Two years have passed, and Ye Qing's Xuanwu learning has reached the peak of the "True Astral Realm", and his demeanor is even more stable.
Because of the support of [Beiming Shengong], Ye Qingxuan has every chance to break through to the "Earth Origin Realm", and even reach the peak of the "Earth Origin Realm". In addition to Guannei's outstanding disciples, there are also several senior brothers.
[Beiming Shengong] Although there is a difference between good and evil from the Demon Sect's [Xuanyin Demon Absorbing Art], it will not destroy people's meridians by absorbing internal energy, but it will still make the opponent's meridians become slightly blocked after absorbing internal energy. Just like a hose that has been sucked hard, the walls of the meridians will shrink together, and it will take a long time of recuperation before it can return to normal and accumulate internal strength again. In two years, Xiangmu Hecha only contributed a total of eight full qi absorptions, but the results obtained are still gratifying.
Now except for the fourth senior sister who has just broken through the "Earth Origin Realm", the other extremely senior brothers are already in the "Earth Origin Realm" Dzogchen Realm, and in order to break through the innate, they are actively comprehending their own martial arts.
In the innate realm, the content of true energy is important, but more important is the perception of the state of mind and the understanding of the "Tao" between heaven and earth. This "Tao" is the ancient rules in the natural world.
And by comprehending these rules, one can find the innate qi contained in them, combine them with one's own martial arts, and produce an innate seed in the true qi in one's body, and a person's breath changes from acquired to innate. The Innate Realm is initially completed. The rest is to cultivate and strengthen the innate energy to complete one's own martial arts.
Obviously, recently, the second-generation disciples of Qingyun Temple have almost reached the bottleneck of their personal martial arts realm, and their overall strength has slowed down. At this time, it is no longer possible to break through by relying on methods such as retreat. What everyone needs is insight and touch. So except for He Qingzhu and Chen Qingsong who guarded the mountain gate, the other second-generation disciples chose to travel down the mountain, and even specially brought a few good disciples to go down the mountain together.
At the same time, Master Lingxu's plan to take back the ancestral court of Kunwu Mountain has finally begun to be implemented.
Ye Qingxuan was sent down the mountain by him to enter the eight counties of Yunzhou to understand the enemy's situation.
Ye Qingxuan traveled southwest all the way. After entering Yiliang County in the south of Yunxia County, they took a horse-drawn carriage traveling between various states and counties in Yunzhou, all the way to Huize County, the county seat closest to the eight counties of Yunzhou.
After arriving here, there is no means of transportation such as a post station.
Huize County, originally an ordinary small town in the hinterland of Yunzhou, is now more lively than ever because it is close to the turbulent eight counties of Yunzhou. People from the rivers and lakes carrying knives and swords can be seen everywhere on the street, and fighting with weapons even happens from time to time.
The government here has a laissez-faire attitude towards people in the Jianghu.
As soon as Ye Qingxuan entered the city, on the main road in front of him, he saw a few tough men in green clothes and black trousers, chasing and killing two men in yellow clothes. The two men in yellow clothes were covered with knife wounds and fled desperately. , Blood flowed for half the street, and one of them failed to escape the bad luck in the end, fell down in the middle of the street, and was hacked to death by random knives. The official guard was watching not far away, waiting for a few people to yell and leave, and then came out beating the gong to help Lizheng collect the body.
Ye Qingxuan shook his head and sighed, this is the real rivers and lakes, licking blood with the blade of a knife, it is precarious.
Ye Qingxuan arrived in Huize County in a carriage, and the physical exertion along the way was not serious. Although it was not yet noon, the bumpy road made Ye Qingxuan a little hungry.
At this time, it is a good time for the bright and beautiful spring. The clouds are light and the sky is clear, the sun is warm and the sun is flowing. The sun shines on people through the sparse clouds, giving people a lazy feeling.
On the busiest street in Huize County, you can see the bustling pedestrians as far as you can see, but the chaotic eight counties of Yunzhou have brought great opportunities to the forces of the underworld, and even brought the same prosperity to this ordinary town.
Ye Qingxuan wandered along the street, looking for a decent restaurant to fill his stomach. For Ye Qingxuan, who had some bad money in his hand, he was a greedy ghost, so how could he bear the grievance.
Just as he was looking around, there was a sudden commotion behind him, the sound of horseshoes, and a pair of knights in fresh clothes and angry horses came rushing into the street.
A few knights who looked like subordinates rushed forward first, lashing their whips all the way to drive away the crowd, clearing the way for the team behind, and those who couldn't escape, immediately went up with a few whips, beating people's skins to pieces, and kept yelling and cursing.
Ye Qingxuan didn't want to cause trouble, so he scattered to one side peacefully, watching the follow-up team pass by.
The first thing that catches the eye is the current sixteen knights, which are divided into four rows. The first row of knights is all dressed in white samurai uniforms, with horses on their horses. The first row is a two-handed sword, the fourth row is four Fangtian painted halberds, and each of the four rows of people wears military uniforms of different colors, which are gray, white, black, and yellow, which are exactly the same as the mounts. However, the appearance alone is enough to make people know that they are proficient in certain mysterious battle and charge tactics.
The knights on horseback have at least the cultivation level of "True Astral Realm", majestic and murderous. Just from their aura, it can be seen that these people have experienced many battles and are truly elites who have fought fierce battles.
Such an elite knight is rare even among the imperial court's frontier army in Yunzhou. How can you see such a well-trained master here
These sixteen knights escorted a huge carriage, the carriage turned out to be a rare eight-wheeled carriage, and there were also eight horses in front of it, the clear and tall horses, the pure white horses did not have a single hair on their bodies, and the white hairs were like clouds , There is also a small bony horn about two inches long on the forehead.
Alien beast cloud horn horse
This thing is a precious thing that is more difficult to obtain than the black scaled horse. The speed of the "cloud horned horse" is extremely fast. When it runs over, it seems to flash by like a white cloud. Capturing such a cub is worth hundreds of thousands of taels Baiyin, not to mention the eight horses in front of him, plus the carriage made of thousand-year-old agarwood, with this set, it is more than enough to buy the entire Huize County.
After the carriage passed, there were eight more knights in blue and blue, with double hooks and big axes in their hands.
Twenty-four riders in front and back, dressed in six colors of white, gray, black, yellow, blue, and blue. This dress made Ye Qingxuan frown, thinking of the "Yanzhou 20th Anniversary" by Zhongli Shangxian, the general of the northern town of Zhenbei. Four rides".
It is said that the "Twenty-Four Riders of Yanzhou" under the command of General Zhenbei who retreated bravely is also dressed in this way. It's just that Zhongli Shangxian has surrendered his military power for many years and has been living in Luoduzhong's mansion. He hasn't left the capital for more than 30 years, so it's impossible to appear here, right
After the team passed by, it seemed that an entire inn had been booked, and the bustling streets resumed.
Looking at the inn that seemed to be under martial law from a distance, Ye Qingxuan curled his lips, cursed "rich people have more money", then walked in a restaurant that looked good on the street.
Seeing a young Taoist priest who looked like a fairy suddenly came in, he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly led Ye Qingxuan to open an elegant seat on the street on the second floor, serving tea and water, and serving him very attentively.
Ye Qingxuan saw that it was quiet here and could see the scenery facing the street, so he couldn't help nodding his head to express his satisfaction, so he rewarded the waiter with some small silver, ordered some wine and food casually, and then asked: "Brother, how can I get to Yunzhou from here?" How many days does it take to walk to the nearest county seat of the eight counties?"
The shop waiter received the money, smiled broadly, and replied: "This little Taoist leader, from our Huize City to the nearest Shiping County over there, it only takes one day to ride a horse, which is very close, but after passing Huize County The Dingjun Ridge in the south is not so peaceful. I advise the leader of the trail, if you go there, you’d better go with a companion. It’s dangerous if there are fewer people. Those green forest grandfathers need money and life... "
"Oh? There are robbers?"
"Yes, and more than one group..."
"Is it great?"
"It's so fierce... Killing people without blinking an eye." The waiter leaned down and said cautiously: "It is said that several groups of bandits are related to each other, and some are also allegedly in collusion with the 'Zijin Bandit', so it's not easy to mess with them." … There was a hero back then, who was said to be a master of the 'Creation Realm', and ended up killing a group of robbers. Within two days, the body of this hero was stripped naked and hung in Huize County The gate of the city is closed. Tell me, how vicious..."
When Ye Qingxuan heard it, he laughed and nodded his thanks. I thought in my heart: The bandits related to the "Purple Scarf Bandit" are so right. I am worried that I don't know the reality of the "Purple Turban Bandit" on Kunwu Mountain, so I just want to attack you.
"Good fortune" master
Bah, even if I face the leader of the "Purple Turban Bandit" one-on-one now, I am confident that I will win, so I am afraid that you will be an errand boy
After thanking the waiter in the shop, after a while, his own small wine and side dishes were put on the table. Ye Qingxuan poured and drank alone, while looking at the scenery on the street boredly.
After a while, a pair of dusty masters and servants attracted Ye Qingxuan's attention.
This is a strange pair of masters and servants. The clothes on their bodies look plain, but in fact they are made of extremely luxurious materials. They are precious silks spun from the silkworms of alien beasts. They are even treasures paid as tribute to the court. Almost aristocratic families do not necessarily have this kind of fabric.
Ye Qingxuan had only seen some clothes made of cloth bestowed by the emperor at Qiu Feiyan's before he realized how precious they were. Unexpectedly, in this barren land, I saw such a person.
It's just that at this time, the two of them were in an extremely awkward manner, with yellow and thin faces, unable to walk, as if they hadn't eaten for a few days, they were looking at a stall selling pancakes on the side of the road, drooling greedily, at this moment that The little follower, who didn't know what to bring in exchange for big pancakes, was scolded by the stall owner, and the master and servant immediately covered their faces and ran away.
The little follower, who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, had a complaining expression on his face, pouted and said: "Tch—it's all the fault of the young master, who said that he insisted on saving people from danger, but he forgot the principle of not revealing wealth. As a result, all the money on my body was stolen by the thief... I didn't even have a copper coin to buy cakes... "
"You still say?" The eighteen or nine-year-old young man next to him went up and gave the little follower a slap, "A gentleman thinks righteousness is the most important thing. How can he refuse to save his life, how can he be rich and unkind? It's all you, blind Show off, I will let you give those beggars some broken silver, you even took out the silver bills and trembled for a few times... You idiot can't even look at your pocket, I will trample you to death... "
The youth was so angry that he kicked the little follower's ass.
"Oh, master, you'd better save some energy... The servant is so hungry that he has no strength." The little follower didn't hide, just sat down on the ground and couldn't get up.
