At the moment when the perfect piece of jade shattered, the sky supported by nine dragon rafters could not shake. The stars in the night sky also began to shake, and as if guided by the little starlight, at this moment, they actually turned into stars all over the sky. The rain flew down, driving the stars directly towards Lin Yi on the stone platform.
Lin half-opened his mouth and remained motionless with a look of astonishment, letting the countless starlights sink into his body. Immediately, his mouth opened wider.
The meteor fell rapidly, taking away the brilliance between heaven and earth! After a few breaths, everyone's eyes darkened. All the magic disappeared, and the nine floors of Xuantian Temple were shrouded in night. Then there was a "boom", and the stone platform lost the support of the magic circle and suddenly fell to the ground.
In shock, Lin Yi jumped aside, already holding the long sword in his hand. Just before he could comment, the fluorescent light on his body flashed, and his figure gradually disappeared. However, Yu Xingzi and others were not surprised and shouted angrily: "How could this be? The half-year period has not yet come..."
At this moment, a ray of light flashed across every monk in the Xuantian Wonderland, and each monk's figure disappeared from different places in an instant with the flash of light...
…
In the evening of this day, countless rays of light suddenly flashed in the "Wangtian Valley" of Xuantianmen, and then the figures of countless monks appeared. However, every monk seemed a little confused. Others asked each other, has the half-year period arrived?
Another ray of light flashed, and a young man in gray robes appeared. When he appeared, he put away his long sword, looked around warily, then made a hand gesture and lost sight of him on the spot. At this time, Yu Xingzi’s shouts resounded throughout the valley——
"Send a message to everyone at Xuantianmen to arrest Zhengyang Zong Linyi!"
…
On a remote country path, a whirlwind suddenly blew by, and then a staggering figure of a young man appeared out of thin air. It was Lin Yi who was breathing heavily.
How many times have you used the "Wind Escape Technique"? Can not remember. The moment Lin Yi appeared in the "Wangtian Valley" of Xuantianmen, he fled away as if desperate. Not knowing the direction, he just kept moving forward. After about a day, until the spiritual power in his body could no longer be sustained, he finally remembered to take a breath.
Flying with a sword? forget it! Flying with a sword in the realm of Xuantianmen is almost like seeking death. But, how far did you escape? What is this place?
Lin Yi looked back and forth, and the spiritual power around him disappeared. After thinking for a while, he used the 'Phantom Spirit Technique', and his facial features changed to look similar to Yuan Feng's. He put away the purple gold gourd and Qiankun bag around his waist, and then stepped forward.
Beside a pond, there are several weeping willow trees in the shade. Next to the three or five thatched cottages, wild flowers are fragrant.
A village man in his forties or fifties, with simple clothes and a good-natured appearance, was busy guarding the duck shed. From the kitchen not far away, a woman's voice came: "It's time to turn the wood... It's almost dinner time..."
After tightening the hemp rope on his hand and slapping his chin, the man straightened up from the side of the duck shed and said with a smile: "His master said, there is a chance of entering the escort agency this time..."
"His master is quite a capable man, but...it's always uneasy to rely on a stick to eat..." the woman responded.
"Haha! His master is taking care of him, so he won't be in the way...who is this?" Turning around, the man saw a young man approaching and asked in surprise. After noticing the movement outside, she thought it was her son who had returned. The woman hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands with a coarse cloth apron, and then froze on the spot.
"Uncle, aunt, I came here for a leisurely trip, but I lost my way..." Lin Yigong cupped his hands and explained the reason.
The person who came was young, with clear features and a faint smile on his face. The gray cloth robe he was wearing looked plain, but he looked relaxed and relaxed. However, what is there to do in this remote countryside? Who would come here to hang out?
The couple was a little stunned and didn't know how to reply. They looked at each other in confusion, and then the man spoke up: "This young man is a distinguished guest! Invite me here..." Halfway through, he remembered to return the favor and smiled awkwardly.
The woman hurriedly took out two stools from the thatched hut, holding the apron in her hand and spinning it around. Then she suddenly ran to the water tank, but saw that the young man had already walked closer, picked up the water ladle, and raised her head. Shou started to drink.
"Gududu" took a gulp of cold water and wiped his mouth happily. Lin Yi smiled at the woman, turned around and walked to the stool to sit down. Seeing his relaxed and casual appearance, the man became much more calm.
"You idiot, go prepare some food!" After saying hello, the man chuckled, pulled up a stool and sat next to Lin Yi, chatting with each other.
This is the boundary of Chuqi County, thousands of miles away from Wangzi County where Xuantianmen is located. The man's surname was Qiao, and the couple had a son named Qiao Mumu. He had practiced boxing and kicking with an elder of the same clan since he was a child, and he had some brute strength. A few days ago, my son sent word that he was recommended by his master to try his skills at the Qiao Family Escort Agency. For this reason, the couple was very excited. Qiao Mutou is already a good young man in his twenties. If he can find a job in the escort agency and find a girl from a good family to start a family, he will have a bright future.
A circle of low fences surrounded the simple courtyard in front of the thatched cottage. A few ducks staggered from the pond, quacking. The sound of pots and pans and the aroma of dishes came from the kitchen. The leisurely and peaceful things in front of him made Lin Yi forget the thrills of the past few days. He smiled faintly, listened silently, and immersed himself in this rare tranquility.
Seeing that Lin Yi had a Taoist bun on his head, with a rather good dragon hairpin on it, and his gray robe was different from ordinary people's clothes, it was hard to tell his origin.
Good at Taoism, and wandering around the world! This is what Lin Yi said. He was out there all day, so he must be a person with knowledge and ability. The men of the Qiao family thought so and respected him even more.
During the meal, Qiao Mu came back excitedly. Seeing that there were guests at home, he was a little surprised and immediately called the other party a brother. After that, he jumped into the pond and caught two fresh fish to entertain the guests.
Qiao Mutou was only in his early twenties and was very burly. His dark face always had a simple and honest smile. When he heard that Lin Yi was lost here, he laughed and said that the other party was not a Taoist, but a scholar who was traveling for study. Otherwise, how could a wandering person get lost?
How could this be said by a countryman? Before Lin Yi could get curious, Mutou confessed. All his knowledge came from his master. And his master had a wide range of knowledge in the escort agency and was a well-known figure in the villages.
After Mutou came back, the thatched cottage became much more lively. While chatting, lunch was ready. The small dining table was moved to the shade of the tree outside the fence. On the left, there was smoke from the thatched cottage, and on the right, there was a clear water pond. There was a gentle breeze blowing, making people feel cool and comfortable.
Two farm dishes, a large pot of fish soup, Mutou and his sons and Lin Yi sat around. Old Qiao apologized and said that the simple food was not respectful, and took out a wine jar to persuade him to drink. Qiao, who was eating alone next to him, also smiled.
There are not so many etiquettes at the wine table of the country people. After drinking a bowl of wine together, the three of them stopped being polite and ate and drank.
The fish was delicious and the soup was mellow. It was a rare delicacy! Lin Yi, who had not eaten for a long time, couldn't help but let go of his stomach and kept shouting "How delicious!" The guests were in high spirits, which made the three members of the Qiao family smile and keep asking for more.
After the meal, Mu Tou had something to do in the neighboring village, and asked Lin Yi to rest here for one night and go to the town together tomorrow morning. The latter agreed without hesitation, declined Old Qiao's company, and went to sleep alone under the willow tree by the pond.
Old Qiao went to work on his duck shed again, but Qiao was mending a few old clothes in front of the door. The couple was busy, but they both looked relaxed.
The leisure of a farmer's life is busy at hand, but idle at heart.
Lin Yi, lying under the shade of the willow tree, turned his head, put his hands behind his head, and leisurely crossed his legs, but he was looking at the drooping willow branches, lost in thought... It was as if the stars in the sky were falling down... And turned into pieces of talismans and flew into his body, gathering in his sea of consciousness, and then, one character after another was connected together...
Lin Yi closed his eyes under the shade of the tree, and his mind moved, and the words in the depths of his consciousness came one after another...
