Chapter 170: The Clan's Main Courtyard
The main courtyard of the clan is located at the foot of Lijing Mountain, close to the foot of the mountain, it used to be the courtyard of the Li family under the mountain, the left and right two courtyards are guarded, the whole house sits in the north and faces south, and is rectangular.
The front yard is made of stone bricks, it is an open-air venue, each stone brick is tamped by the four brothers of the Li family back then, Li Changhu and Li Tongya bricks, Li Xiangping and Li Qijing and joints, if you carefully observe in the cracks of the wall, maybe you can also see the fingerprints of the sword fairy when it was still immature, the work of the family members is intimate, tightly fitted, so far there has been no omission in the wind and rain.
Li Xie Wen is now in his thirties, has become a serious and upright middle-aged man, wearing plain clothes, standing in the front yard, Li Xuanxuan retreats and cultivates, and Li Yuan practices the family, Li Xie Wen consciously handed over the work in the town to his eldest son Li Pingyi, and came to the main courtyard of the clan to do things.
Just like the night when Li Yesheng handed over Lijing Town to him, Li Xie Wen took Li Pingyi's hand, and the two talked all night with candles, from the time when the eldest father Li Yesheng put ducks on the Meiqi River to talk about how prominent Li Xie Wen's vein is now, Li Xie Wen held Li Pingyi's hand and said solemnly:
"My vein has been in charge of Lijing Town for generations, your eldest father and Xiang Pinggong died together in Shanyue, and my father and my lord balanced the families in Lijing Town, and restrained the disciples for a full eighteen years, you must know that the ups and downs of my vein are all related to the young family master, and act cautiously!"
Li Pingyi is a shrewd person, these things have always been seen in the eyes of children, since he was a child, he has known how to follow Li Yuanxiu behind him, and naturally he understands his father's hard work, and now he has been assisting Li Yuan in his cultivation for more than a year, and he has never slackened.
Li Xie Wen was standing in the courtyard, and the soldiers who came and went left and right bowed their heads when they saw him, he replied one by one, and waited for a stick of incense, only then did he see his eldest son Li Pingyi walk out of the courtyard and arch his hand:
"Ask, Lord Clan has already descended the mountain, please come with me."
The two of them have their own duties in the main courtyard of the clan, and the eyes of all the clans are fixed on the father and son, so naturally they dare not call each other father and son in the courtyard, Li Pingyi called his father's position in the courtyard "ask", and Li Xie Wen said respectfully:
"Thank you, sir."
Li Xie Wen followed Li Pingyi into the middle hall, and saw many clan soldiers standing in the hall, His Royal Highness also knelt two people, both stripped off their shirts and whipped with thorns, blood splashed on the ground, the two gritted their teeth and did not dare to speak, and there were gray-white wooden marks inserted in their heads and necks, Li Xie Wen took a closer look, one of them was "bullying people's daughters", and the other was "greedy for money", it seemed that they were not their own children, and they were immediately relieved.
Bypassing the gloomy nave, the light in the back hall was much brighter, with windows open on both sides, revealing a few rays of sunlight, and a bright light that seemed to be lit by mana, and there was no gray and black smoke.
There was a young man sitting at the top, who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, with black hair standing up in a regular manner, wearing a jade crown of jade, with smooth sword eyebrows, smooth lines on his face, and gray-black eyes looked over and said with a smile:
"Hearing that Uncle Xie Wen came to look for me, Yuan Xiu hurriedly went down the mountain, asked Uncle Xie Wen to wait a little longer, and asked for forgiveness."
"Don't dare! Can't! ”
Li Xie Wen saw that his face was sincere, and he listened to it comfortably, but he didn't dare to hold it up, and said in a deep voice:
"My subordinates have received this duty of inquiry, and they have been ordered to supervise the small sect and branch line monks, and they have recently received the news and hurriedly come to report it."
"Uncle Clan, please speak."
Li Yuanxiu nodded slightly, Li Xie Wen arched his hand, and continued:
"The son of the Chen family worshiped under Li Qiuyang's door and made a doll kiss with his sixth daughter, and the Chen family has already invested in the Qiuyang lineage, so it ......"
"My uncle has already told me about this."
Li Yuanxiu waved his hand, obviously knowing about this for a long time, and said with a smile:
"Uncle and Uncle Qiuyang are the pillars of my family, so it's okay to do this."
Li Xie Wen could see that Li Yuanxiu didn't want to delve into this matter, so he deliberately interrupted himself, and some words would offend people, so he immediately gave up and continued:
"Now there are more than 6,500 people in the side branch of my Li family's Ye clan, and there are 1,200 people in the small sect, with a total of eight monks, and the disciples who participated in the struggle of the three foreign surname monks have been identified one by one, and there are more than 600 mortals...... There are three monks. ”
"Hmm."
Li Yuanxiu frowned slightly, thought for a few breaths, and said softly:
"Most of these mortals have become in-laws with monks with foreign surnames, so it is inevitable that they will be involved......"
"As for the monks of the family, the small sect is not a single family, it has its own relatives and family, and the interests are entangled, but it is not easy to deal with it."
Looking at Li Xie Wen at the next one, Li Yuanxiu said softly:
"Uncle Clan took a fancy to one of the talented disciples, and transferred him to Huaqian Mountain to practice with his uncle, away from these rights and wrongs, and the rest of the people are just those who have been trapped in the womb all their lives, and let him fight, fighting in the end is just a handful of ashes, so that people can keep an eye on it, as long as it is not too ugly, the rest will go with him."
"Yes."
Li Xie Wen responded in a deep voice, and explained some messy details, then bowed down and retreated, Li Pingyi on the side looked at Li Yuanxiu, and said in a low voice:
"Clan Zheng, do our people continue to add fuel to the fire......
"No need, withdraw it."
Li Yuanxiu put away the wooden slip on the table, took the tea bowl and drank it, and replied:
"It's been a long time and it's been a real fire, but it's not beautiful, and now this intensity is just right, so they can grit their teeth but be helpless."
"The monks in the family are increasing day by day, and the monks are not really not eating the fireworks in the world, the spirit rice and the spirit stone can make them fight for their heads, and the struggle is a matter of time, and now with such a push, who is treacherous and cunning, who is stable and honest is clear, and when the time comes, something will really happen, and there will be a reference."
Li Pingyi nodded in response, Li Yuan practiced the pen and drew on the cloth in front of him, raised his slender eyebrows, and said in a low voice:
"But now most of the elders in the family are in retreat, things should be done steadily, don't alarm the elders, you send a few people to keep an eye on it, if something really happens, warn and warn in advance, and it won't look good if it makes a fuss."
"My subordinates understand."
Li Pingyi arched his hand, recalled the report of the past few days, and suddenly something came to mind, Li Pingyi said in a low voice:
"Clan Zheng, the Tian family broke through the five-layer Yujing wheel of fetal breath, so the spiritual consciousness was born, all the movements around the body were clear, and the children in the clan were almost recognized by him many times, and his subordinates had to ask them to withdraw first, so as not to expose the stuffing."
"The fifth-layer cultivator of the fetal breath is already beyond the mundane and inconvenient to manage, and I have also considered this matter."
Li Yuanxiu put down the brush in his hand, obviously had concerns for a long time, and said in a low voice:
"When the monk reaches the fifth layer or the peak of the fetal breath, he is no longer human under the blessing of his cultivation, and he is not a person who can be controlled by the main courtyard of the clan."
"I'm thinking about writing a letter to the eyebrow ruler peak, asking the monks above the fifth level of fetal breath to be separated from the crowd, and it is too wasteful to let him go to farming with spiritual sense, you can go into the mountain to kill some monsters or make some rune paper, and you don't have to go to the mountain to control."
Li Yuanxiu paused, thought about his thoughts repeatedly for a while, and continued:
"It's just that there are still too few monks in the family who have given birth to spiritual consciousness, and it is difficult to separate an organization, and when the monks with foreign surnames in the family slowly grow up, this matter will have to be put on the table sooner or later."
"The young master thinks about it."
