Fist of Imagination

The courtyard of the Imperial Medical Office is deep and as quiet as a pool of water. Hidden in the background of the green bamboo forest is a small Sakurajima-style building with an ethereal temperament, like leaves rising and falling in the wind.

Next to the small pond in the courtyard, a "frightened deer" made of bamboo tubes fell and hit the stone slabs. It frightened several birds away with a loud sound. The sound spread far away, making the courtyard more and more quiet.

Dots of velvet-like moss dotted the gravel, and a few blue bamboo leaves floated in the dark stone well.

The transplanted Yae Sakura in the garden has withered, and its dark branches are thin and flavorful. In the soft and moist light and shadow, the wooden structure of the hut shows clear lines.

The paper door of a small tea room is open, facing a quiet courtyard.

On both sides of the sandalwood table, two people were sitting facing each other.

The fragrance of tea lingered, and white mist hung on the pottery bowl, but neither of them had any intention of drinking tea.

The imperial doctor asked Shen Shuwen to squint his eyes, as if trying to find something on the face of the Sakurajima woman wearing a purple grass-patterned kimono opposite him. He had an old face, long white eyebrows, and squinting his eyes made the wrinkles on his cheeks appear particularly deep.

The woman on the other side of the coffee table has slightly sunken eyes and dark pupils. Although she is silent, there always seems to be a hidden smile in the corners of her eyes and lips.

She has beautiful light brown skin on her cheeks and neck, but her hands are very pale. On the coffee table in front of her, there is a two-foot-long tachi leaning on the sheath, with two bells tied to the handle and a hexagonal guard. The shape of the hand is simple, but just looking at the cool arc through the scabbard, you can tell that it was made by a master craftsman.

Shen Shuwen raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Three years ago, you were going to return to Sakurajima by boat. I used a pillar of incense to restrain you, and I ordered the Imperial Medical Office's curse master to place a seductive restraint on you, allowing you to come here for three years. Can't take a step away.

Gao Xianglizi, you can blame me. "

"I had no good intentions when I came to study in your country. I learned too many things that I shouldn't have learned. I am just to blame for my current outcome.

Shen Lingcheng and his subordinates each have their own masters. If my subordinates are not as good as others, why should they complain? "

Gao Xianglizi picked up the pottery bowl and took a sip of tea. Her words were clear but slow and jerky, and her tongue seemed extremely stiff.

“You are quite magnanimous.

There is something I want you to do now. If it happens..."

"Shen Lingcheng wants to kill me."

Before Shen Shu could finish his question, he was interrupted by Gao Xianglizi.

Gao Xianglizi suddenly pulled out the sword, lowered his head and slowly wiped the blade like a mirror with Yoshino paper. Cold light flowed like water in the elegant tea room.

"Haha, I'm old and can't contain my murderous aura... I'm sorry."

Shen Shuwen put away the murderous intent he used to test, picked up the tea bowl and drank it calmly.

If you can't even notice this, how can this person deserve to be put under house arrest for three years under your nose?

Gao Xianglizi's knife is as sharp as ever, and with the sheath in his hand, it is ready for use.

Everyone has their own weaknesses, and swordsmen like Takamura Riko are no exception.

He happened to know Takamura Riko's fatal weakness, and Takamura Riko also knew this.

"Since Shen Lingcheng is here, he must have prepared bait for me."

"Yes, I have already made an agreement with Hongluji Temple. As long as you go to the Western Regions and complete one thing for me, Hongluji Temple will let him go and send him back to Sakurajima.

It's just... you will die if he is gone. "

"Very good."

Gao Xianglizi nodded in agreement without hesitation and said:

"When will we leave?"

When Shen Shuwen heard her decisive answer, he sighed as if with regret and said:

"Your swordsmanship is mysterious and unpredictable, and it's hard to find any flaws.

But you are too sentimental and full of loopholes.

If not, I wouldn't have been able to control you back then. "

"Is Shen Lingcheng trying to persuade me?"

"If Gao Xianglizi can be persuaded, I don't need to come here."

Shen Shuwen's eyes were burning, and he leaned forward to stare into the eyes of Gao Xianglizi.

"Hahaha... Shen Lingcheng is worthy of being one of the most knowledgeable people in the Gongsun Tang Kingdom. I admire him."

Gao Xianglizi laughed loudly, and his eyes quietly stopped on the withered Yaezakura outside the paper door.

The two of them continued to drink tea and talk about nothing, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

The old imperial doctor left behind a seal, a map and a few names when he left. In the shadow of the tea room, Gao, who was wiping his beloved knife, nodded and agreed to something.

Early the next morning, the sound of squeaking clogs and the ringing of bells echoed on the bluestone road outside the gate of the Imperial Medical Office. The Sakurajima woman who missed her hometown walked out of this gate for the first time in three years, and her steps were still a little uncomfortable.

The bell tied to the handle of the knife beside her swayed slightly, and a trace of quiet joy fluttered in the wind.

An hour later, Gao Xianglizi confirmed the seal at the inn and embarked on his final journey.

"Exit Yumen Pass...and go further west."

Gao bowed to Lizi and looked at the sheepskin map and knife, leaning down in silence.

…

Hundreds of miles west of Yumen Pass, on a small oasis in the Gobi Desert, behind a few low houses made of earth and stone.

Liang De hid silently in the pig pen, while the martial arts spirit stretched out a few gray-black tentacles and groped for the keyhole of the copper box that He Laiqi had thrown into the pig pen.

During the day, he secretly left a channel of natural divine power for slow-release healing for the general who stabbed him. He followed the remnants of the defeated army and eavesdropped all the way. He wandered around for hundreds of kilometers to inquire about Xiao Hanye and the others. Copper Box had a basic understanding with the pig-raising master named He Laiqi.

Mr. Liang’s policy is simple and clear:

The real protagonist will never lose, and even if he loses, he won't lose in a miserable way.

So when Xiao Hanye lost to the white-clothed teenager Lin Dan, he followed Lin Dan. When Lin Dan and the black-clothed teenager lost to He Laiqi, he followed He Laiqi. This is called Liang De choosing a tree to live in.

Sony Ericsson radar shows the approximate range of the upcoming love affair. He followed the strongest person in this range, He Laiqi, and guarded the key prop copper box, and basically would not miss the key events.

Basically... If you miss it, you can find it on another planet. Anyway, let's take a look at what is in this copper box first.

The intelligence collected during the day said that this copper box contains a heaven-fallen object that only appears once every hundreds of years, called a hundred-year-old pearl.

"The hundred-year-old pearl must be in the nine-layer abyss and under the chin of the black dragon. If you take it, you will live for 200 years."

The king of Kucha, who is most likely suffering from Alzheimer's disease, is addicted to paying tribute. Every year, he collects some strange things in the country and packs them up to present to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The envoys regard the old king as a joke in their hearts and don't care when checking the tribute.

If they hadn't captured the robber alive, they wouldn't have known that there was a hundred-year-old pearl in the pile of rubbish, a rare treasure recorded in ancient books and legends. The evidence was the unique pattern on the copper box and the strange phenomenon that insects and ants couldn't get close to it.

The officials were not as educated as the thieves. This delegation was too lame.

Liang De carefully used the gray-black tentacles as thick as silk threads to explore the contents of the copper box, ready to break the line and escape at any time.

The experience of being imprisoned in the six roots and six dust formations was a profound lesson in martial arts improvement for him.

Jieyuan Walker is the freest creature on both sides of the sky and the sea?

Freedom is a hammer!

Spreading such irresponsible lies, as if someone regularly conducts a comprehensive investigation on the personal safety of Jieyuan Walker, I don't believe it anymore!

We still have to stick to martial arts ethics and sail a thousand years with our hearts.

Liang De's soul tentacles rubbed the spherical object in the copper box a few times and found several cracks on the sphere that were invisible to the naked eye.

He infiltrated the "Hundred-Year-Old Pearl" through the gap with his warrior's spiritual sense. Not long after, the pearl glowed. The moment the glow glowed, Liang De's warrior's spiritual sense captured a piece of information.

"Military Ingestion Cell Conditioner Type II..."

Isn't it a natural treasure of this planet?

Liang De's entire martial arts soul entered the copper box, pushed the non-existent glasses, and swiped it up with an appraisal.
