Chapter 51 Performance Test
The Jade Rat was dead, and the princess could not tell the academy what she had lost. This matter seemed to remain a mystery forever, and the only person who knew about it was lying on the bed, laughing secretly.
On the surface, the biggest gain of this trip was the official recognition of the academy and a promise from the senior brother, but in reality, it was the receipt of the
The moment Chengying took possession of it, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to flow into the already filled sea of qi. All the spiritual energy that Madam Xu was unwilling to accept after she had eaten her fill flowed into Chengying.
A small, faint shadow floated in the sea of qi, looking at Madam Xu from a distance. With the infusion of spiritual energy, the shadow slowly condensed into substance.
This also allowed Zhao Yushu's cultivation to directly reach the second level.
The improvement of his cultivation was naturally a cause for celebration, but what made him happiest was that he finally knew how to improve his cultivation.
Look for famous magic weapons, especially those that can leave a legend
Improving your own strength is your greatest reliance. The elder brother cannot protect you forever. For example, tonight, the elder brother was completely unable to save people. If it weren't for my awesomeness, I would have died at the hands of that Taoist priest.
Zhao Yushu secretly transformed into Chengying. Unlike Madam Xu's sharp shadow that hurt her eyes at a glance, Chengying was invisible to outsiders and was just a faint shadow in her own eyes.
Madam Xu can hide her spiritual power and never let it fluctuate until she makes a move. This completely lives up to the historical allusion that her true colors will be revealed when the final blow is revealed. So what is the effect of Chengying?
It seems that there is only a description, no story left.
Yes, it is impossible for every dagger to have the opportunity and honor to assassinate the emperor.
However, Chengying's own characteristics are definitely a magical weapon for assassination.
Lao Zhao made a light stroke, but not only did he not cast a shadow, he did not even make a sound. If it weren't for the Taoist's obvious hand gesture and his strong sense of crisis, he would have been shot through. Oh, he was shot through now, and there is still a bandage on his shoulder.
That must be the art of controlling a sword. I don't know if I can learn it. If I learn it openly, will people think of it? The little Taoist priest obviously values Chengying very much, and he will definitely try his best to get it back.
And the gestures of the sword-controlling technique are too exaggerated. Although people can't see Chengying, seeing your fingers waving like a gun, even a fool would know to dodge.
Sword control may not be suitable for you, maybe you need to find a technique that suits you
Wait a minute, until the storm has passed.
Tired, sleep
For two days and two nights, Zhao Yushu joined a group of top masters with his first-level cultivation, maneuvered among various forces, and finally used Mo'er's secret technique and Zhang Hong's powerful combat power to play a trick of sneaking through Chencang, and at the same time, he single-handedly defeated the little master and successfully rescued Shen Qixing.
too tired
It was dawn, but Zhao Yushu didn't get up and was still sleeping soundly. Not to mention how the detective used Shen Dabao's pigtail to blackmail him for some benefits, nor how Wen Jijiu shared the profits of this deal with the heads of various families. In short, all this had nothing to do with Zhao Yushu.
Then he was dragged out of bed, and when he opened his eyes he saw Liu Jijiu's old face.
"Morning, Uncle Shi"
“It’s past noon.”
"Huh? I missed lunch!"
Liu Jijiu snorted, grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and carried him out like a puppy: "Hurry up and wash up, and follow me to the barracks later."
Oh, I almost forgot about it. Zhao Yushu hurriedly brushed his teeth and washed his face, holding his rumbling stomach and followed Liu Jijiu out of the academy.
The two rode their horses and Liu Jijiu said calmly, "Did Brother Zhang help you yesterday?"
Zhao Yushu spent two seconds thinking about Zhang Hong and his fake identity: "Exactly, uncle saved my life yesterday. Has my uncle met my uncle?"
"Well, we had a small gathering for a while, then the teacher talked to him and then we dispersed."
After a pause, Liu Jijiu turned his head and said, "Brother Zhang said yesterday that you have the fifth level of external scene cultivation. How come I can't see it?"
Because he was talking about Moer
But Zhao Yushu planned to lie: "I have a secret method, um, that can disguise spiritual power."
As Zhao Yushu spoke, he activated Madam Xu and released his spiritual power.
Then he urged Chengying again, and the spiritual light became stronger, and the second heaven outside
Then the spiritual light faded, the fluctuations disappeared, and a mortal
Liu Jijiu's eyes widened, and after a long while, he suddenly let out a long breath.
Zhao Yushu was startled. You were so shocked that you forgot to breathe? Don't suffocate yourself.
"There is such a wonderful method in the world. I am really ignorant of it."
After sighing for a while, Liu Jijiu's face became serious: "It's my fault today. I shouldn't have asked about your secret method. I will forget about this matter now. Except for your brothers and sisters, don't tell anyone else in the future. Do you understand?"
Zhao Yushu scratched his head and said, "I trust my uncle, but why don't you tell Wen Jijiu and the Pavilion Master?"
Liu Jijiu was stunned, and wanted to hit him: "Teacher and uncle, of course you can trust them, just understand what I mean."
"Yes, I know"
I understand, but you still ask!
Liu Jijiu stopped talking, and Zhao Yushu didn't dare to talk nonsense. He rode his horse obediently beside him and galloped towards the camp in the north of the city.
According to Tang Dynasty law, the army was not allowed to enter the city except in times of war, otherwise it would be considered as treason. Therefore, there were only security personnel such as police officers and patrol officers in the Eastern Capital, plus the 500 guards of Prince Fu's palace who were specially authorized.
The guards responsible for the defense of the Eastern Capital stayed in the camp thirty miles north of the city.
General Cao was 45 years old and held the rank of the third rank. He was one of the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty and held a high position of power. It was also rumored that he was somewhat related to an unfathomable old eunuch in the Xijing Palace.
And he himself is just a monk from the third heaven of the outer scene
According to Tang law, the Sixteen Guards were all troops guarding the Western Capital, and there was absolutely no reason for them to leave the capital. However, since the Eastern Capital was designated as a secondary capital by Emperor Gaozu three hundred years ago, it naturally had the qualifications to be guarded by the Sixteen Guards.
"Although General Cao's cultivation is not high, he helped the previous emperor suppress rebellions and is quite proficient in military tactics. Although your master is of a very senior generation, he is too old. When you meet him, you must behave like a junior."
"My nephew understands"
Zhao Yushu thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, is this General Cao from a college?"
Liu Jijiu smiled and said, "What nonsense! The Sixteen Guards are all Xijing's trusted men. How could they let someone from the White Horse Academy be the general of the guards? Even if it is an academy, it has to be the academy of Xijing."
"There is also an academy in Xijing?"
"Nonsense, where doesn't there exist academies? It's just that our Baima Academy is a little bigger, has more talents, and the Pavilion Master has a higher level of cultivation. When people mention academies, most of them are talking about us."
Zhao Yushu suddenly realized that we are the top 1, while the other academies can only claim to be the top 2.
"However, General Cao has a good relationship with the academy, very good," Lao Liu said with a smile, emphasizing that Zhao Yushu was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile of understanding.
So the old man and the young man tacitly stopped talking and rode their horses leisurely into the Dongduwei camp.
A murderous aura filled the sky above the camp. Zhao Yushu looked up at the sky. Today was the day of test. Could the famous general in his previous life still shine like a star in this era?
