Chapter 132 Ding'an City has a dragon soul
In the dead of night, the fighting on the Great Wall had long since ceased, and both sides had withdrawn their troops.
The reason turned out to be all because of the dozens of small talisman arrows shot by Li Xiuyuan.
Chen Shanshan's father, Chen Chaofan, called Li Mubai over to discuss what he would face next, as well as the shocking inside story of the scene that happened on the battlefield today.
As for Li Xiuyuan, the master and apprentice Zhonggui Guzi were holding an oil lamp and half a pot of tea, discussing what to do next in the living room of the small courtyard.
Li Xiuyuan was a little confused. Everyone saw the miracle, but they didn't know why it happened.
But what he kept in mind was what the ancient Canglong wanted. First of all, it was the ancient Canglong who gave him the opportunity to come to the Great Wall and let him worship Gui Guzi as his teacher.
Secondly, Chu Feng is still there. I think he has to be tempered by the ancient blue dragon in the past two years. I think the old man has to spend a lot of effort to polish the little fat man.
And I've been here for so long, and I don't even have a clue.
"If the ultimate goal of Talisman Dao is to become a Talisman Master, judging from the situation in front of the teacher, it should not take more than ten years to cross that threshold, right?"
Li Xiuyuan considered his words and whispered: "Or will the teacher become the only Talisman Master on the Great Wall?"
Guiguzi pondered for a moment and then replied: "Although I don't know when my talisman will be able to break through, but judging from the familiarity engraved on it now, I think it won't take a few years to become proficient in it."
"Teacher, before I came to the Great Wall, I heard from my elders that the Great Wall once had the breath of a dragon. I wonder if it is a legend that has been around for thousands of years or is it true?"
After holding back for a long time, Li Xiuyuan finally couldn't help but express the questions in his heart. He believed that Guiguzi should know some of the stories that happened on the Great Wall.
"Dragon and phoenix are both legends in the world. Not to mention you, even as a teacher, I am also concerned about this matter and have always hoped to find this legendary existence."
Guiguzi looked at him and laughed.
Li Xiuyuan asked: "Does it mean that there are no legends about dragons in the Great Wall?"
Guiguzi shook his head, looked at him and said: "The legend of the dragon has disappeared in the long river of time. As far as I know, the only clue is in Ding'an City, which was occupied by the wilderness..."
Li Xiuyuan was shocked and thought that the clue was indeed in the wilderness. He looked like he had to find a way to go to the wilderness.
Li Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at Gui Guzi and said directly: "Disciple, where do you want to go? I don't know if there is any way?"
Guiguzi looked at him and sighed and said: "The wilderness is more dangerous than you think. It's hard for you to achieve your current level of cultivation. Even if it's not for the cultivation of Fu Dao, you should cherish it for yourself. Don't take risks lightly.
.”
Li Xiuyuan looked at the desolate look on Guiguzi's face and said bravely: "Disciple, I have a reason to go. I came to the Great Wall just to see the legendary dragon soul..."
Gui Guzi looked at Li Xiuyuan, who had his head lowered, and said solemnly: "I will be satisfied for the rest of my life if I can find a successor like you. I don't want to see anything happen to you in the wilderness."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and smiled lightly: "Didn't I learn the Tao of Talisman from the teacher now? Even if I can't defeat them, I still have a way to escape."
"Using talismans to escape, I guess only you can think of this. I also know that it is not difficult for you. Let's solve the matter of talisman arrows first, and then think about going to Ding'an City."
Seeing that he could not convince his disciple, Guiguzi had to ask him to solve the important issue of the talisman arrows needed in the Great Wall. This was a weapon used to defend against barbaric sieges.
"And you can't reveal this matter even to death. If anyone asks, just say that you are going to the wilderness to experience. After all, it is an ordinary thing for the monks of the Great Wall to go to the wilderness to experience."
"I'm old and I don't have the energy to accompany you to Ding'an City. The Chaofan on the Great Wall will not allow people like me to go to the wilderness. This should be something Fu Dao must do."
Gui Guzi looked at him and said quietly: "Xiu Yuan, I have a feeling that you will come back here one day."
He liked his disciple who fell from the sky very much. Although he knew that he would only stay here for two years, he believed that master and disciple would still meet one day.
And that day would not be long. He just hoped that when Li Xiuyuan returned to the Great Wall again, he would still be here and not leave yet.
"Teacher, can I come back here after I leave?" Li Xiuyuan asked quietly.
"You will come back here one day, because I have an intuition." Guiguzi looked at him and said softly.
Looking at Guiguzi's old face, Li Xiuyuan said: "Teacher, if one day, my disciple will make wine for you again, the most beautiful wine in the world."
Thinking of the ten large vats of fine wine in the yard, Gui Guzi couldn't help but smile and said loudly: "Let's go get the dragon soul from Ding'an City and let my master see what kind of treasure this divine thing in the world is."
.”
Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely take the treasure quietly."
"In this way, you can be regarded as breaking the dragon luck of Ding'an City. It is a good thing for the entire battlefield and the four armies of the Great Wall. They have to thank you..."
Guiguzi laughed, very proudly.
"You can't tell this matter. Even if I succeed, I can't." Li Xiuyuan didn't want to attract anyone's attention. Now that he had a clue, he had to abide by the agreement he made with the ancient Canglong.
"That's natural. Who can afford to make such a joke? You have to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and make a fortune in silence. But you can't forget to give some of the benefits to your teacher."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he burst out laughing: "So the teacher is also a money addict?"
Guiguzi glared at him and said with a smile: "Yes, who in this world is not a money-lover?"
...
The spring breeze brings joy to people, and the feeling of spring gradually fades away, in spring.
It was past time in the living room, Gui Guzi was resting on a recliner, and Li Xiuyuan was holding a talisman arrow and inscribing it. After these days of hard training, he could now finish ten of them in one day. If he worked harder, he could finish twenty in a day.
Not a problem.
Even Guiguzi, who is carving with his heart and mind, can complete the carving of one or two branches in a day.
This made him extremely happy. At this time, the old man actually had the idea of walking at night in brocade clothes. This was something that only a young man like Li Xiuyuan would have.
The water on the fire was humming softly, and Gui Guzi snored from time to time. Only the inscription knife in Li Xiuyuan's hand was turning lightly, and the iron arrow in his hand was quietly turning.
"Pap!" sounded, and there was a knock on the door outside the small courtyard.
Li Xiuyuan put down the talisman arrow in his hand and went out to greet him, only to see that it was Li Mubai who came with Li Guangming.
Li Xiuyuan bowed his hands in greeting and led the two of them into the living room to greet them.
At this moment, Li Mubai was in high spirits, looking at Li Xiuyuan like a treasure, patted his shoulder, and stared at him with gleaming eyes.
"How about Li Xiuyuan, you really did not disappoint me. The talisman arrows created by you two masters and apprentices have helped the four legions a lot. In the next few months, even the barbarians will not dare to invade!"
Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "I saw so many casualties among the monks on the Great Wall that I remembered to mention this to General Li."
"Do you want to fight on the battlefield? How about I give you a centurion to try first. Don't worry, I will do everything for you, or Li Guangming will help you!" Li Mubai laughed.
As soon as these words came out, not only Li Xiuyuan was stunned, but also Gui Guzi, who was lying down to rest. They thought that Li Mubai's visit today was just a routine greeting, but they didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan would be asked to lead the troops to fight.
"What's going on?" Gui Guzi looked at Li Mubai in confusion, feeling that this decision was too exaggerated.
Li Mubai's thinking was different from Gui Guzi's. In his opinion, the dozen or so talisman arrows shot by Li Xiuyuan were the best weapons against the many people in the wilderness who were unable to defeat them!
That is a feat that no one can match!
Over the past countless years, the four legions have thought of too many ways to deal with the deserters, but none of them have had much effect. For this reason, I don’t know how many monks from the four legions have died at the hands of the deserters.
Even if we spend every year repairing the city walls that were damaged by deserters, we don’t know how much manpower and material resources it costs.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan's small talisman arrow caused countless casualties to the deserters. After all, the number of deserters dispatched in the wilderness this time was huge, and even Chen Chaofan was shocked.
In Li Guangming's view, he had been a member of the Green Dragon Army for decades and had killed countless enemies...and finally, with the help of Li Xiuyuan, he was promoted from a captain of thousands to a captain of ten thousand.
But Li Xiuyuan became a centurion in the blink of an eye with just one talisman arrow.
Li Guangming would have been unwilling to do so before, but he had personally seen the horror of the deserted man after he was hit by an arrow, and he had been wondering whether he could withstand such a talisman arrow...
"I just wanted to go to the wild wilderness to practice alone, and then come back after I have gained some military exploits... I didn't expect to go to the battlefield to kill now."
Li Xiuyuan expressed his doubts with the intention of declining.
"What nonsense is this? Even if you become a centurion, you can go to the wilderness to practice. This has no conflict with your military merits. As long as you fight in the wilderness, I will remember your military merits for you."
Li Mubai waved his hand, interrupting his intention to retreat.
"This token is your identity card in the Qinglong Army. Your military achievements will be recorded on it in the future. Don't let Chen Chaofan and I live up to our expectations of you!"
Li Mubai looked at Li Xiuyuan with admiration in his eyes, and handed a black iron plate to Li Xiuyuan with a flick of his hand.
"Am I becoming a centurion now?" After taking the black iron plate, I felt a vast power, just like the black and white power in my own eyes was gradually absorbed by my own divine sea.
"From now on, you can select one hundred monks from the Qinglong Army as your personal followers. They obey your orders, and you obey General Chen's orders!"
After drinking three courses of tea, Li Mubai chatted with Gui Guzi for a while, hoping that Gengxing and the two could speed up the production of talisman arrows to prepare for sudden attacks from the wild.
After encouraging Li Xiuyuan some more, he left.
After seeing off Li Mubai and Li Guangming, Li Xiuyuan returned to the living room and looked at the iron plate in his hand, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"You are now a centurion, you can choose a hundred monks, not bad!"
Gui Guzi was in a good mood and reached out to pour tea for Li Xiuyuan.
After Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly, he quietly replied: "Teacher, you know what the disciple wants. How can I get to Ding'an City with a hundred monks?"
Gui Guzi looked at Li Xiuyuan's helpless look and couldn't help but glare at him and said with a smile: "With this token, you can freely enter and exit the Great Wall. Do you still need to teach you what to do next?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and stared at Gui Guzi for a long time, speechless.
It wasn't until half a cup of tea had cooled down that he slowly squeezed out a sentence: "Teacher, aren't you afraid of teaching your disciples bad things?"
Chapter completed!
