Following Li Yunlong east and west, in the southern district, where the mortal area was the closest, a lonely courtyard was located.

It's too close to the mortal area, there are only a few scattered families nearby, and those who can afford it live in the inner city, and no matter how bad they are, they will lean on the inner city, and there are some orphans, widows, and disabled people next to the mortal area like this.

Before coming in, Zhang Xiaohu looked carefully, the courtyard was not very big, but the entire courtyard was shrouded in a faint ball of light, which was very strange.

"This is for protection, without the permission of the master, outsiders can't enter, even if it is a Jindan monk, it will take a quarter of an hour to break it"

Li Yunlong explained, "This is connected to the entire Xialiang City, and it is only possible to buy a house, and it is safe to buy it."

took out a piece of jade talisman and shook it on the door, and the ball of light cracked on both sides, just in time to appear out of the door.

"Okay, come in," Li Yunlong pushed open the door and beckoned Zhang Xiaohu.

"Xiang'er, Xiang'er" As soon as he entered the house, Li Yunlong shouted.

A round little face disappeared in front of the window, and then a burst of broken footsteps sounded, and with the shout of "brother", the little girl ran out happily and threw herself into Li Yunlong's arms.

"Brother, why have you been there for so long, Xiang'er wants you to die" hugged Li Yunlong's waist tightly, and tears flowed down his eyes.

Li Yunlong has been going for a long time, and he usually comes back in three or four days, but this time he went for seven or eight days, how could he not be worried.

Rubbing Xiang'er's head, he took out the jade box from the storage bag, "Look, what did I buy for you?"

The best thing to do at this point is to divert the topic.

Xiang'er looked up with teary eyes, "What?"

"The best elixir" Li Yunlong opened the jade box, and a stream of medicinal incense came out.

Staring at the pill in front of her with big eyes, Xiang'er looked at the pill in front of her, and the pill pattern on the elixir showed the extraordinaryness of the pill.

Xiang'er rubbed her eyes vigorously, how is this possible, it turns out that even if you can't afford to open the elixir, how to go out on a trip to the best have appeared, fake, it must be my brother who coaxed me to be happy and lied to me, but this medicine Xiangdan pattern can't be fake.

Xiang'er looked up at her brother, waiting for Li Yunlong to explain.

"Hehe, of course my brother doesn't have this ability, this is the credit of this brother" Li Yunlong opened his body after speaking, revealing Zhang Xiaohu who was following behind.

What entered Xiang'er's eyes was a big burly man, dressed in tattered animal skins, looking at herself and grinning.

Startled at first, Xiang'er hid in Li Yunlong's arms again, thought about it and slowly stretched out her head to look at Zhang Xiaohu carefully.

"This is Brother Xiaohu, don't be afraid, my brother's life was saved by Brother Xiaohu" Li Yunlong comforted Xiang'er.

It's no wonder that Xiang'er, how can a cultivator have such a tall and burly figure, and besides, wearing animal skins, those who don't know think they are savages.

"Little Tiger Brother," Xiang'er shouted softly.

Zhang Xiaohu laughed, wanting to reach out and touch Xiang'er's head, but he was a little embarrassed halfway through.

Li Yunlong put the jade box in his arms, "Xiang'er, go make a pot of tea"

There is a large tree planted in one corner of the courtyard, and several stone benches and tables are placed under the tree.

Sitting on the stone bench, Zhang Xiaohu looked around, the environment of this courtyard is much better than at home, not to mention, the air is very light, and I feel it as soon as I come in.

"This is the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array, the aura in the courtyard is twice as strong as the outside, of course you will feel that your breathing is more comfortable than outside."

After a while, Xiang'er came over with a tea tray and brewed it carefully.

Tea at home is a big bowl to drink, this cup of small tea, Zhang Xiaohu drank it in one sip, smacked a few times, "Well, it tastes good, but the cup is too small"

Xiang'er pursed her lips and smiled, her big eyes narrowed into a slit, it was the first time she had seen tea like this.

Li Yunlong coughed dryly, "Brother, this tea is not drunk like this"

"Then what else?" Zhang Xiaohu was strange, is this tea still exquisite?

"Forget it, whatever you want" After thinking about it, Li Yunlong didn't bother to explain, Zhang Xiaohu didn't understand anything, it was too laborious to explain.

"Brother Xiaohu, you want to drink tea like this" Xiang'er pursed her lips and demonstrated to Zhang Xiaohu.

The teacup placed in the palm of his hand can drink more than a dozen cups in one sip, and he has to take small sips, forget it, I won't drink it, Zhang Xiaohu thought to himself, just put the cup down, asked Xiang'er for a big bowl, poured a bowl of cold water and drank it, it was still this free.

Li Yunlong told Xiang'er about the experience along the way, and Xiang'er was tightly tugging on the corner of her clothes, staring at her big eyes and motionless, and when she talked about capturing a large number of poison sacs, she was very happy, and when the Scorpion King came on the field, Xiang'er's little face turned white with fright, although she knew that the two of them came back safely, but those who had seen the Scorpion King for so many years had not come back, and they were all jumping cautiously, moving over and hugging Li Yunlong tightly.

"Brother, don't take such risks in the future, don't leave Xiang'er, go to Xiang'er together" Xiang'er cried, she was afraid when she heard it, but she came back fortunately.

"Don't be afraid, when Xiang'er cultivates, the three of us will go out hunting together in the future, haha, invincible" With Zhang Xiaohu on the side, Li Yunlong has the bottom in his heart, and Shahai will be the world of the three of them in the future.

Open the storage bag and take out the scorpion meat, one or two hundred pieces of scorpion meat, piled up a hill, some have been sun-dried, some have not, all need to be made slowly, before they can be put away and eaten slowly.

Seeing so much scorpion meat, the little girl became happy again, and she was busy bouncing around.

"Why didn't you see your uncle and aunt?" Zhang Xiaohu asked unintentionally.

The courtyard was quiet, and Xiang'er, who was busy, stopped and sobbed silently.

Li Yunlong held the teacup in his hand tightly, and said half-loudly, "My father and mother have passed away a long time ago."

"Ah, I'm sorry, the festival mourns smoothly," Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly said.

"It's okay, it's been a few years," Li Yunlong forced a smile.

"I see that your brothers and sisters are not very old, could it be that something happened?" Zhang Xiaohu thought about it and said the question in his heart.

Li Yunlong has a ninth-level Qi practice, and his father and mother have at least built a foundation, unless they encounter a demon beast of the level of the Scorpion King, there shouldn't be any problems.

After being silent for a long time, Li Yunlong said in a low voice, "My father and mother were plotted by someone, they didn't die at the time, and they struggled to escape, but they were still too seriously injured, and they both passed away not long after."

"Who's plotting?" Zhang Xiaohu stood up with a snort.

Ma Shan, the son of Ma Jun, the city lord of Xialiang City, is a monk in the early stage of foundation building, doing nothing every day, and taking two monks in the later stage of foundation building to cause trouble everywhere, but there is a father who is the city lord behind him, and no one dares to resist.

Tired of playing in the city, Mashan went out of the city and began to play outside the city, the outside is so big, I haven't heard any news about Mashan for a long time, and after not causing trouble in the city, everyone thought that Mashan had changed his ways, until one day Li Yunlong's father and mother met them.

That day, the two of them happened to find a spirit grass in the mountains, which was just a few spirit stones, but it was a lot of income for Li Yunlong's parents.

The two of them have not put away the spirit grass, they were found by passing by Ma Shan, first pretending that this spirit grass was discovered earlier by Ma Shan, coercing the two to hand over the spirit grass, forced to helpless, the two can only hand over the spirit grass, thought that there will be nothing to do with the spirit grass, and then knew that the two foundation building monks who followed Ma Shan suddenly made a sneak attack, and the two people who were also in the later stage of building the foundation were seriously injured, and finally Ma Shan also personally took action to abolish the dantian of the two.

After the few people in Mashan swaggered away, Li Yunlong's father and mother woke up leisurely, and it was also a good fate, they didn't encounter demon beasts along the way, so they picked up a life and escaped back.

Back at home, Li Yunlong's father and mother told Li Yunlong the truth, but he also repeatedly asked Li Yunlong not to act rashly, Li Yunlong had only practiced the sixth layer of qi at that time, and he was far from being the opponent of the foundation building monk, and there was a sister who was a few years old at home.

In the past few years, Li Yunlong grew up with his sister with hatred, and at the beginning, Li Yunlong didn't even have a way to make money, so he could only sell his family's house close to the inner city, and came to live in this place close to the mortal area, relying on these price differences to survive, and cultivated all the way to the ninth layer.

Even if he cultivated to the ninth layer, Li Yunlong didn't dare to go anywhere else, so he could only go to the sand sea, because the sand sea was too hot, and Mashan never went there.

In the past few years, I have secretly inquired and learned that every year, many monks have not come back after entering the mountain, and many of them may be the hands of Ma Shan.

Like Li Yunlong's father, he just grabbed the spirit grass, and he didn't grab the storage bag he carried, which shows that Ma Shan robbed the spirit grass just for fun and not for property.

I heard that there was also an escape from the poisonous hands, and the family with a little background went to the city lord's mansion to ask for justice, but it didn't take long for the whole family to disappear without a trace, and over time, no one dared to go to the city lord's mansion, so they could only avoid Mashan as much as possible, and those who couldn't hide could only accept their fate.

Zhang Xiaohu was angry when he heard this, and he smashed the stone table with a heavy punch.

"Did you just let him go?" Zhang Xiaohu was indignant.

Li Yunlong clenched his fists tightly, "No, I swore in front of my father's grave that sooner or later I want him to pay for his blood debts."

Zhang Xiaohu patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder, "Okay, remember to call me when the time comes."

Xiang'er silently cleaned up the scorpion meat, she was still young when her father and mother died, and now she vaguely doesn't remember what she looks like, but this Mashan figure has always been in her heart, but like Li Yunlong, she knows that she has no way to take revenge now, so she can only remember it silently.
