Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Initial Cause

  When I regained consciousness and reopened my eyes, what I saw was Zhao Feiyu and Kong Yi's tense faces. I only felt a sharp pain in my chest, I lowered my head to look, but found that there was another big hole opened on my chest.

  "Damn it!" I cursed, trying to get up with a stumble. But Kong Yat was pressing down on me hard, not allowing any movement.

  I found it strange that Kong Yat's actions were so sudden, and at this moment, Zhao Feiyu and Kong Yat both furrowed their brows tightly. I only felt a slight itch in my chest, wanting to scratch it. Before I could even put my hand up, I was stopped by Zhao Feiyu again.

  "Don't move!" Zhao Feiyu pressed down on my hand, saying somewhat impatiently.

  I felt a bit helpless, but I had no choice but to listen to them. I looked down and figured out why they were reacting so strongly!

  My wound is healing on its own! At that time, I really thought I was dreaming!

  Ying Zheng obviously saw the wound healing, he ignored Yin Zhou Yang, but instead walked to my side and said: It actually stimulated the effect of fetal education. Good! Good!

  It wasn't until then that I realized, Yin Zhongyang was also injured by me. I looked over and saw that Yin Zhongyang was lying on the ground as well, with my meteorite iron stuck in his chest.

  His chest was oozing with blood, but Ying Zheng didn't seem to care. On the contrary, it was Mu Rong who walked over to him and gave him emergency treatment for his wound.

  "It seems that you have already merged with the infant in your body. How is it, do you have any information to join the rivers? I can let you directly rank among the three dukes!" Qin Shi Huang's eyes only had excitement left, as if he had completely forgotten that his apprentice was injured.

  I let out a snort, thinking to myself who would want your position as one of the three dukes. I lay on the ground without saying a word. Mu Zong Xing was treating Yin Zhou Yang's wound at this time, while pretending to be nonchalant and glancing in my direction. It just so happened that our eyes met, and I stared back at him with a blank expression, indicating that I was fine.

  I lay down for a while and felt that my wound had healed a lot. I sat up, pointed to Yin Zuo Yang on one side and said to Ying Zheng: Your apprentice is about to die, why don't you go take a look?

  Ying Zheng just glanced at Yin Zhou Yang and smiled lightly, saying: He can't die so easily.

  Qin Zheng's confidence is bursting, I don't know what to say. However, when others returned my meteorite iron, I rummaged through the package for a long time but couldn't find the antidote.

  "The antidote, I don't know where it's been put, I'll go back and look for it." I leaned against the empty space to stand up, my mind only thinking about the antidote for the meteorite. I didn't want to bear the weight of another life on my shoulders, that was all I could think about.

  When Yín Zhōu Yáng easily got up again, I suspected that my eyes were blind. I looked at Yín Zhōu Yáng, where was the trace of injury?! At that time, I just wanted to curse and understood where Qín Shǐ's confidence came from!

  However, on Yin Zhouyang's face, there was no sign of excitement, but rather a look of worry. He looked at Ying Zheng, trying to open his mouth several times, but couldn't say a word.

  I'm still a bit unsteady, feeling like all my strength has been drained away. I swayed back and forth, putting all my weight on Kong Yatou's body. Zhao Feiyu was afraid that Kong Yatou wouldn't be able to hold me up, so he supported me from the side.

  "Huang, I'm not interested in your three public offices. I just wanted to have a duel with you. Now it seems that I've lost." I furrowed my brow and honestly, I really couldn't figure out what kind of skills Yin Zhuyang had! However, the fact that he could control the chaotic aura of the universe was already enough to make me feel apprehensive.

  "This round, it can't be said that you lost. If he didn't have the Phoenix Talisman on him, the one who would be dead now is him." Ying Zheng glanced at Yin Zhou Yang, and there was a hint of disdain in his smile. He seemed to be talking to himself, yet also seemed to be saying it to me: What's the use of someone who needs others to bear their wounds coming here?

  What profound meaning is this... First Emperor, my teacher died young and I don't understand what you're saying.

  After saying this, Yin Zhouyang's face turned red and green. I don't know what stimulation that person received, and I'm too lazy to care. I honestly told Ying Zheng: Huang Shibo, I won't be able to save him anymore. As for how many more questions you can answer me, can you tell me?

  Ying Zheng glanced at Huang Shi Bo and said casually, "It's okay if he can't be saved. Anyway, I want you to save him. He was eliminated in the first round, although it's not very useful, but there is no merit without hard work. His life, I will save. You don't have to worry about so much."

  "How did you know I was worried?" I don't know where Ying Zheng got the illusion that I'm worried about Huang Shibo either. But to be honest, after thinking of Dong Qi's amulet, I do have some things I want to ask Huang Shibo.

  If he's dead, where can I go to ask him?

  "One more thing." Qin Shi Huang looked at me and said with a rather relaxed tone.

  I nodded and bowed to him, which was my way of thanking him.

  Ying Zheng waved his hand, indicating that everyone should leave. Mu Rong Xing left easily, but Yin Zhou Yang stood beside Ying Zheng as if he wanted to say something.

  "Huang... Chen Xin's medicine..." Yin Zhou Yang hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking up.

  Ying Zheng furrowed his brow upon hearing this, but still said: I'll give it to you when we get back.

  Yin Zhouyang heard this and felt like a huge stone had fallen from his heart. He thanked Ying Zheng with a few words, then quickly left.

  Now only three of us and Ying Zheng are left. Ying Zheng looked at the three of us, stood aside with a half smile and said: Where do you want to start from?

  Zhao Feiyu glanced at Yin Zhouyang, who was not far away from leaving, and smiled as he pointed to Yin Zhouyang's back and said: What medicine did he say? Brain damage pill or something?

  Qin Zheng ignored Zhao Feiyu and started talking to himself: "Mu Lin, you've been here for almost a year. Haven't you noticed that there are only these few people here? No one ever gets old or dies, no children are born. It's always just these same people, haven't you realized?"

  Qin Zheng's words came out, and I think he's right. I've been in Huai Shu Village for so long, and I really haven't seen anyone die normally. Not to mention any children being born. I haven't even seen a few kids! Thinking about it, I feel a bit creepy.

  Ying Zheng smiled and continued: They are my attendants, and can also be said to be my guardians during my cultivation. Many people don't understand whether Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng in the spiritual world is a yin-yang master or a Taoist. I think these questions don't need to be entangled, as long as you know that my power can make people feel fear. Last time, Buddhism, Taoism and Yin-Yang joined forces to hunt me down, two fists are hard to contend with four hands. I had no choice but to return to Huai Shu Village to find my former guardians. However, it seems that they also suffered heavy casualties. My last soul was sealed in Huai Shu Village, their responsibility is to protect my soul.

  Ying Zheng's words are already very clear. The people of Huai Shu Village can be considered as figures in the spiritual circle. However, this place is indeed rarely discovered, and when Ying Zheng died last time, these people were to help Ying Zheng take care of his last soul.

  "Men follow the Tao, women follow yin and yang." Kong raised his head to look at Ying Zheng, then continued. "Last time, the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism, and Yin-yang chased you down, there were rumors that Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng summoned a group of ghostly Taoists to help him. Those Taoists were also said to be indistinguishable from good and evil. Now it seems that this question can also be answered. Those Taoists are your own people."

  Ying Zheng just smiled and didn't intend to continue talking, but instead walked down the mountain by himself.

  I know that I have no capital to make demands on Ying Zheng. The three of us can only silently watch Ying Zheng leave.

  I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Feiyu suddenly clapped his hands in approval. I was a bit puzzled as to why he did that - could it be that he wasn't thinking clearly?

  I and Kong Yiyi looked at Zhao Feiyu with a helpless expression, Zhao Feiyu put away his hand, smiled and said to us: Oh, it's just touching the scene and giving rise to emotions. Touching the scene and giving rise to emotions.

  "Are you moved by the scenery? What scenery moves you? What emotions are stirred? Tell me." Kong Yī looked at Zhao Fei Yu, and indeed smiled with his hands clasped behind his back. Kong Yī's appearance was somewhat ruffian, I couldn't help but feel some doubt, was this really the former high monk of Nan Temple?

  Zhao Feiyu glanced at Kong Yiren, crossed his arms and said: You wouldn't know how formidable a master like me is. Hmph, let's go, we'll have some fun.

  Kong Yī's hand, which was playing with the Buddhist beads, stopped moving, and the smile on his face also froze. I originally wanted to advise Kong Yī, but before I could say much, he casually pushed me away and went over to fight with Zhao Fei Yu...

  I was just about to curse these two idiots!

  It was a long time after that incident that I found out that Kong Yat was no longer the apprentice of the abbot of Nan Temple. Since my incident, Kong Yat had also chosen to return to secular life. I don't know why he did so, but his daily routine remained exactly the same as when he was at Nan Temple. There were no changes whatsoever.

  I know, Kong Yee and Nan Si still have feelings for each other.

  They waited until they had enough fun, and then came up to help me. In that battle with Yin Zhou Yang, I used the Nine-Character True Words three times in a row, and my body was indeed somewhat exhausted. Zhao Feiyu patted me on the back, saying that once this matter was settled, he would go buy some good food to nourish me.

  Of course, I know this matter is not yet over.

  Once again stepping into the territory of Huai Tree Village, my mood is completely different. I always thought that I could easily see through others, but now it seems that I was wrong.

  Not far from where I live, I heard a familiar voice in front of me. Wasn't it Dong Qizai? I smiled and was about to go over and greet her when I discovered there was another woman beside her.

  I don't know that person, Dong Qizai also saw us three at this time. She turned around and greeted us. Then she pulled the woman over to our side, laughing and saying: Master, this is my new friend!

  The woman looked at us, just smiled, stretched out her hand and laughed, saying: Hello, I'm Tian Zhe.
