After running for more than ten miles, the white color of fish belly gradually appeared in the direction behind the two people.
Li Jiang stopped and signaled Xu Zhu to summon the Lingjiu Palace reinforcements.
Xu Zhu nodded silently, put down the child's elder gently, and took out the small black tube that he treasured so much from his arms, clasped it between his thumb and middle finger, and then the infuriating energy surged up and popped out.
In the empty northwest land, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded.
Although Xu Zhu collected his true energy again and again, the control was really ineffective. He still used a little more force, and the small black tube rose straight into the sky and disappeared instantly. Only the sound of "Woo" was still ringing.
The two of them raised their heads and watched quietly until their necks felt sore and the little black tube did not fall off.
Xu Zhu looked back at Li Jiang and said awkwardly: "Daozhang Li, I...I really didn't expect it to be like this."
Li Jiang waved his hand indifferently and said comfortingly: "It doesn't matter, just forget that we can't contact you this time. Pindao knows the way to Lingjiu Palace. When you get to the end of the field, just ask them to give you a few liaison devices."
Xu Zhu scratched his head and said: "There is only one sound, I wonder if the people in Lingjiu Palace can hear it? Director Li, are we still waiting?"
Li Jiang pondered: "Wait a minute, if they hear us and we leave again, wouldn't it mean that they are in vain!"
"Well, I listen to Daochang Li." Xu Zhu nodded heavily.
Xu Zhu's character has always been like this. He followed the rules and had no ideas of his own. When his master was alive, he obeyed his master's orders. After his master died and wandered around the world, he only obeyed his master's orders. Therefore, Li Jiang was the perfect successor to help him make up his mind.
Not only will I not get bored, I will actually enjoy it.
The two of them were on an ancient road, and since it was already bright, they couldn't stand in the middle, so they went to wait under a big tree by the roadside.
Ten minutes later, the two of them heard the "ding-dong, ding-dong" sound of camel bells coming from the distance of the ancient road almost at the same time.
Xu Zhu looked at Li Jiang in surprise. Li Jiang waved his hand to signal him not to call, and then explained softly: "Sometimes the person who comes is a friend, or it may be an enemy! See clearly first before speaking."
The camels walked slowly, but this group of people was obviously in a hurry. Amidst the rapid beating of hooves and the jingling of camel bells, smoke and dust billowed in.
Li Jianggong gathered his eyes and looked far away, and saw dozens of camels galloping in his direction.
There are people riding on the back of each camel, either one or two. They are all wearing light blue cloaks. From a distance, they look like a blue cloud moving quickly.
Xu Zhu also saw it and asked: "Daozhang Li, are you from Lingjiu Palace?"
Li Jiang nodded, thought for a while and then teased: "Brother Xu Zhu, why are you still so open to outsiders? This is not good. You will be their master from now on, and it will chill them to be so open to outsiders."
"I...not..." Xu Zhu still couldn't let go of Xiao Lin who raised him, and he wanted to deny it.
"Think about Menggu!" Li Jiang interrupted directly.
These words hit the spot, Xu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and nodded to admit his mistake with a red face.
While the two were talking, the dozen or so women had already spotted the two standing under the tree.
There was an old woman, probably in her fifties or sixties. She was the first to discover Li Jiang and shouted loudly: "Is this Director Li?"
Li Jiang's gentle voice reached the ears of more than a dozen people dozens of meters away, "It's me, Granny Yu. Are you looking for Child Elder? Then come here."
Grandma Yu was overjoyed and waved back, controlling the camel and trotting towards the foot of the big tree.
At this time, Xu Zhu has also seen clearly the dress of the people who came, they are all women, with a black vulture embroidered on the chest of the blue cloak, with a ferocious expression, spreading their wings and ready to fly.
Just when he was thinking about the meaning of this pattern, Li Jiang's explanation was just right, "They are people from the Haotian tribe of the Nine Tribes of the Nine Heavens. The leader's surname is Yu. You can call her Granny Yu."
Before Xu Zhu could agree, more than a dozen camels were approaching. The girls got off their camels, clasped their fists and bowed together, saying in unison: "I have met Daoist Master Li."
Most of them knew Li Jiang, and those who didn't knew him had heard of him. After all, Li Jiang had spent more than half a year in Lingjiu Palace in vain. He was known as the man who "brought down Lingjiu Palace with one stick."
At that time, many people were still dissatisfied and complained to Child Elder, saying that this person looked down on Lingjiu Palace's sword skills. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Child Elder laughed "haha" and said: "Grandma's sword skills are just made by random gestures.
Not so good! He is a martial arts expert and he is right. You guys, you are like a dog biting Lu Dongbin and you don’t know a good heart. You should be satisfied if someone helps you improve your swordsmanship."
After being scolded, the women took a breath for a while. Those who were interested in swordsmanship went to Li Jiang and asked for some advice.
The next development of things completely convinced them. Because the effect of Li Jiang's guidance was very obvious. In the rebellion of Thirty-six Holes and Seventy-two Islands, these women who had strengthened their sword skills were really murderous.
Hemp, and I seldom get hurt.
Therefore, their respect for Li Jiang comes from the bottom of their hearts.
After everyone saluted, Grandma Yu was concerned about the whereabouts of Child Elder and asked: "Daoist Master Li, do you know where the Lord is?"
Li Jiang looked gloomy and said to them: "Yes, but you have to be mentally prepared." After that, he nodded to Xu Zhu.
Xu Zhu also nodded, walked towards the big tree behind him, and then walked around behind the tree.
The girls were confused and didn't know what they were doing. Grandma Yu was older and had experienced more things. Li Jiang's tone just now was wrong. When she saw an ugly man with short hair walking around behind her, her heart suddenly pounded.
"A voice asked in a trembling voice: "Li...Daozhang Li, please...respect her..."
Li Jiang's eyes turned red. He opened his mouth but was speechless and choked. He seemed to have exhausted all his strength and nodded.
"ah!"
Several women who were close couldn't help but exclaimed.
Before they could ask questions again, Xu Zhu had already turned out from behind the tree with a person in his arms.
The girls took a look and saw that it was Child Elder's clothes. Then they looked at Child Elder's face. The corners of her mouth were raised, her eyes were tightly closed, and her face was gray and blue, showing that she had been dead for a long time!
They don't want to ask anymore, and they don't need to ask anymore.
All the women in blue robes staggered towards him, crying as they ran. When they reached Xu Zhu's feet, they were crying loudly, and their lamentations shook the sky.
Each of these women was rescued by Child Elder in a difficult and dangerous time. Some grew up in Lingjiu Palace, and some joined in the process. Although Child Elder was very strict, they all lived a very different life from the past.
She lives a stable life, so everyone is grateful for her kindness, and her sad cries are sincere.
I don't know how long I have been crying, but when Xu Zhu felt that his hands holding the body were numb, Granny Yu put away her tears and said bitterly: "Please tell Daoist Master Li, who killed the Lord?"
The kneeling women also raised their heads and looked at Li Jiang, with their hands on the hilts of their swords, looking sad and angry.
Li Jiang sighed, turned around and walked behind the tree.
A moment later, he appeared in front of the girls holding the body of a woman in a white shirt.
The girls looked carefully and saw that this woman had seventeen or eight scars on her face. Apart from her beautiful eyes, she looked extremely ugly.
Granny Yu followed Child Elder for a long time and seemed to know more. She asked uncertainly: "Bitch Li Qiushui?"
"Amitabha, don't say bad words to the female donor, she is my uncle's junior sister!" A voice suddenly sounded.
