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; by the way, she dispelled the negative influence of the fire bronze armor on Zheng Dan and awakened Duanmu Shuliang, who had been unconscious before.
According to her speculation, 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 transformation technique that she was more concerned about, and the qi-refining technique he practiced.
The art of transforming from the mortal world comes from an incomplete skill that the former Yue King Yun Chang developed 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 of 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, one can even transform one's physique into the legendary "God-Demon Void Dao Body", towering over Kong Qiu, who has the best physique in the world, and is so powerful that There is no way to add to it.
But at the same time, starting from the fourth level, the physical transformation needs to pass the test of heaven, 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 those of the third and fourth levels fell sadly because of this, and 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, had cultivated it to the fifth or sixth level. After achieving great aura, he swept through countless masters of the Wu army at that time.
Moreover, theoretically speaking, for practitioners with ordinary initial physiques but amazing understanding, before the fourth level, the Mortal Transformation Technique is a complete positive improvement.
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 could use the essence of other people's flesh and blood to replace heavenly materials and earthly treasures were 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 at a glance, even if he didn't practice it, it should be able to give him some inspiration.
As for the Qi-refining method "Jinghuoyang Gong" practiced by Peng Li, 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 nature. Each realm requires taking 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 level of Yang Wuji, which is called "the sun's true energy". "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 arrived near 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 streets outside were filled with the whirring sound of weapons being waved, like a strong wind, startling pedestrians who passed by to stay away 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 seventy-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 with a simple bamboo slip 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 moment.
Cang Banying is the only son of Cang Fushi, the master of Fengyan Cave Village in Panyu Ridge and the top master of Gangjin. 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 concentrating on reading. 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. They were Xu Shiyi and Xu Shiyi, the fourth and fifth best players 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 evenly with Xu Shiyi and Wang Jiujiu's short sword and long beryllium pole.
Xu Shiyi was originally a chef in a large wine shop, and he was famous for his delicious food. Later, he gave up cooking and studied martial arts, and developed an extremely rare sword technique. He was also a top expert in Huajin;
Wang Jiujiu is the eldest disciple of Kurafushiya. He adapted the halberd technique taught by his teacher and created a vicious and strange beryllium technique, which fully utilized the characteristics of the weapon. If it were not for a slight lack of skill, he would still be ranked high. It should be above Promise 11.
With the two of them joining forces, even if they are not as good as a real Gang Jin master, they are almost the same. As a result, not even a hair on the white ape could be touched. Instead, in a short period of time, he was slapped twice on each body with bamboo slips.
Could the bamboo slip in Bai Yuan's hand be the same volume in the intelligence? If it was damaged, how would you report it to the superiors?
Cang Banying suddenly thought of it and couldn't help but take a deep breath. He used the secret martial arts "Sealing Spirit Feather Transformation Technique" passed down from his family and the Tianzhu Sect. He took out a handful of poison-quenching copper needles and tried 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 away any property, just thinking about the forces that drove us to seal the Flame Cave, so that this kind of misfortune happened to me..." 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. ….
"The ape has met an enemy? Qing, it shouldn't be in danger, right?" The weak-looking girl among them spoke, and made a voice that sounded like the sounds of nature, which made people indulge in it.
Cang Banying shook his head. With the effect 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.
From Cang Banying's point of view, Zheng Dan looked quite weak and was nothing to worry about. As long as he restrained Zhao Qing next to him with one move, he could 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 can there be any masters in this small town of Chungquanyi?
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 fight against.
Even though he was slighted, once he took action, Cang Banying still went all out.
The dagger was raised, and the Fengling Yu Transformation Technique suddenly erupted. It silently pushed away the airflow around him, and passed through a sharp cold light, heading towards the long bronze sword on Zhao Qing's waist. He wanted to take the weapon first. Attack the person again.
But just as he was halfway through the move, Zhao Qing glanced at him coldly. An indescribable 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.
Is this the legendary eyes as swords? !
The next moment, Cang Banying felt a sudden numbness in several large acupoints on his body. An irresistible force pressed down from the air above, causing him to 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 who was fighting with Monkey King and holding a kitchen knife 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 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. "What is the purpose of you three bandits coming here? Tell the truth!"
The state of her Mingyu aura at this time has reached the point where she can move her aura as she pleases, with no way of changing, and 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 is Xu Shiyi and Wang Jiujiu, two masters at the peak of their strength.
"Put down the young village leader!" Xu Shiyi ignored the three bloody marks on his left arm caused by the bamboo slips, took two steps, and suddenly leaped out. With great 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, and at the cost of having the beryllium rod broken by the Monkey King, 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 in the air with one hand was really amazing. Therefore, they only 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 it 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 small blood dot between their eyebrows, and it fell straight to the ground in mid-air, stirring up dust on the ground.
Unless he has mastered the strong aura to protect his body, or his moves like Monkey King are close to her level, no matter how powerful he is at transforming his strength, he can just end it with a single sword.
The ape man jumped to the two bodies, 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 tried to rummage through the bamboo slips while the experts were away, but was caught on the spot. Under interrogation, it learned that a bandit had bribed this person.
It knew how to use its tricks. It deliberately learned to leave some secret codes, prepared an ambush in advance, and deceived 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 beat it slowly and have fun.
In its view, Zhao Qing's kung fu suddenly improved by an unknown amount, which was really a good thing. Next, I can also learn from her to break through the bottleneck that has trapped me 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 bodies.
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 on, 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 increasingly cold corpses beside 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 fluctuations in the other person's mental state, 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 mind, as long as you can't hide it from your own heart, subtle fluctuations will occur involuntarily, so you can't hide it from her. ….
Is the 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 developed 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 Yi Zai 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 matter, he explained the situation to Zhao Qing and planned to return to his family to hold a secret funeral for the five elders of the Peng family to prevent civil strife. The elixir she needs will be delivered to Kuaiji City in a month.
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 was naturally not as good as the original horse-drawn cart of the Duanmu clan, but it was much faster than the ox-drawn cart that Zhao Qing originally rode.
…
Although Ruoye River is called a stream, in fact, it is a wide river, also known as "Ruoye River". The river is two or three miles wide, and its total length is more than 10,000 miles.
The place where the group of people 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 white clouds rising in the sky, green peaks clustered on both sides of the bank, deep green trees; hazy light and shadows of flowers surrounding the mountain shade, and the flowers turning around the mountains were so sparse that they turned green.
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 scene will appear in front of you, making people never have the dull feeling again.
On the river bank in the distance, small villages are dotted on it, with crisscrossing streets and green mountains surrounding it. 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, Jique, Shengxie, Yuchang, and Chunjun.
It is said that these five magic 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. Big river.
The fish and shrimp species that were born in and grew up in rivers also have a subtle sense of swordsmanship.
Among them, there are big fish from a certain age. Because there are always people hoping to use them to understand and improve their sword spirit, the selling price is also more expensive than elsewhere.
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 it to Zhao Qing: "Count the dates. The migration time of one of the fish schools should have arrived."
