sword sentient beings

Chapter 111
Yunzhou is located in a remote area and occupies a vast area. The further north it goes, the colder the climate and the more sparsely populated it is.After leaving Yuxia County, I went all the way to the northeast, passing through Riyang County to Zhengyang County, and only walked halfway. I have been walking for several days.

Xing Ji took Tang Zhao along the road, riding his horse all the way.Although he rode the Qi Jun of the district inspector, he didn't let go of galloping and walked unhurriedly.Walk at sunrise and rest at sunset.

Along the way, Xing Ji changed into casual clothes and led him to detours, instead of taking the straight official roads, he took winding paths instead, often going to cities and villages, rich and poor, no scruples about coming and going.One day I lived in a luxurious house in a big city, enjoyed delicious food and wine in a big restaurant, the next day I went to a big car shop with a bed of a dozen people on the side of the dirt road, ate big biscuits, and the next day I went to a villager's house to borrow a place to live. People's rations.

After going back and forth, Tang Zhao guessed that he wanted to see the world by himself, so he also paid attention to observation.

According to his observations, Yunzhou has many aristocratic families who are famous for food, rich martial arts tycoons, and many middle-class families who have no worries about food and clothing. However, ordinary people generally live in poverty. They have to eat simple tea and light food, and they can only eat fresh meat and wear new clothes at the end of the year.

In fact, Tang Zhao was used to living as a commoner since he was a child, and he is not a young master who does not eat fireworks in the world.His background is also ordinary, but his family has a few acres of Susukida, and there is a shop in the city that doesn't make money, so he can be considered well-to-do at best.Some neighbors are similar to them, and some are poor and poor.Sui worked overtime and took him to the rivers and lakes to live in no fixed place, and he also stayed overnight in ruined temples and ancestral halls.On the contrary, it was only this month when I saw the Black Spider Villa, the Xue Daxia Mansion, and the Xue Yeyu Owl House that I realized that there is a big gap between people in the world.

On this day, Xing Ji took him to live in a fellow villager's house in a remote village. The two ate multigrain cakes and cabbage soup at night, and the leftover multigrain cakes and cabbage soup in the morning. After leaving the village, Xing Ji said with emotion: " What a time of peace.”

Tang Zhaozheng was secretly picking out the wild vegetables of Saiya from his teeth, and said, "What? Good season?"

Xing Ji said: "It's not a bad day, isn't it? Let's go all the way, no matter what village we go to, we can eat two dry meals. The people don't give us two pairs of chopsticks without embarrassment, and some people cut bacon to entertain us. This Isn't the day not good? It means that the king lives and works in peace and contentment under the rule of the prince."

Tang Zhao hummed, then fell silent.Maybe what Xing Ji said was good, but Tang Zhao always felt that it could be better.

Xing Ji knew that he didn't think so, and said: "I really should take you to the outside of Yunzhou-but it's nothing to compare with the rotten ones. I believe that people's lives will get better every year. I passed by here before, and the fields are barren Half of them. Now they are all planted, and Yuxia County in the south can still grow winter wheat. It can be seen that as long as there are no disasters and no harm, the people will naturally get better. This peaceful year also has some credit for you and me. "

Tang Zhao nodded, thinking of the fields outside the village and the smoke from the kitchens above the village in the evening, his mood gradually improved.

Not to mention good days, peace is real.

Suddenly his heart moved, and he said: "Is this the meaning of our life-threatening battle in the devil's lair?"

Xing Ji smiled and nodded, which is why he took Tang Zhao around so much.

Since Tang Zhao is sent to Zhuoyu Mountain Villa, he will definitely not enter the training camp when he comes out.Most of the courses in the training camp are meaningless to Tang Zhao. He can also practice martial arts in Zhuoyu Mountain Villa. Tang Zhao knew more characters than they did at the age of seven or eight.

There is only one lesson that must never be left behind, and that is knowing why to fight.

This is the course that Gao Yuanhou personally participated in the training camp when he reorganized the District Inspection Department. With this lesson, the root of the District Inspection Department is righteous.

Needless to say, Tang Zhao knows all the truths. There are many truths in the book of "cultivating one's morality, regulating one's family, governing the country and the world." Maybe Tang Zhao knows more than Xing Ji.But only when you see a living person with your own eyes and smell the real fireworks in the world, can those ink characters come down from the book and be engraved in your heart.

Xing Ji sighed: "What we want to protect is not the delicacies of mountains and seas, fat chickens and ducks at the banquet, but the bowl of rough tea and light rice on the table of the common people."

Tang Zhao suddenly asked, "Can the common people also eat fat chickens and ducks?"

Xing Ji was taken aback, and said, "Of course that would be better. But..."

But it's really difficult. It's not that the rich eat a little less, and the common people can eat chicken, duck and fish. The grand event from ancient times to the present is just a good harvest.

He didn't say anything, and said: "There are people who are doing things to make people's lives better, but that's not our duty. A person's ability is limited. What we can do is to use the sword as a barrier to block demons and ghosts. Keep one side safe."

The last sentence was told to him by the judge, and it was also the intention of the swordsmanship to "keep the peace".

Tang Zhao pondered, he was thinking about the last lesson Mr. Chen taught him, known as the treasure.He learned those lessons in a muddle at the time, and he just memorized them. Now that he thinks about it, he only understands a little bit.

At that time, Mr. Chen finished teaching him, and sighed: "It's a pity that the version is wrong. After all, I can't apply what I have learned. There are supermen in this world."

At that time Tang Zhao asked stupidly: "Superman, is he the kind who flies in the sky with lights shining in his eyes?"

Mr. Chen didn't explain much, but just told him, "If you want to hold the Dragon Saber, you must be a superman."

Superman...

Thinking about it now, Tang Zhao already understood a little bit—superhuman, beyond ordinary people.

Are swordsmen enough?Is swordsman enough?
Is sword fairy enough?

The two walked on the dirt road in the wilderness. After walking for half a day, they saw a high fence in front of them, and a village was vaguely inside the fence.In front of the fence stood a big sign with the word "Forbidden" written in raw lacquer.It seems that with the passage of time, the raw lacquer has faded and the handwriting has become blurred.

Xing Ji said: "That is Xingquan Village, which is commonly known as Yin Disaster Township. All the people who live there are victims who escaped from Yin Disaster. They are isolated from the outside world."

Tang Zhao had heard from Brother Sui before that the village of yin and disaster is an absolute taboo among the common people.At that time, he didn't understand, thinking that people polluted by yin qi were dangerous beasts, or contagious patients, and disasters would come if they got close.After entering the magic cave, I realized that most of them were rumors.Those with discolored hair are mostly stimulated by yin qi and awakened some inspiration. The discoloration of hair is just the accumulation of yin qi, which is not harmful and will not infect others. How can it be quarantined?
Xing Ji explained: "People in the world are so ignorant that they reject people who are different from themselves. They look different, so there are rumors made up, and the more they are spread, the more outrageous they are. What's more, the villagers of these troubled villages have left their homes. Occupying their land, they have conflicts of interest and are even more excluded. As for the local government, if they are thankless to foreigners, they will go along with the flow and circle the refugees.”

Tang Zhao said, "Then how do they live?"

Xing Ji said: "They have land and can be self-sufficient. There are also markets that regularly trade with the outside world. But the locals don't like to do business with them. They buy cheap and sell expensive, and bully them in various ways. So even if the market is not closed, it will gradually It has become a black market."

Tang Zhaodao: "Then will they stay in the circle for the rest of their lives? This brand is old, it must have been several years, and they won't have a day to unseal it?"

Xing Ji said softly: "Who will unblock? Why bother? So what if you don't?"

Tang Zhao opened his mouth, and suddenly saw a child looking at him from the fence, subconsciously waved his hand, the child made a sudden sound, turned around and ran, and plunged into the dark village in the distance.

From the outside, the village was dead silent.

Xing Ji told Tang Zhao to leave, and said, "Don't look too much. After a long time, they don't want to see us anymore. If you go in rashly, or even get too close, they will attack you."

The two walked for a while, Tang Zhao said, "It doesn't matter if we can go in or not, but the traffickers will go in."

Xing Ji sighed: "Yes, this is a big cancer in Xingquan Village. Those children who are born with inspiration will change their hair color, which is really easy to recognize. It stands to reason that someone should take care of this matter. But it seems that no one cares, Junhou It is unavoidable under the rule. Ordinary people will report to officials when they encounter kidnappers, but they will not report to officials. As for their attitude towards Ren Yazi, whether it is hatred or...cooperation, we don't know."

Tang Zhao said incredulously: "They are all fellow villagers, and they shared weal and woe. Ren Yazi took away their sons and daughters. It's fine if they don't unite and beat them to death. How can they cooperate?"

Xing Ji didn't explain much, just said: "A place like this kind of extremely closed place often has its own set of rules, and anything can happen." He looked at Tang Zhao with a stern face, and said: "This kind of thing doesn't happen. It is within the responsibility of the district inspection department. But in your own name, if you encounter it and don’t like it, you can take action if you want.”

Tang Zhao nodded, he gradually gained the power to protect himself, and also the ability to "break the law with martial arts".

The two gradually moved away from the high fence, Xing Ji remembered something, and said: "I heard that Junhou is going to try to recruit soldiers in Xingquan Village. Especially children who have inspiration can serve in the army, and the treatment is the same as Ordinary soldiers are no different, and we will slowly give opportunities for promotion. I don’t know if we can break through their closed loop. If possible, I can also go in and recruit new blood.”

Tang Zhaodao: "This is very good. The lives of many surviving children in the Yin Disaster Township were saved by the inspector, and they joined the inspector, grew up and then rescued others. Good will be rewarded with good, and life will continue. This is not Is it a good story?"

Xing Ji groped his chin and said, "It's really good for you to say that! Then I have to say that the outstanding children of Yin Huo Township should join our District Prosecutor first." He looked back at the village and said, "Let's go. As long as you are alive, there is always hope."

Tang Zhao followed and turned his head, only to see several curls of cooking smoke rising from the sky over the whole village at dusk.

That proves that the people inside are still alive.

The two continued on the road, walking, riding a car, riding a horse, taking a boat, and changing trains all the way.In addition to seeing all kinds of people, if you encounter scenic spots, you also have to play, and you are not in a hurry.

In addition to Xing Ji's arrangement, Tang Zhao also went to a place to inquire whether there was a Sui family class, but there was no news, and later he also knew that it was probably not on the way.After all, even though the Sui Family Class went to the rivers and lakes, they didn't change places every day.Every time I go to a town, I have to sell the art for ten and a half months, earning enough money before going on the road.It shouldn't take more than a month to walk a few stops.Since I haven't heard about it several times in a row, there won't be any going forward.

He was saddened, he had traveled hundreds of miles on this long journey, and he didn't know when he would see him again after parting.

Tang Zhao comforted himself, maybe it was due to lack of fate.He only has a little ability to protect himself now, but he is actually penniless, and he is about to travel far away. Even if he sees them again, he can only see them again in a hurry and separate again, and it is difficult to help him financially.When I come to Japan and I have completed my studies and accumulated accumulation, I will see them again. I can help them settle down and buy a property, so that they will no longer suffer from the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes.

I just wonder if Wei Changle has found his younger siblings?
After another journey, Xing Ji seemed to be tired too, so he changed the way of frequently changing routes, bought two new horses, and walked along the official road.Talking on the road no longer talks about the people's livelihood and the world, but instead talks about the situation in the martial arts world, the rules of the world, and anecdotes about masters. Those are topics that can be talked about without drafting, and are most suitable for Xing Ji.

By the way, he taught Tang Zhao some martial arts.This is Tang Zhao's first serious martial arts practice with Xing Ji.

When it comes to teaching, Xing Ji's patience is between Guan Lei and Si Liyu, his personality is different from Ping Jiangqiu's direction, and he is good at winning games. It's a pretty good teacher.

On the way, Xing Ji finally taught Tang Zhao a complete set of "Flowing Fire Chasing Stars Sword", which is a sword technique that the inspector can handle. This time he went back to Tang Zhao to go through the formalities and received a training camp graduate. Even if he has skipped the three-year training period, he has directly entered the internship period, and was awarded the rank of ninth-rank casual member, officially entering the district inspection department.After confirming that he is one of his own people, he has less scruples about teaching martial arts, and he can also teach many sword moves taught by Si Li.

Xing Ji already roughly knew the direction of Tang Zhao's inspiration, and also knew that he had strong comprehension, so he chose a more subtle set of sword moves that matched his inspiration, a total of seven to forty-nine moves, enough to be learned along the way.

In addition to this set of sword moves, Xing Ji gave him another sword move for him to read for himself, which is "Spirit Centipede Sword Art", which is known for its agility and distortion.

Looking at the name, Tang Zhao knew that he was an old acquaintance, and thought to himself: Worm, worm, how many times am I short of getting all five poisons?
On this day, the two entered Zhengyang County.

As soon as he entered the county boundary, Tang Zhao only felt that the temperature had risen suddenly. Although it was November, he was sweating, and the sun at noon was so big and bright that he was restless and not cute at all.

Although Tang Zhao had learned internal skills, he was not yet ready to fear the cold and heat, so he took off his cotton coat and stuffed it into a jar, saying, "This weather is a bit wicked."

Xing Ji had been wearing casual clothes all the time, and only put on a robe when he entered people's homes so as not to look strange. He was still lightly dressed at this time, and he didn't feel cold in the north wind or hot in the scorching sun. He said: "Because there is Yunzhou here." The biggest devil’s cave—Jiumeili Fire Prison, this is an open devil’s prison, we can go in and wander around.”
