Chapter 949: Gratitude (112) (Qianlong Big Boss Silver Extra 1820)

Chapter 949: Kindness (1+1/2) (Qianlong boss Bai Yin will update on 18/20)

Li Ximing weighed the [Miaohui Xu] in his hand, and Master Luo laughed twice and replied:

"Right now...there are no bright-yang spiritual beings..."

It's hard for this demon cultivator to put on any airs. In the Wu Kingdom, he is said to be the one and only demon king. But when he comes outside, he is either Li Ximing or Ding Yangzi who are famous in alchemy and weapon refining, or he is an immortal from the Sun Taoist tradition who holds several treasures. Xiu, how can there be anything that can be valued by others? Just smiled and said:

"I exchanged the skills with fellow Taoist Ning Wan, but I don't have much else to offer... Fortunately... Fortunately, there are a few Ming Yang techniques..."

Li Ximing doesn't have a cold. He has these things in his family. What's more, the other party is a southern Xinjiang demon cultivator. What kind of Mingyang Taoism can he come up with? I asked casually, and it turned out that they were all ordinary goods, at most [Guangming Mingtao] level one.

He refused with a smile. Master Luo did not dare to use any of his own methods of practicing magic. He could only think about it for a while, then gritted his teeth and took out a white bead with a "water-melting" light, which was also a treasure of the Zifu, and wanted to exchange it with him.

Li Ximing didn't need any spiritual resources, so he shook his head and replied:

"Fellow Taoist, this is not possible. Fortunately, it is not of much use. We are not in a hurry right now, but my family needs to refine a suit of armor. I will keep this thing in the hands of fellow Taoist Dingyangzi, waiting for you to need it one day. Or if you have some useful spiritual resources, you can come to see fellow Taoist Dingyangzi. If that doesn’t work, you can just go to me on the lake!”

After saying this, he went to see Dingyangzi. Seeing the old man's face calm, he replied:

"That's fine...the world today is not stable...it's even more inconvenient to travel around, so I'll take care of it."

Li Ximing only thought that his instability was due to the dispute between the North and the South. He spoke politely and silently made arrangements. He also said goodbye to Dingyangzi. Calculating the time, Liu Changdie was probably still in Boluotu, so he took off on the wind. Head all the way north.

As soon as Li Ximing left, Dingyangzi's cold face softened, and he became more polite to Zhenren Luo, frowning and saying:

"I've told you several times... that thing was entrusted to me by Nanshun Luoja, that is, it belongs to Dilutian Mulberry Forest! Nowadays, he is probably the number one in witchcraft in the south. You'd better ask if you have to. Just ask."

Master Luo smiled and replied:

"Di Lutian Mulberry Forest... is famous, but isn't he just selling his friends for glory? Just ask. If he didn't have the idea of ​​​​transferring to Shitu, why would he bother so much..."

"What kind of words are these?"

Dingyangzi frowned, but Zhenren Luo said:

"If these words are false! I will chop off your head!"

This foul language made Dingyangzi frown and replied:

"But it's not your business. Your good friend on the sea... that precious elephant, didn't you get a gold stone? You can go and ask, so as not to keep this thing empty in my hands."

Master Luo laughed twice, shook his head and said:

"You're in a hurry. One more scale armor won't make any difference...it just relieves the pressure on the Sun Tradition that your master cares about most..."

"Have you ever thought about it? That Wei Xuanyin is already a great master of "Jueyin". There is also a "Jueyin" Zong Chang and a "Xiqi" general Gongsun Bei in Emperor Zhao's palace. Can you expect Li Are you here to share the pressure on the Taiyang Taoist clan? Murong Yan is enough to give them a headache."

Dingyangzi looked calm and did not deny it, and said in a deep voice:

"It would be better if Bai Lin stands out and attracts more attention. With so much chaos going on, Taiyang Taoism really needs to stay out of it and keep a low profile..."

…

Baihaixi.

The world of Xuanmiao Temple is now dark and lifeless. Ever since the ancestor Su Ming left with his carefully cultivated Qi Qiuxin, the hearts of the people here have immediately become disorganized, and the laughter, joy and ease of the past are no longer seen.

Two streams of light arrived here one after another, manifesting a man in black clouds and white clothing with gold trim, and a woman in Xiang clothing. Qi Lanyan looked with a smile on his face:

"This is the Xuanmiao Temple...across the river is Shanji!"

Kong Tingyun's eyes swept across Jiangnan in the night. In just a few days, she had already understood the things that had happened in seclusion for so many years. Scanning the west, she couldn't help but feel:

"Zhaojing real person Li Ximing, he really became it!"

To put it into perspective, Kong Tingyun was the only one who came to Li Qinghong to warn Li Qinghong that [Mingfang Tianshi] must not be used by Li Ximing. Although Kong Tingyun thought she had good intentions, seeing this result, she inevitably felt gloomy:

'Now it seems that Li Ximing finally used the [Ming Fang Tian Stone], otherwise how could he have such speed... A well-intentioned reminder has become the enemy of blocking the way... How can you tell clearly? Li Ximing must have a grudge against me! ’

She was full of emotions, and even more anxious about meeting her clan members, but Qi Lanyan beside her had cultivated the magical power of life, and her feelings were extremely keen. When she looked up, Kong Tingyun spoke quickly, with a touch of emotion:

"Senior Xiao Chuting has actually left Jiangnan..."

"Xiao Chuting..."

When Qi Lanyan heard the name, he folded his hands and showed a bit of a smile, and replied:

"He made his fortune by murdering Duan Mukui and has gained a lot of respect since then. It is normal for him to move to Beihai now. How can he still toil in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Kong Tingyun was silent, and the two of them headed south together. Soon they arrived in front of Shanji County, and saw that the county was gloomy and messy. It was no longer what it used to be. When they arrived in front of the mountain gate, they saw the crystal formation and the mountains inside. There is one piece missing in the east and one missing in the west. They are all covered with green and red, and they all look like other houses.

Kong Tingyun lowered her eyebrows, and Qi Lanyan stood in front of the formation. Sure enough, he saw a woman in purple clothes walking on the wind. She stopped in front of her, with a polite smile on her face, and said:

“I’ve met two fellow Taoists…congratulations to fellow Taoist Kong!”

Kong Tingyun didn't recognize her very well, but she recognized her Ziyanmen clothes, so she agreed politely, but Qi Lanyan looked friendly and said:

"Tingyun is my Tongxuan disciple, and she became a Taoist in Jiangbei. She came here to take back her relatives."

Tinglan felt extremely embarrassed when she heard the other party talking about Tongxuan disciples, but she still smiled and said:

"Zhu Gong is in retreat. Fortunately, we made arrangements earlier."

She was tormented in her heart, so she ordered someone to come forward, and then a guest came up in the wind, with four people behind her. In front of her was an old man with sunken eyes. The clothes on his body were new and gorgeous, and his hands were clasped nervously in front of her. .

He seems to have taken some good elixir, and the skin all over his body is rosy, but his eyes are still round and sunk in the eye sockets, showing an indelible tension, and his figure is hard to hide, making him look extremely short. , the neck was tilted forward, and he tilted his head to peek up with some fear, his hands were trembling all the time.

Kong Tingyun glanced at him blankly:

"Gu Xi?"

The old man seemed to be dreaming, his lips were pale and speechless.

When Kong Tingyun left the clan, Kong Guxi was no more than a young man, and he was still a well-known playboy in the clan. Even today, he is definitely not old, but the pressure of these years has completely crushed him, showing that he is weak and unbearable. She couldn't recognize him face to face.

There were two middle-aged people behind Kong Guxi, and the woman was holding a half-grown boy in her hand. Her complexion was sallow and dumbfounded. It was Kong Qiuyan who was young, beautiful, soft and charming back then.

The man stood tall and straight, with tears in his eyes. He was Kong Xiaxiang, who was famous for his impulsiveness and courage. He was holding a folded golden armor in his hands, and a mighty mask was placed on the armor, with dark holes in his eyes.

The torture that time has given to the three of them is far less than the traces of heavy physical and mental pressure. In just over ten years, the three of them have become completely different from each other. They huddle together as if they are keeping each other warm, looking towards each other in fear and disbelief through the clouds. She looked over.

Kong Tingyun's expression gradually changed, her soft eyes were quickly filled with tears, and her voice was hoarse:

"It's just you three."

She looked at Kong Qiuyan, who looked like a middle-aged woman, and said quietly:

"What's the child's last name?"

Compared with the two people beside her, Kong Qiuyan didn't have much despair, only deep fatigue and confusion:

"The real person, his surname is Dai."

Qi Lanyan stood beside him without saying a word, looking calmly at the low-browed Ting Lan, his eyes as clear as cold iron stone, revealing a silent but powerful sarcasm:

‘Look at what you’ve done! ’

‘It’s your Taiyang Taoism and your Tinglan’s fault! You hate me, Guan Xie, for taking action and cooperating with orders to disrupt the situation in the world. Do you know the reason now? Look at your Taiyang Taoism, which led demons to cultivate in the south of the Yangtze River. Is it such a good thing? ’

Tinglan's face was expressionless, and her heart was in turmoil. She didn't know how to say anything: Are you saying that Xuanyue under Chang Xi's rule is not a good person at all? Does it mean that Zhu Gong has shown mercy? Or is it that if Zhu Gong is not invited to Jiangnan, this place will be occupied by Duxian Dao, and the methods will inevitably be more cruel? But everything was a what-if after all. No matter what, it was difficult for her to speak. She could only say:

"Du Xian is aggressive...Zhu Gong hastily accepted the legacy of Guimen. She was born in the East China Sea and behaves recklessly, which is inevitably rough."

When relatives met and stared at each other, Kong Tingyun couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, she asked:

"How many of the descendants of Xuanyue are left?"

Kong Xiaxiang was about to speak, but Kong Guxi took a step ahead and said hoarsely:

"The sect was overthrown, but thanks to the protection of Zhenren Zhaojing, the juniors dispersed the disciples on their own and made a living under the rule of Muqian Xianmen. So far, there is no Xuanyue."

The coldness in Kong Tingyun's eyes continued, but she still politely saluted Ting Lan and replied:

"Senior Zhu Gong has protected me for many years, and I will remember it in my heart. When I ask about my son, I will definitely pay him a personal visit when he is out of isolation."

Ting Lan sighed with bitterness in her mouth, but Qi Lanyan didn't give him much chance, turned around with Kong Tingyun, and drove away in the wind, leaving only Ting Lan standing in the moonlight.

‘Everything is unpredictable! ’

After leaving Shanji, Kong Tingyun's polite smile disappeared after all. She quietly glanced at Kong Guxi who was in a dream and didn't dare to move for fear of waking up. She choked slightly and said:

"After the death of the Patriarch, who really protected him?"

Kong Guxi didn't dare to step firmly on his feet, two drops of turbid tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, and a sad look of relief finally appeared on his old face. Amidst the cries of the two people behind him, he gritted his teeth and choked with sobs:

"After the death of the real person, the jackals in the four realms wished they could be eaten by the sun. The Jingyi descendants were not allowed to see them. Xuan Miao's colleagues were praised in the mountains. All Xuanyue's friends in the past were cold-eyed! I have compassion, love, and wish The only one who extends the shade is Master Zhaojing!”

"The kindness...it will be difficult for me, the Kong family, to repay it in my ninth lifetime!"

…

North Shore.

The mountain wind roared, white snow flew, and snow fell again for no reason in the mountains. White masses were pressed between the pavilions, showing a lively whiteness.

But at the foot of the mountain, around the river, a large number of monks were fighting with the monks. The sound of killing was loud, like a bloody picture in the white snow, dyeing the stones on both sides black.

The north has only been at peace for more than half a year, and a large number of monks have crossed the river again. Like locusts fearless of death, they have crashed into the formation built by the monks on the lake. The battle situation has been escalating. Within three days, there have been continuous foundation constructions. Fight with the mage.

Li Zhouwei rarely changed into white clothes and stood quietly in the pavilion. Li Ximing had just stepped out of Taixu and was making tea with a teapot. He was about to speak when he saw a person flying out of the heavy snow and kneeling in the white snow.

Li Ximing immediately stopped talking and glanced around. Kneeling in the snow was a man in a restrained robe, his forehead pressed to the ground, with a complicated expression.

"Jueyin? What's going on!"

This person is Cui Jueyin!

Li Ximing frowned slightly and asked him to get up, but saw that the man did not dare to get up and kept kneeling on the ground with a low voice:

"This subordinate...is here to apologize!"

Li Zhouwei glanced at him in surprise and saw that his tone was low and uneasy:

"A few days ago, when the real person inspected Jiangbei, Donghai sent a letter to the junior. I hope that the junior has established a solid foundation and cultivation base. I hope that I can go back to the East China Sea to have a look..."

"I never thought that an adult in the family would be killed while out, my grandfather would remain in seclusion for a long time, and there would be turmoil in the state. Master Yangya would come back to his ancestral land, ask about the events in recent years, and send back the Zifu Kung Fu of "Chang Ming Jie", which also means the same thing. I hope …My subordinates went back to the East China Sea to hone their cultivation and prepare to break through the Zi Mansion.”

"This matter has been dragged on for too long. Now that the real person has spoken...I'm afraid...there is no way to escape."

Li Ximing was stunned for a moment, shook his head and gritted his teeth:

"What a Yangya!"

Li Zhouwei finally understood:

'Nowadays, the situation is getting more and more intense, and the ancestors of the Cui family are becoming more and more hopeless to break through. There is still no Zifu in Chongzhou. Yang Ya doesn't want Cui Jueyin, the seed of the Zifu, to get involved in the chaos of the North-South conflict! I don’t even want the Cui family to get involved in my affairs. ’

He said it softly, but just by looking at Yang Ya's actions, he knew that he was leaning towards the Cui family's position of severing contact with the Li family. Now that he came back specially, he suddenly discovered this. Maybe so many people in Chongzhou were scolded by him. His head was covered in blood, so he took the Zifu Kung Fu, and there was no doubt that Cui Jueyin would return to the state.

At his words, Cui Jueyin immediately became frightened and choked up:

"Please don't blame me, sir! The real person also has his own considerations! It's definitely not his intention! If there is a rift because of this junior...it's really hard to escape!"

"I originally wanted to wait for the real person to come back and apologize to you, but I haven't seen the real person for a long time. The order from the state is from the real person Yangya... I can't delay it. It's rare to see me today..."

Cui Jueyin has been on the lake for many years and has become his own family. Li Ximing trusts him more than ordinary direct descendants, but now he has to leave. It can be said that he burst into tears. Seeing Li Zhouwei in silence, Li Ximing said for a long time:

"Since it's your real person's order, we can't force you to stay, but you are so successful and respected, how can you leave empty-handed?"

Cui Jueyin was about to speak, but Li Ximing shook his head, took out several jade slips from his sleeves, put them in jade boxes, and said softly:

"You can take these spells and use them. No matter how Chongzhou arranges the elixirs and supplies, they will be prepared for you on the lake! I will never miss you!"

Cui Jueyin said in fear:

"Don't dare accept real people's wages!"

Li Ximing sneered and said:

"I don't dare to take it... I don't dare to take it if I send it to Yangya in Chongzhou. You just keep it in your storage bag. If Yangya asks about it, just say it's a severance of friendship and I'll give you the compensation!"

Li Ximing was not only heartbroken, but also filled with powerless anger. His voice was much softer:

"Originally, it was about the interaction between the two children. My family, Xiu Mingyang, has a sensitive identity, but it is difficult to get over it. You have been on the continent for so many years, and they have long regarded you as one of their own children. Now seeing Yangya's attitude, it would be better not to get over it. I just hope that you will achieve magical powers soon and live up to your years of practice."

Cui Jueyin kowtowed repeatedly and finally rolled up his robe and went down. Li Zhouwei turned his head away, feeling guilty, while Li Ximing drank a few glasses of wine calmly, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

But I saw a man coming to report:

"King Qing Wushao is back, saying he has something important to report!"

The snow between the sky and the earth became thicker and thicker. The man in black came up with a gloomy expression. The shadows on the soles of his feet were like snake tails circling. It was Li Wushao who was rushing back from Qingchi.

Brother Quan Yudan deliberately revealed it, deliberately not avoiding him, and leaked all the information that several people had inquired about in the sect and the Si family had obtained through their connections and background. The monster did not dare to delay for a moment, nor did he dare to appear strange. According to We quickly rushed back to the lake according to our schedule.

Although he, Li Wushao, is just a monster, the father and son who follow him are extremely respected figures on the lake, and their status on the lake is not low at all. At this moment, he just went to the lake to report, and he immediately saw the two people with the highest cultivation level today without any hindrance. Real person.

He knelt down on the ground, spoke in a low and stern voice, and spoke in detail.

'...according to your words...it should be Sui Guanzhenren without a doubt...'

‘Sui Guan! ’

Li Ximing didn't pay much attention to him at first, silently observing whether the several foundations fighting by the lake needed rescue. But upon hearing this, his gloomy mood immediately dissipated, followed by a deep sense of uneasiness, and he was stunned. Stunned, he whispered:

"Why is it him!"

The two looked at each other and saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes - when Li Qinghong passed by Xuanyue, Kong Tingyun revealed a secret to Li Qinghong:

'If the true king goes to heaven, Sui Guan will definitely live in Qingchi Luyu Heaven, and will not dare to enter the real world, let alone the south of the Yangtze River. ’

‘It means…the real kings outside the world have already finished fighting! That person has probably returned to Luyutian! ’

Li Jiangqian and Li Quewan on the side had just arrived. The man in scarlet had a gloomy face and a cold tone:

"It is rumored that this person is Da Zhenren. Not only is he a person with the highest cultivation level in the Zi Mansion, his heels are even more extraordinary... Qiu Hu Zhenren... can no longer control himself!"

‘No wonder I haven’t seen Ning Wan for many months... The Sun Sect probably thought she was recovering from her injuries! ’

Li Quewan thought for a moment and whispered:

“If Sui Guan Zhenren returns... he is a figure of the Sun Sect after all... Now that the North and South are in a confrontation, the Kong family’s affairs are unclear, and his position is more important.”

Li Zhouwei did not comment, just listened to Li Wushao’s words and replied:

“It’s just hard for you... such a dangerous thing... rushing back all the way.”

Li Wushao shook his head solemnly, and then saw a trace of doubt in Li Zhouwei’s eyes, and replied:

“There was speculation in the early years that this Sui Guan Zhenren was similar to Dongfang Heyun. If he didn’t have some magical changes or magic weapon incarnations, he was at least a Lushui incarnation. It’s unknown how many years it has been since he became a magical power... He is also unique among the magical powers and has the ability to stop the North-South affairs. It’s better to consider Chi Buzi than to pin your hopes on him.”

“Now it seems that there is probably a lack of someone who can Ning Wan, who contributed, may not even be willing to stand on the side of the unification of the Sun Dao. "

Everyone was silent, Li Ximing said:

"I just don't know if you know it."

Li Zhouwei's eyebrows flashed a trace of fatigue. It was really dangerous to discuss the facts of Lushui and Sui Guan. Several juniors should not participate. He looked at his uncle and sent Li Jiangqian and Li Quewan away first, then said:

"I have heard about the withdrawal of Qingchi and the reduction of disciples. I thought it was Master Qiuhu who changed the staff to prepare for Si Yuanli's breakthrough. Now it seems that it should be Sui Guan's intention..."

The two of them couldn't figure out Sui Guan's intention and were silent for a while. Li Wushao was very careful and whispered:

"I searched around in the sect and didn't get anything. But when I passed the market, I got the portrait of Master Sui Guan left by the Chi family... I brought it now. "

'Get it in the market? ’

This point couldn’t be more obvious. It was probably the same group of people who secretly revealed Sui Guan’s return. Li Ximing sighed in his heart and nodded:

"After all, there is no formation here. Let’s go to the island to take a look."

Li Zhouwei held him down and said thoughtfully:

"Just look here."

The monster immediately stood up, lifted his sleeves, took out a scroll from it, raised it to his own height, and then tore open the silk inside, and saw a portrait spread out.

The person in the painting stood quietly, with a slender figure and narrow eyes. There was only him drawn on the white paper, but the pupils of his eyes were not painted, and it looked blank.

Most of the supernatural powers and great powers are a bit strange. The several true lords of the [Chongming Dongxuan Screen] back then were faceless, and the immortals were represented by a golden circle. It was normal for Zifu not to draw pupils.

But the painter was extremely cautious. He only sketched the figure, without even painting the color. He only put a little green on the corner of the clothes, indicating that the clothes were green. It should be a green dress with golden spikes, the usual decoration of the Qingchi Sect's Purple Mansion.

He didn't dare to write the two words [Sui Guan], and left them blank on both sides.

'The skills are superb, and there is a sense of ferocity even through the painting. '

Li Wushao was not tall, so he stretched out his arms and was a little restrained. Fortunately, a considerate, white hand immediately took it from his palm, turned the painting over, and looked at it carefully.

The man stared at the painting in his hand, his mouth curved, and the heavy snow in the sky suddenly stopped, frozen in the air, and became his background.

Li Wushao still stood there respectfully, as if he didn't notice anything. His gray-black pupils reflected the other party's purple-blue strange eyes and smiling face.

Then I heard a light laugh in the heavy snow:

"Si Yuanli is too careless, I am not that fierce!"
