This is how immortals are cultivated

Being able to roam freely in the military formation is also due to the support of many factors such as mounts and friendly forces.

I heard that the man did not ride a horse, but fought on foot.

No matter how powerful a general is, it is absolutely impossible to break the army formation of 200 people by fighting on foot.

Hearing what Captain Wu said, the Huiquan County Magistrate just smiled awkwardly.

After bidding farewell to the Lord of Huiquan County, Captain Wu led his soldiers straight to their destination.

While driving on the road, Captain Wu was still communicating with his deputy general:

“I made a profit this time.”

"Not only can you make a lot of money, but you can also get military merit."

This time they came here in the name of suppressing bandits, and every head they took was considered a military merit.

"There are more than 40 households in Fangjia Village. We can then go to the neighboring villages and gather a hundred people."

"With this military achievement, I will honor Eunuch Liu and this captain will be able to advance further."

"Then I would like to congratulate you on your promotion."

"Hahahaha, no problem..."

Captain Wu and his group were all riding horses and they walked very fast. They soon arrived less than 200 meters away from Fangjia Village.

“This is it…”

"Let's kill everyone in the village. Maybe the man heard the noise and ran away. Send brothers to search the surrounding area carefully. If we find anyone, they might be the rebel's accomplices. Kill them immediately."

Captain Wu was making arrangements, but at this moment he saw a young man eight feet tall and slender walking out of the village entrance.

The young man was wearing a green Taoist robe, but he didn't look like the person among the ridges of the field.

What is striking is that the young man is carrying a large bag of things on his shoulders, which seem to be stick-like objects and look heavy.

The young man put down the things on his body and untied the cloth that wrapped him, revealing a scattered pile of guns, spears, swords and other weapons.

At this point, Captain Wu also realized that the Taoist priest dressed like this was probably the strong man that the Huiquan County Lord had mentioned.

"What do you mean, is one person going to resort to all-out violence?"

Captain Wu laughed heartily.

The young man was still making movements, and he picked up a spear from the weapons on the ground.

But he didn't hold it straight, but with his backhand, as if he was about to throw a spear.

Two hundred meters away, Captain Wu looked at the young man as if he were a fool, using a rather heavy ash pole as a javelin.

The deputy general did not need Captain Wu's order. He picked up the longbow hanging next to the saddle and drew his bow and arrow.

This deputy general may not have any other skills, but he is very confident in his archery skills.

At a distance of two hundred meters, he was very confident that he could hit the opponent.

The bowstring was plucked and the arrow was shot out.

The arrow flew straight and accurately towards the young man's forehead.

After shooting, looking at the amplitude of the arrow, the deputy general already had the feedback of hitting the target.

He had shot this arrow very well, and it must have been aimed at the opponent's name.

Under the deputy general's confident gaze, everything happened as he expected. The arrow got closer and closer to the young man until it landed on the young man's head, right in the center of his forehead.

Then....

Then, with a crash, the arrow broke.

Yes, the arrow landed accurately on the opponent's forehead, then broke directly and fell to the ground.

The deputy general was stunned.

Not only him, even Captain Wu who saw this scene was stunned.

Although it cannot penetrate armor at a distance of two hundred meters, it can easily penetrate flesh and blood and break bones.

They never expected that the arrows, which had accumulated energy during the flight, could not penetrate the skin or even break the flesh.

Just as they were stunned, the young man in Taoist robes had already swung his arm and thrown the spear in his hand.

The moment he threw the spear, the ground beneath his feet immediately cracked and sank.

The spear made a deafening explosion when it left his hand.

An umbrella-shaped air layer faintly appeared around the gun body.

A "pop" sound was heard beside Captain Wu.

Then he felt something hit his cheek, causing him some pain.

When he subconsciously reached out to touch his cheek, he felt the warmth on his cheek.

When he put down his hand and moved his fingers in front of him to check, he found that it was a piece of minced meat, very finely divided, as if it had been ground by a huge stone mill.

Looking around him again, he saw that there was no one above the horse beside him. The deputy general had disappeared, and a red mist with pink tints was slowly spreading around the horse.

The horse's back was also covered with such pieces of meat. Looking down, one could see the lower half of a body still hanging next to the horse's feet.

Captain Wu swallowed and slowly turned around.

The soldiers behind him, in the row behind Captain Wu, there were about three or four horses with no one on them, only a blood mist that had not completely dissipated.

Later on, although there was someone immediately there, there was a huge explosive hole in his chest.

Soldiers with bloody holes in their chests were falling off their horses one after another.

Then further back, there was no one on the horse, only screams from behind.

Captain Wu saw a scene that he would never forget.

Four or five soldiers were flying, their backs pressed tightly together.

A blood-stained spear strung them together and carried them flying.

Finally, he knocked several people off their horses and fell to the ground.

Captain Wu's brain froze for a moment, but his hands holding the reins were shaking.

He turned around and looked at the young man who was walking towards him silently but was already very close, only ten meters away.

He saw a faint white mark on the young man's forehead, which seemed to be left by the arrow just now.

"It's none of my business. It's the County Master of Huiquan County."

"Can..."

"No."

---

In a pavilion beside the official road outside Huiquan County.

The Huiquan County Master was drinking by himself in the pavilion. There was a pot of warm wine on the empty seat opposite him.

"I hope those killers won't go too far."

Fangjia Village is gone, that’s for sure.

This is a rare opportunity to earn military merit, and they are not barbarians from outside the Great Wall, so that group of killers will definitely not let them go.

When Huiquan County Lord was talking to himself, he did not notice that the servants behind him suddenly began breathing rapidly.

With a 'bang', a heavy object fell on the table.

The Huiquan County Magistrate immediately looked up and was about to curse, but after seeing the thing, he could not make a sound.

It was a human head, and the owner of the head had just parted with him the time it took to burn an incense stick.

The young man in Taoist robe sat down at the table opposite him, picked up the still warm wine and drank it all, then grabbed the meat on the table and started eating.

The movements are not polite, but they have a kind of Taoist charm and beauty.

The young man's Taoist robe was clean and tidy, without even a wrinkle.

Seeing that Huiquan County Master didn't pick up his chopsticks, the young man even said in a friendly manner:

"Eat, why don't you move your chopsticks?"

"If you don't eat it now, you won't be able to eat it later."

PS: I have something to do today, so there is only one chapter (' . . . `)

Chapter 169: Please, Taoist Priest, Save Huiquan County

Daxia Dynasty, April.

Last year's winter wheat and autumn crops were poor, and this year's spring rains were delayed, so famine has already occurred in the three southern states.

Grain merchants took the opportunity to hoard grain and raise prices, while the government's taxes and the powerful's commission became increasingly severe, and a large number of refugees began to appear.

As they could no longer survive in their own state, the refugees fled to other states with their families to escape the famine.

Yongzhou, Huiquan County.

A middle-aged Taoist priest riding a donkey appeared on the official road.

If it weren't for the Taoist robe, this middle-aged man with wrinkles on his dark face and frosted brows would be no different from the old farmer between the ridges of the field. Or, in other words, he would be the old farmer wearing a Taoist robe.

Next to the donkey followed a burly man, about eight feet tall, who was also wearing a Taoist robe. The wide robe could not hide his strong muscles.

The donkey stopped, and the middle-aged Taoist sitting on its back suddenly stared blankly at the nearby Huiquan County.

"teacher?"

The man standing by saw his teacher in a daze and couldn't help but remind him.

The middle-aged Taoist came to his senses and shook his head.

"Did you see anything?" the disciple asked respectfully.

His teacher was not the kind of person who wore a Taoist robe, bought a Taoist certificate, and went around cheating people, but a true practitioner.

Not only did he read the classics of various schools and had excellent medical skills, he was also proficient in the art of physiognomy and qigong.

Even famine in the states was foreseen early on.

"I don't know what exactly happened, but there seems to be changes in Huiquan County..." Zhang Jue said.

He saw a county under the rule of law, where the law should have been majestic, but the law was decadent and broken.

This kind of weather represents Huiquan County. The rule of the Great Xia Dynasty is no longer there, and serious problems have arisen in the county government.

This situation often occurs when a rebellion breaks out.

But if there was a rebellion, Huiquan County would have been filled with disaster and chaos, but it still maintained order, and the order was even very stable.

After traveling around the world for decades, this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

"You'll find out once you enter the city..."

Zhang Jue rushed here overnight.

Famine has occurred in Binzhou next door, and a large number of refugees have fled here. These refugees are almost starving to death and are in urgent need of a batch of food relief.

Therefore, he came to Huiquan County, the closest city and county that was connected to Yong and Bin states and could provide food, to seek help.

Zhang Jue and his disciples continued forward and entered the city.

He first found a grain shop in the city to check the grain prices in Huiquan County today.

Originally, he was in a very heavy mood.

This journey to seek food was destined to be difficult.

He didn't believe that Yongzhou would not receive news of the famine in several surrounding states.

The most cunning people are businessmen, and the people who have the most flexible information are also businessmen.

The grain merchants in Yongzhou should have known about the famine, so it is unlikely that they would not hoard grain and cause the price of grain to rise sharply.

However, when he arrived at the grain shop and saw the wooden sign with the grain price, his eyes widened.
