"Third brother, we must be more than forty kilometers away from the village here, right? Why haven't you seen Lao Jiu's group of people all the way?"

Lao Balin Zhen rode on his horse and asked after the third brother Lin Zhun.

A group of twelve of them set out in the afternoon, and searched for the traces of Lin Xing's group along the road that the caravan must take, and this search was to find the nightfall.

Originally, when passing the hillside just now, Lin Zhen had already proposed to go back to the village.

However, Lin Zhunguan was able to ride a horse at night because the night was bright and he was able to walk at night, so he proposed to walk some more distance.

"You don't know Lao Jiu's temperament, only the eldest brother speaks on weekdays, he has been out for almost two days, and it is normal to go far. ”

Lin Zhun slowed down, and seeing that the road ahead was dark under the shade of the trees, he lit the prepared torch and continued: "Now I just hope that kid has found the Nine Turns of Flame Grass. ”

"Then third brother, shall we go back tonight?" Lin Zhen only wanted to go back to the village now.

"If you can find it, you can go back, but if you can't find it, I remember that there was a cave halfway up the mountain, and we went there for a night's rest. ”

"Drive!"

Lin Zhun rode forward on horseback first, and everyone had to continue to follow.

......

The starlight outside is undiminished, and the moonlight is getting deeper, which is a good time to practice.

For cultivators, if they want to have higher strength, they must also follow the principles of time, place, and people.

When the sun shines, the moon shines, and the stars are abundant, it is the time of the sky.

The place where the characteristics of the aura are contained is the location.

Talent and hard work are for people.

For Mu Qing, who has excellent talent and otherwise would not have a special physique, he can practice when he rides on a horse, and he can practice when he eats and sleeps, as long as his internal strength has been accumulating more and more, just like for ordinary people, money is increasing, he will feel solid and happy.

As early as twelve years ago, when Mu Qing was plundered to the Hidden Valley and stepped into cultivation, he planted a wish seed in the depths of his heart.

Leave the Hidden Valley and live the life you want.

At that time, there will be no more daily worries about life and death, no more wanting to see peony and not being able to see it, and no more oppression of companions and disregard for life.

But the Hidden Valley's palm rhythm will not agree!

Mu Qing didn't want to take Peony to live a fugitive life of running around and being chased and killed by the Zhanglu line, he wanted to leave openly.

So he understood early on that if he wanted to leave the Hidden Valley, he had to set foot on the top of the mountain.

Only by stepping on the top of the mountain can he have the strength to fight against the Hidden Valley.

And the top of the mountain in Mu Qing's reverie is a product, for the vast majority of cultivators like him, the pursuit of immortality and ascension is too ethereal like the Three Immortal Islands that exist in the Black Sea in the east of the mainland.

If there really exists the so-called immortal realm behind Dao Fei, then the first people to break through to this realm in Mu Qing's heart should be those Bai Emperors of the Mu Hibiscus Dynasty.

For the Bai Clan of the Imperial Dynasty, which had lasted for one hundred and seventy-three lifetimes, the genius earth treasures and cultivation techniques they had collected were undoubtedly the best in the entire Taishi Continent, but in the records of the Hidden Valley, no emperor had lived for more than two hundred years.

And two hundred years is the limit of the lifespan of a first-class master, and it is possible for the kind of person who cultivates to the top of the mountain without leaving hidden diseases all the way to the top of the mountain.

Liu Weirui was already curled up and sleeping by the fire, and Mu Qing was practicing the Shura Jue while confirming his judgment.

Mu Qing found that although the internal force cultivated by the Shura Jue and the huge special internal force could coexist in the acupoint and were not mutually exclusive, when he used the Shura Jue, he could not use that special internal force in a reversal.

Although he could use that special internal force in his mind, he felt that it was entirely because he had accumulated enough.

Mu Qing discovered when he was treating Xiaochan that if he used this internal force according to the experience of running the Shura Jue in the past, starting from the sea of qi, detaining into the Shenque, and then entering the Xuanji, and finally converging in the divine court, then this internal force would have a relatively strong sense of stagnation at some meridians and acupoints.

Shura Jue is a pure internal strength of the mind, unlike the iron bones of the imperial soldiers' cultivation of the mountain, which is the complementarity of the heart method and the refining of the body, its biggest advantage may only be that the internal force is slightly more than other exercises under the same product.

Mu Qing's cultivation instincts, far beyond his peers, told him that this special internal force should require exercises that match its characteristics in order to be able to do it like an arm.

Just like the Myriad Flowers Heart Sutra practiced by peony has a special character, the internal force cultivated will have a very powerful auxiliary effect on healing.

Therefore, Mu Qing now needs an internal skill technique that is biased towards poison skills.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, Mu Qing feels that it is time for him to take that step and truly enter the strong stage of the upper three grades.

Tonight, the moonlight is thick, and Mu Qing plans to take advantage of this day to break through the four-rank limit of the Shura Jue, and at that time, because he can use special internal force, his strength can instantly reach the peak of the strength of the ordinary three-grade strength.

His legs are naturally folded, his left foot is inward, his right foot is outward, his hands are naturally closed, and he sits upright and looks inward, his eyes are slightly closed, leaving a line of light, the tip of his tongue is against the roof of his mouth, his lips and teeth are together, and between his breath and breath, the aura between heaven and earth is in accordance with the route of Shura's qi, from Xuanji to Qifu, and so on.

At the top of his Divine Court, the moonlight starlight outside the cave was also pulled here, mixed with the aura in the air and swirled into a small whirlpool, and when Mu Qing completely absorbed this aura vortex into his body, he had truly entered the stage of a true master of the upper three grades.

When Mu Qing was making a breakthrough, he was intent on guarding the Divine Court, his heart was calm, his spiritual perception was released, and he did not dare to relax in the slightest.

It was at this moment that his spiritual perception resonated with the aura of heaven and earth within a radius of several kilometers, and Mu Qing was surprised to find that a group of uninvited guests had quickly approached.

If Mu Qing insists on breaking through, it should take half an hour, but looking at that group of people, they can reach it in a moment at most, and the internal force fluctuations of the person in charge are much stronger and more solid than the previous Lin Xing, and they will definitely not be able to stop it with Li Si alone.

Mu Qing had to forcibly suspend his promotion very aggrievedly, and for this reason, he also caused his qi and blood to surge, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat before he was finally pressed down.

"Wake up!

Mu Qing controlled his voice and shouted softly.

"What's wrong?" The first to wake up was Liu Weirui, who subconsciously moved closer to Mu Qing.

"I should have come with the group at noon. Mu Qing paused and continued: "Do you need me to solve them all?" This time there are only a dozen people, and the highest strength is only five grades. ”

Liu Weirui rubbed her eyes, became more sober, and said calmly: "No, we have to pass through this iron bone village to go to Stone City, and I will immediately let Xiao Si order to go down." ”

......

"Hey, there's someone near the entrance of the cave in front of you!"

"Maybe it's Lao Jiu, let's go and see it quickly. ”

"Hmmm? No, the number of people is not right. ”

Lin Zhunle, who was originally rushing to the front, stopped the rope, and he said to Lin Zhen behind him: "Lao Jiu's group of people is no more than forty people, and I sit on the horse and see that the number of people over there should be two or three times more than Lao Jiu's." ”

Lin Zhen also saw it at this time, he beckoned back to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Then third brother, I'll go and see what the situation is first." ”

After Lin Zhen dismounted, he sneaked all the way to the front of the cave, only to see that the cave was surrounded by horsemen sleeping around the carriage, and guessed that most of them were caravans heading north from Vermilion Bird City.

Although it is not clear how many people are still in the cave, the number of caravans outside has exceeded 100.

Lin Zhen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went back to explain what he had found to the third brother Lin Zhun.

"Third brother, this is the case, this is a big caravan, it stands to reason that Lao Jiu can't leave this piece of fat alone, I didn't think that we Lao Jiu didn't meet, but we met a caravan. ”

Lin Zhen couldn't figure out what the situation was now, so he had to tell the truth about the doubts in his heart.

Lin Zhun had a solemn look in his eyes, and he turned his head and asked, "Eighth brother, are there any other cheap shortcuts nearby?"

Lin Zhen chuckled a few times when he heard this, and shook his head: "Third brother, you look up to these caravans too much, where can these caravans afford to hire martial artists above the sixth grade." ”

He paused and continued: "It's just that there is a shortcut nearby, I really don't know this, but if Lao Jiu didn't meet this caravan, then he shouldn't have gone down this road." ”

Lin Zhun silently looked at the ten people behind him, they were a group of twelve people, one was a fifth grade, one was a sixth grade, and the others were all among the eight or nine grades.

Lin Zhun was really unsure of the strength of the caravan in front of him because of the disappearance of Lao Jiu Lin Xing, so he said to Lin Zhen: "Eighth brother, you go back to the village and tell the second brother that I am waiting for you here and bring fifty good men over." ”

Since the plan to use the bald eagle to ask for medicine from Vermilion Bird City has failed, they can only put their ideas on the heads of the caravans in the past, and Lao Jiu still has to do it whether he is there or not.

When the time comes, the caravan not far ahead can only be the meat of their mouths.

......

"Have you explained everything?"

Liu Weirui asked Li Si beside her.

Just now, Liu Weirui had already asked Li Si to tell the entire caravan about the danger, if someone leaked the noon incident, no one would become a ghost under the knife if they could escape, and if they returned to Jinguan City safely, everyone's remuneration would be doubled this time.

There is a lot to do with it, Liu Weirui believes that the people in the caravan should be able to understand.

Li Si said with an indignant face: "It's all confessed, but, miss, it's not impossible for us and Brother Mu Qing to fight!"

Liu Weirui shook her head and said: "After beating a group of people, there will be another group of people, we have to go through this iron bone village if we want to go to Stone Town, we have dealt with them before, and we can talk about some rules." ”

"Next, let's discuss some countermeasures. ”
