Chapter 40: The Sacred Mountain of Soldiers (Part II)
The gray-black sky was covered with an oppressive atmosphere, and the moon was obscured by clouds, but the night sky was still bright, as gray as the sky that was about to rain.
Li Yuanzhi stood in front of the window, looking at the clouds in the distance in a daze: "Is the weak reasonable?"
Hua Rongyue stood nervously behind him, and he didn't even light the lights in the house, because Li Yuanzhi's state at this time was different from usual, and it was a state that Hua Rongyue had never seen before. Around Li Yuanzhi, there were countless tiny black air currents like silk threads surging, tactful, elegant and swift—that was demonic energy.
Wisps of demonic energy continued to seep out from Li Yuanzhi's body, turning into tiny tentacles, like small snakes exploring the world, but these tentacles were too dense, almost surrounding Li Yuanzhi into a round black sphere, the tentacles continued to extend, down from the window, along the window lattice and windowsill along the gap in the blue bricks downstream, and the house had already become a black cocoon, if someone opened the door from the outside, they would only see pitch black, and the scene inside the house was not obvious. Li Yuanzhi's eyes also flashed with countless purple lights, and the purple lines were like wild horses that had escaped from the brisle, wandering and shuttling in Li Yuanzhi's pupils. Li Yuanzhi's gaze was still looking out the window, as if the black lines could not block his gaze. His gaze was always focused on the west, which was the direction of the Hundred Saints Mountain!
Li Yuanzhi's dantian was chaotic at this time, and there were constantly black and white air currents gushing out, converging, merging, turning purple, then separating, converging again, and so on, the white air flow finally disappeared into the cells of Li Yuanzhi's body, and the black air flow turned into a small snake swimming out of the body along the pores.
"Why can a person execute someone at will without arguing right and wrong, just because everyone thinks he is wrong?" Li Yuanzhi was puzzled that the little steward and the prime minister did not collect evidence, and there was no law to directly announce Fengyuan's death sentence.
"Why can't we treat each other as equals? Why do cultivators treat mortals as ants, everyone can trample on them, but they can ignore the lives of mortals? Even other mortals take this for granted, and even Fengyuan doesn't have the courage to resist?" Li Yuanzhi thought of Jiang Yunian's disregard for life and the inaction of the onlookers.
"Why do people feel pitiful, so they abuse their sympathy, stand on the moral high ground, and sentence others to death with a clear conscience?" Li Yuanzhi thought of the crowd of onlookers demanding that Feng Yuan be executed because of the cry of the mother and son, because it is a big deal for people to die? But everyone should be responsible for their own lives, responsible for what they have done, when he stood on the track of the Linggu car, he had already hung his life and death on the ghost gate, Feng Yuan was at fault, but he should never take full responsibility for this mistake!
"Why do you listen to a person who ignores them, even charges them with wanton crimes, and harms them at will, and dare not disobey them in the slightest, but turns a blind eye and sneers at a person who helps them?" Li Yuanzhi still couldn't figure out why they would rather listen to the words of a little steward who didn't care about their thoughts and harmed them at will, and treated themselves as a joke.
"Do they think they're luckier than the mother and son or stronger than Toyohara? Is it because it didn't happen to them?Or can casually criticizing others bring you a sense of superiority?" Li Yuanzhi remembered the faces of the onlookers, and it was difficult to let go.
As Li Yuanzhi asked questions one after another, the lotus flowers in Li Yuanzhi's sea swayed left and right with every word of Li Yuanzhi, slowly growing quietly, and even vaguely saw that the fourth lotus branch was about to appear. Li Yuanzhi has gone through three interrogations, and this is the fourth time he has entered the demon. The first time was in the boulder in Little Stone Village, the second time was in the grove for the little white fox, and the third time was desperate with the Songhe faction. And this time there was no accident, he fell into the devil again.
In the room, the silence was terrible, and the ubiquitous black silk covered almost everything, the bed boards, the tabletop, the curtains, the walls, and even the roof were all crawled over, and there was only half a meter on the ground where Hua Rongyue was standing, these blacks seemed to have a spiritual wisdom to avoid Hua Rongyue, and the little black man yawned on Hua Rongyue's shoulder, he was used to Li Yuanzhi's enchantment. But Hua Rongyue was so nervous that she didn't dare to move, and even suppressed her breathing very slightly, for fear that it would affect Li Yuanzhi and make him completely fall into the devil's path. Hearing the sound of the little black man yawning in his ear, Hua Langyue turned her head and glared at the little black man, the little black rolled her eyes, changed her head, and went to sleep!
Just when Li Yuanzhi was enchanted, the black line around him had unconsciously spread farther away, and had already left the range of the inn. And in a quiet small courtyard, a fortune teller looked at the swarthy piece of palm and scolded: "Disaster star, disaster star." This old dog doesn't know what he's doing, is he really just letting it go?"
At night, it was still deserted, and because of the weather, the stalls were closed early, because the heavy rain was coming. However, the direction of the martial arts arena is still full of life, and no cultivator will be difficult to cast spells because of a little rain, and even for water spells, it will only be like a tiger, although this is a bit unfair to the cultivators of the fire system and other attributes, but the path of life has never been fair.
In the outer city of Hundred Saints, a sloppy dirty monk was eating wine and meat and preaching to a fifty-year-old man dressed as a rich gentleman, which was nothing more than Hugh's deeds as a rich and unkind deed, and his words to persuade people to be kind, but he was not looking in the direction of Li Yuanzhi's inn. When the rich gentry asked about his age, the monk shook the tattered fan and said, "Unspeakable, unspeakable." "I don't know if it's the rich gentry's unspeakable age, or Li Yuanzhi's behavior.
Just when Hua Rongyue didn't know what to do, and saw that the demonic qi around Li Yuanzhi was getting heavier and heavier, the old black man suddenly appeared in the house without warning, and even the void ripples did not appear. As soon as Wu appeared, the house was full of black gas towards him, but the old black man dispersed outward with a wave of his sleeves, and there was no trace of black gas within three meters.
"Squeak!" the little black man saw the old black man, and squeaked to say hello.
"How many times has this been?" asked the old black man with a solemn face, and he didn't look at the little black man.
"Squeak. Xiao Heizi responded, but he didn't need to communicate spiritually, this kind of beast language, Hua Langyue couldn't understand.
"Four times. The old black man was silent for a while, and then said, "You go to the next door to rest first, there is nothing for you here." After speaking, the old sunspot waved his sleeves, and Hua Langyue didn't have time to react, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in another room without the slightest black gas. Xiao Heizi had a big heart and fell asleep on the bed by himself. And Hua Rongyue sat at the table and had no intention of cultivating, let alone sleeping.
The old black man sat cross-legged in Li Yuanzhi's room and closed his eyes, but his mind never left Li Yuanzhi for a minute or a second. Li Yuanzhi has experienced a day and a night in the devil this time.
The next day was a rare pouring rain, and even the martial arts arena had a lot less crowds except for the contestants, and Sin Wu stood under a huge rainproof tent and scolded the thief, cutting off his financial route.
When the sky was not yet dawn, but Li Yuanzhi did not have the slightest intention of waking up from his heart, so Yuan Mingzi bit his right hand and wiped it on the black center where Li Yuanzhi was on the palm of his left hand.
It was at this time that Lao Heizi opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Yuan Mingzi, Lao Heizi's eyes were also filled with purple gas, but there were no purple lines in Li Yuanzhi's eyes, and they were not as obvious as Li Yuanzhi's purple. Lao Heizi took a deep look in Yuan Mingzi's direction, then glanced at Li Yuanzhi, closed his eyes again, and did not speak.
After a day and a night, Li Yuanzhi woke up, this time he benefited a lot from entering the demon, his physical body crossed the country to refine the muscles, entered the bone refining realm, and the lotus flower grew one section again, reaching the height of four sections. It can be said to be a qualitative leap, but Li Yuanzhi's spirit seems to be a little sluggish.
"Grandpa, I want to go out for a walk. Li Yuanzhi spoke in a hoarse voice. He naturally knew the arrival of the old sunspot, those black lines flowing out of his body were like an extension of his body, and everything that the black lines felt was truly fed back to Li Yuanzhi, and even Li Yuanzhi saw things that ordinary people could not see with the help of black lines, when the night came, the trees and flowers, the growth and foraging of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and even the sound of tree growth were real, when the heavy rain came, the earth that was originally a dead thing in the eyes of people actually had a very different reaction, but now Li Yuanzhi is not in the mood to explore.
"Go ahead. The old black man looked at the somewhat decadent Li Yuanzhi, and didn't know how he passed this hurdle. He can only support Li Yuanzhi's choice, and he is willing to support Li Yuanzhi's choice.
Li Yuanzhi went out alone, and in fact, the old black man followed not far behind him with Hua Langyue and Xiao Heizi, but even if Li Yuanzhi turned around, he couldn't see it.
After passing through the familiar streets, the road surface is still a little wet because it is raining, and many merchants and vendors have begun to pack up and prepare for business.
It was still a familiar place, there were only two big stones, and I didn't see Yan Dan and Yan Ling'er again this time.
Li Yuanzhi walked all the way out of Hundred Saints City, because the roads were muddy and there were few pedestrians, so Li Yuanzhi unfolded his body and suppressed the gravity talisman, like a Kunpeng spreading its wings, and like an agile cheetah shuttling forward in the mud.
Soon, Li Yuanzhi arrived at the foot of Baisheng Mountain, found the guards, and showed that he wanted to see Fengyuan. The guards went to report to the steward, and the steward immediately sent a message to Jiang Yunian to ask for advice on how to deal with it.
Jiang Yunian, who was still in the inn, pondered for a long time, and couldn't guess Li Yuanzhi's intentions after turning around the house a few times, so he could only order the housekeeper to secretly send Feng Yuan home, while dragging Li Yuanzhi, and wait for Feng Yuan to arrive home, and then tell Li Yuanzhi that Feng Yuan had already returned.
Li Yuanzhi waited at the foot of the mountain until the third pole of the sun before waiting for the steward to inform him, and Li Yuanzhi went to Fengyuan's house under the leadership of the guards. After going around and around, the guards took Li Yuanzhi to Fengyuan's house. Fengyuan's family is in a remote mountain village, although he has made a lot of money working in Baisheng Mountain, but it can be seen that Fengyuan has no intention of setting up his home in the bustling market, but has cleaned up the small yard in the mountains and wilderness very beautifully.
When Li Yuanzhi walked to the entrance of the village, he saw a four- or five-year-old child shouting happily in the yard, Daddy is back, Daddy is back. Li Yuanzhi knew that it should be Fengyuan's home.
When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, through the fence wall made of fences, I could see a woman holding an infant baby boiling medicine, and the pungent smell of medicine made the baby uneasy, struggling and crying.
Li Yuanzhi looked back at the guard, and the guard pretended not to know, but he couldn't resist Li Yuanzhi's eyes, so he turned around and left. But after a vague glance at the woman, the woman quickly withdrew her peeking eyes.
When the guards walked away, Li Yuanzhi asked the girl who was cheering for her father to come home in the courtyard through the fence wall: "When did your father come back?" ”
"Just now, someone said that my father would not come back. The girl sprang out with a quick mouth. It was too late for the woman to stop her.
The woman pretended to see Li Yuanzhi, walked to the door, and asked through the courtyard door made of wooden boards, "May I ask who you are looking for, little guest?"
"I'm looking for Toyohara. Li Yuanzhi responded politely.
"You are the little fairy who saved my husband's life. The woman pretended to be very happy, holding the child in her left hand, rubbing her right hand on her waist, and opened the courtyard door and said, "Fairy master, please come in, please come in." ”
As she spoke, the woman called the little girl who was over there to add firewood for her mother: "Quickly kowtow to your benefactor, it was this fairy master who saved your father's life." ”
"Thank you, Lord Fairy, for saving my father's life. Saying that, the girl was about to kowtow to Li Yuanzhi with the woman. Li Yuanzhi hurriedly pulled the woman to stand up.
Entering the house, Li Yuanzhi saw Feng Yuan lying on the bed, although he had changed into new clothes, there was still blood oozing out of his clothes, and there was still a little smell of blood in the air, even Chinese medicine could not cover it up.
Li Yuanzhi didn't speak, and Fengyuan struggled to get up, but was stopped by Li Yuanzhi.
Li Yuanzhi didn't know what Fengyuan had experienced in the past two nights and a day, but just now pulling Fengyuan's arm, Li Yuanzhi knew that one of Fengyuan's legs and one arm were useless.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, Li Yuanzhi originally had a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask, but looking at Fengyuan, who was lying on the bed and trying to suppress the pain, looked at himself with a smile, and suddenly didn't know how to speak. Li Yuanzhi didn't stay too long, took out the spare medicines he bought on the road, these were all bought when he was with Lin Jingyuan, and now they were all taken out and given to Fengyuan, and told Fengyuan how to use it, Li Yuanzhi said goodbye and left, and when Li Yuanzhi walked out of the door, he heard Fengyuan say loudly on the bed: "You are a good person!"
Li Yuanzhi didn't look back, he didn't know how much pain the big man Fengyuan had endured, but when he said this, tears flowed from his eyes.
Li Yuanzhi quietly gave the woman a few gold leaves, which were enough for their later lives. The woman clutched the gold leaf tightly and thanked her. Li Yuanzhi could see that the woman was sincere.
When Li Yuanzhi left, it was already dusk, facing the dazzling sunset, Li Yuanzhi seemed to see a man waving to him with a wooden cane outside the fence door in the distance.
