Liu Chengwu waited for the Little Dragon King to sit down, then stretched out his hand to call the last martial artist to come on.

This martial artist has blond hair, round blue eyes, an eagle nose and a wide mouth. He is tall, but he is a Hu man.

Ever since the Sima family traveled south, the Five Hooligans had invaded China, and barbarians were not uncommon in the north of the Yangtze River, but Qingyun found them strange, and Hu Caiting had to give them some lectures.

The Hu man had a rich voice and spoke standard Chinese. He clasped his fists and announced his family name, but he was an old man. He said, "The Xia people are prospering again. I was lucky enough to find the ancient martial arts remnant "Ice Palm" in the Western Regions. I practiced on my own.

, I have achieved a little success, and I would like to have the honor to discuss it with the young prince."

Monk Yuan Fa made a sound and turned to Liu Chengwu, "Young Master is well-informed, so you know what kind of martial arts this Ice Palm is."

The latter smiled wryly and shook his head, "This is the first time I have heard of it. However, since the battle between Yanhuang and Chiyou, unofficial historians have said that there are countless mysterious magic techniques, and many of them have been lost and reclusive. There are also some superb techniques among them.

.Since this person can pass the initial screening test at Snake Killer Villa, he should indeed have some abilities."

Monk Yuanfa smiled and said, "That's alright, let's see it before we talk. Warriors please."

Ji Zaixing ordered someone to bring up a wooden table, with a wooden basin filled with water on the table.

There is another copper cup filled with water in the center of the tub.

I saw him piercing flowers with his palms and performing a set of kick-ups. Although the routine was complicated, it was not a top-notch martial arts.

However, veins popped up on his forehead, beads of sweat as big as soybeans separated, and a few wisps of smoke rose from the back of his head.

"Wow, what kind of kung fu is this?" Qingyun couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It should be a kind of advanced inner martial arts. It seems that the masters of the Taoist sect who practice inner elixir may have similar cultivation." Hu Caiting was not sure, and looked at Zu Xunzhi aside. He was from the Taoist sect.

Direct descendant.

Zu Xunzhi frowned, shook his head, and poked his nose, as if he wanted to sniff out some clues.

I don’t know if it’s because I have some enlightenment or because I haven’t figured it out yet. I just muttered in a low voice, “No, no…”

Hucaiting wanted to ask more questions, but saw that Ji Zaixing had already dipped his hands into the basin.

She was afraid that she would miss something, so she hurriedly looked around.

The sleeves of the Hu people are wide and not often taken care of. When the hands touch the water, they become muddy.

Although Qingyun and the other two people were sitting high up and overlooking each other, they still felt a sense of greasiness in their hearts.

The onlookers around didn't know what kind of medicine this man was selling in his gourd, and they all held their breaths and looked up at him.

Zu Xunzhi took out a small tube from his arms, closed his eyes and peered into the field.

Hu Caiting saw it and said happily, "This is a pocket-sized jade scale. Lend it to me." He reached out to grab it, but was blocked and silenced.

After a moment, someone with sharp eyes shouted out, "Look at that copper cup, it's frozen! The water in the cup is starting to freeze!"

When everyone looked at it, they saw that the water in the copper cup had formed a thin layer of ice.

It is early autumn, and the land of Huainan is still full of green willows and red flowers, and the sun is shining brightly.

But the water in the cup actually slowly condensed under the spotlight.

Not to mention martial arts, even those legendary Taoist hermits who practiced inner alchemy have never heard of being able to have such magical powers.

Could it be that this person really knows some secret method?

The young prince felt strange and went out to poke the ice personally.

The thin layer of ice shell broke easily.

He put his wet fingers on his cheeks again, and a chill penetrated his skin. It was indeed ice!

The young prince saw that the ice seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, and he couldn't help shouting, "It's amazing, it's amazing, this skill is really rare. If this cold air can be integrated into the palm wind, it will be even more domineering than my big handprint!"

He turned towards Yuan Yu and Liu Chengwu, and the three of them started talking quietly.

When the barbarian saw that the prince was satisfied, he took back his hands, wiped them dry on his body, and waited aside.

Zu Xunzhi saw from a distance that the three people on the referee's bench were nodding frequently, as if they were about to make a decision, and suddenly whispered to Qinghu and Qinghu, "Are you afraid of trouble?"

The three of them looked at each other with youthful and fearless smiles, and put their heads together.

Ji Zaixing was stroking his beard and smiling, but suddenly he felt a deep chill rising behind his back.

The feeling was like being locked by a poisonous snake hiding in the dark while collecting medicine in the forest.

Hu people like Ji Zaixing have struggled in the coldest and harshest environment in the world since childhood, and have a very keen sense of the sudden dangers around them.

He didn't look back because he didn't have time to look back. The three sword lights were as fast as thunder. They were coming down from a high position and they struck with pincers. They were sure to win with ease.

The three of them were obviously good players, and taking advantage of the momentum of the dive, their speed was extremely fast.

No one expected that someone would dare to cause trouble on the grounds of Snake Killing Villa. Ji Zaixing did not expect that the sword slaves present would also be distracted by the strange skills in the field. After being slightly relaxed, they had no time to do it in the first place.

react.

It was too late for Ji Zaixing to look back, let alone not be able to turn back, and even the movement he could make to the left and right could not avoid the sword wind that was surrounding him, so he had only one choice left, and he started to charge forward.

Before his legs exerted force, he shook his arms to shake off his robe, and he then used the force of the shake to drive his legs and lunge forward.

The Hu robe was immediately smashed to pieces by three sword energies, and suddenly there was a huge smoke.

The sword slaves hurriedly gathered together to protect several princes and princes.

Qingyun shouted loudly, "Don't run away from that liar!" However, he was trapped by the white smoke, his eyes were filled with tears and he could not see anything, so he had to temporarily take a few steps back.

When the thick smoke dissipated a little, the three of them were surrounded by sword slaves. The young village master asked with a cold face, "What is going on?"

Zu Xunzhi sheathed his sword and cupped his fists, gave a deep salute, and replied calmly, "Young master, two princes. This man is a liar. We don't want you to be deceived by him, so we take action to expose him.

This smoke was caused by the spontaneous combustion of the white phosphorus hidden in his collar. He used his fists and feet as bait to shake the white phosphorus into the armor of the metal back and let it spontaneously ignite, releasing smoke, making it appear as if he was performing some advanced Qigong."

While Zu Xunzhi was explaining, he searched out the bamboo tubes and back armor from the broken robes, shook out a few milky white particles from them, poured them into the gaps in the armor, held them with his hands, and soon a stream of milky white particles came out.

An invisible white firework emitted smoke. "The nail plate carries body temperature, which will cause the white phosphorus to burn. After burning, it will also increase the temperature of the nail plate, so the Hu people will have sweat on their foreheads."

The Little Dragon King interjected, "How can we explain that the glass of water is frozen?"

Zu Xunzhi smiled slightly, picked up two pieces of sleeves, took out two oilcloth bags from inside, and walked towards the table with the water basin.

He picked up a cloth bag and dumped it, some white gravel fell into the water, and stirred it a few times with his hands.

I saw white gravel gradually dissolving, and the water in the cup was sealed with ice. "This substance is called saltpeter. When dissolved in water, it can absorb heat and turn into ice. Both saltpeter and white phosphorus are highly toxic and are usually not used together."

It is rare, but it is a commonly used material in the alchemy family, and my master, Mr. Huayang, often mentions it. Therefore, I was lucky enough to find out."

Mr. Huayang is the head of the Taoist sect, and his name is resounding.

Chaos, one of the four villains, took the lead early. It seemed like he was pushing forward, but in fact he was trying to prevent others from taking sudden action against these three juniors with extraordinary backgrounds.

The rest of the people were more than a little stunned, but at this time, they had no intention of taking action.

It was the Little Dragon King himself who broke the deadlock first, poked the new layer of ice with his hand, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that he is indeed fooled. However, this person can dodge the combined swords of three people, but his skills are also good, so why still

Do you want to be so mysterious?"

The young master of the village nodded and continued, "If this person does not have real materials, he will not be able to pass the preliminary examination of the village. However, such deliberate cheating shows that he is determined to get close to the young prince, and I am afraid he has other motives."

"Hmph!" The little dragon king casually smashed a mahogany chair, his eyes bloodshot, "I don't care what his intentions are! Since he has fooled me and messed up my big business, I can dig up to the edge of the sky and dig three feet into the ground.

Find him and cut him into pieces!"

Yuan Yu frowned slightly and asked, "How does the Little Dragon King want to resolve the matter of choosing a master?"

The Little Dragon King jumped and turned around, pointing angrily at Liu Chengwu, "Of course I want to ask for an explanation from the Snake-Zhan Villa! You are presiding over this teacher selection meeting, and the person was let in after your initial test. Of course, I want to give you an explanation!

"

Liu Chengwu was speechless for a moment.

He was not afraid of the Little Dragon King, but the other party's accusations were true. He could not escape the blame, so he could only bow down and apologize, "What the Little Dragon King said is true. Since he was derelict in his duty, he must choose another day to be a hero."

Tie Guang invites heroes to reopen the conference and give the Little Dragon King an explanation!"

The Little Dragon King said angrily, "You said you should just choose a day? It's like this today, how can you know how to choose a day? I need to ask for an explanation today!"

Yuan Yu couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "Young Master has tried his best to prepare for this, but he didn't expect that there was a traitor at work. To be so aggressive is against the imperial etiquette."

"Tuoba Yu, don't use your royal status to suppress me. You won't be able to listen to everything I say today."

He ignored Yuan Yu's embarrassment and turned to Liu Chengwu with wide eyes, "Young Master, do you owe me an explanation today? Can I make a bold request?"

The young master of the village hurriedly clasped his fists and responded, "That's right, that's right. Today, the village is negligent. If the young prince has an order, it doesn't matter. If the Snake Villa is within its power, I won't dare to neglect it."

The surname Ji is one of the surnames of the Da Yueshi tribe. It is the surname of the nobles of the Kushan Empire.

The Dayeshi were originally one of the Chinese nomadic tribes in the Longxi region.

Bactria was an ancient country in Central Asia. It was inclined to Greek culture due to Alexander's conquests. It was eventually destroyed by the Yuezhi when they moved westward.

In ancient times, a tribe called Daxia also appeared in the Hexi Corridor area of ​​China. "Bamboo Book Annals" once mentioned that Kongtong was the leader of twelve tribes including Daxia.

There is no direct record in the history books as to whether there is any connection or origin between these two Daxia and the Xia Dynasty of China. There is indeed some indirect relationship, the details of which will be revealed in subsequent works of this series. Because there are many things that need to be established.

Issues in historical perspective cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

As mentioned in the previous section when we introduced the name of the country, there were certain rules for naming names in the Han Dynasty. If it is not a transliteration, then its meaning must be used. For example, Rome is called Da Qin, which means Northern Shuo, Southern Chu, and Western Qin. And the original pronunciation of the country Daxia
