Chapter 279
"You ask Brother Wang Songhe? He is still the city lord in Nanzhou." Zhang Kui said casually:
"Actually, this southwest state is where my eldest brother settled back then." Zhang Kui explained.
Forty years ago, Wang Songhe was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and an important minister of the imperial court during the reign of the late Emperor.
Forty years after resigning from office, what Wang Songhe was running was naturally not just a bandit village in Nanzhou.
According to Zhang Kui, after Wang Songhe resigned from office and left the imperial capital forty years ago, he came to the mountains of Southwest Prefecture.
If we really want to dig deeper, this southwest state is where Wang Songhe first turned into a bandit.
The bandits led by Wang Songhe were the local mountain people in Southwest Prefecture.
As for taking Zhang Kui and others to Yancheng, Nanzhou to find another way out, that was something that happened later.
"This southwest state is not a good place. It is full of mountains and there is not much land that can be used for farming, but the tax revenue of the imperial court will not be reduced because of this." Zhang Kui recalled:
"Actually, there are still some bandits from my eldest brother's old group hiding in the mountain den here in Southwest Prefecture."
"Now that Kyushu is in chaos, Nanzhou has lost contact with Southwest State, and King Yu has risen again, so I was sent to travel over mountains and rivers to see the situation in the old mountains."
Zhang Kui is a native of this southwestern state. He is familiar with the terrain and did not take the blocked official road. Instead, he climbed over the mountains and ridges, and then passed through many obstacles and arrived at the Peach Blossom Villa.
"Is King Yu the King Wu of Southwest State who carried the banner of rebellion? Who is he?" Qiao Mu became a little interested.
"I don't know." Zhang Kui said honestly:
"This man is an unparalleled warrior on the battlefield, with extraordinary martial arts skills. He is proficient in all eighteen martial arts, and has extraordinary power. There are few people on the battlefield who are his opponents, and no one can discern the strength of his martial arts skills."
"This man is mysterious and mysterious. He claims to be so beautiful that he always wears a mask to cover his face every time he goes to the battlefield. To this day, no one knows his true face."
What King Lanling...
Face mask? No one can see his martial arts skills?
Qiao Mu thought about it carefully and felt that the true identity of this Feather King should be unusual, so masks, martial arts, and weapons were all used to deliberately conceal his true identity.
It's just that this person is very skilled in martial arts, and no one is his opponent, and no one can force him to use his unique skills.
"Could it be something similar to King Qin?" Qiao Mu asked in his mind.
If the King of Qin in Zhongzhou is still alive, with his invulnerable golden body, he can directly withstand the rain of arrows from the Imperial Forest Army. He is really durable.
If placed on the battlefield of mortal warriors, King Qin would definitely be an unparalleled general with unparalleled courage and strength.
Of course, although King Qin was physically strong, he was devoted to cultivating immortals, and his mind actually had flaws. Compared with the top-notch martial arts warriors in the world, he was inferior in character.
Zhang Kui led Qiao Mu and others to the village: "Since General Hai is here, I will take you to the village quickly. The war has been chaotic recently, and I can't leave the village for too long. I have to go back." It’s a copycat.”
This Peach Blossom Villa is located to the north of Linhe Fucheng. It takes about ten miles to walk on a mountain road. The straight-line distance is not too far, but the mountain road is rugged and complicated for ordinary people and difficult to find.
Zhuangzi is quite big. It can accommodate thousands of people, not to mention three hundred old soldiers.
The old soldiers in Shicheng were not idle on weekdays. When they were still in Zhongzhou, many of them used the gold and silver pension money awarded by the imperial court to purchase land, food, etc.
The old soldiers came out of the isolated desert cities that were blocked. They were used to living a hard life. As soon as they had spare money on hand, they either bought fields or grain.
This time they were leaving Zhongzhou, and they were also thinking about that piece of land, so they asked Li Changshi to move the land with the soil to the stone city.
This stone city contains an immortal magic weapon refined by the Sword Banished Immortal, and it became a place for these veterans to farm.
Now, although there is not much land around Peach Blossom Villa for farming, they have no problem supporting themselves by relying on the previously stored grain and the fields in Stone City.
Zhang Kui briefly led Qiao Mu and others around, and then hurriedly wanted to leave, but he did not forget to remind him before leaving:
"Mr. Qiao, General Hai. Although this villa is in the mountains, you have to be careful at night."
"There are not only snakes, insects, rats, and ants in this Hundred Thousand Mountains, but also some small thieves, bandits, and criminals." The bandit Zhang Kui said.
Southwest Prefecture has many mountains and few people, so Hai Wuya regards this place as a place to stay, and so did Wangsong River in the past.
They are not the only smart people in this world.
"The murderer? Are you hiding from the gangsters of the Great Yan government in the mountains?" Hai Siyuan heard a little bit:
"I heard that many years ago, the 'Gun Sage' lived in seclusion in the Shiwan Mountains of Southwest Prefecture in his later years. Now the Demon Spear Qingli who ranks first in Tingchao Tower's power list is in this mountain. Raised by him."
Warriors often use force to break the law, and it is normal to carry multiple lives on their backs.
Most of the famous martial arts heroes in the world are actually criminals wanted by the court.
"Yes, that's right, I'm talking about the 'Gun Saint'." Zhang Kui nodded repeatedly.
"What are you talking about? Hasn't the Spear Saint died in the hands of the Martial Saint a long time ago?" Hai Siyuan shook his head.
"Although the 'Sword Saint' is dead, this matter did happen because of him." Zhang Kui said:
"It is said that recently, the essence of the spearmanship of the 'Sword Saint', the Hundred Birds Chasing the Phoenix Spear, has appeared, attracting many warriors to covet it, so more people from all walks of life gather here than before."
"My bandit brothers in the mountains are no match for these martial arts warriors. Can't I go back to the village early to take a look?"
Zhang Kui is also a good man with a spear, so he is naturally very fond of this former spear sage.
Forty years ago, the Spear Saint was second in the world only behind the Sword Exorcist.
But fifty years ago, the Spear Saint was the best in the world, but it was only the latecomers who came first. He was defeated by the Sword Immortal in his prime, and finally ranked second.
Speaking of the past events of the Spear Saint, Zhang Kui was also quite sad:
"It's rare to find someone who is the best in the world in the use of guns in Jiuzhou. Who would have thought that he would encounter the Sword Exiled Immortal and the Martial Saint one after another, and he would not be safe in the end."
Fifty years ago, he was the number one Spear Saint in the world. Forty years ago, he had already fallen below the Sword Exiled Immortal and became the second oldest.
Thirty years ago... he, like other martial arts masters, died at the hands of a martial saint who had mastered the "Martial Holy Spirit Rhinoceros Technique".
It's quite a bit like how to be bright when you are born in a beautiful world.
However, Qiao Mu felt doubtful when he heard this and asked:
"Since that Demonic Spear Qingli is also a disciple of the Spear Saint, he is also known as the number one in the martial arts rankings."
"The title of No. 1 on the strength list may not be as good as the No. 2 Spear Saint in the world, but he can still be regarded as one of the most cutting-edge giants in martial arts. He is more than enough to inherit the mantle of the Spear Saint. Then the marksmanship of "Hundred Birds Chaotic Phoenix Spear" What’s going on with being fought over in this world?”
"Didn't that Qing Li get the "Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear"?"
"That's not true. But Qing Li is a half-demon after all. Although he has practiced the Spear Saint's marksmanship, he may not be able to truly teach it." Zhang Kui shook his head.
Half-demon often inherits the powerful physical body of the demon clan, but because of this, the physical structure and internal meridians of the pure-blood human race are somewhat different.
Therefore, even half-demon whose appearance is no different from human beings often find it difficult to develop their inner strength using the techniques of pure-blooded human beings.
The Spear Saint is a pure-blooded human race, so the "Hundred Birds Chaotic Phoenix Spear" he created is naturally based on the use of internal energy.
Although the half-demon is physically powerful, he has no inner strength and only has brute strength. After all, he can only practice moves and moves, and the essence of them is hard to come by.
For example, Qiao Mu's "Ripples Overlapping Waves" plays with the inner energy like waves overlapping each other.
Demons and half-demon don't even have internal strength. No matter how strong their strength is, they naturally can't use it.
""Hundred Birds Chaotic Phoenix Spear"?" Qiao Mu felt a little moved in his heart.
In fact, he practiced spear before practicing sword.
He has no shortage of time. Ordinary people practice martial arts and bite off more than they can chew, but the more he does, the better.
Since it is the "Hundred Birds Chasing the Phoenix Spear" of the former spear sage, it must be as valuable to Qiao Mu as other martial arts skills such as "The Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon".
Although he had thoughts in his mind, he didn't take it too seriously.
He still knew the difference between priority and priority. Naturally, he and these three hundred soldiers arrived at Peach Blossom Villa with a purpose.
The humanity in Hai Wuya's heart is not a single tree holding up the sky.
Although the single tree of the arbor has been tempered into steel, it can survive hundreds of years of long dreams.
But what if this length of time is magnified to thousands or tens of thousands of years as the chain breaks in the future?
If the dream is the college entrance examination cycle, the reality can be regarded as summer vacation. Summer vacation is indispensable. After all, life is easy to break.
If he doesn't take a moment, he might be crushed by the hydraulic press one day.
In Qiao Mu's view, these three hundred white-headed soldiers were the fuel of the "Human Tao Jing".
Hai Wuya is dead, but Humanity still has him.
If he can't stand it anymore... Qiao Mu hopes that there will be others who will come after him.
"And today there is chaos, time is tight, and we need to preach even more." Qiao Mu said in a deep voice:
"Not waiting for tomorrow, starting today, I will lecture on the Humanity Sutra in this villa."
The words came out.
Zhang Kui, who had just walked out of the gate of the villa, stopped for a moment and turned around stiffly.
Although he has never heard of the "Human Dao Jing", Qiao Jin, the elder of the Qiao family, is a peerless master of martial arts that can be counted in the entire Kyushu.
If it weren't for the fact that there were so few deeds in Qiao Jin's life, like something that popped out of a crack in a stone, he would have been sung by the storytellers in Tingchao Tower and become a royal myth comparable to the founding emperor of Dayan.
It is a perfect opportunity for such a peerless master to explain martial arts in this mountain.
He couldn't walk for a while.
"Mr. Qiao is so righteous." Zhang Kui decisively flattered him and said:
"Brother Qiaoson and I were friends on the battlefield together. I just regretted that I was not strong enough to be his helper. Now there is an opportunity in front of me---"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to hear it, just stay." Qiao Mu interrupted.
The more practitioners of the Book of Humanity, the better, not to mention that he does have some friendship with Zhang Kui.
"Mr. Qiao is really open-minded." Zhang Kui praised:
"The gang of charlatans are still fighting for a trumped-up "Hundred Birds Chaotic Phoenix Spear", while Mr. Qiao has already publicly explained the "Human Dao Jing" without any sectarian opinions."
This time he was not flattering, but he was actually somewhat impressed.
He was a bandit, and he felt a little embarrassed at the moment, so he thought for a while and took out a secret book from his pocket:
"Although I, Zhang Kui, am a bandit, I also know how to repay kindness in return."
"This "Sumishan King Sutra" is an astonishing miraculous skill. It is also because of this martial arts that I am able to break through martial arts..." Zhang Kui was halfway through his words when he saw that the eyes of Hai Siyuan and others were getting complicated. .
Forget about borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha, why don’t you offer the "Sutra of Mount Sumeru King" to the Qiao family?
"It seems that Wu Jihui is very efficient in doing things, and the "Sutra of King of Mount Sumeru" is really widely spread." Qiao Mu said thoughtfully.
This is also a good thing.
Although the two martial arts are not the same thing, from the Sumeru Mountain King Sutra, one can seamlessly transfer to the Humanity Sutra like Qiao Mu.
The former is the cornerstone of the latter, and the latter is the expansion of the former.
If the Sumeru Mountain King Sutra has spread throughout the nine states, then Qiao Mu’s Humanity Sutra will not be a rootless duckweed.
"Today, we will process the meat of this monster beast first, and then we will give the lecture tonight." Qiao Mu took out the corpses of two flying tigers from the storage bag.
Monster meat is a great supplement to a martial artist, so he did not waste the two flying tigers. Now that he has arrived at the villa, he also wants to taste the monster beast.
It's just that the corner of the bandit Zhang Kui's eyes twitched... This old man of the Qiao family, did he get into trouble with the Immortal Sect as soon as he entered Southwest Prefecture?
Chapter 283 The Great Cat Power (4k
"Qi and blood are the foundation of martial arts!"
In Peach Blossom Villa, Qiao Mu said so while holding a roasted bone-in meat stick in one hand.
The two flying tigers were huge, about three to four meters long, and weighed more than a thousand kilograms in total. At this moment, they had become roasted meat on the fire, surrounded by the old soldiers.
"To increase qi and blood, naturally you can't do without food. The more meat, herbs and elixirs, the better."
In the past, the three hundred veterans were trapped in a desert with few resources, but now they are in the mountains.
Southwest states do not have much arable land for farming, but they are home to all kinds of animals, insects and fish.
The Immortal Sect Yunxiao Sect that occupies this place focuses on the art of controlling beasts, and this is why it naturally came here.
"From now on, you can practice martial arts in the villa and hunt wild beasts and monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Firstly, you can train your troops, and secondly, you can increase your energy and blood, and promote the breakthrough of the "Human Dao Jing"..."
Although there are many flying tigers at both ends, there are three hundred warriors in this villa in Qiao Mu, which is simply not enough.
Although I didn’t get a lot of meat, I still had a sip of soup, which had the benefit of nourishing my vitality.
Even the two beast slaves at the previous checkpoint got a share of the pie.
