Chapter 68 Breaking Armor
The evening of February 12, 2018
In the suite of the head of the Divine Sword Tower, Chen Qingming looked at the letter unfolding in his hand and frowned slightly.
"Chen Bailing? Who is this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jiu's calm voice came from behind him: "Chen Bailing, male, 1474-1574, a person from Shencheng, formerly the lord of Shencheng City, president of Shencheng Immortal Cultivators Association, president of Shencheng Weapon Refining Association, honorary elder of Wuxiangjian Academy..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Qingming interrupted in surprise: "Is this the former Lord of Shencheng? That is...my ancestor?"
Wang Jiu said: "According to the historical classics left by the Shen family, you should indeed inherit some of the tiny bloodlines of Chen Bailing, unless the Shen family modified history according to the conventions of human ruling institutions. Chen Bailing in real history was cuckolded and raised other people's children. However, considering that the city lord and his family always retained the pure Shen family bloodlines, it might as well speculate that the person who cuckolded Chen Bailing was his brother Chen Wanwei."
Chen Qingming was already stunned: "You...have you used your so-called intelligence index 9 for this kind of whimsical imagination?"
But at this time the girl was too lazy to discuss her own ethical issues with Tianwai Banjian, and asked instead: "Why would a Shen family be chosen for the racing event? I thought that the enemy was all evil demons and heretics."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a chuckle from outside the bedroom: "This ancestor Chen Bailing is indeed an evil heretic in the history of the Shen family... Of course, it is not that he did something evil that was incompatible with the laws of nature and disobeyed human ethics, but that this person's temperament is really weird. Do you know why he is called Chen Bailing?"
Of course, this kind of historical details cannot be difficult for the intelligence index as high as 9 points, and the God of Heaven that has already read the Shen family's history books.
"When Chen Bailing was diagnosed with a natural blockage of meridians when he was young, his muscles, physical strength, and mental strength were the last of his peers. Not to mention that compared with immortals, even ordinary people were not as good as ordinary people. If he had no Jin Tang to extend his life, he would not live to be 10 years old. However, although Chen Bailing was in a state of disgrace, he was determined and upright. At the age of 8, Chen Bailing, who had just recognized the hundred words, vowed to break the cage of fate and change his name to Chen Bailing, which means he must live to one hundred years old."
Hearing this, Chen Qingming exclaimed: "It is natural that all the meridians in the body are blocked? It is amazing to be born like this. It actually made him last until he was 100 years old!?"
Shen Ying smiled bitterly: "What's the point of extending his life to 100 years old? When he was just born, people decided that he would torture and torture in the hospital bed until he was 10 years old, and died of exhaustion. As a result, he learned the first set of boxing at the age of 6, and forced his meridians to open up one line with the pain of blockage of hundreds of meridians, and practiced boxing to the third level, and sublimated his muscles and bones. At the age of 8, people concluded that he was insulated from the superior martial arts throughout his life. As a result, at the age of 10, he cultivated his superior internal skills and opened several meridians. At this point, he had a nearly ordinary physique and his life spanned to over 30 years old. Later, people said that he was insulated from the immortals, so he broke at the age of 24. The wind rises when the barriers rise, the wind rises when the clouds rise when the age of 30, the clouds rise when the age of 35, and the rain falls when the age of 45... Ordinary people usually find it difficult to improve their immortal cultivation after the age of 35, but he has made steady progress, one footprint a year, and reached the peak of the Fuyu Realm at the age of 50. Although he has not been able to enter the Paishan Realm further in his life, in the Xiangzhou Continent 500 years ago, there are not as many monks in the Paishan Realm as today. Although the ancestor Chen Bailing did not have the Paishan Realm realm, he is invincible in the Paishan Realm. Such immortal cultivators are unquestionable masters even today. Aged 100, of course, it is not his life expectancy limit."
Chen Qingming couldn't help but be immersed in his memory.
This ancestor who has been fighting against fate all his life, a life brief of a few hundred words alone shows legendary color. A man born with a disconnected meridian actually practiced to the top ranks of the mainland by his willpower. After more than 500 years, it really makes people sigh.
Then there was also doubt. Why did such a person's life path last only at a hundred years? Even if the lifespan of immortal cultivators in Xiangzhou has dropped significantly compared to the Jiuzhou era, the monks in the Cover Rain Realm have at least two or three hundred years of life.
Could it be that he died in the battlefield? But...even if the environment around Shencheng hundreds of years ago was not so chaotic that even the head of the Shen family in the Fuyu Realm died on the Chaos battlefield?
"It was suicide." Shen Ying explained everything, "Because he swore to live to 100 years old, he explained to everyone at his 100th birthday that he had no regrets in his life. God loved him very much, and he should not be too greedy in life. Moreover, he would not be shameless in repent at the age of 100, so he left his 8-year-old daughter, his 22-year-old wife, his 21-year-old concubine, his 20-year-old lover and his 19-year-old confidante, and ran to the next mountain to cause a thunder to survive the tribulation.
"Wait a moment, I always feel that there are any problems with these ages!"
Shen Ying smiled: "In short, the ancestor Bailing is such a person who is completely unpredictable to things. When he was alive, he never taboos life and death. He often said that when a person died, there is no need to be taboo when the dead end is approaching... So he often likes to commit suicide, such as adding self from various eras in the battle formation map, and then inviting his tribe members to challenge in various ways. It is said that his favorite thing is to see young talents in the family killing themselves of the same age group in a variety of ways..."
Hearing this, Li Wanqing asked curiously: "I want to ask for a gossip. Are so many of his confidantes all have strong temperaments?"
Shen Yingqi said: "How do you know? The first wife of the ancestor Bailing is a famous domineering lady from the Lu family in Lingshan City. She usually likes to bully the ancestor Bailing. It is said... It is said that the ancestor Bailing does everything he does at home, and does not tell her. Occasionally, she also has to wash his wife's feet... However, these things are mentioned in private chats with some family elders, and they have never written them in the official history."
"I'm really a person who knows what he knows..." Li Wanqing kept twitching, but she didn't bother with such idle anecdotes anymore, and asked seriously, "What's the awesomeness of this Chen Bailing? What's the point of martial arts and magic weapons?"
Shen Ying said: "Sorry, I haven't paid attention to this..."
Chen Qingming was also convinced: "You remember the 22-year-old first wife and the 18-year-old confidante so clearly! You haven't paid attention to this kind of serious matter!?"
Shen Ying defended: "There will always be people pay attention to this kind of serious business, but if I don't pay attention to his romantic anecdotes, they may gradually be lost."
"Don't worry, there will definitely be novelists picking up these things later!"
The Shen family’s gossip genius is not very useful, but there are people who are most useful in the end.
"The words of Chen Bailing, the book records that he fought against destiny throughout his life, and paid the most attention to a tenacity, and his martial arts were mainly defense. At that time, Shencheng, which advocated offense and then attack, was considered quite alternative."
"It's mainly about defense. No wonder I was hired as an honorary elder of the Wuxiangjian Academy. Using such a role to do racing is really a bit difficult. How can we outsiders know Chen Bailing's strategy tips?"
Shen Ying said: "We can tell you just like that. First, no one has fought against the ancestor Bailing in the battle formation diagram for many years. After all, many of his playing styles are outdated. And he is really annoyed. No matter how you fight, you can't kill him. In the same realm, it is difficult to break his defense without special skills... Our Shen family generally doesn't like fighting with such opponents. Second, Chen Bailing is the city lord of Shen City and the leader of the Shen family. Many of his information are strictly confidential, and we can see it. So we still lack understanding of this ancestor who was more than 500 years ago. Now you have obtained the racing topic in advance and have a very advantageous position."
Chen Qingming deeply agreed that with a combat expert like Wang Jiu, even if he gave a tip on the spot, he could have a miraculous effect. What's more, he got the racing question two days in advance. Prepare for a little and win the off guardian of the outer courtyard. It should be easy.
"Haha, now it's easy to take revenge!"
At the same time, in the outer courtyard of the Shen family, Chen Feihu breathed a long sigh and clenched his fists hard.
After some hard investigation, he finally found combat information related to Shen Bailing's ancestor in a yellowed ancient book in the Outer Court Library.
Generally speaking, the relevant information of the city lord of Shencheng will be strictly kept confidential and only limited parts will be published to the public. The contents involved in martial arts and other contents are even cumbersome procedures for even the Shen family to check.
However, there are always some details that the reviewers did not notice, and inadvertently leaked the secrets.
For example, in this autobiography of Chen Bailing's classmate from the outer school, many details of fighting side by side with Shen Bailing are recorded. Although there is no positive description, as long as you compare the known materials, it is not difficult to infer the characteristics of the exercises that Chen Bailing showed at various stages in the outer school.
"Since it is a battle formation map racing, the mirror image of Bailing's ancestor from Yunyong Realm to Fanyun Realm should be selected. During this period, the most powerful method of Bailing's ancestor was a set of ice-fallen armors he created with his own hands. Not only is it indestructible, but when wearing armor to fight, heavy ice will continue to fall around him to attack his opponents, and at the same time, they are almost completely immune to the water power in the five elements... If such an opponent cannot know in advance and prepare early, he will suffer a great loss before he goes on the field. Fortunately, he is prepared now..."
Beside him, Chen Qing frowned: "So what if I was prepared? I have heard of the famous ice flew armor. It was the top-notch armor that the ancestor Bailing accidentally collected objects from outside the sky when he was young. Even if it was not inferior to Li Wanqing's Yuqing Dao Moral Armor. If it appeared in the battle formation map in a strengthened form, it would be difficult to break the defense!"
"Of course it's difficult to fist without hands," said Chen Feihu. "But there is no requirement for racing to use magic weapons. If you use targeted magic weapons to attack, no matter how good the armor is, there will be flaws."
Chen Qing had a bad premonition when he heard this: "A targeted magic weapon? You don't want to say..."
