Li Xiao was quite surprised that he could meet Ling'er in this place. It gave him the feeling that he had gone through all kinds of iron shoes and found nowhere, and it took no effort to get there.
After all, the purpose of hurriedly withdrawing just now was to set off to Shushuang and inquire about the whereabouts of Ling'er and Jiujianxian. But who could have thought that the fate in this world would be so ingenious? It really has to be sighed.
Woolen cloth.
"He even brings trouble to his own disciples. He is indeed a shameless disciple..."
Seeing the scene where master and apprentice recognized each other, Lin Yueru couldn't help but frown slightly, with a look of anger on her pretty face.
Li Xiao glanced behind Ling'er, and saw the middle-aged man in gray robes with a somewhat bohemian look. Seeing this familiar face, Li Xiao naturally recognized that the man was the Jiujianxian.
Li Xiao was about to take the two of them to another place to reminisce about old times, but a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and Lin Tiannan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blocking his way.
"Young hero, it is fate that we can meet each other today. You might as well go to my Lin Family Fort to talk about it, why bother leaving in a hurry." Lin Tiannan blocked the way and said in a deep voice.
At the same time, the onlookers around them had already reacted. They kept raising their arms and cheering: "Get married, get married." The cheers came one after another, spreading throughout the downtown area of the ancient city, making it really lively.
.
"this……"
Li Xiao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't refuse immediately, but hesitated in his heart.
Although he said that he had no intention of recruiting a bride through martial arts competition, it was an indisputable fact that he had won the battle with Lin Yueru just now.
This is very embarrassing.
Moreover, Lin Tiannan, as the leader of the Lin Family Fort and the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance, can make a huge promise in the arena. Since he has set up a competition arena to attract brides, he will use his Lin Family Fort's signature name as his name.
If I insist on leaving, I'm afraid it will embarrass the other party and prevent her from coming to power.
After taking another look at Lin Tiannan in front of him, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and his aura was thick and solid, giving people an unfathomable feeling. He was worthy of being the leader of the Southern Wulin today, and his strength was probably no less than that of a great master.
, if you insist on getting away, I'm afraid it will inevitably lead to a fight.
After Li Xiao pondered for a moment, he smiled calmly and said: "Okay, then Li will be respectful and it is better to obey my order."
…
…
Linjiabao.
Hot tea was poured and the guests and hosts took their seats.
Lin Tiannan was sitting in the lobby, Lin Yueru stood behind Lin Tiannan with a somewhat uneasy expression, and Li Xiao, Ling'er, and Jiu Jianxian were sitting at the bottom respectively.
Li Xiao sat there upright, as calm as an ancient well without waves, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. Ling'er's expression was slightly reserved, while Jiujianxian looked very casual, with his shoulders slanted and raised.
He crossed his legs and sat casually on the chair. From time to time he picked up the wine gourd and poured himself two sips of wine.
Although Jiu Jianxian looked a bit bohemian and unruly, for Li Xiao's sake, Lin Tiannan did not pursue the matter.
"It seems that what happened today was a misunderstanding, but it's like we don't know each other before we fight. I hope Li Shaoxia can forgive me." At this time, Lin Tiannan put down his body and said with an apologetic smile.
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter."
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit subtle. After a moment of silence, Lin Tiannan's eyes wandered over Li Xiao and the others, and he spoke first: "I just heard your conversation, it seems like you have known each other before?"
Li Xiao, Ling'er, and Jiu Jianxian exchanged glances, and then nodded in disbelief and said, "Yes, this is a long story."
Regarding Lin Tiannan, Li Xiao had nothing to hide. After a slight hesitation, he recounted what he had experienced in Nanzhao before. Of course, Li Xiao would not mention some secret things.
Lin Yueru clicked her tongue a little.
"It turns out that the three of them are the princess of Nanzhao, the alchemist of Nanzhao, and the wine and sword fairy of Shushan. It's really disrespectful."
After a pause, Lin Tiannan frowned again and sighed: "I didn't expect that there is such a hidden meaning. This moon worship is really cruel. In order to achieve its own sinister purpose, it actually caused floods, causing the people of Nanzhao to suffer and make their lives difficult. It is simply
God cannot tolerate it."
At the same time, Lin Tiannan looked at Li Xiao with more admiration.
He naturally knew about the Nanzhao Kingdom. Although it had suffered from drought in the past two years, its foundation was still there and its national strength was still quite strong.
Li Xiao was able to become a great alchemist at such a young age, which is enough to show that Li Xiao's strength and methods are strong. Moreover, in the fight with his daughter Yueru just now, Li Xiao did not bully others. When Lin Yueru was about to
At the critical moment when he was injured, he came to the rescue regardless of past grievances, which shows that the other party is open-minded and mature, and has the style of a general.
If he can be recruited into Linjiabao, he will definitely be able to intimidate Xiao Xiao, help Lin Yueru, and take care of the gang's affairs. Lin Tiannan couldn't help but think so. Thinking of this, the more Lin Tiannan looked at Li Xiao, the more he liked him.
, the feeling is like a father-in-law's appreciation and favor for his golden son-in-law.
After a pause, Lin Tiannan asked again: "So, what are Li Shaoxia's plans next?"
"I have an sworn hatred with that worshiping moon, and I must avenge him. However, now he controls the Nanzhao court and it is difficult to shake him. This time I returned to the Central Plains, on the one hand, I want to find Ling'er, and on the other hand, I want to pursue
With the opportunity of martial arts, break through the shackles of your own realm as soon as possible, and then compete with the worshiping moon." Li Xiao said with a slightly condensed expression.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao turned his head and looked at the fairy-looking girl beside him, and his heart moved.
The mission issued by the system in this plane also destined Li Xiao to kill Baiyue on the premise of protecting Ling'er's safety. Now that he finally found Ling'er and learned that she was safe and sound, he naturally felt relieved.
A little more relaxed.
…
…
"Such a devil can really be punished by everyone. Li Shaoxia upholds the benevolence and righteousness. If he can eliminate this evil, it will really be a great achievement for the people." Lin Tiannan stroked his beard and said: "It's just a martial arts opportunity.
It has always been extremely precious and can only be found but not sought."
"After January, there will be a martial arts competition held every eight years in Linjiabao. At that time, many martial arts masters will come here to compete with each other and explore the secrets of martial arts. It is better for Li Shaoxia to stay in Linjiabao for a while and enjoy his stay.
During the martial arts tournament, you may be able to get a glimpse of some kind of martial arts opportunity, which is especially true."
At this moment, Jiujianxian's eyes suddenly lit up, he moved the wine gourd away from his mouth, and said in surprise: "Is what Lord Lin Bao said about the "Southern Forest and Northern Sinking" martial arts competition held every eight years?"
"I didn't expect that Taoist Priest Mo would actually know that, yes, it is indeed the "Southern Forest and Northern Shen" martial arts tournament." Lin Tiannan nodded.
"Well..." Li Xiao couldn't help but fall into thinking after hearing this.
Li Xiao has experienced many planes, has a delicate mind, and a pair of discerning eyes that can see fire. He naturally guessed the purpose of Lin Tiannan inviting him to stay.
However, it can be said that exactly as he said, this martial arts opportunity is like a lottery, an opportunity that can be encountered but cannot be sought. If you look for it aimlessly, you will probably fail.
I wonder which martial arts masters will participate in this martial arts competition. Maybe it will be an opportunity?
Li Xiao turned around and asked Ling'er and Jiujianxian: "What do you think?"
Jiu Jianxian shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.
The Jiujianxian has no fixed abode and is used to traveling around. To him, it's the same everywhere, so naturally he has no objections.
Ling'er held Li Xiao's hand, with a peach blossom smile on her face, and said with a gentle and well-behaved expression: "Wherever Master Li is, I will go."
Seeing Ling'er's cute and sweet look, Li Xiao couldn't help but smile, and immediately agreed, saying to Lin Tiannan: "Okay, then I will take the liberty of interrupting and stay here in Linjiabao for a while."
…
…
In a villa in Linjiabao.
Li Xiaozheng was reminiscing about old times with Jiu Jianxian and Ling'er at the place where they stayed.
After all, they had not seen each other for six years, so they naturally had a lot to say when they reunited after a long absence.
It turned out that six years ago, under the entrustment of the Witch Queen, Jiujianxian escaped from the palace with Ling'er overnight and came to the Central Plains. In order to avoid the pursuit of the moon worshipers, Jiujianxian took Ling'er with him. Ling'er wandered around the world, traveling around the world, and six years passed in a blink of an eye.
Li Xiao pointed to the banner of "Fortune-telling Wine and Half Immortal" placed in the corner, and said half curiously and half jokingly: "Jiu-Sword Immortal, what does this banner mean? When did you start doing fortune-telling and fortune-telling?" It’s business.”
When the Jiujianxian heard this, he couldn't help but smile and explain: "If I were alone, naturally one person would be full and the whole family would not be hungry anymore. However, since I brought Ling'er to the Central Plains, whether it is food, clothing or accommodation, I will naturally If I need a sum of silver, I don't know any other skills, so I have to use some of the subtle divination techniques I learned when I was practicing Taoism in Shushan to earn some silver to support my life."
"I see, it's really a penny that can stump a heroic man."
Li Xiao suddenly stopped laughing. At this time, he had already understood.
In the original work, with the help of the Nuwa Temple, Li Xiaoyao traveled back in time, rescued the young Ling'er and his grandmother from the Nanzhao Palace, and then took them to live on Phoenix Island. Before leaving, he also They were given a lot of money, which was enough for them to live a life without worries about food and clothing.
In this world, Li Xiaoyao did not appear, but Jiujianxian rescued Ling'er from the palace, so there was an extra expense.
Poor people raise their children, rich people raise their daughters. This is true in modern times, and it was the same in ancient times. This made the poor Jiujianxian, desperate, pick up the Taoist divination technique and rely on fortune telling to make money.
It has to be said that it is really difficult for this Jiu Sword Immortal. Who could have expected that this Jiu Sword Immortal with unparalleled cultivation would one day have to worry about making a living.
Of course, this is enough to show that he cares about Ling'er. Perhaps this is also due to his feelings for Ling'er's mother, the Witch Queen. Ling'er is the Witch Queen's daughter, and the Jiujianxian treats her as his own.
Very concerned about her.
"Master Li, Ling'er never wants to be separated from you again. How about letting Ling'er stay with you and accompany me all the time?" Ling'er on the side said with reluctance in her eyes and said coquettishly to Li Xiao.
During these six years, it can be said that what Zhao Ling'er misses the most is Master Li. This kind of emotion may have already transcended the boundary between master and apprentice. On the royal road in the palace six years ago, there was a seed of emotion in the girl's heart.
The seeds were sown, and they sprouted vigorously in the past six years, even to the point of being uncontrollable. That's why she was so excited when she saw Li Xiao just now.
"Okay, we'll never be separated again." Li Xiao touched Ling'er's head and said with a doting look on his face. Immediately, he turned his head again and said to Jiu Jianxian: "In the past six years, Ling'er has also been grateful to me.
You took care of it."
"Ling'er is Qing'er's daughter. It is naturally my duty to help her." Jiu Jianxian waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "However, it would be better if there was another piece of wine in this matter, haha
.”
When Li Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but think that this Jiujianxian was a drunkard.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao took out a bottle of Wuliangye and a can of braised pork belly from the system space with one hand, and placed them in front of Jiu Jianxian.
"What is in this glass?" Jiu Jianxian took the glass bottle and looked at it repeatedly, with a curious look on his face: "Could it be...this is wine, it must taste very good."
"You'll know once you taste it." Li Xiao smiled calmly.
After Jiu Jian carefully opened the bottle cap, a fragrant and strong aroma suddenly wafted from the bottle. As if in the blink of an eye, this rich aroma of wine soon filled the whole room, which made the wine
The Jianxian's heart was shaken, his eyes shone brightly, and he swallowed hard. The drunken Jianxian looked like a shark that had smelled the smell of blood.
At this time, the Jiujianxian stopped being polite and directly picked up the bottle of wine and couldn't help but take a sip.
After several sips, even though he was a wine-swordsman with an amazing capacity for drinking, his face also turned a blushing color, full of contentment and intoxication. He repeatedly praised: "Good wine, this fine wine is not only the aroma.
It is strong and soft in the mouth, and the mouthfeel is sweet and rich, as pure as an orchid. Haha, this is really a good wine."
With the progress of the times, the brewing process has naturally become more and more sophisticated and scientific, allowing the taste buds to enjoy the greatest extent. At the same time, the brewed wine is also extremely fragrant and delicious. The Jiujianxian who is used to drinking rough wine
, it will naturally be a great enjoyment to taste this modern wine.
"Come on, don't just drink, try the taste of this can, it's a good dish to go with wine." Li Xiao reminded.
At this time, the Jiujianxian realized the can, and immediately opened it, grabbed it with his hands, and tasted it. He couldn't help but smash it, opened his mouth, nodded repeatedly, and did not hide the amazement in his eyes: "
This fine wine, paired with this meat, the taste is really amazing!”
