Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 196 Grace and Enmity (Two in One)

The land of the mountains.

Shanyue is entrenched in the land of Wuyue and has its own customs. The population is scattered and separated, with a population of more than 100 million. The branch in the north of Lishan has more than [-] million people. It is protected by Duanmukui. Now that Duanmukui is dead, Wushan disciples may escape Traveling far away, or joining various sects, this place was divided up by Duanmukui's four disciples, who each whipped the people and built palaces, creating a turbulent scene.

Going deep into the northern vein, one can see a deep cave in the forest. In the cave lies a huge beast with ferocious mouth, covered with light yellow scales, and two brown eyeballs the size of a human head looking straight at it. There is no life in the air.

"Finally beheaded the beast."

Xiao Chuchou let out a long breath, took the elixir from Xiao Yuansi's hand, swallowed it with luck, his whole body relaxed immediately, and he felt much more comfortable. He sighed and said with a smile:

"Life is short, energy is weakened, not only slow in cultivation, but also clumsy in fighting. Thinking about how heroic I was when I jumped the long river north and traveled all over the land of Jin and Zhao, I became an old man in a blink of an eye."

Xiao Yuansi looked at him worriedly, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:

"Ancestor... the technique of blood sacrifice to prolong life passed down in the clan, you...you have to try it, and prolong your life for a few more years, and it will make your body feel better."

Xiao Chuchou sneered and replied:

"No need, my father fought with Chi Wei back then, and was sacrificed by Chi Wei's blood. He made an oath when he was young, and this life is incompatible with the way of sacrifice."

"Chi Wei... really is a devil."

Xiao Yuansi murmured in a voice of hatred, and his original gentle temperament was completely different. Xiao Chuchou was stunned when he saw it, and hesitatingly said:

"I know you hate him, but now is not the time to fight between immortals and demons. Good and evil are in chaos... Chi Wei is a villain, but he can't be called a demon."

"What good is he!"

Xiao Yuansi yelled angrily, never thought that Xiao Chuchou's expression was complicated, and said in a low voice:

"More than 150 years ago, I was still a small cultivator of fetal breath. The demon king of southern border invaded, and millions of people were about to be reduced to blood. Jin Zi Mansion, took action to stop it, and forced Qingchizong and other ancestors of several sects to take action with his own life, and finally turned the tide... He lost his lifespan and foundation in this battle, otherwise it would not be necessary until today. Trying to break through the Golden Core..."

"At the end of the day, he owes my Xiao family and even the little half of Yue country the grace of life."

"what!"

Xiao Yuansi only heard about the demon chaos more than 100 years ago, but he was not very clear about the details. Hearing this was like a lightning strike, his mind went blank, he was startled and annoyed, and shouted:
"how is this possible?!"

Xiao Chuchou went deep into the cave with him, sighed, and said in a deep voice:
"When everyone has a youthful spirit, who has never dreamed of turning the tide and saving the common people? But after decades of being stuck in front of a practice threshold, he has not made any progress in his practice day and night, and he has become dazed. After a hundred years of practice, he is about to fail. Hui...the enemies all around are staring at you, waiting for you to slaughter your children after you die, and you only need to kill a few people to break through, do you want to kill or not?"

Xiao Chuchou's eyes were complicated, his old face was wrinkled together in pain, looking at Xiao Yuansi who was devastated, he said in a low voice:
"If you kill, you will protect your own family and keep your relatives safe. If you don't kill, you will not be able to protect yourself. How many people can bear the slaughter of your relatives? Killing one person is killing, and killing ten thousand people is killing. Once evil thoughts come out, they cannot be curbed. Wei killed your junior brother, but honestly there is no difference between good and evil, if you want to compare the truth, he killed a few talented disciples, but saved millions of people in the Yue Kingdom."

"Besides, once Chiwei died, the Blue Pond School would be on the verge of collapse. Your junior brother was born in a family, and he could go home as long as he patted his butt. Whoever will rule is not ruling? But the Chi family will be in great trouble..."

Xiao Chuchou was still talking, Xiao Yuansi finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised his head in despair, and said in a deep voice:

"Old Ancestor, why is the world like this? If everyone is chaotic, half-human, half-ghost, how can there be a place in the world?"

Xiao Chuchou nodded approvingly, and said in a low voice:
"Under the golden crow's light, immortals are half-human and half-ghost. How can there be purity? Since the battle between immortals and demons, the world no longer judges people with good and evil, but only with kindness and hatred..."

Xiao Yuansi was silent for a few breaths, then exhaled a deep breath, still unable to calm down, he entered Qingsui Peak when he was young, Si Yuanbai taught him the distinction between good and evil, but Chi Wei turned it upside down, to this day It was broken by Xiao Chuchou's words again, and the mood was agitated for a while, the immortal base "Zhu Danshen" in the body shone brightly, and faintly improved.

"Only about grievances..."

The two chatted together, and finally arrived in the empty cave, where there was no light in the dark hole, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators naturally would not be troubled by the darkness. Xiao Yuansi glanced at it, and saw a big yellow flower blooming in the depths , a group of stamens curled up, with a drop of dew hanging on it, fragrant.

"It's Weibao medicine, Jiurui Lingxuan."

Xiao Chuchou still recognized it by himself, Xiao Yuansi had been immersed in alchemy for many years, but he recognized the origin of this flower at a glance, Xiao Chuchou nodded suddenly, and said with a smile:

"I got nothing from the few ruins, but it's not a waste of time to get this precious medicine."

When practitioners reached the realm of the Purple Mansion of Foundation Establishment, ordinary spirits would no longer be effective. Only these precious medicines obtained from the essence of heaven and earth could have magical effects. Therefore, the two were quite satisfied. Xiao Yuansi flicked his sleeves, and mana surged in his hands , but there is no magical brilliance that should be there.

"Old Ancestor, be careful, this thing is afraid of light."

Xiao Yuansi took the special magic weapon medicine pouch and put it away, Xiao Chuchi looked at the series of medicine pouches he wore on his body, and said with a smile:
"You still have to prepare."

Items such as magic weapon medicine pouches and qi bottles have space inside and cannot be put into storage bags, so Xiao Yuansi is now carrying a series of medicine pouches so cumbersomely. Rui Lingxuan, the two left the cave and started to deal with the monsters on the ground.

Xiao Chuchou broke into a few spirit sealing formulas, and suddenly said:

"Based on the current situation of my Xiao family, the Li family's Moon-Watching Lake can be used as a breakthrough, guarding the west side for my family... After all, Moon-Watching Lake is backed by Dali Mountain, which is a good place. Even if Chi Wei dies, the Qingchi Sect will probably not give up Moon-Watching Lake, with the relationship between the two families, it is most appropriate to use the Li family as a barrier."

Xiao Yuansi cast a spell with his head down, nodded, and replied:

"I heard that the relationship between Yongling and Li Tongya is pretty good, and Ruyu and Li Xuanfeng also have friendship, so it's good."

Xiao Yuansi promised Li Chijing to take good care of the Li family. Seeing that Xiao Chuchou and the other ancestors had no plans to go west, he felt relieved, and Xiao Chuchou said in a deep voice:

"The ancestor of the Li family, Li Mutian, was able to become a casual cultivator from a farmer, and finally cultivate a foundation. He must have excellent character and everything, and the children he taught are naturally not bad."

"Although Li Tongya's talent is not high, his disposition is very good. Li Chijing should have acquired his talent in swordsmanship... but he has never heard of Li Mutian. This person should not be famous in Yue Kingdom."

Xiao Chuchou was thinking about it, and suddenly frowned, and asked:

"All four of Li Mutian's sons have spiritual apertures?"

Xiao Yuansi didn't know what he was thinking, thought for a while, and replied:
"The eldest son died early, and the other three sons all have spiritual apertures."

"Oh?"

Xiao Chuchou raised his eyebrows, the wrinkles on his old face squeezed together, and said again:
"How about the Xuanzi generation?"

Xiao Yuansi recalled for a while, and said with some uncertainty:
"There are three sons and one daughter, and all three sons have spiritual apertures."

Xiao Chuchou picked up the tail of the spirit beast, turned the corpse over, put it in the storage bag, and said:

"The next one is Yuan Zi."

"good."

Xiao Yuansi nodded and replied:

"Yuan's generation is not very clear. There should be more people. I only know that there are about three Lingqiaozi."

Only then did Xiao Chuchou nod his head, feeling a little more normal, waved his hand, and said solemnly:

"Li Mutian is by no means simple. There is a high probability that this person has swallowed some special genius and treasure. The blood of the Li family does not seem to be left by a foundation cultivator, and the cultivator of the Zifu is nothing more than that!"

"Oh?!"

Xiao Yuansi had never thought about it from this point of view, and was amazed for a moment. His old ancestor had seen a lot, and when the Xiao family was in decline, it was at the peak of his Qi training, so he gave Xiao Chu the precious medicine and Suiyuan Dan from his family. In the court, Xiao Chuchou went out to look for opportunities by himself, so he knew a lot. Xiao Yuansi recalled the behavior of Li Tongya and Li Xiangping brothers back then, nodded thoughtfully, and replied:
"It is indeed not simple."

The two of them rode the wind and flew in the direction of Li's house. Xiao Chuchou smiled abruptly and said softly:
"I have an idea. Since the Li family has a great bloodline, my Xiao family can try to marry him. On the one hand, the relationship between the two families will become more stable. To unify Wangyue Lake, my family will not only make it a barrier, but also make an alliance with it, relying on each other."

Xiao Yuansi nodded, smiled warmly, and replied:
"The old ancestor said that just like the Ning family and the Chi family of the Qingchi sect back then, the two families complement each other's skills, cling to each other, and control the Qingchi..."

"It doesn't have to be that close."

Xiao Chuchou shook his head and replied:

"It's a good thing for the two families to get along with each other. If the marriage is too close, there is a danger of usurping each other. In terms of interests, they rely on each other. It is good enough to reuse the master-student relationship between the two families."

"Yes, the junior understands."

While the two were chatting, Lijing Mountain had already appeared in the sky, lively fireworks erupted from the foot of the mountain, and the pale golden formation shone slightly in the morning light, like a fairyland.

----

Li Tongya picked up the jade boxes on the table, looked at each one carefully, put them together one by one, and shook his head regretfully.

"These spiritual things obtained from Shanyue are effective at the level of Qi training, but there is no pill or medicine. Swallowing them directly will not only greatly reduce the effect, but also cause harm, making it more difficult to break through in the future. .”

Spiritual objects not only have various effects, but also have impurities and negative effects. Alchemy is to use a variety of spiritual objects to blend and refine elixirs to minimize the impact and increase the effectiveness.

Handing the jade box in his hand to Li Xuanxuan, Li Tongya suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Has Qiuyang not grasped the breakthrough yet?"

Li Xuanxuan nodded, and also had some doubts, and replied:
"I asked Qiuyang, and it's true that he's still a little bit worse. It really shouldn't be... It stands to reason that Qiuyang's talent back then was no better than Donghe's, but he wouldn't have fallen to this level."

Li Tongya pondered for a long time, and finally remembered something from his dusty memories, suddenly realized, and said softly:

"Do you still remember the precious snake tree at home?"

"I remember."

Li Xuanxuan nodded, the snake dragon tree can be said to be the most precious thing in the Li family besides the Fajian and the Qingchi Sword, it can bear a snake dragon fruit every five years, please ask Xiao Yuansi to refine it into a elixir, a few people in the family break through the Qi training They all borrowed the power of this snake yuan pill.

Li Tongya shook his head, told the old story, and said in a warm voice:
"It was thanks to Qiuyang that he discovered this precious tree back then. This child was blessed. He was still young, so he sneaked into the mountain and ate the snake fruit by mistake. Fortunately, the snake fruit has a gentle temperament, and he fell into a coma for several days. Heavens, later on, it was more effective with half the effort, and it only took one year to condense the Xuanjing Wheel."

Li Xuanxuan listened carefully to these old events, Li Tongya sighed and continued:
"At that time, we all thought that it was the child's blessing. We never thought that fortune and misfortune depended on each other. Qiuyang practiced quickly, but he swallowed the spiritual fruit hastily without cultivation. After all, he left hidden dangers for him and caused Now it's hard to make progress if you stay at the peak of fetal breath."

Li Xuanxuan suddenly realized, and nodded, Li Tongya picked up the tea bowl on the table, and said in a low voice:

"Of all the mountains in my family, the spiritual energy of Qianshan Mountain is the strongest. You go down and tell him the cause and effect, and then send him to Huaqian Mountain to practice."

"Yes!"

Li Xuanxuan respectfully responded, but raised his head abruptly, only to see the formation humming, and an old voice came through the formation.

"Xiao Chuchou from the Xiao family came to visit, and asked Tongya's little friend to open a formation."

Li Tongya hastily opened up and jumped up, seeing Xiao Chuchou and Xiao Yuansi entering with smiles and landing on the top of the mountain, Li Tongya cupped his hands and said in a respectful voice:

"I have seen two seniors!"

"Little friend Tongya is as polite as ever."

Xiao Chuchou followed him into the courtyard with a smile, sat down with Xiao Yuansi, took the tea that was served, said casually two or three sentences, and said softly:

"I have been traveling north and south, and I know quite a lot about formations. Your family's large formation is ingeniously conceived, and there are some things."

"It was built by Master Liu Changdie."

Li Tongya responded, Xiao Yuansi raised his eyebrows when he heard the name, and said in a warm voice:

"I've seen this Liu Changdie before. It's kind of interesting. He is skilled in formations. He talks like a nearly hundred-year-old pedant. He has a lot of connections."

Xiao Chuchou was not interested in this, so he changed the subject, looked at Li Tongya for a while, and said in a low voice:

"How sure is little friend Tongya of building a foundation?"

"Cultivation is not yet complete, and I don't know yet."

Li Tongya didn't feel the throbbing of creating an immortal foundation, so he had no choice but to respectfully respond, Xiao Chuchou nodded, and told him some tips for building a foundation. Li Tongya's life practice is mostly on his own, so it is a great joy to have such an opportunity, it is like a treasure Carefully write down Xiao Chuchou's words, Xiao Yuansi listened together, adding a few words from time to time
Li Tongya thanked him again and again, Xiao Chuchou waved his hands with a smile, staring straight at Li Tongya with deep eyes, and said with a smile:
"Little friend Tongya also knows something about my family!"
