Poverty

Li Yanchu said curiously: "The senior's surname is actually Li. I thought he was from the Chen family."

The burly old man shook his head and said calmly: "I have an agreement with the founding ancestor of the Qian Kingdom, and I promise to protect his descendants for future generations."

Li Yanchu was a little surprised,

It has been six hundred years since the founding of the Qian Kingdom.

"Senior has protected the Qian Kingdom for six hundred years for the sake of friendship, which is admirable. I would like to toast to you."

The old man named Li Zhi clinked glasses with Li Yanchu and drank them all in one gulp.

"At first it was for the sake of friendship, but then it became more and more annoying as I stayed, and I thought about giving up the job. But I thought about my old friend who had gone through reincarnation, and I couldn't find him or regret him face to face, so I kept doing it in a muddle for so many years."

As he spoke, the one-armed old man named Li Zhi slammed the table.

"Damn it, you shouldn't have listened to that kid in the first place. Why should I care about his descendants?"

The old man surnamed Li was full of anger. It was obvious that there was some story between the two of them at the beginning, which was probably staged by a friend.

After a drink, the two became more familiar with each other.

Li Yanchu discovered that this martial saint was like a mortal, with joy, anger, sorrow, laughter, and curses.

It is completely impossible to tell that it is a martial arts immortal who protects the Qian Kingdom by his own efforts.

On the contrary, he looks like a bold and old Jianghu guest, who has been weathered for many years, but still has a chivalrous spirit.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Yanchu's eyes fell on the one arm of the old man surnamed Li.

"Senior's arm has never recovered. I don't know what the reason is. I have some knowledge of magic. I wonder if I can help."

The old man surnamed Li waved his hand to interrupt him. At this time, his face was red from drinking.

Mortal wine is also very powerful. He didn't use magic to resist it, otherwise he wouldn't have the intention to drink.

At this time, he was drunk and said unhappily: "Senior is the elder brother, senior is the younger brother. Call me Brother Li!"

Li Yanchu: “…………”

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he paused for a moment before saying, "Senior, you are drunk."

The old man surnamed Li said unhappily: "There is no priority in learning. The master is the teacher. Either I call you brother, or you call me brother."

He was drunk and smelling of alcohol. It was hard to imagine that this one-armed old man with a charlatanic air was actually the most powerful martial arts immortal in the Qian Kingdom!

Li Yanchu laughed dumbly.

He did not mention this topic and said: "It is not impossible to regenerate a broken limb."

The old man surnamed Li was really taken aback when he heard this. He forgot what the two people called him and shook his head: "That's it. I couldn't cure it when I was young, but I didn't bother to cure it when I could."

Li Yanchu was stunned. He didn't expect that it would be for this reason.

Then he felt a little enlightened.

"Yes, how could a martial arts immortal not be able to solve this problem?"

After the two had had enough wine and food, the old man surnamed Li rushed to pay.

Then he said goodbye to Li Yanchu, staggered and turned into a rainbow light and flew away to the sky.

Li Yanchu was also a little drunk at this time, but the old man surnamed Li had a poor alcohol tolerance. He was already drunk after drinking less than two kilograms.

Li Yanchu's drinking capacity was relatively good, but the quality was limited.

He flew unsteadily towards Wei City.

…………

At the entrance of the inn,

When the proprietress saw Li Yanchu, who was swaying and returning on a cloud, she couldn't help laughing and said:

"When I saw you turn into sword light and leave, I thought there was something urgent, but now it seems that you are in a hurry to drink."

Li Yanchu smiled at her: "Whose daughter-in-law is so beautiful?"

The landlady smiled charmingly, put her hands on her hips, showing an extremely graceful figure,

"Okay, did you go out to meet that wild woman? When you came back, your words became frivolous."

Li Yanchu stepped forward and hugged the landlady's slender waist, and kissed her gently.

The landlady's face suddenly turned red, and she gave Li Yanchu a fierce look with her autumn eyes.

Putting your hands on his solid chest,

"This is on the street, please pay attention to the impact!"

…………

On top of an unknown mountain,

There is a winding old pine growing among the rocks,

The weather is gradually getting colder, but this old pine tree is still lush and green, unaffected at all.

At this time, a light suddenly lit up on the old pine, as if a human figure fell from the void.

This figure is a young man in black. He is quite handsome and looks a little cynical.

He fell from the void. He originally wanted to make a magic spell, but seeing that there was no one around, he simply sat down on the old pine.

"Interesting and interesting. Compared to the Taoyuan Mountain Cave Heaven, the Secret Realm of Yunxiao seems a bit boring."

The young man in black has a red rope tied around his neck, and there is a copper coin on the red rope.

This copper coin was polished extremely brightly and had four words written on it:

All things welcome spring!

A ball of black energy appeared in the palm of the young man in black. The black energy slowly dissipated and turned into a small black flag.

He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

He couldn't help but smile,

"There is such a treasure hidden deep in the Taoist temple. I am indeed a very lucky person."

The young man in black thought of a happy place and simply lay down on this ancient pine tree growing out of the rock.

He crossed his legs and looked extremely comfortable.

These young men are called Zongque, and they have been guarding the secret realm of Yunxiao for many years.

Later, I saw the young Taoist killing everyone in the secret realm of Yunxiao, and threatened to crush the Spring and Autumn Forest with one foot.

The young man in black was so excited that he quietly ran out of the secret realm of Yunxiao.

The copper coin around his neck that welcomes the spring of all things can shield him from the secrets of heaven and prevent him from attracting too much attention.

Previously, he accidentally broke into the cave of Taoyuan Mountain. After many twists and turns, he also entered that strange Taoist temple.

I don’t know if it’s because of my strong luck or some other reason.

In that Taoist temple, I got the token of Six Soul Flags.

He couldn't help but smile, and then he remembered the heroic words of the young Taoist,

"It's a pity that both the Spring and Autumn Forest in Netherworld Mountain were destroyed, and there is no trace of Shengxian Mansion."

"Otherwise, crushing the Shengxian Mansion with one foot would sound extremely domineering."

Zongque put one hand on the back of his head, playing with the small black flag in his hand and tossing it around.

After staying there for an unknown amount of time, he was finally willing to move, so he slowly stood up and came to the top of the cliff.

He walked aimlessly in the mountains. When he was thirsty, he drank from the clear mountain spring. When he was hungry, he picked some fruits.

Rather, he looks like a quiet monk in the mountains.

But when he passed by a dense forest and saw a dilapidated coffin, he couldn't help but stop.

"Whose coffin is just left in the woods?"

Zong Que once practiced in the human world, and he also had some understanding of the taboos on some weddings and weddings.

At this moment, he had just stopped here when he suddenly heard a shout,

"Careful! Back away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young woman coming in the wind.

This young woman is wearing a purple dress, with a beautiful and refined appearance. A belt ties her slender waist, outlining an extremely graceful figure.

His eyes were clear in black and white, full of aura, and his skin was so white and tender that it looked as if he could squeeze out water.

There is also a middle-aged Taoist nun beside her.

The middle-aged Taoist nun was holding a whisk and wearing a lotus crown on her head, with a very serious expression.

Zongque couldn't help but take a step back and sighed: "What a beautiful girl!"

But at this moment, there was a roar in the coffin, and a female corpse broke open the coffin and flew out!

The body of this female corpse was brass-colored, with sharp black nails and disheveled hair.

At this moment, the seal was suddenly broken out of the coffin, and there was a strong wind and evil energy around him!

This is a rather special zombie, and it already has some skills.

Zong Que's cultivation level is tyrannical and he doesn't take zombies like this into his eyes at all.

But to deal with this female corpse, ordinary practitioners would probably have to use some of their hands and feet.

The girl in purple came against the wind and struck out with a fierce palm. This palm did not have a terrifying momentum.

But a palm hit the zombie's body,

The disheveled female zombie was completely blown to pieces before she could make any movement, and was immediately annihilated between heaven and earth.

Zong Que couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "This girl is so good at palm skills."

The girl in purple landed on the ground, with a look of contentment in her eyes.

He turned to the serious-looking middle-aged Taoist nun and said,

"Auntie, how did I use this move of Bahuang Liuhe Seal?"

The Bahuang Liuhe Seal is an ancient magical power passed down by the Xie family. It is based on the Qi of the five elements. It is mutually reinforcing and restraining, and it is extremely domineering.

Taoist Aunt Jingxuan heard this and said expressionlessly: "It's okay, but don't be proud and keep working hard."

Xie Wanying, a girl in purple clothes, whispered: "I know." Since opening the leak-free body, she has been assisted in practice by Li Yanchu. Xie Wanying is also a master of the three realms and has good cultivation.

Initially she wasn't interested in practicing, but then she really got into it.

Everyone in the Xie family discovered that the most talented person in the Xie family was actually this eldest lady who had always been unruly and willful.

Nowadays, Xie Wanying has mastered most of the magical swordsmanship hidden by the Xie family.

Moreover, Xie Wanying has already reached the second level of practicing the Bahuang Liuhe Seal treasured by the Xie family.

After the two chatted and laughed, they planned to turn around and leave.

The man in black couldn't help but step forward. He thought he was quite handsome and had a cool expression.

"Hello, girl, my name is Zongque, do you know the girl's name?"

Xie Wanying turned around and glanced at Zong Que, and said calmly: "I don't know you, why should I tell you your name?"

Zongque looked indifferent and said with a smile: "There is always a first time for everything. If you tell me your name, won't you and I know each other?"

This girl in purple clothes has an innocent and charming feeling, which is bright and moving.

Zongque felt that his Taoist heart, which he had practiced for many years, was faintly touched.

Xie Wanying frowned.

I don't plan to say anything more to this young man in black.

Taoist Aunt Jingxuan said calmly: "My fellow Taoist is also a Qi practitioner with a background, so it's better not to pester my children."

Taoist Aunt Jingxuan recognized the spring-welcome copper coin on the chest of the young man in black and warned him.

The corners of the young man's mouth in black twitched slightly. He wanted to say something, but it was obvious that the other party seemed to know his master, so he didn't speak again.

Aunt Jingxuan and Xie Wanying walked away against the wind.

The young man in black suddenly felt empty in his heart.

How pitiful God is,

The first time I was tempted to go down the mountain, it seemed that the trend had already died.

The young man in black lowered his head and looked at the spring-welcoming copper coin tied around his neck, and then put it into his arms so that no one would see it again.

"It's a bit strange that there are still people who recognize this copper coin."

The girl's voice and smile appeared in my mind and I couldn't help but sigh.

"It must be that I'm too young and don't understand things about men and women. It's not that I'm not charming enough."

………………

Xie Wanying and Aunt Jingxuan returned to an inn in a town to stay.

This zombie was discovered outside the city and became a climate, killing several cultivators.

Some Buddhist and Taoist masters were ready to surrender, but they were found out by Xie Wanying who was traveling.

So I went there in person, just in time to test out the eight desolate and six combined seals I cultivated.

Unexpectedly, the effect was so great that even the zombies who had become weathered could not resist it with one palm strike.

Back to the inn,

Aunt Jingxuan said: "This world is becoming more and more chaotic. A few years ago, zombies of this kind would not appear so casually in the mountains and forests."

Xie Wanying asked curiously: "Auntie, do you mean that the zombies were intentionally created by someone?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Taoist Sister Jingxuan's mouth: "You are a very clever girl."

"Yes, there must be an expert in raising corpses who is secretly planning to use the flesh and blood of living beings to raise corpses."

Xie Wanying raised her fist: "Then let's fight, find this person out and kill him!"

Taoist Aunt Jingxuan said angrily: "Do you think that with your Taoist skills, you can be like Taoist Master Li and defeat the invincible in the world?"

Xie Wanying stuck out her tongue.

Her body was leaning against the table. Although her face was very tender, some part of her body was pressed tightly against the table.

Holding your chin in your hand,

"Speaking of Daozhang Li, I really miss him a little."

Aunt Jingxuan said angrily: "I'm talking about business, don't think nonsense."

Xie Wanying smiled sweetly and said, "You didn't mention his name first. I think you miss him too, auntie."

Aunt Jingxuan scolded her with a serious face: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you up!"

Xie Wanying blinked: "Auntie, I'm not afraid of you now. Daozhang Li has left a lot of power in my body. If we really fight, hehe!"

Then she saw Taoist Sister Jingxuan looking like she was about to have a seizure, and immediately changed her tune: "So don't be angry, I'm just obedient."

Taoist Aunt Jingxuan suppressed her anger and was made dumbfounded by Xie Wanying.

"In my opinion, this is not the only kind of zombie around here. If we continue to explore, we may be able to follow the clues and find out who is behind the scenes."

Xie Wanying was a little excited and raised her fist: "Okay! Okay!"

Sister Jingxuan suddenly said: "The young man in black should be from Kunlun. Next time you see him, ignore him."

Xie Wanying raised her eyebrows: "The boy who talked to me just now?"

Aunt Jingxuan nodded: "That's right."

Xie Wanying nodded indifferently,

"That's natural. From now on, I want to be Daozhang Li's lover. I will naturally ignore that man when I see him."

When Taoist Aunt Jingxuan heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

"What I mean is that the ancient Qi Refining Sects in Kunlun can't bear to go down the mountain. There are good and evil among these people. Their inheritance is strong and they should not be provoked."

Xie Wanying said oh, and suddenly realized: "I thought you were afraid that I would fall in love with you. How is this possible? Li Dao is so handsome."

Aunt Jingxuan: "………………"

This girl is hopeless.

Fortunately, I like Daozhang Li, otherwise it would have been for nothing, which is really worrying.

........................

There is a Tutu Temple outside Jianzhou City.

What is enshrined inside is not the Lord of the Land, but the Grandma of the Land. She is wearing a yellow robe and has a kind face.

Most of the images of earth gods and earth grandmothers worshiped in folk villages are like this.

Those with better incense build temples, while those with worse ones just build a shrine made of mud or stone in the countryside.

Some don't even have statues of gods, just a sign or a stone.

But no matter what, the earth is also the most down-to-earth god.

However, this earth temple has long been abandoned, and wild foxes often gather here.

Occasionally, when someone passes by this place after dark, they will hear the sound of laughter, talking and drinking in the Tutu Temple.

People nearby found it strange.

But there has never been a fatality or disappearance here.

Therefore, no virtuous monks or Taoist priests have ever come here to slay demons.

But at this time, there was an extra tomb near the Tutu Temple.

This tomb seems to have been created out of thin air, with only an unmarked tablet.

This tomb is extremely old, and the soil above it is completely different from the surroundings.

The material of the tombstone cannot be found in the nearby mountains.

…………

After nightfall, two young men sat on the ground in the Tutu Temple.

One has a handsome face, and the other has a sinister look. In front of them are two bottles of wine, some peanuts, some braised pork, and half a roast chicken.

The two of them quickly grabbed the roasted chicken and placed both hands on the chicken legs. They couldn't help but look at each other and smiled awkwardly.

The handsome young man smiled and said, "Brother Huang comes first, after all, it was Brother Huang who brought this half chicken."

The young man with a sinister eyebrow smiled when he heard this: "I brought it just to treat Brother Hu to eat, how can I enjoy it alone?"

Even though the two of them said this, they still placed their hands on the roast chicken with no intention of letting go.

All four eyes glowed green, and there was faint saliva left on the side of his mouth, making him look extremely salivating.

These two people look quite ridiculous.

After writing the ink for a long time, a laugh finally came out: "Haha, fighting over half a roast chicken won't hurt your friends' feelings."

This voice is extremely old, but it is quite bright.

The two young men suddenly turned their heads and found that the person speaking was a gray-haired old man.

The clothes on this old man's body were extremely ancient, and he had an extraordinary air of dignity when he stood there.

The young man with a handsome face said: "The old man said it lightly. You didn't bring feelings."

The old man smiled slightly: "I have a way to solve this problem."

The two young men looked at each other and said in unison: "If you have any ideas, please tell me."

The old man with white beard and white hair said with a smile: "That means... let me eat this chicken."

After the words fell, the hands of the two young people were empty.

Half of the roast chicken in my hand disappeared.

The next moment, I took a closer look and found that the roast chicken was actually in the hands of the old man!

The old man with white beard and white hair said: "The three monks have no water to drink. I have been hungry for too long, so you should respect me first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up half of the roast chicken in his hand and started eating.

There was some anger in the eyes of the two young people, and just as they were about to explode, the wine bottle on the ground suddenly appeared in the old man's hand again, and he drank it down in one gulp.

"The wine was a little bland and the roast chicken was a little cold. It looked like it was stolen from someone else's altar."

“But it’s okay to not eat for a long time.”
