Chapter 682: Retreat

Wushan.

The white mist-like spirit floated around, flowing along the lines on the jade, and the jade pillar at the highest point was full of energy, and the sky was brilliant.

Li Ximing sat on it, the light white gold-patterned Taoist robe on his body flew slightly, and his cultivation was extreme.

Although the [Treasure Ladder] is difficult, it is only after the cultivation is deepened that it is found that it can be corroborated with the Huaijiang diagram of the ancient spirit weapon of the Purple Mansion from time to time, which is much easier.

Now that I have been practicing for many years, I have met a few epiphanies with considerable progress by virtue of the opportunity of the year, and the progress is not slow.

"[Treasure Ladder] is a secret method for growing mental power and enhancing spiritual sense, and you can use the 'Huangyuan Pass' as a wonderful method, and the brilliance is all over the mountain, and the cultivator's mana is clear everywhere, and he is not subject to the misfortune of the demons."

The method of [Treasure Ladder] is presented on the immortal base, if the Huangyuan Pass is released at this moment, there are looming illusory treasure steps condensed in the corner towers on both sides and the Ming Pass in the middle, Li Ximing secretly knows in his heart, and does not urge the immortal base.

"It's a nuisance... I don't know how much the Minghuang Xianji Sects know, this treasure level is obviously a little different, if there is a record of Wei Li back then, I am afraid that I can see that I have practiced the 'treasure level'. ”

Li Ximing muttered in his heart, and secretly said:

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to fight anymore..."

He let out a long sigh and raised his eyebrows to see the dripping on the jade pillar on the side, and the fifty-four round jade beads in the jade plate at the bottom were piled together.

"It was originally estimated that it would take ten years to refine, but it only took about half of the time."

This is also a good thing, Li Ximing retracted his gaze, took out the light purple jade slip, turned his hand and read it, the next secret method is 'Da Xuan'.

This secret method is related to the pupil technique, there is more space, and there is nothing familiar about it, Li Ximing glanced at it slightly, and suddenly froze:

"The difficulty is several times higher than that of the 'Treasure Tier'... If you also count the mutual exclusion between the secret methods, the time it takes is even more difficult to calculate! ”

What's more, Li Ximing estimated that the [Huaijiang Map] at that time was the Purple Mansion Spirit Weapon of the 'Huangyuan Pass' and the 'Changming Order', so it was quite beneficial to the cultivation of the [Treasure Level], and [Da Xuan] was obviously not among them, so he could no longer take advantage of this opportunity.

"This set of secret methods needs to be cultivated in a real way, at least twenty or thirty years! If there is something incomprehensible in it, I don't know how long it will be delayed! ”

Li Ximing had an estimate, put away the jade slip, raised from the jade pillar, and came out of the formation, the morning light was in full bloom, he flew into the continent, and the monks in front of the main hall all bowed their heads to greet him.

Li Ximing stepped into the hall, but did not notice Li Zhouwei's figure, but a young man in silver armor and black robe was standing in the hall, and six silver-white ancient orders were long and graceful, hanging from his waist.

This person is not tall, but the armor sets off the shoulders and is still broad, the expression is bright, the eyes are painted, especially stunning, and the eyebrows are printed with a little lilac, and he is standing in the brilliant morning light.

"It's familiar!"

Li Ximing paused for a moment, although this young man was only in the early stage of foundation building, but this posture was extraordinary, but the young man raised his eyes, his eyes were full of joy, obviously he recognized him at a glance, and said:

"I've seen my uncle!"

"Acceptance! Well..."

Li Ximing only looked at the six tokens on his waist, guessed that it was him, and was overjoyed to be confirmed at this moment, he bowed his head again and again, stepped forward in two steps, took his hand and sat down, and praised:

"Okay, good, you break through the foundation, and the Chengming generation is considered to be a successor! You're in your early fifties! The chance is immeasurable, back then, I thought that there were few of you who could break through the foundation, but I didn't expect that with the help of the water and thunder, you wouldn't even need Sui Yuandan! ”

It was also the first time for Li Cheng to talk to this elder like this, so he sat down on the edge of the chair and replied respectfully:

"Uncle Yu, Brother Huai has also entered the continent for retreat, and most of the eldest brother Chengliao will also be out of the customs, I acted hastily and seized some opportunities."

Li Ximing shook his head.

Although Li Cheng is one of the best talents in the Chengming generation, he actually doesn't have many resources to practice all the way, and the East China Sea thundered, so he went to the island to practice, but he didn't expect to encounter chaos before and after, and sometimes even cut off contact, not to mention how much money he used at home.

In the end, when it came to the breakthrough, Sui Yuandan in the family had never been used by him, although Li Cheng was a descendant, his resources were not as good as An Siwei's few people, and even some of them were like exile, although Li Ximing was not in charge of the family, he couldn't stand Li Xuanxuan's chatter dozens of times, and he still knew it in his heart.

"I've wronged you all these years!"

"Uncle is serious."

These words made Li Cheng panic, the young man's pupils converged, and he said in a deep voice:

"The brothers went into battle to kill the enemy, and eight out of ten died, but I sat quietly in Zongquan and concentrated on cultivation, how dare I have a grudge in my heart, and I got the [Six Thunder Xuan Punishment Order] at the beginning of the foundation, and I feel that it is too heavy."

Li Ximing's heart was relieved, chatted with him for a few words, looked at his eyes, only felt that it was too dark, and there was a faint unusual taste, so he asked:

"Can you practice the pupil technique?"

Li Cheng nodded hurriedly and replied:

"Uncle Mingjian, who has been overseas for decades, has had some opportunities, and has cultivated a [Yin Ming Xuanyan], and the exercises have already been sent home."

Li Ximing nodded with satisfaction, while Li Cheng said with a little embarrassment:

"This pupil technique can only be refined by [Scales Mu Xuan Liquid], this spiritual water is often only obtained in Mu Hai, and when I got the opportunity, the share was used by the younger generations first, and I didn't leave it for the family..."

Li Ximing glanced at him in surprise, and only replied:

"What is this, you can use your chance."

Except for Li Zhouwei, most of the people in the two generations of Chengming and Zhou Xing who have not received the charm are also decent, and they never thought that they have changed greatly now, Li Ximing is satisfied, and persuaded:

"Tongya Gong was also in his thirties in the past, and he worked hard."

He ignored Li Cheng's prevarication and only asked:

"Where is Zhou Wei?"

Li Cheng replied softly:

"Uncle Yu, I found a spiritual jade vein at home, located in the Helin Mountain Range, the head of the family sent someone to check, and the reserves are enough to build the white jade court needed to build the [Red Dust on the Court] of the "White Head Knocking Court Sutra".

"It's just that the jade in the sea is prosperous, and there is a demon of the jade real family in that vein, occupying the mountain, driving a group of little demons, and the head of the family needs to go on a trip."

Li Ximing frowned and said softly:

"Just be careful, don't fall for it."

"Uncle, don't worry!"

Li Cheng replied in harmony:

"After all, it's not far, Qingchi is done, and it's safe to go all the way."

When Li Ximing heard this, he frowned and asked:

"How's Qingchi? Si Yuanli did it? ”

Li Cheng smiled:

"That's right, Chi Buhua was killed by the third uncle in the reef sea, and now the lord of Changtian Peak [Tiange Xia] has been killed, and the adults drove the Xia ray away calmly, and the remaining six people can't even catch a shadow."

"[Rao Zi Scorpion] Neighbor Gu Rao killed Qingsong Island, Veda Ya opened a large array, Ning Hejing was invincible and died, [Qing Hu Sword] Si Yuanli appeared in the main hall, captured Chi Fubo and others who controlled the sect and treated the families poorly, and rescued the sect master..."

He paused and explained:

"Now that the sect master has broken through the retreat, it is Si Yuanli who is ruling the sect."

"Oh..."

The amount of information in these words was huge, and Li Ximing digested more than a dozen breaths before asking:

"What happened to the uncle?"

Li Cheng understood and said in a low voice:

"The adults endured the humiliation, took the Ning family and Chi Fu Boxu and the snake, and got the favor of Si Yuanli, and now they have also broken through the retreat to build a foundation."

"Good!"

Li Ximing breathed a sigh of relief, paused for a few breaths, and said with a smile:

"Brother Zhi'er is really amazing now!"

"Exactly!"

Li Cheng said in a low voice:

"I heard that the adult's spell is extremely mysterious, and it is better than the Gu Xia back then, known as the first person in the Qingchi technique, and now the master of the magic is the Heavenly Pavilion, which can be described as one of the best figures!"

"I heard that he has a long sword, but he never unsheathed, only uses spells against the enemy, the grapevine says that his swordsmanship is far better than spells, if someone can force him out of the sword, that is the sword breaks through the sky, can see the style of the sword fairy family."

Li Chengyan said this, his face showed a look of honor, and his eyes were smiling and happy.

"That's how it is!"

Li Ximing was suspicious, and secretly wondered in his heart:

"In the past, I always heard him say that Xi Jun's kendo talent was even higher, but I never thought that he was now advancing in swordsmanship and magic at the same time, to such a point! It's already far better than me! ”

He believed it and said with a smile:

"Good! The third brother has a very strong reputation, and if something happens in the future, he will be able to support the family. ”

Li Cheng responded, listening to the footsteps in front of the hall, Li Xuanxuan hurriedly came in from outside the hall, the old man was dressed in a light blue robe, with a white beard fluttering, and an old talisman pen that had been used for nearly a hundred years hung on his waist, and his eyes were earnest.

"Ming'er."

"Father!"

Li Ximing got up to greet him, and looked at the two people behind him, a man and a woman, both in their early tens, the boy had a slightly pointed chin and a lovely smile, and the girl was very polite, bowing her head and saying hello.

Although Li Ximing has been in retreat all year round, he also knows about Li Jiangqian and Li Quewan, looked at it with a smile, and asked in a low voice:

"Auntie's life jade can have signs?"

"Not really."

Li Xuanxuan went to see it day by day, and he was almost living in the ancestral hall, and said in a loud voice:

"In the past few years, although the jade has light and dark, there is no sign of cracking, and now it is warm and bright, and it looks fine."

"Good..."

In fact, Li Ximing's grandfather and grandson both understood that on Long Jun's side, this jade talisman was useless nine times out of ten, but they could comfort one or two at best, and they had a thought.

Li Ximing sat quietly, listening to a few people talk about the events of recent years one by one, until the sun set, the sky in the hall dimmed, and the mana lights jumped, illuminating the surroundings.

Waiting for a few people to finish speaking, Li Ximing laughed, shook the old man's hand, and said softly:

"Father, my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and my family is prosperous again, I will retreat and break through the Purple Mansion."

Li Xuanxuan paused, looked at the young man in the Taoist robe in front of him, the old man lowered his eyebrows, did not speak for a while, and only said in a low voice:

"You guys go down!"

Li Cheng looked serious and led the two children down.

Li Xuanxuan lost his father when he was born, and sent away the two elders before and after, and when Li Xuanfeng died, he sent away his peers, and saw the Yuanqing generation leave one by one, and the only Xiyue generation left at home was Li Ximing.

He was speechless for a while, the atmosphere in the hall became silent, and Li Ximing said softly:

"Ximing was ignorant when he was young, so he made his father, father, and uncle work hard... When my father was dying, I didn't see it, because it was because of great unfilial piety... All kinds of sins, sin is in my cowardice. ”

"In terms of sincerity and selflessness, I am not as good as the eldest brother, in terms of courage and bearing, I am not as good as the third brother, in terms of intelligence and agility, I am not as good as Jun'er, even if I am not afraid of danger, sensitive and self-respecting, I am not as good as Yuexiang."

His expression now did not hesitate, nor did he feel sorry for himself, he just spoke quietly:

"If any of them come to this position, it won't be so much miserable, just let me be an alchemist, and it is best to stay in the mountains at dusk."

"But I was so angry back then."

Li Xuanxuan said softly:

"Why not!"

Li Ximing laughed and said in a low voice:

"Father, do you remember that when I went to Xiao's house in the past, I was mistaken by the color of the wine, which caused my father to be disappointed?"

Li Xuanxuan only nodded silently, the old man was confused in his grandson's frank expression, and couldn't help but suspect that he went to break through the form of self-determination, but he couldn't say the words that were full of heart.

Li Ximing took a sip of tea, as if talking about some interesting things after dinner, and said in a low voice:

"That woman is actually a lady, I go to see her again and again, always my heart is hot, but every time I untie my pants, I start to be stunned, the soles of my feet are cold, I can't control myself in fear, I come in a hurry, and I leave in disappointment."

"But I still went to look for her again and again, and I was always afraid and couldn't, and finally I simply didn't untie my pants, and left after groping for one or two, she gradually became unwilling, and took the spirit wine to pour me into me, and when I woke up, I found that it was out of control."

"So Brother Jun asked me at that time, and I said I didn't know."

"Later, I broke through the foundation and woke up the old memories, and the events of that day reappeared in my mind, I was terrified, and when I was drunk, I pulled my pants tightly, and I didn't dare to let go, she tried hard for one or two, but she couldn't break my hand."

"Lingbu is tough, she can't cut it with scissors, so she has to untie her clothes and make a game, who is behind it, or she does it herself, things don't work out, no one cares."

He is now a peak foundation building monk, but he is not afraid to talk about it, and said softly:

"Grandpa, I didn't have a chance to explain it to him."

Li Xuanxuan was stunned by this matter, never spoke, looked at him blankly, and replied:

"Why don't you say it..."

"It doesn't make sense anymore."

Li Ximing looked sideways and said softly:

"I am a person with a heart and no courage, I have been cowardly for most of my life, and now I am not Ximing, there is nothing to lose, and my family has not yet attacked the Purple Mansion and fallen, and now it starts with me."

The young man got up from his position, Li Xuanxuan's expression was complicated, and he was sent all the way to the front of the hall, but before he could react, his voice trembled slightly, and the old man spoke:

"Ximing... Ping'er, he... I have never complained. ”

Li Ximing listened to it for a moment, did not answer him, arrived in front of the hall, respectfully bowed to the old man, and after three bows and nine bows, he said respectfully:

"Father, take care of your body."

He got up and turned into bright light, didn't dare to look at the old man more, and flew to Wushan, and the rest of Li Xuanxuan sat down in front of the steps, and his white beard trembled and let out several breaths in a row, which eased up a little.

It was getting late, and the old man felt cold in the moonlight.
