Comprehension: Grinding the Gun

There is Ming River in Shizhou and Three Kingdoms, which originates from Buzhou Mountain in the far west, winds from west to east, turns south in Yongchang, crosses the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then enters the sea.

It is rumored that the Ming River connects to Yangchi and Yueyuan in the Immortal Realm, runs through the human continent in the middle, and connects to the Santu River in the Underworld below.Across the Three Realms, it is the most important waterway on the mainland.

Thousands of years ago in the war between gods and demons, the people of the three realms suffered heavy casualties, mortals almost wiped out their clans, most of the monsters were killed and injured, and even immortal cultivators killed each other. Not only did countless people die, but also a large number of geniuses fell. In 3000 years, no one survived the catastrophe soar.

The Three Realms learned from the pain, and the immortals, demons, demons, ghosts, and human races gathered on the bank of the Ming River where the realm beyond the transformation and the human world meet, and made a covenant: Anyone who enters the way of cultivation will be cut off from the world, and will not ask about common things, but can communicate with each other. No, you can't influence the political situation of the war, let alone use magic to make money and kill in the human world.

Only those who hold the bronze order can intervene in mortal affairs.The amount of bronze decrees is rare, and most of them are handed over to the national divisions of various countries and cities, and then patrol envoys sent by the Federation of Five Races to supervise them.Anyone who abuses it will be shot and killed, and the bronze order will be taken back.

This oath of alliance is known as Minghe's oath in history, and then all the cultivation sects retreated to the mountains and forests, concentrating on recuperating and recovering their vitality.Only the major cultivation families and the dynasties of the human world are intricately related, and most of the bronze orders have been retained.

Zhanlong's blood evil devoured his body and was mistaken for a demon.He also used his supernatural powers in Yongchang and fought a battle with mortal soldiers. If someone with a heart used this as an excuse to break the oath, this battle would probably turn into another catastrophe in the Three Realms.

On the way to Zhan Changsheng, he fed Lao Diao two low-grade spirit stones, and only then did he finish his speech intermittently.He only thought that the massacre was already a human tragedy, but unexpectedly, it was just a small prelude.For a moment, he felt cold all over his body, after all, he is an ordinary person, and he does not want to be a sinner through the ages.He couldn't help complaining in his heart to Hu Yan, the dignified prince, for committing the act of killing people and seizing treasures, but at the same time, he blamed Zhanlong for acting rashly and causing troubles.

After all, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think about it, Zhan Changsheng stood up solemnly and said: "It is useless to talk more, go back to the barracks first and then make plans."

But Zhan Long said: "No, I want to refine the main blade and unleash the carving soul. This old carving can't last for a few days."

The old eagle was overwhelmed by the flattery, and raised his head from the ground with great effort and said: "There is enough aura here, I don't need to transform into a human form, it's not..."

Being swept coldly by Zhan Long, he immediately fell silent and closed his beak embarrassingly.

When did Zhan Long actually start caring about the life of the Golden Feather Eagle, but he didn't want to follow Zhan Changsheng to be bound by the army.

It's just that he was able to find an excuse, and he didn't just stop him blindly, but it can be regarded as... making progress.

Zhan Changsheng only said: "Since the oath of Minghe, if you want to be an enemy of Tiangu City, it is convenient for you to be a mortal. Brother, I have my own plan for this matter, and I will definitely not miss you."

He just questioned carefully, but the old eagle didn't know much about the world's major events.He wholeheartedly seeks the way with his lover, and then travels around, not paying attention to the movements of the ten continents and three kingdoms in the human world.

But Zhan Changsheng was already hesitant, so he told Zhanlong and the old eagle to rest well, and then let Zhanlong's spiritual sense explore, and found a gap to appear from the White Jade Pagoda.

It was almost early in the morning, the sky was still dark, and it was pitch black in all directions, only a few torches flickered at the fierce battle.More than a dozen Qiongying soldiers had already dug a deep pit, piled up the corpses one by one, and threw them into the pit for burial.

Zhan Changsheng fell to the ground from a height of three feet, even though he moved vigorously and neatly, he still made a soft sound.

He immediately turned over and rolled into the bushes on the side of the road to hide.

Qiongying's soldiers, who were burying the corpse, held up their torches and came over to investigate. When they took a step, the moccasin boots fell to the ground, just a line away from his fingers.

Zhan Changsheng's heart hung high, but he still slowed down his breathing, for fear of alarming the soldier.

But Zhan Long said in a deep voice in his sea of ​​consciousness: "Why are you so cautious, brother just killed for you."

Zhan Changsheng sighed, knowing that it would be useless to explain the difference between us and the enemy, so he had to persuade him: "Senior brother will kill a few more demon troops for me in the future, but now there is no need to startle the snake."

After another few minutes, the Qiongying soldier turned around and carried the corpse.Zhan Changsheng got up quietly, and gradually disappeared into the woods. When he was far away, he just took out the post horse and galloped away.

When he was one mile away from Changning's garrison, he changed into his military uniform, took back the post horse, and returned to the barracks as if nothing had happened.

The camp guards knew him well, and when they saw him appear, they hurried forward and said in a low voice: "Changsheng, you can count yourself back. If you come back, Battalion Commander Axia ordered you to go look for her."

Xia Yuanzhao's army was strict, and Tieliying was even more elite. If he got Xiumu, he would have to return to the army at Maoshi at the latest.When Zhan Changsheng stepped into the gate, the drums sounded, he secretly said that he was lucky, and hurriedly thanked the guard.Immediately, not daring to delay, he went straight to look for A-Xia.

When A-Xia saw him, she didn't mention anything else, and only ordered him to accompany him to the general's camp.

Zhan Changsheng was worried, so he had to go with A-Xia to meet Xia Yuanzhao.

The general's camp was brightly lit, and his staff, military advisers, and messengers rushed to and fro.

The guards stood at the gate of the camp, seeing the two of them coming, they hurried forward to salute and said: "The general has an order, please let Battalion Commander A Xia come in, please wait for Zhan Changsheng in the side camp."

Axia Surong, went into the camp alone.Zhan Changsheng had no choice but to lead the way with a guard, enter the side camp and wait.

In the side camp there is a long table, a few wooden benches, and only one oil lamp hanging high on the side of the tent. The grease is poor and emits a bad smell.

Zhan Changsheng was restless, so he had to wander back and forth in the open space beside the table.The sound of horseshoes outside the camp was like torrential rain, and the horses were galloping non-stop, and the atmosphere of facing an enemy was ready to emerge.Although he had less than a year of experience in the army, he also knew that something big must happen.

After waiting for another incense stick, Xia Yuanzhao entered the room when the curtain door was opened. Although he hadn't slept all night, his handsome face was not tired, but his expression was serious, and the dark clouds between his brows were like clouds.

Zhan Changsheng stepped forward to greet him, Xia Yuanzhao sat down with his robe lifted, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Another man came in from outside the curtain. He was in his early thirties, thin and thin, with gray clothes and gray hair. His facial features were light. He looked ordinary.

Xia Yuanzhao said: "Gui Yan, I ordered you to follow Zhan Changsheng, report the situation now."

Zhan Changsheng was startled, and a huge wave was set off in his heart.

The man in gray bowed his head and cupped his hands, shamelessly said: "This subordinate is incompetent, nine out of ten times he lost him."

Zhan Changsheng was in doubt, he was about to speak, but Xia Yuanzhao raised his hand to stop him, and ordered the gray-clothed man to step back, before he said solemnly: "Gui Yan is my powerful scout, you can get rid of his stalking, it's really impressive. "

Zhan Changsheng tremblingly said: "General...why did you send someone to follow..."

Xia Yuanzhao said with a smile: "When I saw you in Qinghe Village, there were clearly holes and bloodstains on the chest and back of your clothes that were pierced by sharp arrows. If ordinary people suffer such serious injuries, there is no reason for them to survive. That day I saw that you were naked from the upper body, but there was no wound left on your chest."

Zhan Changsheng thought he was cautious in everything, but unexpectedly Xia Yuanzhao was more observant than him.Seeing Xia Yuanzhao's gentle expression, he gradually calmed down and asked, "If the general has doubts about me, why did you still allow me to join the army?"

Xia Yuanzhao said, "There was an immortal master who came to Qinghe Village. I thought you might encounter some adventures, so I ordered Hui Yan to follow, just to verify. But I never had any doubts about you."

Zhan Changsheng couldn't help being taken aback.

But Xia Yuanzhao continued: "Hatred is the same as murderous intent, you can't fake it at all. Since you have supernatural powers and you have a monstrous hatred for the demon army, it is enough for me to use."

Xia Yuanzhao is open-minded and flexible, which can be seen.

Zhan Changsheng cupped his fists and said respectfully: "I am incompatible with the demon army, the general can use me anyway."

Xia Yuanzhao said solemnly: "It's so good, Changsheng, I want you to sneak into Tiangu City."

Xia Yuanzhao had issued an order to not allow anyone to talk about the massacre of Qinghe Village, but now he finally let go, and let Zhan Changsheng know the shocking inside story.

That red-haired, blood-armored, ruthless and cruel general looks like Xia Houyan, the demon king of Tiangu City.However, Xia Houyan is extremely cunning, and has twelve shadow guards under his command, who use secret techniques to change their appearance, and they all have the same appearance as Xiahou Tie, making it difficult for outsiders to tell the truth from the fake.

The demon general who attacked Changning that day and lost to the enemy, fled in defeat, and slaughtered the village via Qinghe should be one of the twelve shadow guards.

Xia Houyan himself has not shown himself for a long time, and now there are rumors that the Demon King Daotiangu is dead, and the Twelve Shadow Guards are fighting openly and secretly with all the demon kings to inherit the great rule.

The first task entrusted by Xia Yuanzhao is to find out the truth about Xia Houyan's life and death.

Zhan Changsheng clenched his fingers tightly, but he had already made a great wish in his heart. If he couldn't tell the difference, he would kill Tiangu Demon King and his twelve shadow guards.

After receiving the secret order, he bid farewell to Xia Yuanzhao and went to prepare for his departure.

Zhanlong's joy was faintly conveyed in his spiritual consciousness. He had read this magic spear for a long time, and now he finally got his wish.

When Zhan Changsheng was inspecting the Kanyu leading to Tiangu City, he suddenly remembered something and said worriedly: "If I have already entered the sect of Immortal Dragon Slayer, wouldn't it mean that I have entered the sect of cultivating immortals and will be bound by the oath of Minghe?"

Zhan Long said: "Junior brother, why are you so strict and stick to the rules? If you really care about it, why don't I temporarily act as the master and expel you from the sect. After this matter is over, you will be admitted again."

Zhan Changsheng was dumbfounded for a while, expelled from the teacher's school, and reintroduced under the school, Zhan Long said casually, it was a bit of a joke, making people dumbfounded.

He thought for a moment and then he was relieved. Those who achieve great things do not care about small things, and his master is even more courageous and fearless, to the point of becoming an enemy of the king of gods.As a disciple, Zhan Changsheng should raise his master's ambition and be more brave.

Zhan Changsheng didn't stop, keeping in mind the terrain along the way, rolled up the map, put it in the cowhide tube, put it in the tent and returned it to Axia.

Axia's eyebrows are straight and slanted, and her eyes are as bright as stars. She stared straight at Zhan Changsheng's face. After a long silence, she said: "In the north of Tiangu City, there is a grocery store that connects the north and the south. The shopkeeper's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Zhong. If you are desperate, go find him." May help you."

Zhan Changsheng was startled, but A-Xia continued: "Zhao Zhong's original surname was Xia, and I was born as a servant of the royal family, and guarded the northwest with His Highness. I practiced martial arts, and led the Tieli Camp to fight with the army; he learned from literature, and managed to sneak into Tiangu City I have done it carefully. This matter should not be heard by the third person, if he asks, you only need to say: "Xiao Xiao asked me to come."

There was unconcealable sadness between A-Xia's brows, as if she was caught in reminiscence.Zhan Changsheng didn't go away, nor did he stay, so he had to watch his nose, nose, nose and heart, and stand in the camp as a wooden stake.

After a while, A-Xia came back to her senses, tilted her head slightly, and took off the small silver plum blossom earring on one earlobe. After rubbing it for a long time, she reluctantly put it into Zhan Changsheng's hand, "This earring is a keepsake. Take it off, be careful. "

Zhan Changsheng only felt the weight of the little silver nail which was fluffy, and put it carefully into the storage bag, then he bowed his head and saluted, and said solemnly: "Battlefield Commander, don't worry, and wait for me to return in triumph."

Just then A-Xia smiled, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "Speaking wild words, you are worthy of being my brother of Tie Liying!"

Xia Yuanzhao had passed the news to the whole army, and Zhan Changsheng was severely punished for not returning all night, and was demoted from Tieli Camp and sent to a coolie camp.Unexpectedly, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, the boy was very popular, and there was an endless stream of colleagues wanting to condolences, so he had to be stopped by A Xia.

Zhan Changsheng didn't dare to delay, after finishing his preparations, he set off at night and left Changning quietly.
