As a descendant of the Marquis Mansion of Jinling City, Li Liangjin was the son of a noble family and had an extraordinary status. Even the prefect had to treat him politely when he met him. In the court, the power of his Li family was not small.
And having grown up in a wealthy family, he has never had anyone dare to disobey and fight against him like this.
For Li Xiuyuan in front of him, he originally wanted to use a scholar's method to make him retreat when he saw the difficulties, and drive him away first, so that today's grudges could be settled later.
But Li Xiuyuan, a martial artist, didn't use his usual moves at all.
Holding the legendary book of life and death, he can mark off other people's lifespan at will, making him as difficult to attack as a hedgehog.
"Li Xiuyuan, do you really dare to use my life as a bet and cross it off arbitrarily?" Li Liangjin's face became gloomy, and he secretly signaled.
Immediately, the guards behind him understood the meaning and stared at Li Xiuyuan with evil looks. As soon as they waited for the order, they rushed out without hesitation and killed Li Xiuyuan in the wilderness.
However, this was the plan, but the two leading guards looked solemn, feeling that if they really took action, they might not be able to keep Li Xiuyuan smoothly.
Li Liangjin is not a martial arts practitioner and does not understand how terrifying it is for a martial arts practitioner once he reaches the level of a martial arts master.
But he doesn't care about that much.
Li Xiuyuan holds the book of life and death, which is a huge threat to him. Who knows if Li Xiuyuan will be idle one day and scribble on the book of life and death.
As disciples of powerful people, they can control the lives of those at the bottom, but they cannot tolerate their own lives being controlled by others.
"If you want to bet, bet on your thirty-year lifespan, or else find another bet."
Li Xiuyuan noticed the unkind looks from the guards behind Li Liangjin, but he was not afraid.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill this fox?" Li Liangjin glanced at the second fox in Hu Hei's hand and said.
Li Xiuyuan also looked at Hu Hei and said: "Hu Hei, I have a bad habit. I like telling stories. I don't know if you have heard of a story. There is a forest, a tree in the forest, and a tree on the tree.
A cicada was drinking tree sap, but what he didn't know was that there was a praying mantis behind him. The mantis wanted to prey on the cicada, but he didn't know that he was already being watched by the oriole."
"This is a story about the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind it. What do you want to say?" Hu Hei said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "What I want to say is that you think you have control of Hu Er's life, but in fact your own life is already in the hands of others, but you haven't realized it yet."
"You mean you are the oriole?"
Hu Hei's face moved slightly, and he felt a little uneasy.
The person in front of him is indeed very weird. He is neither a god nor a ghost nor an immortal, but he has the ability to scare even ghosts and gods. He has never encountered such a weird person in his thousands of years of practice.
"No, I'm not an oriole, I'm just a person who resolves such disputes. But if you want to be a mantis, I don't mind being an oriole for a time."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "If you kill Hu Er, then you will continue to start this fight. I have said it before. If anyone continues to take action, I don't mind being his opponent."
"I will accompany you whether it is a martial arts competition or a battle of skills, but there is one thing I hope you will be mentally prepared for."
Speaking of this, Li Xiuyuan had a look of indifference on his face; "If you do it again, you must be prepared to die here. After all, I am a human being, and human patience has its limits. I can't always be restrained."
Own."
"I've finished my words, what about your choice?"
Hu Hei's face froze slightly, and he hesitated for a moment while holding the unconscious Hu Er in his hand.
He has been a vixen for thousands of years, so he can naturally tell whether what this person says is the truth or a lie.
It is not difficult to deduce from everything that happened before that this person is definitely an extraordinary person. If he kills Hu Er, he will definitely do it to him without hesitation.
I just don’t know if my thousands of years of practice can defeat this person.
"This person is very dangerous. His aura is extremely pure, and the thoughts in his heart are extremely strong. Even ghosts and gods dare not get close to such a person. If he wants to get rid of the demon, he will probably be able to do it." Hu Hei
I thought to myself.
Suddenly he no longer dared to threaten this person with Hu Er's life.
If he threatens Nahu Er's life, then Li Xiuyuan will threaten his life.
He wanted to strangle Hu Er to death, so Li Xiuyuan killed the thousand-year-old fox spirit.
Whether it is life or death, it all depends on whether Hu Hei has good intentions or evil intentions.
"Hu Hei is actually afraid."
Hu Han, who was not far away, was happy and surprised when he saw Hu Hei's hesitant look.
This black-skinned fox was actually frightened by his son-in-law. He obviously held the lives of his two sons in his hands, but he had no confidence and did not dare to act recklessly. Instead, Li Xiuyuan had the upper hand.
"Brother-in-law, if he says this, wouldn't the second brother be in danger?"
Third Sister Hu's expression changed at this moment, she was afraid that Hu Hei would get angry and strangle her second brother to death.
Hu Han shook his head and said: "Compromising to evil is not his way of life. He is an upright person who would rather live in pieces than live in ruins. If Hu Hei really strangles Er'er to death, I won't blame him, because
This is his way of saving people. How can we change the integrity of others because of the safety of our own families? Moreover, can compromising to Hu Hei really make him let Er'er go?"
"I'm afraid not, he will just continue to threaten Er'er's life. We mountain spirits have cultivated to this day, and we should take life and death lightly, because there is God's will in the dark, and some things cannot be changed by you."
When Li Xiuyuan saw that Hu Hei was silent, he took a step forward and shouted: "Let Hu Er go, today's fighting is over, it's over. I will not let Hu Han take revenge on you, nor will I allow you to continue fighting, otherwise
Then I will continue to fight with you, and I will not stop until one party is dead. If this is the case, I will let your clan be wiped out in this valley today."
If they still want to fight in the end, then how can Li Xiuyuan be soft-hearted? If he chooses one side to eliminate, he will naturally choose Hu Hei's side to eliminate the Fox clan.
We can't eliminate Hu Han's side.
Hu Hei couldn't hold it in any longer at this moment, he said: "I can let Hu Er go and calm down the battle, but you have to accept the bet between you and Mr. Li. Qingshan is not my Hu Hei's, but it's not my Hu Hei's.
It’s not the Hu Han’s, after all, it belongs to the imperial court. This place belongs to the imperial court and is occupied by us mountain spirits, so why can’t we use it for gambling?”
"This is true. Qingshan belongs to the imperial court, and it cannot be said to belong to Hu Han. Why can Hu Han occupy it but Hu Hei cannot? It is common for mountain spirits to fight for territory. This is the way of nature. Why should you interfere?
."
Li Liangjin's eyes lit up, he immediately regained his confidence and spoke righteously.
Li Xiuyuan said: "What you said makes some sense, but the second half of your sentence is wrong. I did not force intervention. It was you who forced the intervention. It was you who offered rewards for killing foxes and helped Hu Hei massacre his fellow tribesmen. Because of your appearance
, so Hu Han found me and got me involved in this fight. Well, since this land belongs to the imperial court, we will each invest in buying this mountain and bet on the fate of this mountain.
How about it? I wonder how much silver is needed to buy this mountain?"
Hu Han said: "Thirty thousand taels of silver are needed."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said: "We will bet 30,000 li of silver. The loser will leave 30,000 li of silver and take the Fox clan away from here. I wonder if Mr. Li has such courage?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Li Liangjin swung the purple jade fan in his hand heavily and said with strong confidence.
"You can only make empty promises to avoid defaulting on your account." Li Xiuyuan said.
Li Liangjin said with some embarrassment: "Will I default on my debt?"
"These days, people are in chaos, morals are corrupt, and there are not many people with integrity anymore. Ghosts and gods are full of lies, let alone humans. It is better to make a written note to save trouble later." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Okay, let's establish a written evidence. If we want a civil war, then this is not the place for a civil war. Please come here."
Li Liangjin looked ugly, waved his sleeves and signaled.
There is a great hall in the deepest part of the valley.
It looks like it's a few years old, and I don't know which dynasty it was built in. However, looking at the momentum and scale, it seems that it was not built by man, but by a certain fox fairy in the fox clan who used immortal methods to build it here.
