The Bad Guys: Everyone, let’s revive the Tang Dynasty together!

Chapter 296: What is a Mayfly Looking at the Sky?
The energy on the top of the mountain burst out violently, like thunder in broad daylight, suddenly attracting the attention of countless people.

On the east side of Shiyidong, there is only a lonely thatched house on the top of the mountain.

The two people who were sitting with their knees touching each other raised their heads at the same time and looked towards the mountain in the distance. Their expressions were different, but they both seemed calm.

"Very quickly." The Eleventh Cave Lord commented.

"It's indeed not slow." Hou Qing nodded slowly.

"The momentum is pretty good. If this trick can be played well, it will be very smooth."

"I see it."

"Oh? Brother Hou, aren't you interested in this?" The Eleventh Cave Lord glanced sideways.

Hou Qing looked at him, then suddenly stretched out his hand calmly and raised two fingers.

A wooden stick suddenly leaped up from behind him, flew in the air, and hovered between the two of them.

The Eleventh Cave Lord couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

The next moment, another wooden stick rose up from a distance, sandwiching the Eleven Cave Lords in the middle, but both wooden sticks were already shaking.

"Brother Hou!"

The Eleventh Cave Master raised his fist and said earnestly, "Please teach me something!"

……

In a deep mountain, a black-robed man who was turning the rosary beads was facing the wall. The black-robed man who never let go of the purple rosary beads suddenly stopped after turning one of the beads, and turned to look into the distance.

"Second Master is actually willing to teach this most precious treasure to outsiders one day." A woman in a black robe walked out from behind the stone wall. Her voice was very attractive. She was wearing a wide black robe, but when she lowered her head, it was difficult to see her toes.

She crossed her arms and said to herself, "It seems that the little guy really has some connection with the Second Master..."

As she spoke, she counted with her fingers and laughed, "If I remember correctly, this is only the third day, right? This little guy is so talented?"

The man in black robe who was turning the rosary beads did not say anything, he just kept fiddling with the beads.

"But speaking of it, the second uncle is obviously surnamed Li from the Central Plains, but Xiao Eleven said that this little guy's surname is Xiao. What's wrong with the second uncle?" The woman's voice was full of speculation: "There's something strange..."

"Fourth Miss, you talk too much." The black-robed man who was turning the rosary said lightly without even turning his head.

"Great Cave Master, our Twelve Caves have always been a place of freedom of speech. When did the rule prohibiting discussion come into being?"

The fourth girl glanced at the Great Cave Master and continued to speak. Although her voice was magnetic, it was still cold: "Mr. Li left behind instructions that the Dragon Spring Sword Master should enter the cave. According to the things left behind by the Li Tang royal family in the Central Plains, the Dragon Spring Sword Master should also be a Li. Then, if the Twelve Caves settle this matter, they will have nothing to do with the outside world."

"But now this little fellow is not the Dragon Spring Sword Master. He entered my Twelve Caves today, and the Second Master passed this item to him. If you, the Great Cave Master, also give him the item according to the agreement, then when the Dragon Spring Sword Master enters the cave one day, what else can my Twelve Caves give him?"

The Great Cave Master kept turning his prayer beads, apparently unmoved, and asked calmly, "What do you want?"

The fourth girl's gaze passed through the layers of forests and fell on the mountains in the distance. She said without hesitation: "Although this little guy's surname is Xiao, judging from the way Second Master spared no effort and obviously knew some inside information, this little guy is 99% related to Li Tang. In this case, why don't we regard him as both Mr. Li's disciple and the master of Longquan Sword? Moreover... this little guy has Mr. Li's token in his hand."

The Lord of the Great Cave paused as he was fiddling with his rosary beads.

The fourth girl continued, "In this way, our Twelve Caves can not only fulfill Mr. Li's legacy, but also live up to the trust of the Li Tang royal family. After sending this little guy out of the cave in the future, the Twelve Caves will be able to completely fulfill the will of our ancestors and have nothing to do with the outside world anymore..."

The Great Cave Lord remained silent for a long time before he finally continued to turn his rosary beads.

"Go to Shenlongjia in person."

Wake up the Holy Child and bring him back."

The fourth girl crossed her arms and saluted: "Yes."

------

At the foot of the mountain, Ji Ruxue and Chi Meng took in the majestic momentum on the top of the mountain. They were stunned at first, then they looked at each other, and almost in an instant, they both rushed to the top of the mountain.

In the small courtyard, the old man took a sip of wine with a smile on his face, while the big yellow dog rubbed against his trouser legs in a flattering manner, wagging its tail in a circle.

A flying insect flapped its wings and flew over, and the old man gently pinched it.

"This girl, the fourth lady..."

The old man shook his head, then stroked his beard and smiled, raised the jar of wine, and slowly poured the wine down, forming a line.

The big yellow dog had been waiting with its mouth wide open. It was now happily wagging its tail and drinking the entire bottle of wine. It was obvious that it was already familiar with the process.

The old man put down the jar of wine, stroked his beard and thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then without any movement, the figure sitting on the chair suddenly floated away, and the next moment he touched the green bamboo branch in the distance, and his figure suddenly swung dozens of feet away.

As for the other side of the mountain, it took about half an hour to travel from the foot of the mountain to the top. Ji Ruxue and Chi Meng only took less than half an incense stick of time to climb up in one breath.

Chi Meng was so tired that she couldn't even get up, but when she saw the familiar figure on the edge of the cliff, she couldn't help but feel happy. She forgot all about being exhausted and short of breath. She was so excited that her snot and tears flowed out all at once.

"Little pot pot!"

On the other side of the cliff, Xiao Yan, who was stroking a bamboo pole, turned around and smiled.

Ji Ruxue's eyes suddenly became red. She had already guessed that Xiao Yan would be here and had been mentally prepared along the way. Moreover, the old man's spontaneous joy in the early morning almost told them the answer. It seemed that she shouldn't be so excited.

But when she saw Xiao Yanxing smiling as usual, she couldn't help herself. She turned her back, her shoulders trembling slightly, wiping away the tears that had finally flowed down in the past few days.

A pair of arms embraced her and Chi Meng, Xiao Yan laughed and said, "What are you doing? If I had known you would be so sad when I woke up, I would have stayed in the pool for another day. Blame me, blame me."

Chi Meng burst into laughter and wanted to do something, but suddenly remembered that she was actually held in Xiao Guoguo's arms, and the little sister was still beside her.

She felt a little embarrassed, especially when she found that her snot and tears were all on Xiao Yan. She blushed and covered her face, not daring to show it to anyone.

Ji Ruxue didn't care about these things at all. She had been really worried and scared for three days. The string in her head had been taut all the time. However, she had to pretend to be relaxed when she was with Chi Meng. In fact, the emotions that were difficult to conceal had been weighing on her these days.

Ji Ruxue couldn’t imagine what would happen if Xiao Yan really failed?
He was so high-spirited, so strategic, and so confident that hundreds of people were willing to die for him.

If everything disappeared, it would not only be Xiao Yan's hard work that would be lost, Ji Ruxue was more worried that Xiao Yan would lose his spirit. Although she believed that Xiao Yan's ability to withstand was far beyond that of ordinary people, she really didn't dare to take the risk.

Away from Huanyinfang, Xiao Yan is Ji Ruxue's only relative in this world, the only family member whom she has long regarded as irreplaceable.

She couldn't lose Xiao Yan.

So after seeing that Xiao Yan was safe and sound, Ji Ruxue finally relaxed. Even with her personality, she could not control herself. Regardless of the fact that Chi Meng was still beside her, she bit Xiao Yan's shoulder with her teeth, as if she wanted to leave an indelible mark on Xiao Yan.

Just like she would not allow herself to lose Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan felt a little pain, but he did not care. He just patted her back slowly and said softly: "It's okay, everything will be fine in the future..."

After a moment, the two women were too shy. Although Chi Meng was always carefree, she felt a little embarrassed in front of Ji Ruxue. It was like she felt guilty in front of the queen, so it was not easy for her to hold Xiao Yan all the time.

After Ji Ruxue calmed down, she returned to her cold and aloof appearance, slapped Xiao Yan hard, and revealed the fact that he had concealed his health condition.

After all, she couldn't bear to blame Xiao Yan.

If you want to blame someone, blame that surrendered minister!
The old man has already said that the reason why Xiao Yan's life span was shortened so much was largely due to the fact that Xiao Yan practiced that evil skill. In addition, he had fought many battles, and a constant stream of evil energy accumulated in his body. Although each time he went astray, he was able to forcibly improve his strength, it was at the cost of a shortened life span.

According to the old man's speculation, that evil skill must have some flaws, otherwise it would not have such serious consequences.

But thinking about it this way, if Xiao Yan had not practiced that evil skill, there would not have been any surrendered ministers who rescued her and Xiao Yan outside the city of Luoyang, and they would have both died at the hands of the Liang army.

Although Jiangchen did use Xiao Yan at the beginning, Ji Ruxue also saw that in the subsequent contacts, Jiangchen tried his best to find ways to help Xiao Yan.

All I can say is that things in the world are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on us.

"hiss……"

A figure suddenly jumped onto the top of the mountain. The three looked up and saw the old man standing on the branch of a big tree not far away. When he saw them looking over, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It seems that I am a step late. I missed a good show. It's a big loss..."

Ji Ruxue's cheeks turned red. She was now extremely grateful to the old man and naturally felt a little embarrassed by the teasing.

Chi Meng didn't understand the hidden meaning, but jumped for joy: "Grandpa, you are so awesome! Xiao Guoguo is really fine!!!"

The old man chuckled, took a step forward on the branch, stepped on the ground, and looked Xiao Yan up and down.

"Boy, how do you feel?"

"I am truly grateful for your kindness in giving me a new life..." Xiao Yan bowed earnestly.

"Hey, call me uncle." The uncle waved his hand.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly and clasped his fists in a salute: "Master, this method of treatment... I'm afraid I will remember it in my heart for the rest of my life and I won't dare forget it."

The old man snorted and chuckled, then put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth.

"Boy, you don't have to be so polite. You two are mutually beneficial, understand? Although this method has been used by others before, it is the first time that I have used it. The scale is controlled by feeling. You are very good to be able to hold on to the end. It is worthwhile for me to reward you with all the boxing and kicking skills I have learned throughout my life."

Hearing this, Chi Meng was very upset.

What do you mean by reward? You are clearly beating Xiao Guoguo to death!
Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh: "That's a pity for your good intentions. I'm stupid and didn't realize it clearly at that time. I only realized the superb skills of your punches and kicks. As for the specific moves...hahaha."

The old man was stunned, then he stroked his beard and snorted, "You kid, although you are a bit slick, your words are pleasant to hear."

Ji Ruxue pursed her lips and smiled.

The old man looked at the bamboos standing in the distance, tiptoed, jumped onto the top of one of them, and waved to Xiao Yan.

"Come on, come on, didn't you say you didn't understand some of the moves? I'm in a good mood today, come up and I'll teach you a few more moves."

Chi Meng's face turned pale and she subconsciously grabbed the back corner of Xiao Yan's clothes.

Xiao Yan smiled, nodded to the two girls, indicating that it was okay, and then he also jumped onto the top of a green bamboo. These bamboos were chopped one by one by You Chuan, carried up and then inserted here one by one. The old man did not tell you what his purpose was, but just asked You Chuan to patiently chop them one by one.

Even now, You Chuan is still cutting bamboo at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was agile and had solid legs, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then took the lead. Only shadows of his legs were left among the green bamboos, and he kept attacking. Before each attack, he would say the name of his moves, but not the essence of them, just letting Xiao Yan understand the artistic conception of each move during the fight.

Xiao Yan not only made moves to block, but also advanced and retreated with the old man. The two of them exchanged hundreds of moves in an instant. Every green bamboo was trembling slightly, but there was no change in height, as if there were not two adults walking on it, but just a strong wind blowing the bamboo poles.

The two girls were already stunned at a distance. Chi Meng's eyes kept turning around until she became dizzy and could no longer catch up with Xiao Yan and the old man.

Ji Ruxue also had a hard time. At the beginning, she could barely keep up with the speed of the two people fighting, but as their attack and defense became faster and faster, she could only catch a rough idea.

Fortunately, the old man did not lie to them this time. He was just sparring with Xiao Yan. There was a kind of beauty in the fight between the two of them.

After about a cup of tea, the old man stopped first and couldn't stop nodding with satisfaction.

It seemed that he never wanted to hide his admiration and satisfaction for Xiao Yan. Although his words were sometimes harsh, he was never stingy with the praise. Anyone could hear the love in the words "good boy" that were always on his lips.

"Good boy, not bad! I was too timid before, afraid of boasting, but now..."

He smiled and raised a thumbs up: "No need to wait, it's now, right at this moment! I dare say that you are the best in the contemporary world!"

Xiao Yan did not respond immediately.

Just now, the old man was not simply sparring with him, but was guiding him to perform a set of steps on the green bamboo. Every move he made was affecting the Qi Palace in Xiao Yan's body.

The master is helping Xiao Yan to stabilize his realm.

However, before he could think about it, he heard these words. Xiao Yan subconsciously wanted to be modest, but facing the old man's gaze, he hesitated for a moment, then smiled frankly and said proudly: "What's the point of being the best in the contemporary world? Forget about ten or five years. When we meet next time, old man, you will also be defeated by me!"

"it is good!"

The old man smiled so hard that his face was broken, and he kept rubbing his hands, as if he couldn't wait for that time to come.

Who is a mere Li Maozhen?
This guy is really talented, rare in a century? But so what?
When this fellow entered the Twelve Caves, he was already nearly thirty years old. He stayed in the Twelve Caves for another fourteen years. Not only did he learn witchcraft in addition to martial arts, his strength was further improved.

But my eldest nephew is less than twenty!
No matter who comes to argue with me, even if they talk to the sky, they will praise Li Maozhen to the sky.

The uncle only had this to say: My eldest nephew is less than twenty years old!

My eldest nephew learned the Qi Sutra in just one night. No, it only took him half a night. He skipped the entry stage directly and was able to use it proficiently in just a few hours.

In terms of talent, my nephew is miles ahead of Li Maozhen!

The more I think about it, the happier I am, and the happier I am, the more I smile.

The old man suddenly burst into laughter, jumped off the bamboo pole, and grabbed Xiao Yan's hand.

"Come on, come on, I'll take you to see an old guy."

I want him to know that the geniuses he once saw were just like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. "

When he sees you, he will understand that those geniuses are nothing compared to you, and you are nothing but a mayfly looking at the sky!"
