Chapter 417 The
north wind whistled through the sky with snowflakes in it. Li looked up at the bad weather and frowned unhappily.
Going to the Huodu Dojo to attend classes in such weather would inevitably make his clothes wet, and he would have to attend classes with a wet body.
Thinking in his heart, he looked up at the patrolman at the town entrance, tightened the wooden box made of wood strips and hemp ropes on his back, and walked out of the town among the crowd.
When passing the town gate, he looked up and smiled widely.
"Li, going to the dojo again?"
The patrolman was obviously familiar with Li and called out his name.
"Yes, there is a class with Senior Brother Ling today."
He replied with a smile, and turned around as if he was going to open the wooden box behind him for inspection, but the patrolman waved his hands.
"Hurry up and go to class. The wind and snow are so strong. I envy Huo for having the Spring Totem."
The patrolman stopped him and said as he waved to him to let him go.
He nodded obediently, put the wooden box on his back and said goodbye.
There was no wall outside Genzhen to block the wind and snow. The wind and snow suddenly became much stronger. He hurriedly released the totem power to block the wind and snow.
His totem power belongs to the power of the ox totem. This kind of power has great resilience and defense, and it can also increase strength. It is suitable for traveling in the wind and snow.
As he walked forward, he would occasionally convert his totem power into the totem power of the Sun Tribe to make his body warmer, and then he would convert it back into the totem power of the Ox Tribe.
In this way, he walked westward against the wind and snow. The weak Ko was still a little shaky in the wind and snow, but he was obviously used to it. He could regain his balance and move forward.
He didn't know how long he had walked, but the wind and snow suddenly became much smaller. He knew that he had arrived at the Fire City. He
looked up and saw the Fire City with a three-meter-high wall in the distance. There was no wind or snow at a distance outside the wall.
This was the power of the Spring Totem. It made the Fire Tribe warm as spring, and not affected by the ice age.
Arriving at the foot of the city, he saw a patrolman from Huodu in front of the city gate. He put a smile on his face again and walked towards him.
"Our captain is giving a lecture today, why are you here so late?"
The patrolman obviously recognized him, and also recognized the Ling he mentioned.
"The wind and snow were a bit strong, and I fell down, so I came late."
He said with a smile, and at the same time, he turned sideways to unload the box on his back.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't delay if you are almost late."
He nodded gratefully and walked quickly towards Huodu.
Entering Huodu, a surging flow of people appeared in front of him. Not only is it spring-like here all year round, but it is also full of light because of the many totem fires, and it is not affected by the wind and snow at all.
He entered the crowd and followed the flow of people. Soon he saw a huge gate wall. There was a plaque on the gate wall with the word "Daochang" written on it.
He paused for a while, then started to move forward again. He turned at the intersection in front, turned around on the street, and stopped in front of a larger courtyard.
The street was a bit dark. There was a lush willow tree beside the street. As soon as he arrived, a figure flashed behind the willow tree.
The man was wearing a linen robe and had a fat face. He looked rich.
"Why are you here so late? My guests have all arrived."
The fat middle-aged man said, and he walked up to open the box behind him and took out a huge jar from it.
Li allowed him to do what he wanted, and watched him open the lid of the jar and take a whiff, squinting his eyes with an intoxicated look.
A scent of wine floated out of the lid, and Li swallowed his saliva.
The obese middle-aged man immediately closed the lid after he became intoxicated, and looked around vigilantly for a while. He held the jar in his arms only after making sure that no one was paying attention.
"This is for you. Bring more next time."
The obese middle-aged man took out a string of copper coins from his clothes and put it in Li's hand and said.
"It's not good recently. The supervision is too strict. Two black water factories in Gen Town have been inspected, and the rest have been closed."
Li shook his head and rejected the obese middle-aged man.
The man was stunned, with a knot on his face. After a long time, he spoke: "Don't you have connections in Kunzhen? Go there and get it for me. I'll give you half the price."
He immediately shook his head: "I'm not that familiar with Kunzhen. It's too risky to bring black water out. It's not easy to bring."
He said it was not easy to bring, but he didn't say it couldn't be brought. The shrewd fat man immediately grasped the key point of what the little guy said.
The fat on his face trembled, and the fat man said with some pain: "Double it."
He shook his head and stood there quietly without saying anything.
"Double."
The fat man's heart was bleeding.
There was hesitation on his face, but then he changed to a firm expression and said: "The risk is too great, let's forget it. The price is too high, and it's not suitable for you."
The fat man felt that his eyes were a little dark. If he hadn't been holding the black water jar in his hand, he estimated that he would have sat down on the ground.
This kid in front of him was still not satisfied.
"Three times, three times, are you satisfied?"
He said in a low roar. If he was not afraid of being heard by others, he would have cursed out loud.
"Okay, even if I risk my skin being peeled off, I will help you make another pot, just one pot."
The fat man's face trembled again. This kid said nice things, just to increase the price next time. When will this damn prohibition be lifted?
After watching Hao leave, the fat man looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to him before he bent over and ran back to his yard.
Hao left here, and the burden on his shoulders was immediately lightened. With a cheerful smile on his face, he trotted towards the dojo.
When he entered the dojo, everyone was wearing linen shirts. Hao would come forward and say hello to those he knew.
He was sweet-talking and had many acquaintances. He greeted no less than 20 people along the way to his class.
He arrived at his class, a courtyard with an open space in the middle. Many teenagers like him, about 12 or 13 years old, gathered here.
"Kei, why are you late again?"
A fat boy asked quietly when he saw him sneaking in.
"Something delayed me."
He just said what he had done and asked quietly, "Where were you?"
"Senior Brother Ling just arrived, and we haven't started yet."
The fat boy said, and just as he saw Senior Brother Ling standing in the middle looking at him, he quickly shut up.
Kei also stood straight, his eyes never squinting, and he looked like this since he was born.
Senior Brother Ling's sharp eyes lingered on him for a moment, and then he stopped paying attention to them.
"There are two ways to make the transformation between totem powers fast and smooth. The first is to practice more and pay attention to some small tricks, but the second is not a public secret. What I want to talk about today is this part of knowledge."
Senior Brother Ling talked about the secret at the beginning, and many students immediately widened their eyes and waited quietly.
The fat boy and Ke were no exception, especially Ke, whose eyes flashed with a scorching light and a focused look appeared on his face.
"Using fire totem power or fire-like totem power as one of the two powers can make the transformation between totem powers smooth."
This answer immediately caused discussions below.
People whispered to the classmates around them, especially those who had one of the two totem powers, the fire totem power, and were questioned by several people.
But most of them had never used other totem powers, so they didn't know how fast other totem powers could be converted, and there was no answer for a while.
On the contrary, a thoughtful expression appeared on Li's face.
He was originally from the Stag Tribe, and later he obtained the power of the Bull Totem in order to transport black water, but he always felt that this power was not smooth enough, so he gave up the power of his tribe and obtained the Sun Totem power, which was more resistant to the cold.
During this period, his power was the Bull and the Stag, and another period was the Bull and the Sun. He could clearly feel that the latter power conversion was smoother and faster.
"Brother Ling, which powers are the Fire Totem powers?"
Li put aside his thoughts and raised his hand to ask.
His words attracted the attention of the students, and everyone's discussion gradually disappeared, looking at Brother Ling.
"First there was the fire totem, then there was Tai Chi. Tai Chi has yin and yang, which are represented by the totem power of the sun and moon."
The students nodded slowly to show that they understood, and Senior Brother Ling continued.
"There are eight kinds of power in the Bagua space. Although they are difficult to obtain and require qualifications and understanding, they are also fire totem-like powers."
Everyone suddenly realized that this was something they didn't know.
"Are there only these ten?"
Seeing that Senior Brother Ling didn't say anything, someone asked curiously.
"The six generations of witch clothing inherited by the Xingchen tribe can also be considered one kind."
Everyone's eyes swept to a girl among the students. The girl lowered her head shyly. She was a member of the Xingchen tribe.
"Anything else?"
The students were curious and couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Yes, the Code Tribe has inherited five generations of witch clothing, which is also considered the same."
This time, no one looked around. The Code Tribe has always been aloof, and few people from their tribe go out to study. Even if they study, they are in separate classes and it is impossible for them to enter their class.
"I only know these twelve, and I don't know the rest."
Brother Ling saw that another student wanted to ask, so he took the initiative to speak.
This sentence successfully shut the students up and made them quiet down.
"Now I will talk about the skills of switching. First of all, the second totem ability we get is a gift from the fire totem. The gift is in the thick fog and phantom that we can't see behind us. If we want to use it quickly, we should move slightly backwards at the moment of switching..."
Senior Brother Ling began to talk about his little tricks, and the students below listened carefully.
This is a warrior who has participated in the hunting team of ferocious beasts. These little tricks can save their lives at critical moments, so they can't afford to be careless.
He also listened carefully, and he had already taken out a beast skin in his hand, and used the power of the totem to write down what he thought was important on it.
This is not totem text, but just a way to use the power of the totem, but looking at other students who use charcoal, you will know that it is not easy to do so.
The fat boy even looked at Ke with envy. Among the people he knew, only Ke could use the power of totems so delicately.
No, besides Ke, there was also that perverted guy: Xin.
