That day, the Water Moon Mirror Flower Elder of the Tian Gong Mountain Villa had seen him before, but how many people under the sky could recognize Tang Feng? As long as he found a suitable opportunity to enter the Tian Gong Mountain Villa, even if it was from the lowest level of disciples, he would have the chance to sneak a peek at the secrets of the Tian Gong Mountain Villa's mechanical arts. This was a behavior of stealing the sect's secrets, and once discovered, not only would Tang Feng be in trouble, but Tian Xiu might also be affected, so it had to be done secretly. If only he could change his appearance, that would be great.
Of course, this idea only existed in Tang Feng's mind and he didn't tell anyone. He just told Xiao Shu and Duan Shu that he wanted to go out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, the two great killing gods looked at each other and burst out laughing when they heard Tang Feng make this decision.
Xiao Shu said, "Even if you don't say it, I and Lao Duan have also thought about letting you go out and travel on your own. You are indeed very safe within Tian Xiu, with me and Lao Duan here to protect you, no one dares to come looking for trouble, even if someone does, we will chase them away. But this is not a long-term solution. Last time you went alone to Qu Ting Mountain, although you suffered a lot, wasn't the gain also great? A person's strength grows slowly through encountering setbacks and blows. So, we also want you to go out and take a walk."
Duan Qiuzhi nodded beside him and said, "Since you have this idea now, it saves me and Lao Tang from wasting our breath. I don't know where you want to go?"
Tang Feng shook his head: "I haven't thought about those things for the time being, and I don't know much about the outside world either. I just plan to go out and take a casual walk."
Tang Fei Xiao looked at Duan Qi Chi, chuckled and said, "If that's the case, I and Old Tang have a good place to recommend to you."
"Where?" Tang Feng asked in confusion.
"Wulong Fort Thirty Miles Outside Yancheng"
Tang Feng furrowed his brow: "Yancheng Wulong Fortress? Where is that place, what's special about it? Why do you two want me to go there?"
Tang Fei smiled and said, "Yancheng is several thousand miles away from Tianxiu. This city is by the sea, and its main product is salt, so it's called Yancheng. Thirty miles west of the city, there's a place called Wulongbao. It's not particularly special, but I think you're quite skilled in hidden weapons and mechanisms. If we go there, we might gain something unexpected."
Tang Feng's eyes lit up in front of him, and he opened his mouth to say: "Could it be that the people from that place are also proficient in mechanical techniques? Just like the Tian Gong Mountain Villa?"
Tang Fei smiled and nodded while scratching his chin, "En, very proficient, even in some special fields, it's more powerful than the Tian Gong Mountain Villa."
Tang Feng's eyes shone brightly as he heard this, originally he had planned to go to the Tian Gong Mountain Villa, but wanting to enter one of Li Tang's three major powers would definitely be extremely difficult, now there was actually a ready-made place to go, how could he not be delighted?
Duan Shu coughed softly and asked, "Feng Shao, do you want to go to this place?"
Tang Feng nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice: "Want to, of course I want to go. But I'm not familiar with the place, if I went there, would others care about me?"
The two great killing gods looked at each other again, and smiled mysteriously. Tang Fei reached into his sleeve and pulled out a token-like object, saying with a smirk: "If it were someone else going, the people of Wulong Fortress might not even see them. But for you, Feng Shao... come, take this thing, when you get there just show them this token and the people of Wulong Fortress will definitely welcome you with open arms."
"It's very enthusiastic, and not just ordinary enthusiasm." Duan Qichi added from the side.
Tang Feng hastily took the token and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully. The token was made of bronze, not large, only about the size of a palm. On the token was engraved a magnificent tall building, with every detail vividly depicted. However, the token seemed to be quite old, with some places worn smooth.
Tang Feixiao explained on the side: "Many years ago, I and Lao Duan saved the life of the lord of Wulong Fortress. At that time, he gave each of us a token like this and promised that in the future, whoever holds this token can ask him to do one thing that does not go against his conscience."
Tang Feng sneered: "The two great killing gods would also save people back then, I thought you only knew how to kill."
Tang Fei smiled dryly and said, "Just a momentary kindness."
"Then this building on top should be the Wulong Fort style?"
"Yes, yes." Tang Fei hastily nodded.
Tang Feng hastily stuffed the token into his bosom and asked, "By the way, how did the people of Wulong Fortress become proficient in mechanical engineering? Isn't it only the Tian Gong Mountain Villa that excels in this field?"
"Uh..." Tang Fei smiled and swallowed his saliva, quietly poking Du Qiuzi with his elbow. Du Qiuzi hastily continued beside him: "As the rumor goes, it's said that someone from Wulong Fortress once sneaked a peek at the Tian Gong Manor's Tian Gong diagram, so they understood some of the mechanisms. Afterwards, they focused on improving and researching these mechanisms, and slowly surpassed Tian Gong Manor in this aspect."
"Right, right, right." Tang Fei laughed and nodded repeatedly, "It's exactly like this, it's been too long, I've almost forgotten, but Lao Duan still remembers clearly."
Tang Feng looked at them with some doubt, feeling that something was off in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Won't the people of Tian Gong Mountain Villa pursue this?"
"What's the point of pursuing this? Wulong Fort is too far from Tian Gong Manor, and they also occupy an overseas island. Can't those who can't beat Tian Gong Manor just run away? Besides, this kind of thing is just a rumor. Even if they really did peek at the Tian Gong diagram, as long as Tian Gong Manor doesn't catch any concrete evidence, it's unlikely that they will make a big fuss about pursuing this."
"You... aren't making this up, are you? I have a weird feeling." Tang Feng stared intently at the two great killing gods.
Tang Feixiao put his head together with Duan Qishi, and the two old men burst out laughing like flowers. "Feng Shao, do you think we look like we're telling lies?"
Tang Feng suddenly got goosebumps all over his body and said, "Stop smiling, it's disgusting. Forget it, Young Master will go to Wulong Fortress and see if he can learn anything useful from there."
Tang Fei laughed and hastily asked: "Feng Shao, when are you planning to leave? I and Lao Duan will see you off."
"It's still early, I'll go tell Auntie anyway, don't know when she'll be back." Tang Feng waved his hand and headed towards the medicine room. Since he decided to go out and travel, he should at least bring some wound-healing medicine and golden injury medicine with him.
The entire Tianxiu refined these medicines are all Mo Liu Su's, Tang Feng wants to go find her and get some to carry on his body, in preparation for any unexpected situation.
Looking at Tang Feng's gradually disappearing back, the two great killing gods still maintained that disgusting pose of killing people without paying their lives, with smiles on their faces.
Duan Qiuzhi spoke in a soft voice: "Feng Shao, why don't you leave?"
Tang Fei smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, it's better to wait a while longer. He just had some suspicions, what if he suddenly turns back to take a look at us two? Wouldn't that blow our cover?"
"Let's keep it this way for a while."
After waiting for about half a stick of incense, the two great killers suddenly and simultaneously let out a breath, using their hands to rub their old faces vigorously, taking a good while to recover.
"My face is numb."
Duan Qiuzhi expressed some concern: "Old Tang, isn't what we're doing a bit unethical?"
Tang Fei's smile faded, and his expression turned serious. He nodded solemnly: "It's not just immoral, it's extremely immoral. But there's no other way, Feng Shao is not interested in food, drink, or women, only hidden weapons and mechanical techniques can attract him. What other tricks could we use to deceive him?"
"Wait a minute," said Qiuzi, "I didn't mean that. What I meant was, should we tell him the truth or not?"
Tang Fei Xiao hastily waved his hand: "This is absolutely not to be told, if he knew the truth, how could he still pass? Although we are deceiving him, it's also for his own good. Feng Shao must grow up thoroughly, you see him, in just a few days after coming down from Qu Ting Mountain, he has already offended White Emperor City, Liu Yun Sect and Wan Shou Sect three factions. With his personality and temper, the number of people he will offend in the future is feared to be more. If he doesn't have some real power, how can he protect himself? You and I cannot always be protecting him. Moreover, he has a two-year appointment with Little Lazy Girl, if after two years his strength is not enough, he won't even have the face to go to White Emperor City to find the girl he likes."
"Alas." Qi Cuo sighed and said, "I'm afraid our actions will end up hurting him."
"You're worrying too much." Tang Fei said with a smile, "You and I also came out of that place back then. Now, Feng Shao is no weaker than we were at the beginning. We both made it out, how could he fail? That place may be called a purgatory on earth, but it can indeed suppress one's potential. To be honest, if possible, I wouldn't want Feng Shao to go there either. We could train him ourselves, but everyone is too familiar with each other, making it hard to take action, so we have no choice but to rely on that place."
"I hope he won't change his personality after leaving there."
Tang Fei laughed loudly: "Old Duan, if you had seen Feng Shao's killing methods, you wouldn't be so worried. Don't forget, he has killed thousands of people, and if he could change his nature, he would have done so long ago. What I admire about Feng Shao is not his talent or potential, but that he can maintain his original heart, even after killing many people, he won't become brutal or cruel. This kind of temperament is very rare."
He let out a long sigh, thinking back to the days when he and Tang Fei would emerge from that place, their entire being like a sharp knife, with an aura of murder radiating outward, completely disregarding human life. With just one thought, they could take a life or end it. This was what led to their later reputation as heavenly killers. But now, thinking back on it, he realized that this was all due to his immature nature at the time. If only he had been able to maintain his true self, would he and Tang Fei have needed so much time to dispel the killing aura and evil energy from their bodies?
Past events are unbearable to recall
