Chapter 467 On the road
Chapter 467 On the road
Magic pills, magic rice, pots and pans.
A change of clothes, various weapons, and visible packages.
One morning a few days later, Li Yuan packed his bags, took Little Haozi with him, said goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law, as well as the two little ones playing in the yard, and went out.
Before leaving, he went to pay a visit to Lao Longtou.
In the small temple, Long Xixiang seemed to be waiting for him. He was happy to see Li Yuan coming down the mountain.
When he was Li Yuan's age, he never stayed in the mountains. He traveled between various provinces, either competing with others or traveling around the mountains and rivers to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"This booklet is a record of the local customs and practices of various places when I traveled down the mountain. You can take a look at it when you have nothing to do on the way."
Long Xixiang was in a good mood, but also a little sentimental.
He remembered what his master told him when he first went down the mountain a hundred years ago.
"Thank you, Master."
Li Yuan stretched out his hand to take it. Traveling around the world was a common thing for a Dao Sect disciple. He was just coming to bid farewell to his master as a routine.
"In the past, when I was leaving the mountain, your master gave me a saying, saying that you should show mercy when you can."
Long Xixiang paused slightly:
"I don't intend to give you this sentence."
"Uh……"
Li Yuan looked up.
"I am impatient and tough, but you are a bit weak and cowardly."
Long Xixiang was somewhat worried. It was simply because his disciple's personality was really unlike his own.
"When traveling in the underworld, don't deliberately cause trouble, but if you do encounter trouble, you must deal with it decisively and don't leave any trouble behind."
Long Xixiang instructed:
"If you are still hesitant, you can send a letter back quickly. Longyin Hall has hidden agents in various places. You can deploy and use them at will."
"...Disciple understands."
Li Yuan lowered his head and responded with a strange look on his face.
Of course, he didn't think he was a coward, but he still agreed deeply with what Old Dragon Head said.
"Ah."
Long Xixiang didn't say much, he just waved his hand, took out the Canglong cassock, and threw it to Li Yuan:
"I don't need this cassock anymore. If you put it on, it might be of some use to you."
The old dragon head is beyond doubt.
Of course Li Yuan didn't want to refuse. The blessing effect of this cassock also included the shape of a spiritual dragon, which was somewhat useful to him.
"Go."
Long Xixiang waved his hand and watched Li Yuan leave before turning around, lighting incense and worshiping the ancestor.
He was still relieved about Li Yuan going down the mountain.
It’s not that Li Yuan himself is so experienced, but because of Qin Yun. With this person accompanying him, there will be no danger unless this kid wants to sneak into the imperial palace.
But to be on the safe side, he still gave the Canglong cassock away. The cassock was not important. What was important was the true energy he left on the cassock.
……
It was not a big deal for the Dragon and Tiger True Sect to go down the mountain, and Li Yuan did not make it public. He just told someone he was familiar with and then boarded the big ship of the Xinyi Sect.
After the martial arts performances of various sects were suspended, most of the sects dispersed, and the people of Xinyi Sect were also divided into several groups. This was the last group.
The team was led by Monk Liaokong, and accompanied by Master and Disciple Wanchuan. The Seven Star Palace where they were located originally belonged to the Leiyin Continent.
In name, the states and sects are not subordinate to each other, but all the sects in the Leiyin Continent follow the lead of the Xinyi Sect.
The Xinyi Sect's ship was quite grand, with six floors and nearly a hundred rooms. Li Yuan was arranged on the top floor, next to Monk Liaokong.
The view here is wide. Looking around, you can see most of the ships on the Grand Canal and the majestic city in the distance.
"Junior Brother Li, is this your first time going down the mountain?"
On the sixth deck, there was a big umbrella. Under the umbrella, Monk Liaokong brought a chess table and played chess with Li Yuan while they were talking.
"It's not the first time. I've been in the martial arts world before."
Li Yuan made a move casually.
From the Weapon Forging Shop to the Divine Weapon Valley, to Dechang Prefecture, and then to the Dragon and Tiger Temple, he can be said to have traveled around the world to some extent.
"Junior Brother Li has a calm and steady character. I really admire him."
Monk Liaokong was just making small talk.
In fact, the information about Li Yuan had been placed on the desks of many forces long ago, and he had read it many times.
He was also well aware of Li Yuan's many deeds.
"Brother Liaokong, you are too kind. I just don't want to go out."
Li Yuan chatted with him intermittently. Perhaps because he had been practicing hard for too long, he felt that his mind was much more open after coming down the mountain this time.
The two of them were not very familiar with each other, and after a game of chess, Lekong said goodbye. He still had to entertain Wanchuan. It was natural for him to recruit a master craftsman who had created top-grade magic weapons.
Li Yuan enjoys peace and quiet.
Under the big umbrella, he moved a lounge chair, lay down leisurely, and read the essay that Lao Longtou left for him.
As he said, this booklet records his early travels around the world and is more like a diary than a travelogue.
"On the third day of June, I sailed to Youzhou. I heard that a genius had emerged from the Seven Evil Sect, named Yun Haisheng. I happily went there, defeated him in ten moves, and left."
"On September 16, I walked to Dingzhou. I heard that the owner of Huanglong Villa, Jin Shengwu, had penetrated the Yin and Yang and entered the Dao Grandmaster. I went to visit him, but I fought against him at a higher level and was defeated."
"On January 27, we arrived at Huizhou alone. We didn't get much from the Huailong Palace. We avoided the battle and attacked at night. We won..."
……
"On October 23, I arrived at Yunmeng Road. Wei Tianzuo of the Changhong Sword School was an expert in swordsmanship, but unfortunately he was defeated by me. Unfortunately, Shen Qisheng defected, so I didn't get to see his unique skill of splitting sword light..."
Where are the local customs and practices?
Li Yuan secretly complained that Lao Longtou's book was purely a battle notebook. After leaving Longhu Temple and traveling around various states, he only did one thing.
That is to challenge the masters.
From Dao Zong to Fu Zong, all those who were famous were visited and challenged one by one, and there were even those who challenged the marquis of the imperial court.
Among them, the Zhaixing Tower was also mentioned. He joined the Zhaixing Tower for the purpose of competing.
He beat those who were wanted, and also beat the assassins in Zhaixing Tower.
Compared to his record of zero missions, Long Xixiang actually assassinated many underworld villains, of course, more of them were assassins from the Zhaixing Tower. In the end, he fought his way to the Zhaixing Tower headquarters as a true disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Temple and became one of the top assassins.
"No wonder the master told him to show mercy when he can, this is really..."
Li Yuan was a little shocked.
This diary covers a period of twenty-three years. He doesn't know whether Long Xixiang has returned to the mountain during this period.
But along the way, he managed to break through the barriers from the initial stage of opening up the meridians, until he finally understood the yin and yang, and his reputation spread throughout the world.
This is how Zen Master Fu Long gained fame.
Those who are still alive and recorded in his diary are all first-class masters, and there are even a few grand masters among them.
Wei Tianzuo, Dading Zen Master, Tianshezi, Yuanqing Zhenren...
“No wonder many people thought that Lao Longtou would become a land immortal and take charge of Longhu Temple.”
Li Yuan felt a little emotional.
Long Xixiang's records are very concise, but from the lines, one can also see his high-spirited and heroic spirit in the past, traveling around the world and challenging the world to battle.
At the end of the booklet, it was mentioned that Long Xixiang was invited by Wang Wenyuan to go to the Divine Capital City, and then it was torn off.
"Too hard will break easily."
Li Yuan felt a little nervous, he also knew what happened next. Before Old Dragon Head was invited to the Divine Capital, he was full of vigor and vitality and had the aspirations to become a terrestrial immortal, the leader of the three heroes of dragon and tiger.
When he returned, he was emaciated, his blood and energy were exhausted, and he was a living dead man who had been sitting in the mountain for more than 40 years without being allowed to come down.
“When traveling in the world, survival is the most important thing.”
After closing the file, Li Yuan paced on the deck for a while. He returned to his room after dinner.
Going down the mountain does not mean relaxing. The advantage of setting out with the fleet is that you don't have to worry about miscellaneous tasks and can save time to practice martial arts.
"call!"
In a small room, Li Yuanxu was practicing standing meditation.
With his current attainments in martial arts, even the most intense martial arts can be performed in the most gentle manner in a small space.
Even the god-level standing practice like the Dragon and Tiger Standing Posture.
"Without the blessing of the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace, I'm still a little uncomfortable..."
With his eyes half closed, Li Yuan muttered to himself.
The blessing of the Dragon-Tiger Health Preserving Furnace was immense, especially in terms of his physical talent, which allowed him to make extremely rapid progress in his practice of standing meditation and horizontal training.
But his focus now is not on horizontal training and standing meditation.
Mastering all kinds of magical weapons, changing talents, and gathering a thousand forms are what he most urgently wants to do now.
The scene many days ago when Taoist Master Long activated the health-preserving furnace was still unforgettable to him.
It is true that his Qi cultivation is far from comparable to that of Taoist Long, but if he can completely master the Black Whale Hammer, he can at least make partial use of it, right?
"Grandmaster, if you don't have the mysterious weapon to protect you, you may not be able to withstand my hammer, right?"
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, and the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer in his weapon talisman emitted a faint light. He was looking forward to it.
The Health Furnace, Sky Fire Seal and Azure Dragon Armor are not magical weapons for killing, but the Black Whale Hammer is!
"call!"
After completing several sets of standing exercises, Li Yuan controlled the Thunder Beast Spirit Pill in his palm to speed up the digestion of the Hundred Form Pill.
At the same time, he was doing two things at once, mobilizing the internal energy throughout his body to flush his internal organs, meridians, and bones.
The stage from marrow refining to blood transfusion is somewhat dangerous, even he has to be careful.
Qi entering the marrow is not much safer than entering the brain. There are many examples in Longhu Temple of talented disciples who made mistakes at this step and ruined their journey in martial arts.
"The essence of blood transfusion lies in the true qi. The true qi enters the marrow and stimulates the production of new blood. The new blood replaces the old blood. This process took Lao Longtou six months, and it is said that this step will take at least a hundred days."
The 100-day blood transfusion is the process of new blood replacing old blood. During this process, the tendons, bones, skin, flesh, internal organs, marrow and even the true qi itself will all grow greatly.
A true rebirth, the unity of Qi and blood, the peak state of the body.
"call!"
After a while, Li Yuan opened his eyes and replaced the Thunder Beast Spirit Pill. In the corner, a little mouse made a squeaking sound.
Li Yuan restrained his breath, the door was pushed, and the little tiger cub poked his head out to take a look, looking a little suspicious.
For a moment, she felt like a ferocious beast was baring its fangs in the house.
'strangeness……'
After taking a look, the little tiger turned and left. Li Yuan's room was not big, but the boat was very big. She didn't want to share a room with this brat.
"Three more shapes have been added!"
Li Yuan felt quite happy as his muscles and bones were relaxed. Seeing that the little mouse was a little frightened, he generously took out a magic pill.
He still had two Dragon-Tiger Pills that he hadn't used, and the hundreds of elixirs he had on him couldn't be used for the time being.
"squeak!"
The little mouse opened his eyes wide, hugged the elixir, and even forgot about his fear.
"Eat slowly, don't rush."
Li Yuan stroked the little mouse's smooth fur, smiled slightly, lay down with his clothes on, listened to the music, and went to sleep.
No matter how busy he is, he cannot disrupt his daily routine.
……
After sailing for more than a month, we traveled by land.
After more than two months, Li Yuan had arrived at the territory of Leiyin Province. The expected assassination did not happen. Both the imperial court and the Evil God Cult seemed to have forgotten him.
On the contrary, some young heroes and warriors heard of his whereabouts and some came to visit him or to challenge him.
Li Yuan also took time out of his busy schedule to do this.
Unfortunately, there were really no masters among the people who came. At most, they were evenly matched with Old Han and were easily suppressed by him.
After that, naturally, a wave of donations will come in.
This repeated many times. During the two months after he went down the mountain, he listened to music every day, and the number of low-level incense sticks actually increased compared to before he went down the mountain.
Before nightfall that day, the convoy arrived at a small town.
As soon as they entered the city, the monks of Xinyi Sect went to look for a gambling house, while Li Yuan took Kong and Wanchuan and his disciples to look for a restaurant.
Food is one of the few entertainments for Li Yuan on his way down the mountain.
