Chapter 569: Northern Line

The two were silent for a moment, and below, another person came up. Li Xuanxuan listened with his ears, and saw An Siwei say in a low voice:

"My lord, An is pregnant." The An he spoke of was naturally one of Li Zhouwei's concubines. If it were a few months earlier, it would be a matter worthy of Li Xuanxuan's celebration. Now, hearing this, his heart sank. The old man smiled on his face and comforted: "You go down, take her to Qingdu, and let the Master take a look..."

Kongheng listened on the side, and Li Ximing stood with his hands behind his back, waiting, his eyes staying on his face. After An Siwei went down, he asked softly:

"This matter... does the Master have a solution?"

Kongheng could only close his eyes and shake his head, replying: "Let's take a look at the Lady first."

The three rode the wind and landed on the peak, sat down in the palace in turn. Li Ximing held his tea and thought for a few breaths, and An was entering from outside the palace.

This woman's face was rounder, and compared to Xu, she looked more docile. She walked forward slowly and somewhat uneasily. Just as she was about to bow, she was immediately supported by Li Xuanxuan. Kongheng looked at her twice, felt the woman's pulse, and pinched the formula with one hand.

He probed twice with magic light, first ensuring that there was no sign of reincarnation in her body, not daring to calculate again, just pondering, recalling the appearance of Xu he had seen earlier, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Li Ximing didn't move, still staring at the tea water. Li Xuanxuan said in a hoarse voice:

"You go down first."

"Yes."

Lady An replied softly and walked out of the palace. Only then did the narrow-eyed monk say in a low voice:

"The little monk looked carefully, the problem with the Lady is not big. If the little monk had been in the clan earlier, with my Buddhist secret method, calming life and nourishing the body, I could have saved Lady Xu's life."

Li Xuanxuan felt relieved when he heard this. Li Ximing finally raised his eyebrows and asked emphatically: "Is there any turning point for the child? Will there be any anomalies for Jiang'ao in the future?"

Kongheng was a bit embarrassed and replied in a low voice: "The matter of the young master is not something I can do. Just looking at the appearance of Young Master Jiang'ao, I fear it is not a good thing. We still have to wait a few years to see carefully..."

Li Jiang'ao's full mouth of fangs and the greedy look in his eyes were still lingering in Li Ximing's mind. He estimated that Kongheng's "not a good thing" was mostly said lightly, and only said:

"Is the second son also like Jiang'ao?"

"The little monk is not sure..."

Kongheng replied:

"The matter of fate and bloodline relates to spiritual opportunity, spiritual atmosphere, time, parents... The Zifu and Golden Core of the great dynasties of Great Wei, Northern Qi, and Great Liang cannot grasp it clearly. It is not something the little monk can weigh..."

"Just..."

He smiled bitterly and continued: "Mingyang has many children, and Foundation Establishment and Zifu also often have offspring. There must be someone who can inherit the great cause..."

Kongheng said this clearly. Li Ximing nodded, let him go down to see Lady An, and lowered his head again. Li Xuanxuan sat uneasily and said in a low voice:

"What about Jiang'ao..."

"Just raise him."

Li Ximing replied and continued: "Since Kongheng can save the Lady, then marry a few more, and let Zhouwei take a look."

Li Xuanxuan could only respond, and said again: "What about Lady Xu..."

"Don't spread it for now."

Li Ximing was silent for a moment and suddenly said:

"I don't know if Zhouwei resists this matter. I see that he actually has a bit of affection for his concubines. He knows the importance and should follow the arrangement."

Li Xuanxuan looked at his grandson somewhat strangely. Seeing his golden robe shining in the sun, rippling with a burst of light, the late Foundation Establishment cultivation made his face look a bit hazy in the bright light.

Li Ximing drank tea and said heavily: "Although the second uncle is good at shooting with a divine bow, falling into the hands of Qingchi, I don't see that he can take care of the family. Aunt and Xizhi are both missing in the demonic clouds, Wushao is hard to guarantee his life, and I don't know how many people will return from the north."

He looked at Li Xuanxuan's old face and said softly:

"Zifu is distant, and the Mingyang bloodline has only been obtained in a few hundred years. It must be kept. Whether it is like a wolf or a tiger, even if it is not like its father, it is better than ordinary people."

Li Xuanxuan was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect this man to be silent for a breath, and continued: "If Mingyang is too fierce, we must call Li Jiang'ao. Although he is not like a human, beasts also know the matter of intercourse! Many generations and many children, there will always be people whose temperament is like a human and who are gifted!"

"You..."

Li Xuanxuan was silent when he heard this. Li Ximing's words were not unreasonable, but falling into his ears like this was cold and full of ruthlessness. The old man looked at the Mingyang light of the young Daoist in front of him and suddenly realized:

"He is no longer the child who was stubborn and focused on cultivation in the past. His cultivation is at a high place, so the family must listen to him..."

"It is this ruthlessness that is the same as in the past. If this is done, where will the clan law be placed? How should the family law be viewed?... A hundred years will surely be a scene of chaos. With only this one Mingyang lineage, where will the four lineages be placed? Wouldn't it become a joke!"

He was silent for a moment, and persuaded gently: "But don't be in a hurry, perhaps there will be a turning point later."

Li Ximing nodded and asked in a low voice:

"Should I go to the north to take a look and meet them?"

Li Xuanxuan was unwilling to agree. The old man tactfully said: "It is good that you have the heart, but don't go north again."

"I am going to refine elixirs. If there is anything, send someone to call me."

Li Ximing returned the salute and retreated. His words were pressed on the old man's heart. Li Xuanxuan thought heavily:

"The balance of the four lineages depends entirely on the direct line of Qingdu and living together since childhood. If the descendants of Mingyang grow up, Mingyang is domineering, how can they call themselves brothers with the secular? I fear they will call themselves the direct line and despise the four lineages."

He didn't know if he could see that day, but Li Xuanxuan saw too many things. The old man sat on the seat and pondered: "This matter still needs to ask Xijun, and I don't know how his injury is."

If it weren't for that precious medicine 【Diwang Blood Stone】, Li Xijun would have fallen on the lake that day. He had been in seclusion for several years without any sound, and the old man had never dared to disturb him.

Li Ximing came out of the palace. Just as he walked to his elixir pavilion, several people were already waiting outside the pavilion. The leader was An Siwei, followed by a middle-aged man, about thirty years old, with a woman pulling a doll in his hand.

Li Ximing stopped and looked, and cast a puzzled look at An Siwei. The middle-aged man who was bending over and bowing behind him immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Father..."

"Oh!"

Li Ximing was stunned and replied:

"Chengzhi..."

The person in front of him was his eldest son, Li Chengzhi. He was born without a spiritual aperture and was soon put down the mountain. Li Ximing had been in seclusion every day, and his eyes opened and closed for several years, so he didn't recognize his eldest son.

This middle-aged man, Li Chengzhi, just hurriedly pulled the child and said very nervously: "Father! Chengzhi understands that Father's time cannot be delayed. At that time, we agreed to marriage with his wife. Later, Zhouming was born. It was a coincidence that Father was in seclusion, so we didn't dare to enter the mountain... Today, the child found a spiritual aperture... Chengzhi really didn't dare to delay, so he entered the mountain with a thick face!"

Even if Li Ximing had a heart of iron, he couldn't move when he heard this. He pulled the child and looked at him. After asking carefully, the talent was really poor.

"Grandfather..."

The child called out eagerly. Li Ximing had to pull him, feeling sour in his heart, and a bit unable to face them. He waved his hand to cover up: "Stay with me for a while, and retreat if there is nothing!"

The couple thanked him repeatedly and retreated. Li Ximing asked a question inexplicably: "How are they doing now?"

An Siwei said in a low voice: "According to the rules of the clan, the direct line of mortals is not allowed to do business, not allowed to hold power, not allowed to annex fields, and not allowed to inherit houses... The young master now makes a living by teaching."

Li Ximing asked someone to take the child down, watched him arrange things carefully, and found that the child had brought his luggage up long ago. His heart felt strange, and he said softly: "Take me down to see."

An Siwei received the order, and the two rode the wind and landed, quickly passing through a large, neat house, facing the cold wind of late winter. A series of lights connected and stopped at a small house in the town.

The small house was not luxurious, just an ordinary residence. The tiles were black, and a few were broken, and they hadn't been repaired.

Li Ximing had been delayed for more than half an hour, and it was late at night. The couple had already returned to sleep. He stopped on the roof, stared at the crack, and suddenly didn't walk.

The hearing of the Foundation Establishment level allowed him to hear the movement clearly on the roof, listening to the daughter-in-law's voice: "Now that we have a backer, Ming'er's path in the future will definitely be better."

Li Ximing heard this and raised his chin slightly.

"That's it!"

Li Chengzhi's voice was not as low and submissive as before, revealing a bit of pride, and said sneakily: "What's more... Father has no close people around him, and the north is frequently conscripted. I heard that he was defeated again recently, so he must be calling people again."

"I heard that elixir-refining cultivators are often not good at fighting. Think about it... if he hits the luck, something happens in the north, the things will definitely be left to Zhouming... no need to divide them again!"

A woman's sudden realization came from the side:

"Husband... you really thought of it wonderfully! The legacy of a Foundation Establishment elixir cultivator... I don't know how many immortal elixirs and immortal medicines there are... perhaps there are Foundation Establishment magic treasures..."

The couple discussed happily. An Siwei heard sweat on his forehead and was a bit angry.

Li Ximing was much calmer. He waved his hand to stop him, took him to ride the wind and rise, and flew to the mountain without looking back.

The bright moon was bright, and the white moonlight fell on his face. Li Ximing waved his hand and ordered:

"No need to report to the clan justice. I will be a heartless person first. I can't blame others. Hoping for my death is also a common situation... As for being inconsistent, honey-mouthed and sword-hearted, turning around in human feelings, and begging for benefits..."

He said softly: "My father also taught me this. He didn't need his father to teach him. He understood it after rolling in the secular world, which is better than me."

Wangyue Lake shore.

Li Zhouwei rode the wind and landed on the shore. The snow on Wangyue Lake had melted, and the green of early spring spread on the shore, which was very pleasing.

Xu was a concubine after all. He buried the woman at the foot of Lijing Mountain, and the guards and maids were strictly supervised. The news was not spread, and Li Jiang'ao's birth was also silent, and only a few people in Qingdu knew.

He walked on the shore for a while, and his heart calmed down.

Xu and him couldn't talk about any feelings, just Mingyang's seduction, and those with weak will soon sank into the flesh. He had thought well, and he gave Xu the status and life she wanted. This woman had always lived happily, but he didn't expect that she would die suddenly in this matter.

Li Zhouwei had just walked for a while, and someone came up to report. An Siwei's voice was lower, saying heavily: "Your Highness, someone is coming from the north again."

Although An Siwei was introverted, his father An Jiyan had lost news in the north, and Chen Mufeng, Li Wen, Li Minggong, and others were all missing. The Qingchi Sect sent people again, and nine times out of ten, they were going to be conscripted again. Seeing him, he was also a bit indignant.

Li Zhouwei had expected it, later than he thought. While riding the wind, he asked: "Who was sent? Where is Zhao Tinggui?"

An Siwei landed in the mountain with him and replied:

"The visitor calls himself Ning Heyuan."

'It's actually him!'

Li Zhouwei arrived in front of the palace. From afar, he heard Li Xuanxuan's polite voice. The old man said some beautiful words, listening to Ning Heyuan laugh: "Senior is polite! Heyuan also came to your clan back then. At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I had fought with Daoist Qinghong."

Li Zhouwei entered the palace sideways. Li Ximing hadn't arrived yet. He waited on the side. Ning Heyuan glanced at him hurriedly, and couldn't help but look at him twice more. His heart turned a circle, and he secretly said:

"He should be the heir of the Li family. I heard that his cultivation talent is comparable to Li Ximing, but his temperament and means are brilliant. Just looking at his face, he is domineering and brave..."

He calculated in his heart, but didn't loosen his mouth, and laughed:

"At that time, the Foundation Establishment of the Fei family was beheaded by someone, and the sect sent my aunt to investigate, so I came to visit. At that time, I didn't understand things."

This sentence was sincere, and he said it very heavily. The conversation turned, and he sighed:

"Tang Shedu acted decisively, causing us to suffer a great defeat, so that Yanshan Pass was broken. Fortunately, my brother-in-law is fine. At this time, he should be following the True Person. Perhaps there is still a fate. Senior doesn't need to worry."

Li Xuanxuan heard this, and the heart he was holding finally let go a lot. Li Ximing was falling from outside the palace. Ning Heyuan greeted him and said softly:

"Have Xizhi and Qinghong returned?"

Li Xuanxuan shook his head silently. Ning Heyuan's heart suddenly fell, and he secretly said it was troublesome. Li Xuanxuan asked back: "Yanshan Pass is broken, I don't know Zhao Tinggui and others..."

"Tinggui died in battle... My Yuehu Peak lost five or six out of ten people, and three Foundation Establishment died!"

Ning Heyuan's tone was extremely heavy. Obviously, Yuehu Peak had also suffered a huge blow in this matter. After all, the element died. Although many backhands were left, it could never be fully protected like when he was alive.

'No matter what, it's better than Yuwu Peak...'

Ning Heyuan paused before saying:

"The sect arranged to defend the line on the south bank of the Great River. Thinking that your clan suffered a lot of damage, Foundation Establishment only needs Ximing to go. Just look at your clan's Qi Refining is full, and you need to mobilize a few more."

Before the three could speak, he took out a jade box from his arms and replied:

"The sect... also has compensation."

Ning Heyuan opened it in front of the three. Inside were two round elixirs, emitting light, white and crystal clear. As soon as it was opened, a fragrance rushed to his face.

'Suiyuan Pill'

These two elixirs were very familiar. They were exactly the Suiyuan Pills that everyone rushed to, assisting Foundation Establishment.

Li Ximing took a look, Li Xuanxuan pondered while touching his beard, Ning Heyuan said softly: "The order of the Sect Master, how many Foundation Establishment the various families lost, they will be supplemented with Suiyuan Pills accordingly. Qinghong originally made some contributions, and your clan's manpower was lost in Yanshan Pass, so we will supplement your clan with two first."

He bowed his hand and said:

"If your clan's direct line Foundation Establishment suffers losses in the north, as long as it is confirmed that they died, the sect will also subsidize Suiyuan Pills." ===== CHAPTER 570 =====
