Chapter 15: The Challenge of the Feud
In the following days, Luo Xiao went to the Xiuwu Hall to practice the Ten Absolute Scattered Hands during the day, and at the same time strengthened the training of footwork and body methods, and at night returned to the nest residence of Balitun to enter the cave to cultivate, and his cultivation was climbing day by day. Now he is no longer short of money, nor is he short of resources, nor is he short of time, the road of cultivation can be described as a smooth road, and then there is a high-grade foundation to lay the foundation, and his qualifications have skyrocketed, so if he does not make rapid progress, then don't mix in the martial arts industry.
Luo Xiao would observe the meat spirit stone and red jade grass in the cave every few days, and sure enough, he found that the meat spirit stone was growing, the skin color was getting more and more yellow, and the folds were getting deeper and deeper. And the two two-leaved red jade grass even grew a third leaf, and even the black soil he put into cultivating the red jade grass has undergone a qualitative change, and there is a faint tendency to transform into spiritual soil...... All of this showed that his speculation was completely correct, and it seemed that in another month, he would be able to harvest the true high-grade flesh spirit stone and spirit grass level red jade grass that was rare in the entire Heavenly Mirror Domain.
Even if he had expected it, Luo Xiao was also excited about this result, with the assistance of these two important refining resources, his entry into the realm of warriors would be greatly shortened.
Early in the morning, when Luo Xiao entered the city, he obviously found that the city gate was much stricter. And when he entered the snack alley on South Street, he noticed that there were a lot of people in front of the breakfast shops. These people have a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, and at a glance they know that they are warriors who wander and adventure in all directions, although they are dressed ordinarily and have a restrained atmosphere, but a pair of brilliant eyes show that they are unusual.
"There are so many martial artists, and there are even warrior-level powerhouses, what happened?" Luo Xiao was secretly shocked, found a familiar shop, and asked the running hall in a low voice while eating.
Ran Tang also covered his face with a rag, and said in a low voice: "These people are all warriors from various counties, and I don't know the purpose of these people, I only know that they are all inquiring about the Tianhuo earthquake in Longyuan Mountain......
Luo Xiao was shocked, and immediately understood the meaning of these people. The vibration of Longyuan Mountain did not spread far, and only the three cities in Wuyang County had a sense. However, that Heavenly Fire Meteor, I am afraid that the entire Heavenly Mirror Domain can be seen, will definitely alarm all forces and many martial artists. The inspection envoys of the three cities under the jurisdiction of Wuyang County have all gone deep into the location of the incident, know what the situation is, and have reported it to the county guard, and the group guard mansion has also explained the relevant situation, so most of the warriors in the three cities are very safe and do not go to Longyuan Mountain in large numbers.
But the warriors of the surrounding counties and even the farther Xinghai Kingdom and the Moon Nation didn't know about it, so under word of mouth, various versions of the rumors were rampant. One of the most widely circulated sayings is that strange treasures fell from the sky, so the dragons and snakes of all the rivers and lakes converged in the direction of Longyuan Mountain.
At this time, almost a month has passed since the day of the incident, and these warriors who have heard the news and come to find out have also arrived one after another. Of course, these warriors saw the notice of the county guard, not to mention that there would be a few who were willing to believe it, just that they came all the way and didn't investigate on the spot, who would want to go back empty-handed like this? So there are more and more people, this is the case in Yishui City, and it is estimated that Xiuyan City and Yanshan City are similar.
Luo Xiao secretly warned himself that he had to be careful in and out during this time, it seemed that Longyuan Mountain would be impossible to go for a while. Fortunately, he got twelve pieces of flesh spirit stones of various years from Cheng Feifeng and Jian Zheng, and he had two seven-leaf red jade grasses, three five-leaf red jade grasses, and two three-leaf red jade grasses that were growing, so it could be said that he was not short of body refining drugs in the short term, so he was not in a hurry to go to Longyuan Mountain to collect herbs, and it was better to concentrate on cultivating martial arts.
All the way back to the Xiuwu Hall, I met many disciples along the way, and they were all talking about the fact that there were many more warriors in the city who did not know their whereabouts recently.
When Luo Xiao came to the martial arts hall, he ran into Sun Tengfei who was about to go out.
Sun Tengfei stopped him and said that if he wanted to go to the Supervisory Yuan to discuss matters, he couldn't guide him personally, so he asked Luo Xiao to practice with a group of juniors.
Sun Tengfei said with a solemn expression: "It is estimated that it is related to the recent appearance of a large number of martial artists in the city. You are a disciple of the outside world, you must have seen the situation in the city, you must be careful when entering and exiting, don't provoke those martial artists, especially some wild warriors inside, for you third- and fourth-order martial artists, they are all very dangerous existences. Remember!
Sun Tengfei didn't know that Luo Xiao was the central figure of the incident, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be so simple. Luo Xiao nodded yes, watching Sun Tengfei hurriedly walk away, and his mind flashed over those guys in the snack alley who were dressed ordinarily, had a restrained breath, and a pair of eyes were shining: "Wild warriors? No wonder each one looks more dangerous than the other." ”
The so-called "wild samurai" refers to those who are independent of the Shuwutang system, they have the strength of a samurai, but they are not certified and registered in the Shuwutang, and they are not recognized by the imperial court as "scholars", and they are not knighted and conferred, so they are called wild samurai. It's not that the imperial court doesn't want to recruit talents, it's not that these samurai want to be "wild", it's that they haven't passed the assessment and can't become real samurai.
A regular samurai is not only a hard fist, but also needs to meet a standard in martial arts, weapons, and exercises, and at the same time has a certain theoretical foundation in martial arts. Sitting can be discussed, starting to hit the strong, getting on the horse to hit the crazy Hu, and getting off the horse to cursive the army, so that he can be called a talented man of a country. Although there are not many institutions that specialize in cultivating samurai such as Shuwutang, such a national warrior is at least a training direction. And there are many samurai who are actually family heirlooms, and have not entered the Xiuwutang system to learn, and even many are illiterate, and their skills are taught by the words and deeds of their masters. At most, these samurai will stop at the realm of samurai, and most of them will not have any potential - if nothing else, even if you are given a peerless secret book, it will be useless if you don't know how to read!
These people are not controlled, they are both good and evil, and they act according to their likes and dislikes, and wherever they appear, there will be frequent chaos in public order, and you can imagine the pressure faced by the city guard from the city guard to the Xiuwutang during this time.
But these are not what Luo Xiao, a little martial artist like Luo Xiao who is not even a warrior, can worry about, what he has to do now and what he can do now is to train the Ten Absolute Hands to Xiaocheng as soon as possible, this is the limit that can be achieved by training, as for Dacheng, it needs to be realized in the fight to the death.
Luo Xiao walked into the martial arts hall, and there were already clusters of disciples gathered together to do all kinds of warm-ups. As he walked past a group of disciples, a somewhat timid voice came: "Luo Xue...... Brother, you've come here to train. ”
Luo Xiao turned his head in a row, saw Duan Qinglan who was full of energy, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Duan's cultivation has improved again, which is gratifying." ”
Duan Qinglan was full of gratitude, and thanked Luo Xiao: "Thank you, Senior Brother Luo." She exchanged Luo Xiao's "exchange" of red jade five-leaf clover for two twenty-year-old meat spirit stones, plus two red jade two-leaf clovers, and after two medicinal baths, she actually opened four veins in a month, and her body defense also increased by half percent, which was equivalent to her three months of penance on weekdays. And all of this is a gift from the young man in front of him.
Luo Xiao waved his hand casually: "Senior Sister Duan doesn't need to be like this, I still expect you to help me clean up Pan Yang's house." ”
Duan Qinglan was angry and funny: "Senior Brother Luo, I watched you all this time when you trained, so as long as Pan Yang is not stupid, how dare he provoke you." ”
Luo Xiao glanced in one direction and said lightly: "Maybe others are not as smart as Senior Sister Duan thinks." ”
Duan Qinglan looked at Luo Xiao's line of sight, and was surprised to find that Pan Yang, Liu Heida and the others were in the fighting hall, and they looked over intentionally or unintentionally, with a faintly provocative expression. Duan Qinglan was suddenly worried: "Senior Brother Luo, you have been practicing hard all this time...... Otherwise, you'd better take a break today. ”
Luo Xiao said indifferently: "You can rest any day, but you can't today." After saying that, he nodded slightly towards Duan Qinglan, turned around and walked towards the training platform.
Duan Qinglan looked at Luo Xiao's back in a daze, her eyes were complicated, and she sighed lightly.
At the beginning of the morning, a new day of training began, and with the ringing of a bell, the martial arts hall soon resounded with the figures of the young warriors leaping and leaping and the eagles and falcons trying their wings.
The expected provocation did not appear, and Luo Xiao was not concerned about himself, so he went straight to find his opponent and began training.
Luo Xiao's training opponent is called Zheng Dongping, usually when Sun Tengfei is there, he will personally go down to the field to feed Luo Xiao, if he is not there, it is Zheng Dongping and Luo Xiao to fight. At present, among the more than 20 disciples who have learned from Sun Tengfei, the most senior is Zheng Dongping, a disciple of the Yellow Belt.
Zheng Dongping is seventeen years old, has opened thirty-two veins, reached the peak of the third order, and has practiced ten absolute hands with Sun Tengfei for nearly half a year, which is the strongest before Luo Xiao joined. However, half a month after Luo Xiao joined, Zheng Dongping, the strongest title, took a back seat.
In fact, when Zheng Dongping saw Luo Xiao show the Five Uniques on the first day, the strange speed and terrifying finger strength made him ashamed, and he knew that this junior brother would surpass him sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and he could fight against himself in only half a month, which is too demonic, right? Then what is his hard practice for half a year? The most annoying and helpless thing is that Sun Jiaoxi also designated himself as the opponent of this Luo junior, and he couldn't hide from it......
Luo Xiao actually has the same helplessness, among the more than 20 disciples of Sun Jiaoxi, they are basically seconds within a few breaths, and only Zheng Dongping can go with him for a few rounds, but that's it. Luo Xiao knows his own affairs, he has now reached the rank of a black belt disciple in the realm, the strength of his vitality and physical strength directly catch up with the warrior, coupled with his talent for the Ten Absolute Hands, it is really too bullying to fight a third-order martial artist like Zheng Dongping.
It's just that Luo Xiao can't do it, he wants to find a red belt or even a black belt disciple to practice, but there are few disciples who have learned the top ten, and most of the only disciples who have entered the room have gone out to do tasks and practice at the same time, so it is difficult to find a suitable opponent.
In the third round, Zheng Dongping just raised his hand to wrap Luo Xiao's left hand around his wrist, and the other hand quickly buckled Luo Xiao's throat, but before his fingertips touched his neck muscles, he was firmly clamped by Luo Xiao's chin, and Zheng Dongping's hand strength could not break free.
"Stop, stop!" Zheng Dongping hurriedly shouted, almost at the moment when he stopped, Luo Xiao's right hand had become a throat lock, clasping his throat, and he didn't feel any strength.
"You guy...... Don't fight, don't fight. Zheng Dongping smiled bitterly, this is being treated in the way of others, and he is completely crushed, what kind of strength is there to fight.
Luo Xiao let go of his hand and stepped back, smiling and about to speak
At this time, a cold voice sounded: "Since it is difficult for this junior brother to be your opponent, how about letting me guide you?"
Luo Xiao raised his eyes and looked at it, his gaze hardened.
Ten paces away, a young man with a red belt around his waist, about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and thin, with a long face and an eagle nose, and an expressionless face, was looking at him coldly.
The four gazes collided in mid-air, stirring up invisible sparks.
Jiang Feng, a red-belt disciple who once fought with Luo Xiao and achieved his reputation as "Luo Mangzi"!
