It had been a long time since I had received any news from Zhuoshui, so Liu Xiaolou quickly opened it.
In the letter, Zuo Gaofeng informed Liu Xiaolou of the current progress of the war and the current situation of Wulong Mountain fellow cultivators.
The war has been going on for half a year. According to private discussions among Wulong Mountain fellow cultivators people, most people believe that Gengsang Cave has summoned about 600 Badong cultivator people this time, and Zhanglong Sect has summoned more than 800 people. Many of them are not Xiangxi rogue cultivator, but from Xiangnan and Xiangzhong.
Therefore, despite the fact that only Zhanglong Sect is blocking the front, behind the scenes, it should be supported by the Dongyang Sect and Tianmu Mountain. Of course, it is unknown whether Gengsang Cave has the support of other Bashu sect. After all, in the eyes of Jingxiang cultivator, Bashu cultivator seems to have the same tone when speaking, and it is really difficult to distinguish.
Eight hundred versus six hundred, the advantage lies with me, so Wulong Mountain fellow cultivatorss still have some confidence in holding Zhuoshui in the end and driving Badong cultivator back. However, there was a stalemate for half a year, two major battles, and countless small battles between you and me. Wulong Mountain fellow cultivators generally everyone was injured.
He himself, Longshan the Rogue Cultivator, and Tan Bazhang have all been seriously injured more than once. If it weren't for the elixir brought by Liu Xiaolou, it would be very difficult to say now. However, the comrades gained a lot. They each got a lot of good things from Badong cultivator's dead body, and pooled money to buy a batch of elixirs from Tianmen Market. They are currently in good condition.
Of course, losses cannot be avoided. In the past few months, five more Daoist friends from Wulong Mountain have died in battle. Among them, Liu Xiaolou is more familiar with Second Brother in Seven Friends of Guzhang Mountain. From now on, Guzhang Mountain will not have seven brothers, but only six brothers.
This is a very sad news. Thinking of Second Uncle, who had a wrinkled face and smiled like an old farmer in the field, Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but feel sad.
At a glance, a total of nine Wulong Mountain fellow cultivatorss have lost their lives by Zuoshui. If it were you, would you be able to survive?
From this aspect, no matter whether he lived a satisfactory life in Shenwu Mountain, no matter whether the Su family treated him well or not, at least under the shelter of this big tree, he was not transferred to a place where life and death were unknown. He must accept this love.
Zuo Gaofeng also said in the letter that this war may be coming to an end soon. Gengsang Cave cannot defeat Zhuoshui. Various signs indicate that they are ready to retreat. Everyone is ready and determined to fight back hard when the enemy retreats and strive to seize some loot.
Finally, Zuo Gaofeng said that he had thought of a name for his child. If he could not come back, he would ask Liu Xiaolou to help take care of the child. If he has the qualifications to practice when he grows up, he would ask Liu Xiaolou to take him under his wing.
Liu Xiaolou looked at Aunt Li's belly and asked, "What is the name of the child?"
Aunt Li stroked his belly and said, "If it's a boy, let's call it Zuo Wanshan. If it's a girl, let's call it Zuo Qianshui."
Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but smile and nodded, "What a good name."
Not long after, Li Busan shouted outside the house, "Martial Uncle! Mother-in-law! Aunt! The fish soup is here..."
A basin of steaming fish soup was brought in, and the old woman and Aunt Li quickly cleared the table and arranged wooden bowls and bamboo chopsticks.
Aunt Lu, who had gone out to fetch water before, also came in with a rice bowl. He glanced at Liu Xiaolou with some fear. "Just now... I went to fetch water..."
Liu Xiaolou said with a straight face, "As long as you don't mean to be lazy!"
Aunt Lu was so panicked that she pinched her fingers hard. "No, I don't dare to be lazy... I don't dare..."
Liu Xiaolou's face softened. "Sit down and eat together."
Aunt Lu accompanied the smiling face and quickly started serving food for everyone.
Li Busan whispered, "Martial Uncle, Aunt Lu is very diligent."
Liu Xiaolou nodded. "I got it, and you. Cultivation is not about sitting still. Cultivation is in every moment and everywhere in life. What is sitting still? It's a bastard! Chopping wood, carrying water, living and cooking are all practices! If you don't do anything or don't know how to do anything, you will be a fool. A fool who can't do anything. At most, he can be regarded as a large humanoid spiritual stone, which is just transferring the spiritual power from the stone to the body."
Li Busan kept nodding. "I heard from Master that when Martial Uncle went up the mountain, he also started by chopping wood and carrying water?"
Liu Xiaolou smiled, "Think about those days... you drink soup, drink the soup first. This is good stuff, a tonic fish soup. Aunt Li Drink more, and you will have enough milk in the future... Think of those days, Martial Uncle I was only eight years old when I went up the mountain, and as soon as I entered In the small courtyard Qianzhu Ridge, you can see that the house has collapsed, the fence has fallen down, and the grass is growing wildly... The teacher handed me a sickle and said, Xiaolou, now I will teach you how to cut the grass. You must remember that cutting grass is also practice. If you learn this practice, you can earn spiritual stones in the future..."
That night, lights were dimly lit in General's Temple, and laughter and laughter floated out of the window from time to time. After dinner, Liu Xiaolou went to Li Busan's room to teach him how to use the real energy in Meridians, how to open acupuncture points, and other tips. Of course he won't use the Yin Yang Technique method to give guidance. As a Qi Refining Level 5, he still has the basic skills to use normal methods to guide a young man who is still struggling on the first Meridians.
The next day, Liu Xiaolou left General's Temple and returned to the mountain. On the mountain road, he happened to meet Yun Ao who came to pay homage to the mountain. He quickly apologized. "Brother Yun is here... This... I'm really sorry to keep Brother Yun waiting for so long. I just came back last month. As you know, this time I was invited by the Jinting Sect to refine the mountain protection formation at Jinting Mountain..."
Yun Ao said, "I know, so isn't this going up the mountain? But I heard that you have been back for nearly a month, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Liu Xiaolou defended. "Jinting Mountain was valued by Formation Master Tang Song during this trip. I stayed with him as an assistant and got his guidance. I learned a lot. After I came back, I rethought the construction of the array to see if there was any improvement. Therefore, I was a little late. It was not intentional."
Yun Ao asked hurriedly, "How is the improvement? Are there any new changes?"
Liu Xiaolou did consider improving the formation disk in Jinting Mountain, but it was just an idea and had not been implemented yet. Moreover, he was busy improving his practice after returning, so where could he find time to tinker with the formation disk? But Yun Ao didn't understand, so he boasted. "It's more refined and subtle. Brother Yun will know it once you try it!"
So Yun Ao was overjoyed. "Just stay here, hurry up, my family... um... it's better to be here these days, I don't have to go up and down the mountain, and I save seven or eight miles!"
Liu Xiaolou did not refuse, and immediately found a quiet place with leeward wind, and started Lin Yuan Xuan Shi Formation.
Yun Ao entered the formation for a long time, then hurriedly raised his hand to signal and then exited, with a happy face. "Sure enough, it is more refined and subtle! I'm leaving first!"
Where are the improvements? It was obviously several months apart, so everything was new again. Of course, Liu Xiaolou will not expose it. He bids farewell with a smile and reminds before leaving, "Brother Yun has seven more times!"
Yun Ao quickly returned home and waved. "I got it!"
Suddenly he stopped again and said to Liu Xiaolou, "I almost forgot, something happened to your Thirteenth Young Master. He was washing the water, and he seemed to be caught by Badong cultivator."
