Chapter 496 Qin Zhengqiu's Visitors
Half an hour later.
When several jailers dragged the bodies of five death row prisoners out of the dark room and prepared to take them to the mass grave outside the city for burial, Wei Changtian was already sitting in the carriage heading back to Fuyun Inn.
After several exchanges with the remnant soul, he now has a more comprehensive understanding of Kuilong's situation.
According to the remnant soul, Daning did not actually set up a Kuilong branch.
Including Wu Tianqing and others who died on Yanyun Mountain before, as well as the seven second-rank masters who went to Fengyuan to pick up Li Wutong this time, they actually all belonged to Kuilong's "Bing Sanfen Du".
Bingsan, this naming method sounds quite random, but it is actually not random.
Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.
The ten heavenly stems represent that Kuilong divided all the places in the world where human traces have been discovered into ten major areas.
In each large area, there will be at least one and at most three branch offices depending on the situation, for a total of twenty-two.
Therefore, it can be understood that Kuilong divided the world into twenty-two parts.
The area covered by the C3 Division roughly includes the entire territory of Daning, Dafeng, and Dali, as well as a snow-capped mountain range further north and several islands in the sea to the east.
The territory of the Three Kingdoms ultimately accounted for less than one twenty-second of the world's area.
How big is this world, and how many forces and countries are there in it? Wei Changtian had actually anticipated this a long time ago.
After all, there are thirteen Sons of Heaven alone, and he has never even heard of the locations of most of them.
Of course, Wei Changtian had intentionally investigated those countries and sects before, and he was able to find some information.
But most places are too far away from Daning.
Apart from Dafeng where Bai Youheng is and Dali where Shen Ran is, the other closest Son of Heaven is Xu Suisui's "brother", Xu Quan from Daqian.
It would take at least half a year to travel from Daqian to Daning under normal circumstances. It is not an exaggeration to say that such a "world map" is "huge".
But even in such a vast world with countless diverse sects and gangs, and hundreds of millions of practitioners, only two people have broken through the shackles of the first level so far.
And no one knows where these two people are now, and whether they are dead or alive.
Thinking in this way, it is no wonder that Qin Zhengqiu caused Kuilong to make such a big fuss and even convened a meeting of elders . After all, he is the only one who has touched the threshold of the first rank in the past thousand years.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian inevitably shifted his thoughts to the now "highly-anticipated" Qin Zhengqiu.
Although he did not see the man wielding the sword in person that night when he attacked Zhenshan Camp, combined with the information provided by Han Zhao, he was already certain that the man was indeed his own grandfather.
As Qin Zhengqiu reappeared in such a "earth-shattering" way, more and more mysteries surrounded him.
Why was he able to practice the Tiaoyue Sword from the entry level to the great perfection in just three months?
How much role did the sword left by Old Zhang play in this?
When I wanted to give him the real dragon forehead scales, why did he refuse to accept it? He had already "accomplished his divine power", so why didn't he show up? Did he "kill" me with that sword that night intentionally or unintentionally?
All these questions can undoubtedly be answered if Qin Zhengqiu can be found.
But the problem now is that Wei Changtian can't find his grandfather at all.
This seems normal.
After all, Qin Zhengqiu is not the undisputed number one in the world now, but he is at least the third if those two first-grade masters and the true immortals from a thousand years ago are still alive.
It's not easy for such a master to hide his whereabouts. Under normal circumstances, no one would know unless he showed up on his own initiative . Wait!
In the bumpy carriage, Wei Changtian's expression suddenly showed a moment of surprise.
Maybe, someone really knows where he is. Anzhou, Cangmiao Mountain.
The sky is vast and the smoke is endless.
Such a mountain name is undoubtedly very majestic and mysterious, but what does not match it is its short appearance.
The altitude of only a few hundred meters means that it is just a low mountain.
Looking around the entire mountain, there is no wonder or strange thing worth mentioning. There is not even a Taoist temple or mountain temple to be seen. There are only sparse old trees and the occasional dense bamboo forest.
However, in this unnoticed hill, currently resides the world's number one master.
“.”
“Crack! Crack!!!”
The bamboo house hidden by green bamboos was not big, and there were constant sounds of explosions coming from all around.
Along with every explosion, fine lines would appear on a piece of green bamboo, as if it was cracked by some invisible force.
This situation lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before it slowly calmed down.
The wind whistled through the bamboo leaves, shaking them for a while and then stopped moving.
Qin Zhengqiu in the room finally slowly raised his eyelids, and there was a rare clarity in his bloodshot eyes.
He was not practicing just now, but was actually fighting against the "demon in his heart".
And this situation has been going on for a long time.
From occasional attacks to daily attacks, and now to having to use internal energy to suppress his inner demons every two hours, Qin Zhengqiu has been tormented by the increasing severity of the attacks.
But he had to do this, otherwise he would fall into a state of "seemingly me but not me", and it would be several times more difficult to regain rationality.
Like me but not me.
This state may sound a little difficult to understand, and seems to be different from the traditional kind of "madness".
And this is indeed the case.
Once he falls into this state, Qin Zhengqiu actually still retains his memory and thinking, and does not completely lose his rationality.
But a certain desire in his heart will be extremely magnified at this time, even to the point where it can overwhelm everything.
What exactly are these amplified desires? And what does it have to do with his attempt to kill Wei Changtian? We will talk about this later.
Because at this moment, just as Qin Zhengqiu had just suppressed his inner restlessness, a man and a woman actually walked out of the bamboo forest and walked along the path towards the bamboo house.
Although Cangmiao Mountain is a small mountain, there are some mountain products and game in the mountain. Occasionally, villagers from the surrounding areas will go up the mountain to try their luck.
So even though Qin Zhengqiu had sensed the aura of these two people a long time ago, he didn't care at first.
Until the two men got closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of the bamboo house.
“.”
Without moving, he glanced at the bamboo door with some annoyance.
Even though Qin Zhengqiu was very close to the first level, he did not have the ability to "see through".
Therefore, he didn't know who these two people were, and he just shouted angrily in a deep voice with some annoyance.
"roll!"
“.”
“Pu la la~”
The loud shout scared away a few birds, but did not scare away the two people outside the house.
Although Qin Zhengqiu is still in a "normal" state today, this "normal" is only relative.
What's more, as the former "leader of the evil cult", he was not a very patient person.
He stood up slowly and walked to the door with a gloomy face.
If Qin Zhengqiu had not been unwilling to destroy the bamboo door, he would have probably killed the two men with a palm strike through the door.
And now. "Squeak"
The bamboo door was slowly pushed open, and when it was fully opened, the man and woman outside would surely die.
However, as if she had expected it, the woman standing in front of the bamboo house suddenly shouted in a crisp voice when the bamboo door was only halfway open: "Senior Qin, wait a minute!"
"I have something to tell you!"
"It's about Wei Changtian!"
