Shen Hao, with the idea of "revenge" for his friends, stopped Hongsi and Jinxiu who wanted to run away.
"Don't go, I'll row with you two times, one punch and one cup, come on!"
"Ah? Master, we, if we can't draw it well, then..."
"Hurry, hurry up!"
After a while of burning incense, Hongsi and Jinxiu skipped away and burped. They drank a lot of sour soup. Although it was delicious, they still felt a little bloated after drinking too much. But they will go to the kitchen later. Just move it twice and it will go away.
Shen Hao and Nie Yun were left alone to watch the two bastards jump away.
"Are you good? Isn't this the drinking order you taught me? Why do you cook like this?" Nie Yun chewed two fennel beans while being very dissatisfied with Shen Hao's defeat in nine out of ten punches. This is not as good as him.
"I was careless!"
Shen Hao didn't take it seriously when he saw Nie Yun being suppressed and shouting. It was his turn to realize that those two little brats were punching so hard. Is this considered a talent? A pair of future Dionysians?
Both of them wanted to save face. They couldn't win over two little girls by cheating, but drinking was the next best thing. With their drinking capacity, they could not afford to lose. But I felt aggrieved.
"I won't spar with those two little fox girls from now on. They're a big trap."
"Yeah, don't row with them!"
The two looked at each other and quickly reached a tacit understanding. They raised their glasses while chewing fennel beans.
"Why do you come to my place when you have time?" After chatting for a while, Shen Hao asked Nie Yun why he came. Really speaking, it hadn't been that long since I last parted with Nie Yun, just over two months. Are all the monks in the sect so idle?
"Are you free? I went into seclusion when I got back. If I hadn't been called out by someone, I would have had to go into seclusion until the second half of the year before I would be free."
"Oh? Are you looking for me if you need something?"
"Yeah. Two things. The first thing is that I have no more wine to drink." Nie Yun chuckled, picked up the magic weapon gourd at his waist, raised it, opened the stopper and poured it out. It was empty.
Shen Hao was speechless: "You really treat my place as a wine cellar and just take it, right? Okay, I'll pack some for you when you leave. I can brew up to five jars a year, no more."
"Hey, five jars are enough. Give me dozens more jars of ordinary Wuliangye. I've asked Lao Hu. There are plenty of ordinary Wuliangye in your cellar."
What else can Shen Hao say? Can only nod. You are called "Lao Hu Lao Hu", how can you still hide things in the wine cellar from you, Mr. Nie?
"What else?"
"You are in Xuanqing Guard, you should have heard the news from the south, right?"
"south?"
"Barbarians."
Shen Hao raised his brows slightly, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Brother Nie, why do you suddenly ask about this? I'm afraid this has nothing to do with your sect, right?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter? It's a big deal. The sect established a sect in the Jingjiu Dynasty and recruited disciples. The sect was full of people from the Jingjiu dynasty. There were many children from high-ranking sects as well as poor people. It can be said that every sect actually has Fundamentally, it is inseparable from the Jingjiu Dynasty. Not to mention that various resources of the sect are actually obtained from this area, how can we stay out of everything?"
"Brother Nie's words are quite pertinent. But forgive me for being ignorant, I really don't know what role your sect has played." Shen Hao got himself a glass of wine. He was not talking in vain. He had looked up Xuanqingwei There are many documents about the sect, but it has never been recorded what role the sect played in the various wars to appease the old dynasty.
Nie Yun sneered, shook his head and said: "What you see is what others let you see. Do you really think that the sect can do nothing with so many cultivation resources? Doesn't the emotions of the disciples in the sect not need to be taken care of? Jingjiu Ignore Chao's emotions? If you really do this, no sect will be able to stay open for long."
There was something in Nie Yun's words that made Shen Hao interested. He poured a full glass of wine for the other party, as if he was willing to hear the details.
"In your opinion, what's the comparison in strength between the barbarians and the Jingjiu Dynasty?" Nie Yun asked Shen Hao with a smile while holding up his filled wine glass.
"Comparison? Judging from the current situation in my hands, whether it is war potential or demonstrated strength, the Jingjiu Dynasty is in a crushing advantage. The barbarians have been damaged for many years, and even if they have recovered this year, they will definitely be destroyed again. Ended with failure."
However, Shen Hao did not reveal the hidden danger in the border army. He wanted to hear what Nie Yun had to say first.
"In that case, are all the barbarians stupid? Isn't it extremely foolish to rise like this?"
"The situation is fascinating. Not everyone can endure the hardships day after day. Once they have a little bit of strength, they will eagerly want to change the status quo. It's hard to say whether this is considered stupid."
Nie Yun was noncommittal: "Then have you ever thought about the vast territory of the barbarians? Although it is not as vast as the Jingjiu Dynasty, it is still 30 to 40 percent wider. Since there are many sects in Jingjiu, and the barbarian territory is not a truly barbaric place, isn't it possible? There are also sects?”
"What does Brother Nie mean?"
"As I said before, the sects in the Jingjiu area cannot stay out of everything, and the same is true for the sects in the barbarian areas. Even because of repression, they will be more urgent than ordinary barbarians.
In fact, the war between humans and barbarians has never been limited to the flesh and blood mills outside Zhuohuo Pass. There are many others that are not visible to ordinary people and were deliberately hidden by the Jing Dynasty. Therefore, the world will think that the sect ignores everything, but this is not the case. "
"Are the barbarian clans strong?" Shen Hao agreed with Nie Yun's statement, and after thinking about it carefully, he could indeed fill in some unreasonable gaps. It even opened up a lot of ideas for Shen Hao.
Are the barbarian clans more anxious? In this way, the Red-Eyed Wolf Clan is anxiously trying to take advantage of the opportunity to erect a royal court. Maybe there is also the reason of the barbarian clan inducing it.
"It's very strong. To be precise, it's very weird."
"Weird?"
"Yeah. The number of monks in the barbarians is different from ours. The difference mainly lies in the magic. Most of our magic here is based on the Five Elements, and some are derived from the Five Elements, plus soul magic and talismans. Use other methods. The barbarians are good at refining poison, refining corpses, and exercising."
Shen Hao had heard of poison refining, but not corpse refining. This reminded him of the bouncing corpses in movies from another world.
"Poison refining can be roughly divided into poisonous insects and poisonous mist. It is extremely concealed and extremely lethal. A powerful barbarian monk can even make a monk like me who has perfected the Yuan Dan Realm become poisonous and die instantly.
Refining corpses is more complicated. Generally speaking, they can be divided into five types of evil corpses: "gold, silver, copper, iron, and stone" from high to low. Corresponding to the five stages of "normal", "qi refining", "gathering spirit", "yuandan" and "xuanhai" respectively. Of course, there are high and low subdivisions.
As for body training, it is what we call horizontal training here, focusing on the physical body, but the achievements of the barbarians' innate advantages are even more impressive.
Forty years ago, these barbarian sects were defeated together with the barbarians and fled away from the mountain gate. Now the barbarian clan is about to rise, and they are also secretly preparing for their attack.
Therefore, the situation in the Southern Barbarians also made all the sects nervous.
And I came to see you this time because I want your help to analyze and see when it would be appropriate for our Guishan Seminary to intervene. "
