Volume 1: The Sword Comes from the West Chapter 14: Differential Treatment
Being surrounded by so many monsters all at once, it was impossible for anyone to remain calm, but Li Xiuping breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of monster has a detailed record in Ye Xingsi's book of hundreds of monsters, called "Blue Wind Wolf". Although there are many in number, they are generally not strong. Most of them are only first-order monsters, and only the leader reaches the second level.
level.
Of course, encountering this kind of monster is not without threats. After all, the huge number makes up for the lack of strength. If there is no correct response method, once encountered, it will be a big trouble.
To deal with this kind of monster, you must first find the leader of these monsters and then kill him. The remaining dragons will disperse without a leader.
If there were only one or two people, it would naturally be difficult to deal with them, but now there are more than ten of them, and they are all practitioners with considerable strength. There are even two strong foundation builders among them, plus Xu Bansheng's suppressive power.
Demonic Talisman, as long as you use the right method, it is not difficult to deal with it.
Li Xiuping said: "Don't be nervous, these are just ordinary blue wind wolves, they are not difficult to deal with."
After hearing this, although everyone didn't want to see Li Xiuping, they still breathed a sigh of relief.
The monk surnamed Yin asked: "Brother Li knows how to deal with these monsters?"
Li Xiuping walked out of the carriage. This was the first time he appeared in front of everyone since the battle last night. He nodded and said: "As long as we find the leader of the Blue Wind Wolf and kill him, we can solve the problem.
The crisis of the moment.”
Everyone looked at the wolves and couldn't help but frown.
These monsters all look the same. How can you tell which one is the leader? If you can't tell, how can you kill them? Don't you still need to kill all the monsters? Although these monsters are not strong, they can be counted in numbers.
There are so many of them. If we kill them all, even if they are all practitioners with high strength, they will probably be exhausted to death, not to mention that everyone is still injured.
The monk surnamed Yin said: "We are here to contain these monsters and find the leader. I will leave it to Brother Li."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but glance at the monk named Yin and nodded.
The monk surnamed Yin continued: "Junior Brother Chao and Junior Sister Liu are responsible for Brother Li not to be disturbed by the monsters. The others will follow me to kill him."
Although everyone was puzzled, they did not hesitate too much. The monk named Chao and the female monk named Liu came directly to the carriage and stood on both sides. The others followed the monk named Yin and rushed towards the wolves.
Xu Bansheng stood on the carriage, ready to take action at any time.
As the fighting started, Li Xiuping quickly found the leader of the Blue Wind Wolf among the wolves, pointed his hand and said: "Do it!"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Bansheng left the carriage, flew up into the air, and then threw out the demon-suppressing talisman in his hand. Probably fearing that something would go wrong, he directly used the demon-suppressing talisman to target several monster beasts in the direction pointed by Li Xiuping.
As Xu Bansheng succeeded, the monk surnamed Yin rushed out instantly and used his magical power to kill all the monsters.
As those few Blue Wind Wolves were killed, the remaining Blue Wind Wolves let out a roar and instantly turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.
Everyone returned to the carriage, and the monks who originally did not want to see Li Xiuping began to accept Li Xiuping.
Although Li Xiuping did not take action in this battle, without him, it would be difficult for them to repel these wolves.
The monk surnamed Yin came back at this time and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Brother Li is here, otherwise it would not be so easy to repel these monsters."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "We are now on the same boat, so you don't have to be polite, Senior Brother Yin."
The monk named Yin nodded and put away his weapon.
Li Xiuping continued: "Although the danger has been eliminated for the time being, we still have to leave as soon as possible. Once it gets dark and we have not left Qixia Mountain, the danger we will face will never be lower than this."
Everyone nodded, and the monk named Yin said: "Hurry up and pack up, and then continue on your way."
He then had two simple stretchers prepared and lifted up the two seriously injured people. He carried the stretchers first and tried to leave Qixia Mountain as soon as possible.
In this way, the speed is indeed much faster, and switching between two can also reduce the physical exertion. There is almost no rest for the rest of the way, and finally we leave Qixia Mountain before dark.
Although there was still some distance from Chu Xincheng, everyone looked at the Qixia Mountain behind them, which had been shrouded in twilight, and their hearts were finally completely relieved. Everyone's face was filled with a kind of joy of surviving the disaster.
Li Xiuping still did not leave the carriage, and his injury did not improve at the end of the day. This was also the flaw in the sword-raising method left by Mr. Ouye, that is, if you overuse the sword's intention, you will suffer the backlash of the sword's intention. This is still
With the suppression of that hatchet, otherwise it would have been more than just a serious injury.
Xu Bansheng asked at this time: "Will we not encounter monsters next?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true, but the chance of encountering a monster is low. At least you won't encounter a high-level monster again."
Xu Bansheng said: "That's good."
After saying that, he jumped off the carriage and opened his arms to embrace the evening breeze.
Everyone rested for a while, and then continued on their way, planning to enter Chu Xincheng overnight and make good repairs.
After all, we are still outside the city, and there is still a possibility of encountering monsters. In addition, everyone is still injured. Being able to enter Chuxin City as soon as possible can also be treated early. Especially the two seriously injured monks, although now
His life has been saved, but if the injury cannot be treated in time, it will definitely leave irreversible hidden dangers.
There was no danger as we moved forward, and soon we saw thousands of lights ahead in the night, which was Chu Xincheng.
Now that the imperial court has decided to abandon Qingyang County, Chu Xincheng is naturally heavily guarded. No matter day or night, the west gate is closed. Unless someone comes from Qingyang County, it will almost never be opened.
At this moment, when everyone came to the gate of Chuxin City, they found that the gate was tightly closed, and the soldiers on the wall were pointing their crossbows at them, as if they had no intention of opening the gate to let them in.
The female cultivator named Su stood up at this time and shouted to the soldiers on the tower: "We are disciples of the Tianxu Sect. Please open the city gate and let me enter the city."
At this time, a general wearing silver-white armor walked out of the city wall. He looked down at the people below and replied: "It is curfew time now. According to military orders, we cannot open the city gate at will. We also ask you to stay outside overnight. Tomorrow
Let’s go back to the city early in the morning.”
As soon as they heard this, everyone was unhappy. After finally arriving at Chuxin City, they had to be blocked from entering the city. No one else would be comfortable.
Li Xiuping felt helpless. If these people had not said that they were practitioners, the generals guarding the city might have opened the city gate. Now that the identity of the practitioners was revealed, it would be strange that the city gate could be opened.
Aren't you great practitioners? You are capable of killing monsters and demons, so I'll let you kill a few more monsters outside.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a moment. Although they were monks, they couldn't force their way in. If they really angered the soldiers, they would just fire a volley of arrows, which would be hard for them.
"What should we do? Do we really have to stay outside the city for one night?" the female cultivator named Liu asked with a frown.
The female cultivator named Su said angrily: "Isn't Li Xiuping very capable? He must have a way to do this kind of thing."
At this time, Li Xiuping handed a dark token out of the carriage and said, "Uncle Cheng, tell them that we are from the Night Travel Division."
The man driving the carriage took the sign, responded, jumped out of the carriage, raised the sign in his hand, and said loudly: "We are under the command of Gao Zhang of Qingyang County. We have a mission and need to enter the city. This is the Black Iron Order.
Please also open the city gate."
When the generals in the city heard this, they couldn't help but frown. After a while, they asked someone to put down a rope. There was also a helmet tied to the end of the rope. This meant that the people below were asked to put the Black Iron Order in the helmet and let them confirm the authenticity.
.
The man driving the carriage put the black iron order into his helmet, and the soldiers on the tower pulled up the rope. After the general got the black iron order, he shouted to the bottom: "Everyone, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he ordered people to go to the city with the Black Iron Order to confirm.
In this way, everyone waited for about a quarter of an hour. The closed city gate opened, and a group of soldiers rushed out holding long contradiction cards, and then lined up in front, guarding the surroundings.
The general also came out at this time and said with a smile: "In extraordinary times, we have to be careful. I ask for your forgiveness, adults."
After speaking, he handed over the Black Iron Order with both hands and made a "please" gesture.
The man who drove the carriage took the black iron order and returned it to Li Xiuping, then drove the carriage toward the city. Naturally, the group of monks followed behind, all of them with complicated expressions, especially the female monk named Su, who looked embarrassed.
After entering the city, Li Xiuping said directly: "We still have a mission to go to the Night Travel Division, so let's not leave here."
The monk surnamed Yin nodded and said: "Brother Li, I have thanked you for your help along the way. See you later."
The two groups separated at this point, and Li Xiuping and others, escorted by a group of soldiers, went straight to the Night Travel Division.
After leaving Qingyang County this time, Gao Yunmian did give Li Xiuping some tasks, asking him to come and communicate with Chu Xincheng about some information related to monsters. However, there was no need for Li Xiuping to say anything. Gao Yunmian had written it all down.
in the letter, so Li Xiuping only needs to hand this letter to the person in charge of Chu Xincheng.
However, after all, Li Xiuping came with the Black Iron Order, so after arriving at the Night Travel Division, the Night Travel Division directly arranged accommodation and dinner for Li Xiuping and others without any hesitation. An old man even pulled Li Xiuping to ask some questions.
Regarding matters related to Qingyang County, Li Xiuping also used the channels of Ye Xingsi to find some healing elixirs, and also asked about some situations related to Chu Xincheng...
There was no talking all night until dawn.
Early the next morning, Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng, led by a maid, went to buy some necessities for their journey.
With the help of the elixir, both Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng's injuries have improved, and their complexions look much better than yesterday.
Chu Xincheng is larger than Qingyang County, and naturally more lively than Qingyang County. In terms of area, it can be equal to seven or eight Qingyang counties. If there is no maid arranged by the Night Travel Department to lead the way, Li Xiu alone can
Pinghe and Xu Bansheng were afraid that if they walked in a circle, they would not be able to find their way back.
Compared with the groom who drove the carriage before, this maid was quite talkative. While leading Li Xiuping and Xu Bansheng, she introduced what they saw and heard along the way. Naturally, she couldn't help but talk about Ye Xingsi and the monsters, and then she said:
He looked at Li Xiuping with admiration and said that Li Xiuping must be very capable if he could get the Black Iron Order at such a young age and come to Chu Xincheng from Qingyang County. Li Xiuping was a little embarrassed when he said this.
In fact, there are a lot of things that need to be bought, and Chu Xincheng naturally sells more things. However, the money in his pocket is limited, so it is not necessary. Even if he likes it, Li Xiuping can only grit his teeth and give up.
There is still a long way to go, and we must maximize the use of money. Some things that are difficult to store and carry, no matter how good they are, cannot be bought. Some foods that are easy to store, of course, the more the better.
; You also need to bring some plasters and the like. Although the possibility of encountering monsters next is almost zero, these things will come in handy sooner or later.
Xu Bansheng is obviously a foodie. He can't walk when he sees delicious food. Unfortunately, he has no money and can't ask Li Xiuping for it, so he can only drool. Originally, he wanted to see more
The eyes can relieve the craving, but you will find that the more you look at it, the more you are craving for it, and in the end you just can't bear to look at it.
Seeing that he had almost bought all the things he needed, Li Xiuping asked the maid: "Is there any treasure appraising place nearby?"
The maid was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, but it's a bit far. It takes about half an hour to walk."
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "It's okay."
So the two of them, led by the maid, came to a place called Wanbao Tower.
The maid stood in front of the Wanbao Tower and explained to the two of them: "I heard that this Wanbao Tower was opened by the Chen family, where you can buy all kinds of miraculous medicines and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. I have never been here either, so this time it is considered
I have taken advantage of Mr. Li."
Having said this, she smiled and then asked: "Master Li, do you want to buy a magic weapon or a pill?"
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "I don't have the money to buy those things. But when I came here before, I got a wooden vine and it felt extraordinary, so I wanted to take it over to appraise it to see if it's worth anything."
The maid had a look of astonishment on her face, but she didn't say much and led Li Xiuping and the two of them into Wanbao Tower.
Although Wanbao Building is not very big, it is very gorgeously decorated. The first floor is a hall, and the surrounding walls are covered with wooden shelves. There are all kinds of strange things on them, most of which Li Xiuping has never seen before.
of.
Xu Bansheng's eyes were shining at this moment and he said: "I really didn't realize that there are so many good things in this Wanbao Building. Master is right. The Chen family is not the most powerful in Yunzhou, but it is definitely the richest.
."
At this time, a clerk from Wanbao Tower came over and asked, "What do the guests need? We have all the treasures of heaven and earth, elixirs, and magic weapons."
As he said that, he looked up and down at Li Xiuping and the other three. When he saw the straw sandals Li Xiuping was wearing, he couldn't help but frown.
Just at this time, another group of people walked in, and this group of people was none other than the group of monks who had been with Li Xiuping and others before. Obviously, they should have come to replenish some magic weapons and spiritual weapons. After all, the previous
During the battle, a lot of these people's magical weapons were damaged.
As soon as he saw these people, the waiter left Li Xiuping and the other three and greeted them with a smile on his face.
