Bai Qi patted Qin Ke's shoulder and said gloomily: "I was young at the time, but I also knew a little bit of the inside story. At that time, there was a split within Jicheng, followed by a mutiny, and a drought in the south......"

However, everyone seemed to turn a blind eye to the catastrophe, and everyone was only concerned about going to the glorious Jicheng to seize power, and no one issued an order for disaster relief. Bai Qi smiled bitterly, "Some of my senior brothers have personally gone out to help the disaster, but when everyone came back, they had a depressed expression on their faces. When I asked them what was going on, they only sighed and said that there were too many to save them......"

He suddenly folded his hands and shook at Qin Ke: "It's the Mo family who can't stand Brother Qin." ”

Qin Ke was a little dazed by his sudden gift, and hurriedly raised his hand to support him, saying, "What are you doing? It's not your fault." ”

Bai Qi said righteously: "Although it is not my doing, as an ink person, I should have the responsibility of correcting the ink door and reviving the Mo family, and Brother Qin can afford this worship." ”

Qin Ke looked at his appearance, and the gloom in his heart was suddenly swept away: "Is it possible that you ink masters are all like you, it feels like you will hold a sword at any time to save the people from fire and water......

"The teacher's teachings, I don't dare to forget them for a day, but I have a small strength, and I can only do some small things within my ability. Bai Qi said: "But Brother Qin is different, you have such cultivation at a young age, and you will definitely do a lot in the future!"

"Don't praise me, don't praise me. Qin Ke sighed and waved his hand: "I can't be a person like you ink masters, I just want to save my master, and then go back to the village to farm together......"

Bai Qi was slightly surprised, and was about to continue asking, but was interrupted by a voice.

"Master, I buried the boss and the proprietress together, and set up a sign, but I can't write, you, can you help me write a few words?"

Qin Ke was slightly stunned, sighed again, and said lazily while following behind Chu Gou: "I said that I am not your master, don't scream one by one, do you hear!"

Bai Qi couldn't help but smile, led the three war horses left by the cavalry, and walked over together.

In the next few days, the three people and three horses traveled all the way east, out of the mountain path, and then to Yima Pingchuan, looking from afar, there was a desolate scene.

Although the Mo family has a very large territory, there is indeed a lot of land that is difficult to cultivate, so Qin Ke and Bai Qi are not very surprised, but Chu Gou has his eyes wide all the way, looking at the endless loess and a few vultures hovering in the sky, and fussed: "Master, this is the Mo family, the number one power in the world, how can it be desolate like this?"

"Don't call me Master. Qin Ke rolled his eyes, what Bai Qi said before setting off that day was really right, this kid is simply a self-acquaintance, once he gets up, he can't get rid of it, this master's title, he called all the way, and he has scolded him a few times, but he is giggling, not afraid at all.

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.

Qin Ke sighed secretly, in fact, in the final analysis, it was just that he was a little soft-hearted. Speaking of which, today's Chu Gou is very much like himself at the beginning, but when he first met his master, he was not as cheeky as him, and it was only later that he gradually showed a little stubbornness.

"Master, you see, these ugly birds have followed us all the way, why don't you shoot them down, and then I'll make you a barbecue to eat?" Chu Gou looked at the sky, and couldn't help licking his lips, a little unable to control the saliva overflowing from his mouth.

Qin Ke glanced up and didn't bother to pay attention to him: "What are you doing when you shoot down?" That's a vulture, do you think vulture meat is delicious? That thing eats carrion, its body is full of bones, and it stinks." Let's eat dry food. ”

Chu Gou said in surprise: "The meat of this thing stinks?" Thinking about it, he became even more disgusted with these vultures, "This obscure thing, and eating carrion, what do you mean, looking forward to the death of a few of us?"

As he spoke, he untied his bow, drew it with great difficulty, and shot an arrow at the vultures.

The bow was left behind by the fleeing cavalry, along with the arrows. And Chu Gou, a man who had never practiced archery at all, had any accuracy, only to see that the arrow flew up crookedly for a while, and even the vulture's tail could not touch it, so it was blown down in the wind and inserted into the sand.

Chu Gou didn't believe in this evil, and shot a few arrows with great force, but except for one arrow that almost touched the vulture's claws, the other arrows were even worse than the first one, and all of them were scattered around.

The vultures were still hovering over the trio's heads, and they were making ugly noises, as if mocking Chu Gou's incompetence.

Qin Ke had a headache when he saw it, so he simply took off the bow behind his back, and pulled out an arrow made of gluttonous teeth from the quiver on his waist, and then wound the bow, just with one force, the entire bow was already full!

This bow was sold to him by Orion when he was in Jingwu, and this Orion's father was a craftsman with a good handiwork, so the power of this "family heirloom" was naturally fierce.

Qin Ke brought it all the way to the Tang Kingdom, in the palace, he couldn't use it, and it was too late to face Lu Ming and the others, and now, he finally let this bow show its edge again, and as soon as his fingers loosened, the arrow flashed away like lightning.

Then, the vultures screamed, and several vultures scattered, leaving only one with a few flapping wings and sprinkling a few drops of blood, and then fell from mid-air.

"This gluttonous arrow is indeed sharp. Bai Qi looked at Qin Ke in amazement, "The bow is also a good bow, and Brother Qin's archery skills are even better." ”

"Can you stop and stop boasting...... I don't think you've been praising me all the way, but in fact, my archery skills are far worse than Abu's. Qin Ke smiled helplessly, and didn't explain what kind of sacredness Abu was, he only glared at Chu Gou and shouted: "Why are you stunned, go pick up arrows." This arrow is precious, and if you lose it, you will look good. ”

"Okay, Master, you're waiting for me!"

Chu Gou laughed, Qin Ke saw that he was skillful in horseback riding, and he couldn't see that he had only learned to ride a horse for a few days.

According to his own explanation, he was quietly led and ridden when he brushed the horse for the guest before, and was found and scolded by the proprietress for a while afterwards, and now he has such a good war horse, and he is almost about to treat it as a wife, and he keeps whispering to it when brushing the horse......

Bai Qi watched Chu Gou happily pick up arrows, and couldn't help laughing, tugged at the reins with both hands, and said to Qin Ke: "Brother Qin, it's better to rest here for a while, it's been twenty miles, and I'm not in a hurry at this time." ”

Qin Ke nodded, pulled a handful of reins, and let the war horse slowly stop, and the two of them found a small dirt slope to block the wind together, and then jumped off the horse, and very quickly pulled out the brush from the bag on the horse's back, dipped the water in the water bladder, and brushed the sand on the nostrils and mouth of the war horse.

This is a marching system, some armies stop every ten miles, some armies stop every twenty miles, when stopping, always do not forget to scrub the nostrils and mouths of the war horses, and then let them rest a little and eat some forage.

After a while, Chu Gou came back with a few arrows, still holding the vulture that was basically out of breath in his hand, and said adoringly as soon as he got off the horse: "Master, your arrow is too accurate, it hits the neck, or teach me too?"

Qin Ke took the gluttonous tooth arrow he handed over, found a rag and wiped it casually, then stuffed it back into the quiver, and squinted at Chu Gou: "Do you still learn archery?" Do you think you can lay a good foundation for qi and blood cultivation before you arrive in Jinzhou?"

Chu Gou stuck out his tongue, in fact, he just said casually, he also knew that although he had begun to practice under Qin Ke's guidance in the past few days, he hadn't even entered the door after all, and the most basic qi and blood induction was very difficult for him, not to mention condensing the qi and blood and forming a sea of qi at the dantian.

Qin Ke said that as long as he could achieve this step, he would be a serious cultivator who had stepped into the path.

"Brush the horse and do your homework here. Qin Ke said softly, although he said that he had never been a teacher, but since he had promised it, he had to do it as much as he could, as for how much Chu Gou had learned and what kind of achievements he could have in the future, it was up to him.

"Good. Chu Gou nodded, and went to brush the horse with his hands and feet extremely briskly.

It's not too far from Jinzhou, and it's about two days away, and you should be able to see the walls of Jinzhou City. Thinking that he would be able to reunite with Gao Yishui and the others soon, Qin Ke felt a little happy in his heart, and even the speed of the horse gallop was unconsciously faster.

Chu Gou nibbled on the dry bread, but he was a little uncomfortable, he knew that Qin Ke really didn't intend to accept himself, although he often gags these days, and put the word "master" on his lips, but relying on such a little trick, after all, he couldn't stop Qin Ke's firm heart.

Now that his cultivation is still laying the foundation, if he doesn't have Qin Ke's help in the future, where should he go?

This path of cultivation is like this wasteland, and there is no end in sight, but at least the end of this wasteland is Jinzhou, and he doesn't know if he can see the end of his cultivation, not to mention that he is a master like Qin Ke, and he is grateful to be as powerful as the deputy general next to Yuan Gongzi.

"How should I keep Master?" he tilted his head and pondered, thinking left and right, but he could not always think of a good way, and after he had eaten his full stomach, he felt even more idle, and simply kept running forward by the horses, while he looked left and right, his eyes rolled around, and he looked around.

The vultures were still circling in the sky, and along the way, they saw more and more vultures instead of decreasing, and the black crows clucked when they landed on the dry dead trees, bringing ominous messages.

"Ahh

Qin Ke thought something was wrong, and turned his head suddenly, only to find that he was still sitting on the horse, and said angrily: "What are you calling?" ”

Chu Gou grabbed the reins of the horse hard, and in the neighing of the horse, the war horse stopped, Chu Gou pointed to a boulder in the wasteland that had been eroded by wind and sand, and said, "That...... It's like a dead man. ”

"Dead people?" Bai Qi was slightly stunned, shook his head again, and said: "I don't know how many people come and go in this wasteland, some people die of illness on the road, and some people encounter bandits, and it is normal to leave a few dry bones behind. ”

It's just that Qin Ke glanced at it, and his pupils shrank: "That's not dry bones, that's a living person!"

Several people hurriedly urged the war horses and went to the bottom of the boulder, but the situation in front of them was really a bit miserable, a few vultures were probably hungry, and they couldn't wait to pounce on him, gnawing at his flesh and blood, and the people lying under the boulder were covered in blood, obviously they had no strength, they could only breathe together in their chests, feeling the sharp pain of being bitten, but they couldn't drive away these bloodthirsty beasts at all.

Qin Ke held the sheathed Bodhisattva sword, and after a few swings, the vultures flew up with a bitter wail, but they refused to leave, but hovered in the sky, and the less timid crows did not dare to compete with the vultures for food, so they could only stand on the dry branches, looking at the blood of those who were gradually drying up with a pair of greedy eyes.
