Chapter 242: Wind Sound

Liu Liu Xiaolou had several hiding spots. One was a small house in Wuchao Town, one was the Xingde Temple on Xingde Mountain, and another was the haunted house in Yang Liu Bay. But these three places were not secure now. After thinking it over, he still brought Fang Bu'ai to the Killing Tiger Mouth of the Miluo River, northeast of the Yueyang Marketplace, and found those three old pine trees.

At the cliff below, there was a natural karst cave, very hidden, which was the place where he had ambushed and killed Hou Sheng, an inner sect deacon of the Qingyu Sect, back then.

After entering the cave, listening to the sound of the river water slightly washing against the cliff wall outside, there was an inexplicable sense of silence, and his whole body relaxed.

Fang Bu'ai looked at the karst cave and asked: "Big brother, have you taken refuge here before?"

Liu Liu Xiaolou smiled and said: "Stay here, cultivate steadily, and go out after a few months."

Fang Bu'ai now had quite a few spirit stones in his hands, so he obediently took them out to sit cross-legged and cultivate. Liu Liu Xiaolou did the same, continuing to impact the Shaohai acupoint.

After venting the evil air in his chest twice in a row, his thoughts were clear, and this time the impact on the Shaohai acupoint went very smoothly. Seven days later, the Shaohai acupoint was breached by the true qi, and the true qi flowed into the true qi acupoint pool, stirring up a surging vortex.

At the moment of opening the Shaohai acupoint, a "crack" sound faintly rang in his ears, and the scene of a jade hairpin being stepped on and shattered appeared in his mind again.

After many years, he thought he had already forgotten, but he didn't expect that returning to the old place, this scene would surface in front of his eyes again.

What was going on?

Liu Liu Xiaolou came to the cave entrance, looking at the rushing river water in the night, unable to figure it out no matter how he thought.

Fang Bu'ai was still in seclusion in the inner chamber of the karst cave, trying hard to open the last acupoint of the Hand Hand Jueyin Meridian, the Zhongchong acupoint. This acupoint was a major one, and he probably wouldn't be able to take it down in a month or two.

Liu Liu Xiaolou caught a few crucian carp by the night scene, roasted them on charcoal fire, ate half himself, and left the rest so that Fang Bu'ai could eat whenever he woke up midway.

Using the river view to wash away the messy thoughts in his mind, he continued to cultivate. The spiritual power in the spirit stones was transformed into true qi, impacting the Lingdao acupoint.

In the blink of an eye, three and a half months passed. On this day, Liu Liu Xiaolou opened his eyes and let out a long breath. Unknowingly, he had continuously opened the Shaohai, Lingdao, Tongli, and Yinxi acupoints, leaving only the Shenmen, Shaofu, and Shaochong acupoints. One had to know that the nine acupoints of the Hand Hand Shaoyin Meridian were all major acupoints. Opening four in three and a half months, such progress was truly extremely fast!

It was fast, but the spirit stones were also exhausted by him. He couldn't help but feel some regret. When he went down the mountain, he had left most of his belongings in the secret cave on Wulong Mountain, which was a full sixty spirit stones. Should he go back to the mountain?

Fang Bu'ai did have a few spirit stones in his hands, but after breaking through to Qi Refinement Stage 4 last month, he didn't stop and was still working hard to cultivate. The few pitiful spirit stones he had left were not enough for his own use.

Thinking of this, he decided to go to the Yueyang Marketplace to walk around and inquire about the current news.

Liu Liu Xiaolou's most important source of information in the Yueyang Marketplace was naturally the Lvyi Courtyard. After drinking a few cups of tea in the corner of the tea house opposite, confirming that Sister Qing was still there and the owner hadn't changed, he went straight into the backyard and sneaked into Sister Qing's room.

The thin blanket exuding a faint fragrance, the exquisite dressing table, the various powder boxes piled under the mirror—all of this made Liu Liu Xiaolou feel peaceful instantly. He leaned on the bed, and a wave of sleepiness struck him unknowingly.

Just as he was between sleeping and waking, footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and Sister Qing's familiar voice reached his ears:

"This old lecher, actually trying to get ideas about me. Lvzhu, where did you bring this guest from? Does he understand the rules? Fine, I don't have that much anger to vent. Go tell him, if he wants to play, play; if he doesn't want to play, get lost. Our Lvyi Courtyard can't afford to serve him! And he doesn't even take a piss to look at his own appearance. If I really wanted to fight him, could his old bones withstand it?"

"Alright, don't be angry. Actually, it's a good thing. Doesn't this just show our Sister Qing's lethality? Oh my, even I can't help but be moved. Come, let me rub..."

"Get lost, you little wave hoof!"

The door opened, and Sister Qing saw Liu Liu Xiaolou lying on the bed at a glance. She was stunned, closed the door, walked over in a few steps, and grabbed Liu Liu Xiaolou's hand: "You little bastard, sister thought you had forgotten her!"

Liu Liu Xiaolou smiled: "Haven't soaked in hot soup for a long time."

Sister Qing leaned down and kissed him on the forehead: "Little troublemaker, just you wait!"

Liu Liu Xiaolou soaked in the hot soup barrel, groaning twice comfortably. Sister Qing helped him comb his hair, asking while washing: "Was it you guys who did it?"

Liu Liu Xiaolou asked her: "What are you talking about?"

Sister Qing said: "Burned the Hongji Restaurant, robbed Fenglin Manor, hijacked and killed inner sect deacon Lu Lu Yuanji and outer sect deacon Yan Yan Xingfei. Tianmu Mountain has exploded. They have been like facing a great enemy for the past few months. Everyone in the sect above Foundation Establishment has been sent down the mountain to guard the sect's industries, branches, and manors. They have also sent people to negotiate with major sects and offer rewards to rogue cultivators everywhere. Anyone who is from your Wulong Mountain, catch one and get ten spirit stones! Tell me quickly, did you do this?"

Liu Liu Xiaolou was somewhat surprised: "Lu Lu Yuanji is dead? I remember he fled very nimbly, he wasn't injured... And who is Yan Yan Xingfei?"

Sister Qing was very excited: "Heavens, was it really you guys? Liu Xiaolou, I really couldn't tell, you're a man! Liu Xiaolou, let me tell you, knowing that the Lu guy was killing people indiscriminately on Wulong Mountain, the sisters were all furious, saying that if he dared to come to Lvyi Courtyard, they would definitely give him a hard time and never take his business!"

Liu Liu Xiaolou asked with a smile: "Would he come?"

Sister Qing curled her lips: "A pretentious guy, he has never been here!"

Liu Liu Xiaolou asked again: "How is the wind outside?"

Sister Qing said: "I heard that Tianmu Mountain has caught quite a few people, all of whom were from Wulong Mountain before, I'm not very familiar with them..."

She said a string of names, none of whom had accepted the hero post. It seemed that after everyone scattered, they were all hiding very well and didn't show their faces much.

"Is there anyone specifically saying they want to catch me?"

"I haven't heard of that... but Liu Xiaolou, don't be careless. Don't return to Wulong Mountain for now. The wind is very tight there. Tianmu Mountain has sent quite a few people to watch there, catching anyone they see. Hide here with sister, hide comfortably for a few months, and wait until the wind passes."

"I'm just afraid of causing trouble for you, Sister Qing. Yueyang Marketplace is the territory of the Qingyu Sect."

"Don't worry, Liu Xiaolou. The Qingyu Sect is watching the joke from top to bottom. I think they wish Tianmu Mountain would take a big tumble! Even if they see you, they will mostly turn a blind eye. Have you forgotten that Tianmu Mountain previously teamed up with the Dongyang Sect and Zhanglong Sect to oppose the Qingyu Sect?"

"Is that so?"

"Liu Xiaolou, sister has everything here, I will give you whatever you want, including sister..."

"Eh? Sister Qing, you... where are you taking me?"

"Troublemaker, where else could I possibly be holding you?"

"Oh... haven't wiped yet, it's all water, the bed is wet..."

"Liu Xiaolou, I don't care about that, hurry up... sister wants to enter cultivation... Liu Xiaolou, mm..." ===== CHAPTER 243 =====
