Longevity begins with Orion.

Chapter 45.
In the morning light, the wind has gradually warmed up.

Aunt Wang was busy at the earthen stove, boiling water and cooking.The dirty clothes of the old lady were placed in the wooden basin next to her, and she had to go to the Silver Stream to wash them later, and then she would find time to wash her own clothes and the children's clothes after washing.

Outside the shed area, the dead branches of willows have sprouted. When the children in the shed area chased and ran, the willow tapes were carried by the wind and danced back and forth, which seemed to be full of vitality.

Unknowingly, the harsh winter has passed, and the early spring has arrived. The shed area in Yinxi is a little more noisy, and people's hearts are also a little more joyful.

However, Li Yuan's mood was still calm.

Today is the last day of his "sick leave". Tomorrow he has to go back to the black market, but he still doesn't know the situation of the black market.

He wanted to continue taking sick leave, but he didn't know if it would work.

But Zhongshi is definitely not going to be able to go.

But he can't go anywhere else.

There is no way to drill in the deep mountains and old forests. If you go out of the county, you are courting death. The only way is to nest in this Yinxifang.

He wanted to wait until the dust settled and the truth of the matter became clear.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Cai Ze's shout.

"Brother Li, Brother Li?"

Li Yuan hurried to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Cai Ze smiled and said, "Brother Li was right in reminding us that all the missing people have been found.

Their bodies were all at the bottom of the lake, so it looked like they were murders, not missing.

The sect attaches great importance to this matter, and will soon send someone to set up a trap to hook out this secret person, Brother Li doesn't have to worry anymore. "

When Li Yuan heard that there was progress, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as he really checked it out and found out the clues, there should be a series of news later.

But things are not yet clear, and his illness will not be cured.

Suddenly, he clutched his chest and let out a violent cough, as if the coughing spirit had disappeared, "cough cough cough cough cough cough cough."

After a long time, he gasped for breath and said intermittently: "Brother Cai, I...cough cough hurts the bottom, this disease is difficult to recover, cough cough"

Cai Ze suddenly leaned over and said: "There is a genius doctor in the sect, if an outer disciple or an inner disciple is injured, this genius doctor will be there on call... Hey.
Brother Li is very capable, if the deputy sect master didn't look down on you, you would have been an outer disciple. "

And so he sighed,

With a look of anger on his face,
It seems to be complaining for Li Yuan.

"Oh" Li Yuan responded.

Looking forward to something, Cai Ze stared at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan asked: "The deputy sect master doesn't like me? Cough cough cough"

Cai Ze said: "That's right, brother Li must be an outer sect disciple, he is the deputy sect master, so let's not say it."

Li Yuan coughed a few times, and praised: "The deputy sect master really has a good eye. My body is difficult. It is difficult."

Cai Ze:? ? ? ? ? ?

Li Yuan continued to cough
Cai Ze:.
For a while, he was speechless.

Li Yuan didn't speak anymore, he was not suitable for the hot-blooded style, and he wouldn't be cannon fodder if he was provoked by others.

He prefers to stay in a relatively safe area, search for exercises as much as possible, and improve in a low-key manner.

The two chatted casually for a while, and Cai Ze chose to leave.

Li Yuan looked at the sky.

Today is sunny and sunny.

"Sister Yan." He called out.

In the backyard, the charming Lady Yan poked her head out from behind the door, "What's wrong, Mr.?"

"I'm going to the black market."

"what?"

Lady Yan ran out in a hurry, a little worried.

Li Yuandao: "I'll go and see if it's possible to continue taking sick leave."

"What if you don't want to?"

"that
I can only take one step at a time.”

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen again, took out the sausage casing that Aunt Wang had bought two days ago, poured some pig blood into it, tied it up and threw it into the mouth in advance, in case of emergency.

This can be regarded as an upgraded version of "props" for "spitting blood".

afternoon.

Li Yuan landed on the island in the middle of the lake again.

The black market is still operating in an orderly manner, but the atmosphere is somewhat inexplicably solemn and solemn.

There is a small forest on the edge of the island. The forest is on the right side of the water, and the trees are evergreen. It looks a bit gloomy at this moment, and you can vaguely see many handymen and disciples of the Blood Sword Sect surrounding there.

Li Yuan didn't get too close, but just glanced at it from a distance when passing by.

His pupils narrowed slowly, it turned out that the crowd was surrounded by more than a dozen straw mats, and on each straw mat lay a rotten "giant" that was bubbling and swelling.

The one on the far side can be vaguely identified as Wen Xiaoqiao.

In the air, there was a faint, disgusting smell of corpses.

Li Yuan's heart sank, his stomach rolled for a while, his Adam's apple rolled, and he hurried past without stopping.

Obviously, the disappearances on this island are not limited to these three recent ones but have a long history.

After a while.

He came to the main entrance of the black market, which is the north gate.

In the nameless kiosk, Mr. Li seemed to never wake up, resting sleepily on the recliner.

However, the information beside him betrayed him.

李元清晰地看到他的信息从原本的“130（180）~140（210）”变成了““135（180）~145（210）”。

Master Li seems to be resting, but he is actually recovering from his injuries.

Li Yuan glanced away, then retracted, today he must continue to take sick leave.

So, he covered his chest and saluted, "cough cough cough cough Yuan has seen Mr. Li. cough cough"

Master Li on the reclining chair suddenly said quietly: "Li Yuan, you actually want to stay home today, don't you?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then continued to cough, and said, "Master Li, I'm sorry. Yuan really has more than enough energy, but he doesn't have enough strength to return to his heart, but his body is sick."

"Hehehehe."

Master Li laughed, and suddenly said: "Well, Li Yuan, I'll give you a chance.

Don't ask for leave this time, just stay and follow me.

You, Zhongshi, don't go back, just stay with me at the north gate, bring me tea and water during the day, and leave the island to go home when it gets dark, how about it? "

Li Yuan coughed a few times, and said with a weak face: "Ahem, I don't know why Master Li values ​​Yuan Yuan."

After the voice fell, the air suddenly became dull, with a bit of depression.

Li Yuan resisted the oppressive feeling, but just bowed his head and said nothing, he could feel Master Li's scorching pupils looking at him carefully, as if trying to illuminate his whole body.

a long time,

With Master Li's opening, this feeling of depression dissipated.

Master Li only asked four words lightly.

"Are you staying or not?"

then,

Li Yuan answered decisively with one word: "Stay."

Master Li was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, and said, "Okay!"

On this day, Master Li didn't say anything to Li Yuan, he just ordered him to bring tea and water, and to grab fruit.

Li Yuan didn't ask any questions, he just took care of what Mr. Li had told him.

In the evening, Mr. Li got up yawning.

After nightfall, the island in the center of the lake where the black market is located will be banned, so Master Li doesn't have to guard here.

Master Li lived somewhere in Beishi, and Li Yuan needed to go to Nanshi to return by boat, so they parted ways halfway.

It was like this for the next few days.

Five days later.

Li Yuan still poured water for Master Li normally.

But today Master Li looked at him, and asked suddenly: "Do you want to learn sword skills?"

Li Yuandao: "Think."

Master Li said: "Then I will teach you the sword technique."

Li Yuanqi said: "Then what does Master Li need me to do?"

Master Li said: "What you need to do is not to do anything, but to pass on my lineage."

After finishing speaking, he said again, "Do you know why I want to teach you the exercises?"

Li Yuan shook his head cooperatively, with a curious expression on his face.

Master Li said: "Because you have talent and good fortune, you obviously came from the countryside, but you have already entered the rank at the age of 17;
You have a calm personality, you don't have the impetuosity of ordinary young people, you seek good fortune and avoid evil, and you escaped such a murder this time;
You have a good heart, serve me tea and water, without flattery or resentment;

Only a young man like you can pass on my practice so that it will not be lost.

I waited for a long time, but only waited for you, and that was you. "

Say it
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

"Have you not poured tea yet, saluted, and paid homage to your teacher?" Master Li said.

Li Yuan hurriedly poured hot tea, then prostrated himself on the ground, held the tea high with both hands, and said respectfully: "I have seen Master."

Master Li received this obeisance, took a sip of hot tea and put it on the side, and said: "My name is Li Yu, my school is called Yanyuemen, and the exercise I want to teach you is called Tupogong , the saber technique is called Chunqiu Dao."
