The capital city, facing Si Lane.

It is noon.

Aunt Feng pushed open the gate of the courtyard.

Gu Shiyan sat on a rattan chair under the eaves, visualizing her in meditation.

As if she smelled something nice, she slowly opened her eyes and saw the two bowls of steaming noodles in Aunt Feng's hand.

"I added a lot of meat to the noodles, which just happened to replenish Mengzhou's body."

Aunt Feng's face was full of smiles. Although Gu Shiyan rarely walked out of the courtyard, as a neighbor, she often had to take care of Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan's meal problems. The woman and the girl had become very familiar with each other.

Aunt Feng walked into the room with two bowls of noodles, and Gu Shiyan remained silent and followed closely behind.

Because the threshold is a bit high, Aunt Feng, who was holding the hot noodles bowl that had just been made, was a little struggling. Gu Shiyan kept staring at her, not knowing whether she was worried that the two bowls of noodles would sprinkle or that Aunt Feng would fall down. It might be obvious.

After Aunt Feng crossed the threshold safely and placed two bowls of noodles on the table, Gu Shiyan sat down directly and said, "He may not be too hungry."

Aunt Feng looked at the pretty girl speechlessly and said, "You are so edible but still have such a good figure. It's really enviable."

Gu Shiyan said: "I am still young, and as long as a practitioner is willing, he will basically not eat fat, unless he is not controlled and can eat fat at will."

Aunt Feng was silent for a while.

"I'll go and see Mengzhou."

Gu Shiyan silently watched Aunt Feng push Li Mengzhou's door open and walk in, and then her eyes returned to the two bowls of noodles in front of her.

......

During Li Mengzhou's injury, in addition to Aunt Feng, who was a neighbor, often came to take care of her, the girl from Wenrou Village would occasionally come, and she also came with everyone's care.

After a brief chat with Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng returned to the noodle shop, while Li Mengzhou also walked out of the room slowly with his feet dragging the floor.

Gu Shiyan silently put down the noodle bowl, wiped her mouth, and turned to look at Li Mengzhou.

"Where is my face?"

“Here.”

Gu Shiyan pointed to the two empty bowls on the table.

Li Mengzhou rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, "What about the face?"

Gu Shiyan frowned, picked up the chopsticks again, snatched them in the bowl, and picked up a noodle with a length of index finger.

Li Mengzhou: "..."

He rubbed his stomach silently and sighed, "Forget it, I'm not very hungry anyway."

Gu Shiyan said with relief: "I guess you are not hungry, so I ate it for you."

"..." Li Mengzhou smiled hard and said, "Then you are really great."

Gu Shiyan could obviously hear that this was definitely not praising her, so she turned her head silently and began to wipe the sword silently.

Li Mengzhou subconsciously shook his body, dragged his feet, moved under the eaves, and sat straight on the rattan chair. He couldn't help but grin and muttered: "It really hurts. I feel like my whole body is disintegrating."

He lay comfortably on the rattan chair, half-squinted his eyes, looking at the sun that only half of his face was exposed by the eaves. The sunlight shone on his body warmly and comfortable.

Gu Shiyan also walked out of the house and lay on another rattan chair.

This picture is really quiet and peaceful.

The injuries suffered by Gu Shiyan in fighting Qi Xiaoran in countless miles outside the East City Gate have not been completely healed. Li Mengzhou, who was injured by Zhuge Dan, has just recovered. It can be seen how serious Li Mengzhou's injuries are.

Although it did not hurt the foundation, the pores all over the body were bleeding and the skin on the surface was cracked. It was not easy to recover completely.

During the two days when Li Mengzhou was recovering from his injuries, the matter in the palace was also resolved.

According to Qingyi's visit, the other monk hidden in the mountain outside the palace was actually an eunuch who was serving His Majesty the Emperor.

This is a very scary thing.

The Xunzhixiang refined by the medicine king Chenru played a role. During that time, Xu Hexian interrogated Zhuge Dan and unexpectedly discovered that Zhuge Dan was not a complete man.

It is indeed difficult for monks outside the mountain to approach His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress as eunuchs.

In addition to Zhuge Dan, the discovered eunuch was actually just a mountain monk with very weak cultivation. Because of this, he hid even deeper. If Xu Hexian had not discovered Zhuge Dan's secret and the search for Xiang of Medicine King Chenru directly pointed out the target, it would have been impossible to find the second big fish hidden in the palace in just two days.

Zhuge Dan and the eunuch were killed by His Majesty the Emperor, and the Medicine King Chenru was slowly expelling the hidden aura in the sea of ​​qi, and the capital gradually returned to its former peace.

......

The dusk is dark and the sun is gone.

The hot air of the scorching heat still lingers over the capital.

But it is also difficult to stop the people from looking for fun in the night covered with starry sky.

The night view of the capital has always been the most beautiful.

The night is like ink, with stars dotted with white smoke rising everywhere. Even if it is not a festival, it seems that the night in the capital is always very lively, especially in the outer city.

Li Mengzhou dragged his heavy body through the pedestrians on the streets and stopped outside a teahouse close to Chaosi Lane. A figure was already sitting by the window. When she noticed Li Mengzhou's appearance, she quickly stood up and waved.

There are also many tea guests in the teahouse. Because herbal tea is available, it is also very comfortable to drink a bowl of herbal tea on this slightly hot night.

Li Mengzhou slowly walked into the teahouse and arrived at the window. He said casually: "Is there anything wrong with Senior Sister Baiji looking for me so late?"

Sitting opposite was Bai Lu Peak’s disciple, Bai Shuo’s only daughter, Bai Ji.

Bai Ji first poured a bowl of herbal tea for Li Mengzhou, and then said, "I have heard of what happened in the capital these days. How is Junior Brother Li's injury?"

Li Mengzhou took a sip of herbal tea, smashed it, and smacked his lips, and said, "It's okay to recover, but Senior Sister Bai is worried about it."

Bai Ji nodded and said, "At that time, I met Junior Brother Li in the inner city teahouse, so I went to the Peach Blossom Land with my senior brothers, and I only returned yesterday."

Li Mengzhou recalled it and remembered the incident of killing Mo Xichou by coincidence, and asked: "So you have confirmed that that person is Mo Xichou, the abandoned disciple of Bailu Peak?"

Bai Ji said with a serious expression: "Mo Xichou's body is still in that peach blossom land. I have confirmed his identity. I asked Junior Brother Li to meet this time to express my gratitude."

Li Mengzhou drank herbal tea and said casually: "I just happened to kill Mo Xichou. In fact, because I just broke the realm and happened to need an opponent. Mo Xichou's tone was not good and said I wanted to kill me, so I killed him with my back hand, and there was no need to thank him."

Although it was because Xiao Zhinan first defeated Mo Xichou and fell into the state of depravity, Li Mengzhou had the ability to kill Mo Xichou, he felt that this matter was not important and there was no need to tell Bai Ji truthfully.

Bai Ji looked at Li Mengzhou who seemed to be really not caring, so he didn't say anything more. He also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of herbal tea, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Actually, in addition to this matter, I also meant to say goodbye to Junior Brother Li. The reason why I remained in the capital after the Panlong Banquet was because of Mo Xichou's affairs. Since Mo Xichou had been killed by Junior Brother Li, I should also take Mo Xichou's body back to Bailu Peak."

Li Mengzhou nodded silently, without any other thoughts, and said politely: "Sister Bai is on the way back to the mountain gate and be careful to see you again if you are destined to be."

Bai Ji nodded and said, "There will be a date later."

As she said that, Bai Ji stood up and left the teahouse. Before leaving, she paid the tea.

Li Mengzhou expressed his satisfaction in this regard.

But he did not leave directly because although he paid for the tea money, he would leave directly before he could finish the tea.

Baiji has no familiar friends in the capital.

Especially when she said goodbye to Li Mengzhou, it was just as she said, because of Mo Xihou's fault, but before leaving the capital, she thought she should also tell Shen Qiubai.

......

After drinking herbal tea silently, Li Mengzhou also went to Wenrou Township, chatted with Yu on the second floor for a while, and then went straight back to Chaosi Lane.

Standing at the door of his own courtyard, Li Mengzhou looked left and right for a moment, crossed the threshold, closed the courtyard door, and looked at Gu Shiyan who was still sitting under the eaves, and said helplessly: "Many people in the capital already know your existence, and there is no need to stay in Chaosi Lane all the time. Do you have nothing else to do except sit under the eaves?"

Gu Shiyan lay quietly on the rattan chair and said, "The clues of Yue Shiting have been cut off again. Since Dan Tai Jing, she seems to have encountered no good things in the capital. Apart from thinking about those troublesome things, sitting on this rattan chair in a daze is also very comfortable, so why bother breaking it?"

Li Mengzhou nodded with some approval and also lay on the rattan chair next to him. He looked at the courtyard gate and said calmly: "I just felt a very strange feeling, as if someone was staring at me in the dark, but when I discovered it, I didn't notice it."

Gu Shiyan frowned slightly and said, "The affairs of the monks outside the mountain have just calmed down. Who will focus on you?"

Li Mengzhou shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the feeling of being peeped at is very real. Although it disappeared in just a moment, I don't think it was my own perception error."

Gu Shiyan said calmly: "It seems that someone is really eyeing you. If you can't sense the other person's existence, it means that the person who secretly peeps at you will have a much higher cultivation level than you."

Li Mengzhou was silent for a moment and said, "But I did notice the abnormality in an instant. Although the other party hid his breath in time, does it prove that even if the other party's cultivation level is higher than me, there will be no big gap."

Gu Shiyan said: "You can think so. The key problem is that you can find conclusive evidence that someone is really peeking at you in secret, not just coincidence or accident. After all, the moment is short, and it is normal for perception to be biased."

Li Mengzhou thought, "If the target is really me, then he will definitely look at me for the second time."

Thinking of his current state, he said a little boredly: "We need to take care of our health as soon as possible. If someone really targets us secretly, it will be very dangerous in our current state. I hate this feeling."

Gu Shiyan said: "My injuries have healed a lot, and your body is broken. If it were an ordinary person, it would have been a long time since you returned to your heyday."

Li Mengzhou sighed: "I hope that during this period, I can find an opportunity to break through the realm. As long as I cross the threshold of the four realms, I can truly come into contact with this world of practice and continue to understand the more advanced sword skills of the "Li Jian Sutra"."

He thought that when he was breaking through the third realm, he opened the "Silksaw Scroll". Maybe when he entered the threshold of the fourth realm, the "Silksaw Scroll" could also open the second chapter, so his trump card would become stronger.

......

......

Jiangguo Nanjun, Liang County.

The deep night is very quiet.

Liang County, located in the deep mountains, has a little more cool feeling than the capital, especially at night, sitting at the doorstep with a cool breeze, which is definitely something that the people in the hot places are extremely envious.

Xiao Yaoer sat on the stone in front of the dilapidated courtyard. This was Jia Zhuangshi's home and Xiao Yaoer's temporary home.
