Chapter 299 Zhao Xun breaks through to the fifth grade (nearly 20,000 words super chapter)
For Zhao Xun, the time in the academy was still very happy.
Although sometimes he would inevitably make a fool of himself while learning from his senior brothers and sisters, Zhao Xun did not feel embarrassed.
As long as he doesn't feel embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Brothers and sisters, we are all our own people.
What is there to be embarrassed about among our own people?
The optimistic Zhao Xun is full of enthusiasm when learning various skills, and his learning efficiency is naturally very high.
While his abilities are rapidly improving, his cultivation level has also been improved.
On this day, Zhao Xun was observing things in the bamboo forest. As he watched, he suddenly felt that his realm had soared, and the awe-inspiring energy in his body seemed to be overflowing.
Damn it!
Zhao Xun was frightened and panicked.
He was holding the bamboo well, but he didn't expect that he could break through the realm?
How does this make those practitioners who fight desperately to advance to the next level feel embarrassed?
How does this make Wang Yangming, a Confucian master who studies things and seeks knowledge, feel embarrassed?
At this moment, Zhao Xun's whole body was filled with awe-inspiring energy, and his body temperature began to rise sharply.
Zhao Xun had never felt so hot before, even if he had improved his cultivation level several times before, his body temperature had never increased so sharply.
"what on earth is it?"
Zhao Xun was really panicked.
Could it be that he died of heat because his body temperature increased too much?
If this were the case, it would be a shame for practitioners.
Where is the mountain chief? Where is the senior sister? Where is the second senior sister? Where is the third senior brother?
Sixth Senior Brother, Tenth Senior Brother, where are you! Come and save the child!
I don't know if the mountain chief heard Zhao Xun's call or something, but the next moment the mountain chief appeared in front of Zhao Xun.
Seeing the mountain leader Zhao Xun at this moment was like seeing a relative.
"Chief, please help me. I'm not crazy, right? All of Haoran's righteousness is stuck in my head, and it's about to burst."
Zhao Xun only knew the basics of martial arts practice, and the strangeness that appeared at this moment was completely beyond his understanding.
The mountain chief didn't seem worried at all.
He smiled slightly and said: "Don't panic, I will help you guide me."
I saw the mountain chief put his palm on Zhao Xun's head, and seemed to suck out the awe-inspiring breath that filled Zhao Xun's head.
You wouldn't know it if you didn't take a breath, but Zhao Xun was shocked when he took a breath.
It turns out that all the Haoran Qi breathed out by the mountain leader is purple Qi!
As a liberal arts student with a professional background, Zhao Xun certainly understands what purple energy means.
Purple Qi is a sign of great auspiciousness and a symbol of the emperor's Qi.
When Lao Tzu passed through Hangu Pass, Guan Yin was delighted to see purple energy coming from the east, so he knew that a saint would pass through. As expected, Lao Tzu came riding on a green ox.
Therefore, Zi Qi Dong Lai is also used to describe auspiciousness.
The ancients also believed that purple energy is related to wealth and power, and those who are full of purple energy must be the children of luck.
Damn it, this fits Zhao Xun’s character.
After all, Zhao Xun is also a time-traveler with good roots.
According to the conventions of online novels, such people are naturally blessed with good luck.
After the mountain chief helped Zhao Xun drain the excess purple energy, Zhao Xun suddenly felt much more refreshed.
"Thank you, Chief Shan."
Zhao Xun quickly made a cross-hand salute to the mountain leader.
In Zhao Xu's opinion, the mountain chief is simply his noble man.
Every time Zhao Xun encounters difficulties and dangers, the mountain chief will always appear in time.
Then the crisis faced by Zhao Xun was relieved.
It can be said that Zhao Xun's ability to turn danger into good fortune every time has a lot to do with the mountain chief.
"A good disciple doesn't need to be polite."
The mountain chief waved his hand and said: "The fact that you are full of purple energy this time is a good sign. Not only will your cultivation level be raised to the fifth level, your future cultivation level will also be improved at a faster pace."
Zhao Xun listened to it and was happy in his heart.
Who is the mountain chief? He is a man of God.
What the old man said is certainly reasonable.
"Well, in that case, my disciple is looking forward to spring."
Zhao Xun suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice: "May I ask the mountain leader, what are the characteristics of this fifth-grade cultivation level?"
Zhao Xun knows that as a practitioner, each level of cultivation will have characteristics unique to that level of cultivation. Different cultivation systems have different characteristics.
For example, a sixth-grade Confucian cultivator can create a protective shield.
For one stick of incense, the practitioner within the protective shield is in an invincible state.
Zhao Xun relied on this unique trick to escape death many times. It can be said that he has always succeeded.
He is naturally looking forward to the fifth-grade traits after being promoted.
"The five qualities of Confucianism are the state of self-cultivation."
The mountain leader said without hesitation: "The characteristics of the self-cultivation realm are that the practitioner's body is in a state of invisibility for one stick of incense. Moreover, the invisibility state will not be perceived."
Damn it?
Zhao Xun was extremely shocked when he heard this.
So strong?
Can a fifth-grade Confucian become invisible?
"Shan Zhang, do you mean that no one can sense it? No matter how high the level of cultivation is?"
"certainly."
The mountain leader said calmly: "Not even a great master can do it. Unless he is willing to open the Heavenly Eye. But opening the Heavenly Eye will hurt your cultivation and longevity, so it is not worth it."
The mountain leader paused and said: "So you can also understand that you are invincible after turning on invisibility. As long as you don't deliberately anger the grand master, you won't be hurt."
Zhao Xun was surprised and happy.
Compared with the protective shield, this invisibility technique is less defensive, but its mobility and mobility are improved by more than a little.
"What about the fifth level of the other two cultivation systems? Taoist and martial arts systems."
Since the mountain chief was by his side, Zhao Xun naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.
The mountain chief is simply a human dictionary, there is nothing that the old man cannot explain.
"The fifth level of Taoism is the Xuanzhen realm. What is Xuanzhen? It means the wonderful way, the essence. It can also be understood as simplicity and naturalness. As the saying goes, returning to nature, the characteristics of the fifth level of Xuanzhen realm is that it can be transformed into all things."
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "You mean, one life is two, two is three, and three is all things?"
He instinctively spoke out the most classic sentence in the Tao Te Ching.
But the mountain chief had never heard of the Tao Te Ching, and he was stunned for a moment.
"My dear disciple, please say it again."
Only then did Zhao Xun realize that he had let something slip, but at this moment he was already riding a tiger, so he gritted his teeth and repeated: "One life is two, two is three, and three is all things."
"Okay, good. One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. The summary is very incisive. The Xuanzhen realm is where humans can transform all things."
"Can it be transformed into anything? A tree, a flower, a stone?"
"Anything is possible, as long as you can imagine it, you can transform it."
"Well, what about the fifth rank of Shanzhang and Wufu system? What are its characteristics?"
Hearing this, the mountain chief rolled his eyes and said: "The fifth level of a warrior is the martial spirit realm, and its characteristic is that it is more resistant to beatings. It is difficult for practitioners below the second level to kill a fifth-level martial spirit practitioner with one blow.
He was seriously injured."
That's it? Hearing this, Zhao Xun couldn't help but want to complain. The fifth-level martial soul realm is really too low. Are all martial arts systems so low?
No wonder the two big bosses, Shanzhang and Qinglian Taoist Master, did not recommend Zhao Xun to focus on the martial arts system. This system is indeed very low.
Although he resisted beatings, he was too passive.
Even if you are a man of steel and iron, you can't stand being beaten like this all the time, and you can't lose face. This is the most important thing.
"You can practice three practices at the same time, and as long as one of the practice systems reaches a level, the other two types of practice systems can also reach the same level at the same time."
The mountain chief clicked his tongue and praised: "So you don't need to spend energy on the other two categories, especially the martial arts system."
Although the mountain chief's words were simple and crude, they still made sense. Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart after hearing this.
Yes, dual cultivation is difficult, let alone three cultivations.
Zhao Xun must allocate his limited energy rationally in order to achieve a breakthrough.
At present, it seems that Confucianism is indeed the most suitable for him.
One is because he is extremely gifted and talented.
How could a person who could be called a Wenquxing descended to earth by the mountain leader not have two brushes?
Secondly, with the mountain chief, a Confucian sage of the time, guiding him to open a small stove, Zhao Xun's improvement will definitely be very fast.
If you want to find a Confucian holy place in this world, it must be the academy.
Haoran Academy captures the aura of heaven and earth, absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and has the Confucian sage Shanzhang as its guardian. It is a holy place dreamed of by countless scholars.
Countless people have worked hard just to become disciples of the academy, even if they are disciples of the outer chambers.
As for disciples like Zhao Xun who entered the house, they couldn't even think about it.
After all, there are only 72 disciples among the 3,000 outer disciples in the academy who have become disciples.
Zhao Xun naturally cannot waste this opportunity, otherwise he will definitely be punished by God.
"Chief, my disciple has written it down."
"Well, I won't disturb your practice anymore. Just think about it slowly."
After saying that, the mountain leader walked away.
Zhao Xun was the only one left in the bamboo forest.
He couldn't help but marveled and said: "The feeling of the fifth grade does seem to be very different. I feel that my whole body has become much lighter, as if all the messy things have been thrown away."
Generally speaking, except for the characteristic of the martial arts fifth-level martial soul realm, which is resistance to beatings, the other two items, whether they are the invisibility technique of the fifth-level Confucian self-cultivation realm or the transfiguration technique of the fifth-level Taoist Xuanzhen realm, are all focused on dexterity and lightness.
If the practitioner himself is a container, this is in line with the characteristics Zhao Xun has displayed so far.
"Quiet to cultivate oneself."
Zhao Xun shouted out the formula for the fifth level of self-cultivation, and his body suddenly turned into a state of nothingness, looking very transparent.
Zhao Xun tried to walk a few more steps and found that there were almost no obstacles. Even when he took the initiative to touch the bamboo, there was no response.
“Tsk, tsk, it’s really amazing.”
“Frugality fosters virtue.”
Zhao Xun recited another mantra, and his body returned to the physical state from the void state.
Zhao Xun couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Now he can switch between the void state and the physical state at will, which is really amazing.
"With this unique skill, you don't have to worry about being discovered many times."
Zhao Xun knows that this is the most important thing for a tracker.
Staying invisible at all times can greatly reduce the risk of being discovered.
Except for great master-level practitioners, it is really difficult for ordinary practitioners to cause harm to it.
Next, I will try the Taoist five-level Xuanzhen realm's metamorphosis technique.
The core of transfiguration is to copy the shape of the transformed object, which means that it cannot transform into a completely new object that has never been seen before.
In other words, imaginary objects cannot be transformed by transfiguration.
"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."
Zhao Xun tentatively read out the formula.
"Change bamboo!"
Then he randomly shouted out a changing object.
Then something magical happened. Zhao Xun actually turned into a bamboo, and this bamboo could also move!
"Fuck!"
Zhao Xun screamed in his heart, this is so amazing.
"Change again, into a mushroom!"
This time Zhao Xun turned into a mushroom.
"Damn, it's so amazing."
"Change again and become a flower."
Zhao Xun continued.
This time Zhao Xun turned into a morning glory.
Zhao Xun was as curious as a child, changing dozens of objects in a row before he would stop.
"It's really amazing."
Zhao Xun was completely stunned.
This transfiguration technique is simply miraculous.
With this magical skill, it would not be too easy for him to hide himself.
Combined with the use of invisibility, the effect will be even better.
"From now on, I will go to the Mobei Wasteland to look for the High Priest of the Demon Sect. These two unique skills will definitely be of great use."
Of course, Zhao Xun has not forgotten the magical skills taught to him by his senior brothers and sisters.
Generally speaking, Zhao Xun is like the youngest child that everyone loves, and everyone is rushing to teach Zhao Xun his unique secret skills, for fear that he will be wronged in front of others.
"There are so many big guys who love me and love me, so I will definitely have to work harder."
Zhao Xun's self-confidence greatly increased after he was successfully promoted to the fifth rank.
If I had told him a year ago that he would be able to successfully advance to the fifth rank within a year, it would have been impossible for him to believe it.
But now Zhao Xun has truly reached the fifth level, so it is not impossible to sit on the fifth level and look at the fourth level.
Zhao Xun is looking forward to reaching the fourth level one day.
Because the fourth grade is a boundary that separates high-level practitioners from low-level practitioners.
As long as he can reach the fourth level, Zhao Xun will join the ranks of masters.
This is very important to Zhao Xun.
After all, there are basically no senior brothers and sisters in the academy who are below the fourth grade.
If Zhao Xun, the youngest, has never been able to pierce this layer of paper, it would be somewhat unjustifiable.
People still have to be self-reliant, otherwise they will have to rely on others.
"It seems that I have to practice hard in the next period of time. Only by improving myself can I protect myself and the people I cherish to the greatest extent."
Through this resignation, Zhao Xun truly understood this truth.
If Zhao Xun did not have the support of the mountain chief, it would be impossible to guarantee that he would get out of the Daming Palace alive.
With Emperor Xianlong's urine, it is very likely that he directly ordered Zheng Jie to capture Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun would definitely be in trouble by then.
But it is precisely because the mountain leader is strong enough that even Zheng Jie does not dare to go against Zhao Xun.
Because going against Zhao Xun is equivalent to going against the mountain chief and the academy.
As long as Zhao Xun reveals his identity as a disciple of the academy, it will be the best protection.
Of course, people still have to be self-reliant after all.
One day, Zhao Xun will prove that he is the pride of the academy.
Zhao Xun has always felt that being a slash youth is something to be particularly proud of.
Whether it was in his original world or in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the saying that one's skills should not overwhelm one's body is a wise saying.
When a person lives in this world, in order to live and live a better life, he must naturally try his best to fight.
Relying on just one skill may not be enough. People can only force themselves to light up more skill points and learn more skills. This skill may not be necessary for survival, but it can indeed be used at a certain point in time.
produce unexpected effects.
If there is only one skill, one ability, then this is a person's entire means of livelihood.
Without this means of livelihood, it would be difficult for him to survive.
So this becomes a reason for others to take advantage of you and exploit you at will.
Because you really have no other choice but to bite the bullet and go to the end.
But if there are other options, the situation is completely different.
You can respond to different situations according to different situations.
If you find it uncomfortable to mix, the worst thing you can do is quit. It’s not that difficult to start over in a different environment. Why do you have to force yourself so hard?
Zhao Xun knows very well that if you want to be truly powerful, you cannot rely on anyone.
It is better to seek help from others than from yourself. This is really a wise saying.
For example, now, the reason why Zhao Xun has learned so many skills is because he thinks that he will definitely use them when he goes to Mobei to search for the High Priest of the Demon Sect in the future.
It seems that there is some destiny somewhere.
But the time has not yet come, so Zhao Xun must seize every opportunity to learn.
Learning is not just practice, but a process of exploration.
In this process of exploration, he gradually grasped the essence of it step by step, which will be of great benefit to Zhao Xun in the future.
"Shan Chief, are you really safe to let your junior brother go to Mobei?"
Haoran Academy, inside the two-story bamboo building.
Long Qingquan asked worriedly.
He knew his junior brother's character. Although he said it didn't matter, he was very strong.
He will definitely do his best to complete the tasks assigned to him by the mountain leader without any delay.
If the mountain chief really decides to let the junior brother go to Mobei, then the junior brother will definitely not have any hesitation and will definitely agree and then execute it.
But is this really good?
Who is the High Priest of the Demon Sect? He is a super master.
There are only a handful of super masters in this world, they are really rare.
And the High Priest of the Demon Sect is one of the best among the few super masters in the world.
In the entire academy, except for Mr. Shanchang, who dares to say that he can control the high priest of the Demon Sect?
As for Mobei, it is a desolate place where birds do not poop.
It's all lies and lies.
It is said that you can't see a single person there for hundreds of miles, and if you do see one, it's just a group of nomadic tribes.
Cattle and sheep roost in pursuit of water and grass, and people will follow suit.
Cattle and sheep have devoured a piece of pasture and must move to other areas. If they do not move, not only will the cattle and sheep starve to death, but the entire pasture will also undergo extremely serious degradation.
This is tantamount to a disaster for the entire nomadic people.
If cultivated land is the lifeblood of the farming nation, then pasture is the lifeblood of the nomadic people.
Once the grassland is degraded and deserted, it is said that the grassland, where the wind blows the grass and no cattle or sheep are seen, will become barren, and not a single human being can be seen as far as the eye can see.
The long period of nomadic life made the northern barbarians brave and good at fighting, but at the same time they also became extremely barbaric.
You cannot communicate with Central Plains people using their thinking, and naturally you cannot use the thinking of saints to educate them.
Prairie people only value strength and fists.
In their opinion, whoever has the strongest fist can get everything.
In the minds of the prairie barbarians, almost everyone, especially the Central Plains people, are a group of two-legged sheep, and only they are the real people.
In this case, the Central Plains people who trespass on the grassland will definitely arouse the hatred of the northern barbarians.
Although the junior brother has now reached the fifth level, it is still very dangerous to enter the prairie rashly.
What did the mountain chief think, so he felt free to let Zhao Xun go alone?
Long Qingquan thought about it but felt uneasy, so he wanted to come to the mountain chief in person to ask for an explanation.
"People always have to learn to grow up, and the same is true for your little junior brother."
The mountain leader said slowly: "The simplest and most direct way for a person to grow up is to be in a difficult situation. Difficulties can force out a person's full potential. At this time, the fighting spirit and mental strength displayed by a person are extraordinary.
of."
"Third brother, do you still remember what you were like when you first came to the academy? How similar you were at that time to your junior brother now. At that time, you were extremely young, even shy. When faced with unknown matters, you
I couldn't even muster up the courage to explore. At that time, I knew that this would not work, so I did my best to create various opportunities for you to perform, hoping that you could defeat yourself. Of course, you also completed it very well, which made me
I am very happy to be a teacher.”
After a pause, the mountain leader continued: "When you are born as a human being, you must learn to grow. You cannot always be in a comfortable state. It is certainly comfortable to be in a comfortable state all the time, but after a long time, people
It's useless. A man, a cultivator must be motivated, let alone my disciple. The reason why my teacher values your little junior brother and accepts him as a close disciple is because my teacher values the spirit he exudes.
The fierceness that comes out of refusing to admit defeat. People have to pursue something in life. If you don't fight for anything, it would be a bit boring. Right?"
Tsk tsk
Long Qingquan finally understood.
The mountain chief has actually made it very clear that he hopes Zhao Xun can grow quickly.
"But. He went alone?"
Although Long Qingquan already understood what the mountain leader meant, he still felt nervous.
After all, it was about the safety of his junior brother, so Long Qingquan still hoped to be more cautious.
"of course not."
The mountain leader said calmly: "If I ask your junior brother to go alone, how can you, brothers and sisters, rest assured?"
call!
After hearing this, Long Qingquan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, the mountain chief had simply taken everything into consideration.
It was clear that the elder Shan Chang was very concerned about his junior brother, but he just didn't say it out loud, leaving Long Qingquan to worry here.
As long as the mountain chief has a clear plan, there is nothing to worry about.
As long as the mountain chief gives permission, Long Qingquan will be the first to stand up and accompany Zhao Xun without hesitation.
It would be best if we could go together openly. If not, Long Qingquan would protect Zhao Xun secretly.
Jiannan Road.
Jinguan City.
The leader of the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu master looked a little solemn.
Because he has been predicting divination signs one after another recently. Judging from the recent fortune telling, the divination signs are all omens of great misfortune.
This made the leader of the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu master very uncomfortable.
He knew very well that if the hexagrams he predicted were true, the Zhou army might move south at any time.
And once the Zhou army moves south, disaster awaits them.
The combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level at all, and there is also a huge gap in the size of the army and the number of soldiers.
It is important for a person to be self-aware, and the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu masters knew very well that their own tribe was no match for the Zhou army.
The reason why they were able to compete with the Zhou army last time was because there were northern barbarians and Dongyue Jiange on the side to distract the Zhou army.
This allowed them to encroach on the South Jian Road.
If the Zhou Dynasty had to wait until the Zhou Dynasty was free to deploy troops and generals, the Nanman 100,000 people alone would not be enough for the Zhou Dynasty army to fill its teeth.
So what if all the people are soldiers? Given the population base, the Southern Barbarians are a fraction of the Great Zhou.
As long as the whole country is mobilized, Dazhou can easily mobilize millions of troops.
The Southern Barbarians can only muster up to 100,000 people.
Even if both sides fight for consumption, the Nanman are no match at all.
Therefore, the Nanman could only engage in blitz warfare and sneak attacks.
Now Dazhou has obviously recovered his breath. If he doesn't run at this time, he may not be able to run away when he wants to.
The leader of the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu master knew that he must make a cautious decision at this time.
Because every decision he makes may affect the life and death of the tribe.
The Southern Barbarians are not like the Northern Barbarians or even the Western Barbarians. Their ability to endure hunger is engraved in their bones.
So as long as there is even a breath left, they won't feel anything wrong.
What's wrong with going back to the mountains again?
As long as one can save one's life, there is a possibility of a comeback.
If one's life is lost and one's clan is wiped out, how can one talk about revival?
In the end, after countless hesitations and hesitations, the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu master followed his heart and made a decision.
He decided to evacuate Jinguan City, evacuate the prosperous Shuzhong, and return to the vast mountains in the south.
Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.
This sentence of the Central Plains people seems very reasonable to the leader of the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu master.
You still have to be patient when you need to be patient. Only by preserving the vitality of the tribe can it rise again when needed.
If you insist on fighting to the death, it will indeed be fun, but what results will it bring?
It is very likely that the entire southern barbarian tribe was surrounded by the Zhou army.
It is true that Jinguan City or Shuzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but that is also based on the fact that the gap in combat power between the two sides should not be too large.
If the strength gap between the two sides is too large, then any natural danger will be in vain.
In the opinion of the leader of the Southern Barbarian witchcraft masters, Emperor Xianlong of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not a good person.
This guy values his own face more than anything else. If he comes to his senses, he will definitely regain Jiannan and Shuzhong.
What should we do if Emperor Xianlong makes a wave of his hand and sends hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Sichuan?
At that time, all contacts will be cut off, and the Nanman will be unable to send messages even if they want to ask for help from their allies.
Rely on teleportation array?
This is a way, but the leader of the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu master knows very well that at this time, neither the northern barbarians nor the Dongyue Jiange, nor the East China Sea Demonic Beast Kingdom, nor the Western Region Buddhist Kingdom will really lend a helping hand.
At this time, all parties have no time to take care of themselves, and all they want is self-protection.
Therefore, the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu masters cannot put too much hope in them, but must put all the treasures on their own people.
God will save those who save themselves. The leader of the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu masters has always believed in this sentence.
This is why he insisted on evacuating at this time.
Of course, evacuation does not mean collapse.
The leader of the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu master knows exactly what to do under what circumstances.
If Zhou Dynasty did not send a large number of troops to encircle and suppress them, they could even turn back.
Plans are dead, but people are alive.
They can make changes if plans change.
And if the Zhou army really came with thunderous force, it would be really terrifying.
At this time, avoiding the edge temporarily is the most correct choice.
If you respond blindly, the losses will be considerable.
This is something the Nanman people cannot accept no matter what.
The Great Zhou Dynasty, or the Central Plains, was densely populated and could afford war losses.
But this is not the case with the Nanman.
The southern barbarians have a very small population. If they suffer a loss in battle, then the loss is certain and will never be recovered.
Therefore, the leaders of the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu masters must ensure that they have an advantage in every battle before fighting, and they must ensure that the advantage is maintained from beginning to end.
Once the opponent has a tendency to overturn, he must immediately stop it and never let the opponent have any opportunity to take advantage of it.
When a small country with few people confronts a big country, it must clearly understand its own advantages and disadvantages.
Strengths must be continuously promoted, and weaknesses must be avoided as much as possible.
Like walking on thin ice when facing an abyss, every step must be taken carefully and carefully. A single mistake may ruin the entire tribe.
The leader of the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu masters has experienced the power of the Central Plains people this time, and will not forget it for a long time at least.
Maybe they will have a chance to take revenge in the future, but not now.
Dongyue, Jiange.
Sword Master Wei Wuji is finally out of seclusion.
After a month-long retreat, Wei Wuji finally regained his strength, and he was able to see the sun again.
This feels good and comfortable.
It's like the feeling a prisoner in prison feels when he sees the light of day again.
Wei Wuji felt as if he had been reborn.
When the sun shone on his face, Wei Wuji exhaled a thick breath.
It's not easy, it's really not easy.
He originally thought that after being severely beaten by the mountain leader, his realm would become unstable in a short period of time and that he might even fall to the level of a grand master.
But the facts prove that his foundation is still very solid.
After a period of recuperation, his strength has almost recovered.
Of course, he is still far away from the peak stage of his cultivation.
But in Wei Wuji's opinion, this was enough.
It is impossible for a person to maintain peak condition forever, not even a sword master can do it.
Practitioners are also human beings and will have their ups and downs.
The ups and downs are not scary, the scary thing is losing yourself in the ups and downs.
But Wei Wuji was not lost.
He knew very well that this was a good opportunity for him to recognize himself.
As long as he could realize his shame and act bravely, he might not have no chance of entering Chang'an City again to kill Emperor Xianlong.
As for that man
Wei Wuji still felt a little frightened when he thought of the mountain chief.
That man's power was beyond the scope of a practitioner. Wei Wuji could not imagine anyone being able to fight against the mountain leader.
Maybe the mountain chief never used his full strength?
For the mountain leader, being invincible is also a kind of loneliness.
Because no one can force the mountain leader to use his full strength.
Even if it was 90% or 80% of the force, I'm afraid the mountain chief didn't use it.
In this case, the mountain chief would naturally find it boring.
Wei Wuji is an extremely arrogant person, but he is also an extremely realistic person.
He will not fight an unprepared fight, nor will he challenge an opponent he is not sure of.
At least from the current perspective, the height of the mountain is beyond his reach.
Going against the mountain chief?
Let's forget about this idea.
At this moment, Wei Wuji had only one idea in his mind, which was to avoid the mountain chief.
The mountain chief is a monster, a behemoth. Only by bypassing the mountain chief can he have a chance to succeed.
Alas, for a martial artist and a swordsman, this is undoubtedly a very despairing thing.
But no matter how desperate he is, he has to accept reality.
I hope the mountain commander will not remember that Dongyue once had a defeated general.
Wei Wuji needs time now.
how much time is required?
Wei Wuji himself didn't know. Maybe one year, maybe five years, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years.
Maybe he will never be able to compete with Shan Chang in his entire life.
But so what, Wei Wuji was sure that he was the strongest person in the world besides the mountain chief.
As long as the title of No. 2 in the world is established, no one except the mountain chief can offend Dongyue Jiange.
Of course, the High Priest of the Demon Sect is also a master who cannot be underestimated.
Although Wei Wuji had never really fought against the High Priest of the Demon Sect, Wei Wuji knew very well that the High Priest of the Demon Sect was very powerful and was on par with him.
Therefore, Wei Wuji would not confront the High Priest of the Demon Sect unless absolutely necessary.
If he joins forces with the High Priest of the Demon Sect, will he be able to fight against the Mountain Chief?
Wei Wuji didn't know very well, but he knew that only by uniting both sides could it be possible to defeat Shan Chang.
As for how likely this is, no one knows.
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong's mood was always in a state of rage and madness.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace were beaten to death by him countless times because of some minor mistakes.
And anyone with a discerning eye knows why.
Zhao Xun beheaded the King of Wei and then entered the palace to resign with great arrogance.
How could Emperor Xianlong endure it as the king of a country and the emperor?
So of course Emperor Xianlong wanted to put Zhao Xun to death.
Sadly, although Emperor Xianlong wanted to do this, his strength did not allow it.
Who is Zhao Xun?
He is not just a crimson-robed delinquent, nor is he just the crown prince of Duke Chengguo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is also a disciple of Haoran Academy and a favorite disciple of the mountain chief.
Although Emperor Xianlong had a super master like Zheng Jie beside him, he could not do anything to the mountain leader.
The moment the mountain chief took action, Emperor Xianlong could already imagine the result.
Facing such a powerful enemy, Emperor Xianlong was limited in what he could do.
He knew very well that he could only watch helplessly.
If Zheng Jie can defeat Shan Zhang, then he will have a chance to kill Zhao Xun.
If Zheng Jie cannot defeat the mountain leader, then there is absolutely no way he can kill Zhao Xun.
Facts have proved that Zheng Jie is no match for Shan Chang.
This made Emperor Xianlong feel very desperate.
Although both sides are both super masters, the real difference in strength is huge.
Zheng Jie could not even last more than ten years under the command of the mountain chief.
How strong is Shan Chang?
It is simply a level above other practitioners.
Emperor Xianlong was completely disheartened.
Moreover, he also lost his dignity in front of Zhao Xun, the dignity of the king of a country.
The mountain chief shouted and ordered him to kneel down, but Emperor Xianlong's knees actually became weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
This made Emperor Xianlong feel extremely humiliated.
He never thought he would have such a day.
Ever since he became the crown prince, he has only been kneeling to heaven and earth, to his father, the emperor, and to his mother, the queen.
His father died more than 20 years ago, and his mother died of illness a year later. From then on, Emperor Xianlong only knelt in heaven and earth.
No one, no concrete person, could make him kneel down.
But this time, the mountain chief did it.
Under the pressure of the powerful Haoran Qi, Emperor Xianlong's legs bent uncontrollably.
At that moment Emperor Xianlong could clearly feel the huge pressure penetrating into his body.
If he disobeys and kneels down, his internal organs will burst in an instant.
He believed that the mountain leader had the strength and the ruthlessness to do so.
Although Emperor Xianlong was the supreme and noble Holy Emperor in front of his ministers, in the eyes of the mountain chief, he was probably just an ordinary mortal who couldn't be more ordinary, right?
The mountain chief could achieve the position of being the best in the world, so naturally he did not take the emperor seriously.
In the opinion of the mountain chief, it would be better to establish another emperor after the death of Emperor Xianlong.
After all, there are so many people in the Li family clan, and the most important thing is the heir to the throne.
So at that moment Emperor Xianlong gave up.
He was such an extremely arrogant person.
He knows that he must bow his head when he should. If he insists on showing off his stubbornness, the result may be tragic.
Emperor Xianlong certainly did not want to die suddenly and in confusion.
Although he has been on the throne for more than 20 years, he is still less than 50 years old.
Although Emperor Xianlong knew very well that he could not truly live to be ten thousand years old, as long as he maintained his health properly and took good care of himself, there was still no problem in living to eighty or ninety years old.
Once a person ascends to the supreme throne and has absolute power, he will never want to let it go.
Because the feeling of holding all living beings in your hands is so exciting.
No one can resist that temptation.
How many people fought bloody battles for the throne because becoming the emperor could control the life and death of others.
The refreshing feeling that vanity brings to people is difficult to describe clearly in a few words.
At least that's how it seemed to Emperor Xianlong.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to be willing to die even if he is to survive.
Of course, the mountain chief had no intention of putting him to death.
Therefore, Emperor Xianlong tried his best to tolerate it, even if he knelt down in front of the mountain chief or Zhao Xun, it didn't matter.
Anyway, there were no outsiders present at the time. Except for the eldest companion Zheng Jie, all the people who saw it were executed and silenced by Emperor Xianlong.
No one in the palace would know about his embarrassment of kneeling in front of others, and history books would never mention it.
But Emperor Xianlong could deceive others, but he could not deceive himself.
It was like a thorn piercing deep into his heart.
Emperor Xianlong felt extremely uncomfortable.
Although it is uncomfortable at the moment, it is not unbearable.
But Emperor Xianlong didn't know whether this pain would become stronger or worse one day.
If that were the case, Emperor Xianlong would really be in despair.
Through this incident, Emperor Xianlong also realized that Zheng Jie alone was not enough to protect him.
Let’s not go into detail, let’s just say that the last time Wei Wuji, the swordsman of Dongyue Sword Pavilion, took action, he almost took away Emperor Xianlong’s head.
This time the mountain chief could make Emperor Xianlong kneel down with just one word.
Zheng Jie's weakness when facing the top powerhouse was clearly demonstrated.
Therefore, Emperor Xianlong had to find another way to protect himself.
Maybe he can pray to another great master to join forces with Zheng Jie to protect him and protect him?
However, there are very few super masters in this world, and they can be said to be only a handful.
Except for Yuan Tiangang, who was far away in the horizon and right in front of his eyes, Emperor Xianlong couldn't think of anyone else he could count on.
Maybe there is some opportunity in the Western Region?
Needless to say, East Vietnam, Northern Barbarians, and Southern Barbarians, these are all hostile forces.
In Xishu, it is said that there is a hermit practitioner who has almost reached the realm of a master. However, this person has never seen the beginning of the dragon, and no one has seen him in actual combat. It is not known whether his reputation is in vain.
After thinking about it, only the indestructible Buddhist monk from the Western Regions is worth a try. Gu Tan
The only problem is that the Western Region is no longer in the hands of Zhou Dynasty, so contact is a problem.
But since Emperor Xianlong had made up his mind, he would definitely achieve his goal.
For this matter, he planned to bypass Liu Lin, the Great Protector of Anxi, and instead send a confidant to the Western Regions to negotiate specifically.
If the Buddhist monk can be successfully persuaded to come to Chang'an, Emperor Xianlong's sense of security will increase a lot.
Western Region, Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Master Huiyan, the great ancestor of Vajra, is sitting in meditation.
As the only person among the great masters who has opened his eyes (the other is Yuan Tiangang), Master Huiyan can predict what will happen in the future.
Of course, compared with Yuan Tiangang's full-time enlightenment, the eyes opened by Master Huiyan are more like half-opened.
There is a hazy feeling like seeing flowers in the mist.
But this does not affect his judgment.
Maybe it's time to set off for the Central Plains, to Chang'an.
Master Huiyan has always had an inexplicable affection for the Central Plains and Chang'an.
Probably because the Central Plains or Chang'an is too prosperous.
No one can resist this temptation.
Of course, Master Huiyan knew very well that he did not go to Chang'an to be greedy for prosperity, nor to satisfy his own selfish desires. He went to Chang'an so that Buddhism in the Western Regions could flourish and develop in the Central Plains.
There have always been many sects in the Central Plains, but Taoism has always been the dominant one.
The power of Taoism stems from the fact that it is a native sect in the Central Plains. It has been constantly evolving since the establishment of the sect, and it is very suitable for the national policies of the Central Plains dynasty.
Let’s not talk about the distant ones, but let’s talk about the close ones. The state religion of the Zhou Dynasty was Taoism, which is enough to witness the prosperity of Taoism.
The power of Taoism lies in its ability to adapt to the needs of the Central Plains people to the greatest extent.
Moreover, it would not compete for power with the Central Plains Dynasty, which to a considerable extent determined that the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty would not be threatened.
When the emperor no longer feels threatened, he will naturally do his best to support Taoism.
Because Dao Sect will not only not threaten their rule, but will stabilize their rule.
Today, the leader of the Taoist sect is none other than Yuan Tiangang.
Master Huiyan also knows Yuan Tiangang quite well. Yuan Tiangang's strength lies in the fact that he is firmly ranked among the top three in the realm of great masters but is not at all high-profile and arrogant.
It is not easy to do this, which means that Yuan Tiangang must try his best to suppress his selfish desires and thoughts in his heart.
People are selfish, and selfishness is human nature.
It's just that those who are in trouble will suppress this emotion as much as possible so that it will not explode at the critical moment.
Yuan Tiangang has undoubtedly done a good job.
Although he was the Imperial Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Supervisor of Qin Tian, he never showed the slightest impulse.
Under such an extremely stable mood, Yuan Tiangang's personal strength is still improving by leaps and bounds. It would not be surprising if he could catch up with Shan Chang one day.
People from the Central Plains have a saying, "Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in a hundred battles."
Master Huiyan thinks it makes sense.
Since he wanted to expand Buddhism in the Western Regions and establish a sect in the Central Plains that would continue to grow, he naturally had to do his best to understand his main competitors.
According to Master Huiyan, the main imaginary enemy of Buddhism in the Western Regions is not anyone else, but Taoism.
Daomen started early and developed well, and now it is firmly ranked first in the Central Plains.
If anyone can rival it, it's probably the academy.
But the academy cannot be called a sect in a strict sense. It is more like an organization that has nothing to do with the world.
Compared to Daomen, the academy is even more indisputable.
If you don't fight, no one in the world can fight with you. This is a sentence that Master Huiyan recently came to realize. He thinks it makes sense.
Moreover, the academy is following the path of setting benchmarks.
How many disciples are there in total in the academy? Even including the outer disciples recruited by the mountain chief, there are only a few thousand in total.
If we only count the disciples in the inner chamber, there are only a few dozen people.
And how many scholars are there in the world?
The two are not on the same level at all.
But the amazing thing is that scholars all over the world regard the academy as a holy place, and they are all proud to enter the academy and become its disciples one day.
It can be said that the academy has become a symbol in the minds of scholars all over the world.
In their hearts, the academy is an unparalleled existence.
Sometimes Master Huiyan wonders why such a situation occurs.
This is indeed somewhat unreasonable.
But sometimes there are some things that just can’t be considered with common sense.
At least that’s what Master Huiyan thinks.
"Perhaps when I get to Chang'an, I can compete with the mountain chief and have a fight to see where the problem lies."
In Master Huiyan’s opinion, the reason why the academy is what it is today is all because of the mountain chief.
The strong hand of the mountain leader created the academy.
Scholars all over the world worship the academy mostly from their worship of the mountain chief.
So why can Chief Shan win the admiration of so many people?
Is it just because it's strong?
Master Huiyan thinks that may not be the case.
There are countless masters in the world, including dozens of top masters.
But no one has as many supporters as Shan Chang.
In the opinion of Master Huiyan, this may be due to the strong personality charm of the mountain leader.
So why does the mountain leader exude such a strong charisma? Why does the mountain leader have such a great charisma?
It is said that the master of the mountain did not have a so-called routine when he taught his disciples in the academy, but he just followed whatever he wanted, euphemistically called teaching without distinction.
It is actually not easy to do this.
Teaching without distinction does not mean letting things go their own way and ignoring them.
To teach without distinction is to do our best to give students a degree of freedom, allowing them to explore various possibilities within this range.
But once you find that a disciple has a tendency to go astray or cross the line, you still need to pull back a little bit.
To achieve this, it means that teachers must first realize where this boundary is so that they can grasp it easily in the future.
And more often than not, those who serve as role models often don’t know where this boundary is.
Master Huiyan couldn't think of any other words to explain the teaching of knowledge to his disciples at this time other than using the word "misleading disciples".
Sometimes, some people and things really cannot be thought of with common sense.
There are a few mortals who can become super masters, and they are all successful because of their hard-earned talents and excellent opportunities.
Therefore, in Master Huiyan's opinion, there must be a reason why the mountain leader can transcend the ordinary and become a saint.
Master Huiyan has never been jealous of the mountain leader, nor has he ever doubted why the mountain leader is so powerful.
He was just curious about what was supporting such a strong mountain leader.
Therefore, if given the opportunity, Master Huiyan must challenge the mountain leader himself.
Maybe he can't defeat the mountain leader, but there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Shan Chang is currently recognized as the number one person and leader in the martial arts world.
Others, whether they are great masters or first-level masters, play the role of chasers.
Since you are the pursuer and the challenger, isn't it normal that you can't win?
If you can win, it will be an upset.
Therefore, Master Huiyan will try his best to challenge, so as to leave no regrets.
It would be best if he could defeat the mountain chief. He could take this opportunity to declare to the world that he is the so-called number one in the world.
If you can't win, then look for opportunities to fight again in the future.
In any case, Master Huiyan never thought about continuing to die.
A duel between practitioners, especially a duel between masters, is all about hitting the target.
Huh, in fact, Master Huiyan is more looking forward to meeting Emperor Xianlong than facing the mountain chief.
Because if he wanted to help Buddhism in the Western Regions successfully expand and gain a foothold, he had to communicate with the supreme ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty and gain his trust.
It was not easy to do this because Emperor Xianlong was a suspicious person by nature.
Although Master Huiyan had never actually met Emperor Xianlong, he knew very well how arrogant and conceited Emperor Xianlong was.
Kings are more or less conceited, and that's okay.
But Emperor Xianlong's pride had indeed reached a certain level.
In Emperor Xianlong's eyes, there was no one else at all, only himself. He was a self-centered type.
Among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, the only ones he could look up to were Zheng Jie, the chamberlain supervisor, and Feng Hao, the bad handsome man.
But in fact, in the eyes of Emperor Xianlong, these two people were just high-level wage earners.
To truly gain the respect and trust of Emperor Xianlong, Master Huiyan could not just be a licker, but must maintain his image as a worldly master.
Look at Yuan Tiangang and Shan Chang, which one doesn't do this?
It happened that Emperor Xianlong was afraid of the two of them, obviously because they were unpredictable and couldn't figure them out.
What Master Huiyan wanted to do was not to let Emperor Xianlong manipulate him, but to let him manipulate Emperor Xianlong.
"Tsk tsk tsk"
Master Huiyan is looking forward to this meeting more and more.
And as far as he knew, Emperor Xianlong had sent his confidants to the Western Regions to pick him up.
This kind of courtesy is not something that just anyone can enjoy.
Of course, Master Huiyan would not wait until Emperor Xianlong's envoy arrived in the Western Regions.
The reason is simple, that way takes too long.
Master Huiyan didn't have any other ideas, but he really couldn't do it if he was asked to wait for so long.
The best option is to use the teleportation array to teleport directly to Chang'an.
It only takes a moment to get there.
However, Master Huiyan needs to think of an identity for his arrival.
Of course, you cannot use the identity of the Vajra Grand Master of Western Region Buddhism. Not only would that appear too proactive and unreserved, but it would also embarrass Emperor Xianlong.
Of course, if Emperor Xianlong really wanted to know the identity of Master Huiyan, he would know it sooner or later.
With the resources of a large empire, it is not difficult to find out these things. It is just a matter of time.
Master Huiyan understood that he needed to deliberately expose the flaw and let Emperor Xianlong send people to investigate, so as to satisfy Emperor Xianlong's desire and vanity to the greatest extent.
Vanity is like this. When you don't value it, it doesn't seem so important.
But once you value it, it becomes extremely precious.
After all, Emperor Xianlong was also the supreme ruler of a large empire. If everything failed to fulfill his wishes and were not satisfied with his requirements, then his mentality must have collapsed.
If Master Huiyan wants to take control of Emperor Xianlong, he cannot let Emperor Xianlong become too desperate.
If he could grasp that feeling of not getting what he asked for, he would definitely become Emperor Xianlong's favorite person.
Far to the east, a monster with a fish head and a snake body emerged from the sea.
It comes from the Monster Kingdom of the East China Sea and is a scout sent by the Demon King to investigate.
Since the Ningzhou War, the energy of the East China Sea Monster Kingdom has been severely damaged, and it has had to hide in the deep sea for a long time.
This is really torture.
Everything is good at the bottom of the sea, but it's boring.
The monsters basically have no other choice but to fish or fish.
The food is really boring.
That's all, but the monsters still have to resist their desire for revenge.
The bestiality is the instinct hidden beneath their scales.
They were so completely defeated in the battle of Ningzhou that they completely lost face.
Therefore, the Demon King always wants revenge and wants to break through Ningzhou City.
But the Demon King didn't know whether Zhao Xun and his academy disciples were still there.
If those guys from the academy were still there, the Demon King would not dare to lead the tribe out to sea for a decisive battle under any circumstances.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Now the Demon King and even the entire Demon Clan may have cast a psychological shadow on the academy disciples.
This is certainly not a good phenomenon. It means that they will have a conditioned fear mentality for a long time.
It's too difficult, it's really too difficult.
The Kingdom of Monsters and Beasts was so beaten that they dared not stand out. How many years has this happened?
They really didn't dare to act rashly, because the mountain chief only needed an illusion to crush them to pieces.
So the Demon King has always chosen to be patient.
Only by forbearing can you have a chance to explode and wash away the shame.
Now he really had to wait for the opportunity.
The Demon King received news from Dongyue Jiange that the Battle of Chang'an had ended and the Academy was heading north. In this case, their biggest threat had dissipated in a short time.
But the Demon King is still very cautious.
He first sent a small group of scouts to scout around to make sure there was no danger before it chose to take the plunge.
And even so, retaliation should not be too violent at the beginning, but must be gradual.
Because if they act too radically at the beginning, they may arouse the anger of the academy.
Even if the mountain is thousands of miles away, you can still rely on illusions to inflict devastating blows to the many monsters in the Monster Kingdom.
Therefore, the Demon King must be cautious.
Every decision it makes is not only related to his personal honor and disgrace, but also related to the prosperity of the entire tribe.
It is not easy for the Monster Kingdom to survive until now.
The Demon King does not want the entire Demon Beast Kingdom to be destroyed in his hands.
Therefore, the Demon King must try his best to think of various possibilities.
The Monster Kingdom cannot compare with the northern barbarians, or even the southern barbarians. Their population is too small.
Of the tens of thousands of monsters, one less one would die.
No matter how hard you fight, you can't defeat the monsters.
Only winning with wisdom is the best strategy.
Of course, this detective monster knows the psychology of the monster king very well, so it has been carried out extremely firmly from the beginning.
It didn't have any carelessness. After emerging from the sea, it first looked around to make sure there was no danger before continuing to swim towards the shore.
If it wants to confirm more information, it must go to the shore, even if this is more dangerous.
The preparation time is a bit boring, but fortunately there are things worth comforting in life.
This comforting thing is family.
Zhao Xun didn't know how other people viewed family affection, but at least in his opinion, it was the most important thing in his life.
With his family by his side, Zhao Xun will not give up no matter how difficult the situation is, because he knows that his family will stand behind him unswervingly and give him support.
"Brother Xun, continue telling me stories."
"Which story should we tell? Which one does our little Danshu want to hear?"
"Let's tell the story of the mountain commander who defeated an army of millions by himself."
"Well, this story is quite long."
Zhao Danshu looked forward to it with great expectation. Just when Zhao Xun was about to clear his throat and start speaking, third senior brother Long Qingquan appeared behind Zhao Xun at some point.
"Ahem, junior brother, the mountain leader asked you to go there."
"Um?"
Zhao Xun was somewhat surprised by this.
The mountain leader rarely takes the initiative to ask a disciple to go there. If so, it means that the mountain leader has something very important to explain.
"Danshu, my brother is going to go to the mountain chief. You can play by yourself first."
After saying that, Zhao Xun stood up and followed his third senior brother Long Qingquan out of the house.
"Third senior brother, what is the important matter that Mr. Shanchang has come to see me for this time?"
Zhao Xun was somewhat curious about this.
Unexpectedly, Long Qingquan spread his hands and said: "I don't know either. How can ordinary people understand the thoughts of the mountain chief? But..."
"But what?"
"But I think it has something to do with going to Mobei."
Long Qingquan lowered his voice and said: "The mountain chief has been looking at the map these days, the map of Mobei."
Tsk tsk.
Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard this.
If this is true, that would be really great.
To be honest, the time spent in the academy was indeed very comfortable. But it was precisely because of the comfort that Zhao Xun felt a little boring.
He can't wait to go to Mobei for adventure.
"That's great."
Zhao Xun hugged Long Qingquan and said, "Thank you, Third Senior Brother, for the advice."
"You kid, please don't say it was me who said it, and don't betray me."
Seeing Zhao Xun's appearance, Long Qingquan felt a little pain in his head.
"Third Senior Brother, you can rest assured. You can rest assured that I will do things."
Zhao Xun entered the bamboo building very proudly and ran to the second floor in one breath without even breathing.
It is good to be a fifth-level practitioner. Now Zhao Xun feels that his body has become much lighter. Even describing it as light as a swallow is not an exaggeration.
"Meet the mountain chief."
As soon as Zhao Xun went up to the second floor, he saw Shan Chang sitting cross-legged and meditating.
He quickly stepped forward and bowed with great respect, crossing his arms.
"It's Xiao Qi-Two here."
The mountain leader opened his eyes, smiled slightly and said, "Sit down."
The mountain chief was very fond of Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun enjoyed the treatment that many disciples could not enjoy.
Zhao Xun had long been accustomed to this, so he lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down next to the mountain leader without hesitation.
"Chief, what are your orders for calling your disciple this time?"
Although Zhao Xun had probably guessed what the mountain leader meant, he still acted as if he didn't know anything about it.
A pair of big, dazzling eyes.
"Master, calculate the time and you can almost go to Mobei."
The mountain chief also made no secret and spoke straight to the point.
Well.
After hearing this, Zhao Xun felt at ease.
"When to set off?"
"Anytime. The sooner the better."
The mountain chief said calmly: "If you hurry up, you may be able to come back before winter. The winter in the grassland is quite cold. I am worried that you will not be able to bear it."
Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he heard this.
The mountain leader is really a warm man.
Zhao Xun has always thought that he is a warm man. But now he pales in comparison with Shan Chang.
"Am I the only one?"
"Your senior brothers and sisters are with you."
Very good!
After hearing this, the last trace of doubt in Zhao Xun's heart disappeared.
"Remember, after leaving Chang'an, keep walking north and don't look back."
The mountain chief's tone suddenly became serious.
"No matter what you see, what you hear, or what you think, don't look back."
Well.
The mountain chief's tone made Zhao Xun very hairy.
Does this mean something?
"Your senior brothers and sisters will take good care of you. If you don't understand anything, you can ask them."
The mountain chief seemed to have seen through what Zhao Xun was thinking and said without hesitation.
"Disciple, I have written it down."
"Remember, you are no match for the High Priest of the Demon Sect, and neither are your senior brothers and sisters. Even if all of you join forces, you are no match for the High Priest of the Demon Sect, so just find out where he is, and don't
If a conflict breaks out with him, don't fight him directly. Just tell me, and I will do the rest."
The mountain chief repeatedly emphasized that this was to ensure that Zhao Xun could act according to his predetermined plan. There must be no mistakes in this, otherwise his plan would fall short.
To this day, he and the High Priest of the Demon Sect are scheming.
However, God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. If something unexpected happens, the Chief will have no choice but to implement an alternative plan.
"My disciple knows that he will not be tough with the Demon Sect's high priest."
Zhao Xun thought to himself that he was not stupid. He was going to be impatient with a super master.
All he has to do is lock down the position of the High Priest of the Demon Sect, and leave the rest to the mountain chief.
Set off, set off.
This time we really set off.
After bidding farewell to the mountain chief and his parents, Zhao Xun left the academy with his senior brothers and sisters.
The reason why Zhao Xun did not go to see the little lolita Zhao Danshu before leaving was because he knew that as long as he saw her, she would not let him go.
In order to avoid this unnecessary and endless tug-of-war, Zhao Xun left the academy without hesitation, not giving the little Loli a chance to exert her strength.
I have to say that Zhao Xun learned a lot during this month of rest in the academy. Not only did he learn many cultivation techniques, but he also learned how to live.
Life must be interesting, not busy and muddled.
Being confused is survival, not life.
Humans are not animals and cannot live just for survival.
"I'm so happy today, I'm so happy today."
Zhao Xun went out of his way to deny his relatives. Looking from a distance, it was truly astonishing.
"I didn't expect that my junior brother would be so reckless sometimes."
Not far away, Long Qingquan marveled at the strange path.
In his impression, Zhao Xun has always been a cautious character. In other words, Zhao Xun is really very stubborn.
Zhao Xun will not take action rashly before ensuring that nothing goes wrong.
But today, Zhao Xun didn't mean to be strict at all. Instead, he showed his madness clearly on his face.
"Junior brother has really learned."
Second senior sister Liu Yingying also came over.
"Learn what?"
"Of course I have learned the unique characteristics of academy people."
"."
"We academy people must be crazy. If we are not crazy, how can we show the difference of the academy? Doesn't the mountain chief often teach us that the only thing a person can trust in this world is his own fist."
Liu Yingying said calmly: "As long as our fists are strong enough, no one in this world will dare to bully us. Junior Brother just showed the characteristics that an academy person should have. He has evolved, and I support him."
Senior sister Xiao Ning behaved very calmly.
She had no intention of quarreling with her junior brothers and sisters, but kept observing the road ahead.
This ancient road is the only way to Mobei.
Although they could fly with swords and ride dragons, Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou suggested that they ride horses, saying that this way they could experience the fun of the journey.
From time to time, everyone would dismount and lead the horses forward.
In this way, the speed of travel naturally dropped.
"I asked Second Senior Sister, can we stop walking so slowly? How long will it take to walk like this?"
Long Qingquan couldn't stand it anymore and complained in a deep voice.
"Don't say this to me, say it to your sixth junior brother."
"."
Long Qingquan said something about loneliness, then shrugged angrily and said nothing.
"Those guys look very proud, I don't know where they came from."
The young woman wearing a hairpin said to the tall and mighty man next to her while eating Hu cake.
"Well, people from the Central Plains are not weird."
The young woman wearing a hairpin and pigtails snorted and said: "None of the Central Plains people I have ever met are good. They are all weird and full of bad things."
"Junior sister, tell me where these people come from."
"I guess they are members of the Taoist sect. Taoist priests are always weird and disgusting at first glance."
"But people from the Taoist sect shouldn't be so arrogant. They don't pay much attention to tranquility and inaction."
"Who knows, monks can still eat meat, so why are Taoist priests so arrogant?"
"Haha, I'll find out when I step forward and give it a try."
The man with a fleshy body wanted to shout something, but the girl wearing a hairpin had already jumped up and rushed towards Zhao Xun and others.
Zhao Xun was walking on the road calmly, but unexpectedly, a girl holding a dagger stabbed him directly from the air.
Zhao Xun was really startled when he was unprepared and quickly ducked out of the way.
He is now in the fifth-level Confucian cultivation realm and the fifth-level Taoist Xuanzhen realm, and his agility points are maxed out.
Therefore, he was able to avoid even such a fierce blow.
"Hiss, so cruel. They say women's hearts are the most poisonous. Now I finally understand."
After seeing the girl's face clearly, Zhao Xun cried out in his heart: "F*ck."
This girl can't be said to be the most beautiful girl in the world, but she is indeed very beautiful.
But the more this happened, the more it made Zhao Xun feel sick.
"Legendary femme fatale. Didn't your family tell you not to be so shameless? A person must pay attention to etiquette, justice and integrity. Oh, it seems that you are not from the Central Plains by looking at your makeup and hair. Do you not understand the meaning of etiquette, justice and integrity?
Do you want me to explain it to you?"
When it comes to talking heads, Zhao Xun has never been timid or lost.
This girl was so angry that she stomped her feet.
"You sharp-tongued Central Plains man, I want your life!"
This guy didn't give Zhao Xun a chance to talk, but stabbed Zhao Xun straight in the heart.
Zhao Xun was so frightened that he quickly stepped back.
Holy shit, this guy doesn't follow any tricks at all.
Fortunately, there was wind at Zhao Xun's feet and he avoided the blow again.
"Hey, can you give me a little more strength? That's it?"
After Zhao Xun escaped, he did not forget to fight back.
When the senior brothers and sisters not far away saw such a good show, they naturally had no intention of stepping forward to stop and interrupt it.
Because in their opinion, it is interesting to be able to defeat the younger brother.
Of course, all joking aside, if this guy really threatened Zhao Xun's life, they would definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
"Damn guy, go to hell!"
The girl wearing a hairpin and braids who was dressed strangely yelled, and saw countless black hairsprings spinning towards Zhao Xun.
"No! This guy is from the Demon Sect."
Long Qingquan was the first to notice something strange.
Only girls from the Demon Sect know this kind of technique, so there is no doubt that this person is from the Demon Sect.
And at first glance, it seems that this guy's cultivation level is not low, and should be above Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun has almost no chance of winning if he confronts him head-on.
Long Qingquan couldn't bear to see Zhao Xun in danger, so he rushed forward immediately.
"Here comes the sword!"
Long Qingquan shouted loudly, and then the Flower Burial Sword fell from the air, and happened to fall into Long Qingquan's hand.
"Flower Burial Sword Technique!"
Long Qingquan's swordsmanship is ranked high even among the masters in Chang'an, and there are only a handful of swordsmen who are better than him.
This is also the reason why Long Qingquan is so arrogant.
He firmly believed that as long as he drew his sword, this Demon Sect woman would have no choice but to run away.
When Zhao Xun saw the third senior brother take action, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
The third senior brother is a second-grade master, and he must be better than this little girl in front of him.
This damn girl only dared to show off her strength in front of Zhao Xun. She would only be a coward when facing a real strong man.
But who would have thought that the Demon Sect woman seemed to have expected it, and she turned her head sharply and exhaled at Long Qingquan.
The black silk hairspring immediately flew to bind the Flower Burial Sword within it!
This demon sect girl seems to really have her wits about her!
Zhao Xun was very surprised.
Logically speaking, the strength of Third Senior Brother lies here, and ordinary people may not be able to compare with Third Senior Brother.
But this Demon Sect girl didn't lose at all during the fight, which made Zhao Xun slightly worried.
People in the Demon Sect all follow vicious and evil paths, and we cannot use common sense to think about them.
Now it seems that both teams are equally matched.
But I still don’t know what will happen after the actual fight.
Are the other senior brothers and sisters just watching helplessly?
This heart is really big enough.
Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, but he also knows that at this time, he should be consistent with the outside world.
“There is no discrimination without distinction!”
Zhao Xun shouted the secret formula and summoned the Pipi Shrimp from the chessboard space.
As soon as the white dragon rushed out of the chessboard space, it flew to Zhao Xun's side and kept rubbing its head against Zhao Xun.
He also snorted once or twice from time to time, which moved Zhao Xun very much.
Their relationship now has truly been cultivated.
With Bai Jiaolong by his side, Zhao Xun's sense of security skyrocketed.
"Pippi Xia, let's go, let's go help Third Senior Brother."
The academy is all a family, and we should advance and retreat together.
This is Zhao Xun's perception, and he also thinks there is nothing wrong with this perception.
The white dragon had spirit, and after hearing Zhao Xun's order, he immediately rushed towards the Demon Sect girl who was casting a spell.
Zhao Xun's purpose was very clear, which was to interrupt the Demon Clan Girl's spellcasting.
But just as the white dragon swooped down and was about to reach the side of the Demon Sect Girl, a man with tendon-like flesh and fluffy hair that looked like weeds flashed out and blocked the general on his way.
Good guy.
Zhao Xun was completely surprised.
It turns out he has an accomplice, no wonder he is so confident.
Zhao Xun hurriedly adjusted the direction of the white dragon so that it could fight the Demon Sect man.
Combat is all about taking advantage of the situation.
This is especially true for battles between practitioners.
Zhao Xun is a person who places great emphasis on execution, but that does not mean that he is rigid and does not seek change.
In fact, he will make timely adjustments according to the situation to optimize the combat effect.
At least for now, it is impossible to bypass this man and directly attack the Demon Clan Girl.
In this case, Zhao Xun came one by one, first practicing with the Demon Sect man, and then attacking the Demon Sect girl.
The white dragon snorted excitedly and started the first wave of attacks.
The dragon swings its tail!
Of course, this is the name given by Zhao Xun.
In his opinion, Pipi Xia's unique trick of squeezing the bottom of the box is very cool and looks extremely handsome.
The key is that it is not only handsome, but the actual combat effect is also quite good.
"You overestimate your capabilities. Are all you Central Plains people so underestimating your capabilities?"
The Demon Sect man smiled coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.
I saw him raise his big hand, and then a black wind blew up.
Immediately afterwards, sand and rocks were flying, and not only Zhao Xun but also the white dragon could not see clearly the scene in front of him.
This has always stunned Zhao Xun. You must know that the white dragon is a spiritual beast, and the perception of spiritual beasts is much stronger than that of humans. Whether it is vision, hearing, or smell, the two sides are not on the same level.
Now even the white dragon can't see the scene in front of him clearly?
One move of the divine dragon flicking its tail is enough to shake off a lonely person.
Oh, what a pity.
Although it was a pity, Zhao Xun also knew that there was nothing he could do.
This is the demonic way that the Demon Sect practices. The more times like these, the more important it is to remain calm and not to mess up one's position.
"Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, Sixth Senior Brother, Tenth Senior Brother, are you here?"
Zhao Xun immediately called out to all the senior brothers and sisters.
Because he knew that keeping in touch with his brothers and sisters was a top priority at this time.
Once contact is lost, the consequences will be quite terrifying, and it is likely to be defeated by these demon sect practitioners one by one.
There are currently two demon sect practitioners who have appeared, but who knows if there are others hiding in the dark?
If ten or eight more of them appear in a while, it will be difficult to deal with them.
Zhao Xun is not a person who emits other people's ambitions to the detriment of his own prestige.
But he felt that all possibilities should be considered and not be blindly confident.
That's not self-confidence, it's arrogance.
Conceit is absolutely necessary for practitioners.
This may not only lead to failure, but may also cost lives.
no respond!
There was no response!
This made Zhao Xun take a breath of cold air.
Good guy, is this such an exaggeration?
Zhao Xun couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Could it be that our senior brothers and sisters are in danger?
No way, no way, Zhao Xun's words really won't come true.
Brothers and sisters are all high-level practitioners, so they wouldn't be so vulnerable.
Zhao Xun was still very nervous.
If the opponent is really that strong and prepared, then they really don't necessarily have much chance of winning.
"Now it seems that I can only hope for happiness."
God saves those who save themselves. Zhao Xun's character is such that he cannot give up easily.
Even if the current situation is very unfavorable for Zhao Xun, he will persist until the last moment.
Want to defeat me easily?
Don’t even think about it!
Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, but he knows that the current situation is very critical.
Therefore, he and Pipi Xiabai Jiaolong must join forces to stay warm, and no one can easily leave even half a step.
After all, I don’t know how long this black sand storm will last.
After about a stick of incense, the black sand storm gradually weakened, and Zhao Xun could already see things beyond the black sand storm.
Trees, flowers and some rocks.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's finally over. I can hardly tell the difference between day and night."
Zhao Xun looked around hard, trying hard to search the surrounding environment.
But no matter how he looked, he found no trace of his senior brothers and sisters.
It's really weird.
When Zhao Xun was confused, he heard some familiar voices coming from its head.
"Junior brother, is that you?"
Although the black sand storm has weakened, it has not completely disappeared.
So it's still hazy, like looking at flowers in the mist.
Zhao Xun was startled when he heard this.
Isn't this the voice of Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan?
The voice of Third Senior Brother Zhao Xun was the most familiar, and it was impossible to mishear it.
He was sure that the voice belonged to the third senior brother himself.
"Is it you, Third Senior Brother?"
Although Zhao Xun knew that the demon sect's magic method had the ability to forge the voices of other practitioners, it shouldn't be the case at this time, right?
You obviously have the strength to fight head-on, but you still want to do these things secretly. You really are not a human being.
"It's me, my junior brother!"
I saw Long Qingquan falling from the sky and landing next to Zhao Xun accurately.
