After killing the leader of the mountain bandits, a group of minions fled in despair, and Yue Zhiyan was so frightened by this speed that he almost rolled his urine, and quickly knelt in front of Jiang Ming and Lin Han to beg for mercy, such a posture made people laugh.

"Two, wait, don't take his life", Dan Gong came surrounded by a group of guards, looked at the two of them and said: "You might as well ask who the leader of the mountain bandits is, why he robbed the road here, and it will also help us in our subsequent journey." ”

In the end, he is an old man, and he pursues a drip-proof work, if Jiang Ming's soldiers are parallel, he is afraid that he will be stabbed with a halberd, after all, he has no good impression of this kind of two-faced and three-knife person, although it is just to survive, but he left Mei Yuqi's convoy at the beginning, and later stayed away from Wohua Mountain when he was in danger, these things are not forgivable for survival.

Lin Han scolded: "Yue Zhiyan, forgive me for being a general under Luohu, I won't kill you for the time being, if you don't explain the situation of those mountain bandits in detail, don't blame us for being ruthless, after all, Jiang Ming can be regarded as your old friend, and he cares about these things." ”

Yue Zhiyan was covered in cold sweat, originally he thought that with his seventh-rank martial arts cultivation, even if he couldn't defeat Lin Han and the two, it would be more than enough to escape in their hands, but who knew that the leader of the mountain bandits was so uncarrivable, it was solved in just a few moves, and he was even weaker, wouldn't Lin Han and Jiang Ming be able to kill him with one hand?

Yue Zhiyan was even more nervous about wanting these things, and bowed a few times in succession, and said: "Thank you to the six commanders, thank you to the nine commanders, and return to the two commanders, the name of this place is called Tenglongling, and after this is the territory of the Tianxin Empire, because it is the border between the two countries, it does not belong to any party, so there are no soldiers from any country to come to garrison, so the Ximen Tiger pulled me here to fish for oil and water." ”

"Nonsense! I must know all this, what I want to know is the number of those mountain bandits, how many powerful people are among them, what obstacles there are along the way, if you don't answer the right question like this, be careful of your life. Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and scolded.

"Yes, yes, I'll say. Yue Zhiyan was so frightened that his heart was beating, and the corners of his mouth were already a little unclear, but he didn't continue to speak, but Dan Gong on the side asked, "You just said, what is the name of the mountain bandit leader?"

Yue Zhiyan said: "That person is called Ximen Tiger, it is the strength of the eighth-stage person, of course, it is not a ...... compared to the two commanders."

"Ximen Tiger?" Dan Gong's pupils constricted, and he said, "Let me ask you, is he a member of the Ximen faction?"

Yue Zhiyan was slightly stunned, and said, "Yes, yes, he is a member of the Ximen faction, and he has two hundred minions under him, all of whom are in the mountains over there......"

Lin Han looked at Dan Gong's shocked face and said suspiciously: "Dan family master, what's the matter with this Ximen sect valve, you seem to be very jealous of it?"

Dan Gong frowned, then shook his head, and said, "It's not a taboo, the Ximen faction is not easy to mess with." In the southwest region of the Tianxin Empire, there is a widely spread ballad of 'Ninety-nine disciples of Siemens, rather mess with the gods than provoke the West', this Ximen faction has a large number of people, most of them are evolved from the original big family, and it is said that there are ninety-nine famous Siemens disciples, but in fact, the number of them is underestimated. ”

"So many?" Jiang Ming pondered, "It's not like every Ximen person is an eighth-stage person, then even we can't deal with it." ”

Dan Gong said: "That's not it, it's just that there are many outstanding talents in this Ximen faction, and almost all industries in the southwest have their shadows, although there is no guarantee whether there is a connection between them, but in case of a powerful Siemens disciple, it will always suffer." ”

Lin Han didn't have a trace of frowning, and said, "Dan family master, have you ever been in contact with the people of this Ximen sect before, are those people easy to deal with?"

Dan Gong said: "I often went to the Tianxin Empire to do business before, so naturally I wanted to greet some people, and many of them were surnamed Ximen, but they were all little-known small people, not worth mentioning, because I was only in business, and I didn't have other contradictions with them, so I didn't know the details." ”

Lin Han said, "Yue Zhiyan, do you know anything about the Ximen Sect?"

Yue Zhiyan hurriedly said: "As far as I know, this Ximen sect is intertwined in the southwest region of the Tianxin Empire, but most of them have no intersection with each other, and even have a life and death feud, because their blood relationship is very weak, so there is no other thing to seek revenge for blood relatives at all." ”

Lin Han thought for a long time and said, "In this way, this Ximen faction is not too difficult, but it is better to pay more attention to avoid provoking these talents." ”

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly: "It's not enough that we haven't entered the Tianxin Empire yet, and we have already killed a Siemens disciple, do you think there will be less trouble?"

Lin Han waved his hand and smiled helplessly.

Although Dan Gong was worried that it would affect him, after asking Yue Zhiyan about Ximen Hu's appearance, he was also a lot more relieved, thinking that with his knowledge, he should know which people could still afford to provoke, after all, he had been doing business here for so many years before, and if he didn't have some support, it would be difficult to continue to do it.

After a little discussion, the group decided to continue on the road, and that Yue Zhiyan, Jiang Ming originally planned to stab him to death with a halberd, but Lin Han patted Jiang Ming on the shoulder and said, "Don't do so much killing, it's just an irrelevant person." ”

At this time, Jiang Ming reacted, Yue Zhiyan didn't actually do much hurtful things, but he chose to flee again and again in order to survive, this kind of betrayal was to a certain extent, and it didn't cause him any harm, the reason why he wanted to kill Yue Zhiyan was just not in his own spleen.

But that's the only reason to kill someone, isn't that far-fetched?

Jiang Ming patted his head, as if he was somewhat controlled by the strong sense of strength, even when he was in the Whale Falling Mountain Range, the Confucian Wen Yaliang said to him, "You are in the devil", he seemed to sense it.

After Yue Zhiyan was forgiven, he kowtowed and left, for fear that he would meet these two killing gods around the corner again, so he left in the opposite direction, and he didn't know where he went.

After another journey, it has been extremely close to the pass of the Tianxin Empire, and the shadow of the Tea Ceremony Pass can already be seen on the side of the mountain road, if you continue to walk, you will definitely be able to enter the pass before dark, but the sky is not beautiful, and it is snowing heavily at such a time.

Goose-feather snowflakes fell down, covering the mountains in half an hour, and the mountain roads became extremely difficult because of the heavy snow, and the temperature plummeted, and the carriages and horses were no longer suitable to continue walking.

In desperation, the group had to make up their minds to rest first, fortunately there was a dilapidated temple on the hillside, otherwise they would not know where to hide.

After Dangong's guards found wooden branches, lit a few fires in the ruined temple, and sealed the leaky doors and windows with some wooden boards, this small ruined temple was considered to be warmer, but because of the cracking of the roof tiles, some snowflakes drifted in from time to time, and it looked a little cold.

The group seemed to have prepared to put on their thick cotton shirts to resist the sudden cold, but one of them was still wearing a thin robe, which was naturally Jiang Ming, who had always ignored the weather, took a breath and exhaled again, as if he wanted to relieve the cold.

Lin Han smiled: "Let you pretend to be cool, it's freezing now, right? Don't look at me, I only have this one, and I'm afraid of the cold." ”

Jiang Ming looked at Lin Han with white eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't me, I'll grab it." Who knew that the weather of this ghost changed so quickly, but in Huangshi Town, there were not a few snows in the middle of winter, and the warmer Qin Dynasty was also like this, just entered the Tianxin Empire, and the climate changed like this, I really can't stand it. ”

Dan Gong said: "Zhu Tianye is actually a large area of barren and barren conditions, and the climate is dry and cold, and only the southern region of the Qin Dynasty will have the illusion of four seasons, you are from Wohua Mountain, that area was a famous summer resort a few decades ago, but this Tianxin Empire is diametrically opposed." ”

Jiang Ming said: "Dan family master, don't talk about this, hurry up and ask your guards, do you have any extra cotton shirts, borrow me to hold on for a while." ”

"This ...... I had ordered them earlier not to bring extra clothes, they shouldn't. Dan Gong nagged in a low voice, and then turned to ask those guards, and sure enough, as Dan Gong said, everyone only had the one they wore on, and it was not enough to keep them warm, so they naturally would not lend it to others.

At this moment, the soft Danchen rummaged in the luggage with him for a long time, took a robe, handed it to Jiang Ming, who was shivering with cold, and said with a smile: "Childe, I don't want you to have anything, at this time, I secretly carried my father's robe, which my father wore in previous years, although it is not too thick, but it should be able to resist some cold." ”

Dan Gong frowned, looked at his daughter and said, "You turned your elbow outward, and you didn't give me the clothes first, I have some doubts about whether you are my daughter who hurts." ”

Dan Chen pursed his lips and said, "Isn't my father dressed warmly?" I originally brought this to you, and now you have to blame my daughter and me, but I am thinking about our safety, and now the two sons are responsible for our safety, what if we are in danger if we freeze?"

"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you, just do it for you. ”

Looking at the friendly appearance of these two fathers and daughters, Jiang Ming and Lin Han also felt quite comfortable, without the constraints of that status, it seems that the elders and young of ordinary people do not need to be so rigid, just within the appropriate range.

Jiang Ming took the robe and said, "Then thank you Miss Danchen." ”

The snow is still inclining without feeling, this early snow is indeed too early for people in the southern region, but the Tianxin Empire has long been familiar with this cold, this is the north, the real north, the region closest to Zhu Tianye in terms of topographical characteristics.

Jiang Ming looked outside and found that the snow still showed no signs of stopping, and he couldn't help but sigh that the sky was unpredictable, but immediately, he felt that the snow was very beautiful, and his heart was extremely calm.

Everyone else has already rested, after all, it should be late at night, and those guards are well-trained, but after all, they will still be tired, and even Lin Han closed his eyes at this time, not knowing whether he really slept or faked sleep.

Jiang Ming glanced at Dan Chen and Yahuan, who were sleeping on the side, and then at the guards, and the two guards leaning in front of the door, Jiang Ming secretly greeted, and the two of them reacted, he said: "I'll go out and take a look, you guys are awake, you still have to be vigilant." ”

Jiang Ming took off the robe that Dan Chen lent him, still a thin linen robe, opened the door through a gap, and squeezed it out.

He was fine, but his heart was sometimes complicated, and he wanted to find a rare peace, and this heavy snow gave him a chance, so he walked out, walked around in the snow, stopped from time to time, picked up a handful of snow, and watched it slowly melt in the palm of his hand, silent.

Then he began to walk forward again, although this is the top of a mountain, but the place where the temple was broken is quite flat, and the woods in this area are also rooted on the flat ground, although it is still not possible to avoid slipping, but after all, it is better than going up the mountain.

Jiang Ming walked in it, and he didn't know what he was thinking, he just walked simply, as if he could feel the air flow around him. No, it's just ordinary wind.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes was very cold, and it spread to his face, but he didn't want to shake it off, his skin was always exuding an extremely high volume, so that even though there was only a linen robe on it at this time, he didn't feel any other cold.

If the cold were only an outward manifestation, then as long as his body was still emitting, and the amount of it emitted in each moment was higher than the temperature of the snow, then he would not feel this way, and this degree of paradox, he would often come to it, but this time he did not question it.

"Could it be that the so-called perception of heaven and earth is to adjust one's own breath to the unity of heaven and earth? What is the breath of heaven and earth, is it the air current, is it rain and snow, or anything? Or is it that all things in heaven and earth that are inanimate are those who can be seen as inanimate, and those who have life are the creatures of heaven and earth?"

"No, no, no, if you divide it from this aspect, many existences without wisdom will also be annihilated, I actually prefer to believe that there are spirits in heaven and earth, and these three walls and nine fields are also spiritual, but in this way, the meaning of the existence of heaven and earth is a little confused. Could it be that all the heavenly positions and positions are to be born in the realm of comprehension of heaven and earth?"

"It's a pity that I can't ask Senior Yequan, otherwise his cultivation will definitely answer my question. But it's okay, I'm like a migratory fish, I always have to imagine and make my own choices, otherwise the meaning of my life is a pool of stagnant water, if I don't have a spirit, even if the people of the world can bow for me, then what's the point?"

Jiang Ming received the image of the martial arts performed by Yequan with a huge amount of strength, and got a lot of essence about martial arts from it, but he also fell into a deeper doubt, whether to pursue his own truth, just like Wen Yaliang, who was determined to use Wen Condensation Dao, to implement his own thoughts, maybe it would be the real Tao.

That's right, he thought.

"Heaven and earth are all born because of me, the breath of heaven and earth is turned because of me, the three walls and nine fields are the three walls and nine fields in my eyes, if I die, the three walls and nine fields will no longer exist. ”

This is the existence of "bits".

He closed his eyes and began to feel the breath around him, in fact, he didn't feel anything at all, and the heavens and the earth never changed a little because of him, but he was searching, until he discovered, until he understood.

The snow fell silently.

The wind swept and lifted his linen robe.

His face was cold, and he didn't seem to be touched.

But at this moment, there seemed to be a trace of spatial fluctuations in the sinking air, and that fluctuation was extremely faint, even if a heavenly powerhouse came here, he would not be aware of it.

It was as if it had a hidden eye, quietly spying on the people in the snowy forest.

After a long time, Jiang Ming's body was covered with snow.

He became a newly sculpted snowman.

After a long time, Jiang Ming suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had seen something.

He looked around, feeling like he was being spied on.

"Fang Yuan Halberd!"

He whispered, and his body shook, and the snow fell to the ground.

"I feel as if I have realized something, but I can't say it, it seems to be a halberd, it seems to be a state of mind, it seems to be an understanding of the world and the world, in short, it is amazing. ”

Jiang Ming raised the halberd and began to swing it in the snow, move after move, as if there was an invisible opponent in front of him, secretly guiding and correcting the loopholes in his halberd technique, he suddenly stopped, and suddenly jumped up, like a agile ape, changing his position.

His body was no longer cold, and he felt an extremely rare joy in the snow tempering his halberd technique, and he was extremely pure at this moment, because he could only do this one thing.

After a long time, he gasped and stopped, although his mind could still keep up, but he no longer had any extra physical strength.

He looked up to the sky and laughed, and said to himself: "It's really interesting, communicate with heaven and earth, you can get something, I have been tempering in the realm of martial arts for a long time, before I smoothed out my martial arts foundation, and now I feel like this, but let me improve, I really don't dare to think, maybe I can really pass down this halberd method in the future, amazing." ”

"Although this halberd method I synthesized many of the previous perceptions, blended with the strengths of a hundred schools, but after all, it is not a great success, and when he has a complete move, it is a real martial arts, my heart is like ice, otherwise it will be called 'Bing Jian Wuhua', I think there will be a chance for it to shine all over the world. ”

At this moment, Jiang Ming heard footsteps, even if it was covered by wind and snow, he still felt it quite clearly.

I saw a person walking from behind the snow tree on the side, dressed in an ordinary cotton shirt, covered with snow, and even his eyebrows were frozen, he clapped his hands and walked away slowly, God seemed to be very excited.

Jiang Ming pointed the halberd forward and said, "Who are you, why are you spying on me practicing martial arts."

？”

The man hurriedly raised his hands, indicating that he was not threatening, and said: "I am a pedestrian on the trade road, I went to visit the relatives of the Qin Dynasty, and I was about to return to the Tianxin Empire. ”

Jiang Ming looked at this person for a few seconds, quietly put down the halberd, and said, "There is a broken temple, you just have to go in and hide from the snow." ”
