Chapter 53 53. Three Styles
Two days later.
Early in the morning.
In Baiyun Lane, two outer disciples of the Blood Blade Sect led several servants into Cai Ze's house.
They came here to count everything in Cai Ze's house and then divide it up.
More than an hour later, the house was locked up, and the counted property was packed into boxes and moved to the oxcart outside the door.
Zuo Xiuxiu and Huang Ya were also carried and placed with these goods.
The two women huddled together, pretending to be calm and looking around, but their pupils were full of tension and fear.
This house will welcome new outer disciples, or other prospective residents with silver medals.
And the two maids, Zuo Xiuxiu and Huang Ya, will be taken back to the Blood Blade Sect and settled for a few days. If no disciples buy them, they may be used as rewards, or sold to brothels for some silver.
Although Zuo Xiuxiu is Cai Ze's wife, she knows that no one will believe it even if she tells it.
At this moment, she could only hope that the young man would keep his word and come to buy her.
But if the young man didn't come, she couldn't do anything.
If the young man bought her and wanted to use her as a bed warmer or even a tool, she couldn't do anything either.
Dongdongdong.
"Brother Li, Brother Li!"
There were knocks and shouts outside Li Yuan's house.
Li Yuan opened the door and saw a thin young man in a black robe and tied hair standing outside. It was Yu Mao.
"Brother Yu." Li Yuan smiled and greeted.
Yu Mao also smiled and said, "Brother Li asked me to pay attention to the matter the day before yesterday. There is news. This morning, two maids from Cai Ze's family were accepted into the sect. According to the sect rules, all disciples can buy them with money."
Li Yuan said, "This kind of thing? Everyone is no exception?"
Yu Mao said, "Not really. If a disciple dismisses the maids in advance, the maids will not be accepted into the sect again. Didn't Cai Ze die in an accident? Of course, he didn't have time to deal with it."
Li Yuan nodded and suddenly said, "Brother Yu, can you do me a favor?"
"Brother, please tell me. You and I are destined to be together. I will go to deliver the uniforms to you. What's the problem with running errands for you this time?" Yu Mao blinked and said with a smile, "Brother, do you like the two maids from Cai Ze's family?"
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head and said, "It's not that I like them, but I'm helping Brother Cai deal with his funeral. His spirit in heaven should not want to see his maids enter other people's houses again."
As he said, he took out six ingots directly. He handed the ten-liang silver ingot to Yu Mao and said, "Brother Yu, please help me buy it quickly."
Yu Mao immediately understood what he meant, stared at him with wide eyes, then nodded and said with emotion, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Li to be such a righteous man."
After that, he smiled and said, "That's right, Senior Brother Li is a married man. Other senior brothers, huh, even me, who wants to have a wife after entering the rank?
Those who originally had wives, also treated them as if they didn't have any; those who didn't have wives, even less wanted to marry. It's really rare to see someone like Senior Brother Li.
Senior Brother Li is righteous to his wife and to his brothers. Cai Ze didn't make a mistake in making a friend like you."
He took the silver and said, "Senior Brother, wait a minute. I'm very familiar with the purchasing process. I'll go buy Cai Ze's two maids and hand them over to you personally."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Yu."
"You're welcome."
After Yu Mao left, Li Yuan stretched his muscles in the daylight of the courtyard.
Yesterday, the sequelae of the fusion of shadow and blood had completely disappeared.
It was time to continue practicing.
He had a bow for long-range shooting, but the longbow was more suitable for sniping rather than dealing with emergencies. Once he encountered sudden danger or was approached by the enemy, he would be quite passive.
The remaining options were "gunmanship" and "swordmanship".
Li Yuan cast his eyes on "Spring and Autumn Sword Ninth Grade - Spring Thunder (1/10)".
This was his first named skill.
The other skills were archery, animal taming, tracking, and gunmanship.
In comparison, this one with a name felt stronger.
"Then try swordsmanship first."
"Now I have 244 points of free points. If I want to fill up the archery, I need 240 points.
This will certainly increase my strength limit, but the old problem is still that my ability to deal with emergencies is too weak."
"Then try swordsmanship.
Anyway, at the critical moment, I can still melt blood. Although there is only a safety range of three or four seconds, it is enough."
Li Yuan thought for a while and shouted, "Sister Yan, I will go to the backyard to practice. Don't let anyone in."
"Got it~" Yan Yu was also practicing Hui Liu Gong in the house, but she couldn't even touch the door frame.
Li Yuan came to the backyard and took the standard fine steel knife issued by the sect. He held the knife and swung it a few times. It felt good, but the sense of force and hand feeling were not as good as the long-handled knife.
He glanced at it and saw that his comprehensive strength was "12~23".
"Add points."
He clicked the "++" after "Spring and Autumn Knife Ninth Grade - Spring Thunder (Primary) (1/10)".
"Spring Thunder (Intermediate) (1/20)", the overall strength becomes "24~50".
Continue to click.
"Spring Thunder (Advanced) (1/40)", the overall strength becomes "39~80".
Click again.
"Spring Thunder (Expert) (1/80)", the overall strength becomes "54~110".
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and continued to click.
"Spring Thunder (Grandmaster) (1/160)", the overall strength becomes "69~140".
The continuous improvement instantly reduced the number of free points by 150 points, leaving 94 points.
At the same time, a wealth of memories emerged from Li Yuan's mind and body. These memories included years of hard practice and practice, the sudden enlightenment gained after closing his eyes and dying, and repeated verification, as well as the chance of entering the mountains and being guided by a stranger.
The knife that was originally a little unfamiliar in his hand now seems to have become a part of his body, like an extension of his arm.
But because of this, this short-handled knife is a bit awkward to hold.
In short, it is not so pleasant to chop.
"Just use it reluctantly for now.
The Spring Thunder style requires a long-handled knife to exert its full power.
I use a short-handled knife to cover up the fact that I know Spring Thunder."
"In addition, there is only one Spring Thunder style, and this style improves me almost the same as archery.
If I had just chosen a primary sword technique instead of Spring Thunder, my overall strength might be the same."
"Then what is the difference between this move and ordinary sword techniques?"
Li Yuan experienced it carefully.
Although he doesn't know ordinary swordsmanship, he can shoot arrows.
Comparing them, he suddenly had a vague feeling.
"It's the sequel
The sequel of Spring Thunder has not ended, and even gives people a feeling that it has just begun.
But ordinary archery feels exhausted and lacks soul."
"Yes.
This is mentioned in "Spring and Autumn Sword".
"Spring and Autumn Sword" has three styles. The ninth-grade style is called Spring Thunder, which is for splitting; the eighth-grade style is called Jingzhe, which is for sweeping; the seventh-grade style is called Yueyuan, which is a tricky and fatal sword from bottom to top.
These three swords are integrated. Unless the previous sword is cultivated, the next sword will be rootless and cannot be cultivated.
In addition, if all three swords are perfect, it seems that they can be integrated and create their own unique moves.
This is indeed not comparable to ordinary swordsmanship."
Li Yuan put the sword next to him, and his comprehensive strength was firmly fixed at "69~140".
"Okay, okay! I showed my overall strength of about 20 in front of the teacher before.
In the future, I should be able to show my overall strength of about 30 without restraint.
Yu Mao is an ordinary outer disciple, and his strength is 24~25.
I am a little stronger than him, just right."
Li Yuan silently put away his knife. Seeing that it was still early, he took the longbow whose bowstring was broken yesterday, went all the way to the blacksmith shop in Yinxifang, and spent 1 tael of silver to repair it successfully.
When I got home, I saw Aunt Wang leading two beautiful women waiting in the courtyard.
Aunt Wang said: "Master, your junior brother just came here, and he said that the person and the indenture contract have been brought."
As she said, she held the indenture contract.
Li Yuan took it, looked at the nervous Huang Ya and Zuo Xiuxiu, and tore the contract of sale into pieces. Then he went back to the house, took out two gold ingots and four silver ingots and gave them to the two women, saying, "Sister-in-law, this is all I can do for you and Brother Cai."
Zuo Xiuxiu finally let go of her heart, her eyes were red, and she kept saying "Thank you, thank you".
Huang Ya also knelt down while crying.
Li Yuan helped her up, looked at Zuo Xiuxiu and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are your plans for the future? Are you still in Yinxi?"
Zuo Xiuxiu wiped her tears and said, "Without my husband, we are not qualified to settle in Yinxi. I plan to go to Wutongfang next door. Although the security there is not as good as Yinxi, it is not bad."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Then I won't stay any longer."
Zuo Xiuxiu looked at him deeply and said, "Thank you."
After that, she and Huang Ya bowed to Li Yuan again and left in a hurry.
Li Yuan looked at the sky and it was already evening.
At this time, Zuo Xiuxiu left so decisively, which means she has some connections outside, but those connections can't help her fight against the rules of the Blood Blade Sect.
"Forget it, it's just a small favor. What does it matter to her?"
