After Li Longyan returned home, after having dinner and resting for half an hour, he began to practice.

This breath path exercise, he has now practiced to the fourth realm. The thickness of his original internal force had already exceeded the third level by a lot, and after a few months of cultivation, he had broken through the fourth major level.

The fifth realm is much more important and difficult than the previous ones, and it is necessary to gradually open up the twelve permanent veins and the eight meridians and acupoints of the strange meridians in order to achieve success. Li Longyan himself estimated that if he really wanted to break through this threshold, it would be five years at the slow rate and four years at the fastest. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry, and according to the instructions of the exercises, he practiced for an hour every morning and evening, step by step.

His Li Jiatang's Wind Chopping Palm Technique, combined with the Purple Fire Divine Technique, originally complemented each other, but this Breath Dao Technique did not have much conflict with the Wind Chopping Palm Technique. Although it cannot fully exert the power of the Wind Chopping Palm Technique, this technique itself can increase strength and can be said to make up for most of the shortcomings.

An hour later, the exercise was completed. He moved his muscles and bones, came to the martial arts hall, took out a Fang Tian painting halberd from the weapon rack, and waved it casually. This Fang Tianhua halberd weighed seventy-two catties, which was one of the super heavy weapons, but when he danced, it was as light as a wooden stick, and he was very comfortable.

After practicing for a while, he was quite pleased with his strength, and inserted the iron halberd back into the weapon rack.

Turning around, they suddenly saw a big bow standing in the corner of the wall, which was a gift from the old Ji family when they were in Longyang Village. Li Longyan walked over and held the bow in his hand, stroked it for a while, recalling his childhood in the north, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Wang San, Cui Wu, Zhao Nan, Ji Fei, these friends, are they okay now?

Although he returned to Jiangnan and made new friends, in Li Longyan's heart, his childhood partner is the deepest and purest friendship.

After dinner, his parents went to visit his relatives, and he went back to the house and read a book on the bed for a while, and suddenly remembered what happened to Yuan Ye, and thought that this guy followed his master to an unknown place, and that nothing would go wrong.

According to the innkeeper, Old Man Xin was called away by two middle-aged people. He has not recovered from his injuries, and leaving in such a hurry should be an extremely important matter, but why did he leave a note for Yuan Ye, did he want Yuan Ye to participate in it?

This kind of thing of the people in the rivers and lakes is difficult to tell clearly, it is impossible to say whether it is good or bad, in case there is any kind of fight and vendetta, Yuan Ye mixed in it for no reason, but it is too wrong.

Thinking of this, Li Longyan couldn't sit still. He rolled over and got out of bed, leaving a note for his parents, saying that he was going to the west of the city. I wanted to go out, so I came back, picked up the protective soft armor from the bedside and put it on inside, and put on black tight clothes on the outside, and then went out.

The big city of Hangzhou is prosperous and lively, and at night, the streets are also brightly lit. Restaurants, shops, teahouses, and silk villages are hung with lights, reflecting the glory of the city. Li Longyan walked on Chengxi Avenue while looking left and right to see where Yuan Ye's signal was left.

According to the rules set by the first few people, if you leave a signal, you should leave a signal in a conspicuous place on the side of the road, such as a big tree, a stone pillar, a tall courtyard wall, etc., and others will not be able to read it anyway, so as to make it easier for others to find it. Li Longyan walked out of Sanlidi along the street, and sure enough, he found a signal pattern on a courtyard wall.

He came closer and looked at it for a long time, identified the place, was slightly startled, and said secretly: "I actually went out of the city, and I am still in Heilonggang, seven miles outside the city, what are you doing in such a remote place?"

The graph is marked with a memorable time, which is an hour ago. Li Longyan quickened his pace, got out of the city gate, and ran towards Heilonggang.

At this time, he was already extremely skillful, and he had no scruples outside the city, and he was able to exert it to his heart's content. In the moonlight, looking at his figure, like a galloping horse, like a jaguar, swift and incoherent, a black figure was advancing in the wilderness, and in an instant it disappeared into the deep mountains.

Heilonggang is a small mountain forest in the west of Hangzhou, which is rarely visited on weekdays, and it is even more desolate and desolate at night. Li Longyan rushed here, and saw that the surrounding hills and dense forests were dark and dreary, and there was no one in sight. He came to a high ground, jumped on a big tree, looked around, and saw a faint light shining out a hundred feet away from the southwest.

He jumped off the tree, slowed his steps, and hurried all the way over. When he reached the light of about ten feet, he lowered his body, crept through the woods and rocks, and advanced four or five feet, and he could clearly hear the voice of a person in front of him, and now he lay behind a large mound of earth and watched.

In front was a small open space in the woods, with a torch on each side. In the middle of the woods stood two men, both of whom were in their fifties, one with a thin body with deep-set eyes and drooping lips, and the other ordinary with a slight beard under his chin.

Opposite them, Old Man Xin sat on a large rock, holding a branch in his hand, gasping slightly, occasionally coughing or two.

When I looked into the distance, I saw Yuan Ye lying on the grass three or four feet away, motionless, I don't know if he was injured or pointed at the acupoint.

Li Longyan was secretly shocked in his heart, he knew that Yuan Ye was here, it might not be a good thing, but now it is indeed the case. He bowed down and looked at the three men in the room, listening intently to see what was going on.

I only heard the thin old man say: "Senior Brother Xin, I have been talking for a long time just now, and this kid can't stay." He now knows who you are, and he knows the contact signal in our door, and if he does not remove it, he is afraid that it will be unfavorable to his religion. ”

The short-bearded middle-aged man also said: "Senior Brother Liang is right, after this kid knew the name of this sect, he resolutely refused to join the sect, and if you want to accept him as an apprentice, it is absolutely impossible." Although he has good qualifications, he has no intention of belonging to this religion, and if he is spared, it will be a disaster in the future. ”

Old Man Xin pondered for a long time and said, "The reputation of this sect has always been bad, so it's no wonder that he refuses to join the sect. However, he saved me twice, and if he were killed, he would have a bad conscience. In my opinion, it is better to spare his life, and let's blind him so that he will not be able to recognize the secret code in my religion in the future. ”

When Li Longyan heard this, his heart was shocked again, and at the same time, a raging anger rose. Yuan Ye had saved the life of this old man twice, and took care of him like a relative, but this old man even wanted to blind him in the eyes and make him a waste man all his life, which was really ungrateful and cold by nature.

The thin old man sneered and said, "Xin Yuanzi, a cold-blooded bone-grabbing hand, actually has a good heart. Even if he is blinded by both eyes, will he not hand-draw the shape and reveal the secret code of this religion to others? He will be blinded by us, and he will hate us to the core, and he will be desperate to take revenge on this religion. If you keep this kind of person, it will be a curse. Hehe, Senior Brother Xin, I found that your heart is getting softer and softer now, and you can't bear to do anything to people who are disrespectful to this sect, is the dignity of this sect worthless in your heart?"
