Halfway through Mao hour, when he saw the skylight in the distance, Li Ye wrapped himself in a blanket and fell into a deep sleep.

After this hour, the monsters on Tianshan Mountain will not come out, and if they do, they will have to wait until after afternoon.

This is the experience he learned from the old ape on Tianshan Mountain.

Maybe it was because of the battle with the black snake yesterday, or because he was injured, but he started snoring after a while.

In his sleep, he dreamed that he was looking for the black snake's treasure in the cave, and suddenly Xia Wutong came down.

Seeing the pool of blue blood stained by his own blood, he looked at him blankly and asked: "Junior brother, are you a demon or a human?"

Li Ye looked at her speechlessly and replied softly: "If I tell you, I don't know myself, would you believe it?"

Xia Wutong was seen holding her head and running out, shouting as she ran, "How do you expect me to believe this?"

However, before she could reach the entrance of the cave, Nangong Ruyu revealed a small head with a pair of beautiful little horns. He looked at her and said with a smile: "Sister, Yu'er is also a demon!"

...

Li Ye didn't encounter drowsiness very often, but occasionally.

It's just that the feeling it gives him is sometimes very short-lived, but it has lasted a lifetime.

Sometimes it feels like years, but only a short moment.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the autumn sun in the sky, and it was already past noon.

Xia Wutong and the two have disappeared, the black snakes on the ground have disappeared, and the rocks in the creek are covered with dried meat.

I got up from the ground, walked to the stream and washed my face. Looking at the dried meat, I couldn't help but laugh.

You won’t go hungry this winter.

The wolves Xia Wutong picked up before were also made into dried meat. If they encounter monsters again later, they will probably be able to eat them until next summer.

Now I have to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms to prepare. I can't eat all meat.

Returning to the fire, looking at the cooked mushroom porridge, Li Ye smiled, filled a bowl and started eating.

It seems that taking these two guys with me is a bit risky, but it adds a lot of fun to the lonely mountain life.

After eating, I took out the piece of dark red metal I picked up yesterday, washed it in the stream, and then put it in the sun to study it carefully.

He saw the gradually drying metal shining with a cold luster in the sun. Li Ye felt that it was better than the black iron he had originally obtained, and slightly worse than the blue metal obtained from an unknown place.

However, if he could find a piece of earth fire in the Tianshan Mountains, Li Ye would probably be able to forge a sword that was second only to Fengming and Qingluan in the Five Realms.

It seems that his mother, Li Hongxiu and Hua Tianxia's sword can be completed this time.

Having already had several casting experiences, he estimated that it would take him two months to complete the casting task without a single winter.

Looking at the black snake bone marrow thrown on the ground, I thought that this was a good material for making swords and should not be wasted.

When the time comes to smelt metal, adding this thing will bring the iron sword to a higher level.

Although it is not as good as the skeleton of the dragon in the mountain behind Xuantian Temple, it is still many times better than the skeletons of other monster beasts.

While he was in a daze, Nangong Ruyu ran over with Xia Wutong.

"Master, where did you find this stone? Show me..." With a clang, the dark red metal fell to the ground.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Didn't Yu'er have lunch? You can't hold a stone?"

Xia Wutong glanced at him suspiciously, reached for the metal on the ground... After a while, he looked at him and asked: "Junior brother, where did you find this treasure?"

Hearing these words, Li Ye smiled, looked at the two of them and said, "I found that cave yesterday by accident. Now I can repay Brother Nalan's favor. My wife and mother's swords have also been found."

Xia Wutong was silent for a moment, looked at him and said: "So, as long as we find an extraterrestrial fire on Tianshan Mountain, you can start a furnace and forge swords?"

Li Ye looked at the two of them and smiled: "I can give you two pairs of scissors by the way!"

Xia Wutong was stunned, looked at him and said with a smile: "Do you still remember what happened that year? That time my junior brother was too stingy and just gave me and my master a pair of small scissors."

Li Ye kept smiling and said: "The materials this time are different from those that year."

This tone is like an old man asking a child if his old toy is no longer fun and he wants to get a new one. After all, it is only the child who is interested.

Nangong Ruyu came over and held his hand and said: "Master has never made a sword for Yu'er, so let's make a pair of small scissors."

After brewing in his heart for a long time, Xia Wutong smiled and said, "Junior brother, I like everything you give me."

"Master, as long as it is something you give me, Yu'er likes it." Nangong Ruyu repeated.

Li Ye was stunned, looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Xia Wutong and Nangong Ruyu both shook their heads: "It's not a pig!"

Li Ye laughed now, looked at the two of them and said, "Since you are not hungry and all the meat has been dried, it will probably take a few days, so I will teach you how to play the piano."

Then he took out the iron piano completely.

...

Deep in the deep and quiet Dragon Island in the North Sea, in the room where the most powerful person in Dragon Island is located, the incense in the tripod gradually dissipates, leaving only a faint fragrance. The autumn sun from the west shines in outside the door.

The room is paved with blue stone tiles, and there is a pot of tea boiling on the table. Four people are sitting at the table, and they are chatting under the scent of tea.

The owner of Dragon Island, Duanmu Qingkong, was wearing a casual suit of aquamarine silk, with a dragon-coiled gold ribbon tied around his waist. His black hair was tied tightly, and there were a few strands of silver at the temples.

He just sat casually on the chair, his eldest son Duanmu Feilongyuan sat aside with a frown, and his youngest daughter Duanmu Ruolan was boiling water and making tea.

Sitting next to him was Huangfu Nantian, who had come from Beixuan Territory. He was holding a cup of hot tea and looking at the three people in front of him.

"I didn't expect you to come here just for the Mid-Autumn Festival." Duanmu Qingkong looked at Huangfu Nantian and said calmly: "That's fine, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Huangfu Nantian stood up, bowed respectfully, and said quickly: "My subordinates are loyal to their masters. In order to achieve great things, how dare they care about their own small things."

Duanmu Feilong, who was sitting aside, suddenly asked loudly: "May I ask Mr. Huangfu, who leaked the news to the imperial advisors of the later dynasty about our last return to Qingzhou? The sky is high there and the emperor is far away. How did the dynasty know where we were going?

?”

The corners of Duanmu Qingkong's lips curled up inexplicably, but Huangfu Nantian didn't notice.

Duanmu Qingning said calmly: "Since the attack on the Qingzhou garrison, such a murderous crime has unexpectedly occurred at the junction of the Central Region and the West Xuan Region. Our Dragon Island has suffered heavy losses. I hope His Highness the Prince can give us an explanation."

Huangfu Nantian looked at the father and son, frowned and said: "The Nangong family is involved in the Qingzhou incident. It's just because the Wang family in Qingzhou went too far and provoked their family in Buddha City to find the national master to take action."

After a pause, he continued: "As for what happened next, it was our mistake. It turned out that Empress Dowager Jiang was at the level of Nine Tribulations. This is probably rare to find in the Five Realms."

Duanmu Qingkong sternly reprimanded: "Sir Huangfu, because of your investigation errors, we have lost a lot of experts. You must give us an explanation for this matter, right?"

"My master means that I owe you this in advance!" After a slight pause, Huangfu Nantian softened his tone and said, "After that matter is settled, my master will naturally give you an explanation."

"After all, we have to give us an explanation for this matter." Duanmu Feilong said coldly.

"That's natural. After everything is settled, what kind of explanation is not a matter of one sentence?" Huangfu Nantian was not a light-hearted person, and he had an attitude of not giving in.

"In this case, let's take a longer view." Duanmu Qingkong sighed: "Maybe everything is fate."

It seems that this sentence involves some privacy, and for a while, several people in the room fell silent in a tacit understanding.

Duanmu Qingkong suddenly said: "We have spent countless manpower and material resources on these grassland war horses, and so far less than fifty have been transported. How can this be enough?"

Huangfu Nantian looked at him and said: "There is nothing we can do about this matter. After all, you are only in charge of the Beixuan Territory. The emperor also put all the war horses in the imperial city. Even Zhuge Ming of the East Xuan Territory wanted them, but it is said that he didn't give them to them.

"

Duanmu Qingkong responded: "It seems that he has become a frightened bird and frightened us."

"Father, this seems to be a good thing. They are guarding against us, which means they are afraid and dare not make trouble with us." Duanmu Feilong sat nearby and laughed proudly.

Duanmu Qingkong shook his head and his tone became calmer: "We have already paid too much for this matter. We should be more careful in the future. We don't have many people who can die!"

"My child doesn't dare. We will consider it only when we are well prepared in the future... we won't be as rash as before."

Duanmu Feilong was startled and quickly replied carefully.

Duanmu Qingkong lowered his head, seeming to be thinking about something, looked at Duanmu Ruolan and asked: "Ruolan, it is said that you have done some research on Tianshan Mountain. This time, the imperial master went in. I don't know if he can come out or when.

come out?"

"Tianshan? That is a restricted area that has never been able to get out. I can't understand that he actually got into it in such a messy situation." Duanmu Ruolan, who was sitting aside, responded slowly.

Huangfu seemed to be a little moved now, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing. If he hangs inside, or stays in the mountains for three to five years, wouldn't this be a good thing for us?"

"I don't think it's that simple. Since he dares to go in, he should at least be somewhat sure. I don't doubt whether he can come out. I just wonder how long it will take to come out."

Duanmu Ruolan quietly added tea to the three of them and said quietly.

"Lan'er's analysis makes sense. If that kid hadn't lost his mind, how could he easily go to Tianshan to die?"

Duanmu Qingkong laughed and looked at Duanmu Ruolan with satisfaction.

Duanmu Feilong, who was sitting aside, smiled and said: "We can't underestimate that guy. When we led the army to the imperial city, he just sent a general, took some cattle and sheep, and spent some gold coins to kill us.

Wan Dajun has been sent back."

Duanmu Ruolan thought for a while and said seriously: "In this case, we really need to plan carefully and make careful considerations. We can no longer act rashly."

"Haha, you brothers and sisters can make a good plan this time. If that kid goes in, he won't be able to come out for at least three years. As long as we finish that thing within three years, everything will be over."

Duanmu Qingkong looked at the three of them and said with a smile.

"Looking back now, the imperial advisor is really out of his mind. He missed such a good opportunity. We can't even think about it."

Huangfu Nantian looked at the three of them and nodded.

Duanmu Qingkong sighed and murmured: "In order to fulfill the ancestor's wish, even if it costs more, it is still worth it."

Huangfu Nantian was silent for a while, looked at him and said: "Our master means the same as the island owner. As long as the matter is done well, even if it costs more, it will be worth it."

Duanmu Qingkong interrupted him, looked at him and said, "Besides this matter, do you have anything else to do when you come here this time?"

Huangfu Nantian looked at the three of them and said softly: Sir, I would like to ask for some elixirs for the people under my sect, so that we can have more manpower at our disposal, which will be good for everyone."

Duanmu Qingkong thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is not difficult, come back to me when you leave."
