Taiping Inn

After Li Xuan finished packing the pots and bowls, the two of them did not rest and continued to rush to the night.

There is a saying called "traveling in the morning, the sea and the evening of Cangwu", which is not an exaggeration, but it is not something that ordinary warriors and alchemists can hope for. To achieve this, they must have the earth immortals in the longevity realm, but the masters in the heavenly realm. Below, even the master of the True Realm could not control the wind and could only rely on his feet to rush on his way. In this way, it is at most not much different from the galloping horse.

The so-called legend that a thousand miles of horse travels thousands of miles a day is often exaggerated. For a single horse, it is almost impossible. Even if it is a dead horse, it is difficult to do it.

As for the 800-mile rush that the people often say is also wrong. The court only has 600-mile rush. Whether it is the military information of the Ministry of War, or the emergency delivery from the cabinet and the Sili Supervisor, it is at most 600-mile rush. It is not that the court does not want to Set up an 800-mile rush, but it cannot. Six hundred miles is already the limit of manpower and horsepower.

Putting aside the alchemist, the journey of the master of the True Realm is not a desperate escape, but a maximum of 600 miles a day, and the physical strength and qi are also limited, just like an ordinary person walking a few hikes. Ten miles may not feel overworked, but if you run for several miles, you will be out of breath. Therefore, after traveling 600 miles a day, the master who returns to the true realm should take a little rest to restore his energy and physical strength.

Of course, if you do everything and do not hesitate to lose your body, energy and blood, or even try to leave internal injuries and dodge your qi, let alone traveling 600 miles a day, it will not be a problem if you travel a thousand miles a day. It’s just that there are very deep hidden dangers unless It's about running for life, no one will be so rushing.

Li Xuandu and Bai Juan traveled more than 600 miles in one go. At this time, it was not far from Xiyang County. It was about half a day before it could be reached. There was a Taiping Inn on the roadside, so the two of them came to the inn for a while. Take a rest.

Speaking of Taiping Inn, Li Xuan is no longer surprised. Since the Taiping Sect closed the mountain, although he has not been involved in the affairs of the world on the surface, he has made many actions in secret, and opening Taiping Inn is one of them. one. Many times, Taiping Sect simply spends money to buy an inn and change its signature, which becomes Taiping Inn under the name of Taiping Sect. For people in the martial arts world, the name of Taiping Sect is the greatest guarantee, so they also moved in one after another. In this way, the prosperity of business is secondary. It became extremely convenient for Taiping Sect to inquire about information through these inns distributed in various places. Moreover, with more Taiping Inns, it is easy to confuse the public. Mrs. Lu and Shen Yuanzhai's appearance twice The world is all under the guise of Taiping Inn.

When I entered the inn, the shopkeeper was an old man, no boss's wife, only two young guys.

Bai Juan made an exception last night and ate snake meat, but today he would never eat it again. Li Xuandu was not absolutely necessary and would never do fasting. So in the end, Li Xuandu asked for a sheep. Legs and a pot of turbid wine, while Bai Juan sat aside and watched him eat.

Li Xuandu eats very quickly, but he doesn't feel rough and rude. Bai Juan couldn't help asking, "Who did you learn how to eat?"

Li Xuandu stopped a little, took out a hand towel from the "Eighteenth Floor" to wipe the greasy on his hands, and said, "I learned from my second senior brother. The second senior brother is a gourmet who is well versed in this way. He loves to make friends with him. He once had a feat that he traveled all over the world just to eat. He had two special dishes, one was snake meat and the other was autumn crab. He was extremely particular about eating crabs. Using eight crabs can help you not hurt the crab shells. Eat all the crab meat, and the remaining crab shells can be pieced together to form a complete crab."

Bai Juan asked again, "What kind of person is Mr. Haishi?"

Li Xuan thought for a while and replied, "To me, he is a good person and a relative. But to others, he is a weird person. The Qingwei Sect used to be called the East China Sea monster by people in the world. Now There are also many people who call him second senior brother this way, calling him "Mr. Zhang in person" and calling him a strange man from the East China Sea behind his back."

"What are you?" Bai Juan joked: "Donghai Ding's disciple?"

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "If I put aside the 'Purple Mansion Sword Immortal', I don't have a nickname, and few people even know that Mr. Fourth is named Li Xuandu, but only know that there is a fourth gentleman in Qingwei Sect."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Our fifth brother has welcomed you, why didn't we meet you?"

Bai Juan shook her head and said, "I accidentally learned that Qingyang Sect was going to assassinate my uncle. The situation was urgent, so I didn't have to wait for her and could only leave a message to her at the place we agreed on."

Li Xuan had calculated silently in his heart and said, "This is Qizhou. She can not only call the Qingluanwei's eyes and ears, but also use the Qingwei Sect's men. She should be able to chase him soon."

Bai Juan said, "In this way, you are the most miserable in the Qingwei Sect. You are alone, not even a helping person."

Li Xuandu sighed lightly: "The people who followed me in the past either changed their families or were sent to other places. They were all implicated by me. Now, how can I expect that there are still people standing by me. This side.

Bai Juan asked, "Then are you going back to Qingwei Sect?"

Li Xuandu said, "Go to see the old man directly."

Bai Juan said "Oh" and stopped talking.

Li Xuan looked at the legs of lamb with half of the left, and had no intention of continuing to eat it. He just slowly drank the pot of turbid wine. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt dizzy. He suddenly reached out to hold the edge of the table. He barely held his body and blinked hard, but found that the white silk sitting opposite him had become blurred and even a heavy shadow appeared.

Li Xuan subconsciously thought that there was something wrong with the wine and mutton, but since he practiced the "leakage and lesion", he can almost be considered as a poison that is not invaded by all poisons unless it is the "soul-returning fragrance", but who would use "soul-returning" Xiang" Come to plot against him? Not to mention the degree of cherishing the soul-returning fragrance, even if there is a soul-returning fragrance, it will only cause people to temporarily lose their cultivation and will never have symptoms of dizziness.

At this moment, Li Xuandu vaguely saw the blue veins on the back of his hand storm, and black air was winding.

He looked up again and saw Bai Juan vaguely getting up to support him, as if he was saying something, but he could only hear his violent heartbeat in his ears.

A thought flashed through Li Xuandu's mind: "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin".

The next moment, Li Xuan felt a chill in his chest and a cold back. He felt dizzy and completely ignorant of the human affairs.

Li Xuandu's coma was different from the last attack of the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" this time. There was no sign this time. Li Xuandu did not enter the sea of ​​consciousness that looked like a dream, but completely fainted.

I don't know how long it took, Li Xuan was slightly conscious, but his hands and feet were unable to move. He couldn't open his eyes. He just felt like his body was floating in the clouds, and it seemed to be floating in the water. At the same time, he was indescribable and uncomfortable inside. The six internal organs seemed to be gnawed by countless insects, and the eight strange meridians seemed to be swiming in it. He wanted to open his mouth and shout, but he couldn't make a sound. This torture was the first time he had encountered it since his cultivation level was successful. .

Li Xuan has always maintained this state of sleeping but not sleeping, and not awake. I don't know how long it took, but in a trance, he felt that he was in a vast ocean, with a vortex sea eye in the ocean, and a giant tree in the sea eye, which was tens of thousands of feet high, and it was straight through. In the sky, there are no branches and leaves on the tree, only thunder surrounds it.

Li Xuandu knew that he had entered the sea of ​​consciousness. When his mind moved, his eyes raised. He saw ten black snakes wrapped around the trunk of the giant tree. His erect snake eyes looked at Li Xuandu coldly. It is to open its mouth and show its poisonous fangs, or to spit out a snake letter.

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He thought that after he recovered his cultivation level to the true realm, he would be able to control the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin". So based on the original eight swords, he practiced more "Qingmo Three Thousand Armors" and "The moon is bright in the blue sea", but I never thought that the backlash of the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin" was so fierce and so secret, without any warning, and it was hard to defend.

Suddenly, Li Xuan felt a split headache, but it also gave him some strength. He opened his eyelids with difficulty, but saw himself lying on a bed. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Bai Juan sitting beside the bed. On the stool, her back was facing her. At this time, she took off her hat. Even if she had combed her hair, her hair still poured on her back. It was extremely beautiful just from the back.

Li Xuan opened his mouth and made a faint sound.

Bai Juan suddenly turned around and said in surprise and joy: "Are you finally awake?"

Li Xuan felt that he had gradually gained control of his body, but this also made him very worried. When he reached his level, he was already instructed by his body like an arm, and it was not far from the unity of spirit and flesh, even in his dreams. The body moves at will, so there is a story about the martial arts master sensing the murderous intent and shooting the assassin in his sleep. When did Li Xuandu have symptoms of separation of consciousness and body? Is this a sign that the "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" seized the main body of the sword?

Just as he thought of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but cough and let out a breath of turbid air, just like a person holding his breath finally breathing, and it seemed that he had removed a big stone pressing on his chest.

This time, Li Xuan was finally able to speak: "Where are we...?"

Seeing that he was unconscious, Bai Juan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We are in the guest room of the inn, the Taiping Inn where we are staying."

Li Xuandu asked, "How long have I been fainting?"

Bai Jian showed a sad look on his face: "Three days and three nights."

Li Xuandu let out a long breath, his whole body was sore, and he could feel the pain. It was a good sign, and it was a blessing in disguise. However, the "Thirteen Swords of the Taiyin" could no longer be practiced, even if he was Li Xuandu , he was once the tenth person on the Taixuan List, and he would never dare to take risks.

Li Xuan was trying to get up, but his hands and feet were sore and weak. He wanted to activate his qi, but his chest was cold again, which almost made him feel angry.

Bai Juan hurriedly held him down and said, "You are backfiring by the 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin', so you must not use your energy rashly."

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Bai Juan said seriously, "Li Xuandu, tell me honestly, how many 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords' have you practiced?"

Li Xuandu saw Bai Juan's serious face, and felt guilty for the first time, and whispered: "Ten Swords."

Bai Juan's face became colder and he suppressed his anger and scolded him: "You really want to die. The 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' are mysterious and useful, but they are harmful things. They are simply fish baits for the Yin-Yang Sect to fish in the rivers and lakes. , specialize in fishing for pretentious people like you."

Li Xuan knew that he was in the wrong and dared not reply.

Bai Jian took out a small bottle from his Sumeru treasure with a face and handed it to Li Xuandu, saying, "Take the elixir, and after the elixir takes effect, you can use the qi to use the qi. The machine slowly refines the remaining medicinal power, which can temporarily suppress your injury."
