Chapter 8. Visitors from Nanzhao
When the bright light dissipated, the mass grave below had completely disappeared, leaving only a huge pit with a radius of several tens of feet!
After the molten earth and rock lava in the deep pit cooled, it turned into clusters of colorful colored glaze, which was extremely beautiful. I was more playful with the small stones, so I specially selected several pieces of well-shaped colored glaze from the bottom of the pit and collected them.
He said that he wanted to string a string of glass beads for himself.
Lu Zhi raised his hand and made a move, and a stream of light escaped from the pit and fell into Lu Zhi's hand, turning into an earthy yellow spirit bead, which was the earth spirit bead, one of the five spirit beads.
He briefly felt the aura and vitality in the earth spirit bead. It was indeed very extraordinary, but it was a rare spiritual object from heaven and earth.
After killing the Red Ghost King and obtaining the Earth Spirit Pearl, Lu Zhi did not stay here too long and set off again soon to continue traveling.
The Red Ghost King is dead, and this land of mass graves has been annihilated by the blazing divine light of the Xuan Huo Jian. There will no longer be any corpse monsters to cause trouble. The trouble has been eliminated, and there is no need for him to stay any longer.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhi's footprints have traveled all over the land of China. Except for the border of Nanzhao, which he has not yet entered due to some reasons, Lu Zhi can be seen everywhere on the land of China.
With his figure, he traveled all the way and gained knowledge along the way.
Two years passed by in a hurry, and Lu Zhi returned to Yuhang Town again... After a few years apart, he didn't know how his disciple Li Xiaoyao was doing now, so it was time to go and see him.
After all, counting the time, Li Xiaoyao is already nineteen years old this year, and it is time for the plot to officially unfold.
Yunlai Yunxiang Inn, backyard.
A young man was practicing swordplay in the courtyard. He held a wooden sword in his hand. As the blade danced, the sword light filled the sky. The howling wind turned the fallen leaves in the courtyard into a torrent, whizzing and swimming with the blade like a long dragon.
.
"Yes, it seems that Xiaoyao has not been lazy during the two years since he left as a teacher." Lu Zhi said calmly.
With Lu Zhi's eyesight, he can naturally see that Li Xiaoyao's swordsmanship has reached a certain level now. As long as he accumulates enough, he will be able to transcend the world and officially enter the mysterious and mysterious realm of swordsmanship.
Hearing Lu Zhi's voice, Li Xiaoyao, who was practicing his sword, suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned around with a surprised expression. He saw a young man in black clothes and a crown standing in the corridor looking at him. It was not Lu.
Who is Zhi?
"Master! You are back!"
Lu Zhi nodded and said: "Well, are you still thinking about becoming a teacher? Haven't seen you for several years? It is necessary to test your progress in the past few years, but now that I see your swordsmanship, it is no longer necessary.
"
Li Xiaoyao smiled, then threw the wooden sword he was using for practice back to the weapons rack on the side of the field with his backhand, and quickly walked forward to say goodbye.
"Disciple pays homage to master."
Lu Zhi nodded in response, then looked Li Xiaoyao up and down, and said: "Not bad? Master, I see that your spiritual cultivation is overflowing with wisdom. Your foundation building is also considered complete. It seems that Master is back."
It’s the right time.”
When he left, he specially passed down to Li Xiaoyao the Chaoyang Breathing Technique and the Jiuding Divine Refining Technique, so that he could concentrate on practicing them and build a foundation.
Now he sees that Li Xiaoyao has broken through the realm of refining energy and transforming into a god, and his spiritual skills have been perfected. The foundation has been laid. From now on, he can officially embark on the path of cultivation and enlightenment.
Lu Zhi added: "Xiaoyao, now that you have completed your foundation building, I will teach you the Golden Light Curse and the Three Volumes of Taiping Essentials as my master."
Hearing that Lu Zhi was teaching the Dharma again, Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but look happy and hurriedly bowed down and said, "My disciple, I thank you, Master."
Just like before, Lu Zhi pointed at Li Xiaoyao's eyebrows and passed on the Golden Light Mantra and the Three Volumes of Taiping Secrets to him. He believed that with Li Xiaoyao's talent and understanding, it wouldn't take long for him to master it.
It's just a pity that the aura in this world is no longer innate, and the aura is slightly lacking. The Thirty-six Heavenly Gang and the Eight/Nine Mysterious Techniques cannot be practiced or taught to him in this world.
After returning to Yuhang County and teaching Li Xiaoyao the Dharma again, Lu Zhi was not in a hurry to leave. After all, he had traveled most of the world in the past two years, and he had a relatively clear understanding of this world.
Now is the time to understand and digest.
And calculating the time, it was already time for the plot to begin, so Lu Zhi stayed in the inn and waited for the opportunity to come.
Another half month later, three strange guests from Nanzhao came to the inn and wanted to book the inn.
For some reason, when Li Xiaoyao saw the three people, he felt an inexplicable dislike for them. He didn't want these three people to enter the store at all, so he drove them away directly.
.
"Xiaoyao, what's the matter with you? How can you drive away the guests?" When Aunt Li came to know the situation, she scolded Li Xiaoyao severely.
"You brat, what's going on? Three generous guests finally came to book the inn, but you just drove them away... We haven't had any guests in the inn for several days, and you still go out
If we drive people away and don’t open, do you want to drink the northwest wind?”
Li Xiaoyao could only apologize, calm down the angry aunt, and then said.
"Auntie, listen to me, those three people are not good people... The first time I saw them, I felt a disgusting and strange aura about them, so I drove them away."
Aunt Li glanced sideways at Li Xiaoyao: "What is not a good person? How can you know whether someone is good or bad?"
Li Xiaoyao could only laugh and didn't know how to explain. He could only turn to look at Lu Zhi who was drinking tea at the side: "Master, can you tell Auntie about it? Those three people really don't look like ordinary people.
"
Aunt Li also turned to look at Lu Zhi. Although she could not trust her nephew, she admired Lu Zhi's ability, so she also wanted to hear what Lu Zhi had to say.
Lu Zhi raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Xiaoyao, you are right. Those three people are indeed not righteous people."
"Those three people should be from Nanzhao. They have a bit of witchcraft and sorcery in them. They must be heretics who practice such a cruel and weird method as blood sacrifice. It should be annoying to people."
Li Xiaoyao immediately answered: "Auntie, look, I will tell you."
Aunt Li rolled her eyes at Li Xiaoyao: "What are you talking about? You can't even tell me anything. If it weren't for Director Lu, would you know the details of this person?"
She added: "But it's okay not to receive them. After all, those barbarian people are indeed not as weird and cruel as I, the people from the Central Plains. When I was in the world, I also witnessed the weird methods of those Nanzhao people several times. In a word,
He poisons people when they don't like it, which makes people really hard to guard against."
Originally, the matter of the three Nanzhao people should have been settled at this point, but that night, things changed again.
That night, Li Xiaoyao thought of finding his companion Wang Xiaohu in the village and inviting him to the inn for dinner. However, when he arrived at Wang Xiaohu's home, he found that one of the Nanzhao people who had stayed at his inn had appeared at Xiaohu's home.
, and also tied up Xiaohu’s father!
Upon seeing this, Li Xiaoyao immediately took action, knocked down the Nanzhao man, untied Xiaohu's father, and asked him what happened.
"Uncle Wang, what happened? Why is this Nanzhao man at your house? And where is Xiaohu? Why isn't he at home?"
When Uncle Wang saw Li Xiaoyao, he immediately seemed to have a backbone. He quickly grabbed Li Xiaoyao's arm and said anxiously.
"Xiaoyao, Xiaohu was captured by them. You are very capable and have developed a lot of skills over the years. Please help me save Xiaohu and bring him back!"
Li Xiaoyao also looked surprised and asked: "Ah? The little tiger was captured by them? Why did they capture the little tiger? Uncle Wang, please don't be impatient and tell me the situation in detail first."
Uncle Wang tried his best to think back, and then said: "I...I'm not very clear either."
"That's right! I heard from their previous conversation that they seemed to want Xiaohu to take them to a place called Fairy Island...the same overseas fairy island where Xiaohu asked me for some fairy medicine to cure my illness.
"
"Xianling Island?" Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but frowned, wondering in his heart, these Nanzhao people captured Xiaohu to lead them, why did they take the fairy island to it?
