Wilderness, Ding'an City, shops by the big lake,
Li Qiushui was holding a glass of wine and looking at a large lake in a daze.
It was snowing all over the sky, and there were only two tables with her in the store. No one wanted to come out to enjoy the snow in such weather.
The shopkeeper of the hotel asked from a distance: "Shopkeeper Li, your brother will be back soon, right?"
Li Qiushui sighed and said quietly: "It doesn't matter whether I come back or not. Everything I have to explain has already been explained back then."
Li Xiuyuan told Li Qiushui what he should say and what he shouldn't say.
He didn't even say some things to Ximen Guxing and Huangfu Qingmei, but he explained everything to his eldest sister, because he was afraid that she would go to Tianyu City or Tianluo City and be bullied.
And Li Qiu Shui, who had finally reached the current state of cultivation but could not see the hope of ascension, had to fight no matter how much hardship he endured.
Not to mention, she has a few friends anyway, so everyone at least has someone to look after her.
After a long while, the shopkeeper sighed and said, "The past few years have been too dull, just like this lake."
Li Qiu Shui was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "So, shopkeeper, you just want to see the excitement and don't mind the trouble. Are you planning to make a big fuss when my brother comes back?"
After thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "Back then, no one dared to blunt his edge. Now if he comes back, no one will dare to mess with him. "
Before the shopkeeper could reply, two people came out of the snow.
Seeing Li Qiushui sitting alone by the lake, the visitor couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Why is Sister Li sitting here drinking alone?"
Li Qiushui was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "My brother won't come back and won't accompany me, so I will have to stay here alone."
The visitors were Ximen Lone Star and Huangfu Qingmei.
Huangfu Shangmei stepped forward and sat down, sighing: "That guy's dragon has never seen its end. Who knows when he will come back?"
Slowly, Li Qiushui stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of charcoal, and gently threw it into the stove.
He smiled and said, "Let's have a drink together when we come, and the shopkeeper will bring some meat. It's crowded and lively, so it's just right."
"Thank you, when will those guys from Wangtian City come over?"
Ximen Guxing sat down next to Huangfu Qingmei and asked in a low voice: "Ordinarily, we can leave here next year."
Li Qiushui looked at the stove in front of him, and after a while he replied calmly: "Isn't the road to heaven not open yet? I guess I have to wait until spring next year, right?"
Thinking of the three masters and apprentices in the Four Seasons Building, Li Qiu Shui regained his energy and said with a smile: "Even if my brother doesn't come, don't we still have a group of friends? Don't be afraid."
Huangfu Qingmei glared at Ximen Guxing, took the cooked meat from the shopkeeper and gently added it to the pot, while reaching out to pour a glass of wine and holding it in her hand.
He murmured to himself: "To be honest with my sister, if I really have to leave, I can't bear to leave the plants and trees here."
Li Qiushui sighed and replied: "There is no turning back when you shoot your bow. Do you think you can be like my brother when you go and come back?"
Huangfu Qingmei was speechless for a moment. She naturally knew that once Li Qiushui left, he would have to abandon everything in Ding'an City and leave all the shops here to Xiaohong's family.
Not to mention my own situation. The more I think about it, the more confused my heart becomes. It's better not to think about it.
After a long while, he replied: "Come on, let's have a drink in this cold weather."
Ximen Lone Star frowned and sighed: "Why do I have a premonition that my brother is coming back..."
Li Qiushui laughed: "How about you stay alone and wait for him?"
The shopkeeper not far away answered the question and said with a smile: "Young Master is hoping that Shopkeeper Li will come back and bring you a fortune, right?"
…
At half past midnight, Li Xiuyuan, who had taken a nap, packed up his belongings and came to the fire in front of him.
Looking up at the sparse starlight in the sky, I thought that this kind of weather is suitable for attacking and digging.
What a trap, if only this crow woke up and talked to me.
No matter what happens, you can still fly into the sky to help lead the charge.
Walking alone in the wilderness, he soon entered the Qingfeng Valley with the help of an invisibility charm.
Different from what he imagined, those big pits back then had been leveled long ago, and the army of the Demon Realm did not line up in a long snake formation.
He walked about five miles without encountering any hidden sentry obstruction. He thought to himself that these guys were really big-hearted. Aren't they afraid of Da Chu's army sneaking up from behind?
It wasn't until I walked an unknown distance further that I saw burning flames, flickering in the night, and some tents of different heights scattered in the valley.
The spring night was slightly cool, not to mention that this was a bitterly cold place. After nightfall, there were not many soldiers standing outside to warm themselves by the fire.
I guess I hid in the tent early and hid in bed to pass the time.
Quietly, Li Xiuyuan walked between the tents, listening to the complaints of the soldiers, thinking about going to the tent in front to see which general was leading the team, so ambitious.
This is no different from herding sheep. How does it look like fighting with people?
I thought I would encounter some resistance, but I didn’t want people to just go to sleep early. There were not even a single soldier keeping watch outside some tents.
Until he came to a large tent and heard a familiar voice.
For this reason, he had to stand silently outside the tent and listen for a long time. It was not until he understood why this army of demons was hiding here that he sighed.
After thinking for a while, he opened the curtain and stepped into the tent.
He looked at the general lying in a daze and smiled: "If I came to kill you, you would be a dead man by now."
There was a strange cry, and the general who was in a daze a moment ago jumped up now.
He rushed over, hugged Li Xiuyuan, and laughed: "It seems that God has mercy on me, and let you find me in this bitter cold place."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "Whether you believe it or not, I'm just passing by here. I plan to kill you all, and then go to the city in front to find an acquaintance for a drink."
"That's impossible. We are brothers. How can brothers kill each other?"
The monk in green shirt pulled Li Xiuyuan to sit down at the table and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, I haven't eaten yet, give me a sip of your spiritual wine."
Li Xiuyuan sighed. He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect to meet his brother Jun Buyu who he had befriended in the academy in this ghost place.
Jun Buyu went to find a pot of mutton, lit a small stove, put the meat on it and started cooking it. He rubbed his hands and asked, "Why are you here?"
Li Xiuyuan held a jar of wine and placed it in front of him, smiling: "Everything is God's arrangement."
It wasn't until the two of them drank a glass of wine that they said quietly: "A few days ago, I killed the general Gongsun Mingmie of the Demon Realm at the decisive battle, killed his two thousand guards, and killed the emperor of Da Chu..."
He sighed and smiled bitterly: "I didn't know you were here. I thought I would bury all the demon army here tonight...are you afraid?"
"I'm so scared. I'm from the Jun family, not the Gongsun family... They became the devil's dog, how could I possibly do that?"
Jun Buyu took another sip of wine and said with a wry smile: "The nearly three thousand soldiers under my command are all dead soldiers of the Jun family. No one has killed the soldiers of Dachu, so they are hiding here and suffering..."
While drinking wine and eating meat, Jun Buyu poured out his bitter water.
It turned out that it was the elders of the Gongsun family who colluded with the Great Demon King who came from the abyss of the Demon Realm. He first imprisoned his father and mother, and then used their lives to order the entire Jun family to obey his orders.
Gongsun Mingmie was the vanguard in the battle. He jumped out first and naturally became the general of the Demon Realm. With the hundred-year-old soldiers under the Demon King, he divided his troops into three groups and swept across the entire Shura Heaven Realm...
and
In order to preserve the strength of the Jun family, he had to personally lead the Jun family to garrison here in the name of attacking the Silver Moon Kingdom.
It can be said that he has no information at the moment. How could he know?
Has the entire century-old army of the Demonic Realm been wiped out?
Even Gongsun Mieming died in the hands of Li Xiuyuan, and no one came to inform him, because the soldiers who won the decisive victory in the Guanli Demon Realm were either killed by Li Xiuyuan or sent by the Imperial Master to destroy him in one day.
Thinking of this, Jun Buyu continued: "Speaking of which, Da Chu's imperial uncle is no longer the same emperor he used to be. He is just a shadow of the great devil!"
"Oh? You also know about this?"
Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine and smiled lightly: "I thought this matter was a secret even in the Demon Realm."
After taking a sip of wine, Jun Buyu said slowly: "As long as I close my eyes, I will remember what my father told me. Even Gongsun Mingmie doesn't know the secret of the Emperor of Dachu."
"oh?!"
This time it was Li Xiuyuan's turn to be surprised. In his opinion, Gongsun Mingmie's cultivation level should be much higher than that of Da Chu's uncle.
Logically speaking, even if you want to devour him, you should choose a monk like Gongsun Mingmie first, right?
However, Lunyan felt relieved when he thought about the identity of the uncle of Da Chu. Perhaps only the uncle of Da Chu could drive the emperor out of the emperor in an honest and fair manner city.
Moreover, it will not cause civil strife among the monarchs and ministers of Da Chu. After all, they are all one family.
Silently looking at Jun Buyu who was holding a glass of wine. At this moment, this guy seemed a little lonely, yet so stubborn.
However, with a glass of spiritual wine in hand, this guy came back to life in an instant.
It seems that he wants to drag himself into the water and go to the pool of sewage in the Demon Realm together. Fortunately, Li Xiuyuan also has this intention.
Not to mention others, just because Dongfang Ruyu was injured in the Peach Blossom Spring, he would also go to the Demon Realm to find the Demon King to settle matters.
Not to mention, the demonic army also killed the villagers at the foot of Luoxia Mountain...
This is what moved his Ni Lin. Perhaps, before leaving the Shura Heaven Realm, the monks here should remember the words on the iron sword at the entrance of the village.
After a while, he looked at Jun Buyu in front of him and asked, "Do you want to go with me to see Princess Qingyue?"
Jun Buyu sighed and replied slowly: "I have been looking forward to it for so long, just hoping that you can come back. Do you want me to go with you?"
"You are so shameless, just like that guy Hua Tianyu!"
Li Xiuyuan laughed, but still replied: "Is it possible that when you encountered trouble along the way, you never thought of solving it yourself?"
As the night deepened, Li Xiuyuan seemed to have cooled down instantly, becoming cold and ruthless.
After drinking two glasses of spirit wine, Jun Buyu's handsome face became more heroic, and he took a deep breath.
"He can't beat him, what can I do?!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Jun Buyu smiled bitterly and said, "Ask Chu Feng, ask Qing Yue, ask Hua Yu Yu, can we defeat that demon king together?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said nothing.
Jun Buyu was right. It was not something a monk like Jun Buyu could handle just being a great uncle of the emperor, let alone a more powerful demon king.
After thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I happen to have some issues with that guy, so I will go to the Demon Realm to cause trouble for him..."
"I knew it would be like this! That's enough bro!"
Jun Buyu shouted loudly, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said excitedly: "In my heart, good and evil have always been incompatible. Fortunately, I was right in the academy and recognized you as my brother."
With a slight smile and a somewhat teasing look, Li Xiuyuan replied calmly: "You are a monk from the Demon Realm, and I am a Taoist priest from Luoxia Mountain!"
When Jun Buyu heard this, he became angry and slapped the table: "Don't you know that the Jun family has been in the Demon Realm for generations just to guard the demons under the abyss?"
