After Master Li left, Ji Beichen was worried about Zhao Baier going to the Kong County Magistrate's Mansion for a banquet in the evening, so he wanted to go back to the inn early. He excused himself as feeling a little tired and wanted to go to Lingxi Cave another day. Seeing that there was no hope of dissuading him, the boy had no choice but to take Ji Beichen and ride back to the village.
As soon as the two entered Jianzhuang, Ji Beichen opened his spiritual consciousness. He planned to use his spiritual consciousness to confirm whether Master Li would go to the county magistrate's house for a banquet tonight?
Ji Beichen opened his inner vision in the sea of consciousness. As spiritual power continued to pour into the sea of consciousness, the images presented in front of him became clearer and clearer. Ji Beichen used his spiritual consciousness to search for traces of the two of them in the village, and finally found them in the garden of the inner courtyard.
Zhuangzhu Li and Li Qier were arguing about something in the inner courtyard at this time. Ji Beichen listened for a long time and heard the content of the argument: Magistrate Kong's servant had just been ordered to come to Jianzhuang to bring a message, saying that General Zhao Bai'er, the Cangzhou defender, had come to Wuyou Town. General Zhao has just broken through to the object expulsion stage. This time he came to Wuyou Town to find a magic weapon that he could get his hands on. Master Li must bring the spiritual sword to the banquet tonight!
At this time, in the garden of the inner courtyard, Li Qier was discussing with Master Li about going to the county magistrate's house for a banquet in the evening. When she knew that her father had just agreed to attend the banquet, she worried and said: "Father, you go to the county magistrate's house." No, this is obviously a Hongmen Banquet!"
Master Li raised his eyebrows when he heard Li Qier's words. How could he not know that tonight was a Hongmen Banquet!
The real name of Master Li is Li Kuisheng. Cangzhou people only know him as the owner of Juhe Sword Manor and a famous spirit sword forger. However, few people know that in his early years, he was just a boxer who lived at the bottom of the world.
More than ten years ago, Li Kuisheng and Li Qier first arrived in Wuyou Town. The reason why he came to Wuyou Town was because Li Kuisheng wanted to change his career. Li Kuisheng used to make a living in Xiliang by helping people collect debts. When he was collecting debts in Liangzhou City, he accidentally adopted an adopted daughter, Li Qier.
With people tied together, Li Kuisheng could no longer do the life-threatening business, so the two left the sad place of Xiliang and came to Dongcang, which was more harmonious and stable.
Li Kuisheng's ancestor was a famous foreign boxer, but with the popularity of immortality and everyone pursuing immortality, foreign martial arts had long since declined, and only a few moves had been passed down to him.
Although Li Kuisheng is not very advanced in kung fu, he has been practicing boxing since he was a child, so he is still very strong. Li Kuisheng opened a blacksmith shop in Wuyou Town when he saw that casting magic tools was popular in Wuyou Town.
The business of Li Kuisheng, a blacksmith who became a monk on the way, is neither good nor bad. Although he is not good at tempering, he knows Kung Fu and is good at studying weapons. Many people come to him to design magical weapons.
Once, Li Kuisheng and Li Qier went up the mountain to look for iron ore for casting magical weapons. Li Qier learned several Feng Shui yin and yang secret techniques from an old Taoist when she was a child. Li Qier used these secret techniques to find several places with good iron ore. Unexpectedly, on the way up the mountain to search for ore, something unexpected happened.
While Li Qier was concentrating on locating the mineral vein, she accidentally stepped on the air and fell from the cliff. When Li Kuisheng saw Li Qier falling onto the bottomless cliff, he knew that Li Qier would probably not survive. Li Kuisheng was so heartbroken that he jumped off the cliff in despair.
However, as luck would have it, the two of them did not fall to death at the bottom of the cliff, but were rescued one after another. Li Kuisheng still remembers the scene when he was reborn after the disaster and met his "benefactor".
Li Kuisheng had just woken up. He thought he was dead. Even if he was alive, his muscles and bones would be broken, but he felt no pain at all. He opened his eyes with doubts.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Li Kuisheng saw a handsome face with sharp edges and domineering side. The man looked like he was in his thirties and looked unusually cold.
However, the words in the stern man's mouth were completely inconsistent with his cold and arrogant temperament. Li Kui almost became angry to death when he spoke: "Are you awake? I didn't expect you to be tall and thick, and you are quite infatuated!"
As soon as Li Kuisheng heard this, he knew that not only did he not die, but the scene of his suicide was also seen by this person. He was furious and said angrily to the person: "What...are you trying to save me for? Qier is gone." , what’s the point of living alone!”
Leng Junnan saw that Li Kuisheng was angry with him. Instead of being annoyed, he playfully smiled and said coquettishly to a gentle woman beside him: "Ci'er, look at what I'm saying. Even if I save him, I won't do it." Appreciate it!”
The woman named "Ci'er" frowned and scolded the man: "Yijun, stop making trouble, Miss Qi'er has cried several times!"
"You mean Qier..." Seeing the gentle woman mention Li Qier, Li Kuisheng stood up excitedly and went to grab her arm, but Leng Junnan roughly pushed him back to the bed.
Seeing that Li Kuisheng was anxious, the gentle woman hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Brother Li, don't worry, Miss Qier is still alive, it was my husband who saved you. However, Miss Qier just heard that you... died for her, so she Somewhat emotional!”
The gentle woman was a little shy when she said the word "die for love" and glanced at Leng Junnan in confusion.
Li Kuisheng understood something from the words of the two people, and immediately explained: "It's not about sacrificing love! Qier is my daughter. I saw something happened to her, and I couldn't think about it for a moment..."
When the gentle woman heard Li Kuisheng's words, she breathed a sigh of relief and said coquettishly to Leng Junnan: "How can Yijun arrange other people's affairs randomly? Brother Li is almost forty years old at first glance. How can he be Qier's lover!"
Seeing that his beloved wife was angry, Leng Junnan quickly hugged her shoulders and echoed: "Ci'er is right, you see he is old and ugly, and the girl is fair and beautiful, how can they be husband and wife!"
When Li Kuisheng heard the conversation between the two, he suddenly felt a little dizzy. He rubbed his temples with his rough hands and said feebly: "Two benefactors, I have only practiced martial arts since I was a child and have been traveling around all year round. She just looks old, I am only twenty-four this year. Qier... is only ten years younger than me, so accepting her as my adopted daughter is just an entrustment!"
Li Kuisheng and Li Qier survived the disaster. They lived in the "benefactor"'s house for a long time, and the two families often communicated with each other after they returned.
After contact, Li Kuisheng learned that the cold handsome man was named Ji Yijun, the gentle woman was named Mu Ci, and the couple had an eight-year-old son named Achen. The two were originally nobles in Cangzhou City. After getting married, they lived in seclusion in the mountains on the outskirts of Wuyou Town. This mountain range is the dragon vein that the Ji family has guarded for generations.
Ji Yijun was well versed in kendo and sword-making techniques, and Li Kuisheng often came to him to discuss martial arts and sword-making. When Ji Yijun saw that Li Qier had talent in swordsmanship, he accepted her as his disciple and taught her swordsmanship, but he refused to teach her mental skills.
He only teaches swordsmanship but not mental skills. In fact, it was Li Kuisheng who asked Ji Yijun to teach him. The "father and daughter" even had a big quarrel about this.
That day, Li Qier came back from the suburbs. Lao Gao, with a pout on his lips, complained as soon as he entered the door: "Father, why don't master teach me the mental method? I also want to become an immortal!"
Li Kuisheng knew that Li Qier aspired to higher attainments in swordsmanship, but he promised Li Qier's parents to let her be an ordinary mortal.
When Li Kuisheng saw Li Qier acting petty and standing at the door and refusing to come in, he pulled her into the room to sit down and said earnestly: "What's so good about cultivating an immortal? Wouldn't it be better for my adoptive father to accompany you and become a happy mortal? Practice martial arts." The original intention is to strengthen the body, and immortality goes against the laws of nature!"
When Li Qier heard what Li Kuisheng said, she was so angry that she jumped up from her chair and vented to Li Kuisheng: "I knew it must be you, the old stubborn, who asked Master not to teach me the mental method! You always said that cultivating immortals is not good, But if the master hadn't been a monk and knew how to wield a sword that day, you and I would have fallen to our death at the bottom of the cliff!"
After the quarrel that day, Li Qier stopped practicing her sword and spent the whole day sulking in her boudoir. Li Kuisheng was too stupid to persuade her, and he was still worried that something might happen to her, so he stayed at home with her all day long, and the blacksmith shop was closed. In this way, the two of them didn't speak for more than half a month, and Ji Yijun hadn't been there for almost a whole month.
Unexpectedly, something happened to Ji Yijun's family in this month. On the day that Ji Yijun's family of three disappeared, fires burned all day and night outside Wuyou Town. When Li Kuisheng and Li Qier arrived, the courtyard that had once been full of laughter and laughter had been burned down to the point where only the stone foundation was left.
Li Kuisheng heard from people in the town that the only daughter and son-in-law of City Lord Mu lived in the burned house outside the city. The Mu family was exterminated in Cangzhou City, and even their married daughter was not spared!
But no matter what others say, Li Kuisheng always believes that Ji Yijun is not dead. That "old monster" who has lived for thousands of years will not die so easily!
Li Kuisheng and Li Qier paid homage on the ruins for three days. After three days, they got back on their feet. They vowed to guard this mountain range for Ji Yijun and wait here for Ji Yijun's return!
The next year, Li Kuisheng built Juhe Sword Manor on the ruins. He used the sword-making method taught to him by Ji Yijun and forged a spiritual sword every year to relieve the pain of missing him. And Li Qier, in addition to practicing swordplay every day, spends all day searching for dragon veins in the back mountains, trying to find his master through clues!
So Li Kuisheng knew from the beginning that what County Magistrate Kong wanted was not a spiritual sword at all. What he had coveted for a long time was the mountain behind Juhe Jianzhuang, the mountain range he had been guarding for his old friend.
Magistrate Kong had repeatedly invited Li Kuisheng to "join the gang" before, but Li Kuisheng had refused to do so many times, so tonight Magistrate Kong will definitely not give up until he achieves his goal, even if the fish is dead and the net is broken!
"How can I not go? I have declined three times. Tonight is a welcome banquet for General Zhao, how can I not go!" Li Kuisheng knew that Li Qier was worried about him. The two of them have been used to dealing with each other for so many years. There are all kinds of people who covet the dragon vein, but this time is different!
"If it doesn't work, I'll kill that dog officer!" Li Qier was furious. She knew that it would be a disaster if she went there tonight. But she is not afraid. Her life should have been handed down in the stream of the back mountain more than ten years ago. If it weren't for the master...
"Nonsense, County Magistrate Kong has now taken refuge with the Yan Yue Sect, and General Zhao is also at the Expulsion Stage, how can you be their opponent!" Li Kuisheng saw Li Qier looking at death and was so angry that he took the tight fist from Li Qier's hand. The spiritual sword in hand.
