"Sect Master Li has a good eye and is contemptuous and admired."

Si Ming said approvingly, or there was anxiety in his heart, and when he spoke, Si Ming's expression was obviously a little uncertain, as if he was a little ...... Enmity.

In front of a monk whose realm cultivation is higher than his own, his realm cultivation cannot be hidden.

Except for means such as convergence and breathing, even if there is no convergence breath, in the Fa cultivation, unless you explain it yourself, the other party will never be able to see how many rules you have.

This Li Changyuan gave Si Ming a shock, why can a cultivator in the Xuan Realm see through his own details, and even know how many Dao methods he has?

On the other hand, Li Changyuan looked indifferent.

Even if you know......

"However, I also ask Sect Master Li to keep it a secret for the contemptible people."

Si Ming suggested.

Li Changyuan responded:

"Well, okay, no problem."

The martial arts arena was very lively, it was obviously approaching late at night, and a large area of land under the mountains and rocks of the Illusory Heaven Sword Sect had become scorched ruins, but on the rocks, thousands of people were cheering and celebrating lively.

The disciples of the Star Dao Sect and the disciples of the Illusory Sky Sword Sect quickly got together, all of them hooking their shoulders and backs, so lively.

After a period of time, many disciples of the Illusory Sky Sword Sect came back from elsewhere, bringing with them a lot of purchased goods.

There are wine, raw meat, and all kinds of strange dry food, or those uncommon folk drinks, etc.

"Woohoo! You're finally back! ”

"Hehe, how's it going, we're moving fast, right?"

"yes, let's see, what have you bought?"

"Eh, don't worry, take your time, I still have a lot of eggs in my storage bag."

"Eggs? What eggs? ”

The disciples gathered around lively, and the group of disciples led by Ryohei had not yet come, and they were still collecting broken wood from the main hall at this time.

A moment later, a disciple who had gone out to buy came back, and when he came back, he directly handed over his storage bag to those disciples of his own sect who were beside the bonfire in the Odai Field, and he turned around and went to the Great Elder's side.

Ryohei asked in surprise:

"Don't go over there and play with them, why are you here, don't be so diligent, tonight is a festive day, go and enjoy it, there are enough people here, I don't need you for the time being."

The disciple interrupted:

"No, Grand Elder, ...... out there It's a little strange over there. ”

"Strange?"

The inner disciple took a few steps closer and wanted to whisper, but Ryohei also took the initiative to lean over.

The disciple whispered close to Ryohei's ear:

"Over there, I just came back from there, and I found that there was no one there."

"I guess I went to sleep with the lights out."

"No, Great Elder, how can I go to buy food without asking them first, of course, I have knocked on the door from door to door, but there was no movement at first, there were several houses in a row, and the doors were all locked from the outside. Disciple, I thought it was strange,...... I pried open a house and went in to see it, and it was all neat inside, and there was no sign of being robbed, but, well, ......"

"No one in the whole city?"

The disciple replied:

"Yes, I then pried into several houses, but I didn't find anyone, and the houses were empty."

As he spoke, another inner disciple who had gone out returned, and after handing over the storage bag, he also ran towards Liangping from the side of the main hall:

"Great Elder!"

Ryohei felt that something was wrong, and asked in advance:

"You're back from Birch City too?"

The second disciple responded:

"No, I went to Houjiucheng to purchase supplies, and I just came back."

"Oh......, what's the matter?"

The disciple hesitated for a moment, then replied with a solemn expression:

“…… There was no one in Hou Jiucheng. ”

“……”

Ryohei felt that something was wrong, at this time, the people of both cities were empty? The people in the two cities, to say the least, are more than 2,000 people, oh no, Houjiu City is notoriously poor, even if there are only five or six hundred people, huh......

When did this become two empty cities?

Liangping pondered for a moment and then asked the two disciples:

"When you arrived, everything in the house was clean?"

The disciple replied:

"Well, yes, there is no dust on the tables and chairs, there are several of them, and the stoves in the house are still hot."

In other words, the people in the city disappeared for less than a day. ’

The disciple next to him who had just returned from Hou Jiucheng also added:

"Great Elder, the situation is the same over there in Hou Jiucheng, the environment in every house is still clean and tidy, and there is no dust."

Ryohei thought about it and muttered:

"It seems that ......, something happened over there, could it be that the movement caused by our sect master's forging Dao Heart frightened those ordinary people and made them abandon the city in a panic?"

The two disciples echoed:

"Well, it's possible."

Ryohei sighed and said with relief:

"Okay, you guys go play first, don't worry about him. Oh yes, do you pay people when you take things? ”

The two disciples said in unison:

"Yes, put the spirit stone."

"Well, it's okay, let's go over there and have fun."

After greeting the two disciples away, disciples returned one after another, and most of the disciples who returned from Huacheng and Houjiu City came to the Great Elder to report the abnormal situation in the two cities.

Liangping said that it was okay and didn't need to pay attention to it, but in fact, he was still a little stunned in his heart.

My instincts tell me that this situation is absolutely not normal......

The light on the side of the pavilion was dim, and when he looked at the pavilion from the side of the martial arts arena, it was a black linen, and he couldn't see it clearly, nor could he see where the sect masters Li Changyuan and Si Ming were.

Therefore, the returning disciples found that the situation outside was not right, so they all looked around, and when they didn't find the sect master, they all went to the Great Elder Liangping to report.

Ryohei heard the same news no less than twenty times, and was a little irritable.

"Great Elder!"

"What's the matter?"

"Something isn't right out there."

Ryohei was very interested, lowered his head and turned his back to clean up the broken wood, and responded in a casual tone:

"It's Huacheng and Houjiucheng again? I know, needless to say, let's go to Odaiba and rest. ”

The disciple was very puzzled, grabbed the back of his head and said:

"Huacheng...... Waiting for the Nine Cities? No, Great Elder, I'm coming back from Wolong City. ”

Ryohei was startled, turned around and asked with wide eyes:

"Huh? It can't be that even Wolong City is an empty city, right? ”

The disciple was even more puzzled by Ryohei's performance, bewildered and frowned:

"Great Elder, over there in Wolong City...... There are people, and there are many city guards guarding them, so how can you say that there is no one? ”

"Oh......, ahem, what are you going to say, what's wrong?"

The disciple responded:

"Disciple, I just came back from Wolong City, and I found that the city seems to be gathering troops, there are many more troops than usual, and there is a reward on the notice board outside the city."

"What, haven't those bounties from two years ago been withdrawn?"

"No, those bounties are new, and they seem to have only been posted for a short time."

Ryohei asked curiously:

"Oh? What's new on the Emperor's side? ”

In fact, the people of the Illusory Sky Sword Sect all knew that the bounty lists posted outside Wolong City two years ago were actually just because the disciples of the Star Dao Sect had just arrived and did not understand human feelings, and the wicked people who were not kind to each other wherever they went on the Qiu Jin Continent, such as bandits, robbers, and so on, the disciples of the Star Dao Sect all saw one and killed one by one.

That's why some 'fake good people' reported to the imperial court, and made an oolong joke about the reward of 'being able to defeat the Heavenly Realm monk/strong man above the Heavenly Realm' two years ago.

Not to mention, there were really a few fools who unveiled the list at that time and found the disciples of the Star Dao Sect, but they were taught a lesson by the disciples of the Star Dao Sect, and all the money on their bodies was stripped away.

Pure should be a lesson.

What's the fuss this time?

"Great Elder, those bounty slips outside the city say ......"

"Huh?"

The disciple hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Recruit righteous people from the rivers and lakes, pay to recruit extraterritorial demon beasts, and reward them according to the number of heads."

"Tsk, hiss......"

When Liangping heard this, he was even more uneasy.

But I can't make up my mind, so I can only wave my hand:

"You don't have to worry about this, let's go to Odaiba and rest first."

"Yes, I'll retire the Great Elder first."

"Hmm."

Soon after, the wine and meat were ready, and the place on the martial arts arena became the venue for the dinner, and the two became friends, and the friendship was solid from tonight. After a while, the protagonist finally walked over from the pavilion with the sect master of the Star Dao Sect.

"Sect Master!"

"Sect Master!"

The sect master of the Star Dao Sect was more polite, listening to the respectfulness of the disciples, but he let Li Changyuan sit first.

Si Ming didn't sit down next to Li Changyuan, but after laughing, he silently went to another opposite position from the bonfire and sat next to Leng Zikuan.

Zhang Wenliang didn't know what he had just done, and waited for a while before he came back.

After coming back, he walked straight to Li Changyuan and sat down.

"What are you busy with?"

Li Changyuan asked Zhang Wenliang that the environment here is relatively relaxed, and there are no outsiders, even in front of his disciples, Li Changyuan and Zhang Wenliang treat each other like friends, and there is no excessive courtesy.

Zhang Wenliang exhaled lightly, and after sitting down, he received the wine sent by the disciples of the Phantom Heaven Sword Sect, and there was a lot of raw meat roasting around the bonfire, not only the red fire, but also the smell of some cumin barbecue spices, which permeated the entire platform.

"It's nothing, it's just looking at the scenery in the back mountain."

Zhang Wenliang replied.

Li Changyuan wanted to ask something, but he didn't think about it for a while, and forgot it......

Zhang Wenliang borrowed two dishes and handed them to Li Changyuan:

"Then, I'll fill it for you."

"Oh, don't get drunk tonight?"

Zhang Wenliang joked with a smile:

"Oh? Sect Master Li has no spare room here, why must he not get drunk and not return home, and can't sleep well here in your sect? ”

"Hahahaha, I said the wrong thing, cough, you can sleep if you want, the bed in my room is quite big."

The current Li Changyuan no longer sleeps in the room over there like the disciples of the sect.

Li Changyuan's room is in the main hall of the sect, which is his cheap father's bedroom in the past, the bed is still quite large, and the space is spacious enough.

Zhang Wenliang filled a bowl, but he directly buckled the mouth of the wine jar and raised it:

"Drink."

"Huh?"

Li Changyuan was surprised, why was Zhang Wenliang so unruly, and he drank directly from the jar?

didn't wait for Li Changyuan to ask, I saw Zhang Wenliang directly raise his head and drink tons and tons,

What a quick one!

"Well...... okay, let's drink."

After all, Li Changyuan also finished a bowl directly.

After drinking, he lightly bumped Zhang Wenliang's side leg:

"Hey, don't drink it all, fill it up for me."

"Well, come on."

The side is also lively, the disciples are noisy, looking at the barbecue next to the bonfire, people keep coming forward to get it, and there are constantly disciples adding to the fire again.

Laughter and laughter, even the sky.

The sprouts of the flame fluttering, swinging five or six meters high in the sky, although the night is charming, here is better than the bright day, the other colorful scene, as far as the eye can see, are beautiful.

"Drink!"

"After drinking, do you have any wine?"

"Here and here~"

"Hey, senior brother, why are you so fast, just said that you brought the wine."

On the other side, Liangping greeted Li Changyuan, and with the message of the sect master, Liangping went to say hello to the elders of the Treasure Pavilion, and then the elders of the Treasure Pavilion left for a while, and when they came back, they brought two jars of 'good wine' to Si Ming and Leng Zikuan.

"Oh, taste it, it's this wine, it will definitely make you have an endless aftertaste~"

Si Ming saw that the packaging on the outer layer of the wine jar was no different from other wine jars, and said curiously:

"Isn't it ordinary wine, what's the difference?"

Leng Zikuan happily opened the lid of the wine with a bang, but it was not completely lifted, only a slit leaked.

"This is not ordinary, this wine is called [Jianqing], I'll give you a small head later, remember to finish it in one sip."

Si Ming was puzzled:

"Got a saying?"

Cold self-widening:

"For low-realm cultivators, this wine is not wine, it is also a poisonous thing, there are many disciples of the Illusory Heaven Sword Sect around, the aroma of wine is charming, but you also have to take care of their existence, right?"

"Very much."

Leng Zikuan leaked a crack, Si Ming raised the dish to the mouth of the wine jar, and when he poured it out a little, Leng Zikuan smelled the green 'wine fragrance' on the tip of his nose, and immediately straightened the altar body and tightened the lid.

And Si Ming also quickly took back the dishes, raised his head and drank a small sip of 'good wine' in the bowl.

"Uh-huh——......"

After taking a sip, Si Ming put the wine in his mouth, and when the tip of his tongue stirred, he felt a little stinging, as if a snake and scorpion had pierced his tongue in his mouth. After a while, this stinging sensation became mellow and spicy, spicy and sweet, and the smell went straight to the nasal cavity.

Swallow it little by little, into the throat, like mountain water......

Looking at Si Ming's sip of wine, he still had to reminisce for a long time, which made Leng Zikuan laugh on the side.

The rest of the Star Dao Sect disciples not far away heard the laughter, and their attention was attracted to it.

This is the first time I have heard such a hearty laugh from Lord Leng Feng, looking at it, what a natural smile on Leng Zikuan's face. I haven't seen it in a long time, and I'm a little surprised.

"Hahahaha, don't you be so intoxicated, isn't it?"

Leng Zikuan didn't care about his own image, he craned his neck to laugh at Si Ming, on the other hand, Si Ming's micro-expression, half of his face was uncomfortable, half of his face was comfortable, and his eyebrows on the left and right were high and low.

Li Changyuan could also hear Leng Zikuan's laughter across the fire, and he also smiled.

After Si Ming reminisced for a long time, he stretched out the empty bowl in his hand, opened his eyes and said with a serious face:

"One more bowl."

"No, there are rules."

Leng Zikuan also suddenly said seriously. Si Ming didn't understand, but he felt that there were really some necessary rules, so he asked:

"What rules?"

Who knew that the expression on Leng Zikuan's face became faster, and as soon as he finished saying 'there are rules', he said with a grin in the next second:

"Laugh one~"

Si Ming knew that he was being teased, so he squinted angrily:

"Ahem, it seems that the peak master of the giant green peak is old and no longer suitable for the position of the peak master, should the deity change the position of the cold peak master after returning this trip?"

As he spoke, Si Ming opened one eye and closed one eye.

Seeing Leng Zikuan crooked his mouth, he smacked slightly:

"Hey, I can't afford to play~"

On the other end, the one who had a better time with the disciples of the Star Dao Sect was Shangguan Yuan's portable scholar. The Illusory Sky Sword Sect didn't know where to get the rice wine, it seemed to be the private treasure of the peasant people, but it was not that it was not given to the spirit stone.

At that time, no one was at home, and some of the disciples who went out to buy went to other houses, found the rice wine in the cellar, took it, and put a lot of spirit stones on the table.

He also knew that it was good wine, you see, the scholar went down half of the jar, and he was drunk, his cheeks were red, and he was red behind his ears.

"Ahh

The scholar was drunk and stunned, smirking there with his mouth open, Shangguan Yuan went to the bonfire in front of him to get barbecue, and after a while, the two female disciples of the Star Dao Sect next to the scholar went up and down:

"Ah, my little brother is so pink, sister, I like it so much~"

The scholar was drunk and didn't know what to expect, and kept pushing:

"Don't be sister, I want Xiaosheng, I want to burp, Xiaosheng ......wants to drink! ~”

"Come, how about letting my sister hug me?"

"Don't, don't, Xiaosheng is not close to women, just-I have to stick to my master-"

As he spoke, he poured another bowl of wine to suffocate his stomach.

Shangguan Yuan retrieved a skewer of barbecue, using large strings of solid wood branches, and the skewers were all pieces of leg meat, whole chickens and ducks, etc., and one skewer was enough for two or three people to eat.

It's just just picked up, and it's still a little hot.

In order to make the scholar sober, Shangguan Yuan had bad thoughts in his heart, and said to the scholar:

"Come, break whatever piece of meat you want to eat."

I understood, but I was a little confused, and I understood Shangguan Yuan's words, and the scholar didn't think much about it, and directly reached out to break the barbecue, and within two seconds, the scholar was so hot that he jumped up, grabbed his hand and snorted:

"Ahh Scalding ......"

"Hahahahahaha~"

The scholar looked at Shangguan Yuan with resentment, and muttered:

"Sir, bad!"

When the disciples next to them saw this funny scene, they also laughed happily:

"Hahahaha~"

……

In the suburbs, I smelled the aroma of wine and meat, but I could feel that it was wafting from far away.

The swordsman lowered the brim of his hat, and his hat covered the upper half of his face, as if he were passing by.

That night, on the side of the road outside the city, crickets flapped their wings, mosquitoes flew beside the two lanes, and occasionally fireflies accompanied each other. Go and glance ahead, a little bit of lights, there is a place for someone.

The swordsman tightened his grip on the sword at his waist and quickened his pace.

Walk to the brightly lit place and look up:

【Wolong City】

There are several exhibit wooden signs set up outside the city, so if you are curious, go and take a look.

Looking at it, it's all the same: recruit people with lofty ideals, go to the extraterritorial crusade against demon beasts, and reward them according to the number of heads......

Wang Peng has not had a full meal for a while, the strength of this reward is very strong, although the specific amount of reward is not indicated, but below the reward list, the royal family is written, and the lower right corner of the reward list is also stamped with the seal of the palace general military office.

Stand in front of the card and hesitate, after a moment of pause.

Wang Peng raised his hand and tore down a bounty slip, turned around and left.
