Chapter 26 The Children

Ahem, cough, cough, I went too far again, and I brought it back.

It is said that senior brother Lu Yu has two children in the foundation period. One daughter is called Lu Yun, who was born to a maid who filled the house. She has a gentle temperament, is considerate and generous, quite similar to her father. She is very popular both at home and outside the house, both in and out of Zhushan.

One son is named Lu Qi, and his mother is a singing prostitute who was raised outside the courtyard. He is hardworking and diligent in spiritual practice. He often works in the outside courtyard and does errands for the sect to support the family. He has also made friends with many casual cultivators, and has won the title of Lu Qi since he was a child. He is very diligent in providing financial support to his family. He refuses to take it for free and takes the initiative to help his family's workshop and business. He is also very popular among relatives.

Both of them were founded at the age of sixteen and were very talented. They had learned some of the Lu family's family knowledge and Mozhu Mountain's escape techniques. They were registered disciples of the outer sect. They received personal advice from Lu Yu, and were protected by the golden elixir monks, who also had magic weapons. There were quite a few of them, and there weren't any big conflicts in the family originally. After all, Lu Yun had become successful in cultivation and didn't stay in the clan family much anymore, while Lu Qi would never come to the house at all.

It happened that Lu Yu was suddenly killed, but his wife did not tell Lu Qi the news, and wanted to hand over the position of head of the Lu family to Lu Xun privately.

Lu Qi was still practicing outside the mountain, but he actually heard from fellow Taoists that his father had been killed. He rushed back only seven days ago and learned that his biological mother wanted to come to offer incense, but was blocked by the main room, who wouldn't even let her in. , got so angry that he was about to fall out in the mourning hall.

And Lu Yun was also extremely dissatisfied. After all, she was hosting the Seventh Ceremony and wanted to get things done. But just as she stepped forward to stop Lu Qi from causing trouble, the two of them talked face to face, and then they realized that the main wife was actually still having fun. A hand.

It turned out that in addition to the position of head of the family and the Lu family's property, the Lu family also had some secret treasures that were passed down from male to female, secrets of the Tiangong mechanism, and the principal wife actually didn't tell her a word. She obviously just wanted to use them. This concubine just blocked the gun, but she also turned against her immediately.

This is not the most embarrassing thing. The most embarrassing thing is that Lu Yu actually has an eldest son, Lu Qi, born from the main wife.

Well, it's no wonder that the Lu family went too far. After all, the Lu family's family business and inheritance were originally meant to be inherited by the eldest son.

But this guy just doesn't live up to expectations. He only has the family history of a cultivating family. Ten miles away is the Five Immortals Soup of Lou Guan Tao Pagoda. This guy just didn't build a foundation. Can you believe that he is still practicing Qi to this day?

Well, it’s not that I don’t believe it. At least Li Fan can understand that he hasn’t had enough fun...

It really has nothing to do with qualifications. This immortal Lu Qi is simply a spoiled dandy who spends his days in Zhoufang restaurants, singing and dancing, having fun, but he is not in a hurry! He is just having fun!

Anyway, these days, especially for people from these aristocratic families, building a foundation is really easy. Lu Qi also knew that he would grow slowly after building a foundation, so he deliberately delayed some years. Now he is in his twenties, and he has grown taller. He is handsome and unrestrained, isn't it just for the convenience of doing exercises with the ladies and thinking about playing in the world.

What's more, he relied on his father Jin Dan to protect him, and he could still rely on his family's power in Li country. Now he has gone to Changsi City, the capital of Li country, and is acting like one of the four young masters. Now that his father has been killed, I can't contact my family, and I haven't returned yet. I don't know which elegant courtyard I'm hiding in to drink wine, but I can't see anyone. I really have nothing to say.

In this way, his mother planned to hide the Lu family's inheritance secretly, and wait for her son to come back soon to establish the foundation and inherit it.

But after all, the Lu family is a cultivating family. It has been passed down for generations and the family has a great business. However, the two foundation-building disciples who are more ambitious and already have some Taoism and connections do not support it and support the second generation ancestor who is talented in Qi training? Who is this disgusting?

In this way, the relatives in the mourning hall were also dissatisfied, and they started making noises, and finally turned into a group supporting Lu Yun, and a group supporting Lu Qi, and the dispute became violent. It was also the easiest time for Lu to get involved when his father was newly bereaved. Qi, who had looked down upon others since he was a child and had been wronged so much, actually called out for a sword fight, while Lu Yun, who was soft on the outside but strong on the inside, had suffered enough and jumped onto a branch when she had the chance, and refused to let go, so she actually agreed with gritted teeth.

Brother Gao Dao was beeping and gossiping for a while, which made Li Fan and Yuan Xuanbao feel embarrassed.

How can I say this? Not all wealthy families are like this? After all, with the trend these days, what else can be said? A counterattack by an illegitimate son of a concubine is a small probability event, okay? Who knew that the Lu family would actually encounter it? He also tried two and opened a double-yolked egg. I don’t know whether he is lucky or bad...

And you can't blame it all on the main wife. You see, Senior Brother Lu's name is Qi, Meiyu, Qi, Sandstone, Nymphoides, and Waterweed. How did he arrange it in his own mind? How can others not be impressed by it?

However, Senior Brother Lu was probably worried about the behavior of his legitimate son, so he trained two concubine children with extraordinary qualifications to protect him, and also took extra care of underachievers like Xuan Bao, Daotong, and Qingyue to provide for his second son. The son of Shizu accumulated popularity.

I just didn't expect that he would suddenly die, and all the previous foolproof arrangements would be overturned. It's also sad...

"Brother Xuanbao, which side do you want to support?" Li Fan looked down and saw that the Lu family had planted flags in the yard. Ahem, literally, they put up a circle of talisman flags and circled a dojo to avoid fighting. It's not good for the sword light escape method to fly around and hurt the flowers and plants.

"This...Actually, I have heard about Senior Brother Lu's children," Yuan Xuanbao was also confused for a while, "Lu Yun is smart and handy. Although she is still practicing metalworking in the shop, she is very popular and will have the opportunity to be favored by Master Du in the future. , has a bright future. But she has a strong temper, probably because she is not willing to miss out on the Lu family’s secrets of the ancestral mechanism just because she is a daughter.

Lu Qi is also a rare talent. It is rare these days that he is willing to practice kung fu honestly and work hard on his muscles and bones. If he becomes my master, he will be able to practice a set of hegemonic kung fu. With his With hard work and determination not to be outdone by others, it will be easy to achieve the Golden Elixir in the future. But this time I was really irritated and I am afraid I will not be kind.

And... I've actually heard of that Lu Qi. He doesn't seem to be a pure drunkard. In fact, the reputation of the four young masters is not bad. He knows how to socialize, which is more in line with the requirements of the head of a family like the Lu family. , Senior Brother Lu’s family tradition is not like pampering his legitimate son..."

It’s all fine. It’s the same thing if you said it and if you didn’t say it...

The Taoist Brother Gao also shook his head repeatedly, "Senior Brother Lu is dead, and the Lu family is in such internal strife. If enemies come to visit us in the future, how can we unite to protect ourselves? Alas, it seems that an ancient immortal clan like the Lu family is unavoidable. It’s in decline.”

The dojo below has been decorated. Lu Yun and Lu Qi entered the courtyard. They stood in one direction and the other in the courtyard in front of the mourning hall. They were all wearing black robes underneath and wearing linen and mourning on the outside. They were not shy about going outside. Many monks seemed to want to kill the head of the Lu family in a fair and just way in front of everyone.

This is a bit childish. Li Fan touched his chin and looked at the two young people below who probably wanted to fight and change their fate.

They were completely deceived by those relatives. No matter which one of them wins, they are all born as concubines. No matter how good their qualifications are and how hard they work, how can they use the resources of the Lu family's side rooms? Maybe any shopkeeper will dare to fool them. .But this kind of thing is, after all, a family matter of the Lu family, and it’s really hard for outsiders to get involved.

When these two people came to the public, they saw that their appearance was exactly the same as that of Senior Brother Lu. The eyebrows and eyes were at least 70% similar. Lu Yun's facial lines were softer, and her body was fair and slender, making her look gentler. But she has a heroic spirit at heart, and is not a timid little girl. Lu Qi is taller and thinner, and her skin is brown, probably from being exposed to wind and sun all the time. Her eyes are quite sharp. She is as stubborn as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. strength.

After all, the two of them knew that it would be too unseemly to start a fight at this time. If there was blood, the Lu family would be shameless. Therefore, the family did not call it a serious fight. When they came out, they both used wooden swords. The explanation given by the guests was that the two performed a sword dance to see their father off.

Then everyone just pretends to believe that you are practicing sword dance.

After all, it is obvious that the emotions of these two young people have been completely stirred up, and their expressions of sadness and anger cannot be said to be fake. Children of concubines have no human rights in these days. How can they achieve the level of foundation building today? , it’s impossible to say that Senior Brother Lu didn’t teach him carefully. Both of their eyes were red, as if they were just venting their emotions over the years, they came up and handed over their hands, and started fighting directly.

But it's so weak...

Li Fan is not being weird, he is objectively stating the facts.

Those with high EQ would say that their sword dance was pretty good, and the music they sang together was pretty cool. Those with low EQ would say that there were too many fake moves.

It's jumping and leaping, and you have to spin three and a half times in the air. You come up with a sword flower, and I'll give you a big windmill. It doesn't look like a killing sword skill, but more like a martial arts movie. The action is quite enjoyable to watch. Strong. Li Fan was a little worried at first, but looking at it like this, at most the loser would be beaten with disheveled hair, a bruised nose and face, and lose a little face. You can't stab someone to death with a wooden sword, right?

But having said that, at this level, if he really encounters what Li Fan has experienced before, not to mention the evil way, even the fake bearded swordsmanship can kill people more efficiently than this trick.

"Xuantian Sword Intention said, Zhushan's rubbish swordsmanship. However, this is not a swordsmanship for killing people. It is practiced daily to stretch the muscles and promote coordination of movements. However, the effect of body training is not ranked at all, and it is not as good as those of the Overlord Body." Where's the work?'

Li Fanruo had some realization, and looked at Yuan Xuanbao's expressionless face as he watched the two juniors duel, then he approached and asked, "Brother Xuanbao, what do you think of their moves?"

Yuan Xuanbao shrugged and commented casually, "It's just so-so. It only took two or three years to build the foundation. It's pretty good to be able to perform like this with external skills."

"Then how do they compare with those Jianghu people? And at this level... If you reach your level, Brother Xuanbao, can you beat those soldiers of the Mountain Patrol?"

Yuan Xuanbao glanced at Li Fan sideways, "Are you still thinking about what happened in the inn, and want to seek revenge against the eunuch privately? How old are you this year? How many days have you been practicing? You haven't practiced martial arts before, have you? What do you know? Escape swordsmanship? How many times can one breath be used?"

Li Fan shrugged. Isn't it because some people in the dark are still pointing out that he should save the common people now? If he doesn't go out to maintain world peace, he will be like the Holy Mother Bitch White Lotus.

Yuan Xuanbao glanced at him and said, "Qingyue, don't blame me for what I said. But you are lucky enough to survive from the evil corpse. Killing that golden elixir is a great blessing. To do so

You know, even if we monks in the foundation-building stage can be physically stronger and faster than ordinary martial arts people, we are still mortal bodies of flesh and blood and cannot withstand swords. If we really want to fight with the enemy in this realm, it will be impossible.

It's better to get a pair of crossbows and wear a set of armor to protect yourself. That's more practical than any other magic weapon.

Listen to my advice, wait until you have achieved the golden elixir, built a golden body, and raised a high-grade flying sword, and then think about traveling around the world to avenge your shame."

Xuantian Jianyi said, what this guy said is right. The host does not need to take detours and retreat first! He has been squatting for 17 or 18 years to achieve the five ghosts and gods hiding the golden elixir. Then we will go to Leize to open a few boxes of flying swords to practice our skills.

.The sword pill last time was actually pretty good and could be added to my collection. It’s a pity that this little one slipped away.'

Is this the kind of routine that says, 'I'll kill you all when I'm out of seclusion after I've achieved great feats of magic!'...

The truth is the same, wait until you reach full level before going out to commit suicide, ahem, to settle the cause and effect.

But the problem is, according to the practice of Tai Chi Immortal Way, the level of Qi training to foundation building is physical. If you have enough spiritual energy and knock on a few five elements treasures, you can build the foundation no matter what.

But when it comes to building the foundation to the golden elixir level, it’s not just the quality requirements of Qi, but also talent.

From a purely theoretical perspective, one must first refine the true energy in the sea of ​​energy into liquid spiritual marrow, and then condense the spiritual marrow into a golden elixir.

Specific to Li Fan's situation, in the first stage, as long as he cultivates the Five Elements Sword Demon, has a sufficient supply of spiritual energy, works hard all the time, or prays to the moon, he can almost refine the spiritual marrow. This kind of spiritual cultivation can

When the marrow is infused but the golden elixir has not yet been cast, it is called the foundation building stage being completed.

But the second stage is to break through the realm. The process of condensing the spiritual essence into the golden elixir is more mysterious and requires a certain amount of understanding and patience. Many people cannot break through in their lifetime. Even Xuantian, who has the qualifications of Li Fan,

Jianyi still conservatively estimated that he would be in seclusion for seventeen or eight years.

After all, the people he came into contact with, such as Poria, Chen Daotong, and Yuan Xuanbao, were all stuck in the realm of perfect foundation building.

"Keep a man under the sword!"

Wha, what? What's going on?

Li Fanzheng was wandering around, thinking about the training in the foundation building period. When the Shenyuan Xuanbao rushed out, he threw out the strange-looking iron hand, but what he caught was not a sword, but Lu Qi.

He directly grabbed the bastard by his collar and pulled him out of the dojo.

And he was not the only one, including the Taoist Brother Gao, and several of the casual cultivators who were watching took action, but they were not trying to help, but were really concentrating on watching the competition.

Seeing that Lu Yun was at a disadvantage, his wooden sword was knocked away, and he fell sideways. Lu Qi caught up with him again, as if he wanted to seal his throat with a sword, so many people immediately took action, not wanting to cause trouble.

But who knew that Lu Yun just deliberately buried a flaw, split the wrist of his right arm with a backhand, and shot out a secret dart hidden in the forearm mechanism, as thin as a cow hair and as dense as an iron feather, almost jumping in the air and unable to dodge.

The land was sieved.

Unfortunately, many people rushed towards me, trying to pull someone away and stop someone else, otherwise someone would really die.

Wow... It seems that this is really the most practical way to use crossbow armor! And we agreed that everyone should not get involved?

Li Fan also took out a large roll of ink thread, which was now his daily supply, and rushed forward to check Lu Qi's injury.

The young man was still hit by several darts, but it was not a fatal injury, and it was not serious. However, he was hit by a hidden weapon, and his face was covered with disheveled hair. His expression also looked like a collapse, and he yelled in disbelief.

"You! You actually cut off an arm! Modify the mechanism!"

Oh, yes...

Li Fan turned around and looked at Lu Yun, who was standing among the crowd. His right hand was split into eight petals, unfolding like layers of lotus. There were copper and silver wires on the bone wall, and two spindle-like coils that were spinning continuously. Stop, tighten the needle on the recycling thread, it’s still recyclable...

The relatives of the Lu family around them also looked horrified. Even if they were all inherited from the Tiangong family, some of them were able to change it themselves...

"I made this lotus arm! You saw it! Father! Golden lotus can also grow from Nymphoides!" Lu Yun raised her head, not caring about the monster-like expressions of the people around her, and only raised her right arm in front of the mourning hall. With a flick, the mechanism is fully unfolded. The jade pieces like lotus petals, the tip of the dart like lotus seeds, and the heavenly woven silk hub in the hand all shine in the sun, twinkling with golden light.

Lu Qi bit his lip and, together with everyone else, watched this sister who seemed to have just seen her face to face on the first day, suddenly jumped up, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times towards the mourning hall, pushed away the crowd and ran away.

Li Fan originally wanted to help him sew the wounds and practice his skills, but at this time he had no choice but to shrug and let the young man leave. Perhaps after this defeat, he realized that there are some things in this world that he cannot win even with his own efforts, and he should grow up a little. Already?

As for the other one…

He turned his head, and together with the colleagues that Senior Brother Lu had made over the years, he looked at the young girl in front of the mourning hall, standing tall against the sky and the ground, fearless of wind and rain, blooming like a green lotus.
