Yunshan, a valley

Lin Jiang was fishing by a pond, while Mo Zhai and the other two were farming in the valley. There were more than a dozen thatched houses on the side. This was originally a small village that was about to be abandoned.

When they came, they found some bones in the village, but there were no living people. Lin Jiang stayed here temporarily.

"Sir, the fish is hooked."

Mo Zhai finished his work and walked to Lin Jiang to remind Lin Jiang that the fish was hooked.

Lin Jiang came to his senses and grabbed the fishing rod. Unexpectedly, the fish was quite big and the fishing line broke all of a sudden. Lin Jiang got angry and threw the fishing rod out, instantly piercing the fish. Mo Zhai laughed and quickly jumped into the pond and fished up a big fat fish weighing three or four pounds.

"Sir, we have fish to eat tonight."

"Yes, go back and cook it. Don't eat raw fish."

Lin Jiang nodded. Although they lived in the mountains, fuel was not easy to obtain. The people in Shihao Village also liked to eat raw fish after catching fish. Lin Jiang stopped them. Now is not the era of cultivating immortals. If they are infected with parasites, it will be difficult to treat.

"What are you thinking about, sir?"

Mo Zhai said to Lin Jiang. He saw that Lin Jiang was a little absent-minded these days and was worried that Lin Jiang might have hysteria.

"It's okay."

Lin Jiang waved his hand. In fact, he was a little confused. This time he slept for a thousand years, and the people who used to be there were gone.

If the Xia Kingdom was gone and the dynasty was changed directly, he would not care. But the Xia Dynasty was still there, and it was still in the Spring and Autumn Period. In this case, Lin Jiang did not know how to deal with it.

Back home, Mo Zhai and the other two cooked the food. Lin Jiang had hunted a lot of prey these days, so he had no worries about food. After

dinner, Lin Jiang taught the three people to practice martial arts. Lin Jiang did not accept them as apprentices, so he did not even let them call him master, but only asked them to call him master.

Lin Jiang didn't know what kind of talents he wanted to train them to become, whether they were management talents who could govern a region or masters with outstanding martial arts. When he took them away from Shihao Village, he just thought they were kind-hearted and didn't want them to become cannon fodder in troubled times.

"Forget it, forget it, just teach them a few tricks."

Lin Jiang didn't want to get into a dead end, so he decided to teach them casually, whatever he thought of, anyway, they could protect themselves in the future, and he didn't expect them to do anything.

·······

The sun was shining brightly, and the three of them were practicing swords under a big tree. The original owner of the village had opened up some fields, but they didn't like farming and were more interested in practicing martial arts.

The swords in their hands were wooden swords cut by Lin Jiang for them, but the three of them regarded them as treasures, and practiced diligently every day. After learning for more than half a month, they had already made some achievements.

"Three brothers"

When the three of them were resting, a voice came from the treetops. The three of them looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing there.

"Who are you?"

Mo Zhai protected his two younger brothers behind him and said to the man.

"Brother, you are also a martial artist. Did you know that there is a martial arts saint in this mountain?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard of it."

"Thank you very much, brother."

The middle-aged man was not angry. He gently fell to the ground, then walked away, and slowly disappeared from the sight of Mo Zhai and the others.

"Brother Zhai, is that man looking for the gentleman?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you say it?"

"Stupid, he doesn't look like a good person. What if he comes to arrest the gentleman to join the army?"

Mo Zhai said. There are so many bad guys outside. What if he comes to arrest the gentleman?

The three were discussing, but they didn't know that in the tree canopy above their heads, the middle-aged man who had just left was smiling.

Just when this person was about to show up again, he suddenly felt a cold breath. Looking back, a masked man stood beside him, waved at him, and then turned and left. The middle-aged man hurriedly chased him until he stopped in front of a pool.

"Zhao Zhi from Zhao State greets you."

"How come the president of Zhao State's Martial Arts Academy has time to come to the mountains for a stroll?"

Lin Jiang said. He touched the mask on his face, which was somewhat inconsistent with his face. This mask was picked up from the village, perhaps it belonged to a child in the village.

Lin Jiang felt that he had to make a mask in the future. He was not going to meet people with his real face because he was afraid of trouble. Lin Jiang remembered that when he was in power, he asked the painters of Xia State to draw a lot of portraits, in case he was recognized, it would be very troublesome.

"I heard that Zheng State had a martial saint, so I came to pay a visit. I wonder what your name is?"

"Guigu, call me Mr. Guigu from now on."

Lin Jiang thought of the mask on his face. It looked very ferocious, like an evil ghost, so let's call him Guigu.

Zhao Zhi knew that Lin Jiang was making up a name, but he was not angry. He said, "I wonder if Mr. Guigu is interested in coming to my Zhao State. My Zhao State is the top feudal state of Xia State. It covers an area of ​​thousands of miles, has millions of soldiers and warriors. If you come, my king can grant you the position of general of the country, title, house, gorgeous clothes, beautiful women..."

Zhao Zhi put forward his own conditions. What he said was the top enjoyment in the world. He could become one of the most respected nobles in Xia State in one leap, which is the life pursuit of countless people.

"Not interested"

"Mr. is a martial saint, it is normal that he does not covet mundane things. Then are you interested in the magic of Emperor Xia?"

"The magical skills of Emperor Xia?"

"Don't you know, sir?"

"I don't know. Is there any problem?"

"No, Emperor Xia was the first monarch of the Xia Kingdom, and only he could be crowned emperor. Emperor Xia once set up three martial arts steles at the gate of the original Xia Palace, which recorded six top martial arts for the people of the Xia Palace to learn for free. However, in the 335th year of the Xia calendar, King Tang of Xia destroyed the martial arts steles on the grounds that the martial artists were bullying their superiors and committing crimes. He also strictly ordered other feudal states and their territories not to pass on the skills privately, and they could only learn in the Martial Academy of the Xia Palace.

Later, in the 650th year of the Xia calendar, a flood destroyed the capital of Xia. The Xia Kingdom moved its capital and completely abandoned it. Our Zhao Kingdom sent 180 members of the royal family to find the Taiyi Divine Sword among the six top martial arts in the abandoned capital.

Mr. Guiguzi may not know the origin of the magical skills of Emperor Xia. These six magical skills are the most powerful martial arts secrets in the world today, and are also recognized as the easiest martial arts secrets to achieve a martial saint..."

"I'm already a martial saint."

Lin Jiang curled his lips. He thought it was something else. It was the martial arts he had carved on the stone tablet. This was not the top level. These six martial arts were simplified by Lin Jiang from some immortal cultivation techniques. He had fully considered the situation of ordinary people at that time. The techniques he referred to were only at the Xuan level.

"People who practice martial arts pursue the ultimate realm of martial arts. The difference between a martial saint and a martial saint is also huge. Mr. Guigu doesn't want to pursue the ultimate realm of martial arts?"

Zhao Zhi said. There is no immortal way in the world today. Ordinary people practice martial arts, either to pursue fame and fortune, or to pursue the ultimate realm of martial arts. He didn't believe that he couldn't beat this person.

"Still not interested" "

Mr. Guigu, Zhao came here with sincerity. Don't reject people from a thousand miles away."

Zhao Zhi was a little angry. He didn't want to drink a toast, right? Anyway, he would not wait for this person to be recruited by Zheng State.

"I'm not interested in being a general in any feudal state now, go ahead"

"Mr. Guigu, are you really so unkind?"

"I see, you won't be content without a fight, go ahead"

"Then Zhao will just obey your orders?"

Zhao Zhi was furious when he heard this, and he didn't waste any more words. He drew out his sword and stabbed it with a sharp sword energy that instantly stabbed at Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang didn't dodge or avoid, but blocked Zhao Zhi's sword energy with just a burst of energy, and then reached out to clamp the tip of Zhao Zhi's sword.

"You..."

"Pah"

Zhao Zhi was extremely shocked, and then in his horrified eyes, Lin Jiang's hand trembled, and the priceless sword in his hand turned into fragments.

"Go"

Lin Jiang then slapped his palm, and the fragments flew in front of Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi roared, condensing his whole body of energy to try to resist the fragments.

"Puff, puff..."

But the fragments still pierced his palm and shoulder, but perfectly avoided all vital points.

Zhao Zhi half-knelt on the ground, raised his head, and stared at Lin Jiang with a very complicated expression. Finally, he said dejectedly, "I lost. Today I found out that there is such a master as you in the world. Zhao will be at your disposal."

"Did I say I would kill you?"

"This..."

"Find a place to sit by yourself."

Lin Jiang smiled, then picked up the fishing rod from the side and went fishing by the pond again.

"Sir, I will remember your kindness in not killing me. But I have to say that you should not work for Zheng. Zheng has been established for more than 200 years, and has produced many incompetent rulers. Now..."

"Let's not talk about this. If we want to talk, let's talk about Northern Frontier. Do you know the situation in Northern Frontier?"

"I know. The Kingdom of Monsters has invaded. The Immortal Sect, Martial Sect, and Clan Alliance in Northern Frontier are all unable to stop them. They have asked for help from Xia many times. But in Xia's situation, how can they have the strength to support Northern Frontier?"

"The Kingdom of Monsters?"

"Yes, it is the Kingdom of Monsters. I don't know where the Kingdom of Monsters came from. There is a big world to the north of Northern Frontier. There used to be some small countries there, but just two hundred years ago, these small countries were all destroyed, and then the Kingdom of Monsters appeared."

"What are monsters like?"

"Half human, half beast. There are snake people with snakes on the lower body and humans on the upper body. There are tiger people with human bodies and tiger claws. There are horse people with horse bodies and human heads. They can travel thousands of miles a day. There are also those who look the same as humans but have no human intelligence..."

"Are these monsters very strong?"

Lin Jiang suddenly thought of the monster tribes in the extreme north of Beizhou. Could it be that in this era, these monster tribes have grown stronger?

"Very strong, these monsters are extremely strong, even our soldiers who train their bodies can't beat them. Most of them are extremely strong and can lift a thousand-jin tripod. Moreover, most of them have a strange power, which is innate and similar to the internal strength we cultivate."

"There are not many monsters, right?"

"Indeed, there are not many, otherwise those forces in the northern border would have been destroyed long ago, but the monsters have been capturing women, as if they want to rely on women to give birth to offspring for them. Those people in the northern border are constantly defeated, and a large number of women have been captured. Maybe the number of monsters will increase dramatically in the future,"

Zhao Zhi said, and Lin Jiang became interested all of a sudden. He really didn't know about this. It seems that he has to go to the north to take a look when he has a chance.
