Night without Borders

Chapter 75: On par with legends
"After this rebirth is completely completed, will I be able to remember everything?" Qin Ming already had some guesses about the past.

But some things are still shrouded in mystery, waiting to be blown away.

He used to be Cui Chonghe, a true descendant. Why did he leave the Cui family? After being seriously injured, why was he thrown into the Black and White Mountains to recuperate?

What made him silent the most was that his relatives wanted to completely push him to a remote place, not allowing him to return to the world with daylight, and did not want him to get close to his previous circle.

Although he is now Qin Ming and no longer Cui Chonghe, he still wants to know the cause and effect.

Qin Ming sat quietly, his heart as calm as water. After simply washing up, he lay down on the bed, no longer resisting the sleepiness, allowing himself to fall asleep.

Silver light emerged, like a layer of silver mud applied on his body surface, and then the golden needles were threaded, crisscrossing his body, and he put on the golden jade clothes again.

Especially between his hair, the golden needles were plucking threads densely, as if they were being stitched continuously, making Qin Ming's entire head glow with golden light.

Qin Ming frowned slightly while sleeping, as if he sensed something. There was a slight sound coming from his skull, followed by bursts of pain, and then an extremely burning sensation.

He woke up briefly and realized what was happening and that there was no danger, so he emptied himself again and fell into sleep again.

There were three places on Qin Ming's skull where the golden light was the brightest. They had been smashed to pieces by the young man in feathered clothes. Dense golden needles appeared now, piercing through his scalp, sinking into the bones, and then going deeper.

The silver mud is like medicine, applied on it, as if to smooth out the traces of past injuries, the golden needles mend it, the silver light baptizes it, and all the old injuries are cured.

Although Qin Ming was not fully awake, deep in his subconscious, he realized the important role of the "Golden Jade Clothes", which involved resuscitation and even the true meaning of resurrection from the dead.

Perhaps, this is the true meaning of the human body's rebirth process.

As long as there is no danger, he will sleep soundly.

In the second half of the night, Qin Ming fell into a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. He saw the silk book again and saw his childhood self, waiting for the rough big hand to turn the page.

The fourth rebirth is related to perception. In addition to the improvement of the five senses, the instinctive intuition will become extremely sharp and can save lives at critical moments.

And this rebirth happened to involve the consciousness of the head, so the three places on Qin Ming's skull that had been broken were glowing all night, mended with gold needles and covered with silver mud, and then a large amount of spiritual substances obtained from the thunder and fire sky light continued to flow over.

The rough big hand finally moved and turned the silk book to the fourth page. In addition to continuing the previous text and thoroughly explaining the training of the five senses and consciousness instincts, there was also a method for the fifth rebirth.

In the early morning, Chixia City gradually brightened.

In the city, there is already a distinction between day and night. Some large and sophisticated cities will gradually adjust the brightness of the fire springs, for example, making it reach its strongest at noon.

In more magnificent cities, people would even create a scene of sunset glow all over the sky in the evening.

Of course, the wilderness is always shrouded in darkness. Even in the capital of a country, in the imperial city of an empire with a vast territory, when you stand on the city wall and look into the distance, it is still dark.

Qin Ming opened the window, and the sky, which was gradually brightening with the rising flames, was completely different from the dim night scene he saw in the Black and White Mountains.

He did not find it as novel as Wu Zheng, because he had experienced this before. As his broken memories were quickly reorganizing, scenes from the past were gradually becoming clearer.

Qin Ming took a deep breath, and it was obvious that he was not calm in his heart. He clenched the mutton-fat jade iron knife, walked to the yard, and slashed out with the sound of wind and thunder!
He mixed together the sword skills, gun skills, hammer skills and other fighting methods in the three secret books. All weapons were extensions and expansions of his arms.

"Brother Qin is full of murderous intent." Wu Zheng said to himself in the inn.

As the broken scenes were being reassembled quickly, various images came one after another, and Qin Ming's heart was a little confused. It was difficult not to be affected. Those were one past after another.

A person without a past is certainly incomplete; he must receive all memories.

"Brother Qin, I brought you breakfast. Are you okay?" Wu Zheng appeared and saw Qin Ming waving a knife in the yard.

The knife in his hand flashed like lightning, then produced dozens of knife shadows that stabbed forward like a spear, and then smashed like a sledgehammer, making a loud bang.

"It's okay. I'm in the freshman year. I felt a sudden impulse and felt uncomfortable if I didn't stretch my muscles. Now I wish there was a beast with multiple mutations in front of me."

Qin Ming felt that if he met the old golden rooster that had mutated five times in Jinji Ridge now, he could kill it with one shot or blow it up with one hammer!
Not long after, Xu Sheng came to the inn and wanted to see Qin Ming's condition after being enlightened by the light of heaven.

"Why do I feel that your body is more energetic than mine? What's your condition?" Xu Sheng was surprised and confused. He thought this was not an illusion.

"My body has almost recovered, and my perception is still improving. I am now in a state of full recovery, without any cover, so my Qi is relatively strong."

When Xu Sheng heard this, he was stunned. What he saw every day was not a reflection of Qin Ming's true strength?
Wu Zheng looked strange.

Xu Sheng said, "Don't hide it. Come with me and take a test to see how strong your physical fitness is after the fourth rebirth. As for the field of perception, it is very mysterious. We are not outsiders, so there is no way to test it for the time being."

"I don't want more people to know." Qin Ming said. His current situation is delicate and the future is unpredictable. If some things are spread to Qinghe City, Qianxing City and other places while he is not strong enough, the consequences will be unpredictable.

He didn't want to hide it from Xu Sheng, who already knew that he had entered the Thunder Fire Refining Palace, so it was meaningless to hide it. "It's okay, let's go to my friend's place, she has all kinds of equipment that can test physical fitness." Xu Sheng was very curious about what level Qin Ming had reached after four rebirths.

Qin Ming discovered that Zhou Lin, a friend of Xu Sheng, had gone into the mountains with him to pick snow lotus last time, but was intercepted by someone. She was very down-to-earth and kept speaking sweet words all the way to the city.

The venue opened by Zhou Lin teaches people how to embark on a new life. The business is quite good and the students are mainly teenagers.

In this city where every inch of land is valuable, the venue occupies quite a large area.

After a moment, Xu Sheng was petrified. He couldn't believe what he saw. Qin Ming, who had been reborn four times, could lift a tripod weighing 4,500 kilograms.

Wu Zheng was dumbfounded. That kind of divine power made him astonished.

"Brother Qin, is this your fourth rebirth? Are you sure it's not the sixth... or seventh?" Wu Zheng was frightened.

Xu Sheng said to himself, "There really are people like this. It turns out that the records in ancient books are not deceiving future generations. They are not exaggerated. I have seen them in real life."

"What do the records say?" Wu Zheng asked.

Xu Sheng said: "There is a book that mentions that in the past, a young man was born. His arms had a strength of nearly a thousand pounds. His talent was terrifying."

Wu Zheng was a little excited and said, "Legend has come true. There is actually someone around me who can rival the young man recorded in the book!"

Soon, he corrected himself: "No, I calculated that when Brother Qin was first born, the strength of his arms should have exceeded 1,100 kilograms."

Xu Sheng was completely numb and felt it was unbelievable.

"Brother Qin, when you first became a freshman, did you really... have such strong power?" Wu Zheng's voice trembled a little.

"Although I haven't tested it carefully, it should be more than a thousand pounds." Qin Ming said.

Xu Sheng sighed, "Xiao Qin's arms must have had more than 1,100 kilograms of strength. This kind of talent is like a legend to other new students."

Then he asked, "Early spring is here. Those ancient Taoist sects, mysterious organizations, and higher education institutions in brilliant places... will all begin to recruit disciples. Have you decided where to go, little Qin?"

"It's too early to talk about this. I don't understand much. Anyway, there is still time. Just make a choice before midsummer." Qin Ming's thoughts were in a mess now, because all the broken scenes had emerged, most of them had been reconstructed, and the rest were in progress.

"What are you three doing? You've moved away the lapis lazuli stele that is the center of my museum. Why don't you three work together?" Zhou Lin appeared, looking suspicious.

Xu Sheng laughed and didn't answer.

On the way back, Qin Ming went to an old bookstore and bought a stack of "Night Papers", which was a collection of the past three years.

The official gazette is official in nature and cannot be read by ordinary people. The night gazette is run by private individuals and is more popular.

"The content is very general and does not involve sensitive information. Many major events are glossed over," said Xu Sheng.

Qin Ming said: "It's okay, I just want to get a general idea of ​​the major events in the past two or three years."

After returning to the inn, he did not go out again and locked himself in the room.

While waiting for the freshman training to be over, he flipped through the evening paper, focusing on major events and news related to the Cui family.

“Dynasties come and go, but families remain forever.” Qin Ming sighed.

Some ancient families have existed for two or three thousand years.

It was mentioned in the evening papers that it was difficult to shake a thousand-year-old family. Although they had suffered heavy losses after going through various wars and storms stirred up by alien species, they had never fallen.

"Two years ago..." Qin Ming quickly searched for the information he needed and verified it with the past events that were becoming increasingly clear in his mind.

The Cui family experienced a turmoil two years ago, but the evening report did not delve into the underlying causes. It only mentioned that the two behemoths had briefly collided and then retreated.

Qin Ming had a rough look at various major events from two years ago to now.

He put down the thick stack of evening newspapers and looked at the hazy images in front of him. The huge city surrounded by sunset glow and the sacred mountain shrouded in fairy mist were gradually becoming clearer. Figures came and went, and he remembered a large number of familiar faces one by one, including his parents, uncles, brothers and sisters, and many clansmen.

Then, the young man in feathered clothes, Li Qingyue, and those old friends, all kinds of figures were walking towards him.

Qin Ming watched calmly, as if he was watching someone else's tragedy and comedy.
