The Master of Cultivation rises up

There were only a handful of people who came to the Duke Protector's Mansion to express their condolences.

Duanmu Jin stood at the corner of the street, most of his body was hidden behind the wall, silently staring in the direction of the Duke Protector's Mansion.His eyes were full of complicated emotions, and he wanted to step forward several times but stopped.

After all, he still had no face to meet Li Chao.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, Duanmu Jin lowered his head, and the corner of his brown clothes came into view.He didn't look back, his eyes looked at Xing Su in the distance, and he called "Master" lukewarmly.

Lu Jiuxian, who was carrying the epee on his back, let out a long sigh and stood shoulder to shoulder with Duanmu Jin.He had lived for so long, so long that he almost forgot how many years, he was used to seeing life and death, so he didn't feel much about what happened to the Li family.It's just that he got involved in the end, Lu Jiuxian was filled with emotion when the situation in the past was so desolate to the present.

"Aren't you going to meet him?" Lu Jiuxian relaxed his body, propped up one leg and half leaned against the wall, and fell to the ground with his heavy sword slanted.He untied the flagon from his waist and took a sip of strong wine. "Ha, take a bite?"

He stood by Duanmujin's side, the outstretched jug happened to be facing Duanmujin's left arm, and his eyes touched the other's empty sleeve, Lu Jiuxian's eyes darkened, and just about to take the jug back, Duanmujin turned around, Take it with your right hand.Strong alcohol rushed into his throat, and the hot burning gave Duanmu Jin the most real feeling, proving that he was still alive.

Returning the jug to Lu Jiuxian, Duanmu Jin closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the taste of the spirits, but also seemed to be thinking.In the end, he said softly, not knowing who he was speaking to.

"The matter has come to this point, seeing or not seeing, to him, it makes no difference. I am an outsider, but I am also an insider. When things have developed to this extent, what I have to bear is enough for me to repay in my life." With empty sleeves, Duanmu Jin bowed his head and said nothing.

Lu Jiuxian took another sip of the strong wine and looked up at the sky.The sky was bright and the air was clear, the wind was high and the clouds were light. The hem of the clothes of the two of them was blown up by the wind, stirring up a little bit of dust.He breathed a sigh of relief and looked far away.

"I should thank you for saving my life. Speaking of which, how do you know someone is going to kill me?"

"You are my master." So no matter what, I will not watch you die in front of me, Duanmu Jin said, "As the master said, I know everything. Father's temptation, elder brother's scheme, and uncle's conspiracy ...the tragedy of the Li family." He closed his eyes and took a panoramic view of his emotions, as if he was talking about an extremely trivial matter, as for his thoughts, only he knew clearly.

"I think you are more suitable to be an emperor than the eldest prince."

emperor?Duanmu Jin sneered: "No, the eldest brother is the material to be an emperor. He is more ruthless than me, more powerful than me, and more ambitious than me. The Li family is so big, if you give up, you will give up. If you are me... Be me, and you will be soft-hearted after all."

Is your heart soft? Lu Jiuxian shook his head, remembering that Duanmujin agreed to Duanmuyu's conditions in exchange for the safety of the other party's third sibling. He felt that Duanmujin was not just softhearted, but something had already taken root in his heart.With Duanmu Jin's intelligence, he should have known about it a long time ago. Since the person concerned is not in a hurry, why should he go through this muddy water.

"I'm leaving." Lu Jiuxian said slowly, sipping the few spirits in the jug. "The favor I owe to your elder brother has been paid off. If I stay here again, I will only be discovered by that person. It is better to leave early." Mentioning that person, Lu Jiuxian only felt that the wine in his mouth suddenly became bitter. , hate him.

Rather be a heartless ghost than make wedding clothes.

He murmured silently in his heart, unable to see that his expression was extremely ugly.

"Shenjian Mountain." Duanmu Jin said lightly, pointing out the way for Lu Jiuxian to escape.The sword intent of Shenjian Mountain can cover up the aura of Lanchen Golden Snake, even if that person reaches Shenjian Mountain, it will be difficult to find him.The latter's eyes lit up, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Apprentice, we will meet later."

Lu Jiuxian held the epee in his hand, swung it in a big circle, and the golden light turned into a shooting star, which disappeared in an instant.In the end, a sentence floated from the sky. "You should tell him what you did for him."

Duanmu Jin stood outside for a long time, but he still didn't enter the door after all.The empty sleeves drew a circular arc, and he disappeared into the corner of the street, as if he had never been there before.

The Duke Protector's mansion was pitifully deserted. After this incident, the formerly crowded Li family became deserted.No one came to express their condolences, and there was no cry. The three brothers and sisters and a group of servants silently burned paper money in the mourning hall.The flames were blazing, but the hearts of the Li family were very cold.

Just now, the Wen family sent their servants here, not for condolences or comfort, they only left a letter of divorce, and then walked away.The divorce letter was written by Wen Zhong himself. After Li Mian finished reading it, he threw the divorce letter into the brazier, and the red flame quickly burned the divorce letter to nothing.

"What a writer! What a writer!" Li Mian gritted his teeth.She hadn't seen how much she liked Wen Zhong, if she had just retired the engagement, it would be fine, but at this moment, Li Mian's face was even colder, if Li Chao and Li Xiao hadn't stopped her, she would have killed Wen's family.

"It's easy to add flowers to the cake, but it's hard to give charcoal in the snow. Sister, why are you angry? Our family was defeated, and it's only natural for them to retire, so why bother to make each other embarrassing. Let's write down what happened today. Tomorrow...today... In the future...what can't you do?"

Putting the last piece of paper money into the brazier, watching it curl up and gradually turn into ashes, Li Chao said calmly.

"Shi Yijian, Wen Jia, Duanmu..." Li Chao hid the hatred in his eyes very well. As an actor, he would not allow anyone to catch him at such a time.Looking at the movements of the various government offices in the court, Li Chao knew that his father's funeral would not end so easily.

Li Chao didn't wait for the imperial edict to come to the palace, nor did he wait for the officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Punishment.In the afternoon, Duke Protector's Mansion welcomed an unexpected visitor.

Hearing the noise of the servants in the courtyard, Li Chao frowned and walked out of the mourning hall.

The visitor was dressed in red, which was particularly conspicuous in the plain.He descended from the sky, carrying red silk all over the sky, and landed in the front yard of Duke Protector's Mansion.His face was pale, his lips were blood-colored, and he didn't look like a living person. His black hair was loose and could not cover his piercing black eyes. Among the fluttering white flags, he looked like a ghost. No wonder the servants were afraid.

"Where is Lu Jiu?"

The man's voice was cold, but it didn't match his enchanting appearance at all. Through the system, Li Chao still got a name and a string of question marks. The 12-year-old Li Chao has reached the fifth level of the immortal. In his opinion, the man who is still a question mark is already close to ascending to the realm of a god. Li Chao has to deal with the arrival of such a character with all his strength.

Wedding dress ghost, just by hearing the name, you know it's not a good match.

"Although I don't know why you came here looking for someone, there is no one named Lu Jiu here. If you don't believe me, as long as you don't disturb my father, you can look for it yourself in the mansion."

The wedding dress ghost looked at the young man who walked out of the crowd to answer, his dazzling white hair made him narrow his eyes slightly, thoughtful.The seal of the wolf king, the body of a fairy, the boy with white hair, this boy... Wait, the seal of the wolf king, isn't this the Duke Protector's Mansion?

The eyes of the ghost in wedding dress were full of stinging eyes, and he felt lost: "It's been a long time since I left, but I didn't expect Li Jiye to leave like this. It's a trick of fate, I always thought that kid could live a few more years."

"Hey, boy, are you Li Jiye's son or grandson? Looking at it, I guess that kid doesn't have a son as young as you. Call your adults out. I have something to say to him."

Li Chao raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect this man to know his grandfather. It seemed that he had a good relationship with him, but he didn't know why he hadn't contacted him for many years. He didn't even hear about his grandfather's death for so long.

"Although I don't know the relationship between your Excellency and grandfather, I have never heard of it, but my grandfather died of illness 30 years ago, and those lying in the mourning hall today are my father, mother and uncle."

The ghost in wedding dress paused for a while, and remained silent for a while.

"I didn't expect...Jing'an and Dao'an, I hugged them when they were young. I didn't expect..." The wedding dress ghost closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and asked, "Who are they, how did they get there?"

"War and chaos, counter-rebellion." In just four words, how much blood and tears were contained, the foundation of the immortal dynasty was once again stained with the blood of the Li family.

"I'm your grandfather's friend. Many years ago..." The wedding dress ghost seemed to be remembering, but stopped talking halfway through. "Flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year." At the end, the wedding ghost said with emotion.

"As a good friend of my grandfather, I should go to the mourning hall for a stick of incense." Li Chao made a gesture of invitation, but the other party did not shirk, put away the red silk that was everywhere, and walked into the mourning hall.

After offering incense, the family returned the gift, a familiar red silk was exposed from Li Mian's sleeve, and the wedding ghost saw it, held Li Mian's hand, and pulled out the fish-dragon-dancing sleeve.Li Mian looked at Li Chao helplessly, and the other party gave him a comforting look.

"This is... Fish and Dragon Dance Water Sleeve." His pale face showed an expression of great nostalgia, "This is a magic weapon used by your grandmother. It was originally a pair. She died in the Tianmen Mountain Rebellion. One of them It was captured by the people of the Southern Wilderness, and it took me a lot of effort to get it back, and now, I return it to Zhao."

The wedding ghost took out another fish-dragon-dancing water sleeve from the sleeve, and handed it to Li Mian in both hands.He looked into Li Mian's eyes and said, "You are very similar to your grandmother, and you both have a pair of very moving eyes. This sleeve kung fu cheat book is for you. I compiled it using your grandmother's kung fu and my many years of experience. Be good at it." use."

The thin booklet carried a strong aura, and it was obvious at a glance that it was not ordinary. Li Mian thanked the wedding dress ghost with red eyes.He waved his hand and said, "That's all I can do. I had a friendship with your grandfather, but I failed to protect his son, so I should protect his grandchildren. Here is a jade slip of communication. If you have any difficulties, you can use the jade slip to tell me, and I will come as soon as possible."

While several people were talking, the door of the Li family was knocked open again, and the guards of the Habayashi in armor surrounded the Duke Huguo's mansion tightly.
