I want to embrace the moon for nine days

In the Cangshui County government office, someone will clear the snow every morning to prevent the snow from accumulating over the past few days, crushing the house, and blocking the road to the house.

Even so, in the afternoon, another half-foot-high layer of snow accumulated in the courtyard.

Gao Wenzhong was wearing a thin robe, standing in the courtyard, his eyes looking directly at the western sky, the high and bright sun, and he exhaled slowly from his mouth.

As he exhaled, his loose robe also swelled, and the sleeves of his hands and the hem of his robe were fluttering, as if a large amount of hot wind was pouring out from inside his body.

The snow in the entire yard was thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye, and snow water was flowing down from the trees.

Thick white mist evaporated and blew out in all directions in the sky.

Soon, the soil, dead trees, and stone brick paths in the courtyard all took on a new look, no longer covered by snowflakes, revealing their original colors.

Take a breath and melt all the snow in the courtyard!

Although there are still some signs of moisture, there is no obvious accumulation of water on the ground.

As early as after the battle with Yin Kang, Gao Wenzhong had some understanding and vaguely felt that he had figured out the idea of ​​​​tempering the ladder.

However, he has used the official seal secret technique many times over the years, which has left a deficit in the basic vitality of the human body. If he wants to try to break through the ladder realm, he not only needs to have ideas, but also needs to replenish the essence.

Last time, he inspected the Huang and Liu families and obtained a lot of rare medicinal materials. He also used the two blood-eyed crows given to him by Fenglei Martial Arts Hall as a guide to brew a medicinal ointment. During the few months of resettling the refugees, he slowly digested it and finally used it. I am full of energy and have free time to retreat.

Finally, he successfully broke through to the ladder realm.

"It has been four days since I stepped onto the ladder, and I have finally adapted to the skills after the breakthrough."

Gao Wenzhong couldn't help but reveal a somewhat pleased smile on his face, thinking in his mind.

Although the Huang and Liu families are gone, Fei Wang Martial Arts School has closed down, and some people within Fenglei Martial Arts School have also been suppressed.

But the strength of the entire Cangshui County is increasing instead of decreasing.

Regarding the refugee issue, Cangshui County is absolutely stable. When the group recruits soldiers to train soldiers in the coming days, the momentum will not be bad.

I just don't know what the current situation is like in the other targeted counties, and whether Su Hanshan can successfully obtain the intervention of Shenwei Mansion.

During this period, Gao Wenzhong would think about this issue from time to time.

However, the border was too far away from Cangshui, and he had no better information channels, so he could only wait.

call! !

The cold wind blew, and snowflakes fell from the sky.

Human skills still cannot resist natural weather for a long time, even if it is limited to a courtyard.

Gao Wenzhong swung his sleeves, looked up at the sky along the falling snowflakes, and his eyes suddenly condensed.

In the northwest sky, there are dozens of black spots, moving slowly through the snow clouds.

From the ground, those black spots appear to be moving slowly, but in reality, their speed should be tens of feet per breath.

With Gao Wenzhong's current eyesight, after watching for a few breaths, he could see that they should be dozens of ferocious birds with iron-like claws.

"Is it another spirit scurrying over?"

This was the first thought that flashed through Gao Wenzhong's mind.

Because around the Chinese New Year, signs of ghosts appearing in Cangshui County became more frequent.

The most densely populated areas in the city are patrolled and guarded by Fenglei Martial Arts School and county police officers.

Su Tieyi, who had broken through to the true form realm, was leading people around every day to capture and kill spirits in villages and towns that were attacked.

Although spirits are valuable, if they are allowed to cause trouble, the losses will be even greater.

Gao Wenzhong knew some secret techniques. After Su Tieyi and Lei Dongtian killed enough types of spirits, they borrowed the blood of the spirits, mixed with cinnabar, and wrote a blood curse that could drive away the spirits.

The remaining spirits should not dare to invade densely populated areas, so they all poured into Qianxia Ridge, Fulong Mountain and other places.

However, the group of ferocious birds in the sky descended lower and lower as they approached Cangshui County, obviously heading towards the busiest downtown area.

"Flying too high, I'm afraid it won't be affected by the blood curse."

Gao Wenzhong flew up with an iron whistle in his hand. He didn't even need to put it in his mouth. Just as he was flying out of the county office, the air flow had already sounded the iron whistle.

When he landed on the street in front of the county government office, police officers nearby who heard whistles responded and rushed over.

"Ready the crossbow and the short spear to throw, but don't move lightly. Listen to my command."

Gao Wenzhong stared at the sky, waiting for the group of ferocious birds to enter a suitable range.

The weather was too cold, and there were no pedestrians on the street. Everyone was hiding in their houses.

It is not easy for those ferocious birds to attack people. If you can give them some pain in the first wave, you may be able to scare them away.

But unexpectedly, those ferocious birds just stopped at a height that was difficult for the crossbow to reach, unable to hover.

There was a voice coming from the bird's back.

"Donor Gao, it's us who are back."

While talking, Zen Master Guangming and others jumped down from the back of the bird.

Gao Wenzhong took a closer look and saw that it was the three people who had gone to the Shenwei Banquet, two well-equipped warriors, and a middle-aged general with bright armor.

When everyone jumped down, they all floated down, their bodies emitting all kinds of brilliance, and when they touched the ground gently, they were all in the realm of the ladder to heaven.

Gao Wenzhong hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed his hands to everyone, feeling quite nervous: "What is this?"

Zen Master Guangming said: "The matter of the county captain has been settled, and there is an unexpected surprise."

Su Hanshan opened his mouth and introduced Qin Lubai and Yang Pianpian to Gao Wenzhong.

After Gao Wenzhong said hello, he saw the general stepping forward and taking out a document.

"Ling Jin, the commander of the Flying Fire Camp of Shenwei Mansion, has been ordered to escort one hundred flying fire meteors and ammunition, and three machine armors here. This is the approval document after notifying the imperial court. Please verify it by the Cangshui County Magistrate."

After Gao Wenzhong took the document, he opened it and took a look, only to realize what the other party had just said.

Fireball? Organ armor? !

"This, this, are these the aid the general gives to the county captain?"

Asking for help from Shenwei Mansion, he probably wanted to use the prestige of Shenwei Mansion, but ended up sending these killing weapons directly. What does it mean?

Su Hanshan smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, county magistrate, there are other people to negotiate the matters in Xueling County. These things are specially given to us."

Ling Jin added from the side: "Su Shaoxia and Lei Nuxia, this time at the border, they performed an extraordinary feat. Lei Nuxia has gained something else, and these things are all rewards given to Su Shaoxia by Shenwei Mansion."

After all, Gao Wenzhong had experienced it. He was shocked for a while and then reluctantly came back to his senses.

Those giant eagles also landed one after another at this time, like huge dark clouds that could overwhelm the streets.

When their wings are folded, they still look about the size of a buffalo.

The boxes tied to the backs of some giant eagles were unloaded by soldiers on the backs of other giant eagles.

Although these flying fire meteors and ammunition belong to Su Hanshan, it is more appropriate to keep them in the county government treasury for the time being.

Those three machine armors can be taken directly back to Songhe Martial Arts School later.

"After verifying the amount, please ask the county magistrate to seal these two documents. One should be kept in the county office, and the other should be brought back to me."

Ling Jin was very straightforward in his work. It seemed that he didn't even think about entering the county government office. He just waited for Gao Wenzhong to stamp his seal before leaving.

Gao Wenzhong said: "You have come all the way, the wind is high and the snow is cold, why don't you rest for a night in Cangshui first?"

"No need, the armor of our Flying Fire Camp is not afraid of wind and cold, and everyone has already adapted to life on the back of an eagle."

Ling Jin refused, but he was not cold-blooded. On the contrary, he was very humane and smiled, "Go back as soon as possible so that you can reunite with your family."

Su Hanshan and others clasped their fists and said, "Thank you all for seeing me all the way."

When they went to Shenwei Mansion, they traveled through mountains and rivers, climbed high and low, and walked under the stars and moon. On the way back, because they directly rode the giant eagle, the time spent was shortened by more than ten times.

Ling Jin clasped his fists in return, and after Gao Wenzhong had stamped his seal, he collected the documents, rode the giant eagle, whistled with all the soldiers, and spread his wings to fly.

"The military discipline in Shenwei Mansion is really strict."

After Gao Wenzhong watched them go away, he turned back and said, "Hanshan, Yuzhu, what have you two done that can be called a miracle?"

Su Hanshan said: "It's just a coincidence."

Lei Yuzhu smiled and said: "Let Zen Master explain it to Uncle Gao in detail. I want to go home and see my father and brother."

Su Hanshan shouted: "Don't forget what you said on the way."

"Don't worry, I'll bring it to my dad when I get back."

Lei Yuzhu's steps were brisk and he had already walked far away.

Zen Master Guangming asked curiously: "What did you say on the way?"

When they came back, several people each rode an eagle. The wind was freezing and howling in their ears. There was no time to chat, but the giant eagle had been flying for a long time and needed to rest.

When Zen Master Guangming was resting, he was practicing spells intensively, but he didn't notice what the other two people discussed. "A small thought."

Su Hanshan asked Gao Wenzhong, "How is the relationship between County Magistrate Gao and the county governments of several surrounding counties? If you were the host and invited their county magistrates to a gathering, would they come?"

Gao Wenzhong didn't understand what he meant and said: "The relationship is not too bad, but it is definitely not close friends. As for inviting guests, the county offices in each county are at least thousands of miles apart, and there are often mountains and forests blocking them. It takes a whole day just to travel.”

"If there is no big deal, I certainly can't invite them."

Su Hanshan smiled and said: "It's almost as we expected. It seems that we can only ask County Magistrate Gao to send people to their counties and directly invite the magistrates and gentry to gather there."

Gao Wenzhong was even more puzzled: "What are you going to do?"

"Invite them to chat, talk about the current situation in Cangshui County, and then talk about the group training and defense envoys in their counties."

Su Hanshan's eyes flashed coldly and he said, "Each county's team training has 500 quotas. If used properly, it will be a force to protect the environment and the people. But if they are not used properly, not only will they themselves be unstable, but they may also It will also affect our Cangshui County."

"Senior Sister Yuzhu and I are not at ease with the selection tendencies of those county magistrates, so we want to find an opportunity to persuade them to change the candidates."

"For example, in Shihao County, I heard that the sworn brother of their county magistrate is to be chosen. I think he should be chosen instead to choose the old gentleman from Shang Liangfang."

Gao Wenzhong was stunned and his mouth moved.

This is because he wants to win over all the team training teams in various counties under his control.

He wanted to say that this idea was a bit too bold, but after thinking about it carefully, Cangshui County seemed to be quite qualified for this boldness.

The timing is also perfect. The governors and lieutenants are fighting fiercely, refugees are pouring in, spirits are everywhere, the situation is turbulent, and the Shenwei Mansion is also sending people to intervene.

"Your idea is indeed very feasible, but simply sending people by me is not enough..."

Gao Wenzhong looked at the direction Lei Yuzhu was leaving and understood completely, "So, in addition to the people I sent, you will also be accompanied by experts."

Su Hanshan nodded: "Senior Sister Yuzhu will ask her father to go out. I will tell my second uncle. In addition, I will also ask Brother Qin and Miss Yang to go out separately."

"If Zen Master Guangming is not in a hurry to return to the county recently, you can also participate."

Zen Master Guangming said with a smile: "The poor monk needs to contact the county captain again to see what he means."

Su Hanshan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "In short, if one person is responsible for a banquet, not only will the manpower be sufficient, but there will also be a lot of surplus."

Gao Wenzhong was very moved, nodded secretly, and said: "Actually, there is also your senior brother. I heard two days ago that Zhou Zifan has also gone into seclusion. If nothing else happens, when he comes out of seclusion, we will have another ladder master."

"Oh? Then I have to go back and take a look."

Su Hanshan turned around and said, "You two, come with me to meet my second uncle."

Qin Lubai and Yang Pianpian agreed and said goodbye to the county magistrate and others.

Su Hanshan inquired about it and learned that Songhe Martial Arts Hall had been renovated, so he went straight to the martial arts hall immediately.

The three of them left the city and walked through the woods. They heard the sound of shouts and shouts from a distance.

The mountain peak where Songhe Martial Arts School is located, and the wasteland on the east side of the foot of the mountain, have been opened up into a large martial arts field.

In the ice and snow, this martial arts field was the only one that was in full swing.

The disciples of Songhe Martial Arts School practice martial arts hard here, with swords, guns, swords and sticks, fingering, fists and kicks, everything.

A little further away in the forest, you can still see many people practicing light kung fu and body movements among the snow-covered treetops, chasing each other around the trees, and competing with each other.

Su Tieyi sat cross-legged on a large rock on the westernmost side of the martial arts arena, seemingly just supervising everyone's martial arts practice.

But the purple energy on his body circulated, and from time to time, it was dense in a certain part of his body, expanding and contracting erratically, just like his heart, liver, and bones, each breathing.

The three of them were still two hundred feet away, but he had already noticed them, and glanced over them with bright eyes.

"Hanshan!"

Many disciples from the Songhe Martial Arts School were alarmed by the voice and noticed the person coming. They all gathered around in surprise.

There are many voices calling me junior brother, but there are also many people calling me senior brother.

In addition to the younger ones Zuo Xiangyun and Luo Ping, there are also people like Li Erhu. Because it is inconvenient to call Su Hanshan boss directly, they are also called senior brothers.

Their voices were so loud that for a moment it seemed like everyone was calling for senior brother, which was really lively.

Su Hanshan greeted them with a smile, took out some small items he bought specially from his embroidery bag, and gave them to everyone as gifts.

After a long while, Su Tieyi smiled and scolded: "Okay, don't think that you can be lazy when Han Shan comes back."

"A while ago, I discovered it when I was out catching monsters. You guys are no longer under pressure. You are not practicing as hard as before. You have to make up for it for me. Go and practice!"

Everyone dispersed laughing and noisily.

Su Hanshan came up and first introduced the two instructors he invited to his second uncle.

Qin Lubai and Yang Pianpian felt that Su Tieyi was a master of the true form realm and respected him very much.

Su Tieyi was also quite pleasantly surprised, and immediately invited the two of them to go up the mountain to drink tea.

Qin Lubai smiled and said: "We drank a lot of hot soup a few hours ago. We are really not thirsty, but we are very curious about the disciples of Songhe Martial Arts School and want to take a closer look."

Su Tieyi applauded repeatedly and asked the two of them to give them advice.

After the two of them walked away, Su Tieyi took a quick look, pulled Su Hanshan aside, and asked quietly how he deceived two trainers at the ladder level.

"The Shenwei Banquet is indeed an easy place to win over people, but if you win them over, how will you negotiate their salary?"

Su Hanshan smiled and said: "Second uncle thinks that four thousand taels of gold is enough to pay them for how long?"

He briefly and concisely told what happened at the Divine Power Banquet.

Su Tieyi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he clicked his tongue.

"So much has happened."

Su Tieyi clicked his tongue and sighed, "I have broken through the true form, understood the secrets of various departments, killed many monsters, made medicine and practiced martial arts, and have made rapid progress. My strength has grown so fast that I have never seen it before in my life."

"But I really didn't expect that you have reached the top of the ladder and can get so many benefits."

Su Hanshan said: "I still have twelve Gangsha crystals here. Second uncle, you can take them so that they can be used when senior brother comes out of seclusion."

After killing those Buzhou Palace disciples, he searched again and obtained a few crystals, bringing the total to these twelve.

Before he broke through to his true form, these Gangsha crystals were no longer suitable for use. Instead, they were used by people like his second uncle and senior brother who had just broken through to a new realm, and the effect was most significant.

Then, he put down the big bag on his back. Fanti Incense, Blue Blood Wine and the Machine Armor were all in this bag.

"Just keep the Gangsha crystal for now. This kind of treasure is often priceless but has no market."

Su Tieyi said, "The green blood wine is enough for me and your senior brother at the moment. After drinking it, if you haven't hit the bottleneck, then consider using the Gangsha crystal."

Su Hanshan nodded and said, "That's fine."

"There is also a book of Taihua Boxing here. Second uncle, you should also read it."

On the way, he had already read the "Taihua Boxing Book". Although there were only three moves in it, each move had a seven-character outline and a large detailed explanation.

Rather than saying it is a three-movement boxing technique, it should be said that it is three extreme uses of internal strength.

The second move corresponds to the characteristics of the "Xuanyin Sutra of Searching Demons and Six Evils", and the third move also requires the use of the Xuanyin Sutra.

The first move requires only pure Yang foundation.

As long as Su Tieyi can practice the first usage to 60% of the heat, it will be enough to achieve a more obvious increase than Zi Lei Gunpowder.

As soon as he opened the page of the boxing manual and read a few lines of words, Su Tieyi's latent martial arts madness came out. He couldn't put it down and stood there to figure it out.

Su Hanshan looked at this scene and thought a lot in his heart.

Although the second uncle is not suitable for practicing the Xuanyin Scripture, his talent in the "Songhe Chunyang Three Magical Techniques" is actually very good. If he can get the complete technique, it will definitely be of great benefit.

I wonder if I can exchange the entire set of skills from Situ Yuntao.

However, I heard that many of the secrets of great powers' exercises include brain-conscious forbidden methods. Those who have learned them can only practice them by themselves unless they obtain the qualifications to teach them. They cannot speak, write, perform, etc. Teach others in various ways.

It's not enough to be able to exchange for a full set of techniques, you also have to get permission to pass them on to others.

When Su Hanshan went to see Zen Master Guangming the next day, he was still thinking about this matter.

However, Zen Master Guangming spoke before him.

"The poor monk contacted the county captain last night. He asked me to stay here to help you. He has already reported the skills he promised to the mountain gate. When the jade slips are made, he will send them over."

Zen Master Guangming said, "In addition, he also asked the poor monk to tell you that you should try your best to cultivate the Ladder to Heaven and the True Form Realm, and you will have great opportunities in the future."

"If you have any questions during your practice, you can ask the poor monk for help and contact him, and he will try his best to answer your questions."
