Start a Core Pod

Chapter 1529 Isn’t this right? (It’s so cold outside and so hot inside that it gives me a headache)

When Duanmuhuai arrived in Yangzhou, it was already dark.

The speed of the yacht illuminated by the light belt is neither fast nor slow, and it looks leisurely and comfortable. Duanmu Huai stood on the deck, looking at Yangzhou City not far away, and couldn't help but stretch.

But Wang Yuyan and Xiao Longnu stood on either side of him, looking a little sad at the beautiful scenery in front of them.

It was normal for them to have such a reaction. After all, the three of them were going down the river, and they could see scenes of chaos and chaos everywhere. Whether it is the so-called rebel army or the regular army, they burn, kill and loot wherever they go. It's just a matter of robbing things, but they also force young men into the army, and they won't hesitate to rob young women when they see them.

The two women watching this scene of war and chaos had their brows furrowed and they were in a bad mood.

Wang Yuyan also sighed and said silently.

"I heard about the Nanzhou Rebellion, but I didn't expect it to be so terrible. Those officers and soldiers are just that. Why are even the rebels so violent towards the people? Along the way, we have seen countless cases of robbing women and killing young children and the elderly. , it’s really chilling.”

"That's what war is like."

Duanmu Huai curled his lips.

"No matter what they call the rebels under the banner, in fact they are just a group of bandits and bandits. It's just that compared to the bandits and bandits who block roads and rob people on weekdays, their intentions are bigger. For them, the world is nothing. is their goal, and for this purpose, Whatever you do is forgivable. Forcing young people to join the army can increase your own troops, snatching food can also increase your own supplies, and playing with women can improve morale, despite the loud slogans of the rebels. At the end of the day they are no different than bandits."

After all, at all times and in all countries, there are only a handful of armies that truly have ideals and beliefs and can put them into practice. They can be counted on one hand. To put it bluntly, other armies are just gangsters. The difference is just the difference between certified gangsters and undocumented gangsters.

It's as if the only difference between the British Royal Navy and pirates is a privateering license.

Basically, licensed pet dogs are the same as unlicensed wild dogs.

Having said this, Duanmu Huai glanced at the two women.

"Don't be too nosy. Saving people can help them live a moment longer, but what happens after that is still their own business and has nothing to do with us."

After all, along the way, Wang Yuyan and Xiao Longnu also took action many times to save the oppressed villagers. With the strength of the two of them, it is certainly not a problem to deal with these half-hearted officers and soldiers and rebels. But the problem is that they always think too much, but in fact there is not much they can do.

Wang Yuyan also asked Duanmuhuai to let the villagers board the boat, but Duanmuhuai refused directly. As a judge, he knows best how dangerous this kind of desperate person can be. The people of the empire who were killed by cultists were unfortunate, but this did not mean that they were innocent, and humans would do anything to survive. When we meet by chance, and when we see rough roads, it's enough to draw a sword to help. Why don't we care about them for the rest of our lives?

"It is said that Yang Guang was fatuous and cruel, forcing the people to resist, but these rebels are no better than Yang Guang. Even if they take over the world, what difference will the people have now?"

As she spoke, Xiao Longnu shook her head.

"As the saying goes, when things go well, people suffer, and when things die, people suffer. It's all the same. As far as this era is concerned, there is no way to escape the laws of history. This is the inevitable outcome."

"... By the way, you've been fishing for most of the night, why haven't you caught a single fish?"

"How to talk."

Hearing Xiao Longnu's question, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"Fishing is a kind of precipitation. Do you understand precipitation? Cultivate your moral character! Have you never heard the story of Jiang Taigong fishing? Those who wish to take the bait! Let me tell you, fishing is just like being a human being. You have to be patient to gain something... Oh, don’t you see this coming?”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai felt the fishing rod in his hand sink. It was obvious that he had caught a huge thing, and he felt happy at the moment. He tightened his grip on the fishing rod and lifted it up hard. Then the water surface broke open and a large black object was pulled out of the water. It swayed for a while and then landed on the deck with a "bang".

When they saw the big thing clearly, the three of them were also stunned - they saw that the thing wrapped around the fishhook was not a big fish at all, but a dead body!

"Damn! What kind of luck! Why can't I catch the fish? I caught this crap!"

Duanmuhuai immediately cursed, while Wang Yuyan sighed.

"It's really pitiful. I don't know how many people died in the river because of the war..."

Only Xiao Longnu walked over, lowered her head and took a closer look at the corpse, then shook her head.

"No, he was killed using martial arts."

While saying this, Xiao Longnu stretched out her hand to turn the man over. When she saw his face clearly, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but exclaimed "Ah". The dead man's face was covered with frost. He was obviously fished out of the river, but he looked like he was dug out of an icehouse.

"This is... Yuwen Clan's Bingxuanjin!"

Wang Yuyan just took one look and immediately recognized the way the other party died. She immediately frowned, walked around the other person, and then spoke.

"It seems that this should be the top pusher Shi Long in Yangzhou."

"How did you recognize it?"

Hearing Wang Yuyan's answer, Duanmuhuai looked at her curiously and asked, and Wang Yuyan also stretched out her hand, pointed at the other person and explained.

"Look at the calluses on this man's hands, which are as thick as the knuckles. His hands are tightly grasped inside, which is the internal force exerted outwardly. There are not many people in the world who can do this with pure flesh palms, and this is Yangzhou , so I judge that he is from the Tuishanzhang faction. "Then how do you know he is Shilong?"

"You can see it from this Bingxuanjin."

Wang Yuyan pointed to the frozen face of the deceased again.

"Although I don't know how long this man has been dead, he must have been floating in the river for a long time. However, even so, the frost on his face has not melted, which shows that the ice energy still remains in his body. Only the only one who can do this is The top masters of the Yuwen clan would never be able to escape from their hands. The only way to escape from Yuwen clan's hands at the last moment is through the masters who have mastered the Bingxuan strength. The stone dragon is in the palm of the mountain."

At this point, Wang Yuyan paused.

"Although I don't know what the situation is, from the current point of view, Shilong should have had a conflict with the Yuwen Clan people, and was injured by the latter. He escaped with his last breath, but in the end he still failed to escape."

"Good guy, you can become a detective now."

After listening to Wang Yuyan's reasoning, Duanmu Huai also complained. I used to say that there is a rule in Western reasoning, which is that Chinese Kung Fu must not be added, otherwise the reasoning will be impossible. But looking at Wang Yuyan talking eloquently now, with ease and ease, she really looks a bit like Sherlock Holmes.

It can be seen from this that in the final analysis, Westerners do not understand martial arts. Who said that knowing martial arts cannot engage in reasoning?

"Um?"

At this moment, Little Dragon Girl seemed to have discovered something. She pulled out her long sword and picked it up against Shi Long's corpse. Then she saw something like a scripture picked out from it and landed on the edge of the sword. superior.

The long sword used by Xiao Longnu was naturally not extraordinary. However, although the book had been soaked in water for a long time, it was not stained by any water. Now that it was picked up by the long sword, it looked brand new, which was quite strange.

"It's strange. This scripture doesn't look like an ordinary thing."

At this time, Wang Yuyan also came over and looked at the scripture carefully, then her expression changed slightly.

"Could it be the Secret of Immortality, one of the four great wonders of the Southern Wulin? I heard that this book comes from Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. It is written in oracle bone inscriptions. It is profound and difficult to understand. It is also woven with black gold thread and is invulnerable to water and fire... It's really impossible. To think that it would actually be in Shilong’s hands?”

While saying this, Wang Yuyan reached out and took the scripture, opened it and looked at it, then... her face turned red and she closed the scripture.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Wang Yuyan's appearance, Duanmuhuai asked, while Wang Yuyan lowered her head.

"I'm afraid I'm wrong. This shouldn't be the secret to longevity..."

"Oh? If this isn't the Secret of Immortality, what is it?"

Duanmu Huai was also curious at this moment, so he took the scripture from Wang Yuyan and opened it. He naturally knows the name of the Secret of Immortality. After all, it can be regarded as top-notch mental skills and martial arts. He remembers that when he read novels, the two little beggars became top-notch masters because they practiced the two pictures in the Secret of Immortality. Here comes the master.

Is there any problem with this?

Duanmu Huai opened the scripture, glanced at it, and... well, he understood why Wang Yuyan had that expression.

There are indeed seven pictures in it, and they do look like cultivation patterns like the Secret of Immortality. It's just that these patterns are different from the ones Duanmuhuai imagined like doing radio gymnastics. These seven pictures include men and women. In one picture, only one person is standing upright, and then the other person's legs are locked around the waist...

"Isn't this some kind of forty-eight moves?"

Why do these pictures look so much like Shigure tea mortar, Tachisanagi pine leaves, Gosho chariot, etc...

Duanmuhuai turned over silently, feeling that something was wrong.

In the novel, isn't Shilong the master of immortality?

What is this dual cultivation of forty-eight moves?

Oh, by the way, this also has a name.

Taoist demon...

All right.

Duanmu Huai closed the scripture silently.

It seems that we are indeed in the wrong place.

What the **** is this? How did the promised longevity secret turn into this **** thing?

Just when Duanmu Huai was complaining crazily in his heart, suddenly, several lamp posts suddenly lit up in front of him, and he saw five giant ships approaching from the other side.

At the same time, a voice sounded.

"I don't know where the master is in front of me. Please tell me your name. Yu Wenhuaji is here to say hello!"
