Martial God Development Plan

Ji Zhao smiled, stretched out his hand and drew the first lot...human luck.

The stall owner said stubbornly: "One twelfth...it doesn't mean anything."

Ji Zhao drew the second lot, Earth Luck.

The stall owner began to sweat profusely. Ji Zhao had an extraordinary temperament and had said such things before. He had actually won the one-twelfth times twenty-fourth probability in one try. What about the next one-thirty-sixth... ?

Ji Zhao reached his hand into the stick tube, looked at the stall owner's expression as if his heart was in his throat, and with an idea, he quietly hid one stick and then pulled out another one.

In the end, Ji Zhao did not draw the lucky number, but chose a slightly inferior one. After all, he came out to make a living, and if he drew the lucky number three, he would probably have worked for nothing for half a month.

The stall owner heaved a sigh of relief and dared not say anything. After exchanging the money for Ji Zhao, he felt that it was very weird and hurriedly packed up his stall and left. For businesses related to fortune lots, no matter if you are doing business or coming to draw lots, you must believe in it to some extent. If you don’t believe in it, you won’t come to do it/draw.

"What a pity..." Ji Tan showed a look of regret, "If only I had drawn the third-best lot, it would have been great, it was just a little bit short..."

She didn't care about the money, but she thought that the three-fortune lottery was an extremely rare thing and she could boast about it for a long time after drawing it.

"What are you talking about?" Ji Zhao took out a fortune stick like a magic trick. Ji Tan looked at it and it was the fortune stick.

She was very surprised: "How did this end up in your hands?!"

"I just drew it." Ji Zhao smiled, "I feel that this is the fortune lottery... But it's not easy for me to make a living, so I took another one. But I also wanted to verify whether my intuition was right, so I secretly kept this lottery. Now I see that it is indeed the fortune lottery..."

Ji Tan must have believed in the fortune divination. He immediately showed a suspicious look and muttered, "You didn't use any magic, did you? If you tamper with the fortune divination, you will be punished by the Taoist Ancestor."

Ji Zhao did not deny cheating, but said: "Second sister, do you think I can do something under the nose of Hongyue Sanren when I have no cultivation, or in other words, do something in front of Master Feng with my eyes closed?"

"...It doesn't seem possible." Ji Tan frowned slightly, "Is it luck?"

Ji Zhao said: "An immortal told me in a dream that I can draw three fortune sticks at any time if I want."

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 55: A Lifetime of Entanglement

Ji Tan was half-believing and half-doubting. The immortal's dream must be fake, because Ji Zhao had never told it before, and it was obviously just made up. But the three fortune signs could not be fake, and the three days of disaster when Xiaoyao Feng was staring at her were also real. This weird and conflicting fortune made her confused. However, Ji Zhao claimed to be a riddle teller who was a hundred levels higher than Han Gongqiu, so how could he tell the truth?

"I'll figure it out one day..."

In the end, Ji Tan muttered this, and even planned to find an opportunity to make a bet with Ji Zhao to regain the ability of astrology and divination, and then let God give her the answer - Ji Zhao didn't know why Ji Tan was so confident in her astrology and divination skills.

As night fell, the three returned to Luohe Pavilion. Ji Zhao thought that Fu Caige's trouble was about over, but he didn't expect that she had new tricks up her sleeve.

"Last time I felt that the painting of the immortal couple would be more meaningful at night, but the original painting was in the daytime, so I copied it during the day. But since then, I have always felt that it is not perfect enough. Today happens to be a good time... Let's go to Cangyun Peak."

So, more than a year later, the same three people came to Cangyun Peak again.

Ji Zhao and Ji Tan came to the edge of the cliff and sat down. Without Fu Caige's reminder, their fingers were clasped together. Compared with before, it seemed much more natural now.

Fu Caige chose a farther distance, making sure he could see the whole view, before he began to paint. Ji Zhao and Ji Tan were bored, so they naturally started chatting.

"I heard from Senior Sister Fu that you met Gu Zhibai when you were in Taixuan City?"

"Senior Sister Fu is still telling you this?"

"Well, I heard her chatting with her sister... I heard that Miss Gu likes you very much."

"...She has been with me through thick and thin time and again. We are considered friends of life and death. Naturally, she is closer to me than others. As for liking her, that's a bit too much. Senior Sister Fu may be feeling that. Don't say such things carelessly."

Ji Tan smiled with a fake smile: "How close are you? Tell me, please."

Ji Zhao keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Ji Tan's tone, so he immediately shut up and tried to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, a lot of interesting things happened on the road."

"How intimate is it?"

"I don't know why Gu Qu has always cared about whether Master Mo's feet smell or not. She even planned to steal Master Mo's boots. I really don't know if she has nothing to do."

"Tell it to your sister."

"That Shangguan Zhen is so scary. Whenever someone looks at his daughter, he immediately glares back at them viciously. Really, if that's the case, don't bring your daughter out. By the way, her name is Shangguan Qiao, and she's as beautiful as Senior Sister Fu."

"Friends of life and death, friends of life and death!"

"The Fu Ge who appeared at the martial arts conference seemed to be able to control light, and his appearance was truly heroic and extraordinary."

"We share! our! sufferings!"

Ji Zhao fell silent.

"Why don't you say anything?" Ji Tan kicked Ji Zhao in dissatisfaction, "Keep talking, I'm listening."

[“No no no, you’re not listening at all…”]

Ji Zhao asked, "Does Second Sister care about Miss Gu's affairs?"

"......" Ji Zhao just said this casually, but Ji Tan didn't know what she remembered. Her momentum declined a little, and her words were not as aggressive as before. She was silent for a long time, and her voice became much softer. She replied, "Of course I care a little... You have already made an engagement with Miss Lie. If you have affairs outside and make General Lie angry, then we are doomed, right?"

————Don’t even talk about taking a concubine. Given Ji Zhao’s background, the Lie family was respecting him by letting him marry into the family. Besides, Ji Zhao wasn’t even marrying into the family, so how could he have the nerve to talk about taking a concubine?

When he is strong enough in the future, he will be able to do such things without even mentioning it. If he mentions it now, Lie Yufei will ride over from the north overnight to slap him twice. Besides, there is no need to explain how low the status of concubines is these days. If anyone has a little shame, he would not be willing to be a concubine even if they were separated by heaven and earth.

"Second sister, I don't want to lie to you." Ji Zhao stared at the starry sky in the distance. "Miss Gu, she is indeed interested in me... But she is still young, maybe it's just a momentary impulse. She will mature sooner or later. Whether she forgets me or gets over it naturally, it doesn't matter to me. In any case, my answer is still the same as before."

Ji Zhao didn’t say anything after that. He felt Ji Tan’s fingers were exerting force, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

"Same as before..." A voice that was hard to tell whether it was suppressed or relieved sounded, disappointment mixed with hope rising from the ruins. What Ji Tan was thinking at this moment, perhaps only God knew, "Then... my answer is also the same as before."

Ji Zhao smiled helplessly and said nothing.

In the silent night, Ji Tan suddenly remembered the three evil lots he had drawn.

[“A lifetime of entanglement... Is this the best ending?”]

Ji Tan closed her eyes and sighed as if she had accepted her fate. The moment this thought came to her mind, a suffocating feeling of sadness suddenly swept over her, almost suffocating her.

...Are you satisfied? Have you accepted your fate? Is this it?

When I ask him about things that matter to me, I have to use other people's names. We can never be together openly. We use the identities of siblings as a cover-up, but in the end, it's just a small fight that can't be shown on the stage. I dare not say anything. I hope he can understand, but I don't want him to understand...

Ji Tan could even imagine that if Lielian appeared at this moment, standing there and smiling gently with the attitude of a good wife and mother, she would be so painful that she would want to jump off from here... The rats in the gutter would be complacent after stealing a little bit, but the light would never shine on them.

"...Ji Zhao."

Ji Tan suddenly called out to Ji Zhao.

"what happened?"

"Actually, I..."

Just as Ji Tan was about to speak, Ji Zhao suddenly turned around and looked. Ji Tan also followed his gaze and saw Lie Lian coming up with a food box. After talking to Fu Caige for a few words, she came to the two of them, opened the food box and said softly, "I heard from a senior sister that you went to the back mountain. I guess Senior Sister Fu is coming to paint. Now is midsummer, and you are not wearing much, but Cangyun Peak is cold and windy all year round, so it is easy to catch a cold. I boiled some hot soup and brought it here... Sister Ji, try it. Senior Sister Fu and Master Ji are both warriors, so it's okay, but you are not. If you get frozen, I'm afraid Master Ji will be worried again."

She handed a bowl of steaming chicken soup to Ji Tan.

At this moment, the fleeting and indescribable complex changes on Ji Tan's face were captured by Ji Zhao's eyes. For a long time, he didn't understand why, but...

He will understand sooner or later.

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow Moon: Chapter 56: Urgent Request

The next morning, Ji Zhao was still asleep when a quick knock on the door woke him up. Ji Zhao subconsciously glanced out the window—it was still dark! It was midsummer!

Ji Zhao used to go to bed very late because of his practice, and now he was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. He had to force his internal energy to impact the meridians and acupoints to refresh his mind. This was just like staying up all night, which was not good for his health, but he couldn't care less at this point.

With the surge of internal energy, Ji Zhao woke up instantly, put on some clothes and opened the door. Standing outside was a person he had met once before. He was Xiao Yaofeng's subordinate, and it was he who found Ji Zhao and Gu Zhibai.

The man gave Xiaoyao Feng's secret code. Ji Zhao calculated it and found that it was correct. Then he asked, "Does Master Feng have any instructions?"

The latter did not answer him immediately, but said "Follow me", then took Ji Zhao to knock on Yunxiao and Ji Bei's doors. After the three of them gathered, he briefly and quickly told Ji Zhao about the current situation.

This year's summer school, the team led by Han Gongqiu and accompanied by Huo Shuizhu received the commission to search for the remnants of the Zhensheng Sect.

The Black Lotus Sect and the True Life Sect were the two largest sects in the demon sects that were destroyed by Luohe Pavilion. The former was the result of Wei Huo's battle, and the latter was the result of Liu Hanying's battle. The Heavenly Artifact Yin Shen was also seized in that battle, but the centipede is still alive. According to the information obtained by Xiaoyaofeng's men, there are still remnants of the True Life Sect in the world. Because of excessive practice of magic, they have become mentally disturbed and tortured the people for fun. So Han Gongqiu was sent to lead the team, assisted by Huo Shuizhu, to try to completely destroy them.

Things went smoothly at the beginning. Xiaoyao Feng's men were omnipresent and accurately grasped the combat power of the remnants of the Zhensheng Sect. Han Gongqiu and Huo Shuizhu, two first-class masters, were more than enough to suppress the situation and hone the disciples' bloody fighting physique. However, no one could have imagined that an elder of the Zhensheng Sect who was believed to have died in the "Dangyang Peak Battle" that year, the Flying Bone Thief Chu Jun, one of the Seven Zhensheng Ghosts, was actually still alive. His appearance completely changed the situation of the battle. The Luohe Pavilion switched from offense to defense and began to flee...

————Normally speaking, after being hunted down, these remnants should have fled to preserve their flames, but the magic skills can easily turn people into lunatics. Moreover, these remnants cannot stand the light and can only live in dark corners. The emotions accumulated from practicing internal skills are unable to be discharged, and they even have to rely on killing civilians for fun. They are already half crazy, so how can they have any rationality? Therefore, after being attacked, this group of people exploded like dynamite. Instead of running away, they turned around and hunted down Luo He's disciples.

After saying this, the man said to Ji Zhao:

"Master Thief Saint has other important matters to attend to. He is still unaware of this matter. It is not convenient for me to disturb him. I heard from Master that you have the best Qinggong and endurance in Luohe Pavilion, so I came to find you now. I hope you can support them as quickly as possible. After some time, Yunxiao and your elder sister will come to help... Don't forget to get that from Cidulu, otherwise you won't be able to find anyone."

————I have to say that Xiaoyaofeng has a sharp eye. In terms of battle or a temporary sprint, Ji Zhao is not much faster than Yunxiao, and is even slower in sprinting. But when it comes to long-distance travel, Ji Zhao's endurance with the blessing of the Scarlet God Robe is completely incomparable to Yunxiao, and he can also navigate all kinds of harsh terrains with minimal consumption. This kind of hidden increase is difficult to reflect with simple numbers. It's like a reptile and a bird. Both have a speed of 140 mph. They look the same, but are actually not on the same level.

There are some things that Xiaoyaofeng will not say openly, but he has secretly praised Ji Zhao for his natural talent, saying that his talent is no less than Liu Hanying. Although his physique is much worse, he works harder and has more determination. His subordinates know that Xiaoyaofeng is the number one Liu Chui, so they naturally understand the significance of this.

After the battle with Taoist Dong, Ji Zhao's mind became clear and his martial arts skills improved greatly. With his terrifying blood-fighting physique, his strength was not inferior to that of Moyu Jibei and others. Moreover, he was well-informed and had read all the martial arts books in the Sutra Library. He had a very good understanding of the martial arts of Zhensheng Sect. Therefore, when facing the martial artists of Zhensheng Sect, except for Xuan Tianlie, whose strength had reached the Yiji, other masters were not as useful as Ji Zhao. Xuan Tianlie had not returned yet, so it was absolutely no problem for Ji Zhao, who had the strongest comprehensive ability, to take over.

Although Yunxiao and Ji Bei did not think that Ji Zhao's ability was that great, they believed in Xiaoyaofeng's judgment and suppressed their doubts.

"I understand." Ji Zhao heard the urgency of the matter and immediately asked the other party for the address. This place was not far from Luohe Pavilion - that was for sure. If it was too far, Ji Zhao's extra mobility would be meaningless. It would be better for him to seek help from other warriors who were nearby.

Ji Zhao had been to this place several times and had a lot of impressions of the terrain and roads. He went back to his room to pack up his equipment, went to Ci Du Lu again, took a bug with him, and after making sure that nothing was left out, he set off decisively.

Ji Bei and Yun Xiao were a little slower than him in preparing their things. They could still keep up easily at the beginning, but as time went on, they gradually found it a bit strenuous. When they encountered a special terrain, they had to take a detour. After they finally took the detour, they could not even see Ji Zhao's back.

......

In fact, "hunting down" is a very difficult task for any martial artist who does not have powerful informants. For example, Liu Hanying is considered the leader of Shenzhou, but if he is asked to hunt down a martial artist alone and fails to catch up with him on the spot, the rest of the plan is basically over. To be precise, it is difficult to meet him because there are so many people in the world.

A demon sect that has been destroyed and can't even get the materials to eliminate the side effects of its skills, and can only survive, theoretically does not have the ability to "hunt for a long time", but as a game world that has been made real by the mirror, it has all kinds of wonderful settings, such as... poisonous insects.

The Zhensheng Sect has a special applied kung fu, which involves implanting a kind of poisonous insect called the 'Heart-Eroding Gu' into the body, and using a claw technique to cover the palms with the Heart-Eroding Gu's poison. As long as a person is scratched, the poison and the larvae of the insect will invade the other person's body. The mother and larvae of the insect have a special sense of connection, and the mother can lock onto the approximate position of the larvae... The practicality of this kung fu is not actually that high. When it can scratch someone, the person can basically be beaten to death. Moreover, if a doctor is encountered, the other party may know how to deal with it. After all, the mother and larvae are able to lock onto each other, which is an ability that many insects have, and doctors can more or less deal with it.

However, it occasionally works wonders.

Just like now...the warrior who was scratched is Han Gongqiu, the hidden weapon master and doctor of Luohe Pavilion. She is the only doctor in the team. Even more unfortunately, because the scratch was on the back, coupled with the continued high fever and the high-intensity journey, Han Gongqiu had no chance to heal herself at all.

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 57: Seven Real Ghosts

"Flying Bone Thief, didn't you say that bitch from Yaohua Palace was killed? How come she is still alive?!"

"What's the point of going on like this? We might as well fight them!"

In the clinic of the small county town, disciples of Luohe Pavilion were coming in and out, hurriedly boiling medicine under the command of Han Gongqiu, whose face was flushed to an abnormal level. Huo Shuizhu was pacing back and forth in front in a hurry, going out to take a look from time to time with an anxious expression. She knew that with the medical conditions here, Han Gongqiu would not be able to save himself at all, and would not be able to remove the poisonous insect in his body. Their location would always be exposed to the perception of the warriors of the Zhensheng Sect.

Generally speaking, in a chase or even a manhunt, the fleeing party has the advantage, but the enemy will sense the wounded and their families here, so how can there be any advantage at all... Huo Shuizhu practiced the Hell-Turning Heart Sutra, and his personality was particularly violent. Several times he couldn't help but want to fight the enemy to the death. Now that he finally had some time to breathe, he failed to fulfill his responsibility as a teacher to stabilize the morale of the troops. Instead, he said words that frightened his disciples.

......Most of the disciples of Luohe Pavilion were in their teens. They might have some chivalrous spirit, but except for a few disciples, the others had never seen a truly brutal magic martial artist. Now they ran into a ruthless character who practiced martial arts to the point of madness and didn't care about his life. Naturally, they were scared. After running for their lives for such a long time, they no longer had any desire to fight. If Yunxiao Xuantianlie was here, he might be able to control the situation, but Huo Shuizhu......

"Calm down..." Han Gongqiu, who had a high fever, exhaled a burning breath and spoke with difficulty, "You are no match for me. We are not far from Mount Daizong. Just hold on a little longer..."

She groaned at this point, and didn't have the energy to finish the rest of the words. After three or four breaths, she recovered a little and whispered, "Otherwise, you guys go first, and I'll find a chance to get away."

Waiting for an opportunity to escape... This is certainly a more decent way of saying it. If you are left alone in this situation, you will have no chance of survival.

Hearing this, Huo Shuizhu gritted her teeth in anger. She was strong-willed and hot-tempered, and especially hated such words of self-sacrifice. Now hearing this, she even wanted to go up and give Han Gongqiu a beating.

"Qiu... Master Qiu actually has a point." A male disciple named Xu De, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, mustered up the courage to speak and whispered, "With our disciples' strength, it's not very useful for us to stay. Master Huo, why don't we let the disciples go first, and you and Master Qiu will cover the rear..."

Huo Shuizhu was furious when she heard this, but before she could say anything, a female disciple who had been pursued by Xu De heard this and felt ashamed. She frowned and drew a line between herself and Xu De, shouting, "Xu De! Do you have any shame? Master Qiu was injured just to save you!"

Xu De grumbled a few times, wanting to argue, "I didn't ask her to save me," "It's the master's duty to save his disciple," but he was not stupid enough to do that. After swallowing these words, he glanced outside the clinic and said anxiously, "That's true, but it's useless for us to stay. If we disperse, we may be able to find some help!"

This is self-deception. In this era, a group of teenage disciples, to be frank, do not know the way when they leave their elders, and are unfamiliar with the place. Who knows where there is a senior who can do justice for them? Even if they can find some reinforcements, it will be a long time before they can bring them back, and they may not be able to find anyone. The warriors of Zhensheng Sect have senses, but they do not. They are not the warriors under Xiaoyaofeng who have undergone special training and have various means of communication... In the era of inconvenient transportation and information transmission, many things are much more difficult than imagined. There are many friends who are life and death. After parting in youth, they will never see each other again in their lives.

"Master Qiu needs someone to support him and take care of him." One of the disciples was relatively calm. "If we really have to disperse, at least two or three people should stay behind. Otherwise, Master Huo won't be able to fight at all. In fact, it's better for us to stay together and maintain a fighting posture. Master Feng's people have gone back to find people. The eagle he released must be much faster than us."

"Even if someone comes, they won't be able to find us! And who knows when they will come!" Xu De was only a teenager after all. Under the pressure of life and death, he couldn't stay calm for too long. He stamped his feet in a hurry and said angrily, "Anyway, I don't want to stay!"

Han Gongqiu, who had a high fever, opened his eyes and wanted to say to his disciples, "They can find me," but he opened his mouth and could not muster the strength... He was too tired, and Huo Shuizhu knew about this.

However, Huo Shuizhu failed to grasp the key point. She had a bad temper. She frowned and said sternly, "Anyone can leave today, but you who were saved by Han Gongqiu are not qualified to leave!"

"Why?!" Xu De screamed, and finally couldn't help but say, "I didn't ask her to save me! Why can't I leave......"

Because of Huo Shuizhu's murderous gaze, the man took several steps back in fear, then gritted his teeth and said:

"I...I want to leave now! Master Huo, you still want to kill me!"

"None of you can leave..."

A gloomy and cold voice sounded from the other end of the street. A middle-aged man in a black robe, with long hair and slightly gray temples, walked slowly towards them. His face was gloomy, but one could still tell that he was an extremely handsome man when he was young... His name was Chu Jun. In his early years, he was a martial artist from the Yishan School. He was famous for his appearance and earned the nickname "Flying Flower Sword". Later, because he had an affair with a married woman from the Yaohua Palace, he was crippled from martial arts and expelled from the Yishan School. It should have been like this, but his master was soft-hearted and did not cripple all his martial arts. So he switched to the Zhensheng Sect. Because of his strange lightness skills, he was nicknamed the Flying Bone Thief. He was one of the 'Seven Ghosts of Zhensheng' and had amazing strength.

In the battle of Dangyang Peak organized by Luohe Pavilion to destroy the Zhensheng Sect, the warrior of Yaohua Palace who had an affair with him and was expelled from the sect killed Chu Jun with her own hands to show her determination - at least that's what she said, and there was indeed a corpse. Everyone thought Chu Jun was dead, and no one expected that he was still alive!

It is precisely because of this wrong information that the warriors of Luohe Pavilion have fallen into such a desperate situation.

Huo Shuizhu didn't care about Xu De anymore. With anger gushing out of her eyes, she raised her knife and shouted, "Take her away first! I'll be there soon!"

"I practiced martial arts to damage my brain, but you practiced martial arts to damage your ears..." Chu Jun said in a low voice. He has been practicing magic for a long time, and his accumulated emotions cannot be released. He is in a trance all day long. Now he controls his body like a game character. He can't feel anything and is in a death-like nothingness. Therefore, what he said is difficult for others to understand. "I said, none of you can leave."

Huo Shuizhu ignored him, his scarlet inner energy surging violently. The disciple beside him didn't care about the half-boiled medicine, and reached out to help Han Gongqiu in panic.

The next moment, Chu Jun's pupils dilated, he suddenly opened his mouth and roared, and the deafening sound swept over with his internal energy.

"Roar!!!!!"

The Zhensheng Sect's most powerful sonic martial art, the Wrath of Ghosts and Gods!
