"But...is King Qi's internal strength so deep?"
Sun En looked at Master Long Ye who was still falling into madness in the distance, but what came to mind was another question.
Although Zhao Yan's series of actions just now were smooth and smooth, there was a very crucial point in it.
That is, in a head-to-head confrontation between the two sides, the depth of internal strength is the key to victory.
Although Master Long Ye is a new land immortal, his internal strength is actually far stronger than the three of them.
The characteristic of "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" is that the further you practice it, the more you will gain.
What's more, the reason why he only became a land immortal now is not because he was unable to do it before.
Instead, they followed the practice process of the exercises and went step by step in order to achieve the maximum effect.
Although it is a little slow to enter Luxian Realm, Master Longye's upper limit is one of the best in Qixia Town.
only…
This ranking will be hard to say after today.
Now that he has his own inner demons, if he can overcome the past on his own, he will have a brighter future.
But once you can't get through...
Let alone land gods, it is possible to fall into the Great Vajra Realm or even into the Transcendent Realm.
"That seems to be true...I have seen King Qi attack before, and he is very resolute and likes to use big moves when he comes up, but his internal strength doesn't seem to be that strong."
"Is it possible that King Qi had some adventure in Dali?"
"What kind of adventure could there be? Pindao and Zhang Louzhu were together with King Qi, but they were separated for only three days."
"Three days... For those who are blessed by luck, huge changes can occur in just one hour."
"Haha, Yang Ming, you are overthinking it. Luck is useful to us, but it is useless to King Qi."
"Can the poster Zhang be able to receive Master Long Ye's palm?"
"...Can't take it."
After receiving Zhang Danfeng's answer, Wang Leshan turned his head and looked at Sun En.
When the latter saw him, he smiled bitterly and said:
"What do you think the poor man is doing? Of course he can't accept it."
"The "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" is extremely overbearing. Except for the brave master of the art of King Qi, who would choose to take it head-on?"
"Besides, Pindao has been very self-aware from the beginning. Good things and bad things depend on each other. Master Long Ye's result is just the result of his temperament."
Sun En said, feeling a little happy in his heart.
If he hadn't cultivated the Taoist method of "quietness and inaction", once he became obsessed with winning or losing, he might be the one being haunted by inner demons now.
"Yes, but what should we do now? Do we really want to watch Master Long Ye continue to be stubborn?"
"Otherwise, what's your explanation? Do you want to become a Buddha instead, or do you want to be unable to achieve enlightenment in your life?"
Wang Leshan asked leisurely.
This is a good question. As an outsider, he can delve deeper into it.
"Or are you, an old Taoist priest, thinking of replacing Master Zhang? Or do you want to drive Taishang Laojun off the altar?"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, you, a scholar, don't make false claims. What I have cultivated is just an ordinary heart. I am not trying to replace anyone."
"Then we are different. Scholars establish virtues, meritorious service, and reputation. My ambition is to clean up this turbid land of Kyushu."
"After the Supreme Saint, how can there not be another true Lesser Saint?"
Wang Leshan suddenly felt heroic.
Compared with Master Long Ye who was in trouble, neither he nor Sun En had that implicit sense of restraint in their mentality.
Sun En refined his heart in the world of mortals, but he made his determination as a young man early in life.
Both of them are still running wildly on their own spiritual path.
Unlike Master Long Ye, who saw the road right in front of him, but was suddenly told by Zhao Yan that "this road is blocked".
Zhang Danfeng listened to the two people's somewhat gloating tone and interrupted with a sneer:
"You two don't have to be so irrelevant. Do you think that King Qi can't think of tricky questions for you two?"
He understands Zhao Yan...
Wang Leshan and Sun En immediately broke into a cold sweat.
Now I only focus on laughing at Master Longye, almost forgetting that Qixia Town and King Qi are about to part ways...
After this, the two of them will inevitably face King Qi again...
Zhao Yan is not a man of faith. Once he reaches a hostile position, he will probably not hold back even if they have met in the past.
Wang Leshan secretly made up his mind that he would never have a head-on conflict with Zhao Yan in the future.
This excuse of "half-teacher friendship" is still very useful.
Sun Enze thought about his weaknesses and prepared himself mentally for possible situations.
"Can we still save Master Long Ye?"
"save!"
"Help!"
The two of them answered in unison.
Of course he wants to be rescued. After he is rescued, he can be used as a human shield or something like cannon fodder.
"Then there is no need to say more, take him back to the Xuanji Tower and ask the old man to enlighten him."
"That's how it should be!"
……
……
Qixia Town is much deserted than usual.
There are a lot of missing people on every platform.
The men are nowhere to be found, but there are still many women left in the town.
Zhao Yan walked through half the town and did not return to his yard immediately.
Instead, he arrived in front of the wine shop where he first arrived in Qixia Town.
I was about to leave, so I had to come here to say hello.
The business of the wine shop must be the worst today. Except for Ah Xing, who lay down and fell asleep out of boredom, the tables outside the shop were empty.
Zhao Yan walked to the table naturally and sat down without saying a word, waiting quietly.
However, although Ah Xing seemed to be asleep, he could still sense someone coming.
"The shopkeeper said we'll be closed for three days. If you want to drink, come back another day."
He still kept his head raised and his eyes closed, not even looking at who was coming.
Even though he was extremely bored, he still didn't want his lazy time to be broken.
“……”
However, there was no sound of leaving footsteps beside him, and the person who came did not speak, so it was obvious that he had not left.
This discovery made Ah Xing feel helpless. He smacked his lips impatiently and could only stand up to chase away the people.
"I told you there's no wine for sale, why are you still squatting?"
"It's you!"
When he saw the appearance of the visitor, the impatience on Ah Xing's face immediately disappeared.
He seems to know everyone in Qixia Town, but in fact he is very lonely.
Everyone has a hurried and busy relationship. It seems to be intimate, but when it passes, it will pass.
Although the few days he got to know Zhao Yan were short, he had a very good impression of Zhao Yan and at one point he really wanted to be friends with him.
However, Zhao Yan's development in Qixia Town was like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. He suddenly became an unattainable existence, which really made Ah Xing extremely sad.
But in boring days, there is also one more bragging capital.
The storyteller of Xuanji Tower, Prince Qi of Song Dynasty, was brought in by me, Ah Xing!
Although he always felt empty when he was bragging, he felt that he was used to this kind of life, and he gradually thought about it.
Time passed, and just when Axing thought he would never have the chance to see Zhao Yan again, he suddenly appeared in front of him. How could he not be surprised?
"Why are you here? Want to drink? Yes, yes! Just wait, I'll get it right away!"
The words in his mouth immediately changed. He quickly stood up and wanted to go to the house to get wine.
"No……"
Just as Zhao Yan was about to say rejection, his eyes caught the light in Ah Xing's eyes dimming rapidly, and he quickly changed his words:
"Take it! Take the best one! You're in for a treat today!"
"Of course it's my treat!"
Ah Xing's eyes immediately lit up again, he nodded happily, and then went inside the house.
Although he is a small person, he still has his own sensitivity.
Zhao Yan was able to take care of his feelings, which was very useful to him.
In just a moment, Axing walked out of the house carrying a jar of wine.
He put down two large bowls on the table and filled them up respectively.
"You're here just in time. The shopkeeper will be out for three days and I will be in charge of all the wine in this shop!"
"This jar of wine is the shopkeeper's favorite. No matter how many wine tickets you buy, you can't buy a bowl. Let's drink it today!"
With that said, Ah Xing sat down, raised the big bowl, and looked at Zhao Yan happily.
"You're not afraid of being beaten. If there's wine, I'll drink it. If anything happens, you'll be responsible for it anyway."
Zhao Yan smiled brightly, raised the wine bowl, touched it with him, and finished the drink in a big gulp.
"Of course it's me!"
Ah Xing puffed out his chest.
"If I hadn't been here, this liquor store would have collapsed a long time ago!"
"What's wrong with drinking a jar of wine from him? Drink!"
He boasted guiltily and stood up to pour wine for Zhao Yan. While pouring the wine, he asked doubtfully:
"Why do you have time to come here? There aren't many people in the town these days. I thought you were dispersed by Xuanji Tower."
"Where are we going? Are the people in Xuanji Building responsible for me?"
Zhao Yan told the truth, but to Axing's ears it sounded like he was bragging.
He raised his eyelids meaningfully, with an expression of "a fellow-minded person".
"As expected of you, your skills are as good as mine."
"Each other."
Zhao Yan knew that he had misunderstood, but he didn't explain it.
After all, it is really troublesome to explain the secrets of Lu Xianjing to an ordinary person.
As for why there were no people in Qixia Town, he could roughly guess why.
What else could it be besides news about magic beads.
"What is this thing on your shoulder? It's such a big white mouse!"
The lightning ferret was lying on his back in boredom. When he heard these words, his eyes sharpened and he wanted to kill someone. Unfortunately, he was suppressed by Zhao Yan.
"After you went to the Xuanji Building, the business of our wine shop has improved a lot. For a while, people often told your story here."
"It's just that it's definitely not as exciting as what you said, but don't tell me, it sounds very interesting, and I love listening to it!"
"I heard that two girls have recently come on stage, and the things they say are only those ladies would like to hear, but we gentlemen won't listen."
"Speaking of which, how did you..."
Ah Xing couldn't stop talking and kept telling Zhao Yan what he had heard these days.
The latter listened with a smile and occasionally added a few words.
The old story between the two was also interesting.
Soon the jar of wine was almost finished. Zhao Yan felt nothing, but Ah Xing was already sixty percent drunk.
This so-called shopkeeper has a good heart, but in fact it doesn't have much alcohol content, and the taste is far worse than the highly distilled liquor he taught.
But Zhao Yan knew that some people just liked drinking this low-alcohol drink, and he didn't doubt that the shopkeeper really cherished it.
Seeing Ah Xing start to get up, Zhao Yan finally explained his purpose.
"I came today mainly to say goodbye to you."
"Farewell? Are you leaving?"
"Well, it's only been these two days, so it's time to go back to Song Dynasty."
"But...but...if you want to leave Qixia Town, there are always rules..."
Axing said in surprise, with a look of panic and regret on his face.
"It doesn't matter, Xuanji Tower has made an exception and won't stop me."
"Exception...then, congratulations."
He suddenly woke up from the wine and forced a smile.
After a meal of wine, he almost forgot that there was a huge difference between him and Zhao Yan.
The other party is an existence that can make exceptions even for the extremely powerful Xuanji Tower...
And he is, after all, just a waiter in a liquor store.
"Do you want to come with me?"
"Go? Where can I go?"
"You can go back to Kaifeng with me. You can do whatever you want. I will protect you!"
Zhao Yan saw his discomfort and tried to look as natural as possible.
"It's okay to act chivalrously and do justice, or it's okay to bully and dominate the market. It depends on your wishes. It's always more interesting than being in Qixia Town."
"Don't you hate those hypocritical heroes? Go find them all and I'll help you kill them!"
Zhao Yan still remembers Ah Xing's unfortunate experience in his childhood and tries to use this to get him to come with him.
But Ah Xing didn't react at all. He shook his head with bitter eyes.
"Forget it, it's been too long."
"I'm just a wine seller in Qixia Town, how can I have these thoughts?"
"Since you are leaving, I wish you a safe journey. I won't say anything else. The last bowl of wine is done!"
Ah Xing raised the wine bowl and finished it in one gulp without waiting for Zhao Yan to lift it up.
"I'm drunk, you can do whatever you want..."
After drinking the wine in the bowl, Axing put the bowl on the table, stood up and staggered towards the house.
He didn't expect that this rare goodbye would be a farewell.
It's true that I feel uncomfortable, but I'm not that reluctant to give up.
The reason why he acted like this was because he was timid.
Zhao Yan's invitation made him very excited.
He didn't doubt that the other party could really do what he said.
How can a dignified prince of a country not be able to do some small things...
Ah Xing was afraid of sitting down again, so he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
But once they agreed, the relationship between the two immediately changed.
In Qixia Town, in front of the wine shop, he could lie to himself that the two were friends.
But after leaving Qixia Town and arriving at the Palace of Prince Qi of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how the noble Prince of Qi took care of himself, the gap in status would never be bridged.
Ah Xing doesn't want such a day to happen.
Zhao Yan watched him quietly as he walked into the wine shop, feeling a little helpless.
Some problems can only be solved by oneself, and no one else can help.
Master Longye is like this, and Ah Xing is also like this.
You have done what you can, and the choice is not in your hands.
Ah Xing was kind to him, but he didn't like this way of repaying his kindness, so there was nothing he could do.
"Squeak!"
The lightning ferret muttered angrily in his ear twice, protesting that he had not allowed himself to kill this annoying person just now.
He actually called the noble thing a white mouse!
It's really hateful.
"Okay, you sir have a lot of knowledge, don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Zhao Yan patted its head benevolently, stood up and left.
backyard.
With blurred eyes, Ah Xing dug out a package of things wrapped in yellow-brown oil paper from a corner of the yard and murmured:
"After so many years..."
"I don't dare to face it..."
"Do you blame me?"
The oil paper was slowly opened, and what was wrapped in it...
It was a dark magic bead.
