A huge change that affected the situation in the entire northwest slowly unfolded between the two old men's words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If Zhang Wuxian can really return to the imperial court and sit firmly in the position of the left governor of the Northwest Army, it also means that most of the thoughts spent by Xu Beiyou's master and apprentice on him will be in vain.

I'm afraid Xu Beiyou would never have thought that a few months ago he was a little person at the bottom of the Northwest, and a few months later he had inadvertently met a big man who was about to become the new master of the Northwest.

It's just that there are two kinds of people in this world, one is who I am and what I have done. The other kind of person is who I am and who I know.

Xu Beiyou doesn't want to be the second kind of person, he doesn't want the world to mention him and say that this is Xu Beiyou, Gongsun Zhongmou's apprentice. He wants others to say that this is Gongsun Zhongmou, Xu Beiyou's master.

For the first thirty years, look at the father and respect the son.

After 30 years, the son respects the father.

When Xu Beiyou read the "Huayan Sutra", he once saw a Buddha verse: If you want to be the dragon elephant of the Buddhas, you must first be a sentient being, a horse and a cow, and I feel a lot.

Just when Lan Yu arrived in Zhongdu, several small things happened on the Xiulong grassland, which was not too far from Zhongdu.

Recently, because of the surge in the number of people going to Julu City, there are a lot of horse thieves who come and go like the wind on the Xiulong grassland, and these horse thieves dare not attack the big caravans that are backed by the powerful, so they specially pick those small caravans that have no background backing, and even some lonely martial artists and the like are not spared, and for a while, corpses can be seen everywhere in the grass nests of Xiulong grassland.

But in the past few days, these harmful horse thieves have finally suffered retribution, and nearly 100 horse thieves have been slaughtered by an unknown swordsman with a single sword, and their heads have been cut off and hung on wooden stakes, which has made many merchants who have been deeply affected by horse thieves applauded. There is speculation about which way these horse thieves provoked the immortals, some say that they are high-ranking disciples of Taoism, some say that they are lay disciples of Buddhism, and some people swear that they are the sons of a family who came from Wei.

But no one with a discerning eye will believe these rumors, if it is really a disciple from a big sect who acts, and still use such a cover-up? He would have already shown his name, so that he could take advantage of Julu City to win a chivalrous reputation, and then pass it on by word of mouth with the help of friends, and in time he would be a young man with a little fame.

The autumn night is cold, and the chill in the middle of the night on the grassland is even more bone-chilling.

A bonfire flickered on the leeward side of a small hill, and a dozen tall men with gloomy expressions sat around the bonfire, eating two roasted yellow sheep. A dozen horses were tethered not far away, but there were no wagons to carry them, and needless to say, these people were certainly not serious merchants, but horse thieves who made a living by plundering.

A figure with a negative sword appeared on the high slope, coldly looking down at the dozen or so people, with no extra emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at a group of dead people.

Early autumn is a good time to kill, the weeds on the grassland have grown to half a man's height, throw the corpses into it, there is no trace of it, and these corpses will not be eaten by the wild wolves who come out to forage for food in a short time, and even the effort of digging pits and burying people is saved.

One of the leaders held the hilt of the sword, looked up at the swordsman on the hillside, and sneered: "You are the nameless swordsman who specializes in killing horse thieves recently?" Young man, each line has its own rules, you broke the rules, someone paid five hundred taels of gold to buy your head, and today you knocked down our brother's hands, you are unlucky, the reason why I told you this is to let you see the king of Hades and not be a fool, and you can be a person who understands in the next life." ”

The young swordsman who covered his face with a black scarf did not speak, but slowly pulled out the sword behind his back, and the body of the sword shimmered like a lake in the moonlight.

The twelve robbers, who did not look like ordinary horse thieves, slowly got up, but the twelve giant blades were bloody and cold in the moonlight.

They have a common name, called the Twelve Wolf Thieves, who do not buy and sell houses and rob houses, but specialize in taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, this time they received five hundred taels of gold from their employers, and deliberately waited for the rabbit to wait for this unruly nameless swordsman to come to the door to die.

The leader of the leader, nicknamed Wolf Head, stared at the nameless swordsman with a cold look in his eyes, no carelessness, and no extra attention. Although this young man killed a lot of horse thieves, some catties and taels, and was not afraid of capsizing in the gutter, but in the end, the dead were ordinary horse thieves, and they were very different from their twelve wolf thieves, and the wolf head did not believe that this young man could turn the sky out of the palms of their twelve brothers.

The nameless swordsman is Xu Beiyou, who practices swords.

The previous few unlucky horse thieves were all targets arranged for him by the master Gongsun Zhongmou, although these horse thieves came and went like the wind, and the traces were difficult to find, but there was no concealment in front of Gongsun Zhongmou.

Although these horse thieves have not learned any orthodox martial arts, and most of their realm strength is only around five or six grades, they are all able to fight again and again, and they are not afraid of death unique to the fierce and vicious generation, and there are many people, and they can even compare to the cavalry charge between riding horses and running, which is most suitable for beginners like Xu Beiyou who have not been stained with much blood to hone their swordsmanship.

I have to say that before stepping into the realm of the five immortals, life and death fighting is the best means to sharpen one's own cultivation, these few times with the horse thief, Gongsun Zhongmou did not follow, just told Xu Beiyou a location and let him do his own thing, Xu Beiyou went alone with a single sword, and after leaving more than a dozen deep scars on his body, he cut off the heads of eighty-seven horse thieves, and the latent sword qi in the limbs and hundreds of bones was absorbed most of the time in the fight, and finally saw the dawn of the second-grade realm.

The Twelve Wolf Thieves are the last battle, and the most crucial battle.

Xu Beiyou clenched Tianlan in his hand, did not retreat, but advanced, and strode forward.

The wolf head and the other eleven wolf thieves were a little surprised, and the wolf claws and wolf eyes even let out a disdainful sneer after being surprised.

This young man who is not self-sufficient wants to use a pair of twelve wolf thieves is not a useless embroidered pillow, everyone is above the three-grade realm, and the leader of the wolf has even set foot in the second-grade realm, if he does not have some real skills, he will not be able to do this business for others.

The wolf's head used a look, the wolf's claws and wolf's tail came out side by side, and he also ran rapidly, and when he was still a dozen steps away from the swordsman, he raised the giant blade in his hand that resembled a recurved wolf's fang, and slashed it fiercely.

One is fast, the other is ruthless.

Xu Beiyou turned sideways slightly, and a sword was obliquely picked on the giant blade of the wolf's claw, and the seemingly fluttering sword forced the wolf's claw back more than ten zhang. After the diagonal pick, he smashed down with the hilt of the sword, smashing the wolf's tail away with a knife, and then stepped on the wolftail's chest, kicking him out of the air.

Neat.

The wolf's face became solemn and he raised his hand.

Including the slightly embarrassed wolf claws and wolf tails, all the wolf thieves raised their giant blades in their hands, with the wolf's head as the center, like a fan spreading.

Xu Beiyou took a deep breath, now he has just stepped into the second-grade realm, and with his own strength against a second-grade realm and eleven third-grade realms, it sounds completely like a madman who doesn't want to die, but there is a good saying, if you don't go crazy, you can't become a Buddha, if you want to be like the Buddha who lives in the West Heaven and is worshiped and admired by hundreds of millions of people, you have to have this crazy demon who sacrificed his life.

Xu Beiyou raised his sword and continued to sweep forward.

The wolf head squinted at the masked swordsman, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and slashed it himself.

This knife seems to be plain and straightforward, simple and unremarkable, but in fact, there is a knife in an instant, the edge is incomparable, this is the wolf's unique stunt virtual knife technique, many masters of the same realm who do not know the details have overturned the boat under the gutter under this knife.

Xu Beiyou was not frightened or afraid, handed out a sword in his hand, Zhongzheng was peaceful, let you be as impermanent as the water, I will not move like a mountain.

This is a sword five swords, not moving.

To the extreme, the sword can be made into a sword mountain, such as a towering mountain.

Swords intersect.

The sound of gold and stone exploded, and the strong wind blew in all directions, causing the surrounding weeds to fall backwards together, advancing layer by layer, a magnificent spectacle.
