The old man looked at Li Beixiang with a mysterious expression, and his eyes were full of strange light.

Li Beixiang looked at the old man, frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "How did he know about this?"

"How do you know?"

Li Beixiang asked in a low voice.

"Hahaha, is there anything in this world that the old man doesn't know? In this world, there has never been something that can be hidden from the old man. ”

The old man waved a large cigarette pouch and said confidently.

"I'm here because of you. ”

The old man patted Li Beixiang on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"For me?Why can't I understand?!"

In fact, Li Beixiang was also very puzzled, he never understood why his physique was so weird. The realm that others can only cultivate after more than ten years of cultivation, and they can easily do it themselves.

In particular, just taking a few pills can be worth more than ten years of hard work by others.

At the beginning, Li Beixiang was still full of worries. After all, there is no such thing as a pie in the world.

He was afraid of the sequelae that would be left behind by this kind of rapid ascension to the realm. However, after continuing for a period of time, Li Beixiang did not find anything wrong with him. So I gradually relaxed my heart, after all, this kind of thing can be regarded as a good thing.

"That's right, it's for you. Although your kind of physique is rare, it is not uncommon. Not to mention, five hundred years ago, there was a young man of your physique. ”

The old man tilted his head, as if remembering something.

"Five hundred years ago?"

Li Beixiang looked at the old man suspiciously.

The old man turned his head, looked at Li Beixiang with a complicated expression, let out a long breath, and said slowly: "Yes, five hundred years ago, that young man at that time was so handsome. At the age of less than thirty, he has already broken through the Jindan stage and directly reached the Yuan infant stage. At that time, he was so hesitant. The bright road of life is just around the corner. ”

The old man couldn't stop admiring, but then his tone changed, and he said in a low voice: "However, there is no good thing in this world that falls from the sky. Guess what happened to this young man in the end?"

"What's wrong?"

"He died, and died a terrible death. The meridians of the whole body are broken, and the seven orifices are bleeding. After wailing for seven days and dying, his relatives and friends watched him die, but they were helpless. The old man's eyes were solemn, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"Dare to ask what the seniors said about Luo Qiujiang?"

Lao Chai on the side listened carefully to the old man's words, and suddenly asked.

"Yes, it's him. ”

The old man wiped a handful of tears and nodded.

"You know?!"

Li Bei looked at Lao Chai and asked suspiciously.

How did Lao Chai know about these five hundred years ago?

"Childe, it's hard to say that everyone knows about this matter, but there are not a few people who know it. You can hear it as a story. ”

Lao Chai looked at the old man, saw the old man nodding at him, and then said: "This person is called Luo Qiujiang, and it is rumored that he is the son of the emperor of the Yaosheng Empire in the south. This Luo Qiujiang was born in an autumn, and it is rumored that when Luo Qiujiang was born, a river outside the capital that had been dry for decades suddenly burst into clear water. So, the then Emperor Yaosheng named him Luo Qiujiang. ”

Lao Chai paused, and then said slowly: "This Luo Qiujiang has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and his cultivation talent is extremely high. At the age of ten, he has broken through to the foundation building period, at the age of twenty he has broken through to the Jindan period, and at the age of thirty, he has broken through to the Yuan infant stage. At that time, the Emperor of the Yaosheng Empire attached great importance to him, because in the emperor's opinion, if Luo Qiujiang could cultivate at this speed, then he would definitely be able to unify the entire continent in the future. Moreover, the emperor of the Yaosheng Empire at that time also trained him according to this. ”

"However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and not long after this Luo Qiujiang broke through to the Jindan stage, he fell seriously ill and died. Some people say that he was killed, some people say that he was killed by a strong man, and some people say that this is because of his terrifying cultivation speed, which angered God and was punished by God. There are many different theories. But he really died, back then, the pressure that this Luo Qiujiang caused to the five countries on the entire continent was self-evident. After all, there are not many strong people of that kind of strength on the entire continent. ”

"Dead?" Li Beixiang opened his eyes and said in amazement: "God is jealous of talent, he died at a young age, it's a pity, it's a pity." But what does that have to do with me?"

"Hehe, young man, he is just like you, he can easily break through. Moreover, he broke through in a similar way to you. ”

The old man's eyes narrowed and he looked at Li Beixiang.

"What?!" Li Beixiang was a little flustered in his heart.

What does this mean? Does it mean that I will not live to be 30 years old? How can it be? Who can say for sure what happened 500 years ago, after all, so many years have passed, and who knows whether this thing is true or not.

"Cut, you just coax me, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, open your mouth and come, whoever believes is stupid. ”

Li Beixiang looked at the old man with disdain.

"Hehe, maybe if someone talks to me like this, I would have slapped him to death a long time ago. But if it were you, I wouldn't. Because you look too much like him. ”

The old man looked at Li Beixiang with a tender face.

Li Bei looked at the old man's expression, and goosebumps fell to the ground.

Could it be that this old man is really as good as Long Yang? Otherwise, how could he look at me with such eyes? Could it be because I am too handsome, yes.

"Forget it, believe it or not. In fact, the main thing I want to find you is to accept you as a disciple, whether you agree or not, anyway, I recognize you as an apprentice. ”

"By the way, this is a book of exercises that suit your physique, as long as you practice according to this exercise, I don't dare to say that you will not have that kind of tragedy, but at least it will be of great help. ”

The old man took out a yellowed book from his arms and handed it to Li Beixiang.

"Okay, no more nonsense. I'll go first, and I'll see you later. ”

The old man drifted away.

"What? What is this? What is this Nima doing? Inexplicable people, inexplicable old man, inexplicable nonsense, inexplicable exercises? What the hell is this doing?" Li Beixiang was momentarily confused, he really couldn't understand, this old man who suddenly appeared said a lot of inexplicable things to him, and then inexplicably made himself his disciple, and then inexplicably gave himself a book of exercises.

How can all of this be so complicated?

Li Beixiang shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it.

"How many exercises do you break?"

Li Beixiang glanced at it casually, pinching the exercise and about to throw it away.

"Childe, I think it's better to believe it than to believe it. ”

Lao Chai hurriedly persuaded.

"Fourth brother, I think so too. It's better to believe in what you have than what you don't have. ”

Li Donglai, who had been silent for a long time, also spoke at this moment.

"Cut, what is better to believe in what it has than not to believe in it. I don't believe it at all. Oh, by the way, Lao Chai, you made up that story well, and it made me stunned. ”

Until now, Li Beixiang has not believed this story.

"Fourth brother, this thing really exists. We have to have it in the library, but the time is a little long, and no one knows how real it is. It's just that it's true. ”

Li Donglai pinched his chin and said earnestly.

"Alright, alright. I can't listen to you. ”

Li Beixiang had no choice but to stuff the exercises into his arms.

Half an hour later, after Lao Chai's injuries had recovered somewhat, the group beat their horses and left.

"Old man Luo, I didn't expect it, it's been hundreds of years, and you still haven't put it down. ”

Two figures slowly floated down from the sky, one wearing a Taoist robe, holding floating dust, and an old man with white hair and beard said to an old man who was smashing the big cigarette bag.

"yes, it's been hundreds of years, and I still haven't put it down. I owe you a favor this time, and if anything happens in the future, just come to me. ”

The old man looked at Li Beixiang and the others in the direction where they left, and said in a deep voice.

"As far as I know, this kid isn't in a good situation right now. Aren't you worried?!"

The old man touched his beard and said with a smile.

"How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, this is his life. ”

The old man smashed the cigarette pouch, and then his figure became fainter and fainter, and disappeared in place.

"Cut, I'm not happy anymore. ”

The old man said disdainfully, and then disappeared in place.

............

"In ten days' journey, we will reach the boundary of Shuodong County. ”

Li Beixiang grabbed the reins of the horse, looked at the rolling mountains, and said excitedly.

"yes, it's almost there. ”

Lao Chai stopped behind Li Beixiang and echoed.

"Fourth brother, have you noticed why there are so many homeless people along the way. Moreover, the further you go in the direction of Shuodong County, the more displaced people there are. ”

Li Dong looked at the few homeless people who appeared in front of him and said thoughtfully.

"That's right, I found out too. Could it be that they have suffered a disaster?"

Li Beixiang didn't think about Shuodong County at all, but thought that Shuodong County had encountered a disaster.

............

At the same time, in the army outside Shuodong County, Li Duanjiang sat on the main seat, with a black face and an extremely gloomy face.

"Bang"

Li Duanjiang slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "What's the matter? What are you doing to eat? The five thousand third-level soldiers are just gone? Liuma Town, Shuyang Town, and Heyuan Town are all lost. How did you do it? A bunch of rice buckets, incompetent, shameless. ”

Li Duanjiang's eyes were round, and fire could erupt from both eyes. Li Duanjiang, who usually looks elegant, has completely changed his appearance at this moment.

These three towns are at the forefront of Shuodong County, facing the barbarian front. It has always been a battleground for soldiers, and before that, Li Beixiang stationed 10,000 third-level soldiers in each of these three towns. But a few days ago, the barbarians actually let the people of the Tianyang Sect who surrendered to them disguise themselves as outcasts, and the defenders didn't check for a while, and actually let those people sneak into these three towns. With the cooperation of the inside and the outside, they successfully captured the three towns.

This led to a further contraction of the front front.
