"Xilaile" Inn.
When the residents who slept all night woke up, they all had intoxicated smiles on their faces, and their thoughts were still stuck in that dream.
They thought it would be great if they could sleep like this forever, unaware that a bloody battle was happening right next to them at night.
The traces of the battle in the inn have been basically erased, the corpses in the courtyard were sent to unknown places, and even the blood stains on the ground have been washed clean, as if nothing had happened.
This is the most charming place at night.
It can make people who want to know unforgettable, and it can also make people who don’t want to know ignorant.
At dawn, a motorcade was slowly heading west on an official road in Wuyuan County.
The team was not small, there were five flatbed trucks, and some sacks were placed on the trucks. The contents seemed to be very heavy, and each flatbed truck was pulled by two horses.
The leader was wearing a black white mandarin jacket, with two dark arms exposed, and a straw hat on his head, making him look like a countryman.
A man in black was sitting on the flatbed truck at the end of the team. He also wore a hat on his head and held a book in his hand, which was particularly uncoordinated.
These two people are naturally Zhang Laosan and Wang Cheng.
They left the city before dawn. The city gate had not yet opened, but how could they stop Wang Cheng?
Without making a move or even stretching out his hand, he opened the city gate, then closed the city gate without anyone noticing, and left the city with Zhang Laosan and the gold.
This move really shocked Zhang Laosan, and he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Good boy! Those knocks on my head were not in vain!"
Originally he had great doubts about taking this escort trip, but now he is more confident. With beings like Wang Cheng protecting him, their escort trip will definitely be successful!
There were a few old horses pulling the cart, and they didn't need to be driven very much. The road went very smoothly.
Wang Cheng's eyes have been focused on the book in his hand. This book is not a side book, it is the one Qinglong gave him when he entered the Martial Arts Pavilion.
He has always carried it with him, but he has never looked at it carefully. Today is the first time for him to look at it.
"What is blood? Blood is born from the marrow and originates from the heart. When the heart beats, the blood moves. When the blood moves, the qi moves. When qi and blood move, force is generated. If qi and blood are not exhausted, the force will be endless..."
He was extremely familiar with the opening sentences of the book, and Qinglong could see the flaws in his practice at a glance that day.
The so-called qi and blood refers to qi and blood, and what is practiced in the qi and blood realm is qi and blood.
Practicing Qi actually trains the lungs, because the lungs are the main organ for gas exchange, so you need to practice the lungs from beginner to advanced. When people accumulate strength, they hold their breath. The longer you hold your breath, the more strength you accumulate. powerful.
The Crouching Tiger Breathing Technique is a way to train your lungs!
The lungs inhale and accumulate force, but whether they can transport this breath to every cell to mobilize the power of the whole body depends on the heart, because the heart provides power for blood circulation.
Therefore, after training the lungs, it is time to train the heart!
When it comes to lung training, "Crouching Tiger Breathing Technique" is definitely one of the best exercises in the world. If you are training your mind, "Crouching Tiger Breathing Technique" is not enough.
"Master Qinglong is right. My ability to break through to the Qi-Blood Realm is really due to the accumulation of dragon blood!"
The more he understood this book, the deeper Wang Cheng understood the realm of Qi and Blood.
If there is no dragon blood, he can only practice in the Qi and Blood realm until he reaches Qi and Blood perfection in this life. So under normal circumstances, if he wanted to break through the Qi and Blood Consummation, he could only change his technique to a mind-training technique.
There are many mind-training techniques in the world, but in terms of the strongest, which technique is as good as the "Nine Dragons Controlling the Sky"?
What he thought of came to him. Wang Cheng had no idea that the volume in his hand actually contained a volume of "Nine Dragons Controlling the Heavens", and it was the volume for practicing the "Qi and Blood Realm".
Wang Cheng suddenly felt an extremely complicated feeling in his heart. He had some resentment towards Qinglong before, but now he felt very regretful and self-blame.
It turned out that Qinglong really put a lot of thought into the beating he gave him. Qinglong was worried that he wouldn't understand that thought, so he even told him a formula for the "Nine Dragons to Control the Sky".
Wang Cheng didn't know how to describe his feelings for Qinglong. The word "gratitude" could no longer be substituted. Qinglong treated him just like a master treats his apprentice.
Holding the book in his hand, he memorized every word of the volume "Nine Dragons Controlling the Heaven" hidden in the book.
The red sun gradually left the horizon.
This escort team, consisting of only two people, traveled westward from four o'clock in the morning to twelve noon, and finally walked out of the boundaries of Wuyuan County.
Wuyuan County governs five counties: Huangyuan, Baiyuan, Hongyuan, Qingyuan and Pingyuan. Pingyuan County is the seat of Wuyuan County.
Entering Huangyuan County from Pingyuan County, the region immediately undergoes earth-shaking changes.
Pingyuan County still has flat terrain, crisscrossed roads, and grain everywhere, but Huangyuan County has ravines, vast loess, and sparsely populated areas.
There were only two people in the team, but there were about twenty horses, so there was no need to stop and rest.
Zhang Laosan had already got off his horse and came to the flatbed truck where Wang Cheng was. He took out a piece of meat pie from his arms and handed it to Wang Cheng, saying: "Doctor Wang, you can't touch Huangyuan County for forty or fifty miles." When you are alone, there are no restaurants or inns, so just eat some pancakes to cushion your stomach."
Wang Cheng took the meat pie. Although he had never been to Huangyuan County, the terrain here is quite similar to the Loess Plateau, and there are very few large villages and towns like that.
What is there to be particular about in a place like this, not to mention that he has never experienced more difficult conditions.
Seeing that Wang Cheng took the meat pie into his mouth without hesitation, Zhang Laosan's originally worried heart finally calmed down and he said with a smile: "Is this your first time to Huangyuan County, Doctor Wang?"
There was no need for Wang Cheng to tell lies and he nodded.
Zhang Laosan looked at the rolling loess hills on both sides of the road and said in a complicated tone: "The poor mountains and rivers are full of unruly people. Although there are few people here, they are not easy to mess with."
"What do you say?" Wang Cheng noticed that Zhang Laosan obviously meant something in his words.
Zhang Laosan said: "There is a force entrenched here that specializes in robbing pedestrians and merchants passing by."
"Does the government not care?" Wang Cheng asked.
Zhang Laosan sneered: "How to care? There are only ten or twenty thousand people in such a big place. If you dig into the hole, you can't find those people. Not to mention they are just district government officials, even if you send an army of ten thousand people here, they will still be there." To no avail.”
Wang Cheng knew clearly that because of the terrain here, it was indeed difficult to arrest people.
He suddenly looked at Zhang Laosan and asked, "How did your escort get here before?"
"How else can we live? Of course we have to spend money to buy a road!" Zhang Laosan said helplessly.
"You even have to spend money to buy a road?" Wang Cheng was dumbfounded.
Zhang Laosan is a martial arts master in the Dacheng realm, and he has many brothers under his command. How can a small county stop them?
"Doctor Wang, don't underestimate Huangyuan County. It was once the capital of an ancient country. Later, the ancient country was destroyed, and those royal families and ministers who were lucky enough to survive all ran into the mountains."
Zhang Laosan continued: "Although there are not many people here, the forces are complicated. The people I have dealt with before, Lao San, are at best second-rate forces here, not even first-rate. I have heard people say that the strongest people here are The forces have existed for hundreds of years, and their strength is no worse than those top forces."
"Is that so?"
Wang Cheng's thoughts gradually changed. The water in this small county was much deeper than what he saw.
The two chatted one after another, and unknowingly entered the depths of Huangyuan County.
The hills are getting higher, the loess is getting softer, and the speed of the team has also slowed down.
"Boohoo!!"
Just as they passed a hill, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the top of the hill.
Wang Cheng and Zhang Laosan's expressions changed simultaneously, and their hands couldn't help but reach their waists.
"Whizzing!"
A dozen figures jumped down from the top of the hill and landed in front of the convoy, blocking their way.
These people all wore yellow short coats and looked like monks. Most of them had bald heads. Eight of the thirteen people had bald heads.
They looked ferocious and held all kinds of weapons in their hands, including claws, hooks, and maces, all of which were extremely sharp weapons.
A bald man stood in front of the road holding a Five-Tiger Broken Door Knife and said, "Where can the boss get rich? My brothers haven't eaten in three days. Can you give me some money to eat?"
Zhang Laosan tremblingly fell off his horse and almost fell to the ground. He rolled and crawled to the bald man, took out a few broken pieces of silver from his arms, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, the little one is just a There are only so many pullers, so I hope your Majesty will be accommodating."
The bald man took the broken silver from his hand, glanced at it and threw it behind him, and sneered: "Just this damn bit of silver? You sent the beggars away! Brothers, unload their goods for me!" "
"You can't unload it! Your Majesty! You can't unload it!"
Zhang Laosan quickly hugged the bald man's feet, sweating profusely.
"Fuck you!"
The bald man kicked Zhang Laosan in the chest and kicked him five or six meters away. Then he held up the Wuhu door-breaking knife and shouted: "Brothers, unload the goods for me!"
"Haha! Unload!"
"Chopping firewood!!"
…
More than a dozen people shouted "Woo!", swinging their weapons and rushing towards the five flatbed trucks.
Wang Cheng focused his eyes on the book and said without raising his head: "Go ahead!"
Zhang Laosan was lying on the ground, startled for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay!"
These were the most beautiful and reassuring words he had ever heard in his life. There was no guarantee better than these three words.
"You little son of a bitch, please die!"
He cursed angrily, and a carp quickly jumped up from the ground.
In an instant, he changed his image from a country boy to a man-eating tiger.
"die!!"
He appeared in front of the two men in one step, and "bang bang", he hit their chests with two punches at the same time.
"puff!!"
The two of them spurted out a mouthful of blood arrows at the same time, flying upside down like a scarecrow more than ten meters away.
"boom!!"
The two of them fell to the ground together again. After another mouthful of blood spurted out from their mouths, their heads tilted, wondering whether they were alive or dead.
The others suddenly panicked when they saw two of their companions fell down at once.
"The idea is prickly! Pull it!"
