Chapter 165: The Second Line
"As the senior brother in charge said, after nearly a year of recuperation, I have basically recovered. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info made the senior brother in charge worried--when I came here just now, I saw everyone on the road in a hurry and looked panicked, but something big happened?"
Zhao Hua sighed: "Well, oh - now that the situation is clear, the combined strength of my Central Plains Kyushu and Jiugu Mountain is far inferior to the Northern Demon Dao, and the Southern Righteous Dao wants to intervene at this time, but it is also powerless to return to the sky, just in the past few days, all the sects of my Jiugu Mountain will retreat south, so everyone is preparing to retreatββ"
"Are we going to give up Jiugu Mountain?" Li Xiaoyao almost couldn't believe his ears, in his opinion, Jiugu Mountain was the best place to practice in the world, where the mountains were, the spiritual veins criss-crossed, even if there were a hundred times more cultivators practicing here, its spiritual power was enough, and there were at least dozens of old monsters above the Yuan Infant Stage in the Nine Great Sects, it should be more than enough to protect Jiugu Mountain, and now it is impossible to lose this golden nest and find a silver nest.
"This is the result of the discussion of all the elders of Jiugu Mountain, if you stay here, not only will it not help, but there is also the possibility of destroying the sect in the future, it is better to take advantage of this strength to withdraw, and try to recover ...... in the future."
"This is the result of the deliberations of the Supreme Elders, why don't they make a move?"
"In this world, to be able to cultivate to the infancy stage, it is already a top-level existence, at least two thousand years, at most three thousand years, among which the hardship is not something that ordinary people can experience, they cherish their lives like birds cherish their feathers, unless it is related to their own death, otherwise they will not fight. What's more, the existence of the Northern Demon Dao Yuan Infant Stage is much more than that of my Central Plains Kyushu and Jiugu Mountain combined, if these Yuan Infant Period existences really do it, our side will definitely fall behind, and they have an agreement tens of thousands of years ago, no matter how fierce the fight between the two sides is, all the existence of the Yuan Infant Period is not allowed to participate......"
"And what about those primordial infancy existences in the Southern Righteous Path? can't they do it?"
"They are not in the agreement, but they have no time to take care of themselves, it is said that for the existence of some kind of unwarranted strange treasure, the fight is very fierce, and the existence of the Yuan Infant Stage alone died because of this, and I also have the existence of the Yuan Infant Period participating in it...... So far, we have not seen it...... Senior Brother Li, you are also well-known among fellow Daoists in my Taixu Sect, and I heard that when you retreat in the future, you may have to share some responsibilities. β
"Senior brother, but if I am told, I will do my best to complete the task. β
"Senior Brother Li, in fact, I have been optimistic about you since you advanced to the foundation building period, and I originally wanted to report to the law enforcement elders and let you serve as my deputy to share some of the sect's affairs for me, but now I can only wait for this catastrophe to pass. β
After saying goodbye to Zhao Hua, Li Xiaoyao came to Wang Changsheng's Cave Mansion, and Lu Qian hurriedly greeted him and said, "Uncle Li, Elder Taishang is not in the Cave Mansion, as for when he will come back, I really don't know." β
"Oh, I just came back from Senior Brother in charge, and I will retreat in a month, are you ready?"
Lu Qian said with a smile: "Everyone else has a big family, I am alone, I don't have any savings, and I don't have any big things, I don't need to prepare, I don't need to leave, not to mention that the sect has not arranged my task." β
Li Xiaoyao was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of a question and said, "Has the specific retreat route been arranged?"
"There has been a line announced ten days ago, and it is said that this line is relatively safe, and all the people who retreat with this line are voluntarily registered, and more than thirty percent of the people have voluntarily signed up, and most of the baggage in the door will be escorted with the team......"
Li Xiaoyao pondered for a moment and said, "All those who voluntarily sign up can set off with the team?"
"There are also many people who have been persuaded to quit. β
"As far as you know, who have been persuaded to quit?"
"I don't know much about this, because I'm just a disciple in the Qi cultivation period, and it's inconvenient to inquire about many things, so I can just walk around outside with the face of Elder Taishang. β
Li Xiaoyao sneered: "Good plan-" Before he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said to Lu Qian, "Can you sign up?"
"I don't know when Elder Taishang will come back, so I've been waiting here, not daring to leave, but most of Elder Taishang's team is participating-Uncle Shi, when will you sign up?"
"I suggest you still don't retreat with this team, as for listening or not, whatever you want. After speaking, Li Xiaoyao returned to the medicine garden's residence, now that the medicine garden had been damaged by Wang Changsheng's lightning test, he had no intention of cleaning it up, and sat cross-legged in the open field, this was probably his last period of time in the Taixu Gate of Lingyun Mountain.
In the past ten days, Lu Qian hurriedly came over and said, "Senior Uncle Li, Elder Taishang asked you to go to his cave mansion now. β
Li Xiaoyao looked around and said expressionlessly: "You can go, I'll look for the master by myself in a while." β
He got up and walked around the neighborhood, then the sword flew towards the cave where Wang Changsheng was.
"Xiaoyao, now that you understand the situation, I will make preliminary preparations for the retreat of the Southern Elephant Mountain with the elders in a while. Because you have a specific task, it is not good to take you with me as a teacher, and I hope that you and I will meet again in Elephant Mountain. β
"Master, do you know what the specific task of the apprentice is?"
"I will arrange for you to take the second route for the teacher, and you will assist the elders to escort most of my Lingyun Mountain's baggage, according to the pre-investigation situation, this route should be the safest. β
"Master, I heard that the first line was announced twenty days ago, and most of the baggage departed with the first line?"
"On the first line and the first line, both the baggage team set off, and the people in the third line took on the task of breaking off. β
Li Xiaoyao knelt down and bowed: "Master, if there is nothing else, the disciple will retire." β
"Okay, the first line will leave tomorrow, the second line will leave the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you will go to Sanshanping to meet them, and then the elders will arrange your specific tasks. β
After Li Xiaoyao left Wang Changsheng Cave Mansion, he casually wandered around the huge Lingyun Mountain, he visited a few familiar Taoist friends by the way, but he was closed, and he didn't know where they went, after wandering for a while, he was bored, and simply meditated cross-legged on a clean rock, and when he saw the busy figures of everyone in the distance, he couldn't calm down in his heart, and he was extremely irritable.
An hour later, he calmed down a little by meditating, and then a lazy figure came from behind him, saying, "Li Daoyou, if a cultivator is impetuous, he is not far from death." β
Li Xiaoyao looked back and saw a cultivator sitting cross-legged not far behind him, with white hair, looking one hundred and eighty years old, with low eyebrows but a very dull appearance, it was Yan Su who had met several times before, and to his surprise, this person's cultivation was already in the Great Perfection realm in the late stage of foundation building.
He wondered in his heart, and although he was uneasy, he still couldn't understand that the person who was close at hand had not found it.
Although Yan Su looked low and pleasing to the eyes, Li Xiaoyao was very disgusted with him in his heart, because he always felt that this person's identity was mysterious and unpredictable, and he already had a sense of resistance to his unknown characters, not to mention that after several dealings, this person showed that the dragon could not see the beginning and the end, and now at the critical time, he still stayed away.
Li Xiaoyao got up and said, "It turned out to be Brother Yan Dao, under Li Xiaoyao, I didn't know that your old man was here just now, disturbed your retreat, and I hope to forgive your sins and say goodbye." β
After speaking, his figure swung and flew out like an arrow, but he only flew more than ten zhang away, and the figure flickered in front of him, if he hadn't stopped in time, he almost crashed into the person.
Li Xiaoyao fixed his eyes and saw that the person who came turned out to be Yan Su behind him just now, and he looked back at the place where Yan Su used to meditate cross-legged, where was his figure? He was already full of confidence in his flying speed, but at this time, he seemed to fall from the top of the mountain into the ice cave all of a sudden, and he said coldly: "Brother Yan Dao, do you have any advice?"
Yan Su seemed to have just woken up from his sleep, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you can go." β
"Farewell!" In order to prevent what happened just now from happening again, Li Xiaoyao did not fly again, but walked down the rock step by step.
Behind him, Yan Su muttered to himself: "This kid's qualifications are very ordinary, how can his cultivation speed be one point faster than that of a person with excellent qualifications?
Li Xiaoyao was originally uneasy, but after Yan Su's commotion, his heart was even more bored, and after walking around for a while, he heard someone talking in front of him, so he paid attention to a few words.
"Brother Kan Dao, you are a cultivator family, is there anything missing?"
"Aren't you laughing at me? I am indeed from a family of cultivators, but my family is no longer worthy of its name, except for me in the late stage of foundation building, the rest of the more than ten juniors are in the Qi cultivation period, and the ancestral inheritance is also about the same. I remember that in order to advance to the foundation building period, I spent almost three million spirit stones on the black market to get one foundation building pill, fortunately, I was lucky, and I successfully advanced at one time, but now I want to make up three million spirit stones, but I can't, but I do have a few thousand-year-old spirit grasses, take this opportunity to sell them, and exchange them for some spirit stones or good magic weapons-"
Li Xiaoyao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoists, where are you going?"
"Oh, you--you are the famous red-haired god-Li Xiaoyao?" The surnamed Kan recognized Li Xiaoyao at a glance, and hurriedly exclaimed, "Li Daoyou, don't you know that there is an open-air trading market in Shiping in front of you?" In the past half a month, it has been lively, and things that can't be seen on weekdays are all on display at this time......
"I was slightly injured on a mission some time ago, so I've been recuperating and recuperating, and I still don't know about this - I'll go with you, right?"
"Okay, we can't ask for it if we can go with the red-haired god, hehe-"
"Kan Daoyou, I overheard you just now that you seem to have a few spirit grasses ready to sell, can you give me a look?"
A person next to him interjected and said, "Li Daoyou, you are in a hurry, and you haven't arrived at the trading place yet? After all, we are cultivators in the foundation building period, so we won't trade on the roadside, right?"
