Ask Sword Mountains and Seas Chapter 111 Encounter Xie Bi'an
Two months later, Mu Jinglu and others finally left the mountains of the Western Wilderness and entered the territory of Liangzhou.
Because of the words of the pastoral path, Ma Jiawei realized something, and Ma Jiawei planned to return to the mountain gate of the Demon Beast Palace in the 100,000 mountains and practice in retreat. Shi Ling'er was worried about the comfort of Sikong Whispering and the others, so she naturally had to rush back to Qin Ge's station in Yangzhou. As for Hua Xian'er, she said that she still had something to go to the 100,000 Mountains, so she walked with Ma Jiawei.
Lu Zhu and Li Ningyang don't need to say much, one is the protector of the Sword Pavilion, and the other is the worship of the Sword Pavilion, so naturally they have to return to the Sword Pavilion with the pastoral path to embrace peace.
Lu Yu also found the nearest post station on the grounds that he wanted to return to the mountain gate to consolidate his cultivation, and planned to ride the fastest flying mount on the Kyushu continent and rush back to the mountain gate within the Qingzhou territory far east of Kyushu as soon as possible.
As a result, as soon as everyone entered the territory of Liangzhou, they parted ways. Since I plan to return to the mountain gate, the most anxious is naturally the pasture road itself. Although his mother, Gu Xiu, had the Sword Pavilion Elder Xiang Miao to greet him, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, and Mu Jinglu was still a little uneasy.
"Chief, after crossing Laishan, you will enter the territory of Wuyang in Liangzhou State. Li Ningyang rode on top of his mount, leaned over and pointed to the mountains in front of him, and explained to the pasture path.
"Laishan, what's so peculiar?" Mu Jinglu frowned and looked at the mountains stretching for thousands of miles in front of him, and his heart was a little worried.
It's not that the pastoral path is timid, it's just that after leaving the Lingzuka Mountain in the west of Liangzhou from the pastoral road, everything happened on all kinds of weird mountain ranges. Even if he left the Western Wilderness and entered Liangzhou, on the way, he also encountered several groups of demon beasts ranging from the red rank to the green rank, if it weren't for Li Ningyang's breakthrough to the green level, the group would not have been able to return to Liangzhou so easily.
Li Ningyang smiled lightly and said lightly: "Don't worry, the chief doesn't have to worry, except for the beautiful scenery in Laishan, there are not too many terrifying demon beasts." However, there is a lot of gold on Laishan, and there are delicious elk everywhere, so if the chief is interested, we can go up to the mountain to find out. ”
Knowing that there were not too many fierce demon beasts on Lai Mountain, Mu Jinglu's heart was relieved, and then he shook his head boringly and said, "Gold is not of much use to our monks. The delicious elk will come to hunt again in the future, and now it is the right thing to hurry back to the mountain gate. ”
Li Ningyang nodded when he heard this, slapped the mount under his crotch with his legs, and led the way first, followed closely by the pastoral path. Lu Zhu, who was delayed, took a look at Laishan interestingly, and didn't know if he dared to be interested in the elk or the yellow turban on the mountain.
Under the leadership of Li Ningyang, the three of them rushed from the periphery of Laishan to Wuyang in Li Ningyang's mouth. It's just that the situation on the way makes the pastoral trail a little confused.
As soon as they entered the foot of Laishan Mountain, there were more monks in the eyes of Mujinglu and others. Some are in a hurry, either south or north, all of them look like dusty people. In particular, the occasional appearance of the army dressed in armor made Mu Jinglu feel a little worried in his heart.
The military dress up in the south, and the pastoral path is recognized, which is the standard equipment of the army in the Xiliang army. As for the costumes of the army in the north, I haven't seen it on the pasture road. Although it is not too far from the style and the dress of the Liangzhou army, the fiery red lining of the armor is far from the black lining of the Liangzhou army.
"Brother Tie Gui, where are those red-lined soldiers?"
"Soldiers of the county of Jingzhou in the southwest. ”
"Jingzhou County Soldiers?" Mu Jinglu was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Jingzhou and Liangzhou are at war?"
"Probably not. Li Ningyang said with some uncertainty: "When the two armies go to war, how can the officers and soldiers of the two armies still live together so peacefully." ”
Li Ningyang said, squinted his eyes and looked north and south, and then said in a deep voice: "It seems that Liangzhou and Jingzhou should be fighting together, the reason, I'm afraid it's the so-called Demon Vanguard Army." ”
Li Ningyang said, and Mu Jinglu's brows also wrinkled. They finally rushed out of the encirclement of the Western Wilderness Demon Army, but they didn't want to think that there were already demon armies in Liangzhou and Jingzhou that would unite the two countries. Mujinglu even suspected that this Demon War might have been earlier than it was three thousand years ago.
"There are so many scattered cultivators and disciples of various sects along the way, and they haven't joined the armies of the two countries yet, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with. Mu Jinglu thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Let's rush back to the Poor Mountain Sword Pavilion as soon as possible." ”
The analysis was so analytical, but the solemnity in the expressions of the civilians, monks, and soldiers along the way made the pastor feel that things might not be so simple.
The strange situation made the three of them run wildly. It was originally a month's journey, but the three of them were compressed to ten days and rushed to Wuyang City.
After Mu Jinglu showed his general token, he naturally took Lu Zhu and Li Ningyang to enter Wuyang Chengnei easily. It's just that the scene you see when you enter Wuyang City makes Mujing Road more and more confused.
There is no bustling and noisy as the pastoral road imagines, and there are scenes of shouting and selling everywhere. The entire Wuyang Chengna is full of patrolling sergeants, although it is not said that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one pavilion, but the figure of the sergeant can be seen everywhere the pastoral path road can be seen by the naked eye.
Not only that, Mujinglu also found that most of the sergeants on patrol were in the late stage of the red rank, and even many of them were in the orange rank. Such a big battle is completely like a great enemy. Although the three of them on Mujing Road were dressed ordinarily, Li Ningyang of the green rank still exuded a faint coercion, which made the soldiers who were constantly patrolling look sideways.
"Little Brother Shepherd!" broke the somewhat dull atmosphere. Mu Jinglu turned his head suspiciously and saw two acquaintances.
One is fat and the other is thin, that is, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusheng, who had a life-and-death friendship with Mujing Road in Yuzhou at the beginning.
Mu Jinglu still remembers that when he and the two of them fought to the death in the ruined temple, the two seemed to be only in the middle of the red order. And now there is a faint yellow aura on the surface of the two of them, reflecting that the two of them have become masters in the middle of the yellow order.
"Brother Xie!" Mu Jinglu looked a little excited, hurriedly stepped forward, and said to Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu: "Brother Fan, long time no see." ”
"Hahaha... It's been a long time. Xie Bi'an also bowed his hand and said: "In the past, it has been two years. I don't want the little brother to be so cultivated, it's amazing, it's amazing. Fan Wusu didn't speak, just arched his hand. It seemed indifferent, but the look of surprise in Fan Wuxuan's eyes was still seen by the three of Mu Jinglu.
"Brother Tie Gui, these two are the eldest brother Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu I mentioned. Mujing Lu led Li Ningyang and Lu Zhu forward and introduced: "Brother Xie, Brother Fan, this is my old friend Li Ningyang, but my brother likes to fight and call him Tie Gui." ”
"This is my brother, Lu Zhu!"
"Xie Zhenren, Fan Zhenren. The old man (boy) is polite. ”
"I've seen my seniors. Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu bowed respectfully to Li Ningyang, and then waved towards Lu Zhuzuo: "Lu Zhenren." ”
The rickety Li Ningyang made Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu a little shocked in their hearts. They didn't expect that the nameless kid two years ago was now about to cultivate to the real human realm, not to mention, there was actually a friend of the green level cultivator.
In the monk's mind, however, there is very little such thing as friendship. Even in the face of huge interests, the so-called friends may become your biggest enemy at any time.
"Brother Xie, since you left, you have been in Liangzhou?"
Xie Bi'an nodded and chuckled, "That's true. Originally, he wanted to travel the world and kill the demons. But after not wanting to come to Liangzhou, the outpost army of the Nightmare appeared in advance, and there were quite a few of them. My two brothers combined and decided to stay and help out. ”
"Why don't you join the Liangzhou National Army? After all, there are many people who are easy to do. ”
Fan Wuxuan, who was on the side, took over and said: "Our two brothers are a casual cultivator, and they have no foundation in Liangzhou State, and it is the fate of cannon fodder to go in, so it is better to act alone and end up relaxed." ”
Fan Wusu said it easily, but the disdain and anger in his eyes seemed to convey dissatisfaction with the army, and it didn't seem to be just Liang Zhouguo.
Mu Jinglu smiled slightly awkwardly, didn't intend to dwell on this question, and changed the topic and asked, "Where are the two brothers going to go now?"
"Little brother doesn't know?" Xie Bi'an looked a little surprised.
Seeing that Xie Bi'an was surprised, Mu Jinglu was even more puzzled, and asked with a confused face: "What should I know?"
"It seems that the little brother has been away from Liangzhou for a long time. ”
Mu Jinglu nodded and chuckled: "It's been more than a year, and I just rushed back to Liangzhou." ”
Mu Jinglu's words shocked Xie Bi'an and Fan Wuxu. Wuyang is in the southwest of Liangzhou, if he had just rushed back to Liangzhou, the pasture road must have been rushed back from the Western Wasteland.
Mu Jinglu said that it was more than a year, and if he went back, didn't it just coincide with the time when the rumor of 'Xuanyuan Sword Spirit' appeared? And throughout the year, news came back that 'Xuanyuan Sword Spirit' was actually a trap set by the demons, in order to slaughter the best of the younger generation among the monks.
Now, except for many disciples of the major sects who have been taken back by the great powers of the sects, most of the scattered cultivators are still uncertain. I don't know how many demon armies there are in the Western Wilderness, whether it is the army of Liangzhou or the major sects, I don't know how many of those scattered cultivators are or.
But now that the pastoral path is standing in front of Xie Bi'an, Xie Bi'an doesn't know how they broke out of the pastoral path.
After being shocked, Xie Bi'an naturally didn't want to ask much, and explained in a deep voice: "A few months ago, news came from the outpost that a battalion of demones capable of transforming had mixed into the territory of Liangzhou. ”
"What?" said Mu Jinglu, his expression a little frightened.
It's not that there are no traces of demons on the Xuanwei Continent, but most of them are evolved from the souls of people who have just died, and even if there are a few successful cultivators, they only appear by chance. In the same way, the poor people on the Kyushu continent can live in such a relatively peaceful way.
If a battalion of demon armies touched the rear of Kyushu, the consequences would not be incalculable for both the people and the monks.
A battalion, that's a whole 10,000. Those who can transform are either born with such a gift, or they have cultivated to an extremely high level and transformed with cultivation.
But no matter which possibility it is, after mixing in the crowd, it may become a catastrophe for human beings.
It is no wonder that after entering the Laishan realm, what the pasture road saw made the pasture road feel very weird. After figuring out the reason, the pastoral path was relieved. The unknown is the most frightening. Although the Pastoral Road has not been able to identify which humans may be demonic, at least it is not on guard.
"Are the two big brothers going to do so?"
Seeing that Mu Jinglu calmed down so quickly, Xie Bi'an was slightly surprised, and then chuckled: "Naturally, I took the bounty task issued by the state government to find the traces of the demon that infiltrated Liangzhou. ”
"Bounty mission?" The first time I heard about it, it made Pastoral Road a little curious.
"Hmm. Xie Bi'an nodded and said: "Although the scattered cultivation does not have the good exercises and resources of the sect disciples, but the scattered cultivation admits defeat a lot, and each has its own weird and strange techniques, and the efficiency of finding people is much higher than that of the sect people and the armies of various states." ”
"That's right. Mu Jinglu nodded approvingly.
"Little Brother Shepherd, oh no, Brother Mu is not small anymore. Xie Bi'an asked with a chuckle: "Do you want to take over the task and let's go together?"
Xie Bi'an remembered the power of the broken sword in Mu Jinglu's hand at the beginning, and now that Mu Jinglu had a green-level master and a yellow-level monk by his side, if he could pull up the Mujing Road, the chances of the two brothers completing the task would increase several times.
Mu Jinglu thought about it, rolled his eyes, and chuckled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "It's not impossible to go together, it's just..."
"Just how?" Xie Bi'an asked suspiciously, "Brother Mu is worried about the distribution of the bounty?"
"Not really. Mu Jinglu still chuckled: "It's just that I've been away from the mountain gate for many days, so I'd better go back and hug for peace first." ”
"Mountain Gate?" Xie Bi'an was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned and asked, "Brother Mu has already joined the sect?"
Pastoral path road is a nod. After receiving the confirmation of the pastoral path, Xie Bi'an's brows furrowed even more. Fan Wuxu's face on the side changed even more abruptly, and he seemed to have a great opinion on the pastoral path, and even resistance.
The reaction of the two made Mu Jinglu slightly stunned, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "The two eldest brothers don't have to worry too much, the brother's sect is not a big sect, let alone the ten major sects." ”
"I joined the sect at the beginning, just because this sect didn't have that disgusting hypocrisy. In addition, the purpose of the sect also followed my heart, so I joined. ”
Mu Jinglu said that, so that Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu both frowned, and their expressions looked a little curious. Seeing that Xie Bi'an and the others put down some mustard, Mu Jinglu hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "When the two eldest brothers helped each other and saved the brother's life, the brother's mother was talking about repaying the favor every day. ”
"Now it's rare to meet the two eldest brothers, and I'm bothering the two eldest brothers to go to the mountain gate with the younger brothers, okay with my mother's wish?"
