Baima County.
As the population of the entire county was swallowed up, many shops, storefronts, teahouses, etc. became ownerless. Later, after Zhang Zhengwu became the county magistrate, according to the rosters and ultimatums and other relevant documents, it was found that a large number of owners had died in their entire families. Owners and heads of households who had distant relatives also went to the Yamen to handle matters such as inheriting the property. If The owner had no relevant relatives, so the property was transferred to the public.
Nowadays, in Baima County, chickens and dogs cannot hear each other, and there is no popularity. However, Baima County is a large county after all, and it is a rich county. Some nobles and big families still will not easily give up their business and business here. Even if there are no ordinary people, doing business with the officials is quite profitable.
Restaurants, cloth shops, teahouses, brothels, pharmacies, etc. have the most basic needs. After more than a year of recovery, Baima County has welcomed a group of new owners.
Li Ruocheng wore black clothes, slightly adjusted his facial muscles, disguised himself, and came to Baima County to collect. Accompanying him were two maids, Chunlan and Xia He, who were also disguised.
Li Ruocheng only found three drug stores in the city to purchase medicine for injuries. However, things did not go smoothly. After a catastrophe, all medicines for stab wounds were strictly controlled by the county government. Not to mention that Li Ruocheng and his party purchased a lot of medicine for wounds. Even if the quantity was small, they had to be registered and pledged. , no one dares to violate it.
After Li Ruocheng learned about this situation, he did not panic. Instead, he hid in an abandoned house. When it got dark, the three of them sneaked directly into the county government office, opened the treasury, took away a large amount of medicine for wounds, and left a few behind. A piece of spiritual stone, and then the three of them left silently.
With Li Ruocheng's level of cultivation, even Mr. Hai couldn't detect it at all.
After leaving the city, Li Ruo took three people and flew eastward.
There is a village in the east of Baima County and south of Baima Lake. It is only separated by a mountain from Baima Lake. There are no more than twenty households in the village. There are some scattered low-rise houses. Looking from a distance, you can see smoke from cooking stoves. Wandering around, there are children herding cows, old men feeding chickens, and even firewood cutters singing folk songs in the mountains, as if the disaster caused by Emperor Longding did not cause any losses or damage to the residents here. It is a rare and quiet place in the mountains and wilderness, and it is an elegant and leisurely place!
The speed of Li Ruocheng's group was not too fast, as if it was not too urgent. It stands to reason that Li Xiu was seriously injured and came to the place with strong yang energy near Baima Lake with the purpose of retrieving the six Shennong cauldrons he had buried. Li Ruo took this trip to Baima County to collect food, etc., and sneaked into the county government office with him. I took away a lot of medicine, so I should rush back quickly.
But now that Li Ruocheng, Chunlan and Xiahe had finished collecting and left Baima County, they slowed down and looked around, sometimes stopping to watch. People who didn't know better thought they were three tourists visiting the mountains. Play with water.
Although there are few people around White Horse Lake in spring, the scenery is magnificent. Standing on the mountain road on the south bank, you can see White Horse Lake 800 miles away. The blue water surface is as bright as glass, reflecting the blue sky. , occasionally you can see fishing boats sailing slowly on the lake, and on the other side of the lake shore, there are many unknown red and white flowers and trees in bloom, with shadows on the mountains, green grass nearby, willows hanging on the shore, and some trees on the shore. The fishing village swallowed up by the shallow forest is really as beautiful as a picture scroll.
"Huh?" She saw the village in the valley. With her eyesight, she seemed to be able to see something extraordinary, but she couldn't tell what was extraordinary. I felt a little strange, but didn't take it to heart.
Instead of staying where we were, we turned south and entered the mountains.
"That's it!" Li Ruocheng chose a good place, flew up, and looked at this good place.
This is the village less than twenty households away. It is only thirty miles away. It is equivalent to climbing over the previous mountain, walking through a field, and turning around the mountainside. You can hear the sound of the stream. There is a spring and waterfall in front of you. Fifteen or sixty feet.
This area had obviously been cleared before. Although it was now covered with grass, it still left a criss-crossing field and some earthen houses. Li Ruocheng let go of his consciousness and scanned the earthen houses. Abandoned and deserted.
Above the waterfall, there is a small temple. The small temple is less than twenty feet left and right. It has simple earth walls, but it is very complete. The good place for Li Ruocheng to come is in front of this small temple. When she looked closely, she found that the earth wall was not an ordinary earth wall, but a very ancient concrete technology. Ancient books recorded: "Trenches are dug and filled with burned earth, and wooden bones support the earth wall." The small temple itself is also made of concrete. There is no one in the small temple now, but it is locked. Obviously, this temple has an owner. The owners here, like the village just now, had successfully avoided the disaster caused by Emperor Longding and were not among the millions of people who were devoured.
"Shenyin Temple!" I saw a dilapidated plaque hanging sideways at the door, as if it had not been taken care of for a long time.
Seeing this, Li Ruocheng sat cross-legged on a stone not far from the door, closing his eyes and concentrating. Chunlan and Xia He stood on both sides, not squinting, guarding their mistress.
His consciousness was communicating with Duoduo, and Duoduo sent an idea, telling Li Ruocheng that Li Xiu had decided to occupy this place!
"Everywhere within a radius of fifty miles is extraordinary and even weird. Although this place is spiritual, I feel some threats!" Li Ruocheng responded.
"The more extraordinary it is, the more dragons and crouching tigers are hidden here. Around White Horse Lake, there are many strange peaks and strange places, which can be regarded as caves and paradises in the apocalypse. However, they cannot escape the disaster that Emperor Longding suffered. Only the ordinary villagers here are unscathed. This is enough to show that this place is not just the earth spirit, but should be protected by the gods. The place my brother needs is this kind of place. Now, my brother's research on the human body has deeply excavated the divine substances in the organs, which is equivalent to deciphering the gods. My secret, if I can get a chance here, I'm afraid I can solve many problems immediately!" Duoduo's thoughts came to him.
Li Ruocheng said no more.
Originally, Li Xiu was going to use Jiuding to repair serious injuries, but after Duoduo escaped into Baima Lake, Li Xiu sent a message to Duoduo and Li Ruocheng, asking them not to get the tripod for the time being, but to find a good place to stay first.
Li Ruocheng and Duoduo were both anxious, but Li Xiu couldn't help but insist on his opinion!
"What qualifies as a good place?" Li Ruocheng simply asked Li Xiu without arguing.
Li Xiuchuan said: "It's very simple. The more popular a place is, it means it is a good place. I look at the area around Baima Lake, the grassland to the north and Baima County to the northwest. There are mortal armies. They are very popular, but they are not what I am looking for. The place is only near the south bank. There is a good chance that it can block the disaster for me. Otherwise, I will not be allowed to repair the physical elixir this time. Even if I use the Shennong Cauldron, there will be no time. I blocked the disaster for the Moon God. This disaster is not so easy to survive, but you don’t have to panic. Once this kind of thing is solved, we can shorten a lot of practice time. I think this risk is worth taking. If we encounter this kind of thing , and we have to escape, maybe we can save our lives, but it is not a long-term solution. Nowadays, buying a little time is a means of saving our lives. Our foundation is weak, so we can only gamble with our lives. This is not a time to hesitate. when!"
Li Ruocheng and Duoduo knew Li Xiu very well. Li Xiu always sought stability, but this time he changed his attitude, which made them look at each other. Li Ruocheng asked: "Li Xiu, did you come into contact with something deeper when you were protecting the Moon God?"
Li Xiudao: "That's true. A sword was fired from the flat world. It was more powerful than the ordinary blade of law. My physical treasure pill couldn't block such an attack at all. Fortunately, in the recent period, the divine power in my body has been There are some results, even if the Lord himself takes action, he cannot kill me with one blow! In fact, his attack allows me to understand him better! On the other hand, he does the same to me, which shows that Next, he will send real masters to deal with me! I finally understand why a powerful person like the Lord does not come out to fight for supremacy in person, but hides behind the scenes and controls everything. That is his flaw. Of course , his flaw is hardly a flaw, he is almost invincible in his own field, that is to say, even if all his minions are destroyed, there will be no loss to him. At most, he will still be able to survive for an era. will appear, this is what he calls immortality, living as long as heaven!"
Li Ruocheng and Duoduo still didn't quite understand what Li Xiu said. After all, their knowledge of Big Mac and the Lord was very limited, but they all knew that Li Xiu was absolutely tough on such matters. It was impossible to persuade him to give in. Therefore, Li Ruocheng and Duoduo could only compromise and find a so-called good place.
Now, after finding this small temple, since Duoduo said that Li Xiu decided to occupy it, Li Ruocheng couldn't say anything more. He opened his eyes and asked Chunlan to break the door lock.
Chunlan did as she was told and broke the door lock. Li Ruocheng and Xia He then entered the Shenyin Temple.
There is a clay statue enshrined in Shenyin Temple. It has no clear facial features and is not painted with gold, silver or copper powder. On the shrine, there is a thick layer of incense and ash, which is enough to show that this Shenyin Temple has been abandoned. It's been a long time since the master has returned. There is a sign on the left and right, and the left sign is engraved with ancient characters: Halfway through the winter solstice, the heart of heaven will not change. The right card is engraved with ancient characters: The place where Yiyang first moves, when all things are not born.
Li Ruocheng looked around the shrine. Not to mention it was dilapidated and shabby, but there were quite a few similar tablets with ancient calligraphy on them.
Some tablets are three feet wide and ten feet high. They no longer look like tablets, but wooden boards, stuffed at the back of the shrine. Li Ruocheng casually opened the wooden board and swept the dust. Sure enough, there were ancient characters engraved on it: Gai heard the number of heaven and earth, there are 129,600 years old, one yuan, one yuan can be divided into twelve whole groups, Naizi, Chou , Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai, each meeting should be 18,000 years old. Let’s talk about one day: if there is yang energy at Zi hour, but when Chou is there, the rooster crows; when Yin is not clear, but when Mao hour is the day, the sun rises; when Chen hour is after eclipse, then Si will sit next to each other; when day is in the middle of the day, but when there is no day, then the sun will rise in the west; At Shen Shi, the sun sets at You; at dusk at Xu, people settle in Hai. For example, Tarsus... Five thousand and four hundred years later, at the time of Zihui, the sky begins to have roots, light and clear sky, with sun, moon, stars, and chen, which are called the four phenomena...
"This..." Li Ruocheng was slightly moved, secretly alert. These ancient characters were truly extraordinary, telling the destiny of destiny, which made her heart heavy. Now that Li Xiu had suffered a heavy blow, she had to be even more cautious. Fortunately, this temple had indeed been unoccupied for a long time. She checked the two rooms next to it and found that it had been vacant for a long time, so she felt relieved a little.
Li Xiu sent a message to Duoduo, telling Duoduo what to do next, and Duoduo immediately sent a message to Li Ruocheng.
It's quite simple. He just moved Li Xiu to sit cross-legged behind the clay statue, back to back with the statue. After that, Li Xiu asked Li Ruocheng and Duoduo to stay away from the temple and go to the vacant houses below to clean a few rooms. After sunset, Li Xiu said, I'm afraid he will sit here for several months, letting everyone fend for themselves, meditate or practice here, and ignore the outside world for the time being.
Li Ruocheng still asked with worry: "Li Xiu, since the giant master knows enough about you, how can we repel the enemy if we send the most powerful ones here?"
Li Xiudao: "I also know something about the Lord and have an insight into his nature, so as soon as I woke up a few days ago, I changed my mind about getting the Shennong Ding. I can survive here for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. With the blessing of this ancient god, it can block all external reactions. Any strong person who comes here will tend to be ordinary. It is really the safest place in the North."
"What?" Li Ruocheng didn't believe it at all, but when he thought that Li Xiu was indeed nagging sometimes, but never without aim, he changed his mind and asked, "Li Xiu, who is this ancient god?"
