I ascended to godhood through the 100-ton King Martial Arts.

Or perhaps a long-forgotten sense of malice is rising in one's chest.

Li Qingshan even became less sensitive to the stinging sensation on his forehead, and his pace was not slow.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

He arrived at a small courtyard with blue bricks located high in the village.

This is the best courtyard in the whole village. The main house in the courtyard is bathed in the glow of oil lamps, and shadows are cast on the windows, indicating that there are quite a few people.

Li Qingshan knew that his grandfather and uncle's family were having dinner.

He stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door of the courtyard.

moment.

A robust young man, about twenty years old and dressed in linen, strode to the gate of the courtyard.

Upon seeing that it was Li Qingshan, the other party's face became more enthusiastic: "Qingshan, you're awake. That Zhang San dared to provoke the Li family, so we gave him a good beating. Are you feeling better now?"

As he spoke, the young man opened the courtyard gate.

Li Qingshan walked into the courtyard and nodded: "Much better, Brother Tie. I have something urgent to discuss with Uncle and Grandpa."

The visitor was Li Tie, the eldest son of his uncle. He was twenty-two years old, tall and handsome, and married the youngest daughter of an old soldier in the county town. He was the most prestigious young man in the Li family.

Li Tie had studied martial arts at a martial arts school in the county town for a year in his early years, but he didn't learn anything special. After exhausting his family's savings, he was unwilling to work as a lackey for wealthy families, so he used his height and good looks to abduct his master's youngest daughter and return to Stone Village.

At that time, the young people in the Li family wanted to learn martial arts from Li Tie.

As a result, Li Tie told him that practicing martial arts was too taxing.

Without the special medicinal formulas provided by martial arts schools, a person's body can be ruined in just a few days by relying solely on ordinary meat.

In the end, everyone only learned some strength training and wrestling techniques.

Li Qingshan had trained in wrestling before, and the reason he was knocked unconscious by Zhang San was simply because the other party ambushed him; otherwise, he could have easily taken on two opponents at once.

Ironically, this misfortune turned into a blessing, awakening his innate wisdom.

...

Seeing Li Qingshan's serious expression, Li Tie was puzzled but didn't ask any further questions.

After closing the courtyard gate, he pointed to a side room: "Dad and Grandpa are eating. Go wait in this room, I'll go and call them over."

As he spoke, he led Li Qingshan into the house, lit an oil lamp, and then hurriedly headed towards the main house.

Li Qingshan was not kept waiting any longer.

He had just found a place to sit down when the door was pushed open again.

Leading the group was a short, bearded old man, less than 1.6 meters tall. Behind him was a kind-looking middle-aged man, and behind the middle-aged man was Li Tie, who had just gone to call for help.

Upon seeing the person who had come.

Li Qingshan quickly stood up: "Grandpa, Uncle."

Old Li coughed twice and said in a deep voice, "Qingshan, you were just injured. Why aren't you resting at home? Is there something urgent?"

Li Qingshan didn't mince words and went straight to the point:

"Grandpa, after I woke up, I felt that something was wrong with what happened today."

Zhang San is usually a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. He has a temper, but he only uses it on his own family.

His eldest nephew is two months older than me. He has always been timid and fearful, and he is not the type to cause trouble.

"But today the two of them have gone completely mad..."

The uncle chimed in, "Qingshan, when we arrived, Zhang San was so frightened that his face turned pale. He kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying that he and his nephew had been drinking that day and were bragging and acting crazy."

Old Li nodded in agreement, reassuringly saying:

"Qingshan, don't overthink it."

We've already taught the Zhang family a lesson. They're all from Stone Village, and it wouldn't be good to go too far openly.

do not worry.

Zhang San and his gang dared to provoke the Li family, so Grandpa naturally wouldn't let them get away with it.

After the autumn harvest this year, I'll send Zhang San and his nephew to do manual labor. I'll also use some money to bribe people and get them sent to the mines, so your family can get revenge."

Mining is a grind-up job.

Give them a heads-up, then deliberately cause trouble for two more months.

Zhang San and his nephew will inevitably suffer a great loss of energy.

On the surface, the villagers wouldn't feel insecure; instead, they would fawn over the Li family and wouldn't dare to offend or humiliate them.

...

Li Qingshan didn't mind that the two had interrupted him.

I lived for over forty years in my previous life, so I'm not a naive fool anymore.

He knew that his grandfather and uncle had misunderstood him, thinking that he was young and impetuous and had suffered a loss this time, so he was still upset and wouldn't let go of Zhang San, wanting to continue to cause trouble for him.

This is just me trying to comfort myself.

After the two finished speaking, Li Qingshan continued:

"Grandpa, Uncle, you've misunderstood."

After I sensed something was wrong, I secretly went to the Zhang family's house, only to hear something horrifying.

Zhang San's nephew may have grown into a martial arts master!

Zhang San thought he could rise in status through his nephew's connections, and his nephew also thought he could become a superior person in the future. He became audacious and, like a petty person who has gained power, caused what happened today...

The room fell silent after he said this.

It took Old Man Li a few breaths to come to his senses.

His eyes widened, his lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "Qingshan, did you hear me correctly?"

Li Qingshan was absolutely certain: "I heard right. Zhang San also said that once he recovers, the whole family will escort his nephew to the county town to have the Iron Legs Sect people verify his identity, and then they'll teach the Li family a lesson!"

"Damn it, it's actually a martial arts bone!"

Uncle Li Qingshan's face turned pale, and he leaned against a nearby table, unable to even stand steadily.

Li Tie's expression remained unchanged, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Although he didn't speak, he already had an idea.

Seeing his eldest son in such a wretched state, Old Man Li closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Idiot, what are you complaining about!"

The Zhang family has produced a prodigy, which should be a great blessing, like the smoke rising from the ancestral graves. But Zhang San has been spoiled and has become arrogant and conceited. Before things have even settled down, he has brought his nephew to provoke our Li family!

Now even joyous occasions are turning into misfortune!

After saying that, he opened his eyes, first glancing at Li Tie, whose expression was grim, then looking at Li Qingshan: "Qingshan, what do you think we should do?"

Li Qingshan chuckled softly: "Grandpa, Zhang San may have been speaking in anger, but our Li family cannot gamble with the lives of dozens of people. When we do something, we must do it thoroughly, and this matter must be resolved tonight!"

Old Li's narrowed eyes widened as if he were seeing this grandson for the first time, then he laughed heartily: "Good, good, good, as expected of a member of the Li family, Little Tie..."

Li Tie nodded and waved to Li Qingshan: "Qingshan, let's go!"

This is to call for reinforcements.

Over the years, the Li family has followed the ancestral motto of "many children, many blessings," and has continued to have children as long as they can. They also support each other. Now, not counting their in-laws, there are more than twenty capable adult men in the village.

Only after the two left did Uncle Li Qingshan look at Old Man Li and ask, "Father, what does it mean when a joyous occasion turns into a disaster?"

He felt a little dizzy.

It's not that the Li family offended the Zhang family and got into trouble.

How did it become a disaster for the Zhang family?

Old Li looked at his eldest son, whose eyes were clear and whose face was honest, and sighed: "You haven't finished eating yet. We still have things to do later. Go and eat quickly."

My eldest son is forty years old this year and is already a grandfather, but he's too lazy to say much.

Fortunately, my eldest grandson, Li Tie, is reliable.

As an elderly man with a wealth of experience, he is well aware of the chaos in the outside world and the difficulty of climbing out of poverty.

The accumulated wealth of a small, humble family over a century cannot withstand the sudden inspiration of a foolish leader.

Li Tie, the eldest grandson, is known for his steady personality and decisive actions. He is the new leader of the Li family chosen by Old Man Li.

As for Li Qingshan...

Old Li stroked his beard.

Qingshan rushed over without delay, clearly realizing the consequences of the Zhang family's rise to power and immediately harboring murderous intent.

The eldest son of the sixth brother usually seemed like a kind and honest person, but he was surprised to find that he was so thoughtful and had a ruthless streak in his bones.

The thought that Li Qingshan would be sixteen in two months stirred something in Old Man Li's heart.

In recent years, the Li family has accumulated some wealth. Perhaps they can help Qingshan try his luck at the martial arts school in the county town. At the very least, they can follow Li Tie's example and, with family support, find a spouse from a small family in the county town...

This is how connections are built up, generation after generation.

...

Meanwhile, Li Tie, accompanied by Li Qingshan, knocked on the doors of one Li family member after another.

The two sides exchanged a few brief words.

One by one, members of the Li family, fathers and sons, or brothers, silently donned simple bamboo armor, carrying machetes, bows and arrows, as well as specially made nets, lasso poles, simply refined flammable oil, fumigant that could stun wild beasts, and even some secretly crafted bamboo crossbows...

Fully armed, the group followed behind Li Tie and Li Qingshan towards the Zhang family's residence.

With this kind of force, let alone wiping out the entire Zhang family.

Even when caravans are being double-crossed by martial arts experts, there's no pressure.

For the first time, Li Qingshan realized that these uncles, elder brothers, and cousins ​​were not exactly law-abiding citizens.

Come to think of it.

Despite his short and thin stature, Old Master Li escaped from a cannibalistic famine decades ago, so how could he be a kind soul?

Li Qingshan found these things very strange, but given the current atmosphere, he didn't want to ask too many questions.

It wasn't until his father, Li Shitou, joined the group with a bamboo crossbow and casually handed him a wood-chopping knife that Li Qingshan finally couldn't hold back anymore.

As the eldest son in the family, he had no idea that there was a bamboo crossbow in the house.

Seeing his dumbfounded look, Li Tie grinned and chuckled:

"These things are only gradually introduced to the male members of the Li family after they reach the age of sixteen."

You were too young and immature before, and you couldn't keep your mouth shut. Knowing too much might have led to trouble and harmed the Li family.

Isn't this exactly the situation the Zhang family is facing now?

Old Man Li just asked Li Qingshan for his thoughts in order to test Li Qingshan's mind and decide whether or not to let him come into contact with these things in advance.

Li Qingshan didn't think that much about it.

He narrowed his eyes, another thought forming in his mind: "Brother Tie, are we all brought so much stuff to deal with Zhang San's nephew?"

The tax collectors from the Iron Legs Sect only explained the characteristics and benefits of developing martial bones, but did not mention any unique features of those who develop martial bones.

The village had produced a lucky person with martial arts talent before, but that was more than 20 years ago. Li Qingshan had only heard about it from his elders, but he didn't know the specifics.

Li Tie nodded, his expression grave.

"Your sister-in-law comes from a family of martial artists and has told me some secrets about martial arts bones."

Martial spirit is different from the innate talent for learning martial arts.

Martial bones are born with supernatural powers.

Once fully grown, they may possess the strength of a thousand pounds, or have a body of copper and iron that is impervious to swords and spears.

I don't know much either.

I just hope Zhang San's nephew isn't so lucky.

When the Li family went to deal with Zhang San's family before, they didn't notice anything special about Zhang San's nephew; he was beaten black and blue just like everyone else.

I just don't know if the matter of the martial bone is a misunderstanding.

But the Li family dared not gamble.

The blame lies with the Zhang family for not teaching their son properly, raising a scourge like Zhang San, who then leads his nephew astray, harming both himself and others!

...

After listening to Li Tie's rambling words, Li Qingshan felt even more pressure than when he buried someone for the first time in his previous life.

Is there something magical about Wu Gusheng?

He gripped the wood-chopping knife his father had just given him and fell silent.

Hopefully nothing unexpected happens.
