……………………
Under an ancient pine tree on the top of the mountain, two old brothers sat quietly.
In the canyon below, a ball of golden light hundreds of feet high hung in the air. It is surrounded by clouds and mist, and it doesn't look eye-catching, but sometimes it rumbles and sometimes it stays still, which makes it look a little strange!
Hu Tou held the jar of wine, and after taking a sip of it happily, he shook his head happily, turned to the side and said politely: "Brother Long, you really don't want to buy a jar of ten-year-old wine?"
The old dragon looked at the golden beard that appeared under his chin, caressed it tenderly, and then replied briefly: "No need!"
Hutou said with peace of mind: "After ten years of drinking, Brother Hu has nothing to ask for! There are more than a thousand jars, ho ho..." He told the truth about the hoarding of wine, but no one responded and he felt bored. , looked at the canyon, and said: "The boss is the boss! The Yin people's methods are top-notch..."
Old Long put down his beard and said seriously: "Don't speak ill of the boss behind his back!"
Hutou laughed and said disapprovingly: "I really didn't accuse the boss wrongly. Think about it, he knew that there were masters hidden in Longtan, but he stayed at the beach to watch the scenery, and then asked you and me to lure the snake out of the cave. But he himself He is setting a trap here to catch Fang Mingzi and others who are chasing him. With his cultivation in the middle stage of Dongtian, coupled with such insidious methods, it is not a sure thing to trap people..."
Old Long frowned, glanced at Hutou, and asked, "How do you compare with the boss?"
Hutou took a sip of wine, without thinking too much, and said arrogantly: "Apart from his inferior cultivation, Brother Hu is also a wise and brave man, quack..."
Old Long snorted and said: "Hutou, if you are a country boy from the ordinary world, how far can you go if you start from Qi training?"
The tiger head glared at the old dragon with disdain and shouted: "Brother Tiger is a born divine beast with countless opportunities. He can practice while sleeping. How can he be compared to a country boy..." Seeing that the other party looked unhappy, he had to say again: " Even if it’s like you said, I can’t stand that kind of suffering. I’ve been worrying about spiritual stones, exercises, and retreat all day long, and I haven’t had a single day…”
Old Long nodded and said: "When I met the boss, he was just an ordinary Taoist priest in a remote village. And he began to practice qi at the age of thirteen, went down the mountain and traveled overseas to seek immortality at the age of sixteen, and built a foundation in his twenties. . During this time, there were countless lives and deaths..."
Hutou didn't know much about Lin Yi and Boss Lin's past events, but he couldn't help but become curious when he saw that Lao Long talked about it in a sensible way.
"The boss has traveled from Great Shang, Daxia, Jiuzhou, and Immortal Territory to today. It has taken fifteen hundred years. He not only has the cultivation of the middle stage of Dongtian, but also has become a famous figure! And every time he comes Everywhere, footprints are left. Although it cannot be said to be a legacy, it has pointed the way for future generations..."
The old dragon continued: "What's more, he turned you, a golden elixir tiger soul driven by others, into a majestic tiger-headed demon king; he used a cavity of essence and blood to transform me, old dragon, and regenerate. From now on, he will take you and my brother to go further..." He changed his words, with a stern expression, and asked: "Since your Brother Tiger is on par with the boss, how can you dare to ask? ? Do you have the courage to distinguish right from wrong and be decisive? Do you have the magnanimity to accept all rivers and be open-minded? Or do you have the detachment of Cihang Dharma and the ruthless Tao, or do you have the state of embracing the wind and the chaos and keeping oneness? "
Hutou thought the old dragon was chatting, but unexpectedly he heard a lesson. He shook his head nonchalantly and tried to defend himself.
However, Old Long slowed down his words and said solemnly: "Hutou! You and I are brothers, please cherish them!" After saying that, he turned aside and said no more.
The tiger head blinked twice and was stunned for a moment. After a while, he smiled silently, holding the wine jar and drinking silently.
Half an hour later, the golden light in the canyon suddenly disappeared, and then the figures of three old men appeared, namely Lin Yi, Fang Mingzi, and Fang Yuanzi who had restored their disguise.
Seeing this, Laolong and Hutou stood up.
Fang Mingzi and Fang Yuanzi raised their hands to Lin Yi to say goodbye and then left.
Hutou asked strangely: "Huh? Why didn't the boss kill those two guys..." He noticed that there was someone watching beside him, and turned his head to laugh silly, as usual.
The old dragon just glanced at him and seemed to have forgotten his previous unhappiness. He greeted into the canyon: "Boss..."
Lin Yi flew up in the sky and landed on the mountain peak.
Lao Long asked: "Boss! Those two people have different expressions. Could it be..."
Lin Yi looked at the two brothers and didn't answer with a smile.
Hutou took a sip of wine and affirmed seriously: "Of course! Those two guys must have surrendered under the boss's iron fist..."
Lin Yi reached out and took out two things, handed them to Laolong and Hutou respectively, and gestured: "One for each..."
Hu Tou hurriedly dropped the wine jar, took it with his hand, and said with a smile: "My double bottle..." He looked at it for a moment and said in surprise: "It's a foot long and can hold thousands of kilograms of fine wine..." But before he finished speaking, his expression changed again. Not only did the jade bottle's belly grow bigger, it was also filled with wine. When shaken a little, the liquid fluctuated and became fragrant. It was clearly the coveted century-old wine...
Old Long took the jade bottle with a smile on his face.
Lin Yi said apologetically: "It's been made in a hurry, it's just usable! When you drink wine, you can do whatever you want..."
Tigerhead stared at the jade jar and said in a lost voice: "Boss..."
Lin Yi responded: "What's the matter?"
Tigerhead seemed to wake up suddenly, shook his head, raised the jade jar and took a sip, sighed with great satisfaction, and then turned to Lao Long and questioned: "Hey, brother, the jade jar you took is the son or the mother, how about exchanging..."
Lao Long took a deep look at Tigerhead, then turned aside with a look of disgust, raised the small jar and tasted it, and praised: "Thank you, boss..."
Lin Yi had no intention of drinking, looked into the distance and thought about something.
Some things don't need to be said, and brothers can guess them. Since Fang Mingzi and Fang Yuanzi want to survive, they have to leave an explanation!
I remember that Fang Mingzi and Fang Yuanzi had attracted my attention in the Nine Heavens Tower. In addition to being cautious, the two never blindly follow others, and act decisively, but they are not vicious people! As expected, after explaining the pros and cons, and telling them the truth about Long Fan's murder, as well as the reputation of the Immortal Emperor's inheritance, they finally let go of their scruples and surrendered sincerely!
In addition, Chen Lianzi blamed Fang Mingzi and Fang Yuanzi for the murder of his two junior brothers, and reprimanded them severely without mercy. Jiuxuan was present at the time, and his expression was also cold. Now the two old brothers were confusedly sent to the remote Longtan to guard, which was clearly a kind of exile without trust, which made the two dissatisfied and frustrated!
In any case, the betrayal of Fang Mingzi and Fang Yuanzi was tantamount to prying Jiuxuan's corner. And the help of two mid-level masters of the cave heaven made this trip more uncertain!
It is said that many masters of Qianhuang joined Jiuxuan's door, just to seek the orthodoxy of the immortal way, so that they could have a good future. But there are not many people who are really devoted to him. As long as the rumor that Jiuxuan betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors is spread, Jiuxuan's reputation will be damaged. But if the timing changes, he will inevitably be abandoned by his friends and relatives.
Fang Mingzi also said that although his brothers did not know Jiuxuan's current intentions, they would try to contact many masters secretly. Let everyone know the truth about Long Fan's murder and that Lin Yi is the only heir of the Immortal Emperor...
Lin Yi did not stop Fang Mingzi and Fang Yuanzi's plan, but acquiesced. As long as the enemy is isolated and helpless, there is nothing to fear!
Master Jiuxuan, since you want to fight, Lin will accompany you to the end this time!
...
Rain!
It has been a long time since I saw the scene of rain, but now there are dark clouds and heavy rain ahead.
Yin and Yang meet and the five elements circulate, which is why there are cold and hot, wind and rain, thunder and lightning. And outside the clouds and sky, it is far away from change and quiet and eternal. However, the three brothers did not fly across the starry sky, but plunged into the vast rain and fog one after another.
It was sunny before, but in the blink of an eye, the world was turned upside down.
At this moment, it seemed as if a hole was poked in the sky, and the rain poured down like a bucket, and there was a raging wind and rumbling thunder, making people in it, not knowing where they were.
On a mountain peak, Lin Yi landed. The wind and rain had not yet approached three feet, and they slid past suddenly.
The old dragon who came later seemed to have merged into this world. The dense rain was about to touch his robes and beards, and then disappeared. It was as if he came from the wind and rain, and walked with the wind and rain.
However, the situation of Hu Tou was completely different from that of his two brothers. He actually dispersed his protective magic power and let the rain wash him. Except for his illusory facial features, his whole body was soaked. But he was very energetic and kept shouting that he was happy!
That guy was washing his body, but he knew how to take advantage of the weather and the place!
"Haha! It's really fun to travel like this, and no one notices it..." The old dragon came closer and laughed.
Tiger Head then laughed: "Haha! I really want to wash my naked buttocks comfortably..."
"This is the secular world of Qianhuang, you can do whatever you want..." The old dragon turned around and snorted, saying: "Boss! Don't let him lose face for you and me, go ahead..."
The three brothers continued on their way.
It was estimated that it was noon, and the once raging storm gradually subsided, but the sky was still dim, and raindrops were still drifting in all directions. A wide river appeared in front of them, with turbid waves rolling and roaring. Perhaps it was because of the sudden increase in rain that the river became more fierce. Several embankments collapsed and cracks appeared, and the turbulent torrents collapsed the mountains and forests and left thousands of miles of mess.
Walking through the wind and rain like this, there is a different feeling!
The changes in the world came from Wuji, and they began to take shape, and the yin and yang cycled, and there was a loud sound. Although no one cast a spell, the mountains and rivers were moved. Although he has no magical powers, he has divine power...
Just as the three brothers were about to cross the river, they heard a few cries of babies in the wind and rain. After a while, a childish nursery rhyme drifted in -
"Clouds, please stop!
Rain, please stop!
Clouds and rain are always here, the wind is blowing!
Clouds, please go slowly!
Rain, please go slowly
Clouds and rain are always here, the wind is urging..."
