Chapter 44 New Year

It had snowed for three days, and silver-gray snowflakes were raging in the air. Every household closed their doors tightly, and the weather turned completely cold. Li Tongya tidied up the small courtyard in Lijing Village and handed it over to Li Qiuyang to take care of him. He took Liu Rouxuan to the Lijing Mountain. Jingshan.

One foot deep and one foot shallow stepping on the snow, Liu Rouxuan put on her long light gray fur, held Li Tongya's hand with a smile, and chirped:

"Brother Tongya, we will get married in the spring."

"good."

Li Tongya stroked the snow off her shoulders, smiled slightly, tilted the umbrella in his hand, shook off the snowflakes on the umbrella, and leaned the umbrella against Liu Rouxuan.

Lijing Mountain is not high, so Li Tongya led Liu Rouxuan through the fog deposited at the foot of the mountain, and walked on the snow-covered stone road to the front of the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw Tian Yun sitting in front of the stove with a smile on her arms, her face slightly red. When they saw Li Tongya, they called out:

"Second brother and second sister-in-law."

Li Tongya responded with a smile, and Liu Rouxuan was very generous to her sibling who was five or six years older than her. She snickered at the stove and started discussing with Tian Yun in a low voice.

Li Xiangping went down early in the morning to apply spiritual rain to the rice fields. He was currently practicing breathing in the backyard. Li Tongya took off his coat and hung it on the wall. He turned to look at Ren who was sewing silently and said softly:

"Where's my father?"

"The old man sleeps in the winter and is still in the house."

Ren raised her eyes and smiled, looking at Tian Yun waving hello by the fireside, then she put down the fabric in her hands and sat down together, smiling and asking Liu Rouxuan in a low voice.

Li Mutian personally widened the skylight yesterday and worked until late at night. Now he is still asleep in the house. Li Tongya stared blankly at the snow covering the entire mountain outside the window and said silently in his heart:

"It would be great if eldest brother was still here..."

Winter turned to spring, and last year was a prosperous year. There were light rains in the spring but no drought, and dry autumn but no waterlogging. There was no hail or locusts. All farmers paid a land tax of 10%. It was much more prosperous than in previous years. Every household had a surplus of grain, so winter was also good. No one froze to death.

The second batch of spiritual rice planted in Lijing Village the year before last has also matured. The spiritual rice was harvested, peeled and the bran was obtained. One hundred and seventy kilograms of spiritual rice and fifty kilograms of spiritual rice bran were obtained. Together with the spiritual rice harvested before, a total of It is two hundred and ninety kilograms of spiritual rice, ninety kilograms of spiritual rice. The two hundred kilograms of spiritual rice used to deliver the offering are enough.

With the addition of Li Qiuyang and Liu Rouxuan, Li Tongya and Li Xiangping felt a lot more relaxed. By leaving many spiritual fields to the two of them to take care of, they could focus more on their cultivation.

The Baiyuan fruit plant also bloomed, and one branch bloomed white and pink. Li Tongya estimated that the Baiyuan fruit would be ripe in a few months, so that it would not miss the day when the Qingchi Sect's envoy came to collect the offerings.

Li Tongya had just applied Lingyu when he saw Wan Tiancang entering the yard with a sad face and complaining to Li Tongya:

"Jidengqi came across the border in a mask late yesterday night and attacked many spiritual fields of my Wan family. The spiritual rice fields at the foot of the mountain were burned in all likelihood, and many mortals died. He even almost attacked Huaqian. Mountain."

"Fortunately, my master was smart and alert at all times when the spiritual rice was ripe, and he was in the formation in time. Jidengqi led his men to besiege them all night, and then retreated in anger at dawn."

Li Tongya put down the tea bowl in his hand and said with some surprise:

"The noble formation is really powerful. It can hold the Qi-training monks under siege all night."

Wan Tiancang waved his hand and said with a wry smile:

"It's just a coincidence. There was a formation master from our Wan family two hundred years ago. He built this formation with the help of a spiritual spring on Huaqian Mountain. As long as the spiritual spring continues, this formation can continuously restore spiritual energy."

"What a powerful magic circle!"

Li Tongya couldn't help but praise, and thought to himself:

"The formations on Lijing Mountain in my family are much inferior in comparison, but Xiao Yuansi once said that if you encounter a better formation, you can still use the formation flags to arrange it! It's a pity that my family does not have the inheritance of the formation..."

Wan Tiancang glanced at Li Tongya lowly, and seeing the pensive look on his face, he continued:

"It's a pity that he was so arrogant that he thought of cultivating the Taoist base and died on Huaqian Mountain."

"Training Taoji?"

Li Tongya couldn't help feeling regretful and said in a deep voice:

"But he is also a senior who is at the peak of Qi training."

"Why……"

Wan Tiancang sighed and said with some yearning:

"That was the most glorious era of my Wan family. There were five qi practitioners in the family. That ancestor died more than ten years ago, and the family lost three peaks that they had worked so hard to build, and four qi practitioners died in the battle. If the ten Feixi didn't have some connections within the sect, their families would have been destroyed long ago."

"Later, the elders passed away one by one. The one in the sect only kept the bloodline of the Wan family and no longer took care of the affairs. The subsequent generations were not as good as the previous ones, but at any rate they survived. It was not until the head of the family broke through the Yujing Wheel more than ten years ago that this could be opened. Those storage bags passed down from ancestors only found some spiritual stone talismans left, and they were of no further help."

"I see."

Li Tongya sighed deeply and filled the tea bowl in front of Wan Tiancang. Seeing him sighing, he whispered a few words of comfort.

Wan Tiancang took a sip of tea, slammed the table, and said angrily:

"Hate the Ji family. Back then, my Wan family was constantly at war with the Yu family in the north. The Ji family was just a small family caught in the middle, without even a qi-training monk. Now that we have both sides, it has grown to such an extent that it has almost defeated me. Wanjia is forced into a desperate situation."

Looking at Li Tongya, Wan Tiancang asked in a low voice:

"I wonder who the adult is in your family?"

Li Tongya understood that Wan Tiancang was referring to Li Mutian, and immediately became vigilant. Fortunately, the two brothers had already gotten along well with each other and drank tea:

"My father ran away from home in his early years and served as a soldier on Guli Road, following General Yang in his attack on Shanyue."

"Tiancang has heard a little bit that Yang Tianya established his foundation and led his troops to the east to attack Shanyue, and many people died."

Wan Tiancang moved the tea bowl and said doubtfully:

"But I heard that your father will be a mortal when you return..."

Li Tongya smiled bitterly and explained:

"My father received guidance from an immortal cultivator at home and developed Qi Qi. He also had the opportunity to practice Qi Qi while fighting in the army. As for why he abandoned his cultivation, it is difficult to tell outsiders."

"It's Amakura who is sloppy!"

Wan Tiancang cupped his hands and thought to himself:

"I'm afraid that because I became an Immortal at such a young age, my youth and arrogance have offended the children of the rich clans. It's also those children of the rich clans who are not afraid of revenge and like this kind of drama of being reduced to mortals."

He said regretfully:

"What a pity."

Wan Tiancang watched Li Tongya keep silent, gritted his teeth, and finally said:

"To be honest with Brother Li, Tiancang came here this time hoping to use the clan's formation inheritance in exchange for a peak qi training or foundation-building talisman to kill Ji Denqi!"

Li Tongya suddenly realized it and thought to himself:

"I asked my parents why Wan Tiancang came to me when he had nothing to do. This guy originally had this idea!"
