What Li Xiao didn't expect was that Zhou Huaian was willing to be loyal to Li Xiao in order to repay his kindness by rescuing Qiu Moyan.
Zhou Huaian is a top-notch master with superb swordsmanship and unparalleled fierceness.
If you take him under your wing, it would be a great thing.
Li Xiao quickly helped Zhou Huai'an up from the ground: "What Zhou Huaian said is serious. The hero and I really regretted meeting each other so late. If you don't dislike it, we can become brothers with different surnames. How about that?"
Li Xiao knew that some masters could not be bought with just money. For example, a chivalrous man like Zhou Huai'an would be even more powerful with his help!
At the same time, he also considered that it would be somewhat humiliating to let a former coach of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army become his subordinate. If the two of them became sworn sworn friends, it would not only take care of Zhou Huai'an's face, but also reflect his cherished heart.
"What I wish for."
Zhou Huaian also agreed excitedly, as if he had already had such an idea.
The two met each other late and coincidentally.
Li Xiao ordered Lu Chong and Kong Yun to go down to the inn hall and set up the incense burner and the wine, and then the two of them walked downstairs side by side.
At this time, there was a table in the inn hall, with an incense burner on it and two incense sticks next to it.
Li Xiao and Zhou Huaian stepped forward and lit two incense sticks respectively, inserted them into the incense burner, kowtowed three times in front of the statue of Guan Gong, swore in their mouths, drank strong wine, and under the witness of Jin Xiangyu and others,
They formally married Jin Lan and became brothers with different surnames.
"Brother."
"Second brother!"
The two of them hugged each other sympathetically. Although they had only known each other for three days, they had experienced a friendship of life and death. At this time, it was more reasonable to become brothers, and they smiled happily and boldly.
The sound echoed all around.
...
With the collapse of Cao Shaoqin's conspiracy, the desert seems to have gradually returned to peace.
There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. After this incident, everyone has their own plans.
Jin Xiangyu saw through the coldness of human nature and the harshness of the world, so he went out of seclusion with the old man from Longmen Inn.
As for He Hu, Tie Zhu and others, they were originally from the rivers and lakes. After this battle, they also decided to wash their hands in a golden basin, no longer involved in the affairs of the world, lived in seclusion in Henan Mountain, and lived an ordinary life from then on.
Qiu Moyan was recovering from a serious injury and needed to stay in the inn to recuperate.
And Li Xiao also has his own plans. It has been more than half a month since he left the capital. After Cao Shaoqin's death, the entire court will be in turmoil, but turmoil and opportunities coexist. Besides, Li Xiao's second system mission is to
Yang Yuxuan was rehabilitated, so he needs to return to the capital to resume his life!
In order to repay Li Xiao's kindness, Zhou Huaian also decided to follow Li Xiao. So he prepared to return to the capital with Li Xiao. Although he was the key criminal arrested by Dongchang, Cao Shaoqin was dead at this time, and Dongchang must face
The cards have been reshuffled, so Dongchang probably won't have the time to take care of him.
...
The sun is scorching like fire, and the cicadas are chirping.
From a previously deserted mountain trail, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves and a crowd of people coming.
"Sir, we have now reached the HB boundary."
"We still have five or six days to go before the capital, right?"
"Exactly."
The first man was handsome and handsome, with sharp eyes. He had a natural wisdom all over his body, but inside he also revealed an evil spirit condensed from bloody battles! Who was Li Xiao from time to time?
After leaving the desert, Li Xiao led Zhou Huaian and others to the capital.
At this moment, Li Xiao looked far into the distance and looked through the branches of the trees in the forest. He suddenly discovered that in a high mountain not far ahead, there were many Taoist temples scattered on the tops of the mountains, with sharp edges and corners, and misty clouds.
, a scene like a Taoist holy land!
"Why are there so many Taoist temples there?" Li Xiao asked slightly puzzled.
"Oh? You said that's where Wudang Mountain is located." Kong Yun replied.
When he heard the words Wudang Mountain, Li Xiao's eyes couldn't help but light up.
The first thing he thought of was Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang Sect and a world-famous Taoist and martial arts master!
...
"I wonder if Master Zhang is in the Taoist temple?" Li Xiao asked calmly.
"Zhenzhen Zhang has spent his whole life studying Taoism. If he is not traveling around the mountains and rivers, then he should be in Taoist temples." At this time, Zhou Huaian took over and said.
Hearing what Zhou Huaian said made Li Xiao even more certain that Zhang Sanfeng was still alive at this time.
"Why, could it be that Brother Li also wants to seek the art of immortality?" Zhou Huaian said.
You must know that the Wudang Sect started in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty! And Zhang Sanfeng is also the master of alchemy. Many people who want to live longer will want to come to the Wudang Sect.
Seeing that Li Xiao was suddenly so interested in Wudang Mountain, Zhou Huaian subconsciously made a guess.
Li Xiao just smiled slightly and said without comment: "Since you are here at Wudang Mountain, you might as well go and have a look."
Not to mention, Li Xiao studied under Uncle Jiu, so he was naturally half a member of the Taoist sect! Moreover, for a legendary figure like Zhang Sanfeng, he still wanted to see his true face.
...
Li Xiao didn't say much. He just raised his whip and neighed, driving the horse across the hilly land and galloping straight ahead. Zhou Huai'an, Lu Chong and others looked at each other.
, naturally followed closely.
Li Xiao dismounted from his horse in front of Wudang Taoist Temple and watched.
I saw here green tiles and red roofs, beautiful buildings and jade buildings, dragon and phoenix flying eaves, and incense. The entire Taoist temple built on the mountain is filled with a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
At this time, on the floor tiles in front of the gate, there were two Taoist disciples in Taoist robes cleaning the steps with brooms. They looked focused and extremely serious. Even if it was such a small matter, they had a pious heart.
Heart, dare not neglect at all.
...
"Taoist Master, is Master Zhang in the Taoist temple? I have admired his name for a long time. I passed by here and wanted to come and pay my respects."
Li Xiao walked forward and said to one of the Taoist priests.
"Are you...Jin Yiwei?"
The little Taoist priest also had sharp eyes, and when he saw the ivory belt hanging on Li Xiao's waist, it was engraved with the three characters "Jinyiwei", and he naturally understood his identity.
"Wait a minute, I'll go report it."
The Taoist priest placed the broom by the wall, then entered the Taoist temple, walked up the steps, and reported. The other Taoist priest sweeping the floor looked at Li Xiao and others with a complicated expression.
About the time of a cup of tea.
The Taoist priest who went to report also turned back again: "Okay, come in with me, but you can only go in alone."
"Yeah, okay."
Li Xiao asked Zhou Huaian, Lu Chong and others to wait here first, while he entered the Taoist temple with the Taoist priest. When he stepped up the steps and looked at the surrounding buildings, he couldn't help but stand in awe.
The Taoist priest led Li Xiao to Sanqing Pavilion.
"Please wait here for a moment."
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Taoist priest." Li Xiao thanked him and waited in the Sanqing Pavilion.
It's just that this wait is a long time.
Although Zhang Sanfeng did not show up for a long time, Li Xiao did not lose his temper. He sat down on a futon, took a deep breath, and felt the tranquility and solemnity of this Taoist temple. His mind was actually immersed in it, and he took a deep breath.
Silently reciting the Maoshan Heart Method, the magic power is also flowing! The mind is clear and the whole body is relaxed, as if even the fatigue of running around just now has been swept away.
Time passed unknowingly, but Li Xiao did not realize it at all. He was immersed in the state of cultivation.
"Okay, children can be taught."
At this moment, someone's voice suddenly came to Li Xiao's ears. At first it sounded ordinary, but when he heard it again, the voice seemed to be rolling in from all directions. The loud sound was filled with incomparable emotion.
momentum.
Li Xiao opened his eyes and looked up, only to see a white-haired old man stepping in from outside the attic. He was wearing a blue-grey Bagua Taoist robe, and his long beard was twirling in his hand, which was slightly faded due to the years.
In the turbid pupils, there is a fascinating light shining, showing extraordinary cultivation and immortal spirit!
