Chapter Twenty-Four: The Undercurrent of the Li Family
In the hut, Liu Cangsheng turned his back to Shen Chen, and it was rare to be silent.
"Then why can Wu Sanduo die for you so calmly? Have you ever thought about it?" After a long time, Liu Cangsheng spoke, but his voice seemed to become a lot more tired in an instant.
"I used to be an ordinary person, only living for the people I cared about, what does it matter to me whether the survival of human beings exists, I just want to be able to protect them, and save some people easily, within the scope of my ability, it is not impossible. ”
"When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, not to mention human beings, let me work hard for all mankind, let me fight for all mankind alone, then it feels when I think about it. Liu Cangsheng seemed to be caught in his memory.
"If you don't have a small family, how can you come to everyone, the small family hasn't been taken care of, why let me take care of everyone, this is my truest thought. ”
"Who knows, I met that group of people......"
"Drafted into the army, I got acquainted with a group of soldiers who thought the same as me, they are also for a small family, at the beginning, no one thought about all mankind, but if someone says this kind of pretending, they will inevitably suffer a ridicule!"
"Who doesn't know who, for humanity? Who was so loving in the beginning!"
Liu Cangsheng continued.
Shen Chen also listened and nodded slightly.
This is the normal feeling of people, no one is so fraternal, as the saying goes, people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, people's hearts have a thousand faces, and the faces are different.
"But over time, we all became brothers, and we all became people we care about, can you understand?"
At that time, the idea was still for the people I cared about, these people, including the brothers on the battlefield. ”
"When a brother dies, we promise to take care of his family, the people we care about, and the family we care about. ”
"Two brothers died, and two more families were added, and we pooled money to pay for the pension, to take care of them, and to look forward to the early end of the war. ”
At that time, the battle was different, not only for the relatives behind us, but also for the revenge of our brothers, hatred and protection, which had long been confused.
But with dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions of brothers around me all dead, I suddenly found that their relatives have spread all over the place.
I promised to treat their loved ones as if they were my own.
I suddenly found that their relatives were all human beings......
There is a saying in the army, you may not know, for all the relatives behind you, do not take a step back!
At that time, everyone felt that this sentence was just a slogan, just, and what is behind is a loved one!
My dear relatives can't reach it in one step, and it is estimated that there are many people who think this way.
But with the change of time, the brothers around me died one by one, and the mountains and rivers behind me, all mankind, seem to have become my dearest relatives.
Their relatives that I promised are my relatives.
I...... How not to guard, how not to bow down and die?!
In the end, Liu Cangsheng became excited.
"If you have time to go to the army, you may not understand it now, but I believe that in the future...... You will understand, that is countless Wu Sanduo. ”
Shen Chen was silent, he could understand what Liu Cangsheng said.
The longer he lives, the more he carries, he lives too long, and he escapes death again and again, and what he carries has already become all mankind.
"Of course, I belong to those with low consciousness, and there are some people with high consciousness who are really fighting to protect humanity. Suddenly, Liu Cangsheng spoke again.
Shen Chen smiled, smiling brightly, and at this moment, all the mustard was gone.
"I understand, is it dangerous to go to the front line this time?" Shen Chen said.
"Don't be afraid, people who have died once, what about the crisis, I, Liu Cangsheng, prides myself on being talented and intelligent, they can't help me!" Liu Cangsheng said confidently.
Shen Chen nodded.
"Half a year, half a year without dying. Shen Chen spoke again.
"From today onwards, you are one of my Shen Chen's friends, a friend outside of cause and effect. Shen Chen said solemnly.
Liu Cangsheng was slightly stunned, and then scolded with a smile: "Old man, when you are an apprentice, you actually want to be an old man's friend?!"
"Quite my master, you are not qualified enough. Shen Chen gave him a blank look.
"Hahaha, that's it, friends are friends, half a year, I'll wait for you!" Liu Cangsheng said with a smile.
"Why don't you meet Aunt Su?" Shen Chen spoke again.
In a word, Liu Cangsheng's smile swallowed back directly.
"It's gone, it's just to add to the worries, let's go, see you at the front line in the future. Liu Cangsheng spoke, and then Qu Song actually came from outside.
He was already waiting outside the door.
"Let's go, wait for you to return your cause and effect. Shen Chen smiled and spoke.
Liu Cangsheng and Qu Song left, but Shen Chen did not stop them.
Since last night's battle, Shen Chen has understood that Liu Cangsheng's enemies are not only the Heavenly God Sect nor only the front-line demon beasts, but his enemies are probably within the human race.
He can't stop Liu Cangsheng from leaving, I'm afraid that going to the front line is not what Liu Cangsheng wants, but he has to go!
"My cultivation is too low now, half a year! In half a year, I will take you back!" Shen Chen muttered in his heart.
At this time, in the ancestral hall of the Li family in Linhai, a middle-aged man smiled coldly: "If you are not dead, you should hide honestly, and dare to jump out directly, Liu Cangsheng, you are really stupid!"
This person is dressed in a strong suit, and he looks a little similar to Li Jun, but his face is darker, not as thin as Li Jun, but full of muscles, full of strength, and that face gives people a sense of boldness and no scheming.
This is the younger brother of Li Jun, the contemporary head of the Li family, Li Mang.
"Liu Cangsheng is no longer worried, Yunshuang, this time you go to the secret realm of mountains and seas, you must teach that student named Shen Chen a lesson!" Li Mang spoke.
There were two people standing beside him, it was Li Yunshuang and Li Hao.
Li Yunshuang smiled and nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, Yunshuang knows how to do it, then Shen Chen is just practicing Qi peak cultivation, this time he entered the mountains and seas Yunshuang will enter the foundation building as soon as possible." ”
"Brother, that Shen Chen has injured Ding Chongshan on the sixth floor of the foundation!" Li Hao said, a little worried.
"You, you really think that practicing qi can be reversed to build a foundation, it was Liu Cangsheng's shot. Li Mang spoke.
"By the way, Yunshuang, take care of Hao'er in the secret realm of mountains and seas. Li Mang spoke again.
Li Yunshuang was stunned for a moment: "Hao'er is going too?"
"Hao'er's talent is not weak, if you enter the secret realm, you will enter the foundation building, then Hao'er will be the leader of the Li family's Qi training class!" Li Mang spoke.
Li Yunshuang let go of his frowning brows, and said casually: "Does my father know about this......
Seeing the sudden change in Li Mang's black face, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and immediately changed his words: "Don't worry, uncle, I will take care of my brother." ”
"Well, you don't have to have too much pressure, there are a total of thirty people in the secret realm of mountains and seas this time, and a total of ten people have entered my Li family's family, and there are eight foundation building realms that will help you, and these foundation building realms are all dispatched by Yun Shuang. Li Mang continued to speak.
Li Yunshuang nodded, but he was a little helpless in his heart, it seemed to outsiders that the Li family was thriving, and it was in the limelight in Linhai City, and it was even more difficult for the dean to raise his head in Shanhai Xiuzhen Academy, but who knew that there were some problems within the Li family.
Li Mang has a close relationship with Tianji Pavilion, so he can only be regarded as half of the Li family, since a few months ago, Li Mang suddenly returned to the family to preside over family affairs, and his father didn't know why, he really handed over everything to Li Mang to preside, ignoring his two brothers.
And Li Yunshuang knows that his younger brother Li Hao seems to have been too close to Li Mang recently.
He is a level of qi training, and it stands to reason that he should not enter the secret realm of mountains and seas.
Li Yunshuang and Li Hao, although they are brothers, they have different personalities, and Li Yunshuang doesn't look down on his younger brother in his heart.
There is no city government at all, everything is hot-headed, three minutes of heat, otherwise, with his qualifications, it is impossible to still practice Qi at the first level of cultivation now.
"Okay, Yunshuang, you go back first, I'll continue to ask your brother a few words. Li Mang opened his mouth with a pleasant face.
"Okay. ”
After replying, Li Yunshuang turned around and left.
It's just that when he walked out of the ancestral hall, his face became a little more gloomy.
"Father, what are you thinking? Why are you delegating power so much, is it because of the pressure of the Tianji ......Pavilion? What the hell are you going to do!" Li Yunshuang said secretly in his heart.
Li Mang alone is not enough evidence, he knows that Li Mang represents the Tianji Pavilion, the most mysterious organization in the entire human world.
It is all over the eight regions, but ordinary monks are not aware of his existence at all, and only some powerful monks can learn about this organization by chance.
"This time the Secret Realm of Mountains and Seas brought his younger brother, what did he want to do? And although his younger brother is gentle, he is not stupid, he has already understood the grievances between Li Hao and Shen Chen.
As a descendant of the Li family, Li Hao has absolutely no need to snatch Shen Chen's Qi Gathering Pill, if he wants, dozens or hundreds of them can be taken at his fingertips.
If it is said that in order to satisfy his perverted desire to bully others, Li Yunshuang does not believe it, Li Hao was not such a person in the past.
In the ancestral hall, the palm-sized spirit cards are scattered and placed neatly.
The light of the candle flickered.
"How is it, has it been decided?" Li Mang spoke, no longer with his previous kindness, but with a bit of stiffness.
Li Hao didn't have the slightest expression on his face, he looked a little cold, very different from his usual personality, he fiddled with the golden watch in his hand: "I want to know, what is the success rate of that secret method?
Li Mang's face was a little unsightly: "The secret method of Tianji Pavilion can't be fake, if you don't want to, say it as soon as possible!"
"My good uncle, Tianji Pavilion chose me, not you, so pay attention to your attitude!" Li Hao said coldly.
"Hmph!" Li Mang snorted coldly, but did not refute.
The world thinks that he has seized power and that he is the spokesperson of Tianji Pavilion, but in fact it is not, I am afraid that no one thought that the final choice of Tianji Pavilion was Li Hao.
Li Hao's cultivation has not made any progress over the years, not because he is not talented, nor because he is stubborn, but for a secret method.
One day into Yudan!
"But, Shen Chen, is it really okay!" Li Hao said, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
"He is the person chosen by several Yuanying elders of Tianji Pavilion, so naturally he can't be wrong. Li Mang spoke again.
"That's it, when will the secret method be cast?" asked Li Hao.
"After the secret realm of mountains and seas, Tianji Pavilion will send someone to kidnap Shen Chen, use the secret method to give birth to him to the Jiedan, and then unfold the secret method to help you take away his cultivation. Li Mang said.
It's just that the tone is a little resentful.
"Watch out for who you are, there are some things you can't snoop on. Li Hao spoke, and then turned around and left directly.
He had no respect for this uncle.
"Hehe, my good brother, my good father, I can't imagine it, my uncle is just a puppet of Tianji Pavilion, when you try your best to deal with him, it will only make me taoguang. Li Hao walked out of the ancestral hall, and a bloodthirsty red glint flashed in his eyes.
"And, Tianji Pavilion, heh, uncle, do you think you know that it's all I have!"
In the ancestral hall, watching Li Hao leave, Li Mang was silent for a long time.
"Heh, Tianji Pavilion, why are you willing to seek the near and far, is it really because I picked it up, not a member of the Li family, so I can't be in charge of the Li family?
At this moment, in the shadow of the ancestral hall, a phantom shadow slowly emerged: "Li Mang, be cautious." ”
The visitor was hidden in the shadows, only a dark shadow, and his face could not be seen clearly, like a ghost.
The words spoke, but it was an old voice.
"What the elder thinks and sees, you can't understand as a mortal, you just need to do what you are told, and don't speculate!" the black shadow spoke, his tone a little threatening and displeased.
Li Mang's face changed slightly, but there was a bit of resentment in his tone: "Lord Shadow, although I, Li Mang, am a little scheming, but after all, I am a reckless man, I just, I don't understand ......."
The person named Phantom Shadow, hearing this, was silent for a moment: "Don't worry, this Li Hao is different from you, he was born in the Li family since he was a child, and he is even more related to Li Jun, and he is only used for a while, you should understand this truth." ”
The resentment on Li Mang's body dissipated a little, but he still carried a little anger: "I know, it's just that I'm at the peak of the knot pill, and I am so shouted by this kid ......"
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, I understand you, but if your words reach the ears of the elder......" Phantom spoke.
Li Mang's face changed suddenly, and he was a little more panicked: "Lord Shadow, my loyalty to the Pavilion Elder can be seen by the sun and the moon. ”
"That's it, we've been together for so long, I don't know who you are? Just learn more to hide yourself, your temperament, in today's troubled times, is easy to suffer. The Phantom spoke.
"Follow the teachings of Lord Shadow. Li Mang lowered his head, with a little trepidation in his eyes, but there was still a trace of resentment.
"In the near future, it is appropriate to contact Li Yunshuang again, the furnace has been selected, and the meaning of the elder is that Li Yunshuang is the most suitable candidate. The Shadow continued to speak.
Li Mang nodded, with a sad face: "I naturally know about this matter, but Li Yunshuang ...... That kid's mind is like a demon, and after several contacts, I was almost caught up in his words, and I really didn't dare to contact easily. ”
The shadow was silent, and finally sighed: "I don't blame you, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't be worthy of the eyes of the elders, and Li Hao could do it." ”
"By the way, Lord Shadow, has Liu Cangsheng really left?" but ......" Li Mang stopped when he wanted to speak.
"Don't worry, it's nothing if he hides with peace of mind, now that it is so bright and bright, he will go to the front line this time, he will have to go, he will have to go, he will not help himself, and he is no longer a threat. The shadow waved his hand.
"You don't have to pay attention to Lu Ding, someone will handle this matter, your next task is to contact Li Yunshuang, and at the same time maintain the power of the Shanhai Xiuzhen Academy. The Phantom spoke.
"Yes!" Li Mang nodded.
"Okay, I'll go. The shadow finally waved his hand, and the whole person slowly dissipated into the shadows.
Standing alone in the ancestral hall.
Long...... A hint of playfulness appeared on Li Mang's face: "I have been in Tianji Pavilion for more than twenty years, staying with those old foxes every day, do you really think that I, Li Mang, am a fool who is a little cautious?"
"Li Hao is a fool, what do you believe, one day, you really believe it, even if you really control the Li family, how many days can you have?"
"Li Yunshuang, his mind is indeed like a demon, but unfortunately, it is too tender. ”
"Li Jun is just a fool, he listens to Li Wudao in everything, what opinion can that blind man have. ”
"I have to think about it, who is this news going to sell to? Is it going to be sold to Liu Cangsheng? Someone wants to use Shen Chen as the furnace?"
"No, Liu Cangsheng is afraid that it is really difficult to protect himself now, such a big move, except for Ren Zhan, he probably can't come up with anything good. ”
"Ren Zhan is a reckless man, maybe he will sell me. Li Mang calculated in his heart.
"Wan Jinghe?" Li Mang was silent.
Because of the calculations, he could only sell the news to Wan Jinghe.
But the question is, what is the relationship between Wan Jinghe and Liu Cangsheng?
Will he do something for Liu Cangsheng's apprentice?
"It's just a little Li family, do you think I, Li Mangzhi, are like this? My purpose is the elder of Tianji Pavilion!" Li Mang's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
"That's it, the commander-in-chief of the law enforcers of Linhai City, Wan Jinghe!" Li Mang's eyes flashed, and he decided.
However, Shen Chen didn't know the undercurrent of the Li family.
Because that night, in his own home, a scene that left him speechless happened.
The blind old man came that night.
I also found his house directly.
"Shen boy, the old man can't wait for tomorrow, the old man has already suppressed the power of the backlash, come and let the old man explore and explore. The blind old man smiled, revealing two big yellow teeth, and waved his hand at Shen Chen.
That look, how obscene and obscene.
Shen Chen only felt a chill.
But it's also a look of helplessness.
This blind old man is clearly incarnated.
"Senior, aren't you afraid of Wan Jinghe coming?" asked Shen Chen.
The blind old man waved his hand, with a look of disdain: "The old man is not as knowledgeable as him, a life and death, do you really think that you can kill the gods? If it weren't for the face of the same human being, the old man would have cut him a long time ago, and he is just a life and death, and he can't detect the traces of my god!" The blind old man said with a proud face.
Shen Chen was speechless, but he also knew that he was right.
Although one blow can slash the gods, after all, Wan Jinghe's true cultivation is only in the realm of life and death, and it is true that no trace of the gods can be detected.
"I'm afraid...... Unless this blind old man breaks out on his own cultivation, no one will be able to detect his traces in the entire Linhai. Shen Chen was desperate for a while.
He didn't want to be entangled by this old man, after all, he knew ...... Even if the old man shows nine questions and one question, it is impossible to trace 100,000 years!
"Boy, your little qi practice can make the old man's heart itch unbearably, don't struggle, no one will come to save you if you struggle, lie down obediently and let the old man in. Li Wudao smiled with an obscene expression.
Shen Chen only felt a churning in his stomach, if it was obviously normal, for some reason, from this old man's mouth, why was it so disgusting.
If it was a previous life, he would have kicked it in the past.
But now...... Shen Chen could only endure it, he just practiced qi cultivation.
