Chapter 833: Sacrifice Ancestors During Qingming Festival
March 3rd is the Qingming Festival, and every family goes to visit the graves. Some graves have white paper on them, and some graves are deserted. They come from afar to offer sacrifices, burn incense and pay homage to their children and grandchildren. They perform filial piety once a year and think about their loved ones during every festive season.
It's Qingming Festival again, but the weather is rare and sunny. The entire Qiantang County is almost empty. People in the city go to pay homage to their deceased elders in twos and threes. There is a faint feeling of sadness filling the sky and the earth.
Li Gongfu, Xu Jiaorong and his wife, and Xu Xian, who was already eighteen years old, also left the city and followed the flow of people in twos and threes to the tomb where their parents were to burn incense and offer sacrifices.
A few years have passed, and both Li Gongfu and his wife, as well as Xu Xian, have undergone considerable changes.
Due to the stable situation in the past two years, Li Gongfu spent most of his time in Qiantang. He had a lot of free time to accept Lei Hu's guidance, and his strength improved rapidly.
Right now, his strength has reached the middle stage of fake elixir, and he is not far away from the late stage.
With strong strength, both the right to speak in the county government and the momentum in the government government are quite strong.
The continuously re-elected Fujun even privately guaranteed through certain channels that as long as Li Gongfu was willing to be transferred to the Fuyamen, at least one high-level head catcher would be indispensable.
However, Li Gongfu accepted the suggestion of his master Lei Hu, and planned to take advantage of the situation to stabilize, first increase his strength to the peak of false elixir, reach the peak level of the golden sword spirit he has practiced, and then go to
It is not too late to take office in the government office.
At present, Li Gongfu is affiliated to the Qiantang County Government, and the transfer from the government office can only be regarded as a temporary job, and cannot be too forced. Li Gongfu has a lot of room for maneuver, or he has a lot of freedom during the secondment.
But once transferred to the government office, the tasks assigned by the government office must be completed, and there is no room for bargaining.
If the situation really goes bad and there are powerful monsters and monsters causing trouble in Yuhang, it would be best for Li Gongfu not to take the initiative to transfer to the government office.
Although great achievements can be made at critical moments, the risks are also great.
With Li Gongfu's strength, he may not be able to withstand it.
As a well-known public servant in Yuhang Mansion, Li Gongfu knew a lot about some secret things, but he also had a rough idea.
There really aren't too many demons and monsters in this world who are successful in practicing cultivation. From time to time, a few will pop up and cause a lot of trouble.
It is very difficult to suppress them all with the power of special yamen alone. At this time, the yamen that governs the people must also take action.
But the problem is that among the demons and monsters who have succeeded in cultivation and dare to make trouble, the weakest ones are in the late stage of false elixir or at the peak level, and most of them are strong in elixir formation.
The experts gathered in the yamen will not be able to do much once they are faced with these powerful demons and ghosts.
Li Gongfu is a powerful person in the Yuhang Mansion. Whenever something happens, he is sent to the government office to help. It is conceivable that there are not many experts in the normal government office.
Once you confront demons and ghosts who have successfully cultivated themselves, if you are lucky you can escape with your life, but if you are unlucky the consequences will be quite miserable.
Li Gongfu has done so many tasks, dealt with many powerful beings, and encountered many life-threatening risks. He was really lucky enough to escape with his life.
Because of this experience, he values his own strength even more. As for his status as a government official and the benefits of joining the ranks of high-ranking officials, he cannot be ignored.
If the government office can't solve the problem, even calling him over won't help.
It is better to practice martial arts in Qiantang and improve your cultivation level. If your strength reaches a sufficient level, you will not be helpless even if you encounter those demons and monsters who are successful in cultivation.
It just so happened that Qin Feng Martial Arts Hall had undergone some changes. It no longer accepted new disciples, but had become a place for advanced martial artists to advance.
It was such a rare opportunity to receive personal guidance from Master Lei Hu. Li Gongfu knew very well that he did not want to miss it, so he did not agree to Fujun's invitation and stayed in Qiantang to quietly improve his cultivation strength.
The effect was astonishing. After just over two years of silent accumulation, his strength had reached a very advanced level, at least that's what Li Gongfu himself thought.
At this time, if he encounters a great demon in the Core Formation Realm like Miss Xiaoqing again, he still won't be able to do it, but he won't be as helpless as he was a few years ago.
However, through official channels, martial arts channels, and rumors in the world, he vaguely felt that something was not right in the atmosphere, but he had no clue about it.
In this situation, we can only say that Li Gongfu still doesn’t understand enough about his own cultivation realm!
The fake elixir realm is also called the magical power realm. It has transcended the level of ordinary warriors. The mind is connected with the world and can be vaguely aware of certain things related to itself that have not happened yet.
It's almost like a whim, or a 'foreknowledge', it already has a habit of magical powers.
At this time, Bai Suzhen, the thousand-year-old snake demon, is about to arrive, and has a deep intersection with his life. Given Li Gongfu's level of cultivation at this time, it is quite normal for him to feel something.
As for the original plot, Li Gongfu there is just an ordinary head catcher with some outside skills. How can he be qualified to participate in the disputes between monks?
As for Xu Jiaorong, after these years of 'struggle', she finally successfully entered the circle of powerful wives and lived a very comfortable life.
Although the Xianggong Li Gongfu was not an official, Li Gongfu's influence was there. Even the county magistrate did not dare to neglect him easily, and local powerful people did not have the courage to offend him easily.
Under such circumstances, Xu Jiaorong easily entered the circle of upper-class ladies in Qiantang County, and gradually emerged and gained a certain degree of influence.
However, Xu Jiaorong's mood has not been very good recently.
For no other reason, she had been married to Li Gongfu for several years, but they still had not given birth to a son or a half.
In this world where "the greatest unfilial piety is having no offspring", Xu Jiaorong has been unable to get pregnant for a long time, and a lot of pressure has accumulated in her heart.
Because of this matter, she has not been very willing to participate in the social circles of the upper-class ladies in Qiantang recently. She really can't stand the strange looks and whispers from those ladies.
snort!
Do you think she doesn't know that those gossipy women who like to spread the private affairs of each family secretly have a lot of envy, jealousy and hatred because of their husband Li Gongfu, and they don't know how many gossips they have spread about her quietly.
Of course, these are just the entanglements and worries in her heart, but it is not easy to tell her husband Li Gongfu.
To be honest, Li Gongfu really had nothing to say to her.
If it were another powerful family, just because they had more than others, countless disputes would have arisen. In the end, they would even have to force a smile and take the initiative to recruit children for their husband-in-law to continue the Li family bloodline.
There are many living examples of this kind of thing in the madam's circle. Xu Jiaorong felt that she couldn't bear such grievances. If such a thing happened, she probably wouldn't be able to survive.
Fortunately, her husband-in-law had been busy on business trips in the past few years, and in recent years he had devoted himself to practicing martial arts to improve his hypocrisy. He had no time to care about anything else, which made her worry in vain for a long time.
However, being married for many years and having no children is always a hidden danger, and it might explode one day.
At this time, Xu Jiaorong was somewhat thankful that her husband Li Gongfu did not rush to take up a post in the government office and become a high-level government official, thus avoiding the trouble that would definitely happen to her.
Once your husband becomes a high-level headhunter, there will definitely be many people who want to curry favor or suppress him.
No matter what, Xu Jiaorong felt that she had not given birth to a son or a half, which was definitely her biggest flaw. If she really got to Fucheng, she didn't know how she would be taken advantage of.
Although her own troubles have not been resolved, Xu Jiaorong still has another concern, that is, her younger brother has grown up, but he has not yet married.
In short, Xu Jiaorong was in a very bad mood at the moment. She just planned to take advantage of the Qingming Festival to go out and relax her mind. Otherwise, she would go crazy if she kept thinking about things.
Xu Xian was already over eighteen years old at this time, and he was definitely considered an adult in the Song Empire.
At this time, he was still pretty, but he had a bit more of the temperament of a medical apprentice. He was still an apprentice at Qingyutang Medical Center in Qiantang County. He was full of interest and energy. He often fantasized about becoming a famous doctor and marrying a handsome man.
The beautiful wife lives a happy life.
After working as an apprentice at Qing Yu Tang for two years, his medical skills could only be said to be average at this time. Dr. Wang from Qing Yu Tang had not officially taught him medical skills yet, so he just wanted to let Xu Xian accumulate a few more years of basic skills.
Xu Xian didn't care about this. Not only did he not dislike such a life as too hard, but he also enjoyed it. He really became obsessed with medical skills and was very willing to explore and study it in depth.
But, he also has troubles.
As you get older, you will inevitably have to be talked about by your elder sister about your marriage.
This was nothing, but what troubled him was that Dr. Wang from Qing Yu Tang wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law.
He had seen the girl from the Wang family. She was a pretty girl from the Xiaojia Biyu family. It was said that she would definitely be a good match for him, and it would be a pretty good marriage.
But Xu Xian was not very happy. The woman he wanted to marry must be as beautiful as a flower. Obviously, the Wang family girl still lacked a lot of talent.
But in this case, he didn't dare to talk to others, so he had to pretend that he didn't understand and deal with it for the time being.
He also knew that this method would not last long. He would wait until he reached nineteen at most, and there must be a result, otherwise he would not be able to complain to his sister and his master, Dr. Wang.
After paying homage to their parents and elders, and seeing that it was still early, Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong discussed it and decided to continue playing outside for a while. They asked Xu Xian if he wanted to go alone and take a look, so they simply went their separate ways.
At the same time, two rays of light, one white and one green, flew from the horizon of the West Lake and landed in a remote place next to the West Lake, revealing two women with extraordinary beauty, one white and one green.
"Sister, today is Qingming Festival, the benefactor you are looking for should be nearby, let's go find it quickly!"
The girl in a green dress who looked like a maid said: "It's just that there are so many people worshiping their ancestors today, it's not easy to find that 'master', right?"
"Xiaoqing, there's something wrong!"
The woman in a white dress, exuding an elegant atmosphere, suddenly frowned and reminded.
