Chapter 333: A Guest from Far Away
Li Jiman rode a horse to Lijing Town, lying in the car back to Wutu City, the Li family's main courtyard was executed by a fetal monk, even if he had a body of cultivation, it was useless, he was still beaten to the skin.
Several unsmiling clan elders in the main courtyard of the clan talked for a while, and gave an evaluation of "neglecting their duties and indulging their surnames", which not only turned Li Jiman over and over again and slapped seventy boards, but also slapped Li Jiman's face with a crackle.
The Tian family naturally rushed to the main courtyard of the clan, Tian Zhongqing stepped forward to apologize again and again, Li Jiman revealed it with a smile on his face, but Tian Zhongqing felt cold behind his back.
On the other end, although the main courtyard of the clan and Li Yuanping's nave did not give any instructions to his family, they still made them sweat coldly.
As the head of the Tian family at the center of the storm, Tian Zhongqing choked in his throat when he heard this, and the joy of promoting Qi cultivation was gone, and he drove back to Dongshanyue overnight, smashing the porcelain all over the courtyard in anger, and had to stop his uncle Tian Youdao from slapping Tian Rong to death.
"Get down! Evil animals! ”
With Tian Youdao's loud shout, Tian Rong covered his swollen cheeks and went down, Tian Zhongqing let go of the old man's hand, he really didn't want to stop Tian Youdao in his heart, and he beat him to death with one palm......
But the old man's slap only made Tian Rong stumble, and Tian Zhongqing knew that his uncle still felt sorry for this only son, and accompanied him to finish the play, and said in a deep voice:
"Uncle...... What can I do? ”
Tian Youdao is also an old man of the Li family, from fetal breath to qi practice, he has a very large generation in the clan, and when he heard this, he let out a sigh and said in a muffled voice:
"Li Jiman is narrow-minded, and he was already dissatisfied with my family, but now that this incident has happened, he has formed a big feud......"
The uncle and nephew both practiced qi, their own family is the largest foreign surname force in the Li family, they have always been cautious, and they never thought that Tian Zhongqing would go into retreat, and Tian Youdao would go out, but Tian Rong ran out, causing such a bad result.
Tian Zhongqing sighed and said in a low voice:
"It's obviously ordered, how could he be told to run out, now Li Jiman has the support of many Shanyue nobles... If there is any change in the future......"
Tian Youdao sat up, he was already in his seventies, and he had seen a lot of things, so he had pinched his beard and secretly calculated, and said thoughtfully:
"This matter is strange, wait for me to ask the head of the family, talk about it, if the clan wants to do something, I will just cooperate!"
After all, Tian Youdao is Li Xuanfeng's uncle, he is a senior in the family, and he is also qualified to say this, Tian Zhongqing couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this:
"Only an uncle in the clan can say this......"
"Zhongqing!"
Tian Youdao called in a low voice, Tian Zhongqing hurriedly raised his head, his uncle and nephew glanced at each other, Tian Youdao's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
"Speaking of which... My family can have such a power now, it seems that my uncle and nephew have broken through the qi training, and the Tian family's spiritual skills have come out repeatedly, and they are the mainstay, and they have won the trust of the main family and restricted Shanyue, but Zhongqing..."
He looked at his nephew and said in a low voice:
"You must know that the power and power of my family are only me!"
Tian Zhongqing nodded heavily, he is now also a person who has been married for many years, has many heirs, and is much more mature, and said in a muffled voice:
"The Ren family and the Dou family are related to the Bo line, and now there is a son of Ximing, and he follows with his eyes, the Liu family has declined, and the Xu family is dedicated to being a pure minister in the army, and he does not rely on the east and the west, but there is nothing to worry about."
"And my Tian clan..."
Tian Youdao is Li Xuanfeng's own uncle, the Tian family has always been headed by the uncle's lineage, but Li Xuanfeng went to Yishan City in southern Xinjiang, and he had no heirs, which made the Tian family have no support.
Li Xuanfeng said that he was going to Yishan City to garrison, but a few of them came back when he went to this city, and everyone didn't say it in their hearts, just as if he couldn't come back, the rest of the people didn't feel much, but Tian secretly beat the drum in his heart.
"Not bad."
Tian Youdao shook his head and replied:
"I'm just afraid that one day something happens to me, and the Tian family will be dismembered, just like the Liu family."
Tian Zhongqing hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:
"Uncle, look... How is the eldest prince? ”
Li Jiaxi's Ming generation Li Xiyu is the longest, he is the eldest son, Li Xizhi is the third, Li Ximing and Li Xijun are seven and eight respectively, and the rest of the three sons are all mortals, and they are sent down the mountain.
Li Xiyu is now in Shanyue to govern affairs, and he is the only son of the Li family who has gone down the mountain to govern affairs, but he is the Zhongmai Li Tongya, Tian Zhongqing has a lot of contact with him, and he has some understanding, explaining:
"The eldest prince is very elegant, generous and friendly, if the Tian family is a female wife and concubine, I will devote my heart to fellowship with him, and I will fall to Zhongmai, maybe I can find a big tree."
"Zhongmai was once in decline, and there was no maternal help, it was really the best choice!"
Tian Youdao took a sip of tea and replied:
"You go and give it a try, first build a good relationship, I think he is more than elegant, not tough enough, he is easy to cling, if he can be trusted, several generations are worry-free."
────
In the main hall with many guards, Li Yuanping was dressed in a brocade robe, sitting cross-legged, and white light appeared on the futon under him, helping him to concentrate and avoid interference.
"The head of the house! Letter from the West Road. ”
The clan soldiers who came up below read in a low voice, and saw that Li Yuanping was cultivating in the main hall, and he didn't dare to step forward for a while.
Li Yuanping has rarely been more relaxed recently, and he also has time to free up for cultivation, although the benefits are very small, but it is better than nothing.
"Bring it up."
Li Yuanping exhaled, stretched out his hand to take the letter, and made a specific law decision to unravel the secret letter, and read it:
"The Winter River has reached the desert in the west, this place is called the Guyan Desert, the two entourages are respectful and fine, there are many passes here, I am equal to the Golden Feather Sect under the rule of the Guyan Temple guest residence, the three of them work together, and they can return in seven years."
"Good!"
Seeing that there was a way to collect the [Jinyang Huangyuan] in the west, Li Yuanping was suddenly overjoyed, looked at the small letter in his hand, and said suspiciously:
"Where did this come from?"
"The head of the family."
The soldier replied:
"It was brought by the merchants of the way."
Li Yuanping nodded suddenly, took pen and ink and wrote a big "good", and wrote some words of encouragement and thanks, sealed it with his own law seal, and threw it into Dou Yi's hands:
"Reward him with some spiritual rice and let him take it back."
This heaven and earth communication didn't need to be so troublesome, not to mention antiquity, I heard that there were things like transmission notes thousands of years ago, but later, somehow, this kind of symbol either failed to work, or was expensive, and few people used it.
Retracting his thoughts, Li Yuanping focused on his home's affairs.
"Yamagoe is easy to do."
Since Li Yuanjiao mentioned this matter a few days ago, he had a detailed chat with Li Yuanping, and soon returned to the mountain to practice, while Li Yuanping focused on how to solve these two things.
Li Yuanping, the land of Shanyue, had long been dissatisfied, and secretly made arrangements, but the children of the clan gave Li Yuanping a headache.
"I really want to be like my brother said...... Where are you going to find a place..."
Li Yuanping sorted out the letters on the case and took out the information of several surrounding families.
The Yu family has not moved these days, Yu Mugao buried himself in sorting out the clan in the clan, killing a batch today, releasing a batch tomorrow, although his brothers were numerous, they couldn't fight, and they were slaughtered as lambs every day.
"How dare you kill......"
Li Yuanping looked at the roster on the top and pursed his lips, Yu Mugao was killed, and there were many hidden dangers left, he shook his head and started the idea of the East Coast families.
There are more than a dozen families scattered on the east coast, scattered all over the place, although most of them are small clans who practice qi, but they are quite complicated, entangled in many ways, and no one touches them.
The north shore of Mochizuki Lake and the east shore of Mochizuki Lake used to be the territory of the boring Golden Gate, and the east bank of the houses and the boring Golden Gate are inextricably linked.
Second, the families on the east coast hold several mineral veins and spiritual springs and other treasures, all of which are secretly controlled by the Xiao family in the west, and the Xiao family guards them in the name of Keqing to maintain the situation and make profits.
It shouldn't have happened, but the Qingchi Sect turned a blind eye, and the Xiao family had the heart to see this shattered appearance, so it was maintained year after year.
What's more, Mochizuki Lake is next to the Xiao family, and the buffer zone between them is maintained by these families, bordering the Boring Golden Gate to the north and the Li family and the Ding family to the south.
It is these many factors that have maintained the East Coast families, and there have been no major changes in the past hundred years, when the Jiang family is prosperous, it is for the Jiang family, and the Yu family dominates for the Yu family.
"When the Fang market was broken and the Yu family declined, my family also had the opportunity to accept a few offers, but at that time, there was a shortage of manpower, and I only wanted to keep my head in the dark, and I didn't want to get involved in it, so I missed it."
Li Yuanping thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and secretly said:
"It just so happens that my family is struggling right now, if I can get involved... First, you can get some offerings, and second, you can support some forces on the east coast..."
Li Yuanping was thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and called to Dou Yi below:
"Go to the main courtyard of the clan to get me a copy of the information of the East Coast families."
Dou Yi nodded hurriedly, hurriedly went down, never thought of running up with a person, and said respectfully:
"Master of the family! There are monks on the road who ask to see you! ”
"Monk of the Dao?"
Li Yuanping was slightly stunned, knowing that it was probably not easy to report to the palace, so he only asked:
"What kind of cultivation? But what do you want? ”
The clan soldier at the rank opened his mouth and replied:
"According to An Keqing, I'm afraid it's not a monk from the Jindan Dao of the Purple Mansion, wearing a cuffed Taoist robe, with a young man's appearance, and it is said that he is a body with a momentum far beyond the foundation building, as for the affairs, you have to see the head of the family before you can say it."
An Partridge Yan had also seen Yu Xiaogui and Li Tongya back then, and he could probably estimate the strength of the foundation building monks, and what he said was far beyond the foundation building, which couldn't help but make Li Yuanping's expression solemn.
"It's not the Purple Mansion Jindan Dao Monk!? Want to see me? ”
Li Yuanping was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go and remind Brother Jiao, call ...... You don't have to call him over, let him watch from the mountains...... An Keqing and others suppressed it together... In case the man suddenly rises up. ”
Li Yuan's face was a little ugly, he had always hated this kind of unexpected trouble the most, not to mention that although the other party came to the door politely, but this person's cultivation far exceeded that of building a foundation, and the Li family couldn't bear it if he really wanted to make trouble.
"Damn it!"
He expressed his dissatisfaction viciously, and then he let out a long breath and said in a low voice:
"Ask him to wait in the side hall."
"Yes!"
Dou Yi and the others shrank their heads down, and Li Yuanping sat back and said secretly:
"Seeing through the bundle is not a meditation, but it is hard to guarantee that it is a change... Maybe it's a demon cultivator... My family has never seen Jiangnan Demon Cultivation, but I have heard that the appearance is no different from ordinary people, and I am afraid that I will not recognize it. ”
He took two steps down the stairs, after all, it was a visit at the foundation level, and the Li family was now enough for him, and it would not cause people to riot and kill him, and the loss would be too great.
"It's not appropriate to show cowardice at this time, but I'm afraid that it will be bad if people become suspicious, and I will meet him."
Li Yuanping walked to the front of the hall, walked with light steps, and then walked to the corridor, and saw Li Wen, who had a simple face, holding a golden gourd as big as a person's head in one hand and following him, without saying a word.
Li Yuanping looked at his mountain-like figure, and really felt a little more secure, and said with a smile:
"What a fool!"
"Huh."
Li Wen smiled sullenly, Li Yuanping came to the side hall, and said softly:
"You don't have to follow up, just wait outside."
After all, there is too much difference between building a foundation and practicing qi, according to An Luyan's description, Li Wen's going up is a matter of people's palms, and it seems that his own heart is weak.
Seeing that Li Wen was stunned to respond, Li Yuanping pushed the door and entered.
The side courtyard is simple and unpretentious, only a few wooden cases are placed, and there is a young man sitting next to the small case on the side, with a crown on his head, an ordinary face, and a sword on his lap, which looks like a peachwood sword.
He didn't look to be in his twenties, he was wearing this ordinary robe, the cuffs were embroidered with gold patterns, and he didn't look like he was wearing it somewhere, and the peach wood sword was also ordinary and bleak, not like a treasure.
"Twenty-year-old Tsuki?"
Li Yuanping had already decided in his heart that this person had used illusion to cover up his appearance, and he became more and more vigilant.
"The Li family welcomes the seniors, I don't know what the seniors call them?"
Li Yuanping stepped forward, put on a smile on his face, and asked softly without being humble or arrogant.
"I've seen the head of the house! Under the birth of Zhao Guoyinghua County Wang Xun! The head of the house is gracious! ”
I didn't think that the monk's reaction was very big, and he jumped up from the side of the table, and the peachwood sword on his knee jumped in the air, floating lightly in the air, Wang Xun seemed to know nothing, and replied politely.
Seeing this person's answer and tone, Li Yuanping let go of his heart a little, his eyes swept over the peachwood sword without a trace, and said with a smile:
"It turned out to be a guest of Zhao Guo! Under Li Yuanping, there is a loss of welcome, and there is a loss of welcome. ”
"Don't dare."
Wang Xun saw that Li Yuanping did not go up, but sat down on the side, obviously giving himself face, his restrained expression suddenly relaxed, and he also sat down.
Seeing that the reaction of the young man in front of him was really not pretending, the burden in Li Yuanping's heart suddenly went three points more, and he became more and more free, and said softly:
"Look at the tea!"
The attendant at the head of the head brought the tea up, set it in front of the two, and hurriedly retreated, Li Yuanping smiled, looked at the shy and shy appearance of the young man in front of him, did not dare to relax his vigilance, and said softly:
"Excuse me, senior... Where did you come from? Can you entrust it? If my family is within its means, it will be done for my predecessors. ”
This young man probably doesn't often walk around the world, and he never said his origin after a series of words, Li Yuanping asked about his background, just to see if it was a big clan or not, so that he could deal with it.
So he asked with a smile as he picked up the jade pot and added tea for him.
The young man was stunned, nodded again and again, and thought he was asking about his family lineage, so he hurriedly replied:
"I was born in the Yinghua royal family, and I am the great-great-grandson of Xiaojin Zhenjun, the son of Yingyuan Zhenren..."
"...... Uproar"
Li Yuanping seemed to have been slapped inexplicably, his head was buzzing, and his steady hand shook, these words shook his mind blank, and he scattered several splashes in a good manner.
"Xiaojin Zhenjun! Brother Jindan! ”
He looked up in a daze and said in disbelief:
"Senior... Say yes... The great-great-grandson of the true monarch, the son of the real man?! ”
