At ten o'clock, the two of them picked up wine glasses again in the inn.
The difference was that Li Xiuyuan didn't give him anything to drink in Deyue Tower before.
He had just witnessed the attack and killing in Taiping Town. This was also the first time Long Hongchen had seen an assassination among monks. Li Xiuyuan felt that he wanted to suppress his shock.
Long Hongchen held the cup and took a sip, patted his chest and said with a smile, "If my brother hadn't covered my mouth just now, I would have screamed out in fear."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said quietly: "I didn't expect that even if I came to Taiping Town, there would be such an assassination incident."
Holding the wine glass, he took a sip, his eyes filled with confusion.
"In this case, we have to be more careful in the next few days. You must not leave my side, lest you can't find me if something goes wrong."
After witnessing the assassination in the alley, Li Xiuyuan felt a chill in his heart. This was Taiping Town under the rule of the Marshal.
So what if you are Zhuge Xiongfeng's subordinate, why would anyone dare to assassinate you?
Long Hongchen also knew the stakes involved, so he nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, Long Hongchen promises not to run around."
Putting the wine glass on the table, Li Xiuyuan sighed: "I originally thought that the Crescent Valley was dangerous and that returning to Longmen Pass would make me feel at ease. But I didn't expect that this place would be like the world outside. Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes."
"What is Jianghu? Brother." Long Hongchen frowned, as if recalling the plot of the murder in the alley: "Those guys who were blocked in the alley were so miserable."
"What are rivers and lakes? Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Wherever there are people, there are struggles for interests. Where there are fights, there are assassinations like you see. Wherever there are assassinations and calculations, there are rivers and lakes..."
Li Xiuyuan spent a while explaining to him what Jianghu was, and Long Hongchen seemed to understand.
After a while, he said: "Fortunately, it's over. It scared me just now. Brother, let's get out of here."
Facing the bloody reality, Long Hongchen felt a sense of disgust.
After being separated from Xiao Longer and the four girls for several months, he missed the carefree days in the temple.
In Li Xiuyuan's view, all this was helpless.
Because he knew that as long as he left the temple, he would meet monks. The carefree days like those in the temple would probably never come back.
Along the way, before this guy could enjoy half a year of leisure, he had to step into the world of mortals.
"We will set off early tomorrow morning." Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said with a smile, "This is the meaning of the name I gave you. Even if you are a dragon above the nine heavens, there will be a moment when you fall into the world of mortals!"
Seeing that Long Hongchen did not answer his words, Li Xiuyuan continued: "The world of mortals is the world. You will encounter assassinations like today's in the future."
"Long Hongchen is not afraid!" Long Hongchen drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, coughed lightly, stuck out his tongue and said, "Brother and sister are here!"
Li Xiuyuan disagreed, thinking that I will leave you one day, and you must always try to face the ups and downs of the world alone.
However, in his opinion, this should be a long time later.
After all, his master also likes this guy very much, and he might be so happy that he drags Long Hongchen around the world that day.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Long Hongchen subconsciously.
Long Hongchen was smiling as he listened to Li Xiuyuan's words. The wine was too spicy, so he had to drink another large cup of herbal tea.
Then he coughed lightly and said with a smile: "When Long Hongchen becomes powerful in the future, he will protect his sister and brother."
Li Xiuyuan gently squeezed the wine glass and looked at the young man in front of him, as if he saw a picture of him one day in the future, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Hehe smiled and said: "I thought I was lucky at first, but when I think about it carefully, no one in this world has better luck than you."
In his opinion, if he hadn't met this guy accidentally, he would have either become the cannon dust of the demon, or he would have been buried in the cave by the explosion that night.
Not to mention that the old Taoist priest personally took action and changed his bloodline, transforming him from a demon into a dragon overnight.
Long Hongchen looked at him and nodded in understanding, then staggered towards his room.
After drinking a glass of apricot wine, he wanted to sleep again.
Li Xiuyuan looked at his back and ignored him. From now on, he will train Long Hongchen to be able to face danger alone.
After all, fighting against humans is much more dangerous than fighting against monsters. The world is like a chess game and people's hearts are like tigers.
Among the monks who came to Shura battlefield, who didn’t emerge from the pile of dead people?
Looking at the half glass of strong wine on the table, he murmured to himself: "I'm back here, please don't mess with me."
.......
Taiping Town was not peaceful. After breakfast, Li Xiuyuan and Long Hongchen left the city gate early and headed towards Zhuxian Town.
On a day without wind and snow, the two of them could arrive by the time the sun sets in just one day.
In his plan, Zhuxian Zhenjiao was his last place to stay on the Shura battlefield.
There are too many acquaintances, and he will never go to Longmen Pass again.
Just waiting to redeem his military merit, when the battlefield was closed, he took Long Hongchen and Xiao Long'er to the wild Ding'an City, and the Four Seasons Tower in Wangtian City, which was where he wanted to go.
Before leaving, he had to try to repay the debt of gratitude.
Long Hongchen, who was riding on horseback, was very happy. He left Taiping Town and got closer to his four sisters.
In Baiyun City, not far from Taiping Town, on the edge of a large lake, Qin Qianshan was wearing a pure white gown and staring at the water birds on the lake in trance.
After a moment, he sighed and rubbed his forehead. He had been sitting here for two hours.
It wasn't until nearly noon that he decided to get up and leave after sitting there for a long time, when a rapid sound of horse hooves was heard not far away.
I saw a monk in black riding a horse and arrived at the lake in an instant.
The visitor jumped off the wildebeest, hurried forward and handed over a black space ring.
Qin Qianshan was stunned. He took the space ring and looked at it carefully. Then in the strange eyes of the man in black, he said tiredly: "Is there anyone alive?"
The visitor was startled, then lowered his head and responded: "Four targets, if there is no one left alive, they will be burned to the ground."
Qin Zhishan seemed to have a headache when he heard this. He raised his head and sighed, waving the visitor to leave.
It was quiet again by the lake. Qin Qianshan looked at the space ring in his hand and became lost in thought again.
He knew that if someone from Longmen Pass learned the news, he didn't know how big a ripple it would cause. But he didn't care. He had already risked his life for his goal.
Thinking about the rumors he heard in the inn, he already had a poisonous plan in his mind. The worst he could do was let someone out and spill the dirty water on someone.
After all, this is a matter that has no proof. Who knows the truth?
Seeing that it will not be long before the beginning of autumn, as soon as the time comes, the entire Shura battlefield will be completely closed. This matter has become an unsolved case. Who can find out the truth?
Looking up at the frightened waterbirds flapping their wings and flying away on the lake, there is no smell of blood on the lake surface pointed by the breeze.
Thinking about all that happened in the Shura Realm back then, he said softly: "You have your opportunities, and I also have my luck."
...
On the way, Hua Tianyu took his sister and others with him. The one in front was Jun Buyu, who was dressed in a dusty style.
"Brother, I'm too tired. Let's rest for a while before rushing on!" Hua Chenyu, who was riding on the horse, complained.
"Then let's take a rest and have lunch before continuing on our way!" Jun Buyu, who was walking in front, spoke, and Hua Tianyu naturally had no reason to object.
So a group of people stopped and found a place with water to stay. The horse feeder fed the horses, and the cook found some dry food for the stove to make a fire.
Hua Tianyu took out the kettle and took a sip, stretched his sore waist, looked at Jun Buyu and said, "If you want to meet my brother, I'm afraid you won't be like that starving ghost."
Upon hearing this, Jun Buyu couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You can't say such nonsense. After staying here for eight years, I have drunk all the wine I brought with me. I guess he is the only one who still has... "
Hua Chenyu, who had washed his face with water, came over and smiled, shook his head and said, "I just haven't been back to Longmen Pass in a few years. I don't know if that guy is back?"
Huayu Yushou, who was sitting next to him making a fire and boiling water, frowned and said, "He has been missing for eight years, so he should come out to meet people, right? He is not a woman, so why is he so mysterious?"
Hua Tianyu couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Save this for when you see me in person."
Jun Buyu shook his head and sat down. He ignored Hua Tianyu's teasing, but took out his identity token and stood there in a daze.
“I don’t know how many places I can exchange for a place in the sky!”
Thinking of his parents, brother and others in the Demon Realm who could not come, Jun Buyu suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart.
Only then did he remember that once upon a time, his relatives had put their future hopes in his own hands.
And after all these years, even though I have been fighting the devil with all my life, I don't seem to have accumulated much military exploits.
I originally thought that after my realm was broken through, I would work hard to earn more military merits in the last two years, but I never expected that the demon army would withdraw from the Shura battlefield without a word of reluctance.
This is tantamount to catching all the monks off guard.
The atmosphere in the venue became cold. Hua Chenyu glanced at his brother and thought, isn't his family like this? No one expected that the devil would stop fighting if he said so.
The battlefield was obviously tightly closed and no one could enter or exit, but the demon army quietly left.
Thinking of what happened on the battlefield, everyone who is familiar with Li Xiuyuan suspects that this is the result of him, but they have not yet been able to meet the protagonist of this matter.
Everyone is waiting for Li Xiuyuan's return, and everyone even pins their own hopes on this guy.
Hua Chenyu sighed and said gently: "Perhaps we can see that guy when we return to Longmen Pass."
Hua Tianyu smiled, with a bit of bitterness in his smile.
As the prince of the Demon Realm, he has to pin his hopes on his brother. If he says this, everyone will scold him for being incompetent.
When the water boiled and the aroma of tea arose, Hua Chenyu poured hot tea for the two of them and took a cup himself.
After a moment of silence, he looked at the two of them and said, "Speaking of which, aren't Da Chu and Silver Moon Kingdom the same as us? Everyone may be focusing on Li Xiu Yuan."
As soon as he said this, Hua Tianyu couldn't help but look at his sister in astonishment, and Jun Buyu, who was about to drink from the tea cup, also sighed.
Hua Tianyu thought for a while and couldn't help but said softly: "Oh... there are three women behind that guy, and they also need the opportunity to ascend to heaven."
Everyone knows that casual cultivators on the Shura battlefield need three times more military merit than monks like them who serve in the army.
Three times is not a small amount.
There is no one who has never fought against a demon before. It is already difficult to kill a wild beast, but it is even more difficult to fight a demon head-on.
Hua Tianyu raised his glass to the king without saying a word, and said lazily: "Maybe my brother is so courageous that he can solve your and my troubles at once? I don't think it is impossible."
Jun Buyu raised a glass to greet him and said with a smile: "We are all the same. If you have a lot of debts, you don't have to worry about it. Let's meet my brother first. I don't care if he can solve my troubles for me."
However, Hua Chenyu didn't think so. After all, at the foot of Luoxia Mountain, because the demon monks went to trouble Li Xiuyuan for her sake, the two of them gradually drifted apart unknowingly under the bloody storm.
Although Li Xiuyuan didn't mean to blame her later, maybe the cause of the incident was her.
Hua Chenyu suddenly felt a little cowardly and couldn't help but ask Hua Tianyu: "Brother, Li Xiuyuan has alienated Da Chu because of Xiao Qing and Xiao Long'er. He won't even ignore us, right?"
