Lijing Village was bustling late at night yesterday, but the villagers got up when the rooster crowed. The air in the early autumn morning was sweet and crystal clear, but the village was desolate.
The Liu and Li families put some dry food, and the refugees lay huddled at the entrance of the village to eat. The leading middle-aged man looked at the more than 20 people around him worriedly, and thought to himself:
"It's really hard to say now. If you kill the person in charge, let alone stay, you won't even be able to leave."
There was a commotion among the refugees, and they all looked up towards the mountain road. Someone shouted:
"There's someone on the road, look at that old man!"
But he saw a gray-haired old farmer walking on the winding road, his clothes and arms were stained with blood, his left hand was struggling to drag a bloody corpse, and the hoe he was carrying in his right hand hung a mangled human head with hair scattered.
"It's the assassin!"
Those with sharp eyes recognized the clothes of the headless corpse and couldn't help but feel chills running down their spines. He escaped at night and had his head removed in the morning. I don't know who this old man was. The Li family was really powerful.
Seeing Old Man Xu approaching, people on both sides quickly backed away and made way for them.
However, Old Man Xu's face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he was walking without even glancing at the people around him.
When he moved to the front of the Li family courtyard at the end of the village, a tenant had already reported the news. The Li family opened the courtyard door. Li Mutian looked tired and led a group of family members to greet him in front of the door.
"Uncle Xu, what are you..."
"The remnants of the Yuan family...ask me to kill them. Their bodies are all here, and ask Liu Linfeng and Tian Shoushui to identify them."
Old man Xu was hunched over and his hands and feet were cold. He put the body on the ground and sat on the ground to catch his breath.
Li Tongya quickly brought tea from the inner room and delivered it to Old Man Xu, but the old man's hands and feet were trembling and he couldn't even hold the tea, so he just brought it to his mouth and sipped it.
Not long after, Liu Linfeng and Tian Shoushui came together with the eldest son of the Xu family. Old man Xu told the whole story in front of everyone. After several confirmations, he was really the remnant of the Yuan family.
"Uncle Xu, my eldest brother's great revenge has been avenged. The Li family is extremely grateful..." Li Tongya was saying something with red eyes when Old Man Xu waved his hands with difficulty and said with tears:
"You don't have to thank me. I have received Hu'er's kindness and killed this man for him. I will never use the favor to try to gain the wealth of your Li family. The old man has only a few years to live. If you are willing to express your gratitude, please do so."
When the child is born, bring him to see me."
After saying this, he got up with all his strength, and without listening to the Li family's pleas, he helped the eldest son Xu and went out.
After a few days of busy work in the Li family, the white kerchiefs were hung in the courtyard. Li Changhu was generous and righteous during his lifetime, so every household cried. The affairs were busy, and Li Tongya's preparations for a breakthrough were pushed back again and again until Li Changhu was buried.
It took two months to stabilize my state of mind, condense the Xuanjing Wheel, and step into the door of immortality.
————
Two years later.
The bright sunshine in the early morning shines on a few sparse trees in the courtyard, illuminating the whole courtyard with thin shade. Under the tree, sitting cross-legged, a handsome young man is concentrating on swallowing his breath.
Not long after, he exhaled a long puff of turbid air, put away the magic technique, and looked at the courtyard with a smile.
But a two-year-old boy, holding a few wild flowers in his hands, jumped up to the backyard, smiled happily, and babbling, he said:
"Uncle...hug..."
Li Chijing smiled and stretched out his hand to hold the child gently, picked the child up high, put his head on the child's little head, and asked eagerly:
"Have Xuan'er been obedient today?"
"I want... to hug..." The child ignored him, giggled, and twisted around in Li Chijing's hands.
"Xuan'er! Come out quickly!"
However, Mrs. Ren did not dare to enter the backyard and shouted in a low voice at the door of the courtyard.
Putting the child on the ground and watching with a smile as he jumped into his mother's arms, Li Chijing said softly:
"It's really difficult to cultivate the walking wheel this week. It took a full year and a half, but it's finally done!"
"Jing'er, you are so dissatisfied!"
Li Xiangping behind him stood up, laughed and cursed in a low voice:
"We have just completed the second level of the Fetal Breathing Wheel, and we haven't even touched the corners of the third level of the Zhouxing Wheel, but you complain that the cultivation is too slow, and you waste a lot of time!"
Li Chijing chuckled, did not answer him, and continued on his own:
"Tonight I will start to condense the Zhou Xing Lun, so that you can see what it means to have mana flowing continuously."
"You kid."
Li Xiangping laughed, saw Li Mutian walking into the backyard with his hands behind his back, lowered his head and called out:
"Father."
Li Mutian has indeed changed a lot in the past two years. His hair is gray, his wrinkles are thick, and he always has a straight face and an unsmiling look. He looks more than ten years older.
"Xuanxuan, this kid is really naughty!"
After meeting his grandson Li Xuanxuan, Li Mutian finally had a smile on his face. After Li Changhu's death, the old man always missed food and food and was very sleepy. The birth of this posthumous son undoubtedly injected new life into the old man and he cheered up again.
When Li Xuanxuan was born, Li Mutian climbed out of bed, summoned everyone in the Li family, and asked Li Xiangping to find three formulas from the "Jie Yin Fa" to serve as the order of succession for the Li family in the future.
Li Xiangping carefully considered it for several days and selected three sentences from the book to describe the method of fetal breathing. These three sentences are:
"The mysterious scenery is clear and clear, and the bright moon shines brightly.
Zhou traveled to Jiangque and then spoke to Qingyuan.
The image of Yujing can only be seen at the beginning of the spirit."
The sons of Li Tongya and Li Xiangping were named from this Xuanjing. Boys were named Xuan, girls were named Jing, and so on.
Li Mutian asked Ren again, and Ren Ping'er thought about it all night and chose the character Xuan, which became the name of Li Changhu's posthumous son: Li Xuanxuan.
"But my father loves me too much."
Li Tongya smiled and shook his head, put the wooden slips in his hands on the shelf and replied.
"nonsense!"
Li Mutian pretended to be angry, blowing his beard and glaring, and then said seriously:
"I want Ye Sheng to study more with me."
"Li Yesheng?"
Li Tongya lowered his head and thought for a few moments, then said:
"It's a good idea. Li Yesheng is alone and is very close to my family. If we want to practice magic and breathe in spiritual energy, we won't have time to care about worldly matters. This Li Yesheng is of the blood of the Li family, so it is perfect."
"I'm afraid that as time goes by, this person will have selfish motives and do things to enrich his own pockets..." Li Chijing asked with a frown.
"I can live for another ten years, at least I can still control him!"
Li Mutian spoke forcefully and continued coldly:
"Ten years from now, when our children and grandchildren have grown up, who will be able to think of something wrong!"
"When you govern people, you must attach equal importance to kindness and power. When Li Yesheng gets married and has children, everything will be easy to handle." Li Xiang said calmly.
"Exactly."
Li Chijing took out the wooden slips on the shelf, blew the dust on it, and laughed in a low voice:
"Ten years of cultivating immortality is really exciting."
