Li Ji was secretly scolding, the lights in the house suddenly went out, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and the demon wind outside the window blew in gusts, making a roaring sound, and a chill slowly enveloped the entire room.

"Bang ......"

The sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway, getting closer and closer, the door suddenly opened, and a hand could be vaguely felt in the darkness reaching for Li Ji.

Li Ji was startled, his face was pale, his hair stood upside down, his hands and feet struggled to roll desperately into the bed, his mouth was whining, and he said something he couldn't understand, which probably meant: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"Poof!" I saw that the light was on, and the girl in brocade and grosgrain suddenly appeared in front of Li Ji, smiling back and forth, and the flower branches trembled, "Aren't you very bold......?

The slender white hand stretched out towards Li Ji's face again, and this time he couldn't avoid it, not because he didn't want to avoid it, but as if there was a breath that locked him, he couldn't move at all.

Li Ji didn't understand what she was going to do, and held her breath uncontrollably and nervously, her eyes widening in horror to an incredible degree!

The girl in brocade gently held up Li Ji's chin, narrowed her eyes slightly, moved her small and cute nose, approached him and sniffed it from top to bottom, then frowned, and said with a little disgust: "I don't know where the wild boy came from, this smell is so bad that this girl can't stand it." ”

Li Ji, who was being teased, was flushed at the moment, and he couldn't tell whether he was shy or angry.

He opened his eyes wide and gasped slightly, and if he didn't breathe, he would definitely suffocate to death.

Li Ji saw that the girl in brocade was acting more and more presumptuously, and his mouth was whining, and he motioned to remove the rag from his mouth.

"It's okay to take off your rag, but you can't scream, and if you can't, I'll put the rag back in. ”

Li Ji looked at the serious eyes of the girl in brocade and nodded.

The brocade-clothed girl hesitated for a moment and then removed the rag, Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief, "Bah, bah!" He took a few sips on the ground, and the rag came from nowhere, making him want to vomit.

He was about to look up and yell at her, but he saw her dark eyes glaring at her, waiting for him with a rag in her hand.

Li Ji's heart trembled, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth, and said, "You crazy girl, why did you tie me up here, what is your intention?"

The girl in brocade replied with a smile and said, "Hehe, do you think it's not good here?"

Li Ji disagreed, sneered and said: "No matter how good it is, it is not my place to live, I don't admire vanity, fame and fortune, I don't have the five aggregates and three worlds, I am alone, the four seas are my home, and I am used to being at peace with what happens." ”

The girl in brocade was slightly stunned and said, "I didn't expect you to have this realm, I underestimated you." ”

Li Ji was too lazy to respond to her, and thought in his heart: "The matter entrusted by Zen Master Huiben is very urgent, you must hand over the envelope to General Xiao Yan with your own hands, it is a matter of military affairs, and the safety of the people, how can you stay here!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly struggled to stand up from the edge of the bed, and said, "Crazy girl, I still have important things to do, if there is nothing to do, please let me go, let's leave it at that!"

As he spoke, he was about to stride out, when he suddenly fell to the ground with a bang.

In a hurry, he forgot that his hands and feet were still tied, this fall was not light, his face was on the ground, he fell down heavily, and ate a mouthful of dust, Li Ji snorted, and said angrily: "It's really hateful, quickly untie the rope!"

The brocade-clothed girl sneered: "You are young, what can you do?"

Li Ji saw that she was quite unreasonable, and he was even more angry, and said: "Let me tell you, you don't understand, besides, you are not older than me, I guess you are still a little child, and the girl is ......."

The girl in brocade had never been counted down in person like this, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "Stinky boy, you, you are too underestimated! When I first met you, I knew that you were sharp and sharp, and you always had too many things in your head, and you didn't like to go off the beaten path, and you had a lot of ghost ideas, and you liked to steal and play tricks." I know I can't say anything about you, but if you promise to do something for me, I'll let you go, how about it?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment and laughed: "Tsk, it's the first time I've heard someone say that I have a flexible brain, it's really a new thing! What is it? As long as it doesn't violate the morality of the rivers and lakes, I will naturally help you." ”

"Don't worry, it will never violate the morality of the rivers and lakes! Then we will make up our minds!" The girl smiled and took Li Ji's hand and clapped her hands gently, "You all swear by this in the rivers and lakes, right?"

"Of course, palms touch, high-fives sound, the words said are not false, and they are loud. What's more, I am a manly man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and I will never break my promise. ”

"That's good, of course! What you promise, you should keep your word. The girl in brocade showed joy on her face, paused, and suddenly her eyes were slightly red, and Chu Chu said, "Since this is the case, I don't have to hide it from you, so I opened my chest and told you from my heart." ”

Li Ji saw that her beautiful eyes were a little sad, and hugged his fists and said, "I want to hear about it!"

"My family has a little foundation, but my father likes the new and hates the old, and successively marries concubines and reproduces many heirs, so there are more brothers and sisters, and the family is quite harmonious, but when these brothers and sisters grow up, they have their own scheming, fighting openly and secretly, seeing that I am orphaned and widowed, powerless, weak and bullied, more and more arrogant and domineering, never put us in our eyes,-for-tat, and embarrassed everywhere. That's why I'm asking you to do me a favor, because there's no one around me I can trust. ”

"Joke, I've never seen someone ask for help, it's like this. Li Ji hooked his mouth and sneered, but a trace of sympathy flashed in his heart, according to this girl's words, it seemed that she was just going to help her with a family chore.

When the brocade-clothed girl heard this, she swung her sword to cut the rope on Li Ji's body, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, because there are many eyes and ears in the family, and there are many dangers, I have wronged you temporarily." ”

As soon as the rope was untied, Li Ji breathed a long sigh of relief, relieved, and said, "Say, what do you need me to do?"

"It's not time to say it explicitly, but rest in the house for a few days, and I'll tell you when the time comes, but don't run around so as not to cause more trouble. ”

"What? How many more days?"

"Yes, although you have enough spirits these days, I will arrange for someone to prepare more high-quality wine and food for you, and you can stay in peace. ”

After the brocade-clothed girl finished speaking, she smiled, and her figure disappeared at the door.

"You ......"

Before he finished speaking, the door was closed, and Li Ji looked at the empty room, and a strange feeling flooded his heart.

After a while, a man in a high hat and a wide robe knocked on the door and entered, carrying an ivory carved food box and bringing food.

Li Ji saw that the man in the top hat had carefully arranged the dishes, so he bowed and retreated.

I saw that on the big round table, there were twelve dishes, three soups and a pot of wine, the food was exquisitely made, and it was delicious, and it was really a first-class delicacy.

There are lion's head, roasted pork ribs, yellow stewed chicken, chicken breast, and some delicacies from the mountains and seas, abalone and sea cucumber, bird's nest cordyceps, etc., which are much more sumptuous than the meals in Kamikazein, and it makes people's mouths water.

"I fled all the way last night, and was forcibly kidnapped by this crazy girl, so far for a day and a night, not a drop of water, at this time I am already hungry, I don't care about anything else, I will fill my stomach first. ”

The so-called "people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic".

Li Ji was not polite, after sitting down, he feasted, there was no one around, but there was no restraint.

After a while, he put down his chopsticks when he was full of wine and food, and after a comfortable burp, most of his physical strength was restored, Li Ji touched his belly, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the room very leisurely.

"It's still early, why not wander around!"

So he pushed open the door and was about to walk out, when two guards stopped him.

"This girl's film, probably not at ease, I expect that I will say goodbye, so I send someone to watch it strictly, it's really hateful!"

Li Ji wanted to go out but couldn't get out, so he had to turn back to the house and slam the door shut.

"Staying here is like being locked in a prison, a long night, how can you spend it, it's better to practice the sword for a while and kill some time!"

After reading it, he took out the Chixiao Sword and practiced the Dugu Divine Sword in the room, and after a while, he was already sweating profusely.

After a short pause halfway, he took a sip of tea, wiped his sweat, and looked at the flickering sword of the Chixiao Sword blankly, then remembered the scene of the old man Dugu teaching the sword, and secretly sighed that this set of swordsmanship he created himself, he can walk alone in the martial arts, and he has rarely resisted so far, which is indeed extraordinary.

"My qualifications are mediocre, it is difficult to understand the profound meaning of swordsmanship, and the old man Dugu has been learning swordsmanship for several months, and swordsmanship has not improved, I am afraid that such exquisite swordsmanship will be destroyed in my own hands. ”

Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't help but sigh secretly, blamed himself deeply, and re-sorted out the Dugu swordsmanship: "This set of swordsmanship is superb, the essence is not something that can be comprehended overnight, and those who are impatient and impatient will not be able to understand it, only the purest and most kind people can comprehend the mystery and give full play to the power."

Dugu swordsmanship and Shenlong swordsmanship are completely different, they are based on offense and defense, and the moves hit the key points, which can be described as superb. If an impetuous person cultivates this sword, he will definitely be arrogant in his martial arts, and he will never recover, so that he will destroy himself.

It seems that I still have to put in a lot of effort to cultivate spiritual power, so that my heart can be calm, I can think about changes in silence, and have an epiphany, so that I can enter the way of refining and refining qi, open the door of cultivating immortals and cultivating the Tao, and even refining qi and transforming gods, practicing gods and returning to emptiness, and finally refining the supreme heart method such as the way of combining voids. ”

So, Li Ji got rid of distracting thoughts, sat on the bed and meditated on practicing Shennong's internal martial arts, and faintly felt that some meridians or dantian in his body had a feeling of fever and electric numbness.

After a while, there was an energy qi in the body that gathered in the dantian, circulating along the two veins of Ren and Du for a week.

Li Ji knew that this was what his senior sister called "Xiao Zhoutian", which was the first level of Taoist cultivation, also known as "refining and refining qi". At this point in cultivation, every time a practitioner practices quietly, he can generally feel the fever and weight of the lower dantian, and then there is the flow of qi and the two pulses.

The difference is that when Li Ji was practicing quietly, every time he passed through an acupoint in the meridians, a faint trace of spiritual energy would seep in, and there would often be a wave of backlash energy in the meridians.

In the past, the time he spent running each small week was several times that of ordinary people, and it was even more so to pay spiritual energy, but as each time his true qi continued to condense, he felt that his meridians were getting wider and wider, and the rotation of his true qi was getting faster and faster, and the time it took was getting shorter and shorter.

When Xiao Zhou Tian finished walking, Li Ji slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that his whole body was full of heart, and the meridians, muscles and bones of his body were indescribably comfortable.
