Chapter 117: Women are not allowed to stay in college

"We're almost in Liangzhou!"

Li Qianzong rode his horse and rushed to announce: "There is only one more section of the journey left, and then everyone can rest now!"

"It's finally here."

Chen Sanshi lay on Qianxun's horsehair, flipping through a book boredly.

He is not tired.

The main reason is that I have been on the road all the time and haven’t had much time to practice martial arts, so I am really anxious.

[Kung Fu: Unified Spear Technique (Mastery)]

【Progress: 168/1000】

After such a long time, even with the White Swan Horse's swift speed, the gain was only this little.

This is only possible with the presence of Linghe, otherwise the speed would be much slower.

The book Chen Sanshi was holding was a banned book among the people. He got it from Fang Qingyun. It was called "Record of Sects in the World", which recorded some major sects in the world.

In the small county of Poyang, there are four major martial arts schools that act arbitrarily and domineeringly.

Naturally, similar organizations also exist in larger cities.

It’s just that it’s no longer called a “martial arts school” but a “sect”.

Chen Sanshi summarized.

The sects in this world have largely replaced the aristocratic families in the world where cultivation is not allowed, and are an extremely influential force.

Moreover, the history in "Records of Sects in the World" is quite different from that in "Book of Great Prosperity".

The "Book of Great Sheng" mainly records how brave and invincible Taizu Cao Xie was and how great the contributions and hard work of the founding heroes were, but the clans were only briefly mentioned.

But it’s different in the “Record of Sects in the World”.

It says here that Cao Xie had the opportunity to unify the world only because he had the full support of the 36 major sects in the world. Three hundred years ago, some sects even had their own fiefdoms, which were almost equivalent to vassal kings.

But Cao Xie was a cruel person.

Less than five years after he ascended the throne, he marched across the world and wiped out the forces of several of the largest sects. Afterwards, he suppressed the sects, restricted the number of disciples, and limited the level of cultivation.

This situation was not improved until the Yuan'an Restoration.

Until now, every time there is a war, disciples of the sect need to be dispatched to participate in the battle. They have gained some status, but it is very limited and still falls within the category of aristocratic families. No sect or school can become a force to be reckoned with alone.

It is worth noting that.

There are two major sects in Liangzhou that possess Martial Saints.

One is the Tiantong Sword Sect, and the other is the Pi Yue Villa.

Apart from ordinary sects, there is a mysterious sect in the world that interests Chen Sanshi very much.

Xunxian Tower.

This building is mysterious and has been passed down for thousands of years, but it rarely appears, even when dynasties change.

Their only purpose is to search for immortals. They can be considered an organization that transcends worldly desires.

Then there is the Wushen Cult.

It is rumored that thousands of years ago, the Witch God of the Witch God Cult ascended and left. The purpose of their believers is to find the way to the fairyland and then continue to follow the Witch God.

Supporting the Yuwen clan was only to build up their own power to serve the search for immortal traces. They coveted the fertile land of the Central Plains, and also because the Central Plains had many talented people and beautiful scenery, making it easier to find immortal traces.

It seems that the real top people are practicing Taoism.

And Chen Sanshi is still practicing martial arts.

The gap between them is as huge as heaven and earth.

It was really a good decision to come to the Governor's Mansion.

There are many Martial Saints in the world today, but those above Martial Saints are still rare.

If you enter the Governor's Mansion and reach the threshold, you are likely to receive guidance.

Following the Emperor...

Don't think about it.

The fact that his surname is not "Cao" alone sets the upper limit.

The emperor was so afraid of Sun Xiangzong, how could he possibly train another Chen Sanshi?

At last.

The sect records also record a special physique for practicing martial arts, the Yixing Xuanti.

People with this physique are no different from ordinary people before they start practicing martial arts, but once they start practicing martial arts, no matter what technique they practice, over time they will transform their bodies into the physique that best suits the technique they practice. People with a shape-changing mysterious body will be able to reach the realm of a Martial Saint as long as they have enough resources!
Therefore, the Shape-changing Mysterious Body and several other rare physiques such as the Hunyuan Tyrant Body are collectively referred to as the Innate Martial Saint's Body.

"I am the innate martial saint body?"

When Chen Sanshi saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He did not doubt that he could become a Martial Saint. After all, with the proficiency panel and Linghe, it was only a matter of time.

But he didn't expect that the changes brought to him by the panel were not illogical.

It turned out to be a shape-changing mysterious body!
During the whole journey, Chen Sanshi was still worried about the mixed constitution of his body. What if it was discovered when his bones were touched? It seemed that he was too worried.

[Skill: Reading (minor achievement)]

[Progress: (496/800)]

He closed the book and looked up.

At the end of the road ahead, a city gradually emerged from the horizon. The city was very small, even smaller than Poyang County. Above the city gate were written three big characters "Dongyi City".

This place is only ten miles away from Liangzhou City, but strangely enough it is surrounded by heavy troops.

On the military flag, there is a striking mark of "Xuanwu Camp".

Wang Zhi was stunned and had a strange feeling in his heart.

Chen Sanshi asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Master Chen doesn't know."

Li Qianzong said in a relaxed tone: "We were dealing with the barbarians a while ago. We were short of manpower, so we temporarily called on the sect disciples to help defend the city. As a result, this "Seven Absolute Sect" actually colluded with the barbarians to commit treason and attempted to cooperate with the barbarians to take over Liangzhou.

"Of course this was wishful thinking. As soon as he started, he was suppressed by General Lu. Later, he led 1,500 disciples to hide in Dongyi City.

"Dongyi City and Xiyi City are two citadels of Liangzhou City, which are specially used to station troops. There are no civilians in them, and there are not many food and grass stored. In addition, now that the war is over, there is no rush to deal with them. Let's surround them first.

"Our commander-in-chief's strategy for deploying troops has always been to minimize casualties."

Chen Sanshi nodded.

This is true.

Even if there are only a thousand people, there will be heavy casualties if they forcefully attack the city.

There was not much food and grass in the city, so if they delayed further, they would only have two choices: 1. Open the gate and surrender, 2. Starve to death.

"Give Junior Brother a hint of the question in advance."

Fang Qingyun was pushed over by Sun Li and said slowly:
"This 'Seven Absolute Sect' is only a second-rate sect in Liangzhou. The reason why Master has kept them until now is that he wanted to use them as a test for the selection of elites. We will see how the test will be carried out when the time comes." "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother."

Chen Sanshi thanked him.

"In fact, it's not a leak. Many people already know it. It's only fair to tell you."

Fang Qingyun made a gesture of invitation: "I wonder if I could ask Junior Brother to lend me a hand to talk for a moment?"

"Why not?"

Chen Sanshi got off the horse, took the wheelchair from Sun Li, and pushed it to the woods on the side of the road: "Brother, what advice do you have?"

"this is for you."

Fang Qingyun took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said, "Within two months, if you feel unwell, drink this with water. If you are fine, just throw it away and pretend nothing happened."

Chen Sanshi opened the porcelain bottle and found black medicine powder inside.

【Antidote for the Green Blood Poison Dew】

Antidote.

Yes.

It is very likely that General Sun knew that the emperor had poisoned him.

He had been told to do so, and it was obvious that the antidote had already been prepared.

It just wasn't said explicitly.

And he said he would drink it again in two months. Was he waiting for the emperor to give him the antidote? If he did, he would pretend nothing had happened.

Are you doing this to prevent him from becoming enemies with the emperor?

"I know."

Chen Sanshi didn't ask any more questions.

"Well, nothing else."

Fang Qingyun said softly: "Thank you for pushing me back, Junior Brother. We are about to reach Liangzhou."

……

Ten miles later.

A huge city came into view.

The city is 20 feet high, and the city wall is estimated to be more than 50 feet thick. At first glance, it is almost impossible to see the edge of the city. It looks like a giant stone beast crawling on the wilderness.

It is the most important pass in the north, Liangzhou City.

"Open the city gate——"

After verifying their identities, the team of more than a thousand people entered the city smoothly.

Although it is the northernmost border closest to the barbarians and has been plagued by wars for many years, the prosperity of the city is beyond everyone's imagination.

Across the city gate, there are buildings and shops. The hawkers' cries, the people's bargaining and quarrels, all kinds of sounds come together and turn into the atmosphere of human life, with a bustling scene and people living and working in peace and contentment.

"Master Chen, please follow me."

Li Qianzong said: "General Fang has already arranged accommodation for you and your wife. As for your subordinates, they will also be properly placed in the area where the soldiers are staying. Please rest assured."

"Good work."

Chen Sanshi and the others said goodbye.

"Oh, I'm really tired after this trip. I'm finally home."

Fang Qingyun coughed twice and said, "Please ask Junior Sister Li to push me home."

"Fourth senior brother."

Sun Li spoke up, his voice filled with worry: "I met Cao Fan, Yin Hanwen and others before. Why did they come all the way from the capital to Liangzhou to participate in the selection? Is it that serious?"

"Master's last batch of closed-door disciples all came here for the unique skills in his hands, of course."

Fang Qingyun raised his hand to signal to stop, and bought a few strings of candied haws on the roadside, one string each for him and Sun Li: "Not only them, these are the prince's people, and His Majesty has also sent people to participate in the selection.

"They have good physiques and resources, and some are almost at the peak of their powers. I'm afraid this selection of forwards will be the most exciting in history."

"Is your strength about to melt?"

Sun Li took the candied haws away from his mouth when he was half way through biting it: "Junior Junior Brother has only been practicing for a short time, can he be their opponent?"

"Please stop."

"Ok?"

After the wheelchair stopped, Fang Qingyun turned around and just looked at his junior sister without saying a word.

"Fourth Brother, what are you looking at me for?"

Sun Li was puzzled.

"nothing."

Fang Qingyun saw through it but didn't say anything. He had an ambiguous smile on his face: "I just think that you have a good relationship with this Junior Brother Chen. I'm worried about him so early."

"Fourth senior brother."

Sun Buqi had just entered the city when he bought a lot of food and toys, and hurriedly chased after them: "Cao Fan and the others seem to be very powerful, otherwise you can help Sanshi when the time comes.

"With his level, he would have been the chief disciple in previous years. If he is not selected this year, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

"Why, do you think I, your senior brother, am biased and corrupt?"

Fang Qingyun smashed Sun Buqi's head with the scroll: "Even if I am willing, do you think this is helping Junior Brother Chen? This is harming him!
"Take you for example. Although your physique is average, your comprehension is excellent. If you work hard, you won't be much worse than Cao Fan and the others. Do you know why you are still lingering in the bone training realm?
"Isn't it because you rely on Master?

“I still remember that when you were a kid in private school and you couldn’t win a fight, you started saying, ‘My dad is a martial saint, my senior brother is a mysterious elephant, I’m going to call them to beat up your whole family.

"Especially that fellow Tang Ruoshan. He always tries to intimidate others. He either smashes a stone lion to pieces in front of them or uproots a weeping willow tree. He won't stop until he scares people to tears. He's completely spoiled you!

"How can you possibly practice hard?"

"It's boring. You can always bring it back to me."

Sun Buqi escaped.

"Huh~"

Fang Qingyun suddenly remembered something and frowned: "Junior Sister, if I remember correctly, Junior Brother Chen is already married and has a wife, right?"

"correct."

Sun Li didn't realize there was anything wrong, her eyes were clear: "Sister Lan is very good at needlework, she is also a virtuous person, and she has a good heart."

"It's broken, it's broken, it's broken!"

Fang Qingyun listened to the endless praise and first shouted that it was not good. Finally, he sighed quietly: "Master, I think he is angry again~"

"Brother, your sentences are not connected, what are you talking about?"

Sun Li doesn't think he is stupid.

Why did she feel that what her senior brother said today was like a riddle and was difficult to understand?
