When we returned to Qianshan, it was already late at night. The torches were shining brightly in the pear forest. Lu Lunyuan and others were directing everyone to build the building for the Tongtian Sect's branch. In order to complete it as quickly as possible, they divided into two groups and worked day and night.
Li Bai took advantage of the cover of night and entered the small island directly from the top of the mountain. There was a small hut on the island, which Zhuge Yongmeng had built back then. Li Bai asked Zi Yan, Sima Heng and the Monkey King to rest in the small hut first.
Then he climbed back to the cave along the spring passage. At this time, the cave was also lit with torches. Hong Shun was leading dozens of men to dig the cave. They wanted to make the cave flat and wide to use as Zhuge Leran's bedroom and meeting hall.
Li Bai hid in the darkness of the cave and summoned Hong Shun by teleportation.
Hong Shun was surprised to see Li Bai suddenly appear in the cave, and whispered: "Li Bai, didn't you say you won't be back until tomorrow night? Why are you here?"
"My speed has increased, so I came back early. By the way, where are Leran and the others?"
"Resting in a temporary tent outside the cave, protected by Liu Xiaoxiao, Li Sanjin and others." Hong Shun really admired Li Bai, a god who traveled thousands of miles a day, and naturally answered all questions.
"Can you trust the people in the cave?" Li Bai pointed to the dozens of men digging the cave.
Hong Shun nodded: "You can trust me. These are all from my heart and I carefully selected them."
"Okay, then I'm relieved. This cave is the most secret place of Qianshan Sub-Altar and cannot be revealed to the outside world. Now go find Leran and Liu Xiaoxiao, and ask Li Sanjin to bring all the Arhats.
, and then order people to bring more pickaxes and chisels."
Hong Shun said "Yes!" and immediately went to do it.
After a while, Zhuge Leran and others entered the cave. Everyone was surprised that Li Bai came back late at night.
Zhuge Leran said: "Where are brother Li Bai, sister Ziyan and Monkey?"
"They are already on the island. It is not safe for you to live in tents outside. If experts come, you will easily suffer losses. So you go to the island quickly. Li Sanjin, you are responsible for asking the Arhats to dig out the channel for the spring.
There are nine passages inside. You choose eight of them and install mechanisms, leaving only one to reach the island safely. Then build a number of residences on the island, set up observation towers, dig deep water tanks, release water and fill it up, and then do a
There is a single-plank stone bridge leading to the island, and a hidden sentry is set up at the exit of the spring. Remember, all these can only be arranged by Arhat, I don't worry about others going there!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, Li Sanjin immediately ordered the Arhats to split up and start digging the spring channel and building a shelter on the island.
Li Bai took Leran, Liu Xiaoxiao and Hong Shun back to the island and introduced Sima Heng to Zhuge Leran. That night, everyone chatted on the island all night.
Five days later, the buildings in the cave and the island were basically completed. Stone steps were built at the cave exit, and buildings with different functions were erected in the pear forest.
Li Bai calculated the time and found that the news that Zhuge Leran was going to take charge of the Tongtian Sect should have spread throughout the Tongtian Sect. In other words, the person who wanted to deal with Ge Leran would appear at any time, so everyone had to act according to the plan and wait.
The thief appears.
On the eighth day, in the middle of the night, five strong masked men sneaked into the cave. They groped around in the cave and found that there was no one in the cave. They were surprised. Later they discovered the expansion of the spring along the spring.
They followed the secret path until they reached a fork with eight secret paths. The ninth secret path, which was the safe secret path, was deliberately disguised. So no matter which one they entered, it was full of
There is no way to survive because of the traps. And the result was no surprise. They entered one of them and were all strangled by the traps inside.
Opening the black cloth covering their masks, Hong Shun and others found that none of the masked people knew each other. Li Bai said: "These are just early spies. I believe they will come one after another."
Hong Shun said: "In this case, we need to strengthen peripheral defense."
Li Bai shook his head: "No, we don't want to do anything. We will do whatever needs to be done, and let them come as often as possible! When all the spies are dead, the mastermind will naturally appear."
That night, another ten masked men entered the cave. This time, before they could enter the secret passage, they were surrounded by Hong Shun, Liu Xiaoxiao, Li Sanjin and others. Although these masked men were highly skilled in martial arts, they were surrounded by others.
However, they were helplessly outnumbered and were quickly killed or captured. Hong Shun originally wanted to interrogate the captured people, but he did not expect that once these people were captured, they immediately bit out the poisonous pills at the bottom of their tongues and died of poisoning.
For the next three consecutive days, masked people entered the cave every day. Without exception, they either died of being surrounded or died of poisoning by biting the poison pills themselves.
After five days, about fifty masked people had entered the cave at night and all of them died. These people were all strangers.
Li Bai said: "That's almost it. Fifty people will never come back. I believe the mastermind can't hold it in any longer and will appear soon. Everyone must prepare for this tough battle!"
Liu Xiaoxiao said: "How to prepare?"
Li Bai said: "Starting from tonight, our defense will be appropriately changed. The first line of defense will remain unchanged, the second and third lines of defense will be merged, and a gap will be deliberately left to let these thieves in. When the fighting in the cave begins,
, the people on the second and third lines of defense quickly gathered together and trapped all the invading enemies in the cave. In addition, before nightfall every day, Leran would conduct a high-profile mountain patrol to lead all the thieves into the urn."
"Okay, let's go make arrangements right away." Hong Shun, Liu Xiaoxiao, and Li Sanjin said in unison, and then went out to make arrangements immediately.
Then, Li Bai called for Lu Lunyuan, Liu He, and Qian Duan, and said to the three of them: "Each of you find fifty trustworthy people and spread them out among all the defense lines tonight. They are not responsible for fighting, but are only responsible for keeping an eye on everyone secretly.
Find out all the details of the thieves' arrangements in the separate altars."
The three of them took the order and went to do it immediately.
Li Bai then said to Zhuge Leran: "Leran, this will be a tough battle. We don't know what the opponent's martial arts is, but you are their biggest target, so we must be careful."
Zhuge Leran nodded and said: "Don't worry, brother Li Bai, I have recovered some of my skills these days, and the speed is faster. I have the ability to protect myself."
At this time, Zi Yan took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, handed it to Zhuge Leran and said: "Leran, it must be very tiring for you to run so fast. This is a return pill. Keep it, it will help you."
Quick reply infuriating!”
Zhuge Leran took it happily and said: "Sister Ziyan, don't worry, with so many of you caring about me, nothing will happen to me."
As evening approached, Zhuge Leran rode on his horse and took Hong Shun, Liu Xiaoxiao and Li Sanjin on a high-profile tour of Qianshan according to Li Bai's plan, leaving Hong Shun and Liu Xiaoxiao respectively.
First, second line of defense, and then he took Li Sanjin back to the cave. He placed a chair in front of the secret passage and sat down. He took out the "Immortal Wings" that his father left for him and read it carefully while waiting for the thief.
arrived, and Li Sanjin was guarding him with four Arhats.
