Kyoto, Great Wei.
The Palace of the King of Peace and Chaos.
As Chen Xinghe’s voice rang out.
Zhao Yuan froze a little.
As a First Grade Martial Artist, he hadn’t been yelled at in decades.
Right now, he hadn’t really expected that a scholar would dare to be so mean to himself?
Before the inexplicable, Zhao Yuan felt somewhat amused, but he had no evil intentions.
“Where is Xu Qingnian?”
Zhao Yuan looked towards Chen Xinghe, his tone was calm, but he pressed forward slightly, and in an instant a terrifying might struck him.
This was the First Grade Heavenly Might.
In an instant.
Chen Xinghe was frozen.
The terrifying Heavenly Might pressed in, causing Chen Xinghe to freeze in place on the spot.
Who would have thought that a seemingly ordinary old man would be so terrifying?
However, Zhao Yuan had not truly unleashed his First Grade Heavenly Might, otherwise, with Chen Xinghe’s body, he would only have to die here on the spot.
This was just a warning, and to avoid wasting time and nagging Chen Xinghe about anything.
“Do you still need to ask me who I am?”
Zhao Yuan opened his mouth as he gathered his mighty pressure and looked at Chen Xinghe calmly.
“Senior is joking.”
“My junior has eyes that are not aware of Mount Tai, dare I ask what senior wants?”
Chen Xinghe opened his mouth, forcing out a smile as he looked at Zhao Yuan and asked this.
“Where is Xu Qingnian?”
Zhao Yuan asked as he opened the door.
“Dare I ask if senior is?”
Chen Xinghe did not answer directly, but asked who the other party was.
Although he knew that the other party was very strong, but after all, it was about his senior brother, Chen Xinghe still had to ask.
“You don’t need to care who the old man is, don’t worry, the old man won’t harm Xu Qingnian, Xu Qingnian is my senior nephew.”
Zhao Yuan spoke, but a hint of good feeling towards Chen Xinghe grew in his heart.
And hearing Zhao Yuan reply like this, Chen Xinghe sighed in relief.
Then he slowly spoke.
“Back to senior, senior brother has gone out.”
“Senior doesn’t know where he has gone.”
Chen Xinghe immediately replied, but it was true that he did not know where Xu Qingnian had gone.
“Went out?”
Zhao Yuan frowned slightly.
To be honest, it was not a big deal for him to come over this time, he just wanted to see Xu Qingnian and meet him.
After all, Xu Qingnian was at least considered his own senior nephew, so it was normal to take a look, but of course, it was mainly because, Xu Qingnian was actually a third-grade martial artist.
This appealed to him.
At first he didn’t think anything of Xu Qingnian, he only thought that Xu Qingnian was a scholar and that Wu Ming had just lived too long and had nothing better to do.
But when he learnt that Xu Qingnian was a third-ranked martial artist, he had to pay attention.
He just didn’t expect Xu Qingnian to be away from home, so this was a wasted trip.
“Alright, since that’s the case, don’t tell anyone that old man came here.”
Zhao Yuan spoke, since Xu Qingnian was not at home, then forget it, except that he did not want others to know that he had come over, especially not Wu Ming.
And after he finished saying this, he was ready to leave.
But just a moment later, Chen Xinghe’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Senior, wait.”
Looking at Zhao Yuan, Chen Xinghe was a little excited and also looked a little nervous.
“What’s wrong?”
Looking at Chen Xinghe, Zhao Yuan was somewhat curious.
“Dare I ask senior, can you take me as your disciple?”
Chen Xinghe spoke as he gathered his courage and looked a little nervous.
Yes, Chen Xinghe wanted to worship his master.
It was obvious that his senior brother’s senior was obviously not an idle person, and hadn’t he always thought of helping his senior brother?
Reading a book would not help his senior brother, right now Chen Xinghe wanted to take the martial path and help his senior brother.
When this was said, Zhao Yuan frowned slightly.
He looked towards Chen Xinghe, followed by a calm expression and said.
“Worship the old man as your master? You are quite thoughtful.”
Zhao Yuan spoke, not to mock Chen Xinghe, he just thought that Chen Xinghe had quite a good idea.
“Please forgive me, senior, this is indeed a bit abrupt.”
Chen Xinghe was also a little embarra*sed and could only reply with his head bowed.
“There is nothing abrupt about it.”
“It’s just that you are obviously a scholar, why do you want to learn martial arts?”
Zhao Yuan inquired.
“Senior, I have been studying the sage’s books for decades, and now that the Palace of Literature is in such a state, I know that studying cannot save the world’s lives, so I would like to learn martial arts and make a contribution to the people.”
Chen Xinghe was telling the truth.
When he said this, Zhao Yuan nodded his head and approved of Chen Xinghe’s words.
“If only the world’s scholars were as aware as you are.”
Zhao Yuan spoke, but he continued.
“Only, the Martial Dao lineage is by no means as simple as you think, not to mention the amount of hardships involved.”
“More to the point, the martial dao may seem like everyone can learn it, but it’s more about physique, and with a bad physique, it’s hard to achieve greatness in the martial dao.”
“It’s good that you have this heart, it proves that you’re not a nerd, it’s just that you’re not suited to the martial arts.”
Zhao Yuan spoke out, he had some good feelings towards Chen Xinghe, except that he was a First Rank of Great Wei, so how could he just take on a disciple at will?
Even if the other party was Xu Qingnian’s senior brother, so what?
He did not need to give face to anyone, and this was also because he saw that Chen Xinghe had some awareness, otherwise, he would not have wasted so much words at all.
It was just that Zhao Yuan’s words had made it a little difficult for Chen Xinghe.
After thinking about it, Chen Xinghe could not help but speak.
“Why must senior think that I, Chen, can’t do it?”
Chen Xinghe spoke, but not in that unconvincing tone, but in question.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan did not go to argue with Chen Xinghe, but extended his hand and put it directly on Chen Xinghe’s shoulder.
He could tell at a glance that Chen Xinghe was not suitable for martial arts training.
Just by looking through his gaze, he thought that Chen Xinghe was not convinced either, so he used the most direct way to test it.
In an instant, the power of the First Grade Martial Dao entered Chen Xinghe’s body.
It was just an instant.
Zhao Yuan’s calm gaze instantly flashed with shock.
Soon, his eyes gradually became serious.
It was about half a quarter of an hour.
Finally Zhao Yuan withdrew his hand and looked at Chen Xinghe with an incomparably serious expression.
“Kid, I’m asking you, you haven’t entered the Confucian Dao yet, right?”
Zhao Yuan opened his mouth and asked.
Hearing these words, Chen Xinghe nodded his head.
“I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it, this kind of physique really exists in the world.”
Zhao Yuan spoke, with some excitement and disbelief in his tone.
But as soon as these words were said, Chen Xinghe became somewhat agitated.
“Senior, what kind of physique? Do you mean that I am suitable for the Martial Dao? The strongest physique in the Martial Dao?”
Chen Xinghe was quite excited and said.
“No.”
“Your physique is not the strongest physique in the martial dao, to be more precise, your physique is the most odd and the worst physique in the world.”
“It’s called the Seven Veins Absolute Physique, the meaning of which is that there are six systems in the world, relying on you to cultivate on your own, no matter which system it is, you will not be able to enter the rank.”
Zhao Yuan looked exceptionally excited as he said.
He didn’t expect that he had actually encountered a legendary physique.
But Zhao Yuan was excited, Chen Xinghe was a little depressed.
“Senior, it’s all seven vein extinct bodies, why are you so excited? There are also six systems, why is it called seven vein extinct body ah? Shouldn’t it be six vein extinct bodies?”
Chen Xinghe had never thought to his death that he was a Six Vein Extinct Body?
He couldn’t even enter the six systems?
“Seven-vein extinct body means that you can’t even cultivate a foreign art.”
“This physique of yours has a great deal to offer, you will never be able to enter the grade by relying on normal cultivation, but with the help of external forces, you will not have any side effects to enhance.”
“Forget it, you won’t understand even if I tell you, kid, are you willing to worship the old man as your teacher?”
Zhao Yuan didn’t make it too clear.
This Seven Veins Absolute Body seemed to be a wasted body, unable to cultivate any of the six systems, and unable to even enter the grade by cultivating a foreign art.
However, there was a heavenly benefit to this Seven Veins Extinct Body, and that was that the Seven Veins Extinct Body could be enhanced with the help of external forces.
This physique cannot be cultivated on its own, but it can be enhanced with the help of external forces.
What are external forces? The power of heaven and earth, the power of pills, and even the power of pa*sing kung fu are all considered external powers, except that pa*sing kung fu is too costly.
If a first-ranked person transmitted kung fu to Chen Xinghe, then Chen Xinghe could step into the second rank in one day.
It sounds exaggerated, but in fact it is not very useful, after all, a first grade for a second grade, bad brain?
The Da Da enlightenment is the worst way to pa*s on, going forward there are pills, and the power of heaven and earth.
Especially the power of heaven and earth, with the power of heaven and earth to improve, not only is it fast, but it’s also strong.
“First grade.”
“First rank.”
“Within five years, Great Wei will have another First Grade, and when the First Grade Realm Breaking Pill has coalesced, Great Wei will have two First Grades.”
“By then, the old man will be able to truly enjoy a good life for a few years.”
Zhao Yuan was really excited.
At first, he did think that Chen Xinghe was a waste, but he didn’t expect that he was really a waste, only that this waste was a little different in places.
The waste was special.
This kind of physique, if it was detected by others, had no effect, but if it was discovered by him, it was different.
“Are you serious, senior?”
Chen Xinghe was a little surprised, he was clearly a waste body, why would Zhao Yuan take him as his disciple?
“Kid, don’t ask so many questions, are you willing?”
Zhao Yuan said in an urgent voice.
“Yes, as long as senior doesn’t mind junior, junior is willing.”
Chen Xinghe nodded his head, he was definitely willing.
“Good, if you kowtow to me three times, you will be considered a worshipper.”
“There are no rules under the old man’s discipline, as long as you are willing to suffer, everything is fine.”
Zhao Yuan suppressed the excitement within himself and said so.
Hearing these words, Chen Xinghe nodded and looked at Zhao Yuan and said.
“Master is above, please accept three obeisances from my apprentice.”
“Please don’t worry, Master, my apprentice doesn’t dare to say how much suffering he can suffer, but he can at least reach 80%.”
Chen Xinghe said with a serious face.
“Good.”
“In that case, then follow my master.”
Zhao Yuan looked at Chen Xinghe with satisfaction, and then spoke directly, wanting to take Chen Xinghe away.
“Go? Where to go, Master?”
Chen Xinghe asked.
“To suffer.”
Zhao Yuan spoke indifferently, followed by a hand, directly grabbing Chen Xinghe, and the next moment the space distorted and the two disappeared in the same place.
At the same time.
Great Wei South Yu Province.
Ping’an County.
Ping’an Inn.
At this moment, Xu Qingnian opened her eyes.
For three days in a row, Xu Qingnian had been thinking about who the second pawn of the White Cloth Sect was. In these three days, Xu Qingnian had replayed everything, back and forth, hundreds of times.
It was because of the replaying over and over again, plus the three days of pondering, that Xu Qingnian finally guessed.
Who was the pawn.
Not to say that she was ten percent sure, but Xu Qingnian was already seventy to eighty percent sure.
He got up and pushed open the window.
Xu Qingnian let out a long sigh.
And then, her figure disappeared in place.
About half an hour.
Zhao’s Medicine Shop.
Zhao Daifu carried a bag of medicinal herbs and slowly walked back into the middle of the pharmacy.
“Master, Uncle Li said that his mother was sick and asked you to take a look.”
The apprentice in the shop spoke up and looked at Doctor Zhao.
“Follow the previous recipe and give him a pair of medicine and send it over.”
“If it doesn’t get better, call me again.”
Doctor Zhao spoke, and with those words, he walked into his quarters.
Intending to take some rest.
Then Great Doctor Zhao walked into his room.
Once he walked in, Great Doctor Zhao took a look, and soon he set the medicine box aside, watching the prescriptions very commonly, as well as fiddling with the silver needles.
Little by little, time pa*sed.
More than two hours had pa*sed.
As the sky gradually darkened, Doctor Zhao got up slightly and hammered his legs, as if he was numb from sitting.
But at that moment.
A voice suddenly rang out.
“Doctor Zhao, do you still need to act by now?”
The voice rang out.
It was Xu Qingnian’s voice.
He appeared in the room, seemingly silent.
“Qingnian?”
“Why are you here?”
A look of surprise appeared in Doctor Zhao’s eyes as he looked at Xu Qingnian, looking very stunned.
But looking at Doctor Zhao’s eyes, Xu Qingnian sighed deeply.
“Doctor Zhao, you’ve already missed the mark.”
“Why do you need to hide?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to get you in trouble, no matter what, you saved my life in the first place.”
“This kindness is in Xu’s heart, as long as Doctor Zhao does not touch Xu’s bottom line, Xu will not count too much.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth as he looked at Dafu Zhao and said so.
It was.
The second pawn of the White Cloth Sect in Ping’an County was Dafu Zhao.
“Qingnian, what are you saying again?”
“Old man doesn’t understand a single word.”
Dafu Zhao’s eyes were a little confused, as if he really didn’t know anything at all.
But Xu Qingnian shook his head.
He was already sure, especially the moment he saw Dafu Zhao come in, Xu Qingnian was even more sure.
“Dafu Zhao.”
“There are a few things that you can’t explain clearly no matter what.”
“How did you come to know about the supernatural arts?”
“Why were you willing to keep the secret for me in the first place?”
“Also, the Zhu Sheng lineage is so certain that I practice the supernatural arts, so I guess it has nothing to do with Zhao Dafu.”
“In this world, the only person who can guarantee with his life that Xu Mou cultivates the supernatural arts is you, Doctor Zhao.”
Xu Qingnian slowly spoke out, not wanting to waste time, as the above questions, if Doctor Zhao could not give a perfect reason, it would basically confirm his identity.
Therefore, Xu Qingnian would prefer that Dr. Zhao speak straightforwardly.
Because he would indeed not hurt Dr. Zhao.
Dafu Zhao was silent, his eyes still confused as he looked at himself, looking somewhat puzzled.
At that moment, Xu Qingnian stood with his hands in the air and looked at Dafu Zhao and said quietly.
“If what was said just now, Doctor Zhao does not want to answer, then this is the last question.”
“When Mister Xu returned to Ping’an County, he drew the picture in white, and it is true that Doctor Zhao’s did not show himself.”
“But Doctor Zhao did send medicinal herbs, how does Doctor Zhao explain this?”
“You saw the white-clothed picture on the first day, only you didn’t take the risk.”
“It wasn’t until after Sheriff Chen appeared that you couldn’t resist going to the inn to check something out, but you found a good reason to send medicine to the inn.”
“So when I left that day, I found the herbs in the hands of the junior.”
“Of course, you can also explain, Doctor Zhao, that it was just a coincidence.”
“But, all coincidences in one person would not be a coincidence.”
“Please don’t worry, Doctor Zhao, there is no deep hatred between Mister Xu and the White Cloth Sect for the time being, and Mister Xu is a man who remembers favours, so he won’t make things too difficult for you.”
Xu Qingnian didn’t want to continue acting like this.
It was time for a showdown.
Indeed.
When Xu Qingnian said this, Dafu Zhao’s eyes changed.
It was no longer the same kind of doubt, but was replaced by helplessness.
“It’s impossible to hide it after all.”
“But it can’t be helped, how could the old man not expect that one day, you would become a Great Wei Half-Saint and reach the third rank of the martial realm.”
“If you weren’t a Half-Saint and didn’t have the Third Grade realm, you might have been able to keep it under wraps, it was old me who thought too much.”
Dafu Zhao spoke .
A statement was an admission of his identity.
“Since Dafu Zhao has admitted it, then Mister Xu will open up to the truth without delaying you and me.”
“Where is the real Martial Emperor’s Relic Treasure?”
Seeing Dafu Zhao’s admission, Xu Qingnian was still slowly relieved, after all, to keep dragging on like this would only delay each other.
The reason why Xu Qingnian was certain that the second pawn was Zhao Dafu was actually these three points.
How could an ordinary medicine shopkeeper know about such things as supernatural arts?
At first, Xu Qingnian did not think much about it because she thought that after all, Zhao Dafu treated people, so he had seen a lot, which was normal and could be explained if he really wanted to force it.
But what really made Xu Qingnian 100% sure.
There were two factors.
One was, why would Doctor Zhao help himself to conceal it? He was a healer, but as a healer, he knew the dangers of the unusual arts, so he should have reported it to the authorities first.
Afraid of his own retaliation?
Ping’an County might not be able to suppress himself at that time, but Cheng Lidong could completely suppress himself.
So Dr Zhao could have given an honest account of everything when Cheng Lidong questioned him.
But Zhao Dafu did not, which proves one thing: he did not want himself exposed.
This was something that could be explained if he had to, Zhao Dafu had a good heart.
There was just one thing that Xu Qingnian did not say, and this was the real key point.
That was that he was now so famous that the new saint of Great Wei, his own teacher, including some of his colleagues inside the county court, said they knew him on sight.
Xu Qingnian had not only been contemplating these three days, but had also inquired about some news, and basically the people who knew him, had more or less been blessed by him.
There are a few colleagues who have even gone to work in the Southern Yufu province just because they know themselves.
Even his own neighbours have also benefited a lot, proclaiming everywhere that it was a piece of feng shui land, which was obviously worth only thirty taels of silver, but was sold for three thousand taels of silver not to mention.
It is said that someone is now offering ten thousand taels of gold for this piece of land.
But in the whole of Ping’an County, only Zhao Dafu was very calm. Others might have rubbed themselves hard, but Zhao Dafu was different, he had saved his own life.
Even if Zhao Dafu is not interested in fame and fortune, there is always something he needs to help, right?
For almost a year, Dr. Zhao was too low-profile, a little too low-profile.
So with all the clues, Xu Qingnian was basically sure that the second secret son of the White Cloth Sect in Ping’an County was Zhao Dafu.
Each clue, not completely certain, but all the clues together, then it would be difficult to explain clearly.
And for Zhao Dafu, Xu Qingnian’s detection of this step was not something unexpected.
After all, Xu Qingnian had now become a Great Wei Half-Sage, plus he had indeed revealed his own footsteps in the first place, so there was nothing to explain.
At this moment, hearing Xu Qingnian’s question like this.
Dafu Zhao immediately spoke.
“You may not believe me when I say this, I have searched for over twenty years, but I have not found where the real Martial Emperor’s ruins are.”
“But the only thing that is certain is that the poem number is not wrong.”
Doctor Zhao said so, causing Xu Qingnian to frown.
After twenty years of searching, they hadn’t found it?
Wouldn’t that be trouble.
“The poem number? Is it the line about the bright moonlight on the bright moon mountain?”
Xu Qingnian inquired.
But there was one thing to say, this poem number was indeed a bit too awkward, and it was hard to imagine that Emperor Wu’s poetry standards could be so low.
If you couldn’t, ask a great scholar to help you out, there was no need to be so awkward.
“En.”
“There’s nothing wrong with the poem title, but Wangqiu Mountain isn’t the real site.”
Dafu Zhao replied.
“Have you been there?”
Xu Qingnian was a little curious.
“Been there.”
“But I didn’t open the box, I don’t need the Dan God’s Ancient Scripture, the formula is just that, that kind of thing doesn’t mean much to me.”
“If there are no surprises, this item should be in your hands.”
Dafu Zhao said in an extremely calm tone.
But the voice of the Dan God’s Ancient Scripture rang out in Xu Qingnian’s ears, but it was just a voice transmission.
“Brain disease.”
The Dan Shen Ancient Scripture resounded its voice, thinking that there was something wrong with Dafu Zhao’s brain.
Xu Qingnian, on the other hand, was inexplicably silent.
It was because Doctor Zhao was somewhat conceited, ah, and like everyone else in the world, he thought that the Dan God Ancient Scripture was a scripture, and if he learned that it was a dan furnace that could refine a realm-breaking pellet, he wondered what he would think.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you get it?”
Dafu Zhao spoke up, looking at Xu Qingnian with some curiosity in his eyes.
“Nope.”
“Got it in hand.”
Xu Qingnian gave a reply, while the latter nodded, he was actually not deliberately conceited.
As a doctor, he knew more about the art of refining pills, and sometimes, even though he had obtained the formula, the herbs were difficult to find, and even if he had obtained them, refining them was troublesome.
It was for various reasons that he did not open the chest, the main reason being that he did not want to alert the snake.
His goal was the true relic, and the way to open the true relic was the same as opening the false one.
He needed a helper.
“Wait.”
“Doctor Zhao, you went to the relics, so you also practiced the foreign arts?”
Suddenly, Xu Qingnian keenly noticed a question.
“Old man didn’t.”
“It was someone else.”
Dafu Zhao replied calmly.
“What about that person?”
Xu Qingnian asked.
“Dead.” Dafu Zhao’s answer was still calm, but it surprised Qingnian Xu a little.
“How did he die? Is it because of the supernatural arts?”
Xu Qingnian was curious.
“Pretty much.”
Doctor Zhao didn’t go into too much detail and only said more or less.
But when he said this, it made Xu Qingnian want to obtain the Demon Subduing Divine Stone more and more.
“The real Martial Emperor’s Ruins, do you really not know about it?”
Xu Qingnian returned to his words and did not continue to pull away from the topic anymore.
The Demon Subduing Divine Stone, which was in the Martial Emperor’s Ruins, was something he had to get.
“Old man is not lying to you.”
“I have searched for twenty years and have not found it, and now that I have reached my end, even if I found it, it would be of little use to me.”
“Qingnian, do you know why old man told you the whereabouts of the foreign arts in the first place?”
Dafu Zhao shook his head while looking at Xu Qingnian and said so.
“Why?”
Xu Qingnian looked at Doctor Zhao.
“Because old man has been pretending to be a doctor for twenty years, saving the dead and helping the wounded, and he forgot his identity while pretending.”
“That day when I saw the White Cloth Sect pattern in the inn, the reason I didn’t actually go over there in the first place was not because I was wary, but because the old man didn’t want to get involved anymore.”
“This is not a bad life, at least you don’t have to worry too much about anything, and you don’t have much to worry about.”
“It’s past the age of ambition, now I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace and quiet.”
Zhao Dafu spoke his mind, which was also an answer to a doubt.
At the beginning, he had guided Xu Qingnian to search for the supernatural arts, not for any purpose, but indeed just to see the dead and help the wounded.
Hearing these words, Xu Qingnian was somewhat silent.
At the end, Xu Qingnian bowed towards Doctor Zhao.
“Many thanks, sir.”
No matter who the other party was, and no matter what the other party’s purpose was, Xu Qingnian remembered this kindness when he saved himself.
“Let’s not talk about polite words.”
“If you really want to crack the secret of the Martial Emperor’s ruins, think about it.”
“The old man has been thinking about it for twenty years and no longer wants to.”
Doctor Zhao said so, and Xu Qingnian looked somewhat silent.
After a while, Xu Qingnian didn’t say anything more, but looked at Dafu Zhao and said.
“Doctor Zhao, if one day, if you need help from Mister Xu, just ask, Mister Xu will leave first.”
Since there were no clues, Xu Qingnian didn’t delay any longer.
“There’s no rush to go.”
“You said before that the Wen Gong knew that you practiced the foreign arts, right?”
Dafu Zhao spoke up and stayed Xu Qingnian.
“En.”
Xu Qingnian nodded, while there was some curiosity in her eyes now, shouldn’t this matter have been told by Zhao Dafu?
“You pay attention.”
“The matter of you cultivating the foreign arts is also known to the White Cloth Sect Master, apart from you and me.”
“No one else will know about it, and with the Sect Master’s character, he won’t say anything to the other disciples.”
“The Zhu Sheng lineage is involved with the White Cloth Sect Master, and it’s not a small involvement.”
Dafu Zhao reminded Xu Qingnian of this.
“Understood.”
“Many thanks to Dafu Zhao for reminding me.”
“By the way, Doctor Zhao, who is the White Cloth Sect Master?”
Xu Qingnian bowed towards Doctor Zhao, while asking about the identity of the White Cloth Sect’s Sect Master.
“I don’t know either, but the White Cloth Sect is extremely powerful, rich and powerful, and behind it must have escaped with the kings, possibly one of the princes.”
Dafu Zhao replied, he didn’t know who the sect’s master was either, but he could speculate some information.
“Good, Doctor Zhao, I will take my leave of Xu.”
Xu Qingnian didn’t care who the White Cloth Sect’s Sect Master was anymore, that was not the point.
Leaving the medicine shop.
Xu Qingnian wore a bucket hat.
With a somewhat calm expression, he walked in the middle of the street.
At this time, the moonlight was sparse.
Xu Qingnian was in a somewhat complicated mood.
I thought that after finding the second pawn of the White Cloth Sect, I would be able to obtain the secrets of the Martial Emperor’s ruins.
What he did not expect was that it would still be a wasted effort.
“The light of the bright moon on the bright moon mountain, the fate is in the yin and yang.”
“Awkward as hell.”
Xu Qingnian spat as he walked, this poem number was really a bit awkward, couldn’t understand Wu Di, if you can’t write poetry, then don’t write poetry, right?
He walked all the way towards his teacher’s house.
Xu Qingnian remembered that his teacher had said that Wangqiu Mountain was not the most suitable place to enjoy the moon.
If, according to what Zhao Dafu had said, there was no problem with the poem’s number, and the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture also said that the Martial Emperor’s relics must be in Ping An County.
So that means that the Martial Emperor’s Relic Treasure is still related to the bright moon.
The next moment.
Xu Qingnian’s figure appeared at his teacher Zhou Ling’s house.
At this moment.
Ever since Xu Qingnian had become famous, the most popular person in Ping’an County was Zhou Ling, the master of the Great Wei Half-Sage.
This name alone trumped everything else.
Xu Qingnian did not go inside directly, but waited outside quietly.
He waited until the hour of the sun, and only then did a group of people walk out of his teacher’s house.
After it was completely quiet.
Xu Qingnian waited quietly for another hour.
When the study room was lit up with light.
Xu Qingnian quietly and unobtrusively entered.
Inside the study.
Zhou Ling picked the lamp to read a book.
It was not that Zhou Ling was diligent, but since Xu Qingnian had become the new saint of Great Wei, he had inexplicably felt a great pressure as well.
His own disciple was a half-saint and he had only just entered the rank, so how could he not be humiliated?
He had entered the rank, some time ago, and it happened to be the rank that Xu Qingnian had entered on the day he became a saint.
Suddenly, Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out behind him.
“Teacher.”
As Xu Qingnian called out, Zhou Ling instantly got up, looked back and was slightly relieved to find that Xu Qingnian had appeared behind him.
“Shouren, what brings you here?”
Soon, Zhou Ling was filled with surprise and looked at Xu Qingnian.
“Teacher, there are some things that are not easy to talk about.”
“Do you still remember the Ming Yue Mountain that the student mentioned to you last time?”
Xu Qingnian was very direct.
“Remember.”
Zhou Ling nodded his head, he remembered this matter.
“Teacher, Mount Wangqiu is not Mount Mingyue.”
Xu Qingnian spoke directly.
He had told Zhou Ling before that Wangqiu Mountain was Ming Yue Mountain, and later Zhou Ling also informed himself that there seemed to be another place.
It was just that regarding this, Xu Qingnian did not care at the time, as he had already obtained the Dan Shen Ancient Scripture, and did not think much about it.
“It’s not the Bright Moon Mountain?”
“You wait.”
Zhou Ling moved and then found a map of the landscape in the bookcase and slowly unfolded it.
“Shouren, before you asked me to find out the Moon Mountain for you, I couldn’t find out after checking around, then you said that Wangqiu Mountain IX was Ming Yue Mountain, so my teacher checked carefully.”
“Wangqiu Mountain was indeed a place where eight villages in ten miles gathered to enjoy the moon decades ago.”
“It’s just that our Great Wei used to have a habit of enjoying the moon, do you know what it is?”
Zhou Ling spoke out, pointing to the map and saying so.
“What habit?”
Xu Qingnian was a little curious.
“Decades ago, when Great Wei did not have the Northern Expedition, the people would go to the highest mountain to enjoy the moon.”
“There was a rumour about this, saying that when Tai Zu was enjoying the moon back then, he specifically liked to pick the highest place.”
“Later on, the people followed the example, so the place to enjoy the moon before Wangqiu Mountain would be this hill.”
Zhou Ling pointed to a mountain on the map and said so.
“South Wind Mountain.”
Xu Qingnian muttered.
“En, it is South Wind Mountain, this mountain was originally the highest mountain in Ping’an County, but then for some unknown reason, it was quite short for no reason, probably due to an earthquake.”
“So my master feels that the Bright Moon Mountain you are looking for is most likely this mountain.”
Zhou Ling slowly explained.
Hearing Zhou Ling speak.
Xu Qingnian’s gaze could not help but fall on the map.
“The highest mountain.”
Xu Qingnian pondered while Dan Shen Gu Jing’s voice could not help but ring out.
“What your master said is really possible.”
“You can go and try.”
The Dan Shen Ancient Scripture spoke out, informing Xu Qingnian that he could try.
At that moment, Xu Qingnian also got up in his mind.
“Teacher, are there any other sayings?”
Xu Qingnian continued to ask, if there were any other guesses, then it would be fine to go along and give it a try.
“No, my teacher has thought about it for a long time, if Wangqiu Mountain is not the Bright Moon Mountain you are looking for, then this South Wind Mountain, should be what you are looking for.”
Zhou Ling said so.
“Understood.”
“Thank you for your trouble, Master.”
“My apprentice still has things to do, so I will come back to you when my apprentice has truly resolved the trouble.”
Xu Qingnian nodded, and then looked a little impatient.
“No matter, you go about your own business first, I understand.”
Zhou Ling nodded and let Xu Qingnian get busy first.
Today’s Xu Qingnian was not the reader who had just entered the rank, he was the new sage of Great Wei, and was responsible for the future of the country as well as the readers, Zhou Ling naturally understood.
“Thank you for your understanding, the student excuses himself.”
Xu Qingnian bowed towards Zhou Ling.
He then turned around and left, disappearing without a trace.
After Xu Qingnian had left, Zhou Ling sighed and then returned to his seat.
Just as quickly, Zhou Ling’s face changed and he slapped his thighs and said.
“It’s over, I forgot to ask Shouren to drop a few names for my master, sigh, I don’t know when the next time I’ll see him again, how confusing.”
Zhou Ling muttered.
The next moment.
Xu Qingnian arrived at South Wind Mountain after just a short while based on the topographical map.
South Wind Mountain was not famous in Ping’an County, at least Xu Qingnian had not heard anything about it, if not for Zhou Ling consulting ancient books to know some information, he was afraid that Xu Qingnian would not have known about this mountain at all.
From high up, the whole South Wind Mountain was indeed not high, and it was very ordinary, even slightly desolate, looking incomparably mediocre among all the hills.
He landed on the mountain.
Xu Qingnian took a look around, but there was nothing remarkable about it.
It was very odd.
“It feels like there’s something wrong with this place.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing spoke out, making Xu Qingnian somewhat curious.
“Where is there a problem?”
Xu Qingnian asked.
“Intuition.”
The Dan God Ancient Scripture slowly spoke out.
It made Xu Qingnian a little depressed.
“Anyway, whether it is or not, try it out, wait for the full moon and try to use the power of Yin and Yang to see if any relics appear.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing spoke out, telling Xu Qingnian not to be anxious.
“There’s no need to wait for the day of the full moon.”
“The full moon is now.”
Xu Qingnian raised his head to look, and in an instant the holy power within him filled the air, appearing to outsiders without any strange signs.
But the moon in the dome of the sky was gradually getting round and brighter.
This was the strength of a sub-saint.
As the full moon emerged.
The South Wind Mountain remained flat and uneventful, unable to find any hint of abnormality.
“The power of Yin and Yang.”
The Dan Shen Ancient Scripture reminded.
In the next moment, the power of yin and yang filled Xu Qingnian’s body like a stream of water, instantly filling the entire South Wind Mountain.
It was also at this moment.
Suddenly, Xu Qingnian sensed something different.
“There’s a spatial rift.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth as he perceived the spatial rift.
The entrance to the Martial Emperor’s Relic Treasure, was it really here?
“Go and take a look, but be careful, the Martial Emperor is not a good person either, he has problems in his later years and might be in danger.”
Dan Shen Gu Jing spoke out, telling Xu Qingnian to be more careful.
“Good.”
Xu Qingnian didn’t say anything and walked directly towards the spatial rift.
Soon, he arrived to the west and took a step across, the space around him instantly distorted, and the next moment Xu Qingnian’s figure disappeared.
And at the same time.
Southern Barbarians.
Inside a demonic cave.
The sound of a chanting scripture rang out.
A golden light filled the air, and a lotus platform bloomed. On top of the lotus platform, a woman stood, squeezing the Seal of Self-Realisation and shining with the light of Buddha, looking terrifying.
Hordes of demons were buried under the Buddha’s light.
Ten monks with Buddhist weapons in their hands stepped out, and the weapons shone with a beam of light, sweeping away the demons within the demon cave.
One by one, the demons were buried here, struggling and letting out angry roars as they tried to escape, but they could not resist this onslaught of Buddha’s light.
“Zhen.”
At the same time, a mid-air voice rang out.
In the middle of the Devil’s Cave, dozens of great scholars held scrolls in their hands, and a vast aura of righteousness pervaded around them, intercepting this group of demons, and by the Buddha Sect’s hand, they suppressed them one by one, turning into an invisible energy that entered the bodies of these Buddhist monks.
“Tianzhu Temple, the Zhu Sheng lineage, we have no enmity with you, you are so clean to kill, are you not afraid that one day we will kill Buddhists and slaughter Confucians?”
As the resigned voices rang out.
Within the Devil’s Cave, countless demons were indignant beyond measure.
Although they were demons, they were not the kind of demons that brutalised living beings, born as demons what could they do? What could they do if their cultivation gave rise to obsessions?
How could they not be angry when they were killed for no good reason today? How can they not be afraid?
“A demon is a demon.”
“A demon is a demon.”
“There is no need for such nonsense, the World Honoured One, Rudra, put to death.”
Amongst the Buddhist sect, a monk spoke up, he was very young, wearing a white robe, stepping forward with a sevenfold Buddha light behind his head, and a Buddha Dharma image behind him.
Throwing out the nunnery beads in his hand, they burst, producing an explosion that killed all the tens of thousands of demons, leaving not even the bones, replaced by a puff of white smoke.
“Tianzhu Temple, Vermilion Saint Reader, you remember to this daddy, this revenge, we will definitely take revenge.”
Deep within the Devil’s Cave, the miserable screams became even more poignant, and then the whole Devil’s Cave shook.
However, the woman from Lotus Terrace Mountain, threw out a white jade bottle, and in an instant a powerful force pervaded the Devil’s Cave, suppressing it.
“Search.”
The next moment, someone spoke.
In an instant, hundreds of monks rushed in, their golden light shining as brightly as if they were coated in a layer of gold paint.
Then, when they entered.
It was less than a quarter of an hour.
These hundreds of monks then turned back, but the monk in the lead was holding a wooden medal.
This wooden medal was also suffused with an unspeakable aura of righteousness.
At this moment, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the great scholars, and one of them even spoke directly.
“This is the wooden plaque, this is the relic of the Vermilion Saint, thank you all so much.”
He spoke out, wanting to take the wooden medal.
However, the young monk in white robes took a step forward, stopped the other party, and slowly spoke.
“Amitabha Buddha, the abbot has ordered that this item must be personally escorted to the Hao Ran Dynasty by us, so please forgive me, Master.”
He spoke out, his tone calm but his attitude extraordinarily firm.
The Confucians frowned slightly, but they didn’t say anything, it was good that the item was found, and as for personally escorting it there, they knew in their hearts that they didn’t just want to ask for some favours with the Zhu Sheng lineage?
Therefore, they did not say anything more.
However, just at that moment, someone from the crowd of monks could not help but speak up.
“Senior brother Wuming, just now, deep inside the Devil Cave, senior brother did feel the righteousness, these demons did not seem to be doing anything wrong, and seemed to be washing their demonic and devilish natures with the help of this wooden sign.”
It was just a monk, who was very young and could not help but say what he had seen inside the demon cave.
But when this was said, the white-robed monk, also known as Wuming, could not help but speak indifferently.
“What demons are best at is disguise.”
“Remember, none of the demons under the sky are good-hearted, even if they are just a little bit involved with demons, such people are all vicious and evil.”
“When we encounter them, we have only one choice, to drive them to extinction and do justice to Heaven.”
Wuming spoke out, his tone indifferent.
The latter, however, was silent.
As for these great Confucians, they did not have any heart at all to focus on these demons as well as the Buddhist sect.
They had come to seek the relic of the True Spirit of the Vermilion Sage, knowing that in the middle of the Devil’s Cave, they would join hands with the Buddhist Sect to suppress the demons here, so as to take out the relic of the True Spirit of the Vermilion Sage, that is, this wooden tablet.
Now this is done.
In seven days’ time, the nation-building ceremony will be a shock to the world.
So now they are all thinking about the nation-building ceremony in a few days’ time.
But the most urgent task at hand was to return the wooden medal to the Palace of Literature and hand it over to Lu Zi.
