The Counterattack of the Villains

After listening to Zheng Zha's explanation, Li Chungang suddenly understood and believed a little more what he said.

Because before setting off, Xu Xiao had told him about the situation of Zheng Zha and his wife.

To sum up, they are very mysterious. Although the Beiliang spies found out their origins, there was a gap of twenty years in the middle.

They were completely missing during those twenty years, but suddenly returned home more than two years ago, and then began to travel around the country until they met Xu Fengnian outside Lingzhou City.

This information corresponds perfectly to what Zheng Zha said, which means that his words are most likely true.

The twenty-year gap was obviously because they were in that place and could not come out.

In this way, after I go there, I have to come out every twenty years, but I can stay for twenty years every time I come out.

Li Chungang was very excited, but he suddenly thought of something, frowned and said: "Seventeen years, I wonder if Lu Paoer will be reincarnated after seventeen years."

Zheng Zha said: "That makes no sense, because you love Lupao'er, not her past life or next life."

"The resurrection there is based on your memory of her, resurrecting her directly from the long river of time and space, and then bringing her from the past to the present."

"Her memory will stay at the moment of death. This she is the real her. The reincarnated person is no longer Lupao'er. Can you understand what I say?"

Li Chungang nodded and said: "I understand, you are right. After my beloved Lu Pao'er is reincarnated, she will no longer be Lu Pao'er."

After speaking, he asked extremely curiously: "What kind of place is that? Why is there such a powerful place?"

Just listening to Zheng Zha's description made Li Chungang confused. He couldn't imagine what kind of existence could do such incredible things.

Zheng Zha shook his head and said: "Before you enter there, I can't tell you everything there. After you go there, you can't tell anyone outside either."

"This is the rule there. If you violate the rules, you will pay a price, and you will pay a price every time you say something."

Li Chungang nodded slowly and asked no more questions, "Okay, then I will wait for seventeen years."

Although he is no longer a land god, it is not a problem to live for two decades. As long as he does not give up his skills and exhaust himself, he will never die within thirty years.

In the original plot, the reason why he died was because he broke through 2,600 pieces of armor on Guangling Road with one sword, which made him exhausted.

In the end, he only lived for one more year. After cultivating Jiang Ni, he died.

Zheng Zha smiled and said: "In these seventeen years, you must not only live well, but also remember every bit of her from time to time. The clearer your memory, the smoother the resurrection process will be."

A gentle smile appeared on Li Chungang's face and he said: "Not only in these seventeen years, but also in the past few decades, I have never forgotten her for a moment."

"Everything about her is very clear in my mind. For her, I will live well these seventeen years."

…

Xu Fengnian stood by the river beach for more than half an hour. It wasn't until Qingniao made dinner and called him over that he gathered his mood and came back to eat.

After Shu Sha, Lu Qiantang, Wei Shuyang, and Yu Youwei prepared their own meals, they walked away and ate aside.

There were only four people sitting at the desk next to the bonfire: Xu Fengnian, Zheng Zha, Li Chungang, and Qingniao. There were exactly four people sitting in four directions.

Xu Fengnian asked Zheng Zha strangely: "Where are Jiang Ni and Mrs. Sister-in-law?"

Zheng Zha smiled and said: "Jiang Ni finally relented and agreed to learn martial arts. Lao Li plans to accept her as his apprentice. Ali will teach Jiang Ni Kung Fu in the tent and leave some food for them."

When the blue bird heard this, he immediately took out a few empty bowls and left some food for them.

Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This girl finally figured it out."

Zheng Zha understood, looked at Xu Fengnian with a smile and said: "It seems that you asked her to read the martial arts secrets to you, and you really had this intention. Then do you know why she figured it out?"

The smile on Xu Fengnian's face got a little bigger, and he said cheerfully: "She must have said that she wanted to stab me first when I was about to die, so that I would die in her hands, right?"

Zheng Zha said funnyly: "It seems that the person who knows her best is you, but the real reason for her to relent is because after practicing martial arts well, maybe she can save your life in a critical moment in the future."

Xu Fengnian looked back at the tent belonging to Zheng Zha and Luo Li. A gentle look flashed in his eyes, and he whispered softly: "I know."

Li Chungang curled his lips and said: "You girl who talks nonsense is destined to be eaten by you in this life. I am too lazy to pay attention to you, just eat and eat."

In the tent, Luo Li sat cross-legged, looking at the wisps of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and the ginger mud pouring in from the acupoints all over her body, and she was filled with admiration.

She is truly worthy of being the heroine. In a sense, she can also be regarded as a son of the plane. This qualification and understanding really makes her jealous.

There is no foundation, but in less than an hour, he has managed to draw Qi into his body and reach the first level of Yuqing.

With this entry speed, I'm afraid even Aoba Master would have to be defeated if he came.

When she first joined the Qingyun Sect, her martial arts skills were already strong.

At that time, the inner skill she majored in was the Sacred Heart Technique, but it still took her half a day to step onto the first level of Yuqing and draw Qi into her body.

Although she later refined her true energy into spiritual power, her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and she soon broke through the Yuqing realm and reached the Shangqing realm.

But in terms of entry speed, there is no comparison with Jiang Ni.

…

After dinner, Xu Fengnian left the camp and found an open place to practice his swordplay. Zheng Zha and Li Chungang still returned to wait outside the tent.

Because it was his first time to practice, Jiang Ni was immersed in the comfort of the spiritual energy entering his body. He meditated for more than two hours, a full five hours, and finally woke up from hunger.

Seeing Jiang Ni finishing her work, Luo Li asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"

Jiang Ni covered her growling stomach and said with a grimace, "I'm so hungry. How long have I been practicing?"

Luo Li said with a mixture of laughter and laughter: "For two and a half hours, I'm asking you how it feels to practice?"

Jiang Ni smiled sheepishly and said, "It's very comfortable. My whole body feels so relaxed. I kind of like the feeling of practicing."

Luo Li nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's good. Only if you like it can you practice diligently. Let's go and eat."

When the two women walked out of the tent, they saw that it was dark outside.

Zheng Zha and Li Chungang, who were not far in front of the tent, saw the two women coming out and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

Li Chungang asked with great interest: "How was it? How was the effect of the little girl's first practice?"

Luo Li praised: "It's very good. The entry speed and training speed are several times faster than my original. I should be able to fly with a sword in less than half a year."

The first level of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao introduces Qi into the body, the second level transports spiritual energy and circulates it throughout the heavens, and the third level refines Qi and transforms it into God.

When your mental power is strong enough, you can magically drive away objects and reach the fourth level of Jade Clear Realm.

At this time, you can sacrifice your own magical flying sword, and then use the god to control the sword and fly through the sky.

With Jiang Ni's cultivation speed, it would conservatively be estimated that it would take at most half a year, or even more than five months, to reach the fourth level of Yuqing's realm of expelling objects.

Li Chungang laughed and said: "It is expected. With the best skills and the best qualifications, it is normal to have such an effect."

Jiang Ni frowned and said dissatisfied: "Smelly old man, can you stop being so nagging? I'm starving to death."

When Li Chungang heard what she said, he immediately said angrily: "Didn't you agree to become my disciple? Why do you still call me a stinky old man?"

Jiang Ni smiled slyly and said, "Have you not gone through the apprenticeship ceremony yet? You are not my master yet."

"And I don't want a sloppy master. If you want to be my master, you have to clean yourself up first."

"I..." Li Chungang was speechless and couldn't say a word.

Only the master has always disliked his disciples. How can any disciple dislike his master?

In his more than ninety years of life, he has never seen such a arrogant disciple.

But what can be done? With his qualifications, even if Lu Dongxuan was still alive, he would have to rush to recruit disciples. He has tyrannical capital.

Can't afford to offend.

Li Chungang turned around and walked towards the river with a depressed look on his face.

Seeing this, Zheng Zha asked: "Why are you going, Old Li?"

Li Chungang said without looking back: "Take a bath."

Jiang Ni said anxiously: "Smelly old man, why are you so crazy? It's still early spring, and the river water is so cold. Just boil some hot water and wash your feet first. It won't be too late to take a shower when you get to the city."

Li Chungang finally stopped, turned around and said cheerfully: "Are you concerned about me?"

Jiang Ni was as duplicitous as ever, and said arrogantly with a straight face: "I'm afraid that you will get sick from the cold and have to be taken care of by me."

"Hahahaha... ok, ok, I won't cause any trouble to you, just go and boil hot water and wash your feet, hahaha..."

Li Chungang laughed heartily and walked to the bonfire in a swaggering manner.

We rode in the same carriage together and had a lot of exchanges. Naturally, he had already figured out Jiang Ni's duplicitous character. Knowing that she really cared about him, he couldn't help but feel very good.

Zheng Zha said to Jiang Ni dumbfounded: "Have you ever seen any great astronomical expert who is afraid of cold water? Haven't you heard of the saying that the cold and heat will not invade?"

Jiang Ni's eyes lit up and he said happily: "What's the benefit of being good at martial arts? Then I have to practice hard, so that I don't have to wear so thick clothes in winter and can't move easily, and it won't be so hot in summer."

Luo Li laughed and said: "This is what you pursue after co-writing? You are really honest."

Zheng Zha followed Li Chungang to the bonfire and said, "Okay, the food is over there at the bonfire and has been kept warm for you. Let's go and eat first."

"Yeah, let's eat, eat." Jiang Ni took Luo Li's hand and followed Zheng Zha briskly.

When several people were heading towards the campfire, Xu Fengnian also finished practicing his sword and returned to the camp from the other direction.

At a glance, I saw Lu Qiantang holding a horizontal sword in his lap, sitting by the river and staring blankly at the river, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Fengnian's eyes flashed slightly and he walked over there.

When he found Xu Fengnian approaching, he stood up expressionlessly like a puppet, cupped his fists and bowed to Xu Fengnian, but said nothing and lowered his head slightly.

Xu Fengnian stared at Lu Qiantang's lifeless face and said calmly: "The last time we met, he wanted to kill me, but now he has become my bodyguard..."

Xu Fengnian didn't say the next words, but Lu Qiantang understood what he meant and said in a calm tone: "Just get used to it."

Xu Fengnian stepped forward, grasped the hilt of Lu Qiantang's left sword, gently pulled out a section, and said: "I remember it was not this sword last time."

Lu Qiantang said: "This sword is called Chixia, and it was given to me by Dazhu Kingdom."

Xu Fengnian inserted the sword back and said, "You are a scholar."

"A scholar can also use a sword."

It is true that Lu Qiantang is a scholar, but he is not a pure scholar. He also learned swordsmanship from his family since he was a child.

Xu Fengnian said with profound meaning: "The temperament of scholars is unpredictable. I don't know what day you will stab me with a sword."

Lu Qiantang said calmly: "As long as you live, Dazhu Kingdom will give my Lin family the last way to survive."

After Xu Fengnian was silent for a moment, her tone was no longer so harsh, "How is the Lin family doing now?"

Lu Qiantang finally had some mood swings. He turned around and no longer faced Xu Fengnian. A look of pain appeared on his face and he said slowly: "The house has been confiscated by King Jing'an."

There was another period of silence. After a few breaths, Xu Fengnian asked in confusion: "Then you should ask King Jing'an. What's the use of taking refuge in Xu Xiao?"

When Lu Qiantang heard this, he turned back stiffly, stared at Xu Fengnian and said harshly: "You have no idea how terrible your father is."

After saying this, he held the sword and turned away again without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xu Fengnian turned around and walked away in silence. When passing a tent, a somewhat charming voice sounded beside him: "Even if he changes his name, his surname will still be Lin."

Xu Fengnian turned around and looked, but she felt ashamed. It turned out that this was her tent. At this time, she was standing in front of the tent door with her arms folded across her chest.

He turned around and asked calmly: "What do you want to say?"

Shu Sha looked at Xu Fengnian and said seriously: "If such a person stays around, there may be trouble."

Xu Fengnian said noncommittally: "I saw the look in his eyes. He doesn't even want to take his life. It doesn't matter whether he kills this kind of person or not. His heart is already dead."

Shu Sha smiled slightly, bowed slightly respectfully and said, "Then I will take the place of the crown prince and keep an eye on him all the time."

Xu Fengnian looked at her deeply, but did not respond to her words and turned around to leave.

He could feel Shu Shi's deliberate attempt to please, but he didn't like such flattery, and was very disgusted with it.

Qingniao never took the initiative to please him, but he could treat Qingniao as his confidant.

Not to mention Zheng Zha, not only did he never do anything to please him, he never even regarded him as a person.

On weekdays, the two of them laugh, curse, tease and joke with each other. It can be said that there are no taboos.

But it is precisely because of this that Xu Fengnian regards Zheng Zha as a friend and brother, rather than a disciple of the palace.

Xu Fengnian came to the bonfire and saw Jiang Ni devouring it. He couldn't help but smile knowingly and joked: "Hey, our female sword fairy is out of seclusion."

Jiang Ni's cheeks were bulging from eating at this time. She had no time to pay attention to him, so she just rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

Xu Fengnian didn't care when he saw this, and sat down next to Zheng Zha, happily watching Jiang Ni eat.

Zheng Zha did not turn around, but just looked at the bonfire and said to Xu Fengnian: "Be careful about Shu Sha. In this trip, she, Lu Qiantang, and Ning Emei all have a purpose."

"But Ning Emei is a sincere person who only wants to take Huang Man'er back, while Lu Qiantang is a die-hard person. Apart from his obsession with saving the Lin family, he has nothing left to live for."

"Shu Sha is a caring person. She only exchanged interests with the Northern Liang Palace. If anyone else can give her more benefits, she will betray him without hesitation."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "A solid person, a die-hard person, and a thoughtful person. That's a good summary. Don't worry, I know who you can trust and who you need to be careful about."
