Martial Cultivator

In the next ten days or so, Chen Chao spent most of the rest of his time reading, except for the time he polished his muscles.

Xie Nandu brings books back to the library to study every day. When she finishes reading a book, that book will fall into the hands of Chen Chao. Over the years, he has been killing monsters in the mountains to earn heavenly money. Qingxian County is so remote that there are only a few books on spiritual practice. Therefore, although Chen Chao has wanted to clearly understand the world of spiritual practice in recent years, he has never had any way. Now he finally has some opportunities and time. Naturally, he couldn't miss it. He absorbed the hard-won knowledge almost greedily. When he encountered something he didn't understand, Xie Nandu beside him could always give him the answer.

Such study conditions are already beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It was as if Chen Chao controlled the library of an academy and could read all-encompassing books at will. The most helpless thing was that he was not a student of the academy.

He is just an outsider.

But no one knew. Everyone thought that Xie Nandu was reading those classics, and they didn't expect that the martial artist would also be thinking about these things.

When the academy students outside saw that the young man was staying longer and longer in Xie Nandu's small courtyard, they thought that what Song Lian said at the lakeside was probably true. Some academy students who had some thoughts about Xie Nandu naturally felt disappointed. Continuously, some students felt that this was offensive and had already informed their respective teachers about the matter. However, in the end, there was still no punishment. The small courtyard was still the same small courtyard, and the young girl and boy were still enjoying themselves quietly. With this kind of time.

As time goes by, the weather is getting hotter. Warriors like Chen Chao who have already crossed several realms cannot feel it, but the girl who has just stepped into the first realm feels a little bad. As for those who feel worse, they It's the ordinary maid Liu Ye. Fortunately, these days she has gone to the academy to ask for a few talismans and posted them all over the courtyard, which has brought the temperature down in the yard. However, these talismans almost need to be changed every three or two days. , the monk who drew the talisman was not a high-level monk, so he couldn't maintain it for too long.

Today, Liu Ye went to replace another batch of talisman papers, and threw the removed talismans directly into the stove. The next time a fire was made, these talismans would turn into dust.

Chen Chao came to the eaves and stood in front of a talisman. He looked at the complicated and beautiful lines on it. He was silent for a long time before turning around and sitting down again.

Looking at the girl opposite who was focused on the book she was holding in her hands, Chen Chao said, "I think I know too few things."

In the mine before, the Qi Refiners had many skills, but he only had a knife and a polished body.

Xie Nandu didn't even raise his head and said, "Fu Tao is a special kind among the major schools of cultivation. It is almost impossible to practice it at the same time. If you want to study Fu Tao, you have to give up your identity as a martial artist."

. "

Xie Nandu frowned, suddenly raised his head and said, "I said before that I could get you a place to take the academy exam, but you said you just want to be a martial artist?"

Old Chen Chao blushed. Because he practiced so fast, they all thought he was a real genius. But in fact, no one knew that his talent was too low. In fact, he could only struggle to move forward in the martial arts. As for walking so far Come on, that's the result of endless torturing yourself.

"I just want more ways to save my life. Of course I just want to be a martial artist."

Chen Chao spoke eloquently.

Xie Nandu groaned and said casually, "In this case, just continue to climb the martial arts. One day, I think you will become a person like the guardian."

Chen Chao smiled and asked, "What about you? What do you practice?"

Talking about this, Xie Nandu frowned and said, "I once told my husband that I wanted to practice a flying sword, but my husband said that it was too lethal and not suitable for a woman like me."

Among the monks outside Fang, the sword cultivator has the strongest killing power and is the most feared. Among the major sects, if there is a disciple with a talent for sword practice, the disciple will naturally choose the sword cultivator. From the perspective of the monk outside, Come on, sword cultivators have endless killing power, and there are few opponents in the same realm. If there are more colorful sword cultivators under the sect, the foundation of a sect will be more stable. After all, if you can type two words, you can settle down and live. the foundation.

In addition to those sword sects, all major sects also have some sword cultivation methods, and naturally the academy also has them.

Chen Chao smiled and said, "In the future, a female swordsman will be born in the academy. Isn't that good?"

Xie Nandu smiled slightly and said nothing.

Soon, she raised her head and handed the book in her hand to Chen Chao. Chen Chao happened to close the book in his hand and handed it to Liu Ye.

After experiencing what happened at the lakeside, Liu Ye's view of Chen Chao has changed a lot. Although she still can't say that she likes him, she definitely doesn't dislike him as before.

Xie Nandu said, "You can read as fast as me. It's really amazing."

This was a sincere compliment, and of course I was also complimenting myself casually.

When it comes to reading, after so many years, Xie Nandu has yet to find a rival.

Chen Chao said modestly, "It's just rote memorization. It's not as thorough as you understand."

Xie Nandu thought for a while and did not refute, as if he acquiesced to this statement.

Chen Chao was a little speechless, but just when he was about to speak, he remembered that he had important things to do today, and couldn't help but

Gotta frown.

…

…

There are many civilians living in the remote low alleys in Nancheng. Although these ordinary people do not have to worry about monsters in the divine capital, in other aspects they are the same as ordinary people in other places in the Liang Dynasty, and even more so. Disaster.

Gods live there, so it's not easy.

In a dilapidated small courtyard in a low alley, there are many bamboo poles lying across the courtyard. Countless clothes are hanging on the bamboo poles, some of them are wet, and they are still dripping water. The sound of water drops falling to the ground is replaced by others. Sound masking.

In the center of the yard, there is a well, and beside the well is a huge wooden basin. A woman in a sarong is sitting by the wooden basin, washing clothes. Next to the wooden basin, there are a bunch of hills. high dirty laundry

As the sun fell into the yard, the sweat on the woman's forehead kept dripping into the tub. As her movements continued to rise and fall, her chest also rippled.

Just as Chen Chao was about to nod his head to judge, Song Lian reached out to stop his gaze.

Chen Chao felt helpless and said, "You think of me too seriously."

Song Lian snorted coldly and did not talk about it. Instead, he said, "Tell me quickly what to do?"

Chen Chao asked doubtfully, "You, the commander of the left guard of the city of God, do you like her and she is still unwilling?"

Song Lian didn't speak, his face was ashen.

Chen Chao looked at Song Lian, who was also wearing ordinary common clothes, and said sincerely, "She is living such a hard life. If you have the conditions to make her life better, just tell her. Why do you have to act like this?" Are you thinking that she is greedy for your money? This is a problem... but it doesn't seem to be a problem for you. "

Song Lian frowned and said, "It's not what you think, but even though she has had such a hard life, she still doesn't want to follow him just because he has money. There were marriage proposals here before, and the conditions were not bad, but they were all She declined."

Hearing this, Chen Chao praised, "She is an old... good girl."

"But why is she still alone at this age?"

Chen Chao rubbed his chin, feeling that things were a bit troublesome, but since he had received money, he naturally had to help others.

This is basic.

"When she was young, her family was already poor, and the little savings she had were given to her two younger brothers to find wives. When she came to her, she couldn't get any dowry, so she delayed it. Now at this age, , naturally not many people like her, but she doesn’t like those who like her. "

Song Lian, a martial artist, sighed when he mentioned these things. \u003cb

r\u003e

Chen Chao asked, "What about you?"

Song Lian had a straight face. He didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking about it, he still said, "When I was young, I was dedicated to climbing the martial arts. I never thought about these things. At that time, the elders in the family introduced some from time to time. Now, it is delayed."

Chen Chao asked again, "Then how did you know that girl?"

"Once I came to investigate a case nearby, and I seemed to lose my soul when I saw her. Later, I came here frequently. I bought a house there and became her half-neighbor. I occasionally talked to her. Originally, It’s okay to think that I can live like this for the rest of my life, but now that the soil is buried up to my crotch, it’s time to do something..."

"Okay, don't say any more."

Chen Chao rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "You want to know if this girl likes you, but you didn't actually ask. How do you know she doesn't like you?"

"Isn't it too straightforward for me to ask her if she likes me?"

Song Lian frowned, feeling that this was not good.

Chen Chao asked, "How long will you be tactful?"

Song Lian said matter-of-factly, "So isn't this coming to you?"

He spent a lot of money on this matter. With that little money, he could buy half a house here.

Chen Chao rubbed his head, feeling a little headache and said, "Let me think about it."

Song Lian frowned and said, "Anyway, you have to help me get this thing done. When the time comes, I will get married, my child will be one month old, and my son will go to school..."

Chen Chao waved his hand to interrupt his expectation and said angrily, "Why don't you want you to have a grandchild?!"

Song Lian looked serious, but he really had this idea.

Chen Chao glanced at the courtyard and looked back, "Escape first, we will come back in a few days."

Song Lian seemed to remember something and shook his head, "Maybe not in a few days."

Chen Chao looked confused and asked, "Why?"

"Because you are going to the palace for a banquet in a few days."

"What banquet?"

"Before the Wanliu Hui, His Majesty the Emperor has a royal banquet for the ten young people who will attend the Wanliu Hui."

"Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"

"Didn't I tell you this?"

"What if I didn't say that?"

"What words?"

Chen Chao stared at Song Lian, gritted his teeth and said, "Sir Song, why didn't I see that you are such a person at first?"

Song Lian said seriously, "Me too."
