On a rainy night, east of Taixue, in front of the small courtyard.
Li Ziye responded without hesitation and used the only promise given by the Confucian leader.
"Squeak!"
In the small courtyard, the door of the wooden house was opened. Confucius stood under the eaves, looking at the wet boy outside, and said calmly, "Bring the people in."
"Thank you, Confucian leader!"
Seeing that the Confucian leader agreed, Li Ziye immediately became more respectful and walked into the small courtyard carrying Little Red Riding Hood.
Outside the courtyard, the four Confucian leaders saw this and retreated silently.
In the small courtyard, under the eaves, Kong Qiu looked at the soaked and scarred young man in front of him, his expression became slightly gentler, and he said, "Come in."
"Um!"
Li Ziye nodded and walked in.
The simple cabin only had a desk, a bed, and an oil lamp. Other than that, there were only some randomly placed books, and then they were gone.
The simplicity of the wooden house was somewhat beyond Li Ziye's expectations.
At least, he thought that no matter how simple the old man was, he still had one or two valuable antiques. After all, the old man had lived for thousands of years.
"Put Wangyu down." Confucius said.
"Put...where?"
Li Ziye looked around and felt a little embarrassed. They were all soaked, but Little Red Riding Hood was so seriously injured that it was hard to put them on the ground.
"Put it on the bed, of course." Confucius replied.
"okay!"
Li Ziye came to his senses, took two steps forward, and placed Little Red Riding Hood on his back on the bed.
Suddenly, blood mixed with rainwater, staining the plain bed.
"Do you know why Wangyu was so seriously injured?" Confucius asked.
"it's all my fault."
Li Ziye looked at the unconscious Little Red Riding Hood on the bed, a look of deep guilt flashed across his face, and said, "I thought that with Little Red Riding Hood's cultivation, after attracting the attention of Monk Fa Hai, he could at least escape to Confucianism. There is nothing wrong with the door, but I underestimated the strength of the great cultivators of the Five Realms. In this matter, I made a miscalculation."
"This is just one of them."
Confucius said calmly, "No one in this world can calculate everything accurately, not even the old man. The biggest reason why Wangyu was so severely injured is not your miscalculation, but his inability to adapt."
"Workaround?"
Li Ziye frowned and said, "What kind of workaround?"
"Why were you able to escape into Taixue Palace?" Confucius asked.
"I run fast." Li Ziye said.
"No."
Confucius shook his head and said, "It's because you are shameless. You do things by any means, and there is no limit to achieving your goals."
"..."
Li Ziye didn't want to talk. If this old man couldn't save Little Red Riding Hood now, he really wanted to give this bad old man a slap in the face.
"What I said is not to mock you, but to praise you."
Kongqiu said seriously, "Actually, Wangyu is only one step away from Taixue Palace. However, he did not choose to rush in by all means, but chose to fight head-on with Fahai. In addition to the fact that he is not as smart as you, there is another The same reason is preventing him from entering Taixue Palace, do you know what?"
Li Ziye looked startled when he heard this. After a moment, he softly said, "He doesn't want to cause trouble for the Confucian sect."
"good!"
Confucius nodded and said, "This is what the old man said. He doesn't know how to adapt. Confucianism, why should he be afraid of anyone? His Dharma-Confucian master and those teachings are waiting for him to rush in. Unfortunately, in the end, he I would rather use the forbidden techniques in the Haoran chapter than bring trouble to the Confucian sect."
"Confucian leader, please stop talking. Little Red Riding Hood's character won't change in a while. Please save people!" Li Ziye began to urge anxiously.
"That's all."
Kongqiu sighed, stepped forward, raised his dry hand, and placed it on Bai Wangyu's chest.
Suddenly, a vast aura filled the air from the old man's palm, and continued to penetrate into the body of the unconscious Little Red Riding Hood.
"This old man is so powerful."
Li Ziye stood aside and muttered softly.
Since practicing martial arts, Li Ziye is no longer the novice in martial arts he once was, and he can still tell who is strong and who is weak.
Just from the intensity of Qi emerging from Rushou's body, Li Ziye knew that this old man was much more powerful than Fa Hai.
It can even be said that it is not on the same level at all.
About a quarter of an hour later, Confucius stopped his hand, a look of exhaustion flashed across his old face, and said, "Okay, I can't die now, and I can only rest. Wangyu was seriously injured this time. If he wants to be completely It will take at least half a year to recover.”
"so long?"
Li Ziye said in surprise.
"By counterattacking the true energy and performing forbidden techniques, all the meridians in his body have been damaged. You should know best how difficult it is to repair the injuries to the meridians. Half a year is the least."
Having said this, Confucius looked at the young man in front of him and said with a smile, "Your Li family is as rich as any other country. The reserves of great medicines in your house are even greater than those of the eldest grandson's family who is engaged in medicinal materials business. I heard that you use these great medicines every day." How about taking a medicinal bath, and give some to my Wang Yu every time."
"It's all used up."
Hearing this, Li Ziye hurriedly shook his head and said, "Moreover, the Li family has been suppressed by various forces recently, and business is not easy to do. The money turnover is difficult. Confucian leader, let Little Red Riding Hood stay in Taixue Palace to recuperate. I think you There are still a lot of elixirs in the alchemy room, so we can wait until Little Red Riding Hood recovers."
"Ah."
Kong Qiu smiled faintly and said, "My Wangyu got hurt because I was trying to help you. Boy, it's not a good idea to burn bridges by crossing the river."
"No way."
How could Li Ziye be deceived by this bad old man? He grinned and said, "I just think that with a peerless master like Confucian Master in Taixue Palace, it would be safer for Little Red Riding Hood to stay here. After all, Fahai is very likely not to give up." , I don’t know when I went to Li Yuan to look for trouble.”
This old man is very bad. The Li family is already having a headache raising such a prodigal thing like him. After all, those big medicines are not big carrots. You can get as many as you want. They are all money. Add in a little red riding hood and the Li family will go bankrupt. No.
"Don't worry, Fa Hai was severely injured by the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal. He won't trouble you again in a short time. Besides, Li Yuan also has a sword fanatic, so I'm very relieved." Kong Qiu said with a smile.
"Old man, don't think that I don't know what you are planning."
Li Ziye stopped pretending and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know how much money it costs to keep a medicine jar? Unless you give me some compensation, I won't be able to explain to my eldest sister when I go back. She is in charge of the Li family's accounts. If she doesn’t give me such a large amount of expenses, I will have to sell myself to make money.”
"compensate?"
Confucius thought for a while and said, "The performance of the Confucian sect in recent years has not been very good. There is definitely no money. There are only so many elixirs in the alchemy room. You have already taken a lot. If you take more, I am afraid that the old teachers will learn from it." Everyone will have opinions, it’s up to you to decide.”
"..."
Li Ziye was speechless and said through gritted teeth, "Does the Confucian leader mean that he doesn't want to give anything?"
"I didn't say anything."
Confucius smiled and said, "Well, Taixue Palace needs to purchase a batch of Confucian robes recently, so how about ordering them from the Li family, so that your Li family can make a lot of money."
"Ah."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "It's just a few shabby school uniforms and a huge profit. Old man, although I don't care about the accounts, I'm not a fool. No, unless all the purchases of Taixue Palace are taken over by my Li family. Otherwise, Little Red Riding Hood should stay and raise her in Taixue Palace."
Li Ziye also had some small calculations of his own. He knew that as long as Taixue Palace was tied to the Li family's ship, the imperial court would have to be wary of attacking the Li family in the future.
"Haha, you kid, you are really a master who refuses to suffer any losses."
Of course, Kong Qiu also saw what the little guy in front of him was thinking, laughed loudly, nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, it's the same for anyone. I'll give it to you, the Li family. From now on, Wang Yuruo will take over the old man's position, and with the two of you." relationship, it will be more convenient to cooperate.”
"Have a vision."
Li Ziye gave a thumbs up and said, "Then I'm leaving. I'm almost falling apart after all the hard work I put on this night. Fortunately, I'm young and can hold on."
"Let's go."
Confucius did not hold back, and said with a smile, "Take good care of my Wangyu Confucian sect. I will rely on him to revive it in the future."
"knew."
At this moment, Li Ziye did not hear what Confucius said, so he responded casually, then stepped forward to pick up Little Red Riding Hood and left.
"Boy."
When Li Ziye was about to leave the wooden house, Confucius spoke from behind and whispered, "The extreme night has begun."
In front of the wooden house, Li Ziye shuddered, nodded immediately, and walked away.
Damn old man, you know how to push him.
He has worked very hard, but his talent is poor and there is nothing he can do.
In the wooden house, Kong Qiu looked at the young man's leaving figure, with a strong look of exhaustion flashing across his old face.
When the polar night falls, monsters will eat people. This is a certainty.
And the human world needs variables!
He has found the variable, however.
Not strong enough.
In the capital, on the streets, Li Ziye carried Little Red Riding Hood on his back and walked forward under an umbrella. After running around all night, he was injured again. In fact, his condition was not too good.
It had been raining heavily all night, and it was already approaching dawn when Li Ziye walked back to Li Garden.
In the east, the moment the fish belly turned white, the heavy rain in the sky gradually stopped strangely.
In the front yard, Li Youwei waited for most of the night under an umbrella. When she saw her little brother coming back, she finally felt relieved.
However, when Li Youwei saw the large and small wounds on Li Ziye's body, her expression suddenly changed. She took two steps forward and asked with concern, "Brother, are you injured?"
"Fortunately, Little Red Riding Hood was injured more seriously than me. What's worse is the little bald donkey. It's not sure whether he is still alive now."
Li Ziye grinned and said, "Sister Youwei, we suffered a big loss this time. All two of my thugs were gone. I can only rely on myself from now on."
"Look for me again when I get a chance."
Li Youwei said distressedly, "Let's go back to the room, and the eldest sister will give you medicine."
"Um."
Li Ziye nodded and walked toward the inner courtyard with Little Red Riding Hood on his back.
…
Mobei, the junction of polar night and day.
Night falls and day turns to night.
In an instant, black energy surged across the sky, and countless monsters poured out, madly pounced on the soldiers of the four Mobei tribes who were preparing to rest.
"ah!"
Screams echoed through the night.
This is where the killing begins.
When daylight came again, the camps in the four parts of Mobei were full of broken limbs and bones, and the ground was filled with blood and bones. They were extremely miserable.
Monsters eat people, and the polar night falls.
