Chapter 163 The Li Family
The Li family occupies a huge area and has a large population.Moreover, these people have rough skin and thick hands and feet. They look like they are living at sea.

Coupled with the implied toughness of these people, it can be seen that none of them are pure crew members.

Li Tan said with a smile: "The sea is very risky. There are not only pirates and Japanese pirates, but also giant beasts and goblins. If you don't have some skills, you really can't survive."

He didn't shy away from these things, and after walking a few steps, he passed a family temple.A family temple is a private temple of a family, a temple where outsiders are generally not allowed to worship.

But this family temple is different, he does not enshrine his ancestors, but enshrines the Queen of Heaven.

Li Tan also explained: "Originally my family wanted to build a Tianhou Empress Palace in the city, but the big households and Jinshan Temple in the city did not allow it, so I had to build it in my own home."

The Li family is a maritime merchant, so it's normal to pay homage to the Queen of Heaven.However, if his family wants to promote this belief in Gaotang County, it will directly hit Jinshan Temple in the face, which is impossible!

Even if it is enforced by the government, the big households here and Jinshan Temple will strongly oppose it, not to mention that the Li family is just a rich sea merchant.

It is not allowed to share the incense, and the monks of Jinshan Temple absolutely cannot allow it.

"Brother Zhang, since you're here, why not offer a stick of incense." Li Tan said with a smile.

Naturally, Zhang Wei is all right, Tianhou Empress is a Taoist god, although the Buddhists very much want to abduct her to the Buddhist side, Tianhou Empress clearly stated that she believes in it.

The Empress of the Li family is a statue carved from white jade. The Li family deserves to be a big merchant, but they are rich.This one-foot-tall Queen of Heaven statue has a shining divine light on its surface, which is obviously magical.

Li Tan said: "This statue was specially invited from the main court of Meizhou, but it has the divine sense of the empress to pay attention to."

Zhang Wei also nodded, then lit a stick of incense from the incense table, and bowed respectfully.

At this time, he keenly felt that the god had a divine sense sweeping over him.He couldn't help being surprised, this Li family doesn't look simple, it seems to be the dependents of the empress, this statue is not just as simple as having a trace of divine sense, some special Tianhou empress temples may not allow the empress to watch like this.

Zhang Wei respectfully bowed to the statue again, this is a great god!
At this time, a woman hurriedly came from outside. She glanced at the two people in the temple and said in surprise, "Brother, who is this? Why did you bring him here?"

When his elder brother saw this person, he immediately explained: "Sister, this is Zhang Wei from Eshan. He is a new friend of my elder brother. He is here as a guest."

The girl looked Zhang Wei up and down, and said: "Even if you are a guest, you shouldn't bring it to the family temple."

Li Tan didn't dare to talk back, but said with a smile: "Sister, although this is a family temple, the empress is not the empress of our family, so it's okay for someone to pay homage to her."

When the woman heard Li Tan say this, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's forget it this time. Let's not make an example."

After finishing speaking, she meant to drive away the guests.

Li Tan hurriedly pulled Zhang Wei away, and then said: "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, my sister is the host appointed by the mother, and she has the final say on matters in this temple."

Tianhou Empress prefers to use female temple blessings because of her gender.

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "It's okay."

After walking for a while, I passed a large school yard.A group of people are practicing sparring with long knives in the school field.This time Li Tan did not introduce, but hurried past with Zhang Wei.

But Zhang Wei could tell at a glance that these people were walking in an orderly manner, with divine light in their eyes, they were definitely not ordinary guards.

Finally, Zhang Wei arrived at a small courtyard, and then Li Tan said: "Brother Zhang, take a rest, I'll go and say hello to my mother first."

Zhang Wei nodded understandingly, Li Tan naturally wanted to talk to his family about his sudden visit.

So Zhang Wei rested in the courtyard.Li Tan walked through the hall and school grounds and came to the main courtyard.

Li Tan's old father is now working hard at sea with his clansmen, and the family affairs are naturally decided by the mistress.

Li Tan's mother, surnamed Lin, is about 40 years old. From the marks on her face and thick hands and feet, it can be seen that she is not a pampered lady, but a person who has lived at sea.

At this time, in Li Tan's mother's room.Li Tan's younger sister, Li Shoujing, the host of the family temple, was also in the house.

To be honest, the name Li Shoujing does not seem like a woman's name, but in the Li family, this name is not trivial.

Li Tan greeted his mother first, and then talked about Zhang Wei.

"His name is Zhang Wei. Mother, you don't know. He is very famous in Eshan. Not only is he a young man, but he also went into the cave of the tiger demon to save his mother, and rescued his mother from the thousands of demons."

When his mother Lin heard this, she became a little interested and said, "What's going on?"

Li Tan talked about the deeds in the mansion newspaper, and at this time, Li Shoujing said: "So that's the case, mother, do you remember that the dharma body of the empress went to Mount Eshan last year, it should be this matter."

Mrs. Lin finally nodded, and said: "So it's about this matter, and the empress is not willing to talk about it."

As soon as the two parties confirmed it, Mother Lin said: "Since he is a filial son, please treat him well, and don't lose etiquette."

Li Tan nodded and said, "I know."

At this time, Mother Lin began to ask Li Shoujing: "Then what happened to Water Dragon Bodhisattva, can you find out?"

Li Shoujing said: "It's really not clear. A little boss has been found, but he died inexplicably!"

Mrs. Lin shook her head and said, "It's so difficult to spread the gospel of my mother, but this inexplicable Water Dragon Bodhisattva is so simple? The old monk of Jinshan Temple didn't respond?"

"The monks of Jinshan Temple are very silent on this matter, and I don't know why."

"Then what about the tea boat we overturned? There are [-] dans of tea on it, so the Dragon Clan doesn't say anything?"

"Mother, the Dragon Clan tried their best to deny that they did this, which also made my daughter very angry."

"These worms are really rude! Don't be afraid that our Tianhou Palace will attack their Crystal Palace again!"

"Mom, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is no better than the Dragon King of the South China Sea. The Dragon Clan of the East China Sea is so powerful that we really can't move."

"That's because without our empress, with my empress, sooner or later, the East China Sea Dragon Palace will be a dragon with its tail between its legs."

After talking for a while, Mrs. Lin finally sighed and said, "The north is really no better than the south. It is too difficult to preach here!"

Li Tan also smiled wryly and said: "There are many people in the north, there are also many Taoist sects, and there are also many monks. There are too many monks and too little porridge, so it is naturally difficult to deal with."

Lin thought for a while, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I'll stop here today, you guys go down."

The two siblings saluted and said goodbye.

When it was time for dinner, Zhang Wei was invited to the Li family's family banquet.

At the family banquet, apart from Li Lin who was sitting first, there were also a group of uncles and brothers from the Li family.Dozens of people sat on a long table, and the table was covered with all kinds of food. Everyone sat together, eating and drinking, quite in the style of a cottage Juyitang.

Zhang Wei also met Li Lin's family here. The Li family is different from other families. It seems that women have a higher status.In their family, not only the woman sits at the top, but even their daughter Li Shoujing sits at the second seat. As the eldest son of the Li family, Li Tan can only sit three seats.

Li Lin said a few polite words to Zhang Wei, and then ate on his own. This family doesn't pay attention to eating without talking, and they should talk or talk.

Zhang Wei, a new friend, was also taken care of.

Many people came to him for a drink.

"Brother's surname is Zhang? Come and drink one!"

"Brother's surname is Zhang? My woman's surname is also Zhang! Don't drink one!"

"Brother's surname is Zhang? It's a pity that my surname is not Zhang, otherwise I would have to drink two! Come on, take one!"

The members of the Li family were listless, and they had various reasons for drinking, and they all had to leave anyway.

Li Shoujing, who was opposite Zhang Wei, watched all this with great interest. Finally, she picked up a big bowl and came to Zhang Wei's side and said, "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry at the family temple today. Yes, you can do whatever you want!"

She was thin and small, but she was full of pride and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Zhang Wei looked at his small wine glass, and quickly changed to a larger one, saying, "I don't dare to take it, I'll accompany one too!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, Zhang Wei felt a little tipsy.Even if you have mana, but drinking like this, it's too late to hangover!
It took more than an hour for this meal.When everyone finished, except for Li Lin who no one dared to drink, everyone else walked crookedly.

But they still smiled and said: "It's still comfortable to drink, this feels like being on a boat, it's all swaying!"

Everyone laughed loudly, but it was true. Although they walked crookedly, their legs were extremely stable.

Zhang Wei was also seven points drunk at this time, and fell asleep when he returned to the room.

I don't know how long he slept, but Zhang Wei was suddenly awakened by the sound of killing.

He shook his head, the wine didn't dissipate, and he was still a little dizzy.

So he said very angrily: "Who is it! That bastard disturbs people's dreams?!"

After he finished speaking, he got out of bed and opened the door.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly came to kill him.

The black figure had a green face and fangs, holding a trident in his hand, and stabbed towards Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei was startled by this.Subconsciously, he yelled violently: "Shoot!"

The sword pill in his throat was spit out by him, and it immediately turned into a long sword and stabbed at the monster in front of him.

The speed of his sword pill was much faster than that of the monster. The monster was split in half in an instant, and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.

Zhang Wei was a little sober now. He took a closer look and saw that the sky of the Li family was covered by thick dark clouds, and monsters with green faces and fangs rushed out of the dark clouds.

These things are not monsters, more like a kind of ghosts.A cross between a goblin and a ghost.

At this time, he heard shouts of killing not far away, the sound of water waves sounded, and a soft shout came: "Waves Breaker! Charge me!"

With a cry from her, suddenly dozens of men in blue robes and holding long knives leaped onto the wall and roof. The long knives in their hands shone with azure blue light, and they slashed at the ghosts in the sky.

These soldiers in blue robes were wrapped in the water waves, their eyes glowed with light blue light, and their strong bodies erupted with great strength.They jumped three feet high, and the swords in their hands were as fast as lightning. Every time a demon was chopped down by the sword.

At this time, the ghosts in the sky also rushed towards Zhang Wei.Holding the Qingfeng sword in his hand, Zhang Wei looked at the huge number of ghosts in the sky, smiled, and swallowed the Qingfeng sword again.

He shook his body, and the blue-white electric light suddenly covered his whole body, especially the palms of his hands, where a large amount of electric light gathered.

The blue and white electric lights gathered in his hands, making a 'sizzling' sound, which was the sound of electric lights breaking through the air.

At this time, a female voice came over: "Brother Zhang, don't be afraid, I'm coming!"

While speaking, a blue energy erupted, and the energy condensed into the appearance of a blue whale, leaping up from the ground.

Whale leaps into the sea, water splashes!
This vigor turned into tens of thousands of waves and shot in all directions, like a flower blooming.

The ghosts hit by Qi Jin died one after another, and the sky became clear.

But at this time, the dark clouds in the sky released more ghosts.

It's endless!

Zhang Wei smiled, and said loudly: "Xiaosheng has his own means to save his life, and he doesn't need the protection of a young lady." He drank alcohol, and at this time his mind was a little unclear, and his tone of speech became frivolous.

But the next moment, Zhang Wei pushed his hand forward, and two huge bolts of lightning struck the sky.

There were 'cracking' electric lights screaming, and 'booming' thunder sounds.

Zhang Wei jumped suddenly, stepped on the stone tables and chairs in the courtyard, and jumped towards the wall with his strength, while the lightning in his hand continued to hit the ghost in the sky.

Other people's palm lightning is one by one, but because Zhang Wei's power is too strong and the battery life is too high, his palm lightning has turned into something like a lightning whip!

Leaping up towards the sky, he swung the lightning whip in his hand, and the sky was lit up by the lightning, showing Li Shoujing's stunned look.

Too bad you can't fly!Otherwise it would be even more perfect!

Zhang Wei thought in his heart, and then fell from the sky.It landed beside Li Shoujing.

After being hit by the blue whale's energy, and now being struck by Zhang Wei's palm thunder, the dark cloud fell silent for a while, and suddenly released a large number of ghosts.

Zhang Wei looked at this scene with a frown, and said: "This thing seems to be endless, and it should be because we haven't grasped the key."

Li Shoujing, who was beside her, was relieved when she heard what he said. She said, "This is like the Dragon Clan's sea-patrolling Yaksha formation. There should be an eye for the formation."

Zhang Wei frowned, he was not familiar with the formation.

At this time, Li Shoujing shouted: "Li Wangyuan, have you figured out where the formation is located?"

At this time, a person suddenly ran over, holding a compass in his hand, and said: "According to the technique of crossing the ocean, this eye is in the position of the South Dipper."

After speaking, he pointed to a place.

Li Shoujing looked there and said with a smile: "Okay, watch me break the formation!"

After her words fell, someone pushed out a huge crossbow from the room.There are four wheels under this crossbow, and the arms are more than one foot long, and the iron arrow on the top is one foot long.

"Okay, Wang Yuan, adjust your direction!" Li Shoujing said.

Li Wangyuan beside him immediately began to adjust the crossbow, while Li Shoujing began to prepare with luck.
