Chapter 102: Return to Fang City
Li Tongya attended the funeral, changed into a white robe, counted the days, and it was also the time for the opening of Mochizuki Lakefang City, so he collected the monster skins and many materials he had hunted in these days, and went north.
I rode the wind in the reeds for a few laps, and I wanted to wait for time to pinch the trick to pick a wisp of clear air in the river, but I saw a dry yellow and the riverbed was dry and cracked, so I had to come out empty-handed.
"After a few months of drought, the river network has dried up, and the reeds have all withered and yellowed.
Out of the reeds, Li Tongya drove the wind to Mochizuki Lake, the waterline of Mochizuki Lake retreated for hundreds of miles, the fish carcasses everywhere were crawling with maggots, and many small islands appeared on the lake.
Li Tongya flicked his sleeves with a blow, and the hidden formation in the air was touched, emitting bursts of silver light.
Now it was no longer what it used to be, but he just swept his spiritual sense and found the big boat on the lake, and took a few steps into the air and fell on it.
"Your Excellency! But go to Mochizuki Kobo City? ”
A young man hurriedly ran out of the cabin below, but the three-layer Zhou Xinglun cultivator asked diligently.
"Not bad."
Li Tongya answered the call and sat down, and saw the young man come up with tea, but he didn't see the figure of the white-haired old man back then, and asked:
"I remember that more than ten years ago, the person who drove this ship was still a white-haired old man, and now he has changed people."
The young man suddenly came to his senses, put down the tea bowl in his hand gently, and replied in a loud voice:
"The predecessors didn't know, the old man failed to break through the practice of qi, he died ten years ago, and there was no spiritual skill in the family, the eldest son replaced the spiritual objects with a field, and returned to his hometown to become a rich man."
Li Tongya froze for a moment, gently picked up the tea bowl, and did not drink the tea out of caution, so he had to put it down again, and said with some regret:
"It's a pity."
"Huh."
The young man lowered his eyes and hurriedly replied:
"The predecessors don't know, the old man lived for one hundred and eight years, and lived until he died, and we all envy his good luck!"
"Oh?"
When the young man saw that Li Tongya's appearance was only in his thirties, he had cultivated qi refining, and he was wearing a storage bag and a gas bottle around his waist, so he knew that this person was a child of a big family, so he had to smile bitterly:
"The predecessors don't know, our scattered cultivation inheritance is simple, and most of them use the first-grade fetal breath breath method, and it takes more than ten years to touch the corners of the condensing wheel, and it is normal to be trapped in the fetal breath for a lifetime."
"I see."
The young man has been working on the lake for more than ten years, and most of the qi refining cultivators he saw were high up and disdainful of speaking, but Li Tongya looked focused and nodded frequently, but for a while he opened the floodgates of the young man's words, and hurriedly continued:
"The predecessors are extremely talented, and they became qi refining at a young age, unlike these loose cultivators, who often hold a book of fetal breath exercises for a lifetime, and want to draw a talisman to refine a pill but have no inheritance, it is really miserable!"
Hearing this, Li Tongya suddenly remembered the "Taiyin Tu Na Yang Wheel Sutra" at home, and secretly said in his heart:
"I'm afraid this trick can't tie the entire Mochizuki Lake family together! Looking at this cultivation speed, it is at least more than ten times that of ordinary exercises, not to mention that the mana refined is pure and condensed, far superior to others. ”
Pretending to be inadvertent, Li Tongya smiled and sighed:
"I don't know that the disciple of that great sect is practicing a few grades of fetal breath technique!"
The young man nodded heavily, and said with a smile:
"The villain has been on this lake for more than ten years, and he has seen a twenty-year-old disciple of the Great Sect practicing qi, but he has also seen a ninety-year-old man with a first-layer fetal breath, and I have only heard that the fetal breath exercise method of the Qingchi Sect is superior to all sects, and it is a five-grade method, which is four times faster than the ordinary exercise!"
"It's amazing!"
Li Tongya was amazed, quietly changed the topic, talked about it, and talked with the man about the mountains.
"I heard that the mountains in the west are very fierce!"
"Not really!"
The young man nodded again and again, and said teasingly:
"The villain heard that the Shanyue King's cultivation has reached the peak of Qi cultivation! The families who killed the Jacking Men on the west bank lost their armor, and the masters of the families who practiced qi were all broken by three, and the losses were countless. ”
Li Tongya was listening, and saw a few more people on the boat, and the young man had to reluctantly confess and leave, Li Tongya thought to himself:
"Jia Nixi is still powerful, it's better to die soon, so that I won't be restless when I sleep."
Li Tongya listened to a few people chatting for a while, and then felt that the big ship was shocked, and Mochizuki Hufang City had arrived in front of him.
After getting off the boat and walking a few steps, Li Tongya mortgaged a piece of spirit stone and rented a stall, put a lot of materials on it, and then threw away a few talismans obtained from the killing, took out a wooden tablet, and simply looked at the magic trick in the stall.
He has also studied the rune for more than ten years, and the rune he drew can reach the standard of ten pieces of one, which can barely be worth the cost of the rune paper, and if he adds the rune ink, it is still a loss, so he has to continue to practice, hoping to earn the money of this rune one day.
After thinking about it carefully, he looked down at the storage bag and two gas cylinders on his waist, Li Tongya probably guessed how the boatman knew that he was a child of the family, so he took an inch of spiritual cloth and wrapped it in the gas cylinder, and stuffed it into his arms.
This time, Li Tongya came early, the flow of people was quite large, and the things were almost sold out in an hour, and he was too lazy to wait for the remaining one or two, so he collected the stall and retrieved the spirit stone, and paid the rent of ten catties of spirit rice.
"I've sold eleven spirit stones, which is not bad."
After spending five spirit stones to buy the Jade Bud Pill, plus one obtained from the cave, Li Tongya thought that in a few months, he would be able to try to break through the fourth layer of Qi training.
"Although this jade bud pill is good, erysipelas should not be underestimated, and we have to wait for a few more months until the erysipelas in the body is naturally eliminated, and then take it."
Li Tongya had only walked a few steps, and then he saw a middle-aged female cultivator walking in front of him, who was cultivating in a five-layer jade jinglun, who looked about the same age as Li Tongya, but arched her hands respectfully.
"Senior! Do you remember me? ”
Li Tongya felt that this person was familiar for a while, but he couldn't remember this person's name, so he had to give up his hand in embarrassment:
"Your Excellency......"
"Guanyun Fengfang City, Qingwu Bow."
The middle-aged female cultivator smiled and said, Li Tongya suddenly realized that he had bought a green black bow for Li Xiangping in the Fang Market at the foot of Guanyun Peak, which was paid for the offering, and he bought it from this person, who was still a girl at that time, and now he is over middle age.
"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, are you okay?"
Li Tongya wondered why this person stopped him, and he still greeted him with greetings on his face.
The middle-aged female cultivator's expression was a little complicated, and she said in a low voice:
"But for more than ten years, the seniors have already practiced qi......"
"It's just luck."
Li Tongya snorted, and then saw the woman correcting her color and said:
"The concubine is Lin Jingyi, and the husband is Xu Yangping, a qi cultivator."
"Li Tongya."
Li Tongya bowed his head and saw Lin Jingyi say in a low voice:
"I have a cave ruin in my hand, can my predecessor be interested?"
"Dongfu?"
Li Tongya squinted slightly, and said secretly:
"How can there be such a good thing! I can't wait for Pingshui to meet, I don't have any friendship, where can I entrust it, this person is not here to kill me......"
"Oh? Such a good thing? ”
Li Tongya laughed, and Lin Jingyi knew that he didn't believe it, so he hurriedly whispered:
"We have already explored, it is the cave of a foundation building monk from at least two hundred years ago, we have the means to enter that cave mansion, but there is one less Qi cultivator......
Li Tongya laughed and asked rhetorically:
"Isn't it a group of Fetal Breath Realm monks who can't break the Cave Mansion formation, let me take the lead."
Yan looked at her quietly, ready to walk away.
"Not really."
Lin Jingyi lowered his head and smiled awkwardly, and replied:
"I already have two Qi practitioners, but we are still one point away from entering this cave mansion."
As soon as these words came out, Li Tongya believed a little, and was willing to sit down and talk with Lin Jingyi, the two of them found a bamboo building, ordered a cup of tea, and listened to Lin Jingyi:
"My husband and I were originally active in the area of the mushroom forest, a few years ago, the Golden Gate was bored, the place was unpopulated, and the market was not opened, but fortunately, the husband and the gentleman cultivated the qi, and I went west to this Moon Lake to see."
"Who knew that when I arrived in the west, I encountered a great drought in Mochizuki Lake, retreating for hundreds of miles, but exposing a cave in the lake.
"That cave has been in operation for hundreds of years, and there are some gaps, so we discovered it, and I waited for the place to cast a concealment spell and came to find someone's hand."
"Huh."
Li Tongya nodded noncommittally and said in a low voice:
"Why did you come to me?"
"Because Your Excellency cultivates shallow......"
Lin Jingyi smiled awkwardly and explained:
"My husband is only at the second level of Qi training, and the person I found a few days ago is only at the third level of Qi training, and I am afraid of all kinds of dangers, and I hope to find someone who is similar in cultivation......"
"I see."
Li Tongya took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"Is your husband outside the door?"
Li Tongya had already found that there was a person waiting outside the door, and at this time, Lin Jingyi also nodded, raised his head and called, the person outside the door entered the door and hugged his fists:
"In Xia Xu Yangping, I have seen Brother Tongya!"
Li Tongya saw that this person's face was quite upright, and he looked like he was in his fifties, and he also arched his hand:
"You're welcome."
Xu Yangping nodded again and again, and said with a smile:
"I've been waiting for dozens of days, if Brother Tongya doesn't show up again, I'll have to grit my teeth and look for the surrounding families."
Lin Jingyi took over the conversation and explained:
"Those families' mountain gate formations are tightly covered, who knows that there are a few Qi practitioners inside, and they will never want to go unless they are there."
Li Tongya also didn't talk nonsense with these two people again, and said in a deep voice:
"Xuanjing Spirit Oath."
Xu Yangping nodded, pinched the magic trick and repeated Lin Jingyi's previous words, and said in a low voice:
"Everything is true, Xuanjing is an oath!"
Li Tongya listened carefully on the side, there was indeed nothing missing, and seeing that Xu Yangping's majestic body had not declined, he believed it for seven points and replied:
"When to go?"
"Now!"
The couple was already excited, Lin Jingyi forced himself to be patient, and said to Li Tongya:
"Please also ask Daoist friends to make an oath not to make a move to us, although the Xuanjing Spirit Oath is mostly used for secrecy and falsification, and it is not binding on it, but with this oath, we can be considered at ease."
"Yes."
Li Tongya made an oath, and Xu Yangping rode the wind, seeing that this person's true yuan was slightly mottled, he knew that this Xu Yangping swallowed miscellaneous qi to practice qi, and he was a little more relieved.
However, when the couple saw that Li Tongya's true yuan was mellow and long, and the true yuan of the body protection was clear and bright, they immediately looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Lijing Town.
Chen Erniu is seventy years old, with gray hair, and has lived two lives as an ordinary farmer in the mountains.
Sitting in the chair, Chen Erniu was restless, the dry weather made him have nightmares every night, always thinking of the big finch that fell from the sky.
"Hey."
When Lichuankou took it back, Chen Erniu went to look for Chen Sanshui, but found nothing except a tooth and a pool of blood, and the people of Lichuankou said that Chen Sanshui was captured by Shanyue and caught to the west.
Chen Erniu smiled coldly, sneered, followed the horse's hooves and looked around in the grass on the side of the road, and finally found a pool of blood, the old man picked up the grass and looked down, and cried.
The eldest son Chen Sanshui died miserably, the old man guarded his soul for him, and several children under Chen Sanshui's knees were busy dealing with the dry weather, and they were not as diligent as him.
"Winter River doesn't know if he can come back......"
Chen Erniu frowned, his gray hair was thinning, but he heard the noise outside the courtyard, a large group of people screaming, and the cries and screams made him tremble.
He moved to the head of the village on crutches, where there were already a number of people waiting, and a group of embarrassed, mud-faced men were sitting on their knees, surrounded by low cries.
"I'm back."
Chen Erniu straightened his waist hard, and finally saw Li Xuanxuan and Chen Donghe in front of him, Li Xuanxuan had grown a shallow beard, and was staring at the Shanyue man in front of him with an unbelievable expression.
"You...... Say it again?! ”
"It's a curse... I didn't even bring back the body......"
Li Xuanxuan was stunned for two breaths, and tears flowed out like a broken embankment, flowing down his face and down his neck.
"Winter River... Go up the mountain with me, and the rest of us will go home first." ”
Li Xuanxuan covered his face and was silent for a long time, squeezing out a sentence from his throat, Chen Donghe in front of him was full of tears, and the crowd silently parted ways, watching them go away.
"Head of ......"
Chen Donghe called Li Xuanxuan in a low voice, waking him up from the heavy blow, Li Xuanxuan looked at the green black bow in his hand, and couldn't stop his tears.
"Call me the young master ......"
Li Xuanxuan wiped his tears and choked up, stepped on the stone road, and clutched his bow tightly.
The two silently bowed their heads and walked for a while, and met Li Xuanfeng, who had just come out of the customs and hurriedly descended the mountain, Li Xuanfeng just bowed his head and froze the green black bow in Li Xuanxuan's hand.
"How is that possible!"
Li Xuanfeng's eyes widened, his eyes quickly moistened, and he viciously snatched the bow and arrow, and shouted:
"Who is it?"
Chen Donghe felt even more suffocated when he saw the Li family brothers, and choked up:
"It's Shanyue's curse."
Li Xuanfeng opened his mouth, couldn't spit out a word, looked at Li Xuanxuan, who was full of tears, and sat on the bluestone on the side blankly.
"What a low means."
Li Xuanfeng gritted his teeth and burst into tears.
