In the early morning, when the morning sun was about to rise, Lu Yan faced the east and silently performed Xuan Gong, preparing to breathe out the purple energy of the morning sun.

As the Xuan Gong circulates, a thick purple energy comes from the sky. It is a thousand times stronger than before. Originally it could only capture a wisp of purple energy as thin as a hair, but now it is as thick as an arm.

Descended from heaven.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yan understood: At this time, he successfully cultivated the Xuan Guan Aperture!

After swallowing this rising sun purple energy into his body, Lu Yan began to use his inner strength and mental skills to transform this true energy into pure true energy.

Lu Yan estimated that the zhen qi transformed from this purple qi alone was equivalent to three years of hard training for ordinary people. According to this progress, the zhen qi consumed in the previous practice of the Xuan Guan orifice would only take a few days.

You will be able to fully recover.

The efficiency of cultivating internal energy is completely different from the past!

Sighing secretly in his heart, Lu Yan stopped his work and stood up.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door in the front yard of the Taoist temple. Hearing this sound, Lu Yan's heart moved and he turned to walk to the front yard.

In the front yard, Taoist Huolong finished his morning class and was about to go to the vegetable garden nearby to pick some vegetables for breakfast. Suddenly, he heard a series of rapid knocks on the door outside the Taoist temple.

"Coming, coming!" Taoist Huolong shouted in the courtyard, then came to the gate and opened the bolt.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the person coming out of breath grabbing his sleeves and saying hoarsely: "Is my master here?"

"Who is your master?" Taoist Huolong asked with a frown.

"My master's name is Shanglu Xiayan..."

Before the visitor could finish speaking, Lu Yan, who came out from behind, saw the young man in front of Huolong Taoist, and his expression suddenly changed: "Lü Zhong, why are you here?"

Seeing Lu Yan's figure, Lu Zhong was overjoyed: "But... I can finally see you, Master!"

"Did something happen at home?" Lu Yan looked slightly uneasy. Before coming to Longguan this time, he had told his wife that if anything happened at home, she could send someone back to Longguan to look for him.

Now when I see the housekeeper coming over, I feel a little uneasy.

Lu Zhong gasped for breath, shook his head, and said intermittently: "No...it's not...it's Lushan County..."

Lu Yan frowned: "What happened to the county?"

"A group of rebels surrounded the county town." Lu Zhong managed to regain his composure and told Lu Yan the important news. "The younger one sneaked out before they completely surrounded the county town. He came here to report the news to the master.

of."

"What? How could..." Lu Yan's expression suddenly changed. Although he had long known that the world was not stable, he did not expect that Lushan County, located in the south, would also suffer a military disaster.

"I heard that the rebel army came from the north. They were defeated by the imperial army in Jiangbei, so they scattered and somehow ended up in our Lushan County."

"This..." Hearing this, Lu Yan looked in disbelief, "Lushan County is far away from the Yangtze River. This group of rebels fled from the north of the Yangtze River. They shouldn't have come to Lushan County anyway, right?"

"I don't even know," Lu Zhong said with a bitter look on his face, "However, I heard that this group of rebels fled in all directions, and many places in the south of the Yangtze River were hit by military disasters. In some places, a large number of refugees were even taken hostage, and there was already a war.

"

Listening to the butler's explanation, Lu Yan couldn't help but remain silent.

The Huolong Taoist on the side heard clearly and said to his disciple: "You still bear the responsibility of a county magistrate, and your family members are also in the county, so you should go down the mountain as soon as possible."

Faced with Taoist Huolong's advice, Lu Yan knew that he could not delay, so he bowed apologetically to his master and said, "I cannot serve you by my master's side. Please forgive me!"

"Go! Go!" Taoist Huolong waved his hand and told Lu Yan to go down the mountain and go home as soon as possible.

Lu Yan didn't even have time to pack his luggage, so he took his housekeeper Lu Zhong down the mountain with him.

On the way, Lu Yan felt that Lu Zhong was too slow, so he simply picked up his Qinggong and galloped towards the county seat.

Lu Yan tapped his toes lightly on the ground and swept forward ten feet away. The scenery on both sides flew back, and he covered a distance of hundreds of feet in just one breath.

With just a cup of tea, the head of the county town can be seen from afar.

Lu Yanyun looked hard and saw a mixed aura rising into the sky at the gate of the county town. The color of the aura was gray, black, bloody, gloomy, or dirty. Various auras of different colors were mixed in.

Together, it gives people a very bad feeling.

When seeing this scene, Lu Yan was secretly surprised: "This is..."

Then he thought of the Taoist theory of looking for energy, and Lu Yan had a vague understanding in his heart: "Is this what Master Chu said, after opening a mysterious orifice, the supernatural power gradually emerges?"

Thinking of the scene in the morning when he breathed in the purple air of the morning sun, Lu Yan understood everything.

However, at the moment, the safety of the county is concerned, so for the time being, I can only suppress all other thoughts and concentrate on the matter in front of me.

Lu Yan took the housekeeper and flew to the crown of a tall tree near the county gate. After letting the housekeeper stand still, Lu Yan opened the branches and looked down.

At the gate of the city, they saw a group of rebels armed with a variety of miscellaneous weapons and different styles of weapons, driving a group of skinny refugees, carrying a huge log, and kept crashing into the city gate.

On the city wall, the county soldiers were holding bows and arrows, shooting down the city.

Once a refugee fell, the rebel army immediately drove the refugee team, went up to replace the fallen refugee, and continued to carry the wood to hit the city gate. Any refugee who dared to disobey was immediately hacked to death by the rebel army.

On the one hand, they will die immediately, and on the other hand, even if they are hit by an arrow, they may not die. The lesser of the two forces harms each other. Under the threat of death, these refugees dare not make mistakes and can only risk the arrows.

Threatening, continue to attack the city gate.

Seeing these rebels not taking the lives of the refugees seriously at all, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel angry.

After careful identification for a while, Lu Yan quickly found his target: several soldiers wearing leather armor, who looked to be of higher status than those wearing cloth armor, and another person wearing armor who was in a similar position.

Surrounded and protected by leather-armored sergeants.

Lu Yan knew that these sergeants wearing leather armor should be the leaders of this group of rebels, and the one wearing armor should be the leader of this group of rebels.

Lu Yan quickly made a calculation in his mind: "As long as these leaders are eliminated, this group of rebels will fall into a leaderless state!"
