Chapter Eighty-Four: The Beginning

In the Qianyang Cave, after testing the cultivation results of Han Nuo and Chen Deng in the past two years, Zhenhuo took Han Nuo and Chen Deng to cultivate in the Qianyang Cave. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't until the arrival of the beginning of spring in another year that Zhenhuo called Han Nuo and Chen Deng to talk about the 'Immortal Treasure Hunting Competition'!

"Master!" In the Qianyang Cave, Han Nuo, Chen Deng, and Huang Chen stood in front of Zhenhuo.

And Zhenhuo sat cross-legged on the futon, looked at his three apprentices, and said: "Han Nuo, Chen Deng, both of you are monks under the age of 100, and both have broken through the refining period, so you can participate in the 'Immortal Yuan Treasure Hunting Competition', Zhongnan Mountain Dojo has passed down the first test topic, that is, all the monks under the age of 100 who want to participate in this 'Immortal Yuan Treasure Hunting Competition' must rush to Zhongnan Mountain Dojo in person. ”

"It's not difficult, master?" Looking at the real fire, Han Nuo said lightly.

"Why isn't it difficult, do you know how far you need to go? If it was a month ago, it would not be difficult, but what is rare is that you need to start from this year's Lantern Festival, but start from Xianyang, the national capital, and then follow the avenue all the way to the east, across the two counties of Qin, Yizhou, one of the western Kyushu of Dashang, and then cross half of Zhongzhou, and arrive at Chaoge, the western capital of Dashang" Zhenhuo looked at Han Nuo and Chen Deng, and carefully calculated the distance for the two:" In the middle, you first need to cross the boundary between the Qin State and the Great Shang, Huashan, as well as the Liupan Mountain, Helan Mountain, a branch of Huashan, and other mountain ranges, and then, you need to cross the Yellow River between Yizhou and Zhongzhou, and I don't know how many mountains and rivers there are in the middle, but you need to walk through it in eight months!"

"According to the itinerary of an ordinary caravan, it will take at least a year to travel from Xianyang to Chaoge, and you are not allowed to ride horses and chariots along the way, and you are not allowed to fly in the sky, and you want to go to Chaoge in eight months, but it is not easy at all!" Looking at Han Nuo, who was still unconvinced, Zhenhuo continued to strike: "You only walked for half a month after going home, not to mention that there are so many uninhabited fields!"

"No man's land?"

"Yes, no man's land, outside of my human settlements, there are large barren mountains and mountains, where is the uninhabited area, where most of the places are built a Taoist palace or a monk's cave mansion, the residence of the clan, there are monks to supervise the changes in the veins of the living beings, to prevent demons and beasts from haunting it!" In such a no-man's land, there is a road specially opened for ordinary people, and there is a forbidden formation in it to prevent wild beasts from approaching, but you are not allowed to go, you must pass through such mountains and forests, so whether you go in the right direction is a very important question for you, otherwise you will be working in vain!"

Listening to Zhenhuo's words, Han Nuo finally let go of the trace of contempt in his heart, and said to Zhenhuo: "Master, how many people are participating in this competition, and can everyone go together?"

"How many people participated? I don't know if this is the division, but each pair can walk together with a maximum of seven people, so, Han Nuo, Chen Deng, you can still find five teammates. ”

"Oh, master, I have three friends, and I don't know if they will participate or not, by the way, master, I don't know where the Iron Sword Blade Wufeng Cave, the Four Seasons Peak Four Seasons Cave, and the Lingyu Peak Lingyu Cave are?

"Four Seasons Peak?" Chen Deng on the side listened to Han Nuo's words and said subconsciously.

The real fire next to "Iron Sword Blade, Four Seasons Peak, and Spirit Jade Peak" was also repeating Han Nuo's words, and there was a trace of trance in his eyes, "It turned out to be the apprentices of these three people!"

"Does the master know them?" Han Nuo asked suspiciously, listening to Zhenhuo's words.

"Of course I know, senior brother, do you know who I went to find to help me refine the magic weapon? It is the cave master of the Four Seasons Cave of the Four Seasons Peak, Zhenxu Zhenren, he has two apprentices, one is named Yunxi, and the other is called Ji San, your friend is Ji San!" Chen Deng listened to Han Nuo's words on the side, and had already spoken by himself!

"Yes, my friend is Ji San!" Listening to Chen Deng's words, Han Nuo also said in a trance, and suddenly had a feeling that this world was so small.

"Okay, you go back and prepare first, and in the next few days, follow me to practice your secret arts, and when you gather in Xianyang during the Lantern Festival, I will take you over!" Zhenhuo said to the two apprentices, and then said to Huang Chen, who had finally come back to his senses: "Huang Chen, you can follow the cultivation of the teacher in this Qianyang Cave with peace of mind!"

......

Time slips through people's fingers unconsciously!

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Han Nuo and Chen Deng, under the leadership of their master Zhenhuo, each carried a small cloth package on their backs, flew out of the Qinling Dojo on the Spirit Crane, and then set off towards Xianyang City under the leadership of Zhenhuo!

The pace of Zhenhuo, Han Yu and Chen Deng does not seem to be fast, but it is a few steps away, and the speed is as fast as a galloping horse!

As they got closer and closer to Xianyang City, the number of pedestrians and passengers on the official road slowly increased, and Zhenhuo took Han Yu and Chen Deng to slowly slow down, exactly the same speed as the ordinary people around them.

Han Nuo looked at the fertile fields around him, looked at the snow covered in the fields, and the old peasant women who walked leisurely and had ruddy faces on the fields, Han Nuo was finally sure that the world he had come to was rich in basic materials, at least there would be no shortage of the peasants' rations!

There are more and more convoys of merchants walking on the official road, gathering together from the official roads in all directions, making the city gate of Xianyang City bustling!

At this time, Han Nuo noticed a special crowd next to a caravan, those people were neatly dressed, narrow sleeves, long pants, short boots, well-fitting jackets, carrying long swords, and their movements looked neat!

"Master, who are those people?" Han Nuo looked at the pair of people curiously and asked at the real fire beside him.

"They're swordsmen," Zhenhuo glanced at the group of people and said lightly.

"Swordsman?" Han Nuo repeated the name. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Swordsman, it is a cultivation method invented by ordinary people who can feel the source qi of heaven and earth, but they are unable to break through the Tongmai realm, and those ordinary people who can't feel the source qi of heaven and earth at all. The tempering between life and death to achieve the purpose of refining and refining qi, cultivating a powerful sword qi, so as to open up the meridians of the whole body, to reach the so-called innate realm, and your inner fist is very familiar, but it is not as good as your inner fist internal strength of the tempering of the source qi of heaven and earth, the cultivated sword qi is too messy compared to the mana refined by the monk, and the vitality is insufficient, and it can only penetrate the meridians, and the destructive power is more than enough, but the ability to warm and nourish the meridians is not strong, as the sword qi becomes stronger and stronger, the strength of the meridians cannot keep up, and in the end, most of them are the so-called madness and die, but in fact, the meridians cannot withstand the huge destructive sword qi, and the sword qi enters the body and dies。 Zhenhuo looked at Han Nuo and suddenly thought of Han Nuo's inner fist, and then said: "I just don't know if the inner strength and vitality cultivated by your inner fist are enough to warm the meridians!"

"It should be fine!" Han Nuo said uncertainly.

"Master, is there any way to enhance the vitality of that sword qi?" Chen Deng next to him asked with concern at this time.

"This really isn't there!" Zhenhuo looked at Chen Deng's sudden change in face and asked, "What's wrong Chen Deng, you care about this issue very much?"

"Master, my grandson in the world has become a swordsman, and it is also because he has a career that I can rest assured that I came to learn from the master, but now the swordsman cultivation method he learned has such a huge crisis, this, what can I do?"

"It's fine. If you want to reach the level I said, even those swordsmen who can feel the source qi of heaven and earth need at least one jiazi of cultivation, if they can't feel the source qi of heaven and earth, then hundreds of years of cultivation will not be able to achieve such an effect, so you don't have to worry about your grandson's affairs!"

"That's it, then I'll rest assured!" Listening to Zhenhuo's words, Chen Deng let go of the worries in his heart and followed Zhenhuo to continue walking towards Xianyang City.

......

Xianyang City only opened three gates, namely the southeast and west gates, I heard that the north gate is specially for the army stationed in the city, the royal family in and out of the city gate, if there is any urgent military situation, it is also directly through the north gate, you can go directly to the palace!

Han Nuo was a man who had grown up in the village, and he had never seen how tall a building was with tens or hundreds of floors! But now he saw a huge city wall that was about nine stories high and stretched for dozens of miles!

Xianyang City, as the king of a country, has a city wall of nine zhang high, three gates, and the city wall is repaired with a three-foot thick bluestone, with the majestic majesty and vicissitudes of life that Han Nuo has never seen!

Looking at the criss-crossing scars on the city wall, it is not difficult to imagine how tragic the war experienced by this city is, and a sense of historical vicissitudes permeates the city wall, filled with a strong war spirit and unyielding.

There is a three-storey city tower on the city wall, the city tower is three zhang high, the green bricks and green tiles, many soldiers stand guard above, the sword armor is fierce, and the evil spirit is pressing.

Walking in the city gate, which was five zhang high and three zhang wide, Han Yu's heart was shocked again, and after walking about fifty steps, Han Nuo followed the crowd through the city gate! Han Nuo was sixty centimeters in one step, that is to say, the entire base of the city wall was more than 30 meters thick and ten zhang wide! In this way, even if the city wall did not spread straight upward, the city wall was about six zhang (almost 20 meters) wide. That's enough width to garrison enough sergeants!

With such a high and thick city wall, the only enemies to defend against may only be those demonic beasts in the northwest!

The city gate of Xianyang City does not have any soldiers to check and collect the city tax, but under the supervision of a team of soldiers standing guard, orderly and free entry, left in and right out, orderly, the road in the city is very similar to the modern two-way road, the principle of right is implemented, and it is the implementation of the carriage and horses and people to go separately, Han Yu walked on the bustling street, looking left and right.

It is not like Yulan County, where the streets are lined with residential areas, but the roads in Xianyang City are lined with shops selling clothes and accessories...... Everything you need, restaurants, pawnshops...... One no less!

Zhenhuo took Han Nuo and Chen Deng to turn left and right in Xianyang City, and finally came to a huge Taoist temple - "Shangqing Temple".

"Master!" After Han Yu shouted, he looked at the 'Shangqing Guan' who was full of pilgrims and said, "Shall we rest here tonight?"

"Yes, I'm going to die here for one night today, tonight, you have to find your teammates, and tomorrow, you're going to set off together!"
