Li Tongya attended the funeral, changed into a white robe, and counted the days, which was also the time when Mochiyue Hufang City opened, so he put away the monster fur and many materials he had hunted in these days and headed north.
Riding the wind around the reeds a few times, I wanted to wait for time to pinch a wisp of clear air from the river, but I saw a withered yellow and the riverbed was dry and cracked, so I had to come out empty-handed.
"After a few months of drought, the river network has dried up, and the reeds have all withered and yellowed.
After leaving the reed sand, Li Tongya rode the wind to Wangyue Lake, the waterline of Wangyue Lake retreated for hundreds of miles, the fish carcasses everywhere were crawling with maggots, and many small islands appeared on the lake.
Li Tongya flicked his sleeves and struck, and the formation hidden in the air was immediately touched, emitting bursts of silver light.
Now is not what it used to be, he just swept his spiritual consciousness to find the big boat on the lake, and took a few steps in the air and fell on it.
"This lord! But to the Mochiyue Lake Market?"
A young man hurriedly ran out of the cabin below, but the three-layer circumferential wheel cultivation of fetal breath asked diligently.
"Not bad."
Li Tongya found a place to sit down, and saw the young man serving tea, but the figure of the white-haired old man was gone, and asked:
"I remember that the person driving this boat more than ten years ago was a white-haired old man, but now he has changed people."
The young man suddenly realized, put down the teacup in his hand, and replied repeatedly:
"The seniors didn't know, the old man failed to break through the qi training, died ten years ago, and there was no spiritual hole in the family.
Li Tongya suddenly froze, gently picked up the teacup, and did not drink the tea out of caution, so he had to put it down again and said with some regret:
"It's a pity."
"Hey."
The young man lowered his eyes and bowed his hands, and quickly replied:
"The seniors don't know, the old man lived for one hundred and eight years, and he lived until he died.
"Oh?"
The young man saw that Li Tongya had cultivated qi refining at the age of only thirty, and he had a storage bag and a gas cylinder tied to his waist, so he knew that this person was probably a child of a big family, so he had to smile bitterly:
"Seniors don't know, we have a simple inheritance of loose cultivation, and most of them use the first-grade fetal breath breathing method, and it takes more than ten years to breathe in to touch the corners of the condensation wheel, and it is normal to be trapped in fetal breath for the rest of your life."
"I see."
The young man had been working on the lake for more than ten years, and most of the qi refining monks he saw were high above him and disdained to speak, but Li Tongya looked focused and nodded frequently, and for a while he opened the gates of the young man's words, and quickly continued:
"The seniors are extremely talented, they became qi refiners at a young age, unlike these scattered cultivators, who often hold a book of fetal breath exercises for a lifetime, and want to draw a talisman to refine an elixir but have no inheritance, it's really miserable!"
After hearing this, Li Tongya suddenly remembered the "Taiyin Breathing and Nurturing Wheel Sutra" at home, and thought to himself:
"I'm afraid this spell won't be worth tying the entire Mochiyue Lake family together! Looking at this cultivation speed, it is at least more than ten times that of ordinary exercises, not to mention that the mana refined is pure and solid, far better than others."
Pretending to be careless, Li Tongya smiled and sighed:
"I don't know what kind of prenatal breathing method the disciples of that great sect are practicing!"
The young man nodded heavily and smiled:
"I have been sailing on this lake for more than ten years, and I have seen a twenty-year-old disciple of a great sect who practices qi, but I have also seen a ninety-year-old old man with a layer of fetal breath, I have only heard that the Qingchi Sect's fetal breath technique is the best among all sects, it is a fifth-grade method, and it is four times faster than ordinary exercises!"
"It's really amazing!"
Li Tongya was amazed, changed the topic calmly, pulled around, and chatted with the man.
"I heard that the mountains in the west are very fierce!"
"No!"
The young man nodded repeatedly and flaunted:
"I heard that the king of the mountains has reached the peak of qi training! The Jinmen families who killed the west bank lost their helmets and armor, and the head of the family who practiced qi broke three, and the losses were even more incalculable."
Li Tongya was listening, and saw a few more people on the boat, the young man had to reluctantly confess and leave, Li Tongya thought to himself:
"Jiani Xi is still powerful, it's better to die quickly, so that I don't have to worry about sleeping."
Li Tongya listened to a few people chatting for a while, and then felt that the big ship was shaking, and Mochiyue Hufang City was already in front of him.
After getting off the boat and walking a few steps, Li Tongya mortgaged a spirit stone to rent a stall, put a lot of materials on it, and then threw a few talismans obtained from killing people, took out a wooden slip, and simply looked at the spell on the stall.
He had also studied the talisman for more than ten years, and the talismans he drew could meet the standard of ten sheets, barely worth the cost of talisman paper, plus the talisman ink, it was still a loss, so he had to continue practicing, hoping to earn money for this talisman one day.
After thinking about it carefully, he looked down at the storage bag and two gas cylinders on his waist, Li Tongya probably guessed how the boatman knew that he was a member of the family, so he took an inch of spiritual cloth and wrapped it on the gas cylinder and stuffed it into his arms.
This time Li Tongya came early, the flow of people was quite large, and he almost sold out the things in an hour, and he didn't bothered to wait any longer for the remaining one or two, so he took the stall to retrieve the spirit stone and paid the rent of ten pounds of spiritual rice.
"Selling eleven spirit stones is not bad."
Spending five spirit stones to buy the Jade Bud Pill, plus one obtained from the cave house, Li Tongya thought that in a few months, he could try to break through the fourth layer of qi training.
"Although this Jade Bud Pill is good, erysipelas should not be underestimated, and you will have to wait a few more months until the erysipelas in the body is naturally eliminated before taking it."
Li Tongya had only taken a few steps when he saw a middle-aged female cultivator walking in front of her, with a five-layer jade capital wheel cultivation, who looked about the same age as Li Tongya, but she respectfully clasped her hands.
"Senior! Do you still remember me?"
Li Tongya felt that this person was familiar for a while, but he couldn't remember this person's name, so he had to bow his hands awkwardly:
"May I ask ......?"
"Guanyun Fengfang City, Qingwu Bow."
The middle-aged female cultivator said with a smile, Li Tongya suddenly realized that he had bought a green black bow for Li Xiangping in the market at the foot of Guanyun Peak, where he paid the offering, and he bought it from this person.
"It's been more than ten years, how are you doing?"
Li Tongya wondered why this person stopped him, and he was still exchanging pleasantries on his face.
The middle-aged female cultivator's expression was a little complicated, and she said in a low voice:
"It's just been more than ten years, and the senior has already practiced qi......"
"It's just luck."
Li Tongya snorted, and then saw the woman correcting her expression and said:
"My body is Lin Jingyi, and my husband is Xu Yangping, a qi training monk."
"Li Tongya."
Li Tongya nodded, and then saw Lin Jingyi whispering:
"I have a cave ruin in my hand, senior is interested?"
"Cave Mansion?"
Li Tongya squinted his eyes slightly and thought to himself:
"How can there be such a good thing! I can't wait to meet Pingshui, I don't have any friendship, where can I entrust it, this person is here to slander me......"
"Oh? Such a good thing?"
Li Tongya laughed, Lin Jingyi knew that he didn't believe it, so he quickly whispered:
"We have already investigated, it is a cave house of a foundation building monk at least two hundred years ago, and we have the means to enter that cave house, but there is one less qi training monk......"
Li Tongya laughed and asked rhetorically:
"Could it be that a group of monks from the Fetal Breath Realm can't break the cave house formation, let me take the lead."
After saying that, he looked at her quietly, ready to leave.
"That's not the case."
Lin Jingyi lowered his head and smiled awkwardly, and replied:
"I already have two qi training, but I am still one point away from entering this cave."
As soon as these words came out, Li Tongya believed a little and was willing to sit down and talk with Lin Jingyi, the two found a bamboo building, ordered a cup of tea, and listened to Lin Jingyi's words:
"My husband and I were originally active in the Mushroom Forest Plain, but a few years ago, when the Golden Gate invaded, there were no people in that place, and the market was not open.
"Who knew that as soon as I arrived in the west, I encountered a severe drought in Wangyue Lake, and I retreated hundreds of miles, but a cave in the lake was exposed.
"That cave house has been running for hundreds of years, and there are some shortcomings, so it was discovered by me and others, and I waited to cast a concealment spell in that place and came to find a man."
"Huh."
Li Tongya nodded noncommittally and said in a low voice:
"Why are you looking for me?"
"Because Your Excellency's cultivation is shallow......"
Lin Jingyi smiled awkwardly and explained:
"My husband is only on the second level of qi training, and the person I found a few days ago is only on the third level of qi training......"
"I see."
Li Tongya took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"Is your husband outside the door?"
Li Tongya had already found that there was a person waiting outside the door, and at this time, Lin Jingyi also nodded, looked up and called, the person outside the door went straight in, clenched his fists and said:
"In Xu Yangping, I have seen Brother Tongya!"
Li Tongya saw that this person's face was quite upright, looking like he was in his fifties, and he also bowed 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 look for the surrounding families."
Lin Jingyi took over the conversation and explained:
"The mountain gate formations of those families are tightly covered, who knows that there are a few qi training inside, and they will never go because they are like me."
Li Tongya also didn't talk nonsense with these two people again, and said in a deep voice:
"Xuanjing Spirit Oath."
Xu Yangping nodded, pinched the spell and repeated Lin Jingyi's words before, and said in a low voice:
"What is said is true, Xuanjing is an oath!"
Li Tongya listened carefully on the side, there was indeed no omission, seeing that Xu Yangping's majestic body had not declined, so he believed it for seven points and replied:
"When will you leave?"
"Now!"
The couple was already excited, Lin Jingyi held back and said to Li Tongya:
"I also ask the Taoist friends to also make an oath not to attack us, although the Xuanjing Spirit Oath is mostly used for secrecy and falsification, and it is not very binding on this, but with this oath, we can be considered a little more at ease."
"Yes."
Li Tongya made an oath and rode the wind with Xu Yangping, seeing that this person's primeval essence was slightly mottled, he knew that this miscellaneous qi swallowed by Xu Yangping was used to practice qi, and he was a little more relieved.
On the contrary, when the couple saw that Li Tongya's primeval essence was mellow and long, and the body protection primeval essence was clear and bright, they immediately looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
————
Lijing Town.
Chen Erniu is seventy years old, his hair is gray, he has lived as an ordinary farmer in the mountains for two lifetimes, his old eyes are cloudy, and everyone in Lijing Town wants to call him uncle.
Sitting on the chair, Chen Erniu was restless, the dry weather made him have nightmares every night, always thinking of the big bird that fell from the sky.
"Hey."
When Lichuankou was taken back, Chen Erniu went to find Chen Sanshui, but nothing was found except a tooth and a puddle of blood.
Chen Erniu smiled coldly, sneered, followed the horse's hooves to look around in the haystack on the side of the road, and finally found a pile of blood.
The eldest son Chen Sanshui died miserably, the old man kept the spirit for him, and the children under Chen Sanshui's knees were busy dealing with the drought weather, and they were not as diligent as him.
"Donghe doesn't know if he can come back......"
Chen Erniu frowned, his white hair was sparse, but he heard a commotion outside the courtyard, a large group of people shouting, and the crying and crying made him tremble.
He moved to the head of the village with a cane, and there were already many people waiting there, a group of embarrassed men with muddy faces were kneeling on the ground, surrounded by low crying.
"I'm back."
Chen Erniu straightened his back hard, and finally saw Li Xuanxuan and Chen Donghe in front, Li Xuanxuan had grown a shallow beard, and was staring at the Shanyue man in front of him in disbelief.
"You...... Say it again?!"
"It's a curse... I haven't even brought back the body......"
Li Xuanxuan was stunned for two breaths, tears flowed out like a burst dam, running down his face and down his neck.
"Donghe... Go up the mountain with me, and the rest will go home first."
Li Xuanxuan covered his face and was silent for a long time, squeezing out a sentence from his throat, Chen Donghe in front of him was full of tears, and the crowd silently separated one way and watched them go away.
"The head of the house......"
Chen Donghe called Li Xuanxuan in a low voice, waking him up from the heavy blow, Li Xuanxuan looked at the green black bow in his hand, and he couldn't stop crying.
"Call me the young head of the family......"
Li Xuanxuan replied with tears in his eyes, stepping on the stone road, holding the bow tightly.
The two of them walked silently for a while, and met Li Xuanfeng, who had just left the customs and hurriedly went down the mountain.
"How is that possible!"
Li Xuanfeng's eyes widened, his eyes quickly moistened, he cracked his hands viciously and snatched the bow and arrow, and shouted:
"Who is it!"
Chen Donghe felt even more suffocated when he saw the Li brothers, and choked up:
"It's Shanyue's curse."
Li Xuanfeng opened his mouth, unable to spit out a word, looked at Li Xuanxuan with tears on his face, and sat blankly on the bluestone beside him.
"What a low-cost method."
Li Xuanfeng gritted his teeth and burst into tears.
