Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 119 The Sutra of Immortality is Consummated, He Zifeng Brings a Surprise

Another month passed in a blink of an eye.

This day is the second day of February, in the morning.

Lu Fan woke up from his trance and opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 18/2000
Power: 314.05
Agility: 116.47
Mental Power: 115.63
Physical strength: 432.98
Cultivation: second grade

Cultivation method: Vientiane town magic power is complete, the ninth level of the Taoist scriptures (20550/30000)

Martial arts: Perfection of God and Demon Body Training, Perfection of Nine Turns of Golden Body, Perfection of Ten Thousand Refined Body, Perfection of Mind Training, Perfection of Vajra Indestructibility, Perfection of Dragon and Elephant Body Body, Perfection of Hundred Vessels Meridian, Perfection of Changing Tendons and Marrow Cleansing, Perfection of Ten Thousand Tribulations Tempering, Perfection of Immortality
Assignable Attribute Points: 397.65
After more than a month of hard training, Lu Fan finally practiced the Undying Sutra to perfection, increasing his strength by 16 points, his agility by 8 points, his mental strength by 8 points, and his physical strength by 32 points.

His physical body became stronger.

More importantly, his current physical body has powerful recovery and regeneration abilities.

As long as the vitality is not completely cut off, no matter how badly he is injured, he will be able to survive.

And it can be restored again.

His current strength is equivalent to having just advanced to the third realm of innate cultivation, and he can steadily defeat the strong in the second realm of innate.

As far as Lu Fan knows, there are nine realms innate.

The number one master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the patriarch of the Liu family, Liu Chunfeng is only a cultivation base of the nine innate realms.

Moreover, in the entire Great Zhou, only Liu Chunfeng reached the Ninth Heaven Realm.

There are only a few people who are strong in the Eighth Realm of the Xiantian Realm and the Seventh Realm of the Xiantian Realm.

Even with the congenital masters of the fourth, fifth, and sixth realms, there are no more than 20 people in total.

These people either come from super families, or from super sects, are the heads, or patriarchs.

Otherwise, it is the Great Elder or Old Ancestor.

He has a noble status and will not show up easily.

Unless there is a major change, these people will not make a move.

They are more to improve themselves and want to break through the innate realm as soon as possible and reach a higher level.

Thus leaving the mortal womb and becoming a cultivator.

This is the goal pursued by those strong people.

Compared with Da Zhou, there are fewer innate realm experts in other countries.

In other words, with Lu Fan's current strength, as long as he doesn't meet those old monsters, no one can threaten him.

Even more so on the battlefield.

Those who are strong in the innate realm rarely work for the court.

Even if there are, most of them are innate one-level cultivation bases.

Then there are the royal families of various countries.

But the masters of the royal family will not easily go to the battlefield.

Therefore, even if a war really starts, with Lu Fan's current strength, on the battlefield, he can truly be invincible and defeat ten thousand troops with one man!

The most important point is that no one knows Lu Fan's true strength.

The strength he showed before was only first rank, far from the innate level.

Even though he once repelled Wei Lingtian, no one would think that he could really defeat Wei Lingtian, but because Wei Lingtian didn't dare to love to fight in the territory of Da Zhou.

that's the truth.

At that time, he was really no match for Wei Lingtian.

But now, he can easily defeat the opponent.

continue!

Lu Fan closed his eyes and re-entered the cultivation state.

Practice Taoism!

From today on, his main energy will be spent on Taoism.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

This afternoon, Lu Fan was meditating in the living room.

Song Xiucheng came in to announce, "My lord, the weapons and equipment for the Sword Trial Villa have arrived."

"it is good."

Lu Fan was overjoyed and ordered: "Captain Song, take someone to inspect the goods. If there is no problem, distribute all the weapons and equipment to individuals. The excess equipment will be temporarily stored in the warehouse for backup."

"Yes."

Song Xiucheng agreed and left quickly.

Lu Fan stopped practicing, got up and walked out of the living room.

He had just come to the yard when he happened to run into He Zifeng and Sun Hui.

The difference from last time was that He Zifeng didn't come empty-handed, he had an extra gun in his hand.

The gun body is black, the tip of the gun is black, and even the fringe of the gun is black.

Just holding it in your hand casually has a breathtaking feeling.

Sun Hui still carried a box on his shoulders, which was about the same size as last time.

"Brother He, you really did what you said."

Lu Fan greeted him with a smile, and asked, "What is the spear in your hand?"

"Come on, let's talk inside."

He Zifeng made a fool of himself on purpose.

The three entered the living room, Lu Fan went to make a pot of tea and poured three cups.

"Please have some tea."

"it is good."

He Zifeng threw the spear to Lu Fan, "How about this spear?"

Lu Fan took the spear and immediately felt a chill.

It was heavy to hold, several times heavier than ordinary spears.

For him, it was extremely handy.

More importantly, he held the spear in his hand, as if he felt connected by blood.

It was as if the gun was tailor-made for him.

"Good gun!"

Lu Fan couldn't help but praise.

"This gun is made of extremely rare cold iron."

He Zifeng smiled and said, "I gave you an extra gift."

"what?"

Lu Fan was very pleasantly surprised, "Brother He's gift is too precious."

He generally understands the value of cold iron, which is by no means comparable to ordinary metals.

Most importantly, cold iron is too rare.

Not even money can buy it.

"I know you have the Kunwu knife."

He Zifeng said: "But with your strength, on the battlefield, the spear is more powerful. Besides, your marksmanship is also very good. It just so happens that I still have some cold iron at home, so I personally built this gun for you."

"You did it yourself?"

Lu Fan was even more surprised, and sighed: "Brother He's kindness is too rare."

"anything else."

He Zifeng ordered: "Open the box."

"Yes."

Sun Hui squatted down and opened the box.

A black light flashed by.

"come and see."

He Zifeng dragged Lu Fan closer to the box.

On the top is a black armor, with a faint light shining.

He Zifeng took out the armor and handed it to Lu Fan, "This is for you too."

"Oh?"

When Lu Fan took the armor, it was surprisingly light and soft.

"Is this soft armor?"

"Yes."

He Zifeng nodded, "This armor is specially made by mixing several materials, and its defensive effect is far superior to other armors."

"Moreover, wearing it on the body, like clothes, does not affect the action at all."

"I know that your physical body is very strong, but when it comes to the battlefield, no matter how strong your physical body is, it is impossible to ignore any damage."

"With this armor, it will undoubtedly block a lot of damage for you."

"It can even save your life at critical times."

He Zifeng said: "If you like it, accept it."

"it is good."

Lu Fan did not refuse, as He Zifeng said, no matter how strong his physical body is, it is impossible to ignore any harm.

More protection is always good.

The most important thing is that this soft armor is light and good-looking.

It looks better with a cold iron gun.

"This bow is also specially made for you."

While talking, He Zifeng picked up another bow and handed it to Lu Fan.

Like the previous pieces of equipment, the whole body is black, even the arrow strings are black.

It starts cold, heavy, and firm.

"Good bow."

Lu Fan rubbed the bow in his hand, feeling good.

These few pieces of equipment are all he needs.

"And the dagger."

He Zifeng picked up another black dagger and handed it to Lu Fan.

"Then there are arrows. I specially arranged for someone to build [-] of them for you."

"These arrows are more penetrating and more powerful."

"If you match it with this bow, with your strength, the shooting range will be much farther than others."

"When you are on the battlefield, you can kill the enemy to your heart's content!"

Speaking of this, He Zifeng looked at Lu Fan with a smile, "How is it? Is Master Lu satisfied?"

"Very satisfied."

Lu Fan sighed: "Brother He brought me too many surprises this time. This gift is really precious, and the thought is even more rare. I really can't repay it."

"You're too outspoken to say that."

He Zifeng shook his head lightly, "Don't forget, you are Liu Zhi's best friend and his only friend, even if it's just for Liu Zhi's sake, I'm willing to help you."

"What's more, I admire your character and strength, and appreciate your courage and bravery."

"The most important thing is that today's Great Zhou is about to come. As a member of Great Zhou, of course I have to do my part."

"But it's a pity that the materials I have are only enough to make the best set of equipment."

"Of course this set of equipment should be given to the most suitable person."

"You are the most suitable candidate."

"I believe that this set of equipment will exert its greatest power when used on you."

"When you are on the battlefield, you will be invincible and invincible!"

Speaking of this, He Zifeng smiled at Lu Fan, "I will also feel honored at that time."

"it is good!"

Lu Fan praised: "Brother He is indeed a gentleman!"

"The adults have won the prize."

He Zifeng chuckled a few times, and said modestly, "Compared to you, I'm still far behind."

"Let's stop praising each other."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "You sit here for a while, I'll go out and have a look."

"Let's go together."

He Zifeng said: "I'm going to take a look too, but there must be no mistakes."

"it is good."

The two talked and walked out of the living room.

Sun Hui followed behind.

When they left the small courtyard, they saw all the dragon shadow guards gathered together, trying out weapons and equipment.

Everyone put on armor and protective gear, with a saber on the left waist, a bow on the shoulder, and a quiver on the right.

Put another dagger on the front.

"gather!"

With a loud shout, the Dragon Shadow Guards quickly assembled and lined up in a neat square team.

Ten captains stood at the front.

Ye Wuchen faced the crowd.

All silver helmets and armor, coupled with black sabers, black bows and arrows, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

The audience was silent.

Before he got close, he felt suffocated.

That oppressive feeling can't help but make people's heart beat faster and their nerves tense.

All the Dragon Shadow Guards held the handles of their knives and drew their knives in unison.

"Shh!"

A uniform voice sounded, and countless sword lights joined together, illuminating the sky brightly in an instant.

In comparison, even the sun in the sky was dimmed a bit.

"it is good!"

He Zifeng couldn't help shouting, turned to Lu Fan, and praised: "Such a military appearance is really rare. It really deserves to be the Dragon Shadow Guard. Under Master Lu's creation, it has become an invincible army!"

"This would not be possible without your strong support."

As Lu Fan spoke, he came to Ye Wuchen's side and faced the Dragon Shadow Guards, "The equipment has been distributed to you, and I hope you will get familiar with it as soon as possible, so that you can become handy as soon as possible."

"On the battlefield in the future, the role of these weapons and equipment can be maximized."

"It can also kill the enemy better."

Lu Fan yelled: "Stop the knife!"

"Yes."

All the Dragon Shadow Guards retracted their knives in unison.

"Let's go."

Lu Fan turned around and looked at He Zifeng, "Today we both have to have a few drinks, and we won't go home until we're drunk!"

"You should take care of yourself!"

He Zifeng responded with a smile.

"Please!"

……

……

three days later.

Hundreds of carriages drove into the Dragon Shadow Guard barracks.

Every carriage was full of sacks.

Neatly stacked, stacked very high.

It's a bag of grain.

The cloud of war is approaching day by day, and Lu Fan is making preparations all the time.

Food storage is especially important.

It can even be regarded as the foundation of defending the city.

The Dragon Shadow Guard is storing food, and the Zhennan Army is also storing food.

Fortunately, the weather has been good in recent years, and there is no shortage of food in Dazhou.

The food normally consumed by the Dragon Shadow Guards is allotted from the army warehouse.

But not today.

After all, the amount of grain allocated by the military warehouse is limited, and the purpose of grain storage cannot be achieved.

Therefore, Lu Fan deliberately bought a batch of grain from the merchant.

"Lord Lu, you really keep your word, and you can think of me when you have business."

Zhao Changan came to Lu Fan's residence, smiled and cupped his hands, "Thank you Master Lu for taking care of me, brother."

"Take care of each other."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "Brother Zhao also helped me."

"I'm profitable."

Zhao Chang'an looked around and said in a low voice: "However, Master Lu's move is really clever. When there is a war in the future, these grains will come in handy."

"Be prepared for a rainy day."

Lu Fan nodded and asked, "In case there is a real war in the future, can brother Zhao deliver food in time?"

"That depends on the specific situation."

Zhao Chang'an pondered for a while, and said, "If the enemy troops enter our Great Zhou territory and block the grain roads, no matter how powerful I am, I won't be able to transport them."

"At that time, there is only one way, to open the grain channel first, and then transport the grain."

"However, if that day really comes, the situation in Dazhou will definitely be very severe, and there may not be any extra troops to break through the grain road."

"Coupled with the soaring prices, if you want to buy grain at that time, you may have to pay several times more, and you may not be able to buy it."

"So, it's right for you to stockpile food in advance."

"At least you don't have to worry about the future, you can let go and face the enemy boldly."

"The worst is not to be able to hold on."

"It is not easy for the enemy to capture Zhennan Pass."

"If the situation improves, you can even lead the army to turn the defense into an offense and win the initiative."

Zhao Changan said: "I believe Master Lu has this ability."

"The form of war is changing rapidly, and at that time we can only respond according to the form."

Lu Fan sighed: "If it really comes to the end of the day, brother Zhao will not hesitate to help."

"Don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

Zhao Changan readily agreed.

Lu Fan also knows that this kind of verbal promise cannot be taken seriously. If it really comes to a time of crisis, when others are too busy to take care of themselves, no one can help you.

You can only save yourself by yourself.

But I still have to say polite words, "Okay, brother Zhao's favor, I will write it down first."

Zhao Changan responded with a smile: "Lord Lu, you are polite."

Lu Fan roughly calculated that this batch of food was enough for Long Yingwei to last for more than a year.

If you save it, you can even eat it for two years.

Coupled with the usual supply of the military warehouse, even if the war comes, it can last for a long time.

At least two years without hunger.

That's enough.

Lu Fan believes in his own strength, if he is given another two years to grow, he will not be afraid of anyone.

With only one person's strength, he can affect the entire battle situation.

……

……

Fast forward to March.

It was the morning of the third day of March.

Lu Fan meditated in the living room as usual.

Recently, he got acquainted with the Cold Iron Spear, his new Cloud Piercer Bow, and the Black Mist dagger.

They are all names he randomly named when he was free.

Today, his understanding of marksmanship and archery is far better than before, especially the control of power, which is becoming more and more perfect.

He can almost know everything, and realize a thousand things.

The comprehension of knife skills is also applicable to spear skills and archery skills.

vice versa.

At the same time, his cultivation base is also steadily increasing.

With the current speed of cultivation, it won't take long for him to be promoted to the first rank.

continue!

Lu Fan still didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and devoted almost all his energy to cultivation.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door outside, "My lord, Qin Yu begs to see you."

"come in."

As time went by, when all the Dragon Shadow Guards saw Lu Fan, they all called him an adult and saluted him.

Even Qin Yu is no exception.

This gap in status will greatly affect the way they get along.

They rarely joke with each other.

Except for Ye Wuchen, all the Dragon Shadow Guards adapted to Lu Fan's new identity and treated him as a superior.

Even Su Mu's attitude towards Lu Fan was no longer as unscrupulous as before.

But a little more respect and care.

They all knew that, although Lu Fan treated them the same as before, they couldn't.

There is a hurdle between the superior and the subordinate, and the greater the level difference, the higher the hurdle.

Especially in places like military camps, it is even more taboo.

"Yes."

After Qin Yu entered the room, he closed the door behind him.

"sit down."

Lu Fan motioned Qin Yu to sit down, and asked, "What's the latest news?"

"Chu State is still increasing its troops to the border."

Qin Yu said: "According to the information I have received, there are at least 30 troops stationed at the border, and there may be more in fact."

"Ah."

Lu Fan nodded, "It's spring and the weather is getting warmer. Since Chu has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it means that they are ready for war and may go to war at any time."

"Indeed."

Qin Yu agreed very much, "When they have assembled their forces and the supply of food and grass catches up, they will send troops to attack Nanguan, my town."

"Is there any other news?"

Lu Fan asked, "Is there any movement from Yue and Shu?"

"Have."

Qin Yu looked worried, "The Yue Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom are gathering troops to the border at the same time. According to my estimation, these two countries may send troops at the same time as the Chu Kingdom. In this way, we will be overwhelmed and will not be able to support each other at all."

"Sure enough, it's still here."

Lu Fan had actually predicted it.

Apart from Wei, no country can compare with Da Zhou in strength.

Although the strength of Chu State is not bad, it is still slightly inferior to Da Zhou.

Therefore, if Chu State dared to attack Da Zhou, it would definitely unite with other countries.

Yue and Shu are undoubtedly good choices.

They are all in the south, and the Three Kingdoms are not too far away.

It only needs to send troops at the same time, and Da Zhou will be overwhelmed.

After all, it is with the power of a country to deal with a border town.

The odds are still great.

The southeast army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was dealing with the State of Yue, and the Southwest Army was dealing with the State of Shu.

The Zhennan Army where Lu Fan is under the most pressure is dealing with Chu State.

In comparison, Chu State is the strongest, Yue State is next, and Shu State is the worst.

As for Da Zhou's side, if the Dragon Shadow Guard is not counted, the strength of the three frontier armies is not much different.

Counting the Dragon Shadow Guards, the Zhennan Army must be the strongest, followed by the Southwest Army, and the Southeast Army is the worst.

Therefore, if the three countries attack at the same time, the most dangerous is actually the Southeast Army.

The safest one is Zhennan Army instead.

"Yes."

Qin Yu sighed: "Unexpectedly, these countries formed an alliance and jointly attacked our Great Zhou. The current situation is not very good."

"Ah."

Lu Fan nodded, "Wei State in the north has long been ready to move, and Xia State and Yan State may also send troops together."

"If the battle situation in the north is critical, the Royal Forest Army will focus on supporting the north, and have no time to take care of us here."

"Although the Qin State in the west and the Qi State in the east may not send troops, our Zhendong Army and Zhenxi Army must not dare to act rashly, so they cannot send troops to support us."

Lu Fan analyzed: "So, once the battle begins, we can only rely on ourselves, and no one can help us."

"With you here, I'm not afraid!"

Qin Yu suddenly stated, "I believe in you, no matter how difficult it is, you will lead us out of the predicament."

"It's not just me, all the Dragon Shadow Guards, including Ye Wuchen, think so."

Qin Yu said loudly: "If the Chu army dares to invade our Zhennan Pass, he will never come back!"

"well said!"

Lu Fan praised: "You should have this courage!"

"I'm afraid it's useless."

"The more moments like this, the more courage is needed."

Lu Fan took the opportunity to cheer Qin Yu up, "No matter how difficult the future is, we must be firm in our hearts, and we must be the one who wins in the end!"

"Yes."

Qin Yu clenched his fists and responded loudly.

"Any more news?"

Lu Fan asked again: "Over Langui Street, has something happened recently?"

"No, just these two news for now."

Qin Yu shook his head, "Langui Street has been very quiet recently. Xu Zhao has never been to Langui Street again. According to Qiao Yun, it seems that Miss Liu Dai didn't want to be with Xu Zhao, so Xu Zhao was sent away."

"Oh."

Lu Fan thought it was true.

The top card in Goulan, who is used to living a life without worrying about food and clothing, how could he follow the poor scholar back to suffer?
Unless Xu Zhaoliang reveals his identity.

Perhaps Liu Dai would have another attitude.

"As for the matter of the blood-clothed gang of dead people, Qianjiying and the blood-clothed gang couldn't find any useful clues, so it's temporarily shelved."

Qin Yu frowned, "It's really strange, where did the murderer come from?"

Lu Fan thought of Tang Chuowan again, and became more suspicious that this person was the murderer.

But others could not suspect Tang Chuowan.

After all, Tang Chuowan had never practiced before, so how could she kill the members of the Bloody Gang?

Even if it's just a few young people, they have also practiced martial arts, which is not something ordinary people can deal with.

Let alone a little girl?

Killing someone without leaving any traces, without being discovered, is obviously a good practitioner.

"Okay, I see."

Lu Fan looked at Qin Yu, "If you have nothing else to do, go get busy."

"Yes."

Qin Yu bid farewell and left.

Lu Fan fell into deep thought.

Seeing that the war is coming, he has made all the preparations he should make.

The morale of the Dragon Shadow Guard is quite high.

The entire Zhennan Army did not panic too much.

Everyone seems to be ready.

Come on then!

He wants to earn countless military exploits, and use them in exchange for more exercises and martial arts to improve his own strength.

But before that, he had to do one more thing.

It's time for the Daoist scriptures to be upgraded.
