Chapter 103 Famous Sword, Eternal Night
"Are you Xiaohao?"
In addition to Li Qianfeng, among the three generations standing outside the hall were He Jianlan's children.
Li Mingguang and Li Sibei are both about thirty-five years old now.
In terms of age, he is much taller than Li Hao and others, almost double the difference.
Both of them have been in the army for a long time, and are now generals in the army, with extremely high cultivation. Li Mingguang has just entered the first stage of the three immortals, and his sister Li Sibei has also entered the heavenly realm for many years.
In terms of cultivation, both of them are the best among the three generations of the Li family.
The same is true when it comes to merit.
After all, age is here.
But He Jianlan had said in his early years that his children would not compete for the True Dragon seat.
Since these words are public, they are naturally extremely binding.
However, even if there is a fight, among the same age group, Li Mingguang did not enter the fifteen-mile realm until he was eighteen years old.
Entering the realm of heaven and humans at the age of twenty-five.
Now ten years have passed and we have entered the Three Immortals. Such progress is already extraordinary!
However, compared with Li Qianfeng and Li Hao, they are much inferior to those of the same age.
At this moment, Li Mingguang looked at Li Hao with a smile on his face.
He had already heard this name before he returned to Qingzhou, and he had a lot of expectations for this cousin who had never been masked before.
Such an amazing talent and beauty has already surpassed Uncle Jiu back then.
He and his sister Li Sibei were born early, and they grew up with Uncle Jiu when they were children. Speaking of which, he is older than Uncle Jiu!
but.
Given his seniority, when he saw Uncle Jiu, who was two years younger than him, he still had to bow his head obediently and call him uncle respectfully and politely.
In addition to the strict rules of the Li family, he was also willing to call. After all, Uncle Jiu, who played and practiced with him when he was a child, later set out to practice and became pure.
Every year it shocks everyone in the courtyard, like a shining meteor.
It's a pity that God is jealous of talents.
Fourteen years ago, when Uncle Nine fell, he accompanied him with a jug of wine in the distant border army.
Drinking is a taboo in the military, but he drank anyway.
After drinking, he took the initiative to receive the punishment. He was rewarded with a hundred military whips and was beaten until the skin was torn and the flesh was bloody.
But he didn't even frown at that time, instead he smiled.
But when he returned to his tent later, he burst into tears.
"Cousin."
Li Hao nodded and greeted Li Mingguang.
"Even I can't see through your cultivation. You kid, it seems that you have also practiced the technique of masking your aura." Li Mingguang said with a smile.
Li Hao smiled slightly.
Li Mingguang looked at Li Qianfeng next to him. Compared with Li Hao's breeze, Li Qianfeng was like a sharp sword that was half an inch out of its sheath. Although it was restrained, it already showed a cold edge, and its aura was even more profound and majestic. , there are many realms exceeding the ordinary fifteen miles.
Seeing that both his cousins were so promising, Li Mingguang had a look of relief in his eyes: "This time I come back to see you compete for the real dragon. Your eldest sister and I will not participate. In terms of qualifications, we are not as good as you. We will have to compete in the future." It’s up to you.”
Li Qianfeng nodded slightly: "Don't worry, cousin."
Li Hao glanced at the other person and thought that this cousin's character was somewhat similar to his aunt's imagination.
Regardless of his talent, his elder brother's demeanor makes him somewhat suitable for being the head of the family, in Li Hao's opinion.
"However, if you fight for it, don't hold grudges secretly in your heart."
Next to me, my cousin Li Sibei warned me.
She and her brother both took off their armor and changed into clothes, wearing brocade clothes. However, they had been fighting in the army all year round. Their postures were upright, and their eyebrows looked a bit more heroic than those of ordinary women.
"That's what my cousin said."
Li Hao smiled and nodded.
Li Qianfeng nodded, looking calm.
Seeing the two people expressing their opinions like this, Li Sibei smiled slightly, looked behind the two of them, and nodded slightly to say hello to Li Wushuang and the others. It was inconvenient to talk outside the hall at this moment, so he did not reminisce about the past one by one.
Not long after, the fathers in the hall finished paying homage to grandma and called Li Hao and other three generations of the Li family in.
Led by Li Mingguang, everyone followed one after another. After entering the hall, they saw grandma Chen Hefang sitting at the top of the hall. The other fathers and ladies of each courtyard were sitting on both sides. The rest of the concubines stood obediently behind the ladies of each courtyard.
Li Mingguang was a tall and generous man. When he walked into the hall, he knelt down and worshiped.
The others followed, all kneeling down to worship.
"Everyone, get up." Chen Hefang said with a smile.
Everyone stood up, and Li Hao raised his head to look at this grandma. Her hair was as white as silver and neatly combed. She looked old, with wrinkles on her skin but no age spots. She had a rosy complexion and looked like an extremely clean old lady.
And even though she is old, it can be seen that she was a very beautiful woman when she was young. Although she is old, she has beautiful bones.
While Li Hao was looking at them, Chen Hefang was also looking at these grandchildren.
She is most familiar with Li Mingguang. She hugged him when he was a child and often came to Qinglian Courtyard to play with Jun Ye.
However, since the eldest brother and the third child died in battle, followed by Xiaojiu and Xiaoliu, her hair turned gray overnight and she left all the affairs of the house to her eldest daughter-in-law, He Jianlan.
And she herself went to Wangyou Mountain to eat fast and pray for blessings, hoping that Xiao Jiu's heroic spirit would return soon.
Thinking of Xiaoliu and Xiaojiu, Chen Hefang's eyes became more sad.
Over the years, I have dreamed of them running towards me countless times at night, as cheerful and high-spirited as when I was a child, calling for mother, mother...
Those two children were in so much pain, one was an only child and the other was not married yet.
He has been practicing hard since he was a child, and before he could even take a look at the prosperity of the world, he was buried in the frontier.
"Mingguang, come here and let grandma take a look at you."
Chen Hefang put away her emotions without showing much, and said with a smile.
Li Mingguang looked at the grandmother's head full of white hair, his eyes filled with distress. He stepped forward and bent his spine, which had been straight from traveling outside.
"At the border, don't be greedy for merit and rush forward. My Li family already has no shortage of merit and glory."
Chen Hefang gently touched her eldest grandson's shoulder and said softly: "Grandma, I just hope that you all can live well." After saying these words, many ladies had tears in their eyes.
Jiang Xian'er, who was sitting in the last seat, had moist eyes and turned her head slightly.
These young men are still there, and how many of those young men from back then have returned?
Those high-spirited young men are the fathers and husbands of these children today.
Li Mingguang's heart trembled, and he nodded vigorously: "My grandson, please remember this."
Chen Hefang's eyes were soft, and she called Li Sibei to her side. She looked carefully at this little girl who was once a handsome girl. They said that her daughter resembled her father, and her features were similar to those of her eldest son, Li Xingbei. resemblance.
Chen Hefang liked it more and more and couldn't help but sigh.
Then, she looked at the other grandchildren, and when she glanced over them, she saw their young cheeks, which were beginning to show their splendor and the heroic demeanor of a young man.
Although it was the first time we met, we could see many familiar shadows inside.
"Who is Hao'er?"
Chen Hefang said softly.
Li Hao was slightly startled and took half a step forward: "My grandson has met grandma."
Chen Hefang looked up and down, waved gently, and said with a smile: "Come here and show grandma."
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Hao obediently stepped forward and came to Chen Hefang.
Chen Hefang looked at Li Hao carefully, then sighed softly and said, "She looks so much like your mother!"
Li Hao's eyes moved slightly but did not speak.
"When we first met, grandma didn't give you anything. I heard that you like to use swords, so grandma gave you one."
Chen Hefang said, calling the servant beside him and bringing up a sword box.
Seeing the appearance of the sword box, Li Tiangang couldn't help but stand up and said: "Mother, this, this is the ninth brother's..."
Jiang Xianer's eyes also stared slightly.
"That's right, it's the sword that your ninth brother once used, Yongye!"
Chen Hefang stroked the sword box with her palm, looked at Li Hao with loving eyes, and said: "This sword is one of the ten famous swords in the world. I heard that you also use the sword, so I gave it to you. Don't let the famous sword be covered in dust."
Li Hao's heart was shocked. Among the ten famous swords in the world, this was a sword that could kill the great monster of the Four Realms. It was extremely sharp.
And this sword has extremely special power, but it needs to reach the corresponding level before it can be used.
At present, in his hands, it can only kill souls and eliminate evil spirits, and it is also sharp.
But enough is enough.
"Thank you, grandma." Li Hao took it and said softly.
Although he said it softly, Chen Hefang could hear the solemnity in the child's words and couldn't help but smile.
Everyone else was silent. This sword had been sealed for many years, but now it was handed over to Li Hao, which showed that the mother loved this grandson whom she met for the first time.
However, it was probably because Chen Hefang saw the shadow of Li Junye in Li Hao.
They are all so dazzling and bright.
In the crowd, Li Qianfeng's eyes darkened and he said nothing.
Liu Yuerong was smiling, but her smile seemed a little forced. But at this moment, everyone's eyes were on Li Hao and the black sword box, and no one paid attention to her.
After entrusting the sword box to Li Hao, Chen Hefang called Li Qianfeng to him.
She said softly: "I heard that you are practicing in Wuliang Mountain. I have three precious Buddhist scriptures here, so I gave them to you."
Li Qianfeng's face looked a little unnatural.
Send famous swords to Li Hao, and Buddhist scriptures yourself?
But he didn’t dare to show it, he still lowered his head and said, “Thank you, grandma.”
Chen Hefang smiled and said: "There is a top Buddhist technique in this Buddhist scripture, the Great Compassion Hand. If you can master it, not only the power of this palm technique itself, but also the improvement of the palm technique will be helpful to your future sword practice."
Li Qianfeng was stunned and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you, grandma!"
Chen Hefang waved his hand and asked him and Li Hao to step aside. Then he called the other grandchildren and gave them some greeting gifts one after another. Although there was a difference between these gifts, they were not big.
After the meeting was over, everyone dispersed from Qinglianyuan.
However, Chen Hefang stopped He Jianlan and several other ladies and seemed to want to inquire about the situation in the mansion over the years. At the same time, he also asked Liu Yuerong to inform the Si Lijing Bodhisattva who came down from Wuliang Mountain and lived in the mansion to come and meet them.
…
…
Time flies.
After the old lady came out of the mountain, Qingzhou City became more and more lively.
Soon, the day of the real dragon's decision came.
Outside the gate of the Divine General's Mansion, the streets were crowded. A large number of carriages were coming, all of them were dignitaries. Many civil servants and military generals came from all over the Nineteen Prefectures to express their congratulations.
Such a grand event happened once more than ten years ago, and it is just as lively now.
The threshold of the Divine General's Mansion is about to be trampled down.
Clan members of the Liu family arrived one after another.
In other states, the Liu family is also a big local family. In recent years, when Liu Yuerong married into the Divine General's Mansion, the Liu family naturally took advantage of the Li family and developed even more rapidly, and was promoted in official positions in the court.
The Liu family has mostly civil servants, and several of their ancestors served as officials in the current dynasty.
In addition to many civil servants and generals from the Liu family, there were also other counts and marquises who also visited Li Qianfeng to support him and show his connections.
In addition, people from the other four great generals' mansions also came, but they were just ordinary visitors and did not stand by anyone. They seemed to just come to see what kind of strength the Li family's true dragon was.
There was no end to the commotion outside the hospital.
In the courtyard, Li Hao moved an old man's chair and basked in the sun comfortably.
Not long after, Bian Ruxue ran back into the courtyard, followed by a series of footsteps.
Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the poetry collection hanging on his face to block the sun, turned his head and looked, and saw a familiar face.
The beard and hair are all white, and the steel is as strong as a sword. The person walking at the front behind Bian Ruxue is actually the sword master, Jian Wudao.
