Chapter 427 The troubled times have come!

Ren Yingying's rebirth brought a series of problems.

For example, the secret of rebirth, including Xin Zhen and Ren Yingying, including why they were reborn, how they were reborn, etc.

But the first and foremost impact is the impact of Ren Yingying's rebirth on Xin Zhen's identity in this world.

Xin Zhen couldn't let Ren Yingying spread the news that he was a reborn person, as there were many issues involved.

First of all, the reborn person will inevitably face the distrust of the local indigenous people. Xin Zhen doesn’t know whether there are reborn people in this world, what the attitude of the indigenous people towards the reborn people is, and whether they will regard the reborn people as evil spirits. These are all unknown. Therefore, neither he nor Ren Yingying can spread this secret.

The second is her engagement with Fan. Although the royal family has been wiped out, Fan's power has not weakened. It will even expand rapidly in a short period of time.

The Fan family of Luyang was originally a prominent family. Now that the imperial power is in decline, the Fan family, like other forces, will definitely become a local separatist force and will definitely become a local lord. If Xin Zhen turns against them now, he may encounter great trouble in the future.

Therefore, Xin Zhen decided to explain everything to Ren Yingying.

He and Ren Yingying have supported each other throughout their lives in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and naturally they trust each other very much. Ren Yingying is also a woman with a sense of the overall situation, so Xin Zhen explained to Ren Yingying some general circumstances of his travels through the worlds of The Return of the Condor Heroes, The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber, and the worlds of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

Ren Yingying was very shocked, but she quickly calmed down, stroking Xin Zhen's cheek and smiling happily.

Xin Zhen was a little puzzled and asked, "Yingying, what's wrong?"

Ren Yingying smiled and said, "So, apart from Zhou Zhiruo, you have never loved any other woman, right?"

Xin Zhen said with some shame: "But I have also married many women, especially when I was the emperor."

Ren Yingying smiled and said, "You have been reincarnated, so you don't have to stay single for your whole life because of me. You have been reincarnated for so many lifetimes, but you only fell in love with one woman. I am very satisfied."

Xin Zhen laughed and looked at Ren Yingying who was smiling happily. He was really happy. After many reincarnations, the only women he truly loved were Ren Yingying and Zhou Zhiruo. Even Zhou Zhiruo was not as good as Ren Yingying.

Zhou Zhiruo was a very good wife, but Ren Yingying and Xin Zhen were truly soul mates. During their decades of marriage, whenever they had free time, they would study music together and travel around the country. They were true soul mates.

Let’s not talk about his previous lives, even after being reborn into the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio for more than ten years, Xin Zhen still feels very lonely. There are too many memories in his heart, and it is difficult for him to completely integrate into this world. There are many things that no one can tell.

Of course, he is also very strong inside, but being strong does not mean that he is not lonely. Ren Yingying's arrival makes Xin Zhen's heart full again.

Ren Yingying could also feel Xin Zhen's happiness. She hugged Xin Zhen's head tightly against her chest, letting her man feel her softness. She whispered softly, "Brother Zhen, I want to grow old with you in this life."

Xin Zhen turned over and climbed up, and the room was filled with spring.

After a long time, the two hugged each other, and Xin Zhen began to think about the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter. This Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter was only a very small part of the Nine Yin Scriptures, but it was the so-called sacred book of the demon clan. Was this a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement?

If it was a coincidence, it would be fine, but if it was an intentional arrangement, does it mean that the entire Nine Yin Scriptures is also the sacred book of the demon clan?

Xin Zhen suddenly thought of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and the Destroying Divine Claw. This attack method seemed to be somewhat similar to that of monsters?

The snake-like movements and raccoon-like flips are directly adapted from the movements of snakes and raccoons, or are they simply the monsters' own method of making their bodies light?

Is the White Python Whip Technique the monsters’ own way of using weapons?

Is it the Soul Transferring Technique or a method used by monsters to enhance their talent for charm?
The more Xin Zhen thought about it, the more frightened he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely. He felt that many of the skills in the Nine Yin Scriptures were extremely suitable for monsters to practice, and could greatly bring out their physical advantages.

If this is the case, then is the general principle of the Nine Yin Scriptures also a preparation for monsters?

You can give it a try!
Anyway, it is difficult for a woman to practice his Pure Yang Wuji Gong, so it is better to let Ren Yingying practice the Nine Yin Scriptures. She is a demon now, so maybe there will be unexpected surprises?

Xin Zhen stood up and told Ren Yingying about the matter. Ren Yingying nodded and said, "Let's give it a try. What I learned before is just mortal martial arts, which are not very useful in this world of gods and demons. Now I can't find a method suitable for me to practice for a while. Then I'll try the Nine Yin Manual. Maybe there will be a surprise."

That’s why Xin Zhen was so happy about Ren Yingying’s arrival. The tacit understanding between the couple is something that ordinary people cannot match.

Xin Zhen passed the general outline of the Nine Yin Scriptures to Ren Yingying, asking her to practice diligently. Seeing that it was already bright outside, he got up and prepared to go to the Daoluo Si. Xin Zhen explained the precautions to Ren Yingying here, then went out to make arrangements with Xin Qi and Feng Sanniang before going to the Daoluo Si with peace of mind.

Just before leaving, Xin Zhen hesitated for a moment, waved to Feng Sanniang, and said, "Sanniang, come here."

Feng Sanniang didn't understand why, and thought Xin Zhen was still worried, so she smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Miss Ren and won't let anyone bully her."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Of course this must be done well. Come, I have some tips to pass on to you, please remember them."

As he spoke, Xin Zhen recited the formula of the Soul Transferring Technique one by one. After listening to a short section, Feng Sanniang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she cried out in a hushed voice, "Master, this is the magical power of seizing souls and taking away spirits!"

Xin Zhen's eyes lit up, and he asked, "The power to capture souls and spirits?"

Feng Sanniang quickly whispered, "This is the most famous magical power of the ancient fox clan Tushan. Even among the Tushan clan foxes, not everyone can practice it. Only the nobles of the Tushan clan can learn it. Because this soul-stealing magical power is so powerful, it is regarded as a treasure of the Tushan clan! Sir, where did you get this skill from?"

Xin Zhen narrowed his eyes when he heard this, things seemed to be getting more and more interesting. The I Ching Bone Tempering Chapter was the demon clan's sacred method of shapeshifting, the Soul Transferring Technique was Tushan clan's magical power to capture souls, so were the others also the demon clan's supreme skills?

The Nine Yin Scriptures is actually a collection of the sacred texts of all the demon tribes?
Is Huang Shang a human or a monster?
Could it be that the great demon from Liao Zhai had traveled through time and space to the world of Jin Yong? Xin Zhen looked at Feng Sanniang and said, "Sanniang."

Upon hearing this, Feng Sanniang knelt down and pointed her index finger at her forehead without saying anything. Xin Zhen didn't understand what she meant, but he saw a crystal bead of blood oozing out of Feng Sanniang's forehead and floating on her index finger.

Feng Sanniang looked a little pale, and said with a smile: "My lord, this is my heart blood that has merged with a trace of my soul. I will merge it into your soul. From now on, you can decide my life or death with just one word. If you die, I will not be able to live alone."

Xin Zhen was surprised and asked, "Why is it so?"

Feng Sanniang said, "The shapeshifting method and the soul-stealing and spirit-stealing magical power are both supreme sacred texts of the demon race. Sanniang claims to be from the Xuzhou Feng family, but compared with the four ancient fox tribes, she is actually not much better than a wild fox on the hill. Young master, you don't despise me and pass on the shapeshifting method and the soul-stealing and spirit-stealing magical power to me. If I deceive you and don't trust you with my life, then I am too despicable."

Xin Zhen frowned and said, "It's fine to decide your life or death with just one word. I won't take your life, but if I die, you can't live alone. This is not appropriate. I am a human being and you are a demon. If I fail to cultivate, I can only live for a hundred years, but you are a demon, so I'm afraid you can live for at least several hundred years. Isn't this too much of a loss?"

Feng Sanniang smiled and said, "Young Master is gifted. He will definitely be able to enter the seventh realm and achieve the Golden Body. A warrior who has entered the Golden Body can live to 150 years old. If he can further enter the Yuhua realm, his life span can reach 300 years. If he can become a master of the ultimate realm, he can live to 500 years old!
Even among the fox tribe, if they cannot break through the limit, only a few can live to be 500 years old. Moreover, if you have pity on me, you can break this limit by then."

Xin Zhen laughed when he heard this and said, "I can break it, right? That's fine, but I trust you, so there's no need to do this."

Feng Sanniang smiled and said, "Sanniang still wants to learn more from you, young master. Please take my life quickly so that I can practice with peace of mind and you can also trust me to teach me more."

Xin Zhen thought about it and it was true. In his previous lives, he taught his disciples according to their talents. He taught them whatever skills they were able to learn without any intention of keeping anything to themselves. But that was because Xin Zhen himself was the best in the world, so even if his disciples wanted to do something bad to him, he had the confidence to deal with it.

But this world is different. Although Feng Sanniang is not as good as me now, if she practices the sacred text of the demon clan, she may be able to surpass me.

The human heart is treacherous and unpredictable. Now Feng Sanniang is grateful and will definitely not do anything bad to him. But what about in the future? What if the Feng fox clan forces him?

I think Feng Sanniang also figured this out, so she decided to burn her boats, give up all thoughts, and sacrifice her life to gain his trust.

Whatever.

Xin Zhen asked Feng Sanniang how to integrate the heart blood. Feng Sanniang told him the trick, and Xin Zhen integrated the heart blood into the soul. After a while, Xin Zhen opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Feng Sanniang. Feng Sanniang smiled but said nothing, but Xin Zhen knew Feng Sanniang's emotions very well.

Xin Zhen tried to touch Feng Sanniang with his mind, and Feng Sanniang immediately blushed, whimpered, and could not even stand. The next moment, she turned into a fox with very beautiful fur, lying on the ground with her butt shaking violently.

Xin Zhen: “…”

Xin Zhen was too embarrassed to look at it any longer and quickly left for the Daoluo Division.

Xin Zhen left for a long time before the fox transformed into Feng Sanniang. However, her face was still red. She spat and said, "This big pervert!"

Xin Zhen rushed to the Chilong Temple and came to Zuo Xuanyi's office, which was where Zhang Gongyu and Zuo Xuanyi's subordinates worked together. Xin Zhen was entrusted with an important task by Zhang Gongyu, and was responsible for clerical work such as registering personnel, recording situations in various places, and recording the merits submitted by people who practiced martial arts.

Because Chaotian Palace was destroyed, thousands of years of data were destroyed, including personnel information, cultivation methods, intelligence from various places, etc. It can be said that most of the foundation of the Daoluo Division was destroyed.

The work we are doing now is to make up for the losses as much as possible, first collect the information kept by the Daoluo Si in various places, then re-register the personnel, and then centrally organize the cultivation methods of personnel from various places.

But even so, it can only make up for a small part.

Many of the top-secret information of the Daoluosi is not archived locally. If it is damaged, it is damaged. The local information is just local information and there is no way to make up for it.

It is relatively simple to make a personnel list, but only some of the people in the open can be notified. There are still many spies hiding in the local area, and even spies who have infiltrated the demon tribe, but no one knows about them and they may be lost.

The loss of martial arts techniques was even greater. Thousands of years of collection of Dao Lu Si just disappeared. The martial arts techniques practiced by the staff of Dao Lu Si were just a drop in the bucket compared to that thousands of years of collection.

The work is still very heavy. Many people have rushed back in the past few days. Just today, Xin Zhen has registered thousands of people. The skills they handed in are even more varied, which dazzled Xin Zhen and made him salivate.

However, the collection of martial arts secret manuals was not managed by Xin Zhen, but was the work of the performers. Otherwise, Xin Zhen would not have to consider making any achievements and could just learn from them when he got his hands on them.

There was a flurry of activity at Zuo Xuanyi's office, and other office buildings were also very busy. Occasionally, when Xin Zhen looked up, he could see people riding on clouds in the sky, or landing on flying swords and various other flying instruments.

None of these people looked relaxed, most of them were murderous, and some even came back with their heads in their hands.

The troops of the Daoluosi were also going in and out, carrying swords and guns, and when they came back they were escorting people, followed by a large number of carriages and horses, which were unloaded with a lot of property, all of which were things seized from the houses.

Xin Zhen learned from his colleagues that those were the family members and property of the purged Beijing officials, and there was also news that the rebels were suppressed by the Daoluosi.

From what he saw in Zuo Xuanyi's palace, Xin Zhen could imagine that a new wave of blood and gore was about to break out in the capital city, which had already become a ruin.

There are also waves of infighting going on in the court. The bloody storm will not stop until a new ruler comes to power and the disobedient officials are purged. But it will not stop, because the local governments will react quickly. Those who want to compete for the throne will nominate their own new rulers and then fight against each other.

Some would target the capital's legitimacy and raise the banner of purging the emperor to attack the capital. If the Daolu Si wanted to gain legitimacy, they would first have to repel the army that was coming to support the king, and then conquer the places one by one, or they could retreat to the capital and only have a legitimacy, but their decrees would not even reach the city gates.

A troubled time has come.
