"Good boy, it's only been a long time, and the official position is actually the same as mine, okay!" A tall, thin, and energetic white-bearded old man stroked his beard with one hand and said happily to Jiazi.

"Uncle Shi, we haven't seen each other for five years, it's normal for me to have some achievements, you seem to have been in charge of the affairs of a state at my age." Jiazi shook his head, not taking the old man's words to heart.

He is now about to be forty, and since he followed his master into the Qin Heavenly Prison, he has dealt with no less than a hundred anecdotes, large and small, most of which are yellow-level, and there are many Xuan-level, almost every time it is very dangerous, if he can't go further, it is estimated that there is no hope in this life.

"You kid be humble." The old man shook his head.

The little guy in front of him is almost what he watched grow up, since he was a child, he has far more tenacity and perseverance than his brothers, he learned martial arts when he was a child, and others were lazy if they were lazy, this little guy is good, not only secretly contact him privately, but also often ask the teacher alone.

To be honest, he was not surprised at all that the other party was able to achieve today. It is more of an elder's relief to see that the diligent younger generation has achieved something, and the so-called God rewards diligence, nothing more than that.

"By the way, how is your master now?" The old man asked, his eyes full of concern.

Before Shu asked for help, he didn't participate because he wanted to preside over the affairs of Xuanzhou, and Jiazi's master was different, he had just stepped down at that time and passed the position to his disciples, so he was sent out by the royal family of the Mirror Kingdom.

Although he did not participate in the battle on the spot, he heard from several old friends who came back that the battle situation there was very tragic, and Shu suffered heavy losses this time.

Hearing the old man ask about the news about his master, Jiazi said with a heavy face: "I went to see the master before, and the situation is not optimistic, it hurts the root, and the martial arts have fallen to a big realm. ”

Jiazi picked out some things about the master's return and explained them to the old man one by one.

Jiazi's master, before retreating, he was still breaking the realm of hundreds, this time he went to Shu to help, several key tricks were seriously damaged, and his cultivation collapsed in an instant, if it weren't for the royal family of the Mirror Kingdom to take out a lot of treasured pills, coupled with the strength of the martial artist's physique, it is estimated that he would not even be able to keep the realm of Dou Shi.

When he went to see the master before, he was worried, but the master could see it, and comforted him in turn, saying that he had retired, and he would honestly live for the rest of his life in the future, what should he do with such a high level of cultivation, and now that he has fallen into the realm, if something big happens in the future, it is estimated that the court will be embarrassed to disturb him, an old man, and save a lot of trouble.

Although the master's words were very free and easy, as if he had seen it, Jiazi still saw a deeply hidden loss in his eyes.

After practicing martial arts all his life, the old man would have had the opportunity to be among the thousands of battles, but who would have thought that Lin Lao would encounter this kind of thing, and the road ahead seemed to have encountered a landslide, which was cut off in an instant, and then there was a cliff of ten thousand feet.

"Hey, that's fine, he can have a good rest in the future, so many senior brothers in the past, almost all of them died in the process of dealing with anecdotes, only me and senior brother are left, I was worried that my senior brother would walk in front of me one day, after all, his vicious and hateful character, he has to take care of any bad things, and it is only a matter of time before he encounters a ghost." The old man muttered and chattered for a long time.

In the six states of the mirror country, except for the other five states where the imperial capital is located, each state has a branch of the Qin Tianjian to oversee the handling of anecdotes of a state.

Other states, as long as the anecdote has little impact, have generally taken a more mild approach.

Or confine down a place, or expel the source of the anecdote, those strange things, and it will only be exterminated if it is really not possible.

On the Bazhou side, it is completely the opposite, for all strange things, as long as there is a human life in the hand, they will not let go, which is very domineering.

In the mirror country, the one that fights with strange things the most and suffers the most casualties is Bazhou every year.

As a junior brother, the old man has persuaded Jiazi's master countless times, his own senior brother, but unfortunately it is useless, every time he is a haha to take care of him.

Later, seeing that he couldn't say anything, the old man didn't waste his tongue, but every time Master Jiazi transferred people to their side, he was always allowed to go, and he never stopped him.

In the old man's opinion, since he can't persuade his senior brother, he can only give his senior brother a little help in terms of manpower, and he can't watch him die again and again, fighting a battle with a huge disparity in strength.

The old man raised his head, looked at the tall Jiazi in front of him and said, "Since you kid has become the head of a state, don't be like your master in the future." ”

Hearing the old man's words, Jiazi neither agreed nor objected, but reached out and touched his head and smirked, pretending not to understand what the old man said.

Seeing Jiazi's appearance, the old man knew that he didn't listen, so he could only sigh and say: "That's it, if you want to learn from your master, your uncle will follow you, after all, it is impossible to take you with you at all times, if you lack manpower in the future, tell your uncle, don't be embarrassed to speak, as long as the master is still in Xuanzhou for a day, he will definitely not sit idly by." ”

"Got it, Uncle Shi, I won't be polite to you in the future." Jiazi smiled and said to the old man.

"Why are you so obedient now?" The old man shook his head speechlessly and said angrily.

For the attitude of the old man, Jiazi doesn't care, in his opinion, the master's choice is undoubtedly the most correct, these ghost things, don't kill them, they have to turn the sky upside down, thinking that the boss is the eldest and they are the second.

He doesn't care about other places, as long as he is still in Bazhou for a day, human beings are the masters of this land, and if you want to turn the sky upside down, you have to ask him if he agrees.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little worried, there have been a lot of brothers who have died over the years, if there is no new power injection, it is estimated that Bazhou will only be the same as other states in the future, when the time comes, a small forbidden land for a hundred miles, a large forbidden land for a thousand miles, and the living space of human beings will be constantly reduced.

I hope that when I see Brother Zhou and Brother Wang this time, I can get good news from them." ’

Jiazi sighed in his heart.

"By the way, Uncle Shi, can you tell me what the situation is on the side of Shu, turning the land of a state into a forbidden land, this loss is too great, although the territory of Shu is larger than ours, but if you lose the land of this state, it is estimated that it will be difficult in the future." Jiazi asked curiously.

Regarding the situation on the Shu side, he knew some from Di Bao and the master, but not much.

I only know that there is a very powerful ghost king over there, who slaughtered all the humans in a state in a short period of time, creating a terrifying ghost land, which is full of yin energy, resentment, and death energy.

It is said that many of the ordinary people who were killed have been transformed into zombies, and the souls of the people who died tragically cannot rest in peace, and often the whole village has become ghosts, and there is no living space for the living.

The old man just thought about it and said: "The situation over there is more complicated, I don't know much news, the ghost thing that caused this incident calls himself the King of the West, it is said that he is the king of Shu who doesn't know how many years ago, not only is the force outstanding, but also the army is very good at fighting, there are nine ghost generals under his command, each of whom is a person who can fight well, and there are countless ghost soldiers under his command." ”

"The King of the West was able to turn the land of a state into a Jedi in a short period of time, it is said that he found a Yin and Yang Realm, and then communicated with the Yellow Spring, accumulated for hundreds of years, and finally released the Yin and Netherworld Qi in it in just a few days, which led to the tragedy." The old man lamented.

Since ancient times, the territory has been more prosperous than the mirror country, and there are hundreds of millions of people in one state, and so many people have all died overnight.

If it hadn't happened suddenly, Shu had not prepared, and maybe it would have been able to suppress the incident, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes.

"In order to prevent these Yin Qi from spreading to other places, the Master Xuankong, the national teacher of the Shu Kingdom, launched a master's supernatural power, and finally succeeded in preventing the incident from worsening after paying all the longevity yuan."

"Losing the Xuankong Master, no one in Shu can suppress the King of the West, the royal family of Shu asked for help from the Mirror Kingdom, in order to get the help of the Mirror Kingdom, it is said that they paid a great price, including many secret treasures treasured by the Shu Royal Family. In the end, the three parties fought a big battle, and after negotiations, there was a current pattern. Within a state, respect the king of the west, and the king of the west shall not occupy other state cities of Shu without authorization. ”

When he couldn't speak of the Xuankong Master, the old man's gaze couldn't help but dim a little. Although the other party is from Buddhism and does not deal with the Taoist family where he is located, he is worthy of his admiration by virtue of the fact that the other party can make such a feat of sacrificing his life for righteousness.

"By the way, not long after, the royal family should issue a batch of materials, and when the time comes, you can make good use of it, and if you use it well, you may be able to improve your realm by one or two ranks." The old man patted Jiazi on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

Troubled times are coming, if you want to protect yourself, you must have enough strength, otherwise having too many external objects is just a castle in the air, and under the crushing of the general trend, you can only be reduced to powder in the end.

Jiazi nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, I know." ”

Since the old man said so, thinking that this batch of supplies had been properly distributed, he instantly had an idea in his heart.

He said to the old man sincerely: "If Uncle Shi can trust me, don't rush to use these materials. ”

The old man frowned, then stretched out, although he didn't know why Jiazi said this, he still nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you, but I can only give you two months at most, if it's too long, I can afford to wait, and others can't afford to wait." After all, time is precious now, and every point of strength improvement is a good thing. ”

Jiazi nodded, "It's natural. ”

After some conversation, the two of them were speechless, sitting on their horses and slowly moving along the road, surrounded by the elites of various departments drawn from Xuanzhou and Bazhou.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and both of them were strong in force, and their ears and eyes were clear, so they were naturally the first to find the person who came.

When they looked up, they saw a spy in black leather armor with three flags on his back riding in the direction of the two of them.

He turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, clasped hands with the two of them, and said, "Venerable Master, twenty miles ahead is Qingtan City." ”
