That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 294 Uncertainty is the human heart (1)

  Su Yi was very angry. She was not only angry with the two elders of the Li family, but also the ancestor of the Dong family, which made her feel deeply incredible.

  However, Gu Qingci felt that he could understand.

Dong Tianfang, the ancestor of the Dong family, Gu Qingci has also heard about it, the seniority of the Jianghu is higher than that of Chen Tongxuan. When Chen Tongxuan was wandering in the Jianghu, the ancestor of the Dong family was already a famous master. Know how many years he lived.

Dong Tianfang is a very powerful person. He already existed in the era when the Three Immortals ruled the world, but he was extremely low-key, and almost no one knew about him. Until that generation of strong men retired or stopped walking like Mr. After the rivers and lakes, he appeared in the rivers and lakes and became a blockbuster, bringing the Dong family's reputation to a peak.

However, searching all kinds of records in Jianghu, except that Dong Tianfang once cooperated with another master of the Dong family to fight Chen Tongxuan, there is no one who he fought against, but even so, he is still a master. He is also a person at the peak level of the Jianghu, and he always appears from time to time, so that the Dong family has always stood at the pinnacle of the Jianghu.

As for Li Pingyang's saying that the ancestor of the Dong family practiced the kind of martial arts that required a furnace, Gu Qingci heard from Mr. Wuque that hundreds of years ago, the Dong family was created by a great practitioner of Huanxi Zen, and possessed that kind of dual cultivation skills. Fa is not something that is not understood. After all, many years ago, Huanxi Zen was also the most powerful sect in the world, but it just fell down later.

As for the fact that the ancestors of the Dong family didn't even let go of their own daughters, this is actually the same as the two elders of the Li family who sent Li Dongwu to the Dong family. It is impossible to say that it is not disgusting, but it is also Not a big deal legend.

It's just that Qixiufang is a commercial sect with a very good reputation all the time, and Su Yi's identity also determines that she can't see the dark side, so she can't understand, but Li Pingyang is an old man after all. Although things are not commonplace, but dark things must have been seen a lot.

   Therefore, he didn't know how to explain Su Yi's question.

Gu Qingci shook his head and sighed: "Su Yi, the human heart is the most difficult thing to grasp. However, I have some doubts. As far as I know, breakthroughs by great practitioners can indeed prolong life to a certain extent, but that requires It’s all about self-awareness and accumulation, right?”

   "Yes," Su Yi nodded and said: "I have seen many seniors in Qixiufang wait for many years to break through. It is not considered to be rejuvenated overnight, but there are many people who are much younger."

  Gu Qingci raised his eyebrows and said, "Then do you think the Dong family has a way to help the two elders of the Li family to break through forcibly and increase their lifespan?"

   "This..." Tsing Yi shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult, at least I don't have Qixiufang, otherwise there won't be so many seniors who have been slow to break through."

  Li Pingyang heard the conversation between the two, and was a little surprised: "Don't great practitioners prolong their lives just by breaking through?"

Gu Qingci glanced at Li Pingyang, a little helpless, this is the problem of the background, in the consciousness of the people of the Li family, as long as they break through, they can prolong their lives, and it is impossible for a sect like Qixiufang to force a breakthrough, but they would rather Wait ten or twenty years, instead of relying on external forces to break through.

Gu Qingci is lucky. He has the guidance of Mr. Wu Que. He can avoid many detours on the road of practice. He knows more things than Li Pingyang. Hearing what Li Pingyang said, he explained: "This is because you think too much. A warrior breaks through. It’s just a foundation and perception, and breaking through with external force is tantamount to plucking seedlings to encourage them to grow. This is a state obtained by consuming one’s own potential and energy, not only is it impossible to prolong one’s life, but on the contrary, it consumes one’s lifespan.”

   "What?" Li Pingyang asked in surprise, "Then, didn't the Dong family deceive the two Supreme Elders?"

Gu Qingci glanced at Li Pingyang and said: "What is cheating? I'm afraid they just promised to help those two old guys from your family break through, but they didn't say they would help them prolong their lives. Moreover, you two old fellows from the Li family are really shameful. I have been working for decades, but I don’t even understand the most basic cycle of heaven, and everything has its own destiny.”

   Just as a few people were talking, when they reached the door, there was a commotion outside, and then the door was kicked open.

  Two old men with white hair and childlike faces blocked the door with a group of warriors. Seeing Li Pingyang and Su Yi caressing Li Dongwu, one of the old men angrily said, "Li Pingyang, what are you doing?"

When Li Pingyang saw the two old men, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. He looked at Su Yi and Gu Qingci, and with some confidence in his heart, he said, "Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, can't you see what I am doing? My daughter is leaving!"

  The two old men are also the two great practitioners of the Li family, one is Li Pingyang's third uncle Li Cur, and the other is Li Pingyang's fourth uncle Li Gan.

Li Cur seems to be a rather gloomy person, but Li Gan can tell at a glance that he is the kind with a very hot temper, pointing at Li Pingyang and yelling: "Li Pingyang, are you going to betray the Li family? Do you, the patriarch, still think about it?" When?"

"Betrayal," Li Pingyang said with a sneer, "When did you treat me, Li Pingyang, as the Li family? For your own selfishness, you persecuted my daughter to this point, and returned the patriarch. Over the years, I have had the slightest bit of power. Are you two puppets?"

Li Cur is not as impatient as Li Gan, looked at Su Yi and Gu Qingci, looked at Li Pingyang, and said calmly: "Pingyang, what's the matter, let's talk privately, there are guests here, don't lose the face of the Li family .”

   "There is nothing you can't say," Li Pingyang said in a deep voice, "You are greedy for life and afraid of death. If you do this kind of thing, don't be afraid of what others will say."

   Li Gan said angrily: "Li Pingyang, don't you understand why we do these things? We are all the Li family. You said that we are greedy for life and afraid of death. If we really die, the Li family will be finished. You..."

Li Qian was talking, but was interrupted by Li Cur, and then cupped his hands towards Gu Qingci and Su Yi, and said: "I think the two are Mr. Gu and Miss Su Yi. This matter is my Li family's business. Don't meddle."

Li Pingyang looked up at Gu Qingci, with a trace of fear and pleading in his eyes. He was afraid because the matter had come to this point, and he was already in ruins. If Gu Qingci and Su Yi didn't care, both father and daughter would be finished. Waiting for the people from Qixiufang to come, all the effort was wasted, and I completely lost hope.

Gu Qingci smiled at Li Pingyang, reassuring him, then looked at the two old fellows of the Li family, and said lightly: "Get out of the way, I want to take someone away, you can't stop me, it's not that I dare not kill you , I just want you to see how wrong you are, you are not saving the Li family, but destroying the Li family!"
