The horse without an owner ran wildly across the vast wilderness amidst a burst of howling.
Li Xiuyuan bent down to pick up the bows and arrows on the ground and put them away one by one. These iron arrows could not be wasted as they could be used in the future.
In the snowy sky, Zhang Liang looked over at Zhang Liang, who was fighting the bandits desperately.
With swords facing each other in the wind and snow, Zhang Liang was already entangled with a bandit dressed in black.
The bandit's fatal knife was blocked by Zhang Liang's sword, and in an instant, his left fist struck the man in black's face like lightning!
And Zhang Liang, who was already in the middle stage of foundation building, could not bear the punch that the man in black could throw!
Before the man in black could call his companions for help, he flew away, just as he retracted his sword and was about to kill him again.
Suddenly, my neck felt cold and I couldn't lift it up in one breath. Then I dropped the long knife in my hand, covered my neck tightly, and fell into the snow!
After Zhang Liang's desperate efforts, there were only ten stunned men in black left in the snow!
Zhang Liang, who was almost crazy, became more and more fierce. Like a hungry wolf in the wilderness, he held a sword in both hands and rushed towards the man in black.
After a fierce battle between swords and swords, a ray of sword light suddenly struck from behind Zhang Liang, instantly tearing a long wound on his back and blood gushing out instantly.
Zhang Liang, who was in a state of madness, was so furious that he didn't care about the bandits behind him and continued to rush towards the man in black who was rushing towards him!
"Whoosh!" sounded, and Li Xiuyuan, who was silent, used the bow and arrow in his hand to solve the danger behind him!
The long sword in the running Zhang Liang's hand "dang dang dang" was slashed with the long sword of the man in black. Both sides were fighting desperately.
The man in black's knife slashed across Zhang Liang's left arm in the middle of the slashing. Zhang Liang gathered his true energy, and the long sword in his hand pierced the man in black's neck!
Nagara, who had been stabbed twice, fell weakly to the snow.
He turned around and looked at Li Xiuyuan not far away, and the man in black who slashed him from behind, falling to the snow!
"Whoosh whoosh!" Seeing that Zhang Liang was injured, Li Xiuyuan had to take action again.
Zhang Liang, who fell in the snow, grinned and held back the pain. He saw iron arrows one after another, whizzing past his head and flying towards the man in black who was rushing towards him.
He murmured to himself: "Fortunately, the teacher asked me to come to you..."
Zhang Liang fell seriously injured and fell on the snow. Li Xiuyuan wanted to deal with these guys in front of him as soon as possible. He wanted to see how injured this guy was.
Then, the iron arrows in his hand were like lightning that harvested life, one after another, flying towards the man in black in the wind and snow.
The wind and snow remained as before, and screams rang out in the vast wind and snow.
There was a sound of strings and arrows leaving, and one after another the men in black fell off their horses. Only the frightened horses ran further away.
Li Xiuyuan put away his bow and arrows and pulled Zhang Liang up from the snow. After quietly feeling for his pulse, he went around to clean the battlefield in front of him.
After putting away the weapons and money bag, he threw out the talismans one after another. The man in black in the snow gradually started to burn, and would disappear in less than half an hour.
From a distance, the coachman saw the light of fire in the snow and drove the carriage slowly to the two of them. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "How could this happen?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "Help, get this guy into the car!"
…
This time Zhang Liang was seriously injured and did not wake up until two days later.
After waking up, Zhang Liang silently felt the pain from the wound on his body. He looked at Li Xiuyuan who was standing beside him and smiled bitterly.
He murmured: "Who am I to say, are we getting rich here? You can share some with me!"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at him and smiled: "Are you short of money?"
Zhang Liang sighed and smiled reluctantly: "I almost died here. No matter what, I have to have some income, right?"
"I didn't expect you to be a guy who loves money as much as his life!"
Li Xiuyuan puts it down
With the bamboo slip in his hand, I poured him a cup of hot tea. I also poured a cup and held it in my hand, taking a sip.
He looked at him and said, "Next, you have to practice like Xu Fu and the others with all your might, otherwise who will save you next time?"
Zhang Liang took the hot tea handed over by Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "I understand now why the teacher asked me to go to the East China Sea to find you and accompany me to Dayan. He is afraid that I will die here!"
"It's a pity you didn't bring Xiao Hei!"
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "Dayan is also a river and lake. Remember, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. You will face situations like today many times in the future!"
"Lao Zhang, how much more do you need to get to Jicheng?"
Zhang Liang opened the corner of the curtain and shouted to the coachman. He looked at the snow and fog in the sky as if to vent his dissatisfaction.
Lao Zhang, who was driving the car, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, we still have one day to go to Jicheng!"
Li Xiuyuan thought about Gao Jianli and Jing Ke and couldn't help but ask: "Is this the time?"
Zhang Liang stared blankly at the snowstorm outside the car, and said softly: "The teacher asked me to come here to meet someone! We can have a good rest for a few days when we get to Jicheng."
Li Xiuyuan thought about whether he should meet Gao Jianli when he got here and whether he could meet that guy on the street.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Let's go our separate ways. I'll stay quietly in the inn for a few days before talking."
Whether Zhang Liang was going to meet the monarch of Dayan or Prince Dan, Li Xiuyuan decided not to join in the fun unless he saw Gao Jianli on the street.
He didn't even want to see Jing Ke, because he still couldn't change the fate of some people. The old Taoist priest had warned him last time.
If it happened again, he didn't dare to think about it.
If you can meet Gao Jianli at a street corner in Jicheng, you can have a drink happily, or watch Gao Jianli and Jing Ke passing by in front of you from a distance, and then disappear on the long street.
A gust of cold wind blew by, Zhang Liang couldn't help shivering, and looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled lightly.
He smiled and said, "You are wearing a brocade robe and fur coat, how can you be so cold?"
Zhang Liang shook his head and said seriously: "The cold wind in spring and the snow in winter are symbols of the four distinct seasons in the world. I am just a mortal."
Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan remembered last winter, when he and Xiao Hei had just arrived in this world and saw the assassin lying in the snow on the street.
Born like a mayfly, life is like a summer flower. Before it could fully bloom, it fell under a hail of arrows from the Qin army.
"The wind is blowing...the wind is blowing..."
Li Xiuyuan sighed lowly, not knowing whether it was for the man in black who fell under the arrows of the Forbidden Army, or for the hot-blooded men of Dayan.
"It's hard to come to Dayan. Don't you want to see the suffering men here? Or do you no longer have heroes in your eyes?"
Zhang Liang thought that he could complete the mission in less than two days, so he was not in a hurry for a while.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said softly: "You and I have different paths of cultivation. Naturally, we shouldn't force our own behavior. Go on your own..."
After a night of mental distress due to Yeluqi on the Tianshan Mountains, he felt a hint of the artistic conception of the Requiem. Now that he has come to the tragic Dayan, he wants to find time to ponder the Divine Comedy in detail.
Be sad, maybe only with a sad state of mind can you understand the mystery of the whole song?
Zhang Liang touched the wound on Zhan's left arm and said with a grimace, "Unexpectedly, I just left the East China Sea and I owe you another life."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said, "I have better luck. Xu Fu owes me more. Do you want to pay it back for him?"
Looking at Li Xiuyuan, who was wearing a thin black shirt, Zhang Liang couldn't help but laugh: "If you hadn't taught me the path of spiritual practice, I would have always thought you were a wine shopkeeper."
Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled, thinking that he had been an honest liquor seller since the wild Ding'an City.
Not to mention the Tianxiang Winery in Tianyu City. It seems that it was indeed a wise thing for me to learn winemaking from the wine-crazy master.
decision.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "When you get to Jicheng, don't be in a hurry to see people. Spend two days treating all the wounds on your body."
Zhang Liang also understood that he was seriously injured. If Li Xiuyuan was not with him this time, he would probably have to hang on the road.
Turning over, Zhang Liang changed to a lying position and murmured: "I have to tell the teacher when I get back. This trip to Dayan is also dangerous. I almost lost my life here."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "You are already a serious monk, how can you be afraid of fighting with others? Go back and follow me and watch Xiao Hei carefully, don't allow him to be lazy...and your Shuzi."
"It's all up to me." Zhang Liang smiled and said, "I'll go to Dayan to find out where that guy Jing Ke is hiding."
The master told Zhang Liang to take Li Xiuyuan to Dayan for a visit, but did not allow him to take him to the imperial city to meet certain people. This was something Zhang Liang couldn't understand.
Could it be that Li Xiuyuan traveled thousands of miles to visit Dayan with him just to take a look?
While he was in a daze, the coachman Lao Zhang shouted: "You two, we have arrived at Jicheng."
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan opened a corner of the curtain, looked at the city wall in the wind and snow, and said in a daze, "Is this the legendary capital of Chiang Kai-shek?"
…
The snowman was in a hurry, and when the time was about to end, the carriage drove into an inn called Yunjian in the city.
Li Xiuyuan, supported by the coachman Zhang Liang, said: "We finally arrived at the end of the field, you can take a good rest."
Zhang Liang's face was a little pale, and he probably picked up another wound when he got out of the car.
Zhang Liang said weakly: "I want to lie down for a while and then eat."
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "I will arrange this matter. You go in and rest first."
After finishing the carriage, he went to the backyard of the inn to set up the carriage. Li Xiuyuan waved to the waiter to prepare two guest rooms, one large and one small, and helped Zhang Liang inside.
"Brother, bring some of your best dishes to the house. Then boil two large buckets of hot water and bring them in." Li Xiuyuan looked at the waiter who greeted the two of them and ordered.
The waiter smiled and replied: "Don't worry, guest, the food and hot water will be ready in a moment. You go back to the house first and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
The waiter pushed open a large room and said, "There are two large rooms in here, suitable for two guests..."
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand, closed the door, and helped Zhang Liang sit down at the table. Before boiling water for tea, he first lit the charcoal in the brazier in the room.
As the charcoal fire gradually burned, the room became warmer, and some color returned to Zhang Liang's face.
Then he lit the small stove on the table, and Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "Drink a cup of hot tea first, and then eat."
"Please heal my wounds first, otherwise I won't be able to see anyone?"
Zhang Liang sighed and said in a daze, "Master and Little Black Shuzi are going back to the academy. We have to rush back before the end of the year."
Li Xiuyuan got up and went to fetch water to make tea, and continued: "Let's rest here for two days. This wound cannot be healed overnight. I am not a god."
Zhang Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "Let's have a drink later, because I'm in so much pain! How about that?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and laughed lightly: "You are not afraid of dying if you drink two drinks in a while. I know I don't have the capacity to drink, unless I can meet that guy here..."
Zhang Liang was stunned and blurted out: "Who did you meet?"
