Li Xiang sat calmly by the fire, his face was golden red with the bright red fire, his leather clothes were tattered, his expression was tired, and the hair on his legs was slightly curled, but he stared straight at the taro in the fire pit.
He had been fleeing around these days, almost dying at the hands of those qi cultivators several times, and he didn't know how many life and death separations he had seen, how many Shanyue generals he had killed, and encouraged those people to attack the Great Jue Court.
Li Xiangping's expression no longer had the leisure of the deep house compound, but restored a kind of earthy roughness, the blood and fire of these days have trained Li Xiangping to a taste of iron blood, and he and Jiani Xi are becoming more and more similar.
"My lord!"
Ah Huila still didn't correct his name, and even led a group of Shanyue generals Li Qiuyang and Chen Donghe astrayed, calling him the king.
"That Mu Jiaoman went to Wushan, and I don't know what the idea was!"
Chen Donghe's leather armor on his arm was broken, revealing a crimson wound, covered in dirt and black blood, holding the map in his hand and thinking, copying the route and patterns in the map with his fingers, and said with a solemn expression:
"Be careful, my lord!"
"That's right!"
Li Xiangping smiled, silently clenched the clear pearl on his waist, and thought to himself:
"Most of them are going to invite the foundation building monks, they can't delay it any longer, and they must deliver this thing to their homes as soon as possible."
Li Xiangping hit all the way to the westernmost part, and saw this transparent orb from the altar of a large family, and the mysterious pearl talisman in the Qi Sea Cave jumped inexplicably, and immediately understood that this thing was probably inseparable from his own family's Dharma appraisal, so he took this orb and took it with him from time to time.
Looking at Chen Donghe with a solemn expression, Li Xiangping wanted to tease him, looked up at him narrowly, and said with a smile:
"Hey, He'er, do you like my Jing Tian! Do you want to propose a kiss to you?"
Chen Donghe's handsome face turned red for a moment, he looked down at his toes and didn't speak, Li Qiuyang on the side hugged his stomach and laughed, Chen Donghe kicked him angrily, not daring to look at Li Xiangping.
Li Xiangping also shook his head happily and said with a smile:
"If Tian'er is willing, I have no objection! But my family Tian'er must be the wife!"
Chen Donghe's face became hot when he heard this, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and stammered:
"I... I...... Categorical... will not live up... Tian'er..."
Everyone burst into laughter, laughing so much that Chen Donghe wanted to go underground, Ah Huila laughed so hard that he coughed and cursed:
"I'll wait for Shanyue to take a liking to me and snatch it back to be my wife, so I don't care about your strangers."
"Do you want to try?"
Li Xiangping raised his eyebrows and smiled, so frightened that Ah Huila cried out for mercy, Chen Donghe smiled lightly, and finally jumped out of the embarrassment.
The smell of incense has already spread, and Li Xiangping ate very carefully, as if he missed the days when he was twelve or thirteen years old when he secretly roasted taro next to the pit with his eldest brother Li Changhu.
Li Qiuyang beside him looked around cautiously, guarding against the eagle eyes in the sky, and looked down at Li Xiangping's eyes full of deep reverence.
Just as the Shanyue believed that Jiani Xi was the son of destiny, the soldiers who followed Li Xiangping also believed that their head of the family was invincible.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xiangping, but he suddenly put down the taro in his hand and was stunned.
Li Xiangping vaguely saw himself kneeling on the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, surrounded by cries for help and crying.
"I'm going to die, I can't avoid it, I can't prolong it."
The cold air rushed from the ridge to the top of his head, Li Xiangping muttered, snatched the map from Chen Donghe's hand, picked up a piece of charcoal that was still hot from the pit, closed his eyes and pondered, and drew on the map.
"My lord!"
Chen Donghe was so shocked that he was overwhelmed, but quickly knelt down on the ground and looked at him worriedly.
After Li Xiangping finished smearing, he stuffed a transparent orb into his arms, and said in a deep voice hurriedly and quickly:
"After I die, Mu Jiaoman will definitely come back to help, you wait to go east and return home along this road!"
Before Chen Donghe could speak, he saw Li Xiangping gritted his teeth and whispered:
"No matter what, you must hand over this orb to Li Tongya!"
"Everyone!"
Li Xiangping stood up, regardless of Chen Donghe, who was still in a daze under him, and said loudly:
"After my death, you will all return east with the winter river, and you are not allowed to stay here......"
Li Qiuyang and the others were at a loss when they heard this, but they saw Li Xiangping's voice getting quieter and quieter, sitting softly on the ground, and hurriedly said:
"My lord!"
"Master!"
Li Xiangping raised his eyes to look at the scorching sun in the sky, and all kinds of illusions appeared in his eyes, and the sun seemed to fall gently into a gap, falling in front of him like a meteor.
The notch was sparking, and it was landing in his heart, making him slanted and blind, he had once roasted the fat pig-like patriarch of the Shanyue tribe alive with fire, and now this pain extended to him equally.
"My lord!"
The world in Li Xiangping's eyes had darkened, he couldn't see anything, he only felt that someone was throwing himself on him, and hot tears fell on his face, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he laughed low with the remaining strength:
"What a low method!"
Li Xiangping's long hair spread out, revealing sparse white hair, he lived to the age of an ordinary farmer with candy and grandson, and he had never suffered any major grievances in his life.
Thick black gas came out of the void, melting his gray-black eyes and making his body wither, Li Xiangping spewed out a mouthful of black blood from his throat and said hoarsely:
"I've already earned money in this life!"
Many images appeared in his mind, and finally slowly froze on a winding river, a young man caught a herring, held up a tattered blue-gray mirror suspiciously, the morning sun shone on his face, and smiled brightly.
The black qi came and went quickly, shriveling Li Xiangping's body before he wanted to escape back to the void, but he saw a gray light emerging from Li Xiangping's Shengyang Mansion.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books at present, Wild Fruit Reading, .yeguoyuedu install the latest version. 】
The black gas stagnated, and they poured into Li Xiangping's Shengyang Mansion, like a starving ghost who saw a big meal, and they all disappeared.
Only Li Xiangping's withered body was left kneeling on the ground, and a pale white light gushed out from his qi sea cave, gently escaping into the void.
"Spell is a killing spell! Mu Jiaoman, you villain!"
"Master!"
Chen Donghe knelt in front of Li Xiangping and burst into tears, lowered his head and cried for a while, pinching blood out of his fists, and his ears were full of whimpers.
"Buzz..."
Hearing a noisy buzzing sound of flapping his wings, Chen Donghe was stunned, restrained his crying, knelt on the ground with a mournful face and moved a few steps, listening with his ears on Li Xiangping's body.
"Shut up!"
Chen Donghe frowned and shouted, everyone's voices suddenly became quieter, seeing him listen to Li Xiangping's corpse for a while, and carefully put him down.
Chen Donghe's trembling fingers slowly rested on the corners of Li Xiangping's pale mouth, pursed his lips and pressed gently, and suddenly the noisy flapping of wings became louder.
"Buzz......
As soon as Chen Donghe exerted force, a gray-black locust suddenly jumped out of Li Xiangping's mouth, covered in barbs, with lines on its thin wings like leaves, jumped on Chen Donghe's hand and jumped for a while, flapping its wings and flying away.
"This ......"
"Locusts! A lot of locusts!"
The people below shouted, and before several people could react, they saw hundreds or thousands of gray-black locusts emerging from under Li Xiangping's body, buzzing and rising into the sky, like a black storm rising into the sky.
"Winter River...... this..."
Ah Hui spoke in a daze, Chen Donghe took a few steps back, still with tears on his face, picked up Li Xiangping's green black bow, and glanced at the disappeared corpse.
The locusts in the sky slowly rose, and Chen Donghe gritted his teeth and said:
"Let's go! Don't let them catch you!"
————
Lijing Mountain.
"Harm."
A white pill with a glittering white light suddenly emerged from the void and was thrown into the blue-gray mirror on the stone platform, stirring up a burst of pale white moonlight, and a faint sigh sounded in the courtyard.
"Li Xiangping, you have been picking me up for twenty-five or six years......"
The child who caught fish back then is still vividly remembered, but Li Xiangping in the west has already fallen, Lu Jiangxian's emotions are a little complicated, and when the words come to his lips, he doesn't know what to say.
Lu Jiangxian felt that his consciousness and mana were constantly rising, and the information recorded in the Xuanzhu talisman slowly flowed into the mirror, Li Xiangping died due to the spell, and his cultivation was at the peak of fetal breath, but the mana that emerged from the Xuanzhu talisman was greatly beyond Lu Jiangxian's expectations.
"The feedback of the Xuan Zhu Fu seed seems to be not only related to cultivation, but also involves ethereal and void things such as luck and incense, he took away Jiani Xi's luck and snatched Shanyue's incense."
Lu Jiang Immortal's mirror surface was full of light, the moon mysterious light was also wandering in the mirror body, the power could already kill the monks at the peak of qi cultivation, the increase in the upper limit of mana allowed him to release five Taiyin mysterious lights in a row, and he could also block a block when he encountered a foundation building monk, and it would take three days to recover afterwards.
"The black qi of that spell was originally a spell transformed from the qi, and it was swallowed by the qi in Li Xiangping's body, and I don't know what kind of change it had."
Lu Jiangxian has been studying the structure of the spell in the courtyard these days, and he has not made much progress, fortunately, he does not eat or sleep, and he has no needs, so he can spend more than ten years researching, no need to worry, just grind slowly.
"It's that orb."
Lu Jiangxian swallowed a mouthful of non-existent saliva, he had much less desire after becoming an instrument spirit, and he tried his best to force himself to watch the fireworks in the world below the mountain to maintain mood swings, but the pearl that Li Xiangping got made him desire from the bottom of his heart.
Outside the hospital
Li Tongya was explaining swordsmanship to Li Xuanling in the courtyard, when his heart suddenly trembled and he stopped moving.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Li Tongya frowned, a little uneasy, waved his hand, and said in a low voice:
"It's okay."
But I was thinking:
"The formation on Lijing Mountain must be set up early, or there is no formation to rely on, and the heart is always empty."
"Bell!"
There was a loud bang on the door and window, causing Li Tongya and Li Xuanling to look back.
Li Xuanling walked over cautiously, opened the window, and saw that a thin gray-black locust had been hit dead on his head, and his upper body had been smashed, and he would stick to the window.
Li Tongya's spiritual consciousness had already been seen clearly, and he felt a little sad inexplicably, so he took the locust and looked at it carefully.
"Hey."
Li Tongya's spiritual consciousness scanned and saw that there was no trace of demonic aura on this locust, but there was a faint sense of familiarity.
"Let's go into the mountains tomorrow to inquire about Xiang Ping's whereabouts."
Shaking his head and putting this thought behind, Li Tongya waved his hand and threw it out the window, and said softly:
"Don't be distracted, read this "Xuanshui Sword Technique" carefully."
But hearing a commotion, Li Xuanxuan walked in happily holding the swaddling baby and whispered:
"Father Zhong!"
Li Tongya raised his eyebrows, his face was also a little happy, and he asked:
"The child was born? Is it a man or a woman?"
Li Xuanxuan married a woman with a spiritual aperture with a foreign surname as his wife the year before last, that woman was not highly talented, and so far it is only a layer of Xuanjing Wheel, Li Xiangping also pointed out a few good-looking mortal women to give him as concubines, and now this is the first direct descendant.
"It's a man!"
The smile on Li Xuanxuan's face couldn't be hidden, and he tightened the child, and then he saw Li Tongya smiling and said:
"This is the first three generations of our Li family, have you thought of a name?"
"According to the characters, it should be Yuan!"
Li Xuanxuan laughed, muttered to the child in a low voice for a while, and replied:
"Just call Li Yuanxiu"
"Li Yuanxiu..."
Li Tongya nodded and smiled, glanced at the child, and said silently:
"Not bad, not bad."
"How many children did your concubine have?"
Seeing Li Tongya suddenly speak, Li Xuanxuan raised his head and replied:
"One son and one daughter, only three or five years old."
Li Tongya thought about it and said in a deep voice:
"In the future, if my Li family is a direct lineage, and the illegitimate son has no spiritual aperture, the family will be demoted to a small sect, and those with spiritual apertures will be classified as the main sect, and the three generations of the small clan who have no spiritual aperture will be demoted to a branch, and those with spiritual apertures will recognize the ancestral lineage as the great sect."
Li Xuanxuan was stunned, nodded, and wondered:
"The Ye family now has more than 2,000 people, if these people with spiritual apertures are carried back to the branch, how will they be dealt with?"
"Stop at Xiaozong."
Li Tongya pondered for a few breaths and replied.
Li Qiuyang is now a branch of the Li family, and if the legitimate son he gave birth to has a spiritual aperture, he can be carried back to the small sect, but if he is reborn as a legitimate grandson with a spiritual aperture, he cannot be carried back to the main sect.
"This ensures that all the people in the clan are people of my grandfather's lineage......"
Li Xuanxuan nodded, and when he saw Li Tongya's uneasy face, he spoke:
"Why is this, Zhongfu?"
Li Tongya opened his mouth, looking a little tired, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm still worried about Xiang Ping, I'll go to the west at night, and you can wait for a good home."
