"Why? Of course it's to scare the monkeys!" Zuo Le said with a bitter smile, "You must have heard that the Yu family was besieged and fled to Chenglin County, right?"
"Yeah." Qin Ziling nodded.
"It is said that the Yu family was found to be in collusion with the rebel Wang Lang of Nanding Prefecture and the Corpse Demon Sect. The Pang family united with the Lin family and used this as an excuse to seize the post of Yu Hongshan County Lieutenant and led troops to besiege the Yu family.
Originally, the Xiao family, the Lu family and the Yu family were all prosperous allies, but this matter involved rebellion and collusion with the Demon Sect, and the evidence was said to be conclusive, so the Xiao family and the Lu family did not dare to come forward, otherwise the Pang family and the Lin family did not dare to besiege them.
Yu family.
But after all, the Yu family is the largest family in Fangsheng City, second only to the Pang family in strength. Yu Hongshan is the county lieutenant in charge of the army. There are countless members of the Yu family and their children in the city.
Therefore, in this battle, although the Pang family and the Lin family defeated the Yu family and uprooted the Yu family from the city, in the end, many direct descendants of the Yu family broke out of the siege and fled to Chenglin County.
Chenglin County is where the Yu family started. The Zhoujiazhuang of the five major forces outside the city is located in Chenglin County. It is secretly a force supported by the Yu family.
The Yu family fled to Chenglin County, relying on the county city and Zhoujiazhuang outside the county to form a mutual support force. Pang Qiwei led troops and horses to attack for a while, with some serious casualties. In addition, he was worried about the rebellion between the Xiao family and the Lu family, so he had to give up and return.
County, make plans again.
The Yu family has been operating in Fangshu City for generations, and is involved in many industries in the city, a large part of which is grain and rice. People depend on food. When the Yu family left, they burned the grains and rice stored in the warehouse. Fangshu City's rice supply has now become a
problem, and of course there are many other problems.
It can be said that the departure of the Yu family left behind a devastated and messy Fangshu City. The Xiao family and the Lu family naturally stood by and watched, unable to help the Pang family and the Lin family clean up the mess.
The Pang family and the Lin family had just taken care of the Yu family, so they did not dare to touch the Xiao family and the Lu family again, otherwise it would really shake the foundation of Fangli City.
A turbulent and chaotic Fangshu City is definitely not what the Pang family and the Lin family want. But the Pang family and the Lin family finally uprooted the Yu family. Without the constraints of the largest force, they will naturally not miss the opportunity to conquer all the forces.
The Xiao family and the Lu family couldn't move for the time being, so they decided to target martial artists like us.
I had previously kicked Nangong Yue out of the door, which was equivalent to a slap in the face of the Lin family. Now that I am a Huajin martial arts master, I am gaining momentum. Naturally, the Pang family wants to use me to scare everyone.
Originally, this was nothing. I was a Huajin martial artist and Pang Qiwei was the county guard. He and his contemporaries from the Pang family were definitely not suitable to take action. On the Lin family side, Lin Tianjun and Lin Tianrui, among the second generation figures, were both captains of the defense army.
They are of high position and have great authority, and they are all about the same age as me and in the same realm. Firstly, they cannot lower their status to compete with me, and secondly, they are not sure of defeating me.
Therefore, even if the Pang and Lin families wanted to perform surgery on me, there was no suitable candidate. But it happened that Pang Qiwei's son Pang Tianpeng returned to Fangcheng City from Jinliemen to study martial arts a while ago.
In terms of seniority, Pang Tianpeng is the same as the third generation of the Lin family. He has no official position or position. He came to me in the name of discussing and asking for advice, which is justified. Even if I knew his intentions, I would not be able to refuse unless I was willing to surrender and submit to the Pang family.
This Pang Tianpeng is really powerful. He has already reached the realm of bone refining at the age of only twenty-eight. It is said that like his father, he also has iron arms as the foundation to condense his strength. He has been learning the family's secret skill Tongbei from his father since he was a child.
Iron Arm Fist, and also learned Vajra Flame Palm from Long Xiaotian, the elder of Jinlie Sect.
The palms are like swords, the iron arms are like spears and sticks, and the force emitted is extremely fierce, and it also has the property of burning flames. Once it is penetrated out of the body, it will penetrate into the body like flames, causing the flames to burn the body, which is very serious.
.
I only exchanged two moves with him before he hit me in the chest with his palm. If I hadn't cultivated the Cold Iron Strength, which is cold and hard, and could neutralize part of his strength, I would have been seriously injured on the spot.
After all, Pang Tianpeng still had to take his reputation and influence into consideration, so he didn't kill me again after the slap. Of course, he also believed that this slap had seriously damaged my strength foundation. At my age, I would probably lose my energy, blood, and strength within a few years.
, and eventually became the most ordinary martial artist.
After this incident, I closed down the boxing academy in the city and moved all the boxing academy to Shuiyue Villa and strengthened the scope. Seeing that I was severely injured by Pang Tianpeng in two or three moves, some of the boxing academy in the city were afraid to succumb to Pang Tianpeng.
The powerful family members became guest ministers or generals of the Pang family. There were also some people who had roots in the village outside the city and were unwilling to succumb to the Pang family, so they withdrew from the county and relied on the village to form their own power.
However, this is not a long-term solution. The Pang family and the Lin family now have to clean up the mess left by the Yu family and prepare for the Yu family's counterattack. Of course, the Xiao family and the Lu family are also watching eagerly, so they can't make room for the time being.
Take action to completely conquer the forces outside the city like us.
Once the Pang family and the Lin family sort out the mess left by the Yu family, organize their troops and capture Chenglin County, and then suppress the Xiao family and the Lu family until they dare not move, I'm afraid it's time to deal with us one by one."
Having said this, Zuo Le looked angry and worried.
"Since the Yu family can escape from the county and occupy Chenglin County, they obviously still have some strength. They cannot just sit back and wait for the Pang family and the Lin family to attack and destroy them.
Also, didn't you say that the Yu family colluded with the Wang family in Nanding Prefecture and the Corpse Demon Sect? In the past, we had to keep things secretive and didn't dare to rely on those forces too much. Now we are definitely letting go and borrowing these external forces.
Therefore, it is definitely not that easy for the Pang family and the Lin family to attack and destroy them."
Qin Ziling saw the worried look on Zuo Le's face and mentioned the Pang family's attack on Chenglin County. He couldn't help but suddenly think of the ambush he encountered on the mountain trail outside the city during the fourth watch.
The other party mistook him for a member of the Yu family.
"You are right. Recently I heard some rumors that the Yu family has sent many skilled assassins to specifically select the children of the Pang family and the Lin family to assassinate them. For this reason, the Pang family and the Lin family have lost many skilled assassins," Zuo Le said.
.
"That's right. The Yu family is a local family. Ming's power has been uprooted, but there must be some secret agents left in the city. With them acting as internal agents, it is still easy to get some information or sneak in some assassins. Hehe
, of course the Xiao family and the Lu family must be happy to do it." After hearing this, Qin Ziling completely understood why he was ambushed.
"That's true, but once the Yu family left, the Pang family and the Lin family now have an absolute advantage in Fangshu City, and Pang Tianpeng has now broken through and become a great bone refining martial artist, and behind him is one of the three major martial arts sects in Xiyunzhou.
Long Xiaotian, the elder of the Jinlie Sect, is at the peak of his power.
It is impossible for the Xiao family and the Lu family to shake their power and prestige, and they will have to surrender to them sooner or later." Zuo Le said rather pessimistically.
"The three major martial arts sects in Xiyun Prefecture?" Qin Ziling had a look of inquiry on his face.
Since his rebirth, his mind has been focused on martial arts training. Except for the big forces in Fangshan County who know it well, the forces in other places don't know much about it.
"Xiyun Prefecture has eight counties under its jurisdiction, and there are many martial arts sects. However, there are only three sects with martial arts masters, Jinlie Sect, Hunyuan Sect and Feixing Sect. Jinlie Sect is located in Jinyan Mountain outside the city.
Lord Bai Yu Lieyang is a master of Zang Refining Realm, and his strength is unfathomable.
Hunyuan Sect is located in Yunrui County, and its sect leader Mu Ziqing is a martial arts master at the Zang-refining realm. Feixing Sect is located in Qinghe County, and its leader Donnie Yen is also a martial arts master at the Zang-refining realm.
"Donnie Yen?" Qin Ziling's expression suddenly became very subtle when he heard this.
In his world, this was a world-famous martial arts superstar!
"Is there any problem?" Zuo Le glanced at Qin Ziling in surprise.
"No, I just think the name is very good." Qin Ziling said casually.
"Really?" Zuo Le muttered, and then continued: "These three people are recognized as the three major martial arts masters in Xiyun Prefecture. They are powerful and have a transcendent status. Pang Tianpeng's master, Long Xiaotian, the elder of the Jinlie Sect
It is said that he is a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining."
"A great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining?" Qin Ziling's face changed slightly.
"Yes, although the great martial arts masters in the late stage of bone refining are not as strong as the martial arts masters, they are definitely as powerful as the giant pillars to us!" Zuo Le looked worried again.
"Long Xiaotian is Long Xiaotian, and Pang Tianpeng is Pang Tianpeng. I think as an elder of the three major martial arts sects in Xiyunzhou, under normal circumstances, he should not easily interfere in the affairs of our Fangshan County. The imperial court must also have this
regulations." Qin Ziling said.
"That's for sure. The family has family rules and the state has national laws. After all, warriors are also in white clothes. How can they interfere in the affairs of the imperial court and the country at will? But now that the world is getting chaotic, the imperial court's control and suppression of martial arts sects has become weaker and weaker.
.
Even if Long Xiaotian is unable to take action due to the regulations of the court and the constraints of various forces, he can still send his disciples to help the Pang family.
This time, Pang Tianpeng came to Fangshan County with two of Long Xiaotian's favorite disciples. One was named Qin Gen and the other was Sui Wufang. They were both young men in their twenties, but they were already Huajin.
realm.
These two are nominally following Pang Tianpeng down the mountain for training, but actually they are here to help the Pang family," Zuo Le said.
"It's different if you have a prominent family background in Zhoucheng. However, behind the Yu family are the Nanding Zhou Wang family and the Corpse Demon Sect. The Xiao family and the Lu family are not vegetarians. They must have some backers behind them, so it's too early to draw a conclusion now.
morning.
But no matter what happens in the future, our top priority now is to strengthen our own strength. Only with stronger strength can we have greater voice and self-protection ability in the unknown future." Qin Ziling said with a serious expression.
He knew that the facts were before him, and it would be difficult to completely dispel Zuo Le's pessimistic mentality.
Unless he tells Zuo Le, he has a bigger trump card in hand, and Xiao Qing of the Xiao family is already a Huajin martial artist. Once he breaks through, even Pang Tianpeng will be inferior to her.
After all, Zuo Le was a martial artist who had gone through many storms. Hearing this, his expression gradually became awe-inspiring.
"Don't worry. Since I said that this old man will be at your disposal from now on, no matter what the predicament is, I will spare no effort. And I believe that you are by no means a creature in the pool. I just need to give you time." Zuo Le said solemnly.
.
"Yes, time!" Qin Ziling nodded with emotion after hearing this, and then said, "By the way, Master Zuo, since it is convenient to talk about it, please tell me about the Qi Refining Sect in Xiyun Prefecture."
"The Qi Refining Sect is much more mysterious than the martial arts sect. We in the martial arts community rarely talk about it. In addition, Fangshan County is located in a remote corner of the country, with poor mountains and rivers. There is no Qi Refining Taoist sect established here, so what I know is very limited.
I only know that the most powerful Qi refining sects in Xiyun Prefecture are the Biyun Sect in Taihuang Mountain in Qinghe County, and the Xuanwu Valley in the prefecture city.
In addition to these two sects, there are many qi refining sects and families in Xiyun Prefecture. But if you want to know the specific strength and powerful figures, I am afraid you will have to ask someone in the qi refining world or I will ask someday.
Lu Taiqiang’s father, Lu Jiancang, asked about it.
After all, the Lu family is one of the five major families in Fangshu City. They have business dealings with various places in Xiyun Prefecture, and the people they come into contact with must have much wider sources of information than I do." Zuo Le said.
"That's not necessary, I'm just asking casually." Qin Ziling waved his hand, then stood up and said, "I will go to the city to check the situation now, and I will send you good things to recover from your injuries later."
"What kind of good thing is it?" Zuo Le was shocked and couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Hey, Master Zuo will know it then." Qin Ziling said mysteriously.
"You guy, you are trying to get away from me!" Seeing Qin Ziling's mysterious look, Qin Ziling seemed to be infected, and his heavy heart suddenly became much lighter.
…
After leaving Shuiyue Villa, Qin Ziling strode towards Fangshu City.
On a summer morning, the city should have been quite lively with people coming and going, but Qin Ziling felt a bit of winter desolation, with few people walking on the street.
Many houses in the city were smashed and burned, leaving people empty and showing signs of dilapidation.
"The foundation of the Yu family should not be underestimated. It seems that the Pang family has driven away the Yu family, but Fangcheng City is his foundation. Now that he has been tortured like this, it actually shakes his own foundation.
In the past, the Pang family has never really touched the Yu family, the Xiao family and the Lu family. In addition to taking into account their strength, it should also have a lot to do with the fear of ruining Fang Changcheng and shaking his own foundation. But why is he so determined this time?
?Is it really just because the Yu family colluded with the Wang family and the Corpse Demon Sect in Nanding Prefecture?
In today's world, as long as these collusions are not brought to light, what does it matter? Don't the Pang family in Zhoucheng have the ambition to support their own troops and cede territory to become kings? Maybe one day they will be like the Zhou Mu of Nanding Prefecture.
Rebellious to the Emperor of Da Qi.
Pang Qiwei must know something about the secret affairs of the Yu family. Why would he suddenly attack the Yu family?" Qin Ziling looked at the changes around him, thinking to himself, and unknowingly walked to the "Hua Yun" gouache and rouge shop.
Yun Lan is still so charming, and a set of white shirt and skirt perfectly outlines her graceful and beautiful tall figure.
In particular, Yun Lan's expression of surprise when she first saw Qin Ziling, the beautiful blush on her elegant and white neck like a swan, and the uncontrollable rise and fall of her plump breasts still made Qin Ziling stunned and a little smug.
Feel.
In another world, no beautiful woman would even glance at him when he was walking on the street. How could he be so excited by just showing up here?
Qin Ziling casually asked about the situation of the "Hua Yun" gouache and rouge store, and learned that the business situation was not bad, but the newly opened store in Nancheng was affected by the Yu family incident and was not as satisfactory.
"The business matter is not urgent. Fang Shucheng is just a small place, and it is a bit chaotic now. It is not a place for long-term development. Just maintain it." After Qin Ziling learned about the situation, he made an understatement, and then changed the subject and said, "The progress of your cultivation
how's it going?"
He has a bigger business plan in mind, but now is not the time. This time he came to the "Hua Yun" gouache and rouge shop mainly because he wanted to know the progress of Yun Lan's cultivation.
"I have completed the Qi and Qi treatment two days ago, and now I am trying to remove the waste and retain the essence." Yun Lan lowered her voice and replied.
"What?" Qin Ziling almost couldn't believe his ears.
Qi refining is very advanced and difficult to get started with.
For example, the Wuhe Taoist practiced hard for five years before he was able to achieve Shi Qi and unblock the meridians.
As a result, there were three women and one man who taught him this way.
Zuo Cong completed Shi Qi Tongmai in about two months, and he also had a single spiritual root of the metal system.
My mother, Mrs. Cui, has passed the age of cultivation. With the help of various nourishing methods, she was able to complete part of the food intake and unblocking of the meridians in just six months.
As for Yin Dian Yue, it is even more exaggerated. It is said that it is an extremely rare thunder spiritual root. Before it can complete the Qi Qi channel, it was forcibly taken away by the master and worshiped in the immortal gate.
Now Yun Lan has completed the Shi Qi Tongmai in just over two months.
This is too exaggerated.
"Mr. Qin, do you have any questions?" Yun Lan couldn't help but look uneasy when she saw this.
"No problem, I'll take a pulse for you." Qin Ziling said.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Yun Lan stretched out her arm and put it on the table.
Qin Ziling tapped his fingers on her Hao wrist.
The breath in the meridians is turbid, and there is no distinction between high and low, strong and weak.
When Qin Ziling saw that Yun Lan, like himself, had mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, he was inevitably disappointed, but he was inexplicably relieved.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
If you meet this person casually, he is a genius in qi refining. Not to mention, Qin Ziling feels really guilty.
It's relatively normal now.
"How is Mr. Qin?" Seeing Qin Ziling's obviously relieved look, Yun Lan relaxed her uneasy mood and asked with a smile.
"If you don't have spiritual roots, you can only cultivate to the stage of eliminating the waste and retaining the essence." Qin Ziling replied truthfully.
Yun Lan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, with a look of disappointment clearly flashing across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Qin. In that case, please take this scroll back and go to Wu Cunjing."
I have memorized all the exercises."
Yun Lan turned around, took out the "Canglang Jue" that she had kept close to her, and handed it back to Qin Ziling.
"That's fine." Qin Ziling took back the scroll and looked at Yun Lan with a look of appreciation and admiration. He had already vaguely guessed in his heart why she could complete Qi Qi Tongmai so quickly.
At the critical moment of life and death in Sanyuan Mountain, face it calmly and calmly.
Now when faced with such important gains and losses in cultivation, after knowing the results, I can still face them with an open mind and a calm mind.
How many people can have this state of mind?
"The soul is more important than the mind. She may be a seedling who can cultivate the soul!" A thought suddenly came to Qin Ziling's mind.
However, this idea was quickly suppressed by him.
The way of the soul and the corpse-raising ring are his biggest secrets.
Even if Yun Lan really has the talent to cultivate the divine soul, he would never teach it to her at this time. At least, he should wait until he has the ability to stifle the crisis even if the secret is revealed before he can consider teaching Yun Lan the way of the divine soul.
After that, the two chatted for a while, and then Qin Ziling stood up and left.
…
In the summer, I live in the mountains, the backyard is lush and green, and there are fish swimming in the pool under the rockery, which brings a bit of coolness to people.
Qin Ziling was sitting alone in the pavilion, sipping tea. Outside the pavilion, there were two large sacks, exuding a strong smell of wild animals and blood.
Suddenly a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
Dressed in white, her legs are long and straight, her face has clear lines, her nose is high, and she exudes a dash of heroism and ability. Who else could it be if not Xiao Qing?
Xiao Qing's eyes fell on the familiar figure in the pavilion. Her delicate body trembled slightly. Her toes were already on the ground. She soared into the sky like a big bird. When she was about to approach the pavilion, her body drew a graceful arc in the air.
, and then flew down lightly into the pavilion.
"Brother!" Xiao Qing stared straight at Qin Ziling, her eyes slightly red.
"Girls have to be more reserved sometimes!" Qin Ziling stood up with a smile and opened his arms.
Seeing this, Xiao Qing hesitated for a moment, then gently threw herself into his arms.
"Didn't I tell you to be more reserved? Why don't you listen to your elder brother?" Qin Ziling hugged Xiao Qing gently, then let go.
"You..." Xiao Qing, a female master in the realm of energy transformation, finally couldn't help but look like all the little women, raised her pink fist and lightly hit Qin Ziling on the shoulder, and said with a blushing face: "Brother, you want to
If you continue to behave like this, I will ignore you!"
"I reminded the girl to be reserved. What's wrong with that?" Qin Ziling asked.
"You still said that!" Xiao Qing couldn't help but give Qin Ziling two more pink fists, and his strong and strong body swayed accordingly, which was very eye-catching.
"This..." The maid Xia Yan, who arrived shortly after, stood at the entrance of the courtyard and covered her mouth in surprise, as if she had seen a scene not suitable for children.
Is this the aloof young lady from her family?
She is a master of energy transformation and the eldest elder of the Xiao family!
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Miss Xia Yan is here. If she sees it, she will think that I am bullying her young lady!" Qin Ziling saw Xia Yan arriving and quickly dodge with a smile.
"You were bullying me!" Xiao Qing blushed slightly and smoothed down some of her hair, gave Qin Ziling a blank look, and then couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Ziling also laughed, then pointed to the position in the pavilion and motioned for Xiao Qing to sit down, as if he was the master here.
"Brother, why did it take you so long to come back this time?" Xiao Qing asked as she sat down.
"Didn't I prepare something for you and Miss Xia Yan?" Qin Ziling replied casually.
"Brother, are you here again?" Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Qin Ziling angrily.
Qin Ziling smiled and pointed to the two large sacks outside the pavilion.
Xiao Qing and Xia Yan followed the direction of Qin Ziling's fingers and landed on the two big sacks, showing a look of confusion.
Xiao Qing is, after all, a master of energy transfer whose strength is comparable to that of an ordinary bone refining master. His beautiful nose twitched slightly a few times, and soon his face suddenly changed. He suddenly stood up, and then his body swayed, and the person had appeared.
Next to two large sacks.
Xiao Qing waved her hand, and a force like a knife cut through the void, and the ropes tied to the mouth of the bag broke off and fell down.
What is exposed at the mouth of the bag is a bloody ordinary wild animal.
Xiao Qing grabbed it from the air, and the air flow rotated in the palm of his hand, forming a virtual claw to snatch away the bloody ordinary wild object and put it aside on the ground.
Suddenly, a strong aura rushed out, as if a seal had been lifted.
"This, this is the Bahuang black python, this, this is the four-eyed green toad! Brother, you, you really..." Xiao Qing's eyes suddenly widened, and then quickly, she turned around suddenly, a pair of
Her beautiful eyes stared at him, and there were clear tears rolling inside.
"No, no, I'm kidding you. I haven't been back for so long. I just concentrated on practicing in seclusion. Then I got lucky and captured these two big guys, so I brought them back to you for a taste." Qin Ziling saw Xiao Qing.
The aloof woman who was comparable to a great bone-refining martial artist actually had tears in her eyes. She couldn't help being startled, and she quickly stood up and rubbed her hands together.
It's just that it's hard for Xiao Qing to believe Qin Ziling's words.
Both the Eight Wilderness Black Python and the Four-Eyed Green Toad are third-grade exotic beasts. They usually live in the depths of Wuyang Mountain. If you want to kill one, you can say that you are lucky, and you occasionally encounter them in the periphery.
But if we hunted two third-grade exotic beasts, they must have been deep in Wuyang Mountain.
Deep in Wuyang Mountain, even with Xiao Qing's current level of cultivation, she would definitely not enter unless she was forced to do so.
But Qin Ziling went in and risked his life to hunt down two third-grade exotic beasts. Not only did he immediately bring some to her, but he also looked playful and relaxed.
How could Xiao Qing not be moved by this?
Xia Yan also had tears in her eyes.
Not only was she moved by the friendship between Qin Ziling and her young lady, but also because Qin Ziling had just said that he would take her with him, even if it was just out of politeness, it already made Xia Yan flattered and moved.
In the Xiao family, even though she has broken through and become a powerful martial artist, how many of the real upper echelons of the Xiao family, besides Xiao Qing, really respect her?
"Phew!" Seeing Qin Ziling's nervous look, Xiao Qing suddenly laughed, but tears rolled down at this moment.
"I told you that girls should be more reserved, why didn't you listen? You laughed and shed tears at the same time!" Qin Ziling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and quickly handed over the handkerchief and said.
"It's not all your fault!" Xiao Qing gave Qin Ziling a feminine look again, and then said: "You'd better take these back. I'm the eldest elder of the Xiao family now, and Xia Yan and I don't lack the resources to supplement."
"But there is definitely a shortage of third-grade exotic beasts, and these two third-grade exotic beasts, one wood and one water, are exactly in line with your Qinglong Xuanmu Skill. I must have brought them back to you because there is no shortage.
If you want to step into the realm of bone refining, you must have a solid foundation, and the greater your hope of breakthrough. The stronger you are, in fact, the stronger I am.
Xia Yan is yours, in fact, she is also mine! Ahem, I mean one of my own!" Qin Ziling quickly corrected her.
"It's okay, Mr. Qin." Xia Yan said with a slight blush.
Although she is older than Xiao Qing, she is still a young lady. If Xiao Qing gets married in the future, she, the maid, will definitely have to follow him.
It's okay that Xia Yan didn't answer. This answer made Qin Ziling's heart tremble.
what does this mean?
Xiao Qing glanced at Xia Yan, and then said to Qin Ziling with a serious face: "Since the elder brother said so, I won't be polite to you. The situation in Fang Shuicheng is quite urgent now. Xia Yan and I really need to improve our strength as soon as possible, and
I plan to take the family’s secret medicine to achieve a breakthrough during this period.”
"There's no need to be in such a hurry!" Qin Ziling frowned.
"Yes!" Xiao Qing nodded solemnly and said, "The Yu family was driven out of Fangshu City. The Pang family is now truly a dominant force. If they join forces with the Lin family, the Xiao family and the Lu family will already be overwhelmed.
.Recently, Pang Tianpeng returned from the Jin Lie Sect to study martial arts, and he also brought two junior brothers Hua Jin with him.
As soon as Pang Tianpeng came back, he first wounded Master Zuo and forced all the martial arts masters in Fang Changcheng to either leave or choose to join the Pang family. Not only that, Pang Tianpeng also visited the Xiao family and the Lu family on the pretext of asking for advice. He forced my uncle and
Lu Jianhui had to laugh and admit defeat, not daring to accept the challenge.
It can be said that the Pang family is now very powerful. If this momentum continues to develop, I am afraid that within a few years, there will be no need for the Pang family to take harsh measures, and both the Xiao family and the Lu family will gradually decline.
Therefore, the Xiao and Lu families must produce someone who can compete with the genius Pang Tianpeng to suppress the Pang family's momentum."
When Qin Ziling heard this, he frowned slightly and said: "I heard that Pang Tianpeng used the iron sheets on his arms as the foundation to condense his strength, and he is the leader of two families. Even if you take the secret medicine and break through to the bone refining realm,
You may not be able to defeat him.
And don’t forget how your grandfather passed away! Pang Qiwei will not allow the Xiao family to have a second flag-bearer. Even if you can compete with Pang Tianpeng, they will definitely find a way to get rid of you. Unless
Your strength has reached a level where it is difficult for them to kill you.
Therefore, my idea is to continue to endure it, sit back and watch the fight between the Pang family and the Yu family, and wait for the opportunity. The Pang family can overthrow the Yu family in the name of the Yu family's collusion with the rebels and the demon sect. In the future, the Xiao family may not be able to
The same name brought down the Pang family."
Xiao Qing is such a smart person. When he heard this, his face changed slightly and he said, "Did brother discover something?"
"When I came back yesterday, I was ambushed by someone. They thought I was from the Yu family. Those people's auras were cold and strange, and they could hide under the cover of night, making it difficult to guard against them," Qin Ziling replied.
"It's them! People from the Nether Sect! Yu Hongshan is in charge of military affairs and has trained many direct soldiers over the years. Logically speaking, even if the Pang and Lin families join forces, they cannot be defeated so quickly.
At that time, we suspected that the Pang and Lin families must have hired foreign aid, but we did not expect that they were people from the Nether Sect!" Xiao Qing's eyes showed deep hatred, and her tall and tall chest kept rising and falling.
"People from the Nether Sect!" Qin Ziling's heart moved slightly, thinking of the evil place in the back mountain of Sanyuan, and the strong man he saw galloping towards him later. Suddenly, many lines were connected, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
He gave a complicated wry smile.
Damn it, I am the driving force behind the Pang family's sudden attack on the Yu family!
"That's right, people from the Nether Sect are best at assassination, and the techniques they practice are very strange. Their strength contains cold death energy. Once it invades the body, it cannot be expelled in time. It is like gangrene attached to the bone. It is very difficult.
Eradication." At this point, Xiao Qing's face suddenly changed slightly, "Brother, are you okay?"
"Do you think I'm in trouble?" Qin Ziling asked with a smile, and then said thoughtfully: "It seems that although the Yu family has been forced to flee Fangshu City, the threat to the Pang family is still great, otherwise the Nether Sect will
People should have left, not stay here.
After all, people from the Nether Sect are shady, and if they are really accused of colluding with the Demon Sect, Pang Qiwei may not even be able to keep his position as county governor."
Xiao Qing thought for a moment after hearing this, and said: "Your guess is correct. According to the information we got, the Yu family collected many refugees from Jiugao County and Heya County in Chenglin County, and it is said that there are also
People from the Corpse Demon Sect appeared in Chenglin County with zombies."
After hearing this, Qin Ziling suddenly felt an indescribable sense of urgency.
Heya County borders the vassal state of Luodian. Last year, Luodian State rebelled against Da Qi. Not only did it no longer pay tribute, but it also invaded Heya County several times.
Heya County and Fangshu County are next to each other. Once Luodian Kingdom invades Heya County in a large scale and captures Heya County, it is very likely that it will attack Fangshu County.
Jiugao County is separated from Nandingzhou by a large river.
Originally, Jiugao County was considered a large county in Xiyun Prefecture, with a tall city and strong soldiers and horses. However, in recent years, there have been successive natural disasters. The government not only refused to open the granaries and distributed relief items, but also continued to increase taxes, making the people unable to make a living. Many places have risen up and rebelled.
Already.
Once Wang Lang completely pacifies Nanding Prefecture and sends his troops across the river, God knows whether Jiugao County can resist it?
Once Wang Lang's army captures Jiugao County and unites with Yujiatun's soldiers and horses in Chenglin County...
"It seems we have to find a way out in advance!" Qin Ziling sighed.
Of course, he would not be so arrogant as to think that in just a few years, he would be able to cultivate a strong team and grow into a peerless man with incredible abilities.
"Brother, are you worried about Nanding Prefecture and Luodian Country?" Seeing Qin Ziling suddenly mentioning his retreat, Xiao Qing's heart moved slightly and she asked.
"Although the small Luodian Kingdom may not dare to invade the Great Qi Kingdom in a large scale, Wang Lang is not so quick to spare his hands, and Fangshan County is just a small place with poor mountains and rivers. But in any case, we must prepare for the worst and be prepared for a rainy day.
."
Qin Ziling nodded, and then changed the topic: "But this matter is not urgent at this moment, you should seize the time to improve your strength. After a while, we will go to Qinghe County to try our luck and take a look at the situation there.
how."
"Yeah, okay." Xiao Qing nodded.
Seeing Xiao Qing nodding, Qin Ziling stood up.
"Brother, are you leaving?" Xiao Qing asked, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
"I shouldn't be traveling far away recently. If you have something to do, you can send a letter to my master as Qingzhu. After I receive the news, I will come here to meet you the next day." Qin Ziling said.
"Is it a matter of wanting to drink tea with you?" Xiao Qing asked.
"Girls, you have to be reserved." Qin Ziling replied earnestly, and before Xiao Qing could get angry, he added: "Of course drinking tea is an elegant thing, and it suits your status very well. Please invite your beloved ones every once in a while.
Brother, you can still drink it once."
"Puch!" Xiao Qing and Xia Yan couldn't help laughing.
"Let's go!" Qin Ziling waved with a smile and strode towards the door.
However, when walking through the courtyard, Qin Ziling suddenly remembered something and turned around.
"Your Xiao family should also have a backer, right?"
"The Cui family is a prominent family in Qinghe County. My heavenly grandmother was once the direct daughter of the Cui family." Xiao Qing stepped forward and replied.
"What?" Qin Ziling's face changed slightly.
"Is there a problem?" Xiao Qing was surprised when she saw that Qin Ziling, who had always been calm and collected, was a little out of sorts.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little surprised." Qin Ziling replied, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was Grandma Tian who was already in the fifth service, so she was not considered a close relative.
Tsk! What do I want to do with all this? Am I really going to lie down and let her take care of me?
"Really?" Xiao Qing looked at Qin Ziling with bright eyes.
"Otherwise?" Qin Ziling asked back, and then said casually: "It seems that the Cui family is not strong enough, otherwise your Xiao family would not have been defeated to such an extent some time ago."
"The Cui family has declined a few years ago and has lost its glory. Now it is difficult to protect itself and it is difficult to take care of the Xiao family. But even so, the Cui family is still much stronger than the Xiao family. Every year we still have to spend some of it.
We gave them resources and money as tribute, barely maintaining the relationship between the two families," Xiao Qing said.
"Yes!" Qin Ziling nodded, then waved his hand again and walked away.
After leaving Shanye Suju, Qin Ziling did not go home, but went to Xisheng Mountain, which he had not been to for a long time.
Deep in the West Sheng Mountain, the cave where he once practiced remained the same, with no trace of anyone coming there.
Qin Ziling revisited his old place and stood in the spacious cave. He remembered that at this time last year, he was just a cowhide, and he had to be careful and make many calculations and arrangements even when dealing with a mere Yama gang.
But now he has grown into a strong man who can kill Huajin masters. Even if he takes out his trump card, even the great bone refining master may be killed by him if he is not careful. He feels a lot of emotion in his heart.
After sighing with emotion, Qin Ziling took off his clothes, then summoned Yuanda from the corpse ring, and began to continue to temper his body.
In the past, when Qin Ziling was practicing, he had to summon four to guard the entrance of the cave, but now it is no longer necessary.
His current soul has touched the threshold of distraction. Along with Qi refining, both the wood element and the water element have reached the middle stage of true power. Even though he is tempering his physical body, he is still extremely sensitive to changes in the outside atmosphere.
Unless you are a strong bone refiner and can still hide your aura, you will definitely not be able to escape his keen sense when you approach the cave entrance.
The possibility of a bone-refining master deliberately hiding his aura to come to Xisheng Mountain is almost zero.
He tempered his physical body to the limit, and then practiced the "Everlasting Blue Wood Technique" and the "Black Snake Mysterious Water Technique" at the same time.
In this way, Qin Ziling practiced martial arts and Qi refining one after another until the sun set on Xishan Mountain and left Xisheng Mountain.
At night, Qin Ziling took advantage of the darkness and the lack of people to send Zuo Le a piece of Bahuang black python meat and a piece of Four-eyed green toad meat, as well as some precious medicinal materials he picked from the mountains.
Zuo Le was naturally shocked and moved.
After returning from Shuiyue Villa, Qin Ziling chatted with Cui for a while and gave some guidance on Liu Xiaoqiang's martial arts. Even when Shao E was practicing martial arts, he could occasionally point out some shortcomings.
Qin Ziling is a fellow practitioner of the three paths of martial arts, Qi refining, and divine soul. Especially the divine soul, he has practiced to the threshold of distraction. He has a very mysterious and keen intuition that is difficult to describe in words.
Even though his martial arts skills are only at the iron level, he can still keenly detect some subtle deficiencies and stagnation in the movement of Shao'e's energy and blood.
At the end of Xu Shi, Qin Ziling went back to his house to practice the "Immortal Galaxy Visualization Technique".
In the following days, Qin Ziling would go to the cave in Xisheng Mountain during the day, and use the Great Ape Er to exercise alone to polish his body, practice martial arts, and the way to refine Qi.
In the evening, he returned to his home in Anhe Village to accompany Ms. Cui and practice the "Visualization of the Immortal Galaxy". Occasionally, he also took time to give guidance to Liu Xiaoqiang, Shao E, and Bao Yingjun and Yuntai from Shuiyue Villa.
Of course, the advice to Bao Yingjun and Yuntai was private.
Time passes day by day.
I don’t know when, but the hot summer passed quietly, and the green trees on the Xisheng Mountain became more yellow and red. A gust of wind blew, and the fallen leaves were flying all over the sky.
Autumn has arrived.
This is one day three months after returning to Xisheng Mountain.
Qin Ziling walked leisurely on the mountain road in no hurry, stepping on the dead leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound.
Although it was only three months, these three months made Qin Ziling, who had been moving forward bravely since his rebirth, thinking about hunting every day and improving his cultivation as soon as possible, completely calm down.
His calm and determined heart has a touch of mellowness and naturalness.
When practicing martial arts and cultivating Taoism, what is important is relaxation and relaxation.
The situation forced him to make progress in the past, so he was determined to forge ahead and refused to stop.
But three months ago, Qin Ziling made slow progress even after consuming the flesh and blood of third-grade exotic beasts. He realized that he should steady his steps and settle down.
Therefore, in the past three months, apart from normal practice, he spent the rest of his time relatively leisurely. He had more contact with his family and the outside world, instead of practicing alone behind closed doors and not seeing anyone for more than two months.
In the past three months, Zuo Le's injuries have disappeared, and his energy, blood, and skills have become even more refined thanks to the nourishment of two third-grade exotic beasts and precious medicinal materials. However, in front of outsiders, Zuo Le still looks like he has not recovered from his serious injury, and his face is pale and pale.
He has a sickly sallow complexion and his hair is also a lot whiter.
Compared with Zuo Le's "bad" state, Shuiyue Villa is thriving in other aspects.
Qu Chenlong finally succeeded in condensing his strength and became the third powerful martial artist in Shuiyue Villa.
After Zheng Xinghan got rid of the knot in his heart, he forged ahead with determination. There was still a lot of residual power in the Nine-Revolution Blood Essence Strengthening Bone Secret Pill, which was stimulated day by day. He also supplemented it with the meat of exotic animals. In just about half a year, he broke through again and became a Yunjin martial artist.
Now Zheng Xinghan has become a representative figure of late bloomers in Fangshang City martial arts circle, inspiring many martial arts disciples.
The others, Muxuan, Lu Taiqiang, Yu Yan, Shen Xiujin and others had personal guidance from Master Huajin and a large amount of resources to supplement them, even the meat of wild exotic animals, so they made rapid progress.
However, the two people who have made the fastest progress are Bao Yingjun and Yuntai.
With Zuo Le's personal help in hammering, Bao Yingjun's fists were made of iron and his arms were made of cowhide.
The lame Yun Tai tied Nangong Yue's record. He broke through to the cowhide level in just four months after starting martial arts training, which really broke the expectations of many people.
However, due to Zuo Le's instructions, no external news was allowed. Shuiyue Villa is far away from Anhe Village, twelve miles outside the West City. The city has also been in chaos recently. None of this news has spread, especially the matter of Bao Yingjun exercising his arms. Even if Not many people know about Shuiyue Villa.
Otherwise, if it had been before and Hantie Zhangyuan was still open in the city, whether it was Qu Chenlong becoming a powerful martial artist or Yuntai breaking through to the cowhide level in just four months, it would definitely have caused quite a stir.
But now, everyone's attention is focused on the county where assassinations occur from time to time, and on when the Pang family and the Lin family will gather an army to attack Chenglin County again. No one will notice that they live ten years outside the city. Shuiyue Villa, two miles away, is growing in strength.
Compared to Shuiyue Villa, the Qin family has actually changed the most in terms of strength.
In three months, with the supplement of the flesh and blood of third-grade exotic beasts in line with the martial arts, and with the personal guidance and guidance of the martial arts master Zuo Le and the Xiao family genius Xiao Qing on the secrets of transforming energy, Shao'e, who was already extremely talented, was able to successfully break through and become a metamorphosis. Strong martial artist.
Liu Xiaoqiang, on the other hand, is only a little short of completing the iron skin on his arms, and he will have to train for a while. With his natural bones, and Qin Ziling's cultivation at all costs, he will be able to condense his strength next year as expected.
This also means that next year, the Qin family will cultivate a powerful martial artist with double iron arms that only wealthy families are qualified to cultivate!
During the past three months, while Qin Ziling was at home, he moved the phantom lizard raised in the backyard and the black-winged Xuanshui stork kept in the Xiao family to the back hill of Shuiyue Villa.
As a result, the Qin family, which looked very shabby on the outside, became even more inconspicuous. No one would have thought that in this dilapidated house, the guardians of the house were Huajin martial arts masters and martial arts disciples whose arms were about to become iron-clad.
Otherwise, as the three phantom lizard dragons grow up completely, it will be difficult to guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen.
"Time flies so fast, and it's already autumn in the blink of an eye!" A man walked quietly on the mountain road without any hurry, listening to the sound of his feet rustling on the dead leaves, Qin Ziling casually grabbed a tree from the tree The unknown fruit fell down and still had a yellow leaf on it. I put it to my nose and smelled it, and I smelled a hint of the desolation of autumn and the vitality contained in the fruit.
"This is the harvest season!" Qin Ziling said to himself, and then raised his hand without looking back. The unknown fruit in his hand drew an arc in the air, and headed towards the sky more than 20 meters away.
The hollow of an ancient tree fell into the ground.
At the entrance of the tree hole, a fluffy squirrel poked its head, its small black pearl-like eyes staring at the fruit in Qin Ziling's hand. When he saw that he raised his hand, the fruit shot towards it, and it suddenly jumped in fright.
, quickly retracted into the tree hole.
After Qin Ziling threw an unknown fruit to the squirrel, he raised his foot and was about to continue walking forward. Suddenly, his raised foot was hanging in the air, and then he turned around with a look of disbelief.
The squirrel, which had its head out of the tree hole again, saw Qin Ziling suddenly turning around. It was so frightened that it squealed again and retreated back into the tree hole.
But no matter how fast the squirrel was, it could not escape Qin Ziling's gaze.
Qin Ziling stared at the tree hole more than 20 meters away for a while, then slowly closed his eyes.
As soon as my eyelids closed, everything was dark in front of me.
But something very strange happened, and the scene outside appeared in his mind.
The rising sun, the mountain forest, the fallen leaves, the tree hole twenty meters away, and the little squirrel that had its head out of the tree hole again, with its small eyes looking at Qin Ziling warily, all appeared in his mind one by one.
, as if he did not close his eyes now, but saw it with his eyes open.
"My soul has not left my body. It stands to reason that I can only feel the changes in the surrounding airflow through my keen five senses, and then judge the orientation of the surrounding scenery and creatures, and outline a vague image in my mind. It is absolutely impossible to do it with my eyes open.
It's the same as what you see directly.
Unless, unless I have reached the state of distraction! It seems that the soul has not left the body, but when I think about the scene outside, a ray of soul thoughts will separate out, so that it can be like what I see with my own eyes."
Thinking of this, Qin Ziling suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of surprise.
He has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Visualize the eternal stars every night.
Every time I feel like I'm about to cross the threshold of distraction, but I'm always a little short of the mark.
As a result, Qin Ziling never dreamed that while walking quietly in the mountains and forests today, quietly feeling the bleakness of autumn and the vitality contained in this bleakness, his spirit would break through unknowingly.
If he hadn't just thrown a fruit to the squirrel behind him, and suddenly remembered that he didn't look back at all just now, why would a very clear scene behind him, including the squirrel, appear in his mind? I'm afraid he wouldn't have known that he had entered the state of distraction.
realm.
"Autumn is indeed a harvest season!" Qin Ziling raised a smile on his lips, tapped his toes lightly on the ground, and was already flying through the mountains and forests like a ghost.
