Chapter 11 After the New Rain in the Empty Mountain
A clear rain washes away the lead.
But what cannot be washed away is the dirt in the human heart.
Li Xuanhuang knelt with a move, and the afterglow had already dispersed, but it still tugged at everyone's heartstrings. Most of the people who are physically exhausted and have no internal strength have already fainted on the ground!
At this time, although Li Lao Er had already gotten up, in the eyes of many people, the once powerful Li family master in charge of law would never be able to straighten up that old body.
There are talented people in the country, and it is also the case in the small Li Jiabao, which is the case throughout the ages, and it is an indisputable fact that the strong are respected.
It's just that from the ancient times when Ru Mao drank blood, to today's prosperous era of Kyushu, there are more so-called royal families, tyrants, and magnates.
It has really changed a lot of "rules of the game", and even a mud with no hands and no city ravines, as long as his back is against the towering tree, he can weigh a pound or two in this world.
The rules of the game have become more complicated in this way, so that the Confucian sages have to set bigger rules, say greater truths, to "frame" to "restrict" the big winners in these games, but step by step, these rules, the truth seems to have long been away from the smoke, aimed at the temple.
Just like in Lijiabao, the strong are respected.
But more importantly, the elders are respected.
Otherwise, the ancestral hall of the Li family behind the ancestral hall is a big joke.
So, let you be a monk of the Seven Realms and the Eight Realms.
As long as you are still surnamed Li for a day.
Then you have to obey the rites of the Patriarch Hall on this day!
There are many people who are not accustomed to the way of this world,
Young people who are not used to seeing this world, more!
There are many children from poor families who are not used to seeing this world!
But these intertwined forces, as well as those rules that are crumbling on the surface but actually shelter them from the wind and rain.
It's not that the floating dust in the sky, a spring rain can wash it away!
Therefore, after the new rain in the empty mountain, it can be dusty
And the mountains are all over the field, all are trees, the new rain can only be light rain, light rain is difficult to hang the leaf tips!
At this time, Li Mo, who was supporting Li Laoliu, was such a young man, although he was in Qingfeng's place, laughing and playing, and he kept saying that he was unwilling to leave Li Jiabao, but he was nearly twenty years old, and naturally had his own views on this world, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he Li Mo would not hesitate to borrow a flat shoulder from this world to pick one.
Is the bullshit truth in this world heavier, or is his Li Mo's unreasonable fist heavier?
Li Zhi, who was still kneeling in front of Li Laoliu, lowered his head, feeling greatly humiliated, even if he was able to get up, he still didn't move, as if he was disheartened.
Since he was a child, he was called a genius of cultivation, and he was a little successful at a young age.
But at this moment, Li Zhi really knew that he was not a so-called bullshit genius at all, but just an "embroidered pillow" touted by the people around him day and night.
What's more, the sword intent remained at the tip of his heart, so that Li Zhi could clearly feel that the gap between himself and him had already crossed the boundaries of time and age, and it was a state of mind that Li Zhi seemed to be unable to touch in his life.
It's like, you can see the bright moon in the sky, you think you can touch the bright moon by climbing a Zhongnan Mountain, but you never thought that when you go to the top of the mountain, you find that this is not the case at all. You still can't touch the moon, and when you see a person ascending to the sky, you realize that the moon is so far away, it turns out that climbing the mountain can't solve the problem at all!
This directly led to Li Zhi's mental nature, which has gradually gone to the other extreme: since he can't cultivate like Ninth Grandpa in his life, what is the point of cultivation?
What's more, there are nine realms above the eight realms, and tonight's grand wish that resounded through the heavens and the earth, as long as Li Zhi is not deaf, he can still hear it!
The young Li Zhi's future of cultivation was cut off by Li Xuanhuang like this, and he couldn't raise any spirit.
"Li Zhi, come with me!" Of course, Li Lao Er knew at a glance what his grandson was thinking and feeling, so he called him up.
Many servants and subordinates around were watching the two leave, but they saw Li Lao Er looking back, and Li Lao Wu, who had arrived before, straightened up his red rooster comb and coughed twice! Everyone lowered their heads in unison, not daring to look at the two, even Li Lao Liu and Li Mo's sisters and brothers also lowered their heads.
From tonight onwards, I am afraid that no one will respect the second master of the Li family so much as before, and if he bows his head today, he will only bow his head to the name of the elder of the palm law, not to the second master of the Li family! Don't look at the same bow, how many miles of difference is there between the two?
Even if he licks a dog like Li Lao Wu, he has such a heart. Otherwise, there is no need for Li Lao Er to turn around and remind everyone to put away those, and look straight like a sword, Li Lao Bao Wu only noticed that something was wrong! Because even he didn't notice the subtle change in his attitude.
It's all because of a sword immortal kneeling!
In the final analysis, being able to sit in the position of the elder of the law for twenty or thirty years proves that he has the uniqueness of being a person.
So he naturally knows the subtle change in everyone's attitude at the moment, but he has lived for more than 70 years, and he doesn't care about these so-called superficial skills, all he worries about is what kind of cause and effect will be buried in his grandson's heart with that sharp eyes. After all, Li Zhi's state of mind like walking on thin ice can't withstand the slightest accident.
However, as long as he is still the elder of this palm, these people will not be able to make big waves for a while! As long as he can survive until his grandson passes the Beijing examination and enters the four gates of the capital, it will be worth it! And how to restore Li Zhi's state of mind is an urgent matter at the moment.
Li Lao Er couldn't help but look up at the sky, tonight Li Lao Er dared to fight Li Lao Jiu's sword and also have the confidence to make a move on Lao Liu, the person who had promised to appear in this sky.
What Li Lao Er didn't know was that at this time, the person looked up at the sky just like him, but unfortunately, that person was blind and couldn't see anything.
Li Zhi followed behind Li Lao Er, lost his soul and was depressed, in fact, his cultivation heart was hit like never before?
There is also a backer who once made him feel fearless, but now he is the only idol on his cultivation path, and he has been slashed to the dust with a sword!
There is also his only idol, who completely stands on the opposite side of himself! That move of the immortal kneeling not only shrouded his grandfather, but also shrouded him, a younger generation!
No matter how young he is, Li Zhi will not know that in fact, Li Xuanhuang has never been prejudiced against all Li Jiabao's descendants, whether they are good or evil, and they have a long road in life, how can they be determined by a momentary choice? The reason why Li Xuanhuang knelt down and brought Li Zhi with him was to let him stop his sneak attack on Li Lao Liu, and more importantly, to let him know that he was walking on a wrong path, if he woke up, the sword qi that the immortal knelt on Li Zhi's heartstrings would feed back to Li Zhi and benefit him greatly.
Walking to the hall of the second gate, through the hall, is Li Lao Er's usual reading and writing never guest the study, Li Lao Er came to the side of the left shelf, gently pulled out a copy of "Zhou Yuan Gong Ji", and then put it into a gap in the right shelf.
Just listen to the sound of a projectile shattering, and the bookshelves on both sides open and close like doors, revealing the inside!
It is a secret room with walls on all sides.
Li Zhi followed his grandfather into the secret room.
"Li Zhi, do you want to take advantage of tonight to get rid of the sixth child and Li Mo?"
"Yes. ”
Li Zhi lost the grace of gently shaking the folding fan, and lowered his head at this time, losing his color.
"Not only did you rebel against that kid of Fang Cai, did you also calculate it along with your grandfather?"
"Hmm. Li Zhi buried his head lower, just afraid that his grandfather would slap him down and silently dispose of his useless rice bucket grandson in this dim secret room.
"Let's not talk about it, how did you calculate me, first tell me how you made Fang Cai willing to work for you?"
Sun Er only asked him if he wanted to be a member of the Li family or a member of the Fang family. ”
"That's right, you asked him to steal the Divine Refining Pill and give it to you, and then take advantage of the chaos to hand over the Divine Refining Pill to the descendants of the six sects of the Li family who had already been bought by you, and finally blame Li Mo. Luckily, with physical evidence, let that subordinate and Fang Cai come out to testify that Li Mo behaved strangely, and when the physical evidence is complete, and then deduct a motive for Li Mo to hope for martial arts double cultivation, then even if he Li Mo has a thousand words, he is speechless. ”
Li Zhi nodded lightly, it was indeed as his grandfather said.
"But you did a lot of calculations, but you didn't count Li Qian, just outside the Danfang, waiting for the rabbit. ”
"Hmm. Even if she waits for the rabbit, her grandson will have another way to deal with it!"
"But after all, it's not the best policy, you have to kill Fang Cai, and Fang Cai is actually a chess piece that is quite useful to you, after all, he is a Three Realms monk, and once this matter is over, even if he can fly away, but as long as you have the handle of stealing the pill in your hand, then he will inevitably be afraid of the revenge of the Six Gates and the Nine Gates, and obey you. ”
"Yes, the grandson is also a last resort. ”
"You had to kill Fang Cai, and a thief came and shouted to catch the thief. Call everyone and blame Li Mo directly, although this seems a little pale, but you have actually calculated, as long as you take a lead and provoke the sixth to act first, then your grandfather and I will definitely not sit idly by! On the contrary, we will take the opportunity to eradicate the six gates together!"
"Grandson, I still know that Grandpa Nine will definitely make a move, but Grandchild still knows..."
"What else do you know?"
"Grandpa also knows that grandpa must be waiting for someone tonight!"
After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Lao Er did not continue to question his grandson for the first time. Instead, he was silent for a long time! He said, "Grandpa, since you were a child, you have been taught Go and academic arithmetic, and I hope that one day, even if you fail to embark on the path of cultivation, you will be able to protect yourself. But the computing power is extremely poor, and so is grandpa, but thousands of calculations can be calculated, and people are not as good as heaven after all, and I can't wait for that person!"
Li Lao Er won't know where he lost to the sky, he just lost to the prime minister who stood at the top of the entire Tianshui Dynasty's chess path!
"Grandpa used to practice, but he didn't do his best, and he was more distracted by the arithmetic of power, and he always felt that practicing and practicing was just cultivating the softness and hardness of his fists. As long as you don't cultivate to the Nine Realms, it won't have much impact on the world. No matter how hard your fists are, no matter how strong your internal strength is, you can only kill and kill the people in front of you. So from the beginning of knowing that it would be impossible for grandpa to cultivate to the Nine Realms in his life, he thought about how to use his ability to influence some people and things, and finally his greatest wish was to influence the entire Li Jiabao, so that this influence could spread for ten or twenty generations, written into the clan rules, and engraved into the blood of the clansmen, and grandpa would not be in vain. But Grandpa was really awakened by Lao Jiuyi's sword tonight and woke up half a hundred yellow sorghum dreams! One force will drop ten times, and one force will drop ten times! So you must go to Beijing to try! Go to Beijing Simen! Learn the most powerful moves in the world, and become the strongest monk in the world! Regardless of his bullshit for thousands of generations! If you can't even step forward with what is in front of you, everything is just floating clouds!"
"Grandpa, what my grandson did today is to get rid of Li Mo's sister and brother, and finally get the only Beijing test place in Li Jiabao!"
"I know. Saying that, Li Lao Er took out a gold leaf from his sleeve. As soon as this thing came out, Li Zhi's originally dull eyes were rejuvenated, and this was what he needed to enter the Beijing test that he dreamed of.
"Although the people I waited for didn't wait, this leaf is really something left, and this is a Beijing test place. After speaking, he handed it to Li Zhi.
"Life is long, don't measure it by the gains and losses of the moment, look at it from afar, grandpa feels that tonight's Li Zhi is quite like the Li family's second family style, and it doesn't hurt to make mistakes, but if you know how to calculate, you will enter the door, and the future will be all about the word experience. Right and wrong in the world lies in whether you can go to the extreme! What grandpa has not done in this life, I hope you can do better than grandpa!"
What Li Lao Er didn't say thoroughly was that tonight, although he lost the face that had been posted for decades because of the breach of the contract by his father-in-law, as long as he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and the power was still there, the green mountains were always there, and the green water flowed forever. And he also took this opportunity to see clearly the strengths and weaknesses of his grandson, which is not a loss. In the end, the grandson's state of mind like walking on thin ice was also praised by him step by step, and a gold leaf at the bottom of the last was temporarily patched up.
Although you want to touch the moon, get the sword, and control the sky, you can also sit on the beast and carry it to the sky. It is necessary for the grandson to find a feasible path first, instead of feeling that the path is broken and there is no hope for cultivation. This is the reason why Li Lao Er wants to have a secret conversation with Li Zhi tonight, Li Zhi's calculations, how can Li Lao Er not know at all, but what he wants is for Li Zhi to say it himself, and he will recognize it personally, people's hearts are unpredictable, but he doesn't hit the smiling person, and it is always right to be kind and seductive.
But Li Zhi didn't know that all this was because Qingfeng asked Li Qian to wait for the rabbit, which disrupted Li Zhi's overall plan, and brought out Li Laojiu, so that Li Laojiu then broke Li Zhi's heart with a sword.
As for the subsequent Li Lao Er, he did not wait for reinforcements, but let his organs calculate too smartly, which mistook Qingqing's prestige. It can only be said that Qingfeng gambled a little better.
Late at night, at the outer gate of Lijiabao, there was a sloppy man, lying on the eaves, peeping at the woman next door to get up at night. The wind rose from the wall, and the man failed to hold it steady and fell to the ground.
At this time, Qingfeng was sitting on a large square stone in the courtyard, throwing the stones in his hand into the water one by one, and smashing out large circles and small circles that intersected with each other.
Not far from him, there was a colony of ants carrying food. Qingfeng turned to throw stones in front of the nest of ants, just blocking the way of the ants, so the ants went around the mountain, Qingfeng lost it again, the ants went around, Qingfeng threw it again, and the ants went around again.
Going around and around, the ants came to the feet of Qing Feng, who picked up the "food" they carried, but it was a refining pill.
