Chapter 27, Picking the Stars
The sky boat slowly flew towards Shendu. The ground outside the window was getting farther and farther away, and the things on the ground were getting smaller and smaller, just like when I was riding a spaceship in my previous life.
It’s just that the spacecraft takes off faster and more stable than this, and... Generally speaking, people go directly to the VR entertainment room after boarding the spacecraft and don’t pay attention to the scenery outside at all.
It’s not about flying from Earth to Mars, a mere ultra-short voyage, what can I care about?
What's more, Pan Long can fly by himself now, and he is very familiar with things like "going to heaven".
He no longer paid attention to the situation outside the window, but instead talked to Cang Yuan about martial arts.
Although his martial arts skills are much higher than Cangyuan, as the saying goes, "Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade." Cangyuan has practiced his own martial arts, and has reached the end of his innate nature, almost returning to the natural world. His martial arts experience and Pan Long's own are quite consistent with each other, which sounds like some inspiration.
Cangyuan's martial arts is called "Fengshuangquan", and its origin is quite famous. Perhaps at the end of the Warring States Period, a female swordsman once lamented the sadness of life and the indifference of the world, and the poem "Sixty years of life, covered in wind and frost." Later, she became a real person, lived to the Daxia Dynasty, and established an organization called "Fengshuang Poetry Society".
The ancestor of the Cang family was the first group of students of the Fengshuang Poetry Society. The ancestor was incredible and transformed the Fengshuang sword into the boxing technique and created Fengshuang Fist.
The Cang family has been repairing and perfecting this set of Fengshuang boxing throughout the years, and evolved it into a complete set of rich and complete martial arts. Theoretically, this set of martial arts is enough to cultivate to the realm of immortality. However, over the years, the most powerful master of the Cang family has only been the great master of the unity of man and nature, and no one has truly cultivated to the realm of immortality. The means of Fengshuang boxing in the realm of immortality is based on pure deduction of theory.
"When I was young, I was full of energy and always moved towards transcending my ancestors and truly perfecting the realm of Fengshuangquan. When I got older, I realized that "Eternal Life" was extremely difficult..." Cang Yuan and Pan Long discussed for a while, and suddenly sighed, saying, "Now I'm plaguing things, I don't know if I have the chance to practice martial arts hard again. Maybe in this life, I can't even go back to the simplicity."
"There is no best in both worlds." Pan Long advised, "and you must practice martial arts and promote reforms, unless you know how to clone your body."
Cang Yuan smiled.
At this moment, the waiter came in and reminded: "Personnel, please note that the sky boat is about to pass through the wind and thunder area."
Cang Yuan hurriedly tied himself with the seat belt on his seat, and signaled Pan Long to do the same.
After both of them were fixed on their seats, he introduced: "The wind and thunder area is part of the Shendu guardian array..."
Before he finished speaking, Tian Zhou shook suddenly. If the fruits and vegetables on the table were not fixed with a cover, they would have fallen all over the ground long ago. Pan Long and Cang Yuan also shook violently and almost fell off their seats.
Pan Long looked out the window, and saw that in a blink of an eye, the dark wind was deep, blocking his vision.
In the black wind, there is even thunder in my ears, and I can also see the flashing of lightning from time to time.
"When Wen Xiang arranged the Shendu formation in the past, he used the right time and place to add a circle of wind and thunder to the Shendu." Cang Yuan said, "The most amazing thing is that from a distance, this circle of wind and thunder does not seem to exist at all. Only in the process of approaching the Shendu can they appear. "The wind and thunder are born on the flat ground" is one of the wonders of the Shendu, and you must see it!"
Pan Long couldn't help but exclaim.
The wind and thunder are actually nothing great, but this kind of method that is silent and thunder that makes wind and thunder work, and cannot be seen from the ground, is really admirable.
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "I have never seen wind and thunder on the ground. Could it be that the God Capital I saw on the ground is different from the real God?"
Cang Yuan nodded with a smile: "What you see on the earth is also the God Capital, but it is just the phantom of the God Capital. If someone attacks the phantom of the God Capital we see on the earth, then it is very likely that the attack will deviate directly and attack outside the God Capital."
Pan Long then understood, but suddenly remembered something and asked: "I heard that during the rebellion of various schools of thought, some time ago, the rebellion party once attacked Shendu, and even the mountain of Shendu was destroyed. How did they do it?"
Cang Yuan shook his head: "I don't understand either. Maybe they have their own means."
He sighed: "In that chaos, the leader was the demon god Yiwu. He was a person who fought with Emperor Taizu Jiazi in the past. These arrangements of the Shendu were probably nothing to him..."
The two sighed for a while, but the sky boat had already flew through the Fenglei area and approached the airport in Shendu.
From a distance, you can see a huge mountain standing upside down. At the bottom of the flattened mountain peak, countless buildings are lined up one after another, including a towering and tall palace, located in the center of the entire city.
The sky boat approached a nearby camp. After a while, it gradually slowed down under the traction of the formation, and finally stopped next to a high platform, which looked quite similar to the way it was when it set off.
Pan Long and Cang Yuan got off the boat, walked a carriage for a while, and then arrived at the Ministry of Justice.
As one of the three provinces and six ministries of the Daxia court, the Ministry of Justice has a high status and a vast official residence. The carriage entered through a side door and stopped in a courtyard. Cang Yuan took Pan Long out of the car and entered the courtyard. He saw several houses in the courtyard and many people were busy.
Cang Yuan had already reported this matter to the Ministry of Justice, and had already sent the news before leaving. He came to go through the procedures at this moment and everything went smoothly.
A moment later, a thick file was delivered to Pan Long.
When Pan Long opened the file, he saw that many things he had traveled through the world were recorded. Not only were the things about "Pan Long" recorded, but even the things about "A Month Hero" were the same.
He couldn't help laughing and said, "I thought this identity was very secretive, but I didn't expect you to know it long ago."
"The Great Xia Fengshang Envoy is everywhere, and there are few things that can be completely hidden from us." The person in charge of contacting him was a handsome bearded middle-aged man. He smiled and said, "Your makeup and concealment skills are not very good. If you investigate the whereabouts of "Pan Long" and "Yiwen Qian Hero" a little, you can basically tell that you are the same person."
Pan Long laughed too.
Although that identity was originally considered a secret, for him now, the enemies formed by the era of "one penny hero" are nothing.
If the hero Yijinqian is just a innate master, even at the peak of his innate, his enemies may take revenge wildly. But now Pan Long is the master of the real person, and he is the youngest genius in the history of Daxia, and he is very likely to achieve immortality in the future.
In front of such a person, his Green Forest enemies only hated why they had to be involved in him, so how could they dare to take revenge!
Although the Green Forest people have heroes who value righteousness and offend their lives, those kind of heroes generally will not provoke Pan Long.
People who do things indiscriminately and value righteousness and ignore life. Such people generally only exist in drama stories. People who ignore morality in reality will naturally not value loyalty. People who pay attention to loyalty will generally have bottom lines even if they do bad things. The so-called "thief has a way" refers to this type of people.
Pan Long read the records in the file in detail, and then signed his own name at the end of each case. There were two records incorrectly, and he also pointed out that it was modified and noted.
After all these things are done, most of the time has passed.
When the file was taken away, Cang Yuan had just said goodbye, the middle-aged man with a beard smiled and said, "Hiss Pan, you have great skills in hidden weapons. I also have some experience in hidden weapons. Are you interested in discussing them?"
Pan Long was slightly stunned, but unexpectedly he met a martial arts fanatic in the Daxia Ministry of Justice.
He asked, "What do you call this friend?"
"After Xia Sun Lang, because he was good at hair extensions, he was given an alias of 'Star Picking Hand' by his friends."
Pan Long narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately understood the other party's identity.
"Star Picking Hand" Sun Lang, a famous divine captain in Daxia, once arrested more than 20 innate masters alone. During that battle, his hidden weapons sprinkled like heavy rain, knocking down all the masters and hundreds of minions, but everyone was only injured and did not die. Except for those who were judged and executed, there was not even one who died under his hands.
The most famous person of this genius is that he is very cautious in his actions. He has been in the industry for nearly a hundred years and has only a handful of prisoners who have died under him.
When his teacher Bi Lingkong introduced the masters of the world to Pan Long, he mentioned this person. At that time, Bi Lingkong praised him as "there are many hidden weapons masters in the world, but if you want to talk about the ability to capture hidden weapons by hitting holes and capture them alive, let alone the immortals. Below the immortals, Sun Lang, the star-picker, is probably the first."
Facing a person who even the teacher praised so much, Pan Long would definitely be a lie to say that he didn't have some desire to try.
"I wonder how Captain Sun is planning to compete?" he asked with interest.
"It's easy to start and then difficult to gradually increase your investment, how about it?" Sun Lang asked.
Pan Long naturally had no objection - if both sides confronted the hidden weapons as soon as they got started, it would be suspected of deliberately bullying people.
After a while, they arrived at a small martial arts training ground.
Sun Lang gave the order, and a waiter brought the hidden weapon that both sides used.
Pan Long naturally used copper coin darts, but it was not "Peace in the World", but ordinary copper coins - they were about the same size and weight anyway.
Sun Lang used a locust stone - a thumb-sized pebbles, which are not completely unified in size, but are just very different.
Pan Long looked at each other's hidden weapons and nodded slightly in his heart.
In terms of hidden weapons, Sun Lang will suffer a little.
A hidden weapon is a meticulous skill, and a slight mistake may be a thousand miles apart. Sun Lang used this kind of locust stone with some differences in specifications to compete with Pan Long's standard copper coins, and he suffered some losses innately.
If the two have the same grades, then Sun Lang is obviously more clever.
"The first round of competition starts with the shooting of fixed targets, how about it?" Sun Lang asked, pointing to some wooden targets not far away.
Pan Long nodded, grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them out one by one. Each copper coins were embedded in the red dot at the center of a target.
With just one sentence, a copper coin has been embedded in each of the more than ten targets from near to far.
These targets are about ten steps closer and one hundred steps away. For ordinary shooters, it is already very difficult to throw a lightly floating copper coin a hundred steps away, let alone hit the target and embed it on it.
But for Pan Long, this is a simple and normal operation.
Cang Yuan applauded repeatedly when he saw it, and Sun Lang couldn't help but lit up.
"This 100-step target is usually used for bows and arrows. Pan Daxia can use a hidden weapon to hit the 100-step target and has such power. He is worthy of being a person who is a monday worth of money!"
He praised, and the locust stones were released one after another. Each locust stone hit the copper coins shot by Pan Long, but they just touched the copper coins and fell to the ground. The copper coins embedded in the target were still the same, without any impact.
Pan Long's eyes twitched and admired this man's skills.
If he just hit the copper coins with a locust stone, he could do it. But those copper coins were embedded in the target, with varying depths. The locust stone hit each copper coins without knocking down any of them, which was beyond his level.
To be honest, he really can't do this.
"I am worthy of being the first person to hit the cave with hidden weapons in Daxia. Pan is ashamed of this exquisite technique!" He said sincerely, "I lost this game."
Sun Lang shook his head: "The hidden weapon does not necessarily have to keep people alive. Pan Daxia is famous for his life for one penny. He only cares about accuracy and strength, and does not consider the mercy of his subordinates. In the world, like me, I will specialize in practicing the weight of hidden weapons, and I will only ensure that the hidden weapon will only be injured and not killed after hitting the enemy. It is unreasonable to rely on this to take advantage of it."
Pan Long couldn't help but smile—this person was open and honest.
"The competition between you and me is only more accurate than strength." Sun Lang said, "The game just now was a draw."
Since he said so himself, if Pan Long is stubborn, he will be pretentious.
So the two started the second competition, this time the mobile target was a mobile target.
Sun Lang asked someone to activate the formation, from near to far, hundreds of targets flew around, the flight trajectory was in chaos, and there was no pattern seen.
"This time, I will take action first, how about it?"
Pan Long nodded with a smile.
So Sun Lang threw out locust stones one by one. After each locust stone hit the bull's eye, the target fell down in response.
All I could hear was the sound of flying stones and the sound of the target falling to the ground. At most, seven or eight breaths were spent. The hundreds of targets had all fallen to the ground, and none of them were missing.
Sun Lang smiled, took a step back, and asked the waiter to open the formation again.
Hundreds of targets flew back.
Pan Long grabbed the copper coins, first threw them out, and directly shot down more than a dozen targets that were closer to them at the same time. Then his hands were flying, and the sound of the copper coins breaking through the air was fierce and fierce. At most, in just one sentence, all the targets had landed on the ground again.
At the speed of shooting down, he was more than a little faster than Sun Lang.
Sun Lang nodded repeatedly and praised: "Sir Pan's copper coins are indeed fast and accurate. I threw the locust stone but I really couldn't do it so quickly. I lost this game."
Pan Long shook his head like he had just said: "We are comparing accuracy, not faster and slower. This game is also a draw."
He said and smiled slightly, feeling that it was not until now that he could win back the championship.
Chapter completed!
