Chapter 41, Lonely Empty Mountain
Li Junxian met the "Flowing Frost Sword Immortal" Lu Huoli in the dense forest in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, he knew that he was invincible, so after raising three swords, he quickly jumped up, and retreated with light skills. After Li Junxian escaped, Mao Jiaojiao complained about her second brother without loss. According to Mao Jiaojiao's thoughts, since the second brother Lu Huoli's swordsmanship is much higher than Li Junxian's, why don't you catch the other party back, one can relieve the hatred in her heart, and the other can also let her practice the "art of harmony" with Li Junxian again.
However, Lu Huo didn't listen, and when he heard it, his heart suddenly became angry, and he reprimanded Mao Jiaojiao, and finally said:
The second brother traveled thousands of miles from Xiao State in the north to Chang'an, this Qianguo, and he came here for a big event. I didn't let you come at the beginning, but you wanted to follow! Now it's good, you can come, but if you are so impatient and lonely, you can't ......go around 'hunting for beauty' Settle down a bit?!"
Mao Jiaojiao pouted and said, "Second brother, you came to find your sword, I came to find my man, we go our own way, and there is no impact on each other!"
At this time, the time is about to end, the time is the beginning, and between heaven and earth, it is the time when the yin energy is at its peak and the yuan yang is at its weakest. I saw that the bright moon in the sky had gradually slanted to the west, and the empty mountains in the distance were lonely, and a few nightingales cries came faintly from time to time. Lu Huoli looked at Mao Jiaojiao's body, and saw that although her right leg was a little inconvenient to walk, it was an old disease, and she was not injured, so he let go of it.
Lu Huoli shook his head, he stepped forward and patted Mao Jiaojiao's shoulder, and the two continued to walk south, continuing to talk as they walked.
Lu Huoli said: "Ninth sister, having said that, however, we still have to get down to business! Since we came to this Chang'an City, it has been more than half a month. In the past 20 days, the second brother has searched everywhere, but he still can't find any news about Xuanhuang Sword. The second brother was originally counting on you to help find it, but you were good, not only did you not help, but you also caused trouble everywhere......"
Mao Jiaojiao said aggrievedly: "Second brother...... The second brother knows that the ninth sister's cultivation is this 'method of harmony', and if the ninth sister's body does not have a man's essence input for a long time, the ninth sister's cultivation will inevitably be greatly damaged......"
Lu Huoli sighed: "But...... This Chang'an City is not as good as our Xiao Guo's Shangjing, there are many people here, if the second brother hadn't arrived in time just now, would you still have a pair of cat legs on your body?"
Mao Jiaojiao recalled the "coincidental encounter" between Fang Cai and Li Junxian, and felt frightened. She really never expected that such a sloppy and unkempt man would be so good at swordsmanship and light skills! From the first time she saw him, she tried her best to use her charms, not wanting the other party to be fascinated by herself, but suddenly he slapped at herself, and then took out his sword, raised it vertically, and then slashed out again...... In her memory, the other party only used less than three swordsmanship, and her beautiful legs were about to be cut off by him! If it weren't for his second brother Lu Huoli returning tonight, she really didn't know what fate she would face next.
"Second brother, what do you say this Li Junxian is...... The great general, or the descendant of Emperor Taizong of the Qianguo Kingdom, should be very rich! Why does he look so depressed tonight? Don't say that he is a great general, I think he looks like a wandering beggar!" Mao Jiaojiao asked again.
Lu Huoli couldn't help but laugh and said: "My ninth sister, you almost died under this person tonight, but you still have the heart to care about him!"
Mao Jiaojiao smiled: "I'm just curious, I suffered such a big loss from this person tonight, and one day I will come back from him to 'make up'......! I'll have to ask him about it!"
Lu Huoli naturally didn't know the true meaning of "making up" in his sister-in-law's words, and he also said that Mao Jiaojiao almost died under Li Junxian's sword tonight, and he had a grudge in his heart, and he would go to him for revenge in the future. At this time, the moon was bright and clean, the sound of insects came from time to time, the grass blades under his feet were continuous, the moonlight in front of him was like water, the two walked south, he had nothing to do, and he told Mao Jiaojiao about the past things of him and Li Junxian.
There have been many disputes between Xiao and Qian, and in the past 30 years, there have been no less than 20 large and small battles. Lu Huoli and Li Junxian are both famous generals of the two armies, and they have long heard their names from each other. Ten years ago, Lu Huoli led 100,000 flying cavalry to the south to attack Qian, and met an army of 140,000 sent by Qianguo in Zhuozhou City. One of the leading generals was Li Junxian, the general of the Zuo Wuwei. The two fought in front of the battle, and fought for no less than 300 rounds, and they did not know the winner or loser. At that time, Lu Huoli's cultivation of Frost Sword Qi had not yet broken through the barrier, and he had the intention to test Li Junxian's swordsmanship, so he fought in front of the battle, relying on the long sword in his hand, but as for the true qi in his body, he pretended to keep it.
After the two fought repeatedly, each of them had a sympathy for each other, but Lu Huoli's "Flowing Frost Sword Technique" was slightly better after all. After Lu Huoli suddenly rose from the air in front of the horse and used his life's stunt "Bright Lonely Moon", Li Junxian was stumbling left and right, and his life was in danger. However, after Lu Huo centrifuged his love, and after the long sword drew a semicircle in the air, the ten thousand points of cold light converged and condensed, and at that time, Li Jun was envious of this gap, and hurriedly hit the horse to turn around, and the people and horses galloped together, which barely escaped......
Mao Jiaojiao listened with relish, and then interjected and asked: "Second brother, it seems that you have spared that Li Junxian at least twice! The ninth sister is really puzzled in her heart, why do you always have to show mercy to him every time?"
Lu Huoli looked up to the sky and sighed: "Don't say it's you, even the second brother himself can't figure it out, why every time I see him, I always have a sense of meeting old friends, perhaps, he met me in his previous life, but I don't know?"
Mao Jiaojiao said with a smile: "In his previous life, the second brother is really good at laughing! The second brother has been practicing in the world for 1,200 years, even if it is his previous life, how many rounds of past lives must it be! Besides, even if this Li Junxian has met the second brother in a certain round of his previous life, the second brother has seen not 10,000 but 8,000 human beings in the past 1,200 years, right? Where can you still recognize him?"
Lu Huoli looked up at the cold moonlight above his head, as if he was recalling the past time, and only heard him say thoughtfully: "Ninth sister, you are also a demon who has practiced for thousands of years, and you should know the secrets of my demon clan." According to Kunlun Yuansheng's "Yuankong Good Record", most of my demon clan are cultivated by beasts. If the beast clan can gather the aura of heaven and earth, it will be able to fly into a monster after one Jiazi, and it will be possible to soar into a spirit after two Jiazi, but if it is cultivated to the realm of becoming a demon, it will take at least ten Jiazi. Therefore, this kind of cultivation is against the way of heaven, and every time we ascend, we have to cross the calamity...... Six hundred years ago, it was the time when I ascended to the demon and turned into a demon. That night the lightning and thunder, the heavy rain poured, I to avoid the catastrophe, so I hid in the valley deep forest, but I never thought that the heavy rain and slippery road, I ran away, but accidentally fell into the hunter's trap. The hunter, taking advantage of the fact that I was weak and weak, bound my limbs, took me home, and was about to spend a moment by slaughtering my flesh and skin, and sold it in the market for money. But a young man ran out of his house, and while the hunter was going to bed, he secretly let me go......"
Lu Huoli couldn't help but feel quite sentimental when he thought back to the past, and he sighed again: "Ahem...... If it weren't for that young man, I am afraid that this body of flesh and skin for my brother would have already entered the mouths of those human races! Looking back now, the face of that young man is vaguely similar to the Li Junxian I saw today......
Mao Jiaojiao was surprised: "There is such a strange thing, second brother, the young man you are talking about must be the son of Orion." Could it be that the son of Orion six hundred years ago was this Li Junxian's previous life, and he also saved the life of his second brother?"
Lu Huoli shook his head again and said, "The benefactor six hundred years ago has long since died at this time. Whether he is reincarnated as Li Junxian or not, it cannot be determined whether he is a brother. But...... Even if he Li Junxian is the reincarnation of my Engong, he is already a reincarnated person after all. Can this previous life and the next life be regarded as the same person? Now that Li Junxian and I are enemies on the battlefield, each is his own master, and if we meet again in the future, I will definitely not be soft on him as a brother!"
Mao Jiaojiao thought about it after hearing this, and then said with some disgust: "Second brother, you have said so much, but you haven't gotten to the point yet! Why is Li Junxian, whom I saw tonight, so sloppy? Since he is a descendant of the emperor, how can he be so poor that he can't even afford a good piece of clothing? Could it be that the Great Qianguo has reached this point of poverty, and the princes are all as depressed as beggars?"
Lu Huoli hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Although Li Junxian is a descendant of Taizong, he is not a prince, after all, it has been several generations, and at present, he is at most a distant relative of the emperor of the Qianguo dynasty." Moreover, this person's luck is really not very good, I heard that he was ordered by the emperor to cut off his official position two months ago because of his collusion with the prince to plot a rebellion, and he was also put in prison, and he almost lost his life......"
"Ah......" Mao Jiaojiao said in surprise: "I can't imagine that this person is still so unlucky! It's just that he is not a good relative of the emperor, why should he rebel?......!" Does he still want to be the emperor himself?"
Lu Huoli shook his head and sighed: "I don't know about this, but as far as I know, this Li Junxian doesn't look like a rebel!
Mao Jiaojiao asked: "That old emperor Li Chongsheng of Daqian? Didn't the second brother say that he was a good emperor? How could he harm Zhongliang?"
Lu Huoli said: "The ninth sister doesn't know, the old emperor was diligent in politics when he was young, and he was like a good emperor. It's a pity that the years are not forgiving, and now Li Chongsheng, who has been sitting on the dragon chair for more than 70 years, is already old and faint, and he spends his days indulging in pleasures and ignoring the government and politics, and there is nothing big in his eyes! I heard that the emperor of the current Qianguo court can only have an early ...... every 10 days."
Mao Jiaojiao said: "It was only ten days before the last early dynasty? This old emperor is too lazy, right? The emperor of our Xiao Kingdom has to go to court every day!"
Lu Huoli sighed: "It's not just that you don't go to the court! This old emperor went south to the south of the Yangtze River seven or eight times, wasting the people's money, and also built palaces many times, which cost the state a lot. According to the detailed report, today's Daqian country is plagued by drought outside, and the treasury is empty inside. After the crown prince was deposed, the old emperor refused to establish a prince, and the princes competed to form a party and dump their own factions.
......
The two of them walked all the way to the south, walking slowly, and before they knew it, they had walked more than 20 miles, and when Lu Huoli saw Mao Jiaojiao walking, his right leg was a little stiff, and he asked with concern:
"Ninth sister, isn't your leg injury still healed?"
Mao Jiaojiao sighed: "Okay, it's good, it's just that it's still not very easy to walk! cough! It's also the little sister's carelessness, I didn't expect that the kid's sword qi contained the supreme Dao method at the beginning, and now although the wound has long been healed, the sword qi remains in the meridians, and there is always a burning sensation on the legs......
"Come on...... Second brother, let's carry you away!" Lu Huoli said softly.
"Second brother...... How does this make it?" Mao Jiaojiao said embarrassedly.
"Ninth sister, you forgot, last time, you were cut by Ye Changfeng's kid with a sword, and it was the second brother who carried you home. ”
"Thirty years ago, second brother still remembers!" Mao Jiaojiao whispered, then obediently lay on Lu Huoli's back, let him perform light skills, and strode south.
......
......
Almost at the same time, Li Junxian took advantage of the night to rush back to the Xuandu Temple in the west of Chang'an City.
He hurriedly walked into the depths of the peach grove in the back garden, and walked into the peach blossom building without knocking on the door. His senior brother Xuandu Guan Master Li Chunfeng was sitting quietly on the futon at this time, his eyes seemed to be closed, as if he was meditating and doing exercises, and he seemed to be sleeping with a turtle breath.
Li Junxian picked up a big tea bowl on the table, there was still half a bowl of coarse tea left in the bowl, he picked up the bowl and drank a fine light, he couldn't quench his thirst, and poured three bowls of tea in succession, and drank it all in one go, and then said to Li Chunfeng:
"Brother Dao, who do you guess I met outside the South City Gate tonight?"
Li Chunfeng's eyebrows moved, his eyes still seemed to be closed, and he said indifferently:
"Isn't it just a kitten and an old deer?"
"A kitten?" Li Junxian immediately thought that the "kitten" that the senior brother was talking about must be the Mao Jiaojiao who charmed the soul, but who was that old deer? He immediately asked:
"Could it be...... That 'Flowing Frost Sword Immortal' who shook the rivers and lakes was actually an old deer?"
"Hmph......" Li Chunfeng sneered: "He is an old deer, and besides, six hundred years ago, you saved him with your own hands!"
