Chapter 2 Mantis City
"Old Zhan," Ai Mingyu said earnestly: "You said we have been together for so long, and you know my character. When did I treat you badly? This is your departure. Is it not that my brother is loyal enough?" Ai Ming was stomping his stomach, his tone was so calm that he could compare with the leader.
Feng Dazhan secretly curled his lips. This guy's character is because he knows that you are a guy's character. "Master, you see, the little one is not very tough. You still have to run around at this age. It's really a bit inappropriate. The little one wants to go back to his hometown to plant two acres of thin fields and live a stable life. If he doesn't want to run away again, the master will make the little one go." Alas, people are under the roof, and they have to bow their heads. If it weren't for wanting to catch something in this guy's pocket before leaving, would it be necessary to be so humble?
"Uncle Zhan, please stay." When Xia Zhu heard that Feng Dazhan was about to leave, she also came over to grab his arm and persuaded her. Usually, Feng Dazhan loved her the most. If he left, he would think that he would never see him again, which would be very uncomfortable.
Feng Dazhan looked at Xia Zhu lovely. In fact, he couldn't bear to leave these girls, he was a childless person. He seemed to have some children on these four girls during this period. When he thought of leaving them, he felt uncomfortable. He also thought that if he followed this Ai Ming again, he might have lost his life aside. I'm sorry, I have to leave that.
"Well, since you want to leave, we are not unreasonable. Let's do this. You wait for two days first. When we get some things done first, you can leave. How about it?" Ai Ming saw that Feng Dazhan could not persuade him, so he had to take a step back. Feng Dazhan really couldn't leave at this time. Once he left, his group of people would have to open their eyes. At least he had to wait until he paved the road he would take in the future and buy some things he should buy before he could leave.
Feng Dazhan nodded helplessly, and there was only this. When he left at this time, he was a little worried about the safety of the four girls. "It's not that you can't cause trouble before the young man left." Finally, he reminded Ai Ming with great concern. This guy was not capable, he was confused, but he was reckless and tight. No, he had to pay close attention. But before leaving, he would not be able to kill dragons and dogs again. He would really not be able to stand it.
After the matter was discussed, the playfulness was greatly reduced, but we had to go out. It was not a big deal that we were always frustrated in the house, so we still had to go shopping. After everyone packed up, they left the hotel gate.
Alas, why did I work hard? I originally wanted to give up my worries and have fun, but this happened again. The wind is really not worrying about it, there is no way. Ai Ming looked at the four little girls walking in front of him and chatted and laughed loudly, and couldn't help but envy why he couldn't be like them.
"Master, come up quickly." Chunlan waved the lollipop in her hand and shouted.
Haha, it’s better to be young, Ai Ming nodded with a smile, and his face froze. This girl is a little sincere in greeting people. Why didn’t she wait for her to respond and turn around and see what she looks like. She is lying on Dongmei. Has she forgotten that Dongmei is playing a family child now? If someone is interested, she will have to doubt it. Thinking of this, Ai Ming hurriedly walked up and pulled Chunlan over. Chunlan blinked her naive big eyes and looked at Ai Ming, wondering what’s wrong with the master, why is her face so bad? She can’t be a bad stomach. Ai Ming, who suffered a lot of setbacks, really couldn’t bear to look at Chunlan’s innocent and cute appearance, as if she was a big bad wolf bullying the little white rabbit now.
"Chunlan, walk well and see what you look like." Ai Ming scolded in a low voice, but his eyes turned to the side.
Chunlan stuck out her tongue and nodded fiercely. The master was so cool when he became fierce. I like it. Ai Ming looked at Chunlan helplessly. Obviously, her words did not work for her. In a blink of an eye, her little hand was pulled with Qiuju again. Forget it, what can I do if I was discovered? With my current martial arts, I can't beat it, so I can escape. Ai Ming sorted out his thoughts and opened the Star Bracelet. Where, oh, I found it.
"Old Zhan, go here." Ai Ming greeted and walked towards an alley.
Feng Dazhan felt a sudden strife in his heart. What tricks does this kid want to play? He won’t cause trouble again, right? Thinking of this, he quickly chased after him and whispered to Ai Ming: "Master, where are you going?"
Ai Ming looked at Feng Dazhan with a slanted eye, thinking that this old guy was really troublesome and just followed him. He asked something, but he still replied, "I'm going to the black market, you're leaving, I have to make some preparations, right?" Indeed, Feng Dazhan's departure had a great impact on Ai Ming, so we must prepare for the future and prepare early.
Feng Dazhan felt relieved, as long as he didn't go to cause trouble.
"Master, look at that person." Dongmei pulled Ai Ming and pointed at someone in surprise and said. When Ai Ming saw it, she was also shocked. This person is crazy. Is there anyone who works like this? It turned out that they happened to walk to a small second floor. Dongmei accidentally saw a person falling on the side of the second floor and was painting the wall. At first, she didn't care much, because such things were very common in the Tufang Empire. But after she walked over, she thought about it and thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more she felt wrong.
After looking back carefully, I found that the man was not stepping on the ladder, not tied a rope, and had no support around him. He actually hung it on the wall out of thin air. He looked very strange. After looking carefully, he was not surprised. However, he saw that the man was holding a brush in his right hand and was stained with the white gray brushing wall in the small bucket hanging on his waist. His left hand was pinched into a hook shape, with his index finger protruding, hooking the gap in the wall, and with the power of his index finger, he hung his whole body, which was amazing.
Ai Ming asked himself that it was not difficult to do this. Of course, he would be much worse than skills. But now his ability is as powerful as a big deal, doing this is a piece of cake. But in such a small place, a worker who paints walls can do this, which is shocking. Could this be a martial arts hero who retired from the martial arts world? No, right? Since he retired, there is no need to show off like this, right?
Feng Dazhan also saw this situation, but he did not pay special attention. He just saw Ai Ming in a daze there, pulled Ai Ming lightly and signaled to leave quickly. He obviously did not want to cause more trouble. Ai Ming also woke up and hurriedly walked away. Now Ai Ming is a wanted criminal after all, and the most taboo thing is to attract attention. If you are accidentally attracted by someone who is interested, then all your previous efforts can be said to be wasted. It is his business to do whatever the wall painter is willing to do, or be careful.
"Master, he is so powerful. Will his hands hurt?" Xia Zhu had no idea of being a wanted criminal at all. She just pulled Ai Ming's sleeve and asked naively. Use her fingertips to pick the wall? It hurts so much. She looked down at her slender jade fingers, worried that she would think, what if her nails broke? It looked so ugly.
Two of the other three sisters nodded at the same time. They also admired the wall painter very much. Only Qiuju noticed their current situation and did not express any opinions. She just grabbed the hands of the two sisters next to her and tried to pull them away.
The wall painter obviously heard everyone's words. When he looked back, he saw a man with a gorgeous clothes behind a butler, and two children. The two maids were pointing at it, and he couldn't help but get excited. However, he didn't care about the young butler's child, but he saw the two maids. You know, Mantis City is located in a remote place and there were no good-looking women at first, but today he suddenly saw two beautiful women. The two women looked very similar, but each one looked good. But in general, they were more beautiful than the Ma family's eldest daughter, who is known as the number one beauty in Mantis City in the city. How could he not be excited? For a moment, he felt a sense of buying things. He had never seen the peacock always spread the big fan on his butt when he was courting? The wall painter now is the male peacock.
He bowed his body, rubbed his feet against the wall, and buckled his fingers, bounced from the wall into the air. He spread his arms like a big crane, and made a 360-degree turn, drew a short arc, and finally stuck to the wall. If anyone pays attention, he will find that the crack of the wall that he now clamped with his left index finger is the one he clamped with before.
"Oh." A cry came to the wall brusher's ears.
Awesome, haha. I was scared, haha. The wall painting worker was extremely proud. He had mastered this skill for one or two hundred years and had carefully practiced it. Even the senior brother of the Mantis Sect would shout good when he saw this skill. Moreover, the two delicate little women must admire him very much. He could imagine that the two women behind him were full of pink cheeks, their eyes were blurred, their hands held their hearts, and they were impressed with their backs. Haha, I should show my face today. God treats me well, and these two women were impressed by their skills.
Don’t you think of yourself as their dream lover in your heart? Haha, haha. The wall painter almost got into his dream and couldn’t extricate himself. He seemed to see himself wearing a hero robe, a hero scarf, and a hero boot. The two women defeated the evil old society in the midst of water and fire. (The old society naturally refers to the rich boy standing next to the two women. The boy was ugly in appearance and looked ugly, and he knew it was not a good thing at first glance.), and in the end the two women developed a love for themselves and married them both to themselves, haha, so good.
"Hey, the person above, what are you doing?" A woman's voice suddenly came from below. The sound was so soft and delicious, and it sounded so good.
The wall painter's thinking will come to reality. He wiped the saliva that flowed to his chin and straightened his face. Then he slowly turned around and put a poss on his head and looked down. This time he turned around, which was famous, called Mantis Searching, which was extremely difficult to practice. After his improvement, he could rely entirely on one finger to support him. Looking back, the difficulty was even higher.
But one of the women below raised their little face, with a rounded almond eyes, and looked at him with an arm. Oh, the wall painter sighed, the beautiful girl was angry just one word, or pretty. Wait, she seemed to have missed something? The wall painter turned her eyes to the raised arm, and saw that the red sleeves of the woman's arm were covered with white spots, which were very conspicuous. Oh no, it was a miss. Thinking of this, the wall painter stuck out his tongue, turned around and climbed up, rubbed a few times and climbed to the roof, and then turned over and disappeared without a trace. It turned out that when he was playing acrobatics in the air, he forgot that he was holding a brush covered with white paint in his hand. The brush flew with his body, and the white paint on the brush naturally flew with it. The woman's sleeves were of course the result of the splashing paint around.
Chunlan stomped her feet angrily. The little thief ran so fast. If I hadn't been wearing a skirt, hum, I would have to hit you, a pig's head. Ai Ming was a free joke and felt much more comfortable. He smiled and hugged Chunlan, saw that there were no outsiders around him, and kissed her and said, "Don't be angry, I'll buy you a new skirt later, Master later."
Chunlan's face turned red, so embarrassed, why did the master do such intimate actions in public? Carefully peek around. Fortunately, there were no outsiders. But when he saw the sisters looking at him with that look, he couldn't help but feel angry. He stretched out his little hand and pinched the old flesh on Ai Ming's waist, and pinched Ai Ming's teeth and mouth cracked before he let go. His mood improved a lot. The innocent Ai Ming had suffered. Chunlan saw Ai Ming's uncomfortable expression again, and felt distressed. He quickly rubbed his waist with his little hand a few times, which was quite meaningful to give a big stick and a sweet date.
"Master, are you surprised by that person? In fact, as long as you walk around the street, you will find that many people are the same as him." Feng Dazhan said with a smile. It is impossible not to say that Ai Ming is still young and has never seen any big world.
Oh? Ai Ming looked at Feng Dazhan in wonder. Why did he speak without any end? What does it mean? But when Feng Dazhan just smiled, he stopped talking. He knew that he could no longer take out anything from his mouth, so he gave up. Everyone resumed walking, walked a few steps, and left the alley.
At this time, Ai Ming noticed the reactions of the people around him. Since Feng Dazhan wanted to see what these people were doing, there was naturally his reason. Hey, Ai Ming finally discovered something was wrong. The more he looked, the more surprised he became. The world was so big, everything was strange. There were all kinds of birds in the forest. If he didn't look, he was shocked when he saw it.
Who are these people? Why do they all look like they have unique skills? Looking at that man, he walked with a swaying swaying like he was drunk and was about to fall. After a closer look, he found that his lower plate was strong and his feet were rooted. Although his hand was not very skillful, he was not able to do it. Looking at that man, he was carrying two baskets of apples on his shoulders and selling them on the streets, which looked very ordinary, but the shoulder pole on his shoulders and two baskets were dark and metallic. If he guessed correctly, these things should be cast iron, which totaled at least 200 kilograms.
But in that person's hand, he looked as if nothing was missing; he looked at the man, and he was on the right path and ran to the eaves and flew around the eaves, showing off his lightness skills. The most annoying thing was that the big chore that was recruiting guests next to the restaurant, letting go of his throat and shouting, the sound was steady, but it could be heard for ten miles, showing his deep internal strength. God, accidentally looked into the restaurant, but saw a guy holding a hot pot with his fingers in one hand and walking towards him, what was going on? Not to mention how heavy the hot pot and the soup inside were, would he not think it was hot?
Ai Ming became more and more surprised and curious as he looked. Where did he come to? Why did everyone seem to have unique skills? He was so angry that even a beggar stood there begging for others? Oh, he only had one leg.
"Master, you can see it." Feng Dazhan said proudly.
Hum, what's so great about it? I can see it. So what, what's the point? You're so proud, as if the people walking on the street are all your relatives. Ai Ming whispered and stopped talking. Feng Dazhan, regardless of Ai Ming's feelings, started talking on his own, saying that he was erotic and had flowers under his tongue. He immediately attracted the four little girls and left Ai Ming outside. Ai Ming was so angry, these four girls were too embarrassed to give him face, so why did he leave a floor for himself? Really, the four girls surrounded the old man, what was it like? Oh, forget it, who made him soft-hearted, let them go for a while. Ai Ming was walking, pretending to be careless, but his ears stood up, listening carefully to Feng Dazhan bragging.
But there are many ways to practice in the world, but in general, there are several major categories such as Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, demons, martial arts, etc. These methods of practice have their own strengths and weaknesses. But in the end, there is no distinction between you and me. In other words, wise creatures who like loneliness, all like to pile up, those who practice Taoism gather together, those who practice demons gather together, so that they can facilitate daily communication, etc. There are more creatures who practice the same method in a certain place, and naturally the country they are in is positioned as the exclusive country of this method of practice. This also forms different practice methods in different countries, and different practice methods in different countries.
In addition to the driving force of interests to carry out alliances or wars, interactions also include hostility from different ways of practicing. For example, the main practice method of the Tufang Empire is Taoism, while the Yasi Empire is magic, which fundamentally makes these two countries have never been peaceful since its establishment. The Sangge Empire, where Ai Ming is now, is a country that focuses on practicing martial arts. This country is not big and can stand for thousands of years. It is because the whole nation practices martial arts. It is not a disadvantage to fighting with other countries. You think that whether it is practicing Taoism or demons, the talent and opportunity required is very important. It is already amazing to have one in ten thousand people in a country who practice Taoism and demons. But practicing martial arts is different. It is just an individual, and it depends on diligence and hard work.
Of course, practicing martial arts does not mean that there is no need for talent and opportunity, but relatively speaking, it is much lower than other practice methods. However, there are disadvantages to practicing martial arts, which are easy to enter, but difficult to improve, and it is even more difficult to become a master. But once you become a master, you can compete with the top masters in other practice methods. The battle between countries is about funds, equipment, personnel, number of masters, etc. Maybe there are not many masters in the Sangge Empire, but the quality of ordinary soldiers is the best in the continent, and one can beat ten. So what if you have more masters? After all, the masters in the army are a minority, and the large part is still the ordinary soldiers.
Speaking of the Sangge Empire, it was built by martial arts. The martial arts practice style is naturally very prosperous in the country, and there are many sects. It can be said that individuals will do something like that, which has formed its unique national style. This country emphasizes that the strong are respected. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. People who practice martial arts often cannot avoid fighting and fighting, fighting and making trouble. Over time, a sect dispute will form, and no one will accept anyone. Not convinced? It is easy to deal with, and fight, so there will be a distinction between strong and weak, and the strong will form a big one.
The sects, the disciples move millions; the small ones survive in the cracks, hoping to make a comeback one day. The Sangge Empire encouraged the above phenomenon, because where does not fight come from? Therefore, this country has provided various conveniences to allow the sect disputes to continue, and the more the sects are, the better. But how can the sects grow? Of course, a fixed group of people must join it to develop. Therefore, the larger the territory a sect occupies, the better. When the territory is larger, there will naturally be more people.
The Sangge Empire made the following provisions: In order to encourage the development of martial arts, large sects can occupy cities, including the land around the city, for development purposes. Of course, the occupation here is not real occupation, but nominal occupation. Such cities have two administrative systems, one is assigned by the state, responsible for the development planning, tax management, military construction, etc.; the other is assigned by the city sect, responsible for the safety, cleaning, etc. The purpose of this is naturally to give convenience to sects with a good development prospect so that they have a good foundation to develop. With the development of urban sects, it is naturally much more convenient, and the income is also guaranteed. Not to mention that a large part of the stores in the city are run by this sect, but in terms of taxation, except for four-fifths of the state, the rest belong to the sect.
At the same time, the Sangge Empire has the following regulations: Any city owned by a sect has the right to name the city. For example, Mantis City is the name of Mantis Sect. The number of cities in the sect also determines the style and name of the city. For example, Tai Chi Gate has ten cities. In addition to the headquarters called Tai Chi City, it is also called Shouyuan City, and Wild Horses Split Manic City.
Okay, I talked too much, which made Feng Dazhan a little dry mouth, so I stopped talking. The four sisters who were happy to listen were reluctant to let go, but Feng Dazhan decided not to speak anymore. What could I do? In the end, each of the four sisters gave him a few pink fists to show punishment. Feng Dazhan's eyes narrowed. So comfortable, Feng Dazhan decided to leave Ai Ming and find a beautiful wife so that she could get hammered every day.
Ai Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and it turned out that there were so many tricks in it, which opened his eyes. It was not surprising that people on the street would do such a skill. If you look closely, although these people would do such a skill, they were far behind with the eyes of experts.
Chapter completed!
