The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 19 Gambling and Choice
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man stood up and shouted:

"Somebody come!"

Xi Mingzhang said expressionlessly:

"Ten days ago, I secretly poisoned your housekeeper, and planned to add some poison to the food during the Lantern Festival when the Liu family reunited."

"In this entire mansion, you are the only one whose martial arts skills are still good enough and who can still speak to me soberly."

He paused, looked at the middle-aged man and continued:

"You should have entered the second realm of martial arts. The so-called third realm of martial arts is mainly about regulating breathing and awakening the spirit, which starts with the acquired breathing."

“To nourish the three treasures of essence, qi and spirit of living beings, until the essence is full, the qi is sufficient and the spirit is vigorous. The full essence is reflected in the teeth, the full qi is reflected in the voice, and the vigorous spirit is reflected in the eyes.”

"In the first realm, one has unparalleled divine power. One can defeat dozens of armored soldiers with bare hands. One can be called a brave general in the army. In the second realm, one has long-lasting energy. One can nourish the body and qi. The internal energy is not declining, and the physical strength is inexhaustible. One can defeat more than a hundred armored soldiers with one breath. One can be called a brave general."

"As for the third realm, I have secretly investigated for a long time, but found nothing. I only know that this realm is called the Divine General by the world. I wonder if Master Liu can help me solve this puzzle?"

The head of the Liu family secretly got angry. He first felt a stiffness in his body, then an unbearable pain, and he couldn't help but fall on the couch.

"Whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything I know. I can also give you all the money in the mansion." He took a deep breath, looked at Xi Mingzhang's noncommittal attitude, and said:
"I only know that the Yin God has settled in the third realm, but I am not qualified to know the details."

"Even the martial arts that can enter the second level of martial arts were obtained by me offering the method of making salt."

Xi Mingzhang spoke lightly:
"So that's how it is. Since you are so understanding, let me tell you one thing first. Everyone in the family is dead, except for your daughter who married out and your young son who is seven or eight years old."

The head of the Liu family was so angry that his blood surged up, and he pointed his finger tremblingly and said:

"You evil creature, you vicious little bastard, who are you? What grudge do you have against my Liu family?"

Xi Mingzhang looked calm:
"Master Liu, a child of seven or eight years old is so innocent. Do you want your only remaining child to live? If you do, then you can exchange Liu's martial arts for his life."

"In fact, the reason why I came here tonight is because the martial arts blockade is too tight, so I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

Patriarch Liu narrowed his eyes and said:
"You are so young, but you are as fierce as a wolf and treat human life as nothing. How can I trust you?"

"Because I was born with parents, sisters and brothers. I have a seven-year-old sister at home. When she saw your son, she couldn't help but feel grief for him. In addition, your son is still young and has never seen me."

"So, Master Liu, are you willing to take this gamble?"

After hearing this, he was silent for a while, finally he sighed, stood up and walked to a bookshelf on one side, then turned a mechanism to open a secret compartment and took out two bamboo slips.

"This is the 'Liu Family's Body-Refining Guidance Technique' and the 'Heel-Breathing and Sitting-Forgetting Method' that I obtained." The head of the Liu family placed the two bamboo slips on the desk.

"Since it's a bet, it's best for your son to make the choice, because it concerns his own life. Why don't I give Master Liu a knife and a piece of candy?"

As soon as Xi Mingzhang finished speaking, the head of the Liu family immediately replied:

"My youngest son hates martial arts the most. I always force him to do it. He has no ambitions and loves maltose the most."

"If you choose maltose, does that mean you have no ambition or you are extremely cunning?" Xi Mingzhang spoke slowly.

"He will definitely choose the knife, because when he sees me, it's like a mouse seeing a cat. In front of me, he dare not be sneaky and will choose the knife timidly." The head of the Liu family said hurriedly.

"If he chose a knife, wouldn't that further prove that he has a strong desire to kill? He must not be spared."

Patriarch Liu's face froze, and he said dryly, "What if he chooses both?"

"This shows that your son is very greedy and is also a nuisance." Xi Mingzhang said calmly.

"Neither of them?"

"He who rebels must die."

At this moment, the head of the Liu family knew very well that the extremely handsome young man in front of him was actually a cruel person who would rather kill the wrong person than let anyone go.

"Don't be angry. In fact, your youngest son has already passed away. Just be positive. If he dies immediately, you will be able to see him right away."

"You..." The head of the Liu family's blood surged again, and black blood began to flow out from the corners of his mouth.

"Don't walk too fast on the road to the underworld, or your daughter and her family may not be able to catch up with you."

"You beast, you will not die well." After saying his last words, the head of the Liu family fell to the ground and died suddenly.

"You won't die well?" Xi Mingzhang murmured in a low voice:

"My skinny little sister actually loves to eat maltose, but she is sensible and keeps it to herself and never tells me. Instead, if she finds something delicious, she will save it for me as if it were a treasure."

He picked up the two bamboo scrolls on the desk and said softly:
"Your family and I have a deep grudge against each other. It just so happens that the family my fifth sister sold herself to is the Wang family your daughter married into. Tell me whether you deserve to die or not."

half a month later.

In a desolate place, Xi Mingzhang rode a fast horse towards Liaodong County.

These days, in addition to planning his revenge, he was secretly gathering various information.

In the past, we only knew the background of the current era, which is just like the Han Dynasty in the first life, and the context of the times is relatively similar.

This emperor who ruled the world came from the royal family of the Former Han Dynasty. Today, people call him Emperor Wen. In Xi Mingzhang's opinion, he had the style of Emperor Guangwu. He defeated the hundreds of thousands of troops of Emperor Li of the Xin Dynasty with a small force, and could be called a great magician.

He didn't care about these things at all, he only cared about the cultivation system of this world. Unfortunately, perhaps because Emperor Wen relied entirely on the help of aristocratic families in his rise to power, the methods of martial arts not only did not spread, but became even more secretive.

Generally speaking, the method of practicing the first level of martial arts has spread throughout the world. As for higher levels, only those families with a long history have it.

Fortunately, the country has only been settled for a few years, and not only are there occasional rebellions in various places, but there are also constant wars in Shu, Longxi, Liaodong, and southern Xinjiang.

Xi Mingzhang found out that he could learn advanced martial arts in the army.

Suddenly, he became interested. As for the danger of the battlefield, he simply put it behind his mind. As the owner of the Mars calamity body, he himself was the biggest danger.

Even if he finds a place to live in seclusion, as long as the world is not stable, the Mars calamity body will continue to grow. The best way to save himself is to speed up the improvement of his own strength.

In this world with immortals and gods, the cultivation system must be much more advanced than the cultivation system in the small world he traveled through, so he decided to explore it first.

In more than two months, he had only consumed more than two thousand source energies. On average, one thousand source energies could buy one month of peace. Now he had about five thousand source energies left, so he had plenty of time.

I planned to go to Liaodong County, because it was located at the intersection of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan, the border defense pressure was very high, and wars were constant, so it was a good place to go.
