Winter thunder bursts over the Five Elements Mountain.
Winter thunder is rare. Folks believe that thunder in winter is a sign of great misfortune. It is also called "thunder in winter", similar to "snow in June". There is even a saying that "thunder in winter causes piles of graves".
For the people in black stationed outside Five Elements Mountain, this is an ominous sign.
They were already resentful because they were stationed at Wuxing Mountain and could not go home to celebrate the New Year. Now that they saw such a bad omen, they could not help but feel uneasy.
There is no way. Compared with the frontier army, the fighting will of the Shenshu Imperial Army is like that of the flower garden Taoist priests compared to the wild Taoist priests. There is indeed a gap. It is just that the various equipment of the Shenshu Imperial Army, from firearms to armor to horses, are better than others.
The men in black and a sufficient number of high-ranking generals allowed Shenshu Camp to maintain its prestige.
Xing Nian is on duty tonight, carrying a gun on his back, a saber on his back, and patrolling on horseback. It is already cold in the north, not to mention at night, when it is like ice. The night wind is not cool, but biting, even if he is wearing a heavy coat
After sitting on the horse for a long time, the body will inevitably become stiff. At this time, I can only rely on my cultivation to resist.
Next to Xing Nian is an old man in black. He can't be said to be a veteran. He just has no connections and poor cultivation. He fails the annual assessment, so he has always been an ordinary forbidden soldier and has never been promoted.
Even the dirty work is his.
Fortunately, the salary of the Forbidden Army is high. Even ordinary Forbidden Army can only get six peace coins per month, and they have barracks and winter clothes. There are many people in black. As long as they don't have a family, they don't get cold or hungry, their life is relatively easy.
Of course, if you get married and have a wife and children, that's a different story. Let alone being free, there are countless bad things to worry about and endless troubles to recite. How else can you say that poor and humble couples are miserable? They can't be promoted.
Officer, you have to look at other people's faces in the military camp, and you have to look at your wife's face at home. Being criticized is incompetent. This is also a common problem of some women. It seems that all the misfortunes in life can be attributed to one reason - marrying the wrong person.
Got people.
Yes, marrying a man, marrying a man, dressing and eating. If you marry an emperor and become a concubine, where can you have these troublesome things?
It's a pity that I can't marry.
Be it the emperor or other powerful people, why would they marry the daughter of a commoner family?
If you are a good match, even if you are not a good match in family life, you still have to be a good match in your own ability. Take Qi Xuansu as an example, if he was still an innate person and a seventh-grade Taoist priest, he would be unable to do anything in the face of Zhang Yuelu, who was rising step by step, and the intersection would become more and more difficult.
The fewer two people there are, the estrangement of the relationship is almost certain, and it may not even change based on the will of the two people, unless Zhang Yuelu simply wants to keep a canary for fun.
But Qi Xuansu caught up with Zhang Yuelu. Although he was always beaten, the status of the two was roughly the same, so they had more and more intersections. With the constant intersections, their feelings also increased.
It will get deeper and deeper.
This is a very real problem. It is not impossible to change your destiny by marrying someone, but it is just as difficult as changing your destiny by getting the number one scholar.
Therefore, many young people have recently thought about it. They no longer get married or pass on the incest, and they will not be poor for more than three generations, so they might as well enjoy themselves in time, so let's leave it at that.
Xing Nian is such a young man. He took the old man next to him and joked: "Old Liu, you are so old and you don't have a mother-in-law, so naturally you have no children. What will you do when you get old? I'll wait for you.
If you can’t work anymore or even get out of bed, can you just wait for death? No one will know if it smells bad one day.”
Lao Liu said: "Aren't you the same?"
Xing Nian exclaimed: "Since ancient times, there has been only one reason for not getting a wife, and that is poverty. To say anything else is false. You may say that I am not good-looking, but women are not all fairies.
There are also some who are not good-looking. Why do those ugly people look down on me? It’s not because I am poor.”
Old Liu smiled and said: "Since you know you are poor, you should work hard while you are young."
Xing Nian raised his riding crop and pointed at Old Liu: "You are talking nonsense again. Can promotion be achieved by my hard work? Is it necessary to have peace money to clear the way? If I had two hundred peace money, the matchmaker would have already crossed the threshold of my house.
"
Lao Liu just smiled and did not refute.
In fact, military exploits are also possible, but they are not frontier troops. The imperial capital has been in peace for a long time and has not used weapons for decades, so how can they gain military exploits?
Furthermore, you have to work hard to gain military exploits. If you are not careful, you may become someone else's military exploits.
Xing Nian continued: "A person who lives for a hundred years is dead, and a person who lives for fifty years is also dead. In a few years, if there is still no improvement, I will find connections and transfer to the navy. Maybe I can make a fortune.
Come and make me your wife and your son."
Old Liu's left eye seemed to be covered with a layer of clouds, gray and dull, and it did not move. If you look closely, you will find that it is actually a prosthetic eye. He used his good right eye to glance at the young man next to him: "
You keep saying that you don't want to get married, but deep down in your heart you still want a woman. I really don't care. The best you can say is sour grapes."
Xing Nian was a little embarrassed: "What age are you? You are too weak to mount a horse and lift a gun. What age am I? It is when I am full of energy. Can this compare?"
At this moment, a continuous burst of thunder sounded.
Xing Nian muttered in a low voice: "God, what are you doing in the winter?"
Thunder?”
Because the thunder was so loud, Xing Nian couldn't hear his own voice clearly.
Just as Lao Liu was about to speak, a flower of blood suddenly burst out from his chest, and he fell off his horse.
Xing Nian was suddenly startled.
It was a fire cannon. Someone used the cover of thunder to fire the cannon in the dark, directly piercing the armor of the man in black and killing him with one blow.
Lao Liu died before he was old enough to get out of bed.
Xing Nian reacted immediately, rolled off the horse and lay on the ground.
The enemy is in the dark and has a firecracker. Riding on a horse is like a living target. Even if you turn around and try to escape, you can't move faster than the firecracker's projectiles.
Then Xing Nian thought of a very practical question, who has a firecracker?
Either the man in black or...
A jet-black armored boot appeared in Xing Nian's field of vision. It was somewhat similar to the man in black, but also slightly different. The silver threads outlined a cloud-like pattern on the black armored boots, which was very gorgeous.
This kind of splendor is not for decoration, but a Taoist talisman.
In an instant, Xing Nian knew who the enemy was.
The next moment, a projectile penetrated Xing Nian's head - because he was too cold, Xing Nian did not wear an iron helmet, but a leather hat.
The owner of the armored boots slowly appeared. He was a Taoist spiritual officer. He was reloading the bullets of the handgun that the smoke had not cleared. He carried a long gun behind his back. Not far behind him, there were two
The three of them were colleagues who were armed with long guns. They only communicated through simple gestures without saying a word. Their faces were covered by visors, and their expressions could not be seen. The visors flickered in the slightly dim moonlight.
With a cold sheen.
After confirming that Xing Nian and Lao Liu were dead, the three of them moved on.
Similar scenes also appeared in other places. Daomen's elite spiritual officers took advantage of the darkness to fully attack the Five Elements Mountains, resulting in heavy casualties among the Imperial Guards.
However, this move also alarmed the chief military officer responsible for commanding the Imperial Guard.
This is a warrior in the infinite stage. He has reached an ever-changing realm. His physique is very terrifying. He strides out of the military camp. With every step he takes, his figure expands at a speed visible to the naked eye. The surging blood overflows from his body, as if giving him a powerful force.
He inlaid a bloody edge.
In the blink of an eye, this infinite warrior has transformed from an ordinary person into a giant six feet tall. He is the "real body of the great witch" of the human immortal, but it is different from the female great witches who are "delicate" and tend to be alchemists.
The martial artist in his immortal form has tangled muscles and blood-red eyes, giving people a great sense of oppression.
Although there was only one warrior, as he walked, there was a roar as if a large group of cavalry were charging.
The spirit officers fired their guns one after another, and countless projectiles were thrown towards the warrior like a piece of "iron rain". However, against the body that was said to be indestructible, the projectiles under "Dragon Eyes Yiyi" could not cause any harm at all.
As if there was no one nearby, the martial artist punched out. Before the punch came, the gust of wind made countless trees bend down and even caused a cloud of flying sand and rocks.
At this moment, the high-ranking spiritual officer here also took action.
The black as ink Ling Guan armor is airtight, leaving no gaps. It does not use silver lines to draw the texture of the talismans like low-grade Ling Guan, but uses dark lines to inscribe the talismans. At a glance, there is nothing but only
When you get closer and take a closer look, you will find the densely packed talismans on Lingguan's armor.
This was a true second-grade spiritual officer, and he also met Wu Fu's punch with one punch.
The body of the Spirit Officer is not powerful, but with the blessing of the Spirit Officer's armor and divine power, they are like people descended from the gods, not inferior to people in the same situation.
A loud noise overwhelmed the winter thunder, and the huge aftermath spread to all directions, cutting off many bare trees.
Accompanied by a huge roar, the spirit officer retreated, his feet plowing two long ravines on the ground.
The martial artist's entire arm was blown to pieces, with no flesh and blood left. Only dots of light remained, vaguely outlining the outline of an arm. These light spots were the condensed acupuncture points. This is also the mystery of the indestructibility of gods.
.
Then I saw blood rushing to the outline of this place, quickly filling it, using the magic derived from flesh and blood to create an arm again. Because there is an acupoint as the center, there is nothing wrong with this new arm, and there is no need to adapt again.
, you can naturally control it down to the smallest detail.
The spirit officer pulled out his legs and rushed towards the martial artist again.
This time Wu Fu didn't hold anything back anymore, he punched out with both fists, and the two of them exchanged hundreds of blows in a short period of time.
In terms of fists and kicks, the warrior in the kaleidoscopic realm is much better than the spirit officer. If calculated according to the score of hitting the vital point, the spirit officer has already lost more than ten times. Unfortunately, the armor of the spirit officer is so strong that the warrior's fist cannot break it.
Naturally, the Lingguan armor cannot cause fatal injuries to the Lingguan. It can only attach layers of fists to the Lingguan's body, making it like a mountain bearing a heavy load.
The divine power around the spirit officer has not formed a Dharma form, nor has it condensed the Dharma body. After all, the spirit officer cannot be lumped together with the witchcraft. However, the divine power is not only as simple as making the spirit officer's armor stronger, it also gives the spirit officer some supernatural powers.
He saw pure white flames burning all over his body, burning away the fist attached to his armor.
