Ten thousand miles to the west from Xichu City is Dacang Mountain, and to the west of Dacang Mountain is the vast grassland.
And this grassland is the borderland of the western territory of Chuxian Kingdom, called Malqin Grassland. This grassland stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and more than half of the main force of the Western Chu Liehu Army, Qiance Army and the Suppressing West Army are galloping on it.
On this vast grassland.
This was the first time Zhu Yu came to Malqin. Seeing the endless green grass and the vast sky, he felt extremely relaxed.
There are more than a hundred Golden Guards in Zhu Yu's group. The Golden Guards all wear golden battle armor, and all of them are wearing fierce tiger demon horses. It only takes half a day to get from Xichu to the Golden Guards' station.
On the boundless grassland, you can see golden yurts and temporary military tents made of wood, with long horns and flags. This is the camp of the Golden Guard.
The Golden Guard has a total of 500 people. These 500 people are the team directly under Xiang Yuan. It is said that each of these 500 people are carefully selected. Even among the Fierce Tiger Army, the Golden Guard has the best
of combat power.
The former Golden Guard fought against Ma'erqin and made great military exploits, and was known as the first guard of Western Chu.
It's just that in recent years, there haven't been many border battles, and the Golden Guard has been delayed in deploying by the Overlord of Western Chu. This powerful army has not fought on a large scale for three years.
Xiang Yuan was not in a high mood all the way over. Five hundred Golden Guards cavalry came to greet him at the gate of the camp, and they only greeted him with a few words. He didn't even introduce Zhu Yu, the new psychic captain, and hastily let the assembled people go.
The teams dispersed one after another.
The yurt where Xiang Yuan lived was tall and spacious, corresponding to the prince's rank, while Zhuyu's yurt was arranged in the position closest to the west in the entire Golden Guard.
This location is extremely hidden, almost alone outside the entire Golden Guard camp. From the camp to the Zhuyu Yurt, you need to cross a large mountain.
It is more appropriate to say that Zhuyu's location is a yurt, rather than a Western checkpoint.
However, although the location of the yurt is remote, the facilities inside are extremely complete. There is an extremely neat talisman array under the yurt. The yurt has its own space, including a training room, a bedroom, an alchemy room, a forging room, etc.
Zhuyu observed it carefully and was quite satisfied.
Zhu Yu did not bring the Zuo brothers this time, but Pinzhu came with him. In addition, there were two girls, Eggplant and Xigua.
The oirans and other girls in Guangxian Tower were reluctant to part with them, but Zhu Yu could only endure the pain and let her go. All things were centered on cultivation.
Zhuyu has now come into contact with the secret realm of "Innocent Heart", which is as important as "burning in the world of mortals". Zhuyu must find a simpler environment and concentrate on cultivation.
Malqin Grassland is a good place, and Zhuyu had a ten-year plan before he came.
It took him ten years to cultivate the "Innocent Heart" secret realm to the point where he could enter the palace. He knew very well that this secret realm was extremely difficult and not as simple as "rolling around in the world of mortals".
This secret realm is a real test of perseverance, endurance and will. It will not be possible to cross it overnight.
He directed several girls to clean up the yurt. They were busy until night, when Xiang Yuan came over quietly.
He and Zhu Yu entered the practice room of the yurt, sat down slowly, and said, "Zhu Yu, do you know everything about the situation here?"
Zhu Yu smiled slightly and said: "I basically understand it. I feel that the camp here is very big, but there are very few people in the battle formation. It looks very empty."
Xiang Yuan sighed softly, shook his head and said: "Everyone in the world knows about the Golden Guard, but how can the Golden Guard be as beautiful as imagined? After three years of no war, my camp will be abandoned. Your current position is the most beautiful in our camp.
Important western post.
If the troops of the Western Qin Dynasty were to attack the camp, the west sentry post would be the first to give early warning, and its strategic position could be said to be of great importance.
The conditions here are very difficult, so this location is the best. Don’t feel aggrieved.”
He paused and said: "Starting from tomorrow, your main task is to concentrate on your practice. Regarding your practice, I will personally guide you. You have a solid foundation, strong combat power, swordsmanship, talismans and divine and demon body training.
He is a rare genius who can practice all three.
It is difficult for me to give you any advice on the Tao of Talisman and the body refining of gods and demons, but on the way of swordsmanship, I will teach you everything I have learned throughout my life. I hope you can increase your strength as soon as possible, and it is best to obtain the position of Marquis of Longevity in an upright manner."
When Xiang Yuan said this, Zhu Yu was stunned and speechless.
He didn't know that Xiang Yuan selected him to personally teach him how to cultivate and do his best to enhance his strength.
Xiang Yuan has now practiced the secret method of "Asking God's Will" taught to him by Xuanhuang Qi. Ten years later, Xiang Yuan must win in the God's Will Bet before he can complete this secret method. At that time, he can truly step into the realm of divine transformation.
realm.
Therefore, when he returned to Xichu this time, it could be said that he had to overcome all difficulties before choosing Zhuyu. As soon as the incident involving Zhuyu in Xichu City came to an end, he couldn't wait to rush to Ma'erqin, just to seize as much time as possible.
Ten years is just a blink of an eye for a monk, so there is no room for him to delay.
But how could he have imagined that Zhu Yu had just touched the secret realm of "Innocent Heart"? In the four-character motto of "Innocent Heart", the word "blunt" came first.
Xiang Yuan thought he had found a treasure. In fact, Zhu Yu is now worse than useless. Both his aptitude and understanding have dropped to freezing point. How can Xiang Yuan teach him to become Zhu Yu?
Zhu Yu was naturally aware of his situation. When Xiang Yuan said this, he roughly understood what Xiang Yuan meant.
Although he didn't know why Xiang Yuan insisted on instructing him in cultivation, and he devoted all his life's learning to instruct him, Zhu Yu was a disciple of the Hongchen Sect after all. He had been exposed to all kinds of unbelievable secret methods of the Hongchen Sect, so he was no longer surprised.
.
It's just that this time Xiang Yuan is unlucky. The third prince Xiang is really not very lucky. If he finds himself, he will be unlucky for eight lifetimes.
Zhu Yu was silent for a long time, and then said: "Third Prince, you have taught me all you have learned in your life. What do you mean by this?"
Xiang Yuan smiled slightly and said: "I know you have this question, and I won't hide it from you. You should also be able to see the situation in Xichu now. I have been slow to break through to the realm of god transformation. If I don't break through, I will
One day I will be abandoned in this wilderness.
I, the five hundred members of the Golden Guard, each picked one out of a thousand, but did not get the chance to fight for the country. It is all my fault.
I will teach you how to cultivate, and ask you to fight for me in ten years. Your opponent's current strength is almost the same as yours. If you can defeat him in ten years, I will break the oath prohibition, and you will be able to successfully enlighten and step forward.
Enter the state of becoming a god.
Therefore, you and I do not have the name of master and disciple, but in fact we are practicing master and disciple. I did not tell you in detail about this matter in advance, because I believed that you would not refuse.
This matter is very important to me, and it is also a great fate for you. If you win the title of Longevity Marquis of Xichu, in the future, you will have the hope of becoming a pillar of glory in the Fairyland Flower Competition, and you may not even be the number one scholar.
…”
It was rare for Xiang Yuan to talk eloquently. He was taciturn and cherished his words like gold. This was the first time in Zhu Yu's memory that he had heard him say so many words.
But these words...
Zhu Yu could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
He pondered for a long time and said: "Third Prince, you are really wrong this time! My qualifications are extremely poor. You must have investigated my information. I have practiced for more than thirty years before I barely entered the virtual realm. Recently I
Being able to rise in Xichu City is all because I met an incredible destiny.
This fairy fate can help me step into the realm of longevity at an incredible speed.
But once I reach longevity, this celestial relationship will end, and I will become mediocre and useless again.
This thing sounds unbelievable, but it is absolutely true. Originally, I planned to hide it all the time. Since you have told me so many things so openly and honestly today, I don’t need to hide it anymore.
If you chose me, you definitely chose the wrong person..."
At this point, Zhu Yu didn't know what to say, so he could only talk nonsense.
The secret realm "Innocent Heart" that Zhu Yu is touching now is fundamentally a secret realm with many difficulties and cannot be broken through overnight.
At this time, Xiang Yuan picked himself as a genius. Isn't he asking for trouble?
As soon as Xiang Yuan heard Zhu Yu's words, he stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically and said, "Is this true?"
He is a very profound and well-educated person. He usually has a calm expression no matter what happens, and there is no possibility of losing his composure.
But at this moment, he obviously lost his composure and turned pale with shock.
Zhu Yu nodded seriously and smiled bitterly: "Third Prince, this is absolutely true, how can I hide it from you? I usually laugh and curse without any scruples, not because I am strong, but because I have been silent for forty years.
It has been suppressed for many years and for more than 40 years.
Once I stand up, even if it is only temporary, I want to indulge in the feeling of being strong, that's all.
Since I have no intention of pursuing the great road, I will eventually turn into dust. In this case, why don't I go crazy and then fall, so that my life will not be wasted."
Zhu Yu's words were also nonsense, but his words were extremely sincere and left no room for doubt.
Xiang Yuan kept staring at him. For a long time, Xiang Yuan let out a long sigh, and there were tears in his eyes: "God's will, this is God's will! God's will is like this, God's will is like this..."
He stood up slowly, and in a flash, he had already rushed outside the yurt. He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed:
"It's God's will. God wants to destroy me. What can I do?"
"Ten years, ten years are just the moon in the mirror, flowers in the water, and the road to spiritual transformation is long and out of reach. The sky is playing tricks on me, who can I blame?" Xiang Yuan laughed, and his figure gradually faded away.
.
He was still wearing golden armor, but his back looked extremely desolate and lonely.
He has been the golden heir for sixty years and has lived under the aura of Xiang Jingtian for sixty years. He has lived a hard life. All the sons of the Xiang family, including tigers and wolves, are his enemies. Even though he is a genius from heaven.
