Practice Remembering You

Chapter 20: Going Down the Mountain, Considering, and Observing

"Speed ​​up?"

When they first heard this word, they were both a little confused, but Zhang Yu and Wu Mengjie were both smart people and they quickly figured out what it was.

They are both stuck at the second-rate peak strength now. Apart from speeding up, what else can they do?

However, even though they thought of it, they still wanted to confirm: "Master Zheng, when you say speed up, do you mean our martial arts realm?"

"Of course, what else could it be?" Zheng Qianli smiled frankly.

"That's great!" The two jumped up happily, as if the fatigue just now was fake.

"I wonder how to improve it?" Wu Mengjie asked.

"You are lucky, actually. Twenty miles away from our Qiuling Mountain, there is a group of bandits hiding in the mountains, often harassing the people in the villages below. The government is unwilling to send troops there because it is a remote and poor place, so it's a good opportunity for you two to deal with it."

Zhang Yu and Wu Mengjie looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

Zhang Yu scratched his head and said, "Master Zheng, why don't I understand? You mean... let the two of us go to the bandits' lair and get rid of them, and then we can become first-class masters?"

"I can't say that you will definitely succeed, but I can only say that if you go, you will most likely become a top-notch expert."

Wu Mengjie asked: "Didn't they say that the disciples who came up here cannot leave the mountain before they reach the Qi realm?"

Zheng Qianli waved his hand: "Rules are dead, people are alive, and rules vary from person to person. You two are the two most talented children ever admitted here, so it's okay to give you some privileges."

Since there was no problem, they were both happy.

Zhang Yu was full of confidence: "They are just bandits. With Master Zheng following us, we three can easily defeat them..."

"I won't do anything." Zheng Qianli interrupted Zhang Yu calmly.

Zhang Yu and Wu Mengjie looked stern, but they recovered quickly. Wu Mengjie said, "It doesn't matter if Master Zheng doesn't do anything. We have Zheng..."

"I'm not going either." Zheng Qianli interrupted again: "Only you two will go to suppress the bandits this time."

"Wait!" Zhang Yu was a little confused: "Master Zheng, you're not going? Just the two of us?"

"You heard me right, just the two of you go, I'll be waiting for your good news at the Wuzheng Hall."

"You are kidding!" Zhang Yu's eyes widened. "There must be at least a hundred bandits who can cross the mountain. Can the two of us handle them?"

"Yes." Wu Mengjie quickly added: "Those who can become bandit leaders are all people with strong martial arts skills, usually second-rate, otherwise they can't stand at all and the nearby government can deal with them.

And they must have more than just the head who knows martial arts, there must be others who know martial arts, plus a large group of subordinates, there is no way the two of us can handle it no matter how hard we think."

Zhang Qianli chuckled: "Are you two scared?"

"I..." The two were speechless for a moment.

Zhang Yu said with a stiff upper lip: "Master, this is not a question of whether you are afraid or not, isn't this just going to die?"

Zheng Qianli shrugged: "You two second-rate masters are definitely not capable of handling it, but wouldn't it be enough to become a first-rate master? I can only tell you that the opportunity to become a first-rate master is in that bandit's nest. If you get rid of the bandits, you will have a great chance of getting it.

But if you are afraid, then don't go. I am not forcing you to go. It's all up to you two to make the decision.

Anyway, even if you practice slowly every day like you are doing now, you will become a first-class master sooner or later. It’s just that the time required will be extended to several years, just like your senior brothers who have entered the true qi realm.

Well, I have told you how to speed up, so think about it carefully. "

After saying that, Zheng Qianli jumped a few times and left.

Zhang Yu and Wu Mengjie were very conflicted at this time.

"Are you going?" Wu Mengjie asked with a frown.

Zhang Yu pinched his Jingming acupoint and let out a long sigh: "Think about it and make a decision tomorrow morning. My father told me that if you encounter a big thing, you must leave enough time to think if you have room to think. Otherwise, it is easy to make wrong judgments under impulse."

"Okay then..." Wu Mengjie was also unsure at this time: "Let's both think about it carefully and decide tomorrow morning."

The two returned to their respective rooms, not knowing what they were thinking.

In the distance, Zheng Qianli and Cheng Shang stood on a stone, watching the two children return to the house from afar.

"Do you think these two children will go?" Cheng Shang said respectfully from the side.

Zheng Qianli sighed: "Why did Brother Cheng suddenly use honorifics to address me?"

"You are now a third-level magic cultivator, so etiquette cannot be abolished."

"Come on, you've been with me for over 30 years, you know what kind of person I am, just call me Brother Zheng as you always do, don't use the bureaucratic system on me. If I liked that hierarchy, I wouldn't have come to such a remote place with so little spiritual energy to cultivate."

"Haha, that's right." Cheng Shang smiled slightly: "Sure enough, it's easier this way. Brother Zheng, you haven't replied to me yet, do you think they will go?"

“I think they should go.”

"Why? Those kids before didn't choose to take risks."

"It's because of their personalities."

"Appreciate further details."

"Zhang Yu is a child with a responsible, loyal, conservative, patient, calm, and timid personality. His timidity carries a hidden madness, which can be reversed under special circumstances.

If it were just Zhang Yu himself, he would never choose to take the risk. He would be like those children in the past, thinking that they would all become monks in the end anyway and they would have plenty of life left, so there was no need to be so radical.

But there is a variable, that is, Zhang Yu is not alone now, Wu Mengjie is also here.

Wu Mengjie is a radical, competitive, self-respecting, pretentious, loyal, and impatient kid. He will definitely choose to suppress the bandits tomorrow morning.

When Wu Mengjie went to suppress the bandits, Zhang Yu was worried that something might happen if he went alone. After all, there were so many bandits, it was too dangerous. So even though he was very scared, he would bite the bullet and go with Wu Mengjie, because he had to have someone to take care of him. "

"Heh!" Cheng Shang looked at Zheng Qianli in surprise: "Usually I saw you act like you didn't care, so I thought you didn't care much about the two children. But now I see that you care much more about them than I do."

"How could I not pay attention to such a talented child?" Zheng Qianli smiled, and then thought of something: "By the way, Brother Cheng, have you noticed that there is something different about Zhang Yu?"

"What's different?" Cheng Shang tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Very talented?"

"You know I'm definitely not asking you that."

"Did Brother Zheng discover something?"

Zheng Qianli hesitated for a moment: "Logically speaking, Zhang Yu should be a mortal up to now, right? Even if he has spiritual roots and good talents, he has not come into contact with spiritual energy after all, so he is still a mortal. Is this okay?"

"No problem." Cheng Shang nodded and continued listening.

"But when I watched Zhang Yu practice martial arts, every time he was exhausted to the point of being close to his physical limit and forced himself to persist, a subtle fluctuation would appear on his body. When I first discovered it, I thought I was mistaken. After all, it was too subtle and I wouldn't notice it if I didn't pay close attention. But later, when I paid close attention, I found that it was not an illusion, but a real thing!"

"Fluctuation?" Cheng Shang was a little surprised and frowned as he asked, "Are you saying that there is a fluctuation of true energy in Zhang Yu?"

"No, I am too familiar with the fluctuation of true qi, that is definitely not the fluctuation of true qi." Zheng Qianli shook his head and denied it, then his face was very solemn: "The feeling that the fluctuation gave me was very dangerous!

My instinct tells me that even if it is just a tiny fluctuation like the one I have discovered so far, if it were to move and affect me, I would be unable to resist. "

"This is terrifying." Cheng Shang stroked his beard and sped up his pace. He could see that he was uneasy. "I've never seen such a situation before. Should I report it?"

"Let's not do it." Zheng Qianli objected: "We are too remote and the place is too small. At least here, there are all kinds of people. Zhang Yu is young and immature. Reporting him may not be a good thing."

The two chatted for a while and then went back to practice.
