Tonight is lively, in addition to this place, the only group of people who have been hanging around recently are the guards who are far away in Wolong City.

They were stationed on the city wall, and during the fifth watch, the people of the rivers and lakes gradually gathered under the city wall.

Or swordsmen, or swordsmen, or some unseen knights, they stayed in front of the wooden card shelf, looking at the bounty order posted on the sign, the content on the list is similar, and it can be summed up in one sentence: Go and kill the demon beasts outside the territory, and get the money.

However, if you want to go outside the territory, the most basic condition is to limit ordinary monks, the Heavenly Realm, or to have the means to control the sky.

On this Qiu Jin Continent, there are very few monks who can cross the Black River, and most of the strong people in the Heavenly Realm are elders in some sects, or guest kings, and even sect masters, heads, and elders in some small sects.

Which of their people is short of money?

How could he go to the domain for the sake of a little bit of the court?

"It's not worth ......"

"It's hard to get this money......"

Those Jianghu people sighed and sighed.

A few people stopped for a while without showing their faces, and then stepped forward, took off one or several lists and left.

I can also think of those Jianghu people who dare to unveil the list, none of them are people from any sect, and they go back to the list just to discuss with the sect, or to form a group with people from their own sect, or to send some masters to go.

At least they have a background, and they can't compare to these scattered cultivators who are wandering around and hesitating.

I'm waiting for these rivers and lakes to cultivate, I want money but no money, I want power but no power, huh......

I can only take a small list to get by, but now it's good, around Wolong City, all the places where the bounty list is posted have all been replaced with a list of extraterritorial crusades.

Who can take it?

What about money?

How to make this money?

After that, there were also many casual cultivators who began to woo the rest of the casual cultivators who didn't know each other:

"Hey, hello."

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

"You have also seen it, this court is not a person, and it doesn't give us these rivers and lakes to repair and live at all."

"Yes, I can't take this kind of list."

The other party expressed helplessness, and took the lead in dispersing the cultivators to show goodwill:

"It's just not going to be alone, I didn't say 'we' can't do it."

The other party came to be interested:

"Oh? What can you do, uh, is it difficult to become a ......, disrespectful and disrespectful, I don't know that my predecessors are actually strong people in the Heavenly Realm. ”

The man waved his hand and smiled:

"Hehehe, no, no, it's not that I've won the prize, I'm only at the peak of the realm, and I don't know how to control the sky."

"Oh, that's the pinnacle of the realm."

"But I'm a famous sword cultivator, I have learned some side ways, and I have cultivated all the way, and my fighting skills are not very hard, but I have a lot of skills to escape, and the flying of the sword is one of my most proud skills."

The other party understood the meaning:

"Oh, Brother Tai has the means to control the sky?"

"Hehe, sort of, with full focus on control, two swords with one person, it's not a problem."

After thinking about it for a while, the two hit it off:

"Brother Tai should have good means, this single and I will work together, and we will definitely be able to give it a try."

"Eh, I'm a sword cultivator, and the King of Ten Thousand Weapons is just a runaway guy in my hands, and the real hard power has to be you waiting for such a sword cultivator."

"Ten weeks in the lower realm, swordsman, scattered cultivation, Han Tao."

The two of them met:

"Ten weeks of consummation in the lower realm, sword cultivation, Zhang Run."

"Fortunately."

"Fortunately."

After that, there were also a lot of casual cultivators who selected and formed teams. Each other will ask about each other's abilities and realms. Occasionally, there are scattered cultivators who hide some when they report, after all, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they leave a little hole card in everything, so as not to be cheated and unable to escape.

Under the city walls, the sky gradually brightened, and in the morning, the sun rose.

And here, it quickly became several small groups, either in groups of two, or in teams of three, or in groups of five or six.

These casual cultivators came and went quickly, and later people imitated the former, saying that they all started to form gangs, and after discussing them, they left the city.

It was at this time that the sun had just emerged, and the slightly dazzling light woke up Li Changyuan, who was lying on his side. Before the strength of his wine had passed, he woke up in a daze, and his brain was groggy.

Yes...... Slept here for the night?

I didn't go back to my room to sleep, why do I like to sleep outside so much......

A different place, a sense of déjà vu,

Li Changyuan doesn't have to raise his eyes to look around, and he doesn't have to think about it, in this case, well, ......, Zhang Wenliang's guy must have slipped away again.

Most of the disciples went back to sleep, and there were only a small number of disciples left on the field, lying on the martial arts arena in various forms, the posture was more strange than the other, it seemed that they had drunk a lot of alcohol last night......

"Hmm,"

When I was about to get up, I found that I was covered with a blanket, which seemed to be a sheet, I don't know who kindly covered myself, and the night breeze last night was indeed a little cold. Looking back, Li Changyuan smiled knowingly, Fang Qian was lying on his side next to him and shrunk up, still asleep.

When Li Changyuan got up, a figure just covered Fang Qian, and when the shadow swept over Fang Qian's face, Fang Qian woke up.

“…… Uh, sir. ”

Seeing her get up, Li Changyuan said with a smile:

"Go back to your room and sleep, it's dusty here, and the sun will come out soon, and it's not good to be in the sun for a long time."

Gradually, many disciples also woke up from the field, and the fire was extinguished last night's bonfire this morning, but the barbecued meat was eaten cleanly, leaving only wooden skewers on the ground, and the ground was a mess.

However, last night was really enjoyable, everyone drank a lot, except for the disciples who were not drunk and helped their partners back to sleep in the room, and these were either no partners on the field, or they were drunk with their partners and slept here together.

Last night, it was pleasant.

"Uh——、 hey——!"

Li Changyuan stretched comfortably, and then set off to go back to his room, Fang Qian got up and patted the ashes on his body, took the blanket he covered Li Changyuan last night, and followed behind Li Changyuan.

After walking for a short time, when he returned to the top of the main hall of the sect, when he saw this scene, Li Changyuan slapped his head in embarrassment:

"Well, look at my memory, the hall has been burned as firewood, and my room is gone, sleep with a hammer and sleep ......"

And in the ruins where the main hall was, there was a figure-

Ryohei was still leaning on an undamaged chair, holding his side face with a handle, and sleeping on the chair with his head up.

Why, doesn't Ryohei have a room, why don't you go back to the room to sleep?

Li Changyuan stepped forward and shook Liangping awake:

"It's dusty here, let's go back to sleep."

Liangping, who was woken up from his sleep, stared at Li Changyuan, and after a while he came back to his senses, stood up, and said solemnly:

"Sect Master, I have something to say!"

Li Changyuan was very surprised, thinking: 'I'm afraid this person hasn't woken up from a dream yet?' Why is there such a big reaction......'

"What's the matter?"

After Liang Ping'an settled his emotions, he said to Li Changyuan seriously, with a somewhat mysterious expression:

"There is no one in Huacheng and Houjiu City, there is no one in the city overnight."

Li Changyuan became alert and asked:

"What does it have to do with us?"

At the same time of questioning, Li Changyuan turned around and glanced at the martial arts arena, and many sect disciples were awakened by the sun one after another, and then supported each other to go back. The field was full of disciples of the sect, and the disciples of the Star Dao Sect, as well as Leng Zikuan and Si Ming, had already said goodbye to Li Changyuan before dawn after drinking.

Shangguan Yuan and the others also left before dawn.

Now there are no outsiders here, and there is no need to speak in secrecy.

Ryohei's face was calm and slightly anxious:

"At first glance, it doesn't seem to matter, the affairs of the empty city should be under the control of the imperial court, but it was also last night that the disciples who came back from outside said that outside the city on the side of Wolong City, the bounty list was all replaced."

"What's the ...... with Huacheng and Houjiucheng, etc., ......etc."

When Li Changyuan was talking, something suddenly came to mind in his mind, his own memory? No, it doesn't seem to be, it's not my memory, it's Lu Sheng...... The other self.

During those twenty years, Lu Sheng was waiting for Jiucheng and himself...... The twenty years I lived in Houjiu City.

Until the moment before Lu Sheng finally died, that frame.

Black River ......

Mei Chao, the second brother, the third brother ......, and ......

Que Shengting...... and Que Shiyi......

I thought about it, I remembered it, it was all him, it was all Que Shiyi who was playing ghosts, recalling the scene in my memory, I had gone with Mei Chao to the place where Que Shengting was located, and it became a scorched ruin, I was just an ordinary person at that time, but now I am different, combined with my own knowledge, and the peeping ability of [Tianxin], Li Changyuan can immediately be sure that it was Shangguan Yuan who destroyed Que Shengting.

The means of Dharma cultivation.

Liangping saw that Li Changyuan's contemplative face was a little wrong, gradually gloomy and dim, as if a bit of murderous intent was revealed, and Liangping was so frightened that he immediately asked:

"Sect Master?"

Li Changyuan came back to his senses, raised his brows, and noticed that he might be the only one who knew the ins and outs of the whole thing at the moment. It's okay not to say it, so that the news will spread and some people will be careful.

"Well, what else is the information, what happened to those bounty lists outside Wolong City that you just mentioned?"

Li Changyuan asked, continuing the topic that he hadn't finished talking about before, and Liangping continued:

"Oh, that's it, the previous bounty lists have all been removed, and now they are all bounty lists for the crusade of extraterritorial demon beasts. Because they are all copied by hand, some words are different and sentence structures are different, but the content is almost the same. ”

The palace knows that it was the demon beast who did it?

Li Changyuan pondered——

"No, it was obviously not the demon beasts who took the initiative to do it, it was obviously the residents of Huacheng who smuggled over by themselves, and they also took the initiative to attack the demon beasts in those territories. Hmm, these are the layouts of Que Shiyi's old thief, and the emperor's side is obviously on the set. ’

Now is not the time to be idle, if someone reveals the bounty list on the side of Wolong City, even if there is a means to cross the river and go to the ...... of the wasteland continent, eighty percent will be sent to death in vain.

And these are just the first steps on the chessboard, Que Shiyi, the old thief, there must be other ways in the back.

Maybe there are still people behind Que Shiyi, it's hard to say,

After Li Changyuan pondered for a moment, he turned back to Fang Qian and said:

"You go back to sleep first, I still have something to deal with, so you don't have to take care of me first."

"Yes, sir."

After Fang Qian left, Li Changyuan turned around and instructed Liangping:

"Send someone to Wolong City tomorrow to report a message, just say that I want to see Shangguan Yuan, it should be unrealistic to see the emperor directly, let me talk to Shangguan Yuan first."

"Okay."

……

The next day, the main hall of the sect began to be rebuilt, by the miscellaneous disciples in the sect and some outer disciples in charge, two elders of the outer gate commanded, in one day, the general framework has been built, followed by the cumbersome projects such as pouring cement.

Before the construction of the main hall was completed, Li Changyuan's residence became the accommodation of the disciples when he first came to the Illusory Heaven Sword Sect.

The environment in this room has not changed, Li Changyuan slept all night, and Gu Yuan still habitually pressed under his pillow. Rosa hasn't shown up to talk to her for a long time, and now she is probably still asleep, and Li Changyuan has always been worried about the things in Wolong City.

Two days later, the disciple replied, and Liangping came to inform Li Changyuan:

"The elder of the middle school said that he was welcome at any time."

"Well, got it, I'll go down the mountain later."

Liangping was afraid that Li Changyuan didn't know his own situation, so he whispered:

"Sect Master, you ...... You're only a mid-stage cultivator in the Xuan Realm, and you won't be able to fly with your sword. ”

Not......

Yes, Li Changyuan didn't even notice it, and thought that he was a strong man in the realm, which was funny, and now he even had a problem going down the mountain.

But the trip to Wolong City had to go.

Li Changyuan sighed helplessly and said:

"You give me a ride, just go down the mountain."

“…… Oh, why don't you call an elder or a few inner disciples together? ”

"No, I'll do it alone."

"Uh, okay."

Seeing that Li Changyuan insisted on going down the mountain, Liangping didn't have much to stop him, after all, he was the sect master, and it was not the turn of the elders to give him guidance on what he wanted to do. Liangping only hopes that after the sect master descends the mountain, he will be alone outside, and there will be no accidents.

didn't make much preparations, Li Changyuan brought some silver taels with him, and then took Gu Yuan and Liangping down under the mountain stone with a sword.

After landing on the ground, Liangping suddenly remembered and asked curiously:

"Sect Master, that, Fang Qian won't come with you?"

Li Changyuan thought that he had been sleeping all these years, and when he woke up, Fang Qian was an old man, and the things he had planned before had not been arranged.

Come to think of it, it's not too late, so let's arrange it now.

If so, Li Changyuan instructed:

"Fang Qian's side, well, after I leave, you go find some exercises for her to practice, and give her the pills when she needs them."

"Sect Master, what do you want to ......?"

"Well, how many years can ordinary people live, she is a good person, and she can't let me be a master and send a servant to the end, right?"

Ryohei understands:

"Got it, I'll arrange it when I get back."

"Okay, just send it here, go back, I'm leaving."

"Be careful on the way."

After saying goodbye, Li Changyuan was dressed in thin clothes, and walked towards Wolong City with only a sword behind his back.

On foot, it is necessary to walk for a while, the affairs of the Illusory Sky Sword Sect are busy with them, Li Changyuan does not have to worry about it, the affairs of the sect, the elders are very handy with this, and Li Changyuan is exempted from the trouble.

On the way, I thought about the 'false' twenty years of life in my mind, and when I woke up at first, I thought it was a dream, and the dream was quite real.

Unfortunately, it was all real.

So what to say......

'When you have time, go and see, I don't know if there is grass growing on the ground next to my grandfather, and when the weather is good, I will go to weed my grandfather. ’

Li Changyuan was depressed, raised his eyes to look at the sun in the sky, and unconsciously sunset.

The sky is getting darker.

When night came, Li Changyuan stopped, this area was barren, only some dead wood was left, and it was scorched by the thunderstorm he attracted at that time, looking at those trees were still standing in shape, but when Li Changyuan stepped forward, just a light touch of his hand, a whole tree cracked and fell into a pile of charcoal powder.

It is difficult to get half an inch of wood here, it is difficult to make a fire, it is not late at night, and it is bed on the ground.

Just meditate until dawn, Wumeng is gray, there is an early morning, with a few miles of fog, the morning dew on the shoulders and back, when you get up, the night dew accumulated on the scabbard of the ancient yuan, along the rough lines of the relief.

In the end, two drops of dew fell and fell on Li Changyuan's upper, and the back heel felt slightly wet.

"Hmm——......"

Shallow stretched his waist, and Li Changyuan continued to hurry.

Although he has been sleeping for twenty years, his original ability is not unfamiliar, he rests for one night, and his body unconsciously runs the [Cloud Transformation Technique], and the aura in this place is so thin that it is almost none, but it has more or less absorbed some of it, which is used to fill Li Changyuan's physical energy consumption.

One day later, Li Changyuan finally came to Wolong City.

I walked out of the official road and walked outside the city, and it was so lively under the city wall in front of me-

"So many people?"

Li Changyuan even walked over carefully, and in order not to attract the attention of those of them, his footsteps were on the tip of his toes first, so as not to make any footsteps.

It's just that the walking posture is more strange, and more and more eyes seem.

Li Changyuan adjusted it, and finally returned to his normal appearance and walked to the city gate.

The guards stationed on both sides of the city gate lifted the vertical spears and crossed them with half of the spears on both sides, blocking the way in front of Li Changyuan.

"Stop! There is nothing important to do in casual practice, so you are not allowed to enter! ”

It means that Li Changyuan's dress is also the same as those people who are wandering left and right in front of the wooden plaque behind him, and he is regarded as a casual cultivator?

In front of him, even if the guards did not block the way, the gate leading to the city was closed with a fully enclosed fence. If you want to enter, you have to wait for the guards inside the city to pull the gate and raise the fence gate.

Li Changyuan said quietly and calmly, his face did not change:

"Let me know, the scholar of the Chinese Academy invited me to come."

"What's the name?!"

The soldier even had a stern face, but it was obvious that the guard was a little nervous.

Li Changyuan replied:

"Li Changyuan."

The answer after the guard may have deliberately turned into an honorific:

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go and report it."

With that, the guard turned around and ran in the direction of the palace as if his butt was on fire. It wasn't a long wait, and within half an hour, the guard came back sweating profusely.

After coming back, seeing that he whispered a few words to the captain of the guard, the captain of the guard raised his hand and ordered, the iron fence gate was raised, and the two guards on the left and right bent down and bowed, welcoming Li Changyuan into the city.

……

In the palace, the emperor pinched the bridge of his nose and eyebrows, there are too many variables in recent days, the grain and grass are very insufficient, there is no one in the neighboring Huacheng, and the matter of collecting grain and grass cannot be helped by the side of Hou Jiucheng, let alone the situation of the same empty city.

At the moment, I can only collect grain and grass from away to Antler City, Barbarian City, and Qianhe City, and there is no time for ten days and a half months, and I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the rectification and dispatch troops.

Shangguan Yuan was even more concerned about the affairs of the Wasteland Continent.

Yesterday, not long after Shangguan Yuan came back, he passed by and witnessed the scene outside the city, and learned about the emperor's wide distribution of bounty lists. Immediately, Shangguan Yuan ran to the emperor's bedroom:

"Your Majesty, you are confused!"

"How do you say that?"

Shangguan Yuan was very anxious:

"What kind of bounty are you sending, you are in a panic, I'm afraid that things won't be enough to make trouble?!"

"The treasury is rich in gold, how can there be a saying that he is afraid that he will not be able to take it away?"

The emperor is still puzzled, Shangguan Yuan can only explain this:

"It's not a question of treasury money, you ......"
