Li Xuanxuan arrived at the main hall, the hall was brightly lit, Li Zhouluo was still in the hall, it seemed that he had just dealt with government affairs, was practicing spells, pinched a trick in his hand, five or six golden edges hovered on his fingers, making a piercing howl.
The old man came up, the young man immediately opened his eyes, stopped the spell in his hand, got off the main seat, and said respectfully:
"The old man is here."
Li Xuanxuan nodded, coughed, and replied:
"Thank you for your hard work these days... Things on the West Bank are troublesome, you are caught between a few veins, and there is no one who understands you, so it is very difficult to do... Have you heard about Xi Xuan's affairs?"
Li Zhouluo saluted and replied:
"This is the responsibility of the younger generation, as for the elders... Zhou Zhong has been complaining a little recently, but it is not directed at the old man, most of them blame Qing Du, saying that there are many traitors among them who provoke the clan."
He led Li Xuanxuan to sit down aside and said:
"I have read the letters the old man wrote to me a few days ago, and it is indeed tricky."
Li Xuanxuan shook his head and said:
"Back then, the ancestors decided that if the disciples of the Great Sect had no spiritual aperture, they were not allowed to be officials or businessmen, and after all, the Continent had a strong spiritual energy, and the Great Sect had a noble status. After thinking about it, these two prohibitions still cannot be let go, and even if a fool sits in it, someone will come up and give money... Not to mention how harmful it is to have a few thoughts, then it will be bad."
Li Xuanxuan first made up his mind, and then Li Zhouluo said in a low voice:
"The juniors have also thought about it during this time, the continent is indeed too idle, they are all under Qingdu's noses, and they are not comfortable living, these two are definitely not loose, other places can make up for it, and the supervision of property can be relaxed... They rely on the children and sisters of immortal cultivation to get some property, it is difficult to blame, and those competitive methods that divide foreign surnames cannot be placed on them.
After hearing this, Li Xuanxuan said in a loud voice:
"Don't underestimate mortals, these people are the parents of future monks, I am afraid of cultivating extravagance... The clan system is to be changed, but it cannot be changed in your hands... Ji Mai is your only seedling, if you offend all the clansmen, it means that the clan is alienated."
Li Zhouluo didn't think about this, nodded slightly, listened attentively, and replied when he saw the old man:
"The current plan is to stabilize them for a few years, and keep you all out of the way, it is best to have a good reputation, and in the future, Ji Mai and the two veins will be friendly, which is also an extremely important thing."
Di Liguang had already retired, Li Zhouluo personally served tea to the old man, and listened to Li Xuan's preaching:
"How many people are in the shade right now?"
Li Zhouluo replied:
"I follow the clan system and do not give it easily, I only gave it to a few orphans of my fallen uncles and brothers, and the rest of the mortal people were all clansmen begging bitterly, I softened my heart, considered it as appropriate, and gave some small official positions to place..."
He didn't confess to Brother Zhou Fang, he only said that he was soft-hearted, Li Xuanxuan took a sip of tea and replied:
"Tomorrow morning, you bring someone to my courtyard to intercede for Xi Xuan, and you want to take Zhou Fang with you, I think he has been very anxious recently... After pleading, you can take Xi Xuan out."
Li Zhouluo replied respectfully, and the old man continued:
"When you take him back to this palace, say that you can't see your brothers and sisters suffering, and you have already considered shading and promoting mortals."
"This shady thing, let Qing Du come to choose, use the method of secret investigation, take into account character, parents' achievements, knowledge, loyalty and filial piety, promote juniors, inspect for three years, and publish the list of sacrifices in three years."
Li Zhouluo understood, and the old man continued:
"Don't mention the number of people in this directory, let them stabilize for a few years first, and after three years, you will promote people from all walks of life, just come down from the position, and it is enough to earn enough fame, waiting for Jiang to move out and sing whiteface... This child is fierce and ruthless, clever in mind, and he is not afraid of offending anyone, enough for them to drink a pot."
Li Zhouluo was convinced of this old man, there were not many people in the clan who understood his embarrassing situation, Li Xuanxuan was always the old man who was thinking about him, and he was secretly moved at the moment and replied:
"Thank you, old man."
Li Xuanxuan nodded and replied:
"Although the intentions in the continent are the same, there are not a few who stand out, among the four people who embarrassed you that day, Cheng Zhan and Xi Ye are very good at appeasement, Xi Xuan is locked up at the moment, only Cheng? Stubborn, he loves his clan very much in his heart, and he acts very spicy, so it's best to spend him out, and the rest will be leaderless."
"Although I came in secret, I have already shown up, and sooner or later the continent will know, and you understand how to say it... You don't have to me..."
He was only halfway through speaking, listening to a burst of hurried footsteps in front of the hall, Di Liguang's voice was urgent, and he said in a low voice:
"Master, urgent report in the continent."
Li Zhouluo saw Li Xuanxuan nodding and said:
"Bring it in."
Di Liguang quickly approached, bowed to the two of them, and said respectfully:
"Young Master Zhou Wei arrived in the continent and went to the courtyard of Yuan Wanmai to make a fuss, and at night the clansmen invited the elders of other veins to come and were crying in the courtyard, and were scolded by the young master and fled, and several elders were very embarrassed."
Li Zhouluo was stunned when he heard this, but Li Xuanxuan was not surprised, stood up from his seat, and said plainly:
"This evil beast is causing trouble everywhere, you and I will go and arrest him now."
Li Zhouluo understood that the old man was going to go over to support Li Zhouyi, so he nodded and said:
"My lord, please..."
The two of them rode the wind together, and soon fell into a house on the continent, occupying a large area, antique, and the compound in the middle was a mess, and several middle-aged people stood in the yard with red faces, full of noisy sounds.
Li Zhou was wearing a red robe, but sat in the compound, with a fan at hand, and even a little smile.
Li Xuanxuan and Li Zhouluo fell into the yard, and suddenly there was a cry, and they all knelt down, and Li Zhouluo also jumped up from his seat and bowed:
"I have seen my ancestors! I've seen the head of the family!"
Li Xuanxuan glanced at it and replied:
"You're causing trouble again! There are so many elders here, how can you have a voice, you are here to teach your brothers a lesson."
Li Zhouwei quickly replied:
"Ancestor, I passed by this place, and the yard was crying, so I wondered if Uncle Xi Xuan was old and had to do something for nothing, and only after hearing it did I know that Uncle Xi Xuan lived on Qingdu Mountain..."
He hugged his hands and said angrily:
"I saw them in a hurry to divide the family property and mourned in advance, and my heart was so angry... I really can't stop..."
"You... You spit blood!"
The middle-aged man on the side flushed again when he heard this, and Li Zhouwei smiled:
"Isn't it a division of family property? What is that?"
There was a riot around, Li Cheng? Immediately stood up, pulled the people on both sides to silence them, glared at the people around them with their eyes, and finally made the people in the courtyard shut up.
Li Cheng? He was one of the few remaining monks in the Chengming generation, except for the two foundations, his cultivation was the highest, the two brothers went to the river with him, and he was the only one left, who had broken his arm before, and it was Li Ximing who continued it.
Now my daughter is dying in Funan, with great hard work, full of experience, and ups and downs in the world, which is not comparable to this group of people on the continent.
"The old man pulled the side, and there would be no result in arguing with Zhou Wei, but he questioned us, and we had to grasp the current situation."
He raised his eyebrows and bowed:
"Lord, Young Master Zhou Wei made a big fuss in the courtyard for no reason, insulting the elders and clansmen, please hand it over to Qingdu."
Li Xuanxuan was even more spicy than him, nodded immediately, and replied:
"Yes, come on... Please go to Qingdu."
Di Liguang immediately walked up quickly and invited Li Zhouwei down, the young man slapped a fan and went down angrily, Li Xuanxuan coughed and stretched out his hand to take Li Cheng? Helped him up, he said gently:
"Just right, my son is here, I'm looking for you, I have an important family matter to tell you."
Li Cheng? Although he was stubborn, he respected Li Xuanxuan, and when he heard this, he hurriedly got up, followed him out respectfully, leaving a group of people in the yard, you look at me, I look at you, some want to quit, some cry to Li Zhouluo in front of the courtyard, and some ask for guilt.
Li Xuanxuan used two sentences to make the turmoil in the courtyard disappear, with Li Cheng? After leaving the yard and walking for a while, the old man sighed:
「? Son, Ming Gong and Chenghuai are in seclusion, there are not many elders in the clan, and many things will fall on you... Xuan Yue moved away, Cui Jueyin returned to the continent, the families and wilderness on the east bank should not be in Jiang Xia's hands, and the authority of the commander of Milin Mountain on the east bank cannot be vacant, and you must be invited to take charge of palace affairs for him."
This is a busy and informative thing, but Li Cheng? He threw off his robe and bowed down, his voice was still low:
"There is life on the lake, Cheng? Die a thousand deaths! It's just that my ancestors didn't want to settle down in the continent before sending me out..."
He kowtowed and replied:
"The clan uncle is in trouble, the younger generation is just to keep the inheritance, but there must be a problem with this matter in the clan now, then it must be changed, I, the Mochizuki Li clan, raised a group of idle people on the continent, a group of Zifu immortals who cultivate the land, what kind of system is it... I need to change it, my lord..."
Li Xuanxuan helped him up and instructed:
"I know what you think, you also grew up in the yard with Chengliao and the others, otherwise you wouldn't have worked hard in the north at the beginning, Chengming's whole life is not a bastard, I think so... You put the younger generation in the clan... Those who dare to fight, especially those who are not supported by their elders, bring them over together and follow you to learn and take a look..."
"Thank you, sir!"
Li Cheng? Nodding repeatedly, Li Xuanxuan comforted him a few times, sent him away, rolled up his sleeves and stood in place, lifted his breath and relieved, supported the lacquered wooden pillars in the cloister to look at the night view, there was a purple aura on the edge of the sky, he was puzzled, and soon saw Di Liguang coming up in a hurry, reporting:
"Old man, the people from Ziyanmen are here, and the crowd is waiting so lively, pointing to see the old man."
"So fast!"
Li Xuanxuan was surprised and happy, at this time a group of people from the Purple Smoke Sect came, and they also named and wanted to see him, it must be a formation, and he quickly lifted his foot and left.
Two steps to the main hall, Wen Wu had been waiting for a long time, and was chatting with Li Zhouluo, when he saw him smiling, he took out two carp-like wooden boxes from his sleeves and said with a smile:
"The old-timers are still so kind and gentle, and the younger generations are warm in their hearts... I thought that the children were filial, so I went to Ziqi Peak and brought Que Yi's letter as well!"
Wen Wu acted very likably, sent the letter to Li Xuanxuan's hand, the old man also smiled, took it with one hand, he was a monk in the late stage of qi training, he didn't need to weigh it, he knew that the weight in this box was much worse, he turned his hand and put it away, and replied:
"It's really hard work, sir... The children at home are stupid, and they have to trouble the senior brother to teach them well."
Wen Wu laughed and replied:
"The old-timers don't know, my Purple Smoke Blessed Land has competitions every year, each cultivation level competes separately, the little junior sister has profound techniques, reacts extremely quickly, and is happy to win the sixth fetal breath, and she has been rewarded!"
"Everyone in the sect knows that she is from the Mochiyue Immortal Clan, and they praise her with their fingers, saying that she has the demeanor of Shen Yanqing back then..."
Li Zhouluo nodded repeatedly and asked:
"I don't know if it's appropriate..."
Wen Wu took it quickly and said with a smile:
"She is also very competitive... The combination of the qi training monk's spells and exercises in the sect has taken shape, and the magic weapons are very powerful, Que Yi got thirty-one among the cultivators in the early stage of qi training, and almost entered thirty, although it was a pity, but one hand [Moon Que Sword Arc] made Qi Jianfeng Peak Master raise his eyebrows, and his skills were shocking!"
Wen Wu said nicely, Li Zhouluo was also very surprised, and replied:
"The Purple Smoke Blessed Land is so powerful that I can't learn it at home, how long I've only been in, and I'll master it immediately."
Li Xuanxuan smiled and brought the topic back, without mentioning Li Que Yi at all, instead praised Li Que Xi, Wen Wu nodded, the pair of golden and white talismans on his waist collided with each other, and said with a smile:
"Old-timer, I came this time for the matter of the real person, I heard from my family peak master that the real person of the nobility has deposited a Purple Mansion Formation in my blessed land, after all, the way of the real person formation is exquisite, and I originally planned to invite a real person to arrange it, the Purple Mansion Formation is not a day or two, I will come over first."
He looked at the faces of the two of them and said seriously:
"The matter of the formation is related to the survival of the Taoist system, as the saying goes, it cannot be given lightly, my blessed land also takes this into account, I dare not come to build it for a long time, and now I send us here, but also to build a few parts related to the formation first, just wait until the real person Zhaojing returns, let him check them one by one, and then proceed to the next step of building."
He took out a heavy purple-gold scroll from his sleeve, tattooed elk, birds and scripture symbols on both sides, and first held it in his arms, saying:
"This time, the three peaks of Purple Smoke Blessed Land Pastor, Heavenly Array, and Quenching Green worked together, with five foundation building monks, twenty-seven late-stage qi training monks, two refinement masters, six refiner masters, one formation master, and four formation masters, a total of thirty-two, led by Wen Wu, the head disciple of the Priesthood Peak."
He sent the purple-gold scroll to Li Xuanxuan and replied:
"Senior, this large formation needs thirty-two Zigen Guanggu Mountain Piercing Nails, about one hundred and eighty fathoms long, with a circumference of three zhang and two feet, all shapes, runes, and spiritual materials are recorded in the volume, and I also ask the old-timers to match a pair."
