Chapter 107 Return Journey

  "Hah!" The general let out a loud roar, and with one hand, he forcibly pulled the massive mountain off his back and slammed it into the crack on the ground.

  What effect will be produced by adding the general's throwing force to gravity?

  "With a loud crash, the crack in the ground was instantly blocked, and half of Hei Xiong's body was pressed under the mountain."

  The black bear's fur stood on end in an instant, a pair of bear paws opened the mountain and split the rocks, earth and stones flew about, and finally escaped from under the big mountain.

  The black bear's face revealed a hesitant expression, looking at the already closed Gate of Heaven, his intention to leave had been born, but this iron tower-like general refused to let him go, what was he to do.

  This great mountain was displayed with the magical power of carrying mountains and driving away months, and it has already been blessed by a strange force. It is not an ordinary mountain. Although the black bear spirit escaped from above and below, its physical injuries were severe.

  After displaying such great magical powers, the general and the black bear spirit both took a deep breath. The general's face was flushed with red light: "You beast, you finally know the greatness of General Grandfather, don't you?"

  Hei Xiong Jing didn't respond and seized the opportunity to recover his body.

  Earlier, the big mountain collapsed, and the black bear spirit saw that things were not going well, wanting to dodge past, but unexpectedly a strange force field trapped it, its body as heavy as a thousand catties.

  "Are you saying that General will capture you alive, raise you like a pig, and make you constantly provide us with fresh blood, or directly kill you and take your fresh blood?" In the eyes of the general, this black bear spirit was just a pig, a renewable resource that would constantly grow meat, inexhaustible.

  "Haha, I've thought it through, it's better to just kill you directly. A big demon like you, we don't have a place to lock you up." After saying that, the general pointed his hand at a distant location, and the large knife flew into his hand.

  "First behead you, then go and slaughter those little rabbits," after finishing saying the big knife suddenly chopped down.

  The black bear had no choice but to run away and could only raise its paws in a hard resistance.

  "With a 'whoosh', a pair of bear paws flew high, and before the black bear could even let out a cry, it had already been beheaded by General Xia."

  The general's movement had just stopped. Then a soldier quickly brought up a large cowhide bag, and the bear's blood flowed continuously into the cowhide bag from far away.

  "Haha, from now on, whenever a son is born to our military household, we'll use this bear's blood to bathe and temper his bones, laying the foundation for his martial path." After saying that, he handed the cowhide bag to one of the soldiers beside him.

  The general stood up, looking at the beasts all over the mountains and fields, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Brothers, it's harvest time, everyone is free to kill the beasts."

  At the sound of the order, the town's army was like a swarm of bloodthirsty flies, buzzing as they charged up the mountain.

  "Having met Master Fu", the general saluted Master Fu with a bow.

  "I've seen the general, congratulations on the general's great harvest! This black bear is a great demon, in the future, there will be many talents emerging from the army." The master returned a courtesy.

  "Alas, the life of a warrior is crude and unrefined. Apart from going to war, what other path can one take? Unlike the sons of Confucian scholars, who not only can become high-ranking officials but also revered sages, truly enviable."

  Everyone carries the sedan chair with flowers, and this general can cultivate to the peak of spiritual power. It's not stupid, and it won't miss the opportunity to deepen its relationship with Qingyang Academy.

  "Haha, General, you're overpraising me. Protecting the country and home is still up to you military men." The master laughed loudly, although his tone was humble, but he still looked very pleased with this sentence.

  "Husband. General has an unreasonable request, I hope husband can agree." Town General said.

  "Oh, General, let's hear it out and see if I can make it happen." The master stroked his beard, not directly promising to take on the task.

  "My son is twelve years old this year, and he follows me to practice martial arts every day. However, he doesn't recognize a single character. As a military officer, one must keep up with the times. How can he become a general if he's illiterate? I've long known that Qingyang Academy has a great reputation and is home to many esteemed scholars. I'd like to send my son there to study for a while, and I hope you'll agree." The town governor's words were sincere, and the master couldn't refuse.

  Seeing others speaking so sincerely, if you refuse, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

  Qingyang Academy is the most powerful force in Qingzhou Prefecture, but sometimes it still needs to maintain a good relationship with the garrison's army in order to be as stable as Mount Tai.

  Besides, entering the Qingyang Academy is not a problem. This matter is simple and can be settled with just one word from the principal. I believe that old fox of a principal will be more than happy to give this general some face.

  "Since the general has said so, I will go back and make arrangements for the general. The general can go back and wait for my news." said Fuzi.

  "Then thank you, sir." General Li smiled upon hearing this.

  Speaking of which, last time at Qingyang Academy, it was dark and windy, plus the general wore a peculiar iron armor that wrapped his entire body, so I didn't get to see his face clearly. Now looking at him, this general's face is quite handsome, but it doesn't match his bloody temperament.

  "Fellow travelers, now that everything is settled at Qingyang Academy, I will be returning soon. Let's meet again next year." The master said, looking at the students of Qingyang Academy: "Everyone follow me, let's go down the mountain and find a place to rest for a while."

  A group of people walked away in twos and threes, compared to when they came, there were significantly fewer people, but those who survived were all elites.

  Yi Xiao Xiao and Li Xin Yi quietly followed behind Chen Jiu, after a while Yi Xiao Xiao spoke up: "Chen Jiu, the you inside is different from the you outside, why?"

  Chen Jiu turned his head and glanced at Yi Xiao Xue: "What's different?"

  "Your personality is overbearing, cunning and confident," said Yi Xiao.

  "Haha, this comment I've never heard of before, where did it come from?" Chen Jiu asked.

  "Refined and elegant gentleman" Li Xinyi chimed in from the side, but Yi Xiaoqiao didn't deny it, instead nodding in agreement.

  Chen Jiuxiao walked over the mountain slope with his hands behind his back, as if he were walking on flat ground: "That's because the environment is different. In that cave, if I didn't take a strong stance, I'd probably be bullied to death by the other forces, and not even my bones would be left. It's different outside, where there are many people stronger than me. One must know how to endure and keep a low profile."

  "Endurance, low-key? I really haven't seen it on you."

  Chen Jiu smiled and did not argue, about endurance and low-key, Chen Jiu had done too much. The eight years of shanzhai life told Chen Jiu that there was no most cruel, only more cruel, it was a society where one person ate another, the strong were king.

  "Fulin Inn" Chen Jiunan said.

  Just finished reading, the innkeeper rushed out: "Ah, it's the students of Qingyang Academy who have returned, welcome, welcome, everyone please come in".

  The husband and wife were quite familiar with this shopkeeper, presumably they had also stayed in this inn several times before.

  Chen Jiu looked at Xiao Er: "The woman is in a single room, and I am sharing a room with Brother Yi."

  Xiao Xiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but her lips moved without saying anything.

  "Tonight, I'm afraid there won't be enough rooms, so let's just make do," Chen Jiu said, following behind Xiao Er as he faced Yi Xiao.

  "These two rooms are yours now." The inn servant pointed at the two superior rooms.

  Chen nodded and pointed to the one on the left, saying to Li Xinyue: "That room is yours, I'll stay in this one with Brother Yi."

  "Quickly go and prepare three basins of hot water and send them into the guest room."

  "I don't want to anymore, I don't want to take a bath," Yixiao Xiao blurted out.

  Li Xinyi looked at Yi Xiaoqiao with a strange expression: "Brother Yi, how come you're so dirty? We haven't taken a bath for over a month now, you..."

  Just thinking about not having taken a bath for many days, Yi Xiao felt like there were things crawling on his body. But thinking about taking a bath with Chen Jiu was even more unbearable, so he gritted his teeth and pulled Li Xinyi to one side.

  Yi Xiao Xue Bai glanced at Chen Jiu, then pulled Li Xin Yi aside and whispered a lot to her. Li Xin Yi's eyes widened in surprise, followed by an exclamation, but was immediately covered by Yi Xiao Xue.

  They walked over soon after, Yi XiaoXiao happily embracing Li XinYue's waist: "You sleep by yourself tonight, I'll share a room with Li Shifu's sister".

  After finishing speaking, the two people walked in.

  Chen Jiu rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then suddenly remembered that he had once touched Yi Xiao's chest and couldn't help but sigh: "This is going to be trouble."
