Chapter 54: The Green Water Patrol River Guard
Three hundred miles of Qingxi River. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The grass on both sides of the bank is verdant, the river surface is rugged, the water is as green as green, and from time to time there are wild ducks and birds flying over the sky, or floating on the water surface and playing.
A ship carrying nine Terran sergeants dressed in mountain armor and armed with sharp knives, spears, and archers swam nimbly out of the dock covering an area of hundreds of meters on the shore, among the moored cargo ships, merchant ships, and fishing boats, and slowly pushed the waves along the shore.
This is a patrol ship, subordinate to the Qingshui City River Patrol Guard, and its main mission is to regularly patrol the Qingxi River, kill the rebel demon clan, ensure the operation of cargo ships and merchant ships, and the safety of fishermen's lives.
Although Qingshui City and Shangxi City launched a war against the Qingxi River Demon Clan ten years ago, and with the help of the Purple Sword Sect of Qianyuan County, they won the victory and took control of the Qingxi River region, there are still remnants of the Demon Clan, and they make waves from time to time.
In order to ensure the smooth transportation of the Qingxi River, a convenient waterway, Qingshui City and Shangxi City have set up their own river patrol guards.
On the one hand, it is used to kill the scattered demon clans that are causing chaos, and by the way, suppress the resurgence of the Qingxi River demon clan, and on the other hand, to ensure the safety of water transportation, so as to develop the city's economy and promote commercial prosperity.
Looking at the calm river, Lin Erhu, who felt a little bored, leaned on his spear, looked at Zhang Geng, who was sitting cross-legged, and asked with a grin: "Captain, I heard that your baby has recently been tested for spiritual roots, and in a few days he will be sent to the Purple Sword Sect to become an inner disciple, is this news true or false?"
It's been ten years since the formation of the river patrol guard, and at the beginning, I can often meet the demon clan of Qingxi River, and there are battle casualties, but after a long time, the demon clan who don't have long eyes is dead, and there are not many people left who have a little brain, or they can hide at the bottom of the river without bubbling out, or they are far away from the patrol boats, so that in recent years, there is nothing to do in patrolling the river, and it is almost a daily formality.
The scope of the 300-mile Qingxi River is not small, and it is inevitable that staying on the boat for a long time will be boring, so chatting and chatting about gossip from time to time is a way for these river patrol guards to pass the time.
Hearing Lin Erhu's words, Zhang Geng, who sat cross-legged, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, suddenly smiled with relief, and nodded in response: "Well, it was detected three days ago, and it is a high-grade spiritual root." In the middle grade, Zhang Geng deliberately accentuated his tone.
After speaking, Zhang Geng, whose smile became brighter and brighter, paused, and said: "Listen to the steward in the City Lord's Mansion, in a few days, that kid and several other children in the city who have been detected with spiritual roots will be sent to the Purple Sword Sect along with this year's offerings." ”
Thinking that he is a martial artist, his strength is at the level of a master, and he can barely compete with the early cultivation of the demon clan and demon beast realm, but he didn't expect that his ancestors would accumulate virtue and give birth to a baby with a spiritual root.
Although it is only a high-grade spiritual root, it can directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, embark on the path of becoming a cultivator, and easily enter the path of cultivation.
How can he be like him, he has practiced martial arts for decades, but in the end he is only a grandmaster, and he doesn't even have a congenital strength, let alone talk about how to build a foundation, he can only be a martial artist for the rest of his life, and it can be said that he has no expectations at all to become a martial artist on a par with Xiuzhen.
Once a cultivator begins to practice qi, he is no longer a mortal.
And a martial artist does not build a foundation to enter the Tao and become a martial artist, even if his strength reaches the acquired or innate realm, he is a mortal after all.
When Lin Erhu and the others on the boat heard this, they congratulated one after another, their eyes were full of envy and flattery, and there was a relationship between their words.
Also, Zhang Geng, the captain, has such a son in his family, and then his status in Qingshui City is different, maybe even the commander of their river patrol guard will shout Brother Zhang flatteringly when he sees him.
What is the reason why the human race can replace the demon race and become the overlord of this world?
It depends on cultivators and martial artists!
If you want to become a cultivator, you must have a spiritual root, and a person with a spiritual root is one out of a thousand, and only one out of 10,000 can appear.
At the same time, the spiritual root has the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, not to mention, but also wind, ice, thunder, sound and other attributes, and at the same time, no matter what the attributes are, they are divided into four grades, which are lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and best grade.
The higher the grade, the higher the talent and the greater the achievements in the future.
Of course, this is only a theoretical statement, not necessarily.
And martial artists, compared to cultivators, do not have so many requirements, they can practice with or without spiritual roots, it can be said that they are the way of national cultivation, but if they really want to become a martial artist, it is almost a concept of one in a million.
Before the foundation of the martial arts, they are uniformly called martial artists, and the ranks of the martial artists from low to high are: third-rate, second-rate, first-class, master, grandmaster, acquired, and congenital.
The third-rate to first-class can only be said to be physically strong, with a physique far beyond ordinary people, but once you have the strength of a master, you can confront the demon clan who cultivated in the early stage of the demon beast realm.
However, only when the Qi cultivation realm of a cultivator breaks through to the foundation building realm, and succeeds in building a foundation from the innate foundation and transcends mortals, can he be called a martial artist and officially enter the path of martial arts cultivation.
Therefore, the official realm of martial arts is actually as follows: martial artists, martial artists, military generals, martial marshals, martial kings, martial emperors, and martial emperors!
(The setting of the martial artist is briefly mentioned in Chapter 30, but it is not thorough, considering the needs of the development of the plot in the future, so here is a detailed introduction to the cultivator and the martial artist.) )
But if you really calculate it, cultivators are too popular compared to martial artists, the former only needs to have talent, and there is a basic guarantee for achievement, while the latter is indispensable for talent and perseverance.
Zhang Geng's son has a top-grade spiritual root, and becoming a cultivator must be ironclad, and he has joined the Purple Sword Sect of Qianyuan County, and the future is a smooth road without thinking about it.
Although he can't hug his own thighs, it is also very necessary to hug his father's thighs at this time.
At this moment, the archer in charge of watching the wind suddenly exclaimed with joy: "Captain, there is a black demon turtle in front!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone on the entire patrol ship suddenly shuddered, and one by one they clenched the weapons in their hands, and looked excitedly at the place where the bow and arrow were fingered, and they saw the black demon turtle they said from a distance.
River Patrol is a high-risk position, and it is true that the military salary is much higher than most of the colleagues in Qingshui City, but the real money comes from the demon clan they kill.
The flesh, blood, fur and bones of the demon clan are not much worse than the elixir and spirit grass, and I don't know how many people in the city are rushing to buy it.
You must know that after the big battle four years ago, why Qingshui City was able to quickly recover its strength and grow with relish, it relied on the countless demon clan flesh and blood and many other cultivation materials that day.
Although most of it was divided between the Purple Sword Sect and Shangxi City, the rest was enough to benefit the entire Qingshui City.
"Kill it!"
As the captain of this patrol ship, Zhang Geng was not ambiguous, and directly pulled out his waist knife and shouted in a deep voice, looking at the demon turtle in front of him with a firm gaze.
The son will leave home in a few days and go to the Purple Sword Sect, as an ordinary father, he doesn't have much help and things to give him, but today he actually met this demon turtle, so he will kill it and bring some flesh back to nourish him!
And just when the archer screamed, Wu Gui, who had just left the cave, also happened to find this Terran patrol ship, he did not leave immediately, but after thinking about it, he looked at it quietly......
