Chapter 5 Acupuncture
The next day, before dawn, Li Wantao left the Li Mansion with Li Yi and thirteen of his most reliable house slaves. In order to ensure that the trip could be carried out in secret, they did not mention it to anyone else. In order to avoid suspicion from others, the trip was carried out in secret. For others, he said that he was going to take care of the family's business, and he did not say where he was going.
The Li clan has a lot of their own business in the capital cities of Jiuju Mountain, and not only that, but in recent years, they have also had some contacts outside Jiuju Mountain due to business needs. Even though there are dangers everywhere outside the Nine Mountains, in order to meet the needs of some special customers, the Li clan will also take the risk to go outside the Divine Wall to collect some rare materials. So Li Wantao went out with some house slaves this time, which is a new thing in the family.
In order to avoid the suspicion of outsiders, they did not rush to the "Divine Wall", and they walked for a week in a row before they reached the periphery of the strength of the Nine Sects, which is what the world calls the "Divine Wall". It's not surprising that anything is starting to happen when you walk out of the wall. Many of their unknown enemies began to appear in this area. Li Wantao raised his hand, and the group stopped. Li Wantao's eyebrows tightened, and when he saw the front of him, he couldn't help but think: "It's only been half a year, and the wall is almost surrounded by strange plants. Look at these crimson plants, exuding a strange aura. It can be seen how strong the caster is. Far above him. ”
Li Wantao's brows tightened, and a feeling of uneasiness permeated his whole body. The last time he came, he didn't pay much attention to these plants, he thought they were just a little trick of the enemy outside the walls. But now it seems that he is beginning to suspect that these are the work of people inside the walls. Li Wantao slowly raised his head and looked in the direction of the main peak of Jiuzhong Mountain. After looking at it for a while, Li Wantao seemed to have made up his mind and said to Li Yi: "From now on, many unexpected things will happen! Li Yi saw the seriousness of the matter from Li Wantao's face, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied, "Yes, father." ”
Li Wantao and his entourage got off their horses one after another and walked out of the distance. When they arrived at an open area, they began to prepare their equipment. After a while, Li Wantao saw that the people around him were almost ready, and then said to the people around him: "Ready to go!"
At the same time, these people cast spells one after another, and suddenly their own soul beasts appeared around them. These soul beasts are huge, one of them is a white tiger, two flying eagles, and the rest are wolf-like soul beasts. Among these soul beasts, Li Wantao's soul beast was particularly conspicuous, the huge and snow-white "white tiger" exuded the majesty of the king, so that other soul beasts did not dare to get too close, but wandered in the distance. To say that he is huge, it should be that the volume of this "white tiger" is dozens of times that of ordinary tigers. Compared to him, the other soul beasts did not have the majesty of beasts at all, making them completely discolored.
Li Wantao stroked the "White Tiger" and said to it: "White Tiger, restrain your breath." This time, we are going to reach the Heavenly Buddha Temple through the wasteland, which can be regarded as a secret operation! You can see that you have frightened all the soul beasts around you. You're too conspicuous like that. ”
Hearing Li Wantao's words, the white tiger roared and began to restrain his breath. Slowly, the king's aura around the "White Tiger" also disappeared, and at the same time, the restless expressions of the surrounding soul beasts also disappeared. But he still didn't dare to get too close to the "White Tiger".
Although Li Yi could form a beast soul body at this time, the soul beast he formed could not be compared with other soul beasts, and he was embarrassed to display it. Besides, the soul beast he conjured up had many flaws, and it was basically useless in the harsh environment outside the divine wall, so Li Yi did not transform the soul beast either.
Seeing Li Yi's embarrassed expression, Li Wantao looked at him and said, "Come to my white tiger." ”
Hearing Li Wantao's words, Li Yi immediately climbed onto Li Wantao's soul beast "White Tiger". This is the first time that Li Yi has sat on the "White Tiger" with his father. Seeing the majesty emanating from the white tiger's body. He couldn't help but feel a little more in awe of his father, and he also poured out endless envy. Imagine that one day you can conjure up a soul beast like a "white tiger" and pass by in front of your family majestically. When he saw himself like this, his brothers and sisters at home were envious, and his father was still boasting about his situation.
"What are you doing in a daze! Hold on to the white tiger, we're leaving. Li Wantao shook his head and shouted to Li Yi.
Then he said to the people around him: "From now on, you must be vigilant for 100,000 people, and you must not be negligent at all. Otherwise, you won't know how you died. From now on, you have to follow me at full speed, without the slightest negligence. Hearing his father's reprimand, Li Yi restrained his mind and tightly grasped the thick hair on the "White Tiger", and the others also concentrated on waiting for Li Wantao's order.
Li Wan turned to the two house slaves on the two big eagles and said, "You two must do a good job of exploring the way in the sky, and if there is an enemy in front of us, we will immediately give us a signal." Be careful not to fly too high to avoid being spotted. You two go first."
Hearing Li Tao's words, the two house slaves said, "Yes!" and flew out on the big eagle.
After a while, Li Wantao gave instructions to the people around him to set off, and rushed out first. Then the other group followed him and set off.
Their group ran fast in this borderless wasteland, this day was quite safe, Li Wantao and his party did not see a single figure at all during the whole day of running, in front of them was a dense forest.
Although they were attacked several times during the period, it did not affect their trip, and it was safe. When it was dark at night, Li Wantao and his entourage arrived safely at the designated place - "Cave Mouth". The cave mouth is a terminal for the Nine-Heavy Army to pass outside. A passage to a hole in the ground. Through this cave, people can enter the underground world protected by divine powers. Each cave mouth was protected by hundreds to thousands of Nine Heavy Armies.
Not only that, but these holes are built with supreme exercises, and they have many strange functions. One of the miraculous features is that these holes do not stay in one place forever, but move in an orderly manner every day. Avoid being discovered by enemies.
In the beginning, the Nine Heavy Army built hundreds of these caverns in the world outside the walls, which served as transit points for passage outside. These caves have a great effect, and they also cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources because they are often attacked by the enemy. It is no longer possible to run so many holes slowly.
So far, there are only about 70 of these holes left. At this time, the place where Li Wantao and his party came was one of the caves.
After Li Wantao and his party arrived at the mouth of the cave, they put away the soul beasts they had conjured, and when they walked into the cave, the woods around them began to stir. Li Yi walked into the cave mouth and took a look, and the hole he saw was a huge meteorite covered with the same runes.
Li Wantao slowly walked to the front of the acupoint, took out a token-like thing with his right hand and put it on. At the same time, the people in the surrounding woods slowly disappeared. Then a passage appeared out of thin air next to the hole.
Through this passage, Li Wantao and his party arrived at a huge hall, and there were seven passages around the hall, and each passage had four or five people standing in front of it to guard.
At this time, these people were vigilant when they saw Li Wantao and his party appear. When he saw the people coming clearly, one of these people walked up to Li Wantao with a bearded middle-aged man and said, "Haha, it turned out to be Boss Li." Long time no see, long time no see. What kind of big business are you going to do this time? Please go this way, it's been hard all the way. ”
Although Li Wantao has a very strong martial arts cultivation, he is more like a businessman in the eyes of outsiders.
"Lord Yuan, long time no see, long time no see. This time, like last time, I went to the outer mountains to collect several medicinal herbs. Li Wantao also greeted him with a smile.
Hearing Li Wantao's words, Lord Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Waishan, do you really want to go over there? I advise you not to go there." In the past few days, we have received information that it is not very peaceful. Even the Temple of the Heavenly Buddha was attacked. ”
Hearing this, Li Wantao frowned, this was the last thing he wanted to hear at this time. He smiled wryly and said, "It's really unfortunate. This business is very important to us, and we can't help but take a risk. I brought a few masters from the house, and there shouldn't be any problems. ”
Hearing Li Wantao's words, the man named Lord Yuan said seriously: "Boss Li, you better think about it." It's no joke!"
Li Wantao said bitterly: "This business is really important, I am careful on the road." Thank you Lord Yuan for your concern. We businessmen sometimes have to take some risks! Otherwise, we won't be able to do business!"
"If you insist on going, I won't say anything, so be careful. After speaking, he turned to the soldiers on the side and said, "Go and get the information from the other side of the mountain." ”
Hearing this, the soldier walked into a passage next to him, and after a while, the soldier walked out with a bundle of books in his hand, and handed the intelligence office in his hand to Lord Yuan.
Lord Yuan took the intelligence book in the soldier's hand, checked it, handed it to Li Wantao and said, "This is the situation in the outer mountains, you can take a good look." Those marked with red signs are best detoured. Rest well today. We will prepare food and accommodation for you. ”
"Thank you so much, I have to trouble you every time. Li Wantao said as he took out a bag of things from his luggage and handed it to Lord Yuan and said, "This is some of the medicinal materials in our store, please accept them." Even if it is for us to honor our lords. ”
Lord Yuan took this package and seemed to sense something, and his somewhat gray face just now immediately stretched. With a smile on his face, he said, "What is this for?" We didn't know each other for a day or two. Speaking of which, your family's medicinal herbs are indeed very effective. It is still very effective to apply it to the wound area when it is usually injured. Then thank you. After saying that, the two looked at each other as if they had reached some agreement, and laughed at each other for a while. It's strange that Li Yi, who was on the side, watched it well.
Then Master Yuan turned to a soldier on the side and said, "Take Boss Li to a resting place." ”
After saying that, they each walked in the opposite direction.
For tomorrow's itinerary, Li Wantao gave a few simple orders, and then checked the things given by Lord Yuan just now with the two house slaves of the Transfiguration Eagle to confirm the route of tomorrow's journey. The others also went to rest in the corresponding places.
