Chapter 10: Visiting the King in the Hazy Cloud Night ()
Gongsun Wan'er unsheathed her sword, but she didn't say anything. After Zhang Kuang was full of wine and food, he spent some money and asked a few beggar-like refugees to throw the bodies of the four people into the wilderness.
The waiter led the two of them to their respective rooms with some trepidation.
Lying on the bed crazily, I recalled the mysterious realm just now, but I still couldn't figure it out. In that state, it is the unity of heaven and man!
Between breaths, the air hangs in the Dantian. Arrogantly sitting like an old monk in trance, his true energy circulated, and the meridians and internal organs that had just been injured by Tie Ying healed quickly.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of breath, every step of the body is tempering his body and changing his constitution. Zhang Kuang¡¯s meridians are now strong and strong, far beyond ordinary people, and his body¡¯s recovery speed is even more amazing! If things continue like this, Zhang Kuang believes that one day, he will even be able to live forever! Even the legendary ascension during the day is not impossible.
Touching the gauze tied to his left arm, Kuang Kuang said to himself: "I'm afraid it's hard to tell whether this is a blessing or a curse."
There was a sudden knock on the door. He was startled and got out of bed.
¡°Who is it?!¡±
"It's me." A soft voice came from outside the door.
Zhang Kuang breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.
There is a person standing outside the door, a woman!
Gongsun Wan'er.
She changed into plain white clothes, but the heavy veil still hung on her head.
In the dead of night, the two people stood facing each other in silence.
There is no moonlight, no stars, just a wisp of cold wind blowing from the mountain. Gongsun Wan'er's white "Xunxun" dances like a fairy from the Nine Heavens.
Zhang Kuang finally asked: "What's the matter?" breaking this rare tranquility.
Gongsun Wan'er didn't answer, but just said: "Follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Although Zhang Kuang was confused, he still closed the door and chased Gongsun Wan'er in the direction he left. The two of them went away for a long time.
Gongsun Wan'er walked neither hastily nor slowly, and the cold wind that faced her late at night had no effect on her.
Zhang Kuang didn¡¯t ask, just followed her. The chill came and Zhang Kuang felt slightly cold.
The two of them walked to the main street of Tianyun City. Due to the curfew, the street was deserted.
Zhang Kuang followed Gongsun Wan'er, looked at her slender back, shrugged helplessly, and walked with his head down.
The two of them walked all the way to Dizhaifang in the north of the city. The north of the city is where dignitaries and dignitaries live. Here, there are all luxurious and huge mansions and courtyards. Made of gold and powder, it looks quite luxurious.
Gongsun Wan'er walked to a mansion and knocked on the door. Zhang Kuang stood behind her and looked up. On the door plaque above the mansion, there were five gilt characters written "Zhennan Wang's Courtyard".
The door opened a little, but it was the boy holding a lantern.
Gongsun Wan'er said to Zhang Kuang: "Go in!"
Gongsun Wan'er and Zhang Kuang walked straight into the courtyard without any obstruction from the young man.
Zhang Kuang and Gongsun Wan'er entered the courtyard. The lights inside the door were as bright as day.
As soon as he entered the door, there was a rockery with some carvings on it, and underneath it was a pool. Zhang Kuang's eyes were sharp and he saw the carvings that read: "For the general's merit in capturing thieves, he is awarded the title of brave general On the occasion of the decisive battle." , kill the enemy's most powerful warrior, kill the six leading thieves in total, and more than 300 thieves, seal the southern king of the town, and be exempted from the court. As a reward, he will be given Dragon Song Armor, 800 acres of shade, and 10,000 households."
Zhang Kuang glanced at it and knew that it was the battle achievements of the Zhennan King in his life.
Zhang Kuang followed Gongsun Wan'er and walked inside again. Inside, there were also five steps of burning lanterns and ten steps of a fire pavilion. Seeing such a generous act, Zhang Kuang couldn't help but chuckle to himself: "It was really troublesome for the ancients to light lamps. In modern times, an incandescent lamp can light up a hall!"
The courtyard was very large, and Gongsun Wan'er walked with Zhang Kuang for several cups of tea before finally stopping in front of a hall with an open door.
Gongsun Wan'er said softly: "Don't say too much later, otherwise you will get into trouble, and I can't help you."
Zhang Kuang nodded in agreement, Gongsun Wan'er entered the room first, and Zhang Kuang also stepped into the door.
As soon as he took the first step, Zhang Kuang felt an intimidating force coming towards him! Zhang Kuang's face suddenly turned pale. His power was like that of an overlord dominating the world, with a strong murderous intent!
Crazy and crazy, I felt like a small boat in the waves of the sea, with no resistance in my body! My legs went weak for a moment and I almost knelt down! Zhang Kuang gritted his teeth, his whole body trembled, and all his zhenqi moved rapidly, and he managed to hold on.
Then, he took another step.
In an instant, all the pressure and murderous intent dissipated, as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Kuang took a deep breath and walked forward.
Gongsun Wan'er turned around and looked at Zhang Kuang, as if she understood something, and said, "Are you okay?" Zhang Kuang shook his head.
Gongsun Wan'er nodded and walked towards the hall.
In front of the hall is a marble screen with pictures of the Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum embroidered on it. Zhang Kuang walked around the screen and saw clearly the furnishings in the hall.
The seats on the left and right sides are all made of fine yellow pear wood, and the main seat in the hall is carved with a gold wall depicting a picture of a tiger looking at the country. Below the picture is the main seat where the host sits.
There was a person sitting at the main table, a man. He was about thirty, wearing a green and yellow python robe. There was a pot of wine and a few side dishes on the seat. The man sat there, as if he had merged with nature, like an ancient well, unfathomable and unfathomable. No waves.
Zhang Kuang¡¯s eyes flashed with light, this man is a terrifying master! It¡¯s so high that it¡¯s hard to even hope for!
Gongsun Wan'er stepped forward and said, "Uncle Shi is in such a good mood?"
The man raised his head, and only then did he realize that the man had white hair on his forehead and was older than he expected. However, this man is very brave! That strand of white hair adds a unique charm!
The man put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "It turns out that the girl from the Gongsun family is here. I just came here yesterday to escape the summer heat. I didn't expect you to come here today. How have you been lately?!" The voice was strong and loud.
Zhang Kuang was startled. Hearing the voice, he was at least around fifty, and this man looked like he was in his thirties!
Gongsun Wan'er said: "Uncle Shi is joking. Wan'er is being hunted by the court's eagle dogs and has been escaping for two months. As uncle Shi is the king of Zhennan, Wan'er has no choice but to come here to seek some protection."
The King of Zhennan smiled and said: "With your methods, can anyone do anything to you?"
Gongsun Wan'er then said again: "The one who came to hunt Wan'er this time is the third-speed Iron Eagle of the internal department! If it weren't for the guards I hired, I would have died!"
The King of Zhennan frowned, shook his head and sighed: "What a sycophant! That guy Cao Zhengchun bewitched the emperor and practiced the art of immortality, which made the government and the public a mess. The emperor has not been to the morning court for half a year!"
Gongsun Wan'er said: "Why does Uncle Shi still have illusions about that dog emperor?! It doesn't matter that the dog emperor doesn't love the people like his son, but what kind of immortality does he practice? In fact, he harvests yin and replenishes yang, harming women! In the past six months, Are there still a few women who died after being molested by him?" King Zhennan shook his head and smiled bitterly, his eyes drifted towards Zhang Kuang, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he asked: "Is this person the guard you hired?" Obviously, He was asking Gongsun Wan'er.
Gongsun Wan'er nodded and replied: "Not bad."
King Zhennan nodded in approval and said: "It's indeed good! At such a young age, he has already stepped into the realm of innateness, and his breathing is also filled with mysterious principles! Boy, how long have you been practicing internal strength?"
Zhang Kuang replied: "Less than three years"
Zhang Kuang lied. Indeed, his cultivation time was still short, but Zhang Kuang could feel that the speed of his cultivation was absolutely astonishing! If you say it out loud, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing. Moreover, there are many interpretations of less than three years. Two years of practice, one year of practice, and three months of practice are all less than three years. It all depends on what the King of Zhennan thinks.
King Zhennan smiled and said: "You have reached the realm of innateness in less than three years, what a good boy! It took Gongsun Dizun a full six years of cultivation to achieve this level, but I practiced a full nine years! Haha, if you had not died young, I'm afraid that guy It¡¯s time to give up the title of No. 1 in the world!¡±
Zhang Kuang didn¡¯t expect that his deliberately long words would be so shocking, so he couldn¡¯t help but secretly thought: ¡°If I told you that I have been practicing for less than three months, wouldn¡¯t you want to hang yourself?¡±
But he said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, I'm too grateful. I was just taught by an expert by chance. It's not my own qualifications."
King Zhennan also said: "No wonder you have a long aura and strong internal energy, but your five senses are not clear. So that's the case. It's what you said, that kind of skill is called 'Daigo Initiation', but it is a sideways method. Few people Apply.¡±
