Chapter Twelve, Really Fragrant?
The caravan of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce stayed in the temporary camp at the foot of Guimen Mountain for an extra day to make a renovation.
When they left, everyone from the Nanping Chamber of Commerce was still stationed in their original location.
First, many of them need to be cultivated, especially Li Chong, the "Heavenly Hand" who was seriously injured by Jiushan King He Ping'an on the Guimen Mountain Plank Road. He needs to be cultivated for at least ten days and half a month, otherwise the disease may be left behind and will last for many days.
Second, they have no management and don’t know how to deal with many things. They always have to wait for the Nanping Chamber of Commerce to dispatch new management and hand over everything to continue to operate.
There was no such problem in the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce. In the battle with the King of Jiushan, there was no one injured, because anyone who dared to draw a sword at the King of Jiushan was killed by him.
No one needs to recover from his injuries, so it is enough to spend a day taking care of the funeral of the deceased.
Pan Long's clan uncle Pan Ying died in that battle. His body was cremated, his ashes were put in an iron box, and a pack of relics were sorted out.
Zhao Lin would take these things to the Central Plains and hand them over to his family.
Pan Long and the others were a little sad about his death, but they did not resent the King of Jiushan.
The Green Forest hero has a really good character. He did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, whether it was the battle on the plank road or the battle at the foot of the mountain. Everyone who died under him took the initiative to attack him first and then he fought back to death.
For example, Pan Ying participated in the siege of him and was killed by his earth-shaking sword.
Children from the world stand up with martial arts and fight for their future with swords, so they are naturally mentally prepared to die under the sword. When they fight fairly, they are killed by others, there is nothing to resent.
If you have to resent such things, the northerners will die long ago.
In contrast, what they discussed more was why the King of Jiushan was so "merciful and ruthless".
Pan Long even doubted whether King Jiushan had practiced some special mental methods and was subject to some restrictions.
Otherwise, no matter how you think about it, you should kill someone to silence your eloquence.
But he quickly rejected this idea. It is easy to kill people, but difficult to silence them. The Nanping Chamber of Commerce obtained the bamboo slips suspected to have been sought by the Daxia Dynasty. God knows how many people know. Even if the King of Jiushan is really powerful in martial arts and kills more than a thousand people in the two caravans, the traces of the battle alone are enough to reveal his identity.
Even... even if we don't look at the traces of the battle, how many people can be killed in one go?
When it comes to such matters, the Daxia Dynasty must have killed the wrong person and not let him go. No matter what, he, the leader of the Northwest Green Forest, cannot be left out.
Since that's the case, it's better to snatch things and run away, run out of the boundaries of Jiuzhou, and run to a place beyond the reach of the Daxia Dynasty.
It's like Xie Xun snatching the Dragon Slaying Sword in Wang Panshan. His plan is to run to a place that is rarely visited and concentrate on studying the sword. When he comes to study its secret, he will come back to take revenge.
...Of course, Xie Xun had a brain problem. The key to his inability to avenge is that he could not find his enemies or people. What's the use of no matter how high his martial arts are?
Jiushan King definitely won't have such a problem in his mind. Now he probably has escaped to somewhere unknown.
I just don’t know who the Daxia Dynasty will send to chase him - maybe Li Wu will be dispatched, right?
Li Wu is the great master of the realm of the realm. Most of the King of Jiushan has already entered the realm of the realm. Their battles must be very exciting and can give the bystanders great rewards.
(It's a pity that I can't see it...)
Pan Long still felt a little regretful about this. He felt that if he was strong enough to not be afraid of the King of Jiushan, he could keep up and watch the fun.
(...But if that happens, I still have to follow and watch the fun?)
(Ah! This is how life is. When you want something, you don’t have the ability to get it; when you have the ability to get it, that thing often doesn’t matter to you.)
Han Feng did not have as much sigh as Pan Long. He was very diligent during this period and practiced martial arts every day.
Although the "method of becoming stronger" mentioned by King Jiushan is just a cliché, and his father Han Ting had said it a long time ago, the same sentence is obviously completely different from the King Jiushan who is killing the innate realm.
They are authoritative!
Therefore, he became much more diligent. He practiced martial arts hard every day when he was resting. Even if he was riding on a horse, he had to make gestures with his hands to figure out the martial arts he passed down from his family.
The Han family's martial arts are different from the calm and profound martial arts of the Pan family, and they tend to be flexible and changeable. The most powerful martial arts in their family is a set of rushing sword techniques, which are combined with the family's treasure sword "Chunxi", which is very powerful and enough to compete with relatively weak innate masters such as Pan Long's grandfather Pan Shou.
It’s a pity that Chunxi’s treasure sword must be passed to Han Shan, the eldest son of the Han family. Without the cooperation of the treasure sword, the power of the rushing sword technique will plummetly, so Han Feng’s usual practice of boxing is even more than that of the sword.
Pan Long felt that his ancestors chose to use fist and foot skills as the core of family martial arts, and they were quite visionary.
Seeing Han Feng practicing so hard, he couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to practice. The first thing he thought of was to practice in the world of Shanhai Jing.
The fragments of the Shanhai Sutra can open up a world of nothing. The world produces nothing. The only purpose is to practice. As long as you can endure loneliness, you can practice it until the end of the world, practice the world's magical skills, and then return to reality.
But that is impossible, no one can endure that kind of loneliness. If a person can even bear such loneliness, then he may be a little unnatural.
To open up such a world, there is very little spiritual energy to consume. The only question is whether the human spirit can withstand such loneliness.
Pan Long felt that at least for now, he should not be very afraid of loneliness.
So he found a rest time to enter the world of fragments of the Shanhai Jing.
As soon as he entered, he was slightly stunned.
The stored spiritual energy has increased a lot.
"Strange, I have neither hunted demons nor lived in a land rich in spiritual energy. Where did those spiritual energy come from?"
The ancestors of the Pan family have long proved that spiritual energy cannot be obtained out of thin air and can only be obtained by hunting things with spiritual energy. Otherwise, they will live in an area rich in spiritual energy and accumulate slowly.
Most of the things that have spiritual energy are demons and monsters.
One of the important reasons why the ancestors of the Pan family chose to settle in the north was that there were many low-level monsters here. By hunting these monsters, it was easier to accumulate spiritual energy.
But even so, it took him twenty-five years to have fragments of the Shanhai Jing, and he only saved up the spiritual energy that opened the illusory world four times in total.
But now, Pan Long did nothing, but found that he had already obtained considerable spiritual energy. With the last time, his spiritual energy reserves have even exceeded 80%. Perhaps it will not take long to open the illusory world and try it out.
"What's going on?"
He sat in the void in confusion, stretched out his hand to touch it in the air.
An old bamboo slip appeared in front of him and was seized by him.
Then, the record of recent increase and decrease in spiritual energy appeared before his eyes.
The next moment, his body trembled suddenly, and his eyes showed shock.
"I can actually get spiritual energy from humans?!"
According to the records, he has indeed made a lot of spiritual energy recently, which was obtained from the people killed by the King of Jiushan at the foot of Guimen Mountain.
He suddenly remembered something that happened at that time.
Just when he was shocked by the eyes of the King of Jiushan, a warm current suddenly came, helping him recover from his sobriety.
Now it seems that the warm current is actually the spiritual energy he gained from those who were killed by the King of Jiushan.
Pan Long did not wonder why there is spiritual energy in people - in theory, all living beings in the world have spiritual energy, and of course human beings are no exception. Especially those who are successful in martial arts or have extraordinary talent, their spiritual energy is much more than ordinary people.
But the ancestors of the Pan family have not obtained any spiritual energy from people. Why can he?
"Can you say... this is the real power of Shanhai Jing again?"
He quickly calmed down and fell into deep thought.
As a treasure of unknown origin, it is indeed unreasonable to obtain spiritual energy from ghosts, monsters, monsters, monsters, ghosts, etc., or to rely on slowly absorbing the spiritual energy emitted from the earth.
In contrast, my current situation is more reasonable.
After all, spiritual energy is spiritual energy, regardless of its origin.
This situation is definitely very beneficial to him. If he can obtain spiritual energy from a person, his speed of obtaining spiritual energy will be greatly increased. Perhaps it won’t take long to accumulate spiritual energy and start his next experience.
Not only that, it was actually too late when he arrived at the foot of Guimen Mountain. Many people had been dead for a while and a lot of spiritual energy had dissipated. Moreover, he did not get close to the battlefield, and the efficiency of obtaining spiritual energy was very low.
If he kills the enemy himself in the future, the spiritual energy he gains will definitely increase greatly.
Thinking of this, Pan Long was a little happy at first, and then became alert again.
Human life is precious, and you must not become a murderer because of your greed for spiritual energy!
The King of Jiushan, the great hero of the Green Forest, can not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but he cannot become inferior to him in order to gain more spiritual energy!
"I want to be restrained!" he said to himself, "Although spiritual energy is important, my own principles are even more important. If a person lives not like himself, or even lives as he hates, what fun is there in life?"
After saying this several times, he could not calm down.
That being said, but there are huge benefits in front of you. How can you not be moved?
Of course not!
The reason why "true fragrance" can become an allusion is that people always lack self-control when facing temptation!
"Then do I want to be so 'very fragrant'? Or don't want it... I feel like I'll lose something very important!"
Pan Long thought for a long time, finally sighed, put aside his complicated thoughts, and focused on practicing martial arts.
He felt that he was really not good at thinking about these more profound things, so he might as well practice the martial arts well.
If he practices martial arts well and masters that can dominate the world, he will not need to be greedy for the treasures of the illusory world. Without temptation, he will not have to face these headache-inducing problems.
"Development is the most important thing," he said to himself. "The problems that cannot be solved now may not be considered a problem in the future."
With this idea, he practiced hard in the world of nothingness and sweated profusely.
