Huanglong Valley is located on the southwest side of the Huanggu Mountains, about twenty miles away from Piaoxiang Valley.
In order not to delay the trip, Mo Qingxuan summoned colorful birds, carried Li Nanxing, and arrived here soon.
Entering Huanglong Valley, the two passed through a forest.
At a steep pass, I saw a high platform made of solid wood, with a group of people standing on it.
These people were holding swords, guns, swords and halberds, and looked around, apparently guarding against something.
When Li Nanxing saw it, he couldn't help but said: "Senior sister, why are these people setting up camp at the mouth of the valley? Are they guarding against someone?"
Mo Qingxuan didn't even think about it and replied: "No need to ask, they must be guarding against the people in Shenshou Valley!"
The two continued to move forward, and when they approached the pass, they were stopped by these people.
Mo Qingxuan announced her name and explained her purpose to these people.
After a while, two people came out.
There was a man with a rough appearance, wearing a gray linen robe and holding a tiger-head sword in his hand. Judging from his age, he should be around forty-one or twelve years old.
The other person is a young man.
With sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, he wore a blue brocade dress embroidered with green patterns, and his dark hair was tied up with a purple and gold double dragon pearl crown, with a rare pearl embedded in it.
"It turns out that he is the apprentice of Miracle Doctor Ruan of Piaoxiang Valley. I, Liu Tianyuan, have offended many people just now!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he pointed to the young man in blue beside him and introduced: "This is my eldest brother's apprentice, his name is Han Yi."
Li Nanxing and Li Nanxing nodded to Han Yi as a sign of courtesy, and then said to Liu Tianyuan: "I really have something important to do when I come here to meet Master Liu Valley. I'd like to trouble you to introduce him."
Liu Tianyuan was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. After instructing Han Yihaosheng to guard the pass, he led the two of them into the valley.
When they arrived at Qiyan Pavilion, Liu Tianyuan prepared some tea for the two of them to rest for a while, while he sent someone to inform the Valley Master.
Upon learning that Ruan Xingxian's apprentice was visiting, Liu Tiannan hurried over from the south courtyard.
After meeting, Liu Tiannan said with a smile: "Qingxuan, the last time we saw each other was a few months ago. I wonder how your respected master has been lately?"
"My thoughts are with you, Lord Menggu, and everything is well with my master!" Mo Qingxuan said.
At this time, Liu Tiannan shifted his gaze to Li Nanxing. He felt strange and couldn't help but ask: "Qingxuan, who is this person next to you?"
"Master Liu Valley, this is our master's new disciple, his name is Li Nanxing." Mo Qingxuan pointed at Li Nanxing and introduced.
When Liu Tiannan heard this, he looked at Liu Tianyuan next to him. He had originally intended for his son Liu Mu to become Ruan Xingxian's disciple, but he was rejected by the latter.
Presumably this young man named Li Nanxing must be a genius in cultivation, otherwise he would not be favored by Ruan Xingxian.
"The disciples who can be favored by Divine Doctor Ruan are definitely not just ordinary people!"
After saying this, Liu Tiannan stopped chatting and went straight to the topic: "I just heard from my servant that the two of them came to me with something important. I wonder what the important matter is?"
"To be honest, Valley Master, my senior sister and I met senior brother Lu Zhaosheng in the Longji Mountains a few days ago."
Upon hearing the name 'Lu Zhaosheng', Liu Tiannan immediately became uneasy and quickly interrupted Li Nanxing: "How is he?"
Li Nanxing paused and said: "He was killed by the people of Shen Shou Valley. Before he died, he asked me to deliver the Taiqing Qi Entrainment Record to Master Liu Valley."
When Liu Tiannan heard this, his whole body trembled with anger, and then he slapped his hand hard on the case.
"Shen Shou Gu, old thief Hou, you and I are at odds with each other!"
When Liu Tianyuan saw this, he quickly advised: "Brother, please calm down. It's not just a day or two for the old thief to bully me in Huanglong Valley. We should put the overall situation first!"
Liu Tiannan took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in his heart.
When his mood became more stable, he asked Li Nanxing: "Where is the Taiqing Qi Entrainment Record?"
Li Nanxing took out the Taiqing Qi Entrainment System and handed it over to Liu Tiannan.
Looking at the inconspicuous ancient book in his hand, Liu Tiannan showed a trace of melancholy on his face.
Since Lu Zhaosheng is dead, those who went with him to Qixia Mountain must also have been martyred.
"Master Liu Valley, this Taiqing Qi Entrainment Record is just an ordinary Qi Entrainment Technique. Why are the people in Shen Shou Valley trying so hard to snatch it? And the fact that they set up an ambush halfway, is it really just a coincidence?"
Hearing Li Nanxing's words, Liu Tiannan's expression changed and then returned to normal.
"You two don't know. Although this Taiqing Qi Yinlu is not a precious thing, it has its own uniqueness."
At this point, Liu Tiannan let out a sigh and continued: "To be honest with you two, Quanzi Mobai has been unable to condense Qi since he started practicing martial arts last year. This is the real reason why I asked Zhao Sheng to go to Qixia Mountain.
."
Li Nanxing and Mo Qingxuan looked at each other, and they didn't expect that Taiqing Qi Entrainment Record could have such an effect.
No longer discussing the matter of Taiqing Qi Yinlu, Li Nanxing said: "Master Liu Valley, I wonder if you have ever thought about why the people of Shenshou Valley set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain in advance?"
"You mean, someone went to Shenshou Valley to report the news?" Liu Tianyuan looked shocked. If this is true, doesn't it mean there is a spy in Huanglong Valley?
This is what Li Nanxing thinks in his heart, but he will never be too certain: "I just have such suspicion. As for the truth, we need to further verify it."
Liu Tiannan told the two of them that not many people knew about this matter. Apart from Lu Zhaosheng and his party, there were only him, Liu Tianyuan and a few true disciples in the valley.
Li Nanxing felt that the possibility of Lu Zhaosheng and his party was unlikely. The key lies in the people in Huanglong Valley.
"Master Liu Valley, among your disciples, is there anyone who has been acting suspiciously recently?"
Liu Tiannan shook his head. Recently, Huanglong Valley and Shenshou Valley have been at loggerheads, especially over the competition for the Danshan Medicine Garden. Neither one is willing to give in to the other.
Because of this incident, everyone in the valley was in panic, and all his true disciples were entrusted with important tasks, so they had no time to go out to report the news.
"Brother, I know there is a person acting suspiciously, but I'm not sure whether that person is him?"
Liu Tiannan looked shocked and asked quickly: "Second brother, please tell me quickly, who is that person?"
"Brother, do you still remember that the first two times we went to Danshan, there was one person who didn't go?"
When Liu Tiannan heard this, he quickly denied it: "It's impossible. Han Yi is my favorite disciple. It's impossible for him to do anything that would be sorry for me or Huanglong Valley."
Hearing the name Han Yi, Li Nanxing and Mo Qingxuan looked at each other, and the latter even said: "Master Liu Valley, the truth of this matter is not yet known, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Brother, think about it carefully. Who has insisted on guarding outside the village every day since the valley entrance? Who can leave Huanglong Valley without anyone knowing?" Liu Tianyuan had never known anything before.
He had been paying attention to these things, but after being reminded by Li Nanxing just now, he felt more and more that Han Yi was very suspicious.
Hearing Liu Tianyuan's words, Liu Tiannan was speechless for a moment.
He thought about it carefully.
Han Yi did have the opportunity to leave the valley at any time, but if he said that this boy was a spy sent by Kamshou Valley, he would not believe it anyway.
However, if you think about it carefully, Han Xu does have something weird about him!
"Second brother, don't make this matter public. In this case, you go to Xue Hua and Guo Taiming and ask them to replace Han Yi."
