"I asked Li Youquan, since those people are beyond martial arts, and even I, a master of martial arts, can't help the Li family to avenge themselves, why should I say that a minor in exile will definitely be able to avenge him in the future?"
Xiao Sheng looked at Li Muchen with a bit of curiosity in his eyes, as if he was admiring an incomprehensible piece of art and trying hard to see the mystery...
"Li Youquan said that before you were born, an expert from the Li family came to tell your mother's fate. He said that the fetus in her belly was destined to be extraordinary, but because of the jealousy of heaven, he was in danger of dying prematurely and needed to stay away from the wealthy and royal aura of the capital.
This place. As long as you pass the seven-year-old life-and-death barrier, you will have the opportunity to transform from a fish in a pond into a dragon, and everything will happen."
Li Muchen remembered that Grandpa Youquan left Hecheng after celebrating his seventh birthday.
No wonder Grandpa Youquan has been taking him to pick up rags. Apart from being engaged to Mr. Lin, he has never accepted a penny of funding from the Lin family. It turns out that his destiny is to stay away from the aura of wealth and kingship.
"The year he came to see me was when you were seven years old, right?" Xiao Sheng sighed quietly, "Although Li Youquan is just the housekeeper of the Li family, his surname was also given by the old man of the Li family, and it is the same as Li
We are not related by blood at all, but he is loyal and never forgets his kindness to his master. He has already thought about it and will use his life to repay this kindness."
"By raising you to the age of seven, surviving life and death, and paving the way to wealth, his mission will be completed. The rest will depend on your own luck and ability."
"I still remember how he looked when he came to see me that year. He was dark and thin, wearing shabby clothes. If he hadn't announced his name himself, I wouldn't have recognized him as the housekeeper who was next to Li Tiance back then."
"He stood there with an awe-inspiring attitude and asked for my life, asking me if I would repay the life I owed the Li family. I said of course I would repay it. He then asked me to help him kill a man named Tantai.
Jade is one of the legendary five envoys of the Demon Sect."
Xiao Sheng briefly said that Li Muchen had heard rumors about the five demon sect envoys from Zhu Xiaoyuan in Jinling.
But he was a little strange. Zhu Xiaoyuan said that Grandpa Youquan went to Mobei with him to kill Lu Xian, so why did he go with Xiao Sheng to kill Tantai Yu?
Xiao Sheng continued: "This Tantai Jade's whereabouts are uncertain. Based on the clues, we are always one step late. However, during the tracking process, we found clues about another person named Lu Xian, who is also a demon.
Li Youquan, one of the five envoys of the sect, discussed with me that I would continue to track Tantai Yu while he pursued Lu Xian. We then divided into two groups, but we did not expect that this farewell would be an eternal farewell."
Speaking of this, Xiao Sheng let out a long sigh, with a sad and lonely look on his face.
Li Muchen nodded. In this case, things are on the right track.
Grandpa Youquan probably did not plan to find Zhu Xiaoyuan at first, but planned to join forces with Xiao Sheng to kill Tantai Yu. But after discovering the traces of Lu Xian, he went to Jinling to find Zhu Xiaoyuan, and went to Mobei to kill Lu
show.
But later, for some unknown reason, he did not meet up with Xiao Sheng, but went to find Tong Hao alone.
Li Muchen suddenly thought of something and asked: "Mr. Xiao, could it be Tantai Yu who hurt you?"
Xiao Sheng nodded and said, "You guessed it right, it's Tantai Jade."
Xiao Minghe said in surprise: "But father, didn't that happen more than ten years ago?"
Xiao Sheng said: "Tantai Yu's whereabouts are extremely mysterious. I have been tracking him for several years, but still could not find him, and then I lost his clues. I gave up at one point, thinking that I would not be able to complete the task Li Youquan gave me in this life.
I can’t even repay the life I owe to the Li family.”
"But maybe God opened my eyes. Not long ago, I suddenly found traces of Tantai Yu, and he came to the capital. But I know that this person is one of the five envoys of the Demon Sect and has great demon skills. I may not be
Opponent. Before setting off, I played the flute at the old residence of the Li family to pay my respects, hoping that Brother Tiance would have a spirit in heaven and help me kill this demon."
Only then did Li Muchen realize that Huang Dashan had said that the person playing the flute at Li's house was Xiao Sheng.
"Originally, I made a careful plan and prepared to die together with Tantaiyu. But I didn't expect that at the critical moment, someone rescued Tantaiyu, but I was seriously injured."
"Who is it?" Li Muchen and Xiao Minghe asked at the same time.
"I don't know." Xiao Sheng shook his head, "Maybe he's not a human being."
"not human?"
"Because it's just a shadow, a shadow that can stand up." Xiao Sheng said.
Everyone was surprised.
The shadow was okay, maybe it was hidden well and Xiao Sheng didn't discover its true form.
But what happened to the shadow standing up?
Xiao Sheng, a great master and the leader of the northern martial arts community, would naturally not talk nonsense.
"I know who it is." Li Muchen said suddenly.
"Do you know who it is?" Xiao Sheng was surprised.
Li Muchen nodded: "Mr. Xiao, just tell me where Tantai Jade is, and leave the rest to me. Although your injury is no longer serious, your vitality is damaged and you still need to rest. I
I will teach you a set of breath-control methods. If you follow them and practice them, it will be good for your body and martial soul."
Then he drew the talisman with his hand, and tapped his index finger lightly on the center of Xiao Sheng's eyebrows.
Others looked incomprehensible. Only Xiao Sheng opened his eyes wide, with surprise and then ecstasy on his face.
"This is……"
He was so excited that he was speechless. The barrier to the peak of martial arts that he had pondered for decades, the insurmountable gap between martial arts and Dao like a natural chasm, was broken by Li Muchen with just a finger.
Originally, he was like a lonely traveler. Although he reached the top and could see all the mountains, he felt extremely lonely. Facing the vast wilderness and the mountains, he had nowhere to go.
Looking up, you can see the sky's dome, and the stars are shining brightly.
He knew that there was another world above the dome.
But he is already standing at the highest peak in this world, and there is no way to climb.
This kind of loneliness and despair is not something ordinary people can feel.
Su Zi said that it is cold at high places, which is probably the state of mind.
But now, with Li Muchen's slight finger, he saw a celestial road in the vast clouds, far away, leading to an unknown place.
"Mr. Xiao, this is your opportunity, but there is no guarantee of success. Whether you can take it depends on yourself."
Xiao Sheng nodded and said: "I understand. I am obsessed with martial arts. I have killed too many people in my life, so the disaster will naturally be heavy."
He looked at Li Muchen and sighed, "I thought I was going to give my life back to the Li family this time, but I didn't expect that it was you who saved me. If I make a breakthrough through what you taught me again, it will be like being reborn.
Based on this calculation, don’t I owe the Li family three lives?”
Li Muchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I will remember your affection for the Li family."
Xiao Sheng shook his head repeatedly, with a guilty look on his face, and said to Xiao Minghe beside him: "Minghe, from now on, no matter what Young Master Li does in the capital, our Xiao family will do our best to help him."
"Yes, father." Xiao Minghe agreed.
Xiao Sheng then said to Li Muchen: "Tantai Yu lives in a farm at the foot of Baihua Mountain, but his whereabouts have always been secretive. If I find him this time, he will definitely not stay there. But I know that he has another place to stay.
Point, just to the west of Baihua Mountain, in an abandoned ruined temple at Longmen Tianguan."
