Chapter 157: Ruthless Li Qingshui
"Is there anything I need help with?"
Li Xuangang asked.
However, the seventeenth uncle Li Qingshui waved his hand and said:
"There has not been a specific investigation into this matter, so I think it is enough to have me, the second brother and the third brother for the time being, and as for the future...... In the future, if you encounter something that needs you, we will naturally come to inform you. ”
Li Xuangang nodded and obeyed Li Qingshui's arrangement.
Then, Li Qinghuan took out a small jade bottle from the storage bag and handed it to Li Xuangang.
The latter took it with some doubts, and had some possible guesses in his mind, but he was not very sure.
Without waiting for him to open his mouth to confirm, Li Qinghuan explained in advance.
"This is the Wanfeng Pill recently refined by the Eighth Uncle, although the rate of Cheng Dan is not high, but a total of two batches have been refined, so it will also be enough for one of us to share a little, this is your share. This time I came to Limeng Island, and the fifth uncle specially asked me to bring it to you. ”
Solemnly taking the jade bottle containing the third-order elixir Wanfeng Dan, Li Xuangang did not open it for the first time to see the specific situation of the elixir inside, but sighed:
"Eighth Uncle has already entered the third-order alchemist?"
Li Qingyang, who has always been more capable than other clansmen, replied:
"That's right, most of the year ago, the eighth uncle had already completed the refining of the Wanfeng Pill and successfully entered the threshold of a third-order alchemist. With the passage of time, I think the rate of Cheng Dan will increase. ”
Originally, the news that the eighth uncle Li Changji had entered the third-order alchemist was enough to surprise Li Xuangang, but he didn't expect the second uncle Li Qingyang to tell him even better news next.
That is, the seventh uncle Li Changzhi also completed the refining of a third-order magic weapon in the family refining pavilion in Wujiangfang City, although this magic weapon only has the grade of the third-order lower grade, but this marks that Li Changzhi has also successfully entered the ranks of third-order refiners.
In this way, the Li family of Taiqiu Mountain has both a third-order alchemist and a third-order alchemist.
This is undoubtedly of great significance to the entire Li family in Taiqiu Mountain.
A third-order alchemist plus a third-order alchemist can bring a lot of benefits to the family.
Putting away the jade bottle and suppressing the joy in his heart, Li Xuangang then told Li Qingyang and the three about his specific experience in Donghaifang City this year.
Maybe these things will also help them investigate the clues of the treasure ship.
But just when Li Xuangang was talking about his agreement with Zhu Guangshou, Li Qingshui suddenly interrupted him.
Although Li Qingshui, who ranks seventeenth in the Qing Dynasty, looks like a scholar and a scribe, those who know him know that he is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is ruthless!
Many years ago, Li Xuangang had learned the ruthless side of Uncle Seventeen on the Tianqianhuan hearth.
With Li Qingshui's years of experience in pit people, he just sensed something wrong from Li Xuangang's simple description.
So after he interrupted Li Xuangang's narration, he asked him to talk in detail about all the relevant details of his relationship with Zhu Guangshou. Especially the words that Zhu Guangshou said to him in the last meeting between them.
Li Xuangang knew that the seventeenth uncle Li Qingshui was not a good person, and he must have sensed something from it.
So he didn't hide it at all, and retold the conversation between Zhu Guangshou and him in its original form.
For the monk's powerful memory, it is naturally not a big problem to reproduce a scene he has experienced, and Li Xuangang even told all the changes in Zhu Guangshou's expression at that time, and the rise and fall of his tone.
After listening, Li Qingyang and Li Qinghuan didn't feel anything, although there was a faint worry, but on the whole, they felt that this matter was reasonable and reasonable, and they couldn't find any flaws.
But Li Qingshui sat on the side, his face was like water, and his expression was cold.
The right hand, which was placed on the stone table, tapped slowly and rhythmically on the tabletop, making a low crashing sound.
The matter has been finished, Li Xuangang just sat quietly, waiting for Uncle Seventeen's conclusion.
After a long time, Li Qingshui let out a sneer, he raised his head slightly, and asked Li Xuangang:
"Xuan Gang, what do you think about this matter?"
Li Xuangang: "In fact, I have been hesitating about this matter, if Zhu Guangshou hadn't coaxed me, a cave mansion left by a monk who had at least the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building must have a lot of good things." But I also know that this matter must not be as simple as he said, and he must still have some things to hide from me, and maybe those things that are hidden from me are quite bad for me. ”
Li Qingshui didn't make a comment, raised the fingers on the table a little higher, and motioned for Li Xuangang to continue.
"Originally, my plan was to make a final decision after meeting the other two foundation building period monks, according to my temperament, there is a high probability that I will not choose to participate in this matter, and to meet them, just to find out what is behind Zhu Guangshou's calculations. ”
Zhu Guangshou and the female cultivator in the foundation building period who he called the second sister never expected Li Xuangang to be so cautious, although Li Xuangang was also very interested in the items in the ruin cave, but he never planned to risk participating in this matter.
In fact, in addition to the fact that Li Xuangang made such a decision because he was cautious by nature and adhered to the truth that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, the 30,000 spirit stones in the boundary source space were also a major reason.
For the time being, he still doesn't lack the resources he needs to cultivate!
But after Li Qingshui listened to his answer, he smiled evilly and said slowly:
"No, Xuan Gang! You need to participate in this operation, this time it may be an opportunity for the four of us. ”
"Xuan Gang, didn't you say that Zhu Guangshou in the Qi Refining Period had a bloody aura that could not be concealed, which just showed that he often participated in killing. Hey.... Hey... Isn't it just murder?"
A much richer evil aura than Zhu Guangshou was revealed from Li Qingshui, and its richness couldn't help but make Li Xuangang secretly marvel in his heart.
How much killing did it take to condense this evil qi?
But fortunately, this evil aura only appeared for a moment, and then it was perfectly retracted into his body by Li Qingshui.
Without revealing a single thing, he regained his scholarly appearance.
And Li Qingyang and Li Qinghuan, who were sitting next to Li Qingshui, were no stranger to this.
They are members of the same generation and have grown up together since childhood, so they naturally know more about some of the experiences of this seventeenth brother than Li Xuangang.
Li Qingshui took out a new jade bottle from the storage bag, handed it to Li Xuangang, and said:
"There are two pills in this, one red and one black, Xuan Gang, when you are going to start an operation with them, take the black pill in advance, and crush the other red pill, so you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter. ”
Although there were still some doubts in his heart, Li Xuangang still obediently took the jade bottle.
Then, Li Qingyang stood up and decided not to stay here any longer.
He summoned Li Qinghuan and Li Qingshui and prepared to leave this cave.
Li Xuangang sent them out of the gate of the cave, but he couldn't help but ask:
"Second uncle, don't you really need me to act together?"
Li Qingyang turned around, and a deep and strong voice came out:
"We only have a rough idea of this matter now, and there is no need to use too many manpower for the time being, it is enough for me and your third uncle and seventeenth uncle to investigate that clue. ”
After speaking, Li Qingyang waved his hand, and finally decided: "That's it!"
After finishing speaking, he took Li Qinghuan and Li Qingshui and turned around and left from here, and Li Xuangang stopped in place for a while, and then returned to his cave.
He sat cross-legged on the stone bed, took out the jade bottle that Uncle Li Qingshui had just given him, tilted the bottle, and the next moment, as Li Qingshui narrated, the two pills, one black and one red, lay quietly in the palm of his hand.
Leaned his face closer, observed carefully, and sniffed the smell of the two pills with his nose at the end, because Li Xuangang himself was a talented alchemist, so after a while, he probably guessed the specific origin of these two pills.
An inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and then he put the two pills back into the jade bottle, carefully storing them in his storage bag.
......
On the other side, Li Qingyang and the three of them passed through the entire Donghaifang City and came to a coast near the east of Meng Island, where there was no one around.
Although Li Qinghuan, who ranked third in the Qing generation, was the highest in cultivation, the leader was Li Qingyang, who was in the early stage of cultivating for the foundation, which was not only affected by the prestige from childhood to adulthood, but of course there were other more important reasons.
The three of them stood on a huge reef by the sea, and the rough waves of the East China Sea in front of them were turning into huge waves one after another.
Before officially leaving, Li Qingyang turned his head and glanced at Li Qingshui, who was ranked seventeenth, with some deep meaning in his eyes.
Because he knew that even if there was no problem with Zhu Guangshou, I am afraid that the seventeenth brother would still do the same.
In other words, since Li Qingshui knew that there was Zhu Guangshou, it was no longer Zhu Guangshou who was calculating Li Xuangang's business, but Li Qingshui's calculating the other party's business!
According to Li Qingyang's nature, he didn't agree with some of Li Qingshui's practices, but his experience of cultivating for hundreds of years told him that Li Qingshui was sometimes right, so he originally wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he forced himself to swallow them.
Now the head of the family is the elder monk, and since the fifth uncle has never said anything about this matter, there is no need for him to interfere too much.
In the final analysis, all Li Qingshui's actions are still for the entire family.
Everything is for the benefit of Taiqiu Mountain!
Li Qinghuan, who was standing between the two, looked at his brother and his brother, and actually knew everything in his heart.
But he only showed a wry smile and didn't say anything either.
The three of them carefully observed the surrounding environment, and after making sure that there was no one else, they hid their bodies and turned into three rays of light and flew towards the depths of the East China Sea.
