Kuzhu Mountain covers an area of ​​300 miles, with beautiful mountains and rivers, lush greenery, and a beautiful scenery of vast forests and sea of ​​bamboos.

The place where the earth veins gather is where the Xunfengguan Mountain Gate is located.

Shuofang City is located in the southwest of Kuzhu Mountain. It is more than 780 miles away. Even if Li Yan enters the realm of Qi refining and has high-level Qinggong, he will have to travel all day and night for four days.

This also made Li Yan more eager to learn escape skills.

The young man made up his mind to solve the suspected demonic trouble in Shuofang City this time, so he came back to exchange his Taoist skills for a superior escape method.

Whether it was the Taoist disciples from Qiyuan who cut paper into a horse or the Taoist disciples from Qingyuan's horse armor skills, they both made him salivate.

As for now, I can only make do with borrowing ordinary horses raised in the zoo.

It is said to be an ordinary horse, but it also has extraordinary foot power and can run a hundred and twenty miles easily. This is because the food and grass used to raise ordinary horses in the veterinary hospital are also mixed with some spiritual fruits left over from eating by exotic animals.

Li Yan's mission when he went down the mountain this time was to investigate the fish demon disaster in Shuofang City.

Investigate rather than solve, which is why a Taoist disciple who is new to Qi Refining can also take on a task involving traces of demons.

Of course, Li Yan's trip was not just for the high amount of merit behind the mission.

What he was more concerned about was Anyang, a Yongguo capital city he would pass by on the way to Shuofang.

That was the place where he lived in his first life, and it was also the soil where Zeng took root and grew up.

Li Yan wanted to know whether the various experiences he had experienced in the past were just a dream, or whether they had truly left traces in the years.

…

On the way, spring rain suddenly fell from the sky.

It can be seen that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by bursts of spring thunder, and it is obvious that it will not stop for a while.

Li Yan himself has true energy to protect his body, and the rain cannot come close to him. It is no problem to rush in the rain, but the horse cannot.

The ordinary horses raised in the veterinary hospital are worth five Daogong if you rent one. If something unexpected happens, you will have to pay an extra Daogong as compensation. Li Yan does not have that much Daogong to compensate the animal to the veterinary hospital.

Therefore, we can only temporarily find a place to take shelter from the wind and rain.

Fortunately, there is no end to the road, and after walking for a cup of tea, he finally found a Taoist temple sheltered from the rain in the jungle not far from the road.

The sky was getting dark, and the flickering candlelight could still be faintly seen.

Li Yan prided himself on being an expert and bold, but he was not afraid of encountering strong men cutting the path. He immediately turned his horse's head and walked straight towards the Taoist temple.

…

It is said to be a Taoist temple, but in fact it is just two or three small houses made of broken bricks and tiles. Over the years, not a single valuable thing is left inside. Only the word Qingguan is vaguely left on the door plaque.

It can make people realize that this is the Taoist view.

After settling his mount, Li Yan walked into the temple and frowned.

It was not because of the thick cobwebs that had formed over the years. On the contrary, the ground in the temple had been swept clean, and even the dusty incense burner at Xuanjun's feet had been re-inserted with three sticks of incense as an offering.

And it was a father and daughter who did all this, drinking hot water and dry food by the campfire.

The two of them looked at the door with hesitant expressions. The rapid sound of horse hooves had just frightened them. They were relieved when they found that the person who entered the door was just a Taoist priest with a clear face.

Li Yan frowned, not because there was anything wrong with the father and daughter, but because the other party's vigilant look clearly didn't say "I am a big trouble" on his face.

But no matter what, it was someone else who found the place first. You can't just occupy the magpie's nest and despise someone else as a burden. Let's drive the father and daughter out of the Taoist temple!

"Blessed by the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I am a poor Taoist who is practicing mystical science. When I pass through the treasure land, it happens to be a thunderstorm night. I hope that the two benefactors will be convenient and lend me a temporary accommodation for one night. I will leave tomorrow when the rain stops."

After sighing, Li Yan bowed his head and introduced himself to the two of them.

The Yong Kingdom was a Taoist state. When they heard that Li Yan was a Taoist practicing at Shanmen, the father and daughter hurriedly got up and bowed in return.

"Taoist Master, you can do what you want. This Taoist temple is originally for passers-by to rest. It is not unique to my father and daughter, so why should I make it a convenience?"

The middle-aged man quickly waved his hand and said.

He also took the initiative to take Li Yan's luggage for him. He didn't feel embarrassed when he was refused, but he glanced at Li Yan's crisp Taoist robes from the corner of his eye.

After putting down his luggage, Li Yan did not go near the campfire to use dry food.

After all, Taoist disciples who have entered the realm of Qi refining no longer eat fireworks in the world, and only eat some fairy dew and spiritual fruits in the mountains.

Li Yan meditated on the spot, entered the inner state of concentration, and soon entered the state of forgetfulness.

Seeing this, the girl who wanted to kindly ask Li Yan if she wanted to eat dry food with her was immediately stopped by her father.

Pointing to the dry clothes on Li Yan's body, the man shook his head, silently rejecting the girl's kindness.

Anyone who can brave such heavy rain without getting his clothes wet must have great skills.

This kind of person is not something that a father and daughter from a poor family can mess with. The best result is to have nothing to do with each other and forget about the world.

…

The night seems darker and darker.

Just as the girl was dozing off and leaning into her father's arms, suddenly there was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside the house, which immediately disturbed the weak and flickering candlelight in the audience.

Peng!

The main entrance of the Taoist temple was suddenly kicked open, and a group of masked men with strong attire and weapons broke in.

The leader, holding a simple knife, looked at the shivering father and daughter in the corner, and finally couldn't help but let out a weird laugh.

"Run away, why don't you run away?"

"You two, father and daughter, are quite capable of running away. You are so close to each other that your brothers have to chase you in the rain in the middle of the night."

"That old man Zeng Xuezhe was so bold. He actually dared to openly write a letter to ridicule Nine Thousand Years Old. He is simply impatient to live. It doesn't matter that he is dead. It's just a pity that all of your Zeng family have to be buried with him."

"Anyang's Zeng family, the famous third-level Jinshi, is now going to end up being ruined!"

"But don't worry, the people who are going to kill your eldest and second brothers are already on the way. It won't be long before your family of hundreds will be reunited in the underworld!"

The leader's words made Zeng Yuanqing's blood rush to his head.

Thinking of his old father who was old and white-haired and was still being taken to the execution ground to be beheaded, of his honest and honest brother, and of his wife who committed suicide by hanging from a beam, Zeng Yuanqing's eyes were split.

"You are a remnant of a loyal and loyal person, and you will die a good death. Even if I act like a ghost, I will not let you go!"

"Hey, I'm so scared!"

He let out a funny cry from his mouth, and the leader didn't waste any time with him. He raised his simple knife and tried to remove Zeng Yuanqing's head from his neck, and went to deal with Jiu Qiansui.

Zeng Yuanqing closed her eyes in despair.

However, after waiting for a long time, the expected blade did not fall on him.

Zeng Yuanqing bravely opened his eyes, only to see the masked man who had been arrogant just now, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was motionless, still maintaining the motion of raising the knife to strike.

Not only that, the remaining six or seven masked men were motionless.

It seemed like a ridiculous and ridiculous farce was being staged.

After a long time, a voice slowly came from beside him.

"Let me ask you, who are your ancestors?"
