The situation was indeed as Lu Yuan had originally expected, Fang Tianying's defeat did not end this Black Wind Thief Rebellion. On the contrary, the upheaval has become more and more ambitious.

After defeating the [Eagle King], the Iron Sword Gate and the government took advantage of the victory to attack, and a large number of disciples of the Iron Sword Gate cooperated with the government to hunt down the black wind bandits.

However, the core backbone of the Black Wind Thieves are all swift horse bandits. They rode fast horses, came and went like the wind, and when they hit one place, they would retreat, and they would not stay for long at all.

In this huge encirclement and suppression, except for the extermination of some peripheral bandits, the core backbone did not kill a few at all.

It was as if they were walking dogs, taking the disciples of the Iron Sword Sect and the officers and soldiers of the official mansion to walk in the Luling Mansion.

A cat-and-mouse game of chase and escape is played out everywhere.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

In the face of the Iron Sword Gate and the official mansion with the advantage of the head snake, no matter how fast those foreign Black Wind Thieves run, sooner or later they will be slowly wiped out.

At that time, no matter how powerful Fang Tianying's Eagle King was, without a large number of subordinates, he could only become a bare-bones commander, and he couldn't make any big waves.

In the end, leaving in a gloomy manner should be the only ending for the other party.

Unless.

At this time, the Black Wind Thieves can produce another first-class master to smooth out the gap between the top combat power, so that they can compete with the Iron Sword Gate and the government in terms of momentum.

But is it possible?

For a mobile bandit group, it is already a miracle that it can produce a first-class master. If one pops up, two in a row, then even a fool can see that there is a problem behind this.

Of course, as long as you have absolute strength and the means are clean enough, then even if there is a problem, others will selectively turn a blind eye and never dare to force two more sentences.

"I just don't know if the people behind the Black Wind Thieves have the ability or determination."

Many people speculate in their hearts.

……

Regarding the cat-and-mouse game of the Black Wind Channel, the Iron Sword Gate, and the official mansion, Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention to it except for going to the tavern every day and listening to some latest news from the traveling merchants.

Ever since he heard that Fang Tianying had been defeated, he knew that in a short period of time, there should be no major changes in Luling Mansion.

And no change means stability.

Stability, on the other hand, represents a certain order and security.

Even if this order and security are based on the fact that the dog's brain has been killed outside.

But as long as Yangmei Town is here, there won't be any big problems, isn't it enough?

Compared with paying attention to fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes, Lu Yuan prefers to spend his time practicing martial arts.

"In this world, if there is no strength, it is sin, and it will be slaughtered by others.

I don't want to sin, and I don't want someone else to dictate my fate, so I have to make myself stronger. If you want to become stronger, you have to practice martial arts, this is the ability to settle down. "He already had an idea in his heart.

Danger.

This turmoil vividly taught Lu Yuan a lesson.

What is the end of not having strength?

Lao Chen and Lao Bantou are the most obvious examples.

The two of them have a simple temperament, and they are also hot-hearted, and they can help each other with anything on weekdays, and they are standard warm-hearted.

But such a good old man, who stayed peacefully in the mountains, was killed at home by someone.

The sinister nature of the rivers and lakes, the ruthlessness of society, and the cruelty of people's hearts are vividly displayed.

"That's a lesson from the past." Lu Yuan was vigilant in his heart, and then put it into action.

The most obvious change is that the time he spends practicing internal strength every day has increased from the original two hours to the current four hours. As for the time to practice the palm technique, it is still the same for two hours.

Every day just to practice, he needs six hours, which is already half of the day.

It can be described as diligent.

However, in this way, Lu Yuan's consumption of meat and medicinal materials suddenly increased wildly.

Internal force is the result of the combination of the soul and the essence and blood in the body.

In terms of soul, Lu Yuan has no problem, he crossed over and absorbed the original soul, and the power of the soul is already stronger than ordinary people.

A powerful soul not only brings a powerful sense, but also allows him to repeatedly sense the location of his prey and sense the danger that is approaching when he is hunting.

It also brought a strong foundation and recovery speed, which was enough to support the consumption of this high-intensity cultivation internal strength.

But in terms of flesh and blood, there is no way to do it.

After all, he is a soul wearer, not a body, but there is no other body for him to fuse.

"The physical body is the source of essence and blood, if I forcibly squeeze the qi and blood in the body and transform it into internal force, it will inevitably cause a shortage of qi and blood, and the body's vitality will be greatly damaged.

At that time, it will directly turn into jerky, and it is not a lie to be killed on the spot.

In order to cultivate internal strength, squeezing oneself into a dry man, this goes against the original intention of practicing martial arts to strengthen the body, and it is not advisable to put the cart before the horse. Lu Yuan saw it very clearly.

He is an immortal with an infinite future, and there is no need to kill himself for the sake of momentary strength.

That's really buying and returning the pearls, stupid to home.

Fortunately, he has the talent of immortality, and this talent has an invisible benefit in addition to giving him an immortal lifespan.

That's the freeze frame of physical fitness.

This is an invisible benefit that Lu Yuan discovered after careful experience and observation in the past two years.

After crossing the inheritance of the original body, from that moment on, his physical time was forever frozen in that moment.

In other words, Lu Yuan's body will always remain at the age of sixteen in the future.

Sixteen years old, the same age as flowers.

Men who don't want to go back to juvenile? Who isn't a teenager?

Others may only have regrets and imagination in their hearts.

But Lu Yuan wanted to tell them loudly here: "You can only think about it, but I will always be a sixteen-year-old boy. ”

"My goldfinger said."

Time stands still.

It is not only youth that is fixed, but also lifespan, and the foundation of Lu Yuan's body.

In the freeze time, he will always maintain the youthful vitality of the sixteen-year-old, and the body will also maintain the peak quality of the sixteen-year-old.

That is to say, as long as the body is not destroyed all at once, let life be completely cool. Then other small problems of practicing internal strength and squeezing excessive qi and blood, this sentence is not at all in the body of an immortal.

Isn't it just a lack of qi and blood?

Eat more meat and provide some energy supply, then the body will instantly return to its peak.

The body is eternal, an ability given by the gift of immortality that will never change.

What Lu Yuan needs to do is to recharge this ability in order to keep it running.

"So, while others can only practice internal strength for two hours a day, I can now practice for four, six, or even twelve hours a day.

As long as the energy supply can be guaranteed and this lock can be maintained, then there will be no problems with the body at all. ”

People who often watch martial arts movies and television dramas or novels will probably often see these few sentences.

Whoever has twenty internal strength, whoever has fifty internal strength, and the protagonist even simply has a hundred years of internal strength.

These are concepts put forward by novels, film and television dramas.

As Lu Yuan, who has actually practiced martial arts and collected a lot of information about the rivers and lakes, he can accurately tell everyone that in this world, this concept exists.

The specific principle is probably the essence blood theory mentioned above.

Because the human body has a limit, and the foundation of the body is there, the soul and qi and blood in many people's bodies can only support a person to practice internal strength for two hours a day.

In this way, the intensity of internal strength that a person can increase every day is actually limited.

And in the case that most people increase their intensity about the same, people who have practiced for a long time are not high in internal strength?

Therefore, you have 20 internal strength, I have 50 internal strength, and when everyone's move skills are about the same level, can't you rely on your deep internal strength to directly crush the opponent?

Therefore, whether a person's internal strength is deep or not, and how many years of skill there are, in the rivers and lakes, is actually one of the criteria for measuring whether a person's strength is strong.

Of course, there are also some people who are gifted, have a good natural foundation, and can practice for a longer time.

Some people are just better than others.

If you can practice for three hours a day, or even four hours, you can achieve the other party's achievements in half or even less time.

Practicing martial arts is actually a very talented thing.

"Fortunately, with the talent of immortality, I can barely be considered a genius." Sorting out these, Lu Yuan was in a good mood instantly: "That's fine." ”

But happy is happy, but thinking about the protagonists of the novel he saw before the crossing, he was still slightly disappointed with this lock: "Compared to practicing hard every day, staying up for time, and liver level, I still don't want to work hard."

After the protagonist falls off the cliff, he gets an adventure, not only to practice magic skills, but also to increase the internal strength of different fruits and beasts, when can you give me one time?

I'm just trying to hang up......"

Thinking back to his research on his own golden finger in the past two years, as well as the discovery of buffs such as the aura of luck as a traverser, Lu Yuan was full of resentment in his heart.

In fact, since I obtained the Liuyun Palm, I found out that this is a martial arts world.

When he was hunting in the mountains, he didn't run to the cliffs and caves and the like.

But after running twenty or thirty mountain cliffs and caves in a row, and carefully searching the mountain range area within a radius of hundreds of miles, he didn't find any cliffs and caves, any predecessors' bones, divine inheritance, and the like.

Not even the beast saw a shadow.

Rather, there were some ferocious beasts and disgusting poisonous insects, which were everywhere, and he almost fell for it several times.

In the end, after hitting the wall dozens of times in succession and confirming that he really didn't have the aura of the protagonist, Lu Yuan relented and honestly accepted his fate.

Since then, he has been down-to-earth, day after day, and has diligently cultivated martial arts.

"However, according to the current progress, the time for cultivating internal strength has doubled every day, and the accumulation of internal force and the opening of meridians and acupoints have also become faster.

Maybe refining the hand Taiyin Lung Sutra does not need to be three years as originally thought, only one and a half years is enough.

Even if I work harder, I might be able to practice it in a year. Lu Yuan thought so.

The benefits of improving the time spent practicing internal strength are all-encompassing.

It is not only the accumulation of internal force, but also a breakthrough in its own realm.

If he can practice the Taiyin Lung Meridian for a year, and then spend more than a year practicing the Yang Ming Large Intestine Meridian, then he can become a third-rate expert in the rivers and lakes.

In this way, after five years, it will become a third-rate in the rivers and lakes. This achievement, if you think about it, seems to be ......"

Lu Yuan thought about the deeds of other predecessors, felt a slight heart attack, and complained: "Forget it, it has changed from not entering the stream to entering the stream." A third-rate is a third-rate, it's better than nothing. ”

"Practice and practice, I love practice"

Humming a nonsense out-of-tune tune in his mouth, Lu Yuan played a set of palm techniques, warmed up, and then went back to the room to practice internal skills.

Without the luck of the protagonist, he is not a kryptonite player, and as an ordinary immortal, he can only rely on a good liver to fight hard with others.

Fortunately, according to the current progress, maybe you can survive?

……

The rivers and lakes gradually fell into peace.

Lu Yuan was busy practicing and working hard, and he was desperate for his liver internal skills. On the other hand, Sun Siwen also missed the party with him, and started a new round of retreat and hard study, preparing to attack the autumn test in a few months.

It's the end of May, and there is only April left before the autumn exam in early October.

For Sun Siwen, who is interested in taking the examination to make a name for himself, there is not much time left for him to prepare for the imperial examination.

However, memorizing the essay questions is not too difficult for him, a person who has praised and accumulated a lot of experience.

？

Well, at least in Sun Shusheng's heart, he felt that it was not too difficult.

After passing the show test in one round, people's hearts have already swelled a little.

However, the exam questions are not big, but the questions outside the exam room make Sun Siwen a little big.

If you just study the exam questions and prepare for the imperial examination, you can just study quietly at home.

However, the examination is different from the previous talent test, which can be taken in a small county.

The venue for the examination was held in the county town.

Yuzhang County is more than 700 miles away from Dayu County, and the road is long, and it takes more than half a month just to hurry.

But when is it now?

To say that the chaos is a bit too much, but the bandits are everywhere, but it is not bad.

Now the entire Luling Mansion is full of bandits.

The big gangsters who were attracted by the black wind thief's name simply don't know how many there are.

At this time, these big cowards merged with the Black Wind Thieves, ravaging Luling Mansion and making a mess here. Even the surrounding provinces of Luling Mansion have been slightly affected, and there has been a lot of chaos.

In this case.

You let Sun Siwen, a weak scholar, go all the way to the county town for scientific research, isn't that just asking for someone's life?

Those bandits kill people, but it doesn't matter if you are a scholar or not, whether you have a talent or not?

People kill people for only two things, one is wealth and the other is cool.

Coincidentally.

Scholars who rush to take the exam usually have a lot of travel expenses. And the scholar is white, white, handsome, not even worse than the village girl in the countryside.

For some unscrupulous bandits, some people are still quite good.

When Lu Yuan was in the tavern, he heard from time to time that some handsome scholars were poisoned by the Black Wind Thieves. In the end, the wealth was lost, and even the people were lost, making a big joke.

Sun Siwen, as a frequent visitor to the tavern, naturally heard about this.

Therefore.

As a person who thinks he is a beautiful man, Sun Shusheng began to worry.

"Beauty, sometimes it's a problem." When he thinks like this, people are even more distressed.
