The three heroes of the Tie clan are from Guangyuan City in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the Tie clan is a big clan in the local area, which can be regarded as a strong party. These three brothers have practiced martial arts since they were young, and they are good at fighting grievances. Because they were concubines and were excluded by the faction of their descendants, they left their hometown and went to Yuguang City, the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, and opened such a dart game and martial arts hall. Because they are strong in martial arts, there are many people who join the dart game and come to learn art. Now there are 100 people, and it can be regarded as a relatively high-grade dart game.

This time, the dart they protected was a big dart, so the three brothers came with seventy or eighty brothers. Now is their way back. Now that we have walked half the way, we will be able to get out of the desert and enter safety in just over a month.

"Second Brother Tiehu, when I was in Shenzhou, I often heard that there were immortals overseas. I don't know if there are immortals in Shazhou?" Li Zhaoyuan asked intentionally or unintentionally while chatting.

"Yes. Iron Leopard interjected without waiting for Tie Hu to speak, and said proudly: "Our Iron Family ancestor has produced immortals, and he is one of the ancestors of our Iron Clan, it seems that it has been more than a thousand years. ”

"That's right. Tiehu sighed: "It's a pity that our Tie family has not had an immortal for more than a thousand years. ”

"Really? Then your Tie family isn't very powerful. No wonder your three heroes of the Tie clan are so powerful, it turns out that there is an immortal inheritance. Li Zhaoyuan patted his ass.

"Yes, the martial arts we are practicing now are all left by our ancestors. The black-faced iron tiger said with a serious face: "As long as there is an immortal from any family or clan, one person will attain the Tao, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven." The family has flourished for thousands of years. It's just that the difficulty of becoming an immortal is not something we mortals can imagine. ”

"Second Brother Tie, do you know how to become an immortal?

"Haha, if I knew how to become an immortal, wouldn't I have become an immortal a long time ago. Tiehu laughed and said, "But the immortals will accept apprentices." ”

Tie Hu asked at Tie Leopard, "Third brother, it seems that this year is the year when the immortals come down the mountain to recruit disciples, right?"

Iron Leopard replied, "Yes, every ten years, the immortals will come down to the mountain to recruit disciples. Calculate that this year is the year when the immortals recruit disciples. Every time the immortals recruit disciples, they will set up test points in various towns and towns, so that people can take the test, and as long as they pass the test, they will bring it back. ”

"At the age of the second brother of the Iron Tiger and the brother of the Iron Leopard, there should have been a few chances, why didn't they try it to see if they could be favored by the immortals?" Li Zhaoyuan asked curiously.

"Why didn't you go, cultivating immortals depends on the spiritual root and the wisdom root. The immortal who tested the test actually said that I don't have a spiritual root, how can it be reasonable? The black-faced bearded Iron Tiger said angrily.

"Second brother, it's been thirty years, there's no need to be angry, even if you pass the test, you may not become an immortal. Iron Leopard comforted.

"Haha, yes, yes. The kid from the eldest mother's family didn't become an immortal, and he was driven back. Iron Tiger gloated.

"Second brother, what do you see?" Li Zhaoyuan liked to listen to gossip the most, and hurriedly asked.

Iron Leopard was afraid that the second brother's words would be unpleasant, so he interjected: "Actually, it was raised here, every time the person who was selected by the immortals was sent to the sect mountain gate to teach the introductory method to practice, but it was only ten years. As long as there is no achievement within the specified time, they will be sent home, and only those who have achieved success in cultivation will be accepted as disciples. Therefore, the people who are selected every ten years are just apprentices. It is not so easy to become a regular disciple if you want to become a regular disciple. The second son of my big house was selected 20 years ago, but he couldn't be turned into a regular because of his limited qualifications, so he was sent back. In fact, even if he was sent back, but he learned some introductory exercises, he is also an outstanding master in our family. ”

"It turns out that this immortal cultivation world adopts a system of elimination of the last position and competition for posts. Li Zhaoyuan said secretly in his heart.

"I don't know what sects recruit disciples?" asked Li Zhaoyuan.

Iron Leopard replied: "I don't know much about other places, our hometown has Fengyu Gate, away from the Dao Gate. There are more in the capital, there are Taiyi Gate, Wule Sword School, Chiyan Gate, You Longmen and so on. ”

"So many sects?" Li Zhaoyuan asked, "I don't know which sect is more powerful?" He secretly thought in his heart, why don't there be ten major sects. The reason why the Ten Great Sects did not set up a presence in the town was because they all had another set of methods of their own, and they could directly go to the homes of people with outstanding talents and wisdom roots to recruit disciples. These secret things are naturally unknown to ordinary mortals.

"We mortals don't know much about that. Tie Hu looked at Li Zhaoyuan with a strange smile and said, "Hehe, listen to Brother Li, do you want to try?"

"Hey, second brother, it's okay for Brother Li to try, if he is selected, if he cultivates to become an immortal in the future, we will follow together. Iron Leopard said to Li Zhaoyuan: "That's right, Brother Li." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. How dare Xiaosheng have such extravagant hopes. Li Zhaoyuan shook his head again and again. His acting skills can really be shortlisted for the Oscars.

"Oh - what don't you dare, anyway, you don't want money, and you don't cut meat. Tiehu patted Li Zhaoyuan's shoulder and said, "When we get to the capital, our brothers will accompany you to try it." It doesn't matter if he succeeds or not, let's talk about it after trying. I'm optimistic about you, haha......"

This black-faced and bearded iron tiger has the temperament of a black whirlwind Li Kui.

Li Zhaoyuan changed into a gray-blue suit and rode a horse. The clothes are Iron Leopard's, his figure is similar to Iron Leopard, and the horse is the contribution of Iron Dragon's men. His hair was also cut short, he was not very used to long hair, and he still had short hair and was refreshing. Fortunately, no one in this world cares about the length of your hair, unlike Old Master Kong, who doesn't let people cut their hair, which is really nosy. Therefore, there are all kinds of releases in the Xuanwu World, and even friends dye their hair.

These days, in addition to rushing during the day, patrolling with the three heroes of the Iron Clan, chatting when I have time, and inquiring about some general information about the Xuanwu World. I meditate and practice at night. Because there is no movement in his cultivation, outsiders can't see the clues.

Now that Li Zhaoyuan is already in the acupoint period, what he has to do now is to open up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra. Because his second vein has been opened, and there are still six veins that have not been opened. After ten days of meditation and cultivation, he used the power of yin and yang to continuously impact the fourteen acupoints on the pulse, and finally opened them one by one, consuming one hundred and forty crystals of yin and yang power.

However, the benefits of opening up the pulse are endless. Chongmai is the sea of internal organs. The opening of the pulse is the connection between the five internal organs and the dantian qi sea, which not only expands the dantian, but also allows the spiritual power and the power of yin and yang to continuously exercise the five internal organs, so that the five internal organs are persevering, can resist external damage, and are not easy to be injured internally. The growth of the dantian qi sea has greatly increased the capacity of spiritual power and yin and yang power. Now the Yin and Yang Crystals that Li Zhaoyuan can condense have reached three hundred crystals.

On the evening of the fifteenth day of Li Zhaoyuan's walk with the caravan, the caravan was encamped, preparing to make a fire and bury the pot to make rice.

The sun glows a soft red, shining half of the sky in red, and the sand dunes are also beautiful orange-red. The sun is setting over the dunes.

At this time, a figure slowly appeared in the sun, the figure was very long, riding a tall "horse". No, not a horse, but a two-legged aviosaurus, which at first glance looked a bit like a velociraptor but it had a huge beak and a cockscomb-like feather on the top of its head, which was three meters high. And then there was another figure, three, five, seven...... The number of people is constantly increasing.

Gradually, it increased to a hundred and twenty people, all riding tall horses, and the red light of the setting sun sprinkled on their bodies, reflecting the blood-red shadows, and there was a feeling of a beautiful oil painting.

Suddenly, the sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding...... banging on the gold vessels was loud, and someone shouted: "Sunset thief—— sunset thief——

The Sunset Bandit is one of the most ferocious sand bandits in the Samagbigan Desert. Although they are not many in number, they are all made up of the most notorious, murderous and bloodthirsty thieves in the rivers and lakes. They robbed not only ordinary caravans, but also pedestrians, and even government caravans. Every time they robbed, they did not leave a living mouth, and their methods were extremely cruel. They robbed at sunset, so they were called sunset thieves.

The people of the caravan who were setting up tents and placing goods immediately panicked when they heard that it was a sunset thief, and some timid merchants were even more frightened. After all, encountering the Sunset Thief means that you can only fight to the death, and money can't buy your life.

At this time, the iron dragon shouted: "Heaven is round array, sky is round array, swing sky circle array...... Immediately, the people who were a little flustered just now quickly dragged the sand beast to form a large circle, and a small circle was encircled among them. It is obviously not the first time that these merchants' hired men, subordinates, and guards have encountered this situation, and their movements are very fast and sophisticated, panicked but not chaotic, and they have a bit of an army flavor.

The sand beasts had also been trained for a long time, squatting honestly on the sand, and covering themselves with their thick-skinned bodies. The eyes of the sand-packers are covered with a black cloth, so that they are not easily frightened like ostriches. It is difficult for people who have not cultivated their true qi to cut and kill the sand beasts. For this reason, sand-packers are also known as moving castles. If you put iron armor on the sand-packer, it will be even more powerful. However, the speed of the Sand Pack Beast is too slow, and there is an advantage in positional warfare, like in the movement warfare in the desert, there is no advantage at all. When encountering sand bandits who come and go like the wind, they can only sit and wait for death.

The merchants and goods are in the inner circle of the second ring, so that they are easily protected from harm.

The dart masters of the Sanxiong Dart Bureau and the guards of the caravan, under the leadership of the three heroes of the Iron Clan, either drew their waist knives or their own weapons in the first circle, and waited for the battle. Some of them took out their crossbows that they carried behind their backs. These bows and crossbows were mainly used against monks who could fly into the sky.
