Chapter 268: Chapter 268 Letter from Number Five

Chapter 268: Chapter 268 Letter from Number FiveChu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up, and he was not angry, but full of expectation, and smiled: "The previous exchange was a bit boring, if you have any unique skills, just use them."

Xu Qi'an nodded, and said: "I will only use one move, and after one move, our exchange will end."

He was preventing Chu Yuanzhen from stabbing him with a knife and stabbing him into a hedgehog. By then, Xu Qi'an died at the age of 20.

Chu Yuanzhen pondered for a moment and asked: "After using the unique skills, will you enter a weak period?"

.... The top scholar is really smart and has a sharp mind! Xu Qi'an was a little impressed and nodded: "Yes."

"What unique skills?"

Yuan Jingdi, who heard the conversation between the two, looked at Luo Yuheng beside him.

Luo Yuheng shook her head. She actually knew it, but she just didn't want to waste her breath with Yuan Jingdi.

Her nonchalant attitude made Emperor Yuan Jing frown secretly. As the supreme ruler of the country, he ruled over hundreds of thousands of miles of Dafeng and dominated the lives and deaths of his subjects.

But in front of this woman, he became an emperor with nothing to show for himself, with no advantages at all.

Emperor Yuan Jing had always wanted to practice dual cultivation with the national teacher to achieve his wish of longevity, but every time he proposed this idea, Luo Yuheng always ignored or shirked it.

In front of this second-grade Taoist master, he seemed to be a poor boy with a shallow family background. This made Emperor Yuan Jing very discouraged.

Clang!

In the garden, Xu Qian'an retracted the black gold long sword and returned it to the scabbard. Then, he took a bow step, his knees sank slightly, and his right hand slowly pressed on the hilt of the sword, making a gesture of preparing to draw the sword.

His breath was steady and his emotions settled. He was like a coast before the tsunami, his qi contracted and collapsed into his body.

Chu Yuanzhen showed a serious look, and with a light move, he summoned a branch and held it in his hand, using the branch as a sword.

Clang... Xu Qian'an's thumb ejected the black and gold long sword, and he visualized the roaring golden lion in his mind. With a deep roar, he drew his sword.

Chu Yuanzhen's ears were shaken by a "boom", as if a burnt thunder exploded above his head, and then he saw a thin line of sword energy flashing by.

At this critical moment, the top scholar slowly handed over the branch in his hand.

Boom!

The moment the branch touched the sword energy, a violent shock wave instantly swept the entire garden. The rockery under Chu Yuanzhen's feet exploded first, followed by the pavilion behind him. The four pillars broke with a sound, and the pavilion roof flew up into the sky.

The calm pool water stirred up a violent wave, and it was about to collapse the quiet room behind him. Luo Yuheng opened her red lips and said, "Stop!"

The violent shock wave stagnated for a moment, and then disappeared.

In the field, Xu Qiyan sat cross-legged, with a knife across his knees, and his face was depressed.

Half of Chu Yuanzhen's sleeves were blown off, revealing a strong forearm with prominent muscles. He slowly bent his five fingers, and then loosened them, repeating several times to relieve the pain, and sighed:

"Awesome, awesome... If you were at the fifth level, this knife would have seriously injured me."

Damn, I hit with all my strength, but I just cut a lonely... Xu Qiyan complained in his heart, raised his head, imitated Xu Erlang's expression, and said lightly:

"As expected of a strong man who can fight with Li Miaozhen, Xu is willing to admit defeat." Xu Qiyan is also a very proud person, and his arrogance is no less than that of the scholars in Yunlu Academy... Chu Yuanzhen smiled and nodded.

Emperor Yuan Jing glanced at the garden and turned his head to look at Luo Yuheng. The beautiful female imperial teacher stared at Xu Qiyan.

Seeing this, Emperor Yuan Jing smiled happily, "Chu Yuanzhen is indeed an outstanding disciple of the Renzong. This level of cultivation is rare. Xu Qiyan is still far behind, but he is only a silver gong after all, so he still needs to work hard."

It seems that Chu Yuanzhen is praised and Xu Qiyan is stepped on, but in fact it is just the opposite. A mere silver gong cuts off Chu Yuanzhen's sleeve. There are many such silver gongs in the night watchman's office.

Luo Yuheng forced a smile.

Emperor Yuan Jing suddenly became more cheerful and said with a smile: "I have something to do in the palace, so I can't stay for long. Imperial teacher, please see me off."

Luo Yuheng made a gesture of invitation.

At this time, Xu Qiyan in the yard suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, I am here."

Chu Yuanzhen also bowed, but did not speak.

Emperor Yuan Jing and Luo Yuheng had no choice but to stop. The former glanced at Xu Qi'an, who had been promoted to Silver Gong, with a majestic look. He rarely looked stern and

nodded:

"A wonderful duel, Xu Qi'an, you have a good talent, don't let the court down for your cultivation."

Xu Qi'an answered fluently: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your cultivation. I will do my best until my death."

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded with satisfaction and walked side by side with Luo Yuheng towards the temple.

Empty verbal praise, no actual expression...... Xu Qi'an looked at the backs of the two and

curled his lips.

When the two could no longer be seen, Chu Yuanzhen said: "Brother Xu, wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."

After that, he turned around and went to the quiet room.

A few minutes later, the door of the quiet room opened, and Chu Yuanzhen said loudly: "Brother Xu, come in and have some tea."

Xu Qi'an stepped into the threshold and saw Chu Yuanzhen sitting at the table, wearing a moon-white robe, and the blue shirt with broken sleeves disappeared.

"Hey, where did Brother Chu get the clothes? Where is the blue shirt?" Xu Qi'an looked around pretentiously.

"I have a storage magic weapon." Chu Yuanzhen poured him a cup of tea and explained

gently.

.... This, I want to say next: Wow, Brother Chu is really amazing, is it the magic of the world in the sleeve! How can you be so honest as you, bah, you don't give me a chance at all. More honest than Li Miaozhen! Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, and asked without changing his face: "Can you show it to me?"

Chu Yuanzhen shook his head: "The senior who gave me the magic weapon once told me that I

can't show it to others easily."

Rejecting people is also refusing openly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Qi'an said regretfully.

Taoist Master Jinlian also told him the corresponding warning, mainly to guard against the Taoist priests of the Earth Sect. After all, the Earth Sect is a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. Although it split many years ago, its foundation is still very deep.

Don't be careless.

"Brother Chu is not a student of Yunlu Academy, right?" Xu Qian'an asked.

"I studied at Yunlu Academy, and later went to the Imperial College." Chu Yuanzhen did not

hide anything and exhaled: "When I was young, I was full of ambition and wanted to sell my talents to the emperor. I knew that the students of Yunlu Academy were not valued, so I left the academy and studied at the Imperial College."

"Then why did you resign later?"

"Because I am a useless scholar, and learning literature can't save Dafeng, so I simply resigned and became a commoner, traveling around the world with a sword." Chu Yuanzhen

sighed.

I know a guy who thought that studying medicine could not save the country, so he went to write... Xu Qi'an slapped the table and cheered: "Cool!"

No wonder Chu Yuanzhen just bowed lightly when he saw Emperor Yuan Jing, without saying hello... He noticed this detail. Now that he connected it, the one who really disappointed Chu Yuanzhen was this emperor who was obsessed with practicing Taoism.

The two drank tea and chatted, and it was Chu Yuanzhen who was talking, telling Xu Qi'an about his experiences during his years of travel.

"The northern barbarians have only a million people, while my Dafeng, a large state, has a population of tens of millions, but for thousands of years, the barbarians have always been a concern for my Dafeng. Do you know why?

"Because the northern barbarians are the bloodline of ancient gods and demons."

"Ancient gods and demons?" Xu Qi'an was puzzled.

"It is said that when the world was first created, a group of gods and demons who moved

mountains and filled the sea, picked stars and took the moon were born, and later they were extinct. The northern barbarians are called the descendants of gods and demons, and it is not groundless. They are born with strong bodies and can lift tripods. From time to time, babies with atavism are born in the tribe. Scales grow on their bodies, a single horn grows on their foreheads, a giant tail of a python grows, and they are two meters tall three years after birth... Various phenomena are confirming this statement.

"Based on these phenomena, the historians of Dafeng speculated that there must be an era

when gods and demons were active during the period of ignorance. In that era, humans were

as weak as ants and could only rely on gods and demons to survive, which is why the northern

barbarians are now.

"And we are the human race that rose later."

No, don't gods and demons have reproductive isolation from humans... Xu Qian'an asked

while arguing in his heart: "I suspect it is a hybrid of humans and demons, not gods and demons. After all, the northern barbarians and the northern demons are allies." Chu Yuanzhen pondered for a long time about this question, and said: "Regarding the

existence of gods and demons, I have heard a saying that the Gu God sleeping in the abyss in

the southern border is the god and demon that survived from ancient times, and is also the only god and demon."

Is the Gu God an ancient god and demon? You can ask No. 5 about this question... Xu Qian'an suddenly had an idea, "So in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the northern and southern barbarians formed an alliance?"

"This is a good idea. We only know that the northern and southern barbarians have always maintained a relatively friendly relationship. It's just that there is a Dafeng in the middle, and they are all coveting this piece of pancake, so they are natural allies, but it may also be that the blood of gods and demons allows them to maintain a relatively friendly relationship." Chu Yuanzhen said excitedly: "If the historian knew this idea, he would be very excited."

The conversation continued.

"Crossing the territory of the northern barbarians, going north is the polar region, where it is

so cold that people can freeze from the inside out. But there are still traces of life. I have seen

a strange race with a human head and a fish body. They are intelligent, but they cannot speak human language and can communicate through gestures.

"There are mostly females in their tribe. Often one male is assigned to multiple females to

make them pregnant. In addition to mating, males don't have to do anything else, and hunting is left to females."

I am very envious... Xu Qian'an said.

"But because of overwork, males often do not live more than 20 years, and the offspring they

give birth to are still mostly females."

So, boys should keep themselves clean and protect themselves, and not let women be

greedy... Xu Qian'an said.

"Every sixty years, they will face a crisis of genocide, because all the males are dead, and no

one can make females pregnant... It happened that year that I went to the northern extreme."

Xu Qian'an was shocked: "Then you succeeded in making the female pregnant?"

"Puff..."

Chu Yuanzhen spurted out a mouthful of tea, spraying it on Xu Qian'an's face. "Why do you have such a guess?" Chu Yuanzhen asked in shock while handing over a

handkerchief.

"....Please continue." Xu Qian'an waved his hand and refused to answer the question.

"That year happened to be the year when the males of their race became extinct. In order to

reproduce the race again, some females will transform into males and bravely bear the burden of reproducing the race.

"The queen of the race will take the lead in changing her gender, which is her obligation. After

the queen becomes king, she will recruit concubines and call all her daughters into her own

harem." ..... I don't know how to complain about it, what should I do?! Xu Qian'an sighed: "The magic of creation is amazing."

After chatting for another quarter of an hour, Chu Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Don't just

listen to me. Brother Xu's name is well-known in the capital. Your glorious deeds must be

talked about in restaurants and teahouses.

"Tell Chu about those cases."

"This is a long story..." Xu Qian'an sat up straight and said:

"Then I will start with the tax silver case. At that time, my second uncle was involved in the

tax silver theft case. He knew that his life was coming to an end and harmed others. After I

learned about this, I said to my second uncle: Don't panic, uncle, this case is full of loopholes. In my nephew's eyes, it's just a trick. I can solve it with one stick of incense..."

"But I have to admit that I was indeed young and frivolous at that time, and I underestimated

the heroes of the world."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Chu Yuanzhen became interested.

"It took me two sticks of incense to solve the tax silver case."

Xu Qi'an started from the tax silver case and continued to talk about the Concubine Fu case.

Chu Yuanzhen held the teacup and listened attentively without drinking a single sip.

He frowned when he heard the doubts. After Xu Qi'an told him the inside story, he suddenly understood and smiled. "Brother Xu is a god at solving cases. I admire you."

Chu Yuanzhen's heart moved and he thought of Mr. Xu's cousin No. 3. He had previously

guessed that No. 3 was related to the Qingqi Chongxiao of the Sub-Saint Temple. He thought that Taoist Jinlian saw the specialness of No. 3 and gave him the fragment of the Earth Book. Later, he learned about No. 3's cousin Xu Qi'an and thought that this boy was also amazing.

Taoist Jinlian gave the fragment of the Earth Book to his cousin on the surface, but in fact he

had the idea of brothers taking it all.

Now that he has seen Xu Qi'an's ability and talent, he is more certain of this guess.

"Taoist Jinlian is indeed a shrewd man."

At this moment, Chu Yuanzhen suddenly felt a palpitation, realizing that the fragment holder

had sent a message, and immediately said: "I'm going to the toilet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qi'an, who was sitting opposite him, almost spoke at the

same time: "I'm going to the toilet." Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The two were silent for a while, and Xu Qi'an said calmly: "Brother Chu, please go first."

Chu Yuanzhen nodded, stood up and left the quiet room. He estimated that the Tiandihui members' message transmission would not be finished for a while.

If Xu Qiyan went to the toilet first and returned soon, it would be bad if he ran into them.

After the footsteps gradually faded away, Xu Qiyan took out the jade mirror and checked the message transmission.

[Five: My money was cheated, what should I do?]

This is really an expected and reasonable thing... Xu Qiyan's mouth twitched. Considering his

identity as a dead man, he did not send a letter to ask.

After waiting for a few seconds, he saw Chu Yuanzhen's reply: [Four: What happened? How

was the money cheated?]

[Six: No. 5, where are you now, how far are you from the capital, how much money was

cheated? If there is no place to eat, see if there is a temple nearby and go there to beg for

alms.]

Puff... Xu Qiyan covered his mouth and almost laughed out loud.

It has always been the monks who beg for alms. How would the monks feel if No. 5 went to the

temple to beg for alms?

[Two: It's okay to be cheated of money, but it's fine if people are not cheated... Your tribe is

really something. How can you let a little girl come all the way to Dafeng? Don't you know to send an elder to accompany her?]

[One: Remember not to do anything that violates the laws of Dafeng.] [Nine: Hey, No. 5, if it's not far from Southern Xinjiang, you should go back. It's dark and the road is slippery, and the world is complicated. ]

Everyone is worried about No. 5... Xu Qian'an touched the mirror several times with his fingers, and then retracted them. He felt so uncomfortable and wanted to say something.
