Chapter 441: Those stars far away from us

After the New Year, Luoyang City has not seen a few more snows, and the weather soon improved. After dozens of days, the first ray of spring sunshine passed through the clouds and fell into the world.
Li Fuyao sat by the window, watching the sun shine on the tortoise shells of the two little tortoises raised by Li Xiaoxue, listening to the sounds of the birds from afar, and smelling the fragrance of flowers that did not know where it came from. It won’t be long before the spring scenery will pass. In the eyes of mortals, it takes a whole year to see the spring again. For Li Fuyao, it won’t take long before these bird calls will become annoying. In Xia Chan, it will be the autumn breeze soon, winter snow after the autumn breeze, and then spring again.
The cycle goes back and forth, year after year.
Ordinary people or monks on the mountain are always so vulnerable in time.
The saints have a thousand years of age, but if they fail to reach the last threshold, they will not become a loess in the future.
On this, it is extremely fair.
As long as you are in the world, you will face aging and death.
It's just that the time is different.
very fair.
Someone walked by outside the window with very light steps. He should be unwilling to disturb him. Li Fuyao closed his eyes, knowing that it should be his mother. Before the new year, Li Fuyao asked when Li Fuyao would marry a wife, and then On the night of New Year's Eve, after drinking a lot of wine, Father Li said a lot, saying that he saved a lot of money, and found a small household in Luoyang City. The gift money was enough.
Even if he is looking for a big family, he will definitely support it.
He vaguely knew that Li Fuyao's identity was an offering from the Ministry of Justice. Since it was an offering, there should always be a salary. Li Fuyao, a monk on the mountain, could not care about these yellow and white things, but Li's father was thinking about it. Save it up.
Li Fuyao didn't want to talk about this, and when he saw Li's expectant eyes at the dinner table that night, he was even more a little afraid of talking to these two people. So after the new year passed, Li Fuyao began to retreat.
Monk retreat is a very normal thing. In order to break the boundary, the monks of the three religions often choose to retreat. As for the length of time, it also depends on many reasons.
Some people may not be able to break a realm in a hundred years of retreat, while some people may be able to break a realm in three to five years.
None of these can be generalized.
Li Fuyao's retreat was actually not long. Except for the first 20 days, the rest of the time was said to be a retreat, but it was actually just a retreat.
Of course, also raise a sword by the way.
If the original intention of the retreat was to not be urged by Li's father and Li's mother to marry him, then in these dozens of days, he is living a quiet life alone, which allows him to calm down and think a lot.
It's not just about that girl.
His sword, the future of the swordsman, and a series of happenings and things about to happen.
You need to think about it.
It has been ten years since he has been practicing swordsmanship, and he has already arrived in the Taiqing Realm.
No matter how you look at it, in fact, in a hundred years, it is not particularly difficult to get to the sea level from the previous progress.
But Canghai is, after all, the furthest realm that a cultivator on earth can reach. If it is not difficult, it is really not difficult?
Li Fuyao thought for a while, opened his eyes and looked at the woman right in front of him.
After Li's mother had not seen her for several years, she felt a lot of blessings. It seemed a bit greasy at first. After Li Fuyao came back, he brought a few pills, one of which was the Xisui Pill, so that the monks of the Three Sects in Taiqing realm could have one A good body, so that practice faster.
After Li Fuyao gave Li's father and Li's mother, the most obvious thing was that their skin was better, and the rest really didn't see anything.
The benefits will not fail to be obvious, but only in the subtleties.
Looking at Mother Li, Li Fuyao did not speak.
He really shouldn't face her how, whether in those memories of the year or in the previous encounter in Luoyang City, the relationship with his mother was never very good.
So Li Fuyao just looked at Mother Li and didn't speak.
In the distance, Father Li and Li Xiaoxue stood in the corner, looking nervously at this side.
Li Xiaoxue bit a piece of pastry that she didn't know where she got from, and looked at the scene she was destined to not see, with a calm expression.
Father Li was a little nervous. He pulled Li Xiaoxue's sleeve and asked: "Will your brother talk to your mother?"
This is what he worries the most. When Li Fuyao came back this time, he talked to Li Xiaoxue, talked to him, and even drank alcohol, but he never said a word to his mother.
Li Xiaoxue swallowed a bite of the pastry and said weirdly: "Father, if you want to solve the problem between mother and brother, why don't you come forward in person?"
Father Li frowned, and said naturally: "If your brother is not married as a condition, can I agree?"
Li Xiaoxue was taken aback, thinking that your old man had such a plan.
Then she unconsciously walked back a few steps.
This is thinking of myself.
Father Li didn’t notice this incident, he just thought to himself,
This kid is now in his 30s. It should be time to get married and start a business. Even if you can live for hundreds of years, I can live for a few years. I don’t know how to think about it..."
...
...
Mother Li spoke cautiously, not loud.
She had never faced someone like this in her life, and that person was still her son.
Li Fuyao looked plain, looking at Mother Li, but there was no emotion in his eyes. Whenever he showed some other emotions, he would notice when he came to Mother Li, but he just didn't.
Li Fuyao was a swordsman of the Qing Dynasty. Li's mother was so close to him, Li Fuyao could perceive Li's heartbeat and even the speed of blood flow, so he could judge that Li's mother must be very nervous now.
Thinking of this, Li Fuyao suddenly remembered an old thing. It was before he left Luoyang City for the first time. He was still very young. He slipped out of the house on a rainy day to play with his companions, and finally returned home wet. , His mother, the woman in front of him, stood under the eaves and looked at him like this.
At that time, Li Fuyao's mood was actually the same as that of Li's mother now.
Some are nervous, some are nervous, and some are at a loss.
If it were in the past, how would he be beaten, but I don’t know why. Not only did Li Fuyao not be beaten that day, but his mother even laughed and cursed and took off his wet clothes for him. This is not much. Cozy scene.
Thinking of this, Li Fuyao smiled slightly.
Mother Li was a little lost.
Li Fuyao stood up and said calmly: "Tell my father, I am leaving."
Mother Li was a little nervous, and some plump body moved aside. She opened her mouth and asked, "Where are you going?"
There are beads of sweat on her nose, which looks a little strange in this early spring.
Li Fuyao looked at her and interrupted softly: "I will be back."
After saying this, Li Fuyao had disappeared.
Bring a ray of spring breeze.
Mother Li was a little lost, stretched out her hand, and laughed at herself.
...
...
Ten thousand miles north of Luoyang city, there is a pass called Wanjie Pass, one of the many passes in the north of the Yanling Dynasty, it is very important.
It has always been guarded by the Heron Army in the Frontier Army of the Beifu. The guard is named Xu Yan, a fourth-rank military commander of the Yanling Dynasty.
This great general of the Heron Army has been the leader of the Heron Army for more than ten years, with 20,000 soldiers under his hand.
Wanjie Pass was in the northern pass of the Yanling Dynasty. It was not the most precarious one, nor was it the one closest to the border, so no matter what, if you want to encounter war, you should not suffer first.
But a few months ago, Wanjieguan was lost.
This pass was taken together by several wild repairmen, and many of the priests in the Heron Army were not able to match those wild repairs.
So Xu Yan relayed the news to Luoyang City. After Luoyang City learned about it, as many as six batches of monks were dispatched in the past few months, but none of them beat the monks who occupied the Pass. Next, I learned a very interesting thing, these wild cultivators are not monks under Confucianism.
It is said that it is wild cultivation, so naturally it should not be under Confucianism, even if it should be under Confucianism, it is not.
Such a simple truth is naturally not something interesting.
The interesting thing is not this thing.
It was that these wild repairs just took the big seal of the Heron Army Mansion, and then they didn't do anything.
It just occupied the Heron Army House.
If this can't be said to be provocative, then what kind of behavior is provocative?
For Luoyang City’s offerings, the most brilliant people were unwilling to take action for some reasons, and the rest of the offerings had no effect. So finally, taking advantage of Li Fuyao’s return to Luoyang City, Emperor Yanling handed over the matter. Li Fuyao.
It has been several years since Li Fuyao became the worship of Luoyang City, but this was the first time Li Fuyao did something for Luoyang City.
The meaning is extraordinary.
If in the future Li Fuyao could become a sword immortal known to a certain cultivator in the world, this would be a good talk.
...
...
Wanjieguan is 10,000 miles away from Luoyang City. If you ride a horse, it will take more than ten days. If you ride a carriage, it will be slower. As for walking, it will take at least a few months.
But most of the monks have magical weapons, even those without magical weapons, their own cultivation base is not low, they can also lift their energy and plunder, anyway, it is fast anyway.
The swordsman's sword is faster.
From Luoyang City to Wanjieguan, Li Fuyao only spent half a day.
Only after reaching the Wanjie Pass, he didn't immediately go to the Xu Yan who has been living in the city. Instead, he ate a bowl of scallion noodles at a noodle stall in the city.
Li Fuyao has always known that the border is hard, but hardship leads to hardship, and Li Fuyao didn't expect that he didn't even have a bowl of egg noodles in this place.
Finished eating the poor bowl of noodles with little green onion.
Li Fuyao walked up to the top of the city, the jade pendant hanging around his waist played a big role, and soon Li Fuyao was led into the temporary military camp set up at the top of the city.
Saw the General Xu Yan.
As a senior rank four general of the Yanling Dynasty, Xu Yan had outstanding military exploits. He rolled in the blood of the corpse mountain. He had never seen any scenes. Only these days before were the worst months in his life.
Seeing the monks from Luoyang city being thrown out of the military mansion, and seeing those people looking here with mocking eyes, Xu Yan was already furious. If he didn't know that he was not the opponent of those people, only I'm afraid that he would leave everything behind and go to the military mansion.
After seeing Li Fuyao, Xu Yan frowned and looked behind Li Fuyao, then asked suspiciously: "Luoyang City will let the fairy master come alone?"
Luoyang City has sent several groups of people here, but every wave of monks, after arriving here, without exception, was thrown out of the heron military mansion, without exception.
And the news from them said that the wild cultivators were nothing more than Qingjing at best.
Otherwise, Emperor Yanling would not give this matter to Li Fuyao.
The reason why Li Fuyao came in early spring was because the past winter was the time for Emperor Yanling to inquire about news.
Everything has a cause and effect.
There are two Taiqing and three Qingsi in the Heron Army Mansion. They say that they are wild repairs, but they are just a cover.
They are all orthodox Confucian monks.
The Yanling dynasty was ruled by Confucianism. The reason why this happened was probably because Emperor Yanling was never a person who kept his own feet.
Naturally, small punishments and big punishments.
But Emperor Yanling is really willing?
It was naturally impossible, so there was Li Fuyao.
Li Fuyao looked at the general Xu and asked, "Can the general make some noise tonight?"
Xu Yan asked, "What does the fairy master do?"
Li Fuyao looked at him and said, "What else can I do besides killing people."
Yes, he came to Ten Thousand Tribulations Pass, what else could he do without killing.
Xu Yan looked at this man with such a young appearance. He originally thought he was a good-looking mountain fairy. How could he not be an incomprehensible figure, but how could this be so simple and straightforward?
Of course he wanted to kill, but just like that, he rushed to the military mansion and killed those monks indiscriminately?
Li Fuyao looked at Xu Yan's eyes and frowned, "Of course I can't kill like this, so I can't beat it."
Two Taiqing, three Qingsi.
Not very easy to deal with.
Xu Yan's eyes fell on the sword box behind Li Fuyao, thinking that you are a sword repairman and it is not so easy to deal with them.
"Then what should we do?"
Now that he knew that he couldn't use his realm to torture and kill those monks, he needed some other methods, such as tactics.
The tactics between the cultivators did not have much effect, but in fact there are some small tactics that may be a good help.
Li Fuyao thought for a while, and then said, "If you make a big noise, let one of them come out to investigate. Whether it's Taiqing or Qingsi, just one person will do."
"Then give me a pot of wine."
This plan is very vague, I am afraid that even Li Fuyao himself does not know how to implement it.
That General Xu Yan was thoughtful.
Time was really fast for the monk. Li Fuyao could not close his eyes and rest for a while, and it was already night.
The bright moon hangs high outside.
In the big tent, Xu Yan looked at Li Fuyao with a solemn expression.
Li Fuyao looked at him and asked, "What's wrong."
Xu Yan said straightforwardly: "I sent a letter to him, saying that a monk from Luoyang City came and asked them to leave as soon as possible."
This is Yangmou.
Regardless of whether Monk Chaomu is true or false, someone is always required to authenticate.
So there will be a monk coming tonight.
There is a high probability that it will be a monk in the Taiqing realm.
Li Fuyao looked at Xu Yan and suddenly said, "You are the sixth."
There are five monks in the military mansion.
Xu Yan is sixth.
Xu Yan frowned and said, "What are you talking about?"
Li Fuyao said: "There are many people in Luoyang City who are interested in learning palaces, so it is impossible to have none of the frontier army. There are so many things that have happened before, and it cannot be irrelevant to you. I think about it, Luoyang City should also I know, just didn't tell me, is it testing me?"
Li Fuyao said a lot, but didn't notice Xu Yan's expression.
He looked at Xu Yan and said, "I heard there is a saying called Shijunzhilu, bearing the worries of the king. Have you heard of it?"
Xu Yan looked at Li Fuyao and said, "You are very smart. None of the guys on the mountain in front have seen it through."
Li Fuyao sighed, "So they are all dead."
In fact, Li Fuyao's most worried thing is not this, but something else.
He stood up, pressed the tall building around his waist, looked at Xu Yan, and asked, "You are from Yanling, why do you want to work for Xuegong?"
This is something Li Fuyao wanted to know, but he didn't get the answer.
Xu Yan picked up the knife and faced Li Fuyao.
Li Fuyao looked at him, and a sword light appeared in the big tent after a while.
Li Fuyao walked out of the big tent carrying the hip flask and sat on the top of the city.
Things in this world are always so boring.
The night is good, the moon is shining on the earth, but there is no starlight.
Li Fuyao knew that the stars didn't look far away, but they weren't in the world.
Chao Qingqiu was chatting with him on the top of Qingtian City, and when he talked about the stars, he bluntly said that those stars were outside the world, far away, perhaps in another world.
At that time, Li Fuyao asked how far he was, and Chao Qingqiu only said that he was out of reach with a sword.
Chao Qingqiu's sword can be as long as tens of thousands of miles, and can even reach ninety thousand miles.
Ninety thousand li is already extremely far away, but it hasn't reached the place where the stars are, so how far are the stars from the world.
At that time, Li Fuyao asked another question, "Is there anyone on the stars?"
Since Chao Qingqiu suggested that the stars might be another human world, then there will be monks in that world. If there are monks, how high the realm of those monks is, will there be swordsmen.
These are unknowns.
Li Fuyao suddenly felt that he was thinking of those things, so he took a sip of wine.
The wine was naturally poisoned by Xu Yan, but for the monk, there was no difference whether there was any such poison.
If poison can kill a monk like Li Fuyao, then the people down the mountain will not be so afraid of the monk on the mountain.
After drinking a few sips of wine, Li Fuyao looked into the distance and suddenly said, "In the end, I have to get a sword."
There is a night in the distance, and there is naturally nothing in the night.
There was a scholar standing in the night, looking at Li Fuyao here.
Li Fuyao looked at him and asked, "Is it interesting?"
