Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 95 Yedu
Boom!
Tiedan, who had just broken through the Jindan realm and jumped out of the gourd, fell headfirst onto the floor of the bedroom, collapsed on the ground, and spit out large mouthfuls of congealed blood.

It was called a breakthrough, but let alone any auspicious light or earth-shaking aura, Tiedan had almost no Qi power in his body. He was like a paralyzed person, lying on the deck like a dog with all the bones crushed.

Well, it was indeed broken. This time it was just for an emergency, after all, and they hastily used Senior Yuhengzi's untempered quarter bone frame to shape the body. Naturally, the foundation was unstable. It was an antique that had not been moved for hundreds or thousands of years at least, so it must have collapsed to the ground.

Yes, force the formation of the elixir.

Because the previous situation was urgent, forcibly using the turbocharger to escape had exceeded the load limit that the physical body in the Foundation Establishment Period could bear. Therefore, even with the fierce recovery of the Blood Jade Power, the body was constantly collapsing and breaking down, the Taoist body was on the verge of blood disintegration, and the soul was about to dissipate.

The situation is so critical that there is no way out.

Therefore, Tiedan had to forcibly break through the Jindan realm, and only then, relying on the spiritual consciousness enhanced by the breakthrough, he managed to gather his remaining body, bit by bit, and save his life.

However, the elixir was formed at a really wrong time, at least several years earlier than Tiedan had planned. And he had to do it in order to save his life, without making any relevant preparations.

Needless to say, the dangers and difficulties involved were numerous. Tiedan got out of breath several times and really thought that it was all over. He was possessed and was going to die. But thanks to Xuantian and Kun, who gave him some pointers and came up with some clever ideas, he was finally rescued.

I can only say that this was accomplished thanks to the two chatterboxes in the Divine Court, who provided additional ideas and helped a lot with modeling and calculations.

Of course, it is also possible that Tiedan himself is lucky enough, or that he has gone through enough killings and robberies, and the luck he gained from killing and robbing is enough to hold on.

In this way, the prepared divine sword bones, elixir materials, demon flesh and blood, and even the divine money in his pocket were all used up and consumed. Even the gourd spirit and the magic bead took out their own spiritual energy and lent it to Tiedan to save his life. As a result, they all used up their precious light and Taoist energy, and turned into a gray stone gourd and stone bead, and fell into a deep sleep.

It was by such a coincidence and mistake that Tiedan narrowly escaped death and Qiangqiang managed to save his life.

However, if he tried to break through by force like this, it would be like a building with an unstable foundation and hastily built, which would be shaky and ready to collapse. In order to avoid the outbreak of hidden dangers, he would no longer be able to charge forward as hard as he did in the foundation-building period. He would have to practice meditation and retreat for many years before he could recover bit by bit.

What's even more regrettable is that after paying such a huge price, in the end he only managed to save his own life, grow some skin, and restore his human form.

Moreover, Qingshuang was completely gone.

Half of the sword tip had been chopped off before, and the remaining blade was used as material when forging the sword.

Now there was only a broken hilt left in Tiedan's hand. Its spiritual power was exhausted and it weathered into rust in the blink of an eye.

He is the only one left again...

Holding the hilt of the sword in his arms, the exhausted boy fell into a baby-like sleep.

This time Tiedan didn't have any dreams. He just kept sleeping and sleeping. After sleeping for three days and three nights, he was able to get enough energy and force himself to get up and be alert.

When Qiao entered the cabin, he was amazed to see Tiedan had gotten up and was eating porridge.

"Friend Tie, you were injured like that, but you were able to get down so quickly and break through. It's a miracle. As expected, the Xuanmen Daozi is extraordinary...

Why don't you lie down for a while? These are getting cold. I'll ask the boatman to make you something hot."

Tiedan bowed and saluted.

"Thank you for the rescue, shopkeeper."

By the way, this time it’s all thanks to Qiao Fa.

This person really lacked the ability, courage, and luck, and he almost couldn't escape.

Fortunately, Boss Qiao had money, and finally, relying on his unique skill of spending money lavishly, he managed to escape from the encirclement of the scouts from the Kan Kingdom without any danger.

Finally, he carried the gourd on his back and fled all the way to the Zhang River. He was really exhausted, so he hired a boatman with a large sum of money to take him to Yedu. He temporarily sealed the gourd in the cabin and asked the boatman about the situation of Gen State along the way. He also took care of Tiedan for three days.

"I inquired and learned that Duke Zhongshan was assassinated and injured on the cheek. The army of Kan State temporarily withdrew from various places to reorganize, and the momentum of advancing southward was temporarily stopped.

However, the Gen army has lost its nerve, and there is no town that is defending along the way. The court has not issued an order to cease fire, so I am afraid that the northern troops will not be held back for too long...

But no matter what, it's good that you survived. I have already sent a talisman to Xuanmen to let them know your names. I believe the sect will also give you rewards for warding off the enemy."

Really? The result is "only the cheek is injured"...

Tiedan was speechless for a moment. He looked out the boat window and saw a large number of refugees, carrying their families, stirring up a cloud of dust, fleeing south along the river bank like frightened cattle and sheep. Shopkeeper Qiao comforted him,

"If it weren't for the brave warriors, they would have been crushed into pulp by the cavalry. Now at least they still have a glimmer of hope, right?

Human power has its limits, but destiny cannot be violated. Do your best and leave the rest to destiny. "

Just leave it to fate... But what if fate wants your life...

"Cough cough..."

Seeing that Tiedan was still very weak, the shopkeeper closed the window.
"When we get to Ye City tomorrow, I'll arrange for you to return to the mountain, right?"

Tiedan shook his head.
"Tang Tong has a friend in Yedu, why don't you send her to the mountain?"

The shopkeeper's bitter smile,
"That's impossible. He hasn't even entered the sect yet. It's forbidden to keep a maidservant as a pet in the mountains. What's more, his... Never mind. Let's not talk about it. Let's put it this way. I think the fall of Ye City is imminent. We should settle the guys in the city as soon as possible and pack up our belongings and leave.

However, I heard that the nearby Fukou Pass has been closed, and I'm afraid I can't get out. If I get stuck on the mountain road, I'll be stuck in a dead end. It would be better to wait until I pick up Brother Tang's Taoist partner, and then we can all head south to Bailu Peak first.

That is the territory of our Xuanmen, and the Kan army should not dare to offend. When we get there, we can see the situation and decide whether to go west to Baixing and return to Qianzhou, or to cross the Gen River to the Central Plains, or to go east to Damingfu of Zhen State. There are ways to go."

The shopkeeper also knew that Tiedan had escaped, so he naturally did not force him to go back to the mountain. He just said that he had reached Bailu Peak and that the world was so big that he could go wherever he wanted.

So Tiedan nodded and agreed.

Everything went smoothly and they rested for another day. Then the boat arrived at Yedu and landed. The shopkeeper first took Tiedan to the branch of Qianshengtong in the city, and then found a clerk who had helped Tang Tong deliver things and send letters before, and sent him to pick him up.

Tiedan ate all the pills and a bellyful of millet porridge. Although his bones still needed to be refined, his body was already somewhat strong. He followed the waiter and took Tang Tong's things to his Taoist partner.

So I followed the waiter and walked for a while, looking at the scenery of Ye City, which was also very moving.

Although Gen State is flat and has no strategic locations to defend, Ye City is the capital of Gen State and is naturally extraordinary.

The area is bordered by the Zhang River in the north, the Gen River in the south, the Huan River in the east, the Xuannv Mountain in the west, and the natural barrier of Fukouxing. The area is wide, the city walls are high and the moats are deep, the aura is strong, the inner and outer city walls are three layers, the weapons and armor are sufficient, and the food and fodder are abundant. It was once the temporary palace of Emperor Wu, the military camp of the general, and the base camp for the Northern Expedition. The palace and granaries are all complete, and it is not impossible to defend it.

Although the main force of the king's army was completely destroyed, the southern detachments and the defeated troops from the north had gathered here one after another. The aristocratic families and wealthy families in the city who had lived there for generations were all aware of the tyranny of Duke Zhongshan, and naturally they were unwilling to abandon their ancestral foundation. Therefore, without being told, they mobilized their servants and soldiers, and provided them with food, wages, armor and soldiers to prepare for war. They also recruited volunteers from the villagers to reorganize the army. Therefore, there were many armored soldiers guarding the city at this time, and they were all equipped with standard military equipment. They looked neat and majestic, much more stylish than those barbarians in the north who ate raw meat and drank blood.

Although skin does not equal combat power, it can at least be seen that this country of Gen is indeed vast, rich in resources, and has a profound foundation. Although more than 100,000 soldiers have been lost and it is still far from the point of being at the end of their rope and unable to fight, it is unknown why the Lord of Gen abandoned the city and fled so neatly.

Or maybe Duke Gen knew that he couldn't win this battle anyway...

"Master, that is the Sea of ​​Fragrant Snow Apricots."

Tiedan looked in the direction pointed by the waiter and saw a forest of apricot blossoms. The stems were straight and upright, and the trees were more than three feet tall. The fallen cherry blossoms were colorful. The three circles outside were like snow jade, and the three layers inside were in bud, each rouge red, just in its gorgeous and charming state. The flowers were beautiful, like rouge dots, occupying the spring breeze. White is not really white, and red is not as red as red. Please look beyond the red and white, and look at the work of nature.

In the midst of the red apricot and white flowers, a few Taoist houses with black tiles and white walls were vaguely visible. It was probably the residence of Tang Tong's Taoist companion.

Although Tiedan didn't care about those flowers and apricots, he had reached a certain level of cultivation at this time, and he could see some clues from the Qi. He could see that the spiritual energy in this place was abundant and the ground veins were pure. He couldn't help but wonder,
"This place is clearly a great place for cultivation. With Tang Tong's limited ability, how could he occupy such a good place and support his Taoist partner?"

The guy laughed.

"How could he occupy this place? This was originally the private property of the famous Zhen family in Ye City, and it was a manor where the women of the family became nuns and rested. But the Zhen family committed a crime, and the king exterminated them, confiscated their property and executed them, and the women were exiled to the Jiaofang Bureau. This place was also taken away by the king.

Later, when the mountain people came out to do some work, Young Master Tang saved the young lady of the Zhen family, but he could not take her back to settle down. It happened that there were many disciples and former officials of the Zhen family in Ye City who felt sorry for their master's plight, so they intervened on their behalf. They also did not want the Zhen family to enter the palace, so they gave face to Xuanmen and returned the garden to the young lady to live in, asking her to become a nun here.

They only told her to copy scriptures in the temple, pray for the king, and atone for her family's sins. Occasionally, people from the Xuanmen came to Yedu for work, and they were arranged to live here to prevent them from causing trouble in the city."

"I see……"

However, this sea of ​​fragrant apricot blossoms is ultimately a paradise on earth and a land of right and wrong.

Before, with the dual face of the king and the Xuanmen, Miss Zhen could stay out of it and practice and live in this paradise on earth.

But now the king has fled with his tail between his legs, and the common people do not recognize the face of the people from the mountains, so troubles are coming one after another.
