There was a desert all around, not even a root of grass.
In fact, everyone in Dongchang would only think that Shao Qing just stumbled and fell.
Everyone is a talented Dongchang factory guard.
What does it matter if you fall off your horse?
What's more, the ground is full of yellow sand, so it won't hurt anyone...
Zhou Biao was not aware of the danger at all.
Until he was less than ten meters away from Shao Qing who fell to the ground.
Only then did I feel like something was wrong.
Unfortunately, it's too late!
His ankle was suddenly locked by something, and Zhou Biao instinctively wanted to lift his foot.
next moment.
But he felt a biting chill rush to his forehead from bottom to top.
Everything around him seemed to be changing very slowly in an instant.
Even my own thinking seems to have slowed down.
And, gradually going away...
Zhou Biao didn't even have time to think of warning his companions to be careful.
Poof!
Just like his good brother Shao Qing, he fell directly on the yellow sand.
White smoke is still rising from the body. If anyone sees it, they will definitely understand that it is white water vapor produced by extremely low temperatures...
Just because of the darkness, no one noticed.
"Zhou Biao? What's going on?"
Someone in the team finally discovered the problem.
Why did Zhou Biao seem to fall down after he walked over?
Don't wait for these Dongchang fans to continue their actions.
among the team.
A knight suddenly felt a little cold down there...
When I looked down, I was shocked to find something.
The war horse under his crotch, I don’t know when.
Has it been covered with a thin layer of frost?
Just when the factory guard was surprised, he felt a strong force coming from the horse under his crotch.
Then the world turned upside down and the stars turned upside down.
But the factory guard couldn't notice it anymore.
The body was unknowingly frozen into a lump of ice, and was hit hard again.
It broke into several pieces in the air and scattered among the crowd.
"careful……"
"Who is he? Pretending to be a ghost!"
In the team, Jia Ting, the stall owner, jumped up and jumped off his horse.
When his feet landed on the ground, a long sword had been drawn out in his hand, and he quickly looked around.
The remaining dozen people also acted slowly.
They all jumped off their horses and gathered around Eunuch Jia.
The desert was silent.
The frozen corpses exuded a strong smell of blood.
The war horse stepped uneasily on the sand, making a popping sound.
So far, three good players have been lost, but not even a shadow of the enemy has been found.
Jia Ting's face was extremely ugly.
"Jia Gong, I heard that mirages often appear in this desert, confusing business travelers.
"not……?"
"What is it? We in Dongchang are the emperor's guards. Which little devil with no eyes dares to cause trouble? Don't talk nonsense..."
Jia Ting sternly stopped his men from talking.
However, these factory guards are beating the drum in their hearts.
Dongchang is a group of eunuchs, who are they considered to be the emperor's guards?
It's just putting gold on one's own face.
To put it bluntly, eunuchs should be more accurately regarded as royal domestic slaves.
Moreover, the purpose of this action by myself and others was to release the two children of the Yang family and fish out Zhou Huaian and the Jianghu forces behind them.
It was the order of Cao Shaoqin, the factory official.
There is no will of the emperor in him at all.
Even though Dongchang seems to be so powerful, he even dares to secretly use the emperor's jade seal to pass on imperial edicts.
However, there was no personal teaching from the emperor.
The jade seal on the cover can fool those Confucian scholars who are stupid in reading.
Will it be effective against those ghosts and gods?
As soon as this idea came up.
Everyone was even more panicked.
Standing in a circle in the desert night.
Some people couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Originally, after testing it out, it was discovered that the skills of these eunuchs were not much different from Zhou Huaian's.
Luo Heng was ready to go all out.
Kill this team directly.
But after hearing the eunuch mention the mirage just now, he changed his mind.
Demon?
Ever since Luo Heng obtained magical powers, he had some vague speculations.
Since you can obtain magical skills from myths and legends.
Sooner or later you will encounter those legendary characters or creatures.
Back in the late Qing Dynasty, Luo Heng encountered a suspected strange incident in Nanchang City.
But Luo Heng had no time to care about him at that time.
Didn't delve into it.
Later, after arriving in the capital, the system map was refreshed and there was no time to return to Nanchang to investigate.
Unexpectedly, after these people only mentioned it a few words, they didn't talk more about this topic.
Luo Heng stopped grinding.
In the center of a crowd gathered together.
Suddenly a person screamed: "Ah..."
"underground!"
Jia Ting reacted the fastest. He held out the long sword in his hand, turned around and stabbed towards the ground.
Bang!
The sand on the ground suddenly exploded.
Luo Heng jumped up from the ground.
In fact, when performing the escape technique, sand will not be brought up.
This sputtering of sand and dust was naturally done intentionally by Luo Heng.
Everyone quickly raised their arms to protect their heads and faces.
That's the delay.
Luo Heng held the Qingming Sword in his hand, using his sword skills to cause bloodshed and fight in all directions.
Make a chop on each side.
Sent two factory guards back to the west.
At the same time, he had fallen into the crowd.
These eunuchs from Dongchang are really good at martial arts, and they all react very quickly.
The cooperation was extremely tacit, and they attacked Luo Heng almost simultaneously.
It’s just their swords or knives.
When it fell on Luo Heng, it was like being chopped down on hard dead wood.
Makes a thumping sound.
Luo Heng ran rampant, and within a moment there were corpses lying on the ground.
Only the white-haired Eunuch Jia with a feminine temperament was left, holding a sword with a look of shock on his face.
Luo Heng chuckled: "Are you Jia Ting, the stall owner of Dongchang?"
Jia Ting was shocked at this time.
"You...who are you?"
"That mirage you just talked about, what is it?"
Luo Heng directly asked the questions he was concerned about.
Jia Ting was startled.
He continued to ask: "Who are you? How dare you kill the factory guard of Dongchang?"
Luo Heng frowned.
He took a step forward and reached out to grab Jia Ting.
Jia Ting raised his sword to block.
Luo Heng shouted: "Humph!"
The humming formula was activated, and a white light shone in the night.
Shoot towards Jia Ting's door.
Jia Ting instinctively slashed with his sword, but the aura passed directly through the sword's edge.
Jia Ting froze.
Luo Heng arrived later and pinched Jia Ting's neck.
With a little force of his fingers, he was able to take down this person.
The Qingming Sword in his right hand stabbed out several swords like lightning, accurately cutting off the opponent's limbs and tendons.
The severe pain caused Jia Ting to wake up instantly.
But Luo Heng was holding his neck, so he couldn't make any sound at all.
I looked around and saw that there was no one left alive in this group of people from Dongchang.
Luo Heng then randomly picked a war horse.
Put Jia Tingda horizontally on the horse's back.
He picked a horse again and jumped on its back.
Two horses are walking side by side.
In the vast desert, the corpses of these Dongchang factory guards lay quietly in place.
The surrounding horses soon began to scatter because they were left unattended...
"If I want to find Cao Shaoqin's troops, which direction should I take?"
Luo Heng let the war horse take a walk, turned around and continued to ask questions.
"You can't even think of asking anything from our mouth..."
Jia Ting was stubborn and didn't reply to Luo Heng's questions at all.
Luo Heng chuckled: "You're a piece of shit, are you pretending to be tough with Taoist Master?
"Haha, it's okay if you don't want to say it. Master Dao has heard before that torture is also practiced in this desert.
“It’s like burying a person in the sand, leaving only his head exposed.
"Then cut the scalp on the top of the head, boil water and pour it in. When a person suffers from pain, his potential will explode and he will jump up from the ground.
"But those who jumped up were only flesh and blood and bones, but the human skin was still in the soil.
"I don't know if it's true or not. I just want to try it on an old guy like you..."
Jia Ting felt his scalp itchy and his crotch felt faintly wet.
Isn't this method too vicious?
But Luo Heng continued to say: "There is another way, which is to cut small non-lethal wounds on the person.
"Then apply honey and put it on the sand to dry.
"In this desert, there is a kind of fire ant. It likes the smell of blood mixed with honey. Soon it will crawl all over the body and be bitten by thousands of ants, which is the most sour taste.
"Well, by the way, the wine soaked in fire ants is a great tonic. You can try it too..."
Jia Ting's eyes were frightened.
What fire ants?
He had never heard of it, but seeing what Luo Heng said was so conclusive, it really didn't look like it was a lie.
"There is another kind of..."
Seeing Luo Heng still talking, Jia Ting finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"The Governor has led a large group of troops to Longmen Town.
"Come from the other direction and surround the road out of the border..."
Luo Heng frowned.
Outflank from Longmen Town?
Wouldn't that be in the same direction as Zhou Huaian, Jin Xiangyu and others were going?
Depend on!
The original plan was to let Zhou Huaian and others take their children and leave the customs directly.
Intercept Cao Shaoqin himself.
Unexpectedly, the guy actually took a detour to the front. Wouldn't it be dangerous if he bumped into a child?
Luo Heng flicked the horse's head.
He asked sharply: "You said Cao Shaoqin went to Longmen Town? Are you trying to trick the Taoist Master?"
Jia Ting has already confessed that he only asks this weird Taoist not to try those extremely vicious methods on himself.
No more reservations.
He replied honestly: "Eunuch Cao is leading a team of good cavalry and archers this time.
"A dragnet has been set up at the border, and I rushed to Longmen Pass two days ago.
"Order us to each bring factory guards to search along the three exit roads.
"As long as there are traces of Zhou Huaian and the two children of the Yang family, the messenger pigeon can be sent immediately..."
"Homing pigeon?"
Luo Heng immediately realized the key point in these words.
He frowned and asked, "Where is the carrier pigeon?"
Jia Ting was stunned for a moment, then replied: "I asked Lu Xiaochuan to take him with him, he should be on his horse..."
Luo Heng immediately turned the horse's head.
Go back again.
Fortunately, I didn't leave for long.
Although those war horses have begun to scatter.
But Luo Heng urged his horses and searched around.
Finally, on the back of a horse, I found the pigeon cage.
All this tossing made Luo Heng think of something again.
In the movie, these Dongchang fans carry Guan Xin with them.
And in this world.
When traveling around the world, traveling through cities and counties, and entering cities to stay in hotels, etc., you also need a road guide issued by the government.
The function is somewhat similar to the ID card of later generations.
Luo Heng simply looked around again, in the baggage on top of another war horse.
Found a stack of official letters and official seals from people in Dongchang.
Forcing Jia Ting, in the name of Dongchang, each of them opened a way to lead the identity of the secret agent.
In this way, it will be much more convenient to travel through the Central Plains in the future.
Due to Dongchang's reputation, everyone is afraid to avoid it.
Once this guide is laid out, which store dares to question it?
Now that we know that Cao Shaoqin is in Longmen Town.
There is no use in keeping this Jia Ting.
When asked from the other party, those remarks about monsters just now were just oral traditions among the people.
Jia Ting has not seen it with his own eyes.
Luo Heng directly struck the opponent with a sword.
He rode alone and chased in the direction of Zhou Huaian and others.
Take stock of the harvest along the way.
The team led by Jia Ting only had about twenty people in total.
Six large boxes actually came out.
Luo Heng was in a good mood and was not in a hurry, just driving one by one to pass the time.
A total of more than 70 skill points are not counted.
There are actually three origin points.
This was an unexpected big gain.
At present, Luo Heng already has three great magical powers.
Except for the small Five Elements Earth Escape Technique, it is entry-level.
The other Vajra Indestructible Body and Heng Ha two blowing techniques are all minor successes.
Based on previous experience.
It takes about twenty origin points to upgrade magical powers from entry level to minor level.
Luo Heng simply didn't rush to add more points.
Instead, these three origin points are reserved for later use.
In this world, a small dark shop's back chef has escape skills.
Maybe at some point, I will encounter other supernatural powers.
When the time comes, you will have the origin point to get started, right?
Zhou Huaian and his party took possession of the border army horses brought by Lord Qianhu.
Everyone is equipped with two horses and two saddles.
In addition, he was worried about the pursuit of soldiers from behind, so he ran very fast.
Luo Heng did not see their shadows until the next morning.
Fortunately, the wind was light at night.
The marks of horseshoes on the sand are quite obvious.
Luo Heng was not worried about losing him.
There is no place to rest in the desert.
Chase all the way.
We have left the desert in the morning.
From time to time, you can see Populus euphratica forests growing in various shapes, and various Gobi terrains with towering, weathered boulder peaks shaped like stalagmites.
Above the Gobi, the ground has begun to harden.
Horse hoof prints are no longer visible.
Moreover, this kind of ground is inherently pitted and filled with countless gravels. Even if there are some traces, it is extremely difficult to distinguish.
Luo Heng could only slow down and carefully identify the traces on the ground to prevent himself from following.
It's a sunny day.
The sun was blazing.
Luo Heng's cultivation was advanced and he didn't care about the heat.
There was not even a drop of sweat on the body.
But the war horse couldn't bear it.
The two horses walked with their tongues hanging out.
There was no water in Luo Heng's backpack.
I don’t know if War Horse can drink canned food?
I was a little worried and thought about whether to give it a try by feeding it.
Suddenly there was a faint sound of gold and iron clashing in the wind.
Luo Heng perked up.
I no longer thought about feeding canned food to the horse.
He simply abandoned the horse and left it to fend for itself.
He took off the pigeon cage on his horse, held it in his hand, and strode towards that direction.
He ran for about a mile.
Turning around a narrow canyon with rugged rocks.
My eyes suddenly opened up.
On the Gobi Desert with a plain view, there is a horse team of dozens of people.
He was waving his weapon and circling in place.
A weird scream came from his mouth.
"Oh oh oh oh……"
"Oh...oh..."
Luo Heng took a look and saw that those surrounded by the group of people were the war horses and camels blocking the perimeter.
Zhou Huaian and his party were on alert.
Looking at it like this, what they encountered was not Dongchang's pursuers.
But the robbers who blocked the road?
No one else has this kind of luck...
Moreover, the gold-inlaid Longmen Inn is a famous selling point among bandits in the nearby area.
Logically speaking, this place is not far from Longmen Inn.
Jin Xiangyu and the bandit should be familiar with each other, right?
Why are these people surrounding me?
Luo Heng wondered in his heart, his movements were not slow.
One jumped up and performed the Golden Goose Kung Fu.
The body jumped more than ten feet high and flew dozens of feet out of thin air.
After just two ups and downs, he was already at the edge of the crowd.
At this time, some among the bandits had already noticed an expert approaching.
"Where's your friend? Gaitianxiang of Longmen Town is doing some work, just for convenience..."
Among the crowd, the man who should be the leader of the bandits rode out of the battle circle and stopped in Luo Heng's direction.
He opened his mouth and announced his name.
Loud?
I haven't heard of it, either I haven't seen the movie, or I'm just a supporting actor.
I originally thought it would be another harvest.
It seems that the origin point is not something to think about.
Luo Heng was quite disappointed.
Without stopping at any speed, he rushed straight towards Gaitianxiang.
Gai Tianxiang thought he had reported his name.
Even if we can't reach an agreement, we should at least have something to talk about first, right?
I never thought that this Taoist master didn't take the rules of the world seriously at all.
Come up and do it without saying a word.
But the movements were surprisingly fast.
Before he could raise the scimitar in his hand to defend himself, his fist was already in front of him.
Bang!
Crisp and neat.
Gaitian fell off his horse with a loud thud and threw himself on the ground...
Luo Heng kept moving, his feet a little on the horse's back.
People have rushed into the group of thieves.
"It's uncle Taoist priest..."
Among the nervous people surrounded in the middle, Yang Yuying shouted happily.
Zhou Huaian turned his head and looked at Qiu Moyan.
They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Xiangyu and others also relaxed instantly.
I left the Longmen Inn last night and headed west to get out of the customs as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the desert, he was targeted by a group of bandits.
Originally, relying on his familiarity with the gold-plated jade face, he could still bluff people with his name as the border army's Qianhu adults.
The group was quite polite at first.
But something happened.
Among this group of bandits with a huge reputation, the second master led a group of brothers to Longmen Inn to sell goods a few days ago.
The boss heard that the manager of Longmen Inn had arrived.
You are welcome to come and make friends.
It turned out that almost all of Jin Xiangyu's people had minor or serious injuries.
Another man and two horses carried a lot of things.
Bandits make a living by robbing, and they have very poisonous eyes.
A quick glance revealed that this group of people were preparing to change docks with their families and businesses after the merger.
So he asked, where is the brother who went to Longmen Inn now?
Jin Xiangyu heard this.
Unexpectedly, during this period of time, the bandit went to Longmen Inn and failed to come back.
But wasn’t it just that Uncle Luo just looked at him and silenced him?
I also want to make up some lies to fool you.
How can Gai Tianxiang be trusted?
All the waiters at Longmen Inn were present, so there’s no need to mention it.
The owner of the Dragon Gate Inn of Desert Flower made it clear that he wanted to run away and change docks.
The two sides got into a fight and roared to summon all the brothers to surround the group.
If it weren't for some wrangling.
If you want to start working right away, you can rely on Zhou Huaian, Jin Xiangyu and other disabled people.
It had been captured by the bandits long ago and could not wait for Luo Heng to come to rescue him.
Dealing with a bunch of bandits was not a problem for Luo Heng.
Use the hum and ha blow techniques.
Solved neatly.
Dozens of bandits who committed murder and swindled goods in less than half a stick of incense.
They were all sent back to the west by Luo Heng.
Take a look at the harvest.
Sure enough, apart from skill points, there were no origin points at all.
He glanced at the corpses on the ground with some disdain.
Damn it, you don’t even have an origin point, and you still go out to rob?
You deserve to be the dead souls of Master Dao.
"Uncle Taoist priest..."
I saw the bandits being wiped out.
Yang Yuying led her younger brother Yang Jinbao to come forward and shouted happily.
Luo Heng's lips smiled unconsciously.
"Uncle Taoist, how did you know we were in danger?"
No matter how smart a child is.
Still innocent after all.
He opened his mouth and asked curiously.
Luo Heng smiled casually and said: "I am a Taoist priest, so I can naturally do calculations. I will calculate with my fingers in the morning. You two little guys will be in trouble on the way, so you came here..."
Zhou Huaian, Qiu Moyan, Jin Xiangyu, He Qiang and others also walked out of the defensive circle surrounded by animals at this time.
Upon hearing this.
Everyone was shocked.
There is some admiration in the eyes...
Zhou Huai'an thought to himself that he didn't know where he was taught by this Taoist.
Before, I saw that his magic skills were magical and endless.
They are still able to figure things out. Could it be that they are the rumored masters who jumped out of the mortal world and lived in seclusion to practice Qi and cultivate immortality? (End of chapter)
