Chapter 176 Yuanxiu Sacrifice
"Report!"

A clan soldier hurried into the yard, entered the back hall, announced in front of the door, and hurriedly knelt down.

"Come in."

A boy's voice came from the hall, clear and upturned, with a sense of relaxation unique to this age.

The soldiers of that tribe entered the back hall, offered the small letter in their hands to the hand of Li Pingyi who was coming up, and said in a deep voice:
"Jingyang Town reports."

Li Yuanxiu read the little letter and murmured:
"The fourth son of the Tian family had an argument with the son of the Liu family on the streets of Jingyang Town. They fought and knocked out three of the teeth of the son of the Liu family... After learning about it, the Liu family was indignant and wrote to his aunt overnight, seeking justice."

Li Yuanxiu pinched this little letter, a little dumbfounded. Uncle Li Tongya's wife is from the Liu family, so the Liu family is considered to have status in the towns. Although the Tian family has no backing, there are several Tian family members who hold real power. The two families were arguing endlessly, and they brought the lawsuit to Liu Rouxuan.

"Sure enough, it's nothing serious. I can't handle such a trivial matter, so I'll report it."

"Can you stop that person?"

Li Pingyi asked a question, Li Yuanxiu waved his hand and said softly:

"No need."

In his heart, he underestimated the person in charge of the Liu family. Li Yuanxiu could have stopped the person who reported it, but did not do so out of respect for his elders.

Not long after, another group of soldiers entered the courtyard, and Li Yuanxiu asked without raising his head:
"How did Auntie react?"

The clan soldiers were stunned, never thinking that Li Yuanxiu already knew what he was going to report, swallowed the long words in his mouth, and said succinctly:
"The person from the Liu family handed over the letter, but my lord suppressed the letter and said nothing..."

Li Yuanxiu nodded slightly, pondered for a while on the letter in front of him, raised the brush, wrote a reading word, and continued to write:

"Tian's son is transferred to the Qingwu Mine Lode for a three-year term."

Liu Rouxuan's reaction to receiving the letter was not to reprimand her clansmen for provoking trouble, but to suppress it silently. Li Yuanxiu knew that his aunt was a little dissatisfied with Tian's move, and he was just thinking about the old love of his third aunt Tian Yun and refused to make a move. Knowing the elder's attitude at the moment, he punished Tian a little bit, and then said to Li Pingyi who was next:

"Call a member of the clan with a younger generation and beat the person in charge of the Liu family. How dare you report this kind of embarrassing little thing to the elders? I don't know the severity!"

"Yes!"

Li Pingyi responded in a low voice, and suddenly pricked up his ears. Li Yuanxiu also sensed something was wrong, and raised his head to look outside the courtyard.

"Clang clang..."

There was a clanging sound of weapons hitting the ground, and all the clan soldiers outside the courtyard lowered their heads and half knelt down, and put the weapons in their hands on the ground. A robust figure appeared from the open courtyard door like the wind, with calm eyes and long eyebrows. Tiancang, adding a bit of uninhibited color out of thin air.

The man carried a golden longbow engraved with patterns on his back, and held an astonishingly large sharp-billed dog in one hand, which was still creaking. The man entered the yard by himself, smiling and looking at Li Yuan who was standing above him. build.

The clan soldiers in the back hall were all old housekeepers, so they naturally recognized the man in front of them, and immediately knelt down on the ground, laying down their swords and soldiers to show their respect.

Although Li Pingyi couldn't recognize the person in front of him, he was horrified when he saw the iconic golden bow, and he knelt down, bowed his head and said in a respectful voice:

"Welcome Uncle Clan!"

Li Yuanxiu put the brush in his hand, hurried down, bowed his hands respectfully, bowed his head and said:

"Yuanxiu met Uncle Cong..."

"Hahaha."

Li Xuanfeng threw the two monsters to the ground with a plop, laughed loudly, carefully looked at Li Yuanxiu's appearance, and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have already become an adult. Xuanling told me that you are a handsome person, but I saw that you are handsome, handsome and intelligent, not bad, not bad!"

Li Yuanxiu smiled softly and replied:
"The family is still supported by a few elders. Xiu'er's little cleverness can't be put on the table. She just sorts out all the veins for the family."

Li Xuanfeng waved his hand, pointed to the two hyenas on the ground, and explained:

"The sacrifice is approaching. I caught these two monsters back and their cultivation has been sealed. You should prepare for the sacrifice. The second uncle and your father will probably not be able to come out because they are practicing in seclusion. You should arrange the location and leave the family affairs to is you."

"The boy knows."

Li Yuanxiu nodded solemnly, and then Li Xuanfeng smiled, asked him about his progress in cultivation, and seeing that he had no doubts about his cultivation, he went out.

Li Pingyi stared enviously at Li Xuanfeng who was going away, and said in a low voice:
"The uncle of the family has left the customs, and the family sacrifice has been settled."

"good."

Li Yuanxiu looked happy, and said softly:
"Invite a few elders from the family. You have to ask the elders about the sacrificial offering. It will be available at the end of this year."

----

The winter snow arrived on time, and the ice on the shore of the lake was tightly sealed. Every household at the foot of the mountain lit up the lamps as usual. The children worshiped the moon and played in front of the lamps.

Li Yuanxiu consulted the elders of the family and finished the sacrifice. The market on the street was crowded with people. Everyone looked at the two huge hyena monsters locked on the stone altar and whispered.

Lu Jiangxian's consciousness emerged from the mirror, looking at the noisy scenery down the mountain, the pale golden incense flowed out, like strands of golden silk flying and circling, all falling on his mirror.

"Time is like an arrow, three to five years is like a flick of a finger... Is this the longevity species?"

Lu Jiangxian stayed on the mountain for nearly 50 years. Watching Li Tongya cultivate Qi from a mortal, watching Li Xuanxuan grow from a naive child to the head of the family, watching the old man die and the child be born again, it can be said to be a lot of emotion.

There is no unusual time flow in the mirror. Lu Jiangxian has been studying witchcraft in the mirror for more than ten years, and his research on this has become more and more profound. The spells and spells he concocted can easily kill Qi training monks .

"coming."

On the stone platform built of bluestone in the center of Lijing Town, everyone prostrated themselves, and the sacrificial stone knives pierced the brains of the two hyena monsters, and the blood and energy rose up, combined with the diffuse incense, flowing out and pouring into the mirror.

"Here is the Li family of Lijing, who is devoutly provided with the ceremonies of drinking, eating, cold food and animal sacrifices. Every year, the incense is endless...the sacrifice is made of smoke, the salary is sacrificed with blood, and the gods bring blessings."

Lu Jiangxian stood on the top of the mountain in the mirror, wisps of gray aura emerged in his hand, carefully observed the changes in the aura, thought for a moment, then picked up the jade pot on the table with his right hand, separated half of the aura, and kept it for later Research.

The spiritual consciousness circled around the members of Yuanqing from the Li family below for a while, and Lu Jiangxian thought to himself:

"Lu Qi is said to be precious and precious, but to me it is a worthless thing. If it is given too frequently, it will appear worthless and not solemn enough."

Looking at the crowd below, Lu Jiangxian thought:

"In the future, each generation will only bestow one or two talismans. It is best to win by quality, and the excess talisman qi will be condensed into a talisman or stored."

"As for today's sacrifice...each person can only grant one talisman qi. If the talisman is given now, it will be just a gray talisman for practicing qi. It will not be too late in the past few years. When Li Tongya becomes a foundation, take it The foundation-building monster will give the foundation-building white talisman to the Li family of the Yuanqing generation."

After making up his mind, Lu Jiangxian activated the dharma mirror, condensing half of the talisman energy in his hand into a pill, and the blue-gray mirror in the stone room on the mountain floated up quietly and spit out six talisman pills with intricate patterns.
