Chapter 13 Young people are full of energy
"Qin Ziling, don't think you're so powerful just because you can fight with me for so long today! You're just a poor boy who trains your muscles and bones. You will never be able to reach the membrane realm in your life, let alone the strength realm. If I really want to deal with you, I don't have to do it myself. But considering that we all practice martial arts in the same martial arts hall, when the hall master goes to the inner room to have lunch at noon tomorrow, you kowtow to me and admit your mistake in front of all the apprentices and brothers, and I can consider letting you go. Otherwise, you will suffer in the future." Nangong Yue said.
"Nangong Yue, I know you are targeting me because I used to like Luo Yuke, but that's all in the past. We all learned from the owner, so why make things so unpleasant?" Qin Ziling said.
"Haha! How dare you tell me that there was an unpleasantness? Tell me, do you want to kowtow or not?" Nangong Yue said condescendingly.
"Nangong Yue, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. I'm still afraid of trouble. Besides, you are the master's disciple after all, so I don't want to make an enemy with you. But if you keep forcing me, I can only wait and see!" Qin Ziling said calmly, with a cold and vicious look flashing in the depths of his eyes.
Nangong Yue felt a little uneasy when he saw Qin Ziling remained calm from beginning to end . However, when he realized this, he felt angry and embarrassed instead.
"Hmph, let's wait and see!" Nangong Yue suddenly lowered the curtain.
Watching the carriage go away, Qin Ziling sneered and said to himself: "Young people are just full of energy! Don't poisonous snakes that don't know how to bite people always hide in the dark?"
After saying this, Qin Ziling paused and his expression became very surprised.
When did he become so old and sinister?
"I'm still influenced by that old devil!" Qin Ziling quickly shook his head with a wry smile. Although he didn't want to be a sinister and vicious person, he had to admit that because of the integration of the old devil 's residual soul consciousness, his character was still subtly influenced.
After leaving the city gate, Qin Ziling looked into the distance at the Wuyang Mountains, which almost half-encircled the entire county city and stretched for an unknown number of miles. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
It is said that the Wuyang Mountains extend from the county seat to the capital of Xiyunzhou, and are one of the 18 major mountain ranges .
The mountains are high and the forests are deep, where not only many birds and beasts live, but also exotic beasts live in the deep mountains.
It is said that the strange beasts are the offspring of the hybridization of mythical beasts and birds from ancient times that have long disappeared in the long river of history with birds and beasts.
Not only are these descendants not as psychic as the legendary mythical beasts and birds of ancient times, it is even many times more difficult for them to awaken their spiritual intelligence than ordinary birds and beasts.
Ordinary birds and beasts may have the opportunity to awaken their spiritual intelligence or even cultivate into monsters if they have the chance , but the hybrid offspring of mythical beasts and birds will not be able to awaken their spiritual intelligence unless they have a tremendous chance.
These descendants reproduced from generation to generation, and during this period they experienced countless cross-racial hybridizations, resulting in various exotic beasts with a trace of the blood of ancient mythical beasts and birds.
Because the exotic beasts carry a trace of the blood of divine beasts and birds, their flesh and blood are a great tonic for those who practice martial arts. The bodies of some exotic beasts are even excellent materials for refining elixirs or weapons.
But also because the exotic beasts carry a trace of the blood of divine beasts and birds, they are naturally powerful, and most of them are even very ferocious. Even martial artists at the level of strength would never dare to enter the depths of the Wuyang Mountains alone to hunt exotic beasts.
Even if there are three or five martial artists in a team, they generally only dare to look for opportunities in the periphery where strange beasts are active, and dare not go deep into the truly dangerous places where powerful strange beasts are active.
Therefore, exotic beasts have been precious things since ancient times. Except for wealthy families and prominent families, ordinary people simply cannot afford them.
Even in wealthy and prominent families, only the direct descendants who are cultivated with emphasis are qualified to enjoy the flesh and blood of exotic beasts.
"It is said that except for a few exotic beasts that have been domesticated and raised like poultry, even the weakest exotic beasts are comparable to martial artists at the strength realm. I have only tamed a bronze corpse now, and the maximum control range is only ten meters. For the time being, I should not think about hunting exotic beasts. However, I can barely drive things with my spirit and control the bronze corpse at close range. It should not be dangerous to go to some branches of the Wuyang Mountains or the outskirts to hunt some birds and beasts." Qin Ziling looked at the majestic and continuous Wuyang Mountains and thought for a while, then retracted his gaze and strode towards the direction of Anhe Village.
Anhe Village is surrounded by water on all sides. The river water can not only be used to irrigate the fields, but also be used as a "moat" in times of unrest.
Anhe Village is not a village with a single surname, but a village where people with different surnames live together.
This has a lot to do with the fact that Fangliao County was a frontier county in the previous dynasty. Because it required long-term military garrisoning, many family members and children from all over the country followed the army.
Later, with the change of dynasties, the Great Qi Kingdom expanded its territory. Although Fangliao County was no longer a frontier county and there was no need to station troops according to frontier standards, some soldiers and their family members and children had already taken root there and became native Fangliao County people.
Anhe Village is home to descendants of some of the soldiers stationed there at that time, so the surnames are quite diverse. There is no dominant clan in the village. Instead, there are three or five local rich families who rely on their abundant farmland and produce, and they employ some servants, and they have considerable influence in the village.
The Qin family was an orphan and a widow, so they were naturally a weak family in Anhe Village.
Fortunately, the Cui family is well-mannered and behaves in a dignified manner. They have always been on good terms with their neighbors. The Qin family's deceased grandfather was once quite prestigious in Anhe Village. Qin Ziling is learning martial arts in a martial arts school in the city. As he grows older, his body becomes stronger and stronger. No one in the village dares to bully the Qin family for no reason.
But an accident happened today.
Qin Ziling entered the village, and before he reached the door of his house, he saw Yin Ranyue running towards him, looking panicked and pale, with her hair and clothes a little messy.
Not far from her, there were two young men in brocade clothes, surrounded by six servants, fanning themselves with paper fans, chatting and laughing, and walking behind them at a leisurely pace.
Among the two young men in brocade clothes, one was extremely fat, and one could feel his flesh shaking when he walked.
The other one was tall and strong, but had a face full of pockmarks, a hooked nose, and a crooked mouth, giving people a feeling of being sinister and arrogant.
Qin Ziling recognized the fat young man. He was the local rich man in Anhe Village, Cao Gaoang, the son of Cao Zhengbin from the Cao family at the east end of the village.
The year before last, his elder sister was noticed by Xu Yuanwu, the young master of Xujiabao, who took her as a concubine. Last year, she gave birth to a big fat son for Xu Yuanwu. With the son's status, the Cao family also rose in prominence. They walked sideways in Anhe Village and looked down on everyone.
Qin Ziling didn't know the other young man.
