It means Jiuxiaoxu long sword

Chapter 63 In the Misty Rain and the Breeze, the Road to the Imperial State Contains a Machine

The light rain has just fallen, and the misty rain is hazy.

On the muddy trail, a slim girl in Tsing Yi appeared at some point.

She is holding an oiled paper umbrella painted with a blue bird orchid, and the tail of her hair is slightly stained with rain and dew. She looks like a lady walking out of a painting, with a calm and leisurely appearance, and her temperament is as elegant as a orchid. dignified.

Not far away is a teahouse, and there are many pedestrians taking shelter from the wind and rain.

Chu Li walked to the tea shed, slowly put away the umbrella and said softly, "Does the tea house know how far it is from the nearest town?"

"This fairy doesn't know something. There are no cities and towns within three hundred miles of this place." The tea shopkeeper fanned the cattail fan in his hand, and the flame in the stove also flourished. If you walk more than 300 miles to the east, you will be Yingchuan County. It’s just that it already belongs to the royal family’s territory, if the fairy wants to go there... I’m afraid it’s not very convenient.”

Chu Li pretended to be embarrassed and glanced at the simple cassock on her body: "Why? Now the royal family is not allowed to enter the county for casual cultivators?"

"Oh, I'm afraid the fairy has never been to the east side before?" The shopkeeper leisurely extinguished the charcoal fire in the stove, carried the teapot with a cloth towel and walked to a table of guests, and said with a blank face: "Those counties in the middle of the country have been here for a long time. Two years ago, an order was issued to prohibit monks above the fifth level of Qi refining from entering the county. The old man is at the fourth level of Qi refining, but he can't see through the fairy's cultivation base. Presumably the fairy has broken through the threshold of the fifth level of Qi refining, and now he is entering the county. It’s no longer the county town.”

The shopkeeper's words seemed to resonate with many monks in the venue. For a while, many monks started chattering angrily: "Tch, those stubborn bull-nosed mortals have always looked down on us casual monks. If you want me Say, why go to their territory to find trouble, isn't it good here?"

"That is, a few days ago, Lao Li took his daughter to Yingchuan County to sell goods, but when he came back, he was alone, and he had a broken leg, and he was still lying at home half dead. Those in the county The cultivator who established the foundation didn’t care about anything at all, and there was no result when he reported it, so he said he was missing and sent back to the brothers.”

"When you said that, I remembered it. It seems that after a female cultivator disappeared two years ago, Yingchuan County did not allow monks above the fifth level of Qi Refining to enter the county town? It is said that they are afraid that the traitor will make trouble again...Who would believe it? Well, there’s not a single one that should be missing!”

"Bah! Let me see, grandpa, those royal monks abducted those female cultivators. Otherwise, why haven't there been any news for so long!"

"And those monks who went to investigate this matter together have disappeared..."

"Shhh—you don't want to die, talk about these things in broad daylight. Be careful not to be heard by those lackeys in the county, we are all doomed!" said a middle-aged monk wearing a scarf, "It's those people from the royal family who arrested So what about them? After all, we can’t do anything even if we take them away as furnaces. How about..."

"Bah!" A monk with a face full of humiliation heard this, and spit directly on the face of the person who spoke out to dissuade him, "Dare to love Lao Li, his daughter is not your daughter after all, you don't worry about what happens Isn't it? Not bloody at all, just a coward! I deserve to be unable to break through the fourth level of Qi refining in my life!"

The man wiped off the thick phlegm on his face, blushed and poked his neck and said, "You are the only one! If you fight for Lao Li, you will go to Yingchuan County! If you don't dare to do anything, you dare to be here." Show off your lip service?"

"Grandfather, Grandpa chopped you with a stick—"

"Hey! Don't get excited, Brother Zhang..."

"..."

Chu Li looked at the farce in front of her lightly, and sat calmly at an empty wooden table.

Since two years ago, some nuns have disappeared.

Casual cultivators above the fifth level of Qi refining are prohibited from entering the county, and monks who have investigated the disappearance of female cultivators have also disappeared.

Chu Li savored the information revealed by these casual cultivators with great interest, and extracted the key points one by one.

Who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?
Except for their own family, no one seemed to dare to do such a stupid thing.

Moreover, these casual cultivators didn't know all the questions, each of them had guesses in their hearts, but they didn't dare to confront the royal family head-on.

In fact, it's normal, so what if it becomes a big deal?
The only ones who can make the decisions are those few sects, and the people of the royal family are very protective of their calves. Maybe it was caused by some beautiful county king. When the time comes, even if there is a big trouble, it will be turned into a small matter If he melted, he might have to take his own life.

In any case, before the disaster happens to him, he just waits and watches from a distance, there is no need to be the one who stands out.

At least in Chu Li's view, most of the casual cultivators present thought so.

It's just that Brother Zhang doesn't seem to think so.

The cultivator wearing the lun scarf was not as good as Brother Zhang, but he also managed to move as slippery as a loach. Brother Zhang chased him with a mace for a long time, but he couldn't catch up.

Coupled with the obstruction of others, Brother Zhang quickly took the mace back angrily, and said harshly at the fleeing monk: "I will beat you every time I see you, and don't show up to grandpa if you have the guts!" In front of me!"

"I have a kind! So why hide from you?" The man seized the loopholes in Brother Zhang's words and fought back, "If you are looking for death, don't drag me brother, don't think I don't know that you like Lao Li and his daughter! "

After saying this, the man disappeared in a flash, disappearing into the rain.

Brother Zhang was so angry that his hands trembled, and he smashed the wooden table in front of him with his fist, causing the shopkeeper to feel distressed.

It can be said that Chu Li has seen a good show. No wonder the sect has never taken action to rectify these loose cultivators. It turns out that they are doing their own thing at all, so there is no need to worry about what they will do together.

Under the long-term suppression and subtle influence of the sect and major forces, these casual cultivators have long been accustomed to their low status. Even if they are unwilling, few people want to resist.

It's like an uncivilized fool who came to this world without knowing what to say and lived a mediocre life.

Chu Li couldn't empathize with them, nor would she feel any compassion.

The vast majority of people here don't even know why they practice, let alone their desire to seek the Tao.

It's fine to listen to these things, at least Chu Li doesn't want to get involved in this matter now, because there are foundation-building monks in that county, and she is not worthy for the time being.

Even if it is matched, she doesn't really want to take care of it.

Because she clearly knows that if someone in the royal family robs the women by force, it is immoral at most. It's just a small punishment and a big warning.

If there are other secrets...

That's more interesting.

Chu Li turned her eyes slightly, and said to the shopkeeper, "Tea shop, can you give me a pot of spiritual tea?"
