Hidden Corner: Chapter 399 399 test one

 Chapter 399 399 Test 1

The rumble of thunder spread across the sky.

Dark clouds were approaching, almost touching the tallest sentry tower at the top of Xinmeng Town.

The cold wind is getting stronger and stronger, making the signboard flags of the shops in the town flutter.

Li Chengyi left Wang's house and walked towards the bookstore in the town.

 Along the way, you can see some old farmers wearing thin clothes, using a piece of rag to put the vegetables they brought with them on the roadside to sell.

Slender boys and errand boys, carrying heavy burdens, came and went in a hurry, basket after basket, to replenish goods for shops everywhere.

 The weather is getting colder, and there are children on the street playing games like jumping sandbags in the alley.

On the gray-black street, Li Chengyi took a quick look and saw that all the people he could see were strong and well-off.

 This place is different from Earth and Moon. The backward productivity makes life more difficult for ordinary people.

  Not to mention the monsters that may appear in the wild from time to time.

Not long after, he turned an intersection and walked on the cracked gray stone road. Among the several houses with black tiles and red doors, a bookstore with a withered yellow wooden sign appeared in front of him.

Yang’s Bookstore.

 This is the only bookstore in town.

In this era where force is paramount and scholars are useless, even ordinary people know who is more useful if they study literature or martial arts.

There were several young men in gray clothes standing at the door of the bookstore, discussing some topic with each other in low voices.

 The cold wind blew by, and several people shrank from time to time, holding the books in their hands tighter.

These young people are all born in the town and are not qualified to learn martial arts. The so-called poor in culture and rich in martial arts is the same here.

The cost of practicing martial arts is too high, and ordinary families cannot afford to learn it. On the contrary, Shaoyin country has developed papermaking technology, and the cost of paper is not expensive. Ordinary families can buy some books if they save money.

So these young people who cannot afford to practice martial arts can only study literature and take the civil service route if they don't want to be craftsmen or ordinary miscellaneous jobs.

Although the treatment of civil servants is not good, they are still officials, and they are also a way out, which can change their destiny.

Li Chengyi came closer and pushed open the wooden door of the bookstore, only to hear several scholars discussing the contents of a book called Journey to the West.

He has read almost all the books in the bookstore in the past two months. With his strong consciousness, he can almost have a photographic memory, and he can naturally remember the contents.

 I came here just to ask the bookstore owner if there are any new books.

Journey to the West mainly records the story of a master of both civil and martial arts named Yue Houxi who traveled around.

 Much of it is unclear whether it is true or not, and is quite exaggerated.

"If it is true or false, how can we explain the Black Moon Valley on the border?" At this time, a scholar with a mole on the corner of his mouth blushed and argued loudly.

"As Brother Han Song said before, the strongest masters in our Shaoyin Kingdom are all on the two lists of the Earth-Splitting and Sealing Heavens. The number one martial artist in the Earth-Splitting World is Yao Xiang Yumu, and the palace master National Master Song Yunhe is on the Sealing Heavens List. The two are There have been countless fights between people.

The most intense one was just a large lake dozens of miles away in the Black Pine Mountains. In this way, both of them suffered losses after that, and each returned to practice for a long time. If it is true, as mentioned in the book, that there are strong men who can burn mountains and boil seas, and split the sky and paint the earth, isn't that even more powerful than those two extremely strong men? There is no such person in this world! ? "

Another person followed closely and said: "Not to mention that it was written in the book that the author saw with his own eyes that someone could pull the star and fall into the earth, destroying a country with hundreds of cities in an instant! This is ridiculous! If someone really pulls the star, I When everyone is standing on the ground, how can they not be aware of it?"

"But according to my careful speculation, there are many details recorded in the book. If they are really false, these things can be found to be wrong with a little scrutiny. But when I scrutinized, I found that every detail was different from what was stated in the book. The writing is very similar.”

The black mole scholar said unwillingly.

"Are you good at martial arts? It's ridiculous. If you are not a martial artist, how can you imagine what such a world is like?"

“Brother Gao seems to have drank too much rice wine. People who have enough food at home are really different from us.”

 “It’s over, it’s over, this topic is too ridiculous and boring, it’s a waste of our time.”

A group of scholars were too lazy to pay attention to the scholar with the black mole, and dispersed in groups, leaving him alone, with a red face and unwilling eyes.

Li Chengyi heard this group of people talking at the door of the bookstore, and his heart moved slightly.

 He also remembered the content of Journey to the West, which contained too many false and exaggerated contents.

"You don't understand anything!" At this time, the young man with black mole said angrily, "I have checked the ancient books and found out that the contents in the books are true. The purple and gold dragon beads worn on the head of the current saint are the legacy of the man who led the stars in the past. Ze comes from the body of a dragon-shaped monster with colorful scales!"

“Since the Dragon Ball is real and exists, the thing that pulls the stars must also be real!”

 “.!?” Li Chengyi’s heart trembled.

 Colorful scaly dragon monster! ?

Isn’t this the phantom dragon? ?

In the memory he got from the language of flowers, there was the image of a phantom dragon. Its appearance was exactly what the young man with a black mole said. It was covered in colorful scales and looked like a dragon. However, compared with other dragon species, it was even more different. Like a dragon.

 He began to think in his mind.

 ‘If the records in Journey to the West are true, then the man who led the stars to destroy hundreds of cities is hiss! ’

He knows how far apart a city is here. If a hundred cities were destroyed, it would be equivalent to an area of ​​millions of square kilometers of the earth and the moon.

 Destroy such a large area with one move.

Even the technological weapons of Earth and Moon do not have such exaggerated power.

Since he killed the crazy old woman with red eyes before, he had a vague feeling that the force value of this place seemed a bit too high.

Now if the records of Journey to the West are true, then the phantom dragon and even the dragon beads were dug out and used as decorations

The water here is really too deep

After calming down the distracting thoughts, Li Chengyi became more determined to hide his identity and integrate into this place along with his true energy.

Integrate first, then secretly investigate to find the heart of the colorful dragon.

If the Dragon Ball is real, then traces and clues can certainly be found in the flesh and blood of other dragons.

Immediately, he quickly asked the store owner a few questions to make sure there were no new books, and then wanted to turn around and leave.

 “Wang Yichen.”

 Suddenly a female voice called him.

 Looking back, it was Guo Yurong whom I had met before.

She is wearing a green waist skirt, white belted moccasin boots, and a pearl silver walking stick on her head. Compared with most other women in the town, she is more delicate and noble.

Although silver pearls are not valuable on the earth and the moon, they are very valuable here.

“Have you finished reading the three books I borrowed from you last time?” Guo Yurong asked with a smile.

“Well, I’ve finished reading. I’ll go back and bring it back to you later.” Li Chengyi smiled and nodded.

"Okay. I bought a few more ancient books. A few days ago, a wealthy family in the county was found to be spreading poisonous blood. All members of the family were confiscated and exterminated. This left a lot of ancient books in my collection. I collected a few of them. , if you want to read it, I can lend it to you." Guo Yurong has a good impression of people who like to read.

"Thank you for your kindness, but no need." Li Chengyi refused, "Next month, I will leave the town and go to the county."

“Next month?” Guo Yurong’s smile paused, “What’s going on? Are you moving?”

“That’s not the case, I’m planning to take the Shenwu Division exam.” Li Chengyi replied.

 Shenwusi.

As soon as Guo Yurong paused, her father Guo Hu, the deputy guard of the Shenwu Division, came out. Naturally, she was quite familiar with it. Occasionally, colleagues of Mr. Shenwusi will pass by and come to the house to drink.

It was precisely because of the familiarity that she was stunned, because she knew that in order to be admitted to the Shenwu Division, the first thing she needed was to write a letter of recommendation from the guard here.

It can be said that as long as you can enter that place, persist and come out later, at worst you will be a deputy guard.

 Hence, Shenwusi is also one of the best paths for all non-bloodline warriors.

"Your martial arts" Guo Yurong clearly remembered that Wang Yichen's martial arts seemed very ordinary.

“Ah, my martial arts progress is pretty good, I’m just qualified.” Li Chengyi said with a smile.

"Really?" Guo Yurong was also relieved, guessing that maybe the opponent had hidden his strength before, practiced hard for many years, and finally waited for the opportunity.

Although the Wang family's Songlu sword skills are mediocre, if you are lucky and can stay in the Shenwu Division for a longer time, and then come out in the future, you can also stabilize the family's status.

 “Congratulations then.” Guo Yurong said.

"Thanks."

The two of them exchanged a few more polite words and then parted ways.

Standing in the store, looking at Li Chengyi's leaving figure, Guo Yurong sighed slightly.

"What's wrong, miss? Do you regret it?" Xiaoqin, the maid behind her, asked jokingly.

"I don't regret it. Although Wang Yichen has changed, the foundation of the Wang family is too weak. Songlu swordsmanship is not as good as the first grade. This means that his upper limit will not be high in the future." Guo Yurong shook his head.

 “I’m just sorry that I don’t have a friend to read with in the future.”

  She looked away, and it was true as she said, she had no regrets.

 Daddy has already told her about a family that is also a big family in the county.

In that big family, there are many martial arts people who practice high-level martial arts, and among them, there are also people of bloodline who serve as the head of the family.

 Blood warriors are the true foundation for this world to remain unshakable.

   *

   *

Time passed quickly as the Wang family prepared and inquired carefully.

September has arrived in a blink of an eye, and the temperature on the black soil is getting colder and colder.

 The news that Wang Yichen was recommended by Shenwu Division slowly spread in the city.

The friends he used to hang out with, whether they knew him or not, came to try to get close to him, but Li Chengyi chased them all away.

  When my predecessor returned home from a near-death situation, these people did not come to visit him. They were all afraid that he might be infected by the poisonous blood on his body.

Now that I heard that he had a future, I came over to try to make friends and get closer to him.

 Don't say that he is not Wang Yichen, even if it is true, it is impossible to pay attention to such people.

 In the Wang Family Courtyard.

Li Chengyi slowly performed the three postures for improving Qi, feeling a large amount of mysterious substances pouring into his body rapidly, gathering his spirit and condensing it into Qi.

 In the white light of Zhenqi that enveloped his body, forty pine lines faintly appeared at this moment.

 This means that he has now had forty years of Song Wen Qi cultivation.

With this growth rate, the flower language ability is superimposed on the already exaggerated practice speed. One month of practice for him is equivalent to twenty years of practice for others, which is a gap of nearly 240 times.

Wang Yifeng only has nineteen pine lines when he catches his head. This is not only because of the innate limitations of his body, but also because his body itself can only hold nineteen years of skill. No matter how much more it is, it cannot be contained.

But Li Chengyi is different. His physical capacity now seems to far exceed that of Wang Yifeng.

 Even with forty years of total energy, it only occupies a very small place in his body.

Whether it is the bloodline of the shadow dragon, the evolution of the dragon realm, or the powerful physique modified by genetic drugs.

 They all gave him a huge amount of energy.

Standing in the room, Li Chengyi slowly repeated the three major exercises for improving Qi.

 Don't stop until the meridians inside your body feel a dull soreness.

Feeling the increasingly strong Songwen Qi, Li Chengyi thought in his mind that since he was about to leave this place, based on his development, there was a high probability that he would not be able to come back again. Therefore, the little guy Liu Mingyang from Jingwei Village should also be arranged. .

Then Liu Mingyang was able to escape alone in the wild for so long and still be fine. He definitely couldn't be a simple person.

There is definitely a secret about him, but Li Chengyi didn't bother to ask, and the other party didn't tell him either.

 After all, no matter how great the secret is, it cannot be as great as his.

‘Unfortunately, only Song Wenqi is used as research material, which is still too little. I need more materials as a reference for comparison. ’

The power of Songwen Qi is not satisfactory, it doesn't matter, the power can be improved, even soft water can cut steel after being pumped under high pressure.

 Li Chengyi, who came from a modern technological society, is not superstitious about inherent impressions. Just to improve the power of Songwen Qi, you must have enough research materials.

 It is the right approach to try it out on others first, and then, after it succeeds, actually implement it on yourself.

 There is currently no way to improve the Qi, so he can only make a fuss about the density of the Qi.

 Use your strong physical fitness to forcefully squeeze the pine grain air to increase its density.

It is difficult to compress the true energy simply by controlling the mind, but he is different. He has the experience of the Seven Minds Holy Spirit Kung Fu.

 He directly adjusts the part of Songwen's true energy that is integrated with the god. The purer and firmer the **** is, the stronger the extracted true energy will be.

Then he used the Huijian to compress the true energy in his own meridians, blocking it front and back and squeezing hard. Under this simple and violent compression, the Songwen true energy was easily compressed into pure white true energy with a much higher concentration than before. .

 Instead of being pale white, its density is at least three times higher than before.

 This method can only be used by people with terrifyingly tough physical bodies, such as Li Chengyi.

For others who dare to squeeze their Qi like this, the first thing that will be exploded will be their own meridians.

 After compressing the energy for a while, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

 Dong dong dong.

“Brother, are you resting?” the second sister Wang Yiheng’s voice came from outside the door.
