Chapter 133: Grand Festival Competition, Obtaining Divine Power Again

Li Guanyi ignored the knocking sounds.

But this time, the person knocking seemed to have very little patience.

The creaking sound was a bit harsh. Li Guanyi turned his head and saw that the steel as thick as his wrist on the window was being spread out like dough. Then a figure rushed in from the still narrow gap and fell to the ground like a gray shadow.

He is of medium height, with striking brows. Although he is old, he was quite handsome when he was young. He blinked at Li Guanyi. He is none other than Chen Chengbi, the master of the royal family of the Chen State who is obsessed with martial arts.

Li Guanyi asked in surprise: "Senior Chen?"

"Hush! Hush!"

"Don't talk, kid."

Chen Chengbi pretended to tell Li Guanyi not to speak, and pinched the sperm back.

It's so easy that it's easier than a kid playing with mud.

Li Guanyi's eyes twitched. This was the palace, where the files of the emperor's imperial guards, such as the Jinwu Guard, were kept. It was highly confidential. The fine steel on the windows was called Yu Yu Shengang.

It has been tempered more than three thousand three hundred times, and is mixed with diamond materials and other things unique to this world. It is a mixed special steel with a hardness and toughness that exceed ordinary armor.

Ordinary armor would have to be stacked ten times to have such thickness. Such thick gold and iron, let alone such special steel, even a piece of raw iron pestle would not be able to be broken by a sword or a knife. If it was chopped, there would only be a small white mark, which was rounded and flattened in the hands of the old man.

In other words, this smiling old man in front of him could break ten layers of armor with just one pinch.

If it was the previous Li Guanyi, he would definitely be amazed.

Did you know that this old man’s good friend from his childhood can now move mountains?

Li Guanyi felt that it was nothing.

I know so much that I've become numb.

He put the file down and looked at the old man and said, "Old senior, what are you doing here?" Chen Chengbi motioned him to speak more quietly, and took Li Guanyi's wrist, his eyes shining, and said, "I heard that you went to the ghost market before?"

Li Guanyi grinned and nodded in agreement.

Chen Chengbi clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Well done, little brat. Every time I go there, these guys hide better than rats. I can't possibly overturn my own capital. It makes me so angry that I went to the Ghost Gate of the Netherworld Ghost Market to confront them a few years ago."

"The old man won't see me."

"When we were young, we were dealing with life and death, but he didn't even want to see me."

Chen Chengbi cursed loudly, his voice even louder than Li Guanyi's.

Li Guanyi also learned some information about the ghost market from the old man's curse. The old man sighed and said, "I went through the Yellow Springs and overturned the Hall of Merit, but unfortunately I still didn't see the Night Emperor."

Li Guanyi: "Huangquan?"

Chen Chengbi said, "Huangquan River is a place for assassins. All assassins in the world look up to it. Don't you know that?"

"The assassin ranking is also ranked by the Netherworld Ghost Market."

"The Hall of Good and Evil Merit is a strange place. There are all kinds of unknown things about masters inside. Many people hope to spend countless silver to erase their past. In addition, there are several places around the Netherworld Ghost Market. This ghost place is different from your Xue family."

Chen Chengbi smacked his lips and said:
"Although he is the richest man in the world, he is also a major force on the dark side of the underworld."

"In the Hall of Rebirth, we can invite famous doctors from all over the world to save people and bring them back to the Pure Land."

"If the Western Region Demon Sect, Blood Buddha Sect, and White Bone Zen are evil ways, and the Academy and the major sects are righteous ways, then the Netherworld Ghost Market is a neutral place between good and evil. Those who enter must have a certificate. Righteous disciples may hire someone to kill someone in there, and evil people may also hire famous doctors."

"Everything that comes here will be recorded in the Hall of Good and Evil Merits."

"A place like the Ghost Market is so inaccessible once you enter it. Boy, don't go to the Ghost Market unless it's absolutely necessary."

Li Guanyi recorded it silently and asked curiously:

"They recorded these things, aren't they afraid that others will use force against them?"

Chen Chengbi said, "Are you going to use force? Among the ten great masters in the world, Ye Tianzi from the Ghost Market is one of them. The Lord of Huangquan, the Ferryman of the Netherworld, is the leader of the ten great assassins in the world. He killed the Emperor of Wei a hundred years ago and allowed Ying to take the throne. And the third most famous doctor in the world is in the Hall of Rebirth."

"In the Hall of Good and Evil Merit, all good and evil can be recorded, and all good and evil can be erased. There is the best disguiser in the world. You don't know whether he is a man or a woman, young or old. If you pay money to such a force, they will give you everything you want."

"Divine weapons, sharp weapons, divine skills, and even the heads of kings, princes, generals and ministers."

"It could even be a new identity that leaves the underworld."

"Just this last point, no one will provoke you."

"They are more difficult to deal with than the Xue family you are in. The reason why they are not targeted by the academy is that although the Nether Ghost Market is based on money, there is another rule, which is the Merit and Good and Evil Hall."

Chen Chengbi said:

"If you do good, Yama will respect you; if you do evil, the underworld will kill you without mercy."

"For a truly kind person, the Netherworld Ghost Market will protect his life. There was once a teacher who died for the people and was about to be beheaded. The Netherworld Ghost Market exhausted all its elite members to save him. There was also a time when seventy-three ghost messengers fought to the death to kill the leader of the Demon Sect fifty years ago."

"The last [ghost messenger] brought back the head of the leader of the Demon Sect and hung it at the gate of hell. He had thirty-four wounds on his body and read out loud what he had done. After he was done, he died, still standing."

"The Netherworld Ghost Market is famous all over the world."

Li Guanyi was impressed, and Chen Chengbi said, "As for the rules that allow the Netherworld Ghost Market to survive."

"I heard that it was around two hundred years ago when the Netherworld Ghost Market opened."

"There is a peerless Yin-Yang clan that is on good terms with the first generation Ye Tianzi. The first generation Ye Tianzi used a pot of wine to ask the Yin-Yang clan for a life talisman. The clan said that if it was just a trade, the Netherworld Ghost Market would be difficult to maintain for sixty years. However, if there were trades, martial arts, and such rules."

"It can last for five hundred years."

"A bowl of wine, two words, five hundred years of achievements."

"The Night Emperor of Ghost Market gave that clan a jade token of the highest level."

"After the leader took it, he left calmly."

"It's a rare and wonderful story in the martial arts world."

The main patriarch of the Yin-Yang family, on good terms with Emperor Ye, and possesses the highest level jade talisman.

Li Guan was silent, and suddenly thought of the unkempt old man. He raised his hand and pressed his forehead. The legendary Yin Yang Sect who was unrestrained and calm, and who exchanged a pot of wine for a five hundred year foundation, and the old man he knew who was unrestrained and had no worries.

The contrast is too great.

It’s as if the legend has come into the mundane world of mortal world.

But it becomes more flesh and blood.

Chen Chengbi sighed, patted Li Guanyi on the shoulder, and said, "Anyway, you did a good job, kid. Also, I heard that during the fight, you used your halberd to draw a red dragon, and then intercepted hundreds of arrows."

The old man's eyes lit up and he told the real purpose of his coming here:
"Red Dragon Power, have you mastered it?!"

Li Guan nodded.

The old man laughed out loud: "Good, good, good! Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful!"

Chen Chengbi was so happy that he did several somersaults and laughed, "When I saw the Red Dragon Power of that little guy Yue Qianfeng, I wanted to play with him a little more. I didn't expect that although this guy looks big, his light body skills are very good. He is better than me and runs very fast."

"He ran away before I could have enough fun."

"Now that you have mastered it, come on, fight with me, an old man!"

"It's the magical skill of the Red Emperor who founded the country. If I don't practice with him after seeing it, my hands and heart will itch, and I won't be able to sleep. I can't sleep at all."

Li Guanyi felt that his previous idea that the old man taught him martial arts because he wanted him to help Aunt Xue's son was completely wrong.

This old man is just trying to satisfy his urge to do something.

Li Guan thought about it and said, "Forget it." Chen Chengbi paused and asked, "Why?!"

Li Guanyi said, "Old Senior, I probably know your personality. When you fight with me, even if you can suppress your own skills, you probably can't hold back, right?"

"When it comes to the flow of internal energy during a fight, I'm definitely not as good as you, Senior."

"When your internal energy enters my body, I will have just solved the problem of different kinds of true qi, and there will be another kind in my dantian. This is not right."

Chen Chengbi scratched his head and said, "No, I'll pass it on to you. Bah bah bah."

"I'm not the one who's teaching you this. It's the 'Six Voids and Four Combinations Divine Art' that you're looking at. At the first level, you can control three different kinds of true qi."

"Your family's 'Jade Arm Divine Bow Technique', Zhongzhou's 'Red Dragon Power'."

"When the old man fights with you, even if I accidentally hit you, you can dissolve it and use it for your own benefit. This is a good thing!"

The old man argued convincingly.

Li Guanyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This old man had calculated everything from the beginning.

He didn't care about worldly matters, but he was very shrewd when it came to fighting. So the young man stretched out his hand for the old man to feel his pulse and said, "It's unfortunate, senior, I've already experienced a triple transformation of my true qi."

Chen Chengbi widened his eyes, gnashed his teeth, and stamped his feet in anger.

The old man was like a flower waiting for its fruit, only to find that the fruit had already been picked. Especially, he came with the idea of ​​experiencing the power of the Red Emperor's magic so that he could fight happily right away, but it turned out to be just one step away, just one step away!
It's stuck.

The more I looked forward to it before, the more uncomfortable I feel now.

He scratched his ears and cheeks, paced back and forth, and finally looked at the young man over there. He knew that he was in the mood for fighting, and he could still control the strength of his blows, but his pure Yang infinite internal energy was so powerful and vast that he naturally reacted to defense, and some of his internal energy must have penetrated into the young man's body.

Chen Chengbi suddenly let out a long howl, turned around and grabbed Li Guanyi's hand.

He put Li Guanyi's hand around his neck, widened his eyes, and said, "Threaten me!"

Li Guan was stunned: "What?"

Chen Chengbi said: "You threatened me, saying that I must teach you my magic skills, otherwise you will make my Chen family extinct and all the incense will be extinguished. You will trample Jiangnan and destroy my family's ancestral graves..."

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes and a sincere smile appeared on the boy's face.

The voice remained the same, as natural as breathing:
"I can't do such a thing."

The old man glared at him and said, "Just threaten me, just for show."

"If you threaten me, I will teach you martial arts."

Li Guanyi did as Chen Chengbi said, the old man said with exaggerated acting: "Dad, you see, I was threatened, you can't blame me, if you threatened to kill me, I would definitely not obey, but if it involves the incense of my Chen family, I still have to give in."

"I will teach you the second level of the Six Voids and Four Combinations Divine Art right now."

"You are capable of controlling the fifth level of energy."

"You can also practice my Pure Yang Wuji Divine Art and my niece's Kunlun Heart Technique. Hehe, it's interesting."

"Dad, he threatened me, he threatened me!"

The old man laughed loudly and chanted the second secret of "Six Voids and Four Combinations Magical Art". However, the sound only fell into Li Guanyi's ears, and not a single word was heard outside. Then, without any movement, he used his internal energy to shake Li Guanyi's wrist away, and then raised his hand and rushed forward.

The old man's internal energy was suppressed to the second level, but the heavy momentum was still frightening.

Li Guanyi stepped back, using the military method, and leaned against the wall, almost knocking down the bookshelf.

Li Guanyi knocked the old man's hand with his backhand and said, "Senior, let's go out and fight."

"If this file is knocked over, I'm afraid General Gong and I will be locked up in the dark room together."

Chen Chengbi laughed excitedly:
"Go out and fight? Wouldn't it be more fun to fight here?!"

"Boy, let's make a deal. We can't knock down this wall and this book. Whoever knocks it down loses!"

After just a few moves, Li Guanyi was already in a state of disarray. The old man said, "It's not fun, it's not fun! Why are you the same as those military strategists? Your footwork is just straight forward. You have to know that this is the body movement of a large army in battle."

"There are comrades on both sides, so we can only move forward and backward."

"If you leap around like a martial artist, that would disrupt the army formation and you'd be beheaded by the military supervisor. But in a one-on-one situation, your military agility is really embarrassing. I know you're learning arithmetic from that old guy Zu Wenyuan, so watch out!"

The old man left Li Guanyi behind, and he walked quickly and leisurely in the room.

He started walking at a pace, then his speed got faster and faster.

The ground under his feet was the Nine Palaces, which implied the principle of the transformation of the Eight Trigrams and the mutual generation of the Five Elements. The speed was finally fast, and even Li Guanyi, a warrior who had not cultivated his eyesight, saw afterimages. Finally, the old man appeared in front of him and said complacently:
"This Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Footwork requires a thorough knowledge of formations and arithmetic. When Zu Wenyuan was young and had no martial arts skills, he relied on this footwork to escape danger many times."

"He didn't teach you because you have internal energy, after all, you are different from him."

"The old man is teaching you. Come on, step on the Nine Palaces, circle the Eight Trigrams, use your internal energy, and fight with progress. Hahahaha, I have figured out a lot of things over the years, just wait and see."

The old man was quite happy. He felt that the young man had done something that he had failed to accomplish.

Seeing his outstanding martial arts skills and talents, he immediately felt like he had found a treasure. He did not have any other thoughts or calculations. He only had a lively, smart and clear martial arts heart in his heart. He said:

"The way of heaven and earth is nothing but yin and yang. The transformation of yin and yang is natural. Therefore, when stillness reaches its extreme, activity will occur; yang will succeed yin; when activity reaches its extreme, stillness will occur; yin will succeed yang. Yin will inevitably transform into yang, and yang will inevitably transform into yin. This is the way nature creates life. Therefore, life can continue endlessly without stopping."

"My footwork is unpredictable. The stronger your arithmetic and formation skills are, the stronger my footwork will be!"

"But it's endless!"

He moved his body and attacked Li Guanyi. The young man had a high level of comprehension and a foundation in mathematics. He had undergone more than ten years of systematic training in mathematics in his previous life, which was already terrifying in this world. In addition, Hou Zhongyu taught him the formation at the risk of his life.

He got the hang of it quickly. Inside the file room, an old man and a young man were fighting quickly.

His fists and feet moved back and forth, faster and faster, but not even the hem of his clothes touched the table.

The old man laughed heartily and said, "With martial arts like this, when the grand festival competition comes, no matter whether it's the best swordsman in the East Palace of the Crown Prince's Mansion, or Yuwen Lie's nephew, the young master of the Turkic Iron Buddha, they should not be your opponent."

"Come on, come on, play some more with the old man."

"It's so enjoyable, so enjoyable. Why don't you be in your sixties or seventies now? You should have sixty years of internal energy. You can fight more comfortably that way."

Li Guanyi: "No. 1 in the East Palace?"

Chen Chengbi said, "Yes, my nephew spent a lot of money this time. He was not stingy at all and took out the title of the founding county man. This title has two advantages. One is that it can be passed down to future generations."

"I don't know how many noble families whose non-first-born sons have red eyes."

"This means that I can separate from the family and open my own page in the family tree."

"How can I say it? The temptation is too great."

"The other one has 300 households of food and money. It's not just an empty title. There are countless people who want it. Yuwen Lie's nephew, an outstanding young man of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Hua; and Geshu Yin, the son of the Iron Buddha commander under the command of the Seven Turkic Kings."

"There is also the number one swordsman under the Crown Prince of the East Palace, the grandson of the world's famous swordsman."

"They're all here."

"After all, there is an actual fief, so..."

The old man and Li Guanyi exchanged fists. Feeling the young man's strength, he was very excited and said casually: "There are even royal children coming, a distant relative of the royal family."

"My father died early, leaving me alone with my mother."

"You have neither a title nor a fief, yet you still want to participate."

Li Guanyi's pupils shrank slightly.

"who?!!"
