Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 103 Returning to Fangshi
After attending the funeral, Li Tongya changed into a white robe. After counting the days, it was time for the opening of Wangyuehufang City, so he collected the monster furs and many materials he had hunted in these days, and headed north.

I drove the wind around the reeds for a few laps. I wanted to wait for the time to pick up a ray of fresh air from the river, but I saw a piece of withered yellow and the river bed was dry and cracked, so I had no choice but to come out empty-handed.

"It has been dry for several months, the river network has dried up, and all the reeds have withered and turned yellow. How can there be any fresh air in the river?"

After leaving the reed marshes, Li Tongya drove the wind to Moon Moon Lake. The waterline of Moon Moon Lake receded hundreds of miles. The fish carcasses everywhere were covered with maggots, and many small islands appeared on the surface of the lake.

With a flick of his sleeve, Li Tongya struck, and the hidden formation in the air was immediately activated, emitting bursts of silver light.

This is not what it used to be, he found the big boat on the lake with just a glance of his spiritual sense, and landed on it after a few steps.

"My lord! But go to Wangyuehufang City?"

A young man quickly ran out from the cabin below, but with a three-level cycle wheel cultivation base, he asked attentively.

"good."

Li Tongya found a place to sit down in response to the sound, and saw the young man serving tea, but he couldn't see the white-haired old man, and asked:
"I remember that the person driving this boat was a white-haired old man more than ten years ago, why has he changed now?"

The young man suddenly realized that he put down the tea bowl in his hand, and replied repeatedly:

"Senior didn't know something. The old man failed to break through in Qi training and died ten years ago. There is no spirit orifice in the family. The eldest son exchanged the spirit for a field and returned to his hometown to become a rich man."

Li Tongya froze for a moment, picked up the tea bowl lightly, did not drink the tea out of caution, had to put it down again, and said regretfully:

"Pity."

"Eh."

The young man lowered his eyes and cupped his hands, and quickly replied:
"Senior doesn't know something, but the old man lived a full [-] years, until he died at the end of his life. We sailors are all envious of his good luck!"

"Oh?"

Seeing that Li Tongya's appearance was only in his thirties and he had already practiced Qi refining, and he was wearing a storage bag and gas cylinder around his waist, he knew that Li Tongya was probably a child of a big family, so he smiled wryly:
"Senior, I don't know anything about it. I am a casual cultivator with a simple inheritance. Most of them use the first-grade fetal breath breathing method. It takes more than ten years of breathing to touch the corner of the condensate wheel. It is normal to be stuck in the fetal breath for a lifetime."

"I see."

The young man has been working on the lake for more than ten years, and most of the qi refining monks he saw were high-ranking and disdainful to speak, but Li Tongya focused on his face and nodded frequently. For a while, he opened the gate of the young man's words, and hurriedly continued:
"Senior is extremely talented, and he became a Qi refiner at a young age. Unlike these casual practitioners, who often hold a book of fetal breath exercises for a lifetime, wanting to draw a talisman to refine a pill but have no inheritance, it is really miserable !"

Hearing this, Li Tongya suddenly remembered the "Taiyin Tuna Yanglun Sutra" at home, and thought to himself:

"I'm afraid this formula can't even bind the entire Wangyuehu family together! Looking at the speed of this cultivation, it is at least ten times faster than ordinary techniques, not to mention the pure and condensed mana, which is far superior to others. "

Pretending to be casual, Li Tongya smiled and sighed:
"I don't know what level of fetal breath method that big sect disciple is practicing!"

The young man nodded heavily, and said with a smile:

"The villain has been sailing on this lake for more than ten years. I have seen a 20-year-old Dazong sect practicing qi training, but I have also seen a 90-year-old old man with a first-level fetal breath. I only heard that the fetal breath exercise of the Qingchi sect is the best. Zhu Zong is a five-rank method, which is four times faster than ordinary exercises!"

"It's amazing!"

Li Tongya was amazed, changed the subject calmly, chatted about Shan Yue with that person.

"I heard that the mountain in the west is very fierce!"

"No!"

The young man nodded again and again, showing off:

"The villain heard that the king of Shanyue has reached the peak of Qi training! He killed all the families of the Tongjinmen on the west bank and lost their armor and helmets. Three of the owners of Qi training were lost, and the losses were countless."

Li Tongya was listening when he saw a few more people on board, the young man had no choice but to reluctantly plead guilty and leave, Li Tongya thought to himself:
"Ja Nixi is still powerful, it's better to die soon, so that I don't have to sleep peacefully."

Li Tongya listened to a few people chatting for a while, and then felt the big boat tremble, and Wangyuehufang City had already arrived in front of him.

After getting off the boat and walking a few steps, Li Tongya mortgaged a spirit stone and rented a booth, put a lot of materials on it, then threw a few talismans that he got from killing people, took out a wooden slip, and simply looked at the magic formula at the booth.

He has also studied the talismans for more than ten years, and the talismans he has drawn can reach the standard of ten sheets, which can barely cover the cost of the talisman paper. If the talisman ink is added, it is still a loss, so he has to continue to practice. I hope that one day I can earn money for this talisman.

After thinking about it carefully, he looked down at the storage bag on his waist and the two gas cylinders. Li Tongya probably guessed how the boatman knew that he was a child of the family, so he took an inch of spiritual cloth and wrapped it around the gas cylinders. Into the arms, now he looks like a casual cultivator.

This time Li Tongya came early, the traffic was quite large, and he sold almost all the things in an hour, and he didn't bother to wait for the remaining one or two items, so he closed the stall to get back the spirit stone, and paid the rental fee of ten catties of spirit rice.

"I sold eleven spirit stones, which is not bad."

After spending five spirit stones on Jade Bud Pill and one from the cave, Li Tongya thought that in a few months, he could try to break through the fourth level of Qi training.

"Although this Yuya Pill is good, the erysipelas should not be underestimated. We have to wait a few more months until the erysipelas is naturally eliminated in the body before taking it."

Li Tongya had only walked a few steps, when he saw a middle-aged female cultivator walking in front of her, with a five-level Yujinglun cultivation base, she looked about the same age as Li Tongya, but she bowed her hands respectfully.

"Senior! Do you still remember me?"

Li Tongya felt that this person looked familiar, but couldn't remember the name of this person, so he cupped his hands in embarrassment and said:
"Excuse me..."

"Guanyunfengfang City, Qingwu Bow."

The middle-aged female cultivator smiled authentically, and Li Tongya suddenly realized that he had bought a green black bow for Li Xiangping in the square market at the foot of Guanyun Peak where he paid offerings, and he bought it from this person. Young girl, now she is over middle age.

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, how is fellow daoist?"

Li Tongya wondered why this person called him, but he still exchanged greetings on his face.

The middle-aged female cultivator looked a little complicated, and said in a low voice:
"But for more than ten years, senior has already practiced Qi..."

"Just luck."

Li Tongya let out a haha, then saw the woman correcting her expression and said:

"My concubine is Lin Jingyi, and my husband is Xu Yangping, a Qi cultivator."

"Li Tongya."

Li Tongya nodded, and Lin Jingyi said in a low voice:
"I have a cave ruins in my hand, are you interested, senior?"

"Dongfu?"

Li Tongya narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself:

"How can there be such a good thing! I can't wait to meet by chance. I don't have any friendship at all. I can't trust him. Could this person come to kill me..."

"Oh? Such a good thing?"

Li Tongya laughed, and Lin Jingyi knew he didn't believe him, so he quickly whispered:
"I've already checked it out. It's the cave of a foundation-building cultivator at least 200 years ago. I have the means to enter that cave, but I'm missing a Qi-training monk..."

Li Tongya laughed, and asked:
"Could it be that a group of fetus-breathing monks can't break through the cave formation, let me take the lead."

After saying that, he looked at her quietly, ready to leave in a huff.

"That's not it."

Lin Jingyi bowed his head and smiled awkwardly, and replied:
"I already have two Qi practitioners, but I'm still one point away from entering this cave."

As soon as these words came out, Li Tongya believed a little bit and was willing to sit down and have a talk with Lin Jingyi. The two found a bamboo building, ordered a cup of tea, and then listened to Lin Jingyi say:

"My husband and I used to be active in the area around the Fungi Grove. A few years ago, we invaded the Golden Gate. There were no people in that place, and the market was closed. Fortunately, my husband has cultivated Qi, and I will go west to this Moon Lake. Look."

"Unexpectedly, just to the west, there was a severe drought in Wangyue Lake, retreating hundreds of miles, but a cave in the lake was exposed.

"The cave has been in operation for hundreds of years, and there are some gaps, which were discovered by us. I cast a concealment spell on that place and came to find someone."

"Huh."

Li Tongya nodded noncommittally, and said in a low voice:

"Why are you looking for me?"

"Because Your Excellency's cultivation level is shallow..."

Lin Jingyi smiled awkwardly and explained:
"My husband is only at the second level of Qi training, and the person I found a few days ago is only at the third level of Qi training. After seeing all kinds of dangers, I hope to find someone with similar cultivation..."

"I see."

Li Tongya took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"Is your husband outside the door?"

Li Tongya had already noticed that there was a person waiting outside the door, and at this moment, Lin Jingyi nodded, raised his head and called out, the person outside the door walked in, clasped his fists and said:

"Xu Yangping, I met brother Tongya!"

Li Tongya saw that this person's face was fairly straight, he looked like he was in his fifties, so he also cupped his hands and said:
"Don't be polite."

Xu Yangping nodded repeatedly and said with a smile:

"I've been waiting for dozens of days. If brother Tongya doesn't show up again, I'll have to grit my teeth and search for the surrounding families."

Lin Jingyi took over the conversation and explained:
"Those families' mountain gate formations are tightly guarded, and who knows how many Qi practitioners stay inside, and I will absolutely refuse to go there unless it is too late."

Li Tongya didn't talk nonsense with these two anymore, and said in a deep voice:
"Xuan Jingling swears."

Xu Yangping nodded, and repeated Lin Jingyi's words with the help of the formula, and said in a low voice:
"What you said is true, Xuanjing swears it!"

Li Tongya listened carefully from the side, and there was indeed nothing missing. Seeing that Xu Yangping's majestic aura had not faded, he believed it to [-]% and replied:

"When are you leaving?"

"Now!"

The couple were already very excited, Lin Jingyi forced himself to be patient, and said to Li Tongya:

"Fellow daoists, please also make an oath not to attack us. Although the Xuanjingling oath is mostly used to keep secrets and falsifications, it is not very binding on it, but we can feel at ease with this oath."

"can."

Li Tongya made an oath and rode the wind with Xu Yangping, seeing that this person's true energy was slightly mottled, he knew that Xu Yangping swallowed the mixed qi to practice qi, and he was a little more relieved.

On the contrary, the couple saw that Li Tongya's true energy was thick and long, and his protective true energy was clear and bright, they immediately looked at each other and smiled wryly.

----

Lijing Town.

Chen Erniu is 70 years old, his hair is gray, he has lived in the mountains for two lifetimes as an ordinary farmer, his old eyes are cloudy, and everyone in Lijing Town calls him uncle.

Sitting on the chair, Chen Erniu was restless. The dry weather made him have nightmares every night, and he always thought of the big bird that fell from the sky.

"Hey."

When Lichuankou came back, Chen Erniu went to look for Chen Sanshui, but found nothing except a tooth and a puddle of blood. Everyone in Lichuankou said that Chen Sanshui was captured by Shanyue and taken to the west.

Chen Erniu smiled coldly, snorted, looked around in the grass pile along the roadside along the horse's hooves, and finally found a pool of blood. The old man broke through the grass and looked down, crying loudly.

The eldest son, Chen Sanshui, died miserably. The old man guarded the spirit for him. The children under Chen Sanshui's knees were all busy coping with the drought, so they didn't come as hard as he did.

"Donghe doesn't know if he can come back..."

Chen Erniu frowned, his white hair was thinning, but he heard the commotion outside the courtyard, a large group of people shouting loudly, the crying and shouting made him tremble with fear.

He moved to the head of the village on crutches, and there were already many people waiting there. A group of distraught men with muddy faces were kneeling on the ground, and there were low cries all around.

"came back."

Chen Erniu straightened his back vigorously, and finally saw Li Xuanxuan and Chen Donghe in front of him. Li Xuanxuan had already grown a light beard, and was staring at the Shanyue man in front of him in disbelief.

"Can you say that again?!"

"It's a curse... I haven't even brought back the corpse..."

Li Xuanxuan was stunned for two breaths, tears flowed out like a bank bursting, flowing down his face to his neck.

"Donghe... go up the mountain with me, and the rest of you will go home first."

Li Xuanxuan covered his face in silence for a long while, and squeezed out a sentence. The face of Chen Donghe in front of him was full of tears, and the crowd silently parted ways, watching them go away.

"Homeowner..."

Chen Donghe called out to Li Xuanxuan in a low voice, waking him up from the heavy blow. Li Xuanxuan looked at the green and black bow in his hand, and couldn't stop his tears.

"Call me Young Patriarch..."

Li Xuanxuan answered while wiping away his tears, stepping on the cobblestone road, holding his bow tightly.

The two walked silently for a while with their heads down, and they ran into Li Xuanfeng who had just left the pass and hurried down the mountain. Li Xuanfeng just lowered his head and flicked the green-black bow in Li Xuanxuan's hand, then he was stunned.

"how is this possible!"

Li Xuanfeng's eyes were wide open, the eye sockets were quickly moistened, he fiercely grabbed the bow and arrow with his hands, and shouted:
"who is it!"

Chen Donghe felt even more suffocated when he saw the Li family brothers, he choked up and said:
"It's Yamakoshi's curse."

Li Xuanfeng opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. He looked at Li Xuanxuan, who was full of tears, and sat on the bluestone beside him blankly.

"Good low means."

Li Xuanfeng gritted his teeth and burst into tears.
