Chapter 5 The Li Family

The Ming Dynasty was still martial, and there were three major family forces in Mizhi County, Yan'an Prefecture, namely the Erjia Li family in Tai'anli, the Li family of Yonghe Shilou and the Ai family.

Li Shouzhong belongs to the Li family of Tai'anli, the whole family was relocated from Tai'anli, Gansu, and was not surnamed Li, because of the merits of his ancestors, he was given the surname Li by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty. The Yonghe Shilou Li family from Shanxi is the original surname Li, and Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, went to Shanxi, so this family often regards itself as the orthodoxy of the Tang Emperor. On weekdays, the two Li families have never dealt with each other, and from time to time they fight openly and secretly over territory, interests and surnames. The Ai family, on the other hand, did not help each other, but only made a fortune quietly and quietly strengthened their power.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to develop and grow, the patriarch led a group of masters to move from the poor ravine to Mizhi County, laying a world, and then gradually growing, and finally became one of the three major forces of Mizhi. After the growth, the Li family of the second class in Tai'anli officially settled in the city and became the Li clan.

And the remaining members of the Li family in Tai'anli, the remaining members of the Tai'anli family, under the leadership of Li Shouzhong's ancestor, continued to stay in the countryside. Because almost all the masters in the clan were taken away, over time, the Li family of Li Jiqian Village slowly declined, just like some branches of the Li family scattered all over the country, and gradually became a side branch of the Li clan in Mizhi County.

As long as someone in the clan side branch of the clan can advance to the top ten in the big martial arts competition of the Li clan every 20 years in Tai'anli, they will be eligible to return to the clan, become a descendant of the clan, and share the resources of the clan.

Of course, participants must not be over 30 years old.

And just over 40 years ago, Li Jiqian produced an immortal genius - Li Shouzhong.

Li Shouzhong has a super strong comprehension since he was a child, with excellent roots, and he has practiced martial arts hard and seriously, and has become a martial arts idiot, so when he was about twenty years old, when the Li family in the village was ten years old, he defeated the group and became the first master of Li Jiqian's village, and the disciples in the clan were full of envy, jealousy and hatred for his achievements.

And after that year, he caught up with the clan grand competition, which was of great importance to the various side branches, and it was a good opportunity to go straight to the lineage.

As a result, Li Shouzhong, the first master of Li Jiqian's village, was ordered to lead several young children in the village to Mizhi County to participate in the clan competition with the ardent expectations of the whole village.

Unexpectedly, on the competition platform, facing an opponent who could have been easily defeated, Li Shouzhong suddenly went mad, lost his mind, and was easily defeated.

Many of the already jealous and dissatisfied family members in the village took the opportunity to fall into the well and slander continuously, which hit the arrogant Li Shouzhong deeply, and he himself was injured because of that madness and defeat, and his martial arts were lost.

From the dazzling star at the beginning to the downtrodden person today, the huge gap makes Li Shouzhong unbearable. In addition, he saw through the warmth of human affection and was disheartened, he did not want to continue to stay in the village, so he quietly left Li Jiqian Village with his wife and young eldest son, and lived in seclusion in Changliang Bay, fifty miles away.

Because Li Shouzhong was born in a big family after all, he had read, was knowledgeable, and had a lot of brains, plus he was kind and hardworking, and soon became the leading family in Changliang Bay.

Although the old patriarch of the village later sent someone to find him and persuade him to return to the village, Li Shouzhong refused, but he only promised that he was born as a member of the Li family and died as a ghost of the Li family.

Later, the family in the village was bigger, because Li Hongji's eldest brother and Li Guo's father died early, and these two boys were still young, and Li Shouzhong's family had no one to go.

Another ten years have passed, and just today, the patriarch of the village sent someone to send a summons and ordered Li Shouzhong to send his son Li Hongji and grandson Li Guo to participate in the family competition.

After receiving the call, Li Shouzhong lamented in his heart. I don't know if it's because he spoils Li Hongji too much, or if his head is full of grass, and he hasn't inherited a little bit of his own talent at all, he started practicing martial arts at the age of three, and thirteen years have passed, and even the most basic introductory martial arts of the Li family, the mountain pulling technique and even the cloud bow, have not practiced a little appearance, let alone other high-level martial arts.

Li Guo, the grandson who killed his son and looked like a wild monkey, although his martial arts talent is better than Li Hongji's, but his heart is ape-like, he can't calm down, his foundation is not real, and it is difficult to make a difference.

If these two boys go to the village to participate in the family competition on behalf of Li Shouzhong's family, it is estimated that they will be knocked out of the ring in the first round, so that Li Shouzhong will be humiliated again after forty years.

However, the clan is calling each other, and they can't help but go, how is this good?!

Li Shouzhong, who was entangled, tapped the cigarette pouch in his hand vigorously, and the entire main hall was suddenly filled with smoke.

"Ahem, ahem, Dad, are you going to rest, you want to smoke us to death!" Li Hongji coughed loudly from the smoke in the hall, and he blushed in protest.

"Oh!" Li Shouzhong, who came back to his senses, felt sorry for his son, hurriedly took off his cigarette pouch, and called the maid to open the door to breathe.

Li Hongji, who came to a relaxed position, said to Li Shouzhong with a smile: "Dad, it's not that my son is unfilial, it's not that my son is disobedient, but I'm really not a material for martial arts, my martial arts are low, and I can't get into the hall of elegance, what kind of family is big, my son doesn't have to go!"

When Li Shouzhong heard this, his eyes were confused and he was silent.

He was not angry because of Li Hongji's words, because he understood that this was the truth.

If Li Hongji and Li Guo are reluctantly forced to participate, it is a trivial matter to lose face, in case his son is injured, it will become a big deal, and if he is unlucky, he will hurt his life......

Li Shouzhong couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he made up his mind and said to Li Hongji: "Okay, if you don't go, you won't go!" It's just that Dad has to think about it, how to refuse this family call is a headache!"

When Li Hongji heard this, he immediately jumped up from the chair as if it was an amnesty, and his chubby body seemed a lot lighter. He stepped forward and grabbed Li Shouzhong's hand and said, "Let's go, Dad, let's eat, Guo'er and I are going to starve to death!"

Li Shouzhong looked at Li Hongji, shook his head with a wry smile, and had no choice but to stand up and let his son pull him towards the canteen next door. When he passed by Li Guo, who was still standing with his head down, his face sank, and he said coldly: "What are you still standing stupidly doing, let's eat!" and then walked straight out of the main room.

Li Guo hurriedly responded, made a grimace behind Li Shouzhong's back, and followed their father and son.

As the sun sets and twilight rises, flocks of birds hover, land, and return to their nests over the sparse woods of Lower Donkey Mountain.

At the home of Orion Gao Ting on the mountainside, Gao Jie and his mother were waiting for Gao Ting to come back for dinner.

At this time, Gao Jie was busy, he took out the large sieve from the kitchen, put it in an open place in the courtyard, then took off his shoes, sat cross-legged inside, and began to meditate like a monk.

Mother Gao sat in the corner of the yard with the soles of her shoes, she didn't understand what her son was doing, but her face was shining, with a smile, and her eyes glanced at her son from time to time, enjoying the warm twilight.

Gao Jie is naturally practicing the mysterious exercises taught by the nameless old man!

Since graduating from college, I don't know if it's because this exercise is too profound, or because the old man didn't teach it completely, Gao Jie's cultivation progress has been greatly reduced, and slowly, he feels that this exercise no longer has the slightest effect, so he gave up and devoted himself to the real life of living for the sake of living.

I haven't practiced for about seventeen or eight years, and the exercises are naturally a lot unfamiliar, but fortunately, Gao Jie's modified brain memory is excellent, and the exercises mantra have not been forgotten.

This mysterious old man didn't tell Gao Jie what his name was, he just followed the mantra and method, breathed the breath of heaven and earth, bathed in the afterglow of the sun, and practiced quietly. Half an hour later, the result is still the same as before, no progress at all.

Although Gao Jie didn't believe what the old man said at the beginning, this exercise was practiced to the realm of Dacheng, and he could take things from the air and kill the enemy with the sword, but after experiencing this perverted thing, he began to place a little hope on this exercise.

Because, he faintly felt that in that dangerous moment on the plane, he did not lose his mind due to fear like ordinary people, and when the beautiful flight attendants hugged and kissed, he was in the midst of extreme excitement and stimulation, and suddenly discovered the mysterious aura...... All of this may be related to the fact that I have cultivated that mysterious exercise.

"Perhaps, as long as you persist in cultivating, you will really make amazing discoveries, what miracles will happen......

"Even the crossing has been realized, what else is impossible......

"If you can practice to pick up things in the air, won't you be able to rob a bank......

Gao Jie's cultivation was fruitless, so he had to start thinking about it.

Suddenly, a beautiful silhouette appeared in his mind.

"Did she cross over too? Where is she? I forgot to ask her what her name is!" Because he dedicated his first kiss to this flight attendant, Gao Jie naturally had her place in his heart, and questions about her kept jumping out one after another.

"Donor, is this Gao Ting's home?" Suddenly, a female voice interrupted Gao Jie's thoughts.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, want the stewardess, the stewardess is coming?!" Gao Jie hurriedly opened his eyes in surprise, and saw a little nun standing outside the courtyard, with an ordinary appearance, looking at him with inquiring eyes.

Gao Jie said in his heart: "Could it be that she leaned over this nun? If it is true, she is much more unlucky than me, not only a nun in this life, but also a nun who is not good-looking!"

Gao Jie, who was anxious to verify, did not wait for his mother's answer, quickly jumped up from the sieve, ran to the gate of the courtyard, and asked the little nun hopefully, "Are you ...... Forehead...... That flight attendant?"

The nun's eyes were a little confused.

Gao Jie didn't give up and continued: "That...... Malaysia Airlines ...... Forehead...... Plane...... Remember?" he asked, using his right hand as he made the airplane fly.

This time, the little nun's eyes changed, but not surprise, but fright.

She thought to herself: "This little benefactor looks quite handsome, but I didn't expect it to be a fool, talking nonsense and not knowing what to do." No wonder I saw him sitting in the sieve just now, weird, I guess he is either stupid or sick!"

To be on the safe side, the little nun involuntarily took a few steps back.

At this time, Gao had already come over, she also heard her son's question, of course she didn't understand, and thought that her son was talking nonsense for a while, so she reached out and patted Gao Jie on the back of the head, and then gave the nun a salute and replied: "Yes, this is Gao Ting's home, and I am his insider." ”

The little nun vigilantly glanced at Gao Jie, who was lost and depressed on the side, and after making sure that there was no danger, she folded her hands and said to Gao: "Ah, it turned out to be the wife of Lord Gao, blessed by the Holy Mother! I came from the Temple of Our Lady of the Nine Heavens on the top of Yongfeng Mountain, and came to deliver the message on the order of the presiding master. Gao Ting's benefactor was seriously injured while hunting in Yongfeng Mountain this afternoon, and was rescued by the people in my temple, and is now being treated in the temple. ”
