Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 246: Long Yellow Sand

…

"Jingle Bell…!"

The crisp and melodious sound of camel bells seems particularly distant in the vast world.

The camel's wide feet stepped forward slowly on the soft yellow sand.

Zhao Laosi looked numbly at the sand dunes ahead, as if they would never end.

He shook his head and shook the clothes on his chest. After being soaked with sweat, it was sticky and sticky on his body, which was really uncomfortable.

He took the kettle off the camel and took a sip of water to moisten his chapped lips. Although I was very thirsty, I still had to walk a long way to the next water source.

Water, drink sparingly.

At this time, a young Taoist riding a tall horse, wearing a green robe, with a green gourd hanging around his waist, and his eyes slightly closed came into view.

This man was found by Shopkeeper Zhao when they came out of Jincheng.

It is said that it can catch ghosts and subjugate demons.

Although I don’t know whether it is true or not, this Taoist priest does have some abilities along the way.

Apart from occasionally drinking water, I never saw him eat. Even the horse he was riding did not eat, drink, or buck.

It's really strange.

As if aware of his prying eyes, the Taoist opened his eyes and looked.

Zhao Laosi's heart trembled and he quickly turned his head.

Although this man's eyes were gentle, there was a strange pressure that made people dare not look directly at him.

Xu Junming shook his head slightly.

These days, he has seen too many curious looks like this.

When he left Heiming Valley, he did not fly directly to West Kunlun. Instead, he walked all the way through Shaanxi and Gansu provinces and reached the desert.

Not only did I get to know the local customs, but it was also an experience for myself.

Some strange things happened in the middle.

For example, in Shaanxi Province, he did not see the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

Originally, he planned to borrow a bronze mirror to see what secrets were hidden in this famous tomb, but his hope failed.

Just when he was immersed in his own thoughts, the camel team suddenly made a noise.

He frowned and looked into the distance.

Along with the sky full of yellow sand, hundreds of horse bandits on horseback with guns rushed straight towards the camel caravan.

These camel traders walking on the Silk Road naturally had guns, but due to lack of training, they were obviously overthinking the horse bandits who hid themselves behind the horses' necks, had superb riding skills, and were very fast.

"Papa…!"

The sound of gunshots like fried beans soon rang out.

Fortunately, the horse bandits' marksmanship was also poor.

Although the fight between the two sides was lively, no one lost their lives except for a few unlucky ones who were injured.

When the distance between the two sides shortened to fifty meters, the horse bandit pulled out the saber from his waist.

At close range, of course, a knife without a bolt is more useful.

Just when these horse bandits had wild eyes and screamed strangely as they were about to harvest their prey, green bamboo sticks all over the sky suddenly hit them.

The bamboo stick was as fast as lightning, and before they could react, they were all knocked to the ground, including people and horses.

Then the bamboo stick, like a snake, tied up all the horse bandits.

In the blink of an eye, the threat was gone.

The camel traders who were preparing to fight were stunned.

"we won!!"

Most people cheered.

After they calmed down a little, they began to think, who did it?

The bamboo sticks all over the sky are obviously not ordinary means.

Zhao Sihai saw the young Taoist sitting safely on the horse and quickly ran over with a few servants.

"Thank you, Daochang Xu, for your generous action. Zhao is very grateful."

"After getting to know each other, even a poor Taoist can't ignore death."

After a pause.

"How did you deal with the horse bandits when you caught them in the past?"

"killed!"

"Kill them all?" Xu Junming frowned.

"The Taoist Priest doesn't know that these horse bandits are called Black Skeletons. Any business travelers who are targeted will be silenced at every turn, and their methods are extremely cruel. If we can kill them all, it will be a great harm to the trade route."

Xu Junming nodded and took a look with the bronze mirror. Sure enough, everyone was full of resentment and no one was innocent.

"Huh?"

He stretched out his hand and a stream of black light flew from the chest of the horse bandit who was obviously the leader.

It fell into his hand and turned into a small black flag.

"Juyin Banner? It seems there are practitioners behind these horse bandits!"

After thinking for a moment, I temporarily put the Juyin Flag into the gourd around my waist.

"Since these horse bandits are so heinous, let them be dealt with as you wish."

"Thank you, Taoist Master."

Zhao Sihai was overjoyed. He was really afraid that this Taoist was like those guys from Buddhism, who were compassionate regardless of good or evil, and would never turn back.

The monks were merciful, but they would still be the unlucky ones in the future.

"Fortunately, Taoist Xu is not as pedantic as those monks." Zhao Sihai thought to himself.

When he was in Jincheng, he saw that Taoist Xu had taught a few ruffians a lesson and had some skills, so he came forward to invite him.

Along the way, I didn't encounter anything unusual. I thought I had thirty taels of silver in vain, but I didn't expect that this time the other party would save me from life and death.

"Thirty taels of silver is well spent."

"Come here, kill all these horse bandits for me."

Camel traders and horse bandits are mortal enemies, so they will certainly not show mercy.

Soon there were hundreds of corpses, stained with blood and yellow sand, dead on the spot.

With a move of his hand, the bamboo stick returned to Xu Junming's hand, carrying the ghosts of all the horse bandits.

Slap the gourd on your waist and collect all the souls in a dream. If you save more in the future, you can send them to reincarnation.

In a short time, Zhao Sihai packed up the battlefield, packed up the belongings obtained from the horse bandits, as well as the firearms and horses, and happily set out on the road.

Night soon fell, and the camel team temporarily settled in an ancient city that was mostly buried in yellow sand.

"Daozhang Xu, these are the properties collected from those horse bandits. Please accept them."

Looking at the gold and silver in the box in front of him, Xu Junming was not polite. If he took the money from the gourd, he would have the capital to do some good deeds in the future.

Zhao Sihai waved his hand, and the servant who came with him quickly placed a small box in front of Xu Junming. After opening it, there was another neat silver coin.

"Daozhang Xu, the guns and horses of those horse bandits are also yours. However, if you can trust them, I will be willing to buy them at the market price. This will save you the trouble of running errands yourself."

"Jun Zhao is very thoughtful."

"Haha, Taoist Master saved his life. Zhao should repay him one or two times."

Looking at the thousands of taels of silver in the box, although Xu Junming was not sure about the prices of the horses and firearms, the money was about the same.

Smile lightly.

"I'll accept the money, but layman Zhao can handle the guns and horses by himself."

"Thank you, Taoist Master."

Zhao Sihai was overjoyed.

With his connections, he can still make a lot of money by selling these things.

"Any thing else?"

"We will reach Qiemo City in two days. One hundred and twenty miles southeast of Qiemo City is the Gegarol Peak you are looking for."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Then you can rest and I'll take my leave."

Xu Junming nodded.

He came here to find the whereabouts of his master Li Changdao, and Gegarol Peak was the starting point.

After watching Zhao Sihai leave, his magic power surged, the back of his head flashed with red light, and countless fire auras were drawn in.

The strongest thing in the desert is the fire aura, so naturally we need to take advantage of the favorable location to practice more.

"My lord."

Ren Wuji’s soul transmitted the message.

"What's up?"

"Ren Weiyong failed to overcome the tribulation."

"How is it possible? The Golden Core Tribulation Thunder can also break through your Yin and Yang Great Mill?" Xu Junming said in disbelief.

"The power of the tribulation thunder has increased."

"promote?"

"Five thunderbolts will kill him directly."

Xu Junming was shocked.

"Impossible. There have always been only three tribulation thunders in the Golden Core. How could there be five tribulation thunders?"

"I don't know either. The tribulation thunder followed one after another, and I felt that I would not stop until I killed him."

Xu Junming frowned and muttered to himself.

"Why is this happening?"

Ren Weiyong and Vivian are both his divine protector generals. There is no reason why the latter can survive so easily, while the former will be hacked to death.

He urged Yi Gua to calculate, and after a moment he raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Heaven forbids it?!"

"My Lord, I think the remaining Dharma Protector Generals should not go through the tribulation until the reason is figured out."

"The reason is already known. I was negligent before."

"What?"

"The Heavenly Tribulation is a test for monks, and the Weapon Tribulation is a test for magic weapons. No one can interfere. As Ren Weiyong, as the protector general, he can only survive the Heavenly Tribulation by himself. We use the Yin-Yang Great Mill to help him. It’s interference, and God won’t allow it.”

"Vivian, that foreign woman...?"

"She is lucky. She succeeded through my merit and protection. But other protector generals do not have such luck."

"I see."

Xu Junming sighed.

"Actually, I should have thought of it earlier. If the Heavenly Tribulation was so easy to pass, there would be no shortage of inherited spiritual weapons in all the major sects. With their protection, the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation would not be considered difficult, and it would not be difficult for each sect and sect to do so now. , there are very few golden elixirs.”

"Then what will happen to the remaining guardian gods?"

"Let them drive away the corpses, and we won't be able to survive the catastrophe. Anyway, with our current strength, it's not difficult to catch some golden elixir monks. Don't waste your time on them." Xu Junming said.

"You decide."

"How is Qin Zhong doing lately?"

"That stupid boy? He's still the same as before. He's not done until he tortures himself to death several times a day."

Xu Junming pondered for a moment.

"Ask him what magical weapon he likes?"

"What? Do you want to take him in?"

"He has this plan. His perseverance is rare. If he can maintain it, he will have great achievements in the future. However, since I said that I will not accept him until he reaches the golden elixir realm, I can't break my promise now."

"You just want to save face. ...Okay, let me ask for you."

"Um!"

"By the way, I. Have you walked to West Kunlun?"

"It will be there in two or three days."

"Tsk, tsk, it took one day to let you go for three months. It's really weird."

Xu Junming's face darkened.

"Ask the little blue bird to bring me the Thunder Drum!"

After that, he cut off the contact.

"Why is this bastard's mouth getting more and more vicious? He really doesn't have any of my style."

He shook his head, looked at the starry night sky, sighed slightly, and continued to practice his red fire divine light.
