After half an hour, Xu Yunfan opened his slightly closed eyes, took a step, landed silently, and walked away quickly.
"You carefully hid your presence, quietly lying in wait for your opportunity. The enemy was completely unaware. Your hunting skills have improved."
Glancing at the system prompt floating above his vision, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but smile.
As the morning mist drifted over the dead woods, Xu Yunfan was using grass ash to cover the last bit of ashes.
His ears moved slightly, and he took a big step forward and stood on a small hill in the dead woods. Uncle Jin's caravan had already left the dead woods and was moving slowly along the winding official road. Twelve carriages were looming in the mist.
Only after making sure there were no doubts did Xu Yunfan look away.
After slightly disguising himself and wearing a coarse linen hat prepared in advance, he squeezed into the team entering the city, with the mountain products he had exchanged from the hunters hanging around his waist, and entered Beiye City like an ordinary person.
As soon as he entered the city, Xu Yunfan quickly returned to Qingheju. After making a pot of hodgepodge and eating it, he looked at the pots and pans scattered around.
Maybe we could hire a cook.
Thinking in his mind, he turned and walked out of the kitchen, went to the study, spread out the Tieqiao Town Bone Training Secrets written on the silk scarf in his arms, and studied it carefully.
"You carefully studied the Tieqiaozhenguan Bone Training Chapter, and seemed to have gained something, but after careful consideration, you were still baffled."
"You repeatedly study the Tieqiao Town Pass Bone Training Chapter, feeling like a layer of window paper is about to be pierced, but every time at the critical moment, it is blocked by inexplicable obstacles."
"As you delve deeper into the Tieqiaozhenguan bone training chapter, the Qi and blood in your body seem to be moving slightly differently, but it's hard to grasp the pattern."
After a whole morning, Xu Yunfan felt dizzy. The handwriting on the brocade was obscure and difficult to understand, and there were many key points and metaphors. If he didn't have the attribute panel, he would probably just be able to stare blankly if he wanted to practice.
It was not until noon that Xu Yunfan rubbed his sore eyes.
The words on the silk scarf seemed to come alive, moving before my eyes.
Discussions about "Qi flowing through all the bones" and "bones as hard as iron" may seem simple, but they contain hidden mysteries.
Finally, Xu Yunfan shook his head, and the characters that came to life suddenly calmed down.
Feelings are illusions created by one's own perception.
He couldn't help but gently roll up the brocade in his hand. The silk surface with dark gold patterns shone coldly in the setting sun.
Xu Yunfan gazed at the darkening dusk outside the window, his thoughts surging like tides.
The Qingzhou Tieyi Sect massacre remains an openly unsolved case in the martial arts world. The fragments of the secret manuals fought over by various families are scattered everywhere, but no one has ever heard of anyone truly mastering the sect's unique skills.
Although I heard from the grapevine that the three famous sects in Qingzhou were joining forces, most of them were just hearsay and few people knew the actual situation.
Those fragments of the Tieqiao Town Guangu Liangu story circulating among the people seem more like bait to lure people into the game.
Now that the Tieyi Sect has been destroyed, I'm afraid several factions have related secret manuals. Although I've heard of the Tieyi Sect in the Changfeng Tavern, I've never heard of any of them mastering the martial arts classic of Tieqiao Zhenguan and traveling the world.
Nowadays, if you want to practice martial arts, it is not enough to have martial arts secrets, you also have to deal with a lot of hidden barriers and tricks.
If an ordinary person gets it, without the guidance of an expert and practices blindly, it is easy to make himself disabled.
He simply picked up the Golden Hammer and went to the yard to practice the Red Snake Cloak Hammer.
"clang!!"
The crisp sound of the jar hammer hitting the bluestone floor startled birds from their nests under the eaves. Xu Yunfan's arms were muscular, but the 220-jin jar hammer felt like nothing in his palms.
As the Scarlet Cloak Hammer was launched, the courtyard suddenly began to swirl without wind, and the withered yellow leaves on the ground formed a vortex with the wind from the hammer and the snowflakes.
After mastering the second level of muscle and skin training, he found that his efficiency in improving the proficiency of the Red Copper Body Cloak and Wind Hammer skill had increased significantly. Coupled with the mental toughness brought by the Lin character technique, his mind became clearer and his thinking became more agile, and his reaction became several points faster.
After practicing until he was exhausted, Xu Yunfan put down the golden hammer, covered it with a black cloth, put it on his back and went out, heading straight to the Changfeng Tavern.
As soon as he entered the tavern, a deliberately rough voice sounded in Xu Yunfan's ears.
"Brother Xu, we haven't seen each other for several days. I didn't expect to meet here. Come on, let's go. I have to treat you today."
Hearing the voice, Xu Yunfan turned around and saw Su Shiyu clinging to the wall with half of his face sticking out. His moon-white brocade robe was stained with some dirt and dust, and his hair crown hung crookedly on his temples, making him look like a civet cat that had sneaked out of the house.
Su Shiyu, the son, or rather the daughter, of the Su family in Beiye City.
This person yearns for the martial arts world and is generous and magnanimous. He often disguises himself as a man and entertains martial artists in the Changfeng Tavern. It seems that he has many friends.
In a month, I probably spend half a month getting to know people from the martial arts world. No matter if they are wandering knights or real heroes, I will never refuse anyone and will invite them all in.
I heard that he has a lot of followers in his family.
But according to Xu Yunfan's understanding, most of these gangsters are just for show.
It's rare to have someone like Xu Yunfan who is obviously a master, so Su Shiyu naturally wouldn't miss him.
As for a woman disguised as a man, I'm afraid she is the only one who doesn't know it and thinks it's perfect.
But he is also a wonderful person. He makes friends not for the purpose of making friends, but simply to make friends. Xu Yunfan is very willing to make friends with such a person.
In the elegant room on the second floor of Changfeng Tavern, a gilded crane-beak incense burner emits curls of green smoke.
"This is apricot blossom white wine that has been cellared for twenty years. Brother Xu, you must try it today. I brought it out from the mansion specially. It is most suitable for drinking in winter."
Su Shiyu broke the mud seal and filled the white jade cup with amber wine. When his sleeves slipped down, half of his arm was exposed, which made Xu Yunfan take a quick look.
"Brother Xu, do you know what happened thirty miles west of the city last night?"
She lowered her voice, pretending to be mysterious, with excitement hanging on her face.
Xu Yunfan's hand, which was stroking the rim of the cup, paused slightly, and the amber wine in the white jade cup began to ripple slightly.
He raised his eyes to look at Su Shiyu. The excitement in the other's eyes reminded him of the hammer-swinging fight in the snowy forest last night.
I didn't think much of it at the time, but now when I think about it, I feel that I was extremely brave.
"Thirty miles west of the city?"
He pretended to be casual and took a sip of the wine, the mellow apricot blossom fragrance blooming on the tip of his tongue.
Su Shiyu was completely unaware of his abnormality and moved closer, lowering her voice.
"I heard that some masters clashed in the snowy forest outside the black market in the west of the city last night. Trees within a radius of dozens of feet were broken everywhere. Even a rock taller than a man was smashed into small pieces!"
This is a bit exaggerated.
Although it was true that many trees were broken when the Golden Hammer was swung, all the trees within a radius of several dozen feet were broken...
He is not a professional lumberjack who specializes in catching trees and not letting go.
As for it being broken into small pebbles, it was just a piece of Lying Cow Stone, which was simply smashed into pieces by him.
