When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

"You will understand it in the future. Maybe you will meet each other soon. Then..." Yang Chong said with a smile. The collision between Yan Lingji and Jing Wei would probably be very interesting. Of course, the premise is that he can live well and enjoy such a scene.

"It's so annoying to be so mysterious." Yan Lingji snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

"She is not you. You only flirt but don't give. But my killer wife is different. Although she doesn't flirt, she really gives. Besides, you haven't slept in the bed for a long time. It's late now, go to bed quickly!" Yang Chong urged.

"You are such a shameless man, but you really care about me. It's just that something seems wrong." Yan Lingji's eyes were wide open, and she didn't look sleepy at all.

"What's wrong?" Yang Chong asked.

"You are urging me to go to bed. Are you planning to do something after I fall asleep?" Yan Lingji said vigilantly, but her vigilance was so false. It was more like some kind of meaningful invitation than a warning.

"Although it's cold now, I don't want to play with fire." Yang Chong explained solemnly.

"Actually, it's not impossible to play with fire." While Yan Lingji was speaking, a little fire man had already appeared in her palm. On her slender hand, she was dragging the little fire man, through which her figure could be vaguely seen.

But Yang Chong had no mood to appreciate her. Yan Lingji was only concerned with setting fires and never cared about putting them out. Besides, a few words of exchange could be considered a joke, but chattering without knowing the purpose was just bootlicking.

Although licking Yan Lingji is not a shameful thing, Yang Chong is now under a sword hanging over his head and has no time to care about these things.

It was not convenient for him to practice during the day, so how could he be willing to waste time at night?

Looking at Yang Chong who was immersed in the state of cultivation, Yan Lingji pursed her lips lightly, clenched her palm, and the flame man disappeared in her palm: He is also a weirdo, he is still a child! But, he seems to know me very well, is it just my illusion? It shouldn't be, is there anyone in this world who really understands me? Maybe there is, but it can't be him, we just met!

Don't lie to me, otherwise I will be sad, and the consequences of my sadness will be very serious.

Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong thoughtfully. She followed Yang Chong back, on the one hand because Yang Chong actually saved her, and on the other hand because the deal Yang Chong proposed was one she could not refuse. Of course, there was another, very small reason. She did not hate Yang Chong that much. Things like liking each other are often unreasonable and come from intuition.

"Is this freedom? But freedom is so lonely!" Yan Lingji lay on the bed that belonged to Yang Chong, staring blankly at the curtain. Her hands subconsciously stretched upwards, as if she wanted to grab the curtain, but how could she grab it?

This world is too big for her, so big that she doesn’t know where to place herself.

"But for now, it's not bad, let's just leave it like this." Yan Lingji muttered to herself and closed her eyes. There were many beds, but there was no bed on which she could sleep peacefully. Yang Chong's bed could barely be used.

In two shallow breaths, Yang Chong had completely fallen into a state of cultivation. Before, he had used the trick of using the death energy to cultivate the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. Now, what he needed to cultivate was the general principles. After all, only when the Nine Yin true energy became stronger, could his body accommodate more death energy and make the Nine Yin White Bone Claw more powerful.

You know, although the Nine Yin White Bone Claw is not weak, it may not be useful against a top-tier killer. What's more, Luo Wang has more than just one top-tier killer.

While practicing the Nine Yin General Principles, Yang Chong only felt a wisp of pure true energy flowing through his Dantian meridians. It was an indescribable feeling. Wherever the true energy flowed, the meridians that had been damaged by the death energy were slowly repaired. The chaotic and restless death energy diffused in the Dantian meridians seemed to have found a backbone, and its circulation became less frantic and more rhythmic.

The Nine Yin Principles have endless uses.

Chapter 24 The wind started at the end of Qingping

In this dark night, under the endless starry sky, some people are sleeping soundly, some are practicing, and some are burning with anger in fear.

"Investigate, we must find out who rescued that evil woman." In the icy cave where there was no longer a trace of warmth, Captain Zhang looked at the broken crystal cage and the water on the ground that had not yet completely dried up. His hair and beard were standing on end, and his eyes were scanning the many soldiers who were his prey.

"Captain, we have found the missing brothers." After a moment of silence, several soldiers came hurriedly from outside, carrying several charred bodies in their hands.

"Fire? Was it really that evil woman who did it?" Captain Zhang felt a chill in his heart when he saw the miserable state of his personal soldiers.

When the Kingdom of Han sent a large army to conquer the Baiyue, he was already a colonel. In that war, he made many contributions, but because he had no one above him, he remained a colonel for so many years and had never been promoted.

It was then that he realized that as a military commander, military merit was certainly a capital for promotion, but if there was no one above him, everything would be in vain. So, at the end of the war, he did something that now seemed very bold to him. In the chaos, he captured a witch, hid the girl secretly, and imprisoned her in this cave.

Now seven years have passed and the time for harvest has almost come, but the girl who has grown into a young girl has been rescued, and his years of plan has come to nothing.

And this is not the most troublesome thing. The more troublesome thing is that the witch was rescued. Who rescued her? Could it be the remnants of Baiyue? Thinking of the various strange methods of those Baiyue people, Captain Zhang felt a chill in his heart.

If it is a head-on confrontation, the remnants of the Baiyue people who had long since perished are of course nothing. Under the powerful bows and crossbows, tough armor and sharp blades, no matter how weird you are, you will not be able to escape death. But if you act as a killer and do something secret, the methods of the Baiyue people will be hard to guard against.

Especially since the Baiyue witch was the one wanted by the higher-ups, and he had hidden her away secretly, it was not difficult to imagine what would be the outcome for him once the higher-ups knew about it.

Captain Zhang, who had no way out, became more and more frightened the more he thought about it. He didn't know his superior very well, but the little he knew was terrifying enough. For a moment, his anger ignited by fear became even stronger. He hated himself for being so careless. The harvest season was about to come, but the man escaped. Thinking of the revenge and punishment from above that might come at any time, he trembled with fear.

"Sir, that evil woman was born with strange signs. As long as we investigate, we will be able to find her. It is extremely difficult for someone like her to hide her tracks." A man dressed as a scholar said to Captain Zhang.

"Don't act rashly." Captain Zhang's heart moved, but he immediately rejected the other party's suggestion. Now, compared to the revenge from the witch, he was more afraid of the accountability from his superiors.

Whether it was General Ji or Marquis Xueyi, killing him would be no more troublesome than crushing an ant. He could not let these two know that he had secretly hidden a Baiyue witch.

"Let's go. We have never been here before." Captain Zhang made up his mind after a little thought. This was the only way for now.

"Yes."

Under the starlight, a group of more than a hundred armored soldiers quickly moved through the mountains and forests, heading towards Yangdi City. They hid their tracks and erased any traces they left behind, as if they had never been there.

But is that possible?

Of course not.

Because now there are two pairs of eyes watching them from above.

"This captain seems to have many secrets." In the cold wind, a young man was playing with a white bird feather between his fingers, saying calmly with a hint of amusement.

The night did not block his sight, and the cold wind did not blow away his style. He was wearing a single garment dotted with white feathers, had a slender and powerful body, and a delicate pretty face. Such a person should have been a young master of a noble family, but the cold light that flashed from time to time in his warm eyes told the world that he was by no means a gentle boy.

"Everyone has their own secrets, it's just that Captain Zhang has a very wild heart." Next to the young man in white was a young man in black. He had a thin and long face, but was quite handsome, and his handsomeness was even more eerie and evil.

"So should we report to our superiors?" asked the young man in white.

"We just need to do our own thing. As for using our brains, that is not what we should do." said the young man in black.

"We are just tools?" The young man in white raised his eyebrows, and had some opinions about the words of his friend who was both his teacher and friend.

"Yes, we are just tools. When tools like us have our own ideas, they will be close to death." said the young man in black.

"Really? Although we will bring death wherever we go, death is just something in our hands. I don't believe that death will come to me." The young man in white said confidently.

"You!" The young man in black shook his head and smiled. Facing the young man's innocence, there was no need to say much. Time would teach them the principles of survival.

"As long as we are fast enough." The young man in white smiled faintly. This is probably what it means to be full of vigor and vitality.

Of course, he had the confidence to do so. He had played those powerful people in South Korea in the palm of his hand time and time again. Seeing those high-ranking officials who were usually high and mighty behave in such an ugly manner before their death, and even be worse than ordinary people, it was difficult for him to have any awe for this world.

"No matter how fast we run, we can't escape the night above our heads!" said the young man in black.

"Why should we run away? Isn't it our best decoration?" The young man in white pointed to the sky, which was dotted with stars and pitch black.

"Let's go. Those farmers have been very active recently. Who knows what their intentions are." said the young man in black.

"Farmers? They can run rampant on both sides of the Huai River, but if they want to do the same in Korea, I will let them know that the night sky of Korea can only belong to us." said the young man in white.

He is Bai Feng, the top killer of the most powerful killer organization in South Korea, and the dark sword in the hands of General Ji Wuye, the strongest general in South Korea for a hundred years.

"Bai Feng, although every strong person has a confident mentality, a confident person is not necessarily a strong person." The young man in black, Mo Ya, reminded.

"I have not only confidence, but also these hands and arm blades." Bai Feng stretched out his arms, and in the starlight, there was a cold light flashing, and a cold blade was looming.

"Let's go, it's time for us to do our own thing." Mo Ya said lightly.

Chapter 25 Death

The cold winter is good for Tibetans.

In the following time, Yan Lingji kept hiding in Yang Chong's room.

Yan Lingji, who had been a prisoner for seven years, seemed to have no objection to being a stay-at-home girl for a few more years. She ate well and slept well. But poor Jiang Nu was always affected by Yan Lingji's illusion, which made Yang Chong unable to bear it any longer.

But Yang Chong also knew that Yan Lingji's approach was the best. After all, the secret between the two of them could not be known to a third person. As for Jiang Nu, she would just have to suffer for the time being.

During this period, Yang Chong practiced the Nine Yin General Principles and the Nine Yin White Bone Claw at night, and practiced the Heart Destroying Palm openly during the day. In this way, time passed quickly and fulfillingly. In the blink of an eye, it was already deep winter, and spring was not far away.

But suddenly one day, Old Man Li asked Yang Chong to find him.

When Yang Chong saw Old Man Li again in the dim room, he couldn't help but be shocked. Compared with Old Man Li a few days ago, Old Man Li now looked even older. It seemed that just a few days had taken away his last bit of energy.

"I'm going to die." Old man Li, who had never trimmed his hair and beard, now tidied himself up, but he no longer had the vitality he once had when he spoke.

"Winter is really not a good season." Yang Chong sighed. During his practice of the Nine Yin Scriptures, he became more and more sensitive to a person's qi. Therefore, he was able to sense the lingering deathly aura that permeated Old Man Li at this time.

"As long as I can survive this winter, I will have another year to live, but I can't make it through. It's really frustrating." Old man Li said with a wry smile.

The cold winter is the most difficult and dangerous thing for an old person. It will consume an old person's potential until it is dried up.

"Do you have any last words?" Yang Chong asked. Since Old Man Li came to him at this time, this was the only thing he could think of.

"What's in that cave?" Old man Li grabbed Yang Chong's arm and asked. His strength was so great that he didn't seem like a dying man at all.

"There is a person imprisoned inside." Yang Chong replied.

"As expected, as expected, can you rescue that man?" Old Man Li said excitedly.

All he wanted in his life was to live an honest life, but even such a simple request became a luxury before that incident. How could he not hate the person who caused his tragedy? Now he is dying, and if he dies with this hatred, he will not be able to die in peace.

"Rescued." There was no need for Yang Chong to hide anything from the dying person. Besides, the cave was a secret told to him by old man Li.

"Then I can feel at ease. I'll wait for him to kill those people, so I won't be lonely on the ghost road." Old man Li laughed weakly as he spoke. Years of grudges could be avenged one day, which should be the best thing for this dying man.

"You'd better make arrangements for your funeral arrangements. If you have any last wishes, tell them as soon as possible, otherwise you won't even have the chance to speak of them when you're really gone." Yang Chong urged.

"I'm a dying man and I'm not in a hurry, so why should you be in a hurry?" Old man Li said unhappily.

But old man Li only had that much temper. If he didn't have much time left and wanted to make arrangements for his funeral, why would he ask someone to find Yang Chong? In Xiliu Village, Yang Chong was the only one he could count on.

"After I die, just prepare a two-inch thin coffin for me. I've been miserable enough in my life, and I need to be a little dignified after my death." Old man Li was honest this time, and his tone was earnest.

"This is a simple matter." Yang Chong nodded. He could afford the money for a coffin.

"Also, prepare some delicious food for me, chicken, duck, fish or meat will do." Old man Li added.

"Are you going to trick me again? A dying man still has an appetite to eat?" Yang Chong asked suspiciously. He had long experienced the unscrupulousness of old man Li. If he had not gotten the secret of Yan Lingji from him, Yang Chong would have strangled him to death.

"It's okay to just smell it. I can only trick you again this time." This time, Old Man Li did not quibble, but admitted it openly.

"Okay, I'll let you trick me once more." Considering that Old Man Li was about to die, Yang Chong didn't bother to make a fuss about it. Besides, after all, Old Man Li enriched his childhood.

"There is one more thing." Old Man Li said again.

"Are you done yet?" Yang Chong acted annoyed. Wasn't it that the old man Li's last wishes were a bit too many?

"The last one, the last one, I promise it's the last one." Old man Li said embarrassedly. His physical weakness seemed to make him mentally fragile as well. He was no longer as shameless as before.

"Go ahead."

"Please wait until I die before leaving. Death is too scary. I don't want to die alone." Old man Li looked at Yang Chong, with an unprecedented pleading look in his eyes.

"Okay." Yang Chong nodded. He seemed to have understood Old Man Li's feelings.

"Thank you very much." Old man Li grinned, his attitude more sincere than ever.

In a moment of silence, the dim and cold room fell into silence. Only a lamp was swaying, bringing some light to this shabby room that was cleaned up for the last time by Old Man Li.

Yang Chong's body was hidden in a place where no lights illuminated. He quietly looked at the old man Li who had fallen into a coma. His old face was lifeless, and the skin on his exposed palms was dry and wrinkled. The lifeless body also lost its support, and the skin collapsed.

Yang Chong had never been so close to natural death, and he was depressed for a while.

Death is the fate that all things in the world cannot escape. It also brings great terror. Fortunately, some people can face it calmly, but it is also fair. No matter whether you are a king, a general, or a commoner, it treats everyone equally. In the end, the ending is the same. Although the ending is the same, the process is not exactly the same. It is precisely because of this that this process, that is, living, becomes more meaningful. That is the meaning of life.

"Is this death?" Yang Chong smelled the scent of death while sensing the breath.

"If death is the final outcome for everyone, then how should I live and why should I live?" Yang Chong pondered.

"Who is this dying old man to you?" Just as Yang Chong was thinking about the meaning of life and death, a bright voice that should not have appeared in the current environment came from behind him.

A hot body appeared behind Yang Chong, the distance was so close that Yang Chong could feel the heat falling on his face.

"He once held a dream of mine." Yang Chong said.

Chapter 26 Burning Like a Flame

"Your dream was about an old man like this. It must be a nightmare." Yan Lingji, who had been waiting for Yang Chong to return, stretched her neck to look at the old man Li, whose breath was getting weaker and weaker. How could such a person be Yang Chong's dream? It was a bit too ridiculous.

"I was still young at that time." Yang Chong whispered.

"Tell me what you dreamed about when you were a kid." Yan Lingji put one hand on Yang Chong's shoulder and leaned closer with her aqua blue eyes, as if she didn't want to miss even a single detail. However, this kind of behavior of adding generation to the relationship...

"When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a peerless master," Yang Chong recalled.

Although he had not yet awakened the memories of his past life at that time, some things were not only in his memory, but also engraved in his blood. When he, who was only ten years old, learned that there was martial arts in this world, the desire arose immediately.

At that time, he fantasized about having some kind of adventure, or meeting a master, or a martial arts secret book, and then mastering peerless martial arts and roaming the world without fear.

With that dream in mind, Yang Chong saw Old Man Li. At that time, Old Man Li seemed different to him. The injuries on his body and the words that he occasionally inadvertently revealed were not common to ordinary people. This made him, who was in the middle of his second-year fantasy period, think that he was some kind of peerless master. The cunning Old Man Li was also happy with Yang Chong's misunderstanding. He had been pretending to be important and cheating for food and drink for so many years. Over the years, he had gained a lot of things.

From Yang Chong's narration, Yan Lingji learned the whole story.

"How stupid! You were fooled by such an old man." Yan Lingji glared fiercely at the unconscious old man Li. She did not have the good character of respecting the elderly and loving the young. This was the case with Jiang Nu before and with old man Li now.

"Actually, it's not that I was cheated. I was able to rescue you from there because I got the information from him. He was one of the craftsmen who built the prison back then." Yang Chong explained.

"So, this old guy is my benefactor?" Yan Lingji's eyes flashed with surprise.
