Chapter 10: The Sand Bandits Attack
Giant Bear City, one of the nine ancient cities in the Mogao Desert, is led by the Giant Bear Tribe.
When Lu Qingshan arrived at Giant Bear City, the sky was as dark red as fire, and the red was everywhere, and it was the time of sunset.
He entered through the city gate in a grand manner, without any cover.
Not long after he entered the city, in a shop near the city gate, a shopkeeper quietly closed the door of the shop, left through the back door, and went to a remote place, patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and released a demon bird with a white top and black feathers.
The demon bird is also in the realm of a grade, but it is better than being born with wings, flying extremely fast, and is a good hand at communication.
The shopkeeper fed the demon bird a qi nourishing pill, and then pinned a spiritual letter to the demon bird's feet, allowing it to flutter its wings and fly into the air.
Then, the shopkeeper returned to the store again, opened the door, and looked at the store as usual, but he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.
The wind is surging.
He's been lurking in Giant Bear City for so many years, and he's an old man.
That sword cultivator dared to enter and leave the Giant Bear City so magnificently after killing someone, how could he not understand that this meant that the sword cultivator had no fear.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the sword cultivation is extremely stupid and does not know the height of the sky.
But there is a rule in his business, if you want to live for a long time, you can only overestimate the enemy, and you must not underestimate him.
........
After Lu Qingshan entered the city, he explored among the monks' shops in the city.
The reason why he came to Giant Bear City is also very simple.
Where there is demand, there is a market.
Since the monks of the Giant Bear Tribe are forging their bodies with the help of thunder, correspondingly, the lightning protection artifacts and elixirs sold in the shops of Giant Bear City are definitely the most complete.
Giant Bear Danpu, Lu Qingshan stepped into it.
The presiding monk of the Giant Bear Pill Shop was an extremely young male cultivator, completely different from the old Huang Zhong of the Dongque Ware Shop, and when he saw Lu Qingshan come in, he immediately greeted him with great enthusiasm.
"I need some pills that can resist thunder, but if you want more than three grades, you don't need to take out pills below this level." Lu Qingshan said lightly.
The young monk was slightly stunned when he heard this, but his reaction was very decent, and he had a genuine smile on his face. Your Excellency, wait a moment. ”
Then? The Monk turned and folded into the inner hall, and a moment later? When it comes out again? He was already holding a transparent jade bottle in his hand.
In the jade bottle, five brown-yellow pills the size of a dragon's eye lay in it.
Can you faintly see it in the elixir? There seems to be a rich liquid flowing and swaying.
"Blood Rock Pill, Four Rank Pills? It is made from the blood rock fruit as the main ingredient.
Monk after taking the Blood Rock Pill? When the medicinal power is triggered, a thick layer of blood rock can be formed to attach to the surface of the skin, protecting the body and isolating the impact of thunder.
Even a thunderbolt that can hurt a cultivator? With the help of the Blood Rock Pill? It can withstand for a moment and a half, and if its quality can reach more than six grades, the monk can even use it to resist the power of the Heavenly Tribulation a little. The Monk explained.
After a monk reaches a high level, the amount of spiritual power extracted from heaven and earth will reach an extremely terrifying level, plus the lifespan of a high-level monk is extremely long? If there is no limit, no matter how huge the realm of the sky is? There will be a day when the spiritual power will dry up.
Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of situation, the Heavenly Dao Will will have many restrictions on high-level monks.
One is the Heavenly Tribulation.
Monks reach the High Realm? If you want to break through, you have to endure the test of the Heavenly Tribulation? If you have carried it? Then to build to the next level? But if you can't bear it, then you can only fall and return everything to this world.
The Heavenly Tribulation is an existence that has made countless high-level cultivators change their colors.
Even the power of the Heavenly Tribulation can be resisted, and the effect of the Blood Rock Pill can be imagined, Lu Qingshan was overjoyed in his heart, looked at the pill in the jade bottle and asked, "I don't know what the price is?" ”
The presiding monk did not answer Lu Qingshan's question, but instead asked, "In Xia Xiongxi, I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”
Lu Qingshan frowned slightly, looked at Xiong Xi thoughtfully, and replied, "Lu Qingshan." ”
Xiong Xi raised his right hand, directly threw out this bottle of Blood Rock Pill, floated in front of Lu Qingshan, and said with a smile: "This bottle of Blood Rock Pill is given to Lu Daoyou for nothing, just as you make friends with Daoyou." ”
Lu Qingshan took the Blood Rock Pill, played with the jade bottle in his hand, and asked, "Xiong Daoyou, what does this mean?" ”
Although the Blood Rock Pill is only a four-grade pill, with its practical value, it should be a priceless pill in Giant Bear City, and it is very valuable.
If it weren't for the great plot, how could such a precious pill be said to be sent away?
Seeing Lu Qingshan take the Blood Rock Pill, Xiong Xi hugged his fists and bowed, let go of his body, and made a gesture of invitation, "There may be outsiders here at any time, it is inconvenient to talk, Taoist friends are invited." ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
But the artist is bold, and Lu Qingshan is not frightened at all, he gets up and walks inside.
The furnishings inside are different from the outside, although the area is much smaller, but it is elegant and generous.
In the house, there was also a middle-aged male cultivator sitting in the room, and the strange thing was that the middle-aged male cultivator was wearing a Confucian robe, with a gentle appearance, which was incompatible with the rough temperament of this Western Desert.
"Dad, this is Lu Qingshan Lu Daoyou," Xiong Xi said respectfully, and at the same time introduced Lu Qingshan, "This is my father, Xiong Li." ”
After introducing his identity, Xiong Xi had already retreated silently.
Lu Qingshan immediately understood that this master should be the Confucian monk in front of him.
Xiong Li had already greeted him, and said with a smile: "Xiong is so abrupt, please don't blame Lu Daoyou." ”
"What did the bear shopkeeper tell me?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Did Lu Daoyou personally kill the sand bandit leader a few days ago?" Xiong Li's expression was solemn, and he didn't beat around the bush, and asked straight to the point.
In the East Bird City, the sand bandits have arranged their own ways to convey information, the nine clans have been inherited for thousands of years, rooted here, how can they be inferior to a foreign sand bandit?
In fact, the Giant Bear Tribe also has its own sources of information among the other eight major tribes, and it doesn't mean that it has to be done, but it just doesn't want to become deaf.
The same is true of the other eight tribes.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan's sword in Dongque City had already spread to the other eight tribes at this time.
"Exactly down there." Lu Qingshan bowed his head, knowing that he knew the way, and he was not taboo about this matter.
"Body poison is the blood of the vulture old man, and the vulture old man is a man who will be revenged, and he must be extremely jealous of you at this time, and he wants to get rid of you quickly.
The news of Lu Daoyou's entry into Giant Bear City in such a grand manner will not be long before it reaches the vulture old man.
Your Excellency is about to face the danger of being intercepted and killed by the vulture old man, does Lu Daoyou know it? Xiong Li asked again.
"Shopkeeper Bear has something to say." Lu Qingshan looked at the middle-aged male cultivator in front of him and said slowly.
"Well, then I won't go around the bend," Xiong Li pondered for a moment and said: "Lu Daoyou was outside Dongque City, bluntly talking about his killing of poison, and he appeared in the Giant Bear City so blatantly, I boldly guess that Daoyou seems to have something to rely on, and he is not afraid of the vulture old man's revenge, and even has some thoughts about this vulture old man?" ”
"It is rumored by the outside world that this sand bandit is very arrogant in the Mogao Desert, and the Nine Clans Alliance has nothing to do with it, I want to see how this vulture old man's skills can reach the sky?" Lu Qingshan's mind was broken by Xiong Li, and he was not surprised, and even revealed a little irony in his words.
His move was originally a conspiracy, which was tantamount to a war letter to the sand bandits.
first made the news of his killing poison known to everyone, and then briefly made two moves with Dong Qiyan, revealing his identity as a Yuanying monk.
Even if the poison did not have the intergenerational bloodline of the vulture old man and the identity of his own disciple, the vulture old man in the middle stage of refining would inevitably react.
Otherwise, his subordinates were killed by a Yuanying monk, if he was indifferent, how could he convince the public, and how could the ferocity of the sand bandits continue to be maintained in the Mogao Desert?
"Daoyou Gaoyi," Xiong Li's eyes were full of excitement, hatred and shame, and his emotions were extremely complicated, "The cultivation of the vulture old man in the middle stage of refining the void should be the first in the Mogao Desert, plus it is an evil cultivator who acts without scruples, and the nine great clans have a great cause, if he is not sure, he naturally does not dare to provoke him."
If you want to take down the vulture old man in one fell swoop, you can't be sure unless you are all refining and cultivating the void of the nine clans together.
But the fact is that although the nine clans are an alliance, they are not united, and they are afraid that when they encircle and suppress the vulture old man, they will not be very good, so they can only swallow their anger and let the sand bandits wreak havoc in the Mogao Desert. ”
In the cultivation realm, a high-level monk is the pillar of a family, sect, or tribe.
The grade of a sect is mainly determined by the number of high-level monks.
The number of Sword Sects is only three thousand two, and the number of people in the Sword Washing Pool is more than 100,000, why is the number one sword cultivation sect in the world the Sword Sect, not the Sword Washing Pool?
The reason is also very simple, not to mention the number of top-level monks, the Sword Sect has a sword immortal, and you don't have the Sword Washing Pool, in this regard, the Sword Sect can press the Sword Washing Pool under him, so that he will never be able to turn over in the position of the second.
Although the Mogao Desert is vast, it is always vast and sparsely populated, with fewer than 10 million people.
Therefore, refining the void cultivator is basically the limit of the monk's combat power in this area.
The nine major tribes are also because there is a cultivator in each tribe who can rank among the nine major tribes.
If any tribe's cultivator was unfortunate enough to fall during the encirclement and suppression of the vulture old man, his tribe would inevitably not be able to escape the fate of being swallowed up by other tribes.
In the world of monks, benevolence and morality are not absent, but they are indeed not many.
No one dares to take that risk.
"What is the shopkeeper telling me to explain to me?" Lu Qingshan asked rhetorically.
"This vulture old man is a great evil cultivator in the middle stage of refining the void, and his methods are ruthless, and the Taoist friend seems to be just a primordial infant monk, but he doesn't know how sure he is better than the vulture old man, how are he going to kill him?" Xiong Li asked.
"Lu Mou is a sword cultivator, and he naturally relies on the sword in his hand to kill people, what else can it be?" Lu Qingshan was still able to maintain some patience for the sake of the bottle of Blood Rock Pill.
Xiong Li seemed to understand that if he didn't take out some dry goods, he would definitely not be able to ask too many things, and with a flip of his left hand, a talisman full of Sanskrit appeared in his hand.
Xiong Li handed this talisman to Lu Qingshan, and at the same time introduced: "When I was young, I was fortunate enough to meet a disciple of the Tantric Three Treasure Temple who came to practice in the Mogao Desert.
Now that he has become a master cultivator, this is a secret talisman that I purchased from Tantra through the love of the past, which is sealed with a tantric spell: Buddha Son Lotus. ”
Lu Qingshan took the talisman, and his heart moved, "Tantric enchantment spell, Buddha Son Lotus?" ”
In the Western Regions, the Dragon Elephant Temple is the first sect of physical cultivation, and the subsequent sect of physical cultivation is the turn of this Tantric Three Treasure Temple.
Tantric disciples, unlike the Dragon Elephant Temple's cultivation of Vajra, they are usually double cultivators, and what they are especially good at is this enchantment spell, and this Buddha Lotus is one of the representative spells.
As soon as the Buddha lotus flower came out, the Buddha sang in Sanskrit, the law was suppressed, and the Buddha's light was Pudu, just like the reappearance of the Buddha country.
The strength of the monks in the Buddha kingdom will be greatly reduced, the spiritual power and the primordial spirit will be weakened, and the physical body will also be suppressed, and the desire to vibrate will be weak.
Xiong Li nodded, "The power of this Buddha Lotus Flower, even if the vulture old man receives this move, it will definitely be difficult to break free from the restraints in a short period of time, and with the explosive power of the sword cultivation, it may have a miraculous effect." ”
"Is this what the bear shopkeeper means, or is it the meaning of the giant bear tribe?" Lu Qingshan plays with taste.
"It's my personal meaning," a hint of gloom appeared in Xiong Li's eyes, "The Nine Clans are unwilling to join forces to deal with the Sand Bandits, and the Sand Bandits also have an extremely good grasp of the size, and never provoke the Nine Clans openly.......
Until my Taoist companion, when he went out alone, he was actually taken captive by the vulture old man to be used as a furnace ......"
"I only barely condensed the weak baby monk with the help of pills, and the patriarch can't do anything with the vulture old man, so how can I talk about revenge."
A hint of self-deprecation flashed in Xiong Li's face, and his clenched palms burst out because he was too hard, "But over the years, I have never given up the idea of revenge."
This talisman is what I am going to use to deal with the vulture old man, I only hate my own low strength, even if I have this thing, it will definitely not be able to make up for the huge gap between me and the vulture old man, so I didn't do it rashly. ”
"Now, my deadline is approaching, and there is still no hope for revenge until a fellow Taoist appears.
If Daoyou really has the intention to kill the vulture old man, then this Daoist Daoist will take it, it should be helpful to Daoyou, and the previous bottle of Blood Rock Pill should be a reward for Daoyou. ”
Lu Qingshan thought about it, and finally put away the secret charm and bowed his head slightly, "Then Lu will be disrespectful." ”
Dealing with the vulture old man was originally something he had planned, and the Blood Rock Pill and the secret talisman sealed with the Buddha's Lotus Spell were all windfalls, and he naturally accepted them gladly.
As for sympathy for Xiong Li, is there any? Perhaps, but it's not particularly big.
Because he clearly knew that if Xiong Li hadn't been kidnapped because of the Taoist couple, his attitude would be the same as that of the Giant Bear Tribe, to protect himself and let the sand bandits do it, as long as he didn't provoke himself.
In fact, this is also the attitude of most monks in the world.
Refined egoist.
Self-interest is right, but Lu Qingshan has always believed that since the monk has such a powerful power, some feelings are still needed.
........
Soon after Lu Qingshan entered the Giant Bear City, a small novice with red lips and white porcelain and a little sparrow demon in his sleeve robe quietly entered this ancient city with a solemn expression.
In the Mogao Desert, there were several terrifying auras rising into the sky, crossing the sky at a terrifying speed, heading straight for the ancient city of the giant bear.
Among them, the most eerie and terrifying aura came from the leader of the sand bandits, the vulture old man.
Lamp pen
