Chapter 4: The Legend of the Immortals
The dark clouds in the sky pressed even lower, and the snow began to fall sparsely, and the first snow of the winter finally fell. The wind also became stronger, and several flags planted on the side of the road were blown to the sound of hunting, and the navy blue flags flew in the wind, and a big red "Li" character loomed on it. Li Changfeng raised his head and looked at the flags, and said leisurely:
"At the beginning, the wind was very light and could not blow the flag, so when the flag was drooping, the words on it should only be half and half of the word "Li......
"It's a 'wooden' word. Li Fu took over the conversation playfully.
Li Changfeng clapped his hands and said, "By the way, it's the word 'wood', Fang Tong, let me ask you, is there a general surnamed Mu in the vicinity?"
He Fangtong didn't want to think about it, and replied: "The 'Mulu Town' in front is the junction of 'Izumo Prefecture' and 'Sizhou', and entering the 'Mulu Town' is even if you reach the boundary of 'Sizhou', and the Tai Master of 'Sizhou' is surnamed Mu." His third son, Mu Zhenxiong, is the guard of 'Mulu Town'. ”
Li Changfeng was stunned for a while, and then sighed and said with a wry smile: "Good guy, it's like this!"
He Fangtong and Li Fu glanced at each other, and asked hesitantly, "My lord, is this ......?"
Li Changfeng pointed to the letter on the round shield and said:
"You see, if you look closely at the second half of this letter, you can still distinguish some words, and if you guess again, you will find that the target of these assassins' ambush is actually ...... The surname is wood!"
He Fangtong and Li Fu were taken aback, and Li Fu shouted: "Son, then haven't we suffered on behalf of others?"
Li Changfeng nodded slightly, stared at the letter thoughtfully, and was silent.
Li Fu shouted angrily, jumping up and down shouting to find justice for the surname Mu. He Fangtong's face was also flushed, and the green tendons on the back of his hands jumped violently.
Li Changfeng didn't look excited at all, and suddenly raised his hand and clicked on the letter, and said slowly:
"Immortal medicine? You say, is there really such a thing in this world? Even if there is an immortal medicine, there will naturally be immortals, have you heard of it?"
When the words fell, Li Fu suddenly stopped beating, He Fangtong also had a clear face, and the two looked at Li Changfeng in surprise. Shaoqing, He Fangtong groaned and arched his hand:
"Back to the little waiting master, the things of the immortals are ethereal and difficult to find, there are many such legends among the people, and I don't know if they are true or false...... "After a pause, seeing Li Changfeng looking at him and signaling to continue, he swallowed his saliva, and continued:
"It is said that in a certain year in the Monan Kingdom, there was a great immortal who went down to earth and appointed the champion of the dynasty as a disciple to teach a book of heaven. Zhuang Yuanlang pondered and meditated for ten years, and suddenly he was enlightened, let go of the mundane, and floated away in front of the Jinluan Palace, which alarmed the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty for a while, from the emperor to the courtiers, all knelt down to worship, and called the living immortals. In addition, there are stories of ordinary people's families, such as: one year, there was a fairy who went down to earth, fell in love with a poor scholar who studied hard in a cold window, and wanted to marry him forever, but encountered the evil demon obstruction and scattered. There are many such legends, not only in Monan, but also in Guizi, Dachang, China, and even some other countries far away, there are more or less such legends, it can be said that now those large and small Taoist temples, the reason why the incense is prosperous, good men and women are endless, and these legends are inseparable......"
"It's true, it's the ...... of immortals" Before He Fangtong finished speaking, Li Fu suddenly said.
Li Changfeng and He Fangtong looked at him at the same time, only to see him looking at the sky with his eyes in the sky, a leisurely look on his face, and muttered in his mouth:
"Before I entered the Li Mansion, I was actually surnamed Qin, and I lived in a small village called 'Qinjia Village', when I was still young, about five or six years old. One day, a Taoist came to the village, sloppy and sloppy, and he couldn't see the appearance of a master. The man walked around the village, and suddenly ran to my cousin's house and said that my cousin had that spirit...... Spirit ......"
"Linggen!" Li Changfeng continued.
"That's right, Linggen! He also said that there is an immortal fate or something, in short, he wants to take my cousin away from home to cultivate immortals. How can the uncle's parents believe it, they thought that they had met a human tooth, and they picked up a hoe and kitchen knife to fight with that person, who knew that the person laughed, waved his sleeves, and turned out to be ...... He took my cousin and flew into the air, stepped on a magic sword, and floated away. I was at my cousin's house and saw it with my own eyes, and I hid in ......."
Li Fu was completely calm in the excitement of seeing the immortals at this time, and chattered. He Fangtong was dumbfounded when he listened, and his eyes were straight.
Li Changfeng set off a storm in his heart at this time:
No matter how advanced science and technology were in the previous life, this kind of thing still existed only in people's imaginations, and the online novels were very booked, but no one had ever seen them in reality. I can't think of it, I can't think of it......"
He clenched his fists fiercely, and a voice in his heart screamed:
"No matter what, no matter what the price is, I must find a way to repair... Immortals..."
“...... Alas, it's a pity that I was too young at the time, and I only knew that I was afraid, and the great opportunity was missed like this, if I ......"
Li Fu was still saying with self-pity, and He Fangtong was also regretful.
Li Changfeng came back to his senses, and when he saw their serious appearance, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and he didn't bother, and went to take a bath and change clothes by himself.
......
After packing up, Li Changfeng beckoned He Fangtong to the side and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Tong, we have suffered more than ten casualties and suffered heavy losses, and this matter will follow...... What do you think?"
He Fangtong twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes showed anger, he struggled, and finally said in a muffled voice like a deflated ball: "The only way to do this now is to find the Mu family for justice!"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly, suddenly changed the topic, and said:
"When that big man fought against you, I saw that although he was tall, he was quite flexible in his movements, do you estimate that with his strength and skill, if he rushed with all his strength at that time, would you be able to stop him from rushing to my side?"
He Fangtong thought carefully for a while, suddenly looked ashamed, and replied: "I really can't stop him, even if I am seriously injured...... Hey...... Your Excellency mean, the big man didn't do his best to assassinate you?"
Nodding, Li Changfeng said:
"Not only the big guys, but also the men in black. Those people are all outlaws, how can I kill a few of them and run away in fear. ”
"This ...... Why is that?"
"Because they have found out later that they have killed the wrong person, and because of ...... They want to preserve their strength. Li Changfeng said.
"IMHO. He Fangtong arched his hand and said: "This kind of thing, even if it is wrong, it will definitely only be wrong, killing people and killing people, how can it be ......?"
"There are more than 30 of us, and there are a few more stabbing guests than we are, and there are only a limited number of them. The blades in these hands are all ordinary goods, bows and arrows are just ordinary hunting bows, so close to the distance, but the soft and can't even shoot through the armor, and the stone that smashed the carriage is even a random piece on the side of the road...... All this shows that they are not ready at all. Such an assassination is not so much an assassination as an encounter that comes from a fitting encounter. What does it mean that they are not prepared to do it by force? It shows that their purpose is not to succeed in the assassination, but to delay time. Why delay? Because they still haven't arrived yet. When they found out that they were wrong, they also thought about killing people, but they didn't expect that our strength was so strong, and if we forced it, I was afraid that they themselves would not have many people left. Therefore, there was a later retreat, and they were going to join up with the followers, and then ...... Then go and assassinate the real target!"
"Still going to assassinate?"
He Fangtong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and muttered: "Why did you make such a big scene, this is the hinterland of the empire!"
"For the sake of the immortal medicine!" Li Changfeng continued: "That letter mentions the word 'immortal medicine'. If it is true, I think those people will not hesitate to start a 'national war' for this purpose. ”
He Fangtong's eyes widened, and he looked at him with a shocked face.
