Chapter 119: Yangzhou Twin Dragons, Heaven's Infinite Justice
The next morning.
Ni Kun got up refreshed, washed up with the help of Zhu Yuyan, applied medicated oil, took a sip of Tianzhu honey liquid, and went to the courtyard to practice physical training.
Zhu Yuyan, Kankan, Bai Qing'er and even the usually lazy Wen Caiting all got up early and practiced with him.
After the morning exercise, Ni Kun took another bath, changed into brocade clothes, sable fur, a golden crown and jade belt, and went out alone to Dongfang Bai's safe house. Unfortunately, Dongfang Bai was not there.
Ni Kun was not disappointed. Dongfang Bai held a military post and had a mission assigned by the evil king. It was impossible for him to hide here and be lazy all day. He came back without informing Dongfang Bai, so it was normal for Dongfang Bai not to be here.
Since he hadn't found Dongfang Bai, Ni Kun went to walk around the street for a while. At noon, he randomly found a restaurant to eat.
I was sitting in a window seat on the third floor, having ordered a table full of food and wine. As I was drinking, I suddenly saw two handsome young men walking up the stairs quickly. They looked around, found a table in the corner and sat down. After ordering the food, they sat there and started whispering.
Ni Kun had no habit of eavesdropping, but with his current level of cultivation, being sharp-eyed and sharp-eared was already a passive state. Even if he didn't listen deliberately, any loud sound would not escape his ears.
At first the two teenagers were careful to control the volume, but before they knew it, the sound became louder, making it impossible for Ni Kun not to hear it.
"No! That person is very evil and not a righteous person. Even if we want to avenge our mother, how can we serve such a person? Even if our mother is still alive, she would not want us to avenge her in this way!"
"Don't get excited, Young Master Ling. I'm not saying that I want to join that man. I just want to borrow his power and follow him to the Linjiang Palace banquet the day after tomorrow. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to go to Yang Guang and report Yu Wengu's evil deeds..."
"Lend us his strength? That's easy to say, but given that person's character and methods, how could he allow us to use him for nothing?"
"Everything depends on human effort. We can pretend to surrender, pretend...what is it?"
"It's just a pretense."
"Yes, just pretend to be nice. Anyway, we'll just use him for a while, and when the job is done, we'll just slip away and get away with it."
"Humph, Master Zhong, you're just wishful thinking. Once you're on this pirate ship, how can it be so easy to get off?"
"Why not? Du Fuwei, Zhai Rang, and Li Mi were all unable to do anything to us. No matter how strong that person is, can he be stronger than Father Du, Zhai Rang, and Li Mi?"
"Mr. Zhong, you are really..."
Hearing this, Ni Kun had already guessed who the two young men were.
They are the protagonists of the world of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Of course, although they were the protagonists in the past, it is hard to say how much of their protagonist luck they have left now.
"Do Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also want to go to the Linjiang Palace for a banquet and tell Yang Guang about Yu Wenzhi's evil deeds? Who is the 'that person' they are talking about?"
Ni Kun pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up, holding a wine glass, walked to the table for the two of them, nodded and smiled at them, and sat down.
His inexplicable behavior immediately made Kou and Xu alert.
Kou Zhong, who had big ears and a sturdy body, had none of the slickness of a Yangzhou thug, but instead had the bearing of a young hero. He stared at Ni Kun and asked in a deep voice:
"Who are you? Why don't you come here uninvited?"
Ni Kun smiled leisurely, twirling the wine glass with two fingers, looking at Kou and Xu, and said :
"Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, right? Young heroes, I have long heard of your great names.
"I want to make a deal with you. I wonder if you two are interested."
trade?
Hearing these two words, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling became more alert.
Apart from the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house, what else worth trading could these two ruffians who had just made a name for themselves in the underworld have?
As soon as this person arrived, he pointed out the identities of the two people, obviously he knew them.
So could this be another noble family member who covets Yang Gong’s treasure?
Kou and Xu looked at each other secretly, and when they looked at Ni Kun again, their eyes seemed harmless, but they were secretly accumulating strength and were ready to attack at any time.
"Sir, we are just two hooligans wandering around the world with nothing. How can we be worthy of your concern?"
Kou Zhong said with a grin.
Xu Ziling, who had a handsome appearance and elegant temperament, also said solemnly:
"Sir, your outfit is so great that we can't even sell our clothes to buy it. We two really can't think of anything we can trade with you."
Ni Kun smiled slightly:
"Okay, we are all sensible people, there is no need for you to joke .
"Don't you want to go to Linjiang Palace to meet Yang Guang? I can help you with that..."
If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!
Kou Xu certainly didn't say this out loud, but looking at their expressions, that's what he meant.
Ni Kun didn't care what they thought, he just said:
“Don’t worry, I have no interest in Yang Gong’s treasure house or anything like that…”
He raided the Dragon's Nest in the wasteland world, and also robbed several gold shops in the abandoned city with Tsunade, bringing back several tons of gold, which he threw all to Madam Dongming as military expenses.
To him, money is just something outside of his body, easily accessible and not worth mentioning.
As for the weapons and armor in Yang Gong's treasury, they were all new goods. They had never killed anyone or seen blood, so they were useless to Ni Kun.
Even for the Evil Emperor's relics, Ni Kun has his own pure Yuanpin Dzi beads. Aren't they better than the Evil Emperor's relics that are mixed with the evil thoughts of previous Evil Emperors?
Therefore, Yang Gong's treasure house has really no appeal to Ni Kun today.
But Kou and Xu were unaware of his generosity, and when they heard him mention Yang Gong's treasure house, they almost immediately launched an attack.
But Ni Kun changed the subject and said what he was really interested in:
"This young master doesn't like power or wealth, he only likes cultivating immortality.
"I heard that you two have obtained the secret of longevity and have made great progress in your practice. Could you please lend me the secret of longevity?"
The secret of longevity can directly draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body and cultivate innate true qi.
Judging from Ni Kun's experience in attracting the golden evil spirit, it seems that only 50% of the spiritual energy attracted from between heaven and earth will be intercepted by the mysterious key and the reincarnation watch.
Unlike when he was practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, the internal force generated in his body would be completely intercepted by the two and not a single bit would be left for him.
Of course, Ni Kun wanted the secret of immortality not for the purpose of practicing internal energy.
He has already established the foundation, which is to follow the path of human immortal martial arts to cultivate the body and spiritual bloodline. There are too many techniques to practice, and he does not have enough time to cultivate internal strength.
There are a total of seven pictures in the Changsheng Jue. Although the original story does not state it explicitly, many people speculate that the seven pictures should correspond to the five elements and yin and yang respectively.
This makes sense logically.
Kou Xu only practiced the last two Yin-Yang diagrams, and each obtained the Yin and Yang meridians, so the true qi of the two could complement each other and benefit each other.
Ni Kun was interested in the Five Elements diagram.
He is still lacking the element of earth among the five elements. If the first five pictures in the Changsheng Jue are really five-element pictures, then the earth picture can help him complete the five elements.
The three elements of water, fire and wood might help him strengthen his water, fire spirit and wood spirit bloodlines.
The Five Elements Diagram itself may also help him to understand the "Five Elements Fusion".
In addition, the secret of longevity can also prolong life and maintain beauty, which Ni Kun is quite interested in.
However, the secret of immortality seems to have the disadvantage of being "unprecedented".
However, Ni Kun felt that this should not be a problem for him.
With his physique, the shortcomings of the Immortality Technique would not be able to affect him.
The reason why Kou Xu was affected was simply because the two of them had never specialized in body training, and their physical energy was not strong enough.
In addition, the efficiency of Changsheng Jue in cultivating innate true Qi is very high. If it is used to charge the Samsara Watch, its efficiency should be far greater than that of Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra.
This is also a benefit for Ni Kun, as it can help him save a lot of charging time.
After hearing his true purpose, Kou and Xu did not relax, but they also gave up the idea of starting a fight immediately.
After all, they were still somewhat interested in the deal proposed by Ni Kun.
As for them, the secret of immortality is a thing of the past and is of no use to them.
If one could use a book of immortality secrets that was no longer useful to gain a chance to meet Yang Guang, report Yu Wenzhi's evil deeds, and help Fu Jun'er avenge her death, it would indeed be worth a try.
Furthermore, Xu Ziling did not agree with Kou Zhong's idea of pretending to be friendly with "that person" and using the other party's power to meet Yang Guang.
Seeing that Ni Kun seemed to have a way to meet Yang Guang, Xu Ziling would of course prefer to make a clearly priced deal with Ni Kun rather than having to sell himself to someone.
At that moment, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at each other and said cautiously:
"May I know this gentleman's name?"
Ni Kun smiled and said:
“My surname is Ni, my given name is Kun, I am unknown in the martial arts world, and I am not from a noble family.
"Of course, maybe one day in the future, you will hear my name and be shocked."
Although the annihilation of the Japanese army occurred in Liaodong, a remote corner of the world, and was not noticed by the heroes busy fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, it was closely related to the fall of Goguryeo and the death of Fu Cailin, so it would sooner or later spread throughout the world.
The story of Ni Kun destroying an army with one blow will also spread throughout the world.
As for whether people in the world will believe it...
I guess not many people will believe it.
After all, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, no one would dare to believe that someone could wipe out an army of 40,000 that once conquered the powerful country of Liaodong with just a wave of his hand.
But no matter what, Ni Kun's name will definitely be known to people all over the world.
After introducing himself, Ni Kun smiled again:
"Don't worry, I just want to take a look at the Secret of Immortality and I won't keep it for myself. After reading it, I will return it to its original owner.
"As long as you agree to this, I can take you to Linjiang Palace for a banquet and meet Yang Guang."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and flicked it across the table, revealing two golden pass tokens:
“This is the Linjiang Palace pass token.
"With this token, you can enter the Linjiang Palace banquet the day after tomorrow without any hindrance.
"What do you two think of this deal?"
Kou and Xu had been in the lower class of Yangzhou for many years, having suffered a lot of hardships. They had learned the secret of longevity on their own. Since wandering around the world, they had also dealt with Du Fuwei and the Wagang Army, gaining a lot of experience. They knew that human nature was treacherous and would not trust anyone easily.
However, Ni Kun's appearance and aura are indeed very friendly. The deal itself does not harm Kou and Xu at all. They do not need to give up the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house, nor do they need to sell themselves to him. Both of them are quite tempted.
After taking a look at the two golden tokens and then at Ni Kun's gentle and elegant, friendly appearance, Kou and Xu looked at each other, using the tacit understanding that they had developed over the years as brothers. After quickly exchanging opinions, Kou Zhong nodded and said:
“This deal is done.”
Xu Ziling said:
"But Master Ni needs to take us to a banquet to meet Yang Guang first. After the matter is done, we will give Master Ni the secret of longevity for him to see."
Kou Zhong continued:
"Of course, please rest assured, Master Ni. Before entering Linjiang Palace, we will take out the Longevity Secret and bring it with us. After meeting Yang Guang, we will give it to Master Ni."
Ni Kun did not object and nodded slightly:
"That's fine. The Linjiang Palace banquet will be held at the first quarter of the evening on the day after tomorrow. We, the guests attending the banquet, must enter the palace before the seventh quarter of the evening. So I will be waiting for you two outside the Linjiang Palace at the fifth quarter of the evening."
Kou Zhong smiled and said, "I dare not. The two of us will arrive outside Linjiang Palace before 5:05 pm on time to meet up with Master Ni."
Regarding the negotiation of the transaction, Ni Kun asked again:
"I just heard you two talking about someone, and it seems that you originally wanted to use that person's power to enter the palace to meet Yang Guang.
"I wonder who that person is? From what you two said, it seems that you are quite afraid of him?"
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling thought that Ni Kun was worried that “that person” would be annoyed with him for interfering and ruining “that person’s” plan to subdue their Yangzhou Twin Dragons. They wanted to find out “that person’s” background by offending a big enemy for no reason.
Kou Zhong felt that there was nothing to keep secret for "that person" since they were not on the same path anyway, so he smiled and said:
"That man's name is Zhao Wuji, he's a sorcerer, he founded a small sect called 'Tianli Sect', and he knows quite a few evil magic tricks.
"He used magic to deceive the Imperial Censor Pei Yun, who took him seriously and introduced him to Yang Guang. He will perform the so-called 'magic' in front of the emperor at the Linjiang Palace banquet the next day."
Xu Ziling said cautiously:
"Although Zhao Wuji is good at using evil magic to deceive people, his martial arts are very powerful. We have seen him perform martial arts and even rub a whole piece of gold into gold sand. His body movements are also incredibly fast. In just a blink of an eye, he can fly ten feet away, just like ."
Kou Zhong nodded and said:
"Zhao Wuji said that he admired our talents and skills and wanted to recruit my brother and me. The price he offered was to take us to meet Yang Guang. He even said that he could take us as his disciples and teach us the 'Xiantian Gangqi'.
“But we think that he might be coveting Yang Gong’s treasure house, and wants to use our connections to try to conquer the Bamboo Flower Gang, a large local gang in Yangzhou.
"We saw that he was scheming, founded a sect to deceive people, and acted in an evil way, so we never agreed to join him.
"In order to show his magnanimity, he did not force the two of us to join the Tianli Sect.
"But if Zhao Wuji knew that we had reached a deal with you, Master Ni, he would probably be angry and embarrassed, which would be bad for Master Ni."
Xu Ziling said: "If Master Ni feels that it is not worth offending Zhao Wuji for this, the deal can be cancelled and we can find another way."
"Zhao Wuji of the Tianli Sect..."
The guy in The Legend of Su Qier?
Ni Kun laughed and shook his head:
“It’s okay. Although I’m unknown in the martial arts world, I’m not afraid of a cult leader.
"Don't worry, the transaction will continue. If Zhao Wuji wants to get angry, just tell him to come at me."
