After three months of stop and go, the senior sister and brother finally returned to Qingyuan Mountain. After that, Li Mingyue stayed in Qingyuan Mountain for another two months. Originally, she wanted to take advantage of this time to take care of Su Qingfeng.
While improving the realm, it is best to completely master the Netherworld Realm. Furthermore, it can also give the woman in the bell more time to recover and improve the security of this trip.
It's a pity that neither the realm nor the woman in the bell turned out as Li Mingyue thought. Because of this, Li Mingyue became more determined to leave Qingyuan Mountain.
If you want to improve your realm, or want to enter the Nether Realm as soon as possible, you can only go to the foot of the mountain to seek opportunities. After all, after this period of experience, comparing the two, you will gain more at the foot of the mountain than on the mountain.
Some.
Moreover, after these months of fierce fighting, the situation at the foot of the mountain has basically calmed down, and the Yan State has not come to cause trouble for him, which makes Li Mingyue feel that the Yan State has probably put aside its grudges.
But this time when she went down the mountain, Li Mingyue didn't bring many things, but a lot of books. As for money... Li Mingyue actually didn't have much money now. All the money she got at the Fairy Treasure Trading Conference had been squandered on the way back.
.
But that little devil and the four-legged snake Li Mingyue must be brought with them. Carrying the four-legged snake is what the woman in the bell means. According to the woman in the bell, this four-legged snake can now have a negative impact on her.
Secondly, as Su Qingfeng said, some things that are inconvenient for Li Mingyue to do can be done by him.
This little devil does it.
Su Qingfeng sent Li Mingyue to the mountain temple, and then handed Li Mingyue a bag containing some talismans and some teachings about talismans.
On the mountain road, Li Mingyue was wearing a brand new Taoist robe, carrying a suitcase on his back, and left Qingyuan Mountain again.
This year, the boy is sixteen.

Weizhou.
It is also a land of three states, and like Lanzhou, it borders the five southwest countries. However, Weizhou has not suffered from war. This is related to Weizhou's unique geographical location.
To enter Weizhou, you can go west from Lanzhou or south from Jinzhou. However, the Five Kingdoms cannot enter, because between the Five Kingdoms and Weizhou is the Zhouxi Mountains like a natural chasm. It is said that there is a miasma in the mountains.
It's diffuse, and birds can't get in.
The Zhouxi Mountains not only blocked the Five Kingdoms, but also blocked the Demon Land. Precisely because of the existence of the Zhou Mountains, it became a natural barrier for the Tang State. If the Five Kingdoms wanted to invade, they could only enter Lanzhou from the Chu State. The Demon Land wanted to enter the Tang State.
, we can only pass through Qi State first, and then enter Jinzhou.
In other words, the Tang State only needed to defend Jinzhou and Lanzhou, and the entire southwest border would be safe.
As for Weizhou, there is Jinzhou in the north, Lanzhou in the south, and the Xishan Mountains in the west. Even if foreign enemies really enter Lanzhou or Jinzhou, they will not plot against Weizhou because the entire Weizhou has no strategic significance at all.
However, Weizhou was extremely important to the Tang State. Because of its special geographical location, it was an excellent place to raise troops and store grain and grass. Therefore, almost all the troops in the southwest were located here.
At this moment, in a restaurant in Weizhou City, several Jianghu people were discussing loudly. What they were discussing was the most anticipated Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting in the Three States.
When talking about this year's Ten Thousand Immortals Association, it is natural to talk about the two disciples of Qingyuan Mountain and Qingyuan Mountain, and the one who is most talked about is the woman in black.
A man took a sip of wine, looked around, and said in a low voice: "What you are talking about are all rumors, half true and half false. Let me tell you something sensitive."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested. A dark-skinned female hero asked: "What's so sensitive? Are there any other rumors?"
The man who spoke had an arrogant look on his face and continued: "This is definitely a rumor. It was said by my distant cousin who is serving in the military. I guarantee it is absolutely true."
"Don't talk in circles, just say it quickly."
But the man chuckled and said: "Then the money for today's drink..."
The dark-skinned heroine obviously had a bad temper. She slapped the table and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, hurry up. I'm going to treat you to this meal."
The man laughed and said: "Our female hero Guo is so heroic. Not only does she look like a man, she is more like a man than a man."
The woman surnamed Guo scolded: "Go to hell with your mother."
The man stopped talking in circles and said directly: "Didn't the war in Lanzhou settle down a few days ago? My distant cousin happened to come back from Lanzhou. Just half a month ago, I went to him for a drink and he drank too much.
, and told me some secrets about the imperial court."
Everyone became more interested, but no one asked, but waited patiently.
The man looked around again and determined that there were no customers in the restaurant, only a little Taoist priest and a child. There was also a big traveling bag beside the little Taoist priest. He should be an ordinary Taoist traveling on foot.
He continued: "According to my cousin, the great disaster that Taihua Zong suffered this time was not due to Qingyuan Mountain being offended as rumored, but because of the intervention of the imperial court."
He paused and asked, "Do you know why?"
Everyone shook their heads and asked at the same time: "Why?"
The man continued: "Because Li Mingyue from Qingyuan Mountain has an extraordinary identity. He is most likely a remnant of the previous dynasty. You also know that a major event happened in our Tang Kingdom more than ten years ago."
Everyone nodded at the same time, each one extremely shocked.
Someone said: "Isn't it possible? During the Haojing Incident, except for one princess who managed to survive, didn't everyone in the previous dynasty die?"
The man poured himself a glass of wine and drank it. Then he grabbed a handful of peanuts and put one in his mouth. While chewing, he said vaguely: "That's why it's a secret. The Empress Liang was already in October.
Even if you are pregnant and die in the end, it is hard to say whether the child in your belly is dead or not."
He looked at everyone's stunned expressions and continued: "Now you know why the imperial court intervened, right?"
Everyone shook their heads, but the dark-skinned woman thought: "Could it be that the prince is in the Taihua Sect."
The man shook his head and said: "Of course not, but in Qingyuan Mountain. Let me ask you, what is Li Mingyue's surname? What is the surname of our Tang royal family?"
Everyone was stunned.
The man continued: "So this Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting is actually a collusion between the imperial court and Taihua Zong, just to target Li Mingyue. However, neither the imperial court nor Taihua Zong expected that Su Qingfeng would come down, let alone suddenly kill him.
It took such a powerful woman to put Taihua Sect in the current situation."
It took a while for everyone to calm down, but the dark-skinned woman said: "Let me see, Taihua Zong and the court are blind, where is Qingyuan Mountain, and who is Li Mingyue's master? That is Chen Daoling, the entire
How could the only person who ascended to the immortal world in the past thousand years not leave some wealth to his disciples?"
Everyone nodded along.
The man seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to tell such a secret, and it would most likely lead to death, and it was not impossible to even implicate the nine tribes, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, it's okay for you to know this, don't talk nonsense.
"
The dark-skinned woman smiled and said, "Haha, I still want to live a few more years."
Everyone also nodded.
At the other table, the little Taoist priest just listened, expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything, and drank his wine slowly.
After the group of people had eaten and drank enough, they paid their bills and left the restaurant. They all had red faces and thick necks, and their steps were even more frivolous, so that the huge street was not big enough for them to walk.
After these people left, the little Taoist priest also took out a few coins and put them on the table, then picked up his suitcase and left.
After the few people reached the corner of the street, they separated. Li Mingyue continued to follow the drunken man. When they reached a place where no one was around, they stepped up their steps, deliberately letting the other party find him.
Although this man is not a practitioner, he is still a martial artist and has learned martial arts. In fact, this is also related to the geographical location of Weizhou.
Throughout Weizhou, everyone loves martial arts, because as a native of Weizhou, the only way out is to join the army, fight on the battlefield, and strive for military glory.
The man just frowned at first, but then he seemed to be sure that he was indeed being targeted, so he stopped, adjusted his breathing, and then turned around suddenly.
In the dark of night, in a narrow alley, stood a young Taoist priest in green clothes. He was not very old, he looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was obviously a Taoist priest, but he was carrying a scholar's luggage used to carry books.
Behind the little Taoist priest, there was another little guy who seemed to have just learned to walk, but his little face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. When illuminated by the moonlight, it looked even more scary.
The man gave himself a jolt, and his drunkenness was instantly reduced by seven to eight points, and he became much more sober.
Of course he could recognize that the little Taoist priest was the one from the restaurant earlier, because at that time he looked around twice and saw the little Taoist priest twice, and he had already noted it down.
He pretended to be calm and said in a deep voice: "Boy, following the uncle all the way, what do you want to do?"
As he said this, his voice was a little trembling.
Li Mingyue said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else. I just think that the elder brother is well-informed and I want to ask about some things from the elder brother."
The man narrowed his eyes. He was not stupid. He could naturally understand that what he said in the restaurant earlier had been heard by the little Taoist priest.
In fact, you shouldn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Now that you are sober, you realize that you have caused a big trouble, so there is a trace of murderous intent in your eyes.
Let’s not talk about whether my fair-weather friends are trustworthy or not. This little Taoist priest is a complete outsider. Now that he has heard the forbidden secrets of the Tang royal family, he is a huge threat.
Once this matter gets out and the court conducts a thorough investigation, it will soon be found on him, and then he will definitely be dead.
In order to prevent this from happening, we can only deal with this little Taoist priest who appeared out of nowhere first.
He killed him, so he is not afraid of killing people.
After making up his mind, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he chuckled: "It's easy to talk about. If nothing else, there is nothing in Weizhou city that I, Zhu Asan, don't know about."
As he spoke, he walked towards Li Mingyue and thought to himself: "Boy, I can only blame you for your bad luck and knowing something you shouldn't know."
