Volume 1: The Past of Qingluo Chapter 124: Strange Stories on the Way (1)
With a plop, at the corner of a hillside with lush foliage and a slightly gentle slope, Li Changyue's figure smashed into the hollow formed by several boulders crookedly, and then let out a long breath, half sitting and half leaning on the side of the stone wall.
Then, Li Changyue took out a milky white jade bottle from the storage bag, poured some yellow-white medicinal powder from it, and sprinkled it on the two wounds left on his arm and chest during the previous battle, when he sprinkled the powder on the bloody wound, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the corners of his eyes also twitched a little.
After a while, Li Changyue's expression relaxed, and his tense body began to ease, and then he took out a few green and verdant pills and took them, and then sat cross-legged and breathed on the spot, at the same time, Li Changyue's resolute and sturdy body began to produce a wonderful rhythm, with the dantian as the center, the body exuded a blue-purple halo, and flickered and jumped slowly in a regular manner, just like breathing.
Not only that, but around the Baihui acupoint on the top of Li Changyue's head, there is also a much smaller light, but it looks more condensed, and this flickering light group is much more agile, just like having life, this smart light group echoes the blue-purple halo at the dantian.
Half an hour later, the scene produced by Li Changyue's pranayama slowly disappeared, and Li Changyue's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and lightning seemed to pass as far as the eye could see.
Li Changyue looked at his own state, frowned and pondered: "The essence is already pure enough, the divine mind has reached the late stage of the initial divine will, and has reached the ordinary level of a condensing realm cultivator, just wait for the cultivation to come up, find an opportunity to break through, you still have to be careful before breaking through, the enemy will die!" ”
Looking at the two wounds on his body that had begun to stop the blood and slowly healed, and the spiritual power that had just recovered less than half, Li Changyue's frowning brows slowly relaxed again.
"In this battle of life and death, the power of the true yuan in the body has been polished more refined, and the exercises that were originally a little sluggish have also been realized a lot, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!"
After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the back of the boulder not far away with a relaxed gaze, and then smiled: "Come out, you old boy seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, and his ability to hide and hide is well cultivated, so you really chose the right person to go to Xuanling Sect!" ”
As soon as Li Changyue finished speaking, a cautious, broad-faced middle-aged monk wearing a soap robe flashed out from behind the boulder, which was Lu Zhiyuan, who was hiding in the forest under the cover of Li Changyue before.
Lu Zhiyuan's bright smile carried a hint of embarrassment: "Hehe, I can't hide your eyes if I hide it too well, I was afraid of disturbing you just now, don't get me wrong, and I'm really afraid that someone will follow!" ”
"Let's say you're cowardly, you dared to follow those people from a distance before, aren't you afraid of being discovered!" Li Changyue asked indifferently.
Lu Zhiyuan came to Li Changyue's side in three steps and two steps, sat down, and said with a wry smile: "Why aren't you afraid, those few people are far stronger than me, aren't I worried about your situation!" ”
After speaking, he sighed, and said with doubts and uneasiness on his face: "How did you know that I was following behind, and you could still find me in that situation!" ”
"Don't think about it, I'm just leaving a wisp of divine thought on you when I was covering the retreat first!" Li Changyue laughed, and then pretended to give Lu Zhiyuan a look, "Take precautions in advance, what if an enemy's undercover agent comes out like before, hehehehe!" ”
Lu Zhiyuan looked at Li Changyue's eyes and felt a little furious, and after listening to his words, he was even more frightened and incoherent: "No, no, no, Brother Li, don't scare me, I was really saved by you by chance, how can I, you are too sensitive, there is no such thing!" ”
As if he was afraid that Li Changyue would not believe it, Lu Zhiyuan waved his hand back and forth as he spoke.
Li Changyue put away his smile, slapped Lu Zhiyuan on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "You don't need to take it seriously, you may do the same if you are replaced, and then the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, don't trust anyone easily when you go to Xuanling Sect this time, even if it is an acquaintance or a friend!" ”
"Uh, okay!" Lu Zhiyuan shrugged his shoulders, then frowned and said, "Brother Li, didn't you say that you would go back after a while, should you go now?" ”
"That's right, the situation can't catch up with the changes, but I don't want to enter the Xuanling Sect so soon, there are some things I want to investigate!"
Lu Zhiyuan asked hesitantly, "Do you want to contact those friends of yours?" ”
"What else to contact, the best choice when scattering and escaping, the monks of the Floating Shadow Sect are estimated to have already spread all over this place, and it is too late for us to hide!"
"We can't go the same way, we can only detour, and Jingyuefang City can't go, it is estimated that it may not be safe there now, let's go directly to the Yuandu Principality!"
After speaking, he didn't delay any longer, gathered the breath in his body, and left cautiously in the direction of the edge of the forbidden land with Lu Zhiyuan.
……
Li Changyue and Lu Zhiyuan slept in the open along the way, survived more than a dozen dangerous encounters without danger, and spent more than two months through the Moonswing Forbidden Land and the Cloud Valley Forbidden Land, and came to the edge of a village and town that looked like a certain scale.
"Brother Li, you take precautions, it turns out that the sect of Yunze Kingdom has already intended to swallow the entire Principality of Haide, if it weren't for the intervention of Yuandu Kingdom, I'm afraid this would have been taken down!" Lu Zhiyuan looked at the beautiful scenery under the sunset and the gentle valley here, and his originally somewhat anxious expression calmed down a lot.
"Maybe, but I'm afraid that the major families of the Principality of Haide have already fallen to one side, and the actions of the sects of Yunze and Yuandu are also reasonable!"
Li Changyue replied expressionlessly, as if he had long been tired of listening, his eyes were in a half-squinted state, and his expression seemed to be asleep, as if he was pondering something.
As they spoke, the two gradually walked to the wide place of the field here, the surrounding scenery seemed to dim when the two walked into a wide road, and the afterglow of the sunset in the distance also instantly disappeared into the darkness, and the air unconsciously produced a gloomy feeling, this sudden change made Lu Zhiyuan subconsciously feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.
Unlike Lu Zhiyuan, Li Changyue's senses were much sharper, although he was in a state of recuperation, but when the aura around him changed, he instantly opened his eyes and looked around.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't care about Li Changyue's expression, he was still in a very happy mood, chattering on the side.
"It's here, it's here, Brother Li, you see that there are a lot of spiritual fields here, it seems that it's not far from the village and town, it's getting late, let's just take a rest!" Lu Zhiyuan glanced into the distance, then grinned, so happy that he was about to jump up, and patted Li Changyue's arm vigorously, "Oh, Brother Li, you are simply too boring, you are either practicing or fighting monsters along the way, don't you feel bored!" ”
Li Changyue also noticed this valley with abundant spiritual power and lush water and grass and the nearby spiritual fields that were irregularly shaped and slightly messy, and came back to his senses from his contemplation: "The spiritual fields here are too barren, and it seems that no one has harvested them for a long time!" ”
After speaking, he shook his head, then turned his head and blinked at Lu Zhiyuan: "Come to life again, I've worked so hard this way, just rest for half a day, you will lead the way to this kind of place, hey!" ”
After speaking, the slightly lazy aura on his body changed, and the power of the true yuan in his body was not triggered, vague and uncertain, and he could deal with the danger that might come at any time.
"It's over, you crow's mouth is about to start again!" Hearing Li Changyue say this, Lu Zhiyuan's face suddenly froze, and then a panicked expression began to appear in his eyes, "Brother Li, what's the situation, is there something wrong here, it's normal for this kind of remote field to be barren at all!" ”
The waning moon, one large and one small, hung high on the branches of the trees fluttering back and forth, and occasionally a few unemotional sounds of birds and beasts chirped in the empty mountains.
Looking at the desolate and lonely environment around here, Lu Zhiyuan fought a cold war, hurriedly followed Li Changyue's footsteps, and constantly looked at the somewhat gloomy village under the dark night sky in the distance with a weak gaze, wanting to break this depressing atmosphere with words.
Li Changyue turned his head and glanced at Lu Zhiyuan with a strange look, then snorted and said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't dodge there, your body is about to tremble, I'm afraid it's useless!" ”
When Lu Zhiyuan heard this, he also showed helplessness: "You said it lightly, you are frightened along the way, there are dangerous places everywhere around this forbidden place, I originally wanted to pick a better route, but now I have fallen into this kind of ghost place again!" ”
"How can you be a monk who has so much to do like an ordinary person, even if it is dangerous here, it is better than being involved in the battle between sects!" Li Changyue replied indifferently.
"Well, if you encounter any powerful monsters anyway, I count on you to make a move." Lu Zhiyuan shrugged his shoulders and began to be on guard, but he was ready to hide at any time and not cause trouble for Li Changyue.
After a while, Li Changyue and Lu Zhiyuan stopped, and they came to the edge of a somewhat old-looking village and town, where several vague figures of children were jumping back and forth around a solid stone wall.
Lu Zhiyuan stood behind Li Changyue with a dark face, pursed his lips tightly and said: "You're right, I've turned around several times, and every time I encounter this village, it seems that we are really caught in a trick!" ”
"Red lantern, white lantern, I'll give you one, add oil!"
"Hee-hee-hee!"
One of them, with his hair combed in a bun, looked like a child of seven or eight years old, with his back to Li Changyue and Lu Zhiyuan, running and shouting a strange nursery rhyme, singing a few words and began to move towards Li Changyue and the two, looking very strange in the empty night, at the same time, Li Changyue and Lu Zhiyuan felt an extremely powerful yin and evil aura coming towards them.
"This, what should I do!" Lu Zhiyuan's tone changed a little, holding a long sword and a stack of talismans tightly in his hand, and began to muttered in Li Changyue's ear, "This aura is too strong, can it be stopped!" ”
Li Changyue's face did not change, and he quietly urged the true yuan in his body, and manipulated the true yuan with his divine thoughts in front of him to form a yuan aura in front of the two of them.
Click, the child came to a place a few meters in front of the two and suddenly stopped, and Li Changyue and the two also saw a clear outline of their backs.
"You ......"
Just when Lu Zhiyuan was about to say something, the child turned around instantly, Lu Zhiyuan was startled, it turned out that the moment the child turned around, two large lanterns appeared from its two hands, one red and one white, and then the child's figure seemed to disappear the moment the lantern appeared.
But in this process, Li Changyue's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw some strange scenes, the figure of this child seemed to be split into two at the moment of disappearing, and turned into two familiar figures, it was none other than himself and Lu Zhiyuan behind him.
"What the hell, what the hell is this kid, what's the matter with this lantern?" Lu Zhiyuan's body was agitated, and he was at a loss for what to do in his hands, and then asked with a shocked expression.
