Chapter 226 [Murderous Intention]
It looks like a grand crisis, but there is a risk of countless casualties.
In the end, it was more like a sword show.
The plot took a sudden turn for the worse, and even Li Chengqian couldn't help but be stunned by the shameless behavior of this Taoist priest.
Sure enough, truly smooth people are shameless.
Those who achieve great things do not care about small details, and the first rule is to be shameless.
Finally, Longhu Mountain explained to Li Chengqian that such a grand ceremony was to congratulate the ancestor Zhao Xuansu for successfully prolonging his life and continuing to protect Longhu Mountain.
To the outside world, the Thousand Swords Formation was a battle with Li Chengqian, but internally it was a celebration of congratulations to the ancestor.
We have both the substance and the appearance, and we can also give an explanation to the court.
Things were handled smoothly and transparently.
I don’t know if Gu Jiantang could laugh after hearing the news.
Such an ending was probably not what he expected.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Longhu Mountain. Others may not know it, but Gu Jiantang knows it clearly.
He had no good intentions in instigating Longhu Mountain to attack Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian came to Longhu Mountain to fish in Hantan.
If you can find this thing, it will be of great help to your practice.
Chunmei's understanding of the true meaning of water can also be faster.
Since their own ancestors served the master so well, Longhu Mountain naturally would not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"After Zhang Julu's sudden death, Longhu Mountain no longer had anyone who could speak for them in the imperial court, and no one they could rely on.
I wonder what instructions our ancestors gave us?"
Zhao Danping stood respectfully behind his ancestor Zhao Xuansu.
The picture is a bit funny and weird.
He was one of the four great celestial masters of dragon and tiger, yet he was extremely respectful to a child, and there was no casualness in his words.
He bowed slightly, as if afraid of angering him.
Looking at the children who are about seven or eight years old, they look very old. They stand with their hands behind their backs on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, overlooking the vast ocean.
The moment he opened his mouth, his voice and youthful appearance were completely different.
The voice is as old as a thousand-year-old monster.
"I don't care about these things, and I don't want to ask about them. I just want to say that Li Chengqian is not a simple person. As for the rest, you can figure it out on your own."
After a long silence, Zhao Danping asked tentatively:
"May I ask why you are willing to serve a young man? After all, this is an insult to your status."
The implication is that if the elixir really does exist, this is Longhu Mountain, and if all the ancestors hiding in the back mountain go out, they may be able to capture it.
"As for the reason, you can figure it out yourself. I only have one thing to say. If anyone in Longhu Mountain touches him, I will kill him and will not show any mercy."
These words were said decisively, leaving no room for negotiation.
Zhao Danping's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed and replied:
"Yes, ancestor!"
The clouds and mist on the top of the mountain make Longhu Mountain look like it is built in the sky.
Looking down, there is no bottom in the abyss, only layers of sea of clouds.
The cool breeze is so comfortable.
Li Chengqian took a look at the vegetarian meal without any meat in Longhu Mountain and decisively refused it, heading straight towards Hantan.
This is the boundary between Longhu Mountain and Huishan Mountain.
No matter whether people are from Longhu Mountain or Huishan Mountain, they can enter and exit freely.
However, whether you can come out alive after entering is another matter.
There are many ferocious beasts in the back mountain, and there are many dangers.
Fei Zhixuan didn't dare to enter easily.
The forest was deep and dense, and there were no roads to speak of.
There are thorns everywhere.
Spider webs were everywhere.
Some spiders are as big as fists and are really scary to look at.
Venomous snakes on the ground are often touched.
Poisonous scorpions and the like are also very active.
The five poisonous things can be seen everywhere here.
Most of those plants and flowers are poisonous.
The old man from the frontier was skilled in poison and witchcraft, and he was very diligent in paving the way ahead and finding the most suitable path forward.
Li Chengqian and Chunmei walked on this roughly paved road, looking around, sensing danger all around.
Suddenly, a mouse twice the size of a cat jumped out, but Chunmei caught it with one hand and threw it into the bag.
"This is jungle rat, the meat is delicious. I'll make it for you later." The old man from the frontier smiled and said, "Miss Mei, I'll be responsible for licking the dishes, oh, no, I'll wash the dishes."
He was lucky enough to get a free meal once, and after that he was tamed.
Every time he saw Chunmei cooking, he would eagerly offer to help, even if it was just washing the dishes.
This shameless old man licks the dishes before washing them.
I really can't bear to watch this.
After that, the old man never came to the table to eat again.
So disgusting!
When we arrived at the cold pond, there was a huge rock standing on the edge.
After years of exposure to wind and sun, it has fallen off severely and even cracked.
An old man in a straw hat and raincoat was sitting on a boulder, fishing calmly.
At your feet, there was a small pile of various wild fruit cores, covered with ants.
Some of the fruit cores have dried up over the years.
"Son."
Not far away, Xuanyuan Qingfeng and his men came over.
Knowing that Li Chengqian had returned to the mountain most likely for fishing, she brought people here to wait for him early.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he lowered his status.
She considers herself a maid.
In fact, she didn't want to call her that, but when she saw Chunmei's sharp eyes, she changed her words decisively.
She came to the back mountain this time, the boat was parked on the river, and she came alone with a fishing rod and bait.
"My father is in seclusion and cannot come to greet you in person, so he asked me to apologize to you."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said.
Li Chengqian didn't care about this. His eyes fell on the fishing rod and he was quite amazed.
Both the material and the craftsmanship are top-notch.
It is in no way inferior to the one in Zhao Huangchao's hand.
"I have been fishing here for decades, nearly a hundred years. Are you going to stay here too?"
Zhao Huangchao finally spoke, but did not stand up, only spoke in light words.
But in his heart he was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Xuansu.
He tampered with his body. If Zhao Xuansuru met Li Chengqian, he could drag the young man into the illusion in that instant.
Feel free to take it.
However, it seems that the two have not met yet.
This caused his plan to fail.
However, now that he has arrived at the cold pond, he has less effort.
People who go fishing value a calm mind.
At that time, he will take advantage of his unpreparedness and drag him into his own illusion, where his life or death will depend on his own thoughts.
Thinking of this, Zhao Huangchao continued fishing, but he had lost all his concentration.
Suddenly, his fishing rod shook.
Seeing this, the old man under his straw raincoat and hat looked overjoyed and hurriedly put away his fishing rod.
Unfortunately it's empty.
It escaped.
"It's all because of the arrival of these people that scared his prey!"
Thinking of this, resentment arose in my heart.
He had been sitting there in boredom for a hundred years, but now his joy was in vain.
Therefore, he had to set his sights on the elixir.
If he could get this recipe, he might have a chance of recovery.
His goal was the recipe for the elixir, not something as simple as a magic pill.
He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and pretended to continue fishing.
In fact, the murderous intent had already arisen and reached its peak.
"A hundred years, I don't have that much time, I just came to try."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he took the fishing rod from Xuanyuan Qingfeng and threw it into the cold abyss.
"Whether you can catch it or not depends entirely on chance..."
In his previous life, he also liked fishing.
But, most of the time it's the Air Force.
