Chen Xingzu asked softly: "There is something happening at Cong Yun Mansion. It seems that Ji Changyun has not been idle during this time."
Zuo Chongming took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Yeah, I didn't expect that this guy had been hiding for so long and actually went to find the ancient inheritance."
Chen Xingzu couldn't help frowning and asked hesitantly: "Master Hou, isn't the ancient inheritance broken? Where did he come from..."
Zuo Chongming curled his lips: "The ancient catastrophes affected the world. The so-called inheritance is cut off. It is just rare. He probably got it from overseas."
Chen Xingzu was worried: "Then, will the monk's way affect us? Will it pose a threat to us? Do you want me to take a trip..."
"It doesn't matter."
Zuo Chongming said calmly: "Every era has its mainstream. In ancient times, monks were everywhere, but today, warriors are in charge."
"Warriors are not inferior to monks, and monks are not necessarily better than warriors. We can only say that they both have their own strengths, but they are evenly matched."
Chen Xingzu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "So that's it, my subordinates are overly worried."
"No, there's nothing wrong with using your brain."
Zuo Chongming shook his head and corrected: "It's just that you know very little about the ancient times and the way of monks' cultivation, so you don't think well."
Having said this, his eyes flickered, as if he was deep in thought.
After a while, he said softly: "But having said that, the way of a monk also has merits. At least the upper limit is higher than that of martial arts."
"If we can get some complete inherited skills and send someone to study them in depth, we may be able to find a way forward for martial arts."
Chen Xingzu opened his mouth and said strangely: "The upper limit is higher than that of martial arts? Doesn't this mean that... monks are still better than warriors?"
Zuo Chongming rolled his eyes: "To be precise, he should be strong in theory. Do you know how big the gap is between theory and reality?"
"Theoretically, everyone can achieve the realm of Dharma. But in fact, if you add all the realms of Dharma together, it would be great to have one or two hundred."
"Ah this..."
Only then did Chen Xingzu realize that he was in over his head.
Zuo Chongming continued: "The same is true for the monk's way. In theory, it is indeed stronger than the current martial arts, but how many can reach that level?"
"Furthermore, to practice the ancient way, having spiritual veins is the first prerequisite. The time spent on practicing is much longer than that of a warrior."
"What's more, now that I have optimized rune martial arts to replace the demon essence, this shows that the future of martial arts is not yet over."
"In this case, who can guarantee that in the next ten years or a hundred years... martial arts will not be able to go further and surpass the monks in an all-round way?"
Chen Xingzu opened his mouth and nodded with sincerity: "...Master Hou's words make sense, and I admire him very much."
"Then according to the wishes of the Marquis, I will go to Cong Yun Mansion and try to find a way to obtain the ancient cultivation methods."
By the end, he was already a little eager to try.
In fact, he is also quite curious about the ancient way of cultivation.
He also wanted to try to see if he could learn anything from it.
Zuo Zhongming laughed dumbly and said casually: "How can it be so easy to get the things Ji Changyun worked so hard to get?"
"Since he dares to stand up openly and announce this matter to the world, it means that he is ready to meet the malicious intent."
Chen Xingzu couldn't help but nodded, frowned and said, "Then Mr. Hou, what should we do?"
"It's very simple."
Zuo Chongming snapped his fingers: "Turn back and send an envoy to Cong Yun Mansion to have a good talk with the Liansheng Sect. If we work together, we will both benefit."
"Ah? This, this..."
These words really shocked Chen Xingzu. He never expected that Zuo Chongming planned to do this.
Zuo Chongming glanced at him: "Are you trying to say that since I, Ji Changyun, and the Liansheng Sect have a life-and-death feud, he will definitely not cooperate?"
"Um, that's right."
Chen Xingzu nodded slightly.
Zuo Chongming narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Do you think the current Liansheng Sect is still the same idiot who only knows how to rebel?"
"Since they withdrew to Congyun Mansion, they have begun to push the Litian Sword Sect and Huanyue Sect to the front of the stage, while they themselves stay behind the scenes."
"They seem to be dormant, but in fact they are seeking transformation. Today, the Lotus Sect has fully completed its transformation."
"So, we can no longer look at it from the perspective of Jianghu forces, but we must regard the Liansheng Sect and Ji Changyun as the heroes..."
"You were the commander of the internal guards before. You should know that among the forces, interests outweigh hatred. It is normal for Xiyun Mansion to cooperate with them."
Chen Xingzu understood and sighed: "It's because my subordinates have become too small."
To be honest, what he admired most was not Zuo Chongming's wisdom or his terrifying talent in martial arts, but his understanding of giving and gaining.
In order to achieve his goal, Zuo Chongming was able to sacrifice a price that ordinary people could not do or even dare to think about without blinking an eye.
Chen Xingzu even felt that if Zuo Chongming wanted to give up Xiyun Mansion one day, he would be so understated.
Zuo Chongming thought for a moment and asked: "By the way, how is the Yuhuang side?"
"Would you like to join the list of gods, enjoy incense and worship, and condense your soul? Or should you sacrifice your life and contribute to the development of living things like Hu Yingying and the others?"
When mentioning this matter and thinking of the word "biology", Chen Xingzu could not help but think of a scene of purgatory.
He couldn't help but shudder, and said with a wry smile: "My subordinates thought that she had been frightened, and it would only take a few days for her to give in."
In fact, let alone Yuhuang, even Chen Xingzu was stunned by the cruel and cruel scene when he went to the laboratory for the first time.
He has killed many people.
However, Chen Xingzu had never thought of cruel torture methods like the one in the laboratory in his life.
It was simply the legendary purgatory. No, even the so-called eighteen levels of hell in Buddhism were not as good as the one in the laboratory.
From that moment, Chen Xingzu completely understood.
Why was Zuo Zhongming able to develop Rune Martial Arts, and why he was able to continuously introduce all kinds of beautiful, strange, and charming half-demon (Fu Rui).
It turns out that behind this seemingly glorious and glamorous scene, there is actually such bloodshed.
The success of the research on Rune Martial Arts was not only due to the ideas provided by Zuo Chongming, but also to the research by the experimenters who spent sleepless nights and food.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is inseparable from the inhumane biological experiments that countless imprisoned humans and demons endured day and night, which are worse than death.
Zuo Chongming glanced at his ugly face, smiled indifferently, and said calmly: "I know what you want to say."
"As I said before, you used to be in the officialdom. You should know very well that behind all the glamor, there is unspeakable filth."
"Development and evolution are like sailing against the current. The process must be painful and rugged. I have done my best to put the pain on my enemies."
Chen Xingzu took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "I understand."
"As long as you know."
Zuo Chongming smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and asked: "Where is the Taotie? You can't find anything out for the time being, right?"
Chen Xingzu nodded: "The laboratory said that today's technology is still backward. Even if there is a gluttonous life, there will be no results."
Zuo Chongming was not disappointed, after all, he had been mentally prepared.
After listening, he said casually: "In that case, let's lock it up temporarily and use it as a place to dispose of garbage."
"yes."
Chen Xingzu respectfully clasped his fists and stepped back.

Time flies by like a white mule passing by.
Ever since Xiyun Mansion announced the Rune Martial Arts and Cong Yun Mansion announced the monk inheritance.
Many players who are active all over the world, taking advantage of the chaos of the current situation, seeking reputation and benefits, have begun to move into large-scale affairs.
And this kind of great migration involving the whole world has led to a chain of problems.
Leaders of forces in various places suddenly discovered that there were many traitors, moles, spies, and undercover agents under their command...
Before they could figure out how to deal with it, they discovered a new problem - lack of people!
That’s right, there’s a shortage of people!
The majority of those who are truly active on the battlefield are always players.
Therefore, when the monarchs of various forces started wars before, they never considered that they would not be able to recruit people.
But now, as the relocation situation intensifies, the powerful monarchs have discovered that the loss of talents in their territories is extremely serious.
In other words - we can't fight anymore.
Right now, just the talents running away are enough to break their muscles and bones. If they forcefully launch a war again, their fundamentals will completely collapse.
After careful deliberation, the monarchs of various forces unanimously and tacitly made the same decision, that is, a truce.
This situation involves an even weirder phenomenon - peace!
Logically speaking, after the Wu Dynasty collapsed and the heroes divided themselves, the next few decades or even hundreds of years should be the so-called troubled times...
But I never imagined that the chaos would come to an abrupt end just a few years ago.
What shocked them even more was that a big country like Zheng Guo had successively introduced n policies to comprehensively promote the development of people's livelihood.
As for where their money came from, of course it was the war money from the war some time ago, and the proceeds from killing the local snakes of aristocratic families and ransacking their homes.
Among them, the fastest growing one was headed by Zheng Guo of Nansheng.
Because he has the two swords left by Emperor Wu and does not have a bachelor's pavilion, the Prime Minister sent a bureaucratic family like this to hold him back and divide the power.
Therefore, Nan Sheng can be said to have great power, and absolutely no one dares to oppose the policies he wants to promote.
In addition, with the precedent of Xiyun Mansion, Nan Sheng was still able to follow the example of the gourd, and Zheng Guo's development was naturally the fastest.
In comparison, whether it is the Wu Kingdom in Nanchuan, the Hong Kingdom in Nanyun, or other forces, they are all far behind by more than one level.
After all, their family's troubles have not yet been resolved, and many policies often require a lot of consideration when implemented, and the efficiency is even slower.
The NPCs have settled down and the players have also entered the development stage.
During the previous war, players accumulated a lot of reputation, wealth and other things.
However, due to the sluggish economy in troubled times, coupled with the collapse of Bafeng Tower and military control of supplies in various places, it is difficult for them to have channels for consumption.
At this time, the war was suspended.
Xiyun Mansion launched Rune Martial Arts, and Cong Yun Mansion launched the monk profession.
In addition, there are a large number of beautiful, charming, elegant, aloof... half-demon pets in various poses.
As well as the latest products launched by the Mercenary Guild, including all kinds of weird martial arts techniques, natural materials and earthly treasures, etc.
Players can finally take a breath and start thinking about how to spend more cost-effectively.
