The sun set and the moon rose. Moonlight shone into the cave, illuminating the two men as they drank. One was bald and dressed in pink, the other was built like an iron tower. ("")
Alcohol was a wonderful thing that could bring people closer, but it had to be drunk.
Li Qingshan was drinking to his heart's content. He sat in the pile of grain, smelling the natural fragrance of the grain and letting down his guard.
Drinking with the silly Milliped was more enjoyable than any banquet he had ever been to. There was no scheming or conflict of interest. Eating was for the sake of eating, and drinking was for the sake of drinking.
After drinking over a hundred jars of alcohol, the two men's stomachs bulged, and their eyes became hazy.
Milliped's shiny bald head was even more dazzling in the moonlight. Li Qingshan couldn't help but reach out to touch it. "You're not bad. You don't have any bad intentions. No, you don't have any."
Milliped smiled foolishly. "You're good too. Underground, do you want to go?"
Li Qingshan shook his head like a rattle drum. "No, no, I still have things to do. If you want to eat, come find me. It's my treat! "
Milliped was a bit disappointed, but after hearing Li Qingshan's words, he said yes. Suddenly, his eyes became hazy, and he fell to the ground, snoring like thunder.
Li Qingshan laughed and scolded him. "You eat and sleep, and eat after you're full. You don't have any distracting thoughts. How enviable." He raised his head and yawned, sinking his body into the golden grains of millet. The mountain of millet collapsed, covering most of his body like a blanket. He also fell into a deep sleep.
Little Ann came down and cleaned up the leftovers. He squatted at the entrance of the cave, keeping watch for Li Qingshan.
In a daze, Li Qingshan realized he had become a child again. His small hands and feet, wearing clothes full of patches, he ran wildly through the boundless wilderness, chasing the sun in the sky.
Sweat poured down, but he didn't wipe it. His feet were pierced by sharp stones, but he didn't care either. He tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled over and got up from the ground. Without stopping, he stared at the sun in the sky.
A huge green mountain blocked his way. He couldn't stop in time and bumped into the mountain. However, it wasn't as hard as he had imagined. An incomparably huge bull head stretched out from the side of the mountain. It looked at him with its moist eyes and said in a booming voice, "What's the rush? It's not like the sun will run away. "
Startled, he climbed up the back of the ox that was like a mountain ridge and looked at the sun in the sky. The sun really did not run away. He touched his waist and found a bamboo flute. It was rough but familiar. He picked it up and played it.
The sun and moon alternated. The warm noon sun hung lazily in the sky, shining its warm light into the cave.
Li Qingshan opened his eyes and yawned. He saw that Milliped was still asleep. He had no idea when he would wake up. Leaping out of the hole, he felt refreshed. The autumn scenery in the distant mountains was pleasant, making him feel refreshed and carefree.
It seemed like he hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time. Ever since he came to this dangerous place in Jiaping, he was surrounded by enemies and danger at every step. He could only continuously cultivate and break through again. Even when he was sleeping, he would think about how to increase his cultivation and how to deal with his enemies.
The string in his heart had been stretched taut, and a lot of fatigue had accumulated in his heart. Even he himself didn't notice it. After drinking to his heart's content and having a great dream, the string finally relaxed.
Thinking back to last night's dream, he laughed and said to himself, "Yes, what's the rush?" He took out the long forgotten flute from the depths of his hundred treasures pouch.
The sound of the flute echoed in the autumn mountains. Milliped opened his eyes, and Little Ann listened quietly.
From that day onwards, Little Ann noticed that Li Qingshan smiled more often and played the flute more often. He would often pull her along and ask her to teach him how to write, or take her for a stroll in the nearby forest of withered leaves.
As they walked, he would suddenly stop and look at Little Ann with a solemn expression. Little Ann immediately became nervous. She clenched her fists and thought to herself, "It's coming!"
Li Qingshan's lips quickly opened and closed. "Eat grapes without spitting out the grape skin. Don't eat grapes until you spit out the grape skin."
Little Ann hurriedly stammered, "Eat grapes without spitting out the grape skin. Don't eat grapes until you spit out the grape skin."
This was a trick that Li Qingshan had come up with to train her to speak. It was called "Qingshan, teach me jingles", but now Li Qingshan was completely immersed in seeing her red face and the cute sight of her lisping out the jingle.
He reached out and pinched her little face. "That's what you get for laughing at my ugly handwriting!"
Little Ann turned her head away in annoyance, not letting him pinch her. However, she was in an extremely good mood. Although being obedient did not affect his cultivation, she still yearned for his concern and not to be separated by a stone door. Holy Church
In reality, Li Qingshan did not stop cultivating. He still ate the pills every day, but he was much less nervous now. No matter what he did, he paid attention to the path of relaxation. If he was always tense on a daily basis, it would be easy for him to be overly nervous when something big happened, and his mind would not be as sharp.
Moreover, his responsibility was not just to protect her.
Before he knew it, more than a month had passed.
All the Qi Gathering pills had been used up, and the demonic aura on Li Qingshan's body had reached an unprecedented level. There was still no news from Qian Rongzhi, but he was not anxious. Instead, he began to eat the Hundred Herb Pills.
The first snow of the year came very early. When the first snowflake landed on the tip of Li Qingshan's nose, he was staring at Milliped like a tiger watching its prey. He was glaring at Milliped fiercely, while Milliped was looking at Xiao An nervously. More accurately, he was looking at the dice cup in Xiao An's hand.
A few wine jars were turned upside down, forming a table. There were bowls of wine on it.
Li Qingshan and Milliped sat opposite each other. Little Ann sat at the side, acting as the dealer.
Little Ann rolled up her sleeves, revealing her lotus-like arms. She smiled and opened the dice cup.
Li Qingshan laughed. "Fifteen points, drink!" He grabbed a handful of peanuts from the pile of food beside him, peeled them, and tossed them into his mouth.
Milliped chuckled, picking up the wine bowl and drinking. Compared to the first time Li Qingshan saw him, he was much more energetic, and a little chubbier.
Little Ann picked up a long peanut kernel and said to Milliped, "Does it look like you?" Her words were clear, like the tinkling of spring water or the humming of a zither. The "Qingshan Will Teach You Jingles" homeschooling had achieved initial success.
Milliped looked at himself, then at the peanuts, and nodded. "Yes!"
"Here!" Little Ann placed the peanut kernel in Milliped's palm.
Milliped immediately tossed it into his mouth.
"You ate yourself!"
Li Qingshan was about to say something, but his expression froze. Little Ann immediately turned to look at Li Qingshan. Come on! Her jingles were spoken even faster than Li Qingshan's.
Li Qingshan smiled at her and took out the messaging talisman. The talisman burned quickly, turning into ashes in the blink of an eye, scattering with the wind.
Qian Rongzhi's message had finally arrived!
Li Qingshan stood up abruptly, and so did Milliped. His mouth was wide open, his face full of shock.
Li Qingshan pressed down on his shoulder and pushed him back down. "I'm going out to do something. I'll be back soon!"
Li Qingshan didn't ask for Milliped's help, nor did he plan to use him against the door. He was a great drinking buddy, and that was all. He had to take care of his own business.
Li Qingshan and Little Ann, one big and one small, disappeared from the cave. Little Ann even turned around and waved at him.
Milliped sat there in a daze. Suddenly, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. Snowflakes fell into his bowl of wine. He took a bite of his favorite rice, but it seemed to have lost some of its flavor. He scratched his bald head in confusion.
In the house, Qian Rongzhi was deep in thought with a frown. She went through the plan in detail, including how to start, how to deal with the aftermath, and how to escape if they failed. She made sure there were no loopholes.
Suddenly, she raised an eyebrow and turned around. "You're finally here."
Li Qingshan happened to be standing behind her. Apart from the fact that he still seemed extremely sturdy, he had basically returned to his original state. This was the result of strengthening his cultivation of the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression recently.
He saw the unusual Black Wolf uniform on her with a single glance. "You're a Black Wolf commander now?"
Qian Rongzhi stood up and spun around, showing off. "How is it? Not bad, right?"
"Not bad."
"Thank you. Looks like you've been doing well recently."
"It's been alright."
They greeted each other like old friends, using fake etiquette to maintain their fragile alliance.
Before Li Qingshan could ask, Qian Rongzhi said, "The fish has already taken the bait. According to your request, I'm only fishing for the west gate."
Li Qingshan asked in confusion, "How did you do it?" Luring people out of the door was not difficult, but luring out Grandma Ximen without alerting the other people outside was anything but simple.
Qian Rongzhi did not explain. She gently stroked the Black Wolf Tablet on her waist and smiled. "This is my job. It's all up to you now. If I don't get what I want, I won't let it go."
"As long as you do your job, you obviously don't have to worry about me." With absolute confidence, Li Qingshan adjusted himself to a peak condition. He needed a battle. His relaxed nerves were gradually being pulled taut as his battle intent rose up.
Qian Rongzhi changed the topic. "Though, I still have to prepare for the worst! Before we confirm the number of enemies, I'd advise you to hide your presence properly. "
Li Qingshan narrowed his eyes. Qian Rongzhi said calmly, "No plan is absolutely perfect. Even I can't eliminate all accidents. I don't need to say more about this. Before thinking about victory, think about failure."
"Of course." Even if Qian Rongzhi did not say it, Li Qingshan would also prepare for the worst and not completely trust her. She said this to clarify that even if something unexpected happened, it was not her who wanted to harm him.
Li Qingshan smiled. "Anyway, you only have one life. Cherish it!"
"Of course!" Qian Rongzhi also smiled. She knew that no matter what she said, she would not be able to deceive Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan did not expect that the place Qian Rongzhi chose would be here.
He lifted the edge of the bamboo hat and looked at the towering Qian family's mansion.
It was normal for her to choose a place she was familiar with. However, she had killed nearly a thousand people here. Ordinary people would avoid it, but she did not. Everything was the best choice.
Li Qingshan came to the other side of the mountain and found a cave entrance in the withered grass and fallen leaves. He entered it and gradually widened. In the end, it became a huge natural cave.
Li Qingshan measured the height and even tried to transform. Then, he began to make preparations. He constantly observed the cave. First, he pasted seven talismans on the hidden stalagmite at the top of the cave. Then, he passed the talismans to Little Ann.
Even a lion would use all its strength to catch a rabbit. Moreover, this time, it was an extremely dangerous beast.
