chapter 8 Guard commander

Sherwin thought for a moment and said, "If it's just to strengthen your body, practicing like this is fine."

Rhodes eyes narrowed and he said: "Then what if it is used to fight ferocious beasts or fight powerful enemies?"

Sherwin was silent for a moment and then said: "uncle Rhodes, to be honest, in the eyes of the younger generation, if these children ask for martial arts, practicing in this way is tantamount to going astray."

Rhodes was stunned, and he didn't know what he thought of. His old face changed slightly, and after a while he took a deep breath and said, "Sherwin, are you sure?"

Sherwin nodded. He had no need to deceive the other party.

Seeing this, Rhodes fell silent again, his face uncertain.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the village, the ground shook a little, and dust flew up.

"uncle Derick and the others are back."

In the distance, a burst of cheers could be heard. Immediately, Sherwin saw a group of people galloping from the entrance of the village. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing animal skin. He had long hair and a majestic appearance. His skin was like rocks, exuding explosive power.

He sat high on the back of a scaly horse that was as tall as a giant elephant, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and his power was extremely extraordinary.

Behind him, there were still a group of figures, but they were all riding inferior deer horses. Each of them was carrying a spear or a sword on his back. Some of the deer horses were also carrying piles of animal skin packages. .

Seeing such a scene, Sherwin calm and a little surprised.

"Those are the guards in the village. There are nine of them in total. The leader is named Derick. He is the leader of the guards in the village and possesses the cultivation of the fourth level of Zhenwu."

As the village chief Rhodes said this, he led Sherwin to greet him. The children who were practicing boxing also cheered and rushed over.

Not only that, other villagers in the village were also alerted at this moment and came out one after another. When they saw Derick and his party, they all beamed with joy and went to greet them.

From this we can see how high the prestige of Derick is among the villagers.

"For the salt, cloth and daily necessities our village needs, leader Derick and his guards need to take the spiritual valley harvested in the village to the Qingyang tribe three thousand miles away to exchange for purchase."

"It takes half a month to go back and forth from Feiyun Village to Qingyang Tribe. The road is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may not be able to come back again. It is really hard for them."

While walking, Rhodes was explaining to Sherwin. At this point, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly whispered quickly: "What we just talked about about Marching Fist, don't let leader Derick know. , I will tell you the reason later."

Sherwin understood and nodded, vaguely feeling that Rhodes seemed to be slightly wary of Derick.

The law

At this time, the tall and divine scaly horse let out a high-pitched neigh, and stopped in front of Rhodes surrounded by everyone.

Derick got off his horse and laughed loudly: "Brother Xiao, we are back."

This man has a majestic appearance and a tall and tall figure, like a mountain. He exudes a powerful and powerful aura, which is quite intimidating.

If you look carefully, you can see that his breath is long, his breathing is calm, his fascia is tough, and his joints are filled with explosive spiritual energy, which is indeed in line with the characteristics of the "opening the orifice" level of the fourth level of Zhenwu.

The third level of Zhenwu is "Kaifu", which is the house of the five internal organs. The five internal organs are responsible for the five elements and are the foundation of the five elements of the cultivator. At that time, the spiritual power of the cultivator circulates in the five palaces, reaching both inside and outside the whole body, running like a tiger and leopard. Can lift a cauldron

If placed in Emperor Zi Yao's team, he would be enough to become a centurion in charge of hundreds of soldiers.

And this realm of the fourth level of Zhenwu, the "opening orifices", is the spiritual orifice that connects the limbs and bones. When the orifices are opened, the spirit will be concentrated, and the spirit will be concentrated, and the qi and blood will be strong.

After arriving at this state, the cultivator's energy and blood boil like wolf smoke rising into the sky. He is not afraid of cold or heat, nor is he afraid of evil spirits. He can tread on the snow without leaving a trace, and is as agile as a flying scorpion. Even if he does not eat for three days and three nights, his energy and spirit will not weaken.

The Derick in front of you are the strong ones at the level of "opening the aperture". Standing casually, to ordinary people, it is like a volcano that is about to erupt at any time, with a powerful force that hits your face.

Sherwin couldn't help but be secretly surprised, not because he was afraid of the opponent's power, but because he felt that it was really strange for such a cultivator to appear in this remote Feiyun Village.

"Well, who is this little guy?"

At this time, Derick also noticed the unfamiliar face of Sherwin and couldn't help but frown slightly, his cold eyes full of scrutiny.

"This is Sherwin, and he will be considered a member of Feiyun Village from now on."

Rhodes explained with a smile.

When he learned that Sherwin was actually a spiritual pattern apprentice, Derick just narrowed his eyes and was not too surprised.

However, Sherwin Derick a little moved when he found out that it was Lin Xun who helped Lucius and Maverick 's spiritual fields eliminate pests.

He has traveled all over the country in the past few years and has naturally met many spiritual pattern apprentices. Naturally, he knows more than others in the village. He even knows that the spiritual pattern apprentices are at best just a handyman beside the spiritual pattern master.

However, there are not many spiritual pattern apprentices who can carve spirit patterns and help eliminate pests in the spirit fields.

This was also the reason why Derick was moved.

"I've met uncle Derick."

Sherwin forward and greeted him with a smile.

"Hahaha, from now on we are our own family. Don't be polite and work hard. If a real spirit pattern master can appear in Feiyun Village, it will be a great honor."

Derick laughed and patted Sherwin shoulder, his voice loud and affectionate.

However, Sherwin was keenly aware that Derick always looked at him with a hint of scrutiny and suspicion, making it immediately clear to him that the leader of the guard in front of him, who had the cultivation of the fourth level of Zhenwu, should be He is a very profound person.

Sherwin grew up in the dark mine prison since he was a child. He saw many murderous prisoners imprisoned in the prison. Once when Mr.Briggs was drunk, he accidentally said that if all these prisoners were released, they would definitely The poison spreads all over the world and the harm is endless. If it is left in the Zi Yao Empire, it will probably cause a turmoil.

From this, we can imagine how powerful those prisoners are. Each and every one of them is one of the most vicious people in the world. They can be called a model of insidiousness, cunning, and ruthlessness.

Sherwin grew up in this dark environment surrounded by evil people. Under the influence, he also had his own experience in observing words and expressions and distinguishing people's hearts. He even learned many methods of insight into people's hearts from those prisoners.

Therefore, Sherwin believed that his judgment would definitely not be wrong. This Derick should also be a very scheming character. Regardless of whether he was good or bad, at least this person was not as simple as he appeared.

With this in mind, when Sherwin went to see Derick again, he found some differences.

For example, although this person was wearing an old animal skin coat, there was a lavender wooden pendant hanging on his waist. If Lin Xun was not mistaken, the lavender wooden pendant should be carved from "red sandalwood cloud wood". It is valuable, worth ten imperial silver coins.

Another example is the pair of gray boots worn by this person. Others could not tell the texture, but Sherwin could tell at a glance that the boots were tanned from the feathers of the "grey falcon". He was also engraved with a pair of "Spirit Wind Patterns", which can make the cultivator as light as a swallow and as powerful as a tiger during battle.

In terms of value, this pair of boots is far superior to that piece of rosewood and rosewood pendant.

This is interesting. How can a cultivator in a remote and barren mountain village afford such an expensive treasure?

This person is definitely not simple anymore

Sherwin was thoughtful.
