An Zheng replied: "You're a bit worse than me."
Du Shoushou curled his lips. "I'm just a bit worse than you, how could you be this injured?"
An Zheng replied: "He's also not better than me."
Du Shoushou: "At most, they will be evenly matched."
An Zheng: "I'm injured."
Du Shoushou said: "I forgot... However, this guy's Cultivation Power is very strange, why can it burn your body like this, it's as though hair is gone … "
An Zheng: "If you shut up now, I would still treat you as a friend."
Du Shoushou laughed: "But you don't have to worry. Xiao Liu'er's medical skills are unparalleled, even after I apply medicine on you, I still wouldn't be able to tell that you've been roasted before. Do you know, An Zheng, what was the first thing I thought of when I saw you being roasted like that? "
An Zheng said: "If you dare say that you want to find Ziran, I'll kill you."
Du Shoushou laughed out loud: "Why is this person's Cultivation Power so strange?"
An Zheng said: "Simply put, cultivators are separated into two types. One could be called an ordinary cultivator, while the other could be called an exceptional cultivator. The difference between the two was their perception of heaven and earth origin energy. You, me, Xiao Yezi, Xiao Liu'er all belong to ordinary cultivators. We can transform heaven and earth origin energy into our own Cultivation Power. For example, cultivators like Ding Wanqiu could not sense all the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Instead, they could sense some kind of power from the Qi of the weather. For example, some people were very sensitive to water vapor, some people were very sensitive to fire qi, and some people were very sensitive to the power of metal. This Ding Wanqiu's perception of fire energy is extremely terrifying. "
Du Shoushou said: "In other words, he is only cultivating the power of fire alone."
An Zheng said, "We specialize in techniques and techniques, so on the surface, it looks like ordinary cultivators like us can sense the energy of heaven and earth. However, the truth is that this is not the case. Ding Wanqiu focused on one element of cultivation. In comparison, she was like a warrior who had trained with both the sword and the spear his entire life. She was proficient in everything. On the other hand, Ding Wanqiu seems to have only cultivated one type of weapon in his life, and can often reach the pinnacle. "
Du Shoushou said: "In other words, our erudite knowledge cannot compare to others'."
An Zheng said: "You can't put it like that either. But one thing is certain... The number of peak cultivators above the Lower Completion Stage s, the number of exceptional cultivators, is slightly higher than the number of ordinary cultivators. "
Du Shoushou: "So this kind of special case of cultivators, is actually mostly geniuses?"
An Zheng nodded, "That's basically the case. Cultivators like Ding Wanqiu, even if they were placed in the Da Xi sect, would still receive important upbringing from the sect. It is said that the Feng Xiuyang of the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao is stronger than Ding Wanqiu, so it is possible that he is an exception. "
Du Shoushou sighed: "So I have taken a lot, at times, it's not a good thing."
An Zheng laughed: "I just said, in matters of cultivation, how can there be fixed levels of superiority? A single elementalist might progress even faster in cultivation because they were all concentrated in condensing and condensing. But it's not like they don't have any flaws … Their Cultivation Power s were generally relatively fewer. They could cultivate powerful moves. With a single elemental attack, they could often create a power that was as destructive as the heavens and the earth. But exactly because they are only aware of a single element, their accumulation of Cultivation Power is lower than that of ordinary cultivators. "
Du Shoushou shook his head: "What's the use of that, I can kill you in one move, no matter how much you store in your Cultivation Power."
He asked, "An Zheng, do you know how strong Heaven Realm cultivators are?"
An Zheng said: "The sky realm is divided into two types, the sky realm and the Lower Celestial Stage. In the entire world, there were probably not even thirty people who had reached the Lower Celestial Stage. Even if there were many people who were unwilling to enter society, he could still concentrate on his cultivation and live in seclusion somewhere. Including these people, there might not be more than fifty. As for the Great Heaven Realm cultivators … "As far as I know, I only suspect that there might only be one."
"Who is it?"
"Great xi's Holy Emperor, Chen Wunuo."
Du Shoushou swallowed his saliva, "A cultivator at the Great Heaven Realm, the only one in the world who... "No wonder Da Xi is so powerful and the Saint King is invincible. Just this point is enough to ensure the stability of Da Xi."
He asked, "Have you ever seen a Great Heaven Realm cultivator take action?"
An Zheng rolled his eyes at him. "What do you think?"
Du Shoushou laughed awkwardly: "Aren't you a Divine Inscriptionist? Even if you haven't seen me before, you should know right?"
An Zheng shook his head, "I have never seen a Greater Heaven stage cultivator attack, but I do know the legend of a Great Xi Lower Celestial Stage Ranker. About thirty years ago, there was a rebellion of the barbarians in the southern border of the Great Xixi. The barbarians of the Nine Gully Eighteen Stronghold had an unprecedented unity. They elected the Barbarian King, sealed off the mountain road, and declared their secession from Da Xi. At that time, the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo of Da Xi sent one of the generals, Hu Mu Yu, to fight against the rebellion. The barbarians of the Southern Wilderness relied on the sinister Zang Lu He. They didn't think that the Da Xi army could defeat them. "
"Zang Lu River is very wide and the river is very rapid. Moreover, there are beasts roaming around during the day and miasma was floating on the river surface at night. Crossing the river is even harder than stepping onto the stage. At that time, the Barbarian King Abi had stood across from Zang Lu He and boasted that if the Great Xi's army could get through, he would surrender. The water in the river couldn't be recombined within the time it took to burn a stick of incense. The upstream side of the river formed a water wall with a height of over ten meters. A great wave swept towards the barbarians. The barbarians suffered heavy losses. "
"Hu Mu Yu brought eight hundred elite soldiers across the river, and eight hundred of them broke through thirty thousand barbarian soldiers. The Barbarian King Abi kneeled down and begged for mercy, saying that he was willing to surrender. He said that the barbarians had made a great promise and that the Da Xi army would sneak attack as soon as they could cross the river. Thus, he was willing to fulfill his promise. Hu Mu Yu Yu shook his head, not allowing the barbarians to surrender and kill the Barbarian King on the banks of the Zang Lu River. Shi Mu and his troops had gone deep into the jungle. The barbarian population had been cut down by thirty percent. Therefore, all the barbarians from the Nine Gully Eighteen Stronghold had no choice but to plead for mercy. They were willing to offer up the supreme treasure of the barbarian race – the Moon Hook. From then on, the barbarians did not dare to rebel. "
After An Zheng finished speaking, Du Shoushou's face was full of zeal. "Whipping a whip into a river … "How domineering."
Gu Qianye's small mouth gaped, as though an egg could be stuffed inside. "My clansmen have always thought that the cultivators of the sixteen kingdoms are already very frightening. "From the looks of it, the cultivators of the sixteen kingdoms are nothing compared to the cultivators of the Great Xixi."
An Zheng replied: "It's understandable for cultivators to be a bit more powerful than the Great Western Region's. Da Xi has four Saint Qilin generals, and I have only heard about the Hu Mu Fish. As for the other three, I don't know if they are also in the Lower Celestial Stage. However, there were people who once said that strong practitioners who entered the Lower Celestial Stage could move mountains and fill the seas, so it was naturally easy to break rivers. But in reality, it was not that outrageous. "If we can really move mountains and fill the seas, why would we need such a huge army? It would be sufficient for one person to go."
Du Shoushou said, "Even if we can't, with Hu Mu Yu's strength, even if we go alone, we would still be able to kill the Barbarian King."
An Zheng said: "A cultivator of the Lower Celestial Stage is not immortal, no matter how strong a person's strength is, there is always a time when they are poor. You shouldn't underestimate the barbarians. Why did Hu Shou Yu lead 800 elite soldiers across the river? He's afraid of the Barbarian's blood fiend array, so he used eight hundred elite soldiers to break it. However, he only wants to kill the Barbarian King. "
Then, he laughed with an almost imperceptible bitterness, "The head of the Great Xi Empire's Ming Fa Si is also an expert of the Lower Celestial Stage, but wasn't he killed already?"
Du Shoushou immediately said: "Don't speak nonsense, the Great Western Ming Fa Si is my idol and my target. How can someone like him be killed so easily?"
An Zheng laughed: "I didn't die. If you say I didn't die, then I didn't die."
Du Shoushou looked into the sky, his eyes filled with yearning and reverence: "Back then in the Fantasy City, what I liked to hear the most were the legends about the Ming Fa Si brought by the travelers. In my opinion, the first seat of Ming Fa Si is the symbol of justice and fairness in the human world, the embodiment of the God of Heaven. At that time, I dreamt of going to the Great Xixi one day and becoming his subordinate. I wanted to be like him and get rid of all evil and injustice for the people. "
An Zheng said: "It's the same if you follow me."
Du Shoushou glared at him: "You can't compete with him!"
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders. "If you say you can't, then you can't.
Du Shoushou became serious: "An Zheng, you have to be respectful!"
An Zheng thought in his heart that why would I respect him? But he nodded with all my might: "From today onwards, can't I respect you?"
Only then did Du Shoushou let him go. "Everyone has a hero in their hearts, and he is the hero that I think he is. I remember an old traveler talking about it back at Fantasy City. Most of the things in this world were sinister and filthy, like a torrent carrying sand with it. The head of the Ming Fa Si was like a battleship, moving in reverse amidst this torrent. Some people say that what he has done is to eliminate the traitors. However, in reality, he is the true reverse. "
An Zheng patted Du Shoushou's shoulder. "If he hears your words, he would be very touched."
Du Shoushou asked: "Then why are your eyes red?"
An Zheng: "I'm moved too."
Just as they were talking, someone knocked on the door outside the Heavenly Awakening Sect. Old Huo peeked his head out from the gatehouse and asked: "Who are you looking for?"
The man laughed: "I'm looking for An Zheng, I'm from Tiantong Palace."
Old Huo hurriedly came out. "Come in."
The man followed the Old Huo in. The Old Huo entered the house first to tell An Zheng and the rest, then invited the man in. The moment the person entered, he slightly frowned, as if he couldn't stand the smell of the medicine in the room. But in reality, Qu Liuxi's ointment was light and elegant, not pungent at all.
"Eunuch An, why have you come?"
The person who had come was Heavenly Temple's Eunuch, An Chengli.
"The King has asked me to come and see you."
An Chengli held onto a small gift box and casually placed it on the table. "It doesn't look like you're doing well."
An Zheng laughed: "I got beaten up."
An Chengli said: "The person who beat you up is not that good either … The King already knows about your fight with Ding Wanqiu. To think that you could still be lying comfortably, and the entire Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao was almost driven mad because of you. You injured the second ranked student of the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao, those Ox-nose Daoists are not that easy to pacify. The King has already recruited the people from the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao into the Palace to wipe your ass. "
An Zheng asked, "And then?"
Qu Liuxi and the others went out, leaving only An Zheng and An Zheng in the room.
An Chengli said: "There's no 'after', 'since' you can talk it out with Ding Wanqiu ', the King will be happy but it won't be too late. Naturally he won't let those Daoist people make things difficult for you. I came here for another reason … A few days ago, when the Black Turtle and White Tiger battalions got rid of Pang Chunmei and Liu Yuanduo, did you go there? "
An Zheng nodded: "I will be going."
An Chengli said: "Those people are very dissatisfied with you, they think that you're not loyal enough to the King."
An Zheng said: "I don't care what they think."
An Chengli said: "Naturally, you don't have to care too much about it. It's just that when General Wang Kaitai and I were chatting, you seemed to be very interested in Li Changlu as well? "
An Zheng said two simple words, "Want to kill him."
An Chengli sighed: "It's not easy to kill... "But I can help you. There are few people who know him better than me."
An Zheng asked, "Why?"
An Chengli answered: "He's my master."
Chapter 150 - Vouchers
An Chengli looked at An Zheng: "You aren't even willing to give me a cup of tea?"
An Zheng called for people to make some tea for An Chengli and when the person who made the tea went out, he poured a cup for himself and leaned back while holding it. He seemed to be very relaxed here, and in the palace, his back was always bent. He was different from another person. An Zheng had seen Li Changlu bending his waist at every moment, and he had also seen An Chengli bending his waist at every moment.
These two people gave people a very different feeling. Li Changlu bent his waist and bent his knee. And when An Chengli bent his waist, it was as if he was constantly on guard.
"The tea is so rotten."
An Chengli sipped some tea: "Since you're so rich, why don't you buy some good tea for us to drink?"
An Zheng said: "The more expensive the tea is, the less the taste will be. I like the taste to be heavier."
An Chengli laughed and shook his head: "Even if you have money, you won't live like that. When we return to the palace to send you new tea, I will get someone to send you a packet. Every year, the people of the Gao Family would buy some good tea leaves from the Da Xi and send it to the Tiantong Palace and the Embroidery Palace.
He placed the teacup down, "Now, speaking of Li Changlu, you should also know that when we enter the palace we have something in common with the sect, which is that we need to find a master. In a place like the palace, it was much more dangerous than within the sect. With a master leading them, it was easy to deal with the situation. Li Changlu and I entered the palace in the same year, and were the same master. "
An Zheng was slightly stunned. Earlier, when An Chengli said that Li Changlu was his master and now that he said that the two of them were the same master, there was clearly some conflict.
An Chengli seemed to be able to see through An Zheng's doubt and laughed self-deprecatingly, "However, Li Changlu knows how to manage things. I was different. When I first entered the palace, I was submissive, I didn't know how to read words and look, and I also didn't know how to flatter. Thus, Master treated me coldly. "Later on, because Master failed to accomplish something important, he angered the empress dowager."
"What is it?"
An Zheng asked.
An Chengli laughed, "You sure are very curious … That year, a prince had come to Da Xi city. Naturally, the great swallow did not dare to be slow. During a banquet, my master accidentally spilled a cup of wine on the prince's clothes. At that time, the empress dowager placed great trust in my master.
"But everyone has to see the situation. That cup of tea killed my master's future and also his life. He didn't think this was a big deal. Back then, when he bent down to wipe up His Highness Duke of Qin, His Highness Prince said … The wine was not dirty, so there was no harm in it. "You're dirty, f * ck off."
An Chengli shook his head, "My master was usually spoiled by the empress dowager, so he wanted to leave in a huff at that time. As a result, the Empress Mother sent someone to beat him forty times in public. My master was proud and unruly because he was favored, and he was not very popular in the Embroidery Palace. Which eunuch of the execution wasn't bullied by him? "Thus, those forty slates were more or less real."
"He is also someone who cannot cultivate. After being hit by forty boards, he almost died. At any rate, those people knew they couldn't really beat him to death. Otherwise, it'd be hard to explain to the empress dowager. At that time, Li Changlu and I helped Master to go back, and Master scolded us as she walked. Li Changlu winked at me, but I didn't understand at the time. Li Changlu glared at me, and scolded me, saying that I still hadn't found medicine for Master. "
"I immediately ran out to find some medicine, and when I returned, Li Changlu was holding onto my master's corpse and crying to the point of tearing his heart and tearing his lungs apart. I asked him what was wrong, and he said that his master had been bullied and killed herself … Hehe, back then I was also stupid. I clearly saw Master's forehead, which was such a big bloody hole, and there were even handprints on his neck, yet I actually believed Li Changlu's words. "
"But later on, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that something was amiss. Afterwards, the empress dowager promoted Li Changlu. And Li Changlu knew that I had already understood what happened that day, so he forced me to recognize him as my master.
An Chengli replied: "Even though I'm a little stupid, I know when to lower my head. That's why I accepted Li Changlu as my master. Because of this matter, the people from the Embroidery Palace mocked and ridiculed me for a whole year. "
He asked An Zheng, "Do you know why those people didn't mock and ridicule me after this?"
An Zheng shook his head.
An Chengli said: "Because I became the King's man, the King promoted me to be a eunuch with a brush."
