Contrary to Li Shan's expectation, as soon as he went out, he felt a pain on the top of the door and fell down immediately. In his daze, he vaguely heard the guard sneer: "Good luck to you, boy..."
When he woke up, he was on a tidal flat by the river. The sky was already dark, and the river made a rustling sound. Occasionally, water splashed on his face, which was cool, and most of his upper body was wet.
He sat up suddenly, turned his head and looked around, but did not find anyone. After staying for a moment, he carefully did something, using the Heavenly Snake method to solve the problem of luck, and a layer of gray that seemed to be invisible appeared on his body. The scales and the two eyes turn into vertical pupils, and the light color is hazy yellow, which naturally has a cold meaning.
There is still no response from the surroundings.
You must know that in prison, even if his cultivation is fine, he will definitely be beaten as long as he plays with this skill. How can it be like now, with only the river lazily brushing the shore?
Li Shan finally came up with a thought: Is this, being released? Then... He jumped up suddenly and looked around. Under the dark sky, there were piles of rocks on the beach. For a moment, he couldn't see if there was anyone. He felt anxious and shouted:
"Sun Jie, are you there?"
The sound spread far away and even swept across the river, but there was no response.
Li Shan's face darkened. Although he and Sun Jie were detained separately at first, they were not far apart, and they could see each other occasionally. However, half a year ago, no matter what Jianxuan had in mind, he took Sun Jie away. To this day, there is no news. Life is death. But since then, the intensity of his supervision has continued to decline... Could it be that Lun Jianxuan finally confirmed that he had nothing to do with Guiyan and was too lazy to raise him and waste rations, so he kicked him out?
Soon he shook his head again. In the eyes of monk Lunjianxuan, he was just a "devil brat". Instead of going through all the trouble, it would be easier to kill him with one sword.
So...
He had a vague realization, but he was still concerned after all. He ran around the tidal flat several times, and finally gave up. He stamped his feet and jumped into the river. He was swept away by the river and disappeared.
Drifting along the river, the cold water made his mind clearer. In fact, all business people understand that no matter how valuable the treasure is, it is useless in the hand. It can only be seen when it flows to the market. to its value.
Even though he has been imprisoned for more than half a year, he knows very well that Lunjianxuan has not caught Guiyan yet. If Guiyan is not caught, he will have some value, and maybe he will have some value. Opportunity, let those big guys who have their eyes above their heads give it a try.
Unexpectedly, that shapeless thought really became a reality. Then again, by letting him out, does it mean that Lun Jianxuan's plan on Sun Jie has failed? In this case... At the bottom of the river, Li Shan lowered his head, and when he raised it again, it turned into a snake's vertical pupils. Over the years, he has long known that worrying about things that are out of reach is too luxurious. Instead of doing this, it is better to cover your head and sleep, or do what you can really do.
In this way, he drifted eastward along the river and never appeared again. The movement of the Heavenly Snake method gave him almost endless inner breathing. Later, he also learned to use his skin to breathe, and when he was hungry, he would kill fish and shrimp underwater to eat them raw. In this way, he spent most of the previous year The good state of spiritual practice continued, and it was chaotic. I didn't know the passage of time. I only knew that the river was getting warmer and the types of swimming fish became more abundant.
Suddenly one day, there was a muffled sound of thunder, pouring through the layers of river water. Stirred by the thunder, an irrepressible heat burst out inside his body, and he couldn't help but scream. Screaming, it rushed up from the bottom of the river and broke out of the water.
Friction with the water on the way caused another layer of skin to peel off!
When his head came out of the water, he saw lightning like a dragon, spreading its teeth and claws along the edge of the dark clouds, dragging through the air, reflected in his dim vertical pupils. The violent energy from heaven and earth overflowed and turned into invisible pressure, pressing down on the head.
Cultivation people are always sensitive to such changes in the world, and God often "favors" monks. A thunderbolt can be thrown at any time and anywhere, so he will naturally close his energy to avoid being hit by lightning. , and then, he was shocked to find that his limbs and bones were accessible everywhere. As soon as his thoughts came up, he unconsciously locked on a key point or a node. Make a resonant sound.
This is... Cardinal Dingding!
After the nine transformations of the Heavenly Snake, even if the method to reach the divine realm is complete, it is a huge surprise to be able to break through the barrier and set the cauldron in one go.
This is the realm of returning elixirs, which is what the Great Immortal Purple Thunder was back then. That’s it. Monks at this level have formed the most stable backbone of the practice world, and even have the power to support a small sect.
It is now around the time of Jingzhe, and it has been about a year since he arrived in the southern country. After entering the country like this for a year, Li Shan also grinned and laughed twice, but soon his expression turned pale again.
Struggling in the Northern Wasteland for many years, when he first arrived in the Southern Kingdom, he encountered such changes. If his vision was still focused on the days of the Shuangxian Sect, these years would have been in vain. Now that Cardinal Dingding has entered the realm of returning elixirs, he will not make any big progress for a while, so he must divert some of his energy.
When he came to the Southern Kingdom, he originally came to pursue Daoyi Yuchan, but recently, through some interactions with the Lord, he knew that the matter seemed to be resolved. At the moment, he had nothing to do and didn't know what to do.
The head and face were slightly cold, but the heavy rain was pouring down, making the river surface white. However, the continuous lights on the left bank were still eye-catching, and it was obviously a relatively large gathering area. In the South, as long as the terrain is flat and close to rivers and lakes, there are always more or less people living together. Legend has it that a huge population of hundreds of millions and the corresponding prosperity are accumulated in this way.
Li Shan planned to go to inquire about the news first to see how the situation in the southern country was recently, and then make plans.
He had been practicing cultivation in the river for many days, and his clothes had already been soaked to death. Most of the Ruyi coins and Longgong shells commonly used in southern countries had been lost some time ago, so he had no choice but to be a gentleman in Liang Shang for once and get his clothes. , and took the rain gear before going to a crowded place.
As he walked and asked, he soon learned that this was the northern area of Tianma City. There was actually a border with Yuankong City where he was captured when he was captured, but the straight-line distance was always tens of thousands of miles away. It is bordered by Yuankong to the north and Hailong to the east. It can be regarded as a hub thoroughfare and has its own prosperity. Even if it is raining heavily now, there are many pedestrians walking back and forth on the street.
Walking a little further, he saw a teahouse on the side of the road. He wanted to go in and hear the news. Unexpectedly, before he could enter, he heard shouting and noise inside, and then a loud voice said angrily:
"How can it not be true? I saw with my own eyes that Li Daxian's sword struck Lu Suhua through the chest and severely injured her, and she hit Donghua Mountain. The mountain peaks in the south were broken. From the beginning to the end, Lu Chen did not show up. If How could it be like this if he wasn’t dead?”
