Chapter 16: Empty Hexagrams
"Something to do with me?"
Lu Qiming thought for a moment, and quickly thought of another possibility, and the calm smile on his face gradually turned into a bitter smile.
From the perspective of a freshman in the martial arts academy, Lu Qiming, who was born in a family, has no reason to be forced to participate in the competition for places in the ancient battlefield, but he has a second identity in Zhongwu - unlike "student", this identity requires him to fulfill his obligations.
Zhou Youcheng smiled even more happily when he saw his expression, holding the spirit fruit tea in both hands, with a well-behaved face: "It seems that our 'Teacher Lu' has finally remembered it!"
Lu Qiming touched his chin, pretended to be pensive and smiled: "Could it be that I am asked to do a certain 'level'?"
Zhou Youcheng chuckled and said, "If that's the case, it's interesting—the people who participated in the competition for places this time will definitely be wiped out and no one will be left." After a pause, she continued: "Actually, I don't know very well, Brother Lu seems to be one of the judges...... In short, it is in the list of responsible lecturers. ”
In this case, it is not unexpected. Although Lu Qiming is a newly recruited lecturer in Zhongwu, the large-scale activities among students are originally the most contributed by the new lecturers, especially in this type of competition, the results are usually obvious, and the teachers who are not responsible for them have any deep qualifications.
However, it is still early, and there are still more than two months left before the battle for the spot. In comparison, it is even more rare for Zhou Youcheng to know the list of lecturers so long in advance.
"Speaking of which," Zhou Youcheng wrapped his fingers around his hair and sighed a little embarrassedly, "The reason why I bothered to inquire about the list of evaluation teachers is because of a distant cousin. The quota of our family will not be given to him, he wants to pass the Zhongwu ......"
It's too early to say this, right? Lu Qiming laughed and said, "Youcheng wants me to release the water?"
A sly smile flashed in Zhou Youcheng's eyes, "Brother Lu finally guessed wrong this time!"
However, after saying this, she suddenly put away her smile and said seriously: "I want to ask Brother Lu to do the opposite-please Brother Lu When you meet my cousin, don't let go of the water." After a pause, the girl sighed, "I know his character. If I really go this time, I'm afraid there will be no return. ”
Lu Qiming tasted the word "this time" in the girl's language and asked: "Has the ancient battlefield changed?"
There is no doubt that there are dangers where there are great opportunities, and after exploration again and again, the danger of the ruins of the ancient battlefield has long been within the controllable range for the major families in Middle-earth. But listen to Zhou Youcheng......
"This has to start with the Qin family's divination. Zhou Youcheng said.
Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "The results of their calculations seem to never be passed on. ”
"That's right. But this time it was an exception. Zhou Youcheng said word for word: "Because they didn't get anything." ”
"Is it empty...... Lu Qiming muttered: "Is it being obscured by someone?"
Zhou Youcheng's smile was a little bitter: "I can't even judge this...... I don't think there is a need for the dignified Qin clan to lie about this. ”
"In addition to the Qin Clan's 'Empty Hexagram', the surrounding environment of the ancient battlefield has also undergone tremendous changes. ”
The Ancient Battlefield was originally a land of life and silence, as barren inside and out as its name suggests. But this time, something changed dramatically – the vegetation grew wildly, the flowers bloomed for thousands of miles, and the dried tributaries turned into aura-filled streams overnight...... The first people to see that shocking scene completely thought that they had fallen for illusion.
Although this change sounds like a good thing, there must be a demon when things go wrong—there are already too many anomalies in the ancient battlefield this time.
Zhou Youcheng's expression was in a trance, and he muttered: "I don't know how to do it lately, every time I think of that place, I feel inexplicably frightened - this is something that has never happened before." But this gratuitous feeling is impossible to convince them not to ......"
Lu Qiming listened silently. If these words are said by others, they may be timid, but if they come from Zhou Youcheng's mouth, they must be taken to heart.
He said, "In that case, you won't go this time, right?"
Zhou Youcheng nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "That's ...... What about Brother Lu?"
Lu Qiming smiled slightly and said, "I still have to go." ”
Don't look at his cultivation, it only took more than a month to reach the high level of Xiao Zhoutian - there are too many coincidences mixed in it. After Nirvana, the Feng Clan's body needed too much spiritual power, and if he continued to cultivate at a normal speed, he was still far from Da Zhou Tian.
But he didn't have time to wait any longer.
The place that is most likely to allow him to quickly reach the Great Zhou Tian is the ancient battlefield.
......
Lu Qiming first heard about the changes in the ancient battlefield during the freshman test of the Chinese martial arts.
At that time, he had just created the sword recipe "Landscape Chapter", and was about to compile it into a book and send it back to the family, and after knowing the news, he wrote a few pages of potion prescriptions suitable for preparing for the events of the ancient battlefield - that was evolved by him according to the Dan formula, and he could completely refine it with the ability of the Lu Clan's alchemist.
However, after learning that there had been a bigger change in the ancient battlefield, Lu Qiming immediately realized that the previous response was inappropriate, and it was too risky. Under the circumstance that it is expected to be full of unknown risks, for a family at the level of the Lu family, the word "stability" should take the lead.
Coincidentally, the day after Lu Qiming finished sorting out the replacement potion, he received the news-
Someone from the clan has come.
......
There are many guest houses in Zhongwu, and the one where the Lu family lives this time is at the bottom of the mountain.
Lu Qiming pushed open the courtyard door and saw a middle-aged man in brocade looking at him, with a familiar warm smile on the corner of his mouth.
A trace of joy flashed across Lu Qiming's face, and he was just about to say hello, but he saw the middle-aged man winking at him, striding forward, and punching him head-on!
This man's steps seemed to be slow and fast, and others thought that he was still in place and had not yet taken the first step, but in fact, he only pressed in front of Lu Qiming in an instant—his fist was even more flaming, and the heat swept like a storm, making all the blades of grass on the sides of the two of them withered and scorched!
Lu Qiming smiled helplessly, leaned back slightly, and didn't see what he did, and his figure flashed behind the middle-aged man in a flash.
He seemed to be about to say something, but the middle-aged man in brocade deliberately didn't give him a chance, laughed loudly, "It's good", and at the same time turned his elbow unexpectedly, and the second punch came out!
This punch is as agile as a dragon and snake, and the strange thing is that it does not lose its strength at all - in Lu Qiming's perception, the middle-aged man's punch turned into a hideous giant tiger, roaring straight at him!
Lu Clan Studies - King Kong Dragon and Tiger Fist!
The middle-aged man in brocade was attacking fiercely, but Lu Qiming was not chaotic at all. He smiled slightly, and his toes were only a little lighter, and four identical Lu Qiming appeared out of thin air, strictly surrounding the middle-aged man in the center!
A hint of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes - with his eyesight, he couldn't tell which one was the real body at all.
But it doesn't hurt. His eyebrows were raised, his fist wind suddenly turned urgent, and countless bursting fist shadows flashed in the air, and in the distance, it looked as if a person had three heads and six arms!
No matter how fast the body is, the phantom is still a phantom - in the all-pervasive fist wind, the phantom conjured up by Lu Qiming at an extreme speed dissipates one after another, and in just an instant, the middle-aged man's surroundings are empty again.
Nothing?
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and he looked up, but saw that Lu Qiming had reached dozens of meters away at some point.
Lu Qiming saluted from afar and called with a smile: "Uncle Fang." ”
He hadn't thought of it before. The person who came was Lu Huaifang, who had not left the Lu Mansion for many years.
Although Lu Huaifang has no real blood relationship with the Lu family, he has followed Lu Xingzhi since he was a child, and now he has been more than 40 years. He has long been a well-known powerhouse of the Lu family, and he is also half of Lu Qiming's teacher, not his own uncle, but he is closer than his own uncle.
As for this "long time no one to take the martial arts test first", it has been a practice for the two of them for several years.
Seeing that Lu Qiming was standing so far away, Lu Huaifang scolded with a smile: "I always don't make the first three moves - I don't know where I heard this strange rule." ”
Lu Qiming only smiled and said nothing, but the person came closer again.
"Now that the three moves have passed, it's time to get serious. Lu Huaifang raised his voice and smiled, and shouted: "Qiming, take out your knife!"
