Chapter 69 Younger
It rained all night. The wall of this dilapidated house was already loose. When the swordsman Lao Guo put up the awning, he drove two iron nails into it, and water slowly seeped in, making it even looser.
When the rain gradually subsided and the sky turned white, there was a crashing sound, and the linoleum cloth collapsed under the weight of the water on the top, covering the two of them. The donkey underneath was frightened, brayed, and ran away dazedly, swinging its hooves.
Only then did Li Wuxiang come out of the remaining bricks.
There are also techniques when making bricks. He got on the horse first, asked the black horse to lower its neck, cover its eyes, take a few steps back, then spurred the horse forward, and the horse's nose hit the wooden wall.
If it were a real wall, the horse would have hit it hard, but at the moment of collision, the wooden wall loosened slightly, and one person and one horse immediately pushed out the wooden board like a bulging rubber ball. , leaping out to the ground. Looking at the dark horse again, he just stood there for a few steps and snorted heavily. After I rubbed its nose again, it was completely relieved.
Li Wuxiang jumped off the horse and uncovered the linoleum, his hands were covered with mud - the two people were lying in the muddy water, motionless as if they were dead. After the two of them revealed their identities to each other last night, they stopped scolding each other and just kept their mouths shut to compete. But the Wumi Dan was quite powerful, and the two of them stayed in the mud until late at night, staring at each other, and finally passed out from the cold.
He first touched their wrists and probed their inner auras.
These two people have strong vitality in their bodies, and they should have already established their foundations and entered the stage of refining their Qi. But their auras were very mixed, a bit like what they looked like after he devoured the Wang family. There is also very little energy in the body. When he loses consciousness, the breath is sometimes smooth and sometimes not smooth.
Zhao Qi and Zeng Jianqiu both said that a suitable skill for practice should be able to make people move by themselves after building the foundation, while moving, sitting and lying down. It should be practiced all the time. From this point of view, these two people's The technique is really a bit lame.
So he helped the two men up and asked them to sit against the wall. Then he looked inside the earthen pot - only a little water had entered, but the remaining charcoal inside was still bright red. He moved the branches a little, and the heat came up again.
He placed the canister between the two of them, tied up his horse, and sat on the low wall next to him to wait.
The drizzle also stopped, and the sun emerged, soon plating this area with gold and sparkle. Swordsman Lao Guo first frowned and raised his eyelids, and then Lao Deng took a deep breath, but did not move again.
Li Wuxiang immediately jumped off the low wall: "You two, are you awake?"
The two slowly opened their eyes and looked dazed, but they were both glancing at their swords.
"It'll be great to wake up. I just passed by here and saw you two lying in the mud. I thought you were killed." Li Wuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "You are in the wilderness here, too. From Ranshan?”
The two of them were stunned at the same time and looked at each other, and then Lao Guo said: "Ah... you are?"
Li Wuxiang smiled: "My home is Pixia Mountain..."
But he immediately changed his mind: "Oh, it's a small place. The elders in my family asked me to go out and make a living. I heard that there was an immortal Xu who asked people to go to Ranshan to find treasures. I wanted to see it."
Lao Guo and Lao Deng were startled for a moment, then immediately looked at each other, and a word came to their minds - Chu'er.
"Ah... yes, so are we." Lao Deng tried to move his arm and found that he could move. He quickly touched his back shoulder and touched a puddle of paper pulp. He quickly got up, grabbed his sword aside, and said, "We are on the same path, and it is fate. You are a good person, and you really saved both of our lives."
He took the sword and leaned to the side, touched his bun, and held the sword with his hands motionless. Lao Guo also grabbed the sword in his hand and stood on the other side.
Li Wuxiang nodded: "Then just wake up. I'll continue on my way. Let's see you when we get to Ranshan."
After he finished speaking, he jumped on the horse, pinched it gently, and asked the horse to walk slowly.
The two of them watched him leave. After he rode his horse for more than ten steps, Lao Guo withdrew his eyes and stared at Lao Deng: "We don't know each other before we fight, so it's just a misunderstanding, right?"
Lao Deng looked at him for a while: "I misunderstood. Are they all doing things for Xu Xianren?"
"But my donkey has escaped. Where can I find it? This should be blamed on you, right? You should pay for it."
Old Deng said to Li Wuxiang in the distance: "Isn't this ready? The horse and what's on it belong to you, and what's on the human body belongs to me."
"You pay me for the horse and what's on it, and half of what's on the human body."
"That's a horse, and that's a donkey! Okay, let's talk about it later. People are going to be far away, so hurry up and follow them!"
The two of them worked together to roll up the linoleum cloth, and quickly caught up with each other, shouting: "Young hero, young hero, wait for us, let's go together as a companion!"
Li Wuxiang looked back at the horse, hesitated for a moment, and then became happy again: "Okay, I feel bored alone."
Lao Guo and Lao Deng were beside him, but Li Wuxiang's horse was either fast or slow, so the two of them had to keep pace.
Lao Guo put his hands on his forehead to make a pavilion and looked into the distance: "If we walk like this, we can reach Ranshan today."
"Ah? Really?"
"Hmm, so you're not from here?" "No."
"Haha, the young hero has not been away from home for long?"
"Hmm...ah, no, I've been wandering around in the world for several years. By the way, where is Ranshan? What treasure are we looking for?"
Both Lao Guo and Lao Deng were stunned and looked at each other. Then Lao Guo said: "You don't know Ranshan?"
"Well... I only know a little bit."
Lao Deng poked Lao Guo with his finger: "It seems that my home is far away. Maybe he is from another parish."
"Don't worry." Lao Guo whispered, and then said, "Ranshan is our thirty-sixth sect. Have you ever heard of the thirty-sixth sect, right?"
Li Wuxiang reined in his horse: "Ah? I know this, the thirty-six sects... Then let's go to someone else's dojo to find treasures? Isn't that good?"
"Hey, other sects can't tell, but this Ranshan, it's like this - the sect leader of Ranshan died more than ten years ago! But before he died, Ranshan wouldn't be able to do it. Once the sect leader dies, , His disciples couldn’t stand the hardship on the mountain, so they all ran away, leaving only one guarding the mountain gate.”
"In the past few years, people from the Jujian Sect, Qingyi Sect, Yangzhen Sect and other small sects near us have quietly gone to the mountains several times to see if they can get some treasures. I heard that We have found a lot of magic weapons. We rangers are very greedy, but there are still people on the mountain, and we can’t fight with the people of the Thirty-Six Sect.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"But a few days ago, the people who guarded the mountain also left. Didn't this become an ownerless place? The nearby Jianghu comrades all wanted to go to the mountain to see if they could pick up leaks. As a result, Xu Xian just a few days ago Wouldn’t someone just call on everyone to go up the mountain to hunt for treasures? It’s easier to do things with more people, and you can get away if anything goes wrong. As long as you move quickly when things go wrong, there will be someone tall to protect you if something goes wrong!”
Li Wuxiang nodded. "Mountain Guardian" should refer to Zhao Qi. It turns out that while he was guarding the longevity lantern, some unscrupulous sect from nearby had secretly gone to the mountain to search for things? He has never mentioned these things... but he certainly doesn't want others to look down upon him.
He thought that Ranshan had declined, but he didn't expect that it would decline like this. It's no wonder that Zhao Puppet didn't even get the elixir - it's really harmful to people if they don't do their job properly.
"Who is Immortal Xu? I have only heard people say it. Have you seen him?"
Lao Deng poked Lao Guo again, and Lao Guo slapped his hand away and rolled his eyes at him: "You don't know about Xu Xianren, either? We have never met him, but we have all heard of his name - —The attacks have been quite ruthless in the past few months. Many of the casual cultivators who offended him have disappeared, and no one has ever seen him alive.”
"My guess is that someone is living in seclusion somewhere. When he reaches a point where he can't go up, he goes out of the mountain to find some supplies and the like. There are many such people. They go up every ten or so I hear about it once every few decades.”
Li Wuxiang frowned: "It's strange. Most of the families who live in seclusion have a blessed place in the cave. They should not be short of supplies, so why would they come out to look for it?"
Lao Guo was stunned: "Really?"
Of course, Li Wuxiang didn't know if that was the case, so he nodded: "Yes. But listening to what you said, there shouldn't be anything good in the mountain, right? Then why did Xu Xianren ask everyone to find it?"
"I heard that Immortal Xu got some news, saying that there is a hard-to-find treasure on the mountain. It should still be there. But we people don't expect that kind of treasure. We can't keep it. Go up the mountain and have a look. , maybe some silver bowls, silver bottles, magic swords and magic bells What about something like that? Even if it breaks, you can still use it by repairing it yourself. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, Ranshan has been passed down for so many years. These things must have been used up and maintained. We have practiced a lot on our own!”
"Oh." Li Wuxiang sighed, "Then I'll go and see it."
At this time, Lao Deng stretched out his foot, and Lao Guo stumbled, and the two fell behind the horse.
"Where do you come from with all this nonsense? If you don't take action, you might meet someone before!"
"It's better not to do anything."
"What's wrong?"
"The more I talk to him, the colder I feel." Lao Guo frowned, "If you think about it carefully, don't you think something is wrong? Have you looked closer? The thin skin and tender meat——"
"Does it mean he's a baby?"
"Hiss... How did you live to this age? It means you are pampered! Didn't you hear? I asked him if his family lived in seclusion like that? They said, yes! I'm sure it's some nearby hermit that we don't know about. He came from the Xiu family... think about it again, he is really a young boy, how did he survive until now?"
Lao Deng also frowned and stared at him.
Lao Guo sighed: "Understood?"
"No, I think I really capsized in the gutter last night. If I had known you were such a coward, I would have gone behind the wall and done it." Lao Deng sneered, "Don't be jealous for a while, you are jealous I'm not polite to you either - I still have plenty of elixirs, go away and stay out of the way!"
