Li Xiuyuan took a breath, pointed at Zhao Meng and a group of guards and smiled: "They are human beings, and so are you. Since we are all the same, why can't you be more cruel to yourself?"

Putting down the bowl in his hand, Li Xiuyuan continued: "Zhang Liang has been looking forward to this day for I don't know how many years. Since you see hope, why don't you give it a try?"

Zhao Meng, who was sitting aside, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud with excitement: "If one day, I, Zhao Meng, and a group of brothers, even if we practice Sanjiu in winter, will accompany you to the end of the world bravely."

Xu Fu also blushed and said in a daze: "If I could be like Zhang Liang, I would definitely be more ruthless than him. Who doesn't want to become stronger these days?"

Why do you always dream of leaving Daqin?

Xu Fu couldn't become an official because he saw the darkness of the Qin Dynasty and the uneasiness of the six kingdoms after the unification. He wanted to find a pure land for himself and his descendants.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to risk his wealth and life to ask King Qin for such an opportunity.

However, this was what he felt in his heart, and he would not dare to tell Li Xiuyuan even if he died.

At least, he would not tell anyone around him these thoughts until he could safely set foot on the imaginary fairy island in his mind.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the gradually rising night and smiled faintly: "If you have a dream, chase it. What if it really comes true?"

This reminder, intentional or unintentional, immediately gave Xu Furu a wake-up call, as if he was waking up from a dream.

He was stunned and speechless for a moment because he understood some of what Li Xiuyuan meant.

From the first time he and Zhang Liang went to No. 47 Xianlai Liquor, Li Xiuyuan reminded him of this truth, but he didn't understand it at the time, and since then the wine shopkeeper just liked to tease him.

Listening to the words "Chasing Dreams" again tonight finally gave Xu Fu a glimmer of hope in his heart.

As Li Xiuyuan said, if you have a dream, chase it. What if it really comes true?

Otherwise, why would you risk thousands of miles and leave your hometown to pursue your dreams at sea?

With yesterday's experience, Li Xiuyuan asked Zhao Meng to take a group of guards to rest first, leaving only the two of them standing guard in the dark.

After all, no one knows when the bandits will attack, so everyone is maintaining enough strength to cope with the crisis at night.

Precautions have been taken outside the camp tonight, so even if there are bandits coming, there is no need to panic like last night.

Zhao Meng nodded, and while arranging people to keep vigil in the dark, he told a group of young men and women to take a rest.

Only Li Xiuyuan and Xu Fu were left in front of the fire. Xu Fu had been waiting for a day and wanted to ask something.

Xu Fu, with a ball of fire in his stomach, looked at Li Xiuyuan in a daze in pain. Li Xiuyuan reached out to take a pulse, shook his head, and poured him another half a bowl of wine.

When Xu Fu saw it, he took it unceremoniously and drank it in one gulp.

Just when he felt that a ball of fire was about to come out, Li Xiuyuan reached out to cover his mouth, and then put a hand on his back to help him stabilize the ball of air.

Xu Fu was frightened and immediately understood something, and he did not dare to move at that moment.

I could only silently feel the flame burning in my body...until almost two quarters of an hour passed.

Only then did Li Xiuyuan let go of his hand behind his back, and held Xu Fu's hand for a while.

Then he smiled and said: "Congratulations, you will be a real monk from now on."

Xu Fu exhaled heavily and asked fiercely: "In this case, I can also pick up the sword and kill the bandits?"

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "You are overthinking."

Xu Fu sighed and asked with a wry smile: "What else am I going to do next?"

"Spend an hour every day meditating and practicing the most basic sword skills." Li Xiuyuan said seriously, "This is your lifelong practice."

Xu Fu lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then replied: "I seem to have something in my stomach. Did Zhang Liang also receive it from the shopkeeper?"

Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this: "He, he yelled for a long time and provoked Lu Yuan again.

, I’m afraid he will suffer a loss.”

Hearing this, Xu Fu felt much more relaxed.

Thinking about Zhao Meng and others who had already fallen asleep, they couldn't help but ask: "Chief Zhao and his gang are not bad. Would the shopkeeper want to help them? This way we can be safer along the way."

Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "They will wait for two days until we find a town to spend the night."

The current situation was extremely chaotic. How could Li Xiuyuan dare to mess around? He had to use the next two days to test these guards. He also planned to divide the spirit wine into three times and give it to everyone.

Otherwise, if the bandits attack in the middle of the night, Zongheng can defeat the enemy by himself, and half of them will be assigned to protect Xu Fu and a group of boys and girls, as well as their belongings.

He even thought that maybe before he left, he could talk to the old Taoist priest and ask him to give this guy a space ring.

Otherwise, the third trip eastward would not be so easy.

Gently patting Xu Fu's shoulder, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will write you a formula for meditating and moving Qi, and then I will teach you how to start sword practice."

Xu Fu nodded and said, "I also want to know more about spiritual practice. Please ask Shopkeeper Li to teach me."

Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and yawned, then shook his head and said, "The road to practice is long, don't worry, you can go to sleep first, you don't have to worry about things at night."

Xu Fu was very frightened throughout the day. If he hadn't been so excited once he gathered his energy, he would have fallen asleep long ago.

Thinking about what Li Xiuyuan said, it makes sense. It is impossible to reach heaven in one night.

So after saying hello, he ducked into the tent to rest.

It wasn't until Xu Fu left that Li Xiuyuan sighed and opened his eyes, quietly looking at the starry sky above his head, his heart flying to nowhere.

He just opened a window for Xu Fu, Zhao Meng and others to practice. How high they can go in the future is not what he needs to care about.

Because he didn't want to create gods in Da Qin, he couldn't create gods here either.

In his opinion, as long as Xu Fu takes Zhao Meng and others on his third eastward journey, if Zhao Meng is still there at that time.

As long as the two of them keep working hard, they can almost reach the realm of golden elixir.

So, for Xu Fu, it may not be impossible to find his own way to cultivate immortality on an overseas island.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan sighed helplessly, thinking that he was just visiting this world to witness the occurrence of some big things.

But inadvertently, he changed the fate of someone who had nothing to do with the big event.

For example, Zhao Meng and a group of guards are in front of him.

In his opinion, perhaps something happened to Zhao Meng and others when they went to sea this time. The King of Qin will send Chen Meng and Zhang Meng next time. The Qin Dynasty will never lack the imperial army and loyal and brave men.

A pot of tea has been brewed three times, and it's almost Haishi.

Zhao Meng, who had slept for a while, was worried and quietly got up and touched it. Li Xiuyuan, who was already invisible in the darkness, nodded as he watched the fire gradually extinguish.

He asked softly: "Will it be peaceful tonight?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "Don't worry, they will definitely not let us go. There is no moon tonight, so it is suitable for a sneak attack."

When Zhao Meng heard this, he took off the iron bow from his back and put a barrel of iron arrows beside him. He said excitedly: "We are prepared, but we are afraid they won't come."

Li Xiuyuan took a breath, quietly dispersed his consciousness in all directions, left the camp, left the grass and woods, and headed towards the official road.

Li Xiuyuan is still a bit worse off now than he was in the Five Regions.

Transformation into a mortal was only half completed, and he traveled across the starry sky to Da Qin. His power was not even as good as when he was in the Five Realms.

Right now, apart from his swordsmanship, he only has magical talismans to save his life.

Perhaps, this is because the old Taoist priest is afraid that he will destroy the balance of this world, or perhaps, this is really his fate.

Before becoming a mortal, he was just an ordinary mortal.

He could not defeat the master, nor could he defeat Zhang Liang's mysterious master, the old man who had already seen the hope of ascension.

However, even the old Taoist priest did not know that Li Xiuyuan's spiritual consciousness was already more powerful than Nalan Ruoyu, the Jade Lord of Xuanwu Continent.

Not only because he once devoured souls in the late stages of the Fusion Realm in the backyard of Tianxiang Winery in Tianyu City.

He also devoured even more powerful guys in the prehistoric world.

Right now, he is in a mortal body, but his spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful.

The powerful spiritual consciousness gradually found a familiar feeling, the feeling that many years ago, when he was born and died in the nine abyss of hell.

At that time, he had not met Xiao Longer yet.

Relying on his powerful spiritual consciousness, he felt like walking on the edge of death again and again, fighting desperately against countless fire snakes.

Gently, Li Xiuyuan suppressed his breathing, trying to find the black shadows on the vast official road.

Not long after, Zhao Meng was anxious and wanted to ask a question.

Li Xiuyuan chuckled softly: "Come on, go, call your partner quietly, don't make any sound."

According to the original plan, Zhao Meng did not need to charge tonight, he only needed to lead a group of men to defend the camp.

If the monks from last night had taken action, Zhao Meng and others would have died if they had taken action.

Zhao Meng trembled all over and quietly left in front of the extinguished fire. At this time, Li Xiuyuan was already holding a cold bow and arrow in his hand.

No matter tonight or in the future, he didn't want these bandits to see what he was doing.

For future safety in the imperial city, he must be cold-blooded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three iron arrows exploring the way pierced the darkness and flew toward Li Xiu's pinhole guarding the entrance to the camp.

This time, Li Xiuyuan did not swing the iron bow to intercept. He took a few steps back before the iron arrow could reach his body. The iron arrow hit the grass without making any sound.
To be continued...
