Chapter 49 Treasure Offering

Zeng Jianqiu smiled coldly: "Then give it a try!"

"Oh." Li Wuxiang nodded to Xue Baoping, "Go find my master and say that I caught one of his enemies."

Xue Baoping threw away the knife, stood up and left. Zeng Jianqiu looked at Li Wuxiang coldly. When he heard Xue Baoping open the courtyard door, he quickly shouted: "Come back!"

Li Wuxiang remained silent, and Zeng Jianqiu heard the courtyard door closing again. He stopped talking and just stared at Li Wuxiang, who first picked up his knife, put it in the sheath and tied it on his belt, then walked outside and hurriedly went in and out to clean up the kitchen that had been messed up just now.

After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't help but say: "Hey! Which sect are you from? You have to think about it, Zhao Qi is difficult to deal with! Do you know his methods?"

Li Wuxiang walked back into the house, picked up a rag and walked out: "That's about it. He has told me a lot about the master's sect in the past few days."

"It's much worse! You don't know what he's capable of-"

Li Wuxiang poked half of his face out of the door: "Then you can tell me now. She went to Chen's house and then came back... Oh no, Zhao Qi's kung fu is not bad, maybe less than two seconds Zhong, think about what you can say to me in two quarters of an hour, how can you save your life in Zhao Qi's hands."

Zeng Jianqiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Okay! Your heart is tougher than mine! Listen! Ordinary people have to slowly cast spells with talismans, but the Ranshan sect can do it with just a flick of the talisman hand. Don't call him Use the talisman! Moreover, he has There may be another magic weapon called Jin Tangzi, which is the treasure of their Ranshan sect. It can hide the soul and gather spiritual energy. Even if it is infused with real energy and essence, it is difficult to damage ordinary weapons. Zhao Qi Maybe he’s wearing it—”

Li Wuxiang walked through the door: "Baby? So powerful? What kind of thing is it? Can it be worn on the body? What's the use of it?"

"It is said that it looks like an undergarment made of gold thread. How do I know what its use is? I told you it is the treasure of the Ranshan Sect!"

"Oh, good. What more?"

"If there is another one, we have to adapt to the situation! Who knows what talisman he has on him? If there is another...and another...forget it, I'm in trouble! I can't make sense to you!" Zeng Jianqiu was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, " Come here and pick out my limbs!"

Li Wuxiang raised his eyebrows: "Seriously?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you can't deal with him! If you're worried, pick my hamstring first, then my right tendon, but save my left hand first, and we'll talk about it later."

Li Wuxiang drew out his sword and walked to him, squatting down: "What I wanted to ask you just now is, Zhao Qi fed me the elixirs before. Is it because those who wanted to bring down the Stove Lord needed to have sufficient spiritual energy? You can be this person and save your life temporarily. In fact, if you can make him feel that you are no longer a threat, there is no need to maim yourself. "

"The first half of what you think is right. If Zhao Qi doesn't use you, he will definitely use me. As for the second half, if I catch a Qi-refining opponent, the first thing I will do is to destroy him. How can I feel anything? No way to threaten? You don’t need to be false, I have my own way! Damn it!”

Li Wuxiang severed his left Achilles tendon with a knife.

Zeng Jianqiu gritted his teeth and stared at him: "You are really capable of doing this!"

"Ah? If you were joking just now, your joke would be too big, right? Should I continue?"

"Hurry up!"

Li Wuxiang immediately cut off the Achilles tendon of his other foot. While he was gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, he touched his ankle with his hand, and the white beards that bound him penetrated into his body.

He also cut off Zeng Jianqiu's right hand and breathed out: "What should I say now?"

"You... untie me and get out first. I'll tell you to come back later."

Li Wuxiang nodded: "Okay."

He slowly untied his white beard and held it in his hand: "Okay, call me."

Li Wuxiang walked to the door and stood down. It turns out that this thing in my body is called Golden Matang... Can it hide the soul? No wonder I survived. It's just that he knew it was a treasure, but he didn't expect that it was the "treasure of the Zhenshan Sect" of the Ranshan Sect and that it would be "given a dharma seal". Zhao Qi told him about the Dharma Tie, which was something that could prove that it was authentic to the so-called Thirty-Six Sects.

Although Zhao Qi also said that many of the thirty-six sects in the past have now declined, but even if the mountain sect declines, there are still mountain gate temples and disciples. What was Pai Zhiba doing out here? Just to "become an immortal"?

Becoming an immortal seems to be extremely difficult in this world, so difficult that even large and small sects outside the diocese think it is just wishful thinking. Why does Zhao Puppet think that he can put all his efforts into it? Isn't it because of Guang Chanzi? But in the vague cognition left by the exogenous evil, that thing doesn't seem to be a very extraordinary thing...

etc. His current state...couldn't he be what Zhao Puppet thought he was becoming an immortal? The "Qingnangxian" mentioned in Guangchanzi?

At this time, he heard Zeng Jianqiu calling him through the door: "Okay, come in."

He was full of confidence just now, but now his voice sounded weak, as if he had endured great pain. Li Wuxiang walked in and saw blood stains on the ground. He didn't know what he had just done. But he thought it must be some unique method of his, and he didn't want to ask, so he sighed: "You shouldn't use others to threaten me. Otherwise we wouldn't have to end up like this."

Zeng Jianqiu turned pale, shook his head, and handed him his left hand: "Anyway, someone is going to be unlucky, even if I am unlucky!"

Li Wuxiang picked it up and cut off the hand. After following Zeng Jianqiu's instructions, he smeared some mud from his feet onto the wound and tied it with ordinary thick hemp rope, then walked out and said loudly: "Baoping, go!"

Zeng Jianqiu leaned against the wall and laughed: "Hey, it's not unfair that I fell into your hands. But remember, if Zhao Qi is let go, it will be the end for both of us!"

Li Wuxiang also laughed: "This is the first time I have seen a hostage with such a bad temper."

…

As Li Wuxiang expected. A quarter of an hour later, he heard a soft crunch on the roof of the main house, as if someone had fallen on it.

Zeng Jianqiu was indeed right, Zhao Qi's light body skills were not as good as his. When he threw the weapons hidden in the mud in the yard, he didn't pay attention at all, but now, just like that night, he heard Zhao Qi's movements.

But he only held the knife, stood across the threshold, leaned against the door frame and stared at Zeng Jianqiu, pretending not to hear anything.

Then there were a few more soft noises on the roof, which must have been Zhao Qi pushing aside the tiles, followed by a rustling sound, which must have been him gently pushing aside the gray layer mixed with straw under the tiles. Li Wuxiang could almost imagine what Zhao Qi looked like - with a solemn face, lying on the roof, carefully looking into the house through the small gap he made.

Then there was a very slight sound of clothes shaking, and a moment later, the front yard door was pushed open. Zhao Qi carried his sword behind him, held a fly whisk in his left hand, and put his right hand behind his back, floating in.

Li Wuxiang immediately took a long breath and whispered nervously: "Master..."

Zhao Qi had no expression on his face, nodded slightly, and strode over: "The little girl from the Xue family said, have you caught someone?"

"Yes, I -" this morning

Zhao Qi waved his hand and stepped into the room, staring at Zeng Jianqiu. After looking at it for a moment, he asked, "How did you catch it?"

"This man came in when it was still dark, covered in blood, and wanted to intimidate me. But he didn't expect that I had learned some kung fu before, and I didn't expect that he was seriously injured... I I don’t know why, but Baoping subdued him in a few seconds... Ah, in the end, Baoping knocked him out with the door bolt. "

"Door bolt?" Zhao Qi smiled quickly, then straightened his face, drew out the sword from his back with a clatter, and walked to Zeng Jianqiu's side.

When he saw that the man was unconscious and his body was covered with blood and mud, he pointed the sword downward and quickly touched his ankle——

A wound opened and blood flowed again. He could tell that the injury seemed to be a new one, probably from a day or two ago. Some of it had healed, and was even mixed with mud and pus... The legs and feet were almost useless.

Zeng Jianqiu woke up.

Zhao Qi pulled his sword behind him and took two steps: "Friend, do I recognize you?"

Zeng Jianqiu spat with hatred: "Bah! Demonic way!"

"It seems you recognize me." Zhao Qi nodded, "My disciple's children said that you forced them to poison me, and then said that I did all kinds of evil? Now tell me in front of me, what have I done?"

Zeng Jianqiu glared at him: "Don't you know it yourself?! My family was killed by you. I, I, I... you are in our town, you, you... bah! Dog thieves! A pair of big and small dog thieves ! Just wait, kid, you’re going to be in trouble too! He knows magic anyway!”

OK. A clumsy-tongued idiot. Zhao Qi nodded and looked at Li Wuxiang: "What did he say?"

"He..." Zhao Qi saw Li Wuxiang's eyes wandering between him and Zeng Jianqiu, and then whispered, "Master, you said that what you did was harmful to people... He asked me to poison you, and he said that you suck people's life." ”

Zhao Qi's heart skipped a beat and he stared at Li Wuxiang: "Do you believe it?"

"If you don't believe it, I will stop listening immediately."

Zhao Qi was silent for a moment and looked at Li Wuxiang.

It's really unlucky, it's about to end, and there's such trouble. But it's also a blessing. I was already very disappointed with this disciple last night, but I didn't expect that I had misjudged him... His obedience turned out to be not because he was ruthless, but because he was loyal and filial?

After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said softly: "What a fool you are, you are living, but you think you are dead! Jiye, what he said is half right. He passed through several villages and towns along the way as a teacher, and it can indeed be regarded as attracting people." "

He saw Li Wuxiang suddenly raise his head, his eyes full of confusion: "Ah?!"

"But not for me, but for others."

Zeng Jianqiu shouted angrily: "You fart!"

Zhao Qi shook his head, walked to the bench in the house, sat down, put the sword across his knees, and smiled helplessly: "Jiye, my teacher wants to ask you, when you are busy farming in Lijiawan, what do the young people eat, the women and children? What do young and old eat?”

Li Wuxiang was stunned for a long time before he said: "We...I don't know very well, but I heard that the young and the strong should eat something good, and the old and weak women will save more rations, and...there will be more." , Hey kids, that’s about it.”

Zhao Qi nodded: "It's because the young and strong have to work in the fields. If they don't have enough to eat, they will not farm well. If the farming is not good, the harvest will not be good, and they will all starve to death. If a village and town has more old and weak people and fewer young and strong people, If you look again in a few years, you will see a miserable scene of ruins. This is because the burden is too heavy and it cannot be supported. "

"Therefore, some town leaders will ask me to do one thing - to cast spells, perform rituals, and ask gods to use the life span of the old and the weak to supplement the life span of the young and strong, and also make the children who are crying for food grow faster, so that they can grow faster. You can earn food as quickly as possible. In this way, the old and the weak may die, but more people will survive, and the town will not fall into a miserable state of decline. Do you understand this? "

If it were an ordinary lowly person, Zhao Qi would find it difficult to think clearly, and would only have an instinctive sympathy like an animal. But since his disciple was born in a noble family, there should be no need to waste words.

Sure enough, when he saw Li Wuxiang frowning slightly, he immediately let out a sigh of relief: "I understand, Master, my father once said something similar to me... When you are in power, you have to make trade-offs. No matter what you do, you can't satisfy everyone. You have to look at the big picture and the high ground."

Zeng Jianqiu's eyes widened, and he cursed hoarsely: "A pair of inhuman beasts! Especially you, this little beast! Cruel! Sooner or later it will be your turn! You, you, you!"

Zhao Qi felt relieved. In addition to feeling relieved, he was actually a little moved... He knew that he and his brothers and sisters were not the best disciples for the master, otherwise the master would not have left the mountain gate and left alone without any worries. But he never thought that he would get such a disciple one day, smart, tactful, loyal and filial... It was really a blessing from his previous life.

He let out a long sigh: "This fool does have some truth in what he said. Jiye, practitioners like you and me will inevitably encounter stronger people in the future, and in this world, only the law of the jungle is the truth. So what we have to do is not to let ourselves fall to the point of becoming weak."

"You did a very right thing today, and I am very happy. So from today on, I will teach you to practice with my heart." When he said this, he heard footsteps coming from the door. He looked up and saw that it was Xue Baoping who came back panting and stood timidly at the gate of the courtyard.

He saw Li Wuxiang looking at her again and was slightly relieved. But he opened his mouth and looked at him again.

Zhao Qi understood: "Ask whatever you want to ask."

"Master, then is she... old and weak?"

Zhao Qi smiled: "Didn't you notice that she has become more beautiful these days? I just asked her to grow up faster."

Li Wuxiang frowned: "Master, how fast can it be?"

"Oh, are you afraid that she will get old and you two won't be a good match?"

He saw Li Wuxiang's face flushed. Normally, he would have to put on a stern face and give him a good lesson, but now seeing how happy this disciple was, and remembering the reprimand he had received in the past, he softened his voice: "Before building the foundation, you know what to do, right? After building the foundation, when it comes to refining qi, you have to be alert! If you want to practice with me sincerely, you can't stay in Jinshui forever, understand?"

Li Wuxiang lowered his eyes: "I... I understand. I just..."

Humph, sentimental. But sentimentality is not necessarily a bad thing. The relationship between master and disciple is also sentiment. There is no need to leave a grudge in his heart because of such things.

After a brief thought, Zhao Qi waved to Xue Baoping: "Come here."
