If we have not tried to face death, we will not cherish life, and if we have not experienced the darkness of destruction, we will not yearn for true light.

Jiang Ming lay in front of the battlements of the city wall, looking at the Jiaozhi Plain with his eyes stupid, looking extremely melancholy. Every breeze was enough to lift his brows, and every ray of sunlight was enough to indulge him.

Lin Han walked over quietly and said with a smile: "It turns out that you came here." ”

Jiang Ming didn't turn his head, squinted at him, and said slowly, "It looks like they've all recovered?"

Lin Han said: "Everything is fine, it seems that my body has become different." ”

Jiang Ming said: "That's good, get a little skilled in your body, after all, you've been lying down for four or five days." ”

Lin Han said: "Your elixir is really useful. ”

Jiang Ming said: "But they should all think that I was reluctant to give it to you, and finally couldn't stand their pitiful appearance, so they took out that pill for you." ”

Lin Han said: "Even if you don't save me, it's your duty, not to mention that you really saved me, don't care too much about their opinions." ”

Jiang Ming was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Naturally not, except for the enemy's small belly, I am still quite good to my own people, isn't it? If you hadn't suddenly found that Purple Cloud Pill at that time, you would really have hung up." ”

"It turned out to be called Fu Ziyun Dan. Lin Han repeated the name on his lips for a few words, and said: "Then I'm really lucky, I don't want to die yet, so you saved me, although there is no causal relationship between these two sentences." ”

Jiang Ming said: "Maybe there is." Tell me, what does it feel like to almost die?"

Lin Han smiled bitterly: "Even if you almost died, you have to talk about your feelings, you might as well experience it yourself!"

Jiang Ming turned his back, squinted at Lin Han and said, "I don't want to die either, I still have more things to do!" However, I should have been exposed to many checkmate scenes, but fortunately, I came back to life. ”

Lin Han laughed indifferently and said, "I actually want to know, do I need to pay it back?"

Jiang Ming said: "It's just a pill, just give money." ”

Lin Han said: "If it can be measured by money, then it's nothing, I won't pay it back!"

Jiang Ming glared at Lin Han and said, "You planned it, right?

Lin Han waved his hand and said, "Now that you have been saved, and the pill has been used, can you still burn it out of me?"

Jiang Ming said: "Count your good luck, if it was before, I would definitely have to blackmail you." ”

Lin Han said: "But this time there is no chance." That Purple Cloud Pill shouldn't be a mortal thing, right? I heard them say that the scene was quite strange after I took it, but unfortunately I couldn't see it. ”

Jiang Ming said: "It's really not an ordinary thing, but it's not an important thing, next time there will be a good look at the effect." But now you must be a lot different from before, right?"

Lin Han frowned and said, "It seems that you all know that this is the true effect of that Purple Cloud Pill!"

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "As the first half-step nine-stage master in this military camp, what do you think?"

Lin Han said: "I thought that my strength suddenly exploded, it turned out to be caused by an elixir, using foreign objects to improve myself, after all, it is not the right way, and there is nothing to boast about." ”

Jiang Ming said: "Don't you think too much, once the pill reaches a certain level, there will be no side effects, such as those secret elixirs that improve their strength by consuming life force, and the Purple Cloud Pill does not have those problems." If you don't believe it, just settle down and run the trick to break through the hurdles, the half-step nine-stage martial artist should also be able to accumulate spiritual breath, you can find out that those spiritual breath is not only not vain, but also extremely compact, it stands to reason that the average new half-step nine-stage martial artist will not have this kind of strength spiritual breath, which is the reason for that elixir. ”

Lin Han sank into his mind, and his spirit passed through his body and came to the position of the sea of qi, he was still unable to control his mental stay, and after a few adjustments, he could spy on a small group of breath at the position of the sea of qi, which was a pale yellow flow of air that seemed to have life, although there were only a few entanglements, but Lin Han could see its extraordinary place.

Slowly recovering his spirit, Lin Han was surprised: "This is all the effect of that Purple Cloud Pill?"

Jiang Ming said slowly: "The Purple Cloud Pill has the effect of building a foundation and cutting bones and washing the marrow, now your martial arts cultivation has become extremely strong, laying a solid foundation, expanding your perception, and improving your strength, if you are now a ninth-rank person, you may be able to reach the status realm by taking this pill." Of course, it's pretty good to be able to reach the half-step nine-dan now, at least I can't beat you. ”

Lin Han was silent for a long time, then raised his head suddenly, and said, "It seems that it is really a precious elixir." ”

Jiang Ming smiled: "You're enough, don't keep talking about it, what about my jade Ruyi?"

Lin Han took out the jade Ruyi from his arms and said, "Here, this jade Ruyi is also quite valuable, if you lose it, how much will I pay you." ”

Jiang Ming said: "During this time, you have to take Yu Ruyi with you, remember, even if you sleep, you can't put it down." ”

Lin Han said: "Uh...... I don't have the idea of coveting your baby, and I don't have that kind of fetish, so you might as well take it yourself!"

Jiang Ming was slightly stunned, it seemed that what he said was misunderstood, and he smiled bitterly: "I mean, you just took the Fuzi Yundan, and your breath is not stable, you need Yu Ruyi to help calm down, otherwise those spiritual qi may cause damage to your body, understand?"

Lin Han smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I'll take it first, then what are you doing here?"

Jiang Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, still looking into the distance, but there was no charm in his eyes, as if his soul had been taken away: "I, I miss her." ”

Some things can only feel how much they need after they are lost, and some people can only feel her tenderness after leaving, which once made him difficult to give up, and that kind of complex, remorseful, powerless emotions almost overwhelmed him. Odd books

Because Lin Han recovered from his injuries and his strength was also promoted to the half-step ninth stage, he could participate in the battle meeting again. At this time, the meeting was not simple, because it involved the entire pattern of Wohua Mountain.

Jiang Ming and Lin Han came late, and found that the other commanders were coming, and even the deputy generals of the various military camps were there, Huanziyu supported the injured Chu Hong, and he came to his side to talk, all of them showed a peaceful scene, only Liang Jin's face was solemn.

After Jiang Ming rescued Lin Han, Liang Jin's attitude seemed to have become more cordial, as if he was able to reach the level of treating Meng Lang and them. Liang Jin shouted: "Jiang Ming, I've been busy dealing with Lin Han's affairs these days, I don't know how your injuries are?"

Jiang Ming put on a flattered look, and said indifferently: "Fortunately, I have recovered for five or six years, if you need to fight, you must send me to play!" Jiang Ming said the truth, although the divine object agitation can treat his injuries, but it is impossible to achieve it overnight, in the first few days, he lacked mental strength, so the speed of recovery has also slowed down a lot, and it is already extremely good to be able to achieve this effect.

Yu Bushi said on the side: "I have heard the topic in the barracks for a long time, and the soldiers all say that you are not a normal person, and you can recover completely in just a few days without the need for medical treatment." I remember you came back from a serious injury five days ago, right? ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ming rolled his eyes and remained silent.

Liang Jin nodded, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said aloud: "Today's meeting is because there is a major event, and the reason why you don't know it is because I suppressed the news alone." But given the magnitude of this matter, I have no way of hiding it from you. ”

"In the past few days when the six commanders were injured and unconscious, news came from the dark vulture that two large armies of the Southern Barbarians attacked the headquarters of Wohua Mountain, and the Jin Hansuo Department abandoned the Four Seas City, and the barbarian emperor himself led the army to make peace with each other, and more than 50,000 horses attacked Wohua Mountain. Because my troops were all in Jiaozhi City, and there were not enough troops to influence that war, I returned to the mountain lord and refused to participate in this battle. ”

Lin Han frowned and said: "The barbarian army of 50,000 horses is attacking Wohua Mountain, even if our remnant army goes, it is impossible to help, the five commanders are injured and cannot fight, only the second commander is in Jiaozhi City, and his subordinates can fight no more than 5,000 soldiers, but they are not qualified to participate in the war." Even if the mountain lord blames, we have enough reasons, but we can't let the war go on, after all, in order to preserve our strength, we strategically retreated from the Cochin Mountains, so that the barbarians can take advantage of it. ”

Liang Jin sighed and said: "The mountain lord will not blame, after I sent my answer out, I immediately received an order from the mountain lord, which clearly stated that we did not need to go to the rescue, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the first battalion of Huyanwu, as well as 10,000 mountain guards and horses from the third battalion of Cheng Huan, and even the mountain lord's personal guards, let alone 50,000, even if 100,000 barbarians attacked together, it was impossible to take Wohua Mountain." ”

Luo Hu said: "I don't know how the battle is now? Since the barbarians are willing to send 50,000 horses to attack Wohua Mountain, they must have an important purpose, and they should also know that it is impossible to take Wohua Mountain in a short period of time, so what are they doing in order to do it?"

Liang Jin said: "The purpose of the barbarians is very strange, and there is no way to be clear based on speculation. I sent all the members of the Dark Vulture out to investigate from the beginning, so that we could accept the actions of the barbarians as soon as possible, as of noon today, the battle of Wohua Mountain came to an end, Huyanwu beheaded a barbarian general with an eight-stage position, the whole army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and greatly frustrated the spirit of the barbarians, under the command of the mountain lord and sergeants, the barbarians retreated to Nanguan. ”

"Okay!" Meng Lang snorted lightly and said, "The mountain master is worthy of being the Ninth Rank Grandmaster, and the military master is also worthy of being the first think tank of Wohua Mountain, after this battle, the barbarians should not rush to attack Wohua Mountain for a long time, right? ”

"That's not right!" Lin Han pondered for a moment, and said: "What is the purpose of the barbarian emperor? Wohua Mountain has a mountain lord in charge, no matter how exaggerated the barbarian emperor is, it is impossible for the barbarian emperor to be stupid to this extent, the barbarian emperor himself went out into battle, isn't he afraid that the mountain lord of the ninth rank will directly sneak into the barbarian camp and assassinate him? This is a war that can be seen from the beginning, but the barbarian emperor wants to go his own way, and the barbarian must have other purposes?"

Jiang Ming's expression tightened, and he said, "Could it be related to Chu Hong?"

"I, how is it possible?" Chu Hong said jokingly: "I'm just an ordinary commander in Wohua Mountain, and when the barbarians attacked Wohua Mountain, I was seriously injured and stayed in Jiaozhi City, how could I ......?"

Huanziyu on the side said coldly: "Naturally, it is related to you, the barbarians bothered to set up Jinhan all the way to the north of the barbarians, under the banner of wanting to kill you, and you were surrounded by barbarians alone in the Jiaozhi Mountains, which is enough to show that this war is related to you." ”

Chu Hong pondered: "Could it be that they are waiting for me to be seriously injured or fall before they can launch a big battle to besiege Wohua Mountain? What threat can I pose to them? It seems that you are all stronger than me, right?"

Jiang Ming looked at Chu Hong and said, "They are the Seven Empty Arrows that are afraid of you. If you judge the strength or weakness of archery alone, you are an existence comparable to the nine-dan human position, and in this battle, you defeated three martial arts masters who were good at archery with one enemy and three enemies, and gave full play to the advantages of the Seven Empty Arrows. The Barbarian Emperor should have thought of this matter early, so he wanted to dispose of you earlier. ”

Lin Han said: "The barbarians want to attack Wohua Mountain, and they are afraid that the eldest son's seven empty arrows will be blocked, in Wohua Mountain, where the eldest son can use archery to contain the barbarians, it should be on the mountainside of the handicap, the barbarians will definitely use martial arts masters to attack, if the eldest son is there, he can shoot all the enemies with only a few feather arrows." ”

Luo Hu said: "Hanzi, Mengzi, eldest son, you should know what is behind the handicap, it seems that the barbarians have long been premeditated, and they want to cut off the prosperity of Wohua Mountain, this move is too vicious." Lao Jin, what's going on with Wohua Mountain now?"

Behind the handicap is the source of luck in Wohua Mountain. No one will believe in this kind of mysterious thing, but as long as you have seen it, it will be deep in your heart. Mu Ya once used the dragon bone stone to check the luck in Wohua Mountain, which was a thousand-zhang long earthy brown gathering, and even represented the prosperity of the country to a certain extent. If one group of Wohua Mountain is allowed to occupy it, I am afraid that there will be an obvious split in the world in the near future, and the period of ruin of the Qin Dynasty is approaching.

Jiang Ming said in a low voice: "It turned out to be the problem of that dragon vein, it seems that they all know it, but it shouldn't be clear how huge that dragon vein is, the ambition of the mountain lord of Wohua Mountain is in the whole world, and he is afraid that he can completely swallow the fortune of the Qin Dynasty." But I still don't want to tell them about this, if it may make them have a disagreement with Zong Kun, they are currently in Wohua Mountain, and the battle for luck has nothing to do with us. ”

Liang Jin sighed lightly and said: "As you think, the purpose of the Barbarian Emperor is to destroy the luck of Wohua Mountain, the mountain range is the condensation attachment of luck, they will definitely find a way to use the giant crossbow to penetrate the interior of the mountain range and cause the collapse, if the eldest son can hold an arrow at the handicap, he can attack the direction of the seven empty arrows with a large number of giant crossbow arrows." And each giant crossbow arrow takes about ten minutes to shoot, and the mountain road outside the handicap can only allow one giant crossbow machine to occupy the mountain road, as long as the eldest son can play normally, delaying three giant crossbow arrows, the barbarians will have no way to achieve their goal. It's a pity that we didn't see the barbarians' tricks as soon as possible, and the eldest son was seriously injured and couldn't move, which caused a huge loss to Wohua Mountain. ”

Jiang Ming said, "What happened?

Liang Jin said: "No, the mountain lord made a timely move to preserve the luck of the mountain range, but the mountain lord was also injured because of this, and Wohua Mountain lost more than 5,000 elite soldiers." ”

Chu Hong said stupidly: "Just because I'm not here, there are so many casualties? Although I feel that I am very important for the first time, I don't want to tell me at this price, I don't know how many people near Wohua Mountain have suffered from the disaster of pond fish?"

Lin Han said: "There is no need to blame yourself so much, the barbarians can see through the gathering of luck in Wohua Mountain, so they are naturally well prepared." We have been calculated by them, even the military advisors have not seen the clues, it seems that the barbarian emperor is by no means as incompetent as rumored, and he will be more cautious in the future. ”

The man on the side said, "A few commanders, the so-called luck is too mysterious, isn't it? Even if these things really exist, how do the barbarians find out their location?"

People who have not witnessed the real qi veins present will have such doubts, this kind of mysterious existence, but can make a region wind and rain smooth, so as to attract more people to follow, Wohua Mountain can develop to this point in just a few years, in addition to the banner thought they set up, but also has a huge connection with the dragon of luck, if one day the dragon of luck is destroyed, Wohua Mountain will no longer have the possibility of turning over.

Liang Jin said: "Luck this thing, you can't see it or touch it, it's hard for me to explain, the area where Wohua Mountain is located is by no means simple, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a blessed land, I can't explain it to Mr. Yu, because the discussion of luck may be empty in itself, and it is said that only the strong people above the status realm can see the true appearance of luck, and we just heard what the mountain lord said." ”

Yu Bu nodded lightly, and said to Jiang Ming, "Do you believe this statement of luck?"

Jiang Ming laughed in a low voice: "If I say I've seen it, do you believe it?"

Jiang Ming glanced at him and said nothing.

Liang Jinhong said: "This war can be said to be our defeat in Wohua Mountain, in the future the mountain lord and the military division will definitely play a strategy to retaliate tooth for tooth, the soldiers and civilians who were killed and injured in the war, someone will hold a gun and a halberd to avenge them." The Eagle has sent a message from the Mountain Lord, ordering us to actively expand our army, restore our combat strength to the peak level, and wait for the order to repel the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Liang Jin has the ability to inspire the morale of the army, at this time, the deputy generals are rubbing shoulders, and they are about to go to the battlefield with their weapons, Jiang Ming saw it in his eyes, and did not say anything.

Liang Jin said: "Our main task now is to recruit troops, and now that the barbarians have evacuated Sihai City, the officials of the Qin Dynasty have not gone there, and the people of Sihai City have been terrified and difficult to survive under the plague. If we can rescue the people of Sihai City, we will definitely be able to win their joy, and then our army source will be settled!"
