Five Immortals Gate

Qingshan Pass, the Marshal's Mansion in the city, and the lobby of the Rear Mansion are still empty.

In the silence, the ringing voice suddenly echoed, "Senior brother, are we just going to keep waiting like this? We don't have the initiative, but there will inevitably be sudden changes."

Dazzling sunlight shone in from outside the door, making the lobby bright. Hong Linying sat on a large chair and shook her reflective bald head.

"This guy is not only cautious, but also a little slippery. In the next few times, he only fed back his thoughts to us through a few oral messages from Liu Chengyong and the letters he brought to confirm each other. Liu Chengyong's oral messages often contain a few key sentences, and The letter never mentioned the skills or escape. He only said that if he could have good wine next time, he would bring the homemade bacon. He was extremely careful because he was afraid that the letter would fall into Ji Wenhe's hands. handle.

The initiative is really in his hands now. We gave him a way to escape last time, but he rejected it.

That is, after he entered the city once, I sent someone to pretend to be an assassin from Meng Guo who sneaked in to assassinate our important personnel. Unexpectedly, I met him on the street and recognized him as Ji Wenhe's disciple. , and then he killed Chen An and Li Yin on the street, and then hid him in a secret passage for one or two months. After Ji Wenhe searched for a long time, he was helpless about the matter, so he Give me the technique, and I will quietly send him to escape from here, but he firmly refuses to agree. This also cuts off any further plans of coercion and inducement after we capture him. "

"Senior brother, if you don't wait until he comes to the city next time, I will pretend to be an assassin and take him directly, and then find an opportunity to take him to the secret room."

"I have considered your idea, but there are some problems with doing so. After being captured forcefully, will he cooperate? Can he give us the exercises? Will he be tortured then? Who can guarantee that he will not survive? If you have resentment in your heart and change a few things in the practice, it will be irreversible for the practice of inner strength and mind."

"This won't work, that won't work either. It's really irritating. I don't believe he can't tell the truth under my hands."

"Junior brother, please be patient and wait for a while. If it doesn't work, we have no choice but to do this." Hong Linying patted his bald head with his hand. ??

At this time, footsteps were suddenly heard outside. After a while, the footsteps stopped outside the door, and then a voice came from outside the door: "Commander, Captain Liu is here to see you."

"Oh? He's here, call him in quickly." Hong Linying sat up straight, and after thinking deeply, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Chen An and Li Yin looked at Li Yan, who was riding wildly in front of him, with shame on their faces. They stepped off their mounts helplessly and chased after him with a "clang, clang, clang, clang, clang".

After entering the city today, Li Yan not only bought some clothes, he was also very interested in some things from Liu Chengyong's army. In the end, Chen An and Li Yin had their horses covered with helmets, armor, and military boots. The most embarrassing thing was There was still a big pot and a big spoon hanging on the horse's butt. Chen An covered his face in the malicious eyes of the military camp, and walked towards the north gate in embarrassment amidst the sound of "clang, clang, clang".

After they entered the Military Advisor's Mansion, they walked towards the inner valley amidst looks of astonishment and admiration.

\u003c/di\u003e

This time, even the horses were brought in. As soon as they entered the valley, a spiritual consciousness swept over them. When this spiritual consciousness swept over the two war horses, the spiritual consciousness immediately trembled, and then seemed to see no one. Seemed to shrink back.

Li Yan was walking in front, and he couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth after feeling the spiritual consciousness retracted. Behind him, Chen An and Li Yin lowered their heads and led their horses into the valley, looking like they didn't want to get closer to him.

"I'll let you clean it. I'll bring back more things every time I come back for you to clean." Li Yan thought to himself.

Then he turned around carelessly, pointed to the outside of his house and said, "Put all the things you need today there."

After Chen An and Li Yin took a look, they said sadly, "Sir, your door is almost blocked." At the door of the stone house where Li Yan lives, there are two or three wooden cabinets with large doors. It was open, but it was filled with farm tools such as plows, rakes, shovels, and stone mortars. There was also a candied haws pole leaning against the door, with many dried candied haws stuck on it. This was a temporary incident after Li Yan entered the city last time. , so he brought back a candied haws-gluten dish sold in a pot.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Just put it away when I asked you to. Should I put it in the house? Then how can I sleep?" Li Yan began to look at the two of them with unkind eyes.

"Okay, I'll let it go now." Chen An and Li Yin trembled and quickly agreed. Immediately, amid the sound of jingling bells, it was unloaded all over the floor, and then Chen An and Li Yin quickly took their horses and covered their faces and left.

From beginning to end, there was no movement or anyone opening the door and coming out of the first stone house.

Li Yan nodded with satisfaction, then walked around the things on the ground a few times, then picked up the helmet and armor and made some signs on his body. After a while, he seemed not satisfied again, and made a "bang" sound again. He threw it into the pile, muttered a few words, and walked back into the house.

After walking into the house, Li Yan poured a glass of water, took a sip, and then lay down on the bed. He closed his eyes lazily, looking satisfied, but in fact, he was already upset at this time.

It has been more than half a month since the last decision he made. Today he went to the city to find Liu Chengyong and handed him a letter. The letter stated that he wanted to bring the uncle with him when he was farming in more than a month. Come to Li Yan's ancestral secret marinated meat. At noon, he will go to get the meat first. In addition, it will take about an hour on the road. Let Liu Chengyong prepare the fine wine first and then go to the wine shop to drink together. If the wine is not good wine, , then he would take the bacon back and enjoy it for himself.

These were also some of the code words he had agreed with Hong Linying, which meant: "He plans to escape on the same day when farming starts in a month and a half. Hong Linying needs to find a reason to move the Jijun Division around him for an hour at noon." Then he will find Liu Chengyong, and if everything goes well, he will hand over the technique to them."

When he really decided on all this, he started to feel nervous. When he came back, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes to calm the turmoil in his heart.

He was definitely not planning to escape on his own, but was planning how to save Ji Junshi's life. He had been planning repeatedly for several months, but to this day, his chances of winning were still extremely slim. Thinking of the legendary Ji Junshi's terrifying martial arts, No, it should be said to be immortal arts. He was not sure at all. Although he had never seen magical arts such as Wood Thorn Technique, Fire Bullet Technique, and Wind Blade Technique, thinking about these names made him feel powerless.

But he must not wait until half a year or a year later. Then, before he can think of a solution, Master Ji will come to find him, facing a man who knows magic and is ready to kill him. , he really has no chance of winning, and now if he is caught by surprise, he may still have the possibility of surviving in death, or at worst he will just die. If he really dies in front of him, it is estimated that the third army division will also die. He has no intention of dealing with his relatives anymore.

After lying on the bed for a long time, Li Yan felt that he was calmer. He stood up and walked to the pool outside the house. His current task was to practice, practice, and practice non-stop.

As time passes, catkins are flying, the sun is getting warmer, flowers are blooming in the valley, and some trees have shed their dark leaves and replaced them with tender green buds.

The third army commander looked into the valley and touched his forehead with his hand. The valley was really full of flowers. Li Yan transplanted almost all the wild flowers outside the valley. Now they spread from the water pool to the south to the foot of the mountain, and then from the water pool to the north. A few feet in front of the stone house, there are colorful wild flowers everywhere, big, small, tall, short, and the mixed fragrance is so strong in this spring that it makes you dizzy. Even if he is in the house, the tip of his nose is full of flowers. Various floral scents.

He shook his head and looked at the pool among the flowers, where Li Yan's breath was practicing steadily. At this time, his breath seemed to have broken through the early stage of Qi Condensation.

"Okay, now you can do whatever you want. If you continue practicing like this, you may be able to break through to the late stage or peak of the first level of Qi Condensation in another year. By then, regardless of whether you have reached the peak of the first level, you have to give it a try. Now it is a problem for me to use more than 30% of my spiritual power. In one year, I will only be able to use 20% of my spiritual power. 20% of my spiritual power is already the minimum requirement for dealing with the later stage of Qi Condensation. Otherwise, if I delay further, At that time, I don’t know who can suppress whom." There was a hint of ferocity on the dark face of the third army division master.

Half an hour later, around midnight, Li Yan walked out of the pool, went back to the house and changed into a clean black robe, and then came to the front of the first stone house.

"Teacher, I want to go to the city today. I haven't brought the silver from last month to my family yet."

"Okay, you go." A voice came from inside the house. Master Ji was used to Li Yan's behavior of leaving the valley for half a month or a month. Anyway, every time he came back, he would improve his cultivation and his spirit would improve. It will be stable for a while.

Li Yan bowed and planned to go back to the house and take out the silver coins. However, at this moment, Master Ji's hesitant voice came from behind him: "Disciple, after you enter the city this time, try to leave as much silver coins as you can for your family. Don't give them all." It’s a waste of useless things. Every time you bring back big and small bags of things, you don’t see how much you have used them.”

\u003c/di\u003e

r\u003e  Li Yan was stunned, smiled knowingly, turned around again and replied, "Teacher, don't worry, I won't buy a lot."

"Oh" there was silence in the room.

Not long after, I heard a loud roar outside the valley, and Chen An and Li Yin led their horses away amidst shouts and shouts.

Time passed like this little by little, and at noon, in the Military Advisor's Mansion, "Sir, someone is coming to see you in the city. Marshal Hong needs you to come over and say that we have something important to discuss."

"Oh, it's noon, what's going on." Ji Junshi was meditating in the room. Since he came back from Daqingshan half a year ago, he has gone from being in the army for a few days to ten days at a time, or even I only went there once every half month. I usually meditate and adjust my breathing in the valley. He had just entered the city two days ago to discuss the military defense of Meng. Why did he have to go again today? Maybe something big happened. Although he didn't want to go, he still wanted to use this place for now. He really couldn't ignore it. asked.

Thinking of this, Master Jijun stood up and walked out.

Li Yan looked at the sun, and then smiled at Li Yu and Li Shan who were at the same table. Today, there were only three of him at the table, but no one else was called. Chen An and Li Yin had to sit at a table not far away.

"Li Yu, in the past six months, I have seen that your cooking skills have really improved a lot. Now you have gone from being a helper to being a co-cook. I originally hoped to eat the dishes you cooked, haha."

Li Yu blushed and said, "Brother Yan, I'm still a long way from being a cook. Well, I guess I'll be able to start learning in another year or so. Then I'll cook whatever you want. "

"Okay, Brother Yan will definitely come to eat." Having said this, Li Yan's face showed a hint of loneliness that was not easy to detect.

Li Yu and Li Shan really didn't notice these changes in him. Half of their minds were focused on the delicious food on the table. Every time Li Yan came to the city, he always invited them to have a good meal, which made them very happy.

Li Yan just paused for a moment, then looked at Li Shan with a smile, "Li Shan, have you bought the belt I asked you to buy for me last time?"

Li Shan had a bulging mouth, raised his head, smiled, and said vaguely, "Yes, yes, it's here." As he said this, he reached into his arms with one hand, took out a belt and handed it to Li Yan.

Li Yan reached out and took it. It was a purple belt as wide as a palm. He stood up happily, took off the black belt around his waist, and tied the purple belt on. Matched with his black robe, it looked really good. He looks a bit handsome and handsome.

Chen An and Li Yin raised their heads and glanced here, then lowered their heads to drink. They were speechless at this man's shopping addiction. They were crazy and wanted to buy everything. Not a few pieces needed.

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then handed the original black belt to Li Shan and said, "Li Shan, give this and the silver I gave you earlier to my uncle who comes to the city next time, and ask them to bring it to my parents. "After speaking, his tone became a little lower.

Li Shan and Li Yu looked up at each other and felt that something was wrong with Li Yan today.
