Chapter 74 Misfortunes do not come alone
The twenty-foot cave is indeed not shallow for ordinary people, but for practitioners, it is just a few things that have risen and fall. Zhao Xifeng climbed out of the cave entrance in a few seconds, but did not encounter any seal during this period. It is very likely that the seal was naturally lifted after he reached the consent period, but it is more likely that Zhong Li deliberately deceived Zhao Xifeng.
Smile girl! Zhao Xifeng cursed in his heart.
Outside the entrance of the cave, several Huangji Sect's duty were standing at the gate of the drum tower, excitedly discussing the wonders of the stars in the daytime just now. Suddenly, Zhao Xifeng crawled out, with a strange look on his face.
"Young Master Zhao, are you finally coming out?" One of them, who was familiar with Zhao Xifeng, smiled in a complicated expression at Zhao Xifeng.
Zhao Xifeng greeted warmly: "Hello Brother Zhang, I've worked hard these days."
Brother Zhang nodded and smiled and said, "You're welcome, it seems that Mr. Zhao has finally broken through and agreed. It's a happy congratulations."
"Where is there, I didn't expect that I would stay inside for so long, and my body smelled." Zhao Xifeng stretched out his arms, smelled the smell on his clothes, and said disgusted.
"Not that," said Zhang's duty officer, "According to the initial lady's plan, you could get out of seclusion in about three months, but it was unexpected that it lasted for more than a year. However, looking at Mr. Zhao's aura, I had gained a lot, and these four hundred days of hard work were not in vain."
"One year! Are you saying I've been in this hole for one year?" Zhao Xifeng was shocked, almost unable to believe his ears, and shouted in his clothes.
The young man named Zhang wanted to break free from Zhao Xifeng's hands, but he found that the strength of Zhao Xifeng's hands was as heavy as a mountain, and no matter how he used his skills, it was useless. He also realized that the young man named Zhao had not used his cultivation at all!
How could this kid have such a strong physical strength? He is not the monks of the Buddhist sect who practice hard! Zhang Zhiqin thought in his heart, but he still showed no slight on the surface, pretending that he was disdainful to break free, and said with a forced smile: "Young Master, don't know it yourself? It's not just one year, today is the ninth day of the 10th lunar month of Hong Xiu's 26th year. It's been a year and a month since you entered the cave!"
Zhao Xifeng was stunned. Wouldn't he missed the second exam initiated by himself during his retreat? So he asked Zhang Zhiqin again: "Where is Zhong Liren?"
"The princess is out, dealing with... some things." Zhang Zhiqin remembered the things related to Zhao Xifeng that happened in the town this year, and his expression became even more complicated. "Why would Mr. Zhao go home first?"
Zhao Xifeng, who had just recovered from shock Zhong's consciousness, did not notice the abnormal expression of the other party. He nodded embarrassedly and smiled: "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, then I'll leave first. Please tell Teacher Zhong."
The two nodded and said goodbye.
After leaving the Drum Tower, Zhao Xifeng stood on the street, squinted his eyes and enjoyed the long-lost sunshine. When he was about to go home, he saw Dong Erpang with a serious expression and hurried expression. So he stepped forward and grabbed him and asked, "Fatty, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Unexpectedly, Dong Erpang punched him without saying a word, and he actually used his true energy!
Zhao Xifeng laughed in anger, and while reaching out to block the heavy punch, he shouted: "Why are you going crazy!"
Only then did Dong Erpang see clearly that the "beggar" in front of him with broken hair covering his face and smelly body turned out to be Zhao Xifeng who had been missing for more than a year! So he smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, the town has not been peaceful recently. I thought it was an assassin. You have been in seclusion for a long enough time!"
"What's that," Zhao Xifeng smiled, "Have you heard from Zhou Jiaosi say that those great masters who live in seclusion in the mountains have been in seclusion for decades at a time. I accidentally watched the star signs at night and saw the Great Way of Eternal Life, so I naturally need to go to seclusion and recuperation."
Dong Erpang said disdainfully: "What a shame? Teacher Zhong told us about Juyuan Cave. You are obviously beaten by the teacher and can't take care of yourself, so you went into the cave to recuperate."
The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time. After a while of joking, Zhao Xifeng asked: "You said just now that the town is not peaceful, there are assassins, what's going on?"
Speaking of this, Dong Erpang also put away his joking expression and said with a little worry in his eyebrows: "You don't know yet. Not long after you were in seclusion, the organization that assassinated you started to act again! This time their target is all the students of Panlong Academy! Even if it is just students who have not practiced in the inner courtyard, they will not let it go! The ordinary classes in the Academy have been suspended, and everyone is in danger. At present, three people have been killed. The two brothers Chang Gu and Chang Pan were also seriously injured half a year ago and have been recuperating at home. Yesterday, Han Xiao was stabbed twice in the back on the way to school. If Qingyuan had not arrived in time, he would have been gone! I'm going to see him."
Zhao Xifeng sneered and said, "I didn't go to find them, but they took the initiative to find me. Before going into seclusion, I should have solved this problem first. Don't worry, I know who assigned these killers and where the old nest is."
Dong Erpang was excited and asked, "You can really be sure where those killers are? If this is the case, it would be easy to deal with. These thieves are all ordinary people, and there is not a single cultivator. They just rely on some methods of crowing chickens and stealing chickens, which makes people unable to defend themselves. There is no combat power in the head-on confrontation. If I know their nest, Fatty will wash their nests alone!"
"Don't always think about fighting and killing," Zhao Xifeng reached out and knocked on Dong Erpang's forehead. "We are all just thirteen or fourteen years old. Such heavy evil spirits are not good for the state of cultivation. Leave professional matters to professionals. You think Uncle Mu Tie and others are idle. Let's go with me home first to change my clothes, and then go to Han Xiao's house together."
Dong Erpang agreed, but waves were already stirring in his heart. When Zhao Xifeng reached out to hit his forehead just now, he instinctively wanted to avoid it, but he couldn't keep up with the other party's speed at all!
The two walked towards Zhao Xifeng's home for a while. Dong Erpang suddenly remembered something, and hesitated to stop Zhao Xifeng, and said to him: "Fengzi, you'd better not go home first."
Zhao Xifeng said: "Why, I have been practicing for a year and have achieved success in my magical skills. Now I can't even go back to my family?"
"Your father... something happened," Dong Erpang said hesitantly, "It has been two months since the incident committed more than ten years ago. "
Zhao Xifeng was furious: "Fuck! Who doesn't know what kind of personality my father is? What kind of big case can he commit! He was detained for two months!"
"I heard that it was an affair with foreign enemies and conspiring to murder the royal princess." Dong Erpang replied softly.
For a moment, the wind was calm.
"Then I'm going to have a look even more!" Zhao Xifeng said with red eyes and gritted his teeth.
"Fengzi..."
Dong Erpang reached out to block Zhao Xifeng's face. He wanted to stop Zhao Xifeng from moving forward, but when he saw Zhao Xifeng's eyes that were almost tempted to eat people, he made a way out.
At this moment, a standing hand pressed on Zhao Xifeng's shoulder, and Zhao Xifeng looked back fiercely.
