Chapter 212: Dustless Visits
Hopefully, the Legion will not sit idly by, knowing that one of the tasks they have been sent to the far east is to weaken the power of the Otto Empire as much as possible. And helping the resistance groups of the Emerald Principality to avoid this disaster is equivalent to planting a nail in the rear of the Otto Empire, making it difficult for them to sleep. Although it seems that this task is extremely difficult at the moment, Qi Lang and they are duty-bound.
In order to prevent the Tiger Cavalry from making a comeback in a very short period of time, the task was immediately assigned. Gulf led a team of archers to choose their own bunkers and help repair the fortifications of the city wall, Jira took a few fast-legged young men and Parry out of the town to spy on the movements of the Tiger Cavalry, Ou Wu led the soldiers of the stormtrooper to patrol the periphery, and Lucy and a few other amiable female soldiers, Qingguo and Atcha, helped Ji Meng's Saint Cultists enter the town to evacuate the townspeople. As for Joanna, as she requested, she and Qi Lang stayed together inch by inch, watching over her boyfriend like a shadow.
The first night passed like this, it was quite peaceful, it is estimated that the Tiger Cavalry still has lingering fears about those thunder groups, even if they want to kill and take revenge, they have to settle their wounded first, and at the same time, they have to spend a lot of effort to drive away the fear.
But early the next morning, an uninvited guest arrived. The visitor was not a heavily armed Tiger Cavalry thug, but an old man with gray hair and a slow walk. Owu and Clettu shouted at him outside the town for a long time, but unfortunately they did not understand the language between them, and the visitor did not introduce his identity clearly for a long time. Thanks to a few sentinels in the town, they were quite clever, and when they saw that the situation was different, they immediately rushed down to relieve the siege of Ouwu, and the news they brought back almost made Qi Lang jump with excitement - the person who came claimed to be dustless!
By the time Qi Lang ran out of town to greet the distinguished guests as fast as he could, something unfortunate had happened to the legend of the fairy wind and bones—a piece of his robe had been torn off by Leo, and his graceful demeanor had already left him, and he was now blowing his beard and glaring at the big dog, looking at it very much and wanting to conjure up the bamboo sword and repair the vicious dog and its equally unreasonable master.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Dustless. Qi Lang walked up to the old man in three steps and two steps, and bowed respectfully, "I think I have to introduce you, this is Ouwu, my best friend." The man who broke your clothes is called Leo, and he is his pet...... Calm down, I can assure them that they have no ill intentions. ”
"It's not a good sign that it's not going to be a good teacher. The dustless old man shook the snow-white cotton robe, and said with a funny look, "How long have you not fed this beast bones? This vicious dog probably took a fancy to this old bone on me, and even took a paw from it to say hello, if I hadn't carried a cane with me, I'm afraid my calf would have become its breakfast." ”
Qi Lang noticed that there was a pine branch lying horizontally under Leo's feet, which had been broken into two at the moment, and it seemed that there was indeed a big misunderstanding between this man and a dog just now. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I hope it's not a precious treasure, as far as I know, Ou Wu has no savings, and I'm afraid that the compensation for the property will have to be paid from public funds." ”
The dustless old man stretched out his arm to Qi Lang, and said with a smile: "There is no need to pay for the robe, but when the person is old, his legs and feet are not very convenient, I only need a cane." ”
Qi Lang turned into a humanoid crutch, obediently put it under the arm of the dustless old man, and walked back to the town with his arms. This is really a big surprise, Qi Lang has been hoping to have the opportunity to meet the dustless old man again, and ask him to give him a few more words about the relevant content of cultivator training, this period of time, he has accumulated too many questions in his heart, and he needs the treasure of the Mingyu Kingdom to explain it well.
Mr. Wuchen did not walk into the hall in the middle of the town, rest his feet, drink a cup of tea, and then open his chatterbox, as Qi Lang expected. After crossing the twenty or thirty-meter-long stone bridge, he spared Qi Lang's humanoid crutch, found a flat boulder by himself, sat down gently, and looked Qi Lang up and down with eyes full of appreciation.
At this time, Ji Meng and the others had already received the news, and they gathered one after another, standing on both sides with bated breath like onlookers watching a rare treasure. However, before the dustless old man spoke, no one dared to come up and disturb.
"You're that person. After a moment of silence, the dustless old man who had been brushing his beard finally came out, but his sentence was still so unfathomable that it was confusing.
Qi Lang quickly recalled in his mind, he remembered, the "that person" in the mouth of the dustless old man seemed to be the one who wanted to save the biggest crisis in the world, that is to say, this was an affirmation and praise, so he bowed again to express his gratitude, as for what he wanted to thank, he himself couldn't say clearly.
However, just as Qi Lang was about to ask his own question, the old man actually rushed to bring out another question: "Qi Lang, I didn't misremember your name, right? Of course I didn't remember wrong, if someone whispered it in your ear more than ten times a day, even if you were old and confused, you wouldn't be mistaken." ”
Qi Lang's face turned red, he heard the ridicule of the dustless old man, so he was a little embarrassed, but at the same time a little sweet—it turned out that Princess Mi Rong had to chant her name more than ten times a day.
"You're not confused, Mr. Dustless. He scratched his head again, "My name is Qi Lang, I met you in Yunyang City, and under your guidance, ......"
The dustless old man laughed and waved his hand, stopping Qi Lang from introducing himself: "Don't worry, young man, just kidding, I always remember you." I said I'd keep an eye on you, but have you forgotten? I'm here to get a real glimpse of what that key person of ours is doing. ”
Qi Lang's expression became serious: "Since the farewell of Yunyang City, I have been cultivating hard every day......
But before he could finish his words, the dustless old man interrupted again: "I already feel it, young man, you are really talented, and now you have reached the strength of a mid-level swordsman, probably more than three years earlier than I expected." Thinking that during this period, you have had another adventure, it is estimated that there should be a master similar to me who has used his life's work to help you improve, and at the same time, you have far exceeded expectations in the cultivation of the meridians, which makes your development on the two paths extremely smooth. It seems that I was wrong, and this is a good sign, too good to be better. ”
mentioned the fact that the master used his life's work to help, Qi Lang probably guessed that it should be the credit of the Wenchang Grand Master, who must have done something else in addition to helping himself get out of trouble. However, according to the dustless old man, he has reached the strength of a middle-level swordsman in the combat level of a cultivator, which is really a bit unexpected, it seems that the Wenchang archmage, who has never seen each other, has done a great deed, in addition to the gift of a few treasures, he also helped to improve his strength by the way. For this reason, Qi Lang should indeed go all out to help the so-called Lingbei branch of the Zunsheng Sect tide over the difficulties.
As for the cultivation of the meridians, it is very likely that it is a gift from those few wolf tooth necklaces. Qi Lang still remembered the changes that had occurred when he solved the puzzle a few times, and the strengthening of internal forces and meridians had been extremely obvious at that time, but what did that have to do with the biggest crisis in the world?
"Mr. Wuchen, Qi Lang didn't mean to hide this matter, but I guess the changes in me are very likely to be brought about by this thing. Qi Lang then pulled his collar open, revealing the string of wolf tooth necklaces, one as red as blood, one as black as ink, one completely transparent, and one with a faint purple, and the other two were still milky white.
The dustless old man raised his eyebrows in surprise. "You've got a lot of scars on your body—growing in battle is the key to the Warrior's advancement. He smiled and helped Qi Lang re-tie his collar, patted his chest again and said, "One day, you will truly appreciate its benefits, of course, you will experience unbearable pain in the meantime, but at that time, you will find that it is all worth it." ”
The dustless old man said a pun, Qi Lang heard it, and listening to his words, it was not yet the time to reveal the answer. In fact, Qi Lang really hoped that the dustless old man could solve the remaining two puzzles together, and it was not easy to be kept in the dark, and Qi Lang even suspected that he would suffer from insomnia soon.
"I guess you've practiced the art of flying now, right?" Finally, the dustless old man made the matter a little more concrete.
Qi Lang nodded with some regret: "I have tried a few times, and I have succeeded, if you use all your strength, you should be able to fly seven or eight meters high, but it is still far from your level." ”
"That's it......" The Dustless Old Man's tone seemed to be a little frustrated, but his eyes were still full of encouragement, "That's already rare, after all, you have never been carefully guided, and if you want to move like electricity in your body, so as to create a magnetic field in your body that resists the gravitational pull of the earth, you need to advance to the level of a Sage." In my opinion, it will take at least three years for you to cross that threshold. ”
It's only been three years?Qi Lang heard this prediction, and his heart was full of expectations: "Are you saying that as long as I train hard, I can reach the level of a saint in another three years?"
"Maybe shorter. The dustless old man smiled and gave an affirmative answer, "Of course, that still needs to be able to cooperate with external conditions, for example, you must find an extremely suitable place to cultivate, because our cultivators pay attention to absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth." ”
