Li Mingyue actually still doesn't understand. If it is really his master's plan, what is the significance of this plan? Is it just to help a dragon that is expected to transform into a dragon to walk into the river and sea?
He didn't think that the old guy was such a good person. If there was no benefit, he would never help others for no reason, let alone an alien.
Of course, Li Mingyue is not the kind of person who tries to get into trouble, at least not when it comes to things that are hard to figure out. If you can't figure it out, then just don't think about it. Anyway, the truth will come out one day.
So he took out a yellowed book and began to read in a low voice.
The most important thing at the moment is your own practice. It would be good to make more progress before the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting.
As for the physical problems, there is no solution at all now, and there is no point in rushing. It is better to calm down, read a book, and look at the scenery.
Originally, Li Mingyue planned to find an opportunity to leave secretly. These people didn't welcome him anyway, so there was no need to stay and watch people's faces, especially that little girl. Who knows if she might cause any trouble.
Coupled with the previous incident at Mao'er Mountain, Li Mingyue was worried that Jin Yan Palace would not give up. The goals of so many people were too big. If they came to Jin Yan Palace again, it would be a big trouble.
But these people actually wanted to go to Taihua Sect to join in the excitement of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association, and there was no other way to go to Taihua Sect for the time being, so they had no choice but to continue walking together.
When resting, Li Mingyue took out a book and read aloud. While walking, he practiced breathing and exhaling. He also had to guard against whether the little ghost would come out and scare people. The walk was not easy.
That night, everyone entered a small town. The atmosphere here was obviously much better than that in the south. It seemed that it was not affected by the war. However, due to the influx of a large number of people from the south, the whole town seemed a bit crowded and chaotic.
Where there are a lot of people, there is always a lot of trouble. In addition, the city is now a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and there are endless robbers and thieves. There will always be incidents of theft and robbery.
What makes the local government even more troublesome is that the people who do these things are not all thieves, but also many ordinary people, and there have even been several riots.
In fact, this was something to be expected. The war was chaotic and many people had trouble even eating. In order to survive, they had no choice but to fight, steal, rob, or even rebel.
Fortunately, although there are many people in the city, most of them can't even afford food and are waiting for government relief every day, let alone having money to stay in a hotel. Therefore, most of the inns in the city are actually empty.
Most of the people in Li Mingyue's group have pretty good families. Although there are a few people in the world, they still don't lack the money to afford a top-notch hotel. If you really compare it, Li Mingyue is probably the poorest one. Otherwise, he wouldn't be worried about the rent.
Hesitated for a long time.
Along the way, Li Mingyue stayed in hotels not many times, but not too few times. Moreover, he and his master had been here before, and the cost of staying in hotels was not as expensive as it is now.
After handing over the two taels of silver, Li Mingyue was heartbroken and bleeding, but she had no choice but to do so. The current situation is like this. If you don't live in it, someone will live in it.
During the meal, Li Mingyue still shared the same table with the old Taoist, the other Jianghu people shared the same table, and the little girl's family shared two tables. After all, there was a gap between master and servant.
After Li Mingyue sat down, she looked around and found that the little devil and the four-legged snake were not found, so she felt relieved and started to deal with the food on the table.
This was all obtained with free money. Normally, it would have been enough for Li Mingyue to eat for ten days and a half. Coupled with the rush during this period, he had indeed not had a full meal for a long time.
Not to mention such a sumptuous table.
Except for their group, there were not many guests in the inn. At this moment, the table next to Li Mingyue began to talk.
A man took off his bamboo hat, put it next to the table, patted the mud on his body, and complained: "These bastards from the Five Kingdoms, they will fight sooner or later. It's almost the New Year. I can't even think about the New Year."
"
An older man sighed and said: "We are fine here. I heard that people are dying every day in the south, and the land in Lanzhou has turned red."
"What a heck! Just yesterday, a group of bandits from the south broke into the Yamen. I heard that all the county magistrates were killed. A new county magistrate was just sent down. I heard that he was a general before, and he was also sent here.
We have picked up two elites, and looking at this posture, the five countries will probably attack here soon." The last person said, while pouring a large bowl of water, and drank it all.
At this time, there were several men and women sitting nearby, and a woman with a sword on the table in front of her asked: "If the Five Kingdoms really come to attack, will the Taihua Sect's Ten Thousand Immortals Association still be able to handle it?"
One man said: "The fight at the foot of the mountain has no effect on the gods on the mountain, so it will naturally not affect the Ten Thousand Immortals Association."
Someone else shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. I've heard that this time the Five Kingdoms not only sent out troops, but also invited some gods from the mountains. On the surface, it was under the banner of participating in the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting. In fact, secretly
It has other purposes."
Suddenly someone became interested and asked: "What is the purpose?"
The speaker glanced at the other people in the inn and said: "I heard that the son of a great general from the Yan Kingdom entered Lanzhou and was killed by a young monk from our Tang Kingdom. Those monks from the Five Kingdoms were targeting that young monk.
Come."
Everyone was stunned, and then the atmosphere in the entire inn suddenly became a little heated.
"Really or not?"
"You deserve it. How can we, the Tang Dynasty, allow the other five countries to set foot on our territory?"
"..."
All kinds of words came and went.
Li Mingyue's face was gloomy. He really didn't expect that things would develop to this point, let alone that the Yan Kingdom would send monks to seek revenge on him.
It seemed that this Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting was more troublesome than he thought.
For some reason, Li Mingyue really hoped that the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting could not be held. Li Mingyue really didn't care about becoming famous. If it hadn't been for Senior Sister's orders, he would never have come so far to take a trip into this muddy water.
Probably sensing something strange about Li Mingyue, the old Taoist asked: "What's wrong?"
Li Mingyue came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "It's okay."
As he continued to eat, the old Taoist didn't think much and continued to immerse himself in the meal.
It’s a big deal, let’s talk about it after you’re full.
Soon the lights were lit in the inn, and after Li Mingyue had eaten, she went directly back to her room, not only because she was afraid that the little girl would cause trouble for him, but also because she was afraid of being recognized by the monks from the Five Kingdoms.
After returning to the room, Li Mingyue took out the bell and continued to raise the sword according to the method given by the woman in the bell.
Nothing happened all night until dawn.
The next morning, Li Mingyue got up very early and sat on the bed to practice the Confucian Qi training method. However, soon there was a loud noise outside. It sounded like the government was going to inspect the guests in the inn to determine their identities.
Prevent the infiltration of spies from the five countries.
Then the innkeeper knocked on the door and woke everyone up.
It was a cold day, coupled with the chaos of war, it was hard to get a good night's sleep, but when someone woke me up, everyone was a little angry.
But the government was halfway through the investigation and didn't know what happened, so they suddenly left, leaving everyone in the inn. Everyone became even more angry, so they had no choice but to vent their anger on the innkeeper.
This is where the noise comes from.
Compared to the anger of others, Li Mingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he really wanted to find out, he could only tell the truth. It was not that the disciples of Qingyuan Mountain were shady, but that Li Mingyue's identity, once it was known to the government, would still be punished.
I don't know what trouble it will cause.
Perhaps they thought it was unsafe here, so no one had any intention of staying in the town. After having breakfast, they continued on their way.
In this way, the little girl's anger for being woken up was all blamed on Li Mingyue. There was nothing they could do about it, only Li Mingyue seemed to be easy to bully among this group of people.
She also changed her names for Li Mingyue again and again, such as "poor guy", "consumption guy", "coward", whenever she thought of something more unpleasant, she would just slap it on Li Mingyue's head.
Li Mingyue turned a deaf ear to this, which made the little girl even more angry. She felt that Li Mingyue had ignored her and that she had been greatly insulted, so her words became more and more vicious.
Not to mention Li Mingyue, even the Jianghu and veteran Taoists couldn't bear to listen, but the elder of the little girl didn't say a word and allowed the little ancestor to vent.
Several times, Li Mingyue wanted to give this little girl a big mouth, but in the end she endured it.
If you are as knowledgeable as a little girl in a movie, all these years of practice will be in vain.
Li Mingyue just found it a bit difficult to understand. This family seemed to be a wealthy family, and the children they raised should not be so unruly and willful even if they were not ladies.
This kind of character will definitely cause trouble in the future, like now. Fortunately, it was them who they met. If it were anyone else, they would have gone violent and killed people. You must know that the monks on the mountain have always regarded the ordinary people below the mountain as ants.
There have been many cases of people directly killing people due to disagreements.
Of course, the world is huge and full of wonders, and the people at the foot of the mountain are not what Li Mingyue imagined. These people have nothing to do with him. He can tolerate it if he can, and he can do whatever he can if he can't tolerate it.
"Poor man, give me the bell on your waist." The little girl seemed to know how to scold Li Mingyue. This guy couldn't even fart. He happened to see the bell on Li Mingyue's waist and liked it very much.
Unexpectedly, Li Mingyue seemed to have heard nothing and kept walking forward.
Because of what happened in Mao'er Mountain, the little girl didn't have a good impression of the rosy young man. At this moment, the young man seemed to feel that an opportunity had come, and immediately stood in front of Li Mingyue and said in a cold voice: "My lady is talking to you, are you deaf?
"
Blocked by him, Li Mingyue could only stop and frown: "First, I am not deaf. Second, I have a name. My name is Li Mingyue."
The young man snorted coldly: "I don't care what your name is, hand over the bell."
Li Mingyue shook her head and said, "This is mine, why should I give it to you?"
Li Mingyue's sudden toughness not only did not annoy the little girl, but instead she became interested and said, "Well, I'll buy it from you. Just tell me how much it will cost."
Li Mingyue shook her head again: "I won't sell it for any amount of money."
After saying that, he walked around the young man carrying the sword and moved on.
As a result, the little girl was not happy and said coldly: "Stop!"
Li Mingyue really stopped, but there was murderous intent in his eyes.
"There is nothing I can't get what I want. If you don't sell it, I will... I will kill you."
