After drinking two glasses of spiritual wine, the old man gradually calmed down. He felt a fire burning gently in his chest and abdomen, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The old man never dreamed that he just accompanied the emperor to the decisive battle, which not only relieved the crisis in Dachu, but also brought life to his old body.
Putting down the wine glass, the old man sighed and said, "It would be great if the little princess didn't go to the academy."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Li Xiuyuan thought about the appearance of the emperor's uncle after he turned into a demon, and said seriously: "If she had stayed in the imperial city, she would have been devoured by the demon long ago."
The old man thought for a moment and suddenly fell silent.
There were some opportunities that he couldn't ask for. Even if Li Xiuyuan saved Chu Hanyan's life back then, he was afraid that he would miss it this time.
If he hadn't had to come here, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had the opportunity to break through.
After much deliberation, the young master and the princess who were far away in the Silver Moon Kingdom had the best chance. After all, the three of them had gone to the Shura battlefield together.
In any case, it can be regarded as living life and death together.
As for the old man, Li Xiuyuan didn't have much friendship. He just gave the old man a chance to break out of the situation for the sake of Chu Feng and the old man not betraying Da Chu.
After all, at the age of an old man, if you cannot break through the threshold in front of you, you may have to die in a few years.
Just like Wuliang's master in the Tang Dynasty, even the Shura Heaven Realm also had ruthless rules of heaven.
The two chatted for an hour, and Li Xiuyuan explained where he wanted to go, and finally gave the old man a talisman.
He said quietly: "Before the last tribulation thunder falls, put it on your head to help you survive that thunder."
The old man was shocked when he heard this. He thought that the generalissimo was a man of God, but he didn't expect that the generalissimo was also carrying a magic talisman.
No wonder, you can ignore the monsters and ghosts coming from the Demon Realm.
The old man who originally wanted to remind Li Xiuyuan to be careful along the way silently put away the magic talisman and said with a wry smile: "Thank you very much, I will let Chu Feng repay the favor of the generalissimo for me in the future."
Li Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this: "National Master, you don't have to be so polite. After this catastrophe in the Shura Heaven Realm, maybe you will be able to survive and you will be able to break through to a higher realm in the future."
The way of heaven in the five realms has been repaired to some extent, and it may not be impossible in the Shura realm.
As long as this side of the world has a great monk who sees the wise and thinks of others, maybe the monks in the Shura Heaven Realm can go one step further and break through to the extraordinary realm.
Just like the five realms have broken through the realm of cave heaven.
The old man nodded and said with a smile: "I have sent someone to pick up the emperor, queen, and princess from the academy."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "Meditate before breaking through. Master, you think about too many things, which will not be of much help to your practice..."
In his opinion, Da Chu does not need the old man to worry too much at the moment. If the old man still does not understand this truth, even if he breaks through this threshold, it will not be of much use.
The old man nodded and asked in a low voice: "Is the Generalissimo leaving tomorrow?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied: "Yes, I will go to Black Salt City tomorrow, and then go to Silver Moon Kingdom."
That night, the tribulation thunder rang in the wilderness outside the decisive victory pass for a full hour.
Even the thunder that filled the sky did not wake up the sleeping crow, nor did it wake up Li Xiuyuan in his dream.
Only the civil and military officials from the imperial city speculated whether the Imperial Master had received the help of the Grand Marshal and had overcome the tribulation in one day.
This is the legendary realm!
…
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the sun is high, and the crows sleep well.
The old man, who had been struggling all night to escape the tribulation, got up an hour late. When he arrived at the inn at the end of the day, Li Xiuyuan had already rented a carriage and headed towards Black Salt City.
Crow continued to sleep in the carriage, and Li Xiuyuan found an old piece of clothing and made him a nest so that the little guy could lie down comfortably in it.
He left early not because he was in a hurry, but because he didn't want to accept the old man's gratitude.
Helping the old man get out of trouble was just something he did casually. He didn't need the old man's repeated thanks. This was not everything he wanted.
There are still more than 3,000 Demon Realm troops in the Imperial City of Dachu. Now that there is no general, not even the emperor, it must be possible to solve the problem with the help of the national division. After all, Dachu still has its own army.
In this way, he can safely go to the capital of Silver Moon Kingdom to see the old monk Yuan Zhen in Thousand Buddha Temple.
I read countless Buddhist scriptures in the Tang Dynasty, and it was a good time to discuss Zen with the old monk.
Whether it is Chu Feng or Princess Qingyue, to Li Xiuyuan, they are just scenery on the road of cultivation. Now that they have forgotten them, he does not want to pick up these friendships again.
In the end, we ended up with a result where we couldn't make clear cuts and things were still broken.
I originally thought that this trip to the Shura Heaven was just a lonely and boring journey, but I didn't expect that I would meet an interesting guy in the city lord's mansion in the decisive victory pass.
A crow who obviously has some cultivation and can speak human words pretends to be a stupid bird.
Moreover, they followed the Great Chu Emperor City all the way from the Demon Realm, and ran from the Great Chu Imperial City to the decisive battle.
Just to witness how the emperor who came from the abyss of the demon realm and was swallowed by the demon perished.
I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do this if it were him.
After much deliberation, only a boring guy like Crow could travel thousands of miles just to finally witness this magical scene.
Thinking of Xiao Hei who left with the Immortal Emperor, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh quietly.
…
On the hill behind the academy, the original stone house has been renovated, and now a row of seven stone houses has been built.
In the morning when the spring mist filled the air, the dean, who had risen early, was returning from a walk in the mountains. He was sitting under the eaves, looking at the mountain stream, making tea.
Not far away, the shouts of the fat elder came.
The dean smiled slightly: "I'm right here. Is there anything important that I came into the mountains so early?"
Ever since Queen Changsun of Tianfeng Kingdom, King Qin and others...the emperor, queen, princess and others of Dachu, as well as more heads of aristocratic families came to the academy.
The dean hid in the stone house in the back mountain to live. It was said that he was cultivating, but it was better to say that he wanted to be quiet and comfortable.
In just a moment, the fat elder came to a stone house on the edge of a mountain stream.
At this time, the dean's pot of spring water had not yet boiled.
The fat elder gasped and said nervously and excitedly: "A message came from Dachu. Three days ago, the general returned to the decisive battle and killed the city lord and the generals of the Demon Realm in the city."
"Destroyed two thousand troops in the Demon Realm, and even beheaded the emperor who had seized the throne... This is a huge thing."
The dean frowned and asked, "When did Da Chu have a general? And he was so powerful that he could kill a general from the Demon Realm?"
The fat elder slapped his thigh and said, "Looking at my haste, I forgot that the Grand Marshal of Da Chu was Li Xiuyuan who fought for Chu Feng in the battle against the Silver Moon Kingdom?"
The dean was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled faintly: "Counting the days, the road to heaven is about to open, right?"
The fat elder sighed and said with a wry smile: "The Grand Master of Chu wrote a letter asking the Emperor to return to the Imperial City, saying that the Grand Marshal left Black Salt City alone and went to the Silver Moon Kingdom."
"Tell me, why didn't he come back to the academy first? Doesn't he know that we all miss him very much?" The fat elder shook his head and complained.
The dean sighed and said with a smile: "What he wants to give us has already been given back then. What else do you want? You must be content, otherwise you may end up like the eldest grandson and the King of Qin."
After thinking for a while, the dean added: "Li Xiuyuan and the old monk from Qianyue Temple
It was an old acquaintance, and he was afraid that he was going there to visit friends. "
The fat elder was stunned: "Are we not?"
Shaking his head, the faculty member sighed: "The person closest to him in the Academy is the Master. Ever since the Master ascended to the throne, he and the Academy no longer have much of a relationship."
fat elder
He nodded and said with a smile: "I have already written a letter to Princess Qingyue, asking her to tell Li Xiuyuan when she sees her that we all miss him."
The dean poured the freshly roasted spring tea into the pot, thought for a moment and replied, "You don't have to hurry. He will come back naturally if he is free."
There was another thing the dean didn't say. Even if he wanted to go back, Li Xiuyuan would probably go back to Luoxia Mountain outside Tianfeng City first.
The fat elder sighed and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the first place in the Shura Heaven that could see the moonlight when the clouds cleared was the imperial city of Da Chu."
…
The carriage ran across the wilderness, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
When there were still ten miles away from Qingfeng Valley and the sun had not set in the west, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and asked the coachman to drive the carriage back to the decisive point.
The coachman was very puzzled and told Li Xiuyuan that there was no village in the front and no store in the back.
Li Xiuyuan paid the fare and asked him to go back quickly.
Then he hugged the sleeping crow and headed towards Qingfeng Valley step by step.
The driver had no choice but to shout to the horse and leave in an instant, heading towards Black Salt City.
The driver was just a mortal, so he naturally didn't know what was going on in front of him. However, the consciousness released by Li Xiuyuan saw that the long valley was already filled with troops from the Demon Realm.
Roughly speaking, there were more than two thousand troops, if not three thousand.
Such a group of people is ambushing here, probably in response to the demonic army in the Imperial City of Chu, and can launch an attack on the Silver Moon Kingdom at any time.
However, from Li Xiuyuan's point of view, he would rather believe that these demon realms have lost contact with Gongsun Mingmie and others in Dachu Imperial City.
Originally, there were probably tens of thousands of Demon Realm troops here, but it was just because of his arrow that traveled through the sky that he shot down the huge broken demon tree in the Demon Realm.
At the same time, most of the demon army scattered throughout the Shura Heaven Territory suffered casualties.
Even so, he still didn't dare to be careless. After all, he didn't want to take a detour. Secondly, he wanted to take advantage of the darkness to cross the dozens of miles of valley to see what these guys were thinking.
Such an army, whether it returns to Black Salt City or the Silver Moon Kingdom, will cause harm to the innocent people there.
Now that he has met him, he doesn't mind using the trick he used in the Five Realms Xiaguan again.
After all, he is the only one who can come and go as he pleases. No one can stop him, or even detect his existence at all.
After walking five miles, I looked up and saw that the last ray of sunset on the horizon had disappeared, and it was getting dark.
Finding a place by the creek, Li Xiuyuan lit a fire.
Putting the crow aside, he was going to wash up, boil a pot of water, brew some spiritual tea, rest for a while, and then quietly go forward after dark.
It was getting late at night, and the wind in the wilderness was whining, as if a woman was crying in the wilderness. A lost woman was crying.
A faint floral fragrance floated gently in the wind, passing through the green grass and blowing towards the stream.
A pile of burning flames gave life to the wilderness night, just like the birds that were unwilling to let the sun go down, they opened their throats at this moment and chirped non-stop.
At midnight, the wind passed through the wilderness, crossed the stream, and came to the fire.
Suddenly a pile of flames swayed, and Li Xiuyuan took a sip of the spiritual tea in his hand.
He was not afraid of being discovered by the demon army in Qingfeng Valley. He was alone. Even if someone discovered him, they would only think it was the monk who came to practice in the wilderness alone.
After taking a sip of spiritual tea, Li Xiuyuan looked at the new moon that had not yet climbed into the sky and said in a daze: "Are you all okay?"
