Qinjian Villa Weapon Book: List of Spiritual Weapons

Holder: Hou Yuxiao, the Thousand-faced Jade Man

…………

After all, Guangling Fucheng belongs to the boundary of Xuzhou. April is the time of early spring. The warm sun is shining and the climate is quite pleasant. It is said that Hou Yuxiao should be in a good mood, but he is in the demon sect's army camp outside Fucheng. At this moment, he is looking at the table.

There were three lists, but his expression was particularly heavy.

Hou Yuduan, who had sent the list, looked a little solemn at this moment. After seeing Hou Yuxiao finish browsing the list, he said softly: "The three lists of demons are all compiled by Fengyun Pavilion of Jin Dynasty. Apparently, the eldest brother and the second brother have been in Hedong recently.

Da Jin was offended so hard here that some people probably couldn't stand it anymore;

The Great Demon Slayer List was compiled by White Deer Academy. Previously, Ding Dian was ranked 432nd. My eldest brother and I teamed up to kill him. Coupled with the record of killing Ding Buhai, it is not an exaggeration to rank 392nd;

As for the list of spiritual weapons, the weapon list was compiled by Qinjian Villa. How did they know that the blue dragon stick in the eldest brother's hand was a spiritual weapon? There is only one possibility, that is, there are their people in Hedong, who should be hiding in the Demon Sect or Da

In the Jin army, it is very likely that the strength and status are not low, otherwise it would not be so easy to see!"

Hou Yuxiao frowned, and Hou Yuduan's guess was basically correct.

He didn't take the hostility between Dajin and White Deer Academy to heart. For both of them, his strength was too low.

Just as Hou Yuduan guessed, he and Hou Yucheng had offended many generals of the Jin Dynasty in Hedong during this period. Whenever someone gossiped in Fengyun Pavilion and maliciously raised his ranking to attract attention, it would also

It's not impossible.

White Deer Academy ranks itself at 392nd on the Great Demon Slayer Ranking, which is generally based on Ding Dian's strength, so the problem is not a big one.

Only at Qinjian Villa, it was difficult for Hou Yuxiao not to pay attention.

"Lao Wu, do you think you will..."

"Brother is overly concerned. For Zhao Ponu, the number one descendant of the Holy Land, it is difficult for him to detect the current strength of the Hou family or the cultivation of you and me. He is currently leading an army to attack Zhongzhou Dongyuan.

Dao, conspired with the Jin Dynasty to destroy Dayu, not to mention our Hou family, we are just a small quarrel here in Hedong. They don't like us and won't notice us. I guess this ranking is just a coincidence.

!”

After hearing these words, Hou Yuxiao finally felt a lot safer.

In the past six months, with more and more battles with military masters from Dajin and the Demon Sect, his understanding of the word "Holy Land" has become deeper and deeper.

Yes, he had almost no defeats against Grandmaster-level warriors, but you must know that those masters are just the tip of the iceberg in the Holy Land. The two hundred thousand Brahma Sect Pure World Army is just a casualty to the Rakshasa Holy Cult.

Transferred from Yongdu General Altar

A small number of large armies, such as the Wolf Tuwei and the Hu Benwei, were only the third-rate troops under the Great Jin Holy Dynasty. These cornerstones of the Holy Land were enough for him, the head of the Hou family, to be on guard. If the Hou family was really cared about by the Holy Land,

Yes, that would really be a disaster.

Zhao Ponu is different from Tian Fazheng and Gu Chenfeng before him. He is the legitimate son of the Zhao family, the owner of Qinjian Villa, and his status is equal to Sikong Yue. If the Hou family really makes him feel threatened, he should not

It's just as simple as placing him on the list of spiritual weapons. With the strength of Qinjian Villa, just sending a few people now is enough to wipe out the entire Hou family!

Although he had accepted Hou Yuduan's statement in his heart, Hou Yuxiao's eyes flashed with deep reluctance when he thought that the current Hou family was still a small figure that could be eliminated by Qinjian Villa.

"I am almost at the top of the three lists, and it has brought a lot of trouble to the clan, right?" Hou Yuxiao adjusted his mood slightly, raised his head and asked.

Hou Yuduan shook his head and said helplessly: "Not only is it troublesome, since the latest list was released in February, Wanyang County has become more and more lively day by day. Some of the core heirs of prefecture-level and even heaven-level powers want to come and challenge Big Brother.

, together with the third sister and me, and

The fourth brother was also named. I had no choice but to hide and hide. I really couldn't hide. In order to save trouble and give others face, I deliberately exposed a flaw and then gave in. Those who wanted fame didn't care if they saw it. Those who wanted to fight

He still wants to continue fighting, which makes me very annoyed."

Anyone who walks around in the world doesn't want to ask for a name. Hou Yuduan said it easily, but Hou Yuxiao could roughly guess the situation. Fortunately, Lao Wu was calm enough and could handle these things with ease. If he was like Lao Er, pushing everyone towards him

, it is estimated that he will not be able to take any time off in the next two months.

"It's not all bad, right? There should be some good too!"

After hearing this, Hou Yuduan nodded, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Of course there are. Big brother has been on three lists in a row, and I, the Hou family, have also become famous this time. The war between the two states is currently going on. Many smart people have already smelled the signs of chaos in the world, and many people have come here.

Yangjun has joined the Hou family. Although there are currently no masters at the Grand Master level, there are many warriors at the Gangqi level, and there are many Kaishen level warriors.

When the eldest and second brothers left Wanyang County last year, there were less than 40,000 warriors in the clan. In just half a year, the total number of warriors in the clan has reached nearly 80,000, among which there are even more warriors who have attained the fifth level or above.

Accounting for half of it, according to the four counties of Hexi Prefecture planned by the eldest brother, the total number of warriors from all the incoming forces is not as many as mine, the Hou family.

I didn't know why so many people came before, but later I learned that most of these casual cultivators came from the four prefectures of Xingnan, Jianye, Pingjin, and Zhaotong of Zhongyuan Dao in Xiayuan Dao, so I probably figured it out!

"

When Hou Yuxiao heard this, he understood immediately and said: "This time Zhan Taiqing went to Hedong, and almost all the government troops mobilized came from these four cities. It seems that the second son and I made a little conspicuous noise here in Hedong. It should be these

People leaked the news and added three lists, which attracted so many people."

Speaking of the situation in the clan, Hou Yuduan swept away the previous solemnity on his face and said with a somewhat excited expression: "The number of warriors in the clan is increasing almost every day. In addition to what the elder brother said, there is another more important reason.

The Battle of Hedong is still going on, and the news that the Holy Dynasty of Dayu was besieged from two sides has spread. In December last year, the Moyan Holy Sect suddenly deployed millions of troops in the northern border of Liangzhou, and the spearhead was clearly pointed towards the north. In Fenzhou, the Jin Dynasty was not to be outdone. Fenling Emperor He Lianba personally led an army to sit at the southern foot of Fenzhou, facing tit-for-tat with the Moyan Holy Sect, and a fight might break out at any time.

There is also news that the leader of the Qingzhou Haoran Holy Sect, the Four Jue Old Man Ruan Xiangtian, the leader of the Wanjian Saint Sect, the Yunkong Sword Saint Su Jinghan, the leader of the Ziqing Holy Sect, and the Divine Talisman Taoist Shen Daoling have appeared in Dayu one after another. Shendu seems to be intending to prevent Dajin and Qinjian Villa from continuing to attack Zhongzhou and solve Dayu's problem.

All kinds of news indicate that the world will soon...not be peaceful!"

An unstable world is a disaster for ordinary people, and it is also a disaster for casual warriors. But what is different from ordinary people is that warriors can also rely on their martial arts to join an elite family. It is said that he will be able to survive alone in the chaos, and at least there will be an extra layer of protection. At this time, the Hou family, who has become famous in Hexi, is obviously a good choice.

"It's not just us, many forces must be recruiting troops recently!"

Hou Yuxiao's eyes flashed slightly. He had heard the news that Hou Yuduan said from Zhang Zhenwei before. Any powerful leader with some brains should have smelled something abnormal.

Hou Yuduan nodded and said seriously: "It is indeed true, but it is a little different from what the elder brother expected. Last year, the third sister placed many spies from the Hou family in Fucheng and the surrounding counties and cities. According to the news they sent back, The Xiongyun Gang in Fucheng, the Shen clan in Jinling County, the Shayin Sect in Yinling County, Yuzhao, Jiuxun, Yunxiang and other major second-rate forces are indeed recruiting troops, but they are doing it secretly and extremely covertly. It took our people a lot of effort to detect it through the slightest clues, because these forces did not dare to make a big show of it, so the results were not obvious. The number of warriors recruited by each family recently is far less than that of my Hou family."

Hou Yuxiao looked slightly stunned, with a trace of confusion on his brows, but soon an idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately raised his head and said, "Are they afraid of the Rakshasa Holy Cult?"

Hou Yuduan nodded and said: "This should be the only possibility. After all, Yongzhou is still the territory of the Rakshasa Holy Cult. These forces are recruiting troops and buying horses. In the final analysis, they are taking money from the Holy Cult. Once caught, it is a serious crime that is tantamount to conspiracy. , at this juncture, the Holy Cult can completely make a fuss out of a molehill and be as powerful as the Xiongyun Gang, but they don’t dare to take too many risks.

Compared with them, I, the Hou family, are lucky. Now the three counties in Hexi are still considered war zones, and the Hedong side is in a stalemate stage. Most people will only pay attention to the war trends in Hedong side, and have no time to pay attention to the Hou family. In addition to the fact that my eldest brother has become very famous during this period, I ordered the clan to keep a low profile as much as possible. Not many outsiders know about our recruitment of a large number of warriors."

Eighty thousand people, more than 40,000 warriors at the fifth level. After some calculations in his mind, Hou Yuxiao asked directly: "How many people are at the tenth level or above?"

"There are only more than four thousand, among which there are 212 Gang Qi realm warriors!"

Hou Yuxiao immediately shook his head when he heard this, but then he thought about it. Compared with when he left Wanyang County at the end of last year, the cultivation level of the warriors in the clan was much better.

If he remembered correctly, last year, there were only more than 500 warriors above the tenth level, and less than 100 warriors in the Gang Qi realm. Now the former has increased eight times, and the latter has doubled. In just half a year, this progress has been extremely great.

Horrible.

It depends on who you compare with!

After staying here in Hedong for half a year, I got used to seeing a hundred thousand wolves slaughtering guards and a hundred thousand tiger guards, the two hundred thousand Brahma Sect Pure World Army of the Jin Dynasty, the one hundred thousand Qingyang Army of White Deer Academy, and the ten thousand soldiers of Leiyin Temple.

Ten Thousand Earth Evil Monk Soldiers, Ten Thousand Sword Saint Sect’s 200,000 golden-armored army.

Compared with these forces, the strength of the clan did make him a little frustrated.

"Lao Wu, have you ever heard of the Code of the Holy Army?"

Hou Yuxiao asked with a somewhat gloomy expression. He had already seen with his own eyes the Brahma Garuda Holy Military Code practiced by the Brahma Sect Pure World Army, and the Zen Light Illuminating Military Code practiced by the Disha Monk Soldiers of Leiyin Temple. This was enough to make the army more advanced.

In order to compare with the mighty and powerful method, it would be a lie to say that he is not greedy.

Hou's current high-end military force is too lacking. Even though he is ranked third in the list and looks arrogant, in the final analysis, he is currently fighting alone, at most the level of a heaven-level grandmaster. There is no army around him.

Even dealing with a Yuandan realm master was difficult for him. In a short period of time, if his cultivation level could not be improved, he could only think of other ways.

This military code is undoubtedly a channel through which the Hou family can gain powerful power.

Hou Yuduan had never been to Hedong, so he must have never seen the Military Code. Hou Yuxiao asked this just because he wanted to continue to explain clearly to him, but Hou Yuduan's reaction greatly surprised him.

"I've heard that the reason why the ten holy places in the world are formed is because of the ten holy military codes of the Dayu Dynasty. The military codes are divided into two levels: holy and celestial. If you want to become a great power at the celestial level, there is one standard.

I want a code of the Heavenly Army!"

Hou Yuxiao looked stunned and looked at Hou Yuduan with a hint of confusion.

"Brother, there are so many classics, and I just happened to read one before!"

………………

"By the way, the book I read before happened to record a code of the Heavenly Army called Red Flame Raging Waves. I came here this time to show it to you."

………………

Hou Yuxiao watched Hou Yuduan take out a brand new book from his arms. After opening it, he saw the newly transcribed exercises on it, which were obviously from his handwriting. He was stunned for half a minute, and finally looked up at Hou Yuduan.

No words were spoken.

In what book can one read a code of the Heavenly Army?

Lao Wu, you are treating your elder brother like a fool!

Hou Yuxiao didn't believe that someone as smart as Lao Wu could not see the inquiry in his eyes, but after waiting for a long time, Hou Yuduan did not give an explanation. After thinking for a long time, he decided to respect Lao Wu and did not break the casserole and ask the truth.

I just thought that I had many things, but I never explained to them. There were some things about Lao Wu that I didn’t want myself to know. It was normal. He was the eldest brother, but he had no right to know everything.

As long as the five brothers and sisters are of the same mind, that's enough!

"Brother, aren't you able to advance your skills to a higher level? Do you also have a way to promote this Heavenly Army's Code to.........the Holy King's Code?"

This was probably the tacit understanding between brothers. Hou Yuxiao didn't say anything, but his eyes burst out with a strong light, which was regarded as an answer to Hou Yuduan, and then he slowly reviewed the contents of the Heavenly Army Codex in his hand, and

It slowly crosses into the divine lotus of good and evil in the sea of ​​consciousness.

He is Hou's biggest advantage. The moment he saw the Brahma Sect Pure World Army and the Disha Monk Soldier demonstrating the Military Code, Hou Yuxiao had already had this idea in his mind.

In the past six months, he has secretly captured many monks and soldiers from Leiyin Temple and even soldiers from the Brahma Sect Pure World Army on the battlefield, hoping to obtain the military code. Unfortunately, these soldiers practice the military code and are only taught and run by the upper levels.

They didn't know the trajectory, detailed content and detailed explanation of the technique, and Hou Yuxiao found nothing.

He was wondering how to get a copy of the Codex of the Heavenly Army, but Hou Yuduan immediately sent him a copy...

The Hou family is only a third-rate force, but they already have the Code of Saints?

Hou Yuxiao looked at the contents of the Holy Army Code that gradually emerged in his mind as he spent a huge amount of good deeds, and an unreal feeling flashed across his face.

But his eyes were full of heat...
