Chapter 647: Changes in the Situation
Qingdu Mountain.
The cold rain came one after another, and the newly born lotus on the lakeshore was affected by the frost. It hung down and fell on the lake, gray and muddy.
Li Qinghong held the jade box in his arms and set foot on Qingdu Mountain. He found that there were more and more moss growing on the steps. However, Li Xuanxuan came here every two days, but there was always a clean road. After walking for more than ten steps, there were many green steles.
Li Ximing was still nowhere to be seen here, and she knew he wouldn't be able to come for a while. Only Li Xuanxuan was wearing a gray-blue robe, holding the monument with his sleeves rolled up, and squinting his eyes while writing. When he saw Li Qinghong coming up, the old man asked:
"The arrangements have been made at the foot of the mountain."
"Yes, Jun'er has never taken a wife and has no heirs. There is no trouble."
Li Xuanxuan blew the stone chips in his hand, and the woman stood aside and whispered:
"I'm afraid he feels guilty and won't allow himself to take a wife."
The old man turned the stone tablet, put down the stone knife in his hand, and replied:
"I am getting older. Please say a few more words. Qinghong will listen."
He sighed and continued.
"Among the four Xis, Jun'er is the closest to me, and he is also the most ruthless. Killing Meng is something he can do... Whether he is guilty or not, whether he is severely punished or not, he doesn't care about anything that hinders Ximing from achieving magical powers. Anything—even himself—can be eliminated."
"If he hadn't been born in my family, he would have been a cunning, unpredictable and demonic figure."
Li Xuanxuan put up the monument and said hoarsely:
"Yuan Ping told me a long time ago that the two of them are selfless and ruthless to the point of being suspicious. That's true."
Li Qinghong put the jade box away and whispered:
"Uncle, Qinghong is not as good at planning as my brother. Wang Fu's matter will be someone else's plan. I..."
Li Xuanxuan waved his hand and replied in a clear voice:
"Just try your best, don't blame yourself."
Li Qinghong stood quietly for a while, then walked down the stone steps. He saw several of Li Xi's descendants coming up the mountain to worship their father-in-law and respectfully calling her "Sir." Li Qinghong hurriedly went down the mountain, riding thunder all the way, and stopped on the island. .
When she arrived at the main hall on the island, she still didn't see Li Ximing's figure. She sighed. However, Li Chengliao had been waiting for a long time. When he saw this, he took a step forward and said softly:
"Sir, a letter from Zongquan Island!"
As he handed the letter over, he spoke concisely and clearly:
"The first thing is Cheng. He has taken the elixir sent by his family a few days ago and has broken through to the ninth level of Qi training. He said that overseas water brings thunder and rises. He has just reached the ninth level of Qi training and he has the idea of a breakthrough. So he went into seclusion."
Li Qinghong frowned slightly and said softly:
"This kid made his own decision... The Qingchi Sect's reward has not yet been fulfilled. I still have some Suiyuan Pills in exchange for them... I don't know why he went into seclusion on his own."
Li Qinghong also understands that sometimes inspiration comes and a breakthrough opportunity suddenly appears. However, she has been on the island for many years and is familiar with this child, so she still thinks in her heart:
'I'm afraid this child thinks he has not made any contribution to the family, but most of his brothers and sisters died in the war, so he is reluctant to speak...'
"Second, Master Kong Heng... came to ask Uncle Xijun."
Li Xijun was his biological father-in-law. Now Li Chengliao was wearing sackcloth and mourning, with a sad look in his eyes, and he said softly:
"The Master suddenly broke his oath a few months ago and vomited three liters of blood. After thinking about it, he thought it was Xi Jun's problem, but he didn't dare to leave at will, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to ask."
Li Qinghong opened the letter and read it, and saw Kong Heng wrote:
'The young monk once swore to Xijun that he would be grateful even if he died. I cannot promise my oath lightly, just because I am afraid that Xijun will be in trouble... This made me vomit blood... I hope you will be careful and investigate carefully! ’
Li Qinghong put it away silently.
She did not call Kong Heng on Wang Fu's matter. She felt that it was not a glorious matter. Even if Changxiao Clan was against her family, she did not feel that it was a moral matter.
The Li family has never prided themselves on being moral. In today's world, all they can do is treat the people well, avoid eating with blood, and rob the enemies of spiritual objects. These things they can do, but Kong Heng cannot.
He practices ancient Buddhism, and what he has always paid attention to is the original mind. If he is asked to do these things, it is one thing whether he agrees or not. I am afraid that he will go astray.
Kong Heng has worked hard and accomplished a great deal. In order to repay the debt of breaking through the mage, he has been working diligently at home for decades. Li Qinghong naturally does not want him to get involved in these things.
She just held the letter, not knowing how to answer. She was stunned for a while, then silently put the letter away, pursed her lips tightly, and then saw Li Chenghuai approaching in a hurry.
Li Chenghuai's cultivation has now reached the seventh level of Qi training. It stands to reason that he can try to break through the foundation building after taking the elixir, but he thinks he is not sure, so he delays it. After all, it is still early for him to be sixty years old, and he still has the time to wait. The thought behind those few pills.
He whispered:
"Sir, a monk came to visit me on the island. He is a monk from Beihai who practices thunder. He has a long sword on his waist and wears silver-feathered thunder clothes. His aura is quite scary."
"He calls himself... Beihai Xi Zikang!"
…
East China Sea.
Fenkuai Island is located in the north of Chijiao Island. It is vast and huge, with extremely strong fire veins. The immortal peak of Qingchi Sect is in the middle of Fenkuai Island. It was once guarded by Ningwan. Therefore, there are many kinds of pines and bamboos, the forest breeze is gentle, and it is extremely quiet.
Shi Tongyi was dressed in a red feathered coat, shining brightly. He flew through the sky like a fire phoenix, and landed lightly on the peak. After waiting for a moment, he saw a rainbow light bursting out from the peak, landing in front of him, and turning into a phoenix. A graceful man.
This man looks like a young man, riding a rainbow through the clouds. His face is like a crown of jade. His lines are soft and graceful, but he does not look too blunt. Instead, his eyes are powerful. He throws out the glow of his sleeves and stands still in front of him.
"I've met the Peak Master!"
Si Tongyi found that his rainbow came and went without a trace, which was hard to figure out. He was secretly shocked and guessed:
"Li Xizhi's cultivation has improved again! This escape light can't even be seen clearly by my pupil technique... The rainbow is between water, fire, sky and sun, and it is the time when the fruit of the falling cloud is manifested in the world. It is really amazing."
Li Xizhi nodded kindly. He is now in charge of the East China Sea and has just taken power. As he grows older, he naturally has dignity. With a slight raise of his hand, all the cups and bowls on the table are picked up, and the tea in the jade pot boils spontaneously.
This move does not require magic power, but relies on a little rainbow light to show his superb magic.
Si Tongyi guessed correctly that Li Xizhi's strength has improved again. One reason is that he has received rewards and taken precious medicines and pills, and his cultivation has become more complete. The other reason is the talisman [Colorful Clouds].
The few times this talisman showed its power were to dissolve other people's magic power when chasing and escaping. It is a talisman that can be constantly nurtured to maintain life and improve magic. Li Xizhi focused on practicing and learning magic in his early years, and his experience was not deep. Now that his cultivation has reached the peak, he began to nurture the immortal foundation, and it became more obvious.
Every time he nurtured the talisman of the immortal foundation, the power of the magic would spontaneously increase, whether it was escape method, body method, pupil method, magic method... Unexpectedly, all of them were improved at the same time!
This is much better than other cultivators who took out one by one to hone and take targeted spiritual medicine to improve... Not only did the escape method and body method that they were good at become more magical, but the attack and defense that they were not good at were also gradually up to the standard.
"What's more, this talisman is said to be the icing on the cake. The more complete and stable the aura is, the more powerful the position and authority one has, the more powerful the aura will be!"
At first, he felt that the increase in the aura was not great, and it only improved a little after nurturing for a long time. Now that he is guarding the East China Sea, the golden light of the aura in his body has become dozens of times brighter! So he gradually mastered the magic of his aura, and his strength naturally increased.
Si Tongyi sat beside him, his attitude became more respectful, and he said softly:
"This time we came to find the peak master, it's still the sect's business."
"Please speak."
Li Xizhi nodded slightly. Although he had just taken power, his methods and style of doing things were not like a cultivator who had been hiding in the sect for many years. Si Tongyi was familiar with him and said bluntly:
"Three days ago, Master Bu Zi appeared in the East China Sea and fought with the masters of Chijiao Island. I heard that even the one in retreat... Master Tan Yun showed up... Now it can be confirmed that this big monster has indeed succeeded in breaking through, and there are at least two masters on Chijiao Island."
He mentioned Chijiao Island in the name of Qingchi Sect, and the worry in his eyes was obviously directed at Chi Bu Zi. He said softly:
"According to everyone's speculation... Master Bu Zi was able to make Master Tian Wan suffer, most of him is already in the late stage of Zifu!"
He After saying this, the man silently observed Li Xizhi. He was indeed stunned for a moment, and sighed with a frown:
"Your Excellency is indeed worthy of being the treasure tree of the Chi family in the past. With such a speed of cultivation..."
"Yes."
Si Tongyi responded and lowered his head silently. Li Xizhi asked with concern:
"But your Excellency has any instructions... or any arrangements?"
Si Tongyi hesitated:
"My master has not appeared for a long time, and the clan uncle is very tolerant of the Chi family. Several people gradually gained confidence. Hearing that Master Bu Zi had appeared, the main hall on Qingchi Peak was filled with congratulations."
Li Xizhi smiled and said:
"Who are you congratulating?"
"Of course, congratulations to the master of the sect!"
Si Tongyi nodded gently, and then replied:
"Master Ning Hejing is also very happy... As for Taoist Fu Bo... there is no news."
The current sect master Chi Xuxiao is the eldest son of the Chi family's uncle lineage! Putting aside Chi Zhiyun who was in seclusion, the appearance of Chi Buzi now undoubtedly increased his authority beyond measure. As for Ning Hejing... he was overjoyed.
‘Chi Fubo should be worried...’
Li Xizhi poured the tea and asked:
“How are you going to deal with it, sir?”
Si Tongyi said softly:
“The clan uncle released Xia Yun and also exposed the matter of Ning Hede. He refused to admit all the disciples who complained and never received anyone else.”
Xia Yun and Ning Hede were Ning Hejing’s men. Although they were strong, they were not morally upright. One of them was in charge of Xieqi Peak and used inferior things as good ones, while the other embezzled money from Xian Gongsi. How could they fight against Si Yuanli? He had already planned to imprison one and interrogate the other these days. The original sharp edge had been directed at Ning Hejing’s Yuanxing Peak. He said that he was just sitting there doing nothing.
Now all the previous efforts have been wasted, Si Yuanli is even more silent, the Chi family has the support of Zifu, and it seems that the situation has been stabilized. Li Xizhi is not surprised, and nodded:
"My lord, you made a good move, but you have to play the whole game. Next, one of the East China Sea and the South China Sea will have to give up first."
"Yes."
Si Tongyi nodded, but still a little worried, and replied:
"But my lord is still a little worried about Master Bu Zi, and the sect is even more panicked. Most of them remain neutral, and even the Taoists close to my family have all returned to the main peak..."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Xizhi said softly:
"This will only make Ning Hejing more confident. With the real master above, no matter how much courage he has, he dare not touch you. But this man is self-willed and stubborn. He can't tolerate Chi Fubo and others still occupying most of the power."
"Chi Fubo's evil intentions must have been extinguished, and he will also give in... But the Chi family behind him is not much better than Ning Hejing. They will definitely not spit out what they have in their mouths. No matter what, they are all surnamed Chi, and they will still show their teeth when they are forced into a corner."
Si Tongyi nodded slightly and replied:
"Your Excellency thinks so too. He has already laid an ambush. I'm afraid I will have to wrong the Taoist later."
Li Xizhi understood that the Lingu family in Nanhai was deeply rooted. No matter how stubborn Ning Hejing was, he would not be stupid enough to attack the Lingu family. Nine times out of ten, it would fall on him. He smiled and nodded, and Shi Tongyi exchanged a few more pleasantries. Riding the wind and left.
Li Xizhi sat on the peak for a while, his face gradually calmed down, and with the help of his magic power, he flew to the bottom of the peak with the help of a large formation, and fell into the ears of the guards:
"Ask her to come up."
He waited for a few moments, and a woman floated over with amusement on her face. She was wearing a light green Taoist robe and had an outstanding appearance. She was Lingu Lanying from Lingu's family!
She sat down again and said softly:
"It's a good thing it came in time. Master Si attaches great importance to Xi Zhi!"
Li Xizhi lives in the East China Sea, and he actually knew about Chi Buzi earlier than the clan, let alone his neighbor Gu Lanying in front of him. She chuckled and replied:
"As expected, Master Yuanxiu didn't show up."
Master Yuan Xiu has not shown up yet. Earlier, the two of them thought that he might have been injured in the cave. Now looking at the situation, Si Yuanli was calm and acted decisively, knowing that it was probably Yuan Xiu who refused to show up. That’s all.
"Master Buzi is indeed alive. It seems that he really doesn't think much about Qingchi."
Neighbor Gulan responded, and both of them understood clearly.
Although Yuan Xiu was sure that Chi Buzi would leave Qingchi alone, it was difficult to guess Buzi's true thoughts, so he went into seclusion and pretended to be dead, leaving everything to Si Yuanli.
Once Bu Zi returns, or if he has any other thoughts, as long as the old master comes forward in time, he can just say that the junior has done it without permission... As long as it is not for the master Yuan Xiu himself to change the sect master, there will be no trouble between the two of them. Zifu's face went up.
Si Yuanli is a direct descendant of the Zi Mansion, so Yuan Xiu can be saved even if something happens to him. As for them...
‘As a party member, if things really change, we will naturally throw it out to calm the anger of the real person and clean up Zifu’s face. ’
Lingu Lanying didn't say anything, but she obviously had something in mind. She just said softly:
"Now Bu Zi is taking action in the East China Sea. On the one hand, it is a good medicine for the Chi family, but on the other hand...it also proves that he has been wandering in the East China Sea. Even if such a big thing happened in Qingchi, he still No questions asked?"
Li Xizhi nodded and said warmly:
"Zi Mansion always has a plan in mind when it comes to taking action. All we have to do is watch the struggle within the sect."
Neighbor Gu Lanying smiled and shook her head, and replied:
"Why do you need to think about it? Chi Zhiyun can see clearly that Ning Hejing has a domineering personality and can handle criminal law, but if he is allowed to be the leader of a faction, he will have to kick all the people who don't like him away! How can he do that? Can you beat Chi Fubo?"
She swallowed the name Li Yuanqin without saying it. When she saw the young man in front of her, she lowered her head to sip tea and said softly:
"Help me at the right time. After all, it is my duty to share the worries of the sect leader."
