Liaozhai Great Sage

But as soon as he got close to Li Xiuyuan, he suddenly fell from mid-air.

This is the failure of Taoism.

Li Xiuyuan's aura of a saint is still there, spells are useless within three battles, but the paper crane can fly again after being released three feet away.

"Master, won't you go back to the teacher's door?" He took the paper crane and asked.

The blind Taoist said: "Why do you go back for the teacher? There is no such thing as a teacher there. After you arrive at the mountain gate, someone will pick you up. You will have nothing to worry about. By the way, if you are free, I will pick some peaches for the teacher and come back for the teacher. Master hasn't eaten wild peaches from the mountain for a long time."

"It's a trivial matter. When I come back, I will bring some mountain goods with me." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

"That's good, I'm going back to Guo Beicheng as a teacher." The blind Taoist turned and left after speaking.

He took a few feet, and the front courtyard wall cracked, and quickly disappeared in front of his eyes.

"The Taoist priest is good to go."

Qingmei next to her gave a salute, and watched the Taoist priest leave. After the Taoist priest left, she said reluctantly: "My husband is going to practice Taoism on the mountain. Although it is only for [-] days, it is after all a pure cultivation in the mountains. Why don't you bring a Let the person who orders you go, and someone will take care of you in your daily life."

"How can you bring female relatives in the place of Qingxiu? You and Qing'e are staying in Jinling City. It won't take long to go to Beijing to report on your duties, and you will be back in half a year at most." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, husband." Qingmei obediently replied, but did not persist.

The next day.

Li Xiuyuan only brought people from the two capitals, and Han Meng led the team immediately.

In addition, he brought Wu Xiang, Mao Wu and several other guards with him to ensure his safety.

As for the Li family army, he was temporarily handed over to Xing Shan to take care of him, and he had to stay in the army, and he had to train the archers and teach the cavalry how to ride and shoot, so he couldn't leave.

Of course, there were also Fu Tianchou and Qingfengyuechi, as well as Zuo Qianhu who was in charge of escorting them.

This is the duty of Zuo Qianhu. Although he has assisted in defending the city for many days, but now that the turmoil has subsided, he still needs to perform his duties and escort Fu Tianchou to Beijing.

"Father, with Mr. Li here, why do you have to put on shackles, sit in a prison, and be escorted to Beijing? Father, let's get out of the prison. Isn't it better for us to ride on horseback?" On the way, Fu Qingfeng looked at Fu Tianchou who was in shackles in the prison, and asked with concern.

Although Fu Tianchou was in a state of embarrassment at the moment, but his complexion was very good, full of spirit, he said stubbornly: "No need, my father is a guilty subject, His Majesty's order is to escort my father to Beijing, what would it be if I rode on a horse? Isn't it a violation of yin and yang? This is the crime of deceiving the king."

"Miss Qingfeng, you don't need to persuade me. I think Mr. Fu is quite comfortable sitting in the prison, and there is a carriage pulling the cage to drive on the road, so you won't be tired." Li Xiuyuan said.

Fu Tianchou stared at Li Xiuyuan: "I'm not tired, why don't you try it?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "How can this be done? I am now the governor of Yangzhou, and I have to be chained to get the emperor's imperial decree. I will not be blessed to endure Mr. Fu's prison."

Fu Tianchou immediately blew out his beard and stared angrily, but he was so suffocated that he couldn't find anything to refute.

Who would have thought that when he came to Yangzhou, he was still the minister of disaster relief. This Li Xiuyuan was only a scholar, but in just a few months, he became a prisoner, and Li Xiuyuan sat in the position of governor of Yangzhou.

This is simply incredible.

How can he be promoted so fast, if he hadn't seen the imperial decree coming down with his own eyes, he would have thought that Li Xiuyuan had forged the imperial decree and pretended to be the governor, so as to take this opportunity to occupy Yangzhou.

"Lord Li, I don't understand the lowly position. This road doesn't seem to be the way to go to Beijing." At this time, Zuo Qianhu chased after him on horseback, clasping his fists.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I am so tired from walking, let's go to Yangzhou and go north by boat."

"So that's it, I understand." Zuo Qianhu nodded, and then rode away again, telling his subordinates to go north by boat.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at Zuo Qianhu, wondering in his heart: "Zuo Qianhu is loyal to any lord, and he will never think about which lord's order is right and which lord's order is wrong, but this is fine, so Only with a unique character can we survive in the capital."

Without scheming, there is no threat, so no one will harm Zuo Qianhu. Besides, his martial arts are very strong and can be useful to anyone.

Half a day later, Li Xiuyuan and his party arrived in Yangzhou, where several ships were already waiting.

It was arranged by him in advance.

"My lord, the boat is ready and ready to go at any time." At the ferry, a child about 12 years old stood there and saluted.

This is the Yangtze River King.

Li Xiuyuan walked over and suppressed his voice and said: "This time we are going north by boat, I will not sit on the boat, you are responsible for the safety along the way, there are so many monsters in the water, it all depends on you, the thousand-year-old monster, to suppress them, but I will leave behind three Thunder God Tokens , I believe it is enough to protect the safety of the journey, if you are defeated by a strong enemy, wrap up the boat and flee, the journey to the north may be delayed, but there must be no casualties."

"Don't worry, my lord, I understand." King Yangzijiang nodded.

"Where are the Eight Great Kings?" Li Xiuyuan asked again.

The Yangtze River King pointed to the water, and a giant soft-shelled turtle appeared vaguely.

"Very well, I feel relieved to have the Eight Great Kings accompanying me."

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, no matter what, the Eight Great Kings have at least 600 years of Taoism, and they have been enshrined with incense. Now they are not much worse than the Yangzijiang King, and they are also at the level of a thousand-year great demon.

If such a force is still attacked, then it is not as simple as an ordinary water monster.

Chapter 4 Longevity Town

"Let's sail~!"

A shout sounded at the ferry, and several large ships moved slowly, leaving the ferry and drifting towards the river.

These ships carried Li Xiuyuan, Fu Tianchou and his party, and they were going upstream to the capital.

As soon as the boat moved, there was a huge black shadow dormant underwater, manipulating the water flow, secretly controlling the hull, making these boats move forward slowly, neither fast nor slow, trying to reach the capital in ninety days.

Li Xiuyuan was in an empty cabin at the moment, and he had already ordered the itinerary on the road. If anyone asked him, he would say that he had something to do and left temporarily, and he would catch up with another boat later.

He came to the window, took out an origami crane made of folded yellow paper from the ghost king's cloth bag, and threw it forward.

The paper crane was blown away by the river wind, but when it was three feet away from him, the paper crane suddenly came alive by flapping its wings, and after turning around the river, it quickly flew east-west. The speed was no less than that of a bird, and it suddenly turned into a black spot in the distance.

"The speed is fast enough." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved, and he took a step forward, but his figure disappeared into the cabin immediately.

When it reappeared, it was already on the riverside.

"Give me a ride and catch up with the paper crane in front." Li Xiuyuan said, and he took out an old calligraphy and painting.

A white light flew out and landed on the ground, turning into a handsome dragon horse.

Turning on the horse, the divine horse neighed like a dragon, stepped on the wind with all four hooves, jumped up as if it was about to rise into the air, and carried Li Xiuyuan to chase the paper crane at an unimaginable speed.

Although the paper crane is fast, every time it flies far away, it will wait for Li Xiuyuan to catch up, and continue to fly forward after catching up.

The dragon horse is not an ordinary horse either, it has the speed to ride the wind, and it can walk on water without sinking, like walking on flat ground, even mountains and dangerous peaks can be easily browsed, but Li Xiuyuan used it as an ordinary horse on weekdays, making the dragon It's just that the horse's ability can't be shown.

"I don't know where the master's gate is, I hope it's not too far away." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

This time he is seeking the Dharma, not the Tao.
