"Knock Knock"

When Ning Shu was studying the cultivation method, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a strong body, but I couldn't see the face, I saw this strong body bending down, revealing a face full of beards from the door frame, and said with a grin: "Mr. Ning, I'm in Shucheng in front, Boss Song said that I will stay in Shucheng for one night tonight, and I will leave tomorrow morning and send me to tell you." ”

"Well, thanks, I see. ”

Ning Shu nodded.

The strong man named Tie Kunlun, more than two meters tall, like an iron tower, with incomparably strong muscles and muscles, not an ordinary person, it is said that he is a descendant of the northern Huns.

He was rescued from the mountains by Mr. Song, when he was being chased by a black bear, who had become a demon and was not an ordinary fool. In the ancient books, it is said that beasts are demons when they open their spiritual wisdom, and the black bear swallows the power of the moon, how can it be a mortal, and Rao is Tie Kunlun must also retreat three points.

Tie Kunlun encountered an ordinary black bear before, relying on his innate divine power, he turned his arm to overturn the black bear and took bear bile to eat. But he couldn't die, and he didn't go far before he ran into the bear ancestor.

I saw that the bear demon who was one size bigger than him stood up and rushed towards him like a black wind with a fishy smell, if it wasn't for Mr. Song who happened to be nearby, I was afraid that he would die in the next second. Mr. Song saved Tie Kunlun from the mouth of the black bear, and Tie Kunlun thought that he was also a scattered person, and the grace of saving his life could not be repaid, so he followed Mr. Song, and saved a lot of trouble.

It is recorded in the book that the Huns lived in northern Xinjiang for a long time, and the social form was different from that of the Shen Dynasty, and they often lived by hunting and migrating as nomads. The Huns are the descendants of the ancient evil gods, gifted, with brute strength, and easy to kill bloodthirsty. During the chaotic period, he rebelled against the Heavenly Court, merged the five northern clans, and was known as the Hate Heaven Clan. After the defeat of the Central Plains with the human emperor Zhuolu, the Ju clan retreated to the north, and there are few traces of the Huns in the empire.

Ning Shu thought of this record, and sighed secretly in his heart, not long after leaving Ping'an City, he had already met many people and things that he had never seen before, a cultivator like Mr. Song, a descendant of an alien race like Tie Kunlun, thinking that the world was so vast, and all kinds of frost and heaven were free, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

Tie Kunlun has been extremely enthusiastic about Ning Shu since he hit Ning Shu on the ship, and it was only after he heard that Ning Shu had a university question that he chased Ning Shu to ask all kinds of questions, especially about his bloodline.

Ning Shu was not sure that he was a Hun at first, because Tie Kunlun had nothing to do with the murderous and aggressive described in the book, but only deduced a few points from his body shape, and later heard Tie Kunlun say that he came from the northern wasteland, and his mother was a normal human woman, who died shortly after he was born.

Because of his natural strength, he helped others do heavy work since he was a child, and when he grew up, he wandered all the way, and then he arrived in Quzhou in the south. He is even more certain that he is a descendant of the Huns, probably because of his human blood, except for his physical strength, he is no different from ordinary people in other aspects.

After listening to Ning Shu's explanation to him, Tie Kunlun slapped his thigh excitedly, he had always wondered why he looked different from others, but he never got an answer, and even Mr. Song couldn't say it clearly. In fact, it's no wonder others, the Huns are far away in the north, and they have disappeared for I don't know how many years, how can ordinary people understand, Tie Kunlun only comes into contact with those mortals on weekdays. Ning Shu only knew it from the subtle records in the book.

Then Tie Kunlun held Ning Shu in front of the whole boat, and said, "Who dares to bully Mr. Ning Xiao in the future, first ask me if Tie Kunlun agrees." "The sound is like a bell.

Tie Kunlun said that after the transportation of the goods, he would ask Mr. Song for a long vacation, and then go back to his hometown to have a look, and then go to the north to find the Huns who were as tall and strong as Ning Shu and he said.

......

......

Evening is approaching, and the fiery red clouds are spread in the sky, reflecting the Jing River as if burning. The boat anchored on the shore, and the people disembarked and went into the city.

This Shu City is not big, much smaller than Ping'an City.

It was still early, and after everyone arranged accommodation, they dispersed, some went to the gambling house to be small and broad, and some went to fireworks and willow lanes to have fun.

Mr. Song and Tie Kunlun were about to leave for Xujia Village next to Shucheng, Ning Shu looked at the old men who were going away with their shoulders on their backs, and resolutely decided to go with the two.

Shucheng is located in the north of Quzhou, the climate is warm and moist, the water and soil on both sides of the Jinghe River Basin are fertile, the Bajingling on the other side of the river is full of aura, and the production of various plants and flowers is abundant, among which there are many rare medicinal materials.

As the old saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the water to eat the water. Local residents have a tradition of going up to the mountains to collect medicine since ancient times.

Often, there will be pharmacy owners or businessmen who come to these places to buy medicinal materials, and the bids are often expensive, and it has almost become a complete industrial chain, and sometimes there are even cultivators who come here to buy, and some of the elixirs will also be of great use to practitioners. If some people are lucky, they sell an elixir and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

It's just that elixir is extremely scarce after all, and risks and opportunities also coexist.

Those sky-high medicinal materials often grow in the depths of cliffs or dense forests, and most of them are guarded by tigers, leopards, snakes and insects. In some places, even cultivators will die if they enter it, let alone a mortal body in the flesh.

It is said that thirty years ago, there was a city lord in Quzhou who liked immortality, and he didn't know where to get a book of heaven and cultivated to a certain bottleneck. Suffering from the inability to break through, and heard from the corporal under his hand that a certain elixir can make people reborn, the ghost is obsessed, it is actually to recruit the people in the city to form a medicine collection team into the mountains to pick elixir, the people were forced into the depths of the mountain by the soldiers with knives behind them, to exchange their lives for medicine, more than a dozen people go, only two or three people returned.

In the face of the exploitation of the people in power in the city, some people are unwilling to hand over the elixir they have exchanged for their lives, pick them on the spot and swallow them, but when they come out and are discovered, they will be disemboweled, killed and bloody.

As the course went on, the city lord's cultivation became higher and higher, the people in the city became fewer and fewer, and the whole city gradually became a dead city.

Later, the matter was revealed, and the Divine Dynasty sent an army to suppress it, and the city lord relied on his cultivation to be profound, and killed the soldiers of the Divine Dynasty. When this matter reached Luocheng, the court was shocked, and Emperor Longyan of Zhou was furious, and immediately ordered the Marquis of Quzhou to dispatch troops to kill the thief.

The Marquis of Quzhou, one of the princes of the Four Directions of the Divine Dynasty, personally led his troops, and with only one blow, he severely injured the city lord who had cultivated to the realm of knowing dreams, and the city lord knew that he was invincible, but because of his peculiar cultivation method, he immediately abandoned his physical body and fled, and his spirit body hid in a large cultivation sect.

The head of the sect coveted the practice of the city lord, so he hid the city lord privately and concealed it. I didn't expect to cause a catastrophe,

On the same day, the Marquis of Quzhou killed three Taishang elders who knew the dream, and within three days, he razed the sect to the ground, captured the spirit of the city lord alive, and brought it back to Luodu to restore his life.

It is said that the lord of the city was burned in the heavenly prison for three days and died, and the world's cultivation sects were frightened, and they restrained their disciples one after another, and showed goodwill to the Divine Dynasty. A Marquis of Quzhou can kill a monk who knows dreams like pinching ants, not to mention the other three princes of the Divine Dynasty, countless divine generals, and even a holy place like Taifu, who would dare to oppose the Divine Dynasty without a long eye?

.......

Mr. Song's trip to Xujia Village was to buy some medicinal materials, and by the way, he tried his luck to see if there would be any adventures such as encountering natural materials and earth treasures.

At this time, Xujia Village was brightly lit, the night market was crowded, and there were stalls on both sides of the road. The seller's face was covered with a black cloth, and the stall in front of him was lined with all kinds of herbs, some of which had dirt on their roots, and they looked like they had just been picked from the soil.

"These are not all useful medicinal materials, most of the people in the village do not know medicine, and they have dug it out in one go, some are highly poisonous, some are ordinary flowers and plants, and even some have not even grown enough to be dug up, losing their best medicinal properties. Therefore, when you come here to purchase medicinal materials, you must have an eyesight, otherwise you will accidentally buy shoddy things. Mr. Song explained to Ning Shu as he walked.

"Look at that stupid roe deer, who bought a big white radish and was still blind, and his mouth was grinning to the sky. Tie Kunlun pointed to a somewhat rich person in front of him and said with a smile.

When the man heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Tie Kunlun, he wanted to scold something, but when he saw the huge person, he silently closed his mouth, glared, turned around and walked away.

"Don't talk nonsense, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in this kind of place, and if you provoke some old guys who have no bottom line, no one will collect the corpse when they die. ”

Mr. Song scolded.

"If you read it right, the person who bought it should be a ginseng plant about 100 years old, with hypertrophied roots, shaped like a spindle, and like hands and feet, which can greatly replenish vitality, nourish the spleen and lungs, and calm the nerves and intellect. Ning Shu, who had been watching for a long time, said that in the past, he often followed the people in the city to the mountains to collect medicines in Ping'an City, and he also knew a little about herbal medicines.

"That's right, it should be a century-old ginseng, no loss, and you can even make a profit, but there are a lot of old guys rushing to buy this thing in Los Angeles. Mr. Song touched the dark gold wrench.

I chatted all night, maybe it was bad luck, I didn't buy anything unusual, most of them were ordinary flowers and plants, like the hundred-year-old ginseng just now, almost invisible, and even saw real white radish, which is twice as large as usual.

Seeing that it was getting late, it was impossible to go back to Shucheng, Ning Shu and his party made up their minds and found a family in Xujia Village to rest, Quzhou people's hospitality has been a tradition inherited since ancient times, Uncle Xu's family made dinner for the three of them, cleaned up the house, and went to rest after a few words.

Thinking that they would continue to hurry tomorrow morning, the three of them hurried into a dream after eating.

Nothing was said all night.

......

......

Early the next morning, before dawn, only the noise in the courtyard could be heard, and Ning Shu woke up from meditation. Pushing open the door, I found that Mr. Song and Tie Kunlun were already in the middle of the courtyard, and Uncle Xu was saying something to Mr. Song, looking a little anxious.

After inquiry, I learned that Uncle Xu had a young son who went into the mountains to collect medicine yesterday and did not come back today.

Mr. Song first asked Mr. and Mrs. Xu to go to the surrounding villages to find someone to help, and planned to go to the mountains to have a look.

When Ning Shu and the others were about to think about how to divide the labor, a person ran from a distance, looked frightened, and shouted hoarsely: "Help..... Come on...... Bandit ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the bowstring fluttered with a humming sound.

A bowl-sized hole of blood exploded in the man's chest.

Blood spurted like a blooming red lotus.......
