Xia Changfeng, who was sitting in the pavilion, listened to his daughter's cries, and suddenly felt that the current Tianluo City was even more troublesome than the chaos in Southern Xinjiang when he was in the Five Regions.
During the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, he had his husband stationed in the back city, and his national adviser led a large army to fight in the border areas.
But now, the husband has turned around and left with Tang Qiuyu. It seems that he will not contact her again for many years...
The national master who fought for him back then was obviously on the opposite side of his daughter, and he also found an old Taoist priest who was not afraid of Mount Sumeru as his master.
Everything that was going to happen next, not to mention him, even the husband who had just left, was powerless.
Jiang Ruoyu looked at Shangguan Wushuang, who was sitting silently by the side, and sighed: "Wushuang, your parents have returned to your husband. When do you plan to return to Tianxiang City?"
Shangguan Wushuang was startled, looked at her and replied: "Tomorrow... when we return to Tianxiang City, it will snow soon."
Jiang Ruoyu looked at her and said: "If Wutong has nothing to do from now on, let her go to Tianxiang Academy to practice with you."
I can’t go to Mount Sumeru for the time being, so I can only settle for the next best thing and find a pretty good place to practice.
After all, Mu Mu from Phoenix Valley stopped paying attention to her daughter.
Only then did Jiang Ruoyu become anxious. It turned out that what she and Xia Changfeng meant was that after Xia Wutong got married, Wuhua would take her daughter to Phoenix Valley to find Mumu and seek opportunities in Phoenix Valley.
But now, this idea is probably going to come to nothing.
Xia Wutong looked at the mandarin ducks swimming away in the lake and sighed quietly.
He murmured to himself: "Mandarin ducks want to fly together. It's a pity that the old man turned white first..." For a moment, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I was even more entangled than whether I should go to the Shura Heaven with Nangong Ruyu.
If I had known this, it would be better to follow Yu'er's mother to go under the starry sky. At least ten years later, I can see my old friend again.
There was mist and rain in the big lake, and the mandarin ducks playing in the water disappeared in an instant.
...
The sky cleared up, but Li Xiuyuan, who was still sleepy-eyed, was waved by the old Taoist priest and got up while shouting to wash himself and make porridge and water.
A ray of sunlight shines down in the sky, illuminating the grass that has not yet withered, and also illuminating a large pit that was opened last night.
After shouting a few words, Li Xiuyuan started to chatter while lighting the fire.
However, what he was nagging about was not whether the old Taoist priest would give him a panacea, but lamenting the endless practice.
Although he had worked very hard in the Shura Realm, after his hard work, he finally looked like a monk. However, in the eyes of the master, he was a child who could not even be considered a cultivator.
Not to mention cultivating the mind.
If everything goes as Master said, and he has to make such a painful choice, then the hardships he endured before are really nothing.
"What were you thinking about last night? You couldn't stop talking nonsense all night. Did you deliberately torture me? It's you who drives the car today. I want to catch up on my sleep."
"Cultivation of the mind is not about having you dream every night and practice in your dreams!"
"Think about it, you are the divine dragon above the nine heavens, how can you bow to the world!"
"Good disciple, come on, I will take good care of you!"
The Taoist priest scolded and encouraged. Li Xiuyuan, who was making a fire to cook porridge, couldn't help but smile.
The sunshine is just right today, suitable for traveling.
There are green grass all over the ground, a few pieces of bluestone, and the occasional bird flying over, singing a cappella.
The horses that got up early had already gone to look for food, waiting for their master to call them to continue their journey.
"Master, let these two horses go when you get to the field. They should have free choice." For some reason, he thought of the little white horses in the wild Ding'an City.
Xiaobai, who followed his master to the Shenlong Continent, didn't know what he looked like after transforming.
"You decide, you can let them go at any time, I don't care." The old Taoist priest looked at him and smiled lightly: "
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
As long as you are not afraid of hardship. "
"I said, Master, I'm busy. You're lying on the ground and your back hurts."
Li Xiuyuan stirred the porridge in the pot and boiled water to prepare a pot of tea for the old Taoist priest.
"Can we just eat porridge and not drink tea?" Li Xiuyuan felt that his hands and feet were not enough.
"You don't have to eat rice! How can you have less tea?" The old Taoist priest muttered softly while cleaning up the animal rug on the floor: "Drinking tea can calm your mind."
"Why didn't I see my husband and sister catching up with them?" Li Xiuyuan murmured as he squatted by the fire. He and the old Taoist priest ran very fast, and rested for a night in Dagou Town.
Mumu should have caught up by this time.
"I deliberately took a detour." The old Taoist priest said, "I don't want to hang out with them. Don't you know that being a teacher is afraid of trouble?"
"Master, are you afraid that your master's wife will cause you trouble?" Li Xiuyuan muttered and served a bowl of porridge to the old Taoist priest, thinking that Mumu and Xiaoqing don't know how to do that either?
...
In the crisp autumn weather, Li Xiuyuan learned to drive a carriage, and the old Taoist priest lay in the carriage with his eyes closed to relax.
The horse ran happily for half an hour, and the old Taoist priest suddenly said: "I have nothing to do today, so I will tell you a story."
"Okay, my disciples are all ears!"
Gently waving the whip in his hand, Li Xiuyuan discovered the joy of driving a car for the first time.
The old Taoist priest twitched the corner of his mouth, sighed, and spoke leisurely.
It is said that a long time ago, there was a commander-in-chief Li Jing of Chentangguan. His wife was pregnant with a child for three years and six months, and finally gave birth one night.
Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a fleshy ball-shaped monster.
Li Jing was furious and slashed away with his sword. Unexpectedly, a fat boy with a white face jumped out of the flesh ball, hugging his neck and calling him daddy.
Li Qing was surprised and happy when he saw it. His heart softened and he held the child to show to his wife. The couple loved each other so much that after three years, they finally gave birth to a chubby son.
The next day, among the congratulatory guests in the mansion came a Taoist priest from Jinguang Cave named Taiyi Zhenren.
Master Taiyi took the boy as his disciple, named him Nezha, and gave him the Qiankun Circle and Huntian Ling, both of which were treasures of the Golden Light Cave.
In the blink of an eye, Nezha turned seven years old.
The weather was hot this year. Nezha went to take a bath in the Jiuwan River outside Chentangguan. The silk in his hand stirred up the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.
The Dragon King ordered Yaksha and the third prince to capture Nezha, who was making trouble. However, Nezha was too strong and killed Yaksha who wanted to kill him first.
Later, it was learned that the third prince Ao Bing who came to look for trouble was evil in nature and often went to the world to do evil and robbed women. In anger, he beat the third prince to death and pulled out his dragon tendons.
After learning about it, the Dragon King was very angry and went to Chentangguan to capture Nezha to avenge his son. However, Nezha's magic weapon was too powerful and he couldn't defeat him.
So he looked at Nezha and said, "I can't beat you. If I go to the upper world to complain, someone will always come to deal with you!"
When Li Jingfu and his wife saw Long Er walking away on the clouds, they couldn't help crying.
Nezha couldn't bear it, so he ran to Jinguang Cave to seek help from his master.
The real person gave him an invisibility charm and asked him to catch the Dragon King in front of the Nantian Gate who wanted to complain to heaven... When Nezha brought the snake-like Dragon King home, he scared Li Jing half to death.
In desperation, Nezha had to let the Dragon King go.
After the transformation, the Dragon King looked at the father and son and said, "It would be unworthy of a gentleman not to take revenge. Just wait!"
A few days later, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, together with the other Dragon Kings of the Three Seas and an army, surrounded Chentangguan and ordered people to tie up Li Jing and his wife with the intention of beheading them.
Nezha is back.
Nezha said angrily: "Evil dragon, please let go of my parents, or we will never end with you!
The Dragon King of the East China Sea roared: "A life for a life, come here to accept your life!"
Nezha said: "One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. I will give my life in exchange for my parents!"
After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Fu Jing and his wife, and said: "Children are filial, parents' kindness in raising them is the only
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I will repay you in the next life! "
For the safety of the people in the city, Nezha stepped forward and committed suicide in grief and anger. In front of the Dragon King of the Four Seas, he cut off the bones to return to his father and the flesh to return to his mother. His blood spattered Chentangguan.
When King Wuwang of the East saw that Nezha was dead, he had to let go of the people of Chentangguan and Li Jing and his wife.
Nezha's immortal ghost went to the Golden Light Cave and found his master.
Taiyi Zhenren sighed deeply and used the lotus flowers and fresh lotus roots in the lotus pond outside the cave as his body to revive Nezha...
At this point, the old Taoist priest sighed and said leisurely: "That kid also has a powerful master and is very good at martial arts... so what? His weakness is his parents in Chentangguan. "
Li Xiuyuan, who was driving the carriage, asked puzzledly: "The evil dragon is causing trouble, is it possible that there is no king's method?"
The old Taoist priest with half-closed eyes smiled faintly and said: "The evil slaves of Tianluo City Lord's Mansion are wielding swords to kill people in Dagou Town. Is it possible that there is no king's method?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "So who has the bigger fist, who will make the decision?!"
"Isn't it?" The old Taoist priest looked at the few dark clouds floating in the sky and replied calmly: "The sky is unpredictable, my disciple, practicing cultivation is a very lonely and painful thing in the end."
Li Xiuyuan didn't take it seriously. The master and apprentice looked at the lingering clouds in the sky and walked forward unsteadily.
Unknowingly, the sun was heading west, and if they didn't pass by the village, the master and the apprentice would have to sleep in the wilderness again.
"I told you to speed up. I want to take a hot bath tonight and enjoy myself." The old Taoist priest looked at the lazy Li Xiuyuan and shouted.
Before he could finish his roar, Li Xiuyuan pointed in front and said with a smile: "Master, there is a small town just across the road. We must have a good meal tonight."
Li Xiuyuan is not short of money right now, and he has the space rings of more than fifty killers in Tianluo City in his pocket.
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he couldn't help scratching his head and saw three characters engraved on the stone tablet on the roadside: Dalu Town.
"Dalu Town?" The old Taoist priest shook his head, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile, "Have we always walked on the trails?"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh: "Master, you haven't told the story behind Nezha yet."
The old Taoist priest glared at him and muttered: "My teacher is just telling you a truth. Sometimes the choices you face may cost your life. I am not telling you where the owner of the story went."
"Master, you are unreasonable!"
With a flick of his riding whip, Li Xiuyuan drove the carriage into the intersection of Dalu Town and cheered: "We're going to have a big meal today."
"You're too happy too soon!" The old Taoist priest suddenly said inexplicably as he retreated into the carriage.
"I have spiritual stones, so I don't need money anymore."
The sparkling carriage and two wildebeest horses pulled the master and apprentice slowly towards the town. The pedestrians and shops on the roadside made Li Xiuyuan feel fresh, because this was no longer a dog fighting town.
After staying away from the bloody place, he wanted to take a good bath as the old Taoist priest said, change into clean clothes, and then go shopping to see if he could buy some gifts for his mother and sister.
The hour was about to end, the last rays of the setting sun were blocked by a dark cloud on the horizon, and twilight was about to fall.
Li Xiuyuan was thinking about asking passers-by about the location of the inn in the town, but he heard a woman's screams and cries not far ahead.
There was a thump in my heart, and I thought, could it be that this Dalu Town is not peaceful either?
"Drive over slowly and take a look!"
Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, I was just about to ask Master if he wanted to join in the fun, but you spoke first.
He murmured in his heart, but tightened the reins in his hands, slowing down the horse's speed.
Then, two wildebeests slowly pulled the carriage closer to the noisy crowd...
