Chapter 414 The Reincarnation of the Heavenly Witch
Splendid World.
Time goes by and changes occur.
Chu State, Qilong Lake.
The past dynasties have changed several times, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the dynastic system, which maintains a cycle of reincarnation for two to three hundred years.
Whenever the people are completely unable to survive, they will rise up to resist and then rebuild their dynasty vigorously.
However, due to the participation of cultivators, all dynasty changes are nothing more than left hand to right hand.
People have forgotten the name of this place hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Even the Li family, the cultivation family that occupies Qilong Lake, is only vaguely recorded in family classics.
This place was originally called Cailian Lake and belonged to the Qing Kingdom. It was once a subsidiary dynasty of Shifangjian Pavilion, the predecessor of Qinglianjian Mountain.
Later, Cailian Lake was occupied by a dragon demon lord from the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, and it was in Cailian Lake that the demon lord ascended to heaven with a flying dragon and became the demon lord.
So Cailian Lake was renamed Qilong Lake.
Although Shifang Jiange drove away the demon lord soon after, the name is still used today.
Even after the Shifang Sword Pavilion fell apart and Qinglian Sword Mountain rose, the name of Qilong Lake remained unchanged.
However, compared with the original Cailian Lake, the water coverage of Qilong Lake has now expanded several times.
After all, the dragon-type monsters are born with the magical power to move clouds and rain, so it is not surprising that the demon master expanded Qilong Lake in order to build a palace.
The main island of the Li family.
Li Family Lecture Hall.
A group of children from the Li family are studying with their husband. They must first understand the meaning of the scriptures and then practice them, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, if they can't even understand the exercises, then there is no point in practicing them.
Li Youchu is a member of the Li family.
She is eight years old and is a concubine. She is thin and small. She sits at the desk in the corner and is inconspicuous.
Her clothes were not gorgeous, but were washed white and somewhat ill-fitting.
Because her biological mother passed away not long after she was born, there were rumors that she was killed by the second wife who was competing for favor.
Coupled with her father's irresponsibility, she was raised by a wet nurse since she was a child. If she didn't have the blood of the Li family, she wouldn't even be able to enter the lecture hall.
However, her cultivation qualifications are not high. Among the children who entered school in the same year, the best ones have already introduced Qi into the body and entered the realm of Qi refining, while she is still in the stage of sensing spiritual energy.
And it can be estimated that it will take several years to sense this spiritual energy.
Because it is stipulated in the Li family that those who break through Qi refining before the age of sixteen are considered to be true members of the Li family.
Therefore, her fate is already foreseeable. She will grow up step by step in the Li family. If she has a chance to break through the Qi refining process, she will be married off by the Li family for marriage.
Although she is not favored in the Li family, her reputation as a daughter of the Li family is enough for her to live a good life in her husband's family.
If you don't refine your Qi, you will be kicked out of the island and left to fend for yourself.
Li Youchu was wandering in class and remembered the dream he had last night.
In the dream, she was a powerful monk who was aloof and feared by everyone. She once drank with the sword master of Qinglian Sword Mountain and fought with the demon lord of Ten Thousand Demons Palace.
She has been to the sacred mountains, descended into the deep sea, explored the legendary Nine Netherworlds, and spied on the most powerful empire in the world.
She lived life after life just to ascend to the upper world and seek immortality.
By the way, in the dream, she also had a name.
The witch!
"get out of class is over."
Just when Li Youchu was distracted, the teacher who taught the class announced the end of get out of class, ignoring the group of children who instantly became excited. The teacher left with the handout under his arm.
The people in this class were all the children of the Li family who were not taken seriously, and he just dealt with it.
As long as it doesn't disturb him in completing his work, he doesn't care about the students' grades.
Li Youchu woke up from a dream, his expression tightened, he put away his books and walked out of the classroom.
But as soon as she reached the door, she was blocked by a boy who was more than half a head taller than her.
"Li Youchu, you agreed yesterday that you would bring me the dried fish made by your aunt today. Where is the dried fish?"
The boy stretched out his hand, somewhat impatiently.
Li Youchu's face turned pale and he trembled a little: "I, I forgot."
"forget?!"
The boy immediately became unhappy, "You delayed the day before yesterday until yesterday, and yesterday again until today. Do you think I am easy to bully?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a guy next to him who looked like a jerk said:
"Dazhuang, I think she did it on purpose. She just doesn't like you. Otherwise, why would she be reluctant to part with some dried fish?
If it were me, I wouldn't be able to bear it."
Li Youchu quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, my aunt sells the dried fish for money, and even my aunt herself is reluctant to eat it.
I don’t, can’t…”
But the boy named Da Zhuang was not willing to listen to Li Youchu's explanation. He just felt that he had lost face in front of his friends. Then how could he lead them to fight with Xiao Ming from the next class?
He snorted coldly and pushed Li Youchu hard, causing him to back away. Then he stumbled, fell down suddenly, and hit the back of his head on the desk.
Li Youchu let out a scream.
The boy was startled, and then became even more angry.
"You fell down without even using any force. Did you mean to scare me? I'm telling you, if you can't bring out the dried fish tomorrow, just wait for a beating."
After that, he took his little brother and walked away.
For a while.
The other children in the class who had not yet left saw that Li Youchu was motionless, and one child boldly poked her with his finger.
"Are you OK?"
"Do you want me to call sir for you?"
Then, Li Youchu's body trembled.
She climbed up with difficulty and touched the stinging back of her head. It was already swollen, her head was even more dizzy, and her vision in front of her was a little blurry.
Ignoring the shouts of the children beside her, she staggered forward.
"No."
After leaving the classroom, Li Youchu walked faster and faster, and finally started running until he reached the small courtyard where he grew up.
She wiped her tears, took a few deep breaths, and waited until the sourness in her eyes dissipated before she forced a smile.
"Auntie, I'm back."
"You're back. I've put dinner on the table. You'll enjoy it later. I'm going to check if there's anything online. I'll be back later."
In the courtyard, a middle-aged woman was neatly tidying up the fishing nets and greeted her without looking back.
The middle-aged woman is the wet nurse who raised Li Youchu. She is called aunt.
When she was just born, the family still had monthly money to support her, but later, for some reason, the monthly money stopped.
As the saying goes, you can eat mountains if you rely on mountains, and you can eat water if you rely on water.
In order to support her, her aunt learned to fish in the lake, made dried fish, and then sold the dried fish to the city on the passenger ships that left the island every month.
I heard from my aunt that the fish in Qilong Lake all contain dragon blood and are very popular outside.
Fortunately, she is a servant of the Li family, otherwise she would not even be qualified to fish.
But even so, most of her monthly harvest has to be given to the steward.
Relying on these dried fish, she grew up smoothly.
Therefore, Li Youchu was very sensible and did not intend to bring the troubles of school to his home.
After a while, my aunt picked up a circle of fishing nets and got ready to leave.
But before leaving, she did not forget to ask Li Youchu:
"Youchu, how did you study today?"
Li Youchu nodded and said: "It's not bad, sir, I will be able to introduce Qi into my body soon."
Hearing this, although the aunt knew that this was the child's comfort, the smile on her face still overflowed.
"Okay, okay, once you introduce the Qi into your body, you will be a real monk and you will receive monthly money from the clan.
Life will be better then.”
The reason why my aunt insisted on taking Li Youchu to stay on the island was because she knew that only on the island could Li Youchu have the opportunity to practice.
No matter how many glares you receive, as long as you become a monk, everything will change.
"God bless you, your mother will be able to rest in peace even under the Nine Springs."
My aunt went out happily carrying the fishing net, she seemed to have so much strength.
As soon as his aunt left, Li Youchu's face suddenly dropped, and tears fell one by one.
"Why are you bullying me?"
"But if you tell your aunt, she will get scolded again."
It's not like she hasn't asked her aunt to make the decision before.
But every time when we arrived at school, other children's parents would come over and, regardless of whether they were right or not, they would scold my aunt bloody and call her a bitch.
Li Youchu didn't understand why. She was obviously the one being bullied, but she was the one getting scolded.
But her aunt told her that it was because she was a servant and others were masters.
But her surname is also Li.
"It would be great if everything in the dream was real. I will kill all those who bully me and my aunt!"
A trace of anger flashed in Li Youchu's eyes.
Thinking about it, she unconsciously recalled the only spell she could still remember in her memory.
"If you can practice..."
…
The next day, get out of class is over.
The husband went out with the handouts under his arm, and the children were in a mess behind him.
Li Youchu was sitting on her seat, but before she could move, several boys surrounded her.
Da Zhuang slapped his hand on the desk and said angrily:
"Li Youchu, Dumb saw it, and you didn't bring any dried fish today!!"
He didn't care about the small dried fish, which was fishy and salty and only liked by the country bumpkins outside the island.
What he cares about is his face in front of his friends.
As the self-proclaimed number one in the class, if Li Youchu obediently brought out the dried fish to honor him, he might not cause trouble for her.
But Li Youchu actually lied to him again and again. Is it so difficult to carry a small dried fish?
Today, he is sure to eat this small dried fish.
Li Youchu raised her head. Different from yesterday, there was an indescribable charm in her eyes.
With a face that was obviously inconspicuous, Da Zhuang felt that Li Youchu looked particularly good-looking today.
How could he bully such a weak and lovely Li Youchu?
Da Zhuang regretted it.
He should protect her.
The friend next to him slapped his hand on the table.
"Dazhuang is talking to you, did you hear it?!"
Da Zhuang felt a surge of anger in his heart and punched his friend in the face.
"Don't bully Youchu!"
This punch was with all his strength, and the friend was unprepared. He was immediately hit several steps back and knocked over several desks.
The little friend covered his face and it suddenly became swollen.
He looked at Da Zhuang very angry.
"Da Zhuang, how dare you hit me, how dare you hit me!"
He waved his fist and rushed forward.
Da Zhuang also came forward to greet him.
"You were the one I beat. If you hadn't said you wanted to teach her a lesson, why would I have snatched Youchu's dried fish?"
Bang bang bang!!
The two men struggled together.
Then other friends went to break up the fight.
"Don't fight, don't fight, Da Zhuang, Dumb, we are all good brothers."
"roll!"
"Ah! You hit me too, Da Zhuang, and I'll beat you to death, you ungrateful bastard!"
"Dazhuang, let me help you!"
A group of children join the battlefield.
Although they did not actually bring Qi into their bodies, they sensed the spiritual energy and passively tempered their bodies. Their body bones were much stronger than those of normal people, and they were able to fight vigorously and vigorously for a while.
Until my husband was summoned by the students, the classroom was in a mess. A group of children had been beaten bruised and swollen, and they were all lying on the ground, unable to even speak.
Because they are all children, they don't know the importance of the situation, and they always hit the target with a fatal blow. In a hurry, there are not many people who kick the balls and poke the eyes.
The teacher looked at several students who were covering their lower bodies and wailing, with blood coming from their eyes, and felt that the sky was falling.
Although these children in the class are useless, their parents are all from the Li family.
He, a gentleman who was hired to teach, might be so angry that he would be drowned even if he walked all night.
As for the initiator, Li Youchu quietly walked out of the classroom and understood the taste of power for the first time.
Yesterday, she just practiced a little, and she gained the ability to enchant.
and……
She walked into the small courtyard. Her aunt was still arranging the fishing nets for several years, and there was a perennial fishy smell in the air.
She is only in her twenties, but she already looks like she is forty or fifty years old.
When she saw Li Youchu coming back, her aunt smiled and said:
"Youchu, you had good luck yesterday. My aunt caught a lot of fresh shrimps. Today we will eat shrimps. They taste very sweet."
Li Youchu smiled: "Auntie, I have good news for you."
She opened her palm, and an egg-sized spiritual energy ball danced around in her hand.
"I have introduced the Qi into my body and the Qi refining was successful."
The fishing net in her aunt's hand fell down with a crash, and she walked up to Li Youchu in three steps and two steps at a time, staring at the spiritual energy ball in her hand again and again.
"Well!"
My aunt covered her mouth and couldn't help crying.
Although she is not a practitioner, she still has some ability to distinguish between real practitioners.
She can be sure that the one who is controlling the spiritual energy is the young Chu she raised.
After half a while.
She just woke up from a dream and said happily: "I knew, I knew, You Chu, you will succeed, hurry up, go to the clan hall to register first.
You are only eight years old this year and you are already practicing Qi. You are eight years too early for the sixteen-year-old prescribed by the Li Clan. You are a genius. Maybe your father will be alerted and take you back."
Li Youchu's face turned cold and he wanted to say he couldn't go back.
But somehow, another voice seemed to suddenly appear in my mind.
Of course she has to go back, otherwise where would she get the initial resources for her practice? The better she is in the future, the more painful her father will be when he abandons her.
So, without saying anything, she was pulled by her aunt towards the family hall.
What followed was just as her aunt expected, she was practicing Qi at the age of eight and alarmed the clan elders, allowing her to meet her biological father for the second time this year.
Normally, only during the annual ancestor worship gathering, she could follow her father and take a peek at him quietly.
"Good boy, you are suffering. It is your father who is sorry for neglecting you all these years."
Li Youchu's father's name is Li Ming, and he is the grandson of the elder of the second house. He is a romantic man. He has five wives and concubines in his official marriage, and even more secret lovers.
Li Youchu's mother was one of the lovers, and she was taken to the island after she became pregnant.
Therefore, Li Ming had many children, and Li Youchu was just an inconspicuous one among them.
But as Li Youchu refines his energy, this word "NO" will be crossed out.
Li Youchu looked at Li Ming who was showing his true feelings, hugged him, his eyes were red.
"Dad, Youchu misses you so much."
"Okay, daddy will never leave again."
Li Ming's heart immediately dropped as he hugged his precious daughter with a proud smile on his face.
Children, if you coax them more now, you will forget the sadness of your childhood when you grow up.
And he is always her father.
But he didn't see that the eyes of Li Youchu who was held in his arms were always calm, like the water on the lake or the ice on the snow-capped mountains.
