Chapter 267: New Neighbor
Liang Qu dressed neatly and went up to the deck to look at the island.
An open space has been cleared on the island near the water. Long tables are connected, and a fine copper incense burner is placed on the table, glowing with a thick golden light in the setting sun.
Xiang Fangsu picked up the big bamboo and pressed it into the ground. The horse's hair on the long pole fluttered in the river wind and did not fall for a long time.
In the opposite corner of the banner, dozens of sergeants pulled iron chains and dragged the iron cage from the ship to the banner.
The square iron cage is extremely thick, and each iron bar is as thick as an ordinary person's wrist.
The mountain cow, which had been hungry for more than ten days, fell to its knees and gasped feebly.
Sacrifice before war to pray for blessings from ancestors.
After the war, sacrifices were made to express gratitude to ancestors for their blessings.
In this way, there is a beginning and an end, otherwise it will be like taking the "benefits" and running away, which is not polite.
When the sacrifice is over, the Qing Dynasty Ghost Mother Cult branch has come to an end. Except for some sergeants who stayed behind, the rest can follow the large army back to Pingyang County.
The ceremony table decoration is completed.
Liang Qu followed the crowd to the island and stood among the crowd.
The night breeze is gentle.
Silence and silence.
A huge bull was lying on the ground. Thick red blood flowed from the wound on its neck and accumulated into a small pool along the mud pit.
The sergeants of the Hebo Station carried dozens of corpses to the center of the field and piled them on top of each other.
Different from ordinary martial arts masters who were cremated early and ended up in a small wooden box, now they were all meritorious men who had made meritorious deeds but died in battle.
There is a layer of corpses, a layer of firewood, and a layer of kerosene.
Sadness spread among the crowd, and the young sergeant couldn't help but tremble, fearful, and more grateful.
I'm glad I survived, I'm glad I didn't become one of the corpses, and I'm still alive to see my family.
Yang Dongxiong sighed.
Xu Yuelong opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Finally he closed his mouth and remained silent.
The guards came forward and bowed.
"Lord Captain, you are ready."
"ignition."
After receiving the order, several personal guards lined up in all directions and threw torches together.
The torch fell on the body soaked in fire oil, and a raging flame immediately ignited, rolling from bottom to top.
The bonfire rose little by little under the night sky, and finally turned into flames that soared into the sky, piercing a narrow strip of light on the water.
Black smoke accumulated in the sky, sometimes covering up the waning moon. The unpleasant stench mixed with the bloody smell of mountain cattle made people feel sick to their stomachs.
Even after the sacrifice was over, Liang Qu returned to the building boat and still felt that the smell lingered for a long time. It seemed to be rooted in his nose and came out to harass him from time to time.
After the follow-up matters on the island were dealt with, the building ship lowered its white sails, broke through the darkness, and sailed in the direction from which it came.
The top floor of the ship.
Xu Yuelong gathered all the filled-in documents, put them into a long box, fastened the lock, and bowed slightly.
"Farewell to Dragon Elephant Martial Saint."
"Farewell to Dragon Elephant Martial Saint."
There were more than thirty people present, and they all bowed together like a sea wave.
Liang Qu raised his head slightly and saw between his fingers that the long box turned into a stream of light, passed through the window and disappeared into the horizon.
I test.
"Can Xuan Bing move on his own?"
Liang Qu looked at Ke Wenbin beside him.
"Or you think so."
Ke Wenbin glanced at Liang Qu up and down, revealing his surprise. For the first time, he knew that Liang Qu didn't know the meaning of Wusheng Xuanbing at all.
"No matter how powerful the weapon is, it cannot beat the Grandmaster just by hunting tigers. There are too many differences in experience, strength, vision, and magical powers."
"Then how did we win?"
Liang Qu was very curious.
A few days ago, he was embarrassed to ask, for fear that this was something that ordinary people should not know.
Ke Wenbin said: "The so-called mysterious weapons have spirits, it's not just talk. You should know the "origin" of a warrior."
Liang Qu nodded.
From the early days of entering martial arts, Senior Brother Hu told him about the "basic" of a warrior.
It also lets him know why the water in other people's bodies cannot be controlled unless his "original" strength greatly exceeds that of others.
Seeing Liang Qu nod, Ke Wenbin continued.
"When you reach the realm of the Martial Saint, you can already refine your own magical power, that is, part of your own 'origin' into weapons, which is equivalent to expanding your concept as a person."
Ke Wenbin emphasized the emphasis on the word "一".
Liang Qu heard the implication: "That is to say, a normal person has two hands, two feet, and one head, but a martial saint wants to grow an extra sword and a gun?"
Ke Wenbin touched his chin: "It feels like what you said is weird, but that's pretty much what it means."
Liang Qu stood in awe,
It's a very powerful method. From the performance point of view, Xuan Bing's hands and feet are more powerful than ordinary ones.
After all, if the hands and feet are separated from the person's body, the person will have no sense and control.
Xuan Bing's performance is not like this!
The two Martial Saints are at least thousands of miles away, but they can still easily control the Xuan Bing, and even know the surrounding environment through the Xuan Bing!
Xu Yuelong just said farewell, and Xuan Bing flew away on his own.
"The ones fighting those two grandmasters were actually not our great martial masters, but those two martial saints!
The role that the great martial artist can play is limited, he is only responsible for supply, which is the same as the handful of fodder for the horse.
It sounds like we are lucky. It is very difficult for a pair of black soldiers to deal with two second-step masters, but who allowed us to catch up? Do you remember the last time when the world had big breasts?
The new Martial Saint was close to Pingyang County, just south of Zhili. In addition, the pressure against Beiting was greatly reduced, and the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint also had his hands free.
The two phases are superimposed to make this trip so smooth. "
Liang Qu suddenly realized.
Move the whole body.
On the day of Big Breast World, he was having a drink with his senior brothers and sisters in a restaurant. The shopkeeper gave them a 20% discount. He never thought that it would affect a big event a few months later.
"Isn't it very fast to use Xuanbing to send messages?"
"Aren't you giving it away?"
Ke Wenbin pursed his lips, referring to the table where the long box is placed.
You have to pay back what you borrowed, but you have already come, so of course you can't go back empty-handed. That would be a waste of a good opportunity.
I can't carry big items, so I can easily carry information.
The dignified Martial Saint doesn't care about helping a little bit, it's all for Dashun.
It's a pity that it can't be used frequently. If something happens to Wu Sheng's Xuanbing, it will have a big impact on Wu Sheng.
"It only takes half a day from us to the imperial capital with Xuan Bing's speed. There is no way you can be faster. Official positions of seventh rank and below can be directly confirmed by Nanzhili.
If you tell me, there should be good news before August. If we go to Pingyang County or South Zhili, we will be stamped by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. "
…
Under night.
The building boat slowly docked.
Liang Qu stepped onto the land, and an unprecedented sense of solidity spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body.
It only took less than two days when I went there, but it took a full three days when I came back due to wind, current, etc.
It's almost late July now.
"A small branch of the Ghost Mother Cult, it took me half a month to come and go."
Liang Qu really felt that time passed too fast. It didn't take long for a battle to start. It was the front and rear that were fatal.
Saying goodbye to his master and others, Liang Qu, who had been away from Pingyang County for a long time, couldn't wait to go home with his big bow and spear on his back.
It was midnight, under curfew, and the streets were empty without a soul.
The soldiers who occasionally patrolled learned that the martial arts master from Hebo Institute had returned early, but when they saw Liang Qu dressed up, they did not dare to come forward and ask questions.
After returning home, Liang Qu put down his weapon and went to the pond to see how the beaver was doing. As a result, he learned unexpected news from the old clam.
There’s a new “beast” in the house!
