In the evening, the wind started blowing by the West Lake.
The breeze and night spread at the same time. Under the gloomy sky, the wind ruffled the surface of the lake. The solitary mountain reflected in the clear water rippled and spread, appearing more and more green and dusty.
Gushan is no longer a tourist attraction in West Lake.
After Li Honghe set foot on Gushan with the remaining Li family veterans, Lin'an officials quickly announced that the interior of Gushan would be renovated.
And then there is no more.
The Lin'an Municipal Government reported the Gushan incident to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Government.
The provincial government reports to the cabinet.
The cabinet was silent.
So the provincial government and the city government also fell silent at the same time.
The ticket sales office in Gushan was cancelled, and the surrounding areas were quietly moved out of the West Lake tourist range. The entire Li family began to take root in Gushan in the silence of Zhongzhou's top management.
The top management remains silent so far.
Everyone seems to have forgotten about the Li family and Gushan. To this day, no one, including Kunlun City, has expressed any opinion on Li Honghe's occupation of Gushan.
Silence is often the default.
But more often than not, it can also be an excuse.
But it is obvious that as long as Li Honghe is still alive, the senior officials of Zhongzhou will not express any objection to Li's occupation of Gushan.
There are no tourists on Gushan Mountain, and its popularity has been replaced by aura. When Li Tianlan came to the foot of Gushan Mountain, in the vast twilight, the green Gushan Mountain was located in the West Lake. It was hazy, and every plant and tree seemed to have indescribable meanings.
of graceful beauty.
Flowers are blooming on the lonely mountain.
Li Tianlan got off the boat and walked straight along the quiet mountain road.
The lonely mountain is quiet.
Li Tianlan's heart gradually became more relaxed.
Relaxed, yet nervous.
Three years have passed since I first left Li's camp to today.
But Li Tianlan still hasn't made any achievements.
He entered the realm of invincibility in Tiandu, and today he is ranked among the gods, known as the Prodigy of Central Continent.
That is at the expense of one's own martial arts foundation.
He became the Young City Lord of Sigh City because of the friendship between the Li family and Sigh City back then.
The Donghuang Palace was established.
But today's Donghuang Palace is still weak and pitiful.
Li Tianlan suddenly felt timid in his heart.
In three years, he seemed to have done a lot, but also seemed to have done nothing.
He is still in his early stages.
His martial arts and swordsmanship have already achieved some success.
But Li's glory is still dim.
Li Tianlan wanted to tell those uncles and aunts on the mountain who had always been with Li, who had placed all their hopes on him and still persisted. He wanted to tell them that he was doing a good job outside.
But is it really good?
Three years later, everything today...
slow.
After all, it was still too slow.
He felt that what he did was not good.
If you don't do it well, you won't dare to go up the mountain.
In the dusk, his steps gradually slowed down and even became a little heavy.
On the lonely mountain, there is only the sound of the night wind blowing the treetops.
There are no guards on the lonely mountain, and there is no need for guards.
People who are hostile to the Li family will basically not go up the mountain. For those who insist on going up the mountain, it will be useless to put guards in the mountain.
Therefore, the closed Gushan is a cold and lonely path most of the time.
A woman wearing coarse clothes appeared at the end of the path.
The woman's face is very beautiful. Although there are some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the stubbornness and persistence between her eyebrows give her an indescribable look.
At both ends of the road, one goes up and one goes down.
The woman saw Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan also saw her.
The two of them were stunned for a moment at the same time.
There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the woman who was no longer young.
Her delicate eyebrows subconsciously raised, and her body suddenly gained an indescribable sense of prowess.
Li Tianlan quickened his pace slightly and came to the woman. Before he could speak, the woman had already taken the initiative and said with a smile: "Young master, you are back."
Li Tianlan nodded and called Aunt Qingye.
There were not many women who followed Li Honghe to leave Youzhou, and there were even fewer female dependents. Qingye was both a female dependent and a general of the Li family, and she was a relatively young one. She was Li Guansheng's mother and had experience in raising children.
Therefore, Qingye was taking care of Li Tianlan when he was a baby. Although Li Tianlan was called aunt, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Qingye was his adoptive mother.
Qingye stretched out her hand, subconsciously wanting to touch Li Tianlan's head, but she took it back as soon as she reached halfway.
Her smile seemed to be more beautiful than before: "I just came back last week. I wish you had come a few days earlier."
"I and I will be able to meet each other soon."
Li Tianlan smiled.
He has not seen Li Guansheng since he came back.
But the final exercise between the two houses is about to begin, and Li Guansheng, as Xuanwu, one of the Four Spirits of Zhongzhou, is likely to be present in person.
"Where are you going?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"I'll go down and get some things."
Qingye smiled: "Not long after we came here a few years ago, Yu Donglai and Mr. Yu came here once. He arranged some people in the local area and sent some fruits, vegetables and meat every day. Young Master, we are now
My life is much better than before.”
"Not good enough."
Li Tianlan said in a deep voice.
He looked at the seemingly endless mountain road above and said softly: "How have you been doing in the past few years...?"
"all good."
Qingye was silent for a while before speaking. She was still smiling, but her smile was extremely complicated.
It was an emotion that was both happy and worried. This emotion was so intense that Li Tianlan couldn't determine her joy or sorrow for a while.
"It's just that His Highness is not in good health this year."
Li Tianlan's heart trembled.
Li Honghe's body will become worse and worse as his out-of-control strength increases. This is an unchangeable fact, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
It's only the third year now.
He took a deep breath and said, "I'll go up first, Auntie, and I'll chat with you later."
Qingye smiled and nodded, passing by Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan took a deep look at her back.
Compared with the beautiful face in her memory, which was full of numbness and despair, Qingye now smiles more. When she mentions her grandfather's body, she will feel sad and anxious, but looking at her back now, Li Tianlan feels
But there is only valor.
Ms. Li regained her emotions.
All emotions combined are hope.
This is Li's current situation.
The best status quo.
But the best thing has nothing to do with him.
Li Honghe has changed.
So Li changed.
Li Honghe's health is getting worse and worse, and everyone in the Li family is worried, but this hope has never disappeared.
Even if Li Honghe dies tonight, Li's hope will naturally fall on Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan turned around again and walked quickly up the mountain.
His steps were still heavy, but full of determination.
There are some small wooden houses built on the top of Gushan Mountain, about twenty or thirty in size. The road on the mountain has been repaired at least, but the road condition is not good. It can only be said to be flat at best. Twenty or thirty small wooden houses are located on
Amidst the green and bright flowers and trees, it looks like a small village built on the top of the mountain.
The former Li's Camp became today's Li Village.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the vast and terrifying cemetery.
The cemetery is built on the site of Qingyun Temple.
Qingyun Mountain and Gushan are originally one. After Qingyun Temple disappeared, Qingyun Mountain became Gushan. This highest peak on Gushan has now become the Li family’s cemetery.
Nearly a thousand tombstones are arranged neatly and neatly layer by layer. The cemetery does not look gloomy in the night, but it just looks a bit tragic and desolate.
There is no one on the top of the mountain.
There were only a few lights on in the small houses.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Li Tianlan could clearly hear everyone's breathing, which was long, gentle and rhythmic.
This is the breathing rhythm that comes only after you have fallen into a deep and obvious state.
The whole Li family is obvious.
After many years of silence, everyone seems to want to return to their peak state, or even surpass it.
Li Tianlan's heart continued to sink.
Finally sank to the bottom.
Just because everyone is meditating.
But these people are too few.
Li Tianlan's face turned pale.
Sixteen people!
Add green leaves
, but seventeen people!
This is today's Li family.
Li Tianlan's body shook. An indescribable rage instantly occupied his entire consciousness, and his eyes were filled with scarlet red.
When he left the border three years ago, there were still more than a hundred people in the Li family.
After the border battle, more than 60 people of the Li family survived, including the wounded.
Now three years have passed, and there are less than twenty people left in the Li family?!
Where have people gone?
Li Tianlan looked at the large cemetery in front of him, hesitated, and walked over with difficulty.
A stooped old man walked out of the cemetery.
The old man was thin and his hair was already gray. Because of his hunchback, his figure looked a little thin.
He was holding a broom in his hand, as if he had just returned from sweeping the tomb.
Li Tianlan paused in his steps.
The moment he saw the old man, his mood seemed to become extremely calm.
The old man also saw Li Tianlan.
His somewhat cloudy eyes quietly lit up, and he said without saltiness, "I'm back."
Li Tianlan hummed.
This was the reunion of grandfather and grandson three years apart.
No surprises, no surprises.
Calm as water, indifferent as night.
Li Honghe put the broom aside, waved and said, "Come in with me for a walk."
Li Tianlan walked to Li Honghe.
He had so much to say, but he didn't know what to say.
Grandpa lost a lot of weight, and his spine, which had been straight all his life, became curvy.
The once high-spirited war god of Central Continent has gone far away.
The forbearing and silent old man who had led Li to guard the border for twenty years was also leaving.
Now all he has left is his twilight years.
It was a weakness that would last for the rest of my life, coupled with a strength that was almost completely out of control.
At this moment, Li Honghe was so powerful that he seemed to be able to tear the world apart, but it seemed that he might collapse completely in the next second.
"Your body..."
Li Tianlan hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
"rest assured."
Li Honghe's expression was open-minded and peaceful: "Now is not the time. As long as I want to support it, I can at least support it for another two or three years."
"And you?"
Li Honghe glanced at Li Tianlan: "How have you gained in three years?"
"I...there are some changes in my body."
Li Tianlan said slowly: "And...Grandpa, I have given up on Sword Twenty-Four now."
In Tiandu, he had seen and used Li's world-shaking secret sword twenty-four from the perspective of the invincible realm.
In three years, his sword has vaguely jumped out of the category of Sword Twenty-Four, and gradually turned into his own kendo.
He had completely figured out Jian Twenty-Four, and it was time to give up.
Li Honghe nodded casually and said, "You decide your own path."
There are no lights in the cemetery.
The further you go up, the darker it gets, so the lights stolen from the cabins under the cemetery become even more dazzling.
"Where are our people?"
Li Tianlan was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"They..."
Li Honghe smiled, but his smile was complicated: "They have already gone to where they should go. Those who are left behind now are unwilling to go there. When I die, these people will follow you."
"Where did they go?"
Li Tianlan asked without relaxing.
“It’s just the place to be.”
Li Honghe's tone was calm and without any emotion.
Li Tianlan was about to continue asking, but Li Honghe had already changed the subject: "Tell me about your experiences in the past three years. Where have you been and what insights have you gained?"
Li Tianlan's three years were very simple.
But it's very complicated.
It may seem like there is nothing to say, but there is so much to say.
Li Tianlan sorted out his thoughts and spoke slowly, from leaving the Sky Academy to the City of Sighs, seeing Situ Cangyue's useless world, to the primeval forests and Volga River in the Snow Country, and then to the thousands of miles of frozen forest.
In the cold polar regions, there are also mirages on the Pacific Ocean and the fallen stars outside Hangu Pass...
He talked about the transformation of his will, the hidden sword intention after recovery, the golden hair that followed him, and the name Lin Fengting gave him but was completely broken in his hands.
Sword Heaven Punishment...
In his story, the Dongcheng family, Bai Qingqian, Dongcheng Rushi, Wang Yuetong, Qin Weibai, the Palace of Reincarnation, and even Tiandu Purgatory and Beihai Wang family appeared...
He talked a lot.
Li Honghe just listened silently, without expression or expressing any opinions.
Li's cemetery is very large.
The grandfather and grandson walked up and down again, walking very slowly.
The entire Li family is still meditating.
Li Honghe took Li Tianlan back to his small wooden house.
There is almost no decoration inside the wooden house.
A hard bed, a wooden table, and a few stools are all the furniture.
But being able to take root in a place where you can feel the climate change, with sunshine, rain and snow, compared to Li's past, this place is already like a paradise.
Li Honghe turned on the light, sat down on the stool next to the wooden table and said: "So, you are now the young city lord of Sigh City, and the established Donghuang Palace has received its first investment, and you have also cooperated with Jiang Shangyu
Once a cooperative relationship is established, everything can start just after the final exercise is over?"
"That's right."
Li Tianlan thought for a while and nodded.
"So, are you sure about the final exercise of the two houses?"
Li Honghe looked at his grandson who had been away for three years and asked with a smile.
"This is not a matter of uncertainty, but a matter of winning. I will win."
Li Tianlan's tone was calm.
"If only things were that simple."
Li Honghe said softly: "Tianlan, I can't determine your current martial arts progress, but I think that before entering the invincible realm, you should hide your clumsiness as much as possible. If you win the final exercise, it seems that you can win for yourself.
It’s a starting point, but your opponent is the entire Beihai Wang family and Kunlun City, so your future path will still be difficult.”
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment. He was not sure what Li Honghe meant: "Grandpa, do you mean to ask me to give up this final exercise?"
Li Honghe was silent.
From his twinkling eyes, Li Tianlan saw hesitation and hesitation.
The final exercise has become the most critical step since Li Tianlan entered the WTO. Between advancement and retreat, it is very likely that there will be two completely different fates.
Li Honghe asked him to hide his clumsiness, which was a more conservative approach.
Li Tianlan had no intention of commenting on this conservatism. For him, he had no way out.
"I will not give up."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
"Tell me your reasons."
Li Honghe spoke calmly.
"The Beihai Wang Family and Kunlun City have long been enemies. No matter what, my existence is a threat to them. Whether they win or lose in the final exercise will not change their attitude towards me. In this case, I might as well win.
This exercise will give those who support me and those who plan to support me more confidence."
Li Tianlan said softly: "Grandpa, you won't understand. If I lose to Wang Shengxiao in the exercise, everything I have done before will be a joke. Li will also become a joke. I have no way out."
"Have you ever thought about the attitude of the Beihai Wang family and Kunlun City?"
Li Honghe asked.
"They have shown a clear attitude."
Li Tianlan said: "The reason why I am still alive is because you are still alive, grandpa. If they want to touch me, they must get rid of you first. I have received news that Wang Tianzong should be in Kunlun City now."
Li Honghe suddenly raised his eyebrows. He looked at Li Tianlan and said in a low voice, "In this case, you shouldn't come back."
Li Tianlan was silent.
There are many things in the world, and there is no right or wrong, only whether or not to do them.
"I must come back."
He spoke word by word.
Li Honghe is here.
Li's people are also here.
If the Li family is destroyed by the joint efforts of Wang Tianzong and Gu Xingyun, then what is the Li family he protects? What is the meaning?
"maybe."
Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan with complicated eyes, and suddenly said: "If it were him...he wouldn't come back."
"who is he?"
Li Tianlan asked seriously. He watched Li Honghe's expression carefully, not wanting to miss any detail.
Li Honghe remained silent and just looked at Li Tianlan quietly.
"I have a few questions."
Li Tianlan
Said: "I should have asked this question three years ago. I hope grandpa can explain it to me."
"explain."
Li Honghe had no expression on his face.
"Master of the Palace of Samsara, and Wei Bai, are they related to you? Who is the Lord of the Palace of Samsara?"
Li Tianlan asked.
There cannot be love without reason in this world.
The Palace of Reincarnation protects him.
Qin Weibai's deep affection for him...
Li Tianlan believes that there will be an explanation for all this.
At present, this explanation can only be answered by Li Honghe.
Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan silently.
His eyes were a little strange and complicated.
He looked at Li Tianlan for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I don't know."
"have no idea?!"
Li Tianlan asked back.
"I really don't know."
Li Honghe smiled bitterly: "It was the Lord of Samsara Palace who found me back then. At that time, you were still in the desert prison, and my condition declined seriously. At that time, unless I tried my best, I would no longer be the match for Lord Samsara. She
When she first found me, she had no interest in Mrs. Li. She was only interested in you. I could see that she would not harm you, so when you left the border, I handed over the contact information she left behind.
Gave it to you."
Li Tianlan took a deep breath and continued: "What about the Dongcheng family?"
"The Li family owes the Dongcheng family."
Li Honghe said calmly: "I have no choice but to continue to owe you."
Li Tianlan frowned again.
The identity of the Lord of Samsara Palace has not yet been revealed.
Regarding the Dongcheng family, Li Honghe gave another answer.
The answer he got from the Dongcheng family was that the Dongcheng family owed the Li family, not that the Li family owed the Dongcheng family.
"What else do you want to ask?"
Li Honghe glanced at Li Tianlan and said.
The muscles at the corners of Li Tianlan's mouth trembled, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Does grandpa know about Tiandu Purgatory?"
"Know."
Li Honghe narrowed his eyes.
"Who is the god of Tiandu Purgatory?"
Li Tianlan looked at Li Honghe and asked.
Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan quietly, with a calm expression on his face.
"God...is he my father?"
Li Tianlan's voice trembled: "It shouldn't be, right?"
He didn't know who God really was.
But I remembered what my grandfather had said to him a long time ago about impartiality... I thought about God's unique skills formed by the countless changes of the twenty-four swords... Combined with his age, combined with the relationship he had with Wang Tianzong when he was in Tiandu
dialogue...
Li Tianlan didn't want to admit it.
But countless speculations in his mind told him that the god of Tiandu Purgatory was his father, Li Kuangtu!
Li Tianlan really didn't want to admit this.
Because when he broke through and became invincible in Tiandu, he could clearly detect that whether it was Wang Tianzong or God, there was always a ray of murderous intent focused on him.
If God was really his father, why did he want to kill him when he was in Tiandu?
"He is not."
Li Honghe finally spoke, and he sighed softly: "It's really not."
Li Tianlan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Honghe quietly.
"So... Li's future still depends on you."
Li Honghe said softly.
Li Tianlan nodded: "Grandpa, don't worry."
His tone was calm and confident: "The Li family will regain its glory in my hands. Those who once owed the Li family, whether it is the Beihai Wang family or Kunlun City, I will let them return it bit by bit!"
"I owe it to Mr. Li..."
Li Honghe's eyes were in a daze: "Beihai Wang family?"
For the first time, his eyes showed a trace of undisguised pain.
The pain was so clear and profound in his old eyes, like a scar carved into his eyes.
He smiled, somewhat mocking himself: "What if... what if the Beihai Wang family didn't owe the Li family back then?"
"What?"
Li Tianlan was stunned.
"I mean, if the Li family owed the Beihai Wang family back then... what would you do?"
Li Honghe asked.
Li Tianlan has never thought about this problem.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
He remembered what his grandfather said to him in Gushan three years ago.
In my life, I have not done many right things and many wrong things. However, many mistakes can eventually be made up for through hard work, but some mistakes, to this day, have long been irreparable and can only be made right.
keep mistake...
What did Li really do wrong back then?
Li Tianlan's mind was a little confused for a moment: "What did we do wrong back then?"
"you are right."
Li Honghe smiled helplessly and sadly: "It's me who's wrong. I'm too cowardly. It's all my fault."
A voice suddenly sounded, floating in the air, as if floating down from the nine heavens, covering the entire lonely mountain in an instant.
"You are right. There is no right or wrong in many things. Only success or failure can determine the outcome. Why should Mr. Li blame himself?"
Li Tianlan stood up suddenly.
This is Wang Tianzong’s voice!
He subconsciously took a step to walk out.
"do not move!"
Li Honghe suddenly roared.
Li Tianlan was stunned for a moment and stood there subconsciously.
"He's still here."
Li Honghe said softly: "It's finally here."
He slowly raised his palm.
Li Tianlan's pupils shrank suddenly.
In his sight, Li Honghe's palm just lifted slightly and cut through the air.
But when he raised his arm, it felt like it had been slashed by a sword. With just a simple movement, blood actually flowed out.
Blood gushed out from Li Honghe's palm, but it did not drip, but hung in the air.
dyed the air red.
The air seemed to have completely solidified.
Li Honghe gently waved his hand.
Countless blood beads suddenly suspended in the air, dyeing a large space red.
Li Tianlan's pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant.
Is there any air around him?
Every corner of the small house was filled with sword energy unconsciously!
The sword energy filled every inch of the space, and it had turned into exquisite and sharp gaseous sword shadows one after another.
"follow me."
Li Honghe said something and suddenly clenched his fist.
The tyrannical sword energy spread all over Li Honghe in an instant, and the sword energy that quietly emerged in the entire house was swept away.
Li Tianlan followed his grandfather out of the room.
He saw everything outside.
In an instant, even with his will, he couldn't help but feel suffocated for a moment.
There was absolute darkness everywhere outside the room.
The bright moon over Lin'an has completely disappeared.
A vortex with a diameter of several thousand meters appeared at the highest point in the sky.
The vortex flowed slowly, completely covering the entire mountain.
The sword intent all over the sky roared crazily and took shape in the flow of the vortex.
In front of Li Tianlan, everything is sword!
The air was completely torn and condensed into exquisite and sharp sword shadows one after another.
The sword shadows are all over the sky, all over the earth, and all over the lonely mountains.
Countless sword shadows, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions!
The lonely mountain is disappearing.
Heaven and earth are disappearing.
The majestic and dense sword shadows appear in any corner of the entire Gushan, densely packed!
Li Tianlan couldn't see Wang Tianzong.
Only his voice sounded in the night sky.
"Mr. Li, as long as you can walk out of this sword curtain tonight, all the grudges between the Beihai Wang family and the Li family in the past can be wiped out!"
Li Tianlan was breathing rapidly.
His breath was even filled with sword intent, which stung his internal organs with severe pain.
This was the first time Li Tianlan saw Wang Tianzong's sword intent.
The pinnacle of sword intent.
Every plant, every tree, every mountain, every river, the whole world, as long as he needs it, everything is the sword in his hand!
Nothing is indestructible, nothing is indestructible.
The sword shadow that occupies the entire world hangs in silence.
But the entire Li family seemed to have no foothold under this sword curtain.
The shadow of the sword is like a frenzy, spreading across the sky and the earth, roaring and surging.
This is the Sword Emperor of Central Continent!
What is spread all over the lonely mountain is the most peak sword intention in the entire dark world in decades!
Unique and unparalleled in the world!
