Chapter 258 Love is separated by mountains and seas
Chapter 258: Love across mountains and seas
(Not revised yet, can read again tomorrow!)
As soon as the young man finished speaking, the man who attacked him suddenly collapsed, and blood flowed out of his seven orifices like he was free of money, instantly soaking the ground of this side hall.
But what was even more strange was that the blood seeped into the floor, and soon there was only a withered body left in the side hall.
"This, this is..." Dalamt found that his body could move again, but the scene in front of him was far beyond his imagination. It was like seeing various legends passed down by the tribe. The god of the desert came to punish him,
Kill those rebels instantly and drain their blood essence.
He once thought that this kind of legend was just a fiction of the ancestors. Later, after learning the Demon Sect's skills, he realized that it is normal for many things to be beyond people's understanding. Until today, when he witnessed this powerful Demon Sect take action,
Only then did he dare to confirm that the natural disasters described by the ancestors of the horse thieves might have something to do with the Demon Cult.
Except for Dalamte, who stood dumbly on the spot, the rest of the horse thieves did not have such a good consciousness. When they saw the legendary "divine punishment" reappearing, they immediately knelt on the ground.
Horse thieves are savage and fearless, accompanied by superstition and ignorance. To deal with this group of horse thieves who only know how to kill, it is more effective to use intimidation and persuasion instead of preaching and persuasion.
This mysterious young man from the Demon Cult obviously knew this, so he just used his "characteristics" to temporarily block the surrounding space. Although it was only for a short moment, the effect he created was excellent.
Compared with directly killing the horse thief, giving the opponent a knife, and then killing him in this way is more intimidating.
Bachiman buried his head and knelt on the ground. He knew that he was no match for this person, but he never expected that the other person was so strong. Moreover, what the young man said just now shocked him to the core.
He and Daramt had been practicing magic for many years, and he thought that his cultivation was pretty good, and he even entered the state of breaking into a house. But today, listening to what the other party said, he actually went astray.
It's right to say that magic skills have extremely high requirements on the warrior's physical body. The most direct requirement is to be able to withstand the backlash of those "devil energy". At first, Bachiman thought that these red and black "devil energy" were an attack on the warrior's mind.
After all, there have been many people who practiced demonic arts, and their character has changed drastically in the end.
Dalamt's performance was more obvious. His stern eyes and increasingly violent temperament were the most direct impact of demonic energy on people. Now it seems that the most direct impact of these demonic energy is on their physical bodies.
"Senior, the Eight Red Barbarian Horse Thief is willing to follow your guidance!" the bald man roared in a low voice.
The young man grinned and murmured: "I don't want to be the devil you talk about. As long as I do things well, I won't treat you two badly."
As he spoke, he glanced at Dalamette, who was standing aside blankly. It was this glance that made the already lost young man collapse to the ground.
"Bachiman, I wish... I wish to take the name of my senior!" the bald man stuttered.
The young man slowly stood up from his seat, looked at the horse thieves kneeling on the ground, and said with some humor: "Name? Haha, you can call me, Qianyuan!"
…………Dividing line…………
The land of the Western Region, Loulan City.
Xiao Yuanfeng looked at Qi Chengcheng, who was sitting on his right, and Wu Li, who was holding fruits for him at the side. He knew the temperament of his niece, and it was because of this young shopkeeper Qi that he followed him to Xiaoyuan Academy.
One sentence.
Sure enough, girls are outgoing, but judging from his many years of love experience, the boss of the Qi family should not have that kind of intention. Hey, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If Wu Li can find a good home in the end, it will be a good thing.
"City Master Xiao, let me toast you!" Qi Chengcheng naturally didn't expect that City Master Xiao was actually planning on his own. He picked up the wine glass on the table and gave him a distant salute.
Xiao Yuanshan responded with a smile and a drink.
Sitting at the top of the left hand side of City Lord Xiao are naturally Lin Fenghuo and Lin Lei. As the foreign aid of Xiaoyuan Academy, they also played a key role in today's city defense battle, so it is understandable to sit at the top.
"Little friend Fenghuo, little friend Linlei, please!" Xiao Yuanfeng invited him to drink again.
After drinking for three rounds, everyone started chatting. In fact, most of the people talking were Qi Chengcheng and Lin Fenghuo. After all, they had not seen each other for many years and their parents had a close relationship, so naturally they had a lot to say.
"That guy Zhao Long is very perverted. He broke through to the realm of chivalry three years ago! Although he is still a lay disciple, he is already a disciple that Daming Temple focuses on cultivating." Qi Chengcheng is located in the Western Region and handles merchant trade.
There is more natural news.
The countries in the Western Region bordered the Ming Dynasty, so there was a lot of news coming back from there. Zhao Long's soul talent was extremely good, and coupled with the Buddhist body-training skills, it was naturally difficult for him not to stand out.
Speaking of this, Lin Fenghuo said with some confusion: "Buddhism will also focus on cultivating lay disciples? I heard that their advanced skills need to be cultivated with Buddhist methods. Wouldn't this be in vain?"
Hearing this question, Qi Chengcheng showed a smile, and his expression clearly said, "I've been waiting for you to ask that"!
"Buddhism does need the assistance of Buddhism to cultivate core disciples, but Zhao Long's situation is a bit special." Qi Chengcheng raised his eyebrows.
This sentence aroused Lin Fenghuo's interest, and he asked curiously: "What special situation?"
Qi Chengcheng took the grapes that Wu Li handed to his mouth and said with a smile: "The explanation given by Daming Temple is that he is in love!"
"Love disaster?!" Lin Fenghuo asked in shock. After thinking about it, he asked in shock: "He has a girl he likes?!"
"Yes, and you know me!" Qi Chengcheng replied with a smile.
Lin Lei on the side raised his eyebrows and grinned: "You're not talking about Li Xintian, are you?"
Seeing that it was him who answered, Qi Chengcheng rolled his eyes indifferently and muttered: "You are so smart, but a grown man is still such a gossip!"
"Xintian? Then Xifeng..." Lin Fenghuo has been very ignorant about men and women since he was a child. He can tell that Lin Xintian likes Yi Xifeng, and Yi Xifeng should also like Li Xintian. As for other emotional relationships, in
He really doesn't know much here.
Seeing the confused Lin Fenghuo, Lin Lei said with a smile: "This is not very good. If Li Xintian and Zhao Long really get married, Zhong Lingxi will probably be very happy too."
Although Lin Fenghuo didn't understand "love between men and women", he was not stupid. Hearing Lin Lei's words, he asked in shock: "What? You mean, Zhong Lingxi likes Yi Xifeng!"
Lin Lei and Qi Chengcheng looked at each other and covered their faces helplessly...
Seeing the reactions of the two people, Lin Fenghuo felt a little helpless and his face became a little hot, so he deliberately changed the subject and asked: "Zhao Long likes Li Xintian. I don't even know about this kind of thing. Why does Daming Temple know?"
Upon hearing this question, Qi Chengcheng immediately became energetic and said vividly:
"There is really a rumor. It should be that when he came out of the Hero Realm three years ago, the senior leaders of Daming Temple had the idea of accepting him as an inner disciple. But later, Zhao Long refused! You know,
This caused quite a stir in the world of Ming Dynasty!"
Lin Fenghuo and Lin Lei looked at each other and naturally understood the reason. Daming Temple is a Buddhist holy place, and its status in the world is no weaker than that of the Zhenwu Dao Palace. Its influence in the Daming Kingdom is even greater than that of the Zhenwu Dao Palace in the Zhenwu Kingdom.
big.
It was such a super sect that extended an olive branch and requested to be accepted as an "inner disciple" by name. Unsurprisingly, in a few years, the number of true disciples would not be available. Such a good opportunity would be great for any practicing martial artist.
It's an opportunity that's rare to come by, so how could anyone give it up?
However, Zhao Long did it!
"At that time, Master Xuanmin personally came to ask about Zhao Long! Zhao Long replied that the person he loved was a girl from his hometown. Master Xuanmin gave some advice and gave Buddhist mottos!" Qi Chengcheng said here, deliberately
There was a pause.
"What motto?" The person who asked was not Lin Lei or Lin Fenghuo, but Wu Li who had been listening for a long time.
Sure enough, women of all ages are particularly interested in this kind of story.
Qi Chengcheng restrained his laughter and said in a deep voice:
"My love is across mountains and seas."
This is a "motto" left by the previous generation of Buddha Canaan, and the meaning is very clear. The love between children is just a small love in the face of vicissitudes of life. Moreover, sometimes people's "obsession" can
It's just wishful thinking. If you stay here and cling to it, the other person has already stayed and flew with someone else.
Master Xuanmin, as a Buddhist eminent monk, naturally has his own tricks. The moment Zhao Long mentioned the daughter of his hometown, he knew clearly who this person was and her relationship with Zhao Long. This sentence was also a warning to Zhao Long.
, the girl he longs for day and night is probably already in love with her.
Seeing everyone's silence, Qi Chengcheng continued: "If that's all, it's not a big deal. On the contrary, it was Zhao Long's answer that made Daming Temple value Zhao Long even more."
"Oh? What did he say?" This time it was Lin Lei who asked.
“All mountains and seas can be leveled!”
Lin Lei frowned, a little disapproving in his heart, feeling that Zhao Long was somewhat ignorant of the high ground for contradicting the eminent Buddhist monk so directly.
Qi Chengcheng continued: "The mountains and the sea are level, but it's hard to be level!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Wu Li was a little crazy when he heard it, and murmured to himself: "My love is separated by mountains and seas, and mountains and seas can be leveled! Mountains and seas are level... It's hard to be calm..."
After saying this, Qi Chengcheng felt a little annoyed. He picked up a glass of wine without toasting anyone, and drank one directly.
…
Just when the wine shop fell into silence and Xiao Yuanfeng was looking for a chance to warm up the place, a soldier suddenly ran in.
"Report, the people sent are back!" The man dressed as a city guard knelt on the ground and reported quickly.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuanfeng immediately replied: "Let them come in."
When Qi Chengcheng heard that the people he sent out had returned, he stood up and went to the door of the hall to greet him, and soon a strong man followed him in.
"Uncle Wu, you are back!" Qi Chengcheng immediately stepped forward and handed over a glass of wine.
This old man was called Uncle Wu, and he was apparently an old pawn in Shenfeng Camp. He had been following Qi Chengcheng since Tiexin Village was incorporated into Yinren Town. Later, Qi Chengcheng left Yinren and moved to Qingchuan County.
, and then to the Western Regions, this group of veterans from the Shenfeng Camp followed him, and they were regarded as Qi Chengcheng’s absolute confidants.
"These birdmen are not very good at fighting, but their escape skills are absolutely superb!" He drank the contents of the cup in one gulp and said angrily.
But when he said this, he suddenly realized something, so he didn't complain too much. After all, when it came to escaping, the Shenfeng Battalion, which all practiced the "Quick Wind Exploding Element Technique", dared to be second, and no one dared to be first. It couldn't be done.
After scolding me for a long time, I finally scolded myself, right?
He told everyone about the battle in general.
This group of horse thieves should be one of the more famous horse thieves in the Western Regions. Because their leader is named "Ba Chi Man", this group of horse thieves also got their name. The bald man who led the attack at the North City Gate is from this generation.
Bachiman, as for his real name, it is difficult to find out.
After this group of people was defeated, they evacuated all the way east. As Qi Chengcheng said, they never expected that anyone would dare to pursue them in a sandstorm. In the end, Uncle Wu led his men to catch up with them under a huge rock.
, and launched a raid against them.
Horse thieves are accustomed to fighting in sandstorms, but if they are suddenly ambushed, their combat effectiveness will inevitably be damaged. Moreover, the horse thieves' fighting method is mainly close combat on horseback. After all, sandstorm weather is not suitable for mounted shooting.
The Shenfeng Battalion relied on the power of its weapons, and the Demon-Breaking Crossbow was not affected at all in the sandstorm, so it caused a one-sided massacre. However, because the number of Demon-Breaking Crossbows was limited, in addition to defeating several counterattacks from the opponent,
It didn't result in much gain.
In the end, the enemy broke through and escaped.
"Looking at the direction of their breakout, it should be towards the Black Castle in the east." Uncle Wu finally added.
…
Xiao Yuanshan sat at the top, listening to the other party's report, and his guess became more firm. The sudden attack of the horse thieves this time was indeed related to the Demon Sect.
"Black Castle? Is it really related to the Demon Sect?" Lin Lei said with a somewhat solemn expression.
Qi Chengcheng nodded. He had been in the Western Region for many years, so he naturally knew that the Black Castle was backed by the Demon Sect. He even heard that the "Thousand Machine Palace" also had the Demon Sect's shadow behind it. This was Qi Chengcheng.
The family business has spread its trade extensively over the years, but it only has few contacts with the big businessman "Qian Ji Dian".
He knew very well that his mission to develop in the Western Regions was, on the one hand, because of Chen Chuantuo, on the other hand, he also needed the support of the Holy War Hall, and most importantly, for Yinren Town.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Fenghuo opposite him. This dark-skinned boy who had grown up with him since childhood. Although five years later, he was no longer the dark-skinned little guy before, but he was so cordial when they met again.
The feeling made him feel that all these efforts were worth it.
Others naturally don't know the speculation in Qi Chengcheng's heart, but he is not the only one who has changed in five years. Many people have changed invisibly, not only Lin Fenghuo and Lin Lei in front of him, but also those far away.
Zhao Long of Daming Temple gradually began to show his prominence among everyone.
