Chapter One Hundred and Four: Lanzhou

The vast desert, the dead sea of sand, outside the Cai Guo Pass, the loess is all over the sky, the wind and sand sweep the land, and the indescribable desolation. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info on this land, for thousands of years, I don't know how much blood has been spilled. Cai and Wei, countless generals and war horses, fought here, with the courage of the generals who died in a hundred battles and the strong men returned for ten years, they went on their own expeditions, and there were countless casualties.

However, this is Jizhou, this is the Warring States. The people can fight for a bite to eat, carry a big sword, and fight hard with those who have no grudges and no hatred. Dead, blood-stained battlefields, horse-leather shrouds, how desolate! In an era when human life is as cheap as grass, no one is an exception.

Hong Wu took the young man to ride a horse and jog, the smell of blood still lingered on the sand, and a suppressed emotion permeated Lu Jiewei's heart. The boy had never been out of Donghu City, and he had never been to this desolate and terrifying battlefield. The desolation and silence in front of him is like a sleeping beast that will wake up at any moment and devour everything.

"Master, is my father dying here?" The young man was dressed in a black suit, with a three-foot-long black sword behind his back, stained with blood. The young man looked at the yellow sand and unconsciously shed tears. In this world, the two people who love themselves the most have left one after another, and he is the only one left in the world who has to move forward silently.

When Hong Wu heard this, his cold eyes looked at the sky beyond the yellow sand, it was gloomy and dim, and even the sunlight was difficult to fall.

"Maybe this is where your father died in battle, or maybe not. In this era, if you don't have the ability to protect yourself, you can't even die anywhere. At the beginning, before Master Wenxuan took me into the mountain, he once said that since I have stepped into the immortal path, the things of the mortal world can be let go if I can let go. Today, I also give you this sentence, hoping that you will be able to practice well. "The fastest, the newer, the newer, the black, the rocks

Hong Wu sighed deeply, why didn't he understand the young man's mind. At the beginning, he was a few years younger than him, and he was lonely. Since he was determined to take the boy away from Jizhou, Hong Wu naturally had to teach him well. When you return to Fulong Mountain in the future, you will start anew. Retrograde cultivation of immortals, although the future is still uncertain, it is better than suffering in the sea of red dust and suffering.

When Lu Jiewei heard this, he lowered his head and was silent. After a long time, he said categorically: "The master's kindness, the disciple will always remember it." I think my mother's spirit in heaven will also be happy to meet the master. Lu Jiewei raised his head and looked at the black and oppressive city wall in front of him, and the border pass of defending the country was about to arrive.

This goes to the ends of the earth, hundreds of thousands of miles, and there is no turning back!

"Xiao Wei, have you memorized the mental formula that the master taught you? Practicing on horseback is also a kind of advanced kung fu. ”

"Remembered. Sitting on horseback, he can shake the muscles and bones in his body with the power of jolting and shaking, perform pile exercises, and cultivate internal qi. I am now able to breathe in unison with the horse, and my body rises and falls with the horse's movements, exercising my internal organs. Hearing Hong Wu's inquiry, Lu Jiewei immediately looked solemn and said his cultivation. In terms of practice, the young master Hongwu is even more strict and will not joke with him.

"Oh, it's been less than ten days to have achieved such an achievement, and it seems that your heart is very good." Hong Wu nodded in satisfaction and smiled. The reason why he chose to ride a horse was to teach the boy on the road and guide him to practice at any time. Second, I hope that young people can see more mundane things, joys and sorrows, so that their hearts can completely settle down. Although the world is a big dye vat, it is a good place to refine the heart. If you can get through the twelve canons before returning to the mountain, and even the eight veins of the strange scriptures, you won't be bullied by other disciples when you reach Fulong Mountain.

It is a hurdle for a Qi Refiner to go from an ordinary person to the peak of the physical realm, and it is another hurdle to go from refining oneself to building a foundation to refining and refining Qi. These roads are all on your own. As a master, he can only help and guide the maze.

"Well, your stamina is growing very fast right now. When you have cleared the twelve canons and your internal qi penetrates your inner body, I will teach you swordsmanship. Hong Wu took a deep look at the black long sword behind Lu Jiewei, and many past events came to his mind. This bloodstained black long sword was the original Juque Heavenly Peerless. It was he who flew over Dongnan Lake and summoned him from the bottom of the lake. After that, with the cultivation of the Fire Realm, the original half-zhang long sword body was refined to a normal size. This ancient divine sword has incredible power. The material itself can nourish the body, so that Lu Jiewei can carry it on his body all the time, and has the effect of increasing his strength. For this apprentice, Hong Wu has spent a lot of effort and energy in the past few days, teaching carefully, for fear that the young man will not be able to come out of the pain of losing his mother.

"Well, I know the master." The boy nodded respectfully and looked resolutely ahead. At this time, the horses had already arrived under the border city of the Patriotic Kingdom.

"Stop? This is the border pass of the country, Cai people avoid it, otherwise there will be no forgiveness for killing! On the city wall, some defenders had already seen the young man coming on horseback and shouted and asked. Between Wei and Cai, after many years of war, the people have long been cut off from each other. What's more, letting people from other countries enter the customs is easy to mix in with spies, so the investigation is particularly careful. However, Hong Wu didn't bother to answer, directly grabbed Lu Jiewei, flew up into the sky, and flew away from the border of the country in an instant.

Half a year later, the master and apprentice appeared at the foot of Qilian Mountain on the border of Lanzhou and Jizhou. And the southern part of the Qilian Mountains is the boundless sea. In the territory of Lanzhou, there are two major factions, one is the Yinshan Sect on the 100,000-mile Yin Mountain in the north, and there is the world's first old demon Ouyang Wentong entrenched, fierce and powerful, and looks down on the world's Daomen. And the Qilian Mountain in the south, there is the first major faction in Kyushu, Xuantian Dao. It is the most mysterious and unfathomable immortal cultivation sect in heaven and earth.

According to legend, the ancestor of the Xuantian Dao once cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Three Tribulations, and finally survived the thunder tribulation and soared in the day. Now all the major factions know that the Xuantian Dao probably has a lot of power in the immortal world, and no one dares to provoke this ancient Dao sect. Even Ouyang Wentong's invincible cultivation in the world did not dare to be presumptuous in Xuantian Dao. The disciples in the sect are also only active in the territory of the 100,000 li Yin Mountain. If it weren't for the suppression of Xuantian Dao in Lanzhou, I am afraid that with Ouyang Wentong's domineering, the major factions in Kyushu would have been disturbed.

Hongwu wants to pass through Lanzhou, so naturally he can't cross Yinshan. That is Ouyang Wentong's territory, he killed his descendants a few years ago, in case he stepped on the **** and was bumped into by the old demon of Yinshan, if he calculated it with Taoism, he didn't know how to die. And Qilian Mountain is different, Xuantian Dao is the authentic sect of Xianmen, and there will be no trouble along the way. Moreover, Xuantian Road is in the territory of Lanzhou Yan Kingdom, and Hong Wu chose to ride a horse and walk through here, and there is one most important thing to do.

His adoptive father, Hong Chou, entrusted him to Wenxuan, and then went to his hometown in Lanzhou alone. Now seven or eight years have passed, and there is no news between father and son, but Hongwu's thoughts are getting deeper and deeper. Over the years, after experiencing countless hardships, it is precisely because there are many unfulfilled wishes and many relatives that Hong Wu gritted his teeth and persevered. Now that he has arrived in Lanzhou, Hongwu's desire to find his father is becoming more and more eager.

"It's been almost ten years since I said goodbye, can I still recognize the tall back at a glance in the sea of people?" Hong Wu recalled his father's voice and smile in his heart, and finally stepped into the Yan Kingdom!

Half a year later, Lu Jiewei's body has developed very strong, and his thin figure has also become taller through conditioning and practice. The young man's gaze was cold, and his sword eyebrows were starry. Behind him, he was carrying a giant sky, and he was hunting in black, and he actually had a bit of a martial temperament. Looking at it now, no one would have thought that this man in black, with a delicate and cold face and a heroic posture, was the young man in the mountain village who was born by catching fish half a year ago and had a thin body.

"Master, the country of Lanzhou is really very different from our Jizhou. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous life, and Yan is worthy of being a big country in Kyushu. Lu Jiewei and Hong Wu walked side by side, their eyes swept over the scene on the street, and they couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity of Lanzhou Yanguo. Such a huge city, merchants coming and going, gorgeously dressed people, all kinds of dazzling goods, this is difficult to imagine in Jizhou.

"Hehe, Lanzhou is indeed different from Jizhou. On the coast of the South China Sea, the land is fertile and the products are abundant, and the people can naturally live a good life. Moreover, Yan Kingdom is the dojo of Xuantian Dao, the immortal sect is authentic, gathering the righteousness of Kyushu, and no demon dares to offend. Hong Wu nodded, and he was also deeply impressed by the prosperity of Yan Kingdom. Over the years, Hongwu has traveled all over the world and traveled to many countries. For example, the Chu State of Quanzhou, the Qi State and the Qin State of Yingzhou, these three major countries, with a population of tens of millions, are no worse than the Yan State in terms of strength. But these big countries all have a strong atmosphere of conquest, and the intention of killing is very heavy. Unlike the people of Yan Kingdom, they live and work in peace and contentment, play chess and drink tea, and prosper in commerce and trade, so they don't have to worry about their own safety at all. This is the real land of abundance, free from disasters and disasters. It is really rare for Yan to maintain such a prosperous appearance in today's Kyushu.

The master and apprentice walked and walked to the center of the city. This is the most prosperous area in Wuyang City, Yanguo, the flow of people is like a tide, there are tall restaurants and shops everywhere, and the shouting of hawkers along the street is also endless. Moreover, many people who fled from other countries would also beg here, and some would even perform juggling and martial arts to earn silver for two days.

"Master, look, there are a lot of people in front of you, it seems that you are watching people quarrel?" Suddenly, Lu Jiewei pointed not far ahead. Hong Wu followed his gaze and saw hundreds of people gathered in the middle of the street, talking about each other, not knowing what they were watching.

"My Buddha is compassionate, donor, poor monk to tell you. If you don't throw away this jade pendant, I'm afraid that disasters will follow. ”

"Dead monk, hurry up and walk away for me, this jade pendant is the heirloom of my Wang family, how can I throw it away." Folks, hurry up and save your life, this fat man has been sneakily following me all day, and I can't get rid of it......"

"My Buddha is merciful, if you don't believe it, the poor monk can only use it. Alas, in this world, how is it more difficult to save people than to kill people? ”

The sound of conversation in the middle of the crowd instantly made Hong Wu's face tremble twice, and the incomparably obscene fat smile of the fat lama Chen Kang appeared in his head.
