Chapter 002: Uninvited Guest
"The ancestors are wide" This is the most common words that Li Xian has vaguely heard from the elderly people of the Li family these days, as for how wide it is, he can't figure it out for a while, and he doesn't bother to think about it.
Not to mention, that was more than a thousand years ago.
Sun Youcai only knows what it means to be eye-opening these days, the young master is the same as his subordinates all day long, he goes to the kitchen as soon as he arrives at the meal, the master doesn't say anything, and no one dares to care.
The young master often let him taste the unfinished things, not to mention, the taste is really good, much better than what he ate at the Li family.
He probably understands why this young master wants to eat by himself, the gap is too big, he has tasted the young master's craftsmanship, and then eating the Li family's food will taste like chewing wax.
Sun Youcai often sighed and muttered in his heart, the young master of a big family, either in business or to take a fame test, to become a petty official, and to wander around the kitchen all day long to eat, is it overkill, and he has lost his identity.
Sun Youcai, who has been in the Li family since he was a child, can't understand what these people with nobler backgrounds than themselves think.
"Young master, there are a lot of people in Qingyang City these days, it seems that the matter will be resolved, young master, you will be able to go out to eat, drink and have fun in a few days. On the way to the Li Family Ancestral Hall, Sun Youcai, who was following Li Xian, looked forward to the future of going out with this master.
Li Xian, who didn't put his mind on this, asked Sun Youcai: "Is our ancestor really powerful?"
Sun Youcai paused for a moment, and said in his heart that he could know so much at the moment, so he had to say: "Young master, it's not good to say, but I often hear those old people of the Li family say a few words, and the ancestors of the Li family are really powerful." ”
Li Xian walked forward stupidly, regretting how could this kind of thing be known from this little guy's mouth.
When the two arrived, in the vast Li family ancestral hall, dozens of people were standing in the center of the hall according to their generations.
There are all kinds of offerings on the incense table in the middle, and the big plaque with the four words of Qianqiu Weiye on the top is particularly eye-catching.
Such a grand scene is actually nothing important.
There have been so many turmoil in Qingyang City recently, and now the entire Qingyang City is still in danger, and no one knows when the days of panic all day will be the end.
According to the practice of the Li family, big and small things, and things that cannot be solved, will burn incense and pray in this Li family ancestral hall, praying for the ancestors of the Li family who shocked the entire Xuantian Continent thousands of years ago and blessed the entire Li family with all safety.
How brilliant it used to be, how lonely it is now, Li Xian in the crowd shook his head, what a group of unscrupulous descendants.
If something happens, I will only burn incense here and worship my ancestors.
Li Xian is not very worried about the situation in Qingyang City now, since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over righteousness, he deeply believes that there are so many prestigious sects in the Xuantian Continent, it is more than enough to deal with some evil demons, otherwise it is impossible for the Beiyang Dynasty to be peaceful for a hundred years under the protection of the sect.
He is too lazy to endure hardships, and when he embarks on the road of cultivating immortals and practicing martial arts, he can be a little young master who eats idle meals in the Li family with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to be a mess of everything that is self-respecting at every turn.
I don't know if there was a fantasy, or the portrait of the ancestor of the Li family above the incense case sent by the ghost, he really smiled at him, Li Xian looked up sharply, and saw the portrait that seemed to be really laughing.
Before Li Xian could recover from his momentary stunned thoughts, a guest arrived.
The Li family, who is now an ordinary official eunuch and a merchant in the market, did not dare to slack off on the representatives sent by the current saint of the Beiyang Dynasty to investigate the matter, and the current head of the Li family, Li Xian's uncle Li Mingtong, personally went to greet him.
The man was dressed in not a simple costume, with a brocade belt hanging from his waist, holding a long sword in his hand, and only nodded symbolically to the people who came out to greet the Li family in person with a smile on his face.
Didn't sit down, didn't greet politely, Wan Gui, who was a first-class master in the Beiyang Dynasty, asked Li Mingtong straight to the point, his eyes didn't stay on him at all, and he seemed to disdain to be a guest in this small Li family.
"Li Mingtong, you should know the recent events in Qingyang City, I was ordered to investigate the truth of this matter, and anyone needs to cooperate with my actions, you understand. ”
Li Mingtong, who arched his body, replied respectfully: "Of course, I understand that the Li family has a place where it can be effective, and it should do everything you have." ”
"This time, the whole Qingyang City has been full of strange things, ordinary animals have lost their minds in a short period of time, and unknown demons of all walks of life have caused chaos in all directions. According to my preliminary investigation, this matter has a lot to do with your Li family. ”
Rao didn't dare to go to Li Mingtong, who was looking at Wan Gui head-on, or raised his head suddenly, with an incomprehensible shocked expression.
The Li family is just an ordinary family of eunuchs and merchants, and the death of so many people and the great crime of turning Qingyang City into a hell on earth cannot be afforded by him, Li Mingtong, and hundreds of people up and down the Li family also can't afford it.
"Lord Wan, where do you start with this?" Li Mingtong, who was pale, subconsciously glanced at the people of the Li family, who were as silent as he was, waiting for this great disaster to befall the Li family, and the pressure on the Li family was unprecedented.
If he is a little careless, in front of the ancestors and ancestors of the Li family ancestral hall, the Li family will suffer a catastrophe, and he Li Mingtong will die a hundred deaths.
Wan Gui, Li Mingtong doesn't know much, you are a first-class guard with a knife in the Beiyang Dynasty, where can he be a small family head in Qingyang City, a big palm.
If you don't understand, you can't be sure of this, and I don't know if it's a murderous person or a cold-blooded and ruthless one-pin guard with a knife, what Wan Gui wants to do today.
Wan Gui, who had his back to Li Mingtong, said in the simplest tone that made everyone in the Li family tremble: "Li Mingtong, a thousand years ago, there was a supreme genius in the Li family, have you forgotten your ancestors?"
It was the most glorious era of the Li family in thousands of years, and as a child of the Li family, how could Li Mingtong forget.
"Lord Wan, as the Li family, I don't dare to forget the glory of the ancestors, but why would my lord talk about this thousand years ago?"
"A thousand years ago, that ancestor of the Li family was the leader of the righteous path of the Xuantian Continent, and his strength was the best in the world. I once fought with the first demon of the Demon Dao at that time for three days and three nights, and finally sealed that demon in the Windless Cliff thirty miles away from Qingyang City, am I not wrong?"
Every word is like Li Mingtong witnessing the supreme glory of his ancestors, Li Mingtong clenched his fists excitedly: "In the Xuantian Continent, this is a well-known thing, of course it is true." ”
"After my investigation, after the appearance of various demons in Qingyang City, the windless cliff has moved frequently, and the demonic aura is flourishing, there is no doubt that the demon who has been sealed for a thousand years is estimated to have some big moves. Back then, the ancestor of the Li family sealed the demon, so he naturally knew the method of sealing. According to my guess, eighty percent of the seal of the year was loosened after a thousand years, and at this time, the demon must be completely sealed in the windless cliff with the method of the year, and he will never be able to turn over, and the crisis in Qingyang City will naturally be solved. ”
Li Mingtong, who breathed a sigh of relief, stretched a lot of expressions on his face.
It's just that a bitter face came to my heart again.
"I'm ashamed not to hide it from my lordship. The matter of the ancestor of the Li family sealing that demon was already a thousand years ago. In the following thousands of years, the descendants of the Li family are not as good as the next generation, from the supreme strength that was the best in the world back then, to now they can only make a living doing business in this small Qingyang City, and occasionally the children of the clan have won the fame, which can be regarded as the glory of the ancestors. No one has the ability to embark on a martial arts path. Thousands of years have passed, and no one in the Li family has been able to have such qualifications to reproduce the glory of the ancestors. So many exercises have been lost, and the inheritance has been broken. Not to mention the sealing method created by the ancestors themselves, no one knows about it to this day. ”
"I naturally know what you said, your Li family has left behind the ancestral heirlooms passed down from the ancestors, maybe there will be such a sealing method left in these things. ”
Arching his body, Li Mingtong, who was finally able to take a breath, breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are things handed down by the ancestors, but they are all useless and useful, and I am afraid that they have been sold when the family was in decline. ”
"No need to talk nonsense. Wan Gui categorically interrupted Li Mingtong: "You take it out, whether it is useful or not, I have my own discernment." ”
Li Mingtong, who didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly asked people to take those ancestral things of the Li family.
Li Xian, who was standing at the back of the crowd, squeezed his eyebrows from time to time with Sun Youcai, who was standing outside the door and waiting, trying to find a chance to sneak out, and his stomach had already begun to protest.
Before he could find a chance to slip away, he didn't know what was going on, and he actually saw another person in that awesome Wan Gui.
Not only that, but the bloody killing aura that made people smell and change color frightened Li Xian and roared in his heart: "Don't give it to him, he's fake." ”
