Chapter 43: Yang Muyuan
Behind the escort procession, there was still a caravan hanging from a hundred feet away, and it looked no different from before.
Previously, the team made a big detour in order to avoid the enemy, but now they are returning the same way, gradually turning back to the right path.
After returning to the starting point, Qi Bin visited with his divine thoughts, and found that the 1,000 people in front of him were still staying in place, apparently wanting to wait for work, so he ordered the team to prepare for battle.
The two-mile road is very close, and it will be there in a few moments.
But I saw a camp lying in the middle of the road, which seemed to be improvised, and the figures in the camp were longing. At the front are two rows of rejecting horses, and after rejecting the horses there is a simple magic circle.
The convoy stopped fifty feet in front of the camp, and the caravan that followed behind also stopped.
Yi Jiuxiao and Qi Bin observed this camp, and saw that all the bandits were cowering in the camp, and they were probably waiting for Wei Kuang's signal.
When searching for souls before, the three bandits only knew the simple plot, but they didn't know what the specific signal was. Therefore, you can't mess around, because it will be self-defeating.
Yang Muyuan was also looking outside in the camp, and he really saw that the escort team stopped fifty zhang away.
Long before the team stopped, he scanned the back of the escort team with his divine thoughts, and saw a caravan fifty zhang away, and also saw Wei Kuang sitting on a horse.
Yang Muyuan only knew Wei Kuang, and he was not familiar with Wei Kuang's subordinates, so he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.
"What does this old boy want to do? I said that I would do it together, but now I haven't sent a signal for a long time, do you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"
Yang Muyuan scolded in a low voice in the camp, he was also a cunning bandit, and it was wishful thinking to let him die first.
Since the bandits don't come out, then attack, Yi Jiuxiao thought for a while, he arranged for Zheng Yuanhu to pretend to be Wei Kuang, originally to confuse Yang Muyuan and lure Yang Muyuan to take the initiative.
Now Yang Muyuan is cowering in the camp and is reluctant to make a move, so he can't keep working with him, so he has a divine exchange with Qi Bin.
Qi Bin has long wanted to do it directly, he is really cowardly these days, he and his forbidden army have not been able to fight normally, and he has repeatedly relied on Yi Jiuxiao and Qi Qingru to make a move.
So with an order, a hundred shield troops protected the front of the convoy, and then two hundred flying swordsmen walked out of the queue, and at the same time, Wei Kuang, who was pretended by Zheng Yuanhu, also moved forward with the escort team twenty zhang, guarding the rear of the team.
After the change of offensive and defensive formations, the first wave of flying swords was released, knocking the two rows of horses in front of the camp and the magic circle into powder.
Then the team moved forward twenty zhang as a whole, and Zheng Yuanhu's escort team also followed up in the rear.
At this time, Yang Muyuan really couldn't help it, the forbidden army was fighting, and if he didn't do it again, did he want to sit still and wait for death?
So he took the lead, and when he came to the array, more than a thousand of his men followed him.
At this time, he was still secretly scolding Wei Kuang's old boy in his heart, it was estimated that this old boy was timid in battle, and he found that there were strong people in the team, so he didn't dare to make a move.
"Who dares to destroy my camp?" Yang Mu asked pretending to be, at this time, only Qi Bin was at the forefront of the team, and Yi Jiuxiao didn't know where he went.
"We are the forbidden army of the imperial court, and we carry out important tasks in the desert. Who are you, encamped here, and are in our way? ”
Qi Bin saw that Yang Mu was pretending to be, as if he was testing himself, since this is the case, let's pretend together.
"I've seen all the military masters, we are a caravan in the desert, temporarily camped here, I don't know that the military masters are passing by, how offended, we will evacuate immediately. ”
After saying this, Yang Muyuan sent a divine thought to Wei Kuang in the distance, asking Wei Kuang's opinion, which means that if you don't make a move, I will evacuate.
But Yang Muyuan didn't receive any reply from Wei Kuang, because Zheng Yuanhu didn't dare to reply to him.
Everyone's thoughts are different, just like the voice of a voice, as long as Zheng Yuanhu replies, it will be exposed immediately.
Yang Muyuan saw that Wei Kuang was still sitting on the horse, ignoring his inquiries and not replying at all, so he guessed that this old boy must be afraid of exposing himself, so he was unwilling to communicate with him.
He had long known that Wei Kuang was scheming, and he would definitely be killed if he cooperated with him. Sure enough, it is difficult for me to ride a tiger now, and if I don't go, I will wait for when.
So he turned around and said to the bandits behind him: "Brothers, hurry up and pack your things and make way for the military masters." ”
Those bandits can rob the poor and caravans, and they are also afraid when they see the army, especially in the face of the imperial forbidden army, they are extremely nervous.
Hearing the leader say that he wanted to withdraw, it was like a flood that burst the embankment, and in an instant the ghost was gone.
Yi Jiuxiao originally retreated to the middle of the team, ready to plot against Yang Muyuan at any time, but who knew that this bandit leader was suspicious and actually escaped.
In desperation, he returned to the front of the team, looked at Qi Bin with an unfinished look, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Do you really want to fight?"
"I really want to fight, not only I want to fight, but the brothers want to fight. ”
Qi Bin looked at the brothers behind him as he spoke, and those forbidden soldiers all looked resolute, expressing their support for the commander.
This reminded Yi Jiuxiao of his previous life, when he was in the Great Song Army. At that time, the brothers behind him also supported him like this, and their eyes were the same resolute, but unfortunately they all died in the end.
"It would be nice if I didn't fight!" Yi Jiuxiao said to himself and to everyone on the field.
Fighting always involves death, killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself, if you can resolve all disputes without blood, it should be the best result.
Qi Bin understood Yi Jiuxiao's words, and the brothers of the forbidden army behind him also understood, there is no doubt that war is cruel.
As soldiers, we don't want war, and we don't want to see bloodshed, but can war be eliminated?
The rest of the march was very smooth, there were no twists and turns along the way, and it took four days to get out of the desert.
Yi Jiuxiao didn't ride a horse these days, but lay in the carriage and enjoyed this rare leisure time.
In the carriage, he did two things, one of which was to open the prohibition in Zhou Shizhong's ring.
His divine thoughts were relatively weak, and it took a long time to open the prohibition, and it took almost a whole day to finally break through the prohibition and enter the space in the ring.
This ring is not small, seven or eight feet in length and width, and most of the space is filled with things.
The ring is equal to the home of the cultivator, Yi Jiuxiao decided to study it carefully, the ring of a Jindan monk is still very beneficial for him to understand the cultivator.
The stick-shaped magic weapon lay quietly in the ring, and Zhou Shizhong died before he could take it out.
He took out the stick-shaped magic weapon from the ring, fiddled left and right, tossed up and down, and the magic weapon did not change, it was still just a small stick.
Yi Jiuxiao shook his head helplessly, it seemed that the magic weapon still needed the blessing of the exercise, so he put the stick-shaped magic weapon back into the ring.
In addition to the stick-shaped magic weapon, there are several magic weapons, among which there is a flag, a vest, and a strange knife.
He had seen a flag-shaped magic weapon, and Zhou Shizhong had used it to resist the flying sword of the Flying Sword Army, and it should only be a defensive magic weapon.
Looking at this vest carefully with his divine thoughts, he found that it was different from ordinary clothes, and there were many strange lines engraved on the front and back, so Yi Jiuxiao thought that it was also a magic weapon.
Yi Jiuxiao took out the vest from the ring, this vest is the size that adults can wear, and it is not a miniature version like other magic weapons.
He turned the vest in his hand and looked at it over and over again, but he didn't know what material it was made of, so he tore it off with his hand, but he couldn't tear it, his strength was a thousand pounds, which showed how strong the vest was.
It's a good thing, this magic weapon seems to be a passive magic weapon, the person who wears it doesn't need to have mana and cultivation, the magic weapon itself has a defensive effect, but I don't know what level of attack it can resist.
He didn't try it with the pangolin, because the piercing arrow was too sharp and could most likely damage the vest.
After reading the magic weapon, Yi Jiuxiao took a look at the pills again, there were a lot of pills in the ring, all kinds of them, he didn't know many pills, and he didn't know their effects, so in desperation, he put them away for the time being.
There are also a lot of materials piled up in the pill area, which seem to be prepared for alchemy.
I don't know if Zhou Shizhong will make his own alchemy, but there is a Dan furnace in the ring, and this Dan furnace is five feet in size.
In one area of the ring, there are hundreds of small flags, presumably array flags.
There are some stones and other items placed next to the array flag, which should be related to the array, and the array path is also one of the basic skills of the monks, and the Jindan monks can arrange some magic arrays.
There are not many jade slips of exercises, a total of twenty-one pieces, Yi Jiuxiao read the jade slips with his divine thoughts, and a lot of information entered his sea of knowledge, but he did not have a spiritual root, and these exercises were useless to him, so he stopped visiting.
The most left is the spirit stones, and there are at least two million spirit stones in the entire ring species, and these spirit stones occupy one-third of the ring's space.
Yi Jiuxiao took out a spirit stone and held it in his hand, and the cultivator could absorb the spiritual energy in it by holding the spirit stone in his hand. But in his hand, it was a cold hand, and there was not a trace of movement.
Spirit stones have a wide range of uses, they can activate magic circles, they can also assist in cultivation, and they are also the currency of cultivators. In the cultivator's market, they basically collect spirit stones.
No gold and silver treasures were found in the entire ring, only spirit stones were found, which shows that Zhou Shizhong has long since faded out of the worldly trade.
After reading the ring, Yi Jiuxiao only took out the vest and threw the entire ring into his storage ring.
The next thing he had to do was to look at the book he had gotten from the bandits.
Yi Jiuxiao took out the book from the storage ring, the style of the book was simple, it was somewhat similar to the style of the Open Heaven Sutra in his sea of knowledge, and the thickness was about the same.
But there were no words on the cover, and he turned the pages and saw that there were no words on the pages.
Yi Jiuxiao was a little puzzled, could this be a legendary wordless heavenly book?
In the previous life in the Great Song Dynasty, there was a legend that there was a wordless heavenly book, and only those who were destined could see the words in it, otherwise it would be a blank paper.
Those who get the wordless book of heaven have achieved great things in the end.
