Seven thousand miles away from the border of Jin Province, a towering stone city was built in the heart of the Turkic grasslands. Only God knew how much manpower and material resources were spent to transport the stone and wood from the forest to the heart of the grassland.
The dark gray city walls were shimmering with starlight under the sunlight.
This pass was the current Turkic imperial court, Heavenly Wolf City.
At this moment, everyone in Heavenly Wolf City, from the Great Khan Ashina Yugu to the civil and military officials, was panicking and restless.
This was because the Gray Calamity had been discovered outside the city!
The so-called Gray Calamity was a plague, a deadly and incurable plague.
In the beginning, he had a headache and fever, and his eyes and tongue were gray.
In the middle stage, the whole body was swollen and swollen, and he vomited blood and had blood in his stool.
In the later stages, his consciousness would be muddled and his body would be covered in dark gray. Even immortals would not be able to save him.
Although the Ash Calamity had yet to break out in Sirius City, more than five hundred shepherds fifty miles away from the west city had already been confirmed to be infected.
Moreover, these 500 people were the families of the 3,000 warriors who had participated in the rebellion of Tumu City.
Zhang Jiao, the Great Virtuous Teacher, and Zhang Bao, the Military Grass Governor, had been treating the herdsmen outside the city for 20 days.
To be honest, none of the people in the main tent believed that the Dust Calamity could be cured by human strength.
However, no one had expected that the despairing Ash Calamity would actually be cured by Zhang Jiao.
The Turkic Khan Ashina Yugu had sent over twenty groups of witch doctors, Han doctors, and shamans to investigate. The results were that the 500-odd people had been completely cured of the Ash Calamity.”
Outside the city, grass grew and eagles flew. More than ten large pots were set on the fire. The water in the pots was bubbling, bringing up many grass roots and tree bark. In front of each pot stood many Turkic herdsmen. Two Turkic girls with yellow turbans in their heads held wooden ladles in their hands. They scooped out a green hot soup from the pot and poured it into the golden bowl in the hands of the herdsmen.
After receiving the hot soup, every herdsman would kneel on the ground and raise the bowl high above their heads. They would kowtow three times in the direction of Sirius City before drinking the hot soup in the bowl in one gulp.
A small group of five hundred Turkic cavalry was watching from a distance.
A young soldier with a string of wolf fangs around his neck kept his eyes on the golden bowl in the hands of the herdsmen. The chiliarch beside him gently tapped the saddle of the young man with wolf fangs with his whip and whispered to him,"Those shepherds were the shepherds who were infected by the Ash Calamity and cured by Master Zhang Jiao. They were also the relatives of the three thousand warriors of the King's Guards Battalion who risked their lives to lure away the main force of the rebel army during the Mutu City Rebellion. The Great Khan had given each of them a golden bowl. As long as it was a place where Turkic horses galloped, they could rely on the golden bowl to live comfortably. These herdsmen all had great teachers who had engraved the royal wolf characters 'Condyle Yi,' representing that they were the most loyal and brave subordinates of the Turkic royal family.
Every year, the Great Khan would host a banquet with them in the King's tent during the Heavenly Wolf Ceremony. However, there would be a small number of them. The Black Wolf Guards on the Third Princess 'side would investigate thoroughly. If they died of old age, they would give them a generous amount of money. If they died because they were injured, the person who caused their death would be worse off than death.
The Turkic soldier's heart burned with a flame. Merit, he had to make a contribution. For himself, for his family, and for his descendants, he had to obtain this glory and grace.
At this moment, Zhang Jiao and his brother, Zhang Bao, who had cured the Ash Calamity, were standing on the city tower of the southern city.
"Big Brother, you have the greatest credit for curing the Ash Calamity this time. Why did you hide in the southern city?”Zhang Bao felt that his big brother shouldn't be standing here alone at this time. He should take advantage of the time when he was building this amazing skill to do something else.
"Second brother, you have to remember that it may not be a good thing for a tree to stand out in the forest and for a person to stand out from the crowd. Giving this glory to the Great Khan is the best choice. Don't forget that you and I are brothers, and the Great Khan was the one who pushed us to 'keep the Great Shaman in check and appease the Han Chancellor'. As long as the Emperor's Heart is simple, it's enough. Those false reputations and immediate benefits are of no benefit to us.”Zhang Jiao helped Zhang Bao to brush off the dust on his clothes, then smoothed out the creases on his collar. He explained the reason to Zhang Bao in a gentle and slow voice.
"A secret letter came from home. An hour ago, the Seventh Prince coughed up blood.。。”
"Increase the amount of divine herb pills by 30%. Didn't Third Brother always think that he would be invincible once he mastered the Essence of Peace? It was a blessing, not a curse, to ask him to fetch the Fifth Prince back from Liyang and let him suffer some losses there.”Whenever Zhang Jiao encountered a major event, he would always be calm and collected. However, when he mentioned his third brother, he was less close to Zhang Bao.
"Ye Mozi, send 2000 troops to Hezikou in the name of repairing the pass.”All along, Zhang Bao had defined himself as his big brother's assistant, helping his big brother solve his problems.
"Don't bother about Ye Mozi's probing. They're just flies that are attached to the First Prince. In the eyes of the First Prince, we, the Han Dynasty survivors who were abandoned by the various countries, are just rootless duckweeds. Let him do as he pleases. Fifth Prince, it would be the time for the duckweed to take root.
On the other side, Zhang Liang, who was five miles away from the border of Liyang, was preparing to use Spatial Bending to sneak into the territory of Liyang. Suddenly, he felt his heart tremble as he sensed a brilliant might coming from the east.
All the countries in the world must have a common agreement.
'Rank-2 Grandmasters are not allowed to enter other countries.'
Zhang Liang knew that this was an expert from Liyang who wanted to force him to retreat a hundred miles away.
"Summon the wind and rain, attract lightning and control lightning."
Zhang Liang formed a hand seal and shouted. The cloudless blue sky above his head was suddenly filled with dark clouds and rumbling thunder.
The moment Zhang Liang attacked, he used the most powerful secret technique that could only be used by someone at the Great Fulfilment realm of the Essence of Peace. At this moment, he was full of confidence. The Essence of Peace originated from the Heavenly Book and was full of wonders. He had long wanted to fight with these so-called kung fu experts of the Central Plains and see what mysterious tricks they had.
The wind blows the horned dragon, and the rain makes ten thousand arrows. Thunder turned into a tiger, lightning into a spear.
The wind carries the power of rain, and the rain helps the wind. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
The wind, rain, lightning, and thunder in this world were like ferocious tigers that had been released from the dam. They were ferocious and unstoppable.
Looking at that sword from the east, it was truly incomparably domineering!
He cut off the horned dragon, startled tens of thousands of arrows, shattered the lightning tiger, and cut off the spear. He forced Zhang Liang to retreat a hundred miles away from Liyang State.
What made Zhang Liang most angry and disappointed was that the sword from the east was only a pair of chopsticks, the most commonly used and cheapest mahogany chopsticks in the market.
Other than the words 'Wen Family Restaurant' carved on the chopsticks in Liyang script, someone had also carved the words 'Qi Xuanzhen' on the chopsticks with sword qi.
The three words on the chopsticks burst forth with sword intent, forming a sword formation that pinned Zhang Liang to the ground.
It was difficult to move an inch.
Zhang Liang was trapped by Qi Xuanzhen's sword Qi at the border of Liyang.
He was not in a hurry to use all his strength to break through the sword array that trapped him. He knew that his big brother had asked him to escort the Fifth Prince back to the Turks because he wanted him, who had already perfected the Essence of Peace, to suffer at Liyang.
But Big Brother didn't know. Not only had he cultivated the " Essence of Peace " of the three volumes of the Heavenly Book to perfection, he had also cultivated the other " True Understanding of Daping " to perfection.
Out of the three Tomes of Arcane, Zhang Liang only had one volume of the Taiping Sutra that he was still lacking in mastery. He planned to beat them at their own game. He planned to borrow some experience from the masters of Liyang who had stopped him during this trip to Liyang City. With their help, he could help his cultivation of the Taiping Sutra reach a higher level.
In the end, even Zhang Liang himself did not expect that his luck was truly blessed by the heavens. The first person to stop him when he arrived at the border of Liyang was Qi Xuanzhen, who was ranked first on the Heaven Roll.
Although Perfected Qi did not come personally, he had only attached his sword Qi to a chopstick and forced Zhang Liang to retreat a hundred miles away from the border of Liyang.
However, the sword formation that trapped him was enough for him to study and learn a lot.
Putting aside Zhang Liang, who was studying Qi Xuanzhen's Sword Qi at the border of Liyang. At this moment, something big happened in Yi County.
In the Fisherman Martial Manor, only one of the two tall and heavy red painted wooden doors was left standing there alone. The other door was lying in the courtyard ten steps away. Two feet and three inches below the door knocker, there was a two-inch-deep fist print.
Looking further in, in the courtyard of the main hall, there were strong men lying on the ground. They did not know if they were dead or alive. A dwarf man dressed in black, with an ugly face and a ring-shaped saber on his back, stepped on Ding Xiaoguang's chest and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on his face with disdain.
Ding Xiaoguang's father, Ding Huang, was half-kneeling at the entrance of the main hall. His left shoulder was bleeding profusely. He spat out blood as he desperately tried to stand up from the ground to save his precious son.
The midget looked up at Shen Nirong, who was standing in front of the coffin in the main hall with a knife. Her face was pale and she was biting her lips.
"What a long, beautiful pair of legs! It's a pity that such a good leg doesn't grow on my body. It's better to chop it off so that I don't have to look up at you.”The dwarf grinned and laughed sinisterly.
He pressed the mechanism on the scabbard on his back, and the ring-shaped broadsword popped out of the scabbard and flew into the air. The dwarf leaped up and held the ring-shaped broadsword in his hand. In the air, he swung the broadsword over his head and slashed fiercely at Ding Xiaoguang's chest.
"No!" Shen Nirong exclaimed.
Ding Huang's eyes were about to pop out!
A chubby young merchant who was dressed in jewelry and holding an abacus was playing with the Thunder Saber of Fu Jiapo, the chief instructor of Anping Martial Manor, on the training field of Anping Martial Manor. He was calculating the price of this saber with Fu Jiapo.
"Liyang Anshan Iron, one thousand taels of silver. Craftsmanship from Dongyue Yaozikou, 500 taels of silver. The scabbard of the West Shu's Riches Restaurant cost 2,500 taels of silver. Tsk, tsk, tsk, this customer, your saber has already seen blood, so it can't be used as a ritual vessel. We can only discuss the price according to the weapon. The scabbard of a weapon is more expensive than the saber. It's not easy to sell it. Nobles would not want a sacrificial vessel that had seen blood. As for martial artists, the money for the scabbard was enough for them to forge two such sabers. Dear customer, it's not that I want to criticize you, but your reputation is really bad. If you spent the scabbard's money on the saber, then the saber would be a mid-quality weapon. Then, you wouldn't have to worry about not finding a buyer.”
Fu Jiapo's eyes were filled with blood, but his Sea of Qi was sealed, and beside him lay a large group of disciples and Zhuang Bing who had their Sea of Qi sealed by Fatty's hidden weapon, the 'copper coin'.
In the Old Barracks, a young master dressed in elegant white clothes was holding a wedding fan from the West Chu's Xu Lai Fang,'Concubine Cui's Smiling'. He was strolling leisurely through the military spear formation set up by the 50 Old Soldiers of the Old Barracks.
This white-robed young master was elegant and had a disdainful smile on his face. With just a raise of his hand and a lift of his foot, he had broken the bones and tendons of fifty old soldiers, causing them to be seriously injured. The two leaders of the Old Barracks, Lin Hujiao and Liuji, were also heavily injured and coughing up blood, making it difficult for them to fight.
In the pavilion mountain, thousands of boards faced the sky, and strange stones piled up like walls, standing side by side.
A beautiful female Taoist priest in her thirties was trapped in a pine forest by three elderly people.
Under the cloud-covered pine canopy, the shadows of the trees were blurred. The grey-clothed old man among the three old men bowed his head and walked to the Taoist priest and Governor Fu. The Taoist priest frowned and gripped the hilt of the sword at her waist. Before she could draw her sword, the grey-clothed old man moved and arrived in front of her. He slapped the Taoist priest's head. A stream of blood flowed down from the Taoist priest's head. She fell down without even making a sound.
Fu Sheng threw out a bag of lime powder and turned to escape. The old man in gray moved like a ghost and flashed in front of Fu Sheng. He pointed at Fu Sheng's forehead and knocked him out.
"She's lucky to have met that old dog Han Longnu today. If she met his adopted son, tsk, the red money would be used to peel off his skin, shave off his flesh, pull out his tendons, and scrape his bones.”The old man in black pursed his lips and said to the old man in white beside him.
"Smelly cat, birds of a feather flock together. My Han family's ferret is just like that sick cat from your Yang family. You slandered my ferret in front of your master.”After the gray-clad old man, Han Longnu, refuted the black-clad old man, Yang Huchen, with a sentence, he ignored him and lowered his head to bow before retreating behind the white-clad old man.
The old man in white ignored the two of them and silently took out a golden scroll from his pocket. He opened the scroll and a golden dragon shot out from the scroll towards the fallen Fu Sheng. A green wolf leaped out of Fu Sheng's body and stopped the golden dragon with a long howl.
The golden dragon waved its tail, and the gray wolf stretched its claws. A dragon and a wolf bit each other. Although the wolf was fierce, it was still much weaker than the golden dragon, which was four to five times bigger than it. Not long after, the dragon was torn into specks of green light by the golden dragon. The golden dragon opened its mouth and sucked in all the specks of green light that the wolf had turned into. After a loud and clear dragon roar, it flew back into the scroll.
The white-robed old man of the three old men was the current emperor of the Liyang Dynasty, Zhao He. After he used the national treasure, the Mountain River Map, to devour Ashina Helu, the fifth prince of the Turks, who was also the blue wolf formed by a wisp of the Turkic fate in Fu Sheng's body, he said to Han Longnu and Yang Huchen,""The two of you old things are fighting right away. After this matter is over, quickly return to the capital.”
"This old servant obeys."
"This old subject obeys."
