Demon Cultivator Rebirth
Chapter 3 This Magical Child
.
Shi Lixu said that he had nothing to do with him, but seeing Shi Likang's high spirits, he felt a little speechless. Ye Mingnan, who was on the same front as him, seemed to have turned his back on him.Amidst the chirping voices of the two children, time passed quickly, and it was the day when Shi Lijia returned to the family.
Originally, the identities of the children in the family stood up to welcome each other, but in view of the bad relationship between Shi Lixu and Shi Lijia, Shi Likang was allowed to stand in the front row, and at the same time, Shi Lixu was asked to stand in front of Shi Lijia. Li Jia remained respectful and did not obstruct Shi Lijia's eyes, allowing him to stand in the center of the disciples.
When this arrangement was made, Shi Lixu didn't react much, but Shi Likang resisted fiercely for a while, and was later fined by his family to kneel in the family's ancestral hall for an hour. It's over.It was the first time for Shi Likang to hear brother Xu speak to him so tenderly. He only thought that his hard work had finally begun to pay off. This time, brother Xu was wronged. Having said that, it is a blessing for the family that the two elder brothers turned their fights into jades.
It was noon, and Shi Lixu stood in the center of the family's children, waiting with them for the return of the family's glory.
Standing on the long sword with his hands behind his back, the breeze blows his clothes flying, his expression is indifferent, but he can feel the fierceness from his whole body, the young man came to the door of Shi's house, jumped off the sword, and the ancient The long brown sword was straight up and inserted into the scabbard behind the young man.
Fang Ruyi walked forward first, and said with a smile: "Oh, in a blink of an eye, Xiaojia has become so big, and it's so powerful."
"How is Auntie recently?"
"Hey," Fang Ruyi sighed, pretending to be very embarrassed and then put on a smile for a moment, "It's okay, come and say hello to the elders in the family first, and then go chat with Kang'er and the others. chat."
After Shi Lijia greeted the senior members of the family one by one, he walked directly to the children of the family, and saw the young man standing in the first row with his arms outstretched and waving, with a cold face. It was a smile that let out a smile, and he walked in front of everyone at a faster speed, and said: "You have worked hard today, so you should go away first."
Some people originally wanted to take this opportunity to get close to each other, seeing Shi Lijia rubbing Shi Likang's face dotingly, and even glancing at the person who was trying to get close, they gave up. Anyway, this time Shi Lijia It will take a few months to fight back, and it will be a long time, so don't worry, if you disturb other people's brotherhood, maybe you will be credited.
Soon, only Shi Likang and Shi Lijia were left at the door. The sun was shining brightly at this time, and Shi Lijia was a cultivator who was not afraid of the heat, so Shi Likang felt a little uncomfortably hot , stretched out his hand and pulled the hand that was still kneading on his head, pulled his messy hair a few times, walked around behind Shi Lijia, poked the sword curiously, and then pinched it again. Squeezing Shi Lijia's chest muscles, he spread his hands to both sides, waving his palms up and down as if to fly, and asked curiously: "Brother, you haven't lost weight, why can the sword take you flying?"
Seeing Shi Likang like this, Shi Lijia put his hand on his shoulder, pinched his nose and said cheerfully: "You must have not seriously looked at those cultivation matters these days, this sword belongs to me Magical tool, now that I am in the consecration period, I naturally know how to control the sword, and when I am in the spiritual silence period, I can learn the technique of controlling the sky, so I can walk in the air without the assistance of this magic tool. When we arrived in Qingshan Town, we specially asked Master to leave for three months, just to let you go smoothly when recruiting new students in the sect."
"Brother, I...I..."
"What are you stuttering, do you want to go out with my brother, and I will take you around the three towns of Baili this afternoon."
"It's too far away, even Qingshan Town is enough for us to visit."
"Silly brother," Shi Lijia made a decision, the long sword flew out of the scabbard, and the hilt rubbed against Shi Likang's body, "See if it urges you to go up?"
"Brother, it's a little... scary."
Shi Lijia jumped up, stretched out his hand to Shi Likang, and said cheerfully, "Come on, you will definitely have to learn these things in the future, so if you are really afraid, hold your brother's waist."
Looking at the hand in front of him, Shi Likang finally stretched out his hand and was brought to the sword by Shi Lijia. The two of them turned into a streamer and flew towards the sky.
Shi Lixu, who was hiding on the side, walked out from behind the stone lion. He did not expect that Shi Lijia had become a late-stage consecratory cultivation base in a short period of time, and he already had his own magic weapon. He is strong, and there is almost no chance of winning head-on. I only hope that Shi Likang treats each other sincerely in these days and can buy himself some time.
Thinking of this, Shi Lixu walked towards the back mountain. At this time, there were no leopards in the back mountain. When he knew that Shi Lijia was coming back, Shi Lixu went to the back mountain as soon as possible to ask them to leave this place. Without the consent of the mother leopard, after persuasion to no avail.Shi Lixu finally made up his mind to fight the mother leopard. All he knew was that they didn't show mercy that time. If they had known each other for a long time, this time it was a territorial dispute. If you want to win the territory, you can only rely on fighting to solve the problem.
Shi Lixu sat in the cave and picked up some leopard fur on the ground and looked at it carefully. He remembered that day when the little leopard bit his trouser leg and whined. Let go, he remembers the sad look of the mother leopard before turning around, he remembers the little leopard looking back frequently when it was taken away by the mother leopard.But he couldn't say the words to keep them, the danger here is far greater than the danger of leaving here.He couldn't protect them, he didn't even know if he could protect himself and Ye Mingnan.
After staying for a while, Ye Mingnan ran over, sat close to him and didn't speak, and the two of them didn't feel embarrassed. Before Shi Lixu, Ye Mingnan told him that the two were going to leave Shi's house. For a period of time, the two of them depended on each other for life in the true sense.
On the other side, Shi Likang and Shi Lijia were walking on the streets of Huangtong Town. Shi Likang walked in front, and Shi Lijia followed behind to give Shi Likang the things he bought. Put it in his Qiankun bag, but he is willing.After the shopping, the two walked outside the town. Shi Lijia suddenly interrupted Shi Likang and asked, "Brother Kang, do you want to embark on the path of cultivation with brother?"
"That's for sure, but I guess I have to come back after reaching a certain level, and I can't indulge in this way."
"Because you want to be the head of the house?"
"Not counting, this has always been my mother's wish."
"After I reach a higher level, my lifespan will increase accordingly. If you can't reach it in time, do you want me to watch you grow old and die?"
"But if I devote myself to cultivating the Tao, the Shi family..."
"I have my own way to make your position as the head of the family unshakable, but you have to promise me to practice Taoism with me."
"Actually, that's not true. Brother Xu also..."
"Brother Xu?" Hearing this strange address, Shi Lijia didn't know how many people had entered Shi Likang's life during the years he left, and his heart became a little restless, and his voice became sharper, "Yes who?"
"Oh, Brother Shi Lixu." When Shi Lixu was mentioned, Shi Likang's brows were full of smiles, "He is actually quite suitable to be the head of the family, and then you and I will go to practice Taoism. Isn't this the best of both worlds? If so, brother Xu will definitely improve his status in the Shi family, and more people will like him."
"Don't you want to be the head of the house?"
"You can't say that, after all, I have been aiming for this since I was a child, but Brother Xu..."
"Okay, come up, we should go to another town." Shi Lijia interrupted Shi Likang with some irritability.
"Got it." Because Shi Lijia was holding things in both hands and had no intention of helping him at all, Shi Likang curled his lips and climbed onto the sword using both hands and feet. After standing firmly, he grabbed the clothes around Shi Lijia's waist, Some vented their anger and said, "Dia——ahhhh!"
Unexpectedly, Shi Lijia suddenly accelerated, and Shi Likang was so frightened that he lay down on Shi Lijia's body and hugged him tightly, not letting go.
☆, execute family rules
What relieved Shi Lixu a little was that when Shi Lijia came back, although he looked at him with the same impatience as before, he didn't directly make himself look bad. Xu blinked.Shi Lixu waved his hand at him, feeling relieved in his heart.
However, since I have already started to prepare to leave, I will naturally not stop. In addition, because of Shi Lijia's return, my daily routine teaching is also cancelled, so that the time I can prepare is relatively short of what I expected For those in the middle, it should be much more generous.
Now my identity as a demon cultivator cannot be revealed, so I can only survive outside the world with ordinary people's methods, neither the Qiankun ring nor spells can be used.And you can't bring too much money with you, he knows the truth about the innocent and the guilty.
Shi Lijia's abnormal behavior made the children of the family confused. They didn't target Shi Lixu everywhere as before, but they still didn't show Shi Lixu a good face. They really didn't know how to deal with it. Choose to wait and see.
After staying for more than half a month without incident, Shi Lixu left Shi's house alone to go to the town to buy some medicines for emergencies.
And Shi Lijia in the family looked at the letter paper in his hand and frowned. After more than half a month, he finally found out the news and Aunt Fang cried in front of him. He finally knew that Shi Lixu and Ye Mingnan were there. What an eyesore the Shi family is.
No matter whether Kangdi really likes Shi Lixu or not, Shi Lijia will not allow this kind of thing to happen.
A fire was born on Shi Lijia's fingers, slowly burning the letter paper to ashes, and then walked out of the room.
"Ye Mingnan, I heard that you are Shi Lixu's younger brother. He has taught you a lot. Today I will be a teacher and give you some pointers."
"No need, thank you."
Shi Lijia knew that Ye Mingnan would not agree, and it was the same personality as what Aunt Fang said, even if it wasn't so what, an ordinary person picked up from trash is just an ant-like existence, even if he doesn't find a reason, he can teach him a lesson. What's more, there are ready-made reasons in front of me.
"You hid pretty fast." Shi Lijia withdrew his hand. This kid's reaction speed and positioning accuracy are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even the disciples with high aptitude in Wu Zongmen can't match. Sure enough, tigers are still infested?
Ye Mingnan didn't want to have more disputes with him, so he turned and left, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, Ye Mingnan took a step back, and said with a smile: "You are a cultivator, I am an ordinary person, and you are older than me, Is this bullying the weak or the big bullying the small?"
"I just wanted to give you some pointers."
Ye Mingnan looked at the young man's eyes firmly. His eyes were firm, but his obsession was too deep. It seemed that if he didn't agree, he would keep pestering him endlessly. He could only grit his teeth and nodded, "I hope you will be merciful."
Shi Lijia's eyes sank, he waved his sleeves, bent down suddenly, and swept towards Ye Mingnan's lower body with the sound of hunting wind.Ye Mingnan, who had been on guard for a long time, let out a soft drink, quickly walked away with small steps, looked to the right, and then turned to the stone pillar and ran. The momentum was coming from top to bottom, and it was too late to dodge at this time, Ye Mingnan suddenly raised his left hand to take the blow with his elbow, and then used his strength to retreat in the opposite direction.
Who knows that Shi Lijia is chasing after him, no matter how many ways Ye Mingnan has to get out of this small body, he can't use it. He can only resist at the speed of Shi Lijia, and the attacks are densely packed like meteors. After piled up, Ye Mingnan, who is as sensitive as Ye Mingnan, also missed a little bit. Just when Ye Mingnan was about to mobilize the spiritual energy inside his body to resist, the attack receded like a tide.
Shi Lijia, who was standing opposite, looked a little pale. Ye Mingnan's consciousness sensed the disorder of his breath, and he thought that this matter would be over.As a cultivator, Shi Lijia was able to use martial arts to such an extent that he was worthy of the title of great disciple. He didn't use a trace of spiritual energy, so he didn't have much hostility.Ye Mingnan made a bow and said, "Much—"
"No, I just ask if you are a child of the Shi family or not?"
"I didn't join the Shi family." Ye Mingnan didn't plan to join the Shi family to guard the so-called family property for the Shi family, and Shi Lixu never mentioned it, so joining the Shi family is naturally out of the question.
"Hmph," Shi Lijia sneered, then turned his head to the people who were watching the excitement, "You said, what is the record in the family rules for secretly teaching non-family children high-level martial arts?"
"Uh..." The man took out a book from his body, licked his fingers and began to turn it up, "The light ones can be whipped twenty times, and the severe ones can be kicked out of the house without all their martial arts."
"What do you mean?" Ye Mingnan's voice became sharp when he heard this sentence.
"What's your name? This is just Shi Lixu's punishment..."
"I learned it secretly, don't care about other things." Ye Mingnan replied without thinking.
Shi Lijia lowered his head and laughed softly, and said in his own voice: "I would like to see how this family waste can be protected by others. Kangdi is like this, and this Ye Mingnan is also like this."
There are family rules in the family, Ye Mingnan never expected that Shi Lixu would teach him advanced martial arts that cannot be passed on from the family. Although it is not correct in the overall situation, but being able to treat him like this makes him feel that he is taken seriously by others. I feel that, no matter what, Shi Lixu can no longer be stimulated now, and any event may become an opportunity for Shi Lixu to embark on the road of cultivating demons.
"What if you learn martial arts secretly?"
"Oh, this, lashing with thirty lashes will destroy all martial skills."
Shi Lijia licked his upper lip, and said: "I think you are still young, and you are also a plastic talent. You went to the execution hall to receive the thirty big whips by yourself, and let you keep all your martial arts."
Ye Mingnan's hands tightened and then loosened and tightened again. He was the proud son of heaven at home. Although he had suffered a lot of beatings, he had never suffered this kind of punishment. Finally, the moment when Shi Lixu pinched his face flashed through his mind. Ye Mingnan took a deep breath and smiled forcefully, "Yes."
Standing in the center of the torture hall, the child's white upper body is bare, but the outline of the muscles can be seen slightly, the feet are shoulder-width apart, and after stabilizing his lower body, he clenched his fists: " bring it on."
Crack, crack, crack sounded, accompanied by the small muffled hum of the child.
Red marks gradually appeared on his back, with shallow water marks.
One, two, three...
Gradually, the child's back began to bleed, and it was not just a red mark, but the flesh and blood turned outward slightly, and the whip was filled with salt water, which doubled the burning pain on the back.Beads of sweat rolled down from his head, and the sweat from the pain on his back added fuel to the flames. The child took a deep breath and mobilized the wood-type spiritual energy in his body to repair it. There is not much wood-type spiritual energy stored, and the pain diverts his attention, so it doesn't help much.
When the last whip came down, Ye Mingnan relaxed, but because of the force of the whip, he staggered a few steps forward. He leaned on the wall of the execution hall, took deep breaths time and time again to adjust his heart, and waited for a stronger one. Time, turn around and get the coat on the bench.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to be quite stubborn. Everyone who came in and received a few whips was crying. I didn't expect you didn't even yell."
At this time, Shi Lixu didn't even have the strength to laugh, so he took his clothes and walked outside step by step.
"Are you okay?" Unexpectedly, Shi Likang was the first one who came to express condolences.
"Do you have any medicine?" He spat out these words with some difficulty.
"Yes, you go to my room first, and I will help you with the medicine."
Ye Mingnan knew that Shi Likang and Shi Lijia were on good terms, but seeing his clear eyes, he decided to trust him once and nodded.
Shi Likang hastily pulled Ye Mingnan's arm around his neck, and was about to put his arms around Ye Mingnan's waist to carry him away. As soon as he touched his waist, he heard Ye Mingnan gasp. He couldn't stop apologizing, and then held him up. Back in his room, he asked Ye Mingnan to lie on his bed, took out Jinchuang medicine from his exclusive medicine cabinet, and saw Ye Mingnan's bloody back, and prepared to sprinkle it on it.
"Wait, are you trying to hurt me to death?"
"I, I, I haven't seen such a large-scale injury, I don't know." Shi Likang's voice trembled, it sounded as if he had been injured himself.
"Go and wipe it with water first, remember not to touch the wound with a towel."
Finally, after Shi Likang stumbled and wiped his back, Ye Mingnan reckoned that he would have fainted if he hadn't had enough concentration. At this time, Shi Lixu should have returned, so he could only urge, "Quickly sprinkle the medicine."
The pain of Jinchuang medicine powder touching the wound is no less than sprinkling salt on the wound, but Ye Mingnan gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound in front of Shi Likang, but when Shi Likang moved his face closer, he looked like he was about to cry look.
"what happened to you?"
"It hurts just looking at it... don't blame Brother Lijia."
"Don't tell your brother about this."
"Brother Xu?"
Although he really didn't want to hear Shi Likang call Shi Lixu that way, he still said "En".
knock knock knock.
"Who?"
"I."
Shi Likang's eyes widened, he turned around and asked in a low voice what should I do?Unexpectedly, Ye Mingnan had already covered himself under the quilt, Shi Likang didn't know how to put his hands down, and with a constipated expression, he muttered in a low voice: "It doesn't hurt, oops, my quilt must be covered in blood today."
"Shi Likang?"
"Yes, I'll open the door right away." Shi Likang ran over and opened the door.
"Is Mingnan here with you?"
"No, no no no no... not here."
Shi Lixu pursed his lips and walked inside, but was stopped by Shi Likang.
The smile on Shi Likang's face froze: "Brother Xu, I haven't cleared my room today, come to play next time."
"Kang'er, get out of the way."
"Oh, good." Hearing Shi Lixu call him that, Shi Likang was elated, and moved away involuntarily.
Shi Lixu came to the bed and looked at Ye Mingnan, who only showed a cheerful smile, and sat by the bed without saying a word.
"Brother? I want to live with Shi Likang recently."
Smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Shi Lixu frowned and lifted the quilt.
"Gently."
"Shi Lijia did it?"
"No, I accidentally—"
"He ordered it?"
"its mine……"
"Yes or no?"
"Yes." Ye Mingnan wanted to say something more, but Shi Lixu had already left the door.
Shi Lijia didn't expect that I still thought too well, Shi Lixu clenched his fists, he now feels a fire burning in his chest, burning his own reason, he just wants to make Shi Lijia pay the price .
☆、Let’s go to Bai Ancient City
At the back of the Shi Family Martial Arts Field is a martial arts arena that is only open for family competitions. Now that Shi Lijia is back, this place is naturally used as a place for Shi Lijia to practice on a daily basis.
"Are you here?" The young man standing in the center of the martial arts stage turned around slowly, and raised his jaw slightly, "Isn't this place inaccessible to ordinary people? Disgusting privilege? From entering the family's high-level place to bringing back a child who secretly learned martial arts?"
Shi Lixu took a long breath, jumped onto the martial arts stage, and slowly approached Shi Lijia, and said in a hoarse voice: "I just want to ask, did you cause the whip wound on Ye Mingnan's back?"
"So what if it is, so what if it's not? When will it be your turn to question me? Not to mention the family rules, even if I kill him, no one can say anything."
"Hahahahahaha," Shi Lixu turned his head up and laughed, his eyes were slightly red when he looked down at Shi Lijia, and he pulled out the black iron rod he had prepared on the road from behind, "Are you serious?" Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Oh? You look like you want to fight me?" Shi Lijia couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself that someone can really be so arrogant.
Shi Lixu didn't waste any more words, he raised the iron rod and attacked Shi Lijia.
Shi Lijia raised his long sword, and only heard the sound of steel hitting, both of them were shocked to take a few steps back. Shi Lijia looked at his slightly reddened tiger's mouth, and knew that he had underestimated this pseudo-spiritual root He stretched out his spare left hand and squeezed a tactic, only to see golden flames spraying out around the long sword, and layers of mist were released around it.
"I didn't expect such a mean person to have pure Gang Jinyan." Shi Lixu said softly, tightening the iron rod in his hand. If you are careful, you can find that the surroundings of the black rod have become less blurred, like It is like ripples and spreads out layer by layer. He knows the difference between the energy gathering period and the consecration period, but based on his previous life experience, there is no chance of winning.
Counting the toes, Shi Lixu bounced upwards, and after turning over, he grabbed the black stick with both hands and threw it at the release stand.The strength brought out the howling wind, Shi Lijia shouted loudly, lowered his body into a horse stance, squeezed the hilt of the sword with both hands, and raised the long sword vigorously to block Shi Lixu's blow.
The two remained in a stalemate, but their strength was evenly matched.
Seeing that his Pure Gang Jin Yan did not burn the opponent's weapon, but instead became much lighter, Shi Lijia was horrified, stepped back and looked at Shi Lixu warily.
"Where did you get this black stick?"
Naturally, Shi Lijia couldn't feel the devilish energy in Shi Lixu's body, and Shi Lixu had covered it up with his spiritual consciousness, so that there was no aura of a cultivator in his body.Of course, Shi Lijia didn't know the function of Shi Lixu's water system spiritual root.
Shi Lixu still didn't say a word, just stared at Shi Lijia, his eyes were red but neither sad nor happy, as if he was looking at something other than a living thing.After waiting for a while, Shi Lixu moved, but his movements were like ghosts and ghosts, only layers of black shadows could be seen.
"Qingchen Sword!" Shi Lijia's expression changed drastically, and the other long sword behind his back was unsheathed and came into Shi Lijia's hands. Run to the right in the gap, "Return the Qingchen Sword!"
He quickly took out a talisman from the Qiankun bag, and made a formula: "Broken—"
Seeing the flames bursting in the air, Shi Lixu's body froze, his whole body flew backwards, and then he fell to the ground suddenly: "cough cough cough..."
Shi Lixu wiped away the blood from his mouth with his thumb, covered his chest and coughed violently. He actually counted out that there were not many life-saving charms on the disciples of a big sect.
"Oh, I still wasted a blasting talisman." Shi Lijia was shocked when he saw that he had forced himself to this point, and he hid it so deeply that it seemed impossible to get rid of it. Shi Lixu.
Seeing the long sword stabbing towards him, Shi Lixu was about to bite his tongue to demonize, but he saw a figure block the attack, and he was caught in the waist and flew out to the martial arts stage, and the scenery around him quickly retreated .
"I ask you not to provoke Shi Lijia, but you just don't listen."
"Cough cough cough, thank you senior for saving me." Shi Lixu knew that it was the old man in Zangshu Pavilion who saved him, and he was very grateful. The old man was not an ordinary person, but now he was walking directly in the air. The cultivation base of the heart-beating period, but I don't know that I can be subservient to the old man of the Shi family as a janitor.
"Your family's doll is already in the carriage. I will send you there. The carriage goes directly to Baigu City, where the Zongmen's enrollment will be held soon. If you are interested, you can try it. The old man is preparing in the carriage." You have saved some money, alas, old man, I don’t have a lot of monthly silver, and you have all been taken away by you, a dead baby. After you have something to do, you will have to return it to me a thousand times.”
"Thank you, senior." Shi Lixu didn't know what he should say now, and his heart was a little moved.
"Yes, thank you for your kindness. You have to live in the future, otherwise you will waste the old man's money."
"kindness."
When they came to the place, the groom on the carriage hurriedly opened the curtain, and the old man threw Shi Lixu inside.
Shi Lixu, who hit the seat, coughed a few more times, but before he could stabilize, he only heard the neighing of the horse, and galloped away, while Shi Lixu lay on the ground directly.
"Brother you..."
"Lie down on it and don't move." Seeing Ye Mingnan who was lying on the soft couch struggling to get up, Shi Lixu hurriedly scolded, "I, I think the ground is very cool, let me lie down for a while."
Ye Mingnan obediently obeyed, his back really moved every time he moved, and asked carefully: "Brother, where are we going?"
"We can't stay in Shi's house anymore."
"...Did you go to see Shi Lijia just now?"
"We are going to Baigu City."
"Brother, did you lose?" Ye Mingnan wanted to tease Shi Lixu because he saw that Shi Lixu didn't have much to worry about.
"After that, it's time to find a sect to learn from a teacher."
"Is there any serious injury?"
"Then, where is the senior's money?"
Ye Mingnan secretly smiled, took out a small bundle from the pillow and gave it to Shi Lixu.
Shi Lixu opened the bag, his face was darkened when he saw that there was a 200 taels of silver bills, and then he began to count the number of copper plates, one thousand pieces was exactly ten taels of silver, plus scattered pieces of silver, it added up. There are 50 taels.Then he opened the letter, which read:
You and Ye Mingnan are still young, so it is not appropriate to carry too much money with you. There have been many cases of murder and robbery. There are still a few sets of simple clothes in the closet. You must remember not to leak your money. After arriving in Baigu City, you must find a way to make money. And let others know.
Because the speed of the carriage was faster than usual, and Baigu City was not too far away, it took a month to reach the gate of the city. Shi Lixu pulled Ye Mingnan out of the carriage.
"Hey, wait!"
Shi Lixu turned around and looked at the groom with some doubts.
"Why are you like this? You said that you will add 200 taels of silver to me after the delivery is expedited."
Shi Lixu was a little annoyed, and before he could say anything, Ye Mingnan took out the banknotes in the bag and gave them to the groom.
"Small ones are more sensible than big ones." The groom stuffed the banknote into his arms, got into the carriage and drove away.
"We only have copper coins left." Ye Mingnan pulled away the small bundle on his chest, and looked at Shi Lixu with a pitiful face.
Shi Lixu suppressed his temper, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Then why do you still pay him?"
"But when others do things for you, isn't it only natural for you to give them corresponding rewards?"
"Remember, there is nothing just and right in this world. If you force yourself, it is the rule."
"Brother, you can't think like this. If people who are stronger than you think like this, can ordinary people in the world still live?"
"Do you care about the life and death of ants on the ground all the time?"
"..."
"Okay, let's go to town."
Shi Lixu took the burden on Ye Mingnan's chest and said, "I can't let you manage the money anymore."
"..."
"Wait, do you have a sign?"
"No."
"Oh, the kids are a tael of silver each."
Silently counting two taels of silver and giving it to the guards, Shi Lixu took Ye Mingnan into the city with his only 48 taels of silver in his pocket.
"Brother, why did you give them money?"
"This is the rule of entering the city."
"Why are you talking about the rules now?"
"Because... I can't beat them now."
"Brother, do you think you can beat that groom?"
"you shut up."
"Okay." Ye Mingnan made a grimace and obediently walked down the street with Shi Lixu.
first dispute
"Mingnan, hunch your back a little bit."
"why?"
"With our outstanding temperament, we will definitely be targeted when we walk in the city."
Ye Mingnan covered his face silently, he suddenly felt that he had never understood Shi Lixu in his previous life.
The two came to a small inn, asked about the Zongmen's recruitment, and then called a herringbone room, and the two went in with their luggage.
I paid 30 taels of silver as a deposit just now, and now the only thing left on the two of them is mostly copper plates, and the registration of the sect in the near future will require silver taels. not much.
"Brother, we have no money."
Shi Lixu patted Ye Mingnan's head and said, "You stay here first, I'll go out and meet."
"Oh."
After finishing speaking, Shi Lixu went out, leaving Ye Mingnan alone in the room.
Ye Mingnan squeezed his hand, suppressed his desire to go out and follow Shi Lixu, and quickly began to adjust his inner breath.He didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since he knew that Shi Lixu had met Little Leopard, he was sometimes in a state of anxiety. Shi Lixu was his savior in both generations, and he chose to help him now out of love. Yu Li.
But he found that he became a little strange, he didn't like to see Shi Lixu being alone with others, he didn't want Shi Lixu to show a different expression to other people, although this was his original intention, it was really strange .He likes the feeling when he makes physical contact with Shi Lixu, as if his whole world brightens up.
"I am back."
Ye Mingnan adjusted his expression and waved to Shi Lixu with a smile.
"I went to ask the shopkeeper just now, and they happen to be short of a dish washer, one tael of silver a month, which is quite a lot."
"Huh? Is brother going to wash the dishes?"
"No, I'm definitely going to do the hard work. You can wash the dishes with the second brother tomorrow."
"……it is good."
This is the first time for the two of them to go out, obviously a little excited, Ye Mingnan put his arms around Shi Lixu's waist, and whispered: "Brother, I can't sleep."
"Well, I have a little too."
"Let me talk to you."
"Aren't you talking now?"
"Then I'll start talking..."
"Aren't you talking?"
"Don't interrupt me!"
Seeing Ye Mingnan's embarrassed look, Shi Lixu laughed, touched Ye Mingnan's face and said, "Speak, I'll listen."
"A person is holding a cup and pouring very hot tea into it, can he still hold it?"
"Is he a cultivator? If so, he should be able to hold on."
"No."
"Then it should fall to the ground."
"Yeah, everything in the world is like this, let it go when it hurts."
Shi Lixu, who was patted on the back by Ye Mingnan, stood up, looked down at the child's hair, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The so-called state-owned state law, the family has family rules, Shi Lijia is to act according to the family rules, brother does not have to keep it in mind, it will only increase hatred."
"Do you remember what you just asked?"
"remember."
"What if I say I don't want to be an ordinary person?"
"elder brother……"
"Mingnan, I don't want to talk about him now, okay?" Shi Lixu sighed, turned his back to Ye Mingnan, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep first."
Ye Mingnan looked at Shi Lixu's vest and felt a little uncomfortable. Naturally, he criticized Shi Lijia thousands of times in his heart. After finally making Shi Lixu's thoughts more righteous, now there is hatred hidden in his heart.
"Brother, don't do this." Ye Mingnan pushed Shi Lixu silently, but he didn't expect Shi Lixu's reaction to be a little big, so he turned over and sat up, pinching his face and moving his own closer.
"That's right, it wasn't me who was whipped, and it wasn't me who was poisoned to death? Why should I hate him? No matter what, it's the glory of my family, the hope of my family. Why should I do it for someone who has nothing to do with me?" To resent him? Sleep!"
After finishing speaking, Shi Lixu turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes, and said, "Go to bed first, I'll go out and be alone for a while."
Ye Mingnan watched Shi Lixu open the door and leave, but all the words were choked in his throat. He didn't know who was poisoned to death. He knew that Shi Lixu felt sorry for him, but when he heard with his own ears that Shi Lixu When he said "it doesn't matter" from his mouth, it seemed that his whole heart was pulled.
he doesn't know
Shi Lixu said that he had nothing to do with him, but seeing Shi Likang's high spirits, he felt a little speechless. Ye Mingnan, who was on the same front as him, seemed to have turned his back on him.Amidst the chirping voices of the two children, time passed quickly, and it was the day when Shi Lijia returned to the family.
Originally, the identities of the children in the family stood up to welcome each other, but in view of the bad relationship between Shi Lixu and Shi Lijia, Shi Likang was allowed to stand in the front row, and at the same time, Shi Lixu was asked to stand in front of Shi Lijia. Li Jia remained respectful and did not obstruct Shi Lijia's eyes, allowing him to stand in the center of the disciples.
When this arrangement was made, Shi Lixu didn't react much, but Shi Likang resisted fiercely for a while, and was later fined by his family to kneel in the family's ancestral hall for an hour. It's over.It was the first time for Shi Likang to hear brother Xu speak to him so tenderly. He only thought that his hard work had finally begun to pay off. This time, brother Xu was wronged. Having said that, it is a blessing for the family that the two elder brothers turned their fights into jades.
It was noon, and Shi Lixu stood in the center of the family's children, waiting with them for the return of the family's glory.
Standing on the long sword with his hands behind his back, the breeze blows his clothes flying, his expression is indifferent, but he can feel the fierceness from his whole body, the young man came to the door of Shi's house, jumped off the sword, and the ancient The long brown sword was straight up and inserted into the scabbard behind the young man.
Fang Ruyi walked forward first, and said with a smile: "Oh, in a blink of an eye, Xiaojia has become so big, and it's so powerful."
"How is Auntie recently?"
"Hey," Fang Ruyi sighed, pretending to be very embarrassed and then put on a smile for a moment, "It's okay, come and say hello to the elders in the family first, and then go chat with Kang'er and the others. chat."
After Shi Lijia greeted the senior members of the family one by one, he walked directly to the children of the family, and saw the young man standing in the first row with his arms outstretched and waving, with a cold face. It was a smile that let out a smile, and he walked in front of everyone at a faster speed, and said: "You have worked hard today, so you should go away first."
Some people originally wanted to take this opportunity to get close to each other, seeing Shi Lijia rubbing Shi Likang's face dotingly, and even glancing at the person who was trying to get close, they gave up. Anyway, this time Shi Lijia It will take a few months to fight back, and it will be a long time, so don't worry, if you disturb other people's brotherhood, maybe you will be credited.
Soon, only Shi Likang and Shi Lijia were left at the door. The sun was shining brightly at this time, and Shi Lijia was a cultivator who was not afraid of the heat, so Shi Likang felt a little uncomfortably hot , stretched out his hand and pulled the hand that was still kneading on his head, pulled his messy hair a few times, walked around behind Shi Lijia, poked the sword curiously, and then pinched it again. Squeezing Shi Lijia's chest muscles, he spread his hands to both sides, waving his palms up and down as if to fly, and asked curiously: "Brother, you haven't lost weight, why can the sword take you flying?"
Seeing Shi Likang like this, Shi Lijia put his hand on his shoulder, pinched his nose and said cheerfully: "You must have not seriously looked at those cultivation matters these days, this sword belongs to me Magical tool, now that I am in the consecration period, I naturally know how to control the sword, and when I am in the spiritual silence period, I can learn the technique of controlling the sky, so I can walk in the air without the assistance of this magic tool. When we arrived in Qingshan Town, we specially asked Master to leave for three months, just to let you go smoothly when recruiting new students in the sect."
"Brother, I...I..."
"What are you stuttering, do you want to go out with my brother, and I will take you around the three towns of Baili this afternoon."
"It's too far away, even Qingshan Town is enough for us to visit."
"Silly brother," Shi Lijia made a decision, the long sword flew out of the scabbard, and the hilt rubbed against Shi Likang's body, "See if it urges you to go up?"
"Brother, it's a little... scary."
Shi Lijia jumped up, stretched out his hand to Shi Likang, and said cheerfully, "Come on, you will definitely have to learn these things in the future, so if you are really afraid, hold your brother's waist."
Looking at the hand in front of him, Shi Likang finally stretched out his hand and was brought to the sword by Shi Lijia. The two of them turned into a streamer and flew towards the sky.
Shi Lixu, who was hiding on the side, walked out from behind the stone lion. He did not expect that Shi Lijia had become a late-stage consecratory cultivation base in a short period of time, and he already had his own magic weapon. He is strong, and there is almost no chance of winning head-on. I only hope that Shi Likang treats each other sincerely in these days and can buy himself some time.
Thinking of this, Shi Lixu walked towards the back mountain. At this time, there were no leopards in the back mountain. When he knew that Shi Lijia was coming back, Shi Lixu went to the back mountain as soon as possible to ask them to leave this place. Without the consent of the mother leopard, after persuasion to no avail.Shi Lixu finally made up his mind to fight the mother leopard. All he knew was that they didn't show mercy that time. If they had known each other for a long time, this time it was a territorial dispute. If you want to win the territory, you can only rely on fighting to solve the problem.
Shi Lixu sat in the cave and picked up some leopard fur on the ground and looked at it carefully. He remembered that day when the little leopard bit his trouser leg and whined. Let go, he remembers the sad look of the mother leopard before turning around, he remembers the little leopard looking back frequently when it was taken away by the mother leopard.But he couldn't say the words to keep them, the danger here is far greater than the danger of leaving here.He couldn't protect them, he didn't even know if he could protect himself and Ye Mingnan.
After staying for a while, Ye Mingnan ran over, sat close to him and didn't speak, and the two of them didn't feel embarrassed. Before Shi Lixu, Ye Mingnan told him that the two were going to leave Shi's house. For a period of time, the two of them depended on each other for life in the true sense.
On the other side, Shi Likang and Shi Lijia were walking on the streets of Huangtong Town. Shi Likang walked in front, and Shi Lijia followed behind to give Shi Likang the things he bought. Put it in his Qiankun bag, but he is willing.After the shopping, the two walked outside the town. Shi Lijia suddenly interrupted Shi Likang and asked, "Brother Kang, do you want to embark on the path of cultivation with brother?"
"That's for sure, but I guess I have to come back after reaching a certain level, and I can't indulge in this way."
"Because you want to be the head of the house?"
"Not counting, this has always been my mother's wish."
"After I reach a higher level, my lifespan will increase accordingly. If you can't reach it in time, do you want me to watch you grow old and die?"
"But if I devote myself to cultivating the Tao, the Shi family..."
"I have my own way to make your position as the head of the family unshakable, but you have to promise me to practice Taoism with me."
"Actually, that's not true. Brother Xu also..."
"Brother Xu?" Hearing this strange address, Shi Lijia didn't know how many people had entered Shi Likang's life during the years he left, and his heart became a little restless, and his voice became sharper, "Yes who?"
"Oh, Brother Shi Lixu." When Shi Lixu was mentioned, Shi Likang's brows were full of smiles, "He is actually quite suitable to be the head of the family, and then you and I will go to practice Taoism. Isn't this the best of both worlds? If so, brother Xu will definitely improve his status in the Shi family, and more people will like him."
"Don't you want to be the head of the house?"
"You can't say that, after all, I have been aiming for this since I was a child, but Brother Xu..."
"Okay, come up, we should go to another town." Shi Lijia interrupted Shi Likang with some irritability.
"Got it." Because Shi Lijia was holding things in both hands and had no intention of helping him at all, Shi Likang curled his lips and climbed onto the sword using both hands and feet. After standing firmly, he grabbed the clothes around Shi Lijia's waist, Some vented their anger and said, "Dia——ahhhh!"
Unexpectedly, Shi Lijia suddenly accelerated, and Shi Likang was so frightened that he lay down on Shi Lijia's body and hugged him tightly, not letting go.
☆, execute family rules
What relieved Shi Lixu a little was that when Shi Lijia came back, although he looked at him with the same impatience as before, he didn't directly make himself look bad. Xu blinked.Shi Lixu waved his hand at him, feeling relieved in his heart.
However, since I have already started to prepare to leave, I will naturally not stop. In addition, because of Shi Lijia's return, my daily routine teaching is also cancelled, so that the time I can prepare is relatively short of what I expected For those in the middle, it should be much more generous.
Now my identity as a demon cultivator cannot be revealed, so I can only survive outside the world with ordinary people's methods, neither the Qiankun ring nor spells can be used.And you can't bring too much money with you, he knows the truth about the innocent and the guilty.
Shi Lijia's abnormal behavior made the children of the family confused. They didn't target Shi Lixu everywhere as before, but they still didn't show Shi Lixu a good face. They really didn't know how to deal with it. Choose to wait and see.
After staying for more than half a month without incident, Shi Lixu left Shi's house alone to go to the town to buy some medicines for emergencies.
And Shi Lijia in the family looked at the letter paper in his hand and frowned. After more than half a month, he finally found out the news and Aunt Fang cried in front of him. He finally knew that Shi Lixu and Ye Mingnan were there. What an eyesore the Shi family is.
No matter whether Kangdi really likes Shi Lixu or not, Shi Lijia will not allow this kind of thing to happen.
A fire was born on Shi Lijia's fingers, slowly burning the letter paper to ashes, and then walked out of the room.
"Ye Mingnan, I heard that you are Shi Lixu's younger brother. He has taught you a lot. Today I will be a teacher and give you some pointers."
"No need, thank you."
Shi Lijia knew that Ye Mingnan would not agree, and it was the same personality as what Aunt Fang said, even if it wasn't so what, an ordinary person picked up from trash is just an ant-like existence, even if he doesn't find a reason, he can teach him a lesson. What's more, there are ready-made reasons in front of me.
"You hid pretty fast." Shi Lijia withdrew his hand. This kid's reaction speed and positioning accuracy are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even the disciples with high aptitude in Wu Zongmen can't match. Sure enough, tigers are still infested?
Ye Mingnan didn't want to have more disputes with him, so he turned and left, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, Ye Mingnan took a step back, and said with a smile: "You are a cultivator, I am an ordinary person, and you are older than me, Is this bullying the weak or the big bullying the small?"
"I just wanted to give you some pointers."
Ye Mingnan looked at the young man's eyes firmly. His eyes were firm, but his obsession was too deep. It seemed that if he didn't agree, he would keep pestering him endlessly. He could only grit his teeth and nodded, "I hope you will be merciful."
Shi Lijia's eyes sank, he waved his sleeves, bent down suddenly, and swept towards Ye Mingnan's lower body with the sound of hunting wind.Ye Mingnan, who had been on guard for a long time, let out a soft drink, quickly walked away with small steps, looked to the right, and then turned to the stone pillar and ran. The momentum was coming from top to bottom, and it was too late to dodge at this time, Ye Mingnan suddenly raised his left hand to take the blow with his elbow, and then used his strength to retreat in the opposite direction.
Who knows that Shi Lijia is chasing after him, no matter how many ways Ye Mingnan has to get out of this small body, he can't use it. He can only resist at the speed of Shi Lijia, and the attacks are densely packed like meteors. After piled up, Ye Mingnan, who is as sensitive as Ye Mingnan, also missed a little bit. Just when Ye Mingnan was about to mobilize the spiritual energy inside his body to resist, the attack receded like a tide.
Shi Lijia, who was standing opposite, looked a little pale. Ye Mingnan's consciousness sensed the disorder of his breath, and he thought that this matter would be over.As a cultivator, Shi Lijia was able to use martial arts to such an extent that he was worthy of the title of great disciple. He didn't use a trace of spiritual energy, so he didn't have much hostility.Ye Mingnan made a bow and said, "Much—"
"No, I just ask if you are a child of the Shi family or not?"
"I didn't join the Shi family." Ye Mingnan didn't plan to join the Shi family to guard the so-called family property for the Shi family, and Shi Lixu never mentioned it, so joining the Shi family is naturally out of the question.
"Hmph," Shi Lijia sneered, then turned his head to the people who were watching the excitement, "You said, what is the record in the family rules for secretly teaching non-family children high-level martial arts?"
"Uh..." The man took out a book from his body, licked his fingers and began to turn it up, "The light ones can be whipped twenty times, and the severe ones can be kicked out of the house without all their martial arts."
"What do you mean?" Ye Mingnan's voice became sharp when he heard this sentence.
"What's your name? This is just Shi Lixu's punishment..."
"I learned it secretly, don't care about other things." Ye Mingnan replied without thinking.
Shi Lijia lowered his head and laughed softly, and said in his own voice: "I would like to see how this family waste can be protected by others. Kangdi is like this, and this Ye Mingnan is also like this."
There are family rules in the family, Ye Mingnan never expected that Shi Lixu would teach him advanced martial arts that cannot be passed on from the family. Although it is not correct in the overall situation, but being able to treat him like this makes him feel that he is taken seriously by others. I feel that, no matter what, Shi Lixu can no longer be stimulated now, and any event may become an opportunity for Shi Lixu to embark on the road of cultivating demons.
"What if you learn martial arts secretly?"
"Oh, this, lashing with thirty lashes will destroy all martial skills."
Shi Lijia licked his upper lip, and said: "I think you are still young, and you are also a plastic talent. You went to the execution hall to receive the thirty big whips by yourself, and let you keep all your martial arts."
Ye Mingnan's hands tightened and then loosened and tightened again. He was the proud son of heaven at home. Although he had suffered a lot of beatings, he had never suffered this kind of punishment. Finally, the moment when Shi Lixu pinched his face flashed through his mind. Ye Mingnan took a deep breath and smiled forcefully, "Yes."
Standing in the center of the torture hall, the child's white upper body is bare, but the outline of the muscles can be seen slightly, the feet are shoulder-width apart, and after stabilizing his lower body, he clenched his fists: " bring it on."
Crack, crack, crack sounded, accompanied by the small muffled hum of the child.
Red marks gradually appeared on his back, with shallow water marks.
One, two, three...
Gradually, the child's back began to bleed, and it was not just a red mark, but the flesh and blood turned outward slightly, and the whip was filled with salt water, which doubled the burning pain on the back.Beads of sweat rolled down from his head, and the sweat from the pain on his back added fuel to the flames. The child took a deep breath and mobilized the wood-type spiritual energy in his body to repair it. There is not much wood-type spiritual energy stored, and the pain diverts his attention, so it doesn't help much.
When the last whip came down, Ye Mingnan relaxed, but because of the force of the whip, he staggered a few steps forward. He leaned on the wall of the execution hall, took deep breaths time and time again to adjust his heart, and waited for a stronger one. Time, turn around and get the coat on the bench.
"Boy, I didn't expect you to be quite stubborn. Everyone who came in and received a few whips was crying. I didn't expect you didn't even yell."
At this time, Shi Lixu didn't even have the strength to laugh, so he took his clothes and walked outside step by step.
"Are you okay?" Unexpectedly, Shi Likang was the first one who came to express condolences.
"Do you have any medicine?" He spat out these words with some difficulty.
"Yes, you go to my room first, and I will help you with the medicine."
Ye Mingnan knew that Shi Likang and Shi Lijia were on good terms, but seeing his clear eyes, he decided to trust him once and nodded.
Shi Likang hastily pulled Ye Mingnan's arm around his neck, and was about to put his arms around Ye Mingnan's waist to carry him away. As soon as he touched his waist, he heard Ye Mingnan gasp. He couldn't stop apologizing, and then held him up. Back in his room, he asked Ye Mingnan to lie on his bed, took out Jinchuang medicine from his exclusive medicine cabinet, and saw Ye Mingnan's bloody back, and prepared to sprinkle it on it.
"Wait, are you trying to hurt me to death?"
"I, I, I haven't seen such a large-scale injury, I don't know." Shi Likang's voice trembled, it sounded as if he had been injured himself.
"Go and wipe it with water first, remember not to touch the wound with a towel."
Finally, after Shi Likang stumbled and wiped his back, Ye Mingnan reckoned that he would have fainted if he hadn't had enough concentration. At this time, Shi Lixu should have returned, so he could only urge, "Quickly sprinkle the medicine."
The pain of Jinchuang medicine powder touching the wound is no less than sprinkling salt on the wound, but Ye Mingnan gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound in front of Shi Likang, but when Shi Likang moved his face closer, he looked like he was about to cry look.
"what happened to you?"
"It hurts just looking at it... don't blame Brother Lijia."
"Don't tell your brother about this."
"Brother Xu?"
Although he really didn't want to hear Shi Likang call Shi Lixu that way, he still said "En".
knock knock knock.
"Who?"
"I."
Shi Likang's eyes widened, he turned around and asked in a low voice what should I do?Unexpectedly, Ye Mingnan had already covered himself under the quilt, Shi Likang didn't know how to put his hands down, and with a constipated expression, he muttered in a low voice: "It doesn't hurt, oops, my quilt must be covered in blood today."
"Shi Likang?"
"Yes, I'll open the door right away." Shi Likang ran over and opened the door.
"Is Mingnan here with you?"
"No, no no no no... not here."
Shi Lixu pursed his lips and walked inside, but was stopped by Shi Likang.
The smile on Shi Likang's face froze: "Brother Xu, I haven't cleared my room today, come to play next time."
"Kang'er, get out of the way."
"Oh, good." Hearing Shi Lixu call him that, Shi Likang was elated, and moved away involuntarily.
Shi Lixu came to the bed and looked at Ye Mingnan, who only showed a cheerful smile, and sat by the bed without saying a word.
"Brother? I want to live with Shi Likang recently."
Smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, Shi Lixu frowned and lifted the quilt.
"Gently."
"Shi Lijia did it?"
"No, I accidentally—"
"He ordered it?"
"its mine……"
"Yes or no?"
"Yes." Ye Mingnan wanted to say something more, but Shi Lixu had already left the door.
Shi Lijia didn't expect that I still thought too well, Shi Lixu clenched his fists, he now feels a fire burning in his chest, burning his own reason, he just wants to make Shi Lijia pay the price .
☆、Let’s go to Bai Ancient City
At the back of the Shi Family Martial Arts Field is a martial arts arena that is only open for family competitions. Now that Shi Lijia is back, this place is naturally used as a place for Shi Lijia to practice on a daily basis.
"Are you here?" The young man standing in the center of the martial arts stage turned around slowly, and raised his jaw slightly, "Isn't this place inaccessible to ordinary people? Disgusting privilege? From entering the family's high-level place to bringing back a child who secretly learned martial arts?"
Shi Lixu took a long breath, jumped onto the martial arts stage, and slowly approached Shi Lijia, and said in a hoarse voice: "I just want to ask, did you cause the whip wound on Ye Mingnan's back?"
"So what if it is, so what if it's not? When will it be your turn to question me? Not to mention the family rules, even if I kill him, no one can say anything."
"Hahahahahaha," Shi Lixu turned his head up and laughed, his eyes were slightly red when he looked down at Shi Lijia, and he pulled out the black iron rod he had prepared on the road from behind, "Are you serious?" Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Oh? You look like you want to fight me?" Shi Lijia couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself that someone can really be so arrogant.
Shi Lixu didn't waste any more words, he raised the iron rod and attacked Shi Lijia.
Shi Lijia raised his long sword, and only heard the sound of steel hitting, both of them were shocked to take a few steps back. Shi Lijia looked at his slightly reddened tiger's mouth, and knew that he had underestimated this pseudo-spiritual root He stretched out his spare left hand and squeezed a tactic, only to see golden flames spraying out around the long sword, and layers of mist were released around it.
"I didn't expect such a mean person to have pure Gang Jinyan." Shi Lixu said softly, tightening the iron rod in his hand. If you are careful, you can find that the surroundings of the black rod have become less blurred, like It is like ripples and spreads out layer by layer. He knows the difference between the energy gathering period and the consecration period, but based on his previous life experience, there is no chance of winning.
Counting the toes, Shi Lixu bounced upwards, and after turning over, he grabbed the black stick with both hands and threw it at the release stand.The strength brought out the howling wind, Shi Lijia shouted loudly, lowered his body into a horse stance, squeezed the hilt of the sword with both hands, and raised the long sword vigorously to block Shi Lixu's blow.
The two remained in a stalemate, but their strength was evenly matched.
Seeing that his Pure Gang Jin Yan did not burn the opponent's weapon, but instead became much lighter, Shi Lijia was horrified, stepped back and looked at Shi Lixu warily.
"Where did you get this black stick?"
Naturally, Shi Lijia couldn't feel the devilish energy in Shi Lixu's body, and Shi Lixu had covered it up with his spiritual consciousness, so that there was no aura of a cultivator in his body.Of course, Shi Lijia didn't know the function of Shi Lixu's water system spiritual root.
Shi Lixu still didn't say a word, just stared at Shi Lijia, his eyes were red but neither sad nor happy, as if he was looking at something other than a living thing.After waiting for a while, Shi Lixu moved, but his movements were like ghosts and ghosts, only layers of black shadows could be seen.
"Qingchen Sword!" Shi Lijia's expression changed drastically, and the other long sword behind his back was unsheathed and came into Shi Lijia's hands. Run to the right in the gap, "Return the Qingchen Sword!"
He quickly took out a talisman from the Qiankun bag, and made a formula: "Broken—"
Seeing the flames bursting in the air, Shi Lixu's body froze, his whole body flew backwards, and then he fell to the ground suddenly: "cough cough cough..."
Shi Lixu wiped away the blood from his mouth with his thumb, covered his chest and coughed violently. He actually counted out that there were not many life-saving charms on the disciples of a big sect.
"Oh, I still wasted a blasting talisman." Shi Lijia was shocked when he saw that he had forced himself to this point, and he hid it so deeply that it seemed impossible to get rid of it. Shi Lixu.
Seeing the long sword stabbing towards him, Shi Lixu was about to bite his tongue to demonize, but he saw a figure block the attack, and he was caught in the waist and flew out to the martial arts stage, and the scenery around him quickly retreated .
"I ask you not to provoke Shi Lijia, but you just don't listen."
"Cough cough cough, thank you senior for saving me." Shi Lixu knew that it was the old man in Zangshu Pavilion who saved him, and he was very grateful. The old man was not an ordinary person, but now he was walking directly in the air. The cultivation base of the heart-beating period, but I don't know that I can be subservient to the old man of the Shi family as a janitor.
"Your family's doll is already in the carriage. I will send you there. The carriage goes directly to Baigu City, where the Zongmen's enrollment will be held soon. If you are interested, you can try it. The old man is preparing in the carriage." You have saved some money, alas, old man, I don’t have a lot of monthly silver, and you have all been taken away by you, a dead baby. After you have something to do, you will have to return it to me a thousand times.”
"Thank you, senior." Shi Lixu didn't know what he should say now, and his heart was a little moved.
"Yes, thank you for your kindness. You have to live in the future, otherwise you will waste the old man's money."
"kindness."
When they came to the place, the groom on the carriage hurriedly opened the curtain, and the old man threw Shi Lixu inside.
Shi Lixu, who hit the seat, coughed a few more times, but before he could stabilize, he only heard the neighing of the horse, and galloped away, while Shi Lixu lay on the ground directly.
"Brother you..."
"Lie down on it and don't move." Seeing Ye Mingnan who was lying on the soft couch struggling to get up, Shi Lixu hurriedly scolded, "I, I think the ground is very cool, let me lie down for a while."
Ye Mingnan obediently obeyed, his back really moved every time he moved, and asked carefully: "Brother, where are we going?"
"We can't stay in Shi's house anymore."
"...Did you go to see Shi Lijia just now?"
"We are going to Baigu City."
"Brother, did you lose?" Ye Mingnan wanted to tease Shi Lixu because he saw that Shi Lixu didn't have much to worry about.
"After that, it's time to find a sect to learn from a teacher."
"Is there any serious injury?"
"Then, where is the senior's money?"
Ye Mingnan secretly smiled, took out a small bundle from the pillow and gave it to Shi Lixu.
Shi Lixu opened the bag, his face was darkened when he saw that there was a 200 taels of silver bills, and then he began to count the number of copper plates, one thousand pieces was exactly ten taels of silver, plus scattered pieces of silver, it added up. There are 50 taels.Then he opened the letter, which read:
You and Ye Mingnan are still young, so it is not appropriate to carry too much money with you. There have been many cases of murder and robbery. There are still a few sets of simple clothes in the closet. You must remember not to leak your money. After arriving in Baigu City, you must find a way to make money. And let others know.
Because the speed of the carriage was faster than usual, and Baigu City was not too far away, it took a month to reach the gate of the city. Shi Lixu pulled Ye Mingnan out of the carriage.
"Hey, wait!"
Shi Lixu turned around and looked at the groom with some doubts.
"Why are you like this? You said that you will add 200 taels of silver to me after the delivery is expedited."
Shi Lixu was a little annoyed, and before he could say anything, Ye Mingnan took out the banknotes in the bag and gave them to the groom.
"Small ones are more sensible than big ones." The groom stuffed the banknote into his arms, got into the carriage and drove away.
"We only have copper coins left." Ye Mingnan pulled away the small bundle on his chest, and looked at Shi Lixu with a pitiful face.
Shi Lixu suppressed his temper, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Then why do you still pay him?"
"But when others do things for you, isn't it only natural for you to give them corresponding rewards?"
"Remember, there is nothing just and right in this world. If you force yourself, it is the rule."
"Brother, you can't think like this. If people who are stronger than you think like this, can ordinary people in the world still live?"
"Do you care about the life and death of ants on the ground all the time?"
"..."
"Okay, let's go to town."
Shi Lixu took the burden on Ye Mingnan's chest and said, "I can't let you manage the money anymore."
"..."
"Wait, do you have a sign?"
"No."
"Oh, the kids are a tael of silver each."
Silently counting two taels of silver and giving it to the guards, Shi Lixu took Ye Mingnan into the city with his only 48 taels of silver in his pocket.
"Brother, why did you give them money?"
"This is the rule of entering the city."
"Why are you talking about the rules now?"
"Because... I can't beat them now."
"Brother, do you think you can beat that groom?"
"you shut up."
"Okay." Ye Mingnan made a grimace and obediently walked down the street with Shi Lixu.
first dispute
"Mingnan, hunch your back a little bit."
"why?"
"With our outstanding temperament, we will definitely be targeted when we walk in the city."
Ye Mingnan covered his face silently, he suddenly felt that he had never understood Shi Lixu in his previous life.
The two came to a small inn, asked about the Zongmen's recruitment, and then called a herringbone room, and the two went in with their luggage.
I paid 30 taels of silver as a deposit just now, and now the only thing left on the two of them is mostly copper plates, and the registration of the sect in the near future will require silver taels. not much.
"Brother, we have no money."
Shi Lixu patted Ye Mingnan's head and said, "You stay here first, I'll go out and meet."
"Oh."
After finishing speaking, Shi Lixu went out, leaving Ye Mingnan alone in the room.
Ye Mingnan squeezed his hand, suppressed his desire to go out and follow Shi Lixu, and quickly began to adjust his inner breath.He didn't know what was wrong with him. Ever since he knew that Shi Lixu had met Little Leopard, he was sometimes in a state of anxiety. Shi Lixu was his savior in both generations, and he chose to help him now out of love. Yu Li.
But he found that he became a little strange, he didn't like to see Shi Lixu being alone with others, he didn't want Shi Lixu to show a different expression to other people, although this was his original intention, it was really strange .He likes the feeling when he makes physical contact with Shi Lixu, as if his whole world brightens up.
"I am back."
Ye Mingnan adjusted his expression and waved to Shi Lixu with a smile.
"I went to ask the shopkeeper just now, and they happen to be short of a dish washer, one tael of silver a month, which is quite a lot."
"Huh? Is brother going to wash the dishes?"
"No, I'm definitely going to do the hard work. You can wash the dishes with the second brother tomorrow."
"……it is good."
This is the first time for the two of them to go out, obviously a little excited, Ye Mingnan put his arms around Shi Lixu's waist, and whispered: "Brother, I can't sleep."
"Well, I have a little too."
"Let me talk to you."
"Aren't you talking now?"
"Then I'll start talking..."
"Aren't you talking?"
"Don't interrupt me!"
Seeing Ye Mingnan's embarrassed look, Shi Lixu laughed, touched Ye Mingnan's face and said, "Speak, I'll listen."
"A person is holding a cup and pouring very hot tea into it, can he still hold it?"
"Is he a cultivator? If so, he should be able to hold on."
"No."
"Then it should fall to the ground."
"Yeah, everything in the world is like this, let it go when it hurts."
Shi Lixu, who was patted on the back by Ye Mingnan, stood up, looked down at the child's hair, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The so-called state-owned state law, the family has family rules, Shi Lijia is to act according to the family rules, brother does not have to keep it in mind, it will only increase hatred."
"Do you remember what you just asked?"
"remember."
"What if I say I don't want to be an ordinary person?"
"elder brother……"
"Mingnan, I don't want to talk about him now, okay?" Shi Lixu sighed, turned his back to Ye Mingnan, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep first."
Ye Mingnan looked at Shi Lixu's vest and felt a little uncomfortable. Naturally, he criticized Shi Lijia thousands of times in his heart. After finally making Shi Lixu's thoughts more righteous, now there is hatred hidden in his heart.
"Brother, don't do this." Ye Mingnan pushed Shi Lixu silently, but he didn't expect Shi Lixu's reaction to be a little big, so he turned over and sat up, pinching his face and moving his own closer.
"That's right, it wasn't me who was whipped, and it wasn't me who was poisoned to death? Why should I hate him? No matter what, it's the glory of my family, the hope of my family. Why should I do it for someone who has nothing to do with me?" To resent him? Sleep!"
After finishing speaking, Shi Lixu turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes, and said, "Go to bed first, I'll go out and be alone for a while."
Ye Mingnan watched Shi Lixu open the door and leave, but all the words were choked in his throat. He didn't know who was poisoned to death. He knew that Shi Lixu felt sorry for him, but when he heard with his own ears that Shi Lixu When he said "it doesn't matter" from his mouth, it seemed that his whole heart was pulled.
