Chapter 41: Wen Xiucai
Wen Zhenghan stood by the pool, and Zhao Dongli soaked in the pool.
Wen Zhenghan fell into deep thought and paused for a while. Zhao Dongli looked up at him, not daring to make a sound.
After a while, Wen Zhenghan began to narrate:
"There was once a teenager, his parents died early, raised by his uncle and sister-in-law, although he was poor, but his life was still worry-free, his parents had hoped that he would gain fame and become an official in Daxia. Therefore, he concentrated on learning knowledge and worked hard for the imperial examination. β
And his uncle and sister-in-law have a daughter who is three years younger than him, and he is a childhood sweetheart, and the two have loved each other since they were children, and they have made a private decision for life. He was going to wait for himself to pass the examination and then ask his uncle and sister-in-law for marriage. β
After several years of hard study, he finally passed the Xiucai examination, but when he was in the examination, he was framed for cheating in the exam, deprived of his fame, and sentenced to one year in prison. β
Zhao Dong knew that this talent was Wen Zhenghan, and the best expression at this moment was to show a look of righteous indignation in time, and said indignantly: "This must be someone who is jealous, if I let me know who it is, I will definitely avenge the master." β
Wen Zhenghan was slightly surprised, paused, and said, "No need." Whether it was the examiner in question or the person behind it, I later killed the whole family. β
Zhao Dongli gasped, this is really a generation of murderers.
Wen Zhenghan ignored Zhao Dongli and continued: "When Xiucai came out, he found that his childhood sweetheart and lifelong cousin had actually died, and after he secretly investigated, he found that it was a local county king who took a fancy to his cousin and wanted to take her as a maid. β
He smiled coldly and said, "To their royal family, the maidservant is a concubine with a lower status. β
The cousin had a heart, and she was not greedy for glory and wealth, so she refused to her parents, but she didn't expect her uncle and sister-in-law to agree to the king of the county, and even accepted the gift money. β
In desperation, my cousin actually hanged herself. β
Zhao Dongli was embarrassed to be obedient, it turned out that Wen Zhenghan was also a poor person.
Wen Zhenghan continued: "This stupid Xiucai ran to the county king's house to theorize, but he didn't even see the county king's face, and he was broken by the servant of the county king's family. β
From then on, he swore revenge and began to practice martial arts. β
Zhao Dongli wondered and asked, "Where did Xiucai's martial arts come from?"
Wen Zhenghan said: "In prison, because of his kindness, he took care of an old prisoner, and that person recited a book of martial arts secrets to him and asked him to write it down. β
And this Xiucai began to practice this martial art. β
He began to practice martial arts at the age of twenty-two, entered the realm of enlightenment at the age of twenty-five, reached the ninth level of enlightenment at the age of twenty-eight, and became a grandmaster at the age of thirty. β
Zhao Dong was shocked, his cheap master was really a grandmaster-level figure, and he couldn't find ten people in the entire Great Xia, it was difficult to make a small move under such a powerful figure, but if he could complete his task and survive, the benefits would be huge.
Wen Zhenghan continued: "And in this process, this Xiucai kept going out for revenge, killing people he thought should be killed, and everyone in the Ji family should be killed. The Great Xia royal family also sent people to chase and kill, but in the end, they were all killed by this Xiucai. β
Finally, when he stepped into the realm of the grandmaster, he resolutely killed the imperial city, although he injured the emperor, but he was injured by the old eunuch in the imperial city, and returned with a feather. β
Zhao Dongli interjected: "Xiucai will kill the imperial city alone, and he will definitely lose his fists to four hands." β
Wen Zheng smiled coldly and said: "Xiucai's martial arts are already invincible in the world, but it's a pity that the old eunuch has a magic weapon in his hand." β
"Huh, Divine Soldier?" Zhao Dongli touched his chin, at this time his meridians had gradually recovered, the healing effect of this hot spring pool was really good, he wondered if there was any treasure underneath.
A terrifying expression flashed on Wen Zhenghan's face, and he said slowly: "Yes, a terrifying divine weapon." β
"The material of this divine soldier itself can blow short hair, sharpen iron like clay, and what is even more terrifying is that this divine soldier is like falling from the underworld to the world, every time he attacks, there will be evil ghosts attacking, all-round attacks without dead ends, making people unguardable, even if they can prevent evil ghosts, the attack of this divine soldier itself is not a joke. And that old eunuch is also a grandmaster, although he has not lived for a few years, but after all, he was a grandmaster before he died. β
Zhao Dongli secretly thought, such a weapon, it is more appropriate to call it a ghost soldier.
"And this is beyond the power of the grandmaster, I was defeated by this divine soldier and escaped by luck. From this time to time, he was tortured by the 'Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Body', and it took ten years to suppress it and regain his strength. β
"If you can't defeat this divine weapon, you can't defeat the old eunuch, you can't kill the emperor, you can't kill my biggest enemy. β
Wen Zhenghan finally admitted that he was the showman at the end, but the more Zhao Dongli listened, the worse it became, could it be that Wen Zhenghan accepted him as an apprentice to take him to the imperial city again to kill the emperor.
In Wen Zhenghan's words, Zhao Dongli heard a news that shocked his heart, that this divine weapon was actually beyond the existence of the grandmaster.
He climbed out of the hot spring pool, made a big salute to Wen Zhenghan, and asked sincerely, "Master, I want to ask you for some news." β
Wen Zhenghan narrowed his eyes slightly, which made Zhao Dongli feel tight in his heart, and then saw him nodding.
Zhao Dongli was overjoyed, so he said: "I also have a childhood sweetheart's fiancΓ©e, who was kidnapped two months ago. β
Wen Zheng was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, and he said coldly: "If you think that if you make up a story similar to me, you want me to look at you differently, then I advise you not to bother with this." β
Zhao Dongli hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Master, what I said is the truth, and there is no element of fiction and fabrication. β
Then, Zhao Dongli told Wen Zhenghan about his experience, talking about the strange demon vine that can devour human flesh and blood, and the flying Immortal and the Sky Splitting Lanying who can fly, Wen Zhenghan put away the expression on his face and thought about it.
Wen Zhenghan pondered, judging from Zhao Dongli's previous cleverness and wit, he would not be stupid enough to deceive him with fabricated facts, and this made it easier for a trace of doubt in his heart to correspond.
After Zhao Dongli finished speaking, he said: "Master, what I want to know is, do you know this kind of 'immortal', what clues do you have?"
Wen Zhenghan shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it. β
Zhao Dongli was like being poured with a basin of cold water, and the glimmer of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again.
Wen Zhenghan then said: "However, because I want to kill all the people of the royal family, I have investigated all aspects of the royal family, but I have found that there are many varieties of tribute paid by the states of Great Xia, but the royal family itself does not use them. β
"If it's really like what you said, then there may be some hidden forces above our royal family, family, and gang in Great Xia, and they are the real rulers of Great Xia. β
And this, the emperor of Great Xia and the old eunuch must know. β
Zhao Dongli's spirit was shocked, Wen Zhenghan's analysis was very reasonable, this is an extremely clear clue, but how to ask the emperor and the old eunuch in Wen Zhenghan's mouth? This seems to be a more difficult task than approaching Zhao Xingsheng.
Moreover, he asked Wen Zhenghan, the grandmaster, but he didn't know anything about the "immortals", and Zhao Xingsheng was very likely to be unclear.
At this time, Wen Zhenghan suddenly grinned and said: "Although you don't know why, you are not afraid of 'Hundred Ghosts Devouring Body', but as long as you are not afraid, it is a good thing, and in addition to practicing, I will let you experience the taste of 'Hundred Ghosts Devouring Body' from time to time." β
Zhao Dongli's face crossed, even if he woke up and found that he was fine, but in the dream, the pain he suffered was real. But at this time, people are knives and I am fish and meat, so he can only grit his teeth and nod.
Wen Zhenghan smiled again: "But if you can't reach the ninth order of enlightenment before the emperor's death, I will pull out your heart like yesterday." β
"If you can't slash the emperor, you'll be useless. β
Zhao Dongli's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "How long does this dog emperor have to live?"
Wen Zheng said coldly: "Maybe next year, maybe five years." β
He paused, looked at the sky, and spat out another sentence, "Maybe it's today." β
Zhao Dongli's cardiac arrest was a few seconds away, and this feeling of dying at any time was really terrible.

Zhao Mansion VIP Garden Tianyi.
King Lan was also in a bad mood now, and Lord Huaying glared at him angrily and shouted, "Why do I have to go back after only coming out to play for a few days!" There were several guards and Tang Shu standing around.
King Lanjun smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, don't make trouble, my father sent a message to let us go back yesterday." β
The lord of Huaying put his hands on his waist and shouted, "Which person came to deliver the message, you call this person to come out and tell me!" She turned around again, pointed to several guards, and said, "Who do you say?"
King Lanjun was helpless, he made a color to Tang Chop, this matter is very important, they must leave the dangerous Zhao Mansion today, but the annoying thing is that he has not had a chance to persuade the county lord of Huaying, just change the guards to pack his bags, so that the county lord of Huaying can see the signs and come to the door to make noise.
Tang Chop took a look, and his heart would know, although he didn't know why King Lanjun suddenly wanted to return to Yongzhou, but looking at his expression, there must be a hidden feeling. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "County Lord, the carrier pigeon sent by the prince said that the princess is sick and misses your brothers and sisters." β
When the county lord Huaying heard this, he stopped making trouble, and hurriedly asked: "Tang Shu, does the letter say that my mother's illness is serious?"
Tang Chu shook his head and said: "The letter said that the princess only had an occasional illness, and the doctor said that it might be lovesickness." β
He paused, looked at Lan Jun Wang and said, "After all, the county king has been out for more than half a year, and you have been out for more than a month." β
Lord Huaying's eyes immediately turned red, and he muttered to himself, "Mother!" She suddenly turned around and rushed out of the living room.
King Lan hurriedly asked loudly, "Sister, what are you going to do?"
From outside the living room, there was a slightly crying voice from the lord of Huaying: "I'll go and clean up the salute." The footsteps were far away.
