There is no nail in the mountain, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past half a year, two disciples from the outer mountains broke through to the Qi Sea Realm and crossed the Thousand Soldiers Bridge, becoming disciples of the inner mountains. It was Zhao Jun, a python-robed man from the royal family, and Ke Yiran, a gray-robed blind boy with a bamboo cane.

When these two people entered Fuhu Mountain, they had already reached the tenth layer of the Qi Condensation Realm and could break through to the Qi Sea Realm at any time. Temporarily suppressing the realm is just to lay a stronger foundation.

So being able to break through and join Uchiyama in such a short period of time was also expected by the elders.

In addition to these two disciples who have already entered the inner mountain, there are also three new disciples who have also broken through to the Qi Sea Realm, but they have not crossed the Thousand Soldiers Bridge for the time being, and they are still staying in the outer mountain.

Yan Fang and Mo Sisi, on the other hand, were both at the tenth layer of the Qi Condensation Realm, and they had not yet touched the threshold of breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm. This is not because the cultivation speed of the two is slow, on the contrary, the two of them are one of the few people whose realm has improved the fastest among the disciples in the outer mountains, but it is only because the realm is low when they first enter that they are lagging behind.

...

There are two futons in the small courtyard next to the medicine field.

A fair-skinned girl in a blue dress and a young man in a cloth robe with long hair sitting cross-legged on a futon, practicing with their eyes closed.

If you look closely, you will see that there are faint fluctuations in the water around the boy, and you can also hear the sound of "gurgling" water. Around the girl, there is a chessboard phantom floating, and from time to time there is a crisp sound of falling children.

These two people are Yan Fang and Mo Sisi. They are practicing "Water Scripture Notes" and "Qingfeng Chess Records" respectively.

In the past six months, the two of them almost didn't go to the Tianji Hall to take over the task, and most of the time they spent practicing the methods they borrowed from the library building in the small courtyard, and occasionally practicing some spells.

"Whew"

Yan Fang breathed a long sigh of relief and opened his eyes, ending this practice. After half a year of hard cultivation, he had already laid a solid foundation and gained a firm foothold in the tenth layer of the Condensation Realm, all he lacked was an opportunity to break through.

After a cup of tea, Mo Sisi also woke up from his meditation, and there was a faint chessboard flickering in his beautiful eyes.

"Sisi, have you also reached the bottleneck" Yan Fang asked

"Well, the heaven and earth aura in the body is already sufficient, and what is missing is an opportunity to gather qi into a sea. The girl rubbed her hair and replied.

"It's time to take on a few tasks, first, to earn some contribution points, and second, to find opportunities for breakthroughs. Yan Fang said.

"Well, that's what I thought too. The girl replied.

...

Three days later, on Shanghe Street, the most prosperous street in Shangzhou City, a teenager and a young girl were particularly eye-catching.

The young man's long hair was casually scattered, his white cloth robe was spotless, and he was holding a folding fan painted with flowers, birds, insects and beasts in his hand. The girl on the side was wearing a blue dress, with a fair complexion and a delicate appearance, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked curiously at the shops on the street.

This pair of young boys and girls is Yan Fang and Mo Sisi, who left the sect to go out on a mission.

"From the time I entered Fuhu Mountain to now, I haven't come down for half a year. If you don't come down to take a stroll, the last bit of fireworks on your body will be gone. ”

Mo Sisi complained while eating the candy man he had just bought.

"yes, it's been a long time since I've come down. Every day, I hear the sound of cicadas, frogs and sheep, and I haven't heard such a lively shouting for a long time. Yan Fang looked at the lively street market in front of him for a long time and sighed with some emotion, and couldn't help but think of Yuezhou, Cuiming Tower, and Liu Xiaomei's steamed buns.

Thinking of Liu Xiaomei's buns, Yan Fang was a little hungry. It's just past noon, and it's time for dinner. Yan Fang opened his mouth and said, "Let's find a restaurant to fill our stomachs first."

Mo Sisi responded: "Okay, go to Yuelai Building." ”

Before going down the mountain, Mo Sisi had heard his family mention it to his fellow men in Shangzhou, and the most famous restaurant in Shangzhou City was Yuelai Building.

This time I have a rare opportunity to come to Shangzhou City, so I naturally want to try the craftsmanship of the master of Yuelailou.

...

This Yuelai Building is on Shanghe Street, and you can see the eye-catching signboard engraved with the three words of Yuelai Building at the end of the street.

The two walked straight in, and found that the decoration of this Yuelai Building was very luxurious, the hall was paved with floor tiles, and there was an ebony plaque hanging in the center, and the plaque was framed with four gilt characters "Perch Fat", and there was a line of small characters in the lower right corner: "Emperor Longqing Inscription".

Longqing is the era name of the last emperor of Great Chu. And this Emperor Longqing is the father of the now reigning Emperor Hongzhi.

This Yuelai Building can become the largest restaurant in Shangzhou City, half of which is due to this plaque. The so-called branding of the emperor is this truth.

Yan Fang and Mo Sisi found an empty table in the hall and sat down, found the shopkeeper and ordered a few signature dishes, and asked for a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts.

There are a lot of people who come to Yuelailou to eat, and the food is naturally very slow, and the two of them drink wine with peanuts and rice to kill the time of waiting for the food.

Although this Mo Sisi is a daughter's family, her alcohol addiction is no less than Yan Fang's, and she has three cups of hard work for a while, and her little face is flushed.

Yan Fang looked at the slightly drunk girl in front of him, and just wanted to laugh at her, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a discussion from the table on the left.

"Tao Qianyan, you just ransacked Yang Yuanwai's house yesterday, and now the government is arresting you everywhere, if you don't find a place to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, you dare to eat and drink in Yuelai Building, it's not a small courage." ”

The big man with a hideous scar on his face said to a thin white-robed man at the same table.

The man named Tao Qianyan had a pair of slender fox eyes, and said disdainfully: "I have investigated before I start, and I have selected those who have money and no background, and such a rich man can't invite any masters."

With my cultivation of the ninth layer of condensation and my light skills, I am not free to come and go in front of ordinary officials. ”

The scarred man didn't speak again, thinking that he also agreed with Tao Qianyan's opinion.

Yan Fang had been listening attentively to the conversation between the two, and was a little surprised when he heard that the white-robed fox-eyed man was Tao Qianyan, but then the corners of his mouth raised an arc, and he glanced at Mo Sisi on the opposite side.

This Tao Qianxian is a well-known Jiangyang thief in Shangzhou, Yan Fang and Mo Sisi took on a few tasks against Shangzhou this time, and one of them is to capture Tao Qianyan.

After another cup of tea, the shopkeeper came up with a plate of steamed sea bass.

"Guest, your steamed sea bass. ”

This steamed sea bass is the signature dish of Yuelai Building, and Emperor Longqing also tasted this dish and inscribed the plaque of "sea bass is fat".

The aroma of the fish mixed with the scent of ginger and green onions makes you feel appetizing.

Mo Sisi raised his chopsticks and was about to taste the delicacy that the emperor also praised, but before the chopsticks touched the fish, they stopped in mid-air.

"Little two, check out. The peach Qianyan said coldly, took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it on the table, and did not say hello to the scarred man who was still drinking at the same table, got up and left.

Yan Fang and Mo Sisi didn't care about tasting the delicious food, and followed this peach thousand out of Yuelai Building.

After this Tao Qianyan got out of the restaurant, he did not walk along Shanghe Street, but turned into a dead end, and the road ahead was already impassable, this Tao Qianyan suddenly turned around and said coldly: "Don't hide, come out, I noticed it when I just came out of Yuelai Building." ”

This Tao Qianyan has experience in the rivers and lakes, and he found out that someone was following him early on, but after all, he was just a person in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't see the depth of cultivation of Yan Fang and Mo Sisi, who didn't see the breath, and regarded them as ordinary officials, and deliberately turned to this dead end, thinking of finding a secluded place to solve the two people who were stalking.

Yan Fang and Mo Sisi, who were originally hiding in the corner, were slightly taken aback when they heard this, but they immediately stood out, and with their strength, it can be said that they are nine out of ten against Tao Qianyan, and there is no need to sneak attack.

The peach thousand was taken aback when she saw that it was a pair of young boys and girls who were following her, but then she showed a cruel smile, squinted a pair of fox eyes and said coldly: "You two little dolls throw themselves into the idea, no wonder I am ruthless." ”

As soon as the words fell, he picked up a short stick that had just escaped from his arms and rushed towards the two. This guy is very good, but in an instant, he walked nearly ten zhang.

Seeing that the iron rod glowing with cold light was about to touch Yan Fang's shirt, at this time, a sudden change occurred, and Mo Sisi on the side made a trick, and a huge chessboard phantom instantly appeared, like an unfolded net trapping the peach Qianyan who was waving the iron rod and showing a fierce light.

But this peach Qianyan is also a decisive person, seeing that the situation is not right, he immediately called the secret method that will damage Shouyuan, his white face instantly turned red, and the green tendons were raised, a pair of fox eyes were bloodshot, and he broke free from the shackles in an instant, but after getting out of trouble, he did not continue to fight hard but turned around and ran.
