On an official road to the south, Li Mingyue took his apprentice Wan Xiaoyun. He did not speak, but was thinking about something.
The young grandmaster of the Jingyuan Sect suddenly made a move, which could be said to have caught Li Mingyue off guard, which directly disrupted many of his plans. This was also the reason why he chose to go south. After all, he did not want to directly confront the Jingyuan Sect yet.
Secondly, although Yang Ping gave a lot of information about the spiritual treasure, it was not as clear as Liu Hexi's. Therefore, the dragon claw Liu Hexi mentioned was Li Mingyue's first target. If he could get it,
By then, I will have three treasures containing the power of dragon essence, which can support the woman in the bell to take three shots, which should be enough to deal with many threats.
What Li Mingyue is worried about now is whether Jingyuan Sect will take action against Liu Hexi and Yang Ping? If Jingyuan Sect really wants to settle this account on these two people, it will be impossible to resist them based on the power behind them.
In addition to thinking about these, Li Mingyue couldn't help but think about the previous battle.
After the opponent took out those talismans, Li Mingyue was really helpless. Later, after being reminded by the woman in the bell, he borrowed a sword to block the space. That was the only way he could win at that time, but the premise was that the opponent would not use all his strength to fight with him. So he
Only then did he inject sword energy into those long swords and make a stance to take action, forcing the young master of Jingyuan Sect to use the talisman, and then took the initiative. This is also why the long swords that were originally injected with sword energy after the opponent used the talisman.
The reason why it fell directly was because Li Mingyue didn't have any extra energy to care about those swords at that time. Instead, she poured all her power into the two swords of gods and demons to give the opponent a fatal blow.
But what Li Mingyue didn't expect was that even though he had taken the initiative, sensed the opponent's movements in advance, and delivered a fatal blow, the last thunder method used by the opponent still caused heavy damage to him. If it hadn't been for
The Chaos Clock has removed most of its power. He may still be able to kill the opponent, but he will inevitably end up in ashes.
A small master of the Jingyuan Sect is already so difficult to deal with, not to mention that there are so many great masters of the Jingyuan Sect, and there is also Yang Xi, the number one Taoist.
After this battle, Li Mingyue realized more and more clearly his own shortcomings and weaknesses. Without the existence of the woman in the bell, not to mention those Taoist great masters, even the powerful little masters could easily kill him.
Li Mingyue exhaled a breath.
It seems that we will have to practice even harder in the future, and we cannot underestimate these figures who came from the six major ancestral families of Taoism. Whether it was Qin Gang before or the current little grandmaster of Jingyuan Sect, they have all profoundly proved that they are strong masters.
of strength.
Therefore, it is imperative for Li Mingyue to enter the Grandmaster level.
However, although this battle caused him to suffer heavy losses, the gains were not small. Just as the woman in the bell said, in his current situation, it is difficult for him to enter the Tianyuan realm through normal practice. After the previous battle, he forcibly fused the three
The teaching method really stabilized his realm at the Tianyuan realm. Although after removing the secret method taught by the woman, his realm dropped all the way to the early Tianyuan realm, but he did not directly return to the Earthly realm.
The barrier between the Earth Yuan Realm and the Tian Yuan Realm was actually quietly broken down in that battle.
Of course, this has also caused quite a few problems, including the emptiness of the sudden improvement in realm, the severe damage to the body, and the backlash after forcibly integrating the three teachings. These are all urgent problems that must be solved as soon as possible. So now he
His top priority is to quickly find a place to suppress the condition of his body, and then stabilize it. Only by solving these problems can he truly enter the Tianyuan realm. Otherwise, he can do it himself without waiting for others to take action.
die.
Wan Xiaoyun asked at this time: "Master, is the Jingyuan Sect very powerful?"
Li Mingyue nodded and said: "He should be the most difficult one to deal with among your master's enemies."
Wan Xiaoyun nodded and said: "I will definitely practice hard and face it with Master in the future."
Li Mingyue smiled and nodded, and said softly: "It's good to have ideas, but you still have to let nature take its course in practice. Sometimes you can't force it. If you have too many obsessions in your heart, problems will easily arise during the practice.
It’s what they call obsession. Although your master and I are not good or evil, if there is a deviation in our practice, then there must be something really wrong.”
Wan Xiaoyun nodded and said: "Disciple has written it down."
He then asked: "Then where should we go next?"
Li Mingyue said: "I am seriously injured now. Let's find a place to rest first and recover from the injury before making any plans."
Wan Xiaoyun was stunned and couldn't help but look at Li Mingyue, but unfortunately she still couldn't tell that her master was injured.
Li Mingyue's current situation, not to mention Wan Xiaoyun, even small masters like Liu Hexi and Yang Ping can't see it, and even big masters may not be able to see it, because the situation in his body at the moment,
It can be said that it is chaos to the extreme.
Anything in this world, once it reaches its extreme, is no different from normal, so there are sayings such as "things must be reversed when they are extreme" and "return to nature". Li Mingyue's current situation is somewhat similar.
After the master and apprentice walked along the official road for a while, they walked towards a mountain road, and then walked along the rugged mountain road. At dusk, they saw a river, reflecting the sunset, which was very beautiful.
On both sides of the river, there are high and low buildings, with smoke curling up from the kitchens.
Li Mingyue asked with a smile: "Are you hungry?"
Wan Xiaoyun shook his head and said: "Not yet."
But as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled, and the little guy suddenly looked embarrassed.
Li Mingyue smiled slightly and walked towards the town with Wan Xiaoyun.
Although he is now anxious to deal with his physical condition, this will not happen overnight, so he needs to find a place to settle Wan Xiaoyun first, and then find a quiet place to retreat alone, at least to ensure that no one will disturb him
.
Since it is a retreat, the time required is not a day or two. Wan Xiaoyun is still an ordinary child after all, and it is impossible to suffer this sin with him. The key is that he cannot bear this sin.
So while walking towards the town, Li Mingyue said: "I took a look at the terrain here. It's a good place for healing, so you may have to stay here for a while. It's hard to say how long it will take.
It could be a few days, it could be a few months."
Wan Xiaoyun was stunned.
Li Mingyue didn't explain too much, and continued: "I will be in seclusion for a long time this time, and no one can disturb me. If you follow me, eating and drinking will be a big problem. I will find a better one in the town later."
Restaurant, give them enough money for your living expenses, and let them help take care of you for a while."
Wan Xiaoyun nodded, but he was inexplicably worried, worried that his master would despise him as a burden and leave him behind.
Li Mingyue said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't leave you behind. If I really want to leave you behind, why would I take you with me in the first place? If you are not used to being alone, you can let the monkey stay too. That's just right.
Can protect you."
Wan Xiaoyun said hurriedly: "This disciple doesn't think so."
Li Mingyue smiled and said: "Even if I'm not here, you can't miss your practice. You still have to do your daily homework, but it's best to do it in the dead of night, so as not to be seen by others and cause unnecessary trouble. And that monkey,
And try not to let others see it."
Wan Xiaoyun nodded and said: "Disciple has written it down, master, don't worry."
Li Mingyue nodded, reached out and patted his head, saying nothing.
After the master and apprentice entered the town, Li Mingyue walked around the town to make sure that there was no danger in the town, and then found an inn. Of course, it was not the best, but the kindest. At least it was guaranteed to be trustworthy.
Otherwise, it won't matter for a short time. If it lasts for a long time, problems will inevitably occur.
After Wan Xiaoyun was settled, the master and apprentice sat together and had a meal. Then Li Mingyue gave some more instructions, telling Wan Xiaoyun not to conflict with others and to be patient if anything happened.
Wan Xiaoyun asked: "What if you meet someone who is unreasonable?"
Li Mingyue looked at this apprentice and couldn't help but see his own shadow, and said with a smile: "If that's true, then there's no need to endure it. If you can't beat it, let the monkey take action. If you still can't beat it, then run to the west. I'll be there."
there."
Wan Xiaoyun nodded.
Li Mingyue couldn't help but remember that when he was in Qingyuan Mountain, when he faced the disciples of the Taiqing Sect, he was actually tolerant, but in the end he failed to make the other party restrain themselves, and instead made them worse, so he felt that the losses he had suffered, his own
The apprentice should no longer eat it.
Unknowingly, Li Mingyue found that he started to talk a lot. Just like the old Taoist at the time, he clearly wanted to talk about some big principles, but found that nothing was clear after all the talk, so he just
I feel more and more how difficult it was for the veteran Taoist.
It turns out that being a master to others is really not just about teaching and practicing.
So Wan Xiaoyun didn't notice that after leaving the inn, his master looked up at the night sky and choked up: "Master, I miss you."
The evening breeze blew past my face gently, as if in response. Maybe the old Taoist could only respond in this way.
After Li Mingyue left the inn, she left the town directly and headed west. However, before she had gone far, Li Mingyue's brows knit together tightly.
Opposite him, an old man was walking slowly from west to east, holding a bamboo pole.
This old man looked like a blind man, but he was carrying a big wooden box on his back. Li Mingyue couldn't see the depth of this old man, and couldn't even feel his breath, but he gained enlightenment in the Sword Tomb of Tianjian Mountain
After that, he was extremely sensitive to the existence of swords, so he could sense that there were many swords in the wooden box, and they were of high grade.
In other words, this person is probably a sword cultivator, very powerful
