Night.

Lu An yawned, slowly got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and suddenly heard the neighing of a war horse in front of him, followed by the sound of horses' hooves, and then the sound faded away.

"It's so late, and you still have to go out? It seems that the matter of those two people is very big and troublesome, so it's better not to get involved, and save yourself from getting caught up when the time comes." Lu An muttered, and then took out the black round stone, which looked very cold in his hand, and when he glanced at it, this thing looked very eye-catching.

"What the hell is this thing, it doesn't feel like an ordinary stone, it always feels like there's a strange aura, weird, Tooth Moon. Lu An muttered, and then directly shouted Yayue.

Yayue instantly rushed out from the side and landed, very elegant, looking at Lu An with a puzzled expression.

Lu An handed the stone over and let it smell it, "How is it? Do you know what it is? Can you eat it?"

Yayue sniffed twice, looked disgusted, and screamed.

"No, it seems to be just a special stone. Lu An muttered.

Immediately went back to the room, and saw that Wei Yang was still writing bitterly, and Lu An lay directly on the bed and narrowed.

Following.

Before dawn, Lu An got up early, went out to find a place where no one was, pulled out the cold blood, and a cold feeling surged directly from his hands, and the whole person instantly became energetic.

The chill on the sword kept pouring up on his body, but a warmth in the sea of spiritual consciousness was also constantly pouring out, helping Lu An resist this biting cold.

Although he could still feel this chill, Lu An's idea of flexibly using the Cold Blood Sword became stronger and stronger.

After setting off from Qufu City, Lu An, as usual, took out the Cold Blood Sword and was about to condense his physique, when a warm current suddenly emerged in the sea of spiritual knowledge, directly dispelling part of the chill in his hand, this discovery really made Lu An excited for a long time.

After researching it, I found that this warmth may be related to Suzaku, automatic cold, and this type of behavior also occurred when I fought with Liang Hanshui before, of course, Suzaku was forced at that time.

Last time, the sea of spiritual consciousness almost collapsed, and after repairing it, Lu An felt a big difference, first of all, the current sea of spiritual consciousness is amazing, how big it is, Lu An really hasn't studied it carefully, anyway, it is several times larger than before, and it is almost impossible to see at a glance, and the most bizarre thing is that it itself is still slowly expanding, extending outward.

The other is the Vermilion Bird, which is different from before, more and more like the real thing, when Lu An woke up, the hairy feather stripes on the Vermilion Bird looked unusually clear, but there was still an illusory feeling.

But after this period of time, it has grown up a lot, become fatter, and it feels like it is real, with skin, flesh and hair, especially those eyes, which are getting brighter and brighter, and even the pupils are extraordinarily clear.

Now the Suzaku is no longer shrunk into a clump like before, always falling into a deep sleep, but now it is flying around in the sea of spiritual consciousness every day, very pleasant, and when tired, it will lie on the ground and take a nap, or just take care of its feathers there.

Lu An sometimes even wondered if there was really a Vermilion Bird living in his sea of spiritual sense, and not just a remnant soul.

It was only when I saw that the feathers dropped by the Suzaku turned into a red breath that I realized that it was not real.

Now the self in the sea of spiritual consciousness is finally decent, no longer as simple as before, formless and shapeless, and now his appearance and clothing are exactly the same.

This huge change had to remind Lu An of what Fan Fatzi said, it is very beneficial, it is really beneficial.

Although he didn't know what this change meant, Lu An now felt that these two hundred spirit crystal essences didn't seem to be a loss, and whether they made money or not would have to be figured out later.

But now it brings the most intuitive benefit, that is, the time that Lu An uses cold blood has greatly increased.

Lu An has tried, he can hold on for three minutes without hard support, and the time is gradually increasing, before the hard support was only thirty seconds, and now it has increased several times.

This amount of time is enough for Lu An, if the other party can't be solved during this time, it is useless to give more time.

Lu An felt a biting cold in his hands, and his brows immediately wrinkled tightly, and then he immediately put back the Cold Blood Sword, exhaled lightly, and a smile appeared on his face, finding that today was a few more seconds than before.

Although it is not much, if you can increase it by one second every day, and accumulate over time, sooner or later you will be able to use the Cold Blood Sword freely.

Put the cold blood on his back again, and then took out the hilt of the sword, and as soon as he started his hand, the momentum of the whole person changed instantly, and an invisible sword qi instantly diffused, and Lu An's clothes suddenly became windless.

Looking ahead, Lu An's whole person was unusually focused.

Out of the sword.

Horizontal split.

No wind, no blade, no shadow.

As the hilt of the sword slowly slided, the weeds in front of it were gently caressed, as if there was really a sword slowly moving the grass.

Since coming out of the craftsman city, in the past half a year, Lu An has held it and practiced tens of thousands of times.

Finally, not long ago, Lu An found a difference, in the past, Lu An just assumed that this was a sword and practiced, but he felt a little wrong when he practiced.

After the sword was released, there was really a sword wind, although it was very weak, and even the grass was constantly cut, but it did exist.

The hilt of the sword seems to have condensed a sword body out of thin air, but now it is extremely weak and has not yet become a real sword blade.

However, this shadowless blade can only appear when Lu An is extremely focused, and it cannot appear all the time, which also makes Lu An feel very inexplicable, and he has never understood what the reason is.

But Lu An realized that this thing was definitely a treasure, and it was an extremely precious treasure, lying in the dark corner of the craftsman city for so many years, and putting it together with so many fragments of sword skills, it was definitely not an ordinary thing, it was very likely to be much more precious than the cold blood sword on his back, but he wouldn't use it yet.

But Lu An doesn't have much now, just a lot of time, and he will talk about it slowly.

Thinking of this, Lu An was glad for this choice at that time, if he chose something else, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life, smiled and raised the hilt of the sword, shook it, and the red silk on the hilt that was so tattered that it turned black suddenly floated up with the breeze.

Lu An glanced at it, and sighed regretfully, it was very stylish but it seemed a little ugly, if only this red silk was a little longer.

Then putting away the hilt of the sword, Lu An stretched and began to walk back.

"Childe, get up so early?" said hello with a smile, carrying a large bag of vegetables in his hand.

"Have you bought all the food so early?" Lu An responded.

Lao Gao laughed twice and entered the house, and shouted, "Wait and eat noodles." ”

Lu An answered, and then prepared to go into the house to wake the two up.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that Li Li had already gotten up, still holding a pen in his hand, and was thinking about something there, while Wei Yang was still holding the quilt and snoring.

"Sir, woke up so early today?" Lu An teased.

Li Li nodded, "I'm old, I can't sleep if I want to, and I woke up as soon as my son went out." ”

"Sir, is he practicing calligraphy with a pen early in the morning?" Lu An said with admiration.

Li Li smiled and replied: "At my age, this character is basically like this, and I don't think I can practice anything anymore, and I don't take the pen because I didn't have some ideas before, and I was inspired by my son, and I want to write it down now, and show it to Yang'er in the future, so I'm thinking about what the name is." ”

Lu An smiled when he heard this, and took a closer look, "It's been so long since I've been out, and you haven't even thought of a name, yo?

Li Lishun covered the word with his hand, and replied a little shyly: "Son, don't make fun of the old man, haha, don't be in a hurry, think slowly." ”

After speaking, he directly called Wei Yang up.

Wei Yang, who was sleeping in a daze, yawned five times in a row, and it took a long time to recover, and then he got dressed slowly and was pushed by Li Li to freshen up.

After tossing for a long time, when Wei Yang finished freshening up, he heard Lao Gao shouting there to eat noodles, Wei Yang instantly became energetic, and suddenly ran in the first place.

Halfway through the meal, Wei Yang suddenly paused and asked suspiciously, "What about those generals yesterday? Why didn't you see them?"

"I left last night, and you were so serious about your writing that you didn't hear a sound. Lu An replied.

"Then I'm not afraid, eat slowly, or I'm afraid that the man from yesterday will come and steal my noodles." Wei Yang breathed a big sigh of relief.

When Li Li heard this, he was immediately a little displeased, and scolded, "How do you talk? Eat noodles well, no big or small." ”

Wei Yang pouted at Li Li, who was eating noodles with his head down, and shook his head again, with an expression of inadequacy.

Lu An glanced at him and directly rewarded a brain jump, "Such an oily tone?"

After taking such a beating, Wei Yang immediately became honest and obediently ate noodles.

"Lao Gao, if we get to Shangqiu, how long will it take?" Li Li, who finished eating noodles, chatted directly with Lao Gao.

"It's probably only ten days, if you are in a hurry and ride a horse, it is estimated that it will take less than two days to arrive. Lao Gao replied.

"I'm so old that I can't even rush if I want to. Li Li laughed at himself.

Lao Gao laughed and said, "That's okay, then take your time, there are many small towns to rest on the next part of the road, and you can basically meet one or two small towns a day." ”

When Li Li heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, "That's very good." ”

"Qufu City is a border city, so starting from there, starting from the territory of Dazhou, there will be more and more small towns along the way, as long as you follow the main road, this road is not hard. Lao Gao continued to explain.

Then the two peers chatted for a while, and Li Li also heard a lot of good news from Lao Gao's mouth.

Da Zhou has a great help for those students who want to take the entrance examination, and the food and accommodation are all-inclusive during the examination process, if they are admitted, then the food, clothing and housing are all in the school, basically no money is spent, and there will be a small subsidy every year.

Secondly, the status of the scholars of the Great Zhou is extremely high, which may be related to their long-standing atmosphere, no matter who sees the scholars, they are polite, of course, the readers also speak by their talents, the higher the talent, the higher the status, therefore, there are many poor nobles in the Great Zhou.

Students in the future university can also enter Taixue if they are able.

Da Zhou's ultimate academy Taixue, can even be called the Dragon Gate, as long as you can enter, the future of a four-grade doctor is basically a sure thing.

The Great Zhou attaches great importance to learning the word "one word", and the three major dynasties in the north, the attitude of the Great Zhou towards scholars can be said to be unique, and it is not even weaker than that of cultivating immortals.

After learning about these circumstances, Li Li was more confident about this study tour, and he looked at Wei Yang with more expectations.

After the three of them finished breakfast, they set off.

Along.

Yang Xing is still boxing vigorously, meticulous and presentable.

Li Li also let go of his mind and no longer cared about Wei Yang's boxing practice, he had been thinking about words along the way, either frowning or showing his face, anyway, he was immersed in his own world.

Lu An saw that these two people were doing their own things seriously, and then he also took out the hilt of his sword, looking for a feeling as he walked.

In this way, several people unconsciously walked into the evening, and on this day, the three of them did not even say a word, and it was the first time in this long time.

"It's getting late, so let's spend the night in the town ahead, right?" Li Li said, looking at the town not far away.

Lu An put away the hilt of his sword and nodded.

Just as the three of them were walking towards the town, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind them, and there were very many of them.

Lu An hurriedly glanced back, smoke and dust were everywhere, and a group of cavalry in the distance seemed to be chasing a person.

Without looking closely, he quickly pulled Li Li and Wei Yang to the side of the road, so as not to be affected by them.

Then he looked behind him, the person who fled frantically was unkempt, covered in blood, and looked very embarrassed, but from a distance, he felt a little familiar, the cavalry behind him should be the same group of people as he met last night, but he didn't know if Fang Jian was in it.

There was still some distance between the man and the cavalry behind him, but the distance between the two was gradually getting closer, and the speed of the man was getting slower and slower, one ran with his legs, the other chased with his horse, and it was only a matter of time before he was overtaken.

Lu An stood aside and looked at it coldly, without the slightest idea of wanting to get involved, but he also made basic preparations in case of accidents.

"Stop him!"

At this time, the group of strange soldiers also noticed Lu An and the three of them, and began to shout loudly, Lu An knew that it was Fang Jian as soon as he heard the voice, but he had no intention of taking the initiative to help.

After seeing Lu An and the others, the man immediately changed his route and rushed directly towards Lu An and the others.

At this time, Lu An saw the face clearly, and it turned out to be one of the two people he met that night.

"What a coincidence!" Lu An couldn't help but curse secretly, and the two of them actually met.

Lu An asked Li Li and Wei Yang to retreat a distance, and he took a few steps forward, although he didn't know why the man ran towards him, but in this case, Lu An could only make a move, otherwise it would be a little too much.

But the man's speed became slower and slower, and he even began to stumble a little, but he still came firmly in the direction of Lu An, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu An's face was cold, and he was ready, and as soon as the man approached, he planned to subdue him.

But the man seemed to be really unable to run, and his pace had already floated, and at this time Lu An realized that the man had been seriously injured, and there were several wounds on his body that were bleeding non-stop.

When he was more than ten meters away from Lu An, the man finally couldn't stand anymore, but he still crawled towards Lu An, Lu quietly watched this inexplicable scene, did not retreat, and did not step forward.

Fang Jian was also about to catch up at this time, and shouted from time to time, "Stop him", "Beware".

The man climbed to a position two meters away from Lu An, and finally couldn't crawl anymore, his eyes drooped, looking at Lu An, panting heavily, his face was full of exhaustion, but after two reliefs, his mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but his mouth was full of hoarse gasps, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

Lu An looked at the man on the ground in confusion.

After hearing the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer behind him, the man suddenly became anxious, kept repeating something, and stretched out his right hand vigorously in the direction of Lu An, as if he wanted to hand over something to Lu An.

Seeing that Lu An was still so indifferent, the man suddenly despaired, his mouth kept muttering something, his right hand also hung down weakly, and his clenched right hand slowly opened weakly, revealing a white stone.

When Lu An saw this stone, his face was shocked, and he immediately remembered the black stone on his body, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart, so he immediately wanted to hear what the person was saying, but Fang Jian had already arrived at this time.

The man heard the sound of dismounting, raised his head weakly, looked at Lu An, and his lips moved again, over and over again.

Fang Jian stepped forward at this time, squatted down to take a look, shook the person again, then picked up the white stone, snorted coldly, and then two people stepped forward and carried the person away.

"What a coincidence! I met Brother An again, didn't I frighten you?" Fang Jian looked happy.

Lu An nodded solemnly.

"Also, I'm going to be scared if I were to be scared, such a thing crawling to my side, covered in blood, hey, it's a little scary to think about. After Fang Jian finished speaking, he was still shuddering, and then he was amused by himself again, and laughed.

But seeing that Lu An still had a serious face, his laughter stopped abruptly, and he shrugged helplessly.

"By the way, did he say anything just now?" Fang Jian suddenly asked.

Lu An shook his head, "He doesn't know how long he has been chased by you, he is exhausted when he runs here, where is the strength to speak, he wants to speak, but he can't say it, it's too late to breathe." ”

Fang Jian thought about it, checked the white stone in his hand, and said with a smile: "After so many days, I caught one, and I don't know where the other one is, alas." ”

Lu An nodded, and asked with a smile, "My lord is so happy, what is the stone in your hand?"

"It's a treasure anyway, I don't know what it is, I just know that it has to be found, and it doesn't matter if people live or die. Fang Jian brushed the stone in his hand and replied with a smile.

Lu An sighed and said lightly, "In this way, no wonder he wanted to hand this thing to me, but fortunately I didn't take it." ”

"That's, if you want to take it, then it's troublesome, okay, you guys should hurry up and go, the boy surnamed Shang, we'll meet again next time." Fang Jian said with a smile at Wei Yang.

Wei Yang was taken aback and quickly hid behind Li Li.

Lu An smiled slightly, then thanked him, and took the two of them away.

"My lord, are they really okay? It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? I've encountered it so many times, and this time it's happened. Lao Pizi asked suspiciously.

Fang Jian punched him and scolded with a smile: "Fate, what can you do, just find this thing, clean it up, there is still one person, continue to look for it." ”
