…………
On the dirt road under the night, two figures slowly left Lingshui Valley. Even after walking far away, you can still see Qu Da seeing him off at the entrance of the village.
"Old Long, were you a little immoral just now..."
"Boss, you are serious! Although the tens of thousands of spirit stones are kept useless, they are extremely rare for ordinary monks. And you agreed to help and promised generous gifts. Qu Da and his son should be lucky! Now there are two phases. Suitable for all, this is how a gentleman loves wine and chooses it in the right way..."
"Haha! At least you and I lied to others..."
"There's nothing you can do about it. Who can let someone be shameless..."
The two walked while talking, and gradually came to the foot of a mountain peak outside the valley. Among them, Lin walked in a carefree manner, raising the purple gold gourd in his hand to take a sip from time to time. The old man was carrying a wine jar with a smile on his face. There was no moon in the sky at this time, and everything was hazy. Drinking and strolling in the night is a unique experience!
At this moment, a proud laugh came: "Haha! You two are quite happy..."
Lin Yi and Lao Long had no choice but to stop and look at each other silently. After a while, they both jumped into the air.
On the top of a hundred-foot mountain peak, under an old tree with a crooked neck, someone was sitting comfortably with his legs spread apart. He pointed to the dozen or so wine jars in front of him and said generously: "Brothers, please don't be polite. Let's set up a big banquet today and drink as much as you like..."
There is no one else but Brother Hu who is so arrogant and shameless.
Without even looking at the tiger's head, Lin turned around and stood on the peak, looking up into the distance.
The old dragon held up the wine jar in his hand and took a sip. He sneered at the tiger's head: "The stolen wine is tasteless when you drink it!"
Hutou waited for a long time and wanted to show off, but unexpectedly it backfired and he glared and said: "What is stolen wine? What an ugly thing to say! In the end, it is not for my brothers to enjoy it. Don't let outsiders taste this grain wine. It’s really powerful, ho ho…”
Old Long was still ungrateful and said: "After Qu Da was stolen, his children were robbed again. The boss had to take out tens of thousands of spiritual stones to get my two brothers out of trouble. You can enjoy it alone, don't feel sorry... …”
Hutou said disapprovingly: "It's just a few jars of wine, why take it seriously..."
Lao Long said seriously: "It doesn't matter if you do something occasionally. But you have ruined other people's livelihoods and lost the face of me and the boss..."
Hutou felt guilty, scratched his head, rolled his eyes, and said hesitantly: "How about... I will divide hundreds of jars of wine between you and the boss..."
The old dragon snorted and turned around. The guy with the tiger head swept away more than a thousand jars of wine, and he still pretended that he and the boss didn't know. His stingy face is clearly revealed!
Lin Yi said at the right time: "Old dragon! My purple gold gourd contains the universe..." He used magic to induce vomiting, and a stream of hops suddenly spurted out from the purple gold gourd.
Old Long understood, raised the wine jar and took advantage of the situation. The hops disappeared, and the ten-pound wine jar was already full. Immediately afterwards, a burst of mellow fragrance floated in all directions.
Hutou couldn't help sniffing his nose and stood up, and said in surprise: "The aroma of this wine is very familiar, but it is more intense..."
The old dragon ignored the tiger's head and took a big gulp of the wine, praising: "One hundred years of aging is worth a thousand pieces of gold! Haha..."
Lin Yiwu looked into the distance and said: "Qu Lang has taken away all the tens of thousands of spiritual stones from his home. If he is not traveling far away, he is going to fight to the death with his enemies. And since you and I have a promise, let's join in the fun! "After saying that, he took advantage of the night wind and flew into the sky. Lao Long followed closely behind, taking the opportunity to drink a few more gulps of wine.
But in an instant, only Hutou was left on the mountain. He wiggled his nose again and hummed a few times, then put away all the wine jars and chased after them. Brother Hu’s wine collection is best made from cellars that are ten years old. And it's unfair that the two of them actually enjoy a century-old wine...
…
This is a valley not far from the seaside, surrounded by mountains and water, and the terrain is dangerous.
More than ten miles away from the valley, there is a small hill. It was already dark at this time, but there were twenty or thirty figures quietly gathering in the lee of the hill.
Someone said in a low voice: "Ye Xi from Miao Lin Valley actually bullied me, Qu Lang, in broad daylight. I will not be a human being unless I take revenge..."
Some people said timidly: "It is said that Ye Xi has already achieved foundation-building cultivation. I'm afraid we are no match for him..."
Someone hesitated and said: "It's not easy for Miao Lingu to make a living by collecting commissions from passing ships. It's better to dissolve enemies than to make them..."
Someone echoed: "Yes, yes! We are considered to be the same people, so we might as well visit another day to find an explanation. It's dark and windy right now, so accidents will inevitably happen..."
The man surrounded was none other than Qu Lang. He snorted disdainfully and slowly raised his right hand. There is an iron ring on each of the five fingers.
Seeing this, everyone held their breath and concentrated. That iron ring is not a common thing, but a storage ring. Although it cannot be compared with the real Qiankun Ring, it is cheaper and better, and one of them is more than ten feet in size. In the eyes of these rural monks, it is already a rare good thing.
After Qu Lang gave a brief signal, he waved his hand and threw it away. A small pile of spiritual stones instantly appeared on the grass in front of him, and the crystal light flashed dazzlingly in the night. The surrounding figures suddenly shook, and everyone looked happy. He glanced at everyone, and then continued: "Those who came here today are all brothers of Qu. Regardless of whether they are or not, each of them will receive ten spiritual stones to express their feelings!"
"Fellow Daoist Qu, you are truly a man of your word..."
"Brother Qu is a righteous man, we cannot refuse him..."
"Yes, yes..."
"Brother Qu, just tell me if you have anything to say..."
Before Qu Lang finished speaking, there was another noise around him. But in the blink of an eye, there was no more spiritual stone on the ground. He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Follow me to kill Miaolin Valley, each person will get 50 spiritual stones. Kill Ye Xi, the culprit, and take back the goods of my Qu family, and then give each person a thousand spiritual stones..."
Everyone stopped talking, but heavy breathing came one after another.
The more than 20 people here, except for a few guys from the Qu family, are all Qigong cultivators within a hundred miles. Everyone either became a disciple or had a chance to embark on the road of cultivation. However, spiritual stones are rare and the path to immortality is difficult, so they can only rely on their own abilities, hoping to go further in the future. Now thousands of spiritual stones are falling from the sky...
Qu Lang saw the expressions of the people, stopped talking, and waved his hand. Everyone dispersed and turned to hide in the woods not far away.
A moment later, more than 20 tall monsters slowly appeared in the night. They were unicorn horses that were good at running, and each had a rider.
It was obvious that Qu Lang came prepared this time. And he would not wait until the next day to have a grudge. Although he was reckless, he was also decisive and ruthless! After a while, in addition to the Qu family's servants and the owner of the unicorn horse, more than 20 riders bypassed the hills and rushed to the valley ahead like lightning.
For a moment, the iron hooves roared...
On a mountain peak more than ten miles away, three old brothers were overlooking the situation in the valley below.
Lin Yi smiled and said softly: "Use a large sum of money to boost morale and make everyone willing to be driven; use the strength of the unicorn horse to make up for the lack of cultivation; then suddenly attack in the dead of night and rush into the village of Miaoling Valley with great momentum. The front and back are linked together and have a lot of rules. Given time, the kid of the Qu family will be a figure..."
Old Dragon echoed: "That's right! That kid can use the spirit stone you left behind to take advantage of the situation and do whatever he wants. It's really unexpected..." He may have some feelings, pondered for a while, and then said: "Thinking back to the past, there were people who fought everywhere like this, and finally went out of the beach and into the wilderness, and achieved a world of fame!"
Lin Yi turned around and looked at Old Dragon, but the other party crossed his arms and stopped talking.
It goes without saying that there was only one person who went out of the beach and into the wilderness and achieved fame, and that was Long Fan! Perhaps when Long Fan was young, he was also born in the grass and was full of fighting spirit!
Isn't it the same for me back then? But with a passion and obsession, he left his hometown alone, crossed the ocean, and went through many disasters to get to where he is today. However, the immortal path is unpredictable, and those who seek the way are as anxious as crucian carp crossing the river. How many people can finally be free outside the nine heavens?
Even if there is some luck, when you look back, you will find that there is no place for your mind to settle in those vast years. I don’t know... I missed a lot of scenery...
Hu Tou stood alone, holding a jar of wine in his hand. He is now like a rich man, with domineering and generosity in his actions. At least he always has aged wine on his lips, and he doesn’t have to worry about the long-term flow of money. Seeing the boss and Lao Long talking to themselves, he couldn’t help but interrupt: "Huh! A group of Qi training monks actually rode horses to fight, but they didn’t know that they would fall into a trap. It’s really interesting..."
No one paid attention, and the fun turned into boredom!
Hu Tou took a few steps closer, grinning, and said with a smile: "Brother Long! This ten-year aged wine is really good. It is a little sweeter than wild millet wine. Let's try it..."
Old Long stretched out his arm and spread his palm, and Hu Tou hurriedly handed over the wine jar. Unexpectedly, a wine gourd flew slowly from the side, and was gently caught and lifted up and opened his mouth to suck. The bright wine foam suddenly bloomed, and then was swallowed into the stomach. He sighed with a long breath of wine and praised: "Nectar and jade liquid, nothing is better than this. After a little aftertaste, there is a trace of spiritual energy that moistens the mouth and makes the body saliva. Good wine..."
Hu Tou's eyes were wide open, and he looked salivating.
Old Long ignored Hu Tou and said to himself: "Drinking the century-old aged wine of Lingshui Valley, there is no more delicious food in the world. Boss! Keep your purple gold gourd, don't let it be stolen..."
Hu Tou couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but had to resist the temptation. I raided the Qu family's wine cellar purely on my own initiative. Now I have offended my two brothers and I am at a loss for words. I can only regret it when I think about it. Why did I miss the century-old wine of the Qu family?
At the same time, the valley below was already noisy.
On the mountain road leading in and out of Miaolin Valley, there is a row of wooden fences that are taller than a person. They are just used to block the invasion of wild beasts. Usually, no one is watching.
However, when Qu Lang and more than 20 riders were about to approach the gate, a little fire suddenly lit up in front, and then the bowstrings jumped and arrows flew like rain.
Did Miaolin Valley have defenses?
Qu Lang rode his unicorn horse and rushed to the front, and he couldn't stop. He raised his hand and pinched the magic formula, and a layer of protective magic power suddenly surged from his body. Then there was a muffled "bang", and the man and the horse merged into one, suddenly breaking through the gate and rushing in. The companions who followed took advantage of the situation to sacrifice flying swords, and the group was murderous and unstoppable.
At this moment, someone came in midair with a sword. At the same time, several sharp sword lights whizzed down.
Qu Lang was the first to bear the brunt, and there was no way to avoid it. His face changed drastically, and he shouted in a hurry: "Retreat..." But before he could shout, the sword light came with a bang. His body protection magic power was instantly shattered, and then he fell off his horse. The remaining companions were in a panic and hurriedly fled. However, dozens of figures had surrounded them from all directions, and there was no way to retreat.
Someone shouted arrogantly: "Anyone who trespasses into my Miaolin Valley will be killed without mercy..."
The scene was clearly visible from the mountain peak more than ten miles away.
Lin Yi shook his head slightly and looked to the side. The old dragon understood and reached out to grab the unhappy tiger head, and ordered: "It is unreasonable to take the benefits and not work..."
