Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 311
Li Lijun had previously taken advantage of the rest time to go back to the county seat of Hu County, met Erhong, and left a sign of the letter in the newly rented house, so that he could send a letter to Erhong in the future.

After that, she was busy day in and day out, except to report Erhong's safety every few days, she didn't have much contact with the latter.The meeting was too short, she didn't have time to teach Erhong how to use the talisman, and there was no reliable fixed contact address around the Houtu Temple as a symbol of the talisman, so the contact between the two has always been one-sided.

The periphery of the bazaar has been cut off by Guan Zhenren with magic to cut off an area with a radius of five miles. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter, and monks with low cultivation levels will feel divorced if they get close.The shopkeepers or fellows with shop properties in the market, the craftsmen of various industries who depended on them for their lives, and the forces of various families and sects behind them all came to inquire about news.They couldn't get permission from Ge Zhenren, and they couldn't enter the market space to look at their own shops, so they could only gather in the outer area to watch the situation.The density of the crowd was too high, and Li Lijun really didn't dare to let Erhong, a second-level Qi Refiner, come to this area alone.Her movements in the market are somewhat limited, and she cannot take care of Erhong at any time. If Erhong meets someone who doesn't know her "background" and has a high cultivation level, she will easily suffer.

Erhong is also well aware of this point.Anyway, she could get in touch with Nanny Lu in Xianyang, and she was busy helping the young master inquire about Qinling Bieye. There was something to do every day, so it was good to just stay in the county town honestly, there was no need to run around.Now that she would take the risk to come here, something must have happened, she had no choice but to come to Li Lijun.

Fortunately for Li Lijun, Erhong knew how to go directly to Taoist Xuanying.He is a disciple of Zhenxianguan, and he is regarded as a half-master in the local area. It is very suitable to ask him for news. Besides, he is familiar with Li Lijun, and he knows that Erhong is the maid of a certain "superior". Level, will also be a little polite.

However, Li Lijun was also a little puzzled.What happened to make Erhong make this special trip?
Li Lijun followed Taoist Xuanying to the river bend near Houtu Temple.There is no one else here for the time being, only Erhong is waiting here.

Today's Erhong changed her outfit, her accessories didn't change much, but she was wearing a cassock that Li Lijun had never seen before. It was low-key and gorgeous, not only made of high-quality materials, but also densely embroidered with many runes. There are protection against injuries, waterproof and fireproof, constant temperature and cold and heat protection, and insect and poison repellent... In short, all the runes that Erhong has learned are on them, and they are arranged like decorative embroidery patterns. Beautiful and functional.Although such a set of robes is not of a high level, it is already very rare for a low-level Qi-refining monk, and it just matches Erhong's status as a "superior maid".

Li Lijun recognized Erhong's craftsmanship, and guessed that this cassock was newly made by her recently.

Not only did Er Hong change into a new set of clothes, but in front of Taoist Xuanying, even her gestures and tone of speech were different from when she was at home.She straightened the back of her neck, her eyes were gentle and calm, and she had a faint smile on her face. She spoke in an unhurried tone, and her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing: "Thank you, Taoist Xuan Ying, for delivering the message for Li Qiniang. The master of the slave has a few words I have to tell Seventh Lady, I don't know...can the Taoist priest make it easier for me?"

Taoist Xuanying replied politely: "The red lady is serious. I'm just doing it with a little effort. You and Junior Sister Li just talk at ease. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you." He winked at Li Lijun , and left readily.

Li Lijun sent Taoist Xuanying away, and took back the little paper crane that fell not far away.This is the little paper crane that was blown by Guan Zhenren from the backyard of Houtu Temple to the bank of the river by a gust of wind on the day of Lei Jie.She thought it had been struck by lightning long ago, but she didn't expect it to still be alive, but it had already been scrapped and reduced to a little mud crane, so it was better to take it back as soon as possible, so as not to be discovered by others.

Back in front of Erhong, Li Lijun played a soundproof sign before asking in a low voice, "What happened? Why did you come to me suddenly?"

Erhong also lowered her voice: "Mother Cui sent someone to send an urgent letter to Xianyang, and Mother Lu sent someone to deliver the letter to Nu quickly, saying that the palace sent someone to Bieye to see the young lady. Although Qiuxiang took the paper People pretended that the little lady was sick, so they got away with it for the time being, but the princess was very worried about the little lady's condition, and she might send a doctor to treat the little lady at any time..."

The paper figurine can pretend to be Li Lijun, who is sick and lying in bed silently, but when the doctor comes, he can take his pulse and it will break through its disguise.How could the paper doll have a pulse?And even if Qiuxiang can occasionally act as a stand-in for Li Lijun, she can only use her back to deceive outsiders. It is impossible for the doctors of the palace to fail to recognize the fourth wife of the master's family face to face, but she is not yet old enough to feel the pulse through the gauze curtain. ...

To sum up, Erhong solemnly persuaded Li Lijun: "Little lady, we have been out for nearly a month, and it is time to go back, otherwise it will be difficult for Madam Cui to hide it."

At first they thought it would take only three to five days to come out, how could they expect such a long delay?Now that I haven’t been back to Saga Mountain Bieye for [-] days now, the paper dolls prepared in advance are almost used up. It’s hard for Nanny Cui and Mrs. Shao to continue to hide it. strenuous.

Li Lijun couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted: "It's true... I've been here for too long, it's time to go back."

In fact, she has already noticed that although Ge Zhenren is very satisfied with her work efficiency and dislikes the pair of master and apprentice, she is still given the task of helping the master and apprentice in every corner. But there are already auxiliary tasks close to the central part.It is because the latter's work is more difficult, but their efficiency cannot increase, so they are often scolded.

But no matter what, the master and apprentice are always the disciples of Zhenxian Temple in name.It is impossible for Ge Zhenren to hand over the heavy responsibility to an outsider on the fifth level of Qi Refining, but only his fellow disciples on the seventh level of Qi Refining are responsible for the support.The higher his expectations of the pair of master and apprentice, the stricter he would be on them, and therefore the harder he scolded.

Li Lijun didn't know if she had any feelings for the master and apprentice. Anyway, she felt that if she continued to stay, she was just laying hands on it, and it was impossible to learn more useful knowledge.What she has really learned from Ge Zhenren these days is limited, but she "sees" a lot of skills by herself, and she can really master them only after she settles down and gradually summarizes them into practice.It seemed unnecessary for her to continue wasting time here.

What's more, in the past twenty days, she has carried out high-intensity formation formation work every day in an environment with relatively abundant spiritual energy, replenishing the spiritual energy in her body after exhaustion, and practicing at sunrise every day, as well as when the moon is full. Late Jinyi felt that he was about to touch the edge of the sixth level of Qi Refining.She had to find a safe place to break through.If she stays in the territory of Zhenxianguan and does this kind of thing, what if Master Zhuji finds out that her exercises are different?
The exercises she practiced are different from those of any famous sect in Xuantang Small World.If it is exposed, wouldn't it be easy to expose the little vest?
Thinking of this, she said to Erhong: "Clean up when you go back, you go to Xianyang first, and I will meet you as soon as possible."

Erhong looked at her worriedly: "Is there no problem, little lady?"

"No problem." Li Lijun paused, looked around, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, "Here is a elixir, which can be used by people in the Qi refining period. It is specially used to treat lightning injuries. The meridians have a very good repairing effect. After a while, you give this elixir to Taoist Xuanying, and say that it was your master who gave it to him, and thank him for taking care of me."

In this way, Taoist Xuanying would trust Erhong's background even more, and would be more willing to do her a little "small favor".
