Chapter 14: Desperate Situation

When he was young, Li Xiuyan looked forward to the affairs of the martial arts rivers and lakes, knew all kinds of rumors, and was also a treasure of the exercises that the strong were good at, and the inheritance of large and small sects.

Born as a man, he should aim in all directions, enter the martial arts rivers and lakes, cut off the injustices in the world with a sword, and win the reputation of chivalry.

Zama step, learning swordsmanship, reading ancient books, strengthening muscles and bones, the young Li Xiuyan longed for the heroism of entering the martial arts rivers and lakes, so he worked tirelessly every day and practiced diligently.

I heard that there are celebrities who travel all over the world, and the Li family in Ningzhou spent a lot of money to find an opportunity to meet, and asked for advice from celebrities, wanting to help Li Xiuyan enter the martial arts and protect the family for decades. After all, the Li family in Ningzhou admires literature and martial arts, and the literati can pursue the position of the temple, and the warrior can become the general who protects the country. What's more, Li Xiuyan has liked it very much since he was a child, and he is also the most diligent among the younger generations, if there is guidance from a master, coupled with the rich heritage of the family, he can find a treasure of heaven and earth to wash the marrow and refine the bones, compared to the Li family in Ningzhou, there will be a place for Li Xiuyan.

This famous man with a long reputation in the rivers and lakes came to the Li family in Ningzhou and became a guest, and the old lady of the Li family in Ningzhou gave up his side courtyard and made it his special residence. This celebrity saw Li Xiuyan for the first time, and he also cherished it very much, he was obsessed with martial arts at such a young age, and his family power was huge enough to support one or two, so it seems that the future must be unlimited, if he achieves something in the future, he also has a glorious face, even if it is only difficult to go further in martial arts cultivation, he can be regarded as a good fate.

After all, staying in the Li family in Ningzhou, if you don't make any effort, you can't say anything.

Waiting for the auspicious day of the zodiac, bathing clothes and burning incense, everything is ready, this famous man of the martial arts rivers and lakes has already spent his time and soul to slowly inject the aura of heaven and earth into Li Xiuyan's body, and his whole body runs for three big weeks, carefully exploring every pulse, every muscle and bone, and then shook his head suddenly, and said sympathetically to the old lady Li: "Although there is more than diligence, but congenital insufficiency, the road of martial arts has been blocked, if it is forcibly passed, otherwise it will not be eighteen years old." ”

is only eighteen years old, that is, he will not live to be eighteen years old, Li Xiuyan can be said to be lacking in talent in martial arts, and no matter how diligent he is the day after tomorrow, he will not be able to cross this gap. This famous man in the martial arts industry and lakes for a long time, has a good reputation for decades, and has never made a mistake, if it is a conclusion drawn by his exploration, it cannot be questioned by others for a moment.

However, Old Lady Li is not giving up, as the head of the family, he must take care of the family, if Li Xiuyan has the slightest chance to enter the martial arts rivers and lakes, he must not give up easily: "Even if it is the heavenly spirit and earth treasure to wash and quench the muscles and bones, is this talent still helpless?"

The celebrity glanced at Li Xiuyan with affection, and shook his head again: "No! No, not to mention that this precious medicinal material is rare, you have a lot of background and can afford it, but this washing and quenching muscles and bones, condensing the mind, and going through a lot of hardships on the way, if this child can't resist and loses his mind, this life will be regarded as an explanation, so calculated, the number of people who enter the martial arts rivers and lakes is less than one ten-thousandth." ”

The long-standing celebrity said it tactfully, but the meaning was also obvious. Li Xiuyan is limited in martial arts practice, and he can't achieve anything, if he forcibly infuses precious medicinal materials, if this medicinal power can't be controlled, Li Xiuyan is afraid that he will die for a lifetime.

Li Xiuyan has been diligent and studious since he was a child, and has won the heart of Mrs. Li, although there are many houses in the Li family in Ningzhou, Li Xiuyan, although he is not the main house, is the most likely to become the next generation of the family, so Mrs. Li still wants to fight for it: "There are many sects in this world, but there is a panacea to seek? I am willing to exchange thousands of family property, if the master knows, I will definitely do my best to get it." ”

Seeing that Old Lady Li was so persistent, this celebrity couldn't help but say sentimentally: "In this world, there must be such an elixir that turns things around, not to mention the value geometrically, I heard that the giants of the martial arts rivers and lakes such as Yungu and Taixu Palace have this treasure of the town and religion, but this is what you can provoke." In front of them, all of them were ants. Hey, there are even legendary places like Rotten Keshan, where you can't even find a place. In this way, it seems that it is still forgotten, one life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulations of yin virtue and five readings, the avenue of the world, not only one way, why do you have to insist?"

There are many legendary characters in this martial arts world, but few survived in the end.

The people who witness the legends of the martial arts rivers and lakes, they are also part of the rivers and lakes.

"That's it, that's it," Mrs. Li said weakly. It takes a lifetime of energy to gain a firm foothold in Ningzhou and accumulate a family business, so that future generations can spend their lives in glory and wealth, and gamble the luck of the entire family, which will inevitably outweigh the losses.

Although Li Xiuyan likes martial arts, he is better than everything to survive.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li thought clearly, and hugged the young Li Xiuyan tightly in distress, his hair was already gray, and he had long lost his former majesty. Stepping into the back of life, many things have begun to be indifferent.

"After your mother died, I brought you with me to grow up. As the head of the family, I must protect you for a lifetime, even if you have a grudge against me in the future, it doesn't matter, remember, you can no longer practice martial arts in the future, you can only study with peace of mind, if you enter the court in the future and help the people of the world, this Ningzhou still has the position of the Li family. Old lady Li said solemnly.

The young Li Xiuyan couldn't understand the meaning of the words, so he just nodded.

It's just that when the surrounding servants heard this, their eyes began to be indifferent, and they had already attributed the young Li Xiuyan to the ranks of the wasters, thinking that in the future, they should follow the young master of a few rooms.

And this celebrity saw that Mrs. Li was sad, and his heart softened, and he had been harassing the Li family in Ningzhou for a long time, but he was a little ashamed of this result. So he took out the hexagram tool, took the shell of the hundred-year-old turtle as a guide, lit it with snake grass, used Lingshan bloodstone as a vessel, and read words in his mouth, above the ancestral house of the Li family in Ningzhou, it was the weather where the sun was shining, and there were dark clouds at this moment. As the turtle shell lines cracked, the dense clouds dispersed, and the hexagram was revealed, the famous man of the rivers and lakes took the turtle shell and slowly said to the old lady Li: "I am nameless, from the frightened door, watching the sky, exploring the earth's veins, knowing the good fortune, measuring the good fortune, when I was entrusted by my friends, when I traveled all over the world, I passed by the Li Mansion in Ningzhou, without any exchange, just to fulfill this son, but I have a favor." ”

Old lady Li bowed heavily and was reluctant to get up for a long time.

The celebrity sighed and continued: "What is it! Today, I have explored the pulse and looked at its life, and it is expected that it has been cured for a long time, but today I am really powerless and ashamed. ”

Seeing this, Old Lady Li hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Lao is already grateful when he arrives here, and he doesn't dare to complain, the road of martial arts rivers and lakes is not passable, this son is changed, but the master should not be ashamed, delaying the cultivation of the state of mind." ”

At this time, the celebrity man's face was indifferent, and he said without anger: "I use the hundred-year-old Xuangui shell handed down by the sect to get a hexagram, which is the most ferocious hexagram, and when I meet in twenty directions, but I can't worry much, if I get through this calamity, the comparison must be a green cloud, and I will be shaking for 90,000 miles." ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, it was a mixed blessing, so she quickly made a face, Li Xiuyan immediately knelt on the ground, thanked this famous man in the rivers and lakes, and when he got up, he found that there was no figure in front of him. Only the faint sound of rattle came, and Mrs. Li said to herself: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings lurk." ”

......

The past is vivid, and tonight's Li Xiuyan suddenly thought that many years ago, someone had already predicted tonight's catastrophe, and he couldn't help but sigh how many masters there were in the world.

He was nineteen years old, not yet twenty.

Mrs. Li asked Mr. Zuo to protect Li Xiuyan secretly, and with the personal guard Zhang Wuli, he has escaped several dangers, and several times can be said to have escaped death, so Li Xiuyan gradually forgot the divination when he was young, but he never thought that when he turned twenty, this catastrophe still could not be avoided.

It is expected that Mr. Zuo will fight to repair himself, and tonight it will be a false alarm, safe and sound, but the two people who came suddenly stood there silently, without the slightest word, like two mountains that cannot be crossed.

Li Xiuyan looked back, Mr. Zuo's eyes were scarlet, and when he saw the appearance of the two uninvited guests, he picked up the open furnace flying sword again, still holding on, but his arms were still trembling; and Zhang Wuli and Jin Cheng had already been seriously injured, and it could be seen that Sen Sen's white bones had no strength, and he leaned on the carriage so that he would not fall; the other guards of the dart bureau, the doorman and others were also lying on the ground, wailing and in pain, and the female relatives who sent them to their relatives had already fainted to death, and they had already become turtles in the urn.

Li Xiuyan couldn't help but secretly think, if it was that amazing celebrity who looked away, but in fact, he was extremely talented? Then he must be diligent in learning martial arts, entering the realm of synaesthesia, and even the realm of gathering spirits. It won't end up like this tonight. But obviously, it is his own talent that is dull, and he can't blame others.

Li Xiuyan took out the wine bag and took a sip, turned around and handed it to Mr. Zuo, and Mr. Zuo stopped talking, he also drank heavily without drinking in his life, and then handed it to the people lying on the ground.

Xu is strong wine spicy throat, Mr. Zuo began to cough slightly, and the mask was also moving slightly.

"When I was in a hurry today, I was really sleepy, so I took advantage of the beautiful scenery to rest here, what do you mean by your Excellency?" Li Xiuyan held a glimmer of hope, hoping that the other party just happened to pass by, not for this thing.

The two people on the other side, one black and one white, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, are not ridiculous at night, but extremely terrifying.

At this moment, the bison col, corpses are all over the field, there are pieces of meat everywhere, and the smell of blood in the air is obviously seen to have gone through a bloody battle.

"The husband is not guilty, but Huaibi is guilty. You hand over your things, and we'll leave at once." I didn't see who was the two people on the other side who spoke, and the voice had already come.

Hearing this, Li Xiuyan and the others were already half cold-hearted, and sure enough, they still came for this thing, but Zhang Wuli and Jin Cheng and others really didn't know what it was, which was worthy of Li Xiuyan's exchange of Jingyuan Dan, and they were not willing to compromise when they were living and dying.

What is it, Li Xiuyan actually sees it as more important than life.

"The realm of these two people is much higher than mine, I am afraid that it is already the peak realm of synaesthesia, and even the realm of gathering spirits is unknown, if I had the power to fight before, it was just ...... Wait a minute, I'll find a way to hold it off, you don't look back, just run forward." Mr. Zuo whispered softly in his ear.

When Li Xiuyan heard this, he shook his head, Mr. Zuo was already in such a state that he had no power to protect himself. The so-called dragging the other party is nothing more than self-damage and fighting for a while, but in front of the martial arts masters, these are all meaningless struggles.

Li Xiuyan thought for a while, looked at the people lying on the ground, he really couldn't bear it, stepped past everyone, and took out an object from the carriage, which was contained in a black silk scarf, and inside was a sandalwood box carved with the poles of yin and yang, at first glance, it was quite ordinary.

Li Xiuyan took the sandalwood box, opened it without the slightest pause, and said to the other party: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but it is for this thing."

Everyone looked at Li Xiuyan, all of them were puzzled, and they didn't know why.

"Yes, it's Qiankun Zhu." The thin man in black on the opposite side seemed to be able to see through the black wooden box and said slowly.

"Hehe, boy, hurry up and give it to me, I will spare you from death. The fat man on the opposite side took the words, and his form was cute.

Qiankun Zhu is the non-transmission elixir of Guiyun Sect.

As a sect giant, the Guiyun Sect is famous for refining pills in the martial arts rivers and lakes, and its heritage is profound. Every Jiazi, there will be a change of heads, and as the head of the sect, the first thing to succeed to the position of the sect is to use the thousands of years of Tianhua Dibao of the sect as raw materials, and refine the Qiankun beads with the son and mother Danding made of cold ice.

Qiankun beads can wash body impurities, wash and quench muscles and bones, even if it is a dull person in martial arts, eating Qiankun beads can also be enlightened. It's just that the refining process is complicated, except for the sect master and elders of the Guiyun Sect who take it during retreat, they are the chief disciples of the Guiyun Sect, and if they don't make a major contribution, it is difficult to get, let alone flow into the world, so for martial arts practitioners, getting the Qiankun Bead is stepping into another realm of martial arts cultivation, and it is quite worthwhile to take risks for this.

When Zhang Wuli, Jin Cheng and others heard Qiankun Zhu, their eyes also lit up, but they were seriously injured at this time, and they only thought that they would be able to get out of the bison pass tonight.

For cultivators, in addition to comprehending the aura of heaven and earth on their own, they also need the support of external forces such as pills, and the combination of internal and external forces to make the path of cultivation smoother. Therefore, the Qiankun beads are self-evident to cultivators.

It was originally a precious elixir that would only be born once in a Jiazi, but for some reason, I heard that an outcast who was returned to the Cloud Sect stole it before leaving, and was chased and killed several times, and I don't know where it ended.

When Guiyunzong learned that the Qiankun Bead had been stolen, he was furious and joined forces with the temple to thoroughly investigate the matter, which took several months, and there was no eyebrow, but it caused a bloody storm in the martial arts rivers and lakes.

Mr. Zuo once said that Mrs. Li is declining day by day, seeing that in a few years, he has exhausted the family's financial resources to find precious medicinal materials, and he has returned to the sky, often passing by Mrs. Li's dormitory in the middle of the night, there is a constant coughing sound, always weak breath, obviously time is running out. If you get the Qiankun Pearl, you can make Mrs. Li look young, prolong her life, and lead the Li family in Ningzhou to shine again for decades.

It turned out that Li Xiuyan went to Qingzhou to welcome his relatives, but he also wanted to get the Qiankun Pearl, but Li Xiuyan didn't know what means to use to get the Qiankun Pearl. For some reason, the news leaked that the bison pass in this pass was chased and killed, and there were heavy casualties.

Everyone also began to understand why Li Xiuyan was unwilling to hand over this thing.

Thinking of Old Lady Li's deteriorating health, Li Xiuyan couldn't help but feel heartache, I am afraid that before he really walked to the court, Old Lady Li had already stepped into the coffin. Even though Li Xiuyan could enter the martial arts rivers and lakes after taking this thing, and become a cultivator who thinks day and night, he did not take it for himself.

The crow feeds back, and the lamb kneels to suckle, but Li Xiuyan has regrets in this life!

Seeing that Li Xiuyan was no longer speechless, Mr. Zuo said loudly: "Don't give this thing to them." Mr. Zuo has followed Mrs. Li for decades, and has long regarded himself as the Li family, although he is trembling now, he still picked up the open furnace flying sword and pointed directly at the two uninvited guests opposite.

It was probably annoying to wait, the thin man in black on the opposite side took off a pine needle next to him, and without any movement, the pine needle flew towards Li Xiuyan and the others, turning into a materialistic form, and it was really a strong person who gathered spirits, and he didn't need to cultivate his natal things to drive objects, which was the skill that only a master of gathering spirits had.

These two uninvited guests were ready to forcibly kill Li Xiuyan and the others, but they were afraid of fraud, so they used the pine needles that condensed the aura of heaven and earth to see if Li Xiuyan and the others had a hand.

Waiting for Mr. Zuo to fight to the death before, now he is testing with pine needles, hum, the master of gathering spirits has profound skills, but he is afraid of death.

Seeing the pine needles flying over, Mr. Zuo and the others didn't even have time to react, and the shape of the pine needles could be clearly seen, and the speed was too fast, so they could only be caught.

Hey, Li Xiuyan couldn't do anything, so he could only close his eyes.

At this moment, Lao Dao, who was lying in the depths of the darkness, couldn't help but be angry: "It's ridiculous to be so young." With both hands pinching the spell, a talisman flew over in the blink of an eye.
