Family cultivation: I will create a family of sword immortals

The two of them observed the fruit trees for a long time. Li Yang did not pick the fruits immediately. Instead, he planned to wait for the fruits to mature before picking them. After searching several directions around, Li Yang took out the array plate and laid a line around the green scale fruit tree. When ordinary people pass by the maze, they will enter a situation like a ghost beating a wall, unable to predict the final direction. As for the monks, once they step into it, Li Yang will notice it and rush over immediately.

At the same time, he found a dim bead on the body of the snake demon. It was a low-level magic weapon called the Breath Condensation Bead. It could restrain one's own breath and was generally suitable for casual cultivators who were sneaking around to hunt for treasure.

It was an unexpected gain. Li Yang was very happy and put it directly into his storage bag.

Not long after, Li Chengtian climbed up from the mountain with about 30 people. When they saw the huge snake corpse lying in front of them, they were all frightened. Fortunately, the long insect was dead.

When I heard Li Chengping's description on the way, I thought it was boasting the truth, but I didn't expect that what Li Chengping said was too conservative.

This long insect is still too terrifying in appearance. Its huge body, even if it is dead, still has a strong intimidating effect. Timid people do not even dare to get close, for fear that this cunning beast will suddenly get up and wreak havoc. Attacking everyone.

"I heard my eldest father say that when he was young, a man in the village went into the mountains and was eaten by a big snake. However, he later went into the mountains and couldn't find anyone to eat. In the end, he could only think that it was eaten by wild beasts in the mountains. After all, they can eat people alive. How big are the long worms? Today is an eye-opener." A middle-aged hunter said that his family has been hunting in the mountains for generations, and there are many interesting stories in the mountains.

Being a brave man, he approached the huge head of the snake demon, stretched out his hand to touch it a few times, and found that there was a cold breath coming from the scales on it. He was amazed and said: "This thing, let alone a bow and arrow, is mine. The hunting knife in it can’t cut through it, so I’m just lucky that I haven’t seen it in so many years, otherwise my Han family would be extinct.”

He did not forget to ask Li Chengping: "Young Master, how on earth did this long insect die? The incision is so smooth, how sharp is this weapon? It can only break hair by blowing it, or cut iron like clay."

On the way, Li Chengping mentioned very little about killing monsters. He only said that Li Yang killed a big snake monster in the mountains, as strong as a bucket, and asked everyone to go and carry the monster back.

Now that everyone heard that the hunter surnamed Han asked, they couldn't help but pricked up their ears, intending to hear the truth so that they could have something to talk about when they went back.

Li Chengping was about to decide whether to speak when he saw Li Yang and Li Shixian coming down from the mountain.

"How else could he die? He chopped off that beast's head with a sword." Li Shixian said proudly.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses and called out to the head of the family and the ancestors of the Li family.

In fact, many people are of the same generation as Li Shixian, or even older. However, the Li family is now prosperous, and with the new rules, everyone has no choice but to call Li Shixian "ancestor" when they see him on weekdays.

After listening to Li Shixian's words, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed. In their eyes, Li Yang became taller and taller, like a god. It meant that he had been with him for a long time, otherwise a group of people might kneel down and worship him.

This wound is indeed a masterpiece of one-size-fits-all, and it is very smooth. People usually say that the master of the house is an immortal, and they only see it flying around in the sky from time to time. Now, it can be regarded as a real eye-opener, and I see the master of the house taking action.

Such a big snake demon can be defeated with one sword. He is truly a swordsman!

Li Changji was also among the people following him. Although he had become the latest heir to the patriarch of the Li family these days, whenever there was anything about the "Taoxi Li Family", his father Li Shijin would rush over. They all show their faces in front of the two cousins, so that they can have a good relationship.

As long as you join the small sect or branch of the Li family in Taoxi, your family's incense will be stable from now on.

Looking at his cousin whom he looked down upon when he was young, Li Changji felt mixed emotions in his heart, but he couldn't help but clap along with his hands.

Li Yang was not proud of everyone's boast, but it was more like a matter of course. He said calmly: "Okay, you go and chop some wood around, make a frame to carry it back to the town, and put the snake monster away." The scales are removed, and the remaining snake meat will be invited to everyone in the town for dinner tonight. The snake demon's flesh and blood are greatly replenished, and it cannot prolong life, but it can strengthen the body and bones, nourish yin and strengthen yang."

When they heard that Li Yang was going to reward the whole town with this great gift, everyone burst into cheers. Someone even shouted "Long live the head of the family".

Li Yang laughed dumbly. Normally, kindness and power go hand in hand. Naturally, some people remember the good things and some people remember the bad things. The most effective way to win people's hearts is to reward them. Only in this way can we unite people's hearts.

This is a skill that Li Yang learned from watching a large family of cultivators when he was doing sect tasks.

The mortals under their control are the private property of the Immortal Cultivation Family. They can be regarded as cattle and horses instead of human beings and can be driven at will. Mortals who are afraid of the methods of immortals naturally dare not say anything. This kind of management method is mostly used by families. ; Others, like the Li family, distribute fields, govern the people, and recognize the family from the bottom of their hearts.

There are pros and cons to both, it just depends on how you do it.

"The snake demon ate the Green Scale Fruit, and there is still some medicinal power left in the flesh and blood. Although it is not as effective as eating it directly, it can still effectively improve the purity of the bloodline. In a year or two, among the children born, there should be There are a lot of spiritual skills." Li Yang whispered to Li Shixian.

The old man nodded and said: "That's fine, as the number of monks increases, the strength of the family will also increase. As long as the Li family has the Sword Immortal in charge, it will not be able to turn over the storm."

While the two were talking, the young men brought by Li Chengping were already busy cutting down trees and building a large frame that could lift the snake demon.

They were all villagers, so doing these carpentry jobs was no longer a problem. Two hours later, everyone had set up a shelf and tied the snake corpse to the simple shelf. The huge snake head was tied up by Li Chengping and Li Chengping. Zhang Changhe and the two monks lifted up, and the group went down the mountain in a mighty manner.

When they arrived not far from the town, they had already attracted crowds of people in the town.

Li Yang ordered the butchers to remove the snake scales and find some things suitable for trading. The rest of the snake meat was processed by everyone, leaving most of it in Taoxi Town, and the other four villages also received a lot. .

So in the open space of Taoxi Town, hundreds of large iron pots were set up to kill chickens and sheep, which was very lively.

Throughout the night, the five villages in Taoxi were immersed in joy, drinking and feasting, enjoying the gift of the head of the family.

Li Shuguan, the old man of the Li family, made a rare appearance. After the banquet, he found Li Yang. The place where the two met was very interesting. In the original ancestral hall of the Li family, there were only two people in the hall, as well as all the generations of the Li family. ancestral tablets.

This ancestral temple, which has witnessed the ups and downs of the Li family for more than two hundred years, was a bit sad to meet today, because it should have been more shining, but its status was embarrassed by the newly established Li family's ancestral hall.

"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for many years, right?" Li Shuguan went straight to the first seat next to the memorial tablet and sat down, without asking Li Yang to sit down. Li Yang sat down naturally.

Li Yang smiled and said: "It has indeed been more than twenty years. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it."

Although he said it as a joke, there was a lot of resentment in Li Yang's words.

Because I remembered that when I was a child, the children of the host family had new clothes to wear during every new year and festival. However, I and my brother Li Xuan only had one or two new clothes to wear after Li Shixian searched. There is a new outfit, and it even has to be something that the older sister can't fit into, so the younger sister wears it next.

This made Li Yang resentful of his master's family since he was a child.

Li Shuguan naturally had nothing to say about this bad debt in the old calendar. After all, he had acquiesced in it, which led to this incident. Moreover, this kind of downgrading of a large sect to a branch only started after he became the head of the family. After all, the main The annual dividends enjoyed by Pui are so generous that they naturally do not support idle people. Over the past few decades, many members of the clan have been demoted to branch status, which is actually not surprising.

It's just that this time there happened to be a very dramatic reversal. The Li family completely established itself on its own, giving the main family a slap in the face.

Li Shuguan sighed helplessly, "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the annual dividends were so small. If the main line draws a large amount of dividends every year, it will arouse the resentment of the people below and cause other people's displeasure. Over time, the large and small sects will be divided. The relationship between them cannot be bridged, and with people's hearts distracted, the Li family will only be cannibalized by other families."

Li Yang nodded and said: "I deeply agree with this, but since I made this choice in the first place, I have to accept the result."

Li Yang mistakenly thought that Li Shuguan still wanted him to return to his master's family, so he had made his attitude very clear.

At first, everyone from the Li family came to the door in turn, and he was still worried about how he should refuse if Li Shuguan came to persuade him. Unexpectedly, Zhou You sent a big gift, which perfectly helped him solve the problem.

Li Yang, who has become the leader of five villages, does not need to be afraid of those moral constraints.

"What do you think about the clan?" Li Shuguan asked the question slowly after a long time.

Li Yang paused and prepared his words before replying: "In fact, whether it is a clan or a sect, they rely on rules to integrate everyone and all resources. However, compared to a sect, it is more complicated within a clan." Unite more, after all, we are all of the same bloodline, and the internal conflicts within the sect are complicated, and the major mountains are competing with each other."

After hearing Li Yang's answer, Li Shuguan said in surprise: "I didn't expect the clan to have such a high reputation?"

Speaking of this, Li Yang thought of a wonderful person he met in Huangji Daozong. He only met him briefly, but learned a lot of novel ideas from that person, but he disappeared quickly.

Even if Li Yang later asked his master if there was such an elder in the sect, the answer he got was no.

It's just that it might be a certain Nascent Soul Ancestor playing in the human world to tease his new disciple.

"In general, sects and clans are just an organizational form. Just like people in a boat, the more people there are, the bigger the boat will be. If they work together, the boat will be more stable and faster. Otherwise, it will sink or sink. Lost in the vast ocean." Li Yang thought for a moment and said the insights he had obtained word for word.

In fact, every family is like this. In the early days, the first and second generations worked together and developed rapidly. However, in the next few generations, without a wise king at the helm, there will be internal fighting, greed for pleasure and unwillingness to contribute. The final result is the ruin of the family.

Li Shuguan stood up holding the faucet stick and said to Li Yang: "Then are you willing to let more people on the Taoxi Li family's boat use force? Or a group of people who are willing to be stepped on under the soles of their feet. Ship plank.”

Li Yang was shocked, because Li Shuguan's words did not mean that he should return to the Li family in Huaihuang, but that they should join the Li family in Taoxi. There was an essential difference between this matter.

This means that the original Huaihuang Li family has been completely integrated into the Taoxi Li family and no longer has the name Huaihuang Hall!

"This..." This was far beyond Li Yang's expectation, and he was a little stunned for a moment.

Li Shuguan said: "After so many years, the Li family should indeed change. Now you have three spiritual orifices in the Li family, and none of the main lineage of the main family has emerged yet. Others have appeared one after another. The Li family has spiritual orifices. The road ahead will be very difficult. It is better to merge into the Taoxi lineage now. We have guarded Huaihuang Hall for so many years. This is just a hall name decided after the separation of the Li family. It should really be the Li family of Longxi. But it’s all in the almanac, so don’t mention it.”

"From now on, the descendants of your two brothers will still be the main sect. Only Lingqiaozi and his parents can become the small sect among the rest of the people who migrated there. How about all the others being branches?" Li Shuguan asked with a smile, a rare expression on his old face. I saw some smiles.

The Li family does need more people to manage it. It has been okay in the past few years, but with the increase in the number of monks with other surnames, the original Li family monks seem a bit thin.

Li Yang shook his head and said: "From now on, only Lingqiaozi will be the major sect, and the rest will be transferred to the minor sect. Those uncles' heirs will just follow your instructions, but they will only go to the minor sect at most."

He seemed to agree with Li Shuguan's proposal. After all, everyone had the same blood flowing through them.

"It's just a voluntary principle. I won't force you to join. If you don't want to, you can keep the title of Huaihuang Li Family." Li Yang continued to add.

Li Shuguan said: "It should be so."

After the two of them finished talking, Li Yang walked out of the Li family's ancestral temple without lingering too much on this place.

Li Shuguan was left on the spot and heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he would agree to this matter so easily.

He turned around, bowed deeply to the memorial tablets in front of him, and said: "I hope you ancestors will not blame me. It is related to the long-term development of the Li family. Shu Guan can only do this. If there is any blame, I will not blame you." From now on, Shu Guan will be responsible for it alone."

"It's not too late. Fortunately, this child misses old friendships, but he also has courage. If this child can live for two or three hundred years, he won't have to worry about the Li family being unable to leave. I, the Xia Dynasty Li family..."

Li Shuguan murmured to himself, his voice getting weaker and weaker, and finally he stopped moaning at all, and still murmured in his mouth.

……

After eating snake meat, there seemed to be more noises quietly that night.

With his face flushed, Li Chengping suppressed the smell of alcohol and sat on the cliff of Taoyuan Mountain. Next to him was Xu Qingya, who was dressed in white. Her pretty body was blown by the night wind, and her long hair was dancing slightly, adding a bit of charm. Distinguish the cold charm.

She stood quietly beside Li Chengping and looked at Li Chengping whose feet were swinging back and forth in the air.

"Sister Xiaoya, when I come back from paying tribute this time, I will ask my mother to prepare to propose marriage to you, right?" Li Chengping suddenly turned around and looked at her pure and sweet face and said.

"what?"

Xu Qingya exclaimed, somewhat in disbelief. At the same time, her face turned red. She covered her cheeks with her hands, not daring to look at Li Chengping's face.

Li Chengping stood up and walked to her side. He grabbed Xu Qingya's hands covering her face with both hands and slowly put them down. At the same time, he held them in his hands. A trace of warmth passed from his hands to Xu Qingya's delicate skin. In his jade hands, slender and white as jade-like fat fingers commanded Li Chengping to pinch them twice.

The latter looked away shyly, his whole face turned red, but he did not struggle and let Li Chengping hold his palm.

"What, you don't want to?" Li Chengping asked jokingly in a low voice.

Xu Qingya shook her head first, and then nodded.

"Is it too early?" Xu Qingya asked timidly.

Li Chengping smiled evilly and said, "It's still early. When my mother was as old as you, I was already in her belly."

Xu Qingya said coquettishly: "You actually said such nonsense."

Li Chengping reached out and took her into his arms, and the two hugged each other tightly in the lonely cold evening breeze.

……

More than ten days after the banquet, the harvest season ushered in, and Li Chengping and others came to the fields.

The stalks of the spiritual rice are so hard that ordinary sickles cannot cut them. Only a sickle attached with golden light can be cut off. After that, the spiritual rice can be separated from the straw through beating and other steps.

After more than ten days of drying, this harvest of spiritual rice was completely completed. After some inventory, a total of more than 10,000 kilograms of spiritual rice were collected this time, but 40% of it must be handed over to Lijiang Academy. It has to be distributed to the monks below. Counting it, not much is left in the end.

On Taoyuan Mountain, Li Yang handed a storage bag to Li Chengping.

"It will be up to you and Qingya to pay tribute this time. In addition to the share you handed over, you will go to the market to exchange the remaining spiritual rice for spiritual stones. You can use part of it at your own disposal." Li Yang warned. road.

Li Chengping nodded, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will hug Chengping this time."

The spiritual rice ripens once every two years, so the tribute from Lijiang Academy is only once every two years. The previous two times, Li Yang took Li Chengping there, and this time, Li Chengping took Xu Qingya there.

Firstly, Li Yang planned to delegate power to Li Chengping to gradually take over, and secondly, it also gave the two people a chance to get along.

Compared to Li Chengping's confidence, Xu Qingya just agreed gently.

She was a little nervous even though she was a little excited about this tribute.

After all, this was my first time out of Taoxi Town, and I was very curious about the outside world.

Li Yang smiled warmly and said to the two of them, "Let's go when you're ready."

In this way, the two drove the carriage slowly out of Taoxi Town.
