Chapter 4: The Li Family
Lee House
"Li Yi, where have you been?" Li Wantao walked around the Li Mansion and found that Li Yi was not there, so he was angry and asked the house slave.
Hearing Li Wantao's question, the house slaves of the Li family gathered around, but no one dared to answer. The wrinkles on Li Wantao's face became thicker and thicker, and finally he couldn't help sighing.
Li Yi came back and asked him to come to my room. With that, he turned and left, and returned to his room.
Li Wantao couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, Li Yi was his most beloved child, and was once considered the most talented person since the prosperity of the Li family. Li Yi not only refined the beast soul body in the Li clan's unique martial arts beast soul technique at the age of six, although Li Yi's beast soul body still had many flaws. But it was already a terrifying thing for a six-year-old child to form a beast soul body in the Li family. Gradually, Li Yi became the family's greatest hope. But Li Yi, who is now twelve years old, has not made any progress at all, which is an incomparable blow to Li Wantao.
As the eldest son of the second generation of the Li family, Li Wantao has always been the pillar of the Li family. With a resolute personality, he is a leader of the Li family in all aspects and an indispensable figure of the Li family. His exercises are also ranked fourth in the entire family and first among the second generation. He is responsible for the prosperity of his family. But his child, Li Yi, for some reason, has not made any progress in the past six years. This made him unacceptable, and even more so that he could not raise his head in the family. Every time the clansmen talked about Li Yi, Li Wantao couldn't help but be angry.
Gradually, the people of the family did not mention Li Yi in front of Li Wantao. But as time passed, he became more and more disappointed in Li Yi, not to mention that the person who could form a beast soul body at the age of twelve was no longer a boast in the family, let alone in this capital. This made Li Wantao, who was bent on recovering the Li family, very uneasy in his heart! Countless uneasiness made Li Wantao feel bored for a while.
The Li family ran to the foot of the Jiuju Mountain to rebuild their home because they avoided the war, and they often think of the prosperous scenery of their childhood for Li Wantao, who was exiled in a foreign country. At that time, the Li family was prosperous, full of talents, and the clansmen were of the same heart. Those scenes passed before his eyes.
Thinking about the current Li clan, he couldn't help but sigh. "This damn war. Li Wantao clenched his fists fiercely.
It was getting dark, and at this time, Li Yi walked into the Li Mansion sweating profusely, and when he saw the house slaves in Li Yi's house, he said to Li Yi anxiously: "Young master, where have you been? The master has been waiting for you in the house for a day." Let's go see the master!"
Li Yi thought to himself: "It's not good, I'm going to be scolded by my father again." It must be that he didn't practice at home and was discovered by his father. Thinking of this, Li Yi hurriedly ran to the house. When he entered the house, Li Yi saw Li Wantao with an angry face.
Li Yi hurriedly said, "Son, I've seen my father." ”
Li Wantao looked at Li Yi and said, "Where did you go!"
Li Yi didn't answer, and Li Wan asked loudly: "Where did you go, did you go to Caodi Village again?" ”
Li Yi replied in a low voice, "The child is wrong. ”
Li Wantao roared again: "How many times have you said something wrong?" Why didn't you go to practice? Do you know what you're doing now? Do you want to ruin yourself? You're already twelve years old, look at your current martial arts cultivation. Shame on people! The genius boy of that day, how could the Li family's greatest hope become like this...!
Li Yi couldn't help but shed tears when he heard this, and his martial arts cultivation had not made any progress in six years. How could this not make Li Yi sad! It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's really strange, he just can't improve his cultivation.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is greedy for fun, but in fact, he works harder than anyone in the Li Mansion, but for some reason, he has not made any progress in his exercises in the past six years. Not only that, but he found that his ability was constantly degrading, if it weren't for his desperate cultivation in the past few years, he wouldn't even be able to form a beast soul body. But who would believe that? As the genius of the day, Li Wantian's son, he didn't want others to see him as an idiot who couldn't work hard. He would rather be seen as a playful person. That's why he behaves like this in front of others.
Seeing Li Yi crying, Li Wantao became even more angry, and shouted loudly: "What to cry and cry, you know how to cry!"
At this time, Li Yi felt a wave of grievances in his heart, and mustered up the courage to say loudly: "Father! It's not that the child doesn't work hard, it's true that the child can't do anything." It's not something you don't work hard for. ”
Li Yi looked at Li Wantao with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing that Li Yi, who didn't dare to say a word in front of him, was so abnormal today, Li Wantao was stunned. Suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Wantao said to Li Yi: "Is it wronged? What a genius boy, he has worked hard! Running to the grassland village to compete with wild children is called hard work! Are you practicing with him how to be a coolie? I heard that you can't even beat him! Ridiculous!"
Li Wantao stopped and looked at Li Yi for a while, and then said: "Go back and clean up in the evening, and tomorrow I will send you to the Heavenly Buddha Temple, and cultivate over there." Come back in half a year. ”
Li Wantao stopped halfway through, looked at Li Yi and continued: "Let's go back! ”
Li Yi heard Li Wantao's words and said, "Yes!" and walked out. Li Yi, who returned to his own room, felt bored for a while, remembering a lot of past events. What he has experienced over the years has made him very sad. Fortunately, in these sad days, he met Yang Yifan and Liu Hu, as well as Ma Xian and the little monkey, which made him a little happy.
"Master, do you really want Li Yi to go to the Heavenly Buddha Temple?" At this time, Li Yi's mother Cui Shi looked at Li Wantao with red eyes and said.
Seeing Cui's heartbroken expression, Li Wantao was silent for a while and said to Cui's: "Li Yi is my child, do you think I don't have heartache! When Li Yi was six years old, he had already reached the third layer of the earth soul and could form a beast soul body. Don't you think it's unusual with his talent as it is now?"
At this time, Cui's had already begun to choke. Li Wantao continued: "Madam, do you remember what happened six years ago? That is, Li Yi was kidnapped by some strange-shaped people. This has always been a disturbing thing for me. It was also from that time that Li Yi began to go downhill. ”
Hearing this, Cui Shi choked up and said, "What does this have to do with Li Yi going to the Heavenly Buddha Temple! At that time, Li Yi was very frightened. Poor my son. ”
Li Wantao has always felt uneasy about what happened at that time, and there are many questions that plague him. First of all, he had been looking for Li Yi for a long time and had no clue, and their body style was very weird, not like the exercises of this world at all, and the costumes were also very strange. Li Yi has remained at the third layer of the Earth Soul for six years since that year. What made him mind even more was that for some reason that year, the Divine Wall actually lost its defensive ability for a while. Nearly caused the entire capital to fall. What happened that year! Countless questions enveloped Li Wantao and made him very uneasy.
At this time, Li Wantao's face was blue and red. In the end, he seemed to have made up his mind and said to Cui's family: "Madam, let Li Yi go to the Heavenly Buddha Temple so that he can cultivate with peace of mind, and he can come back at any time, otherwise I will take my wife to see him every month." Li Yi has grown up, and he will take care of himself. ”
Hearing Li Wantao's words, Cui Shi didn't say anything.
Li Wantao saw that Cui's was not as sad as just now and said, "Madam, I will personally take Li Yi to the Heavenly Buddha Temple tomorrow. I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it now. You should also take a look at Li Yi. After speaking, Li Wantao walked out of the door.
Choi sighed and wiped the tears from his face. It doesn't help to think about what I'm continuing to say. She had no choice but to tidy up and go to Li Yi's house.
After Li Wantao walked out of his house, he went to the house of the Li family steward. Sitting in the middle of the room is Li Wantao's father, Li Tianyi. Next to him sat Li Yi's uncle Li Tianren and his fourth brother Li Wanwu.
Li Tianyi saw Li Wantao and said, "You have decided." ”
Li Wantao said firmly: "Yes, father." There have been so many strange things happening around us over the years. Moreover, after escaping to Kuju Mountain, we investigated for a long time, but we did not find out who attacked us that year. Who is this war fought against, and where do so many masters come from?"
Hearing this, everyone was silent, and they did have too many questions at this time.
Li Tianren was silent for a while and said, "We sent many people to the previous Li Mansion to reconnoitre, but none of them came back alive. This means that when we go out of the range of the Nine Mountains, those who attack us will appear. Are you sure you'll be okay when you walk out of the Nine Mountains, and will you be able to see the gods?" After speaking, he looked at Li Wantao.
Li Wantao said: "I think it's too difficult to find a god operator now, even if we find a god operator, he won't tell us the truth." ”
Li Tianren looked at Li Wantao suspiciously and said, "Then who are you looking for?"
Li Wantao said: "The Divine Operator has an apprentice named Ghost Master, although this person has been expelled from the Divine Operator, he still has a high level of Divine Arithmetic, and he is now within the Nine Mountains. ”
Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned. Li Tianyi was surprised and said, "Are you sure that the ghost master is within the range of the Nine Mountains?"
Li Wantao said confidently: "I'm not sure, but I want to try." ”
Li Wanwu said to Li Wantao worriedly: "Big brother, the ghost master is very evil and has a lot of quirks, whenever he asks him questions, he will make demands, and the demands are too vicious. What questions would you like to ask him?"
"The reason for this war. Who were the people who attacked us back then? Hearing Li Wantao's words, everyone present was stunned. Everyone was immersed in contemplation.
"Wan Tao, you have to think about this matter carefully, everyone in the world wants to know this question. We've been looking for so long and we don't have a clue, can we find out the reason for him? ”
Li Tianyi paused for a moment and seemed to have something to think of, and continued: "I have heard a lot of rumors about the ghost master. Even if he really knows what we want to know, we don't have the capital to make a deal with him. ”
At this time, Li Wanwu said to Li Wantao: "Regarding this mystery, I think there should be someone who knows, but these people either don't want to say it, or they can't say it." You have to think about this matter carefully, I don't agree to look into this matter. I care about Li Yi's affairs. ”
"I have thought about Li Yi's affairs, and I decided to let him go to the Heavenly Buddha Temple to practice. Li Wantao said.
Li Tianyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said to Li Wantao: "I think this is also a method, is this what you want to say to me today?"
Li Wantao said to Li Tianyi: "Yes, father. As for Li Yi's situation, it is beyond the scope of our ability. Now I can only hope that he will get the guidance of the senior monk over there and find the problem. ”
Li Tianyi sighed and said, "Okay." So let's decide. When is your time to go? ”
Li Wantao said: "We will leave tomorrow, I think it will be good for Li Yi to go early." ”
Li Tian's eyes were full of reluctance, Li Tianyi has always loved this grandson. If Li Yi goes to the Heavenly Buddha Temple, how can this not make him sad! Li Tianyi thought for a while and seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "I don't know when I will see him again." Well, so be it. ”
Li Tianyi paused and said, "Let me think about the matter of finding a ghost master first." Let's disperse today. ”
Hearing Li Tianyi's words, Li Wantao, Li Wanwu, and Li Tianren left the steward's room separately. Li Tianyi was the only one left in the house, and at this time, he couldn't help but feel uneasy about the future of the family. As soon as he thought about it, a soul beast appeared around him, and he couldn't see the appearance of this beast in the gloom, maybe it was the mysterious color emitted by this soul beast itself that made the people around him unable to see the appearance of this beast at all. Slowly, Li Tianyi closed his eyes, he seemed to have made up his mind, and his expression became extremely firm. Li Tianyi gave an order to the soul beast, "Puppet, from now on you are Li Yi's soul beast. To attach to Li Yi's body and protect him. ”
Then Li Tianyi pointed his finger at the soul beast's forehead, and from his finger came a true flow of true air down the soul beast. After that, the soul beast disappeared into the house. At this time, Li Tian sat in the room with a tired face and slowly closed his eyes, as if the use of True Qi just now had consumed a lot of his strength.
