Qingdu Cave Mansion.
The closed stone door slowly opened, and Li Qinghong stepped out lightly, her breath was stable and strong, and the thunder on her body was much more restrained, only a little cold light on the tips of her hair and the corners of her clothes.
During this period of retreat, Li Qinghong's cultivation was stable, compared to the dazzling appearance when she broke through before, it now looked less dazzling, and it was difficult to see her immortal foundation at a glance.
Li Yuanjiao had already told her that he would follow Li Xuanxuan and the three of them to the [Hengzhu Dao Gate] in Hengdong County in a mysterious pattern spiritual mist, and Li Qinghong would go out to take care of the house.
Li Xiyu was handling affairs in the middle hall, and two piles of letters were piled up on the eucalyptus, looking very busy.
Li Qinghong then fell, and the hall fell to his knees, and Li Xiyu also quickly got up and said respectfully:
"Auntie is out of the mountain... The prayer altar is already being built, and there is still 60% of the construction period, which can be completed within a year."
"Okay."
Li Qinghong responded kindly, her immortal foundation [Xuan Lei Bo] has the effect of praying for thunder and inducing electricity, but I don't know if it has an effect, so I can only build a high platform to try it first.
Li Qinghong had sent people to build a high platform earlier, which was very troublesome, it took a lot of effort to engrave formations, collect spiritual objects, and create hexagonal thirty-six bronze vessels, even if the foundation building monks had to put in a lot of effort.
Fortunately, the Li family had a lot of hands, and Li Qinghong only burned the array patterns in the catalogue, so naturally Li Xiyu sent someone to do it.
Li Xiyu responded, took out two small letters from the eucalyptus, and said respectfully:
"The Yutingwei from the family who came and went to Xu and Zhao came back with news, please take a look."
Li Qinghong made a gesture, and the two letters were already unfolded in front of her.
One was news from Zhao Guo, [Leaving the Musk] Chu Yi went all the way north in Zhao State, destroyed three Hu Jie nobles, broke six large and small temples, faced a group of pursuers and broke through the Purple Mansion, and then worshipped a certain peak in Luoxia and entered the mountains to practice.
Li Qinghong was tongue-tied when she saw it, she didn't know how much preparation she had to make to break through the Purple Mansion in her usual foundation, and she was looking for a suitable place to retreat and all kinds of spiritual objects to set up formations, and she had to wait for the inspiration between heaven and earth to match the immortal foundation.
Even if he had made so many preparations, he still had to prepare all kinds of elixirs and retreat for many years in the heavy formation.
"This Chu Yi breaks through like a joke, saying that breaking through is a breakthrough... It is unheard of to break through the Purple Mansion after just a few months of seclusion."
He has broken through the Purple Mansion... It's only been ten years... broke through like this again... There is no doubt that it is the reincarnation of Jindan.'
Chu Yi broke through the foundation and achieved the Purple Mansion for only ten years, almost clearly telling the world that Chu Yi was the reincarnation of Jindan, and the three gates of the Hu Jie nobles and the six temples were nothing more than victims pushed out by the Buddhist side and the poor people who couldn't understand the situation.
"Ten years... It's really a golden elixir."
It's just that the letter didn't mention Chu Yi's immortal foundation, nor did he mention his supernatural powers, presumably he couldn't inquire about such news, which made Li Qinghong a little regretful.
"Luoxia Mountain has almost no contact with Jiangnan, Chu Yi entered the mountain, presumably sitting back on his golden pill and never returning."
As for the Yufu County family that destroyed the family, no one cared about the slaughtered forces, Li Qinghong glanced at it and wrote it down, and then looked at another small letter:
It was said that a group of demon cultivators came to the barren mountains by the river in the north, occupying several hills, which were originally harmless things, if it weren't for a scattered cultivator escaping here, the Li family wouldn't even know about it.
But according to this scattered cultivator, this demon cultivator's cultivation was not high, but one of them was holding a blood-colored treasure mirror, which was very powerful, and it was accompanied by a lot of questions at the back.
"Blood-colored treasure mirror?!"
Li Qinghong's eyes suddenly cooled:
"Zhang Huaide?!"
Li Xiyu nodded and responded in a low voice:
"According to the description of the scattered cultivator, it should be this Liao!"
At that time, a group of demon cultivators came from the west, including Zhang Huaide, Qiu Ji and others, who killed Tian Youdao and injured Li Xuanxuan and Xu Gongming and fled.
Zhang Huaide didn't care, that Qiu Ji killed his brother Li Yuanyun and almost killed Li Xuanxuan's culprit, Li Qinghong hated it deeply, and only whispered:
"What kind of cultivation does he have now?"
"It is said that it has reached the ninth level of qi training."
Li Xiyu bit the bullet and replied:
"All the demon cultivators are qi training monks, most of them are in the middle and late stages of qi training."
He was thinking about how to persuade his aunt next, but Li Qinghong looked hesitant:
"My brother went out, and most of the family's combat power was gone, so Zhang Huaide came at this time?"
Although she hated it deeply in her heart, she understood that this was probably not a coincidence, so she swallowed this breath and said softly:
"It's too strange, send someone to find out again."
"Yes!"
Li Xiyu nodded in response, feeling relieved, Li Qinghong said:
"You send someone to find out the location, I will let Wu Shao go and investigate one or two, Zhang Huaide has a good background, maybe he is the secret son of the three sects, and there must be something strange about staying here."
Li Xiyu respectfully agreed, and then Li Qinghong took advantage of the wind and repeatedly instructed:
"Ask clearly! It is too coincidental that the scattered cultivator defected to my family, don't believe it."
Li Xiyu nodded in response, watching Li Qinghong leave, returning to the top, flipping through the ledger, looking at Dou Yi at the bottom of the book, and said softly:
"One hundred and eighty-one pounds, is this the only one for this year's [Neshui Cold Iron]?"
Dou Yi already had gray hair and looked much more stable, and said in a deep voice:
"Back to the young master, that's all there is to it."
"Okay."
Li Xiyu asked him to go down very kindly, waved his hand, Chen Mufeng behind him stepped forward, Li Xiyu said softly:
"This [Ne Water Cold Iron] is incorrect with the number of changes in the ore veins reported by An Partridge, you quietly send Yu Tingwei to check... If you catch me, come back and report to me first."
Chen Mufeng has been cooperating with him for many years and said in a deep voice:
"This method is too stupid... The reserves of this vein can be found out as soon as you check, how much is missing and what is mined is not the same, there must be a problem, what is the private collection method?"
The Li family has "Listening to the Courtyard", the changes in the ore veins are clear at a glance, and all the families are indispensable for this method, so the Xiao family and other families can generously hand over the ore veins to their subordinate families to mine, and there is nowhere to hide them at all.
Li Xiyu shook his head:
"The mineral vein was reported to be 181 catties, but I sent someone to the warehouse to look at it, and it was 190 catties, and no one hid it privately."
"It should be because I saw that I was the first to run the house, and secretly tested it, if I made a big fuss and went back to the warehouse to calculate again, I would find out that it was one hundred and ninety pounds."
"In this way, I will count them as careless at most, and then launch the small monk of the accounting sect as a scapegoat to try my methods."
Li Xiyu followed Li Yuanping for nearly ten years for nothing, not to mention the means, at least he could see through the twists and turns below, and said with some hesitation:
"You go check first, and then report to me when you have news, my aunt's affairs are important, and it doesn't hurt to let this matter go."
Chen Mufeng took the order, Li Xiyu thought for a while, got up and rode the wind, went up to Qingdu Mountain, circled around, and gently landed in an ordinary small courtyard.
He knocked on the door and entered, and Li Yuanping was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a pen in his hand, carefully recording something.
Li Yuanping seemed to be in good spirits, but his hands were trembling and he couldn't hold the pen steadily.
Li Xiyu stepped forward, and Li Yuanping asked:
"What do you want to do?"
Li Xiyu hesitated for a while and replied:
"This matter... The monk of the small sect has been used as a scapegoat, we should start with the small sect, many brothers are very obedient to me, it should not be difficult to find out who secretly changed the number before and after this matter..."
"But find another scapegoat."
Li Yuanping shook his head and said softly:
"I'll teach you one last time..."
"This temptation is only to understand your preferences and test your bottom line, all the forces under your command benefit together, most of them acquiesce and support, and the monks of the small sect are also the scapegoats launched within the small sect... If you start with a small sect, it means that you are close to and trusting the branch, whether you rely on Yutingwei, start with the Dou family, or start with Fu Feng, it will reveal your preferences."
Li Yuanping said softly:
"The most taboo thing about this matter is that the monks under his command have the same interests, and they are contrary to you, Xiaozong is a victim on the surface, but he also agrees to admit it, and the only victim is the innocent monk."
Li Xiyu listened carefully, Li Yuanping smiled coldly and replied:
"You only need to send someone to the warehouse and secretly turn those 190 pounds into 181 pounds, and this rabble will naturally break themselves!"
Li Xiyu was stunned, nodded suddenly, and said happily:
"Yes!"
He nodded repeatedly and muttered:
"This is a big involvement! Xiao Zong definitely can't sit still, he will suspect which side is fake, he can only identify in turn, no one can eat seven or eight forces, they will inevitably bite each other, I just need to sit on the head, rule one or two, suppress the strong and support the weak, and maintain balance......"
Li Yuanping never agreed to him, and wrote silently, Li Xiyu had a plan in his heart, bowed deeply, and withdrew.
Li Yuanping calculated the days and wrote the family history, and waited for a while before seeing Li Qinghong come in on the wind, sitting beside him, pursing his red lips without speaking, just sitting like this.
The siblings sat quietly opposite each other, the cool breeze of early spring was slowly coming, Li Yuanping and this sister didn't see much in fact, and they didn't grow up together, he paused, and finally spoke:
"Zhang Huaide's matter is strange, and please endure your hatred and swallow your anger... Don't be impulsive."
Li Qinghong only said softly:
"Of course I understand, I have endured it for so many years, but I am afraid that I will endure it forever, and it will be easy to forget it after a long time."
Li Yuanping snorted, put down his pen, and replied:
"Therefore, history is written."
Li Qinghong looked at the few pages he had put down and said:
"Although Xiyu is not very tough, he has tried his best, and I have seen the changes in the past ten years, and I have already judged them like two people."
Li Yuanping nodded and replied:
"I understand."
……
Li Qinghong practiced shooting on the mountain for a few days, and before the demon cultivators in the north could inquire clearly, a demon deer had already come from the south and landed in front of the mountain very sensibly.
said that he was looking for Li Yuanjiao, but now that his brother was out, he could only be received by Li Qinghong, and the demon deer knelt on all fours in front of her, spitting out human words:
"Report to the immortals, my lord has found the clues to the [Blood Fruit], and I ask my seniors to follow me to the mountains and talk to my lord in detail."
"Okay!"
A smile appeared on Li Qinghong's face, she nodded, called Li Wushao out of the lake, and asked him to look at the house carefully, while he followed the demon deer into the mountains.
Li Yuanjiao and Li Qinghong had talked about this deer demon road reclamation, and now he had set up a demon cave at the northern foot of the mountain, and chose a mountain that was not very high, and the foot of the mountain was very gentle, and many deer had moved.
Li Qinghong and the little demon had just arrived in front of the cave, and Lu Ken had already greeted them naturally, with brown hair and black eyes, and was slightly stunned:
"Your Excellency...?"
"Under Li Qinghong, my brother Li Yuanjiao went out for family business, so I came over."
Li Qinghong responded with a smile, the deer demon's eyes blinked, and he nodded and said:
"I met Taoist friends in the lower road."
Lu Ken didn't hesitate to see her, and said with his hands:
"Brother Ling asked me to find a treasure medicine [Blood Fruit], and now that I have found a clue, I will report it to the nobles."
Li Qinghong nodded, and he continued:
"I inquired from many sources, and a Taoist friend from Nanlu once wrote back to me, saying that he had seen a tiger demon display this thing in the Quanwu Mountain Demon Cave.
Li Qinghong nodded slightly, but Lu Ken threw off his sleeves and said neatly:
"This demon still has a status in the Demon Cave of the Spring House, but unfortunately he is not a big man after all, and he is easy to bully."
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better for you and me to ride the wind and grab its treasure medicine, so as to save time and have any variables."
Luken is very natural:
"You and I snatched this spirit fruit first, and then try to see if we can kill it.
"If you can't grab it, try how to buy it."
Li Qinghong had no choice but to nod, after all, monsters are not of the same kind, they act directly, even more naked and unabashed, she asked:
"What kind of cultivation is this tiger demon?"
"Middle stage of foundation building."
Lu Ken looked at her face, understood his concerns, and replied:
"He is just a demon general without Taoism, and he can't learn the spells of the human race, he just has only demonic power, so the fairy doesn't need to worry."
He smiled:
"It's only been a month, and I'll understand when I see it."
Li Qinghong nodded, sensing the mysterious thunder in the Qi Sea Thunder Pool, he was indeed sure in his heart, and said politely:
"Please."
At the moment, as he rode the wind, the two flew into the clouds, Lu Ken seemed to be estimating her age, and sighed:
"The inheritance of nobility is really exquisite... The cultivation speed of your brother and sister is considered fast even in the family... I am very ashamed to wait for this kind of old thing who has practiced for hundreds of years."
Li Qinghong said a few words modestly, and Lu Kenfu said again:
"I don't know what kind of Daoist friend it is. Anyway, we have to join forces to fight the enemy later, so let's take a breath first."
Saying that, the deer demon first showed up his mana, a pair of large horns appeared on his forehead, and his voice became rough, and the demonic wind he was driving was fresh and pleasant, full of vitality, and he said in a deep voice:
"The one in the lower cultivation is [Lingyun Wood], which can heal, control qi, nourish the spirit, plant and cultivate the earth's veins, and transform into plants and trees......"
Once his immortal foundation was revealed, the speed of riding the wind became obviously faster, Li Qinghong tapped his head, purple electricity appeared under his feet, and the speed was even faster, his jade armor shone with purple thunder, and he said softly:
"[Xuan Leibo], drive away thunder and lightning, eliminate demons and suppress evil."
