Chapter 297 Skeletons in a Foreign Land
"The one on the left is the horned dragon armor, and the one on the right is the Xuanzhu Jade Robe? General, which one do you like better?"

"Sister, let your husband bring both of them. You can use them for washing on weekdays."

It was most difficult to bear the beauty's kindness, so Lin Dong grabbed the two treasured clothes in his hands and rubbed them gently for a while.

"this."

Lin Dong pointed his finger and said.

These two pieces of treasure clothing are included in the arsenal's evaluation of rare objects.

However, the Xuanzhu Jade Robe is too fancy. The color of the robe is brilliant, emitting a faint precious light, and the shape is exquisite. There are white pearls inlaid on both sides of the armor. Especially at night, it is extremely gorgeous and bright.

This item is nice, but the problem is that Lin Dong is going to fight, not a rich man traveling.

The other piece of horned dragon armor is much simpler. The armor is soft and tough, close-fitting and comfortable. The outer armor on both arms is also inlaid with pieces of horned dragon scales, making it impervious to water and fire.

Hei Shenchen looked quite majestic, which was recognized by Lin Dong.

[You have discovered a strange object, the horned dragon armor.The horned dragon, the spirit of the river, has a nine-note sound and will appear when it encounters the Lord of Light.The "big and small Ruyi magic" is applied to the armor, which can change with the change of body.During the battle, there is a certain chance that the soul of the horned dragon will be summoned to assist in the battle. 】

Lin Dong planned to store this treasured garment into Yin Earth.

"General, please bring both of them. When you miss me, wear the horned dragon armor. When you miss me, wear the mysterious robe."

Lu Ping'er made a final decision and threw the two treasure clothes into the crack opened by the Yin soil.

"Wait a minute, sister, let your husband put it on first and let us see."

Lu Xiaoxiao suggested excitedly.

"Uh, okay."

Lin Dong thought that he was leaving anyway, so it was appropriate to finally satisfy their little wish, so he stood in front of the two women and let them manipulate him.

After putting on the majestic battle armor, Lu Ping'er rolled up her hair on her face, stared at Lin Dong with her black and white eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"General, why don't you take us with you."

Her face turned red, which was very eye-catching in the cold morning light.

Lin Dong didn't speak. Silence was the greatest rejection.

Lu Xiaoxiao stretched out her arms to wrap around the big bastard from behind, closed her eyes, hugged the cold armor, put her toes on her toes, and gently sniffed the traces of breath on Lin Dong's neck.

Lin Dong stood quietly for a while, feeling a little sad.

"Be good, it's not like you won't come back? How come it's like saying goodbye between life and death?" It was such a scumbag statement, but he knew deep down in his heart that after leaving, he probably wouldn't come back again.

Lu Ping'er threw herself into his arms from the front and hugged him tightly: "The feeling of separation is really bad."

Lin Dong stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lu Ping'er's hair, "How about I take you with me?" Such words were about to blurt out subconsciously, but when he reached his mouth, he abruptly changed his words: "Actually, every separation is for the sake of getting better. What a good place to meet." Lin Dong didn't believe it when he told it, but he couldn't emphasize it to the two women - you'd better forget about me, because I'm going to be a widow soon?
The headache was a real headache. Lin Dong was not a blockhead, so he must have feelings.

It's just that compared to the so-called man's daughter, he has what he considers to be a more important goal to pursue and explore.

"General, I'm so scared, so scared! I'm worried that you won't even be willing to give us your status before you separate from us."

Lu Ping'er murmured softly, hugging Lin Dong tighter and tighter.

These words were like lightning striking Lin Dong. He was stunned, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he smiled stiffly: "Why do you think so, idiot?"

In fact, Lin Dong didn't quite understand.

Although the physical communication between him and Lu's twins was profound, logically speaking, there should be no particularly deep emotional resonance.

Even though a lot of things happened during the escort journey, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?
What he can be clear about is that he likes the two girls, and this love is the same as loving the weapons floating in the temple in the underworld.

But Lu Ping'er and Lu Xiaoxiao seemed to love her.

This kind of emotional dislocation actually only causes discomfort, making both parties feel uncomfortable.

A ray of sunlight from the window shone into the house and spread over the three of them.

After hugging each other in silence for a long time, Lu Xiaoxiao, the brainless person, suddenly said: "Sister, you are so treacherous. This time I want to go to the front."

One sentence pierced the faint sadness flowing in the air.

……

The plum blossoms of a tree bloomed in the cold weather, and the branches were as white as jade. The snowflakes were not as thin as plum blossoms. When the wind blew, the flakes fell and fell on the light and thin ice of the water stream, close to the water stream.

Beside the stream, there is a long flag with black characters on a white background, which reads "The best chess in the world!".

The flags and flags were rustling in the wind, and some scholars gathered around to play games with the people placing the dishes.

After Zuo Zongtang finished handling today's military affairs, he planned to walk along the river bank to relax his mood. However, even while walking on the road, he couldn't help but think about the big and small matters of the expedition.

"If I set up a manufacturing bureau in Lanzhou Prefecture, I can save a lot of work. The craftsmen will be mobilized from the southeast coast. I just wonder if Li Shaoquan will hinder it."

"Europa has screw cannons, and the New World has seven-breech guns. I wonder if they can be imitated with today's craftsmanship? If there are not enough firearms, it will be extremely troublesome to transport the mountain-splitting cannon..."

The mountain-splitting cannon is a firearm that appeared during the Qianlong period and is still in use today.

Bai Zun splits the mountain like a big cannon. He eats half a catty of eggs at a time, and half a catty of them can travel four or five miles.

This kind of artillery is the standard equipment of the Chu army. It has no fixed size. The smallest one weighs about forty kilograms, and the largest one weighs several hundred kilograms.

Compared with this backward weapon, the seven-shot breech gun transported by the Wu family from across the ocean is what Zuo Zongtang most wants to equip the entire army. It is currently one of the most advanced equipment and can be loaded directly from the back. , launched seven times in a row, easy to carry, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

At least half of fighting a war involves fighting for national strength and the supply of soldiers and horses.

Zuo Zongtang, who had spent half his life in the military, knew this very well. The problem was that the seven-shot gun was extremely expensive, and the best battalions under his command were equipped with less than a quarter.

"Also, the Green Cannon is too scarce. The entire army has not got many of them. There was another problem with the embassy two days ago. I wonder if the loan from Sunset Bank can still be borrowed?"

Zuo Zongtang frowned, and while walking along the river bank, he heard the sound of boiling.

"Hey, it's rare to see such excitement. What are these people doing?"

Zuo Zongtang took a closer look and felt that the words "the best chess player in the world" were a bit harsh.

The person who arranged the dishes was an old man with eyebrows slanting into his temples. The raincoat he wore was stained with snow and mud.

But just by squatting on the ground, a calm and powerful aura hit him.

There were quite a few scholars watching the chess games and discussions, but few dared to compete with the old man.

"Fat brother, do you dare to make a move?"

Lu Shang's question aroused Zuo Zongtang's fiery temper.

Zuo Zongtang has a strong physique and handsome appearance. What he usually hates most is when people say he is fat. This is almost the same as pointing at his nose and swearing at others.

At this moment, Zuo Zongtang's beard and hair were spread out, his face was filled with fire, and he looked quite mysterious.

"Number one in the world? What a big statement. If you can't defeat me, you will take off this flag."

Zuo Zongtang said angrily.

"it is good."

Lu Shang agreed immediately.

The two played a game, and within a few moments, Lu Shang was killed and defeated.

"You're a madman, it seems you're nothing more than that."

Zuo Zongtang stroked his beard and said with a smile, this person is so popular that he thought he was a hermit master somewhere, but after making the move, he slaughtered the opponent's dragon in just a moment.After this calculation, it turned out that this person was a silver-like pewter spear head, and Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"The commander-in-chief has won."

Lu Shang said with admiration.

"Since I have won, you must not hit this world's best bannerman again."

Zuo Zongtang felt proud and relaxed.

"it is good."

Lu Shang nodded without saying much. With a flick of his finger, sword energy burst out.

The banner of "No. [-] in the world" was cut off in response.

Zuo Zongtang's eyes couldn't help but condense, and he said in his heart: "What a good method."

Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Shang stretched, grabbed the bamboo hat on the ground, knocked it on his head, ignored the chessboard, and left directly as if ashamed.

"Hello, sir."

Seeing this scene, Zuo Zongtang knew that he had met an expert, so he quickly called out.

Unexpectedly, within a few breaths, Lu Shang's figure had disappeared in front of people.

The other end of the plum tree.

"My husband, you did this, even asking my father to plead for mercy, just to cheer up Zuo Gong?"

Lu Xiaoxiao muttered.

"Where do you think the Western Region is?"

"Thousands of miles of desert are uninhabited, and a few oases are dotted among the sand like lonely spots. After traveling thousands of miles, the soldiers have to fight in unfamiliar environments. The pressure on the supply lines is beyond ordinary people's imagination."

"From Suzhou Prefecture to Hami in the Western Region, there is only one road for supplies, and the length is almost the same as from Guangzhou Prefecture to the capital. On this way, it is freezing cold at night, scorching hot during the day, and the wind and sand blow on my face like a knife. A warrior like me, It’s okay, but you must know that the majority of those killed in the army are ordinary people..."

"I am certain of the victory of the war because of my peerless force..."

"But Mr. Zuo may not have such confidence."

"Of course, in front of people, he must look like a male fox cooked in the morning and a wolf cooked in the evening. But Zuo Gong is also a human being, not a god. Facing tens of thousands of white tiger troops and zombie soldiers, Agubai borrowed the power of the demon god of the Ottoman Empire The corps and all kinds of pressure, he may not be as optimistic as he appears at the moment."

Lin Dong said slowly. "Master Zuo, I am going on this expedition with the determination to fight to the death."

Finally, he sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Dong did not show up in front of Zuo Zongtang. After completing the task, he took the Lu sisters for a walk around, cherishing the last bit of time he spent with the two girls.

The sun gradually sets, the melted ice and snow gradually condense again, and the temperature drops sharply.

The afterglow of the setting sun lengthened Lu Shang's shadow.

"Do you still want me to pick you up?"

Lu Shang stopped in front of the three of them. He really hated Lin Dong, the little thief who had stolen his daughter's heart, and wished he could cut off the thief's head with a sword.

But if there was such an action, I'm afraid the two daughters would rebel on the spot.

Moreover, facing Lin Dong now, Lu Shang was actually somewhat unsure.

The Qi machine is incomparably solid, and there is great power hidden in every move and every move, and the cultivation level cannot be speculated by common sense. It seems that every once in a while, there will be a strengthening that far exceeds imagination.

Unreasonably powerful.

As soon as Lu Shangfu appeared, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately started sighing, drooping his head, and seemed completely drained of energy.

She pursed her lips and said unhappily: "Father, will you let us stay one more day? At least accompany General Lin on the expedition."

Lu Xiaoxiao had been taught a lesson by Lu Shang before and did not dare to call Lin Dong his husband in front of him again.

Lu Shang didn't say anything, but looked directly at Lin Dong. He didn't want to end up being this evil person.

"Cough cough."

Lin Dong cleared his throat, and regardless of Lu Xiaoxiao's aggrieved eyes and Lu Ping'er's slightly bulging cheeks, he solemnly said: "I can't bear to leave you either. But it won't be long, one year, one year. Just come back and then..."

Sound stuck.

Again, how about that?
Get married?Is it so exciting to run away after getting married?

Will Lu Shang chase him across the heavens with his sword?

Such thoughts went around in circles.

But facing two pairs of expectant eyes, Lin Dong couldn't say the heartless words after all: "We'll get married when we get back, okay?" The two girls who were originally about to cry broke into laughter.

"I'm so fucking damn good."

Lin Dong scolded himself in his heart.

"Lin Yuanjue, don't forget what you once said to me?"

Lu Shang frowned.

Lin Dong let go of the two girls' hands.

"Ms. sir?" and "husband" are two voices, one high and one low...

"Don't worry, I will definitely be back."

Lin Dong promised firmly.

Such words only made the two girls feel more and more gloomy. Then, in the wind and snow, Lin Dong turned around and left without looking back.

……

That night.

Lin Dong was sitting alone in the pavilion, slowly eating peanuts and drinking wine. He was dressed in a shadow and holding an oil lamp, walking slowly and slowly.

"Master."

Lin Dong shouted, his originally sad expression softened a lot.

"You, an unworthy disciple, didn't even know you were looking for me?"

Liu Daoren joked, shaking off the snow on his robe.

"Didn't Liu Lingtong say you were out of trouble? He also said you were fine."

Lin Dong said awkwardly, then waved his hand to display a set of utensils and poured the wine for Daoist Liu.

"You don't need help when you get out of trouble? You brat."

Liu Daoren sat down opposite Lin Dong. Without using chopsticks, he stretched out his hand to twist the peanuts, threw a few into his mouth, and said vaguely: "If I didn't read the newspaper, I wouldn't have known that your kid was going to the Western Regions." ." As he spoke, he took out a black and white newspaper from the lining and threw it on the table.

This is a communiqué of all nations.

In the photo, Lin Dong's shoulder muscles are bulging high, and his sharp eyebrows can still make people feel the chill through the black and white paper. He grins, revealing his strong white teeth.

There is a line of writing below.

Reporter: "Are you confident that this expedition will be successful?"

General Lin: "Oh, yes, of course, of course, we will win this time!"

Reporter: "What makes you so confident?"

General Lin: "Just because I am Lin Yuanjue, I can defeat Shi Dakai and the supreme Lin Yuanjue!"

The font of the last line of conclusion is enlarged, and a close-up is given: "The Qing court is forcing the Rakshasa Kingdom to do something it has never done before, spitting out the territory it has swallowed. Let us wait and see what this general will do. Performance?"

"I will definitely win!"

Lin Dong smiled and told Liu Daoren calmly.

"The Western Region is not as simple as you think. There are many strange things and monsters. Agubai may not be the most powerful person among them. There are many foreign gods rooted in that place. Cheshi, Qiuci, Loulan, Rouran, There are many things on the Silk Road that lead to other countries in Asia that are contrary to the orthodoxy of the Central Plains."

"Arrogance and pride can destroy you."

Liu Daoren suggested sincerely.

"Master, but do you know my true strength? What I pursue is not invincibility, but immortality."

Lin Dong clicked his tongue and smiled strangely, but did not take these words to heart.

"What kind of ancient god is that? It may sound extraordinary, but when you actually encounter it, you will be beaten to death with one punch."

Lin Dong picked up the wine cup and touched it with Liu Daoren.

Liu Daoren nodded, no longer trying to frustrate Lin Dong, but took off a broken ancient sword from his back and placed it on the table.

Before the restraint strips were unfolded, a shout of murder could be heard vaguely rising to the sky.

"This is……"

Lin Dong was about to ask a question.

At this time, I heard Liu Daoren say: "You little bastard, no matter how powerful you are, can you defeat all the masters in the world and live forever? Most people in the world who seek the Tao just want someone who is superior and someone who doesn't have to look up to others."

"There are several states in the world, but you are the only one? Are you crazy? Although our magic in Lushan is overbearing, when disaster strikes, the killings and disasters are at their peak. What's more, you have also practiced martial arts and military skills. The more you do this, the more likely you will be. There are so many disasters, no matter how cruel you are, how can you still kill God?"

His voice paused, and Daoren Liu continued: "People must have awe in their hearts from beginning to end, and we Taoists should do the same, awe of heaven and earth, and awe of nature. Yuanjue, let me ask you, why do you think you can challenge immortality? , invincible in the world?"

"Master, am I not invincible now?"

Lin Dong spread his hands and filled Daoren Liu's glass with wine.

Liu Daoren was stunned and speechless for a moment.

The old Taoist was silent for a moment, then drank the wine and said: "Yes, you are powerful and promising, but I am your master, and you have to listen to me. Whatever the master says, it will make you fear the world." There is no harm. Ahem, what, this sword is a Tang sword, and it is also the key to the door of the ancient country of Kucha. When I was young, I traveled through the Western Regions and had some adventures. I met him in Kucha. A group of shady soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

"Initially, I had the intention to recruit soldiers and horses to protect the altar. Later, I became the master of Lushan Mountain and inherited the troops of my headquarters. These ghost soldiers and fierce soldiers have no chance to be with me anymore."

"I have observed that your underworld has already established a good climate. I think the biggest problem is that there are not enough soldiers and horses. When the time comes, you can go to Qiuci and gather these fierce soldiers, which will also be a big help for you to deal with Bai Yanhu."

Liu Daoren said naggingly.

Lin Dong didn't expect that he didn't go to see him. The first thing the master did after he recovered from his injury was to give him a treasure.

"Thank you Master."

Lin Dong was a little moved, and immediately stood up and bowed to Daoren Liu.

"Okay, stop whining, bitches. Each generation has its own mission. You have to do your thing, and as a teacher, you have to do your own thing. Being a teacher can't help the world, but I can help everyone. Go and I went to practice justice and eradicate evil spirits."

Daoren Liu lifted up the oil lamp on the table, and looked at Lin Dong's admiring eyes with great ease, leaving only an ancient broken sword on the stone table.

"Master."

Lin Dong looked at the other party's back and murmured softly.

"This is the true and unrestrained Taoist man."

With this thought in mind, he reached out and grabbed the broken knife into his hand.

……

"Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties? It spans at least 800 years. Master, this is a great gift for me."

Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh with emotion after putting the ancient broken sword into the Yin Earth.
