119 The scenery of the northern country is thousands of miles of snow, and the princess is miserable
The man's voice was extremely anxious and worried, and just as Princess Xiangxiang was not knowing why, the old woman slowly came out of the house and asked, "Pillar, what happened?" ”
Zhu Zi hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law was working in the field just now, and suddenly fainted, no matter what method we used, we couldn't wake her up, Granny Lan, please follow me to save her." ”
"Okay, I'll go with you." The old woman turned her head and said to Princess Xiangxiang: "Girl, you can also go with your mother-in-law, and by the way, you will also bring the small box in the corner of the house, and I am afraid that you will have to accompany your mother-in-law back after a while." ”
Princess Xiangxiang sighed, then put the small box that the old woman said on her back, and helped the old woman to follow the pillar to his house.
Fortunately, the village was not large, and the three of them came to the house of the pillars, which was also a relatively poor family, but much better than the old woman, and passed through the hall to a wooden house twice as large as the old woman's hut, in which there was nothing but a double bed and an old wooden cabinet.
A dark-skinned middle-aged woman was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and an old woman with gray hair sat in front of the window crying helplessly. ”
After comforting the old woman, the old woman came to the bed and sat down, put three fingers on the pulse of the middle-aged woman, and after a while, she opened her eyes and looked at her, and then looked at her tongue before turning her head to the pillar and saying angrily: "Don't you know that your daughter-in-law is pregnant?" ”
"What?" The pillar was stunned when he heard this, and even the old woman was a little stunned when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed, and the pillar hurriedly said: "Haha, it's really good, my daughter-in-law and I have been married for more than ten years, I thought it would be impossible to have children in this life, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, haha, God really has eyes, haha..."
"Happy fart, now that your daughter-in-law is like this, you can still laugh?" The old woman said angrily.
The pillar seemed to react at once, and knelt down in front of the old woman and begged: "Granny Lan, all the mistakes are the fault of the pillar, please save her, even if you want my pillar to be a cow and a horse, I don't have a word." ”
"Hmph, your daughter-in-law is now in the most dangerous stage of pregnancy, and if you are not careful, the child may be lost, you are good, and you still ask others to do such heavy work, this hot day, even if she is in good health, she can't bear such a toss." The old woman's anger did not subside.
Zhuzi's mother and son were shocked when they heard this, and Zhuziniang hurriedly begged: "Yes, yes, Granny Lan has taught her the right lesson, now we know that she will definitely not let her do any more work when she has a child, Granny Lan, you can dissipate your anger, or save their mother and son first." ”
Seeing their attitude of admitting their mistakes, the old woman's anger also disappeared, and then she took out a few gold needles from the small box and pricked a few needles for the middle-aged woman, and then said a few words to the mother and son of the pillar and took Princess Xiangxiang back.
"Mother-in-law, why did the pillar daughter-in-law faint, is it no problem for you to prick so many stitches?" Princess Xiangxiang asked.
"The daughter-in-law of the pillar is in good health, but she is pregnant and working in the sun for a long time, she has a heat stroke, I gave her a few injections to straighten out her qi and blood, and she will wake up after a while, the reason why I said it so seriously just now is to scare the mother and son of the pillar, lest they always use the fact that people can't have children as an excuse to abuse others." The old woman laughed.
"Hehe, I didn't expect my mother-in-law to be a benevolent healer." Princess Xiangxiang also laughed.
Looking at the sincere smile on Princess Xiangxiang's face, the old woman couldn't help nodding secretly, and said in her heart: "This little girl is not only extremely talented, but the most rare thing is that she has a kind heart, and it seems that she is a person who can be trusted. ”
······
On the nameless wasteland, Fang Lin and the Linghua Sect disciples were still confronting the bandit army, no one had the intention of taking the initiative to attack, the combined army formation of the forbidden army and the Southern Regions Army was still trapped to death, the battle there was extremely fierce, although with Fang Lin's interference, the coalition army had no long-range threat, but their losses were still rising, and now nearly fifty soldiers had died, and even the forbidden army had lost four people; The battlefield of the masters in the sky is still not optimistic, and in general it is a stalemate.
On the other hand, the Lin family's eight hundred sergeants have achieved a lot of results, there is no long-range containment, the Lin family's sergeants' attack is decent, although they are small in number, but there are not many of them, coupled with the overall cultivation is high, the battle formation is exquisite, and the cooperation is skillful, at this time, the front army of the bandit army has suffered heavy casualties, and it is about to collapse when it is defeated and retreated.
Fang Lin withdrew his gaze from the sky and scolded in a low voice: "This Meng Xuan is simply a waste, I think even an ordinary martial artist at the beginning of the Reincarnation Realm can drag her to the death, I really don't know how he is sitting and forgetting in this Reincarnation Realm." ”
"Hehe, but fortunately, the Lin family's side is doing a good job, and the other party's former army is about to be unable to bear it." Li Haoran said with a smile.
"By the way, what about the stupid guy who was wrapped in dumplings, can he just let it be killed and wounded?" Wen Yue'er said with some concern.
"Hehe, I'm just killing their arrogance, otherwise this team won't be easy to lead." Fang Lin smiled: "Don't worry, they can't die, only what I stay is what I really need." ”
At this moment, Dongfang Lei's voice came: "The other party has moved, it seems that they can't stabilize anymore!" ”
Everyone hurriedly looked up, and sure enough, the original immovable military formation was slowly retreating, and even some of the crossbowmen, talisman throwers, and Fa Xiu in the back row had already given up the defense of the other party, Lin and the others, turned around and began to attack the Lin family's army.
The casualties of the coalition forces besieged in the center have exceeded 100, and they have been tightly compressed into a small range, but it is precisely because of this, coupled with the fact that some of the troops besieging them have been attracted by the Lin family's army, the defensive burden of those masters of the Reincarnation Realm and the Nai He Realm has been reduced a lot, and even occasionally they can play a beautiful counterattack or two.
Seeing the military array in front of him gradually loosen, Fang Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, gradually, there were only two rows of pikemen left in the middle and back rows, and the heavy shield array in front was also reduced by half, and there was only a row of crossbowmen in the back row watching them nervously.
Fang Lin glanced at Concubine Shu, who immediately took out a feather arrow that was half longer than an ordinary arrow, the whole body was fiery red, and it was also engraved with complex runes. ”
······
The peaceful time always flies, Princess Xiangxiang has been with the old woman for two days, and the mushrooms and flowers and plants they picked back have been dried and carefully put away by Princess Xiangxiang.
Early in the morning, as soon as Princess Xiangxiang finished her morning class, the old woman came over with two bowls of porridge and said with a smile: "Girl, come on, we have something good to eat for breakfast today." ”
Princess Xiangxiang answered, and then jumped into the house with the old woman, as soon as she entered the door, Princess Xiangxiang saw two eggs and a small plate of pickles placed on the ground, Princess Xiangxiang suddenly felt wonderful, and asked: "Mother-in-law, where did these eggs and pickles come from?" ”
"Hehe, it was sent by the pillar yesterday when I asked you to go out to pick herbs, saying that it was to thank my wife for saving his wife and children, hehe, there are not many things, but it is enough for us to fight tooth sacrifices, come on." The old woman laughed.
Princess Xiangxiang sighed, and she was not polite, so she sat opposite the old woman, grabbed an egg, peeled off the shell, took a small bite, and chewed slowly, this is obviously a boiled egg, but at this moment, Princess Xiangxiang felt that there was a sweetness gushing out of her heart and filling the entire mouth, and the aftertaste was endless.
"Simple place, simple people, simple life, simple happiness, simple satisfaction, such simplicity brings people inner fulfillment and touching, once people get rid of the flashiness, abandon the false fame and fortune, the last thing left is not so simple, mortal dust, mortal dust, in fact, this is the real mortal dust······" Princess Xiangxiang's heart seemed to have a flash of lightning, and she slowly closed her eyes.
"Hehe, the little girl has such a good understanding, has she finally realized that step?" The old woman on the side watched all this, took a sip of porridge gently, and said secretly in her heart with a smile.
After a long time, Princess Xiangxiang slowly opened her eyes, although she didn't look changed at the moment, but she was always able to give people a more peaceful, closer feeling, after a while, Princess Xiangxiang jumped up from the ground with excitement and shouted: "Thank you, mother-in-law, I finally realized the true essence of this state of mind!" ”
"Hehe, little girl, it is all your own credit to be able to realize this step, and it has nothing to do with my wife." The old woman said.
Princess Xiangxiang smiled playfully at the old woman: "Hehe, I know, all this was carefully arranged by my mother-in-law, so ah, I must thank my mother-in-law." ”
The old woman smiled when she heard this, and said, "The little girl is sweet-mouthed, hurry up and eat everything, don't waste it, we still have important things to do." ”
······
Huh~~~~ A long sound of breaking the air sounded, and a fiery red light shot towards the bandit army at a speed that surpassed the reaction of the warriors, followed by a huge explosion, a fireball with a diameter of about one zhang rose up, accompanied by bursts of screams and wails, when the fireball rose to a height of three zhang, it suddenly exploded, forming six small fireballs that fell in six directions to the bandits, and suddenly caused a big chaos in the bandits. The formation, which had been somewhat disorganized by the removal of most of the sergeants, collapsed in an instant, and many of the bandit troops with blazing flames fled in all directions, disrupting several military formations near them.
Fang Lin's staff swung forward, all the disciples of the Linghua Sect suddenly moved, the Lingfeng Array of the Wandering Dragon only flashed a few times, and the people of the Linghua Sect had already come to the front of the bandits, Fang Lin, Wen Yue'er, and several other cultivators began to prepare a large-scale lethal law duel without hesitation.
Li Haoran, Dongfang Lei, Qu Shan'er and other melee warriors rushed towards the bandit army in front of them, seeing that Dongfang Lei was about to rush to a tower shield, Ayinnata immediately waved his staff, and a series of Gu poison techniques such as the Force Removal Gu, the Armor Breaking Gu, the Slow Gu, and the Corpse Poison Gu were applied to the tower shield soldier and several soldiers who assisted him around, and then he heard a loud bang, and these soldiers and the tower shield were knocked out by Dongfang Lei's fierce force.
The bandit army with a chaotic formation could simply be said to be vulnerable in the face of the powerful impact of the Linghua Sect's disciples, and by the time the hurried crossbowmen, talisman throwers, and cultivators reacted, the two sides had already formed a stalemate, and at this time, the loud shouts of "Heavenly Thunder Breaking, Flame Dragon Turning, Flying Sand and Walking Stones" and other spells became their talismans, because these large-scale lethal spells were aimed at them.
In less than half a pillar of incense, the entire rear army of the bandit army collapsed on the whole line, followed by the front army, when Fang Lin and the others killed in front of the coalition army, the surviving sergeants of the coalition army were less than a hundred, and even the commander of the forbidden army and the southern region army had killed one each.
The fat man and Huang Li in the sky obviously saw this scene on the ground, and they also knew that this time they were probably losing a lot, and the two of them were not the kind of hypocritical people, they invariably shook off their opponents and rushed towards the remaining bandits, protecting them and retreating quickly.
The battle spirit aunt on the heavenly position and the human position naturally saw it clearly, she knew that it was impossible to do anything, so she did not hesitate to order a retreat, and the Lin family army did not pursue, and gradually, the wasteland returned to calm, only the blood and corpses all over the ground were narrating the battle that had just happened.
After a while, the bandit army retreated cleanly, and at this time, the high-level leaders of the two sides converged together, and an old man with a white beard and white robe walked out of the Lin family's army, came to Fang Lin, Meng Xuan and others with a slight smile, and arched his hand: "Chang Song, the head of the Lin family's caravan, thank you for the help of the generals, and the Lin family will be grateful." ”
At the same time as he spoke, everyone else also bowed their hands in return, after all, the face of a reincarnation realm powerhouse still had to be given, but when everyone was not paying attention, the old man made a gesture to Fang Lin, Fang Lin smiled slightly to show that he understood, Meng Xuan said: "It is the unshirkable responsibility of our imperial team to help the Lin family's caravan, the old gentleman is polite." ”
Fang Lin took a step forward and said, "Elder Chang, where are you going on such a large scale?" ”
"Hehe, Fang Lin Xiaoyou, I didn't expect us to meet in such a situation, since you asked, we have nothing to keep secret, our caravan is going to the royal city of Bo Qibu in exchange for some rare snowy items from them." The old man said.
"The royal city of the Burqi tribe, that's a long way away, you have just been attacked on such a large scale as soon as you leave the country, it seems that the road ahead will be very difficult, I think you might as well go back first, and it will not be too late to go when you are fully prepared." Fang Lin Road.
The old man smiled bitterly: "No, some precious snowy medicinal materials can only be exchanged at this time, if the time is missed, the Lin family will suffer a great loss, hey, it seems that we still underestimate the serious environment of this northern country." ”
At this time, Meng Xuan's heart was constantly scolding these Lin family bastards, but on the surface, he smiled: "Chang Lao, otherwise let's join forces, anyway, we have to go to the Bur Qi department, not to mention that protecting the Lin family's caravan is also the responsibility of every imperial team, and there is also the fact that we have suffered a lot of losses in this battle, if we act alone······" Meng Xuan didn't continue, just smiled bitterly.
Fang Lin laughed in his heart, in fact, he had already prepared a trap for Meng Xuan that she had to drill, if she dared to ignore the Lin family's caravan, as long as this matter reached the ears of the imperial court, her good days would come to an end.
In fact, this caravan is not the Lin family's caravan at all, it's just that Fang Lin arranged in advance Fang Yuanxing and other masters of the Oriental family led two thousand elites under their command to go to the north under the banner of the Lin family, the ultimate goal is naturally Fang Lin's secret strength, but in order to hide people's eyes, the four reincarnation realm powerhouses only reflect one, but the realm powerhouses only reflect half, but even this half also has thirty-four, Meng Xuan couldn't help but secretly speak.
The next thing was that Fang Meteor and the others deliberately attracted the attention of these bandits and attracted them to come and rob, the purpose was to be able to perfectly integrate into Fang Lin's team, so Fang Lin and the others who were hiding in the pile of rocks before would be discovered by the other party, that was because Fang Lin ordered the Emperor Fu Jing who was hidden in the team to send a signal to the other party.
After some miscellaneous work, the main book stepped forward and reported: "General, the battlefield statistics have come out, our army has a total of one hundred and eighty-three people killed and twenty wounded, but after treatment, their injuries have basically recovered and they can participate in the battle, of which the forbidden army has killed twenty-four people, the Southern Regions army has killed one hundred and fifty-nine people, and the disciples of the Linghua faction and the Lin family army have only a few dozen people injured. ”
"What, are you saying that most of our country's army has suffered casualties, but none of their private troops have been killed! How is this possible? Meng Xuan shouted in disbelief, and then she seemed to think of something, her willow eyebrows were raised, she looked at Fang Lin and said viciously: "Are you deliberately hiding your strength so that we can rush to the front to be cannon fodder?" ”
Fang Lin became angry when he heard this, and shouted unceremoniously: "You can see the strength of our people at a glance, is it possible that you, a strong man in the reincarnation realm, are you so unconfident in your eyesight?" As for saying that you suffered heavy casualties and we did not suffer casualties, it was because of the problem of command, you could have paid a small price, but you can see for yourself what you have done as a great general! ”
"I... I did what you said, and if you want to say that there is a problem with the command, it is also your intention! Meng Xuan roared.
"Hmph, you have to think about it yourself, when you first attacked the human bandits, you did what I said, may I ask the general, how much did you lose in that battle? At most, more than a dozen people were slightly injured, but when attacking the Heavenly Throne, did your forbidden army and the Southern Regions army ever obey my command? I haven't given any orders yet, it's good for you to arrogantly rush into other people's military formations, and you, the two strong men of the reincarnation realm are still being pressed and beaten by one person, you still have the face to say! Fang Lin shouted.
"I ······" Meng Xuan was speechless, and the forbidden army and the Southern Regions army, who were still indignant before, also lowered their heads after listening to Fang Lin's words, and then Fang Lin continued: "I know, you military masters don't take me as a hairy boy in their eyes at all, if it weren't for my identity as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites and a messenger of big business, I'm afraid you wouldn't even look at me with a straight eye, how could you listen to my command, military orders can't be issued from the top of the line, and your general has the mistake of being arrogant and going deep alone, It's already a lot of luck if you don't have the whole army wiped out, as the supreme commander, you don't want to think about your own mistakes, but you still have to write and pretend to be here, what kind of general are you? ”
Meng Xuan was dumbfounded by Fang Lin's counting, and some other lieutenants, commanders, or something also lowered their heads, Meng Xuan took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressed the urge to kill Fang Lin on the spot, and said coldly: "Okay, we will all listen to you in the future, but if you also make any mistakes, don't blame me for cutting off your head on the spot!" ”
After speaking, she turned around and roared: "All the troops listen to the order, from now on, Fang Shilang is our supreme commander, his order is the supreme order, if you violate the order and disrespect it, the military law is ruthless!" ”
Dozens of sergeants suddenly agreed, Fang Lin smiled, this was exactly the effect he needed, and said in his heart: "Hehe, in my hands, you will be my soldiers in the future!" ”
······
After Princess Xiangxiang cleaned everything up, she came to the old woman's side, gently held her and said, "Mother-in-law, do we have anything important to do?" ”
"Well, go and get the storage ring out of the dark compartment under the bed." The old woman said with a solemn expression.
Princess Xiangxiang was stunned, but she didn't ask much, and Yi Yan found a small dark compartment under the bed, took out one of the sky blue storage rings, and handed it to the old woman.
The old woman held the storage ring and did not speak, her eyes were slightly blurred, as if she remembered something, Princess Xiangxiang did not bother, and after a while the old woman came back to her senses, spread her hand and gently murmured to the ring: "I thought I would never need you again in this life, but I didn't expect it, hehe, there will be another day to see you." ”
Princess Xiangxiang only seriously observed this ring at this moment, most of the places in the ring are very ordinary, only one point, the ring is not a space gem like an ordinary storage ring, but a blue lily, and the stamen is a beautiful white space gem, Princess Xiangxiang couldn't help but ask with curiosity in her heart: "Mother-in-law, is there any story about this ring?" ”
"Hehe, the little girl is quite clever, hey, this ring is the storage ring that my mother-in-law used to wear, and it is also a symbol of my identity, which contains my mother-in-law's life's work, I thought I was going to bring it into the coffin, but I didn't expect to meet the little girl, hehe, my mother-in-law's originally dead heart is alive again, hehe." The old woman said.
"Mother-in-law, can you tell me your previous story, I can feel that you must be a peerless master, I think your story must be very exciting." Princess Xiangxiang said with a smile in her eyes.
"Hehe, girl, my mother-in-law's experience is in this ring, when the time comes, you can see for yourself, we have to hurry up and make the Soul Snatching Soup now, come." The old woman laughed.
Princess Xiangxiang stopped gossiping after a sigh, and said seriously: "Mother-in-law, what should I do?" ”
The old woman didn't nag anymore, and took Princess Xiangxiang to a side room next to her, and it wasn't until Princess Xiangxiang came in that she didn't know why the old woman didn't let others enter her side room.
The side room is not as leaky as it looks on the outside, on the contrary, it is still extremely luxurious for the warrior, this is not to say that there is any dazzling decoration inside, but the aura in the side room is so rich that it has almost turned into substance, and the entire small room is shrouded in a large array, not only has the effect of gathering spirits, locking spirits, and storing spirits, but also has the effect of protecting and destroying enemies, Princess Xiangxiang is sure that if she breaks into it, it will definitely be a dead end!
There is a moonstone the size of a human head hanging on the roof, and the soft light illuminates the whole room, and along the walls are placed nanmu shelves, on which are placed all kinds of large and small jade boxes, and the boxes are written with the names that make Princess Xiangxiang's heart beat twice and her blood surges; The 10,000-year-old purple nan fruit, the polar soul flower, the nine-turn soul rejuvenation grass, the blazing red plant, and many names that the Xiangxiang princess had never heard of at all······ Who would have thought that these treasures that were enough to break the heads of the entire continent would lie quietly in this inconspicuous little hut?
However, the old woman did not have the slightest intention to explain this, and pulled Princess Xiangxiang, who looked shocked, through a secret door, and came to an empty room, which was not very accurate, because there was a small stove beside the wall on one side of the room, and on it lay a small iron pot that could only hold about ten bowls of water, and nothing else.
The old woman pointed to the iron pot and said: "There is a jade bucket in the corner of the room outside, go fill the iron pot with water in the bucket, remember, don't spill it, it is the water of the spiritual spring 'Atami', which is very rare and rare!" ”
Princess Xiangxiang answered and did according to the old woman's instructions, and the old woman stood by the stove and played a few tricks, and the stove became red, although the flames could not be seen rushing out, but the temperature around was rapidly rising.
At this time, the old woman slowly took out the Chaoyang Jiao mushroom from the storage ring of Princess Xiangxiang and put it into the pot, and then there was no other action, just staring at the iron pot, about another tea time, the water in the pot boiled again, and the old woman took out another mushroom to put into it, and so on, until the water boiled five times, the old woman put all the five kinds of highly poisonous mushrooms into the pot.
After another tea time, the water boiled again, and the old woman ordered: "Take out all the mushrooms in it as fast as you can and throw them into the wooden barrel next to you, quickly!" ”
Princess Xiangxiang didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately followed the instructions, pulling up the afterimage with both hands and throwing all the mushrooms into the barrel in two breaths, and at the same time as Princess Xiangxiang finished her actions, the old woman took out a picked herb and put it into it, and as before, the water boiled seven times, and the old woman put all the seven very ordinary herbs into it, after the water boiled again, the old woman ordered Princess Xiangxiang to take out the herbs, this time the old woman put a blue-purple, The fruit the size of a baby's fist was thrown into the pot and ordered Princess Xiangxiang, "Go and bring the Polar Soul Fixing Flower and the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Grass on the shelf outside, quickly!" ”
"Go and bring the Longevity Fruit, the Life-Sustaining Flower, and the Heaven Resurrection Orchid, quick!"
"Red Blood Flame Yang Ginseng, Holy Pond Golden Lotus Seeds, Quick!"
"Go fetch two bowls of water and fill them up with the evaporated water, quick!"
"Clutch frost leaves, colorful glass branches, fast!"
······
The old woman gave a series of orders, and Princess Xiangxiang was almost always running around the house, making her sweaty, although she didn't understand why the old woman didn't prepare all these things in advance, but now she didn't have time to ask about them.
Princess Xiangxiang didn't remember how many things she had taken, she only knew that the vat in front of her was already full of medicine residue, and the old woman's actions at this time made Princess Xiangxiang stunned.
······
