Chapter 1825: Knocking chess pieces and falling into pieces
Li Yan stared directly at the sky. He had just stopped practicing not long ago. He looked at the clouds rolling in the sky and the geese flying high.
Then he felt the gentle breeze occasionally blowing from the lake, and the fresh smell of the surrounding grass lingered on the tip of his nose. The pure land emerged in his mind, and he remembered a long, long time ago...
It seemed like a dream, a dream that was too far away. When I was a teenager, I would often go to the hillside outside the village with my fourth sister.
When he was tired from work, he would lie on the grass slope with grass in his mouth, looking at the sky, imagining that in the future he would become like Uncle Guo Xin, the most powerful hunter in the village...
But the fourth sister will be not far away, humming a nice slang ditty, still like a cheerful bird, constantly harvesting some green grass!
Then, from time to time, some grass would be bundled neatly with hands and feet. At noon or evening, Li Yan would be responsible for picking the grass home.
At that time, along the way, the fourth sister would jump happily, occasionally waving the sickle in her hand, and the two pigtails on her head would shake up and down, and her silver bell-like laughter would echo between heaven and earth...
Li Yan looked at the sky. In the blue sky, Li Yan saw several vaguely familiar faces, but those faces had begun to blur.
Even though he was an immortal cultivator, some memories began to become unclear because there were some people or things that he deliberately stopped thinking about for a period of time.
"Fourth sister, third brother, father... mother..."
Although Li Yan still had grass in his mouth, his eyes gradually began to blur. He had not felt so relaxed for a long time.
Therefore, he would probably not spend very long practicing here, but he liked to watch and feel the changes in his state of mind.
Being plotted by others all day long, or plotting to kill others, seems to have become something he often thinks about now. Life is no longer so awe-inspiring in his eyes.
The memories that had kept him simple had been buried deep in his heart long after he finally decided not to go to the small mountain village again.
Recalling those past events would only make him regretful. He himself had never thought that the trip to the mountain village during the foundation building would become his last warmth!
A trip to the mountain village has since become a swan song of yin and yang. This is a huge blow to Li Yan after he returns from the devil world...
Li Yan maintained this posture, lying on the green grass on the slope. To outsiders, he looked rare and leisurely.
But no one could see him. His eyes were staring at the sky, which was already blurry...
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yan slowly sat up, spit out the grass in his mouth, and walked towards the lake below.
He splashed a handful of water on his face, and the coolness immediately refreshed Li Yan. This was something he would often do after encountering a mountain stream while hunting in Daqing Mountain.
That would immediately wipe away the fatigue caused by chasing prey, and his whole body would return to the domineering and domineering appearance of a young man.
Li Yan stood up, wiped his face, and shook the water on his hand. When he looked back towards the hillside, he saw Bai Rou standing there quietly.
The woman is as light as water, her white skirt is fluttering gently, and she is looking at herself with a smile.
"Junior brother, let's go!"
Bai Rou's voice came from above. Her voice was not loud, but it was floating in the morning wind...
While Bai Rou said this, she glanced around with her beautiful eyes. She knew she was leaving here. She also had too many things to do.
Nowadays, Li Yan has reached the Void Refining Realm. If she wants to improve quickly, she will of course have to rely on the resources of the Demon Sect.
Li Yan just swayed, and the next moment he was in front of Bai Rou, and then stood side by side with Bai Rou, and then looked at the lake in front of him.
Feeling the breath of the man beside her, Bai Rou's heart beat faster again, but the expression on her face had not changed much.
"This is a good place for spiritual cultivation. Let's rearrange the teleportation array to see if we can keep it..."
Li Yan also smiled and nodded. It was time to leave, but before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly. He turned around slightly, and Bai Rou also turned around.
At this time, in front of the gate of the fenced compound on the slope, a little head was quietly poking out. When he noticed the two people on the grass down the slope and suddenly turned his head to look over, the little head suddenly retracted.
After Li Yan saw it, and thought about what he wanted to say just now, his eyes flickered several times in succession, and then his voice came out.
"Little guy, come here, please?"
His voice was not very high, but it was extremely clear. Bai Rou didn't make a sound. Although she didn't know what Li Yan was going to do?
But it was obvious that she didn't want to kill it. She knew that the other party also understood what the two of them had just said. Just after Li Yan finished speaking, the little head that had shrunk into the door was revealed again.
It was a fiery red fox head, and its eyes were clearly full of hesitation, but in the next moment, its entire figure flashed out.
Then, it cautiously walked towards the two people down the hillside. At this time, the injuries on the back and neck of the red fox had fully recovered.
It's just that the newly grown fiery red hair is lower than the rest of the body and still looks very sparse.
Under that elixir, its injuries had long since healed. At the same time, it was strange that it had not felt any hunger for such a long time.
So these days, it would occasionally go outside the courtyard, but the furthest it went was only near the lake. It could sense that deep in the vast forest, there was a presence that frightened it.
But this pair of men and women sit on the grass slope in front of the lake every day for a long, long time, so it will look at the backs of the two people from a distance.
It seems that as long as these two people exist, the beings in the forest that scare him will not dare to approach here at all, and this is indeed the case.
Those two people seem to contain boundless power. With just a wave of their hands, the other person can easily kill him...
Looking at the fiery red fox getting closer and closer, Li Yan did not urge him.
Instead, it wasn't until the other party stopped about a few feet away from them and looked at the two of them in awe that Li Yan nodded.
"Well, little guy, you have seized the opportunity. Now that you have some intelligence and can sense whether we have murderous intentions and are still cowering, even if I won't kill you.
But I will also expel you from this compound later and put you into the forests ahead.
As for your life and death later on, it all depends on your luck. We are here only because of you. Saving your life is actually worth it."
Li Yan still said softly that he had just planned to cover up the courtyard behind him, so naturally he could not allow this beast to exist in it.
After hearing Li Yan's words, Bai Rou's beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up. She completely understood what Li Yan meant.
The little flaming red fox was confused, but he understood the words to put it into the forest. He couldn't help but tuck his tail, and all his flaming red hair instantly stuck to his body.
Suddenly, an impulse arose in its heart to escape back to the fenced compound immediately, but if the other person was in front of it, it felt that it would be of some benefit to itself.
Still suppressing the panic in his heart, he let out a whimper, lowered his head, and when his ears were pressed down, he half raised his face and looked forward in a flattering manner.
"If you can come here, then I will give you an opportunity. As for the final step you can reach, that is your own destiny.
I will check your spiritual roots first, and then open up your spiritual wisdom, and you will understand all this later!"
While Li Yan was speaking, he gently stretched out a finger and tapped it towards the fiery red fox.
In the frightened eyes of the red fox, it saw a flash of green light, which quickly enlarged in its eyes, and then... it completely lost consciousness!
When the little fiery red fox woke up, it just turned its eyes slightly and found itself lying in a familiar courtyard.
In front of it, there were two people looking at it. The moment it saw their faces clearly, it suddenly became excited and jumped up.
The moment it woke up, it clearly remembered the time when the man suddenly stretched out a finger towards itself, and there was a flash of green light on the fingertip, and then it was here.
"What did he do to me?"
This clear reaction immediately appeared in the little fiery red fox's consciousness.
"What? Can you feel that your consciousness is different?"
Just as the red fox subconsciously turned over and jumped up, the man's voice came over again.
At the same time, another voice suddenly intertwined in the little flaming fox's consciousness.
"Next, I will say some words. You should remember them carefully. The more you remember, the better it will be for you, so that you can have more ability to save your own life!"
But this voice is the same as the voice heard in my ears now, those words that were still unclear and somewhat unclear before.
At this moment, after the voice entered its mind, it understood a lot in an instant, so the little fox's body froze, and then fell heavily to the ground.
But it seemed completely unaware of the pain, staring blankly at the two people standing in front of it, while Li Yan and Bai Rou were also watching its actions.
They were also judging each other's level of spiritual intelligence. After a few breaths, Bai Rou showed a faint smile in his eyes.
The dull look on the little fiery red fox's face faded, but suddenly he bent his two forelimbs and knelt down towards her and Li Yan.
At the same time, it made a "squeaking" sound in its mouth, but there was obviously excitement in its eyes.
"It seems that you have understood what will happen next, but I have something to say. You can accept this gift, but it is just an opportunity for you. You and I will not have any inheritance. You must keep this in mind.
.
There is a set of cultivation methods for demon cultivators. I will put it into your sea of consciousness. There will also be some pills here later, but they will be imprisoned together with this courtyard.
With your current weak strength, the elixirs are given to you for safekeeping. Whether you go back to the valley where you came from or stay here, you cannot protect these elixirs.
Outside the valley, it is estimated that since the goshawk has discovered you and is not sure to kill you, it will often patrol that area of the sky.
But I can't help you kill it. You should want to kill it yourself, which will make you feel more enlightened in the future.
You can't understand this yet, but just do it according to your heart.
There are too many more powerful beasts here. After we leave, just the smell of the elixir will make them crazily try to break into this place, which is enough to kill you thousands of times.
Therefore, before you succeed in practicing, you must be sealed here together with the elixirs, so that the breath of the elixirs cannot spread out. You can also practice through these elixirs.
When your cultivation reaches the second level, you will be able to freely enter and leave here through the method I left in your sea of consciousness, do you understand?"
Li Yan said softly, and after hearing this, the little fiery red fox nodded repeatedly.
Through this period of time, Li Yan saw that Senior Sister Bai liked this place very much, and the environment here actually purified Li Yan's mood.
This allowed Li Yan to remove most of the murderous intentions that had accumulated in his heart over the years, and his thoughts became clearer.
Since it was difficult for outsiders to enter here, he simply sealed it and covered up the teleportation arrays at both ends.
But when he saw the little fox, he thought that since this little beast also had intelligence, it was the other party who discovered this place.
Then if it can grow up, it can protect this place. However, if the little fox is killed by someone one day, there will be nothing to say.
As for this place, it doesn't matter whether I or Senior Sister Bai will come here in the future. It's like the secret realm of Uncle Qianzhong in the lower world.
Even if he doesn't use it, he doesn't want to leave it to others to enter at will. This is the selfish idea of many monks.
Although Li Yan is not a demon cultivator, he has read too many classics and exercises. Of course, he has memorized many of the more common demon cultivators.
It's just that after he explored the little fox's spiritual root before, he found that although he also had a fox clan skill in his hand, it was a special ice skill and was not suitable for him.
The little fox's spiritual root attribute was beyond Li Yan's expectation. It turned out to be a very rare heavenly spirit root, which belongs to the dual system of fire and gold.
This made Li Yan and Bai Rou very surprised after repeated confirmation, but neither of them had any intention of accepting a demon cultivator as their disciple.
Li Yan said that it was because the sect was too special and he himself did not know how to establish a sect, so naturally he was unwilling to accept disciples outside of the Five Elements.
But Bai Rou feels that her strength is too low and she needs more time to practice. Currently, Li Zhaoyan is enough.
After Li Yan thought about it for a while, he chose a technique that was good at Yang Huo Lie and belonged to the "Eight Paths Wolf" clan.
"After you succeed in cultivation, you are not allowed to kill all the wild beasts here. You only need to take good care of this place. This is also my last request to you.
Otherwise, many of the resources here will slowly disappear in the future. You can also make them become monsters, but you need to control their level growth..."
Li Yan gave the little fox an order again, and the fiery red fox kept nodding its little head...
A few days later, Li Yan and Bai Rou stepped on the "Cloud Piercer" again and flew away quickly in the air.
In the past few days, the two of them have rearranged the formations at both ends. Now, even if another monk enters the crevices of the valley and mountains, it will be difficult to find the "Broken Star Formation" again.
Regarding this place, both Li Yan and Bai Rou know that they are just passers-by and may never come again in the future.
But what cultivators pay attention to is to do things according to one's own spontaneity. If one feels like doing it, then just do it.
…………
Runyufang City is a large-scale city. The city is controlled by a second-rate sect and covers an area of more than a hundred miles.
With the scale of a city like this, within a radius of 100,000 miles, it can be considered a very large city.
Guan Junyi and Guan Manzheng were standing in front of their temporary stalls, which had some puppets placed on them. Some of these puppets were as big as an adult's hand, while the smaller ones were only as big as a finger.
The shape of the puppets on the stall did not look very exquisite, and there were only a dozen or so in number.
Guan Junyi and Guan Man are both only fifteen or sixteen years old, and one of them is in the late stage of foundation building and the other is in the middle stage of foundation building.
Guan Junyi looks very fair. Although he is not handsome, he has a clear face, slender limbs, and very smart eyes. He looks very smart at first glance.
Guan Man, on the other hand, has a face as fair as a melon seed, already tall and slim, and wears a long emerald green dress, which makes her full of youthful atmosphere.
There is no shortage of small stalls like theirs in every market, and there are often many people setting up stalls.
