There are two gangsters in Yangzhou, one is called Kou Zhong and the other is Xu Ziling, the two have no ability, they only know petty theft all day long, cheating, and struggling to live.

But today, they inadvertently stole a treasure, which recorded the Taoist supreme "Recipe for Longevity".

It's just that they also have a big deal, Yuwen Valve Lord Yu Wenhua and seeing that the "Recipe of Eternal Life" was stolen, he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed and searched strictly, and as a last resort, the two of them could only drill the sewer and make a foul smell, so they escaped from the city.

Seven or eight miles away from Yangzhou City, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stripped naked, washed their clothes by the stream, and then hung them on the trees next to the stream, so that the afternoon sun could dry. The "Recipe for Longevity" is placed on a stone.

Then the two of them roared and swam in the stream to wash away the stench they had drunk when they had drilled through the culvert.

The two of them were finally teenagers, and when they went to this mountain and forest, they were so tired that it was difficult to walk, and they thought that they were far away from danger, and their mood improved.

When he was playing in the water, a coquettish hum came from the shore.

The two of them were taken aback and looked at the place where the voice had come from.

I saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat and white clothes like snow standing on the shore, looking at them coldly through the veil, and she didn't have any scruples because they were naked.

The two boys screamed, squatted down, and subconsciously reached out to cover their lower bodies.

Xu Ziling shouted: "Don't look at indecent things, eldest sister, please raise your eyes and spare us!" ”

Kou Zhong also shouted: "Take a look at the penny, the girl seems to have seen at least a hundred times, so she should be charged at five or six discounts, leave a hundred copper coins, and then she can leave." ”

A cold smile escaped from the corner of the woman's mouth, and she said softly: "The little ghost begs to fight." ”

Stretched out his jade hand like a spring onion, and casually flicked two fingers. "Bu Bu" twice, the two of them snorted miserably at the same time, fell into the stream, and then came out of the bottom of the water after a while, suffering enough.

At the same time, Ling Chi, who was floating lightly on a tree, saw this scene and pinched his chin: It's a bit like a snap of a finger, even if this Fu Junwu's strength is not the top blue, it is almost the same.

The Lingchi Sect Tutor Concubine Xuan has been for more than a month, during this time, everything on the island is stable, Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan, who have been sealed and placed life and death charms, are not demons, and they honestly stay in the transformed cave every day, yes, it is the cave where Zhou Botong was once imprisoned, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, standing on the top of the mountain from time to time and looking into the distance, just like two Wangfu stones.

They thought about running away, but they definitely couldn't run away, and even if they did, once the life and death talisman on their body attacked, they would only end up dying in pain.

When the life and death talisman first attacked, they still wanted to charge a handful of hard bones, and they endured it for a minute without screaming, but it was over here, and after that, they couldn't bear the pain and itch of the life and death talisman at all. They gave up the dignity of the Great Grandmaster and the belief of the Great Grandmaster, and at that time they only had two thoughts, either begging for mercy or dying.

In the end, they chose to beg for mercy, and after Ling Chi relieved their symptoms, their spirit as a great grandmaster also dissipated. When I came to Peach Blossom Island, I didn't have the idea of fighting to the death, as long as I could survive. What's more, in addition to restricting the area where they can move, Ling Chi provides good food and drink every day, and does not let them work, the small day is much more comfortable than before, and even a little fatter.

It seems good if they can do this for the rest of their lives, but as the second of the three great masters, they never believe that they can live this kind of happy life like pigs forever, because after pigs are fattened, they will only be killed and eaten for meat.

Their biggest concern was when Ling Chi would eat their meat?

The comfort of the present and the anxiety of the future weigh heavily on their minds. In comparison, Fu Junyu and Fu Junchang's small days are quite good.

As the newest waiter in the VIP area of Peach Blossom Island, the two girls received the words and deeds of three veterans, both of whom are smart people in ice and snow, and quickly learned how to serve VIPs, and gradually got used to it.

After getting used to it, they found that the days on Peach Blossom Island were very good, except for entertaining guests every day and serving dishes, there was not much work, and most of the time they were even resting, and during the break, a little Lori named Yin Xiaoji would always come over to 'brainwash' Fu Junyan.

Yes, in Fu Junyu's opinion, this Yin Xiaoji is brainwashing the little junior sister, and every time she comes, she will tell her junior sister what is fun and interesting on Peach Blossom Island, how good the people are here, and there are endless delicacies.

Although she does not deny that the food on Peach Blossom Island is indeed very ...... Well, it's very rich and delicious, which makes her want to stop, but this must be a conspiracy by the other party to disintegrate their will to resist after they want them to live a pampered life.

As time passed, she found that her will was really being dissolved, and she even felt that it was good to live like this for the rest of her life.

It's horrible! They must not be allowed to succeed in their plot.

But after coming to Peach Blossom Island for a month, she found that she had failed, she was completely conquered by everything here, she no longer thought about returning to Goguryeo, she just wanted to live on Peach Blossom Island for the rest of her life.

What's so good about going back to Goguryeo? In addition to practicing every day, you also have to face the risk of losing your country at any time, and life is never easy for a moment. But in Peach Blossom Island, she lives a relaxed life every day, she doesn't have to think about those troubles, there are different delicacies to eat every day, and the people here are really nice, which makes them feel like a big family.

For Fu Junyu and Fu Junchang, two orphans, how luxurious is it to be cared for like a family? But here, they got everything they wanted, and it was a happy life that they could not have dreamed of in the past ten years.

They don't want to lose, they can't lose!

But they lived a good life, and the two sisters were very worried and ashamed when they thought that the senior sister was still being ordered to assassinate Yang Guang in Dasui.

Ling ...... Brother Ling, can you bring our senior sister here? ”

Two days ago, Fu Junyu and Fu Junchang took the initiative to find Ling Chi and said such a sentence.

"We want our sister to live a happy life like us."

Hearing the words of the two girls, Ling Chi smiled: "Leave it to me!" ”

Two days later, Ling Chi found Fu Junwu outside Yangzhou City, and by the way, he also saw Shuanglong, who had just stolen the longevity formula.

Ling Chi didn't feel anything about Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, in the final analysis, it was just two waste firewood to get peerless magic skills, and then they counterattacked all the way, as long as their adventures were cut off from the source, the two of them would just be mud that couldn't support the wall in the end.

Two little ghosts who take the world as a child's play, and are likely to oppose their brothers-in-law, Ling Chi will not let them have a good time.

At this time, Fu Junwu, who was dressed in white, said lightly: "If this girl asks you, you have to answer honestly, otherwise you will have to teach these two little ghosts to suffer again." ”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling retreated to the other side of the shore at this time, and they didn't dare to climb ashore naked. There is no way to advance or retreat, and it is extremely hesitant.

Kou Zhong knows how to see the wind and sail best, and said with a smile: "Xiaosheng knows everything, and he has endless words, Miss, please ask boldly." ”

Fu Junwu saw that he was pretending to be pretending to be literary and indecent, and snorted coldly: "Ask you what kind of courage this little ghost has." ”

Xu Ziling was taken aback and said, "My brother has never known how to speak, so please say hello to the eldest lady." ”

Fu Jun Wumu was expressionless, and said as if he was still water: "Do you live nearby?" ”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling glanced at each other, then nodded one and shook their heads.

Pointing to the wind, the two of them were hit in the acupoint, their knees were weak, and they fell into the water again, and after a while, they struggled to stand up, embarrassed.

Fu Junwu said casually: "If I hear a lie again, you don't want to get up again." ”

The two of them were greatly frightened by Fu Junwu's ruthlessness, but they had already cultivated a hard bone under the oppression of the stinky boss.

Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Tuas, you misunderstood, I nodded because I do live in Yuejia Village near here, and he shook his head because he lives in the city, and today my brother is dedicated to playing with me outside the city, so I will give Tuas you a way to see our innocent body now." ”

Xu Ziling laughed when he heard this, and he was busy covering his mouth, for fear of angering this evil man.

Fu Junwu was unmoved at all, and said coldly: "If you are poor, I will hook out the root of your tongue." Why do you call me Tuas? ”

Xu Ziling was afraid that Kou Zhong would not choose what to say, so he hurriedly said: "He only respectfully called the eldest lady a monk because you looked like a white-clothed Guanyin monk, only respect, and no other meaning." ”

At this time, the scene is really weird, a cold and mysterious, mysterious woman, coldly facing two embarrassed and embarrassed boys who hide the fruit in the stream, if they are seen by others, they must not be able to guess the relationship between them.

Fu Junwu's gaze fell on the "Recipe for Longevity" on the stone on the shore, and said, "What is that?" ”

Kou Zhong did not miss the slightest thought, and said respectfully: "That is the book of sages that Old Master Bai ordered us to read, should you take it and take a look." ”

Without waiting for Fu Junwu to speak, Ling Chi jumped down from the tree: "Okay! Just let me see. ”

The sudden change made the three of them startled, especially Fu Junwu, who was even more shocked: When did this person appear? Why didn't I notice!?

Ling Chi glanced at Fu Junwu, who was covered with white veil, smiled slightly, and then walked to the stone on the shore and picked up the "Recipe for Longevity": "Yo! Isn't this Shi Long's "Recipe for Eternal Life"! How is it in the hands of you two imps? ”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were shocked, and Fu Junwu also exclaimed: ""The Secret of Eternal Life"!? Isn't it "The Secret of Eternal Life", one of the four wonder books of martial arts!? ”

"Yes." Ling Chi stuffed the book into his arms and said, "Three years ago, I saw this book in Shi Long's place, and now this book is in the hands of these two boys, huh?" Ling Chi looked at the two of them and smiled faintly: "Look at your anger, I think it's two thieves, this "Recipe for Longevity" should have been stolen by you unintentionally!" ”

Speaking of this, regardless of Shuanglong's pale face, he clapped his hands: "Ah! I know, Yu Wenhua and the order to close the city should be chasing the "Recipe of Eternal Life", you two escaped from the city! ”

Seeing that Ling Chi had all said it, Shuanglong was already colorless, and he knew that this time it would be bad.

Fu Junwu took in the reactions of the two, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "What a hateful two thieves!" How dare you lie to me. ”

There were two soft pops, and a blood hole appeared on each of the foreheads of the two dragons, and they didn't react or suffer any pain, so they died inexplicably.

Blood stained the creek red.

Ling Chi blew the second finger of his right hand and said, "Since I dare to lie to you, then kill it!" ”

Fu Junwu: "......"

Ling Chi's ruthlessness and decisiveness were beyond Fu Junwu's imagination, and at the same time, the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger, his right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword, and his eyes were cold: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm the owner of Peach Blossom Island." Ling Chi didn't hide it, and smiled slightly: "Not long ago, your master and sister were caught on Peach Blossom Island by me, and now I will send you." ”

"What!?" Fu Junwu was shocked and angry, and the long sword was unsheathed: "You dare to ......"

Poof-

Ling Chi pointed at the void, and it hit Fu Junwu's acupoint, and he couldn't move immediately.

"You...... Bastard! Let me go! Fu Junwu struggled fiercely and rushed frantically, but the gap between the levels was too huge, even if she used 200% of her ability to resist, it was just useless.

"Don't get excited, eat a big stick and calm down." Ling Chi stuffed a popsicle into Fu Junwu's mouth, and although she blocked her scolding, she didn't conquer it.

This is also a matter of course, after all, things like popsicles are just ordinary blue-level delicacies, and Fu Junwu should have reached the top blue figure, of course popsicles are useless.

"It's a pity." Ling Chi sighed: "Actually, I like to conquer people with big sticks. ”

With Ling Chi's sigh, the second elder Xuan Ming officially withdrew from the stage of history.

(Xuan Ming Er: "......")

Ling Chi fed Fu Junwu a blue top-notch recipe.

"Ding, conquer the stomach of the top blue diner Fu Junwu, the diner's level is too low, and it will not be counted in the number of conquests. Drops the top-tier blue recipe - Rakshasa. ”

"Rakshasa: Top Blue Recipe, Appearance +3, Murderous Heart +3, Effective Three Times."

Seeing the name and efficacy of this dish, Ling Chi chuckled: it was quite in line with Rakshasa's style.

Rakshasa, a demon who eats human flesh, is extremely ugly for men and very beautiful for women.

This Fu Junwu's style of acting is very ruthless, she never hesitates to kill, during the days of coming to Dasui, there are many people who have been killed by her, she has never shown mercy, this kind of woman became the leader of Shuanglong in the original work, and was recognized by Shuanglong as 'Niang', which is also dramatic enough.

But now that Shuanglong is dead, and Fu Junwu has also become a prisoner, Ling Chi feels that this trip is complete and can return to the island.

……

Just after nightfall, Ling Chi returned to Peach Blossom Island. However, in just one hour, Fu Junwu's outlook on life was completely subverted.

Do you know? She and Ling Chi actually flew back.

She didn't know what was going on, at that time, Ling Chi grabbed her waist with one arm, jumped hundreds of meters in the air, and then flew to Peach Blossom Island unimpeded.

It was so fast that her silky hair turned into a chicken nest. But being hundreds of meters in the air, overlooking the earth and the sea, is so vast and magnificent, which makes her worldview change dramatically.

When Ling Chi landed on Peach Blossom Island, he shouted to the room where the maids were resting: "Fu Junyu, Fu Junchang, I brought your senior sister here." ”

After a loud sound, two beautiful girls dressed as maids ran out of the room, and when they saw Fu Junwu in disheveled clothes and a disheveled hair, they shouted in surprise: "Senior sister!" ”

Fu Junwu looked at her two junior sisters, I don't know if it was an illusion, I always felt that their complexion was much more ruddy than before, and it seemed that they looked a little better than before.

"You ......"

"Senior sister, you're fine, great." Fu Junyan threw herself into her arms, and her tears couldn't stop flowing: "Woo, I'm so afraid that something will happen to my senior sister, I have been dreaming about my senior sister covered in blood these days." Thank goodness you're okay. ”

"......" Fu Junyu stroked Fu Junyu's hair and turned her head to look at Fu Junyu: "What the hell is going on?" Why do you look like this? What about Master? ”

"Master is in a cave in the northwest of Peach Blossom Island, and Wuzun Bi Xuan is also there." Fu Junyu said: "My wife and I, we are now the maids of Peach Blossom Island, responsible for entertaining the VIPs who come here to dine. ”

"What!?" Fu Junwu's outlook on life collapsed again.

Ling Chi patted her on the shoulder and said, "You senior sisters should have a good talk!" I'll go first. ”

"Thank you, young master." Fu Junyu and Fu Junyu hurriedly saluted, thanking him from the bottom of their hearts.

Ling Chi waved his hand: "Your senior sister is covered in dust, take her to wash!" By the way, let her feel the benefits of Peach Blossom Island. ”

"Hmm."

……

Fu Junwu soaked in the large bath, enjoyed the temperature of the pool water, and ate a small snack placed by the bath, which had never been so comfortable in her life.

"That's how it happened." Fu Junyu and Fu Junyu accompanied her to soak in hot water and explained the truth of the matter.

After listening to their stories, Fu Junwu's expression kept changing: "He easily captured you, and also defeated Master and Bi Xuan?" ”

"Hmm." Fu Junyu nodded: "In Goguryeo, when we found him, the master had already been defeated by him, at that time we thought that he had defeated the master by despicable means, and we were still very angry in our hearts, until we saw Bi Xuan easily defeated by him, we knew that his martial arts were surprisingly high, and he may have reached the realm of the Broken Void." ”

"Shattering the Void...... Can anyone really shatter the Void? Fu Junwu was skeptical about this, even a great grandmaster like her master couldn't feel the slightest possibility of shattering the void, she didn't believe that anyone could really break the void. But the strength that Ling Chi showed was too strong, and she had to doubt the possibility of shattering the void again.

"I don't know." Fu Junyu shook his head and said, "But if you ask him, you may be able to get the answer." ”

Fu Junwu was silent for a moment and said, "Do you know, I flew back with him. ”

"Ahh Fly? Fu Junyan exclaimed: "Senior sister, did you really fly back?" ”

Fu Junwu nodded: "I never dreamed that there are people in the world who can fly in the sky, and the speed is extremely fast, leaving Yangzhou in the afternoon, and arriving at Peach Blossom Island just after night." It was only an hour. ”

"Wow! The young master is really powerful. Fu Junchang's eyes are full of stars.

"......" saw that her little junior sister looked like a fan sister, and Fu Junwu wanted to speak and stopped.

Fu Junyu sighed: "Since there have been records, the things that can fly are nothing more than birds and immortals, he is not a bird, then ......"

"The young master must be an immortal." Fu Junchang said excitedly: "Otherwise, how could Master and Bi Xuan be easily defeated by the young master." ”

This fan-like logic makes people powerless to complain, but there is no evidence to refute it. What's more, they are all prisoners now, and only when Ling Chi is so strong that they can't resist that they won't have the heart to resist.

The human heart is like this, only if there is no hope, will not give birth to the heart of changing one's life against the sky.

The more mythical Ling Chi they are in their hearts, the more they can convince themselves: don't resist, just enjoy everything on Peach Blossom Island with peace of mind.

Originally, Ling Chi captured Fu Junyu, which was not enough to make her succumb, but flying in the air for an hour completely broke her psychological defense, and in the face of Fu Junyu and Fu Junyan's 'brainwashing', she was also a little resigned.

"Will I also become a maid on Peach Blossom Island in the future?" Fu Junwu smiled slightly bitterly.

"Senior sister, it's good to be a maid on Peach Blossom Island." Fu Junchang said: "I only need to pass the dishes every day, and serve the plates, which is very easy." And you can eat a lot of different food every day, and the people here are like family, they are very nice to us, and you will definitely enjoy your life here. ”

Fu Junwu: "......"

……

The next day, when Ling Chi was having breakfast, Fu Junwu, who had almost never slept all night, came over.

Seeing her with panda eyes, Ling Chi asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Fu Junwu looked at him and said calmly, "How do you arrange me?" ”

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "You are calm and decisive by nature, since this is the case, you will be responsible for the security work of Peach Blossom Island!" If a guest doesn't behave, you just teach them a lesson, don't beat people to death. ”

Fu Junwu was silent for a moment and said, "Can you let go of the family teacher?" ”

"Not yet." Ling Chi put down the dishes and chopsticks and said lightly: "It's still useful for me to catch them back, and when they are useless, I will naturally let them go back." After a pause, he sneered: "I just don't know how long they can live if they leave Peach Blossom Island?" ”

"......" Fu Junwu's breathing was a little short: "You ......"

"It's easy to kill them now." As soon as these words came out, Fu Junwu didn't dare to speak.

"Yuzhen!" Ling Chi screamed.

A charming girl dressed as a maid walked quickly: "What does the young master command?" ”

Ling Chi pointed at Fu Junwu and said, "She will be responsible for the security of Peach Blossom Island in the future, you take her to familiarize herself with the environment, and teach her the rules of Peach Blossom Island by the way." ”

"Yes." Yun Yuzhen bowed, looked at Fu Junwu, and giggled: "What a beautiful woman, the young master is really a blessing, I'm afraid that the beauties in the world have been collected by the young master to Peach Blossom Island!" ”

Ling Chi patted her and scolded with a smile: "I sold myself and boasted, and I didn't take her with me." ”

"Oops!" Yun Yuzhen's eyes flowed, and her voice was coquettish: "Young master, it hurts!" ”

Ling Chi raised his hand again.

Yun Yu really flashed, and grinned: "This sister, come with me!" He then twisted his waist and swung his hips and walked outside.

Fu Junwu glanced at her, sighed lightly, and followed resignedly.

Ling Chi picked up the dishes and chopsticks again and said, "Innocent, eat!" ”

"Hmm." The eldest grandson Wujian peeled the eggshell and asked, "Brother Ling, is she the senior sister of Jun Yu and Jun Yan?" ”

"Yes." Ling Chi took a bite of small pickles and said, "Her martial arts skills are quite high, and she can be regarded as a first-class master in the rivers and lakes." ”

"That's really powerful." The eldest grandson Wujian smiled: "And looking at her look, she should have accepted her fate." ”

"What if you don't accept your fate?" Ling Chi smiled and asked, "Her master and sister are here, and they eat and drink well every day, which is no better than eating kimchi all day long in Goguryeo." ”

The eldest grandson Wujian covered his mouth and chuckled, and said: "If it is only compared to the food of Peach Blossom Island, even the Great Sui Emperor is not much different from the poor people. ”

"You don't have to be so flattering." Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of which, I can be regarded as helping my brother-in-law solve a big trouble this time." ”

"Oh?" The bright eyes of the eldest grandson were full of curiosity.

I killed Ssangyong and helped my brother-in-law clear the biggest obstacle.

It's a pity that I can't say that.

"You don't have to know that." Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Just eat on time and practice on time every day, as long as you do as I say, I will ensure that you become a grandmaster." ”

Now the eldest grandson Wujian is cultivating the Cihang Sword Codex, anyway, Ling Chi is instructing the concubine Xuan, one sheep is also driving, and the two sheep are also released, so he simply let the eldest grandson Wujian also practice the Cihang Sword Codex, if he doesn't have time to explain to the eldest grandson Wujian, the concubine Xuan can also play the role of half a teacher.

Perfect.

As one of the four great books of martial arts, Cihang Sword Dictionary itself cultivates innate true qi, and Shi Fei Xuan and Wan Wan can become grandmaster-level masters, which has the most direct relationship with the exercises they practice.

Why Wang Chongyang has the ability to suppress the four peers and become the number one master in the world is related to the innate divine skills he cultivated. A contest between a person who cultivates innate true qi and a bunch of innate qi after cultivation, it would be strange if he couldn't win.

But this has a premise, that is, the world in which it is located has enough innate aura. Why Jin Yong's martial arts skills are not as good as Huang Yi's martial arts, in the final analysis, is actually the influence of the cultivation environment.

The aura of Huang Yi's martial arts world is sufficient, which provides the soil for creating innate exercises, and there are even many spirits, and in the end, they can shatter the void, which is several levels stronger than Jin Yong's martial arts.

And the aura of Jin Yong's martial arts world is not sufficient, which Ling Chi has discovered since he came to this world, so most of the exercises in Jin Yong's world are innocence after cultivation, and only Wang Chongyang, an outlier, has cultivated innate divine skills, and he died early, in addition to Wang Chongyang's secret injury, is it also related to his cultivation of innate divine skills, but the innate true qi of that world is insufficient, resulting in a backlash?

Therefore, the quality of the exercises is all in the environment. In this world with abundant aura, it is natural to cultivate innate exercises, and Cihang Sword Canon or Longevity Recipe are all good choices.

Ling Chi originally wanted the eldest grandson Wujian to learn the longevity formula, but he had no experience in cultivating the longevity formula, although the spells he was currently cultivating were born from the longevity formula, but after all, they were improved versions by Wang Chongyang, which was very different from the longevity formula.

After comprehensive consideration, he decided to let his eldest grandson Wujian practice the Cihang Sword Codex.

One is that he has experience in cultivation, and he has practiced to the realm of sword heart, so he can give the eldest grandson Wujian the most detailed guidance, and at the same time, the concubine Xuan is also here, and the two daughters may be able to learn from each other and confirm each other, which is beneficial to each other's entry.

Now that the eldest grandson Wujian has been cultivating the Cihang Sword Code for two months, with the help of various delicacies, the entry is very rapid, and he has reached the realm of the second stage of the Sword Lord Heaven and Earth, at this rate, when Li Shimin comes to pick her up next year, although the grandmaster level does not dare to guarantee it, there is absolutely no problem with the first-class master.

Li Shimin's road to the throne and governing the country is full of thorns, and he has been fighting almost all his life, not only with the outside, but also with his own brothers and sons, and it is very difficult to fight internal and external troubles.

Even in such a difficult environment, he still created the rule of Zhenguan, and for this alone, Li Shimin is worthy of the title of the first emperor of the ages.

It's just a pity that the eldest grandson is innocent, she died of illness in her thirties in history, if she can live healthily, at least she will not let her sons fight among themselves, maybe Li Chengqian will not be because of raising a rabbit, resulting in a loss of personal morality, and annoyed Li Shimin, and finally ended up in exile.

History cannot be changed, but the future that has not yet happened is in my hands.

Ling Chi wants to let the eldest grandson live a long and healthy life, and the Tang Dynasty, which is powerful all over the world and has a great tide in history, should be more brilliant.
