In the northwest of Liang country, there is a snow-capped, plum-scented mountain spiritual vein.

After years of cultivation, the spiritual vein grade of Xuemei Mountain has reached the second-order upper grade.

There are as many as three Zhuji monks in Xuemei Mountain, and they do not include the guest worship.

It was night, and the head of the family's study was decorated with lights.

"The forces of the six sects of the Demon Dao are pressing, and the sect has dispatched manpower to recruit monks from all over the country to go to the front line. Alas, this world has not been stable for a few years, and it will be chaotic again......"

After Li Congren finished reviewing several files, he sighed lightly with a worried face.

It has only been more than ten years since the end of the Jinyang Sect's northward migration war.

The steady and steady business development of Xuemeishan Lee's upward momentum has faced a bottleneck in recent years.

has not yet broken through the predicament, and will face the chaotic world of the invasion of the Demon Dao.

"Husband don't have to worry far away, the front line has not yet started a war, and it may not be able to fight in the short term. Moreover, the Liang Kingdom is located in the rear of the battlefield, and my Xuemei Mountain is located in the northern part of the Liang Kingdom......"

His wife, Wu Yue, with warm eyes, poured Li Congren a new cup of spiritual tea.

Wu Yue'e has an ordinary appearance, a slightly dark complexion, but she has a pair of bright eyes, like snowy teeth.

In the middle of the foundation building, he looks like he is about thirty years old.

Li Congren pondered: "The invasion of the Demon Dao has affected the rear, and Xuemei Mountain must strengthen its vigilance and defense to minimize the number of monks who go out alone. “

The sect has transferred a large number of manpower, resulting in a shortage of law enforcement monks in the rear.

The area near the border is already in chaos.

"What the husband said is very true, prices have risen sharply recently, and those hidden robberies have become active again."

"Once the situation becomes chaotic, we don't know if the 'Chang'an Mine' that we have worked hard to open up for many years can be held."

Speaking of this, Wu Yue'e had a sad face.

Her husband's worries are longer-term, and she is more concerned about the immediate predicament.

"Chang'an Mine can be followed. I really couldn't keep it, so I sold our share to the 'Dongmen family' cheaply. ”

Li Congren's face was unwilling, but he had to make a decision.

In the current predicament and the chaotic world, there will inevitably be trade-offs.

Li Congren's strategy is to give priority to protecting people, and the industry can be reluctantly parted.

If the Chang'an mine is firmly defended, casualties will inevitably occur, and even lead to the fall of the foundation building monks.

Coupled with the invasion of the Demon Dao, the sect followed up to forcibly recruit the monks of the major families, which made matters worse.

"Husband, if that news is true...... Perhaps, we don't have to be so jealous of the Dongmen family. ”

Wu Yue'e's bright eyes flashed with a hint of expectation.

The Dongmen family, now one of the top ten families of the Liang Kingdom, moved north with the Jinyang Sect to replace the original "Wanjian Zhuo Family".

A few decades ago, there were only four of the seven great families of the Liang Kingdom, and now only four of them remain, and the other six families are all from the Feng Kingdom.

The spiritual vein dojo of Liang State is not enough, and some sects and families in Feng Kingdom have transplanted spiritual veins.

There are also a considerable number of Jinyang Sect camp forces, who dislike the barrenness of the Liang State and have not migrated over.

Fortunately, the Zhou family of the Royal Beast took a slight care of the Li family of Xuemei Mountain, so that the latter could at least have a certain ability to maneuver in the face of the "Dongmen Family".

"That message...... It's not really determined yet. On the side of Liang Guo, some monks questioned its authenticity. ”

Li Congren groaned, not too optimistic.

Even if it is true, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and no one knows when his old man will return. Normal True Dan monks often have to consolidate for a few years and practice magic weapons before they go out on a long trip. ”

"Alas, the husband is right. With Grandpa Lu's style of acting, in less than ten or eight years, I am afraid that he will not travel far easily. ”

Wu Yue'e couldn't help but smile bitterly, dispelling unrealistic thoughts.

As for going to Jingguo for help?

Grandpa Lu didn't owe them anything.

In that year, through the Li family of Xuemei Mountain, he smuggled to Jingguo for refuge, and Lu Changan gave talismans and puppets, and the remuneration was quite rich.

And even let them take advantage.

Why is Grandpa Lu good character and well-known?

Because he never owes anything to others, he has some help and guidance to the old and younger generations.

……

Squeak squeak!

A crisp and rapid call of the spirit mouse came.

Li Congren hugged Wu Yue'e and was about to go back to the main room to rest, when he couldn't help but look out the door.

A pale golden treasure hunter with smooth hair rushed back from the outside.

The beautiful eyes like jewels, exuding panic, make people feel pity.

"Xiaojin, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Yue's face was puzzled, the treasure hunting rat cultivation was approaching the late second-order stage, with a keen sense of smell and a strong ability to save life.

In the surrounding area, there are very few creatures that threaten it.

For the first time in decades, such a state of panic has occurred.

About a dozen breaths.

The horror on the face of the treasure hunt rat became more and more obvious, and he hid between Li Congren and his wife.

Even so, there was no sense of security, and the body trembled.

Chirping~

Suddenly, a melodious and pleasant rat cry sounded in the room out of thin air.

Li Congren's and his wife's faces changed.

There is a powerful rat demon that lurks in the hinterland of Xuemei Mountain unknowingly.

You must know that Li Congren has been cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, and there is a forbidden formation in the clan land that touches the police.

It is impossible for a second-order peak demon beast to do this.

Airplanes!

The earthy yellow halo of the floor was raised, revealing a muscular and muscular rat demon.

The rat demon has orange hair all over its body, and there is a pinch of purple hair on its head, and its body is streamlined, looking like a leopard at first glance.

"Ground rats?"

"Grandpa Lu's spirit pet?"

Li Congren and his wife were slightly stunned, looked at each other, and couldn't help but express surprise and doubt.

Grandpa Lu's spirit mouse, how could it appear alone in the Li family of Xuemei Mountain?

In the space where the two were surprised.

The treasure hunt rat gave a crisp response that seemed to be a sad cry, and its beautiful eyes showed awe and flattery.

It was hugged by the ground rock rat and walked out the door step by step.

"Kim!"

Li Congren and his wife were a little worried, and the experience of Xiaojin being bullied by the ground rock rat back then is vivid.

Chirping!

The corners of the ground rock rat's mouth were cracked, and the maroon pupils looked at Li Congren and his wife, giving a "you can rest assured" look.

The brown red pupils froze for a moment.

Li Congren's heart throbbed, and an inexplicable chill spread from the soles of their feet all over their bodies.

Creak!

The treasure hunt rat nodded, forced a smile, and flatteringly followed the ground rock rat away, never looking back at his master.

"This rat demon ......"

Li Congren and his wife, fine sweat oozed from their foreheads, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

At that moment just now, the indescribable terrible pressure seemed to be just an illusion.

"Grandpa Lu's spiritual pet, which was cultivated to the peak of the second order thirty years ago, is now profound and unfathomable, and it is even more terrifying.

"Is it ......?"

Li Congren and his wife couldn't help but speculate in their hearts.

It stands to reason that the lifespan of the ground rat in the second order is similar to that of human foundations.

If you don't make diligent cultivation, you should now enter old age, and you can't be vigorous and energetic.

"Could it be that this ground rock rat has been promoted to a false pill?"

Thinking of the news about Lu Changan, if it is true, it is nothing if the ground rock rat becomes a fake Dan-level demon beast.

"The ground rock rat has arrived at Xuemei Mountain, and Grandpa Lu should be nearby?"

Li Congren and his wife looked happy and looked forward to it.

At night, the two went directly to the west gate of the clan land and waited.

The night was destined to be torment.

In the middle of the night, the expectant figure did not appear.

The abnormal behavior of Li Congren and his wife attracted the attention of some clansmen.

"Dad, mother, what distinguished guests have arrived in Xuemei Mountain, and you two need to wait in person late at night?"

A round-faced middle-aged man in the late stage of Qi refining said quite puzzled.

The person who came was Li Congren's eldest son, with ordinary qualifications, and was responsible for taking care of the clan treasury.

"Besides, how can there be a late night visit......"

"Don't ask!"

Li Congren stiffened his face and reprimanded.

……

To the northeast of Xuemei Mountain, there is a large, heavily guarded mountain villa, located in the deep mountain array, adjacent to the small branch of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

On the south side of the villa, there is also a medium-sized market.

The Zhou family of the Royal Beast is the absolute dominant force in this area.

When it's ugly, the night gets darker.

The Zhou family of the imperial beast, the cave house of the Taishang elder Zhou Qingxuan, in the classical and elegant "boudoir", is lit up with hazy and crystalline jewelry lights.

The high-ranking elder of the Zhou family, lying on his back on the gum at the moment, his face was shy, his temples were messy, and the goose yellow skirt, socks, and embroidered shoes were scattered on the side of the bed.

In the silk quilt, a smooth and delicate leg is exposed, and a touch of moist warm red is revealed in the whiteness.

"Qing Xuan, you really don't want to lift the Soul Gu ban in the Sea of Knowledge?"

After a long time, a gentle man's voice sounded on Elder Taishang's gum.

"If the Soul Gu ban is resolved, will my relationship become a thing of the past? If that's the case, Qing Xuan would rather be under Brother Lu's control forever. In this way, Brother Lu can also really trust Qing Xuan. ”

Zhou Qingxuan's jade body was horizontal, not an inch, lying in Lu Changan's arms, smiling.

Her face has hardly changed, her pretty eyes are smart, and her delicate and pure face can be broken. It's just that the body is slightly fuller than before, and the curves are like wonderful milky reliefs.

"You are the current Supreme Elder of the Zhou family, if you want to maintain your own nobility and majesty, how can you succumb to Lu and be a woman with no name."

Lu Changan smiled helplessly.

In his early years, because of the Hundred Soul Gu, he reached an agreement with Zhou Qingxuan.

At that time, Lu Chang'an's cultivation was limited, and he had scruples about the Zhou family of the beast.

If Zhou Qingxuan is killed, the clues are clear, and he will probably face wanted.

In order to save his life, Zhou Qingxuan made an oath of demons, and the prohibition of Gu worms in the sea was also controlled by Lu Changan.

During that time, Lu Changan and Zhou Qingxuan were almost a master-slave relationship.

Zhou Qingxuan took care of Lu Chang'an and posted a lot of resources.

As a result, the ground rock rat entered the Zhou family's blood spirit pool, and its bloodline was slightly improved.

In order to give the other party a glimmer of hope, Lu Changan once promised: If the knot is successful in the future, try to help Zhou Qingxuan lift the ban on Gu insects in the sea of knowledge.

That Gu worm prohibition is very clever.

Lu Changan learned the relevant principles from the purer memory fragments of the Soul Gu, and it was possible to resolve it at least after the Dan was formed.

Later, in Jing Kingdom, the ban planted for Xing Peng was part of the principle of the prohibition of Gu insects.

Now, Lu Changan has returned to the Liang Kingdom.

The first stop was supposed to be to go to the nearby Xuemei Mountain Li family.

But it's late at night, so it's not the right time to visit.

And the real relationship between Lu Changan and Zhou Qingxuan is not visible, and it is just right for late-night communication.

Lu Changan planned to go to the Li family in Xuemei Mountain after dawn.

Lu Changan is ready to try to resolve the Gu worm ban and determine the cause and effect with Zhou Qingxuan.

Unexpectedly, after this woman confirmed his True Dan cultivation, she actually temporarily repented and wanted to continue to maintain the original relationship.

"What Brother Lu meant by his words, is he planning to give Qing Xuan a name?"

Zhou Qingxuan's eyes were clear, her cherry lips were moist, and her resentful tone revealed a hint of expectation.

"Lu has more interest in breaking the ban on Gu worms."

Lu Changan got up and dressed, and said with a light smile.

"Brother Lu, even if you don't give Qing Xuan a name. When it comes to daytime, can you be a guest at the Royal Beast Zhou house openly. ”

Zhou Qingxuan smiled brightly, and her smooth and unclothed body hugged Lu Changan from behind and begged.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to the Li clan in Xuemei Mountain."

Lu Changan politely refused.

He didn't want to have too many entanglements with the Imperial Beast Zhou family.

Now one of the top ten families of the Liang Kingdom, it is not an ordinary immortal cultivation force.

Moreover, Zhou Qingxuan's daughter is cunning and changeable, if she is the first stop in Liang Kingdom, she will be a guest at Zhou's house, and it is easy to be made a fuss by this woman.

"Needless to say. Your Zhou family also has a third-order demon that has been inherited for many years, so why do you need Lu to come to support you. ”

Lu Changan waved his hand and refused Zhou Qingxuan's repeated soft begging.

Zhou Qingxuan was aggrieved, her eyes were misty, and she wanted to cry.

Lu Changan was unmoved, they were all people in their teens and decades, how could they be affected by such appearances.

"Brother Lu, since tomorrow doesn't belong to Qing Xuan. Then tonight's long night is long, and it's only halfway through, Qing Xuan will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. ”

Seeing that Lu Changan was leaving, Zhou Qingxuan pursed her cherry lips and jade teeth, gently pulled him, and went to the bathroom on the side to take a bath.

When the night passes.

Lu Changan and Zhou Qingxuan finished bathing and changing.

The former was dressed in a white caftan and the latter was dressed in a goose yellow dress, neatly and spotlessly.

"Zhou Daoyou, Lu asked again. Do you know the Gu worm ban in the sea, do you really plan to dissolve it? ”

"No, before Brother Lu went to Jing Kingdom, he had already told him how to stabilize the ban. Anyway, there is no worry about her life, Qing Xuan has long been used to it. ”

Zhou Qingxuan's pear vortex bloomed, and her voice was sweet.

"Okay."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Changan was no longer in the room.

Zhou Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned angry, and her chest rose and fell.

Tonight, Lu Chang'an will serve meticulously, mandarin ducks playing in the water, warm and soft words, everything.

As a result, this person was hard-hearted and stunned that he had no promises.

"Well, after this, at least I don't have to worry about my life."

Zhou Qingxuan sighed faintly in her heart.

She knew Lu Changan more deeply, and knew that the other party was by no means an ordinary True Dan monk.

Once made the boarding of the Hundred Soul Gu fail, and has the reputation of being an advanced age and a Dan, its heels must have a great background.

Zhou Qingxuan was worried that after the ban on Gu worms was lifted, there would only be a layer of demon oath left, and Lu Changan was not at ease with her.

Then, there will be the possibility of killing people and killing people.

……

Under the cover of night.

Lu Changan flew into Jiugangtian and soon left the territory of the Imperial Beast Zhou family.

"Gu worms are forbidden, and continuing to stay in this female knowledge sea is also a good result."

Lu Changan groaned.

First, leaving the Gu worm ban, one day in the future, it may be able to attract soul Gu.

Lu Chang'an's Nine Seal Monument is in great need of this kind of nourishment, and he is not afraid of giving up his body.

In this way, Zhou Qingxuan is a good bait.

Second, when Lu Changan was free to communicate, he could study Zhou Qingxuan's prohibition of Gu insects in the sea and improve his own unique prohibition.

Third, there is a ban on Gu worms, and Lu Changan is more at ease with Zhou Qingxuan.

In fact, even if Lu Changan has the ability to resolve the ban on Gu worms, he will have a back hand and will not solve it all at once.

At the very least, it has to be reshaped.

An hour later.

The outline of Xuemei Mountain, covered in silver, reflects Lu Chang'an's field of vision.

In front of the gate of the Li clan's land.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Congren looked tired and stood all night.

At this moment, the two sensed abnormal aura fluctuations and couldn't help but look up.

Facing the morning glow.

A big dark cyan turtle came through the sky by stepping on the waves.

On the wide back of the turtle, there was a man in white who was as warm as jade and unfazed.

"Grandpa Lu!"

Li Congren and Wu Yue'e were shocked, and greeted them with great joy.

"Meet Grandpa Lu!"

"Congratulations to Grandpa Lu, for achieving the power of Zhendan and returning to the land of Liang."

The husband and wife, with a group of descendants, stepped forward to salute.

Li Congren and his wife bowed and bowed, and a group of heirs behind them even knelt and bowed.

Li Congren is Lu Changan's grandchild.

It is not an exaggeration to call Lu Changan an an his ancestor.

"Wait for the courtesy!"

Lu Changan raised his hand with his sleeves and did not deliberately conceal the true pill mana.

He sat on the big turtle and said with a pleasant face:

"It's just a real pill, and it can't be the word power. On the road of cultivating immortals, we must pay attention to being down-to-earth, and do not be contaminated with such an exaggerated style. ”

"Follow the teachings of Grandpa Lu (real person)!"

The cultivators of the Li clan in Xuemei Mountain felt the mana aura of the real people like the abyss and the sea, and agreed in unison.

Li Congren's old face turned red, this powerful title was shouted by him in the lead.

It's not that he deliberately brags.

In the eyes of the middle and lower-class monks, Zhen Dan is the real person who has entered the ranks of high-level monks, and he has destroyed mountains and cities with his hands.

……

Accompanied by Li Congren and other Li clan cores, Lu Changan sat down at the top of the main hall.

Lu Changan briefly looked at Li Congren.

Thirty years have passed, Li Congren has cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, and he is over middle age.

The contours of his face have a slight shadow of Li Ergou's youth, but his appearance is clearer.

After talking, Lu Changan had some understanding of the situation of the Li family in Xuemei Mountain.

The Li clan of Xuemei Mountain, there are three foundation-building monks in this clan.

In addition to Li Congren and his wife, there is also a nephew of Li Congren, who was promoted to the foundation building period more than ten years ago.

In addition, there is also an enshrinement in the later stage of foundation building, who is a life-and-death friend with Li Congren. The one who is enshrined is still the brother of Li Congren's wife Wu Yue'e.

"Why don't you see those two foundation monks?"

Lu Changan asked casually.

"Back to Grandpa Lu, the two of them are guarding the 'Chang'an Mine'."

Li Congren replied.

"Chang'an Mine?" Lu Changan couldn't help but glance at the two.

Li Congren said embarrassedly: "Chang'an Mine is the place where we excavated and opened up the veins ten years ago. There are a lot of first- and second-order raw ores stored in it, but they are unevenly distributed, and it is difficult to mine......"

Wu Yue'e looked respectful and added on the side:

"In the early days of mining in Chang'an, it attracted the prying eyes of some surrounding forces. In order to make the mine safely mined, we named it 'Chang'an', which means long-term peace. ”

"In addition, we sold thirty percent of our share to the 'Imperial Beast Zhou Family' at a low price, and obtained the protection of the Zhou family to resist the covetousness of the 'Dongmen Family'."

"The Dongmen family, but a family from the Feng Kingdom?"

Although Lu Changan has not returned for a long time, he has a general understanding of the situation in Liang State.

Today's Liang Kingdom, compared with thirty years ago when he left, can be described as a vicissitudes of life, changing the world.

The Lihuo Palace, which ruled the Liang Kingdom, was destroyed, and the Jinyang Sect took over and controlled this realm of cultivating immortals.

The top-down immortal cultivation forces of the Liang State have undergone a major blood change.

It turned out that the four major sects outside the Yuanying power have become the six major sects.

The seven great families have become the ten great families.

Many of the immortal cities, markets, and large and small families distributed throughout the Liang Kingdom have changed hands.

At the same time, Liang Guo's cultivation of the immortal realm has also migrated or strengthened a lot of spiritual veins and places, and the overall strength has risen significantly.

Lu Changan returned to this homeland, familiar and unfamiliar.

The geography has basically not changed, but I have heard too many unfamiliar forces and characters.

"That's right, the Dongmen family migrated from the Feng Kingdom, and the family has three fake Dan real people in charge, and more than a dozen foundation building monks. And there are clansmen who are core disciples of the Jinyang Sect, or hold positions......"

Li Congren's tone was cautious and introduced the situation of the Dongmen family.

After hearing this, Lu Changan suddenly understood.

The Demon Dao is invading, and a war on a larger scale is coming.

The price of war readiness materials has risen sharply.

The Chang'an mine controlled by the Li family in Xuemei Mountain has increased its profits several times, and it is naturally a hot potato.

Even if there is the Zhou family of the Imperial Beast to take care of it, the Dongmen family will not give up this piece of fat easily.

……

At noon, the Li family of Xuemei Mountain held a banquet to entertain Lu Chang'an.

The Li family tried its best to use precious ingredients to satisfy the first Zhendan guest of the Li family in Xuemei Mountain.

Lu Changan plans to stay overnight in Xuemei Mountain for a day and go to Jinyun Valley tomorrow.

This kind of performance, although it didn't do anything, was an invisible deterrent to the hostile forces of the Li clan in Xuemei Mountain.

Li Congren, the head of the family, accompanied him throughout the whole process, allowing Lu Changan to learn a lot of information about the deceased.

For example, Li Erqing, who is still in good health, fulfills his lifelong commitment to be loyal to the Mu family and guards Feiyue Lake.

According to Li Congren, his grandfather, Li Erqing, has only been to Xuemei Mountain twice in decades.

In the afternoon.

Lu Changan watched the scenery on the snow-capped mountain in the Li clan's land, and finally saw the ground rock rat.

Ground rats and treasure hunt rats, snuggled up to the edge of the snowy woods, basking in the sun.

The ground rat has a comfortable face, refreshed energy, and bright hair.

The beautiful treasure hunting rat was sluggish, his qi and blood were empty, and the bags under his eyes were faintly blue.

It's just that I haven't seen it for one night, and the treasure hunt rat seems to be haggard and has lost a lot of weight.

Only a quarter of an hour's rest.

The ground rat then hugged the treasure hunt rat and led him into the woods.

"Squeak ......"

The treasure hunt rat has a weak voice and is quickly isolated.

Li Congren, as the owner of the treasure hunting mouse, his eyelids fluttered, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

He has many children, but there is only one treasure hunting mouse.

Over the years, the Treasure Hunt Rat has provided a lot of help to facilitate family development and personal practice.

Lu Changan was about to open his mouth and let the ground rock rat restrain it.

Suddenly, in the southeast direction of Xuemei Mountain, a True Dan-level aura shuttled in.
