When Lu Jing saw this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the man in black.
He probably wouldn't have thought that the person he saved would turn out to be a big devil on the Imperial City's most wanted list even if he didn't hesitate to expose himself.
People like He Qing in the demonic path are inherently selfish and only consider their own safety in everything, regardless of the life and death of others.
Even if he was rescued this time, it was rare for his conscience to be discovered. When the man in black asked him to find the hero Feng Chaohan, what little conscience he had left would probably disappear immediately.
The reason why I waited for a cup of tea was purely because I was worried that the man in black would come back halfway.
After that, He Qing used the key in his hand without hesitation.
According to the records in the essay, as soon as He Qing inserted the key into the water, he immediately felt the key's strong desire to escape from his fingers.
But because He Qing had been reminded by the man in black, he was mentally prepared and still held the key firmly in his hand.
After a moment, he saw the water slowly parting before his eyes.
And a door is revealed below!
Although there were enough strange things tonight, He Qing couldn't help but lose consciousness again after seeing this scene.
Before he could react, the key had already taken him flying towards the door.
After passing through the door, He Qing discovered that he was not at the bottom of the sea, but on a small island.
He was startled at first, thinking that he had returned to the island where the Qinglian Sword Sect was located, but then he looked around and saw no carved rock walls.
Moreover, the area of this island is much smaller than the island where the Qinglian Sword Sect is located.
He Qing looked to the west and could see the faint coastline, which gave him some peace of mind. Then he found a wooden boat on the other side of the island.
Relying on the canoe, he finally reached the shore. After going ashore and asking around at a nearby fisherman, he found out that he was still on the border of Yuzhou Prefecture, but he was almost a hundred miles away from the city.
Seeing the sun rising from the sky, He Qing felt that everything last night seemed like a big dream.
But the strange-looking key that brought him back was clearly still in his hand.
Reminding him that all of this was real.
Even with He Qing's courage, he felt a chill running down his back when he recalled the previous events.
If he hadn't been rescued by the man in black, he would definitely not be able to get out after he went to the island. He would be detained in a corner. Even if he could gain eternal life by then, what would be the point of practicing peerless magical skills?
And from what the man in black said, there might be some terrifying mystery behind why Han Pingping, Jin Shengwen and others could stay young forever. Otherwise, why would those two people lure him to the main hall?
The more He Qing thought about it, the more he became afraid.
This kind of fear is not the fear of the weak towards the strong.
Compared to righteous sects such as the Imperial City Division and Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, He Qing was undoubtedly weak, but he knew where he was weak compared to his opponent.
He also knows how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses to deal with the enemy on the opposite side.
But this time the situation was different. The fear in He Qing's heart stemmed from the fear of the unknown.
What happened on that island completely shattered his existing understanding.
He didn't know where the enemy was or what methods the enemy had. He didn't know how to defend himself even if he wanted to defend against it.
The most important thing is that the man in black he met on the island seems to be connected to the right way.
——Lingzhou hero Jiangzuo Kuaijian Feng Chaohan. He Qing had also heard of this name and knew that this man had extraordinary martial arts skills and was a first-class master. He also had a very good reputation.
He Qing didn't know what the relationship was between him and the man in black. The most important thing was that he didn't know if he had magical means and immortal treasures like the man in black.
Of course, what He Qing was most afraid of was the man in black.
Previously, because he was worried that the man would discover his true identity, he decisively threw the man in black on the island.
But he didn't know if the other party had other means to leave the island and come back to seek revenge on him.
So he didn't dare to stay at all. He killed the fisherman who asked him and left Yuzhou Mansion in a hurry.
They fled all the way west to Wujiang City, the most important water transportation town with a population of hundreds of thousands.
The bustling place in the world, looking at the bustling carriages and horses, finally diluted some of the gloom hovering over He Qing's head.
He lived in seclusion here under the pseudonym Mr. Liumei, and also hooked up with the city's lord Bo Songze.
By collecting rewards for helping Song Ze deal with troubles, He Qing lived a very comfortable life here, and even took in a female disciple and concubine.
He doesn't want to practice martial arts anymore, he just indulges in sex every night.
However, it could be seen that He Qing still could not forget what happened that night.
After arriving in Wujiang City, his whole personality almost changed drastically. He became extremely cautious in his actions, and at the same time, he was also looking for answers carefully.
Lu Jing flipped through the essays, and found that they were basically all kinds of stories about gods and monsters that He Qing had secretly collected. However, after investigating most of them, he found that they were just ignorant locals spreading rumors.
The remaining small part cannot be verified.
In addition, He Qing was still silently paying attention to Feng Chaohan's movements.
As a result, about three months ago, he suddenly received news that Lingzhou hero Jiang Zuo Kuai Jian Feng Chaohan was plotted by his enemies and was dead.
He Qing had always been doubtful about this matter, so he asked Lord Song Bo to send someone to Lingzhou to help him investigate...
At this point, Lu Jing has basically finished reading the essay.
Lu Jing's heart was also shocked.
When he came across the obsession in the book before, Lu Jing had asked him if this... was a world of immortals.
As a result, Obsession in the book was very confused about this and failed to give Lu Jing an answer.
But after reading Yama Wang Xiao's essay, Lu Jing was 80% sure - there are indeed practitioners in this world.
The man in black was obviously one of them.
However, unlike the immortals he had seen before who were flying high and flying with swords, the opponent's fighting method was more like martial arts, supplemented by magic.
This made Lu Jing feel familiar, reminding him of a certain series of games that were popular in his previous life.
The protagonist in it relies on his excellent swordsmanship, as well as the aid of seals and magic potions to fight.
Of course, the information in his hands was still too little, and Lu Jing didn't know what level of existence the man in black belonged to among practitioners, and whether there were more powerful supernatural powers beyond that.
But he at least confirmed one thing, that is, martial arts is indeed useful. Even for practitioners, it is still one of their relies, so Lu Jing has no intention of changing his original plan.
For him now, the most important thing is to first make up for the basics, and then practice the Crazy One Hundred and Eight Staffs and the Raging Waves to a great level. This way, at least he will have almost nothing in the world. A natural enemy.
As for other things, Lu Jing admitted that the essay by Yama Wang Xiao had indeed aroused his curiosity.
Lu Jing was especially interested in the spell Suo cast when the man in black jumped off the cliff.
But the problem was that he didn't know where to study.
He Qing couldn't find anything useful after searching for so long. When Jiang Zuo Kuai Jian Feng Chao Han died three months ago, this clue was also broken.
Lu Jing then lowered his head and shifted his gaze to the evil key that he threw into the pottery pot under the bed.
