October 26, the tenth year of the Great Jin Chengping.

On this day, it is the annual lantern festival in Wujun Mansion, as in previous years, led by the big people in Wujun Mansion, united with large and small families, chambers of commerce, and funded to hang all kinds of beautiful lanterns in every place in the city.

Outside the city gates, there was a long queue of crowds, and there was no shortage of admiring travelers who came to participate.

The so-called lantern festival is actually more like a prayer before the beginning of winter, and people hope to infect God with a celebratory and joyful atmosphere, so that the cold winter can be easily passed.

You must know that this vast land belongs to Youzhou, which is the coldest in winter, and it is many times colder than the winter in other states, so this kind of festive spiritual sustenance has become particularly important.

Besides, the people of this land don't actually have any gods, gods and the like.

Yes!

This can be traced back to the ancient barbarian period, the demon race took the human race as rations, which lasted for an unknown number of thousands of years, in order to resist the unjust fate, and finally under the efforts and sacrifices of countless ancestors and heroes, it gradually changed its status as food. Little by little, from scratch, they built their own tribes and cities, and their weapons went from stone to bronze to iron.

Finally drove the demon clan to the Kunlun divine vein and the endless mountains, and since then the human race has flourished and began to rule and dominate this land.

So...... In this long and boundless era of blood, there are no so-called gods and immortals to save them, they are sacrificing the sages, pioneers, and human emperors who have opened up a world for the human race.

It's them!

Leading the Terrans to regain their footing at the pinnacle of the world.

Because of the existence of Qi, people, in addition to sacrificing to their ancestors, believe in themselves more and believe that people will conquer the sky!

After a hundred years, the Lantern Festival has now become a traditional festival in Wujun every year, with a grand and lively scale, and the curfew has been lifted on this day, so everyone can play all night.

Over time, the Lantern Festival, the people of Wujun gave it a variety of rich meanings, and the people of this land believed that people would become one of the billions of stars above their heads after death.

It always shines on his descendants and descendants, because the stars are there day or night, and they will remain unchanged for eternity.

Of course, the most interesting thing should be to confess the person you like, Wujun Mansion is a river that runs through the whole city, unrequited love, crush, and even young people who have become a couple can fold their little wishes and small wishes and put them in the lanterns.

Water will take your thoughts to the person you are destined for.

So...... It is endowed with a variety of beautiful festivals, and the Lantern Festival, which is only once a year, of course, the people of Jun have great enthusiasm for it, and even many tourists from other states come all the way to participate.

......

To the west of the city, near a few streets around the Lee Mansion.

It's almost November, and although it hasn't rained yet, the sudden drop in temperature alone is enough for martial artists who have practiced martial arts for many years to wear an extra thick winter coat.

Several brothers of the Black Dragon Gang were flushed, holding paper lanterns of various shapes in their hands, and hanging the lanterns on strings and pillars on ladders, and the lively shouts and the smell of food wafting with the cold wind poured into their noses not far away.

"Brother Niuzi...... When our task is completed, let's drink some hot soup and make some snacks?"

A young man rubbed his hands vigorously, snorted heavily, sucked back the snot that was about to fall, and smiled at a strong man with a strong body and a fierce face.

"Look...... How about today, Mr. Liu said that we can have a good day off after we have done these things. ”

"Alright, I don't know what you little ghosts are thinking. “

The strong man called Brother Niu Zi hung the lantern on the ladder, jumped down directly from a distance of several meters, hammered the chest of the little young man, and scolded with a smile: "Cheng! Brother Niu Zi has a treat today, let's have a good meal." ”

"Good!

"Good!"

Suddenly, a lively hug sounded.

"Come and see, come and see, freshly baked buns, hot mutton soup. ”

After all, this is a good day once a year, relatives and friends, girls, sons, and foreign tourists will go to the street to buy something and eat something.

At this time, it depends on who has the most fragrant and smelling food, and whose shouting is louder! It's only morning, and when it gets night, it's really lively.

Restaurants, teahouses, and all kinds of stalls and vendors on several streets, each wearing thick winter coats, their faces were blown red by the cold wind, and they even wore sheepskin gloves on their hands when they were in good condition.

All the vendors who set up stalls in the vicinity, including restaurants and teahouses, from the shopkeeper to the miscellaneous Xiao Erquan are all family members of the Black Dragon Gang, or this place is home to all the gangs!

If something happens here, no one from the Black Dragon Gang dares to slack off, and public security is also the best place for Wujun!

A group of children from the school scurried around the streets, holding a few copper coins given by the adults in their hands, looking at all kinds of delicious snacks on both sides of the street, the steaming food could not even hide its aroma in the cold wind, and the tempting fragrance directly aroused the gluttony in the stomach.

I saw a child shouting loudly, and a few children from good families gathered together with each other, and suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers, and walked directly towards a stall.

Everyone ate the hot flatbread and soup, and the stall owner quietly increased the portion.

......

Wen Xuetang.

This is a school specially funded by the Black Dragon Gang, and today's class is a little gentleman, with a black blindfold on his left eye, a gentle smile on his face, and a cyan robe.

"Okay, that's all for today's lesson, if you don't understand something, you can always ask me. ”

"Class!"

A group of students stood up, bowed respectfully, and shouted, "Thank you, teacher, goodbye!"

Li Zhao's smile softened even more, and he watched his students walk out of the school one by one, for him, this is not only to train future protégés, but more importantly, in the future, he will be the enlightenment teacher of the young master's children.

In terms of teaching and educating people, he has now begun to work hard to improve!

The dark-skinned, tiger-headed young man quietly glanced at Li Zhao on the stage, and said cautiously: "Xiaoshan...... Aren't you leaving?"

Li Xiaoshan shook his head and said softly, "You go first." ”

"Row ......"

The young man bowed to Li Zhao again and hurriedly walked out with his bookbag on his back.

At this time, there were only two people left in the huge school, Li Zhao and Li Xiaoshan.

Xiaoshan took out a yellowed piece of paper from his book bag, came to Li Zhao's side, and handed the paper in his hand to Li Zhao: "Brother Zhao, you have a look." ”

"Hmmm......"

Li Zhao bowed his head lightly, stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it.

The content above is a piece of information collected by a person called the Hyena Gang, which is basically what the young lady of a large family likes, and which official who is afraid of the inside secretly keeps Xinna's concubine in which place, and so on.

It can't be said that all of it is useless, and some seemingly inconsequential little information still has a certain value.

"Not bad...... It's an improvement from the last time. Li Zhao praised.

Xiaoshan just nodded calmly, but Li Zhao carefully noticed that there was still a slight smile on the corner of the child's mouth, and he quickly pursed it.

"One thing in particular should be paid attention to, that is, confidentiality, you only need to contact Xiaohu alone?"

"Brother Zhao, I know!"

The so-called Hyena Gang is actually a tool for Li Zhao to train Xiaoshan. The Hyena Gang is a group of orphans from the slums of Wujun, and for these emaciated children who have no survival skills, huddles are often the most effective way.

And their gang leader is called Dong Xiaohu, one of the children who came to the slum alley with Li Zhao to distribute food, loyal and reliable, and his person in charge is Xiaoshan.

This kind of small gang will be inconspicuous, there are at least hundreds of such small gangs in Wujun Mansion, such as the Sparrow Gang, the Wild Dog Gang, etc., their role is to find out all kinds of information. Even the leaders of these small gangs don't know who they're working for.

These gangs are just the most ordinary intelligence offline, but there are countless of them, except for a very few people who know that there is the Black Dragon Gang standing behind them, and even more secretive is an intelligence organization called [Abyss].

It can be said that the establishment of this intelligence network has given Li Zhao countless ears in Wujun, and any wind and grass can hardly hide from him.

In order to cultivate more new blood, more orphans were adopted by Li Zhao, the younger ones were three or four years old, the older ones were seven or eight years old, and even eleven or twelve years old. These little guys, who have unfortunately become orphans for various reasons, have already been doomed, destined to sink into the mud and become 'prey' to be trampled by others.

It was Li Zhao who pulled them by the hand when they were on the verge of despair and changed their tragic fate.

They were fed and clothed, and even taught them to read, read and write, and to do arithmetic. These little guys regard Li Zhao as their reborn parents and have great respect for them.

Even those ground snakes with the deepest tentacles and the most powerful powers no one knows, in the secret of Wu Jun, there is still such a loose but absolutely well-informed network, and it has even radiated to the surrounding villages and other counties.

And at this time, there should also be a gang of the Black Dragon Gang on the side of Yuanye County, which will swell into a behemoth in a very short period of time in the future.

Behind this gang.

The intelligence organization called "Abyss" is growing little by little.

......

In the west of the city, the practice room in the backyard of the Li Mansion.

It is surrounded by soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion, guarded, and the outermost part is patrolled by the thugs of the Black Dragon Gang.

In the room, Li Xian was sitting cross-legged on the futon, and the long knife was floating three inches above the ground in front of him, and a red flame appeared on the surface of his body, scorching heat, distorting the invisible air, and dispersing the moisture in the air, like swallowing clouds and spitting mist, shrouded in mist.

His eyes were closed, and he was breathing, his breath extremely long, and the currents of air collided with each other in front of his nose.

Under the eyelids, the shuttle-shaped dragon pupils appeared, and one after another glowing black lins appeared on the surface of his body, forming a pair of black battle armor, and his temperament and body shape brought people a great sense of oppression.

The red flame floating on the surface of his body, a flash of flame suddenly appeared in the center of the flame, and in the blink of an eye, it engulfed it all, and a new black flame appeared in front of his eyes.

"This is because the power of the black dragon has joined in, resulting in a unique change. ”

After arriving at the Unity Realm, the biggest gain from the [Black Dragon] is that it can be transformed into a dragon, and to put it bluntly, it is to get extremely strong defense and strength and the use of wonderful power.

In fact, as early as the beginning, this kind of change had already begun imperceptibly, in his memory, it should have started when he killed the tiger in Yandang Mountain, but at the beginning, the stratum corneum on the arm was similar to dragon scales, and it was only tightly attached to the skin tissue.

The defensive strength is also okay, but every time he fights the opponent is either crushed, or he crushes others, and the effect of the scale armor is rarely seen.

After reaching the Unity Realm, that is, the stratum corneum on the body, which is similar to scale armor, has completely "evolved" into dragon scales, greatly increasing and strengthening.

Li Xian just imagined the appearance of the [Black Dragon] body in his heart, and the flames in front of him immediately changed.

A lifelike black dragon appeared in front of him, flying around him.

In the next moment, Li Xian stretched out his palm wrapped in scales,

"Boom!"

There was a dull loud bang.

I saw that the flame directly hit the scale armor, if you don't touch it directly, you will only think that this is a more advanced flame than the red flame, and the temperature is extremely hot.

But when you actually touch it, it seems to come from the flames under the Nine Shadows, and the fierce flames are indeed cold and piercing energy.

"If you really want to test the hardness of the scale armor, the best result is actual combat, but because of his style, the shot must be a thunderous blow.

So I can only test it myself,

Condensing flames scorched the scales.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths, four breaths, five breaths.

The scale seemed to have reached a point where it began to dissolve and disintegrate rapidly, and at the same time, a slight tingling sensation was transmitted to his brain by the sensory nerves as the scale smiled.

Because in essence, scale armor is also a kind of flesh and blood existence of his own.

But it didn't hurt as much as I thought.

Then, the flames vanished into the sky like a starlight.

Li Xian raised the shattered black scale armor in his hand, clenched his fist, and the qi and blood mixed with Qi surged in his body like a big wave, and the next second he saw that the scale armor began to repair, and then recovered as before.

Then, a trace of restless flames burst out from the gaps between the scales and armor, "boom". The whole person seemed to be bathed in black flames.

"Sure enough...... Actual combat is the best teacher. “

After a fight with that biao demon, Li Xian had a lot of wonderful inspiration in his heart for the use and development of scale armor.

The second is the flame, according to his understanding, it should be obtained from the blood of the creatures he killed, and the things that are ignited seem to be ignited by the spiritual power of resentment.

In essence, it looked extremely hot in the past, but the core flame inside was extremely cold, and the temperature it burned was much higher than that of the red flame, but it should be mixed with what the black dragon gave him, and it should be obtained by subtly changing his body in the early stage.

This is also the reason why when he was fighting Pei Biao at that time, he could instantly break his defenses.

However, at this time, the consumption is very small, because it is originally something on your body, that is, the physical strength will be consumed more.

However, the martial arts cultivation has reached his current realm, and the control of the body and mind can be said to have entered the hall, and he now understands what the [Black Dragon] that has been helping him is.

To put it simply, it is [inheritance].

By increasing your strength step by step, you will be able to touch and unlock more and more things in the inheritance.

Each stage has its own temptations and risks, such as the blood qi, which seems to be behind the super-fast regeneration of the golden cure, but it depends on whether you can keep your heart and whether you will fall into a tool dominated by power.

resisted, and there was a Jedi reversal hole card.

"Keep up the good work...... Strength!" Li Xian clenched his fists vigorously.

Now Li Xian, there is an inexplicable fire burning in his heart all the time, which is the craziest thirst for strength that comes from instinct, or rather, greed!

Before I knew it, the dim light outside had slipped through the window.
