Li Qiang did not expect that Zhao Hao's foundation was so poor. Seeing that this old apprentice, who was older than his father, had such a strong desire for knowledge, Li Qiang could not bear to fool him.
After questioning Zhao Hao in detail about his training process, Li Qiang was surprised to find that he actually relied on a little knowledge of martial arts and kung fu, and went around looking for teachers and friends. He collected training methods from all possible places and practiced to the stage of consecration. He couldn't help but be greatly admired and moved.
Li Qiang decided to guide him in his practice.
Although Li Qiang has just started to practice, the conditions are too good. Not only does he have Ziyanxin to lay an excellent foundation, but also the Jade Eye Slip given by Fu Shan, which is equivalent to the various cultivation methods recorded in the classics of the Fu Shan sect. This Compared to Zhao Hao, there is a world of difference.
Zhao Hao had deviations in the revolving stage in the first step of his cultivation. After more than thirty years of practice, it was already very dangerous for him to force him into the consecrating stage.
Li Qiang had no choice but to ask him to start over from the rebirth period and tell him how to practice. Only then did Zhao Hao realize that all his previous efforts were in vain.
The rotation period is the most fundamental foundation-building method for cultivators, which is very important for future cultivation. During cultivation, cultivation stones with five attributes are used, namely metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the body is used as an array to form a "small universe" that is slowly absorbed from the outside to the inside. Only then can one gradually change one's physique to adapt to the use of jing energy and make it operate skillfully.
As soon as Zhao Hao figured it out, he immediately asked to practice.
"Master's disciples are practicing in the Kun position of the defensive formation. What do you think?" Zhao Hao was full of energy.
Li Qiang said with a smile: "You first go and explain to your family that you don't know when you will wake up after sitting down to practice. I also need to finish practicing the following few things."
When he entered the practice again, Li Qiang had to admire Fu Shan's wonderful idea. The shape of this hand crossbow was like an eagle flying high with its wings. It was only as big as a palm and could be attached to the back of the hand. The exquisite and subtle attack array in the hand crossbow almost made Li Qiang No way to start.
Li Qiang understood that the smaller the formation, the higher the requirements for the practitioner's practice. Small things have little room for display. For example, swords are the most difficult to make and must be fully designed in a sword body that is only eight inches long or even smaller. It's absolutely impossible for anyone not to be an expert to launch an attack formation.
Fortunately, Fu Shan had already completed the formation. All that was missing was energy. Li Qiang charged up the energy to activate the formation, slightly modified the shape of the hand crossbow, and completed training on his second weapon.
Then he practiced the spear. This spear was quite peculiar. It was about two meters long and had a one-meter blade. It was made up of eight superimposed blades and could rotate like a fan blade. This time, Li Qiang didn't spend much effort and quickly completed it. The barbs on the blade are purely for looks.
The last thing to cultivate was the sword given to Zhao Hao. Li Qiang hesitated in his heart. There were several knives in the bracelet, but Zhao Hao's cultivation was not enough. The sword requires the owner of the sword to personally inject energy into the sword, otherwise it would be impossible to control it. If it is not practiced, then it will be the same as the sword. There is no difference between ordinary steel knives.
After thinking for a long time, Li Qiang came up with a compromise. He took out a three-foot sword and first changed the attack array in the blade into a simple energy storage array and embedded four earth-based and water-based fairy stones as the foundation. As long as Zhao Hao transported some true energy into it. A knife can destroy all enemies, but it does not pose a great threat to cultivators.
Li Qiang found that after a long period of practicing weapons, his practice seemed to have made a lot of progress, and his ability to control the true essence had also been greatly improved, which made him very excited.
When he saw Zhao Hao and Li Qiang, he couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Hao was lying on the ground in a big glyph shape. The five fairy stones hanging above his body were slowly rotating. It was quite interesting. Li Qiang stretched out a ray of true energy and quietly explored it, and was slightly surprised. The small universe in Zhao Hao's body had already begun to take shape. However, the true energy is extremely weak and if I rely on these five low-grade immortal stones, I don’t know that I will have to practice until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse and the Moon before I can awaken.
Li Qiang was impatient to wait and took out a piece of high-grade "Red Flame Stone" to activate the true essence and pour the energy from the fairy stone into Zhao Hao's body. At the same time, he slightly modified the small universe formed in his body. Li Qiang's effort brought Zhao Hao a lot of benefits. The benefits are huge.
Zhao Hao opened his eyes and knew clearly that everything had changed.
As Zhao Hao once again crossed the rotation period, he began his first transformation. His snow-white head, eyebrows and beard turned black from the roots. The wrinkles and age spots on his face quickly disappeared. Watching him quickly transform from an old man to a middle-aged man. Li Qiang was once again surprised and thought: "It seems that all cultivators cannot judge their age from their appearance." Zhao Hao was not only surprised but also admired Li Qiang extremely.
Zhao Hao knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully: "Disciple, thank you Master."
Li Qiang sighed and said, "Oh, you are most afraid of kneeling down to me, but you just want to do this. If you do this again, I will kick you out of the door. Come on, this is a sword for you."
After kowtowing meticulously, Zhao Hao stood up and said, "Master's gift cannot be discarded." After taking the sword, Zhao Hao's eyes flashed with surprise and he said repeatedly: "A good sword, a good sword." Li Qiang said with a smile: "You try to use the true energy to move Go in."
When the sword came out, the misty green light in the blade was like mercury, flowing and swaying, both real and illusory. Zhao Hao sighed: "After all, it is the magic weapon of the Xian family that is truly extraordinary."
Li Qiang said: "Okay, let's go out into the formation. I don't know how long we have been practicing." They put away the defensive formation and walked out of the room.
The noise was almost overwhelming.
"Come out, come out, go and ask the boss, Master Li, and the old man to come out of seclusion."
Zhao Hao frowned: "Why are you so surprised and so unruly that you call Degui over?"
Li Qiang felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and asked: "What happened?"
"Hanlin City is under siege"
"The boss is here every day. We can't even walk in the house and our voices are hoarse."
"Yes, yes, even the prefect has come several times."
While everyone was talking, Zhao Degui hurried over.
"Daddy, Mr. Li is so good. He finally came out. The prefect almost drove me crazy. Hey, daddy, you have become younger." Zhao Hao raised his hand and gave Zhao Degui a slap in the face and said, "You are talking nonsense and messed up. Why are you panicking? Let’s talk after we enter the room.” He bowed to Li Qiang and said, “Master, please go sit in the room first.”
To the north of Hanlin City is the Sighing Forest, to the northwest is the red rocky mountain range, to the west is the desolate Gobi Desert, and to the southeast is the famous Green Basin. Therefore, Hanlin City was also an important military fortress of the Song Dynasty.
In the desolate Gobi Desert to the west, there is a fierce and cruel bandit army called the "Black Flag Army". Their leader Engang is said to be a cultivator with great martial arts skills. He has seven banners, all of which are ruthless and ruthless. Two to three thousand people were all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, specializing in robbing passing caravans and sometimes harassing and looting border crossings.
This time they captured Hanlin City, and this time more than 10,000 generals from the four major banners came.
As soon as Zhao Degui finished introducing the situation, a servant rushed into the room in a panic and shouted: "Oh no, the city has been destroyed."
After all, Zhao Hao was the owner of Silver Tower and had been used to seeing storms for more than seventy years. He looked at Li Qiang and said, "Master, please forgive me for being so presumptuous." Li Qiang nodded.
Li Qiang, who seemed calm on the surface, was already upset. He had never experienced a war. Although he had only watched the movie, he had to face it in person this time. He really didn't know what to do.
"Degui, please gather the whole family, old and young, in the courtyard. Don't bring too many things. Hide all valuables. Everyone prepares their own weapons and go quickly." Zhao Hao said to a warrior-looking man again: "Brother Yi Feng, go and take the lead. I'll gather some more crossbows and prepare three carriages. We'll retreat from the east gate."
The whole Hanlin City was in chaos, thick smoke billowing from the sky, there was a lot of noise in the streets, and war horses neighed in the distance.
Li Qiang was very busy and prepared to fire. He was secretly glad that he was not lazy and had refined the three weapons. Unfortunately, he had no time to practice the armor. He put on the "Red Flame Dragon Shield" and buckled the "Eagle Strike Crossbow" and held it upside down in his right hand. "Hundred-edged Spear" immediately calmed down.
After the weapon was put on, Li Qiang's whole body was different. The powerful aura slowly dispersed with the rhythm of his breathing. Zhao Hao felt a heavy pressure forcing him to retreat continuously, and the awe of Li Qiang in his heart deepened. "Master The Black Flag Army's custom of breaking into a city is to slaughter the city. You must not be merciful."
Zhao Hao's decades of experience are no joke. He is an old fox. As soon as he saw Li Qiang hurriedly loading his weapon, he knew that he must have never experienced combat and couldn't help but remind him. He was not worried about Li Qiang's safety. He knew that he Guaranteed no problem.
After a while, everyone gathered together. Zhao Hao commanded Ruoding: "Brother Yi Feng, take your sword and shield to open the way in front. Degui, take your crossbowmen to protect the carriage and support you with crossbows at any time, Uncle Yi Feng. I will take Did all the captains and gunners understand after they were cut off?" It seems that this is not the first time that the people in Yinlou have experienced this kind of thing. It seems that they have been trained to be so calm and composed.
"Father, please command the crossbowmen and I will cut off the rear." Zhao Degui was anxious.
"You idiot, your kung fu is better than mine. It's not like you didn't know you could stop the Black Flag Army's impact after you blocked it, you bastard." Zhao Hao scolded.
"Don't I worry about you?" Zhao Degui muttered.
"Hey, what am I doing?" Li Qiang thought: "I should be considered a master in martial arts. Although I haven't learned martial arts, I have good weapons. Besides, the apprentice's business is my business."
How could Zhao Hao let such a master go? "Master, you will be in the middle to provide support. Wherever the situation is dangerous, you will go and rescue you, okay?"
"Okay, that's it." Li Qiang was very satisfied.
Li Qiang stood on the roof of the carriage in the middle holding a hundred-blade gun. He thought it was quite cool.
Turning a street and hearing the thunderous sound of horse hooves from the west road, the Black Flag Army arrived.
Zhao Hao loudly ordered the entire team to retreat eastward while he led more than 20 spearmen to guard the street. He wanted to delay the Black Flag Army and buy time.
The carriage gradually moved away from Zhao Hao's spear squad. Li Qiang thought about how he could cope with him even if he couldn't see what was wrong. He jumped out of the car and said to Zhao Degui: "You go first, I will help your father."
When I rushed back to the intersection, I saw Zhao Hao fighting hard with his sword in the distance.
The two flag generals rushed over and the spearmen all had earth-colored faces. Zhao Hao knew something was going to happen and shouted: "Hold on." He raised his sword and rushed forward.
The two major banner generals coming from the Black Flag Army are Lei Banner General Yuan Ba, ranked third in the middle, and Snow Flag General Han Jingtian, ranked sixth in the middle.
Lei Qi General Yuanba roared like thunder: "Haha, the sixth man actually has a man who is desperate to see me chop him down." He urged his mount to swing the thick-backed machete in his hand.
What Yuan Ba and Han Jingtian didn't expect was that this time they hit an iron plate and there was a bigger iron plate coming towards them.
When Zhao Hao was young, he had the nickname "Crazy Sword" and he would fight like crazy and even risk his life. Looking at the thick-backed sword that Yuan Ba chopped off, a sneer appeared on his face and he shouted: "Well done." He mentioned the newly made sword. The sword in Zhen Yuanli's hand suddenly raised up, and he deliberately wanted to test the power of the new sword head-on.
Xue Qi saw that Han Jingtian was in trouble and shouted, "Yuan Ba, be careful, that's a precious sword." He jumped off the horse, drew his sword and stepped forward to rescue him.
There was a loud bang and the energy spread everywhere. Zhao Hao did not expect that the famous general of the Black Flag Army fell off his horse with just one slash. Han Jingtian was also forced to regain his confidence and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Haha, this road is blocked." The spearmen said Seeing the master of the house so majestic, everyone became energetic.
Yuan Ba was so frightened that he almost died if it weren't for Han Jingtian's reminder. "He came out of nowhere and the sword in his hand is so good." Greed surged in his heart.
Yuan Ba and Han Jingtian looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Come on, boys and men."
Zhao Hao cursed loudly and secretly complained in his heart that he was not afraid of the spearmen he brought with him. He angrily waved his sword and charged into the enemy group again.
The spearmen were no match for the battle-experienced Black Flag Army. Seven or eight people were killed and injured as soon as they came into contact. Just when they were feeling desperate, an invisible pressure pushed over. Someone screamed: "Don't panic, sir! Already."
The spearmen were stunned to see the eagles with golden palms flying out from Li Qiang's hands, hovering in the air for a moment, then swooping down with a clear eagle cry, and then got into the bodies of the Black Flag Army soldiers. Immediately afterwards, the soldier's body exploded. In an instant, no one in the black flag army who surrounded the spearmen was spared.
"Hurry up and catch up with the team in front. I'm here." Li Qiang held back the sadness of killing someone for the first time and ordered. Li Qiang had no idea that this Eagle Strike Crossbow was so powerful. He just tried it and killed thirty-one people. The Black Flag Army soldiers had no time to stop.
Zhao Hao said overjoyed: "Master, you are guarding the intersection and there are disciples here to help you, haha." The old man is really rejuvenated.
Lei Qi general Yuan Ba's eyes were red. He raised his sword and was about to fight Li Qiang, but Han Jingtian calmly grabbed him and persuaded him: "Third brother, don't be impulsive. This person is not something you and I can deal with. Let's retreat first and find the flag owner." He raised his voice and shouted: "Everyone, please step back. Hey, these two masters, do you dare to leave your names?"
Zhao Hao laughed and said: "A real man, do you want to change your name or not? Remember it. I'm crazy about Zhao Hao. As for my master, you don't deserve to ask. Hahahaha." Zhao Hao was so happy that he had never been so proud and comfortable.
Seeing the Black Flag Army retreat like a tide, Li Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go after the team."
By this time, the Black Flag Army all over the city had begun looting and killing.
The scene along the street heading east made Li Qiang think it was hell. There were corpses everywhere and many seriously injured people shouting wildly. After the Black Flag Army soldiers looted, they set off firework and made fireworks everywhere.
Zhao Hao killed a Black Flag Army soldier who came out of the house carrying a big bag and said, "Master, don't worry. There will be a big battle here every ten years. I am used to it." Li Qiang smiled bitterly and thought: You are used to me. But I'm not used to it at all.
"Hey, isn't that Fatty Qi's clothing store?" Li Qiang still remembered this clothing store. It was the first store he entered after entering Hanlin City. As soon as he walked through the door, Li Qiang saw soldiers from the Black Flag Army inside.
"Master, please don't kill me. I'll give you whatever you want. God has mercy on me."
"Oh, daddy, mommy was dragged inside by them. Please let my mom go."
"Haha, captain has entered the bridal chamber. Brothers, if anyone wants to be the first best man, sign up."
A shrill scream came, followed by a burst of curses: "How dare you bite me, bitch? I'll chop you to death."
"Child, what the fuck"
Li Qiang had never experienced such a tragic incident in person. An unknown fire rushed straight to his forehead and rushed in. Zhao Hao hurriedly followed in.
Li Qiang went crazy and fired countless energy spikes from his hundred-edged gun. The crisp eagle cry was even more frightening.
Zhao Hao shivered, and even he, a man who had experienced many battles, was frightened. The Black Flag Army soldiers in the room were cut into pieces, and the whole room was filled with broken bones, rotten flesh, and blood.
"Master Li"
Fatty Qi sat on the ground, hugging an eight or nine-year-old boy and crying loudly.
