Xuanjian Immortal Clan

Chapter 789 West Bank Blood Book (1+22)

Chen Yang's face was full of joy and he replied:

"Duxiandao withdrew overnight and disappeared. The entire wilderness was empty and deserted. No one came to stop them until they reached Shanji County in the east. It seems that the gates of Shanji and Xuanyue Mountains were occupied."

"Kong Guxi and others rejoiced and returned to the wilderness, leaving only two people to reorganize their forces. The rest followed Kong Guxi to the lake to congratulate and thank them, and waited outside the continent."

"good!"

Li Zhouluo stood up happily, and Chen Yang bowed to him with the same smile. The two of them looked really similar. Chen Yang only took out the jade box and replied:

"Family head, the two magical weapons are among them, and they are now returned to the family."

He first brought up the jade box, then took out a dark bead from his arms and said respectfully:

"Master of the family, the demon cultivators came to rob them a few days ago. The Kong family and I cooperated with Master Ding to ambush. Although the demon cultivators escaped by luck, we had an unexpected surprise."

"This is the magic weapon left behind by the demon cultivator. It was originally a magic weapon used for self-destruction. Unexpectedly, Master Kong sacrificed a spiritual mountain and narrowly suppressed it, and survived..."

He knelt down with great respect, raised his hands, placed the black bead in his palm, and replied:

"This object is called [Ni Shui Bead]. It is made of extremely pure Ni Shui Han Iron. Although the material is not powerful, the refining technique is extremely skillful. It is a magical weapon of Han Qi."

This is also extremely rare good news. Li Zhouluo nodded happily. The Li family had strict rules. Li Zhouluo could not check the items presented immediately. He only asked Di Liguang to pick up the bead and look at it. asked:

"I often heard that these demonic cultivators were in groups, but I didn't expect that Protector Ding would take action and let them run away. It seems that these demonic cultivators are not simple people. Did you notice anything?"

Chen Yang nodded repeatedly and replied:

"Master Mingjian, I took action together with Protector Ding, but found that these people were full of demonic energy on the surface, but all of them had pure cultivation underneath. I'm afraid they were not casual demon cultivators, but other orthodox cultivators pretending to be afraid of causing trouble. At that time Although there was a chance to encircle and kill him, we only forced out his magic weapon and spared his life. "

"These people are very powerful. They didn't try their best in the previous plunders, but they couldn't tell which sect they belonged to. Guardian Ding and I figured it out. They are probably overseas monks."

Li Zhouluo nodded slightly and looked at Di Liguang beside him. The Shanyue boy replied:

"Family Master, this magical weapon is indeed extremely pure, with no traces of blood sacrifice."

Li Zhouluo then said:

"This matter will be decided by the clan later, and the credit will be remembered by you. As for the retreat of the Immortal Dao, several Zifu people probably made a plan and discussed Shanji County to let it go... They have worked hard to protect the Dharma during this period. Several elders are If I want to see you, let the Kong family come up first.”

Chen Yuan bowed and retreated. Li Zhouluo waited for a while, and Kong Guxi hurriedly came in from outside the hall carrying his robe.

"I've met the head of the family!"

Kong Guxi's eyebrows are now raised very high, his eyes are bright and bright, and the wrinkles on his face have also relaxed. His old face seems to be a barometer of Xuanyue's fate, now showing an excited and high-spirited brightness, on the ground He knelt firmly and said respectfully:

"Du Xian has retreated! Congratulations, Master!"

Kong Guxi dared to be shameless. In the later stage of Tangtang's foundation building, when facing Li Zhouluo, he would kneel down even if he asked him to do so. Kong Qiuyan behind him had to kneel down. This woman had always lowered her head when meeting the Li family before. , his eyes were about to close, but now he raised his head straight and finally showed his gratitude.

Fuyuezi on the other side was kneeling like a stone statue, his eyes calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Li Zhouluo helped the sect master stand up and said with a smile:

"This is also a happy event for the sect leader. All the Xuanyue organizations in the wilderness are now under the control of the sect leader. The agreement between the two families from back then remains the same, and Xuanyue will not occupy half of the boundary lake."

Kong Guxi only agreed, but the Li family no longer wanted to take care of this stall. Li Zhouluo said warmly:

"Now that the opponent has retreated and the wilderness has returned to his hands, the hearts of the people really cannot be distracted anymore! The Xuanyue sign must be erected as soon as possible... The sect master should draw the boundary as soon as possible, recruit a new batch of disciples, and rebuild Xuanyue!"

After saying this, Kong Qiuyan, who was behind Kong Guxi, could not believe it. There was never a free lunch in the world. He had received such a great favor and left most of his Taoist possessions behind. Even if he sent away all the guests, he might not be able to escape the fence of Wangyue.

She thought that the freedom that she had to pay for without knowing how much she had to pay was actually placed in front of her, making her look at him in confusion and even shock.

Fuyuezi moved for the first time, and the face under the golden mask seemed to have a smile.

Only Kong Guxi knelt there blankly and didn't answer for a while.

This sentence was great news to the ears of the two of them, but it had a completely different meaning to Kong Guxi:

‘The agreement between your ancestor and the real person in my family, my family has been extremely benevolent and righteous, and helping here is enough. Now that the real person in my family is missing, how can we take care of so much? Leave the wilderness to your family to quickly rebuild the sect, and then it will be your Xuanyue family's business! ’

At present, the matter at the Xuanyue Mountain Gate is unknown, and the Immortal Dao is watching with eager eyes. The only assistant Yuezi in the Kong family is good at fighting. What can he do in the wilderness? It is undoubtedly extremely dangerous to establish a sect right now...

Looking at it from another perspective, there is nothing left for the Xuanyue Sect to exploit for the Li family. The mountain gate was completely lost, the Zifu spiritual weapons and supplies were dedicated to the Li family, and the Zifu formation was also lost, leaving only a "fool". The Li family may not be willing to ask for the Taoist tradition of Qianshan, some foundation-building medicine, magical tools, and supplies.

He could only say:

"The wilderness is currently in chaos and in shambles. It needs to be put in order before we can think about rebuilding the mountain gate."

Although Li Zhouluo was also waiting for news from Shanji County, his attitude was still firm and he replied:

"Master, you don't have to be polite. My family has no interest in Xuanyue Taoism. The wilderness will be handed over to your family. The resources stored in the mountains will also be returned to your family by Yu Tingwei. All subsequent arrangements will be handed over to your family." Give it to your family."

Kong Guxi looked embarrassed, uneasy, stubborn, and said with shame:

"Please give me some time, Master..."

Li Zhouluo nodded and whispered:

"Don't worry, Master, take good care of the wilderness. With the three mountains that Shanji moved here, Xuanyue's heritage is still there."

After listening to what was said before and after, Kong Guxi guessed that the Li family was not forcing him to establish a family immediately, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Li Zhouluo didn't want to talk to Kong Guxi, told him the matter, and politely persuaded him to leave. The two people behind him He was in a good mood and followed him out of the hall.

Li Zhouluo ordered people to inquire about Shanji County. Duxian who was pressing on his head left, and Xuanyue who was on his hands was also sent away immediately. He was in a happy mood and said with a smile:

"I heard that Xinghan just came back from the west. I have good news to tell her. Let her come up quickly!"

Di Liguang immediately went down, and not long after, he saw Li Xinghan entering the hall with a sword behind him and said respectfully:

"I've met the head of the family!"

"Sister, get up quickly!"

Li Xinghan had really just come back from the desert, and he heard the news that Duxian Dao had retreated. He was so happy that he congratulated Li Zhouluo, and when he saw his brother, he said:

"How about the other side of the desert?"

Li Xinghan knew that his brother probably already knew the situation, but he still wanted to hear from a member of his clan who was personally involved, so he sighed:

"There are many demonic cultivators. I heard Protector An say that there were not so many demonic cultivators in the desert in the past. But in recent years, there have been more and more demonic cultivators. After we exorcised all the demonic cultivators, that section of the city wall has completely collapsed, and we can no longer extract energy."

"Pity."

Most of the Li family's Mingyang Kung Fu relied on the ancient city wall to collect energy. Now that the Zi Mansion is gone, the source of energy collection is cut off, which is really troublesome. Li Zhouluo said regretfully:

"I also received a report saying that the stronghold in the desert is separated by Xiping Mountain. It is not easy to maintain. The family regards it as a hard job and the direct descendants don't like to go. Now that the city wall has collapsed, they all say that they should let it go."

Li Xinghan frowned and advised:

"Master, my family's Fang City has not been opened due to the entanglement with Duxian Dao. Ninety percent of the repairs have been completed and shelved in the dense forest. Although it is not suitable for opening now, it will be opened sooner or later. If the stronghold in the desert can be held and there will be more exchanges, it will be better for Fang City Very beneficial.”

"The words spoken at home are just words of concern for our children and grandchildren, so don't pay attention to them."

Li Zhouluo laughed and asked:

"I heard that you brought something for fifth brother, right?"

Li Xinghan was not surprised. She obtained the [White Falcon Gold] in an upright manner and used her own resources to supply the clan in exchange for it. Of course Li Zhouluo knew that, so he replied:

"Yes, I got seven taels of [White Falcon Gold] in the desert this time. I brought them to Fifth Brother. I sent someone to deliver them a long time ago."

Li Zhouluo shook his head and replied:

"If you send it over today, you won't know for sure which beauty will have the hairpin in a few months. You are not familiar with his character. In the past few years, you have asked me for various gold objects several times... He is not good at anything else. Chai Zi does have some skills."

Li Xinghan sighed when he heard this and replied:

"I also guessed that these are the uses. It's just that this is the first time he has spoken to me, and I am embarrassed to leave him alone. It is not an important thing anyway, so I should let him practice his skills."

Li Zhouluo, who has been in a good mood recently, shook his head with a smile, took out a black scroll with silver edges from the case, and replied:

"Not to mention this, I have some great news to tell you."

He smiled and said:

"A few days ago, the first few clan elders in the family were chatting, and you were mentioned again. The boss started talking about your magical weapon. The real person is not in the clan now, and the requirements for making swords are very high, so he thought of you. I inherited a sword from my family and used it.”

Li Xinghan was a person who loved swordsmanship. Hearing these words, he suddenly became excited and asked:

"Oh my god...I wonder which one it is?!"

Li Zhouluo took apart the scroll in his hand, slowly unfolded it, and said with a smile:

"It is three feet, nine inches long, weighs ninety-two pounds and twelve taels, is as bright as flowing water, and as clean as white frost..."

‘[Hanlin]! ’

Li Xinghan knew the dimensions of the magic sword at home by heart. Li Zhouluo read out the length and she guessed it. She was surprised and delighted, and said in astonishment:

"Why is it [Hanlin]..."

There are especially many people in the Li family who practice swordsmanship. [Hanlin] is known as the sword of Hanbi Dongxue and Sui Zhiqiu in the family. It is highly regarded. And because the former owner was Li Xijun, who was running the family, it has more majesty. Li Xijun had no heirs, so he stayed in the treasury...

The weight of this sword is unique among all the swords in the family. Except for the [Jiao Pan Ying] that is placed on Li Zhouluo's desk, which has a greater symbolic meaning than the sword itself, [Han Lin] is only in the [Qing Chi] 】 Just below.

Li Xinghan thought about Li Zhouluo getting a new sword and giving her [Xu Shi] or Li Chenghuai giving it to her instead of [Dark Sea Serpent]. He had never coveted [Han Lin], so he was stunned in place.

Li Zhouluo sighed deeply and replied:

"Uncle Xijun died, and the sword was put away by the old man. No one in Zhongmai is qualified to hold the sword, so the old man ignored all opinions and handed it to you first."

Li Xinghan took the scroll with both hands and nodded solemnly. Such precious things cannot be handed over, and she has to take the scroll with her own hands. Li Xinghan's eyes turned red and he replied:

"I want to thank you personally."

Li Xinghan is a member of Bomai. It would be objectionable for any elder of Bomai to point out [Hanlin] to Li Xinghan. Only Li Xuanxuan, the elder, is upright and blameless.

Li Zhouluo nodded and watched her go out. After handling affairs in the palace for most of the day, he was in a good mood and realized that he had not rested for several days. Sighing, I was finally willing to go out for a spin.

Just after he left the hall, he saw several uncles waiting in front of the hall from a distance, with bitter looks on their faces. He immediately stopped and frowned:

"whats the matter?"

Di Liguang shook his head.

Li Zhouluo has already experienced the power of these tribesmen these days. They are more shameless than the others when asking for qualifications and positions, but they are all elders. Seeing them all gathered together now, there must be nothing good going on. He said solemnly:

"Go to the side hall and don't see them."

He just turned around and saw Li Wen coming up with steady steps, bowed in front of the hall, and said respectfully:

"Master, the Yuting Guards have received news that a group of monks on Qingdu Mountain climbed up the mountain to report, and together they wrote a letter in blood, saying that the people in the four prefectures on the west bank are colluding and bullying the superiors and the inferiors. Please ask Qingdu for justice."

Li Zhouluo was suffocated when he heard this. The joy on his face suddenly faded away, and he replied with disbelief:

"What?! Four West Coast Prefectures?!"

He froze on the spot and whispered:

"Where is he now?"

Li Wen replied:

"We are all in Qingdu. Just as several elders were leaving seclusion, Master Chenghao was invited to come up. The matter was very big."

Although Li Chenghao is a mortal, he is also a son of the Zi family. Li Wen is loyal and still calls him "sir", but Li Zhouluo suddenly breaks out in a cold sweat. There are two peaks and one mountain in the sixteen mansions of the Li family, and there are four mansions on the west bank. To put it politely, there has never been such a big incident in Qingdu since the establishment of the Lijiafu Peak System, let alone the bloody writings of the monks on the West Bank! He gritted his teeth and said:

"No wonder a group of people stopped me in front of the palace..."

The names of two peaks and one mountain in the Sixteenth Prefecture were all in Li Zhouluo's mind, and the names immediately came to his mind:

"An Xuanxin, Ren Ting, Li Chengpan, Li Xun... those who went to Qingdu, not Yuting... then these two guys, Li Chengpan and Li Xun, are causing trouble..."

The West Bank is a small group of small families left by He Jiumen, scattered here and there. There has never been a voice of his own in the Li family. Among the various factions, the father is not close to the mother and does not love. However, it is rich in spiritual minerals. The peak has always been divided among the various factions. …

"An Xuanxin is a representative of the Huayu sect, Ren Ting's Ren family is a figure of the Lijing sect, and the remaining Li Chengpan is a direct descendant who was carried into Zhouli, and Li Xun is a branch... OK... we are all here!"

He closed his eyes and asked:

"I'm going to Qingdu right away... You should listen to this first. Is the evidence conclusive?"

Li Wengong said:

"pretty close."

"Qingdu and Yuting are both blind..."

Li Zhouluo felt that the news was like a bolt from the blue. He hurried over and listened to Li Wen's silly reply:

"Sir, the matter is complicated and I can't understand it. Please go to the peak to explain it in detail."

Li Wen was honest and loyal. It was this honesty that made Li Zhouluo embarrassed. He didn't even have a chance to slow down on the road and prepare in advance. He could only fly away and landed on the top of Qingdu Mountain after a while. Yes, there are people everywhere.

"The master of the house is here!"

Suddenly, there were shouts on the peak, and the hall at the highest point was already full of people. The old man Chen Donghe stood beside him, and An Siwei in white stood with his head bowed. The rest of the people sitting were all old people, some with some cultivation and some without. For, there are also those who are too old to look like, they are all sitting at the top.

Li Zhouluo glanced at them, and there were only a few that stood out.

The first person on the left is the real son, the old man Li Chenghao, who is so old that he is slumped in his chair and looks very weak. The person standing beside him, painted with makeup, is his fifth brother Li Zhouming.

Below is the old man Li Cheng. This is the uncle of the eldest and second brother Li Zhoufang. He has just made a breakthrough in Qi training and has a certain status in the family. He is young and strong, and his hair is only gray. He is staring at him.

On the other side is the older elder Li Xiyi, who is dressed in gray and has a serious face. This is Li Cheng's father, who now has a very high status in the clan. Below him is Li Xixi, who is very round and fair, and is his aunt. Li Minggong’s father…

'This is a big deal...'

Among the elders of the older generation, these four were the only ones who could speak. Li Zhouluo secretly sighed in his heart. Fortunately, Li Xuanxuan looked as usual, so he took a reassurance and accepted the chief seat under the welcome of everyone. I found a person kneeling on the ground.

This man seems to be a small family head in the West Bank, his surname is He. He is related to the He Jiumen in those days, so he should be the leader, but he does not have the right to speak here. Chen Donghe has already sent the books and silk.

The first item in the entry accuses Li Chengpan and others of secretly receiving bribes of up to 30% when collecting spiritual rice and mineral mines.

This thing is not unusual. It happens in all the peaks. Yutingwei is distributed throughout Huzhou, and at most they supervise the collection at the end of each year. After being caught several times, these people will steal the collection on weekdays, up to 10% and a half. Not as arrogant as Li Chengpan.

"The West Bank also has no background... and has no choice but to be at the mercy of others."

Li Zhouluo jumped over it at a glance, but the next one was much more serious. It was that the He family accused Ren Ting of bullying men and women, abusing his power, etc., and making the He family women as concubines.

The last one is that the mineral veins on the west bank are intertwined and mixed. It is difficult to find out. There are often new and changing branches, which frequently change every month. An Xuanxin and others colluded up and down to secrete some minerals... These things are sent to the east bank. Someone went to dig it up, and it was recorded by someone who was interested.

After reading it, he put down the letter in his hand, feeling uncertain:

'These four people...the entanglement is too deep...'

Before he opened his mouth, Li Xiyuan, who was round and fair, whispered:

"Master of the family! Yuting has already investigated Ren Ting's matter. He sent the He family girl there himself, and now he is raking it over... Those engagement contracts and letters have been taken over, and this man's flattering face is still on them. They can be taken out for confrontation. !”

Li Zhouluo looked at the stack of letters sent and was silent for a moment. Ren was from the Li Jing faction and was a member of Bo Mai. Li Xixi's wife and Li Minggong's mother was named Ren, and Ren Ting was also Li Minggong's relative. uncle…

The rest of the people did not speak, obviously they were all confident. Waiting for him to finish processing the letter, Li Zhouluo could only bite the bullet and ask the head of the He family who was kneeling below. The old man only said sadly:

"You are both an immortal and an official above. With just one look, how can you not be flattering?"

Li Zhouluo was blocked by his words. Li Chenghao hesitated for a moment. The fifth brother Li Zhouming smiled and said:

"Master, there is something fishy about the Anxuanxin mineral vein. All the records have been obtained from Yuting, and these minerals have been sent to the continent."

Li Zhouluo finally managed to interrupt, frowning and saying:

"Why don't you go to the continent?"

Li Zhouming said hurriedly:

"We were fighting against Duxian at the time. There was no reply from Zhouzhong for several days. The mineral vein was about to change and disappear. An Xuan was worried that this thing would be wasted. After the mining, there were other letters, which were reviewed at home at that time."

Li Zhouluo did reply to these things, but this kind of reporting occurs every year. How many small branch reports appear in the records are there, how can it be verified? Before he could answer, Li Cheng spoke with an unhappy face and said:

"I personally brought Li Chengpan out! Who in the family doesn't know his character? It's impossible to do these things!"

This is the uncle of the eldest and second brother Li Zhoufang. Li Zhouluo was already a little numb now and replied:

"There is evidence for everything, how can it be impossible to end it?"

Only Li Cheng's father, the elder Li Xiye in gray clothes, did not speak.

Now that the brothers had finished speaking, they all looked at the old man's face. Li Xiwei coughed and said in a low voice:

"Please also ask the owner of the family for a clear warning."

“…”

The group of clan elders watched over together. Li Zhouluo took the letter in his hand and looked at it, feeling angry in his heart:

‘Father has already retreated, otherwise he would have to get a talisman pen to let these people test it! ’

Li Chenghao and Li Zhouming were of the Zifu bloodline, so naturally they couldn't be tested clearly. Li Xixi was probably too embarrassed, so there was no need to test them. Li Zhouluo didn't need to worry about the words of these clan elders, he just ordered:

"Bring the four of you up."

A voice of "yes" came from far below, and the four people entered the hall and knelt down one by one. Li Chengpan knelt at the front. This was Li Zhouluo's clan uncle. He had a decent appearance and kept his head down without speaking.

The most distinguished among the next three people was An Xuanxin. This young man dealt with it very fluently. It seemed that every mineral vein in his mouth had been reported, and he could even pinpoint the specific day.

Li Zhouluo asked a few questions, but the four people either remained silent or insisted. The atmosphere finally became awkward. Several elders were silent and listened carefully to Li Zhouluo's inquiry.

Li Zhouming, who was looking around while watching the show, seemed to be waking up from a dream. He noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. He stood up straight, looked at the faces of everyone one by one, and murmured in his heart:

"This is not to embarrass fourth brother...what are these elders doing..."
