This place is fun

Chapter 25 Three Days
Su Daoshan felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

When he first saw the extraordinary power through the fight between Fan Caiyi and Tu Sen, he subconsciously thought that this was a secret inheritance of this world for thousands of years. It was the result of the natural evolution of this world. Just like the martial arts path of ordinary warriors, there is a clear development context. It's just that the extraordinary level is too powerful and rare, so it is strictly kept secret, so that people don't know it.

But Su Daoshan never dreamed that the origin of extraordinary warriors could only be traced back to the catastrophe of the destruction of the world. It has only been a hundred years since they appeared.

There is absolutely no thread of development, it seems as if it suddenly appeared.

“Is this the power of the God of Creation?”

"But why didn't this power leave any trace in the old era? It wasn't until the apocalypse when only one in ten humans survived and civilization was nearly destroyed that this power appeared?"

"Is this a test, punishment, or salvation from the Creator God?"

Su Daoshan couldn't figure it out.

What made him most uneasy was that he found it hard to imagine to what extent such a powerful and strange mysterious power system could be explored in less than a hundred years.

What he saw and heard in his previous life made Su Daoshan know better than anyone that no matter what new business it is, the initial stage is often the time when competition is the most intense, cruel, barbaric, and the time when mistakes are most likely to be made. Those who rush to the front are also cannon fodder who step on mines.

On the high tide, corpses were scattered all over the ground. Every participant had to pay a huge price to find a way out.

"That's too reckless." Su Daoshan's eyelids twitched.

Of course, I don't regret it. After all, this mysterious and powerful power is an irresistible and fatal temptation for any man. In a strange world where the weak are the prey of the strong and the strong are respected, it is never wrong to choose a stronger strength.

Keep reading.

"The Yi Men are divided into six categories. Among them, the five major categories of scholars, farmers, merchants, and soldiers are regarded as the right path to heaven."

"The so-called human way is the way of heaven. Since the creation of Lanzhuo, the reason why these trades have developed and formed in the human world, rather than other things, is that these trades are not just professions, but also the path that conforms to the way of heaven. Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, creating characters to record events, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, burning clay to make pottery, casting iron to make tools, weaving cloth to make clothes... These are not the choices of humans, but the choices of heaven."

"Since Heaven has created humans like this, humans will feel cold and hungry. When they are cold, they need to wear clothes, and when they are hungry, they need to eat. To wear clothes, they need to spin cotton, linen and silk, and to eat, they need to grow grains... It seems like a personal decision, but in fact it has been predetermined. Humans are just following Heaven's will. Therefore, these industries seem ordinary, but in fact, they have been in line with Heaven's will since their origin."

Su Daoshan thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed the case.

"In addition to the five major professions, there is a sixth profession. This profession is called miscellaneous profession. It is a general term for professions such as medicine, mathematics, dentistry, strength, drama, running, theft, and prostitution. Miscellaneous professions are both good and evil, and are not considered the right path."

"When a super warrior comprehends the extraordinary arts, he is considered to have entered the door. There are four realms and twelve levels in the level of the extraordinary arts. The entry is the lower level of the human realm. The upper levels are the earth realm, the heaven realm and the Tao realm. These four realms represent the rules and levels of the extraordinary arts mastered by the super warriors."

"In addition to mastering the special skills of their own profession, the five main professions also correspond to different five elements."

"The scholar is broad-minded, guards the land and herds the people, is virtuous and carries the world, and is close to the earth. The farmer plants in spring and harvests in autumn, and is close to wood. The craftsman works with fire, and cannot make tools without fire, so he is close to fire. The merchant makes money by harmony and harmony, and his goods flow through the three rivers, so he is close to water. The soldier wears armor and holds sharp weapons, and is unmatched in hardness, so he is close to metal."

"That is why the scholars are called the scholars of the earth way. The farmers are called the farmers of the wood way. The workers are called the workers of the fire way. The merchants are called the merchants of the water way. The soldiers are called the soldiers of the gold way."

Seeing this, Su Daoshan immediately understood.

No wonder Fan Caiyi could turn into water mist and move instantly when fighting Tu Sen. She is a water merchant, and water has no fixed shape. This is the exclusive characteristic of water merchants. Tu Sen is a soldier, so he has the strange skill of turning his whole body into metal.

"I wonder what kind of five-element magic the scholars have... Earth escape? Shrinking the earth into an inch?" Su Daoshan was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, Yiwen Jianghulu is just an introductory book, and the relevant introductions are relatively rough, without detailed explanations for each different profession.

After slowly flipping through the thin book, Su Daoshan saw the introduction of the secret weapon at the end of the book. This kind of artifact with extraordinary power also first appeared in the era of the apocalypse. But surprisingly, the book did not have a definite conclusion about the origin and nature of the secret weapon.

Unlike the extraordinary warriors who gained extraordinary powers by fusing Tao seeds, no one knew how these mysterious objects possessed extraordinary powers. Moreover, the extraordinary powers they displayed seemed strange and distorted compared to the strange arts rooted in the original rules.

"Most secret weapons are found in secret realms. Some people believe that this is the result of the artifacts being eroded by some mysterious force for a long time after the space was broken in the turbulence of time and space. However, this force does not belong to the original force of the world and shows obvious specificity."

"The strangest thing is that these secret weapons usually have certain life characteristics. But their forms and personalities vary greatly. Some are paranoid and extreme, some are evil, some are dull, some are sharp, and some are peaceful... But no matter how normal a secret weapon looks, it may fall into a state of madness at some point and lose control."

"The widespread use of secret weapons has only occurred in the last sixty years. The emergence of more and more secret weapons has led to significant changes in the way that different supernatural professions fight. Supernatural warriors without secret weapons are often at a disadvantage in battle."

"This has led to more and more extraordinary warriors relying on secret weapons."

"But a secret weapon is a double-edged sword. Not only is it highly offensive to the enemy, but it can also backfire on the owner. In recent decades, countless extraordinary warriors have died from the secret weapons they controlled. Therefore, the more powerful the secret weapon is, the more dangerous it is. An inadequately powerful extraordinary warrior who tries to control a powerful secret weapon or multiple secret weapons is courting death."

"Someone compiled a list of rare objects based on the degree of danger of secret weapons. There are three major lists: heaven, earth, and man. It records the secret weapons that are currently known and whose information is basically public."

Because it was just an additional introduction, Su Daoshan only saw three brief lists at the end of the Yimen Jianghu Lu.

And at the 21st position on the Earth Character List, I indeed saw the kite doll.

"The kite doll first appeared in the 15th year of the New Era. It is one of the longest-lasting secret weapons. Its known supernatural power is hiding. Anyone bound by her invisible kite string will disappear from the world of the onlookers. All onlookers will have their senses and memories tampered with."

The introduction was very brief, with no pictures or more detailed descriptions. Su Daoshan was not even sure if what he encountered was a kite doll. However, judging from the description of the ability of this secret weapon and Fan Caiyi's reaction, it should be correct.

Su Daoshan closed the book and raised his head. The image of the little girl floating in the air looking at him seemed to reappear in front of him.

The next three days passed at a leisurely pace.

The spiritual world in the sea of ​​consciousness still presented countless chaotic colors, without any shape. However, the earliest colors were like ink smudges, large patches. As time went by, they became more and more detailed, like the interweaving of colorful silk threads.

This made Su Daoshan both excited and speechless. It was just like when he downloaded a video in his previous life, the first 99% went very smoothly, but the last 1% was nowhere in sight.

Every morning, he would practice martial arts without fail. After he passed the level of forging the body and entered the upper level of the eighth grade, Su Daoshan would face the seventh grade and the level of transformation.

There are five levels in martial arts, and each level is a new level of heaven.

Compared to the physical training, the strength training was a completely new field, and the martial arts knowledge in the original body's memory was basically useless. Unfortunately, Su Daoshan couldn't ask others. He could only explore on his own. In the end, he decided to focus on two aspects of training.

The first aspect is the cultivation of internal Qi. If the internal Qi is insufficient, the Qi and blood will be insufficient. If you want to transform strength into power, you can't push it without the endless and surging Qi and blood. Before, the Haoran Zhengqi Jue that I practiced was only at the level of coarse proficiency. If I want to break through to the seventh level, I must at least practice to the level of minor success.

The second aspect is to learn a new martial arts technique.

The martial arts skills practiced at the ninth and eighth levels are mainly used to strengthen the body and strengthen the muscles and bones. They are not fighting martial arts. When it comes to the stage of transforming strength, the warriors are faced with confrontation. Therefore, to learn how to transform strength with force, the most important point is to practice a martial art for fighting.

Su Daoshan chose a martial art called "36 consecutive strikes in the long river".

This set of skills has some history in the Su family. It is said that the great-grandfather Su Qihong obtained it from a distinguished friend in the capital in his early years, and paid a very high price for it.

This set of skills belongs to the superior martial arts. Although it is not a secret skill, it has a characteristic. That is, every move is in line with the essence of Hua Jin. It is extremely beneficial for practicing Hua Jin. Because of this, it is only circulated among a few noble families and is kept secret.

The Su family's acquisition of this set of skills is a great boost to the Su family's foundation.

Now what Su Daoshan needs to do is to master this martial arts technique. As the saying goes, when you practice the fist, the power will come naturally. When the time comes, the Huajin will naturally enter the door.

After boxing in the morning, it was the usual morning and evening visit. The old lady still looked like a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes. Su Daoshan didn't care, he greeted her and took Xixi away. Sometimes when he met the eldest sister Su Wan and the second sister Su Yu, he would stay for a while to chat.

The Su family has a rather strange structure. The old man Su Jingyan has three sons. The eldest son Su Xianwen, the second son Su Xianwu, and the third son Su Xianyi. Because Su Xianwu died in battle, only Su Xianwen and Su Xianyi are left in this generation.

After Su Jingyan retired, he went to Luoxia Mountain to practice in seclusion. He gave the position of acting head of the family to his eldest son Su Xianwen, but handed over all the specific business matters to his eldest granddaughter Su Wan.

Su Xianwen, with the title of the head of the family, only attended banquets and drank wine every day, and greeted and sent off guests. Occasionally, he attended the meetings of the Yishan City family and acted as a nodding Buddha who went with the flow. And Su Xianyi didn't care about anything. He was free and easy every day, either fishing or drinking and listening to opera.

Su Wan is in charge of all the affairs, big and small, financial and business affairs in the castle.

Perhaps due to the current situation, Su Daoshan found that although Su Wan looked calm and composed, she looked much more haggard. She was absent-minded when she spoke, and her beautiful eyes could not hide her fatigue and worry. She spent little time at home and was always in a hurry.

As for the second sister Su Yu, she is heartless.

She was the one who had the most fun these days. She dragged the third child Su Daochun around all day. Su Daoshan saw her several times, either in the wine shop in the market city or in the cavalry of the children of the noble families. There were men and women around her, chatting and laughing, and she looked like a fish in water.

The old monsters from Sujiabao who had been blocking the gate for three days finally gave up. No one mentioned the matter of the ten carts of grain anymore.

Su Daoshan knew with his toes that someone must have used up his savings to make up for the shortfall. As for who it was, judging from the old lady's increasingly gloomy face and her tendency to chase people away without saying a word, the answer was obvious.

Without the threat of the old monsters, Su Daoshan could also walk out of the house and stroll around the castle.

Walking in Sujiabao, Su Daoshan felt a little annoyed. He didn't want to eavesdrop, but the sound kept coming into his ears. So Su Daoshan often sat under a big tree in the central open space or by the big training ground in the east of the fort, holding a book and reading it attentively.

Under the big tree is the gathering place for the most well-informed aunties in Sujiabao. The big training ground is the place where the guards, warriors and militiamen of Sujiabao must go every day.

After just one or two days, Su Daoshan felt that he had transformed himself into a know-it-all in Sujiabao. Whether it was the Zhang family's or the Li family's, there was nothing he didn't know.

He even got information from several different channels, verified each other, and solved some puzzles that even the parties involved could not figure out.

For example, when the mare from Uncle Qiu's family became pregnant for unknown reasons, he knew it was the donkey from Su Xianfu's family in Baoxi who did it.

Uncle Qiu was still wondering how the mare could suddenly get pregnant when she was raised at home. Su Xianfu's family didn't know that their donkey had done this. Only Old Liu, who had borrowed Su Xianfu's donkey some time ago, had visited Uncle Qiu's neighbor on the way.

The donkey was not tied properly at the time. When Lao Liu found out, the donkey had come back again with the gear on its back. Lao Liu didn't think too much about it, just cursed "damn it" and led the donkey away.

Only Su Daoshan can connect these clues.

Of course, in addition to the mare and the donkey, there were others, such as the widow of the east of the fort and a steward, a girl from a certain family and a young guard, and so on.

But sometimes it's not so fun to listen to too much gossip, especially when these guys start to turn the topic to themselves.

"That idiot is reading again."

"Look, look, look, I don't know what you see. The more you look, the more stupid you become. If my kid reads a book in the future, I will give him a slap in the face!"

"That's right. This guy is getting more and more stupid. I read his book for a long time without turning a page."

"..."

So Su Daoshan left cursing.

Every day, he still went to school by bus. The academy became increasingly deserted. After school, Su Daoshan would wander around the market town.

Everyone knew the Su family's silly young master, but no one wanted to greet him, and no one wanted to provoke him, so naturally no one cared about him. Unlike some children from aristocratic families, he was the focus of attention wherever he went, and people would flatter him and greet him.

In a teahouse, he would make a cup of tea and read a book. In a wine shop, he would order a plate of beans and drink two glasses of wine. Although he would occasionally be looked at and pointed at, Su Daoshan still felt relatively free and at ease.

The complex, dense and deep market city represents both order and chaos. When you look at a mountain from different angles, you see different peaks. When you look at the market city from different angles, you will have different perceptions. If you go deeper, it is more like an onion, with layers peeled off.

After all, this is the center of Yishan City. Not only is power and money concentrated here, but it is also the center of the martial arts world and all aspects of life.

Jinfenglou was Su Daoshan's favorite place to go. In the teahouse lobby on the ground floor, one could always hear some interesting whispers. The several private rooms on the third floor were where the major families in Yishan City often met to discuss things that could not be made public.

The weather started to get colder day by day, and the wind and sand became stronger.

The last of the nine major sects in Xiazhou Beijun also arrived in Yishan City a few days ago. The city became more and more lively. Every day, either the major families took turns to host banquets, or a group of young talents called their friends to visit and fly around.

Snow Fairy Fan Caiyi is naturally the focus.

In a remote town like Yishan City, it was rare for ordinary disciples to see Hangu's disciples, let alone the head of the sect. In addition, the girl's dazzling appearance made Fan Caiyi decline most of the invitations on the pretext of recuperating from an injury, but the downstairs of the hostel was still crowded.

Many children of noble families and disciples of sects were willing to wait for a whole day just to meet and talk to Fan Caiyi. Of course, waiting was not just waiting for nothing. A group of people were talking loudly in the hall, and when they were excited, they would compete with each other, which attracted loud cheers from the onlookers.
He was full of vigor and looked contented.

When Su Daoshan was drinking tea at Jinfenglou, he bumped into Fan Caiyi. At that time, she walked in accompanied by Yue Shifeng and others, and her eyes swept across Su Daoshan's face without even stopping.

Su Yu, who was walking together, came over and talked to Su Daoshan for a few words. She boasted that Fan Caiyi and she hit it off right away and the two got along very well. Then she quietly asked Su Daoshan if he secretly admired Fan Caiyi.

In Su Daoshan's ashamed and angry eyes, Su Yu proudly said that the old lady had told him the secret. The source of the words came from the captain of the guard Feng Ting. When he returned to the city, Feng Ting reported to Madam Jiang that Su Daoshan had inquired about Fan Caiyi, and then the news spread.

Su Daoshan didn't expect Feng Ting, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be so gossipy. But he could imagine how the old lady and the old lady whispered and tutted their tongues. And how this line of gossip was passed between the first wife, Madam Qian, the second wife, Madam Liu, as well as Su Wan, Su Yuhe and the maids in the inner house.

Therefore, except Su Daoshan himself, everyone else in the Su family, including Xixi, Pingting, Huamei and even the second-class maid Chunyuan, knew about it.

It's just that everyone kept their mouths shut and treated this matter as a taboo.

Everyone in the family knew Su Daoshan's temper, and no one dared to mention it to his face, or even talk about it behind his back, but Su Yu was not one of them.

From childhood to adulthood, she was the one who could not tolerate Su Daoshan's faults the most. She would hit him and scold him. Whenever she saw him being stubborn or making a fuss, she would twist his ears.

Of course I wasn’t polite this time.

"Second Brother Su, you'd better give up on this idea. She is not from the same world as us. Just think about it and don't be stubborn. It will pass over time. Besides, isn't your grandfather trying to arrange a match for you?" Su Yu was stabbed through the heart and ran upstairs giggling.

On the fourth day, news came that Hangu Elder Xie Xunbai had led his team to the vicinity of Yishan City.

The even more sensational news was that the elder of the Hangu Demon-Slaying Hall, who had come specially to meet Fan Caiyi, did not go straight to Yishan City as the first thing he did when he arrived in Beijun, but to clear out the refugee settlements along the way.

It was said that Xie Xunbai led a dozen Hangu disciples and killed corpses all over the place. All the demon cultivators and alien species related to the Wanmo Sect were killed. As a result, a settlement of 3,000 people in the south of Yishan City was directly dispersed.

It was also on this night that a carriage drove into Sujiabao.

Feng Ting and several blood-covered Su family guards got out of the car and carried an unconscious middle-aged man down.

"Lock him up!" Feng Ting said harshly.
