"Drink!" a sword stabbed out, and a sword light slashed out with some subtlety, cutting a fly flying in the air in half. Li Liangcheng, a young man in white, couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, complacent thinking that he had been allowed to learn this set of Li family swordsmanship by the patriarch for a year, and soon after he got started, he was already more proficient than most of the brothers and sisters in the clan, and his strength and position were controlled very accurately, which showed that his kendo talent was very good.

Suddenly, I felt a "snap" on my head, and a deep voice sounded: "Ah Cheng, you are just too impetuous, look at you, what kind of expression is this, you are stinky again!"

Li Liangcheng didn't look at it, he knew that it was his father Li Feiyun who was beating him again, so he pouted: "Dad, don't keep knocking on my head like this, you won't be able to practice swords after you are stupid." ”

"Haha, I think you stinky boy just owe a beating!" Li Feiyun was also happy when he saw that his beloved son had indeed entered the country, and he hugged his son, and the sternness he had pretended to be just now was thrown aside: "Let's go, go back to the house for dinner." ”

Li Liangcheng nodded, so the father and son walked side by side towards their own mansion in the family.

"Dad, do you think that this time the clan will get good results than me?" asked Li Liangcheng.

"Well, Dad thinks it's no problem, with your current level, you can steadily enter the top three, and if you work hard, you may be able to win the second place. ”

"Dad, you have too little confidence in me, isn't it possible for me to take the first place?" the young man Li Liangcheng was dissatisfied with his father's answer.

Li Feiyun pondered for a while when he heard this, and said slowly: "Ah Cheng, I know that you have a high spirit, and you want to win the first place in the young talent competition in the clan, if you asked me the same question ten days ago, I would tell you that it is possible to get the first place, but now......"

Li Liangcheng saw his father's demeanor and said strangely: "Is there something wrong now?"

"Well, Li Yinjiu, the third son of your uncle's family, who has always been trained outside, came back a few days ago, and speaking of which, he is older than you, so you still have to call him cousin. I went to find your uncle yesterday to do an errand, and I accidentally saw your cousin practicing swords in the yard...... Alas, son, you may not be anyone's opponent. ”

When Li Liangcheng heard his father say this, he was not convinced, and secretly thought that it was really so powerful? Hmph! It was a mule or a horse, and he would know when the time came to pull it out and slip it on, but he didn't reply to his mouth, but said obediently: "I know, Dad, I will work hard." ”

Li Yunfei nodded, glanced at his son with deep meaning, and stopped talking.

After lunch, Li Liangcheng, a young man who had reached the seventh level of Qi cultivation period, came to a bamboo forest in the back mountain, for some reason, since Li Liangcheng came here by chance when he was a child, he immediately liked this bamboo forest, and when he came here, he always felt that his heart was calm, and there was always a feeling of getting twice the result with half the effort when he practiced the Qi method passed down by the cultivation family here.

And this place is so quiet as if it is isolated from the world, at any time, as long as Li Liangcheng comes here, he will never see even one other person, so in Li Liangcheng's heart, this bamboo forest is like a paradise, and when he hides inside, he immediately feels self-contained, feels very private and safe, Li Liangcheng likes this feeling.

Hearing the news from his father before, Li Liangcheng was very unconvinced, and he didn't believe that this cousin Li Yinjiu, who had never met before, would be so powerful, but his competitive spirit was stimulated, and he decided to practice his own before the big competition

Swordsmanship, when the time comes, must achieve a good result that can impress everyone. So I decided to work harder these days, not to be lazy, and to go to the Houshan bamboo forest to seize the time to practice my swordsmanship.

As usual, after Li Liangcheng entered the bamboo forest, he rested for a while, then sat on the ground, calmed his mind and adjusted his breathing, and then ran the family to practice the qi heart method, until the qi sense of the little aura in the dantian flowed through the meridians of the whole body, and after nine great weeks, he slowly felt that the whole body was full of vitality, and his perception of the surroundings gradually became acute.

Li Liangcheng knew that now was the best time to practice swordsmanship, so he stood up, pulled out the green steel sword hanging from his waist, pulled out his back with his chest in his chest, and prepared to start practicing from the starting pose.

At this time, a cyan light suddenly came from the bamboo forest, Li Liangcheng felt that this light was very dazzling, so he squinted his eyes sideways, and then heard a few "crackling" sounds, and then the light gradually dimmed, Li Liangcheng opened his eyes wide and looked towards the position where the light was shining just now.

A short figure appeared in the open space in the bamboo forest, with his back to Li Liangcheng, Li Liangcheng rubbed his eyes, and suddenly felt that this figure was so familiar and kind, but let him scratch his head, he couldn't remember where he had seen this back.

When this figure appeared clearly, it looked like a six or seven-year-old boy. Suddenly, the child turned around, and Li Liangcheng saw the eye-catching big nose on his face at first glance.

The boy smiled, and ran towards Li Liangcheng happily, shouting in his mouth: "Brother Cheng, I, Shi Meng, have finally passed through again, why did you get so much dream power this time...... Huh?"

The boy was stunned, and said for a moment: "Brother Cheng, why do you seem to have become a few years younger, and your appearance is a little different?"

"That's not right!" The big-nosed kid sniffed around: "It's all mirage outside this meson space!Brother Cheng, you're in a fantasy world, you know." ”

Li Liangcheng said strangely: "That, little brother, did we know each other before?"

Shi Meng said: "Nonsense! I don't know what I'm calling you Cheng Brother for? Do you think I, Shi Meng, am born young? Young Master Ben is in the Yunyin Sect, and he is also an ancestor! The sect's guardian beast knows! That's Ben Shao!"

"Ah, so powerful, is your name Shi Meng? Why do I only think you are familiar, but I can't remember when we met?" Li Liangcheng scratched his head.

Shi Meng was also worried, and said: "Alas, what I am coming over now is not the body, if it is a fighting force, it will definitely not be able to fight the mirage outside, fortunately you can enter this meson space, otherwise the old monster outside will immediately notice my existence, and when I think about it, how can I wake you up, this matter can only rely on your own strength now." ”

Li Liangcheng pursed his lips, and said in his heart What is it to wake me up, am I daydreaming every day now, is this teenager living in vain, I don't believe what Shi Meng said in my heart at all, I just feel that this little boy appears very strange, and I seem to like him a lot, so I endured the sentence "nonsense" and didn't say it.

"Oh, this thing is still there. Suddenly, Shi Meng noticed something in the bamboo forest, walked over and picked it up, Li Liangcheng was very curious to look over, and found that Shi Meng was holding a pink bead in his hand, which seemed to be somewhat damaged, and it was covered with fine cracks.

Shi Mengdao: "Brother Cheng...... Uh, no, what's your name, kid?"

Li Liangcheng said unhappily: "What a child, I am obviously older than you, my name is Li Liangcheng." ”

"Alas! This name is not a change of medicine, so let's call you Brother Cheng, this bead is the phantom bead I used to put here before, you almost used it bad last time, so you need to recover before you can use it, you take it with you, don't let people see, what to do after you go out, this bead will automatically absorb the mirage to repair itself, and when the bead recovers almost, I will sense, when the time comes, I will come to the bamboo forest to find you, with the help of the power of this phantom bead, show you the cause and effect, as for what will happen later, I have to look at your own。 After Shi Meng said this, his body slowly blurred, and at the same time he reached out and handed the phantom bead to Li Liangcheng.

Li Liangcheng took the phantom bead, heard Shi Meng sigh, and said to himself: "Alas, this time it is in vain, and the "Divination Sutra" that Qingxu wants is also in the soup for the time being, so I have to talk about it later, okay, I'll go back." After finishing speaking, Shi Meng gradually disappeared.

Li Liangcheng heard the Taoist name of "Qingxu" from Shi Meng's mouth, and suddenly moved in his heart for no reason, and a feeling of admiration appeared in his heart, and something seemed to flash in his mind, but these things flashed, Li Liangcheng didn't think of anything, and was stunned for a long time, Li Liangcheng sighed, thinking that there were too many strange things he encountered today, could it be that he was in a trance and daydreaming.

But Li Liangcheng looked at the pink phantom bead in his hand, but it was real, not an illusory thing.

Li Liangcheng thought to himself, he didn't have a clue about this matter, so he didn't care about it for now. Just follow what Shi Meng said, carry this phantom bead every day, see if it can really be repaired automatically, if it can really be repaired by itself, then make sense, at least this bead looks very mysterious, if you can understand it, I am afraid that it can come in handy in the future, anyway, I have no loss in this matter today, but it can be said that I have earned a magical bead in vain.

Thinking about it like this, Li Liangcheng was in a good mood again, so he put away the phantom bead and calmed down to continue to practice swordsmanship, as soon as he got started, Li Liangcheng felt that today's state was unexpectedly good, a green steel sword danced straight into flowers, endlessly, his heart was empty, and many subtleties had a new understanding, so he left all the strange things that happened before behind him, and immersed himself in swordsmanship.

After cultivating for two hours, Li Liangcheng felt a little tired, and it was not too early to see the time, so he went out of the bamboo forest. Leaving the back mountain, I slowly walked home.

Li Liangcheng passed by the door of a house and heard someone calling, "Young Master Yinjiu, the master and the lady have asked you to go over for dinner." Li Liangcheng glanced at the open door, and knew that this was Uncle Li Feihe's other courtyard, what kind of Yin Jiu Young Master was probably the third son who had just returned home from the uncle's family to practice, or his cousin, cousin, hehe, it is said that swordsmanship is very good.

"Well, got it, I'll be right over. An unhurried voice replied, and then a short man came out of the courtyard of the uncle's house, and saw him with an ordinary face and a thin build.

As soon as this person saw Li Liangcheng passing by the door, he suddenly stared at Li Liangcheng as if he remembered something, and smiled at him, revealing a mouth full of sharp white teeth.

When Li Liangcheng saw him like this, his heart was also tight, and he seemed to remember something, but he couldn't think clearly, but he was inexplicably full of disgust and fear for this skinny guy.
