In these days, Old Man Zhang accepted Li Xiuyuan's request and kept reinforcing the stone wall of Shura Village. It took him twenty days to complete all the processes.

Both the craftsmen of Tianfeng City and the villagers of Shura Village were very happy.

Because they all received double their wages, they could live a happy New Year happily.

The stone walls in Shura Village are all built to a height of two feet, and the stone walls on both sides of the gatehouse are even three feet high.

The blue stone wall is not outstanding, and the Shura Village under it is like a paradise.

But the runes on every stone wall exuded a chilling chill, which shocked passers-by and did not dare to get closer and take a closer look.

Because this is Shura Village, a small village where six thousand troops have been buried.

In Li Xiuyuan's words, next year's apricot flowers will be more colorful and next year's spring apricots will be sweeter.

The only pity is that his master can no longer eat it.

It took more than twenty days of work to finally bury the formation disks of the Four Elephants Formation, the Bagua Formation, the Sixty-Four Way Bodhi Formation, and the three large formations outside the wooden house and around the high platform.

The 108th Route Arhat Formation was placed under the stone wall of Shura Village. He did not do this to anyone else. It was all done by him and Old Man Zhang, and even the villagers of Shura Village did not know.

Old man Zhang set a rule for the Shura villagers, that is, no matter adults, old people or children, they are not allowed to approach the stone wall of Shura Village.

Those who violate the rules will be driven out of Shura Village, while those who violate the rules may be injured by the formation and die without a burial place.

On the night when the Four Elephant Formation was formed, Li Xiuyuan and Old Man Zhang tested its power. They saw four golden lights rising into the sky from the four corners of the high platform, which even those in the later stages of Dongtian's cultivation would be hard-pressed to match.

Old man Zhang, who was sitting in front of the wooden house, stared blankly at the four killer golden lights and was speechless for a long time.

"With such power, no wonder you are not afraid of those guys coming to trouble you."

Only then did Old Man Zhang understand why Li Xiuyuan faced the demonic army so calmly.

"We will build one at the intersection at the foot of the mountain, and then set up a base in the courtyard of the Taoist temple. This way, even if we go up the mountain to trouble you in the future, you don't have to worry."

Old man Zhang frowned and asked: "How much have you completed on the newly built stone wall behind the village? How long have you been busy? It's New Year's Eve soon, so you have to rest for a few days, right?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "It's almost done. It will take another two or three days of work. Otherwise, all these chores can be completed before the Chinese New Year. I have to rest well in the days to come and don't want to be disturbed."

Old man Zhang shook his head repeatedly, thinking that if he really wanted to be quiet, he could just pat his butt and leave. Why would he make such a big fuss?

And all the money spent is a loss-making business no matter how you calculate it.

Fortunately, these gold coins were delivered to the door by others, otherwise Mr. Zhang would not be able to get them out if he were asked to pay.

The gold coins Li Xiuyuan gave him before were always flowing smoothly. From time to time, he built a Taoist temple and helped the villagers down the mountain. He couldn't spend it randomly.

"The wind blows away the eggshells, and the wealth disappears and people are happy."

Li Xiuyuan looked at it and said to himself: "You are doing well here. I can come back from time to time and live in the battle, otherwise I will not have a family at home."

Old Man Zhang sighed and said with a smile: "I'm going to Tianfeng City tomorrow for a stroll. What do you want to eat and buy it for you by the way? Or do you want to go with me?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied: "You can do whatever you want, I'll watch from here."

He waved his hand to show that he didn't care. After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiuyuan went to the bookshelf and took a piece of paper and handed it over.

He said: "I think I have nothing to do in the spring, so I will brew some more wine and drink it after my nephew comes back from the battlefield."

Old Man Zhang was about to ask about this just now. He reached out and took the note and couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said: "Old man, I have lived for so long and I have never liked this stuff. I never thought that one day I would become addicted to it.

"

"Drink less, this is not a good thing."

Li Xiuyuan began to boil water and make tea. He looked at the thick snow on the stone platform and said, "If the people from the Demon Realm don't come by the time of spring, I will leave."

Old man Zhang couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to take Xiao Long'er with you? Where is Xiao Qing?"

Li Xiuyuan knew that Old Man Zhang liked Xiao Long'er very much. He looked at him and replied: "They will both leave with me. When I come back, I will take them to live here for a few years."

Old man Zhang was a little surprised and asked: "Xiao Long'er is so small, is it suitable for you to take him with you?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head, saying, "It is precisely because she is too young that I am worried about keeping her with me."

In Li Xiuyuan's view, before going to the Shenlong Continent and before helping Xiao Long'er fulfill his wish, he was afraid that he would have to take her with him.

This was his promise to Xiao Long'er. When Old Man Zhang heard this, he sighed softly and said, "It seems like it's not easy for you to hang out outside! I'd better stay here honestly."

Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at him and smiled: "You are already doing very well here. As you practice slowly, you may have the opportunity to step into the realm of breaking the void, and you will live forever."

Old man Zhang whined, looked at him and said with a smile: "How long will it take... In the end, in the eyes of the villagers, I will no longer be an old monster."

Li Xiuyuan looked at his anxious look and said with a smile: "The road to practice is long, why are you in a hurry... Luoxia Mountain is the best place for you to practice in the world."

Old Man Zhang sighed and replied leisurely: "That's true. Protected by these many formations, I'm afraid it's even safer than the Emperor of Tianfeng City."

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Absolutely."

...

The next day, Li Xiuyuan got up early to practice his sword. As he was practicing, the flying snow in the sky stopped.

After sheathing the sword and returning to the wooden house, I found that Old Man Zhang had already gone to Tianfeng City.

Looking at the rare warm winter sun in the sky, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh: "You also know how to give me a smile so that I can have a comfortable New Year?"

If he hadn't had this trouble in the Demon Realm, he would have been laughing at the snow in the Taoist temple. But now he had to stay in this wooden house, facing the high platform in front of the door every day, which made him feel depressed.

meaning,

Fortunately, at this time, the sun came out.

Holding a bowl of white porridge in his hand, he started eating with the pickles and salted eggs on the table. The life in this mountain village was his favorite, because it was simple, so simple that no one came to disturb his life.

Even after Queen Changsun quarreled with him last time, she stopped talking to him. This is the peace he wants, this is the life he wants to live.

He just wanted to say to Shura Tianyu: "The whole world has forgotten me, and it is best that the one above the nine heavens will do the same."

"Oh, what time is it, and you are still drinking plain porridge?"

While he was thinking secretly, he didn't expect a visitor to come outside the house, and Xiaoyun's familiar and naughty voice rang out.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned, wondering what he was thinking and saying. He looked at her and asked, "If you don't stay in the palace on this snowy day, why did you come to my country again?"

Xiaoyun looked at him and smiled: "I'm not alone, aren't there your friends here?"

While he was talking, someone walked in from outside the house, but it was Bawang Chen whom he had not seen for a long time. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, I'm here to see you."

"Empress Changsun asked you to come?" Li Xiuyuan didn't believe that the two of them happened to meet together. These two guys would never see each other for hundreds of years.

The two of them sat down next to each other at the table and watched blankly as he finished the bowl of porridge. Xiaoyun then lit the small stove on the table and started making tea.

Overlord Chen looked at him, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty received a secret report that three thousand troops from the Demon Realm have come to cause trouble for you, so why don't you let me come and inquire about it... What happened in the end?"

Xiaoyun also asked seriously: "Isn't the empress afraid that you will be hurt... I said, little Taoist priest, you are so proud. General Chen and I came to see you on New Year's Eve. You have to be considerate."

Bar?"

"What do you mean? It's boring. Do you want to give you five hundred, one thousand gold coins as lucky money? If you want it, I will give it to you." Li Xiuyuan looked at him and laughed.

Then he looked at Overlord Chen and replied calmly: "The three thousand men and horses you mentioned..." He stretched out his hand to point to the back mountain and said with a smile: "They all made my apricot blossom on Luoxia Mountain.

Flower fertilizer.”

Boom!

What if a thunder rang over the heads of Xiaoyun and Bawang Chen!

The three thousand army, like the army of Tianfeng City back then, all became the fertilizer of the apricot flowers all over the mountains and fields?

Li Xiuyuan laughed at the exaggerated expressions of the two: "Old man Zhang just pruned the branches in autumn. You also know that I am very lazy and have no time to fertilize the flowers!"

Overlord Chen squeezed his thigh hard, looked at him and asked: "Will the master of the Demon Realm get so angry that he sends an army to trouble you again?"

Xiaoyun also looked at him nervously and asked: "What should I do about this? Why didn't you hide in the palace in the first place? Don't you have an identity card?"

Seeing the nervous expressions of the two of them, Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "If we come again, let them get the fertilizer for the year after next. I happen to be going to the Shura battlefield, so I don't have time to watch here."

After thinking for a long time, Overlord Chen looked at him and asked: "Would you like me to ask the empress to dispatch some soldiers to guard you? You are going a little too far?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and sighed: "If you bring troops here, it will become a war between two countries. Don't worry, I'm not that weak... If they want my life, they have to stay."

own life."

Xiaoyun looked at him and said anxiously: "The empress must know about this, and the emperor must also know about it. The people in this Demon Realm are so shameless that they actually sent an army of three thousand to vent their anger on you."

The water began to boil, and Xiaoyun was busy making tea and washing cups. It wasn't until the three of them held a cup of tea in their hands that she asked seriously: "How can you defeat their three thousand army?"

Li Xiuyuan took a sip of tea, made a gesture and said: "Dig a hole first, then bury people."

Xiaoyun put down the teacup she had taken a sip from and looked up at him with a confused expression.

Digging a hole? With three thousand troops, how many holes should be dug? She was a little confused and couldn't help but glance at Overlord Chen.

"He just used a metaphor, as if before fighting with you, the other party will first understand your weaknesses, and then plot against you during the fight..."

Overlord Chen didn't know what kind of trap Chen Xiuyuan was digging, so he simply explained it to her.

"It seems that you have been out there for these years and have learned worse and worse. Now you have learned how to dig holes and bury people... By the way, you were not like this before?"

Xiaoyun looked at Li Xiuyuan's indifferent expression and couldn't help but scold him.

Li Xiuyuan drank all the tea in the cup, looked at her and replied quietly: "Does it mean that if I am a good boy and wait here for him to kill me, I will be a good person? When the time comes, will you collect the body for me? Or him?"

After speaking, he pointed at Overlord Chen and continued: "This is my life. I have the right to choose my own life. I have nothing to do with the Tianfeng Kingdom anymore, so let's see if I face this snowstorm alone.

!”

"You can ask for help from my empress, Tianfeng Kingdom owes you a debt of gratitude."

Xiaoyun looked at him and shouted: "At least, they owed you three times and never paid them back."

"When I helped you solve your last problem, I told you that from now on I will have nothing to do with Wang Tianfeng. It was before and it will be in the future!"
