Chapter 140: Magic killing, the magic weapon of heavenly book!

“Brother Chen, Brother Chen!”

After practicing for a while, Chen Sanshi put down his spear to take a rest, and saw Yan Changqing running towards him with an excited look on his face. Behind him, there were many soldiers, all with the same expression.

"Incredible, incredible!"

Yan Changqing clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Brother Chen is truly a role model for our generation!"

"What role model?"

Chen Sanshi was stunned.

"Look, it's no fun to pretend."

Yan Changqing said with a wicked smile: "It has spread. Now the whole Liangzhou City knows about your affair with Miss Ningxiang!"

"Isn't it?"

Xie Sishu followed up by saying, "Lord Chen used his Diamond Body and even the bed collapsed. This morning, when I was about to leave, I saw it with my own eyes. The maids carried down a rotten bed from the sixth floor."

"Sigh~"

"My Lord, you are very fierce in the ring, and you are also very fierce on the bed..."

"..."

Chen Sanshi guessed that since there was no way to explain the smashed bed, they could only carry it out openly and make up a story to ensure that their identity was not exposed.

"And there is also half of a poem written by Brother Chen, 'A branch of red flowers blooms with dew and fragrance, the clouds and rain on Wushan Mountain are in vain and heartbreaking'!"

Yan Changqing said with a sigh, "You still said you can't write poetry!"

There is no Wushan in this world, but there is Wushan.

Chen Sanshi made some changes when he was copying it from memory.

"What about the second half of the sentence?"

"Yes, Brother Chen, it is not a good habit to write a poem halfway!"

These sons of officials and wealthy people, even if they want to practice martial arts, have to study since childhood. Some of them are even as good as scholars, but they value strength more in their hearts.

"Brother Chen's poetic talent, if he were to take the imperial examination, he would win first place sooner or later."

"..."

Chen Sanshi felt that if he focused on studying, he would definitely achieve something. Apart from anything else, just copying a few poems in a place like the capital would make him famous all over the world, but it was useless. Even if he became successful, he would need to hire high-level warriors for personal protection, not to mention that he could even practice immortality in this world.

"It's just that Brother Chen has a bad habit."

Yan Changqing changed the subject: "How can you... not pay?"

"Yes."

"It's all spread. Before you left, you took more than five thousand taels of silver from Miss Ningxiang. You made a profit!"

“A role model, a role model!”

"What kind of role model? I think what Mr. Chen Qian did was inappropriate. He earned his money through hard work. How can he refuse to pay?"

"..."

Chen Sanshi took advantage of their chattering to find an opportunity to escape. He had no time to waste here. Before leaving, he took several maps of the Great Sheng Dynasty from the warehouse.

I heard that things are not peaceful everywhere recently. The external threat has just been resolved, but internal unrest has started again. It is very likely that there will be another war next, and the soldiers in the reserve battalion will also be pulled out for actual combat.

As a military commander, he naturally had to always keep a map in front of him so that he could analyze the situation at any time.

After calling Bai Hu Ma, he came to the prosperous Luhua Street before going home. The whole street was dedicated to the sale of women's jewelry, rouge, powder and the like. He found the store with the best business and bought jewelry worth several hundred taels of silver in one go before returning home.

Before reaching home, Chen Sanshi saw from afar a young Taoist priest in Taoist robes standing in front of the mansion.

Ciyun Temple is here again.

"donor."

The young Taoist priest bowed and said, "Why didn't you attend the preaching meeting two days ago?"

Chen Sanshi dismounted and said, "Young Master, please tell Master Qiu Mingzi that I have been very busy in the military recently. Whenever I have time, I will go to pay homage to the Heavenly Lord and donate incense."

"Then Master Chen, don't forget next time. My master said that you have a predestined relationship with the Dao. As long as you insist on going, you will definitely be able to comprehend the Dao. It would be a pity if you miss the opportunity."

The young Taoist priest bowed again and turned to leave.

"Are you really being targeted?"

Chen Sanshi's eyes were deep.

He specifically inquired about it.

In the army, there are basically no senior generals who go to Ciyun Temple to pay homage.

On the one hand, it was because the people in the army, like him, did not believe in these things.

On the other hand, the commander didn't like it, and his subordinates followed suit, so naturally no one would go.

"Master, do you know the clues behind this?"

"If you knew, why didn't you deal with it..."

Small success in transforming energy!

If Chen Sanshi remembered correctly, Qiu Mingzi was only at the small level of Hua Jin, and no Qingxuan Qi or Purple Qi was found on his body. However, with the strange thing like incense, no one knew if he had any life-saving trump card.

You can only take one step at a time and see what happens. If the other party really forces you, you have no choice but to take a risk.

The most urgent task is to break through the transformation of energy first and practice sword energy at the same time.

"The master is back~"

Siqin and Mohua were waiting at the door together.

Mo Hua led Bai Hu Ma into the yard, and Si Qin whispered, "Master, the Madam is angry."

"Because of the Red Sleeves Building?"

"Uh-huh."

Siqin nodded her head rapidly, "When I was walking on the street today and passed by a teahouse, the news spread all over the street. They said that the disciple of the commander-in-chief, the world-famous General Wude, went to a brothel without paying. The courtesan in the brothel even sent people to look for you all over the street."

"It's okay, I'll go and explain it."

Chen Sanshi pushed open the bedroom door.

Seeing Sister Lan sitting at the table as usual, her slender jade fingers twisting the embroidery needle flexibly, she didn't look animated at all.

The more this happened, the more guilty he felt, and for a moment he didn't know how to start talking.

"Brother Shi is back."

In the end, it was Gu Xinlan who took the initiative to speak.

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi sat down opposite and took out a few boxes: “On the way back, I picked out a few pieces of jewelry for you. See if you like them. If not, I’ll go get new ones.

"My lady, please don't be silent.

“Otherwise, I can make you some rouge myself, using the most expensive precious medicine. It won’t hurt the child and can protect your skin.

"Or, you..."

"Pfft~"

As she listened, Gu Xinlan suddenly covered her face and smiled.

Chen Sanshi was even more confused.

"Okay, I'm just teasing you."

Gu Xinlan said coquettishly: "Didn't you say last time that you had something serious to do? Do you think I'm really angry?"

"Forehead……"

Chen Sanshi didn't quite understand how even Siqin Mohua knew that she was angry.

"Just for show."

Gu Xinlan saw through his thoughts and explained, "You made such a big noise visiting a brothel, it must be to hide your tracks, right? It would be abnormal for me, your wife, to not react at all. I am a woman, and I don't practice martial arts. I can't help you outside, but I can't hold you back at home, right?"

"My sister Lan is so smart?"

Chen Sanshi was somewhat caught off guard and hugged her from behind.

"Stop it, you're hurting the child."

Gu Xinlan knocked his hand away and said sternly, "Brother Shi, I don't mind, but when Sister Li came this morning, she was not in a good mood."

"Isn't it?"

"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Sister Li comes here every day. Do you really think she comes here just to take care of me?"

"It's half true and half false. I don't really have that intention. And even if Senior Sister Sun is willing, where will she be placed?"

How could the master's daughter be a concubine?

He didn't say anything at the time, but he was probably a little angry about it.

"Brother Shi, I can..."

"Don't say it."

Chen Sanshi covered her mouth and said, "It is impossible for this matter to affect you. Master is very magnanimous and won't be really angry. You should take a good rest. I will go to practice."

He came to the backyard, locked the door, picked up the Five Tigers Soul-Breaking Sword and the precious medicine sent by the Inspector General's Mansion, and began to practice.

This is also the biggest advantage of selecting a striker to win the championship.

There are enough precious medicines for every realm, so there is no need to worry about lack of resources. Combined with the Linghe ointment which has even more exaggerated effects, your proficiency will improve by leaps and bounds.

He reports in at the early morning every day, and apart from patrolling the city, he practices.

Chen Sanshi became more and more familiar with the moves of the Zhenguo Dragon Spear, and gradually reached the level of perfection.

He maintained a blood-blasting state, and his whole body was slightly in a state of madness. The extreme circulation of Qi and blood in his body caused him to have no time to think. All that was left in his eyes was a python, a giant python that exuded a mysterious aura and seemed to be able to transform and evolve at any time.

Two hundred rounds!
The blood-thirsty state lasts for two hundred rounds.

Even Chen Sanshi's five Xuanyuan internal organs began to feel powerless, as if after being drained of blood, they were still being sucked dry to drain the last bit of potential in the body.

But at the same time, he also vaguely felt the existence of "strength".

"A little bit!"

"Just a little bit closer!"

"Transformation!"

Just when Chen Sanshi felt that his whole body was being dried out and there was not a drop of blood left in his body, a different kind of power was born in his blood, merged into the knotted muscles of his arms, and finally added to the spear. As he thrust forward, he let out a dragon-like roar!
[Kung Fu: Zhenguo Dragon Spear. Transformation of Strength (Beginner)]

【Progress: 0/500】

[Effect: Long-lasting strength, the energy can calm the mountains and rivers, after reaching perfection, the energy can turn into a real dragon]

Introduction to Hua Jin!

The state of Hua Jin is very similar to the state of Lian Xue.

You first develop a strand of strength, then spread the strength throughout your body, followed by external strength. After the external strength, you can attach the strength to a weapon. At this time, the mysterious weapon can come in handy.

After the power of transformation is fully developed, the power can leave the body to a certain extent and wrap around the weapon, forming an invisible force.

[The power is long-lasting, and the power is overwhelming]

Chen Sanshi put down his spear and started practicing his boxing on a huge rock in the yard that was specially used for martial arts training. He tried to experience the specific effect of the entry through actual practice.

The strength in his body does not seem to disappear immediately after the intensified attack, but will linger for a long time before gradually dissipating. If it is used head-on in actual combat, it will definitely have a remarkable effect.

The air is as calm as the mountains and rivers.

This is the characteristic of the Dragon Spear that protects the country, it transforms the original "wild" force into "calming" force, a force that can suppress everything. Compared to the wild force that intimidates the enemy, the calming force can truly shock the opponent.

The effect of the final [True Dragon Power] is yet to be known, and one will have to wait until it is fully developed before experiencing it firsthand.

"It finally worked."

Chen Sanshi completed one of his stage goals and let out a breath.

It’s one month earlier than the original plan, and it’s already spring.

In just one month, he broke through from the great success of organ refining to the stage of transformation. Even geniuses like Lu Shuhua, who had already achieved perfection in organ refining, would probably still have to waste a lot of time in the stage of organ refining.

This is all thanks to the help of Linghe Ointment.

It was just that he used it too much. He went up the mountain once to replenish it, but it was used up again. Next, he had to find time to go up the mountain to refine medicine. Moreover, the original black iron furnace was completely burned through and needed to be replaced with a new one.

From this perspective, Linghe has no cost on the surface, but in fact it costs several thousand taels of silver each time!
He originally received a total reward of 50,000 taels of silver, and after spending it over this period of time, only half of it was left.

Even so, Chihiro still has to eat two bites every day.

“It would be better if there was a container.”

"You won't be able to break through your martial arts realm in the short term, so just concentrate on practicing magic for a few days."

Chen Sanshi locked the courtyard gate and sat cross-legged on the floor of the empty wing. He took out the purse given by Xunxianlou, poured out the spiritual sand inside and held it in his hand, then began to mobilize his meridians to practice magic according to the method recorded in the fragments.

Closing his eyes and concentrating, he could feel a visible yet invisible foundation near his dantian.

According to the "dictionary" translated by Senior Brother Fang, this thing should be called spiritual root.

Only people with spiritual roots can practice magic. Even my master seems unable to practice magic and can only practice martial arts.

Moreover, magic and immortality are two different things.

The way to immortality is to cultivate longevity, while magic is to protect the way.

Practicing magic is much more difficult than practicing martial arts, and it is a hundred times more difficult!

It took him three full days just to learn how to draw the Qingxuan Qi into his body through his spiritual roots. Now, nearly a month has passed, and he still hasn't gotten started.

[Magic: Sword Qi Technique (Not yet introduced)]

【Progress: 78/100】

[Effect: None]

Fortunately, it will be soon.

But the spiritual sand is consumed too quickly.

There was only a small handful in a purse, and almost half of it was consumed in a short time.

There must be more in Xunxian Tower, but I'm afraid the other party won't give it to me for no reason.

Besides.

Chen Sanshi also observed a phenomenon.

That is, the Qingxuan Qi that he absorbed into his body could not be stored and accumulated, but continued to circulate in his meridians and dissipated at a slow rate. In layman's terms, it could not be stored, and he could not transform his body by retaining the Qingxuan Qi in his body.

Comparatively speaking, the Qingxuan Qi in Master's body can obviously be preserved.

His method of storing spiritual energy can probably only be learned after one becomes a Martial Saint.

As for the other path, Chen Sanshi did not have the corresponding skills.

Xunxian Tower has it, but unfortunately the other party won’t give it to them. Even if they are willing to give it, there is not enough spiritual energy for cultivation, otherwise they themselves would not be so weak.

For now, just focus on practicing your magic.

Before she knew it, another day had passed until Siqin knocked on the courtyard door and asked cautiously, "Master, the eunuch is here and is waiting to see you in the living room."

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi guessed that there was news about Shunzi. He was tired from practicing day and night, so he asked Siqin to prepare wine and food so that he could relax and have a rest.

He came to the living room, clasped his fists and said, "My dear eunuch, I have come to visit you. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you in person!"

"Master Chen, there is no need to be so reserved."

The chief eunuch Hou Bao put down the tea in his hand and said: "I came here today to explain the matter of Lord Chen's brother."

"Please speak, Eunuch Hou."

Chen Sanshi stepped forward to help add tea himself: "Any news?"

"Yes, but don't be too happy too soon, Master Chen."

Hou Bao said calmly: "Seven months ago, there was indeed a man named "Zhang Shun" on the list of laborers who went to Danzhou to build the canal, but three months ago, a big event happened in Danzhou.

"When the Liusha River burst its banks, the civilians dug out a stone statue of a one-eyed giant at the bottom of the river. Led by several local sects, they shouted the slogan 'Don't blame the stone man for having only one eye, and stir up the world to rebel in Liusha'. They killed the river supervisor, and then went up the mountain to become bandits. Taking advantage of the geographical advantages of the 800-li watershed, they built a mountain stronghold to recruit soldiers and horses, preparing to wait for an opportunity to rebel.

“Master Chen’s brother Zhang Shun also disappeared without a trace after this incident.

"I don't know if he died in the mutiny, or..."

He paused and emphasized: "Going up the mountain to be a bandit!"

"Such a big fuss?"

Chen Sanshi is almost unheard of in the north.

He took out the map and looked at the geographical location of Danzhou: "Eunuch, how many people are there?"

"As many as 80,000."

Eunuch Hou lamented, "This group of unruly people do not know how to be grateful to the court. They are all thinking about rebellion. They deserve to be cut into pieces! Moreover, before they rebelled, many of them secretly practiced martial arts and even prepared armor.

"I'm afraid this matter was planned long ago.

"After the incident, the Nanxu Kingdom, which had been silent for more than a decade, became restless again. From our perspective, it is closely related to the Nanxu Kingdom, as well as the aristocratic families and sects in Danzhou!
"Fortunately, the rebellious people are still just a mob after all.

"Once the imperial court has suppressed the Southern Xu Kingdom, we will deal with these unruly people!"

Chen Sanshi knew.

After all this commotion, Shunzi will definitely not be found again.

In all likelihood, he also became a bandit.

"Master Chen."

Eunuch Hou said in a shrill voice, "I want to remind you that you should cut ties with your brother as soon as possible. I will keep it a secret for you and make sure it does not affect your future."

"I understand your reminder, sir."

Chen Sanshi felt that the rebellion was a good one.

Since he was in Poyang, he knew what kind of life the common people lived.

The subsequent ten days of Yunzhou further proved that the imperial court was doomed to fall.

It’s just not enough…

The territory of the Great Sheng Dynasty was vast.

It sounds like there are only thirty-six states, but some of them cover a very large area. For example, one Liang state is equivalent to two and a half Yun states, so the court's military forces appear to be tense.

Moreover, Danzhou is a small state in the south. If the Southern Xu Kingdom is defeated, it will be isolated and helpless, and the best outcome would be to linger on in the mountains.

To put it bluntly, they were also instigated and used by others.

If you really want to cause trouble, you still need to have supreme military power. Especially after Chen Sanshi knew about the immortal method, he was more certain of this.

"In recent years, the world has been in chaos~"

Eunuch Hou sighed, "Mingzhou is also not at peace. Now that the commander-in-chief has entered the capital, the rebels are jumping around like unsealed devils. The Western Qi and Southern Xu countries are colluding and are ready to make a move."

"There are rebels in Mingzhou too?"

Chen Sanshi looked at the geographical location on the map.

Mingzhou is adjacent to Yanzhou, which is also a large province with a very complex terrain with many mountains and rivers. Further west is the Western Qi State.

The four directions of east, west, south and north in the Great Sheng Dynasty.

They correspond to the Northern Barbarians, Southern Xu, Eastern Qing and Western Qi respectively.

Among them, the most powerful is the united barbarians, followed by Dongqing, then Xiqi and Nanxu, whose strength is not much different. Almost everyone is eyeing the fat piece of meat of the Dasheng Dynasty.

For the same reason as the barbarians, the Dasheng Dynasty has abundant resources.

In the Great Sheng Dynasty, there is basically at least one Xuan Xiang realm warrior in every state, but the other countries cannot do so, and Martial Saints are even rarer.

"Not only in Mingzhou, but also in Youzhou, Yanzhou and even Liangzhou, there are rebels. During the ten days in Yunzhou, there were bandits, sects, and unruly people who wanted to cooperate with the barbarians."

Eunuch Hou said in a relaxed tone: "But before they could become powerful, they were suppressed by Commander Sun who was freed up. Now the three northwestern states have returned to stability.

"Only Mingzhou was attacked from all sides. A group of bandits gathered their troops and formed a standoff with the imperial court. Now they have occupied six cities and have sufficient food and grass.

"Let's tell Lord Chen in advance. If the problem can't be solved in the next few days, Liangzhou will have to send troops to support it. Your reserve battalion will definitely be among them."

"Father-in-law."

Chen Sanshi wondered: "What kind of people are these bandits in Mingzhou? How could they become so powerful?"

"It's pretty weird, actually."

Eunuch Hou said with a cold breath: "The Meishan bandits call themselves the Red Eyebrow Army. Their leader is not even a martial artist, but a failed scholar."

"Failed scholar?"

Chen Sanshi became even more curious.

"That's right~"

Eunuch Hou elaborated, "This man started taking the imperial examinations at the age of sixteen, but now he is middle-aged and still has no achievements. Every time he goes to the capital, he fails. As a result, he is looked down upon by the locals, and even the girl he likes has to marry someone else.

"So two years ago, he joined a group of local bandits in Meishan, led them to rob the girl, killed the entire family that the girl was going to marry, and then took the girl with him to the mountains to become a bandit.

"Not long after that, he became the new leader of Meishan. Later, he took advantage of the chaos caused by the barbarians to start a rebellion. With the support of the local aristocratic families, he became a powerful figure.

“It is said that he was able to gain support because he obtained a heavenly book that recorded the art of war, which contained a truly extraordinary battle formation, making him a genius in training soldiers. Any battle formation he personally trained could demonstrate combat effectiveness far beyond the soldiers’ cultivation, so he was elected as the leader.

“Of course, they don’t have any Martial Saints under their command. The highest combat power is a sect leader at the Mysterious Elephant Realm. If they really have to deal with him, it won’t be too difficult.

“But Mingzhou General Dong An needs to concentrate on guarding against the Western Qi State and cannot spare the time.

"So, after a while, Liangzhou will need to dispatch 30,000 troops to attack."

A heavenly book that records military strategies?
Is this some kind of adventure?

How could he, a mere scholar, not only protect his adventure from being snatched away but also become a leader?
There must be many strange things among them.

"Thank you, Eunuch Hou, for telling me!"

Chen Sanshi thanked him.

"General Chen must train diligently recently and strive to achieve more outstanding achievements in Mingzhou and be promoted to a higher position."

Eunuch Hou pinched his orchid fingers and said, "General, you don't have to be polite to me. I am just a family dog ​​of your majesty. You should thank your majesty. If one day Master Sun teaches you the Dharma, you must..."

"Submit it to the court."

Chen Sanshi said first: "Don't worry, sir."

"Okay, great!"

Eunuch Hou nodded with satisfaction.

While they were talking, the food and drinks were prepared, all of which were prepared by the chef from Xianhe Tower at a high price.

The chief eunuch Hou Bao was very satisfied with the meal. After eating and drinking, he wanted to take Chen Sanshi to the brothel, but Chen Sanshi politely refused and just took out a thousand taels of silver as a bribe.

"How can this be so embarrassing? We couldn't even find Mr. Chen's brother."

Hou Bao said this, with the banknotes already in his hand: "Then we won't bother Master Chen anymore."

"Siqin, show the guests out!"

After sending the eunuch away, peace returned to the house.

Chen Sanshi was able to continue practicing sword energy.

It's the same three points and one line for several days in a row.

It has been nearly a month since I went to Hongxiu Tower. Gu Xinlan has been pregnant for more than two months. The changes in her abdomen are not obvious, but symptoms such as morning sickness and drowsiness have become more serious.

Before the hour of Mao, Chen Sanshi had already prepared a soup for nourishing the body, and told Siqin Mohua to wait for his wife to drink it, and then he went to the military camp to report. After hearing the news revealed by Eunuch Hou, he also began to intensify the training of his men.

After such a long period of running-in, both the original confidants and the soldiers from various guards have become obedient and obedient, and their proficiency in the skill of [commanding troops] has also been improved.

[Skill: Commanding Troops (Minor Achievement)]

【Progress: 355/2000】

The only flaw of the soldiers under his command is that their cultivation level is too low, and there are not enough internal refining warriors.

The Eight Camps have sufficient rations of ordinary tonic medicines, but they are also limited. If one's physical condition is not good enough, drinking too much will make it impossible to digest the remaining toxins, causing the internal organs to rot and damage the foundation.

The amount of residual toxicity in the boiled tonic will test the doctor's skills.

If we express it using easy-to-understand quantitative standards, for ordinary people, the medicinal materials prepared by Medical Officer Jiang and others will contain about 40% toxicity out of 100.

However, the drugs extracted by Doctor Jiang and other masters at the Tongmai realm using their strong powers are only about 20% toxic.

Don't underestimate these 20%. Every reduction in toxicity means that warriors can drink more tonic to improve their cultivation. Over time, it can greatly improve the overall level of the army.

"Strength-quenching medicine is required to reach external strength."

Chen Sanshi really needs to study it carefully at that time. If the toxicity can be reduced to a smaller level, it will also be a disguised way to enhance the strength of his subordinates.

"Hey! General, I have good news for you!"

Bai Tingzhi came over in a good mood and said, "That pug named Yin is going to leave early tomorrow morning. He will not stay here any longer to be an eyesore."

"Walk?"

Chen Sanshi asked hurriedly: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Bai Tingzhi said confidently: "He bought some wine and meat in the military camp, and is inviting people who are close to him to drink. I heard that he will also visit a brothel in the evening. Those who flatter him keep saying that they don't want him to leave."

Chen Sanshi could see that this person was loyal to Cao Fan and thought he would stay in Liangzhou as an assistant. Why did he suddenly want to leave now?

Maybe it was because of Sha Wenlong’s transfer last time that they felt exposed and they dared not stay any longer, fearing they would be investigated?
Mr. Yin, are you willing to leave like this?
Among Cao Fan and the others, the one who hated him the most must be Yin Hanwen, who had been shot by an arrow before.

and……

This guy is not a pauper. He cannot hold a banquet in the military camp to save money. It is more like an announcement to the world, telling everyone that he is leaving. Who is he showing this to?
Chen Sanshi couldn't help but think of the worst possible scenario.

Even if he doesn't want to attack me, I can't let him go!
I am just a little bit away from being able to master the art of sword energy. It will definitely be in time before tomorrow, but before that, I need to be well prepared.

It just so happens that it is their turn to take a day off starting from this afternoon.

Chen Sanshi left calmly and went to the Governor's Mansion.

After gradually becoming familiar with each other, he no longer needed to wait for notification, but could come and go freely. Led by a maid, he went straight to Rong Yanqiu's residence.

"Junior brother, you didn't even say hello in advance."

Rong Yanqiu was wrapped in a veil, her hair and cheeks were wet, obviously she had just taken a bath.

She pointed her finger at her junior brother's chest and said, "Tell me what you want from me."

Chen Sanshi took a half step back and handed over the gift he had bought: "Come and see Senior Sister."

"Tsk~ Why are you pretending to be serious now? This is not the time for you and that little bitch to break the bed."

Rong Yanqiu put on her clothes with disdain and glanced at the jewelry box: "Don't give me that. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"I really can't hide anything from you, Senior Sister."

Chen Sanshi bowed and said, "I will take two days off. I plan to use this time to go hunting in the mountains to see if I can find a strange beast. But I am really worried about my wife being alone at home, so can I ask you to stay at my humble abode for two days?"

Since the other party is leaving, it would be safest for him to go out of the city and kill the person. With Chihiro around, he won't be afraid of not being able to catch up.

But I was also worried that there was no one at home and I wouldn’t be able to get back in time if there was danger.

"What are you worrying about?"

Rong Yanqiu thought it was about Third Senior Brother Nie Yuan, so she said confidently, "Don't worry, just go up the mountain. No one will follow you, and no one in your family will dare to go there either."

"I still hope that Senior Sister will take care of it personally."

Chen Sanshi pleaded.

"alright."

Rong Yanqiu nodded and said, "Since you said so, how can Senior Sister not agree? Anyway, I'm free anyway, and my sister Li goes there often, so I can go and play for two days.

"But let me make this clear first, you are not allowed to go to Hongxiulou to fool around with that little bitch again.

"Last time you asked me to help you find the person who was following you, but you turned around and went to the brothel to become famous. I was so angry."

"No, I won't go." Chen Sanshi agreed.

"That's pretty much it."

Rong Yanqiu couldn't help rolling her eyes: "I really don't know why my junior sister was so bewitched by you. If it was my man who dared to fool around, he would have been hung on the city wall long ago. Guess what your senior sister Sun would say?
"People say, 'Sister, please stop interfering in other people's business. Junior brother must have something important to do.' It's disgusting to hear.

"You buy me gifts every day, but why don't you buy some for your Senior Sister Sun? She has never been interested in anything since she was a child. Now she probably doesn't even know she's interested. Don't let her down."

"I understand. I will prepare a thank you gift next time."

Chen Sanshi thought about it and felt that since the other person took care of Lan Jie'er every day, it would be inappropriate not to give him something.

He clasped his fists and said, "I'm going up the mountain."

"let's go."

Rong Yanqiu waved her hand impatiently: "Leave your wife and my unborn nephew to me. I promise not to hurt a hair. You are really too cautious."

"Farewell!"

After Chen Sanshi finished his explanation, a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Without wasting a moment, he rode his Baihu horse straight towards the Luotian Mountains.

He is still a little short of mastering the art of swordsmanship, so he must hurry.

Although he has the protection of his senior sister and is absolutely safe, he will not let the other party go.

Coming to the cave where medicine was refined, Chen Sanshi sat cross-legged, concentrating all his attention and absorbing the green and mysterious energy in the spiritual sand.

It was not until the next day, when it was bright outside the cave, that he suddenly opened his eyes.

[Magic: Sword Qi Technique (Introduction)]

【Progress: 0/500】

[Effect: Spiritual energy condenses into a sword, killing people with a flick of the finger]

Kill with a snap of the fingers!
When a martial artist reaches the Xuan Xiang realm, a layer of protective Qi will cover the surface of his body.

But there is no way to open up the meridians.

Strength is definitely not enough to resist spells!

The more Chen Sanshi practiced, the more he could feel its power.

He circulated the Qi in his body's meridians and, through a special wandering method, condensed the spiritual energy into his right arm and palm. Finally, in the void above his fingertips, he condensed an extremely tiny, ethereal sword shadow, not much bigger than an embroidery needle.

"It's done!"

Chen Sanshi dispersed the sword shadow.

He could feel that even his Vajra body could be pierced by a sword. There was no need to test the power anymore. Even the lowest level spell could kill a warrior at the Tongmai realm.

And the spiritual energy in the body is limited.

Chen Sanshi estimated that after a full-strength attack, the Qingxuan Qi that he had accumulated with great difficulty in his body would be almost completely consumed, and he would need to absorb spiritual sand again to condense it, so it would be impossible for him to be so extravagant as to use it indiscriminately.

The mission was accomplished. Seeing that it was almost dark, he went down the mountain as fast as he could and met up with Chihiro at the foot of the mountain.

……

"Prince, goodbye!"

Yin Hanwen bowed deeply and got into a carriage. Escorted by seven or eight attendants, he gradually disappeared from sight.

After walking for about half an hour, he said, "Old Wei, it's almost time. You turn back now, hide until dark, and kill people. Remember, don't spare a single person in the family! Are the things ready?"

"At this."

Wei Gong took out the vajra and said, "After the Wushen Cult kills someone, they always use it to take the blood from the heart. But... Master, he is a disciple of Tutor Sun after all. Aren't you really worried about irreversible consequences?"

"If you hesitate, you will fail!"

Yin Hanwen said fiercely: "Old Wei, his physique is better than mine, and he has the guidance of the Supervisor. If the prince cannot take away his resources, he will most likely become a Martial Saint in the future, or even higher!

"And judging from how he murdered Wen Qiushi, do you think he will let me go in the future?
"If we don't kill him now, when will we?
"Besides, this is definitely not just a personal vendetta. If we kill him, the Crown Prince will no longer have any obstacles in the North. In the future, he will have control over the military, which will be of great benefit to the court."

"I see."

Wei Gong sighed and said, "Master, if I am not back before dark, you should not ride in the carriage anymore and leave this place as fast as you can."

"Mr. Wei, what do you mean..."

Yin Hanwen worriedly asked, "Killing a mere internal organ refinement master shouldn't be risky, right?"

"Master, rest assured. Even if there are risks, I will bear them alone. I will never bring any trouble to you and the prince."

Wei Gong said nothing more, rode his horse back the same way, with a look of determination in his back.

It's easy to kill someone, but hard to leave the city!
If the city guards were really alerted and he were unable to escape, he would naturally disfigure himself and commit suicide.

He is a gangster.

I have received the Yin family's kindness for many years to have where I am today. Dying for the Yin family is a worthy death.

"Mr. Wei..."

Yin Hanwen kept watching the other person until he could no longer see him, then he closed the curtain of the carriage with relief.

Old Wei watched him grow up since he was a child, and the two of them had a deep relationship. Even his martial arts were taught by Old Wei, so he was half a master. If something really happened to him, he would be reluctant to let him go.

“But even so, it’s worth it!”

Yin Hanwen hardened his heart, closed his eyes and waited for good news.

He said, "Old Zhang, let me tell you a passage."

The coachman, Lao Zhang, also grew up with him, and in order to make him happy, he even learned storytelling.

"okay!"

Lao Zhang had a loud voice and started off with a poem to set the scene.

"Stories and operas are the only way to persuade people...Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the right path in the world is vicissitudes!"

"The last book said..."

Swaying all the way, Yin Hanwen fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

Until a certain moment, the world suddenly became extremely quiet, even the carriage stopped, and the only sound left was the chirping of birds on both sides of the official road.

"Lao Zhang, why don't you continue?"

silence.

"Where are we? Is Elder Wei back?"

Still no one answered.

"I am asking you a question!"

"Master, run——"

The hoarse reminder sounded, like a bolt from the blue hitting Yin Hanwen's heart. He reacted quickly, picked up the Xuanbing iron sword beside him, and jumped out of the carriage.

Looking around, there were corpses everywhere in the wild mountains and wilderness!

His eight guards died silently, all of them pierced through the heart by a sharp arrow.

In fact, Old Zhang, who was in the Refining Organs realm, was the last one to die. He fell on the side of the carriage and used his body to block several sharp arrows for him. He was also the one who made the loud shout.

"who!"

Yin Hanwen was extremely terrified and tightly grasped the sword in his hand.

"Buzz!"

He heard the sound of a sharp weapon tearing through the air, and he tried to block it in a hurry. As a result, he was sent flying backwards by the terrible impact, and the sword in his hand fell out of his hand.

Not a match for me!
"It's you!"

The moment he fell to the ground, Yin Hanwen finally saw the person coming.

Who else could it be, holding a spear and carrying a bow on his back!

"You...you've transformed your energy?!"

Yin Hanwen was dumbfounded and even forgot to be afraid for a moment.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was willing to sacrifice his lifespan to improve his cultivation, but he could only barely reach the level of Transformation Energy. How did this kid do it? Even if he had the Form-Change Body, it would be impossible!

Chen Sanshi didn't say a word and was about to take his life when a huge rock was thrown at him.

"boom"

With one strike from the spear, the boulder was smashed to pieces.

A black shadow flashed by and rescued Yin Hanwen.

"Mr. Wei? Why are you back?!"

Yin Hanwen was ecstatic.

"This guy knew we were going to kill him, so he invited Rong Yanqiu to his home in advance."

Wei Gong said in a deep voice: "I was wondering why you didn't see him, but you dared to chase him here and take the initiative to attack. You are really thoughtful and courageous. But, you look down on me too much!"

"Chen Sanshi, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you come here to surrender!"

Yin Hanwen grinned: "We can still be cautious in the city, but here, you will die without a burial place. Elder Wei, kill him! Elder Wei? Wei..."

I saw a flash of silver light.

He didn't even see clearly what it was. Wei Gong, who had achieved a minor success in the Tongmai realm, fell straight to the ground. There was only a red dot between his eyebrows, and strands of blood gushed out of it, flowing all over his face like a spider web.
