After tidying up the area around Wuju Mountain, Li Guanxuan went out for a trip.
As for Wen Rongxin and the others, they followed their own habits and found some places to establish as a training ground to facilitate future retreats.
The days were peaceful as always, and nothing weird happened.
On this day, Li Guanxuan also went back to Li's house.
Thousands of fairy mountains are like precious stones embedded in the sky, and immortals who control magical powers shuttle back and forth among them. Surrounded by rare birds and animals, the glow and auspicious clouds are lingering, like a dream, like a heavenly palace.
Lijiaxian Mountain is located to the east of Wuju Mountain, not far away.
Li Guanxuan went with his sword, and the old eunuch Li Zhong who was waiting at the foot of Wuju Mountain followed him, always half a body behind Li Guanxuan.
"This is Li's Cave. If anyone comes to visit, please tell me your name."
When they were about to approach the Li Family Fairy Mountain, a voice came out, carrying the power of the golden elixir.
Even if he is Jin Dan Zhenren, as a Li family sword cultivator, he will have a fearless arrogance in his bones.
"Li Guanxuan."
"..."
When he heard the name, the Jindan Sword Cultivator of the Li family immediately focused his attention, and his expression suddenly changed when he noticed the eunuch standing next to Li Guanxuan.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree, in the entire court of Daheng, who doesn't know Li Zhong, the chief seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies?
Anyone who falls into the hands of Li Zhong basically has one foot in the palace of the King of Hell.
In addition, Jindan Sword Cultivator is also quite familiar with Li Guanxuan's reputation.
There have been rumors lately about why the empress prefers Li Guanxuan?
Not only did he give Wuju Mountain to him, but he also sent his avatar to go to Sun Sword Mountain in Xianxu Continent to help Li Guanxuan get a copy of the "Sun Heart Sutra".
In addition, someone investigated something.
The empress valued Li Guanxuan very much when he was very young, and even asked him to affectionately call her eldest sister.
Nowadays, Li Zhong, the confidant of the empress, works as a gatekeeper at the foot of Wuju Mountain. It is enough to show that the empress' love for Li Guanxuan has gone beyond ordinary people.
Some even say...
Li Guanxuan may be the illegitimate son of the empress.
The golden elixir sword cultivator of the Li family did not dare to make trouble and let Li Guanxuan and Li Zhong in.
Walking on the familiar mountain road, Li Guanxuan looked at the splendid palaces built on the mountain, with glazed tiles shining with colorful fairy lights.
The flowers and trees were tall and handsome, and there were countless exotic flowers and plants, but what Li Guanxuan was most familiar with was the shadow of the sword that filled the sky.
The Li Family Fairy Mountain can also be called a sword mountain.
There are swords stuck everywhere here.
There are good swords and broken swords, firmly embedded in the mountain wall.
These swords were all brought back by Li family swordsmen who defeated or beheaded their opponents from outside.
As for the children of the Li family, whoever has the ability to pull out the sword embedded in the mountain wall can control it at will, and even receive rewards from the family.
"Finally willing to come over and take a look?"
Familiar cold words rang in his ears. Li Guanxuan came back to his senses, looked at his eldest brother Li Guanyuan's paralyzed face, and said with a smile: "You have to arrange Wuju Mountain well, otherwise you won't feel at ease."
At this point, Li Guanxuan asked with concern: "How is the injury? Who injured it?"
"It has been restored."
Li Guanyuan did not answer who hurt him. He looked at Li Zhong and bowed: "I have met Mr. Li."
Li Zhong nodded slightly, without any smile on his face.
Following Li Guanyuan into a palace, Li Guanxuan looked at the surrounding environment and the maids and servants waiting on him, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Brother, you are living a very happy life as a child."
"Have you nourished me?"
Li Guanyuan asked back and sneered: "I don't have extra time to play around outside. Unlike some people, I take the whole family to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and be free and happy."
"It's a long journey to become an immortal. It would be boring if you lived in conspiracies and intrigues every day."
Li Guanxuan found a place to sit down at random, and said with a smile: "I tell you, if you have nothing to do, you can find a place to go sightseeing for a while, relax your mood, and when you look back, you may suddenly be enlightened and step into the realm of Yuanying."
"I'm not so lucky."
Li Guanyuan said calmly: "Go and see your father and mother later."
Hearing this, Li Guanxuan waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I'll go see the seventh uncle and the third uncle later."
He really doesn't have much affection for his parents.
Especially my father.
As his eldest brother, Li Guanyuan can only be ranked seventeenth in his lineage. One can only imagine how many children his father has.
As for his mother, she cared about him a few times when she was a child, but then she ignored him.
Even though he was sent to Xianxu Continent, his mother had little contact with him, unlike Song Zhiqiao's father, who asked someone to take care of his daughter.
"Seventh Uncle is in retreat. I can accompany you to see Third Uncle." Li Guanyuan said.
"Well, after I finish, I have to accompany Zhiqiao to visit her father. If it's not comfortable to live in the Song family, I can arrange a better place." Li Guanxuan nodded.
Li Guanyuan said calmly: "Now that you are in Yongning, you can indeed walk sideways."
"Don't say that. I've always been low-key and cautious in doing things, and I didn't cause any trouble. After setting up Wuju Mountain, I came to visit my relatives as soon as possible. Isn't this considered a sideways move?"
Li Guanxuan said: "But having said that, there is a sword peak in Wuju Mountain. The sword power is no weaker than the Li Family Immortal Mountain. Brother, if you are free, you can go there and practice in seclusion for a while."
Hearing this, Li Guanyuan's heart moved slightly and he even raised his eyelids.
Seeing this, Li Guanxuan smiled.
In the past, his eldest brother prepared golden elixirs for him, and now he can give something back to his eldest brother.
Li Guanxuan threw out a jade bottle and said: "There is a third-level top-quality healing elixir inside, which can resolve the hidden wounds in your body. There are three pills in total, one pill a month, and you will be completely back to normal in three months."
"Um."
Li Guanyuan nodded and did not refuse. He just said that he had recovered, but in fact he just didn't want his brother to worry.
Unexpectedly, Li Guanxuan had already prepared the healing elixir for him.
"In the next period of time, you should cultivate yourself well in preparation for the impact on the Nascent Soul. Don't let me step into the Nascent Soul by then, and you will still be in the Golden Elixir Dzogchen."
Li Guanxuan said with a smile: "Let's go, I also took a few jars of spiritual wine brewed by Zhiqiao, and let's go to see my third uncle and have a drunken time together."
Looking at Li Guanxuan's confident and cheerful look, Li Guanyuan felt very pleased.
He actually doesn't like his mature and steady younger brother.
What he loved most was his lawless brother when he was a child.
…
Third uncle Li Wangsheng had already stretched his neck to wait for Li Guanxuan at the door of his house.
The first time Li Guanxuan returned to the Li Family Fairy Mountain, he had already sensed it.
It's just that due to the rules and etiquette of the elders, it's hard to go directly to see Li Guanxuan.
"Hahaha... you are finally back!"
Li Wangsheng stepped forward and grabbed Li Guanxuan's hand. After carefully examining it, he felt much more at ease.
There is no hidden damage or other weird things.
In addition, the Glazed Golden Pill also has six Dao lines, and its strength far exceeds that of monks in the same realm.
"Okay, okay, okay! I really did not disappoint my third uncle!"
Li Wangsheng's eyes sparkled, his face was full of joy and relief, and he laughed and said, "I'm Li..."
Li Guanxuan interrupted helplessly: "Okay, third uncle, let's go inside first. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it inside. It's too hot outside."
"Hahaha, okay, okay!"
Li Wangsheng was extremely happy and pulled Li Guanxuan in.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhong behind him was also quite pleased. At least in the Li family, there were still older generations who treated Li Guanxuan sincerely.
After the three of them sat down, Li Wangsheng looked at Li Zhong, who was always standing next to Li Guanxuan, and said in surprise: "Mr. Li, you are taking the main seat."
In terms of seniority, Li Zhong is older than Li Wangsheng, and his cultivation and status are also higher than Li Wangsheng.
Li Zhong must take the main seat.
"I will stay with the young master," Li Zhong said.
"What kind of son am I? He is also a junior in front of you, old man." Li Wangsheng said.
Li Zhong raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Li Wangsheng.
At this moment, Li Wangsheng felt a chill in his heart, and he fell into the Nine Nether Ice Cave, his heart palpitating.
"In the eyes of this old slave, the young master is the greatest." Li Zhong said in an indifferent tone.
Li Guanyuan watched silently.
He noticed Li Zhong's attitude towards Li Guanxuan from the beginning.
It's just that Li Zhong has a very high status, so he doesn't dare to ask nonsense questions.
Now that he heard Li Zhong's words, as Li Guanxuan's brother, Li Guanyuan was extremely shocked.
Li Wangsheng took a breath of cold air, his eyes full of surprise.
Others only knew a little bit about Li Zhong, but Li Wangsheng knew very well that the only person in the world who truly made Li Zhong willing to serve was the Empress.
now……
There's one more person?
"Okay, third uncle and eldest brother are not outsiders. Let's not talk about seniority rules and sit down to drink together." Li Guanxuan said.
"yes."
Li Zhong nodded, but did not sit on the main seat. Instead, he chose to sit next to Li Guanxuan.
"Third uncle, please sit over there." Li Guanxuan said helplessly.
"this……"
Li Wangsheng was confused.
If word of this gets out, Li Wangsheng will really have a lot of face.
But what puzzled him the most was why Li Zhong, who was so murderous, was willing to follow Li Guanxuan?
Picture what?
"It will be difficult to explain clearly for a while. It can even be said that I don't even understand it myself. But one thing that can be confirmed is that he is trustworthy." Li Guanxuan explained.
"In Yongning, you'd better behave like a monarch and a minister, and don't be too presumptuous." Li Guanyuan warned.
His younger brother has always been a bit naive and stupid. As the elder brother, Li Guanyuan felt that he needed to remind him.
In any case, Li Zhong has been the empress's confidant for tens of thousands of years. It is impossible for him to suddenly be willing to help Li Guanxuan and become a follower.
Before Li Guanxuan could speak, Li Zhong said: "In my heart, the young master and the holy master have the same status."
The eunuch said these words himself, which completely made Li Wangsheng and Li Guanyuan feel unbelievable.
You must know that in the Daheng Immortal Dynasty, the empress is the monarch and the heaven, and she will always be the biggest one.
As a confidant of the empress, Li Zhong actually said such treacherous words?
Are you really not afraid that the Empress will find out one day?
Li Wangsheng stared at Li Guanxuan seriously and warned him with his eyes that these words should not be spread outside.
Li Guanxuan rubbed his brows with a headache. He didn't want to explain too much on this matter, so he filled up the wine and went for a round.
After drinking, the atmosphere relaxed.
Third uncle Li Wangsheng asked: "Guanxuan, what are you going to do next?"
"What are you doing? I must be staying in Wuju Mountain and not going out. Why do I go out and make people trouble me?" Li Guanxuan said.
"I'm worried that trouble is slowly approaching you." Li Wangsheng said in a deep voice.
Li Guanxuan sighed and said, "Let's talk about it. If I stay in Wuju Mountain for hundreds of years and do nothing, all these troubles will naturally disappear."
Li Guanxuan actually planned to ask Song Zhiqiao to go to Wuhui Academy to see if there was any suitable Confucian cultivation method.
But after listening to Li Zhong's evaluation of Wuhui Academy, and the fact that everyone in the outside world labeled him as a member of the Queen's Party, Li Guanxuan felt that it would be better for him to cause less trouble.
It's nice to visit relatives and raise flowers in Wuju Mountain. There's no need to do anything else.
"Young master, please don't worry. If anyone dares to make a fuss about you, I will kill them."
Li Zhong picked up the wine glass, took a sip and said.
Li Guanyuan asked: "Mr. Li, what should my brother pay attention to in Yongning? I hope you can tell me sincerely to prevent him from being stupid and falling into the pit."
Hearing this, Li Guanxuan also looked at Li Zhong to express his inquiry.
Li Zhong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Prince, Ji Zhenxiao."
Li Guanyuan was silent.
In his heart, the person that his younger brother should be most afraid of is the Prince of Daheng, Ji Zhenxiao.
"Just because there are rumors that I am the empress's illegitimate son?"
Li Guanxuan said helplessly: "But I am really a piece of flesh that fell off my mother's body, and the blood of the Li family still flows in my body. Otherwise, how could I successfully practice the family's bloodline skills? Why don't these people use their brains to think about it."
"Young Master should understand one thing: I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."
Li Zhong said with reason: "If the Holy Lord is good to the young master, Ji Zhenxiao will be suspicious. In addition, he has long coveted the throne, so it is impossible to allow any potential threats to appear."
Speaking of this, Li Zhong said again: "In this matter, even if the young master does not come back to Daheng, Ji Zhenxiao will find the young master sooner or later, and maybe join forces with Prince Daxuan to get rid of the young master.
Therefore, if you are outside, the young master will only be in more danger. It is better to come back directly. If anyone dares to take action against the young master, even Ji Zhenxiao, the old slave will dare to kill him. "
Li Guanxuan and the three of them all saw the determination in Li Zhong's eyes.
If Ji Zhenxiao really dares to do something evil to Li Guanxuan, Li Zhong will definitely kill Ji Zhenxiao.
Li Guanxuan sighed: "It won't happen, it really won't happen, things won't come to that point... If I die, His Royal Highness will only be more passive, or even in danger. I believe he can also understand the stakes."
If you kill him, the Empress will definitely pursue him.
And judging from Li Zhong's attitude towards him, Ji Zhenxiao will definitely offend the eunuch. Is it worth it?
not worth it!
As long as Li Guanxuan is honest and does not participate in anything, there will be no trouble coming to his door.
Li Wangsheng said quietly: "Your Majesty is in the cultivation stage, and his lifespan is up to 30,000 years... Your Highness the Prince cannot survive it."
Li Guanxuan: "???"
