Chapter 118 Famous General in the Early Tang Dynasty, Red-Haired Monster

"But the illness will prolong life. I will travel to the five mountains and learn about the eight seas. The demon king will tie his head. Guard me. The evil will dissipate and the filth will disappear. The Tao will remain forever. The urgency is like the law!"

After kneading the secret and reciting the incantation, the longevity talisman turned into a golden light and escaped into the body of the unconscious man.

Li Daoxuan could see that the evil spirit in his body dissipated quickly, and his face slowly turned rosy.

For ordinary people, the Talisman of Immortality is already considered a magical medicine.

Two hours later.

The man was almost awake. His face was rosy, his breathing was steady, and his wounds had begun to scab.

Li Daoxuan was secretly surprised.

Although this has the effect of the longevity talisman, the reason why he recovers so quickly is because of his strong physique and his well-trained muscles.

He had already checked and found that this man was not a monk, but a martial artist. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he did not pose much of a threat.

Otherwise, with Li Daoxuan's temperament, he would definitely have to be tied up three times inside and outside three times before he wakes up.

Who knows if he is good or bad?

Li Dao

Difference.

"Good halberd technique!"

Li Daoxuan praised, and at the same time signaled Sister Yu not to kill anyone.

If he hadn't quietly waved his hand to stop him, the mighty man in front of him might have been pierced through the head by the sapphire escape hairpin.

When he saw a scholar in white clothes in front of him instead of the man-eating red-haired monster, the man immediately put away his halberd and bowed to Li Daoxuan to apologize.

"I'm really sorry, I thought you were that man-eating beast."

Li Daoxuan's eyes moved and he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I saw the hero floating down the river, so I came to rescue him. In fact, it can't be called a rescue. The main reason is that the hero himself is in good health and recovers quickly."

Hearing that it was Li Daoxuan who rescued him, the man's eyes showed deep gratitude. Regardless of his painful wounds, he saluted deeply again and said: "Xue Li, thank you sir for saving your life!"

"You are Welcome--"

Li Daoxuan was suddenly stunned, then looked him up and down and asked: "Xue Li, what's your word?"

Xue Li was stunned for a moment and said: "Xue Li, whose courtesy name is Rengui, have you ever heard of my name?"

Li Dao

Xue Rengui, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, joined the army in the 18th year of Zhenguan. He showed great success on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo. He single-handedly killed generals and captured the flag. Li Shimin once lamented, "I don't like Liaodong, but I like your minister."

Later, Xue Rengui fought in the south and north, leaving behind many good stories that have been sung for thousands of years, such as three arrows to stabilize the Tianshan Mountains, a good strategy to stop fighting, and love for the people like the city of Zhou, etc.

It was a pity that because of his teammates, he had no choice but to defeat Dafeichuan and was demoted to a civilian to farm. It was not until he was seventy years old that he was ordered to do so due to the invasion of the Turkic army.

At that time, the Turkic army heard that the general of the Tang army was Xue Rengui, and they couldn't believe it. Until they were on the battlefield, Xue Rengui took off his helmet, revealing his pale face and white hair.

And Xue Rengui, at the age of seventy, beheaded ten thousand people, captured thirty thousand alive, and defeated the enemy army!

But it is a pity that after that battle, Xue Rengui ran out of energy and died of illness soon, leaving only a legendary allusion of taking off his hat and defeating all enemies.

When Li Daoxuan was reading the history of the Tang Dynasty, he often regretted that a generation of generals wasted so many years in vain.

"Sir, do you recognize me?"

Xue Rengui was a little surprised. He looked at Li Daoxuan and felt that although this man looked weak, he had an extraordinary bearing. If he had seen him, he would not forget it.

Li Daoxuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's just similar to the name of an old friend of mine. By the way, what kind of beast did you encounter? You can't protect yourself with your martial arts?"

When Xue Rengui heard this, there was still some fear in his eyes, and he said: "Xue has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He prides himself on having some martial arts skills. He often goes into the mountains to fight tigers and leopards. Firstly, he can hone his martial arts skills, and secondly, he can also earn some money."

He suddenly sighed and said: "But this is the first time I have encountered such a terrifying beast. It has red hair all over its body and looks like an ape. It roars like thunder, moves as fast as lightning, is extremely powerful, and is invulnerable. Even my bow and arrow are invulnerable."

Can’t shoot through!”

Li Daoxuan thought to himself, what kind of monster is this? Is it a mountain spirit monster?

"By the way, I see how you two are dressed, are you here for sightseeing?"

Xue Rengui asked. He also saw Chen Ziyu on the side and felt astonished. He didn't expect there to be such a beautiful woman in the world.

She stood quietly, her eyes never leaving Li Daoxuan.

Xue Rengui couldn't help but secretly sigh that his benefactor was such a blessing.

Li Daoxuan smiled and took Chen Ziyu's hand and said: "Li Daoxuan, this is my wife. We are not here for fun, but to visit a relative in Yaowang Village."

When he heard the words Yaowang Village, Xue Rengui's pupils trembled and he blurted out: "Absolutely not!"

Li Daoxuan was a little surprised and said: "Why did Master Xue say this?"

"I can't talk about heroes. If my benefactor doesn't dislike me, just call me Brother Xue."

After a pause, Xue Rengui said solemnly: "Sir, Yaowang Village is very weird. I met the red-haired monster there before!"

"Oh? Can you tell me more specifically?"

Xue Rengui naturally knew everything about his savior.

"To be honest, I stayed in Yaowang Village before. The atmosphere there was very weird and there was an indescribable sense of depression. In addition, I always felt like I was being spied on."

"Late last night, while I was studying the art of war, a red-haired beast suddenly broke in. I picked up my halberd and fought with it. We fought it all the way from the village to the wilderness of the mountains and forests."

"I don't know what the monster was, but it became more and more courageous as it fought, and finally seriously injured me. In the critical situation, I jumped into the river to escape, and I luckily survived!"

After hearing what he said, Li Daoxuan had a vague hunch in his heart that the weirdness in the village might be related to this red-haired monster.

Shaking his head, he said: "We, husband and wife, have something important to do this time. We must visit that relative. Even if there is something weird, we have to go."

After saying that, he smiled and said: "Li is not talented, but he knows some swordsmanship, which should be enough to protect himself."

When Xue Rengui heard this, he sighed in his heart. I am afraid that this gentleman did not take his words seriously.

However, he could also understand that as a scholar, he would not be able to easily believe something if he had not seen it with his own eyes.

As for the so-called swordsmanship...

Xue Rengui had carefully observed the other party, and there were some traces of martial arts training, but not many, and there were no calluses on his hands. Even if he was really good at swordsmanship, he was probably just a beginner.

It's just embroidery on the legs.

Li Dao

After that, he was ready to take Chen Ziyu away.

Although the other party is the famous Xue Rengui, Li Daoxuan will not deliberately try to please him. He just wants to form a good relationship.

Although royal power, wealth and honor are good, they are fleeting. He aspires to immortality. He has never even had a close friendship with the famous prime minister Di Renjie, and he does not care about Xue Rengui.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Xue Rengui gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "Sir, wait a minute!"

Xue Rengui said sonorously: "Although Xue is an unknown person, he also knows that he has saved his life and has nothing to repay. Since you are determined to go to Yaowang Village, let Xue Li clear the way for you and protect him!"
