Chapter 5: Jingyu and the Fire Lion
Under the full beastly assault of Brother Tianhuo, you were able to find an opportunity to counterattack, and that final punch, if I am not mistaken, should be the Buddha Sect's Demon-Breaking Fist of Master Yidao, the foremost expert of the Buddha Sect from eight hundred years ago, am I right?" A faint smile appeared on Jingyu's face as he looked at me and continued, "I am very well aware of Brother Tianhuo's punching power. However, when I examined your injuries, I found that most of them were superficial, with only a few broken bones, and you did not sustain any significant damage. Moreover, these superficial injuries are healing at an astonishing rate. Tianfeng, all of this leads me to conclude that you must have consumed the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill!"
Can someone tell me what is going on? Perhaps it is because I have been with the intelligent one for too long; not a single person has spoken to me all day, and I feel like I am suffocating. Looking at the three of them, I asked loudly.
Tianfeng, you have consumed the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill, becoming the target of the Sanctuary. Although I do not understand what they will do to you, as long as the mysteries of the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill remain unsolved, you will forever be under the protection of the Sanctuary. For many years, the Sanctuary has been the spiritual faith of the Sfarlin Continent; with their support, no one dares to harm you in the slightest. However, the key lies in how you maintain the Sanctuary's protection over you and keep them under your control. At that time, not to mention being merely the chief of police in a small town in the Elvin Province, even the monarchs of the three great empires will have to show you utmost respect.
Indeed, before my thoughts could fade away, Jingyu said: "At this moment, Brother Tianhuo appeared!"
In the evening, I will be drawn into the sea of consciousness by melancholy, undergoing the successive teachings of the eight Mogoyil.
Later, a look of sorrow once again enveloped Jingyu's face as he spoke softly: "After that, my mother passed away not long after due to the shock. Under the care of Brother Tianhuo, I gradually grew up. When I turned eighteen, Brother Tianhuo wanted to recommend me to Lord Tan, but I hoped to become a soldier like my father, so I chose to enlist. Haha, as for what happened later, it was just as you have heard; I became a junior officer directly appointed by Lord Tongkong, and I have guarded this place in Chila Jiao for over a decade."
Husband, you will become incredibly strong! Starting today, you will undergo training from the eight members of Mogoyir in this Jade Fragrance Cave, and I will intensify your transformation. " At the end, her voice became very soft, and her face was flushed with heat.
It is fine, it is fine. It is still a good thing for young people not to engage in idol worship. Hehe, besides, being called 'old man' feels quite endearing to me. Thus spoke the self-satisfied and magnanimous one.
"Youyou, I want to become stronger!" After a moment of silence, I suddenly said. After battling the Fire Lion, I realized how weak my own strength was. The Fire Lion was merely a half-beast, unable to rank among even a hundred in the realm, yet I was beaten like a dog by him. If it weren't for Youyou's help, I fear I wouldn't have had the strength to fight back at all. With such abilities, how could I possibly protect Youyou in the future? If it weren't for Youyou's help, I fear I wouldn't have had the strength to fight back at all. With such abilities, how could I possibly protect Youyou in the future?
Come on, isn't he just my sworn brother? Is it really necessary to act like this? I silently cursed in my heart, but when I looked at the Heavenly Fire Lion, I put on a face that expressed, 'I've long admired you, I've long admired you'.
Jing Yu's words carried an irresistible authority, causing the few self-important individuals in the room to refrain from defying him. As he watched them leave, Jing Yu glanced at me again and said to Tian Huo Shi in a low voice: "Elder brother, let us speak outside and allow Tian Feng to rest for now"
Hehe, this is actually a technique for French kissing from the land of Che Lou. It seems that one of the characters in the Divine Elixir's Eight Transformations is from Che Lou, otherwise how could I have learned it without a teacher
Well, in addition, Tianfeng will undergo your training in the morning, and in the afternoon, let him study some miscellaneous subjects with me. He said with a self-satisfied smile, "If you are willing, you are also welcome to listen."
Little Black had consumed the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill? The Heavenly Fire Lion asked in surprise, but there was only self-satisfaction and no astonishment, just a face that seemed to say, 'I knew it all along,' which truly annoyed me
Shaking his head with a self-satisfied smile, he said: "Brother Tianhuo, you still do not understand the *picture* and the *book*. You possess the bloodline of the beastmen; no matter who you are loyal to, you will never be able to step into the limelight. Even if the queen wishes to employ you, the ministers in the court will oppose it."
"Tianfeng, do you still not know Mr. Wen's background?" Jingyu asked in surprise
At that time, my face must have been extremely pale, staring blankly at Jingyu, and for a moment, I didn't know how to respond
In an instant, I gasped again. Does this guy not realize the extent of the power he holds? Damn it, a slap landed precisely on the rib I had just connected, causing me to break out in a cold sweat, yet I dared not express any dissatisfaction.
What are you thinking about, Tianfeng
A single sentence caused a burst of laughter to echo in my ears. When I looked over, I saw the clever six and Jingyu standing behind the Tianhuo Lion, smiling at me.
Damn, is this something a person would say? Moreover, his large hand landed right on my wound, causing me to involuntarily gasp. Continuously inquiring about his mother.
"Sir, when do you think we will be able to leave here?" I suddenly asked.
The younger generation seeks it but cannot obtain it! Jingyu exclaimed in surprise
Jingyu was taken aback. He looked at me, pondered for a moment, then glanced at the Tianhuo Lion and the self-satisfied one, and said in a deep voice: "Tianfeng, although you have consumed the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill, I have noticed that you possess no combat skills whatsoever. Moreover, while the power within you is formidable, you do not know how to wield it. If you leave Chila Corner, you will face many dangers. Therefore, I think it would be best for you to stay here for a while, considering it as a period of study, how about that?"
I am filled with excitement. I initially thought that the Fire Lion was sent here due to its loss of utility, but I did not expect there to be such hidden circumstances. This means that he is still under the command of Lord Shouzhai and is a trusted subordinate. As for Jingyu, this small flag appointed personally by the commander of the Southern Group Army likely has considerable backing as well
It seems that he has discerned the doubts in my heart. Jingyu said with a smile, "Brother Tianhuo also works under Lord Tan. Although he holds no title, he is a trusted confidant of Lord Tan. Although Shui Wuyou is dissatisfied with Brother Tianhuo, he does not dare to provoke him"
I nodded slightly, thinking to myself: It turns out that the master behind the Heavenly Fire Lion is actually the head of the Empire. He should be a trusted confidant of Tan Lei, no wonder Shui Wuyou did not settle the score later.
General Jingyu has the support of Marshal Fengshuang behind him, which is equivalent to gaining the backing of the entire imperial military. Although you are still a minor flag, trapped on this small island for over a decade, I believe Marshal Fengshuang has not forgotten you. As long as the right opportunity arises, you will be able to return to the battlefield and fight for your father's honor. Hehe, what I want to say is that although you have the support of Marshal Fengshuang, you should not rely on him. As the saying goes, poverty does not last beyond three generations, and wealth does not last beyond three generations either. Although Marshal Fengshuang currently holds a high position, he has reached a point where extremes lead to reversals. He is too proud, to the extent that he has never considered the future of his descendants. The Luodan Empire was founded by soldiers; although Marshal Fengshuang represents the military, he will ultimately fall because of it.
Elder brother! Jingyu calls you the Fire Lion, elder brother!
The transformation is complete, and I feel completely at ease. With a gentle push, Youyou brought me out of the Yuxiang Cave, and my consciousness gradually began to return.
I remained silent for a while, then suddenly let out a bitter laugh, "Commander, you are indeed correct; I have indeed consumed the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill"
As he spoke, he slapped my chest with his hand
The Fire Lion nodded and said, "If I am to face Master Mingjing, I believe that if I do not break through all the meridian points, it will be difficult for me to last more than thirty moves against him. Brother, just wait for me, alright?"
I remain silent, as I truly do not know how to respond
It seemed that she sensed my thoughts, and a faint smile appeared on her face
"Tianfeng, rest assured, I will tell you. However, before that, you must answer me honestly: did you consume the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill?" Jingyu suddenly asked.
Hehe, the boundless waters will naturally not miss such an opportunity to humiliate us. He said my mother was a terrorist and wanted to take her back to the inspection office for questioning. At that time, I was only six years old. Despite my desperate resistance, I was beaten until my head was bloodied, lying in the stinking ditch of m.hetushu.com.com waiting to die
"Look, look, Brother Tianhuo, I told you this kid would definitely react like this upon waking up, but you didn't believe me!" The self-satisfied individual, wearing a fawning smile, said to Tianhuo. His shiny forehead was somewhat dazzling at that moment. He walked over to my side and said with a smile: "Xiao Hei, don't worry, the competition is over"
... ...
"Come on, what’s so great about it? Old man, don’t get too proud; who admires you? Hehe, aren’t you just like me now, a long-tongued prisoner on this desolate corner?" Although I admired him in my heart, I still insisted on speaking relentlessly.
I gazed in astonishment at the Heavenly Fire Lion: this fellow is so arrogant! How dare he charge into the Inspection Office and act this way? Would Shui Wuyā really let him off?
Old man, who exactly are you?
However, these words can only be spoken in my heart; the image of the Heavenly Fire Lion Beast has left an indelible shadow in my mind. I remained silent for a moment, gazing at Jingyu, and suddenly asked, "Sir, could you tell me what exactly is going on?"
"Well, it's settled then!" Feeling self-satisfied and excited, he looked at me and exclaimed, "Before long, a brand new Tianfeng will be born!"
Jingyu nodded with a smile, but when he glanced at the Tianhuo Lion sitting beside me, his expression suddenly became very serious
After a moment of contemplation, the Fire Lion quietly asked, "Then, in your opinion, should the Fire Lion pledge allegiance to the Queen?"
At four in the morning, a basin of cold water splashed on me, waking me from my dreams. I followed Jingyu to the rocks north of Chila Jiao, braving the strong sea winds, to chant the true essence of heaven and earth, practicing what he called the family’s secret skill, the Breaking Demon Heart Sutra
In order to make Youyou happier, I specifically captured Chuye Liuxiang and brought him to a small room. After a warm conversation, I obtained from him the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, known as the first treasure of the Sifalin Continent. From then on, Youyou became even more infatuated with my transformation.
Finished, finished! I still have to endure this monster's training! Suddenly, I feel like crying.
"So that's how it is!" After pondering for a while, I quietly asked, "How did Brother Huo end up here that day?"
I opened my eyes, but the first thing that came into view was the face of the Fire Lion. That face, as cold as rock, was now filled with excitement, the scar glowing a bright red.
This old fellow has quite the background! I looked at him in surprise, feeling quite clever. If that's the case, then this old man calling himself a learned scholar is not just boasting after all
Three days later, under the astonished gazes of the prisoners across the island, I stood once again on the land of Chila Jiao. However, a disaster unlike any I had ever experienced, orchestrated by Jingyu and others, descended upon me.
At 1 PM, after enduring five hours of torment and having lunch, I lay in the sun, bruised and battered, hoping to rest for a moment, when a swarm of flies suddenly appeared, followed closely by a self-proclaimed wise man. He could chatter on for an entire afternoon about astronomy, geography, politics, military affairs, and myths without feeling thirsty.
The gentleman means that...
Jingyu suddenly stood up, respectfully bowed to the self-important individual, and with a solemn expression said: "Thank you, Mr. Wen, for your guidance. If Jingyu is able to achieve anything in the future, it will all be thanks to your teachings today"
"Little Black is awake, he is awake!" This is the voice of someone who is overly excited. I opened my eyes, only to find myself lying on a large mattress, my body wrapped up like a zongzi.
In one sentence, everyone in the room exclaimed in unison, and Jingyu exchanged a knowing smile with the self-satisfied one, remaining silent. However, Tianhuo Lion let out a low exclamation, slapping my shoulder with one hand, "Little brother, you really have extraordinary luck."
"Little brother, thank you!" The expression of the Fire Lion was somewhat awkward as he looked at me, smiled faintly, and said in a low voice
However, I must admit that this old fellow is indeed exceptionally strong! The renowned scholar Tongtian is truly not just a name without substance
Alas, there is truly no hint of novelty!
In an instant, these two names suddenly appeared in my mind
At 7 o'clock, just as I stepped down from the rocks, the Fire Lion appeared before me with a smile. He truly was not a person; he was not teaching me combat skills at all, but rather I was merely on the receiving end of a one-sided beating, all under the guise of the saying: to hit someone, one must first be hit
With a self-satisfied smile, the brilliance in his eyes made me feel somewhat dizzy
Damn, he beat me up so badly that I was lying there like a zongzi, and he still thanked me? As soon as I heard that, I felt a surge of anger rising within me. I looked at Tianhuo Lion and after a long pause said, "Brother Lion, no need to thank me"
Perhaps due to the transformation by the melancholy, I have already faintly guessed the subsequent development of the plot. What a boring story! Yet, I displayed a look of shock on my face and urgently asked, "Sir, what happened next?"
I looked at the self-satisfied old man in astonishment, thinking to myself: how does this old fellow know what I am thinking?
What brings me the greatest happiness is each time I am left in a disheveled state after being repaired by Mogoi and others, Yuyou will take me into the Yuxiang Cave to be transformed. Each transformation is filled with such passion, and every time I undergo this change, I feel as if I am being reborn. The tenderness and affection that follow the transformation continuously deepen the bond between Yuyou and me
"There’s no need for training, right? Can we just focus on transformation?" I said with a mischievous smile, my hands wandering continuously over that fragrant body.
I nodded slightly and said with a hint of self-satisfaction, "I really don't know. Every time I ask that old fellow, he always stammers and avoids giving a direct answer. So all I know is that he claims to be a learned scholar with vast knowledge, but beyond that, I'm not very clear."
"Not bad, Brother Tianfeng. Originally, I only intended to use the power of your Nine Rainbow Divine Pill to open the twentieth acupoint of Brother Tianhuo. I did not expect the power of the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill to be so formidable that it directly opened the first three acupoints in Brother Tianhuo's chest. He has now surpassed his former self, but if he wishes to contend with Master Mingjing, I fear he may not be ready yet." Jingyu's address towards me had changed as he spoke, his gaze directed towards the Tianhuo Lion.
However, I remain immersed in that feeling of pain and pleasure, completely unaware of the danger approaching me.
Well, with the story having developed to this point, I thought to myself that the Fire Lion should make an appearance now
A single sentence rendered all three of us silent
"Back then, due to my father's defeat at Tonglu, our family was confiscated. When my mother and I were driven out, we were left with nothing. Our relatives avoided us as if we were a plague, and my mother and I could only beg on the streets to survive" Jingyu said slowly, a look of pain appearing on his face as he fell into deep reminiscence
What is the matter with this melancholy? Why did Jingyu launch a surprise attack on me?
Jingyu and Tianhuo Lion, one is a trusted confidant of the imperial prime minister, and the other has military support behind him. If I can gain their assistance, even if Quinn intends to protect Diyo, it would be difficult for him to thwart my plans for revenge
Diye! Aluk
Damn, I was already born! I cursed inwardly, but under Jingyu's gaze, I could only nod helplessly
Yōu Yōu was moved, her breathing suddenly became very heavy, and she gasped, saying: "You lecher, when it comes to serious matters, you again... ah!"
He chuckled to himself, looking at the Fire Lion, scrutinizing it for a while, and suddenly spoke: "Brother Fire, the Prime Minister, like Marshal Frost, has now reached the pinnacle of power. However, unlike Marshal Frost, he harbors ambition! Ambition will bring him honor, but it will also bring him disaster. Although the current queen of the empire is a girl, she should not be underestimated. The separation of military and political power, allowing Marshal Frost and the Prime Minister to mutually restrain each other, is an extremely clever strategy. Do not be misled by the Prime Minister's apparent power in the court; without military authority, he will never achieve great things. If Marshal Frost remains, there will be peace for generations, but if Marshal Frost falls, the day of the Prime Minister's downfall will not be far off."
Do not look at me with such eyes; the killing intent in your gaze has already revealed your thoughts to me. Tianfeng, I know who you seek to take revenge on. However, I must remind you not to rely on anyone; always remain above others, while maintaining an air of mystery that keeps others intrigued by you. Only then can you become a true figure capable of commanding the winds and rains. Saying this, he glanced at us with a self-satisfied expression and continued: "I have relied on many people and have had moments of great glory. But I must remind you not to rely on anyone; always remain above others, while maintaining an air of mystery that keeps others intrigued by you. Only then can you become a true figure capable of commanding the winds and rains." Saying this, he glanced at us with a self-satisfied expression and continued: "I have relied on many people and have had moments of great glory. But when my great tree fell, I realized I had nothing. Commander Jingyu has the support of the military, but why not consider taking control of the military? Brother Tianhuo is a trusted aide of the Prime Minister, yet you are a half-beast; you can never truly step into the limelight. Why not think about other paths?"
Indeed, Mr. Wen is the fifth-generation heir of the Tianying Pavilion and also the former sect leader, Wen Luoyue
Time swiftly passes in this entanglement of pain and joy A disaster that silently approaches is about to change the course of my life forever
Jingyu stepped over to my side, reached out to feel my pulse, and his expression suddenly changed dramatically. He looked at me, his eyes filled with a strange light, and after a long pause, he said in a deep voice: "Tianfeng has just awakened and is still weak; you all should go back and let him rest properly"
"Hehe, clever, look at that. I told you this guy has the resilience of a cockroach; have you forgotten he is someone who was once favored by a demon spirit!" This was the voice of the magic wolf; how did he end up here? I remember he seemed to run the fastest during the competition
We not only had to struggle for survival, but also had to deal with those whom my father had offended in the past. At that time, we lived like mice; my mother was timid and could only endure. At this point, Jingyu looked up at Tianhuo Shi, his face revealing immense warmth. "Once, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Supervisory Office, Shui Wuyou, encountered us on the street. He had once been my father's subordinate, but was punished with twenty strokes and expelled from the army for violating military discipline. Unexpectedly, he later allied himself with the current Prime Minister, Lord Tan, and rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a significant power player in the capital."
It is not that I lack courage, but rather that this person becomes terrifying when enraged. I do not wish to lie here every day beaten like a zongzi.
Then what about me? The Fire Lion could no longer contain himself; he stood up, his hands hanging in front of him, and respectfully looked at the self-important individual who had asked.
Before you arrived at Chila Jiao, I received instructions from the Sacred Temple to report every word and action of yours without omission. Jing Yu calmly said: Although the prisoners at Chila Jiao all have some background, you are the first one to attract the attention of the Sacred Temple. I carefully reviewed your file and later inquired about Mr. Wen, which led me to vaguely guess the intricacies involved.
I was quite surprised, but Jingyu paid no attention to my astonished expression and left the room with the Tianhuo Lion
Hehe, please don't admire me too much! Wen Luoyue, isn't it more fitting to call it being self-satisfied? Although he humbly speaks, his face reveals a look of pride. He looks at me as if to say: Kid, did you hear that? You should show me some respect in the future
I want revenge! Although I have incapacitated Aluk, I have not yet avenged my father's death. What I have done to him is far from enough. I want to make them, father and son, understand that provoking Tianfeng is the greatest mistake they have ever made in their lives
A sudden wave of emotion surged within me, and I couldn't help but tighten my embrace around her arms
Jingyu was listening with great interest, but I felt as if I were suffering, being force-fed various pieces of knowledge. Isn't it said that quality education has already begun to be implemented? Why is this old fellow still using such a cramming method to teach us
... ...
At that moment, I still had a look of shock on my face and urgently asked, "What happened next, what happened next?"
I wear a苦 face, watching the self-righteous, my heart silently bleeding: I still have to endure this old man's teachings, with his fly-catching methods, I am bound to be utterly destroyed
In the dead of night, Jingyu, Tianhuo Lion, and Zizuo Congming sat around my bed, their expressions grave as they silently gazed at me
Lying amidst the flowers of Yuxiang Cave, I lay bare, gazing up at the floating clouds in the sky, my heart filled with an extraordinary tranquility. A sense of melancholy rests in the crook of my arm, curled up like a small cat.
This old fellow is indeed not simple; what he said has greatly benefited us all. For a moment, we all fell into deep contemplation wwwhetushucom .com
Jingyu glanced at Zizuosmart, seemingly seeking his opinion. After Zizuosmart nodded, Jingyu looked at me and said seriously: "Tianfeng, have you heard of the Tianying Pavilion?"
Upon hearing my words, Tianhuo Shi's expression immediately darkened. He glanced at Jingyu, then at me, and with a tone of self-importance, he said: "The reason is quite simple. I once thought I was invincible, yet I did not expect to be defeated by that Mingjing from the Buddhist sect. I felt indignant, but my entire power was sealed, and I could not seek revenge on him. Lord Tan originally wanted me to recuperate in the residence, but during that month, my enemies attempted to assassinate me four times, and on one occasion, even Lord Tan nearly fell victim. Later, I thought of Brother Jingyu, who had by then become a small banner leader of the Chila Jiao. The Chila Jiao is located far to the south, isolated from the mainland. Outsiders wishing to enter Chila Jiao cannot approach a single step without someone to guide them. Moreover, Brother Jingyu's skills are commendable, and the environment of Chila Jiao is tranquil, making it a relatively safe place for cultivation. Therefore, I requested Lord Tan to send me here to recuperate, not realizing that ten years would pass in the blink of an eye..."
Jingyu's words jolted me from my reverie. Before I could speak, the self-satisfied person beside me suddenly remarked coldly: "What are you thinking? Hehe, isn't he just trying to leave Chila Jiao to seek revenge on his enemy!"
... ...
I was taken aback and nodded slightly, "I have heard of it; that is the location of our empire's library. Three hundred years ago, the Sfarlin Continent was still under the rule of the Fire Cloud Empire. The great scholar Wen Langyun established the Sky Eagle Pavilion, advocating for the search of the lost culture from the War of the Divine Beings. That is the cultural lifeline of our Sfarlin Continent"
Brother Tianhuo saved me. Upon hearing about my situation, he rushed to Shui Wuyou's residence overnight, injuring twelve black-clad officials from the Supervisory Office, and rescued my mother
Jingyu and I couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. This old fellow truly has a keen eye, analyzing every detail with precision, which compels us to admire him
"Tianfeng, you must not be disrespectful!" Jingyu scolded angrily
Although I am reluctant to accept it, I must admit that this old fellow truly deserves the title of a learned scholar. His analysis is very thorough; humanity is an extremely arrogant and exclusionary race. Even if the Fire Lion possesses extraordinary abilities, it will find no opportunity for development here
Hmm, Brother Tianfeng, Brother Jingyu is right. Your combat skills are quite lacking. If it weren't for Brother Jingyu's instructions, I could defeat you with a single move during our duel!" Suddenly, the Fire Lion spoke: "How about this, starting today, you will learn combat skills from me during the day. Hmm, let Brother Jingyu teach you his family's secret technique for breaking the demon's heart.
The Fire Lion also fell silent, sitting dazedly at the edge of the bed, his face displaying a fluctuating expression of gloom and brightness
Thus, Jingyu and Tianhuo Lion are my hopes for revenge. Di Yue can command the winds and rains in the town, and even the mayor must give him some respect. The main reason for this is that he is a confidant of Governor Quinn of the Elvin Province, and Quinn's concubine, who is said to have been Di Yue's lover in the past. If it were not for his lack of ability, he would have likely become a powerful lord in a large city by now
She suddenly stopped, for I had heavily kissed her lips, our tongues skillfully entwined, and her melancholic body displayed a faint blush of excitement
"Brother Tianhuo, if you have the opportunity, leave the Sfarlin Continent. You possess the bloodline of the Fire Lion Clan; the Saman Continent is your true stage!" The self-satisfied gaze was very sincere as he looked at Tianhuo Lion and spoke slowly
I am also unclear; he suddenly struck and sent you flying before attacking the Heavenly Fire Lion! I was in a hurry to rescue you, so I did not pay attention to what happened afterward
"Tianfeng, you must forget what I am about to say immediately," he said, pausing for a moment. "Tianhuo Shi is my sworn elder brother"
I concede, do not come over! I cried out in shock
In contrast, the Fire Lion appears to be so gentle. Those eight individuals are nothing short of inhumane; they never cease until they have beaten me to a pulp. It is understandable, considering I became an unwitting victim of the Nine Rainbow Divine Pill, imprisoned in the dark sea of consciousness for hundreds of years, inevitably feeling a sense of imbalance within. Thus, I became their outlet for venting.
