A merchant ship was cruising slowly on the Fuchun River. Looking at the spring water of the river, Little Black croaked a few times.

The final battle at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain did not start. As a law enforcement elder, Murong Ming came down the mountain on behalf of Qingcheng and lowered his noble head with the Imperial Imperial Guard and the Imperial Master.

Just like the leader Yuan Qiu said, even the elders and disciples of Qingcheng are capable of fighting, but after the battle, the entire Qingcheng may be destroyed!

No one can bear this responsibility!

The heads of twelve Tribulation Realm elders were lined up at the entrance of the hall, and the ruins of the sword hall and altar were piled in front of everyone's eyes. No one dared to gamble with the imperial army at the foot of the mountain!

Not to mention that the archway at the mountain gate has not been completely cleaned up and is now in ruins.

When Li Xiuyuan turned around and left with five thousand forbidden troops, Murong Ming was stunned when he looked at the huge stone pit at the foot of the mountain.

Not to mention that such a huge stone pit can block the falling rocks from the mountain road. Even if all the elders in Qingcheng charge, they will not be able to cross it instantly.

There were hundreds of heavy weapons waiting for them behind the pit. His scalp was exploding, and he could only feel lucky.

Fortunately, the leader did not go down the mountain and fight for his life after his own persuasion.

As the boat sailed up the river, Nalanyu separated from Li Xiuyuan on the Fuchun River and headed for the imperial court with five thousand forbidden troops.

Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Hei boarded a merchant ship and sailed down the river.

Spring was lingering, it was a good time for spring outings, but Li Xiuyuan kept a charcoal fire, brewed a pot of tea, and waited to go to Liexi Town ahead to buy a few kilograms of spring tea to visit his old friend.

"Xiao Hei, do you know? I also have a shop in the town ahead?"

Thinking of the scene when he left Liexi Town, a faint smile appeared on Li Xiuyuan's lips.

It was auspicious for the dynasty, so he gave Nalanyu the seal of the Imperial Preceptor and asked him to bring it to His Majesty the Emperor.

From then on, the dynasty was the dynasty, and he was just an idler.

It turns out that letting go can be so easy and comfortable, and there is no need to carry a life-and-death brother or even a great dynasty on your head.

Xiao Hei laughed when he heard it, looked at the scenery along the river and asked, "Is there anything to eat in that town? Is Xiao Hei going to be hungry?"

In his opinion, he suffered a big loss this time.

If he followed Nalan Yu back to the imperial city, he would have to get a general. The emperor would have to reward him with at least tens of thousands of gold coins, right?

It's better now. With my brother, there is nothing left.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, reached out and poured spiritual tea into the cup, and said quietly: "Don't pay attention to the scenery there. We are here just to practice, and we have to leave sooner or later."

Xiao Hei naturally understands this truth. No matter how long he stays here, as long as he is with his brother, it doesn't matter to him.

It is said that youth is a good companion to return to hometown, but today Xiao Hei found that his brother seemed to be two years older than yesterday.

For this reason, I had to remind him: "Brother, look into the river. It seems that you have grown up a little bit overnight."

Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, looked at him and said calmly: "There is no way, you have to find someone to collect those debts. Your brother Nalan is too weak..."

Xiao Hei nodded when he heard this, lowered his head and took a sip of tea. He thought for a moment and said, "If there is any trouble in the future, please don't take action anymore. Xiao Hei will protect you."

From Xiao Hei's point of view, Wang didn't want to see his brother turn into an old man like his master before the two of them left this world.

Li Xiuyuan naturally understood his thoughts and couldn't help but look at the surging river water and sighed leisurely.

He reached out and touched Xiao Hei's shiny feathers and said: "Brother, if you want to transform yourself into a mortal in this world, you may have to go through a lot of things. This is a process..."

Even he himself doesn't know what he will look like after becoming a mortal?

Because the old Taoist priest didn't tell him that the old Taoist priest wanted him to take a completely different path to transformation from others.

After all, only becoming mortal is the beginning of his cultivation.

With the experience of unintentionally turning into a mortal in Kangchuan City, Li Xiuyuan gained a little more confidence in himself. He wanted to find a new way for the husband and wife of Xinghua Valley to turn into mortals.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but said: "Xiao Hei, we have to live a very slow life from now on. If you are bored, you can go to the Imperial City to have fun with Brother Nalan."

Life in the past was so fast that before he had time to take a good look at the apricot blossoms in Fengyun City or taste the apricot blossom cake, he was already in the imperial city thousands of miles away.

Forget the grievances and grievances in the world, the misfortune happened in vain.

He wanted to enjoy the time in front of him while he was still young.

See all the flowers in the city, brew a vat of spring apricots, find two old friends, brew a pot of spring tea, and wait for the sound of rain on the summer solstice.

I don’t know how long the merchant ship had been walking on the river. When it was about to approach Liexi Town, the boatman got into the ship.

Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he frowned and said, "Sir, there are bandits coming to the town ahead..."

Li Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stepped onto the bow of the ship, raised his eyes and looked ahead.

I saw seven or eight large ships docked at the pier of Liexi Town. On the pier, the town was already filled with thick smoke, and faint roars could be heard.

"not good!"

Li Xiuyuan suddenly thought of Xiaolian, who was married to shopkeeper Huang's son, and of Wang San, who was so good at throwing away the blame...

"The boatman can move closer, but I'm not afraid of those bandits!"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the frightened boatman and said quietly: "Xiao Hei, please clear the dock, I want to dock!"

"Brother, don't worry, Xiao Hei will go take care of them."

Xiao Hei, who flew onto Li Xiuyuan's shoulder, asked in his ear: "Brother, what should I do if I encounter a bandit with a knife?"

"What should I do? They are bandits, coming to town to rob and kill people!"

Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "First deal with the bandits on the dock, and we will push them across!"

"Brother, wait, Xiao Hei is gone!"

Turning into a black smoke, Xiao Hei flew towards the dock while the boatman was stunned.

Li Xiuyuan looked back at the boatman and shook his head. He took out a few gold coins and handed them over and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for the time being. I have a friend who lives here."

The boatman took the gold coins, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said seriously: "Mr., those bandits are not kind people, you have to be careful!"

Li Xiuyuan looked at him, shook his head, and said softly: "It's okay, I have my own sense of discretion. You can just send me to the shore and leave."

The boatman nodded, looked at the people walking around on the pier and sighed: "I don't know what the government is thinking, but the bandits on the Fuchun River have become more and more rampant in recent years."

Speaking of this, Li Xiuyuan naturally thought of the deceased Queen Li Fei.

I wonder if two people and women can create a peaceful world if they govern the country? How can they have time to care about the lives of the people on the Fuchun River when they only want to eliminate dissidents?

Amid the conversation between the two, the merchant ship finally slowly docked. Li Xiuyuan turned into light smoke and drifted towards the dock before the merchant ship stopped.

A word came in the wind, and the boatman was so frightened that he shouted: "Leave quickly."

"None of the bandits who came today need to leave here." This was Li Xiuyuan's voice.

…

When Li Xiuyuan stepped onto the pier, Xiao Hei had already cleaned up the bandits on the pier. There were only dots of fire burning on the ground, and there was not a single bandit in sight.

Li Xiuyuan released his consciousness and went to the town. Looking at everything that happened, he looked at Xiao Hei and said coldly: "Don't let any of them go, let them stay here forever."

Xiao Hei flapped his wings, flew onto Li Xiuyuan's shoulders, and shouted loudly: "Brother, don't worry, we two brothers will kill him all the way, no matter how many bandits he has."

As a result, a terrifying scene appeared in Liexi Town, just like when Li Xiuyuan was in Shura Heaven, he was killing each other step by step into Taoyuan.

The two of them walked up from the pier, with flames of destruction burning on both sides of them. Whenever they encountered bandits, they would become burning people in almost an instant.

The consciousness released by Li Xiuyuan told him that too many innocent people had died in Liexi Town today. He was furious and did not want to let go of any bandit with a sword.

There is no judgment and no words.

The two of them were like two silent gods of death. Whenever they met a bandit on the street they passed by, they would be dead the next moment.

There was no need to say hello, because what he wanted was not a trial, he wanted to get to the home of Xiaolian who called his brother somewhere on the side street as soon as possible.

Compared with the monks in Qingcheng, the current bandit Li Xiuyuan didn't even take out his bamboo sword. He only needed Xiao Hei to release the flames of death and a destructive sword energy from his eyes.

Halfway through the journey, Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "Xiao Hei, I'll go up there and you clean up all the bandits in the area. Don't let any of them escape."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei said, "Don't worry, brother, Xiao Hei will come find you after cleaning the battlefield." After saying that, he turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards the street on the right.

…

Stepping on the bluestone on the small street, Li Xiuyuan's consciousness had already locked onto a certain place. There was surprise, anger, and a hint of happiness in his eyes.

"My name is Heiyun!" said a man in black: "I am their boss, a water bandit on the Fuchun River!"

The blacksmith opposite the man in black said: "My name is Hu Ge, a blacksmith in this small town!"

Heiyun replied coldly: "In the next life, remember not to provoke the bandits on the Fuchun River!"

Right here, a group of bandits rushed into the store near Luke and pulled out the two women, with two children in the women's hands.

For a moment, children's cries, women's exclamations, and men's roars rang out in the small street!

"Don't touch my brother, sister! Put down my mother!"

A childish shout sounded from behind a group of bandits!

Watson, who rushed out, did not notice that there was a spiritual energy trembling violently in his body.

Seeing that his mother, Sister Hong, and younger brothers and sisters were about to fall under the knife of the bandits, Watson yelled crazily and shouted: "Come on!"

Before the hundreds of bandits on horseback could understand, they saw a burst of fire rushing out in front of them, and then almost all the bandits' horses were ignited by a flame that appeared out of thin air!
