Longevity begins with Orion

In the morning light, the wind is getting warmer.

Aunt Wang was busy at the earthen stove, boiling water and cooking rice. The old lady's dirty clothes were placed in the tub next to them. She would have to go to the silver stream to wash them later. After washing, she would take time to wash herself and her children's clothes.

Outside the shed area, the dead branches of willows have sprouted buds. When the children chased and ran through the shed area, the willow ribbons were picked up by the wind and danced back and forth, giving a sense of vitality.

Before you know it, winter has passed and early spring has arrived. There is more noise in the shantytown of Silver River, and there is more joy in people's hearts.

However, Li Yuan's mood remained calm.

Today is the last day of his "sick leave". Tomorrow he has to go back to the black market, but he still doesn't know the situation in the black market.

He wanted to continue taking sick leave, but he didn't know if that was possible.

But I definitely can’t go to Zhongshi.

But he can't go anywhere else.

There is no way to get through the deep mountains and old forests. If you leave the county town, you are seeking death. The only way is to stay here in Yinxi Fang.

He wanted to wait until the dust settled and the truth came to light.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Cai Ze's shout.

"Brother Li, Brother Li?"

Li Yuan hurriedly opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Cai Ze smiled and said: "Brother Li was right to remind us that all the missing people have been found.

Their bodies were all at the bottom of the lake, so it seemed like they were murdered rather than missing.

The sect takes this matter very seriously, and will soon send someone to set up a trap to hook out this secret person. Brother Li doesn't have to worry anymore. "

When Li Yuan heard that there was progress, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as the investigation was really started and the clues were found, there should be a series of news later.

But the matter is not yet clear, and his illness will not be cured.

For a moment, he clutched his chest and coughed violently, as if he had lost his soul, "Cough cough cough, cough cough cough."

After a long time, he panted and said intermittently: "Brother Cai, I'm a little bit injured ahem, it's hard to get better from this disease, ahem."

Cai Ze suddenly came over and said: "There is a miracle doctor in the sect. If an outer disciple or an inner disciple is injured, this miracle doctor will be on call. Eh.

Brother Li is very capable. If the deputy sect leader hadn't looked down upon you, you would have been an outer disciple long ago. "

After saying this, he sighed,

There was some anger on his face,

It seemed that he was complaining for Li Yuan.

"Oh" Li Yuan responded.

Cai Ze was looking forward to something and stared at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan asked: "The deputy sect leader doesn't like me? Cough cough cough."

Cai Zedao: "Yes. Originally, Brother Li must be an outer disciple and the deputy sect leader. It's okay not to mention it."

Li Yuan coughed a few times and praised: "The deputy sect master has really good eyesight. It's difficult for me to be in this body."

Cai Ze:? ? ? ? ? ?

Li Yuan continued to cough

Cai Ze:.

For a moment, he was speechless.

Li Yuan stopped talking. He was not suitable for a passionate style and would not become cannon fodder when provoked.

He would rather stay in a relatively safe area, search for techniques as much as possible, and improve in a low-key manner.

The two chatted casually for a while, and Cai Ze chose to leave.

Li Yuan looked at the sky.

It's sunny today and the wind is gentle.

"Sister Yan." He called.

In the backyard, the pretty Lady Yan poked her head out from behind the door, "What's wrong, sir?"

"I'm going to the black market."

"ah?"

Lady Yan ran out in a hurry, a little worried.

Li Yuandao: "I'm going to see if it's possible to continue to take sick leave."

"What if you don't want to?"

"That

We can only take one step at a time and see one step at a time.”

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he ran to the kitchen, took out the casing that Aunt Wang had bought two days ago, poured some pig blood into it, then made a hole in it and threw it into his mouth in advance, just in case of emergency.

This can be regarded as an upgraded version of the "prop" of "vomiting blood at the mouth".

Afternoon.

Li Yuan landed on the island in the middle of the lake again.

The black market is still operating in an orderly manner, but the atmosphere is somewhat inexplicably solemn and solemn.

There is a small forest on the edge of the island. The right side of the forest is close to the water. The trees are evergreen. It looks a bit gloomy at this time. You can vaguely see many handymen and Blood Knife Sect disciples surrounding it.

Li Yuan didn't get too close, just glanced at it from a distance when passing by.

His pupils slowly shrank, and it turned out that the crowd was surrounded by more than ten straw mats, and on each straw mat lay a rotten "giant" that was soaked and swollen.

The one on the far side can be vaguely identified as Wen Xiaoqiao.

There was a faint, disgusting corpse odor floating in the air.

Li Yuan's heart sank, his stomach tumbled, and his Adam's apple rolled. He speeded up and hurried past without stopping at all.

Obviously, the disappearance cases on this island are not just the three recent ones but have a long history.

After a while.

He came to the main entrance of the black market, also known as the north gate.

In the nameless pavilion, Mr. Li seemed to never wake up, resting drowsily on the recliner.

However, the information around him betrayed him.

Li Yuan clearly saw that his message changed from the original "130 (180) ~ 140 (210)" to ""135 (180) ~ 145 (210)".

Mr. Li looked like he was resting, but he was actually recuperating from his injuries.

Li Yuan glanced at it and then looked away. He must continue to take sick leave today.

So, he covered his chest and saluted: "Cough cough cough cough Yuan has met Mr. Li. Cough cough"

Master Li, who was sitting on the recliner, suddenly said quietly: "Li Yuan, you actually wanted to stay home today because you were sick, didn't you?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then continued to cough, and said: "Master Li, forgive me. Yuan is really full of ambition, but not strong enough to return to his heart like an arrow. However, he is ill."

"Hehehehe."

Mr. Li laughed and said suddenly: "Let's do this, Li Yuan, I'll give you a chance.

Don't ask for leave this time, stay and follow me.

Don't go back to Zhongshi, just stay here with me at the north gate. Serve me tea and water during the day, and leave the island and go home when it gets dark. How about that? "

Li Yuan coughed a few times and said with a weak expression: "Ahem, I don't know why Yuan is so valued by Master Li."

After the words fell, the air suddenly became dull and somewhat depressing.

Li Yuan resisted this oppressive feeling and just lowered his head and said nothing. He could feel Mr. Li's burning pupils looking at him carefully, as if they wanted to illuminate his whole person.

a long time,

As Mr. Li spoke, this feeling of depression disappeared.

Mr. Li only asked four words lightly.

"Will you stay or not?"

Then,

Li Yuan answered decisively with one word: "Stay."

Mr. Li was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "Okay!"

On this day, Mr. Li didn't say anything to Li Yuan. He just asked him to bring tea and water and go grab the fruits.

Li Yuan didn't ask anything, he just did what Mr. Li told him to do.

As soon as evening came, Mr. Li stood up with a yawn.

After nightfall, the island in the middle of the lake where the black market is located will be closed to the island, so Mr. Li does not need to guard here.

Mr. Li's residence was somewhere in the North City, and Li Yuan needed to walk to the South City and take a boat back, so they parted ways halfway.

It was like this for several days in a row.

Five days later.

Li Yuan poured water for Mr. Li as usual.

But today, Master Li looked at him and suddenly asked: "Want to learn sword skills?"

Li Yuandao: "I want to."

Mr. Li said: "Then I will teach you the sword skills."

Li Yuanqi said, "What can Master Li do for me?"

Master Li said: "What you need to do is to do nothing but pass on my lineage of skills."

After that, he added, "Do you know why I want to teach you the technique?"

Li Yuan shook his head cooperatively, with an expression of curiosity on his face.

Mr. Li said: "Because you have talent and good fortune. You were born in a rural area, but at the age of seventeen you were already a high-ranking official;

You have a calm personality and don't have the impetuousness of ordinary young people. You seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. You escaped such a murder this time;

You have a good nature and serve me tea and water without flattery or resentment;

Only young people like you can pass on my skills well and prevent them from being lost.

I've been waiting for a long time, but I only got you, and that's you. "

Say it

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

"Why don't you pour the tea and salute and become your disciple?" Mr. Li said.

Li Yuan hurriedly poured hot tea, then prostrated himself on the ground, held the tea high with both hands, and said respectfully: "Disciple has met the master."

Mr. Li accepted this bow, took a sip of the hot tea, put it aside, and said: "My name is Li Yu, my sect is called Yanyuemen, and the skill I want to teach you is called Tupo Gong." , the sword technique is called Spring and Autumn Sword."
