Chapter 31 Distress in the mountains
"When you came in, you didn't see the two words on the gate? They were written by the little Taoist priest." Xiaoyun did not answer Dongfang Yuer's question.
Dongfang Yuer was stunned and blurted out: "Are you talking about the word "Yunqi"? It's really good, there seems to be a sword energy in the brushwork!"
Chu Feiyan, who was sitting aside, looked at Changsun and asked, "Empress, is there any particularity in the word "Yunqi"?"
Empress Changsun smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know that Li Xiuyuan won two games for the kingdom and did not want to give me any rewards. However, after he wrote these two words, the King of Qin rewarded him with a thousand gold coins, and finally asked me to deduct five hundred."
Looking at Chu Feiyan's dazed look, Changsun continued, "I asked him like you, guess how did he answer me?"
"Clouds rise and fall? No!" Dongfang Yuer said softly.
"Oh! He said that when he was at the end of the water, he sat and watched the clouds rise! At that time, the kingdom happened to be at the end of the water. Do you think the word "cloud" is worth a thousand gold?"
When they all withdrew Li Xiuyuan's reward, Empress Changsun regretted it.
"Good sentence: When you walk to the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise! I didn't expect that guy was still a poet!" Chu Feiyan, who was sitting next to him, giggled.
"It's a pity that we made him angry at that time. I wanted to see him again the next day, but I didn't expect that the master and apprentice had already entered the mountains." Chu Feiyan sighed at Empress Changsun and Xiaoyun.
Queen Changsun was stunned and looked at the two of them and asked, "What happened to you in the academy?"
Dongfang Yuer looked at her and shook her head, saying a misunderstanding after giving birth due to the ensemble of piano music, and then sighed: "I really didn't expect that he just learned the piano for a winter with his Master, which is worth more than twenty years of hard practice..."
"This is a strange thing. He has lived in the palace for a lot of days. We only know that he practices swords and writes, but we have never seen him play the piano."
Empress Changsun did not expect that Li Xiuyuan's practice on the piano has surpassed his own son. You should know that Qin Qianshan is the title of the number one genius in the Shura Heaven Realm.
"I've said it a long time ago, that's just a little monster. You don't believe it yet, Empress." Xiaoyun looked at the three of them and said softly.
Chu Feiyan looked at the three of them and sighed: "It's a pity that guy has one leg broken. I don't know if his teacher can help him heal it, otherwise it will be inconvenient to walk in the world in the future."
When Xiaoyun heard this, she said hatefully: "I didn't expect that this person from the Demon Realm would knock the little Taoist priest down from the cliff. Fortunately, he was rescued by the dean of the academy."
Empress Changsun couldn't help but say quietly, "This matter was finally caused by us. If I don't let him follow the overlord Chen... it seems that our fate with Li Xiuyuan has ended."
Thinking of the misunderstandings that happened to her son and the previous ones, no matter how she chose, she could not give up on her son and choose a strange Taoist priest.
When Xiaoyun heard this, she couldn't help asking, "Empress, don't you have any room for maneuver?"
"How to turn around? You didn't hear Miss Yu'er say that Qianshan left the academy that day. What should you do if you ask me to do about this?" Empress Changsun replied helplessly at Xiaoyun.
When Xiaoyun heard this, she couldn't say it. Even if she was the one who didn't know what to do, it was something she didn't want to use.
Dongfang Yuer saw that she could not get the result she wanted here, but she didn't want to say much about the matter between Tianfeng Kingdom and Li Xiuyuan. After all, from her personal perspective, she also stood from Qin Qianshan's standpoint.
Even if that guy is Li Ye, that's a thing of the past.
Farewell to Empress Changsun, Dongfang Yuer and his group came to Yunqi Taoist Temple on Luoxia Mountain.
However, the owner of this temple had been replaced by Old Man Zhang at the foot of the mountain. The old man looked at the sudden arrival of the group and couldn't help but smile, as if he could collect a lot of incense money.
"Old man, ask you for someone..." Dongfang Yuer walked into the Taoist temple and looked at Old Man Zhang and asked softly.
When the old man Zhang heard this, he replied with a smile: "So you are here to find Xiuyuan? He left here last year and has been away for a year. I don't know how to come back to see it."
When Chu Feiyan heard this, she couldn't help asking: "Old man, did Li Xiuyuan live here since he was a child?"
Old Man Zhang thought for a while and said with a smile: "When I saw him, he was so young... He has been relying on the old Taoist priests for the years. It is said that after the old Taoist priest became a god, Li Xiuyuan couldn't stay alone, so he handed over this place to me."
Speaking of this, Old Man Zhang took a few runes written by Li Xiuyuan from under the altar. "People in our villages like the talismans written by Xiuyuan, and the talismans written by Old Taoist Bian were not as useful as him. Later, everyone came to ask him for talismans."
When Dongfang Yiyu saw it, he took the rune from Old Man Zhang and looked carefully.
Chu Wuyan was unwilling to accept it, so he took one, looked at it and shouted, "Isn't this the same as the two words "Tianfeng Palace"? This is the handwriting of that guy."
When he said that this was the time, Chu Wuyan took out ten gold coins and handed them to Old Man Zhang, and smiled and said, "Take a few more pieces for me and I'll take them home to give them to someone."
When Dongfang Yuer heard this, she couldn't help but glared at her, took out ten gold coins and handed them to Old Man Zhang, and said, "Old man, we have disturbed your cultivation. I will come to you if you have any trouble in the future."
Old man Zhang smiled and looked at the two girls and said, "I didn't expect Xiu Yuan could meet a kind beauty like you outside. As long as he lives well outside, I will feel at ease."
"Will he come back?" Chu Wuyan looked at it and knew that Old Man Zhang was not a Taoist priest.
Old Man Zhang replied: "When Xiuyuan left, he told me that he would come back in two or three years. After all, once these talismans are finished, I will not write them again. There are no Taoist practitioners nearby, so I just take care of them here."
"Uncle, we're leaving, and we'll see you in the future!" Chu Feiyan pulled Dongfang Yu'er toward the Taoist temple.
The group left the Taoist temple and headed down the mountain. Chu Wuyan smiled and said, "You gave up now? I didn't expect that guy was still a nostalgic person. Even after leaving, he still wanted to come back to write talismans to the nearby villagers. I have to go back and have fun with him."
"You are crazy, how old are you? Hurry up and find a man to marry him. Don't mess with that little guy." Dongfang Yuer couldn't help but reach out and pinch her, and the two of them giggled.
Unexpectedly, Chu Feiyan looked at her and laughed, hugged her hand and said, "How long are we practitioners? At worst, I will wait for him to grow up? But you..."
Speaking of this, Chu Yuanyan looked at her disgustedly, looking gloating.
"What's wrong with me? Where did I mess with you?" Dongfang Yuer smiled at her.
Chu Wuyan shook his head and sighed: "Not to mention whether that guy is the Li Ye you are looking for. If you marry Qin Qianshan, what will you do when the two of them have a dispute in the future and the swords face each other?"
Looking at the boss Yu'er's stunned look, Chu Wuyan continued: "It is said that women hold grudges, but that guy has no intention of letting Qin Qianshan lose face. I don't believe that he won't hold grudges..."
Chu Feiyan, who was not interested in the big deal, analyzed the interests of the two with Dongfang Yuer in detail. "I don't care. At most, I shake hands with that little guy and make peace, and I didn't offend him."
She means simple, you are going to marry that man.
Dongfang Yu'er didn't expect that far away, so Chu Wuyan's statement made him feel worried. Judging from Li Xiuyuan's attitude, this is also a guy who is difficult to deal with. What should I do if it really happened that day?
Can't see me when I open my eyes?
It would be fine if Qin Qianshan was a little better, but if Qin Qianshan was still at a loss, would she help him get the place back? Thinking of this, Dongfang Yuer couldn't help but frown.
Whether in the Five Realms Imperial City or the Shura Heaven Realm, why is your marriage so difficult?
Looking at the sky, Dongfang Yuer said quietly: "I hope there will be no swords facing each other on the day!"
......
Li Xiuyuan in the mountains had been wandering around alone for several days.
I picked a lot of herbs and beaten a lot of pheasants and hares. I didn’t have to chew jerky every day. I came out for two days more than the last time. I thought I would go shopping for another day and go back to rest for two days.
There is plenty of time. Li Xiuyuan estimated that he is only sixty miles away from Wangyuejian now, not much, and he can rush back before dark.
It rained a few times in Tianyun Mountain in late spring, but this was not difficult for him.
What made him happy was that because there was enough rain and he couldn't pick up mushrooms in the mountains. He thought that he could cook a pot of mushroom broth for Master to improve his taste when he went back.
Not halfway through the journey, he suddenly heard a burst of roars and sounds of tearing the sky and the earth from a distance, and the wind was making a sound.
Li Xiuyuan stopped and quickly turned his ears and listened carefully.
After a while, his face changed and he quickly ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
Before he could run far, he saw a flying eagle fighting a golden python less than fifty feet away from Li Fangli.
The two guys' fight had reached a critical moment. The scales from the python on the ground and the feathers from the flying eagle.
The two guys were covered with wounds, and they were at a loss, as if they were suffering from the blue flying eagle. After their wings were injured, they could not spread their wings and could only fight against the golden python.
Li Xiuyuan didn't know why, but he was born with fear of animals like pythons when he was young. Seeing that the flying eagle was defeated, he couldn't help but take the iron bow, bent the bow and draw the arrow to shoot the iron arrow in his hand.
"Buzz!"
The iron arrow broke through the wind and shot the golden python's neck. A golden blood light rushed into the air.
In the pain, the golden python abandoned the flying eagle and ran towards Li Xiuyuan...
Li Xiuyuan was shocked and shot three arrows in succession, which hit the wounds before the golden python. As the python came, there were long golden blood stains dragging on the ground.
A golden python, much thicker than a bucket, rushed over, opened its mouth and bit it at Li Xiuyuan's head.
Li Xiuyuan twisted his body and leaped from the treetops on the roadside with the force, and narrowly avoided the bloody mouth of the python. The python did not diminish. With a "click", the branch as thick as a bowl was immediately bitten into several pieces.
At the same time, the python's huge snake tail flew, and it was as fast as thunder and wrapped around Li Xiuyuan.
"Strange beast, let's see how I deal with you!" Li Xiuyuan roared, and the iron bow in his hand was replaced with a rusty iron sword, and rolled up a gray sword energy and slashed hard on the huge tail of the python.
I saw a spark flashing, followed by Li Xiuyuan flying backwards a few feet in the air, and then smashed it hard to the ground, and the python's tail did not leave even a trace.
"I'll go... this is a monster!" Li Xiuyuan curled his lips, and he was a little scared.
The golden python twisted and pounced on Li Xiuyuan. Countless plants and trees were crushed to the ground by the python, leaving a wide trace. Soon, sand and stones flew in the valley again, and smoke and dust filled the sky.
One python and one person fought in the mountains for half an hour. This extremely fierce fight actually turned out to be a one-sided situation from the beginning. Li Xiuyuan had almost no power to fight back under the pursuit of the python.
Fortunately, although Li Xiuyuan's realm is not very good, his body skills are extremely flexible. He can avoid the fatal attack of the python at a critical moment.
During the fight with the python, Li Xiuyuan occasionally swung his sword to slash the injured neck of the python. The painful python fought with Li Xiuyuan to die together, turning up a stream of dust and instantly entangled his body...
After a dizzy twist, Li Xiuyuan was turned into the air by a python and fell heavily to the ground.
