Fairy cage

After a night banquet, everyone took a rest and kept vigil.

In the wooden house, people were of various colors and manners, and there were sounds of people sleeping soundly.

Yu Lie did not fall asleep directly. He continued to sit cross-legged next to the dimmed fire pit, lightly tasting the remaining wine in the wine glass.

He was quietly thinking about the news he learned from other people.

The reason why Yu Lie took the opportunity to join Shan Daotong's team was that he wanted this group of people to help him guide him, and also to inquire about the current situation of Dadian soldiers, so that he could make a response.

At the banquet just now, everyone had a great time, and without Yu Lie's deliberate guidance, Shan Daotong and others told everyone what they knew.

After thinking about it, Yu Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

This time, except for the initial night attack, there were no big changes in the large-scale troops.

Although several high-ranking officials died in the town, they were all killed during the night attack, and nothing like this happened again.

And among the Taoist boys who came down the mountain in Heishui Town, there were actually some who were one step ahead and were promoted to high-ranking Taoist boys. After the opponent was promoted, he stayed in a stronghold and never came out again. He was already semi-separated from this large-scale attack.

The reason for this, according to Shan Daotong and others, is that the town is worried that the high-ranking Daotong who has just broken through will easily be targeted by the other two towns, causing unnecessary losses.

Yu Lie thought to himself: "In this case, after I arrive at a station in the town and reveal my cultivation level, I'd better stop walking around casually. It's better to be cautious, lest I be taken seriously by others. If you pinch the soft persimmon, you will lose your life."

He began to think again about which station he should choose to stay.

Although after being promoted to a higher position, Taoist boys can no longer leave their station at will, but they can rely on their status to enjoy the medicinal stones picked by the middle and lower Taoist boys in the stronghold, and even do business on their own and make money as a free agent.

In this case, it is very important to choose a suitable station.

Some places are in important areas, with many opportunities to make money, large profit sharing, and can also get tips from senior leaders, while some places are in dangerous places, make little money, and are feared by local senior leaders...

For a moment, Yu Lie didn't make a decision on this. He felt that the best way was to visit all the strongholds outside the town before making a decision.

Suddenly, while Yu Lie was deep in thought, a long puff of white air spat onto his face.

The white air is mixed with a faint aroma of wine and the aroma of burnt tobacco.

Yu Lie raised his head and was surprised to find that Pu Xing was breathing at him.

The other party was leaning against the wall without resting. He was holding a long iron-colored pipe in his hand and was smelling it elegantly.

Just as Yu Lie was about to speak, Pu Xing stretched out a finger and pressed it on her red lips, signaling him to be silent first. Then she took out a piece of talisman paper from her full skirt, put it on the pipe and lit it.

The talisman flickered and lit, and a ghostly light separated the two from the others.

Pu Xing held her head with her hands, the smell of alcohol had not dissipated from her face, and she was flushed.

She squinted her eyes and looked at Yu Lie, like a cat, and opened her red lips: "This is the isolation note, you can talk now."

Yu Li raised the wine glass in his hand and gave the other party a gentle blessing: "When did it start?"

He pointed at the iron-colored pipe in Pu Xing's hand.

According to what Yu Lie knew, Pu Xing drank a lot of wine because he was practicing the Daoyin Technique. It can rejuvenate the body and bones. The use of special medicinal wine also helps with spiritual practice.

But the other party has never tasted tobacco leaf tobacco, and even despises it.

In addition to being mentally numb and addictive, tobacco leaves can easily burn people's lungs, which is not a good thing and hinders spiritual practice.

Hearing Yu Lie's words, Pu Xing exhaled again, and the smoke slowly formed into a small fish and swam towards Yu Lie:

"After you're gone."

When these words came out, Yu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Yu Lie's speechless look, Pu Xing laughed and sneered: "Do you believe it?"

She exhaled again, and a puff of white smoke caught up with her, crushing the small fish that was about to swim towards Yu Lie's face, and then said:

"Ever since I went through the transformation of steel ribs and iron bones, I couldn't stand the pain anymore, and that's when I started to suffer."

The other party continued to explain calmly:

"Alcohol can relieve pain, but drinking too much will make you confused and inconvenient for practice, and you can't drink it anytime and anywhere. But tobacco, although it is harmful and useless, the more you smoke, the more energetic you will be. It is especially suitable for use in the wild. Sometimes, just pick a few medicinal leaves outside and crush them."

Yu Lie nodded and understood: "That's it."

In the transformation of copper tendons and iron bones, even taking bone-forging pills can only avoid 70% to 80% of the pain. Subsequently, you still need to follow the torture methods recorded in the Taoist books to temper the skin, flesh, muscles and bones, which is very painful.

But once it is over, there should be no further pain.

This made Yu Lie narrow his eyes slightly. He suspected that Pu Xing's transformation was due to taking excessive drugs, or even being tricked.

So he reminded: "Although realm is important, it is best not to touch some drugs. If you touch them, it is best to find a way to remove them, otherwise..."

Pu Xing heard it and just smiled.

When Yu Lie was about to remind the other party that in addition to tobacco, there are spices and other substances that can also invigorate the spirit and relieve pain, Pu Xing suddenly replied:

"Get some rest. There's a big shot you need to meet tomorrow. Let's go to bed first."

After saying that, the other party smoked the iron-colored pipe in his hand, and then gathered his clothes.

The Taoist robe on her body was tight and the curves were obvious. She was leaning against the wall, lowering her head slightly, which made her neck look slender.

Pu Xing closed her eyes. The pipe in her hand was not extinguished immediately. The embers burned slowly in the pipe, releasing the remaining smoke, which floated hazily in front of her red lipstick.

Yu Lie looked at it with a few strange eyes, but he shook his head and sat sternly in front of the fire pit, meditating slowly and adjusting his breath.

There was silence in the cabin.

The others either slept heavily, or because of the sound insulation, they didn't notice the conversation between the two at all.

………………

Early the next morning.

The relationship between Yu Lie and Pu Xing returned to a cold state, as if they had not said anything at night and were just ordinary acquaintances.

Yu Lie followed all the way and ran to the nearest station.

That afternoon, he also met the big shot the other party mentioned, but after seeing clearly who the other party was, Yu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly.

Because the opponent's cultivation level is not advanced, he is just a low-level Taoist boy, not even a middle-level one.

This big man also had something riding on the bridge of his nose, and he was walking calmly in the procession, looking arrogant and proud.

But after "seeing" Yu Lie, the other party's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he took the initiative to shout:

"Hey! It's Brother Yu!"
