Piao Miao journey

Chapter 6 Cultivation
Li Qiang didn't expect Zhao Hao's foundation to be so poor. Seeing this old apprentice who was older than his father have such a strong desire for knowledge, Li Qiang couldn't bear to fool him.

After inquiring about Zhao Hao's cultivation process in detail, Li Qiang was surprised to find that with only half-knowledge, based on martial arts kung fu, he searched for teachers and friends everywhere, collected cultivation methods from all possible places, and insisted on cultivating to the consecration stage. He could not help admiring him and moved.

Li Qiang decided to teach him to practice.

Although Li Qiang has just started to practice, the conditions are very good. Not only has Zi Yanxin laid an excellent foundation, but also the Jade Pupil Slips given by Fu Shan, which is equivalent to the classics of Fu Shan's sect. Various.Compared with Zhao Hao, there is a difference between heaven and earth.

Zhao Hao had a deviation in the first step of his cultivation, and after more than 30 years of practice, it is already very dangerous for him to forcibly enter the consecration period.

Li Qiang can only let him start again from the recovery period, and tell him how to practice.At this point, Zhao Hao realized that the previous effort was wasted.

The period of rotation is the most fundamental method for cultivators to build a foundation, and it is very important for future cultivation.When practicing, you need to use five types of cultivation stones, namely gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, to form a "small universe" with your body as an array, and slowly absorb it from the outside to the inside, so that you can gradually change your physique and adapt to your energy. Use energy and make it work skillfully.

As soon as Zhao Hao figured it out, he immediately asked to practice.

"Master, this disciple is cultivating in the Kun position of the defensive formation, what do you think?" Zhao Hao was full of energy.

Li Qiang said with a smile: "Go and explain to your family first. You don't know when you will wake up after sitting down to practice. I also want to finish the next few things."

Entering the practice again, Li Qiang had to admire Fu Shan's wonderful idea.The shape of this hand crossbow is like an eagle flying high with wings, it is only the size of a palm and can be attached to the back of the hand. The attack array in the hand crossbow is so delicate that Li Qiang is almost unable to strike.

Li Qiang understood that the smaller the formation, the higher the requirements for the practitioners.Small things have little room for display, such as swords, which are the most difficult to make. It is absolutely impossible for non-masters to completely design an attack formation in a sword body that is only eight inches long or even smaller.

Fortunately, Fu Shan had already completed the formation, all that was lacking was energy. Li Qiang filled up the energy to activate the formation, modified the shape of the hand crossbow slightly, and completed his second weapon training.

Then practice the spear.This long spear is rather peculiar, about two meters long, with a one-meter blade, and it is made of eight blades superimposed, and the blade can rotate like a fan blade.This time Li Qiang didn't spend much effort, and quickly completed the training. He just added barbs to each blade, purely for the sake of looking good.

The last thing to practice is the treasured sword given to Zhao Hao.Li Qiang hesitated in his heart, there were several knives in the bracelet, but Zhao Hao's cultivation level was not enough, the sword owner had to infuse energy into it for cultivation, otherwise it would be impossible to control it at all.If it is not practiced, it is no different from ordinary steel knives.

After thinking for a long time, Li Qiang thought of a compromise.He took out a three-foot precious sword, first changed the attack array in the blade into a simple energy storage array, embedded four earth and water-based fairy stones as the foundation, as long as Zhao Hao transported a little real energy into it, the sword would be invincible, But the threat to cultivators is not great.

Li Qiang found that after practicing weapons for a long time, his practice seemed to have made a lot of progress, and his ability to control the true essence had also been greatly improved, which made him very excited.

Seeing Zhao Hao at a glance, Li Qiang couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Hao was lying on the ground in a big shape, five fairy stones were hanging above his body and turning slowly, looking quite amusing.Li Qiang stretched out a sliver of his true energy, probed quietly, and was slightly startled.The small universe in Zhao Hao's body has already been formed, but his true energy is extremely weak. If these five low-grade immortal stones, he would have to cultivate until the year of the monkey to wake up.

Li Qiang couldn't wait impatiently, so he took out a top-grade "Red Flame Stone", urged his true essence to pour the energy from the fairy stone into Zhao Hao's body, and at the same time slightly modified the small universe formed in his body.Li Qiang's little effort brought great benefits to Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao opened his eyes, clearly knowing that everything has changed.

As Zhao Hao passed through the photo rotation period again, Zhao Hao started his first transformation. His snow-white hair, eyebrows and beard turned black from the root of his hair, and the wrinkles and age spots on his face disappeared quickly.Watching him rapidly transform from an old man into a middle-aged man, Li Qiang was surprised again, thinking: "It seems that all cultivators can't judge age from appearance." Zhao Hao was surprised, but also admired Li Qiang pole.

Zhao Hao knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed: "Disciple respects and thank Master."

Li Qiang sighed and said: "Oh, I am most afraid of kneeling to me, but you just want to do this. If you do this again, I will, I will drive you out of the door! Get up quickly, this is the precious sword for you."

After kowtowing meticulously, Zhao Hao got up and said: "Master, courtesy cannot be discarded!" Surprise flashed in Zhao Hao's eyes after receiving the precious sword, and he said repeatedly: "Good sword! Good sword!" Li Qiang said with a smile: "You Try to transport the real yuan in."

The treasured sword emitted a misty blue light, and the blade seemed to be flowing like mercury, and the shaking was both real and illusory.Zhao Hao sighed: "After all, it is a magic weapon of the immortal family, it is indeed extraordinary."

Li Qiang said: "Okay, let's go out. I don't know how long you have been practicing?" Putting away the defensive formation, the two walked out of the room.

The noise was almost overwhelming.

"Come out, come out, hurry up and call the boss, Master Li and the old man are out of customs!"

Zhao Hao frowned: "Why are you so surprised, so unruly, call Degui over here."

Li Qiang felt that the atmosphere was not right, and asked, "What happened?"

"Hanlin City is under siege!"

"The head of the family comes here every day, we can't go into the house, our voices are hoarse!"

"Yes, yes, even the magistrate has come several times."

Just as he was chattering, Zhao Degui ran over in a hurry.

"Father, Mr. Li, that's great! Finally came out, and the magistrate almost drove me crazy. Hey! Dad, you have become younger." Zhao Hao raised his hand and gave Zhao Degui a note, cursing: "Speak There is no beginning and no end, it’s a mess. Why panic! Let’s talk in the room.” He bowed to Li Qiang and said, “Master, please sit in the room first.”

To the north of Hanlin City is the Sighing Forest, to the northwest is the red rocky mountain range, to the west is the desolate Gobi Desert, and to the southeast is the famous Green Basin.Therefore, Hanlin City was also an important military fortress of the Song Dynasty.

In the desolate Gobi Desert in the west, there is a fierce and cruel bandit army called "Black Flag Army". Their leader is En Gang, who is also said to be a cultivator with high martial arts skills.He has seven banner generals under his command, all of them are ruthless, each with 3000 people, all of them are all cavalry, they come and go like the wind, they specialize in robbing passing caravans, and sometimes harassing and looting the border.

This time they came to grab Hanlin City, and this time there were four banner generals, more than 1 people.

Just as Zhao Degui finished introducing the situation, a young servant rushed into the house in a panic and shouted, "It's not good, the city is broken!"

After all, Zhao Hao is the owner of the silver building, and he has been used to storms for more than 70 years.He looked at Li Qiang and said, "Master, forgive me for being presumptuous." Li Qiang nodded.

Li Qiang was calm on the surface, but his heart was already turned upside down.He has never experienced war. Although he has seen movies and novels, it is just to watch. This time he has to face it in person, and he really doesn't know what to do.

"Degui, you gather the whole family, old and young, in the yard. Don't bring too many things, and hide all the valuables. Everyone prepare their weapons and go!" Zhao Hao said to a warrior-looking man: "Yi Brother Feng, go and recruit your subordinates, prepare more powerful crossbows and three carriages, and we will retreat from the east gate."

The whole Hanlin City was in chaos, thick smoke was billowing in the sky, the streets were noisy, and war horses neighed in the distance.

Li Qiang didn't know what to do, and he was ready to fire in a hurry. He was secretly glad that he didn't slack off and finished refining the three weapons, but it was a pity that the battle armor was too late to practice.Yang put on the "Red Flame Dragon Shield" in his hand, buckled the "Eagle Strike Crossbow", and held the "Hundred Blade Spear" upside down in his right hand, and his mind immediately settled down.

With the weapon on and behind him, Li Qiang's whole person is different, and his powerful aura slowly radiates with the rhythm of his breathing.Zhao Hao felt a heavy pressure forcing him to retreat again and again, and his awe of Li Qiang deepened in his heart. "Master, when the Black Banner Army breaks down the city, it is customary to massacre the city. You must be merciful."

Zhao Hao's decades of experience is not just for fun, he is an old fox, seeing Li Qiang hastily loaded his weapon, he knew that he must have never experienced combat, so he couldn't help but remind him.He was not worried about Li Qiang's safety, knowing that he would have no problem protecting himself.

After a while all the people gathered, Zhao Hao commanded Ruo Ding: "Brother Yifeng, you lead the way ahead with your sword and shield hand. Degui, you bring a strong crossbowman to protect the carriage, and use a strong crossbow to support you Yifeng at any time Uncle, after I lead a team of gunners, do you understand?" It seems that this is not the first time that the people in Yinlou have experienced this kind of thing, and it seems that they have been trained so that they can be so calm and composed.

"Father, your old man is here to command the strong crossbowman, and I'll be the queen!" Zhao Degui was anxious.

"You bastard, your kung fu is better than mine? Are you broken? It's not like you don't know the impact of the Black Banner Army. Try it on the tour of Piaomiao. Can you stop it? You bastard." Zhao Hao scolded.

"Aren't you worried about you?" Zhao Degui muttered.

"Hey, what am I doing!" Li Qiang thought: "I should be considered a master. Although I have never learned martial arts, I have good weapons. Besides, the apprenticeship is my business."

How could Zhao Hao let go of such a master: "Master, you are in the middle, and you will rescue wherever the situation is dangerous, do you think it will work?"

"Okay, that's it." Li Qiang was very satisfied.

Li Qiang held the Hundred Blades Spear upside down and stood on the roof of the carriage in the middle. He thought it was pretty cool.

Turning a street, there was thunderous hoofbeats from the west road, and the Black Banner Army had arrived.

Zhao Hao loudly commanded the entire team to withdraw to the east, while he led more than 20 spearmen to stand guard at the intersection.He wanted to hold back the Black Banner Army and buy time.

The carriage gradually moved away from Zhao Hao's spear team.Li Qiang thought it wrong, he couldn't see it, how could he cope?He flew out of the car and said to Zhao Degui, "You guys go first, I'll help you dad."

Hurrying back to the intersection, he saw Zhao Hao wielding his treasured sword and struggling to fight from a distance.

The two flag generals rushed over, and the spearmen all looked ashen. Zhao Hao knew something was wrong, and shouted: "Steady!" He raised his knife and rushed forward.

The two banners coming from the Black Banner Army will be Lei Banner General Yuanba, who will be ranked third in the middle of the flag, and Han Jingtian, who will be ranked sixth in the middle of the flag.

Lei Qi roared at Yuanba like thunder: "Haha! Sixth, there is a man who wants to die, look at me and cut him off." He urged his mount to swing the thick-backed machete in his hand.

What Yuanba and Han Jingtian didn't expect was that they hit the iron plate this time, and there was a bigger iron plate coming here.

Zhao Hao had a nickname called "Crazy Sword" when he was young, and he was crazy and desperate when fighting.Looking at the thick back knife that Yuanba chopped off, a sneer appeared on his face, and he shouted: "Well done!" As soon as he mentioned the freshly cultivated true energy, the treasured knife in his hand suddenly raised up, he deliberately wanted to head-on, try The power of the new knife.

Xue Qi saw that Han Jingtian was not good, and shouted: "Yuanba be careful, that is a precious sword." He jumped off the horse, drew his sword and stepped forward to make a rescue.

There was a loud bang, and the energy was scattered in all directions.Zhao Hao didn't expect that, with only one slash, the famous general of the Black Banner Army fell off his horse, and Han Jingtian was also forced back, his confidence soared, and he laughed loudly: "Haha, hey! This road is dead." The spearmen saw The owner of the house is so majestic, everyone is in good spirits.

Yuanba was scared out of his wits, if it wasn't for Han Jingtian's reminder, he would almost have died. "Where did you come from, the treasured sword in your hand is so good." Greedy thoughts surged in my heart.

Yuanba and Han Jingtian looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Boys, let's go together."

Zhao Hao yelled and cursed, secretly complaining in his heart, he was not afraid, the spearman he brought would be finished.He swung his sword angrily, and rushed into the enemy group again.

The spearmen were no match for the Black Banner Army, who had experienced many battles. As soon as they came into contact, seven or eight of them were killed or injured.Just when he was feeling desperate, an invisible pressure pushed over, and someone screamed: "Everyone, don't panic, the old man is here."

The spearmen were stunned to see that golden eagles that were only the size of a palm flew out of Li Qiang's hands, hovered in the air for a while, and then swooped down quickly. Inside the body of the Black Banner Army soldier, the body of the soldier exploded immediately.In an instant, none of the Black Banner Army who besieged the spearman was spared.

"Hurry up and chase the team ahead, I'm here." Li Qiang ordered, holding back the sadness of the first murder.Li Qiang never thought that the Eagle Crossbow was so powerful. He just tried it and killed 31 Black Banner Army soldiers, and it was too late to stop.

Zhao Hao said happily: "Master, you stay at the intersection, there are disciples here, haha." The old man is really rejuvenated.

Lei Qi made Yuanba's eyes red, and he was about to fight Li Qiang with a knife. It was Han Jingtian who calmed down, grabbed him, and persuaded: "Third brother, don't be impulsive. This person is not something you or I can deal with. Let's retreat first." , come to the banner owner." He raised his voice and shouted: "All you guys stand down. Hey, the two masters dare to leave their names!"

Zhao Hao laughed loudly and said: "Don't change your name if you are a man, and don't change your surname if you sit down. Remember, this old man is mad at Zhao Hao! As for my master, you don't deserve to ask! Haha, haha." Zhao Hao is so happy, he has never been like this Happy and comfortable.

Seeing the Black Banner Army of the brigade receding like a tide, Li Qiang smiled wryly and said, "Let's chase the team."

At this time, the black flag army all over the city had already begun to loot and massacre wantonly.

Walking east along the street, the scene along the way made Li Qiang feel like hell, with dead bodies everywhere, and many seriously injured people screaming wildly.After the soldiers of the Black Banner Army finished looting, they set fire again, causing fireworks everywhere.

Zhao Hao slashed to death a soldier of the Black Banner Army who came out of the house with a big bag, and said: "Master, don't worry, there will be a big battle here every ten years, and I'm used to it." Li Qiang thought with a wry smile: You are used to it, but I am not used to it at all.

"Hey, isn't that Fatty Qi's clothing store?" Li Qiang still remembered this clothing store, it was the first store he entered after entering Hanlin City.Walking through the door, Li Qiang immediately saw soldiers of the Black Banner Army inside.

"My lord, please, don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want, woo woo... woo, God! Please have mercy."

"Woo... woo... Father, they dragged my mother inside. Please let my mother go... woo..."

"Haha, the captain is entering the bridal chamber. Brothers, if anyone wants to be the first best man, sign up."

A shrill scream came, followed by a wave of cursing: "Stinky bitch, how dare you bite me and hack you to death, damn it!"

"The child's mother... ah!"

Li Qiang had never personally experienced such a tragedy. A nameless fire shot straight into his forehead, and he rushed in sideways.Zhao Hao hastily followed in.

Li Qiang was mad with anger, the Hundred Blades Spear shot out countless energy spikes, and the crisp eagle cry made people tremble even more.

Zhao Hao shuddered, even a man who had experienced many battles was frightened.The soldiers of the Black Banner Army in the room were mutilated, and the room was full of broken bones and rotten flesh, with blood flowing freely.

"Master Li..."

Fatty Qi sat on the ground with his arms around an eight or nine-year-old boy, crying loudly.
