Li Mingyue and Su Qingfeng stayed in Guangyang County for almost four days. After his injuries improved, Li Mingyue bought a carriage in the city and acted as the groom himself, all the way south.
Because he was not in a hurry, he walked not very fast. The little devil stayed in the corner of the carriage and did not dare to make a sound. He seemed to be afraid of Su Qingfeng.
Although Su Qingfeng had some sympathy for this little devil, it did not affect her dislike of this kind of existence. On the contrary, she had a much better attitude towards the four-legged snake.
Stopping and going along the way, it took nearly half a month to leave Jinzhou and enter Lanzhou. It must be because of the shock of the woman in the bell. During this half month, I walked quite peacefully and did not encounter any encounters.
What kind of twists and turns are there?
When passing Mao'er Mountain, Li Mingyue heard some news. For example, the Tang army had begun to counterattack, and the current battle situation in Lanzhou was extremely fierce. There was also news about what happened to the Taihua Sect. There was chaos all over the mountain and down the mountain.
Everyone is equally terrified.
When passing Mao'er Mountain, Li Mingyue thought of the so-called Jinyan Palace. According to some stories Li Mingyue heard, Jinyan Palace seemed to have some connection with Chen Daoling. It was because of Chen Daoling's protection that Jinyan Palace could be located in these three states.
After gaining a foothold on the ground, he asked: "Senior sister, do you know Jinyan Palace?"
Su Qingfeng in the carriage opened the curtain and walked out, sat down next to Li Mingyue, and instead of answering Li Mingyue's question directly, asked: "What, you still want to help them?"
Li Mingyue was stunned.
Su Qingfeng continued: "Although Sanqing Temple does not have a clear distinction between good and evil, and does not belong to any family, the devil is still a heretic, so it is better not to be contaminated. The master protected them in the beginning, just for this Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting, but now everything has
It’s a foregone conclusion, even if the mission of Jin Yan Palace is completed, whether they can continue to be based in the Three States is only their business and has nothing to do with us.”
Li Mingyue hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak.
Su Qingfeng seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "There is nothing right or wrong. Many things in this world are like this."
Li Mingyue nodded, and out of curiosity, asked: "If I hadn't practiced and participated in this Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting, would Master have other plans?"
Su Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know. Master has never said anything about these things."
She looked at Li Mingyue and continued: "Besides, it doesn't matter whether you have it or not. You have already made your choice, so there is no good or bad, right or wrong. You don't have to think too much, just keep moving forward.
"
Li Mingyue continued: "Over there in Zhao State..."
He only said half of what he said, and his expression looked a little remorseful. Because of this incident, Su Qingfeng broke his oath and left Qingyuan Mountain. Although Li Mingyue didn't know the specific impact of this incident on Su Qingfeng, he knew that the impact would definitely not be
Small.
Su Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Zhao Guo did do something unnecessary this time. He did something bad with good intentions, but it was a good intention after all, so there should be no purpose. If there is one, it is to make friends with Qingyuan Mountain. As for my matter
, it’s not all bad, at least some things can only be understood after going down the mountain. In the short term, the damage is not small, but in the long term, it is a good thing.”
Li Mingyue looked at Su Qingfeng, unable to tell whether her words were true or false. They might be true, but maybe they were just Su Qingfeng trying to comfort him.
Su Qingfeng continued: "What are you going to do with this little devil?"
Li Mingyue shook her head and said, "I don't know. What suggestions does senior sister have?"
Su Qingfeng shook his head and did not answer immediately. Instead, he said after a while: "Everything has pros and cons. Since you don't have an idea for the time being, just keep it with you. There are some things that are difficult for you to do and inconvenient for you to do. He can do it."
Do it for you."
Li Mingyue nodded and stopped disturbing Su Qingfeng. After all, Su Qingfeng still needed to rest due to his current situation, otherwise these doubts would not remain until now.
After entering Lanzhou, the situation at the foot of the mountain began to become complicated. Not to mention the refugee bandits, sometimes they would encounter small groups of troops, either from the Five Kingdoms or the Tang State. They would either suffer defeat or be defeated by a large army.
The troops were disrupted.
Judging from the current journey, it will take at least two or three months to return to Qingyuan Mountain while avoiding the battlefield. Of course, the specifics will depend on how long the battle lasts.
During this period of time, Li Mingyue has been reviewing the entire situation, but there are many things that he cannot understand at all, and some things are even not directly related at all.
Especially the matter of the Five Kingdoms sending troops, it now seems that it is not at all what Li Mingyue originally guessed. At least this incident did not disturb Hao Jing's mind, or it can be said that the Tang State did not pay attention to the Five Kingdoms at all.
After she really couldn't figure it out, Li Mingyue stopped thinking deeply and attributed it to his master's other plans. Maybe there was some other deeper meaning, or maybe it was his master's mistake. Of course, it could also be aimed at Li Mingyue.
Another option.
Li Mingyue also thought that if he had not chosen to practice, had not chosen to stay in Qingyuan Mountain, and then contacted the five countries to send troops this time, there was no result. After all, without real experience, some things would not be revealed, and naturally they would not be able to be made out of thin air.
Imagine.
After all, although Li Mingyue is not stupid, he is not a master at playing chess. He can't take one step and see three steps, let alone go further.
On this day, Li Mingyue parked the carriage by a river, then took a kettle and went to the river to get some water, and lit a fire. Then he hit the water with his magical power, got some fish, and grilled them on the fire.
It's really because after entering Lanzhou, we were extremely short of food, so we had to rely on mountains and water to eat.
Su Qingfeng also left the carriage and sat by the fire, coughing from time to time. It can be seen that Su Qingfeng's damage this time is indeed not small. In addition, the cold in spring is more terrible than in winter.
The little kid was imitating Li Mingyue, slapping the water crazily, and probably couldn't find a way out. The kid was unwilling to give up, and was trying to compete with the river.
As for the four-legged snake, it was also lined up lazily on a stone, looking at the kid waving its arms by the river as if it were an idiot.
Before the fish was cooked, Li Mingyue frowned, and then a group of gray-faced soldiers approached. After seeing Li Mingyue and the two of them, they actually showed joy.
Su Qingfeng had always been calm, and Li Mingyue didn't show any expression. As for the little devil, he was focused on the river, but the four-legged snake slid down the stone and got under the withered grass.
After this team appeared, they did not directly draw their swords at each other. A man who looked to be in his mid-twenties bowed to the two men with fists in his hands, and then asked: "Looking at the clothes of the two of them, they should be monks from the nearby mountains.
Bar?"
Li Mingyue shook his head and said, "No, I'm just passing by here."
The man nodded and asked, "Do you two know how to get out of this mountain? To be honest, our unit was broken up, and we have been wandering around in this mountain for several days, but we still haven't gotten out.
"
Li Mingyue frowned and said, "Can't I get out just by following the road?"
Unexpectedly, the man said bitterly: "It is indeed true, but we tried it before. We kept walking forward, walking and walking, and returned to the same place."
He glanced left and right, then pointed to a stone nearby and said, "Here, that's the mark we left yesterday morning."
Li Mingyue looked in the direction of his finger and saw a mark carved with a knife on a stone. She couldn't help but frowned again and looked at Su Qingfeng.
Su Qingfeng said: "I'm confused."
Li Mingyue was stunned, looked at the fish in the fire, and quickly turned it over. Feeling a little embarrassed, she asked: "Senior sister, this..."
Su Qingfeng said directly: "It's a blind eye. There should be some kind of spirit living in this mountain. They are bored and teasing people passing by. It won't harm people's lives."
Everyone was stunned, and then they all looked at Su Qingfeng and asked for advice: "Please ask this fairy to point out a clear path."
Su Qingfeng said: "Unless we find this monster, or wait until it has had enough fun, this deception will disappear. If you are not in a hurry, it will be a pity to follow us."
Everyone quickly thanked him.
"Snapped!"
"Crash!"
There was a loud noise, and then water filled the sky, like heavy rain, falling from the sky without warning, instantly drenching everyone, and the fire was directly doused.
Fortunately, Li Mingyue stood in front of Su Qingfeng and Su Qingfeng survived.
By the river, the little devil stood there blankly. He must have known that he had gotten into a big trouble. He lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake and kept rubbing the corners of his clothes.
Li Mingyue shook the wet clothes on her body, stared at the little devil with her eyes, and said angrily: "Get over here."
This kid really held his head, rolled over this way, and then stopped in front of Li Mingyue.
Li Mingyue kicked the little thing out with a strong kick, and kicked it directly into the river.
Li Mingyue was still puzzled and said in a cold voice: "Just keep it inside, and you will come out when we leave."
The soldiers were all dumbfounded, with astonishment on their faces.
On the ground, a carp kept flapping its tail and struggling hard.
Li Mingyue looked at the soldiers and said awkwardly: "I'm really sorry..."
Everyone hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay."
The man who spoke before smiled and said: "I haven't eaten for two days. If the immortal master doesn't mind, these fish..."
Li Mingyue glanced at the fish on the ground, nodded and said, "Of course I don't mind."
So several fires were quickly lit by the river, and the warriors and immortals were grilling fish together. Li Mingyue and Su Qingfeng were fine, but these Tang soldiers would always look at the river from time to time, unavoidably worried about being kicked into the river by Li Mingyue.
child.
But as the smell of fish filled the air, no one cared whether the child was dead or alive.
After eating, Li Mingyue drove the carriage in front, and the soldiers followed behind. Everyone's expressions were much more relaxed, and they were all thankful that they had met two immortals and could finally leave this ghost place.
After everyone left, the kid who had been kicked into the river by Li Mingyue surfaced and followed far behind.
A little red fox emerged from the bushes, staring at the retreating team with a pair of cunning eyes, and then followed.
