Chapter 3 The beacon fire rises, and the horse thief arrives

Throughout the night, Lin Xiao tried to get more information from Old Man Wang's mouth, but in the end he was disappointed, Old Man Wang had never left Ningyuan Town for thousands of miles in his life, and his knowledge was really limited, so he could only speculate a little bit from the words in it, and many of them could not be verified.

For example, the old man Wang mentioned the immortals, ten years ago a few hunters in the town went into the mountains to hunt, and happened to encounter a sword-tailed lizard, and in a hurry, an immortal stepped on the fairy sword, and the sword-tailed lizard was seriously injured when the sword light was reversed, and then flew away, so that several hunters got a sword-tailed lizard corpse in vain.

This story has been rumored in the town for a long time, and even the surrounding villages and towns have come to see the sword-tailed lizard that has been badly damaged by the immortals.

Of course, no one knows whether it is really an immortal or not.

Lin Xiao thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that it was impossible to be really an immortal, the immortal path was slim, and the immortals who had attained the Tao were even more ethereal, and it was impossible for them to show their true bodies for some miscellaneous things in the world, and most of the so-called immortals were still some powerful monks.

What shocked him was that if it was really as Old Man Wang said, the monks of this world would be extremely terrifying, stepping on the sword, walking for hundreds of miles in an instant, and the mountains collapsed when he raised his hand, and in the eyes of ordinary people, there was not much difference from the immortals.

Lin Xiao got up early the next morning, walked out of the town, and walked along the Hanxi Mountain, while flying in the mountains and forests, while tempering his physique, the path of cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, this kind of thing can never be relaxed.

"Hanxi Mountain is vast for dozens of kilometers, towering into the clouds, I don't know what the peak will be like. Lin Xiao was curious in his heart, and ran quickly along the foothills, with his current cultivation, even if he used the Void Technique, he would not be able to pass through the space, and could only burst out with the power of the treasure body, one step and ten zhang, as fast as a ghost.

The morning light on the top of the mountain was faint, and wisps of bright red brilliance rose from the sky, blowing away the white clouds.

Lin Xiao saw sweat on his forehead, and there was a slight numbness all over his body, which was the secret method of forging his body, tempering his physique.

Climbing to the top of Hanxi Mountain, you can see that there is a white cloud sponge stretching to the end of the sky, and the fiery red sunlight is scattered from the clouds, which is extremely magnificent.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, staring closely at the purple streamer overflowing from the sky, and exclaimed: "The purple qi is coming from the east, and there is a purple qi in the original. ”

Since ancient times, there has been a legend that purple qi comes from the east, that is the first ray of majestic qi at the beginning of the morning, which can nourish the body and consolidate the soul, which is the dream of monks, but unfortunately it is too rare, and once every day is only in an instant, once it is missed, it is difficult to find.

Lin Xiao's mind moved, and he sacrificed the Heavenly Monument, and hit the Heavenly Monument into the depths of the clouds, attracting that wisp of purple qi.

Dao Dao is divine text flowed out from the heavenly monument, gradually approaching the wisp of Haoran purple qi, and then in Lin Xiao's stunned eyes, it wrapped the wisp of Haoran purple qi with a swish, and swallowed it completely like a long whale absorbing water.

"Damn, isn't it!" Lin Xiao was stunned for a while, a little unable to come back to his senses, originally wanted to use the Heavenly Monument to attract Haoran Purple Qi to absorb and refine it by himself, but in the end, the Heavenly Monument was swallowed privately, which made him stunned.

Hurriedly recalled the Heavenly Monument, Lin Xiao's mind sank into it, and began to pursue that wisp of Haoran Purple Qi, the Haoran Purple Qi between heaven and earth is of great benefit to any monk, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the Yuan is still secondary, the important thing is to refine the soul and get rid of the demons in his heart, he doesn't want to miss it.

However, when he sank into the Heavenly Monument, he found that the wisp of Haoran Purple Qi had been completely integrated into the Heavenly Monument, making the carving on the Heavenly Monument even clearer, like a new life.

At this moment, he felt the difference in the Heavenly Monument, as if he had a life of his own, and the tiny cracks in the interior were safely restored, without the slightest trace.

"Forget it, although I haven't been able to absorb Haoran Purple Qi, it is also a gain that the Heavenly Monument can be repaired. Lin Xiao took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the top of the peak of Hanxi Mountain, and ran the secret method of forging the body, so that wisps of heaven and earth energy could be integrated into his body, constantly warming and tempering the treasure body.

At the same time, the Taiji diagram in the dantian slowly chosen, and the mass spread a suction force, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and refining it into gray energy to fill it.

Lin Xiao found that since the nine turns of Nirvana, Nirvana had no effect on him, no matter how he operated, it would not increase the energy of his body by half a point, but the spontaneous rotation of the Taiji Diagram could also absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, making the black and white Taiji Diagram more realistic.

In this way, he could only continue to guide the Taiji Diagram in the dantian to rotate with his mind, and burst out with a more powerful suction force to absorb the spiritual energy from between heaven and earth.

Two hours later, Lin Xiao exhaled turbid air, jumped up from the top of the peak, and crossed a distance of 100 meters like a big bird, rushing into the mountains and forests.

In the next half a month, Lin Xiao lived in Ningyuan Town, pinching the time to climb to the top of Hanxi Mountain every morning, stopping to look, waiting to collect the first wisp of Haoran purple qi in the sky.

The dense Haoran purple qi was only a wisp, but the magical power contained in it made him can't help but be moved, that kind of pure and innocent Haoran qi is enough to strengthen his mind, so that he doesn't have to worry about the invasion of evil demons, and it is impossible for the mind to bewitch him like the sevenfold pagoda in the Shenwu Academy at the beginning.

However, what made him depressed was that the Four Heavenly Monuments always swallowed up Haoran Purple Qi before him, leaving not even a single hair, and all the purple qi flowed into the Heavenly Monument, making the Heavenly Monument more and more mysterious and huge.

Lin Xiao cursed on his lips, but he was secretly happy in his heart, the heavenly monument was miraculous, and the fusion of Haoran purple qi was more useful than his own fusion, at least the power that burst out strengthened his body by two percent, and the nicks on it became clearer and clearer, gradually merging into one.

The people of Ningyuan Town are simple, but they go into the mountains to hunt all the year round, fight with brute beasts, and naturally there is no lack of toughness, every man is a first-class good player, if it is placed on the earth, they are all characters in the stellar realm, but they don't know the art of fighting at all, they just rely on instinct to use their brute force.

Lin Xiao looked at it for a few days, and then pointed out Li Hei a little, and the two strong people were immediately respected as celestials, and almost set up a tablet for him to worship.

"Brother Lin, these kung fu you taught us are really powerful, yesterday I went into the mountains to hunt, and I was stunned to take down a seven-meter-long tiger, even I couldn't believe it. ”

"Really, I think the immortal skills of the immortals are as powerful as Brother Lin. ”

A group of hunters in the town have been around Lin Xiao all day since then, they have always been simple and honest, and they have been running horses one by one in order to learn kung fu, and Lin Xiao's goosebumps rose after a while, "Are these still those simple hunters?"

In the end, it was the old man Wang who stood up and shouted majestically: "Look at your little bit of talent, since Brother Lin has already taught you, he will not be stingy, don't be like someone who has never seen the world, that is called martial arts or not, there are masters of martial arts in Beixuan City." ”

Lin Xiao laughed happily, Beixuancheng is the closest city to Ningyuan Town, covering an extremely wide area, it is said that there are many wine shops in it, dazzling, delicacies and seafood are endless, and it is the most prosperous place within a radius of thousands of miles.

"If you have time, you should go to Beixuancheng to have a look, approaching the big city, maybe you can learn something useful. Lin Xiao thought in his heart, a smile bloomed on his face, and he said to everyone: "Okay, I will teach you some martial arts in the future, but I don't have much time, so I can only teach them to Li Hei and Er Zhuang first, and then they will teach you." ”

The martial arts are mysterious, not an inch, but the hunters in the town are strong and have a solid foundation, and they are extremely fast to learn, and Lin Xiao found that the meridians in their bodies are unobstructed, and there is no hindrance, even if they don't need him to stare at it, there will be no danger of going mad.

A group of people were excited, and suddenly there was a buzzing horn from outside, and in the distance, you could see wolf smoke burning from the two observation towers, billowing like clouds.

"Yes, it's a horse thief. Old Man Wang's face changed, and he rushed out with the big knife on his back, and the men hurriedly went home and took out their weapons, and gathered at the entrance of the town from a distance.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, his footsteps were light, and he chased after a few ups and downs, hiding in the middle of the crowd and wanting to look outside, only to see the sound of horses' hooves ticking outside the town, and then dozens of sturdy horse thieves came out from behind the woods, with long knives on their backs, with a solemn expression, obviously all of them were guys with blood on their hands.

What surprised Lin Xiao slightly was that the strength of these horse thieves was not weak, each of them had a stellar-level cultivation, and the bearded man who was the leader had a cosmic-level realm, in the words that Old Man Wang told him, it was the innate realm.

There are also warriors in this world, but they are not like the earth, the warriors here are divided into the acquired realm and the innate realm, and the innate is the way of the gods, which is not something that ordinary people can speculate, and the old man Wang knows unknown.

Lin Xiao secretly estimated to himself, the acquired realm of this world is about equal to the stellar level of the earth, and the innate realm is equivalent to the cosmic level, but he has now surpassed the cosmic level, according to the algorithm of this world, what is it?

Dozens of horse thieves laughed wildly, brandished long knives, and the war horses under their crotches were more than two meters high, as strong as tigers, obviously not ordinary goods.

The bearded horse thief led by jumped off the war horse, put away the long knife, and looked at Old Man Wang and smiled, "Old Man Wang, let's meet again, don't come unharmed." ”

Old Man Wang's face was pale, the long knife in his hand was clenched tightly, and his knuckles were a little white, he stared at the bearded man and said: "Master Qiu, our Ningyuan Town only paid a lot of filial piety to you in the first half of the year, and this is not the time to collect it again, right?"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, and knew in his heart that he had heard the old man Wang say that the bearded group of people were famous horse thieves of this generation, not the largest, but the most cunning group, small in number, flexible, fierce, every year every half a year will enter the village and town to loot, over time the people in the town will get used to it, and will prepare silver money in advance to honor them every day to avoid killing.

But the bearded group of people only received filial piety in the first half of the year, and it has only been four months at this time, where is the time to collect money again?

At this time, it is clear that it is sincere blackmail, they are not many in number, but they all have a body of martial arts, and their strength is also a level higher than these hunters, although the hatred in their hearts is itching, but the people in the town can only give in, glaring at the bearded and others fiercely, and the weapons in their hands are trembling.
