Chapter 415: Chapter 415 – Phoenix? Luan? Bi Fang?

 He never imagined that this place was where Zhao Zi Long had trained his soldiers.

This was inconsistent with any sort of logic.

In an economic society where money was important, historical sites and famous people’s possessions could bring in money.

Li Bai, one of China’s famous poets, was having his birthplace being argued about within and out of the country.

Zhao Zi Long was also considered a very famous figure. At the very least in China, there should be no household that did not know his name. There were many portrayals of him in television, movies, and even books.

For a famous historical figure like him, the place where he had trained his soldiers was not well known at all. This was inconceivable to Wei Xiao Bei.

The people entering this location might be few, but not noticing what he had should have been impossible. Moreover, in springtime, the number of students coming to play here should at least reach the thousands.

 How could so many people not even see this monument?

Wei Xiao Bei became very interested in the monument. He used his phone to take a lot of pictures and prepared to have a professional take a look.

No matter what was said, the price of the stone monument would not be small unless it was fake.

After inspecting the stone monument a bit more, Wei Xiao Bei felt that some of his questions when he was studying had been answered.

Wei Xiao Bei knew that any great person’s words were not bad. Learning and practicing were inseparable. Studying without practice was useless.

Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei moved his attention to the pool of water. He used a tree branch to make a simple fishing rod and began to fish by the pool.

Perhaps because the fish in the pool were not familiar with people and with his advanced level [Fishing] skill, Wei Xiao Bei was able to catch more than ten small silver-white fishes.

These kinds of fish could be found all over the country and were commonly known as spades based on their shape.

The bones of this fish were small and it was usually boiled in soup or deep-fried.

Thus, Wei Xiao Bei pulled out a pan from his storage bag and placed it over a fire as he made preparations. Afterward, he placed the cornstarch wrapped fish in the oil.

However, when Wei Xiao Bei took a bite out of the cooked fish, he was stunned. The outside of the fish was already golden brown and ready to eat, but the inside was not hot at all. Ignoring whether the inside was raw or not, when Wei Xiao Bei swallowed it, he felt yin energy pass through his stomach. In a few seconds, the yin energy became warm again, as if it were a warm sun rising over the horizon that made humans feel comfort all over.

Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if the curse on his body had reduced.

In regards to the curse, Wei Xiao Bei had not encountered any unfortunate things since he entered this place. At most, his foot would hit rocks while he was walking, but no bird droppings fell.

However, after eating the spade, his foot did not hit any stone at all.

In other words, whether it was the pool or the fish, both were able to decrease the bad luck on his body. It was only when both were added together did the effects become clearer.

After contemplating, Wei Xiao Bei threw a [Status Aprpaisal] at the cooked fish.

Name: Fried Spadefish (High Quality)

Description: Main ingredient: Spadefish. Auxilliary Ingredient: Cornstarch.

Effect 1: Slightly recover stamina.

Effect 2: Because the spadefish lived in the weakest boundary between reality and the Dust World, it had received power from it. It possesses the power to suppress and remove negative effects.

Effect 3: After eating this, the host will be forcefully be sent into the Dust World after five minutes.

Seeing the description, Wei Xiao Bei’s understanding of it was what he had expected.

However, the ability of the fish to weaken and remove negative effects was already enough to make it a treasure.

Perhaps the effect of being forcefully sent into the Dust World had affected its quality.

If this thing was eaten in a much more dangerous place, then tragedy would ensue.

Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei’s face turned green.

It could be said that any place that he did not know well was a bad place.

However, he could not change his fate.

Wei Xiao Bei put away his pan and blacked out. When he opened his eyes, the scene in front of him appeared to not have changed. Whether it was the pool or the waterfall, nothing had changed.

 Wasn’t I jsut forcefully pulled into the Dust World?

However, in the next moment, he heard a shout that confirmed he was in the Dust World.

“Stand still! Who are you?”

A person who had a tone from ancient times walked with fierce footsteps toward Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei turned to look and saw more than ten soldiers from ancient times surrounding him with spears, swords, and shields. They all wore leather armor with a purple-red cotton shirt underneath.

They appeared similar to Han Dynasty soldiers. The reason why he thought of this could be explained.

It must be known that Wei Xiao Bei had used up a lot of his time to study archeology. Although most of the information was from ancient Rome and ancient Egypt, there had also been some from ancient China. Thus, Wei Xiao Bei’s books involved elements that were becoming very helpful now. One book contained information on ancient military, their weapons, their armors, and various other details.

These soldiers could be identified from their clothes and weapons. The ring swords on their hands were long and straight with a front edge, but it did not have the forged tang of the sword.

Naturally, the most important characteristic was the Han character on their leather armor.

Moreover, from the Han character, Wei Xiao Bei had guessed that they were the soldiers of Shu Han from the Three Kingdoms.

After making a connection to the stone monument, it was easy to identify who these soldiers were.

 I can’t be this unlucky right?

After entering the Dust World, he had immediately been noticed.

Although he was currently very strong, he simply did not want to fight with Zhao Zi Long.

This was not only due to how he looked up to him but also because he did not believe Zhao Zi Long to be weaker than him.

This could be understood after thinking for a bit.

What was more unfortunate was that there were barracks close by. To be more accurate, the barracks had surrounded the pool.

There would always be water closeby to a barracks. This was written in The Art of War.

In other words, Wei Xiao Bei appearing close to the barracks was due to the importance of water.

“I”

In the next instant, Wei Xiao Bei was prepared to lie that he was a businessman from a different region. This could not be helped as Wei Xiao Bei’s clothes made it impossible to believe that he was a citizen of Shu Han.

Naturally, even if Wei Xiao Bei said he was a businessman from a different region, he would probably be locked up and be decapitated the next day as they would treat him as a spy. The military of the Han period was very strict.

The training in this era was nothing to scoff at.

In truth, even after the end of the Han, the soldiers were still the elite of the elites with their strict rules.

Naturally, the amount of time he was locked up for would be enough to allow him to escape.

If it was truly no good, he would borrow the Ming Lun Envoy’s Proof to teleport out.

However, before Wei Xiao Bei could lie, he heard a high-pitched bird cry. Afterward, the sound of thunder came from the barrack, or to be more accurate the sound of drums.

Since ancient times, the Chinese army used the sound of drums to relay messages.

Because he heard this, the soldiers that were planning to arrest Wei Xiao Bei hesitated for an instant but still advanced towards him.

“I am a good person! I have come to help you!”

In the end, Wei Xiao Bei had chosen ambiguous words. If he could take the initiative to show some kindness, then the Han soldiers would treat him better when the time comes.

The next thing that happened was as Wei Xiao Bei imagined. When he had given up resistance, the soldiers treated him better. Although they were still alert and bound Wei Xiao Bei’s hands, they did not shame him too much.

Naturally, this was also because Wei Xiao Bei did not carry any weapons. If he had the great spear at hand, then no matter how beautiful Wei Xiao Bei’s words were, it would be hard for him to escape the fate of being pinned as a spy.

The common treatment for captives was to be dragged by a rope by a horse. This was also the reason why ancient generals would be much more willing to fight to the death as this was too shameful.

Before Wei Xiao Bei was brought too far, the scene he saw was too amazing.

In the distance, a big cyan bird suddenly appeared. Red clouds had surrounded it and a trail of red flames followed it. From time to time sparks would come down from it, and the high pitched sound from before came from it.

 Phoenix? Luan?

Seeing the cyan-colored bird, Wei Xiao Bei’s guess was it was a phoenix or luan.

Naturally, it did not look much like a phoenix. After all, everyone knew that a phoenix looked much more brilliant and noble.

However, it also did not look like a luan. Although Wei Xiao Bei’s image of divine birds like phoenixes and luans only came from games and pictures, the cyan bird in front looked more like a cyan crane with a white snout.

The most important thing was its cry.

“Bi Fang! Bi Fang!

 This is the famous Bi Fang?

It was said that Bi Fangs were an omen of fire in ancient China. Its rank was not lower than the phoenix or luan of legends, as it was also a divine bird.

It was said that when Chian’s founding emperor, the Yellow Emperor, Xuan Yuan, gathered the supernatural beings in Mt. Tai, the Bi Fang had been waited upon by the emperor. This showed how high its position was.
