Chapter Twenty-Eight: Desolate Lands Are Contended
Not far from the three-story attic surrounded by stone guardrails, about three to four feet inside the main entrance, there is an independent small house with bright candlelight.
Inside the hut, there is nothing but a table, a chair, and a bed. There is no large piece of furniture. If there is any, it is a high-quality ironwood floor in front of the bed. On the wall, there are many
The round pegs are hung with different things. If you look closely, you can see that most of them are dried small animals, such as rabbits and deer, but they have been made into dried meat.
The man sitting on the chair at this moment reached out and picked up the earthenware vat on the table, poured half a bowl of wine, and sipped it in small sips. It took him more than ten breaths to finish half the bowl of wine, and then smashed his mouth.
There was a look of intoxication on his face.
Then he tore off a chicken leg from the plate on the table, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"Let them complain every day, sir, but I am free and happy... Having some confidence makes a big difference indeed. No wonder most people from poor families choose to go to sea, while most of the people who are recruited are from well-off families, and they only seek blood medicine at the end of their lives.
And those who are lucky enough to break through.”
Xin Weiying's eyes lit up, he crossed his hands, rubbed his hands and nodded repeatedly, as if he had discovered some profound truth in the world.
According to the instructions, junior cultivators who have broken through the Yangyuan Realm are to report to Mount Hami, obtain a status similar to that of an "outer disciple", and accept their assignments. However, very few make such a choice. Only
Those who have a good family background and have successfully taken medicine until the end of their lives may make such a choice.
And most of those people who took the medicine and took the plunge, hoping to make a comeback, went to the sea to make a living.
In fact, there are no need to elaborate on the inconveniences of becoming an outer disciple of Hami Mountain, but it is not without any benefits. As long as you are lucky enough to get even a little bit of Hami Mountain's connections and property, it is also a great opportunity. If you manage it carefully, you can avoid those who have problems.
There may be dangerous or very tedious tasks, but it is not impossible.
The core reason why this path is not as competitive as going overseas is that the speed of accumulating wealth is much slower.
A timid person like Xin Weiying, who gritted his teeth and chose to go to sea instead of seeking a stable livelihood.
However, after arriving at Zhuluhai, on the first day he witnessed a fierce battle between the two armies, with casualties and casualties, Xin Weiying immediately ran away.
Even so, he would rather go hunting in the mountains and make a living by selling high-grade animal skins. Although it is a bit harder, fortunately, fighting alone is better than sharing the rain and dew, and his income can reach that of the sea gang members with the same level of cultivation.
Roughly the same level; about three times more than the outer disciples of Mount Hami.
Such days came to an abrupt end ten years ago.
After accidentally "defeating" Yu Chan, he counted and exchanged and sold the few seemingly inconspicuous trophies, and Xin Weiying suddenly discovered that his income had reached as much as 3,500 gold - which was still greatly increased by the evil shop owner of the goods store.
The result after lowering the price.
This income is enough for him to fulfill his original dream in life——
Purchase a courtyard of three feet and ten feet, own more than 1,500 acres of land, marry a "rich" wife from a middle-class family or above, buy two batches of purebred Qingsai horses and a carriage, and buy four more
Young and beautiful little maid.
The hunting life of eating and sleeping every day is finally gone forever!
However, now is not the time to enjoy it.
After serving for twelve years in Mount Hami, you can get a "Jade Disk Cursive Script", which is equivalent to an identity certificate. The person who owns this book will obtain a noble status recognized by the Cangming Kingdom - of course the lowest level.
- and some seemingly insignificant but very affordable privileges.
This is also one of the few attractive places on the road to Mount Hami.
But before you get enough wealth, this thing is actually worthless; but once your family is rich, you find this thing very attractive.
After achieving financial freedom, Xin Weiying suddenly realized that there was nothing wrong with becoming an outside disciple of Mount Hami, but rather it was very necessary.
We have to "struggle" for another twelve years!
Of course, Xin Weiying is a very cautious person after all. According to his self-evaluation, he loves peace and has no disputes with the world. If he gets involved in any dangerous mission for the sake of his status as a low-level noble, it is not worth it.
!
Therefore, Xin Weiying chose his current position after careful selection——
He came to the far distant Western Wasteland and became one of the guards of the "Xishan Tangku" in Hami Mountain.
This Xishan Tangku is a hub station for the integration and transportation of some of the most useful products in the Western Wilderness.
The Western Wasteland is inaccessible and full of miasma. It is indeed a first-class place of poverty. In fact, the miasma does not have much impact on the monks, but where the miasma exists, ordinary people will definitely be unable to gain a foothold, and the town's products will naturally be lost.
Speaking of which, one can imagine the lack of material things.
Among all the officials in Hami Mountain, this position was almost avoided by everyone; but because of its remoteness and safety, Xin Weiying chose it.
After Xin Weiying drank for a long time, his eyes narrowed.
In a flash, ten years have passed.
When I was choosing a job ten years ago, when I took the initiative to go to Xishan Hall, the Master of the Deacon Peak of Hami Mountain showed surprise and surprise especially now. He even secretly gave Xin Weiying a red envelope worth ten gold!
"Time flies so fast."
Xin Weiying murmured to himself.
Under the influence of alcohol, everything in front of him became hazy. The tall house, the virtuous wife, the exquisite carriage, the playful, smart and beautiful little maid seemed to become more and more real. One after another appeared in front of him, whispering around him.
"Enemy attack!"
A sharp sound immediately shattered the dream in front of Xin Weiying's eyes.
Then there was the sound of cracking boards, the sound of houses collapsing, the sound of gold and iron interlacing; and the distinct feeling of floating blood and energy - this is clearly the subsequent reaction of the collision of spiritual bodies - although there is no sound, it is the most sensitive thing for every practitioner.
exist.
All sounds and sensations hit Xin Weiying's senses at the fastest speed, making him suddenly wake up!
"The six chiefs of this treasury and the twenty-four guards should gather together quickly and step forward to defend against the enemy!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Another old, frightened and angry voice came, and Xin Weiying finally heard it clearly. It was the voice of the number one person in charge of Xishan Tangtang, Zhang Kuling Chunyuan.
Hearing this voice, Xin Weiying jumped up suddenly.
But with lightning speed, he moved the high-quality iron-wood floor beside the bed, revealing a hole that was not neatly dug but was obviously steep and deep.
Xin Weiying jumped down without hesitation, and then very dexterously borrowed the handrail under the floor to restore the iron-wood floor to its original position.
Beside the attic, two spiritual bodies were released, and a fierce battle was going on!
The strange thing is that one of the two spirit bodies is a half-body body, which is clearly the work of a Dingyuan realm monk; but the spirit body is broken and blurred, with only 20 to 30% of its appearance remaining. The other spirit body is just a
The arm was undoubtedly used by a Fusion Realm monk. However, this arm was complete and precise, and its solidity was much intact.
So even though they are separated by a big realm, they are evenly matched.
Xu Muyin's face was calm, and although there was blood spilling from his mouth and nose, every blow was extremely firm; although the light and shadow of the broken spiritual form made people wonder whether he would not be able to deliver the next blow.
Xu Muyin is a man who is both coarse and fine, brave and resourceful. However, people's minds have different opinions and ideas, and ultimately they cannot get along with each other.
It was not that he failed to calculate intellectually, but he put his ambition first and looked down upon life and death. However, he did not expect that someone would change his nature and do something that he would not dare to do or even dare to think about in order to live for tens of years.
matter.
So, he was injured.
However, after he regained his composure, he made the right decision every step of the way. If every step was correct, there would still be room for recovery.
During the battle, he accurately assessed the situation and used the secret method that only the most outstanding figures in the Dingyuan Realm could understand - Yin-Yang Transformation. Using the Yin-Yang level transformation, he won in one fell swoop!
On the surface, he withstood two blows, while Fan Chang and Mengjun each withdrew one blow, so it was definitely not worth it. However, Xu Muyin accurately judged that the two of them had only strengthened their Dharma bodies through the method of "combination of virtuality and reality".
Spiritual bodies; in terms of physical bodies, the decaying flesh bodies of those two people are far from comparable to mine!
This is his only hope for a comeback.
Facts have proved that he won the bet.
But the problem has not been completely solved. The trauma he has suffered now cannot be solved by adjusting his breath alone; he must take "Huan Shen Cao", "Bai Xu Cao" and "Lao Jun Zhi" within twelve hours.
There are three kinds of herbs. He has a lot of them. Huan Ginseng Grass and Baixu Grass are ready-made, but Laojun Branch is missing.
Fortunately——
Several kinds of spiritual herbs collected in the "Xishantangku" of Hami Mountain include Laojunzhi!
Logically speaking, stealing a piece of Lao Jun's branch without anyone noticing is the best strategy; but after he was seriously injured, his blood energy could not be controlled freely, so he was discovered by the Fusion Realm monks guarding here without any suspense.
Then just use force!
With each move and move, the old man with a long beard and chest opposite him turned red and gradually looked embarrassed.
At this moment, this treasure made Chunyuan extremely depressed.
At the moment of the fight, he saw the seven-foot dharma body and knew that it was a Dingyuan realm monk who had done it, so he knew that he must be responsible for it; it was just his responsibility and he had to fight to the death.
But he immediately discovered that the other party was actually seriously injured and was not much stronger than himself.
At this moment, Chunyuan's despair immediately turned into excitement——
Concentrate the power of the six chiefs and twenty-four guards of Xishan Hall, and we are absolutely sure that the future people will take it down!
Killing an enemy in the Dingyuan Realm, this achievement...
But after only three breaths, the excitement in his heart turned into despair again. Because after giving orders loudly three times, not one of his subordinates came! He immediately realized in his heart that when he saw the seven-foot Dharmakaya in the Dingyuan realm, how could his subordinates dare to pay close attention to it?
Look, they are like a mob, running away one by one.
Even though there are some manpower here, in fact, only Chunyuan himself is a direct disciple of Hami Mountain, and the rest are just like Xin Weiying, they are all recruited outer disciples.
Spiritual bodies collide again.
A "wow" sound.
Chunyuan spat out a mouthful of blood.
The last hope in his heart was shattered, and he could not hold on until the end.
As long as the opponent has the power to hit the next blow, he will die here.
The man in front of him obviously still had the power to strike one or two times.
The commander of the Xishan Tangtang Treasury used his last strength to hiss in despair: "Anyone who comes to help me will report it to Hami Mountain afterwards. Please be rewarded with a first-class reward and ten thousand gold!"
