Su Zhongwen looked at Liu Ziyu who was overjoyed, nodded, but sighed in his heart.
Whether in Yunqin, Tangzang or Damang, behind any hero there are always many visible or invisible counselors and retainers.[]
Su Zhongwen is undoubtedly a very outstanding figure among these people, otherwise Liu Ziyu's father would not have been promoted to provincial governor so quickly, and he would not have been sent to teach Liu Ziyu alone.
However, Su Zhongwen is very clear that there are too many heroes in this world, and there are too many people like him, so no one will know the outcome of any plan until the final decision.
So this is really not cause for joy.
For him, Liu Ziyu is still too naive and has too much to learn.
…
Lin Fu and the pretty woman sat by the lake, watching Lin Xi and Lin Qian rowing in the middle of the lake.
Listening to Lin Qian's excited shouts from time to time, the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other.
The two of them didn't sleep much yesterday, but Qin Xiaoyu showed up, blinded the fat merchant's eyes, and left him with no soul power. Lin Xi came to their room and softly told them that they were fine.
So the two of them are very relieved now.
After playing around with her sister for a while, having a simple lunch with her parents in the bamboo fenced courtyard by the lake, and coaxing her sister to take a nap, Lin Xi climbed over a hill with two large food boxes.
, walked into a forest.
There is a small pond in this hilly forest.
Mr. Zhang is fishing with a small homemade bamboo fishing rod.
Jiang Xiaoyi is digging a hole under some trees.
There are many cicada pupae in the mud under these trees, which are very crispy and nutritious when roasted.
There was a small fire burning in the clearing in the forest on one side.
Next to the fire lay the fat merchant, with more than a dozen stones on his chest, and his face turned purple.
Seeing Lin Xi walking in, Mr. Zhang and Jiang Xiaoyi nodded and smiled, stopped what they were doing, and sat down not far from the fire.
After eating all the food in the food box, Jiang Xiaoyi threaded the sixty-seven cicada pupae that had been dug up with thin branches and roasted them on the fire, and then removed the dozen or so pieces that were pressed on the fat merchant's chest.
The stone was swept aside.
The fat merchant opened his mouth and breathed desperately like a fish out of water, making a heavy sound in his throat.
Lin Xi, Jiang Xiaoyi, and Mr. Zhang didn't say anything but just smiled. When the fat merchant finally took a breath, Jiang Xiaoyi got up to move the stone again, preparing to press on the fat merchant again.
"Do you have any humanity at all? Don't even ask me, what do you want to do?"
The fat merchant finally collapsed, and the signature smile on his face had long since disappeared. Everything turned into crying. He beat his hands on the ground feebly and howled.
It was early summer, and the weather itself was already a bit sultry, but he was placed not far from the fire, with a big stone pressed against his chest.
When he felt that he was about to die, the other party removed the boulder to let him breathe some more, then placed the boulder on him again, and the process started again.
Although his eyes were blind, he could still easily tell from the surrounding sounds and the aroma of roasting cicada pupae that Jiang Xiaoyi was doing something boring before.
This was not the time when he needed to survive in the wild. A cultivator dug up cicada pupae and roasted them to eat. Of course, it was an extremely boring thing... but the other party would rather do such a boring thing than ask him anything.
"Would you like to eat a roasted cicada pupa? It tastes very good."
What made him collapse even more was that Lin Xi chuckled again and said something that made him collapse even more.
"I will eat your ancestors!" The fat merchant went crazy. He beat the ground and cursed loudly. But before he could curse out, his chest felt tight and another stone was pressed against him.
"What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything I know!"
The fat merchant's body froze, and he finally shouted this sentence hysterically.
Jiang Xiaoyi and Lin Xi looked at each other and smiled. Jiang Xiaoyi put down the stone in his hand, but did not move away the first stone that was pressing on the fat merchant's chest.
Qingluan College is Yunqin's holy land of cultivation, and after the changes of Dean Zhang, compared to the other two colleges that purely pursue personal combat power, Qingluan College also covers many aspects besides combat power. Among them, Zhige Department and Internal
Each department has professors who specialize in studying opponent psychology, and some lecturers have also imparted a lot of experience in this area to them during their daily classes.
Among them, the simplest one about coercing a confession is that if the opponent has the ability to commit suicide, but does not commit suicide immediately when he is captured, no matter how tough the subsequent performance is, the fact is that there is always a chance of being greedy for life and fear of death, and he will always be afraid of death.
A confession can be forced out.
"The key is not what we want to know, but what you can tell us of value."
Lin Xi looked at the fat businessman whose will had collapsed. He was not in a hurry and said slowly: "You were thrown into the lake yesterday. Before you went blind, you knew what kind of person you were messing with. If you can't tell
What is valuable to me is of no use to me. Then I can only make you suffer like Mr. Zhang, who cannot breathe freely for several years."
Lin Xi was naturally not from the Yuhua family, but after what happened last night, the fat merchant had already determined that Lin Xi was from the Yuhua family. When he heard this sentence again, the fat merchant was sweating all over from being burned.
, and another layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.
"I know Xu Ningshen, he will not let you go! If you keep me as a witness, it will be enough to help you bring down Xu Ningshen! And... I can hand over my cultivation method..." He said violently with a big stone pressed on his chest.
Panting, he finally shouted again.
Probably thinking of the identity of the other party's "Yuhua Family", thinking of his miserable defeat, and fearing that the other party would ridicule and disdain the "method of practice" he said, the fat merchant immediately used all his strength to shout
: "I know the Demon Body Art of Damang Thousand Demon Cave!"
Mr. Zhang didn't realize what was going on, but Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi were both stunned.
Mr. Zhang only understood some soul power cultivation methods through some books, and with the perseverance of practicing for many years, he entered the ranks of practitioners, so he did not know about some powerful cultivation places in this world.
Although Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi didn't know much about it, they had heard of the Thousand Demon Cave.
Students who graduated from the three major colleges in Yunqin were fighting against Da Mang in the Falling Star Lake and Qianxia Mountain area. Their main opponents were the practitioners from Purgatory Mountain and Thousand Demon Cave.
Purgatory Mountain is located in Da Mang. It is the same sacred place of cultivation as Qingluan Academy, and it is almost completely isolated from the court. It is even more mysterious to the imperial city of Zhongzhou than Qingluan Academy.
Some of the disciples who came out voluntarily entered the Da Mang court, but the vast majority freely practiced in the Qianxia Mountain area, hunting the strong men and practitioners among the Yunqin border troops.
The practitioners who came out of Purgatory Mountain are not only mysterious, but their practice methods are also very different from those of Yunqin practitioners. Moreover, the inner mountain disciples who have truly inherited the inheritance of Purgatory Mountain will use some strange suicidal tricks before their defeat. "Demon Transformation"
It is the most powerful one among them.
The true practitioners of Purgatory Mountain regard death as reincarnation, with venom flowing in their bodies, so there will be absolutely no survivors or survivors for the losers.
As for the practitioners of Thousand Demons Cave, although they are not as mysterious and strange as the practitioners of Purgatory Mountain, their practice methods are very close to those of Yunqin practitioners, but before going into battle, they will have poison hidden in their teeth and bodies. Once they are defeated, they will immediately
suicide.
Therefore, after all these years, Yun Qin still knows very little about the practitioners in Purgatory Mountain and Thousand Demons Cave. He only knows some martial arts and fighting methods.
Practitioners on the Tang and Tibetan side also knew very little about it because they were separated by the desert and the fifteen tribes of Western Yi tribes.
As for the practitioners of Yunqin, the three major academies all follow the bright road, relying on pure strength, the assistance of the army, and powerful soul soldiers and armor.
Therefore, for the people of Da Mang and Tang Zang, what is most useful and what they want to know the most is the academy's research on runes and elixirs.
It is precisely because both parties do not understand each other and want to get something from the other party that some hidden people who have sneaked into the other party's court and practice place have become popular in recent years.
Those who can become hidden are not ordinary people. Many of them have taken on important responsibilities since they were children and have already had identities in other countries. Therefore, they are inevitable in the courts of Yunqin, Tangzang and Damang in recent years.
There is a hidden existence of the other side, but because of the strength of the cultivation place, there are more peerless talents, and the most important thing is that Yun Qin, Tang Zang and Da Mang have only been officially entangled for twenty or thirty years, and there is still time.
Short, so even if there are many amazing talents hidden in these cultivation places, they will be discovered and end in tragedy.
Some of the common cultivation methods and skills of Qingluan Academy are exchanged for accumulated credits. Some unique cultivation methods are inherited by special lecturers of the academy who select their successors for this reason.
Because of the unique lecturers and extraordinary professors of Qingluan College, just like Tong Wei selected Lin Xi and Bian Linghan, and Luo Houyuan selected Ai Qilan, just because of the character of the people selected by these lecturers and professors can already guarantee
Even if these people die, they will not reveal the secrets of the academy.
Even if something goes wrong due to some accidents, Qingluan Academy has always had its own way of doing things... What is lost, the academy will definitely find back.
Precisely because they knew that Thousand Demons Cave was a powerful place of cultivation in the world, but now the fat merchant knew something unknown to the academy, Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi naturally couldn't calm down.
After looking at each other with Jiang Xiaoyi, Lin Xi didn't say anything, but leaned down with a serious expression and swept away the rocks that were pressing on the fat merchant.
…
…
Just when Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi heard the words Thousand Demons Cave from the fat merchant, Xu Ningshen, the commander of the Three Town Battalion in casual clothes, walked into a bamboo forest.
In the bamboo forest, there was an invisible man wearing a bamboo hat waiting for him.
