Li Xiangping sat quietly by the fire, his face reflected in the red firelight. His leather coat was in tatters and he looked tired. The hairs on his legs were slightly curled by the heat, but he stared straight at this person.
Taro in the fire pit.
He has been fleeing here and there these days, almost dying at the hands of those Qi-training monks several times. He has been used to seeing many separations between life and death, killed many Shanyue generals, and encouraged those people to attack Da Jueting.
Li Xiangping's expression no longer has the leisurely look of a deep house, but has returned to an earthy and rough look. The blood and fire these days have tempered Li Xiangping with an iron-blooded flavor, and he is becoming more and more similar to Jia Nixi.
.
"King!"
Ah Huila still didn't correct his call, and even led a group of Shanyue generals Li Qiuyang and Chen Donghe astray, calling him "big king".
"That Mu Jiaoman went to Wushan, and I don't know what he had in mind!"
A section of the leather armor on Chen Donghe's arm was broken, revealing a deep red wound. He was covered in mud and black blood. He was holding a map in his hand and thinking, copying the routes and patterns on the map with his fingers, and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, please be careful!"
"Well said!"
Li Xiangping chuckled, silently clutched the clear pearl around his waist, and thought to himself:
"I'm probably going to ask for the foundation-building monks. We can't delay it any longer. We need to get this thing delivered to our home as soon as possible."
Li Xiangping fought all the way to the west, and saw this transparent orb from the altar of a wealthy family. The Xuanzhu Talisman in the Qihai Cave jumped inexplicably, and he immediately understood that this object was probably related to his family's Dharma Jian, so he
I took this orb and carried it with me at all times.
Looking at Chen Donghe with a solemn expression, Li Xiangping wanted to tease him. He looked up at him narrowly and said with a smile:
"Hey, He'er, do you like my Jingtian? Do you want to propose marriage to you?"
Chen Donghe's face suddenly turned red and he looked down at his toes without saying anything. Li Qiuyang on the side hugged his belly and laughed. Chen Donghe was so angry that he kicked him and did not dare to look at Li Xiangping.
Li Xiangping also shook his head happily and said with a smile:
"If Tian'er is willing, I have no objection! But my Tian'er must be the legal wife!"
Chen Donghe's face felt hot after hearing this. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he stammered:
"I...I...will definitely...not let down...Tian'er..."
Everyone burst out laughing, making Chen Donghe want to crawl into the ground. Ah Huila laughed so much that he coughed and cursed:
"Whenever Shanyue falls in love with her, I'll take her back to be his wife. I don't care about your stranger's ways."
"you try?"
Li Xiangping raised his eyebrows and smiled, which made Ah Huila scream for mercy. Chen Donghe smiled softly and finally escaped from the embarrassment.
The fragrant smell was already spreading, and Li Xiangping ate carefully, as if he was remembering the days when he and his elder brother Li Changhu secretly roasted taro by the pit when he was twelve or thirteen years old. He was still young at that time, and Li Changhu was always thinking of ways to make it for him.
Serve something to eat.
Next to him, Li Qiuyang looked around cautiously, guarding against the eagle's eyes in the sky, and looked down at Li Xiangping with eyes full of deep reverence.
Li Xiangping led them out of too many desperate situations and brought incredible victories. Just as the Shanyue people believed that Jia Nixi was the son of destiny, the clan soldiers who followed Li Xiangping also believed that their family master was invincible.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xiangping, but he suddenly put down the taro in his hand and froze.
The death-preventing Yansheng Qi that had appeared in his mind countless times in the direction of crisis and risk suddenly shone brightly, and a strong sense of danger emerged. Li Xiangping vaguely saw himself kneeling on the ground, vomiting blood, and surrounded by
Cries and cries for help.
"I am going to die. There is no way to avoid it and no way to delay it."
The cold air rushed up from his spine to the top of his head. Li Xiangping murmured, snatched the map from Chen Donghe's hand, picked up a piece of still hot charcoal from the pit, closed his eyes and meditated, and began to draw on the map.
"King!"
Chen Donghe was so shocked that he knelt down quickly and looked at him worriedly.
After Li Xiangping applied it, he stuffed a clear orb into his arms and said in a deep voice quickly and urgently:
"Mujiao Man will definitely come back to my aid after I die. Just follow this road and return home to the east!"
Before Chen Donghe could speak, he saw Li Xiangping gritting his teeth and whispering:
"No matter what, this orb must be handed over to Li Tongya!"
"Everyone!"
Li Xiangping stood up, ignoring Chen Donghe who was still sluggish beneath him, and said loudly:
"After I die, you and others will follow the Donghe River eastward and are not allowed to stay here..."
Li Qiuyang and others were at a loss when they heard this, but they saw Li Xiangping's voice getting weaker and weaker, sitting softly on the ground, and said hurriedly:
"King!"
"Master!"
Li Xiangping raised his eyes to look at the scorching sun in the sky, and various hallucinations appeared in his eyes. The sun seemed to have gently dropped a gap, falling in front of him like a meteor.
The chip was prickling and sparking, falling right in the pit of his heart, burning his mouth and blinding him. He once roasted alive the fat pig-like chief of the Shanyue tribe with fire. Now this pain is equal.
The ground extends to himself.
"King!"
The world in Li Xiangping's eyes had turned dark, and he couldn't see anything. He only felt someone throwing himself on him, and hot tears fell on his face. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he let out a low laugh with the remaining strength.
:
"What a cheap trick!"
Li Xiangping's long hair spread out, revealing sparse white hair. He has lived to the age where an ordinary farmer would enjoy his grandchildren. He has never suffered any major grievances in his life. The only thing he can't worry about now is the Li family, which survives in the cracks of many forces.
.
Thick black energy emerged from the void, melting his gray-black eyes and making his body wither. Li Xiangping spurted a mouthful of black blood from his throat and said hoarsely:
"I have made a lot of money in this life!"
Many images flashed through his mind, and finally they slowly settled on a winding river. A young man caught a herring and raised a tattered blue-gray picket in confusion. The morning sun shone on his face.
, with a bright smile.
The black energy left just as quickly as it came, drying up Li Xiangping's body. He was about to escape back to the void, but saw a gray light emerging from Li Xiangping's Shengyang Mansion.
As soon as the black energy stagnated, they poured into Li Xiangping's Shengyang Mansion. They poured into the Qi like a starving ghost after seeing a feast, and disappeared.
Only Li Xiangping's withered body was left kneeling on the ground. A pale white light emerged from his Qihai cave and escaped gently into the void. The people below were crying, and Ah Hui's eyes were tearing to the ground.
shouted:
"The curse is a killing curse! Mu Jiaoman, you are a villain!"
"Master!"
Chen Donghe knelt down in front of Li Xiangping with tears streaming down his face. He lowered his head and cried for a while. He pinched out blood with his fists and heard sobs in his ears. Li Qiuyang's eyes were red and he staggered closer.
"Buzz buzz..."
Suddenly hearing a noisy buzz of flapping wings, Chen Donghe was stunned, stopped crying, knelt on the ground with a sad face and moved a few steps, placing his ear on Li Xiangping's body and listening.
"Shut up!"
Chen Donghe frowned and shouted, and everyone's voices suddenly became quieter. They saw him listening to Li Xiangping's body for a while, and then carefully put him down.
Chen Donghe slowly placed his trembling fingers on the corners of Li Xiangping's green-white mouth, pursed his lips and applied force gently, and suddenly the noisy flapping of wings became louder. Ah Huila and Li Qiuyang, who were on the left and right, looked stern, and also lowered their heads and knelt down to check.
"Buzz..."
Chen Donghe exerted force, and a gray-black locust suddenly jumped out of Li Xiangping's mouth. It was covered with barbs and had thin wings with lines like leaves. It jumped on Chen Donghe's hand for a while, then fluttered its wings and flew away.
"this……"
"Locusts! So many locusts!"
The people below shouted, but before they could react, they saw hundreds of gray-black locusts emerging from under Li Xiangping's body, buzzing and rising into the sky, like a black storm rising into the sky, mindlessly.
The collision caused a lot of pain to several people, so they had to back away.
"Donghe...this..."
Ah Huila spoke blankly, and Chen Donghe took a few steps back, with tears still on his face. He picked up Li Xiangping's green black bow and glanced at the disappeared body.
Locusts rose slowly in the sky. Chen Donghe gritted his teeth and said:
"Let's go! Don't let them catch you!"
————
Lijing Mountain.
"Harmful."
A gleaming white pill suddenly emerged from the void and was thrown into the blue-gray mirror on the stone platform. It stirred up a burst of pale white moonlight and a faint sigh sounded in the courtyard.
"Li Xiangping, it's been twenty-five or six years since you found me..."
The child who caught fish back then was still vivid in his mind, but Li Xiangping in the west had fallen. Lu Jiangxian's emotions were a little complicated. When the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
Lu Jiangxian felt his spiritual consciousness and mana rising continuously. The information recorded in the Xuanzhu Talisman slowly flowed into the mirror. Li Xiangping died due to the curse. His cultivation was at the peak of fetal breath, but the mana emerging from the Xuanzhu Talisman was greatly unexpected.
It met Lu Jiangxian's expectations.
"The feedback from the Xuanzhu Talisman seems to be not only related to cultivation, but also to ethereal things such as luck and incense. He took away Janixi's luck and robbed Shanyue's incense."
The surface of Lu Jiangxian's mirror is filled with brilliant lights, and the mysterious light of Taiyin is also wandering around the mirror body. Its power can kill monks at the peak of Qi training. The increase in the upper limit of mana allows him to release five rays of mysterious light of Taiyin in a row, and he can block one when he encounters a foundation-building monk.
If blocked, it will take three days to reply afterwards.
"The black energy in the spell was originally a spell transformed from the Lun Qi. It was swallowed by the Lun Qi in Li Xiangping's body, and I don't know what kind of changes occurred."
Lu Jiangxian has been studying the structure of the spell in the courtyard for the past few days, and has not made much progress. Fortunately, he does not eat or sleep, and has no needs. He can spend more than ten years studying it, so there is no need to rush and just grind it slowly.
Can.
"It's the orb."
Lu Jiangxian swallowed the non-existent saliva. He had much less desire after becoming a weapon spirit. He usually tried his best to force himself to watch the human fireworks at the foot of the mountain to maintain his mood swings. However, the orb Li Xiangping got made him feel his heart.
Desire deeply.
outside the hospital
Li Tongya was explaining swordsmanship to Li Xuanling in the courtyard, when suddenly his heart trembled and he suddenly stopped.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Li Tongya frowned, feeling a little uneasy, waved his hand, and whispered:
"It doesn't matter."
But I was thinking:
"The big formation on Lijing Mountain needs to be set up earlier, or there is no formation to support it, so my heart is always empty."
"clang!"
There was an explosion on the door and window, causing Li Tongya and Li Xuanling to turn around and look.
Li Xuanling walked over cautiously, opened the window, and saw a thin gray-black locust killed by a collision with its upper body. Its upper body had been smashed to pieces, and its handle was stuck to the window. He took it off doubtfully, and turned to look at his father.
Li Tongya's spiritual consciousness had already seen it clearly, and he felt a little sad for no reason. He took the locust and looked at it carefully.
"Huh."
Li Tongya's spiritual analysis revealed that there was no trace of demonic aura on the locust, but instead had a subtle sense of familiarity.
"Let's go into the mountain again tomorrow to find out where Xiang Ping is."
Shaking his head and throwing this thought away, Li Tongya waved his hand and threw it out of the window, saying softly:
"Don't be distracted and read this "Xuan Shui Sword Art" carefully."
But after hearing a burst of noise, Li Xuanxuan happily walked in with his baby in his arms and whispered:
"Father Zhong!"
Li Tongya raised his eyebrows, and with a bit of joy on his face, he asked:
"The baby is born? Is it a boy or a girl?"
The year before last, Li Xuanxuan had married a woman with a different surname and a spiritual acupoint. The woman was not very talented and was only at the level of Xuanjing Wheel. Li Xiangping pointed out several good-looking mortal women to be his concubines.
Now this is the first direct descendant.
"It's a man!"
Li Xuanxuan couldn't hide the smile on his face. He held the child tightly and saw Li Tongya smiling and saying:
"This is the first third-generation descendant of our Li family. Have you thought of a name?"
"According to the surname, it should be Yuan!"
Li Xuanxuan laughed, whispered to the child for a while, and replied:
"Just call me Li Yuanxiu"
"Li Yuanxiu..."
Li Tongya nodded and smiled, glanced at the child, and said silently:
"Not bad."
"How many children did your concubine have?"
Seeing Li Tongya suddenly speaking, Li Xuanxuan raised his head and replied:
"One son and one daughter, no more than three or five years old."
Li Tongya was thoughtful and said in a deep voice:
"From now on, if the direct descendants of our Li family's main lineage are born without spiritual acupoints, they will be demoted to the small sect if they are born as concubines. Those who have spiritual acupoints will be classified as the main sect together with their direct descendants. Those who have no spiritual acupoints in the third generation of the small sect will be demoted to branches.
If you have spiritual acuity, you will recognize your ancestral line as the great sect."
Li Xuanxuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said doubtfully:
"The Ye family now has more than 2,000 people. What will happen if these people with spiritual orifices are brought back to the branch?"
"Stop at Xiaozong."
Li Tongya pondered for a few breaths and then replied.
Li Qiuyang is now a branch of the Li family. If the legitimate son he gives birth to has a spiritual acuity, he can be carried back to the small sect. If he is born again, a legitimate grandson with a spiritual acuity cannot be carried back to the large sect.
"This will ensure that everyone in the sect is from Grandpa's lineage..."
Li Xuanxuan nodded, and seeing Li Tongya's uneasy expression, he said:
"Father Zhong, why is this happening?"
Li Tongya opened his mouth, looking a little tired, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm still worried about Xiang Ping. I'll go to the west at night and you can look after my home."
