Chapter 291: Fighting for Lingshi(1/2)
The old Taoist priest did not tell Li Xiuyuan when he would leave Xuanwu Continent.
In the dream, Li Xiuyuan was thinking that there was a challenger outside the door, and even forgot to ask the master about himself turning black again.
He always thought it was caused by his evil spirit entering his body.
Although it won't affect his life, he doesn't want to be an alien in the eyes of others when he goes out.
The old Taoist priest came and went without a trace as before, but asked Li Xiuyuan to brew two jars of spiritual wine for him.
In his opinion, the wine made by the big man Zhu Yan is not as good as that of his disciples and has no soul.
Li Xiuyuan enjoyed the quiet time alone in Xinghua for two days, playing the unpleasant divine tune from time to time.
Most of the time I just lay under the eaves, smelling the fragrance of flowers in the garden, watching the sky light until dark.
Early in the morning on the fourth day after returning to Loulan, Situ Tianxing led five workers and knocked on the door of the apricot garden.
At this time, Duanmu Fei of Tianlong Holy Land was still dreaming in the inn, and no one blocked the door to inquire about the owner of the Apricot Garden.
All the necessary items for brewing have been prepared, just waiting for the fire to start brewing today.
The deserted apricot garden suddenly became lively. Li Xiuyuan arranged for someone to clean the large water tank, arranged for two people to wash rice, and arranged for one person to make a fire.
In less than an hour, the first pot of spiritual rice was steaming, and the garden was filled with a faint aroma of spiritual rice.
Li Xiuyuan had no time to pay attention to Situ Tianxing, who was standing aside and watching the excitement.
While he was busy cooking the spirit rice, he said to him: "Please, Lord City Lord, tell the guy guarding the door that I will accept his challenge at the City Lord's Mansion in five days..."
Situ Tianxing was stunned, looked at him and asked, "Are you sure?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said helplessly: "Otherwise? Is it possible to let him be the doorkeeper outside the door?"
Situ Tianxing nodded and said with a smile: "There is a high platform outside the city lord's palace. How do you want to compete with him?"
Li Xiudi thought for a while, looked at him and smiled and said, "He is here to cause trouble for me. I can't make it any easier. Let him use 20,000 spirit stones as a bonus. It just so happens that I still owe you spirit stones."
Situ Tianxing couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I think this is the case. There is no reason to come to your door to cause trouble for no reason and not pay the price."
Li Xiuyuan shrugged and replied: "If I win, the spirit stone belongs to you. If I lose, you return the spirit stone to him."
In his opinion, since this guy came from the Holy Land of Heavenly Dragon, he would not be short of money and could just return the spiritual stone used to build the Apricot Garden to Situ Tianxing.
In this way, this yard will be legitimately owned by him.
Situ Tianxing clapped his hands and said, "I'll take care of this matter. I'll go out and tell him and ask him to prepare the spiritual stones."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said seriously: "Tell him not to challenge him without the spirit stone. I don't have time."
Situ Tianxing waved his hand and walked out with his master.
...
The spring breeze blew the bamboo peaks of Tianyun Mountain. With the help of Wang Qiang, Ping An, and Ling'er, Chen Xiaoyan brewed a lot of bamboo leaf spirit wine.
Out of love, she even picked some peach blossoms this time and used the washed petals to make wine.
In her opinion, even if her brewing skills are not as good as those of her senior brothers, she still has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.
Nalan Ruoyu agreed with her move. After all, just like cooking, you always have to try different methods. What if you succeed in brewing a new vat of spiritual wine?
Only Meng Shentong at the foot of the mountain was thinking about the spiritual wine that his disciple had hidden in the cave at the top of the Bamboo Peak.
This has gone through the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Without even thinking about it, the taste will definitely be unforgettable.
After enduring it for a few days, he couldn't bear it anymore and came to Zhufeng to look for Nalan Ruoyu. If there was no more news about Situ Tianxing, he decided to take Ping'an to Loulan for a walk.
When he was sitting in the Yaoguang Hall, before he finished drinking the Erdao Ling Tea, the sound of little Ling'er shouting could be heard outside the hall.
"Grandpa Meng, Xiao Ling'er has made a fortune."
Looking at Meng Shentong sitting opposite Nalan Ruoyu, Xiao Ling'er shouted loudly.
Meng Shentong looked at the little Ling'er who was trotting along, her face flushed, and asked: "What happened? You are now a monk. Don't you know how to breathe?"
Xiao Ling'er shook her head, held his hand and giggled: "Little Ling'er and her sister just broke into the cave where my brother practices. It's so fragrant..."
Meng Shentong was startled, looked at Nalan Ruoyu and said loudly: "God has opened his eyes, what are you waiting for... hurry up and move them all back."
Nalan Ruoyu was startled, looked at Xiao Ling'er and asked, "Did you really go in?"
Just here, Chen Xiaoyan's voice came from outside the hall: "Master, the prohibition on the cave seems to have disappeared."
Nalan Ruoyu was startled, looked at her and replied: "You and Xiao Ling'er stay here, I'll go to the back mountain to have a look."
After saying that, he blew up a breeze and disappeared into the Yaoguang Palace with Meng Shentong.
Xiao Ling'er looked at Chen Xiaoyan who walked in and said, "Sister, is my brother back?"
Chen Xiaoyan shook her head, sighed and said: "This thing is weird. We have to try this cave every time we go back to the back mountain. It's not like you don't know."
Xiao Ling'er nodded and replied: "Then my brother must be back. At least he has returned to the Apricot Garden in Loulan City."
On the top of the mountain behind Zhufeng, in a cave.
Meng Shentong took a spoonful of spiritual wine and handed it to Nalan Ruoyu, who was facing him, and said with a smile: "Is it possible that my disciple secretly came back and slipped into this abyss?"
Nalan Ruoyu took a shallow sip of the spirit wine and let out a cheer of satisfaction.
He looked at Meng Shentong and said with a smile: "Even if he wants to practice here, he will come to see me first... Don't forget that before he left, he promised to help me find a ten-thousand-year miracle medicine."
Meng Shentong nodded and said thoughtfully: "Is it possible that this magic circle is..."
Before he finished speaking, Nalan Ruoyu waved his hand and said: "No matter who did it, hurry up and move all the things here. Half of it belongs to you and half of it belongs to me."
...
Inside Loulan City, the living room of the palace.
The master of the Wang family, dressed in a green shirt, looked at Duanmu Qingyun in front of him, frowned and asked: "...Did Situ Tianxing tell you this?"
Duanmu Qingyun, who was wearing a white shirt, nodded and replied: "Yes, I was sitting in front of the Xingyuan gate at that time, and he pushed the door open and came out. It seemed to me that the guy had come back."
The master of the Wang family thought for a while, looked at Duanmu Qingyun and asked: "How do you want to fight him in this battle..."
Duanmu Qingyun looked at him, shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "I can't afford to fight. City Lord Situ said that guy wanted me to pay a challenge fee of 20,000 spirit stones before he would fight with me..."
From Duanmu Qingyun's point of view, no one would carry twenty thousand spirit stones with him. All his fellow apprentices could only carry five thousand spirit stones together.
I originally thought that when the owner of the Apricot Garden returned to Loulan, I would be able to legitimately challenge him, but I didn't expect that I would meet a guy who was greedy for money.
Situ Tianxing told him that he was not allowed to mess around in Loulan City, and he was not allowed to forcefully break into other people's homes.
Otherwise, the City Lord's Mansion will intervene, and the Dragon Holy Land will be solely responsible for any problems that arise.
And he did not get the approval of the headmaster at all for his trip, nor did he notify his master. How could he dare to cause trouble in Loulan City? After all, this is the territory of Tianyun Holy Land.
The master of the Wang family couldn't help frowning when he heard this, looked at him and said: "The challenge was raised by you, it is reasonable for him to raise the conditions..."
"I can't handle your matter, you'd better hire someone else."
After all, Duanmu Qingyun couldn't think of a reason to spend 20,000 spirit stones to fight with an inexplicable guy. He planned to go home.
"Don't worry, we will come up with this spiritual stone, you just need to...the conditions we promised before remain unchanged, how about it?"
How could the master of the Wang family let go of this great opportunity? The Wang family had already lost too many people in the Chen family's affairs, and he would not let his disciples take action again.
Since there is a ready-made reason in front of him, and no matter what the final outcome is, it will not involve him, he will never let go of this great opportunity.
Duanmu Qingyun was shocked. He didn't expect that the Wang family was willing to pay 20,000 spirit stones to let him go find trouble for that guy. Thinking that he had been waiting for so long, he would not be willing to fight without a fight.
After a moment of silence, he looked up at a white cloud floating outside the living room and said in a deep voice: "Then just wait a few more days."
...
In Phoenix City, in the palace, Yuwen Liuli and other guests arrived who had recently separated.
Tantai Mingyue couldn't help Murong Zhilan, who was shouting all day long, so she left Baili Yunyan in the holy land. The two of them left the master soon after the beginning of spring and came all the way to Phoenix City.
Yuwen Liuli, who was in the garden looking at the spring scenery in the garden, was stunned. He looked at the two girls following his brother and couldn't help laughing.
Like a bird that has been in a cage for a long time, it calls out happily.
"Sister Mingyue, why are you thinking of coming to see me? And where is sister Yunyan?" Yuwen Liuli rushed out of the pavilion, holding Murong Zhilan's hand and giggling.
Tantai Mingyue sighed and said quietly: "We all need to practice, how can we run out every day? If junior sister hadn't been clamoring to go to Loulan to find Shura every day, we would still be staying in the Holy Land."
Yu Wenjie looked at the three women and sighed, and said helplessly: "If you want to go to Loulan this time, I don't have the energy to accompany you."
Yuwen Liuli waved to him and said, "Don't regret it if you don't go, brother. Maybe that Shura guy is already making wine in the apricot garden."
Murong Zhilan also laughed and said: "The princess is right, after so long, he must be thinking about this newly built home."
Tantai Mingyue looked at the two of them and smiled bitterly: "What if he hasn't come back yet?"
Yuwen Liuli took the two of them by the hand and walked into the pavilion, stretched out her hand and poured three cups of spiritual tea.
Looking at the sky, he said: "Then let's eat the spring apricots and then go to Tianyun Mountain to play..."
Yu Wenjie sighed and said with a wry smile: "Sister, are you doing off-roading more and more?"
Yuwen Liuli looked at him and smiled: "Ximen Yuyan is very timid. When we were separated last time, she invited us to go to Tianyun Mountain when we have time..."
Tantai Mingyue thought for a while, looked at the three of them and said seriously: "Loulan City is not far from Tianyun Holy Land, we can go and visit it."
