Chapter 148 Small Village Shrine
In fact, all knowledge and experience are inseparable, why are there some people who don’t know how to write, but because of living for a long time, and traveling to many places, their wisdom is much better compared to ordinary people?
That’s because of experience!
Qin Shuang’s past life experience can be described as extensive and rich, so she gradually gains her own understanding of Confucianism, and her interest increases greatly.
Before you know it, the sky has darkened. Qin Shuang puts down the “Confucianism” book. Seeing that Qin Yunxia has finished her cultivation at this time, she looks at her with a happy expression. Qin Shuang can’t help smiling:
“Is there progress?”
“En!” Qin Yunxia nods with joy.
“Miss, there is a village ahead.” The sound of Yuan Ye’s voice came from outside.
Qin Shuang opens the window, leans her head out, in the dim sky light she sees an indistinct small village ahead. She can’t help rejoicing. Although she doesn’t care about sleeping outdoors, she’d rather sleep indoors.
Qin Shuang retracts her head and asks Qin Yunxia to put Confucianism back into the bookcase, ready to get off. Suddenly, the carriage stops, and outside came Yuan Ye’s voice:
“Miss, something’s not right.”
Qin Shuang’s expression changes, grabbing the sword next to her, she pushes the door and jumps out. She sees Yuan Ye has already come down from the carriage, although he has not yet pulled out the long sword on his back, but he is fully alert.
Looking to the opposite side, at this time the sun has already set behind the mountains. A touch of moonlight quietly covers the night.
Moonlight.
A small village appears in Qin Shuang’s field of view.
Silence!
Only this word can describe the feeling of Qin Shuang at this time, it seems that there is still a restless atmosphere in the silence.
This uneasy atmosphere is not visible, you can only feel it, but only a martial artist with abundant experience can feel it. If Qin Shuang did not have her previous life experience and a powerful soul, she would not feel it at this time, the disturbing atmosphere.
The small village is silent, and there is no one on the road of the village, as if it is an abandoned village.
But……
Qin Shuang doesn’t think so, because she saw the footprints on the village road, a lot of footprints. Carefully examining those houses, although some are dilapidated, but its definitely not the kind of empty house-like decay.
It’s just that……
Every household put out their lights, and no candlelight flickers in the windows.
Although Qin Shuang is very knowledgeable she does not understand what is going on in this village. Obviously there are people living in this village, but why don’t you see a single person, not even a child playing outside, and the whole village is dark and there is no light.
Qin Shuang is a cautious person, as an experienced person she is more careful. She pulls the long sword out of its sheath and walks towards the village. A figure flashes, Yuan Ye has rushed ahead, and also pulls the long sword out from his back. Qin Yunxia also jumps down from the carriage, a hand holding a sword, one hand leading the horse behind Qin Shuang.
“Sasha…”
In the silence under the moonlight, three people’s footsteps echo in the air, on the village road there is no one, looking left and right, each house door is closed, the houses are silent. There are less than a hundred households in the entire village, it can be considered a small village. In less than a quarter of an hour, Qin Shuang and them pass through the village entrance to the end of the village. The three stop and look at each other.
They are not in danger, and if they leave like this, nothing will happen. But now it is too late, and after this village there is no inn. Looking at the houses, they don’t have to sleep outdoors, right?
Only this idea Yuan Ye dare not raise, because if they stay here and Qin Shuang encounters danger, this is a responsibility he cannot afford, so he looks at Qin Shuang and asks:
“Miss, shall we move on?”
Qin Shuang looks back at the village, now the sky is completely dark, and under the moonlight the houses tower silently, giving off a sense of inexplicable oppression. The heart of Qin Shuang is filled with curiosity, she slightly shakes her head:
“Let’s go back and knock on the door and ask.”
“Good!”
The three began to walk from the end of the village to the head of the village. Yuan Ye came to a house, in front of the door, he curls up his fingers and knocks gently.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
The heavy knocking on the door echoes in the vast night sky, and it seems particularly loud. There is no response in the house. Yuan Ye slightly frowns, and then opens his mouth:
“We are weary travelers, can we ask for a cup of water to drink?”
Yuan Ye’s voice echoes in the night sky, and there is still no response in the house.
“Is there anyone?” Yuan Ye shouts again.
“Is there anyone…Someone? Anyone???”
Yuan Ye’s echoing voice drifts away in the night sky, and then the whole village is silent again. Yuan Ye looks back at Qin Shuang, Qin Shuang shakes her head and points ahead. Yuan Ye heads for the next house, and then knocks on the door, calling, but there is still no response.
Three people knock all the way down, and no one responds along the whole way. Knocking on about a dozen houses, Yuan Ye looks at Qin Shuang again. Qin Shuang frowns, looking around, and then she found in the middle of the village there is a tall building. This building you do not have to go in to know, that is the village’s ancestral hall.
“Let’s go to the ancestral hall!”
Three people then walk to the ancestral hall, arriving at the front of the hall, Yuan Ye reaches out and gently pushes. The hidden door is pushed open showing the inside, the moonlight spills in. The inside of the hall is empty, there are memorial tablets, and an offering table in front, on the table there is an incense burner, but no incense sticks. Yuan Ye walks in cautiously with his long sword.
With a glance, its clear to see that the hall is not big. Yuan Ye turns around in the hall, and then shakes his head at Qin Shuang, indicating that there is nothing in the hall. Qin Shuang puts away her sword, walking in, and looking around, and indeed there is nothing.
“Let’s rest here today.”
Qin Yunxia goes to the carriage to get some food. Yuan Ye goes out to tie the carriage to a big tree next to the hall, and then went to cut down some branches, in the hall he made a bonfire, three people surround the bonfire and eat their dry food.
“Miss, it’s weird here!” Yuan Ye looks outside the door of the ancestral hall and says softly.
“En!” Qin Shuang nods, swallowing the food in her mouth, and drinking a mouthful of water: “Wait till tomorrow, we’ll knock on the door to try again.”
“Huuu…”
The night wind blows into the hall, blowing the bonfire, the fire sways and sparks fly out. Yuan Ye gets up and closes the door, and the room soon warms up again. The three of them close their eyes and lean against the wall.

Qin Shuang reaches out and shoves the jade bottle back, softly saying: “Tianci, when you gave me a gift, I didn’t say anything at all.”
“It’s not the same! The spirit tools I gave you can’t match jade liquid….”
Qin Shuang stops him with a resolute smile: “Tianci, you also know that my meridians are blocked. Whether I can cultivate in the end depends on chance, so don’t waste it on me. With this bottle of jade liquid, your repair will have a qualitative leap in a short time, then I will rely on you to protect me. Don’t you want to protect me?”
With Qin Shuang speaking like this, Tianci naturally cannot refuse. He solemnly put that bottle of jade liquid in his arms:
“Shuang’er, I would protect you even without this bottle of jade liquid.”
In a teasing manner, Qin Shuang says: “When we were in Wangdu, you were avoiding me, and refusing to acknowledge me.”
The face of Tianci is red, he said: “At that time you always teased me….”
Qin Shuang waves her hand: “Joking, Tianci don’t take it seriously. However, this jade liquid thing must not let a third person know, otherwise not only you, I will have a scourge of killing upon me.”
“I understand!” Tianci solemnly nods.
“Well, we’ll see each other next time!” Qin Shuang cups her fists in farewell.
“See you next time!” Tianci also reciprocates, then opens the door of the carriage and jumps down, saying, “Take care!”
“Take care!”
Qin Shuang cups her fists in farewell, and then closes the door of the carriage, gently knocking on the carriage. Yuan Ye urges the carriage to head outside the city. Tianci suddenly runs a few steps forward, bending his fingers and knocking on the carriage door. Yuan Ye stops the carriage, and Qin Shuang opens the door and pokes her head out, looking at Tianci.
“Shuang’er at the kingdom’s competition, I will go to Wangdu to cheer you on.”
“En, we’ll see each other then!”
“See you in Wangdu!”
The carriage rumbles ahead.
The carriage leaves Tianqin City and heads for Lucheng city.
Lucheng.
The second largest city in the Crescent Moon Kingdom, second only to Crescent Moon City in terms of size and population. If Crescent Moon City is a city of martial artist, then Lucheng City is a city of scholars.
The Martial continent eventually became a continent that respects martial arts. So every city, including the Imperial Capital, is a place where martial artist gather. In the city, Confucianism could not compete with Martial arts, so a base for Confucianism was established in another city. Lucheng City is a city like Crescent Moon city.
As the second largest city in the capital, it is naturally far away from a small town like Tianqin City. Qin Shuang estimates that from Tianqin City to Lucheng, with the fastest speed, it will take nearly a month. This is also because Crescent Moon Kingdom is not big, if they were in a larger kingdom, to travel from the border to this big city, I’m afraid a month wouldn’t be enough.
Of course, this is a carriage ride. If you ride alone, you would save more than half the time. It would be faster if a Martial Warrior in the Kai-dan period flew. If it was a higher cultivated martial artist, such as a Martial King, from Tianqin City to Lucheng, even if he rests a few times, he can reach it in less than three days.
Qin Shuang sits in the carriage without idleness. The carriage shakes so she cannot carve spirit patterns, so she begins to cultivate. She chooses to cultivate her martial arts, not daoshu, because Qin Yunxia is still inside the carriage. Taking out a bottle of jade liquid, drinking a few drops, and then beginning to run the Fire Phoenix Treasure, enhancing her soul strength, let her soul strength reach the fourth layer of the sensing period. Constantly taking this kind of jade liquid without the slightest side effects, Qin Shuang’s cultivation is improving very rapidly. In fact, don’t say Qin Shuang, even if its a pig drinking jade liquid it would also turn into a monster.
Not to mention that her original soul power is very strong, it has reached the peak of the late Martial God. With her soul strength, the sensing period is simply a one-off thing. If she still follows the cultivation of her previous life, it wouldn’t take a day for her to move from the first layer of the sensing period to the eighth layer, and then start to impact the ninth layer, which is the first layer of the Qi-Intake period.
But Qin Shuang’s cultivation method is different in this life. She needs to ignite the fire of the soul, so she must constantly refine and condense her soul. Make it foolproof. Even so, if Qin Shuang is willing to spend time and energy to single-mindedly cultivate, then she wouldn’t even need half a year’s time, she can impact the eighth layer of the sensing period, ignite the fire of the seven spirits, and condense the spirit flame of life.
However, Qin Shuang hasn’t spent much energy on cultivation, and devotes almost all of her time to spirit pattern art, which is why she is now in the third layer of the sensing period. She knows that in the future, she will have little time to cultivate, so she takes jade liquid to speed up her cultivation.
Her soul is originally strong, coupled with the role of jade liquid, the effect is expectedly great. In only ten days, she vaguely feels that her cultivation realm is approaching the peak of the third layer of the sensing period.
“Huuu…”
Qin Shuang breathes out a sigh of relief, and closes her eyes, thinking: “I’m afraid that in about two days, I will need to cut off the impure demon and breakthrough to the fourth layer of the sensing period.”
Opening her eyes, looking at Qin Yunxia opposite. Qin Yunxia is also cultivating there. Ever since she gave Qin Yunxia a bottle of jade liquid, Qin Yunxia’s cultivation has been advancing by leaps and bounds, she is now in the refining bone realm. Qin Shuang feels that before reaching the big city, Qin Yunxia could even breakthrough to the refining essence stage.
Gently opening the window on the carriage, she looks out. Now its afternoon, and the sun is already setting. This is not a wide road, at a glance there should be few pedestrians. Qin Shuang pokes her head out and looks around, unexpectedly there are no pedestrians in sight.
However, Qin Shuang is not worried. These days this situation is often seen, presumably after moving forward, away from the border, it will become more lively.
The road is sparsely populated, and there is no danger to Qin Shuang. Four days ago they actually encountered a wave of robbers, but they were easily resolved by by Yuan Ye, afterwards no more robberies occurred.
“Yuan Ye, is there a rest stop ahead?”
“Back to Miss, subordinate doesn’t know.” Since leaving Tianqin City, Qin Shuang let Yuan Ye and Qin Yunxia call her Miss, not Princess.
“Oh!”
Qin Shuang lightly cries “oh” and then didn’t care. These days its not like she hasn’t spent the night outdoors, so she really doesn’t mind. Then she withdrew her head back, seeing Qin Yunxia still cultivating, from the side she takes out the “Confucianism” novel to read.
These days during Qin Shuang’s cultivation leisure time, she studies this “Confucianism” novel, as the saying goes, read a book a hundred times and its meaning will naturally reveal itself. Although she has only read it three times, but she feels that she has an understanding of Confucianism.
