Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain

Chapter 187 The armored beast transforms into a demon to attack the enemy and weaken it

 The next journey.

 Everyone is like an old farmer facing the loess, rising up in the morning and only stopping at sunset.

When night falls, they will either sleep directly in the mountains and forests, or find a nearby village or ancient city by the water where they can rest and replenish their supplies.

 Hurry up so quickly.

 On the fourth day.

 The group finally arrived at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou.

This area of ​​high mountains, dangerous cliffs, deep gorges and dense forests has been isolated from the world since ancient times. Often there are not even a few households in the mountains and forests for dozens of miles.

Even if there are, most of them are Miao, Yi, Bai and Zhuang ethnic groups living together.

 There are very few Han people.

The control of this area in all dynasties was extremely weak, and they could only build the chieftain's mansion and implement the system of chieftain acting on behalf of the chieftain and native officials ruling the native people.

 Arrived here, it means that they have entered the territory of southeastern Guizhou.

So many years have passed now.

 Many people have already glimpsed a hint of troubled times.

 Since I was in Phoenix Valley a few days ago, I accidentally touched the inscription on the ghost whip, and it entered my mind one by one.

The man nodded and didn't waste any more time. He turned around and galloped along the river again.

Moreover, there were old and new grudges among the chieftains in various places, and wars broke out frequently, causing constant wars.

 There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, coming from far to near.

 Has unparalleled control over justice, finance, administration and military affairs.

As a traveler, Chen Yulou knows better than anyone else that there are actually undercurrents surging under the seemingly calm water.

 Hear this.

 Once in power, the chieftain became the emperor in the true sense.

The person who came was a man in his thirties, tall and thin with sharp eyes. He pulled the reins in his hand, let out a slight sigh, and then clasped his fists and spoke loudly.

 Hear the words.

 “Commander, the front is Xingyi County. Should we go into the city or go directly around?”

 Because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the chieftain inherits the hereditary system.

 The Tusi Mansion seems to be dead.

 Hands over the power of life and death to take whatever they want from the mountain people under his rule.

Until the Ming and Qing dynasties, the system of Tuguiliu was changed, and the Tusi Mansion was decentralized. Tuzhizhou, Tuzhifu and Tuzhi County were established. In the Qing Dynasty, Tusi Mansion was gradually abolished.

Xingyi is located at the junction of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, so it has been known as the thoroughfare of the three provinces since ancient times.

To the west of the Yuanjiang River, that is, in the southwest, there was chaos among the chieftains, and to the east of the Yuanjiang River, there was a melee between warlords.

During this period, apart from practicing daily with a calm mind and no distracting thoughts, I spent the rest of the time trying to gain enlightenment, even while eating and sleeping.

 The effort expended.

 It is almost bounded by Yuanjiang River.

 “No need, continue on your way and rest again at Anlong Land.”

 So to this day, the flower arrangement fields at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Sichuan provinces are still firmly controlled by chieftains.

  Riding on the back of a dragon colt.

 “Xingyi County?”

The mind is completely immersed in the Thirteen Clouds and Heavenly Book.

Chen Yulou's whole body was like a duckweed in the rain, as if he would fall off his horse at any time, but strangely, his figure was ups and downs, but he remained as still as a mountain.

 I don’t know how long it will take.

 It is no less effective than practicing Aoki Kung at the beginning of time travel.

 “Yes, from the shopkeeper.”

 His eyes were slightly closed.

At the moment, a group of people are walking along the beach beside the Huangni River. From time to time, fishermen fishing in boats or mountain people crossing the river in boats can be seen on the river.

 Chen Yulou slowly opened his eyes.

Suddenly.

Although Xingyi is a thoroughfare for three provinces, the transportation is not convenient and it is surrounded by endless mountains.

 Such a system is destined to be unworkable.

 And this is also true.

 However, under hundreds of years of rule, the mandate of chieftain has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the mountain people in the southwest.

 No more than that.

The guys were also silent.

　　Continue to immerse yourself in your journey.

 Chen Yulou looked up and looked into the distance. A sampan boat was floating on the water, and a shirtless man was casting and pulling the net to collect fish.

The scorching sun is like a waterfall above our heads.

 He didn’t even have a straw hat to protect him from the sun.

 But he did not complain or feel tired.

Just again and again, mechanically repeating the action of casting the net.

 There was even a bit of expectation on his face.

 When he looked past the man and landed on the cabin behind him, he finally understood.

 There was clearly a small figure lying behind the side of the ship, wearing a hat that was obviously much larger than him.

He was looking at them on the river bank with a look of amazement.

 The blushing face was full of longing and excitement.

Although separated by tens of meters.

 But it was clear to Chen Yulou’s sight.

Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but sigh.

In this troubled world that is like a quagmire, everyone is struggling, but even so, they are just looking for a way to survive and a mouthful of food.

We crossed the long embankment.

 Turn again into the mountains and forests to the east.

 Chen Yulou then put away his thoughts, closed his eyes, and continued to study the Yunlu Heavenly Book.

 More than ten steps away, the partridge whistle was the same, rising and falling with the horse's steps, and the breath spread all over the body.

 Compared to that day at Pingshan, he seemed to be thinner, and his robes had been starched to the point of turning white, but his whole spirit was completely new.

His eyes are clear, and there is no longer the fatigue that used to show in his bones.

 Long hair simply **** with a wooden hairpin.

 Handbands were already stained with frost.

 But ever since I entered the Qi-nourishing realm, my white hair has gradually turned black without even realizing it.

 A ghostly curse that was about to break out.

So it went dormant.

 There is no sign of recurrence.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　�

 I don’t know how long it will take.

His eyes flashed and he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had just finished practicing.

 “Old foreigner…”

 He raised his head and glanced at the bright sun above his head, and silently counted the time. Partridge Whistle looked back at his junior brother who was following closely behind.

 Lao foreigners broke out not long ago.

 It is still not possible to enter samadhi anytime and anywhere.

So I stayed awake most of the time along the way. When I heard my senior brother calling me, I immediately slapped my horse on the back and hurried over.

 “Give me the medicine pot.”

 “Yes, senior brother.”

As soon as he heard this, the old foreigner reacted immediately and quickly took out a pot-shaped water bag made of cowhide from the backpack on the side of the horse, and handed it to the partridge whistle.

at the same time.

 Another pinch in the horse's belly.

 The old horse beneath him was very understanding of human nature and immediately slowed down his pace.

 The two of them were almost walking side by side.

 Hand out another bamboo basket and open it gently.

On the other side, the partridge whistle that took over the medicine pot had also pulled out the cork, and a strong and pungent smell of blood suddenly filled the air.

Almost the moment the smell of blood dissipated.

 Suddenly there was a sound of intertwining iron leaves in the bamboo basket.

 From the shaking bamboo basket.

 You can also feel the anxiety of the two armored beasts.

The guys passing by on horseback seemed to have been used to this for a long time and were not curious. They just glanced at it subconsciously and continued on their way.

 But the two brothers, Partridge Shao and the old foreigner, did not dare to look down upon him in the slightest.

 Carrying a medicine pot.

 Put a few drops into the bamboo basket.

 The next moment, the sound of iron leaves interlacing was replaced by the sound of swallowing.

 Until the blood dissipates.

There was silence in the bamboo basket again.

Only then did Partridge Whistle peek in.

 Compared to a few months ago, the two armored beasts were significantly larger than they were a few months ago.

The bamboo basket that was originally quite spacious now seems a bit narrow and cramped.

 But what frightened him even more.

 The breath emanating from the two armored beasts.

There is clearly a faint hint of mirage.

 “Senior brother…”

I saw my senior brother looking at him silently.

The old foreigner holding the bamboo basket couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and subconsciously asked.

Since the start of Longtan Mountain, the senior brother has been feeding the dragon essence and blood to the two armored beasts almost every day for the past half month, trying to replicate the miracle of the Angry Chicken.

 It's just that his vision is still a little behind after all.

 Can't see many clues.

 At best, I feel that they are much more energetic than before. You must know that he has been responsible for taking care of the two senior armored beasts since he followed his senior brother in the rivers and lakes. He thought he knew their habits fairly well.

 Besides eating.

 Sleep most of the day.

  But since feeding with essence and blood, even if no powder is sprayed, the armored beast will be active at least half of the day.

 It was simply unimaginable before.

 “Almost like a demon.”

 Hear the confusion in the junior brother's voice.

Partridge Whistle pursed his lips and pondered for a moment before giving an answer.

more specifically.

After devouring a large amount of dragon essence and blood, these two armored beasts have actually become psychic and transformed into demons.

However, for the sake of caution, he still did not dare to speak too fully.

 But even so, the old foreigner's eyes suddenly lit up.

 The hands holding the bamboo basket were trembling a little.

 Transform into a demon!

He can be regarded as seeing with his own eyes how Luofu and Yuan Hong went from ordinary birds and wild monkeys to where they are today.

The two-headed armored beast of the Qishan lineage has been in the hands of tribesmen for several generations.

　　If you have never transformed into a demon.

 There will eventually come a day when our lifespan ends and we die of old age.

But if you succeed in transforming into a demon, I don’t dare to say how successful it will be. Whether you can reach the level of Yuan Hong, at least you will not experience birth, old age, illness, and death in a short period of time.

 Decades of time.

 Let them already regard the two armored beasts as their predecessors.

 Which of the emotions can be easily let go of?

"Okay, let the two seniors refine the blood essence first, and don't disturb them."

 Feel the excitement on the old foreigner's face.

Partridge Whistle smiled.

 That's not the case in his mind.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the essence and blood of the dragon in Longtan Mountain that day, just to prolong the life of the armored beast.

Hearing this, the old foreigner came back to his senses, grinned silently, quickly closed the bamboo basket, carefully covered it with a black cloth to block out the strong light from outside, and put it back in its place.

 “Spend more thought on this journey.”

 “Take good care of it and make sure it doesn’t get out of the basket.”

Partridge Whistle thought for a while and added another sentence.

 “I know, senior brother.”

 The old foreigner nodded seriously.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle stopped thinking and patted the horse's back, signaling the horse to speed up so as not to be thrown too far away by others.

 On the way to pursuit.

He did not forget to shake the medicine pot, and a low muffled sound came out. Listening to the movement, there was not much blood and essence left.

 For a moment, Partridge Whistle couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

 I should have known this.

 While in Zhelong Mountain, it’s time to collect as much blood as possible from the great goblin.

 Otherwise, we will not face a situation of being stretched.

As the two armored beasts gradually became spiritually enlightened, the speed of refining blood essence became faster and faster.

 At first, one drop of blood essence could last for three to five days, but now it consumes two drops a day.

 He is not afraid of not having anything to add.

There are countless lakes and mountains deep in Yunnan and Guizhou, many of which have been uninhabited for thousands of years. Often, monsters breed in such places.

What Partridge Whistle is worried about is that the blood essence of ordinary monsters is useless against armored beasts.

 After all, Jiaolong belongs to the dragon genus, and among all the monsters, its bloodline is also the most advanced one.

But trouble is still trouble.

　Judging from the auras emanating from the two armored beasts, the first step has actually been taken.

Just like human practice, why the Qi Lian Pass is called Yue Longmen is because everything is difficult at the beginning.

As long as you take the first step, the future will be much smoother.

With a click, the cork was fastened again. Partridge Whistle put away his distracting thoughts and looked up at the cavalry that spread almost a mile or two in front of him. His eyes subconsciously fell on the figure in the green shirt among them.

The last few days.

 Brother Chen seemed a little absent-minded.

 That’s not right either.

 My mind is not all on cultivation, but on thinking about something.

 He didn’t have much trouble asking about this.

His eyes turned to Hua Ling, and feeling the increasingly stable aura on her body, Partridge Whistle couldn't help but feel a hint of relief in his eyes.

 Practice martial arts in the past.

Although the junior sister also showed quite a lot of talent.

 But there was always one step between him and the old foreigner.

Unexpectedly, he has a far superior foundation in cultivation than the two of them.

Judging from the aura exuding from her body, junior sister must have entered the Qi-nurturing realm, and the gap between her and him is almost insignificant.

You must know that Hua Ling entered the Qi Refining Pass almost a month later than him.

 But now he almost came from behind.

How proud she would be if her parents were still alive.

Thinking of this, Partridge Whistle couldn't help but think of two gentle figures in his mind, but it's a pity...

 Sighed secretly.

He didn't dare to think too much. He forced his thoughts away and concentrated on his journey.

 A blink of an eye.

As night approached, everyone finally arrived at Anlong’s territory before sunset.

Anlong is located in the hinterland of southeastern Guizhou. Unlike those ancient cities that have a history of thousands of years, it was originally just a market, a place where barbarians of all ethnic groups around them bartered.

Gradually, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger.

 It took a hundred years to develop into a small town.

 The scale is incomparable to Jianshui City and Laosicheng. Especially when night falls, there are only a few people coming and going, and it is difficult to find a restaurant.

 In fact, it is just a food house.

However, for many people who have been sleeping rough all the way, having a hot meal to eat and a bed to sleep on is already extremely satisfying.

 The only room left is for Hua Ling and Miss Hong.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao could only sleep in Datongbu with the guys.

 But after running around all day, they didn't even have time to complain, so they fell into a deep sleep.

 Early the next morning.

 Get up to eat, make some simple supplies, and then the group is on their way again.

 It has passed through the three counties of Wangmo, Luodian and Pingtang.

 In a blink of an eye.

 They finally entered the boundaries of Duyun Cave and Baima Cave.

 It’s different from what you saw when you came here.

Although the life of the mountain people has become a little poorer along the way, at least they still have some hope. As long as they work hard, they can barely support their families.

 But once you enter here.

Everywhere along the road were victims of the war, dragging their families with them and escaping the disasters of war. There was no hope on their faces, their eyes were empty and lifeless, and they were anxious at the slightest sign of trouble.

 Especially seeing their cavalry.

Those victims were even more frightened to their core.

 I am afraid that the chieftain will come to arrest me.

No matter the Peng family or the Anjia, they always dealt with the mountain people in a life-and-death manner.

Escape into the mountains, there may be a chance of survival, but if you are caught back, you will really die.

 Let Miss Hong go and inquire.

After looking for more than ten people in a row, I finally met an old man who understood Chinese. According to what he said, the Peng family and the An family had already made a real splash in the Nanlong River area.

 Both sides invested tens of thousands of people each.

 The chieftain's soldiers supervise the battle.

Not only that, both sides are still grabbing strong men from all over and sending them to the battlefield. It is obvious that they will be used as cannon fodder.

 Now under the rule of two families, almost all the rooms are empty.

When the war broke out, those who had some contacts ran away early. They lived in the mountains and had little information. By the time they knew about the arrest, it was already too late.

 Coupled with the family and dependents.

 It is impossible to run away.

You can only take refuge in the uninhabited mountains and old forests.

“Shopkeeper, just across the mountain is Laosicheng. Look...”

Hong girl pointed at the map with a questioning look in her eyes.

However, there was a bit of uncontrollable chill in his tone.

 It’s not just him.

 The rest of the people also looked over.

 Always wait to make up your mind.

Chen Yulou looked away from the map, glanced at the people around him, and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.

 Nanlonghe was beaten to death.

 Both sides took a deep breath, trying to swallow the other up.

So…

 The city behind must be empty.

 How could he miss such a good opportunity?

　　Attack the enemy when he is unprepared to make him weak.

The strategies of our ancestors are all written in the military books. If you can't copy a cat or a tiger, then all those years of studying and traveling in the world have been in vain.

“Now that we’re here, of course we have to take a walk.”

"How can it be my Chang Shengshan style if I don't avenge the government soldiers who surrounded the building?"
