The twelfth time, the most difficult debt to owe
After hearing the words of the two elders, Li Zisheng remained calm and bowed respectfully, and then spoke: "Father, second uncle. I have said that I have read thousands of books and have broken thousands of miles. Zisheng knew that his qualifications were limited, so he dared not want to spy on the path of immortality. He just wanted to learn more and gain more knowledge by the young age."
His father snorted coldly, "You are self-aware. I am not much better than you! Besides, do you not learn anything when you run a shop? Wouldn't you gain insight when you go to a layman?"
Erlang of Wujia picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, and spoke to Li Zhaochang, "Brother, although Zisheng is a child's family, what he said makes sense. Brother-in-law, you are a strong and young man, and it's too early to hand over this family business. Why not let him go out to see the world? And I think my nephew is not as good as the fairy bone of the Taoist fetus. But this cleverness is not impossible to use the medicine talisman array. You can't say that you have a future."
"Whatever medicine talisman array is all about burning money!" Li Zhaochang said depressedly: "Second brother, you are not unaware of my family's business. It is not a problem to eat and wear well, but to support him, he might not be able to break up with his whole family through Qi and refining his qi! In the end, my parents were poor and poor and sick, but they refused to send me a letter to me. They were still unable to see the truth from their hometown! If there was no help from the clan, I would have been separated from them forever and become the unfilial son!"
Li Zhaochang's last few words were so sad that the audience was sad, and the three of them were speechless for a moment.
Li Zhaochang calmed down a little and said, "I know the purpose of my second brother this time. You have worked for this kid. However, I have my own concerns about this matter."
Wu Pingtong has always been clumsy in words, and the most important thing is that he agrees with his brother-in-law's words because of his own experience. At this time, he could only smile bitterly at his nephew apologetically.
Li Zisheng's uncle was busy with many people before the New Year, so he didn't stay too late. He practiced to this point, and it was ordinary to avoid seeing things in the night during the cold and heat. So after dinner, he rode his horse directly in the dark.
Before leaving, Erlang of the Wu family quietly comforted his sister and nephew, saying that he would persuade him when he would bring his wife and children together after the New Year.
No words all night.
But the next morning, several "distinguished guests" came to Li Zisheng's family. The leader was Li Luyang, the head of the Li family and the father of Li Zhaozhou, the current Taoist master of Li clan. He was just over fifty years old this year and was quite proud of the elders. The people who followed him were all old-fashioned clans of the Li family with beards and heads. The few people here can be said to be the core figures of the Li family in Miaoleshan. Not to mention cultivation, they are all people who have been outside in their experience, and they all have some insights, which are not comparable to those vulgar and vulgar in the countryside.
When Li Zhaochang saw this formation, he didn't understand that these "lobbyists" who also wanted to be his son, so he couldn't help but feel distressed. However, he had to welcome several clan elders into the main hall, serve some tea, and call out the family to kowtow to the ceremony. Unexpectedly, these old foxes, whose hair turned white, praised Li Zisheng, who had understood the little Zhoutian, and praised him for his hope of revitalizing his family's reputation.
After a while, they sat down one after another, and Li Zhaochang sat down next to him.
After a brief greeting, Li Yiyang coughed dryly, and then he got to the point: "Nephew Yichang, logically speaking, this is your family matter, even if I am the patriarch, I have no right to argue. It's just that your family is promoted but my unfair second son, after my Li family was the first to connect with Xiao Zhoutian in the past decade. So my uncles and I came here today to ask about your plans."
Li Zhaochang smiled bitterly and replied, "Class leader, uncles and uncles. You also know that my family is a small person. I am 40 years old this year and only have these two sons. I also hope that they can inherit this family business and provide care for my husband and wife for the rest of their lives."
Hearing this, one of the elders of the clan slapped the handrail and said with a sigh: "Changlizi, I, an elder, don't like to listen to you. Although my Li family is not a prominent family in the immortals, my men are not ordinary people who live in the countryside. You have also been outside, how can you say such unambitious words?"
"That's it! Xiansun, it's not that we rely on our seniority and want to interfere in your housework. But your family business is also because you have the opportunity of the immortal sect, so you must observe it when you drink water and remember the source." Another clan elder continued to talk and continued to persuade.
Li Zhaochang lowered his head and said indifferently that these old guys would not hurt their backs while standing, and other people's children would never die.
However, the patriarch Li Luyang remained calm and said calmly: "Big nephew, I said that this is your family matter, and how will it be decided in the end? I will only ask you a few things!"
"Class leader, please say."
"This one, did you treat them unfairly in the Tianwei Gate back then? "Did your father and your mother ignore them in the sick tribe?"
"This second thing is the land pledged by your family, but is there anyone who interferes in the original price redemption from our fellow tribes?"
"This last thing, do you do the food transaction in this village, and the clan wants you to pay a share of the public money? Have you ever said a little more gossip?"
As the patriarch, he did have some tricks. The words he said were soft and hard, and pointed to the key points. First, he made it clear that the Li clan not only did not feel sorry for Li Zhaochang, but also took good care of him. He still owed the entire clan. The last sentence was the most powerful. The meaning of the clan was to buy the extra grain for him to make money. Now the clan wants you to spend money to train your own son and still complain?
After hearing this, Li Zhaochang knew that he was extremely refusal to refuse this matter, otherwise how would he be a human being in the clan in the future. In the end, he had to say helplessly: "This matter is indeed Yichang's inconsiderate thought. After the Chinese New Year, I will send Zisheng to Tieshan Academy!"
So everyone was very happy, and called out Li Zisheng to encourage him, and then left after a sumptuous banquet.
When the boy returned to his mother's back, he saw his mother smiling and asked, "What did your father and the clan elder tell you? Have you admitted to school?"
The young man's face bloomed and he smiled and said to Wu Bamei: "My father finally nodded!"
Wu Bamei also liked this and said to her son earnestly: "San Jiazi, don't blame your father. He was also heartbroken back then. Your father and your second uncle both talked to Wei's mother. This academy is fine, and the immortal sect is really a place where people can eat and not spit out bones. You are happy to go out to learn the skills and experience Wei's mother, but you will suffer a loss after all. When you are outside, don't be so stubborn, Wei's mother just hopes for you to be safe."
Li Zisheng had a solemnity that was absolutely inconsistent with his eleven years old, and nodded seriously.
After dinner, the boy returned to his room, lit the light and took out the red cloth from his arms. The red cloth was still the same, and there was no magic at all. However, after careful observation, the red color on it was a little lighter.
But Li Zisheng has confirmed that this thing is indeed extraordinary, and the night he caught the snake was not his own hallucination.
A few days ago, he went with his mother to visit relatives at the village east zodiac residence. Wu Suqin chatted with the female relatives in the room, while Li Zisheng was playing outside with a few friends.
They accidentally approached the center of the family magic array, which was the place where Yuanshi provided energy to the magic array. The boy only felt that the red cloth he had been carrying close to him began to heat up, and then he tried hard to convey a thought to Li Zisheng's head.
This thought is like a hungry baby thirsty for his mother's milk and crying loudly. The idea conveyed by this red cloth "shock" is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Yuanshi.
It was also this young man who was stronger than ordinary people, who forced this idea to suppress. When he got home and took out the red cloth and looked at it, he was surprised to find that the bright red color on it was a little lighter. Only then did he confirm that no matter whether this thing was beneficial to him or not, it would take a lot of energy to activate it. Of course, Li Zisheng could not imagine it now, so he could only put it aside.
Another gain in the past two months is that the boy found that the distractions that came from unknown to him had a great relationship with the scenes he had experienced that night.
The countless moving images I saw in the strange space that night cut them all into pieces, and then stirred them together and sprinkled them into the air. That was part of the distracting thoughts in the boy's mind... At least, this is what the boy himself felt.
Of course, there is also good news, that is, as the practice of these days, the true qi in the body is strengthened. These distracting thoughts in the mind are nourished by the true qi and actually begin to integrate on their own. If the boy is lucky, he can actually catch one or two thoughts.
But these thoughts were not the vivid images I saw that night, but all kinds of obscure information. The boy racked his brains or could not understand it.
The young man with a strong desire for knowledge naturally did not give up looking for the reasons for his own special things these days. He actually found a statement in Li Zhaozhou's collection of books that matched this situation.
That is...the devil!
As long as humans practice to a certain level, when the inner energy of the cultivator resonates with a certain energy in the universe, they can feel more information in this world. This information is not suddenly, but has existed in this world since ancient times. Just like there are countless radio waves around, when the human radio just adjusts to a frequency, it can accept this radio program.
Especially when cultivators enter a new stage, their body and mind have undergone a huge evolution, and they suddenly sense information that the world has not felt before. This is called the Demon Tribulation.
This is even more dangerous than the so-called heavenly tribulation. Because the heavenly demon has no trace without warning, no distinction between good and evil, it is just a projection of energy consciousness, and can only be dealt with by one's own heart. If you are not careful, you will become possessed by the demon. If you are not careful, you will fall into devils. If you are in a mild case, your cultivation will decline. If you are seriously ill, your self-consciousness will be replaced by the demons.
