As the sun sets, the afterglow falls into the sky, brilliant and beautiful. A gentle breeze blows, and the mountains are filled with a chill in late autumn.

Li Ruoxian stood quietly in front of the cave, his heart was empty, and he forgot about things and me, as if he was one with all things in the mountain. True Qi runs through the body on its own, and although it cannot remove the residual poison, it is enough to ward off the cold.

I don't know how long it took, Li Ruoxian let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly felt refreshed. It's really a blessing and a curse, this time she was injured, she actually had an epiphany in this silent mountain, and entered the artistic conception of forgetting things and me, so that Qinglian's heart method broke through to the fifth layer, but the true qi was released to form a sword qi.

"I forget about things, it's not bad! Being able to immerse yourself in the artistic conception and cultivate at such an age is really terrifying!" At this time, the shopkeeper walked out of the bushes not far away, looking old-fashioned.

Li Ruoxian glanced at the shopkeeper, and was about to fight-for-tat, but found that his left arm was injured, although it had been bandaged, there was still blood oozing out, so he changed his tone and asked, "How did you get hurt?"

The shopkeeper seemed to be fine, and said with a smile: "I was accidentally scratched by a branch." ”

Li Ruoxian knew that he didn't want to say, so he didn't ask anymore.

Shopkeeper walked to Li Ruoxian's side, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to her, and said, "There are two Righteous Qi Pills here, one is enough to remove the residual poison from your body, and the other is left for the future just in case." ”

Li Ruoxian's face changed slightly, but she did not hesitate. She took the small porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and poured out a crystal white pill. Then, she put the pill into her mouth, and in an instant, her mouth and nose were filled with a refreshing fragrance, and the cool feeling flowed down her throat and through the blood, spreading to every pore of her body.

Zhengqi Dan is made of Tianshan Snow Lotus as the main ingredient, and then refined with many precious medicinal materials such as Cordyceps, Millennium Ginseng, and Wild Ganoderma lucidum as auxiliary materials. Li Ruoxian had heard her master mention the Taoist elixir Zhengqi Pill, so she naturally knew how precious it was, and she couldn't help but feel incredible for the second child of this shop.

Li Ruoxian took a deep breath, calmed down, stuffed the cork, handed the small porcelain bottle back, and said, "You should keep this one for yourself!"

The shopkeeper didn't pick up the small porcelain vase, a lewd smile appeared on his face, and said: "A big beauty like you, I almost even moved my heart, if someone plots again, I'm afraid it will be ......."

At this time, the surrounding air suddenly condensed, and a chill struck, Li Ruoxian's face sank like water, and his eyes were cold.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but shudder, and quickly changed his words: "You must have some doubts in your heart, I'll tell you this, how about it?"

Li Ruoxian snorted coldly, but he didn't talk.

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and continued: "The first thing, the reason why those people didn't chase here is because this is the back mountain of the Shangqing Taiping Palace, and they can't get in; the second thing, this righteous qi pill is won by me from a bet with the bull-nosed palm sect of the Shangqing Taiping Palace, the bet is three, I naturally want to keep one for myself; the third thing, I work in the Qingyuan Inn, just to earn some entanglement, it's as simple as that." ”

Li Ruoxian nodded slightly, and her expression calmed down a lot.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and said casually: "You must be very grateful to me at this moment, if you promise ...... by yourself" Before he finished speaking, a sharp gaze shot at him, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Just kidding! Just kidding!"

When night fell, Li Ruoxian went into the cave to rest. The shopkeeper meditated outside the cave very interestingly, closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, and his true qi was running all over his body, but he was not afraid of the cold.

In the Qingyuan Inn, under the flickering candlelight, there was a mess. The shopkeeper and the two guys were covered in injuries and had sad faces, but they were helpless.

Years of war, the world is declining, and the most bitter people are ordinary people.

The shopkeeper paid the two men wages, and gave each of them an extra five taels of silver, and sighed: "This shop can't be opened, you pack your luggage, and hurry out of the city early tomorrow morning!" After that, he patted the two of them on the shoulder, and turned around and went back to the room.

Looking at the limping lonely figure, an indescribable desolation welled up in my heart. The two guys' eyes were full of tears, but they couldn't even say a word of comfort.

Not saying does not mean not knowing, and being silent does not mean accepting. But even if you know, even if you don't want to accept it, what can you do? Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. There is too much helplessness and sorrow that can only be buried deep in the bottom of my heart.

The lights were bright in a house in Zhongnan County, and the white-clothed man sat on a Taishi chair, looking angry and ruined. The white-clothed son is named Zhao Wenshan, the only son of the Zhao family, the richest man in Zhongnan County, and he spent money to buy an official and became the county lieutenant of the county, and even the Jin people gave him a few thin noodles. This time, he let a shopkeeper do a bad thing, and he also suffered a dumb loss in Zhongnanshan, and he was really annoyed in his heart.

"Childe, the shopkeeper of the Qingyuan Inn said that the kid was introduced to work by a couple in Zhangjia Village in the east of the city, and he lived in the back mountain of the Taiping Palace in the Shangqing Dynasty. A blue-shirted man with a meaty face replied.

Zhao Wenshan's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "Don't let go of any of the people related to that kid." Let Wang Hu do it, the old rules. ”

The blue-shirted man nodded and left.

"Dare to go against me, so that you can't survive, you can't die. Spend the rest of your life in pain and remorse!" muttered a vicious voice.

The red sun is rising, and its path is bright. Quiet and peaceful in the quiet mountains.

A warm sun shone on the face of the shopkeeper, warm and comfortable. Suddenly, a fierce murderous aura struck. The moment the shopkeeper opened his eyes, his toes swept backwards with a light tap, and then he saw that it was Li Ruoxian who attacked with a palm as a sword.

The shopkeeper was just about to speak, but Li Ruoxian gave him a chance to speak, his body fluttered, like a shadow, unfolding the Qinglian swordsmanship, like a fairy in the dust, beautiful. In a few breaths, thirteen moves have been attacked.

The shopkeeper looked innocent, couldn't cry or laugh, and could only be forced to accept the offer.

Li Ruoxian's sword is like a rainbow, light and elegant, there is a faint condensation of true qi between the palms and fingers, and the moves are like flowing water, and the offense and defense are transformed, without a trace.

The shopkeeper's eyes were calm, without a trace of waves, and he also used his palm as a sword, attacking against attacking, attacking and defending, and wandering in the battle circle with a strange trajectory. Every move to attack, it seems that according to precise calculations, he can always hit the opponent's vital point with half a move in advance, and several times forced Li Ruoxian to temporarily change his moves.

Li Ruoxian was secretly frightened, this shopkeeper seemed to have seen through her swordsmanship, and she could always take the sword sideways, and the last to come first. But despite this, she has the upper hand, and her sword aura is extremely sharp, and she can hurt people invisibly. There is a gap in the cultivation realm between the two.
