Chapter 230 Ghosts appear and absorb Yang Qi? (Chapter 1)
Beside the river, the air condenses.
Looking at Xiao Zhan who was striding towards him, Lu You was dumbfounded. His limbs trembled as if they were unable to control his movements, and his face turned blue and white.
I wish I could crawl into a hole in the ground.
Xiao Zhan strode over. Wei Zheng first stood with his hands behind his hands. There seemed to be a moment of silence. Then Xiao Zhan lowered his head, knelt on one knee, and said loudly:
"The last general is guilty, please punish me, the general!"
quiet!
Wei Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, neither letting him get up nor taking advantage of the situation to pursue him. Instead, he asked him why he came:
"Brother Xiao is not on patrol, why are you here to look for me?"
Looking at the man in front of him who had suppressed him for half his life, Xiao Zhan's breathing became rapid, but he still spoke:
"Please resign and come."
"Wang Chongyue came here with bad intentions. As a general in the army, you don't want to make progress and defeat the enemy at this stall. You actually want to withdraw from the front line?"
Wei Zhengxian's tone was calm.
Xiao Zhan raised his eyes, expressionless:
"Don't the general know?"
Wei Zhengxian replied calmly: "General, should I know?"
"I was a disciple of Qingfeng, and I was stabbed by others."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Zhan couldn't remain silent anymore and took the initiative to speak, his tone full of coldness:
"We guard the border for our country, fight bloody battles on the front lines, and are not afraid of life and death. How can we allow thieves in the rear to kill our relatives and family members?"
"It is indeed unacceptable. However, the general has his own arrangements for this matter. Brother Xiao can just face the enemy with peace of mind. There will be no shortage of explanations."
Wei Zhengxian's clouds are calm and the wind is gentle.
The two of them were talking, but Lu You felt sweat on his forehead and his breathing was a little rough. He moved slowly, trying to get further away.
Suddenly, his face stiffened.
Xiao Zhan, already under his gaze, stood up slowly, his tone and face became cold and hard:
"General, do you really want to force me?"
"Forcing you?"
Wei Zhengxian slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on his shoulder. Without any force, he pressed it down again and dusted it off. He only heard a muffled sound and the air flow spread, blowing away the grass and trees:
"so what?"
This time, Lu You didn't have to retreat quietly. The air wave surged and he flew several feet away involuntarily. He rolled a few times and almost fell into the cold river water.
There are even hot air waves spreading in all directions.
Kakakka~
Xiao Zhan's eyes were red and his face was red, and his spine and muscles all over his body were rubbing violently. However, that palm, which had no color at all, was as heavy as a mountain.
Not only was he not lifted up at all, but he was pushed down and had a tendency to break his spine and bones.
boom!
There was another loud noise. One knee turned into two knees. The mud and sand surged violently, and the river burst into waves.
"Wei! Zheng! First!"
Xiao Zhan raised his head, his hair falling off his helmet, and he was extremely shocked and angry.
boom!
Lu You raised his head in horror, and saw Xiao Zhan's blood boiling, and his whole body was like fire. The temperature on the bank of the river rose sharply, and the sound was terrifying.
However, despite its vigorous blood, the broad, ivory-colored palm remained motionless, and even when the fire was blazing, it did not change color at all.
"I'm curious, what gave you the courage to challenge a certain family?"
Wei Zheng first put one hand behind his back and lightly pressed his shoulder with the other. His tone was calm and without any edge:
"Is it your rich and powerful family, or is it you, a weak little stove?"
puff!
As his voice fell, Xiao Zhan felt an endless and terrifying momentum coming down, forcing his blood energy, which was less than half of his burst, to flow back.
At first glance, it looks like a flame suddenly caught in a cold current and suddenly frozen.
This was pure power to the extreme, without any trace of blood or inner energy. With just this pressure, he could feel the terror of the number one martial artist in Qingzhou.
In a daze, he felt that the slightly old man in front of him had disappeared, and was replaced by the towering giant mountain, Liuji Mountain, which spanned eighteen thousand miles.
Thick and vast, majestic and vast.
"General..."
Lu You's mind was swaying and his breathing was unsteady.
He has been at the border for several years. In these years, he has only seen the general once, but has never seen him take action.
On the contrary, he had seen Xiao Zhan take action more than once.
The red fire power in his hand has reached its peak. If the spear is pointed at it, one person and one horse can penetrate the great distance in a moment, and the heavenly wolf can ride on it with thousands of horses!
His martial arts skills were as high as those of the great masters he had seen in Longyuandao who had been famous for many years.
However, such a great master was unable to get up due to the pressure of a palm, and could only roar in rage.
Is this the peerless force of the number one man in Qingzhou?
"Four elephants are nothing, four elephants are nothing but...talent, is this the real top talent..."
In the strong water vapor, Xiao Zhan's voice became extremely cold and extremely hot.
"That is……"
Lu You's eyes widened.
The water vapor was instantly wiped away, and visible to the naked eye, an agate-like light emerged from Xiao Zhan's heart and spread to the surroundings at some point.
At this moment, he sensed great danger.
It's like standing in the Wanxiang Tower of Longyuan City and looking down, as if standing in the crater of a volcano overlooking the surging magma.
He almost ran away.
"The Red Fire True Gang is quite interesting."
Wei Zheng first looked at the red light on Xiao Zhan's body and suddenly withdrew his palm:
"That's all, if you want to go back, then go back."
Huhu~
The rolling airflow dispersed the hot water vapor.
Xiao Zhan stood up expressionlessly, turned and left without saying a word, but the huge unwillingness surging in his heart could be seen from his clenched palms.
In fifty years of military service, except for the first three years, he had almost never suffered such humiliation. For a moment, he almost wanted to explode desperately.
He still has a killing move that has never been revealed to others, but what's the point?
With just this push, he knew that he would never be able to overturn this giant mountain in his lifetime.
Fight to the death, fight to the death, and you will only die.
No chance of winning.
"It's so bearable."
Wei Zhengxian stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at Xiao Zhan's leaving figure in the distance, and sighed slightly:
"Pity……"
"What are you regretting, General? Is it a pity that your money bag will not be so useful in the future?"
Suddenly, Lu You, who was still in shock, heard another voice, looked around, and was shocked again:
"Yu Liang?!"
It was a young man just like him, wearing a white scholar's uniform, but compared to his own mediocre appearance, his appearance was much better.
Fair and handsome, with a gentle voice, he is like a humble young master.
The person who came here was once his classmate, but his status was very different. He was the disciple of Wang Muzhi, the "Wanxiang Mountain native".
"Brother Lu is here too?"
Yu Liang looked at Lu You with a smile, but the latter had no face to spare, so he hurriedly saluted, covered his face and left.
"A good young man, he is not bad at heart, but he still has some spirit. With a little hard work, he can be put to good use."
Wei Zhengxian nodded.
"Master Wang once said that Lu You's qualifications are mediocre, but his nature is pure and kind. He is quite like his master, Mr. Xu. In a few years, he will probably be accepted into his sect."
Yu Liang smiled slightly and then said:
"Master, he is a very strong man. If he comes here to send a message, I'm afraid he is really angry."
"In the chaos in Qingzhou, half of them are in Lianshengjiao, and most of them are in the palace. If Mr. Xu takes action, I'm afraid..."
Wei Zhengxian shook his head slightly:
"I really don't care about the money and food provided by the four families. I really don't want his old man to suffer misfortune again."
"The general is really willing to give up the money and food of the four families?"
Yu Liang chuckled.
He has been in the army for many years and has seen much more than Lu You.
The latter only saw the ten major shortcomings in the army and the four major families were causing far-reaching disasters, but he knew the reason why Wei Zhengxian allowed the four major families to win over the generals and win people's hearts over the years.
It is true that there is a problem with the royal court's salary and money, and we cannot do anything about it.
The people of the huge Qingzhou Army are eating horses and chewing them. It is really not a problem that can be solved by force. The helplessness behind this is very understandable.
At least, Lu You couldn't understand it at this time.
"If you don't want to let go, what can you do?"
Wei Zhengxian sighed, unwilling to talk more about this topic, and instead said:
"Xiao Zhan has become a melting pot. His martial arts skills are no small feat. Zhao Jinglong can't stop him. This time, you have to go away too."
"It's troublesome."
Yu Liang sighed helplessly:
"If you just shot such a heavy three-pointer, why do you have to run around and work so hard?"
"After all, we are colleagues."
Wei Zhengxian was slightly silent:
"I still remember that more than thirty years ago, a commander who was very popular with me insisted on trying my hand with me. After one move, he was killed on the stone monument of the martial arts field.
To this day, even if I dream about it at midnight, I still can’t let it go.”
"As a general, you should kill decisively and be kind but not in charge of the army. You know better than me."
Yu Liang shook his head slightly, turned around and left without saying much.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back:
"I wonder, General, how far is it from that step?"
Wei Zhengxian naturally knew what he was asking and did not answer directly:
"I have average talent, you know that."
"Do you think I believe it or not?"
Yu Liang raised his eyebrows, turned around and left. After a few ups and downs, he disappeared into the wilderness.
"No one always believes the truth."
Wei Zheng stopped for a long time before turning back to the barracks:
"I'm really old. I can't bear to kill someone..."
…
…
Tianlang Pass is very lively.
A large number of soldiers patrolled and searched, making the Tianlang Pass, which had been peaceful for a long time, restless.
In the following days, the searches became less frequent, but the entire pass was still closed.
Due to dissatisfaction with its closed level and the encouragement of well-intentioned people, various rumors about the Xiao family were rampant for a while.
"Then Xiao Qingfeng is also the Fourth Young Master of Qingzhou. He was stabbed in his home without even waiting for the family masters to rescue him. Is such martial arts worthy of being named the Fourth Young Master?"
"Think of what a genius Chu Tianyi is? He is Xiao Qingfeng, a young genius who is famous in Long Yuandao and even in the world? Haha..."
"What do you know? The young master of the Xiao family has extremely high martial arts skills. Unfortunately, there seems to be a ghost running rampant in those days. I heard that he was absorbed by the yang energy and then disappeared."
"Xiao Qingfeng really died at the hands of a ghost! Don't you believe it? Oh, haven't you heard that these days, the soldiers who were searching, and even the masters of the Xiao family were suddenly infected with the cold?"
"Hiss! You mean?"
"That's right! Do you know why the intensity of searches has been reduced in the past few days? It's because they have angered the ghosts. Many people have been sucked in Yang energy and are lying in bed and drinking medicine!"
"Good guy! I asked you why the medicinal materials are so expensive these days. That's it!"
…
As the Iron Blood Building with the deepest background in Tianlang Pass, even when the search is the most rigorous, the door is always open and it is full.
It plays an important role in the spread of various rumors.
"Ghost, Yang Qi?"
The warm wine flowed down the throat, but there was no taste. The living dead in black robes took off his cloak and had a rosy complexion.
After hearing these words, Yang Yu felt dumbfounded and felt a little strange.
Doesn’t what I have been doing these days look like the evil spirits and ghosts in legends?
It's just that what he absorbed was not Yang Qi, but their destiny entries related to blood. At this point, it seems that the effect is almost the same?
This can't help but make him think, are those evil spirits, ghosts, and suckers in the legend really the so-called 'yang energy'?
After several days of hard work, the blood flow has resumed again. At this time, the living dead's face is rosy and his body is warm. However, his injuries have not improved much.
Fortunately, it does not affect performance.
Moreover, with the blood temperature and warmth restored, the life-burning pill he left before can now be put to use.
As he drank alone, Yang Yu looked out the window at the blue sky, his eyes dim.
