Xiantu City.
Miaodanfang.
backyard.
In the backyard, Li Shuidao walked in leisurely and saw a small woman in a white dress, standing gracefully in the courtyard.
"Wan'er, you're here." Li Shuidao stepped forward with a smile.
"How's the collection of Pangu's beard going?" Tuoba Wan'er asked eagerly, her bright eyes filled with anticipation.
Li Shuidao smiled slightly and nodded, "Fortunately, I lived up to my fate and picked one."
Hearing this, Tuoba Wan'er's face suddenly burst into a flowery smile, "Great!"
Li Shuidao stretched out his hands and gently held Tuoba Wan'er's slender waist. The two of them cuddled together, lovingly.
"The sun is shining brightly today, how about staying in the courtyard?" Li Shuidao chuckled.
"Yes." Tuoba Wan'er nodded shyly.
After receiving permission, Li Shuidao's fingers gently slid across Tuoba Wan'er's skin, causing a shiver. The two figures intertwined in the sunshine, as if forming a beautiful picture.
The flowers in the courtyard seemed to feel this romance, and they all bloomed with their most beautiful smiles, adding a bit of shyness to the intimacy between the two. The birds sang happily on the treetops, as if wishing for this wonderful blessing.
The breeze blew gently, bringing with it a hint of coolness, but it also blew away the last trace of shyness in Tuoba Wan'er's heart.
She closed her eyes and let Li Shuidao's love surround her, feeling the sweetness and warmth.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, with only the sunshine, the fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds, and the affectionate embrace of the two people.
At this moment...
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and a servant hurriedly walked into the courtyard, "Inform the two masters that there is a visitor."
After the servant finished speaking, he looked up and saw the postures of the two people. He immediately knew that he had come at the wrong time. He was so frightened that he fled in panic...
"Ah... don't worry about him!" Tuoba Wan'er said coquettishly.
"Wan'er..." Li Shuidao whispered, his eyes full of doting.
Tuoba Wan'er smiled softly, her laughter as sweet as a silver bell.
The flowers in the courtyard seemed to feel this enthusiasm, their petals trembled slightly, exuding a faint fragrance.
The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and shines on the two people, forming a beautiful picture.
At this moment, all the worries and constraints disappeared, leaving only the deep affection and love between the two of them.
…
Welcome hall.
A little old man with a serious face carrying a huge black gourd on his back waited silently while the master finished his work.
After the tea was cooled, it was boiled again and again, and time slowly passed away like this...
Finally, a burst of light footsteps broke the silence. A petite woman walked slowly from the backyard. She had a graceful figure and pretty face, with a blush on her face, as if she had just taken some precious elixir.
"It turns out it's a fellow Taoist from the Five Poison Sect who kept you waiting for a long time." Tuoba Wan'er said with a smile, her voice gentle and pleasant.
The old man Heihu replied expressionlessly: "I'm not here to find you."
"Then you are?" Tuoba Wan'er was a little confused.
"I'm here to see Li Shuidao."
"What do you want from him?" Tuoba Wan'er asked warily.
"Ask him something." The old man Heihu said in a cold tone.
"What are you asking about?" Tuoba Wan'er continued to ask.
"Things in the secret realm." The old man Heihu's answer was very concise.
"How did you find him?" Tuoba Wan'er was obviously very interested in this question.
The old man with black gourd took out a golden array plate from his arms unhurriedly. There was a red gold needle spinning on the array plate, exuding a strange aura.
After Tuoba Wan'er saw this array, she frowned slightly and muttered: "Soul lamp?"
The old man with black gourd chuckled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes: "It's impossible for Li Shuidao to betray the Five Poison Sect. His soul lamp is all left in the mountain gate. Don't waste your efforts to win him over. His good body is ruined by a smelly man." Boy, is this appropriate? Besides, you and he are together for no apparent reason and have no status at all. He is already married to the legitimate daughter of the Lan family. If you have to force it, you can only be a concubine. .”
Tuoba Wan'er's face turned gloomy when she heard this. She turned around and left the hall without asking any more questions.
Not long after, Li Shuidao came to the hall alone.
"Junior Li Shuidao, greet Senior Lan." Li Shuidao's words seemed very respectful and humble.
The black gourd old man's common name was Lan Zhifang. Li Shuidao did not know him, but from the secret patterns on his cuffs, he knew that this man was a high-level monk of the Lan family.
When the old man Heihu heard Li Shuidao's greeting, he nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "No need to be polite, I came here just to inquire about the secret realm."
Li Shuidao responded respectfully and waited for Lan Zhifang's question.
Lan Zhifang narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly: "In the secret realm, each of the four major families of our sect sent one person to lead more than 20 Tianbang monks to enter. The Tianbang monks were almost intact, but none of the four people in the team were injured. Returning. I want to know what happened to them in the secret realm, and why did they all die?"
Li Shuidao was silent for a moment. He took a deep breath and recounted the scene of that day: "Senior, at that time the Five Poison Sect was attacked by the poisonous dragon. In order to protect the sect members, the four elders resisted with all their strength, but they still failed. No match for the poisonous mist of the poisonous dragon. I saw them fall one by one with my own eyes..."
Lan Zhifang frowned. What Li Shuidao said confirmed what Poison Hand, Demon Finger and others said.
"Since all four elephants have fallen, how can a group of second-level monks kill the third-level monsters and obtain so many Pangu beards?" Lan Zhifang asked with a puzzled look.
Li Shuidao smiled slightly and explained: "Senior, although the Five Poison Sects were no longer able to form battle formations on their own at that time, they could cooperate with other sects to form battle formations and fight against monsters in the ancient city. Only in this way can we obtain these Pangu Beards. .”
Lan Zhi's expression was gloomy: "This is impossible. How can we cooperate with others and give them Pangu Xu?"
"Who are they cooperating with?" Li Shuidao asked.
"Qinglin Hall."
"Then you go ask the elder of Qinglin Hall." Li Shuidao said with a twinkle in his eye.
"But Yang Zhenglong, the elder of Qinglin Sect, also died..."
Li Shuidao smiled slightly: "Perhaps it is because of his death that the treasure can be divided equally."
Lan Zhifang came back to his senses and nodded sharply.
"You have been out for many years. Now that the secret realm has been closed, when will you return to the Five Poison Sect?" Lan Zhifang asked.
Li Shuidao was silent for a moment and then said, "Wait a moment."
Lan Zhifang narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I see that you are also a man of great ambitions, and you will never be fascinated by a woman. It seems that this time you have got Pangu's beard."
Hearing this, Li Shuidao did not hide anything and nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.
"Okay! It seems that I guessed right. However, having Pangu Xu does not mean that you can refine the Immortal Aperture Pill. It is better to go back with me. This time, our sect has obtained a lot of Pangu Xu and refined the Immortal Aperture Pill. There must be a lot, and you may have a share by then."
The corners of Li Shuidao's lips curled up slightly, "Senior, you are worrying too much. Miss Wan'er is a master of alchemy. She can help me refine the Immortal Ability Pill."
Lan Zhifang looked disdainful, "You are really a soft-hearted guy. But I want to remind you, this woman may not live long..."
Li Shuidao was about to continue asking, but Lan Zhifang didn't say anything more, turned around and left. (End of chapter)
