Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

Chapter 289 Overlord’s Halberd Technique, Thousands of Miles Away

In the time that followed, the three of them climbed mountains one after another. Zhuocuo was also fighting again and again to polish his martial arts. As his strength grew, he gradually adapted to the weight of the halberd, and the remaining halberd techniques Learned them all.

"Teacher, I have now finished learning this set of halberd techniques. What is the name of this method?"

Zhuocuo was now naked and washing the blood from his body next to a creek.

This halberd method was originally created by Jiang You. There is no name. Jiang You was playing the strings of the guqin. He thought for a moment and said without raising his head: "Let's call it Overlord Halberd!"

The previous strings were broken during the battle. Jiang You personally went out in the past few days and carefully selected a pair of purple strings for the guqin.

As the strings were pulled, the sound of the piano also sounded faintly in the mountains at night.

After Renzeng, who had been meditating, heard the sound of the piano, he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang You, thinking, "I didn't expect that Mr. Jiang has such superb piano skills."

Zhuo Cuo cleaned his body and returned to the bonfire. He was supposed to be standing at this time. After hearing the sound of Jiang You's piano, he couldn't help but listen to Jiang You's music quietly. He had never heard the guqin before. I can't say whether it's good or bad, but after listening to it intuitively, the mental fatigue accumulated during the past few days of fighting was washed away by the sound of the piano, and my whole body felt a lot more relaxed.

After Jiang You finished playing a piece of music, Zhuo Cuo woke up from the sound of the piano. He thought to himself that he was now relaxed and quickly stood up.

The three of them walked in the mountains for many days, and finally saw a city in the distance. Jiang You and Renzeng didn't feel anything else. Only Zhuocuo lived in the wild for a long time for the first time, and the other two people almost didn't. He didn't talk much and spent most of his time doing his own things, which made Zhuocuo feel uncomfortable. So after seeing the city, he was very excited and even took a shower tonight.

In the early morning of the next day, Cannes welcomed a strange man.

Walking at the front was a tall young man with messy long hair. His dark face was a touch of plateau red. It could be seen from his high eyebrows and bridge of his nose that he was a Tibetan. He was wearing dirty clothes. He was wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket with an invisible background and a pair of extremely bright eyes. He looked around in the city like a bumpkin who had just entered the city.

But the big halberd carried behind the young man's back really gave him a heroic aura, so even though his face showed timidity, the gangsters in the city did not look for him immediately, and planned to observe him secretly first. Let’s talk about it later.

Soon, two more figures walked out from behind the young man.

If the young man brought fear to the residents of the city, then the lama in red walking behind him brought them fright.

The man had a thin figure, and half of his bare arms were originally rough and wrinkled skin, while the other half was freshly stretched, pink skin and flesh. The contrast was sharp, making people feel a strange feeling in their hearts first, and then looking at it. The face is even more terrifying.

Half of his face is no different from that of an evil spirit. If there wasn't someone accompanying him, people in the city would have immediately thought that something strange had entered the city.

Wherever they looked, residents retreated in fright, and some children were so frightened that they cried.

As for the young man riding on the donkey in the back, his temperament is incompatible with the two in front. He is wearing a loose robe with blue cloud patterns. From the faint luster reflected in the sun, we know that the fabric of the clothes is expensive, white and delicate. His skin was as soft as a freshly shelled egg, and he lay lazily on the donkey's back. He carried a long sword behind his back, his eyes were half open and half closed, as if he had just woken up, looking like a handsome nobleman returning from an outing.

As for the donkey, which was as strong as a horse, it was ignored in the presence of these three people.

Those who were observing in secret naturally felt a little timid when Renzeng and Jiang You appeared.

But looking at Jiang You's luxurious clothes, I guessed that some noble young master from the past hired a bodyguard to rush on his way. He is definitely rich in wealth. If he can get this job, he will go far away from home in the future. In this world, no matter how powerful his background is, he still has a lot of money. Can you run into the wilderness to hunt yourself down?

"Boss, the idea is tricky!"

"There are still fat sheep in this world. The ones who don't prick their hands. We are just doing business with our heads in our belts. Why are we afraid?"

"Afraid. What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid! Then just do this!"

"Don't worry, let's check the situation again!"

The leader was secretly spying on the three of them. Suddenly, the evil-looking lama suddenly turned his face away. The blood-red eyes embedded in his eye sockets looked directly at the leader from seven to eighty meters away. .

I saw the man suddenly startled and then stood still.

I waited for the three people to walk across the street, but there was no response.

"Boss, what do you think? Do you want to start tonight?"

"Boss? Boss?"

The person behind him asked to see if his boss was not moving, so he patted him from behind. With this pat, the man fell backwards and fell straight up.

Everyone suddenly panicked, and saw that their boss had his eyes closed, his teeth clenched, and his face was livid, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.

“Although it’s a small town, there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants!”

Jiang You spoke on the horse. Zhuo Cuo, who was walking in front, heard Jiang You speak and hurried over, "Teacher, what did you say?"

Erenzeng, who was next to him, said: "That person has a lot of karma, so of course when he meets a lama, he will help him to liberate him!"

Jiang You smiled in his heart, "I didn't notice this lama in the no-man's land before, but as soon as he entered the city, he was saved. He is quite murderous."

The three of them walking on the street can basically achieve the effect of clearing the street. No one dares to walk in front of the three of them. The vendors setting up stalls and doing small business on both sides are also shrinking their necks in fear. They want to run away, but they are reluctant to leave their stalls. He ran ten meters away and watched from a distance.

Renzen saw a stall selling bamboo hats and asked Zhuocuo to go over and buy him a bamboo hat.

After hearing this, Zhuo Cuo walked to the stall in a few strides and asked at the top of his lungs: "Whose stall is this? Where is the boss? How do you sell bamboo hats?"

"Lao Li, your stall!"

Among the people gathered not far away, one person pushed a middle-aged man.

"Oops, why did you choose my stall!"

The man saw that Zhuo Cuo's eyes were looking towards him, and he quickly shouted: "I'm giving it to you, you can take it yourself!"

"Oh well!"

Zhuo Cuo was not polite and raised his hand to take off the bamboo hat. Just when he was about to turn around, he heard Jiang You's voice, "Give me money!"

"Oh!"

Zhuocuo wanted to touch his pocket, but as soon as he touched it, he realized where he had any money!
The man watched his words carefully, and when he saw Zhuocuo's expression, he knew what was going on and quickly added, "No money, no money, give it away, take it away!"

Zhuo Cuo's eyes widened, "The teacher said I'd give you money! I don't have any money to bring with me, so I'll give you something in exchange. It's definitely enough!"

Zhuocuo took out something and slapped it on the stall, took the bamboo hat and left.

After the three of them had gone away, the man dared to come over to check, and other stall owners followed suit.

"What is this?"

The man picked it up and saw that it was a milky white tooth.

"Spike tooth?"

"Let's go, Lao Li, can't these be the teeth of monsters? If they really are, you'll be crazy!" The people who came around took a look and saw that these teeth were as white as jade, with a cold glow at the tip, which was similar to those hanging in the shops. The monster teeth in the photos are almost the same.

"A broken bamboo hat in exchange for a monster tooth, Lao Li, you are so unlucky!"

"That's right, I was complaining just now that I chose your stall. My stall also has bamboo hats. Why didn't you choose me?"

Suddenly, the crowd became noisy.

After Rigzin put on his bamboo hat and hid his face, the residents in the city behind him behaved much better, at least they didn't make people shy away.

This place is at the junction of Qin Province and Shu Province, with mountains and wilderness in front, and Qinbei in the back. There are no powerful awakening organizations stationed here, and only a few small local organizations maintain order here.

After a few people walked around the city and asked Zhuo Cuo to exchange some daily necessities such as his own clothes, they did not stay long and went directly to Qin Province.

The landform of northern Qin is what most people think of the Loess Plateau, with plateaus, beams, hills and ditches scattered everywhere.

Jiang You was also the first to come to Qinbei. The power of Yama here has always been relatively weak. Jiang You had doubts before, why Guanzhong and Qinnan were basically flat, but when he arrived in Qinbei, there were only a few branches.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I realize that it is not that Yama is not strong enough, but that this place is too fragmented by the terrain. Transportation was originally inconvenient, and now the situation is even more serious. The straight-line distance between the two places is only a few kilometers, and if there is a ditch in the middle, it will It takes four or five hours to detour.

Of course, these are not big problems for the three of them. Jiang You looked around. At this time, the setting sun was slanting, and all he could see was a piece of barren, soft, yellow land. When the wind blew, the sky was filled with loess, and there were large areas of dead hair on the roadside. The trees are dark and there is no green at all.

Jiang You stretched out his hand on the donkey's back, and a handful of loess flew into his hand. He rubbed it and found that the soil was extremely dry and rough.

"This place is so dry and barren!"

Zhuocuo, a herdsman from Tibet, was surprised by the barrenness here.

Jiang You didn't say much, he just accelerated his forward speed.

Along the way, there were only long-abandoned cities half-buried in the loess and villages that collapsed into ruins.

Jiang You simply asked Zhuo Cuo to ride the donkey behind him. He and Renzeng released their speed and rushed all the way towards a city he knew where Yama was located.

This is not a vast and sparsely populated Tibetan area with a large number of uninhabited areas. It is a densely populated central area. The fact that there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles is enough for Jiang You to take it seriously.

After letting go of their speed, the three of them traveled for two days and finally arrived at Yushi.

As soon as the three of them arrived, they saw a long line of trucks parked on the street. Loudspeakers on both sides were broadcasting circular messages for citizens to evacuate in an orderly manner. Thickly packed and unkempt citizens boarded the trucks in an orderly manner under the guidance of some officers in black uniforms.

Those black clothes were different from the uniforms of the Yamas. Jiang You took a closer look and saw a golden circle printed on his left chest, with the words "Right Path Alliance" printed in the circle.

"A person sent by the Righteous Alliance to perform a mission! It seems that the Righteous Alliance has developed quite rapidly during his absence."

The people who were evacuating suddenly saw three people walking in from outside the city. The disciples of the Righteous Alliance suddenly became vigilant. A team of five people immediately came up for questioning, and two other teams raised their guns in the distance.

Zhuo Cuo immediately got off the donkey, walked to the front, took out the halberd, pointed the halberd forward, and made a hand gesture with angry eyes.

"Who is he? Where are he from? Is he registered?"

"Zhuo Cuo, one of our own, come back!"

Jiang You spoke. After hearing Jiang You's words, Zhuo Cuo put up his big halberd and stepped back.

Jiang Youdu came to the front and said, "Do you know me?"

"You? You are. Are you Young Master Jiang You?"

The disciples of the Righteous Alliance are a mixed team composed of disciples drawn from various sects in the alliance. They have all seen the photos of their own alliance’s senior leaders and know what they are aware of. Not to mention, the number of Yama disciples is the largest among them, so the captain quickly He recognized Jiang You.

"Let the person in charge of this place come over!"

"Yes, young master!"

"Teacher, what is Young Master? Why do they call you Young Master?"

"Oh, I am one of the top leaders of the Yama organization in Qin Province, and Lord Yama is my grandfather!"

Jiang You explained to Zhuo Cuo, then turned to Renzeng and said, "But don't worry, the college you go to is independent and does not belong to any organization!"

Rigzin nodded, it was okay to join an academy to promote Hinayana Buddhism, but it would not be to his liking if he joined an organization.

Soon, a vigorous and capable man, a middle-aged monk, and a woman with sharp eyebrows hurried from the front to salute Jiang You.

The leader is a member of the Yama Lomen, the woman is a disciple of the embroidery workshop, and the monk is a disciple of the Daci'en Temple.

Jiang You asked about the situation here, and then he learned that Qinbei was suffering from drought, and there was no water for a long time. Human beings could no longer survive. They retreated again and again, all the way to Yucheng, but they still couldn't. Finally, the alliance decided to abandon Yucheng and retreat to Guanzhong. .

"Drought, or something strange?"

"An investigation team has been dispatched before. After investigation, no such situation was found! The fifth master also personally investigated this matter, but also found nothing!"

"Oh?"

Jiang You's previous guess was that it was strange. After all, the current situation in Qinbei was not much different from the legendary Hanbao's birth and Chidi Qianli.

"Is it really a natural disaster?"

Jiang You was silent. If it was a drought demon, just find it and kill it. But if it was a natural disaster, there was really no way. After all, manpower was limited. Even if you use a large formation to forcefully change the climate, it would only be done in one place for a while, and it would not last long. Moreover, It is not cost-effective to consume a lot of resources for this, and withdrawing from this place is indeed the wisest choice.

"The Fifth Master has already been here, so it's basically a natural disaster!"

Afterwards, the three of them started to arrange a banquet to welcome Jiang You. Of course, this initiative was proposed by the people of Yama.

Jiang You refused and asked them to seize the time to evacuate the citizens first. This was the first priority.

After a few people took the order, Jiang You asked about the safety issues along the way and learned that the disciples of the Righteous Alliance had opened up a safe route and set up ten strongholds. After the convoy left, they would retreat one by one.

After that, Jiang You asked Zhuo Cuo to follow them and arrange Zhuo Cuo to a front-line combat position. After the matter was over, he was sent to Zhanyuan College.

Renzin beside him suddenly spoke at this time, saying that he was also acting with Zhuocuo to protect the living people.

Of course Jiang You agreed, everything was arranged, and Jiang You rode his donkey towards Fengxian.
