Chapter 245: Warlocks should give up immortality, and whale fishermen have seen Guan Yi (asking for monthly tickets)

Hou Zhongyu?
So strong?
Li Guanyi was surprised when he heard such a long list of names. Although he knew from the amazing effect of the prescription prepared by Hou Zhongyu that this old sorcerer was no ordinary person, Li Guanyi

After all, Chen Dingye was suspicious, while his previous brothers and father all had their strengths. The fact that Hou Zhongyu was able to maintain his title as the number one sorcerer of the Chen royal family and occupy the Qilin Palace under the rule of several generations of emperors with different personalities is very telling.

The chief sorcerer is equipped with prescriptions, magic and formations.

The level of one’s own realm cannot explain the problem.

However, he didn't expect that he still underestimated Hou Zhongyu.

If Hou Zhongyu had not anticipated the relationship between Li Guanyi and Qilin and had not been controlled by the Qilin Fire, Li Guanyi would not have been able to kill this man. Among the many opponents he defeated and killed in the State of Chen, there were people like the illegitimate son of Emperor Chen and Situ Deqing, one of the top ten assassins in the world, both of whom had special identities and martial arts.

But looking back now, it is Hou Zhongyu who has the highest gold content.

But Li Guanyi was not sure about the old sorcerer's attitude towards Hou Zhongyu.

For a moment, she didn't know how to answer. The old sorcerer dissolved the pill in water and handed it to Yaoguang. After Yaoguang made a judgment, she swallowed it in small sips. It seemed quite bitter. The girl's face became a little stiff, and then she took a small breath.

He raised his neck slightly and drank the whole pill in one gulp.

Li Guanyi said: "I do have a connection with Hou Zhongyu."

The old sorcerer looked at him and said, "Oh?"

"How deep?"

Li Guanyi said calmly: "We can be considered friends of life and death."

"However, I respect Hou Zhongyu's teacher more. I also got a letter from Hou Zhongyu that his teacher wrote to his friend. Senior, do you have a pen and paper? I will write this letter for you."

The sorcerer remained silent and went to get him paper and pen. Li Guanyi took out a sugar pill from his arms and stuffed it into Yaoguang's mouth. The girl shook her body, then Li Guanyi smiled, picked up the pen and wrote down the letter he had written that day from Hou Zhongyu's collection.

Li Guanyi's calligraphy and handwriting were personally taught by Murong Qiushui.

He has no talent.

It is impossible to become a large family of its own.

But things like imitating handwriting are certainly basic skills.

After Li Guanyi wrote down the letter from the unknown sorcerer, he paused, wrote down complicated words on another piece of white paper in one breath, and then handed the two items to the sorcerer and said calmly:

"What I just wrote down is the handwritten letter from that senior. As for this, it is the technique mentioned in the letter."

"He stole your skills and hid them in the palace of the Chen Kingdom."

"It took me a decade to finally calm down and exhaust the evil in this technique, and then combined it with the elixir of immortality to create a new martial art called 'Eternal Blue Moon Immortal Divine Body'."

The warlock remained silent as he flipped through the letter.

Seeing what his disciple said in the letter, 'We are alchemists, not from the three sects of the secular world, nor from the orthodox Xuan Sect of Taoism. We walk in the middle of good and evil, and there is only one taboo.'

'Said: Don't overdo it, don't overdo the good, don't overdo the evil.'

See also later said:

'Pure goodness is Tao, pure evil is Owl'

'We only seek a technique, to know a "stop" and to understand a "sufficiency".'

These were the words he used to say often to his disciples. The old sorcerer was in a trance, recalling how he picked up this child from the troubled times and taught him hand in hand until he grew up. One day it was raining heavily, and when he saw a pedestrian outside, he kindly invited the man to take shelter from the rain.

What happened afterwards was like a big dream.

When he woke up, the disciple had died and his era was over.

The sorcerer remained silent for a long time, and then saw the "Immortal Body of the Eternal Blue Moon". That was the martial arts he created when he was crazy by combining the teachings of the Green Robe Immortal Guest. It took the child sixty years to break the evil spirit in it.

They are master and apprentice in name, but like father and son in relationship.

The sorcerer said: "You don't have to write down this martial art."

Li Guanyi answered frankly: "That senior spent his entire life perfecting this technique and kept it well preserved. He probably wanted to apologize to you. I have practiced this martial art and survived many disasters. Now I have the honor to meet you."

"In this way, it can be regarded as returning the property to its original owner."

The sorcerer touched the ink writing on the letter. Li Guanyi imitated the handwriting of Hou Zhongyu's teacher. The old sorcerer touched the words. For a moment, he did not feel any grief, but was in a trance. He asked, "How is my disciple?"

"I just heard that the current successor of my lineage is called Hou Zhongyu, but I haven't heard any news about him for a long time."

Li Guanyi hesitated and replied:

"He was killed by his disciple, Hou Zhongyu."

"Hou Zhongyu is an orphan he rescued during the chaos of war decades ago."

The old sorcerer remained silent for a long time, then said, "This is my fate, what can I do?"

"I can sense the scent of my immortality elixir on you. You have the letter, the technique, and the scent of the immortality elixir. If my guess is correct, Hou Zhongyu, the traitor, must have been killed by you."

"You also took the immortality elixir, right?"

Li Guanyi exhaled and responded calmly: "It's a fight of life and death."

"If I were to do it again, I would also take the immortality elixir!"

The old sorcerer smiled and said, "It's great."

However, he did not seem to be as obsessed with the elixir of immortality as Hou Zhongyu.

He just said, "Have you taken it? Then take it... Immortality potion, immortality potion, what's the point of dying and coming back to life?" The sorcerer stretched out his hand, holding the skill in his hand, and said, "Give me this flute."

Li Guanyi picked up the bamboo flute and handed it to the old man. The old man picked up a string of vermilion thread and wrapped it around the bamboo flute. The thread, which was obviously vermilion, glowed with golden light in an instant. It was densely packed like a talisman. The old man made several hand gestures.

A golden mark appeared on the bamboo flute and then disappeared.

The vermilion rope was wrapped around the green bamboo flute, which looked more dynamic than before. The old sorcerer said in a hoarse voice, "Consider it as a reward."

"If you return my disciple's skills to me, I will leave a few seals on this bamboo flute for you... The magic weapon has its owner. If you don't take care of the magic weapon in your hand, it will be easy for the green-robed man to find you. But now, as long as he doesn't get close to you within a certain distance, it will be difficult for him to detect you."

"Little kid, how is your injury?"

He looked at Yaoguang, who replied, "It's warm already."

The sorcerer said, "I have been entangled with this green-robed man for a hundred years. He has destroyed everything I have. I am no match for him, but I have learned a lot from his skills and methods. We are just restraining each other."

He said with a wooden face: "I have treated your illness. We will not keep you in this rural area."

Li Guanyi said goodbye and left here with Yaoguang. The two rode away for a distance. Looking back, they saw that the sunset in this simple village had almost disappeared. There were bursts of frog croaking in the pond. They both breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect to see such a reclusive person in this village.

Yaoguang's injuries have healed, and Li Guan feels relieved. In addition, the bamboo flute on his waist has also been sealed in a similar way to the Chixiao Sword. Even the Chixiao Sword, which is recognized as the world's most powerful magic weapon, can be sealed by this old sorcerer, so the bamboo flute is no problem at all.

Not only did it cure Yaoguang's illness, but it also brought an unexpected surprise.

Li Guanyi took Yaoguang back to the Gongsun family without mentioning it.

In the village, the old sorcerer chopped wood, drank tea, and cooked. Everything was normal and he had no emotional fluctuations. But at night, it suddenly started to rain. The rain was quite heavy, hitting the eaves with a crackling sound, sliding down and falling into the puddles.

The sorcerer lit the lamp and read the letter over and over again. At first, he did not feel any heartache. Logically, he should feel sad, but the old sorcerer's heart was numb. He just read a certain sentence in the letter.

'We only seek a technique, to know a "stop" and to understand a "sufficiency".'

But he couldn't help but think that this was the first sentence he said when he taught this disciple. Others thought it was just an ordinary sentence, but to him it was full of melancholy and confusion. He looked back and forth, feeling heartbroken and shedding tears.

It was not until this moment that the huge, suffocating feeling of loneliness came over me.

This incredibly talented sorcerer finally realized it clearly at this moment.

The disciple who trapped himself died at the hands of his disciple's grandson.

And the reason why his disciple accepted his grandson was just the same as the reason why he accepted him back then - the disciple with complicated emotions died, and the enemy who killed the disciple died at the hands of someone else, so this lineage had no ancestor and no successor.

The world is so big, but he is the only old and lonely one here.

Looking outside, the sky and the earth were pitch black with twinkling stars. The vastness and loneliness were driving people crazy. The old sorcerer burst into tears, thinking that if he had not been kind enough to let the passerby stay that day, he would not have been crazy for a hundred years, and his disciple would have accepted a better disciple.

I would practice sorcery and make elixirs in a secluded place and die peacefully, instead of swallowing human blood, going crazy like a demon, eating raw meat and drinking blood for decades, and deserve to die, but strangely coming back to life.

He stroked the disciple's letter with his palm, but gritted his teeth and said, "The Green Robe Immortal Guest..."

"I have known how to destroy your body over the past few decades."

The sorcerer left the disciple's letter behind, but picked up the scroll that recorded "The Immortal Body of the Eternal Blue Moon" and ignited it into fire. The flames reflected in the old sorcerer's eyes, "I want nothing more than to live in this world."

"I will kill you in this life!!!"

"The dream of longevity should be pursued by the sorcerer who pursues immortality."

"Sever it with your own hands!"

........................

Li Guanyi stayed in the Gongsun family for a few more days, but for some reason, Sima Ming and Jian Kuang never arrived. Li Guanyi asked the Gongsun family to find out the news.

The news received was not true.

No one knows where old man Siming is, but it is widely rumored in the martial arts world that there is a man with a sword energy similar to Murong Longtu who is chasing a man in a green robe. He can split mountains and cut rivers, fighting and retreating, and no one knows where he went.

Although Li Guanyi regretted that his great grandfather could not arrive in time, he could also infer from the news that Murong Longtu was not at a disadvantage, but was chasing the green-robed immortal guest and slashing wildly. Li Guanyi suspected that his great grandfather's sword energy at the moment was enough to defeat the green-robed immortal guest.

But it's hard to kill this guy in one breath.

You can only use sword energy to continuously drain away the opponent's vitality.

But the young man thought, maybe it was because his great-grandfather had been wandering the world for two hundred years, and basically anyone who was hit by his sword would fall to the ground, but he didn't expect to meet a guy today who could not be killed no matter how hard he tried, so he was in a playful mood and took this guy as an opponent for sword practice, right?
What the hell? Can’t I kill him?

What about this sword?

Still can't kill? Okay, let's try again!
It sounds outrageous to use a martial arts legend to practice swordplay.

But when it comes to the sword maniac Murong Longtu, it seems very reasonable.

Li Guanyi grinned. The aristocratic families within a three thousand miles radius, including the Gongsun family, were competing and preparing to choose the leader of the martial arts world to deal with the chaos in this world.

Gongsun Feixue and Li Guanyi are introducing this grand event:
"The reason? It is to unite all the like-minded people, form an alliance, and share the same interests. Only then can we stand firm in this chaotic world..." Gongsun Feixue originally wanted to briefly talk about the turmoil in this chaotic world.

But when he saw the young Taoist priest eating a snack slowly over there, his voice paused. Gongsun Feixue suddenly felt that it was boring to talk to this guy about the turbulent times in the martial arts world.

Among the hands that stirred up the storm in this chaotic world, there must be a hand that belongs to Li Guanyi, the Qin Wu Hou from Jiangnan.

He has personally destroyed such a powerful force as the Yin-Yang Rotating Sect.

Only when she thought about how poor this guy was, could Gongsun Feixue calm down a little. What if he dominated the world and swallowed Jiangnan? After all, he still had an ordinary side.

She held the teacup and said:

"In short, it is impossible to explain all the major events in the world in one breath."

Wan Mingyi said: "No, no, if this is not made clear, how can Taoist Li know the weight of the leader of the martial arts world?"

Gongsun Feixue said: "In fact, it can be explained clearly in one sentence."

Wan Mingyi shook his head and said, "No, no, it definitely cannot be explained in one sentence. I think it will take at least ten sentences."

Gongsun Feixue was furious and picked up the teacup as if to smash it. Only then did Wan Mingyi calm down and talk about something else, wondering, "Strange, where did Gongye Boxu go? I haven't seen him in the past few days."

Gongsun Feixue was also a little curious.

Gongye Boxu was also a good friend. He had arrived at the Gongsun family at the same time as Li Guanyi. But no one knew where he had gone in the past few days. No one had seen him. Gongsun Feixue said, "Maybe something happened in the family, so he left in a hurry."

Gongsun Feixue said: "The leader of the martial arts world here has only one ability, which is to mobilize all the martial arts forces within a radius of 3,000 miles. As long as a reasonable explanation is given to the leader's orders, these martial arts forces will obey."

"Even if half of the families disagree, the leader still has three chances to make a judgment. All the Jianghu forces in the alliance must obey. Those who disobey will be regarded as traitors to the alliance, and all the noble families in the alliance can attack them together."

Li Guanyi ate some snacks and said, "Then the Wulin leader has great power."

Wan Mingyi said: "That is it."

"That's why the Motian Sect wants to intervene. It is said that they have 10,000 disciples under their command. If we add the various sects within a radius of 3,000 miles, there will be 20,000 or 20,000 martial artists under their command who will obey their orders. They are all skilled martial artists."

"He has the Gongsun family's mechanical devices, the Sun family's medical books, and my Wan family's projectile skills. Many aristocratic families are good at their own unique skills. If he serves under him at that time, he will definitely be able to dominate the world."

"In fact, not only being the best in the world, but also having a share of the world's pie is not absolutely impossible."

Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something, then he picked up a melon and ate it slowly.

Wan Mingyi was a little discouraged and said, "I just hate that Ximen. Although he is an old guy with low character, his martial arts skills are first-class. Our forces are good at various martial arts, but they are slightly inferior in internal strength."

"The mechanism and medical skills can help you gain a foothold in the world."

"But it can't stop an upright warrior."

Li Guanyi asked curiously, "If he really beats you all, do you have to listen to him?"

Wan Mingyi frowned and replied:
"Of course... that's it!"

"If a person in the martial arts world refuses to admit defeat after losing, what kind of person is that?"

"However, the previous leader of the martial arts world also said that as long as anyone can stop the Motian Sect, all the noble families within the three thousand miles will treat them with respect. They will be our honored guests. If we can defeat that guy in a critical moment, we will win!"

"Whoever wins will be the leader of the martial arts world!"

"You can command all the Jianghu families within a radius of 3,000 miles to serve you."

Li Guan, who was eating melons, paused.

Such courage actually surprised him.

So I ate a bite of melon to calm myself down.

Wan Mingyi sighed again and said, "It's a pity that all the Grandmaster-level warriors who could possibly defeat him have gone to the academy to prepare for the battle with the sword maniac. Otherwise, there would be some warriors who would take action, right?"

"It's hard to say. After all, the time is too tight and the incident happened too suddenly."

"The elders all said that since we lost to the Motian Sect, and it was an outsider from the Motian Sect who was the leader of the martial arts world, then we should just find a stronger outsider to take the position. Anyway, they will never listen to the Motian Sect."

"Old dog Simon is still planning to use the dragon to suppress us."

"Go eat shit!"

Wan Mingyi cursed loudly, and then said suspiciously:
"But, this kid Bo Xu can't be found anywhere."

"Is this kid going to be a deserter?"

Gongsun Feixue said: "It shouldn't be that serious."

Wan Mingyi didn't have the leisure to care about such things. He just sighed with regret and was troubled by the affairs of the Motian Sect. Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something - the many noble families in the area of ​​3,000 miles were not the kind of martial arts sects.

But it is similar to the Gongsun family.

In the martial arts world, it is not all about fighting and killing. There are merchants, doctors, and all kinds of skills in the martial arts world. Some people use them to comprehend superior martial arts, take in disciples, gather relatives, and slowly become big or small families.

These types of martial artists may not be good at fighting, but they must have some unique skills, such as the mechanical skills of the Gongsun family, the medical skills of the Sun family and the Bian family, and even the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Li Guanyi became slightly interested and his mind became active.

He is not interested in being the leader of the martial arts world here.

But if we can lend a hand, and then... ahem, invite some talents to join the Jiangnan Qilin Army, it would be a good thing.

Li Guanyi threw the warning in Yan Daiqing's letter and his own sincerity in reply to the back of his mind. Only two days later, when the local families began to compete for the leader of the martial arts world, a spy from the Gongsun family came to report.

It was said that a thousand soldiers from the State of Chen were approaching. Gongsun Wuyue met Li Guanyi and asked if he wanted to bring his clan members with bows and crossbows. Li Guanyi declined and said, "There is no need to do so. The State of Chen sent soldiers but did not immediately tear apart the relationship."

"If the Gongsun family directly uses bows and crossbows to deal with them, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles. Of course, Chen State is unreasonable, but Chen State is a big country in the world, and the Gongsun family is just a local family. The situation is stronger than people, and there is nothing we can do."

Gongsun Feixue couldn't help but be surprised and said: "That's a thousand soldiers and horses, they are armored soldiers, and you are only one person, how is it possible?"

Gongsun Wu Yue was calm and said, "What do you need?"

Li Guanyi cupped his hands and smiled:
"A fast horse and a few yards of cloth are enough."

"Oh, by the way, if possible, please prepare some desserts."

Gongsun Wu Yue looked at him deeply and agreed.

The female head of the Jianghu family suddenly smiled and said, "If you can solve this problem, then I will immediately send craftsmen to Jiangnan..."

"Thirty craftsmen."

Li Guan was stunned.

Gongsun Wuyue smiled and said:
"Although I am a woman of the Jianghu, I also have heroic spirit."

"Since you have done three things, then my Gongsun family should also show sincerity, and that will be the alliance you need in troubled times, isn't it?"

Li Guan laughed and said, "Thank you, Master's Wife!"

Gongsun Wu Yue sighed and accepted the title.

Li Guanyi was calm and composed, saying, "Please ask Master's Wife to call out these thirty craftsmen. It should be about time for them to gather. I will be right back!"

Gongsun Feixue brought the warhorse over, and as Li Guanyi said, she brought some snacks over. She was just curious about why the young man was eating these at this time. The snacks were just made and were still steaming hot. Li Guanyi did not take them, but just said, "Please leave them here."

He flew into the air and landed on the back of the warhorse. He pulled the reins and the warhorse galloped wildly outside. The young man clamped his legs around the horse's back and leaned out. The silver-haired girl stretched out her hand, and Li Guanyi stretched out his hand to pull Yaoguang up.

The girl sat in front of him, and Li Guanyinai laughed and said, "Miss Feixue, put the snacks aside for now, they are not what I want to eat. My friend is finally more energetic, and he needs to eat something after this."

Gongsun Feixue said, "It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Li Guanyi replied: "It's hot in the summer, it won't get cold."

The young man rode away with a spear in hand, to face the thousands of soldiers alone.

There was a strong and heroic aura. Yaoguang turned her head slightly, with doubt in her eyes, but she found nothing. In a place that neither Li Guanyi nor Yaoguang noticed, a silver-haired man stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the boy and girl who were walking away.

He snorted, thought about it, and moved his feet slightly.

I just followed the two people from a distance:

"What a big lie!"

"I'll go see what skills you have!"
