Chapter 695: The Ups and Downs of the World

~17 min read 3,357 words

Li Li Ximing said this, and True Person Ling Mei nodded, letting him drink tea first, and apologized to go to the Chenghua Hall to ask for the book. After a long while, he came over holding a Dao scripture. The Dao scripture had a dark blue cover and pale yellow paper. It was half-unfolded and presented in his hands. He didn't put it on the jade table even when he reached the tree, just saying: "Can Zhaojing, please look."

It wasn't right to let him hold it like this, but treasures often had anomalies, and he was afraid it would crush the table if he put it down. Li Li Ximing just used his supernatural powers and used both hands to take it, but he saw True Person Ling Mei raise his hand and say: "Can Zhaojing, the Wanyu Sword Book is unusual. I'd better hold it."

He smiled: "If you have sword intent on your body, the Sword Book is as light as brocade. Even an old farmer can tuck it into his bosom and take it away. But without sword path cultivation, the Sword Book is as heavy as the Tai Chamber. Even if you reach the Early Zifu, it is difficult to move."

He gave a smile, and Li Li Ximing then set his eyes on the Sword Book. The Sword Book was only opened for a few thin pages, with six or seven pages pressed in front, revealing a few small characters, which were: 【White Pear】

The two characters were snow-white. After two lines, small characters appeared again, also snow-white: 【Yuxin】

Behind these two characters were tiny characters, written as 【Liyang Yuxin Pure Yang Sword】, and then it was more complex, with dense symbols mixed with sentences, which could not be deciphered.

True Person Ling Mei used his supernatural powers to flip through it, and only then did he see the cyan-white ancient characters written on the last few pages:

【Mount Qingchi】

Li Li Ximing looked at it as a sword name. After a few lines, it turned into ordinary ink color, written:

【Yueque】

These two characters were annotated with 【Moonlight Listening to the Autumn Light Sword】. Li Li Ximing looked carefully and felt a bit uncomfortable, asking: "What is the name behind? Why is the handwriting not as bright as the previous ones?"

True Person Ling Mei sighed:

"Sword intent appears in the world, and it enters the Sword Book. The ones behind are the names of sword intent. If they are bright, it means this sword intent still remains in the world."

The sword intent sealed by the Li family had long been used, so it was naturally dim. Li Li Ximing bowed and paid respects. True Person Ling Mei remained silent for a long time, returned the Sword Book, and comforted: "It is often said that hatred for a hundred years can still be avenged, but there are times when there is nowhere to avenge it. The energy is gathered in the hand but cannot be released... that is the difficulty."

Li Li Ximing knew he was talking about Chi Wei having long since died, and the Chi family declining to the situation of a few cats and kittens in the collateral branch. The Li family had now reached the Early Zifu, but there was nowhere to avenge it, so he just said softly:

"Thank you, Senior, for your understanding."

If one really wanted to discuss it, Li Xuangfeng, Li Li Xizhi, and others played a crucial role in the destruction of the Chi family. Except for Chi Chi Zhiyun who was in seclusion, all the direct descendants of the Chi surname were wiped out, which was also a form of revenge...

'And Chi Chi Zhiyun doesn't know where he is in seclusion. Si Si Boxiu probably won't let him come out of seclusion...'

Li Li Ximing's thoughts flashed by. He remembered Cheng Gao, a friend of his uncle Li Li Yuanjiao back then, so he asked: "The Cheng Gao mentioned by the Daoist friend back then had some friendship with my family. Where is he today?"

True Person Ling Mei was slightly stunned and replied:

"He is still in Ganzi, Daxi Yuan, guarding the White Li Qiang Kingdom. It's just a small country. There are quite a few demonic cultivators in the Long region now, so he cannot move lightly."

The Wanyu Jianmen was in Jiangnan, but its jurisdiction actually flew to the northwest of the Wu Kingdom, the border of the Zhao Kingdom. Li Li Ximing hadn't understood this for many years, so he took the opportunity to knock on the side and ask. True Person Ling Mei answered very refreshingly: "This matter has to be traced back to the True Person. Back then, the ancestor sought the Dao and originally intended to establish the sect on Yuchuan Jianfeng. Who knew that when he asked the True Person, the True Person denied it."

"The True Person said this: 'The Dao lineage of the world is left to change, but two things cannot be changed. First, the Sword Sect should choose a mountain in the Shu region, and second, the Witch Talisman should continue in the Southern Frontier...' Our ancestor asked for advice again and again, and the True Person only said that it should look pleasing to the Immortal Lord..."

"Look pleasing to the Immortal Lord?"

Li Li Ximing frowned in confusion, but the Immortal Lord's meaning must have a deep meaning. True Person Ling Mei continued: "Our ancestor established the sect in the Shu region. In Jiangnan, there were only the Raising Sword Ferry and the Jianfeng. At its peak, it deterred Long and Shu. Later, the ancestor passed away, and it withered day by day. The old ancestor could not move in Jiangnan, so he slowly moved to Jiangnan, where the spiritual energy was more prosperous... Therefore, to this day, there is still a foundation in Long and Shu."

Li Li Ximing then suddenly realized, and secretly calculated in his heart: "I heard that the Wei Li family was the Long region Li family before they succeeded. If there is a chance, I must go to the Long region. If the Jianmen has a foundation, I can ask when the time comes."

He chatted casually for two sentences and soon got up to say goodbye. Ling Mei didn't dare to let him run for nothing to Yuchuan Jianfeng, so he took out a jade box from his sleeve, which was clearly prepared when he took the Sword Book, and apologized:

"It's really wronging Can Zhaojing. I heard that your family has a 【Wanling Flower】. Please accept this 【Horn Wood Golden Ear】... as a return gift from our Jianmen."

Li Li Ximing couldn't refuse, so he took the jade box and flew into the void, and only then did he take out the jade box to look. Inside was a golden horn wood ear needle.

'It's something from True Person Tianjiao. It counts as resources for the Early Zifu. It's much better than ordinary treasures...'

He put away the jade box. He had finally dealt with the three parties. Although the Jianmen was polite in seeing him off, it could be considered settled. His heart felt much lighter.

"I have handled the relationship with the three sects and seven gates in a standard way. Next... I can look towards Jiangbei!"

……

Pingya Continent.

Li Li Jiangxia walked out of the hall, his armor clanking. He stepped on golden light, and a black horse with scales on its abdomen and fiery red eyes stopped on the continent, snorting.

This horse was bred from the famous horse Zhongsu of the East Shanyue area and the Black Scale Horse of the Great Desert. An Jiyan caught it for more than three years and bred it for several years. It was sent to the lake when it reached adulthood. Li Li Zhouwei had already reached Foundation Establishment, so he naturally didn't need it, so he bestowed it on Li Li Jiangxia, who was the most favored.

Li Li Jiangxia had just mounted the spiritual horse and adjusted the horse's head when someone turned out from the lower left. It seemed that he had been standing there for a long time, shouting across the courtyard guards:

"Third Prince! Third Prince!"

Li Li Jiangxia looked down, slightly puzzled. The elder brother, Li Li Jianglong, was a step slower and also arrived behind. He just took one look and hurried forward, laughing:

"Third Brother, you don't know. This is the illegitimate son of a clan brother of the twenty-sixth room. He is out of the main branch, with a single name, Hun."

"So it's you!"

Li Li Jiangxia had been away from the clan for many years and didn't know any Hun or Xing. He just wanted to urge the horse forward. The two courtyard guards didn't give way, separated by two cold iron spears. Li Hun was older than both of them, just shouting:

"Eh, Second Prince is also here! This nephew pays respects."

Li Li Jiangxia saw that he was thin and had an ordinary appearance. He just picked up the horse whip and laughed loudly: "Second Brother, this person looks just like you. He is indeed a relative of the family. Except for that pair of eyes, he really looks exactly the same!"

Li Li Jiangxia had always been a dragon-spirited and tiger-fierce, high-spirited appearance, naturally different from Li Li Jianglong. And Li Hun's mother's family was the Chen clan, which was the same as Li Li Jianglong's. It was reasonable for them to look alike. Li Li Jianglong heard this and found it interesting, accompanying him with a laugh. Li Hun, who was on the ground, heard this and just knelt down, shouting:

"Two uncles, you are too kind! This nephew doesn't have this blessing! It's just that I've reached the age, so I came to the continent to find some work. I didn't expect to run into the Third Prince. Thinking of my father often mentioning you, I became a bit excited..."

'Still calling me Third Prince!'

Li Li Jianglong heard that he was here to climb the branch. After all, it was a consensus that his younger brother was going to the East Bank. This Li Hun could come to the hall, and his father must be a Qi Refining cultivator. He laughed in his heart:

"So he came to cling to my younger brother."

How could Li Li Jiangxia not hear it? He laughed loudly, put the horse whip into his hand, and pulled the horse's head:

"Good, good, good. When I get back from the East Bank and have time, you just come to me and we'll have a good chat."

He didn't wait for a response and rode away, leaving Li Hun caught off guard. Before he could react, Li Li Jianglong had already helped him up, just asking: "Clan brother, what are you doing on the continent..."

Li Hun subconsciously said:

"They said there were guests on the continent. My father took him into the hall. Several elders went to see the Clan Master. He..."

He realized he shouldn't have said it, but Li Li Jianglong let go of his hand and interrupted in surprise:

"So it's a clan affair! I thought it was visiting relatives and friends, so I asked. I shouldn't have said it... I shouldn't have said it! You child have a loose mouth. Don't walk around in the hall in the future. If you bump into something... be careful of Qidu punishing you!"

He said it in a way that made Li Hun terrified, but his hand unknowingly took off the token on Li Hun's waist and buckled it into his hand. His tone deepened:

"It's fortunate that I ran into you, so you don't run around. Follow me to see your father..."

Li Hun had no token to pass, so he couldn't go anywhere in the hall. He could only follow foolishly, thinking about it in a mess, and finally became terrified, hurriedly saying: "Second Prince, Father has important matters... it's really not suitable to meet!"

"No matter."

Li Li Jianglong paused before the steps and looked back with a kind smile, his golden eyes piercing over: "I'll wait for him in the side hall."

Li Hun was terrified on the spot and couldn't move for a long time. Li Li Jianglong gently took his hand and walked through the corridor, all the way to the side hall. Li Hun almost collapsed.

Li Li Jianglong had no intention of caring about him, secretly observing. He only saw a middle-aged man in a miserable state pass through the courtyard guards. He seemed to be a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, his cultivation was vain, and he looked like he was piled up with spiritual objects.

"Who is it again...!"

……

Li Li Ximing traveled through the void, broke into his own formation, flew down with heavenly light, and shuttled into the hall. The journey that would have taken several days before the Early Zifu now took only a quarter of an hour, and the sky hadn't changed much.

Li Li Zhouwei was standing in the hall, placing a dozen jade boxes on the table, using a vermilion brush to write on the boxes. Seeing Li Li Ximing appear, he bowed and replied:

"Reporting to the True Person, the return gifts for the three sects and seven gates are ready."

Now, excluding the Li family, there were two clans of the three sects and seven gates in the Yue Kingdom. Li Li Ximing chose three to visit in person, but that didn't mean the rest could be ignored. Anyone who had a Early Zifu cultivator at the Dharma Assembly had to have a letter sent with a gift, saying that he was in seclusion to stabilize his supernatural powers and could not come in person. Li Li Ximing had already prepared letters for Jin Yu, Heng Zhu, and Brother Xuan Yue, each picking spiritual medicines to send. Li Li Zhouwei collected them and told him about Li Li Chenghuai's breakthrough. Li Li Ximing was very satisfied and nodded: "Let him come up to see me."

As soon as he said this, someone hurried to the front of the hall and said respectfully: "Reporting to the Clan Master and True Person, someone has come to the continent, claiming to be the son of an old friend, asking to see the Clan Master."

'Son of an old friend.'

Li Li Zhouwei moved slightly in his heart, not knowing what kind of character it was. He only saw Li Li Ximing's heavenly light move between his eyebrows, and he sat on the side, his voice slightly cold: "Invite him up!"

The man hurried away. After a dozen breaths, the footsteps on the stairs before the hall were chaotic. A person arrived in the hall in a mess, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed: "Pay... pay respects to the Clan Master!"

Li Li Zhouwei looked carefully. It was a middle-aged man with a stubble face, late-stage Qi Refining cultivation. His appearance had a few points of nobility, but he was full of panic and fear, his legs trembling, only knowing how to kowtow.

Li Li Zhouwei didn't recognize this person, but he saw Li Li Ximing sipping tea and said casually: "It's actually Young Master Yuan... I wonder... what is the business?"

These words scared the person on the ground so much that his whole body turned cold, as if he were about to die immediately. He couldn't even speak. Li Li Ximing just sipped his tea, not even looking at him.

After a while, Li Li Chenghuai came in from the front of the hall and avoided to the side. He took a look and felt very familiar, his heart shocked: "Yuan Yuan Fuyao!"

This person was indeed the son of an old friend—the son of Yuan Yuan Chendun—Yuan Yuan Fuyao.

Back then, Yuan Tuan went missing, and Yuan Yuan Chendun went to sea, expecting that he would never return, so he spent his friendship with the Li family to set the marriage contract for Yuan Yuan Fuyao. Who knew that Yuan Yuan Huyuan and Yuan Yuan Huduo, in order to please the Chi family, broke the contract and taught Yuan Yuan Fuyao to take the family property and leave to marry the Song family's young lady.

The divergence between the Li and Yuan families started from this time. Now it had reached the point where Li Li Xizhi and Yuan Chenzhao were enemies...

Li Li Ximing also knew about this matter, and even more knew that Yuan Yuan Fuyao later lived a life of a beautiful wife and concubine, carefree and happy, and became the master of the Song mansion. Now he had run to his front.

The Li family members had different expressions, and Yuan Yuan Fuyao was even more unable to speak. The life of the Song family was indeed a beautiful wife and concubine at first, playing the piano and discussing the Dao every day, but ten years of time passed in a flash, and the North-South struggle broke out.

Relying on the clan's preferential treatment, Yuan Yuan Fuyao didn't have to go to the river bank, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Who knew that the Song family suffered heavy losses in the struggle and moved their minds to Yuan Yuan Chendun's relics? So today they borrowed five coins, tomorrow ten coins, and came to urge them every day.

The world was chaotic, and he couldn't escape. Bad news came one after another. The Chi family's main branch was destroyed, and the Song family fell into a decline, intensifying their urging. Fortunately, his father's relics were enough, and he covered them tightly, actually supporting them for more than ten years, just to hide his light and bide his time. The original comfortable life was not to be thought of.

Hearing that the Li family was flourishing, and Li Li Xizhi, who was almost his brother-in-law, had achieved great success in cultivation and was famous in Jiangnan as 【Tian Ge Xia】, Yuan Yuan Fuyao already had regrets, like a mouse gnawing at his heart, tossing and turning.

Until Li Li Ximing achieved supernatural powers, the sound of his magic power resounded through Jiangnan. Yuan Yuan Fuyao was shocked, jumped out of the window immediately, didn't dare to bring anything, didn't dare to take anything, hid and hid, waited in the wilderness for several months, and finally found out that the Mount Qingchi people arrived at the Song family that night, and the whole clan had no survivors, wives, concubines, and children all died.

He was born a pampered young master. Even the worst treatment in the Song family was something ordinary loose cultivators didn't dare to think about. He hid and hid and didn't dare to see anyone. He felt that the life he lived was not a life for a human, and he was afraid that Li Li Ximing would remember him and break through the void to take him, so he finally came to the lake himself.

He was terrified for a long time, told his misery, and then said astringently:

"The little one... the little one regrets it too late! Please, Immortal Clan, raise your hand high..."

Li Li Zhouwei had already understood and looked coldly:

'He is also a person with some schemes... but his character is not a great vessel!'

Li Li Zhouwei had already understood, looking coldly:

'It's also a bit of scheming... but the personality is not a great weapon!'
