Chapter 401: Stone Village Stonemason
The remaining few people saw that the giant man was also killed, and when they saw that the situation was not good, two of them turned around and ran.
But the woman didn't give them a chance to escape at all, and she was very fast, and after catching up, she couldn't help but say that under the same two swords, she killed the two people.
"Eldest sister, spare ...... life"
When the last man saw that this woman was killing people, he was like chopping melons and vegetables, and at the same time he was very ruthless, and in fear, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Swish!
However, the woman was extremely ruthless, even though the other party knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, she did not intend to let him go, so she raised her sword and fell, but the man was still killed by a sword, and his head fell to the ground.
Zhimo was a little surprised, and said: "When this woman kills, her eyes are so cold and ruthless, and she doesn't look like she is jealous and hateful......"
Li Xiangnan looked at the scene of the woman killing people, with a hint of amusement in his expression, and said: "This is a female killer, maybe she will look different after the killing......
As Li Xiangnan expected, when the female killer killed all the people who were molesting the horny women, she walked up to the victims, and the expression on her face was no longer so cold, and she comforted the women very gently.
"Let's go!"
Li Xiangnan saw that there was nothing wrong, so he greeted Zhimo, and the two walked directly through the village and continued westward.
However, when Li Xiangnan and Zhimo left, the female killer couldn't help but glance a few times in the direction where the two of them left, and after settling the women away, they also headed west.
……
Li Xiangnan and Zhimo went all the way west, passing through many villages. You can see some traces of the fight.
In the end, the Mingxiao Sect is a great sect that has been inherited for hundreds of years, although it is gradually declining, but after all, it is still a big tree with deep roots, and its sphere of influence is also very large, which is not comparable to the Medicine King Sect and the Chiyang Sect.
This time, the Nine Great Sects attacked the Mingxiao Sect, and when it was chaotic, the territories under the jurisdiction of these Mingxiao Sect forces would also be in chaos.
After all, the interests are moving, and some small forces take this opportunity to annex the territories where the Mingxiao Sect is unmanned, and some directly plunder these territories by force.
This is where this happens. So Li Xiangnan and Zhimo saw no less than dozens of fights along the way.
Especially within the traditional sphere of influence of the Mingxiao Sect. Because some disciples of the Mingxiao Sect saw the general trend and even the head of the sect fled, some of them returned to their homes in private to protect their families from being robbed by others.
But. Those disciples of a noble and decent family. It will not be used against ordinary people. They just came to take over the territory, put these territories under the jurisdiction of the sect forces, and would do something to appease the people.
But there are some heresies or underworld forces. But he took this opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob and plunder all kinds of resources on the territory of the traditional forces of the Mingxiao Sect, and those ordinary people naturally would not let it go.
It's just that such a situation is inevitable.
When the big tree of Mingxiao Sect fell, the temptation of its huge interests would naturally make many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods come out to devour these interests, taking the opportunity to make a big profit.
However, for these things, Li Xiangnan and Zhimo didn't pay attention to it.
Soon, they came to the vicinity of the area between the Western and Southern Regions where a spatial passage might appear.
The land in the Western Regions of the Secret Martial Arts is barren and the resources are scarce, most of the areas here are hills and desert areas, and the big mountain that runs through the east and west has also become a bare stone mountain here, and the green plants on the mountain are rare.
There is also a small village near the water source in this area, and most of the stone houses are built, which from a distance look obviously different from other places, and the style characteristics are also a little different.
After Li Xiangnan and Zhimo came to this stone village, they could easily exchange a bag of grain for a stone house near the stone mountain.
The house was a bungalow, empty except for a stone bed, a stone table, a stone stool, and some stone-made utensils.
However, Li Xiangnan and Zhimo did not plan to live in this stone village for a long time, they only had a place to settle down temporarily.
This stone village belongs to the southeasternmost part of the Secret Martial Arts Western Regions called the Long Knife Sect of the Secret Martial Arts Sect, this small force is also good and evil, extremely low-key, on the occasion of the destruction of the Mingxiao Sect, they also took the opportunity to consolidate their power, expand their territory, and gather some people to expand their strength.
Although this Long Dao Sect did not recruit or surrender some of the highly qualified disciples in the Mingxiao Sect into the door wall like other major sects, it also absorbed some of the ordinary lower-level outer disciples of the Mingxiao Sect.
This is also the time of the demise of the Mingxiao Sect, if the disciples in its sect plan for their own long-term considerations, they will make a choice, some have excellent qualifications and will join the big faction, and some are average, naturally they also need to have a reliance, in addition to improving their strength, they also have to live, and they also rely on serving these forces to support their families.
It is precisely because the way of survival and martial arts in the secret martial arts sect are different from the earth, that the disciples in each sect are more free to choose.
In the major sects, except for the inner disciples and core disciples, they are not allowed to betray the master, and those outer disciples and miscellaneous disciples, because they only work for the sect, or do some miscellaneous work, do not have access to the core exercises of the sect, so when they want to leave the sect, they can also apply to leave through guò and then join other sects, and generally the sect will not interfere and stop it.
Therefore, when the Mingxiao Sect falls, those disciples from the outer layer will definitely not participate in the battle, and will disperse as birds and beasts, and be absorbed by other large and small sects.
But it is precisely because the entire secret martial arts sect is constantly sucking blood on the big tree of the Mingxiao Sect, which also accelerates the defeat process of the Mingxiao Sect.
On the second day when Li Xiangnan came to Stone Village, he heard people talking all over the village, and it only took nine days for the various sects to escape, and the entire Mingxiao Sect was completely disbanded when Su Weidao, the head of the Mingxiao Sect, fled, and the dragons were leaderless.
After the collapse of the Mingxiao Sect, some of the inner disciples and core disciples in its sect were absorbed by the various sects.
The other part was taken away by the elders of the Mingxiao Sect, declared independence from the Mingxiao Sect, and after occupying a territory, they set up a small force again, and the major sects would not attack again.
In the Mingxiao Sect, the disciples were scattered, and many elders led the disciples to split and separate, and set up a separate portal, and the resources on the Ming side of the Mingxiao Sect were also divided by the major factions.
At this point, the Mingxiao Sect was completely destroyed.
Li Xiangnan didn't pay attention to this matter, because he knew that the demise of the Mingxiao Sect was inevitable, and there were many ways to promote it.
Not to mention that the entire Mystical Martial Arts Sect has pressure from the Earth forces, because the last time the Earth side put pressure on the Twelve Sects to eliminate the unregistered illegal forces, coupled with the fact that there was no unity within the Secret Martial Arts Sect, there was an undercurrent surging.
Therefore, under such pressure, the various sects really can't find a good breakthrough point, and can only temporarily make peace with the earth.
However, since the appearance of the secret realm spy in the Mingxiao Sect, and the secret that has been controlled by a secret realm spy for fifty years has been exposed, this has given the entire secret martial arts sect a very good opportunity, plus the earth Huaguo has already customized the policy of dividing and destroying the Mingxiao Sect.
Although the policy of this Huaguo is highly confidential, some sect forces can still see some clues and detect some clues, and the secret exposure of the Mingxiao Sect this time, coupled with the fact that some of them are fueling the troubles, makes this matter a matter of course, when all the attention and focus are on the Mingxiao Sect, then the pressure on other aspects will also be eased.
At least from the perspective of Huaguo, the significance of destroying a Mingxiao Sect is far greater than the purging plan carried out against the small forces in the Mystical Martial Sect, and the significance is very important.
In fact, after Li Xiangnan contacted Wang Aiguo, Song Xinfeng and other people, it can also be seen that Huaguo attaches great importance to the matter of destroying the Mingxiao Sect, and at the same time shifts the focus to this matter, which delays the purge plan and makes the major factions breathe a sigh of relief.
At least in the short term, the purging plan has a Ming Xiao Sect with a black cauldron behind it, acting as a substitute for the dead ghosts, and the other factions can relax a little, so that there is time to speed up the pace of integration.
However, the background of a Mingxiao Sect is still relatively deep, and he is only nominally extinct now, and there are many follow-up things to divide interests and ramp up, which is not what Li Xiangnan is concerned about.
Since the third day of coming to this stone village, Li Xiangnan has targeted a stonemason in the village.
This stonemason's name is Shi Yuan, about 60 years old, and he is also a skilled craftsman, and he has a stone tool workshop in his home, and most of the stone tools in the surrounding area come from this stone tool workshop.
In particular, the stone tools polished and carved by this stone source have many unique styles and characteristics on the earth, and Li Xiangnan guessed that its people should have entered the secret martial arts gate during the Republic of China period on the earth.
In fact, Li Xiangnantonggu's investigation of this stone source has roughly confirmed that the real name of this stone source is Shi Zhiqiang, and he is one of the members of Xiao Yesha's exploration team.
This man's stone workshop is relatively close to the mountain behind the stone village, and the sound of carving and polishing can often be heard at night.
This workshop has not been opened for many years, only about two years, but the stone tools produced are quite popular with the ordinary people in the surrounding area, so the business is quite good.
When Li Xiangnan was wandering around the village, he came to this workshop.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see that there are many stone tool models in the hall, which are very exquisite, Li Xiangnan knows stone tool carving, and can naturally see the extraordinary points of his knife work.
A middle-aged man under the age of forty was polishing a set of finished stone tools in the back hall of the shop, and when he saw a guest coming, he got up and asked, "Guest officer, what stone tools do you want?" ”
Li Xiangnan went straight to the point and said, "I'm looking for Master Shi!" (To be continued......)
