Duan Chen decided to come late at night, in addition to not being able to stand Duan Qianrou's soft grinding and hard bubbles, he could also guess that Liu Fengchen and the others were arranged by Granny Shu to live here, and there must be another reason.

According to the various rumors that have been circulating in the royal city in the past few days, it is probably for the sake of the two countries.

In this case, he really couldn't wait until dawn to see Liu Fengchen again, because he didn't want to see that person yet.

His father, Duan Yi!

Ever since Duan Yi proposed to him to give him Duan Qianrou's place to enter Zhongzhou Academy this year, he had been completely disappointed in his father.

For the people of Xize, Duan Yi may be a good king, but for Duan Chen, Duan Yi is not a good father.

He must confirm a few things before Liu Fengchen and the others meet Duan Yi, and he must not let what happened to him reappear in his youngest Wang Mei......

Here, Liu Fengchen had just entered the house with Xiaolian, and there was a knock on the door outside.

This time, it wasn't that there were outsiders coming to visit the door, but that Xiaolian's snort woke up Cailing and Qiu Shuiyao next door before.

The two girls thought that Liu Fengchen was in trouble, so they hurriedly came over to ask.

The door opened, and the two girls saw Duan Chen in the house at a glance, and Duan Chen also saw them, and in the surprised eyes of the two women, Duan Chen greeted with a smile: "Good evening, two fairies." ”

After the daytime, Qiu Shuiyao didn't have a good impression of Duan Chen, so he asked Liu Fengchen: "Why is he here?"

"Uh~" This question made Liu Fengchen puzzled, "Why do you all know each other, what did I miss during the day?"

Duan Chen saw the dissatisfaction in the expressions of the two girls, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "During the day, Duan Mou was reckless, and he unintentionally offended the two fairies, and I ask the two fairies to forgive me!"

"In the next Duan Chen, I brought my little sister here late at night because I had something to ask Brother Liu, and I disturbed the rest of the two fairies, Duan apologizes deeply!"

"Little sister?" Qiu Shuiyao looked into the house, and sure enough, there was a girl inside, and she also had a beautiful face.

Originally, she still wanted to tell Liu Fengchen a few words and go back to the room with Cailing, but when she saw Duan Qianrou, this thought was directly strangled to death by her.

It's good that you come to me alone, and you bring a young girl with you in the middle of the night, which is a bit difficult to understand.

Qiu Shuiyao thought about it for a while, took Cailing's hand and rushed into the house, and said as she walked: "Duan Gongzi has this sincerity, we naturally can't refuse, it's just that Duan Gongzi came with a beautiful woman late at night, in order not to fall into the hands of others, you might as well let us listen to it!"

While speaking, Qiu Shuiyao glanced at Liu Fengchen a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, and looked at Liu Fengchen for a while.

But that's fine, women, it's all made of vinegar jars, if Qiu Shuiyao knows that he secretly "tryst" with the two brothers and sisters tonight and hides it from her the next day, it will be unreasonable.

Duan Chen couldn't say anything when he saw this, so he could only cast a sympathetic look at Liu Fengchen, and said in his heart, "It seems that this Liu brother will not have a good time in the future!"

Liu Fengchen smiled and handed Xiaolian to Qiu Shuiyao's hand: "Help me watch him and let him be honest." ”

Qiu Shuiyao took Xiaolian and held her in her arms, and then walked to the table with Cailing and sat down.

The conversation just now was too "profound" for Duan Qianrou, who was still young, so she didn't feel the ** smell in the room at all.

Seeing the two girls sitting beside her, Duan Qianrou said hello very politely, and then no longer cared about the looks of the two women, she stretched her neck and continued to look in the direction of the door, as if she was looking forward to the door being opened again, but unfortunately it was destined to disappoint her, because the person she wanted to see, oh no, it should be the bird! The bird she wanted to see was sleeping dimly next door at the moment, and she didn't notice anything about it here......

The sound of rain outside the house has thinned, and after an autumn rain, the traces of the day's battle have been erased.

The two chariots that stayed outside the Linghuang Pavilion had left at some point, leaving only two rows of guards on the bluestone street who were already standing upright.

Tonight, the wind and rain stopped, and the people stayed at home, for Nishizawa, such a calm night is really rare, but in the eyes of some people, this rare calm may only last until dawn......

Return to the Pavilion of the Spirit.

The two groups of people chatted casually for a while, during which Duan Chen and Duan Qianrou never mentioned that they were royal, but Liu Fengchen was not stupid, and he guessed it from the moment Duan Chen reported his name.

It seems that there are only members of the royal family with the surname of Nishizawa, and judging from the age and demeanor of these two brothers and sisters, the identities of the prince and princess can't run properly.

It is precisely because the two brothers and sisters have never oppressed people with their identities, and they have always behaved in a proper manner from the time they met, which is also the reason why Liu Fengchen is not hostile to them.

Seeing that each other had no trouble, Duan Chen also decided to go straight to the topic, facing Liu Fengchen, he looked respectful and serious: "Duan Mou has the courage to ask, Brother Liu is a student of Zhongzhou College?"

Liu Fengchen on the other side thought to himself, "Why are the disciples of Zhongzhou Academy so popular?

In fact, Liu Fengchen didn't have much feeling about the identity of a student of Zhongzhou College, mainly because he didn't seem to have officially become a disciple of the academy at the beginning, and he was sent to the Southern Wilderness without even passing the assessment.

Although it was safe to pass the second round of assessment with the number of Golden Spirit Flags in his hand at that time, it was one thing for the Academy to admit it or not.

He was too worried about this, but he didn't know that Zhongzhou Academy was going crazy in order to find him, and every day he issued a task to send out to find his disciples, but it was wave after wave, if it wasn't for the fact that the demon clan was about to move, I was afraid that even the elders of the academy would be able to send out.

It's a pity that these don't know anything about Liu Fengchen, who is far away in Tiannan, and in the face of Duan Chen's question, Liu Fengchen can only say vaguely: "It should be counted." ”

Hearing Liu Fengchen's admission, Duan Chen was overjoyed in his heart, and his expression was a little excited: "Then I don't know why Brother Liu came to my Xize this time?"

"Duan Mou once heard that Zhongzhou Academy will distribute college tasks to disciples every month, could it be that Brother Liu is here for college tasks?"

"Academy mission?Is there such a thing in Zhongzhou Academy?I don't know!" Liu Fengchen naturally didn't dare to say this, causing suspicion that it would be small, and it would be a big loss of face.

Thinking that he is a dignified student of Zhongzhou College, he doesn't know much about the academy as much as Duan Chen, and if this is going to be spread, where will his face go!

But if he wants to say that he is really a disciple who has come to give out a mission, what should he say if the other party asks him what the task is? Don't forget, there is also one of his "senior" weapon kings here: Xiang Boming.

According to the calculation of time, that weapon king is now at least a martial emperor-level powerhouse, if he suspects Liu Fengchen of pretending to be a student of Zhongzhou Academy, the consequences are unimaginable.

After weighing it for a moment, Liu Fengchen had to tamper with his experience in the academy slightly, saying that he accidentally broke into a dilapidated altar in the academy, and ended up in the Southern Wilderness by mistake, and then he told the truth.

After listening to Liu Fengchen's experience, Duan Chen couldn't help but sigh.

He really deserves to be a student of Zhongzhou Academy, and he is really violent! If he were a disciple of another sect, he would have died a long time ago......

"Ahh

"Throwing spirit stones into the teleportation array, is there any explanation?" Duan Chen was a little confused when he heard this.

Liu Fengchen was also stunned, how could this little princess know about throwing spirit stones into the teleportation array? When they walked out of the teleportation array, there were no onlookers around.

"Could it be that Sister Duan picked it up?" asked Liu Fengchen tentatively.

"Uh-huh. Duan Qianrou nodded repeatedly, then flipped her palm, and a storage bag appeared in her hand, and everyone saw her take out a spar with a shining blue light and a crumpled note from the storage bag.

Duan Qianrou put the blue spar on the table, opened the note with both hands, pointed the side with the words at Liu Fengchen, and said, "Oh, did you throw this away?"

At a glance, Liu Fengchen recognized his handwriting.

That's right, who else can write such ugly words in the world but him?

Liu Fengchen hurriedly snatched the note and tore it three times and five by two, so as not to expose his level too much.

"Ahem" Then, he put his fist in front of his mouth and coughed dryly.

Duan Chen looked at the glittering spar on the table and couldn't speak for a long time.

If you read it correctly, this seems to be a medium-grade spirit stone, and looking at Liu Fengchen's series of actions just now, then this medium-grade spirit stone is really what he lost!

After a long time, Duan Chen was stunned and said, "Brother Liu, I don't know much about your operation!"

Liu Fengchen said stupidly: "This is also something that can't be helped, in the past, whenever it was involved with the teleportation array, I never fell well, and now I have to be careful with my family!"

"But what do you want to do here?" Duan Chen still didn't understand.

Liu Fengchen groaned: "Throw stones and ask for directions." ”

......

"Ahem, cough, cough!" Duan Chen coughed violently, he was really choked by saliva, the first time he heard that throwing stones to ask for directions was used like this.

Also, throwing stones and throwing stones, why do you throw spirit stones? Or are you medium-grade spirit stones?

As if seeing through Duan Chen's thoughts, Liu Fengchen's face turned pale and said, "Brother Duan!"

"Huh?" Duan Chen looked at him in a daze.

Then I listened to Liu Fengchen continue: "You can have fewer inner monologues and leave more slots for readers to complain!"

Everyone: "......?"

Duan Chen, who was speechless for a while in his heart, could only say with feelings: "I didn't expect that Brother Liu's trip to the Southern Wilderness was so bumpy, and it forced Brother Liu to open the way by means of scattering money!"

Liu Fengchen also sighed with emotion: "This is all a trivial matter, my wish for the rest of my life is to be able to return to Zhongzhou alive!

After adjusting his mentality slightly, Duan Chen continued: "Then Brother Liu can be completely relieved, and then Brother Liu wants to take the teleportation array back to Zhongzhou, I'm afraid it's too late!" From Duan Chen's words, Liu Fengchen faintly heard some bad meanings.

Although this place is located in the northern part of the Southern Wilderness, it is still quite far away from Zhongzhou, if you don't use the teleportation array, with Liu Fengchen's foot strength, I am afraid that he will die directly on the road, not to mention taking Qiu Shuiyao with him.

It's false to say that you don't touch the teleportation array, but if you can go back as soon as possible, of course, it's better to go back as soon as possible.

"What does Brother Duan mean when he says that there will be no teleportation array in the future?" Liu Fengchen asked.

Duan Qianrou on the side hurriedly replied: "I heard Grandpa Pei say this, since half a year ago, the teleportation array here has been unable to lead to Zhongzhou, not only us, it seems that Zhongzhou has closed all the teleportation arrays leading to the outer realm, until now, if you want to enter Zhongzhou, you can only take a flying magic weapon or walk." ”

"What?!" Liu Fengchen was shocked, listening to what Duan Qianrou said, it seemed that not only could Nishizawa's teleportation array no longer reach Zhongzhou, but the entire Southern Wilderness could no longer go to Zhongzhou through the teleportation array.

It's over the calf!

He came to Xize so hard because he wanted to use the teleportation array here to return to Zhongzhou as soon as possible, but after being busy for a long time, the teleportation array here was directly abolished.

"God is going to kill me!" Liu Fengchen was heartbroken, and the expression on his face was indescribably lonely.

Qiu Shuiyao couldn't bear to see him like this, and gently leaned on his shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, even if you go back, won't I accompany you!"

Duan Chen said with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't panic, although it is the fastest to take the teleportation array to Zhongzhou, but don't forget, what we in Xize do not lack is magic weapons, especially magic weapons such as boats!"

Hearing this, Liu Fengchen was like an initiation.

That's right, there is a king of weapons in Xize, this is the country of Ze, boats and other magic weapons are everywhere, if there is a boat with a speed comparable to that of the sky, along the Tongtian River in the east all the way to the north, I believe it will not be too slow.

Thinking of this, Liu Fengchen took Duan Chen's hand and said excitedly: "Do you have the kind of boat that can travel faster on the water than in the sky? If so, please sell it to me, as much as you want!"

Duan Chen withdrew his hands with difficulty, and said helplessly: "There is such a boat, but I can't be the master." ”

"Aren't you the prince here, you can't even be the master of this?" Liu Fengchen wondered.

Hearing the word "prince", the expression on Duan Chen's face changed slightly, but it quickly disappeared, glanced at Liu Fengchen, and said in a deep voice: "That is the only water magic weapon in Xize that is comparable to the eight-rank imperial weapon, it has always been in the hands of that person, I have no right to use it, but ......"

"But?" Liu Fengchen, who was still a little disappointed, heard that there was still a turning point, and said nervously: "Is there any other way?"

Duan Chen got up and walked to the window, looked down at the two rows of guards downstairs, looked a little dissatisfied, glanced at the Huanghu Lake in the south, turned his back to everyone, and said, "If Brother Liu promises me one thing, I can promise you that within two months, I will give that imperial weapon to Brother Liu!"

"Give it to me, how embarrassing is this?" Liu Fengchen said hesitantly: "Brother Duan, let's talk about what you want me to promise you first." ”

"Let's talk about it first, I won't do these things like killing people and setting fires, and abducting and deceiving people......" As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Fengchen suddenly found that Duan Chen had come to his side at some point, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, "What a fast body!"

"Brother Duan?" Liu Fengchen was just about to continue asking, when he saw Duan Chen take a step back and respectfully bent down and bowed to Liu Fengchen.

Liu Fengchen hurriedly got up and helped him up: "What are you doing here?"

Duan Chen got up and beckoned gently to Duan Qianrou: "Qianrou, come here." ”

"Oh!" Duan Qianrou obediently walked up to him and stood in front of Liu Fengchen.

"Before the end of the year, it is the time for Zhongzhou College to recruit new students, and after two months, I hope that Brother Liu can take his little sister Qianrou to participate in the assessment of Zhongzhou College!" Duan Chen took Duan Qianrou's hand and said quite seriously.

"College assessment? Is there any assessment this year?" Liu Fengchen was almost stunned, it had only been less than two years since his last assessment, and Zhongzhou College only recruited new students every five years, so how could there be any assessment now.

Duan Chen said: "In the past, Zhongzhou College did open once every five years, but according to the news I learned, now Zhongzhou College has changed to recruit students every two years, and the date of the next student assessment is before the end of the year." ”

"So that's the case!" Liu Fengchen suddenly realized, his current level of news blockade is no different from that of an native, where can he know that the academy has changed its rules.

Looking at Duan Qianrou beside Duan Chen, she felt a little and found that this little girl had just reached the middle stage of entry, and although her age was up to the requirements, her cultivation was ......

Duan Chen also knew that his little sister's cultivation was still a little low, but this was also the reason why he came to Liu Fengchen.

After that, Duan Chen told Liu Fengchen about the news he had gotten.

It turns out that the assessment of Zhongzhou College this time is different from the past, in the past, even the students who participated in the assessment needed a place, but this year it is fully open, as long as you go to sign up, you can participate, whether it is a first-class force Tianjiao or a lonely ordinary martial artist, as long as the age and cultivation reach the threshold to participate in the assessment.

After listening, Liu Fengchen suddenly remembered one thing: "If your cultivation goes to participate in the assessment, it will definitely be nine out of ten, why don't you take your sister there in person?"

"It's true that I'm going to leave here, but I'm not going to go to Zhongzhou Academy!" Duan Chen said.

"And where are you going?"

"Medicine Immortal Valley!" Duan Chen replied truthfully.

"Medicine Immortal Valley?" Liu Fengchen heard of this name for the first time, and the name sounded very domineering, but he didn't know what his strength was.

"Zhongzhou Academy integrates the strengths of the world, whether it is cultivation or magic, it stands at the peak of the world, although the medicine king Gu Zhi Yi of the Medicine Immortal Valley is half a chip behind Zhongzhou College in the alchemy technique, but for the understanding of the world's pharmacology, the medicine king Gu Zhi Yi deserves to be called the first!"

Xiaolian in Qiu Shuiyao's arms suddenly interrupted: "You want to go there to find the elixir that increases longevity?"

The others hadn't reacted yet, but Duan Chen smiled a little bitterly, of course he also wanted to go to Zhongzhou Academy to practice, but it was up to him.

Liu Fengchen asked Xiaolian, "How do you know?"

Xiaolian snorted: "Since the first meeting, I have asked him about the taste of many kinds of elixirs, and there are even some poisons, but these medicines are all more or less life-increasing without exception, but if you are not proficient in pharmacology and use drugs indiscriminately, it will only have the opposite effect!"

"Isn't that ......?" Liu Fengchen did not continue, but turned his head to look at Duan Chen.

Duan Chen was quite open-minded, and nodded frankly: "Yes, if you are not familiar with pharmacology, the medicinal properties of various elixirs will conflict with each other and cancel each other, and in the end they will only become deadly poisons, and my appearance is due to this!"

"Brother Three Wangs, you are ...... for Concubine Yun's mother" Hearing this, Duan Qianrou finally understood why her Brother Three Kings had become full of gray hair, and she also knew why Duan Chen did this, but she didn't have the slightest way to help Duan Chen.

Duan Chen gently stroked her hair, and said apologetically: "Brother Wang can't accompany you to Zhongzhou, when I find the elixir that can cure my mother's concubine, I will go to the academy to see you." ”

Duan Qianrou took Duan Chen's hand and said with tears in her eyes, "What if Brother Wang can't find it?"

It's not that Duan Qianrou is pessimistic, but when she learned about Concubine Yun, she was even more sad than Duan Chen, in order to find an elixir that could heal Concubine Yun, she pestered her master Yan Baoyu every day during that time, but in the end, she couldn't find a suitable elixir after looking through all the pills and medical books in Xize, so she had to give up, so she could only find more time to be by Duan Chen's side, and it was good to make him smile more, but it turned out that Duan Chen took care of her more often.

Duan Chen also knew that Duan Qianrou was caring about him, and said with a smile: "You will definitely be able to find it, don't you still believe Brother Wang?"

Seeing the brother and sister comforting each other here, Liu Fengchen cautiously interrupted: "Listen to me first, I don't know what kind of disease Concubine Yun has yet?"

Duan Chen said sadly: "The mother concubine is suffering from congenital veins. ”

Duan Qianrou exclaimed, "How did Brother Wang know?"

Concubine Yun has been ill for many years, not to mention the alchemists in the entire Xize, all the famous alchemists have visited Concubine Yun, and Yan Baoyu, a five-grade alchemist, has checked day and night, but until now he has not even figured out what illness Concubine Yun has, so Duan Qianrou was surprised.

Liu Fengchen didn't know what the congenital pulse was, so he had to ask Xiaolian: "Xiaolian, do you know?"

Xiaolian really didn't disappoint him, jumped from Qiu Shuiyao's arms to the table, and began to say quietly: "That's right, his mother's illness ......"

"Eh, don't swear!" Liu Fengchen raised his hand to interrupt.

Xiaolian glanced at him with disdain, and then looked at Duan Chen with an inquiring gaze.

Where would Duan Chen care about this, if he could learn more about the cause of Concubine Yun, he would have more hope, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Please ...... Uh, Master Lian tells you!"

Xiaolian waved her hand to signal everyone to sit down, and everyone listened, and he also sat cross-legged on the table and began to explain to everyone.

Xiaolian roughly means: the fourteen meridians of the human warriors, each of which has its own unique role and is indispensable.

There is aura in the world, and there is also qi in the human body, which can be called vitality, this qi is the origin of the human body, and it is also necessary to use the meridians to travel all over the body, without aura people will not die, but if they lose their vitality, people will enter a state of weakness, and worse, every time they lose some vitality, they will lose part of their life, and when they are exhausted, their life will end.

The so-called congenital absolute vein, which means that the meridians in the body are incomplete, which is not caused by trauma, but is born without meridians, so those Qingmai Dan and Tongmai Dan are all useless, and people who are born with a lack of meridians are born with a lot less vitality than ordinary people, so they will be in a state of weakness and sickness since childhood.

For ordinary people, if there is not much missing meridians, one or two will not have too much impact, at most, it is impossible to cultivate to become a martial artist, and Shouyuan will be less than a few years, but if the number of missing meridians reaches half or more than half, it will be bad, if there is no accident in this situation, most of them will not live to the age of forty, and even the more serious ones will die at the moment of birth due to lack of vitality, and they are lucky to live to be thirty years old.

As for why outsiders can't detect whether the meridians are missing, the main reason is that the absolute meridians will give people the illusion that the meridians are blocked, and unless they have a pair of eyes, they can't find the missing meridians at all.
