After a long day of trekking, the three people riding an elephant finally reached the border of the Zhou Kingdom. Since the three of them came to the Zhou Kingdom from the forest, there was no garrison of the Zhou army here, and only a few beacon towers stood in the field of vision of several people.

Gu Ming jumped off the elephant and pointed to the distance: "You walk all the way from this direction, and after walking for about an hour, you will see a city. That is a border city of the Zhou State, called Beacon City. ”

Yang Ruiyun took out the map he carried, identified the direction, and nodded to Li Qiutong for confirmation after clarifying his current location.

After seeing Yang Ruiyun confirm the location, Li Qiutong turned to Gu Ming and said, "Thank you Brother Gu this time." ”

"I'm just acting on orders, be careful not to reveal your identity in the Zhou Kingdom, the people of the Zhou Kingdom don't like outsiders very much. Gu Ming reminded.

"Understood, Big Brother Gu, see you in the future. ”

Gu Ming nodded silently, without much expression. However, for Gu Ming, who doesn't like to talk, he and Li Qiutong have already talked too much today. In fact, in his heart, he has already recognized Li Qiutong as a friend.

After bidding farewell to the ancient underworld, the three of them embarked on their journey again.

An hour later, the three of them finally walked to the gates of Beacon City. This border city of Zhou is located on the border of Zhou and Chu, and the whole city stands alone on this wilderness, looking extremely deserted. But there weren't too many garrisons, and most of the troops were stationed in Jietian City, which was next door, closer to the Chu State.

With the sparse crowd, the three of them walked into the Beacon City.

Standing on the wide main road, Li Qiutong asked the two, "What are we going to do next?"

"We'd better go buy some good horses, it's a bit of a long way to go. Yang Ruiyun looked at the map and said.

"Gollum, Gollum!"

"Shall we go get something to eat first. Deng Zhanxuan touched his screaming stomach and said.

"Let's go, I'm a little hungry too. Let's go have a bite to eat first. Li Qiutong also agreed.

Yang Ruiyun reluctantly put away the map, "You guys, but it's okay, let's go and ask if there is a market for selling horses in this city." ”

The three of them swayed and followed the fragrance to a restaurant.

"That's it, it smells good. Deng Zhanxuan swallowed his saliva and said.

"Go, go in. ”

The three of them sat down at an empty table, and Li Qiutong shouted inside: "Little Er, serve all your delicious food." ”

"Okay, I'll serve the food to the three masters right away. It was because he didn't have much business that he was bored, and he instantly came to his senses and hurriedly entertained the three of them.

Because there are not many people, after a while, a table full of dishes will be served, with all the color, flavor and flavor. Deng Zhanxuan also began to feast as usual, after all, after such a long journey, he was already hungry.

Yang Ruiyun suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly grabbed Li Qiutong, who was about to move his chopsticks, and said, "Big brother, do you have money?"

"Yes. ”

"Zhou Guo uses different money than ours. Yang Ruiyun added.

Li Qiutong picked up the bag, patted it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have all the coins." ”

Yang Ruiyun asked a little surprised: "Big brother, when did you become so careful." ”

"This is what I was prepared for when I went out of town. Li Qiutong said while picking up a piece of meat.

"If you don't eat again, you may not have it again. ”

Yang Ruiyun looked at the two of them who were full of combat power, and hurriedly said, "Third brother, slow down, leave me some." ”

However, the three who were eating and drinking did not notice a figure swaying towards them.

"Three heroes, you have a good appetite. A Taoist priest dressed as a Taoist priest, but with a delicate appearance, like a poor scholar, sat down beside the three of them.

"Who are you?" asked Li Qiutong with his head raised.

The Taoist priest smiled: "I am just a Taoist priest who travels the world, not enough to worry about, not enough to worry about." ”

However, a strange sound came from his abdomen.

The Taoist priest, who still looked like a master just now, could only smile awkwardly: "Three heroes, poor Dao has been shy recently, so ...... Hehe. ”

"Eat, eat, as long as you can grab it. Yang Ruiyun said helplessly, although he shot quickly, he really didn't eat as fast as the other two, so the result was that he had just eaten a piece of meat, and then found that a plate of meat was gone.

The Taoist priest who was allowed to do so no longer cared about his image, rolled up his sleeves, and began to fight. Its speed is not weaker than that of Deng Zhanxuan, the king of big stomachs.

A table full of dishes eventually turned into smooth plates.

"Look at you thin, but this appetite is very good, and it can be compared to my third brother. Li Qiutong, who was full, said.

At this time, the Taoist priest no longer had the crazy eating appearance just now, but pulled up his sleeve and wiped his mouth, and when he heard Li Qiutong's ridicule, he just smiled and said: "It can't be compared, I haven't been hungry for more than ten days, and I can't compare with the three heroes." ”

"Second brother, you say, will I become so thin even if I am hungry for more than ten days?" Deng Zhanxuan asked Yang Ruiyun.

Yang Ruiyun glanced at him, "No, I'll starve to death, you won't be thin." ”

"Haha," the Taoist priest laughed loudly.

"The three heroes are really humorous, and it is also fate for Poor Dao to meet you. In this way, the poor Tao will eat your meal, and he will not eat you in vain. If you have any questions, you can tell me, although Poor Dao is not knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, but he is still knowledgeable and talented, and he should be able to help you solve some problems. The Taoist priest said confidently.

Deng Zhanxuan was the first to ask, "What's your name?"

Hearing this idiot question, Li Qiutong and Yang Ruiyun were speechless.

"The name of the poor road is to let the sky go, let me go the world. What are the names of the three heroes?" Ren Xingtian said calmly.

"Your name is crazy, my name is Li Qiutong, the autumn of autumn, the tong of Wutong. It's their big brother. Li Qiutong also said.

"My name is Yang Ruiyun. Yang Ruiyun said simply.

Deng Zhanxuan also introduced: "My name is Deng Zhanxuan, the battle of battle, the Xuan of Xuanwu." I'm the third. ”

After a brief acquaintance, Yang Ruiyun also asked a question with an attitude of trying.

"I would like to ask you a question, do you think that the eight kingdoms today are mutually restrictive. If I want to completely wipe out a country, is it possible?"

After Ren Xingtian heard this arrogant question, he was not too surprised, but still smiled confidently: "Brother Yang seems to have not been in contact with the outside world for a long, long time. The current continent is really not balanced. As far as the poor road is concerned, one country will disappear from the continent in a year or two. ”

This surprised the three of them, they had been in the Nanban Forest for about a month, why did the mainland change the sky?

Looking at the surprised expressions of the three of them, Ren Xingtian continued: "A month ago, Bai Qi of the Qin State led an army of 100,000 to attack the Yueming Pass of the Han State, and he felt like he was sworn to die in the first battle. Almost at the same time, Lan Yuxiang, a veteran of the Heavenly Kingdom, led an army of more than 30,000 to attack the Song Kingdom, and now he should have captured a few cities. ”

The three of them were really stunned at this time, and they had only been away for a month, so how could the mainland be like this? For the three of them, it was as if they had come to a strange world.

"However, maybe this is just some small collision, didn't it happen often before? How can you say that a country is about to perish?" Yang Ruiyun asked in disbelief.

Ren Xingtian touched his beard and said, "The world has long had grudges, and it is just a little bit closer to the chaotic war on the mainland." Looking at the attitude of the Qin Kingdom and the Heavenly Kingdom that they will not give up, it is not just that they just want to occupy a few cities and grab something. It is a pity that the Han state itself was separated from its own internal affairs, and it was simply unable to make a strong resistance. As soon as the Yueming Pass was broken, Cao Cao would bear the brunt of the attack, and Cao Cao alone would not be able to last long, and the Qin army would definitely smash Huanglong. ”

"What about Song Guo?" asked Li Qiutong.

"Song Guo, haha. Not to mention that the two strongest pillars of the Song Kingdom were collapsed by themselves, and they were completely unable to fight against the Heavenly Kingdom militarily. In addition, it is said that Song Zong has no intention of transferring troops to resist the kingdom of heaven at all, and may still have the idea of taking money to eliminate disasters. Unfortunately, this time the kingdom of heaven is not here for money. ”

"This waste, the country is about to die, and there is no reflection. Yang Ruiyun scolded angrily. Although Song Guo's actions made him feel cold, and he even made up his mind to come back to take revenge, but what he hated was the Zhao family in power, and Song Guo has always been a place that his Yang family has protected for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to say that there is no emotion. Now when I heard that Song Guo was in such a crisis, I was naturally unhappy.

Looking at the angry Yang Ruiyun, Ren Xingtian guessed: "Brother Yang and Brother Deng are the people of the Yang family and the Deng family of the Song Kingdom." ”

"That's right. Yang Ruiyun did not hide it and directly admitted the matter. After all, the other party has already said this, and there is no point in concealing it.

"Actually, I admire the two generals Yang and Deng, the imperial court treated them like that, but they still took the lead in guarding the Song State, which is a real patriotism. We are not as good as them. Ren Xingtian sighed.

"Maybe that's what happened to Chungyeol. ”

Li Qiutong suddenly proposed: "Then we can actually join the Kingdom of Heaven." Second brother and third brother. ”

The two remained unusually silent.

Ren Tianxing explained: "It's not a good idea to join the kingdom of heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is now strong, and you will not be taken seriously after you take refuge in the Kingdom of Heaven. And for Brother Yang and Brother Deng, this is actually equivalent to surrendering to the enemy, and it is inevitable that there will be people who deliberately smear the credit of the Yang family and the Deng family. ”

"Yes, big brother, although we hate the Song Kingdom, I originally planned to go to the Land of Chaos instead of the Kingdom of Heaven precisely because we didn't want to be gossiped about by others. Yang Ruiyun also explained.

"Oh well. Although Li Qiutong wants to go to heaven to find Yun Luoxuan, his current brother is actually more worthy of his cherishment.

After Ren Xingtian heard about the Land of Chaos, he nodded and said, "Do you want to go to the Land of Chaos to be a mercenary?" This idea is not bad, with the strength of the three of them, it is enough to break into the world." ”

"How do you know that we are good, and we haven't fought. Li Qiutong asked suspiciously.

Ren Xingtian said with a smile: "Brother Li is really humorous, and in this world, you don't have to fight to know the strength of the other party." Poor Dao can guess a person's strength by looking at other aspects. ”

"Tell me, then, what did you observe from us?"

The Taoist priest touched his beard, looked at Deng Zhanxuan, and said, "The weapon behind Brother Deng should be the Xuanwu Earth Shaking Axe, one of the Four Holy Divine Weapons, and being able to use him means that Brother Deng has been recognized by this divine weapon." When Brother Deng reaches the Martial Arts Grandmaster, he will definitely be able to awaken the powerful existence in the axe. ”

Ignoring Deng Zhanxuan's surprised expression, the Taoist priest continued to look at Yang Ruiyun and said, "Brother Yang, as the descendant of the Yang family, the martial arts he has learned must be the Yang family's marksmanship." I heard that the strength of the Yang family's gun lies in the fact that there were once seven Yang family powerhouses condensing their souls in marksmanship, and the seven-style heroic soul condensation was not weaker than the normal martial arts condensation. I look at the sharpness of your martial arts, I'm afraid you have already mastered a few stunts. When your martial arts condense form, you will be able to directly break the saint. ”

"Second brother and third brother, are you so powerful? I don't know. Li Qiutong said with a look of surprise.

Hearing Li Qiutong's words, Yang Ruiyun suddenly smiled and said, "Tell me where my eldest brother is strong, right?" Yang Ruiyun, who was said cleanly, only hoped that Li Qiutong's strange beauty could give the three of them some face.

"As for you?" Ren Xingtian looked at it carefully for a while before he said with some surprise: "Wu Yuan is extremely thick, complex, and has a changeable aura. Poor Dao couldn't guess why. But with the strength of this martial arts alone, it is enough to be comparable to a saint-level martial artist. You are only about 20 years old. A twenty-year-old holy warrior has not appeared for hundreds of years. It seems that you are indeed the strongest of the three. ”

Li Qiutong didn't care about Ren Xingtian's evaluation, but asked, "What is a holy martial artist, isn't there only four levels of martial arts?"

"Didn't your master tell you about the path of martial arts?"

Li Qiutong shook his head, "I don't have a master. ”

Looking at Li Qiutong blankly, Ren Xingtian didn't know what to say at this time.

Yang Ruiyun and Deng Zhanxuan had expressions that they had long been accustomed to, and they were unmoved.

Ren Xingtian, who was speechless, could only explain in detail: "To put it simply, a holy martial artist is actually a stronger martial arts master. Generally speaking, when a martial artist cultivates one martial art and reaches the Martial Arts Grandmaster, he will choose another more complex martial art to continue his cultivation, constantly improving his martial arts artistic conception in order to reach the holy level, or a higher peak of the martial arts. Among them, the biggest feature of the saint level is that they can condense multiple martial yuan condensations at the same time, once again improving the condensation of martial yuan. For example, the most famous sword saint in the Qin State is after learning all the swordsmanship in the world, so that he has reached the holy level in the martial arts of the sword. Of course, it is not excluded that some people have learned top-level martial arts since they were young, and once they can practice to the grandmaster, they can even reach the saint level. However, this is very difficult, and only a true martial arts genius can do it. ”
