Several people walked in the opposite direction of the crowd, heading towards Danlie City.
Jiang Yu asked. "Is this what they are?"
"You should be praying to God and worshiping Buddha, so don't pay attention to it." Xu Jinxin rarely had the leisure to speak elegantly.
Li Yi nodded. "Most of the people in southern Xinjiang are mainly engaged in the meteorite business. There is a Taoist temple in the rear. These people want to come here and hope to achieve greater glory in the coming year. No matter what happens, there will be no illness or disaster."
Several people came to the city and first found an inn to stay.
While Xu Jinxin and Nangong Zhenyi were still cleaning up the room, Li Yi had already gone out.
Xu Jinxin, who was bored, set up a chessboard in the room again and started to enjoy himself again.
Nangong Zhenyi opened the door, but did not disturb him. He still looked like he was contemplating.
She thought that this man looked a bit like Senior Brother Deng Shilin, somewhat indescribably calm.
Yes, Senior Brother Deng Shilin also likes to study the chess game with his eyebrows thoughtfully as he does, as to what its use is. She thought it was probably just to pass the time.
She sat opposite Xu Jinxin, cut a cup of tea and handed it to him. It's rare to ask, "How's it going?"
He was just immersed in it when he suddenly saw the tea in front of him, then he saw her and said quickly. "Oh, thank you."
Nangong Zhenyi stroked his hair and said. "You're welcome."
Xu Jinxin suddenly looked at her and said. "I have heard you say several times that I am from Langya Pavilion, but I have never asked carefully. But is it true?"
"Yeah!" Nangong Zhenyi nodded.
"It is said that the chess saint on the mountain has amazing chess skills, but is it true?"
"Um!"
"Can you?"
"I know a little bit, but I'm not proficient."
"Then help me figure out how to break this chess game. I haven't figured it out yet."
As he spoke, he didn't care about Nangong Zhenyi, but instead sipped his tea on his own.
Nangong Zhenyi also looked down at the chessboard on the table, but had no intention of thinking about the chess game.
Thinking about it, Xu Jinxin's breath was a kind of poison that made people unable to calm down, making it impossible for her to calm down.
She didn't lie, she only knew a lot about chess and wasn't proficient at all. So when he said he would help him gain enlightenment, he actually found the wrong person.
In the past, I didn't go to my uncle's place just to play chess, but because I wanted to hear the stories that my uncle heard when he was in Nanmu.
Come back here.
Jiang Yu was diligent, so he tidied up the room and sat on the bed to practice.
If someone were standing in front of her at this moment, they would definitely find that the spiritual energy in her body was stronger than before.
In just half an hour, she had already broken through from the peak of the Xuan level to the back realm.
And Nangong Zhenyi's strength at the moment is only that of the back realm. Even at the peak back realm, she is only half a step away from catching up with her.
Li Yi walked around Dongshi and discovered that southern Xinjiang is indeed rich in meteorites. Most of them along the way are a dazzling array of meteorites.
Meteorites had been mentioned before, but he didn't know what they were used for.
But he went to the library to check, and finally realized that meteorites are indeed very useful. No wonder Southern Xinjiang, which is located in a barbaric land, started from scratch.
After that, he went to the crowded Nanshi Pharmacy and walked around inside again.
Unfortunately, no Wen Ling Cao could be found that could cure Xu Jinxin.
Of course, he didn't see the Heart-broken Seven-Star Flower and Helin Rong that Jiang Yu had told him about before in Qingpingzhuang.
At that time, Jiang Yu was sitting on the railing in the yard, looking at him quietly, his eyes full of worry.
Although he didn't ask, he also knew that she was afraid of delaying her trip and that the young gentleman lying on the hospital bed in the northwest would die.
Later, he locked himself in the room and read the book called "The Formation Canon" over and over again, probably because of her.
Maybe Uncle Xi's joke was always on his mind.
It's a pity that it was too late for him to really meet her, otherwise he would have knelt down and begged Zhang Chuxin to go to the northwest and at least save the young gentleman named Jiang Ren.
Otherwise, Su Wanli, the little miracle doctor who can destroy heaven and earth with just one strike, can do the same.
But he thought so in his heart, who knew that Zhang Chuxin went to Daoxian Sect all because of him.
That day, he was in a coma to save Xu Jinxin. Zhang Chuxin went up the mountain to become someone else's disciple in order to beg Taoist Linghuai to save him.
Originally, he actually wanted to go to southern Xinjiang with him.
However, I can't help myself.
Li Yi walked out of the drug store, looked up at the dark night, and sighed. When he was about to leave, someone stopped him.
"Brother, I don't understand meteorites. I guess you're not from southern Xinjiang, right?"
He turned around, and a young man in his twenties walked towards him with a smile.
He looked closely, and although the light was not very good, he could still see the outline of the man. He looked good and was relatively tall.
He asked, a little confused. "Your Excellency said that, but I'm here?"
"Exactly, the people coming and going here are the ones who don't understand meteorites. Do you think there is anyone else besides you? To be honest, I have been paying attention to you for a long time."
Li Yi thought about it and realized that he was the only one who didn't understand anything along the way. No wonder this brother said this.
He touched the thorn on his waist and clenched it cautiously. After all, words like "I've been paying attention to you for a long time" usually come from the mouth of bad people.
The young man waved his hand. "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. If you don't believe me, brother, you can ask."
"If you are a good person, why are you following me?"
"I'm just curious. To be honest, I'm not from southern Xinjiang."
Li Yi was speechless. Just because he was not from southern Xinjiang, he was following him? Are you afraid of being said to be a typical example of a shameless lecher if you speak out?
"Look at the way brother looked just now, what medicinal materials are you looking for?" the young man asked.
"A friend was sick, and the medicine he needed was very special. I thought it was only available in southern Xinjiang, so I made a special trip."
"I see. Brother, can you tell me what the medicinal materials are? Maybe I can help. I've been here for a while, and I know this place fairly well."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to speak like this, and then explained. "I am also from Xichu. Seeing that Xiongtai has just arrived, I always feel that I can help within my ability and have no other intentions."
Li Yi didn't care and said calmly. "He LinRong, Heartbroken Seven Star Flower, brother, is there anything you can do?"
When the young man heard this, he touched his nose and said with some embarrassment. "Just now."
Li Yi sneered. "Are you talking big words?"
"Indeed. But the other medicinal materials are fine. This graminus and the seven-star flower are sure."
Really? Really rare? Or can no one find it at all?
Presumably, they all have it!
"Most people can't find it, brother, you don't have to look like this. In fact, before you say it, I already know the result. But, thank you."
The young man slapped his chest. "That's very polite. I'm always willing to help others, let alone help you!"
The young man said, suddenly thought of something and said. "I just forgot to introduce you. I'm Wang Liwei. I don't know what your surname is, brother?"
Li Yi cupped his fists. "Li Yi."
"Li Yi, that's a good name."
Li Yi muttered in his heart. He was just saying a name. How could this person recognize it as a good name? He didn't even think it was that good. There is no other meaning when choosing a name!
Wang Liwei said as they walked all the way to the end. "Brother Li, did you come to Southern Xinjiang alone?"
"I still have a few friends, but I don't think I had a good rest in the past few days. I am resting in the inn now."
"That's it." Wang Liwei nodded. Seemingly remembering something again, he continued to ask. "By the way, is your sick friend cursed by something?"
Li Yi was stunned and looked at him, not knowing what to say.
To be honest, he really didn't know if Jiang Ren had ever been cursed.
"There are a lot of people talking here, come with me."
Li Yi originally planned to go back, but after hearing what Wang Liwei said, he became curious.
Being cursed sounds interesting, but is the person Wang Liwei is talking about Jiang Ren? Does Jiang Yu know her?
The two of them entered a teahouse with few customers and found a remote corner to sit down.
Wang Liwei poured him a cup of tea, handed it to him, poured himself another cup, and said. "Is your friend very smart?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, wondering how he knew.
You know, there are very few people who know Jiang Ren is smart.
"How did Brother Wang know?"
Wang Liwei smiled. "I've met him, and to be honest, he's a very interesting guy."
Li Yi was a little confused and touched his waist. The thorn still had residual warmth. But he no longer had the urge to kill the person in front of him with a stick as before.
"But Jiang Ren?"
"That's right. The Wang family and the Jiang family are family friends, but in recent years, they have rarely moved around."
"It sounds like Brother Wang has a lot of background, but he doesn't move around much for some reason! Of course! If Brother Wang doesn't feel comfortable talking, then that's fine. After all, I'm not someone who insists on listening to others' opinions."
"Have you ever heard of the Jincheng Wang Family?"
Li Yi nodded. He naturally knew that the Wang family was not only well-established but also famous.
The Wang family guards the southeastern area and monopolizes the meteorites heading to Western Chu, making them extremely wealthy.
Wang Liwei smiled and continued. "Because I have money, I move around less."
Because I have money!
This reason is a bit arbitrary, but it hits the nail on the head.
But what he said was right, because he was rich, the man on the dragon throne had been staring at him for a long time.
Li Yi didn't want to care whether his family had made Long Yan of the Imperial Capital angry, so he asked about his doubts.
"So in the past half day, Brother Wang said that the cursed one was Jiang Ren?"
"Yes, it's that guy. That guy couldn't practice well at the beginning, and he wasn't smart enough. Now he's very powerful. In the past year, Xichu has turned things around because of him, and the shadow army that has been approaching the imperial capital has been pushed to the northwest corner."
Li Yi still didn't understand what this had to do with Jiang Ren being cursed.
Wang Liwei seemed to see his doubts and continued. "I think this is the price of being smart. If you want to quell the war, someone has to sacrifice. It's him."
Li Yi thought of that young gentleman who did look quite attractive. Not long ago, he was almost chased to death because of him. And was he really cursed by some fable? But it sounds really incredible.
"Brother Wang is saying that the reason why he was cursed is that he became smart and able to strategize?"
"It's not appropriate to say it's a curse. I think exchange is more appropriate. The monk must have told him that for the sake of Xi Chu's future peace for a hundred years, he made the exchange."
"So the price is death, right?"
"I heard him say that it's not that there is no solution. As long as you find the gram antler and the heart-broken seven-star flower, you can solve it yourself. As for how to solve it, I don't know."
"Then, who is the person in exchange?"
Wang Liwei shrugged. "I don't know either, he didn't tell me."
"So, you guessed it when I mentioned Helinanthus and Heartbroken Seven-Star Flower for the first time. My coming here this time has something to do with him."
"You can say that."
Just as Li Yi was about to speak, someone walked in from the teahouse lobby.
Li Yi looked over and saw a girl holding an umbrella.
The girl was dressed in a black robe, and her head was somewhat covered by a bamboo hat, but she could still see some indifference.
If you don't know her, you will think that someone who carries an umbrella on a hot day must be a sick person. But people I know don’t think so. Don't even dare to think so.
This umbrella is not just for protecting people from wind and rain; it is also used as a murder weapon.
Wang Liwei called out. "This way."
Li Yi looked at Wang Liwei and asked. "know?"
Wang Liwei smiled. "A friend from southern Xinjiang asked her to help with something."
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old and looked very young.
The girl sat down, her face expressionless.
The girl looked at Li Yi and asked. "he is?"
Wang Liwei immediately explained. "A friend is from Xichu, his name is Li Yi."
"Chen Wan, I have met Mr. Li."
Li Yi returned the favor with cupped fists. "Li Yi."
Chen Wan looked at Wang Liwei and handed over an invitation. "It wasn't easy, but I finally got it."
"Thanks."
"Why do you want to compete? I have the impression that you don't like these?"
"It seems you don't know me well yet. I'm just an ordinary person who always likes to fight and kill."
"Wouldn't it be more appropriate if it were replaced by bravery and ruthlessness?"
"Yes, yes, thank you very much for your kind words, girl."
"I have a lot of things going on there, so I can't stay too long, so I'm leaving."
The girl stood up and left. When she reached the door, she turned around and said. "However, you are dressed appropriately today, and you finally look better than before."
Wang Liwei scratched his head, looked at Li Yi and said. "Have it?"
Li Yi smiled and didn't answer.
When he returned to the inn, Li Yi saw Jiang Yu outside the door.
Jiang Yu was wearing a long white dress and stood on the steps at the door looking at the western sky.
The red sunset in the distance has long since disappeared, leaving only the endless night.
She had an expressionless face, but she thought she was hiding it well enough to be difficult for others to spot.
Li Yi squeezed the thing in his hand, but still didn't take it out. Instead, he hid it before walking over.
Jiang Yu heard the footsteps and turned his head.
She looked at him with a smile and her tone was calm. "came back?"
"Um!"
"How do you think this place compares with Xichu?"
Li Yi felt that there was some complaint in her voice, as if she had gone away happily without her.
He was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly. "Except there are more snakes and insects, it's better than Xichu. At least it's not like Xichu, where the people are in dire straits."
"Yeah!" Jiang Yu nodded. He asked, looking at his sleeves. "Do you have something up your sleeve?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, his heart seemed to be tugged by something, and he felt as if he had been caught stealing something.
"Ah! No, there is nothing hidden."
Jiang Yu nodded. "Forget it, it's not a precious thing after all. It's okay not to look at it."
Li Yi didn't speak, so she said again. "I'm going to Huadu outside the city tomorrow. I want to try my luck there. Can you go?"
Li Yi looked at her, and she looked at Li Yi. Her eyes were so clear that no impurity could be seen, and they were not like the eyes of the miracle doctor Su Xiao who he asked to accompany him.
"good!"
This is good, it can be regarded as an agreement, and it is a bit straightforward. As for why, you can kneel down and ask God to know.
"Then get up early tomorrow. The journey is not close. If you are delayed going back and forth, I'm afraid it will take a whole day."
Li Yi nodded.
"Okay, now that the matter has been explained clearly, let's go to bed early and leave!" She said, walking towards her and Nangong Zhenyi's room.
She left simply, as if she had nothing important to say when she came here, but just invited him to enjoy the flowers and scenery together.
He looked at her back and suddenly remembered the first time he climbed the wall and saw her when he heard her piano for the first time.
At that time, she was also like this, making people feel confused.
Later, Uncle Xi often joked about this, saying that if he likes someone, he should express his feelings early and his words should be meaningful.
