Blue sky and white clouds, flocks of cattle and sheep on the endless green grassland, leisurely bowing their heads and eating grass.

Suddenly, from the herd of cattle and sheep, there were several restless sheep cries, which caused a commotion and made the cattle and sheep run quickly.

When the cattle and sheep ran past, the green grass that had been eaten caused a burst of vibration, and the huge head of the elephant-swallowing snake beast came out of the ground.

In the distance, a red horse galloped over with a stout man, this man had a tiger's back and a stubble on his face, looking very fierce, he pulled out a big knife from the horse's back, and a burst of mana fluctuations of the Perfection of the Realm of Removing Filth suddenly appeared on his body.

"Where did the Qi Refining Realm monster come from, eat me with a knife. ”

The man jumped up from his horse, and the powerful explosive force made the horse on his body unbearable, and he flipped several heels on the grass.

However, at this moment, the elephant-swallowing snake beast opened its mouth, and a figure holding a long sword flew out, and the snow-white blade and the bright blade suddenly collided together.

The stout man's eyes lit up, and he quickly fell to the ground with the force of the impact, and looked at the young man who fell not far away with a wary look, "Bigu Realm monk, are you a Yan or a barbarian?"

This young man is the evil self-generated, he has been in the body of the elephant-swallowing snake beast for more than a month, and has been moving, it is expected that the city lord of Shunzhou will not be able to chase him again, so he came out of the ground.

"Yan people, could it be that this is already in the territory of Yanzhou?"

Yanzhou and Shunzhou are adjacent, in the east of Shunzhou is Yaozhou, west is Yanzhou, Yanzhou is full of wars, because the more west is where the power of the barbarians is located, the two tribes have been at war for a long time, and they have won and lost each other.

In order to distinguish themselves from the barbarians, the people of Yanzhou like to call themselves Yan people, and call the barbarians barbarians, these things are all seen from the book when they were ruthless before the evil self-birth.

"Yes, boy, you haven't answered me yet. The words of the stout man confirmed the idea that evil was born of itself.

Evil Zisheng smiled, "Barbarians are all clothed in animal skins, do you think I am a barbarian?"

The barbarians like to use the leather armor of demon beasts as clothing to show their strength and identity, which is also very clear in the book.

"This is not good, a few days ago, the Yanzhou army passed down the military order, I heard that a group of barbarians have mixed into Yanzhou, you better explain honestly. The stout man asked vigilantly.

I didn't expect to encounter such an oolong, and I really couldn't think of any suitable reason for a while, so I thought about it and said with some embarrassment: "I'm really not a barbarian, I'm a monk from Shunzhou, and I happened to pass by here." ”

The stout man took a closer look at the evil self-born a few times, "But it seems that you are not a barbarian, the barbarian is taller than me, and your weak appearance really does not look like a barbarian." ”

The stout man grinned suddenly, put away his broadsword, walked over to the horse, and patted the dirt on the horse's belly.

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, the evil self-generation also made the elephant-swallowing snake beast sneak underground.

"By the way, why did you suddenly come out of the beast's mouth?" the stout man continued.

"That's the spiritual pet down there. The evil man replied.

"Spirit pet, you are a monk of the Shunzhou Beast Control Dao. The stout man was startled, and suddenly looked at the evil self-generation with some solemnity.

"Oh, it seems you know a lot about beast mastery. "Evil Zisheng was a little surprised, this Elephant Swallowing Ba Snake Beast is a demon beast that Evil Zisheng subdued with the beast spirit talisman of the Beast Control Dao, and it is indeed related to the Beast Control Dao.

"This nature, the war in Yanzhou, the people are displaced, they can't farm at all, and only by relying on the beast control technique handed down by the beast control road, free-range livestock, can barely survive, the beast control road is the benefactor of my Yanzhou people, and please accept the beard knife. After saying that, the stout man actually knelt on one knee.

I didn't expect that the Beast Dao would have such a high prestige here, and the evil self-birth was never expected, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "The strong man is serious, please get up quickly." ”

The evil self-generation did not explain it, but it was even more troublesome to explain, and it was regarded as a tacit acquiescence to this identity.

Hu Dao stood up and said respectfully: "Benefactor, you came to Yanzhou from Shunzhou, are you here for the assessment of the Yanzhou army?"

For the assessment of the Yanzhou army mentioned in Hu Dao's mouth, the evil self-sheng learned something from the book, Yanzhou and the barbarians are at war, the sword is ruthless, there will be casualties, in order to maintain combat effectiveness, it is necessary to replenish fresh blood and recruit new monks to join the Yanzhou army.

It's just that it's not easy to join the Yanzhou army, the first condition for joining the Yanzhou army is that the monk's cultivation must reach the Bigu realm, otherwise, if the lone army goes deep, the barbarians only need to cut off the grain and grass, then they will definitely be defeated.

The second point is that the monk must have a skill, and the battlefield fight relies on the kung fu of real guns, if there is no ability, recruiting some waste is just a life, and the death of the monk is a trivial matter, and the defeat of the army is like a mountain, so it shakes the heart of the army, which is a big thing.

"The one who commands the Yanzhou army is the mighty Dao, and it is also a great avenue canonized by the Emperor of Heaven, the military order is ruthless, and the law is like a mountain, this mighty Dao has also sent proud disciples to my ruthless Dao many times before, but unfortunately the mighty Dao and the ruthless Dao are not emotionally oriented Daomen, although the relationship between the two Dao is not bad, but it will not be any better. Thinking of the ruthless Dao, there was another sigh of emotion in the heart of the evil self-born.

However, let the evil self-born join the Yanzhou army, this evil self-born did not think so, the way of governing the army in the mighty way is learned from the ruthless way, and now he is worshipping under the door of the mighty way, isn't it a little parasitic under the fence, insulting the taste of the master.

Evil Zisheng shook his head, "It's just that I went out for training, not for the assessment of the Yanzhou Army." ”

Hu Dao's expression was a little disappointed, "So that's the case, it's a pity that I've only been able to get rid of the filthy realm to perfection, if I wait for me to step into the Bigu realm, I will definitely join the Yanzhou army and exterminate the barbarians." ”

Speaking of this, Hu Dao's expression was excited and high-spirited, as if he had already entered the battlefield at this time and killed the enemy happily.

"Good man, when you make war achievements, there will be a period in the future. "The evil self-spawn clenched his fists and closed his sword, which is regarded as a farewell.

Hu Dao came back to his senses and said: "Engong, when you first came to Yanzhou, you must not be very familiar with Yanzhou, why don't you go back to the village with me, and I will ask the patriarch to tell you about the things in Yanzhou, which must also help you in your experience, I don't know what you think?"

Hearing Hu Dao's invitation, the evil self-sheng was also a little moved, he strayed into Yanzhou, and his understanding of Yanzhou, except for some records in the book, did not know in detail, it was better to inquire more with the local people, but it was much better than him running around alone.

"That's trouble. Evil self-spawn agreed.

Hu Dao was overjoyed, "Don't be too polite, don't be too polite, this horse is for you to ride, and I'll find another one." ”

Hu Dao put the knife back into its sheath, led the red steed to Evil Zisheng, and handed the stiff rope to Evil Zisheng's hand.

In this large herd of cattle and sheep, there are more than a dozen mixed horses, fat and healthy, all of them are first-class and good horses.

As soon as Hu Dao whistled, the dozen or so horses ran from the herd of cattle and sheep to Hu Dao's side.

Hu Dao turned over and got on his horse, grabbed the horse's belly, and let out a burst of beastly cries from his mouth, driving the cattle and sheep to lead the way.

Evil Zisheng honestly followed behind the herd of cattle and sheep, relaxing physically and mentally, this leisurely and carefree feeling, as if it had brought Evil Zisheng back to the time when he was in the ruthless way.

We walked like this until the sun set in the west, and on the grassland in front of us, a large tent made of cowhide appeared, like a village.

In front of the village, many old men and women sat on the ground, and in the middle of the crowd were a dozen children, the eldest eleven or twelve years old, and the younger four or five years old, who were practicing martial arts.

Although these children are not very old, their every move between their fists is quite orderly, and they have obviously cultivated some kind of martial arts boxing method.

Hearing the cries of cattle and sheep, many children turned their heads to look, this scene was seen by a serious old man, and he deliberately coughed a few times in his mouth, and admonished: "People who practice martial arts, there are two major taboos, the first is that the heart is ape, not concentrating on cultivation, and those who turned back just now will all practice for an extra hour." ”

Hearing the serious old man's words, those children who had turned back before showed bitter faces, and practiced for an extra hour, and when they got up the next day, the pain in their whole bodies was unimaginable.

A woman showed distress in her eyes and persuaded her: "Patriarch, they are just some children, isn't this punishment a bit heavier?" ”

The serious old man snorted coldly, the expression on his face did not ease in any way, but said more sternly: "Loving mother has many defeated children, you feel sorry for them, but the enemy is not distressed, the matter of the battlefield is originally your life and death, and the more you work, the more hope you will have." ”

"The patriarch is right, the patriarch you have only said the first point, but what about the second point?" asked one of the children in the lead, who was twelve or thirteen years old, the tallest and bolder among children.

Behind him, a fat child seemed to be begging for mercy in a whisper: "Hu Tieniu, don't talk too much, if you weren't the first to turn back just now, we wouldn't have turned back, and now the patriarch is angry, if another hour is added, it will be even worse." ”

The serious old man was deaf and clear-sighted, and glanced at the fat boy like an eagle, "Hu Zhan, what are you muttering down there?"

The kid named Hu Zhan trembled, with a wry smile on his face, "It's nothing, it's nothing, patriarch, I didn't say anything." ”

Only then did the serious old man look at Hu Tieniu again, "The second point is that you can't bend in might, in the face of an enemy who is stronger than you, if you give in, you will only die faster, no matter how powerful the enemy is, you must have the courage to face it, do you understand?"

"Understood. The children replied in unison.

"Is that the strength to be so quiet?"

"Understood. The children replied again in a loud voice.

The serious old man reluctantly showed a smile.
