Huang Ting

The Xiongnu wolf guards retreated dejectedly, but Hu Xiuwu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them. He really provoked these people to fight to the death, and Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo also suffered losses.

Hu Xiuwu said with emotion: "There are still smart people among the Xiongnu who know how to support their troops and respect themselves. It would be really troublesome if they were all rough guys fighting against us."

He waved his hand in the air, and the three corpse needles swaying in the air like fishes flew back to his hand obediently.

Putting the three corpse needles back into the needle bag, Hu Xiuwu turned his head and said to Chen Duo behind him:

"It's really thanks to you being here this time. If it weren't for the unreasonable penetrating power and toxicity of Pill Eater, I really wouldn't have any means to break through the Huns cavalry formation and the condensed war beast."

The two were riding on horses. Chen Duo put his arms around Hu Xiuwu's waist and shook his head and did not take this matter to heart.

"It's nothing, I just want to help you."

Looking at the retreating backs of the Huns cavalry, Hu Xiuwu said solemnly: "The Huns still have such methods, no wonder they can contend with the big Han for so long."

You know, he had heard from his master that Zhuge Liang's Zhuge Liannu was as powerful as the Katyusha.

After a few sighs, Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo rode back to the caravan's defensive position. Gao Gu led the caravan to greet them.

Gao Ji looked at Hu Xiuwu with admiration, and other people in the caravan who were originally very wary of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo were still quite wary of them, but when they looked at Hu Xiuwu and the others, their expressions still revealed a certain

Respect, that is respect for strength.

Gao Gu stepped forward and personally held the reins for Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo.

Hu Xiuwu jumped off the horse, put Zhegui back into the scabbard and said, "I don't dare to let the elders hold the horse."

"There, it's just a little thing."

Gao Gu praised him and gave Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo thumbs up:

"Sir, you are indeed a distinguished guest of the mission. You can actually compete with such a powerful cavalry. These two are indeed young talents, which is admirable."

Gao Lu and other people in the caravan echoed and complimented Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo.

Gao Ji on the side was dancing excitedly, as if he was the one who came on stage just now:

"Shugo, you are so powerful! You can fight off monsters like that and defeat the remaining cavalry, just like an immortal."

"Can I become your teacher?"

The originally lively scene suddenly fell silent because of these words, and the expressions of the other older members of the Gao family changed.

Realizing that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, Gao Ji knew that he had said the wrong thing in his excitement, so he reluctantly smiled at Hu Xiuwu and said:

"I was too excited and said nonsense, Xiuwu, don't take it to heart."

Gao Gu came over and squeezed Gao Ji's shoulder to comfort him, and changed the subject: "Now that the crisis has been resolved, don't stand here anymore. It's very cold in the desert at night, so why don't you go and put up the tents again."

"The people on guard duty aren't going to keep an eye on it tonight."

"Here!"

Gao Gu issued the order, and Gao Ji felt a little lonely and was taken away by Gao Yue to sort out supplies and goods.

There are also some people who go to clean the battlefield. This cavalry is the elite of the Xiongnu. The equipment they carry are also sophisticated military equipment obtained from the Han Dynasty. They are also a big fortune for the Gao family.

Gao Gu said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Xiuwu, Aji is too young. Young people worship power and lost their sense of proportion for a moment."

“It’s okay,”

Hu Xiuwu gently revealed the matter, looking at Gao Gu's apologetic face, his heart felt like a mirror.

Gao Gu was deep in thought, Hu Xiuwu couldn't see anything, but Gao Yue and Gao Lu next to him were different.

Suddenly hearing Gao Ji talk about cultivation, the first reaction on their faces was not yearning, but more reluctance and helplessness, as if they already knew the outcome.

It seems that the people of the Zakrama tribe have tried it a long time ago. In the Han Dynasty, the Zakrama tribe was not like Hu Xiuwu's era. Shirley Yang was the only one left, relying only on the Western Regions business line.

, they have gained a lot of money.

That's right, with sufficient resources as a backing, how could Gao Gu or his ancestors not have thought of asking for help from those soft-hearted strangers with a reputation for compassion?

I am afraid that the Zakrama clan has already received the bad news from the aliens. Hu Xiuwu could imagine that after checking the curse on the Zakrama clan, the Central Plains strangers shook their heads and were helpless.

But that was a curse related to the snake god. Even with the help of technology, the bunker in later generations solved the problem of Shirley Yang after obtaining the Muchen Bead and using the power of the snake god to deal with itself.

After searching for experts, there was no result. It is estimated that they also had the idea of ​​​​becoming a stranger to support themselves.

You must know that the Han Dynasty was no better than modern times, and family status was still very important.

At this time, the masters of hundreds of schools of thought chose their disciples based on their background. Even the original Shangqing only recruited children from aristocratic families. It is true that the number of descendants of foreigners who have the seeds of cultivation is higher.

Even the disciples from poor families rarely succeed in becoming a disciple, let alone Gao Ji, who is a foreigner.

And the first step to becoming a stranger is to sense the innate energy in the body, but it is difficult for ordinary people to sense the innate energy, not to mention that the Zakrama tribe has been losing Yang energy since birth.

The innate Qi is weak, and it is even more difficult to feel the innate Qi.

If you can't even get started with the most basic basics, how could there be any aliens who would accept people from the Zakrama clan as their disciples?

After the curse was lifted, Shirley Yang also thought about becoming a strange person. It happened that the researchers of the bunker also wanted to study whether there was anything abnormal about Shirley Yang after using the Muchen Bead to become a normal person.

They really helped Shirley Yang find Lao Liang, the qigong master who was teaching Chen Duo in the bunker at that time. Lao Liang agreed happily. Anyway, if you are chasing one sheep, you are chasing two sheep.

Lao Liang taught Shirley Yang for a month,

It's a pity that no matter how hard Shirley Yang tried in the past half month, she couldn't feel the innate energy in her body.

In various sects, the minimum requirement for testing disciples is to be able to feel the innate energy within half a month, but Shirley Yang tried for a month but failed.

Finally, the bunker came to a conclusion:

Even if the curse is lifted with the Muchen Bead, the Zakrama tribe will only become ordinary people. If you want to become an alien, it still depends on your personal understanding.

Hu Xiuwu led Chen Duo to sit in front of the bonfire, while Gao Yue hugged Gao Ji and ran out of the light of the fire. He and Gao Ji murmured without knowing what they were talking about, but Gao Ji's expression under the moonlight looked very...

Shocked, seemingly unbelievable.

It seems that Gao Yue told Gao Ji the truth, which seemed to be a big blow. When he was preparing to set off the next day, Gao Ji still looked absent-minded and lonely after his fantasy was broken by an adult.

When I was young, I always fantasized about whether it was better to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University. It seemed difficult to make a choice. When I grew up and was devastated by the six majors, I realized that life is not just these two choices.

There are also a large number of undergraduate and junior college courses for you to choose from.

Hu Xiuwu did not comfort him. When he comforted Gao Ji, he always had a condescending sense of pity, which would make people disgusted. He had made this mistake when he was on the mountain.

If you have never experienced other people's suffering and don't feel the same way, don't pity others outright, they may not need it.

After repelling the Huns cavalry, in order to prevent anyone from coming to entangle them again, Gao Gu ordered to shorten the rest time and set off before dawn, speeding up the march and condensing the seven-day journey into five days.

Five days later, the scene in front of them changed from the originally desolate and vast Gobi Desert to a large oasis with fertile fields and abundant water.

There are square fields near the oasis, with rice and millet planted in them, and a city is located in the center of the oasis.

This city relies on the Tianshan Mountains and is built next to the mountains. It is like a gem dotted on an oasis, dazzling.

They came to the first stop in the Western Region, which was the country that occupied the main transportation route in the Western Region.

Kucha.

After a month of long travel and another attack by the Huns, everyone was already exhausted. After seeing the city where tens of thousands of people gathered again, they all seemed very excited. Even Gao Ji, who had always been depressed, showed his face.

Smile, it looks like I finally figured it out.

It can be seen that Gao Gu is very familiar with this place. He can even talk to the guards at the city gate in the local language of Qiuci proficiently. If he hadn't been wearing the fancy clothes of the Han Dynasty, it would have been impossible to tell that he came from it.

He is a local who has lived here for a long time.

Moreover, the soldiers in Kucha were very polite and respectful to Gao Gu, as if they had seen Shangguan, and let them in without checking the goods of the Gao family's caravan.

After entering the city, Gao Gucai smiled and explained to Hu Xiuwu:

"This is Yancheng, the capital of Qiuci. You can go to Jingjue to the south, Qiemo to the southeast, Mumi to the southwest, Wusun to the north, and Gumo to the west. No matter where you want to go, you must pass here.
