The east gate is the gate for the army to go out and the princes and generals to enter and exit, before the little ghost boy took Wu Xiu to see it from afar, it is indeed the city gate that highlights the military might of the great country, and it is more magnificent than the south gate. Wu Xiu stood on the mountainside five miles outside the city, and the entry and exit of the east gate were unobstructed. The time when the emperor's team will leave the city is uncertain, so they can only come here early and wait.

Near noon, the black and solemn Huwei Gate slowly opened, a group of black armor sergeants ran out of the city gate left and right in line, and then fifty or sixty cavalry armored sergeants slowly out of the city, behind them were two carriages, followed by a horse in civilian clothes, plus on foot, there were as many as three hundred people, the last line should be the officials who saw them off, there were also as many as twenty or thirty people, they were wearing official mansions, standing on the side of the east gate. After a while, a man dismounted from the first carriage bowed to the officials who saw him off, and the officials returned the salute.

The person who got off the carriage should be the emperor.

I don't know if there are some masters hidden in those plainclothes people, but there must be one. Those fifty or sixty cavalry lightly armored sergeants were not easy to deal with. Wu Xiu did not have the confidence that he could cut off the head of the former emperor from these more than 300 people. So I can only follow, follow from afar, and look for opportunities.

This goes to Fengshan County, more than 4,000 miles. At their pace, it is impossible to arrive without two months. Therefore, Wu Xiu was not in a hurry.

For five days in a row, Wu Xiu just quietly followed the team. On the evening of the fifth day, fifty or sixty lightly armored sergeants turned their horses around and left the emperor's convoy, which should have ended the escort mission and returned to Xudu.

So Wu Xiu decided to wait for the early hours of the morning, when people were sleepy and tired, to sneak into the team and look for a good opportunity to assassinate.

The convoy rested in the valley, and Wu Xiu lit a bonfire on the other side of the mountain, ate dry food, and waited for the opportunity.

In the dense forest not far away, the black mist was shrouded, and after a while, a mouthful of big white teeth appeared from the black fog, and then Zhu Xiaokui's whole face appeared, a little sneaky.

He grinned and looked at Wu Xiu not far away, thinking about how to be scary.

Zhu Xiaokui picked up a stone casually, threw it to Wu Xiu's side, and then shrank into the black tortoise shell like a shrunken turtle, quietly waiting for Wu Xiu's reaction. After waiting for a while, he couldn't hear the sound, and he had to repeat his old tricks. This time, a quarter of an hour had passed, and he still couldn't hear any movement from Wu Xiu's side, so he had to stick out his head again, never thinking that there was nothing else in the open space in front of him except for the small fire.

He was slightly disappointed and muttered, "It shouldn't be scared away!"

So he was so stupid that he had to shake the black seal on his belt to collect the black fog around him, and when he was about to walk out of the dense forest, his shoulders suddenly sank, and a small hand was on his shoulder, which scared him.

But the grandson of the great master of the ghost path, he has the ambition to unify the ghost path of the world, and he deals with ghosts all day long, how can he be so embarrassed by the ghost way. He immediately pinched his hands, and the black seal on his belt instantly emitted a thick black mist, and it was just a blink of an eye that wrapped him tightly.

Then he was shocked, his face was slightly pale, he stretched out his head, looked at the dark and blurred dense forest, and saw a face smiling at him, which frightened Zhu Xiaokui again.

That person was Wu Xiu, and he smiled, "Isn't it fun?"

Zhu Xiaokui glared at him, stroked his coarse cloth clothes a little unnaturally, walked out of the black mist, and said lazily: "I'm too lazy to scare you, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death!"

Wu Xiu smiled: "Then thank you little immortal master for your grace of not killing." He pointed to the campfire ahead, walked out of the forest, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhu Xiaokui followed him and did not withdraw the black mist, which followed behind him, and also asked, "Why are you here?"

Wu Xiu sat down, added a few sticks of dry firewood, and looked at Zhu Xiaokui, who was also sitting opposite, the black mist behind Zhu Xiaokui swayed in the wind, and under the light of the fire, it was like a black stout python chasing its tail, "Don't put it away?"

Zhu Xiaokui snorted and shook his head, "Don't accept it, it's dark, who knows if there are wild ghosts who make it difficult and sneak attack from behind!"

Wu Xiu laughed, "You are a dignified ghost monk, and you are also afraid of ghosts?"

Zhu Xiaokui also sneered, "That's not afraid, I'm afraid of ghosts like you." ”

Wu Xiu sighed and had to apologize, "I scared you just now, I'm sorry." ”

Zhu Xiaokui pursed his lips, "Why didn't you move at all just now?"

Wu Xiu picked up the small pebble thrown by Zhu Xiaokui just now, "If there is any movement, how can I scare you." ”

Zhu Xiaokui had no choice but to put away the black mist, "Okay, count you amazing!" He roasted his somewhat cold hands, and straightened his expression, "Say, why are you here?"

Wu Xiu raised his hand, "You speak first." ”

Zhu Xiaokui had no choice but to say: "My grandfather asked me to collect the soul." ”

Wu Xiu asked, "Whose soul can't it be my soul, right?"

Zhu Xiaokui said, "It's your turn." ”

Wu Xiu brushed the fire, "I'll kill someone." ”

Zhu Xiaokui asked, "Who are you killing?"

Wu Xiu lifted his hand, "It's your turn." ”

Zhu Xiaokui rolled his eyes, fell straight back, and muttered, "It's so tiring to talk to you!" I can only say this, and nothing else. ”

Wu Xiu smiled faintly: "I can only tell you this, and I can't say much else." Your grandfather is okay. ”

Zhu Xiaokui's eyes widened, looking at the sparse starlight, and said weakly: "Okay, okay." Why don't you ask me?"

Wu Xiu had no choice but to ask, "What about you, how are you doing?"

Zhu Xiaokui let out a long sigh, "It's very bad! The old man is too strict, it's annoying!"

Wu Xiu persuaded: "That's for your good, the expectations for you are too high, when your cultivation is not high, he doesn't want you to have any accidents." I know a person, his name is Qin Feng, he has no adults in his family, he supports himself alone at a young age, and he also adopted a little girl. You are much happier than him. ”

Zhu Xiaokui suddenly asked, "Wu Xiu, are we friends?"

Wu Xiu said: "You say yes, yes." ”

"Is that Qin Feng your friend?"

"Yes. ”

Zhu Xiaokui pulled a piece of grass and chewed it, as if he had encountered something sad, he began to feel a little lost, and sighed: "I don't seem to have any friends, alas, since I can remember, in addition to practicing every day, I am serving my grandfather." ”

Wu Xiu said: "You have it now." ”

Zhu Xiaokui spit out the chewed grass and said happily: "Then can you introduce your friends to me? Don't they all say that friends of friends are friends?"

Wu Xiu had no choice but to reply: "If there is a chance, I will definitely do it." ”

Zhu Xiaokui smiled brightly, got up suddenly, and said, "Since we are friends now, I'll tell you whose soul I'm here to collect." ”

He looked around and lowered his voice, "I'm here to collect the soul of the Great Zhou Emperor." ”

Wu Xiu nodded, and said with relief: "Then I won't hide it from you, I'm here to kill the first emperor." ”

Zhu Xiaokui exclaimed: "You are also here to slay the dragon?"

Wu Xiu asked suspiciously, "What is dragon slaying?"

Zhu Xiaokui looked at Wu Xiu's eyes, except for the doubts and the reflected firelight, it was not too big, and there were some vicissitudes, and it took a long time before he said: "Friends and friends must be honest with each other, and you can't lie." ”

Wu Xiu frowned and said, "Do I look like I'm lying?"

Zhu Xiaokui blinked at this time, "Then I'll tell you?"

Wu Xiu threw another handful of dry firewood, and instantly sparked into the sky, "Tell me about it." ”

Zhu Xiaokui began to brew, as if thinking about where to start, he coughed his throat and asked, "Do you know the dragon flying in the sky and swimming in the water?"

Wu Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't know, have you seen it?"

Zhu Xiaokui rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I haven't seen it, I heard that there is." Then you've always heard of the title of dragon vein dragon son and dragon grandson, right?"

Wu Xiu said: "It's just a name, how can there be any real dragon vein dragon." ”

Zhu Xiaokui sighed helplessly, "Can you just listen to me?"

"You have to ask me. ”

Zhu Xiaokui ignored Wu Xiu and continued: "For thousands of years, the people under the mountain have called the king of the world who rules the world a dragon, the son of destiny. The kings of those generations were also happy with its name, taking the dragon as their symbol, wearing dragon robes, sitting on dragon chairs, and sleeping on dragon couches. The Great Zhou Dynasty is long, occupying all the luck of the world, and now the Great Zhou is dead, the first emperor is the last emperor of the Great Zhou, and the luck is on the first emperor. Although the king of Wei is also surnamed Xiong, he is destined to rebuild the temple, after his death, the spiritual seat is the first to be placed on the Taimiao of the Great Wei, it is impossible to put it on the Taimiao of the Great Zhou, he is the founding emperor of the Great Wei, and has nothing to do with the Great Zhou. This kind of atmospheric luck that has accumulated for more than a thousand years, if the emperor grows old, will slowly dissipate between the heaven and earth of the Great Wei, and will feed back to the thousands of miles of the Great Wei Dynasty, for example, a certain river will no longer rage, and a certain woman will give birth to a child to cause a vision of heaven and earth, and the child will either be a loyal minister and a good general when he grows up, or he will be a successful cultivator in the future or a martial arts wizard in the future. ”

Zhu Xiaokui wiped it on the black seal, and a water bag appeared out of thin air, but there was a strong aroma of wine, he took a sip, handed it to Wu Xiu, and continued: "Luck is a thing called dragon qi by ordinary people, and ordinary people can't see or touch it. But in the eyes of the monks on the mountain or the takeo Yamashita who knew the reason, it was a good thing, and even a great blessing. Being obtained by these people, and then instilling the body with secret methods, or using medicine as a guide, it can make the martial arts who take the path of martial arts have a higher upper limit in the future, which can help people in the path of cultivation to stabilize the realm, or become a panacea for breaking the mirror. However, the higher the cultivation, the smaller the effect, and the lower the cultivation, the greater the effect. ”

"Therefore, there are many people who come to kill the emperor this time and grab luck, and what they really need are those who are not in a high realm, among which there are some middle and lower sects that focus on cultivating objects and people who have not been able to break through the realm for a long time, and some big sects have turned their noses up at this, because the big sects are rich in resources, and cultivating a monk with excellent qualifications is nothing more than spending more money. There are also some people who think that the luck of other families is another family's luck after all, and their own luck must be cultivated by themselves. Like me. ”

Zhu Xiaokui finally pointed at himself and said, "First, I don't need it, and second, my grandfather wants me to cultivate the luck of the ghost path in the world by myself, and let the other three daos see, the ghost dao is not the last door!"

Zhu Xiaokui's last words were impassioned, Wu Xiu reluctantly poured a sip of wine, but he didn't expect it to be wine mixed with water, and it was very unpleasant to drink, "Why do you add water to the wine?"

Zhu Xiaokui grabbed the water bag and took a sip, but he still didn't seem to be used to it, and bared his teeth for a long time before saying: "I'm not used to drinking wine without water!"

Wu Xiu smiled and asked, "Are you afraid that if you drink real wine, you will drink it in one sip?"

Zhu Xiaokui carefully put away the water bag and said impatiently: "As long as it's wine, it doesn't matter if it's mixed with water or not, come out and walk the rivers and lakes, and don't be informal." ”

Wu Xiu asked, "You don't need that so-called luck, but you need his soul?"

Zhu Xiaokui nodded, "Yes, my grandfather said that this soul is the best mortal soul, and it will not be accepted for nothing." Besides, I have the dead souls of all the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty in this Burning Sky Seal, and only by taking this last one can it be considered complete. ”

Wu Xiu asked, "How many thousand years did your grandfather live?"

Zhu Xiaokui smiled, "How can there be thousands of years so exaggerated, there should be three or four hundred years old." ”

Wu Xiu pointed to the black seal, "Then you said that the seal contains the souls of all the emperors of the Great Zhou?"

Zhu Xiaokui said mysteriously: "I am a family heirloom, and it has been passed down for dozens of generations. ”

Wu Xiu asked: "Your cultivation is not high, you hang on your waist all day long, and you are not afraid of others stealing it?"

Zhu Xiaokui patted the seal, "This magic weapon recognizes the master, and it will come back by itself." Now, it's time for you to talk about it, right?"

Wu Xiu said: "I'm really not here to slay any dragons. ”

He paused, "I was just ordered to kill." When he dies, I'll be free to go wherever I want. ”

Zhu Xiaokui asked, "Ordered to kill?"

Zhu Xiaokui was about to ask something, but Wu Xiu said, "I can only say so much." ”

Zhu Xiaokui asked in surprise: "Aren't you red and lucky?"

Wu Xiu shook his head, "Don't blush, I don't need it." ”

"Okay. I'm not going to help, I'm only collecting souls, not helping you kill. ”

"Got it. ”

“...... Actually, if you ask me, I can help. ”

"Go aside. ”

"Let me tell you one thing, after I go back this time, I should be able to go out and explore the rivers and lakes. ”

"That's congratulations. ”

"When the time comes, we can form a team, and it's called the Kuixiu Combination. ”

"You're thinking too much. ”

"The Xiukui combination will also work. ”

"Sleep!"

”

“...... Wu Xiu, this is the first time I have gone out of such a far door. ”

“...... Excited?"

"Hmmm! I hope that at this time there will be a gang of robbers and bandits, and then we will wipe them all down and tell them to be good people in the future. ”

"Zhu Xiaokui, how old are you?"

"Twenty, what's wrong?"

"I haven't seen you for a while, and I found out that you are ten years old again. ”

"You...... Ay...... Slept, slept!"

Nearly May, there are more birds in the forest, the sky is bright and begins to chirp non-stop, Wu Xiu got up early, and began to punch under the singing of the birds, a kind of blind pondering boxing, do what you want, the strength is from the heart, the punch is gentle, and the fist is slow, Wu Xiu feels that in this way, you can calm down, every time you set down, you always feel refreshed, and the qi between the acupoints in the body is also a little faster. Zhu Xiaokui sleeps with a slight symmetrical snoring sound, and likes to talk in his sleep, Wu Xiu is a relatively light person, a slight movement will make him open his eyes, which has a lot to do with his many years of military career, so last night Wu Xiu was annoyed to death, and he was helpless.

It was already dawn, Zhu Xiaokui turned over and came to a lying position, continued to fall asleep, without the intention of waking up, Wu Xiu gnawed on the dry cake, turned around, out of sight and out of mind. When Wu Xiu finished eating the cake, Zhu Xiaokui seemed to feel that he was holding his breath on his stomach, so he woke himself up, turned over, stretched his waist, and said sleepily: "I had a dream yesterday, what do you guess I dreamed of?"

Wu Xiu said angrily: "Woman." ”

Zhu Xiaokui turned his head to stare at Wu Xiu, and was shocked: "How do you know?" As he spoke, he felt that something was wrong, and he always felt wet somewhere, and then he got up suddenly, holding his crotch, and his face was as red as a burning ass.

In the distance, the convoy of the emperor was making breakfast, although he was no longer the emperor, but the style of pampering and pampering for many years had not changed, and those servants given by the king of Wei or the eunuchs who were loyal to the emperor were busy cooking on the fire at the door of the tent, which seemed to be a very rich breakfast. In the valley, the smoke suddenly curled, and Wu Xiu and Zhu Xiaokui watched quietly in the dense forest on the mountainside. Zhu Xiaokui said: "My method of observing the tide can only see that there are five martial artists under the mountain, but the monks on the mountain don't see it. ”

Wu Xiu asked, "Can you see the realm?"

Zhu Xiaokui said: "My grandfather once said that those who practice martial arts can't talk about the realm, that is, they are higher than your two realms, and you may not be able to beat them." If you are two realms lower, you may not have beaten it. However, it seems that they are all taller than you, but my grandfather once said that you have a great atmosphere, and the method of observing the tide seems to be lower than others. ”

Wu Xiu asked curiously, "What is the Great Weather?"

Zhu Xiaokui shook his head, "I only know a little bit about it, I can't say it in detail, I just heard my grandfather make an analogy." He said, there is a heavenly meteorology in the sky, observing the weather can know the cloudy and sunny, the meteorological pattern of people and people, how much can be eaten, whether the heart can fill the mountains and seas, from the past of people and the worries in their hearts can be seen one or two, my grandfather said that you are a good person, there will be good rewards, said that the foundation you polished in the army is like a deep hole, temporarily unfillable, it will be difficult to fill in the future, I don't understand this very well. This is different from some great martial arts masters or mountain sects accepting disciples, and looking at other people's roots and bones by looking at the bones and touching the bones. It can't be said that people who have a big weather pattern will definitely go farther and higher than those so-called geniuses with clear bones, grandpa said, people with a big atmosphere may go slowly, but they are more stable, and they cultivate their minds better. For example, I'm just one of the two, both big and talented, so I think it's better to combine the Kui Xiu. ”

Wu Xiu shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you know Cangshan Gate?

Zhu Xiaokui nodded and said: "I heard my grandfather say that Chen Ding, one of the five mountain sects of Great Wei, is a great disciple of the sect master, and he can be regarded as a rare genius in a hundred years of Great Wei." But compared to me, it's almost. I am a millennium. ”

Wu Xiu said casually: "Millennial King Eight." ”

Zhu Xiaokui also followed: "The 10,000-year-old turtle... You are the eighth king of the millennium!"

“......”

Wu Xiu suddenly asked, "Tell me how you practice on the mountain?"

Zhu Xiaokui said: "At the beginning, it was similar to you, the first step was to solidify Peiyuan, stabilize the foundation, warm and nourish the Yuan Shen, two methods, death practice and drinking medicine, but the two are the best in one." The second step is to remove the false and retain the true, exhale the aura of the weather, remove the impurities in the body, and make yourself a flawless body. The third step is more self-cultivation, called the realm of knowledge and action, the prophet after the line or the first after the knowledge, know what it is, how to do it, in the last few hundred years, the unity of knowledge and action, this step is a watershed, and it will be different between the doors in the future. The fourth step, the spirit realm, the medium is the aura of heaven and earth, but the method used is not the same, the ghost path is to breathe in the aura of heaven and earth, take the soul as the guide, turn it into soul power, and gather the soul into ghosts, so the soul is very important to us. The fifth part, the Divine Journey Realm, is that the Yuan Shen reaches a certain level, can go out of the body and wander the world, and take the initiative to accept the baptism and refining of the aura of heaven and earth, and this step begins to become a real cultivator. ”

"For example, cultivation is like planting a tree in your body, starting with planting, pruning unnecessary branches to make it fuller in the future, then starting to water, changing some fertile soil, and then grafting, depending on what kind of fruit you want to eat, the beginning of the Divine Journey Realm is to blossom and bear fruit, and you can start to feed yourself, and you can learn some great exercises and great magical powers. ”

"The sixth step is to ask the state of mind, it is easy to cultivate the mind, it is difficult to ask the mind, the heart is not the heart, the heart is also the heart, and the heart is the same way. Monks who have reached this point can be regarded as people who have gained and lost along the way in their cultivation. At this step, we begin to emphasize the self, cultivating the Tao of our predecessors, and acquiring the exercises of our predecessors, so why not ask ourselves what we really need and what we can create. The seventh step, the Tao Sea Realm, is to become a real fish in the sea, can swim in the world, the Tao is me, I am the Tao, and there is the power of the word to follow the law. The eighth step, the boundless realm, that is the real Dacheng, the legend is the same life as the sky, you can go to the legendary heaven outside the sky, to be the real immortal. ”

"The ninth realm and the tenth realm are both legendary realms, even the eighth realm has not heard of anyone cultivating, the ninth realm is called such as artistic conception, wishful thinking, everything is good, you can imagine how it is done. The tenth realm, the realm of heaven and man, I don't know what it means, maybe it's the real heavenly man. For us cultivators, the division of realms is relatively clear and clear, and the difference between realms and realms is just to say whose realm is more solid, unlike your martial arts. ”

Wu Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and sighed: "It sounds like cultivating the Tao is much more interesting than practicing martial arts. ”

Zhu Xiaokui nodded, "Yes, in the long run, cultivators can live longer and go further." If you want to change careers, you can consider taking me as a teacher. ”

Wu Xiu shook his head, "Let's practice martial arts for the time being." ”

On the other side of the valley, the people finally began to pack their things and get ready to go. When the team of hundreds of people set off, the sun in the east had already quietly risen, and at this speed, let alone two months, three months might not be able to reach Fengshan County. Wu Xiu continued to follow in the rear, but this time he was not alone, Zhu Xiaokui was like a ghost and floated up by the black fog, following Wu Xiu unhurriedly, one meeting and one time down, happy to do this.
