"What will it cost me?"
Yanwu's voice was very low, and he was sure that the old monster in the dark could hear it.
The young owner of Shenquan Villa once saw a master who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts. The sound of mosquitoes and flies could be heard within a ten-foot radius.
"You are very good. There is no such thing as a free lunch."
Zhou Yi secretly raised Yanwu's evaluation to a higher level and said slowly: "I need you to join the Jinyi Guards and try your best to climb up and become an official of Qianhu!"
Qianhu, a member of the Jinyi Guards, is in charge of the intelligence of the government. His official position is not as good as that of a governor, but his power is not much worse.
"Senior, do you want to control the imperial court?"
Only by guessing the old monster's thoughts can Yanwu save his life and get more benefits.
When my father taught martial arts during his lifetime, he told many anecdotes about the world, the most common of which was that the old monster had a weird temper and a surly personality, so you must be cautious when dealing with him.
"What is there in this mere imperial court that I covet? The throne is a treasure in the eyes of others, but in my eyes it is nothing more than bullshit!"
There was a hint of madness in Zhou Yi's voice: "The only thing in this world worthy of my pursuit is to cultivate immortality and live forever!"
Yanwu's mind was spinning when he heard the words, and he tried to paint a portrait of the old monster in the dark through every sentence and every word.
Strong in strength, arrogant and arrogant, with no intention of power. His longevity is short, and he places his hope in the illusory immortality...
"Similar to the twilight emperor in the history books!"
Yanwu calmed down for a moment, thinking he had figured out the old monster's condition, and asked: "I am willing to obey the orders of seniors, but I wonder what I can get?"
As he finished speaking, his head was hit hard and he lost consciousness instantly.
A shadow fell into the prison, Zhou Yi put his palm on Yan Wu's back, and his magic power came out of his body, running along the meridians and muscles.
After a while.
Yanwu woke up leisurely, smelled a fishy smell, and found that his whole body was covered in greasy and sticky filth.
The limbs are strong and the meridians are smooth.
"Wash the essence and cut the marrow!"
Yanwu immediately activated his family's internal energy, and the efficiency was about 20 to 30% faster than before. Don't underestimate the difference, it was enough to bridge the gap between ordinary people and geniuses.
Shenquan Villa has been inherited for more than a hundred years. The marrow-cleansing decoctions and secret techniques accumulated by five generations have been used by Yanwu since he was a child. However, the combined effect is not as good as this time.
"Junior will join Jinyiwei as soon as possible."
Yanwu suppressed his original small thoughts, secretly the old monster's strength was so terrifying that it was difficult to fathom, and he was most likely the legendary innate master.
"Very good! When you become one of the 100 members of the Jinyiwei family, you will start to explore the local strange objects, strange people, and strange places, and compile them into a book. I will go and get them."
Zhou Yi said temptingly: "As long as it is really related to the immortal way, you can get the magical secrets from me. Even if you are an innate master, it is not impossible!"
"Juniors will try their best!"
Yanwu asked cautiously: "Can I know the name of the senior?"
Zhou Yi was silent for a long time and said quietly.
"King of Wheels!"
No one would have thought that the King of Wheels was a eunuch, and it was equally impossible for him to have thought that he was a jailer who delivered meals!
Yanwu said respectfully: "Junior Yanwu of Shenquan Villa, his parents died at the hands of the Black Cavalry. In the future, he will be avenged, and this life will be whatever he wants."
"Jiejiejiejie..."
The words of loyalty failed to win praise, but instead attracted a series of strange laughter.
"I have seen too much loyalty and betrayal, so I never believe in repaying one's life with one's life. Only consistent interests are eternal. Someday if you think you are strong, you can try to challenge me, but if you lose, you will die!"
"yes."
Yanwu's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to try any more.
…
A twelve prisons.
Young Ye Xiong was huddled in the corner of the cell, with a bruised nose and swollen face, and bruises all over his body.
In the cell, the weak are the strongest, and those who are weak will be bullied to sleep next to the toilet. What's more, the gang Ye Xiong belongs to is enmity with the strongest person in the prison.
"Cough cough cough..."
He coughed a few times, and due to the severe damage to his lungs, a few drops of blood sprayed out.
At this time.
An indistinguishable voice sounded in Ye Xiong's ears.
"Want to take revenge?"
"think!"
Ye Xiong answered without hesitation that if he was beaten by his enemies for a few more days, he would probably die in prison.
"What are you willing to give?"
"everything!"
"Jiejiejie, very good..."
A mantra passed into his ears, and the essence of its martial arts was far beyond the skills of Ye Xiong's gang.
"From now on, your life belongs to me, the King of Wheels!"
Zhou Yi's voice was vague and it was difficult to tell the direction: "Little guy, that person's acupuncture points have been sealed, you can try the wonders of the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Art."
Ye Xiong looked at the only straw mat in the prison. The strong man who originally snored loudly became as quiet as a dead man.
"Thank you, King of Wheels!"
…
"Want to have power?"
"Do you want to dominate the world and be invincible?"
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live?"
"Yes or no!"
The seductive voice, like a ghost, echoed throughout the prison.
The desires of people in the martial arts world far exceed those of ordinary people. They practice martial arts not to strengthen their bodies, but to pursue drinking, sex, wealth, or greed for fame and power.
When an opportunity comes, no one will give up, even if they make a deal with the devil from hell!
…
The idle chess piece fell.
Zhou Yi will not pay attention to its follow-up, only give it the capital to start, and will not rush to become a nanny.
After all, there wasn't much else in the prison, and the place was full of people with deep hatreds.
One group died, and another group was recruited.
Picking out three or five people who look pleasing to the eye every year, washing the essence and marrow of those with good qualifications, and teaching magic skills to those with low talents, there will always be no shortage of chess pieces.
"Cast the net wide and catch more fish. Even if 99% of the chess pieces die prematurely, if you catch one, you will be rewarded a hundredfold."
Zhou Yi allowed the chess pieces to develop on their own. After ten or twenty years in Jinyiwei, who would suspect that they were someone's spies.
As the martial arts strength increases, at least there are hundreds of households in the local area, and the Tiqi under his command are all over the prefectures and counties, and no strange people or objects can escape supervision.
"This plan may be rough, but by extending the time line, I will be in an invincible position."
Zhou Yi understood that his biggest enemy was not the immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons, but the endless loneliness.
Immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons can eventually be transcended, but loneliness will become more and more difficult to control as time goes by.
For example, if spiritual energy is thin in the ordinary world, mana grows as slowly as a snail, and if one cannot make any progress for ten or twenty years, he will definitely yearn to enter the world of immortality. However, rushing in rashly is no different than committing suicide.
This is just the Qi Refining realm, and it can take up to a few hundred years to reach its peak. When it breaks through to a higher realm, it will take hundreds or even thousands of years to break through the bottleneck. Should we just take risks and compete for opportunities?
"It is impossible to take risks. It is impossible to take risks in this life. You will only use time to hone your bottlenecks."
The most indispensable thing in Zhouyi is time, and the biggest enemy is also time. You must endure the long loneliness of time and the boringness of slow progress in strength. If you don't fight, you will not lose!
"As for how to overcome loneliness... I can only refer to the old monsters in the past life books. The one who is most similar to me is Emperor Shitian!
"The same longevity is endless, the same qualifications are poor, so we must take Emperor Shitian as a warning. Don't engage in disputes of will, don't fight to be the best in the world, be low-key, and be cautious in doing things."
"Even if there is a powerful enemy in this world, survive him to death and then dance on his grave!"
Zhouyi summarized the death lessons of the immortals, examined myself three times every day, and repeatedly warned myself to stay steady and not wander.
