Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 24 True Skill

-

The bone whistle, which ordinary people cannot hear, swept across the river and reached the ears of the birds on the bow of the ghost market treasure ship.

Not knowing where he was, he didn't act rashly.

Qi Xiu, who had been waiting for three days, looked at the ghost market treasure ship and slowly looked over, feeling a sense of intimacy in his heart.

It's all your fault for being such a jerk.

I almost died trapped in this old forest because of you.

Cursing the dead Peng Chong in his heart, Qi Xiu looked helpless.

In the past three days, he finally realized what it meant to have money but not be able to spend it.

Carrying thousands of taels of silver notes.

In this deserted mountain forest and riverside, I can't spend a penny.

If it hadn't been for a small bush of apple trees unexpectedly growing on the edge of the pine forest, he would have only had half a life left, even if he hadn't starved to death.

Watching the approaching Ghost Market treasure ship, Qi Xiu jumped onto the side of the ship.

I can finally go home.

He walked familiarly along the ship's side passage to the stern.

Open the red door inlaid with copper coins again.

The lively, bustling, weird and noisy ghost market once again appeared in front of Qi Xiu.

Picking a day is worse than hitting the day.

How about going to Happy House today to criticize those fallen girls?

Standing at one end of Ghost Mayor Street, Qi Xiu rubbed his chin and thought quietly.

Okay, you're here, it doesn't matter if you take a look.

The corner of his mouth curled up, and Qi Xiu immediately took up brisk steps and walked in the direction of Happy Hall according to yesterday's route.

"Secrets and Secrets, the best martial arts secrets, covering all internal and external skills, package price, three copies for ten taels of silver, don't miss it if you pass by."

His ears pricked up, Qi Xiu took three steps back and came to the stall where the shouts were deafening.

"Are you keeping this secret book true?"

On the two-square-foot stall, there were seven or eight stacks of secret books scattered here and there. Judging from the damage on the books and the oil stains on them, it was obvious that they had been passed through countless hands.

Picking up a book at random, Qi Xiu flipped through it.

With his current level of calligraphy, it is easy to infer the age of a book from the ink marks.

Good guy, these are all antiques that have been in power for fifty years.

"What you said, can I sell it without keeping it true?

Ten taels of silver and three books, but there is no shop like this after passing this village.

You must know that these are all good secrets. If you master any of them, you will be very good. "

As if he had sensed Qi Xiu's intention to buy it, the stall owner was so eloquent that he wanted to talk about these books as magical books that could ascend to immortality.

"Stop, stop, stop, it's not real skill, it's almost done."

Feeling a little upset by the noise, Qi Xiu waved his hand to the stall owner to take a break.

"That's true. If I had real skills, could I still set up a stall here?" Not angry, the stall owner laughed twice and said no more.

Carefully selecting the martial arts secret books on the stall, Qi Xiu read through them one by one, flipping through them very quickly.

He wasn't looking at the content.

Instead, use Erjing calligraphy to identify the authenticity of the secret book.

The second realm calligraphy brings besides the [武] character.

It also allowed him to feel the author's remaining spirit through his handwriting.

This method may not be [-]% accurate, but it can at least provide some accuracy.

"Huh? That could have been."

As soon as he opened a secret book, Qi Xiu felt a different atmosphere flowing between the lines.

Turn around and look at the cover.

"Drilling holes in the air"

It just so happened that he had Black Sand Palm close to his body and Swallow Flying in his body skills.

This acupuncture method can make up for my lack of mid-range and long-range skills.

Satisfied with this martial arts, Qi Xiu took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the stall owner.

"Want one?

These are rare secrets outside, and many people can only ask for them.

Give me two more copies. I'll give you four copies of ten taels of silver. "

Seeing that Qi Xiu only bought one copy, the stall owner continued to persuade him without giving up.

"No need, martial arts is something you can't chew off more than you can chew."

Qi Xiu waved his hand and stood up to leave.

In fact, if he had seen so many martial arts secrets in front of him two months ago, he would have spent money to buy them all.

But after these two months of practicing martial arts, he also gained some insights.

The world is not a game.

Martial arts secret books are not skill books either.

You can’t just buy it and slap it on the forehead to understand it.

Even if he is proficient, he still has to practice every move, but he will take less detours than ordinary people.

Therefore, the appeal of these martial arts secrets in his eyes is no longer as good as before.

Unless it's real power...

"Oh, by the way, could you please ask, is there anyone selling true power secrets in the ghost market?"

After taking just two steps, Qi Xiu turned back and knelt down to ask the stall owner.

"no!"

<divclass="contentadv">Encountering a tough guy, the stall owner replied angrily.

"Really?"

Qi Xiu was a little unwilling to give up.

"You can't even afford it."

"It's true! How much is it? I still have some savings." Qi Xiu smiled confidently.

Rolling his eyes, the stall owner slowly stretched out five fingers.

"Five thousand taels? Not much."

With a huge sum of ten thousand taels in his pocket, Qi Xiu said this calmly.

"Bah! What a great idea, fifty thousand!

And it’s still priceless. "

"fifty thousand?"

Although Rao had already prepared Qi Xiu, he was still shocked by the price.

What is the concept of fifty thousand taels of silver?

That's almost ten years of tax revenue from Baohe County, which is just enough to buy a book of true skills.

“Things like true power are not accessible to ordinary people.

Even if there is, you may not have the conditions to practice.

So I said, it’s better to buy more of my secret books and go back and practice hard. With time, you can achieve great results. "

The two sentences circled back to his secret book, and the stall owner said it earnestly.

However, Qi Xiu had no time to deal with him at this time.

Standing up thoughtfully.

Qi Xiu walked forward slowly, but his mind was filled with thoughts.

True power is far more precious than I thought.

No wonder Qian Yuchuan was so ecstatic when he found out that the animal skin scroll was the true skill of Cold Waterfall.

Fifty thousand taels of silver.

Hey, I can't write out so much money even if my pen breaks.

In this way, I will have something to eat for the remaining part of the Cold Waterfall True Skill in Qian Yuchuan's hand.

But where is this guy now is really a question.

Thinking about the matter in his mind, Qi Xiu temporarily gave up his plan to go to Happy Hall to criticize the fallen girl.

Anyway, the ghost market treasure ship comes every three days, so sooner or later there will be a chance.

Picking up the secret book, he waited until the Ghost Market treasure ship passed near Baohe County, and then he hurriedly got off the ship and returned.

……

The moon is in the sky, and the sea of ​​trees is swaying in the mountains and forests!

"drive!"

"drive!"

"drive!"

The shadows of the trees were swaying, and at the end of the official road in the forest, a dozen black horses were breathing hot breath from their muzzles, running wildly with their hooves, raising billowing dust and smoke, and galloping from a distance.

On horseback, there were more than a dozen men with burly bodies and stern looks. They were wearing short clothes in the cold winter, with sharp eyes and a strong sense of oppression all over their bodies.

"Lao Wu, how far is this place from Baohe County?"

At the top of the crowd, a man with the most domineering appearance, a shaved rat tail and a short beard waved to Qian Yuchuan.

"Reporting to Senior Brother, there are less than fifty miles left and we will arrive before dawn." Qian Yuchuan, who was always arrogant and overbearing, looked respectful at this moment.

"it is good!"

With a slight nod, the man who was respected as the senior brother waved his big hand, and everyone's speed increased a bit again.

In the dark forest, countless strange and infiltrating monsters and poisonous snakes silently watched these burly men galloping on horseback.

And with their gaze.

In Qian's Mansion in Baohe County, Taoist Wu, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof and breathing in the moonlight, slowly opened his eyes.

A ray of cold murderous intention stirred in the vertical pupils.

"Taobaomen! It's really you!"

"Giggle!"

An eerie and strange laughter sounded from the Taoist Priest's mouth, unhurried and impatient, like a poisonous snake dormant and hunting, waiting for its prey to come.

Somewhere.

The two forces converged in this small Baohe County.

By mistake.

A life-and-death game is about to begin.

And this time.

Qi Xiu, the instigator of this situation, hummed a tune and returned home, unaware that a tragic killing was about to happen around him.

He lay prone on the rocking chair and thought about tomorrow's practice plan.
