Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1020 Hongxia
'【The Emperor's Letter to Emperor Guang. '

Li Ximing glanced at it and praised:

"It is more suitable. Although they are both 'Red Broken Arrowheads', the grade cannot be seen, but the inheritance between Wei and Li is clear. The [Ten Thousand Riders Zhu Guang Emperor's Book] is obviously more orthodox than the [Red Guard General's Law Book]!"

Li Zhouwei nodded and replied:
"What's more, all immortal skills have a certain number. The [Ten Thousand Chariots Zhu Guang Emperor's Book] requires 220, while the [Chi Tiao Guard General's Law Scripture] requires 181. The difference is quite large."

"only…"

"When I exchanged for the [Heavenly God Scroll], there were already 175 left. I destroyed the sect and killed Cheng Yan, and got 57... a total of 232..."

Li Ximing thought for a moment and replied with some emotion:

"There aren't many left."

Li Zhouwei smiled slightly and said:
"It's a good thing to be able to use it. What's worrying is that I have a vast amount of skills and secrets but can't use them. As for immortal skills, I will get them sooner or later."

He raised his hand and took out three incense sticks from his sleeve, but then paused and replied:

"Although I am a divine being, I still have to follow the rules of etiquette. I need to burn incense and bathe before I can do what the heavens want me to do."

Li Ximing suddenly realized and said thoughtfully:
"it is good!"

After the two of them left the pavilion, Li Zhouwei withdrew his hand and said sternly:
"Where did Lord Yang fight?"

Li Ximing was on the lake, and had obviously been paying attention to this matter. He whispered:

"It's past Lixia!"

The two of them sat down at the stone table. The moon-white round lamps on both sides immediately lit up. Li Ximing said:
"The Great Desire Sect went south recklessly, spending a lot of effort. The golden lotus flowers looked extraordinary, and they promoted the local people to Buddhism. However, they collapsed to the north easily, leaving behind many followers. They were not many, and they were killed quickly."

"It's just that I heard the news..."

He looked a little emotional and replied:
"I heard that there are babies everywhere on those mountains. They are rotten from the root after being soaked in silver water. Lord Yang has no intention of killing them. He has sealed up these lotuses one by one and sent them down the mountain for foster care. It doesn't seem like a good thing."

Li Zhouwei pondered for a moment and replied:

"That's the Yang family's business. Now that Changxiao has been razed to the ground and Si Yuanli has boarded the ship, the sea is safe for the time being. This Zhenqi has fought in the wilderness again. At least at this point in time, the North doesn't dare to start a war. It's rare for my family to be safe... I'm going to the East China Sea."

"Oh?"

Li Ximing hesitated to speak, and listened to the young man:
"Everything must be done with the utmost caution. Although I have obtained the [Emperor Zhuguang Book of Wancheng], there must be a reason. I will meet the descendants of the Cui family and ask them some questions in detail. I will also take back the Mingyang skills of the Cui family."

Li Ximing was a little worried and nodded solemnly, while Li Zhouwei stroked his sleeves and seemed not to care much:

"Don't worry, uncle. I won't make things difficult for them, nor will I take it for nothing. I won't let them suffer any loss if they deserve compensation."

He raised his eyes, the gold color was a little dim:
"I have also met Yang Ya. He doesn't seem to be a generous person. I can't guarantee what he will do in private. I also want to support Jue Yin. If he dares to treat Jue Yin harshly, I will not forgive him."

This sentence made Li Ximing nod repeatedly and replied:

"Jue Yin has worked diligently for so many years, it is not the Cui family's or the Li family's business anymore."

"Moreover..."

Li Zhouwei thought for a moment and replied:
"It would be best if we could see a dragon, but if we can't, that doesn't matter... Then we can go to Yinzhou and deal with the Buddhist instruments on hand."

Li Ximing thought for a while and replied:

"In that case, I can dispose of these miscellaneous things in my hands. I was thinking about this earlier."

He took out the [Dushan Point Spirit Talisman] from his hand and said seriously:

"I already have enough spiritual tools on me. I can't use up all the spiritual treasures. [Bi Ting Qing Yan Xuan Ding] and [Shi Chuan] are enough for me to use. You can look for this thing... It would be best if you can exchange it for some benefits. If not, Kuang Yu will also come to the lake during this period, and I will stay with Kuang Yu."

Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows. This was the second time he had heard Kuang Yu's name. He said with interest:
"Uncle has been getting very close to this real person recently!"

Li Ximing didn't think much about it and shook his head:

"Everyone just takes what they need! When the sun fades, these people immediately gather together to keep each other warm. My Taoist tradition and alchemy skills are useful after all."

Li Zhouwei raised his eyebrows and smiled a little:
"How is Uncle's 'World Bright'?"

Li Ximing smiled awkwardly and replied regretfully:

"If it doesn't work the first time... you can try again after the remaining three to five years."

Li Zhouwei was a little helpless, but still said solemnly:
"I am not blaming my uncle. Everyone knows how difficult it is to obtain supernatural powers. If I did not have a destiny, I would have run into obstacles one after another in front of these supernatural powers. It's just that time is running out. I don't know when the new dynasty will be established, and how much trouble there will be. I can't delay any longer."

"Now that my family has sufficient resources and the [Wall Sinking Water] of the barbarians is running low, I can put the matter of the elixir aside for now and let my skills improve and my supernatural powers be cultivated."

He said seriously:

"If this doesn't work, I will look for Sima Yuanli again. I will get that Mingzhen Heshen Pill back from him no matter what."

Li Zhouwei said it so bluntly that Li Ximing was no longer embarrassed. He nodded repeatedly and said confidently:

"There is no medicine to make, so you can go ahead and don't have to worry about your family... I just have something to trouble you with."

Li Zhouwei gave him an inquiring look, and Li Ximing took out two items from his sleeves.

This object was a crystal clear jade bottle, emitting a faint white mist, with mysterious patterns suspended on it. It was the [Ming Zhen He Shen Dan]!
The other object was even more magical. It was a short knife with an ivory blade and a jade handle. It was engraved with mysterious patterns like those in a ghost atlas and emitted a purple light.

Li Ximing smiled and said:
"During the time you were away, Ding Yangzi came to see me and told me that the spirit embryo of the [Upper Witch], the [缡刀], had been refined."

"What a fast speed... Ding Yangzi is really capable!"

Li Zhouwei nodded in surprise and said doubtfully:

"He uses a lot of spiritual resources from my family every year to refine this thing, and the speed is so fast. Maybe it is also a quick method to master the profound way..."

Li Zhouwei's golden eyes swept over the [缡刀], and he stopped talking abruptly, frowning and saying:

"Good baby."

Li Ximing looked at him suspiciously, but saw Li Zhouwei staring at the ivory blade and asked doubtfully:
"Is this... is this... a spiritual object from the Treasure Land?"

Almost everyone who saw [The Blade] sighed and said it was good, but Li Ximing never paid any attention to it. After all, it was just a spirit embryo. He just listened to Li Zhouwei raising his eyes and saying:

"I heard that the sign of the 'treasure land' is the [Qi Xiang], and the place where he sleeps is a hill called the [Treasure House Hill]. If there is no rain in the hills when a man and a woman get married within a radius of 100 miles, they will not get pregnant. Women will work with bulging bellies and will not be able to give birth all day... It was also a great demon in ancient times."

He lowered his eyebrows and said:

"This should be the ivory of a monster of the Qixiang species, such as a peacock. It's just strange... How could such a precious treasure be used as a spiritual embryo?"

Li Ximing felt a little uneasy when he heard this monster was so strange, and replied:
"After all, it is the secret of someone else's sect, so I won't delve into it. If you have time, just give it to Jiao Zhongzi."

Li Zhouwei then stood up, agreed to the matter, drove the Mingguang, and went out to change clothes and take a bath.

Li Ximing was still standing silently in the pavilion for a long time. Finally, he sighed deeply and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

After an unknown amount of time, the young man with golden eyes was already standing silently in front of the steps. He walked through the corridor filled with white mist, and walked up step by step to the mysterious room at the highest point of the Shanghuan Pavilion.

The black wooden slip was still attached to the groove of the stone platform. His hand gently slid across the slip, and a light silver color rippled like water waves.

The condensed silver characters were not "The Book of Emperor Wancheng Zhuguang", but six other characters.

[Hongxia's cloud-jumping body technique].

But the silver characters only flashed for a moment before disappearing. A stream of Taoist magics and sects emerged one after another from top to bottom:

"【Light Cloud Falling Technique】, 【Seven Color Cloud Seal】, 【Yiguang Escape Technique】, 【Hongyun Magic Technique】..."

This dense and lush Taoist magic passed through his eyes, but it did not make him linger in the slightest. Instead, it made his eyes slowly lower.

He remained silent the entire time, and suddenly the face of his great uncle Li Ximing appeared in front of him - this uncle must have noticed it earlier than he did, but he was calm and composed, as if nothing was wrong.

"They are all techniques, without any orthodoxy."

'Not a single one.'

……

Combined with the sky and the sea.

Burning mountain.

There are misty colorful clouds and bright rays of light in the mountains. The top of the mountain is intertwined with colorful lights. The colorful clouds come flying, land on the top of the mountain, stay for a moment, then raise their light again and go straight forward.

A group of monsters were wandering around at the foot of the mountain. A Taoist nun in hemp clothes was walking on the wind when she saw a black light coming towards her. It landed on the sea but refused to land on the mountain. It stared at them from afar and then turned into a middle-aged man.

This person revealed his figure, asked the Taoist nun to raise her head, took one more look, and said faintly:
“It turns out that the real person has arrived!”

The middle-aged man was slightly embarrassed, lowered his eyebrows and looked at her, and replied:
"I'm going to Peacock Sea, passing by Hetian, and then I'll come to see my sister."

"You're welcome."

The Taoist nun answered casually, without much of a positive expression:
"Now that I have seen you, do you have any instructions?"

The middle-aged man had a complicated expression and replied:
"Xiao'er, I understand your pain, but we are family after all, and I haven't seen you for decades... Why do you have to do this?"

This Taoist nun is actually Yang Xiaoer!
The man standing opposite her was none other than Yang Ruiyi, the master of the Yang family whom Li Zhouwei had met in Simin County!
After hearing Yang Ruiyi's words, Yang Xiaoer's cold expression finally softened a little. Without saying a word, Yang Ruiyi took out a small pocket pavilion from his sleeve.

This pavilion had nine corners, with a table and four chairs. He gently threw it up, and immediately a dark color enveloped it, pulling the two of them in and making them stand opposite each other.

Yang Ruiyi sighed deeply, turned sideways, stood with his hands behind his back, and replied:
"Whether you believe it or not... your matter... I never thought that the result would be like this... When my father decided on this matter, he never thought that it would eventually become the overall situation of Mingyang..."

Yang Xiao'er said nothing. Yang Ruiyi frowned and whispered in a slightly anxious tone:

"The Fox Tribe is not worth mentioning. Not to mention us, even in Tang Pan's hands it wouldn't be a big deal. Why would they go to so much trouble? I..."

His words were interrupted by the Taoist nun in front of him. Yang Xiaoer said calmly:

"It seems that Li Jiangliang's matter is not that much trouble."

Yang Ruiyi paused for a moment and replied:

"Just listen to me..."

He raised his eyebrows and said:

"The situation in Jiangliang is that the overall situation between the north and the south has been decided. We need Bai Lin, and the Li family also needs to have a token with us, so this is the reason... This is a decision at a higher level, and it cannot be confused with my father's arrangement..."

His expression was somewhat more melancholy:

"Father only has a few children. You were born with poor aptitude and no spiritual power. He went to great lengths to obtain the [Taiqing Linggong Treasure Qi] just to help you open your mind... But this thing has limited power and cannot become a magical power... Father only wants you to be safe..."

Yang Ruiyi was gloomy for a moment:
"Later, the Ning-Li bloodline flowed out, and my father was in charge. He already had a friendship with Ning and Li, and he saw that Li Xizhi was a good man, so he asked you to go to the mountains to see if there was any marriage... I never thought that you would fall in love at first sight... At that time, my father was very satisfied and said that it was the fate of the two families..."

"After all... after all, they are Ning Li, so what if we save one or two!"

Yang Xiaoer was gradually moved, but still remained silent as she listened to her brother sigh:

"I didn't even think about Mingyang at that time!"

He sighed and raised his head suddenly:

"You have to know that Bai Lin was born after Cheng Huai was born. If I had known this earlier, I would never... I would never give him the last name Li!"

Yang Xiaoer said calmly:
"Brother, you are right. It doesn't matter to me or my children. The higher-ups don't care. It is because they don't care that we have these troubles."

She took a step forward, with a hint of sadness on her plain face:
"I'm not a fool, and there's no need for my brother to cover up for my father...Father...I'll just call him father..."

"She values ​​my husband because she has a good relationship with Ning and Li. She just wants to use the blood of my Yang family to protect one or two Ning and Li branches. But there are deeper concerns behind it... What is it - Anhuai and Wanling Cave Heavens, yes or no?"

Yang Ruiyi lowered his head and listened to his sister's soft voice:
"Father did all this out of personal feelings. He just wanted to preserve a little bloodline for emergency use. He didn't want my husband to achieve great success and become outstanding, thus attracting the attention of others and being criticized by the superiors. In the end, no one could be saved. What he hoped most was that he could be mediocre, or break through and die, so that the bloodline could be passed down."

"But how can the Ning Li bloodline be simple? They have only produced a sword immortal, and the sword immortal is even my husband's elder in terms of clan law... The two caves of Anhuai and Wanling will be opened sooner or later. As a descendant of Ning Li, who knows what opportunities there will be?"

"So you calmly pointed him to a dead end, hoping that he would stop there. You even sent him away from the two caves to prevent him from running into anything... You were really cautious..."

She smiled softly, with a hint of sadness mixed with pride on her face:
"But my husband is not an ordinary person. Even if he is on the deadly road of Hongxia, my father must be afraid of him now that he sees his Taoism improving day by day..."

Yang Xiaoer raised her eyebrows and looked directly at the real person:

"Brother, am I right?"
