Chapter 125: Seven Killings
night.
Mirror Lake Villa.
Xiao Kui stood on the stone table in the pavilion, looking serious, with his head held high and chest puffed out. In front of him stood the three birds, each holding a copy of "Three Character Classic" in their hands. No, they were holding a copy in the claws of the birds, and were reciting them with great enthusiasm.
Xiao Kui can speak, but the other three cannot. However, the intelligence of the spiritual birds has reached the standard of normal people.
Some species are particularly intelligent, or even geniuses, such as Xiaokui. Although the parrot's fighting ability is not good, its IQ is at the top echelon among the exotic animals. For them, it is not difficult to read fonts and understand pronunciations.
“When a person is born, his nature is good.”
"Quack quack, quack quack."
"Natures are similar, but habits make them different."
"Quack quack, quack quack."
"..."
Not far away by the Mirror Lake, Zhao Wumian, Bai Liuli, and Shen Weiyang were all watching with great interest, the more they watched, the weirder it seemed to them.
Bai Liuli almost laughed out loud when she saw Xiao Kui shaking her head like a teacher in a private school. Shen Weiyang looked at her for a while and had a strange expression on his face:
"Is this okay?"
"Row."
Zhao Wumian vowed: "Don't underestimate the exotic beasts. Xiaokui is an example. It has been in my house for 20 years. It has learned a lot of words and characters without being taught. The exotic beasts just don't have the opportunity and conditions to learn. Once they have the opportunity, they will not be much worse than children."
"..."
Shen Weiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was nothing she could do. Since he wanted to teach her that way, then she would just teach him that way.
I thought he was just teaching place names and intelligence gathering, but I didn't expect him to teach so thoroughly...
But it's better this way. Once they have learned it, they don't have to worry about the rest. Birds have their own language, and animals have their own language. These birds can teach each other, just like veterans leading new recruits in the army. After teaching layer by layer, they can fight on their own.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Shen Weiyang didn't argue with him and took out a set of transparent tea sets from her Qiankun bag - they were made of glass, crystal clear and very beautiful.
"This is the first batch of finished products. Shen Quan and his craftsmen made it."
Shen Weiyang looked at the glass tea set and said, "I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. I think the adults will definitely want to buy it. But, how should we price it?"
"Things that are rare are valuable."
Zhao Wumian said, "Don't rush to show it off. Make a batch of the best quality and most transparent ones and sell them as Ru kiln. You can put them in the store to attract customers. There will definitely be people who will take advantage of them. Then, make the second-rate glass products, such as windows, fish tanks, utensils, screens, and then other colored glass and artworks. Bring them out one by one and make money from them. It would be a waste if you don't make money!"
"Haha, you look more like a businessman than I do."
Shen Weiyang couldn't help but laugh: "Is it the same with soap and perfume?"
Zhao Wumian said, "Soap is not necessary, but perfume is fine. Different scents, different flowers, wild flowers, famous species, or even natural treasures, just like glass. Sell them layer by layer, and they will be more valuable than glass."
Shen Weiyang nodded. She knew very well how attractive perfume was to women.
Zhao Wumian asked, "How's the loom?"
Shen Weiyang said: "Two hundred new looms have been put into operation. The speed is indeed very fast. However, the raw materials cannot keep up. The silk and cotton produced each year are limited. We can only do this slowly..."
"Ah."
Zhao Wumian was not surprised: "Just set up the stall and wait for the harvest..."
Suddenly, Zhao Wumian noticed something and turned his head to stare at Shen Weiyang without blinking.
Shen Weiyang blushed at his expression and asked shyly, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Wumian looked him up and down and said, "You seem to be on the verge of a breakthrough. Don't be busy during this period. Just slowly comprehend it. It's best to pass the Dragon Gate in one go. Otherwise, it will be weaker the second time and the third time, which is not a good thing for cultivation."
Shen Weiyang looked at his hands: "Before, my true energy was stirring and I thought it was an illusion. It seems that I am really going to break through. After this busy period is over, I will go into seclusion and try to achieve it in one go!"
Zhao Wumian took out five pieces of ambergris tea leaves and placed them in her hand.
Shen Weiyang did not refuse. With a happy smile on her face, she hugged one of his hands tightly.
"..."
Bai Liuli, who was swimming in the Mirror Lake, looked at them cuddling each other, curled her lips, and wanted to go over to hug the other hand, but noticed the squeezed arc on Shen Weiyang's chest, then looked down at her own, and blew a bubble helplessly: "...It's so annoying, there are still many years before I can grow up..."
At this moment, a guard suddenly ran in quickly, knelt on one knee, and saluted, "My Lord, there is a young man in blue outside the door. He said he is from Tiangong Hall, his last name is Li Tianran, and he has come from afar and wants to learn from you."
"Tiangongtang? Li Tianran?"
Shen Weiyang frowned slightly: "Who is he? This name sounds familiar..."
"The wind is full in the building, and the third place in the Tianjiao list." Zhao Wumian remembered what Ye Zongyuan and Zhang Guangxian said that day: "As expected, he has come..."
Shen Weiyang suddenly realized and remembered the rumors in the martial arts world during this period. After being spread by the White Lotus Sect, the news that "Zhao Wumian should be at the top of the list" had already spread through the martial arts world. This was equivalent to offending all the young masters on the Tianjiao List!
This is an open conspiracy. If he wins, it will be confirmed. If he loses, it doesn't matter either. The White Lotus Sect is eager for his demise. Their intentions are truly vicious!
"It's so fast..."
Shen Weiyang pondered and said, "Why don't you just not fight them? They won't dare to barge in anyway. As for your reputation, it doesn't matter. Your achievements don't need to be proven by fighting. It's better to have less trouble than more."
"If it was an ordinary person, I wouldn't be interested, but I really want to meet this person."
Zhao Wumian stood up and asked with interest: "Weiyang, have you heard of the name Tiangongtang?"
Shen Weiyang shook his head: "Is he from a small sect?"
"I guess so. However, even though it is small, this sect is not simple."
Zhao Wumian narrowed his eyes: "He is the descendant of the Mohist school, and he is here for Yanshu!"
Mohist family.
It is one of the Nine Schools of Thought among the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Pre-Qin period. Together with Gongshujia, it is the only two schools in the Pre-Qin period that possessed the art of Yanshi Yanshu.
It's a pity that after Mozi's death, the Mohist school was divided again and again and declined from generation to generation. Since Emperor Wu of Han promoted Confucianism as the only school of thought, it has been completely declined. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the monk "Sage of Craftsmanship" and his entourage obtained the core inheritance of the Mohist school from the forbidden area of Mount Shennong, which allowed the Mohist school to have a little continuation, that is, the hidden sect - "Tiangongtang"!
Some time ago, among the relics that Zhao Wumian gave to Shen Weiyang, there was a forbidden area of the Mohist school.
Shen Weiyang also went there, but the place had already been emptied, leaving only an empty cave. Even the mechanisms and traps left behind had been dismantled and destroyed. She was still wondering who had done it, but after listening to Zhao Wumian's explanation, she suddenly realized.
It turned out that Master Yihang and his disciples took away the treasures in the forbidden area...
"That's not right, Mr. Zhao~"
Shen Weiyang reacted and widened his eyes: "Since you know the origin of Tiangongtang and know that the forbidden area has been discovered long ago, why did you give me the news and make me go there in vain?"
"cough."
Zhao Wumian coughed awkwardly: "...What if the move is not complete? There is no certainty."
"..."
Shen Weiyang snorted and looked at him with empty eyes: "You make others work hard for nothing and then come to thank you, you bad guy!"
Zhao Wumian hugged her and said softly, "Let's not talk about the past. Boss Shen, be more generous. Let's go out and take a look. Master Yixing is revered as the 'Sage of Engineering' in the martial arts world. The Tiangong Hall has not appeared in the world for a long time, and he has been devoted to studying mechanical engineering. This young Tianjiao Ranking's third place winner should not be here just to compete in martial arts. Let's see what he is here for."
Shen Weiyang was not angry. She guessed that Zhao Wumian didn't think much about it at that time and just gave it to him. Now after hearing what he said, she became interested. Could it be that this person also knew Yanshu?
"Liuli, stay home and help me supervise them to study hard. I'll go out and take a look."
"Uh-huh."
Bai Liuli nodded and agreed.
Zhao Wumian and Shen Weiyang walked out of the woods and looked up, they saw a young man standing under the archway of the villa. He was dressed in green, quite handsome, and had a gentle temperament.
However, the moment he saw him, Zhao Wumian inexplicably felt a strange and dangerous feeling!
This feeling is very rare!
Zhao Wumian rarely had this feeling even when facing the fourth realm, but this Li Tianran was only in the third realm.
"Isn't it possible that I'll meet the protagonist of the plot? Li Tianran's name sounds like 'evil cannot prevail over good'..."
Zhao Wumian calmly took out the [Bone Mirror] and looked at it.
The image of Li Tianran in the mirror slowly turned into red smoke and condensed into words on the surface.
——【Seven Killers Fighting in the Morning】.
——【Seven Killings: Strength +20, Bones +20, Spirituality +20, Comprehension +15, Charm +15, Luck -15, Attack Power increased by 30%.】
Sure enough.
Zhao Wumian was alert in his heart, this was one of the eighteen best fortunes, as famous as [God is jealous of talented people]!
There is a poem that goes: "Seven Killings in the Yin, Shen, Zi and Wu Palaces, the four barbarians bow to the hero. Kui Yue and Wen Chang meet on the left and right, the name of the official is high and the food is ten thousand."
Those who fall into this category have a strong style, are decisive in killing, and will use any means to achieve their goals. They are often in prominent military positions and can command an army of millions!
This doesn't seem like the protagonist.
More like a villain boss.
Zhao Wumian narrowed his eyes, strode closer, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Finally I met someone who has weight...
