Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 10
Li Mutian walked to Tian's courtyard with his hands behind his back. Tian Yun, who was squatting and picking vegetables in the courtyard, had already looked up and saw that it was Li Mutian, so he smiled shyly and said:
"Uncle Li!"

Putting down the dishes in his hands, he stood up quickly and shouted into the room:

"Father! Uncle Kida is here."

"it's me."

Li Mutian replied with a smile, and looked Tian Yun up and down.

This girl has grown up in the past three years, with a protruding figure and a curvy body. Although she is not handsome, her facial features are correct, but she has a charming smile.

"Not bad, not bad." Li Mutian lifted the hand behind his back, but he was carrying a wild goose.

"Uncle Li is too polite."

Seeing Li Mutian carrying something, Tian Yun couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then looked carefully, and suddenly said in surprise:
"Is this a wild goose?"

"Rituals · Scholars' Hun Li" said: "Hun Li, the order is to accept. Use wild geese.

In the country of Yue, if the man wants to marry the woman, he will bring a wild goose to the door. This ceremony is called nacai.

Small farmers and small households can't stand too complicated rules. In Lijing Village, let alone geese, there are many people who come to propose marriage empty-handed.

"Do you care about my family's flat item?"

Li Mutian laughed, trying to tease her.

Tian Yun had already turned red from her ears to her neck. Out of her reserve and shyness, she faltered and faltered to cover it up, but she was afraid that Li Mutian would take it seriously, so she had no choice but to say:

"Rare!"

Tian Shoushui, who was in the house, just came out of the door, and he was greatly relieved when he heard the words, and the stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time fell to the ground.

How can a father not see that his daughter's heart is already attached to Li Xiangping!
It's just that this kid usually doesn't leak water, so people can't see his thoughts. Tian Shoushui is also afraid that his daughter will be embarrassed, so he keeps silent.

"Brother!" Tian Shoushui called out with a big laugh.

Tian Shoushui followed Li Mutian when he was five years old, and joined the army with Ren Ping'an when he was 12 years old. The three of them joined forces in the army to survive. Brothers are better than brothers.

Later, when he returned to the village, he killed the big family Yuan's family, and Jinpen washed his hands and started farming.Li Mutian even took care of him everywhere, divided the fields, and acted as a matchmaker for him to marry a wife.

He, Tian Shoushui, already shared weal and woe with the Li family, even Li Changhu was brought up by him himself, and he was closer than his own children.

If my daughter can marry into his family, how can I suffer?
Tian Yun didn't know how many twists and turns her father had gone through in her heart. When she saw her father coming out, she retreated like running away, which made Li Mutian burst into laughter.

"Brother, apart from this marriage, there is also an important matter." Tian Shoushui shook his head helplessly and said seriously.

"What's the matter?"

Li Mutian looked up suspiciously.

"A few days ago, I went up the mountain and passed the tomb of the ancestors of the Yuan family. I heard some movement. When I looked back, I didn't see anything."

"Is there any remaining members of the Yuan family?" Li Mutian raised his eyebrows and asked gloomily.

"I think there are still relatives who dare to sacrifice secretly."

Tian Shoushui felt uneasy in his heart, and quickly comforted himself.

"That's right, what you said makes sense." Li Mutian gradually relaxed, and nodded to Tian Shoushui: "I did ask back then, there are five members of the Yuan family, and there are no mistakes or omissions."

"Brother, I shouldn't have said such bad things on a good day!" Tian Shoushui slapped himself, making Li Mutian laugh softly.

Stepping out from Tian's house, Li Mutian walked on the dirt road with a calm expression, looking at Dali Mountain thoughtfully.

----

After discussing the marriage, Li Mutian returned to the courtyard with a whimper, across the front yard, only three brothers were chatting at the wooden table in the courtyard.

The youngest son, Li Chijing, is practicing with his eyes closed in his room. Although the moonlight is thin and slow during the day, Li Chijing is practicing hard day and night.No time wasted.

In the courtyard, Li Xiangping was looking at the "Jieyin Method" over and over again. The cloth was ravaged and creased, and the ink stains were scattered a lot.

"Third brother, you should be gentle." Li Tongya cursed softly with a smile, but the knife and pen in his hand kept engraving silently on the wooden slips.

Eldest brother Li Changhu settled accounts carefully with Tian Qi, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said:
"He's been tossing all morning."

Li Mutian stepped over the steps, took the tea from the wooden table, sat on the steps, and said casually:
"I went to Tian's house to propose marriage."

Hearing this, Li Xiangping jumped up from his chair and stared at his father anxiously.

"What did the Tian family say?"

"Tian Yun said she was rare." Li Mutian took a sip of tea slowly and sighed comfortably.

"Okay, okay, great." Li Xiangping nodded excitedly.

"Hahahahaha..." The two elder brothers couldn't help laughing.

"Listen." Li Mutian thought of other things, put down his teacup, and said seriously:

"Although the Immortal Road is incomparably miraculous, who knows what kind of horror and crisis lurks. Our Li family is thin. If something happens to you, who will inherit the Li family?"

Seeing that several young people are getting serious, Li Mutian waved his hands and said:
"This Fajian is both an opportunity for my family and a disaster for my family."

"I hurriedly engaged Changhu and got married, hoping that he would give birth to an heir soon, but I was afraid that when something happened, my Li family would still have a chance."

"It's the same for you." Li Mutian pointed to Li Xiangping, then looked at Li Tongya and sighed helplessly.

"As for Tongya, I'm old and I can't talk to you anymore. You have no intention of falling in love with these women in the village, but you have to leave some children..."

Li Tongya nodded silently, and after a few breaths he opened his mouth and said:

"Don't worry, Dad, I have a sense of proportion."

"That would be best."

Li Mutian wiped his white hair from the temples, feeling very worried.

I am almost 60 years old. Although I am in good health and have no worries about food and clothing, the world is impermanent, so I should arrange my family affairs earlier!
"Father!"

A crisp cry interrupted the depressing atmosphere in the courtyard, Li Chijing rushed out of the room and stood in front of his brothers.

"I'm about to refine 81 strands of moonlight and condense the Xuanjing wheel!" Li Chijing raised his head proudly.

"My family's Chijing is very good."

Li Mutian had heard his youngest son nagging about Xuanjinglun, the Gate of Fetal Breath, and couldn't help hugging him joyfully, looking at the child and laughing.

The brothers were also infected by the happy atmosphere, and they all smiled. Li Changhu even pinched Li Chijing's face, and didn't let go until the child complained repeatedly.

"The next time I receive the talisman will wait until the summer solstice."

Li Tongya looked at the happy courtyard and smiled, thinking:
"Hui Shuo Ri was not fully prepared and missed it. The next time is the summer solstice, just wait a few more days."

"The way of cultivating immortals, Li Tongya has come."

He quietly engraved "The Method of Receiving and Introducing" on the wooden slips, but his heart was turbulent and excited.
