Chapter 4: Parting

Chapter 4 Departure

The thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a luxurious banquet venue, inside is resplendent with jade cases, and everyone present eats separately. Ten-year-old Li Changding was dressed in a gorgeous ancient dress, sat alone in front of a jade table, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, the taste was sweet, it was a drink made from precious fruits, non-alcoholic, imperial law, he was not old enough to drink.

Calm your mind and savor the taste of the drink, which is sweet and delicious, sweet and sour, and it is really a rare wine.

Holding a jade chopstick, take a few bites of dishes, savor it, listen to the music of silk and bamboo in the hall, and enjoy the singing and dancing performances in the hall.

A group of young and beautiful dancers, graceful and graceful, dressed in gorgeous and seductive green dresses, danced to the music. In the middle, a young beauty in a red neon feather dress, fifteen or sixteen years old, looks charming and moving, her eyes are spring-like, and she sings and dances. The other green-clad dancers surrounded her like a moon and a moon, like a thousand greens and a little red from them.

Li Changding has a chic attitude and a calm demeanor. Of course, at his age, making such a calm and chic gesture looks a little funny, and it is even more kind of alternative cuteness.

"Changding, why do you have one person at one table?" A beautiful girl smiled sweetly and said to Li Changding in a gentle tone. Here, all children under the age of twelve are at the same table with their parents, except for Li Changding.

"Hey." Li Changding sighed exaggeratedly, "My parents thought I was in the way, so they drove me here." Cousin, why do you say that? "The beautiful girl who spoke was named Li Yulan, and she was a cousin of Li Changding. In other words, he has many cousins, at least more than a dozen, and this one is the closest to him.

"Ha, you must be too naughty! Disturb your parents' romance. A lively and lovely girl came over and said, this is also a cousin of Li Changding.

"Romantic? Is it romantic in front of so many people? Like them? Li Changding pointed to a table opposite, where there was a man and a woman, the man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, and they were all young people of only about twenty. That's a cousin of Li Changding again, and the man is naturally her boyfriend. will bring him here, which means that the relationship between the two is already very close, and it should have reached the level of talking about marriage.

The Li family is a big family, and it has a long history, it is said that it has existed since the time of Tang Taizu, there have been ups and downs for more than a thousand years, until the current dynasty has reached its peak, one of the founding heroes, with the title of duke, hereditary replacement. After the constitutional monarchy, the aristocracy gradually declined, and the heads of the families at that time turned to business, and for several generations they had huge assets and were in the first echelon.

Li Changding was quite surprised when he knew this, recalling the original novel, the protagonist Fang Xin's main backer in the main world, the Xiao family, was only a viscount, a hereditary Viscount Junshan, and the assets were only the third tier of the empire, and later he got half of the foreign nobleman's property before he began to move towards the second stage.

In other words, his family is several times richer than the Xiao family, although it doesn't make much sense, but Li Changding is still a little proud in his heart, hehe.

When the family is older, there are naturally more people, and the people who come to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today are all relatives within five suits, about nearly a hundred. There should be several batches of this.

The first is Li Changding, the youngest juniors, who are in the outermost periphery.

The second is Li Changding's parents' generation, who sat in it with children who were not yet independent.

The third is Li Changding's grandparents' generation, they are sitting next to the fourth and last batch, that is, Li Changding's grandfather's generation is sitting.

And Li Changding's great-grandfather's generation, they sit at the top. Although they have basically ignored the world and are in a state of seclusion, they are the highest in terms of generation and prestige.

Yes, Li Changding's great-grandfathers are still alive and well.

In fact, when he looked at Humane Heaven in his previous life, Li Changding had a doubt in his heart, where did Xiao Bing's grandparents go? According to the scientific and technological level and living environment of the empire at this time, it is no problem for ordinary people to live to be seventy or eighty years old. What's more, with the strength of the Xiao family, Xiao Bing's grandmother is at least a fourth-order peak, and there is a high probability that she is a fifth-order.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Bing's grandmother has no problem living to be ten years old, so she should be able to appear in the novel. Of course, this is just a normal situation, and there may be some accidents that caused Xiao Bing's grandmother to be absent early.

However, Xiao Bing's grandparents are not even mentioned in the novel, as if there has never been such a person, which is a bit strange.

In his previous life, he read novels and didn't care about it, but now that he lives in the world, he can't help but be curious about this phenomenon.

Li Changding ate and drank with his relatives and friends, watched singing and dancing and chatted about some gossip, and the banquet passed like this. It seems that the people of the clan do not communicate much, because few people get up and go to other tables to toast with people, and it is rude to do so in this kind of banquet.

In fact, the banquet is just a summary, and the real communication began as early as three days ago. There were various activities in the past three days, so that the people of the Li family could get acquainted with each other during the activities, and this banquet was actually equivalent to the closing ceremony.

At the end of the banquet, everyone said goodbye and left. When Li Changding saw his parents and grandparents, he found that their faces were a little different, and he asked strangely.

"Your grandfather is leaving." Li Yunqi said, he who has cultivated to the fifth order, has a majestic body, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, is wearing gorgeous clothes, wide robes and large sleeves, and has an extraordinary bearing.

At fifty years old, he looks no more than thirty, which is the most attractive age for men.

"Going? How so? I think it's not a problem to live for decades in good health? ”

"Stinky boy! Who told you that your grandfather is going to die! Li Yunqi shouted angrily.

Li Changding hurriedly hid behind his grandmother Luo Xianyun, grabbed her white floral skirt with her white and tender little hands, revealed a small head, wrinkled his nose, and snorted lightly: "You said it yourself!" Grandpa is leaving. Could it be that he was going to shatter the void? ”

"Yes, he's going to shatter the void."

"What? How so? He's not a fifth-order! "The fifth order is the broken void, and you can leave this world physically, except for the fifth order, everyone else can only leave this world with the Yin God.

"Hah! The little bunny dares to look down on me! With a loud shout, an old man in a fancy costume walked slowly, with a childish face and a strong spirit, and a sense of determination soared into the sky.

"Grandpa, are you going to abandon all the Yin Gods and die?" When Li Changding read the novel in his previous life, Xiao Hongqin, a character in it, said that there are many cracks in time and space now, and as long as he is willing to abandon everything, the Yin God can pass away.

"Hahaha! Do you think I will? The old man said with a smile.

Li Changding looked at the old man seriously, and then shook his head, "Grandpa, although you are competitive, and you are unwilling not to step into the fifth order and lose to your son, but you are not such an irrational person, and you will not do irrational things just for the sake of competitiveness." ”

Everyone in the Li family has a competitive spirit, and this is especially obvious in Li Changding's grandfather and great-grandfather, but his father Li Qingyu is gentle and elegant, more like his grandmother.

"Yes, I won't. I'm just going to shut up, and I'm not going to come out if I succeed or fail. If I fail, I will naturally die in it, and if I succeed, I will leave this world directly. ”

"Retreat? In order to reach the fifth order? You don't have to be like this to reach the fifth order, you can use merit. ”

"With merit? Can merit still be advanced? ”

Of course not. At least not in the Overworld, at this time. Before Fang Xin reached the Ninth Order Meritorious Path, merit could only be directly manifested in a world similar to the Immortal Dao. Of course, Li Changding would not say this. According to his plan, let his grandfather earn more merit first, and wait until Fang Xin has made meritorious deeds, and then it will be much easier to advance.

"I forgot what I read in that book, it seems to say so anyway." Li Changding said vaguely.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. For it is not my word. Only now do I know what I want, so that I can let go of everything in this world to pursue my own goals, my own way! Don't worry, I'll make it. Then he turned and left.

Looking at the distant back of his grandfather, Li Changdingling saw in his eyes that the luck on his body gradually changed, from purple to blue, but it was much quieter and purer, as if it had changed from smoke to spring water, as clear as promised.

Pure green luck is surrounded by a golden light of merit, brilliant and brilliant. And the most striking thing is that the sword qi on his body, sharp and sharp, outside the body, condensed into a column, gradually purified as he went away, purified with every step, until the moment his figure disappeared, the sword qi was like a pillar of heaven, straight into the sky, as if to pierce the sky.

Li Changding didn't know if Grandpa Tai could succeed, but he was indeed getting closer and closer to the fifth order.
