Chapter 3 Intra-clan Competition
Fangcheng, Li Mansion
The carriage slowly stopped, and Li Cheng looked at the family he hadn't seen for five years, and he was also a little excited in his heart.
Knock knock
"Open the door."
Li Kui strode forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
A lazy voice came from inside, the door slowly opened, a little guy stretched out his head to look, and quickly opened the door, and said with a flattering smile.
"Second Young Master, Third Young Master"
"How about the second brother, don't you miss it very much if you haven't returned for a long time, don't you know that your mother and father miss you very much." Li Chun walked over and hooked Li Cheng's shoulder and smiled.
"Hmm."
Li Cheng ordered the people to rest first, and he and Li Chun went to greet their father and mother first.
Inside the study
Li Qianfeng looked at Li Cheng and nodded with satisfaction, his three sons, the eldest has a high talent in martial arts, the second is shrewd, and the third has been mature and stable since he was a child.
"Come back, do you have any complaints about your father letting you go to the mine for five years?"
Li Cheng shook his head and took a sip of tea and chuckled: "Dad, our Li family originally started from the mine, and the business in the clan is mainly based on blacksmith shops and selling ores. ”
Li Shaofeng smiled with satisfaction and sighed.
"Cheng'er, my father is getting older, and his health is getting worse and worse, I'm afraid how many days can I live, when my father was young, he walked the rivers and lakes, leaving a lot of dark diseases, if he could still be forcibly suppressed with his blood a few years ago. But now. ”
Li Cheng looked at Li Qianfeng's old face, his gray hair was also sour at the tip of his nose, and he was arrogant when he came to this world, Li Qianfeng's care for him was meticulous, so that he had recognized this father from the bottom of his heart.
"Dad, don't worry, when the eldest brother comes back, I'm afraid that the elders will also be afraid of three points, and the child also has some opportunities, the position of the head of the family, the child is bound to win."
A glimmer of light flashed in Li Cheng's eyes, and he was confident.
Now Li Cheng's strength is not what it used to be, if Li Cheng wants to use points to improve his strength.
Li Qianfeng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care, but just took Li Cheng's words of relief and waved his hand.
"Let's go see your mother, she has been clamoring to see you, but ah, Dad's body, your mother can't rest assured."
Li Qianfeng is seventy-six years old this year, and he is mortal before he is born, and his longevity is higher than that of ordinary people, but it is not much higher, even if he cultivates health preservation exercises, he will not live for two jiazi.
People in this world can generally live for one jiazi, that is, 60 years old, and ordinary people can live past 50 years old.
Li Qianfeng's peak period was the fourth day after tomorrow, and he only met Li Cheng's mother Zhang Ziyi in his nearly forty years, and gave birth to the eldest Li Tiangang at the age of forty-five.
"Yes, dad and boy, let's go, see my mother."
Li Cheng got up and saluted, and wanted to turn around and walk out the door.
An old woman walked into the study with the support of several maids, and said with some resentment: "Okay, you Li Cheng, you don't come back to see your mother first, but you look at your father." ”
Although he said that, Zhang Ziyi walked quickly to Li Cheng's side and looked up and down, his eyes were full of joy.
"Mother" Li Cheng called softly.
"Oh, look at the past few years by your rough old man sent to the mine, this person has lost weight, has he not eaten well." Zhang Ziyi grabbed Li Cheng and kept muttering.
After a long time, Zhang Ziyi let go of Li Cheng.
Li Cheng chatted with Zhang Ziyi for a while, and then went to visit the third elder, and the fifth elder returned to his room to rest.
It will take a few days for the children of the clan to gather, so the head of the clan will be set for the 15th later.
During this period, because of Li Tiangang's return, the entire Li family was very calm, and no one in the Great Elder lineage came out to stir up trouble, and the young martial artist of the Three Realms of the Acquired World Tomorrow had an unlimited future, so the Great Elder did not think about offending Li Cheng and others, but Li Tiangang, the position of the family, made it clear that he would not interfere, which also made Li Qianfeng a little distressed.
In the evening hall, Li Qianfeng planned to wash the dust for Li Tiangang and take a good look at this eldest son who had not met for a long time.
Li Tiangang was dressed in a white robe, his face was handsome and cold like a snow lotus, and his eyes were deep and bright.
"Big brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I toast you."
Li Cheng stood up and said to Li Tiangang with a wine glass.
"Thanks, third brother"
Li Tiangang also stood up, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Okay, big brother, happy."
Li Cheng also drank the whole glass of wine.
The subordinate behind him hurriedly stepped forward and filled another glass.
"Big brother, I also toast you."
Li Chun picked up his wine glass and smiled.
"Thanks, second brother."
After three rounds of drinking, the family acted like an ordinary family, and kept nagging about the shortcomings of the parents, and no one mentioned anything else.
.........
Fifteen days later
The Li Family Chamber.
Li Qianfeng sat at the top, sitting on both sides, and the youngest of the five old men was sixty years old.
The juniors and others stood behind their respective elders, and because of Li Tiangang's speciality, they sat at the end, and Li Cheng and Li Chun stood behind them.
"Ahem, since the younger generation has gathered, Qianfeng, let's start."
The Great Elder coughed dryly and looked at Li Qianfeng and said leisurely.
Li Qianfeng glanced at the Great Elder and said lightly, "Let's start." ”
The competition method of the intra-clan competition is the ring system, each person has a chance to challenge, if the challenged party does not dare to go to the ring, it will be regarded as abstaining.
The first to take the stage was Li Sui, the youngest son of the four elders, who was Chinese New Year's Eve eight today, tall and thin, with a gloomy expression.
Li Sui stood in the ring and looked at Li Cheng and the others and sneered: "I don't know who wants to challenge me?" ”
Li Sui's talent is average, but after all, he is relatively old, and now he is also refining qi eightfold, and the martial arts he cultivates have been beaten, and one palm is enough to split the half-meter boulder.
There are only three people on Li Cheng's side, in addition to Li Cheng and Li Chun, there is also the son of the fifth elder, Li Jiongze.
Li Jiongze is also refining qi eightfold, and when he saw Li Sui coming to the stage, he snorted coldly, jumped into the ring and said coldly: "I'll come." ”
"It turned out to be Brother Jiongze, his fists and feet have no eyes, be careful." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Li Huang's eyes, and his figure instantly rushed towards Li Jiongze, his true luck was in his palms, and he attacked the key point as soon as he made a move.
Li Jiongze didn't expect Li Sui to be so shameless, but he didn't panic, and pulled out the long knife on his waist and slashed at Li Sui's palms.
Li Sui saw that the sneak attack was unsuccessful, but he didn't dare to take Li Jiongze's knife hard, and hurriedly retreated.
Li Jiongze was unforgiving, and the long knife in his hand quickly swung to form a knife net and slashed towards Li Sui.
Li Huang's eyes narrowed, and he pulled out his long sword to block Li Jiongze's attack, and at the same time, his true qi covered his left hand, and he waved a palm from time to time, putting a lot of pressure on Li Jiongze.
Li Jiongze's basic skills are very solid, and he wields a long knife.
But Li Sui's dispatch was too obscene, and whenever he showed his declining momentum, he repelled Li Jiongze's offensive with one palm.
Li Chun watched anxiously from the side, and secretly scolded shamelessly.
Li Cheng frowned slightly when he looked down, shook his head and said, "This Li Sui is planning to consume Li Jiongze's physical strength. ”
"This group of shameless people, there are a total of three martial artists who have refined qi above the eighth level, Li Sui, Li Jiongze and Li Chenguang, they want to consume Brother Jiongze's true qi and physical strength, so that Li Chenguang has no threat." Li Chun also saw Li Sui's thoughts, and couldn't help but be a little impatient.
Li Jiongze's success is solid in basic skills, and his defeat is not prominent, too mediocre Once the other party intends to consume him, even if Li Jiongze's true qi is strong and can consume one, it is impossible to last.
Li Cheng patted Li Chun on the shoulder, turned on the system and clicked on the plus sign behind the golden light spell.
"Does it consume the Golden Light Enhancement Spell?"
OK
Li Cheng did not hesitate to click down, the points can earn again, and the strength is his own.
A stream of true qi appeared in Li Cheng's body out of thin air, constantly wandering in his body according to the cultivation method of the Golden Light Mantra.
Li Cheng clicked on his avatar again, and the strength level on the screen did not change to the first level of the heavens, but there was an extra (primary) behind the golden light spell.
The Hanhai Jue in the body was also driven along with the operation of the Golden Light Mantra, refining qi eightfold.
Li Cheng didn't expect this promotion to be so powerful, and looked at his points a little helplessly, if he could go straight to the acquired realm today after the points.
In the ring, Li Jiongze knocked Li Sui out of the ring with a knife, his face was covered with sweat, and he was panting and wanted to get out of the ring to rest.
Li Chenguang smiled coldly, now as long as he kills Li Cheng and the others with the power of thunder, Li Jiongze will not be able to recover at all, and it will be self-evident who will be the head of the family at that time.
Li Chenguang walked into the ring and mocked Li Cheng and the others: "Two clan brothers, I don't know who is willing to go on stage to fight. After all, it is a ninefold qi refining for brothers, so it is better for the two clan brothers to go together. ”
Li Chun snorted coldly and was about to jump into the ring and shouted angrily: "Li Chenguang, don't bully people too much, I'll come... Third brother, don't pull me. ”
Li Cheng grabbed Li Chun and shook his head and said, "Second brother, you are not his opponent, if you believe me, I will come." ”
Li Chun looked at Li Cheng's resolute eyes and stopped struggling, his fists were clenched, and he looked at Li Cheng worriedly.
"Third brother, don't be reckless."
Li Cheng waved his hand to signal Li Chun to rest assured, strolled into the ring and hugged his fists: "Please also ask Brother Chenguang for advice." ”
Li Chen said with a sneer on his face: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the sword has no eyes, and it's still too late for the clan brother to admit defeat now." ”
Li Cheng didn't talk nonsense anymore and began to recite the incantation of the Golden Light Mantra: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong." The root of all gases. Extensive repair of the catastrophe. Prove my supernatural powers. Inside and outside the Three Realms. Only the Tao is honored. The body has a golden light. Covering me. ”
The true qi in Li Cheng's body turned into golden light and covered Li Cheng's surface with the sound of the spell.
Li Tiangang's face in the council hall showed a trace of astonishment, he would never admit his mistake with this Taoist atmosphere, and his third brother seemed to have a lot of opportunities.
Li Chenguang's pupils shrank, his face was a little gloomy, and he actually felt a trace of danger in Li Cheng's body.
Li Chenguang no longer hesitated, pulled out the long sword on his waist, and continued to stab out with a thick true qi, it was the yellow-level top-grade martial art that the clan had spent a lot of money to buy, the Qingfeng Thirteen Swords.
The core of the Thirteen Swords of Qingfeng is fast, accurate and ruthless, mainly to hit, stab, point, collapse, stir, press, split, intercept, wash, cloud, hang, tease, and slash.
Facing Li Chenguang's sharp sword, Li Cheng had no intention of dodging, and the golden light on his body hit Li Chenguang's body with a backhand wave of golden light and knocked him out, and he fell directly outside the ring.
