This caravan has more than 20 cars, and the guys who are driving the car are all powerful. Judging from their bodies and movements, they are all carrying weapons. The guys themselves are guards. There are more than 50 people in total, which is equivalent to a military formation. Some of them are hired by the caravan, some are slaves to the caravan owner, and some are simply soldiers of the garrison army formation in Chenggu.
Because this caravan transported not only ordinary goods, but also official supplies between the city blocks. It should be the safest to follow them through the Evil Mountain. There were 50 or 60 people carrying large and small bags of "guarding" and there were also small vendors driving ox carts. Before entering Evil Mountain, the team stayed in a market town for a night.
Huwa and many people squeezed into the yard of the inn. The houses were already full. It was not cold in summer. As long as it didn't rain, many people would sleep in the yard. Early in the morning, many people were making fires to make breakfast. At this moment, the noisy market outside suddenly became quiet and instantly became silent.
The tiger baby, who was sitting on the base of the wall, suddenly opened his eyes and showed a look of surprise, because he felt a solemn aura. The invisible sense of pressure made many people in the yard unable to speak. Some people didn't know what happened, ran to the gate of the yard and looked out, then stepped out of the yard and saluted respectfully, not even daring to breathe.
Huwa also walked out of the yard and looked out, then narrowed his eyes. A team was stepping into the market town. They should not be a military formation, but they were more like a military formation than the most elite military formation. There were only fourteen people in total, divided into two rows, each row was exactly equivalent to a small team in the military formation.
These people looked around 40 years old, strong and strong, all wearing black clothes, each with a knife hanging around his waist. He was wearing a stick that was neither long nor short, and his dress was quite strange. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people were not allowed to openly carry weapons. The guards in the caravan also needed to obtain approval from Chenggu to pass the checkpoints along the way, but these people were openly lined up with weapons.
Huwa could see clearly that the knife and stick could be used alone, and could be used with both hands, but the stick could be attached to the knife and turned into a long-handed knife. These people had a cold expression and had no expression on their faces. When they walked over, the people in the entire town did not dare to speak anymore. They all bowed and bowed with awe. Some people couldn't help but feel weak in their legs and knelt down with a thud.
But these men in black didn't even look at each other. Huwa was the only person standing on both sides of the road without salute, and they turned a blind eye to it. No one shouted an order, but when he was moving forward, the steps of each man in black were the same, and even the stride was not different. If he hadn't felt the vigorous rhythm of vitality, Huwa almost suspected that he had seen a group of puppets who could walk.
All of these people have practiced Wu Ding Gong. At least four of them have more cultivation, but compared with normal people, they seem to lack a certain aura of aura. It comes from the emotions in their hearts. Obviously, these people have undergone rigorous training and are very firm in their will. However, compared with ordinary people or other monks, their mood is too stagnant and lacks many complex emotions of normal people. No wonder Huwa has that feeling.
With their arrival, an invisible murderous aura enveloped the surroundings, which made people shudder. This may be related to their practice, but the more important reason is that each of them killed a lot of people. They did not hide such murderous aura at all, as if there was no need to hide it.
There were even countless resentful thoughts of resentful souls in his weapons and body. Only the tiger widows could feel this in a trance, while the others were just inexplicably afraid and were chilled all over.
Huwa already thought of who the visitor was. He had heard the legend of these men in black. But this was the first time he saw them with his own eyes that they were Xuanyi Iron Guards under Xingsha. As for the origin of Xuanyi Iron Guards, no one present knew better than Huwa. Huwa also specially asked the young officials to collect various information about Xuanyi Iron Guards.
About twenty years ago, after Xuansha led the Bai'e clans to repel the battle between Fanshi and Boshi countries, Xingyao also broke through the great cultivation level. Xingyao selected dead soldiers from the Bai'e clans he trusted and trained according to the military formation. He organized four military formations and became a private army he had.
In the background at that time, Xingyao seemed normal to do this. The Bai'e clan had just been attacked by a large army and trained the private army to prevent accidents. This private army only obeyed Xingyao's orders, and Xingyao only obeyed Baisha. Therefore, the elders in Chiwangqiu could not interfere, and everything needed to train the military formation came from the worship of Fanshi and Boshi.
When Shaowu was chatting with Huwa once, he mentioned this matter specifically and made a bold guess: Xingyao training the private army must have been approved by Bai Sha, and may also be vaguely targeting another important figure in Chiwangqiu Xuan Sha.
Xuan Sha had just commanded the army temporarily organized by the Bai'e clan to repel the powerful enemy, and after the war, the temporarily organized troops were disbanded and returned home. But one day, if Xuan Sha came forward to raise his arms and shout, he would probably quickly pull out another army. Xingyao might be afraid of it, and take this opportunity to organize the elite troops in the clan to train a private army.
On the other hand, these people cannot be regarded as disciples of Chi Wangqiu, but they are just dead soldiers under Xingyao. There are many things that are not suitable for the noble immortals to do, so it is quite appropriate to leave them to do.
Now Huwa has learned some of the situation inside Chiwangqiu from Ayuan, and also knows why Xuansha left the mountain to practice. Looking back now, Shaowu’s guess is somewhat reasonable.
There were 200 soldiers trained by Xingyao, but how could Huwa forget that they were the murderers of the Qingshui clan! The battle back then was extremely tragic. In fact, the Qingshui clan was not weak, and there were also a group of masters, including Panhu's parents. In the end, there were only fifty people left in these 200 dead soldiers, and later they changed into black clothes and became today's Xuanyi Iron Guard.
The remaining fifty people can be formed into a military formation, which is more elite than any military formation in the original Ba. In fact, their combat power is second-class, and no matter how powerful it is, it is just a military formation. But they have all undergone long-term training in military tactics and formations. When necessary, each of them can become generals who command and lead the battles of the military formation.
Fifty Xuanyi Iron Guards are fifty lurking generals. They are all proficient in military tactics and battle formations, and are absolutely loyal and fearless of death. They cooperate with each other very tacitly and can command thousands of troops at any time. Whether it is the military formations of Fanshi Kingdom or Boshi Kingdom, they can exert a much greater combat power than before. In normal times, few people can realize this, which is the truly powerful hidden means of Xingsha.
Xingyao took away 200 people from the mountain and only fifty came back. Chi Wangqiu's explanation for this was that they went to the depths of the wilderness to kill a demon king who was transforming the realm. Although they successfully killed the demons, they also suffered heavy casualties. The demon king was indeed killed, and it was Shanzha and Xingyao's actions, but the dead soldiers were damaged when they destroyed the Qingshui clan. This secret is not known to outsiders, and even the elders on Chi Wangqiu are not clear about it.
Huwa has always had a question in his mind. He originally planned to ask about it privately when he met Ayuan next time. The Qingshui clan tragedy did not leave any living mouths. Of course, the so-called living mouths do not refer to Huwa and Panhu, but to the fifty subordinates led by Xingsha. So many people are still alive, and after so many years, hasn't the whim been revealed, and even the senior officials of various countries can't find out any inside story?
Now that he saw these two teams of Xuanyi Iron Guards with his own eyes, Huwa finally understood the reason. Since Baisha and Xingyao would leave these people behind, they were not worried that they would reveal any secrets. These people have never been disbanded, but have been trained to become Xuanyi Iron Guards, and they both swear to die.
If Xingyao ordered them not to keep secrets, they would definitely keep secrets. But what should I do if the leak was accidentally revealed? Huwa seemed to have some reputation. These people seemed to have some problems with their minds. It is not that they were unclear. In fact, these people are completely awake, with sharp sensing and agile skills. They are all like a sharp blade that can be unsheathed at any time, but there is always something wrong.
It is certainly not difficult for Xingsha to find a group of Bai'e clan members who are loyal to the death, but it does not mean that he will not use other means. If he repeatedly uses divine thoughts to quietly imprint them into his mind and instill a certain belief in people, over time, this belief will become deeply rooted and seems to have become an innate self-will. And these Xuanyi Iron Guards seem to have had this experience.
On the other hand, if you secretly use a powerful divine mind seal, you can even unconsciously forget specific events or change your memory of certain things. Huwa has gained some clues recently. Although he has never used this method, he can also deduce some mysterious principles. At this moment, he is only guessing and cannot be completely sure.
If that were the case, these Xuanyi Iron Guards who had already been loyal to the death would not reveal Xingyao's secrets. Looking at the resolute expressions of these people, even if Xingyao or Baisha had used those methods on them, they would probably be willing to accept it.
Huwa frowned slightly, thinking about what kind of person the Xuanyi Iron Guard in front of him was? Their will and thoughts were quite firm, but they were different from the state of mind that many monks in the world sought to prove, and they were not suddenly enlightened.
If such a person is innately strong, he can be trained to become the most elite warrior. If he has good qualifications, he may become a monk and master magical powers, but it is difficult to break through too high achievements. These people's temperaments are all the shadow of Xingyao, but they are different from Xingyao. Xingyao's mood is related to his own experience and opportunities, which he verified in his practice; and the minds of these people are deliberately created according to certain requirements.
When the people in the market saw these black-clothed iron guards, their eyes were full of awe, but Huwa felt that they had advantages, but they were even more pitiful. However, this feeling could not dispel Huwa's hatred, because they were indeed the murderers of the Qingshui clan, and their minds were completely awake during the massacre. (To be continued.)
