Chapter 1639 – Chang’an

　　”Brother Seven Nights, why are you distracted?”

　　Under the azure sky, the army was rapidly rushing towards Chang’an, Wu Quan rode beside Lin Qiye and asked suspiciously.

　　”…… I just feel that there’s something strange.”

　　”Strange?”

　　”Anything that involves the gram system, there’s nothing simple, I blew up that red meteorite and released the phantom colored smoke inside …… Although it did appear something that took me by surprise, but it always felt like, there was a bit of a tiger’s head and a snake’s tail.”

　　Lin Qiye looked back at the rear again, the mountain stream that was shrouded in phantom colored smoke was so far away that it was almost invisible.

　　”He clearly could have disguised himself as any one of us, why did he choose me? Doesn’t he know that my Hongmeng Spirit Foetus is the most difficult to duplicate?”

　　”Brother Seven Nights, aren’t you thinking too much?” Wu Quan spoke up to comfort, “Even if that meteorite is really something from the gram system, it’s still just a part of it that split from the red-colored star……. It’s power, maybe it’s not even as strong as you imagined it to be?

　　Or perhaps, it didn’t expect the existence of the Hongmeng Spirit Fetus either?”

　　Lin Qiye frowned as he glanced at Wuquan beside him and suddenly asked:

　　”Wu Quan, have you collected the forbidden object that Shen Qingzhu gave you earlier?”

　　Hearing these words, Wu Quan suddenly froze and asked in confusion:

　　”When did Brother Qingzhu send me forbidden objects?”

　　Hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s expression relaxed a bit as he shook his head, “It’s nothing ……”

　　Shen Qingzhu naturally hadn’t sent Wuquan forbidden objects, Lin Qiye suddenly asked this sentence also to prevent Wuquan from being secretly switched, that phantom colored smoke was too bizarre, it was better to be cautious.

　　”Lin Qiye.” A voice came from the distance.

　　Lin Qiye turned his head to look, only to see Zhan Yuwu riding his horse, coming towards him.

　　The evil spirits during the day weren’t as rampant as at night, and after last night’s fight, the crowd was a bit tired under the warm daylight, while Zhan Yuwu’s eyes were glowing, and he was looking at Lin Qiye with a fiery gaze.

　　”Vice General Zhan.”

　　”Don’t be so polite, just call me Yuwu.” Zhan Yuwu waved his hand and said, “By the way, I just want to ask you, this strong physical body of yours, is it your special ability or did you get it by exercising later in life?”

　　”Sort of a special ability.” Lin Qiye replied vaguely.

　　Hearing this, Zhan Yuwu sighed regretfully, “I should have thought of it …… I thought that you had some special physique or a secret method for hammering your body …… If that’s the case, then I’m willing to pay any price in exchange for your secret method.”

　　”Isn’t Vice Admiral Zhan’s [Mendicant Life Flashing Moon], already very strong?”

　　Zhan Yuwu was slightly stunned, “How do you know? The name [Mendicant Flashing Moon], or Yan Zhong only came up with it yesterday ……”

　　”Didn’t I say it, I’m from the future.” Lin Qiye smiled.

　　”Tsk, you’re joking again.” Zhan Yuwu laughed dryly, “However, I want this secret method of hammering the body, not for myself, but for the Marquis …… Although the Marquis’ ability is powerful and incomparable, it seems to be extremely detrimental to longevity, so if there’s a suitable method of hammering the body, it should be able to make up for some of the longevity.

　　Although the Marquis has his own hammering method now, it’s still far from your body.”

　　Lin Qiye’s eyebrows raised, then he helplessly shook his head.

　　The saying that hammering the physical body could make up for a portion of the [Dominant Emperor’s] longevity was also the first time he knew about it, but unfortunately, his strong physical body was entirely due to the Hongmeng Spirit Foetus, and there was no so-called secret method.

　　”Speaking of which, when we were in the northwestern borderlands, we also encountered a foreigner with a strong physical body, but his strength was pathetically weak compared to yours, and this punch he threw could only destroy a house at most ……” Zhan Yuwu followed Lin Qiye around and rambled on and began to talk about what they had seen and heard along the way.

　　Lin Qiye didn’t expect that Zhan Yuwu, who originally looked calm and tough, also had such a talkative side, but he didn’t resist, riding a horse and marching was boring anyway, and being able to listen to more about this era was also good.

　　The army ran at full speed towards the direction of Chang’an, there weren’t too many evil spirits attacking in the daytime, they encountered a total of two, both were easily killed, but according to Zhan Yuwu, encountering an evil spirit in broad daylight is already quite a rare thing.

　　Time passed a little bit, the bright daylight dimmed again, and Lin Qiye’s heart gradually lifted.

　　There is only one night’s journey left before arriving at Chang’an, and judging from the previous two nights, the more the evil spirits become rampant at night, he can imagine that the army will usher in another grueling fight tonight.

　　As night gradually fell, Zhan Yuwu returned to his original position, while Lin Qiye and Wuquan stayed at the rear of the army, keeping a watchful eye on the rear.

　　Above the dark earth, a remnant of shadows swept by, and Lin Qiye could sense their line of sight, and was constantly hovering …… around the weak points of the army But strangely enough, although there were numerous evil spirits ringing the area, not a single one of them pounced on them.

　　Lin Qiye had thought that they were waiting for the right moment, but in a blink of an eye, half of the night had passed and the entire army still hadn’t suffered any attacks.

　　”Why did they suddenly settle down today?” Lin Qiye spoke in puzzlement.

　　”Maybe we killed them scared last night? Didn’t not many evil spirits dare to strike yesterday until the latter part of the night?” Wu Quan thought about it and said.

　　Lin Qiye’s brows tightened as he thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only possibility.

　　Out of everyone’s expectation, the last night before arriving at Chang’an was exceptionally smooth, the army didn’t suffer any attacks, and by the time a splash of fish-belly white surfaced in the sky, a towering magnificent city wall appeared in everyone’s view.

　　”Chang’an, it’s here.” Zhan Yuwu muttered.

　　Lin Qiye and Wu Quan looked out at the city wall in the distance, only to see that under the dawn, there were already many figures at the city gates, waiting to enter the city.

　　”It’s just dawn, aren’t they afraid of evil spirits?” Wu Quan asked.

　　”Chang’an is the residence of the Son of Heaven, the dragon’s qi gathers like a natural barrier that can disperse evil spirits, so the danger suffered here is much lighter than other places.” Zhan Yuwu paused and continued, “But along the way, there were rumors that Chang’an was also affected by evil spirits …… I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

　　Dragon Qi ……

　　Lin Qiye recalled the sea island that guarded the national fortune, in modern times there was no such thing as a son of heaven, so the national fortune and dragon qi were artificially diverted to the bottom of the sea island, in a sense that was the heart of the qi, and the Chang’an at the moment was the same.

　　Perhaps seeing Huo Zaizi’s banner, a general immediately came out of Chang’an city, Huo Zaizi rode forward and exchanged with him for a few moments, and then allowed the army to be stationed at the edge of Chang’an city, which can be sheltered by the dragon’s qi, and also does not disturb the people’s life in the city.

　　Huo Daizi brought a few generals and Yan Zhong, and walked up to Lin Qiye.

　　”Let’s go, follow this waiter into the city.”
