Just when Wu Suyun from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was ordered by his master to rush down the mountain.
Li Xiuyuan was sitting in front of the fire and was being interrogated by the three women.
Murong Zhilan kept chanting, Baili Yunyan listened silently for a long time, and Tantai Mingyue's eyes went from dark to shining like stars.
Then the three of them asked in unison: "So... what were you doing just now? Why did you have black hair last night and now you have a bald head?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the three women and shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "Is it possible that you didn't hear that earth-shattering thunder? Why don't you go to the hot spring to investigate more carefully?"
In his opinion, that spring thunder was the best explanation. After all, a big crater was created in the extremely hard ground near the hot spring.
In addition, there were signs of burning on the nearby vegetation. Anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance that only lightning from the sky above could create such destructive power.
Whether he was facing the three women and four men in front of him, or when he was passing by and saw the sight of a glacier flying into the sky, he would never admit that it was his fault.
That would only bring him endless trouble.
Fortunately, the spring thunder struck him on the head, giving him a perfect explanation.
Tantai Mingyue sighed and said quietly: "Being struck by lightning...it must be very painful, right?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, stretched out his hand to touch the smooth top of his head, and sighed: "Fortunately, it almost killed me. I just want to get up early and go to a hot spring..."
Different from the past, Li Xiuyuan was secretly grateful for this divine thunder, which allowed him to understand the second form of the Shenlong Sword Technique in an instant.
Sure enough, his master at that time, Long Qingfeng, did not lie to him.
This realm is the first level of heaven. The time he spent in the realm of cave heaven was too short, so that he had no time to fully understand the Shenlong sword technique, so he broke through the realm all the way to transcendence.
Coupled with the series of troubles he encountered after coming to Xuanwu Continent, he did not have a quiet state of mind to comprehend the second method of seeing a dragon and removing his armor.
Until this morning, unintentionally, at the edge of the hot spring at the foot of Yulong Mountain...
After suffering a sudden spring thunder, he finally understood the essence of the sword technique.
From now on, I will continue to practice and hone.
No wonder the old monk I met on the Ziluo battlefield said that the focus of his formless golden body in the future will be on enlightenment from Buddhist scriptures, rather than on the power of medicinal herbs outside the body.
Seeing the disbelief of the three women, he could only continue: "I don't know why I was struck by that thunder for no reason. Could it be because I was holding a sword at the time?"
"You are really a monster. This spring thunder didn't chop you half to death?" Murong Zhilan couldn't help but reached out and touched his bald head.
Then he chuckled: "Would you like to take off your clothes and ask my sister to check your body? Isn't it okay to suffer from any illness or wound?"
Li Xiuyuan gently pushed her hand away and said in a calm voice: "I am timid and afraid of death, so I will protect myself."
The implication is very clear, please don't think of trying to find out the secrets in my heart.
Baili Yunyan slightly blinked her eyelashes and sighed: "It's really amazing, because you were hit by a thunder, we have fish to eat."
Feng Yun, who was sitting aside cooking fish soup, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "Come and try the fish you cooked. It tastes so fresh. I don't know how long it has been since I've eaten it."
When Murong Zhilan heard this, she couldn't help but ask: "Is it delicious?"
Feng Yun looked at her and nodded, saying, "If you don't believe me, come and try."
...
After being hit by a thunderbolt and making a shocking sword strike, Li Xiuyuan summoned the black horse and fed him a piece of bean cake, then he got into his wooden shed and fell asleep.
After all, the three women spoke very frankly, and with Baili Yunyan's injuries, it was not easy for him to secretly go on the road to Tag Snow Mountain alone.
In my dream, I dreamed about my relatives in the Apricot Blossom Valley or the magic in the Phoenix Valley. I was so intoxicated that I didn't want to wake up.
It wasn't until a scent wafted into the wooden shed that I opened my eyes and realized it was getting dusk.
After getting out of the wooden shed, I saw three women gathered around the fire watching Feng Yun cooking.
Watching this delicate man, he waved his knife and cut off a big fish piece by piece, and then poured it into the boiling broth.
Li Xiuyuan took a step forward, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "There are still some peppers, do you want to put them in too?"
He wanted to try fish cooked in a hot pot.
When Murong Zhilan heard this, she exclaimed: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up, didn't you say there is no spice?"
The three girls took advantage of Li Xiuyuan's dream and were about to discuss the taste of hot pot a few days ago. Unexpectedly, this guy actually joined in on his own.
A handful of chili peppers and spices were thrown into the pot, and Feng Yun continued to fillet the fish. The aroma of the meat attracted Wang Yijian and the others.
Murong Zhilan held the bowls and chopsticks and stood beside the pot eagerly, waiting, urging her from time to time.
Baili Yunyan saw her junior sister's anxious look and couldn't help but whisper: "Junior sister, can you be more reserved?"
Murong Zhilan smiled slightly and said, "Not in front of food."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled, sat on a stone nearby and said lightly: "It's a blessing to be able to eat, not bad."
Murong Zhilan couldn't help but said while eating her bowl: "I didn't expect you could really talk. I bet the pot of fish in front of me is the most delicious food I have ever eaten."
She was originally worried that the senior sister would get angry, but she didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan said a word of praise, which made her unable to help herself and became anxious again. .
However, Feng Yun, who was eating fish on the side, didn't seem to hear the quarrel between the three people. He just concentrated on cleaning up one big fish and took out another big fish for surgery.
In order to take Murong Zhilan's eyes away from the iron pot, Li Xiuyuan asked: "Have you seen the map? How many days does it take to get from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to Tag Snow Mountain?"
Listening to this question, Tantai Mingyue, who was silent at the side, replied: "If we walk faster, we should be able to arrive in three to four days!"
Murong Zhilan turned back to look at the two of them and said seriously: "We inquired when we came here. The ruins deep in the snow mountains will not be open until mid-March at the earliest, and they will be open for at least three days.
Looking at the piles of fish fillets on the chopping board, Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied: "As long as it doesn't delay the trip, there is no need to rush all the way. As long as you encounter a place with beautiful scenery, you can rest for a day."
After Fengyun cut several large fish, he asked the three women to take out the cooked fish meat, brush it again, and pour the cut fish fillets into the pot.
As soon as the three women saw it, they quickly grabbed the fish out of the bowl and ate happily. They didn't care that there were several men around them who were also waiting to drink soup and eat meat.
Seeing the three women's happy faces, Feng Yun asked thoughtfully: "Shura, have you got the token to enter the ruins?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head, and replied quietly: "Maybe when I get there, I will meet someone whose cultivation level is too high to enter?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Yun nodded and replied, "Yes, no one knows the final outcome until the last moment."
Li Xiuyuan made a bowl of fish soup and looked at the vast mountains on the other side of the river, wondering when he would climb up to see the scenery.
After all, the scenery that the soul sees above the starry sky is very different from the scenery he himself sees in person.
Murong Zhilan, who was enjoying the excitement at the side, said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago that we asked you to go to Yinchuan City with us. I might as well have gotten the sign by now."
Li Xiuyuan put down the soup bowl and took a sip of the spicy, hot and delicious fish soup. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking that it was so delicious that he would have to stop eating it in the future.
The Buddha said that colorless sound, fragrance, and touch were the Dharma. I accidentally fell into it.
He shook his head and said: "There has never been such a thing as fate in the world. In that case, why should I go to Yinchuan City to make trouble?"
"That's not necessarily true?"
After eating a few pieces of fish, Baili Yunyan, who was so spicy that he couldn't speak, said: "Maybe there will be an opportunity for the monks to transfer their possessions in Yinchuan City, not necessarily."
Tantai Mingyue looked at the two of them and said, "This matter has passed. Don't worry about it anymore."
In her heart, she was very angry that the seven of them did not get an iron plate from Ouyang Chongming. If you keep struggling, won't you look boring?
The four people in Fengyun just kept their heads down and ate fish, and didn't care about the discussions between Li Xiuyuan and the senior sister.
In the eyes of the four of them, these things are of no concern to them.
Three women and four men gathered around the fire and happily enjoyed this rare hot pot. Feng Yun even took a jar of spiritual wine bought from Yinchuan City and poured it into the sky for his companions one by one.
Li Xiuyuan, who had eaten half a bowl of fish, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands at this time, looked at everyone and said, "I'm going to see that naughty horse. You can eat without paying attention to me."
After finishing speaking, Qi Feng straightened out his wrinkled clothes, turned around and looked in the downstream direction.
Murong Zhilan looked at his back and couldn't help but frown. She looked at Tantai Mingyue and asked, "Sister, this guy is eating well, why did he suddenly think of the horse?"
Hearing this, Tantai Mingyue frowned, looked at Li Xiuyuan's back and said, "That guy's horse has never been tied by him, so it's normal to take a look."
Feng Yun pointed at the bubbling broth in the pot and said with a smile: "This meat must be eaten while it's hot. If you cook it, it will end up in the soup."
...
The night wind brought a biting chill from the snow-capped mountains, and even Li Xiuyuan, who had just drank two bowls of fish soup, couldn't help but frown.
Going all the way down, it felt like looking for horses, more like waiting for someone on a spring night.
There was a rolling glacier at his feet, and on the other side of the river was the famous Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. He couldn't understand why trouble would come to him after he had been quiet here for several days.
The sky above is full of stars, and he is walking silently on the wasteland, and a faint figure can be seen vaguely.
In this wasteland, only those with extremely powerful spiritual consciousness would be able to spot the faint and almost invisible figure.
And he didn't want to lead the fire to the seven people in Wuji Holy Land. Regardless of whether they came to find him or not, he had to try to get close to them first.
He wanted to eliminate the danger outside the overnight camp, because once a scuffle broke out, he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of the injured Baili Yunyan.
It seemed that he followed Li Xiuyuan all the way until he was about a mile away from Tantai Mingyue and his group.
A black shadow walked out of the night, as if it came from the dark night.
A man in black clothes with his face covered blocked Li Xiuyuan's way and said coldly: "Stop!"
"I didn't expect that the killer of Yinchuan City would chase him all the way to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain." Li Xiuyuan coughed, still holding his hands behind his back, looking quietly at the masked man in black who was only five feet away from him.
"I am indeed from Yinchuan City."
The visitor looked at him, with a pair of cold eyes under the mask: "Tonight I am not a killer for a bounty. I am here to send you on your way for the death of your two brothers."
Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled, looked around, and asked, "I don't know your two brothers, and I didn't meet any killers here in Jade Dragon Snow Mountain."
The visitor coughed slightly and said coldly: "You didn't meet them in Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but when you left Niujiao Town, you killed two men in black."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and sneered: "Niujiao Town? Men in black? Haha... It turns out that the two men in black who came to assassinate me are the brothers you said."
