Everyone at the table was shocked by Zhang Sui's words, and Lao Lu stood up directly and asked, "Didn't the Second Master say that he wanted to go on a trip?"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Following you to fight against foreigners, isn't that considered traveling?"
Youde stood up and said loudly: "Of course, our Nanli sect has considered joining the army as the only way to gain experience in the sect a hundred years ago, and it can be said that we have gained a lot.
If the second young master also joins the army, he will never regret it in the future!"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "As a practitioner, if I join the army directly, I will have many restrictions. I should just treat it as a doctor accompanying the army. This way I can come and go more freely, so as not to cause trouble when I get there."
Tong Yin nodded and said: "In what capacity you want to join the army, it depends on the Second Young Master himself. My suggestion is that you can join the army as a guest minister, so that you can at least receive a salary from the court.
Although there are not too many, there are some, especially since the imperial court holds some rare items needed by practitioners. If you can perform meritorious service with your identity as a guest minister, you might be able to get something useful to the second young master."
Hearing this, You De nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, I have forgotten about this. Some of the elixirs and weapons specially provided by the imperial court for practitioners are very good. If you can make meritorious deeds and get one or two, there may be surprises.
"
Zhang Sui didn't understand the guests accompanying the army, so he humbly inquired.
These Youde are well-connected, and there are several elders with relatively high cultivation levels in their Nanli sect who are now guest ministers in the military.
The imperial court's requirements for guest ministers who accompany the army are still very high. It does not mean that you can become a guest minister if you have some cultivation. Either your cultivation is really high, at least at the peak of the Ascension Realm or the Human Immortal Realm, or you have some strange abilities.
A practitioner who is extremely useful to the military.
A practitioner like Zhang Sui, who is both proficient in medical skills and has advanced cultivation, is highly coveted as a military leader. Such a person is truly a distinguished guest.
You De and Lao Lu, who knew the details of Zhang Sui, were even more overjoyed to have Zhang Sui join them.
Zhang Sui looked at everyone's excited faces, picked up the wine bowl in his hand, and said: "You are all older than me, and you are all my big brothers. I have been thinking about joining the army for a long time.
I admire you very much for returning to the army at this age and fighting against the aliens as mortals. Since Brother Tong came to Kunzhou this time to recruit old troops and was caught up by me, it is also our fate, not to mention me and
The relationship of the old road.
When the team sets off tomorrow, I will definitely go with the army and do my best to provide you with some help!"
Zhang Sui's words cheered up everyone in the courtyard, and they all raised their wine bowls.
Tong Yin even loudly said: "With an expert like the Second Young Master joining our team, we will surely avenge the people who were slaughtered by them and drive those aliens back to their underground!"
Youde even said: "Not to mention anything else, with regard to Second Young Master's medical skills, when you go to the battlefield, all you have to do is fight for your life, and the rest can be left to our Second Young Master. It can be said that you are very confident!"
Everyone even loudly said yes.
Everyone drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
Suddenly, the whole courtyard was very lively.
Zhang Sui had a natural affinity for these upright military men. This may be related to the trust and respect that the world has for its young soldiers.
These military men must have some differences in their ideas from our fellow soldiers, but they are very similar in terms of fighting against aliens.
Everyone came over with jars of wine to toast the unassuming second young master. Zhang Sui also accepted all comers. Of course, he had to use his skills to activate his skills. Otherwise, he might just pounce on him after this round.
Street.
The veterans who could not return to the army were too old and not in very good health, but they came forward with wine jars and toasted to Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui did not refuse. After a bowl of wine, he took these older veterans and diagnosed their physical conditions one by one, prescribed good prescriptions, and told them to take them on time.
You De and others knew that Zhang Sui's diagnosis was definitely correct. Seeing that they were all doubtful, they stepped forward directly and urged them to follow the prescribed diagnosis and take medicine on time.
After a noisy night, when Zhang Sui returned to the courtyard, it was already ten minutes later, and Lu Bei was waiting for Zhang Sui in the courtyard.
In fact, Zhang Sui was not greatly affected. At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the veterans in the first courtyard were all drunk and confused. He kept running the exercises, but it was not affected much. He returned to his courtyard, washed up directly, and lay down.
I fell asleep next time,
Early the next morning, Lao Lu was waiting at the entrance of the small courtyard. Zhang Sui had already noticed Lao Lu's arrival, got up and washed himself, and asked him to call him into the bedroom.
Veterans like them were also extremely efficient. They didn't even say goodbye to their families. They set off directly after breakfast in the morning and headed to the southwest.
Zhang Sui didn't care. He himself was considered carefree. He had already greeted Mr. Liu of Zhang Mansion and his eldest brother before, so he didn't need to prepare too much at this time.
Zhang Sui tidied up briefly and followed Lao Lu to his courtyard. He didn't think about the older veterans who were drunk yesterday and were in high spirits this morning. They were much more energetic than him, a practitioner.
point.
Zhang Sui left two letters, one for his elder brother and one for Liu, and asked Lu Bei to help deliver them.
Then he directly followed Lao Lu and his old brothers, riding a horse and leading a horse, a group of fifty people, galloping all the way to the southwest.
There was no obstruction along the way, and Tong Yin was worried that Zhang Sui was not used to it, so he took special care of her. However, seeing Zhang Sui's indifferent expression as he followed them along, he didn't feel much strange, and his heart was at ease.
Put it down.
During this period, every night at night, Zhang Sui would leave with his sword and go somewhere unknown. Whenever the moonlight became brighter, Zhang Sui would return to the army, and not many people noticed where he was going.
When Zhang Sui left, he always looked for targets to kill in the larger towns along the way. Not to mention, every town had a bad person, either a cult member or someone who was riddled with evil spirits.
This made him take action without any scruples
Along the way, he gained a lot from both the power of merit and the power of calamity. This also made Zhang Sui sigh. Being trapped in one place is indeed not the best way to improve his cultivation. In less than ten days, he collected
The power of calamity and merit are already more than what he has collected in the past few months in Kunzhou City.
This also made him sigh that being trapped in one place was indeed not suitable for his practice.
On this day, a group of people traveled to a mountain village. There were not many villagers in the mountain village, only a few old people were trapped in it, and the young people were nowhere to be seen.
Tong Yin and others didn't care, because they only stayed here for one night.
When the villagers saw them, they were also afraid.
In the evening, Zhang Sui had nothing to do and wandered around the village when he noticed something strange.
Among the villagers, many people took some grains and secretly ran to the mountains at night, and after worshiping, they returned to the village. All these actions were carried out quietly, without alerting the people stationed in the village at all.
Tong Yin et al.
Zhang Sui also felt some inexplicable spiritual energy fluctuations in the air, and then he became alert.
Zhang Sui stood up and went outside the house. The entire village was silent, and a bloody aura spread continuously in the north of the village.
Zhang Sui directly rose into the air with his sword, reaching a hundred feet in the air. Looking at the village below, he saw countless bloody figures slowly gathering from all directions of the village.
The old men in the village were all kneeling on the ground, muttering something constantly. The blood shadows passed over these old men and slowly gathered towards the residence of the veterans.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Sui didn't want to have too many twists and turns, so he shouted softly: "Suppress the evil!" A large sword light enveloped the entire village, and the golden sword light scattered throughout the village.
Those blood shadows fell to the ground in the sword light, wailing and struggling, and finally became invisible.
The old men in the village were frightened by the sword light and were at a loss. Looking at the blood shadows that were being consumed in the sword light, their expressions were unclear whether they were happy or sad. In short, they were extremely complicated.
The veterans stationed in the village also woke up one after another at this time. Looking at the bright sword lights between the sky and the earth, and looking at the blood shadows that continued to dissipate around them, they all knew that they had encountered something unclean.
Lao Lu was the first to react and directly woke up the veterans who were still talking.
However, seeing those blood shadows dissipating, Lao Lu was also frightened, but when he saw countless sword rays disappearing these blood shadows, he felt relieved.
Zhang Sui felt a small amount of the power of calamity and merit entering his body, and knew that the problem should be minor.
Then the figure fell down. When Lao Lu, You De and others saw Zhang Sui falling in the camp, they all surrounded him.
Zhang Sui looked at their nervous expressions and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can rest peacefully. Let's check with the elders in the village about the situation tomorrow morning."
When Lao Lu and others heard this, they didn't say much and took everyone back to the camp. Although they were a little worried, they had no other choice but to send a few people to take turns to watch the night.
At dawn, a group of old men from the village came to the camp and prayed to see the practitioner last night.
Zhang Sui also did his part and looked at the leading old man. The old man was dressed in brocade clothes and was a little out of place with the surrounding villagers. When he saw Zhang Sui, he gave a big salute and knelt down on the ground.
Zhang Sui did not stop him to see what he had to say.
The old man in brocade clothes said: "First of all, our village is in great trouble, so please ask the immortal to lend a helping hand to save us from the sea of suffering!"
Zhang Sui frowned and asked, "What's going on? Please explain it clearly first."
The old man said: "Three months ago, a woman came to the village. All the middle-aged men in the village were bewitched by her and followed the woman into the dense forest in the mountains. They did not know where she ended up.
After that, various strange things appeared in the village. The first was the children. Every half-month, they would get up and follow the blood shadows deep into the jungle. However, these old people could not move when the blood shadows appeared and watched the children helplessly.
I happily followed those bloody figures without a trace, and in less than two months, only an old man over sixty years old was left in the village, and the others were nowhere to be seen, and I don't know whether they were alive or dead."
Zhang Sui heard this and asked: "You are in a critical location, why didn't you report it to the state capital?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "How could it not be reported to the state capital? It's just that after the green-clothed guards sent by the mansion disappeared three times in a row, no one dared to come here again."
Zhang Suidao: "Do you know where that woman is now?"
The old man in golden clothes shook his head and said: "There are only three big mountains near our village. Two of them have Buddhist and Taoist temples. There is only one that no one dares to enter."
Zhang Suidao said: "Is that in that big mountain where no one dares to enter?"
The old man in Jinyi hesitated for a moment and said, "I am not sure about this either."
At this moment, a crazy voice came from outside: "Rou Niang, are you looking for me? I'm here! Where are you? Where are you?"
When the old man in brocade clothes heard this, his expression changed a little. Seeing his appearance, Zhang Sui went out directly.
I saw a young man dressed in rags, holding a snowflake brocade. On the brocade, there was a graceful figure of a woman, but her face was not visible.
Seeing this, the old man in Jinyi quickly ordered his servants, "Isn't it enough to drive Crazy Chen back and embarrass himself outside all day long?"
Zhang Sui saw the madman Liu mentioned by the old man. He only saw that his clothes were in tatters, but his expression did not show much madness.
He stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, bring this big brother here, I have something to ask him!"
The old man in brocade clothes changed his expression and said quickly: "This Crazy Liu became crazy half a year ago. His words are incoherent. He doesn't have anything to ask."
Zhang Sui glanced sideways at the old man in brocade clothes and ignored him. The people from Lao Lu stepped forward directly, pushed aside the people who were pushing Lang Lang, and brought Crazy Liu to Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui asked: "Who is the Rou Niang you are talking about? What grievances can you tell me?"
Madman Liu's eyes were full of confusion, but he said: "It's all these beasts in the village. They have harmed Rou Niang, and they want to kill them all and bury her in the mountains! Now Rou Niang comes out to find these wolf-hearted people."
I want to take revenge on you, please don’t stop me!"
When the old man in golden clothes heard this, he said angrily: "You madman Liu, you are talking nonsense. That lady is a monster and has killed many young people in the village. What do you mean by these words now?"
Crazy Liu said: "If it weren't for you beasts in clothes, how could Rou Niang have ended up in this situation? What you are experiencing now is all retribution, it is Rou Liang's retribution for you! None of you can escape! All your families are still there
He will return all the pain that Rouliang has suffered to you, every bit!"
The old man in brocade clothes became even more angry and ordered a few people around him to block Crazy Liu's mouth.
Zhang Sui stretched out his hand and said, "Let him speak. If you don't let him speak clearly, I won't let you let it go easily!"
Lao Lu and others even said: "Speak everything clearly, otherwise it will not be easy for you. Our second young master is a big shot who hates evil as much as he hates it!"
