Chapter 67 Grandmaster's Notes (You're so smart, leader, add 12 chapters)

The man stopped.

Looking at Chu Ning, there was no more awe on his face, but instead a ferocious look.

"Sir, although I am not as high-ranking as you, I have fought on the battlefield for many years, and I have killed more than two hands of Routu soldiers."

"I just didn't know you lived in this courtyard before. Why do you have to keep nagging me?"

"How dare you, as a subordinate, disrespect your superior. Just for this, I will kill you, and no one can say anything wrong. I will give you one last chance."

Chu Ning shouted so loudly that his voice could be heard outside the yard.

"If you think you have the ability, you may as well give it a try."

Wang Shi's eyes were full of ferocity. He was already at the peak of the seventh-grade martial artist, and the Ji Yang in front of him only became a captain by relying on the bow and arrow. He was not afraid at all without the bow and arrow.

If Ji Yang really dares to take action, he will let him know what it means to bring humiliation upon himself.

As for the accusation of insubordination, there were naturally people behind the scenes explaining it for him. Anyway, it was Ji Yang who started the fight first, so he couldn't just sit there and wait to be killed without fighting back.

"Stubborn and reckless!"

Chu Ning sneered and punched out.

"Your Excellency wants to kill me, please forgive me for having to save myself."

Wang Shi was smart enough to yell, but the moment his fists collided, his expression changed.

There was disbelief and shock in his eyes.

A crisp sound of bones breaking came from his fist, followed by pain in his entire arm. Before Wang Shi could cry out in pain, a hand had already pinched his neck.

"I'll give you one chance. Tell me who is behind this. Otherwise, you can die."

Feeling the murderous intent in Captain Ji's eyes, Wang Shi had no doubt that the words were false. That look... was too murderous.

"Yes... Captain Su asked me to do this. He said that Captain Ji had taken away his brother's position as captain, so he asked me to test you on purpose and vent his brother's anger."

Temptation?

Chu Ning sneered, probably just venting his anger.

Captain Su? If I remember correctly, among the dozen or so captains who came back together this time, there was one named Su, but he didn't show any hatred towards me during the journey.

Is he well hidden, or is he not this Captain Su?

"My Lord, I have offended you because of my ignorance. I will never do it again. Please let me go."

Kill this king?

After thinking about it, Chu Ning decided to let this guy go. After exchanging his military merits for his trip to the capital this time, he should be able to break through to the level of a military general. Letting this guy go would actually serve as a warning to those who wanted to cause trouble for him.

"roll."

Chu Ning withdrew his hand from Wang Shi’s throat. Wang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, bent over and retreated towards the door in a flattering manner.

When he did not kill the king, it was not because he was kind.

But the most important thing now is to go to the royal library, and other things can be dealt with later.

Half an hour later, the people in the military hall arranged dinner. The attitude of these people was obviously much more respectful than before, and even the manager came personally to ask whether the dishes were to their liking.

The next day.

The sun rises.

Chu Ning left the military station and headed towards the south gate of the imperial palace following the route the military station manager had told him yesterday.

There were four gates in the Liang Dynasty Imperial Palace. Officials entered the court through the east gate, while ordinary royal family members left the palace through the west gate. The library and armory were not far from the south gate of the palace.

In addition to salaries, Daliang officials also have contribution points, which are the same as military merit points. With contribution points, they can exchange items at the library and armory.

Chu Ning arrived at the south gate of the palace. There stood an old city wall three meters high. The wall was smooth and flat, paved with polished white jade. Ordinary martial artists could not climb up at all. And if the strong generals did not use their hidden strength to poke a hole in the jade to generate force, they would probably not be able to climb up either.

Although it cannot prevent military generals, anyone who climbs over the city wall will inevitably leave traces.

And every sixty breaths, a team of patrol soldiers would check the city walls. With such strict defenses, anyone who dared to sneak into the palace would be seeking death, unless he was a master-level warrior.

South gate.

The two tall stone pillars standing on both sides of the palace gate demonstrate the dignity of the imperial palace.

A team of soldiers was guarding the palace gate, led by two military generals.

Chu Ning handed over his ID badge and the military merit points document. After carefully reviewing it, one of the generals said, "Why are you here so early? The court hasn't rewarded you yet."

"Sir, I have reached a bottleneck in my realm. I would like to go to the library first to see if I can find a way to break through."

Chu Ning's answer brought a smile to the general's face. People who practice martial arts diligently are welcome wherever they go.

"How many are the numbers entering the palace?"

"0588!"

This number was given to Chu Ning by the General's Mansion before he came to the capital, and it is also his identity verification code.

This is to prevent someone from impersonating someone else and entering the palace.

At the same time when he saw this string of numbers, the General's Mansion would also use carrier pigeons to send everyone's verification code to the palace.

Another general took out a booklet from his arms, flipped through a few pages and nodded.

"Go in. Go to the library. Go right after entering the palace gate. Go left to the armory. Remember, stop immediately when you see the yellow line. If you dare to cross the yellow line, you will be killed without mercy."

"Thank you for your reminder, sir. I will keep it in mind."

Under the gazes of two rows of seventh-grade martial artists, Chu Ning strode into the palace gate, walked to the right, and soon saw the library.

A loft tens of meters high stands in front of us, extremely spectacular and magnificent.

There are also military generals guarding the door.

Just like entering the palace, Chu Ning was allowed to pass only after showing his badge and document of military merit.

As I climbed the stairs and entered the library, a faint scent of ink hit my nose.

The library has six floors.

But with Chu Ning's official position, he could only search for books on the lower three floors.

The first floor of the library has the largest area and the most books. Chu Ning was not in a hurry to look for skills related to the Blood Burning Technique, but walked to the row of bookshelves containing geography.

"Geography" is not only a book about the geography of the Liang Dynasty, but also a book about world history.

After some searching, Chu Ning found the two books he wanted.

One is the history of the founding and development of the Liang Dynasty. Although this kind of history book compiled by the contemporary court may be a bit crooked, we can still gain some insights from it.

In addition, there is another book called "History of the Development of Martial Arts in the Liang Dynasty", which records the martial arts forces of the Liang Dynasty, including the four major sects and eight major surnames.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There was no time limit in the library, so Chu Ning was not in a hurry. He took two books to the desk nearby and sat down to read slowly.

An hour later, he finished reading the first book.

Two hours later, both books were finished.

Chu Ning had a thoughtful look on his face. There was a very unique thing about these two books: they were broken! The history of the development of the Liang Dynasty only vaguely replaced the dynasties before the Liang Dynasty with the previous dynasties. It recorded the deeds of the Liang Dynasty Taizu overthrowing the previous dynasty, but there was very little description of the previous dynasty.

After Taizu, there is no record in the books about the previous dynasty.

The same problem exists in the history of the development of martial arts. The contents of the four major sects and the eight major surnames recorded in it are all contents after the appearance of Taizu.

The four major sects and the eight major surnames seemed to have appeared with the Liang Dynasty's founding emperor, and before that, martial arts seemed to have no existence in this world.

Did the author deliberately conceal the previous dynasty? No, that's not right. If the book on the development of the Liang Dynasty concealed the previous dynasty, it would be fine, but it was completely unnecessary to conceal the four major factions and the eight major surnames.

Those who can come to the library are all loyal to the royal family. It would be more friendly to those who read the history of the four major sects and the eight major surnames if the history is written in more detail.

In other words, the more detailed and secret contents are on the upper floors of the library.

Apart from his doubts, Chu Ning still gained something, as the latter book recorded the martial arts techniques of the four major sects.

Only then did he understand why the fourth-rank general of Wushuang Sect, who had only been a fourth-rank general for a short time, could pose a threat to him.

The martial arts techniques of the four major sects are all top-notch, and the power of their hidden energy far exceeds that of ordinary martial arts techniques.

Just as he had guessed, the purity of the dark energy would be much higher.

At the same level, the disciples of the four major sects are almost invincible.

After reading these two books, Chu Ning found a book on martial arts elixirs, which allowed him to understand the origins and effects of the two elixirs he had found from the disciples of Wushuang Sect.

The martial arts disciples took the Bone Tempering Pill, which is also available in the other three sects, but is unique to the four sects. Taking it can improve bone strength.

The stronger the bones, the easier it is to develop strong tendons and iron bones.

The pill that the generals take is called the Body Tempering Pill, which is a kind of pill that tempers the body. It can stimulate the body's potential and make the qi and blood more vigorous than people of the same level.

"This is good stuff, especially the Body Tempering Pill. If combined with the Longevity Fruit, my Qi and blood will grow again."

After six years, Chu Ning also knew the nature of the longevity fruit.

The energy released by the longevity fruit is related to the energy limit that the body can withstand. It does not mean that the longevity fruit will release the body's maximum energy, but it will release a certain proportion according to the limit that the body can withstand.

If your physical strength increases, the energy released by the longevity fruit will also increase.

After achieving the first goal, Chu Ning began to search for martial arts techniques or related martial arts notes related to the Blood Burning Technique.

No on the first floor.

There is no second floor either.

The higher you go, the fewer books there are, which makes it easier for Chu Ning to find them.

After a quarter of an hour, Chu Ning found a useful book on the third floor.

It is not the secret manual of the Blood-Burning Kung Fu, but the martial arts notes of a grandmaster, but only the first half of the notes.

A grandmaster's martial arts notes were of extraordinary value. Normally they would not be placed on the third floor, but on a higher floor. However, this grandmaster was a little special.

This grandmaster achieved a breakthrough to grandmaster level through practicing the Tiancan technique. There are very few people practicing the Tiancan technique, so the value of this notebook is naturally greatly reduced.

But this is not the main reason. The main reason is that this grandmaster practiced a kind of Tiancan technique that would cause him to lose his mind. His mental state became worse and worse, and in the end he completely turned into a madman.

Naturally, the notes of a madman are of little reference value, even if they are from a master.

But for Chu Ning, this is a priceless treasure.

On the first floor of the library, Chu Ning took the notebook to register. The old man in charge of registration took a look at the book and said in surprise: "Although this was written by a master, this person was already insane when he wrote it. Are you sure you want to spend 3,000 military merits to exchange it?"

"To be honest with you, sir, I am also practicing the Tiancan technique."

Hearing Chu Ning's words, the old man sighed lightly and walked into an inner room. After a while, he came back with a book in his hand, which was the second half of the Grandmaster's Notes.

“Return it after three days and do not show it to others, let alone destroy it.”

"yes."

Holding the upper and lower volumes of the Grandmaster's Notes, Chu Ning left the library without picking any other books and walked directly towards the palace gate.
