Xuanjian Xianzu

Li Jiman rode a horse to Lijing Town, and lay in the car to return to Wutu City. The executioner in the main courtyard of the Li family was a monk with fetal breath. Even though his body was useless, he was still beaten to pieces.

A few unsmiling clan elders in the Zhengyuan chatted for a while, and gave a comment of "negligence of duty, indulgence of family name". This not only beat Li Jiman over and over again, but also slapped Li Jiman's face snap.

Naturally, the Tian family also rushed to the main courtyard of the clan, Tian Zhongqing stepped forward to apologize repeatedly, Li Jiman exposed it with a smile on his face, but Tian Zhongqing felt cold behind his back.

On the other side, the main courtyard of the clan and Li Yuanping's nave, although they had not given any instructions to his family, still made them sweat.

As the head of the Tian family at the center of the storm, Tian Zhongqing choked in his throat when he heard it, and the joy of being promoted to practice qi was gone. He drove back to Dongshanyue overnight, smashed the porcelain all over the courtyard in anger, and had to stop his uncle Tian Youdao would not slap Tian Rong to death.

"Get off! Sinister!"

With Tian Youdao yelling loudly, Tian Rong went down dejectedly clutching Lao Gao's swollen cheeks, Tian Zhongqing let go of the old man's hand, he really didn't want to stop Tian Youdao, he just beat him to death neat……

But the old man's slap only slapped Tian Rong staggeringly, Tian Zhongqing knew that his uncle still loved his only son, and accompanied him to finish the play, saying in a deep voice:

"Uncle... what can I do!"

Tian Youdao is also an old man of the Li family. From fetal breathing to Qi training, his seniority in the clan is very high. Hearing this, he let out a sigh of relief and said in a muffled voice:

"Li Jiman is narrow-minded. He was already dissatisfied with my family, but now that this incident happened, he has made a big enemy..."

The uncle and nephew both practiced qi, and their own family was the largest foreign force in the Li family, and they were always cautious. They never thought that Tian Zhongqing was in seclusion, Tian Youdao went out, and Tian Rong ran out, causing such evil results.

Tian Zhongqing sighed and said in a low voice:
"Obviously ordered, how could he be told to run out, now Li Jiman has the support of many Shanyue nobles... If there is any change in the future..."

Tian Youdao sat up first, he was over 70 years old, he had seen a lot of things, he had already pinched his beard and thought about it secretly, and said thoughtfully:

"This matter is strange, let me ask the Patriarch, let me talk about it, if the family wants to do it, I will just cooperate!"

After all, Tian Youdao is Li Xuanfeng's biological uncle. He is senior in the family and has the qualifications to say such words. Seeing this, Tian Zhongqing couldn't help feeling secretly:

"Only uncle in the family can say this..."

"Zhongqing!"

Tian Youdao called in a low voice, Tian Zhongqing quickly raised his head, his uncle and nephew looked at each other, Tian Youdao had a serious face, and said in a deep voice:
"Speaking of this matter... my family can have such power now, it seems that my uncle and nephew broke through to practice Qi successively, and Tian's spiritual aperture has repeatedly appeared, and he is the mainstay, and has won the trust of the master, restricting Shanyue, but Zhongqing..."

He looked at his nephew and whispered:

"You have to know that the power and authority of my family belong to me alone!"

Tian Zhongqing nodded heavily. He has been married and established for many years now. He has many children and is much more mature. He said in a muffled voice:

"The Ren family and the Dou family are tied to Bomai, and now there is Mr. Ximing, who follows eagerly. The Liu family is already in decline, and the Xu family is dedicated to being a pure minister in the army. There is nothing to worry about. of."

"And I, Mrs. Tian..."

Tian Youdao is Li Xuanfeng's biological uncle, the Tian family has always been headed by uncles, but Li Xuanfeng went to Yishan City in the southern border, and he has no heir under his knees, so the Tian family has no support.

Li Xuanfeng said that he was going to guard Yishan City, but there were a few who came back from this city, everyone didn't say it, they just thought that he would never come back, the rest of the Wang family didn't feel much, but Tian's heart Secretly beat the drums.

"good."

Tian Youdao shook his head and replied:

"I'm only afraid that one day something bad happens to me, and the Tian family will be dismembered, just like the Liu family."

Tian Zhongqing hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"Uncle, let's see... How is the eldest son?"

Li Ximing is the eldest son of Li Jiaxi's Ming generation, Li Xizhi is the third, Li Ximing and Li Xijun are the seventh and eighth respectively, the other one daughter and three sons are all mortals, so it doesn't matter if they are sent down the mountain.

Li Xiyu is currently managing affairs in Shanyue. He is the only son of the Li family who has gone down the mountain to manage affairs. He is from the Zhongmai Li Tongya lineage. Tian Zhongqing has a lot of contact with him, and he understands it a little bit, explaining:

"The eldest son is very magnanimous, generous and friendly. If the Tian family treats him as a wife and concubine, I will fall in love with him and become friends with Zhongmai. Maybe I can find a big tree."

"Zhongmai was in decline for a time, and he didn't have any support from his mother clan. It was really the best choice!"

Tian Youdao took a sip of tea and replied:

"Go ahead and try it out. Build a good relationship first. I think he is more generous than tough enough. He is easy to cling to. If you can gain his trust, you will have no worries for generations."

────
Among the many halls of the guards, Li Yuanping sat cross-legged in a brocade robe, with white lights emerging from the futon under his body, helping him to concentrate and avoid interference.

"Patriarch! A letter from the west road."

The clan soldiers who came up from the bottom whispered, seeing that Li Yuanping was practicing in the hall, he didn't dare to go forward for a while.

It is rare for Li Yuanping to relax recently, and he also has time to spare for cultivation. Although the benefits are minimal, it is better than nothing.

"Take it up."

Li Yuanping exhaled, reached out to take the letter, and used a specific method to unlock the secret letter, and read it:
"The Donghe River has reached the desert in the west. This place is called the Guyan Desert. The two followers are all respectful. There are many passes in this place. I am a guest at the Guyan Temple under the rule of Jin Yuzong. The three of us will work together and return home in seven years."

"it is good!"

Seeing that there is a way to collect the [Jinyang Huangyuan] in the west, Li Yuanping was overjoyed, looked at the small letter in his hand, and wondered:

"Where did this come from?"

"Patriarch."

The soldier replied:

"It was brought by the miscellaneous gas merchants on the road."

Li Yuanping nodded suddenly, took the pen and ink and wrote a big "Yes", and wrote some words of encouragement and thanks, sealed it with his own seal, and threw it into Dou Yi's hands:

"Give him some spiritual rice and let him take it back."

The communication between heaven and earth here doesn’t need to be so troublesome, not to mention the ancient times, I heard that there were things like sound transmission charms thousands of years ago, but somehow, this kind of charms either failed or cost a lot, and few people used them up.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Li Yuanping turned his attention back to home affairs.

"Shan Yue is easy to handle."

Since Li Yuanjiao mentioned this matter a few days ago, he had a detailed chat with Li Yuanping, and soon he returned to the mountain to practice, while Li Yuanping focused on how to solve these two matters.

Li Yuanping in the mountainous land had been dissatisfied for a long time, and secretly made arrangements, but it was just a group of children in the clan, which caused Li Yuanping a lot of headaches.

"It's really like what my brother said... Where can I find another place..."

Li Yuanping sorted out the letters on the case, and took out the information of several surrounding families.

The Yu family has been silent for the past few days, Yu Mugao has buried his head in organizing the clan, killing one group today and releasing another group tomorrow. Although his brothers are numerous and powerful, they cannot fight each other and are slaughtered as lambs every day.

"How dare you kill..."

Li Yuanping looked at the roster above, and pursed his lips. Yu Mugao had killed it to his heart's content, leaving many hidden dangers, he shook his head, and thought of the families on the east bank.

There are more than a dozen scattered families on the east bank, scattered all over the place, although most of them are small clans that practice fetal breathing, but they are quite complicated, entangled with many parties, and no one touches them.

The north bank of Wangyue Lake and the east bank of Wangyue Lake used to be the territory of Tongjinmen, and the families on the east bank are inextricably linked with Tongjinmen. is one of them.

Second, the families on the east bank hold several treasure lands such as mineral veins and spiritual springs, all of which are secretly controlled by the Xiao family in the west, and the Xiao family guards them in the name of guest ministers to maintain the situation and make profits.

It was something that shouldn't have happened, but Qingchizong turned a blind eye, the Xiao family had the heart to see this shattered appearance, and maintained it like this year after year.

What's more, Wangyue Lake is next to the Xiao family, and the buffer zone between them is maintained by these families. It is bordered by Tongjinmen to the north, and Li Jiading's house to the south. It is quite sensitive that various forces compete for it.

It is these various factors that forcibly maintain the families on the east bank. There has been no major change in the past hundred years. When the Jiang family was prosperous, it was for the Jiang family. Each went to find a backer.

"Back when the market was broken and the Yu family was in decline, my family also had the opportunity to accept a few offerings. It was just that there were not enough people at that time. I just wanted to hide my strength and bide my time, and I didn't want to get involved, so I missed it."

Li Yuanping thought for a while, and couldn't help but feel agitated, secretly thinking:

"It just so happens that my family's expenses are tight now. If I can get involved... Firstly, I can get some offerings, and secondly, I can also support some forces on the east coast..."

Li Yuanping was thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and called out to Dou Yi who was at the bottom:
"Go to the Clan Zhengyuan and get me a piece of information about the families on the east coast."

Dou Yi nodded hastily, and went down in a hurry, never thinking that someone would run up as well, and said respectfully:
"Patriarch! There are monks on the road asking to see you!"

"A monk on the road?"

Li Yuanping hesitated slightly, knowing that it might not be easy to report to the palace, so he just asked:
"What kind of cultivation? But what do you want?"

The clan soldiers under that rank opened their mouths and replied:
"According to what An Keqing said, I'm afraid it's not a monk of the Zifu Jindan Dao. He wears a Taoist robe with cuffs and looks like a young man. It is said that his aura is far superior to that of Foundation Establishment. As for the affairs, you have to see the Patriarch before you are willing to talk about it."

An Zheyan also met Yu Xiaogui and Li Tongya back then, and he could probably estimate the strength of the monks who established the foundation, saying that it was far superior to the foundation, which made Li Yuanping look dignified.

"Isn't it a monk of the Zifu Jindan Dao!? Want to see me?"

Li Yuanping froze for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"Go and remind Brother Jiao, call... don't call him over, let him watch from the mountain... An Keqing and others are suppressing... in case this person suddenly becomes violent."

Li Yuanping looked a bit ugly, he always hated this kind of unexpected trouble, not to mention that although the other party came to the door in a polite manner, but his cultivation was far superior to that of building a foundation, the Li family couldn't bear it if they really made a fuss.

"Damn!"

He expressed his dissatisfaction viciously, and then he took a long breath and said in a low voice:

"Ask him to wait in the side hall."

"Yes!"

Dou Yi and the others shrank their heads, and then Li Yuanping sat back on his head and said to himself:
"Seeing through Shu is not Shixiu, but it is hard to guarantee that it came from a change... Maybe it is a demon cultivator... My family has never seen Jiangnan demon cultivator. I only heard that the appearance is the same as ordinary people. I am afraid I can't recognize it."

He took two steps down the stairs. After all, he was at the Foundation Establishment level, and he was the only one in the Li family who was worth a lot now, and it wouldn't be too big a loss for someone to violently kill him.

"It's not appropriate to show timidity at this time. I'm afraid it will be bad if it makes people suspicious. I'll meet him instead."

Li Yuanping walked to the front of the hall, walked lightly, and then walked to the corridor, and saw the simple-faced Li Wen following up with a pumpkin as big as a human head in one hand, without saying a word.

Looking at his mountain-like figure, Li Yuanping really felt a little more secure, and said with a smile:

"What a fool!"

"Ha ha."

Li Wen muffled a smile, Li Yuanping arrived in front of the side hall, and said softly:

"There's no need to follow in, just wait outside."

After all, the difference between foundation building and Qi training is too great. According to An Zheyan's description, Li Wen's going up is just a matter of someone else's palm, and he seems guilty.

Seeing Li Wen's response in a daze, Li Yuanping pushed the door open and entered.

The side courtyard is plain and unadorned, only a few wooden tables are placed, beside the small table on the side is sitting a young man with a Taoist crown on his head and an ordinary face, with a sword on his knee, which looks like a mahogany sword.

He looked to be in his twenties, and he was wearing this ordinary Taoist robe, with gold patterns embroidered on the cuffs, and he didn't know where he was wearing it. The mahogany sword was also ordinary and dull, not like any treasure.

"20-year-old Foundation Establishment?"

Li Yuanping already believed in his heart that this person used illusion to cover up his appearance, so he became more and more vigilant.

"The Li family welcomes senior, I don't know what to call senior?"

Li Yuanping took a step forward, put on a smile all over his face, and asked softly, neither humble nor overbearing.

"I have met the Patriarch! I am from King Xun of Yinghua County, Zhao State! Patriarch, you are very polite!"

I never thought that the monk's reaction would be very big. He jumped up from the edge of the table, and the mahogany sword on his knee jumped in the air, floating lightly in the air. Wang Xun seemed to know nothing, and politely said answer.

Seeing this person's answer and tone, Li Yuanping put his heart down a little, swept his gaze at the mahogany sword without a trace, and said with a smile:

"So it's Zhao's guest! I'm Li Yuanping, I'm welcome from afar, I'm welcome from afar."

"Don't dare."

Wang Xun saw that Li Yuanping didn't go up, but sat down beside him, obviously to save face, his reserved expression immediately relaxed, and he also sat down.

Seeing that the reaction of the young man in front of him was really not pretending, the burden in Li Yuanping's heart suddenly lifted by three points, and he became more comfortable, and said softly:

"Look at the tea!"

The attendant at the bottom brought up the tea, set it up in front of the two of them, and hurriedly retreated. Li Yuanping smiled, seeing the shy young man in front of him, not daring to relax his vigilance, and said in a gentle voice:

"Excuse me, senior...what is your background? Can you entrust me with something? If my family can do it, I will do it for senior."

This young man probably doesn't often walk around in the world, and he never mentioned his own background after talking a series of stories. When Li Yuanping asked about his background, he just wanted to see if he was from a big clan, so that he could respond.

So he asked with a smile, and picked up the jade pot to refill tea for him.

The young man froze for a moment, nodded repeatedly, thought he was asking about his family genealogy, and hurriedly replied:

"I was born in the royal family of Yinghua, and I am the great-great-grandson of Zhenjun Xiaojin, the son of Zhenzhen Yingyuan..."

"Wow..."

Li Yuanping seemed to have been slapped inexplicably, his head was buzzing, and his steady hands shook abruptly. These words made his mind go blank, and several water splashes were sprinkled out smoothly.

"Zhenjun Xiaojin! Golden core monk!"

He raised his head in a daze, and said in disbelief:

"Senior... Said it was... the great-great-grandson of the real king, the son of the real man?!"
