The voices of the people in the willow forest are like heaven, although the tone is stern, but it is extremely soft.

When Li Xuan heard this, he immediately frowned and said happily: "Ling Long, Ling Long, it turns out that you are here...... Are you alright?"

Ling Long flashed out of the willow forest, and with a wave of his jade hand, the strings flew out silently, pulling back several men who were running away.

She turned her head to look at Li Xuan, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Xuan, I'm fine, it's just that I was spoiled by these wicked people and had a good dream." ”

Li Xuan heard her cute, and laughed: "Later, we will clean up these wicked people, and let you sleep well first." As he spoke, he saw Zhong Chu attacking with a punch, and with a 'bang', he smashed a big hole on the riverside, and sand and stones flew wildly.

Seeing that Ling Long was unharmed, he was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Zhong Chu, are you a big aunt cow? Mo said that Zhong Chu's mind was vague at this time, even with his sober wisdom and brute force at this time, he was far from Li Xuan's opponent. Therefore, it is poured by a point.

Ling Long threw the few men he pulled back to the ground, flew to Li Xuan's side, looked down at Zhong Chu, and said lightly: "He took Yuan Tiangang's evil elixir, plus he used the evil law before, at this time, all the qi and blood rushed to the brain, if you don't treat it in time, I'm afraid you won't live tomorrow." Li Xuan looked at Ling Long when he heard this, and said, "The people sent by Zhong Chu didn't hurt you, right?" Seeing Ling Long nodding with a smile, he muttered: "Life is a big matter, and grievances are small." Well, we're in the rivers and lakes...... Ling Long listened to him and said ...... a little hesitant, pursed his lips and smiled: "You don't have to swallow and spit out." Brother Xuan, if I had been careful and didn't want to save him, I wouldn't have said these things to you. ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Ling Long is empathetic and kind-hearted, she is really a good girl." Ling Long chuckled: "You don't have to praise me like this, I'm a layman." Hey, I understand the truth that saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter. ”

The two looked at each other again and laughed.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "We saved him, maybe we may not be rewarded, but at least we will feel at ease." Ling Long smiled and took out the silver needle, clicked on Zhong Chu's eyebrows and Baihui, and slowly inserted five or six needles around the silver needle in the back of his neck, and after waiting for a while, seeing that Zhong Chu's breathing had stabilized, he pinched the end of the needle pierced in the back of his neck and pulled it out. When Li Xuan saw that the silver needle on the back of Zhong Chu's neck was pulled out, a trace of black blood spurted out along the pinhole, and said strangely: "What's going on?"

Ling Long said: "The blood is coagulated at the top, it has solidified into a lump, I used a silver needle to stimulate his eyebrows, Baihui, help him turn into a lump, and then pierce the back of his neck around it, forcing the blood poison, so that his life will be saved." Li Xuan praised: "Don't help with internal strength, purely use silver needles to heal injuries, Ling Long is really Hua Tuo alive." Ling Long smiled slightly: "Why does your mouth look like it's smeared with honey." ”

Li Xuan was stunned, and suddenly understood that this was due to his happiness to see Ling Long unharmed, his face turned red, and he laughed loudly: "I'm so thirsty, how dare I smear my lips with honey!" The two helped Zhong Chu under the willow tree and let him close his eyes and rest.

Ling Long seemed to be a little afraid of the cold, leaned on Li Xuan's shoulder, and said, "How could you be such a smart person as Tu Feng and drink their preset poisonous snake wine?" Li Xuan sighed, shook his head and said, "Maybe a few big enemies have been eliminated, let's relax our vigilance!" Ling Long nodded and said, "Yes, from Hei Yunyi, Shangguan Xiaoxiong, to Lu Ran and the Ding brothers...... Until you reach Nangong Zhenshi, Yan Invincible, Zhu Lian, and a hundred-year-old ghost, there is indeed no master enemy on the rivers and lakes, that is, you are extremely calm, and if you are someone else, you may not know what you will be proud and impetuous. ”

Li Xuan groaned: "When I hurried to the river, I saw the three people who came to set fire to the boat dead in the water, without the slightest scar on their bodies, who killed them, is it you?" Ling Long shook his head, nodded again, and said, "I didn't kill it, but it has something to do with me." Li Xuan was puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?" Ling Long said: "Those three people waded into the water, originally to set fire to the boat, but they were discovered by the boat boss. Well, guess who that seemingly timid boat boss is?" Li Xuan said: "Who is it?" Ling Long said: "He is the younger brother of Sha Mantian, the leader of the Immortal Crane Five Elements Sect. Li Xuanda was interested and asked, "Sha Mantian, the sect leader of the Immortal Crane Five Elements Sect, broke into the Medicine King Valley with us, and finally stayed in the valley, could it be that his younger brother pretended to be the boat boss and was looking for him everywhere?" Ling Long said: "He wishes that his brother would never come back, so that he can sit firmly as the sect leader of the Immortal Crane Five Elements Sect." Li Xuan said: "It's me who is confused." ”

Ling Long pursed his lips and smiled: "Fool, then listen to me." After a pause, he added, "You carried me on the boat, and you reached the shore by yourself, and I was taking a nap when I was awakened by the whispers on the deck." I was curious, so I went over and listened, and found that the ship's boss was sambling, and the rest of the boatmen were waiting for you to come back and join me, and how to poison you and me. ”

Li Xuanyu exclaimed: "This time I took the boat and entered the wolf's den again!"

Ling Long nodded and said, "The difference is that last time Zu Zhengyu came to help us, this time Shamandi came to poison us. ”

Li Xuan said: "Why did he do this? We are his brother Sha Mantian's lifesaver!" Ling Long smiled slightly: "How did he know that we saved Sha Mantian...... Perhaps, in order to be able to sit firmly in the position of the leader of the Immortal Crane Five Elements Sect for a long time, he will kill us. She sighed lightly: "This person's heart, why not only don't you think about the good of others, but you also want to repay virtue with resentment!" Li Xuan laughed when he heard this: "It seems that Ling Long has also been vulgarized by the world, and he is beginning to sigh?"

Ling Long smiled faintly and said, "I heard what they said in private, the reason why they want to kill you and me is because of the Black God Sword you carry." ”

Li Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and muttered: "It turns out that the sword is the fault again." Ling Long said: "But just as they were discussing secretly, the three people sent by Tu Feng touched it. When he saw it in the sand, he didn't say anything, and as soon as he threw the poisonous flying dust over, the three of them died. Li Xuan said: "I see. The current was slow, and the three men did not drift downstream after they died, but were washed ashore by the waves. Ling Long said: "That's right. I saw Sha Mandi vicious, and I was about to teach them a lesson, but I saw Zhong Chu leading people to get on the boat from the other side. Li Xuan said: "Since they are willing to eat black and eat black, you also save your hands." ”

Ling Long said: "I got off the boat and went to look for you in the direction you went, and I saw that the refugees had already scattered and fled. I caught up with a few people and asked, only to know that they were arranged by Li Shimin here to cooperate with Zhong Chuxiang's trap to deceive you and me. Li Xuan was taken aback and said: "Li Shimin is not only well-informed, but also uses refugees...... However, such a method also shows that there are no more available people under the Li father and son. Ling Long shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily. With Li Shimin's style of acting, he will never leave a master to protect himself. Li Xuan groaned: "It makes sense. Well, the people sent by Li Shimin earlier, in addition to their high martial arts, always had the common characteristics of 'evil and impatient, unscrupulous, and decentive'. And if he really has a master to protect himself, he must be extremely trusted, and he has a righteous spirit, and can also provide a dignified and heroic person for the Li family to overthrow the imperial court, but looking at the rivers and lakes, how many people are in line!" Ling Long was silent, and after a while, he suddenly shuddered, and said, "I asked the reason clearly, and turned around Gaoqiu to look for you, but found that there was nothing but white bones." Brother Xuan, I thought you ...... Luckily, you were out of danger when I came running. ”

Li Xuan saw that her face was full of worry, and her hand was cold, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and took Ling Long's hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm not good!" Ling Long's face turned crimson, and he didn't dare to look at Li Xuan's gentle eyes, but he picked up Zhong Chu's hand and tried it, and said, "Okay, he's fine...... Brother Xuan, do we have to wait for him to come to his senses?" Li Xuan shook his head and said, "No need...... Let's go. As he spoke, a ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds in the eastern sky, and the surface of the river suddenly seemed to be scattered with gold, rippling waves, reflecting the divine light of heaven and earth, like a dream.

After a few days, there was nothing to do, and the two finally arrived in Taiyuan City.

Taiyuan is also known as Jincheng, its name began in the Zhou Dynasty Tang princes Shu Yu, because of its hard work, so that the people of Jinshui live a life of peace and contentment, and later changed the Tang State to the Jin State. As for the name of Taiyuan, it is because the land where Jincheng is located is tall and gentle, so it is called Taiyuan. In the first year of Lu Zhao, Xun Wu of the Jin State led his troops to the north, and defeated the Wuzhong and Chidi tribes who occupied the area of today's Taiyuan, and the Taiyuan area was assigned to the territory of the Jin State. Qin Shi Huang unified China and divided the world into 36 counties, where Taiyuan County was set up. By the Han Dynasty, Taiyuan had become one of the thirteen prefectures. After that, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Jinyang was the capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it was the land of hegemony. By the time of the Great Sui, Taiyuan's status was second only to Chang'an and Luoyang.

The first time Ling Long came to Taiyuan City, he was very surprised. But see the flow of people in Taiyuan City, shuttle endlessly, green shade everywhere, the sound of cars and horses coming and going is like boiling, a piece of buildings and buildings are high and low, look at it from afar, I don't know the end, its prosperous appearance, not inferior to Chang'an, the capital of Sui. Ling Long was looking at it with great interest, and saw Li Xuan summoning a carriage. After getting into the carriage, Li Xuan guided the groom to the south of the city. Ling Long said: "Brother Xuan, you really deserve to have lived here for more than ten years!"

Li Xuan smiled faintly and said: "What about more than ten years, now it's just a dreamlike memory." About two hours, the groom parked the car, Li Xuan paid the fare, and Ling Long came to a restaurant. At this time, it was almost noon, and the business of the restaurant was quite hot. The two ordered food and drinks, finished eating and drinking, and found an inn to rest. Ling Long felt that Li Xuan seemed to be full of concerns, and asked, "Brother Xuan, if you have anything on your mind, just say it!" Although Ling Long can't help you solve your worries, maybe you will be in a better mood if you say it. Li Xuan was silent for a while, and said, "You and I will go to the old garden at night to have a look!"

Twilight is approaching, and a slanting sun hangs in the western sky. Far from being quiet, Taiyuan City became more lively when the red light was lit.

Li Xuan dragged Ling Long through the streets and alleys, and when it was time for tea, he came to a rather quiet alley.

Ling Long saw that the stone plaque at the entrance of the alley read the words 'Yangliu Hutong in the south of the city', and asked, "Is this where you grew up?"

Li Xuan nodded, his expression was faintly sad, and after a moment of silence, he pointed to the third gate on the left with peeling red paint and said, "That's my home." Ling Long listened to Li Xuan's slow words, and his voice trembled inexplicably. She looked at Li Xuan, then looked at the door where the red paint was peeling, and a tender feeling of pity surged in her heart, and she said softly: "Let's go and have a look!"

It is said that the place where the parents are there is called the homeland, and if the parents are gone, the homeland can only be called the old garden! Li Xuan saw that the gate of the garden was closed, the big copper lock was green and rusty, and in the crack of the door, the tall artemisia grass in the garden grew into a patch, and the black and half-collapsed house was desolate and ragged like a seriously ill old man in the twilight. A gust of night breeze blew, and the laurel tree leaning against the stone wall rubbed against the wall, making a choked sound, as if he wanted to reminisce about the past with Li Xuan. Li Xuan stood stupidly, although he didn't say a word, he couldn't hold back the long-suppressed longing and sadness in his heart, and the two lines of tears rolled down, unconsciously wetting his clothes.

Ling Long saw that he was sad, and couldn't help but cry with him. I don't know how long, the hook moon has slowly moved west, the stars are looming, and the hazy faint envelops the heavens and the earth, the heaven and the earth are silent, and the old garden is silent. Seeing that Li Xuan was still stunned, Ling Long stretched out his hand to wrap his arm, looked at the deep and lonely garden gate and said: "Brother Xuan, if you want to go in, let's go in and have a look, if you are worried about going in and causing ripples in the past, and make yourself even more sad, then let's just stand like this and feel the family and things together!"

Li Xuan was silent, and only after a while did he say slowly: "It's only been a few months since I left home, why has my heart become devastated...... Forget it! What if you go in, what if you don't go in! The past, the present, and the future, no one can change the fate of being an orphan. With a long sigh, he said: "Since we entered the alley, the scene of last year has gently appeared in front of us." ”

Ling Long listened to his sad words, and asked softly: "This alley looks like there are at least seven or eight families, and they all seem to be solid people, why does it look like people are going to empty buildings now, have all the people moved away?"

Li Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "They didn't just move out now. ”

Ling Long was puzzled: "Not now?" Li Xuan nodded and said: "On the day my parents 'died', I hurried back from Cangyan Mountain, when I pushed open the garden gate and saw the neighbors surrounding my parents' coffins, I was saddened, but I found that the eldest son of Mrs. Zhang's family was always smiling slightly. Ling Longqi said: "You see him laughing?" Li Xuan nodded and said, "I was so sad that I didn't have time to take care of it. Now I think about the reason why he laughed, or the 'death' that he planned with my parents. Alas...... At that time, I saw that the neighbors were always respectful to my parents, and I thought it was because my family was rich, but now that I think about it, these neighbors must be the people of the Twelve Consecutive Banks. Hey...... It must be like this, because they moved to this alley after Hei Yunyi chased and killed Liang Jiu Shi, and after the fire in my house. Ling Long said: "Hei Yunyi chased and killed Liang Jiu, your house caught fire? Could it be that you saved Ah Ying's sister that time?"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "That's exactly that." I remember that soon after the fire, these neighbors were replaced by these people one after another. ”

He paused, let out a long sigh and said, "Now that I think about it, my parents are really forbearant people, with their financial resources and martial arts, they have lived here quietly for so many years!" Ling Long said: "I remember you said that my uncle, aunt, and Li Yuan seemed to have an emotional entanglement back then, but in the end, my uncle helped Li Yuan's son work hard in the rivers and lakes!" Li Xuan heard this, nodded, and said: "What happened between them back then, and why do they help each other now?" I am afraid that only they know the contradictory relationship of mutual exclusion. However, what I've experienced and heard these days has made me certain of one thing. Ling Longqi said, "What are you sure about?"

Li Xuan said: "It's that my grandfather has a very good relationship with each of them. Ling Long nodded and said, "According to what you said, Uncle An Ruohai often took you to Senior Sha's residence back then, thinking that even if it was for you, I am afraid it was for their relationship." And the hundred-year-old ghost also said that Sha's predecessors have been helping Li Yuan formulate a strategic plan to subvert the Great Sui world, so the relationship between them must be extraordinary...... It's a pity that his old man was killed by a hundred-year-old ghost, and even if we have all kinds of questions, we can't ask them. Li Xuan sighed: "My father An Ruohai is no longer alive, and whether my mother Long Hongye is alive or dead is still a suspense." It seems that the only way to do this is to ask him clearly before killing Li Yuan. ”

Ling Long nodded and said, "Actually, whether to ask clearly or not is only a matter of the previous generation. Now, you know that you are a descendant of the Extreme Heavenly Gate, and you know your bloodline, so you are not an orphan. And Li Yuan and Li Shimin used Tang Bing's sister as bait to trap you, resulting in Tang Bing's sister's tragic death...... This revenge must be avenged, so it doesn't matter if we kill him, even if we can't ask. Li Xuan sighed and said, "That's what I said...... Haha, I'm pedantic!"

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard someone at the mouth of the alley whispering: "The lord said that if he came to Taiyuan, he would definitely come here to pay his respects." Ladies and gentlemen, you also know that his martial arts are peerless, and he has reached the peak of his transformation. So, Brother Wang, Brother Chu, you two touch the corner of the house and hide it...... The two Taoist leaders, you are wronged, go to the roof with us to hide, let's keep a night here first, if he doesn't come, I'm afraid that we will have to lie in ambush here for the next few days. ”

At present, my new work "Alien Dragon Emperor" is in the process of accumulating, and it is expected to be officially uploaded in May and June.
