Chapter 54: Mountains and Seas
The shepherd's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he lay down on the spot and bowed to Ji Xiao.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, for saving your life!"
"You don't need to thank me, it's just that you can't beat away a few brutes. Ji Xiao smiled kindly, reached out and scratched his head, as if embarrassed, the shepherd couldn't help but feel a coldness.
Is this the same person as just now?
"Yes, yes, the hero is really modest and polite, but the grace of saving his life cannot be repaid, and please accept Tianbao!"
The shepherd named Tianbao is another worship, this worship can be described as sincere, deep feelings, after all, not every shepherd can still live to kowtow to others after encountering the steppe wolves.
"Don't don't, I said I'm not a hero, I'm a cultivator......"
"Ahh "After that, I have to bow down again.
Ji Xiao hurriedly hugged the shepherd with his hand, after all, his grade was younger than the shepherd, and he was really not used to receiving this kind of gift, morality and etiquette, Ji Tao had taught him a lot.
"I said don't do this, and besides, I'm not an immortal master, just an ordinary little monk. ”
"Yes, yes, the little one understands, since the immortal master said no, Tianbao won't worship it!" Tianbao endured the pain in his feet and was silent, and Ji Xiao secretly scolded for negligence.
"It's pretty much the same, this is a blood tonic pill, eat this. ”
He summoned a brown elixir from the storage bag and handed it to Tianbao, the latter's eyes flashed with doubts, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye and turned into joy, could it be that this is the elixir?
Just as he was about to open his mouth and throw it down, Tianbao showed a hesitant expression, his face was blue and white for a while, he looked at the pill in his hand for a while, and pondered for a while.
After a while, Tianbao let out a long breath, as if he had made some important decision, instead of eating the Blood Replenishing Pill, he cherished it in his arms.
"Why are you doing, why don't you eat it, although it's just an ordinary blood tonic pill, it's still no problem to make your legs better. ”
Ji Xiao turned his head and asked, looking at Tianbao curiously, the latter looked back with a humble face, and said embarrassedly: "I want to leave it for my father to eat, this is too precious!"
Ji Xiao was stunned, and then laughed, "If you want it, just say it directly, I have a lot of this elixir, it doesn't matter if you give you a few more." ”
laughed without grace, but Ji Xiao was not wrong, this kind of healing elixir is a necessary item for monks, and he can be regarded as having robbed the house, he really got a lot of it, and it is useless to put it in a storage bag, it is better to take it out and help others.
Tianbao was overjoyed, and almost wanted to kowtow to Ji Xiao again, but looking at the other party's warning eyes, it was still wise not to. Taking out the precious elixir, he tilted his head and swallowed it.
Then Tianbao felt a warm current flowing through his body, and the injured place was covered with a kind of warmth, and there was a faint itch, and after a while, he found that the wound had faded and the pain had disappeared.
It's amazing!
Trying to stand up and move his feet, he felt much better, and Tianbao looked at Ji Xiao with admiration in his eyes.
The latter didn't care, this kind of ordinary healing elixir only had this kind of miraculous effect on mortals, if it was applied to cultivators, I was afraid that it would not even have a tenth of the effect.
"Sure enough, it's an elixir, how can Tianbao He De get such a blessing, please be sure to accept this worship!"
Sure enough, the first thing Tianbao did was to salute Ji Xiao. It's hard to believe that he is just a little mortal, except for this worship, what can I thank Ji Xiao?
However, he was stubborn, Ji Xiao was more stubborn than him, and stretched out his hand in front of Tianbao, only to feel a burst of strength, Tianbao couldn't worship at all, and could only look at Ji Xiao dryly.
"If you really want to thank me, take me to that city!"
Ji Xiao looked at the outline of the high city in the distance, and his intuition told him that it would be a wonderful trip there.
"Well, the Immortal Master can afford it, and Tianbao will definitely do his best to help the Immortal Master!"
......
"Shanhaiguan ......"
Ji Xiao's eyes widened, and he looked at the big plaque with gold edge on the huge city tower in front of him in disbelief. The gray-black brick wall, the city tower as high as dozens of zhang, the magnificent city gate is just above it, the three big characters of "Shanhaiguan" stand proudly, despise the heroes, and a huge lock is carved next to the word......
This is exactly Ji Xiao's goal, the first fortress in the north of Tieli Kingdom, which has never been breached for thousands of years to resist the invasion of the northern barbarians, and is known as the "Golden Lock Copper Pass"!
When he saw the Great Wall for the first time, Ji Xiao already had a shocking feeling, that weathered history penetrated the vicissitudes of eternity, and it was the hidden antiquity.
And after seeing this border fortress that has existed for thousands of years, it is a different feeling, in addition to admiration is respect.
Shanhaiguan, daring to take the name of mountains and seas, symbolizes his will not to yield to heaven and earth. Thousands of years of wind and rain, I don't know how much blood has been swayed on this heavy city wall, and I don't know how many swords and swords have been staged.
Don't think that Tie Li is a secular country, as the successor of a dynasty, hot-blooded men should come here to protect their homeland, including immortal cultivators who are beyond the mundane, Daqin back then was a real dynasty of immortal cultivators.
Of course, without the existence of cultivators, it would be absolutely impossible for a country to exist for thousands of years.
Tie Li is facing far more than just a war between mortals, but also a war between countless cultivators, the degree of tragedy can be seen, and the "Golden Lock and Copper Pass" can persist until now, and the hardships are self-evident.
Why did Jiuli become Tieli? Although the main body has been dispersed, the will of steel has been passed down from generation to generation.
"In the 5,800 years of the Yuan calendar, the first Shanhai Town General Xiahou Wuming led his troops to fight against the remnants of the Barbarian Xia, fought for more than 100 years, mortals were killed and injured innumerable, and the monks suffered heavy losses, and finally the first Shanhai Town General retreated from the enemy army alone, and the enemy army did not return, and he did not return to ......"
Tianbao said solemnly, not only to explain history, but also to remember the ancestors. After the Great Qin era, the human race also appeared in several dynasties such as the Great Chu era, the Great Xia era, and the post-Qin era.
It was not until the decline of the current ten thousand races that only a few races such as people and demons were left who had the strength to compete for hegemony, and the era of the dynasty was over.
However, the descendants of other dynasties did not deal with each other, and all claimed to be the ancestors of the human race, which led to constant wars, but only for an insignificant name.
Although the era after the Great Qin is still brilliant, it must be admitted that the Great Qin is the ancestor of the entire human race, and the Great Qin era is also the most glorious and prosperous era for the human race. Now that Jiuli is gone, the northern Daxia barbarians are the most enthusiastic about war, and Shanhaiguan is the first line of defense, and I don't know how many poems have been written.
It's ridiculous to say that the civil strife of the human race is just for a breath, and the central territory of the Zichen Continent has become a senseless battlefield, and the actions between the main combat power cultivators don't know how many mortals have been buried.
Immortals fight, mortals suffer.
It's no wonder that the hegemony of the human race has been shaken by the demon race now, and it's no wonder that the main cultivation forces are gathered in the east far from the center, and for so many years, I don't know how many jokes have been made by the ten thousand races.
As Tianbao spoke, some people passing by also stopped, not only mortals, but also cultivators. Some of them listened quietly, and some of them spoke together.
"In the three thousand seven hundred years of the Yuan calendar, Shanhai Town stained the wasteland with Xiahou Cheng's blood, blocking tens of thousands of cultivators by one person, breaking the bones of thousands of them, and deterring the barbarians from daring to come to war for hundreds of years. An old man stroked his beard and said.
"In the two thousand years of the Yuan calendar, the thirtieth Shanhai Town general Xiahou Fengye led the whole city to a decisive battle, and the head of Shanhaiguan was dyed red, and the blood flowed like a river. "A Confucian interface.
"Seven hundred years ago, the ** general rebelled, and the general town of Shanhai pursued and killed thousands of miles, taking his head and leaving no stain on Shanhaiguan. ”
"Twenty years ago, the current Shanhai Town general Xiahou Madman, slaughtered millions of enemy troops by himself, and the Black Thorn Mangyuan is still famous, and no one dares to enter. ”
“......”
More and more people are coming to tell about it, regardless of who is listening. After speaking, he left, without dragging his feet, these things seemed to be unpleasant, and once he vomited, he went home again, what should he do.
Ji Xiao also listened carefully, his blood churned, and at the same time, he was also shocked in his heart, these people were all cultivators, but mortals, far away from here, for fear of angering these "immortal masters".
You must know that mortals worship cultivators much more than cultivators, and at the same time, they are much more blind, but cultivators have always been disrespectful to ghosts and gods, but the current situation is a little strange.
But Ji Xiao doesn't want to delve into it, how can others have anything to do with him?
At this time, he only silently recited in his heart: "Xiahou ......"
A family can also survive for thousands of years, and it has experienced the ups and downs of history, revealing the strength of this family, at least within the Xiahou family, there will never be fewer cultivators.
"Immortal Master, please come with me!" Tianbao said respectfully, seeing Ji Xiao nodded, he led Ji Xiao to Shanhaiguan, and there was no need to register when entering the city gate, Shanhaiguan had this confidence, and there was only a dead end if he dared to sneak in here.
Guannai is a different scene, a huge inner city stands in the center, surrounded by countless small villages and fertile fields, the inner city is full of military formations, and the villages are laughing and farming.
Tianbao took Ji Xiao into a village, Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other, a good idle scene, there are also many shepherds like Tianbao, the natural pasture outside the city is here, it can't be wasted.
Crossing the field path, it is early autumn at this time, the grain is about to be harvested, the wheat field shows gold, extraordinarily beautiful, walking aside, there is a light and leisurely feeling, physical and mental pleasure.
Tianbao's home is not too big, not too small, a wooden hut, there is a sheep shed outside the house, but unfortunately Tianbao encountered wolves, the sheep did not know where to run, at this time there were only a few old guys left in the sheep shed, empty and wandering, when they saw Tianbao, they screamed, as if to ask where his companions went.
Tianbao showed a touch of sadness, and in a blink of an eye, he thought that Ji Xiao was still here, and hurriedly made a gesture of please, Ji Xiao didn't say much, and walked towards the house.
Pushing open the door, a slightly old and sickly voice came.
"Is Tianbao back?"
