Chapter 405 News Arrived

Qingdu Cave.

The closed stone door slowly opened, and Li Qinghong stepped out lightly, his breath steady and strong, the thunder on his body much restrained, except for a little cold light on the tips of his hair and the corners of his clothes.

During this period of seclusion, Li Qinghong has stabilized her cultivation. Compared with the dazzling brilliance during her previous breakthrough, it now seems less dazzling, and it is difficult to see her immortal foundation at a glance.

Li Yuanjiao had already made an agreement with her to follow Li Xuanxuan and the others in the Xuanwen Lingwu to Hengzhu Daomen in Hengdong County, and Li Qinghong went out to look after the house.

At that moment, he went out in the wind, wearing jade boots and walking on purple lightning. Li Xiya was dealing with affairs in the middle hall. There were two piles of letters piled on the desk, and he looked very busy.

Li Qinghong just fell down, and everyone in the hall fell to their knees. Li Xi'ao also stood up quickly and said respectfully:

"Auntie is out of the mountain... The thunder altar is already being built. There is still 60% of the construction period and it can be completed within a year."

"good."

Li Qinghong responded kindly. Her Immortal Foundation [Xuanleibo] has the effect of praying for thunder and drawing electricity, but she doesn't know if it has the effect yet, so she can only build a high platform to try it out first.

Li Qinghong had sent people to build a high platform earlier. This high platform was very troublesome. He had to burn formation patterns, collect spiritual objects, and create thirty-six kinds of bronze vessels with six sides and six corners. Even a foundation-building monk would have to spend a lot of effort. .

Fortunately, the Li family had a lot of hands. Li Qinghong only burned the pattern formation, so naturally Li Ximao sent someone to do it.

Li Xi'ao responded, took out two small letters from the case, and said respectfully:

"The Yu Tingwei who came to Xu and Zhao at home sent back news. Please take a look at it."

Li Qinghong made a move with her delicate hands, and the two letters were unfolded in front of her one after the other.

One letter was news from the State of Zhao. [Lihuo Gun] Chu Yi went north in the State of Zhao, destroyed three Hu Jie nobles, destroyed six large and small temples, faced a group of pursuers and broke through the Zi Mansion, and then paid homage to the Zi Mansion. On a certain peak in Luoxia, I went into the mountain to practice.

Li Qinghong was stunned. He didn't know how much preparation he had to do to build a foundation and break through the Zifu. He was looking for a suitable place to retreat, looking for various spiritual objects to set up formations, and waiting for the inspiration from heaven and earth to match the immortal foundation. Fit.

Even after making so many preparations, he still had to prepare all kinds of elixirs and spend many years in seclusion in various formations.

'This Chu Yi's breakthrough seems like a joke. He broke through just as he said he would break through... Breaking through the Zi Mansion after just a few months of seclusion is simply unheard of. ’

’ He has already broken through the Zi Mansion...it’s only been ten years or so...and he’s done so in such a trivial way...he is undoubtedly the reincarnation of Jin Dan. ’

It only took ten years for Chu Yi to break through the foundation building and achieve the Purple Mansion. He almost told the world clearly that Chu Yi was the reincarnation of Jin Dan. The three Hu Jie aristocrats and the six temples were nothing more than sacrifices promoted by Shi Xiu and could not understand. Poor guy about the situation.

"Ten years...it's really a golden elixir method."

It's just that the letter didn't mention Chu Yi's Immortal Foundation, nor his magical powers. It must be that he couldn't find out such news, which made Li Qinghong a little regretful.

‘There is almost no contact between Luoxia Mountain and Jiangnan. When Chu Yi entered the mountain, he must have sat back in his golden elixir fruit position and never returned. ’

As for the Yufu County family and the forces that were wiped out, no one cared about it. Li Qinghong glanced at it and wrote it down, then read another small letter:

It was said that a group of demonic cultivators came to the barren mountains by the river in the north and occupied several hills. It was originally an innocuous thing. If a random cultivator had not escaped here, the Li family would not even know about it.

But according to what this casual cultivator said, the level of the demon cultivator was not very high, but one of them was holding a bloody mirror, which was very powerful, and there were a lot of information at the back.

"Bloody Mirror?!"

Li Qinghong's eyes suddenly turned cold:

"Zhang Huaide?!"

Li Xi'ao nodded and responded in a low voice:

"According to the description of the casual cultivator, this animal should be correct!"

At that time, a group of demon cultivators came to the west during the demonic disaster. Among them were Zhang Huaide, Qiu Ji and others. They killed Tian Youdao, injured Li Xuanxuan and Xu Gongming and fled. Zhang Huaide was a man with a background and used the escape method to escape completely. It's a bloody mirror.

It doesn't matter Zhang Huaide, that Qiu Ji was the culprit who killed his brother Li Yuanyun and almost killed Li Xuanxuan. Li Qinghong hated him deeply and only whispered:

"What kind of cultivation is he now?"

"It is said that he has reached the ninth level of Qi training."

Li Xiya gritted his teeth and answered:

"All the demon cultivators are Qi cultivators, most of them are in the middle or late stages of Qi training."

He was thinking about how to persuade his aunt next, but Li Qinghong looked hesitant:

'My brother is out, and most of the family's combat strength has been reduced. At this time, Zhang Huaide comes? ’

Although she felt deep hatred in her heart, she understood that this might not be a coincidence. She swallowed her breath and said softly:

"It's too strange. Send someone to investigate again."

"yes!"

Li Xi'ao nodded in agreement, feeling relieved, and Li Qinghong said:

"Send someone to find out the location. I'll ask Wu Shao to go there and investigate a little more. Zhang Huaide has a good background. He might be a secret agent of the Three Sects. There must be something fishy staying here."

Li Xi'ao responded respectfully, and then Li Qinghong took advantage of the wind and asked again and again:

"Let's ask clearly! It's too much of a coincidence that the casual cultivator defected to my house. Don't believe it."

Li Xi'ao nodded in agreement, watched Li Qinghong leave, returned to the top, flipped through the ledger, looked down at Dou Yi, and said softly:

"One hundred and eighty-one pounds, is this all this year's [Ni Shui Han Tie]?"

Dou Yi's hair was already gray and he looked much more stable. He said in a deep voice:

"Go back to my lord, that's all."

"good."

Li Xiyi kindly asked him to go down and waved his hand. Chen Mufeng stepped forward. Li Xiyi said softly:

"This [Ni Shui Han Tie] is not the same as the number of changes in the ore vein reported by An Queyan. You quietly send the Yuting Guards to check... If you catch them, come back and report to me first."

Chen Mufeng has been cooperating with him for many years. He said in a deep voice:

"This method is too stupid... The reserves of this ore vein can be found out by checking. If the amount is missing and does not match the amount mined, there must be a problem. How can you hide it privately?"

The Li family has "Listening to the Earth Court", and the changes in the ore veins are clear at a glance. All the noble families cannot do without this method. Only the Xiao family and other noble families can openly hand over the ore veins to their subordinate families for mining, and there is no place to hide them privately.

Li Xiyi shook his head:

"The mine reported 181 kilograms, but I sent someone to the warehouse to check privately, and it was 190 kilograms, and no one was hiding it."

"It should be because I just started to manage the household, so they secretly tested it. If I make a big move, I will go back to the warehouse to calculate it again, and then I will find that it is 190 kilograms."

"In this way, I can at most count them as careless, and then push the account-keeping monk of the small sect as a scapegoat to try my tricks."

Li Xiyi has been following Li Yuanping for nearly ten years, and it is not for nothing. I don’t know how he is, but at least he can see through the twists and turns below. He said hesitantly:

"Go check first, and report to me when you have news. Aunt’s matter is important, so it’s okay to put this matter aside."

Chen Mufeng took the order and went down. Li Xiyi thought for a while, got up and rode the wind, went up to Qingdu Mountain, circled around, and gently landed in an ordinary courtyard.

He knocked on the door and went in. Li Yuanping was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a pen in his hand, carefully recording something.

Li Yuanping looked fine, but his hands were shaking and he could not hold the pen steadily.

Li Xiyi then stepped forward, and Li Yuanping asked:

"How do you want to deal with it?"

Li Xiyi hesitated for a while and replied:

"This matter... The monks of the small sect were used as scapegoats. We should start from the small sect. Many brothers listen to me very much. It should not be difficult to find out who secretly changed the number before and after this matter..."

"But find another scapegoat."

Li Yuanping shook his head and said softly:

"I will teach you one last time..."

"This test is only to understand your preferences and test your bottom line. All the forces under your command benefit together, and most of them acquiesce and support. The monks of the small sect are also scapegoats pushed out by the small sect... If you start from the small sect, that is, you are close to the trusted branch, whether you rely on Yutingwei, start from the Dou family, or start from Fufeng, you will expose your preferences."

Li Yuanping said softly:

"The most taboo in this matter is that the interests of all the monks under your command are consistent, It contradicts you again. Although Xiaozong is the victim on the surface, it also agrees to admit it. The only victim is the innocent monk. "

Li Xiyi listened carefully. Li Yuanping smiled coldly and replied:

"You only need to send someone to the warehouse and secretly turn the 190 kilograms into 181 kilograms. This group of rabble will naturally fall apart!"

Li Xiyi was stunned for a moment, nodded suddenly, and said happily:

"Yes!"

He nodded repeatedly and murmured:

"This is a big deal! Xiaozong will definitely not sit still and will suspect which party made the fake become real. They can only point fingers in reverse. No one of the seven or eight forces can bear it, and they will inevitably bite each other. I only need to sit high and make a decision, suppress the strong and support the weak, and maintain balance..."

Li Yuanping did not respond to him, and wrote silently. Li Xiyi had a plan in his mind, bowed deeply, and withdrew.

Li Yuanping was calculating the days and writing the family history. After a while, he saw Li Qinghong coming in and sitting beside him. She pursed her red lips and didn't say anything. She just sat there.

The brother and sister sat quietly facing each other, and the cool breeze of early spring came slowly. Li Yuanping didn't meet this sister very often, and they didn't grow up together. He paused and finally spoke:

"Zhang Huaide's matter is strange, please bear with your anger... Don't be impulsive."

Li Qinghong just said softly:

"Of course I understand. I have endured it for so many years. I am afraid that if you endure it for a long time, you will forget it easily."

Li Yuanping snorted, put down the pen, and replied:

"That's why I have to write history."

Li Qinghong looked at the pages he had put down and said:

"Although Xi Xi was not very strong, he did his best. I have seen the changes in the past ten years. He is now a completely different person."

Li Yuanping nodded and replied:

"I understand."

...

Li Qinghong practiced spearmanship in the mountains for a few days. Before the demon cultivators in the north could find out, a demon deer came from the south and landed in front of the mountain. He asked An Queyan and others to report it first, and then he entered the mountain in an orderly manner.

Said to be looking for Li Yuanjiao, now that her brother was out, only Li Qinghong could meet him. The demon deer knelt on all fours in front of her and spoke in human language:

"Reporting to the Immortal, my master has found the clue of [Blood Tun Fruit]. Please follow me to the mountain and talk to my master in detail."

"Okay!"

A smile appeared on Li Qinghong's face, nodded, called Li Wushao out of the lake, asked him to look after the house carefully, and followed the demon deer into the mountain.

Li Yuanjiao talked to Li Qinghong about the foundation-building deer demon Lu Ken. Now he has set up a demon cave at the northern foot of the mountain and chose a not very high mountain. The foot of the mountain is very flat and many deer have moved in.

Li Qinghong and the little demon just arrived in front of the cave, and Lu Ken had already come out to greet him naturally, with brown hair and black eyes, and was slightly stunned:

"Your Excellency is...?"

"I am Li Qinghong. My brother Li Yuanjiao is out for clan affairs, so I came here."

Li Qinghong smiled and responded. The deer demon blinked and nodded:

"I am Lu Ken, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

Lu Ken did not hesitate to see her and said with a bow:

"Your brother asked me to find a precious medicine [Blood Tun Fruit]. Now that I have found a clue, I will inform the nobles."

Li Qinghong nodded, and he continued:

"I have inquired from many sources. A fellow Taoist from Nanlu once wrote back to me, saying that he had seen a tiger demon showing this thing in the Quanwu Mountain Demon Cave. The description in the letter matched everything. It should be [Blood Tun Fruit] without a doubt."

Li Qinghong nodded slightly, but Lu Ken shook his sleeves and said straightforwardly:

"This demon has a status in the Quanwu Demon Cave, but unfortunately it was eventually After all, he is not a big shot and is not easy to bully. "

"It is better to do it now than to wait for a day. Why don't you and I go there and grab its precious medicine to avoid any changes after a long time."

Lu Ken said as a matter of course:

"Let's grab the spiritual fruit first, and then try to see if we can kill it. It would be the best if we can kill it, but it will be fine if we can't."

"If you can't grab it, try to buy it."

Li Qinghong had no choice but to nod. After all, monsters are not the same kind. They act directly and even more nakedly without concealment. She asked:

"What is the cultivation level of this tiger monster?"

"The middle stage of foundation building."

Lu Ken looked at her face, understood her concerns, and responded He said:

"He is just a demon general without a Taoist tradition. He can't learn the magic of the human race. He only has demonic power. Fairy, don't worry."

He smiled:

"It will only take a month or so. You will understand when you see him."

Li Qinghong nodded, and felt the black thunder in the Qi Sea Thunder Pool. She was sure in her heart, and said politely:

"Please."

Then she followed him to ride the wind, and the two flew up to the clouds. Lu Ken seemed to be estimating her age, and sighed:

"The inheritance of the nobles is really exquisite... The speed of your brother and sister's practice is considered fast even in the aristocratic families... It makes us old guys who have practiced for hundreds of years feel ashamed."

Li Qinghong said a few humble words, Lu Ken said again:

"I don't know what kind of Taoism you are? We will join forces to fight the enemy in a while, let's talk first."

As he spoke, the deer demon showed his magic power, a pair of big horns appeared on his forehead, his voice became rough, and the wind he drove was fresh and pleasant, full of vitality. He said in a deep voice:

"I am cultivating the [Lingyun Wood], which can heal, control qi, nourish spirits and cultivate earth veins, and transform into plants and trees..."

Once his immortal foundation was revealed, the speed of driving the wind became obviously faster. Li Qinghong nodded lightly, and purple lightning appeared under his feet. The speed was even faster. The jade armor showed purple lightning, and he whispered:

"[Xuan Lei Bo], drive thunder and lightning, eliminate demons and suppress evil."
