Chapter 134 Every time she meets Shi Feixuan, she is in bad luck
"I am Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang and the governor of Taiyuan. These two are my personal generals, Yuchi Jingde and Ding Xiu. Thank you for saving my life! May I ask your name?"
After a moment of daze, Li Shimin came to his senses and hurriedly took Yuchi Jingde and Ding Xiu to pay their respects and express their gratitude.
The group of young men who defeated hundreds of Turkic wolf riders and rescued Li Shimin and other two were naturally Ni Kun, Zhu Yuyan and others.
He saw from afar several hundred Turkic cavalrymen galloping on their horses, shooting arrows back and forth, and showing off their might in a village. He thought that the Turks were looting and killing Han people, so he rushed over with Zhu Yuyan and others.
When the Turkic cavalry saw Zhu Yuyan and the other four women, even though their faces could not be seen clearly because of their veils, their alluring figures alone were enough to arouse their bestiality. Naturally, they rushed over to kill the men and rob the women.
Since they had the intention to kill, Ni Kun didn't need to take any action. As soon as his Demon-Breaking Pupil was opened, hundreds of Turkic cavalrymen either slit their own throats or killed each other.
The remaining Turkic cavalry were immediately frightened by this strange "magic" power and fled in panic.
Ni Kun was too lazy to chase and kill them, and planned to treat the injured people first.
However, he did not expect that the village was already deserted, with no civilians left. Instead, he accidentally rescued Li Shimin, Yuchi Jingde, and "the monk who adds money" Ding Xiu.
Glancing at the "Imperial Guard Sword" in Ding Xiu's hand, which was almost as tall as him, Ni Kun was sure that this Ding Xiu was indeed the "very rich" Ding Xiu, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
By following Li Shimin, Ding Xiu has found the right long-term meal ticket.
Considering Li Shimin's wealth, Ding Xiu could easily add more money.
After taking a quick look at the three of them, Ni Kun nodded slightly to Li Shimin and said with a smile:
"I am Ni Kun, this is just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. I wonder why Second Master Li got trapped here?"
Li Shimin blushed a little, "I led Yuchi and Ding Xiu to scout the Turkic army. When we were chasing a group of Turkic scouts, we were so excited that we were not careful and fell into an ambush by the Turks... Fortunately, Master Ni arrived in time, otherwise the three of us would be in great danger."
"To scout the Turks?"
Ni Kun pondered for a while and asked:
"I wonder if Mr. Li has found any news about the 'corpse ghosts'... or the 'living dead'?"
"Corpse ghosts? Living dead?" Li Shimin looked confused. "Aren't those dead warriors created by Turkic wizards using evil magic?"
Ni Kun raised his eyebrows: "Why, Mr. Li, do you think that those living dead were created by the Turks?"
Li Shimin was puzzled and asked, "Isn't it?"
Yuchi Jingde explained:
"Master Ni, our Duke Tang believes that the almost unkillable living dead were created by the Turks.
"The Turks dared to occupy Mayi and Yanmen and take root there because they had mastered the killer weapon of the 'living dead' and wanted to use it to spy on the Central Plains."
Ni Kun shook his head:
"Duke Tang was careless. This is not the case."
Li Shimin was surprised:
"If things are not as my father suspected, is it true that the Mobei grassland is full of living dead?
"Were the Turks really being chased by the living dead and forced to migrate south?"
Having said that, looking at his expression, he didn't seem to believe it at all.
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"It's really hard to believe unless you go to the grassland and see it yourself."
Li Shimin's expression changed:
"Master Ni, are you planning to go to the Mobei grassland to verify it with your own eyes?"
Ni Kun nodded slowly: "Not bad."
Li Shimin was somewhat excited, and his adventurous blood was burning again.
However, when he thought of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he had to suppress the impulse in his heart - he was the main general of the Yangzhi Defense Line, shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the throat of northern Shanxi, defending the northern gate of Taiyuan, and resisting the invasion of the Turks.
Taking only Yuchi Jingde and Ding Xiu with them to conduct reconnaissance in Xinzhou and taking risks on light cavalry was already a reckless, irresponsible and willful act, not to mention going to the grassland for reconnaissance?
At the moment, I could only bow to Ni Kun:
"Mr. Ni is very brave, I admire you.
"Unfortunately, I have an important mission to shoulder and cannot leave without permission. I can only wish Mr. Ni a safe journey and all is well.
"When Master Ni returns from the grasslands to the south, I hope he can honor you by visiting Shimin's residence and staying for a few days, giving Shimin a chance to repay his life-saving grace."
Ni Kun smiled and nodded:
"No problem. If I have time, I will come to your house to bother you."
After saying this, he didn't say any more to Li Shimin and others. He took Zhu Yuyan, Kan Kan and the other three out of the deserted village and continued his journey north.
Li Shimin called out from behind: "Master Ni, the Turks left many war horses here, you..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
Ni Kun and his group, who seemed to be walking leisurely and unhurriedly, had already walked more than a hundred feet away in just half a sentence. Each step they took covered a distance of several feet, which was much faster than a galloping horse.
"Sir, these guys are all rare martial arts masters!"
Yuchi Jingde was also shocked and said in a deep voice:
"They were able to defeat hundreds of Turkic cavalrymen without using swords, spears, bows and arrows, and fight with infantry. That Master Ni and even his four maids all have first-rate skills, and may even be masters who can establish their own schools!"
Ding Xiu held the Imperial Guards' saber in his arms. Although he had his usual cynical look on his face, his eyes were also quite solemn:
"Those four girls look so weak that they seem to fall down with a push, but judging from their lightness skills, any one of them can easily defeat me... Who exactly is that Master Ni Kun? Why does he have such power?"
However, Li Shimin had never heard of the name "Ni Kun" and shook his head and said:
"I have never heard of Master Ni's name...
"However, after hearing about the 'living dead', Master Ni actually wanted to go to the grassland in person to take the risk and find out what happened. I think he must be a great hero who cares about his country and the people..."
The three of them speculated about the origins of Ni Kun and others for a while, but they could not get to the point.
Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them hurriedly collected their bows and arrows and gathered their horses .
While cleaning up the battlefield, they discovered hundreds of corpses in the village, all of whose deaths were extremely strange.
With the three men's rich experience of having fought in hundreds of battles and seen many deaths, they could naturally tell that these Turkic cavalrymen had either committed suicide by slashing their own swords or killed each other.
This bizarre situation made the three of them break out in cold sweats. They looked at each other for a while, not daring to say anything more . They just hurried back to Yangzhi with dozens of war horses, looking secretive.
…
Awooo...
Amidst the hoarse and eerie wolf howls, a black wolf swooped down from the side, its fangs and ferocious wolf mouth wide open, biting towards Shi Feixuan's slender, snow-white neck.
Shi Feixuan swung her sword, the sword light was like a peacock spreading its tail, and with a puff, she chopped off the black wolf's two front paws and the wolf's head.
The broken wolf carcass fell to the ground, but not a drop of blood was spilt.
The headless wolf corpse was still struggling, and the wolf head that rolled to the ground kept opening and closing its mouth, with its teeth colliding with each other, making a creepy clicking sound.
Shi Feixuan raised the back of her hand and wiped the crystal clear beads of sweat on her forehead. She looked back and gritted her teeth before flying towards the hilly mountains ahead.
This is "Pianguan", located at the northwest junction of the grassland and Shanxi, and the Yellow River also flows south into Shanxi here.
The territory of Pianguan is full of undulating hills, crisscrossing gullies and steep terrain. It was originally a strategic pass guarding the Jin area, but at this time it had been occupied by the Turks.
Shi Feixuan had two purposes for going down the mountain to gain experience.
One is to practice in the secular world and prepare for the confrontation with the descendants of Yin Gui. The other is to integrate the forces of the white way, assist the wise monarch, and put an end to the chaotic world.
But I didn’t expect that the world would change so quickly. In less than a year, things had become so confusing.
In Shu, the Leshan Giant Buddha and the Fire Kirin appeared, in Guanzhong, the "First Emperor" was reborn, in Liaodong, Japanese pirates invaded, and it was said that they had destroyed Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo. Even the sword master Fu Cailin died, and more than a month ago, Yang Guang transformed his corpse into an immortal in Jiangdu...
The Yingui Sect, which always liked to stir up trouble, also became unusually well-behaved.
The Queen of Yin, Zhu Yuyan, and the successor of Yin Gui, Kankan, have not been active in the martial arts world since their time in Lingyun Cave.
All these changes made Shi Feixuan at a loss, and she had no idea how to continue her mission.
Integrate the white way to assist the wise ruler?
The first owner of the imperial seal, Qin Shihuang, was in Chang'an, and "Yang Guang" had even transformed himself into an immortal. How could she dare to use the Heshi Bi for publicity and build momentum for the "wise monarch"?
Duel with the successor of Yin Gui?
The Yin Queen and her disciples are nowhere to be found, and no one knows what they are busy with now.
On the contrary, his worldly experience was quite fruitful. He had fought against powerful enemies in Lingyun Cave and had obtained opportunities. He had also fought against powerful enemies when traveling in the world, and even saved several zombies and ghosts. His swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds, and he has already reached the realm of "sword heart enlightenment".
In terms of realm, she is already on par with her master Fan Qinghui.
In terms of skill, she, who had obtained some "Qilin Fruit" in Lingyun Cave, had already reached a level of profound and pure skill that was no less than that of Master Kong Chan, the Four Great Saint Monks and other Buddhist predecessors.
In terms of actual combat, after realizing the "Heavenly Sword Art" from observing the Kirin mural, she even had the confidence to fight against the grandmaster. Even if she could not win, she would never be defeated easily.
Although his personal cultivation has improved, he still has no idea about the sect's mission.
When I was confused, I suddenly heard the news of the Turkic invasion.
With nothing to do, Shi Feixuan simply went north to the grassland, trying to find out why the Turks suddenly split their troops into two groups at an inopportune time, invaded the country, and even made a move to migrate the entire clan and settle down there.
Of course, she had also heard about the "pale alien" and the "living dead".
She was somewhat skeptical about this.
If she was told that there were only a few demons and zombies appearing sporadically on the grassland, she would not have questioned it.
Shu, Guanzhong and the Central Plains are densely populated, but demons and zombies occasionally appear there. The grasslands are vast and sparsely populated, so the appearance of demons and zombies is normal.
But the pale monsters and the living dead in the legend were so numerous that they spread all over the grasslands and even destroyed Tiele and forced the Turkic people, who were at their peak, to migrate south...
This made Shi Feixuan feel unbelievable.
How could there be a demon powerful enough to destroy a country?
If Tiele and Turkic tribes were to be destroyed by the pale monsters, the living dead and other monsters in a short period of time, wouldn't the Central Plains also face a devastating disaster?
Shi Feixuan didn't believe such a ridiculous rumor.
But when she came to the grassland and personally investigated and verified it, she was horrified to find that the situation was even more serious than the rumors.
The pale monsters really exist, and the living dead that spread across the grasslands also really exist.
More than just the living dead?
There are also dead wolves, dead horses, dead cows...
In short, any creature that is large enough may become a walking corpse.
Among the rumors.
Shibi Khan ordered his two younger brothers to split their troops into two groups and migrate south with their tribes. He himself led the main army to organize a defense line in the Yudujin Mountain area to resist the army of the living dead controlled by the pale alien.
This rumor led people to mistakenly believe that the pale monsters and the living dead were still a long way from the Great Wall and were blocked by Shibi Khan's army north of Yudujin Mountain.
But after Shi Feixuan came to investigate, she found out that the living dead were not that far away.
We’re almost reaching the Great Wall!
Could it be that Shibi Khan's defense line at Yudujin Mountain had collapsed and the main force of the Turks had been annihilated?
Shi Feixuan was horrified by her own conjecture. She had originally wanted to venture deep into the grassland and go to Yudujin Mountain to see the situation of the Yudujin Mountain defense line in person. However, she did not expect to encounter a "pale alien" less than a hundred miles into the grassland.
With Shi Feixuan's current martial arts skills, ordinary zombies cannot harm her unless their numbers are large enough to completely surround and kill her.
But that "pale alien"...
Not only was Shi Feixuan helpless against it, but she was also beaten into danger by it, forced to flee in defeat, and was chased by it for more than a hundred miles, all the way to the "Pianguan" area.
now.
From time to time, the dead wolves and horses controlled by the pale alien would surround her from both sides or even the front, trying desperately to stop her from escaping.
After running into the pale monster, Shi Feixuan was defeated in her first fight with it. While fleeing, she was caught up by the pale monster several times and was forced to fight with it. She was seriously injured every time.
Fortunately, the Qilin fruit had not been used up and she was able to heal her wounds in time, so she was able to escape here.
But now, she has almost reached her limit.
All the Qilin fruits have been used up, and there is very little true energy left. He is completely supported by his thoughts.
"The Turks can't stop the living dead, and the Great Wall...can't stop the living dead either!
"We must return to the Central Plains alive and pass on the news of the pale aliens and the living dead to the princes of the Central Plains..."
Supported by this belief, Shi Feixuan tried her best to squeeze out her potential and flew continuously towards the Pianguan hilly area which was getting closer and closer.
They were about to enter a hilly area, and there was hope that with the help of the complex terrain, they could escape the lingering pursuit of that "pale alien".
Suddenly, a sense of life and death crisis suddenly loomed in Shi Feixuan's heart. Her scalp exploded and the back of her neck felt cold. Without thinking, she twisted her waist forcefully and flew out sideways with all her strength.
Just as she was about to twist her waist and pounce.
A gust of icy wind swept past her ears, and her cheek, which was lacking in energy and protection, was cut by the icy wind as sharp as a knife, leaving a thin bloody mark.
It was not until the icy wind passed that the thunder-like sound of breaking through the air reached one's ears.
At the same time, another explosion sounded in front of her.
A huge rock as tall as a person was shattered by a beam of white light.
Small stones mixed with countless ice particles flew in all directions, making a whistling sound like a crossbow breaking through the air, and hit Shi Feixuan, causing her whole body to feel severe pain. Her clothes were torn into pieces, revealing patches of skin covered with purple bruises.
Shi Feixuan ignored the pain in her body, rolled on the ground, stood up quickly, and continued to move forward.
However, at some point, hundreds of horse corpses with shriveled flesh and skin appeared in front of them, staring at her arrogantly with pale eyes, lifelessly.
Shi Feixuan smiled bitterly.
In her current state, she would not be able to easily cross even a defense line consisting of a hundred or so dead horses.
The pale monster behind her that had been chasing her all the way here would not give her a chance to defeat the corpse horse.
She took a deep breath, silently practicing her mental skills, ignoring the cramps in her lower abdomen, and tried her best to squeeze out the true Qi. She slowly turned around and looked behind her.
In the gradually deepening dusk.
A pale monster covered in thin ice armor, with ice-blue eyes, holding an ice spear and riding a corpse horse, was slowly approaching, surrounded by a group of zombie wolves.
"It's a pity that there is no way to pass the news back to the Central Plains..."
Shi Feixuan sighed with regret, looked up at the faintly visible stars, clenched the Sekong Sword in her slender hands, cleared her mind, and looked at the pale alien that was approaching on horseback with a calm face and peaceful eyes.
Just when Shi Feixuan was ready to risk her life, and even use some kind of forbidden move that was almost demonic, to blow herself into powder before she died, so as to avoid having her body desecrated by the pale alien and turning her into a living dead.
A clear female voice with a hint of disdain suddenly came into my ears.
"Sir, Shi Feixuan has a bad fate and is always unlucky. Every time we meet her, she is about to be beaten to death, so we should ignore her, lest she bring us bad luck."
Then another familiar male voice sounded:
"Your words don't make sense, do they? Every time she's in trouble, she always meets a noble man like me. Doesn't that just prove that she's lucky? You should get closer to her, girl, and share in her luck."
Shi Feixuan's delicate body trembled slightly. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man whose figure and temperament had slightly changed, but whose appearance was still familiar. He was accompanied by four women in white clothes and face-covered with gauze scarves. They came out from the side of the forest and walked towards this side leisurely.
"Mr. Ni!"
Shi Feixuan exclaimed softly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
