The Academy.
Yan Li sat cross-legged on the couch, his eyes closed as he meditated. Although he had not yet reached the realm where he could travel the sea of stars, he could faintly sense the sea of stars. Xuan Jun rested on his knees. The meager vital energy released during cultivation could also nourish him.
Li Ya enjoyed the Source Sea alone.
At this moment, the fog representing vital energy in the Source Sea had grown. It had been a thin layer at first, but now there were several layers. Li Ya became hazy within it. However, there was still a long way to go before he could connect the middle dantian and form the vital energy tide.
The Sword Heart Hidden Sword Green Lotus was the same as before, absorbing essence near the Heavenly Gate. The Heavenly Gate's expansion was very small. Without a few days of observation, there would be no change.
When Yan Li opened his eyes, it was already dusk. Ever since the battle at Black Mountain, he rarely had the chance to cultivate in the morning. He would take advantage of his free time to finish his homework. Of course, he had just broken through to Martial Master, and this was the time to accumulate energy.
"Master, is the Willow Forest Monastery really destroyed?" Fu 'er poked her head out from under the blanket.
"Yongling mobilized a large force. It shouldn't be fake," Yan Li said.
Fu 'er's eyes widened. "Isn't that a very powerful place? How could it be destroyed? Is the person who destroyed them even more powerful?"
"That's the only judgment we can make right now. After all, I can't think of any trick to destroy the monastery," Yan Li said.
"Master, Master." Fu 'er suddenly asked curiously, "What kind of place is Serenity Prefecture?"
"A place hundreds of times worse than your hometown," Yan Li said casually.
Fu 'er's eyes brightened. She rolled her eyes and said, "Master, the monastery's destruction has something to do with you."
"What does it have to do with me?"
Fu 'er's beautiful eyes twinkled like crescent moons. "Oh, Master and the scholar are like brothers. How can it have nothing to do with you! Also, the scholar usually helps Master a lot. Now that the scholar is in trouble, does Master want to deny it! "
"Like brothers? Only you can think of that! " Yan Li couldn't help but laugh. He then shook his head and said, "My relationship with her is not so much a friend, but a doctor-patient relationship. I'm a patient who doesn't listen to the doctor's advice, and she's a brilliant and responsible doctor. But she has helped me a lot, and this is undeniable. I still owe her a favor. "
"All the more reason for us to contribute!" Fu 'er climbed onto Yan Li's back and intimately touched his face. "In my opinion, the truth behind the destruction of the monastery isn't that simple. Only Master can find out the truth."
Her pretty face was smooth and light, and it was very comfortable to be rubbed against.
Yan Li was already very used to her intimate actions, but it was very easy for sparks to be ignited after too many times. He was also a young and vigorous man, so he still pulled her down from his body and said, "You urged me to go to Youzhou because you want to play with me."
Fu 'er stuck out her little tongue and made a face. "Master is really like the worm in Fu' er's stomach."
Yan Li said, "No, I left a Gu worm in your stomach, so I know what you're thinking."
"I don't believe Master's nonsense." Fu 'er lightly snorted and said proudly, "Master won't harm Fu' er. Fu 'er is Master's sweet little cotton jacket."
"You're really shameless." Yan Li rolled his eyes.
"Master actually called Fu 'er shameless. Fu' er is angry!" Fu 'er sat on Yan Li's lap and rubbed her little head against him. Her soft and delicate body twisted like a snake beauty.
The skin under the thin clothes was almost intimate. Yan Li couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly pushed her away. "Stop, I promise to take you to Youzhou. Come down first."
"Really?" Fu Er's face lit up, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"There's no benefit in lying to you." Yan Li said.
"Long live Master, I love you to death!" Fu 'er cheered. Then she moved closer and kissed Yan Li on the cheek.
"It's getting late. We'll leave tomorrow morning."
… …
It was also at this time that the team escorting the Wisdom Buddha Painting was ambushed.
This was the only valley between Ji Zhou and Youzhou. There were steep cliffs on both sides and not even a blade of grass grew on them. There were only jagged rocks and it was a very suitable place for an ambush.
Liu Chengfeng looked to be in his early thirties and seemed older than his actual age. He didn't wear armor and wore a black brocade robe. His black hair was tied into a cross crown. Although he looked very ordinary, his appearance was very spirited and it added a lot of personal charm.
When they were ambushed, he was the first to react.
"There's an ambush!" His shout was like thunder in the valley.
Just as he finished speaking, under the light of the setting sun, a large number of boulders and logs tumbled down from the cliffs on both sides. Because of the suddenness of the incident, although they had been warned, many guards still couldn't react in time. In an instant, screams rang out incessantly.
"Be careful to dodge, dodge!" Liu Chengfeng could only shout to remind his subordinates.
And in the center of the guards was the carriage with the Wisdom Buddha Painting. Lianhai Changjin jumped onto the roof of the carriage and waved her folding fan. It was as if there was an invisible force field that froze the boulders and logs that were hurtling towards the carriage in the air.
He used his eyesight to look up the cliff. He saw many figures, dressed in all kinds of strange clothing. One look and he could tell that they were first-rate. His heart skipped a beat, and he listened carefully. He heard a rough voice say, "
"Big Brother, they have cultivators. Look at that little brother on the carriage. He looks very powerful. Should we retreat?"
"Retreat my ass. We haven't made a profit in three months. If we don't do something soon, we'll all be starving! No matter how powerful a cultivator is, he can't fight against so many people. Hurry up and push, kill as many as you can! "
Lianhai Changjin immediately shouted in Liu Chengfeng's direction: "General Liu, it's a group of bandits. If you rush up and subdue the leader, they won't dare to resist anymore!"
Liu Chengfeng heard this and his expression changed: "Brothers, hold on!" His figure flashed, as if he had turned into a wisp of green smoke, smashed a log, and ran up the steep cliff like a gust of wind.
In two blinks of an eye, he crossed the cliff that was dozens of feet high. He rushed out of the cliff and looked around the group of bandits. Suddenly, he saw a bearded man running away. He shouted in a deep voice: "You still want to escape? Die!"
In his rage, he did not hold back his energy. Like a flood, it turned into a large black tornado. All the bandits that were sucked into it were crushed into powder. Other than a little bit of blood, there was no longer any trace of them.
The black tornado wreaked havoc. In less than a minute, over a hundred bandits were completely wiped out.
Liu Chengfeng let out a sigh of relief and came down from the cliff. Seeing that his brothers had suffered heavy casualties, he couldn't help but glare angrily: "Damned bandits, so bold, even daring to attack the Imperial Guards, they deserve to die!"
Lianhai Changjin looked a little uncomfortable and said: "General Liu, where it is possible to forgive people, one should forgive them. There is no need to be so ruthless!"
"Hmph, what does a young man like you know? If it was someone else today, what good could they have gotten?" Liu Chengfeng said: "Killing them is enforcing justice on behalf of heaven!"
Lianhai Changjin glanced at the carriage and thought that if it was in the past, the scholar would have already come out to stop them. The incident at the Willow Forest Monastery had a great impact on her. He didn't know if she could withstand the blow.
The troops set off again.
… …
The next day, Xiao City Magistrate's Office.
Wang Yuanlang's heart was restless for the whole night, but there was still no news of the murder in or outside of the city.
Could it be that no one found the corpses?
He was a little annoyed, so he walked out of his room and saw his deputy, Duwei, walking over and saying: "General, Provincial Governor Zhang said that he would personally bring us to the monastery to take a look."
"Now?" Wang Yuanlang frowned: "Is he investigating the case or am I investigating the case? Is he more anxious than me?"
Duwei was startled. On the road, didn't you urge us to hurry, wishing that we could grow wings and fly to the crime scene? Although he was cursing in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face. He said: "General, in your opinion, when is a suitable time for us to go?"
"A little later, don't bother me!" Wang Yuanlang waved his hand.
"Then I will go inform Provincial Governor Zhang." Duwei nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment!" Wang Yuanlang suddenly called him, his eyes flashing.
Duwei turned around: "General?"
Wang Yuanlang walked over and put his arm around his shoulder, saying in a low voice: "You are my confidant, you won't betray me, right?"
"Of course, I will not betray General even if I die." Duwei nodded heavily.
"Come closer."
Wang Yuanlang whispered in Duwei's ear: "There are two corpses in the bamboo forest outside the city. Go and see if they are still there. If they are still there, you will guard there. If they are still not discovered by dusk, come back and report to me. "
He patted Duwei's shoulder again and said: "As long as you handle this matter well, within half a year, I will guarantee you a tiger school!"
"Yes!"
… …
At the same time, 300 li from Yongling to Youzhou, a carriage was speeding forward.
"Master, why are you rushing so fast?" A clear and melodious voice came from the carriage.
The coachman's face was dark, and he only cared about rushing forward.
The person who was called master was the coachman, but the person who called someone else master was sitting in the carriage. It was really too strange.
"Other than driving the carriage, he has nothing else to do. Eat your cannon."
Inside the carriage, there were two beauties, one big and one small, playing chess. The little beauty's chess skills weren't high, and when she saw that her chess piece had been eaten, she couldn't help but think hard and didn't continue the conversation.
One of them was called Shen Liuyun, and the other was called Fu 'er.
The one who was left out was, of course, Yan Li.
"How did you know I was going to Youzhou? Are you two in cahoots? "He suddenly spoke.
Inside the carriage, Shen Liuyun couldn't help but laugh: "Fu 'er is now one of my people, and she is in charge of watching you. Don't bully her."
Yan Li said: "You are both my grand-aunts, and I am only a coachman!"
Shen Liuyun only laughed, but didn't say anything.
Thus, Yan Li focused on driving the carriage, and the speed was very fast. They arrived outside Xiao City by the evening of the same day.
At this time of the year, even Youzhou was a bit hot.
When passing through a withered bamboo forest, Shen Liuyun's voice suddenly came from the carriage: "Stop the carriage."
Yan Li immediately stopped the horse and said: "We are almost there, why?"
Shen Liuyun opened the curtain, sniffed, and said: "I think I smell a rotting corpse, go inside and take a look."
Yan Li said helplessly: "It's very normal to have corpses in the wilderness, maybe it's some wild beast."
"Go and take a look," Shen Liuyun insisted: "What if someone died here? The corpse is already stinking, it would be too pitiful to leave his corpse exposed in the wilderness like this. "
Yan Li could only agree, and walked into the withered bamboo forest. Just like Wang Yuanlang, he saw an old monk sitting on a rock, a short knife stabbed into his chest, and his head hung low. But the rotting smell didn't come from his body.
He squatted down and touched the blood, it was still warm, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
