Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 6 The first murder

I have been reborn by taking over another body. Could it be that the remaining soul of the giant snake is also going to take over my body?
Zhou Ping's face was full of shock, but after a long while, it seemed as if nothing had happened, but his body was getting hotter and hotter.

The giant snake's remaining soul was not trying to take over another body; it had not yet developed this skill.

The giant snake's soul knew it was going to die, so it gave its remaining spiritual power to Zhou Ping.

Because Zhou Ping was the only one who did not eat its flesh and blood.

The giant snake's residual soul value is not high. Its idea is very simple. Since it is going to die, it will help those who come after it, just like that skeleton helped me.

"what!"

Zhou Ping felt the heat in his body and knew he needed an outlet to vent, so he punched the ground.

There was a palm-sized stone on the ground, but it was smashed into pieces in an instant by Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping was frightened by the power of his own punch.

“Is this what it feels like to have spiritual energy in your body?”

One punch can smash a palm-sized stone into pieces. If the force of this punch lands on a person, it would probably kill him instantly!

The hardness of human flesh is far inferior to that of stone.

Zhou Ping clenched his fists and stretched his legs.

"Go away!"

Zhou Ping did a standing long jump and jumped two meters high!
After this jump, Zhou Ping felt like he was flying!

“The strength of my hands, feet and body has increased.”

In addition to the strength in his hands and feet, Zhou Ping could also feel that his five senses had become stronger.

In the dark, Zhou Ping could barely see things, but now he could see things as if it were daytime.

In addition to his eyesight, his hearing also became stronger.

He could hear the regular creaking of the bed in a house not far from him.

The cultivation system in this world is from grade ten to grade one.

Each level improvement will allow the body to accommodate more spiritual energy, resulting in a qualitative leap in the body.

Zhou Ping heard from veteran escorts that in the escort agency with hundreds of people, the head of the Yan family was of the ninth rank, there were six of them of the tenth rank, and there were many who were just one step away from becoming the first rank, as many as forty or fifty of them.

Zhou Ping's spiritual energy is now perfect, but it has not yet reached the tenth level. He is just a step away from reaching the first level.

"Finally, I have the power to protect myself in this chaotic world."

Zhou Ping knew that with his current strength he could rank among the top in the escort agency.

"So hot!"

"It may be that the giant snake's residual soul has too much spiritual energy, and my body can't bear it."

Zhou Ping now has too much spiritual energy, but it has not yet been upgraded to the tenth level, so he feels hot.

After realizing this, Zhou Ping began to swing his sword in the open space.

Once, twice, three times.
Two hours later, it was daybreak and some villagers began to get up.

Zhou Ping also put away his knife.

During these two hours, Zhou Ping kept hacking and slashing, and only then did he calm down the heat in his heart.

"Erhu, after drinking the snake soup yesterday, did you break through to the tenth level?"

"I don't have a tenth rank, but I'm very upset."

"There is too much spiritual energy and I can't consume it. I guess I have to go to a brothel to release some spiritual energy at night."

Several veteran escorts were chatting with each other. They had already achieved perfect spiritual energy, but had never broken through to the tenth level.

To some extent, Zhou Ping is now on the same level as these veteran bodyguards.

After the escort team was packed up, Uncle Bo set off with the agency's veterans and novices.

There were still more than a dozen trucks of medicinal materials, and the atmosphere along the way was particularly relaxed.

For the experienced escorts, this short distance does not pose any pressure.

For the rookies, there is nothing to be afraid of as they have the protection of the experienced escorts.

"not good!"

Halfway up the mountain road, Uncle Bo's expression suddenly changed.

The dart teams suddenly became nervous.

The experienced escorts quickly drew their swords and looked around vigilantly.

"Uncle Lame, what happened? Is there an ambush?"

An escort asked.

"It's not an ambush. I forgot my sewing kit in the village."

Uncle Lame said with a serious face. Although the sewing kit is not worth much, it has a very important meaning to him.

"Uncle Lame, I'll go get it back for you."

"I'm going, I'm going!"

All the escorts, no matter they were novices or veterans, were scrambling to return to Yaowang Village.

Uncle Bo is not only a tenth-rank official, but also the financial manager of the escort agency. There are only benefits and no harm in currying favor with Uncle Bo.

"Zhou Ping, go ahead. You are familiar with this mountain road, so it will be faster. Besides, you are familiar with the villagers, so they won't make things difficult for you."

Uncle Lame said with a gloomy face.

"Okay, Uncle Lame, I'll go."

On the mountain road, Uncle Bo continued to lead the convoy forward, but he felt a little annoyed.

"Village chief, besides the medicinal herbs, why are there a few women in your car?"

Uncle Lame asked casually. The escort agency's mission was to escort more than a dozen carts of medicinal materials, but there was an empty cart with seven or eight women sitting in it.

The village chief looked at the woman in the empty car. He felt a little embarrassed at first. After hesitating for a while, he explained the reason.

It turned out that in recent times, there were more and more refugees and bandits in the mountains.

The medicinal herbs in the village were guarded by the escort agency. Especially after Uncle Lame once killed someone with a stone, the refugees and bandits in the mountains never dared to cause trouble for the escort agency again.

But these vagrant bandits would go to the village to steal things.

What’s even more abominable is that a couple encountered three robbers when they went down the mountain to purchase supplies. The three robbers even insulted the woman in front of her husband.

This made the mountain people afraid to go down the mountain, and they only dared to follow the escort team's car down the mountain.

After the village chief finished speaking, he rubbed his hands, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, the mission of the escort agency is to escort medicinal materials, not people, and the village chief was afraid that the escort agency would increase the price.

"What is Zhou Ping's cultivation level?"

Uncle Lame asked with a frown.

"I probably can't feel the spiritual energy yet."

Said a rookie who is familiar with Zhou Ping.

"Erhu, go pick up Zhou Ping next time. I feel a little uneasy."

"Yes, Uncle Lame."

Erhu is a burly man who has reached the state of perfect spiritual energy. He is just one step away from reaching the tenth level. He is also experienced in escorting escorts and has led a team on long-distance missions alone.

Two tigers rode horses, one of them leaving a trail of dust.

Not long after, Erhu saw a horse, which belonged to the escort agency.

There are only horses, no people.

Did something unexpected happen to Zhou Ping?
Erhu rode his horse at full speed, rounded an intersection, and then saw a half-body on the ground.

"Not Zhou Ping."

"He was killed with one strike and cut off the opponent's body. At the very least, he must be at the level of perfect spiritual energy, about the same as me."

Erhu felt alarmed, fearing that there might be an expert like him here.

I thought I was just here to pick someone up, but who would have thought I would encounter such a difficult situation.

"I should have brought someone else with me!"

Erhu felt a little regretful. Just based on the power of this one knife, Erhu could see that the opponent was also a good hand!

"Zhou Ping, please don't die."

Zhou Ping was at another corner, vomiting violently. Next to him was a man with his head chopped off.

Just as Uncle Bo worried, after Zhou Ping got the sewing kit dropped by Uncle Bo, he encountered three robbers who were lying in ambush on his way back.

These three robbers usually lurk on the mountain road. When they have nothing to do, they go down the mountain to steal some food. If they see anyone who is alone, they will rob them of their money and rape them.

The three of them saw the escort team of more than a dozen people, so they naturally didn't have the courage to rob. They thought there was no business, but when they saw Zhou Ping walking back, they came up with the idea of ​​killing him and robbing him.

If Zhou Ping had met these three people yesterday, he would have definitely used the teleportation skill to return to his room instantly.

But, this is today.

Zhou Ping, who had perfected his spiritual energy, tried to fight with the other party, also wanting to test his strength with perfect spiritual energy. Unexpectedly, the three people were defeated like chickens and dogs.

Zhou Ping did not take the initiative to attack, he was purely on the defensive.

However, he was full of spiritual energy and had great strength. With just a slight swing, he cut off the opponent's weapon and killed him.

In the end, two were killed and one escaped.

Zhou Ping sighed: People with spiritual energy are no longer human species.

However, Zhou Ping has not yet recovered psychologically.

His previous life had killed people, but Zhou Ping hadn’t. In his previous life, Zhou Ping had never even killed a chicken.

Looking at the red and white things on the ground, Zhou Ping couldn't bear it and vomited.

"Zhou Ping, you're okay, that's great."

Zhou Ping stood up with a cry of surprise. He knew Erhu and knew that he was a veteran of the escort agency.

"Did you kill this man?"

Erhu asked while looking at the corpse on the ground.

Zhou Ping hesitated slightly.

"No."

"If you didn't kill him, then who did?"

"The man was carrying three knives, and when he saw the robbers surrounding me, he killed them."

"Did you meet a master? That's really lucky. Did he leave his name?"

"Well, he said his name is Zuo Qianhu."

Erhu did not doubt Zhou Ping's words. He felt that Zhou Ping might be able to kill two people, but it was impossible to kill two people so easily.

Especially when he saw Zhou Ping vomiting, Erhu believed Zhou Ping's words even more.

"This kid is lucky to be saved by a hero!"

Erhu didn't know that Zhou Ping had not only reached the great perfection of spiritual energy, but also had been standing in the stance for a year and practiced swordsmanship every night.

Standing still also made Zhou Ping’s waist strength become very strong.

Amazing waist strength! And I haven't used it yet.

However, what Zhou Ping didn't know was that there were many thousand households in the Wei Dynasty, and many of them had the surname Zuo, but there was only one thousand householder with the surname Zuo.
