Chapter 790: Great Li Book
After seeing the affairs of the Xiao Xian, Li Zhouluo's handling was also sent over. He read it a few times and shook his head:
"Judging and killing in court, you did not do well... it is also because you have no prestige, and you are afraid of hurting the feelings between the clansmen..."
Finally, he looked at the shelter matter, was stunned for a moment, did not say much, just sighed and replied:
"Let's go."
As soon as Li Chenghuai came out of seclusion, Li Zhouluo seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden. He took off the black robe on his body, draped it over his hand, and followed quickly. Li Chenghuai in front asked: "Where is the shelter list."
Li Zhouluo had already hidden it in his bosom and sent it to his father's hand. Li Chenghuai scanned it roughly and replied:
"The two branches are balanced, which is not bad. It's just that the number of people is a bit large, but since the old senior let Jiangqian come, it doesn't matter if there are more."
Li Zhouluo did not mention Li Xuanxuan's intention, but Li Chenghuai calculated the time and had already guessed it in his heart. He broke it in one word, stepped out, and suddenly asked: "Cheng's inheritance originally had three choices in the ancestral sacrifice. How are those three people now?"
Li Zhouluo had been paying attention to this matter and replied immediately:
"The one with the closest bloodline and most suitable age is called Zhou Tui. These days, he has been working hard in the continent, and he is quite active in both cultivation and managing the spirit fields..."
"The older one is Li Zhouda, whose bloodline is also close. He does things in a hurry and is crisp. Now he is working in Yuting. The only thing is that his temper is not good. Last year, he drank and beat a clansman... and was reported to Qingdu."
He paused slightly and finally said:
"There is another one, whose bloodline is relatively distant, called Li Zhousun. The one whom the Great Senior let stay in the mansion temporarily before his death. He seems to have given up hope early and did not go to the continent to take any position, but took advantage of this time to go into seclusion and cultivate."
Li Chenghuai pondered for a breath and shook his head: "Hard to choose..."
Although Li Zhoutui performed well, the crying at the funeral was really uncomfortable. Li Zhouda's temper was violent, which inevitably made people hesitate. Finally, Li Zhousun, whether out of respect for Li Cheng's bloodline or something else, finally stepped down, making it difficult for Li Chenghuai to help him.
He thought about it, and the two stopped in the corridor and asked:
"How is their cultivation?"
Li Zhouluo saluted and said:
"Zhouda has already reached Qi Refining and is a famous brother in the family, with a slightly higher reputation. The other two are still in Embryonic Breath. Zhou Tui and Zhou Sun are about the same age, and their cultivation is also similar."
Li Zhouluo did not make it clear, but the meaning was already very obvious. Although the continent gave the same treatment, the resources Zhou Tui enjoyed from his father's generation were clearly not comparable to the isolated Zhou Sun, which showed that his talent was not as good. Li Chenghuai understood, stepped forward, and nodded: "I know. You don't speak up about this matter. After all, the Daoist lineage has already been given. Who can build the foundation in the end is still unknown. The magic tools are all kept in the clan. I will find an opportunity to see Zhou Sun. You don't have to be too biased toward anyone, and don't show your approval."
If it weren't for Li Xuanxuan's words, Li Zhouluo would still be confused after hearing his father's words. Now he understood clearly and replied:
"The child already understood. I haven't seen any of them alone these years."
"Good."
Li Chenghuai responded and laughed:
"It's rare for you to be tempered for three years, you have grown up a lot."
Li Zhouluo could only smile shyly and replied:
"I know the pros and cons now. If it weren't for the old senior, the lake that the family governed for six generations would have been ruined by me in two or three years."
The middle-aged man in front shook his head: "The predecessors governed well for a hundred years, only enough for the descendants to govern mediocrely for one generation. If they govern mediocrely for one generation, it is not enough for the descendants to govern evilly for three years..."
He was teaching his eldest son when he saw a piece of apricot yellow rising in the sky, drifting straight to the horizon. Halfway through, it fell and manifested into apricot-colored Li Fire, blowing toward the lake.
These Li Fires, large or small, drifted gracefully and brightly in the air, like countless river lanterns. The night had not yet ended, and the sky was just beginning to brighten. The lake surface also reflected the sky full of Li Fire, causing a group of cultivators around to watch while riding the wind.
"Hum!"
The array of Qingdu Mountain in the distance was immediately stimulated, and the colors rushed straight into the sky. The 【Morning Meng】 in the array was activated, sweeping toward the sky, sweeping away the Li Fire around.
Li Zhouluo's eyes lit up, while Li Chenghuai hurriedly rode the wind and circled in the air. Sure enough, he saw a man in a crimson robe flying over with fire. The robe was worn very loosely, with a pure white short shirt inside. Apricot-yellow flames were still burning on his black hair.
He was tall and thin, with slightly long eyebrows. Under the black eyebrows were a pair of golden eyes. His arms were crossed over his chest, a sword was tied to his waist, and he was holding a small round hammer in his fair hand, leaning lazily on his shoulder.
Seeing Li Chenghuai rushing over, the young man smiled slightly, looking high-spirited, and replied: "Greetings, Little Uncle!"
"Congratulations!"
Li Jiangqian bowed and saluted. Li Chenghuai responded with a smile. Seeing several people rushing over, he raised his head slightly. The first sentence was: "How is Quewan?"
Li Zhouluo had just rushed over and laughed when he heard it:
"Quewan also went into seclusion before the year, saying that she wanted to adjust her breath, reach perfection in her cultivation, and choose a day to break through to Foundation Establishment."
"Good."
Although Li Jiangqian's seniority was not high, his status was special. Once he refined the Immortal Foundation, his right to speak clearly had a qualitative change. He saluted the crowd, and the second sentence was: "Do the family have news of Father and True Person..."
Li Chenghuai shook his head while taking him down. All the way to the continent, Li Jiangqian stood still in the courtyard. After waiting for a group of people to sit down, he looked around, and Li Zhouming was still missing.
Li Jiangqian waited patiently. After half a cup of tea, he saw a young man in red rushing in from outside the hall. Li Zhouming did not dare to meet Li Xuanxuan's gaze and sat down on the side, shrinking his head.
The old man's eyes were sharp. Seeing that his clothes were neat, but his boots were worn wrong and his hair accessories were extremely simple, he must have worn fancy clothes to go horse riding early in the morning. Nine times out of ten, he went to the lake shore to flirt with some woman again.
Li Jiangqian then bowed and saluted, replying:
"Reporting to all elders, the junior has refined the Immortal Foundation 'Great Li Book'. Li Fire follows, movement can remove Jin Gang, swallow Horn Wood, burn gold and boil the sea. Stillness can settle Flame Fire, lead Li Light, not startling birds..."
He only said these words, and the people around congratulated him. Li Jiangqian nodded accordingly. Li Xuanxuan saw it and coughed:
"Let's disperse first..."
The old man waved his hand, let the people on both sides disperse, pulled Li Jiangqian inside alone, closed the doors on both sides, and asked: "How is it? You cultivated the family's sixth-grade technique. Our family has never had anyone cultivate it before. I am afraid there is something unusual."
Li Jiangqian helped him sit down, served tea, and said in a low voice:
"Old Senior, I have already cultivated the 'Great Li Book'. This Immortal Foundation is based on techniques. The Immortal Foundation can store Li Light, and the speed of driving fire is extremely fast. It connects to the first manifestation of heaven, so it can also remove evil spirits. Its own mystery is to match medicine with wood, which can increase longevity, heal injuries, and increase benefits when taken..."
"Oh?"
Li Xuanxuan's eyes lit up and asked:
"Matching medicine? Is it like a pill?"
Li Jiangqian shook his head, stretched out a hand, put two fingers together, pointed his thumb at the middle joint, and suddenly a puff of apricot-yellow bright flame popped out with a bang.
This flame was different from the Li Fire he had seen in the past, and different from the five kinds of Li Fire in the 【Yang Li Red Sparrow Flag】 rolling up and down, but stayed steadily on his fingertips, not moving at all.
He smiled and replied:
"The unusual thing the Old Senior mentioned is probably this flame."
"The fire of my Immortal Foundation is called Apricot Li. Ordinary fire fears earth, but this fire can resist much more. The inheritance is written in great detail. Except for the two earths of the country, it does not fear any other earth. It is a pity that it is too hot when placed in the furnace and cannot become a pill. The sea of Qi is full of apricot yellow. Even if it reaches Zifu, it has no fate with pills."
"This medicine... most of it can only be taken by myself. Perhaps the Luan Sparrow kind can also eat it."
Li Xuanxuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and sighed:
"It is worthy of being a sixth-grade Li Fire technique. Almost all the advantages that Li Fire can have are occupied, and it even squeezed out a mystery of healing..."
Li Jiangqian hurriedly waved his hand and replied:
"The division of Daoist lineages is ultimately there. Concealment, alchemy, and healing others are not possible at all. Although the speed of controlling fire is fast, there is also the disadvantage that Li Light is too hot and difficult to cultivate escape techniques... Everything is taking from the east and losing from the west, not complete!"
The old man nodded repeatedly, his expression quite emotional, let out a long breath, and replied: "Now that you are out of seclusion, the family affairs still need to trouble you..."
The old man took out a small wooden box from the side of the case, opened it with one hand, and inside was a thick layer of silk and satin, clearly recorded in great detail. Li Jiangqian did not know why, took it, and read it.
The young man scanned it a few times, stretched out a hand to flip through it, read to the bottom in one breath, flipped it back again, read the affairs of the Xiao Xian carefully, and laughed:
"They have the guts of a leopard."
Li Xuanxuan felt tight in his heart. Li Xixuan and others were mortals after all, and they couldn't withstand Li Jiangqian's tossing. The old man hurriedly pulled him and replied:
"These are elders after all, and many of them are virtuous and respected, and many of their children have sacrificed for the clan. The affairs in the continent naturally need to be solved, but they cannot make people too cold-hearted."
"I understand... I understand!"
Li Jiangqian held the silk and satin with one hand, and the long white silk stretched down to the ground, fluttering lightly in the wind. He looked down and laughed: "Just leave this matter to me. Trouble Uncle Zhouluo to hold the family for a few more months, so that there is less talk below."
Outside the hall.
Li Zhouluo came out of the hall, let the main hall to the two, and followed Li Chenghuai down. Only then did he remember one thing and told about Li Xizhi's letter.
Li Zhouluo was naturally extremely proud, his tone slightly excited. Li Chenghuai did not have much change in expression, waiting for the child to finish speaking, and after a long silence, he said: "He has always been very powerful."
The relationship between Father Li Chenghuai and Grandfather Li Xizhi was really not very close. Li Zhouluo hesitated slightly and said:
"Grandfather's meaning is that he hopes I will go to the South Sea before building the foundation, and he will pick a suitable Daoist companion for me... and break through in the South Sea."
Li Chenghuai nodded and replied: "That is naturally the best. Marriage is a big matter. Let him help you look at it, it is much better."
Li Zhouluo looked at his face and said in a low voice: "Grandfather also let his disciple Quan Yudan bring a letter back, but at that time Father had not come out of seclusion. He said he wanted to hand it to Father personally. He came back a year ago and is cultivating in the wilderness. I have already sent someone to invite him."
Wang Quwan and others went to the north together. There were letters back earlier, saying that they entered the underground palace and met the direct descendants of several families, but after more than half a year, the communication was broken, and even Quan Yudan could not contact the people inside.
By now, the Xiaoshi Mountain Daoist lineage in the north had spent three years without a sound. It is estimated that there is another cave heaven below. Quan Yudan, who was escorting, could not stay. I don't know if he completed the task in the sect. In the past year or two, he ran around and traveled in Jiangbei, and recently returned to the wilderness.
When Li Zhouluo said this, mentioning that Li Xizhi had left a letter for him, Li Chenghuai seemed a little anxious. He paced twice in the courtyard. The sky was just bright when he saw Quan Yudan in a large red robe rushing over under escort.
This young man had a jade crown on his head. He looked at the magic robe on his body and saw the black jade hanging on his waist. He recognized Li Chenghuai, was slightly excited, saluted before him, and said respectfully: "Greetings, Young Master! Master and Mistress have missed you very much these years and often talk about you... but they are thousands of miles apart and cannot see each other..."
Li Chenghuai helped him up awkwardly. Quan Yudan said what he had to say, and sure enough, took out a letter from his sleeve, and said softly: "This letter was written by Master himself, instructing me that it must be brought, disperse the others, and let the Young Master open it personally."
Li Chenghuai touched it and found that the letter was not thick, even very thin, but the surface was wrapped in spirit cloth. The specification was not grand. It could be seen that it was handwritten. He scanned left and right, and Li Zhouluo took people to close the hall doors tightly and went down together.
Only then did he raise his hand, untie the seal on the surface, and take out the pure white letter paper. What entered his eyes was Li Xizhi's elegant handwriting:
"Handwritten on the twentieth evening of the spring month. Father is temporarily guarding the South Sea. Everything is settled, and I am choosing a granddaughter-in-law."
"If you have the ambition to cultivate mystery and prove the Dao to seek supernatural powers, you can follow Yudan across the sea to the south. Mysterious pills, wonderful medicines, magic tools, spirit objects, treasure lands, and immortal mountains, Father will do his best to provide them all."
"If you have the heart to protect the clan and spend the rest of your life in peace, I have already asked Yudan to bring many years of Daoist scriptures, silk and satin, fine clothes and food, listening to the rain by the bridge, enough to shelter descendants, and three generations of glory will not end."
"Father Zhi wrote."
Li Chenghuai saw every word clearly, flipped the letter to the back, clearly knowing that there was not a single word, but still scanned it up and down, turning the letter in his hand over and over.
Quan Yudan did not hear an answer for a long time, waited slightly, and said in a low voice:
"Reporting to Young Master, Master has instructed me to bring Daoist scriptures, press the box with a Zifu talisman, and Foundation Establishment magic tools, spirit objects, talismans, and precious medicines are all available..."
He spat out names one after another, but Li Chenghuai was completely unaware, as if waking from a dream. He said hoarsely: "Does he have any other instructions?"
Quan Yudan heard it uneasily and only said respectfully:
"Master... Master was unable to protect himself in the past and could not take care of the Young Master. Now he wants to make up for it."
