Chapter 912: Bolie King
The young man in red clothes and armor drove the fire and came. After waiting for a while outside the great formation, he arrived at Hanyun Peak. The plum blossoms looked somewhat withered in the dark wind and rain, while the tall True Person stood in front of the courtyard, his eyes heavy.
"Father."
Li Jiangqian bowed and asked respectfully. His golden eyes were solemn. As soon as his voice fell, another pair of golden eyes quickly turned from the dark. Li Jiangqian and he looked at each other for a moment, then looked away, only then hearing his father say: "How is it?"
Li Jiangqian bowed and replied:
"Back to father, Jiangxia has already led the people, gathered with the people of 【Muquan】 and 【Ziyan】, and camped in the wilderness. It is True Person Tinglan who came in person."
"Good."
Li Zhouwei nodded.
Now the two banks are confronting each other, and mages and monks often go south to harass, doing some forms of harassment. Li Jianglong guards the north bank, Li Jiangxia went to the wilderness, and Li Jiangqian is on the lake, each performing their duties.
But after Li Jiangqian finished speaking, he paused slightly, and then said with some hesitation:
"It is considered that I have received news from the fourth brother, in the Fourth Min County... he is rushing back."
Li Zhouwei has five sons on the surface, three of whom have succeeded in Foundation Establishment and hold important positions. The fourth son, Li Jiangliang, is also a talent, gifted, and has been taught by Cui Jueyin since childhood. Now he has reached the point where he can break through Foundation Establishment, but he often likes to travel outside and is rarely at home.
Li Zhouwei has been in retreat for many years and returned after breaking through the True Person. This child had to return to the lake. Li Zhouwei has never interfered with the choices of his sons and just let him go, not caring. But seeing Li Jiangqian's strange expression, he said:
"Speak."
Li Jiangqian lifted his robe, knelt in front of him, and said in a low voice:
"I heard that the fourth brother brought a woman back from outside, surnamed Yang... It was our lack of investigation that we didn't know for a long time until he wrote a letter himself, and then we understood. Please forgive me, father!"
Li Zhouwei narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his head:
"Which Yang?"
Li Jiangqian lowered his head and said:
"Back to father, it is the imperial descendant."
Li Zhouwei narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "Then it is no wonder you."
The Yang family is not only an imperial descendant, but also one of the few families clearly associated with the Underworld! To say that it is mutual affection is possible, but to say that it is an accidental love, Li Zhouwei does not quite believe it. He restrained his expression and nodded: "Imperial descendant is also good, naturally it is a good match."
But Li Jianglong on the side lowered his eyebrows, and Li Jiangqian bowed silently. Clearly, they were all somewhat uncomfortable.
Li Li Chenghuai left home to practice, certainly for his father's protection and the pursuit of a longer Dao path... But from another perspective, isn't this a weakening of the Li family's influence on the Yang family? Yang Xiaoer was very good to Li Xizhi, but Li Xizhi never thought of letting the Yang family's influence dye the Wangyue Lake. Many arrangements were often one stone and many birds.
Letting Li Li Chenghuai leave the lake was certainly his desire to seek the Dao, but it might not be without such considerations. Li Zhouluo has half-returned to the command of Qingchi, and it was not until Li Jiangchun was born that he relaxed a bit and had the intention of letting the children work on the lake.
But such a first-cut-and-then-played move naturally made a group of Li family high-level officials somewhat sensitive. But the status of the Underworld is too noble, and it is even the main factor why the north has not crossed the river. The Li and Yang families have always been close, so it is not easy to say much. Li Zhouwei said softly:
"After all, the north is aggressive, and the Yang family is also kind. Having such a marriage makes the two families feel closer."
After saying this, Li Jiangqian and the two laughed and agreed. Li Zhouwei put away the jade slip and secretly pondered:
*'【Bright Sky Heavenly Waves】 and 【List Mansion Heavenly Yang Escape】 are both spells that are extremely compatible with 'Visiting Heavenly Gate', and they have a taste of opportunism. The future development is not great, at least the cultivation speed is not slow, and now they are all introduced.'*
These two spells are all practiced in a matter of course. Perhaps it is because he practiced many secret methods when he was young and had a deeper understanding of Bright Yang. At the moment, he just put them away silently: *'Empty pondering is extremely time-consuming. Since they have been introduced, there will naturally be times of fighting, which is enough to experience.'*
Just as he was pondering, Li Que Wan came forward holding a jade box, bowed nearby, held it up with both hands, and said respectfully: "Reporting to the True Person, the three spiritual energies have been collected."
Li Zhouwei was slightly surprised, raised his eyebrows and said: "So fast."
For the cultivation of techniques in the future, Li Zhouwei also cast his eyes on the movement technique for the first time. The 【Daoyan Xing】 of Xuanyang Lihuo was indeed powerful, but it was not his first choice.
After all, he is different from Li Ximing. Li Ximing was recorded in 【Gufeng Yinhuo】 and has extremely strong control over various flames. I am afraid that few cultivators in the world can match this point, so cultivating 【Daoyan Xing】 is naturally much easier. And Li Zhouwei was recorded in 【Mingzhang Riyue】, and what he wants to improve in the future is the Daoist practice of the Mingyang path. The more Mingyang techniques he cultivates, the greater the benefit from the improvement of Daoist practice. If it is a Xuanyang Lihuo movement technique, it will be difficult to get this benefit at that time.
So he searched carefully in the 【Shanghuan Pavilion】 of the Sun and Moon Shining Together Heaven for a while, and searched for Mingyang movement techniques for a long time, but most of them were not satisfied. But looking at it this way, he saw the fifth-grade Qing Qi technique "Xuanhong Technique"! This technique raises Qing Qi, fosters Tai Xu when there is no leakage and no injury, heals with Qing Qi when injured, and can use Shengyang to escape with the help of Qing Qi when the body falls, which immediately made Li Zhouwei overjoyed.
He did not want to use this wonder of saving his life, but took a fancy to this method of healing with Qing Qi!
You must know that his Dharma body is outstanding, but once injured, it is much more difficult to heal. Although 【Mingzhang Riyue】 makes his life and cultivation reside in one mansion, the Dharma body can avoid many fatal injuries, but it is still very troublesome to be injured. It is absolutely different from Li Ximing taking an elixir and repairing it in less than half a year of seclusion...
And the "Xuanhong Technique" raises Qing Qi, which is a rare healing wonder that does not conflict with other paths! So he decisively pushed the movement technique back and first took the "Xuanhong Technique" to cultivate.
Qing Qi techniques often have no harsh conditions, and this technique is no exception. It is appended with several Qi-collecting formulas, using 【Small Que Qing Ling Qi】, 【Small Qianqing Qi】, and 【Xuanxu Qing Qi】, and only one portion is needed, which is exactly the three spiritual energies sent by Li Que Wan! These three kinds of Qing Qi are not difficult to collect, but only 【Small Que Qing Ling Qi】 is widely known, and the others have not been heard of. To collect from scratch, it should be counted by year. Hearing him ask, Li Que Wan hurriedly said: "The other two are similar to 【Small Que Qing Ling Qi】, coming from the same source, and the Qi-collecting method is also there. The younger generation used the change of the physical properties of the immortal foundation and spent several more portions of Small Que Qing Ling Qi to exchange, and exchanged early."
It is naturally good not to wait much. Li Zhouwei nodded in satisfaction and was about to say more, when he suddenly became somewhat vigilant and raised his head, as if he had noticed something. His figure immediately turned into light and dissipated.
Several people on both sides looked at each other and looked up at the sky together:
"Someone has crossed the river!"
Li Zhouwei took a step out and reached Tai Xu. Rolling bright light accompanied by white Qi immediately wandered out from him, turning into the shape of a Qilin beast, circling and circling. At this moment, the weapon was not in his hand, but he still stood with his hands behind his back, his voice like thunder: "Which fellow Daoist has come to visit!"
Then he saw flames born in Tai Xu, True Fire burning, like a waterfall and a river, spreading and diffusing in Tai Xu, turning into a fire domain, revealing a middle-aged man.
This person was middle-aged, with complicated clothing, snow-white upper garment, bright red robe hem, black cloak on both shoulders, majestic figure, high nose bridge, beautiful beard and thick eyebrows, extremely handsome.
The True Fire rolled and flowed in his majestic eyes. Looking from afar at this moment, Tai Xu was scorching, as if in the fire.
True Fire burned, reflected in Tai Xu, the golden-eyed man's voice was low, with a trace of doubt: "So it is King Boli!"
This person is the prince of the Gao family, a Zifu middle-stage cultivator with three True Fire divine abilities, now traveling south all the way, persuading the families to surrender, King Boli Gao Fu!
His reputation is great, his strength is strong, and he is a famous prince in the north. A long time ago, he had the reputation of beheading monsters in Yinghu and governing Qi land greatly. During the North-South dispute, the North-South forces had a gap, so he was invited to guard. True Person Qiushui and True Person Yuanxiu had to give him three points of courtesy... Li Zhouwei only looked at the True Fire and this beautiful beard and thick eyebrows, and knew it was him! "King Boli has crossed the river..."
The role of the Gao family in this event is not bad, but crossing the river like this is also a suspicious thing... Li Zhouwei could only nod slightly and said loudly:
"I don't know that King Boli has arrived, and I have lost the welcome."
This prince who drove the True Fire did not move in the fire, like a sculpture, a god statue, his eyes contained burning True Fire, but he always looked at him quietly, even somewhat confusedly.
A full breath passed, and this prince, who was famous for his majestic appearance and beautiful beard, moved his lips slightly, his expression extremely complicated. Although his voice was majestic and magnetic, it was somewhat hoarse: "This little king greets... greets... Young Master."
He did not use True Person, did not ask for the Daoist title, and did not use the title of Master of the Lake or Master of the Li family, but hesitated several times and used the word Young Master.
Li Zhouwei was slightly surprised and did not know how to respond.
Li Zhouwei is not unaware of the origin of the Gao family. The original surname of the Gao family was Lou, which was given by the Emperor of Wei, and from then on he started his family. The Gao family had always respected the Wei orthodox line in the early years, and Qi land was also in the north of Ning country at that time, helping each other and surviving.
Even in the chaotic times at the end of the Liang Dynasty, before the Prince of Yan Murong Dechang fell, the Gao family had always held the banner of respecting Wei. It was precisely because of this reason that the Gao family is often ridiculed by the families who entered the pass, and there is also a call for the compound surname Lou within the family.
Li Xuanfeng even had someone call the Gao family the dog and horse of Lou in the Great Ning Palace, but Li Zhouwei did not expect that the current King Boli could still have these few points of kindness towards him, so he could only reply: "I don't know that the Great King has arrived here, what is the matter?"
Most Hu people have deep eye sockets. Gao Fu's pair of True Fire eyes looked over, appearing extremely deep. He had calmed down a lot and said softly:
"This time it is not for public business, but just a little selfishness, to ask a question."
"Please speak."
Li Zhouwei was slightly vigilant, but saw him sigh: "This king has an aunt, surnamed Gao, named Xijiang, who has taken good care of this king since childhood. But she intended to travel the world and often played in various places. In the early years, she was in the north of the river, and later arrived in the south of the river. Now her lifespan is over, I come to pick her up, either to return to the roots, or to bury her clothes and bones in Yingqiu."
"It's just a pity that after crossing the south of the river, we don't know the way. She used a Daoist title outside, so I specifically came to ask the Master of the Lake, hoping to find one for this king."
Li Zhouwei felt strange in his heart, raised his head and said: "So it is, I don't know what the Daoist title of the elder is, I will find one for the Great King."
Gao Fu's pair of True Fire reflected eyes looked over, finally looking directly into his eyes, his voice calm: "Her Daoist title is... Jiang Huzi."
As soon as this was said, Li Zhouwei was stunned for a moment, only looking at him, his face changed several times.
Li Ximing might be unfamiliar with the name Jiang Huzi, but Li Zhouwei thought of who it was in an instant. In those years, the Mifan Sect and Wangyue Lake confronted each other, and the invasion was constant. Until Li Ximing broke through to Zifu, the cultivators of Fuyun Cave left some old, weak, sick and disabled people who were caught, and there was this Jiang Huzi! At that time, Li Ximing saw that she was from Zhao country and felt somewhat strange, but seeing that she had a clean Qi, he let her cultivate in the wilderness on the lake...
But facing Gao Fu's meaningful eyes, Li Zhouwei had a realization in an instant:
"The Gao family still has the loyalists of Wei, this old cultivator came south to see the bloodline of Wei Li... I am afraid that she just didn't dare to stand on the side of the lake, so she went the other way and lived as a guest in Fuyun Cave to observe the changes..."
It's just that Li Zhouwei still has doubts, made a surprised look, and asked:
"So Senior Jiang Huzi is an elder of the Gao family, and she hasn't said a word for so many years, my family has really offended... It's just that I have been in seclusion and breaking through for these years, and I just came back, and I don't know the situation of several loose cultivators in the wilderness, so I will ask King Boli!"
Gao Fu smiled in his eyes, nodded lightly, his voice low, and floated to Li Zhouwei's ears through his divine ability, faintly saying:
"At the age of the old man, everything is more about the will to die, how dare you."
The intention of his words is very obvious, and even somewhat too obvious, and can only be passed through the divine ability. Li Zhouwei was speechless, so he shook his head and said: "Please wait a moment, Great King."
He turned his head silently, only sent someone to pick her up, and thoughts flashed in his heart:
"Jiang Huzi has been in the wilderness for so many years, do the families know? They should not know..."
"Gao Fu made a trip in person, is it just to pick up an elder? He appeared in Tai Xu by the lake, did Tinglan notice it?"
But no matter how he pondered, the man in front of him had already dissipated the divine ability that protected his body, appearing much more approachable, but those eyes were still looking at him heavily.
Li Zhouwei re-tasted his words and suddenly felt a chill.
"Jiang Huzi's investment in Fuyun Cave should be from her own heart, but who was the one who left her to fall into the hands of the True Person that day? Jiang Huzi's Qi and blood were weak, old and sick. If she had been killed by my family at that time, how would Gao Fu handle himself? Would he still come over in a good voice?"
His golden eyes flickered slightly, and his heart sank little by little: "This King Boli in front of me... perhaps he has already seen it, someone wants Gao and Li to be at odds, but he is helpless... And my family? At such a sensitive time, the Gao family came to ask for the bones of some predecessors, and the Taiyang path is afraid that they can't laugh..."
