Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 11 Liangzhou City

So Yue Peng followed Tiedan all the way north, crossing mountains and rivers, and went straight to Liangzhou City in Dui State.

That’s right, Tiedan was the only one walking in front, and Yue Peng was following far behind.

Just treat this kid as bait, and when you catch monsters, ghosts, wolves, tigers and leopards, you can give him practice, kill monsters to get elixirs, hunt animals to skin them, and practice sword energy.

If any demon or monster really appears, it will not be too late for him to take action.

But the old demon monster is not a fool. Who among those who live in this area doesn't know the power of the Sword Immortal of Yanzi Peak? Is he thinking too much to provoke Beichen and a group of sword demons for no reason?

The wolves, tigers, leopards, birds and beasts in the mountains are mostly mortals, and cannot withstand the slash of the divine sword energy. There is really no need for senior brother to come out to rescue them.

So along the way, Yue Peng just watched Tiedan, the kid, killing wolves, dogs, and leopards. As he killed along the way, he gradually figured out his sword skills.

Well, actually there is no such thing as a sword path. After all, he is just a boy who has just started to practice Qi. He has not had the time to teach anything and does not even know the basic sword skills, let alone the top-notch sword tactics and sword techniques passed down by the Sword Sect.

But Tiedan is indeed talented. I don't know whether it is because he is born with the murderous intention or because of the long-term training, but in any case, Tiedan is indeed not like an ordinary kid who would cry and make a fuss and hesitate just to kill someone.

His hands were exceptionally steady, and his sword was exceptionally accurate; he could stab wherever he pointed, and kill with one strike of the sword without any hesitation. Coupled with the power of Beichen's sword Qi, killing demons and beasts that had not yet formed an elixir was as easy as killing a chicken or a dog, cutting off their hair.

So Yue Peng also knew what to teach him.

"Sword control. You are weak and infirm now, and your essence and blood are insufficient. You can't use the power of the superior sword tactics and swordsmanship, so you should practice sword control."

As Yue Peng spoke, he threw the wooden sword in his hand and made a gesture with his sword. The wooden sword then hovered in the air like a dragonfly, whizzing back and forth, knocking down the leaves on the roadside.

"Come on, try it. Shoot that bird down."

Tiedan looked up at the wooden sword flying as light as a swallow, then looked at the heavy iron sword in his hand.

Yue Peng grinned,

"The weight is not a problem. I am using a wooden sword because I am refining the Purple Cloud Sword Qi. I see that your Divine Sword Qi has been refined to perfection and you should be able to control the sword. Just wrap the sword Qi around the metal and it will be fine."

Tiedan nodded, held the sword horizontally, made a sword gesture, and swiped the blade with his index and middle fingers, silently reciting the formula taught by his senior brother.

"Nine Heavens Qianjin, spread out divine weapons, all evils are frightened away, the most supreme and fierce, the mighty sword god king, slays evil and eliminates all traces, purple air rides on the sky, red clouds surge, the supreme, the most supreme, the most mysterious, the ancestor of the mystery, the supreme and infinite Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman Ruyi Sword! Hurry!"

"Zhi!"

He raised his hand and the sword flew out of its sheath, turning into a streak of golden light that streaked across the sky, piercing through the skylarks perched on the branches and, in the process, cutting the rows of trees that were as tall as a man's arms and planted beside the path in half.

Yue Peng nodded.
"Good! You are indeed a sword type! Hmm? Why are you lying down again? Get up."

Tiedan collapsed on the ground.

"No more Qi."

Yue Peng was stunned and quickly checked Tiedan's pulse, but was also speechless.

Well, Tiedan’s aptitude and understanding in the way of swordsmanship are indeed extremely high. Although he is in the Qi Refining Stage, he can already use secret swords that even those Foundation Establishment cultivators may not master.

But after all, he was too young, his realm was too low, and his body was too weak, so he could only hold a breath of Qi in his lungs.

If it is a close combat, it would be fine if you can stab out and absorb it back in time and use it repeatedly. But if you can't grasp the degree, and just use it to control the sword, and can't take it back after spurting it out, then naturally your energy will be exhausted, your limbs will be weak, your hands and feet will become soft, and you will collapse into mud.

"You are weak, and your energy is insufficient. It is really too much for you to fly the sword now. Oh, by the way, I also put talismans on the iron sword, so it can be considered a magic weapon. It is normal that you find it difficult to control it since you haven't established your foundation yet..."

Tiedan just stared at him.

Yue Peng scratched his head, took out a hundred bucks and stuffed it into his arms.
"Okay, okay, I've never taught a disciple before, and I thought you were born with a sword talent, really that special. It seems like that's all you can do. You can't even use a breath of Qi. So you should start with the simple ones.

These Shengang coins are precious coins cast by the Demon Palace, rich in Shengang gold energy. You can absorb Shengang gold energy to practice at ordinary times, or you can practice sword control and coin control, and the consumption will not be so great. "

Who just said that weight doesn’t matter?
Yue Peng stood up, hugging his wooden sword.

"This place is not far from Liangzhou City. You can just follow the highway into the city. It is best to find the natural treasures by yourself. Even if you can't find them, it is good to gain some experience.

Of course, something like gold essence is priceless and you definitely can’t find it in ordinary people’s homes. You have to go to the homes of wealthy families to pick it up, so this level is your experience. Try to see if you can sneak into someone’s mansion.

Don't worry, I will go ahead and scout the place and protect you in secret."

His voice gradually faded away, and when he finished speaking, the figure was no longer visible.

Tiedan was helpless, so he collapsed on the ground to regulate his breathing and recover his Qi. It took him a while to get up, and he walked a long way to find the iron sword that flew out and stuck in the ground, and pulled it out. He staggered along the road to the north, and when he finally saw the city wall of Liangzhou Prefecture, it was getting dark and the city gate was about to close. Tiedan hurriedly followed the crowd to the door, but when he saw the door, he was stopped by the guards.

"It's closed, it's closed!"

"How come it's early? Sir, it's not even the evening hour yet. Could you please be so kind as to let me take this load of goods in? The restaurant is still waiting for it..."

The peddler who had just lined up at the door became anxious and hurriedly went to pull the military school nearby.

"roll!"

The officer on duty also had a bad temper. He kicked the peddler to the ground, swung his ring-handled sword, and hit the peddler in the face with the sword ring. With two clangs, the peddler's head was broken and bleeding. He held his head and cried bitterly. The fresh persimmons on his pole rolled to the ground and were trampled into a ball of mud.

"You cunning slave! Anyone who breaks in will be killed!"

Seeing him stepping on the peddler's back and drawing his sword to strike him, the guards beside him hurriedly smiled and stopped him.
"General, calm down, why bother with these unruly people? We still have to close the door and go to Captain Hu's wedding to congratulate him on his promotion. It's not good to see blood now."

"Hmph! A sycophantic villain! A eunuch who bought an official position! Throw you into the dungeon, and I'll deal with you another day!"

"Sir, please spare my life. I have an eighty-year-old mother at home!"

The officer suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, swung the ring-handled knife twice, breaking the peddler's finger bones and causing him to scream in pain.

"It's all over, it's all over. We're closed today!"

The guards simply wielded their five-colored sticks to drive the people away, while carrying the crying peddler away. The passers-by around were so frightened that they had to consider themselves unlucky and turned around to leave.

Tiedan, who was mixed in the crowd, looked at this scene, then looked at the persimmons that had rolled to his feet. He bent down to pick one up, wiped it on his green robe, took a bite, reached out from his arms and took out a Shengang coin, and flicked it with his finger.

The moment the military officer turned around, a flash of golden light passed by his head and disappeared into the wall.

Before the military officer could take a closer look, he felt a sharp pain in his throat, frowned, raised his hand and wiped it.
"What the hell..."

When he looked down, he saw his hands were covered in blood. Then a red line appeared on his throat and a fountain of hot blood gushed out. His carotid artery was severed.

"Cough! Cough! Crack, crack, crack!"

"General! General! What happened to you, General!" "My lord, you bit your tongue!" "There's an assassin! There's an assassin!" "Oh my god! The amount of bleeding is so huge!"

The people around saw the blood spurting from afar and thought that the soldiers were killing people indiscriminately, so they immediately panicked and fled in all directions. The guards were also shocked and didn't care about the peddler. They immediately surrounded the soldier and helped him stop the bleeding, and drove him to the city in a panic to find a doctor.

It's a pity that I didn't chop off the beast's head. After all, my Qi power was not enough, and the divine power money was not sharp enough.

So Tiedan took advantage of the chaos at the city gate, took cover from the panicked crowd, gathered his Qi, and rushed into the city.

Although he had never been to Liangzhou City, the places under the rule of the Demon Palace were generally similar. The nobles were the kings and the common people were the land. The hierarchy was strict and remained unchanged for generations.

The top aristocratic families live in separate blocks in the capital city. They have soldiers patrolling during the day, and the city gates are closed at night. They are protected by high walls and large courtyards, so they feel safe.

The landlords and tyrants in the prefectures and counties also built their own forts, dug trenches, and set up camps. The local tyrants obeyed orders like the army and hid people as their private labor and soldiers.

The lowest class of untouchables lived in villages and towns outside the city. They would go into the city during the day to do odd jobs for the rich, and were driven out of the city at night under curfew. It was not surprising that they would be taken away by wolves, tigers and leopards, kidnapped by bandits, or skinned by demons and monsters at any time during the night.

Human life is as cheap as a dog's. In this world, there is actually not much difference between being a human or a dog.

After walking into the city while chewing persimmons and strolling around twice, Tiedan soon found the largest household in the city, with two white marble pillars standing at the door.

Shi family of Liang County.

If what my senior brother said is true, if one wants to "pick up" natural treasures such as gold and iron, one can only do so from the secret collections of such powerful families.

Hmm? What is a valve? Oh, it's the two pillars at the gate.

On the left is called "Fan", which records merits and achievements; on the right is called "Yue", which records official career.

For example, it is recorded on this pillar that the ancestor of the Shi family was a personal general under the command of the Immortal Lord. He expeditioned to the Western Regions for the Demon Palace and opened up a thousand miles of new land for the Dui Kingdom. He was awarded the title of First-Rank Pillar of the State for his military exploits. Later, the family also produced important generals such as Zhengxi Zhenxi, and governors and prefects of various states and prefectures. Although the current head of the Shi family does not practice martial arts and only has the Golden Elixir realm infused by external alchemy, he is also the commander of the Liangzhou Duwei of the Demon Palace, with a salary of more than 2,000 stones, and is the chief military officer of a state, and one of the most powerful families in the Western Kingdom.

Well, so there is no need to ask too much about some things. Just look at the pillars that people put at the door, and you will know which family you can afford to offend and which you cannot afford to offend.

What? How does Tiedan know these things?
Haha, less than a year ago, he was tied to a pillar like this to guard the gate.

Thanks to my two senior brothers, they wiped out the entire family and released him. Otherwise, he would have been a dog for the rest of his life...
