Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Time passed in a hurry, winter went to spring, summer went to autumn solstice, and advanced at an unprecedented steady pace.
On the noisy wharf of Qinghe Fucheng, the continuous autumn rain sprinkled ten thousand ripples in the river, and could not drown this lively atmosphere, a dragon boat stopped in the rippling river, a man stood on the bow of the boat, at first glance, just an ordinary farmer, and the sun and wind and rain were consumed, and the skin was dark and rough. But if you look closely, you will notice the sparkle in his dark eyes.
The boat will go upstream, and Li Long looked at the direction in which the water of the Qing River meandered and rushed, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.
He has been away from his hometown for more than ten years, even during the New Year's holidays, he has never gone back, not because he doesn't want to go back, he always has endless farm work. The ripening melons and fruits are waiting to be picked, and the medicine garden needs to be watered almost every day.
Qinghe Mansion has been repeatedly catastrophic, but a large area of land full of spiritual energy has been vacated, and some of the destroyed sects and medicine gardens are still preserved, and they have to be taken care of by the peasant disciples, and they can't get out for a moment, which is a rare opportunity for him to practice.
In this case, it is almost impossible for him to spend time and travel thousands of miles just to go home once, so he can only often ask someone to go home with a little silver ticket and talk about filial piety.
Now his face was dark and thin, and his clothes were old, like a lump of dirt that had just been dug out of the soil, and his whole body was full of rustic. So much so that when the rain began to fall, he returned to the cabin, and the people around him had to keep some distance from him.
Many years ago, he went to Qingyang City from Woniu Village to learn art, just to get rid of the identity of a farmer, but in the end he became a complete farmer, which is indeed a bit funny. However, his appearance was praised as a "civil and wooden remains" by the head of the farmer's family, Loess Weng, saying that his farmer's genius intended to pass on the position of the head of the family to him.
It's the hard work that goes into it. His cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and in the past ten years, he has gone from an unliterate Jianghu guest to the chief disciple of the farmer's family, a tenth-level qi refiner. He was originally planning to go all out and try to break through the foundation building realm by cultivating for a few more years.
A letter from home was transmitted from Woniu Village to Qingyang City, and then to the headquarters of the Iron Fist Gate in Qinghe Mansion City through the contact line of the Iron Fist Gate, and then transferred to his hands, where he learned the news of his father's death. He hurriedly packed his bags and embarked on the road back to his hometown.
Before leaving, in addition to entrusting a large area of land to the care of his brothers and sisters, he also went to visit one person, the only fellow villager, Li Qingshan. Ask him if he wants to send a message, or something.
Li Qingshan thought for a while before remembering the person "Village Chief Li", and then let Li Longjie mourn and change, and there was no sad look on his face. After many years, the death of a mortal who is not related to him or even offended him is naturally difficult to touch. His temperament doesn't like to pretend.
Li Long doesn't blame him, he has been away for so many years, and he has received his free help at several critical times to have his cultivation today. And even if it has become so powerful. His attitude can still be described as equal.
Even for himself, that old face tended to be blurred day by day, and it was not until he heard the news of his death that it suddenly became clear. I didn't feel particularly sad in my heart.
In the end, Li Qingshan didn't let any message, which was also expected by Li Long. Since he severed his ties with his brother and sister-in-law, his connection with Woniu Village has been weak and close to none.
This man has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, and he didn't seem normal until he was poured a belly of talisman water by the goddess, but he didn't like to play with his peers.
It wasn't until many years later that it became apparent how unusual they were, a kind of commentary on his later miraculous rise.
The big ship pulled anchor and went upstream, Qinghe Mansion gradually moved away, and Li Long embarked on his way back to his hometown.
The big ship passed through Jiaping Castle, a city that had been slaughtered by stone demons and was now revitalized, and it is said that even the eagle and wolf guard on the mountain was restored.
The big ship continued upward, until the pier where it had departed, he disembarked and took out a sealed town, and summoned a horse, which he had bought to ride around for the convenience of running around, and after another day, the familiar old city wall was in sight, and he suddenly realized that his hometown was not as far away as he imagined.
......
At the Iron Fist Gate, two strong men in black suits, together with a pair of majestic stone lions, stood guard in front of the door. Pedestrians on the road are far away.
The man on the left looked at the sky and complained: "This rain is really endless, Ah Snee, this weather is really unlucky!"
The man on the right shook his body, "It's much stronger than summer, as long as you stand for half an hour, it's like being fished out of the water, who told us to get started too late, and the martial arts are too poor? ”
"When Lao Tzu becomes a congenital master, he will sleep in the kiln in the future. ”
"It's up to you!"
"What's wrong with me, Li Qingshan was not as good as me before, and he couldn't even afford to visit the kiln! Now I heard that the entire kiln in Qinghe Mansion is his. There is also that Li Long, who used to be our Iron Fist Gate, and now it is said that he is dozens of layers in nature. ”
"There are only ten layers in the innate realm, where are there dozens of layers!"
As he was talking, a dark and thin man walked straight to the door, his eyes wandering around, looking at the familiar porter, with countless sighs and sighs.
It is also that Qingyang City is relatively remote, and it is close to the vast mountain range, which belongs to the middle ground of the two demon forces, and the war with the demon clan in the past has little impact here.
"What kind of person!" "Rustic buns, how can you look at this iron fist gate, don't look around here, get out of here!"
"My name is Li Long, and I am a disciple of Liu Hong and Liu, you should hurry back and spread the word!"
Li Long didn't know these two gatekeepers, he knew that they were the new disciples he had accepted after he left, and he was also majestic when he stood there, but his martial arts were not even second- or third-rate, so he could only bluff the people, otherwise he would not have been sent to guard the door.
"You say you're Li Long?"
The strong man's eyes widened, although he had never met, but this name was like thunder, it was a powerful person who came out of the iron fist gate of their Qingyang City, a great master with dozens of layers of innateness, and the iron lion Liu Hong had to brag every time he drank.
But looking at this person's dress, it doesn't look like the legendary "Li Long", how can this look like he just came back from the ground!
The two of them didn't dare to slack off, knowing that some masters on the rivers and lakes liked to pretend, and immediately went in to report, after a while, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, walking with the wind, and a majestic middle-aged man walked out of the door, but it was not Liu Hong, seeing Li Long, he was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward to hold his hand: "Senior brother, it's really you!"
"Senior Brother Wang Lei. Li Long also recognized people.
It turned out that the iron lion Liu Hong had handed over the position of the head of the Iron Fist Gate to the hands of his eldest disciple Wang Lei, and went to the city to recuperate.
Wang Lei patted Li Long on the shoulder, revealing a look of mourning: "Senior brother, the mourning is smooth, uncle is so old, ......" said some comforting words, Li Long could see that there was not much truth in it at all, just some scenes.
Li Long said: "Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." ”
Wang Lei gave an order, and on the one hand, he sent people to invite Liu Hong, who was outside the city, to raise all the disciples of the Iron Fist Gate, and on the other hand, they lined up from behind the shadow wall to the gate of the main hall.
"Senior brother, please!" Wang Lei waved his hand, walked in front, put on the posture of the head of the house, and emphasized the word "junior brother", which was intended to show that don't forget that I am still your "senior brother".
The relationship between the two was not harmonious, more than ten years ago, Wang Lei was often dissatisfied with Liu Hong's different view of Li Long, and later took over the position of the head of the Iron Fist Gate, and this spirit gradually calmed down. Now seeing Li Long dressed up, I can't help but feel a little relieved. told Li Longda about the changes in the Iron Fist Gate after he left, saying that he took the good men of the Iron Fist Gate to show his ambitions and control the entire Qingyang City.
The original four major forces, two were destroyed by Li Qingshan's own hands, Lemazhuang has always been closed and self-controlled, even more so after Huang Yihu left, the Iron Fist Gate has become the only force in Qingyang City, Wang Lei, the head of the family, is naturally very majestic, and he responds to every call, even the magistrate has to look at his face, and the inner courtyard is full of wives and concubines.
I thought to myself: "What kind of cultivator you are outside, you may not be as happy as me being the Earth Emperor in Qingyang City." ”
Li Long only nodded, this former Qingyang City was like the whole world to him, but now, it is just an inconspicuous small city, and there is no fertile land rich in aura. If it weren't for Liu Hong here, he wouldn't have been able to stop at all.
The two sat down in the middle hall, and Wang Lei asked with a smile: "Senior brother, have you not married a wife and had children outside all these years?
"There is a lot of farm work to be done, how can I have time to marry a wife and have children. Li Longdao, there was also a Lejia disciple who was interested in him, but he had no time to take care of anything else, and in the end, he didn't do it.
Wang Lei raised his eyebrows and was surprised: "Farm work!
Li Long smiled: "I'm a farmer's disciple, what can I do if I don't farm?"
Wang Lei frowned and shook his head: "What else does this practice mean?"
"At first, I thought it was boring, but after a long time, I thought it was quite interesting. Li Longdao, working on the land, watching the melons and fruits ripen and the spiritual grass grow, and at the same time get feedback from the earth and plants, and the cultivation is constantly improving, there is an indescribable happiness.
Wang Lei pouted and said that he couldn't understand, thinking that Li Long was probably hard-mouthed.
In his eyes, a farmer is better than a beggar, and if he is allowed to plant for ten years, it is better to kill him directly. Sure enough, it is "rather the head of the chicken, not the queen of the ox", his majestic iron fist master is naturally the head of the chicken, and he is still much stronger than Li Long, the queen of the ox who cultivates the Tao.
