in the edge

Chapter 411 Stars of Power
As the two fighting men were thrown into the river, the bridge was naturally open again.

It wasn't until they fished the two masters out of the river that Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian realized what kind of damage they had just done unconsciously - one was a top swordsman, and the other was a famous master. , I was just slapped on the head by the two of them, and I still haven’t recovered until now.

"Well...you have to change your clothes, right?"

With this idea in mind, Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian carried the two soaked masters back to the inn.

When the two masters woke up, what appeared in front of them was a little giant as tall as two stories high.

There are also two huge millstones.

It is an unwritten rule that those who disturb the business of the inn need to be reformed through labor. On the one hand, it is to calm the anger of the people, and on the other hand, it is also to let the perpetrators know their mistakes. When he knows that he is actually going to work hard, Yingjun Young Master Su Youfang and everyone were dumbfounded.

You must know that his handsome and unrestrained image costs a lot of money to maintain. From his posture to his clothes, from his hairstyle to his makeup, and even his smile, he spent countless efforts to sum it up. If he was allowed to put on a halter and grind like this...let alone being seen, even if he wasn't seen, he wouldn't be able to bear it!
"wrong."

At this time, the swordsman known as the Big Dipper Sword suddenly squatted down.

"No, no... look here."

To Su Youfang's expectation, the swordsman actually acted like he knew the truth.

This also surprised Su Youfang. He didn't expect that this old friend who had been ridiculed countless times in his daily life would even understand this.

"You also know that I am good at using the Big Dipper Sword. I even earned the title of Big Dipper just by relying on my swordsmanship... Then do you know what the Big Dipper is?"

Because they have been working for many years, coolies often have a better understanding of exerting force. Compared with ordinary people who have not practiced, their fights are more fierce and more deadly. However, due to living conditions, Coolies are usually not too strong, but the two coolies who rushed to the bridge are different. Just looking at their strong bodies, they may already be the elite among coolies.

The swordsman had no intention of paying any attention to Su Youfang. At this moment, the swordsman was completely immersed in the footprints in front of him.

The pace wasn't even complex, it was just like turning in circles, but such a simple thing managed to squeeze out all the evil spirit and sword energy. In the face of this strange pace, their attacks seemed meaningless.

Su Youfang stood up in shock.

"So...how is this done?"

"Do you really understand?"

"Aren't we just beaten by those two masters... huh?"

"Kong entered the treasure mountain and didn't know it...haven't you ever thought about how we lost?"

"This technique... is simply unheard of!"

"What are you looking at? I'm about to die!"

"If you have a brain disease, you should seek treatment. What you are saying is not something a human being can say..."

Looking at the location pointed by the swordsman, Su Youfang was also stunned.

"Why are you running! Are you stupid?"

However, the elite among the coolies can only be regarded as coolies. Perhaps these elite coolies feel that they are powerful and strong enough. Even if they have some abilities, but against the real masters of evil spirits... it is like an ant meeting an elephant.

Su Youfang no longer had the same reserve as before. Putting a halter on someone like him who relied on his reputation was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

The swordsman raised his head and pressed Su Youfang down.

Su Youfang's expression was subtle.

"……you ask me?"

Although he was still a little dizzy, he still remembered what encounters he and his friend had experienced during the day - when the two strangers rushed onto the bridge, they only looked at their appearance and dress. , he once thought they were two trained coolies.

Seeing that Su Youfang didn't answer for a long time, Beidou gave the answer himself.

Looking at the footprints on the ground, Su Youfang became more and more puzzled.

"It's actually not difficult to understand."

"This is... the footwork to twist off our attacks!"

"The Big Dipper is the stars."

"Whether I understand it or not, it doesn't stop me from getting knocked down, because it's a completely different thing."

This also made Su Youfang's face become more subtle, and his gaze towards Beidou became a little more pitiful.

What are stars? Su Youfang has never thought about this problem. Stars are stars. He only needs to know this. He will know at most one Altair and one Vega. This is not because he has any research on astrology, but mainly because this folklore is more convenient. He chatted with the girls.

As an elephant, Su Youfang didn't even look at these two coolies. After all, the aftermath of the fight between him and his friends was enough to cost these two coolies half their lives, or even kill them on the spot.

But these two coolies took strange steps and managed to wring out all their attacks.

"You know so much, why did you still get knocked down?"

Su Youfang choked directly on the spot.

Before Su Youfang could finish speaking, Beidou spoke again.

What appeared in front of him were several footprints.

"Do you know what a star is?"

Just a few footprints were not enough to arouse Su Youfang's interest, but a few footprints on the masonry were enough to make Su Youfang frown - Su Youfang was a master, and his eyesight was certainly not lacking, although There were only a few footprints on the ground, but Su Youfang could already see the specific method of exerting force from the depth of the footprints.

Thinking of this, Su Youfang couldn't help but speak.

A man named Beidou asked him what exactly the seven stars of the Big Dipper were?
It can only be said that it is not unreasonable for him to ridicule this old friend all day long. This man known as Beidou does have something wrong with his brain.

"If you ask me, we should run away quickly. I just saw the two masters following the little giant to the front. There is no one in the backyard right now..."

Apart from that, he didn't know anything else. After all, the astrological knowledge was of little use to him.

"That's why you can't take this different path like me... After all, you still don't understand the nature of power."

Having said this, Beidou sighed.

Unlike most Jianghu people, Beidou did not originally study martial arts. His ancestors were born in the Qin Tianjian of the former dynasty. After the Great Yu was destroyed, his ancestors lived among the people and lived in anonymity - but they lived in seclusion. Those who are important to The understanding of astrology and the study of astrology are passed down from generation to generation.

After all, the sea of ​​stars is so mysterious and mysterious that no one can refuse this ever-changing knowledge.

Even if this knowledge is useless.

The study of astrology can only be enjoyed by oneself. In the eyes of the public, this kind of thing has no practical value - of course, sometimes everyone also believes in astrology, such as fortune telling, but the Beidou family studies astrology. It's not about fortune-telling per se. The understanding of the stars is indeed mysterious, but most people have no interest in it.

"Does this stuff really work?"

Beidou also had doubts about this, and even wanted to give up this ancient mystery altogether, but he could only use it to entertain himself.

However, an accident made Beidou realize the secret. That was when Beidou was twelve years old. Since his father no longer studied stars and astronomy, his family, which had been poor for who knows how long, finally saved some money - but unfortunately, his father, who had been obsessed with studying for a long time, Although he finally understood the secrets of doing business, he did not understand the most important thing of "keeping wealth secret". So that night, just when Beidou felt that he could finally have a good meal at home, the robber who broke in just killed him with one knife. his father.

Out of the desire to get rid of the roots, the bandits turned their attention to Beidou after killing his parents.

Beidou, on the other hand, had already run back to his father's study and took out the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword, which could only be used to ward off evil spirits.

With a cheap sword and a young child with no fighting experience, this is a certain death situation. At least in the eyes of the robber, he only needs to swing the sword casually and the child will be chopped into two pieces on the spot.

However, what greeted the robber was a spiraling sword.

That sword imitated the rotation of the star.

The cheap sword that had almost no lethality at first turned out to be rock solid at that moment.

It wasn't until he saw those bandits turned into corpses that the young Beidou vaguely realized that there might really be something remarkable in the astronomical knowledge passed down from his family.

So, in the following days, he gradually used that knowledge on himself. Although everything he wielded seemed ordinary, there was always something in these seemingly ordinary sword moves. The power of spiraling like the rotation of a star - but precisely because of this, he was unable to communicate normally with other masters.

Normal communication between masters does not necessarily require actual action. If there is no hostility, everyone can find a place to sit down and compare each other and exchange ideas - but this is completely impossible for Beidou, let alone other things. Just talking about the concept of star rotation is like listening to heavenly scriptures. Everyone can't talk about it to a single point, so how can we have a reasonable conversation?

If you can't talk, you can only take action. Anyway, the winner must be right.

Facts have proved that Beidou is indeed right, even until now.

Although he only has a cheap decorative sword in his hand, Beidou has never faced an opponent in the fight until now. His astronomical theories can not only guide his own practice, but also gradually begin to explain to other masters - perhaps every master is a spiraling star, and they will instinctively attract external forces to strengthen themselves.

However, only he could see this boundless starry sky.

Invincibility brought him great fame, but it also made him feel more and more lonely - he also thought that maybe he was really like a lone star in the sky, and no one in this life could truly understand his thoughts. .

But now it seems...

"I am not alone in my ways!"

Beidou stared at the footprints on the ground. At this moment, he had no intention of paying attention to Su Youfang, just because from these footprints that were almost spinning in circles, he could faintly see the trajectory of the stars!

"The steps of this spiral...are clearly imitating the rotation of stars!"

"What rotation? What on earth are you talking about?"

Seeing that Beidou was completely immersed in it, Su Youfang immediately became anxious.

No matter how dull he was, he could already see that the footprints on the ground might actually have something to them—although it was probably something he couldn't understand, but it was definitely something good.

Good things are right in front of him, but he can't understand them. This is simply...

"If you can't understand, don't understand."

Taking a deep breath, Beidou stood up.

Then he looked at his friends beside him.

Although this friend has a bad mouth, it is just words. In fact, whether it is occasional sparring on weekdays or when something happens, this friend has never let them down. friendship.

After all, he really doesn't have many friends, so having one like him is pretty good.

So if there is any good thing, he will naturally share it with this friend.

"If you don't understand, just follow me. This is a rare good thing. I guarantee you won't suffer any loss."

Saying this, Beidou walked to a millstone and put the bridle on his head.

Immediately afterwards, Su Youcong saw Beidou waving to him.

"……what?"

Everyone in Su Youfang was dumbfounded. He once thought that something was really wrong with his old friend's mind.

"Are you...serious?"

"That's the key."

Beidou gave a firm answer.

He has already seen that this is not so much a millstone as a practice prop. I am afraid that this is how the two masters practice on weekdays. They regard the millstone itself as a star, and then use the grinding method to follow the star. Rotate together and realize the power of spiraling like the stars in the sky!

"Of course, as for the specific principle, you probably won't understand it even if I explain it, but... we are friends, and I have done it myself. I will definitely not trick you."

"This……"

Su Youfang hesitated.

As someone who relies on his reputation, he is unwilling to put on a halter no matter what, but Beidou has said it for this reason, and it is difficult for him not to believe his friend's judgment.

He could feel that sincere sharing.

Although he picked countless flowers on weekdays and never lacked for a love life, the person he truly trusted the most was this old friend of many years.

But now, the old friends have put on the reins.

"Then I'll come too!"

Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet, Su Youfang simply picked up the halter.

Forget it, it's a big deal and he doesn't have any shame. Today, he is willing to risk his life to accompany the gentleman, risking his life!
"Isn't it just grinding? Look, I'll give it to you... eh?"

Just when Su Youfang closed his eyes and was about to put the halter on, the halter that was supposed to be put on was suddenly taken away.

But when Su Youfang opened his eyes, what appeared in front of him were two vicious faces.

"Who asked you to grind? Are you worthy?"

Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian, who returned to the backyard, knocked Su Youfang and Beidou to the ground with one punch each.

Immediately afterwards, he put on the bridle and started grinding diligently.

"We should probably thank that little giant."

At this moment, Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian had almost the same idea.

Just like the tracks under their feet.

"Ramo, you can really become stronger!"
