What character did you drop

◎The alien race that goes deep into the hinterland. ◎

Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like a shuttle.

Under the destructive education of his master, Bei Xiuwu, Fusu, who is at the third level of the Huang rank, constantly fights with strange beasts, cultivates the basics, and then reviews his daily strengths and weaknesses under the guidance of his master... and then continues Practice, and finally go back to the medicated bath to recuperate.

After a whole day, I would fall asleep as soon as I touched the bed, and the alarm clock of the Jinpingyinping brand would wake me up with high efficiency when I was a genius. The days passed so fast that half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

The young man who grew up in the borderlands that had been ravaged and invaded by foreign races quickly followed the rhythm of the Xingdu Palace, and gradually got rid of the shape of bones and bones. After filling the skeleton with flesh, he gradually became tall and strong.

"Tsk tsk, it looks like you can grow even taller after raising it later."

As a fire essence, Zhuqing had already decided her height and appearance in this life at the moment of transformation, so she looked enviously at the young man who was about the same height as her, feeling very complicated.

"Could it be that this is the physique of a border guard? I wandered around the border gate for several years before being subdued by the palace lord, and I didn't look like this!"

Over the past few days, Li Mo has actively trained the little girl from the beginning, but now she has been assimilated by the gold and silver bottles, and has become a little meat dumpling fed by the beautiful maid of the Wanyao Palace every day.

She was listening to the conversation between Zhuqing and Brother Fusu, she blinked her big moist eyes, tied two chirp with five-colored silk and swayed up and down with the movement of chewing, and said vaguely:

"Susu Guoguo's father is very tall, almost as tall as three Momo!"

The frontiers of the empire have been dealing with alien races for many years. The two sides say it is a hostile position, but there are many examples of intermarriage in private...As for whether it is voluntary or involuntary, I will not mention it here for the time being.

Over time, the blood of the foreign races has been diluted to a certain extent, which has actually allowed many humans to acquire special abilities, and increased their strength, cultivation, and even physical changes.

──It's like Fusu's father, who has a very striking physique. If it wasn't for being too weak due to serious injuries and long-term poor physical condition, it might not be that he has no chance to fight against the beast Xiangbai.

──Of course, it is impossible for Fusu himself to have the opportunity to awaken the blood of the black phoenix and be 'discovered' by Bei Xiuwu.

"It's also thanks to Senior Brother Zhuqing, I feel that my physical condition is getting better and better."

Fusu's personality didn't change much, he seemed to always remember the energy of that night, and his attitude towards those who had saved his life was quite gentle and humble.

As for the other people in Xingdu Palace, Fusu was facing a completely different personality.

"Hey, no matter how many good things you say, the fact that you need to do missions from sects is unavoidable."

Zhuqing made a joke at Fusu, then patted the boy's broad shoulders, and said with concern in his eyes:

"This time I have to go to Lan Ruoguan to work as a night watchman for two months. Your partner is from the Hall of Lost Souls, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

The reason why Xingdu Palace's status in the empire is so high is that apart from the fact that they will regularly visit various places to find and kill the nails and running dogs of the foreign race, and at the same time they will cooperate with the rotation of the frontier defense and send disciples to take turns to guard it.

One reason is that apart from the fixed time period of the year, there will occasionally be sporadic small groups of alien beasts invading.

Secondly, it is also because the foreign race has always had a high enthusiasm for various internal breakthroughs, and there are many lone rangers who will sneak into the border city to "hunt" and "steal incense", which often brings troubles to the people here.

──The disciples of the left and right Xingdu palaces all need experience in cultivation and combat, so as long as they have cultivated beyond the third level of the human rank, they will automatically be included in the corresponding task scope and leave the palace for training.

Although the manpower of each palace seems to be sufficient, other places in the Xingdu Palace also need to be filled with manpower. Therefore, the places that accommodate the most disciples, led by the Martial Arts Field, become the main force to support the border.

The reason why Elder Guanghe and the disciples of Yanwuchang were so confident before, and they didn't think that Bei Xiuwu would take them under the knife, was also for this reason.

"So when Zhenbei Hou...was it also because of improper support from the disciples in the Martial Arts Field?"

In fact, Fu Su had wanted to ask about this matter many times before, but he had not joined Xingdu Palace not long ago, and he had not formally apprenticed to a teacher, so he always felt that he was not qualified to ask.

Taking advantage of Zhuqing's initiative to initiate the topic, Fusu considered for a long time, and decided to ask this question that has been accumulated in his heart more clearly.

"So you're still struggling with this?"

Seeing the stubborn expression on the young man's face, Zhu Qing suddenly understood why the person who had clearly specified an action before and never asked the reason would hesitate this time.

"Haha, next time you have a question, you can speak directly. I won't mind, and I hope you don't mind either."

As a cultivator, although Xingdu Gong doesn't think it's a good idea to cut off the emotions and desires, I still hope that everyone will learn to actively deal with their personal state, so as not to stagnate for too long and become a poisonous thorn in the heart, which will lead to catastrophe in the future.

"Stupid, Susu!"

"Susu, generous!"

"Susu, come on!"

Gold Ping and Silver Ping came out from nowhere, and they happily climbed to Fusu's shoulders like a "hey hey hey hey" like climbing over a mountain, and shouted encouragement to him.

Fusu didn't know whether the two little girls knew about their past.

But with them and Zhuqing, it is indeed a relief from the previous tension.

"Yes, I want to ask, the former Marquis of Zhenbei failed to defend the border. One said that it was because the disciples of the sect who were supposed to support him were late and made mistakes. This caused a room to collapse, causing thousands of people to be displaced."

Fusu took a deep breath, and finally asked in Zhuqing's encouraging eyes.

"If you're asking about this matter, I don't know much about it, but if you look back from the timeline, it's true that the disciples of the Dugong Sect of the line went to help."

Zhuqing didn't answer Fusu's question directly, but blinked and gave a hint,

"Actually, I think you can investigate some things yourself. These are recorded inside the sect, and there will be records left at the gate."

"What's more, when you go to Lan Ruoguan this time, you can take the initiative to fight for the job of night patrol or watchman. My palace master said that this is the most rapid growth task."

◆

"Huh? You said you want to participate in the night watch?"

Xingdu Palace gave the disciples a relatively loose time in terms of missions, so that they could take a breather from the intensive training, and at the same time be able to make some advance preparations for the missions.

The Hall of Falling Souls belongs to the ten halls of Xingdu Palace. In terms of combat effectiveness, it ranks in the top three, and in terms of important actions, it is also in the top five, second only to the Hall of Ten Thousand Medicines managed by Uncle An Yi.

The owner of the hall is Che Ju Zhenren, who is said to be a skilled craftsman who is good at making spiritual weapons. He enjoys a high reputation in the empire. work.

Naturally, such a hall master has a lot of resources, and the number of disciples will not be too small.

This time, Fusu is paired with Chen Dengyi, one of the most powerful registered disciples of Che Juzhen. quick.

In Zhuqing's words, people should not be judged by their appearance: it is unreasonable to be able to swing a hammer with such thin hands despite being a craftsman.

Chen Dengyi's temper was not as weird as Master Che Ju's real person, but his character was very stubborn and serious. Basically, every word Fusu said, this person would slam him.

"Night watch work is indeed dangerous. Dangerous work can also be seen as an opportunity. Opportunities are people who can grow...then do it."

It's just that sometimes the threshold for Chen Dengyi to be persuaded and willing to act according to the same commitment fluctuates, so that Fusu, who has just been refused by Chen Dengyi to stay in the arrangement, almost fails to turn around.

──You are a craftsman who explodes every day, and you can't live in the inn with a hard-working practitioner, so why do you want to live in Tianzi No. [-] Restaurant?

──That's right, Chen Dengyi wanted to pay for the house, but didn't you think about the possibility that the lives of the two of them might be lost?

"But since the work of night patrol has been done, it is fine to do it alone according to your cultivation level, so I will take over the work of guarding people, and it happens that we can go the same way."

Chen Dengyi thought for a while 'cautiously', and sat on the grand master's chair straddling his sword, with one arm around his chest and the other hand rubbing his chin, and he made this decision briskly for a long time.

Fusu:?

Fusu:!

"Hahaha... You are really interesting, what my master said is really true."

Chen Dengyi was not annoyed when he saw the change in Fusu's expression, but simply explained to him:

"Before we set off this time, Master also mentioned that I should do these two tasks. He also said that according to the Palace Master's temperament, he would definitely find a way to hint you to go like this, but I don't know if you can understand it."

"It's a good thing you took the initiative to say so. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to open my mouth. After all, the death rate of these two missions is quite high."

This time, it was the young Fusu who was surprised, because Chen Dengyi looked thin and weak. Although his strength seemed to be okay, Fusu had never seen the opponent make a move along the way.

"I have an occupational disease!"

Chen Dengyi stretched out his hand to touch his head, and confirmed that the beautiful and thick hair was still there, so he stretched out his fingers with a smile, tapped Fusu and said:

"My cultivation base is high, mainly because I have a high comprehension ability in refining weapons, and I have a lot of enlightenment, and the rewards from the Dao of Heaven are not small..."

"But it is also because of this that I am clumsy when I am practicing. Master thinks that I can repair it by gaining practical experience."

The border is dangerous, and foreign races and ordinary people will mix together with a wrong eye, waiting for opportunities to do all kinds of crazy things.

During normal inspections in daylight, foreign races are not likely to act rashly, so they will be handed over to ordinary border residents and defenders to deploy their defenses.

The disciples sent by Xingdu Palace and other forces are different. Because of their cultivation, many of them have special blood and physique, so they will be invited to take on the more dangerous tasks of night patrol and watch.

──If no disciples come over at the same time, the two vacancies will be filled by the garrison themselves, and ordinary people will not even think about touching them.

"Well, actual combat is indeed very effective in regurgitating cultivation bases."

Fu Su didn't dare to say that he had actual combat training almost every day when he was in Xingdu Palace, and Bei Xiuwu himself performed the knife, basically living in the shadow of the edge of life and death every day.

But this does not affect Fusu's recognition of this concept, and he even said to Chen Dengyi with encouragement:

"I don't know how to refine weapons, but I think this kind of actual combat also needs to be practiced in real combat, and maybe I can have a different understanding."

Chen Dengyi: ...

Chen Dengyi: Sorry, I was the one who was ashamed!

◆

Lan Ruoguan is said to have just finished a war with foreign races a while ago, and it is still in the process of repairing the war. The city wall is almost completely unrecognizable. If it weren't for the garrison patrolling above it as usual, checking people who entered and exited Lan Ruoguan.

When Fusu and Chen Dengyi arrived, there was not even an elephant coming to pick them up, only a man with a stooped back and two green bulls in hand to meet them,

Both shabby and sad.

Chen Dengyi and Fu Su didn't need to think about it, but if they were replaced by other disciples, they might be caught in a frying pan at the very beginning of their trip to defend the army, causing no one to be at peace.

"Hey, I'm really sorry for the two adults, but because there are always aliens wandering around the border recently, the general had to make the decision to expel them early this morning, leading the team to hunt down the aliens..."

This person claimed to be the master of Lan Ruoguan Guanzhu. He didn't look very old, but his face was quite vicissitudes. It could be seen that he had been tempered by the hunger, cold and wind and frost of the frontier fortress.

"Since there are aliens, you can directly tell us the location of Master Guan, and we will help in the past."

Chen Dengyi was unusually straightforward, and he spoke straight to the point. In the eyes of the master who seemed a little cowering and terrified, he would probably become a tough image.

They have just arrived, and both sides are still not sure about each other's pulse.Judging from Fusu's past experience at the border gate, the master might not only not tell them the location of Master Guan's hand, but also be more vigilant.

"Ham, look at this little mouth, the Lord Guan's side is not a big problem, the main reason is to let the people have a good year, so I plan to take the initiative and threaten a little."

Sure enough, although the master seemed to be soft-hearted, and his feasible path was tight, he refused to let Fu Su and Chen Dengyi say "I want to help" again.

The master even set up a table of high-standard food and drinks in the border area, accompanied him personally, and kept introducing the customs and culture of Lan Ruoguan, where Fu Su and Chen Dengyi could play in Lan Ruoguan, and what local products they could buy. go back.

Fu Su: "Sure enough."

Chen Dengyi: "You actually think of the two of us as idiots!"

Fu Su: "It's not surprising. We were so active when we first came up. Everyone would think that we were going to grab power."

Chen Dengyi: "We have all come out to experience, we are not active, is it possible that we are going to spend a lot of time?"

Hearing what Chen Dengyi said, Fu Su was a little embarrassed to say that when he was still under Beizhenhou's command, some cultivators came here to do this.

Fortunately, it is a troubled time, and there is no shortage of people who rely on this line of work to make a living. Under the arrangement of Bei Zhenhou, they finally managed to fool the temper of those disciples, otherwise, they would be uneasy.

"Anyway, since we've already told that master, let's start the inspection tonight."

Chen Dengyi is a man of action, not to mention that the master invited him to dinner, it was wine, rather it was old wine mixed with water, it was turbid, unpalatable, and more refreshing, and now he was so sober that he wanted to go to Lan Ruoguan three times.

"Okay, then let's get the uniforms and tools first."

Fu Su did not object to this proposal, he even took out some self-defense weapons that Bei Xiuwu gave him, and reminded Chen Dengyi at the same time:

"We're new here, and we don't know much about many things. It's best to bring more self-defense items for self-protection."

The young man doesn't know how other masters and apprentices get along with each other, but his own master has a meticulous and thoughtful way that is completely different from his indifferent appearance──

From warm clothes, to low-key and elegant outfits from head to toe that can be attended to occasions, keepsakes belonging to Xingdu Palace, food, pills, progress planning of cultivation, and letter hairpins that can call for help at any time.

Then there was a jade pendant that sealed Bei Xiuwu's three strands of sword energy.

Although Fusu is Bei Xiuwu's only disciple now, the relationship should be different from that of other masters and apprentices.

But Fusu is not the kind of Xiaobai who knows little about the things of self-cultivation. Just judging from the gold bottle and silver bottle, and Zhuqing's emotional expression, what the master gave is indeed quite rare.

Fusu doesn't have the kind of temperament that is so cherished that he is almost small-minded. In fact, Fusu is better at using the resources at hand effectively after enduring poverty and hunger.

And because of getting along with each other for nearly a year, receiving care from many people, and feeling unprecedented care and warmth, Fu Su will only cherish his little life more than ever.

"Ah... Really, I really didn't expect that the two adults are so strong, and they don't even need to rest, so they will participate in the inspection mission?"

The person in charge of logistics was obviously quite surprised when they saw Chen Dengyi and Fu Su, so surprised that they didn't even have time to hide their expressions.

It is estimated that this person has not had time to get the instructions of the master and Lan Ruoguan, and he is a little at a loss when facing the two people who simply integrate themselves into the surroundings.

"Well, isn't it said that the border is not peaceful recently?"

Fusu looked at the opponent's scarred hand, believing that the place covered by the sleeve would only be worse, so he nodded calmly and said:

"If we do a little more, you can buy some time to rest."

"After all, if there are alien races and alien beasts attacking, we have to rely on everyone's concerted efforts to defend it."

This is easy to say and very sensible, but not everyone understands the disciples of so many sects who come and go... or is willing to understand such a truth.

The person in charge of the logistics was rushed by Fu Su's words, his eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice was a little trembling and choked, and he quickly completed the procedures for the two of them──

And according to Chen Dengyi's strong request, he directly arranged the most dangerous path.

◆

"To be honest, I thought you'd be spoiled."

Chen Dengyi spoke directly, all the way until the two of them started to patrol, influencing their cultivation base, and it was not a big problem to take a short errand to say a few words.

Besides, as partners, it is also very important to understand each other as much as possible.

"Didn't you say that you were attacked by a foreign race and were seriously injured before being rescued by the palace lord? At that time, many people were wondering if the palace lord would let you come out to accept the mission."

"However, my master said at that time that with the palace lord's temper and your impression, it's impossible not to come out, it's just a matter of time."

"Now it seems that the rumors in the sect may not be credible. Your real deity is indeed better-looking than the rumors, and your temper is more straightforward."

In Fusu's impression, most of the craftsmen were arrogant and dismissed civilians and ordinary practitioners.Otherwise, he has a quirky temper, talks about materials and design, and rarely cares about other people's ideas.

But to be honest, Fu Su doesn't dislike Chen Dengyi's temperament, but finds it very fresh... After all, in Fu Su's living environment in the past, there were never so-called peers, and the elders always came and went. At stake.

"Master is more like... wishing me well, so be strict."

"However, Master will not force me to do things I don't want to do. When I need to rest or recuperate my body, I will also let me recuperate, so it is actually not a big problem."

"Even when I came out to practice this time, the master directly gave me a few places to choose. I didn't ask too much about the decision I made. I turned around and prepared things for me to take with me."

It was only a few days before and after. It is estimated that Li Mo will not have a real sense of the words "Brother Susu goes out to do missions" until now.

"Haha, but I actually received a hidden mission. If the two of us make meritorious deeds together, I will add your name to it later."

After listening to Fusu's words, Chen Dengyi couldn't help laughing, and said that the image of the Palace Master is completely different from the past.

Then he said that the reason why he insisted on being a watchman was that he had received the task.

"I heard that the leader of Lan Ruoguan is quite strong, but because he offended the emperor's favorite woman, he blocked the pace of the empire's increase in food and salaries, and deliberately made Lan Ruoguan unable to get supplies, and it was still in tatters. "

"Most of the foreign races are tall and powerful. Even if the defenders have been patrolling hard, there is a high probability that there is no way to stop the foreign races from sneaking in. That's why I plan to come here in person..."

The foreign races are fond of the empire, mainly because the area where the foreign races live is bitterly cold, and whenever they have the opportunity, they will come to the border to grab food and people to go back.

However, they also have the greedy character of the alien race. They are not satisfied with simply robbing supplies and women to go back and reproduce. They hope to slowly erode the land on the border, so they will sneak into the people and instigate rebellion.

It was like this a few times before, and the foreign race even ran all the way to the capital without knowing it, and assassinated the emperor's old son.

If it weren't for the fact that Master Kishiichi happened to be speaking in the palace, perhaps this empire would have turned a chapter long ago.

"After you come here, you want to know what the aliens are interested in, and then see if it can be used for refining?"

Fu Su was not stupid. Chen Dengyi's identity and his eager face all showed that the other party had already grasped the relevant clues.

...At this moment, they are only waiting to 'join forces' with themselves to take down the enemy.

──Why do people feel a little bad when they listen to it?

──Do you want to talk to Master about this matter?
