The weather suddenly got better. The next day, Shen Yun and Elder Wu continued to search downstream. When it was almost noon, the two walked into a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Shen Yun used his divine sense to probe the way first, so he could still hold himself. Elder Wu stood at the mouth of the valley, looking at the green grass in front of him, only to feel suddenly enlightened, his eyes were shining, and he excitedly stroked his palms and shouted: "Lord, I found it! I found it! This is simply a natural horse farm made in heaven!"

The distance from the Great Zhuangzi is not far either. After crossing the river, you only need to walk about thirty miles downstream.

So, that's it. On the same day, Shen Yun and Elder Wu returned to Zhuangzi, held a meeting of elders, and announced that they would build a horse farm.

Ziber is familiar with this area. When he heard that the horse farm was located in the valley across the river, he immediately laughed and said, "That area is terra nullius. ”

That's even better. According to the regulations of the Immortal Court, the ownerless land can be purchased directly from the Immortal Mansion. As we all know, the sale of land in Xianfu must be graded first. According to the good and bad of the land itself, it is divided into ten grades. The grade of each piece of land is not recorded, and must be determined on the spot by the master who is in charge of the matter.

Therefore, the most critical person in the sale of land in Xianfu is the master book.

As long as he gives enough money to the master book, except for the location of the Xianfu Yamen, there is no land in the jurisdiction that he does not dare to sell.

Therefore, as long as you are willing to pay for the money, that valley can definitely be bought.

Ziber immediately proposed to buy all the area.

The other elders agreed. Many of them, when they were in Xiandu before, had dealt with Xianfu in this regard. The old men in the immortal mansion in the immortal capital have a strange temper, the more you can't wait to buy any piece of land, the more they will sit on the ground and raise the price. Something like that, which is obviously dry land, is classified as a paddy field, and they have done it completely. If you clearly want to buy that valley, even if you spend a lot of money to put it in the hands of the old men in Xiandu, and the wasteland that has not been reclaimed, it will be determined to be a mine nine times out of ten. They don't know if the old men in the Immortal Mansion here are also so temperamental. However, thinking that the world is as black as a crow, I think it is better to take precautions in advance.

Shen Yun took their suggestion and left the matter to the Council of Elders: Qi Bo was in charge of the money, Elder Wu was in charge of the accounts, Elder Li was in charge of negotiating with the Immortal Mansion, and the rest were assisting Elder Li.

Elder Li has been a workshop owner in Xiandu for more than 20 years. I don't know how many of the fields and properties that passed through his hands. Yes, he himself was full of confidence, and Shen Yun was also very relieved.

In the end, Shen Yun announced that the horse farm was set up as his private property. Therefore, all the expenses for buying land came out of his private account. He had only one request, that he buy the valley anyway.

"Yes. Qi Bo and the others got up one after another to receive the order.

After the meeting was dismissed, after everyone had left, Shen Yun said to Qi Bo, "For these two days, I want to retreat. This retreat is very important, and no matter what is happening outside, it must not disturb me. Also, there are some meals stored in the storage bag, and if you don't finish them, they will be wasted. Therefore, there is no need to prepare food for me for these two days. ”

Qi Bo has suffered for half his life and cherishes food very much. Although he no longer lacks food and clothing, he is still very frugal. Usually, overnight meals are still reluctant to throw away, and they will be heated and eaten for breakfast.

Hearing this, he did not persuade him, and solemnly clenched his fists in response: "Yes." ”

After Shen Yun finished explaining, he returned to the main courtyard and sealed the courtyard door.

In fact, the so-called retreat is nothing more than a façade. In the dead of night, he changed into night clothes, jumped a few times, left Zhuangzi, and headed for the provincial capital.

Although Uncle Li did not say anything in the last letter, what he said at the end seemed to mean something. He decided to take a trip to the West Mountains.

Leap forward. During this time, he encountered a black-clad guard.

There were five people in total. Shen Yun was surprised to find that his eyesight had skyrocketed a lot. On a moonless night, he could actually tell at a glance that the one who was the first of them was a third-layer cultivator of Jindan!

Needless to say, it's the gray gas again. Because before the Five Elements Spiritual Qi and the Yin Qi in the dantian were fully fused into gray gas, he could only see the cultivation realm of the monks at the third level and below the foundation building.

Another happy event. Shen Yun crouched on the treetops and smiled silently.

The rest of the four were all Foundation Realm monks.

Looking at the direction of their journey, it should be to Chunwang County.

He guessed that these guys were going to the banks of the Sweetwater River.

There is a formation in Zhuangzi to guard, and it is hundreds of miles away from the incident point, so there is no worry for the time being. Therefore, he had no intention of turning back, and after avoiding this passer-by, he continued to hurry.

When the day is about to dawn, we will arrive at the foot of the western mountain.

According to his memory, Shen Yun went to the grove where he met Li Tang back then.

The tree where Li Tang first appeared is still there.

It stood in the mist and swayed gently with the morning breeze, the leaves rustling as if to say, "You're finally here." I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Shen Yun only felt that his throat was a little blocked, so he took a deep breath and wiped his face.

The palms of both palms were wet. It's all tears.

It was also five days before the date of Uncle Li's signature letter. Combined with the dung spraying of those black-clothed guards, he knew that Uncle Li should have died. For monks above the Jindan realm, the path disappears when they die, and everything is invisible. Therefore, he dismissed the idea of going to the East China Sea for reinforcements.

Regardless of whether he over-interpreted the words in the letter, Shen Yun first took out the sacrifices, incense candles and other things from the treasure bag, set up the altar under the tree, and set up a sacrifice to Uncle Li.

It is different from the aftermath of the cooking master, which all followed the common etiquette. Because Uncle Li regarded himself as a disciple of the Heavenly God Sect until his death, Shen Yun used the sacrificial rites of the Heavenly God Sect mentioned by the ancestor in the jade slip.

The small altar sits west to east, lined up on it, and three bowls of water are placed.

Shen Yun lit three sticks of incense, first raised them above his head with both hands, faced the altar, bowed to the end, and sang softly in his mouth: "Today, the soul of a disciple of the Heavenly God Sect has returned to the Divine Mountain, and I implore all the gods to shelter their souls along the way, and they are as urgent as the law." ”

After three strokes, the chanting is finished. He squatted down and drew circles on the three bowls of water from left to right, from left to right.

Neither more nor less, each bowl of water is first drawn three circles with the hand, and then three circles with the backhand.

At the same time, his mouth softly sang Uncle Li's name and teacher's inheritance.

This is the second step of the sacrifice: the soul is called.

After three times, the soul shouting is complete.

Shen Yun followed the steps in the jade slip and began to "send souls".

Inserting a fragrance in front of the three bowls of clear water in turn, he first straightened his clothes, and then, he shook it to the end, then stood up straight, faced due east, stepped on the gang, and threw out a flowing cloud sleeve with his left hand, and prayed in his mouth: "Turn into a long wind and send Uncle Li's soul back to Shenshan." Immediately after that, his right hand threw out a flowing cloud sleeve and prayed again: "Uncle Li's soul returns to the sacred mountain and will be at peace forever." This time, there was no blessing method, but he hugged his sleeves, knelt down in front of the altar, and seriously kowtowed three times - this is the "soul dance" of the inner sect of the Heavenly God Sect. It's a pity that Shen Yun was born with no dancing skills, and after studying temporarily, he practiced in the main courtyard for nearly an hour, but he was still not satisfied. In the end, he had an idea, like practicing boxing, and turned it into moves on his feet and hands, first practicing footwork, and then practicing it together with the flowing cloud sleeves and magic tricks in his hands, but the more he practiced, the more it looked like that.

After the three prostrations, the salute is complete.

Shen Yun raised his head, only to see the green smoke on the three sticks of incense swaying, converging into a wisp the thickness of a little finger directly above the altar, heading due east.

And at this time, the morning breeze in the mountains is obviously hitting the south!

Shen Yun sat on his knees, dumbfounded.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound from the bottom of the tree.
