Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 82: Protective Gangsha, Grandmaster's Power

"In the Ouyang family, I will always be a bastard and a dispensable pawn."

With a low hum, Ouyang Ming looked around and turned to leave.

……

Luyang Prefecture, Dingjia Lane courtyard.

After instructing Old Man Xu and the others that he would go to Jiulin County, Zhang Yuan went to the backyard.

After completing a set of boxing moves, a faint golden light flickered and flowed on his skin.

Diamond Fist.

This boxing technique can strengthen the body and enhance the power of qi and blood.

It can be regarded as a matching fighting skill for the Golden Body Skill.

The bold and powerful moves are not very mysterious, and are at the same level as the Iron Armor Fist, and are not even as good as the Mountain and River Fist.

However, Zhang Yuan was somewhat surprised by the effect of this boxing technique on strengthening the muscles and bones.

The Buddhist skills obtained from Ding Yuan are actually not that powerful.

But for Zhang Yuan, the Buddhist practice of using and understanding power gave him a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Especially the Vajra Finger, which concentrates power at one point and explodes.

This was a great inspiration for the improvement of his own martial arts.

"Om-"

A faint golden light appeared outside Zhang Yuan.

If a warrior with strong cultivation and good knowledge saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim in surprise.

Protective energy.

The protective aura that can only be activated by the Grandmaster level is said to be an unbreakable protective force below the Grandmaster level.

It is said that the true essence of the Grandmaster realm has been condensed, and the collision of internal and external forces has transformed into a罡煞, isolating the body from the world outside.

Zhang Yuan has not yet reached the Grandmaster level, so his true essence cannot be condensed, and of course he cannot condense the evil spirit.

But he can stimulate the power of the relics and transform them into the golden light that protects Buddhism.

This is similar to the power of Gangsha.

The relics can not only stimulate the power of self-defense, but also condense into one's own tremendous strength. However, extracting this power will consume the resources accumulated by the relics.

Although this kind of consumption is painful, with this method, you can protect yourself and perhaps fight with the master.

Zhang Yuan had never seen the power of the Grandmaster, he had only heard rumors that the Grandmaster could move mountains and capture cliffs.

If given the chance, he wanted to see the gap between himself and the Grandmaster.

From Ding Yuan, Zhang Yuan has learned several ways to operate the power of the relics.

Protect yourself, have great strength, flush your own meridians, and refine your soul.

Moreover, according to Ding Yuan, Zhang Yuan's relics have surpassed the first level of relics, which are the pure and flawless dragon-elephant level with misty golden light, and have reached the second level, the diamond level with restrained golden light and no dust or dirt.

I wonder to what extent this relic can be improved in the future based on the current accumulation of practice.

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Yuan, wearing a blue cloth military robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, rode out of the city on a war horse.

Zhao Yu was sitting in a carriage, following behind with four other carriages.

The four carriages were loaded with two hundred sets of armor and weapons.

Zhang Yuan said that if you want to recruit soldiers, you have to act like you are recruiting soldiers. Whoever passes the selection will be given clothes and armor on the spot.

Although Zhao Yu felt that this was a bit against the rules, it could indeed boost the morale of the martial artists.

Who wouldn’t envy the companions who came with him, looking so heroic in armor?

The convoy headed towards Jiulin County and encountered many martial artists along the way.

Hearing that Zhang Yuan was going to Jiulin to recruit soldiers and guards, many people showed joy on their faces.

Some brave ones have already approached Zhang Yuan and asked about the conscription rules.

"Second Master, look at my physique, how about I run errands for you?"

"Second Master, if you accept me, I don't want any salary, really."

……

It was already mid-afternoon when the convoy arrived in Jiulin County.

When they arrived in Jiulin County, the team of more than 20 people had grown to nearly 100 people.

The checkpoints set up by the Zhao family along the way tried their best to go back and report the news.

When Zhang Yuan and his companions arrived at Jiulin County, Mr. Zhao Liu was already waiting outside the city gate with a large group of martial artists.

Zhang Yuan had been to Jiulin County several times, each time to complete beheading missions.

This was the first time he had met Mr. Zhao Liu.

He was in his early forties, wearing a white robe and iron crown, with a square face and a rather martial and courageous aura. His hands were large, clearly from a boxing style that suited him.

"It's a great honor for Zhao Liu and his fellow Jianghu brothers that Second Brother can come to Jiulin!"

Mr. Zhao Liu walked towards Zhang Yuan with a smile on his face and his hands clasped together.

Zhang Yuan also dismounted, smiling, "Sixth Master, what you said is so unkind. Why should we be so polite, brothers?"

The two looked at each other and laughed, as if they were sworn brothers.

Many martial artists in the martial arts world showed expressions of admiration and envy on their faces.

What matters in the world of martial arts is strength, and the competition between the strong is more about the strong joining forces.

Mr. Zhao Liu has the cultivation and combat power, while Mr. Zhang Er has the background and reputation.

"Come, come, let me introduce you, second brother. This is Brother Bai Guanyun, the Flying Hawk in the Clouds. Brother Bai's Qinggong is excellent."

"This is Jiulin Iron Hand Du Changgong. Brother Du is a veteran who has been famous in Jiulin County for twenty years."

"And this..."

Mr. Zhao Liu enthusiastically introduced the warriors who came with him, all of whom were well-known figures.

"Cloud Flying Hawk Bai Guanyun, I remember three years ago in Qingliu Town, Brother Bai robbed the rich and gave to the poor, causing several wealthy families in Qingliu Town to suffer heavy losses. I admire you, I admire you."

"The name of Senior Du, the Nine Forest Iron Hand, has long been known throughout Erhe. Eight years ago, the Thirteen Heroes of the Nine Forests captured Qingtang Village. In that battle, Senior Du gained great fame."

Zhang Yuan and the people around him echoed and praised, making the people on the opposite side look very happy.

Zhang Yuan also smiled and introduced the martial artists he met along the way.

Those who don’t have a name should make up one, and those who have a name should brag a little more.

Zhao Yu in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked at the familiar scene of Zhang Yuan and the others in front of him, his eyes full of curiosity.

"These guys, they clearly don't know each other, yet they're pretending to be so eager."

"These Jianghu people are even more fake than those guys in the officialdom."

……

That night, Zhang Yuan stayed at the Jiulin County Posthouse, and then asked the Wuwei soldiers to hand over several notices to Zhao Liuye, asking Zhao Liuye to help select the soldiers.

Zhao family mansion.

The notices were placed on the long table in front of Mr. Zhao Liu.

"Sixth Master, it seems that Zhang Erhe is not as ignorant as the rumors say."

"Giving this notice to the Zhao family is actually to allow the children of the Zhao family to enter the Wuwei Yamen first, isn't it?"

The old man with a goatee who was speaking had a look of joy on his face.

Mr. Zhao Liu chuckled and put his palm on the table in front of him.

"Reputation in the martial arts world is not all about being carried by a fancy sedan chair. Zhang Erhe gave me face, so I will help him arrange it tomorrow."

"Let those fellow martial artists see the influence of our Zhao family in Luyang Prefecture."

"After the alliance, my Zhao family really needs to make further progress and think about how to open up the situation in the capital city."

He clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes.

"I wonder who that Black Tiger is, and whether he has come to Jiulin."

"If I can really replace him, Zhao wouldn't mind wearing a set of black armor."

It is rumored that the Black Tiger is very powerful, but I wonder if he can be a match for Zhao Changchun.

Zhao Changchun practiced hard for thirty years and had a miraculous encounter. He had not met an opponent within a radius of three hundred miles.

He is confident that he can win as he is in the top 100 of the elite list.

--------------

In the posthouse, dozens of paper rolls were placed on the long table in front of Zhang Yuan.

Chen Wu and Huang Sanliang, both wearing martial arts robes, and a young man of similar age stood in front of Zhang Yuan.

The young man's name was Guo Huaishan, and he was also the son of Zhang Yuan's comrade. After leaving the academy, he went to the Red Fox Caravan.

"Brother Yuan, here is the list of all the mountain strongholds around Jiulin, as well as the various martial arts sects, who will participate in the alliance." Guo Huaishan glanced at Zhao Yu who was flipping through the paper scroll and spoke in a low voice.

Zhao Yu looked at the contents written on the scrolls with curiosity on his face.

"Feng Qubing, the leader of Wushan Village, commanded over fifty bandits who plundered villages and towns around Wushan, killing many civilians."

"Gong Changshu from Baishanhe Water Village has repeatedly ambushed merchants along the river. At least three of the murders were related to Baishanhe Water Village."

"Gutaling Duan Xing, a cultivator in the late postnatal realm, once killed twelve people from the Sanping martial arts school."

"Are you collecting evidence?" Zhao Yu frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Yuan. "Are you planning to use the alliance as an excuse to get the Zhao family's help in apprehending these people?"

In Zhao Yu's opinion, the main task of the Wuwei Yamen this time was to recruit soldiers.

From what we have seen today, there are already two to three thousand martial artists participating in the alliance.

With the battalion of armed guards that Zhang Yuan brought with him, they really couldn't do anything during the alliance meeting.

Zhang Yuan wouldn't do something so crazy, right?
