Chapter 54 - Homecoming
The words of the old man in black robe are a kind reminder, and there are many precious materials that are trampled or wasted by people mixed with fish and dragons.
"Weapon Refiner?" Li Xiaobai, who heard this new term for the first time, shook his head and said, "I'll know a swordsman who can build a flying sword, which is just right for you."
It turns out that this thing is called Luoxia Stone, which can also be used to create a flying sword?
I didn't expect that a stone I picked up casually was actually a material that could be used to create a flying sword. It was a coincidence.
"Swordsman? What a pity!"
The old man in black robe shook his head and stopped talking.
Sword craftsmen specialize in creating weapons for mortals. Some skilled people can even create the most superficial magic weapons, but compared with the weapon refiners who are truly specialized in refining magic weapons, they are still inferior.
However, weapon refiners have always been rare, like phoenix hair and scale horns. Most of them are worshipped and protected by powerful art sects. It is rare for outsiders to see them. Many wild cultivators without sects are helpless to find swordsmen to create some superficial magic weapons.
Although some sorcerers with strong cultivation can barely refine weapons, the magic arrays integrated into magic weapons are far inferior to those of real weapon refineers in terms of quantity and quality.
"Thank you for your advice!"
Li Xiaobai was not aware of the difference between the weapon refiner and the swordsman. For him, he was just picking something in the stone chamber, just as he said before.
If God does not take it, he will suffer the consequences; if he does not do it at the moment, he will suffer the consequences.
It was natural that he received his own reward.
The stone pillars that reached the small pavilion above fell silently again. Li Xiaobai and the old man in black robe stood in the center of the narrow stone chamber again, and his feet trembled slightly, and the stone pillars held the two of them slowly ascended.
After a while, the environment around the two had become the first floor of the Royal Library Pavilion again.
"Since you have already obtained the things, please leave quickly."
The old man in black robe waved his sleeves and the closed door opened again. He was giving an order to expel the guest.
"Thank you, old man!"
Li Xiaobai held the thing and couldn't bow, so he bowed.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, the door quickly closed his back, as if he couldn't wait to drive him out.
Looking back at the closed door, Li Xiaobai looked confused and was quite polite just now. Why did he change his attitude after getting the things?
He lowered his head and looked at the dragon scales and the fallen cloud stone in his hand. Maybe, maybe, once he took action, he would not return the goods, right?
When he thought of this, the change in the attitude of the Dawu Dynasty imperial depot immediately became uneasy. If he was cheated, he would probably not even have a bad review.
The guards of Jiedu Mansion who were waiting under the steps seemed to have expected this scene. He glanced at the things in Li Xiaobai's hand with a little envy, and respectfully led the way forward, leading Li Xiaobai away from the square bamboo forest.
-
Lao Ding was covered in sword wounds. Although he had obviously improved after emergency treatment, his condition was still worrying. As soon as the matter at Kanerjing ended, Li Xiaobai had to bid farewell to his newly recognized uncle, the chief official of Fenglang Road, and the governor of the Jiedu, and the master Lin Mian, and hurried back on a carriage with the dragon scales and the fallen cloud stones obtained from the Fenglang Road Imperial Deposit.
As usual, I ran for a long distance and encountered a horse bandit during this period. The cavalry guarding Li Xiaobai were not vegetarians. Just one charge killed the thirty horse bandits who were rampant in the villages that were passing by.
Whether it is fighting will or armor, the horse bandits could not be the opponent of the regular border troops of the Dawu Dynasty. After less than five rounds in a row, all the horse bandits fell to the ground, and all the stolen property was returned to the villagers in distress. The mounts and horses became spoils and were led back to the camp by the cheerful cavalry.
Whether it is when you come or return, Li Xiaobai, who is sitting in the carriage, is not lonely. There are witches who can fight and read the "Mahabudran" given to him by the blind old man.
However, since he started, he has read it dozens of times, but because this scripture is really obscure and difficult to understand, he has never been able to understand the key points, let alone understand the cultivation methods, which made Li Xiaobai experience the difficulty of art for the first time. At the same time, he understood the helplessness of his elder brother Li Mo's twelve years of searching for immortality, and finally he was unable to enter the door and finally returned home in disgrace.
-
"Xiaolang! It seems that the camp is not right!"
The escorted troop approached the carriage and knocked the carriage with a scabbard, which made the sleepy Li Xiaobai feel excited and woke up.
The saying "I am also a mortal" that day instantly brought Li Xiaobai and Qianzhi's army closer together. Most of the soldiers like to call this immortal who has no airs and affectionately called Xiaolang, just like his own brother.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xiaobai pushed open the curtain in front of the carriage. Before he could get the answer from the troupe, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked in front of the carriage, as if he had seen an incredible scene.
A thick smoke rolled up, and looking at the surroundings, it seemed that it was not far from the Qianzhi Army camp.
If it was just smoke from cooking, it would not be so loud.
"Xiao Lang! The camp may be attacked by the enemy!"
The guy looked worried.
The battle with the 30,000 elite cavalry of Fengxuan Kingdom has just ended. The troops of Fenglangdao evacuated and returned to the garrison to lick | lick | wound rested, and the Qianzhi Army, who stayed to camp on the spot, were responsible for breaking the back and resetting the inmovable wounded. Because they were next to the Gobi desert, which was a natural border, it is very likely to encounter raids from Fengxuan Kingdom or other unknown force.
"Calm down! The whole team accelerates! Get ready for the battle!"
Li Xiaobai waved his hand hard towards the front without any hesitation, and made a quick decision.
A group of elite cavalry was beside him, and there was a demon in the transformation realm. The battlefield was like a back garden and let him stroll in the garden. So what else was there to be scary?
However, Lao Ding in the injured camp should not have anything to do, otherwise his efforts would be in vain.
"I understand, Xiaolang!"
The head of the team changed his expression, pulled out his straight sword and pointed towards the camp, and shouted: "The whole team accelerates! Prepare for the battle!"
The remaining dozens of cavalrymen drew their swords together and shouted in unison: "Thousand Pheasant Army, advance!"
Whether it is a thousand people, a hundred people or ten people, one person can be regarded as the name of Thousand Pheasant. This is the unique pride of Thousand Pheasant Army.
The carriage suddenly accelerated, and Li Xiaobai did not retract back into the carriage, but leaned against the front door of the carriage and looked at the camp ahead with a serious expression.
As the distance gets closer, it is natural to see it clearly.
The thick smoke in the camp was even more intense, and the fences and horse-repellent outside the camp gate were shattered. Various shouts came from the sound of the wind, mixed together, which made people feel panicked.
Sure enough, he was attacked!
Li Xiaobai's heart tightened.
The gate of the camp was wide open, and not many Thousand Pheasant soldiers were stationed. The cavalry commander led a team to escort the carriage and rushed into the camp quickly. Fires were everywhere, pungent black smoke rolled, and some corpses could be seen everywhere.
The corpses on the ground were not only from the Qianzhi Army soldiers, but also from the Rong cavalry. It seemed that the battle had just ended, and the camp still had not fully recovered from peace. From time to time, the war could be heard interception and screams of weapons.
"Who is coming! Huh?"
I saw a man wrapped in white cloth strips straddle a war horse, leading hundreds of cavalry to rush over, and intercepted the team that had just entered the camp with great momentum. As soon as the leader asked, his expression changed, but he showed a look of surprise, "Xiao Huang! You are back!"
"Old Ding, you're fine!"
Seeing Ding Zhisheng's lively appearance, Li Xiaobai's original heart finally let go.
"Haha, I, Old Ding, can't die! Thanks to Xiaolang, I saved my life and came back!"
Thinking that his injury and poison had exploded, he would have died without a doubt, but Xiaolang used immortal methods to snatch it back from the King of Hell, Ding Zhi couldn't help but feel excited. He recognized such a brother and had no regrets in his life.
If you can seek to live, who is willing to die?
"I thought Lao Ding, you have to lie down for a few more days. I didn't expect that you would recover so quickly. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune."
They looked at each other with Lao Ding's eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Borrow your auspicious words!" Ding Zhixi smiled, but then his expression changed and he said, "Have you encountered an ambush on the way you came?"
"Ambushes?" Li Xiaobai was stunned, shook his head slowly, and said, "Go along the way, have you encountered any ambush?"
Why did Lao Ding mention this? Is there any enemy outside the camp? But he has never seen it.
Of course, those few horse bandits who don’t know how to live or die are not counted.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Ding Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but the following words shocked Li Xiaobai.
"Just half an hour ago, eight Rong people sorcerers and three hundred Rong people's elite cavalry raided the camp. The Zhe Chong Duwei was seriously injured and unconscious. The Right Guoyi Duwei Cao Yi died on the spot. The Yi Shi Battalion also suffered a lot of losses. Now it seems that it should be the last blow of the Rong people, rather than a comeback."
If Li Xiaobai and others were intercepted on the way back to the camp, it means that the Rong people still have the strength to encircle the Qianzhi Army, and the people in the camp may be in danger.
Li Xiaobai took a breath. The Rong people who fled in panic had the courage to kill Dawu and shot him back, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Unpredictable, Qianzhi Army suffered a lot of losses. If it weren't for the joint efforts of several lieutenants to suppress them, they would probably have disintegrated.
"Old Ding, you go to work hard first, I'll go to the Yishi Camp to take a look!"
Although Li Xiaobai didn't like those arrogant warlocks, he still remembered an honest child who was entrusted by others.
At least Ye Qi will not treat mortals as ants. Although there are some psychological problems, they are not a bad person.
"Xiaolang, you must be careful! You guys protect Xiaolang!"
Lao Ding held the straight knife, clasped his fists at Li Xiaobai, and led his subordinates to rush out. He still wanted to continue to gather the riots who had lost command, kill the Rong people who had lost their nets, and stabilize the order of the camp again.
"Don't worry, Lord Captain, we will sacrifice our lives to protect Mr. Li Zhouquan!"
Dozens of cavalry escorting Li Xiaobai to and from Kanerjing, Junzhen responded in unison.
Li Xiaobai urged: "Go! Go to the Yishi Camp!"
If you are loyal to others, you must be trusted by others. Ye Qi's life and death cannot be ignored. If you do not trust, you may become his inner demon.
Fifty riders protected their carriage in the center and rushed to the place of the Yishi Camp.
The Yishi Camp has been in a mess, and it is obviously one of the important targets of the Rong warlock's raid.
“Stop, stop!”
Li Xiaobai saw a familiar figure slowly squirming not far away, and quickly called the sergeant who stopped driving.
Before the car stopped, he couldn't wait to jump out of the car and quickly walked over to help the man up.
Chapter completed!
