Chapter 131: Planning the Painting Skin (1)
The bright red lanterns were hung high, and the people coming and going were smiling happily. Even those who had just arrived here could know that this wealthy family was having a happy event.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The legitimate son of a wealthy family in this city is welcoming his daughter. He is very popular and very happy.
The Ma family is not just a big family in the city. Now there are noble people in their family. They are the ministers of the dynasty. With such background, the power of the Ma family is extremely large in this city. Nearly half of the shops in the city are owned by the Ma family. Most of the people in the city have either direct or indirect employment relationships with the Ma family.
You're welcome, the Ma family moved casually, and the whole city shook three times.
With such a sense of dignity, now that the Ma family’s young master is getting married, the people in this city, whether they know each other or not, naturally have to say goodbye to the Ma family, get familiar with each other and seek good luck.
Once there are too many people, it is inevitable that there will be something to discuss. The focus of this discussion is naturally on the groom, the eldest son of the Ma family. If we follow the impression of the past, even if it will not be too unpleasant to discuss, there will be no good words. But at this time, it is different from the past, because the eldest son of the Ma family is also somewhat "mysterious" in this wedding.
The eldest son of the Ma family has "heroes save the beauty".
It is said that a few days ago, the eldest young man of the Ma family went out for a trip and encountered a group of strong men intercepted a large caravan. He was originally a playboy in the Ma family, and even if he had elite guards in such a situation, he would definitely avoid it. But for some reason, the eldest young man of the Ma family suddenly had the courage to kill him with his own guard.
The Ma family is a big family, and naturally protects their own heirs very well. All the sent people were trained in the army and they were very capable. So even though the number of guards in the Ma family was relatively small at that time, they were enough to gain an absolute advantage in the face of those bandits and evildoers. They were quickly killed and rescued the merchant family.
If it were just this, this was just a rare thing for the eldest son of the Ma family to be proud of his life. As for whether the merchant would repay his filial piety, he would naturally not take it seriously as a young master. But who knew that the businessman said that it was difficult to repay his life-saving grace, and hoped to marry his sister to Mr. Ma.
Who is Ma Da Shao, not only has a prominent family background, but also has a good reading of poetry and books. He is destined to become a juren. Even if he sees a beautiful woman with a beautiful country, he will never... Well, after the merchant's repeated begging, Ma Da Shao finally agreed to take him as his concubine.
After all, the other party not only has a strong bride price, but the beauty is also beautiful and kind. In the words of Master Ma, it is: "If you let the lady down, it will be incompatible with the law."
Well, no matter what the situation was at that time, this is the version that spreads all over the city now.
Today is a happy day, and the bride's family members are all present, and it doesn't seem to be wronged. So the discussion is a discussion at this time, and there are not many people who are jealous in their hearts, but everyone says praise without any sarcasm and doubt.
Finally, everyone already knows the story of Ma Da Shao’s “Heroes Save Beauty” and looks forward to the beginning of this wedding. Even though Ma Da Shao is extravagant at this time, it seems that he is not a concubine but a wife.
"The Ma family is really ugly. They act so recklessly for such boring things. There are also those stupid people who only know how to please and play with them, but they don't know that only by working hard and improving themselves can they get the opportunity to get rid of this trapped situation."
He shook his head slightly, Ruohan was a little disdainful of the Ma family's lively wedding banquet at this time, and even sighed: They are all stupid people.
"Although I don't want to admit it, among the many parallel planes I have experienced, there are indeed many such incompetent stupid people, and I have no idea what is truly worth pursuing. Just like this plane, the plane itself contains countless "treasures" of martial arts. Even if it cannot be eternal, it can be immortal, but they are all greedy for temporary joy. They do not know that only the strength in their hands can truly protect themselves, and they do not know that their current behavior is actually "inducing the wolf into the house" to perish."
While speaking, Liu Ruohan couldn't help but look at Qiu Yun, with a hint of seriousness and expectation in his expression.
What happened to the Ma family this time was naturally arranged and guided by Qiu Yun and the other two. Otherwise, a mere scholar, even a disciple of a wealthy family, would definitely not do this, and would not encounter such good things.
Of course, the merchant family, and even the woman who used the "beauty trick", were not three people in battle. To "defend" such "ordinary people" with little knowledge, naturally, the three people could not appear in person.
In fact, the three of them did not step into the town at this time, not because they were worried about anything, but because they were completely unnecessary.
This scene really doesn't require the three of them to invest any effort, just let the painted ghost perform on his own.
After all, according to the previous plan, the beginning is not the key, the key lies in the future.
"Ruo Sister Han said this. Therefore, I think that for me, strength is the most important thing. Only when I am strong enough can I truly grasp everything I have. Unfortunately, even if I have the ‘opportunity’, there are too many people like the Ma family. I can control my strength and control my own destiny, but I ignore the ‘opportunity’ and instead be greedy for this instant entertainment. If there is a real end, I can only blame myself."
Shaking his head slightly, Qiu Yun also agreed very much that the Ma family was the target he was looking for, but in fact it was not the only target. There were many goals that met. The Ma family was not specifically designated, but chose it at will.
This is a blame for the Ma family's bad fate, but it is even more blame for themselves not even knowing how to grasp their own destiny.
This plane of Liaozhai is obviously not an ordinary plane. It has monsters, demons, ghosts, monsters, and also has magical methods and killing methods. For ordinary people, not to mention practicing, it is not easy to find the other party, but for wealthy families, it is actually not difficult to find the real method of cultivation.
In the Liaozhai plane, the view of the door is not too serious. Many practitioners are willing to include a large number of disciples and cultivate those with extraordinary talent.
But in any case, practicing is inevitable to endure hardship. As for staying away from family members, it is even more natural to be aware of precepts, fame, precepts, and profits in this plane. Therefore, for most people, especially wealthy people, they have no interest in practicing any Taoism.
This is in line with the usual "definition" of those stupid people.
Liu Ruohan, Liu Ruoxue doesn't like this person, and Qiu Yun doesn't even like him, and doesn't even want to comment on it.
"This time it's a blessing for Sister Ruohan. If you just use Ruoxue's spiritual technique, you won't be able to truly subdue the monster without torture it a few times. However, although this kind of ability is a bit useless, it is not very consistent with Sister Ruohan's fighting method. I'm afraid you can't use it at all when you really fight. Why do you still have to practice specifically?"
At this time, the drama did not start, and the plan was really implemented according to the steps, and there was no need to act rushing. Qiu Yun was considered free to ask questions.
In fact, this is also considered Qiu Yun's long-standing doubt. He once asked, so he knew that Liu Ruoxue's spiritual skills were also specially used to practice. As for the specific reason, Liu Ruoxue didn't explain it clearly, and only said that it was Liu Ruoxeng that allowed her to enrich her abilities.
Liu Ruoxue is usually calm and naturally will not resist such things. However, spiritual practice is indeed practiced, but it is entirely due to the help of the system. Liu Ruoxue herself does not practice at all, and even uses it very few times. Even if she really encounters a place where spiritual practice can be used, she will only be able to slash with one sword.
Liu Ruoxue is a sword cultivator.
Therefore, Qiu Yun could not get the exact answer from Liu Ruoxue, so he naturally did not waste time and energy development horizontally, but he was confused in his heart. Now that he had the opportunity, Qiu Yun naturally asked casually.
"The real world emphasizes division of labor and cooperation, not to mention how hard you work, you have more ability to practice, but you can't compare with those who are truly specialized. This is an undesirable practice for most people. With a system, "specialization" is far stronger than a comprehensive mastery of various abilities. As for relying on the "system" to fully master and truly master various abilities, it is a joke, because its negative effect takes a long time. Even if the time required for a single item is relatively small, the number of comprehensive involvement will still be mediocre, which is actually not desirable. The same is true for me. I have learned this kind of abilities, but I just read it and it is basically useless."
After a pause, Liu Ruohan was naturally willing to explain to Qiu Yun when he saw that he was indeed listening attentively.
"When you reach a certain level of practice, even if you have a master apprenticeship system, the learning of various powerful swordsmanship will be subject to various restrictions. After all, the master apprenticeship system is fundamentally an auxiliary system and cannot be truly against the will of heaven. The so-called "limitation" is even simpler, but that is, those abilities are no longer limited to themselves. All kinds of spiritual and Taoist techniques need to be involved before they can improve themselves through the system. Well, this approach is actually a kind of protection for ourselves. After all, according to normal circumstances, forcing those extra abilities to be learned is not enough to use. If used forcibly, it will inevitably cause a huge backlash, so there are not many people who die."
Nodding slightly, Qiu Yun naturally understood what Liu Ruohan meant. It turned out that it was because of this, and that he was laying the foundation for the future in advance.
Whether it is Liu Ruohan or Liu Ruoxue, they have not defined themselves in low-level or intermediate-level planes from the beginning. Their goal should be to top-level planes and become real strong people.
Similarly, Qiu Yun could understand that Liu Ruohan also had the intention to remind himself at this time. After all, now he basically only knows how to use physical skills. The path is too narrow. If he continues, it is very likely that he will make up for his foundation again. The time and energy he will take may be fine, but if he misses the "opportunity", he will really lose something.
"Brother Yun, the ghost of the painted skin has started to take action. But she obviously did not obey our instructions. She aimed at other people from the beginning, and the target was not alone. I'm afraid that a few people will enter the cycle of reincarnation just tonight."
Liu Ruoxue was not interested in what Qiu Yun and Liu Ruohan said. For her, as long as she knew what her kendo needed, she would naturally find and obtain it for her kendo.
"The reason why that monster did this is very likely because we forced her to force her to be fierce before. At this time, the monster was no longer just using the help of yang energy to practice, but directly plundering qi and blood through killing people, trying to maximize their strength in the shortest time. I'm afraid there is still a backlash to our minds."
The monster was talking about the ghost of the painting. As for whether this ghost of the painting should be the "original plot" Qiu Yun didn't know that he just found it directly through the information collected by the inn and asked Liu Ruohan to capture it and subdue it.
This time, Liu Ruohan took action personally. Setting up a ban can not only make the ghost painted in ashes at any time, but also directly erase his consciousness and control it himself.
But Qiu Yun did not do this, even though he knew that the ghost was acting, he still had no idea of doing this.
Although the purpose of Qiu Yun and his men was to make the painted ghost an "actor", as long as what they do not exceed a certain range, Qiu Yun and the others will not interfere with it.
Qiu Yun and the others said that they hoped to use the interpretation and development of this "story" to trigger this plane to establish connections with other planes to accelerate the promotion of planes.
As for the "care and casualties" caused by this, Qiu Yun can only say that this is inevitable, or that it is already destined after making a decision from the beginning.
This is also the reason why Liu Ruohan and Qiu Yun sighed just now. If it weren’t for the “opportunity” of system and time travel in the real world, if it weren’t for the fact that they chose to continuously enhance themselves, then would there be one day like these people, and their destiny would be completely in control?
The real world is very safe, but this security is not based on one's own strength, and it cannot be considered truly safe after all.
What's more, even in the real world, whether to dare to take plane adventures is also a huge gap between the strong and the weak.
At this moment, after hearing Liu Ruoxue's words, Qiu Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
