The reason why Li Xiuyuan allowed the Taigong family to settle down here was not only because he saw that this family was morally upright and had no bad deeds, but also because they knew how to behave.
A group of monsters who know how to behave as humans cannot be evil monsters.
Since he is not a demon, there is no problem living in Guobei County.
Moreover, Li Xiuyuan also felt that it was necessary to add some information about Guobei County.
Although Guobei County is protected by ghosts and gods at night, the master is no longer here. If there are more ghosts and ghosts to protect them during the day, the Li family will really be able to sit back and relax.
In addition, Li Xiuyuan was a little concerned about the calamity in his later years mentioned by Tianshan's mother.
If we can make a lot of good connections, maybe things will change.
Although this reward is likely not to be seen in one's lifetime, the spirit's lifespan is long, and perhaps one's descendants will receive blessings.
It's just a little effort, but it's not a loss in exchange for a blessing.
"Grandpa, it's getting late today. I still have some trivial matters to deal with at home, so it's not convenient for me to continue disturbing you. I'll take my leave first. If I'm free the next day, I'll come visit you again."
After drinking for three rounds, Li Xiuyuan found a reason to get up and leave.
"Since Young Master Li has something to do at home, I won't force Young Master Li to stay here. I would like to help Young Master Li help the village with today's affairs. I'm very grateful. I want to keep Young Master Li here for the night in this place of graveyards in the wilderness."
I really can't say this, so please let me go for a few days until I build my mansion.
After that, I will invite Mr. Li to my house as a guest, and I will definitely not come back drunk." The Grand Duke said with some regret, but very enthusiastically.
"We are all from the same place, for sure. We will all be from the same hometown in the future. There is no guarantee that we will not come here to chat with you again in the future. However, I would like to ask the Grand Duke to worry about Mr. Kong. Mr. Kong does need a considerate woman to take good care of him when he lives alone. At the moment, Mr. Kong is also infected.
Serious illness is the time when a woman needs to be taken care of." Li
Xiu Yuan said.
"If Master Kong and that girl Qiao Na get married in the future, remember to treat me to a drink."
"Of course, of course, Mr. Li is an honored guest, how could he not invite you?" The Grand Duke became even more delighted after hearing this.
It seems that this person is not opposed to this matter, so it seems that this plan will be successfully completed.
Of course Li Xiuyuan would not object. Master Kong avoided disaster for them. This was the merit accumulated by Master Kong. He used this merit to exchange for a beautiful wife who would bear children for him and take care of him until he grew old. Is this right?
Isn’t it the best of both worlds?
Is it possible that he wants to use the excuse of slaying demons and ruining the marriage? Master Kong is left with no one to take care of him. Isn't it a good thing to live a clear life?
Keeping the Grand Duke's family is good for everyone, but driving them away and killing them is the behavior of evil people.
He bowed his hands again and said, "Mr. Huangfu, can I ask you a favor?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare, Mr. Li, please tell me." Mr. Huangfu said hurriedly.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Master Huangfu, since your literary talents are worthy of Master Kong's praise, you must have real talent and learning. I hope that during this period, Master Huangfu can take the place of Master Kong in the school."
"Even if Mr. Li doesn't say anything, I will still complete this matter for Mr. Kong." Mr. Huangfu said, "Young Master Li is very polite."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I'm not that polite. I have some selfish motives, because I want to arrange for a naughty boy to learn from me. I can't bear to bother Master Kong. I don't doubt Master Kong's ability to teach and educate people."
, it’s just that naughty boys are really naughty and difficult to discipline. If it’s Mr. Huangfu,
If you can help me a little bit, I'd be very grateful."
"Young Master Li, please rest assured. I can still teach a naughty boy well, and I will never disappoint Young Master Li." Young Master Huangfu said, with confidence in his words.
He is an eccentric person. He has studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, followed several teachers, and even Mr. Kong praised the poems he wrote. How could he not have the confidence to teach a naughty boy?
"Young Master Huangfu, I'm relieved if you say this. Come out and meet the gentleman who will teach you in the future." Li Xiuyuan suddenly grabbed a chubby child from the Ghost King's bag.
"Damn it, I'm so suffocated. I'll never go into your broken bag again." The ginseng baby shouted as soon as it came out.
When Prince Huangfu saw this, he was immediately surprised and said: "This is the naughty boy Mr. Li wants me to teach."
Not only him, but also the grandfather next to him also narrowed his eyes, unable to calm down.
He moved his nose and smelled a fragrance from the chubby doll. It was the medicinal fragrance of ginseng essence.
There is no mistake, this fat baby is not an ordinary child at all, it is a ginseng essence that is at least five to six hundred years old.
Oh my god.
Mr. Li even caught such a fairy grass. Where did he get it? This thing is rare to see in a hundred years.
"Yes, it is this little thing. It has a naughty temper. Although it is intelligent, it has not learned anything serious. It has only learned some bad habits. Although it has improved slightly now, it is still very naughty. I originally wanted to take it with me to teach it.
, but I was afraid that I would encounter trouble when I went to Beijing this time and had no time to take care of him, so I
I have no choice but to leave it to Mr. Kong. Who knows that Mr. Kong is suffering from a serious illness and he doesn’t know how many days it will take for him to get better, so today I’m taking this opportunity to trouble you, Mr. Huangfu.”
Li Xiu traveled far.
"Ah, no, I don't want to go to class. Let me go quickly, or I will bite you."
The ginseng baby in the hand struggled, its little face bulged, and its chubby feet kicked wildly. It had not been beaten for a few days, and it returned to its original appearance.
"Shut up." Li Xiuyuan knocked it on the head.
The ginseng baby held her head and cried out in pain,
"Li, Mr. Li, this, this baby is a ginseng baby. If the news gets out, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. How did I teach it?" Grandpa looked embarrassed again.
He didn't want to take on this troublesome matter. If an immortal grass like Ginseng Baby was wandering around in the world, he wouldn't be able to bear the burden if something happened.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Destiny is determined by God, and disasters are brought on by oneself. If the ginseng baby brings disasters due to his own affairs, even if he is eaten by others, I will not blame anyone. I will just treat him as an ordinary child."
Education is enough. People's children can grow up smoothly. Isn't it good enough?
What? And on the day when it learns, I will seal its Taoism and prevent it from having the ability to cast spells."
"I also hope that by then Mr. Huangfu will teach him strictly and get rid of it."
As he spoke, he bowed and saluted again.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan being so sincere, Mr. Huangfu couldn't refuse, and since he had already relaxed before, he said seriously: "Mr. Li, please rest assured. You can leave the matter of the ginseng baby to me without any worries."
"Thank you, Mr. Huangfu is flying." Li Xiuyuan said.
Of course he understood that Taigong did not want to take over the teaching of the ginseng baby. It was not because he was unwilling, but because of the special nature of the ginseng baby, he might be murdered one day and they could not afford such consequences.
However, if the ginseng baby is still in danger if she stays here, there will be no safe place in the world.
Li Xiuyuan was not worried, it was because he trusted the Taigong family, or it was a kind of temptation.
If they dare to use their selfish motives to murder the ginseng baby, their family will definitely die under the thunder catastrophe in the future. Even Master Kong's protection will not make it through safely, because the cause and effect of the ginseng essence is here.
If you teach sincerely.
Naturally, Li Xiuyuan would not treat them badly and would definitely give them heavy gifts on the day of apprenticeship.
After this matter was settled, he said goodbye and left.
"Master Li, it's a good journey. Come back another day." The Taigong family sent them off warmly.
Li Xiuyuan responded politely, then walked out of the woods and left along the fields.
"I don't want to be ignorant, I don't want to study, and I don't want monsters who are not as capable as me to teach me. Aren't you a saint on earth? Wouldn't you find an immortal to teach me? I can still learn magic from an immortal.
"The ginseng baby was still struggling and resisting on the road.
"Others may not be as good as you in moral conduct, but their knowledge and accomplishments are countless times better than yours. I have worked hard to find a good teacher for you, but you are still picky. Do you want to fight with me again?"
Round?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Ah, damn you, can't you beat me?" the ginseng baby shouted in despair.
The Taigong and others who were seeing Li Xiuyuan off couldn't help but trembled when they heard the vague words between the two people.
"Father, father, did you hear what the ginseng spirit said just now? Is this Li Xiuyuan the saint from the south?" Mr. Huangfu's heart trembled and he said in great shock.
When they were in the north, they heard that a saint appeared in the south, and some of his deeds were also spread. It was said that the saint in the south had killed a thousand-year-old demon, the ghost king of the underworld, and had countless ghosts and gods in the temple. His reputation was spread, and it was even rumored that he had led
He led ten thousand ghosts and gods to the Heavenly Palace, beheaded the Dongyue Divine Lord, and held the
It is said that all the ghosts and gods in the south are frightened when they hear the name of the saint.
Many spirits, ghosts and gods were afraid of the saint's name and fled to the north.
It's just that saints can't calculate, and the news spread only by word of mouth, so they don't know the name, appearance, or age of the saint in the south. They thought he was a majestic prince or something, but they didn't expect he was actually a prince.
A wealthy son from a merchant family.
The grandpa was also stunned. Being cautious by nature, he was not shocked, but felt a chill covering his whole body.
"Yes, yes, I heard it. It's really dangerous. If I had used magic to do something for personal gain when I came to Guobei County, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive today's disaster."
He actually felt a cold sweat break out from his back.
After living in the world for many years, I have learned a lot about the reincarnation of cause and effect, and the catastrophes of heaven and earth. How come I don't understand that today's banquet is both my blessing and my disaster?
If you survive, you will take root here and live a stable life in the future. The thunder disaster will disappear on its own. If you cannot survive, before the thunder disaster comes, you will probably be killed among the graves in this wilderness today and become the corpses of several beasts.
.
But when he carefully recalled what Zhiqi Li Xiuyuan had said, Taigong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It seems that the saint's hatred of ghosts, gods, and spirits is just a rumor. What he hates is not ghosts, gods, and spirits. He just hates them."
He's just a devil, otherwise he wouldn't be praised
Song Niang is so beautiful, how could she be so polite as to entrust that ginseng essence to my child for your instruction?"
"Father, Guobei County is actually the hometown of a saint, and the Li family is the home of a saint. So, isn't this place a place of refuge for ghosts and gods? Why did we only see some ghosts when we came here, but not
See ghosts and gods appearing? You must know that the saint in the south is said to rule the four
Although Fang Guishen exists, he did not have any followers during this trip." Prince Huangfu couldn't help but ask.
If there were ghosts and gods following them, how could they not see the clues?
The Taigong glared: "Who would bring tens of thousands of ghosts and gods with them all day long? This Saint Li may only need to give an order. I am afraid that in an instant Guobei County will be enveloped by ghosts and gods, immortals descend to the earth, and Bodhisattvas appear. The saint's
Fame is not something you can boast about. You have seen it on the road. Survive the thunder tribulation.
The great demon and evil ghosts who have practiced the Taoism for thousands of years are all fleeing to the north. Most of the things in the rumors are true, and his reputation was gained through killing."
"Father is absolutely right." Mr. Huangfu said angrily.
Then the Grand Duke looked aside and said, "This Young Master Li once praised Song Niang for your beauty at the banquet before. It shows that he admires you very much, Song Niang, but I wonder if he is interested in you?"
Song Niang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bit of shame: "My daughter followed her father's instructions and hinted at the toast. Mr. Li is such a smart person. How could he not know this little thought of his daughter? Father, you didn't do it before."
Seeing it, Mr. Li admired his daughter’s beauty, but he was just appreciating her daughter’s beauty.
My daughter thinks of the plum blossoms in winter and the orchids in autumn. She is just enjoying them, not playing with them. Father, look at the glass of wine on the table. Has Mr. Li ever drank it? He just took it and put it down."
Taigong saw that where Li Xiuyuan was sitting before, there was indeed a glass of wine placed there, with no way to taste it.
"He drank two glasses of wine from his daughter before. It can be seen that his daughter's beauty is only enough to drink wine, not enough to seduce him. Maybe this is not a matter of beauty. Maybe it is that Mr. Li's heart cannot tolerate his children's affair. Saint
How can your state of mind be compared with that of ordinary people who are deceived by profit and beauty."
The Taigong said, "What Song Niang said makes sense, but a saint is also a mortal, and he also has mortal feelings. He is not a man without wives and concubines. I wonder what you think of Mr. Li's character?"
Song Niang thought about it and said, "When she is majestic, she is like a thunder god above the nine heavens, making people tremble with fear. My daughter is like a natural enemy, and her whole body cannot help but tremble. When she is gentle, she is like a free and easy, forthright gentleman with an open mind."
, good moral character, people can’t help but want to get close to them, their hearts
I have a good feeling in my heart, the two feelings are intertwined, and my daughter can’t tell what they are.”
"But if Mr. Li drinks that glass of wine today, maybe my daughter will be happy to leave with him."
After saying that, she became a little shy again, feeling quite confident that her father would give it to Mr. Li.
This is not because of his status as a saint.
The Taigong muttered: "It seems that there is no fate. But you are here to serve the wine today. One day this distinguished guest will come to the door. Who can be better than Song Niang? You may be more suitable to serve the wine.
One day his heart is moved, this is an opportunity for you, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter, he
Being able to compliment you on your beauty is also a kind of kindness and appreciation, which is also a good thing."
"Father said yes."
Song Niang understood what her father meant.
There is no fate today, but it will not be certain in the future. I am a monster, and time is nothing to me.
