"Ji Daru, is there any way to cure the poison in this tiankeng?"
Lin Che stood proudly beside the cliff, gazing at a dark, deep pit at the bottom of the long canyon.
It looked like a bottomless abyss.
There was an inky black aura emanating from the surroundings, which seemed to have not dissipated for a thousand years.
This aura is very strange. It does not form a physical entity, but it is definitely unusual.
Lin Che had previously seen golden light rising into the sky from the imperial palace, and when he saw the imperial seal in the hunting ground, golden light also rose into the sky.
And now, there is an inky black light rising into the sky from under this sinkhole.
More importantly, he could be sure that this light was invisible to others but only he could see it.
This mysterious
"Almost...impossible."
Ji Bu looked like an immortal. The wind in the canyon blew his wide Confucian robe, and his face was full of sighs.
"Every few years, our academy sends students here to use their righteous energy to counter these auras. It was indeed effective at first, but over the past thirty or forty years, the effect has become increasingly weaker."
Ji Bu smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that the only Confucian sage in our Confucianism is now in a trance and has not woken up in sixty years. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to do it if he was asked to do it."
What a state of being in a trance.
The righteous spirit of Confucianism is already mysterious enough, but this legendary Confucian sage can even travel beyond the world.
It is said that his physical body is in the academy, but this Confucian sage has not woken up in sixty years.
If I hadn't been able to hear the Confucian sage's heartbeat every day, I would have really thought he was dead.
However, expecting the Confucian Sage to intervene was impossible. Even during the chaos in the imperial family ten years ago, when the princes knelt before the Confucian Sage and begged him to intervene, the Confucian Sage did not wake up.
"Ji Daru, if he becomes a Confucian sage towards you, you must help them. Please."
This sentence is obviously a compliment.
But Ji Bu was not humble at all, instead he said formally:
"Breakthrough requires great opportunity. A few days ago, your two war poems gave me a great opportunity. I can feel that I will break through at any time and become a semi-saint."
"Although it's not as good as the Confucian Sage, it should be enough to suppress the poison left by the Ten Thousand Demons Nation. Unfortunately, chance is too elusive. It's beyond our control."
"If one of your war poems were red, perhaps I would really..."
"Alas! This is the truth. There is no forcing it."
Ji Bu shook his head slightly, as if he felt regretful, but also as if he had let it go.
At his level, he probably wouldn't really blame Mo Zhaoxue, but just feel that he had missed an opportunity.
"Hahaha, Ji Daru, I think you definitely have a chance. If you miss an opportunity once, it will come again. As the saying goes--"
“When you think there’s no way out, you’ll find another village!”
Ji Bu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, those two sentences are amazing. Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be so insightful at such a young age."
Zhong Su, who was standing next to him, repeated it twice and immediately said, "Brother Lin, are there only these two lines? What's the whole poem? Quick, quick, quick."
Looking at him, it was obvious that he was craving for cigarettes, but he had no cigarettes, so he had to ask his brothers for some.
"No, that's all. These two sentences just came to mind."
Lin Che felt awkward.
This is the consequence of reading a poem without memorizing the whole thing. He has no idea what comes first or what comes second.
However, even though it was just these two simple sentences, it was enough to make them exclaim in amazement.
At this time, Yao Wenkuiye had already supported Gong Qiu up.
Gong Qiu was covered in blood. It seemed that the punch just now not only broke his hand, but also caused a blood mist to burst out from the pores all over his body.
In other words, he had reached the sixth level of flesh and blood regeneration. If he had reached the fifth level, he would have been torn into pieces and his body would have been destroyed.
"Thank you, Marquis Guanjun, for showing mercy—I, Gong Qiu, surrender!"
From a distance, Gong Qiu clasped his fists and spoke.
Judging from his tone, he sounded weak and his fists were trembling slightly.
As for the other soldiers in the tiankeng, they were already frightened and didn't even dare to speak carelessly.
Lin Che's status and position were much higher than theirs. He held the imperial edict, and his cultivation was also higher than theirs. Yet, they were the ones who provoked Lin Che first.
How could he face Lin Che?
"Okay. As long as you're still alive."
Lin Che didn't say much. Since Yao Wenkui had gone to find Gong Qiu, he must have explained the general situation.
Then look around again.
The most important thing is to see the poison in these people. If it can be cured, he will definitely help treat them after they become his palace soldiers.
If they can't be treated, that's even better. I'll use them as a death squad. You're all going to die anyway, and your time is running out. Just fight for me and you'll get a pension.
Lin Che thought of something else: "We agreed on three punches. Is this third punch really necessary?"
Gong Qiu smiled bitterly, looking lonely.
"I'm definitely no match for the Champion. These two punches were enough to decide the outcome. I lost."
Seeing this, Lin Che did not show any smugness. Instead, he pointed to the cenote in the canyon and said:
"Come on, take us to see it."
Based on previous experience, this kind of light must be accompanied by something special. I don't know if it's a treasure or a demon, but I have to go and take a look.
Anyway, he is full of righteousness and is not afraid of being infected by this evil poison.
More importantly, with the great scholar Ji Bu following him, he definitely bought enough insurance.
