Longevity begins with Orion

The next day, it was snowing and the sun was rising.

The manor is covered in silver, but also covered with golden light. Xiao Lin is wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket and leaning on a small cane. Two small footprints and a round hole slowly spread into the distance.

The cotton-padded jacket was very warm, and the fluffy fur on her neck was gone, leaving only a lovely face and a pair of eyes that smiled like a crescent moon.

Many dark crows were standing on rockeries, tall trees, or on roof ridges, overlooking the lively courtyard with wild and calm eyes.

"one two three"

"One, two, three, four, five, five"

"One, two, two, hold it in and run, hold it in and run"

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

Xiaopingan sat on the lap of the landlady, looking up and counting the crows, but he couldn't count the number "five" because the crows were flying around and wouldn't let him count.

The angry Xiao Ping An burst into tears, tears welling up in his eyes.

He was crying and Xiao Yan was laughing.

Lady Yan ran over, tapped her little head and said, "Don't bully your brother."

"Bitter bag, bitter bag~~"

Xiao Lu pointed at Xiao Ping An and laughed, her eyes as white as glass showing a cute and innocent beauty.

As soon as this "crying bag" came out, both Madam Yan and the landlady were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that it was talking about "crying bag", which meant that Xiao Ping'an was particularly prone to crying.

After hearing this word, Xiaopingan was stunned for a while, and then quickly looked at his words, suddenly realized what it meant, and cried even harder.

Mrs. Yan also hurried to the landlady's side and coaxed Xiaopingan together.

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was holding her crutches and swaying in the silver-white snow. Large crows were flying around her, like black flames inlaid with rubies.

After Li Yuan completed his normal morning practice, he also came here, wanting to enjoy some family happiness.

He raised his head and glanced at the crow.

Fifteen.

The numerical value is "18~20".

He remembers that in March, there were only six.

Is this more than one per month?

Moreover, the number "18~20" can already be said to be a ninth-level warrior. Although he is not strong, he has truly entered the ninth level.

My daughter, what exactly is this?

His thoughts flashed and were broken in an instant.

The little cotton-padded jacket's milky voice was mixed with laughter as she shouted: "Daddy, give me a hug, give me a hug!"

She was leaning on a cane with her left hand and raised her right hand.

Li Yuan would not refuse this heart-melting action.

He walked forward quickly and picked up the little cotton-padded jacket.

The little cotton-padded jacket threw away the crutch.

Li Yuan hugged her and spun around in the snow a few times before stopping. Then he held her in one hand and grabbed the crutch in the other. He came to the small pavilion on the side, put the crutch on the table, and then looked towards The crying son held out the hand of the little cotton-padded jacket and said, "You two have to get along well."

The little cotton-padded jacket smiled and generously stretched out his tender hand and placed it in front of little Ping An.

Xiaopingan "hummed" and looked away.

But the little cotton-padded jacket grabbed his hand and shouted: "Bumbaoer, don't be bitter."

"Wow!!" Xiaopingan continued to cry.

The landlady coaxed hurriedly.

Lady Yan said from the side: "Xiao Lu, don't make your brother cry."

The little cotton-padded jacket obviously didn't know how to express slightly complicated meanings, so he lay in his father's arms blankly.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Let's build a snowman."

As he said that, he asked again: "Where's Nian Nian?"

Lady Yan said: "He's in Wulu."

The landlady said: "You're not in Wulu anymore. Nian Nian recently went to my place again."

Lady Yan looked curiously.

The landlady said: "I have also set up a small caravan, selling wine, and also selling mountain products and animal skins. The caravan has been running back and forth in the surrounding area several times, and it is very interesting every year. , and ran to chat with the caravan leader."

Lady Yan couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are a little kid but a ghost."

Li Yuan looked at the proprietress and said: "Sister Xue, you should want to buy better puppet materials every year. If she wants to buy it, don't save money and let her buy it."

The landlady beheaded her man and said coquettishly: "You are the only one who loves her."

Li Yuan smiled, then took his son and daughter to build a snowman together.

After a while, he built a small snowman;

But before I could finish it, I piled another large one;

Still not satisfied, he built a snow house several meters high, hollowed out the middle, and built a snow table and five snow chairs.

Ordinary people don't have this ability, but Li Yuan can.

Mrs. Yan, the proprietress and the others couldn't help laughing at this, and they got into the snow house one by one, looking left and right, then made tea and drank it around the snow table.

Sunlight passes through the ice crystals, casting a dreamy colorful arc in the room.

Xiaopingan stopped crying, blinked, and wandered around the igloo excitedly.

The crows were flying around, and the little cotton-padded jacket clung to his father.

The family was enjoying themselves happily. When the igloo began to melt, Xiaopingan started to cry again.

The little cotton-padded jacket ran over, patted his head and said: "Buku, Buku."

The landlady asked curiously: "Is Xiaolu trying to imitate bird calls?"

Lady Yan said speechlessly: "She is trying to stop her brother from crying."

Time passes day by day.

Internal consolidation, external enemies detoured, and the five small counties were developing steadily.

Except for the poor harvest of the farmland every year, there is nothing particularly unsatisfactory.

But since the person behind the scenes of these five small counties has become Li Yuan, Li Yuan's words can also play a decisive role.

At the suggestion of Mrs. Yan and the proprietress, he opened farmland again, and also arranged for servants and even disciples to help the farmers farm as an experience. Those who successfully completed the task would also receive sect points that can be exchanged for resource.

He even encouraged the disciples in Wulu to help farmers farm.

[Visualization of the Young Master Riding a Deer] It is necessary to have a heart that is calm and free from the world. Farming farmland is not a kind of mental tempering.

You know, Wulu has a very high status now.

The disciples of Wulu took the lead to help with the farming, and the farmland became busy.

On the other hand, he asked the big households to reduce their agricultural rents, from the original fixed rent payment to the common people's fixed rice allowance. The common people had to take care of filling their own stomachs first, and then gave the remaining rice to the wealthy households.

As compensation, he gave some quotas to these wealthy families, so that the children of the wealthy families could enter the sect and practice Kung Fu.

In addition, porridge shops have been set up in front of each market to provide relief to the homeless.

At the same time, disciples from various sects also began to arrange for these homeless refugees to resettle and give them newly opened farmland. Although it was not fertile, it still gave them a job and hope.

Madam Yan, the proprietress is taking the lead in doing these things.

During this period, Li Yuan did not show up much and did not accept these good deeds. Instead, he attributed all these things to Lady Yan and the landlady.

Over time, people in the five counties all praised "Yam Bodhisattva" and "Xue Bodhisattva", and everyone knew that "the ancestor of the Blood Sword loves his mother-in-law".

After all, the ancestor of Blood Knife originally didn't care about the suffering of the people at all. Thanks to the two Bodhisattvas, he did these good deeds.

In June, Li Yuan returned to his hometown of luxury.

Shexiang did not disappoint him. These first batch of Shexiang disciples had already settled the previous matter between Mr. Ma and the Yamen.

How to solve it?

Create something out of nothing.

Take advantage of the situation.

Pull the tiger's skin.

This tiger skin is from Songhe Restaurant and also from Li Yuan.

The tiger skin of Songhe Restaurant is easy to pull off, but the tiger skin of Li Yuan is difficult to pull off.

For this reason, Xu Lan, Xu Sheng and others also gave Li Yuan a name and made up some seemingly unrelated origins.

They said that Li Yuan came from the mysterious Fengbo Fairyland in the East China Sea. This Fengbo Fairyland is a mysterious place that is legendary and may exist but cannot be verified.

I don’t know where the little beggar heard it, but he was pressed on Li Yuan anyway.

Xu Lan and Xu Sheng did not dare to say that Li Yuan was the master of Feng Bo's Fairyland. They only said that he was a mysterious messenger from Feng Bo's Fairyland.

With an unknown purpose, the envoy of Feng Bo Fairyland gathered local boys and girls, taught them the exercises, and made them worship the mysterious master of Feng Bo Fairyland.

Xu Lan, Xu Sheng and six other boys and girls also specially compiled a mysterious ritual of worshiping the master of Feng Bo's fairyland.

The owner of Feng Bo's Fairyland is actually a strange wooden sculpture wrapped in black cloth.

This weird wood carving was carved by Xu Sheng himself with a knife, but no one except Xu Lan knew about it.

With such rhetoric, such mysterious rituals, coupled with the eight ninth grades, and the ambiguity of Songhe Restaurant, Mr. Ma and the local officials were dumbfounded.

No one messes with this luxury land anymore.

And Shexiang has recruited a lot of new blood, which turned this small mansion into a small force.

Li Yuan was also amazed when he learned that he suddenly had the title of "Feng Bo's Envoy of Fairyland".

However, he did not correct anything, neither admitting nor denying it. Instead, he taught the eighth-level cultivation method and the method of breaking through the seventh-level to those eight people, and then asked Songhe Restaurant to slightly open the eighth-level monster meat. the way of buying.

Eighth-grade monster meat is still precious, and demand exceeds supply for sure.

But it is not as precious as it was a few years ago.

The main reason is that the five counties are unified, stable and have good public security.

When the caravan is walking, it is rare to encounter strong men. Even if it encounters some scattered bandits, it can also rely on its own strength to fight against them.

Unification, stability, and good public security will bring more trade.

As soon as the red ant merchants saw that the place was settled, they increased their supply quota.

Secondly, Hengwu Restaurant established its own chamber of commerce, opened up foreign trade channels, and had contacts with many chambers of commerce, making it easier to purchase resources.

Thirdly, with the poor harvest every year, the output of eighth-grade monster meat in the meat field has gradually increased.

The superposition of various factors, coupled with Li Yuan's secret manipulation, allowed Xiaoxiao Shexiang in Qingtan County to obtain resources to maintain cultivation.

But as the old saying goes, you have to make your own money.

This puts Shexiang into a certain dilemma.

The Shexiang disciples who had mastered certain means began to recruit more disciples, and at the same time increased the mining of mountain products, and then sold them to Songhe Restaurant in exchange for resources.

These good-quality mountain goods are sold to other places through the Hengwu Restaurant's merchants, thereby earning money, forming a virtuous cycle.

In early August, another letter was delivered to Li Yuan through a certain chamber of commerce.

The letter was written by Yan Mu.

The letter expressed nothing but disappointment.

But why he was disappointed, he didn’t say.

Yan Mu only said that he wanted to come back.

Li Yuan looked at the letter with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Just a few simple exchanges of letters had already made him understand one thing: Yan Mu was probably a disciple of a powerful force on the same level as the Holy Fire Palace.

Afterwards, he explored through his own channels and found out that another big event had happened in the Central Plains.

Last year, the emperor broke his promise and promised to "open the arsenal of the Great Zhou Dynasty", but then backed down. Li Yuan can actually understand this.

The emperor must have been reminded by someone that "the arsenal must not be opened", because this "arsenal" is the royal family's heritage. If the royal family's heritage is stripped bare, will the royal family still be the royal family?

Therefore, when the emperor made the promise, it was because of his superiors. Now that he has sobered up, he would rather go back on his word than open an arsenal.

But big forces like the Holy Fire Palace will definitely quit, so joint debt collection is definitely a must.

The emperor couldn't even defeat Prince Honglian, so how could he deal with these forces who had defeated Prince Honglian?

And this year, there is an answer.

This answer was pieced together piecemeal by the warriors who escaped from the north in the caravan.

But to put it simply, in one sentence: the emperor valued Xing Kui, and he even worshiped one Xing Kui as his national advisor.

What Li Yuan knew through the caravan, the proprietress naturally also knew.

The landlady was very curious.

"Isn't this emperor stupid? If he uses Xing Kui as his national advisor, won't Xing Kui covet his Great Zhou treasury?"

Li Yuan gave a guess to answer her doubts: "Maybe Xinggui really doesn't covet the Great Zhou Treasure House."

"Why?"

"The level of the corpse itself does not represent the strength of the strength.

There were not many ghost realms in the past, so most of the treasures hidden in this Great Zhou treasure house should be treasures that are beneficial to the cultivation of warriors.

But these treasures were exactly what Xing Kui didn't need, so that's why the emperor so generously worshiped Xing Kui as his national advisor. "

"Then what's the picture?" The landlady was very curious.

Li Yuan was silent for a moment. His impression of Yujing City mainly consisted of a few things:

1. Yan Mu escorted an upright official to Yujing;

Second, Prince Honglian captured Yujing, but stopped pursuing the emperor, which gave the emperor an opportunity to call on the world's forces to besiege him. Later, the emperor regretted it, and the world's forces pressed for debt, and the emperor used Xinggui to fight against it;

Third, the Yiyi Zhai, or the Yiyi Zhai.

"The water in Xingwu is too deep, and the water in Ghost Realm is too deep. They are willing to form an alliance with the emperor, and they must have a big plan." Li Yuan murmured, and then said, "I suspect that the famine in the farmland every year is related to these Things are related.”

The landlady also knows what her man means.

The farmland is famine and the meat fields are fertile.

And the better the meat field is, the scarier the ghost land will be.

Just like one yang and one yin, the Tao is one foot high and the devil is one foot high.

You know, the meat fields in the border areas can already produce eighth-grade monster meat. What the meat fields in Yujing City look like now, just thinking about it, you know it must be extraordinary.

"I don't know when it will end." The landlady sighed softly, "It wasn't like this in the past.

There will be famine this year and a bumper harvest next year. The world may be good or bad. It can be regarded as impermanent at best.

But now.

Eh.

This is the fifth consecutive year of poor harvests.

If it weren't for the increase in farmland, the increase of farmers, and the reduction of agricultural rents, all these counties would have become hell on earth.

This is because God doesn’t want people to live.

It’s almost time to harvest again this year.”

There was not much optimism in her face because she had already visited the farmland.

On the loess, the sorrow hanging on the brows of farmers has explained everything.

October.

Bad harvest.

The output of eighth-grade monster meat in the meat field has increased again, and there is a trend of expansion.

Late winter.

In Shanbao County, Xuedaomen tested the "ghost boundary" of the "black market ghost domain" as usual, and found that the boundary had expanded. Although it had not reached the ground, the closest point was no more than ten meters away.

If any water player wants to go for a swim in the lake, he might end up swimming into a ghost land.

Therefore, a new bloody forbidden sign was erected on the shore, which was shocking.

Spring will come next year.

In Qiutang County, a powerful sixth-grade ghost servant suddenly walked out of the ghost land of mass graves. The ghost servant wore ancient clothes that were completely different from those of this era. General Gu Xiang was immediately stunned, but fortunately this ghost servant was The kind of "every wrongdoer has his own debtor", after General Gu Xiang stepped aside, he did not pursue him again, but left Qiutang County, and he did not know where he went.

A month later, the sixth-grade ghost servant came back, dragging behind him a large sack containing dozens of dead people.

General Gu Xiang went to inquire about it and found out that in the county next door, an entire family was slaughtered by a mysterious strong man. But the strange thing is that this family has a good reputation in the local area and is known as a good person. It is impossible to offend anyone, let alone a sixth-grade expert.

This made General Gu Xiang very perceptive, because he thought of some possibility.

As the saying goes, "Every wrongdoer has his own debtor," but when those ancient people returned to the world, their enemies might have died of old age long ago. However, these ghost servants did not give up. They probably found the descendants of those enemies back then, and then directly slaughtered the families where the descendants belonged, and then took them back to the mass grave.

In this way, it really answers the saying "When will the injustice be repaid?"

Nothing happens in summer.

Autumn, bad harvest.

This is the seventh consecutive year of poor harvests.

winter.

Pang Yuanhua accidentally observed a new soul line in the sky.

Li Yuan and her followed the clues, and then discovered that the "Carpenter Shop" had actually revived.

A large number of people disappeared, and at the same time some people suffered from the strange disease of "withering of flesh and blood".

Both Li Yuan and Pang Yuanhua knew that "withered flesh and blood" was a sign of "queuing up to enter the carpenter's shop".

Immediately, Pang Yuanhua went to the No. 14 wing on the left side of the Zhong Mansion to take a look, and then brought back the result: Bao Dacong was still alive.

Since Bao Dacong is still alive, it stands to reason that the "Carpenter Shop" should still be stuck.

After that, they began to investigate more people who suffered from the strange disease of "blood withering" to understand what they saw in the carpenter shop.

Then, a chillingly horrifying answer emerged:

There is an extra row of wooden frames in the carpenter's shop.

This means that the original order of queuing up one by one has been broken.

The team became two.

Li Yuan and Pang Yuanhua started running around again, following the same pattern, and continued to catch those bandits who did all kinds of evil. Then Li Yuan smeared the bandits' blood, then opened the door and threw the bandits into the carpenter's shop.

But this time there was a little accident. The first bandit failed to escape, and it was not until the second one that he succeeded.

The carpenter's shop was blocked again.

But both Li Yuan and Pang Yuanhua felt extremely heavy in their hearts, as if they were weighed down by heavy iron blocks.

The Ghostland is not static, it is growing.

Today there are two rows of wooden frames in the carpenter's shop, but what happens next?

No one knows whether it will become more than a dozen rows, or even dozens or hundreds of rows of wooden frames.

One or two rows can still block it, but if there are more, how can it block it?

After finishing their busy work, Li Yuan and Pang Yuanhua were not happy at all.

Because the world is undergoing some terrible changes.

Now is just the starting point of this change.

After returning to Baihua Manor, Li Yuan began to practice skills in batches.

However, because sixth-grade resources and skills require blood gold to purchase, the skills he can obtain are still seventh-grade.

It's not that he doesn't want to break into the fifth level.

But the more he tries, the more he understands that the fifth level is an incredible realm, and it may not even be a realm that can be broken through by one person.

He is not completely inexperienced in this kind of thing. Before time travel, he had read some things. Those things mentioned techniques such as "Tao Heart Demon Seed" and power promotions such as "Seizing Characteristics". Law.

The more Li Yuan tried, the more he felt that the Shadow Blood Technique in this world was probably just like this.

He is the sower.

He sowed the seeds.

Then, you need to wait for the seeds to take root, germinate, and bear fruit.

After that, he went to grab those fruits.

After eating those fruits, he can see the road behind.

Very realistic and cruel.

But it’s cold at high places

The road leads to the sky, but only one person can walk it.

The throne is so illustrious, when will we see the two of them?

The vague guess made him seem to have gained some insight into the truth of the world.

It's the tip of the iceberg, but it's already freezing cold.

Late winter.

A group of rebel soldiers suddenly and explosively surged in from the north. These rebel soldiers had no sense at all, their eyes were wild, and they rushed into the antelope's mouth without thinking.

However, the three counties of Shanbao, Huamo and Tiannan behind Lingyangkou have long become a whole surrounding Wulu. The three parties dispatched experts to kill all the rebels, and then took turns to guard them to deal with the insurgents who came from time to time. .

Antelope Pass also began to transform into a pass.

But the weird thing is that those rebels seemed to be completely crazy and not afraid of death at all, but they didn't look like the secret army concocted by secret methods, they were just purely crazy.

This winter, the weather was not cold, but the sun was shining brightly.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, flowers suddenly bloom with bright colors.

The bright colors are frightening and creepy.

At this moment, a heavy snow finally fell in the sky.

The temperature dropped like a cliff, and the flowers that bloomed all withered the next day, as if God had made a joke.

These anomalies made Li Yuan feel more and more congested.

But all he can do is to expand the depth of his "skill pool" while suppressing the suffering and patiently waiting for the seeds to take root and sprout.

Early spring.

In the manor, Li Yuan was shirtless, carrying a heavy weight, holding a dragon sword and spear in his hand, and practiced stabbing repeatedly.

The thrust was like a poisonous snake leaping out of the sky. It was fast and cruel, and there was no change in angle or direction at every turn.

Gunsling!

This is a direction for Li Yuan to expand his "skill pool", which can directly enhance his flexibility in battle.

Whoosh! Whizzing! Whoosh whoosh! !

It was another six shots in a row, but the six shots were stabbed in the same space, and the directions could be said to be completely overlapping.

The young man's thoughts moved again, and several gun shadows were thrown to another place, and they hit the same position.

This is a seventh-level skill [Throat-locking Spear] that he collected. It is now close to perfection. Except for Li Yuan who clicked 1 skill point at the breakthrough point, he practiced the whole process by himself.

Compared with the continuous use of the previous [Yin Serial Gun], this [Throat-locking Spear] pays more attention to precision.

A fly came buzzing, and Li Yuan said that if he pricked its left wing, it would not prick the right.

[Throat-locking Spear] After practicing, the young man flipped his palm, and the Dragon Saber and Spear suddenly became more flexible, changing from a poisonous snake out of grass to a bird in the clouds hovering in his palm and flying between his fingers.

The tip of the spear is like a bird's beak, connecting points in all directions, and every point is instantaneous and returns without any nostalgia.

It was as if the gun in his hand came alive. One moment it was still in the east, and the next moment it was in the west. It was unpredictable.

This method is another seventh-level marksmanship skill that Li Yuan is practicing, called [Five Finger Jumping Forest Spear].

Rather than being continuous and precise, this marksmanship pays more attention to flexibility and change.

[Five-Finger Jumping Forest Spear] After practicing, the gun in the young man's hand suddenly changed again, becoming powerful and heavy.

After a while, the gun changed again. The gun moved like a dragon and its hitting point varied.

In an instant, the spearmanship became simple and unpretentious again, but within this unpretentiousness, there were hidden various killing moves.

The following three marksmanship techniques are respectively named "Huitongganzi", "Xianbianplumu" and "Hunyuan Zimu".

Li Yuan held the sixth level of perfection and practiced the seventh level skills.

He originally trained with guns and knives, but practiced in reverse, and his training speed was extremely fast.

These five spears were practiced together without any delay.

By the time the five-gun practice was over, it was completely dark.

But this day was a little different from the past.

A letter came from afar and was placed beside him.

The letter was written by Yan Mu.

The content is simple: He is coming back.

Li Yuan showed it to Lady Yan.

Lady Yan smiled and said, "Ms. sir, you want more nephews."

Li Yuandao: "I had a fight with his brother and went to pick him up personally."

Lady Yan corrected her: "It's a nephew, a nephew, not a brother."

Li Yuan smiled.

That night, he came to the secret room, thought for a while, and made a fake life chart.

Maybe he is careless, but when a former friend returns, time may not change his feelings for the old friend.

Even though Yan Mu didn't say anything, he could have guessed that Yan Mu was most likely a disciple of a big force, not only a disciple of a big force, but also a disciple with "connections".

Otherwise, how could he have such huge mood swings as the battle situation changes? How could he survive in a place like Jade Capital City?

You know, Yan Mu is two years older than him. Even if he is a genius in a big force, his strength is only there.

He treats Yan Mu, his nephew, and this brother with affection.

However, he had to hold back on that powerful disciple.

Late spring.

Li Yuan thought hard and merged the six spear techniques into one, which he named "Liuhe".

This "Liuhe" and "Destroy the City" are both unique skills in the seventh level, and are the pinnacle of seventh level skills.

When it comes to destroying a city, it means being extremely powerful and killing it with one sword.

In this Liuhe, guns can be fired from all over the body, and they can arrive in an instant. They are strange but have powerful penetrating power.

Such stunts did not greatly improve Li Yuan's overall strength, but they could significantly improve his actual combat ability.

At this moment, the disciples who had been sent to wait at Changmian River Ferry in advance sent flying pigeons and sent back the news: Yan Mu had arrived, and they would stay overnight outside first, and then pass through the Antelope Pass two days later.

Li Yuan received the letter, spoke to Lady Yan and the proprietress, then rode a fast horse, carried two jars of good wine, and left through the north gate.

Two days passed quickly, and Li Yuan also arrived at the entrance to the three border counties.

The flowers are in full bloom, colorful, swaying in the wind, and fragrant.

The young man got off his horse calmly and sat in the long grass under the old tree on the side of the antelope's mouth, waiting.

An hour later, a figure in white clothes rode in from the gazelle's mouth, surrounded by Blood Knife Sect disciples.

The figure was thin, somewhat elegant like a scholar, and the face looked familiar to Li Yuan, it was Yan Mu.

Yan Mu is two years older than him, so he should be twenty-five this year.

Twenty-five years old should have been an age when he was ambitious and wanted to make a career, not to mention that this was a young man who had stayed in Yujing City for a long time.

However, all Li Yuan saw was fatigue, disappointment, and a face full of vicissitudes and desolation.

Li Yuan glanced at the information beside Yan Mu again: 500~530 (600~630).

With this look, most of his previous conjectures were confirmed.

I really didn’t expect that the Yan family is still a related household.

At least this is Yan Mu.

Otherwise, with this strength, how could he survive in Yujing?

You know, Yan Mu escorted that honest official to Yujing eight years ago.

Sixteen-year-old Yan Mu's strength is at least seventh level, right? Counting a little more, entering the sixth level for the first time is a big deal.

Therefore, Li Yuan continued to speculate that Yan Mu did not escort the man to Yujing alone.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he smiled, held the wine, opened his arms, and greeted her.

When Yan Mu saw Li Yuan, he was stunned for a moment because Li Yuan had changed so much.

The frail, honest young man with a bit of pride back then was now a majestic figure with a majestic body. Before he even got close, a wave of oppressive energy rushed towards him.

And he has changed a lot.

He was full of pride when he left, but now his face is full of stubble, his eyes are full of desolation, and he is extremely vicissitudes of life.

Yan Mu hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and shouted: "Uncle!"

Li Yuan took a few steps forward, hugged him, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, I seem to have not had enough wine when I go to the Central Plains."

Yan Mu was stunned.

Li Yuanhao laughed heartily and said: "If you drink enough wine, why are your eyes so tired?"

Yan Mu smiled, squeezed out a smile, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "Although Yujing is good, it is better to return home early. It is better here."

Li Yuan threw him a jar of fine wine and said, "I'm not bragging. This wine was brewed in my other wife's restaurant and is famous far and wide."

Yan Mu smiled. He was used to drinking fine wine, so how could he expect too much from drinks in a small place? However, some of his worries disappeared when he returned.

Brother, he is still the same brother as before.

And when he entrusted his aunt to his brothers, he also had plans to match her.

It was no surprise that my uncle called out this time.

He immediately opened the seal and put it to his mouth. He paused for a moment. When he saw Li Yuan holding the altar with one hand and respecting him from afar, he smiled and said: "This sip is not a drink, but a remembrance of my brother's reunion." Affection!"

After that, the two looked at each other, smiled, and drank the wine.

After the wine entered his throat, Yan Mu showed a look of surprise, and then said: "This wine tastes sweet."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Gant Niang's tastes delicious."

Yan Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Gant Niang's tastes delicious."

Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Now that you're back, let's stay a little longer. It's best to stay here forever. What's so good about Yujing?"

"Yu Jing. Yu Jing" Yan Mu seemed to remember something, and then sighed.

Li Yuandao: "Man, why are you sighing?"

Yan Mu showed a self-deprecating look and said: "I was too young back then. I thought I was escorting an upright official who cared about the country and the people, but I didn't expect that he was just a profit-seeking person!

Being an upright official is just his disguise, his mask. I was deceived by him! "

After that, he became more and more angry. He raised his head to the sky and shouted with great grief and anger: "The ancient sages cared about the country and the people. Are they safe now? Are they safe?!!!"

Li Yuan glanced at him in surprise. Is this nephew really worried about the country and the people?

He waved his hand back, looked at the Blood Knife Sect disciples around him and said, "You go first."

The disciples of the Blood Knife Sect clasped their fists and saluted respectfully, then obeyed their ancestor's order and rode off.

After a while, only two horses were left walking side by side on the long road.

Li Yuan then asked: "Is the honest official dead?"

"not dead."

Yan Mu said, "He is not an honest official who needs my escort at all, but an inner disciple of a powerful force. He is stronger than me, but he is still pretending to be weak.

The reason why he went to Yujing was because he knew that the Red Lotus Thief was about to rise, and wanted to inform the sect where he was of this information in advance. "

"Which door?"

"Shenmu Temple." Yan Mu said, then raised his head and said, "Do you know why he hurried to the door to report the news?"

Li Yuan shook his head in cooperation.

"I only found out recently." After saying that, Yan Mu clenched his fists, "The reason why that bitch told the Shenmu Temple was not because he wanted the Shenmu Temple to unite with other forces to suppress the Red Lotus thieves to prevent lives from being destroyed.

He...he...he actually wanted all the major forces to let go and let the Red Lotus thieves attack all the way to Yujing City.

Once the Red Lotus thieves have done enough to destroy the royal family, they will reap the benefits. "

Yan Mu almost roared out these words. After saying that, he laughed at himself like a deflated ball, "I'm so stupid, really."

Li Yuan sighed, patted Yan Mu on the shoulder, and comforted: "Brother Yan, you are not stupid, I would do the same thing if it were me."

Yan Mu tilted his head excitedly, his eyes red with tears, and said: "Good brother!"

The two rode horses for a while, and it was getting late, so they temporarily stayed in Tiannan County, the northernmost county.

In the inn, the two of them had another drink and then returned to the private room.

Only then did Li Yuan learn some news about Yan Mu.

Back then, when Yan Mu was young, he went out to become an apprentice, learned [Huiliu Kung Fu], and advanced all the way to the seventh level. After that, he traveled around the world and accidentally made friends with an upright official.

Seeing his ability, the upright official invited him to accompany him before going to Beijing, hoping that he would escort him.

There were other people in the world traveling with him, but the honest official took good care of him.

Later, Yan Mu found out the reason.

This [Hui Liu Gong] is actually the basic skill of the "Shenmu Temple". He has excellent talent. Now that he has reached the seventh level, he should recognize his ancestors and return to the clan.

The next day, early in the morning, the two set off and continued their journey, and arrived in Shanbao County in the evening.

Upon entering the county, Li Yuan took his nephew straight to Baihua Manor.

In front of the manor, Lady Yan was already waiting with Xiao Lin.

The two dismounted, and Xiaolin called out "Dad" with a crow on her shoulder.

Lady Yan pointed at Yan Mu and said with a smile, "That's your cousin."

Xiao Lin pouted and was about to try to call "cousin" when Yan Mu frowned and then said in a voiceless voice: "Is this... a natural thing?"

Li Yuan glanced slightly sideways.

Yan Mu noticed the gaffe, then pulled Li Yuan to one side and said softly: "Uncle, this child can't see anyone, otherwise he will get into big trouble."

"Why?"

Li Yuan's expression began to turn cold.

Yan Mu said: "You have been in the border area, so you don't know, but outside, Xinggui and the warriors are already at odds with each other.

This child's eyes are like jade, which is an extremely rare innate behavior recorded in ancient books.

No, it can no longer be described as innate.

This is the living evil spirit.

If she is seen by a powerful warrior, she will be killed without mercy.

If he is seen by Xing Gu, he will definitely want to turn away from this place and walk thousands of miles away, never to return! "
