Looking at the dirt road sloping into the mountain from the official road, Li Yan took a deep breath. When he left, it was on this dirt road that Uncle Guo Xin's carriage sat, leaving the place where he was born and raised with Li Shan and Li Yu who were crying. Li Yan's ears seemed to hear the rumble of the carriage and the cry of his mother and fourth sister in the wind.

When the two girls saw Li Yan standing by the road in a daze, they couldn't help but look at each other. The three of them had already put away their magical weapons when they were a hundred miles away from Great Green Mountain. There were already occasional hunters coming and going there, which made it difficult to fly in the air.

After falling, in view of Gong Chenying and Zhao Min's stunning looks, Li Yan didn't want to cause trouble, so he made the two of them transform into bamboo hats and green gauze to cover their faces, and then walked out of Great Green Mountain. By noon, they had reached the official road of Green Mountain Pass. Walking on the pipeline, the three of them People were dressed like this. Li Yan and Gong Chenying were still wearing dark green robes, and Zhao Min was wearing white clothes. The three people's attire was also very eye-catching, but it also attracted the attention of many business travelers on the way. Fortunately, there were not many people coming and going here from hour to noon. After walking for about ten miles, they came to the entrance of the small mountain village.

Along the way, Gong Chenying and Zhao Min had no words to speak, but Zhao Min walked along the road with a curious look on their face. From time to time, they looked at the flowers and plants on the roadside and the passers-by who occasionally glanced sideways at them, their eyes full of curiosity.

Although there is spiritual energy in this area, it is almost negligible. All she smells in her nose is the earthy smell of natural vegetation. No one she meets has any spiritual energy fluctuations. Occasionally, a carriage passes by, and she can easily see it clearly based on her Divine Sense Inside the large carriage on the carriage was an old woman dressed elegantly. Her gray hair was combed spotlessly. She was leaning against the wooden wall of the carriage, her body swaying slightly as the carriage moved forward. She was half-squinting in sleep. There was a maid beside her gently shaking her fan. There was a large low table in the middle of the carriage, and there were several tables beside it. A beautiful woman, when several people were teasing each other, you said, "Hong'er is in love with spring, it must be the eldest son of the Liu family who handed you the brocade handkerchief..." She said, "Second sister, you are so tongue-tied, I just saw you packing a sachet and walking out from behind the courtyard gate a few days ago..." "You... you... shut up, don't you look at me?" I'll tear your little girl's mouth apart..." The girls made a fuss while laughing, and from time to time they picked up the juicy grapes on the table and put them into the mouth of the cherry. However, the old woman who was pretending to sleep half-closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but her face was full of smiles. The carriage rumbled away amid the gentle drink of the coachman...

Those words fell into the ears of Zhao Min, and her jade-like earlobes suddenly burned red. She felt an unknown emotion in her heart about something she had never experienced before. Thinking of those girls, she couldn't help but think of Gong Chenying, who had been with her when she was young. Even the two of them were practicing every day at that time. They couldn't say a few words for several days. They were not as casual and carefree as the girls in the car just now, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

Just thinking about the loving tones spoken by those women again, Zhao Min her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. Remembering that she also had the sachet in her arms that her mother had given her when she was a child, she couldn't help but look through the green gauze at Li Yan who was walking in front of her.

At this moment, Gong Chenying seemed to accidentally hold her jade hand from one side, which shocked her. She felt like someone had peeked into her mind. The hand that was held could not help but tremble slightly, and her face turned a little red. Gong Chenying also looked back at the carriage that was going away, and her heart was also filled with waves.

Along the way, Zhao Min met various people. There was a young couple holding farm tools. When they saw the three of them, they stared at the three of them with strange eyes. They seemed to be shocked by the otherworldly temperament of the three of them. There was envy in their eyes, and then they slowly walked away while whispering to each other...

There are also powerful guests from all walks of life galloping past with their horses and whips raised, their whistles bringing up dust and rolling away...

There was also a strong man in coarse short-sleeved clothes, with a three- or four-year-old child riding on his neck. The child's buttocks kept rising and falling, and he called out in a childish voice, "Drive, drive, drive..." The strong man couldn't help laughing and scolding, and raised his hand to pat the child's butt, "Do you think I am that beast? You damn..."

The business travelers were also traveling in a group of carriages and horses, and they looked extremely wary when meeting people. From time to time, knights and horses were running around the carts filled with goods, but their eyes were sharply looking around. When they saw Li Yan, the three of them were also very wary. Seeing that the three of them had no intention of getting closer, after a few glances, they gradually drifted away with the caravan.

All these things, Zhao Min had never heard of or seen before, and her beautiful eyes were flashing. Even Gong Chenying's mood was touched in some way after seeing these, and the long-lasting fake elixir realm was actually a little loose, which made her startled.

Li Yan is eager to return home, and he is used to this. When he traveled between Strategist Valley and Green Mountain Pass cities, this kind of thing happened every day.

Standing at the intersection, Li Yan took a deep breath while his thoughts were surging. He looked back at the two girls who had been silent. He smiled slightly, then took a step forward and stepped onto the path. However, the moment he stepped onto the path, given his cultivation level, he actually felt his hands and feet trembling.

The mountain road was winding, with a mountain wall on one side and green grass on the other. The three people walked into it. The sounds on the official road behind them gradually became distant. After a few turns, only the silence of heaven and earth, the sound of the three people stepping on the ground, and the "rustling" sound of the wind-blown foxtail grass on the mountain wall were left.

"You... you lived here when you were a child?" As she walked, a clear voice sounded from behind Li Yan. Li Yan was stunned when she heard the words. This was the voice of Zhao Min. She had basically never spoken to him during this journey, and most of the time she was talking to Gong Chenying whispered softly, but Li Yan meditated alone for most of the time. Gong Chenying felt left out Li Yan a few times, and occasionally took the initiative to talk to Li Yan apologetically.

Li Yan raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, turned around and said with a smile, "This place is already away from the mountain."

The village is not far away, and we have arrived after four more turns. When I was young, I would come here often. I would go wild with my third brother and my playmates in the village, go fishing in the river, and pick out birds in the trees. I have walked all over the neighborhood. This is one place, but every time I come out, this is not necessarily the target. It may be other places. But when I get more playful, I wander around, or I come here from another direction. "

When Li Yan said this, even Gong Chenying felt a little envious. She also thought of her childhood. Although she also lived in the mountains, like Zhao Min, she had no playmates. Only the rules of the clan and the constant competition between bloodlines forced her to continuously work hard to practice.

"Oh, is it fun to fish and catch birds every day?" Zhao Min looked at Li Yan strangely.

After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It's easy for immortal cultivators to raise their hands and take photos of objects from a distance. We are all mortals, and there is fun in fishing. It is a kind of waiting for the opportunity, the fun of success and failure, and you can also use ground cages, or sealing up a small river. The process is the happiest. Climbing a tree to dig out birds is also..."

As he was speaking, Li Yan suddenly frowned and raised his head sharply to look at the top of the mountain on one side. At the same time, the two women behind him also raised their heads.

"Why are there immortal cultivators here?" Gong Chenying's voice came over. After the three of them came to the official path, Divine Sense restrained themselves, but their strong cultivation kept their Divine Sense around.

Li Yan's face darkened. What's the purpose of having a cultivator appear here, and so close to his home? He Divine Sense scanned back and forth and found that there was no one else on the mountain road at this time. In a flash, he had disappeared from the place, and Gong Chenying and Zhao Min were also blurred, with no trace left.

On the top of the mountain, two monks in black robes had stood up from crossing their legs and were looking around hesitantly. Just now, three of them Divine Sense appeared, but the three fierce ones had lost their breath.

"This... is this a monk?" One person looked around cautiously.

Another man in black robe Orthodox God spread his consciousness with all his strength, but except for the villagers in the distance, there was no breath of the three people among Divine Sense. Sweat broke out on his face and he couldn't help but drink softly in a low voice.

"Who is sneaking around here?"

His words sent chills down the back of the black-robed man who asked the question before. He knew that this senior brother was a master in the sect. Judging from the sweat on his forehead, he didn't notice him at all. He also shouted softly, "Who are you, fellow Daoist, please show up and meet me."

While the two asked questions, they couldn't help but reach out to Storage Pouch at their waists.

"If it were me, I wouldn't think of taking out the magic weapon." As soon as the two men in black robes touched Storage Pouch, a cold

</di>

A voice suddenly sounded from one side, and then as the two of them were shocked, a figure suddenly appeared two feet away from them, and the space was slightly distorted. This figure appeared so suddenly, without making any sound at all, and it was so close to them. Just as the two were shocked, another bone-chilling voice sounded behind them, "Are you disciples of the Blood Leaf Sect?"

This sound made the two of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice kiln. They turned around hurriedly and found two people wearing green gauze and bamboo hats standing there. The voice sounded like a woman.

But the aura of the three people who suddenly appeared made them feel weak, and they felt as if they had met the ancestors of the sect. Among them, the man in black robe was the first to shout softly. The person who asked the question after hearing it seemed to know their sect. He relaxed a little in his heart, and made a half-circle arch towards the three of them, and spoke hurriedly.

"Junior Xueye Zongxu is here. Wang Wuyi pays homage to the three seniors."

"As expected, they are from the Blood Leaf Sect. What are you two doing here?" Li Yan narrowed his eyes. He had just noticed that the two of them were wearing Blood Leaf Sect clothes, so he did not take action immediately. After seeing the Blood Leaf Sect clothes clearly, he had already thought of some possibilities.

"Three seniors, we are here to wait for the family of a monk here. This monk is Wangliang Sect monk." The monk who called himself Xu Shi hurriedly spoke. The two of them are masters in the sect, and their cultivation levels have reached the ninth level and Qi Condensation respectively. On the eighth floor, the three people in front of him had terrifying auras. He felt that the other party could kill both of them with just one thought, so he hurriedly said it. He was also afraid that these three people were monks passing by and would take action before he could explain clearly, so he hurriedly moved Wangliang Sect out.

When Gong Chenying and Zhao Min heard this, they couldn't help but look at Li Yan with strange expressions on their faces. Li Yan felt relieved after hearing this. As expected, he still said coldly, "Wangliang Sect monk's family? Why do you need you to wait here?"

When Xu Shi heard this, he continued to ask, and he also heard the softening of Li Yan's tone. He couldn't help but feel relieved, and secretly thought that he was lucky enough to see the opportunity quickly and said Wangliang Sect, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain. But he was still respectful and did not dare to raise his head. He and Wang Wuyi continued to answer respectfully, "This is the order given by our sect, Master Xueye, to the three monks Wangliang Sect four years ago. He asked me to wait here in turn for one and two Lineage from the nearby sect and not allow the two dynasties on the border to harm this place."

"Oh? What's the name of the person you're waiting for in this mountain village?" Li Yan's words became softer.

"This... all the villages in this mountain village have the surname Li, but this Shangzong monk was originally a member of the Green Mountain Pass army, and joined the Wangliang Sect four years ago." Xu Shi heard Li Yan's voice softening, and felt more and more relieved. It seemed that no one dared to offend the Wangliang Sect name, but it was just a strange question.

But he didn't know that Li Yan asked the question deliberately. With his carefulness, he seemed to be casual, but he deliberately casually confirmed the truth and falsehood of the two people's words.
