The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 74 Conception Picture (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly recommendation)

After a while.

South City, City Guard Department.

In the chief constable's hall, the two squad leaders, Zheng Wang and Luo Chang, were reporting in a low voice.

"It should have happened within an hour before dawn, and the blood hasn't even dried yet..."

"He was killed with one sword, so quick and clean. The He family personally sent someone to examine the body. They said that the person who attacked was extremely powerful, and he used the Wind-Breaking Sword Force."

Zheng Wang and Luo Chang recounted the matter in detail.

Sima of Nancheng Division was murdered, so naturally the chief constable Su Mu also arrived at the scene.

However, when people from the He family from the inner city came, they drove him out directly. However, Zheng Wang and Luo Chang, who were originally close to He Yuxing, were able to stay there.

"I heard from the He family that the murderer might be Peng Li, who is ranked 95th on the wanted criminal list. He is famous for his wind-breaking sword skills and happened to be seen near Wuling City recently."

The two said, "The He family said they will hunt down the murderer and we don't need to get involved."

Su Mu listened calmly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand."

Since the He family has intervened, it means they have nothing to do with it.

"Captain Su, although we are no longer needed to investigate the case, Sima has been murdered. What should our Nancheng Division do next? You still have to step up and take the helm for us."

Zheng Wang said while bowing.

"Don't worry. Sima He was originally going to be promoted, and the new Sima has been appointed. After something like this happened, the new Sima should be in office soon. Before that, just wait and see. Everything is as usual."

Su Mu stood up and walked out. "Nothing to do today. I'm going to patrol the streets."

As a captain of police, there is naturally no need for him to patrol the streets.

However, the captain of the police, Su Mu, is a little special. He always likes to patrol the streets.

Zheng Wang and Luo Chang simply attributed this to Su Mu's special preference and did not take it too seriously.

After all, the previous chief constable liked money, the previous chief constable liked beautiful women, and Chief Constable Xiao Su liked patrolling the streets. It makes sense, right?
Su Mu spent the whole day patrolling the streets, but it was difficult to find thieves on the streets of South City. They hid deeper than before.

This made Su Mu a little disappointed.

However, he still dealt with three neighborhood disputes and returned home after successfully completing a day's work.

Returning to his bedroom, Su Mu closed the doors and windows, then removed a few floor tiles in the corner.

There is a secret compartment under the floor tiles, which contains a rosewood box and a scroll.

There is also a blue steel sword worth seven taels of silver that can be easily bought at a street blacksmith shop.

"Ranked 95th on the wanted criminal list, Peng Li, what a coincidence."

Su Mu said to himself.

No one knew that he was practicing the Wind-Breaking Sword Technique. He originally just wanted to hide his identity, but he didn't expect that it would have the effect of diverting disaster away.

Like the Broken Wind Sword Technique and the Fu Bo Sabre Technique, neither of them is a rare martial art and can be purchased for a few hundred taels of silver.

However, it is not easy to practice this martial art into a knife or sword move.

After killing He Yuxing and Fu Peisheng yesterday, Su Mu was called to Nancheng Division before he had time to check his gains.

"Forty thousand taels..."

The thick stack of banknotes surprised Su Mu.

I knew He Yuxing was rich, but I didn't expect him to be so rich.

Xu Mingchen, who was once known as the richest man in South City, might not be able to come up with so much cash.

Putting the banknotes and the previous silver together, Su Mu opened the scroll. Compared to the silver, he was more interested in this.

"Xunfeng artistic conception map!"

Su Mu's breathing became a little rapid. He had learned from Luo An Ning before that there was a shortcut to comprehending artistic conception, and that was to use the artistic conception map.

The so-called artistic conception pictures are those drawn by some powerful people who have comprehended the artistic conception and recorded their perception of the artistic conception in the form of paintings.

If it is the original one, it would definitely be priceless.

Even a copied version can be worth a fortune.

The most important thing is that artistic conception paintings are priceless. Whoever gets them will collect them as heirlooms and will not sell them easily.

"What a coincidence! I have mastered the Wind-Breaking Sword Style, and now I have obtained the Xunfeng Artistic Conception Diagram. Who knows, maybe I can comprehend the Xunfeng Artistic Conception."

Su Mu carefully observed the painting of Xunfeng artistic conception.

This picture is very abstract. It seems to depict a wilderness that is endless with dozens of wisps of wind painted on it, giving people a feeling of being out of this world.

The origin of martial arts can be traced back to an unknown ancient era. Some beings who stood at the top of the world looked down at the heaven and earth and classified all things into sixty-four symbols.

The sixty-four symbols are too profound and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, so some people in later generations simplified them into eight artistic conceptions.

The eight kinds of artistic conception can still only be comprehended by those with extraordinary talents, so some strong people took pity on all living things and derived countless "forces" from simple to complex.

This is the origin of the evolution of the endless techniques and skills, swordplay and saber-rattling in the world.

From complex to simple, and then from simple to complex, the closer you get to the original, the more difficult it is to master.

The martial arts popular in the world today are actually very far from comprehending the heaven and earth, but their advantage is that they are easier to master and even the most ordinary people can practice them.

In fact, the original sixty-four images have long been lost in the vast space of time and have become a legendary object. It is hard to say whether they still exist.

Even the original eight artistic conception diagrams have long since disappeared.

The artistic conception paintings that can be seen today are basically drawn by later warriors based on their own understanding, and are far from the original ones.

The artistic conception contained in it, both in terms of its depth and the degree to which it is close to the essence of heaven and earth, cannot be compared with the original artistic conception picture.

"The real treasure should be the original Sixty-Four Symbols Diagram. The artistic conception diagram that is circulated nowadays is just the perception of the artistic conception by some warriors. After being copied and engraved again and again, it will only become more and more distorted."

Su Mu thought to himself, "I don't know how many times this artistic conception painting has been copied, the quality is really poor.

But it’s just right for me. I may not be able to comprehend a picture with too high a level of artistic conception.”

Although if one masters more sword techniques of the Xunfeng lineage, one might be able to comprehend the Xunfeng artistic conception.

However, a picture with artistic conception may shorten the time it takes him to comprehend the artistic conception.

What if you understand it right away?

Then you don't have to go through the trouble of learning various sword techniques of the Xunfeng lineage.

After Su Mu calmed down and adjusted his state, he sat down on the bed and placed the Xunfeng artistic conception painting in front of him.

Looking carefully at the painting of Xunfeng artistic conception, watching the wisps of wind on it, I gradually became immersed in it.

But after some time, he suddenly felt that the wisps of wind seemed to come alive, turning into real wind, blowing on his body.

Su Mu looked up in a daze and found that the wind had started to blow outside without him noticing.

It wasn't that he felt the artistic conception, but there was really wind blowing in through the cracks in the window.
