Chapter 278: Sitting on the riverside, dying when he saw the sun
On the banks of the Qinhua River.
In the deep night, the river made a roaring sound.
An old man sits alone on the bluestone, looking at the vicissitudes of life, looking at the river rolling eastward.
Behind him, a middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the old man's back full of admiration.
The night wind howled, lapping at the wrinkled face.
In the past, it was only a breeze blowing on his face, but at this moment, Li Jinhuang felt a little cold, and his body trembled.
Li Yingzhang's face was concerned, "Ancestor, it's windy here, let's go back!" ”
Li Jinhuang raised his hand and rejected the offer.
The raised hand did not let go, but stretched out forward, as if to touch the water of the rolling river beneath him.
"Yingzhang, the old man's life is coming to an end, and I deeply feel the difficulties of life."
"Just like the endless Yangtze River, although there is an ambition to go east to the sea, the process is long and the future is difficult."
"However, there will always be a time when the river flows eastward into the sea, but my ambition to prosper my family is difficult to achieve, and it is regrettable for life."
The old man's words were in his ears, but they seemed to be in his heart.
In this life, the ancestor Li Jinhuang put all his thoughts on revitalizing the Qinhua Li family.
When he died of old age, he still ran up and down, contacting allies, but he was afraid that after he went, the Li family would be like the Fu family.
It can be said that he did his best, and then died.
In his life, it seems to outsiders to be extremely beautiful.
But only those close to him know how unwilling Li Jinhuang is in his heart under the scenery.
Shou doesn't want him!
Li Yingzhang only felt as if his heart had been grabbed, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He choked up and said, "The heart of the ancestor, the grandson can understand one or two. The ancestor is smart and wise, his vision is like a torch, and he is eager to revitalize the family, which is indeed the ambition of my generation. ”
However, it is not easy for a trickle of water to become a river. When you rush forward and merge into the sea, you will feel that you are insignificant. ”
"If you are like me, you are all a mayfly in heaven and earth."
"The revitalization and growth of the family is not in the first or second generation of you and me, but in the long term, and the incense is endless."
The morning breeze blows, and there are waterfowl taking off, and there are countless splashes.
"For a long time, the incense will not stop ......"
Li Jinhuang muttered this, and suddenly burst into laughter!
"Hahaha......"
The laughter rumbled for dozens of miles.
On the Qinhua River, the swimming fish are churning, the water birds are startled, and the humble scattered cultivators who live on both sides of the river are stunned and wake up from their dreams.
About seven breaths later.
The laughter faded away.
Li Jinhuang was pleased: "It seems that the practice of "Nine Returns to the Yuan" has indeed honed your temperament. ”
"It's the ancestor who teaches well!"
Li Jinhuang smiled, and with a move of his hand, a sheathed long sword appeared in his hand.
The sword is three feet seven inches long, and the scabbard is engraved with layers of ripples, and it is made of the skin of a shark.
At this moment, the sword was not unsheathed, but it exuded a powerful aura fluctuation.
"In that case, then you are qualified to inherit this dragon sword."
Li Yingzhang was shocked and said: "This is your personal magic weapon of the ancestor, how can your grandson inherit it during the Qi refining period?" ”
He could see that the sword had not been sacrificed in blood.
He can't inherit this sword with the same bloodline.
However, in Li Jinhuang's scorching gaze, he still mustered up the courage to take the long sword.
"Grandson will succeed in building a foundation and will not fall into the power of the dragon sword!"
"Very good, from now on, you will be the head of the Qinhua Li family!"
Li Jinhuang nodded with satisfaction.
Turning sideways, a pair of vicissitudes of life looked to the east.
A deep darkness shrouded the boundless river, and the rolling water continued to move eastward.
Suddenly!
There was a pale golden glow rising from the vast sky.
The darkness is gone, and the light blooms.
Thousands of blue waves, the morning breeze curling.
Under this beautiful scene, Li Yingzhang lost his mind for a moment.
When he came to his senses, there was no sound from anyone in front of him.
A sense of pathos haunts my heart.
"Grandson Li Yingzhang, send off the ancestor!"
……
On Danxia Peak.
In the Luo Tian Palace, Luo Chen played with the topaz slip in his hand, and there was an inexplicable heaviness in his heart.
"Is it necessary to be so resolute, old fellow?"
He can understand, but he can't empathize with Li Jinhuang's choice.
Sighing, Luo Chen carefully took the topaz Jane into his arms.
There was the sound of crisp footsteps outside the door.
After a while, Zhou Yuanli entered the main hall.
"President Yu, the Li family of Qinhuajiang sent a sad report, and the patriarch Li Jinhuang died early this morning."
"At that time, he sat on the riverside and died when he saw the early sun."
"Farewell to his grandson Li Yingzhang, many scattered cultivators on both sides of the strait."
"Finally dead?" Luo Chen muttered softly.
The voice is soft.
But Yuan Dongsheng, as a ninth-layer master of qi refining, heard it very clearly in this empty hall.
He was stunned.
What does it mean to be "finally dead"?
Could it be that the president was looking forward to the man's death?
He gritted his teeth, threw out those thoughts that he shouldn't have, and asked respectfully, "Does the president want to go on a trip himself?" ”
Many people know that Luo Chen has a good relationship with Li Jinhuang.
Since the marriage was first confirmed, there has been a lot of movement.
That's why he asked.
Unexpectedly, Luo Chen shook his head.
"I won't go, my old friend has just left, and his soul has flown out of the sky, and going will only add to the sadness."
"The custom here is to stop the spirit for seven days, right?"
Zhou Yuanli nodded, "That's true, the monk believes that those who have reached the end of their lives will return to their souls seven days after death." Therefore, the mortuary will be suspended for seven days until the soul returns. ”
"This custom is most prevalent in the Xiuxian family."
Oh, yes!
My generation is really cultivating, or going with the sky, or rising against the sky.
He was extremely honored and disgraced during his lifetime, and buried his bones after his death.
Who cares about what happens after the death.
Only the Immortal Cultivation Family will believe in this matter.
Luo Chen said lightly: "Then I'll give him a ride when I'm the first seven!" ”
"But this news, you can pass it on and let Yuan Dongsheng and his wife go back to their parents' house to fulfill their filial piety."
"Yes!"
Zhou Yuanli immediately took the order and left.
During the year that Luo Chen was in retreat, the marriage between Luo Tianhui and the Li family had been implemented.
Yaotang Yuan Dongsheng and Li Jinhuang's granddaughter Li Yingjun formed a marriage and became Taoist couples with each other.
When the news reached Li Yingjun's ears, she burst into tears on the spot.
After Yuan Dongsheng explained the trivial matters of the medicine hall, he accompanied her back to the Li family in Qinhuajiang.
And that's not all.
Under Murong Qinglian's arrangement, Luo Tianhui also sent a deserved gift.
This shows the intimacy of the relationship between the two families!
……
The death of a monk in the middle of the foundation building did not make any waves in Tianlan Immortal City.
But for those who are related, the news still spreads at a speed like the wind.
Dan Yuan Gate!
The head Dan Yuanzi learned the news from the mourners.
At that moment, he was ecstatic!
"I have been cultivating for more than 150 years, but now I have only built four layers of foundation, all because of insufficient financial resources and insufficient resources."
"If I can take the Li family's medicine fields, the cost of Yangyuan Dan can be controlled. At that time, it may not be impossible to sweep away the decline and beat Luo Tianhui and the Zheng family! ”
Dan Yuanzi's expression was extremely excited.
He's not a fool.
The competition between Luo Tianhui and the Zheng family was still in full swing at the beginning, but after fighting for so long, the two families not only did not hurt their muscles and bones, but made more and more money.
And these people who sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight are about to starve to death.
This is obvious, it is the two families who are fighting tacitly.
"Damn!"
But he didn't dare to provoke these two forces, one was powerful, and the other was backed by the ice castle, neither of which he could afford to provoke.
If he could control the cost and let Yangyuan Dan regain a place in Tianlan's low-grade pills, then he would be able to make a lot of money.
You must know that the opponents of those two dry wastes are not just Danyuanmen.
The market has been emptied.
Thinking that Luo Tian would earn hundreds of thousands a year, and so did the Zheng family, Dan Yuanzi's eyes were red with envy.
"If I can earn so much, I may have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the golden pill period in this life."
He immediately summoned the doorman!
But when the doormen gathered one after another, he hesitated again.
"Li Jinhuang, an old horseman, has always been thoughtful in dealing with people, how could he go west without making any preparations?"
"What if he didn't die at the end of his life, but faked his death, deliberately leading me to trouble in advance?"
Come to think of it.
Cold sweat involuntarily seeped all over my back.
"Yes, yes!"
"This old horseman is extremely insidious, and it is very likely that he wants to finish his work before his life is over!"
"Completely for the family, solve the troubles."
"I must not be fooled!"
"This matter has to be considered in the long run."
With a move in his mind, he sent his disciples back, leaving only a few henchmen.
"You go and inquire about the specific situation when Li Jinhuang sat down that day!"
"You go to contact the Tanqiu Hu family, they have an undying feud with the Li family, and they will definitely not be able to bear it."
"That's right!"
"Luo Tianhui can't ignore it, I heard that both of them are married."
Dan Motoko kept pacing in the hall, and everything came to his mind like a storm.
There is calm in every big event!
This time may be the most important decision to change his path.
There's no room for error!
……
The name of Tanqiu is mound, but it is actually not small at all.
In the past, the sandalwood mound was planted with red sandalwood, and the scenery was beautiful and beautiful.
But with the emergence of three foundations in succession of the Hu family, the weather of Tanqiu not only did not become stronger, but gradually declined.
Today's sandalwood hills are rocky and rocky, with layers of dead wood.
Some seemingly gorgeous palaces lie across it, which is very discordant and even a little shocking.
The sandalwood that used to be all over the mountain, in order to build a foundation for the fourth child, was all cut down and used for resources.
Today, the three brothers of the Hu family are together.
Even Hu Changxi, the boss of the Hu family who was in retreat, broke through.
Everything, just for the Qinhua Li family!
"My father and third brother died at the hands of Li Jinhuang, and I will avenge this revenge!" The old erhu Chang was angry as his name suggested, with great anger between his words, as if any little thing would make him angry.
The fourth elder Hu Changle shook his head, "Second brother, the revenge of the gentleman, the ninth generation can still be avenged, there is no need to rush this matter." ”
Hu Chang glared at him angrily, "You're not in a hurry, of course you're not in a hurry!" At that time, you were still young, and you didn't know what our two families were waiting for. I only know that I take revenge from morning to night! ”
Hu Changle pursed his lips and did not argue with him.
Instead, he said to himself:
"Revenge needs to be very thorough before it can be done."
"First of all, we have to consider the possibility of Li Jinhuang's fraudulent death. At that time, the ancestor of the Jindan of the Heavenly Daowu who had little longevity deceived him to death, dragging the new Jindan of the hostile sect to the end, and finally the Tiandaowu who had exhausted his qi came back to life. I don't want this kind of thing to happen to our Hu family. ”
Hu Chang was stunned for a moment.
The old story of Tiandaowu and Jackdaw Pond has been circulating in the Jade Ding Domain for a long time.
Naturally, he knew that very well.
For example, today there is another Jindan ancestor in the knife dock, and the prosperity of the sect is second only to the seven sects of Yuding.
And the invincible Jackdaw Pond has long been destroyed by the mountain gate, and the black magpie flies south, no longer in its former glory.
The fourth Hu Changle glanced at him and continued:
"Secondly, we must pay attention to the movements and attitudes of the Li family's allies. Qingdan Valley has an old relationship with the Li family, and we will be in charge of Xiancheng in the next ten years, if we still want to mix in Xiancheng, we must take into account Qingdan Gu's attitude. ”
Hu Chang couldn't help but ask: "Dazong attitude, how can we figure it out?" ”
"It's very simple, let's see if Qingdan Valley will send someone to attend the funeral for a small family that has not built a foundation and true cultivation."
Hu Changle said confidently.
Hu Chang listened angrily, and suddenly realized.
In ordinary times, the big sects will not be handed over.
Unless the relationship is particularly good, people will be sent to watch the ceremony when the following forces hold ceremonies, faint ceremonies, and funerals.
"There are also Luo Tianhui, Danyuanmen, and the Geng family. These three families have a very good relationship with the Li family, either by marriage or cooperation, and they have also advanced and retreated with each other. ”
"Especially the Na Luo Tian Hui! In the past few years, Li Jinhuang has been bothering to frantically tie up this new force. ”
"We must watch their movements!"
Hu Chang frowned angrily and said puzzledly: "But it's just a nouveau riche, why should you care so much? ”
Hu Changle was helpless, "People build a foundation with one door and four foundations, do you think you want to care?" ”
Hu Chang opened his mouth angrily and was speechless for a while.
He just wants to take revenge, why is it so troublesome!
"Is there a last?"
"Absolutely!"
Hu Changle sneered, "The Li family is not a family of goodness, and there are many enemies besides us. If you can connect these enemies and fight together when the time comes, even if the allies such as Luo Tianhui, Danyuanmen, and the Geng family help each other, it will be just a chicken and a dog! ”
"Ahh Yeah! Hu Chang finally heard the news that made him happy, "When the time comes, we will kill it together, and kill the Li family without leaving any piece of armor, and the blood stains the Qinhua River!" ”
Alas......
Hu Changle sighed, he didn't know if his father really calculated each other's personalities when he named their four brothers "Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Happiness".
The second brother is really impulsive and irritable, and has no brains.
But he is alive and well.
And the third brother Hu Changai, who had no last resort and did not think about victory and defeat, died tragically under Li Jinhuang's sword.
If the third brother is still there, the huge Hu family, why is it decaying!
Not to mention that he will not be an old man, all kinds of analysis, all kinds of calculations.
Now the Tanqiu Hu family seems to have a three-door foundation, but it is just a brocade of flowers and cooking oil on fire!
There is no superstructure, but no substructure.
The name of the Xiuxian family is about to die in name.
In his heart, Hu Changle looked at Hu Changxi, who had been silent.
"Big brother, what do you think?"
Hu Changxi's face was cold, and he didn't see any joy at all.
Since his father and third brother were beheaded by Li Jinhuang with a sword, he has never been happy.
His eyes fell on Hu Changle's face, and there was no lack of self-satisfaction that could not be hidden.
The old man is very smart.
But the character is ......
He spoke slowly, "I think you're doing something wrong. ”
