Late at night.

Lu An yawned, slowly got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body. At this time, he suddenly heard the neighing sound of war horses coming from the front, followed by a sound of horse hooves, and then the sound gradually drifted away.

"It's so late, you still have to go out? It seems that those two people are very troublesome. It's better not to participate, so it's better to get in the fire at that time." Lu An muttered, then took out the black round stone, which looked very cold in his hand. After a look, it looked very eye-catching.

"What is this thing? It doesn't feel like an ordinary stone. I always feel a strange aura, strange, Yayue." Lu An muttered, then shouted Yayue directly.

Yayue instantly rushed out from the side and landed on the ground, looking at Lu An with a puzzled look.

Lu An handed over the stone and let it smell it, "How is it? Do you know what it is? Can you eat it?"

Yayue smelled it twice, and shouted with disgust.

"Don't like it? It seems to be just a special stone." Lu An muttered.

Then he went back to the room and saw Wei Yang still writing words with pain. Lu An lay directly on the bed and narrowed his eyes.

The next day.

Before dawn, Lu An got up early. He went out and found a place where no one was left. He pulled out the cold blood. A feeling of coldness surged from his hands, and he suddenly became energetic.

The coldness on the sword kept pouring up to his body, but a warmth was pouring out from the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, helping Lu An resist the biting coldness.

Although I could still feel this chill, Lu An's idea of ​​using the cold blood sword flexibly became stronger and stronger.

After leaving Qufu City, Lu An took out the Cold Blood Sword as usual, when he was preparing to condense his body, a warm current suddenly emerged from the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, which directly dispelled part of the coldness in his hand. This discovery really made Lu An excited for a long time.

After studying it, I found that this warmth may be related to Vermilion Bird, which will automatically keep warm. This type of behavior occurred when I fought with Liang Hanshui before, and of course Vermilion Bird was forced at that time.

The last time the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness was almost collapsed, and after repairing it, Lu An felt a big difference. First of all, the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness is amazingly large. Lu An has never carefully studied how big it is. Anyway, it is several times larger than before, and it is almost impossible to see at a glance. And the strangest thing is that it is still slowly expanding and extending outward.

The other is Zhuque, which is different from before, and it looks more and more real. When Lu An woke up, the feather stripes on Zhuque's body looked extremely clear, but they still had an illusory feeling.

But after this period of time, it has grown a circle and become fatter, and it gives people the feeling it is real, with skin, flesh and hair, especially those eyes, which are getting brighter and brighter, and even their pupils appear particularly clear.

Nowadays, Suzaku no longer shrinks into a group like before, and always falls into a deep sleep. Now he is flying around in the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness every day. He is very comfortable and tired, so he lies on the ground and takes a nap, or just rectifies his feathers there.

Sometimes Lu An even wondered if there was really a Suzaku living in his own sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, not just a remnant soul.

Only when I saw the feathers dropped by Suzaku turned into a red breath, I realized that it was not real.

Now I am in the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness and I am finally quite good. I am no longer as simple as before, with no appearance. Now I am exactly the same in appearance and outfit.

This huge change made Lu An remember what Fatty Fan said. It was very beneficial, but it was really very beneficial.

Although I don’t know what this change means, Lu An now feels that these two hundred spiritual crystal spirits are not losing money. If you make a profit or not, you have to figure it out later.

But now the most intuitive benefit is that the time Lu An used cold blood has increased greatly.

Lu An tried to hold on for three minutes without being forced to hold on, and the time is gradually increasing. Before, it only lasted for thirty seconds, but now it has increased several times.

This amount of time is enough for Lu An. If he cannot solve the other party during this period, it will be useless to give him more time.

Lu An felt a biting cold in his hands, and his brows immediately frowned tightly, then immediately took the Hanxue Sword back, let out a light breath, and a smile appeared on his face, and found that today was a few seconds longer than before.

Although not much, if you can increase it for one second every day, you can use the Cold Blood Sword freely over time.

He put Han Xue back on his back, then took out the hilt of the sword. As soon as he started, his aura changed instantly, and an invisible sword energy spread out instantly, and Lu An's clothes were immediately windless.

Looking ahead, Lu An was extremely focused.

Draw a sword.

Horizontal chop.

No wind, no blade, no shadow.

As the hilt of the sword slowly slid, the weeds in front were gently stroked, as if there was really a sword slowly tugging the grass.

Since the arrival of Jiangcheng, Lu An has been holding it and practicing it for tens of thousands of times in the past six months.

Finally, not long ago, Lu An discovered a slight difference. In the past, Lu An just imagined that this was a sword and was practicing, but he felt something was wrong as he practiced.

After setting off the sword, there was really a sword wind. Although it was very weak and even cutting the grass could not be cut, it did exist.

The hilt of the sword seemed to condense a sword body out of thin air, but it was extremely weak now and had not yet become a real sword blade.

However, this shadowless sword blade can only appear when Lu An is extremely focused, and it does not appear all the time. This also makes Lu An feel confused and has never understood the reason.

But Lu An realized that this thing was definitely a treasure, and an extremely precious treasure. He had been lying in the dark corner of Jiangcheng for so many years and had been put together with so many fragments of the sword technique. He was definitely not an ordinary thing. He was probably much more precious than the cold blood sword on his back, but he just couldn't use it now.

But Lu An doesn't have much more than anything now, just a lot of time, so he will slowly grop.

Thinking of this, Lu An was glad for this choice at that time. If he had chosen something else, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life. He raised the hilt of the sword with a smile and shook it. The ragged red silk on the hilt of the sword immediately floated up with the breeze.

Lu An took a look and sighed sadly. It was very stylish but seemed a bit ugly. It would have been a little longer than the red silk.

Then he put away the hilt of the sword, Lu An stretched and began to walk back.

"Young master, get up so early?" Lao Gao greeted with a smile, holding a large bag of vegetables in his hand.

"Have you bought all the early dishes so early?" Lu An responded.

Lao Gao laughed twice before entering the house, and shouted, "Should you wait and have a meal."

Lu An responded, and then prepared to go into the house and call the two of them to get up.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Li getting up, holding a pen in his hand, thinking about something there, while Wei Yang was still snoring with the quilt in his arms.

"Sir, I woke up so early today?" Lu An teased.

Li Li nodded, "I am old and can't sleep even if I want to. I wake up as soon as my son goes out."

"Sir, I've been practicing calligraphy early this morning?" Lu An said admiringly.

Li Li smiled and replied, "At my age, this word is basically like this. I guess I can't practice anything anymore. Didn't I get a pen because I had some ideas before? I was inspired by the young master. Now I want to write it down and show it to Yanger in the future, so I am now thinking about what the name is."

After hearing this, Lu An burst into laughter and looked closer, "I've been out for so long. You haven't even thought about your name yet. Oh? Didn't you write a word, sutra? What kind of sutra is it going to be called?"

Li Li covered up the word casually and replied shyly: "Young master, don't make fun of me, haha, don't worry, think about it slowly."

After saying that, he called Wei Yang directly.

Wei Yang, who was confused, yawned five times in a row. After a long time of rest, he slowly got dressed and was pushed to wash up by Li Li.

After struggling for a long time, after Wei Yang finished washing up, he heard Lao Gao shouting to eat noodles there. Wei Yang instantly became energetic and ran to the first one.

Halfway through the meal, Wei Yang suddenly paused and asked in confusion: "Where are those generals from yesterday? Why didn't you see it?"

"I left last night. You wrote too seriously, so I didn't hear any sounds." Lu An replied.

"Is that so? Then I won't be afraid, eat slowly, otherwise I'm afraid that the person would come to snatch my noodles yesterday." Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

When Li Li heard this, he was a little displeased and scolded, "How do you say it? It's delicious noodles, no big or small."

Wei Yang pouted at Li Li who was consuming noodles with his head down, shook his head again, with a look of needing a beating on his face.

Lu An glanced at him and gave a look, "So slick?"

After being hit by this, Wei Yang immediately became honest and started to eat noodles obediently.

"Lao Gao, how long will it take if we arrive in Shangqiu?" Li Li, who had finished eating noodles, started chatting with Lao Gao.

"It's only about ten days. If you are in a hurry and ride a horse, it will probably take less than two days to arrive." Lao Gao replied.

"I'm old and can't even get on the way." Li Li laughed at himself.

Lao Gao laughed and said, "That's okay, then take your time. There are many small towns to rest on the next road, and you can basically encounter one or two towns in a day."

When Li Li heard this, his face suddenly showed joy, "It's so good."

"Qufu City is a border town, so from there and heading into the Great Zhou territory, there will be more and more small towns along the way. As long as you walk along the main road, it will not be a hard time to catch up." Lao Gao continued to explain.

Then the two peers chatted for a while, and Li Li also heard a lot of good news from Lao Gao.

Dazhou is of great help to students who want to take the college entrance examination. During the exam, food and accommodation are all included. If you pass the exam, then food, clothing and accommodation are all included in the college entrance examination, and basically you don’t have to spend money. There will be a small subsidy every year.

Secondly, the high status of scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty may be related to their long-term atmosphere. No matter who meets scholars, they are polite. Of course, scholars also speak based on their talents. The higher the talent, the higher the status. Therefore, many poor nobles appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If students in the future are capable, they can also study in the Imperial Academy.

The ultimate college of Dazhou, Taixue, can even be called the Longmen. As long as you can enter, it will be basically a foregone conclusion for a fourth-rank doctor in the future.

The Great Zhou attached great importance to learning Yizi. The three major dynasties in the northern border, the Great Zhou's attitude towards scholars can be said to be unique, and it is even less powerful than that of cultivating immortals.

After learning about these situations, Li Li became more confident about this study tour, and his eyes looked at Wei Yang were even more anticipated.

After the three of them finished their breakfast, they set off immediately.

Along the way.

Yangxing was still fisting vigorously, meticulous and well-behaved.

Li Li also gave up his mind and no longer cared about Wei Yang's boxing practice. He kept muttering all the way, either frowning or showing off his face. Anyway, he was immersed in his own world.

Seeing that these two people were doing their own things seriously, Lu An immediately took out the hilt of the sword and looked for a feeling as he walked.

Just like this, the few people walked into the evening without realizing it. On this day, the three of them had not even said a word, which was the first time in how long.

"It's getting late, my son, let's spend the night in the town ahead, right?" Li Li said, looking at the town not far away.

Lu An put away the hilt of the sword and nodded.

Just as the three of them walked towards the town, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves coming from behind, and there were a large number of them.
