When Liu Shuzhu regained consciousness, he found that there was a blanket under him and he was still in the Gobi desert.
Not far away, more than twenty camels were gathered in a circle. They were covered in downy feathers and had three peaks standing on their backs. They surrounded a large amount of tightly wrapped goods in the center. Several men in strange clothes were tying the reins of the camels.
Connected together. On the high hill next to it, there are several people patrolling and guarding.
The night sky is quiet and it is already ten o'clock in the evening.
A bonfire was lit in the lee of a fan-shaped rock.
There were several dead tree branches lying on the ground, and a group of people were sitting around the fire. Among them, the most eye-catching one was a girl in colorful clothes. Her face was pure and beautiful, her skin was delicate, her bun and the accessories around her neck contrasted with the
The firelight shines from time to time, like a blinking star.
Further away, a fire was scattered, and a group of strong men were chatting there. A rough estimate showed that there were quite a few people, about forty people!
"Xiaoye Jiren has his own destiny. It seems that he met this passing team in a coma and was finally rescued!"
Liu Shuzhu was happy in his heart, but he did not stand up rashly. Instead, he kept his original posture, pretending to be still awake, and listened to the conversation with his ears. It was not that he was ungrateful, it was entirely out of self-preservation in a strange environment.
instinct.
He secretly touched the Black Water Token pinned to his waistband and the Buddhist bead wrapped in the handkerchief. They were both still on him, and he felt relieved.
"Xue'er, Pit No. 7 has been dug more than a thousand meters deep. There are too many impurities in the crystal sand in the tunnel, and the mineral deposit seems to be bottoming out. If we continue digging like this, it will consume too much manpower and material resources, and the gains will not be worth the losses. Look at this trip
After we go back, should we open another mine from the reserved mine mouth and transfer all the people here to the new mine?"
A middle-aged man with a turban on his head and a hooked nose said to the girl next to him. He was the Uncle Fei, Fei Shan, whom the girl called him.
"I'll seal Pit No. 7 for now and wait until I have free time to see if there is any possibility of widening it to both sides. In this way, we will save costs and save the brothers below from suffering. What do you think?
?”
Xue'er nodded and said, "Uncle Fei doesn't need to discuss these matters with me. You are rich in experience. When dad was alive, I would just follow you and do whatever you want."
There was some pity in her eyes, "Those miners are also hard-working people. Let's pay them more wages according to their age. There are enough crystal coins in the account. If you are willing to receive crystal sand directly, we can give them more according to the exchange ratio."
A few won’t hurt.”
"Well, when we get to Xifeng City, I will discuss it with the young master. If he has no objection, I will send someone back immediately and send Xin'er back first." Fei Shan did not shirk, and discussed and exchanged ideas with the girl again.
The girl is very thoughtful and explains many issues about the color of the crystal sand and the distribution of the mines in clear and clear terms.
A person cannot be judged by her appearance. It is hard to tell from her pretty face that she is actually a good housekeeper.
"Crystal coins, crystal sand, mining?"
Crystal coins and crystal sand sound like money and the materials used to make money, but they are similar to silver and silver mines.
The amount of information Liu Shuzhu received was huge, and these things were all things he had never been exposed to before. A person is raised in a country where the soil and water are there, and although some things are novel, they are not difficult to understand.
The young girl's family looks like a rich man from the mines. But she doesn't know how much this 'crystal coin' is worth.
After eavesdropping for a while, he began to drum in his mind: "These people don't think that I am a homeless coolie, pick him up and repair him, and prepare to drag him to the mine to open the mine, right?"
While he was thinking about it, the girl pretended to glance in his direction casually, and Liu Shuzhu quickly closed his eyes.
But Fei Shan snorted coldly: "I think this kid is probably dead, so I'll ask two people to dig a hole and bury him to avoid being an eyesore."
Liu Shuzhu was horrified when he heard this. He couldn't pretend anymore and jumped up in a hurry and shouted: "You're not dead, don't bury it in a hurry!" Judging from the teasing tone in the other person's tone, he must have noticed that he was awake.
Liu Shuzhu stood up with a disgusting evil smile on his face, patted the dust off his body, and walked towards the bonfire. Seeing that no one was stopping him, he sat down beside a few people without looking outside.
"Miss Xueer, right?"
He bowed slightly to the girl and expressed his gratitude. His attitude was calm and composed, but he looked a little shameless: "Didn't anyone tell you before that you look like the fairy daughter in heaven?"
The girl's face turned red, while Fei Shan's eyes were cold and he was about to have a seizure, but Liu Shuzhu didn't let him speak at all and just flattered him.
His mouth was full of sentences like "Doing one good deed every day will bring you blessings, and doing two good deeds every day will bring you good results. We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, so why should we have known each other before?", and his face was full of nondescript gratitude, elegance and wretched expressions.
Perfectly blended together.
Xue'er and Fei Shan looked at each other in shock, wondering where Liu Shuzhu was coming from. They casually saved a child in distress halfway, but they didn't expect him to be so glib.
After he said it, even the big men around him felt that they had unintentionally achieved great merit!
Fei Shan's expression was cold and completely unmoved. He interrupted him and said, "Boy, please stop talking nonsense. Let me ask you, are you a sand pirate?"
"Sand pirate?" Liu Shuzhu was stunned and quickly denied it, "What is a sand pirate?"
Fei Shan's eyes flashed, and he stared at Liu Shuzhu's eyes, as if he wanted to see something.
Liu Shuzhu's heart skipped a beat. The other person's eyes were sharp, exactly the same as Xiao Fuyi's when he was angry. The temperament he revealed could prove that the other person was a strong person without grain!
Xueer explained: "Sand bandits are bandits in this desert. They specialize in robbing caravans. They roam everywhere in the desert. They kill people and steal goods, and their methods are extremely cruel. The crimes they commit are very serious. If you
Those who are with them..."
In a flash, Liu Shuzhu understood what the girl meant. Before she could finish speaking, he pointed at the tip of his nose and said aggrievedly: "Young master, I'm like this, how can I be a sand pirate?"
What he said is entirely true. He is indeed not a so-called sand bandit, he is a mountain bandit!
The two of them didn't take it too seriously, just to be on the safe side and asked casually. The Sand Pirates had many methods, and they had never done anything like arranging internal agents in the merchant team. However, Liu Shuzhu's cultivation level was too low, and they felt that
Unlikely.
"If you are not a Sand Pirate, then why did you appear alone near the Quicksand Jedi? Your cultivation level is only the acquired realm. What are you doing here in the season when the wind blows? Isn't it better to just stay in Xifeng City?"
Xueer asked a lot of questions one after another. Although most of them were out of curiosity, Liu Shuzhu was confused.
Liu Shuzhu said dumbly: "Xifeng City?"
After this huge accident, his expression was still immersed in the world of misty rain city, drunkenness and luxury, and it was difficult for him to adapt to the fact that he was in the desert.
Seeing his expression, Xue Ermei's eyes widened: "This piece of quicksand stretches for hundreds of miles. It is next to the West Wind City and several other small oases, but they are all separated by some distance.
, you are not from West Wind City, then where are you from?"
Liu Shuzhu didn't think about how to answer. Looking at the clothes of the girl and others, he also felt fresh. He quickly changed the topic and asked in surprise: "What is the acquired state again?"
"You don't even know this?" The expression on the girl's face became even more exciting, "No wonder your cultivation level is low."
"What's wrong?" Liu Shuzhu was very dissatisfied, "Young master, I am only thirteen years old this year. I am already a good person to be promoted to a junior martial artist. What does it mean to have a low level of cultivation..."
"puff!"
Xue'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, like the light knocking of bells, which was very pleasant. Several big men around her also laughed in unison. Liu Shuzhu was particularly annoyed, but he didn't know why they were laughing.
Xue'er suppressed her smile, and then she showed the innocence that a girl should have, and said to him: "You are such an interesting kid. Where did you come from? Have you never heard of the martial arts realm?"
What Liu Shuzhu dislikes most is that others regard him as a child, especially when someone of the same age pretends to be an adult in front of him. He glanced at the girl's chest with a strange expression and thought to himself: Your 'weapon' is really not small!
He didn't take it seriously and said: "Everyone knows the realm of martial arts, how could I not know it!"
Everyone seemed to be in disbelief, and Liu Shuzhu angrily said: "There are differences in the strength of warriors, but based on their strength, they can be roughly divided into different levels. Anyone who can lift a hundred kilograms is a junior warrior, and if he can lift three hundred kilograms...
When the strength reaches an astonishing five hundred kilograms, it is quite powerful, and can be regarded as a high-level first-class in the world. After that, it is the Bigu stage that is difficult for ordinary people to aspire to!"
"But if you think this is the limit of human power, you are totally wrong!" Liu Shuzhu explained eloquently, "Above Bigu, there are even great masters of martial arts and the most brilliant warrior emperor in the world!"
Thinking of the great monk and the old woman's unparalleled magical powers, he still couldn't calm down for a long time. After saying this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue'er proudly. What he meant was: You don't even know the realm of martial arts, but you still have the nerve to laugh at me.
.
But everyone seemed to have finally let him finish his words. They looked at each other and couldn't hold it in any longer. They laughed loudly again. Even Fei Shan, who always had a stern face, laughed unexpectedly, and the others even followed him.
His molars were almost exposed!
Xueer was panting heavily and couldn't catch her breath. Her graceful curves were extremely graceful, and Liu Shuzhu was feasting his eyes on her.
"You, where did you come from? Why don't you even know the realm of martial arts, and you still insist on dividing the acquired realm into three, six or nine levels according to strength?"
Fei Shan quickly regained his composure and waved to Xue'er: "But what this guy said is quite interesting. There are several small bottlenecks in the acquired realm, and the true energy in the body needs to be accumulated several times before it can break through. Divided by energy, although it is not
Accurate, but not too close.”
A big man laughed so hard that he almost convulsed, "Tell me again, is that great martial arts master in the realm of a bird?"
"Laugh, laugh me to death. You've already supported me!" Liu Shuzhu cursed in a mosquito voice, and then replied: "If you are stronger than Bigu and weaker than the Warrior Emperor, you can be called a martial arts grandmaster. That is a very desirable person.
A realm where you can go up in the sky and walk alone for a hundred steps..."
Sure enough, another burst of laughter interrupted him.
Xueer felt as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, and was in a good mood. She developed a good impression of Liu Shuzhu's solemn "funny".
"The great master of martial arts you mentioned can control the air for a short time, but cannot control it for a long time. He should be a strong man in the first level of the innate realm. Where did you hear about the realm of martial arts?"
"The innate realm, the first level of heaven?"
Hearing that her tone didn't sound like a joke, Liu Shuzhu's heart suddenly moved and he came back to his senses.
Thinking of what Xiao Fuyi said to him, the outside world is vast and colorful, and he is just a little bandit in the mountains. Perhaps it is not that others are shallow, but that he himself is sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
The world is so vast, and powerful people with amazing talents should be spread all over Zhongzhou. Isn't the great monk I met earlier a vivid example?
Thinking of this, he calmed down. After everyone laughed and laughed, he asked: "Then tell me, what is this martial arts realm all about?"
"There's no rush for this." Xue'er waved to someone not far away, and immediately a man came over, holding a pineapple-shaped fruit in his hand, and handed it to her.
The peel was dull and rough, and when I tapped the shell lightly with my pink fist, the fruit split into two halves, revealing the red flesh inside.
"I'm just talking. I guess you're already hungry. Even though you've spent some energy, you still need to eat something. Eat first. I'll tell you about the martial arts realm slowly."
After seeing the food, Liu Shuzhu's stomach suddenly rang with a muffled thunder, and he was already a little weak from hunger. Xueer handed the fruit to him with a smile, and Liu Shuzhu didn't shy away, took it without saying a word, and gnawed hard.
I don't know if it was because he was extremely hungry, but he felt that the pulp was extremely sweet and melted in his mouth. It was not much worse than the top-grade Lingcui he had eaten before.
Xue'er was extremely kind-hearted. Liu Shuzhu didn't say anything, but he felt a little grateful in his heart. Seeing him eating in a wolfish state, Xue'er smiled and said to him: "Eat slowly, there will be more after eating."
Then Fei Shan snorted and said to Liu Shuzhu: "This is a great kindness. Don't be ungrateful, kid."
Liu Shuzhu has a clear distinction between love and hatred in his heart. He doesn't need others to say it, and he will never forget his roots.
He was eating vigorously and had no time to talk to Fei Shan. Taking advantage of this gap, Xueer also talked to him about the divisions of martial arts realms. The first sentence he said almost made Liu Shuzhu choke.
"It should be almost 100,000 years since the Shengwu Era began. The division of martial arts realms should have been continued for 100,000 years."
"This is an era when warriors dominate the world. Generally speaking, warriors can be divided into several major realms: acquired realm, innate realm, true martial realm, and the legendary immortal realm!"
Hearing this, Liu Shuzhu stopped his movements and stared at Xueer blankly, completely shocked by the other party's words.
However, Xue'er looked at the deep night sky, with vast stars shining in her eyes, full of yearning and longing.
"The acquired realm refers to those warriors who have not cut off their hair and cleansed their marrow. Generally, the bigu stage is used as the bottom line. If it is weaker, it will not be carefully divided. Strictly speaking, those below the bigu stage are not even the acquired realm.
.
The innate realm is the name given to a warrior who has undergone transformation after cutting off his hair and cleansing his marrow.
Innateness is divided into nine levels. For the warrior himself, each level is a rebirth from the ashes. The gap in cultivation between each level is also very huge and cannot be calculated.
Warriors who have advanced to the Xiantian realm already have corresponding warrior characteristics. Strong warriors of the first level of Xiantian mainly focus on rebirth, condensing the physical body, and completely transforming the Houtian Qi in the body to achieve Xiantian.
Oh, by the way, the innate warrior of the first level is the martial arts master you call him."
Speaking of this, Xueer covered her mouth and snickered.
"The second heaven, once again undergoes the baptism of true energy, and removes all impurities from the innate true energy, in order to reach an extremely pure level, and then only absorbs the purest energy between heaven and earth, refines it and uses it for one's own use.
At that time, the warrior reached the mysterious level of the unity of heaven and man, could communicate with the outside world, and resonated with each other, thus possessing the ability to fly in the air for a long time!
Warriors in the third heaven are even more magical and can initially develop treasures in their bodies. Subsequently, they can use their bodies as vessels and have certain abilities to absorb sharp edges and hide sharp edges.
Above the third heaven, there will be a big watershed. It will take unimaginable energy to continue to advance. Once you break through to the fourth heaven..."
After listening, Liu Shuzhu stood up slowly, suddenly as if he was crazy, he didn't even bother to wipe the fruit seeds on his face, interrupted her rudely, and said to everyone blankly: "Grandma, you are a bastard, you, you
