Fast forward nearly ten years, and Wanglong Village has become more and more prosperous. The original road has been doubled and the wooden bridge has been replaced by a stone bridge.
Most of the houses have been rebuilt or renovated. They also followed the example of the Xu family and planted many flowers in front and back of the house. They are colorful and colorful, and the whole village has a faint floral fragrance.
In ten years, the young man became a man and the woman became an old woman, but time seemed to have stopped for Xu Shiyu and his wife.
They are still as healthy and energetic as they were ten years ago. When they stand next to their peers in the village, they are obviously much younger.
From time to time, people tease them and say that they can have another baby.
On this day, the couple was waiting for Xu Qing, who was on patrol, to come back for dinner.
The three children have been sent to the county school, and Xu Qing's wife has also followed them. Usually there are only three of them at meals.
There were a lot of things going on today. Xu Qing came back nearly half an hour later than usual, with a big tear in his clothes.
On the first day of the past ten years, guests from all walks of life have been welcomed. Now Xu Qing has become somewhat magnanimous, completely different from ordinary villagers.
Seeing the hole in his clothes, Xu Shiyu didn't say anything, but Wang Qiaoniang couldn't help it:
"What's going on? Are there any refugees again?"
Two months ago, Anguo's neighboring country Qianguo suddenly experienced civil strife. Under the war, ordinary people fled one after another, and many of them fled to Anguo along the southern foot of the Hengjue Mountains.
Wanglong Village is not far from the border, and people from the Qian Kingdom flee from time to time.
People who were so hungry that they could do anything, immediately started a dispute with the people of Anguo.
These days, Xu Qing patrols the border mountains every day, trying not to allow anyone to escape into Wanglong Village.
"There are more and more people, and they are becoming more and more mixed. Forget about ordinary people, but those rebels are very troublesome..."
While eating, Xu Qing introduced the situation.
On the other side, Xu Wen just finished his training and was going home to visit his parents.
He picked a spiritual peach casually and walked slowly down the mountain.
The spiritual objects of the second-order spiritual veins had appeared nine years ago. The wild peach tree next to the spring got this opportunity and became a second-order spiritual tree. It can produce about thirty first-order spiritual trees every year. Top grade spiritual peach.
Lingtao has the effect of strengthening the foundation and dredging the foundation of the wall. Long-term use has great benefits to the essence, energy and spirit.
The second-level spiritual wood is full of treasures. In addition to the spiritual fruit, the branches, leaves, roots, and glue all have some special effects.
Over the years, Xu Wen would bring back some peach gum every time and let Wang Qiaoniang make soup. The fact that the couple lived longer and younger had a lot to do with this spiritual tree.
In addition to spiritual peaches, he also opened up a small spiritual field and planted about twenty black pearl rice plants.
It can't be compared with the underground space of Qingfeng City, but it is enough for him to eat occasionally.
Slowly walking down Heiya Mountain, after a few steps, Xu Wen suddenly twitched his ears and turned his head to look north.
There was the sound of gold and iron clashing, and someone was taking action on the other side of the mountain.
Ever since he used thunderous means and used extremely cruel methods to kill all those who had misbehaved with Wanglong Village, those desperadoes have regarded Wanglong Village as a fearful destination.
We walked around Wanglong Village, why would someone come here to take action?
The doubts in his heart inspired his invisible clothes, and Xu Wen took off into the air and flew straight to the back mountain.
On the ridge, more than twenty sergeants wearing leather armor were surrounding four people and killing them fiercely.
The opponent's number was far less than theirs, but one of the women holding a baby in her arms was extremely powerful in martial arts.
A gleaming sword can't be splashed by water. It not only protects everyone, but also occasionally attacks, someone on the other side will definitely be hit by the sword and fall to the ground.
Seeing that he was still unable to win, a sergeant dressed as a leader became angry, raised his sword, and shouted:
"Princess, if you are so stubborn, don't blame your subordinates for being ruthless. Back away and load the crossbow. It doesn't matter whether you live or die!"
At the sound of these words, the seven sergeants retreated and squatted down, put up their shields, and formed a defensive formation to prevent the woman from attacking.
Several other people dispersed one after another, took out their crossbows, and shot at the four people.
The woman's sword was like a whirlwind, and she actually blocked the first wave of crossbow arrows. However, the leader just sneered, pointed his sword, and shouted sternly:
"Three consecutive shots, the cycle is non-stop. She can survive three or five shots, but she will definitely not be able to survive seven or eight!"
The sergeants holding crossbows immediately divided into three teams, one team for shooting, one team for preparation, and one team for loading the crossbow.
In an instant, the sound of crossbow arrows could be heard endlessly.
As he said, the woman felt overwhelmed after just two strikes. She wanted to attack the crossbow sergeant, but was blocked by the sergeant's formation.
If she really wanted to attack the sergeant's formation at all costs, the leader immediately ordered the sergeant to target the men and women behind her with crossbow arrows, forcing her to retreat to protect them.
The two teenage men and women behind her both looked somewhat similar to her, and they could tell at a glance that they were her children.
The older girl was doing better. Although her face was blue, she was holding a long sword and trying her best to resist.
The younger boy was a little worse. The hand holding the sword was trembling. A crossbow arrow grazed his cheek, bringing up a stream of blood. He was so frightened that he burst into tears immediately.
The woman deflected the crossbow arrow and slapped the boy in the face. The boy's mouth was filled with blood and she shouted sternly:
"As a nobleman of the Tian family, we should not shed tears when we bleed and sweat. The worst we can do is die here together. Why are we crying?"
Taking advantage of this moment, the leader suddenly pulled out a long bow from behind, opened the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot three arrows at the woman.
The woman swung her sword to block the third arrow, but when the third arrow came, her wrist flicked and the sword suddenly came out of her hands.
After a series of battles and rushing here with three children, her internal strength was exhausted.
In fact, the best way is to give up the two children and rush out of the siege with the baby in her arms. With her ability, these sergeants can't stop her at all.
But they were all born in ten months of pregnancy, and she had put countless efforts into them, so how could she give up so easily.
The sound of "咻廻咻" started again, and the other soldiers took advantage of it and fired a volley of crossbows.
The woman could no longer resist, she couldn't help looking up at the sky, and sighed:
"I didn't expect that I, Lu Zhen, would die here!"
The next moment, a sword light shot down from the sky, smashing all the crossbow arrows into pieces with just one twist.
No one could see clearly what was going on. They only saw a flash of light and all the crossbow arrows disappeared.
If it weren't for the fragments of crossbow arrows scattered all over the place, one would have thought he was dazzled.
All the sergeants involuntarily took a few steps back, holding their weapons on their chests, and looked around.
But no matter how they searched, they couldn't see any trace of anyone.
This kind of method, not to mention them, even Lu Zhen is far inferior. The sergeants looked at each other, no one dared to take action easily.
The leader hesitated for a moment and then boldly shouted:
"We deserve death for disturbing Senior's Qing Xiu. However, this woman is the wife of our country's rebellious third prince. We hunted her down on the Emperor's orders. Please forgive me for that, Senior."
"As long as I capture this girl, I will definitely report it to the emperor when I return home, and I will bring a heavy gift to thank you the next day..."
The mountain wind blew, and his voice continued to echo in the surrounding mountains, but there was no response.
Lu Zhen's face on the other side changed drastically, with nostalgia, sadness, reluctance, unwillingness... countless emotions changing on her face.
Those soldiers didn't know them, but she knew that the sword light just now was not a warrior's method at all, but the holy method of the immortal family.
Then, she suddenly fell to her knees, bowed several times in the air, and said loudly:
"Which immortal master is here?"
"The mortal girl Lu Zhen also went to Qingfeng City to seek immortal fate, but unfortunately she returned to the mortal world because she didn't have enough fate."
"Don't be afraid of the immortal master's jokes. My eldest daughter was born to me and an immortal master."
…
Her eldest daughter was a little shy when her life experience was told in public, but she still held her head high and looked around.
Obviously, she had long known her true life experience from Lu Zhen and was proud of it.
The sergeants in the team looked at each other. Lu Zhen was very famous in Qian Kingdom, and her experience and the life experience of her eldest daughter were also known to many people.
But after all, it was a bit disgraceful and no one would talk about it publicly. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be one of Lu Zhen's weapons today.
However, no matter how much Lu Zhen talked, there was still no movement around.
Gritting her teeth, she suddenly opened a wooden box tied around her eldest daughter's waist, took out a roll of snow-white silk, held it high and said:
"I have here a scroll of spiritual texts passed down by the royal family of Qian Kingdom. We are ignorant and cannot understand it, so we are willing to dedicate it to the immortal master. I only hope that the immortal master can..."
"kill him!"
Before she could react, the sergeant leader stood up suddenly, drew his bow and arrow, and shot at Lu Zhen.
A woman and a few young men do not have much weight in the political situation of Qianguo.
But he, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Palace Guards, still went out in person and chased him thousands of miles away for this piece of silk that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Qian Kingdom.
This thing is the royal treasure of Qian Kingdom, and it is absolutely not allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders. Even immortal masters must fight to the death.
The sword light appeared again, and as soon as it appeared, it turned into hundreds of thin threads, shining around the soldiers.
In an instant, all movements and sounds stopped abruptly.
The more than twenty Suwei, who were skilled in martial arts and determined, along with their leader, were turned into countless fragments.
A bit of green light flew out of the void, turned into more than twenty rays of light, and landed on the corpse fragments scattered on the ground.
There was no smoke or smell, and all the corpses were burned instantly, completely erasing the last traces of these people in this world.
Lu Zhen and others were frightened when they saw it. They never thought that the Xian family's methods were so sharp and cruel.
Compared to these, these so-called masters among mortals are a complete joke.
With a sigh, Xu Wen slowly appeared, step by step, as if stepping on an invisible step, and walked slowly from the air to Lu Zhen and the others.
Lu Zhen was stunned immediately.
Although her demeanor and temperament had changed drastically, Xu Wen's appearance had not changed much. How could she not recognize this old friend who they had traveled to Qingfeng City with in the past.
However, the meaning of the other party stepping out of the void was understandable even if she had not entered the path of cultivation.
With a wave of his hand, the invisible magic power lifted Lu Zhen up from the ground. Xu Wen nodded lightly and said softly:
"Junior sister Lu, long time no see!"
Then without waiting for her to answer, he turned to the girl behind her and said softly:
"What's your name, little girl?"
The girl was a little scared, but she still looked at Xu Wen boldly and said loudly:
"Reporting to Immortal Master, my name is Liu Muchian, and my father is Immortal Master Liu Mingyuan!"
