If you have a treasure at home and someone else comes to your door and asks you to take it away, no one will agree to it.
Not to mention, the Pure Blood Spirit Snake is the foundation of the Guo family's wealth for generations, and is the guarantee that the family can produce first-class masters from generation to generation. Without this, the Guo family would instantly fall from a first-class martial arts family to an ordinary martial arts family.
It's even more impossible to hand over something like a lifeblood.
But who is Li Xiong?
They are heroes who dare to rise up in rebellion. If you say you don’t want to be with me, will they not want you?
So on the day the Guo family refused, Li Xiong led tens of thousands of troops to surround and suppress this martial arts family.
In the end, hundreds of members of the Guo family, including the head of the family, a first-rate master, were all killed in the fighting.
All the Guo family's wealth, including the green-blooded snake, family inherited martial arts, acres of land, family home, money and food, etc., were all looted.
In the end, in such a large family, only the traveling children like Guo Yunshan escaped by chance because they were not at home.
But even if they were lucky enough to escape, Li Xiong didn't let them go.
Just like just now, the killers sent by the Shu thieves had found traces of Guo Yunshan and planned an assassination.
Could it be that Zhou Qing and Guo Yunshan were traveling together, and the two of them worked together to deal with these killers. I am afraid that the young master of the Guo family will lose his life here.
"Even if I don't go back, that thief Li Xiong won't let me go."
When Guo Yunshan talked about Li Xiong, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He can send people to assassinate me today. If this fails, more people will be sent out tomorrow. If I can hide for a day, can I hide for a lifetime?"
Zhou Qing, who also had a family feud, had some sympathy for Guo Yunshan's experience, but he still advised: "Li Thief is rebellious and dares to arrogantly proclaim himself emperor. The court will not tolerate him.
Even if it can be rampant for a while, how can a mere county resist the world?
I thought that in less than two years, the imperial court would send troops to attack him. When the heavenly soldiers arrived, this antagonism would be destroyed in an instant. "
Because his master and his master's friends were all officials of the imperial court, Zhou Qing, unlike ordinary warriors, had a somewhat favorable impression of the Dai Viet imperial court.
Therefore, he is different from those quack people who like quacks and quacks. When it comes to dealing with Li Xiong, Zhou Qing prefers to wait for the imperial army to conquer him.
This attitude surprised Guo Yunshan, but he did not waver because of it, but said firmly: "Li Xiong killed my entire clan and took away my hundreds of years of inheritance. This hatred and hatred are irreconcilable.
Moreover, even if the imperial court wanted to conquer him and destroy this thief, it would be two or three years later at the earliest.
It's been so long and I can't wait that long. "
Guo Shaoxia opened a pair of bloody eyes and said with a ferocious expression: "Thief Li was cruel and massacred all the wealthy people in Xichuan. Those who were destroyed by him did not block the Guo family. And those like me scattered all over the place, It's definitely not just one person.
I plan to return to Xichuan, contact people with lofty ideals, and call on everyone to unite to resist Li Thief.
If we unite with our heroes, we will surely destroy this gang. "
Zhou Qing was speechless when he heard this.
Hatred has filled the heart of this young hero Guo, leaving him unable to tolerate anything else except revenge.
This situation made Zhou Qing couldn't help but wonder, if he had not met his master that day, would he have been like Guo Yunshan, blinded by hatred, and ultimately not knowing where to go.
"It has been more than two years since I left Master. I wonder how he is doing now?" '
Zhou Qing thought of his master, and his heart suddenly felt nostalgic.
In order to pursue a faster breakthrough, he chose to bid farewell to his master and go out to explore the world.
But in the past two years, although I have experienced a lot of things and seen the dangers and grandeur of the world, there is still no trace of what I originally wanted.
To this day, not to mention some common rare elixirs, not to mention the divine blood mutants, have not heard a word about them.
'In terms of cultivation, I have mastered the third meridian in the past two years. I have made some progress, but I am still only third-rate. ’ Zhou Qing laughed at himself.
The great ambitions at the beginning brought about this result. He couldn't help but think about what he would be like when he went back to see his master.
'No, maybe I don't even dare to go back. If you haven't made a name for yourself, how can you have the nerve to meet the master? '
Zhou Qing felt confused and didn't know where to go.
But at this moment, Guo Yunshan next to him looked at him and said sincerely: "Brother Zhou, I know you have been looking for a divine blood variant that can improve your skills. To be honest, my Guo family has this thing."
As he said this, Guo Yunshan was afraid that Zhou Qing would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "It's not the green-blooded spiritual snake that was snatched away by Li Xiong as you thought. In fact, as a thousand-year-old family, how can our Guo family only have the same clan and land?" Wherever you live.
The rivers and lakes are impermanent, and there are endless grievances and grievances.
Even if we are a member of a thousand-year-old family, we cannot guarantee that we will be safe from generation to generation.
Therefore, the ancestors had already had the foresight to build many safe places in various places in Xichuan as a way for the disciples to escape and hide.
In some of these safe places, elixirs refined from the blood of the blood-clearing snakes have been stored in advance.
If Brother Zhou is willing to help me return to Xichuan, then I can make the decision and share some of these elixirs with you. I wish you a breakthrough in cultivation.
I dare not say more, but there is no problem with Brother Baozhou’s second-rate achievements.
How about it, Brother Zhou, are you willing to give me a try for this wealth? "
Guo Yunshan raised his head and stared at Zhou Qing closely, waiting for the other party's reply.
In fact, if possible, he would not share the elixir with others.
But the problem is.
Guo Yunshan has just entered the third stream for the first time and has mastered the realm of two meridians. With such strength, he can barely move around in the world.
The lofty words and blood feud mentioned earlier were just lip service.
Guo Yunshan knew in his heart that with his own strength, if he really wanted to return to Xichuan, he would really be going to die.
But the family feud has not been avenged, and the clan is still waiting for him to revive, so how can he die so easily?
Therefore, after much thought, at this moment, the only option was to find someone who was trustworthy and equally capable to escort him back to Xichuan.
Looking around at this moment, only Zhou Qing meets this requirement.
First of all, the other party seems to be interested in the imperial court and has no good impression of Li Xiong's traitor. Secondly, after getting along with each other for several months, Zhou Qing's character and character have also gained Guo Yunshan's trust.
In the end, both of them are third-rate cultivation, but one is slightly stronger and the other is slightly worse, but essentially there is not much difference.
And this strength.
Guo Yunshan is confident that after obtaining the family treasure, he can quickly smooth things over.
By then, there is no need to worry that Zhou Qing is plotting against him.
Moreover, things like the divine blood elixir have always been the inheritance foundation of all major first-rate forces and have never been spread to outsiders.
Judging from Brother Zhou's martial arts foundation, it is only a second-rate inheritance.
With this kind of background, they probably heard information about divine blood mutants from somewhere, but they have never been exposed to reality. At that time, I can take some weakening elixirs and let the other party take care of it.
Anyway, even the weakened divine blood elixir is still a miracle elixir for ordinary people in the world, so there is no need to worry about arousing suspicion.
To sum up, with all the guarantees, Guo Yunshan naturally hopes that Zhou Qing will return to Xichuan with him.
"Sacred blood elixir?"
Upon hearing Guo Yunshan's invitation, Zhou Qing's eyes instantly condensed. The original melancholy disappeared in an instant, and his heart became hot.
Unlike Guo Yunshan's country bumpkin's guess, he had actually taken the divine blood elixir.
That was a magical elixir that could break through a meridian with just one pill.
If Guo Yunshan's family treasure really has such a magical elixir, and he is willing to give him a few.
No, even three are enough.
There is no problem in breaking through the second-rate realm by oneself.
And if he could use the magic pill to break through the meridians, even just three of them, it would save him at least twelve years.
This will undoubtedly be a great help to Zhou Qing's revenge plan.
Thinking of this, he stared at Guo Yunshan and said seriously: "Can you really give me the divine blood elixir? You don't have to trick me. I have taken the divine blood elixir and know that one pill of this magical medicine can help people break through." A meridian.
So I ask you again, is what you just said true? "
Guo Yunshan was a little frightened by Zhou Qing's stare, especially after hearing Zhou Qing's words, his heart skipped a beat, knowing that he had underestimated this brother Zhou.
But the deep hatred was right in front of him, and he couldn't care much about it.
Although Guo Yunshan doesn't know how many divine blood elixirs he has collected in his family, he should have no problem helping people break through to the first-class realm.
'In the worst case, I'll divide some elixirs and give them to Brother Zhou. Otherwise, I would not be able to return to Xichuan, and those elixirs would only rot in the family treasure house.
Rather than doing this, it is better to take it out and use it.
Even if the two of them are separated in the end and no one can break through to the first-rate level, having second-rate strength is still better than being third-rate now. '
Guo Yunshan thought of this in his mind and without any hesitation, he put his three fingers together and swore to the sky: "I can swear here in the name of the ancestors of the Guo family that this time Brother Zhou will help me return to Xichuan and open the treasure.
Then I will give you the divine blood elixir to help Brother Zhou break through to the second level.
If I disobey this, I will be struck by thunder and crack, and I will not die a good death. The Zhou family also lost its children and grandchildren, and its incense disappeared. "
This is quite a poisonous oath.
After making this statement, even people who don't believe in ghosts and gods will feel a little hesitant in their hearts when considering whether to violate it.
Therefore, after Zhou Qing heard this, he felt relieved and couldn't help but nodded and said: "Okay. Since you said so, I will help you when you return to Xichuan this time."
But even though he said this, he didn't fully believe Guo Yunshan.
After two years of wandering in the world, Zhou Qing has seen a lot of sinister people, and even experienced betrayal himself.
In the end, if it wasn't for my strength and a little bit of luck, I might not be where I am today.
So he had already made up his mind.
After sending Guo Yunshan back to Xichuan, he must leave some backup in the area.
For example, leave a letter stating the reason, and then find someone to make an appointment at a time. When he didn't return by then, he sent it directly to his master.
'With Master's first-class strength, after receiving the letter, even if Guo Yunshan got the family treasure, took the elixir, and greatly increased his strength, he would never be Master's opponent. '
Zhou Qing still believed in the stability of his master.
I am confident that a rookie like Guo Yunshan, even if he breaks through to the top level, will never be a match for an old fox like Master.
'And it finally got to this point, the divine blood elixir and the Zhou family treasure, these two things can be regarded as the last gifts given to the master by the disciple. '
Zhou Qing knew clearly that by the time the master was about to come, he would have already encountered something unexpected.
Master was a great kindness, but he failed to fulfill his filial piety.
This is all I can do to show my filial piety.
The morning fog gradually disperses, and the golden sun shines.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The two people, who had their own concerns, rested for a while on the boat. After feeling that their internal strength had recovered, they immediately set off towards Xichuan County.
The future of this trip is unknown, but they are all full of expectations.
…
Lu Yuan didn't know that his good disciple was preparing to do something big, and he was prepared to die and was even prepared to leave a big gift for himself.
At this moment, he was having a headache due to the busy military training affairs.
With one stroke of his pen, Cui Changqing, the prefect, recruited 14,000 local warriors in the government.
But such a large-scale recruitment can be said to have summoned almost all men of suitable age. The quality of the soldiers that can be obtained in the end can be imagined.
It is not an easy task to teach these farmers who do not know a word of Chinese characters and who may even be working on the fields one step ahead to understand the front, back, left, and right, and how to use spears and daggers.
Why did Lu Yuan recruit mountain hunters before?
The reason why they are coveted is not because the mountain people are accustomed to using swords and arrows on weekdays. It does not take much effort to recruit them. They only need to be trained in discipline to form good combat effectiveness.
But those farmers usually use farm tools. They can dig the soil with hoes, but it is difficult for them to stab people with spears.
Let’s not talk about whether the performance is standard or not. Just overcoming the psychological obstacle is quite difficult.
Lu Yuan only trained a group of militiamen for a few days, and then he was defeated and left.
This is not to say that these people are stupid. In fact, even if they are illiterate, the wisdom of the people at the bottom is still admirable.
He had lived in Yangmei Town for a long time, and had a lot of contacts with the ordinary villagers around him, so he had no discrimination against the people at the bottom.
But being wise and having courage and discipline are completely different things.
Those mountain hunters, who usually work with wild animals, naturally have no shortage of courage to fight for their lives. Sometimes they will join forces to hunt together, and they cooperate with each other, so they naturally understand the importance of discipline.
Therefore, when they were trained in military formations and taught martial arts, the mountain hunters accepted it quickly and learned quickly.
But ordinary farmers only need to be able to farm and work. Other disciplines of martial arts...
Why are you learning this?
Have you learned how to ask the gentlemen to collect taxes?
Once, Lu Yuandu taught a peasant how to stab a scarecrow with a spear.
But even so, the farmer's hand holding the spear was still shaking. Facing the scarecrow, which is a dead thing, it still feels a little scary to eat.
It was as if what he was piercing was not some kind of scarecrow, but some kind of psychological limitation.
Not everyone has the guts to kill, or even have the guts to commit murder.
Lu Yuan didn't know what to say about this situation.
Perhaps if you want to change their mentality, you really can only find someone to kill them and let them break through this psychological restriction, so that they can change.
But after experiencing murder, it is difficult to say whether the person released is a good soldier or a demon.
After all, there are always a lot of lunatics in the world who are driven crazy because of murder.
However, this situation made Lu Yuan even more convinced that if he wanted to train an elite army, relying on these ordinary farmers would be of little use.
Whether it is physical or psychological quality, their foundation is too poor and they are not qualified soldiers at all.
If he really wants to recruit troops in the future, he will have to find those mountain hunters. These people will be easy to use.
With a thousand elites trained by mountain people at his disposal, he was confident that he could directly defeat a miscellaneous army of 10,000 farmers.
This is the gap.
After the military training became boring, Lu Yuan simply stopped intervening.
Just leave the matter of military training to your subordinates.
Anyway, those people are experts, and they also want to experience the feeling of commanding thousands of troops, and they are happy to be in the limelight.
As for Lu Yuan, he just needs to take good care of the elite Qianfu soldiers.
As long as these elite soldiers are in hand, those country warriors will not be able to cause any trouble, and there is no need to worry about getting lost.
However, this failed military training dissipated Lu Yuan's fear of hundreds of thousands of troops from the imperial court and other countries.
If those hundreds of thousands of troops were all farmers like this, then even if there were an army of tens of thousands, let alone a thousand, I, Lu, would dare to walk there.
It's not that he is arrogant, it's just that these farmers' army is too vulnerable.
"I heard that the Emperor of Western Shu, Li Xiong, claimed to have an army of one hundred thousand, and he was very majestic. But I estimate that among the one hundred thousand people, it would be good to have ten thousand who are as elite as our soldiers.
According to this estimate, the imperial court only needs to dispatch two innate masters to annihilate Xichuan. "
Lu Yuan, who had finished his military training and went home to continue practicing in seclusion, couldn't help but think like this sometimes.
According to the calculation, an innate master can defeat an elite army of 10,000 people.
Western Shu only has one innate master, Li Xiong, and ten thousand elites. Indeed, it only takes two innate masters to destroy the country.
certainly.
This kind of thinking is just an optimistic thought.
In actual practice, it is never that simple.
Not to mention the innate master of the imperial court, who needs to suppress all parts of the world and cannot easily move.
As for Xishu itself, if there were a real fight, it would be far beyond what two innate masters could resolve.
Otherwise, if things were really that simple, the imperial court would have taken the risk long ago, gathered the innate masters, and carried out beheading tactics.
"In the final analysis, this is still a world of martial arts. The power of martial arts still has its limits, and it is impossible for one person to truly suppress an entire life." Lu Yuan sighed helplessly.
He took out the jade piece from his arms and realized that it had been more than ten years since he had this fairy fate.
But even now, it can only be used to temper one's inner strength, although even if one has only discovered this ability, it has already helped him a lot.
But the feeling of guarding the treasure mountain empty but not being able to use it is really not a good feeling.
