Traveling through the heavens begins with shooting the eagle

Chapter 71 Fisherman blocks the road
Thanks to Zhou Botong, the group had to stay in the mountains and forests for a few more days to accompany him to heal.

What's even more troublesome is that Zhou Botong's stubborn temper is getting worse. He feels that since Li Chuan can perform vein reversal skillfully, he must also practice it.

The result was that Zhou Botong had only recovered from his internal injuries for two days when he once again made a mistake in reversing his meridians and suffered internal injuries again.
In this regard, after Li Chuan tried to persuade him several times to no avail, he had no choice but to let Zhou Botong do it. After all, he was an elder and such a big man, could Li Chuan still force him to stop practicing?

In addition, with Zhou Botong's skill, even if the meridian reversal fails and there is a backlash, it will not cause too much damage. He will be alive and kicking again after just two days of rest, so just let it be.

After another half month, everyone finally arrived at the border of western Hunan and began to search for the Taoyuan County where the Duan Emperor lived in seclusion.

Emperor Duan has now become a monk and left Dali to live in seclusion in Taoyuan County. Although not many people know about this, Li Chuan naturally knows it.

So halfway through, Li Chuan told Zhou Botong about the matter, and led everyone to the southwest to the border of western Hunan.

With the accurate address, it was not troublesome to find Emperor Duan. In just two days, Li Chuan and the others had arrived in Taoyuan County and found out the location of the temple where Emperor Duan was currently practicing.

"I won't go with you." After arriving at the place, Zhou Botong did not want to see Emperor Duan. He only said that he would stay in the town for a few days and let Li Chuan and the others come to the town to look for him later.

He also specifically told Li Chuan and the others not to talk to him after meeting Emperor Duan, and he followed him.

Cheng Yaojia asked strangely: "Uncle Master, didn't you go to Dali with the Chongyang Patriarch to meet Emperor Duan? Speaking of which, you and Emperor Duan are old acquaintances, right? Why don't you go with us?"

The expression on Zhou Botong's face was stagnant, and he sighed and said, "You guys don't know, but I did something that I could not do to Prince Duan back then."

"Even after so many years, I still don't have the face to see him, so don't ask! And don't ask about it, I'm too embarrassed to say it."

"Anyway, just don't mention me. Come back to me after you finish the business."

After that, Zhou Botong turned around and ran away without giving anyone a chance to ask questions.

Seeing Zhou Botong like this, Cheng Yaojia couldn't help but become more curious. What grudges were there between Zhou Botong and Prince Duan?

She turned to look at Li Chuan and asked: "Senior brother, tell me why my uncle didn't dare to see Emperor Duan. He said that he had done something sorry for Emperor Duan. Could it be that he secretly imitated Emperor Duan?" Kung fu?"

Li Chuan secretly thought, that is much more serious than secretly learning his martial arts. Zhou Botong stole Prince Duan's concubine!

However, Li Chuan naturally would not tell Cheng Yaojia and the others about this matter. After all, how could the juniors like them mention and tease them casually about the grievances and hatreds between these elders.

"Okay, don't ask anymore. Since my uncle didn't tell me, it must be something he doesn't want us to know. You girl, don't expose your elders' shortcomings."

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain first and find Prince Duan before we get down to business."

After saying that, Li Chuan turned around and walked up the mountain. Seeing that Li Chuan was unwilling to talk more about Zhou Botong, the two women stopped asking further questions.

After the three of them went up the mountain, they were blocked by a fisherman just halfway.

I saw a large river flowing through the mountain stream, and above the river, there was only a narrow bridge connecting to the other side. On the bridge sat a middle-aged fisherman who was fishing. When he saw Li Chuan and others arriving, he spoke directly. "Young students, there is no road behind this river. If you go to the mountains for an outing, please take a different route."

Cheng Yaojia and Li Mochou didn't know the identity of the fisherman and thought he was just an ordinary fisherman. They reminded them kindly. Cheng Yaojia even stupidly wanted to thank him.

However, Li Chuan knew that this person just didn't want them to go up the mountain: "Sir, you should be one of the four great guards around Emperor Duan, right?"

"Huh?!" After hearing Li Chuan reveal his identity, the middle-aged fisherman looked at him with sharp eyes and asked, "Who are you, this young man? You actually know my identity?"

Li Chuan raised his hands and cupped his fists: "I am a disciple of the Quanzhen sect, Li Zhichuan, this is my junior sister, Cheng Yaojia, and this is Miss Li from the Ancient Tomb Sect."

"The three of me went up the mountain today specifically to visit Emperor Duan. I want to ask Emperor Duan for help if I have something important to do."

"From the Quanzhen sect?" The middle-aged fisherman looked at Li Chuan carefully and saw that he was indeed dressed as a Taoist from the Quanzhen sect, so he lowered his guard a little.

But even so, he still didn't want Li Chuan to go up the mountain to disturb Lord Duan's Qing Dynasty, so he simply said.

"I see, but you are too late, Mr. Li. Your Majesty passed away a few years ago. No matter what you want to ask of His Majesty, it is impossible. Why don't you just go back and find another way to go?" .”

Emperor Duan is no longer alive? Not to mention Li Chuan, even Li Mochou and Cheng Yaojia didn't believe the middle-aged fisherman's words.

The main reason is that they had just arrived here before, and the fisherman had lied to them, which naturally made people suspicious, thinking that this person might not want them to see Emperor Duan, so he deliberately lied and deceived him, right?
But then again, as a bodyguard of Emperor Duan, it seems impossible to fabricate such a disrespectful lie that his master is dead.

Li Chuan knew the inside story and simply said it again.

"Is that so? Since Lord Duan is no longer alive, I will put it another way and ask you, sir, to inform Master Yideng on your behalf that Quanzhen disciple Li Zhichuan is asking for an audience."

Hearing this, the fisherman's expression changed instantly: "You boy, I tried to persuade you to go back, but you insist on pestering me!"

"I don't care whether you come to see Emperor Duan or Master Yideng, there is no one you are looking for here, so you can go on your own."

Li Chuan shook his head, thinking that the King of Hell is really easy to meet, but the kid is difficult to deal with.

"In this case, I can only offend you."

"Is it possible that you still want to force your way up the mountain?!"

The fisherman stood up directly and stood on the bridge looking at Li Chuan with a cold face.

Li Chuan didn't say anything more. After all, looking at this person's appearance, he was determined not to let them go up the mountain. Words were useless, so they could only force their way in.

Li Chuan jumped up and flew onto the bridge. He touched the bridge under his feet, but in an instant, the figure had already arrived in front of the fisherman.
