042, uninvited guests
A strong interest arose in Lu Zheng's heart:
"Brother Song, when you say the gods outside the sky, you mean the immortals?
Song Yuan said slowly:
"During the few days I spent in Dasai, I listened to a lot of all kinds of stories. It is said that there was no such thing as evil spirits or demons in this world a long time ago. It's just that one day suddenly a disaster star shines, the world changes greatly, ghosts and gods revive, demons and evil run rampant, and a catastrophe sweeps the world.
This catastrophe shattered the heavens and the earth, countless people lost their lives, and the world became a ghost. And it was in such despair that there were gods and men who came from outside the sky, suppressed the ghosts and gods who caused trouble in the world, and swept across the four poles, which returned to a bright world again.
However, although most of the ghosts and gods have been suppressed, there are still a large number of evil cults that have arisen from various places, and the survival of sentient beings is still greatly threatened. Therefore, the gods created a profound martial arts practice method tailored for ordinary beings, and taught it widely to fight against those remnants of the ghosts, which is also the origin of the saying that the gods taught the exercises. ”
Lu Zheng's eyes lit up:
"Does this extraterrestrial god really exist? Is the legend true or false? Has anyone really seen it?"
If it were other myths and legends, he might just listen to them. But this legend about the existence of immortals made him excited.
Even in a world where there are demons and monsters, the existence of gods and immortals is naturally not an impossible thing.
And what made him feel excited was that if there were really immortals, why would he still practice the martial arts of mortals, go directly to the immortals, ask the immortals and ask, wouldn't it be more fragrant to be a chic cultivator?
Legend has it that the gods outside the heavens broke through the sky and disappeared without a trace after teaching the exercises. However, until now, the Western Xinjiang Dasai, and even the major state cities of the nineteen states, have built incense Taoist palaces dedicated to the gods outside the sky, and countless people pray day and night, and the incense is extremely prosperous. ”
As if he saw what Lu Zheng was thinking, Song Yuan said:
"And there are some famous families who claim that their ancestors have been taught by the gods outside the sky, and they are known as the families of heaven and man, and they have a grand reputation among the people. From this point of view, the legend of the gods and men outside the sky may not be a lie. ”
It turns out that no one has really seen it?
The interest in Lu Zheng's heart, which had risen to the top, suddenly fell.
If it is the same as the major Xianxia novels, if the so-called gods have opened sects and recruited disciples, he will try everything he can, and now there is only a legend without a trace, where can he find someone?
"The gods and men outside the sky are just legends after all, and you don't have to take them too seriously. ”
Seeing the lack of interest on Lu Zheng's face, Song Yuan sighed lightly:
"Anyway, your martial arts talent is very high, and you are not dragged down by your relatives, if you have the opportunity in the future, it is best to go to the outside world to have a look, and you will not regret it later. ”
Lu Zheng's eyebrows moved, and he asked:
"If you want to leave the walled city, is there any other way than to follow the caravan of the owner of the wall?" Brother Song, do you remember the route you took at that time?"
Song Yuan shook his head and muttered:
"There is only one safe route from the Bailongshan Walled City to the Western Xinjiang Dasai, and the road map is only in the hands of Shi Longwu, the owner of the wall, and the other two masters. The road was poor, dangerous and rugged, and I only walked with the team once five years ago, and I have already forgotten it.
And it's not absolutely safe to set off with the caravan, so if you really plan to go out, it's best to wait until you have enough strength to protect yourself. ”
Is that so......
I was going to wait for my strength to be stronger before thinking about this matter, Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said slowly:
"Thank you Brother Song for reminding ......"
......
Soon, after the physical strength was recovered, Lu Zheng and Song Yuan ended their chat, and each of them carried their prey and embarked on the way back.
The wild boar was about three or four hundred catties, carried by Song Yuan, and the other two gray wolves were slightly lighter, adding up to more than two hundred catties, and Lu Zheng was on his shoulders.
Compared with the last time, Lu Zheng did not feel much difficulty carrying the two wolf corpses after his strength was greatly improved, and after being promoted to the Bone Forging Realm, his muscles and bones were strong and his strength increased greatly, so he followed Song Yuan over the mountains and mountains, and did not drag any hindrances at all.
And Song Yuan, who also discovered this, was naturally secretly amazed.
Of course, he has imperceptibly accepted the character of Lu Zheng's martial arts wizard, and his receptivity has also been greatly improved, and he directly blames everything on talent.
In this way, the two people who had a good harvest carried heavy prey, climbed all the way over the rugged mountain road, and finally walked out of the mountain forest before dusk.
After only resting for a while, he continued to advance towards the walled city in the light of the setting sun.
In less than half an hour, before the sky was dark, they passed through large fields and returned to the outer village under the extremely envious gaze of one farmer after another in the field, and went directly to Song Yuan's small courtyard, ready to divide the prey.
However, when the two of them carried their prey like savages and came to the small courtyard of Song Yuan's house, there was an uninvited guest who was already waiting for them.
"Tut-tut...... One boar, two wolves?"
Appearing at the gate of the courtyard was a burly, meaty man with a big knife on his waist, as soon as he saw Lu Zheng and Song Yuan who came back, he took two steps forward and said with a smile:
"Song Yuan, Lu Ping, it seems that the two of you have gained a very good harvest, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Well?
Seeing this fierce man, Lu Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and immediately recognized the identity of the person who came.
The big man in front of him is named Huda, one of the more famous martial arts masters in the walled city, and he is also the captain of the hunting team of the third master, Wei Tiejun. This big man also has a brother named Hu Er, and the hunting team formed by the two often enters the Bailong Mountain Range to collect mountain goods for Wei Tiejun, which belongs to Wei Tiejun's personal henchmen, or loyal doglegs.
"Is that you?"
also recognized the identity of the person who came, but Song Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said unceremoniously:
"Huda, why did you come to my house?"
The big man known as the Tiger laughed, it seemed that Song Yuan had already knew:
"Song Yuan, don't be so angry, we are also old acquaintances, so you don't plan to invite me in to sit?"
Song Yuan put down the prey on his shoulders and said expressionlessly:
"Don't talk nonsense with me here, if you have something to say, let it go!"
"Song Yuan, Song Yuan, your temper is still like this, since this is the case, then I will say it directly. ”
Huda pretended to shake his head, and then said slowly:
"Song Yuan, and Lu Ping. You two are very lucky, and the three masters are grateful for your contributions to the walled city in the past and the difficulty of life, so they decided to recruit you into his hunting team, which can be regarded as giving you a new opportunity to gain a foothold in the walled city......"
Co-optation, into the hunting party?
In an instant, Lu Zheng's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his gaze became cold.
