Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Chapter 703: Legend of the White Snake 2
After drinking the porridge, Li Gongfu and the other two felt that their bodies became much more relaxed, and they did not think much about it.

There is still a lot to do, and the funeral arrangements for both sets of parents must be handled quickly.

They died of plague, and their bodies could not be kept for long, so they had to be buried quickly.

However, too many people died in the city and all the coffins in the coffin shop were sold out, so they didn’t have time to make new ones.

Many wealthy families simply called carpenters to build coffins in their homes.

Li Gongfu knew a little about carpentry, so he decided to build his own coffin.

The wood had been prepared long ago by the parents of both families. It was originally intended to be used to make furniture and dowry for Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong's wedding, but now it could only be used to make coffins.

Xu Xian wanted to help Li Gongfu, but he was too weak. The most he could do was pour water for Li Gongfu and hand him a towel.

Liu Shu is younger than him, and Li Gongfu would not let his little brother help him.

Xu Jiaorong gave Liu Shu a piece of candy, touched his little head, and let him play by himself.

Liu Shu slipped out of the Li family while she and Li Gongfu were not paying attention.

Liu Shu came to a well not far away.

This well is a public well, and many families nearby come here to get water.

Liu Shu took out three pills and threw them into the water.

With his short legs, Liu Shu headed towards the next water source.

Because of his short legs, Liu Shu only put the pills into water sources within a mile in diameter during half a day.

In the following days, Liu Shu started running around, and after half a month, he finally put the elixir into all the water sources in Hangzhou.

People who drank the water mixed with the elixir began to feel better, and the sick gradually recovered.

The plague was resolved and the haze that had shrouded Hangzhou dissipated.

However, every household hung up the white banner.

Li Gongfu managed to make four usable coffins. During this time, he hired several workers to help him, so that the coffins could be made so quickly.

You can't force the appearance of the coffin, as long as it can be used, it's good enough.

Haven’t you seen that many families don’t have coffins available and can only wrap the body in a straw mat and bury it?
Liu Shu walked around the places where the bodies were buried and poured the water made from the elixir over them to eliminate the viruses on the bodies and prevent the plague from spreading.

In this way, the plague incident was completely resolved, and Hangzhou needed several years to recover from the damage it had done.

Liu Shu returned home.

Now the Li family and the Xu family have become one.

In order to facilitate their lives and be able to take care of each other, Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong got married within a hundred days of mourning.

Without inviting any guests, they just wore red clothes and, witnessed by their two younger brothers, worshipped heaven and earth and became husband and wife from then on.

But because of mourning, the two did not consummate their marriage.

The day after the marriage, Li Gongpu went to the government office and registered their marriage certificate. From then on, he and Xu Jiaorong became husband and wife.

Li Gongfu chiseled a hole in the wall between the two houses and built a door.

From then on, the two families became one, and when they went to each other's home, they no longer had to go through the main door, but could just go through this door.

When Xu Xian gets married in the future, he will lock this door, and the Xu family and the Li family will be divided into two families again.

Li's father was the chief constable of the yamen. After his death, this job fell into the hands of Li Gongfu.

Liu Shu thought of the various monsters in this world causing trouble. Li Gongfu had encountered them several times, which was really dangerous. Although he was the male protagonist's brother-in-law and might be protected by the male protagonist's aura and would not die, it was inevitable that he would be injured.

Liu Shu wants to help his brother improve his strength.

But Li Gongfu had no interest in practicing Taoism and thought it was a scam.

Liu Shu then selected some powerful martial arts from the space and buried them in the bedroom of Li's father and Madam Li, letting Xu Jiaorong accidentally discover them when she was cleaning the room.

Xu Jiaorong gave the things to Li Gongfu.

Li Gongfu thought it was something passed down from his ancestors, so he attached great importance to it, began to read it, and then practiced it.

What Liu Shu took out was the secret book of "Nine Yang Divine Art".

The internal energy cultivated through the Nine Yang Divine Art is extremely strong and masculine, and is the nemesis of many demons and evil spirits.

In the future, if Li Gongfu really encounters a harmful monster, even if he cannot kill the monster, he can still save himself.

Li Gongfu's aptitude was not good, and his comprehension was just passable, but he was a tenacious person.

Li Gongfu always believed that this Kung Fu was a unique skill passed down in his family and he must learn it, so he insisted on practicing it every day.

Over the years, some achievements have been made.

He cannot compare with Zhang Wuji and is far inferior to Zhang Wuji in talent.

It took Zhang Wuji five years to master the Nine Yang Divine Art, and it took Li Gongfu five years to only get the basics of the Nine Yang Divine Art.

In ten years, only a small success in the Nine Yang Divine Art was achieved.

But this has increased his fighting power many times.

Ten years later, Li Gongfu became the most powerful man in the yamen. The county magistrate had to give him some face, instead of scolding him at will as in the original book, or beating Li Gongfu with a stick because of his concubine's instigation.

Ten years passed, and Liu Shu was sixteen years old. He packed his bags and was ready to go out.

Liu Shu is going to study at Chuliu Academy in Zhenjiang.

Li Gongfu treated his younger brother and his wife's younger brother equally and was very good to them.

In the first few years after he became a captain of police, the family's income was not very high, but he still sent both of his children to school and would never treat either of them unfairly.

However, Xu Xian did not have much talent in studying, but he had some gift in medicine.

If in the original novel, without the comparison, Xu Jiaorong might still dream of helping Xu Xian pass the imperial examination and become an official. However, with the comparison with Liu Shu, Xu Jiaorong clearly realized that Xu Xian had no hope in the imperial examination, so she found her father's old friend, Boss Wang of Qing Yu Tang, and asked Boss Wang to let Xu Xian go to Qing Yu Tang to study medicine.

Boss Wang agreed, and Xu Xian started working as a waiter at Qing Yu Tang since last month.

Liu Shu took part in the county examination, prefectural examination and academy examination, and successfully passed the list and became a scholar.

He is now going to Chuliu Academy to continue his studies, waiting to take part in the provincial examination in three years and pass the examination.

The name of "Chu Liu Academy" has the word "Liu" in it, so it does have some connection with Liu Shu.

The principal of Chuliu Academy is Madam Li's cousin within the five degrees of mourning. He passed the imperial examination when he was young and stayed in the Hanlin Academy for ten years. Later, he returned to his hometown and opened Chuliu Academy.

Liu Hanlin was very good at teaching people. He trained two Jinshi and even more Juren and Xiucai.

The chief examiner when Liu Shu participated in the academician examination was a student of Liu Hanlin. He discovered that Liu Shu was related to Liu Hanlin, so he mentioned Liu Shu to Liu Hanlin.

Liu Hanlin became interested in this junior and personally wrote an invitation letter, inviting Liu Shu to study at Chuliu Academy.

Li Gongfu was very happy to receive the invitation. Even though he was reluctant to let his brother leave, he was still actively preparing the things that Liu Shu would need for his trip.
