The Name of Eternity

"Are you Xiao Hao?"

In addition to Li Qianfeng, among the three generations standing outside the hall, there are also He Jianlan's children.

Li Mingguang and Li Sibei are now about 35 years old.

In terms of age, they are much older than Li Hao and others, almost twice as old.

Both of them have been in the army for a long time, and now they are generals in the army with extremely high cultivation. Li Mingguang has just entered the first stage of the Three Immortals, and his sister Li Sibei has also entered the Heavenly Man Realm for many years.

In terms of cultivation, both of them are the top three generations of the Li family, and they are far ahead of others.

The same is true for meritorious service.

After all, age is here.

But He Jianlan said in his early years that his children would not compete for the seat of the True Dragon.

This statement is public, so it naturally has great binding force.

However, even if they want to compete, among the same age group, Li Mingguang only entered the Fifteen Mile Realm at the age of eighteen.

He entered the Heavenly Man Realm at the age of twenty-five.

Now ten years have passed, and he has entered the Three Immortals. Such progress is already extraordinary!

However, compared with Li Qianfeng and Li Hao, he is much inferior to them of the same age.

At this moment, Li Mingguang looked at Li Hao with a smile on his face.

He had heard this name before returning to Qingzhou. He had high expectations for this cousin whom he had never met.

Such a brilliant talent has surpassed Uncle Jiu in those days.

He and his sister Li Sibei were born early, and grew up with Uncle Jiu when they were children. To be honest, he is older than Uncle Jiu!

However.

The seniority is there. When he sees Uncle Jiu, who is two years younger than him, he still has to bow his head and call him uncle respectfully and politely.

In addition to the strict rules of the Li family, he is also willing to call him uncle. After all, Uncle Jiu, who played and practiced together when he was a child, later set foot on the practice and became a world away from the crowd.

Every year, he shocks everyone in the courtyard, like a bright meteor.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents.

Fourteen years ago, when Uncle Jiu died, he also drank a pot of wine in the army at the distant border.

Drinking in the army is a taboo, but he still drank.

After drinking, he took the initiative to accept the punishment and was awarded 100 military whips, which made his skin and flesh torn and bloody.

But he didn't frown at the time, but smiled.

But later when he returned to his tent, he cried and couldn't make a sound.

"Cousin."

Li Hao nodded and greeted Li Mingguang.

"Even I can't see through your cultivation. You kid, it seems that you have practiced the art of concealing your breath." Li Mingguang smiled.

Li Hao smiled slightly.

Li Mingguang looked at Li Qianfeng next to him. Compared with Li Hao's breeze, Li Qianfeng was like a half-inch sword out of the sheath. Although restrained, it has revealed a cold edge, and the breath is even deeper and more majestic, far exceeding the ordinary fifteen-mile realm.

Seeing that both of his cousins ​​were so promising, Li Mingguang's eyes showed a look of relief:

"I and your eldest sister will not participate in this fight for the real dragon. In terms of qualifications, we are not as good as you. We will rely on you in the future."

Li Qianfeng nodded slightly: "Don't worry, cousin."

Li Hao glanced at him and thought that this cousin's personality was somewhat similar to that of his aunt.

Apart from his talent, his elder brother's demeanor made him suitable for being the head of the family in Li Hao's opinion.

"However, you can fight for it, but don't make enemies and secretly hold a grudge in your heart."

Next to him, cousin Li Sibei warned.

She and her brother took off their armor and changed into brocade clothes, but they fought in the army for many years, and their postures were upright. They looked more heroic than ordinary women.

"That's what my cousin said."

Li Hao smiled and nodded.

Li Qianfeng nodded, his expression calm.

Seeing the two people's attitude, Li Sibei smiled slightly, looked past the two people, and nodded slightly to Li Wushuang and others. At this moment, it was inconvenient to say more outside the hall, so there was no reminiscence.

Not long after, the fathers in the hall paid respect to the grandmother and called Li Hao and other three generations of the Li family in.

Led by Li Mingguang, everyone followed one after another. After entering the hall, they saw the grandmother Chen Hefang sitting at the top of the hall, and the other fathers and the ladies of each courtyard sat on both sides, and the other concubines stood obediently behind the ladies of each courtyard.

Li Mingguang was a sturdy and broad man. He knelt down when he walked into the hall.

The others followed closely and all knelt down to worship.

"Get up." Chen Hefang said with a smile.

Everyone stood up, and Li Hao looked up at this dear grandmother. The other party's hair was white and combed neatly like silver silk. She looked old. Her skin had wrinkles, but there were no age spots. Her skin was ruddy. She looked like an extremely clean old lady.

And although she is old, it can be seen that she was a very beautiful woman when she was young. Although she is old, she still has beautiful bones.

When Li Hao was looking at them, Chen Hefang was also looking at these grandchildren.

She was most familiar with Li Mingguang. She had held him when she was a child and often came to Qinglian Courtyard to play with Jun Ye.

However, since the eldest and the third brother died in battle, followed by Xiaojiu and Xiaoliu, she turned white overnight and handed over all the affairs of the mansion to the eldest daughter-in-law He Jianlan.

She went to Wangyou Mountain to eat vegetarian food and pray for blessings, hoping that Xiaojiu's heroic spirit would return soon.

Thinking of Xiaoliu and Xiaojiu, Chen Hefang's eyes became more sad.

In these years, she dreamed of them running towards her countless times at night, as cheerful as when she was a child, with high spirits, calling mother, mother...

The two children were too miserable. One was left with only one son, and the other was not married yet.

She has been practicing hard since she was young, and she has not seen the prosperity of the world, and she was buried in the frontier.

"Mingguang, come here, let grandma see you."

Chen Hefang's emotions were not revealed, and she put them away, smiling.

Li Mingguang looked at the white hair of this grandma, and his eyes were full of heartache. He walked forward and bent the spine that was straight outside.

"Don't be greedy and reckless at the border. My Li family is no lack of merit and glory."

Chen Hefang gently stroked the shoulder of the eldest grandson and said softly: "Grandma just hopes that you can all live well."

After saying this, many ladies had tears in their eyes.

Jiang Xian'er, who was sitting at the end, had moist eyes and turned her head slightly.

These young men are still here, but how many of those young men back then have returned?

Those high-spirited young men are the fathers of these children today, and also their husbands.

Li Mingguang's heart trembled, and he nodded vigorously: "Grandson will remember it."

Chen Hefang's eyes were gentle, and she called Li Sibei to her side, carefully looking at the little girl who used to be. Now she is heroic. It is said that daughters look like their fathers, and her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of the eldest son Li Xingbei.

The more Chen Hefang looked, the more she liked her, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Then, she looked at the other grandchildren, and her eyes swept over them. They were all young cheeks, which had begun to show their strength and youthful spirit.

Although it was the first time they met, many familiar shadows could be seen from them.

"Which one is Hao'er?"

Chen Hefang said softly.

Li Hao was slightly startled, and took a small step: "Grandson is, meet grandma."

Chen Hefang looked up and down, waved gently, and said with a smile: "Come here to show grandma."

Under the eyes of the audience, Li Hao obediently stepped forward and came to Chen Hefang.

Chen Hefang looked at Li Hao carefully, and suddenly sighed and said, "You look like your mother!"

Li Hao's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"This is our first meeting, and grandma doesn't have anything to give you. I heard that you like to use swords, so grandma will give you one."

Chen Hefang said, calling the servant beside him and bringing a sword box.

Seeing the appearance of the sword box, Li Tiangang couldn't help but stand up and said, "Mother, this, this was my ninth brother's..."

Jiang Xian'er also stared slightly.

"Yes, it's the sword that your ninth brother used, Yongye!"

Chen Hefang stroked the sword box with her palm, looked at Li Hao with loving eyes, and said, "This sword is one of the ten famous swords in the world. I heard that you also use swords, so I gave it to you. Don't let the famous sword be covered in dust."

Li Hao's heart was shocked. Among the ten famous swords in the world, this is a sword that can kill the four-level monster, and it is extremely sharp.

And this sword has extremely special power, but it needs to reach the corresponding realm to be able to play it.

At present, in his hand, it can only kill souls and exorcise evil spirits, and it is also sharp.

But it is enough.

"Thank you, grandma." Li Hao took it and said softly.

Although he said it softly, Chen Hefang could hear the solemnity in the child's words and couldn't help but smile.

The others were silent. This sword has been sealed for many years, but now it is handed over to Li Hao, which shows that the mother loves this grandson who she met for the first time.

However, it is probably because Chen Hefang saw the shadow of Li Junye in Li Hao.

They are all so dazzling and bright.

In the crowd, Li Qianfeng's eyes darkened for a while and he didn't speak.

Liu Yuerong smiled, but the smile seemed a little forced, but at this moment everyone's eyes were on Li Hao and the black sword box, and no one paid attention to her.

After handing the sword box to Li Hao, Chen Hefang also called Li Qianfeng to come forward.

She said softly: "I heard that you practiced in Wuliang Mountain. I have three precious Buddhist scriptures here, so I will give them to you."

Li Qianfeng's face looked a little unnatural.

Give Li Hao a famous sword, and give Buddhist scriptures yourself?

But he didn't dare to show it, and still bowed his head and said: "Thank you, grandma."

Chen Hefang smiled and said: "There is a top Buddhist skill in this Buddhist scripture, the Great Compassion Hand. If you can master it, not only will the power of this palm technique itself be improved, but it will also help your future sword practice."

Li Qianfeng was stunned and couldn't help showing joy: "Thank you, grandma!"

Chen Hefang waved his hand and asked him and Li Hao to step aside, and then called other grandchildren to give some gifts one after another. Although there were differences in these gifts, they were not big.

When the meeting was over, everyone also dispersed from Qinglian Courtyard.

It was just that Chen Hefang stopped He Jianlan and several other ladies, as if to ask about the situation in the mansion over the years. At the same time, he also asked Liu Yuerong to notify the Bodhisattva of the Four Li Realms who came down from Wuliang Mountain and lived in the mansion to come and meet him.

…

…

Time passed in a flash.

After the old lady left the mountain, Qingzhou City became more and more lively.

Soon, the day of the real dragon's decision arrived.

Outside the gate of the God General's Mansion, the streets were crowded, and a large number of carriages drove in, all of which were dignitaries. Many civil officials and military generals came from all over the 19 states to congratulate.

Such a grand event happened once more than ten years ago, and it is just as lively now.

The threshold of the God General's Mansion was about to be trampled.

The relatives of the Liu family arrived one after another.

In the outer states, the Liu family is also a large local family. In the past few years, Liu Yuerong married into the God General's Mansion. The Liu family naturally took advantage of the Li family and developed more rapidly, and their official positions in the court were also promoted.

Most of the Liu family members are civil servants, and their ancestors have several top scholars who served as officials in the court.

In addition to the many civil and military officials of the Liu family, there were also other earls and marquises who came to visit to support Li Qianfeng and show their connections.

In addition, people from the other four divine generals' palaces also came, but they just came to visit and did not take sides. It seemed that they just came to see what kind of strength the real dragon of the Li family had.

The noise outside the courtyard continued.

In the courtyard, Li Hao moved the old chair and basked in the sun comfortably.

Not long after, Bian Ruxue ran back to the courtyard, followed by a series of footsteps.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the poetry collection that was drooping on his face to block the sun, and looked sideways, but saw a familiar face.

The white beard and hair, the steel bones like a sword, walking in front of Bian Ruxue, was actually the sword saint, Jian Wudao.
