As ten thousand of his army was wiped out and his morale was greatly depleted, Kunxie was afraid of being attacked by the Xuan Kingdom. He was completely defeated and had to return to the court.
The original battle to destroy the country suddenly ended in an anticlimax, with both sides losing.
Xuan Wangzhang took advantage of this opportunity to immediately organize war preparations, train his soldiers, and then conquer other domestic forces, entering a long period of confrontation with the Kun Kingdom.
In the blink of an eye, five years passed by.
Li Rubi rode a tall horse, followed by more than ten soldiers, into the mountains.
He now looked like he was in his twenties, with skin like jade, handsome and unrestrained, and the armor he wore added a bit of heroism to him.
"My lord, this is it... Tuan Mountain, it is said that there is a place where immortals live in seclusion, and the woodcutter once saw the flying cranes!"
A warrior stepped forward to take a look, and immediately came back to report.
"Well, you can get off your horse and follow me into the mountain!"
Li Rubi looked at the sky, thoughtfully.
In the past five years, he has worked hard in the cracks between the two countries and emerged as a sudden force. Now he commands a large department, known as "The Mountain", and has thousands of warriors, which can be regarded as a third-party force.
But if he wants to dominate the world, it is not enough, so he is very courteous and virtuous. Hearing that there is an expert living in seclusion in Tuan Mountain, he came here to visit.
A group of people dismounted and climbed up. After climbing over a mountain, they saw strange pines and rocks and rising mountain fog. It was indeed a paradise scenery.
Li Rubi is the reincarnation of a dragon, so he naturally has supernatural powers. After a slight identification of his aura, he immediately knew where the person he was looking for was: "Follow me!"
They passed through a fog barrier and immediately saw three pines and cypresses standing tall in the shape of a Chinese character, and several small thatched houses below.
Under the pine tree, a small table was placed. A person was sitting cross-legged. There was a small purple cauldron in front of him. A large amount of charcoal was burning, making the small cauldron make a hissing sound.
"It would be rude not to greet the distinguished guests personally when they come from afar!"
The man was dressed in black and white clothes. Li Rubi recognized it as the Taoist robe of Kunwu Mountain, and he was wearing a Taoist crown. At this moment, he waved his hand, and the elixir furnace was opened, and the fragrance filled his nostrils: "Fortunately, I have a few returning elixirs, and I can still entertain guests. Please !”
Li Rubi sat down in front of the Taoist priest calmly and stared at the man.
I saw that this Taoist priest was about 20 or 30 years old, but his eyes seemed to have been through many vicissitudes of life. He had a strong aroma of medicine, and his cultivation was somewhat unfathomable. I couldn't help but feel a shiver in my heart: "The Taoist priest was once The Grand Master of Xuan Kingdom... Peng?"
"Exactly..."
Peng directly admitted: "I have been harassing the territory for several years. I hope you will not blame me! Please use it. Drink this Huandan with the jade liquid for better effects!"
As he said that, he pushed another jade cup over, and inside it was a cup of liquid like dew.
"Lord?!"
A soldier immediately stepped forward and wanted to test the medicine on himself. As a master, how could he use such an unknown thing
"Don't be suspicious, I am the Taoist Master!"
Li Rubi waved his hand casually, picked up the cup, took a sip, and suddenly felt enlightened, and picked up another Huan Dan.
But I saw that this Huandan was about the size of my thumb, and it was red all over, with a fragrant grassy fragrance like Ganoderma lucidum. After entering the mouth, it even beat slightly, as if it had a life of its own.
After swallowing it in one gulp, Li Rubi suddenly felt a warm current rising in his lower abdomen and flooding throughout his body. Everywhere was unstoppable. He couldn't help but praise: "The Taoist Master is indeed an immortal!!"
"It's a small skill, nothing worth mentioning! From what I can see, your body seems to have some innate deficiencies. You should make up for the foundation with the Huan Dan, and then take good care of it. You should be able to extend your life for two centuries..."
"Haha... life and death are common sense, what are the taboos?" Li Rubi was very open-minded: "It is enough for a man to make contributions before he is forty years old."
"Um… "
Peng nodded and said no more.
Little did he know that at this moment, his heart was already like a turbulent sea.
"This man is walking like a dragon and a tiger, and he has purple energy conceived in the roots of the mountain. He is so precious... And why does he still have an aura about him that makes me so afraid... Could it be that the war between human races will be a three-legged confrontation in the future!? Even..."
Thinking about this person's actions in recent years, Peng suddenly felt unfathomable.
"What is this?"
After using the jade liquid to restore the elixir, Li Rubi stared at the vertical and horizontal squares on the desk and the black and white stones inside, and asked with interest.
"This is the 'Tai Chi Chess', one white and one black. It was something I discovered in order to understand the yin and yang principles passed down by the Taoist ancestors. I usually enjoy playing chess with my left and right hands."
Peng said with a smile.
"Oh, please also ask the Taoist priest to explain it to me in detail..."
Li Rubi's eyes lit up and he asked about the rules of "Tai Chi".
Peng explained one by one that it was roughly the same as the Go game played by Fang Yuan in his previous life, but the positions of the pieces were in the square grid, and there were not as many positions on the chessboard in his previous life.
"Shan, there is no joy in the mountains. How about we talk about it?"
Li Rubi rubbed his fingers and asked with some emotion.
"That's what you wish for!" Peng's heart moved: "It's just a talk between nobles, how can there be no stakes?"
"Oh? What bet do you want?"
Li Rubi took out a few golden melon seeds: "How about these?"
"Haha... A noble man is bullying me. A king has mountains and rivers in his chest. How can a mere gold and silver compare to that?" Peng laughed and said, "How about I bet on this mountain?"
"Tuan Mountain is indeed under my control..." Li Rubi nodded: "Yes! If I lose, I will lose this entire mountain to you!"
"good!"
Peng smiled and pushed out the chess box: "Visitors are welcome first!"
"please!"
Li Rubi looked solemn, and a piece fell down, located in the middle of the chessboard.
It is still unknown how powerful this move is, but the majestic atmosphere alone has already made Peng feel frightened, and he returned the move with a cautious expression.
Li Rubi is very talented and can learn anything as soon as he learns it. At this time, he had no time to think and played more than a dozen moves in a row.
On the contrary, Peng had to think for a long time every time before he could come back to the previous sentence. His speed became slower and slower, and finally there was even a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Haha... The Taoist master is so good at chess that he is willing to be defeated!"
At the end, Li Rubi laughed, abandoned the chess piece in his hand, and admitted defeat calmly.
"Huh..."
Peng Chang sighed and stood up: "Respect and magnanimity are the only things that a poor man can see in his life. A poor man has no talent. I am willing to help you!"
"Haha... I have a Taoist priest, just like I have an army of tens of thousands!"
Li Rubi was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up himself. The two looked at each other, feeling like a monarch and his minister.
…
Xuanli fifty years.
Xuan's national power was strong, and he conquered Kun and won successive battles.
Kun Xie was so frightened that he formed an alliance with Li Rubi's mountain tribe to form an alliance with the weak to resist the strong.
In the same year, the armies of the three parties met in the Great River Plain, and the conflict in the world suddenly entered an intense stage.
Kunwu Mountain.
At this time, Shi Sheng had grown into a handsome young man with a face like a crown of jade and eyes like lacquer. He was well-dressed and fell at Fang Yuan's feet: "I have seen the master master!"
"Kunwu Mountain has been closed for a long time, and it's time to reopen the mountain... But I can't bear to see all the people in the world in ruins!" Fang Yuan said unhurriedly: "Go down the mountain and support the Ming Lord. It's an accumulation of money." Good deeds!”
"promise!"
Shi Shengfu worshiped again.
"I have two treasures here, one is the Hun Tian Banner, and the other is the Zanpaku Flying Sword. I will give them both to you to complete a meritorious deed!"
Fang Yuan raised his hand, and two radiant magic weapons fell down, making Shi Sheng's eyes widen involuntarily.
I saw that the Huntian Banner looked like a small cyan flag. With a slight shake, earth, fire, wind, and water were revealed. It was a treasure that was both good at offense and defense.
The Zanpaku Flying Sword, however, does not live up to its name. Instead, it looks like a gourd.
"As soon as you shake this Hun Tian Banner away, the earth's fire, wind and water will fall down. It is so powerful that no one can stop it... As for the Zanpaku flying sword, it is made by me condensing the killing energy between heaven and earth. It is unparalleled. , it needs to be kept warm and maintained in a gourd from time to time. When you want to use it, just bow your head and say, "Please turn around, baby."
"Thank you, sir, for the treasure!"
Even if he uses stone to create his mind and obtains two treasures, he is still overjoyed, and then he asks with some doubts: "I wonder who the Ming Master mentioned by the great master is?"
"Don't say it! Don't say it!"
Fang Yuan shook his head and smiled enigmatically: "There is another thing. Yuan Hongtong'er also went down the mountain a few days ago. If you see him, you don't have to restrain yourself. You must know that everyone is his own master!"
"Follow the law!"
Shi Sheng kowtowed and suddenly became excited: "What the elder said, does he think that I will fight against Senior Brother Yuan Hong?"
"Also... why didn't the great master even mention that evil dragon that escaped before?"
With doubts in his heart, he rode an auspicious cloud, left Kunwu Mountain, and returned to the world.
After just a little inquiry, I knew that the current situation was a situation in which the Xuan Kingdom was the dominant one, and Kun and Shan were united to compete.
In fact, the three parties were already fighting in the Dahe Plain. Shi Sheng hurried over and immediately saw the banners covering the sky and the fierce military strength rising to the sky. It was the scene of the confrontation between the three families.
But with his profound cultivation, he saw something different.
"In the Xuan Kingdom, the evil spirit is spreading, and it seems that there are many spirits helping out! Huh? Why does it seem that Yuan Hong is also among them? There are many monks in the Kun Kingdom. This should be the way of human immortality mentioned by the great master... As for Yamabe…”
He looked carefully at Qi, and his expression suddenly changed: "Okay! It's you!!! This carp actually came here and became the leader of a party?"
Immediately, he pressed the cloud head and landed in the mountain military camp.
"Who is it? Shoot an arrow!"
At this time, the confrontation between the three armies was extremely tense. Shi Sheng fell from the sky. He was an obvious stranger, and he was immediately hit by a wave of arrows.
However, he didn't panic and took out the Huntian Banner. He just shook it and a gust of wind appeared, immediately sweeping away the rain of arrows without leaving any trace behind.
"This person… "
Inside the tent, Peng looked at Shi Sheng and was immediately horrified: "I can't see clearly. I'm afraid the cultivation level is even worse than mine! And that magic weapon... If it is an assassin sent by Xuan Kingdom, the Lord's safety will be in great danger."
"no need to worry!"
Li Rubi's expression was a little strange, and he suddenly ordered: "If you invite this stranger to the big tent, you must be respectful."
When Peng saw this scene, he immediately became silent and felt confident that the person coming might be an old friend of the Lord.
If you can get this help, you will be more confident in defeating the enemy.
