Chapter 18: A Fateful Encounter
Li Zhong entered the house, while Li Xun sat on the grass, playing with his tortoise-shaped rattle.
He suddenly stopped a few disciples of Forget Worry Valley who had not yet left, and shouted in a milky voice, "Brother and sister, play with me!"
The beggar's son, Yuan Shu, trotted over first. This guy somehow was released from the confinement room in advance, probably because Lin Yan begged his father to come forward and say good things.
In his opinion, it is meaningful to please this child, because his future is by no means limited to a small valley of forgetfulness.
Although the Three Rivers Sword Sect is in decline, it is still a powerful faction in the Dao Sect.
Li Xun grinned, put the rattle on the ground, and grabbed three small glass beads and a dozen black balls from his pocket. The technology of making glass has been passed down from the West, and although it is still rare and expensive in Middle-earth, it is very popular in the houses of the powerful, not only glassware and playthings, but also many famous doors have changed their windows into bright glass windows to show their magnificence.
His little hands bloomed with plain white brilliance, and more than a dozen black balls flew up like a splash in the sky, and small glass beads also bounced up quickly.
When the glass beads blessed with Dao power come into contact with the black ball, they will submerge into it, and then jump out and enter other glass balls.
This is a variant of the guessing game, as the glass beads and black balls are in high velocity, which is a great test of eyesight.
Li Xun used the Dao power in his body to manipulate more than 20 spheres to float and fly in the air, playing handily, and the curve of the spheres sliding was extremely smooth. Obviously, although he is young, his cultivation is not bad.
Moreover, the Li family originated from the Haihe Sword School in the Three Rivers, and it pays attention to the surging Dao power, like the unbridled ocean, and is good at operating the Dao power in a large area, rather than concentrating on one point, which is suitable for this kind of game.
Wu Feng didn't leave before, but he didn't go over, just watched from a short distance. For some reason, the kind and polite Li family father and son gave him a not very good premonition - people in the Daomen have always had a sense of superiority, even if they don't do bad things, they shouldn't be so polite.
Wu Feng has always believed in his hunch.
I saw Yuan Shufei standing up and grabbing a black ball into his hand.
"Little brother, is this it?" said Yuan Shu with a smile.
Li Xun reached into Yuan Shu's hand, and split the black ball into the ground, which was hollow, and sure enough, there were two small glass beads, shining with colorful clear streamers in the setting sun.
Yuan Shu was about to say, "I won", but Li Xun giggled: "There is another one in this ball!"
As he spoke, the black balls fell to the ground one after another, and Li Xun grabbed another black ball and opened it, and there was also a glass bead hidden inside.
"Big brother, you lost, you have to be slapped!"
Yuan Shu hurriedly lowered his head, ready to be slapped hard by this little young master for fun, but Li Xun just patted him lightly on the face, not only did it not hurt, but it was also very comfortable to be touched by the jade-like little hand.
"Alright, big brother, you're here. Li Xun gathered the black balls and glass beads and handed them to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu hesitated, after all, he was a martial artist, and he didn't have Dao power in his body, so he didn't know how to manipulate this thing.
"Just throw it with palm power!" Li asked: "As long as the speed is fast enough, the glass beads will directly fall into the black ball, and then exert a little force on the black ball, and the glass beads will fly out again!"
Hearing this, Yuan Shu picked up the beads and began to operate. He had the cultivation of the peak of the Bone Refining Realm, and after a few attempts, he had the trick of control.
Li Xun and he exchanged guesses more than a dozen times, Li Xun is obviously extremely skilled in this way, rarely makes mistakes, even if the three glass beads are scattered into three different balls, he can always point them out one by one.
However, Yuan Shu has the advantage of cultivation, but he didn't lose too badly.
Several male and female disciples next to him also joined the game, and they were all Yuan Shu's party. However, these people's control of the sphere was much worse than Yuan Shu's, making a mess, the black ball kept falling from the air, and they had to hurriedly pick it up with their hands and then throw it into the air.
After playing for a while, Li Xun suddenly looked into Yuan Shu's eyes. The child's eyes were as clear as spring water in the mountains, as if he could see through the depths of a person's heart.
I only heard him say softly: "Big brother, you are not usually very happy, have you? ”
Yuan Shu was taken aback, and then sighed: "It's a little." ”
Yuan Shu recently failed to calculate Wu Feng, but was slapped in the face and didn't say anything. A person like him, who always thinks about stepping on others to climb up, can't live a happier life.
Li Xun laughed and said, "Big brother, don't be unhappy, when you cultivate to the point where you can fly, you will definitely be happier than anyone else." Dad just flew me over, stepping on the earth and rocks, and the feeling of flying into the sky couldn't be better......"
Hearing this, Yuan Shu showed a slight joy.
Wu Feng on the side was in his heart.
This kid is not simple. The words flying and stepping on are exactly what Yuan Shu thinks in his heart.
Maybe this kid felt Yuan Shu's luck and had the idea of taking him for himself. Many of the children of famous families were thinking about cultivating wings at a very young age.
But after all, it is a child, and if he is a few years older and likable, he should take another way, and these words should be hidden in his heart, or more obscurely.
He couldn't help but take a few steps closer and turned his eyes away, but for some reason, Li Xun also turned his gaze away at this time.
Suddenly, Wu Feng and this pink-carved child looked at each other.
Li Xun's eyes were soft, with a pink innocence, but an extremely strange feeling suddenly rose from Wu Feng's chest.
The vigilant emotion penetrated his bone marrow.
It seems to be something called fate.
It seems that something has been intertwined with each other in countless worlds, as if in those unknowable years, I don't know how many times I have gone through my life.
Wu Feng seemed to see the flames rushing into the sky, the tall palace falling into ashes, as if he saw a new honor established on the ruins.
"This time, I won't make you a wedding dress again. ”
Wu Feng didn't know why he had such a strange idea, the person sitting on the grass over there was just a ten-year-old child!
Li Xun's gaze was also dull for a while, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, he spoke: "That big brother, you come over too, let's play together." ”
Wu Feng walked over, but he didn't look at Yuan Shu over there at all, as if he was treating him as air.
"Little brother. Wu Feng said clearly. "I know what you really want to use as a toy. ”
Wu Feng pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other.
After saying that, he smiled. pointed to Yuan Shu and a few henchmen of Yuan Shu.
"Sorry, I'm annoying these guys. I feel like it's a shame to play with them. ”
"When you really want to play a serious game, little brother, I'll accompany you again. ”
Yuan Shu didn't understand Wu Feng's true meaning at all, he just felt despised and angry.
But Li Xun understood.
What Wu Feng said was that when he was qualified to play games with the mighty mountains and rivers between heaven and earth, he would play with him. A mediocre person like Yuan Shu is naturally not qualified to participate in this kind of game.
Li Xun is conceited as the son of the Sanhe Sword Sect, the Sanhe Sword Sect, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is his own foundation in the future, and he firmly believes that he will be able to revitalize the Sanhe Sword Sect and let himself participate in the game of the world.
However, why did Wu Feng, a small low-level martial artist, say such a thing?
However, Li Xun didn't feel angry, but just felt very interesting.
When Yuan Shu heard this, he wanted to roar, but he felt that shouting in front of the prince of the Sanhe Sword Sect would affect his image, so he could only hold his breath and turn his face into black blue.
He can't be like Wu Feng, when he speaks badly, he still maintains a calm and indifferent image. This is a gap in natural demeanor and temperament.
At this moment, Xiao Yangge came over again with a few people.
"Brother Li, little boy. Let's come over and have a meal together. Xiao Madge raised his voice, and said to Yuan Shu and Wu Feng: "You two, come to accompany you too!"
Yuan Shu was even more annoyed in his heart - Wu Feng, who was not an elite disciple, what qualifications did he have, just rely on his father, who had been missing for several years and didn't know whether he was dead or alive?
Xiao Madge welcomed Li Zhong and the old servants of the Li family out, and the group came to the beautifully decorated dining room on the side of the apse in the valley.
The four walls of the canteen are made of white marble, and then glutinous rice is glued, without a single piece of wood, covered with glazed tiles, wide and bright.
At this time, the sun is setting, and only the light remains, so the palace lamps are hung on the roof beams, and standing lamps are also erected around the room, which illuminates the dining room in all directions.
The inside of the palace lamp and the standing lamp is not lamp oil, but a spirit stone that emits light under the action of the formation, and through the stained glass, it emits colorful light.
There are many rich mines in the Valley of Forgotten Worries, so among the tribes of the shrine, it is not large, but it is quite rich. You can see it from this canteen.
A group of elders and elite disciples were already waiting among them. On the stage with a Persian scarlet carpet in front of the large table, beautiful dancers danced and sang movingly.
Xiao Yangge let Li Zhong sit in the VIP seat, and after the guests and hosts finished their seats, the banquet was immediately started. Xiao Yangge and a group of elders took turns to toast Li Zhong. Li Zhong was obviously not very strong in alcohol, and he was poured down after several rounds, and soon showed a slightly drunk look.
Li Xun, the little child, was full of witty words, which made a group of people laugh, and they liked this child more and more.
After three rounds of drinking, I only heard Xiao Yangge speak: "Brother Li is going to Da Zhou this time, I don't know how Sect Master Yang is doing?"
This is also something that everyone in the Valley of Forgotten Worries, and even all the martial artists in the Great Zhou Territory, are very concerned about!
Yang Qi Taoism is the crown in the world, but for some reason, he rarely interferes in the political affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of the time is in retreat.
Therefore, the power of the Great Zhou is actually in the hands of the four pillar national clans: the King of Zhuxian, the King of Arrogantness, the King of Philistines, and the King of Counter-War, and the four pillar countries do not obey each other and fight endlessly, so that the martial arts sects such as Shentang and Tianzifeng can have great independence.
If Yang Qi concentrates on government affairs and suppresses the martial arts sect with peerless Taoism, then it will be tantamount to a great disaster for the martial artists.
