As soon as Zhou Qingfeng entered the high-walled prison, he saw Chu Ying wrapped in a raging flame of spiritual power with his Third Eye. The light of the flame was so strong that it could produce a dazzling effect, making people unable to look directly at it.
Yuan Qingying and Ye Na didn't have the Third Eye's ability to see through the surface and see the essence. They used a luminous pearl as a light source, and what they saw in their eyes was the miasma spreading in the dark courtyard, as well as the vague figures in the miasma. This figure had great power, which gave people a great sense of oppression before it got close. This was suppression on the spiritual level.
The cultivation of the two women was far higher than that of Zhou Qingfeng. When they came in, they were fully alert, and when they saw this strange figure, they were even more ready to fight. Yuan Qingying waved the sharp sword in her hand, and a few small tornadoes roared out, blowing away the miasma that blocked the sight in the courtyard.
Ye Na stabbed the huge sword in her hands down, and the bluestone on the ground cracked, and a circular pentagram rose immediately. She held the hilt of the sword and knelt on one knee, slightly closed her eyes and prayed, "My Lord, protect me." The tall woman's body immediately lit up with a layer of white holy light, and behind her even appeared a humanoid shadow. It was a two-winged angel holding a sword and a shield, sacred and inviolable.
Zhou Qingfeng stood between the two women. He looked at Yuan Qingying and Ye Na, feeling that his companions' momentum was unusual. Even if he lost, he couldn't afford to lose. So, he grabbed his super cute Transformation Wand and raised it high, shouting in a deep voice, "Ancestors, the Chinese people are in the most dangerous time. I am willing to sacrifice myself to save the country. Please lend me a hand!"
The two girls subconsciously turned their heads to look at Zhou Qingfeng, wondering what this guy was trying to say. Because Zhou Qingfeng was the weakest among the three of them, whether it was to show off or to fight.
However, the transformation wand was integrated with Zhou Qingfeng's best East Pearl, so it could store some spiritual power. Zhou Qingfeng's thinking was very simple. He wanted to stimulate it and create a more dazzling visual effect. At least in terms of momentum, it couldn't be worse than the two girls beside him. As a man, no matter what, he still wanted his face.
Zhou Qingfeng thought that if his wand could produce a few sparks, it would be enough to show that he was not to be trifled with. But after he shouted those words, there were no sparks, but the situation around him changed. The airflow around him suddenly became chaotic and surged endlessly, blowing the corners of his clothes fiercely. A strong wind blew against his face.
The earth shook like the beating of war drums, rumbling. The gloomy sky trembled, and suddenly, countless cracks appeared. Surging flames gushed out, as if the air itself was burning. Chariots after chariots, horses after horses, and groups of armored soldiers rushed out from the crack in the sky. In just a short while, the entire sky was filled with flags fluttering in the wind and bugles blaring. It was as if everyone was in a hot blooded battlefield.
Behind the army, huge figures emerged from the cracks in the sky one after another. They were all famous historical figures in China's history. There was a man wearing a nine-headed crown and a black royal robe. He was domineering enough to sweep through the world and swallow everything. This was the first emperor. There was a man with a long beard. He was dressed in plain clothes and wielded a sword to slay snakes. He unified the world and founded the country for thousands of years. This was the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, the ancestor of the Tang Sect, Emperor Song, and countless capable officials, generals, scholars, and poets. One by one, familiar or unfamiliar figures kept appearing. They were either wearing expensive hats or riding on white horses with silver spears. Some were walking while singing, and some were impassioned. Thousands of years of history seemed to be condensed in this moment.
Zhou Qingfeng put all his attention into it. His whole body trembled as he watched. He was excited and wished that he could follow his ancestors and be willing to be a pawn. It was just that the shadows of his ancestors appeared and disappeared. They looked at the ground and sighed, covering their faces as they left.
In the end, the tip of the wand really did produce a few sparks. After a few pops, all the strange phenomena disappeared. The dark and cold night appeared again, as if nothing had happened.
Uh … go on, go on!
Zhou Qingfeng was still foolishly holding the wand high, his head twisting to look at the sky. The two women by his side were also dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the kid by their side would make such a big scene. Even the majestic Chu Ying in the high-walled prison was looking up at the sky, not knowing what was going on.
Zhou Qingfeng just wanted to show off a little, but he did not expect it to be like this?!
After a while, Zhou Qingfeng retracted his hand. After confirming that there were no changes, he smiled awkwardly and said, "My illusion is not bad, right? The scene is quite scary. It's not worse than the two of you. "
"You think this is an illusion? You're a dizzy idiot, you're the idiot. "Yuan Qingying really wanted to hit Zhou Qingfeng's head with a stick a few times. "God is really unfair. Why is it so good to you?"
Ye Na also sighed and said, "Those in the sky just now were the ancestors of the Han family, right? This is the first time I've seen such a scene. Our family's leader often prays for the gods to appear, but he never gets a response. "
Zhou Qingfeng looked at the two-winged angel shadow floating behind Ye Na. "I think this is pretty good. Didn't you just shout 'My Lord, protect me'? Isn't that the gods responding to you? "
Ye Na's mouth twitched. "That's my support spell. I built it with my own spiritual power. What does it have to do with the gods?"
Ah …? Then you scared me with your act.
Yuan Qingying was even more shocked than Ye Na, even more than when she saw Zhou Qingfeng travel through time and space. She looked at Zhou Qingfeng as if it was the first time she saw him. Finally, she silently opened the collar in front of her chest and took out the 'Heaven Patching Stone' that she had just asked for. She handed it to Zhou Qingfeng and said, "Hey … I'm returning it to you."
"Don't you want to use it to heal? Give it to me after you're healed. " Although it was a little strange, Zhou Qingfeng realized that the commotion he had caused caused Yuan Qingying to change. He generously pushed the stone back and said, "Last night, you stabbed me with a needle. What was that for?"
"It was a poisonous needle. I'll give you a pill. You'll be fine after you eat it."
"This commotion is a little big. Why don't we leave first? I'm afraid the guards in the city will be here soon."
"Don't worry. This is the ancestor's spirit. Only the people around you can see it. Others won't be able to detect it." Yuan Qingying shook her head. She was a little depressed and unhappy as she said, "This kind of ancestor's spirit only appears when the emperor worships in the imperial ancestral temple. I saw it once with my master in my early years. It wasn't as big as yours, and only the ancestors of Daming came out.
But you casually called out all the ancestors, including the first emperor. This can only be done at Mount Tai or at the Tomb of the Ancestral Dragon. Could it be … Could it be … My heart is in a mess. I don't dare to guess. "
Yuan Qingying really didn't know what to say. Her mind was in a mess. If the people of the Imperial Astronomer found out about this, the entire court would be in chaos. This was a sign that the world was going to change. The current emperor would have to issue a few edicts to calm things down.
However, this sudden phenomenon made Yuan Qingying understand one thing — the ancestors recognized Zhou Qingfeng. Zhou Qingfeng naturally wasn't a disciple who would forget his ancestors and acknowledge a traitor as his father. Otherwise, the ancestors wouldn't have come out. However, after the ancestors came out, they all sighed and disappeared. This made people even more confused.
The descent of a true dragon in every dynasty would cause the world to change. Those who were favored by the ancestors would definitely have something special and would be respected by the people. Logically speaking, since Zhou Qingfeng had called out to the ancestor, he should have received the protection of the ancestor. There would be great benefits, and it could even directly raise his cultivation level from the beginner level to the peak of 'bones', 'qi and blood', and 'divine soul'. This would allow him to command the world and no one would dare to disobey.
Unfortunately, the ancestors didn't do this … They seemed to be very disappointed.
Zhou Qingfeng was also full of doubts. He asked in a low voice, "Do the ancestors really exist?"
Yuan Qingying was even more shocked. "As long as the descendants worship them all year round and the incense continues, the consciousness of the ancestors will naturally be eternal. Ordinary people can at least remember a few generations of ancestors within a hundred years. And the ancestors of China from one to two thousand years ago are naturally worshiped by the whole world. You actually don't know? " She grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's neck with one hand and asked, "Are you a man of my Han family?"
"Nonsense, of course I am." Zhou Qingfeng angrily broke free from Yuan Qingying's hand. "There's no doubt about that."
"But why don't you know anything?"
"I've never seen the ancestors before. How would I know that they really exist?"
"When you worship your ancestors, don't your ancestral graves emit smoke?"
Uh … Zhou Qingfeng really couldn't answer this question. "My ancestral graves never emit smoke. If it does, it's usually because it's on fire."
Ye Na said in a low voice, "Maybe Zhou Qingfeng is like me, a believer of God and doesn't respect the ancestors."
"Wrong, I'm an atheist. I worship my ancestors. It's just that the ancestors of my family … were a bit lazy. " Zhou Qingfeng felt that this topic was really confusing. He also needed to sort out the meaning behind it. "We'll talk about this in the future. We'll talk about it in the future."
Ye Na snatched the Transformation Wand from Zhou Qingfeng's hand. She also infused spiritual energy into it and activated it. But this magical wand was completely useless in her hand. There was no reaction at all. She then handed the wand to Yuan Qingying. "You try it. See if you can also transform or summon the ancestors."
Yuan Qingying had never seen such a strange magic artifact like Zhou Qingfeng's. She solemnly took the wand and carefully activated it. In the end, the Transformation Wand did not transform or summon the ancestors. Instead, a beam of light appeared at the top of the heart-shaped wand and finally turned into a … lightsaber?
Yuan Qingying waved the lightsaber for a while and even slashed the ground lightly. The green bricks on the ground suddenly emitted light smoke and a shallow cut appeared. Ye Na shouted in surprise, "This lightsaber is so sharp."
But Yuan Qingying shook her head and said, "This lightsaber is sharp, but it's too light. It's also formless. If it can't cut through other people's weapons, it naturally can't defend against other people's attacks. If a rookie uses it, I'm afraid he'll die even faster. Also, I can't use it to cast spells. This thing doesn't suit me. "
"Let me try it. I didn't think this thing could be used like this." Zhou Qingfeng took the lightsaber and felt like a Sith Warrior. But after a while, the lightsaber disappeared and returned to the form of a wand. "What's going on?"
"Your cultivation is too low. You can't use this thing." Yuan Qingying explained, "It's really strange. Your magic tool is too special. It's completely different from the ones we use. I've never seen such a magic tool before. "
Zhou Qingfeng wanted to sigh at this point, but Chu Ying finally lost his patience. The man and two women in front of him came to the high-walled prison and completely ignored his majesty. It was as if they had entered an amusement park. They were calling their ancestors and testing the lightsaber, but now they actually had the time to chat. This was simply a blatant mockery.
"Are you done?" Chu Ying roared angrily, causing the chains on his body to clank. "You three Han people from the Ming Kingdom, what are you doing here?"
Inside the high-walled prison was a huge cage. It was built with iron pillars as thick as a child's arm. Chu Ying was locked in this cage. He sat on the ground and endured the wind and rain. He was quite tall and had a large frame. When he stood, he was two meters tall. Five chains were locked around his limbs and neck, restricting his range of movement and affecting his exertion of strength.
Chu Ying's clothes were already torn and tattered. His whole body stank. Due to the long period of starvation, he was skinny like a skeleton. But even so, his voice was still full of energy. His gaze was like a wolf's, extremely threatening.
"I want to let you out." Zhou Qingfeng said.
"Hahaha … Kid, you want to let me out because you want to get some benefits from me, right?" Chu Ying suddenly took two steps forward. The five chains rattled and firmly restrained him. He stared at Zhou Qingfeng with a sinister smile and said, "But if I get out, the first thing I'll eat is you."
Chu Ying's entire body was filled with energy. His hair and beard fluttered in anger. Through his consciousness, he sent words directly into Zhou Qingfeng's mind. His aura was raised to the extreme. It made one's heart beat faster and shudder. Even though they knew that this guy was trapped in the cage and could not get out, Yuan Qingying and Ye Na unconsciously tensed their muscles and looked at him with hostility.
"Uhh … Alright. I'm scared. " Zhou Qingfeng patted his chest. His expression was a bit ugly. "You're too strong. I don't think I can handle you. Forget it. You can continue to stay in the cage. Anyway, you'll be executed at the end of the month. It's good to end this once and for all. Although I didn't gain anything, I didn't lose much either. "
Zhou Qingfeng turned and left. Yuan Qingying and Ye Na were both taken aback, but they still followed suit.
Chu Ying in the cage was admiring Zhou Qingfeng's stunned expression. But when he saw Zhou Qingfeng really leave, he was also stunned. His crazed expression quickly disappeared.
Walking out of the high-walled prison, Yuan Qingying said in a low voice, "That guy is too arrogant. It's good to leave him hanging."
Ye Na also said, "Let him beg us. We'll go in later."
After a while, Chu Ying's shout came from inside the high walls. "You can't fool me with your little tricks. I won't fall for it. You must have something to ask of me. Let's see who can keep their composure. I won't lose to you. "
However, Zhou Qingfeng did not stay outside the high walls. He walked straight towards the inner city. Yuan Qingying and Ye Na felt strange. They asked him what he wanted to talk about. How long did he want to leave Chu Ying hanging?
"Let's go back first. I'm scared. My heart is thumping and my forehead is sweating." Zhou Qingfeng had a 'I'm so weak' look on his face.
The two girls were speechless. They had no choice but to send Zhou Qingfeng back to the 'Elixir Workshop'.
Chu Ying waited and waited inside the high-walled prison, but he didn't see anyone come in again. When he was unhappy, he shouted in a deep voice, "Alright, come in. The wind outside is strong. You must be uncomfortable. "
The wind outside the high walls was really strong. The dust on the ground was blown away. There was not even a shadow of a person.
After a while, Chu Ying shouted, "It's almost dawn. It's not good to be seen. Come in. "
"Are the three of you coming in or not?"
"You're not really leaving, are you?"
"If you don't come in, I'll be angry."
