C254 Two Chapters in One in Shu

"Is that true?" Zheng Wuxie's hand that was reaching out for the Chinese rhubarb umbrella stopped in mid air, and he turned his head with some difficulty to look at Zhao Qi.

Zhao QIu still looked as if he didn't care about what I said, "You can do it. Actually, it's not that big of a deal. We have to be brave and sacrifice ourselves on this road. If I were you, I would definitely do it!" "I'm telling you, I'm not generous at all. If you want to study it, then hurry up. Otherwise, I might change my mind!"

Zheng Wuxie was about to cry. He looked at Zhao QIu, his eyes filled with hope to hear the answer he had been hoping for, but he was destined to be disappointed.

"I'm going all out!" Zheng Wuxie clenched his teeth, made an expression as if he was looking at death, and continued to extend his hand towards the Chinese rhubarb umbrella lying on the tree. However, he had been paying attention to Zhao QIu from the corner of his eyes the entire time, hoping to find even the slightest bit of unwillingness from him. He would feel much safer this way.

"Bro, aren't you really trying to scare me!" Just as his hand was about to make contact with the Chinese rhubarb umbrella, Zheng Wuxie stopped once again and wailed in pain towards Zhao Qiping and Mu Yurou. )))

"I say you! You want to see what else you want me to say! "Then I'll tell you now, it's okay, I was just lying to you. Okay, take a look!" Zhao QIu retracted the silver threads, and turned around as he said this to Zheng Wuxie with some helplessness.

Zheng Wuxie gritted his teeth as he retracted his hand, "It would be weird if I believed you, but now you're lying to me!"

"I say you! Hey, I can't say anything about you! "If we don't research it, we can continue on our journey. With this turtle's crawling speed, even if we run out of supplies, we won't be able to reach there!" Zhao Qi didn't say anything more to Zheng Wuxie, and immediately packed his stuff to urge us to leave.

The rest of the things that we carried with us could only last us one day at the most. During this period of time, Fan Cunhu had to hunt quite a few times before the supplies that we carried with us were barely sufficient.

Actually, the scenery of the mountain was just like that. The people outside wanted to enter the mountain to enjoy the natural scenery, but who knew how many people would immediately regret after entering the mountain? Looking from afar, it was indeed very beautiful. However, when one was in it, one would be unable to feel the majestic aura and beautiful scenery from afar. Maybe it was just like what the Lotus Flower Man Zhou Dunyi had said.

We arrived at the White Seedling Tribe on the afternoon of the third day, and even before we entered the village, we were already at least four or five times bigger than the Wutong stronghold. Standing outside the stronghold, I could almost feel the completely different atmosphere inside, as if it was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"There has always been only one way for the white seedlings to go in and out. This is a calabash shaped valley, and the area at the back is actually even larger. Let's go in first." As he spoke, he strode towards the entrance.

"Stop!" What are you doing? " An arrow was stabbed into the ground a meter in front of him, and two strong men jumped off from the trees to the left and right. Their faces were dyed black, like the camouflage soldiers who fought in the jungle.

Zhao QIu didn't say anything to the two hulks. He took out a identity token and tossed it to one of them. After he finished reading it, the other hulk's expression softened and he threw his identity card back at him.

"What do they do?" The brawny guy on the left looked at us, who were standing behind Zhao QIu. His tone wasn't as serious as before.

"You guys are really kind, there's no need for me to tell you all this. Alright, hurry up and get out of the way, I need to find my teacher!" Zhao QIu wasn't the least bit polite. His tone of voice could even be said to be somewhat unreasonable. This made the man on the right want to scold him angrily, while the one on the left shook his head.

"Since it's not convenient to say so, let's not ask. After entering, you are not allowed to disturb our common people. Also, the curfew at night starts at midnight. Only after the crowing of chickens can we leave. Go in!" After exchanging a few words with us, the two of them stepped aside to make way for us.

"This thing sure makes me think that I have returned to the ancient times." Zheng Wuxie muttered to us, "And there's even a curfew. Is this a military ban? "It's going to be real."

"What do you mean by making it look real? This guy's actions are actually real!" As far as I know, the curfew was forced as well. When we first arrived here, there would be people dying at night, and once we died, it would be a huge area. The people from wuzhong are almost treating this place as a special place to settle their grudges, making the people from White Seedling worry and worry. Actually, who did he offend this time? It's hard to hear, and we should understand it better in a humanitarian spirit. "

"Yo!" These words are really quite fresh. Isn't this the same Zhao Qiujiu that I know? " I taunted him, I taunted him.

"That must be me. The Junior Master of the generation, Zhao QIu, will be the real deal!" Zhao QIu seemed to be unable to hear my sarcastic tone and smacked his chest, feeling pleased with himself.

"Ya ya ya!" Who is this? Our long-lost Junior Brother Zhao is finally willing to appear! " Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded, and five people stopped in front of us, blocking our way.

The person speaking was a young man with a vulgar face. He was about 1.6m tall and wore a set of black clothes. He was also wearing a black cloak. The large hat covered his head and it seemed as if his entire body had turned black.

"I was wondering what it was that called out to me, so it's senior brother Lucky. It's been a long time since we last met, but he seems to have grown taller. Is he 1.61 meters?" "Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh …" Zhao QIu narrowed his eyes and refused to show any weakness in his response. When the little guy on my shoulder saw Lucky, he ground his teeth and snorted angrily at them. Bad person, turtle egg! " The little guy was cursing me, and I immediately realized that there must be a story behind it.

Actually, to the short man, especially the male short man, what they hated the most was not for the other party to greet his ancestors but because of his height. This was an irrefutable wound! If Zhao QIu had asked about his ancestors, he would have confidently retorted and scolded him. However, when Zhao QIu used this tone of affirmation as well as some surprise to say the truth about his height, the little man no longer had the courage to retort or defend himself.

He could not possibly say to Zhao Qixu, "I want to test 1.6 meters higher. If you don't believe me, let's test it out!" It was even more impossible to say it out of the blue, "I'm a good 1.75 meters tall, I don't believe that we can measure it!" Not to mention the fact that the people around him, apart from a few behind him, bent down to match his height, did not have the courage to open their mouths just in the presence of the four of us, the lowest of the four, who were more than half his head taller. Furthermore, even if he retreated 10,000 steps, saying that he was 1.7 meters, then what would happen if Zhao QIu took out a soft ruler to measure it?

"Junior Brother Zhao, are you provoking me?!" I understand what kind of anger he must be in at this moment. He might be wishing that he could just bite Zhao Qi to death.

"You can't fight amongst yourselves, and how could I offend Senior Brother Gui? I'm just truly surprised that you seem to have grown taller. If you think I'm lying, then I'll use a soft ruler to measure you, right? I didn't lie to you, really! " His face was full of smiles, and right now, there were already many people gathered around, holding benches, preparing to watch a show. Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he should be a young man from a different place.

"A lot of people used to make fun of my height, and then they all died." Jilly was trying her best to calm herself down. He looked at Zhao QIu and said something cool. The four lackeys behind him also started to berate Zhao QIu.

"Zhao QIu, how can you say that! Can you speak? "

"Shameless, I think we should go inside and receive punishment!"

"Zhao Qi Jiu, apologize to Senior Disciple Gui immediately. It's fine if you don't greet us, as long as you stand in front of us, but what's the purpose of going against us in such a manner?" Don't think that you're the only one who has a master. If this matter were to be leaked, even the Third Martial Aunt wouldn't be able to protect you! "

"How dare a fellow who just walked in dare to be so arrogant. He truly doesn't know his place!"

"Pfft!" My four senior brothers, which one of you heard that I'm the opposite of Senior Brother Geely? Senior Brother Geely, you have to be fair. When I said that you've grown up, they actually said that I'm talking in opposition. Could it be that the four Seniors have always wished for Senior Brother Geely to grow taller? " Zhao QIu's mouth became even more venomous and tricky. The little man standing right in front was extremely lucky. Just by looking at his trembling shoulders, one could tell how much he was trying to suppress his anger.

"Zhao Qi Jiu, don't provoke our fellow sect members here! "Senior brother, I didn't mean that …" This guy seemed to have low IQ, hearing Zhao QIu's dirty words, he couldn't help but straighten his body. This straightening up didn't matter, the most important thing was whether he was dead or alive, and now he took another step forward. This time, it was better to be standing next to Jilly than Jilly, even talking to Jilly while looking down at him, which caused Jilly's expression to turn even uglier.

"Idiot!" Geely growled under her breath, and the big man immediately realized that something was wrong. He quickly bent down again to maintain the same height as Geely before retreating.

"Zhao Qi Jiu!" Zhao QIu, hmph, let's wait and see. Since you came back, then we can have a good talk. Just you wait! Let's go! " Gilly swung her arm and turned the cloak around angrily.

"Senior brother, we've made a mistake, we should move forward …" When he turned around, the big man's voice sounded again, and what greeted him was a furious roll of Gilly's.

"Geely, you're just running away with your tail between your legs? "Ridiculous! Everyone, let's see if it's true or not!" The onlookers started to clamor, and the crowd immediately burst into even louder laughter. As for Gilly, the speed at which they left was even faster.

"Bro, you're amazing! Let's be friends!" Another person shouted at Zhao QIu.

"Go back and drink milk with your mother. What qualifications do you have to be my friend? Scram!" Zhao QIu didn't seem to be afraid of offending people at all. His answer to that person's question was extremely vicious, he turned his head towards us and said, "Qi Qiao, leave this place first!" As he spoke, he ignored the clamoring fellows and pushed his way through the crowd.

"Mother, I've always felt that my words were too venomous. I didn't expect that there would be such a heaven above the human world. Seventh or Ninth Brother, I truly admire you. My admiration for you is like the waters of the Yangtze River, unstoppable like the Yellow River flowing over the Yellow River …" Zheng Wuxie flattered Zhao Qianyu like he was flattering him, no one knew what she was up to.

"I don't know if Qi Qiao told you, but if he didn't, then I'll tell you. If he did, then I'll say it again to help you deepen your impression. However, Zheng Wuxie did not have the slightest intention to be angry, rather, he was smiling from ear to ear. This made me have to suspect if this fellow had some sort of mental illness, and was perhaps born to be a masochist.

"But I'm not talking about you, Ol 'Nine. It's fine that your seniors don't want to deal with you, but why do you seem to be afraid of offending others?" I didn't name anyone, but as soon as it was over, everyone knew who it was.

"What good intentions do you think they have? You can't be polite to those people. They thought you were weak and could be bullied, but you were the one who was hard enough to make them behave! wuzhong, hmph! " Zhao QIu sneered. " In the beginning, I was the same as you. I always felt that the people here in the mountains were all simple and honest people, but who would have thought that they were completely different from us!

"It seems that my knowledge is still lacking!" Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, Zhao QIu's definition of a scumbag was a little too harsh. It was a dialect of the Central Region, which meant that a person was born with a scum.

The stronghold was extremely lively. Compared to the Wutong Stronghold, it was many times more prosperous. Along the way, there were even two small markets where many people gathered together to exchange for things they needed. Of course, the Miao Family didn't seem to have many people inside. The ones who came in most were those from other places. Usually, they would be able to make the most effective identification based on their clothing.

This place was just as Zhao QIu had said, a gourd-shaped valley. The area at the back was much larger than the area in front of us. When we arrived at the back of the valley, this bigger place was much more peaceful than the other places we had passed.

If the first part of the building is full of vitality, then the place behind us is really lifeless. All the bamboo houses are of similar height, only the third floor has a steeple, and in the southeast corner, there is a group of bamboo houses, which are at least six big bamboo buildings that are connected together. At the entrance, there is an iron block made from vinegar wood, and a fire is burning in the pot.

"What are you doing?" Another team of patrolling soldiers came over. A few men in white clothing stood in front of us. Although their voices were stern, they didn't seem to be against us. However, to my surprise, Zhao Qi Jiu looked at these people with a strange expression on his face.

Zhao QIu once again took out his identity token and threw it to those people, saying, "Of course it's to go in and rest. Otherwise, what else could I have done?"

The few guys who were fine with their attitude earlier did not look too good when they saw Zhao Qiujiu's identity token. The one in the lead snorted, but he did not make things difficult for us.

He tossed his identity token to Zhao Qijiu and said, "You look a little unfamiliar. You're not allowed to make a ruckus inside. Don't wander around outside if you have nothing to do. Let's go." While saying that, a few guys in white robes stepped aside and watched us leave.

"Something doesn't seem right. What is going on?" Zheng Wuxie curiously looked at Zhao QIu, and I looked at him as well. This made people a little confused, why is it that just by looking at Zhao QIu's identity plate, I could tell that something was wrong.

Zhao QIu shrugged his shoulders and said, "What else could it be? It's a force that is at odds with the Corpse Chasing Branch!" It's the life gate of the wuzhong's Wu Shan, a group of lunatics who, even if they die, clamor to pursue some Heavenly Dao. They are all lunatics. "

"Isn't chasing after the heavens' law the work of the sects!?" Why are there so many new students? " Just by looking at the tip of the iceberg, I already have a rather strong feeling towards wuzhong's so-called powers. This seems to make me feel like I'm in a chaotic world where heroes gather, I simply can't feel the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

"The Humane Sect pursues the peace and tranquility of the soul and is not something that those crazy people can compare with. If I leave you in a place with a group of people talking about the Heavenly Dao all day long, I estimate that in less than three days, you will become a lunatic just like those family members. Destroying people and surviving in the Heavenly Dao is most likely because of them!" Zhao QIu chattered on for a long time, but the last part he said was two points which made my eyes light up.

"The product of the guild that Teacher Zhu created?" I asked Zhao Jiu. Based on what he said, this conjecture of his is really possible. This made me a little excited. Of course, this was sufficient proof that no matter how faint or calm a person was, there would always be a raging flame of gossip burning in his heart, and he yearned to uncover secrets that were different from those in the Grand Stream.

"I heard that Teacher Zhu is a disciple of the Life Sect." "I don't know if it's true or not, but I occasionally hear them discussing this matter with someone, saying that Teacher Zhu is their disciple and they have ample evidence to prove it."

"I have really given those historians a ruthless slap on the face!" I cheerfully replied, "However, I seem to know a little why these powers from the wuzhong would be so repulsed outside of our mountain. It's not wise to underestimate them and allow them to treat us with respect."

"What do you mean?" Zheng Wuxie was also very interested, this place is very big, Zhao Qi Jiu was the one who led the way, we talked as we walked.

"Think about it, how crazy is Teacher Zhu's theory of keeping the heavens calm and extinguishing the desire of others? If he really pushed his idea forward, then something big would happen! He walked out from the Gate of Life, which is a power of the wuzhong, don't you think? "

"You're completely bullshitting!" Zhao Que didn't say a word, but Zheng Wuxie was the first to shout, "This set of theories seems reasonable, but the existence of it by chance is way too great! "It's all a bunch of nonsense."

"That's why I said there was no need to underestimate him!" I glared at Zheng Wuxie and asked Zhao QIu, "Old Nine, then tell me about your Deadqi. How do you usually chase away corpses? "Are you free to say no?"

"What's so inconvenient about that? There's no taboo on this point, so just say it." Zhao Qinguang identified the path and said after a moment of silence, "Actually, chasing corpses …" "The most commonly used method is to dismember a dead person and put them in a bamboo basket, covering them with a black cloth …"

"Alright, no need to say anymore!" I waved my hand to stop Zhao Qijiu. Just dismembering the dead body was enough to provide me with what I wanted.

I looked at Zheng Wuxie and said, "See what I said? But what are we talking about outside the mountain? No matter what happens when you are alive, you will be buried safely after your death! Who could handle dismemberment? This is a huge disrespect, Ninth Brother, you say no! "

"I also feel that dismembering a corpse is just a piece of crap, so I am currently researching new corpse chasing techniques. Perhaps this is a complete innovation for the Deadqi, if they were to enter the mortal world, it would be more acceptable. This... It can also be considered as my little contribution to the Deadqi. "

"Dismember your body, if those old men outside the mountain find out, they will definitely use their sabers to chase you all down the world!" Zheng Wuxie smacked his lips, "We really cannot allow the wuzhong's power to enter society, it's too crazy, too bloody, too yellow is too violent!"

"Hng hng!" It agreed with Zheng Wuxie's point of view and said, "That's right, that's right."

"I'm going to turn you into an idiot!" Smiling, I reached out and gave him a hat that he had put up.

"A completely new technique for chasing corpses? I didn't know you were a genius. " Zheng Wuxie heard this and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Since ancient times, innovation had always been the hardest thing to do, especially if one wanted to overturn what one knew and create new ones. This was simply breaking the mental shackles that made it even harder to throw away old things without being affected by them.

"That's right!" Who am I? Little Heavenly Master! " Then he raised his head and stopped in an alley. He said, "This is it. Let's go in. Ai, this time, I'm going to be nagged at. My head hurts!"

"Zhao Qi Jiu!" You still have the guts to come back like this! First stand there and receive your punishment, you have no manners at all, and you think my Deadqi is owned by your house! " All of a sudden, an exceptionally strict scolding sound entered our ears. As we raised our heads to look, we saw a black-cloaked man walking towards us in the alleyway, with several people following him.
