Old Huo looked carefully for a good while: "It's just gone."
When An Zheng lowered his head, he suddenly realized that his bracelet was a little strange. He took a closer look and noticed that there were some small words on one of the beads that had yet to be opened. It was too small, so he could not read it carefully.
An Zheng lifted his hand and carefully studied it for a good while, he could vaguely make out four words, but he could not figure out what those four words meant. Old Huo saw that his brows were furrowed, and took his hand to look at it. He stared at the four words for a very long time before being able to understand them clearly. These were four small ancient seal characters. They were complex to begin with, and with the addition of their small size, it was truly difficult to recognize.
The four words were … Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish, Beiming fish
Chapter 63 - Even if it were to die, it would not fall
Until now, the thing that An Zheng did not understand the most was his Blood Pearl Bracelet. The bracelet was now a heavy purple color, similar to the ones that had been playing on a tray for a long time, but a little brighter. Right now, there were only two beads active on the bracelet, one of them containing the medicinal field. When An Zheng gets injured or progress, the medicinal field will provide him with protection and treatment.
The other bead didn't seem to be of much use, it was just a storage space that could store some things.
Now that the third bead had changed, if he did not see those small words, An Zheng would not feel it at all, nor would he notice it.
"Strange."
The Old Huo also did not seem to understand. "Could the words on this bead have something to do with the fish scale flying in by itself? But once the pearl is opened, you should be able to feel it. "
An Zheng said: "I don't feel anything at all."
Old Huo laughed: "Then go and explain it to the people from Old Hunters. Take away their treasures and see how they listen to your explanation."
An Zheng stood up: "Even if you don't listen, I still have to explain, I'm really not in the mood to take that half piece of fish scale."
He asked the Old Huo, "What does Darknorth have fish for?"
Old Huo shook his head. "Think about it carefully.
An Zheng had no choice but to explain it to Gu Qianye first, although he knew that it would be troublesome to explain.
"That blue cloth."
Old Huo shouted from behind An Zheng: "Don't use it anymore."
An Zheng's footsteps paused: "What is that?"
The Old Huo replied, "I have been searching for ancient records on this. I only found the answer to it after you left. This thing isn't a magic artefact, it's a magic artefact … It was hard to say what they were, because their only use was dealing with the dead. Why did the good old man recognize this? Because the good old man itself... "
Old Huo paused for a moment as if he was hesitating.
An Zheng nodded: "I know, good old man is a type of demon beast."
Old Huo made a sound of acknowledgement, "The Eye of Nine Incarnations of good old man is precisely searching for treasures. No matter who the previous Eye of Nine Incarnations belonged to, they had all entered countless tombs or treasures. And in this kind of place, there would usually be a dead person protected by some sort of control. That blue cloth was commonly known as the corpse wrapping cloth, and it also had a name, Enchantment Cloth. It was specially created to deal with the dead. good old man felt that the Enchantment Cloth was very close, maybe it was the previous owner of the Eye of Nine Incarnations, and had even fought alongside this Enchantment Cloth.
An Zheng nodded and did not say anything else. It was rumored that the Eye of Nine Incarnations would never perish. Maybe the good old man wasn't a natural born Eye of Nine Incarnations, maybe it was, but no matter what, it still had some memories of its previous life.
When An Zheng walked past the classroom, he saw Qu Liuxi feeding good old man pastries made from medicinal herbs. good old man's physique was too weak, it needed to be improved in order for him to awaken further. And only when the Eye of Nine Incarnations awaken would good old man's body become stronger. This was a knot that could not be untied, so if he wanted the good old man to protect him, he would have to rely on a large number of medicinal ingredients or crystal cores of magical beasts to improve his physique.
When Qu Liuxi saw An Zheng, her face flushed red, and she turned her head not looking at him.
An Zheng walked to the side of the training grounds and sat down opposite of Gu Qianye. Who knew what Gu Qianye had said to her subordinates before, but when the rough men of Old Hunters saw An Zheng, they all giggled. When An Zheng sat down, they all got up and went to other places.
"Have you decided?"
Gu Qianye asked.
An Zheng countered with a question, "What did you think?"
Gu Qianye said: "Have you decided on coming back with me?"
An Zheng nodded: "I have already thought about it, I absolutely will not return with you. Although... Although I lost your fish scales, perhaps it hid itself somewhere, but I really can't find it. I can do my best to compensate you with something else until you are satisfied. "
Gu Qianye pursed her lips: "You, if I give you to me, I won't care about the fish scales."
An Zheng shook his head: "Speak of the serious. I am more skilled in appraising treasures, if you are willing, I will help you guys appraise treasures from now on. If I find anything that you can use, I'll send it over. "
However, Gu Qianye didn't care about what An Zheng said at all. Instead, he supported her chin with her hand and stared straight at An Zheng: "I don't care about those, I only care about you."
"Fox spirit!"
Qu Liuxi suddenly ran over, pulled An Zheng and walked back: "Let's ignore her!"
An Zheng laughed bitterly: "But I owe them something..."
Du Shoushou also ran over: "Even if you owe me something, it's not worth it."
An Zheng: "Shut up …"
Gu Qianye laughed and shouted from behind: "I'm not in a hurry, I will wait for your answer. From today onwards, I will be staying with you. I will follow whatever you do. I'll follow you wherever you go. "Little sister Liuxi, I'll sleep in the same room with you tonight."
Qu Liuxi covered her ears. "No, no, no."
Although he was young, it was clear that Qu Liuxi could not win against him in terms of techniques. One had a thin skin, the other was a mischievous person. The former often suffered losses.
No one would have thought that Gu Qianye wasn't joking. She only left Gu Man and a maid who were about the same age as her, and let all the people from the Old Hunters return. When the men left, they respectfully bowed towards An Zheng and spoke a lot of Old Hunters languages in a mumble. did not understand a single word. Du Shoushou crouched down and translated in a serious tone, "Male master, we are about to leave. Treat our female master well. If you don't treat her well, we'll castrate you when we get back. "
An Zheng glared at him, causing Du Shoushou to laugh: "It seems like I'm also a member of the Heaven's Mandate, to actually understand."
With Gu Qianye here, the people of the Heavenly Enlightenment Martial Academy started to feel uneasy in their cultivation. Originally, at night, they could have entered the Heaven Defying Seal to cultivate. With Gu Qianye present, An Zheng did not dare to reveal the miracle of the Heaven Defying Seal.
Strangely, Gu Qianye did not care about what An Zheng and the others were doing. An Zheng brought Du Shoushou and Xiao Qi Dao to cultivate, while she sat not too far away and watched with his two beautiful legs, smiling from time to time.
"The so called cultivation. A simple explanation is expansion."
An Zheng stood on the martial ground, facing Du Shoushou and the other two, and sat down on a small stool, l
istening attentively to the lecture.
An Zheng continued: "Increase the capacity of your Dantian Qi Sea. Every time he increased his cultivation base, it would be a type of expansion. The advancement of one's cultivation was one's performance, while cultivation was one's accumulation. We will continuously cultivate, accumulate our strength in the Dantian Qi Sea, and then attack. After repeating this process over and over again, one would be able to progress further. The amount of Dantian Qi Sea s needed to break through to the Primordial Realm isn't too big, but you all possess great talents, so your rate of progress will not be very slow. "
"However, don't be hasty."
An Zheng said: "Don't think that being fast is a good thing. Thus, sometimes cultivators feel that they are on the verge of advancing, and they will suppress it and allow their energy to accumulate even more. "
Xiao Qi Dao shook his head, "But what should I do?"
An Zheng laughed: "As for you, let nature take its course."
Du Shoushou was unconvinced: "Why so? Is the difference in talent really that big?"
An Zheng grunted. There was something he couldn't explain to Du Shoushou. Before Xiao Qi Dao left, he told An Zheng that he was not one of the six … It was destiny.
An Zheng had met a person who was destined for life before, and that person was still a thorn in An Zheng's heart.
An Zheng asked the Xiao Qi Dao and the others to cultivate properly, then he sat down cross-legged on the martial arena and recuperated his breathing. Opening the gates was a difficult task for him, so he treasured cultivation greatly. Ever since the door was opened, An Zheng's cultivation felt smooth, but for some reason, he did not feel anything. According to common sense, as long as one opened the door to cultivate and continued using the Cultivation Power, they would be able to breakthrough.
However, ever since he fought with the people from the academy, he had become a Tier 3 Magical Rank. Even now, he had not been able to level up. He could feel the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi being sucked into his body. He had obviously entered the Dantian Qi Sea, but he couldn't feel anything at all. It was as if the Dantian Qi Sea was still empty and could not feel the accumulation of energy at all.
At night, An Zheng told everyone to go to sleep first.
An Zheng was bored, he sat on the steps and chatted with the Old Huo.
"I always felt that you weren't some sort of Divine Inheritor."
Old Huo glanced at An Zheng: "What kind of past do you have?"
An Zheng laughed: Bribe me, bribe me, I will tell you.
As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a ruckus in the academy, followed by the collapse of the three-story wooden building.
An Zheng stood up fiercely, and saw a few people rushing out of the Academy while supporting Qiu Changchen. Behind them, a dozen or so red-robed men were in hot pursuit. There were only four or five people left who were originally Qiu Changchen's bodyguards. Under the moonlight, the red gowns of those people were particularly eye-catching. Directly in front of their red robes was the image of a huge sun.
The red robed man at the very front waved his hand, and hundreds of beams of light shot down from the sky like a rain of arrows.
"Saber Formation!"
The four or five Tie Liuhuo cavalry soldiers protected Qiu Changchen in the middle, the long blade in their hands chopped down like lightning. They blocked many streams of light, but the difference in strength was too great. In the end, they were all nailed to the ground. Those streams of light were all sharp blades that were like the wings of cicadas, and their corpses were cut into pieces very quickly.
"Good brother!"
Qiu Changchen used his pike and stabbed it into the ground, shouting as he looked at his subordinates, his eyes filled with tears.
An Zheng immediately stood up and waved his hand, summoning the Bronze Bell from his palm. However, just as he was about to take action, he saw Qiu Changchen shake his head at him. Then, Qiu Changchen suddenly laughed loudly. Tie Liuhuo, kill! "
He was heavily injured, yet he still charged back.
Just at this time, a voice sounded in An Zheng's mind: "An Zheng, I hope you can consider what I have said. If you are willing in the future, please join my great swallow army. Today, you cannot take action. The people who have come are the people of the Youguo, and you are not their match. Forcing yourself to take action will only bring about trouble for you. In the future, you have to be careful, these people are people that Zhen Zhuangbi brought over … From now on, the academy might not be at peace with any of you. I'm not here, so be careful. "
When An Zheng heard these words, he was stunned for a moment. In that moment, Qiu Changchen had already returned.
With an unstoppable force, the shining lance stabbed straight towards the red-robed man who was at the front to death.
"I, Qiu Changchen, join the army and fight countless of enemies on the battlefield. "After staying in the academyhee would be carefree and happy. He had slept for countless times and at the last moment in his life, she would have to kill a few more enemies to get rid of them. It's worth it!"
He picked up the corpse of his enemy and threw it heavily onto the ground. The opposing red robed men started to make their moves, countless flowing lights shot out, like bullets, they shot through Qiu Changchen's body. On his back, blood mist exploded one after another.
Qiu Changchen looked up: "Kill!"
He threw the long lance out, and the huge pike directly smashed through the two red robed men, shattering their bodies.
Qiu Changchen's body stood there, swaying, but he did not collapse.
"Born a male great swallow … "I have no regrets in this life."
He just stood there, dead. His eyes weren't closed as he coldly looked at the surrounding red-robed men.
An Zheng clenched his fists tightly, and an unspeakable pain arose in his heart.
He didn't have any relationship with Qiu Changchen, so it couldn't be said that they were familiar with each other. However, he knew that if not for Qiu Changchen, Zhen Zhuangbi would have already attacked the Academy. The State of Yan and the Youguo had always been incompatible, these experts from the Youguo were sent by Zhen Zhuangbi. To kill a deputy general of Tie Liuhuo, it was already worth it for the people of the Youguo to travel thousands of miles to arrive here. An Zheng felt his heart bleeding, but he could not take action because there was still the Old Huo behind him, there was Du Shoushou, Qu Liuxi, Mad Qu, and the Xiao Qi Dao.
"Bring the Beheading Level back."
The red robed man in the lead ordered, and then someone came over and hacked Qiu Changchen's head off.
"Great Nether Meeting will remember your contribution."
That person turned his head to look at Zhen Zhuangbi and said a few words, then disappeared in a flash.
Chapter 64 - A decisive battle that is impossible for both sides
An Zheng stood at the entrance of the Martial Academy for a long time, that skinny figure of his looked like a lonely tree.
He pushed open the door of the dojo. Old Huo stood up and pulled him, but he did not stop him.
Zhen Zhuangbi hid in the darkness for a long time before daring to come out. Then, he walked over to Qiu Changchen's headless body and cursed a few times;
Then, Zhen Zhuangbi saw An Zheng walk towards the academy, step by step. He was a little nervous, and looked down at the thing in his hand with a little more confidence. It was something that Mu Changyan had left behind, and it was said that it had come from a great swallow. Zhen Zhuangbi had seen Mu Changyan use it before. Previously, he had borrowed it from Qiu Changchen a few times, but Qiu Changchen was unwilling to do so. At this moment, An Zheng walked over step by step. That short figure was like a huge mountain, moving towards him bit by bit and pressing down on Zhen Zhuangbi's heart.
"You … What are you doing!? "
Zhen Zhuangbi hoarsely shouted.
"Kill you."
An Zheng said: "Principal Qiu told me that those people cannot attack me
while I am still with them, because I am not their match."
Zhen Zhuangbi held onto the treasure, but still took a step back: "You think you can still threaten me?"
An Zheng stopped midway and turned back again.
Zhen Zhuangbi heaved a sigh of relief, "I knew you wouldn't dare. From today onwards, you will not have a good life without the protection of that bastard Qiu Changchen. I will sell you all to be slaves outside the mountains, and women to be sold to brothels. "
An Zheng walked back to the dojo and rang the bell.
Du Shoushou and the rest were still sleeping. When everyone woke up, they did not know what had happened.
Du Shoushou rubbed his eyes as he walked out. He was the last one, even the Xiao Qi Dao reacted faster than him.
An Zheng stood at the door and watched them, his expression solemn.
Gu Qianye pushed open the window. She was wearing a pajamas and looked a little thin. She was very curious about what An Zheng was doing by ringing the bell in the middle of the night.
"There is one thing I might have to ask for your opinion on."
An Zheng remained silent for a while, before saying: "According to our original plan, we would be going to the capital city of the great swallow only after three years. But right now, I have to discuss this with you. After tonight, we might have to leave the Fantasy City. Go to great swallow, go to Fanggu. If you think you're not ready, then I'll give up and go somewhere else. "
Qu Liuxi's eyes were drowsy but she felt An Zheng's seriousness: "I'll listen to you, but it also depends on Xiao Qi Dao's decision."
Xiao Qi Dao nodded: "Although I don't know what Big Brother An Zheng wants to do, I'll listen to you. No matter what decision Big Brother An Zheng makes, Xiao Qi Dao will follow you. "
Old Huo pulled An Zheng back, "You can't."
An Zheng shook his head: "I can … Although I didn't agree to Dean Qiu's request, he still brought up something before he died: He wanted me to join the great swallow's military academy. I hadn't thought about it before, but now I had to. The Great Mother Ye obviously didn't want the people of the State of Yan to know about his identity. However, with Principal Qiu dead, the State of Yan will definitely send someone to investigate. Maybe they will find out, or maybe they won't be able to find out. "
