Chapter 339 Huangpo Village, a Forbidden Land for Ghosts and Gods
When Li Qianyun woke up, she found herself lying on a sickbed, with an elder from the clan diagnosing her injuries.

"Uncle Xiaogan!" She stood up hurriedly, her heart aching, and she almost couldn't stand.

She was injured in the heart and lungs by Li Tianqing's hair-like sword energy. If it weren't for her powerful cultivation and control over the flow of qi and blood, the blood in her heart would soon flow into her lungs and she would die.

"Qianyun, no need to greet me."

Li Xiaogan majored in medicine and was a famous imperial physician. He treated high-ranking officials in Xijing. Later, he resigned and stayed at home, treating the entire Li family. The children of the Li family may not know their patriarch, but they must know who Li Xiaogan is.

Li Xiaogan smiled and said, "Your heart and lungs are injured. If you don't get treatment, it will leave a big hidden danger. The next time you fight with someone and give it your all, the injury will recur. This time the injury must be treated."

Only then did Li Qianyun notice that there were other beds in the room, belonging to Li Tianzheng and others.

Their injuries were more serious than hers, and they were lying on their sickbeds, many of them groaning in pain.

"Uncle Xiaogan, why are you here?" Li Qianyun asked.

Li Xiaogan smiled and said, "I have always been here. When you were chasing Li Tianqing, I was watching from a distance."

Li Qianyun was slightly startled, not understanding what he meant. If Li Xiaogan had been watching nearby, why didn't he rescue them and kill Li Tianqing?
After they were defeated by Li Tianqing, shouldn't they kill the traitor Li Tianqing?

"Not only am I next to you, the Sect Master is also nearby."

Li Xiaogan smiled and said, "Many people from the clan are here. We all saw your fight with Li Tianqing."

Li Qianyun was even more confused.

She followed Li Xiaogan outside, only to see that clan leader Li Xiaozai and a group of clan elders were all present. There were about thirty to fifty people, whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about.

She couldn't help but be shocked. Was it necessary to mobilize so many Li family masters to hunt down Li Tianqing?
Moreover, after her failure, why didn't so many powerful people in the clan get rid of Li Tianqing?
"Qianyun is awake." Li Xiaogan said.

Sect Master Li Xiaozai's eyes fell on Li Qianyun. Li Qianyun greeted him with a sad heart and said, "Qianyun has failed the Sect Master's cultivation and expectations. Please take back the Small Tribulation Skill!"

Li Xiaozai shook his head and said, "Victory and defeat are common in the military, so why worry about it? The reason you couldn't defeat him this time is because he secretly observed you for eight days and noticed a flaw in your Yuanshen force field, and used the smoke to find this flaw. You have been practicing until now, but you don't know what your weaknesses are. After this battle, you will know, and you will only become stronger in the future."

Li Qianyun's sadness was alleviated a little, but being defeated by Li Tianqing still made her very sad.

She was highly expected to succeed in hunting down the traitor, but she was still defeated. I'm afraid she will never be able to become the leader of the clan.

Li Xiaozai said: "Your defeat at the hands of Li Tianqing this time shows that you are indeed lacking in some aspects. You still need to continue to practice diligently. I just discussed with the elders of the clan and decided to send you to the upper realm to practice for a period of time. You are qualified to go there."

Li Qianyun was slightly stunned. She had never heard of the world above the world.

Li Xiaozai said: "The upper world is a world independent of the Yin and Yang worlds created by the ancestors of my thirteen generations of families using their own void realms. Since the fall of the True King era, more than six thousand years have passed. Almost all the beings in the Return to Void Realm and the Great Vehicle Realm of the thirteen families will contribute their own void realms before their death to consolidate the upper world. Some of the ancestors of the past generations live in the underworld, and some live in the upper world. When you go there, you will get guidance from the ancestors of the past generations."

Li Qianyun was extremely surprised. Did she receive guidance from her ancestors?

If this is true, her cultivation strength is bound to improve by leaps and bounds, far surpassing what it is now.

"After you come out of the upper realm, don't seek revenge on Li Tianqing, and don't treat him as a member of the Li family. From now on, we have nothing to do with him."

Li Xiaozai stared into her eyes and whispered, "Qianyun, do you understand?"

Li Qianyun was stunned and said, "I don't understand, but I will follow the Patriarch's instructions."

Li Xiaozai smiled and waved his hand, signaling her to go and prepare.

Li Xiaogan came to Li Xiaozai and asked, "Why did the sect leader let that kid go?"

"Letting him go is the result of my careful consideration."

Li Xiaozai looked up at the sky and whispered, "What the Thirteenth Family is going to do is a world-changing event, so we have to make preparations for both scenarios. Either we succeed in this and restore the prosperity of the True King, or we fail miserably and the entire family is wiped out. I must leave a root for the Li family, even if this root is a traitor."

He retracted his gaze and said, "Li Tianqing is a genius. If he hadn't betrayed me, I would have chosen him as the next clan leader. If such a genius betrayed the Li family, it would be extremely harmful to the Li family. The Li family must get rid of him no matter what. Especially since he defeated Qianyun, he should be killed as soon as possible. But now the Li family needs a traitor to continue the bloodline."

Li Xiaogan was slightly shocked and bowed slightly.

As a clan leader, you should not worry about victory but think about defeat first, and make arrangements for the Li family's escape route. Only then can you be a qualified clan leader.

The sky was blazing with fire and it was getting dark early again.

Li Xiaozai looked at the sea of ​​fire in the sky that covered the entire Xiniu Xinzhou with a worried look on his face.

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting earlier, and this trend is accelerating!

The impact of natural disasters will become greater and greater!

Will the Thirteen Families be able to prepare in time to deal with this natural disaster?
In Huangpo Village, on the loess slope outside the village, Chen Shi was practicing under an old willow tree. The Nine Heavens hung in the sky behind him, illuminating the surrounding area for several miles as if it were daytime.

His soul sat on the shrine in the small temple. His aura became stronger and stronger, and his soul was slowly growing stronger.

Although it was late, he was still practicing very diligently.

As it gets dark earlier and earlier, there is not enough time for cultivation during the day, so I have to practice even at night.

The people in Huangpo Village were also awake, chatting about family matters at the entrance of the village.

Hei Guo took his daughter out to play. The day before yesterday, Hu Feifei sent her daughter over, and the little girl didn't want to leave. She felt uncomfortable in the county government office, and she would rather stay in the countryside with Chen Shi and Gou Zi.

Fortunately, Chen Shi's parents liked this girl very much and treated her like their own daughter. Having the couple take care of her was much better than having her with Hu Feifei, a virgin.

Nannan lived in Huangpo Village, so Zhong Kui and Tie Chi also moved nearby, and Zhong Kui brought his sister and mother over as well.

Zhong Kui and Tie Chi are the reincarnations of ghosts and gods. They would reveal their true forms at night and run out to eat evil spirits. For a time, there were no evil spirits around Huangpo Village and there was no danger even at night.

The people in Huangpo Village were somewhat resistant to Zhong Kui and Tie Chi a few days ago, but when they found that although the two looked ferocious, they were kind-hearted, they accepted them.

"The light behind the top scholar's head is getting brighter and brighter." Old Lady Wuzhu said, looking towards the loess slope.

Grandma Yuzhu was sewing shoe soles and said with a smile, "I still haven't found a wife yet. I'm just feeling depressed."

Old Mrs. Wuzhu couldn't help laughing: "No wonder it's getting brighter and brighter."

At this time, a cold wind blew, and three little ghosts carrying buckets and wearing small round hats crawled out of the ground. These three little ghosts had one ox head, one horse face, and one little yaksha. They were all less than two feet tall and walked briskly.

The old men and women in the village were not surprised to see the three little ghosts.

Ever since the top scholar returned to the village, these three little ghosts would appear at night, chattering nonsense. They always stayed by Nannan's side and revolved around her.

"There are more and more weirdos in the village."

Old Lady Wuzhu looked outside the village and said, "I don't think the father and daughter who live outside the village and do fishing are good people either."

Grandma Yuzhu rubbed her hair with a needle and said, "Our top scholar doesn't look like a good person either."

Everyone agreed. Suddenly, a clear bell rang, and the villagers of Huangpo Village looked in the direction of the sound. They saw three blue birds more than ten feet tall walking towards them on the mountain road outside the village, pulling a chariot.

These three blue birds can obviously fly, but they choose to walk on the road.

There is a halo behind their heads, emitting a soft light and illuminating the road.

In the carriage sat a nobleman, dressed in red, with a green belt around his waist, and he was gentle and elegant. When the villagers saw him, they all praised him, "What a handsome man."

When the carriage arrived at Huangpo Village, the nobleman in the carriage looked at Tie Chi, who had transformed into a monster with an ox's head and a human body, and felt awe in his heart. At this time, Zhong Kui, who was covered in flames, flew up from a thatched courtyard with a whoosh, which frightened him again.

The three blue birds were also startled, and a vast and sharp aura rose into the sky. Each of them showed a blue bird spirit that was over 600 feet tall, with a bird's head, a human body, and bird's feet. Its wings covered the sky, and it floated in the air, which was extremely shocking.

The nobleman coughed and said, "They have no ill intentions, there is no need to be so nervous."

The three blue birds each withdrew their spirits. Zhong Kui and Tie Chi glanced at them and said with some disappointment: "They are not evil spirits."

One of them was running on the ground, and the other was flying through the air, looking for food.

The young man drove forward and nodded slightly to the old men and women at the entrance of the village. The old men and women sat at the entrance of the village without moving, only their heads moved with his car.

The noble young man was none other than Yang Bi, also known as Yang Shaohu, who had come here specifically to visit Chen Shi.

The two reincarnated ghosts, Zhong Kui and Tie Chi, did not bring him much pressure. Instead, the attention of these old men and women caused him a lot of pressure.

Yang Bi had just gotten rid of the villagers' gaze when he saw a little girl of four or five years old riding a big black dog, running happily from behind, followed by three little kids carrying buckets. He was extremely shocked and ordered the three blue birds to stop the car to the side of the road to give way.

Yang Bi leaned over and watched Hei Guo carrying Nannan running over.

"Is this the rebel camp?" he thought to himself.

Yang Bi continued walking forward and came to the foot of the loess slope. He saw the new house by the river and the boatman and his daughter were mooring their boat on the shore.

"Huangpo Village is truly a forbidden place for ghosts and gods."

Yang Bi shook his head and looked up at the old willow tree at the top of the hill. The light of the sky behind Chen Shi's head covered an area of ​​more than ten acres and shone down.

Nannan rode the black pot up the hill, and three ghosts carrying buckets also rushed up the loess slope. Before they reached Chen Shi, a ray of light suddenly swept across, and one of the horse-faced ghosts disappeared.

The other two little ghosts looked envious.

Yang Bi got off the car and said with a smile, "I am Yang Bi from Youzhou, and I am here to visit Mr. Zhuangyuan."

Chen Shi opened his eyes, and the nine layers of sky behind his head disappeared. He stood up and said, "Come up."

Yang Bi looked at the three blue birds.

One of the blue birds walked out, came to his side and transformed into a woman in blue, about thirty years old, and bowed slightly.

Yang Bi walked up the loess slope, and the woman in green followed him closely.

After a while, he reached the top of the slope under the protection of the woman in green.

I saw that the loess slope was not high, only about three or five meters high. There was only an old willow tree and a stone tablet on the slope.

In addition, there was a woman in white, who was sitting under the tree, listening to the ghost scholar hanging on the tree preaching.

The woman in white listened attentively and occasionally said "Aba".

When Yang Bi saw the face of the woman in white, his heart tightened.

There was a stone table and stone bench under the old willow tree at the top of the slope. Chen Shi invited Yang Bi to sit down and said, "Brother Yang is from Youzhou. Are you related to the Yang family among the Thirteenth Family?"

Yang Bi sat down and said with a smile: "I am from the Yang family, one of the thirteen families. My ancestor was the chief minister of the cabinet during the reign of King Zhen. Later, he settled in Youzhou. The Yang family has flourished in Youzhou for generations and has become a prominent family in Youzhou."

He looked around and said with a smile: "Chen Zhuangyuan owns the Tomb of the True King in Qianyang Mountain, and has so many powerful people to help him. His plan is not small."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I don't have any ulterior motives. My purpose of participating in the imperial examination is to make my life better and to exploit my fellow villagers more legitimately."

Yang Bi smiled slightly, not believing a word he said.

Chen Shi asked, "Brother Yang, you are here to look for me, are you here to arrest me?"

Yang Bi shook his head and said, "I have already reprimanded Wei Yue, the young master of Xiandu, and ordered him to chase after the evil spirits and apologize to you. In the future, he is not allowed to send ghost messengers to hunt down you and your family."

Nannan fell off the dog's back and fell to the ground. The two little kids were terrified and rushed over in a hurry, but the little girl was lying on the grass, laughing, stretching her arms and legs, looking very happy.

Yang Bi's eyes fell on the little girl and continued, "The Thirteen Aristocratic Families will not continue to hunt down the Great Lord Qingtian, and will also let the reincarnated underworld officials such as the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Zhong Kui go. You don't need to be so nervous and guard against me."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I'm not nervous."

Yang Bi turned his head and looked down the slope.

Chen Shi looked and saw Chen Tang standing at the foot of the slope with a wooden box in his hand.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "My father is worried about my safety. It's a father-son relationship, and it's normal."

Yang Bi looked behind him again. Under the moonlight, a huge darkness shrouded the back of Huangpo Village. In the darkness, a pair of huge eyes were staring at him quietly.

Chen Shi said seriously: "Huo Dou is worried about the safety of its son. It is a parent's love for his son and it is normal."

He did not drive away Chen Tang and Huo Dou, and asked for advice: "The thirteen families are determined to get the position of the King of Hell, and have been plotting for more than a thousand years. Why don't you kill them all, Brother Yang?"

"Chen Zhuangyuan can call me Shaohu."

Yang Bi said solemnly, "The reason why we don't need to hunt down Lord Qingtian and his followers is because there is no need. In the era of the True King, the underworld was established, and the Ten Yama Kings were left. Except for Lord Qingtian, the other nine Yama Kings have all been brought to justice, and only Lord Qingtian is still at large. Now the other nine Yama Kings are all from my Thirteenth Family."

Chen Shi was shocked.

The three little ghosts were also stern.

Yang Bi continued, "I am here to integrate the power of the thirteen families. The first thing I have to do is to help Judge Wei Ling become the new King of Hell in the Yama Palace, and then pass the throne to Wei Yue. This matter is a foregone conclusion, and it doesn't matter whether you hunt down the Lord Qingtian or not. The trend is set, and you can't resist it."

Chen Shi wondered, "Since the Thirteen Families are unstoppable, why did Shao Hu come to me again?"

Yang Bi's face was solemn, and he said, "I came to see you to explain the Thirteenth Family's actions to you, so that you don't misunderstand."

Chen Shi said: "I'm all ears."

Yang Bi pondered for a moment and said, "This matter should start from the two realms of True King's Tribulation and Ascension."
