Chapter 158: Heroes Headed West
I don't know when it began, the grudge between the Xiangxi monks and the Badong monks became deeper and deeper, and they were almost red-eyed when they met. And between the two sects that dominate the two places, it is even more irreconcilable.
Therefore, the battle between the Zhanglong faction and Gengsang Cave was different from the three factions fighting one sect the year before, the two sides had a blood feud, and it was impossible to resolve it easily, not only the Zhanglong faction could not resolve it, but even these Xiangxi cultivators who were recruited and transferred could not be resolved.
Everyone is reluctant to fight, but once the war comes, they are unwilling to escape, including Liu Xiaolou - the teacher, Mr. Sanxuan, has participated in many battles with Gengsang Cave, and has been repeatedly injured in the battle.
It's just that Liu Xiaolou is self-aware, with his cultivation of the fifth layer of qi refining, he is really going to embark on the front line of the war between the two sides, and the possibility of not coming back is quite large, so this is not the time to be rash.
That night, Longshan Sanren, Zuo Gaofeng and others also went to Qianzhuling, and they knew that Liu Xiaolou was exempted from recruitment because of the identity of the Su family's aunt, so they all came to help Gu together.
Longshan Sanren entrusted his apprentice Li Busan, who was crying non-stop, to the ground, and kowtowed to Liu Xiaolou three times, making him call him "Uncle Shi". Liu Xiaolou knew that after receiving these three heads, if there was any accident during the war of the Longshan Sanren, he would have to take care of and teach Li Busan in the future, and the weight of these three heads was extremely heavy.
Zuo Gaofeng entrusted a family to Liu Xiaolou, Aunt Li in the village outside Xishankou.
"If I'm unlucky, Xiaolou will help take care of it more...... No, it's different from other villagers, please take special care of it, and I'm grateful...... She's pregnant. β
"Ah...... Brother Zuo turned out to be ......"
"Don't mention it, two months ago, I was drunk for a while...... She didn't have a man in her family, so ......"
"I know, Brother Zuo will be fine, everyone will be fine."
"Anyway, you know that's it."
Gengsang Cave's action was very fast, and the latest news came that they had gathered hundreds of Badong monks and had already left Yushan in the east, so the Zhanglong faction did not dare to delay, and the next morning, they urged all the roads of Wulong Mountain to go down the mountain and converge with the main force of the Zhanglong faction to the west.
Just one morning passed, and Oolong Mountain was cold and lonely.
Although the agreed provincial holiday had already arrived, Liu Xiaolou was in no hurry to go back, listening to the news from the west, and constantly looking at the few burdens entrusted to his shoulders.
From time to time, I went to Longshan to take a look at Li Busan and pointed out the difficulties in his practice.
Or go to Xikou Village to visit Aunt Li and her elderly mother, and make up some rice, grain, meat and cloth for the family.
Or go to Tanjiazhuang outside the mountain to take a look at the situation of the old man of the Tan family and the brothers of Tan Bazhang, well, this family is a family of loose cultivators, in fact, it can't take care of anything, the old man Tan is at home, but several of Tan Bazhang's brothers have been requisitioned to Lishui - the big war is about to start, how can they stay out of the matter?
However, when he said that he was Tan Bazhang's brother, he was directly blasted out by the old man with a flying stick.
After more than ten days in a hurry, I didn't wait for the news of the war in the west, but I waited for Wei Hongqing.
Seeing Wei Hongqing, half a month of anxiety finally let go, and he said abruptly: "The Lord of Zuoxia, Bazhang and Longshan Sanren have all been recruited. β
Wei Hongqing nodded: "I know, I heard, I specially purchased a batch of spirit wine, and I am going to send it to Lishui to reward our brothers in Wulong Mountain." When I passed by, I came up to have a look. β
"Brother Wei's own money?"
"Twenty-four altars of spiritual cellars, eight altars of bamboo leaves."
"Spent a lot of money, right? Brother Wei, this one is mine, and it may add up to a few jars of bamboo leaves and greens, and do some meager efforts. β
Wei Hongqing was also not polite, he took it, he saw that it was all scattered gold, silver and jade, etc., and knew that most of it was Liu Xiaolou's net worth, so he couldn't help but wonder: "You have not been in the Su family for a short time, why are you so poor?" β

Liu Xiaolou smiled bitterly: "With my identity, no one in the Su family can afford me, and the monthly silver is only ten taels." β
Wei Hongqing was surprised: "I didn't arrange an errand for you?" β
Liu Xiaolou shook his head: "The Su family raised me as an idler, not as good as Brother Wei, and I can preside over a party's career." Of course, there are also benefits, in the name of the Su family, I was not recruited on this expedition, so I escaped a catastrophe. β
Wei Hongqing didn't know what to say, so he took out a pot of bamboo leaves from his arms, sat down with Liu Xiaolou and drank it.
"Brother Wei, do you actually have a storage artifact?"
"How is it possible, this thing is precious, I borrowed it."
"It's also great to be able to borrow storage artifacts. Brother Wei, your complexion has changed again, isn't it that your cultivation has taken it to the next level? β
"In the first half of the year, I practiced a lot in the blessed land of Tianmu Mountain, and I also gained some benefits, and now it is the seventh layer."
"Is it so fast? It's only been a year since Brother Wei broke through the sixth layer, right? My brother is really envious. β
"Haha, it's a year ahead. You seem to have made great progress in the small building, have you reached the fifth floor? Is it also to follow the Su family into the Danxia Cave Heaven to practice? β
"It's five floors. But it has nothing to do with Danxia Dongtian, their thousand-year-old ceremony, let me go in and eat Panzuo meat, that's all. β
"That's a pity, this time I practiced in the blessed land, I kind of understood, among the children of those great sects, there are certainly geniuses, but how strong are more than me? Half a year, a year to break through the realm, why is this? It's nothing more than exercises, spiritual springs, and elixirs, and by the way, there are also famous teachers to guide them. If the heroes of Oolong Mountain such as me have this situation, which one will be worse than them? β
"Brother Wei, maybe this is our fate."
"Then Xiaolou Ling accepted his fate?"
This question stopped Liu Xiaolou, and he had no way to answer it until he drank a pot of bamboo leaf green.
Wei Hongqing left, Liu Xiaolou wanted to go to Lishui with him to have a look, but was dissuaded, the reason was still that his cultivation was not enough, and if there was an accident on the road, it would be difficult to take care of him.
After staying for a few more days, when heavy rain fell on Wulong Mountain, I waited for an acquaintance again, and this time it was Hutou Jiao.
"That's where Xiaolou grew up?" Hutou Jiao did not shelter from the wind and rain, and circled around Qianzhuling, and couldn't help sighing: "The scenery is really beautiful, no wonder such a handsome character as Xiaolou can grow." β
Liu Xiaolou beckoned him on the terrace under the eaves: "Come up and take shelter." β
The tiger head Jiao didn't see enough, and went up to the top of the mountain in the rain, saw the big white goose lying in the rain, and shouted: "I haven't seen the big white for a long time, let me go!" Squeezing the big white goose aside, looking at the mountains in the rain, he stretched out his arms and shouted, "Beautifulβ"
"Boom", the thunder rolled up, as if it was split straight down from the head, so startled that the tiger head Jiao shuddered, and then laughed again, but did not dare to wander here again, and returned to the small courtyard.
"I still remember the last time I came, I still explored the mountain with Xiaolou and Bazhang, but unfortunately I was discovered by the Qingyuzong, and I was outnumbered and fell into the hands of the enemy, and I couldn't enjoy the scenery of Qianzhuling, this time it was worth it, no wonder Xiaolou didn't want to go back, haha."
"Not really...... Mainly...... Brother Badong offended me in Xiangxi, and I was worried about the war in my heart, so I ......"
"Xiaolou, that's what I'm here for. Your Su family asked me to come here specially to recruit you back. You are the son-in-law of the Su family, and the battle with Gengsang Cave, the Su family is afraid that you will be hot-headed. β
"Are they afraid that I will drag the Su family in? How can it be? I'm a lowly inverted door......"
"I'm afraid Gengsang Cave doesn't think so."
