The years when I explored the fairyland

That night,

In the Jieying Hall.

Chu Zhou looked at the courses one by one for a while, and finally locked on one, "Basic Qualities of Sword Cultivation".

This is a basic course, and the exchange merit is only 200 points, which is not expensive, but there is nothing useless in the Jieying Hall.

And sword cultivation is the most fierce category among immortal cultivation, and it is also what he needs most now.

Coincidentally, he also got a flying sword magic weapon, and the most important tools for cultivation are also complete.

Without hesitation, he chose to exchange, and saw the sound of the avenue sounded again, and the illusion reappeared again, and a stream of knowledge like a clear spring flowed through his mind.

It also made Chu Zhou have a deeper understanding of sword cultivation, as if a new world was opened.

After all, it is a basic course, and it also explains the basic knowledge of sword cultivation, from birth to development, to evolution, to progress, until it finally became a very special kind of all magic weapons, and even singled out as the so-called first in killing.

This process, of course, has evolved over a long period of time.

Chu Zhou, from this history, learned about the specialness of sword cultivators, the killing methods of sword cultivators, and the various magical aspects of sword cultivators.

At a certain moment, when he saw a certain method of sword cultivation, his eyes could not help but light up.

Isn't this the most suitable for him?

...

The next day,

Early morning.

After washing up, Chu Zhou patrolled the top of Yanshui City as usual. After confirming that today was just a "routine" siege, he returned to a urn city.

After driving everyone else out, he took out the ancient flying sword without saying a word.

Although it is said to be ancient, it is actually brand new now. The sword body is bright and has layers of cloud patterns on it. The hilt and the sword body are integrated, and there is no trace of inlay at all.

Looking closely, there are two words "Qingyin" on the sword body, which is probably the name of this flying sword.

Chu Zhou had tried it before. When the sword was swung, the sound of breaking through the air was clear and distant, like a beautiful woman's gentle voice.

However, according to the knowledge system he obtained from the Jieying Hall, the development of sword cultivation has already had more and more complex requirements for flying swords.

Nowadays, flying swords have appeared in many strange forms, such as crescents, blades, and wheels, each different.

And most of them are only the size of a palm, which makes it easier to refine into the body or drive and control.

In fact, in order to reduce wind resistance, almost all flying swords have no hilts, only blades.

And the "Qingyin" in Chu Zhou's hand is an extremely old style. The only advantage is that in addition to flying the sword to meet the enemy, it can also fight with the sword. Except for a very small number of sword cultivators, it has been eliminated.

However, this does not prevent Chu Zhou from liking it.

So, he used the "controlling object technique" without hesitation, and saw the flying sword floating up from his hand, hanging in the air, with the hilt facing down and the sword body facing up, like a sword facing the sky.

Chu Zhou opened his mouth again, and saw a beam of white light spit out from his mouth and hit the sword again.

But strangely, they were not destroyed by the collision, but flowed into the sword body as if alive, and moved inch by inch inside the sword body.

This breath of lung gold sword energy was what Chu Zhou had been nurturing and refining since the body tempering stage, and after many optimizations, and even deduced on the stage of the heavens, it was already different from the past.

And a kind of sword training method that Chu Zhou saw in the reception hall yesterday was to combine the sword energy nurtured by oneself with the sword embryo of the flying sword, so as to forge a flying sword that was not as good as the natal flying sword, but more like an arm and more powerful.

Among the flying swords, the natal flying sword is the best, and some sword cultivators only cultivate one flying sword in order to be the first in killing.

But the natal flying sword is connected to life, and if it is slightly damaged, the sword cultivator will also be injured. It is a double-edged sword.

To take someone's life, you also have to bet your own life. If you are not a sword fanatic, you'd better not try to become such a sword cultivator.

In addition to the natal flying sword, there are many other methods, each with its own tricks. What Chu Zhou is using now is actually to refine five flying swords with the energy of the five internal organs and the five elements. The longer it is nurtured, the stronger the killing power.

The only flaw is that this method damages the foundation of the five internal organs. If you are not a strong person, you may suffer from all kinds of injuries when practicing this method.

But Chu Zhou saw it and really felt that it was tailor-made for Xuanzhen Temple.

In terms of the health and strength of the five internal organs, there is nothing more perfect than the "Five Elements Internal Organ Training Method". After practicing the internal organs in martial arts, isn't it perfect to learn this sword cultivation method?

Of course, the prerequisite is that Xuanzhen Temple can mass-produce flying swords, even if it is just a flying sword magic weapon.

But now it seems a bit far away!

Chu Zhou withdrew his thoughts, and the lung-gold sword energy in his mouth was exhausted. He took a long breath and looked again.

The flying sword itself had disappeared in the ‘light chant’, but a red-white light was blooming, hazy and dreamy, and extremely beautiful.

Chu Zhou pinched his hands again, and the light blue mana flowed out, and one by one the weapon patterns took shape and struck out.

Gradually, in the flying sword, a series of spiritual imprints began to gather from nothing.

Of course, this could not be completed in a short time.

He was busy until the sunset, and finally completed the first level of imprint. He sighed and relaxed.

Then he found Wei Jinkui, Wang Zhi and others, dealt with some urgent matters today, and went back to practice on his own.

The cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building was still a little bit poor. If he had the golden elixir realm, he would dare to wipe out all enemies with one sword, why would he need so many calculations? !

However, what he didn't expect was that just after midnight, an uninvited guest came to Yanshui City.

…

It's night,

The full moon hangs in the sky, and the moonlight is like water, splashing on the earth.

Martial law has been implemented in Yanshui City, and countless soldiers wearing armor and holding torches are patrolling everywhere.

In the silent night, all that could be heard was the sound of armor rubbing against each other.

Just waiting for a group of soldiers to leave, a figure emerged from the darkness.

He had excellent lightness skills and landed silently. He also concentrated his breath to the limit and wandered in the darkness like a ghost, constantly moving forward.

But even though he was a 'ghost', he still couldn't hide from the eyes of some people, which caused a commotion and even disturbed Wei Fangjie who was on patrol at night.

As a result, the riot quickly subsided.

At Chu Zhou's residence, Wei Fangjie interrupted Chu Zhou who was practicing.

…

On the bed, Chu Zhou sat cross-legged. After hearing the report, he couldn't help but look up and asked, "Wait a minute, who do you think wants to see me?"

Wei Fangjie said: "He introduced himself as a member of the Beggar Army, and represented the Beggar Army to mourn the king Ran Yongzeng."

"For what?"

"He doesn't want to talk about this. He won't speak until he sees you, senior brother."

Chu Zhou held his head, thought for a while, then laughed and said: "It's really interesting, let's meet?"

"Meet you!"

"See you soon!"

In the living room, when Chu Zhou stepped into it, he saw a man in black tied up tightly, like a rice dumpling.

The scarf was also taken off, revealing his rough face, beard, thick eyebrows, and eyes as big as copper bells, which looked like he was glaring at everyone.

There were many night watch warriors in the living room, standing around one by one, surrounding him and glaring at him angrily.

If looks could kill, this big man in black would probably die thousands of times, but even so, he actually showed no weakness at all. Anyone who glared at him would stare back without giving in.

But when he saw Chu Zhou, his pupils shrank and he knelt down obediently.

Chu Zhou circled around him three times, looked up and down, then waved his hand and said, "You guys go down first."

"yes!"

The warriors who watched the night left without any nonsense. They were relieved and did not think that anyone could hurt the Master Chu in front of them.

Only Wei Fangjie did not leave. He stood behind Chu Zhou and looked at the big man in black in front of him with interest.

Chu Zhou cut the binding rope with a wave of his hand, walked up to the top, sat down, and asked, "What's your name?"

The man in black immediately said: "The villain Hong Zhu has a reputation as a scholar and has been appointed as a staff member under King Ran Tian.

This time, I was assigned by King Ran Tian to come here to see Master Chu. "

Chu Zhou didn't say anything, but Wei Fangjie spoke first: "Say, you are a civil servant. I think you have perfect cultivation. You are only one step away from innateness. Why are you a staff member?"

Hong Zhu said: "The martial arts I practice is inherited from my family. I have a decent talent and a smooth journey.

However, I admire the character of scholars, so martial arts is only for protection, and getting a title on the gold medal list is my pursuit. "

"I've been begging for a long time, just to get a scholar's reputation?"

Wei Fangjie's words pierced his heart, and Hong Zhu's face turned red immediately. He said: "I took the exam three times and passed the exam all three times. But in the blink of an eye, my exam paper was renamed and became someone else's name.

The officialdom of the Universiade has become so dark that I can no longer see any way out.

Therefore, when Ran Tianwang started to gain momentum, I chose to follow him without hesitation, and I also got the position of a staff member. "

"Hey, he's still a very ambitious person."

The smile on Chu Zhou's face gradually faded and became cold and indifferent: "I don't care about the injustice you have suffered.

I just want to ask, what is the plan of your King Ran Tian to let you come here? "

Hong Zhu said: "Did King Ran Tian ask me to give gifts to Master Chu?"

"Giving a gift? He gave it to me? Hahaha, does this look like a joke?"

Chu Zhou seemed to laugh at this and asked again: "Do you think I believe this?"

Hong Zhu explained: "Although my Heavenly King is not an unparalleled genius like Guanzhu, he is still a general who fought for his life with a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and eventually became one of the twelve begging armies.

Not to mention martial arts, he has a naturally keen sense of smell in battle formations.

Why do you think such a king could attack Yanshui City hundreds of miles away without even winning the battle in Hongde County? "

"How do I know what he is thinking? Is it possible that he has a convulsion in his head?" Chu Zhou responded like this, but his eyes had lost a bit of contempt and became a bit more serious.

Hong Zhu didn't seem to hear Chu Zhou's ridicule and said directly: "The Heavenly King can't help himself. The two martial arts masters Xie Daoyuan and Jinhu Zen Master who are stationed in the army forced our Heavenly King to come.

Of course, these two people had no choice but to do so, because both Xuanyue Sect and Jingshi Red Lotus Society had issued death orders, and they needed to break into the city, kill people, and destroy Xuanzhen Temple. "

Chu Zhou was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Why?"

"Because someone has placed an exciting bonus in Xuanyue Sect and Red Lotus Society to destroy Xuanzhen Guan, and that bonus comes from the enemy of the King of Hell."

As soon as he said this, Chu Zhou understood instantly. He knew that there would be disaster if the old man Erhu escaped.

I just didn’t know that this disaster would come so quickly!

"If this is the gift given to me by King Ran Tian, ​​then it will clear up a lot of my confusion."

"No, no, this is just one of the gifts."

"besides?"

"Yes! Actually, after the failure of the siege, my king wanted to retreat. In a place surrounded by enemies, he was just looking for death!

But the two martial arts masters were unwilling to do so. They forced my king to summon his old subordinates to delay time, while they sought help everywhere.

Now, there are already six martial arts masters in the entire Qihuo Army camp."

"Six?"

Chu Zhou couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and asked: "Don't lie to me. If there are six martial arts masters, why don't you move your troops?"

"Because the old man Erhu hasn't arrived yet, as for how many helpers he will bring, it's still unknown?"

"Is that so!"

Chu Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "What else, say it all at once?"

"My king means the names, origins, attitudes of these masters , and even the martial arts that can be found out are all great gifts we give to the master of the temple. "

"What does your king want?"

"I only hope that Master Chu can let my king go when the situation is declining. My Qihuo Army will never invade Tianquan County again, but please don't pursue the desperate enemy!"

"Just this?"

"Just this!"

"It seems that your king is more confident than I am in myself. It's really interesting."

"Did the master of the temple agree?"

"Why shouldn't I agree to something that is beneficial and harmless?"

"In that case, I will thank the master of the temple on behalf of the king."

At this point, Hong Zhu had already taken out a booklet from his arms and handed it over. Chu Zhou flipped through it and found that it recorded the information of six martial arts masters.

It even recorded how many servants and masters they had under their command, which was very detailed.

Hong Zhu added, "As for the rest, I will send a message to the master of the temple when those people come."

"That's great!"

Hong Zhu left, and was escorted out of Yanshui City by Wei Fangjie himself. When Wei Fangjie came back, he found Chu Zhou still flipping through the booklet.

He couldn't help asking, "Big Brother, do you think what he said is true or false?"

"It sounds like it's false. After all, the martial arts masters on their side are far superior to us.

But the problem is..."

At this point, Chu Zhou raised his head slightly and looked at Wei Fangjie and said, "The problem is that I always feel that what he said is true!"

"Then what should we do?"

"It's very simple. Be prepared for the enemy's moves."

...

On the other side,

In the camp of the Qihuo Army.

Hong Zhu flashed in and entered the barracks, and saw his own king sitting behind the table, drinking wine from time to time, but his expression was a little dazed, as if he didn't feel anything.

"Heavenly King, I'm back!"

"Is the matter done?"

"They agreed!"

"It's good if they agreed, it's good if they agreed!"

Ran Yongzeng seemed to be relieved and said, "That person is young and very ambitious, so he should keep his promise."

At this time, Hong Zhu couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Heavenly King, do you think we are so unfavorable?

There are more than six martial arts masters. If they just run over them, the whole Yanshui City will be gone."

"You don't understand, you don't understand!"

Ran Yongzeng looked at this hero who followed him through wind and rain, and said, "It's been so long, can you see that I have misjudged him?"

Hong Zhu tilted his head and thought for a while: "This, it's really not true!"

"So, trust me again, it's right! It's right!"

As he said this, Ran Yongzeng turned his head and looked in the direction of Yanshui City.

There was a big tent blocking him, so he shouldn't be able to see anything, but there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Tears seemed to flow out of the corners of his eyes!

‘It’s getting stronger again, it’s getting stronger again, this rate of growth is simply unjust! ’

He Ran Yongzeng doesn’t believe in fate, but he believes in luck. His eyes are also cultivated by the ancient immortals, and he has considerable luck.

He can get to where he is today, more or less, all thanks to this secret technique.

However, the original Yanshui City was just a precarious fate, but since the arrival of this Chu Guanzhu, it has directly become blessed by the blue dragon and indestructible.

This is not the end, mainly because the fate is getting stronger day by day. At the beginning, he could still take a look.

Now, a glance at it makes him feel like his eyes are going to be useless.

So, he had this last resort, just to save his life.

…

Elsewhere,

In the tent.

The red-haired old man Xie Daoyuan and the young monk Jinhu Zen Master met, but they discussed another matter.

"Have you received any news? Have you sent anyone?"

"No! What about you?"

"No!"

"In order to complete the tasks in the sect, the martial arts masters we invited have all arrived, but there is no movement in the sect.

Tell me, what is this?"

Xie Daoyuan kept nagging, and felt that this matter was weird, and the Golden Fox Zen Master said: "Have you ever thought of another possibility?"

"What?"

"It's not that the sect doesn't want to send people, but they feel the pressure and can't spare any manpower!"

"Is this possible? Is it possible? I know that Xiong Kuohai, the leader of the Tyrant Sect, has gone down the mountain, but they are facing a combination of you and me.

No matter how powerful Xiong Kuohai is, can he withstand the joint attack of the Red Lotus Sect Leader and the Black Moon Demon Lord?"

"Who can say for sure? Otherwise, think about other possibilities?"

"This..."

The red-haired old man was a little speechless, but still said: "It may be something we don't know, who can say for sure?"

"Yeah, who can say for sure? It's our luck that we have to stay in Tianyuan Prefecture.

Now, it's better to leave this Yanshui City."

"Then just wait for the old man Erhu to come here, I hope they can come faster?"

...

Many people are waiting for the old man Erhu, waiting for his arrival, but no one can think that he will come so slowly.

Time is like quicksand in your hand, the tighter you hold it, the faster it flows.

In just a blink of an eye, more than two months have passed. The Qihuo Army, relying on its military advantage and many masters, has turned the tide in Botou and Dongli counties, occupying more and more places.

This also forced the Cao Gang and Tiancangmen to seek changes, change their tactics, change the structure of the army, change the mode of transportation and logistics supply...

They have a ready-made 'teacher', and all the policies of Tianquan County are the objects of their imitation. For this reason, they even sent many people to Tianquan County to study.

And Bingxi Sect is the only one among the three that has a good life.

They have been crippled, and almost all the sects and armies in the entire Hongde County have been crippled, but there is not much resistance to change.

Fighting for their own home, they have burst out with stronger fighting power and more unity, and thus, they have really regained a lot of land.

As the saying goes, 'there is superiority and inferiority only when there is comparison', compared with the tragic situation of these three counties, the entire Tianquan County has no more nonsense and no strange verbal attacks.

As long as it is the order of Xuanzhen Temple, if there are conditions, cooperate with it fully, if there are no conditions, create conditions and cooperate with it fully!

This time, including Xu Cheng, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu, Cao Bao and others also came to Yanshui City one after another.

It seems that everyone has felt the urgency of the coming war.

So, on this day, Chu Zhou's magic power spread all over his body, his aura soared, and his strength went a step further, achieving the late stage of foundation building.

On the same day, in the camp of the Qihuo Army, the old man with a broken arm came to the Erhu, without many people, and only led an equally skinny old man.

But before everyone was disappointed, he looked at the weeping king Ran Yongzeng and said, "Get your beggars ready.

After a while, after the city is broken, don't let anyone go."

What else could Ran Yongzeng say, he could only say, "Yes!"

At the same time, on the top of the city, a paper crane in Chu Zhou's hand spontaneously ignited without wind and burned to ashes.

He took out another 'Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Note' and shook it casually, and a golden light burst out. He said, "The prey has been caught, are you ready?"

"We have been ready for a long time, just waiting for your order from Master Chu, we will act immediately!"

A rough voice sounded, which was an excitement that could not be concealed. This person was Huang Shenfu, the current master of the Ice Rhino Sect.

"I am ready here too."

This was a very cool female voice, which sounded quite young, and in fact, it was indeed young.

Under the age of forty, she was an absolute genius among martial arts masters.

And she, Gu Weijun, the new leader of Tiancang Sect, has been in office for only one year. She can ascend to the position of leader of Tiancang Sect and lead a county as a woman because her martial arts talent is enough.

"In this battle, please do your best to make this beggar army completely dissipate, and also show our strength so that people in the world dare not underestimate us."

This time, the speaker was a man with full of energy. The Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Note can only transmit sound, but even so, it seems that his vigorous spirit can be felt.

It is Yan Daoqian, the current leader of the Cao Gang, who has the cultivation of a martial arts master, strong combat power, many subordinates, and the canal business is spread throughout the Dayun Dynasty.

"Since that's the case, everyone, advance your troops!"

The foreshadowing is complete, and the battle will start tomorrow!
