The Name of Eternity

Li Hao frowned slightly.

He remembered that he told Xue'er that there was no need for her to help ask his master to come down the mountain and stand up for him.

It makes no sense.

After eight years of absence, Jian Wudao also stepped into this mansion again.

When he first entered Shanhe Courtyard, he saw the young man lying on the old man's chair and basking in the sun, feeling very comfortable.

I thought that such a young man should practice all the time, but I didn't expect that he would be so leisurely.

But maybe because the war is approaching, it is normal to relax at the end.

Behind Jian Wudao, there were four figures following, all of whom were his disciples, three men and one woman. Among them, the one with the highest level of cultivation had already entered the realm of the three immortals.

The four of them also looked at Li Hao, with surprise and curiosity in their eyes.

"Brother Hao."

Bian Ruxue trotted over with a smile on her face and said, "I asked Master and the others to come down the mountain."

It disturbed Qingmeng, but in the face of the girl's kindness, Li Hao couldn't criticize harshly, so he had to stand up, throw the poetry collection aside, and finally sighed in his heart when he saw the sword master approaching.

He was the one who took the little tail away, but he was the one who let the little tail go.

And it was Little Tails himself who really said goodbye to him.

So, who can you blame?

Li Hao didn't complain to anyone, because he had put away those extra steps.

Therefore, after sighing faintly, Li Hao put down all the distracting thoughts and said with a smile, "Sword Master, you are well."

"Um?"

Jian Wudao was slightly surprised and said, "Do you still remember me?"

"How could I forget how charming Mr. Jian is?" Li Hao said with a smile.

Jian Wudao raised his eyebrows slightly. He originally thought that this young man with extraordinary talent must be high-spirited, arrogant and wanton, or he was depressed in cultivation and had a withdrawn temperament.

Unexpectedly, it was like a breeze without joy or sorrow, and the whole body revealed a sense of freedom in the mountains and fields.

"Marquis Xingwu has given birth to a good son, and the third generation of the Li family will fly to heaven again."

Jian Wudao said calmly.

Li Hao smiled, and the politeness was over.

Jian Wudao's eyes fell on the arms of a girl dressed as a maid next to her, who was holding a black sword box.

As he said many years ago, a sword-crazy person can spot a sword among ten thousand weapons at a glance.

When he entered Shanheyuan, he naturally saw the black sword box at first sight, and then he paid attention to the young man.

Seeing the sword box, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Is this Yongye?"

"Have you seen Mr. Jian?"

"It bloomed briefly, but unfortunately it fell silent."

Jian Wudao's eyes were calm and he said: "I am slightly ashamed of this name. Yongye should be able to cover the sky forever and let everyone in the world know about it!"

"Is Jian always blaming my Ninth Uncle?" Li Hao said lightly.

Jian Wudao did have this idea. Although he felt that he shouldn't say it, his inner respect for Jian made him extremely dissatisfied when he learned that Jian Mengchen had completely lost his seal.

He had gone to the government to ask for it and was willing to exchange it for other promises.

But the old lady kicked him out.

However, today, he just said it casually. It has been many years and there is no point in mentioning it again, let alone with a junior.

"My Ninth Uncle came into the world with a sword. In just three years, this sword has gone from being unknown when it was made to becoming a famous sword in the world. It is unworthy of me."

Li Hao said lightly: "Besides, if my Ninth Uncle is still alive, everyone in the world should know about this sword. Of course, if the old sword master is willing to kill enemies and eliminate demons for my Ninth Uncle, instead of just sitting in the sword hut Among them, this sword should be the best sword in the world now, right?"

Hearing the sarcasm in Li Hao's words, Jian Wudao's expression changed slightly.

The four people behind him were also stunned, and their expressions suddenly changed. The middle-aged man in the lead said solemnly:

"Master Li, please apologize to my master!"

Li Hao just glanced at the other party, chuckled lightly, and said nothing.

This is Shanheyuan, not Jianlu.

Bian Ruxue did not expect that Master and Li Hao would have a quarrel as soon as they met. She was stunned and couldn't help but feel a little nervous and anxious.

Jian Wudao stared at Li Hao, his eyes were slightly colder, and he said calmly:

"Li Jiulang is indeed extremely talented. Now that I have passed down the sword to you, are you worthy of this sword?"

"This sword was forged by my Li family who collected precious iron from all over the world. Whether it is worthy or not is not for outsiders to say." Li Hao said with a smile.

"Brother Hao."

Bian Ruxue couldn't help but scream.

Li Hao glanced at her and saw that she was in a dilemma, but his smile faded slightly.

Many years ago, in this yard, it seemed to be at this location.

But the little girl stood by him without hesitation and spoke for him everywhere.

When she heard that she was going to be taken away, the little girl cried and said that she no longer loved swords and would never practice swordsmanship again...

The time back then can never come back.

Just like the autumn leaves in the courtyard, after they wither, they can never return to the trees.

Even if the spring breeze blows again next year, what will emerge are new buds...

At this time, several figures hurried from the inner courtyard. It was Li Tiangang, with Yu Xuan and Li Fu behind him.

"Senior Sword Master!"

When Li Tiangang saw Jian Wudao, he shouted from afar, then stepped forward and slightly cupped his hands:

"I didn't expect you to come to support me. I'm so polite to you."

Jian Wudao was a strong man in his father's generation. When he was a child, he even came to spar with his father.

However, although his father could defeat Jian Wudao in terms of overall combat strength, he was not specialized in swordsmanship, so he was defeated many times in swordsmanship contests.

"There's no need to support me."

Jian Wudao said calmly: "For Xue'er's sake, I came here to join in the fun and have a drink. I don't know if the General's Mansion will welcome her or not."

"That's certainly welcome."

Li Tiangang was slightly surprised, feeling that the Sword Master's words seemed a bit harsh. He glanced at Li Hao next to him and immediately understood that Li Hao had a loose temper and was not well received.

He immediately smiled and said: "Sword Master, please follow me to the inner courtyard. This child Xue'er is talented and intelligent. It is a blessing for this child to be able to practice under the name of Sword Master."

Seeing that the marshal who had been in charge of soldiers for many years was so polite, Jian Wudao also showed a smile on his face. He followed him into the courtyard and ignored Li Hao next to him. After all, there was too much difference in seniority and there was nothing to argue with his juniors.

Several disciples behind Jian Wudao also realized that it was pointless to argue with Li Hao.

It was originally a gift, but it ended up being a quarrel. It was not worth it.

But in my heart, I felt a little more unhappy and unhappy with this young man who was famous in Qingzhou.

When they all left, Bian Ruxue stood next to Li Hao, looking hesitant and saying, "Brother Hao, are you angry?"

Li Hao sat back on the chair and smiled: "No, there is nothing to be angry about."

Bian Ruxue said: "My master is very serious when it comes to swords. Sometimes his words will inevitably sound unpleasant. Brother Hao, please don't take it to your heart."

Li Hao smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not angry."

Bian Ruxue glanced at him and saw that he really didn't look angry. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I saw that Li Qianfeng was surrounded by Bodhisattvas from Wuliang Mountain to support him, so I invited Master."

"For your trouble."

Li Hao understood her good intentions and smiled: "Go and accompany your master. He is not familiar with the place. I will bask in the sun for a while."

"All right."

Hearing this, Bian Ruxue nodded.

After Bian Ruxue left, Li Hao opened the poetry collection again, covered his face, and continued to bask in the sun.

Next to him, Ren Qianqian was holding the sword box and looking towards the inner courtyard frequently.

Her heart was in her throat just now. The sword master's momentum was so strong that she felt like she was trembling all over.

This is the most famous swordsman in the world!

But the young man in front of her responded calmly without any fear. She was even afraid that he would take action in anger and teach Li Hao a lesson.

But Ren Qianqian was overly worried. In this Divine General's Mansion, regardless of whether Li Hao made a mistake or not, Jian Wudao would not be able to take action even if his temper got louder. Otherwise, it would not only be Li Hao who would be beaten, but the entire Divine General. The face of the government.

At the same time, compared to the deserted crowds in Shanhe Courtyard, it was extremely noisy and lively in Shuihua Courtyard.

The hall was full of guests, the inner courtyard was already full, and even the outer courtyard was crowded.

The whole courtyard was filled with maids and servants, busy waiting on them.

…

…

In Tan Palace Academy.

Many disciples in the White Hall wanted to go down the mountain and join in the fun at the Divine General's Mansion to support Li Hao and see how the Li family's true dragon made choices.

But they were all stopped by Song Yufeng's ban.

Sun Hongdian, who taught the class, was very knowledgeable about human affairs and worldliness. He slowly told the reasons for the ban and explained them to his disciples.

There are two reasons.

The first is that with Li Hao's talent, it is inevitable to win the real dragon, without the support of others.

Secondly, there is no need for Tan Gong Academy to stir up trouble and trouble just to add glory to the cake.

Someone among the disciples immediately shouted: "But Zhou Zheng is gone!"

Sun Hongdian rebuked angrily: "I went with my father. His father is the former subordinate of Marquis Xingwu. Is that your father?"

The disciple fell silent immediately. Obviously, his father was not.

The cold pool is on the cliff edge.

Two figures stood here, looking into the distance at the foot of the mountain. They could faintly feel the prosperity there and the many powerful auras gathered there.

"That boy has drawn so many pictures for you, why don't you go and take a look?"

Song Yufeng put his hands behind his back and looked at Song Qiumo beside him with a smile.

Song Qiumo glanced at him: "If I go, aren't you afraid of bringing Tan Gong in?"

"Of course I'm not afraid."

Song Yufeng said with a smile: "The Li family is not unreasonable. What's more, that child will definitely be able to take down the real dragon. What's the need to be afraid of supporting him?"

Song Qiumo snorted: "If you weren't afraid, why would you come to see me?"

"That little guy hasn't been up the mountain for a few days. I see you standing here waiting every day. I'm afraid you'll be bored." Song Yufeng said with a smile.

Song Qiumo rolled his eyes: "I was waiting for him to deliver shortbread cookies."

"I didn't say what you were waiting for."

Song Yufeng smiled and said, "Besides, you can go down the mountain and buy it yourself."

Song Qiumo said angrily: "I promised your ancestor that I would stay here."

"Why trap yourself for a lifetime just for a promise."

Song Yufeng sighed and said, "Besides, you have been guarding me for nearly a thousand years. My Song family is grateful."

Song Qiumo was silent.

After a moment, he said: "Speaking of which, he is also your Mr. Tan Palace, why don't you go?"

Song Yufeng laughed, put his hands behind his back, and said:

"I have no choice but to provide help in times of need and not be the icing on the cake."

…

…

In Shanhe Courtyard, in addition to the Sword Master and others, some more people came one after another.

Most of them were people who Li Tiangang was visiting during this period, and they all came to the courtyard to support Li Hao.

The inner courtyard was full of guests, and Li Tiangang sat in the main hall, chatting and laughing with everyone, and from time to time the laughter of some middle-aged men could be heard.

The remaining young people, not many in number, were all in the inner courtyard, secretly looking at the young master sunbathing in the front yard, with curiosity in their eyes, but they did not dare to get close.

At the age of fourteen and in the fifteen-mile realm, this name was too loud and intimidating.

"Master Li."

A figure rang out beside Li Hao. Li Hao opened his poetry collection and saw a familiar face.

Being alone with Li Hao, Zhou Zheng looked slightly nervous, especially thinking of the hundreds of poems written in the brothel that day, he admired and admired this person of his age.

"Why are you here?"

Li Hao was slightly surprised. He glanced behind the other party and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no other students.

With Tan Palace's status, there is no need to come and get involved. After all, Tan Palace students are all over the world, and it may not be a good thing if they are too closely tied to the Shenjiang Mansion.

Some relationships are best, longest-lasting, and not easily destroyed if they are separated.

"I came here with my father." Zhou Zheng said respectfully.

Li Hao suddenly understood, nodded, and asked him to sit down without restraint.

The two chatted about poetry casually, and many people were surprised when they saw Zhou Zheng talking to Li Hao, and secretly remembered the young man's appearance to avoid offending him in the future.

Wait until noon.

Li Tiangang led the hall full of guests and asked Yu Xuan to call Li Hao to his side. The father and son walked in front, leading the Sword Master and others, as well as the other guests in the hall, to Chen Hefang's courtyard.

The place is already crowded with people.

Liu Yuerong and others had already arrived first, and the guests who came to support Li Qianfeng had also taken their seats.

According to status, most of the people from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard were seated.

As Li Tiangang and others arrived, the noise at the scene became slightly quieter, and everyone looked at them.

When they saw Jian Wudao next to Li Tiangang, many people's expressions changed slightly and they exclaimed in low voices.

Many people did not expect that Li Tiangang could actually invite this old sword master to support his child.

After all, this was a top expert in the Four Realms. He was said to be indifferent to fame and wealth and had been sitting in the sword hut all year round, but he was actually invited down the mountain.

However, some people didn't find it strange to learn that Li Hao's fiancée was a disciple of the Sword Master.

After entering the inner courtyard, under the arrangement of the housekeeper next to the old lady, they were arranged to be seated according to their official position, status in the world, strength and cultivation, etc. This was an extremely detailed and huge task, and we had to try our best to ensure that there were no mistakes.

After all, most of the people here take "fame" very seriously.

Jian Wudao and his disciples naturally entered the inner courtyard.

As they arrived, the chatter of the guests on Liu Yuerong's side became much quieter, and they cast fearful glances.

The four disciples around Jian Wudao had a bit of smiles and pride in their eyes, and they glanced at the young master of the Li family not far away.

Thinking of the other party's previous rude words, he sneered in his heart.

Look, this is the card my master brings to you!

"Sword Master, long time no see."

Several figures came towards them, and the one standing in the middle was the Bodhisattva from Wuliang Mountain.

This Bodhisattva has a fair complexion and looks middle-aged. He is wearing pure clothes and cassock, and his hair is as black as ink jade. He says with a smile.

Jian Wudao's eyes narrowed slightly. The Bodhisattvas of Wuliang Mountain were extremely difficult to mess with.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Jian Wudao."

Next to this Bodhisattva is another middle-aged man, who is full of luxury and has a leering look.

Jian Wudao said calmly: "The sword battle has not yet concluded. Let's try again if we have a chance."

The other party is a northern swordsman. I had a sparring match with him many years ago, but to no avail.

"This is the first time we meet. I've heard the name of Sword Master for a long time, haha..." Another old man said with a smile.

He is short, wearing a green robe and has a beard that falls to his belly.

Jian Wudao looked calm: "Don't your Demon Suppression Department go to suppress the demons?"

"Just come and have a drink, no need to delay." The old man said with a smile.

The guests at other tables held their breath slightly.

The top figures who are rarely seen in ordinary times, the powerful people of the Four Realms, are suddenly four here.

The faces of the disciples behind Jian Wudao also changed slightly. They thought that with their master coming to support Li Hao, they would at least be evenly matched, but they didn't expect that the other party actually invited three of them.

After a brief collision, several people went back to their seats.

Jian Wudao looked cold, glanced at Li Tiangang, and said, "If you only invite me, I'm afraid I won't be able to control this situation."

Li Tiangang smiled bitterly. He had expected this and said, "There is another senior who is on his way here."

"Who is it?"

"The Master of Tianjian Mountain."

Jian Wudao's eyes moved slightly and said: "It turns out to be that guy. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Li Tiangang sighed secretly, it's a pity that even if that person comes, he is still slightly inferior, but fortunately the gap is not that big.

He glanced at his son Li Hao, and saw that the other person had an unconcerned look on his face. He felt helpless. The sword master was invited by Xue'er, and the mountain master of Tianjian Mountain was invited by himself. Although his son has a high level of cultivation, , but has no personal connections.

Just when Li Tiangang sighed in his heart, a voice suddenly came into the inner courtyard:

"Report——Wuliangshan Arhat is visiting!"

Then he saw a middle-aged man wearing cassock walking into the inner courtyard with a smile. When he saw the Bodhisattva sitting as the honored guest, he immediately nodded and said the Buddha's name.

Then he glanced at Li Tiangang's side. When he saw that there were only a few tables of guests in the inner courtyard, he seemed a little surprised. Then he stood in the center and said:

"Disciple was ordered to come here, where is the King Kong of Heaven and Earth?"

Li Qianfeng was slightly surprised and stood up and stepped forward: "Li Qianfeng is here and has seen Arhat."

"Lord Wuliang Buddha asked me to present a string of Buddhist beads to the King Kong Vajra." Arhat said with a smile.

He and Li Qianfeng knew each other, and he deliberately spoke so loudly at this moment, just to add momentum to him.

Sure enough, hearing the words of the arhat, the guests in the courtyard were stunned and looked at each other in shock.

The Buddha who sat high on Wuliang Mountain actually stood up for the other party?

Jian Wudao and Li Tiangang's faces changed slightly, a little gloomy.

With the Buddha coming out, even if the mountain master of Tianjian Mountain came, it would be useless.

"If I had known this, Xue'er wouldn't have to work so hard."

Jian Wudao shook his head and said, his face had returned to calm. If he had known this, he wouldn't have to go down the mountain.

Li Tiangang's body shook slightly when he heard this, and he sighed. This is indeed not comparable, but fortunately, connections are not decisive.

"Thank you, Master."

Li Qianfeng took the Buddhist beads from the arhat in front of everyone and thanked him respectfully.

Luohan smiled slightly and was about to say something when suddenly a voice came from behind:

"Report!!"

"Emperor Yu has arrived with a handwritten decree. Let the son of the Li family, Li Hao, receive the decree!!"

Instantly, the whole courtyard was silent.
