As the heavy frontier army of Western Chu, Xue Zijun is definitely the most unlike an army, Xue Pingchuan's generals do not know how to march and arrange, and do not study the art of warfare, just go out to sweep every once in a while, or sit and wait for the bandits to come to fight, and somehow the border bandits are simply not killed like weeds blowing in the spring breeze and growing, the land of Western Xia is barren, and there is not enough food for the people of the whole country to survive, and there are many small countries around Western Chu and Western Xia, saying that it is a country, but at most it is only a county land, and the big countries in the world are only the three kingdoms of Northern Wei and Western Chu and Western Xia, and the rest of the small countries may have the intention of attaching themselves to the other three countries, but it is said that it is dependent on the fact that it is just to find food and clothing, the more barren the land is in the north of the Central Plains, and the more fierce the folk customs are, the West Chu has accepted a small country before, just because it was later found that not only can not have the tribute every year, but also after making ends meet, it will be completely abandoned, the national strength of the small country is limited, and it cannot afford to raise a frightening iron horse like the Western Chu and Northern Wei, so it has been repeatedly favored by bandits, and over time there is even a country that is a country of rogues, under such a complex environment, it has caused the current West Chu border three regardless of the zone, the rogue converges here, and the target is naturally the West Chu, which ranks second among the three countries in the world, as for the Northern Wei DynastyIt's not that I don't want to loot the richer land, just because there is a Western Chu between the Western Xia and the Northern Wei Dynasty, and as for the further north, no one has ever been there, only I heard that the land of the extreme north is snowy all year round, and the glaciers are lined up, not to mention growing crops, even the living can't survive.

The Northern Wei Dynasty to the west is the Western Regions, the Western Regions and the Central Plains are separated by two boundary mountains, which can be regarded as a natural barrier, although there is less banditry, but in the face of the Western Regions, the tiger is still like sitting on pins and needles, the three countries of the Central Plains except the Western Xia entrust each other with their backs, and create a prosperous era in the Central Plains.

At the Tiger and Wolf Pass on the border, General Xue Pingchuan looked at the young man in front of him who had suffered a lot of injuries, holding a broken knife in one hand and two bloody heads in the other.

"You're going to die yourself. ”

"Do you have anything to eat?"

The young man couldn't listen to the words of the general in front of him, and only swallowed his saliva and looked at the general with burning eyes.

"Two heads, at least they should be able to exchange for one dish and two steamed buns. ”

When a plate of pork and two white-flour buns appeared in front of the young man, they were eaten in a few dozen breaths.

"Not enough, is there anything else? I'll owe it first, and I'll kill a few more when I'm full. ”

The young man looked at the old man in front of him and said sincerely.

"You don't have to worry that I'll stop doing it when I'm done eating, I used to be a trader, and I paid the most attention to credit. ”

The old man didn't care about what kind of business the young man in front of him was doing, he only saw the disregard for life in the eyes of the young man in front of him, with food on one side and the two dead heads whose blood was still not dried up, even when he came to this tiger and wolf pass when he was young, he couldn't be as calm as the young man in front of him.

"You don't have to go again, two heads are worth four steamed buns, and I'll give you another dish." ”

Zhang Mingyue never knew that hunger was so terrifying, although there were times when he couldn't eat in the past three years, he never felt that a meal could be eaten as fragrant as today, although his body was already scarred, for a moment, the young man seemed to really feel that he had become a tiger wolf soldier in this tiger wolf pass.

"You've killed people before?"

The pawn asked.

"Killed. ”

The boy replied without raising his head.

"Can you tell me about your old story?"

"You like to listen to stories?"

Zhang Mingyue finally raised her head and looked at this wrinkled old man who should clearly enjoy his old age at home.

"I don't want to listen to stories, I just think that you kid is a person with a story, you don't stay in the pass at a young age, but you came to this wild place to ask for hardship, you said you have a brain problem. ”

"Do you have any alcohol? Suddenly I want to drink something. ”

The young man glanced at the two dead heads next to him.

What are you doing staring at me when you're dead?

"Drinking isn't good for your injuries. ”

The pawn glanced at several deep wounds on the young man's body, which were visible to the bone.

"When I get a little more hurt, I should be able to become like you, like you inhuman. ”

The young man staggered to his feet, limping with his two heads in his hands.

"If your knife is broken, I will find a way to pay it back to you, I don't like to owe anything to others, I only owe two people in this life, and I will only owe them two. In addition, the food you cooked tasted good, old man, much better than that of Rouge House. ”

The old man looked at the back of the young man leaving, perhaps it reminded him of the years when he first came here, and he was different at that time, and he was so young and frivolous?

As for what this Rouge House was, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

The old soldier who guarded the border pass and had never returned to his hometown once from his youth to the present year of the sixtieth year silently cleaned up the plate that the young man had eaten.

It is best for a person to live a lifetime, and it is best to be a son.

——

Zhang Mingyue carried the head of the dead man who could prove that he was qualified not to sleep in the stable to the tent where he was pointed out by the man yesterday, and he threw the two heads at the door.

"Do you think that if you kill two people, you are qualified to live here?" The man opened the tent and walked out, the sword in his hand was still in his hand, and it seemed that he couldn't put down the sword of the old year.

"I didn't want to say I would stay here. ”

The young man who had turned his back to the lively soldiers and looked at the man coldly.

"I just want to tell you that one day you'll end up like the two of them, and unless you kill me now, I'll kill you one day and get my knife back. ”

Ignoring the astonished soldiers of the congregation, the young man returned to the stable where he had rested yesterday, the wound on his body was still painful, but the blood had long since scabbed, his clothes were clinging to his body with blood, and the red sun was hanging low again, and the cold wind of June and July rose again, and the young man endured severe pain and took off his clothes from under the wound, and his upper body, which was thin but well proportioned, was thus exposed to the wind.

The wind was biting, but Zhang Mingyue had no waves in her heart.

"Maybe you should ask them to cover themselves with a quilt, my Xue Zijun has only died in battle, and I have never frozen to death. ”

The old man of the sixtieth armor came quietly.

"The June winds in the Gobi can absolutely freeze people to death, and I have been here for 40 years, and I know better than anyone else. ”

"You have been in forty years and no one has frozen to death, how do you know that I will freeze to death?"

The young man gritted his teeth and scooped a ladle of water from the stable warhorse sink and poured it from the top of his head to his body, his lips purple but still as cold as frost.

"In my forty years in the army, I have never seen yourself abused like you. ”

The old man seemed to be smiling.

"Then you've seen it today. ”

After wiping the blood from his body, and finally feeling a little comfortable, the young man put on his clothes again.

"Your rule here is that you have to be able to do whatever you want, right?"

"That's right, there's nothing free to enjoy. ”

"I know, I respect you as an old man, and I won't do anything to you, because in my family, there is the same old man, but the old man in my family is much more magnificent than you. ”

"Where do you want to go?"

"Go and snatch what I want. ”

Zhang Mingyue left the stable and went to the school field, the school field was full of bonfires at night, roast mutton and roast pork were golden and oily, there were weapon racks around the school field, and there were eighteen kinds of weapons, Zhang Mingyue finally put it on a Chu knife.

It's a pity that the old fox is not there, otherwise he will definitely be shocked by his eighteen martial arts mastery, Zhang Mingyue said silently in his heart.

Lifting the knife, the young man picked up the roasted fragrant suckling pig with a knife under the gaze of dozens of soldiers.

"Who roasted this suckling pig?"

"It's me. ”

A bearded man stood up, perhaps not understanding why the child in front of him dared to move his own things so boldly, or because he was a little angry at such an unceremonious move, so his voice was a little cold.

"Your suckling pig belongs to me, if you want to snatch it back, even if you come, but I have to say ugly things ahead, I am not your brothers, so I will not show mercy. ”

"The general said that those who are capable will get it, but he did not say that killing people is not allowed in the army. ”

The young man pointed the tip of the knife to his mouth in the eyes of dozens of people, and bit down a large piece of flesh fiercely.

"Come on, let me see what you guys are capable of so much in the eye. ”

"Okay, then I'll let you try it. ”

The beard slapped the weapon rack with one palm, and a spear burst out, someone reminded the young man that it was the four grades of martial arts, and the man didn't think so, Xue Zijun had never been afraid of the word.

Zhang Mingyue shook off the roast suckling pig with a knife.

You deceived me Zhang Mingyue came here at the beginning of the month, and I, Zhang Mingyue, want to deceive you that I don't know how powerful my Central Plains martial arts are.

With a knife in his hand, Tiangang's thirty-six knives swept wildly, and the spear was broken inch by inch in an instant, and then there was a knife on the neck of the beard. Everyone was shocked, but the knife never scored half a point.

"Today, for the sake of roast suckling pig, I won't kill you first. ”

The young man limped away with a group of roast suckling pigs on his shoulder.

This night, Zhang Mingyue still slept in the stable all night with the roast suckling pig flowing with oil in his arms, but the roast suckling pig was hidden in the haystack by him.

Not every day there are bandits to kill, in other words, not every day you can eat steamed buns.

You have to keep food.

On the third day of coming to Tiger Wolf Pass, Zhang Mingyue, who had only eaten one meal and grabbed a roast suckling pig, woke up early in the morning, hastily nibbled a few bites of cold meat and went to the school field.

"Do you want to too?"

The man who snatched his long knife sneered.

"Can't I go out to? Or do you think the barracks are up to you? If that's the case, I'll go home immediately. ”

Leaving two cold sentences, Zhang Mingyue followed the example of a soldier and tied sandbags to his feet and began to run for ten miles, the Gobi was hot during the day, sweat soaked his clothes, and the wound was burning and painful, the young man still gritted his teeth and insisted, and when he came back after running ten miles, he was already sweating.

"Don't you fucking like to splash water on people?"

The young man came to the man who was playing with a knife.

"What did you say?"

The man was a little stunned, and only sneered after making sure that the young man in front of him was not a brain problem.

"Looks like you want to take a shower, just say no. ”

The man, who weighed at least two hundred pounds, turned over and got on his horse and neighed at the horse.

"Follow me. ”

Zhang Mingyue followed, stepped on the war horse and galloped into the pass, and arrived at a waterfall. On one side is thousands of miles of loneliness, and on the other side is green mountains everywhere, which is the difference between Western Chu and Western Xia.

The waterfall is suspected to be the Milky Way falling for nine days, the huge water rushing into the boulder under the waterfall stirs up thousands of waves, the impact sound is like a shocking thunder, I can't hear what anyone says, Zhang Mingyue saw the man smile at him, and then pointed to the waterfall.

"Don't you want to take a bath, do you dare to go? If you don't even have the courage to do so, what right do you have to say that you want to kill me?"

Zhang Mingyue couldn't hear what the man said, but she could probably guess some meanings.

"Why don't you dare?"

The young man turned over and dismounted and took off his clothes, step by step towards the boulder facing the waterfall, and before he was close to the boulder, he already felt that his head was roaring as if he was about to explode, and the old man said that the three masters of the three religions turned the power of heaven and earth for their own use, so why is the waterfall not a kind of power of heaven and earth?

He gritted his teeth and got closer to his body, and there were already a lot of splashes on his body, as if he felt the disdain of the person behind him, and the scarred young man finally approached the boulder with a thousand strengths, and only a foot away, and he could not move forward an inch.

I know that it is the end of the strong crossbow, and it is not perseverance but a fool to go forward.

"What? I thought the general had brought back a great man, but it seemed that it was nothing more than that. ”

The man on horseback shook his head.

"Xue Zijun is really not the place you should be. ”

"I'll come back tomorrow. ”

Leaving these words, the young man rode his horse and galloped, as if to let the wind wash away the shame in his heart.

On the second day, the young man did come to the waterfall again after running ten miles as he had said the day before, but there was no man to follow, and this time it was three points closer than yesterday.

This was repeated until the fifth day, and the already foul-smelling roast suckling pig was finally eaten, and Zhang Mingyue was able to withstand the strength of a thousand jun to hold two breaths on the boulder.

The young man came to the room again, and the old pawn would come to him at night every day for the past few days, but perhaps because of the previous incident, Zhang Mingyue was not very cold to this old pawn.

"Where are the bandits? He asked.

"What? I don't have anything to eat? Why don't you grab some from them. The old pawn asked with a smile. In the past few days, most of the soldiers in Zhang Mingyue's itinerary camp have seen it, and after knowing that this young man is not a soft persimmon, there are few people who take the initiative to stir up trouble, after all, in previous years, the recruits were just the sons of ordinary people's families, and even if they had kung fu, they were only three-legged cat kung fu, and who could have thought that the four dignified and dignified people would actually come to this wild place to join the army?

"I don't worry about eating, I grab it when I don't have it, I just have itchy hands and want to kill. ”

The young man said lightly.

Even if the old pawn was mentally prepared, he didn't expect Zhang Mingyue to come to such a sentence.

After guarding the border pass for 40 years, no one knows better than him where the bandits are entrenched, but he killed two people by luck last time, so he can be so lucky every time?

"You have a big heart, so you are not afraid of death?"

"If I was afraid of death, I wouldn't have come here, but I feel that my body seems to have changed a little in the past few days, and I want to kill a few horse thieves to verify it. By the way, can you use the knives in the school yard?"

“......”

"Yes. ”

Zhang Mingyue left, and left with the Chu knife in the school field in the seven days that he came to the Tiger Wolf Pass.

This time, he directly brought back three heads, and still threw the three bloody heads at the door of the camp.

"What? You want to threaten me again?"

The man seemed to be smiling.

"No, I just want to tell you that you are one of these three heads, but even so, I still want to kill you. And that day will come soon. ”

——

The Spring and Autumn Sword God Li Wenzhen cut Jiao from Yanming Mountain, worshiped the Sword Mountain and entered the realm of heaven and man, and slaughtered the Northern Wei Dynasty soldiers and armor 4,000 things have already become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner for everyone in the rivers and lakes, although Xuanyuan Hongtu had ordered to prohibit the discussion of this matter, but how to block the mouth of tens of millions of people in the world, the Northern Wei Dynasty has been faintly divided into two factions since worshipping the Sword Mountain, the prince Xuanyuan Hongtu faction, the prince Xuanyuan Hongye faction, although most of the temples tend to this great prince who has made great achievements, but most of the hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes are towards the prince, and most of them are inseparable from the prince's benevolence, not to mention that Xuanyuan Hongtu forced hundreds of Buddhist monks in Jiuhua Mountain to death under the anger of the people in the rivers and lakes, Knowing the reason, he said to the old sword god of the Spring and Autumn Period who slaughtered four thousand armor with a sword, but he didn't know the truth of the matter, but said that the monks of Jiuhua Mountain rebelled against the court and should be punished.

Since Jiuhua Mountain, the name of the blue-shirted sword god who was romantic in the rivers and lakes when he was young has resounded throughout the rivers and lakes again, and it is even said that the sword god Li Wenzhen has spoken about the Western Regions, but there is Li Wenzhen in the Central Plains, and you barbarians in the Western Regions will not be able to enter the customs.

It's just that somehow the old sword god faded out of the rivers and lakes overnight again, and there are different opinions about where this old man went, and there is still no accurate believe.

Although Xuanyuan Hongye knows where the three of them went, but after all, it is inconvenient to make it public, how long will the old man come back in this life, or whether he can come back, even he can't tell, although he has been in secret correspondence with Princess Zhaoyang of Xichu, but the letter rarely mentions the matter of the three people, after the old man and the three left, the prince of the dynasty listened to Sima Yun's words to win over the famous Xianshan of the rivers and lakes, and the major avenues of the Central Plains almost stepped on a stool, on this day, the prince of the dynasty returned to Chaoyang City and came to one of the three holy places of Taoism in the world.

Not long ago, Shangqing Guan Heavenly Master Wang sat down on the ninth floor, and his disciple Zhu Feiyu went down the mountain with a sword and rode a donkey to Kunlun to kill the evil dragon, which almost caused a sensation in the world. Xuanyuan Hongye still can't understand that such a transcendent holy place as Shangqingguan would definitely not act in such a high-profile manner, so who released the news?

The day of Xuanyuan Hongye's ascension was the day when Qi Daoyun really ascended hundreds of years ago in Shangqingguan, although Qi Daoyun was a figure hundreds of years ago, Xuanyuan Hongye also knew something.

He also cultivated the Heavenly Dao Sword Dao and cultivated into a land immortal, which can be called the first person in ancient times, what kind of person is a land immortal? Even this prince who does not like martial arts knows that it is really not much different from an immortal.

On this day, there are many pilgrims on the mountain, and Xuanyuan Hongye has always disliked to be too pampered, but he is just climbing the mountain alone.

Sending the purple qi of the fairy mountain to the east, the sea of clouds is vast, and people come and go on the stairs of the mountain, but no one can recognize this prince in white.

When I went up the last step of the stairs, there was a small path beside the sea of clouds that was chanting words in my mouth, and I pinched my fingers from time to time to count.

Not daring to underestimate the Taoist priest who sent the immortal mountain, and ignoring the pilgrims' eyes like looking at fools, Xuanyuan Hongye approached the small path.

"Xiaodao, what did you calculate?"

Stopping the movement in his hand, Xiao Dao looked at the churning sea of clouds and then at the Changhong Guanri above the nine heavens, and he said softly.

"Even peeking at the Tianhe, luck is like a snake, and there are land immortals in the world. ”

Then there was a carrier pigeon, which could fly thousands of miles, and flew on a long journey, and flew straight to the prince's shoulder.

Take the letter and open it. Xuanyuan Hongye was struck by lightning.

There were few words in the letter.

The old man opened the gate of heaven with a sword, and finally entered the realm of land immortals.
