Chapter 123, The Secret of the Earth Book
Chapter 124, The Secret of the Earth Book
A brothel room.
The excruciating pain in Ren Qingshan's mind was like taking ibuprofen; the medication was starting to take effect, and the pain gradually subsided.
The light from the Earth Book subsided, but the points of light and the raised outlines of the Divine Firmament Mountains remained permanently, perfectly natural, as if—it was always like this.
A thought crossed my mind.
Ren Qingshan looked at the "Divine Firmament Light Spot," but a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
One seal.
Countless gold and silver jewels.
A massive, ferocious dragon, bound by iron chains, struggles ferociously.
There were also more than a dozen figures, all dressed in finery, typical members of the Shenxiao Sect, and judging from their physique and demeanor, they were all powerful individuals.
This is—the martial arts legend from the Divine Firmament Sacred Realm?
"Sect Leader Brother————"
Can you still hear sounds?
Ren Qingshan was stunned—what kind of remote high-definition cloud monitoring is this?
Doesn't this mean that whoever carries the Divine Firmament Sacred Realm, a martial arts legend, will have their every move clearly visible to me from now on?
An inexplicable excitement filled my heart, and a smile appeared on my lips.
Um—I'm not a voyeur, it's just human nature to be curious. I'm only interested in martial arts secrets and techniques.
The functions of the Earth Book are so amazing?
Whether it's transforming the soil, placing wards, or "monitoring," they all seem to point in one direction: the Royal Army!
Under the whole world, could it be the king's land.
Only the emperor has such a need to transform the soil's fertility and inspect the royal land.
Moreover, it might not be the Great Zhou Dynasty, or even the previous Yin Dynasty, since emperors take turns sitting on the throne—I should brush up on my history.
"Young master—how did I end up lying on the ground?"
At this moment, Xu Niang, who had just been knocked unconscious, slowly woke up and asked in surprise.
Ren Qingshan glanced at her: "You must be very busy and tired. Give me my money back!"
She was terrified and begged for mercy repeatedly.
Ren Qingshan said some more harsh words, but finally took pity on her, threw fifty taels of silver at her, cursed her for being unlucky, and then got up and left.
She was already stunned by the scolding, but when she received the silver, she immediately beamed with joy and let the insults dry on her face.
Distracted by the "television" in his mind, Ren Qingshan went out and found Wei Bin.
The two returned to the teahouse.
It wasn't noon yet, and Chu Tiankuo and Feng Jianqin were still waiting at the teahouse, having ordered some sumptuous food while they ate.
Upon seeing the two return, Feng Jianqin remained calm, casually greeting them with her elegant, mature voice, as if nothing had happened and making no further mention of it.
Mature women possess self-control.
Moreover————
While drinking tea, she went through the whole story in her mind and vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
Wei Bin might be a lustful person.
But Ren Qingshan is definitely not one of them.
-
Although he is lustful and romantic, he is by no means vulgar. If he didn't have some other purpose, he certainly wouldn't have used this method to force himself on her.
There may be more to this matter than meets the eye.
Could it be that Father and Master Gongshu gave Ren Qingshan some instructions before they set off?
However, there were some things that Junior Brother couldn't say in front of Chu Tongzhi, which is why Chu Tongzhi used such a domineering and forceful way to drag him down the mountain.
This is a more reasonable explanation.
For this reason, the junior apprentice even went so far as to "taint himself."
The top constable of the prefecture city has very clear logic. Although he didn't guess the final result and was far off, his thought process was correct.
"Has the autumn festival on the mountain ended?"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he casually picked up a piece of crispy fried pork rib and began gnawing on it without any regard for decorum, while Ren Qingshan asked him a question.
On the television, the fighting hasn't started yet.
A dozen or so Shenxiao masters were on high alert, ready to fight. They chattered amongst themselves, speculating about the identity of the martial arts legend—but the martial arts legend didn't come. He was eating ribs at a teahouse down the mountain.
This whole thing has turned out that they were actually afraid too.
The prestige of this martial arts mecca has been shattered.
Ren Qingshan felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
But then I thought about it again. The sacred land of martial arts only has one martial arts legend. They have it, so of course they know its power.
This kind of behavior is quite normal.
Chu Tiankuo tapped his knuckles lightly on the table and shook his head slightly: "I'll send my men to inquire at the intersection. If there's anything, they'll come back to report. Let's wait a bit longer."
"Junior brother, come with me."
Feng Jianqin gracefully stood up, looked at Ren Qingshan and said in an unyielding manner, then walked towards the door.
Ren Qingshan was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and chuckled sheepishly, "I'm not going! I didn't mean to!"
She gave him a coquettish look and said leisurely, "How could I blame you? Come on—Lord Chu, Junior Brother Wei, please excuse us for now."
Wei Bin shrugged, raised his eyebrows, and pouted – “Hurry up, your senior sister is going to get you!”
Chu Tiankuo remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.
He certainly didn't want to get involved in such romantic affairs.
With a sigh, Ren Qingshan got up and followed her out.
at this time.
In my mind.
On the television, Elder Shenxiao heard that someone had arrived outside and had already sent two people out to investigate!
Ren Qingshan felt a strong sense of resentment, like when his mother snatched the remote control from him during an exciting part of a movie.
"Junior brother, before we set off, did Master Gongshu give any instructions?"
The two walked side by side down the street. Under the willow trees by the river, looking around to make sure no one was there, Feng Jianqin asked softly.
"I instructed them to protect you."
Ren Qingshan casually remarked, "They're fighting on TV!"
Feng Jianqin pursed her lips: "Tell me the truth, do Father and Master have other plans? Are they hiding them from me?"
"No!"
-
Ren Qingshan's tone was anxious: "A fight has broken out outside, with people shouting and yelling, but due to the limited scope and angle, there's no visual evidence."
"Junior brother, do you have feelings for me?"
Suddenly feeling her grab his hand, Ren Qingshan instinctively pulled away, saying with slight impatience, "Senior Sister, have some self-respect."
What is Ma De doing?
Don't try to tempt me with these things; I know you're faking it!
Go ahead and take your pants off!
"You weren't like this when you were holding me just now."
Feng Jianqin's tearful performance only made it seem like he was trying to cover something up.
"Ah, right, right, they've all been wary of you. They think you're not one of their kind and that you must have ulterior motives. For so many years, they've forbidden you from refining the Five Elements spiritual objects and breaking through to the Innate Realm."
Ren Qingshan had a sudden thought. Since things had come to this point, he might as well give her a hard time.
This was something Wei Bin said privately, so it should be true.
Feng Jingxian both doted on and guarded against this daughter, forbidding her from refining the five elements spiritual objects to break through to the innate realm, but also leaving her a sliver of hope: if she were to break through by practicing external martial arts, then she would be considered quite capable.
Feng Jianqin's body suddenly trembled.
She fell silent, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and turned her head away.
My senior sister broke down.
"What are you afraid of!"
"Even if you truly break through to the Innate Realm, he can't possibly kill you, can he?"
"Kill your father! Restore your kingdom! A true woman should act boldly and decisively!"
Ren Qingshan was full of rambling nonsense, but seeing that she was really upset, he deliberately said these things to comfort her.
after awhile.
She waved her hand gently, but didn't respond. Her tears completely subsided, and she simply smiled brightly and said as if it were nothing, "It's alright, let's go, let's go back."
On television.
The plot is getting really exciting.
The Shenxiao Sect Leader pierced his fingertip, dripping a drop of blood into the Shenxiao Seal, instantly increasing his strength. With his right hand wielding his sword, he unleashed countless sword energies, slashing at more than a dozen formidable enemies dressed in Shenxiao disciple robes, displaying awe-inspiring divine might!
Between heaven and earth, all that remains is the shadow of swords!
Even I, myself, probably couldn't withstand that sword strike.
Seven enemies were immediately cut in half at the waist, while the others scattered and fled.
After unleashing this sword strike, the sect leader seemed to be in considerable pain, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood, all of which landed on the Divine Firmament Seal. The seal emitted an earthy yellow light, completely enveloping him.
In a short while, he recovered and unleashed another sword strike!
This sword strike is even stronger than the previous one!
It seems capable of destroying the world!
Ren Qingshan was stunned—what kind of martial arts legend was this, requiring immense time, energy, and effort?
"Junior brother? What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Ren Qingshan remained unmoved, Feng Jianqin asked in a leisurely tone, her mature and sexy voice beautiful.
Ren Qingshan turned his head and smacked his lips twice: "I was thinking: if I were you, I would marry myself—even as a concubine, it would be better than staying at home and suffering."
"Or, I could just go and join the Divine Firmament Holy Realm, become a disobedient and unfilial woman, study hard and train diligently, and after many years, when my strength surpasses my father's, I could storm home, make him weep and admit my awesomeness, and apologize to me."
"If all else fails, I can follow the emperor, use my beauty and cunning to become the tyrant of the harem, develop my power, whisper sweet nothings in the emperor's ear, and win over a few ministers. At that time, I won't even need to suppress them; the Feng family will naturally have to obey me."
She was completely stunned.
Her large, beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief as she stared unblinkingly at this shameless and arrogant scoundrel.
Hold still for a few breaths.
Her full lips curled up slightly as she said in a teasing tone, "If I had met you twenty years earlier, I would have followed your method."
Those are different kinds of lives.
It sounds amazing!
Seeing that the dust had settled on the "television," and that the elders of Shenxiao had returned to the cave to protect their sect leader, and that the dragon also seemed listless, Ren Qingshan then focused his attention on his senior sister.
"Please don't."
"I was just lying to you."
"If that's the case, you definitely can't beat Old Feng or Master Gongshu—let's just talk about it privately, brag a bit, and have some fun."
"7
Feng Jianqin: Hmm?
Junior brother?
She wanted to punch someone, she really wanted to punch someone.
But she felt inexplicably cheerful. Watching Ren Qingshan pretend to flee in panic, running away with his head in his hands, she smiled, her smile as bright and radiant as a peony blooming by the river.
The two returned to the teahouse.
Wei Bin coldly observed the air. Seeing that his senior sister's mood had indeed improved a lot, his lips twitched slightly, and he gave Ren Qingshan a thumbs up.
Junior brother—awesome!
Ren Qingshan sipped his tea calmly. Basic procedure, don't be silly.
Chu Kuotian's eyes flickered slightly as he saw a servant rushing over to report the situation.
The servant overheard a martial artist coming down from the mountain say: "There is chaos in Shenxiao Square. People from the Divine Dragon Sect and the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect are causing trouble. Various poisonous smokes and hidden weapons are being used. The two sides are fighting fiercely, and the number of dead and injured is unknown. Even innate martial artists have died several times—they have all gone mad with killing!"
His face was serious as he suppressed his shock, turned to look at Ren Qingshan, and let out a long sigh.
This time, we really owe a lot to Ren Qingshan.
If Ren Qingshan hadn't been cautious by nature and gone down the mountain early to attend the ceremony, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Where is Lord Wu?"
Have you seen Lord Wu?
