It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

It’s absolutely true.

Suddenly, Shengsheng felt sad.

"There's no need to look for it."

She wants to...

"After so many years, no matter how many mysteries there were, they have already been thoroughly studied by others. The valuable ones should have disappeared long ago."

——On that day of that year, that month, I was dressed in gorgeous clothes and died in the blooming season of youth.

Time flies by without a trace, just like running water.

——It is enough for me to remember the most beautiful moment of my life... Let my body and soul retain the most perfect impression of each other.

Shengsheng, a face-obsessed man, even dislikes his own rotting corpse.

After thousands of thoughts.

I finally found a more suitable reason to convince myself, and I felt relieved.

"Xia Liu, is there an upper limit to your life span now?"

After calming down, Shengsheng continued to ask questions.

Longevity has always been what people seek since ancient times, and it is also the deepest desire engraved in the consciousness of living beings! Although Xia Li is no longer a human, the ghost will also be annihilated.

One day, she had dinner with Xiang Yi.

The other party inadvertently mentioned that the lifespan of ghosts is limited to three hundred years... Only very few ghosts know this news, and Xiang Yi also learned about it from Lu Man.

and so.

Shengsheng is very concerned about the matter of extending life...

"To answer the young lady, yes."

"...Since we were nearly forty, our appearance was still that of a twenty-year-old. Lady Hua noticed something. She has been recording the rise and fall of our qi and blood, and she speculated that our lifespan should have been extended by about fifty years."

——Fifty years?

Xia Li calculated secretly in his heart that Xiao Liuzi was already 13 years old when the chaos broke out in Xizhou. Now, one hundred and thirty years have passed, and there are only seven years left before his death.

No wonder I was about to say something like if it was a little later, I might not be able to wait for her.

However, there was one thing she couldn't figure out...

"Since their life spans have been extended to fifty, why is Hua Shuangxue still alive?"

"Master Hua is different from us."

"What is the difference?"

"Master Hua, she..."

At this point, the admiration and respect in the old woman's eyes almost overflowed.

Even the tone of voice unconsciously became a little higher.

"...In the twentieth year of the chaos, Master Hua went into seclusion in Liangshan. He sat in meditation for three days, practiced martial arts for seven days, and climbed to the top of the mountain alone for nine days to look up and down at the sky and earth... At dawn, he finally saw the scenery and [observed the weather]."

"What? Look at the qi!"

Shengsheng was shocked and thought he had heard it wrong.

"...It's the 45th year of the chaos. Hua Shuangxue is only years old. Is she already looking for Qi?!"

There are seven grades and four realms in martial arts.

There are eleven steps in total.

After achieving the fourth level, a warrior can be called a "grandmaster".

However, the Grandmaster is not the strongest person in Tushan Country. The real peak of martial arts is after the fourth level, which is what Xia Liu just mentioned, "seeing the scenery and observing the spirit."

See the scenery...

It means seeing and hearing the true scene between heaven and earth.

And "wangqi" is to describe the specific appearance of the real scene.

In short, this world is filled with endless "qi"... When a warrior cultivates his own qi and blood to a certain level, he can vaguely sense this "qi".

Even though they sensed it, and whether it was the human body or the soul of the ghost, they were extremely thirsty for this "qi" and wanted to absorb it into their bodies...

but.

But it is absolutely impossible to do.

——I can’t understand it.

Martial artists below the Grandmaster level simply cannot comprehend the "Qi", let alone absorb it into their bodies, and they are unable to even make the most basic use of it.

Only after seeing the scenery can one understand the method and gradually collect the "treasures" scattered between heaven and earth for one's own use.

this realm.

It's about looking at the qi.

——The true pinnacle of martial arts is the Qi-wang realm.

There are only a few people who can achieve this level in Tushan country in a hundred years. As far as Shengsheng knows, in her lifetime, there were no warriors in the Wangqi level in Xizhou, but there was one in Dongzhou.

His surname is Chu and his given name is Ying.

He was the Wu Jinxiu of the previous generation and had served as the national teacher of Tushan.

Later, it seemed that because of something that happened to his apprentice, he broke into the palace and questioned Tushan Jun face to face. Thousands of guards were killed or injured. At this point, the king and his ministers fell out... Afterwards, Chu Ying forcibly resigned from the position of national teacher.

The king could do nothing about her and had to let her go...

The majesty is evident from this.

Chu Ying.

He was also the only [Grand Master] in Tushan Kingdom at that time. Shengsheng was extremely envious when he heard his story and looked forward to the day when he would be so awesome.

——I go my own way and go wherever I want!

"Miss, you heard it right. It's exactly the Qi-watching technique."

"......That year, all twelve cities in Western Province fell. It was Lady Hua who turned the tide and saved the people from disaster. With her status as a Grand Master, she shocked Western Province and signed the [Mist Sea Covenant] with the ghost leaders, establishing a ceasefire agreement for the next sixty years."

"It is because of the Mist Sea Covenant that we were able to build a new city and continue the human race's incense to this day."

——Go away! Hua Shuangxue, you are the girl of destiny.

——I thought it was me.

When she thought that others were saving the common people, she, a genuine time traveler, was still sleeping in the No. 3 Yunyin Pit. Shengsheng felt ashamed...

Am I really a useless sister?

——Wow, I’m so embarrassed for my seniors.

"With the strength of a Grandmaster, can he only defend one side and not counterattack?"

Although a lot of chaotic thoughts flashed through my mind, it only lasted for a moment.

Xia Li's attention is still on business.

According to Xiao Liuzi, Hua Jiu signed a ceasefire agreement with the ghosts back then...which means that Hua Jiu cannot suppress the other side, otherwise he would not have rebuilt the new city.

"Yes, ma'am."

"...The Yinhun are already in power. The chaos and slaughter lasted for twenty years, and too many people died. Because of this, there are many more powerful people among the Yinhun. The mayors of the twelve cities alone have four grandmasters and six half-step grandmasters... If it weren't for Master Hua, our clan would have been destroyed."

Recalling the past, Old Mrs. Xia was filled with emotion.

At the same time, he had great respect for Hua Shuangxue in his heart.

——Four Grandmasters?!

Hear the words.

Sheng Sheng was secretly shocked, wondering how those people managed to survive back then.

You should know that before the chaos came, there was only one master in charge of Xizhou... The "Flowers" and "Winds" in the Five Brocades guarded the two major gates of Renwang City and Yutai City.

Although Wu Jinxiu was extremely talented, the Jinxiu of that generation had only been selected for about ten years and were still young.

Whether it's Hua Shuangxue who protects Inou Castle, or Qi Danyu who protects Yutai Castle...

Both of them only have the cultivation level of a quasi-grandmaster.

In other words.

At the beginning of the chaos, there was only one Grandmaster and two Quasi-Grandmasters among the human warriors in Xizhou...including the mysterious 'ex-husband' Ning Yun, there were only three Quasi-Grandmasters at most.

Although I don’t know if any strong person will appear in the past twenty years.

But it is definitely not as much as the ghosts, otherwise Xia Liu would not have said anything about the extinction of the race. Hua Jiu turned the tables in such a big disadvantageous situation, which is really powerful.

Xia Li was shocked and sighed...

As she was amazed, she suddenly remembered something.

On the night of the chaos in Xizhou, Hua Shuangxue fought with Ning Jun until they were almost exhausted, and left immediately after the incident. How did she get together with Qiliuwusi later and even come to steal his body?

Chapter 60: Faith of Flowers

"...At that time, we were all fighting the ghosts at the inner city gate. It took about an incense stick of time for Master Hua to arrive."

Shengsheng asked the doubts in her mind.

Xia Liu told her the story, and the old woman's cloudy eyes flashed a little light from time to time, as if those long-lost memories could still touch her heart.

Hua Shuangxue must have used some treasure to restore her vitality. Although her strength has not returned to its peak, the battle situation that was about to collapse was alleviated after her arrival...

of course.

Ultimately they were unable to hold on, as the ghosts' attack was extremely fierce and premeditated.

The momentum is comparable to the drastic change that was also initiated by ghosts three hundred years ago!

With Hua Shuangxue fighting desperately and almost madly, and fighting everywhere... the warriors defending the inner city held out for more than three hours, delaying enough time for the people in the city to evacuate, before finally fighting their way out of the city together.

at that time.

Only dozens of warriors survived. Even City Lord Ning and strong men like Old Xun who came to celebrate his birthday were killed in the city.

The crowd was divided into two groups, one group went to Kaitai City to report the news, and the other group with only five people went to Dingbei City.

The team from Dingbei City is led by Hua Shuangxue, and its members are 7654... 7654321 from the Xia Mansion. They all have great talent in martial arts, otherwise Shengsheng would not have adopted them given his character of not doing anything without profit.

The seven of them have all achieved good cultivation.

Only three people died during the chaos.

Hua Shuangxue led the remaining four people all the way north. Whether it was intentional or coincidental, they actually caught up with the Ning sisters.

"... Ning Xun carried the young lady on her back, and her body was covered in blood. When we arrived, the young lady was already dead."

"Master Hua was so distraught upon seeing this that he rushed towards them desperately, wanting to take the young lady back."

"Ning Jun refused, and Lord Hua fought with her again without saying a word... We also went to help and attacked Ning Xun together. It's a pity that we are not strong enough, and the four of us can't take her down."

Speaking of this, the old woman's tone was a little depressed. I guess the blow at that time was quite big for her.

However, Shengsheng did not think that 7654 was too weak.

After all, he had just fought a bloody battle with the ghosts in Nioh Castle and escaped death...

When I fight my sister-in-law again, I am afraid I will be exhausted and too weak to fight anymore. So if you are not strong enough, don't be discouraged.

"...The battle on Lord Hua's side was also going badly. Compared to the fight in broad daylight, Ning Yun had a zither in her arms. Every time she plucked the strings, invisible sword energy was emitted, which was extremely powerful."

"He actually suppressed Master Hua easily."

"Fortunately, Lady Hua made a breakthrough in the battle and was promoted to Grandmaster, otherwise the young lady's body would have been taken away by the Ning sisters..."

Xia Liu talked a lot.

Hua Shuangxue was extremely sad and angry. She talked about how she was furious and lost her composure when she couldn't snatch the young lady away, and how she relied on this obsession to break through the shackles, and so on... After she finished speaking, she let out a long sigh, as if it was a fortunate thing that she had snatched Shengsheng's body at that time.

At first Shengsheng didn't react.

When she heard Xia Liu's narration, her mood couldn't help but fluctuate.
