Chapter 871: Setting the Situation

Ding Weijian heard this, his eyes turned red, and he immediately bowed down, choking with sobs:

"Weijian pays respects to the True Person... The Ding family practiced under the Tangjin Gate in the early years. Situ Chen was domineering and arrogant, repeatedly harming us. It was all thanks to Senior Situ Ku's arrangements that we were able to survive... When my parents were alive, they gave me many instructions... to remember this kindness." "It's just that he didn't know the situation, opposed the lake, and was finally caught by the Great One. Weijian could only secretly help... The True Person fulfilled my Ding family's kindness... I don't know how to repay it!"

Situ Ku, the old man, bowed along with him, his back covered in cold sweat. If you really want to talk about arrangements, it was the Ding family who used heavy gifts to bribe him. It was just that among so many families at that time, although the Ding family didn't give the most, their actions were the most honest, so they were favored by him.

These things naturally cannot be said. Situ Ku followed and thanked him timidly. The main reason Li Ximing let him go was because of Ning Wan, so he said: "No need to say more, this life is his creation. Situ family has many enemies. You watch him."

Ding Weijian nodded respectfully, got up and pulled the old man down. Situ Ku clearly didn't expect that he would still have a way to live after being in the Li family for so many years. He cried with joy and followed him down.

Li Ximing went to see Li Que Wan, saw her put away the talisman, and reported: "Report to the True Person, there is no Zifu direct lineage here... it's just that one or two female relatives are relatively close to the Zifu bloodline... the males should have been taken away or killed..."

"You arrange it."

Li Ximing casually explained to Li Jiangqian, who nodded and reminded:

"It's just... the junior looked at the cultivation method here, I fear it is incomplete. The cultivation method of the Tangjin Gate that was famous back then... is far more than one "Tianxu Zengjin Scripture""

"Hmm..."

Li Ximing nodded, looking at the pile of jade slips quietly. Although there were many cultivation methods, the quality was uneven:

"At least the 【Flame in Crow Qi】 back then is not there. This thing is not said to be famous in the world, at least it is notorious. After all, Situ Tang not only took the Tianxu Daoist lineage, but also went to the Douxuan Mountain back then. Either these monks didn't give it all, or these things were tampered with by the last generation of Tangjin Gate Master Situ Mo and put elsewhere."

Li Jiangqian bowed and said:

"Since it is the Douxuan Daoist lineage, it is reasonable for Jin Yu to take it away in advance. I fear it is also afraid that taking it all away is not reasonable, at least leaving the 【Tianxu Daoist lineage】."

Li Ximing had seen the Douxuan Daoist lineage in Senior Chang Xiao's hands, which could simply throw his own family and release cultivators several streets away. Although the power of magic techniques depends more on people and cultivation, a good magic technique cannot be underestimated.

"As for magic tools..."

The number of these Tangjin Gate magic tools and elixirs is not small, but such a declining sect, elixirs must not be comparable to the Li family having a Zifu alchemist. Fortunately, there are many magic tools. Most of them have magic power infection. Naturally, they cannot let the two refine them one by one. Li Ximing flicked his fingers, and a Mingyang light color swept over, refining the magic tools on the ground in an instant.

"Nothing more than that..."

I don't know if the powerful magic tools of the Tangjin Gate were searched once, or if they were all sold by these filial sons and grandsons of Situ Tang. Li Ximing's vision was high, and he looked at it frowning. Fortunately, there were many feather clothes, and the two best Golden Virtue feather clothes of Foundation Establishment level, Li Jiangqian and Li Minggong could not use them. One was given to Li Que Wan, and the other was received by the clan first, and bestowed according to merit.

Li Jiangqian looked through it with interest, only found a fire order, and looked carefully, it was still 'Tianwu Binghuo'. Although this Daoist lineage is shameful, it is still very useful for fighting, so he said:

"The Tangjin Gate specializes in Golden Virtue, and doesn't toss about other side doors. I see the extra ones, maybe they were snatched from some Douxuan Daoist lineage."

"Jin Yu is the True Lord Daoist lineage of Golden Virtue, practicing 'Xi Qi', Fire Virtue, and Ancient, how can there be only one way!"

Mentioning Jin Yu, Li Ximing's expression was a bit complex:

"Now this matter..."

The release cultivator claims to occupy the north, but there are only a few Dharma phases. Facing Luoxia, they are always respectful. Jin Yu's affairs are not said to be instructed by Luoxia Mountain, at least they have reported to Luoxia, and Luoxia acquiesced without doubt.

From the True Lord's matter, it can be seen that Jin Yu's Daoist lineage is actually subordinate to Luoxia, but with a True Lord, there is a certain degree of autonomy. But now that the monk's matter comes out, it is enough to see that Luoxia and Jin Yu are not harmonious at the top, and respectful at the bottom...

'It is an awkward matter. Everyone secretly thinks it is the entanglement of the Luoxia lineage, and the Sun Daoist lineage has no reason to intervene. Even if they fight with the release cultivator on weekdays, no one dares to mention Luoxia... Although the Sun Daoist lineage is noble, it is no longer the era of the Qing Song Six Sons...'

He thought that his Wei Li title could not be removed, and felt great pressure, sitting silently, but a bright light rose in the sky, so he raised his eyebrows to look.

Li Que Wan sensed the fastest, judged for a moment, and smiled:

"Jiangxia is out of retreat!"

Li Ximing turned around, looked at the bright light in the sky, and nodded:

"Explain to Jianglong... come and see. I remember you have two younger brothers, one practicing 'Li Fire'... one practicing 'Yu Zhen', how are they today?"

Li Jiangqian ordered people to invite them, and reported: "Fourth brother Jiangliang, today has become a handsome young man, but he can't stay idle... In recent years, he has learned almost all the magic techniques taught by Senior Cui. I asked him to learn skills, but he refused. He can't see his shadow day by day. He is not allowed to go north, so he goes south. Sometimes he escorts spirit objects from the market on the lake to the markets in Qingchi... He can't see anyone for three or five days."

He sighed heavily, looking very guilty:

"Fifth brother Jiangnian, on the contrary, is completely different... He has been in the cave for years and years, and has never come out once. Whenever I ask, he is in retreat, and he cannot be disturbed... It is my brother who didn't teach well, and couldn't let them calm down."

Li Ximing shook his head when he heard this, and replied:

"Cultivation and experience are all good things. In the past, there were no such conditions. Now Qingchi is still safe, so it is good to walk around."

Li Que Wan on the side said with some regret: "It's just that the two younger brothers Jianglong and Jiangxia have not been right with each other since childhood. Fortunately, neither of them will delay things, but if they want to have any closer actions... they can't see them."

Li Ximing didn't care much. After all, he was already Zifu, and his mentality of looking at things was quite different from Foundation Establishment, and he said softly:

"It doesn't matter if you are not right. The family is big and the business is big, how can it be harmonious everywhere."

Li Jiangqian bowed, and saw the bright sun shining in the sky, and a man descended.

This person was wearing armor, tall, holding a short spear in both hands, with long eyebrows and golden eyes, and a refreshing spirit between his brows. He fell into the courtyard, swept a glance, and bowed: "Jiangxia pays respects to the True Person!"

His figure was tall, although not as good as Ding Weijian, but comparable to Li Wen. Li Ximing's eyes lit up, nodded slightly, but saw someone reporting outside the courtyard, and a man wearing feather clothes entered, wearing a jade crown, with a sword on his waist. His appearance was not as outstanding as Li Jiangxia, and he bowed to Li Jiangqian and Li Que Wan, and then bowed down.

Seeing these two people coming out of retreat one after another, Li Ximing smiled: "Now there are people available."

He turned to look at Li Jiangqian:

"You have stayed in the early stage of Foundation Establishment for long enough. It just happens that two brothers are out of retreat, and I am also out of retreat to sit in the town. Put down the things in your hands, break through first, and leave the family to Jianglong and Jiangxia for the time being."

Li Jiangqian seemed to have expected it, and reported: "Follow the True Person's order."

He turned back and smiled:

"Then please two younger brothers."

Li Jiangxia took a step forward, his voice was sonorous and powerful, and he responded. Li Jianglong was much more introverted, only bowed, Li Ximing saw Li Jiangqian answer like this, and mentioned a sentence: "Jiangxia has been on the East Bank for many years and is familiar with it, so watch it first, and leave the continent to Jianglong."

Both of them couldn't see any changes, bowed and thanked them one by one. Li Ximing examined the cultivation of the two, and the foundation was very solid. Li Jiangqian whispered:

"It just happens that the two younger brothers are here, but I have news to report."

Li Jiangqian took out a letter from his sleeve, a bit heavy, and said: "True Person, please look!"

Li Ximing took it and looked at it. It was Wang Quwan's own letter.

"Wang Quwan..."

Li Ximing vaguely remembered Wang Quwan's appearance back then, and today he is also a famous cultivator in Jiangbei. He unfolded the letter and looked at it. The tone was still respectful.

This asked about the safety of the lake, and also mentioned a woman.

'Jiangbei Wang family, Wang Xiaoxiao.'

Li Jiangqian waited for him to finish reading, and pondered: "This Wang Xiaoxiao is indeed a very close bloodline of Wang Quwan. And according to my understanding, Wang Xiaoxiao is not only the Great One's person, but even brought the Great One to see Wang Quwan."

"Oh?"

"The Great One sent Wang Quwan several magic tools, which can be considered as a proposal for Wang Xiaoxiao. He accepted them all. Not only that, the time this happened was very early. Although I don't know exactly when, the letter says 【Years of communication, awe and dare not say much, dare not send letters to the lake】, it must not be a day or two."

Li Ximing put away his expression, neither happy nor angry, and responded ambiguously. He handed the letter in his hand to the two people beside him. These two sons took it and looked at it. Li Jianglong frowned, and Li Jiangxia changed color. Li Jiangqian continued:

"This is one point. When the True Lord left, I don't know who mentioned it, and temporarily divided the territory for the Wang family. The Wang He faction was almost wiped out by the True Lord... As for the most important point mentioned in the letter, someone from the Wang family accompanied the True Lord across the river to the north, but I don't know if it is true or false."

Li Jiangqian's news is certainly not as fast as Ning Wan's. Li Ximing also knew that the True Lord left after listening to Ning Wan's words. After arriving at the shore, Li Jiangqian already knew. The speed is absolutely fast. I fear that as soon as Lin Feng left, Wang Quwan sent a letter.

He put away the letter at will and asked:

"Who sent it, can there be any words left?"

Li Jiangqian said respectfully:

"It is Wang Quyu, who has already established Foundation, and retreated after sending it to the shore."

Li Ximing sat down in the courtyard, didn't say much, and replied: "The Great One has left, send a reply, saying that my family is interested in the magic sword, Wang Xiaoxiao may have seen it, let him draw all the sword pictures and send them over."

Li Jiangqian nodded repeatedly, still reminding, respectfully:

"Yes... but Wang Quwan's matter, I fear we must make preparations early."

Li Ximing naturally knew that I fear the Li Jiangqian in front of him had been on guard for a long time. He looked indifferent and asked: "How do you see it."

Li Jiangxia's expression was unhappy. His character was the most straightforward among the brothers, but also the most domineering. On weekdays, he couldn't listen to a little bit of bad, and replied coldly:

"The junior has never seen Wang Quwan, but I have heard Ding my lord's evaluation, and it is quite high. Looking at his appearance, he has no intention of staying on the lake. This is a guy who will only bow his head on the surface, and still needs to be guarded."

Li Jianglong's expression was low, and he agreed without hesitation, whispering:

"Third brother is right. Wang Quwan has never had any loyalty to my family, but he is low-key and cautious, and has to bow his head. He is not a character who will be under others. My family has never underestimated him, but he also wants face. The True Person has real kindness to him. Although my family cannot reach the Jiangbei Wang family, he will still bow his head, and sooner or later he will return to the lake."

"But he may have obtained some benefits. The benefits given by the Great One, even if he returns to the lake, it is not a good thing for my family in the future."

"According to the junior's mind, such a character will not have the heart to yield. Even if he returns to the lake, my family can suppress him and appease him, but it is only because he is Foundation Establishment. If he really breaks through Zifu, it is nothing more than a disaster... Why bother? It is nothing more than my family acting as a protective umbrella for him, cutting meat to feed the eagle, making him temporarily live under the eaves, and one day spreading his wings and soaring..."

Li Jiangqian swept his two younger brothers, his expression was respectful, his tone was flat, and he said quietly:

"Not bad. The Jiangbei Wang family has been divided for many years and is already a mess, but he is concerned about the clan. It is better to put him in Jiangbei, put him in the Jiangbei Wang family, make him toss around, suffer from invasion, flatter and run around between Duxian and Chengyun, use the bad geographical environment to torture his luck, empty his energy, make his clan chaotic, and not be of one mind, making him toss and turn day and night, unable to practice peacefully."

"And my family's kindness is still on the head, how can it be wiped out? Even if one day a phoenix is born in the fire, and a Zifu rises in that territory, seeing the True Person, he still has to respectfully call a predecessor, which is much better than practicing to Zifu in my family, having to separate, and pulling out a piece of disappointment that binds him and binds his bloodline and kindness?"

"What's more, there is a Wang Xiaoxiao, this one is not ordinary, how can it be underestimated?"

He smiled: "Wang Quwan is in my family, and the whole Jiangbei Wang family stands behind him, and the whole Jiangbei Wang family also takes him as a support, everyone is proud of him, but he establishes a clan in Jiangbei, the divided Jiangbei Wang family will be unified, that will be different, and everyone will hate him."

Li Ximing didn't say a word, staring at the Wanling flower tree in the east, his wandering eyes wandering in the sky.

Li Que Wan was standing behind Li Ximing, listening to their discussion, only feeling cold in her heart. Her apricot eyes followed Li Ximing's gaze and raised, and she lowered her head like lightning, listening to the True Person in front of her open his mouth:

"This matter is a foregone conclusion. When the Great One returns to the mountain, I have other arrangements. I must go to get the magic sword first, and cannot go to pick up Wang Xiaoxiao first. This woman will definitely fall into the hands of others, so don't think about it."
