Chapter 962 Mushroom Forest

Qi Lanyan in front of him was only playing with the bone fragments, gently tossing them in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Then fellow Taoist Murong...are you here?"

Murong Yan stood in the courtyard with a gloomy expression.

The people in Shi Tu must have some plan to push Murongyan out, but Qi Lanyan in front of him was smiling, but he was also not a good guy!

'A few old people from Shitu want to push me out, but my surname is Murong. Although I am not a member of the royal family, I am still a direct descendant. They are trying to use me against the will of heaven, but if it doesn't work, they will drag me into Shitu... Qi Lanyan, You really look forward to my death! ’

The Murong family and Guanxie are not on the same terms. The conflict did not last overnight. When Daliang fell and all the heroes came together, the Qi family fell into the hands of the Murong family. The ancestor of the Qi family, Qi Wang, was even captured by Murong Dechang. Served for life... The Qi family has always regarded themselves as a prominent family in Yin City. They were enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty and have noble blood. They already looked down on foreign barbarians. How could they endure such humiliation!

At that time, the Qi family worked hard, swore blood and tears, and were old enemies with Murong's barbarians. As time has passed, things have become much better on the surface. The Murong family is powerful, and the Qi family has no voice, but who knows what they are thinking in their hearts. of?

Murongyan knew that nothing good would happen when she saw him, and today she understood that even though her rear was unstable, she would only be humiliated if she bowed to Qi Lanyan!

Therefore, he looked cold and said casually:

"Of course I will follow Master Qi's instructions."

Qi Lanyan stood up with a smile, looking very polite:

"Is there any appointment? I just ask fellow Taoist Murong to stay outside the mountain. When the results of the cave are obtained, please come in together... By the way, there is Mr. Gao... Is he willing to go in? I'm afraid there will be a conflict with the Li family. , chilled his heart!"

It was Lou Yingge who always claimed that his surname was Lou. Qi Lanyan pretended to be dumbfounded. Considering his height, although his face was smiling, it was mostly sarcastic. Murongyan only said coldly:

"Fellow Taoist Lou always obeys the arrangements of adults. I don't know who Mr. Gao is? But Tuoba..."

"alright!"

He only uttered the word Tuoba, and a cold shout came from the palace door behind Qi Lanyan, interrupting him neatly. Murongyan immediately broke out in a cold sweat and quickly bowed aside. :

"I didn't know Master Wei was here!"

Murongyan didn't even have to think about it. Qi Lanyan behind him must be sneering.

However, the door of the palace opened softly, and a summons was heard. Murongyan stepped forward quickly, and sure enough, she saw a man in white standing in the palace, holding a small box in his hand, as if he was admiring something, with a faint smile on his face. Golden brilliance.

Seeing him coming up, Wei Xuanyin put the box in his hand and said seriously:

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist Murong."

Murongyan shook her head cautiously.

Wei Xuanyin glanced at him and said casually:

"I thought that the State of Yan would handle it on its own, and I didn't want to disturb the arrangements of the great virtues. I never came up with such a misunderstanding. Maybe the news was not timely, which shocked Taoist Murong."

Murongyan saw him asking so straightforwardly, what else could she say, complaining about her family's release and exposing her own shortcomings? I could only swallow my bitterness and said with a smile:

"Shi Tu also gave me a warning... It's all my fault that I was too eager and misunderstood what Shi Tu Zhong meant!"

Wei Xuan didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he just nodded slightly and asked:

"This time the two families have suffered a lot of casualties. When we get to the cave, we can support each other and make amends... Taoist Master Shengbai will come in a few days. He will first settle in Luoxia. Those etiquettes are naturally indispensable. I'll wait. If you don’t know about this, please ask fellow Taoist Murong to pick it up.”

"yes…"

Murong Yan responded in a low voice, her heart pounding. Although Wei Xuan's words sounded nice, he didn't have much peace of mind:

'Although Guanxie's faction is now Luoxia's lackeys, Qi Lanyan has cultivated "Jiaomu", and Wei Xuan has cultivated "Jueyin", both of them have nothing to do with Luoxia's orthodoxy, and they don't have Luoxia's tolerance for immortal cultivation. And magnanimity...'

He was not as wary of Wei Xuan as Qi Lanyan, but he didn't have much favorable impression either. He smiled and said:

"I only follow your instructions, but I heard that two fellow Taoists, Zong Chang and Gong Sun, have arrived at Dayuan Guangyin Mountain and are almost there..."

Because Wei Xuan was here, his original intention of negotiating with Qi Lanyan and taking advantage of the situation to put pressure on Yan Guo also faded away. He could only return without success and left in anger. Qi Lanyan did not even raise his eyelids. Waiting for him to retreat, this Then he stopped smiling:

"Murongyan really didn't get any information. Those compassionate ministers in Shitu are also very cruel. Mercy is compassion, and Murong is Murong...but they also make sense."

Wei Xuanyin shook his head, looking a little unhappy:

"You did this in a hurry!"

Seeing that Qi Lanyan was puzzled, he said softly:

"Do you know why Murongyan suffered such a calamity?"

"There is no news about Mr. Xue so far, and there is no guard on the mountain. As time goes by, the people in the north are inevitably doubtful, and they are gradually coveting Li Zhouwei..."

"The way of compassion is also the same. There is an example of the famous King Mingming. Seeing that there is no response from the mountain, how can you not be greedy for Bai Lin? Li Zhouwei can't be transformed into his hands, but if he can kill him and form a big Cause and effect, the benefits are no less than those of swallowing swallows."

"That's why I immediately started to think crookedly in my heart, so I ignored Mu Rongyan, hoping that something would happen to him in this accident, and made a plan to make the cause and effect bigger and bigger, and finally see if I can bring about Mercy's fate..."

"But Mu Rongyan is a person who seeks immortality, otherwise he would not firmly choose the path of "Female Water". In fact, he longs for the gold position in his heart and is ashamed to live in the position of release. Only when he has no choice will he consider becoming a monk...how could he be willing to be one of them? Where is the victim? This is why news is cut off.”

Qi Lanyan was silent for a moment, then he saw Wei Xuanyin and said softly:

"But Yamanaka's attitude is not clear, and Mercy Road is obviously hesitant. Murongyan is gifted after all, while Li Zhouwei may be a wasted business. I hope he gets injured and has a grudge to prepare for future changes. Fortunately, at the right time We enter the market at the right time, but we don’t want him to fall completely. This is why we act in a contradictory manner, cutting off news but guarding him in the void..."

Qi Lanyan gradually understood, and Wei Xuanyin said quietly:

"It's a pity. I don't know who exposed the truth, deliberately said disgustingly and compassionately, or Bai Lin's powerful golden eyes, secretly noticed that there were many figures in Taixu, and so far, no real fire was produced, so this round was lost. , which made Murongyan more vigilant, and he will probably not take any risks in the future. "

Qi Lanyan was silent for a long time and asked:

"Uncle Master...what do you think?"

Wei Xuanyin lowered his eyebrows and remained silent. After an unknown amount of time, he raised his pen, his eyes still on the case, and said quietly:

"Compassion is not the first to think about it, nor will it be the last... just wait."

He rolled up the volume on the desk and hid it in his sleeve, and then took out the small box placed on the side of the table, shining a light golden light everywhere. Qi Lanyan glanced at it slightly, as if There is a small seal about two fingers wide, embedded in the base, with only the side exposed.

Wei Xuan shook his head and smiled:

"I'm going to the East China Sea... to meet my old friends."

…

The sky was bright, the morning glow was rising on the horizon, the vast plain was full of life, and several rays of Dharma light quickly came from the fertile land along the creek.

The young man at the head was majestic and elegant. He was dressed in a feather coat and had a jade belt around his waist. He looked like he belonged to a rich or noble family. He was riding a silver-coloured horse, shining brilliantly.

The woman next to her is wearing a white dress. The clothing looks simple, but the material is faintly radiant. Her appearance is beautiful and she has an air of purity.

The young man smiled slightly and pointed to the land in front of him:

"Khotanyou, this is Fengxiang County in the Mushroom Plains, and it is also a treasure land with unique scenery..."

"oh?"

The girl looked at him with a smile and asked:

"Brother Liang has been here too?"

Li Jiangliang smiled and said:

"When I was traveling south, I rested here. People who were traveling with me told me that there was once a mountain in this place, enshrining a statue. Later, it was destroyed by a monk named Yuan Chengdun, who took away the magic weapon and landed it in this county. , so it has this name.”

Yang Tieyou said softly:

"It turned out to be him."

The two stopped in the county town, and many people immediately came up to flatter them:

"Master!"

The young man waved his hands and frowned:

"Who's in charge here?"

The crowd immediately bowed down, feeling a little frightened. After pushing and shoving for a while, a middle-aged man finally walked out of the crowd.

This man had gray hair and was quite old. Although his face was noble, he was missing an eye and had a messy beard. He staggered up to his eyes and bowed down deeply.

He was extremely frightened and stepped forward to help Li Jiangliang lead his horse. He humbly turned aside and said in a trembling voice:

"The villain...the villain has met the young master."

Li Jiangliang turned his head and said with a smile:

"Which family are you from? Your cultivation is pretty good, just show him around."

The man knelt down with a plop and whispered:

"Those who are like slaves are afraid of dirtying your ears!"

Li Jiangliang's smile did not change and he said:

"But it doesn't matter."

There was a movement below, and everyone looked up. The man lowered his head deeply, revealing the skinny, protruding vertebrae on the back of his neck. He said in a trembling voice:

"Villain... villain... Yuan Fuyao."

"oh!"

Li Jiangliang gently pinched the handsome horse under his crotch. The Yinlin Lingma snorted, pulled the reins from his hand until it fell off, and said with a smile:

"What a coincidence!"

After he finished speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and another person with white hair came up from the crowd. He hurriedly pulled Yuan Fuyao off and pulled him behind him, with a respectful smile on his face:

"The villain Ding Xiding has met the young master!"

Although the old man had gray hair, he had thick eyebrows and a cheerful face. He looked very excited and replied:

"My lord...my lord...please!"

Yang Tieyou also flew down from the spirit beast, and the two of them entered together. People on the left and right came up, and there was a lot of excitement. But a subordinate behind Li Jiangliang smiled, seeming to recognize Ding Xiding, and said with a smile:

"Old man Ding! I remember you boasted that you and Mr. [Yue Que Sword] were brothers. How come the rightful master was mute when he came in front of him?"

The old man's face suddenly turned red, and his thick eyebrows were raised high, but the words that he could boast about at that time could not come out of his mouth now. He could only stammer:

"That time... I also saw it back then..."

Li Jiangliang smiled and said:

"I know... the Ding family! They were also seen by the lake... bordering the An family."

As soon as these words came out, Ding Xiding burst into tears and nodded repeatedly:

"Young master is really amazing... I have read through the history books, and I can still remember things from such a long time ago... I can't thank you enough!"

When Li Tongya accomplished foundation building, he still sighed and felt jealous, so he never mentioned it. But as Li Tongya's reputation spread, the Li family built more and more foundations, and he gradually boasted about it. When the Li family left the Zi Mansion, Ding Xiding Instead, I didn’t dare to say a word.

At this moment, someone mentioned it to a junior, and he was so proud that he shed tears on the spot.

And Yuan Fuyao, who he treated as a young master at that time and could no longer be attentive to him, has long been thrown aside like a burden, standing alone and cowering.

A group of people crowded into the main hall of the county. Li Jiangliang waved his hand and immediately went out together like the wind. Yang Tie said with a smile:

"This place is too close to Wangyue Lake. Everyone knows about the Li family, and rumors are spreading around the lake. I'm afraid everyone knows about Yuan Fuyao's story."

Li Jiangliang shook his head and smiled:

"There's no need to embarrass him... After all, we still have to win people's hearts. Your brother just settled Yuan's family. If I try to embarrass him again, it won't look good... Besides... I think I should thank him."

Yang Tieyou obviously knew what he meant, and laughed and shook his head. Li Jiangliang walked around the county with her for a while, observed carefully, and whispered:

"There are a few small tribes in the local area that still need to be dealt with. This is easy. However, there are too few of them right now, and it doesn't mean that all of them are outstanding. Once they spread across the vast mushroom forest, it will be even more troublesome..."

Yang Tieyou was a little helpless, frowning slightly, but his appearance and temperament made him look even more attractive, and he replied:

"My family just has a small number of people...I have brought the few people I can bring with me, and we have to be busy everywhere, so we can't all stay here..."

She changed the topic and said hopefully:

"It's just that there are many monks on the lake, and all of them can do the job... Maybe you can borrow a few capable ones from home? There's no need to build a foundation, a few Qi refiners are enough. What's missing are confidants."

Li Jiangliang suddenly felt embarrassed.

He really didn't want to borrow someone from Huzhong. Although the elder sister Li Quewan and the second brother Li Jianglong who were in charge of the family would definitely not embarrass him, but all his brothers and sisters were working for the family, and he couldn't help. No matter what happens, I still need to ask my family for help!

What's more, this matter is not for cultivation, but for others. It is inevitable to feel a little embarrassed, and he muttered:

"this…"

He secretly thought about how to speak. He raised his head and saw that he had arrived at the lively market in the county. There was noisy everywhere. He glanced around casually. He felt the jade talisman around his waist became hot, and the expression on his face suddenly froze, suspicious and confused. happiness.

Li Jiangliang's eyes quickly swept around, and there was a man in crimson clothes standing next to the stall in front of him with his hands behind his back.

This man has a slender figure and outstanding appearance. Standing quietly in the crowd, he has an outstanding temperament. Although his eyes are full of smiles, and because the gap between his eyebrows and eyes is too close, he looks vicious and his eyes are narrow. , with golden eyes.

The man seemed to turn his head inadvertently and smiled brightly at him.

Li Jiangliang turned to look at Yang Tianyou. The woman was looking at him with a smile. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her heart and sighed:

"You'er...come and see big brother!"
