To the east of Xinshan County is beyond the boundary of Kunning County, and beyond that is Luoyang County.
Kunning County and Luoyang County are far apart. It would take an ordinary person three hours to cross in a straight line. This is the shortest time in theory, but in fact, considering the winding road, passing through mountains and forests, and other terrain effects, the time is
It has to be more than doubled. Therefore, ordinary people will basically not leave the county, and even rarely leave the county.
In such a world, only warriors have the ability to travel far.
The thunder roared, the thunder light snaked around the sky and the earth like a dragon, and the night rain poured down. Lin Xiao used his body skills to shuttle through the rain curtain, and flew towards a point of light in the distance.
That is an ancient temple.
Inside the ancient temple, there was a bonfire burning. The firelight leaked through the already broken door, and was caught by Lin Xiao with his sharp eyes. Lin Xiao's movement was quick, and he broke through the heavy rain curtain. He rushed forward to reach the ancient temple, pushing aside the broken door.
As soon as he stepped into the ancient temple through a slightly concealed door, he was immediately greeted by several extremely sharp eyes, as if they were piercing through Lin Xiao. That feeling was magnified several times under Lin Xiao's astonishing perception.
, becomes increasingly clear.
A large number of bonfires were burning in the temple to dispel the coldness of the night. The most important thing was to bake off the moisture from everyone's robes. Lin Xiao glanced over and immediately understood that there were three groups of people sitting separately.
In three directions of the bonfire, these three groups of people: an old man and a young man sitting together, a pair of young men and women with swords sitting together, a strong man with a bald head but a stubble on his face, and a pair of copper melon petals sitting on the left and right sides.
Hammer, Lin Xiao couldn't help but take a second look.
Warriors who use copper hammers as weapons are really rare, even rarer than warriors who use axes as weapons.
Sensing Lin Xiao's appraisal, the strong man immediately grinned at Lin Xiao: "Is this your first time seeing such a weapon?"
"First time." Lin Xiao responded with a smile.
"I see that little brother is wearing two swords and a robe, which is rare." The strong man laughed.
The pair of young men and women wearing swords were well-dressed, especially their arms were tightly tied, so when they looked at Lin Xiao's broad sleeves, they were startled at first, and then a flash of disdain flashed in their eyes.
Anyone who practices swordsman knows that the sword must be used cleanly and neatly. Regardless of the level of swordsmanship, one must first control oneself and create favorable conditions for oneself, such as streamlining oneself, especially when using the sword on the arms and the clothing on the arms.
Of course, it must be restrained well to avoid unnecessary impact on the sword. In addition, there will be no tassels on the sword. Although it will look better, it is actually a burden.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are some special swordsmanships that are in demand, but in most cases, anyone who has a sword spike or wears a large robe with sleeves and wears a sword, often pursues superficial skills, and may not be able to practice so much.
There are several tricks, but they are all used to show off.
There is a group of people in the world who teach some flashy martial arts so that people can show off in front of their friends and relatives.
The old man looked at Lin Xiao carefully for a few times and then looked away. He looked very ordinary and couldn't see anything at all.
"It's raining heavily outside, and I have nowhere to go, so I'm sorry to bother you." Lin Xiao's eyes slowly swept over, and then he bowed with a smile.
"It's okay. When you go out, you will always encounter this and that. Besides, this ruined temple is not ours." The strong man laughed and said. The young man and woman seemed a little unhappy, but they didn't say anything. Is there a ruined temple in the mountains? No.
It belongs to anyone, if I really want to say it, it belongs to the dynasty.
"Thank you." Lin Xiao responded with a smile, walked aside and started to warm himself by the fire. Fortunately, the baggage was waterproof, otherwise everything inside would have gotten wet.
After putting away the baggage, Lin Xiao looked at a broken statue of a god that had fallen to the ground. It was probably chopped up and used as firewood. It was in dilapidated condition. If he tried again a few times, it might be completely burned.
Worshiping gods is a custom, but is there really a god in this world?
It must not be possible, otherwise every household would worship God every year to pray for peace, money, and a future, but I never heard of any response.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao thought of the phantom in white he met in Kunning County.
"Since ghosts exist, don't gods also exist?" Lin Xiao's thoughts spread, and he immediately overturned this idea: "Master Jing Ming has already said about the generation of ghosts, and as for gods, they can't be man-made.
"
Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile, artificial god?
It sounds awesome and ridiculous.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Xiao no longer looked at the dilapidated statue.
"It's just a statue from a wild temple in the mountains. I don't know what era it is from." The big man seemed to be a familiar person. He noticed Lin Xiao's gaze and smiled casually.
Lin Xiao nodded, and immediately took off the wine gourd hanging from his waist. This wine gourd was bought when he was wandering around in Xinshan County for three days when he lived in Xinshan County. It can hold about a kilogram of wine, because Lin Xiao was determined to practice.
Practice your drinking ability. After returning from this trip, I will drink the master's nephew. The next time I meet Xiao Tianyu's sister Xiao Tianlan, I won't drink three bowls.
After opening the cork, there was a soft popping sound, and Lin Xiao immediately took a sip, enjoying himself.
Not to mention, wine is not very good when you drink it for the first time. Especially if you get drunk for the first time, you will probably have a psychological shadow for a long time. I don’t understand how difficult it is to drink and drink again.
What's so good about something that can be very uncomfortable?
But if you drink it a few times, you will slowly fall in love with the taste.
Smelling the aroma of wine, the big man's nose twitched, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and made a gurgling sound.
"Do you want to drink?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask when he heard the voice.
"Thank you." The strong man stretched out his hand to take the wine gourd, but missed it.
"First of all, you have to have something to hold the wine." Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't touch the gourd's mouth." The strong man said quickly. In this case, Lin Xiao handed the wine gourd to the other party. Otherwise, if he had just drank and the other party continued to drink, well, I can't imagine that scene.
.
If the other party is a charming and beautiful woman, it is still acceptable. If the other party is a rough guy, forget it.
The strong man raised the wine gourd, and the gourd's mouth fell a few inches away from his mouth, and the wine flowed into his mouth.
"Thank you." He reluctantly returned the wine gourd to Lin Xiao.
As we drank more wine, we talked more, as if the relationship between them had been drawn closer.
"Little brother, thank you for the wine. If we meet again next time, I will treat you to a big drink." The strong man said with a smile.
"That's good." Lin Xiao said with a smile, not polite.
"Nao Nao, if you want to talk, get out and say enough." The man sitting next to the old man frowned and said coldly, his eyes scanning Lin Xiao and the strong man with disgust.
"My words are disturbing you. If you want to be quiet, go outside. You think this is your home and I am your father. I have to spoil you." Before Lin Xiao said anything, the strong man started to spray.
"You!" The young man stood up suddenly and glared at the strong man.
"Stranger, beware of misfortune coming from your mouth." The old man's gaze swept across the sky, as if cold lightning had penetrated the fire, and landed directly on the strong man's face, his tone was gloomy and threatening.
"Old guy, I should be the one to tell you this." The strong man held the handle of the hammer with both hands, a fierce aura suddenly filled the area, his eyes glared, and he collided with the old man's gaze.
The swords were tense, as if the next breath would lead to a big fight.
Lin Xiao immediately felt the aura of the old man and the strong man. They were both true warriors, and they were probably not entry-level true warriors.
"Forget it." The young man suddenly spoke, and the old man also looked away. The strong man grunted twice and then relaxed his hands, then looked at Lin Xiao: "Some people will go further if you are polite to them.
.”
Lin Xiao laughed dumbly.
Life is full of different situations, and all kinds of people have them. There is nothing surprising about it. Of course, that is what I say, but when I actually encounter it, the feeling is still different. There is always an obvious difference between hearsay and personal witnessing and personal experience.
difference.
The sky is getting brighter and the heavy rain has already stopped.
"Little brother, the mountain road is muddy and difficult to walk on. Why don't you stay one more day before walking." The strong man reminded him kindly, holding a copper hammer.
"Thank you." Lin Xiao did not agree or refuse, but responded politely.
"Haha, let's go. I'll see you next time and I'll treat you to a drink." The strong man laughed and strode away with the copper hammer. As for the old man, the young man and the pair of men and women with swords, they had already left first.
Before leaving, the young man stared at Lin Xiao coldly.
The strong man reminded Xiong Zhuang, carrying a pair of heavy copper hammers, but his speed was not slow at all, and he quickly disappeared.
Lin Xiao retracted his gaze and took a step forward. His steps were like walking on water. There seemed to be layers of ripples spreading under his feet. It was Tianhe stepping on water, entering the realm of transformation. With Lin Xiao's cultivation as a true warrior, he could perform it with great ease.
, the muddy mountain road has no obstacles at all.
Upgrading to the third level of Tianhe Lian Jiuxiao and three Tianhe Lianqi Pills not only consolidated Lin Xiao's entry-level cultivation as a true warrior, but also promoted him to the realm of minor success.
It's a pity that Tianhe only has three Qi Training Pills. If he gets a few more, he might be able to break through to the level of a true warrior.
It can be seen how important training resources are, but similarly, training resources are also very scarce, such as Tianhe Qi Training Pill, a top-level Qi training pill, which is very rare.
It's a pity that the cheap master is not very reliable and just ran away. I don't know where he went now.
After shaking the gourd, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel speechless. The one-pound bottle was still too little and he finished it in a few gulps, but the two- or three-pound gourd was too big to carry.
It's really distressing.
Is there any wine utensil that is the size of a palm but can hold many kilograms of wine? It would be best to gourd-shaped.
…
A burly man with a bald head and a stubble carried a pair of copper hammers and walked quickly in the mountains. His strong feet would splash muddy water when he stepped on the ground, making his trouser legs wet and covered with mud, but he didn't do it at all.
He didn't care, but rushed up to a high hill and looked up, muttering: "Where is Baigouzhai? I, Qiu, am here to do justice for heaven."
As he said that, he gently threw up the copper hammer in his hand, spinning it in mid-air and falling to the ground. The handle of the hammer pointed in one direction. When he lifted the hammer, the strong man ran towards the direction where the handle of the hammer was pointing without hesitation.
