Chapter Seven: Speculation and Brotherhood

  Such a continuous gurgling sound, poured out at least seven or eight buckets of water, Zhan Zhao's whole body was already soaked through. However, Zhan Zhao had no way to do anything about it. Now his whole body felt somewhat sore and painful, although his strength was slowly recovering, but he still couldn't get up!

  Moreover, the five mice in front of him were clearly trying to get rid of the stains on their bodies. Xian Zhao secretly sighed, this was obviously a naked revenge, revenge!

  Finally, the five mice stood up straight, Lu Fang carefully looked at Zhan Zhao and found that the stains on his body had been washed clean. He smiled and walked forward to help Zhan Zhao up, saying "Someone come and clean the main hall of our Justice Union Hall!"

  "Nan Xia, let's go inside and discuss in detail!" Lu Fang smiled slightly, the other few old mice also followed up, and together with Lu Fang, they helped Zhan Zhao into the inner hall!

  Just as Zhang Zhao was about to take a seat, he suddenly waved his hand, and Lu Fang and the others were shocked. Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, clenched his fists, relaxed, shook his body, and instantly recovered four or five tenths of his strength!

  Zhan Zhao smiled, nodded his hands and said, "Thank you all!" Then, he pulled away Lu Fang's hand that was supporting his arm and walked unsteadily to his seat.

  "Zhan Mou has now recovered a bit of energy and no longer needs everyone's support, thank you!" Zhan Zhao sat in his seat and bowed to the crowd!

  Bai Yutang took a deep breath, walked up to Zhan Zhao, clasped his hands together and bowed, saying "Stinky cat... no, Nan Xia, I, Bai Yutang, apologize to you!"

  Zhan Zhao was shocked. Isn't this Jinmao mouse the one who claims to be the most charming person in the world? Isn't he supposed to be arrogant? How come he's so easy to talk to today?

  Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's expression, curled his lips, and thought to himself: Stinky cat, do you think Fifth Master would apologize to you? Looking at the gaze of the other brothers, if I don't apologize, I'm afraid they'll beat me up until I'm crippled!

  Besides, this matter was originally not Five Master's fault. Although Five Master is arrogant, he wouldn't be so stubborn as to refuse to admit his mistake even in death!

  Zhan Zhao hastily cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, White Five Chivalrous Guest!"

  "Nan Xia, no, I'd rather call you Miao Er, it's more pleasant to the ear!" Bai Yutang's expression suddenly changed, and he smiled, "After all, what kind of poison did you take that even your martial arts skills would be forgotten? Just now when Wu Ye's internal energy entered your body, there was no resistance at all. If Wu Ye had withdrawn his internal energy a little slower, I'm afraid you would have died from bursting your five organs!"

  "Also, just now you suddenly emitted a white light from your body, was that internal energy manifesting externally? And how did so many stains and dirt appear on your body?" Bai Yutang asked with a puzzled face.

  Zhan Zhao's eyes twitched, how did I know Zhan Zhao was poisoned? What internal force externalization, it was obviously that strange silver ornament. As for the stain, not clear!

  Zhan Zhao clenched his fist and said, "I, Zhan, have no memory of being poisoned. I only heard Mr. Gong Sun say that after being poisoned, I used my inner strength to protect my heart and returned to Kaifeng Prefecture!"

  "Could it be that even the Southern Hero has forgotten this matter!?" The five mice cried out in surprise, looking at Zhan Zhao's helpless smile, and yet they all believed his words.

  "What is called inner power outer display!?" Zhan Zhao suddenly asked.

  "Uh..." The five mice were speechless for a moment, no way, the Southern Knight in front of them wouldn't have actually become stupid after being poisoned, had he even forgotten the basic levels and rankings of martial arts?

  However, thinking about it, it seems that's also okay. If I've even forgotten martial arts techniques, then forgetting the levels of martial arts shouldn't be unacceptable either!

  "This is not to be discussed!" Jiang Ping suddenly said, his expression becoming extremely solemn. "Nan Xia, I ask you, after the white light similar to internal energy appeared on your body earlier, did those stains that suddenly appeared on your body come from within your body? Did you experience marrow washing and hair cutting?"

  As soon as this was said, the people in the hall stared blankly at Zhan Zhao, their eyes suddenly turning a bit green, like a pack of hungry wolves under the starry night sky!

  "Hey!" Zhan Zhao's face turned pale, and he suddenly said, "Everyone, can you please not look at me like that? It seems like all of you have...that kind of fondness for cut sleeves!"

  The five mice were suddenly stunned, and their five faces turned black at the same time. Compared with Lao Bao, they were absolutely comparable!

  Suddenly, Wu Mouse burst out laughing.

  "It's said that Nan Xiaozhao is a refined and elegant Confucian scholar, a true gentleman, who would have thought he'd make such a joke!" Lu Fang burst out laughing!

  The velvet mouse couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's been a long time since I've laughed so happily! However, it's also because the five of us were too impatient, haha!"

  The rest of the people all nodded in agreement!

  After a while, Zhan Zhao felt that his body no longer had any pain, and it seemed that all his strength had also recovered. He also smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, Zhan Zhao is fine now!"

  The five mice also stopped laughing, and Bai Yutang stepped forward, saying, "Cat, Fourth Brother just asked you something, but you haven't answered yet!"

  Zhan Zhao smiled, hesitated for a moment, slightly lowered his head, took out the silver ornaments on his body, and said with a smile, "The five of you mentioned that inner power can be externalized. If we understand it literally, then it means that inner power can manifest itself, but...you are all wrong!"

  Anyway, I don't know what this thing is. Since that's the case, it's better to let Wu Shu take a look. Maybe we can get some clues. Besides, with Wu Shu's character, he shouldn't be interested in this thing, right?

  "Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao spoke up, 'That white light was emitted from this silver ornament, as for washing the marrow and cutting the hair, I'm really not clear about it. What this silver ornament is, I also have no idea!'"

  Under the sunlight, the silver ornament seemed to emit a faint glow, shining on Zhan Zhao's face, and something flashed across his forehead!

  Wu Shu and Zhan Zhao didn't notice, Wu Shu just stared blankly at the silver ornament, neither of them spoke!

  Jiang Ping hesitated for half a day before saying, "I think I understand now!"

  "Fourth elder, what do you understand?" Lu Fang hastily asked!

  Jiang Ping paced a few steps, the goose feather fan in his hand swaying gently, and said, "It can't be confirmed, it can only be inferred. In ancient books, there were records of immortals, demons, and Buddhas. This silver ornament might be an object from the legendary immortal family!"

  "Huh? Ah, what?" Such an incredulous voice came from inside the room!

  Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, relying on the accumulation of experience from his past life to infer that this was no ordinary object. Unexpectedly, Jiang Ping actually said that it was recorded in ancient books!

  Is there really an immortal in this world?

  It can't be like this, right? It can't be like Journey to the West... Not scientific at all!

  But anyway, we've all crossed over, and it's not even human crossing over, but rather memory or soul crossing over, which in itself is unscientific...

  Jiang Ping's expression turned serious as he said, "It should be so. Nan Xiaoyao is currently unable to summon his internal energy and was severely injured by Fifth Brother's attack, causing damage to his inner organs. However, when I took Nan Xiaoyao's pulse earlier, his body was extremely healthy. It must have been the white light that repaired Nan Xiaoyao's body. If this object isn't a divine artifact, then Jiang Mou really can't think of any other explanation!"

  Wu Zhe and others all nodded.

  Bai Yutang took another step forward, "Cat, where did this thing come from?"

  Zhan Zhao blinked his eyes and spat out three words, "I don't know..."

  The white mouse with a black stripe on its head said, "Don't you still bear a grudge against me for hitting you, Fifth Master?"

  Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "No, Bai Wuxia is a straightforward person, Zhan Mou has never blamed him, but, Zhan Mou really doesn't know where this thing came from!"

  "Maybe in past memories there were, but now I really don't know!" Zhan Zhao's face was full of helplessness!

  Lu Fang smiled lightly and said, "Forget it. Besides, Nan Xia doesn't know about it. Even if he did, we wouldn't dare ask more questions. The fact that Nan Xia told us about his martial arts being crippled is already a sign of his broad-mindedness and utmost trust in us..."

  Lu Fang waved his hand and said, "How is Nan Xia's body now?"

  Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "My body is fine, I feel like I can take on Bai Wuxia in a fight right now!"

  "Cut it out!" A white mouse sneered, "If you make another move, Fifth Master will probably beat you up again!"

  Everyone looked at each other and burst out laughing!

  "Alright, kitty. Since there's nothing else to do, go change your clothes first. Then, since I don't know what kind of internal skill you practiced before, I'll teach you the most basic way to use internal power. Once you learn it, you can sense the flow of internal energy in your body. As for your previous moves, I'm not familiar with them either. However, from our exchange earlier, although your movements were stiff, it was clear that they were based on your past instincts and muscle memory, which had already been deeply ingrained in your body. Once you learn how to apply internal power, I'll spar with you myself, and we can definitely recall your memories of those moves!" Bai Haozi smiled.

  Zhan Zhao smiled lightly, like a warm breeze, stood up and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Bai Wuxia!"

  "Hold on!" Lu Fang waved his hand and smiled, "The Southern Hero had already agreed to become sworn brothers with us. How about this: after the Southern Hero changes clothes, we'll first take the oath of brotherhood, and tomorrow we can teach him the basic usage of internal energy?"

  "Good!" The other three old mice cheered loudly, while a certain fancy mouse just turned its head in disdain!

  Zhan Zhao also burst out laughing, "In that case, I'd rather obey than show respect!" Lu Fang called someone over and took Zhan Zhao away!

  Zhan Zhao's official robes were now torn to shreds and on top of that, he was soaked from head to toe, so he followed the person to change into a new set of clothes.

  Blue shirt, no matter how Zhan Zhao looks at it, he feels a little familiar, as if in the TV series, apart from wearing red, Zhan Zhao also wore blue...

  I never thought that after coming to this world, I would wear a blue casual garment for the first time on the Isolated Island!

  Inside the hall of righteousness, incense burns high, six people kneel down on the ground.

  "Today I exhibit Zhao", "Lu Fang", "Han Zhang", "Xu Qing", "Jiang Ping", "Bai Yutang"

  "We six men swear to be brothers, sharing joys and sorrows, not abandoning each other in difficulties, living and dying together, returning home with white hair. If we break this oath, betraying righteousness and forgetting kindness, then heaven and earth will reject us!"
