noodles calmly.
Xu Ning touched his belly and felt that he had eaten enough. He returned the bowls and chopsticks to the store, threw some broken silver, and walked forward with Qi Xia as the store thanked him.
The two of them walked to the screen wall and looked at it carefully. They found that the Heavenly Ranking had not changed all year round, and there were not many people on the Earthly Ranking that Xu Ning knew or cared about.
After reading the earth list, he turned to the screen wall of the human list. Most of the heroes gathered here. For them, the gods on the heaven list and the masters on the earth list were too far away from him. Take a look. , just get to know it, the focus is still on the list of people, this is the goal that many of them strive for!
"'Invisible Sword' He Jiu, 'Counting the Common People' Wang Siyuan, 'Wolf King' Tie Sheng, 'Da Luo Demon Girl' Gu Xiaosang, 'Sword Qi Changhe' Yan Chong, 'Buddha Heart Palm' Xuan Zhen, 'Happy Toutuo' 'Xing Yi, 'Wuwang Dixian' Cao E, 'Shocking Baili' Jiang Hengchuan..." As someone read out their nicknames and names, a series of exclamations sounded in front of the screen wall.
"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know..." Xu Ning glanced at the thirty-year-old girl and saw that there was only one Gu Xiaosang he knew. He even chopped her with a knife. If they met her in the future, they might even have a fight. Xu Ning didn't know many of the 50 people on the list. Jiang Zhiwei's name was only at the bottom of the list. As for the reason for being on the list, it was the competition in Shaolin. fight.
Although Jiang Zhiwei is still practicing in the Xijiang Pavilion, her name has been spread throughout the world along with the disciples of Xijiang Pavilion who traveled down the mountain, and along with the elders of various sects who watched the rookies compete, and now she is on the list of people.
For some people, this list may be a lifelong goal, but for Jiang Zhiwei, it is just a short-term achievement. If she goes down the mountain in the future, she may be able to go straight to the top ten.
Suddenly a man pointed at the list of people and sighed: "It's a pity that only three of the top ten are from outside big sects and aristocratic families. It's really frustrating, so I admire Yan Shaoxia and Jiang Shaoxia the most."
Yan Chong of "Blade Qi Long River" and Jiang Hengchuan of "Shocking Baili" are from a small sect, and the other is a casual cultivator in the Jianghu. Tie Sheng, he is a young expert in the northern grassland.
"Yes, the two of them are role models for us." Many heroes around the world nodded, and at the end someone said, "It has been seven or eight years since Shaolin ended the Xuanzi generation and started the Zhenzi generation. No one on the list?"
According to the rules of Shaolin, all disciples must first enter the Wu Monk Academy to observe their minds and minds, and then they can become direct successors. Therefore, there is a unified seniority that cannot be surpassed. It can only accept apprentices on behalf of teachers.
Xuanbei was like this at the beginning, the generation without characters had ended long ago, and the generation with Xuan characters was almost at the end, so the abbot took in apprentices on behalf of his disciples and maintained his seniority.
"Seven or eight years is not a long time. The oldest member of the Zhenzi generation is only about 20 years old. Shaolin magical arts are known for their solid foundation, bright prospects and slow progress." Someone said aloud.
"It is said that recently there was a young monk from the Shaolin Temple who left a quiet place and returned to the world. And he seems to have an inexplicable relationship with the daughter of the deputy leader of the Dajiang Gang." Speaking of the Shaolin Temple, someone suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, being a monk is such a good thing, hugging the eldest lady's lap, this is a great opportunity to reach the sky in one step." Regarding the gossip, these martial arts people who are waiting for the six doors to release the results are the most interested.
"Hehe, that little monk's backstage is not small. A friend of mine said that he is the illegitimate son of Master Kongwen, the abbot of Shaolin. Only with this great power in the heaven list can he make a marriage contract with the daughter of the Dajiang Gang." A young man who looked very stinky said while fanning himself.
"Yes, yes, the daughter of the Dajiang Clan went to the Shaolin Temple to bring the monk down. I heard that the two have eloped now. People from the Dajiang Clan and the Shaolin Temple are chasing the two of them all over the world." Again. Someone gave the latest news.
Xu Ning was very excited to hear it at first, such as a master who was born as a casual cultivator, a genius created by chance, but later on, everyone turned out to be taking advantage of him, which made him very helpless.
"Junior Brother Xu, I have told you." After all, Qi Xia is a well-educated young lady who has the emotions of a little daughter, rather than a tomboy-like, informal woman like Jiang Zhiwei, so she listens to the people around her saying that she His face suddenly became rosy, and he grabbed Xu Ning and walked out of the crowd.
"The Shaolin Temple and the Dajiang Gang are very perseverant. I don't know how many resources they spent chasing us. But the two of us have run out of funds after running for so long. If it weren't for Senior Sister Qi's small treasury, then we might have to be beggars. , you have to go to Zhenwu Sect to beg for food." Xu Ning said with some afterthought.
That day outside the Shaolin Temple, when he heard that Qi Xia wanted to go with him, he immediately refused, but the other party simply said that he would elope and escape. He was being chased. If he didn't let her go with him, he would immediately go back to Shaolin. Say everything out against the threat, so Xu Ning had no choice but to take her on the road together.
However, what surprised him was that Qi Xia was not a dragster. She had no temperament along the way, and she acted at her own discretion. She only accompanied him, and even the funds for the trip were provided by Qi Xia.
Of course, Xu Ning came out of the Shaolin Temple and didn't have any financial reserves. Unless he went to the mountains to suppress bandits, or went into the city to steal, he had no good way to quickly earn travel expenses. Now that he had a cash machine by his side, it was good.
In exchange, he would occasionally teach Qi Xia. For example, the sword skill Jianyi, which made Tang Shun retreat on his own initiative, was taught to Qi Xia.
………………
After Qi Xia took the small treasury, Xu Ning and Xu Ning finally exchanged their shotguns for cannons. The whole journey was extremely chic. They directly changed the river boat into a large boat and sailed down the river. In just a few days, they had arrived at Xuanwu City. The Zhenwu Sect The mountain gate is twenty miles north of this city. People in the world call Xuanwu City the gateway to Zhenwu. It is a place of alienation and does not accept orders from the court.
As soon as he got off the boat, Xu Ning felt the prosperity that was different from that of "three mountains and four rivers". People were coming and going on the pier, some were wearing wide robes with big sleeves, some were wearing brocade robes, some were wearing turbans, some were wearing short straw sandals, and some were wearing short straw sandals. Rich and poor, strong and weak, the voices were loud and echoed with various accents.
Xu Ning took a deep breath and filtered out all the smell of sweat, odor, and powder. He smelled the smell of roasted chicken, smelled the smell of Xuanwu City's most famous stinky tofu, smelled the aroma of cooking river fish, and the greedy worms in his belly wriggled, wanting to find out. A restaurant, a feast of delicious food.
But he was not impulsive, and planned to go to Zhang Yuanshan first, because only locals can find real local delicacies.
He was wearing quite luxurious brocade clothes, with a Bi Dai sword slung around his waist, dressed like a blue-shirted swordsman, and tightened the lace of his gauze hat with his right hand to prevent the wig from being squeezed out, which would be a huge loss of face.
Along the spacious stone road, Xu Ning and Qi Xia walked into the city, and they felt that it was more prosperous, lively, and crowded with people.
The two of them greeted each other on the way to Zhang's mansion and walked leisurely, looking around like country people entering a real big city for the first time. They attracted many coveted eyes who wanted to steal his money, but the thieves all returned in vain. And when everyone touched the money bag, they were slapped on the palm, which was red and swollen, just like a teacher in a private school hitting his hands with a ruler when teaching his disciples.
The thieves knew that they had made a mistake. The other party was not so "simple" on the outside, but a cunning boy with extraordinary martial arts.
Because this place is the sphere of influence of the decent sect of the Zhenwu Sect, they dare not retaliate and make big troubles, so they can only walk away angrily.
Xu Ning taught the thief a lesson, and turned into a road with relatively few people. The surrounding area was full of high-rise courtyards. After a short while, he saw Zhang's mansion by the bank of Xuanshui. The aura of the wealthy family.
He knew that Zhang Yuanshan was in the gate of the Zhenwu Sect, and even the core of the Zhang family was in the auxiliary peak of the Zhenwu Mountain. If he was still a direct descendant of Shaolin, he would definitely go to the gate to post a message and wait for the general affairs of the Zhenwu Sect to inform Zhang Yuanshan. But now his identity is sensitive, and Qi Xia and she were currently "fugitives" and it was not allowed for her to go, so they went directly to the door of Zhang's house and prepared to meet Zhang Yuanshan in person.
"As the saying goes, traveling is also training. Since I left Shaolin, I no longer need to worry about the Shaolin monks noticing that my Qi attributes have changed, so I directly practiced the Chunyang Sect's true method. Now my results are good, and my left ear and ear aperture are related. Half of the nine acupoints have been refined. You only need to find a place to swallow the elixir to break through the barrier and refine the left ear aperture. By then, with experience, it is only a matter of time before the right ear aperture is used." Xu Ning's The progress of cultivation is still very fast. After traveling for less than half a month, I am about to break through from the second level of enlightenment to the third level of enlightenment.
