Chapter 5: The Red Dust of Purgatory
Chapter 5: Purgatory Red Dust
The second is that Ding Buwang, a member of the Li family's lineage, Li Chen's parents were mysteriously poisonous when they went out to practice in their early years, and they died. www.biquge.info Li Yan, the eldest brother of Li Chen, ran away from home five years ago in order to break through the family's century-old strange circle of no one to break through the congenital circle, and he has not seen the whereabouts so far. Seeing that the election of Tianjue was imminent, the second son of Li, who was eager to break through, also left a book and ran away a week ago, intending to break into the Purgatory Cliff of the forbidden land of Mount Tai, hoping for a miracle.
Purgatory Cliff is a forbidden place for the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, shrouded in boundless red mist all the year round, with the wind howling inside, the birds are forbidden, and the beasts are deterred. Countless strong people have tried to enter it, but all of them have failed and have not been able to enter the core.
But in the land of the Void, there will be odd numbers!
It is rumored that this Purgatory Cliff is related to the ancient rumored purgatory, and some people have indeed gained the opportunity to gain strength in it. But the Purgatory Cliff is really dangerous and unpredictable, so no sect has ever dared to list the Purgatory Cliff as a place of trial.
Purgatory Red Dust, Ten Deaths and No Life!
This is the consensus of the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than 3,000 years!
Therefore, the purgatory cliff of Taishan County has become a well-known taboo place, and ordinary people don't even dare to mention it, which is also the reason why Liu Er drank Wang San's words outside the land temple just now.
But there is no shortage of speculators and adventurers in the world, and it is said that there have been people who have had a great encounter in it, but they are only scratched by the scales, and they are as deep as the deep. And the trialists who died in it were even more unforgettable, and the perennial flickering white bone phosphorus fire outside the Purgatory Cliff added a lot of terrifying colors to this boundless red dust purgatory.
Seeing that the period of three generations has arrived, the Li family in Qingyuan County, which has not been born for a hundred years, has been forced into a corner. As the only surviving male in the Li family, Li Chen felt that it was his duty to protect his family's honor. But he thought that he could not be included in the top ten of the Taishan County Heavenly Absolute Election, so he had to survive to death, leave a book and leave home, intending to break into the purgatory cliff and get a chance to survive. The only descendant of the descendant went deep into the Purgatory Cliff, which caused the whole clan to be shaken, and the old lady of the Li family, who is now the actual head of the family, mobilized the whole clan overnight, asking to go deep into Mount Tai, and tried to stop Li Chen at all costs. Liu Er and Wang San didn't dare to go deep into Mount Tai, they originally wanted to wander around for a few days, and then follow the team back, but they didn't expect to meet Li Chen crookedly. Of course, the two of them would not tell Li Chen that they were deserting, but they just blindly curryed favor with Li Chen, so as not to be seen by Li Chen.
How could Li Chen have the kung fu to care about these dogskin reversals, the two of them saw that Li Chen did not have the slightest intention of pursuing the blame, and they were immediately overjoyed, and they knew everything and said everything, asking one answer and ten answers, but Li Chen learned a lot about the situation along the way.
No wonder Liu Er and Wang Sanshen found this deserted and dilapidated land temple in the middle of the night. Li Chen secretly thought to himself, the second son named Li Chen has been away from home for seven days now, but in terms of distance, I am afraid that at this moment, the second son should have broken into the so-called purgatory cliff. Whether it's good or bad, you can only ask for more blessings. However, for himself, he avoided the risk of being recognized immediately, and solved his identity problem, so he might as well be the second son for a few days with peace of mind, and it was a big deal to participate in a Tianjue election for him, which was considered the cause and effect.
With Li Chen's approval, Liu Er immediately sent a signal to assemble. The mountain temple is less than a hundred miles away from the foot of the mountain, although Li Chen has not learned the legendary light body kung fu, but there is "Houtu Xuangong" at the bottom, the breath is long, the endurance and speed are very considerable, and Liu Er and Wang San are obviously kung fu, so although the mountain road is rugged and difficult, they rushed to the bottom of the mountain before the sky brightened. At the foot of the mountain, dozens of people had already gathered, and the carriages and horses had already been prepared. Seeing Li Chen and the three of them coming over to salute, waiting for Li Chen to get into the carriage, the group immediately hurried and left.
Before Li Chen got into the car, he deliberately called Liu Er and Wang San to the car, which attracted a lot of envious eyes, and secretly said that these two guys had **** luck and were favored by the second son. Liu Er and Wang San were even more excited, looked around proudly for a while, and then bowed down into the carriage and carefully sat down under Li Chen. It's not that Li Chen is looking at these two teasers and festive, but mainly wants to learn more about the Li family and the situation of Li Chen through these two people.
Li Chen sat in the car and communicated with the two teasers, while secretly paying attention to the route he was taking. The carriage and horse soon turned onto the official road, all the way to the south, with only a short rest along the way, and so on day and night, running for a day and a night. The next day, when it was just dawn, a majestic county town appeared in front of it.
Li Chen knew that this was probably the so-called county seat of Qingyuan County. Qingyuan County was founded in 1688 in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has been nearly 2,000 years so far. The city wall is two zhang high and more than three zhang wide, full of heavy and vicissitudes of life.
At this time, the gate of the county seat had just opened, except for the merchants who came and went, there were not many ordinary people, and it was the Li family's chariot and horse team that could be seen from a distance. Although dozens of people rushed towards the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stop the investigation, and directly moved the fence to let them go. The leading knight nodded slightly to a few of the guards, and then directly whipped the horse, and rushed past, choking the faces of several soldiers on duty. Looking at the backs of Li Chen and the others in the distance, the doorman on duty held the barrel of the gun and spat viciously, ", you're a bird!" Lao Tzu sees that you can still be magical for a few days, and don't fall into the hands of Lao Tzu when the time comes! ”
The Li family's grace expires, and the descendants are thin in one room, and the only surviving male Li Chen has been trapped on the sixth layer of the foundation building period for two years, and it is no secret that he has not been able to break through for a long time. It is almost inevitable that the Li family in Qingyuan County will be cut off, if this was put in the past, even if it was cruel behind the back, it would not dare.
Not only a few doormen who said cruel things, but the entire Taishan County, especially the people in Qingyuan County who thought they could speak, all secretly stared at this piece of fat, polished their minions, and tore off a piece of meat from the Li family who was about to fall. However, now that the Li family still has a title, no one dares to act rashly for the time being.
A small stream flowing down from the southern foot of Mount Tai bypasses from the east side of the county seat, forms a small lake that is not big in the east gate ten miles away, called Liuyue Lake, the small lake is planted with weeping willows all around, the periphery is ten miles of peach forest, the scenery is pleasant, and it is close to the thoroughfare road leading to the county seat, so the big families in Qingyuan County mostly live nearby. The ancestral house of the Li family is located on the shore of Liuyue Lake, with a large mansion and a large gate.
Although it was still early, the door had already opened. An old man with a callow head looked at the door. Although his body is thin and his eyes are a little cloudy, he looks like his body is quite tough, probably because he has been in the top position for a long time, standing at the door with a rattan cane, quite dignified, according to the information provided by Liu Er and Wang San, Li Chen knows that this is most likely the veteran housekeeper Liu Fu who has served the head of the family for three generations.
Sure enough, when they saw the old man, the group dismounted one after another, "I've seen Liu Lao!" ”
The old man nodded slightly, "Everyone, work hard, go wash and eat first." The old lady has a life, and this month's salary is twenty taels more per person. Liu Er, Wang San, each of them will be rewarded with another 100 taels, and 10 acres of Shangtian. ”
"Mrs. Xie rewards, thank you Liu Lao!"
Everyone couldn't help but smile, this time overnight, although it was hard, but there was no danger, they and others did not enter the depths of Mount Tai, just ran around, and took an extra twenty taels of silver, which is equivalent to receiving two more months of monthly salary. Everyone looked at Liu Er and Wang San's eyes and was full of envy, this **** luck is so accurate! Liu Er and Wang San, who were waiting for Li Chen behind, were also overjoyed when they heard it behind, but they didn't expect to reward ten acres of Shangtian this time, which is a constant property that can be passed on to their descendants.
Seeing Li Chen get down from the carriage, the old man took two steps and bowed slightly, "The old slave has seen the second son!" ”
Seeing the old man saluting himself at such a young age, he couldn't help but subconsciously help, "I'm tired of waiting here, it's hard work!" ”
"That's what an old slave should do." Liu Fu got up, "Second son, the old lady has not slept all night, and she is waiting for you at the ancestral shrine at this time." Instructed that after you come back, let the old slave take you directly to the ancestral shrine to see her. ”
"Ancestral Temple?" Li Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, and there were some doubts in his heart. After running away from home, it makes sense to come back to see your grandmother, but why should you choose to be at the ancestral shrine?
"Alas, it's all to blame the old slave for talking too much, nagging about those old things to the son, so that the son can't have thoughts that he shouldn't have, and almost made a big mistake. Liu Fu led the way in front of him while babbling. This time, the old lady is afraid that she is really angry, and she wants to ask for family law. Childe, after you meet the old lady, remember not to use the old temperament again, so as not to annoy the old lady. Alas, I'm old, my brain is confused, and I don't have a door. Liu Fu muttered as he walked in front to lead the way. Not to mention, don't look at Liu Fu's age, he still has a rattan cane in his hand, but his feet are not slow, and he soon took Li Chen through several courtyards and came to the gate of the ancestral shrine.
Turned around and stopped, "The old lady is waiting inside, and the old slave is guarding outside, you should go in first to meet the lady." Li Chen nodded and walked in.
The yard is quite large, the bluestone pavement, and the two sides are planted with green pines and cypresses, solemn and solemn. Li Chen took a deep breath and calmed down. I'm about to see the supreme ruler of the Li family, and I don't know what the situation will be. But if you come, you will be safe, let's take a look at the situation first, this year's experience has greatly exercised Li Chen's temperament, and he is no longer the impetuous young man he just graduated.
