Tiandao doesn't work today

Chapter 18 Battle of Jishui

Yan Nu grinned as he felt the vitality surging again in his body due to eating the steamed cake.

He called his initial Qi 'Hammer Qi'. After eating a few steamed cakes, it grew from acupuncture points all over his body in an instant.

Not only that, it was ten percent stronger than before it was exhausted.

The only thing that confused him was that the "Taihuang White Jade Sutra" that the monster sister taught him was not recovered, and he didn't know if he didn't eat enough?

"No matter, just practice again."

Yan Nu happily started practicing, transforming the recovered hammer energy again, forming two large cyclones.

The two large whirlpools were practiced again after they were scattered, and they were lost and recovered. The cycle of birth and death was actually a bit more pure and majestic than when they were first condensed.

And as the hammer's true energy continues to be consumed and transformed, the cyclone continues to grow.

During this process, the injury was also slowly recovering. When the hammer's true energy was exhausted, the injury was 10% better.

I don't know how much time passed before Shen Leling's voice came again: "Yan Nu'er, you practice very quickly. It's not in vain that I teach you the "Taihuang White Jade Sutra"."

"This is an authentic Xuanmen skill that refines essence and transforms energy into energy. You need to take more tonics to practice it faster... It's a pity that my sister doesn't have it."

"This Chashan Castle is extremely poor. The secret rooms are filled with scraps of metal and some useless scriptures. My sister only found some healing medicine, which is useful for your injury but not for your practice."

Shen Leling is well aware of the difficulties of the authentic Taoist methods such as the "Taihuang White Jade Sutra". It is not a magic method and will extract the essence according to the condition of the human body.

Therefore, the less essence of the human body, the slower the cultivation process. It is necessary to have heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and powerful tonic elixirs to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the vitality.

Even if the poor people practice for decades, it will be difficult for them to temper their bodies in one element.

Yan Slave's current loss of Qi and blood is even worse. By refining Qi in this way, the inner breath produced by each acupuncture point must be as thin as a gossamer, and the cyclone will not be able to grow at all!

"Come on, come on, take all these medicines."

While talking, Shen Leling himself appeared.

Yan Nu raised his eyelids slightly and saw 'Instructor Ma' standing in front of him, opened a bottle of ointment and touched him.

As soon as the ointment was applied, Yan Nu felt cool to the bone and the wound was itchy.

"Here, take these two bottles of medicine. You will recover faster." Shen Leling then popped out two drops of water, mixed them with two bottles of medicine powder, and then poured them into his mouth.

The two bottles of medicine were digested as soon as they entered the stomach. In an instant, the acupoints all over Yan Nu's body were filled with the hammer's true energy, and he was full of energy.

"What kind of medicine is this?" Yan Nu asked in surprise.

Shen Leling said calmly: "It's just raw bone powder and melted blood powder. It will speed up the recovery of your injuries."

Yan Nu blinked, but he didn't expect that he could digest these two medicines instantly and restore his true energy.

"Master Ma!"

Suddenly there was a sound. It turned out that because Shen Leling did not avoid people, the patrolling warriors nearby rushed over.

"What did this untouchable do to cause such misery?" Shen Leling put away the medicine bottle and went forward with confusion.

"Hey, this fool has offended Manager Liao and wants to show off to the public for three days. Huh? He hasn't died yet?" said the patrolling warrior, who was a little surprised to find that Yan Nu was not dead yet.

Shen Leling looked thoughtful: "Yes, I just feel something is wrong. With such an injury, I should have died long ago... Could it be..."

"What?" The patrolling warriors looked at each other with concentration. They had all heard that a group of people were killed by monsters last night.

You know, the people who died were all warriors like them, and they were also registered in the army, but they still died, which shows that the monsters are not afraid of their mortal fire!

The indisputable fact that monsters are not afraid of mortal fire makes the warriors in the castle panic.

"Could it be that the monster saved this untouchable and saved his life?" Shen Leling glanced around suspiciously.

All the warriors also looked around. It was quiet at night, and there were a few dim lights in the distance, accompanied by a few night crows.

In this situation, they could not help but shudder at the thought that monsters might be spying on them in the dark, looking for prey.

Shen Leling's tone trembled slightly: "Something's wrong, I have an ominous premonition..."

"bass!"

Shen Leling unsheathed his sword with a fierce posture, but his slightly trembling hands made the blade make a slight shaking sound, which seemed to reveal the fear in his heart.

"The place of execution, hmm... the evil spirit is very strong." Shen Leling spoke slowly, half-sentence, and swallowed. Everyone saw that he was covered in sweat.

Seeing that the 'horse instructor', who was a top-notch expert, was so nervous, a terrifying atmosphere instantly spread among the warriors.

"What's the significance of this... this evil spirit?"

Shen Leling said in a difficult voice: "The evil spirit can nourish evil spirits, so evil spirits like to hide in such dangerous places..."

"I thought that the evildoer from last night might be here, so I came to check. I didn't expect that you would still hang a dying person here, adding more blood and blood, and the aura of death would be even worse..."

"Ah..." The patrolling warrior's heart skipped a beat.

"Where...where would the monster hide?"

Everyone regarded 'Coach Ma' as their backbone, but they saw his eyes wandering, as if he was avoiding someone's gaze.

One eye glanced everywhere, but he didn't look at the Yan slave chained up in the center of the field.

"Could it be..." A warrior quickly glanced at the torture rack.

The Yan slave looks like a bloody man, with his arms locked upwards and his body hanging down naturally.

The low face was covered with messy hair, and the expression could not be seen clearly. The scars crisscrossing the body looked hideous and terrifying under the moonlight.

A cold wind blew by at an untimely moment, causing his body to sway slightly.

The warrior drew his sword and pointed it at Yan Nu, and blurted out: "The evildoer is hiding in his body!"

"Seeking death! Don't say it!" Shen Leling shouted in horror.

The warrior's face turned pale. It turned out that 'Instructor Ma's eyes were wandering and his words were vague. Did he not dare to reveal the evildoer's hiding place?

If even 'Instructor Ma' is afraid, wouldn't he be seeking death if he pointed it out?

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and the surrounding area was suddenly filled with thick water vapor, covering all directions.

This made them, who were about to escape, not sure whether they should run or not.

"Whoa!" They saw the 'Main Coach' fly out and dive into the mist.

Just as everyone was about to follow, they heard a shrill scream: "Let me go!"

In an instant, the 'horse instructor' flew back, a bloody hand clamped his neck and threw him to the ground.

All the warriors were frightened, and they saw 'Master Ma' kneeling down and crying: "Spare my life, I will make sacrifices for you day and night, and the incense will never stop."

The bloody hand immediately pointed the spearhead at the warrior aside and flew towards him.

The other warriors' legs weakened and they also knelt down and begged for mercy: "I will also give you a living sacrifice and incense. Don't kill me!"

When they begged for mercy, they found that the bloody hands disappeared, and their faces were overjoyed. They didn't expect that it would actually work!

"I'll go back and burn incense right away!" The warriors hurriedly left.

But when I heard the voice of 'Master Ma', he changed his mind: "Oh, gods do not punish non-human beings, and people do not worship non-tribes. It would be great if the incense of all peoples could be useful to me... I am squatting in one place, enjoying the incense and practicing, Isn't it beautiful? Why bother running around?"

Shen Leling sighed softly, took off his blindfold, and his left eye flew out of the water like a spring.

The warriors were horrified and wanted to escape, but they were already entangled by a yin energy, and were immediately wrapped by the water flow.

Shen Leling used Yan Nu to defeat a wave of warriors.

She buried all the corpses, cleaned up all traces, and said to Yan Nu, "I will let you go and train you to become a stunning warrior in the future, okay?"

"Okay." Yan Nu responded.

"It's a small matter, but... from now on, you have to listen to me!" Shen Leling chuckled.

Yan Nu was a slave, but he simply asked, "Are you also a noble?"

Shen Leling paused and said, "I have no father or mother. I was born from heaven and earth, so of course I am noble!"

"Are you more powerful than the castle master?" Yan Nu asked again.

Shen Leling was annoyed when he heard this: "Kekeke... you compare me with a mortal? The master of Chashan Castle is only second-rate. I will eat him in a few days!"

Yan Nu remembered Uncle Hong's words and corrected him: "I heard that the castle master is a first-class master."

"Haha, this warrior in a remote area loves to brag! Is it possible that he is still living in a dream?" Shen Leling sneered.

Then he explained: "Whether it is the fortress's mood or the three coaches of Han and Huma, they may have been top-notch before, but now the world is in chaos, even more chaotic than ever before! Everyone is in danger... there are many martial arts practitioners!"

"Let's not talk about the strong men among the barbarians. Just talking about the wealthy families forming strongholds and vigorously recruiting local warriors, and using the clan's classics to cultivate warriors... has already made the once first-rate, and now it can only be regarded as second-rate."

"Similar to more than five hundred years ago, the three-dimensional tempering body was considered the best in the world, until an overlord emerged..."

Yan Nu suddenly realized: "Times have changed, and the strong men in the past may not be as strong today. The nobles in the past may not be as noble today."

"Nothing in the world is permanent, is it?"

Shen Leling said happily: "Yes, the way of heaven is clear, and those who change will always succeed!"

"Great disasters give birth to demons, great chaos breeds demons, and great tribulations give birth to heroes! How much stronger this world is compared to the past!"

"This is what Mencius said, this time, that time! In five hundred years there will be a king, and during this period there will be someone famous!"

Yan Nu's eyes shone, Aweng had been teaching him to wait, to wait for the officers and soldiers, to wait for the court, to wait for the aristocratic family, to wait for the immortals... but the world was in turmoil.

Is Taiping really waiting for you? He doesn't know, but he yearns for the outside world...

"Yan Nuer, I will help you kill those stewards and the fort master. From now on, you will follow me. I will take you to the south of the Yangtze River and I will not treat you badly." Shen Leling said in a seductive tone.

However, after hearing this, Yan Nu was disappointed. He hesitated for a moment and said, "You want to take me so far? I'm sorry, I can't agree to you."

"What!" Shen Leling was stunned. She saw that Yan Nu yearned for the outside world, so she didn't expect to be rejected.

"Aweng is coming back soon, I have to wait for him." Yan Nu said firmly.

"Who is your Aweng? Where is he?"

"On the battlefield of Jishui, Uncle Hong said that Aweng was working as a miscellaneous person in the army and would come back after winning the battle."

Shen Leling was stunned: "Jishui battlefield? But in the army of Qingzhou Governor Gou Xi?"

"Yes, yes, that's Gou Xi!" Yan Nu was very happy: "Do you also know?"

Shen Leling curled his lips: "Of course I know, I escaped from the north... You don't have to wait any longer, Yan Nuer, your uncle is dead."

Yan Nu remained unwavering: "No, Uncle Hong said that I, Aweng, am still fine."

Shen Leling shook his head and said, "Then he must have lied to you!"

"Gou Xi's army was defeated in consecutive battles and lost all the cities north of Jishui, so he crossed the river and ordered all the ships to be burned. This delayed the attack for more than half a year."

"And just a month ago, the Tufa clan finally prepared all the boats to cross the river, and 200,000 Jin troops stationed themselves south of Jishui to confront them."

Yan Nu nodded: "I know."

Shen Leling said in a solemn tone: "But you definitely don't know what happened next."

"Jishui is already the last gateway to Qingzhou. Gou Xi decided to defend the south bank. Ten thousand troops were stationed at each ferry, and there were countless strong bows and heavy crossbows."

"It's okay if the Tufa clan doesn't cross the river. If they forcefully cross the river, they will be attacked halfway across the river."

"However, what Gou Xi didn't expect was that when the Tufa clan crossed the river, only one person came!"

Shen Leling's voice was trembling, as if she couldn't believe that scene.

"A young man! With one man, one sword and one small boat, he landed on the shore with thousands of arrows fired. He killed more than 30 people among the thousands of troops. He killed them so hard that the Jin army abandoned their helmets and armor and gave up the ferry!"

"Not only that, he also held the ferry alone, becoming more and more courageous as he fought, repelling wave after wave of reinforcements from the Jin army for six hours."

"When the Jin army was at its peak, there were 150,000 people in formation, but he was killed by him alone and routed them for 200 miles."

"In the end, the Tufa clan crossed the river without losing a single soldier. The Jin army collapsed and fled south. The young man's formation killed 100,000 people, which shocked the world."

Yan Nu murmured: "He killed one hundred thousand people by himself?"

Shen Leling said solemnly: "Maybe some of them are deserters. Anyway, Gou Xi finally gathered the defeated army and found that he only had 100,000 soldiers left."

"Whether it's true that the formation can kill a hundred thousand people, I think it must be possible to kill ten thousand people. So much so that the battlefield is littered with corpses, and the evil aura is so overwhelming that it attracts countless evil spirits. I was injured by those guys who went over to snatch food. I just fled all the way south to get here."

“The young man’s name is ‘Bald Yake’, he is the sixth son of ‘Bald Tree Function’, the chief of the Bald Tribe, and he is the strongest mortal I have ever seen!”

"I feel that even a monk in the period of calamity would not dare to fight him regardless of the mortal fire! That bloody sword energy is too terrifying!"

"And it was too easy. He only used one hand. I suspect he didn't use all his strength..."

Yan Nu murmured: "Would Aweng go to the battlefield and fight with such people?"

"So I said he is dead." Shen Leling said.

However, Yan Nu forced out a smile: "Aren't there many people who survived?"

Shen Leling shook his head and said: "Those who survived were all warriors who ran fast when they saw that the situation was bad. The army passed through tens of thousands of people. Many of them did not see the enemy behind them. They only saw the bloody light rising into the sky. The front army was defeated and they dispersed. escaped."

"That's right! Aweng works as a handyman in the army and must be in the rear. He escaped safely!" Yan Nu said excitedly.

He matched Shen Leling's words with Uncle Hong's words, and he seemed to have seen Aweng return home, even if he was a deserter.

"You...why are you so stubborn! What if you, Aweng, come back! Aren't you still a pariah?" Shen Leling was very annoyed.

Yan Nu said solemnly: "Aweng wants me to be good and wait for him here...I can't let Aweng not see me when he comes back."

"Would you rather stay and be a slave? Would you rather be tortured to death here? Don't come with me?" Shen Leling felt incredible.

Yan Nu thought about it and said, "Well, if I hang myself for three days, I won't die."

Shen Leling was very angry: "Well, you are big! That person named Liao will definitely kill you!"

Yan Nu frowned: "Are you sure? No, he doesn't mean what he says. If it's true as you said, I will break free from the chains and run away, hiding in the tea mountain to wait for him..."

"How could you escape!" The body of Shen Leling's boarding coach Ma couldn't help but feel swollen and twisted.

Yan Nu said firmly: "Okay!"

Speaking of this, he said to Shen Leling: "Thanks to your magical power, when I escape, remember to go to the mulberry forest southwest of Chashan Mountain, and I will dig spring water for you."

"Spring water?" Shen Leling was stunned.

"Didn't you drink up the spring on the mountain?"

"So what!"

"You saved me once, but I don't know how to repay you. There was a clear spring in Sanlin ten years ago, but it was buried by the castle owner. You like to drink spring water, no matter how deep it is, I will dig it for you!"

Hearing this, Shen Leling was a little stunned.

Finally, he snorted softly and hurriedly waved his sleeves and left: "Huh! No need, just hang here! I don't care about you anymore!"

p.s: Sorry. Tomorrow I will leave the prison forever.
