Ruan Zun and You Mei left the boundary of Taolin Town and walked on the mountain road to Taohua Mountain. ???·

The two walked side by side, and the little earth dog Bean followed them step by step with his short legs.

At this time, it was late spring. The sky was slightly overcast. It had only rained lightly in the afternoon, and the smell of dampness still lingered in the air. The ground was full of scattered peach petals, many of which had wilted.

Indeed, the peach blossoms of Peach Blossom Mountain are now in full bloom.

Although the two were in parallel, the atmosphere was slightly awkward, and neither of them seemed to know what to say. In such a dullness, the two of them each felt more depressed.

"Look, that person, is it Ruan Zun Ruan's steward who wrote that peach blossom hermitage poem that day!"

"It's him, it's him! I was watching from the side that day, it's him! The woman next to him is also the steward of the elixir warehouse next to me that day!"

"What a coincidence! I happened to have a copy of the poem, and I hurried to ask him for a seal and stamp!"

......

A few passers-by broke the silence. The people who looked up hugged each other, and walked over quickly with excitement, quite a bit of the style of those star-chasers in their previous lives.

I stamped the manuscript to the reader with it, and talked to them perfunctorily about two literary problems, a few words, and a few epigrams, and they were stunned. Then, in their envious and amazed eyes, they said goodbye and walked forward.

Twenty miles further, you will really reach the mountain road on Peach Blossom Mountain. The surrounding area is gradually sparsely populated, the fields are gradually decreasing, and among the long grass in the distance, a path leads directly to the Peach Blossom Mountain in the distance in a field of pink.

At the foot of the mountain, there are sentry towers built at the foot of the mountain, and the thick horse-resisting piles made of tree trunks are horizontally at the front one by one. Groups of Peach Blossom Mountain minions are patrolling. Nearby, there is also a village-like tent area. According to preliminary estimates, at least hundreds of bandits with spiritual power are stationed at this entrance to the mountain.

This is still a sentry point under the mountain, and it has not really entered the Peach Blossom Mountain.

"What people!" a patrol team of minions stopped Ruan Zun and the others. However, one of them had sharp eyes and immediately recognized You Meilai, and his voice immediately changed from the original fierce color to flattery: "Yo, it's You Steward, are you here to find the owner of the village again?"

"If you don't look for him, will you be looking for you!" You Mei snorted coldly.

"The tour steward went up the mountain, and the little one didn't dare to stop him. It's just ......," the minion pointed at Ruan Zun, "who is this?"

"He is also the steward of the medicine warehouse in Taolin Town. You Mei said.

"Do you have a trail certificate?" asked the minion.

"You don't even believe me anymore?" You Mei said with a hint of anger in her voice.

The minions smiled and said: "Don't blame the tour manager, now the official mansion under the mountain is not small, and the small ones are also under the order of the owner of the village, so they should be careful." This morning, there was an apprentice of the original owner of the big village, who called Shi Jin to go up the mountain, and the small ones knew him, so they let him go up. Who knew that the owner of the village was very angry about this matter, and specially sent someone to us to scold us, saying that we would put anyone on the mountain without notification. ”

"Shi is in?" You Mei was stunned. Ruan Zun was also taken aback, that guy, isn't it rumored that he is a disciple of Li Zhong, and later, I don't know what chance he had, he cultivated a strong spiritual skill, and joined the Autumn Moon League, becoming one of the young powerhouses of the Qingzhou branch of the Autumn Moon League. According to the news, he intends to return to Taohuashan in the near future to seek justice for the dead Li Zhong.

"Yes, it is indeed the young master of the Shi family. Na Luo said, "At the beginning, Li Zhong and Li Zhai taught him three years of spiritual skills before he went down the mountain. The little one will never be mistaken, and he said that he came to mourn the owner of Li Zhai, so he let him go. ”

You Mei pulled Ruan Zun over, walked back to a secluded place, and whispered: "Shi is here, this is not easy to do." I have seen this person, although he is young, but his potential is very strong, and he is stubborn and righteous, and he respects his teachers and friends the most. If we meet him on the mountain, if he insists on avenging Li Zhong, you will not be able to resist him. ”

It's good that she didn't say that, but as soon as she said this, Ruan Zun's competitive heart was aroused, and she said coldly: "What about Shi Jin, I killed his master Li Zhong and I, and I'm afraid that he won't succeed!"

Hearing what he said, "Li Zhong has been killed", the team of minions was stunned for a moment. So much so that after Ruan Zun and the others walked out of a long distance, they still hadn't come to their senses.

"What did he just say, Li Zhong was killed?" asked a minion dumbfounded.

"Did the lord of the village die at his hands?" the other minion also froze.

"Since he is the murderer of the owner of the village, why did the tour steward go with him, and he looked very familiar with his expression......

"Shhh

"You mean...... Killing the owner of the big village, is it related to the second master...... Uh, I, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything......" The minions who spoke suddenly turned pale.

"Leave the two of them alone, if they want to go up, they will go up, and if there is something, just push it to the tour steward...... We don't know anything...... "Another said.

Ruan Zun and the others kept moving along the mountain road, and the mountain road gradually became steeper, and after seven or eight checkpoints, they really entered the main peak of Peach Blossom Mountain. On the main peak, the peach blossoms bloom like the crimson clouds in the sky, which is very spectacular. Peach Blossom Village is faintly located in the huge crimson clouds.

At the later level, seeing that You Mei came with people, she basically didn't make too much difficulty, and after a little interrogation, she let it go.

While enjoying the beautiful scenery on Peach Blossom Mountain, the two of them introduced some affairs of Peach Blossom Mountain to Ruan Zun.

On the side of the road ahead, there is a half-mountain pavilion, surrounded by a peach blossom forest in most circles. In the forest, Zhou Tong, who was in the body of a tiger and wolf, hugged his chest and looked down the mountain, looking slightly troubled.

I didn't expect to meet him in the Mid-Levels Pavilion. The two hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"I'm thinking about things here, and I don't want to see you coming up the mountain from afar. Zhou Tong said, looking at You Mei with complicated eyes.

"I took him to Peach Blossom Creek and Peach Blossom Lake in the back mountain to have a look. You Mei said, "He has been in Taolin Town for so long, and he hasn't been to Peach Blossom Mountain." She tried not to look at Zhou Tong's gaze.

"Hmm. Take him around, have fun, or not. Zhou Tong said. Two days ago, I had a showdown with her, mainly because I only treated her as a sister. And Ruan Zun can fight to the death for her, his heart is commendable, and he intends to match the two of them, and persuade You Mei not to miss the lover in front of her.

Hearing this, You Mei gritted her teeth lightly, her face turned a little red, but she still changed the topic, "I heard the people under the mountain say, Shi has come in?

Zhou Tong said: "Li Zhong's mourning hall is located in the Taoxian Cave in the back mountain, which is where he and I started. Shi went in to pay his respects, but he hasn't come back yet. ”

You Mei's face changed, "The four elders have been guarding the spirit, and they have always been suspicious of you and refuse to recognize you as the only master of the village. Shi Jin hasn't come back for a long time, and he is Li Zhong's disciple, so you are not afraid, the four elders conspired with him......"

"What can I do ......" Zhou Tong smiled bitterly, after all, they were all promoted by Li Zhong at the beginning. Although their spiritual cultivation is not too strong, their qualifications are too old, and they are all Li Zhong and my uncles, and I can't do anything. It's up to them. ”

"Is the relationship between Shi Jin and Li Zhong really so deep?" You Mei was a little puzzled, "Li Zhong's cultivation is average, he just taught him some simple spiritual power cultivation methods, and in three years, he only brought him to the intermediate spiritual master. I heard that the reason why Shi Jin was so powerful later was mainly because of his cultivation with a strong man named Wang Jin. It can be said that Li Zhong and Wang Jin are far from each other. Three years has only taught him to the level of an intermediate spiritual priest, he should have hatred in his heart, how can he be in a hurry to avenge Li Zhong?"

"Don't you understand?" Zhou Tong said depressedly, "Revenge for Li Zhong is just a pretense. The Qiuyue Alliance behind him wants to use his identity to control my Peach Blossom Mountain, this is true. ”
