The Name of Eternity

Li Muchiu's body trembled slightly, but he just stood there without speaking.

Li Xiaoran struggled with his arms, but failed to break free. He glanced at his second brother, but saw the extreme sadness under his eyes. His heart was shocked and he woke up a little.

When he saw Li Tiangang, whose breath was weakened and covered in blood, he was lost in thought, but in the end he hugged his head in pain.

He knew that his eldest brother would never come back.

Over the years, I have guarded the Minghe River and tried to pass the customs many times but failed. Why?

Don’t you just want to bring your eldest brother home?

But now, I can’t go back...

"Ahhh!!"

Li Xiaoran looked up to the sky and roared angrily, with blood and tears flowing.

Li Muchiu didn't speak, just stood silently like a stone. The wind outside the pass came and passed over the three of them, and then flew away lightly.

For a long time, for a long time...

Li Muchiu looked at Li Tiangang, who was still lying in the pit with his face covered in blood, and said, "Are you going to lie here for the rest of your life? If you don't die, stand up."

Li Tiangang's body trembled slightly, but he slowly sat up and wiped the blood and tears from his face.

He looked at Li Xiaoran who was slumped like a stone next to him, and Li Muxiu who was expressionless. He felt sad in his heart, but he held it back. He knew that he was still the true dragon of the Li family.

Since it is a real dragon, it must stand up. Everyone can fall, but the real dragon cannot fall. This is the responsibility that the real dragon needs to bear.

"I'm going to find Hao'er."

Li Tiangang got up from the ground. He staggered as soon as he stood up and almost lost his balance, but soon he started to use his true power to repair his body.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "I will definitely bring Hao'er back, and then pass on the true dragon to him. The prosperous age that my father wants to see, I, Li Tiangang, am incompetent. I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill my father's long-cherished wish, so I can only hand in Give it to Hao'er."

Li Xiaoran stared numbly into the distance, his eyes unchanged at all, as if he didn't hear anything.

Li Muchiu said with an expressionless face: "Now that the Fourth Brother is out, it is a good time to counterattack the overseas demons of the Qianhe River. Aren't you going to take charge?"

Li Tiangang looked at him. From the unchanging eyes of the second uncle, his inner thoughts could not be seen. He smiled mockingly and said:

"I'm not the only one left. There are five brothers sitting there, two princes, and you in the dark...Father is right. I made an exception for Qingqing back then, but now I can do the same for Hao'er. arrive!"

"I am his father, so what if I break the law for him once?"

Li Muchiu's eyes slowly turned and stared at him, and a coldness gradually appeared in his eyes: "If you could have had such an idea at the beginning, why are you here today?"

Li Tiangang felt pain in his heart and whispered: "Second uncle, it was my arbitrary and reckless behavior that hurt Hao'er's heart and yours as well. Please give me a chance to make amends, okay?"

Li Muchiu looked at his humble appearance. His emotions had previously been reduced to emotionless eyes, but now he was showing bursts of sadness and pain:

"Your father died here, can you make up for it?"

The gentle words shocked Li Tiangang's heart, like being hit by a heavy hammer, and the blood all over his body seemed to solidify.

The death of the hero's soul is like a soul scattered, how to make up for it?

He knew what Li Muchiu meant. Death could not make up for it, but death of the heart, how could it be made up for?

When he thought of this, his body trembled. He had never been timid after more than ten years of fighting in Yanbei, but at this moment he felt a sense of fear and fear.

Could it be said that the fault he caused is irreparable?

"No, Hao'er is my son. Although I beat him, my father also beat me. I have never resented my father. We are father and son. He will definitely forgive me..."

Li Tiangang murmured.

"Big brother hits you because he loves you, because you have made a mistake, and because he has high hopes for you. If he hits you occasionally and punishes you, it will also make other brothers secretly care about you."

The sadness in Li Muchiu's eyes could not be concealed: "But what about Hao'er? He was poisoned. Was it his fault? Have you really cared about him and understood him? What kind of food does he like to eat? What kind of food does he like to go to the city? Which street to visit, do you know?”

"You just want him to carry the Li family. Don't you know how heavy a burden this is? When your father decided to make Xiao Jiu a real dragon, did you know how helpless he was behind it and how much he felt for Xiao Jiu? Jiu is heartbroken, he hasn’t slept well for several months!”

Li Tiangang was stunned. Father...is he sad that his ninth brother inherited the real dragon?

"If you have true feelings for Hao'er, why would Hao'er leave? That child will remember every little kindness in his heart!"

"He has already seen through you. That child is far smarter than you thought. You treat him as a child, but you don't know that Hao'er is far better than other children. I treat him like an old friend. How can you despise him so much? Treat him with such paranoia!"

Hearing Li Muxiu's sad and angry words, Li Tiangang's heart trembled, and more and more unspeakable emotions surged into his heart, like a big hand of fear gripping his heart.

If it had been before, he might have thought that Li Muchiu was favoring the child, but now after going through all kinds of things, saving Liangzhou, and the Haotian battle flag is flying everywhere, and he learned from those demons that the boy's reputation is no less than that of their generals who have been galloping for many years. , even better!

At the age of fifteen, he had already reached such a level that even his proud ninth brother was completely overshadowed by Li Hao's talent.

Now, even his father, who had died in the war, was so fond of the child that he even passed on his power to him to let him recover Li Hao. This made him suddenly wake up. The layer of prejudice that had originally obscured his eyes, It was torn apart by that slap.

At this moment, he finally realized that he was wrong.

He was too obsessed with improving the child's strength, but ignored the child's feelings.

"I, I want to find him..."

Li Tiangang clenched his fists and his eyes were slightly red: "He will forgive me. We are father and son after all. He will not always hold grudges..."

"If you can really hold a grudge, maybe you can recover it. I'm afraid that child won't even hold a grudge against you."

Li Muchiu's eyes were sad and he said: "You never really took him running away from home seriously, but do you know that he has been waiting for you alone in that yard for fourteen years. What did he wait for? He stepped out of Li's house , how many dangers we encountered, whether we almost died, you and I don’t know. "

"But he can achieve this kind of cultivation in one year. Without the fear and persecution of life and death, how can he transform so quickly?"

"Do you treat life and death as child's play?"

"Can't you imagine how desperate and angry you would feel when faced with life and death? When will you truly understand that you have truly lost him!"

With a bang, Li Tiangang's mind was like five thunders, and he was stunned on the spot. Has he really lost that child?

His pupils shrank slightly, his breathing seemed to stop, and he shouted loudly: "No, it's impossible, he can't really leave, I will definitely bring him back!"

As he spoke, he strode outside.

But Li Muchiu stepped in front of him.

"How to carry it, do you rely on brute force?"

Li Muchiu stared at him: "My eldest brother's heroic spirit is still there, so I didn't say this. I didn't want him to be in despair at the last moment before he left, but I know the child's temper. You have no chance." "

"No!"

Li Tiangang roared at him, his eyes were red and blood rolled out: "We are father and son!"

"Father and son? The relationship between you father and son is shallow. You met for the first time in more than ten years, but you have already broken up with that slap!"

"Do you know why Hao'er waited for you to come back before attacking that poisonous woman? It's because he felt that you were at least on his side, because you sacrificed your life for him when he was a child and escaped from the army to kill the monster. He dissolved blood to build the foundation, and he will remember this kindness in his heart!"

"Although there are very few letters from your family and you are far apart, that little bit of warmth has allowed Hao'er to endure until now."

"But, I was beaten to death by your slap!"

Li Muchiu said sadly: "When I saw Hao'er returning the Demon King's precious blood to the Divine General's Mansion, I knew that no matter how ruthlessly you broke up, Hao'er would never be able to come back..."

Li Tiangang stood blankly, his whole body was as cold as cold water pouring over his head.

Apart from blood, between father and son, it turns out that the only thing they had was the kindness of slaying demons and sending blood?

His body was shaking and he felt unsteady on his feet.

He looked at Li Muchiu, with sadness and despair in his eyes: "Second uncle, what should I do? You don't want to see Hao'er really leave, right? What should I do to make him forgive?"

Li Muchiu looked at the panic in his eyes. If it were before, he would have been filled with anger and wanted to use this to sarcastically mock him, but now, he felt as lonely as ashes.

"The most hurtful thing in the world is not impossible."

"It's more that you can obviously do it, but you just don't want to do it."

"With your insight and wisdom, you can obviously handle these things well, but your prejudice and your indifference towards Hao'er made you think you chose the most convenient way, using military training to train your children... …”

"That's what hurts the most."

"Second uncle, stop talking. I know I was wrong. Just tell me, how should I bring him back?" Li Tiangang said painfully.

Li Muchiu's face was silent.

After he said so much, he still had a tiny hope in his heart, hoping that he could use this scolding to wake up Li Tiangang and make him truly wake up. In this case, there would still be a slim hope of bringing Li Hao back.

"Perhaps, as your father said, only if you truly apologize to him can there be a chance."

Li Muchiu murmured softly.

He took a deep breath, looked at Li Tiangang who looked sad and remorseful, and said: "But it's hard to say whether you can do it. I don't know whether Hao'er can forgive me. After all, you hurt him too deeply... …”

"I know, I will go find Hao'er. No matter what happens, even if he draws his sword at me again, I will let him slash at me, as long as he is willing to come back!"

Li Tiangang said fiercely.

Seeing that he was so determined, Li Muchiu was silent for a moment, with only a faint hope in his heart, but more of it was regret.

If it had been like this earlier, how could it be today?

Big brother can go home and take a look...

He felt sad and had no interest in talking anymore.

Li Tiangang looked at him, and then at his fourth uncle Li Xiaoran who looked blank and unresponsive next to him. He felt sad in his heart. Thinking of his father's words before his death, he would never let his father die in peace!

"Dad, I will definitely bring Hao'er back and ask him to visit you in the ancestral hall!"

Li Tiangang knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the place where Li Tianzong last disappeared.

Then, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up and said to Li Muxiu and Li Xiaoran: "Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, the matter of the dead river outside the border is handed over to you. This time, I am afraid that I will fail in my duty. Let me fight for Haoer once!"

As he said, seeing that the two were indifferent, he felt sad, knowing that they were still immersed in the death of their father and were extremely disappointed with himself.

But when he was about to step out, Li Xiaoran, who had been wooden before, suddenly said: "I will go with you."

Li Tiangang's body shook, and his eyes were wet again. He gritted his teeth, turned around and bowed deeply, saying:

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle, Tiangang can go alone, the child is going to the Ji family, the Ji family is an ancient holy family, and there is no point in having more people. I am Qingqing's husband. Maybe the Ji family can be more tolerant for this thin face."

Li Xiaoran ignored him and just stood up.

Li Muxiu said, "Old Four, let him go by himself."

Li Xiaoran paused and looked at him.

"He's right. The Ji family is so powerful that no one can harm Hao'er..."

Li Muxiu's eyes seemed to have become much older. He whispered, "I hope they won't kill Hao'er because he is their nephew..."

Li Xiaoran heard this and looked at the knife in his hand. He lowered his head and remained silent.

Li Tiangang's heart trembled. He heard from his wife that the rules of the Ji family were extremely strict and intermarriage with foreigners was prohibited. His marriage with Qingqing was a taboo of the Ji family. Now that the child was in the Ji family, he was afraid that he would be in danger.

He didn't care to say anything more and immediately said, "Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, wait for me to bring Hao'er back!"

After that, he turned around and flew out, turning into a golden light and rushing towards the Great Wilderness in the distance outside the pass.
