Chapter 203: Riding with the Immortals
It was a sunny afternoon at the end of the year.
The capital of Qiuzhou was already bustling with activity, with constant traffic and noise. The vast majority of residents cannot feel the tense atmosphere of the Qianlong Lantern Festival. Only the participants know that when night falls, the real challenge will come.
The hermits in my humble garden were still observing and comprehending the skeletons of the Silver Skeleton Celestial Clan. It looked lifeless and there was no sign of a festival at all.
People should cherish and love life, but they have become silent monsters who only know how to practice.
How is this possible?
Li Weiyi went to the courtyard where the silver coffin was placed and took a look around, but he couldn't bear to look at it anymore. So, he took Yin Shiyi and drove to a large restaurant in South City and bought a whole car of delicious food, cooked food, raw vegetables, and several jars of century-old wine.
Return to my humble home.
Li Weiyi closed the silver coffin lid.
All the hermits who were practicing meditation were expelled from the courtyard.
"Today's training ends here. I have bought all the tea, wine and dishes. I will continue to train, and there must be time for the New Year's Eve dinner."
"Hidden 25, go build a table, a bigger one, by the lake."
"Twenty-four, go and stir-fry some hot dishes, Yao Yin will help."
"Yin Shiwu, go build a fire. It might snow again tonight."
"Yin Shiliu, go buy some more fireworks and firecrackers..."
…
After Li Weiyi's arrangements, the hermits, who were initially resistant and unhappy, gradually became busy.
When everything was ready, everyone sat together at the long wooden table, looking at the table full of dishes and wine, and the mood became very lively.
The hermits clinked their glasses and told each other the strange stories they had encountered in the past few years, with laughter everywhere.
What made Li Weiyi frown was that the dishes cooked by Yin Twenty-four were really hard to swallow.
She doesn't seem to be very good at it, and she has entrusted her work to the wrong person.
It was getting dark.
Yin Jiu and Yin Shi, dressed in night clothes, entered Zhuo Garden and emerged from invisibility. Hearing the laughter coming from the lake in the distance, they were both extremely surprised and thought they had come to the wrong place.
The two came to the lakeside and gazed at the bonfire and gathering across the lake, both feeling a sense of unreality.
Since entering the Hidden Gate, everyone has been very busy, either discussing important matters, or practicing in seclusion and carrying out tasks. At most, they would gather in groups of three or two to discuss cultivation, and there was rarely this warm and joyful feeling of returning home.
Yin Shiyi stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and talked eloquently, spitting everywhere, as he recounted the fierce battle between himself and the master of Jinling in Bingzuze.
Yin Jun appeared silently behind Yin Jiu and Yin Shi and said with a smile: "Go ahead, you are also Yin people, young people must have something in common."
Li Weiyi spotted the three people on the other side of the lake and immediately waved and shouted at them.
The rest of the hermits also looked over there.
"Stop dilly-dallying. I'll go call the three of them."
The drunk Yin Twenty-three ran on the water and dragged the three people on the other side of the lake to the table and forced them to sit in their seats, even Yin Jun was no exception.
He drank three more rounds.
Yin Twenty-three directly put his hand on Yin Jun's shoulder, hugged his neck and cried, saying that he was neither a pure immortal body nor could he obtain the battle tactics and ideas of the God of Jiuli, and that he was under great pressure and so on.
The other hermits were all dumbfounded and looked at each other.
Who dared to be so presumptuous in front of the Hidden Lord before? Fortunately, Yin Jun not only did not blame Yin Ershisan, but also comforted him in a gentle voice, like a brother and also like a father and son.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Yin Jiu, Yin Shi, Yin Shiyi, Yin Shiwu and Yin Shiliu entered the main hall of the third courtyard to discuss many matters concerning the Qianlong Lantern Festival.
Yinjun was listening.
Li Weiyi did not participate in it, as if he had given up on the Qianlong Lantern Festival. He and the young hermits set off fireworks and firecrackers by the lake, preparing to welcome his first New Year in this world.
The sound of firecrackers and the blooming of fireworks.
Li Weiyi saw that although Hidden Twenty-four was smiling, he was worried and his brows were full of sorrow, so he walked over with his hands behind his back and said, "White Eyes Twenty-four, I will teach you a finger technique, do you want to learn it?"
Yin Twenty-four was stunned, then laughed and said, "Could it be the Cihang Kaiguang Finger that has spread throughout the entire Qiuzhou city?"
"Why not? It happens to be this trick."
Li Weiyi added: "If you can cultivate and achieve results like me, you may be able to communicate with the gods and condense a special divine thought."
"Do you think that everyone is like you, who can easily communicate with gods through mind?" Yin Twenty-four knew that this guy not only cultivated a divine mind, but also trampled them, the pure immortal bodies of the Nine Springs, into the dust.
Li Weiyi walked up to her and asked, "Do you want to learn or not?"
"study!"
Of course Yin Twenty-four is willing to learn.
To be exact, there are few young martial artists in the entire Qiuzhou city who do not want to learn this martial art. They all think that this martial art is extremely powerful, and must be profound and have an extraordinary origin.
Under the sky full of fireworks, Yao Yin glanced at the two people who were teaching and studying in the distance. A charming smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful snow-white face.
Although the two of them were always fighting and quarreling, there was also a genuine concern between them.
After the five most powerful hermits finished their discussion, Yin Shi left first.
Her identity is still the fairy Qinli of the fairy forest.
Yin Jiu and Yin Shiyi went to Taoli Mountain. There were less than two hours left before the last batch of invitations and the rules of the Qianlong Lantern Festival were announced.
Many young martial artists had gathered under the Xuantian Stone Wall in the morning.
People who are as calm and unhurried as them are actually a minority.
Yin Jun approached Li Weiyi and said, "It's five quarters before midnight, and the New Year's bell will ring. There are still two hours left. It's not too late to regret now. Once the bell rings, I will no longer be able to escort you out of the city."
Li Weiyi smiled and said, "I didn't participate in their discussion because I knew they represented the Jiuli Hidden Sect and the Jiuli Clan. They have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders. If they want to fight for the Jiuli Clan, they will inevitably be forced to do so and it will be extremely dangerous."
"But I'm different. I'm just going to join in the fun and won't get involved in the fight between the latent dragons. It shouldn't be that dangerous."
The Hidden Lord shook his head and sighed, "You... it's better to tell the truth. It's also good to go and gain some experience. The young martial artists of your generation can be called the golden generation in the past thousand years. Those who can make it into the top ten would definitely be the best in other eras."
"During the ten years of chaos, countless young dragons were honed."
"Just think of it as going to see the world and see what kind of amazing young masters there are in the world today. In five years at the shortest, or ten years at the longest, many of these people will go against the trend and become giants in the realm of immortality, and young dragons will turn into real dragons."
"Don't be too stressed, and don't take risks. Yin Jiu and Yin Shiyi said that they will help you get the dragon seed and the elixir of immortality, and return the Nine Li God's battle method and thoughts, so your training speed will not lag behind them."
Without the elixir of immortality, achieving immortality is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
In the past sixty years, only Zuo Qiu Ling achieved this.
But with the help of dragon seeds and elixirs, the best people have the opportunity to achieve immortality for several years.
What a temptation this is?
It was because he was worried that Li Weiyi would not be able to restrain himself and get involved in things that he shouldn't get involved in at his current level of cultivation that Yin Jun told him this.
Someone is going to fight for him.
"You said it yourself, knowing contentment will keep you from humiliation, and knowing when to stop will keep you from danger." Yinjun warned again and again.
…
Under the night.
Li Weiyi, wearing a black nightgown, walked out of Zhuoyuan and headed towards the Xuantian Stone Cliff under Taoli Mountain in the center of the city along the Qiankun Avenue, which was wide enough for ten horses to run side by side.
Go get the invitation!
The inner city of Qiuzhou Prefecture is divided into areas in the shape of the Eight Diagrams, and the streets are also named after the trigrams.
Qian is on top and Kun is on the bottom, this street runs north and south.
It was late at night and the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually disappeared. Only from the foot of the majestic and mysterious ancient ancestral mountain in the center of the city came the boiling and noisy sound, which could be faintly heard from more than ten miles away.
The young heroes from the twenty-eight states had already gathered there.
“Da da!”
Behind him, the sound of hooves echoed on the empty and wide street, accompanied by the sound of turning metal wheels.
Li Weiyi didn't notice at first that there were more martial artists driving to Xuantian Stone Wall tonight, but the sound of hooves was getting closer and closer, coming to the right side of the street and pressing towards him.
Li Weiyi stopped and immediately mobilized his magic power and became alert.
The one pulling the cart was a silver-horned deer monster. It had a huge body and a silver-shining head. It was very common in Lingxiao's habitat.
The frame stopped beside him.
A familiar and pleasant female voice came from inside the car: "Get in the car."
Li Weiyi was very surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he got into the car.
Immediately, an intoxicating fragrance wafted into the carriage. The carriage was spacious and luxuriously decorated, forming a sharp contrast with the simplicity seen outside.
A ritual bone lamp is embedded in the right wall of the compartment, emitting a faint blue light.
Jiang Ning, wearing a white veil, sat at the innermost part of the carriage, with her delicate hands hidden in her sleeves.
The blindfold has been removed.
A pair of beautiful eyes seemed brighter and more brilliant than the magical bone lamp.
Anyone who meets this pair of breathtakingly beautiful eyes would find it difficult to look away. They would just want to immerse themselves in them forever, to explore the inner secrets of the owner of these eyes, and to find her most essential emotions and thoughts.
Li Weiyi was a person who knew how to control himself. He didn't want to fall into the emotional abyss hidden in her eyes, so he quickly looked away and looked at Zhuang Yue who was sitting on the right. He smiled and said, "What a pair of crimson eyes, more beautiful than the previous ones, but they don't match your temperament."
Zhuang Yue was sitting upright, but after hearing his praise, she suddenly became uncomfortable and a slight blush appeared on her face.
The old man driving the car was wearing a black robe and gently waved the whip.
The alien beast's frame continued to move forward at a very slow speed.
Li Weiyi sat down opposite Zhuang Yue: "If I remember correctly, Fairy Yu once said that Luantai angels cannot be in the same room with men? Are we in the same room now?"
Zhuang Yue corrected: "We can't be alone in the same room."
"That's not what you said when we first met. I'm not even qualified to see the angel's true form." Li Weiyi said.
Jiang Ning looked at him dimly: "The way we are meeting now is actually not in compliance with the regulations. If someone really wants to report it, it will be a big trouble. But after thinking it over again and again, I still think that I should meet you before the Qianlong Lantern Festival. Li Weiyi, what do I want you to give up participating in the Qianlong Lantern Festival? I hope you leave Qiuzhou City immediately."
Li Weiyi met her fairy eyes that were so close to him, and could clearly see her long and curved eyelashes, as well as the complex emotions in her eyes.
Li Weiyi's heart trembled slightly and he looked towards the bone lamp on the wall of the compartment.
Jiang Ning and Yin Jun's repeated exhortations undoubtedly showed that the danger of this Qianlong Lantern Festival was far beyond imagination. Everyone smelled blood and had a sense of powerlessness in the face of the situation and could only go with the flow.
Li Weiyi said: "Fairy Yu, you have to understand one thing. I am your creditor. You owe me a lot of money and a favor. Even if I am ordering you to do something, it should be me who orders you to do it, not you..."
Jiang Ning said: "I didn't order you to do anything. I just want to know the answer, and then do my best to help you escape from this danger and repay you. Li Weiyi, why are you so stubborn?"
