The cold wind is like a knife, the frost is like a sword, and the vast snow is raging in the world.

Heaven and earth are unkind, the sun and the moon are ruthless, and all living beings are fish and meat.

----------

The more the wind is stronger, the snow is more abundant, and between heaven and earth, there is already a sad and bleak scene, and it is almost difficult to see.

But under the thick dark clouds that kept tumbling and surging, there was a group of five people, fearless of the power of heaven and earth, stepping on the prairie covered by layers of snow that fell rapidly like goose feathers.

Windy and snowy, small and stubborn.

Regardless of the wind and snow blowing around, even if the whole world seems to be only five of them at this moment, it is still difficult to change their will to move forward, I have to say, this is really a very remarkable team.

And the current position of this team is also worth pondering, because this is already the hinterland of the Turkic people, and not far further is the residence of the Turkic Khan, the court of the Golden Horde.

Although this year's winter is an unusually rare snowy day, the tragedy of the front-line war is more terrifying than before, and from the time of calculation, the wolf cavalry that the Turks are proud of should now be about to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Daluo Dynasty in the Qilian Mountains.

At this critical moment when the war that will determine the direction of the national fortunes of the two countries for the next few decades is in full swing, the true identity and purpose of the five people who are constantly advancing towards the place where the Golden Horde is located in the face of the howling wind and snow around them are even more curious, after all, even from the superficial costumes, they know that they are definitely not Turkic.

In addition, they rushed all the way, and they picked out remote places that were inaccessible to hurry, but the general direction of the whole team was so clear, and the five of them regarded this extremely bad weather as nothing, and the speed of the march was even comparable to that of horses, and the purpose of these extremely skilled guys went so deep into this place, so it must be self-evident.

I saw these five people jumping on the fluffy snow, falling down in one step, like a dragonfly in water, and the next moment they swept out of the distance, not to say that there was no trace of stepping on the snow, but at least, the traces left by each step were also minimal, plus the heavy snow above their heads did not stop for a moment, so the traces they left along the way were very naturally covered, even if there were masters who were very good at tracking skills, I am afraid it would be difficult to find their traces in this extreme environment.

Looking closely, the person who fell at the end of the line, although he covered most of his face with a brown strip of cloth, he could still vaguely see that he should not be very old, because in his eyes, there was a wisp of youthful childishness that would only gradually disappear with age.

This man is called Li Qingchen, he was born an orphan who did not know who his parents were, and he did not know why he was abandoned, in his own words, that is, " I hope that I, Li Qingchen, am a natural cripple, or have some disgusting problems on my face, and it is better to look like a person, so that people feel appetizing when they see it, so it makes sense, but unfortunately I am not only not, but I Li Qingchen is also born with all five limbs and a handsome appearance, this kind of feeling that I don't know whether to cry or laugh, do you understand, I obviously didn't do anything wrong, but in the person who abandoned me, I was wrong, and it was a big mistake."

However, he must admit that he was actually lucky, because he was still a newborn baby at that time, and he was not picked up and eaten by hungry wild dogs on the side of the road, but was picked up from outside by a rough man from the martial arts of Youzhou Town on a sultry night, and was raised smoothly to this day, but because there was not even a little bit of identity or symbolic meaning in the swaddling clothes that wrapped him at that time, the person who picked him up from the outside did not even know what his surname was.

On the night he was retrieved, a group of people in the martial arts of Youzhou Town were decisive, usually from the street all the way to the end of the alley, even if they were splashed with blood, but they couldn't even blink their eyes, but they collectively made a mistake in thinking of a name for him, and one of them joked that the person who was not as good as the "swaddling" was also scolded by everyone.

Seeing a group of murderous executioners scratching their ears and cheeks over there, one by one they were red-faced, and even anxious, smashing the wall while flipping the book, so that the gate of the town martial arts division was demolished, and finally an old man who looked at the treasury was really unable to see it, so he said that if he didn't know what the surname was, it would be better to have the surname Li, after all, the Li family is a big surname, and when he goes out in the future, he can climb a relative with anyone, as long as he is thick-skinned, he can beg for food.

What makes Li Qingchen feel a little unbelievable when he thinks about it now is that such a musty reason actually won the unanimous consent of his godfathers and fathers in the end.

As for his name, it was also the old man who was lame with two legs to help him, saying that he hoped that he would not take his life experience so seriously in this life, after all, all kinds of earthly things, a hundred years later, are a handful of loess, life in the world, unsatisfactory things are eight or nine times out of ten, being a man, open-minded, it is always right.

However, this statement attracted many people to stand up and oppose it at the time, saying that the name was too light, like a girl, not domineering at all, according to the ideas of these rough men, this man's name does not have a little "bully", "fierce", "crazy", it is really not good to go out to see people, so Li Qingchen felt that when he grew up, he insisted on the old man at that time, he should go to the grave to pay him two more glasses, oh no, it should be two jars of good wine in Youzhou.

said that the Zhenwu Division, who raised him, was not a kind-hearted family, but a powerful yamen in the Daluo Imperial Court, with a very special status and scope of responsibility.

Throughout the history books of the human race, all dynasties, whether it is a troubled era or a prosperous era, there is always no shortage of so-called knights who dare to violate the ban with force, especially those who have "God-given martial arts" or all kinds of unbelievable and unbelievable strong warriors, it is extremely dangerous.

In the previous dynasty, there were two powerful warriors who competed, and in the end the two were just defeated and wounded, and each of them retreated, but the people who were killed in this battle because of accidental injuries were as many as thousands, which shows that this group of warriors who have no law is very harmful.

Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Daluo Dynasty, Emperor Taizu personally ordered that three of the twelve meritorious deeds of the founding of Lingyan Pavilion were built together, and a very special yamen was built to convene the world to serve the imperial court, in order to maintain the stability of the country and protect the ordinary people from the disturbance of powerful warriors as their own responsibility.

Here is an introduction to the so-called "martial arts", not counting the ordinary people who are nicknamed "ten-grade martial arts" by insiders, the real martial artists are divided into nine grades according to the gap between the realm and the strength, of which the nine products are the weakest, and one is the strongest, and each product has the difference between the two realms of entry and Dacheng, so it is called the nine-grade eighteen realms.

And these nine grades that divide the strength and weakness of martial artists are actually distinguished according to the three stages of martial arts practice, the first three grades of refining the body, the middle three grades of refining qi, and the last three grades of refining gods are well-known things, which is also quite related to the "refining and refining gas", "refining gas and transforming gods" and so on that people in the Taoist sect pay attention to, but they are really two completely different paths.

And in the matter of practicing martial arts, if he starts counting from the day he was picked up and brought back to Zhenwusi, Li Qingchen, who is now only fifteen years old, does not feel that he is a great genius, nor does he think that he is an ordinary mediocre talent, but he has to admit that he is definitely a tired and lazy person who can't hold up the wall, in his own words, that is" Other people go to the rivers and lakes, just for the sake of fame and fortune, or with some beautiful vision, but I am different, I am forced to practice martial arts, if I have a choice, in fact, I really want to be a musician who plays the flute and begs for a living."

It took a full fifteen years to finally refine a six-grade cultivation, in his opinion, it was indeed nothing, but he had just come out of the most grinding body refining three realms and truly become a world-recognized martial artist.

Moreover, insiders know that the three realms of refining the body of the first three grades, from the outer refining of muscles and bones, to the internal refining of flesh and blood, viscera, and meridians, layer by layer, belong to the three realms that are the least talented, because these first three realms, as long as they are diligent, can endure hardship, and are willing to spend more time, anyone can achieve it.

Even if it is a child who can't endure hardship, as long as there is a domineering enough tonic medicine, and then there are masters who use their own cultivation as an infusion, wash the marrow for their I Ching, and digest the medicinal power, they can also easily get through, which is why it is said since ancient times that the poor learn literature and the rich learn martial arts, because the first level of learning martial arts has to rely on the pile of money, if you rely on your own breath and your body alone, and there is no famous teacher to guide you, if you are not careful, it is easy to hurt the fundamentals, resulting in the destruction of martial arts, or delaying too long in this place to keep people, the first three products have taken decades, and the follow-up is weak, and the road of martial arts stops here。

However, it is easy to say, but if there is no strong person who is willing to spend his own essence and help the I Ching to cleanse the marrow day and night at the cost of his own martial arts future, few people can cross this triple realm extremely quickly.

Among the nine products, only this refining body three realms, that is the most grinding, but also the most difficult to trick, once in this place, it is just self-destruction of the future, the trick to the seven products of entry, may really fight even a solid enough foundation of the nine products Dacheng is not as good.

And after surviving the three realms of body refining, you have to start refining qi, and the martial arts cultivate qi inside, so there are no learning in the world, there are internal and external families, which represents the transformation of a martial artist from the inside out, and crossing this threshold is two kinds of cultivation.

To say that he Li Qingchen is actually lucky, because if he is picked up by ordinary people, even if his family background is more solid, he still can't afford the top consumption of a martial artist's cultivation, which may slow down his speed of breaking through the realm, or he can't lay a strong enough foundation, that is, they have this strength.

In addition, Youzhou is the border of the imperial court, facing the Turks, and fighting endlessly every year, so the supply of armaments in Youzhou is always the highest priority, and at the same time it is the most complete.

After he was a few years older, the people of Youzhou, who had never acted in accordance with the laws and regulations of the imperial court, made the decision, blatantly opened a back door for him, officially included him in the Zhenwu Division, and after having a salary of his own and monthly rations, he had more money at hand.

However, even a smart person like Li Qingchen can't help but get dark, because he has been living in a ruthless and lawless place like Youzhou since he was a child, so he doesn't have a special feeling, but the old oilers of Youzhou Town Wusi have worked hard to train him, plus he has been on a mission all year round, step by step, and the solid foundation and rich practical experience that he has worked his own are unimaginable to outsiders, which is probably one of the reasons why he was thrown into this team.
