Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 160 Why the Fairy Knocks on the Door at Night

There was a squeak.

The door was pushed open.

I saw Yao Xue in a light green dress, looking like a goddess in the moonlight, with her hands behind her back, standing at the door.

Li Rui was unmoved:
"Miss Yao, is there something wrong?"

Yao Xue bit her teeth lightly, as if she was hesitating about what to say.

Li Rui's expression turned strange.

Moonlight.

men and women.

The atmosphere was so tense that he was really afraid that Yao Xue might have some M tendencies and say she liked him.

"Miss Yao?"

Li Rui decided to stop this bad trend from spreading further.

You are my amulet!

Fu just needs to do his job well.

Yao Xue finally mustered up the courage: "Senior Li, I'm sorry, I have been lying to you all along."

"what?"

Li Rui didn't expect Yao Xue to say this in the middle of the night.

So you were lying to me. That's fine.

He still looked calm: "Why do you say that, Miss Yao?"

Yao Xue bit her red lips, lowered her head and said, "Senior Li saved my life, so I should treat him with sincerity. I came to your house this time because of my inner demon."

Heart demon?

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had long thought that Yao Xue and Qu Chengfeng's visit to his house was definitely not just to repay a favor.

Even if you want to repay a favor, there is no need to choose this method.

But I didn't expect it to be such an abstract reason as the inner demon.

Yao Xue hurriedly explained: "Since that day, Master said that I was possessed by a demon in my heart. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, so I came to bother you, Senior."

"."

Li Rui was speechless.

He knew something about the inner demons.

The inner demon is a Taoist term, but it can actually be understood as obsession.

Taoism emphasizes tranquility, inaction, and a clear mind.

Although there is no need to purify the six senses and cut off the seven emotions and six desires like Buddhism, one should not let obsessions interfere with practice.

Obviously, he is Yao Xue's inner demon.

I, an old man, have become the inner demon of this beautiful girl.

Li Rui was at a loss for words for a moment.

Who should he go to for justice in this matter?

Perhaps Yao Xue also felt that the inner demon thing was too absurd, and a blush appeared on her pretty face: "Senior."

She was about to speak.

Lines of small words appeared in front of Li Rui's eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the primary plot of the Immortal Couple - Bond. ]

[Love often starts with a bond, which can be good or bad. This is an important step for a fairy couple to achieve their goal. Make a bond with the fairy and go through the world together! ]

[Complete the mission bond, rewards are being calculated.]

【Task score C.】

【Get 20 achievement points! 】

【Name: Li Rui】

【Age: 10】

[Talent: Martial bones, outstanding comprehension, wise eyes]

[Kung Fu: Changchun Gong, Dragon Traveling to the Nine Skies]

[Achievement: 80/100]

Li Rui looked at the word "bond" on the panel.

The corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

Good news: The previous speculation has come true. The target of the achievement of the Immortal Couple does not have to be one person, which will make it more convenient to achieve the achievement in the future.

Bad news: I was spotted by a fairy.

"senior."

"senior?"

Hearing Yao Xue's call, Li Rui's mind finally shifted away from the panel.

Seeing Li Rui calm and confident, Yao Xue's pretty face turned even redder: "I also know that this is too abrupt."

Stop!

Li Rui felt that something was getting wrong as he spoke, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, Miss Yao, the inner demons will naturally resolve over time, so it won't hurt to stay here for a while longer."

Yao Xue's big eyes flickered and blinked.

She originally thought that she would be kicked out of the house for saying such a ridiculous thing, but she didn't expect the senior to be so reasonable.

"Thank you, senior. I will not bother you any more."

Say it.

He turned around quickly and ran away from Li Rui's sight in small steps as if he was being chased by a wolf.

Li Rui chuckled and shook his head.

Bang.

The door was closed.

Yao Xue ran into the inner room and leaned against the door with her back, the blush on her cheeks still not fading.

"Strange, my heart is beating so fast!"

Silent all night.

early morning.

Li Rui continued to practice martial arts as usual. He had already changed the White Ape Sword into his own Changchun Kung Fu, so he was not worried about being discovered by others.

The long sword moved extremely slowly in the air and did not seem to have any killing power at all.

The first person to get up was neither Wang Zhao nor Yang Yong.

But it’s Qu Chengfeng.

Qu Chengfeng just glanced at Li Rui, then said indifferently, "I'm going out," and left without looking back.

Strictly speaking, the relationship between Li Rui and Qu Chengfeng is that of a tenant and a landlord.

Who has ever seen a landlord care about the life and death of his tenants?
Once he leaves Li's house, Qu Chengfeng is no longer his concern and has nothing to do with him.

Li Rui looked down upon Qu Chengfeng, the disciple of the immortal sect, for his style.

Wait until he finishes his practice.

Only then did Wang Zhao and Yang Yong walk out of the room.

The two of them were busy making breakfast. The house finally had a sense of homeliness. Li Rui, who had nothing else to do, also helped out.

When Yao Xue came out of the room, a pot of steaming meat porridge and several plates of refreshing green vegetables were already placed in front of her.

A few people simply finished their meal.

Yao Xue returned to her room.

Li Rui also knew that Yao Xue was starting to work hard to conquer his inner demon again.

He sighed.

I would like to tell this beautiful young girl that some things cannot be forced and cannot be achieved in a hurry.

Especially the inner demons.

The more anxious you are, the harder it will be to get rid of it.

But at his age, he certainly understands the principle of not talking too much to someone new. Maybe he can say it in the future, but definitely not now.

After cleaning up, Yang Yong went out early, eager to find his card-playing friends.

No gambling.

If you win, you just have to say you're awesome. This is a time-killing and brain-stimulating activity, so Li Rui certainly has no reason to discourage it.

Yang Yong is already in his sixties, which would have been retirement age in his previous life.

Li Rui certainly would not force an elderly person to work hard.

Not every old man can be as good as him.

But Wang Zhao is different.

Ever since the Red Dragon Horse came to the stable, Li Rui discovered that this kid didn't have much talent in martial arts, but he might be good at raising horses.

I almost slept in the stable last night.

So, he took Wang Zhao to the Ma Jiantang at noon.

Given his status as a patrol officer, it was somewhat unrealistic for him to directly turn Wang Zhao, who had no martial arts skills, into a soldier in the Horse Guards, but it was not a problem to arrange him as a laborer without any formalities.

In the Horse Guards, Wang Zhao could also learn more skills in horse riding.

I had learned some basic horse-raising skills from Li Rui in the Zhu Mansion before. If I could become a horse officer in the future, my status and treatment would be no worse than those of a martial artist.

Finish these.

Li Rui strolled to the Benhu Cavalry camp.

Although Ning Zhongtian granted him leave, his "inner demon" would not disturb the fairy's mood for the time being.

So as to avoid showing off in front of the fairy and having the opposite effect.

Li Rui walked into the camp.

Then I saw Brother Liang and a group of people gathered in a circle, watching the martial arts competition between Tan Hu and Ge Hong.

"rise!"

Tan Hu roared, threw away the Xuanhua axe in his hand, and hugged Ge Hong's waist like a bull.

As soon as Ge Hong was hugged, he was thrown to the ground by Tan Hu.

"Ouch."

Tan Hu let go of his hand, and Ge Hong lay on the ground wailing with a mask of pain on his face.

For a long time.

Only then did he catch his breath and stand up with difficulty.

"Did Brother Li really fight you to a draw?"

Ever since the last visit to Willow Village, Ge Hong and Tan Hu have become brothers. After all, they have been on the same journey of enduring the cold wind for more than ten days, so he would come to Benhuqi for a spin from time to time.

Today I heard from Liang He that Li Rui and Tan Hu actually fought to a draw.

He excitedly went to find Tan Hu to compete with him.

Everyone in An Ning Wei knows that Tan Hu is born with great strength.

He had thought about fighting for a long time, but he was always worried that he could not withstand Tan Hu's brute force. But since Li Rui was fine, he should be fine too.

But it was not until he actually took action that he realized how powerful Tan Hu was.

He has such tremendous strength that ordinary people cannot resist him at all. He was defeated in just a few moves.

talking.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Li Rui appear in the crowd without him noticing.

It's really what you say.

Ge Hong held his waist and limped to Li Rui: "Brother Li, how did you manage to tie with Manniu?"

Li Rui was able to tie at the age of seventy, but he, a forty-year-old young man, was defeated miserably.

I feel a little depressed.

Li Rui smiled and said, "I was dodging with Qinggong, so it can't be considered a draw. If it was a life-and-death fight, I would definitely lose."

Ge Hong suddenly realized.

He glared at Liang He.

He was deceived by this kid. In Liang He's words, it was clearly Li Rui who fought back and forth with Tan Hu with his superb swordsmanship.

See this.

Liang He cried out that he was wronged.

In his eyes, Li Rui just drew his sword, so how could it not be considered as fighting the enemy with swordsmanship?

Ge Hong was a straightforward person, so he quickly forgot about it and said proudly, "Brother Tan, I am not as skilled as you today. I will fight you again after I have recovered my strength."

Now it was Tan Hu's turn to be envious: "Brother Ge, have you developed true energy?"

Ge Hong couldn't hide the pride on his face: "It's almost done."

Then he looked at Li Rui and said, "I'm still not as good as Brother Li. He was able to cultivate true Qi at the eighth level, but it's not easy to gather Qi into shape with the Flying Dragon in the Sky Diagram."

What he said is very pertinent.

The dragon shape sounds domineering, and perhaps those who can gather energy to form it are all geniuses.

Being able to cultivate Qi is already a miracle. As for gathering Qi into shape, it is difficult, difficult, difficult!
Of course Li Rui would not tell Ge Hong and Tan Hu that he had already gathered his energy a long time ago and it was almost taking shape.

Stayed in Benhuying until dusk.

Then he returned to the house.

Yao Xue still showed no signs of going out, so Li Rui asked Yang Yong to deliver the food to the room.

Not eating will not help you break your inner demons, it will only starve you to death.

Yao Xue didn't refuse, but she didn't go out either.

Had a meal.

Li Rui practiced with the sword in the courtyard again before returning to his room.

Circulate true Qi according to the diagram of the dragon traveling in the nine heavens.

The Xuanqing Qi gushed out from the Dantian and circulated throughout the body. Ever since it was able to circulate a full circle of Qi at one time, the Xuanqing Qi had changed from thin threads to as thick as a little finger.

Just when he completed the seventy-two cycles of Qi, the mysterious and pure Qi returned to his Dantian.

The next moment——

As soon as the true Qi condensed into the dual forms of a fairy dragon, Yinglong wandered around between the clear and turbid Qi.

Suddenly!

The clear and turbid energies suddenly exploded and filled the whole body.

Li Rui's eyes lit up:
"Immortal Court protects the body!"
