According to his status, he is a city-defending general, and he really shouldn't kneel down like a passerby. But before becoming a general, he was just an ordinary warrior, and he knew very well how difficult martial arts training is.
Naturally, he knows better than anyone how precious the whole thing Li Xiuping gave him, because with this thing, it can find a way to form pills and do many things that people in martial arts cannot do. Such a great favor , just like reincarnation, then Li Xiuping will naturally be able to accept this worship.
Li Xiuping did not expect that the general would kneel down directly. He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly helped him up and said: "General, what are you doing? Please get up quickly."
The general still knelt down and said: "To be honest, I have been cultivating immortality since I was a child. Unfortunately, I was born without spiritual roots, so I can only choose the path of martial arts. But if I want to continue on this path of martial arts, , it’s really too difficult. I’ve tried various methods, but even building the foundation is difficult, not to mention forming the elixir. Now what the young master has taught me is what I’ve always wanted. The young master has taught me how to solve my doubts. Well, he is my husband, so he naturally deserves to be worshiped by his disciples."
Li Xiuping was stunned, are all the people in Bai Chi Kingdom so particular?
He had no intention of recruiting a disciple. He just met by chance and thought that this person was pretty good and good-hearted. He was also a martial arts practitioner, so he was destined to do so, so he gave this thing as a gift. He also hoped that some martial arts practitioners could get guidance. After all, he has experienced the feeling of being uncertain about the future.
This booklet is indeed extremely precious to many people who practice martial arts, or it is hope for those who have no spiritual roots, but to Li Xiuping, it is actually nothing, because this thing is what he obtained from Emperor Wu City. It was found in his library, and it only contained the practice methods before the martial arts elixir was formed, but not the ones after that. It was indeed of no use to him.
Besides, he could write down his understanding and experience of martial arts casually now, which would be better than this. But he didn’t have the time now, so he dug out this thing and gave it to the other party, but he didn’t expect that the other party would be so grateful, even Yu gave this great gift directly in front of so many subordinates.
It can be seen from this that martial arts practitioners have an urgent need for cultivation methods.
Li Xiuping said helplessly: "If the general is like this, then I will take it back."
After hearing this, the general stood up and said: "If it is auspicious for you to go here, sir, and if I, Bai Qinghu, do not die in this battle, I will establish a sect in the future to pass on and carry forward what you have taught me from generation to generation."
Li Xiuping looked at his radiant face and felt a little helpless. He was not a general who had prepared his troops on the battlefield, he was just like a child who had just received instructions.
Li Xiuping didn't want to continue discussing this matter, but followed this reason, took out some pills, and said: "In this case, you should also take these things together, this way the chance of survival will be greater. , only in this way can this thing be passed down.”
Bai Qinghu looked at the elixir that Li Xiuping took out. He did not accept it, but frowned, because he felt that Mr. Xiao seemed to be telling the story of future generations, just like the stories told by the storyteller, a very powerful one. Because he encountered a change, he knew that he didn't have much time left, so he was anxious to find someone who could inherit his legacy and pass on these things, and he was the chosen one.
Of course, it's not that he has great luck and talent, but that this young gentleman really didn't have a suitable candidate, so he chose him. It can only be said that it was his luck that he happened to meet Mr. Xiao when his end was approaching. .
When he thought of this, the general was almost moved to tears. He took the pills and knelt down again.
Regarding this guy's actions, Li Xiuping was really helpless and had to say: "Don't kneel down anymore. It's really useless for me to carry these things, and I will throw them away sooner or later."
This is true, because these elixirs were all ordinary healing elixirs refined by alchemists when they were in Lingxiao Sect. They were originally meant to stay in Lingxiao Sect, but the battle with the demons was far more difficult than imagined. It is even more tragic and cruel. This type of elixir has no effect at all, so it was thrown into the Qiankun Bag by Li Xiuping. Now there will be a battle here, but it will definitely not be as tragic as the fight against the demons, so these The elixir must be able to play a certain role. Rather than keeping it useless and taking up space, it would be better to give it to the general, and maybe save a few lives.
Just at this time, a man led a group of people up to the tower and saluted: "General, everything is ready."
Li Xiuping and everyone were stunned when they saw this man, and this man was obviously stunned when he saw Li Xiuping.
This man was the leader of the team that Li Xiuping and others met late at night when they went south.
Li Xiuping is a cultivator. Even if he can't remember his appearance, his aura can be seen at a glance. The other party can recognize Li Xiuping at a glance, naturally because Li Xiuping is in his early twenties and has white hair. There are really not many people, and many people will never even see one in their lifetime.
Just as Bai Qinghu was about to speak, he obviously noticed the expressions on both sides and couldn't help but frowned: "What? Do you know each other?"
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "I met him before when I went south."
The man then smiled and said: "A few of my friends turned out to be great generals, but I was rude before."
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "You general and I have just met each other."
The man was stunned.
Bai Qinghu said: "We're here just in time. These seniors will be leaving the city with you soon, so in addition to spying on the enemy, your mission this time is to send them to a safe place."
The man couldn't help but frown.
The mission of spying on the enemy has already narrowly escaped death. Now it is necessary to send a group of people out of the city and to a safe place. This is simply impossible and may even affect this mission.
Before the man could speak, Bai Qinghu said: "This is an order."
Li Xiuping just smiled slightly and didn't say much. He said that these soldiers helped them, but after they really left the city, they still didn't know who helped whom. But since these people are still willing to help them at this time, then if the situation allows Under the premise, helping a group of these people appropriately can be regarded as a courtesy.
The man replied: "Please rest assured, general, my subordinates will try their best to complete the mission."
Bai Qinghu nodded and said: "I naturally trust you, otherwise I wouldn't be so anxious to transfer you from the north."
Afterwards, everyone discussed the arrangements for leaving the city on the tower while waiting for the arrival of the second half of the night.
As time continued, Bai Qinghu asked: "When is it updated?"
The soldier in charge of calculating the time replied: "It will be the third watch soon."
Bai Qinghu said: "Get out of the city!"
As soon as the words fell, countless ropes were thrown down from the tower, obviously intending to follow the ropes down.
Those soldiers were the first to leave the city. When Li Xiuping was about to follow the rope out of the city, Bai Qinghu suddenly asked: "By the way, what do you call me sir?"
Hearing this, the man responsible for going out of the city to spy on intelligence frowned.
He didn't even know their names, but this general asked them to ensure the safety of these people, and even put aside the task of spying on intelligence. Based on his understanding of this general, he shouldn't be such a person. .
Li Xiuping smiled and said, "My surname is Li."
After saying that, he grabbed the rope and rowed towards the bottom of the city tower. Layman Qingming and others also grabbed the rope and went down.
Everyone had left the city, but the man in charge of this mission was still standing on the tower. He really couldn't understand it, so he asked: "General, I really don't understand, why do we have to help these foreigners?"
Bai Qinghu said directly: "Because he is my mentor, so even if your kid dies during this trip, you must send him to a safe place. Remember?"
The man looked stunned, mentor? If you don't even know the other person's name, what kind of mentor is this?
Although he was confused, he didn't ask any more questions. An order was an order, and it was just a matter of execution. There was no need to understand other things, and he couldn't ask any more questions. This was the rule.
As the man also left the tower, everyone headed south along the edge of the dangerous canyon at Jianmen Pass. Everyone looked cautious, fearing that any movement would be discovered.
Soon everyone walked out of the canyon and came to the south of Snowless Ridge.
Although the night is dark, looking south from here, one can see a large army stationed in the open space ahead.
The leading man looked at the camp ahead and whispered: "It's a pity that there are no soldiers and horses at Jianmen Pass now. Otherwise, if we rush out at this time, we will definitely catch the opponent by surprise."
After that, he directly took out a map, then found a place with some faint light, spread the map on the ground, and lay on the ground. While watching, he gently slid his hand on the map to choose a feasible route.
They were originally here to spy on the enemy, but General Bai temporarily added a task, asking them to send these people to a safe place. Therefore, they must first find a safe route to send these people to a specific place. Only then can they begin their main mission this time.
After determining the route, the man put away the map and whispered: "Thirty miles east. Pay close attention to the movement in the south."
The remaining soldiers nodded at the same time, and then quickly shuttled eastward using the cover of the dense forest.
Judging from the proficiency of these people, they must have done this kind of thing often in the past. Such people are called scouts or spies in the army. They are generally very capable and are particularly good at observing the enemy's situation and hiding. They not only have to Find a way to hide behind enemy lines, get all the useful information, and also find a way to send the information out. So this kind of thing is really not something that everyone can do.
Because of this, although such people do not have specific military positions, their status in the army is generally not low. They usually only receive orders from the commander and are only responsible to the commander. Moreover, in the hands of these people, they usually have There are many hidden lines hidden everywhere in normal times, but will only be activated during war.
Everyone was originally worried that Li Xiuping and others wouldn't be able to stand such a fast pace, but they didn't expect that after a while, these people didn't hold back in the slightest, and they couldn't help but admire them.
In fact, Li Xiuping had experienced this kind of situation when he was being chased before. It was a common occurrence to travel through dense forests. If it weren't for the serious injury to his body now, these people would be left behind by him in an instant, and Qing Ming layman They are all masters among masters. Running at this level is as easy as eating from the river.
The road that the man chose was really able to completely avoid the detection of Chi Qiu's army. Even if he encountered many patrol teams along the way, they were all avoided one by one. Until daybreak, no one followed Chi Qiu. The army of the State was encountered, and they successfully traveled 30 miles eastward, avoiding the army of the Chi Qiu State.
Li Xiu Ping originally thought that this trip would inevitably involve them helping, but he never thought that he underestimated these spies and actually sent them to a safe place.
After confirming that he had reached a safe place, the leading man first climbed up a hill, glanced left and right, and then, as if making a mark in his mind, he ran down the hill and said to Li Xiuping: "Go south from here. We should not encounter Chi Qiu’s large army again, but small groups of troops will still encounter them, so you still need to be careful. We still have missions to do, so I’ll say goodbye and wish you all good luck.”
Li Xiuping returned the greeting and said, "Thank you so much, big brothers, otherwise it would be really not easy for us to avoid the Chi Qiu Kingdom's army. I wish you all success and can successfully complete the mission."
The leading man nodded, then raised his hand and made a few gestures. The people he brought with him immediately dispersed, and then dispersed to all directions. They all disappeared without a trace. This man faced Li Xiuping. After the people bowed, they returned directly to the west.
Seeing all these people disappear, Li Xiuping smiled and said: "If it weren't for this injury, I really wouldn't have met these people. These things, let alone the world under the mountain, are actually quite interesting."
Master Qingming smiled and said, "Indeed, if it weren't for this group of people, we wouldn't have been able to avoid the Chi Qiu Kingdom's army so easily."
Li Xiuping sat down on the ground and gasped: "I'm very tired from this journey. Let's lie down for a while and then we can start our journey at noon."
After saying that, he actually lay down directly.
Layman Qingming just smiled slightly and didn't say much. Instead, he found a place to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.
The layman Qingming didn't have any objections, and the "Huo Ling Zhenren" and the blue water unicorn naturally didn't have any objections, and they both found a place to sit down.
After Li Xiuping lay down, he did not fall asleep directly, but was thinking about something.
If this secular dynasty's war is really related to the demons, then the entire human race will definitely be involved in the war, and we don't know how many people will die by then.
Small countries like Chi Qiu and Bai Chi can have such large-scale battles. As huge empires like the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty, once a war breaks out, its scale will inevitably be larger, and its impact will naturally be greater and involved. There will be more people.
As a result, it will become more difficult for humans to resist the attack of the demons. Now it is so difficult with the obstacles of the rules of heaven and earth. If there is no obstacle of the rules of heaven and earth in the future, and the demons attack with all their strength, how can human monks resist? .
Judging from the current situation, the strongest among the human monks are only the Second Immortal, but there are four known powerful immortals on the demon side. According to Li Xiuping's guess, there should be one in the four cities in the southeast and northwest. Led by the Demon Lord of Immortal Realm, in addition, there seems to be a more powerful Demon God.
Li Xiuping has personally experienced how powerful the Demon Lord in the Immortal Realm is. Even if he has completed the fusion, when faced with that kind of power, even if two immortal treasures are exploded, there is still no resistance at all. Humans Can only two immortal-level experts and three mountains and four cities really be able to withstand the attack of the demons?
The key is that the demons obviously want to get rid of him. He can still hide within the rules now, but if one day the rules of heaven and earth no longer exist in this world, where will he hide?
Nowadays, let alone helping humans fight against demons, self-protection is a problem for him. The only way to survive is to improve his strength. Only with strong enough strength can he have the ability to resist when facing powerful monsters. .
But that is the strength of the Immortal Realm after all. How can I reach that level?
It would be fine if he wasn't injured. Now, due to the battle with that demon king, his body was severely injured. It's not clear how long he can survive, and there are even more rumors.
What makes Li Xiuping feel most helpless is that in his current situation, not only can he not control the air or leave the ground, he can't even practice cultivation. He can't do anything about making swords or refining elixirs. He can't even rebuild the hatchet. Forging cannot be done.
But there is still thousands of miles to go, and we have no idea what kind of dangers we will encounter on the way. Even if the journey is calm, it will take a long time to walk through it step by step, and during this time, There was nothing he could do but hurry.
So although Li Xiuping looked relaxed, he was actually extremely anxious inside. It seemed that he had no other choice but to endure it. This was simply torture for Li Xiuping. Of course, this was not a test. A kind of practice...
After a while, Master Qingming suddenly opened his eyes, frowned and said, "Someone is coming."
In Li Xiuping's current situation, it was naturally impossible for him to feel the surrounding situation as easily as Master Qingming, so after hearing the reminder from Master Qingming, he opened his eyes and looked at Master Qingming.
The layman Qingming was looking to the east at this moment, with a heavy expression on his face. It seemed that the person who came had a high level of cultivation, otherwise he wouldn't be able to attract so much attention from the sword cultivator at the integration stage.
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown. Could it be that someone who practiced the secrets of the demons was really targeting him?
If this is the case, then the rest of the journey will probably not be easy. After all, there must be many monks who practice the secrets of the demons. In the north, there are existences like Huoling Zhenren, Star Observation Tower, and even many other powerful people. Then there are probably a lot of them in the south.
Originally, after he successfully fused, demonic cultivators below the Tribulation Stage could deal with it. Even after the demonic cultivators in the Fusion Stage were demonized, it would be difficult to pose a threat. But now, everything can only rely on the Qingming layman.
