150. Broken Knife
The forest was filled with the smell of ashes, and a light mist lingered among the trees. The two war horses were tied up alone in an empty place, which was particularly strange.
Chen Ji, carrying the white carp on his back, crossed the rugged mountain road and came to the side of the warhorse. He saw a cowhide water bag hanging next to the saddle and a bag of roasted soybeans in the saddle bag.
Horses, water, and food are all here.
Chen Ji turned around and looked behind him, and suddenly asked, "You also heard the ballad that Mr. Feng sang just now. Has anyone heard of it before?"
The prince shook his head: "Never heard of it."
Bai Li also replied: "It's more like a country slang song."
Zhang Xia pondered for a moment: "Building, planning, getting married. Gen Palace is in Fu Yin, Kun Palace is in Fan Yin, Xun Palace is in the tomb, Zhen Palace is suppressed, and life continues... This is the formula for the Sheng Men in Qi Men Bagua."
Chen Ji murmured: "The door to life..."
He turned around and saw a line of small words carved on the tree trunk where the warhorse was tied: "The agreement is valid."

Zhang Xia also saw it and asked curiously, "What does this mean?"
Zhang Xia looked at Chen Ji deeply. This line of small words was clearly written for Chen Ji.
At this moment, Chen Ji thought in his heart that the so-called agreement probably refers to what Mr. Feng had said to him before: as long as he follows the other party's work, the other party can help him fulfill a wish.
Could it be that the other party left these two horses as a gesture of goodwill to recruit them?
But how could he possibly turn to the Liu family?
The Liu family is an enemy of the imperial court and is doomed to fail.
Chen Ji put the white carp on the ground, took off the water bag from the saddle and handed it to her: "Princess, have some water."
The prince was puzzled: "What if it's poisonous?"
Chen Ji shook his head: "If Mr. Feng wanted to kill us, there would be no need for such a roundabout way."

As he spoke, Zaozao had already put his head into the bag and was chewing the soybeans inside in big mouthfuls.
Upon seeing this, the prince quickly reached into his bag, grabbed a handful of soybeans, and stuffed them into his mouth. He sighed with a puffed mouth, "I never thought I, Zhu Yunxi, would be reduced to snatching food from a horse's mouth. Not to mention, these beans are fried and smell delicious."
Chen Ji stood aside and asked curiously, "Miss Zhang Er, is there any other story about Mr. Feng? He disappeared after the palace examination. Did no one see him again? Where are his parents?"
Zhang Xia thought carefully for a moment and said, "I haven't heard anyone mention this."
This only made him more confused.
The image of Mr. Feng, which had been clear in his mind, became blurred again.
This Mr. Feng seems to be hidden at the bottom of a calm lake. When you want to touch him, you will first hit the surface of the lake, causing ripples on the surface, and you will not be able to see Mr. Feng at the bottom of the lake.
But why did the other party mobilize such a large force?
To kill the golden pig and the Pegasus?
At this time, Mr. Feng calmly descended the mountain. Does that mean that the Golden Pig and Pegasus...
Wuyun meowed softly in his arms.

Chen Ji, carrying Baili on his back, suddenly looked towards the mountain, and reached out to Zaozao's saddle, tightly gripping the handle of the whale knife.
Zaozao turned to look at him, but was suddenly frightened by his eyes and aura, and took a few steps back.
It was these few steps that allowed Chen Ji to naturally pull out the whale knife from the saddle.
The next moment, the Golden Pig's voice rang out, seemingly complaining to the Sky Horse, "I told you to run away earlier, but you refused. When Mr. Feng appeared by Elder Liu's side years ago, he came face to face with Master Wu Xiu, and Master Wu Xiu chose to avoid him. Why did you rush in to join in the fun? Look at how bloody he's been..."
"That kid Chen Ji finally broke through... I'm about to return to the Dao Seeking Realm. Can you please stop causing trouble? Who is it???"
The figure of the golden pig coming down the mountain stopped and looked at Chen Ji and others as if facing a great enemy.
After seeing Chen Ji's face clearly, he said unhappily, "Why are you here? You scared me..."

Chen Ji also breathed a sigh of relief and slowly looked at the golden pig and Pegasus.
The Pegasus was dressed in spotless white and looked safe and sound.
The golden pig was covered in blood and had seven or eight wounds. It was truly a fight between gods and the little devils suffered.
Chen Ji hesitated and said, "Master Jinzhu, are you okay?"
Jin Zhu waved his hand carelessly, "I'm fine, just some minor injuries. That guy surnamed Feng is in a much worse situation than me."
Chen Ji hesitated and said, "Sir, Mr. Feng just passed by here, and I saw that he was fine."
Jin Zhu was startled and immediately became nervous: "Where? Where is Feng?"
Chen Ji explained, "We were hiding in the bushes when we saw him heading down the mountain. It was a little strange. He left with Jiang Yan, but left the two war horses behind."

"Gone far?"
"Gone far!"
The Golden Pig uttered an "oh," and his body relaxed. He sat down and collapsed on the ground. "Damn it. Why am I so unlucky to have to deal with you two?"
Chen Ji asked in confusion, "Master Jinzhu, weren't you guys fighting just now? How did it end?"
The Golden Pig said angrily, "I came all the way here to save you, and you really want me to die here?"
"no."
Chen Ji explained, "I'm just curious. Mr. Feng set up such a grand battle, deploying thousands of private soldiers, but why did it end so abruptly?"
Golden Pig explained, "Just now, he and Tianma were both unable to defeat each other. I tricked him into saying that Jiefanwei was on his way. Coincidentally, a burning tree fell between us, and he took the opportunity to retreat."

Chen Ji asked, "Mr. Feng, what is your path to cultivation?"
The Golden Pig hesitated for a moment: "I didn't see that!"
Chen Ji felt something was wrong.
Although the cultivation method is the biggest secret of the officials, they have clearly fought each other for life and death. With Tianma there, Mr. Feng will definitely fight with all his strength. How could he not see the cultivation method?
There must be something hidden in the Golden Pig's words.
Chen Ji asked, "Master Jinzhu, what are your plans next?"

Golden Pig sat up and cursed, "I have to hurry back to Luocheng with Tianma and mobilize the Jiefan Guard to raid this military town. Even if the Liu family has absolute power in Yuzhou, they can't hide this."
As soon as he finished speaking, a snowflake floated down from the sky and gently landed on Baili's hair.
She reached out to pick it, but the snow melted at her fingertips.
Chen Ji looked up and saw that the sky had been covered with haze without him noticing.
The snow grew heavier and heavier, until it finally became as heavy as goose feathers. Even the wildfires were suppressed by this sudden heavy snow.
Golden Pig stood up, turned around, and walked down the mountain. "Chen Ji, you guys go to Luhun Villa and wait for reinforcements. On the way here, I saw Prince Jing's Thousand Years Army mobilizing. If I see the Thousand Years Army on my way back, I will inform them of your whereabouts."
After saying this, he and Pegasus disappeared while flying over the mountains and forests.

Chen Ji helped Bai Li onto the warhorse and turned to Zhang Xia, saying, "Second Miss Zhang, please ride with the princess and take good care of her."
Zhang Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't need you to remind me."
The four mounted their horses.
Bai Li leaned weakly against Zhang Xia and said, "Chen Ji, write a poem."
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Princess, how can I write poetry?"
Bai Li said softly, "Write one."
"I really can't!"

Chen Ji pulled the reins and turned back,
The light passed through the drifting snow and looked at the devastation on the mountain.
After a long time, he turned around, holding the knife in one hand and the reins in the other, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and rode into the wind and snow.
In the forest, the golden pig was walking down the mountain quickly and suddenly stopped, crashing into the snowflakes.
In an instant, a huge airflow broke the original trend of the wind and snow.
Tianma stopped beside him and gestured with sign language: "What?"
Golden Pig narrowed his eyes slightly. "The snow is so heavy. I'm afraid that by the time we come back, some of the traces will have been covered up and it will be hard to find them."

Tianma was puzzled: "What traces?"
Jin Zhu answered the question irrelevantly. He used sign language to ask, "Have you ever seen an officer break through in the middle of a battle?"
Tianma gestured as if it was a matter of course, "I broke through once, the night I entered the Dao-seeking realm from the Xiantian realm, with Jiang Liuxian."
The Golden Pig gestured again: "Have you ever seen anyone achieve two breakthroughs in one night?"
Tianma: Impossible, it’s not recorded in the Jiefanlou document library.
The golden pig gritted his teeth: Damn it, someone pretended to be a pig and tried to eat the tiger.
Tianma corrected: Pretend to be a pig and eat the pig.

The golden pig looked at Tianma speechlessly.
He turned around and took another route, heading up the mountain.
At this time, the heavy snow was like a blanket, covering the wildfire.
All that was left in the forest were black charcoal, corpses, and white smoke.
The Golden Pig walked around in circles, looking for clues while heading up the mountain.
Tianma was very patient and followed beside without saying a word.
He just frowned as he looked at his white boots stained with black dust.
After an unknown amount of time, the Golden Pig suddenly said, "I found it."

As he spoke, he squatted down and picked up a broken knife from the ground.
He raised the blade toward the sky and carefully examined the broken part. "This isn't a knife that was broken by an ordinary chop. If an ordinary iron knife couldn't withstand the force and broke, the crack would definitely be curved and irregular. But this one has a neat break, as if it was broken by a master."
Tenma: So?
Jinzhu didn't answer. He held the blade and handle of the knife, stood up and continued to search on the ground with his head down.
After a long time, he found three broken swords from the ground, all of which had identical straight cracks.
Tianma's expression also became serious: Good swordsmanship.
Jin Zhu stared at the broken knife in his hand, his expression uncertain. "Could it be the Liang family's sword technique? Liang Gou'er, while staying at the clinic, might have passed on this skill to this kid. You've fought Jiang Liuxian before, has she ever demonstrated this kind of sword technique?"

Tianma denied: No, the Liang family's swordsmanship is powerful, it only seeks the sword's meaning, not the skills.
Jin Zhu took a deep breath. "Where did he, a mere apprentice, learn such swordsmanship? Could it be from Imperial Doctor Yao? Damn, he spends all day hunting geese, and now he gets his eyes pecked by a goose. How shameful."
He now recalled that he had been in pain for three hours yesterday, which was clearly caused by the conflict between the two cultivation paths in Chen Ji's body.
Chen Ji knew it clearly, but he practiced Zhayun again and again to torture him.
A good way of cultivation was used by Chen Ji to transmit sound over a thousand miles.

The golden pig gnashed its teeth and said, "You beast."
Jinzhu looked down at the broken knife in his hand, staring at it intently.
It was not until the heavy snow fell on his shoulders and formed a layer of white that he took a deep breath, bent down, dug a hole, and carefully buried the broken knives in the black soil.
End of this chapter.
