Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 578: Seeking the Way to Immortality
The story performed by the actors actually started from Chen Xiangqian's childhood.
At the beginning of the story, Chen Xiangqian accidentally entered a fairy mountain when he was young, met a fairy master, and learned martial arts by chance, which laid the groundwork for the plot.
Soon, his eventful life began.
He started out as a rural thug, grew up to become the president of the Qingtian Society, and finally commanded a large army and became one of the rebel kings.
The story reaches its climax here.
Chen Xiangqian listened to his fellow soldiers and fell into a trap.
In desperation, he cut off his friendship and fought against the heroes.
Faced with his good brothers who had no regard for their past friendship, he seemed angry. He slashed a tiger with one sword, leaving countless soldiers with blood, and completely broke with the past.
This scene is tragic.
After all, I have to personally kill a good friend whom I have known for many years and grew up with.
For a moment, the soundtrack became somewhat sad.
His body was shaky, but he was still standing with the support of his long sword, and none of the surrounding villains dared to step forward.
Finally, Luo Ren snatched the longbow and prepared to take his life with one arrow.
The scene changed, and on a high mountain, an immortal in white clothes predicted that his disciple was in trouble.
He muttered, "Oh, forget it, I went against the will of the world, even if I lose a hundred years of my life, I shall not die!"
This immortal turned out to be Chen Xiangqian's master. He predicted that Chen Xiangqian would be in trouble, and even though it would go against his destiny and shorten his life by a hundred years, he still decided to save his disciple.
So, the immortal master flew thousands of miles away on his sword, came to the battlefield from the immortal mountain, blocked the arrow aimed at Chen Xiangqian with one sword, and killed Luo Ren who offended him with another sword.
"If you offend the Immortal's might, you shall be executed!"
As soon as the voice fell, the dignified King Luo Tian died.
Soon, the immortal and his disciples flew back to the mountain on their swords, and the show ended.
Those actors all had some martial arts skills and acted very realistically. The plot was also very compact, which drew endless applause. Lin Qianxing also raised his hand and gave them some silver as a reward.
Liu Shu looked at Lin Qianxing and asked, "Are you really willing to shorten your lifespan by a hundred years just to save your disciple?"
Lin Qianxing was amused. He said, "How is that possible? This is all drama. Besides, even if I really shorten my lifespan by a hundred years, so what? I don't need that hundred years of lifespan."
Liu Shu looked at Lin Qianxing's face which had never changed, and she believed it in her heart.
But precisely because she believed it, she felt an inexplicable sense of sadness.
Because she is old.
Lin Qianxing was keenly aware of this and said, "Don't be afraid, you won't get old as long as I'm here."
"Birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all human beings. It's okay. You don't have to make things difficult for yourself." Liu Shu comforted Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing held her hand, not knowing what to say.
When leaving the theater, some people were still discussing the truth of this story.
Everyone thinks that there is a lot of artistic processing, but they don’t know that most of it is real.
Lin Qianxing guessed that it was probably a soldier who had fought in the war who survived to the present day and described the story, and by chance, these opera singers wrote a script and performed it.
But he didn't care about that. The story was exciting and he enjoyed reading it, and that was enough.
Time continues to pass.
Ten years have passed since the establishment of the State of Jiang.
Over a ten-year period, the exchanges between Jiang State and Yu State became increasingly close. The two sides entered a honeymoon period, with caravans traveling frequently between the two countries.
Lin Qianxing witnessed the most such things in Liguan.
On this day, Lin Qianxing and Liu Shu received bad news.
Liu Zurong passed away.
He is now eighty-three years old, which is not really young.
His life experience was also extremely wonderful. He experienced so many years of war, but he always lived a good life. He can be said to be a representative of good luck.
Liu Shu was a little sad. Her three sisters came from far away to see Liu Zurong off after receiving the letter.
After seeing Liu Zurong off, Liu Shu's attitude towards Lin Qianxing changed.
She realized that perhaps Lin Qianxing would send her away sooner or later.
Liu Shu sat in front of the bronze mirror in a daze.
Although she was well maintained, there were already many wrinkles on her face.
Lin Qianxing is still young, even younger than before.
Lin Qianxing now doesn’t even have a beard on his face.
She began to deliberately distance herself from Lin Qianxing, hoping to end their relationship in this way.
It is obvious that we cannot continue to live like this.
Lin Qianxing said: "Give me ten years, and I will find a way to immortality for you."
Having said that, he left.
Lin Qianxing broke his promise to Liu Shu.
But it is also a helpless move.
Because he had to go.
Internal breathing martial arts cannot prolong life.
Spiritual cultivation cannot prolong life.
Spiritual energy could be used, but the spiritual energy in the world is so thin nowadays that it is not easy for Lin Qianxing to grow some spiritual medicine. If he gave it all to her, it would only be a temporary solution and not a cure.
Lin Qianxing needs to find a being with purple energy and obtain it to find the possibility of immortality for Liu Shu.
After he left, Lin Qianxing searched for two years.
To obtain purple energy, Lin Qianxing needs to meet the right person at the right time and satisfy the other person's needs.
Even if it is just a simple condition screening, he needs to spend a lot of time.
Not to mention so many conditions.
So it is very troublesome to find it.
He could only try his best to find heroes and famous people, and go to their homes to ask them about their ideals, needs and so on.
Most people often don’t have the purple energy to give back to Lin Qianxing.
Instead, Lin Qianxing got the nickname "The Guest Who Sends You Away" during this process.
Renzhou.
Lin Qianxing was sitting in an inn drinking tea.
This inn is located in a remote area, deep in an alley.
The guests who come here are naturally not ordinary people.
They are all warriors who know some martial arts.
The Jiang Kingdom has relatively strict control over warriors.
There are requirements for carrying weapons on the street. If they exceed a certain size, you are not allowed to do so.
There is also the [Iron Chain Division] that specifically deals with warriors.
Once you are wanted by the Iron Chain Order, those people in the Iron Chain Division will kill you no matter where you escape.
They had great power and were directly under the emperor. Sometimes they could even act on urgent matters and execute people first and report later.
Because of this, many innocent lives have been lost at their hands.
However, if it weren't for their existence, the Jiang Kingdom would not be so peaceful today.
At least the common people will rarely encounter people who act arbitrarily by relying on their military force.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the lobby of the inn was a little solemn.
Because the young man sitting in the middle had an iron chain around his waist.
He is from the Iron Chain Division, and the other gangsters who came to drink tea might have also committed crimes.
If a cat enters a pile of rats, the people here will naturally feel uncomfortable.
"Xi Wenbin, your knife is good." Suddenly, the young man from the Chain Division said to a man behind him.
There was a butcher knife on the table of the man behind him.
The knife was now wrapped in a cowhide scabbard, but the handle was still stained with some blood, not sure if it was pig blood or some other kind of blood.
"That's right, he is an expert at killing pigs." Xi Wenbin said lightly.
" What about killing people?" asked Zhang Zengyun.
"Murder... I haven't killed anyone yet." Xi Wenbin said.
"How did the eighteen members of the Jiang family die?" Zhang Zengyun picked up the teacup and asked with a smile on his face.
"Human? They are all beasts!" Xi Wenbin said, "I have worked for the Jiang family for ten years, working hard without complaint. I just wanted to redeem myself and live a good life with my wife. Not only did Master Jiang not allow it, he also raped my wife. For such an insult, should he die? Should the people in his family die?"
"Whether you deserve to die or not is not up to you or me. You will know after you go to the Iron Chain Division." Zhang Zengyun said, "I don't know where you learned martial arts, but if you plan to resist, be careful that my men will not show any mercy..."
As soon as the word "重" came out, the butcher knife was unsheathed, and at the same time, the iron chain around the young man's waist was also pulled out.
clang clang~!
The weapons clashed and the surrounding tables and chairs were instantly shattered.
Those who were drinking tea all hid aside, but Lin Qianxing remained calm and didn't even glance at this side.
Hot air gushed out of Zhang Zengyun's mouth, and the iron chain in his hand was wielded like an arm under the infusion of internal energy. He swung it tightly and blocked Xi Wenbin's butcher knife away from his body.
Amid sparks flying, the two men had already exchanged dozens of moves.
The more Zhang Zengyun fought, the more frightened he became.
He came from the Chain Department.
Ordinary people dare not even imagine how horrific the hardships they have to go through.
Although he is young, his muscles and bones have been tempered by the body-tempering potion for more than eight years, becoming extremely strong. Combined with his experience in the Iron Chain Division, his strength has reached the peak of the second-rate.
The Xi Wenbin in front of him was just a servant of the Jiang family who slaughtered livestock. How could he have the strength to be compared with him?
And the most outrageous thing is that the evil-locking iron chain made of fine iron in his hand was actually at a disadvantage after several collisions. If he had not used his internal energy to protect it, the chain would have been cut off by the opponent's butcher knife.
Bang!
Zhang Zengyun was kicked and flew away, smashing a table. He fell to the ground with disbelief on his face.
"Are you surprised? I have killed pigs and sheep for so many years, and I thought there was a big difference between killing people and killing animals. But when my knife chopped on the body of the master of the Jiang family, I realized that there is actually no difference between killing people and killing pigs and sheep. People and animals are the same. As long as they are killed, they will die..." Xi Wenbin said.
A cold light flashed from the blade of his butcher knife, as if agreeing with his words.
"Psychic weapon?"
Zhang Zengyun was dumbfounded.
The butcher actually had a psychic weapon in his hand.
There aren't many of these things in the Chain Department.
It is difficult for inanimate objects to give birth to spirituality.
Only in extremely special circumstances can a psychic weapon be born.
Of course, there is a quick way.
That is killing.
Living creatures often possess rich spirituality. If enough living creatures are killed, their obsessions at the time of death will be attached to the objects, and gradually, the objects will be given spirituality.
However, the spirit of the weapon created in this way will have a great impact on the owner of the weapon.
If one's mind is not strong enough, one will be bewitched by the spirit of the weapon, becoming irritable and violent, and easily committing murder.
"It seems that you are also a beast." Xi Wenbin said.
At the same time, his knife was raised.
With a cold light and internal energy attached, the butcher knife chopped down straight away.
Zhang Zengyun tried to block with the iron chain in his hand, but at the critical moment, he didn't have time to circulate his internal energy. Without the protection of his internal energy, the iron chain broke at the touch of a finger.
Just as the blade was about to fall on him, a hand stretched out.
With just two fingers, the butcher knife was gently stopped from moving forward.
Zhang Zengyun turned his head and saw that it was the young man in white who had been sitting next to him drinking tea who had taken action.
"The weapon is a good one, but if your mind cannot control it, it will harm you." Lin Qianxing said to Xi Wenbin.
"You are a beast too?" Xi Wenbin said with red eyes.
He tried hard to draw the sword, but the sword did not move at all at Lin Qianxing's fingertips.
Lin Qianxing shook his head slightly, and with a flick of his left hand, a stream of internal energy flew out, knocking Xi Wenbin out directly. After he fell to the ground, his head tilted, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
