Chapter 42: The Coming Contest

An Zheng has implemented everything he can do and think of, so the next thing is to see their own efforts. An Zheng has a certain degree of confidence in his own coping strategy, and the only uncertain factor is Xiao Qidao. In case Xiao Qidao's physique is discovered by the people of the Phantom World Academy, then he may fail Aunt Ye's commission. Obviously, Aunt Ye didn't want Xiao Qidao to appear in front of those soldiers in Yan Kingdom, otherwise she wouldn't have left alone.

An Zheng asked Du to be thin and thin, and they ate and drank in the yard every day, all kinds of pastimes. This made all the people who were paying attention to the gambling outside a little surprised, and those who had the idea of an upset were happy, because they felt that this was a sign of victory on the side of the Martial Academy. Many people have increased their bets on the victory of the martial arts academy because of the performance of the security fighters. As the gambling game gets bigger and the days get closer, there are more and more people in the neighborhood, and it is said that the nearby inns have long been full.

An Zheng sat alone on the grass and stared at the small pond in the yard, he was actually more anxious than anyone else. Even if his strategy is right, Du Shou and Qu Liu'er can win, but if he can't guarantee victory, it will still be a disaster for the Martial Academy. Because he is the dean of this martial academy, he is the sect master of the future Heavenly Apocalypse Sect in the minds of Xiao Qidao.

"It's so distressing. ”

A voice that made An Zheng a little annoying appeared behind him, and An Zheng knew who it was without looking back.

Chen Shaobai appeared like a ghost, carrying a pot of wine in his hand and walked to the opposite side of An Zheng and sat down: "It seems that you are not sure, because you are actually weaker than those disciples opposite." I don't understand, since you are not sure at all, why did you have this bet in the first place? I have seen yourself die, but I have never seen you die like this. ”

An Zheng glanced at him: "Your mouth is so stinky." ”

Chen Shaobai sighed: "Does it stink?" I think I'm telling the truth. I don't have a good impression of you, and I want to kill you. But I am a principled person, you helped me kill Chen Pu to take revenge, if this favor is not repaid, I really can't do it. Now you beg me, I will go to the other side and kill all the disciples who can threaten you, so that you can win without a fight, wouldn't it be the best result?"

"I helped you kill them, your broken martial arts academy won, and the favor I owe you has been paid off. ”

Chen Shaobai lay back, lying on the grass with his arms on his pillow: "Kill two birds with one stone." ”

An Zheng: "You don't practice in the mysterious sect you said, why did you come to me?"

Chen Shaobai said: "Freedom, that sect has no constraints, so I can come back at any time." What's more, I'm really worried that you didn't die at my hands. ”

An Zheng: "You can get out." ”

Chen Shaobai: "This is your hospitality?"

An Zheng: "You weren't invited by me. ”

Chen Shaobai sat up: "You really don't plan to beg me, it's good for people to have backbone, but you don't have backbone, you're an idiot." Let me tell you one thing, there is a new disciple in the academy opposite, who named himself Chen Zhou, but he is my little follower Chen Qi, Chen Pu's son. He has obtained some power from my Chen family, so it is easy for him to play to death you now. But why didn't he come directly to you to take revenge, because he just wanted to humiliate you in front of everyone on the day of the competition. ”

"Please, you beg me. ”

Chen Shaobai: "As long as you beg me, I will kill them all." ”

An Zheng: "It's really casual to kill people in your mouth." ”

Chen Shaobai: "If you don't practice to kill people, what's the fun?"

He took a sip of wine: "How do I think you are more pedantic than those old gentlemen? Obviously, you are a bitter child, and you have been bullied by others, why don't you have a ruthless heart? Let me tell you, a person like you has no future in the future." The rivers and lakes are not ruthless and do not stand. ”

An Zheng: "I'm fierce, but I don't kill people casually. ”

Chen Shaobai: "It's as if you've killed someone, but it's up to you, you're such an idiot in your bones, and I can't save it." It's a hassle, this thing is for you."

Chen Shaobai took off a small bell from his clothes and threw it to An Zheng: "If you feel that you are going to die, ring this bell, and I will come to save you." I wish I had paid off all the bad favors I owed you now, and then I could torture you as much as I wanted. Peel the skin and cramp, and then put it in an iron pot to stew the soup, which is very refreshing to think about. ”

An Zheng looked at the bell, which was made of bronze and had some quaint patterns on it. An Zheng is well-informed, but he has never seen the pattern on this bell, like a very complex and distorted text, and it seems to be just a random cast pattern.

Chen Shaobai stood up and walked out: "If I were you, I would have more backbone and smash this bell on me." ”

Syllable!

The bell smashed into his back.

Chen Shaobai was stunned for a moment and turned around. Seeing An Zheng pick up the bell again, he put it back in his arms: "You said, you owe me." ”

Chen Shaobai: "Shameless, shameless." ”

An Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "Who isn't." ”

Chen Shaobai glared at An Zheng, and then put on the hat on his windbreaker, covering his head and face, and walked forward. He didn't go out, but walked straight towards the wall. When his body hit the wall, there was a wave of water ripples on the wall, and then Chen Shaobai disappeared. An Zheng took the bronze bell out of his arms, looked at it carefully, and always felt that there was something very mysterious behind the bell.

What is the mysterious sect that Chen Shaobai entered? An Zheng is the first seat of the Daxi Ming Law Division, and the Ming Law Division has a powerful intelligence department, and logically speaking, the Ming Law Division is the place where he knows this river and lake best. But An Zheng found that he still saw the world too shallowly. After being reborn, there have been too many people and things that he can't understand and can't see through.

Chen Shaobai seemed to be very confident that he could kill any disciple in the Illusory World Academy. In that case, why didn't he kill Chen Qi?

He knew everything about Chen Qi well, why did he let Chen Qi take away his things and be indifferent?

An Zheng didn't understand because it didn't make sense. All of this may be because of that mysterious sect.

An Zheng got up and touched the key on his neck, he subconsciously wanted to go to the anti-heaven seal to practice, and when he walked a few steps, he realized that it was not dark yet. His only hope is to also rely on physical training to reach the point where he can defeat the other party, but he knows how much Chen Qi hates him, and when he competes, Chen Qi will definitely find a way to face him and himself.

When An Zheng stood there in a slightly stunned manner, Lao Huo suddenly came out of the door.

"What's wrong?"

Ann asked.

Lao Huo didn't speak, and motioned for An Zheng to go back to the room. Not long after An Zheng entered the house, Lao Huo also followed: "Did you see someone just now?"

An Zheng: "You didn't see it?"

Lao Huo: "I didn't see anything, I saw you talking to yourself." ”

An Zheng's heart sank, and then answered truthfully, Lao Huo's brows furrowed even deeper: "Show me the bell." ”

An Zheng handed over the bell, and Lao Huo Zai looked at it carefully for a while: "There is a demonic energy on it."

"Demonic energy?"

An Zheng looked at Lao Huo suspiciously.

Lao Huo put the bell on the table: "You can't feel it, even a great cultivator can hardly feel it." That's because your perception of the apparatus is far less than ours. We are also sensitive to subtle changes. An Zheng, there are not only people in this world who are refining weapons like Xingpinlou, but also people who refine weapons and live in darkness. They use the most evil means to increase the power of the weapon, and they do everything they can. ”

"The things produced by the Righteous Path Refiner can be called Dharma weapons. And the kind of instrument refined by the evil way is called a magic weapon. Your bell is a magic weapon. ”

An Zheng really didn't know much about these things, and he hadn't heard of any magic when he was in the Ming Law Division. In An Zheng's view, the so-called demons are those wicked people. But from Lao Huo's eyes, he saw fear, a refining master, actually feared because of a small bronze bell, which was obviously beyond common sense.

Lao Huo looked at the bell, was silent for a while, and then said, "Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it." Anzheng, your luck is too strange. Entered Cangman Mountain to pick up purple magic weapons and get 100 acres of medicinal fields. It's bad luck, but now that I'm entangled with magic weapons, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. This luck is obviously not normal, have you experienced something so great that your fortune has changed?"

An Zheng laughed: "What big things can I experience, I am an orphan who lives in the city for a long time. ”

Lao Huo snorted: "Anyway, it's not normal, you should pay more attention in the future." There may be a lot of good luck of this or that, but it's not necessarily a good thing. Last time I told you, it's a blessing from heaven. But if the favor of heaven appears so frequently in a person, then it may not be the favor of God. When your good luck reaches a certain point, it may be the arrival of bad luck. Come to think of it, I only have one Heavenly Favor in my life, and that is my Starstriped Meteorite Iron Ding Furnace, but what will happen to me?"

An Zheng said: "I always pay attention, thank you seniors." ”

Lao Huo shook his head: "You don't understand, you really don't understand, how terrible such a thing is luck." You're not a refiner, you don't care about luck, it's just that!"

He walked out tremblingly, his back indescribably lonely.

An Zheng looked at the bronze bell on the table, and said in his heart, Is it really that weird? What is a magic weapon, a magic qi, and a magic way?

After Lao Huo left, An Zheng looked at the bell for a while. The bell really looks like it's normal, maybe it's just a communication thing, and it doesn't do much else.

After dark, An Zheng took everyone into the space of the anti-heaven seal to practice their bodies. The key to the Heaven-Defying Seal was hung around An Zheng's neck, so An Zheng could take them in anytime and anywhere, without going to the Nine Star Terrace. Otherwise, the secret of Jiuxingtai would have been seen through by those people outside. A purple magic weapon is enough for those people to give up the gambling game and go directly to the treasure to grab the treasure.

In the space of the Defiance of the Sky Seal, several children worked extremely hard. They kept practicing, resting for a while when they were tired, sleeping for a while when they were very sleepy, eating when they were very hungry, and then they kept practicing.

An Zheng worked hard to improve his speed and agility, which was the only way for him to win. If it is really Chen Qi who is facing it, the battle for peace may be extremely dangerous. Chen Qi was the gloomiest teenager An Zheng had ever seen, even more gloomy than Chen Shaobai. Chen Shaobai's temperament is more or less bright, but Chen Qi is only dark.

In order not to be exposed, they had to go out to sleep after cultivating for a period of time, and then continue to eat, drink and have fun during the day. No one knows if there will be masters entering the martial arts academy at night, and if everyone is not there, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others.

As the days passed, there was only one day left before the competition. When the sun rises tomorrow, it's the difference between victory and defeat. The night before, the streets were already full of people outside, and they slept on the streets with their blankets. A lot of people have made big bets, and the impact of this event has gone far beyond the competition itself.

This night, An Zheng had some insomnia.

He looked at the moon outside and clenched his fists.
