"Where are you from, what are you doing in Baiyun Township, and what about your other accomplices?"

"I am a native of Guangling in the Central Plains, and my father is the master of Wubao Fort and a Jindan warrior. In the war in the Central Plains, he took thousands of people from the whole fort to cross the sea and take refuge in Baiyun Township. Everyone else died in the Ring of Storms, and I was the only one left. ”

I have fluently repeated this passage twice in the Imperial Capital dialect (that is, the official dialect of the Central Plains) and the local dialect of Guangling, and at the same time eloquently proved that I am by no means an indigenous spy - the indigenous people do not leave Baiyun Township, and it is impossible for them to know so much about the customs and customs of China.

In addition, I want to try not to disclose Murong Zhicun's information in the confession, the current risk is unpredictable, it is better to hide her in the dark.

"I didn't expect that the Central Plains would still be at war for 30 years......"

Wang Qinian sighed.

I immediately echoed and sighed:

"The court is still maintained, the warlords are not dead, and there are robbers and demons everywhere. Baiyun Township was not covered, so we swam over. ”

This is a question that you don't need to answer. ”

Wang Qinian snorted.

I shut up immediately.

"Others, name others. It is impossible for you to get here from the Storm Ring as a primary. ”

"No one else. As I said, everyone else is dead. My father, who pushed me out of the Storm Ring before he died. This is the still sea, and I have a good water nature, so I swam here in a daze. ”

"Impossible, you don't have the body of a Jindan warrior, you can't climb the cliffs of the South Island, and our patrol ship in Shunshui Town will also find you in time. ”

"I happened to find a secret cave that allows you to get to the island without having to climb a cliff, and completely avoiding your patrols. ”

"There is some truth to this, there are a lot of caves in the South Island that we don't have enough manpower to explore. So, you are vainly claiming to be a person in the Immortal Dao, do you want to create a momentum for us to contain and value you?"

"I have nowhere to go, so I want to cling to you who went out of China with me. I know you need talent, and I am. My father is a Jindan Martial Saint who is more powerful than you, and I was born with Su Hui of the Thunder Curse, I can also practice Jindan in the future, and then help you Shunshui Town people continue to fight against the Baiyun natives. ”

Wang Qinian laughed and punched me in the stomach.

I was bleeding from my teeth, but I finally held back the pain and didn't scream.

He didn't even have the strength to use this punch.

But I've exhausted myself even the body to crawl out.

"Little child, let's play a game—if I come to the dark room tomorrow before dawn and you are still alive, I will spare you. ”

He kicked the door open, and the five-step killer snake, accustomed to the darkness, dived back to the bottom of the urn in horror. The long-lost rays of the sunset shone on my face again, and I think this is the last light I will see before dawn tomorrow.

"Hey, I'm not a child!Uncle, are you saying that if I can keep my qi in the state of the living dead for five hours, I am qualified to live here?!"

I used all my strength to shout at Wang Qinian's back under the remnant sun.

"Little kid, you're smart. But smart people don't necessarily have perseverance and concentration. The next night saw you make up. ”

The door was shut. I also heard the sound of a large rock closing the door.

The light is completely gone.

The serpent came out again.

Only by remaining in the state of the living dead can I not be bitten to death by them,

If my body is still as warm as a living person, it will be a meal for nearly a thousand snakes.

The vitality is at the bottom, and the fire spell has long been useless.

It's bad luck.

Unlucky.

I want to live.

......

In the past, when I was practicing internal strength, the limit I tried was to keep my qi in the state of the living dead for an hour.

This method does not help to expand the amount of qi, and can only exercise the proficiency and fluency of controlling qi. The training plan my father made for me was to first rush to the upper level of the internal strength of the true qi scale, and then focus on the skills of controlling zhì qi.

I have a foundation of external strength for ten years, and the rapid development of qi is the best use of the first-class body foundation.

Turning the self into the state of the living dead can be done by anyone with proper thought guidance, but the difference between fine and coarse is not too late to practice later in the training program.

Neidan martial arts relies on people's thoughts to control qi, and anyone (except the dead) has qi flowing.

Learn to recite the method of channeling qi, and they can also enter the state of the living dead.

Therefore, in this state of vitality at the bottom, I can also use my thoughts to guide my qi into the state of the living dead who is not bitten by snakes.

Why did Wang Qinian want me to focus on exercising and controlling qi?

This is contrary to the training plan that my father had before his death.

Even if I could keep the state of the living dead for ten years (at the end of the civilization era, there were cultivators who faced the wall in the state of the living dead for ten years), it would not help to increase my qi.

- Of course, all of the above is my nonsense.

Maybe Wang Qinian, on the one hand, saw that I had extraordinary qualifications and a flexible mind, and was reluctant to kill, and on the other hand, when he saw that I had so many people in his barracks, he couldn't hold his breath, so he used a five-step murder snake to scare me all night.

-- Five hours? Try and maybe you can do it.

This is a goal that can be achieved if you dare to fight for your life.

Wang Qinian can use the five senses while maintaining the state of the living dead.

But I can't.

However, the task he gave me was to spend five hours here safely, and it would not be a problem not to use my facial features.

I still use the Confucian method of centering to calm my mind.

Like when the dragon was silent, I sealed my hearing with "Don't Listen."

I used it once in actual combat last time, and this time I did it in a few breaths.

Since it was completely dark, it didn't matter if there was vision or not.

Next, I used the mental method of "don't look at indecent things" to seal my vision.

There is nothing in the darkness, and there is still nothing in the two senses.

But it's still a little different—before the two senses are sealed, my mind is still afraid of the unknown, and countless distracting thoughts grow like a split. And after sealing the two senses, I mentally ignored the darkness itself.

I was completely cut off from external objects, including darkness. If there are natives who don't know the reason for the Chinese army breaking in at this time, they can kill me without resistance with a single sword.

All things do not linger, and one qiē is by the will of heaven.

I was more focused on my heart than ever before.

I automatically looked inward at my body.

I saw the light.

This is the flow of qi within my body, flowing like a small river.

I'm going to soothe them with my thoughts, and make them look like mirrors on the surface.

Gradually, the qi on my surface stopped, and only undercurrents in the depths.

This is the state of the living dead.

and plants in general.

――It seems to be still, but it is full of life.

......

At noon the next day, Wang Qinian woke me up.

"Am I qualified?"

The sun was shining so hard that I couldn't open my eyes.

After getting used to the light, I devoured the cured meat he had brought with me - I grabbed him for questioning yesterday without a bite.

I'm very empty right now.

I touched my face and found that my human skin mask had been torn off, and my original pretty face was still exposed.

"We Confucianists say that people who are not mediocre will not have a mediocre face. ”

"Hey, give me back the human skin mask, it's my family's ancestral. ”

Wang Qinian threw the mask back to me, hehe smiled,

"You remained alive dead for an extra hour when I came this morning, and then you went straight into a deep sleep. ”

Six hours, I've overdone!

"I will continue to lock you up in the dark room today, and this time I will lock you up for seven hours. ”

"I protest! You don't keep your word. ”

"Joke, I'm just sparing the original sword. Now I'm punishing the nameless one. Didn't he say that you can survive our Shunshui Town? If Nameless cannot maintain the state of the living dead for twelve consecutive hours in a month, I will kill Nameless and let him go to see the ancestors of the Star Sect. ”

I glared at Wang Qinian

It's not that I don't want to play with you, an uncle, but this method of practicing qi has really helped me a lot, and my mind to control qi has become much stronger. Even though it can't boost my energy, I can play when I'm fine.

But what I'm going to die is that I've been away from Murong Zhi for many days, and if I have to spend another month with you, will Murong Zhi have the patience to wait? What if she thinks I'm dead? Once she has a delusional attack, it is hard to guarantee that she will not take any extreme actions against your town.

Anyway, I have to find a way to get out of the little black room as soon as possible.

"Uncle, can you give me some more cured meat, we martial arts practitioners have a lot of intestines. I'm hungry. ”

- When I'm full of energy and can cast spells, I'll surprise you again.

Wang Qinian praised,

"What bad idea are you thinking of this kid? I think my third brother is so cunning at his age. ”

"It turns out that there is still the third brother Wang?" I mocked without saying a word, and I had a great grudge against Wang Qinian.

"Well, he is an unborn genius in our clan, he has only practiced to the Jindan realm at the age of seventeen, with three virtues, wisdom and bravery, and a very great future. It's a pity that when he organized the rebel army in the northern part of the Central Plains, he was killed by the eagle dogs of the pseudo-Qi. If we live to this day, maybe we can already reach the realm of Yuanying, and we are not afraid of any Aung San treasure flame. No, we don't need to leave the Central Plains at all, but fight to the death with the puppet Qi and the Rakshasa Kingdom to restore our territory in China!"

Wang Qinian suddenly felt sad,

"He will always be a seventeen-year-old boy in our hearts, and it is ridiculous that today's patriarch, my second brother and I are old. Time grinds people! Time grinds people! The world is still at war, and we are like a nest of rats hiding in the corners of the world, and none of the teachings of the sages have been fulfilled...... Kid, did I lose my temper just now?"

"Uncle, you're in tears,"

I looked at Wang Qinian, a cold man, and shed rare tears, and remembered to sprinkle salt on his wounds,

"Also, I'm not the little brother of the king who died early, and I don't like things like restoring the country and leveling the world. Uncle, don't make a mistake, thank you. ”

We pirates are not like these Confucian people, who have a complex of family and country. If he only misses his dead relatives, I can understand that I miss my dead father and mother too. If I get to the Central Plains, it's going to ruin my appetite.

I know that the Pseudo-Qi Prince's Sun clan is also a Yuanying strong family, and the Nangong family, to which my father belongs, has been mortal enemies for hundreds of years. My father's gang, as the vanguard of the Nangong family, also fought several times against the army of the puppet Qi, and they won and lost each other - they won more on land, and we won more on sea.

The Gongsun family is attached to the Rakshasa barbarians, and the Nangong family also has a secret alliance with Yuwenba, the governor of Jiangnan in the imperial court. But the Nangong family and the Gongsun family are fighting for land and wealth, and they have nothing to do with the dispute between Huaxia Yidi.

In the creed of our pirates, there is no distinction between countries, just like cultivators (except that we love treasures, and cultivators love immortality).

In the same way, I can't accept Murong Zhi's delusion of reviving Dayan from the bottom of my heart.

"Make your kid laugh. Compared to children of the same age, you can see too much. ”

Wang Qinian patted me on the shoulder,

"I still have military affairs to do, now you continue to go to the small black house, and I will bring you food in ten hours." Don't think of bad ideas, you can't escape the palm of my hand. ”

"Good. ”

Ten hours Wang Qinian's absence was enough for me to have time to escape.

Now I can cast spells again.

Outside the wooden door, there was the same sound of a large stone as it had been yesterday.
