Chapter 75: The Night Is Dark, the Wind Is High, the Stars Are up, and the Scholar Slays the Demon with His Sword
Under the leadership of Zhao Pan, Ji Chen met Xie Anbing.
This was the third time he had met Xie Anbing. Compared with the first time, Ji Chen felt that Xie Anbing was very easy-going this time.
At this moment, he is practicing calligraphy with his pen.
Zhao Pan knocked on the door and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qi, I have returned from the north."
"Come in!" Xie Anbing said.
When Ji Chen entered the house, Zhao Pan did not follow him. After Ji Chen entered, he took the initiative to close the door and left.
"Come here and see how my handwriting looks like?" Xie Anbing waved to Ji Chen.
Ji Chen walked to the desk and saw a calligraphy on the desk. It said, "I will smile to the sky with my sword across my body, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact."
Ji Chen was speechless, it turned out to be his own poem.
"Good calligraphy!" Ji Chen praised, "The strokes are vigorous and powerful, and the power of the writing goes straight through the back of the paper."
Wufu usually writes with great strength, and his pen power often passes through his back and imprints ink on the table. Not to mention how well he writes, his magnanimity is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Xie Anbing was very helpful and had a smile on his face.
He was originally a vulgar martial artist, but he only started studying after he joined the Demon Suppression Division. He has always regarded himself as a scholar and wanted to get rid of the title of vulgar martial artist.
Xie An Bing said: "Your poem is very good, I like it very much. You and I are both scholars, so we should be so heroic."
After that, Xie An Bing returned to the topic: "I came to you today because I have a task for you."
Ji Chen quickly said: "Master General Banner, please give me your instructions!"
"It's like this. The prince submitted a case to the Patrol Department. The case involved demons, and then the Patrol Department handed it over to the Demon Suppression Department. It just so happened that several other general banners were on vacation today, and I was on duty. There were not enough manpower, and you happened to be promoted. Xiantian, so I can only trouble you."
"A hundred miles away from the East City, there is a slope called Bailip Slope. A Black Wind Village appeared there. Many passing caravans and people were persecuted by demons. The prince sent people to investigate and found them there. After the case was handed over to the patrol department, The patrol department sent people to patrol and investigate, and they also stopped there. The patrol suspects that there is a demon king gathering, so I want you to go and investigate. If you can do it, destroy it. If you can't, find out the situation and report it to me. "
"There are two ways to reward this mission. One is to find out the situation and report back, and you will be rewarded with 300 merit points. The other is to wipe out the Black Wind Stronghold, and you will be rewarded with 1,000 merit points, plus a piece of star steel."
"I called you here because I think this mission should be suitable for you. If you complete this mission, you will be promoted to Flag Officer. If it is inconvenient for you, I will put the mission out and let other demon suppressors come and take it."
Xie Anbing did not force Ji Chen to take over the task, and Black Flag still had a relatively high degree of freedom.
As soon as Xie An Bing finished speaking, Ji Chen said: "How can such evil spirits be allowed to remain in this world for a long time? I am willing to take a trip."
There are merit points to earn, star steel to get, and killing points to explode. There is no reason not to take this trip.
Xie Anbing reminded: "Be careful when you go here. Someone from the patrol department stopped at Heifeng Village to prove that the evil spirit is not weak."
"Thank you, sir, you should be careful when you are a subordinate."
After bidding farewell to Xie An Bing, Ji Chen first went to the arsenal.
He has two chances to enter the arsenal. There was one time when he first entered the Demon Suppression Division, and one time when he was promoted to Xiantian.
Ji Chen took advantage of an opportunity and entered the arsenal of the Demon Division of Liangzhou Prefecture.
An hour later, Ji Chen came out of the arsenal. He did not find out how to use magic or Confucianism, but he found a boxing technique.
This boxing technique is the Twelve Boxing Boxes of Xingyi and Yi, which was obtained by the Demon Division of Liangzhou Prefecture after annihilating a major sect.
The Demon Suppression Division's arsenal does not contain Confucian and Taoist methods, as well as Taoist methods.
"It seems that the Confucian and Taoist methods can only be obtained by going to Liangzhou Academy, and the Taoist methods can only be obtained by going to Taoist temples."
Ji Chen returned to the yard and began to practice boxing.
There are twelve forms in total of the Twelve Xingyi Quan, Dragon Walking Fist, Tiger Forming Fist, Leopard Forming Fist, Crane Walking Fist...
This boxing technique does not require many killing points, one thousand killing points per style.
After spending 12,000 killing points, Ji Chen successfully practiced all twelve moves.
Twelve forms and meanings, extremely fierce, Ji Chen performed a series of punches in the yard, sometimes dragons roared and tigers roared, sometimes cranes croaked, apes croaked, and sometimes snakes hissed and leopards roared.
After a full session of boxing, Ji Chen fetched cold water from the well and rinsed it off. Steaming mist came out all over his body.
After changing my clothes, I brought some supplies and threw them into the ring. I went to Shifang Night Market to buy a bottle of good wine. I put the knife in my waist and got on my horse, preparing to leave the city at night.
Holding a long sword on your shoulder and marching forward in stride, this is the plot in many picture books, as well as the plot in previous novels.
But who doesn’t yearn for such a life, a lonely lamp carrying a single sword, wandering with pride, wandering around in the world with a broken heart, and asking when the sky will end.
This line of work is not only what Ji Chen longs for, but also to verify what he has learned. Now he needs a battle to confirm what he has learned and test his cultivation.
"Brother Beigui, it's still dark and there are many problems with traveling at night. Why not take a rest first and leave the city after dawn."
Seeing that Ji Chen was about to leave the city at this moment, Zhao Pan opened his mouth to dissuade him. There were many strange monsters at night, which were especially dangerous, so be more careful outside the city.
Ji Chen said: "Since we have the intention, there is no need to calculate the length of a moment. People of our generation should know and act as one. The sword is in the hand, the courage is in the chest, and the righteousness is in the heart. When the night is dark, the wind is high, the stars and the moon are rising, we ride the wind and wield the sword. When killing demons.”
"The reason why too many people fail to achieve anything is because they worry too much. I have a sword that can kill monsters as soon as I take it out of its sheath, so why be afraid of it."
After Ji Chen finished speaking, he rode away.
Zhao Pan stood outside the gate, looking at Ji Chen's receding back and his heroic demeanor, and could not help but yearn for him, "Brother is so free and easy, when can I be like you, with a knife in hand, and travel the world as I please."
In a nearby courtyard, a scholar was returning home from the lantern festival at night, and was about to enter the door. Hearing Ji Chen's words of unity of knowledge and action, he was very surprised. Such a free and easy and heroic spirit touched his heart. Looking at the receding back, he yearned, "How free and easy, I envy him. May I ask, brother Zhao, who is this in your family?"
Zhao Pan said, "Brother Beigui is my colleague, and he is here for a mission."
"Beigui" The scholar savored the two words, and then his face changed, and he hurriedly said, "But it's Ji Beigui who wrote those two eternal quatrains."
Zhao Pan nodded, "Exactly!"
"Fuck! Finally found him!"
The scholar left a swear word, and the wine was mostly sober, and he hurriedly ran towards the academy.
"Master, I found Ji Beigui. He lives next door to me."
The scholar was very excited. Ji Chen's two eternal quatrains caused a sensation in Liangzhou City, especially in Liangzhou Academy. The masters ordered their students to ask around for Beigui and inform them as soon as they found him.
The masters would try their best to accept Ji Beigui as their student.
A person who can write eternal quatrains will surely become famous in Confucianism in the future. Even if he cannot become a Confucian saint, he will at least be a great Confucian.
If he writes eternal quatrains again in the future, as his master, he will also be able to benefit from it. Whenever people mention Beigui, they will definitely mention his master and say that his quatrains were written under the guidance of his master.
Confucianism attaches great importance to reputation.
