Chapter Six
Li Qiang did not expect that Zhao Hao's foundation was so poor. Seeing this old apprentice who was older than his father had such a strong desire for knowledge, Li Qiang couldn't bear to fool him.
After asking about Zhao Hao's cultivation process in detail, Li Qiang was surprised to find that he had relying on his knowledge and based on martial arts skills, he searched for teachers and friends everywhere, and collected cultivation methods from all possible places. He could not help but admire and move him to the consecration period.
Li Qiang decided to guide him to continue practicing.
Although Li Qiang had just started practicing, his conditions were very good. Not only did he lay an excellent foundation for Zi Yanxin, but he also had the Jade Pupil Shop given by Fu Shan. It is equivalent to the classics in the Fu Shan sect, and there are many ways to cultivate. Compared with Zhao Hao, it is different from heaven and earth.
Zhao Hao had a deviation in the first step of practicing spiral period. After more than 30 years of cultivation, it was already very dangerous for him to forcibly enter the consecration period.
Only when Li Qiang asked him to start over from the spiral period and tell him how to practice. At this point, Zhao Hao realized that his previous skills were wasted.
The spiral period is the most fundamental foundation-building method for cultivators, and it is very important for future cultivation. During cultivation, you must use five attributes of cultivation stones, namely gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The body is used as a array to form a "small universe" and slowly absorb it from the outside and inside to gradually change your physique, adapt to the use of essence, energy and energy, and make it proficiently operate.
Zhao Hao immediately asked for practice as soon as he understood.
"Master, I am practicing in the Kun position of the defensive array. What do you think?" Zhao Hao was refreshed.
Li Qiang smiled and said, "You go and explain to your family first. I don't know when I will wake up when I sit down and practice. I also have to finish practicing the following things."
Entering the cultivation again, Li Qiang had to admire Fu Shan's idea. The shape of this crossbow was like an eagle flying with wings, the size of a palm, and could be attached to the back of the hand. The attack array in the crossbow was exquisite and subtle, which almost made Li Qiang unable to start.
Li Qiang understood that the smaller the formation, the higher the requirements for cultivators to practice. The smaller the space for small things, the smaller the room for use. For example, the sword is the most difficult to create. It is absolutely impossible for a master to design an attack array in a sword body that is only eight inches long or even smaller.
Fortunately, Fu Shan had completed the formation, and all he lacked was energy. Li Qiang recharged the energy and activated the formation, slightly modified the appearance of the crossbow, and completed his second weapon cultivation.
Then he practiced the spear. This spear is quite unique, about two meters long, with one meter of blade, and is superimposed by eight sharp blades. The razor blade can rotate like a fan blade. This time, Li Qiang did not spend much effort and completed his practice quickly, but only added barbs to each sharp blade, purely for the sake of good looks.
The last thing to practice was the treasure sword given to Zhao Hao. Li Qiang was hesitant. There were several swords in the bracelet, but Zhao Hao's cultivation was not enough. The treasure sword was to be injected into energy by the master of the sword himself, otherwise it would be impossible to control it. If it was not practiced, it would be no different from ordinary steel swords.
After thinking for a long time, Li Qiang thought of a compromise method. He took out a three-foot sword, first changed the attack array in the blade into a simple energy storage array, and embedded four earth and water-based immortal stones as the basis. As long as Zhao Hao used a little real energy power in, the knife would be invincible, but it would not pose a great threat to the cultivator.
Li Qiang found that after a long period of practicing weapons, his practice seemed to have made a lot of progress, and his ability to control true energy was greatly improved, which made him very excited.
When Li Qiang saw Zhao Hao at first sight, he couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Hao lay on the ground in a large shape, with five fairy stones hanging above his body and slowly turning, looking quite fun. Li Qiang stretched out a trace of true energy and quietly explored it, and was slightly shocked. The small universe in Zhao Hao's body had just been formed, but the true energy was extremely weak. If these five low-grade fairy stones were not known to be able to wake up until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
Li Qiang was impatient and took out a top-grade "Red Flame Stone" and activated his true energy to inject the energy from the immortal stone into Zhao Hao's body. At the same time, he slightly modified the small universe formed in his body. Li Qiang's simple efforts brought too much benefits to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao opened his eyes and knew clearly that everything had changed.
As he crossed the spinning period again, Zhao Hao began his first transformation. His snow-white hair, eyebrows and beard turned black from the roots of the hair, and the wrinkles and age spots on his face quickly disappeared. Seeing him rapidly transforming from an elderly person to a middle-aged man, Li Qiang was shocked again and thought to himself: "It seems that all cultivators cannot judge age from their appearance." Zhao Hao was surprised, and even admired Li Qiang very much.
Zhao Hao knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully, "Disciple, thank you Master."
Li Qiang sighed and said, "Oh, I'm most afraid of kneeling down to me, but you just want to do this. If this happens, I'll drive you out of the wall! Get up quickly, this is the treasure knife I gave you."
After kowtowing meticulously, Zhao Hao stood up and said, "Master, the courtesy is not ruined!" Zhao Hao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he kept saying, "Good knife! Good knife!" Li Qiang smiled and said, "You try to transport your true energy in."
The sword emitted a misty green light, and the blade was like mercury flowing, and it was both real and illusory when it swayed. 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 I have been practicing?" He put away the defensive formation and the two walked out of the door.
The noise was almost overwhelming.
"It's out, it's out. Go and call the boss. Lord Li and the old man are out of seclusion!"
Zhao Hao frowned: "What are you doing? You are so unruly, so please ask Degui to come here."
Li Qiang felt that the atmosphere was wrong and asked, "What happened?"
"Hanlin City is besieged!"
"The boss is here every day. We can't walk into the house, and our voices are hoarse!"
"Yes, yes, even the prefect has come several times."
Just as he was talking, Zhao Degui hurriedly ran over.
"Dad, Lord Li, it's great! Finally came out, the prefect almost drove me crazy. Hey!? Dad, you're young." Zhao Hao raised his hand and gave Zhao Degui a blow and scolded, "The speech is full of no end, it's messy. Why don't you panic? Let's talk later." He bowed to Li Qiang and said, "Master, sit in the room first."
To the north of Hanlin City is the Sigh Forest, to the northwest are the Red Rock Petrochemical Mountains, to the west are the desolate Gobi Desert, and to the southeast are the famous green basin. Therefore, Hanlin City is also an important military fortress in the Song Dynasty.
In the desolate Gobi Desert to the west, there is a fierce and cruel army of robbers called "Black Flag Army". Their leader is Engang. It is said that he is also a cultivator with a strong martial arts skills. He has seven flag generals under him, each of whom is cruel and ruthless. Each of them has two or three thousand people. They are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, specializing in robbing passing caravans, and sometimes harassing and looting borders.
This time they snatched Hanlin City, and this time there were four major banner generals, more than 10,000 people.
Zhao Degui had just finished introducing the situation, a servant rushed into the room in a panic and shouted, "No, the city is broken!"
After all, Zhao Hao is the owner of the Silver Building and has been used to the storm for more than 70 years. He looked at Li Qiang and said, "Master, please forgive me for your disciples for being arrogant." Li Qiang nodded.
Li Qiang was calm on the surface, but his heart was already in a state of great success. He had never experienced wars before. Although he had read movies and novels, he was just a look. This time he had to face them personally, and he felt a little confused about what to do.
"Degui, please gather the whole family and the young in the yard, don't bring too much, hide all the valuables. Everyone prepare their own weapons, go quickly!" Zhao Hao said to a samurai-like man: "Brother Yifeng, go and gather your subordinates, prepare more powerful crossbows and prepare three carriages, and we retreat from the east gate."
The whole Hanlin City was in chaos, with thick smoke rolling in the sky, noisy on the streets, and war horses neighing in the distance.
Li Qiang was unsure and was ready to drive it up in a hurry. He secretly thanked that he had not been lazy and had refined three weapons. Unfortunately, the armor was too late to practice. He raised his hand and put on the "Red Flame Dragon Shield", put on the "Eagle Crossbow", and held the "Hundred Blade Spear" in his right hand, and then calmed down.
After the weapon was on his body, Li Qiang was different. His powerful momentum slowly spread with the rhythm of his breathing. Zhao Hao felt a heavy pressure that forced him to retreat repeatedly, and his awe for Li Qiang deepened a little. "Master, the Black Flag Army broke through the city, and it is a practice to massacre the city. You must be merciless."
Zhao Hao’s decades of experience are not just a matter of playing. He is an old fox. When he saw Li Qiang rushing to install his weapons, he knew that he must have never experienced a battle. He couldn’t help but remind him. He was not worried about Li Qiang’s safety and knew that he had no problem protecting himself.
After a while, everyone gathered together, and Zhao Hao ordered: "Brother Yifeng, you bring a knife, shield and hand to open the way in front. Degui, you bring a strong crossbow to protect the carriage and use a strong crossbow to support you Uncle Yifeng at any time. Do you understand if I lead a captain and spearman to break it?" It seems that this is not the first time that people in Yinlou have experienced such a thing. It seems that they have trained so they are so calm and comfortable.
"Dad, you are here to command the powerful crossbowman, I will cut off the back!" Zhao Degui was anxious.
"Boy, your kung fu is better than me? Are you breaking the back? You don't know the impact of the Black Flag Army, you can block it? You are such a bastard." Zhao Hao cursed.
"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 skills, I have good weapons. Besides, my disciple's business is mine."
How could Zhao Hao let go of such a master: "Master, you are in the middle of the support. If the situation is dangerous, you can go and rescue it. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, that's it." Li Qiang was very satisfied.
Li Qiang was standing on the roof of the carriage in the middle with a hundred-blade gun, and he thought it was quite cool.
Turning a street, the sound of horse hooves came from the road to the west, and the Black Flag Army arrived.
Zhao Hao loudly commanded the entire team to retreat eastward, and he led more than 20 spearmen to guard the street. He wanted to hold the Black Flag Army and buy time.
The carriage gradually moved away from Zhao Hao's spear team. Li Qiang thought that it was wrong, and he couldn't see it, so how could he help him? He flew out of the car and said to Zhao Degui, "You go first, I'll go to help your father."
When I rushed back to the street, I saw Zhao Hao dancing with his sword and fighting hard.
Two major flag generals rushed over, and the spearmen all looked like earth. Zhao Hao knew that something was wrong and shouted loudly: "Stay!" He raised his knife and rushed forward.
The two major flags that came from the Black Flag Army were the Thunder Flag General Yuanba, who ranked third among the flags; the Snow Flag General Han Jingtian, who ranked sixth among the flags.
The Thunder Flag General Yuan Ba roared like thunder: "Haha! Lao Liu, there is actually a desperate man. Look at me chopping him." He urged his rider to swing the thick back on his hand and chopped the mountain knife.
What Yuanba and Han Jingtian didn't expect was that this time they hit the iron plate, and there was a larger iron plate coming here.
When Zhao Hao was young, he had a nickname called "Mad Knife". He fought and was frantically desperate. Looking at the thick-backed knife that Yuanba slashed, a sneer appeared on his face and shouted, "Good come!" As soon as he mentioned the true energy that had just been refined, the treasure knife in his hand suddenly raised. He wanted to fight head-on and try the power of the new knife.
The snow flag saw that Han Jingtian was not good and shouted, "Be careful, Yuanba, that's a treasure knife." He jumped down from the horse's back, drew his sword and stepped forward to rescue the siege.
There was a loud bang, and the energy was scattered everywhere. Zhao Hao did not expect that with just one knife, the famous general of the Black Flag Army fell off the horse, and Han Jingtian was forced back, and his confidence couldn't help but rise. He laughed and said, "Haha, oh! This road is not open." The spearmen all became energetic when they saw the master of the family so majestic.
Yuanba was so scared that he was almost done if it weren't for Han Jingtian's reminder. "He***, where did the master come out? The sword in his hand is so good." Greed surged in his heart.
Yuanba and Han Jingtian looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "Go together, boys."
Zhao Hao cursed and complained secretly in his heart. He was not afraid, and the spearman he brought was over. He angrily danced his sword and rushed into the enemy group again.
The spearmen were not opponents of the battle-hardened Black Flag Army. As soon as they came into contact, seven or eight were killed or injured. Just as they were feeling desperate, an invisible pressure pushed over, and someone screamed in his eyes: "Don't panic, the master is here."
The spearmen were stunned to see that the eagle as big as a palm and shimmering golden light flew out of Li Qiang's hand, circled in the air and swooped quickly. After making a crisp eagle sound, they drilled into the body of the Black Flag Army soldiers, and then the soldiers' bodies exploded violently. In an instant, none of the Black Flag Army soldiers besieged the long Flag Army.
"You guys hurry up and chase the team ahead, I'm here." Li Qiang resisted the sadness of the first killing and ordered. Li Qiang didn't expect that this eagle crossbow was so powerful. He just tried it and killed thirty-one Black Flag Army soldiers. It was too late to stop.
Zhao Hao was overjoyed and said, "Master, you are guarding the intersection. There are disciples here, haha." The old man is so youthful.
Leiqi general Yuanba's eyes were red, and he was about to fight against Li Qiang with his sword. Han Jingtian calmed down. He grabbed him and advised: "Third brother, don't be impulsive. This person is not something you and I can deal with. Let's retreat first and find the flag owner." Hey, "You guys are all retreating. Hello, the two masters dare to leave their names!"
Zhao Hao laughed and said, "A real man will not change his name, and he will not change his surname. Remember, I will kill Zhao Hao! As for my master, you are not worthy of asking! Haha, haha." Zhao Hao was so happy that he had never been so proud and comfortable.
Seeing the black flag army retreating like a tide, Li Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "Let's chase the team."
At this time, the Black Flag Army in the city had already begun to loot and massacre.
Walking east along the street, the scene along the way made Li Qiang feel that this was simply hell, with corpses everywhere, and many seriously injured people shouting. After the Black Flag Army soldiers plundered, they set fires again, causing fireworks everywhere.
Zhao Hao killed a soldier with a black flag army carrying a big bag from the house and said, "Master, don't care, there will be a big battle here every ten years, and the disciples are used to it." Li Qiang smiled bitterly and thought: You are used to it, but I am not used to it at all.
"Hey, isn't that Fatty Qi's ready-to-wear shop?" Li Qiang still remembers this ready-to-wear shop. This was the first shop he entered after entering Hanlin City. Walking past the door, Li Qiang saw soldiers from the Black Flag Army inside at a glance.
"Master, please don't kill me. I'll give you whatever you want, wuwu... Oh my God! Show me mercy."
"Woo...Woo...Dad, my mother dragged her inside. Please let my mother go...Woo..."
"Haha, the captain has entered the bridal chamber. Who do you want to be the first best man? Sign up."
A shrill scream came, followed by a angrily scolding: "Stinky lady, how dare you bite me and kill you, damn it!"
"Damn the kid...ah!"
Li Qiang had never experienced such a tragic incident in person. A fire of nameless rushed straight into his forehead and broke in horizontally. Zhao Hao hurriedly followed him in.
Li Qiang was so angry that the Hundred Blade Spear shot out countless spikes of energy, and the crisp eagle roar was even more terrifying.
Zhao Hao shivered, and even the battle-hardened people were frightened. The black flag soldiers in the room were broken, and the house was covered with broken bones and rotten flesh and blood flowed.
"Master Li..."
Fatty Qi sat on the ground and hugged an eight- or nine-year-old boy, crying loudly.
Chapter completed!
