Chapter 136 White Tiger vs. Kirin

The Zhou family ancestral temple is located in the bamboo forest.

As the morning light rose, Zhou Tieyi had already gotten up and started training with Ada and the other four.

The blood and qi clouds condensed into auspicious clouds, which not only gathered the purple qi of the morning glow, but also gathered the five qi of heaven and earth.

After being condensed by blood and energy, the five-colored light followed the purple energy and fell into the dantian of the six people.

Within Zhou Tieyi's dantian, the Green Emperor statue was replenished, becoming more and more dazzling, and at the same time guiding the red color to sprout, making a Red Emperor statue appear faintly.

The Red Emperor represents the power of raging fire boiling oil.

After yesterday's great victory, and with the fact that my second uncle built the train earlier than me, I will definitely be able to condense the Red Emperor statue by guiding it today!

The sun rose little by little, and the scorching sun essence power continuously poured into the dantian of the six people like burning charcoal. The blood and energy rose, and it was so vigorous that it distorted the surrounding scenery.

It seems like in a blink of an eye, we have entered midsummer from late spring.

Zhou Tieyi’s fist power reached its peak, and a tiger roar came out with his fist, echoing throughout the bamboo forest.

A majestic statue of the Red Emperor rose from his iron armor and bones along with the blood and energy. He was standing on a red tiger, wearing a flat crown and twelve robes. There was also a layer of red cloud that fell along the flat crown, obscuring the face of the Red Emperor.

The moment Zhou Tieyi broke through, Ada and the other four also benefited. A touch of the true meaning of Fire Virtue fell into their dantian, which not only helped them expand their martial arts, but also stabilized their minds. Other wonderful uses are too numerous to count.

You know, even in those top-level Taoist sects, as long as someone in the sect can comprehend a little bit of the true meaning of the Red Emperor, he will be immediately promoted to a direct descendant.

With Zhou Tieyi's help, it can be foreseen that when Zhou Tieyi condenses the true meaning of the Five Emperors, A Da and the other four will also rise to heaven and will no longer be limited to their own five elements.

Zhou Tiege watched his brother practicing the military formation quietly, comprehending the true meaning of the Red Emperor.

He did not join in rashly. Firstly, his brother only knew the basics of the Five Elements Formation. With the addition of one more person, even if the qi and blood could be combined, the formation would be messed up and uncoordinated.

Secondly, his own strength was too far behind theirs. He usually used military formations for training, with thirty sixth-rank guards gathering the ancestral Qi of heaven and earth.

Training with six brothers is just the equivalent of going for 'initiation' on your own.

At the eighth-grade accumulation stage, my brother obviously needs to comprehend more. It’s not just about refining his own blood and energy. Moreover, the situation of the Zhou family is very different now, so there is no need to be so anxious.

Slowly taking the statue of the Red Emperor into his mind, Zhou Tieyi suddenly felt that he could fight five people alone.

He ran to Zhou Tiege excitedly and flexed his arms, "Brother, my formation is pretty good, isn't it?"

Zhou Tiege looked at his younger brother's proud look, running towards him like a strong pony. Only then did he feel like an older brother.

"You weren't even so proud of killing the great scholar yesterday."

Zhou Tiege opened his brother's arms with a smile and scolded him.

Zhou Tieyi curled his lips, "How can that be the same? I defeated Che Wenyuan, the doctor of the Five Classics, only because he was limited by this era. I overpowered him with words. This is meaningless. But if you have achieved success in martial arts and can overpower all the heroes with force, that's interesting."

As he spoke, Zhou Tieyi also revealed a fascinated look.

Practicing martial arts to subdue all the heroes in the world is really more interesting than political fighting.

"Okay, be ambitious."

Zhou Tiege patted his brother's shoulder hard.

Zhou Tiege thought about it and decided to teach his younger brother some military tactics. He finally had some confidence in this aspect.

But the servant suddenly rushed over and reported, "An angel has come to the house with divine instructions."

The Zhou Tieyi brothers immediately tidied up their appearance and walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall, the eunuch Su Xibi, who was accompanying the emperor in his studies, was drinking tea.

Normally, the task of rewarding foreign officials could be entrusted to other eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department. However, this time the person to be rewarded was different, and the matter of reward was also different, so he came in person.

Anyway, for him, traveling between Yujing Mountain and Baihu City only took a few breaths of effort.

"Eunuch Su, why are you making such a trip?"

Zhou Tieyi stepped into the main hall and spoke with a fist salute.

Looking at Zhou Tieyi who rushed over in his training clothes, Su Xibi smiled and said, "I dare not use the word 'labor' when it comes to His Majesty's affairs."

Zhou Tieyi nodded and smiled, "Eunuch Su is right. Does the emperor have an order? Do we need to set up the incense table?"

Su Xibi came to the mansion with great fanfare today and informed the servants first. Zhou Tieyi probably guessed that it was a reward.

"That's not necessary."

Su Xibi looked at the young eunuch beside him, and the young eunuch presented him a mahogany box, which was half open, and inside was a brocade dress.

"This time it is the Emperor's oral order. General Zhou, you have made great contributions in patrolling and guarding the city, so I will grant you a tiger and unicorn brocade robe."

Because it was not a formal imperial decree, Zhou Tieyi only had to clasp his fists and bow to Yujing Mountain, "Thank you for your grace."

He took the mahogany box handed to him by the young eunuch, took a look at it, and immediately understood what it meant.

In the revealed pattern, there was originally a well-embroidered auspicious Qilin, which was frightened by a fierce tiger that suddenly jumped out from the left.

This dress is unlucky to wear.

Zhou Tieyi smiled and handed it to the servant next to him.

Su Xibi was also a busy man. After receiving the reward, he left Zhou's mansion and returned to serve the emperor.

Only then did Zhou Tieyi take the tiger and unicorn costume out of the box and looked at it carefully.

In the skylight, the Qilin in the middle was originally guarded by auspicious clouds. Suddenly, a silver-thread white tiger embroidered with patches jumped out from its left shoulder, with its mouth wide open, intimidating the Qilin.

The embroidery work in this palace is naturally impeccable. Even the mending is just right, perfectly reflecting the emperor's intentions.

Zhou Tiege frowned as he watched, but this time, he didn't say anything.

When he went to the Sima family and wiped out the whole family last night, he had already realized that if the Zhou family's sword was not sharp, they would most likely be the ones to be wiped out.

Zhou Tieyi also said happily, "This dress is very domineering, I'll wear it when I get a chance."

Just as the two brothers were chatting, a middle-aged scholar walked quickly into the main hall.

He wore a blue square scarf, his name was Dai Sheng, he was a disciple of the school of diplomacy, and he was also the right-hand man of his second uncle Gong Shusheng.

"Young Master, Second Young Master."

Dai Sheng bowed respectfully. In the past, he would naturally look down on Zhou Tieyi, but in the past two months, not only did outsiders not understand the second young master of the Zhou family, even they themselves did not understand this second young master.

How could he be so deep-minded and patient, and have such profound calculations and plans!
The only thing that can reassure everyone is that Zhou Tieyi wants to practice Taoism, after all, he is a person outside the world.

Dai Sheng looked at Zhou Tiege.

Zhou Tiege understood that he had to make his own decision.

If it were before, he would naturally take the lead, but now, he looked at his younger brother.

It's just that Zhou Tieyi was just like a child, gesturing with the clothes on his body, and seemed not to notice Dai Sheng coming in at all.

Zhou Tiege instantly understood what the two meant. He had to be the one to take charge of this family, to avoid something like the picture on the clothes, where the white tiger and the unicorn were fighting, which was unlucky.
