Practice a low-level profession until you become an immortal and call yourself an ancestor

Chapter 101 Soul?

After coming back to his senses, Chu Changqing keenly discovered that the surrounding fog was much thicker.

It seems that the inheritance of Thunder Law has had a considerable impact on the secret realm.

Looking around, and after pondering for a moment, he condensed a bolt of lightning in his hand and blasted towards the city gate.

Boom!

There was a loud noise caused by thunder.

But the dilapidated city gate still didn't respond.

At this time, the fog became thicker.

The originally relatively loose path was now filled with mist.

Why is that?
Chu Changqing was surprised, but faced with the unknown situation, he could not make changes.

Looking up and looking at the height of the city wall, Chu Changqing decided to give it one last try.

He kicked hard and jumped up very high. With the help of the tower wall, he ran towards the top of the wall.

But unfortunately, after three steps, when he was still a few feet away from the top of the city wall, an invisible force blocked him.

It was gentle and did no harm to him.

But Chu Changqing could feel the tenacity of that force.

He can't break through.

Chu Changqing landed smoothly, sighed softly in his heart, and chose to go back.

The feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and when he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at his residence.

The days are short in winter and the nights have come.

Chu Changqing lit the candle, and the light dispersed the darkness.

Chu Changqing sat on the bed, stretched out his right hand, and adjusted his spiritual energy. "Zizi" thunder lines appeared.

Therefore, everything that just happened in the secret realm was not false.

But the strange fruit has now turned into a seed. Is it related to the inheritance he received from the Shenxiao Sect?
Chu Changqing looked at the green seeds in his left hand, which became only the size of rice grains and fell into silence.

Normally, after the alien fruit is used, it should have turned into a "rotted" state, and now it has directly become a seed. Is this the reason why the "nutrients" have been completely absorbed by it?

He tried to inject spiritual energy into it, but the seed did not change.

Apparently, something happened in the secret realm after he received the inheritance.

I recall the feeling of the heavy fog approaching just before I left.
Is it possible that this strange fruit exists in the world just to pass on the thunder method?
Chu Changqing couldn't think clearly, and wanted to ask his master, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that this strange fruit was accidentally obtained by the ancestors of the Eight-Sect Golden Lock Sword, and Wang Wenyuan probably wouldn't know much about it.

Finally, Chu Changqing had no clue for the time being, so he went out and walked towards Zhang Liao's residence.

When he arrived at Zhang Liao's place, Chu Changqing gently knocked on the door.

Soon, the door of the house was opened.

Chu Changqing smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhang Qi."

Seeing that it was Chu Changqing, Zhang Liao quickly got out of the way and bent slightly: "Changqing, come in quickly."

Chu Changqing sat down, and Zhang Liao made tea and said honorifics.

It can be seen that he is actually "fearful" towards Chu Changqing now.

Chu Changqing now has a long aura. Regardless of his realm, as soon as he stands there, he reveals his extraordinary temperament. This is an advancement in the level of life.

In addition, Zhang Liao was not particularly familiar with him, and he was seeking help from Chu Changqing, so his mentality dropped by more than one level.

It seemed a little flattering.

Chu Changqing understood this and didn't say much.

He came today and asked Zhang Liao a question.

"Mr. Zhang Qi, there's no need to be busy. I'm here mainly to learn something about Daxuan from you."

Chu Changqing went straight to the topic and stretched out his hand to motion Zhang Liaoye to sit down: "I don't know if it's convenient for you to elaborate."

Zhang Liao sat down, thought for a moment after hearing this, smiled bitterly, and then nodded: "Of course it's no problem."

"Now that our Daxuan has shown the end of its dynasty, some secrets are no longer secrets."

"If Changqing wants to know, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Chu Changqing didn't ask Zhang Daoming because he thought about it briefly after returning.

The other party is a prefect, no matter how powerful it is, it is limited.

If the other party could do, or dare to do, what Ahri said, it couldn't have been done by him alone.

Therefore, Chu Changqing asked about the current situation of the Daxuan army facing the rebels.

"Are there many rebels in Daxuan territory now?"

Zhang Liao was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Chu Changqing to ask this, but he thought about it and nodded: "Yes, very many."

"There are rebel uprisings in every state capital and every county in every province."

"Our Xinzhuang County is in a special situation, so there are no rebels."

Chu Changqing: "Then the rebel army is so powerful? Why are there constant wars and disputes in various places?"

Zhang Liao: "Some are strong and some are weak, but the vast majority of the rebels are made up of civilians and disaster victims and are not strong."

"In addition, Daxuan has severely banned martial arts since the founding of the dynasty, so there are very few decent martial arts masters among the rebels."

When Chu Changqing heard this, he thought of the rebels who passed through Xinzhuang County a few months ago.

Among them, there seemed to be many martial arts masters in the acquired realm.

What's happening here?
Normally, the treatment for a martial artist who joins the imperial court is definitely much better than joining the rebel army.

Without thinking about it, Chu Changqing asked the key question: "Then, why is the progress of the rebel armies from various places in countering the rebellion so unsatisfactory when there is such a huge disparity in strength?"

After Chu Changqing finished speaking, Zhang Liao fell into silence.

He thought for a long time and said slowly: "I don't know."

He took a breath, then raised his head and let out the trouble in his chest: "Three years ago, I was not the commander-in-chief, just an ordinary vanguard."

"At that time, I always heard my boss say that officialdom is like a drama. He cursed and complained more than once. I didn't understand. But now, I feel like I understand a little bit."

"Those people above are too weird, their thinking is too weird. They clearly say they want to serve the country and the people, but what they do at hand is the opposite of what they say."

He returned to the topic and explained to Chu Changqing: "I think it's for money."

"As long as they keep fighting, they can keep asking for military pay from the court."

When Chu Changqing heard this, he understood what was going on: "It means that in fact, the armies in various places are fully capable of quickly dealing with the rebels and ending the war, right?"

Zhang Liao was reluctant, but nodded heavily: "Yes."

Yes.

That's basically the same as what Ahri said.

These officials have no intention of quelling the war.

But was it Zhang Liao who said that they kept the war going for money, or was it like what Ah Li said, that those who became officials just wanted more people to die.

Whether it is to let the rebels die, the Daxuan army, or the people of Dawn.

As long as it's a human death, that's fine.

Chu Changqing prefers the latter.

After all, Zhang Liao was just a warrior in the Killing Camp, and his position and height were limited.

Ahri is a monster, with its instinct and nature, it can detect more things.

if so
Chu Changqing felt that not only Xinzhuang County, but also Daxuan as a whole seemed to be involved in a "conspiracy" from the upper levels.

Emperor Daxuan might be really trying to "become an immortal" at the expense of the world.

After chatting for a long time, Chu Changqing had an impression of Daxuan's current situation in his mind.

He had thought before that he could only believe five points of Ahri's words.

Now that I have talked to Zhang Liao, I feel that I can believe it [-]% of the time.

I thought I didn’t need to leave Xinzhuang County yet, but now it seems I’d better move.

Chu Changqing himself didn't care.

Mainly Master and the Wang family father and daughter.

Don't go to Huangtu County either. Finding a remote small village and living in hiding is the best solution.

Otherwise, sooner or later, the war will spread to Huangtu County.

Finally, under Chu Changqing's inquiry, Zhang Liao decided to leave the next day and head to the capital.

Chu Changqing said that he would definitely follow.

But he couldn't decide whether Shaziying would believe his words and give himself this "face" at that time.

Zhang Liao said he understood, as long as Chu Changqing went there, that would be enough.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Liao and returning home, Chu Changqing began to arrange matters for the Wang family.Discussions have been made with Wang Wenyuan.

Leave Xinzhuang County, or in other words, stay away from the chaos of the world.

Because I went to Huangtu County, where there would be stability for at most two or three years before it would be affected by the chaos.

So the best place to go is to live in seclusion.

Not to mention the hardship of life, in this world, being able to live a down-to-earth life is better than anything else.

Wang Wenyuan has no objection to this.

After discussing with Wang Wancai, Wang Wancai also agreed.

After experiencing the crises in Xinzhuang County, he thought about it.

Money is all external things, and it is actually enough to survive.

Besides, just because they went to live in seclusion didn't mean they couldn't eat or drink well. He still had a lot of money.

Just go to a nearby town with Wang Wenyuan to collect it every once in a while, and you can't get enough chicken, duck, and fish.

It’s just that there is no beautiful woman accompanying him.

Wang Wancai looked at Chu Changqing with very complicated eyes.

In less than a year, Chu Changqing has grown to a height beyond his reach.

I recall that at that time, Chu Changqing was only an actor and his status was so low.

That was also the best time for him to win over Chu Changqing and sell his favors.

But the past is the past after all, and there are not so many ifs in this world.

Finally, the day for the Wang family's departure was set.

Departing tomorrow, Wang Wenyuan will arrange the specific settlement place.

The next day, Chu Changqing sent Wang Wenyuan and his party away.

On the way, Wang Wenyuan repeatedly warned Chu Changqing to be careful.

No matter what chips those senior officials offer, don't be tempted.

Chu Changqing expressed his understanding.

He really had no intention of getting involved with the Daxuan court.

The ambition is not here.

After they disappeared at the end of the road, Chu Changqing told the five monsters through the life and death contract in his mind to protect them secretly.

In this realm, with five acquired peaks and one pseudo-innate, it is basically impossible to encounter accidents.

After the arrangements were made, Chu Changqing and Zhang Liao started to set off towards the capital.

Because they are all warriors, their cold tolerance is much higher than that of ordinary people.

They wore thicker clothes and did not prepare a carriage, hoping to go faster.

Chu Changqing planned to come back to accompany Wang Wenyuan for a few years after helping Zhang Liao to plead for mercy, and help him enter the innate world.

If Master can't make a breakthrough, then let Master take care of himself until the end of his life and completely pursue the path of immortality.

Four days later, Chu Changqing and his group arrived at a few miles outside the city of Yuzhifu.

This is the only way to the capital.

But now there is a problem before them.

In front of him, tens of thousands of rebels were camped outside Yuzhifu City.

They can't get in.

"What should we do about this, Evergreen?"

Although Zhang Liao is the general banner and has more than ten brothers following him, with Chu Changqing's presence, he is no longer in a dominant position.

Zhang Liao asked: "Do you want to take a detour?"

Chu Changqing pondered for a moment: "Let's take a detour. We are weak and there is no need to fight head-on."

After getting Chu Changqing's approval, the group planned to take a detour.

Although the detour will delay the trip for a day, it doesn't hurt.

But at this time, Chu Changqing felt a sense of peeping.

This feeling of voyeurism is very strong.

He immediately turned his eyes to the source of the peek.

In a large snowdrift, a pair of red eyes.

It's a demon.

Judging from the breath, it is a monster from the late acquired stage.

After thinking quickly in Chu Changqing's mind, he still made a sound and drove his horse away.

In fact, he could kill the peeping guy, but the noise he made would definitely disturb others.

He didn't want to make things complicated.

Go to the capital early and come back early to practice.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter any more trouble along the way.

We drove quickly and soon it was night.

The cold wind was biting, and their warriors had thick skin and thick flesh, so they were not affected much.

However, the horses under the crotch are very inconvenient to move at night and in the cold.

Even a good war horse cannot stand night travel in such extreme weather.

So they found a cave and went in to rest.

Some rocks were moved to block the entrance to the cave, and the gaps were sealed with snow and soil.

The cold wind immediately disappeared in the cave, and a bonfire was lit. It was much warmer now.

Eating simple dry food, firewood crackling.

Some people from the Killing Camp started chatting.

"General Qi, if we take this detour, it will take three days before we can return to Beijing, right?"

When Zhang Liao heard his brother's question, he was eating solid food and said vaguely: "It won't take more than a few days, and we will be here soon."

The man just now said: "I still miss the pork stewed vermicelli in the capital. Although it is also available in Xinzhuang County, the taste always feels a little wrong."

When it comes to things in life, everyone joins in the conversation and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Chu Changqing was so sensible that he didn't say anything, and simply meditated.

Now that he has stepped into Xiantian, practiced, and absorbed the true energy faster.

It was much smoother than before, but it took him longer to advance from the early stage of innate stage to the middle stage of innate stage.

Because at his current state, what he cultivates is no longer true energy.

It's that innate energy.

This requires constant polishing.

It was soon after midnight.

The cave has become quiet, and no one has chosen to sleep.

Instead, I meditate and practice, because this can protect me from the cold to a great extent and keep me alert.

Suddenly, Chu Changqing, who was practicing, heard some movement outside the cave.

He opened his eyes immediately.

Because the noise was not the sound of ordinary animals passing by.

Besides, it's freezing cold now.Where are the animals?
The other party's goal was very clear and they were heading towards the cave.

The movement was so gentle that no one except Chu Changqing noticed it.

Subtle footsteps stopped at the entrance of the cave.

Then Chu Changqing saw a wisp of black smoke eroding in from outside the cave.

Not evil.

It was a black and gray color that he had never seen before.

Then, this black and gray thing turned into a person!

Transparent people!

This is,

Soul?
