Li Zhen has been practicing cultivation these days, but the stars in his body have not grown at all.

Since he was so busy talking today, it just so happened that he also wanted to see what the stars in his body were related to.

So I didn't plan to charge money...after all, I'm in charge of the food.

The reason for "Xiao Li's Flying Knife" is also very simple, because Li Laoliu's flying knife is really powerful. Although it is a hidden weapon, compared with Ta Da's defensive attack method, Li Laoliu's flying knife is very powerful.

The knife played a decisive role in both battles.

He found that people in this world... at least among the people he was currently in contact with, were more superstitious about the ways of protecting the body with Gang Qi... Of course, it was not ruled out that Li Laoliu's flying knife was too fast, except for the Gang Qi.

They had no time to use any external means.

But no matter what, the power of this flying knife that specializes in breaking Gangqi is indeed more difficult to deal with than Ta Da, who is good at frontal combat.

Therefore, the next path of cultivation he has set for himself is "Storytelling--acquire a lot of experience--summon new guardians to increase his cultivation speed" and "Storytelling--accumulate the small experience he needs--improvement

"Dharma protection intensity" is a two-pronged approach.

…

Although the wooden fan was not taken out, there was no table or anything like that.

He was not picky and straightened his body directly. Under the curious eyes of Shang Nian and Shang Chong, he coughed lightly:

"Ahem."

This means that he is about to start.

Looking around, Li Zhen chanted softly:

"I can't miss my old look in my dream,

There is no place in life where you don’t have fun.

This life is like something in my hands...sigh."

He looked regretful, sighed, and shook his head:

"Half cold light and half residual."

When everyone heard this poem, they were a little puzzled at first, thinking, isn't it telling a story?

Why are you still reciting poetry?

But when I heard the last sigh and the words "half cold light and half residual", I didn't know why, but I felt... very lost.

They couldn't describe why they felt this way, but they had to admit that they were attracted by this poem.

Just listen to Li Zhen speak slowly:

"This poem is half a line and half a topic. What is a line? Hey, everyone, the moment I say this poem, I am reminding you that it is time to shut up. Please calm down and listen to what I am starting to say.

"

As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out the cloth bag he always carried with him. When he opened it, everyone saw a fan and a piece of wood.

"Originally, we were going to use the awakening wood to knock here, but instead of doing that today, we will start the book directly. Before telling the story, we must explain the story first. What is the name of this little Li Feidao?...

His surname is Li and his given name is Xunhuan."

"Where are you from?"

"People from Zhuo County and Baoding County."

"My ancestors are from a famous scholarly family in Baoding Prefecture. There is a saying in the local area. How do you say it? It is said that their family is "the seventh Jinshi of the Li family, and the father and son visited the flower three times" (Note 1). Ladies and gentlemen, please listen,

How difficult is it to obtain academic honors these days? But there are seven Jinshis in the Li family, and all three of them, father and son, are top candidates. Everyone in Baoding Mansion knows this. Everyone, what is this called?"

Looking at everyone's curious eyes, Li Zhen nodded:

"This is the aristocratic family. Li Xunhuan is the son of the aristocratic family. He has been extremely prominent in the past dynasties! But from outsiders' perspective, the Li family doesn't think so. They always have a problem in their hearts. What is it? It's very difficult.

Simple, I have never won the top prize. You tell me this... In our eyes, good guy, this family has seven Jinshi, father and son, three times, how powerful is it? But scholars are like this, they like to be more serious. The family background is so prominent.

At this point, the Li family will no longer look down. What’s the point of looking down? Right?"

"If you were an ordinary family, who wanted to be a scholar... Oh, that would really be a matter of honoring your ancestors. But from other people's perspective, if a scholar from my Li family is illiterate, I can't read."

"..."

"..."

"..."

After saying this, he saw a group of warriors whose faces were all speechless.

He smiled and shook his head:

"As the saying goes, when people go to high places, water flows to low places. This is the biggest worry of the Li family. But when it comes to Lao Li Tanhua's generation, he himself is a Tanhua, and he is in a high position. It's hard to take the exam again.

Right? So I pinned my hopes on my two sons."

"Both young masters are extremely talented! They are full of talents! Old Li Tanhuaxin said that our Li family's position as the number one scholar came from my son. I hope that my two sons will be named on the gold medal list and change the embarrassing position of my Li family without the number one scholar.

But who would have thought that Li Dalang would be ranked third in the exam... again."

As he spoke, he spread his hands:

"It's over, there is no hope for Boss Li. When he saw that he had won the lottery, there would be smoke coming out from other people's ancestral graves, but in his case, his heart was filled with despair and he was depressed all day long. But Lao Li's lottery winner

So we can only place this hope on our second son, our protagonist Li Xunhuan. Alas..."

With a sigh, Li Zhen shook his head with a look of pity on his face:

"On the day when the imperial list was unveiled, Li Xun Huan was the third most beautiful woman again. Old Li Tan Huan's eyes darkened and he fainted. And with this anger, his body and bones were no longer as good as before. Within two years, he passed away."

"Oh my god..."

There was an exclamation from the crowd.

Only then did Li Zhen notice that at some point, many people from the nearby fire pits had gathered around him.

Originally, it was only told to seven or eight people, but now just after explaining the background of the story, more than ten guards from Leihumen gathered around.

Listen and see, with a serious look on your face.

Li Zhen even saw several inner disciples of the Pegasus Sect among them.

I don’t know how long I listened to it.

He didn't ask any questions and continued:

"After Lao Li Tanhua left, Li Xunhuan was depressed all day long. One morning, he suddenly vomited three liters of blood. When the doctor checked, he found that he had an incurable disease. When Li Xunhuan heard the news... Think about it, he was not happy at first.

, when I heard that my eldest brother also had an incurable disease, I couldn’t help but feel disheartened, so I simply resigned from my official position, and started to spread my wealth and attract friends at home. So far, our story begins.”

In fact, there is another paragraph in it that describes "the imperial court is full of chaos, the emperor has no distinction between personnel and officials, and the officials are both good and bad."

But he directly omitted it.

Just kidding, if I say this... If I count the days, I should just be able to catch up with Qiu Jue.

There is no need to wait, just go to the capital and stab him with a sword, and his head will fall to the ground.

(In fact, titles such as Number One Scholar, Number Two, Third Flower, and Jinshi did not appear in the Sui Dynasty. However, as I said before, I have the right to interpret some vocabulary and colloquialisms in the book that are not in line with the times. It is a moderately imaginary world and is not official history.
