Chapter 779 Rules

Li Xinghan thought about it for a moment, secretly remembering to ask Li Xuanxuan, and answered:

"The elders' orders are here, so please do your best, brother."

Li Zhouluo was dressed in black. He practiced the Mangjin Qi. It had nothing to do with him. His temperament had an awe-inspiring flavor that made people feel convinced. He bowed his hands and said solemnly:

"Don't worry, little sister."

Li Zhouming on the side looked at this and that, hesitating to speak. Li Zhouluo had been in charge of Qingdu and punished Li Zhouming several times. He was naturally afraid. Although his younger sister Li Xinghan was young, But with a sword on his back and a murderous intent, he was still afraid and couldn't say anything.

Li Xinghan also couldn't like the direct grandson of the Purple Mansion in front of him. There were only a few real heirs, so it took a lot of effort to get this one in front of him, but he was not very useful. Although she, Li Xinghan, was outside, she had heard rumors about him:

"I heard... that he was greedy when he went to places, and suffered from incompetence in the continent. The real people didn't value him, and they didn't give him any good magic weapons. When he went out to fight, he couldn't stand it, and he almost lost to a poor local family. , it is purely embarrassing for the family, and the old man is afraid of losing this direct grandson... I see him idle around all day long, just let him live in peace..."

After all, Li Zhouming was the direct grandson of the Zifu. For the sake of the real person, it was okay for the family to raise him. However, Li Xinghan didn't like it very much. He immediately walked away. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw brother Li Zhoufang following the fourth brother down. In a low voice, a faint voice came:

"My two brothers... their father died on the river while working hard, and now my younger brother is also dead... The family is providing financial support, hoping to give his son a sheltered official position..."

Only then did Li Xinghan remember that the dead Li Zhouken was actually the biological brother of Li Zhoufang's brother. He had adopted him to inherit the incense. The two brothers were taciturn in front of their elders, but they valued their younger brothers very seriously. This was a request. Official.

'No matter how much talent you have and how much effort you have, you will get as much wealth as you can get in the continent... shelter has always been given to foreigners. The clan is afraid that their children will sit back and enjoy the benefits for generations, so they rarely do this... harm! ’

Li Xinghan realized that the eldest brother and the second brother were good in everything, but they had a strong attachment to the matter of shelter in this generation. She couldn't help but stop and wanted to go back to mention something, but she heard the voice behind her:

"younger sister!"

It turned out that Li Zhouming chased him out.

‘That’s all…Brother Zhou Luo should be able to handle it. ’

Li Xinghan had to stop. Facing the young man holding a fan in front of her, she was polite and asked:

"What's important, Fifth Brother?"

Li Zhouming put his hands in his hands and said with a smile:

"I heard that my sister is taking people to the desert in the west to get rid of a group of wandering demon cultivators. I heard that there is a kind of [White Falcon Gold] in the desert. You can't buy it on the lake. It can be used to forge magic weapons. Please bring it for me. Come back soon, I will supply my sister with spiritual resources.”

Li Xinghan was a little strange and said:

"It's a good thing that you've also started to think about magic weapons. I'll definitely bring it with you."

Li Zhouming breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly thanked him and retreated. The woman took off on the wind and flew all the way to the island, thinking in her heart:

"It's not surprising."

She thought secretly, and then turned to the cave to pack her things for a while. When the sky darkened, she landed in front of a courtyard in the continent. The two pots of kumquats in front of the courtyard had been replaced by pots of golden oranges. Lion, the woman weighed it for a while and hesitated:

“So much more luxurious!”

After pushing the door open and entering, Li Xinghan finally had a smile on his face and shouted:

"mother!"

The woman was immediately overjoyed and rushed to greet her. The man who was holding chopsticks and tasting wine in the yard also looked over. The brother and sister-in-law in the back room also put down their things and rushed out. The whole family immediately pulled her in lively.

In fact, there were a lot of conflicts in Li Xinghan's family. His father was mediocre and unfulfilled, and his brother and sister-in-law wanted to separate the family. No one cared whether she came home or not. But since she came down from Zhijing Mountain, her brother and sister-in-law were always rushing. If she doesn't leave, she can only hear laughter and laughter all day long. Every time she comes home, it feels like she is celebrating some kind of festival.

She was pulled to sit next to her father, listening to her mother's happy face and smiling:

"Han'er! Your uncle has been working hard for so long, and he has finally been promoted to Wutu Peak!"

Li Jiafeng's position was not low, and he was a carrot and a pit, not to mention that Wutufeng was considered wealthy. Li Xinghan was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile:

"This is the end of the journey!"

She was overjoyed, but felt something was wrong. Her uncle had the stain of a remnant of the Yu family, and his cultivation level was not high. Logically speaking, it would be difficult for him to be qualified for such a position. She immediately stopped her smile and asked:

"When was the appointment?"

Mother smiled and said:

"He was also surprised by the appointment at noon. This position is very grand. I heard that he hasn't come back until midnight..."

‘Noon? ’

Li Xinghan was suddenly shocked:

'I just walked on the front foot... Brother Zhou Luo specially promoted me...'

Li Xinghan's joy gradually faded, and he felt a little confused. He held the bamboo chopsticks in his hands and saw that the vegetable clip in front of him was neither a vegetable nor a vegetable. He fell silent.

Li Xinghan asked herself, the Yuzhen Qi [Hezhen Baoqi] she practiced was harvested by her uncle Chi Tingzong who gave up his practice and sat on the altar chanting sutras year after year. He said unceremoniously that she could get the real person. Qingyan, if I can build a foundation in the future, almost half of the credit will go to my uncle.

Even in her early years, this uncle had given her enough help in terms of qualifications and guidance. Most of her current cultivation was indeed helped by her family, but it was this uncle who helped her stand out.

She became more and more silent. Seeing her appearance, the relatives in the courtyard suddenly became quiet. The father beside her glanced at her and said in a deep voice:

"Today we are in charge of Zhou Luo's family. You are also one of the top figures among Zhou Xing's generation. You just have to endure some things. My uncle has worked hard for decades, and it's time for him to be rewarded."

"Are you going to be a white-eyed wolf and ask your fourth brother to take back his life? Is it your uncle who did something wrong, or is it unfair that your fourth brother's promotion based on merit is not fair? You should give me a reason!"

It is a fact that Chi Tiaozong is not weak in ability, but it is also true that Li Zhouluo promoted her as a favor in order to thank her for her support. Chi Tiaozong finally made a breakthrough in his official career. Li Xinghan really did not have the ability to refuse this kindness...

Li Xinghan usually looked down on those who were partial to others, but at this point, she opened and closed her lips, unable to speak. She put down the bamboo chopsticks and said quietly:

"Cherish it... I'm away from home all year round, so my home should be as usual. Don't be extravagant, especially when an adult has a funeral. It's better to keep everything simple."

The middle-aged man on the side put down the wine and replied:

"Boss, tomorrow you sell the stone lion in front of the door and put back the two pots of kumquats."

"My father just carefully selected it a few days ago. He was so happy... He always came to the door to look at it again and again... Why did he sell it again..."

The elder brother sighed, and Mrs. Chi told him to shut up, pulled Li Xinghan and said in a low voice:

"Speaking of my lord's affairs... You are now a figure in the continent. Preserving your own life is the first priority in everything. If something happens to you, all hope for your family will be destroyed."

Before Li Xinghan could answer, he saw his father beside him and said seriously:

"We all understand...it's important to serve in the lake, but in addition to serving in the lake, one's relatives and friends can also benefit from it. There is no conflict between the two things. How can everyone be like a saint and not benefit from it at all?"

"My daughter knows."

Li Xinghan took two random bites and found it difficult to swallow. Knowing that his father was going to ask for an official position for his brother, he immediately said goodbye and left the table. His father said nothing, and only his mother saw him out.

After leaving the yard, her spiritual consciousness could still see clearly. The large table looked empty without her. Her mother wept, her father sighed, her brother and sister-in-law looked at each other, and there was silence. It took a long time before she heard her father's voice:

"She prides herself on being noble... Without her and your uncle, you still wouldn't be missing out on your official position. It's just that it's not very good-looking and will easily attract the attention of Qingdu's clan leaders. You can go with me tomorrow..."

Li Xinghan couldn't bear to hear any more, so he hurried out and rode the wind, letting the cold evening wind hit his face, his heart gloomy:

‘What a noble thing! If I were really Aunt Minggong and the others who only wanted to do good for the lake, my uncle would have no official position! It's just that I want to be more shameless... In the final analysis... it's because he is not affectionate enough and can't control me...'

Li Xinghan has been adhering to the heart of the sword since he was a child, upholding justice and eliminating evil. Now he only feels that he is gradually understanding:

"I usually feel that there are often favoritism on the island. It's because Qingdu has neglected his duty. Now it seems that I can't keep it myself."

She rode the wind all the way to Qingdu. The side peaks were all white, and the old man was wandering on the peak with his staff. Li Xinghan had never seen him resting before, and this time was no exception. He just said:

"My lord!"

Li Xuanxuan only glanced at it and said:

"Xing Han is here! But what about Zhou Luo? Come and tell us."

Li Xuanxuan was too senior, so Li Xinghan only followed him respectfully. When they reached the attic, Li Xinghan said respectfully:

"The boss has his own plans for his orders. The junior has no doubts. Only the fourth brother in the family is worthy of this important responsibility. It's just that the junior has seen the affairs of the clan for the first time and is about to go out, so he feels a little uneasy..."

She hesitated for a few breaths and said rather uneasily:

"There are a lot of favoritism on the lake... the monks are very friendly... Xing Han... is guilty!"

Li Xinghan told what happened at home. Li Xuanxuan stopped what he was doing and nodded silently. The old man sighed and replied:

"Xinghan...how old is your father? What is his cultivation level?"

Li Xinghan hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"My father is forty-seven years old, and his fetal breath is in the fourth layer."

Li Xuanxuan nodded slowly and replied:

"This child... his life's cultivation path has come to an end. The remaining time is only a few decades. Xinghan... can you build the foundation?"

Li Xinghan nodded slightly and replied:

"Child, try your best, there is still hope."

The old man sighed deeply and asked:

"Where's Zi Mansion?"

Li Xinghan could only say:

"Don't dare to ask for anything!"

Li Xuanxuan said in a low voice:

"The path of cultivation for many people in this world has stopped long ago. Not only do you not think about the Zi Mansion, but the few young masters rarely ask for extravagant things. For you, when you reach the foundation, your cultivation has almost come to an end. The rest of your time But a lot.”

"There are countless monks like your father on this lake. Eighty-percent of the monks are still at fetal breath. A small group of them have practiced miscellaneous qi, and their path is over. The rest are still practicing qi, and most of them can't even practice it for several levels. Go down, and there are still a few who are at the peak of Qi training."

The old man seemed a little dazed and said solemnly:

"They don't even have any Taoism. This life's practice ends here. What will happen to the remaining hundreds of years? If these monks who can't move forward are idle, who can control them? No one can control them!"

Li Xinghan was silent, and Li Xuanxuan said leisurely:

"Don't underestimate them. They can feed the common people, have hundreds of wives and concubines, kill people and take blood, and practice magic skills. They can do it all! Now, working for personal gain in order to ensure the peace of future generations is already the best result of education."

The old man said in a low voice:

"Xi Jun has created such a complicated and hierarchical system of officialdom, human relationships, supervision and supervision. It is not without purpose... Han'er... sometimes we don't need them... but keeping them busy is good for us and the people. It’s important, we can’t always keep them busy just by merit.”

Li Xinghan stared blankly at the old man in front of him, and Li Xuanxuan said:

"Later, Zhou Wei found various good medicines for breakthroughs and breakthroughs. Some of them were not as useful as expected, but they had to arrange their younger generations before they would be willing to retreat to break through and fight for a glimmer of hope... There is a certain limit. It is not necessarily a bad thing to protect the younger generation and rely on favors to obtain official positions. "

"In today's world, people are refining blood energy everywhere, so we can't have too high demands on them."

Li Xinghan clenched his fists slightly, and the sword on his back gave off bursts of cold light under the moonlight. Li Xinghan whispered:

"Sir... But is this... really in line with the right path..."

The old man leaned on the backrest, his snow-white beard resting on the back of his wrinkled hands. Li Xuanxuan looked a little tired, and he whispered:

"We can't control a group of people who are always greedy... we can only let their greed go elsewhere. Han'er, things don't happen overnight. Maybe your descendants have better ways, but in order to keep the peace of mortals, this is the only way for now."

Li Xinghan's eyes gradually cleared up, and she nodded thoughtfully.

"Xinghan, I told your fourth brother about this matter this morning. I just want you to understand one thing."

The old man in front of him was hunched over on a mahogany chair with a very high backrest, huddled in the shadow of the house. For a moment, he showed a very strong old look. His voice was very soft:

"Many things outside the rules are also within the rules."

…

In the continent.

The night was thick, but the lights in the main hall were still bright. Layers of letters were piled on the table. Li Zhouluo read them carefully, resting one hand on the table, thoughtfully.

It was the first time he took control of Zhouhu, and he felt quite uneasy. He discussed things with his brothers early in the morning, and has been busy in this position until now. Many secrets he has just learned.

'It turns out... so many foreign surnames belong to the continent. There are quite a few geniuses with foreign surnames in the family. Two of them failed to break through and build foundations on the continent...'

He studied it carefully, and after much of the night, he heard the people below coming up to report:

"Sir, the Third Young Master has returned from the east bank and is waiting outside the palace."

Li Zhouluo quickly put down his pen and said:

"Please come in quickly."
