Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Fox Blocks the Way
His father's illness was cured, and he was still alive, but Li Xiuyuan was relieved. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, he then returned to the mountain where He Shou Wujing was entrenched with his guards.
"Young Master, you see, this stone is really a piece of jade, but it is blocked by the stone skin, so it is no different from ordinary rocks. "Iron Mountain came from the side of the cliff carrying a huge black stone.
I saw that the stone with the size of the millstone was covered with a layer of black stone skin, and there was a faint green light in it.
"It seems that this thousand-year-old He Shou Wujing didn't lie to me. Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "Take it back, and find a jade carver to make some jade in the future." ”
"Yes, young master. Several guards immediately took the handle, carried the stone and walked down the mountain.
"Eldest young master, don't you bring back the 10,000 taels of silver?" Tie Shan said as he looked at the box containing silver coins next to him.
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved, and he waved his hand: "Take it back too, but the money in this box has to be used for good deeds, and it can't be used privately." ”
"Young Master, why is this?" Tie Shan said curiously.
"Because this is theoretically not our Li family's money, it's He Shou Wujing's money. Li Xiuyuan smiled suddenly: "We can't ignore the money of He Shou Wujing, if we use his money to do good deeds, we will kill two birds with one stone, it will gain merit, and our Li family will gain fame." ”
Tie Shan nodded and answered.
When the people came down the mountain, they passed halfway up the mountain.
Li Xiuyuan's footsteps stopped.
He saw that the old woodcutter was still chopping wood and refining pills.
This old woodcutter still doesn't know that he has been deceived by He Shou Wujing for thirty years, and he has practiced the fake pill for thirty years, and there is no immortal pill in the copper furnace.
"If I don't break it for him, I'm afraid he's going to practice alchemy here until he dies. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.
Thinking of this, he walked over
"It's you again, I'm not interested in taking care of you, leave quickly, don't disturb my alchemy. The old woodcutter said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't want to disturb your alchemy, I just want to remind you that you have been deceived by the so-called immortal, your practice in this copper furnace is not a pill at all, just an ordinary pebble, you don't want to practice for thirty years, even if you practice for three hundred years, it is impossible to practice the elixir, so I advise you not to waste this effort, or give up the plan to refine the elixir as soon as possible, and go home from the mountain." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about in this offspring? Is the pill I practiced fake?" The old woodcutter suddenly became furious: "Get out of here, you are so good and hateful in this offspring, and if you can't ask for immortal medicine, you will harm me if you can't practice the elixir." ”
Li Xiuyuan frowned and didn't say anything.
He felt that this old woodcutter was too obsessed, and he had been alchemy for thirty years, and now he told him that this pill was fake, and it seemed that he didn't believe it.
"I didn't harm you from becoming an elixir, I just reminded you. Li Xiuyuan said: "That's all I said, I said goodbye." ”
He had no intention of persuading the old woodcutter any further, but only told the truth and left.
The old woodcutter was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Xiuyuan and the others leaving so happily.
Then he muttered: "Tribulation, this person is the calamity I encountered in refining the Golden Pill, he must want to shake my determination to refine the Dan and let me open the Dan Furnace to take a look." ”
"But the old fairy said that the Dan furnace can't be opened, and once you open the elixir, you can't practice, you will fail, and you have to practice a full Jiazi, I remember it clearly. Well, I can't be deceived by his words, I have to strengthen my determination to do alchemy, there are still thirty years, and I will be able to become an immortal in another thirty years. ”
After muttering a few words, he continued to chop wood and alchemy to ensure that the fire was not extinguished.
After Li Xiuyuan went down the mountain, he glanced back.
Seeing that the old woodcutter had not yet woken up and descended the mountain, he couldn't help but shake his head, and then left without looking back.
"Pack up immediately, let's go back to Guobei County. ”
After returning to the cottage, Li Xiuyuan immediately commanded.
This time I came to Wangchuan Mountain just to play a play, who knew that so many things would happen on the road, and now that I have been out for a while, it is time to go back.
"Yes, young master. Iron Mountain answered, and began to prepare for his departure.
About half an hour later, the convoy was ready, starting from the cottage and driving all the way to the official road.
"You don't have to send it, go back. Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.
"Young Master, the little one will be sent not far away, and if you have any orders in the future, you will send someone to deliver a message. "Wu Fei, Han Meng took the men from the cottage to the official road and stopped.
"Master, the eldest young master has gone all the way. The others saluted.
Li Dafu sat on the carriage, in good spirits, his white hair turned black, not like a man nearly fifty years old, but like a prime of life less than thirty.
He waved his hand with a smile and said, "Go back, with my son here, Master Ben has no worries all the way." ”
Wu Fei and Han Meng are both people who have murders, especially Wu Fei, who killed Liu Xianling and is a robber, the Li family is an innocent family, so naturally they will not take Wu Fei and Han Meng with them, and can only be placed in Wangchuan Mountain as part of the Li family's hidden strength.
"By the way, I haven't seen my son for a few days, is there something going on in the house?"
"The house is very calm, nothing happened, but in the days when my father had an accident, the people in the house were a little restless. Li Xiuyuan said.
Li Dafu nodded and said: "The trees are falling and scattered, and it is normal for people to be restless. ”
"By the way, when the child went to Xiahe Village, he took in a maidservant. Li Xiuyuan said, "Because there were a lot of things during this time, I forgot to tell my father." ”
"It's just a maidservant, if my son likes it, what does it matter if I take ten or eight, I don't need to explain to my father, but you gave it to that woman with the golden lock you took out of the house last time?
Li Xiuyuan said: "This matter is a bit complicated, let's talk to my father in the future, let's talk about the personal maid that the child received in Xiahe Village, that personal maid is a ...... Widow. ”
"Widow?" Li Dafu paused for a moment, and then laughed: "I didn't expect Wu'er to have the style of ancient Mengde, not bad, not bad." ”
"Father doesn't think there's anything wrong?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Li Dafu said: "What's wrong with this, isn't she just a widow? There are many widows in this world, so don't widows look for men anymore? If there is a war and chaos, six or seven out of ten women in the world are widows, and they don't have to remarry, besides, they just enter our Li family to be a personal maidservant, and they are not concubines, and what makes a difference between being a widow or not, as long as my son sees it well, and my father will not mind." ”
"In the future, if my son does not like it and feels that the status of a widow is inappropriate, it will be better to give it to others in the future, and the eighteen concubines who used to be fathers will send out eleven of them, leaving only a few obedient to serve your mother. ”
Giving away?
A cold sweat appeared on Li Xiuyuan's forehead.
Sure enough, the native-born ancient people were terrible, and his father was no exception, he almost forgot that the ancients had the habit of giving maids, maids, and concubines indiscriminately.
I remember that in my previous life, a historical celebrity, Su Dongpo, gave a pregnant concubine to a friend for a horse, but the woman was strong and couldn't stand the insult and committed suicide.
Even the pregnant concubine is willing to give it away, which is terrible, which can be seen.
But I have to say that this trend is also very prevalent in this world.
"Young Master, there is a fox in front of you. ”
Suddenly, at this time, the Iron Mountain mount leading the way in front stopped, and his voice was a little panicked.
