Xue Jingnian was a little surprised. He said: "Brother Lu, barbarian slaves are difficult to tame and are barbaric in nature. Therefore, in the Zhou Dynasty, only Yanzhou is close to barbarian territory. There are also barbarian slaves in Beimang. There are no barbarian slaves in other places."
What he said was the truth. Barbarian slaves were difficult to educate. They were barbaric in nature and had a cruel temper. They could not be raised well at all.
Therefore, the high-ranking officials and merchants from the nine states of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not like barbarian slaves very much, and they preferred docile ones.
Lu Ning didn't talk nonsense. He said in Xue Jinnian's ear: "I have three drops of dragon blood!"
Hearing this, Xue Jingnian was immediately stunned.
He looked at Lu Ning in surprise, then laughed for a moment and said: "Brother Lu, what are you buying? It's too foreign. Those two barbarian slaves are given to you."
Lu Ning smiled and said: "I have three drops, but I can only give you one drop."
Xue Jingnian was very excited: "It's enough to get a drop of this hard-to-find thing!"
Lu Ning nodded, took out the jade bottle from the jade belt, and then took out a small thumb bottle, and poured out a drop of dragon's blood for Xue Jingnian. He said it was one drop, but that drop was worth three drops.
Lin Jian, Pei Tianbei, and Gu Wushuang were shocked. Is that really dragon blood?
Xue Jingnian's face was also full of excitement. Because he believed in Lu Ning, he never doubted it at all. He saw that the dragon's blood was transmitting a hot aura, giving off a little suffocating feeling.
Blood is like gilded gold, shining like jade.
"Brother Xue, please keep it and ask your master to go to the demon clan in southern Xinjiang to obtain the blood of the powerful elephant, so that you can temper your body and practice the magical power of the dragon elephant." Lu Ning smiled and handed the small jade bottle as big as his thumb to Xue Jinnian.
Xue Jingnian was extremely excited. Originally, he had never thought of becoming a human being, but with this dragon's blood in hand, he was confident.
"In this life, I, Xue Jinnian, am truly lucky to know you, Brother Lu!" Xue Jinnian sighed with emotion, let alone two barbarian slaves, how much would a hundred barbarian slaves be worth?
But dragon blood is a rare thing in the world.
"By the way, Brother Lu, I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious, where did you get the dragon blood?" Xue Jinnian asked curiously, holding the small jade bottle.
Lin Jian and the other three also looked at Lu Ning curiously.
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of a dragon turning into a dragon?"
Xue Jingnian nodded and said: "I've heard of it, but those who can transform into dragons are very powerful. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to draw blood, right?"
Lu Ning said: "It is indeed very difficult, that's why this dragon's blood is so precious!"
Xue Jingnian grinned and said: "That's right, it's so precious!"
After the voice fell, Xue Jingnian asked the commander who was escorting the barbarian slaves to bring the brother and sister over.
The pair of barbarian brothers and sisters were dirty, but their eyes were dark and bright. When Lu Ning took out the dragon's blood just now, they also saw it and were amazed.
At the same time, they also felt that the blood was burning, hot and stinging.
Xue Jingnian looked at the barbarian brothers and sisters, but didn't see anything special. He said coldly: "From today on, he is your master."
The brother and sister didn't say anything, just stared at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning didn't pay attention. He looked away from the brother and sister and smiled at Xue Jingnian: "Brother Xue, I'm a little tired today, so I won't go shopping anymore. We'll go shopping tomorrow."
Xue Jingnian nodded and took Lu Ning back to the palace.
Naturally, the barbarian brother and sister followed behind and came to the Beimang Prince's Mansion together.
Perhaps it was the first time they saw such a luxurious and majestic palace, and the two barbarian brothers and sisters were also stunned.
Lu Ning took the barbarian brother and sister back to where he lived and immediately ordered people to prepare hot water.
The next step is to let the two dirty barbarian brothers and sisters clean up.
It took three buckets of black water to wash the person clean.
The elder brother's skin is slightly darker and he looks to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. The younger sister's skin is slightly fairer and he looks to be about thirteen or fourteen years old.
This age was also a rebellious period in previous lives, let alone in this world.
"If you want my brother and sister to recognize you as their master, then you have to give us the gold and jade liquid." The elder brother changed into a sleeveless animal skin dress and stared at Lu Ning with his dark and bright eyes.
Lu Ning knew he was talking about dragon blood, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "What's your name?"
"Longe, the Ge of war."
Lu Ning nodded, looked at his slightly wild sister and shouted, "What about you?"
The younger sister looked at Lu Ning with a very unhappy expression and said, "Sister Long."
Brother Long and Sister Long?
Lu Ning glanced at the sister, no matter what their real names were, he nodded and said: "From now on, I will call you Long Ge Long Mei."
After his voice fell, his eyes fell on the brother and sister's eyebrows, their arms, and their chests.
Finally, he turned behind the brother and sister, activated his left eye, and saw through their backs at a glance.
There are tattoos on all four places. Except for the eyebrows, which are hidden, the other three places are exposed.
The strange thing is that the tattoo lines are radiating with brilliance, but most people can't notice it at all and just think it is an ordinary red tattoo.
"White tiger arms, green dragon back, red bird on the chest, are there black thorns on the feet?" Lu Ning turned to the front and stared at Long Ge and asked.
Nalong Ge looked surprised: "How do you know?"
Lu Ning was of course guessing. With all four signs present, if it were him, he would definitely have Xuanwu tattooed on the soles of his feet.
As for the hidden tattoos between their eyebrows, they were a little weird. They were blocked by a magical force, making it impossible for him to see through them.
Lu Ning looked at it for a moment, then sat on a chair and asked, "Do all barbarians have tattoos?"
Long Ge shook his head and said: "Some people have tattoos, and some don't. My sister and I have natural tattoos."
"intrinsic?"
A look of astonishment appeared on Lu Ning's face.
"Then what's unusual about you guys?" Lu Ning asked.
"No!"
Long Ge shook his head and continued: "Just when you took out the golden jade liquid, my blood seemed to be burning, it was hot and stinging, and it was extremely uncomfortable."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly, "That's dragon blood."
"Dragon blood?"
When they heard it was dragon blood, the brother and sister were shocked.
Who is this master, who can actually obtain dragon blood?
Lu Ning nodded and said: "It depends on your performance. If you perform well, I will give you dragon blood."
Hearing this, excitement flashed across the faces of the brother and sister. They put their right fists on their chests and saluted, "It's the master."
"Let's call him Young Master from now on." Lu Ning thought for a while and said.
The brother and sister nodded.
Lu Ning then inquired again and found out that the brother and sister were born with tattoos. Their parents died when Long Ge was eight years old, and they have been wandering in the barbarian territory.
But they are too weak, they are wanderers, they have no tribe, and they are looked down upon wherever they go.
There is no way to go to the place where Mannan and Beimang meet. I heard that they were captured and used as slaves. As long as they behave honestly, the master's family will take care of food, and at least they will not starve to death.
Long Ge clenched his fist and said: "There are also barbarians who say that my sister and I are not barbarians at all. We do not have barbarian blood in our bodies, so we are born weak."
Lu Ning smiled and said nothing.
On the other hand, Sister Long glanced at Lu Ning secretly and said to his brother: "Brother, if we just follow the young master, we will definitely starve to death...!"
Gugu...!
As she said this, Long Mei's stomach growled.
She immediately looked embarrassed.
Lu Ning glanced at her, stood up and ordered people to prepare food.
For a moment, the brother and sister looked at a table of sumptuous dishes, their mouths watering with greed.
"Brother, you are so worthless...!"
Long Mei tried to help her brother Long, but her own saliva couldn't help but flow out of her mouth.
Long Ge swallowed his saliva and looked back at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning nodded and said to his sister: "Stop talking nonsense and eat first."
Immediately, the brother and sister squatted on the stool and started devouring it.
Lu Ning sat aside and watched. The brother and sister looked as if they hadn't eaten in three to five days.
In just a moment, there was not much left on the table.
After three pounds of beef, half a head of roasted lamb, braised pork elbow, fish fillets and other food, the brother and sister were only half full.
Lu Ning was slightly stunned, but then he smiled and ordered his servants to prepare ten pounds of beef, a roasted whole lamb and some other vegetables.
"Hiccup...!"
The brother and sister didn't stop until they were burping.
Lu Ning took a look and saw that the brother and sister were really good at eating.
"Sir, if I follow you, can we eat like this every day in the future?" Long Ge asked.
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Of course."
When Long Ge heard this, his eyes were sharp and he said: "Then I will follow you to the death."
"Me too!" Long Mei said.
Lu Ning smiled and nodded, and after removing the dining table, he interrogated the brother and sister about some things about the barbarians. The two of them were full of energy after eating and drinking, and started talking nonstop.
"The barbarians also believe in gods, and they respect the gods as Bodhisattvas."
"Bodhisattva is barbaric?"
"Yes, sir, that Bodhisattva is actually a human being, but he is more powerful. The barbarians worship him as a god. My sister and I even stole his offerings."
As he said this, Long Ge and Long Mei grinned.
"Oh, by the way, that Bodhisattva has a disciple who is a few years older than us and is very powerful."
"One time my sister and I went to eat the offerings. He saw us and chased us and beat us up."
Lu Ning smiled, the brother and sister lived just to have a mouth, as long as it was food, it didn't matter whose offering it was.
He had already heard that the Bodhisattva must be a strong man among the barbarians, maybe a first-class strong man in the world.
At dinner.
Lu Ning and Xue Jingnian talked about the Bodhisattva Man, and Xue Jingnian nodded and said: "Yes, the Bodhisattva Man is the strongest existence among the barbarians. I heard that he is a first-level cultivation, but he has lived for nine hundred years, and he may have surpassed the first level early.
"
"It is precisely because of this that the Zhou Dynasty has been unable to conquer the barbarians."
Lu Ning nodded secretly, remembering the Bodhisattva Man in his heart.
"Brother Lu, how about that pair of barbarian brothers and sisters? Are they obedient?" Xue Jinnian asked with a smile.
"It's not bad." Lu Ning smiled.
The brother and sister just wanted to eat, and they didn't pay too much attention to whether they were barbarians or not.
After all, the two of them were on barbarian territory and were bullied and chased by the barbarians. They were lucky to survive.
The next day.
August 19th.
Experience: 3,157 million points.
After Xue Jingnian took Lu Ning and others around other places in Baiyu City, they left the city and ran towards the prairie.
As far as the eye can see, the sky and grass meet each other.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Lu Ning took Lin Jian and others to leave Beimang and head to Yanzhou.
After visiting Yanzhou and Youzhou, you can return to Jingzhou.
Xue Jinnian knew that Lu Ning had a mission, so he did not force him to stay, leaving Lu Ning free to come to Beimang White Jade City again.
As for Long Ge and Long Mei, they also left with Lu Ning.
Riding a horse for the first time, the brother and sister were a little excited.
August 21st.
Experience: 3,461 million points.
Around this time.
Lu Ning and his people appeared in Yancheng in Yanzhou.
Zuo Zongci, the governor of Yanzhou, accompanied by officials of all sizes from Yanzhou, greeted Lu Ning outside the city gate.
Regarding Yanzhou, Lu Ning planned to go through the motions. After all, the imperial city of Beijing and Zhou Dynasty was located at the junction of Yanzhou and Youzhou, occupying the territory of both states, but occupying more of Yanzhou.
Therefore, there has been no turmoil in Yanzhou, and both officials and aristocratic families are loyal to the imperial court.
Of course, except for the sects in Yanzhou.
The largest sect in Yanzhou is the Beiming Immortal Sect in the northernmost part of Yanzhou.
The Beiming Immortal Sect is one of the five major immortal sects. It has existed relatively early, about the same as the Taichu Sword Sect, and is thousands of years older than the Baiyun Taoist Temple, Ziyang Sect, and Xuannv Palace.
Under the Beiming Immortal Sect, only the Night Ghost Sect is considered a first-rate force, and the others are not worth mentioning.
Yeguimen was also involved in King Yongshan's rebellion, but when King Anshan was arrested, King Suona escaped.
Lu Ning set about establishing a material supply station and asked Pei Tianbei, Gu Wushuang and others to find the home of Yeguimen.
August 22nd.
evening.
Lu Ning followed Lin Jian and others to a cold valley.
There is mist in the valley, and there is snow on the top of the mountain.
This place is the home of Night Ghost Gate, but there is no sign of Night Ghost Gate.
Lu Ning's consciousness swept across and he discovered that in the cold valley, except for some old people and children, how could anyone be young and strong?
As for those who are capable of cultivation, they are only a handful.
Obviously, the people from Yeguimen had fled long ago.
In this regard, Lu Ning didn't say anything and directly issued a demon-suppressing order in Yanzhou. Anyone who caught the master, elders, and disciples of the Night Ghost Sect would be rewarded by the imperial court.
Once the demon-suppressing order was issued, there were still many people willing to arrest people.
That night.
Lu Ning rushed to Youzhou with Lin Jian and others. They did not pass through the Imperial City of Beijing and Zhou Dynasty, but walked a section of waterway from the east of Yanzhou to the east of Youzhou and disembarked.
August 22nd.
Experience: 3,765 million points.
At noon.
Lu Ning led the people ashore, and Chen Hu led the people to greet him on the shore.
"See my lord."
Lu Ning nodded and said as he walked: "There are many sects in Youzhou, have the Sha Humen, Fulong Sect, and Qianwu Hall been dealt with?"
Chen Hu nodded and said: "Sir, we have already dealt with it. The leader of the Killing Hu Clan, the leader of the Fulong Sect, and the leader of the Qianwu Hall have all been escorted back to the Tianlao."
"We haven't moved either the Huangquan Gate or the Nine Gates."
Lu Ning nodded.
There are two major powers in Youzhou, one is Jingxinzhai, one of the four major Buddhist sects, and the other is Nether Palace, a ghost sect.
Huangquan Gate and Yinsha Gate are both attached to His Highness Netherworld.
As for the Nine Layers Gate, it is one of the stronger martial arts sects. It is said that very early on, it competed with three martial arts holy places for the title of holy land, but unfortunately they did not win.
But it must be said that Jiuchong Sect is not an evil sect, but instead vigorously promotes martial arts and physical fitness in Youzhou.
It's just that they have problems with their stance.
As for the Pure Heart Fast, it goes without saying. It is the pure land of Buddhism. It does not care about worldly affairs and does not have any issues of stance.
Therefore, the three most serious places are Nether Palace, Huangquan Gate, and Yinsha Gate.
But when King Yongshan rebelled, Netherworld Palace did not take action. However, the Huangquan Sect and Yinsha Sect under his command were involved, and only a few individuals were involved.
In addition, the wealthy families in Youzhou supported King Anshan more.
In order to save time, Lu Ning asked Chen Hu to send someone to Youzhou City and tell the Youzhou Prefect to send the heads of merchant families in Youzhou to wait there.
He himself took the people, led by Chen Hu, to the Yinsha Gate.
The Yinsha Gate is located in a place with a strong Yinsha aura.
Surrounded by mountains, the middle is like a tomb.
The main hall of Yinshamen is built on the small mountain peak that looks like a tomb. There are also large and small caves and some buildings on the surrounding mountains.
Whether it is a cave or a building, they all exude a faint evil force.
On an August day, you can feel the biting coldness if you get closer.
Lu Ning led the people outside the mountains of Yinshamen, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "This Yinshamen knows how to choose its location. Everything in the world is divided into yin and yang. From the perspective of Feng Shui, this is an extremely yin place.
."
"Living in a place like this all year round can also cultivate talents, but what you cultivate is an extremely yin body."
Gu Wushuang said on the side: "This is a natural extremely yin formation. The surrounding mountains are constantly gathering the power of yin evil, providing energy for the practice of yin evil sect."
Lu Ning nodded: "Not bad."
Although the power of Yin evil in Yin evil gate cannot be compared with that of Tianlao, it is endless.
He immediately led the people towards the mountains.
Not far away, Lu Ning saw a woman dressed in black. She was dressed in a smart outfit. She held up her hands with the disciples of the Yinsha Sect and said, "Liu Xiaoxuan of the Jiyin Sect, please bring your disciples to see Mr. Lu."
Lu Ning sat on the horse and his eyes fell on Liu Xiaoxuan. The third-level cultivation aura made him a little surprised.
"When did your Yin Sha Sect change to Ji Yin Sect?"
Liu Xiaoxuan was also looking at Lu Ning. When she heard this, she smiled and said: "Master Lu, Yinsha Sect is what outsiders call our sect. In fact, we have all been Jiyin Sect for a long time."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly and he looked at Chen Hu aside. Chen Hu nodded and whispered: "It was indeed called Yin Sha Sect a thousand years ago, but later it was changed to Ji Yin Sect, but people have not changed their name."
Hearing this, Lu Ning didn't say anything. He glanced at Liu Xiaoxuan and only brought Lin Jian, Chen Hu, Pei Tianbei, Gu Wushuang and others into Jiyin Sect.
Liu Xiaoxuan led the way and soon arrived at the main hall of Jiyin Sect, called Jiyin Hall.
Lu Ning stood in front of the main hall, his spiritual consciousness shrouded in the air. The location chosen by the Jiyin Palace was like the Yin fish eye of the Yin Yang fish, which could absorb the Yin evil atmosphere of dozens of kilometers in radius.
"The old and rotten Jiyin Sect leader Liu Shan has met Mr. Lu!"
At this moment, an old man with white hair and white beard, wearing a dark green robe, slowly walked out of the hall and bowed to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning glanced at Liu Shan. He was at the third level of perfection, and there was a strong force of evil in Qihai Dantian.
Entering the main hall, Liu Shan asked Liu Xiaoxuan to serve Lu Ning tea in person.
After Lu Ning took a sip, he raised his eyebrows and stared at Liu Shandao: "You, Yue Wuliang, a disciple of the Jiyin Sect, support King Anshan's rebellion. I don't need to say anything more."
Hearing this, Liu Shan took a deep breath and said, "Yue Wuliang is a disciple of Laowan. He was blind and accepted the disciple by mistake. But Laowan has announced to the public that Yue Wuliang is no longer a disciple of Jiyin Sect."
"I hope Master Lu can give me Jiyin Sect a chance."
Lu Ning's cold eyes flashed slightly: "Yue Wuliang, you taught me, then your Jiyin Sect is responsible for catching him."
Hearing this, Liu Shan nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed and he said: "I have heard that your Jiyin Sect is attached to the Nether Palace and is secretly committing murders."
Liu Shan turned pale when he heard this and said: "Master Lu, our Jiyin Sect left the Nether Palace a thousand years ago and embarked on the right path. You must also be able to see that our Jiyin Sect's cultivation relies entirely on this natural terrain.
There is no need to do evil things."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly, "There is no best. If the Demon Suppressor finds out that your Jiyin Sect is attached to the Nether Palace and harms people, I will destroy your Jiyin Sect."
Liu Shan nodded repeatedly: "Master Lu, don't worry, our Jiyin Sect will never go down the wrong path again. As for the Netherworld Palace, our Jiyin Sect is not afraid of him even if it has the imperial court on its back."
Lu Ning glanced at Liu Shan and saw that this old man knew how to talk.
"Pay tribute to the imperial court for five years."
"Everything will be subject to Mr. Lu's arrangements."
Lu Ning thought for a while and said: "Take care of your Jiyin Sect disciples and don't go around ruining the reputation of your Jiyin Sect."
Liu Shan nodded: "Don't worry, Master Lu. If someone like Yue Wuliang appears in the Jiyin Sect again, we don't need Master Lu to come here personally. I will personally arrest him and send him to the Demon Suppressing Division."
Hearing this, Lu Ning didn't say anything else.
It is normal for a sect to have silverfish in it. You cannot beat a sect to death just because of one or two villains.
Before leaving, Lu Ning took another look at Liu Xiaoxuan.
Ordinarily, the Jiyin Sect is not a first-class medium-sized sect, but it can actually cultivate a genius like Liu Xiaoxuan.
Liu Xiaoxuan should be around twenty-one or twelve years old. She is in the early stage of the third level. Compared with Lin Jian, Ji Feiyu, Gu Wushuang, Pei Tianbei, the Empress and others, her talent is considered superior.
Of course, it may have something to do with the geographical location of Jiyin Sect.
It was already evening when we left Jiyin Sect.
Chen Hu asked: "Sir, are you going to Huangquan Gate now?"
Lu Ning nodded. He had enough rest on the boat last night. He didn't need any rest tonight and went straight to the Underworld Gate.
Huangquanmen is located in the northeast of Youzhou, in a place called Huangquan Town.
The sect of Huangquan Sect is on the surface. It is the same as the Pogun Sect in Huifeng Town. The Huangquan Sect was established in the center of Huangquan Town.
Huangquanmen is named after a Huangquan well in the sect. The well is full of water during the day, but the water disappears at night, and various chaotic sounds can be heard coming from the well.
Some brave people went down the well to check at night and found a group of minotaurs forming a market around a river.
What flows in that river is not the water of the human world, but the water of the underworld. If a living person drinks the water, it will be cold and biting, just like a dead person, with no life in his body.
"Drinking yellow spring water makes you lifeless?" Lu Ning raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, sir, I have already inquired clearly. The Huangquan water is indeed strange. After drinking it, the yang energy in a person's body disappears and becomes lifeless. Therefore, he will not be targeted in the Huangquan market." Chen Hu nodded and said.
Hearing this, Lu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. Monk Yuanding, isn't he just lifeless?
Of course, Monk Yuanding is dead.
There is something magical about the Huangquan Well in Huangquan Town.
"The Huangquan Gate must be inseparable from the Huangquan Market under the Huangquan Well, right?" Lu Ning asked.
Chen Hu nodded and said: "It does have something to do with it, but the Huangquan Sect Master didn't say anything. As for the Huangquan Market underground, I forgive my incompetence. I went in once, but found nothing."
Lu Ning didn't ask any more questions. When he arrived at Huangquan Town, it was Zishi.
There is no one in Huangquan Town for a long time.
Then Chen Hu took Lu Ning and others straight to Huangquan Gate.
Huangquan Gate is located in the middle of the town and is not difficult to find.
"Yellow Spring Gate!"
Lu Ning and others were standing outside the Huangquan Gate, and only two disciples in yellow were seen guarding the door.
Seeing that it was someone from the Suppressing Demon Division, one person immediately went to the door to report, while the other person stepped forward and said, "I don't know, gentlemen from the Suppressing Demon Division, what is going on at the Huangquan Gate at this time?"
Lu Ning sat on the black horse, staring at the Huangquan disciple. The latter was normal, which meant that the disciple was a normal person.
"Where is the Master of Huangquan Sect?" Lu Ning asked with a frown.
