As a secular country, it was twice as large as the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty where Su Yi was located.
The Huaihuang Kingdom respects Taoism, and Taoist temples are built in all nineteen prefectures and counties and hundreds of cities in the country.
Nanliu City is an ancient city in Huaihuang Kingdom.
It was late spring, misty and rainy.
Outside the city, a group of monks appeared near a dense forest.
There are thirteen monks in total, both male and female.
The one with the highest cultivation level is a man in black robes at the Immortal King level.
They had just stood up, when a strong and determined team came on horseback, a mighty force with hundreds of people.
"Fire the arrow!"
At the front of the team, a general shouted loudly.
The hundreds of elite soldiers bent their bows and fired arrows in unison, and the dense arrows suddenly shot towards the thirteen ascetics like an overwhelming cold light.
A hail of arrows killed nine people.
Three others were seriously injured.
Only the Immortal King Realm man in black robe only received some minor injuries.
He was shocked and angry, and said sternly: "You know who we are, how dare you treat me..."
In the distant team, the leading general suddenly rode up on horseback, brandished a sharp spear, and stabbed the man in black robe fiercely.
His strength is strong and his movements are nimble. At first glance, he looks like he has experienced hundreds of battles.
The black-robed man was about to start his Dao Xing, but he suddenly found that his Dao Xing was completely empty, and even his physical strength was blocked. He was no different from an ordinary person who had no power to restrain a chicken.
In a blink of an eye, the spear had pierced the black-robed man's head, and his skull flew up. His brains spilled out, and blood spilled like a waterfall.
The other three seriously injured monks turned around and fled, but before they were halfway, they were surrounded and killed by cavalrymen holding war spears.
Snapped!
An old cavalry slapped another young cavalry in the face and cursed, "That girl is so beautiful, why kill her? No wonder you have never been able to find a wife!"
The young cavalryman's cheeks turned red, "The boss said that the heads of those extraterrestrial demons are all decorated with military merits. The more you kill, the more military merits you get, the greater the reward. I...I don't want the extraterrestrial demons as my wife!"
His words caused a burst of laughter.
Some people joked that the young cavalryman was a young boy and did not understand the joys of sex. He must go to a brothel to play in a brothel one day to open his eyes and taste some meat.
The leading general waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense, collect the relics of those extraterrestrial demons, and continue the action!"
Hundreds of cavalrymen dismounted and quickly collected items from the corpses of the "extraterrestrial demons" they called them.
Dao sword, secret talisman, gourd, Dao seal...
A lot of them densely packed.
All have no spirituality, are ordinary, like scrap metal, dull and dull.
"Boss, what are these things for?"
Someone is confused.
"Who knows, I only know that the National Advisor, the General, and the Shence Mansion have already ordered that these relics should be submitted, and merits will be recorded according to the number."
The general took off his helmet, revealing a middle-aged face as cold as rock.
His name is Ma Yu.
The guard general of Nanliu City has served in the army for forty years and has gained extensive knowledge.
But even he doesn't know where those "extraterrestrial demons" come from and why they are so weak...
All he knew was that not only the imperial court, but also people from all walks of life in the Huaihuang Kingdom were taking action, with the goal of hunting down the demons from outside the territory, in order to make a fortune!
"Keep going!"
After collecting the loot, the team set off again, heading into the distance.
Before, near Nanliu City, they saw many dazzling white lights falling from the sky from a distance, falling into the mountains and fields in the distance like meteorites.
Therefore, Ma Yu was very sure that the extraterrestrial demons who appeared this time were not just the dozen or so people.
"The military merit accumulated this time is enough for me to be promoted to a higher rank!"
Along the way, Ma Yu was thinking.
…
In front of a hill.
boom!
Pu Xuan punched a big tree next to him.
The big tree didn't move at all, but his fingers scratched the skin and soaked in blood. The pain made him take a breath.
"Not only is his cultivation gone, but his body, energy, blood, and power are also gone. He is really no different from an ordinary person."
Pu Xuan whispered.
Su Yi smiled and said, "I'm used to having the Dao in my body and being aloof, but now I'm reduced to a mortal all of a sudden. Isn't it very strange?"
Pu Xuan smiled and said, "The gap is indeed too big. For example, when I was killing enemies in the past, I could sense all the disturbances in the world and mountains and rivers with just a thought. When I encountered danger, I could avoid it with my instinct. But now..."
He took a big step forward and said helplessly, "Not to mention the loss of spiritual consciousness, the distance of one step is less than ten feet, and the hand without the strength to tie a chicken is nothing more than that."
Then, he patted the scabbard on his back and said, "This thing is now broken. It used to be able to open the sky with one sword, but now it can only kill chickens and ducks with one sword."
Pu Xuan unsheathed his sword, held a sword flower on his wrist, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I still have some sword skills. If you give me three to five years, I might be able to become a swordsman and wield swords in the world."
Su Yi was speechless.
It can be seen that Pu Xuan is still very open-minded and does not worry at all after becoming a mortal.
"What you said is quite right. Although the Huaihuang Kingdom does not have a great road, it does have rivers and lakes, martial arts, internal skills, and martial arts masters."
Su Yi said, "If you are willing to practice again, you really have a chance to become a well-known hero in the world."
Pu Xuan held the sword in one hand and stroked his chin with the other, saying longingly: "It would not be bad to be a swordsman among mortal swordsmen and live freely in the world of mortals."
Su Yi said: "The premise is that you don't get killed. Do you think the worldly world of martial arts is easy to mess around with?"
While talking, the two were walking forward.
On the road, suddenly a woman in white came hurriedly and said, "Two fellow Taoists, can you take me to walk with you?"
The woman looks extremely beautiful, her skin is as good as snow, her figure is graceful, and her beautiful eyes seem to be able to speak, so charming.
Pu Xuan was startled and looked at Su Yi.
Su Yi glanced at the woman in white and said, "Give me a reason that makes sense, and let's act together."
The woman in white pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then said, "First, we are all ascetics from outside. We have the same purpose and can help each other along the way."
"Two, now that I have lost my cultivation and am defenseless, I will never harbor evil intentions and harm others and myself. There is no point in doing so."
"Third, my name is Tao Zhi. I come from the Immortal Power of Qingfeng Continent, Liuhe Immortal Mountain. My master is the leader of Liuhe Immortal Mountain. When I return to the outside world in the future, I will give you a batch of immortal treasures as a reward!"
"Immortal treasure?"
Pu Xuan's lips twitched and his eyes looked strange.
Above the immortal way is the divine way.
Above the divine way is the path of immortality.
Above the immortal path is the eternal path.
As a sword cultivator on the eternal path, Pu Xuan couldn't help but laugh and cry when he heard that the treasure the other party gave him in return was actually an immortal treasure.
Su Yi nodded, "Okay."
The woman in white who called herself Tao Zhi was immediately relieved and said gratefully: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help!"
Pu Xuan was a little surprised.
Is this agreed?
He just wanted to send a message to inquire, but found that it was impossible to do so.
I can only hold the words in my stomach.
Seemingly seeing through Pu Xuan's thoughts, Su Yi said: "Have you forgotten what that calligraphy painting said, be kind to others, the more the better."
Pu Xuan nodded.
We are both fallen people at the end of the world, no matter what the eternal path, now we are just like the woman in white, they are just mortals in this world.
Regardless of the level of cultivation in the past, everyone is the same today.
Immediately, they walked away.
Tao Zhi asked Su Yi's name, and Su Yi casually made up a fake name: Su Haoren.
Pu Xuan understood it and called himself "Pu Xuanren."
Tao Zhi couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. She could naturally see through such poor excuses at a glance.
On the way next, Tao Zhi kept her posture very low and was extremely well-behaved. Seeing that Su Yi and Pu Xuan didn't want to talk more, she didn't say anything.
But if the two of them asked anything, she would definitely tell them everything.
Along the way, Pu Xuan couldn't help but lament that he could adjust his state of mind so quickly after falling from an immortal figure to the mortal world. This Tao Zhi was obviously not one of those stupid fairies who only knew how to practice in seclusion.
Su Yi was speechless all the way.
I walked forward on my own, occasionally stopping to look at the sky, but most of the time I was silent.
A quarter of an hour later, a group of people came from a distance, headed by a man in blue robes.
When he saw Tao Zhi, the man in blue robe immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Senior sister, I finally found you!"
Tao Zhi also showed joy and said: "I thought that after arriving in Huaihuang Country, we were completely separated. It turned out that we were all in this wilderness of mountains and forests!"
With that said, she introduced the man in blue robe and others to Su Yi and Pu Xuan, and finally introduced Su Yi and Pu Xuan.
"You two, how about we come together?"
The man in blue robe cupped his fists and bowed, "In this hellish place, everyone has fallen into the mortal world. With more people and greater strength, we can still have someone to take care of us."
As soon as these words came out, almost all the people behind the man in blue frowned.
They come from the same force and know each other well, so naturally they don't want to bring two unknown strangers together.
After taking in all this, Su Yi shook his head and declined.
The invitation from the man in blue robe was obviously just a courtesy. If you really believed it and acted with the other party, a lot of embarrassing things would probably happen along the way.
Sure enough, the man in blue robe led everyone away without any further persuasion.
"At first, I thought that Tao Zhi was a smart person, but I never thought that he could be so heartless and unjust."
Pu Xuan sighed.
Previously, when the man in blue robe invited him to go with Su Yi, Tao Zhi was very silent and never said anything. When leaving, he only said hello to Su Yi and Pu Xuan.
Compared with the meek and humble attitude along the way, it has become much colder.
Su Yi smiled and said: "It's just a chance meeting. We have come all the way to this point, and it's not even half an hour. She has her own choice, and she can't fault her."
Speaking of this, the smile on his face faded and his brows wrinkled slightly.
Pu Xuan said: "What's wrong?"
Su Yi shook his head, "Nothing."
With that said, he changed direction and walked to another place.
Pu Xuan was startled and immediately realized that the direction Su Yi was walking in was exactly the direction Tao Zhi and his party left just now.
"has a problem?"
Pu Xuan was puzzled.
Su Yi said, "Find a local to ask something later."
Pu Xuan was thoughtful.
After just a cup of tea, a plain appeared in the distance.
A sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, as fast as a drumbeat.
Immediately, a burst of exclamations also sounded.
Pu Xuan recognized that one of the noisy exclamations came from Tao Zhi!
Pu Xuan couldn't help but glance at Su Yi. Could it be said that Su Yi had already noticed all this before the tea time?
