The battle at Qingyangdun decided the outcome. Zhao Hongtu fled and lost everything. Xia Yun, the young leader of the Tianlong Gang, returned to Youzhou City safely, gray-haired and old. After the disaster, this life was saved. He concealed the act of killing his father, only to know that the old gang leader was killed by the leader of the Huashan sect, and his body was not found. Fortunately, his brother-in-law Yang Hu arrived in time, turned the tide, and killed all the culprits. destroy.
Xia Qian was shocked and secretly sad. Although she sensed something fishy, her second brother and her husband were on the same page, so she didn't want to cause any further trouble. Zhao Ying and his brother and sister discussed secretly all night, forcing Zhao Hu to come forward, and put a certain crime on Zhao Hongtu, colluding with the Huashan faction and the Yinma Gang to cause trouble, plotting evil, secretly colluding with Deng Pu, and stepping on the same boat. The legitimate son made a big mistake, and it was difficult for anyone to defend him. For a while, Fanyang Town was in turmoil and people were in panic.
Fan Yang Jiedushi made Zhao Ju cut the knot quickly, deprived Zhao Hongtu of his official position and military power, demoted him to a commoner, put him under house arrest, and took care of his old age. At the same time, he summoned Zhao Ying to Jizhou urgently, and in front of a group of civil and military officials, he carried out the tiger fu He was given to Zhao Ying and ordered to run the two states of You and Tan with all his heart, and not to let down the great foundation he had laid. Everyone's hearts are like a mirror, Han's army is heading north, and the war is about to break out. Zhao Ju finally makes up his mind to cultivate Zhao Ying. If he can make great military exploits, Fan Yang Jiedushi will be in his pocket, and no one can compete with him.
After Zhao Ying returned to Youzhou City, he strengthened his troops and stepped up preparations for war. Using his old troops as his team, he selected elites from the Youzhou Army to form a new army. He set up a camp outside the city, drilled day and night, shared food and sleep, and did not dare to slack off at all. . The Tianlong Gang also provided great assistance, mobilizing food and salary craftsmen and sending them into the army continuously, which relieved Zhao Ying from worries and allowed him to concentrate on training his troops.
After passing the crisis and eliminating hidden dangers, everything was on the right track. Everyone performed their duties, but Xia Yun relaxed and had nothing to do all day long. The Poison Dragon Sword swallowed up decades of life. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he fell asleep at some point. The hero's ambition was depressed. He indulged in wine and sex, and attacked as soon as possible. He was drunk and dreamed, and no longer interfered with the affairs of the gang.
Late that night, the sour wind howled and the candle shadows flickered red. Xia Qian was worried and consulted with Wei Shiqi, begging him to save his second brother. Wei Shiqi picked her up, put her gently on his lap, pinched her chin, and said, "It's not difficult to save your second brother. Do you still remember Taoist Yiqing?"
Xia Qian curled up in his arms, so close to him, yet she felt so far away. She felt exhausted physically and mentally, lowered her eyes and murmured: "After you left, he became the top master of the Tianlong Gang. He was in danger twice. Thanks to him, he was able to turn the tide..."
Wei Shiqi said: "You have seen his wise and mighty posture, and you have also seen his ugly behavior of sucking human blood. If you act against nature, you have to pay the price. But this is just the beginning. He is violent and murderous, his consciousness is annihilated, and he is insane. , step by step, he became a walking corpse, and was finally swallowed alive by his blood. Do you want Xia Yun to become like him?"
Xia Qian shuddered and suddenly woke up. She grabbed the lapels of his clothes with both hands and said with a worried voice and a trembling voice, "Is this the only way?"
Wei Shiqi said: "This may not be the only way, but Xia Yun can't afford to wait. This is the only choice at the moment. There is no other choice. This is the best choice."
"How long will it take to lose consciousness?"
"It varies from person to person. If you are strong-willed and don't frequently stimulate your blood, it won't be a problem to last for three to five years."
"Second brother, does he... know?"
"I know, he just can't make up his mind. What would you do if it were you?"
Xia Qian remembered a Taoist named Qing who sucked human blood and looked like a ghost. She put her hands around his head and neck and murmured: "If I become like that, will you still want me? If you don't dislike me, I won't be afraid... …I can’t wait to raise my eyebrows, but for now, I can enjoy it once, once it’s cheap, at most… I’ll be more gentle, more elegant, and less impatient…” She thought about raising a few more beauties, and serving them delicious food and drinks every now and then. When he was unconscious, he drained some blood and poured it into a wine cup to drink as medicine.
Wei Shiqi smiled and said: "Your second brother has a heroic appearance and will make up his mind soon."
Xia Qian sighed quietly, unlucky things often happen, it's good to be able to survive, and we'll talk about other things when they happen. But if she can only stay sane for three to five years...she counted the time and exclaimed: "What about Taoist Yiqing? His situation...seems to be a bit bad..."
"He is stained by the blood energy, and the erosion is getting deeper and deeper. He can't last much longer. I will take him to a place in a few days, and he will not come back again."
Xia Qian's heart tightened and she blurted out: "Then will you come back?"
Wei Shiqi said quietly: "Immortals and mortals have different paths, even if they come back, it will be a long time later."
A different path to immortality? after a long time? Wait until she becomes an old woman, or simply a handful of bones in the grave? Xia Qian's little face wrinkled up and she was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Astragalus has been found. She is well-prepared and well-fed, and is being kept in the west building. Do you still want it?"
Wei Shiqi smiled and said: "It's just a joke. If you want to take me in, you can stay. If you don't want to, just find someone to marry me."
Xia Qian pursed her lips and said noncommittally, "I heard that you have accepted a young and beautiful female disciple?"
Wei Shiqi said: "Well, there is such a thing. Her name is Li Yihe, and she is a close disciple of Han Yingxue, the head of the East China Sea Sect. By chance, she received the inheritance of immortal magic. No one guided her, so she just thought about it on her own. She has also started. This woman has good qualifications and a well-behaved personality. She took the initiative to become my teacher, so I accepted her."
Xia Qian bit her lip and said, "Since you accept Li Yihe, why not accept another one? She is also a young, beautiful, well-behaved, and smart female disciple. I promise to be obedient and make the bed for Master..."
Wei Shiqi laughed and asked knowingly: "Is there such a good thing? Tell me, who came to the door so eagerly?"
Xia Qian pointed to the tip of her nose, with a smile as bright as a flower, and said, "What do you think of me?"
Wei Shiqi said: "You also want to become an immortal?"
Xia Qian nodded vigorously and said with a sad face: "If you don't cultivate immortality, next time you come, you will see an old woman!" She changed her expression to a shy one and whispered: "If you want to meet, first accompany... I know……"
Wei Shiqi pinched her nose and said, "Gu Ling Jing Wei, are you talking about Li Yihe?"
Xia Qian stuck out her tongue and buried her face in his arms. Her ears were red and hot. Wei Shiqi understood her little thoughts. He would not stay in Youzhou City for too long. The Dusi people promised him to take charge of the Daigo Sect. It is a good opportunity to break into the fairy city. Taoist Yiqing and Li Yihe are his initial team, and the Tianlong Gang is the next sect supported by the Daigo Sect. However, how to arrange Xia Qian is quite difficult.
There were too many hidden dangers in cultivating the secret art of blood energy. He suddenly remembered a piece of exercise and read it in a low voice in Xia Qian's ear. There were only a thousand words, it was pure and peaceful, and it was easy to use. Xia Qian was so blessed that she remembered it in her heart. There are words in his mouth, turned over and over again, every word is correct. Wei Shiqi waited for her to memorize it well before he pointed out: "This is the Taiyi Foundation Building Sutra of the Xiandu Sect. It uses the 'Xiantian Aperture' to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and open up the 'Acquired Aperture'. If you can pass the first Only if you pass it can you be considered to be destined to the Immortal Family."
