Eternal Sword

Chapter 72 Banned Books
Chen Tang said: "I'm sorry to have made you worry. Things here have been settled. Let's go back."

"what?"

Qing Mu glanced around and said miserably, "Do you still want to run back? I won't come anymore. I can't run anymore."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "You don't have to move, just sit still."

After saying that, he whistled.

Within a few breaths, a figure jumped out from the woods beside the official road and ran towards Chen Tang happily. It was Hu Leibao.

Chen Tang climbed onto the horse, stretched out his hand, and said, "Come on up."

Qing Mu's beautiful eyes were smiling, as if she saw through everything. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she just looked at Chen Tang with a half-smile, without extending her hand.

Chen Tang said seriously: "Don't look at this horse's frail appearance, but it can easily carry two people, and it runs very fast."

Qing Mu rolled his eyes at Chen Tang in annoyance.

Is this a horse thing?

Qing Mu snorted: "I trust this horse, but I don't trust you."

"You're worrying too much."

Chen Tang patted his chest and said confidently, "I am a person who can remain calm even when a woman's arms are around me. My heart is firm and I am absolutely sure of my concentration. Besides, you are my sister. I have no evil intentions."

"fake."

Qing Mu muttered something, then leaped up, his clothes fluttering, as graceful as a startled swan, and in the blink of an eye he was sitting in front of Chen Tang.

She was usually bold in her words, occasionally teasing Chen Tang, and unintentionally revealing a hint of coquettishness, mainly because of the practice of a certain martial art.

This was the first time I was so intimate with a man.

Chen Tang took a deep breath, said "Sit tight", and drove Hu Lei Bao towards Wu'an County.

Qing Mu sat on it, and the two of them rode together. They were still observing etiquette and left some space between each other.

But Hu Leibao suddenly accelerated, and Qing Mu leaned back unconsciously and leaned into Chen Tang's arms.

"Brother, you did this on purpose." Qing Mu said dimly.

"Sister Mu, don't worry, I'm not interested in women!"

Chen Tang got angry and said, "Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!"

Having said that, the two of them were pressed against each other, almost skin-to-skin, and Chen Tang couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

Qing Mu felt the heat coming from Chen Tang's chest, and her cheeks also felt hot.

She quickly practiced her skills to calm her mind.

But the practice of her technique is meant to be practiced by men and women together, corresponding to the union of heaven and earth, complementing each other and making progress together.

In the current situation, once she started practicing the skills, she became even more confused and almost out of control.

Qing Mu felt a pang of regret and couldn't help but recall the past events.

When the fat old man was young, he was known as the world's number one thief, and there were many martial arts secrets stored in his hometown.

Her master had told her that she could go anywhere she wanted, but there was one room that she was not allowed to enter, saying that it contained all banned books.

She was still young at that time, and the more her master said this, the more curious she became.

I always hear my master say that if some superior martial arts technique or peerless secret book is called a forbidden book, wouldn’t it be even more powerful?
She finally got a chance to sneak in, and sure enough, she saw the legendary banned book!

She picked up a book on top and began to flip through it.

The contents of the banned book were indeed refreshing to her, and were different from all the martial arts she had seen.

On each page there were two little naked figures drawn together in various strange poses, with odd expressions, seeming to be in pain, or happy.

The corresponding text is also provided below.

"The beginning of Xuanhua, the furnace shines with wonders, the strength becomes the male, the softness controls the female."

"Form the two bodies of man and woman, model the two rituals of yin and yang."

"Looking at his manly character, he is both strong and upright."

At first, she was still ignorant and didn't understand much, but after just flipping through a few pages, her face turned red.

Although she felt that the content of the book was not quite right, she just couldn't stop reading it. It felt exciting and fresh, and she started practicing subconsciously.

After that, whenever she had the chance, she would run to that room and practice the forbidden book with all her heart.

Every time I practice, my face becomes red, I sweat profusely, and I walk out feeling hot all over.

By the time she was discovered by her master, she had already almost mastered the forbidden book.

"A sin!"

Qing Mu only remembered that the fat old man said this angrily at the time, and then his face was full of helplessness, he sighed and muttered: "I don't know which bastard will get the chance in the future..." Recalling these past events, Qing Mu's mood calmed down a lot.

However, she suddenly felt something strange in her lower back.

Her younger brother seemed a little uneasy.

"Don't you have a strong heart and remain calm?"

"I didn't move. It's the horse's fault for running too fast."

"But I am your sister."

"fake."

"You're not interested in women, and you said women would affect your sword-drawing speed."

"I use a knife, it doesn't affect..."

……

Hu Leibao carried two people on his back without slowing down his speed at all.

Before dawn, they had already arrived near Wu'an County.

Chen Tang got off the horse first and breathed a sigh of relief.

It was such a test running all the way here.

Even with his supreme concentration, he almost couldn't control himself.

If he had not thought about getting back to Wu'an County before dawn, his defense line would have most likely been lost.

Chen Tang patted Hu Leibao's butt and said, "Go and have fun. Remember to go back to the city by yourself."

"This horse is really amazing. It ran over 200 miles in just over an hour, and it didn't even look tired."

Qing Mu was greatly surprised and said, "Even a Ferghana horse that can travel a thousand miles a day may not be able to catch up with it. Can you let it go like this?"

"fine."

Chen Tang said: "When the city gate opens at dawn, it will enter the city by itself."

Chen Tang and Qing Mu walked towards Wu'an County, and soon they arrived at the city wall.

The two used the gecko wall-climbing skills to avoid the patrolling guards on the city wall and entered the city quietly.

Chen Tang first sneaked into the training ground, took off the three-stone bow from his back, and made sure that the blood stains on it had been wiped clean before putting it back.

Afterwards, the two of them secretly returned to the inn.

Neither of them slept that night, so they had to take some time to rest.

During the day, we also have to go to the training ground to take the final test.

Chen Tang felt even more sleepy.

He has not had any rest since the day before yesterday.

The journey from Changze County to Wu'an County was tiring.

After arriving in Wu'an County, he did not sleep for another two days and two nights. Last night he rode all the way to and from Changze County in Wu'an County, and after a fierce battle, he was already exhausted.

Chen Tang fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

I don’t know how long it was before Chen Tang was awakened by a knock on the door.

It's already dawn outside.

He had not rested for less than an hour when he felt tired and weak all over and was reluctant to get up.

But thinking that the news from Changze County today would spread here, and he had to show up in front of everyone to get rid of suspicion, he struggled to get up and opened the door with sleepy eyes.

It was Mei Yingxue and others who came to wake Chen Tang up for breakfast.

The moment she opened the door, Mei Yingxue was shocked to see Chen Tang's appearance and asked, "You, you didn't get enough rest?"

"what happened?"

Chen Tang asked.

He turned around and took a bronze mirror to look at himself, and saw a pair of big dark circles around his eye sockets, as if he had been punched twice.

That’s nothing. With his physical condition, he will recover after a good rest.

"Well, I can't sleep well in a different place."

Chen Tang said it casually.
