Chapter 167 Undercurrent

Tang Ming endured for many years and finally waited until Kou Zhen died.

Lu Jing was much older than Kou Zhen. Even if he didn't die, he could hardly move and couldn't exert 80% of his strength.

He was only about 70 years old and still had a trace of his peak.

As for the younger generation, in fact, no one could beat him, and more importantly, he had helpers.

Murong Yan, the martial saint of the desert, was a direct disciple of Murong Xuan.

"Before the ancestor broke the void, he told me that you would lead us back to our ancestral land one day. Thank God, you are finally here." The middle-aged Hu people smiled.

Beside Tang Ming was a middle-aged man with pale skin and red hair. He had short hair and wore strange clothes. This was the Ice Emperor of Luosha Country and an extremely powerful grandmaster.

His strength changed according to the environment of heaven and earth. In summer, he could only exert half of his strength. In winter, he was a peak grandmaster, close to breaking the void.

The Ice Emperor said in a strange Chinese accent: "Mr. Tang, you really didn't lie to me. This place is moderately hot and cold. It is really a world of milk and honey."

"Haha, I didn't lie to you, did I? We will each take half of the kingdom we conquered." Tang Ming said.

As the Dao Sect unified the country, Tang Ming had nowhere to go, so he kept wandering north. Who knew he would wander to the Raksha Kingdom.

The Raksha Kingdom is always in ice and snow, lacking food and miscellaneous daily necessities. I don't know how many people freeze to death every year. The desire for a warm place is deep in the bone.

Since learning about such a place, the Ice Emperor mobilized the power of the whole country to build warships. More than 20 warships loaded with 10,000 Raksha elites came to this land.

"Okay, half each!"

The two had their own ulterior motives.

Tang Ming looked down on the Hu Lu, and he just borrowed the power of the Hu Lu, and then he would cross the river and demolish the bridge.

The Hulu army is sharp, but it also needs logistics. If they want to gain a firm foothold in the local area, they have to rely on the locals. If they kill them, they don't have to worry about the Luosha people invading with the whole country's strength, which is simply unrealistic.

What the Ice Emperor thought in his mind was to bow his head temporarily, seize power after gaining a firm foothold, and use a certain place as a bridgehead to continuously accept his people.

Soon, everyone came to the north of Liaodong.

"Stay here first..." Tang Ming looked at Murong Yan, "The people of Tianshan Sect will help transport supplies. We must have our own base, otherwise we can only be bandits and cannot rule the world."

Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, with only some wild people at most, that is, the descendants of Goguryeo.

Relying on these people to establish their own base, it will not be too late to go south later, otherwise there will be no supplies, and half of them will starve to death if they go south blindly.

After arranging everything, Tang Ming went to Fanyang, Youzhou.

I wonder if any old friends survived that year?

Hou Gang's rebellion was unexpected. After his hometown was stolen, all the noble families suffered a severe blow. The Tang family was destroyed, and other noble families did not survive. However, he heard that there were still many people living among the people.

Tang Ming disguised himself as a middle-aged scholar and rode a black horse to his hometown.

More than 30 years passed in a hurry, and he returned with a head full of white hair.

When he came to the small border city, Tang Ming vaguely remembered that the city was very poor, with a population of two or three thousand, and most people even had tattered clothes. When he saw the decline of people's livelihood, he secretly vowed to change the status quo.

Now it looks good from the outside.

The moment you enter the city, the prosperous atmosphere hits you.

The streets are clean and paved with bluestone slabs. There are no houses on both sides of the street. There are shops, including restaurants, restaurants, tailors, grain and oil, groceries, and various special snack shops.

This is not a decoration, but there are real people consuming. There are rich people with gorgeous clothes and farmers and craftsmen with ordinary clothes.

"Come and take a look. The brocade of Shu, the homespun of Lingnan, and the cloth shoes of Jianye are all available. No one is cheated.".

Tang Ming was shocked at the first sight. The population has increased tenfold. In the past, many poor places used to barter. Where did the people here get the money?

What is going on?

It is hard to understand.

Tang Ming wandered around and couldn't help being shocked by the changes in the past thirty years.

There are definitely poor people, but not as miserable as before. At least there is no problem with having food to eat.

He began to doubt whether all this makes sense.

"Without an emperor, there will be no long-term prosperity. I am afraid that this prosperity will not last long."

There is nothing now. When there is a shortage of successors in the future, there will be ambitious people who will come up and disrupt the world.

He can be sure that Kou Zhen's death has made many people think about other things.

"If I take over, I will definitely do better than them."

National hatred and family hatred, Tang Ming could not agree with them emotionally or rationally.

...

Mirror Realm, Yinshan Sect.

Four hundred years passed in a hurry.

Hong Xiangling is still alive, and she is even only at the peak of foundation building.

In the dark secret room, Hong Xiangling's black hair turned into pure gold, and her pupils also turned into pure gold. She has the appearance of a monkey, but her face is hairless.

By absorbing the power of the prisoner dragon, she has turned into a demon cultivator, and a pure-blooded demon cultivator with very pure bloodline.

Although four hundred years have passed, there are still more than two hundred years of life left.

The speed of cultivation of the demon race is a little slower, but two hundred years is more than enough to break through to the golden elixir.

After reaching the golden elixir, there is still a thousand years of life, which is a lot of time.

On the other side of the mirror, in Wutong Cave Heaven, Xu Xuan is also practicing.

The spiritual energy is drawn from the void and flows into the body continuously, and the body surface emits a faint light.

After a long time, Xu Xuan opened his eyes, and the light slowly converged.

"Huh... Except for the blood of mountain and sea monsters, there is nothing in this world to improve my strength."

The internal force of the warrior counts as one, but if it is not more than a thousand years, it is not even qualified to refine the Sun Flowing Pearl Pill.

Another one is the blood of mountain and sea monsters.

Xu Xuan took out the myth map drawn by Xiang Youxian, with many small dots marked on it, and a few of them have been crossed out. These are explored, but most of them are fake.

Maybe I was lucky the first time and found the real thing. When I came back, I looked for several places on the way, but didn't find anything. It was just a rumor spread by the locals, or the same thing was spread more and more outrageously.

The remaining treasures are the so-called immortal caves. If all of these are explored, it is basically possible to break through the golden elixir.

"I can only wait for the years to pass. When I reach the golden elixir stage, I should be able to leave this world."

Xu Xuan thought.

Then he looked at the mirror, and his data appeared in the mirror.

Name: Xu Xuan

Lifespan: 161/370

Realm: mid-stage foundation building, pure body, double pupils at level one

Kung Fu: Golden Gate Jade Lock Pure Tranquility Secret (perfect), Supreme Nine Heavens Inner Canon (minor success 86%) double pupils at level one (great success 79%)

Spells: Huagai Dan (minor success 24%) Hun Tian Skull Curse Flag (perfect) Soul Searching Technique (perfect) Heavenly Snake Breathing Technique (great success 56%) Six Dings and Six Jias Yin Shen Technique (perfect) Ziwu Yang Gang (great success 45%) Shen Zu Tong (great success 43%) Tian Er Tong (great success 79%)...

Xu Xuan looked at the purple pupils in the mirror and thought: "The double pupils are about to be perfect. When I reach the second level of the double pupil realm, I should be able to awaken the ability of true fire to transform into martial arts. I am afraid that my combat power will be even stronger by then."

The double pupils are fully powered up, showing a more dazzling gold color.

More Sun Flowing Pearls and Huagai Dan are needed. Huagai Dan is a pill developed by Xiang Ling to absorb blood, and the effect is surprisingly good.

There is nothing much to say about the rest, it is nothing more than the increase of proficiency.

As for the realm, it is still the middle stage of foundation building, with no changes; the life span is only a little over 200 years, which is not too abundant.

"The prisoner dragon bloodline does not increase the life span, is it because the level is too low?" Xu Xuan felt a little regretful.

The phoenix bloodline is really rare. Although the prisoner dragon bloodline is also a scrambled existence in the mirror world, it is still far behind the phoenix.

Xu Xuan walked out of the cave, and the melodious sound of the piano came from outside the cave.

After forty years, the sound of the piano is still beautiful. ,

Outside the bamboo forest, a woman in a water-green long skirt played the piano with her bare hands, and Yuan Tiangang and two young men held their breath and listened quietly not far away.

Although the sound of the piano was wonderful, they had no intention of listening, and their eyes were all on the bamboo forest.

After decades, the True Lord appeared again.

As a god in the minds of warriors, he attracted everyone's attention wherever he went.

Soon, the sound of the piano stopped.

There was a round of applause outside the bamboo forest.

"Yes, Hanwei, your piano sound has not changed." Xu Xuan smiled.

"Disciple Yuan Tiangang!"

"Warrior letter, Li Zhen pays homage to the True Lord!"

Xu Xuan looked at the two young men. Li Zhen was as delicate as his mother, and the other was much more burly.

Yuan Tiangang took the opportunity to introduce: "These two are the most talented people of the younger generation. True Lord, what kind of exercises do you think are suitable for them to practice?"

"Exercise? It depends on your own heart. You already have your own ideas, so you don't need to ask me."

Xu Xuan took out a list and handed it to Yuan Tiangang.

"Please collect the materials on it for me."

After eating Hong Xiangling for forty years, she was almost bankrupted. Several of her disciples died. These materials are considered compensation for her.

"As you command!"

The three of them went down the mountain, leaving only Xu Xuan and Gu Hanwei.

As the sun set, the woman played the piano, and the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on her shoulders.

Xu Xuan let out a long sigh and smiled: "Many people are gone."

"Yes."

Never come back.
