The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

Phantom

The empress looked at the letter sent by Anton Jun. The hand holding the letter was shaking, and the jade fingers of the other hand were clenched together tightly. She looked panicked and a little at a loss.

"Zhao Zhao's personal letter"

"I don't know when I can come out of this retreat. In the Central Plains, the matter of strengthening Qi can be put on hold.

Remember to build high walls, store up food, and slow down the fight for hegemony. When Guanghan arrives in Qi, you can cooperate with them privately. Remember that this matter is top secret...

……

If possible, next time we meet, I hope you will wear the jade hairpin I gave you.

If possible, next time we meet, please play a song of "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" for me.

If possible, next time we meet, you can hold my hand and grow old with me."

Below the letter were several books with words about military and politics.

After reading the letter, Li Zhaozhao was silent for a long time before he decided to write a reply before things could no longer be undone.

While thinking, he picked up the brush with his right hand, lightly tapped the inkstone, brought up a little ink, and rubbed the brush repeatedly on the edge of the inkstone to press the ink. After repeating this action several times, he finally made up his mind to write.

"The empire is falling apart, and the emperor is about to be born. You should not use your extraordinary abilities for this matter. Instead, you should be obsessed with love.

If you are willing, next time you come to Qi, you can choose any position in the three provinces and six ministries of Qi, okay?"

Twelve Caves

"Master, besides the God of War, do you have any other secret techniques to strengthen your body?"

Anton Jun always felt that this might not be enough, so he asked the Lord of the Great Cave, Rao Jiang, if he had any other secret techniques.

The chief cave master pondered for a while, and then remembered the legendary figure.

"There is a secret technique called "The Body is Entangled with Ten Thousand Poisons". As the name suggests, it uses the venom produced by tens of thousands of poisonous insects eating the body of the evil master to bathe the body. If successful, the person will be invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to all poisons.

According to legend, this was a technique practiced by Chi You, the "Lord of Arms". He was able to become so powerful precisely because of this secret technique. "

Anton just felt very familiar, as if it was something similar.

Oh, yes, Bingshenguaitan!

"Isn't this exactly the same as the Bingshen Monster Altar?"

“That’s true, but there is still a difference. The Bingshen Monster Altar uses insects to control people, and the sorcerer needs to use poisonous insects to drive them, and also sacrifice his five senses.

The Myriad Poisons have no such side effects, but it is said that the pain of this secret technique is unbearable. It is said that the current three-devouring punishment of Raojiang was born based on this method. (devouring the body, devouring the eyes, and devouring the heart)

So even though there were people who tried one after another, no one survived except Chi You. "

"Okay! I want it. Please help me prepare the things first. I will use these two secret techniques to retreat at the same time."

The chief of the cave hesitated for a moment, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he could only agree, "...Yes"

in a few days

In a dark cave, Anton Jun stood beside a pickled cabbage jar, and put the poison and liquid medicine into the jar. Then he could see his life-defining sword energy shattered into pieces, pouring into his body, protecting his heart, brain, and internal organs, and finally dissipating his internal energy, followed by a mouthful of blood.

"puff!"

He slowed down for a moment, propped up his weak body, looked at the liquid in the jar, swallowed the blood, then suppressed the discomfort in his body and fell in with a "plop". Then his pupils turned red.

As soon as he touched the mixture of medicine and venom, pain spread all over his body. Anton Jun's eyes suddenly widened and became bloodshot, as if they were about to explode. The mixture continued to erode Anton Jun's skin.

It was just as the chief cave master said, this kind of pain was unbearable for ordinary people, the mixed liquid was like a cancer attached to the bones, eating away at his whole body, even the places protected by the sword energy were not spared, he was completely unable to resist it.

He knew it would be very painful, otherwise so many people would not have survived. This kind of pain was even more unbearable than the pain he had experienced in these two lives combined.

He clenched his fists and tried to suppress his voice, fearing that people outside would know and worry about him.

About a quarter of an hour later, he couldn't bear it any longer and broke the jar with a punch, but it was of no use because the poison in the mixture had already invaded his body.

He lay on the ground, trembling with pain, rolling on the ground, his eyes turned red and then began to bleed. He covered his head and hit the ground with his fists, trying to vent the pain.

There were banging sounds in the cave, mixed with bursts of roars.

"what!!!"

Miao Chengtian was pacing back and forth at the entrance of the cave, praying non-stop. As soon as she heard the painful sound deep inside the cave, her tears could not be stopped at all, and she cried out: "Dongjun!!!"

As he said this, he wanted to rush in.

'The vitality gradually fades, and the yang energy dissipates!'

But Jiang Chen was unusually serious, because of her cultivation method and years of research experience, but the terrifying Yin Qi and death energy emanating from the cave just now still frightened her, and she hurriedly said:

"Stop her! I'll go in and take a look, you guys wait at the entrance of the cave!"

The two cave masters also held down Miao Chengtian's arms respectively. Not long after Jiang Chen entered, the noise in the cave subsided, as if nothing had happened just now. Now the breathing of everyone could be clearly heard on the field.

Seeing this, the chief cave master stopped trying to stop him. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and left, still muttering to himself.

"What a pity! Such a nice little kid..."

Without anyone stopping him, Miao Chengtian entered the cave as he wished. As soon as he entered, he saw Anton Jun lying motionless on the ground and the surrendered minister standing in front of him, and he was immediately disheartened.

Miao Chengtian took two steps at a time and quickly came to him. He knelt on the ground and held his cheek, saying in a trembling voice: "Dongjun, wake up, wake up..."

Because she had not yet practiced the Wave Mind Technique enough, she could only feel a very faint pulse after getting close. She felt that there was still a chance, so she transferred her internal force into Anton Jun's body while speaking.

"There is still a chance... wake up... wake up..."

But as time passed, Anton-kun did not get better at all.

"Please... wake up..."

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and immediately came up with an idea, saying, "Little girl, I have another idea.

The method you practice is the same as his, but given his current condition, if you want to save him, you will probably lose all your internal energy or even die."

When Miao Chengtian heard that there was an opportunity, his dim eyes glowed again. Without any hesitation, he turned to Jiang Chen and kowtowed to her while begging, "I am willing, I am willing, please save him..."

Jiang Chen was excited, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, then follow me."

Half a month later

Phantom

Li Zhaozhao was drawing in the yard with a pen. It was rare that there were not many important government affairs today, so she naturally wanted to relax.

As she painted, she frowned slightly and put the brush on the table.

For some reason, she always felt a little uneasy these days, as if something big was about to happen.

A breeze blew by, and Li Zhaozhao turned his head to look. At this moment, Xuan Jingtian walked in quickly.

"Report to the Queen, there is someone outside who wants to see you."

"who?"

"Mind Spirit Doctor."

Li Zhaozhao seemed to have thought of something, and his breathing rate unconsciously became faster, thinking: "No way?"

"Let her in."

"Ling'er you..."

After Nian Ling came in, just as she was about to speak and before she could finish her words, Nian Ling quickly threw herself into her arms and cried.

"Sister, I can't feel my brother's presence anymore, wow... do you know where he is? I want to see him, I want to see him."

When Li Zhaozhao heard this, her mind exploded and everything went blank. She didn't know what her expression was at that time. She just said to Nian Ling in a daze.

"Your brother is fine, don't worry..."

After coaxing her away, she returned to the room and took out the things that Anton-jun had given her.

"Why? How could such a person die? He said he would come back a few days ago. He was alive and kicking the last time we met..."

The delicate hands holding the jade hairpin tightened even more, not noticing that the slender fingers were turning white from the force.

I looked at the letters that had made me happy and sad before, but now I couldn't read the words clearly...

"No! No!"

After being sad for a while, the empress finally realized something was wrong when her mood calmed down.

"If that's the reason, then when Miao Chengtian came back a few days ago, she said, 'Master An has important things to do recently, so he doesn't want me to stay with him.'

This means that she had met Anton Jun and should not die. Cutting off contact with Ling'er might have been unintentional.

But why did he send Miao Chengtian back? Why? Could it be... because of the letter?"

Thinking of this, Li Zhaozhao felt that it was more and more possible. It had been so long, and even Anton Jun of the Twelve Caves was willing to take Miao Chengtian with him. But now Miao Chengtian was suddenly asked to come back. What important matter could it be?

As a result, my heart became extremely bitter, and a feeling of loss came over me.

问心

This is the ultimate path for those who practice the Heart Sword. If you want to break through, you must achieve it. The understanding along the way is deep in your heart. Only by surpassing yourself can you gain a stronger understanding. Then you will break the vessel and fly freely...

After entering the heart-searching place, Anton Jun came to a completely white illusion. In front of him appeared a man who looked exactly like Anton Jun, except that his pupils were red.

According to the explanation of the technique, the person in front of you is the darkest part of your inner self, and defeating him will allow you to successfully clear your conscience.
