~14 min read 2,720 words

"Shanyue should have been divided into four, why show off and unify? The Demon Lord of the Upper Mansion stands on the clouds... to call him... call him to have no place to be buried."

The narrator beating the gong and drum howled at the top of his voice. The little general playing Gani Xi was in black robes, majestic. He shook his skirt and shouted:

"Heh! Grandpa did this thing, right or wrong you know I know, heaven and earth also know, ya, then die as a ghost spirit, with no regrets in my heart."

The audience below stretched their necks and sighed in unison, and some even stood up to cheer. Gani Xi's status in the hearts of the Shanyue people was extremely high. The eastward-moving Shanyue people were not short of refugees from the Great Jueting, bringing stories before Gani Xi's death. The Shanyue people's reverence mixed with the fear of the original residents of Lijing Town toward Gani Xi, giving birth to this king who was both righteous and evil on the stage.

The old man was still sighing, and the warm voice behind him came, still clear in the noisy environment.

"Old man, why sigh."

The old man shook his head, his eyes full of emotion, and said in a low voice:

"That year I was only thirty years old, followed Lord Xiangping to the Shanyue land, and saw many things. Gani Xi... is a hero."

He turned his head to look at the person behind him, who was middle-aged, with broad shoulders, long and slow eyebrows, and a majestic bearing. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking like an extraordinary person, and his attitude immediately became much more respectful.

The narrator on the stage began to sing in a warbling voice, beating the gongs and drums as they said:

"You you you—don't harm the people under your rule!"

"Bah! The people are my carriage, the army horses are my knives and spears, ya, what can you do?!"

The little general in black robes drank loudly, and the crowd below retracted their heads, all silent. The middle-aged man nodded slightly after hearing this, and said in a low voice:

"These words should be what characters like Gani Xi would say, and they have a momentum."

"Sigh!"

The old man slapped his thigh and smiled:

"The next act is called 'Lord Xiangping's Soul Returns Home, Mu Jiaoman Seizes the Throne in a Great Drought', that is the one that makes people sigh and angry, a good scene to watch!"

"Great drought..."

Li Tongya muttered, and said in a low voice:

"There was indeed a great drought that year."

"The master was only how old at that time, he could remember it, it's amazing."

The old man praised, the more he looked at Li Tongya, the more familiar he felt, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him, so he tentatively asked:

"Master... is your surname Li?"

Li Tongya shook his head lightly, didn't answer him, just smiled:

"This little general in black robes is good everywhere, except that the pupil color is different. Gani Xi has owl-like brown eyes."

"Master, owl-like brown eyes is the appearance of an owl, it's not easy to find!"

The old man smiled and responded. Seeing that Li Tongya looked gentle and polite, and respected him in his words, he leaned forward and said in a low voice:

"Master, everyone often says wolf-rush and owl-like, you know owl-like brown eyes, do you know another fierce appearance?"

"Oh?"

Li Tongya became interested, smiled and said:

"Old man, why not talk about it?"

The old man coughed, his voice became lower and lower. If it weren't for Li Tongya's extraordinary hearing, he wouldn't be able to hear the old man's words in this noisy environment.

"Owl-like brown eyes, wolf-rush pale pupil. This wolf-rush pale pupil person is the appearance of the wolf master mentioned in the play. The pupil color is gray-white, cautious and suspicious, harboring evil intentions, often observing all around when walking, and is also the nature of swallowing different enemies."

"So that's how it is!"

Li Tongya laughed loudly, immediately understood the old man's meaning, and smiled:

"Owl-like brown eyes are not easy to find, but there are many wolf-rush pale pupils in Lijing Town!"

"Oh!"

The old man jumped, smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice:

"Master knows it's good! Saying it out is not a good thing..."

Li Tongya smiled in a low voice, knowing that the old man was referring to the Li family, straightened his face, and asked:

"Since the old man knows how to read faces, why not look at me."

The old man laughed, observed for a while, and answered:

"This is the appearance of being majestic and guarding one side, great wealth and great honor, auspicious and unspeakable."

Li Tongya laughed at himself. The surroundings were noisy. It turned out that the play on the stage had reached its climax. The little general playing Gani Xi fell down. The old man hurriedly looked up. When he sighed and turned his head back, the person behind him had disappeared.

————

Lijing Mountain.

Chen Donghe, in white clothes, stood in the courtyard. The drizzling rain slipped past him, blocked by magic power. He slowly drew his sword, and a pale gray sword light lit up on the sword. Li Xuanling opposite him stood with his sword, and the Dharma sword also lit up with gray light. Chen Donghe nodded slightly and pulled the sword forward.

"Offended!"

Li Xuanling didn't draw the sword, just looked at him with a smile. Until Chen Donghe arrived, he drew the sword, bringing out a bright white sword arc. Chen Donghe's pupils dilated, hurriedly turned attack into defense, and was shocked:

"Moon Palace Sword Arc!"

That sword arc hit Chen Donghe's sword, making him retreat a few steps, his hands tense, spitting Qi to return to origin, and retreated another step before he could catch his breath. Li Xuanling took the momentum of drawing the sword, and the sword moves forced him one by one.

Chen Donghe didn't know that Li Xuanling had practiced the Moon Palace Sword Arc, ate a small loss, and fell into a disadvantage for a time. Fortunately, both of them practiced the "River One Qi Formula" and "Profound Water Sword Technique", and were familiar with each other. Relying on a deeper foundation, Chen Donghe quickly pulled back the disadvantage, turned defense into attack, and suppressed Li Xuanling.

"Brother-in-law is still better."

Li Xuanling fought with him for half an hour, panting slightly, retracted the sword and retreated. Chen Donghe also retracted the sword, and then smiled:

"I didn't expect you to practice the Moon Palace Sword Arc, congratulations."

"Twelve years in total, but this one style."

Li Xuanling shook his head and sighed, answering somewhat lonely:

"Father could use the Moon Palace Sword Arc when he was a Fetal Breath cultivator, but I dragged it until Qi Refining, and only then could I use it with True Origin. The high and low are judged..."

Chen Donghe shook his head with a smile, comforting:

"Don't compare with your father. How many people on this lake are his opponents? Your sword talent is already not bad. I just relied on being a few years older than you to suppress you. Don't be self-deprecating."

"It's Yuangiao, who has now mastered sword light, and his talent in this path should be better than mine."

Mentioning Li Tongya, Li Xuanling had a few more worries in his eyes, and said in a low voice:

"I don't know how Father is now."

As soon as the voice fell, the courtyard gate creaked, and a middle-aged man stepped in, with gray hair on both sides, wearing a gray robe, and simple cloth shoes on his feet. There was no magic power fluctuation on his body, but he didn't get half wet in the drizzling rain. The raindrops slid away obediently before they touched him, looking miraculous.

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows lightly, stepped forward, and the stagnant water under his feet seemed to come alive, retreating one after another, letting his cloth shoes always be clean and tidy.

"If the sword arc turned two points to the right, you could have tied with Donghe."

"Father!"

Li Xuanling was overjoyed, stepped forward excitedly, sized him up carefully, and was happy:

"Father has built an immortal foundation!"

Li Tongya smiled and nodded. Chen Donghe smiled and bowed, saying respectfully:

"Congratulations to Second Uncle!"

Li Tongya looked at the two juniors in front of him with uncontrollable joy, and felt quite happy in his heart, smiling:

"This seclusion, I practiced 'Vast Sea', entered Foundation Establishment, my Li family is the third Foundation Establishment family on the lake!"

————

Li Tongya sat on the upper seat in the courtyard, and all the Li family members sat together, everyone with joy, talking and laughing with each other.

Li Tongya sat on the upper seat with a smile, Li Xuanfeng at the sixth level of Qi Refining on his left, Li Xuanxuan at the second level of Qi Refining on his right, and Li Xuanling and Chen Donghe below, Li Yuangiao and Li Yuanyun sitting at the very bottom, all saying respectfully:

"Congratulations to Uncle/Father/Uncle-Grandfather for building an immortal foundation."

Li Tongya nodded and smiled:

"This seclusion, I practiced 'Vast Sea', entered Foundation Establishment, my family is already a great family, there should be changes."

After saying this, he looked at Li Xuanxuan and asked:

"Xuan'er, how is the lake these years?"

Li Xuanxuan stood up, bowed, and answered respectfully:

"Uncle was in seclusion for only one month, Milin County had an earthquake, the earth collapsed, the town was ruined, Yu Mugao hadn't found a clue, and then the three roads out of Milin County were attacked, either post stations or narrow roads, killing people and destroying roads, blocking the pass."

"Yu Mugao was furious, but could only deal with it alone. The next generation of the Yu family didn't have many capable people, and Yu Mujian was in seclusion and didn't care. Uncle, do you still remember the person who harmed Yuanxiu?"

Li Tongya nodded lightly. That person could be considered agile, able to disperse attention with the help of others' corpses in an instant, quickly deal with the two storage bags to avoid helping the enemy, and finally knowing that he couldn't escape, used a talisman to destroy his body, which was really not bad.

Li Xuanxuan nodded and continued:

"This person is called Yu Muyuan, agile and decisive, is Yu Mugao's capable assistant. In the past, Yu Muyuan was helping him. Now that Yu Muyuan has passed away, Yu Mugao is left and right, becoming increasingly difficult."

"The following year, the Milin County market had not been repaired, and a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator came to the east bank, which the Yu family regarded as a forbidden area, with the intention of occupying the land and establishing a clan. Several Qi Refining families had the intention of playing both sides, making Yu Mugao very headache."

Li Tongya nodded lightly and said in a low voice:

"This is Fei Wangbai's means. Although Yu Mugao is ruthless and alert, he can only be in a mess and has no intention of harming people."

The people below nodded one after another, and Li Yuangiao clenched his fists and sighed with hatred. Li Tongya opened his mouth again:

"It is always easy to harm people but difficult to guard against people. If the foundation of rule is not stable, the bigger the territory, the more uncomfortable it is."

Li Xuanxuan nodded, and held Li Yuanping and Li Qingxiao up. Li Qingxiao was cute, her face rosy, and she called every elder crisply. Li Yuanping was a few months older, but looked much smaller, still held in the arms of Li Xuanxuan's legal wife, Dou, looking timid and not daring to speak.

Li Tongya first took Li Qingxiao and looked for a while, touched her head, then took Li Yuanping from Li Xuanxuan's hands, frowning slightly.

Li Xuanxuan raised his head with some guilt, and his legal wife Dou slowly raised her head and said softly:

"I was pregnant with Ping'er when Xiu'er had an accident, so I gave birth prematurely, my blood and Qi were weak, and there were signs of congenital deficiency."

Li Tongya first raised his eyebrows to look at her and praised:

"Xiangping and I set a marriage contract for Xuanxuan back then, precisely because I valued your generosity and dignity. You have a plan, and you have helped Xuan'er a lot over the years. Your cultivation has now reached the fifth level of Fetal Breath."

"Uncle's praise."

Dou nodded slightly, handed the child to Li Tongya, Li Tongya looked carefully, pinched a magic formula, and suddenly a fragrance surged, attracting everyone to look sideways.

Li Yuanping stared at Li Tongya above, and crystal clear things suddenly appeared in the air one inch from his face, spinning and entering Li Yuanping's small mouth. Li Yuanping smacked his lips and groaned.

Li Tongya stopped casting the spell, and shook his head in the hopeful eyes of Dou and Li Xuanxuan, answering:

"It's just to supplement blood and Qi. The congenital origin is missing, I'm afraid it needs supernatural powers to supplement it."

Dou took Li Yuanping silently and retreated. Li Xuanxuan lowered his head and said in a low voice:

"It's good to be able to supplement blood and Qi."

Li Tongya looked around at the faces of the people below and said warmly:

"Donghe."

Chen Donghe stepped forward, only to hear Li Tongya say:

"You go to the Xiao family and inform them of the news. Don't go empty-handed. Take some spiritual objects from the clan. They don't need to be too precious, just spiritual objects at the Qi Refining level."

"Yes!"

Chen Donghe responded respectfully, hurriedly went out of the courtyard, and went down the mountain.

Li Tongya then turned his head and said in a low voice:

"Senior Xiao Chuchou of the Xiao family once had an agreement with me. If I break through to Foundation Establishment, then I will be closer to my family and carry out the marriage. If I fail to break through, then stop at the present."

The people below changed their expressions, happy and worried. Li Xuanfeng bowed and responded:

"This marriage matter, if my family marries, it's easy to say. Several Yuan-generation people have reached the age, but if my family marries out, only Qinghong is of appropriate age..."

Li Xuanling was Li Qinghong's biological father, and was even more anxious, muttering:

"Absolutely not. Qinghong has been blessed with talisman seeds, and her talent is the highest among the Yuan-Qing generation. How can she be married!"

Li Xuanxuan also shook his head in embarrassment and said in a deep voice:

"It is indeed impossible, but the Xiao family is a great family, and being able to marry my family is giving face. It is impossible to let people marry into the family!"

"Marrying into the family is naturally impossible, and Qinghong cannot be married out!"

Li Tongya shook his head and set the tone for the matter, then continued:

"Now the marriage is undecided, my family is weak, according to reason, I still have to marry a daughter, but it is not without a solution."

He sipped tea and continued:

"At worst, let my family's direct son match his family's concubine daughter. Such a concession is enough, so as not to make the Xiao family dissatisfied."

"Uncle is right!"

Li Xuanxuan responded, then continued:

"There is one more thing that has not been reported. The Yu family borrowed my family's excuse to kill a batch of the An family, supported puppets, and became vassals. An Jingming also died, only An Zheyan fled, and later fled to my family, and has now invested in my family, offering a few techniques."

"An Zheyan."

Li Tongya paused and said in a low voice:

"Let him come up to see me."

Everyone nodded, chatted carefully for a while, then retreated one after another, drawing talismans, cultivating, each busy.
