[God rewards hard work. Your persistence and efforts have brought you real progress] [You feel the heat of the sun when you punch in the morning] [You feel the alternation of the sun and the moon when you punch in the evening] [Ordinary fists evolve in repeated postures, and your understanding of martial arts and boxing has become deeper] [Seven years of continuous punching have transformed the "Qi and Blood Long Fist". Congratulations, you have comprehended the "Qi and Blood Tyrant Fist"] [Your boxing is as loud as the sun] [Your Qi and blood are as domineering as a furnace] [You have successfully promoted to the blood exchange realm, and your strength has ushered in an astonishing increase. From now on, you will not be afraid of monsters below the innate level] [The girl saw you punch the blue steel stone, her face was dull, and she was stunned] [She seemed to have misunderstood something and thought you were hiding your skills. Although you explained again and again that it was just an ordinary punch ]
[The girl's attitude towards you has changed] [She earnestly and sincerely asks you how you can punch so amazingly without advanced martial arts and supreme skills] [The girl no longer calls you Xu, but Mr. Xu] [The master is the one who is more capable. You are older than the 16-year-old Wu Yingxue, and your martial arts skills are more powerful than she can understand. Therefore, Wu Yingxue directly asks you for martial arts] [You feel a little embarrassed. All your strength comes from your own persistence. You don't know how to teach] [Wu Yingxue hands over a bottle of Qi Pill] [The effect of the pill is to greatly increase the success rate of blood exchange warriors who go from acquired to innate] [You suddenly feel that you are a good teacher] [You begin to teach Wu Yingxue based on your own experience, not for other reasons, just because you are kind] The days of recuperation pass slowly. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. In order to ensure that her strength is restored to its peak, and that she can return to Beijing in the most perfect state and investigate the truth of her attack, Wu Yingxue has been hiding in Xu Xi's house to rest. The mountains are stacked and the trees are shady. In Qingniu Town, located on the border of Daqian, you can clearly see the majestic veins of the Shiwan Mountains, like a heavy shadow that makes it difficult for people to breathe. For Wu Yingxue, who has been in the imperial capital since she was a child. Such scenery is very novel and creepy at the same time. Shiwan Mountains. It is also called the Shiwan Demon Cave. There are tens of thousands of different types of demons in it, which are real and can chew human bones and drink human blood.
In the past, Wu Yingxue had only seen it in the storybooks, but now that she has witnessed the existence of the Shiwan Mountains with her own eyes, she finds that the demons are countless times more terrifying than in the storybooks. Moreover, life on the border of Daqian is more difficult than imagined. If she had not been attacked and wanted by the government, the girl would have returned to Beijing early, unwilling to endure this torturous life. "Sir..." "Are we still eating this today..." Qingniu Town. The warm sunshine fell on the earth, quiet and silent. Wu Yingxue's words were like throwing a stone into the lake, breaking the summer silence, and seemed extremely embarrassed. The uneven wooden table. There were two bowls of rice paste and a bowl of tempting meat. However, the girl looked at the rice paste with only disgust. The look at the meat was completely terrified and timid. If Xu Xi had not been sitting opposite, she would have overturned the table. Difficult! "How can the flesh and blood of demons be eaten!" "Of course it can be." Xu Xi responded calmly. Wu Yingxue did not believe it. She had experienced it once before, and the taste was indescribable. But Xu Xi's big mouthfuls of chewing meat made the girl doubt her own judgment. Maybe it's really delicious? Maybe it was an accident last time? Or, try again? The 16-year-old girl was moved, her stomach growled, and she couldn't help but pick up a piece of braised demon meat with chopsticks and put it into her mouth to chew. So sour! So hard! "Puh, puh, puh!" Wu Yingxue spit it out with a bitter face. She couldn't imagine how Xu Xi managed to swallow the demon meat calmly without changing his expression. And the other people in Qingniu Town, after receiving the demon flesh and blood given by Xu Xi, would show extremely happy expressions. "Sir, why don't you and the others in the town eat better?"
"As far as I know, Daqian has been prosperous in recent years, and we shouldn't live so frugally." Faced with the girl's doubts. Xu Xi swallowed the black unknown substance in his mouth slowly. When the eyelids opened, the eyes were clearly visible. "There is no reason, and it is not as complicated as you think. It is just that there is no food." "Qingniu Town is located at the junction of Shiwandashan and ." "Nominally, Qingniu Town is part of Daqian, but it is too dangerous and few caravans are willing to come here." "And the demon tides in spring and winter every year will further destroy the crops and livestock in the town. In the end, it will become what you see." Demon meat is unpalatable? Indeed. Xu Xi did not deny this. Most demons' flesh and blood are either poisonous or have demonic energy, and the few that can be eaten are difficult to swallow. But it is precisely this very small amount of demon meat that allows countless border towns like Qingniu Town to continue to survive on the difficult border. Wu Yingxue was stunned for a long time. She is 16 years old and grew up in the imperial capital. She can't understand why such suffering exists. She asked again: "Life here is so difficult, why don't people... move to safer counties?" "You don't know? ", Xu Xi glanced at the heroic and unrestrained, yet innocent girl. At this moment, Wu Yingxue had already taken back the spear. The spear tip was sharp, the spear body was shining, and with the red and white robe and light armor, she looked so strong and handsome, and so untouched by the world. "Yes, you should not have come into contact with it before." Xu Xi paused and said something shocking that the girl had never heard of. "The reason is very simple, the court does not allow it." "Regarding household registration and the people, Daqian has a very strict set of rules." "Especially in a town like Qingniu Town, which borders the Shiwandashan Mountains, it is absolutely not allowed to transfer the household registration." "Violators will be punished severely. " The plain words brought a strong impact. Wu Yingxue's pupils contracted, and her whole body and mind trembled violently: "This, this is not to force the people here to..."
The girl did not say the cruel word. That word was too terrible. It was so terrible that the girl dared not speak directly. This formed an extremely distorted contrast with the common sense she had known since childhood that the human race lived a very stable and happy life under the protection of Daqian. She held the last inexplicable hope and asked this question: "Didn't the court send people to manage it?" Xu Xi replied calmly: "Yes, people are sent to collect taxes every year. "
