Chapter 105 Harvesting the Mirror

"In the 216th year of the Dali calendar, the leader of the Man Yue tribe, Jia Nixi, marched eastward, plundered the towns of Lichuan and Lijing, and broke through the mountain gate."

Li Jingtian held the pen with her green onion-like white fingers, carefully writing on the book, stopping from time to time to count the date with her fingers.

"The Duke was trapped by mountains and rivers. He marched westward to Dajueting and found a desperate place. He disturbed fifteen villages. The barbarian commander was so frightened that he cursed and killed them. The Duke vomited blood and locusts came out of his mouth. Then he died. He was thirty-nine years old. , Xuanxuan, Bomai’s eldest son, takes charge of the family affairs.”

After writing this paragraph, Li Jingtian sighed sadly, her plain clothes fluttering gently in the breeze. Li Tongya on the side raised his head and saw that she continued to write on the book:

"In the summer of April 17, there was a severe drought. Fifteen villages in the mountains were affected by locusts, which came from the south and covered the sky."

"good."

Li Tongya nodded slightly. He had wanted to start writing a family history a few years ago, but the family was busy with things, and the children of each clan had important matters to attend to. Now Li Jingtian happened to have some free time, and he was a direct descendant of a clan, so he left it to her.

Li Jingtian raised his brush and dipped it in ink, put the written piece aside, and took out another piece of paper. Just as he was about to start writing, he heard an announcement outside the hospital.

"Chen Donghe asks to see you!"

"Come in."

Li Tongya saw Chen Donghe stomping into the yard, wearing plain clothes.

Chen Donghe glanced down at Li Jingtian behind the curtain, cupped his hands and said:

"I have something important to report."

After a pause, Chen Donghe hesitated to speak. It had been several months since he returned to the village. Li Tongya was always coming and going. It was rare that he met him. He gritted his teeth and said:

"The head of the family once said...the only person to report this matter to is Senior Tongya."

Li Jingtian, who was behind the curtain, suddenly raised his head, put his pen down gently, bowed and stepped back. Li Tongya's expression became solemn, and he also stepped back. Then he saw Chen Donghe take out a crystal clear orb from his arms, knelt down and said in a deep voice. :

"The head of the family once said that this pearl must be handed over to the senior in person. Donghe did not dare to neglect it and never told others."

Li Tongya took the orb and picked it up gently. He saw a thumb-sized pure white rhombus-shaped fragment sealed in the crystal clear crystal. It shone in the sunlight and was quite beautiful.

Just as Li Tongya was about to speak, the Xuanzhu Talisman in his body suddenly jumped, which shocked his heart. He closed his mouth for a moment and replied calmly:

"I understand, I have already recorded the credit."

After waving Chen Donghe away, Li Tongya patted the storage bag, but found that the treasure could not be put into the bag, so he had to hide it in his arms. He nodded to Li Jingtian who walked into the courtyard and strode out of the side courtyard.

————

Lu Jiang's immortal consciousness had already lingered on the orb. Seeing Li Tongya hurried towards the backyard, feeling the connection with the fragment, he was even more shocked.

"It turns out that the legal mirror is nothing more than a blue-grey chassis. The so-called mirror is just a light that can detect people... The entire mirror of the main body has long been torn into pieces and completely lost!"

And the fragment in the orb in Li Tongya's hand is one of the lost mirrors!

The Dharma Jian itself was no bigger than a palm, and the fragment was about the size of two fingernails, already occupying one-tenth of the entire mirror surface. Lu Jiangxian was so greedy when he saw it that he resisted the urge to eat it and waited silently behind the hospital.

Li Tongya slowly bowed down and placed the orb on the altar. Lu Jiangxian immediately activated his magic power, and blazing white light spurted out from the Dharma Jian, and the blue-grey Jian body floated up.

The twelve seal characters on the edge of the mirror shone one by one, and the scorching white light undulated on the mirror surface like water waves. A heavy pressure filled the courtyard, making Li Tongya breathless.

Lu Jiangxian picked up the orb, and the mysterious light of the moon burst out. The crystal clear shell melted like ice and snow, turning into a white streak, which turned out to be a foundation-level Qi.

As the mirror fragment slowly attached itself to Jian's body, a strong sense of sleepiness and satisfaction surged into his heart. Lu Jiangxian was busy sleeping and merging the mirror fragments. He caught the Qi and threw it into Li Tongya's Shengyang Mansion.

Lu Jiangxian's eyes suddenly lit up, and a few lines of big characters appeared.

The top line is outlined with light golden strokes, thick and steady, and the words are thick and colorful.

"Heavy Sea Long Whale."

Below is a dark gray brush tip, which is sharp and sharp, as if it is made by hammering iron and stone.

"Work hard and succeed."

At that time, Li Xiangping had three kinds of Qi to choose from, while Li Tongya only had two. It seemed that the type of Qi was related to the talent of the recipient, and the level of Qi only determined the power of the seal.

With his spiritual consciousness submerged in the words, Lu Jiangxian could probably feel the difference between the two Qi.

The Chonghai Long Whale Barrel can make the recipient's mana last long, and the true energy is as thick as the sea. In one breath, the mana can be restored at a rate twice that of an ordinary person.

If the sacrifice is completed, the recipient can spend his lifespan in exchange for mana, allowing the recipient to explode several times in strength in a short period of time.

After reading these two urns, Lu Jiangxian chose the Chonghai Changwhale urn without hesitation.

He hoped that Li Tongya could go further, and that the Xuanzhu Talisman in his body could be cultivated for decades more before being taken back. What's more, with Li Tongya's temperament, he would use his longevity to fight others, or this heavy sea long whale. Be more practical.

"I've opened it for you. Stay home and I'll take a nap first..."

Lu Jiangxian murmured to himself and slowly fell asleep. Li Tongya below felt a white energy sinking into his eyebrows. A pale white Qi suddenly appeared in Shengyang Mansion, with four large golden characters written on it:

"Heavy Sea Long Whale."

"Bai Lu?!"

Before Li Tongya could react, the Qi Sea Spirit Wheel in his body vibrated, and his cultivation erupted like a volcano.

"Third level of Qi training...Fourth level of Qi training...Fifth level of Qi training..."

The deep pool in the Qi Sea Cave suddenly expanded, becoming five or six times larger than before. The aura that was originally full of true energy collapsed, giving Li Tongya the feeling that only 20 to 30% of his cultivation level was left.

Li Tongya was so shocked that he couldn't contain himself. He opened his mouth and murmured:

"What an exaggerated Lun Qi... It turns out that there is an Lun Qi in this orb... a heavy sea long whale Lun, so powerful!"

Seeing the blue-gray jianzi in front of him slowly falling, Li Tongya bowed respectfully three times, walked out of the yard, sat cross-legged, and began to gather his true energy.

Unexpectedly, just then he sat down and almost woke Li Tongya out of his trance.

"The Qi Sea is five or six times larger, but the recovery speed of this true energy is more than ten times faster! I thought it would take four or five hours to recover, but now it seems that it may not take more than an hour!"

Crossing his legs and falling into meditation, Li Tongya only spent half an hour to adjust his breath. Feeling the deep and sea-like true energy in his body, he murmured to himself:

"I'm afraid the three selves before I was tied together wouldn't be able to surround and kill me now. Instead, they would be consumed to death by me..."

Riding the wind, Li Tongya felt a lot more relaxed and thought to himself:

"The large cave in the lake is full of spiritual energy. When manpower is available, it can be repaired. It is more than ten acres in size. I don't know how many Meichi caves it can be. It will be the place for future cultivation. There’s no need to worry.”

Touching the storage bag, he found that he had gained fifty spirit stones when he wiped out the Ji family. Adding the income from selling items and the surplus over the years, the total was about seventy spirit stones.

"Qiang..."

Li Tongya took out a cold spear from his storage bag. It was the foundation-building magic weapon obtained in the snake cave. Wisps of electric light appeared on the snow-white shiny spear, which made Li Tongya's palm numb.

"Harmful……"

Li Tongya smiled bitterly. Not only did he not know how to shoot, but he couldn't control this foundation-building magic weapon without corresponding cultivation, so he could only put it in the storage bag to gather dust.

"The formation at home hasn't been set up yet, so take it with you first."

After putting away the spear, Li Tongya took out another jade slip.

This jade slip is different from ordinary jade slips. It is completely purple, feels cold to the bone, and is much harder than imagined. Li Tongya estimates that he can't hurt it even with all his strength.

"According to what Zhang Yun said, it was the "Jianghe Daling Jing" that was lost after the Lingyu Sect was destroyed. I don't know what kind of technique it is."

The jade slip locked the seal, and when the spiritual consciousness hit it, it was like hitting an iron wall. Li Tongya had no choice but to put it away and wait until he got the news later.

Stepping into the front yard, Li Xuanxuan was immersed in reading the wooden slips. Li Tongya sat gently beside him and whispered:

"How's it going at home?"

"Not bad."

Li Xuanxuan nodded and explained:

"The number of refugees in Shanyue has reached 1,200. Including the original Shanyue in the village, the number has exceeded 5,000."

"The number of villagers under the rule has reached 30,000. There are already 10,000 people living in Lijing Village. The Li family has more than 800 people. The Ye family's descendants have more than 3,000 people."

Li Tongya looked at the wooden slip in his hand and said thoughtfully:

"With such a number, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people with spiritual apertures in the coming year. We need to be careful and don't let these Shanyue cause any trouble in private."

"My nephew understands."

Li Xuanxuan nodded heavily and explained:

"I have ordered a ban on intermarriage among Shanyue. Women marry villagers, and men marry into farmers' households. There is no difference in surnames in Shanyue, and there is not much aversion to changing surnames. It only takes two or three generations, and there will be no distinction between Shanyue and villagers."

"good."

Li Tongya laughed softly, changed the subject, and joked:

"I heard that you have a concubine with six rooms?"

Li Xuanxuan paused for a moment, nodded awkwardly, and defended himself:

"That all happened the year before last. My uncle assigned me..."

"It's a good thing to spread the branches, but the number of people in large numbers is still too small."

Li Tongya nodded and said with a smile:

"Just don't indulge in the pleasures of men and women, as long as you delay your practice."

Li Xuanxuan nodded quickly and said:

"My nephew has recently touched the corner of the Jade Capital Wheel on the fifth level of fetal breath. He will be able to achieve a breakthrough in retreat in a short time."

Li Tongya stood up, looked at the sunset outside the window and said in a deep voice:

"What did the people sent to the Lu family and An family say?"

"They all came back with news. Both Lu'an families have more than 20,000 people under their control. One has taken over Huazhongshan, and the other has taken over Huaqianshan..."

Li Tongya listened to Li Xuanxuan carefully explain the news about the two families, and then he said:

"Now the villagers under my family will have no land to cultivate, and the population has reached its limit. Let's pay attention to these two families first and wait for the opportunity."

"yes"

Li Xuanxuan responded, raised his head, thought for a few breaths, and said in a solemn voice:

"There's just one more thing."

Li Tongya frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Anything else?"

"I see Donghe. I'm afraid he has some interest in Jingtian."

"Winter River."

Li Tongya was deep in thought, a trace of sadness flashed across his expression, and he replied:

"Dong He has good talent and good character. Only Xiang Ping is going. It's not appropriate to talk about marriage. Just ask Jing Tian if he has a heart before talking about anything else."

————

The night is already dark, the moonlight is gently shining on the stone path, and the refreshing breeze in the mountains is particularly refreshing.

Li Jingtian lit the candle and carefully read the records he had written in the past few days. There was a gentle knock on the door, and a clan soldier guarding the door said:

"Miss, the master of the house calls you to go to the main courtyard."

Li Jingtian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the head of the family in this person was referring to Li Xuanxuan. He wiped away the lamp on the table and said softly:

"I see."

After packing his things and gently opening the door, Li Jingtian was slightly startled. He looked at the young man in front of him and raised his eyebrows:

"Donghe?"

Chen Donghe nodded awkwardly and whispered:

"Jingtian. The master of the house asked me to come look for you."

Li Jingtian frowned slightly and said with some confusion:

"Why bother you to make a trip? What did the master say?"

Chen Donghe gritted his teeth, clenched his hands tightly, and explained:

"I, you... Hey! The master of the house asked me if I want to be a couple with you."

Li Jingtian's eyes slowly opened wide, and his almond-shaped eyes stared straight at him. He was obviously taken aback, and he spat out one word from his slightly opened mouth:

"ah?"

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Li Jingtian had already seen the answer in his fiery eyes. She walked silently on the stone road. She was slightly suffocated, her hands were cold, and she seemed to already understand what she was going to face next.

Chen Donghe also understood something from Li Jingtian's silence. The longing and beautiful look in his pupils extinguished like a fire pit drenched by rain, and turned into a puddle of cold, mixed ashes.

Pursing his lips, he escorted Li Jingtian into the main courtyard. Chen Donghe sat down at the entrance of the courtyard, staring at the bright moon in a daze.

Li Jingtian entered the main courtyard in fear. Li Xuanxuan was the only one in the room, holding up a wooden slip and reading it quietly and carefully.

Unlike Li Xiangping who always likes to sit in that position, Li Xuanxuan spends more time standing at the table, as if someone else is sitting on the big chair, making him check his behavior all the time.

"Jingtian..."

Li Xuanxuan just glanced at it and saw the answer in Li Jingtian's eyes, but he still said in a condescending and warm voice:

"What do you think of Donghe?"

Li Jingtian saw a little bit of expectation in Li Xuanxuan's eyes, and understood that his eldest brother actually hoped to marry a capable assistant like Chen Donghe, so that such blood could flow into the Li family.

"He has courage, is reliable enough, and has good talent. However, he had the third level of fetal breath at the age of fifteen, so there is hope in practicing Qi."

Li Jingtian responded calmly, and Li Xuanxuan also nodded, walked down and comforted in a low voice:

"Who among the men in the towns can compare with him? Then you should spend more time with him and go to and fro with him often..."

Li Jingtian listened to Li Xuan preach some personal words, his head was empty, and he went out blankly.

Chen Donghe in front of the door had disappeared. Li Jingtian walked along the stone road for a while, and suddenly felt deeply small and uneasy. She raised her head and looked at the bright moon, thinking secretly:

"It would be great if I also had a spiritual power."
