Li Jiman rode a horse to Lijing Town, lying in the car and returning to Wutu City, the Li family's main courtyard was executed by the fetal monk, even if he had cultivation, it was useless, and he was still beaten to the point of being beaten.
Several unsmiling clan elders in the clan courtyard talked for a while and gave an evaluation of "neglecting their duties and indulging their surnames", which not only beat Li Jiman over and over again, but also slapped Li Jiman's face.
Tian Zhongqing stepped forward to apologize repeatedly, Li Jiman smiled and revealed it, but Tian Zhongqing felt a chill behind his back.
Although the clan courtyard and Li Yuanping's nave at the other end did not give any instructions to his family, they still made them sweat profusely.
As the head of the Tian family in the center of the storm, Tian Zhongqing choked in his throat when he heard this, and the joy of promoting qi training was gone.
"Get out! Evil beast!"
As Tian Youdao shouted loudly, Tian Rong covered his swollen cheeks in despair, Tian Zhongqing let go of the old man's hand, he really didn't want to stop Tian Youdao in his heart, and he simply slapped him to death......
But the old man's slap only staggered Tian Rong, and Tian Zhongqing knew that his uncle still felt sorry for this only son, and accompanied him to finish the play, and said in a deep voice:
"Uncle...... What can I do!"
Tian Youdao is also the old man of the Li family, from fetal breath to qi training, the seniority in the clan is very large, hearing the words for a long time, he said in a muffled voice:
"Li Jiman is narrow-minded and has been dissatisfied with my family, but now that this has happened, he has a big grudge......"
The uncle and nephew both practiced qi, they were the largest foreign force in the Li family, they had always been cautious, and they never thought that Tian Zhongqing was in seclusion, Tian Youdao went out, and was actually run out by Tian Rong, resulting in such a bad result.
Tian Zhongqing sighed and said in a low voice:
"Obviously, he was ordered, how could he be asked to run out, now Li Jiman has the support of many Shanyue nobles... If there are any changes in the future......
Tian Youdao sat up, he was over seventy years old, and he had seen a lot of things, and he was already pinching his beard and secretly calculating, thinking about it:
"This matter is strange, let me ask the head of the family and talk about it, if the clan wants to do something, I will cooperate!"
After all, Tian Youdao is Li Xuanfeng's uncle, and he is a senior in the family, and he is also qualified to say this, Tian Zhongqing couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this:
"Only my uncle in the clan 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 was solemn, and said in a deep voice:
"Speaking of this... My family can have such power now, it seems that my uncle and nephew have broken through qi training one after another, and the Tian family's spiritual aperture has repeatedly emerged, becoming the mainstay, winning the trust of the master, and restricting Shanyue, but Zhongqing..."
He looked at his nephew and whispered:
"You must know that I am the only one in my family's power and power!"
Tian Zhongqing nodded heavily, he is now also a person who has been married for many years, has many heirs, and is much more mature, and said in a muffled voice:
"The Ren family and the Dou family are tied to the Bo family, and now that there is Young Master Ximing, they are eagerly following, the Liu family has declined, and the Xu family is dedicated to being a pure minister in the army, and they do not rely on the east and the west, but there is nothing to worry about."
"And Mr. Ida..."
Tian Youdao is Li Xuanfeng's uncle, the Tian family has always been headed by his uncle line, but Li Xuanfeng went to Yishan City in Southern Xinjiang, and he still had no heirs under his knees, which left the Tian family without support.
Li Xuanfeng said that he was going to Yishan City to garrison, but there were a few more people who went to this city and came back, and everyone didn't say it in their hearts, just thinking that he would never come back, and the rest of the surnames didn't feel much, but Tian secretly beat the drum in his heart.
"Not bad."
Tian Youdao shook his head and replied:
"I'm afraid that one day something will happen to me, and the Tian family will be dismembered, just like the Liu family."
Tian Zhongqing hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:
"Uncle, look... How about the eldest son?"
Li Jiaximing is the eldest of the generation, Li Xiyu, the eldest son, Li Xizhi is the third, Li Ximing and Li Xijun are seven and eight respectively, and the other one daughter and three sons are all mortals, and they are sent down the mountain.
Li Xiyue is now in charge of affairs in Shanyue, and he is the only son of the Li family who has gone down the mountain to deal with affairs, but he is a lineage of Zhongmai Li Tongya, Tian Zhongqing has a lot of contact with him, and he has some understanding, and explained:
"The eldest son is very elegant, Kang is friendly, if the Tian family takes a female wife and concubine, I will devote myself to interacting with him again, and I will turn to Zhongmai, maybe I can find a big tree."
"Zhongmai was once in decline, and there was no maternal help, so it was really the best choice!"
Tian Youdao took a sip of tea and replied:
"You go and give it a try, build a good relationship first, I think he has more than enough elegance, not tough enough, he is easy to cling to, if you can gain his trust, you will have no worries for generations."
────
In the hall with many guards, Li Yuanping was dressed in a brocade robe, sitting cross-legged, and white lights appeared on the futon under him, helping him concentrate and avoid interference.
"Master! A letter from the west road."
The clan soldiers who came up from below chanted in a low voice, and saw that Li Yuanping was practicing in the main hall, and did not dare to step forward for a while.
Li Yuanping has rarely been more relaxed recently, and he also has time to free up time to practice, although the income is small, but it is better than nothing.
"Take it up."
Li Yuanping exhaled, stretched out his hand to take the letter, and made a specific method to untie the secret letter, and read it:
"The winter river has reached the desert in the west, this place is called the Guyan Desert, the two entourages are respectful and unharmed, there are many passes here, I am equivalent to the Guyan Temple under the rule of the Golden Feather Sect, the three of us work together, and we can return in seven years."
"Okay!"
Seeing that there was a way to collect the [Golden Yang Huangyuan] in the west, Li Yuanping was overjoyed, looked at the small letter in his hand, and said suspiciously:
"Where did this come from?"
"Report to the head of the family."
The clan soldier replied:
"It was brought by the miscellaneous merchants on the road."
Li Yuanping nodded suddenly, took the pen and ink and wrote a big "good", and wrote some words of encouragement and thanks, sealed it with his own seal, and threw it into Dou Yi's hand:
"Reward him with some spiritual rice and let him take it back."
I heard that there was something like transmission notes thousands of years ago, but somehow later, this type of talisman either became ineffective or expensive, and few people used it.
Retracting his thoughts, Li Yuanping focused on his family affairs.
"Shanyue is easy to handle."
Since Li Yuanjiao mentioned this matter a few days ago, he chatted with Li Yuanping in detail, and soon returned to the mountains to practice, while Li Yuanping was focused on how to solve these two matters.
Li Yuanping, the land of Shanyue, had long been dissatisfied and secretly made arrangements, but a group of children in the clan gave Li Yuanping a headache.
"I really want to be like my brother said...... Where else can I find somewhere..."
Li Yuanping sorted out the letters on the eucalyptus and took out the information of several surrounding families.
The Yu family has not moved these days, Yu Mugao is buried in sorting out the clan, killing a group today, releasing a batch tomorrow, although his brothers are numerous, they can't fight, and they are slaughtered as lambs every day.
"You really dare to kill......"
Li Yuanping looked at the roster above and pursed his lips, Yu Mugao was killed happily, leaving behind many hidden dangers, he shook his head and started the idea of the East Bank families.
Although most of them were small families practicing qi, they were quite complicated, entangled in many ways, and no one touched them.
The north shore of Mochiyue Lake and the east bank of Wangyue Lake were once the territory of the Jinmen, and the families on the east bank were inextricably linked with the Jinmen, although now the Jinmen is weak and has lost this territory, but there is still a bit of humanity, which is one of them.
Second, the families on the east bank held several mineral veins and treasure lands such as spiritual springs, all of which were secretly controlled by the Xiao family in the west, and some Xiao families guarded them in the name of Keqing to maintain the situation and make profits.
It shouldn't have been something that should have happened, but the Qingchi Sect turned a blind eye, and the Xiao family had the heart to see this broken appearance, so it was maintained year after year.
What's more, Mochiyue Lake is next to the Xiao family, and the buffer zone between them is maintained by these families, bordering the Jinmen in the north and the Li family and the Ding family in the south.
It is these many factors that have abruptly maintained the families on the east bank, and there have been no major changes in the past hundred years.
"When the market collapsed and the Yu family declined, my family also had the opportunity to accept a few offerings, but there was a shortage of manpower at that time, and I just wanted to hide my light and not get involved in it, so I missed it."
Li Yuanping thought for a while, couldn't help but move in his heart, and thought to himself:
"It just so happens that my family is tight on finances now, if I can intervene in it... First, I can get some offerings, and secondly, I can 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 of the head:
"Go to the clan courtyard to get me a copy of the information of the families on the East Coast."
Dou Yi nodded quickly and hurriedly went down, never thinking that someone would also run up from below, and said respectfully:
"Report to the head of the family! There are monks on the road asking for an audience!"
"Dao monk?"
Li Yuanping hesitated slightly, knowing that it was not easy to report to the palace, so he just asked:
"What kind of cultivation? But do you have something to ask for?"
The clan soldier below the steps opened his mouth and replied:
"According to An Keqing, I'm afraid it's not a monk of the Purple Mansion Jindan Dao, wearing a cuff Taoist robe, looking like a teenager, saying that his momentum far exceeds the foundation building, as for affairs, you have to meet the head of the family to say it."
An Yuyan had also seen Yu Xiaogui and Li Tongya back then, and he could probably estimate the strength of the foundation building monks, which was far beyond the foundation building, which couldn't help but make Li Yuanping look solemn.
"Not a Purple Mansion Jindan Dao monk!? Want to see me?"
Li Yuanping suddenly froze, and said in a deep voice:
"Let's remind Brother Jiao, call ...... You don't have to call him over and let him watch from the mountain...... An Keqing and others suppressed together... In case this person suddenly bursts out."
Li Yuan's face was a little ugly, he had always hated this kind of unexpected trouble the most, not to mention that although the other party came to the door politely, this person's cultivation far exceeded that of the foundation, and the Li family couldn't bear to make a fuss.
"Damn it!"
He expressed his dissatisfaction in a vicious voice, and then let out a long breath and said in a low voice:
"Please go to the side hall and wait."
"Yes!"
Dou Yi and the others shrank their heads, and Li Yuanping sat back and said to himself:
"Seeing through the bundle is not a release, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will change... Maybe it's a demon cultivator... My family has never seen the Jiangnan demon cultivator, I have only heard that the appearance is no different from ordinary people, and I am afraid I can't recognize it."
He took two steps down the stairs, after all, he was a foundation building level visitor, and the Li family now had enough for him, so he wouldn't cause people to suddenly kill and lose too much.
"You shouldn't show cowardice at this time, for fear that it will make people suspicious, and you will meet him."
Li Yuanping walked to the front of the hall and took light steps, and then walked to the corridor, and saw Li Wen, who had a simple face, grabbing a golden melon as big as a human head in one hand and following him without saying a word.
Li Yuanping looked at his mountain-like figure, and really felt a little more secure, and said with a smile:
"What a fool!"
"Hehe."
Li Wen smiled muffledly, Li Yuanping arrived in front of the side hall and said softly:
"No need to follow up, just wait outside."
After all, there is too much difference between building a foundation and practicing qi, according to An Yuyan's description, Li Wen going up is a matter of a palm in the palm of others, and he still seems to have a guilty conscience.
Seeing that Li Wen responded in a daze, Li Yuanping pushed the door in.
In the side courtyard, there was a simple and unpretentious place, only a few wooden eucalyptus were placed, and next to the small eucalyptus on the side was sitting a young man, with a Taoist crown on his head, an ordinary face, and a sword on his lap, but it looked like a peach wood sword.
He looked only in his twenties, wearing this ordinary Taoist robe, with gold patterns embroidered on the cuffs, and he didn't know where he was wearing it.
"Twenty-year-old foundation?"
Li Yuanping had already decided in his heart that this person had used illusion to cover up his appearance, and he became more and more vigilant.
"The Li family welcomes the senior, I don't know what the senior calls?"
Li Yuanping took a step forward, put on a smile on his face, and asked softly without humility or arrogance.
"I've seen the head of the family! Xun, the King of Yinghua County in Zhao State! The head of the family is polite!"
Unexpectedly, the monk's reaction was very big, he jumped up from the edge of the table, and the peach wood sword on his lap jumped in the air, floating lightly in mid-air.
Seeing this person's answer and tone, Li Yuanping felt a little relieved in his heart, his eyes swept on the peach wood sword without a trace, and said with a smile:
"It turns out to be a guest of Zhao Guo! In the lower Li Yuanping, there is a loss of distant welcome, and there is a loss of distant welcome."
"I don't dare."
Wang Xun saw that Li Yuanping did not look up, but sat down on the side, obviously giving himself face, and his restrained expression suddenly relaxed, and he also sat down.
Looking at the reaction of the young man in front of him really didn't seem to be pretending, the burden in Li Yuanping's heart suddenly went three points more, and he became more and more free, and said softly:
"Look at the tea!"
Li Yuanping smiled, looked at the shy and shy look of the young man in front of him, did not dare to relax his vigilance, and said softly:
"May I ask senior... What is your background? Can you entrust me with something? If my family can do it, it will be done by the seniors."
This young man probably doesn't walk around the world often, and he said a series of things without saying his origin, Li Yuanping asked about his origin, just to see if he was a big sect so that he could deal with it.
So he asked with a smile while picking up the jade pot to add tea to him.
The young man was stunned, nodded repeatedly, thinking that he was asking about his family genealogy, and hurriedly replied:
"I was born in the Yinghua royal family, and I am the great-grandson of Xiaojin Zhenjun and the son of Yingyuan Zhenren..."
"Wow......"
Li Yuanping seemed to have been slapped inexplicably, his head was buzzing, and his steady hand shook suddenly.
"Xiaojin Zhenjun! Golden Pill Monk!"
He raised his head in a daze and said in disbelief:
"Senior... said it was... The great-grandson of the true king, the son of the real person?!"
