Chapter 164 A Strange and Unusual Heart Seeking the Dao
Chapter 164 A Strange and Unusual Heart Seeking the Dao
The first person was a young girl who was assigned to the Martial Hall by Zhu Ge.
The girl was petite and dressed in thin cloth, like a kitten.
However, judging from the situation, this girl is known as the "Earthly Assassin," an assassin who takes on murder jobs in Jianshui City year-round.
However, this girl only kills people she considers bad.
She takes on jobs that she considers righteous, such as a rich man forcibly abducting a woman and then being paid by the woman's father to kill the rich man, or someone paying to kill a womanizer.
Because of the girl's petite stature, she is particularly good at hiding as a beggar, and her body can also suddenly burst up from the ground to kill her target.
The term "ground turner" refers to someone who can make various turning movements on the ground and then use their hands to take the life of the perpetrator.
Zhu Ge was speechless that such a pretty girl was called "Earth Cripple." Who the hell came up with that title?
"Bai Chi, come closer." Zhu Ge looked at the girl standing blankly two feet away from him and shook his head: "I need to test whether you have any martial arts talent first."
The white dragon immediately moved two steps to the side towards the blessing song.
Zhu Ge immediately reached out.
"Palace Master, be careful!" Suddenly, a man exclaimed.
Be careful?
Zhu Ge raised an eyebrow.
"call out!!!"
The next moment, the white dragon's right hand, shaped like a claw, reached out to grab Zhu Ge's genitals.
The white dragon's right hand had fingernails that were about one centimeter long, sharp and pointed, and each fingernail was coated with a light green substance.
If you hold on tight, you can definitely cut off about the amount of meat equivalent to two eggs or a sausage.
Moreover, the toxins in those nails can kill infected individuals.
"Bang!"
Zhu Ge quickly and gently grasped Bai Chi's wrist with her hand.
Looking into Bai Chi's eyes again, they were filled with confusion and dazedness.
Clearly, this was a subconscious reaction from Bai Chi, rather than an intentional attack.
"Oh my God!"
"What is this woman trying to do?"
"They even dared to attack the Palace Master?!"
The surrounding disciples gasped in surprise.
They didn't have Zhu Ge's keen eyesight, so they naturally didn't know that the girl's actions were entirely instinctive.
Just like the knee-jerk reaction, killing became an instinctive reaction for the girl.
However, the girl's reaction made all the men present feel a chilling sense of dread.
Even Zhu Ge, who has cultivated an indestructible body, was somewhat frightened, let alone them.
He's being caught by Bai Chi right now, but even if Bai Chi wanted to puncture Zhu Ge's cornea, it wouldn't be possible.
Zhu Ge, who cultivates the "Great Sun Lapis Lazuli Body," should theoretically have been able to refine and temper even the most vulnerable parts of his body, making them as hard as diamonds.
But what man isn't afraid?
"Ah! Palace Master, Palace Master, I, I—" Bai Chi also realized that his instinctive reaction had almost caused Zhu Ge to have no offspring, and hurriedly apologized.
However, the white dragon seems to rarely communicate with people, so it just keeps saying "I I I" without actually saying anything.
"It's alright." Zhu Ge shook her head, suddenly feeling a wave of exhaustion and headache.
This is only the first disciple; there are thirty-five more to come.
Although these people were all "carefully selected" by him, there's a feeling that those who are "carefully selected" might all be oddballs.
Who knows how many more unexpected problems will arise in the future?
"Just give me your hand."
Zhu Ge stopped touching other people's stomachs, even though there were clothes between them; it was actually a case of him not thinking things through.
"However, my blood flows from your hand to your lower dantian, so your meridians will be a little sore. Please bear with it," Zhu Ge said.
The girl could only nod hurriedly.
Then, Zhu Ge drew a wisp of blood energy from his martial arts heart and sent it to the White Dragon Lower Yuan Palace.
After a moment, Zhu Ge withdrew his blood energy and nodded slightly: "Your Lower Yuan Palace reacted quite well to my blood energy, and your aptitude for martial arts is decent. You can choose a cultivation method yourself, and reaching the late stage of the first realm should not be a problem."
"However, I am aware of your goal. This goal does not conflict with your cultivation. You should focus on your cultivation first. If you achieve success in your cultivation in the future, I can teach you how to reach your goal."
"Thank you, Palace Master!" Bai Chi quickly made a gesture to kneel down.
She probably noticed that many people express their gratitude by kneeling or bowing.
However, Zhu Ge helped her up and said to the others, "From now on, you don't need to kneel down. You can simply clasp your hands in greeting or bow to me. Just show each other basic respect."
After saying that, he said to Bai Chi, "You can go down now."
Bai Chi quickly stood to the side, head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Zhu Ge then looked at the next person.
He could have revealed Bai Chi's goals and ideals, but he decided it was better not to.
Because the white dragon's ideal was to enter the Six Paths Palace and then fall in love.
That's right. It's about marriage.
Within the illusion, Bai Chi cultivated for over six hundred years.
The purpose of cultivation is to find someone of the same realm who can suppress one's cultivation, and then marry them.
And it's not enough to just be better than yourself for a short time; you have to be better than yourself all the time.
So the illusion made her grow stronger according to her changing moods, but she still couldn't find her ideal husband.
The results of it?
As a result, this young woman spent six hundred years searching for a husband!
She would find someone every day and fight with someone of the same level. She would win and lose against different people, but she never completely fell in love with anyone.
Zhu Ge had only ever heard of unwavering devotion to the Dao and unwavering desire for immortality; this was the first time she had ever witnessed a young girl with such unwavering devotion to love.
Even many people who initially sought immortality could not endure sitting in meditation for more than a few decades.
There have been instances where a young girl secluded herself for two hundred years in order to fall in love.
His perseverance is truly admirable.
However, after today's interaction, Zhu Ge felt that if Bai Chi's future husband didn't cultivate invulnerability, he would probably suffer a lot.
"Next, it's your turn."
Zhu Ge looked towards the next person.
This is a tall, slender man holding a pair of scissors. He is known as Double, and his name is Zhang Bajian.
However, despite his imposing name, he has a effeminate personality, somewhat like the eunuch played by Chen Kun in Zhu Ge's previous life.
"Palace Master, I've arrived!"
Zhang Bajian quickly went up the mountain, then arched his body forward and presented his lower body to Zhu Ge.
Zhu Ge then placed his hand on the lower abdomen and probed it with his blood and qi.
"Hmm, your talent is a bit lacking." Zhu Ge said calmly, "It might take you five or six years to cultivate your blood qi. Let me take another look at your Confucian and Taoist talent."
Then comes the infusion of literary spirit.
"Your talent in Confucianism and Taoism is even worse." Zhu Ge shook his head: "For now, you should continue to cultivate martial arts. You're next."
"Yes, Palace Master!" Zhang Bajian didn't seem to care.
After all, he is someone who has passed the test of Zhu Ge's unwavering determination, and he will not easily give up because of a lack of talent.
Zhu Ge was aware of this, so she looked at the next person.
