Rumble!

A trap beast leaped out of the dragon vein barrier, and then fell to the ground on all fours.

At that moment, a cloud of transparent water vapor emerged from below, catching the falling trap beast like a sponge, causing it to land smoothly.

"Hey—why did Ziqiao's trap beast suddenly get out of control?" A woman's puzzled voice came from among the trap beasts.

"The outer region is not affected by the dragon vein, and the effectiveness of the exercise treasure is more than ten times that of the inland. A deep voice explained.

"The core of the Trap Beast may not have been modified for the Outland environment, and may be paralyzed. ”

"What can we do? We don't have a trap beast to get around, so we're going to have to slow down. "The woman is embarrassed.

"Don't be bound by the experience of the outback. The efficiency of the transport here is several times that of the inland, and it doesn't take us long to run there. ”

……

After a brief discussion again, the group of five decided to put away the trap beast and travel lightly.

"Ah, is this the air of freedom...... How can there be a smell of blood!" As soon as the blue-robed woman who came out of the trap beast first expressed her emotions, she was dizzy from the strong bloody aura, and her face hit the ground first.

After the other four learned their lesson, they immediately equipped their gas masks and carefully crawled out of the trap beast.

What presented them was a very different picture of the interior.

The withered trees, the gray hills, and the gloomy and stagnant air all indicated that there had been a great battle here, but what impressed several people the most was the blood-colored air strip that stretched across the sky.

The moment they saw it, the five of them felt a sad aura at the same time, an atmosphere that was both fearless and faintly unwilling spread around, soaking everything.

While they were still immersed in this atmosphere, a Yunlu language suddenly sounded in their ears:

"'Iron Palm Open Monument' Chiliantai, 'White-faced Owl' Ma Lilan, 'Iron Monkey' Tang Ze, 'Mai Ke' Ding Gan. A few of you came so fast!"

The five of them were startled, and when they looked around, they saw a man in gray standing in the bushes in front of them talking to them.

The gray-clothed man was handsome, star-eyed, with long black shawl hair with white highlights, but he was only one meter six tall, and he was wearing a monk's shirt similar to the color of the trees.

Chi Liantai, the leader of the five, coughed unnaturally and said, "Your Excellency is-"

"In Changpan County, Xiaying Prefecture, a disciple of the natural flow of reason, Kimura Takumi is also. The man in gray straightened up and bowed.

Yingzhou, Changpan, Natural Rational Flow?

Hearing the origin of the man's name, the faces of the five changed slightly.

Among the 36 prefectures, Fanzhou in the Western Regions, Hanzhou in the Northern Regions, and Yingzhou in the Eastern Regions were all new lands incorporated into the interior before the Restoration. These three states are not only the benchmark and testing ground of the Restoration, but also the areas where the contradiction between the old and the new is most intense.

Taking Yingzhou as an example, because it has been deeply influenced by the Hundred Schools of Thought and Shinto preaching for thousands of years, the region has established a bushido system that combines martial arts, the art of war, Shinto, and science. This system attaches great importance to honor and the precepts of the monarch and ministers, and advocates the "righteousness" of respecting the emperor and loyalty, and downplaying the life and death of individuals. This once made Emperor Wu believe that the Yingzhou warriors could become a sharp knife for the Restoration.

It's a pity that after the opening of the Restoration, the development of Yingzhou was unexpected.

Under a series ......of beautiful appearances such as "bravery, benevolence, and loyalty" in bushido, what is reflected is ferocity, ignorance and even madness!

Combined with Shinto's concept of "going to heaven after death" and traditional science of "preserving heaven and destroying human desires", samurai were mentally disregarded for their own lives and the lives of others, and often acted against human nature in their actions.

Seeing that this sharp knife swinging at the enemy gradually turned into a magic knife that hurt others and himself, Emperor Wu had to use the Eastern Regions Protectorate to forcibly control it. However, it also gave his enemies an opportunity!

The Yingzhou samurai group was split in two under the opposition's intervention, and the big state, which was supposed to be a weapon of the Restoration, finally fell into a quagmire.

Today, the Yingzhou samurai are divided into two major factions according to the traditional science and the new school of the martial emperor. One is to emphasize order, emphasize loyalty, and preach collectivism; the other is to advocate the unity of knowledge and action, believing that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man.

The self-proclaimed natural flow of reason is a very eye-catching new school of bushido in the quagmire of Yingzhou.

The dojo is adjacent to the Matsushita Academy opened by Yoshida Matsuyo, a great Confucian in Yingzhou, so it has a unique atmosphere that is different from other bushido schools...... The successors of its school are not only both civil and military, but also inherit the ideas of Yoshida Matsuyo.

"It is rumored that the Sea Cliff Mansion City, which is closest to Stone City, has recently opened a natural rational flow dojo, is the person in front of you the master of that dojo?"

Chi Liantai thought in his heart, and couldn't help but say tentatively: "But the jade-faced swordsman who opened a museum in that Sea Cliff City to teach art?"

"It's not a jade-faced swordsman, it's a mad nobleman. Kimura objected, but nodded in the affirmative.

"Oh, it turned out to be a crazy noble son who shook Qiongya! When I saw it today, it really deserved its name. ”

"Where, where, compared to the name you have won for the elimination of violence, the name below is not enough to worry about. ”

……

After a routine exchange of rivers and lakes, Chiliantai inquired about Kimura's purpose.

According to Kimura, he and a few friends from the dojo wanted to leave the city yesterday. Who would have thought that on September 11, the whole city would be locked down. The prefect of Sea Cliff led a group of civil officials to block the city with the magic power of literature and Taoism, and there were garrison officers and soldiers blocking the roads in all directions, so the Sea Cliff monks closest to Stone City could only enter and not leave.

Fortunately, the dragon veins changed in the middle of the night, and the golden dragon that blocked the night sky terrified the whole city, which allowed them to find an opportunity......

"I was attracted here by the dragon vein mutation, but I didn't expect that there were many traps. ”

"But thanks to this, I have escaped the pursuit of a group of eagle dogs. ”

"What about your friends?"

Kimura showed a helpless expression: "They were too reckless, and accidentally entered the trap in front of them, and then they came back here to ask for help." ”

"I see that the qi machine around your body is lurking, and you must have already reached the realm of heavenly martial arts that soared into the air. ”

"If you go back to the city to ask for help after such a cultivation, what will you do with a few of us?"

"Your Excellency, let's go back to the city and ask the strong man of Wuzun to make a move, I have something important to do, so don't pass it for the time being." ”

Chiliantai and several people are bent on looting the relics of the strong, how can they have the leisure to care about the rivers and lakes to save the emergency. Speak to death right now, and prepare to leave.

Seeing that the five of them turned around and wanted to leave, Kimura suddenly pulled out a wooden knife from the cuff storage bag.

With a "clang", the wooden knife that was drawn out with a special technique made a piercing sound.

"The name of this knife is Toya Lake, three feet three inches long, and the net weight is seven catties and seven taels......" Kimura's eyes were wide open, and his face was solemn, with his tall figure like a pine and cypress, there was an inexplicable momentum.

Does this Yingzhou warrior want to fight? It seems that we are the ones who toast and don't eat and drink!

Chiliantai, Ma Lilan and the four of them looked at each other and decided to give this stranger a lesson that he would never forget.

There are no more than 10,000 monks in Qiongya County, and they can be the first to come from Qiongya County, in addition to the trap beast provided by Bai Fumei named Ziqiao, their own strong combat power is also an important factor.

As a well-known adventure team in Qiongya County, the four of them are not only fourth-order monks, but also have a set of combined attack tactics that can give full play to their own advantages. This set of tactics can not only fight against several times the number of cultivators of the same rank in the interior, but also against the powerhouses of the fifth order. If it weren't for this ability, the trap beasts of their group would have been destroyed by the monks along the way.

Just as the four of them were in a stance, Kimura unexpectedly lowered his head and raised the wooden knife flat.

"This knife is a limited replica of the famous treasure of the four demon tribulations, the demon knife 'Star Crush', and it is a knife made from a 10,000-year-old 'King Kong tree' that grows on the border, so it can be destroyed by both rocks and meteorites. ”

"If you can rescue your companions, I'll give you this super powerful 'Lake Toya'. ”
