We are engaged in scientific research in the ancient martial arts world

Li Yu had actually discovered that the old general Lan Wujiang was watching them leave on the tower, but he was worried that if he told Ling Shuang about this, she would burst into tears again. Therefore, he and Lan Wujiang had a tacit understanding and kept silent to each other. It was just before Li Yu gradually left the sight of the city gate. He raised his hand and waved towards the city gate behind him. Only he and Lan Wujiang knew what this action meant at this time. Lan Wujiang's body is actually still relatively young compared to the entire Blue Wind Continent. After all, the average life span of people in the entire Blue Wind Continent is relatively long. It's a pity that he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he has also left many hidden wounds on his body. , although he left the battlefield many years ago, his body has long been depleted of energy and blood, and there is no cure for it. Therefore, his lifespan is naturally running out. Although there is a lot of reluctance to say goodbye, after seeing you thousands of miles away, there will be a farewell, and at this time, he can only silently offer Ling Shuang good wishes in his heart...

At this moment, the convoy of Li Yu and others has gradually moved away from Baiyue City and is heading towards Roujian Kingdom. Since there is no need to pass through Rift Valley City this time, but to head straight towards Donglan County, the time required for this journey will be reduced by about a day. If there are no accidents on the way, it will take about 8 days to reach Donglan County. Li Yu, Fatty Wang, Ling Shuang, Mo Wuhen, the quartet from Qingdao Mountain, and five appraisers who could ride horses were galloping ahead. The four carriages at the rear followed closely behind. Murong Heng of the Murong family did not choose to join Li Yu in the end. After all, the Murong family could be considered a wealthy and prominent family in Baiyue City. The two father and son of the Murong family still had scruples about this too dangerous life and death experience. Li Yu, on the other hand, doesn't force it. Anyway, he currently has one half-step warrior and five grand master warriors. That's right, five. After all, his cheap wife Fu Lingshuang is also a martial arts practitioner of the grand master. It's just that at this level...it's a little bit watery. But even so, the combat configuration of this team is already quite luxurious for walking in the world. What's more, there are two "god transformation" monks lurking in the team? Oh, no, it's a "god-transforming" monk. After Li Yu's last illness and his qualitative breakthrough in distraction skills, his mental strength, brain development, and consciousness have reached a level equivalent to the early stage of "Void Refining". It's just his own battle. His ability has not reached such a high level, so he can only use his huge spiritual consciousness to frighten people, or to expand the scope of surveillance and detection to provide more protection for the team. Therefore, he can only count three points of each "Void Refining" state. As for his and Wang Qingyang's true cultivation of immortality, due to the scarcity of spirit stones, they have been stuck in the middle or early stage of Nascent Soul this year. Their martial arts realm is due to the practice they teach their cheap "disciples" every day, and they themselves also have some insights. At present, both of them have reached the stage of Little Master Dzogchen. If you want to break through the Grand Master, I'm afraid you still need to practice in actual combat to find the opportunity. Therefore, the two of them were not in a hurry. After all, this journey will last for 4 days anyway. Maybe I will meet some unsighted "good guy" who wants to collect tolls on the way? No matter what happens, even if you don't meet any "good guys" on the road, it will definitely be a fierce battle when you get to Red Copper Island. The overseas cultivators are far different from the cultivators on this continent. These overseas practitioners themselves were pirates, and it was through many generations of business that they gradually cleared up their banditry. However, despite many generations of changes, their behavior is still cruel and murderous. In addition, life on the sea is almost a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife. Although it is still unknown how powerful the island owners are, it is still unknown. The guards on these islands are naturally experienced in many battles and have extraordinary skills. After all, these island owners will protect some pirates in the area near the island. As long as these pirates work hard for these islands or act as eyes and ears, then these island owners will provide corresponding protection and convenience. Over time, these pirates no longer plundered at sea, but joined these islands and acted as escorts. In fact, they are the private soldiers of these island owners. These private soldiers all come from such backgrounds, so naturally they are very murderous, and their fighting ability is naturally better than that of the mountain bandits on this continent.

Therefore, Li Yu was not worried that there would be no fight to fight. On the contrary, there were more battles to come. According to his plan, he not only wanted to capture Red Copper Island, but also Yunhe Island if possible. To capture two of the nine islands, with only the current manpower, it would be difficult to imagine a fierce battle.

Everyone just kept a balanced speed and galloped straight towards Donglan County of Roujian Kingdom. On the way, Fatty Wang would also approach the carriage behind him and say a few words of concern for his wife. Li Yu and Fu Lingshuang also had a pleasant conversation. As for the four people from Qingdao Mountain, since they have the blessing of the Royal Seal and Mo Wuhen "taking care" of them, they naturally cannot have any strange thoughts. As for the crimes they committed before, they are still alive now. They are so lucky, what else do they dare to do? As for the appraisal experts at the back, because some time ago, Li Yu and Fatty Wang provided them with some spiritual weapons of relatively "junk" quality for appraisal research. It was also the first time that they saw so many spiritual weapons placed in front of them at the same time. Naturally, they were discussing each other non-stop during the whole period, and they didn't care at all about the eight-day journey. The first day of the journey was like this, and it passed slowly and uneventfully. After the sky got dark, everyone found the foot of a rocky mountain. After finding a relatively flat place, everyone began to collect dead branches from the surroundings and came back to prepare for a fire. After the firewood collection was completed. Li Yu ordered the four people from Qingda Mountain to set up two large pots, and then he asked Mo Wuhen to take out some steamed buns and sesame cakes that he had prepared before and distributed them to everyone. Li Yu took a braised chicken from Mo Wuhen, as well as some rice and water bladders. Li Yu divided the braised chicken into two parts and put them into two large pots respectively, then added some rice and water. After the water in the pot boiled completely, Li Yu began to stir the big pot with a shovel, while Wang Qingyang was in charge of the other pot. After stirring like this repeatedly for about half an hour, and then sprinkling some coarse salt, two large pots of fragrant braised chicken porridge are ready. Li Yu and others ate one pot, and the remaining pot was for the "tool men" to eat. The servants were already very grateful that they could eat chicken porridge and steamed buns. The people on Li Yu's side took out braised pig's trotters and braised chicken legs, and ate chicken porridge and meat buns. Ling Shuang was surprised that her cheap husband was so well prepared, but she was even more surprised that her husband could actually cook, and the chicken porridge was very delicious. And Bai Zi also cast a strange look at the usually serious Brother Li. After all, in her eyes, the son of a big family in the upper world would actually light a fire and cook in this wilderness. This was different from what she imagined. Totally inconsistent. Li Yu and Wang Qingyang naturally saw the two women's surprise and disbelief. After Li Yu took a big mouthful of fragrant chicken porridge, he said to the two women, "Are you confused as to why we, two young men from a big family from above, are so skilled at making fires and cooking in this wilderness?" The woman's mouth was full of food. So I could only nod in response. Wang Qingyang said with a proud face, "My brothers, there are still many things you don't know. There will be many things that will surprise you in the future." Li Yu glanced at the fat man and said, "Look at how proud you are. The tails are all up in the sky..." After that, he ignored Fatty Wang and continued to the two girls, "We actually don't have any feelings for the upper world. My two brothers left the upper world and lived outside it when they were young. Many places are not what you imagine. Although we are people from the upper world, we have actually been to too many places." When Fatty Wang heard Li Yu's words, he curled his lips and said, He secretly cursed in his heart, "This guy started telling lies with his eyes open again, and he just fooled these two little girls." After several people finished their meal, they began to assign the work of night vigil inspection. After all, there are so many masters. It's easy to distribute. Li Yu took Mo Wuhen with him for half the night, and the two of them stayed together for half the night. In the second half of the night, it was Fatty Wang who led a team of four people from Qingdao Mountain to patrol. After all, these four people knew how powerful Fatty Wang was, so being in a group with him naturally meant they were more honest and responsible. All female relatives and appraisal experts do not need to be on duty.

Just like that, the peaceful night passed. And the next few days were just like this day, without any troubles and going very smoothly. But on the fourth day, everyone had just left the border of the Garo Kingdom and entered the territory of the Roujian Kingdom. But there was a little incident. At that time, everyone was walking on a mountain road in the territory of Roujian Kingdom, and there were dense jungles on both sides of the mountain road. Just before everyone entered this mountain road, Li Yu discovered the denseness of the trees here early, which was obviously very easy to hide people. He deliberately did not use his spiritual consciousness to conduct a large-scale exploration. The reason was that at this time, something rose in his heart. There was a small sense of inexplicable expectation. He wanted to see if any "lucky person" would take the initiative to bump into this team pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. The result really did not disappoint Li Yu. After everyone had traveled about half a stick of incense. The front, rear, and sides of the team. Dozens of black-clothed and masked figures appeared one after another. When Wang Qingyang saw the appearance of these figures, not only was he not surprised, he also patted Li Yu's shoulder hard and said, "Old Li, you guessed it right. It seems that we can grab more people for the future." You have made a contribution to the scientific experiment!" Li Yu used sound transmission to tell Fatty Wang his guess before entering the mountain road. Therefore, Fatty Wang was not surprised by the sudden appearance of dozens of talents. Except for Li Yu and Fatty Wang, no one showed any panic. What a joke, these two immortals are here. A few more waves of these little thieves are not enough to kill them, especially the foursome from Qingdao Mountain. These four were originally mountain bandits. After being wiped out by Fatty Wang in their hometown, they Then we know that being a bandit will not end well. It’s not that we don’t take revenge, it’s just that the time has not come yet. So when the four of them looked at the little thieves who were surrounded from all directions, they had playful smiles on their faces. As for Mo Wuhen, he was even calmer. He himself participated in the Battle of Qingdao Mountain, and he himself practiced with those two. He could tell at a glance what level these little thieves were. So I didn't pay attention to these people at all. As the group gradually gathered together, they approached the convoy. Li Yu said in a leisurely manner, "Don't kill them, keep them all alive. I can still use them." As Li Yu said these words. Mo Wuhen and the four highland barley men instantly disappeared on horseback and launched an attack on the approaching thieves. Wang Qingyang took out a spirit sword from the storage bag, and then he controlled the spirit sword and walked with the sword, and began to patrol around the entire convoy. See if any fish slipped through the net. Prevent these valuable "labor" from escaping. When this group of masked men in black saw how fast some of them were, they took action before they were even close to the convoy. Take them by surprise. Moreover, the attack was so fast that they didn't even react, and their people began to fall aside one after another, wailing. At this time, one of the men in black suddenly shouted loudly, "It pricks my hands, the wind is blowing!" When the other men in black heard this, they immediately prepared to retreat and were gradually retreating. , stay away from this convoy. After hearing this, Li Yu snorted coldly, "Everyone in charge, since you are here, please stay. You can't come and leave whenever you want here." Li Yu said in one sentence Then, he took out 7 flying swords directly from the storage bag, yes, 7. This was the only improvement in his combat effectiveness after his breakthrough in the distraction technique. As he took out his flying sword, he jumped up and stepped on it, quickly galloping towards the person in the black-clothed crowd who had just spoken. The man in black who had just called for retreat, when he saw that man immediately launched so many flying swords and chased him straight away, he knew that he was going to be killed here today. So he hurriedly begged for mercy while running, "God, please forgive me. We were blind and bumped into the God. Let's retreat now...I..." Before he could finish speaking, Li Yu had already appeared in front of him. , and his neck was already blocked by four flying swords. At this time, he didn't dare to take a step anymore. When the men in black saw that the leader was restrained, they immediately dispersed and fled in all directions. But if they want to leave, they have to ask Wang Qingyang if he agrees. At this time, Wang Qingyang's sword approached a group of men in black who were relatively close to him. He took out a few ropes from his storage bag, and after injecting spiritual energy into one of them, the rope seemed to come alive and began to twist gently. Then he pointed one of them towards the group of men in black closest to him. , a throw. In an instant, the rope rushed out like a flexible snake and tied the group tightly. Wang Qingyang then followed the same pattern, and after the entire convoy circled around, all the men in black present were entangled in Fatty Wang's special rope, and everyone fell to the ground, unable to move. And these ropes are naturally a kind of magic weapon that they got from the trophies they obtained from the ground. This kind of magic weapon may be specially used by the upper world to capture monsters. It is very soft and familiar. There were quite a few of these ropes in every storage bag. The two of them didn't know what this thing was for at the time, but their appraisal experts had recently figured it out that it was a magic weapon for catching people or monsters. Fatty Wang took it out for trial today for the first time, and found that the effect was surprisingly good. This is much more reliable than handcuffs, and is also lightweight and easy to carry. When all the men in black were controlled and gathered together, Li Yu began to interrogate these men in black one by one. After half an hour of interrogation, Li Yu and others learned that this group of people came from a group of water bandits in the nearby Qinjiang River. Due to recent heavy rains near the Qinjiang River, flash floods broke out and washed away many villages. Recently, almost No one crossed the river or sailed on the river anymore. Therefore, they had no target for robbery for several months, and they had no choice but to go ashore and become bandits. The person taking the lead this time was their third boss, named Wang Dahu. These men in black were also subordinates of Wang Dahu. When I came out this time, I happened to encounter Li Yu's convoy. They realized that with so many carriages, there must be a lot of money and goods, so they became malicious. But I never expected that this team would be full of masters, so the boat capsized in the gutter. And through everyone's descriptions, Li Yu and the others also learned. The gang's lair is on the edge of the Qinjiang River. It is called Wangjiang Pavilion. On the surface, it is a teahouse overlooking the river and admiring the scenery, but behind the scenes it is a den of water bandits. There are currently the first and second masters in this den of thieves, as well as more than a hundred brothers. The eldest master's name is: Sun Hongying, known as Sun Auntie, while the second master's name is: Sun Hongyan, known as Sun Erniang. Both of them are masters in the realm of grand masters. They were originally people who traveled around the world. Later, they got tired of the past in the world and planned to retire to the mountains and forests. This is how the teahouse named Wangjiang Pavilion was opened. Unfortunately, it was located in the Qinjiang River. Although the scenery of green water and green mountains was beautiful, there were very few visitors to the teahouse. Therefore, the two owners had evil intentions and established the teahouse. The bandit team started killing people and selling goods on the Qinjiang River. Although the two heads are both women, they are bold and forthright and have great loyalty to the world. Therefore, they have gained the support of many prodigal sons from the surrounding areas in the past few years. And the team of water bandits is also growing day by day. This third master is one of the many prodigal sons who have taken refuge in the rivers and lakes. In the past, Wang Dahu was a good robber in the mountains and forests. After taking refuge in Wangjiang Pavilion, he received the guidance of the second master. He made a breakthrough in martial arts and entered the sixth level of martial arts, thus becoming the third master. After the recent flash floods near the Qinjiang River, he led a team ashore to plunder merchants in the surrounding mountains and subsidize Wangjiang Pavilion. Aunt Sun and Erniang Sun often praised the third master for being very considerate of Wangjiang Pavilion and being particularly diligent.

After Li Yu finished digesting the news, he pulled Wang Qingyang aside and said, "How about we take a detour? Order Wangjiang Pavilion?" When Fatty Wang heard Li Yu's "bad idea", he immediately became crazy. Nodding to show full agreement. "Isn't this because someone gave me a pillow when I fell asleep? This time I was preparing to go to sea, but suddenly a large group of water bandits came. Not to mention the level of sea navigation, the ability to fight on the water is definitely first-class. . What's more, in addition to the 30 or so people we caught here, there are more than 100 people hidden in Wangjiang Pavilion, and they also come with two beautiful masters. Whoever doesn't do this business is a fool!" Li Yu listened. After Wang Qingyang said this, he nodded with relief. Then he patted Wang Qingyang's shoulder heavily with his hand twice. Then he said, "Yes, you are very good today. You have a brain." Wang Qingyang was full of anger when he heard Li Yu's strange "praise". Then he cursed angrily, "You mean, I usually have no brains?" Li Yu nodded generously and admitted, "On weekdays, you work too hard at night, and that girl knocked you out of your mind." After that, Li Yu said He patted Wang Qingyang on the shoulder again and added, "Keep it up and try not to toss that girl as much as possible. I think your IQ will recover faster. Be good, listen to Dr. Li, one day you can do it." Those who have recovered, don't be discouraged, keep working hard!" After saying this, Li Yu also raised his thumbs towards Fatty Wang. Wang Qingyang was so angry that his whole body was almost numb. But he couldn't even remember a retort, which made him wonder, had his IQ really dropped? ?

Next, at Li Yu's signal, the group of men in black tied their hands and formed a string, following behind the convoy. In front is the third master, who is tied up with a rope on horseback by Li Yu. Li Yu, on the other hand, walked with a sword. After Li Yu gave the instructions to the third master to lead the way, the entire convoy dragged a long black "tail" in the direction of Wangjiang Pavilion and slowly changed its route. Li Yu and Wang Qingyang are bound to get this "big gift package" in Wangjiang Pavilion. After all, with this group of water bandits under control, they will have their own private army in the future. The previous attack on Qingbari Mountain in Baiyue City was to show off to everyone and the old guy Lan Wujiang. Naturally, the two of them had no choice but to endure the pain and eliminate the many "tool men". Otherwise, the two of them are currently traveling with at least 300 people. But it doesn't matter to the two of them. Anyway, there is still a long way to go before reaching the capital city of Leisure City. There will always be some "good Samaritans" you meet along the way. When the time comes, we can slowly clean them up one by one. Although Fu Lingshuang had doubts about their behavior, she did not say anything. After all, Li Yu and Li Yu were still doing harm to the people and fighting bandits. So what else could she say? I can't tell you why you just went to pick up the thief when you saw him, right? These two people didn't do anything bad, so it was hard for Fu Lingshuang to say anything. Besides, that man was also her cheap husband. Even if he did something outrageous, she could only endure it. So she didn't ask Li Yu out loud, but followed silently in the team. Li Yu naturally knew that this girl had doubts, but he was not in a hurry. Anyway, when the time came, he would naturally explain it to this cheap lady.

To say that Qinjiang is not far away from the place where Li Yu and others were robbed just now. If you travel normally, you can reach it in about half a day's journey. However, because Li Yu's convoy had more than 30 prisoners, the speed was slightly slower, and it probably took a few more hours.
