Zhou Ruhai's face became very ugly. He naturally knew the origin of this ancient jade and its strength. Therefore, over the past few years, he has been trying to get this ancient jade, and has set up a special plan for this to pull the Chunfeng Yeyu Tower into the water. After planning for several years, it was the result. How could he not be sad?

"Pei Chunqiu, this is not your plan to hide the truth, right?"

Pei Chunqiu seemed to have not heard Zhou Ruhai's words, and was in a daze. He sat on the ground and muttered to himself, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

This jade bi is a very large-scale origin, and is a bequest of Zhenren Erzhu. This jade bi has also sheltered the Pei family for hundreds of years. When the Pei family was at its peak, it was once the first family of Ba and Shu. Five hundred years ago, when the world was in chaos, several great masters from the three realms appeared in the family.

At that time, the Pei family's ancestral teaching was that Yu was at home, and Yu was destroyed and the family was destroyed.

One day, a man came from the Hanging Mountain, found the ancestor of the Pei family, chatted with him for a night, and borrowed the jade bi away.

Since then, the Pei family has declined rapidly, and today five hundred years later, it has become an insignificant family. Under the teachings of the Pei family, every generation of the Pei family descendants took it as their mission to find the ancient jade of the Pei family. Until a few years ago, a monk who traveled around came to the door and returned the jade bi to the Pei family.

The monk told him that the jade bi carries many secrets and has been preserved in an unknown and mysterious place in the world for five hundred years - Hanging Mountain. Until recently, the jade bi issued a warning, and the monk was entrusted to return the jade bi to the Pei family.

The monk also told him to abide by the ancestral teachings and pass on the jade bi from generation to generation. Within three generations, the Pei family will surely rise and revitalize the glory of the ancestors of the Pei family. To this end, Pei Chunqiu established the Chunfeng Night Rain Tower and prepared to show his skills in the world.

The monk also warned him that if there is any change in the jade bi, it would be a warning sign that chaos in the world would arise. Please be sure to send someone to inform them.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, when the Spring Breeze Night Rain Tower gradually emerged in the world, this jade bi was destroyed.

"Pei Chunqiu!" Zhou Ruhai shouted.

Pei Chunqiu looked at Zhou Ruhai with no vitality in his eyes and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Zhou, I believe you have seen what happened today too. My Pei family and Chunfeng Yeyu Tower have nothing you want anymore."

Zhou Ruhai sneered, "Who knows if you hid the jade bi and made this thing to fool me here."

Seeing this, Pei Ruyi couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhou, why are you so unreasonable? This is the property of our Pei family. How we can deal with it, what does it have to do with you?"

Bang!

Zhou Ruhai slapped Pei Ruyi with a palm. Pei Ruyi slapped and fell outside the door. The true energy in her body rolled, and she couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.

Pei Renfeng helped her up and said viciously, "Zhou Ruhai, don't bully people too much!"

Zhou Ruhai laughed, "I'm too bullying? I'm afraid you haven't seen the method of my official?" He ignored Pei Renfeng and turned to Zhou Ruhai, "Three days, I will give you three days. If you don't hand over the jade bi, your Pei family will wait to destroy the family."

After saying that, Zhou Ruhai left with his sleeves.

The Pei brothers and sisters came to Pei Chunqiu and said, "Dad!"

Pei Chunqiu looked depressed and sighed, "It seems that everything is God's will!"

"Zhou Ruhai is concerned about human life. If we want to force our family to be destroyed, should we wait for death? At worst, we can fight to the death. Our Pei family will fight with them!" Pei Ruyi said.

"We are not as good as Zhou Ruhai in martial arts competition. We are the prefects and the people, so we fight? What are we fighting for?"

Pei Chunqiu was over fifty years old. After getting the ancient jade in his family, he had ambitions and made a career vigorously in the world, but ended up in such a field. A newcomer in the world seemed so weak when facing the government forces.

Now, the plan is to temporarily retreat and tolerate, retain the bloodline of the Pei family, in order to make a comeback.

He said to Pei Ruyi, "The situation is not good now. Ruyi, you go to the capital first and go to your aunt and uncle's house to hide for a while. Although my aunt and I parted ways back then, now that the Pei family is in trouble, she will not sit idly by and watch."

"Dad, I won't go." Pei Ruyi looked very firm.

Pei Chunqiu said, "Do you want your father to kneel down and beg you?"

Pei Ruyi's eyes were filled with tears. She was stubborn and always stingy. She rarely cried, but what she encountered today made her feel humiliated. In less than half a day, her father seemed to have been in his teens and said, "Dad, I'll go."

Pei Chunqiu nodded and said to Pei Renfeng, "Renfeng, you are the only male member of our Pei family, I will give you a task."

Pei Renfeng has always been obedient, but now she has no idea and said, "Dad, tell me."

Pei Chunqiu said, "I want you to go to Hanging Mountain to find a monk named Chongjiu and tell him that the jade bi he brought to my house back then had been destroyed, and then find a way to convince him to accept you as his disciple."

"Is that monk five years ago?"

"It is. One of the elders of Chung Kyuno's Hanging Temple. This jade bi has sheltered Hanging Temple for five hundred years, which can be regarded as a accumulation of a good relationship for our Pei family. If you go to become a disciple, Hanging Temple will definitely not make things difficult for you."

"Where is Hanging Mountain? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Pei Chunqiu said, "Come here."

Pei Renfeng came over as he said, Pei Chunqiu whispered a few words, and then reminded, "Remember, your mission is arduous for this trip, and the future of the Pei family is on your shoulders."

Pei Renfeng nodded with tears in her eyes.

"As soon as you go on this trip, you will bring more gold and silver, secretly jewelry, and try to act as low as possible. Even if you are humiliated or wronged, you must grit your teeth and endure it. Do not go down the mountain before you finish your studies. You should set off immediately without further ado."

Soon, the housekeeper prepared the package and handed it to Pei Renfeng.

When Pei Renfeng heard his father's tone, she seemed to be explaining her funeral. She felt sad, but she did not dare to disobey her father's order. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times and went down the mountain.

Pei Chunqiu said to his daughter, "Hundreds of years ago, our Pei family was a prominent family in the world. Later, the jade bi was 'borrowed' and it took five hundred years to go. The family declined, and it was even more deadly to my father's generation. Do you know why my father sent you to the capital?"

Pei Ruyi shook her head.

"Five years ago, when the monk Chongjiu met you, he said that you are noble in starry and noble, and you will definitely be a wealthy person in the future. I asked him to prove it. He just said that if you go to the capital, everything will be known. My father has been reluctant to let you leave over the years. Now that the family is in crisis, you have to go to the capital. If it is not too early, you should leave overnight."

"What about you, Father?"

Pei Chunqiu cut the railway firmly, "Of course I will stay and live and die with Chunfeng Yeyu Tower!"

Pei Ruyi also kowtowed three times and went down the mountain with tears in her eyes.

Pei Chunqiu said to the manager, "I have important things to say to gather the disciples of Quanzhuang."

That night, Pei Chunqiu disbanded the Chunfeng Yeyu Tower.

...

Next to the mountain stream.

Zhao Langjiang, Li Qingcheng looked surprised and looked at Xiao Jinyan with a different look on his face, "How did you do it?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head and said, "I don't know, it may be related to that piece of ancient jade." He tried to use his skills and found that the meridians were empty, and he couldn't lift a trace of internal force. He sat dejectedly on the ground, "My meridians are useless."

Li Qingcheng came over and flew into his body a true energy. He found that Xiao Jinyan's meridians were blocked, and there was no opening of the acupoints in his body, and his expression was very solemn.

"I didn't expect that Sun Qiangu's move was so powerful."

Xiao Jinyan smiled bitterly, "I can only say that we are very lucky. However, we are not finding anything." He thought about it and decided to tell the two of them the uniqueness of the meridians in his body, "In the past, I could sense a string of heaven and earth in my body. In the ancestral hall, this kind of sense was even stronger. In addition to the previous one, there were ten strings."

Zhao Langjiang frowned, "What string force?"

Xiao Jinyan thought for a moment and explained, "Let me say that, there should be other powers between heaven and earth besides true energy. It's just that our human body cannot sense this power, but for some reason, I can sense them."

Li Qingcheng said, "It is easy to understand. Just like when we see seven colors in our eyes, it does not mean that there are only seven colors in the world. In some animals' vision, they may only be able to identify three types, and some animals can identify eight or more."

"That's about that."

Zhao Langjiang was stunned, "What do you mean is that Xiao Jinyan is not a human?"

Xiao Jinyan said angrily, "You are not a human being. But my veins are a little different from those of ordinary people. This kind of power is like the waves in the pond, vibrating up and down. I can also use this string to cause the resonance of the true essence of heaven and earth, but the effect is very small. Except for the awareness being more sensitive than ordinary people, it has no other use."

Li Qingcheng asked, "Then you say, is it related to this string power when we came here just now?"

Xiao Jinyan was not sure either.

Zhao Langjiang suddenly pointed to the direction of Chunfeng Yeyu Tower and said, "Look, Chunfeng Yeyu Tower is on fire!"

In the distance, the spring breeze and night rain towers were lit up into the sky, and the flames rose more than ten feet high, like a fire dragon, swallowing the entire Pei family.

"What happened over there?"

Xiao Jinyan suggested going over and take a look. After all, they had a relationship with the Pei brothers and sisters. When they arrived at Yeyulou, they found that the entire Pei family had been burned to ashes. They learned from a dismissed servant that the prefect was too much, and Mr. Pei refused to hand over the treasures of the family, so he dismissed the servants and burned Chunfeng Yeyulou with fire. After learning that Pei Chunqiu and the Pei brothers and sisters were safe, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The ancient jade of the Pei family was destroyed, which also had something to do with Xiao Jinyan. Xiao Jinyan felt a little apologized and thought that he would only have to wait until he had the chance to compensate the Pei family later.

"I didn't expect that Pei Chunqiu's personality is so strong that I would rather break my jade than be a complete one. I still admire this."

Xiao Jinyan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this is a helpless move. Since you can't hand over the jade bi, Zhou Ruhai will definitely not let them go. This fire gives them room to maneuver, so it's a pity to protect themselves."

"I didn't expect that a small Fuzhou would have hidden dragons and creeping tigers. People like Zhou Ruhai, who have such high martial arts skills, could they become officials in a prefecture?"

Li Qingcheng is knowledgeable, "Did you find out? Although Zhou Ruhai didn't attack us, his internal strength was very strange, unlike any sect in the Central Plains. I'm afraid it's not that simple. If you guessed correctly, it should be people from the Second Pavilion, the Third School, and the Fourth School."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Why?"

"Although few people walk around the world of the mysterious sects, they will not be in the world of the world. As far as I know, they will recruit some outer disciples to do their jobs. These people have secret identities. This competition is related to the ancient jade of the Pei family. How could ordinary people in the martial arts world be interested in this? Only those from the mysterious sects know that these things are powerful."

Zhao Langjiang disagreed, "Do not care about what you do, let's continue to rush."

Since Mr. Lu was still in the inn, the three of them risked being discovered by Sun Qiangu and returned to the inn to take Mr. Lu away and leave Fuling City.

Zhao Langjiang said, "It's too eye-catching for the three of us to walk together. Sun Qiangu is chasing him like a mad dog. It's better for the three of us to disguise and modify, dress up as a traveling businessman, and hide their identities, which can save a lot of trouble."

Li Qingcheng said it was wonderful all the time.

In the battle with Sun Qiangu, the three of them fought, their clothes were torn apart by true energy, and they were already in a mess.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Look at the difference between the three of us dressed in the dress and the beggar who was begging for food? Do you still need to disguise yourself? Does it cost money to disguise yourself?" Thinking of this, Xiao Jinyan remembered another thing, "Pei Ruyi still owes us 100 taels of silver. She originally wanted to make a fortune, but she didn't even get the money after delaying her work."

Li Qingcheng said, "I'm afraid we have no fortune."

Xiao Jinyan looked at Li Qingcheng's waist again, "Where is your jade pendant?"

Li Qingcheng knew that Xiao Jinyan would attack his jade pendant sooner or later, and put it in advance, saying as if nothing had happened, "It must have been lost accidentally."

In order to avoid Sun Qiangu's pursuit, the three of them chose to rush at night, rest during the day, and practice martial arts. Anyway, they had no money, couldn't afford to eat, and could not afford to stay in a restaurant. The three of them specially chose remote paths to travel, and caught some wild game when they were hungry. The fruits that fell on the ground filled their hunger, and they did not encounter much trouble. A few days later, the three of them had fluffy hair and stubble faces, which was no different from a savage.

Xiao Jinyan's meridians were damaged and could not increase internal strength. Unfortunately, the medical saint Xue Pipi was not there, otherwise he could still ask him for treatment.

He lost the east corner and collected it. With the help of the ancient jade transformation of the Pei family, he clearly felt that the string force in his body was better than the past.
