It was early in the morning when Zhao Qing and his party returned to the city.
Along the way, she learned some information about Peng Yu from Peng Li, including some martial arts issues; at the same time, she dispelled the negative influence of the fire bronze armor on Zheng Dan and awakened Duanmu Shuliang, who had previously been in a coma. According to her guess, Peng Yu deliberately spared Duanmu Shuliang's life, perhaps hoping to leave some false clues to mislead those who would later investigate.
At the same time, Peng Li also introduced to Zhao Qing the art of transformation that she was more concerned about, and the Qi-refining method he practiced.
The art of metamorphosis comes from an incomplete skill written by Yue Wang Yunchang in the past from a ruins of the Yu Dynasty.
After he came out, he immediately summoned all the reliable masters in the country to discuss Taoism and practice scriptures in the capital of the country at that time for a hundred days, and finally completed it and created it.
This method is divided into eight layers, and the effect is astonishing. It can improve the qualifications of the practitioner layer by layer, and evolve the "mortal body" of ordinary people into various special physiques according to their bloodline origins. Not only does the combat power in the same realm increase a lot
, and also increased the speed of his practice.
Theoretically speaking, as long as a sufficient amount of high-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures are consumed, the body can even transform into the legendary "gods and demons virtual body", towering over Kong Qiu, the world's most powerful physique.
There is no way to add to it.
But at the same time, starting from the fourth level, the transformation of the body needs to pass the test of God, and it will become a narrow escape from death, or even ten deaths without life.
It is said that during the Yunchang period, many top geniuses who were born with physiques comparable to the third and fourth levels fell sadly because of this, and they also wasted the heavenly materials and earthly treasures they used in the process.
Of course, there are some successful examples. Rumor has it that General Linggufu, who wounded King Helu of Wu in a battle in the past, cultivated it to the fifth or sixth level.
After attaining great aura, he defeated countless masters of the Wu army at that time.
Moreover, theoretically speaking, for practitioners with ordinary initial physiques but amazing understanding, the Mortal Transformation Technique is a complete positive improvement before the fourth level.
Therefore, it is quite puzzling that Yun Chang issued an edict to completely ban it before his death.
After the ban was issued, many families still wanted to secretly practice in violation of the ban, and they were immediately suppressed by the Yue Kingdom's secret guard "Duanyuying".
Peng Li guessed that in addition to the fear of leaking to other countries, perhaps the fear of a clan monopolizing martial arts promotions, and the suspicion that the transformation of mortals can use the essence of other people's flesh and blood to replace heavenly materials and earthly treasures are also important factors.
After learning the information about the Mortal Transformation Technique, Zhao Qing also felt a little regretful. If he could understand the content of this technique, even if he didn't practice it, it should be able to give him some inspiration.
As for the Qigong practice "Jinghuoyang Gong" that Peng Li practiced, it was a bit useless to her.
Because, this is actually an alchemy skill that is mainly improved by taking the refining elixir. It is divided into five realms: preserving elixirs, nourishing the fetus, reborn, deifying, and integrating the true essence. Each realm must take the corresponding elixir to be able to
Breakthrough.
Even his initial entry was achieved by relying on a pill that the ancients placed beside the secret book hundreds of years ago.
However, judging from the zhenqi that Peng Li now cultivates through this skill, he has probably broken through to the realm of "deification", which is equivalent to the stage of divine power, and will generate zhenqi at the ultimate Yang Wuji level, which is called "solar true".
"Fire", its previous weakness in combat power has also changed, and it can use some corresponding spells...
Thinking secretly in his heart, Zhao Qing quickly rushed to the original hotel in the east of the city, preparing to take Yuan Gong and Rui Xi out.
……
To the east of Chungquanyi City, Duanmu's hotel, the street outside was filled with the whirring sound of weapons being waved, like a strong wind, startling the passers-by to flee ten feet away.
Cang Banying leaned against the outer wall of a house on the street, breathing heavily. It was not due to fatigue, but because he was greatly frightened, and his heartbeat was too fast to be controlled.
He never expected that, following Lao Mazi's secret code, he had just climbed into the yard to look for clues about the special bamboo slips, but he was instantly lifted seven or eight feet away and fell to the street outside. His muscles and bones were in great pain.
Immediately, he saw a white shadow approaching,
Lift yourself up.
Cang Banying was shocked to find that the opponent was not the master of energy transformation he had imagined, but a grown-up white ape, holding a simple scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.
Bai Yuan looked at him thoughtfully for a few times, then stretched out his finger to write on the wall. The handwriting was quite clear, but he couldn't recognize it for a while.
Cang Banying is the only son of Cang Fushi, the master of Fengyan Cave Village in Panyu Ridge and the top master of Gang Jin. However, he is not good at writing or martial arts. The last time he could read was a few months ago.
These days, even monsters are studying hard. Are they more knowledgeable than me?
Cang Banying felt a sense of shame inexplicably in his heart. Immediately afterwards, two strong men swooped in and attacked the white ape with their weapons. It was Xu Shiyi, the fourth and fifth best player in the village.
Wang Jiujiu.
The two men and the ape immediately started fighting. The white ape did not put down the bamboo slip, but used only one arm to fight to a tie with Xu Shiyi, Wang Jiujiu's short knife, and a long beryllium pole.
Xu Shiyi was originally a chef in a large wine shop, and was famous for his delicious food. Later, he gave up cooking and studied martial arts, and developed an extremely rare sword technique. He is also a top expert in Huajin;
Wang Jiujiu is Kurafushiya's direct disciple. He adapted the halberd technique taught by his master and created a sinister and strange beryllium technique, which fully utilized the characteristics of the weapon. If not for his slight lack of skill, he would still be ranked high.
It should be above Promise 11.
After the two of them joined forces, they were almost as good as a real Gangjin master. In the end, they couldn't even get a hair on the white ape's body. Instead, they were beaten by it with bamboo slips in a short period of time.
Two notes.
The bamboo slip in White Ape's hand couldn't be the same scroll in the intelligence, right? If it was damaged by it, how would you explain it to the superiors?
Cang Banying suddenly thought of it, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and used the Tianzhu sect's secret martial arts "Sealing Spirit and Feathering Technique" passed down from his family. He took out a handful of poison-quenching copper needles, trying to find the right opportunity to do it.
Sneak attack.
Just when he was about to throw the copper needle, the bamboo slip suddenly appeared above his wrist, slapping it hard and knocking it to the ground. He was so frightened that he was afraid that the copper needle would scratch his skin and cause him to be poisoned to death. "The damn Tianzhu Sect, they refused to give out any property, just thinking about the forces that drove us to seal the Flame Cave, so that I suffered such misfortune..." Cang Banying cursed in a low voice.
He rested by the wall for a while, and finally regained his composure. Suddenly, he found two beautiful girls, like ghosts, appearing directly on the edge of the battlefield, but there was no memory of how they came here... p>
"The ape has met an enemy? Qing, it shouldn't be in danger, right?" The weak-looking girl among them spoke, making a voice that was like the sounds of nature, which made people indulge in it.
Cang Banying shook his head. With the blessing of the "Ling Feather Transformation Technique", he overcame the opponent's influence, took out the dagger from his waist, and pounced towards the two people a few feet away.
"You two know this monster ape? I'm sorry..." Thinking about the scene where he successfully interfered with the white ape after catching the two people, and finally successfully obtained the bamboo slips, Cang Banying couldn't help but show excitement on his face.
In Cang Banying's view, Zheng Dan looks quite weak and is nothing to worry about. As long as he restrains Zhao Qing next to him with one move, he can scare her together and threaten the ape demon.
Even if they know the ape demon and have something special about it, after all, they are only fifteen or sixteen years old, how high can their martial arts be? How many masters can there be in a small Chungquan town?
I have been taking medicine and food for more than 20 years, and I have practiced the esoteric martial arts of the great sect of the Yue Kingdom. Even if I don’t put much effort into practicing, it is definitely not something that a warrior below Yang Jin can resist.
Even though he looked down upon it, once he made a move, Cang Banying still went all out.
The dagger was raised, and the Fengling Feather Transformation Technique suddenly erupted. It silently pushed away the airflow around him, and passed through a sharp cold light, heading towards the bronze long sword on Zhao Qing's waist. He wanted to take the weapon first.
Attack him again.
But just as he was halfway through the move, Zhao Qing glanced at him coldly. An inexplicable mysterious force enveloped him and grabbed him, giving him a terrifying feeling that was beyond human power.
The expression on Cang Banying's face suddenly froze, his heart beat violently uncontrollably, and the hair on his body exploded.
Could this be the legendary eyes as swords?!
The next moment, Cang Banying felt that several large acupoints on his body were suddenly numb. An irresistible force pressed down from the air above, making him fall to the ground in an instant. His knees, elbows, and forehead suddenly hit the ground.
The pain on the hard stone floor made him howl loudly.
"It's the person sent by the copycat last time." Zhao Qing glanced at him casually and said to Zheng Dan.
She could see that the big man holding the kitchen knife in the fight with Yuan Zheng had basically the same strength as Xu Shiliu she met last time.
"Panyuling Fengyan Cave? The one whose leader is said to have half-step divine power?" Zheng Dan thought for a moment and recalled the scene that day.
"Not bad." Zhao Qing thought slightly, and Cang Banying, who was pressed on the ground, seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, lifted up, and suspended several feet in the air. "You three bandits, the purpose of coming here is
What? Tell me honestly!"
The state of her Mingyu aura at this time has reached the point where she can move her aura at will, and it can change without any direction, and she can do all kinds of things that are unbelievable to ordinary people.
"I..." Cang Banying rolled his eyes. Just as he was about to make up an explanation, he heard two sounds of "papa". Two figures withstood the two attacks of Monkey King and flew from behind.
Come, it’s Xu Shiyi and Wang Jiujiu, two masters at the peak of their strength.
"Put down the young village master!" Xu Shiyi ignored the three bloody marks on his left arm caused by the bamboo slips, took two steps, and suddenly leaped out. With a burst of strength, the bronze kitchen knife in his hand instantly tore through the airflow along the way and headed towards Zhao Qing.
Chop off the top of the head…
Almost without thinking, Wang Jiujiu suddenly froze. At the cost of having the beryllium rod broken by the monkey, he grabbed the part with the beryllium sword and unleashed a surging force as powerful as thunder and lightning.
In an instant, he swept across seven or eight feet, pierced towards Zheng Dan's heart, surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, and showed no mercy.
With their lifelong skills and the power of a combined attack, even masters who are new to Gang Jin cannot easily deal with it head-on. They have to avoid its edge first.
Both of them could see that Zhao Qing's martial arts ability of lifting people up in the air was really amazing, so they just wanted to force Zhao Qing to take two steps back and spread the aura that trapped Cang Banying to resist.
Rescue it.
"It's not worth a cent." Zhao Qing pulled out Bian Zhu's sword and swung the sword twice at will, seemingly slowly but actually very quickly.
But seeing the blue-white sword energy disappear in a flash, Xu Shiyi and Wang Jiujiu had a tiny blood spot between their eyebrows, and it fell straight to the ground in mid-air, stirring up dust on the ground.
Unless you have mastered the strong aura to protect your body, or your moves like Monkey King are close to her level, no matter how powerful you are at transforming your strength, it can only be done with a single sword.
The ape man jumped to the bodies of the two people, stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and shouted excitedly, then picked up the beryllium sword on the ground and started writing.
Just last night, one of the remaining caravan members took advantage of the absence of the experts to look for bamboo slips, and was caught on the spot by it. After interrogation, it got the news that a bandit had bribed this person.
People.
It used its tricks to trick the bandits who wanted to snatch its bamboo slips.
However, since it has never had the experience of killing someone, it kept a few hands in the fight. Even after discovering that the enemy's strength was average, it didn't even use the bamboo stick and just wanted to play slowly.
In its view, it is a good thing that Zhao Qing's kung fu has suddenly improved by an unknown amount. Next, he can also learn from her to break through the bottleneck that has trapped him for a lot of time.
"Go on! Apart from trying to rob the bamboo slips, do you have any other information to share?" Zhao Qing sheathed his sword, read the message conveyed by the Monkey King for a while, then pressed Cang Banying down again and placed it on the table.
Between the two corpses.
On the way back to the hotel, she kept using the Nether God Stone to shield others and experimented with suitable ways to input spiritual power.
When he discovered that the ape man was fighting with others, Zhao Qing watched for a while before unblocking him.
With her eyesight, she naturally discovered Cang Banying's special attitude towards the bamboo slips early, and guessed that this was the goal of their group.
As she expected, this volume "
"Lianshan Yi" is indeed the clue that the bandits identified as King Mu's legacy.
Relying on the two bodies that were getting colder next to him, Cang Banying was so frightened that he stumblingly confessed the information he knew and only begged for his life.
At Zhao Qing's current state, he has already been able to detect slight fluctuations in other people's breath and blood flow rate, as well as subtle mental fluctuations in others, from a distance of several feet, to determine whether he is lying.
Below the seventh consciousness or Gang Jin, there is absolutely no situation where it is not effective.
No matter how good the other party's ability to disguise is, unless you completely control your subconscious, otherwise, as long as you can't hide it from your heart, subtle fluctuations will occur involuntarily, so you can't hide it from her...
Is there a Tianzhu sect standing behind the bandits? Zhao Qing nodded slightly in his heart. Sure enough, quite a few of these big sects in the mountains have used black gloves to make money and do dirty things.
After communicating with Rui Xi who was resting in the hotel, he adapted what happened last night into a less dangerous version and chatted with her. Zhao Qing waited until Peng Li and Duanmu Shuliang had finished handling Peng Zhi's matter. Because Peng Zhi was possessed by Peng Yu and died unexpectedly, the position of the governor of the city was vacant, and Yu Wei was temporarily responsible for maintaining order.
Soon, the bodies of Cang Banying and the other three were disposed of by the soldiers in the city.
After Peng Li briefly dealt with Peng Zhi's affairs, he explained the situation to Zhao Qing and planned to return to the family to hold a secret funeral for the five elders of the Peng family to prevent civil strife. The pills she needed will be given to her in a month.
They were sent to Kuaiji City.
As for Duanmu Shuliang, after all the fleet was destroyed, although only some of the slaves he bought in advance died, the losses were also considerable, and it would take some time to count them.
After discussing for a while, everyone decided to first walk for more than a hundred miles on land, then arrive at the shore of Ruoxie River and take a boat to go north.
The speed of the ship is naturally not as fast as the original horse-drawn cart of the Duanmu clan, but it is much faster than the ox-drawn cart that Zhao Qing originally rode.
……
Although Ruoxie River is called a stream, in fact, it is a wide river, also known as "Ruoxie River". The river is two to three miles wide, and the total length is more than 10,000 miles.
The place where the group boarded the ship was about three thousand miles away from Kuaiji City. Normally, it would take about sixteen or seventeen days to arrive.
But I saw the white clouds rising slowly in the sky, the green peaks on both sides of the bank are clustered, the green trees are deep; the hazy light and shadows of flowers surround the shade of the mountain, and the flowers turn into a blue sky.
The big boat is released down the river, and the flat mountains and distant forests are dotted to the left and right. In the tranquility, only the sparkling river water flows.
Along the river, you will see fishing boats fishing in the river from time to time; the river is meandering, and every time you turn a corner, a different picture will appear in front of you, making people never have the same dull feeling.
On the river bank in the distance, small villages are dotted with criss-crossing streets, surrounded by green mountains. Looking closely, you can see pink and red camellias blooming on the hillside.
In the past, Ou Yezi made five swords for King Yue Chang in the upper reaches of Ruoxie River, namely Zhanlu, Juque, Shengxie, Yuchang, and Chunjun.
It is said that these five divine weapons handed down from ancient times left five indelible sword intentions in the Ruoye River that was temporarily dried up due to sword making. They penetrated into the deepest part of the river and affected the entire river that is thousands of miles long.
Dajiang.
Fish and shrimp are born in the river and grow in the river, so they have a subtle sword meaning.
Among them, some of the older fish are sold at a higher price than elsewhere because there are always people hoping to use them to understand and improve their sword spirit.
On this day, Zhao Qing was sitting on the bow of the boat and saw two towering peaks in front of him, forming a steep canyon.
On the left side of the twin peaks, there are more than a dozen smaller flattened hills, on which a city is built; on the side of the city facing the water, there is a large ferry with many berthing boats.
"Those big fish with sword intentions will migrate back to the upper reaches of the Ruoye River every five years. And in this steep and rapid canyon section, they are easiest to catch."
Duanmu Shuliang looked at the Wushe Gorge in the distance and introduced to Zhao Qing: "Count the dates. The migration time of one of the fish schools should have arrived."
