Chapter 4 Secular Disputes(1/2)
Li Qiang knew very well that the power of the Jingyuan Bow was not something that ordinary mortals could withstand.
The young man held the Jingyuan bow in his hand and shouted, "Ye, this road is not open!"
The people in the awning ran out in a mess. The little girl also ran to the awning and stood on a wooden bench and looked into the distance. Soon, a large group of cavalry surrounded her and shouted in surprise: "It's the officers and soldiers!"
Li Qiang came to the side of the road with a wooden bench, and sat down, shaking his folding fan with great interest.
The little girl jumped off the wooden bench, hurried to Li Qiang, and said, "Uncle, you're desperate, hide quickly, it's the officers and soldiers." After that, she ran to the pergola.
Everyone in the pergola ran towards the river, fearing that they would be affected.
A cavalry unit of about a hundred people came. Li Qiang saw that it was the regular cavalry of the Song State. The leader was a young general, holding an iron spear in his hand. He pointed the iron spear at the young man standing on the ferry and shouted: "Lin Jibing! Return the Jingyuan bow to me!"
Lin Jibing smiled and said, "Lin Jizu, I won't give it to you! The old man is partial, why should I pass on the treasures he passed on to you? I said, "Brother, you'd better go back obediently. After passing this ferry, it's the territory of Li Tang Kingdom. Do you want to cause disputes between the two countries?"
Li Qiang couldn't help but laugh. These two men turned out to be two brothers. It seemed that they should be Lin Fenghe's great-grandchildren. I just don't know if Lin Fenghe is still alive.
Lin Jibing bluffed proudly and said, "You don't know the power of Jingyuan Bow. If you dare to come over, hehe, just try its power." Lin Jizu said angrily: "Ji Bing! You... you are too disrespectful. If Taizu knows, it will look good with you! Return the Jingyuan Bow to me." Li Qiang was happy, it seemed that Lin Fenghe was still alive.
The crystal source bow in Lin Jibing's hand was shining with red light.
Lin Jizu tightened the reins and the mount under his crotch turned around the dirt road. Seeing his angry and hated look, Lin Jibing laughed, and the soldiers behind Lin Jizu couldn't help but clamor. Lin Jizu shouted, "Jiping, what are you going to do?"
There was another clamor. Someone shouted, "Look at the river!" I saw that the mist on the river had already dissipated, and a figure came over the waves.
The more Li Qiang looked at it, the more interesting he felt. He knew that the person who came to the wave was a cultivator. He seemed to have a low cultivation level and could not fly. He had to rely on the power of water waves. However, in the eyes of people in the secular world, this was already amazing.
The man soon stepped onto the river bank.
It was a tall and thin man in gorgeous brocade, looking in his early forties and with a pale face, he shook to Lin Jibing and said, "Advisor, not bad, I got the Jingyuan Bow, haha."
Lin Jibing said with a smile: "Master, I've succeeded."
The man looked at Lin Jizu and said gloomyly: "Fortunately I came in time, so these people cannot stay." He pulled out the long sword on his back and was about to step forward. Lin Jibing shouted: "Master, let them go."
Lin Jizu's face turned pale and he shouted angrily: "Lin Jibing, you actually colluded with the master of the Litang State worship hall, I..." The man sneered: "Since you know, I will not keep you!" He rushed forward quickly.
There was only a sound of bowstrings, so the soldiers of Song State shot out the crossbow arrows in their hands, and the arrows flew around. The man waved his sword, and the green light flashed, and there was only a "crackling" sound, and no arrow could hit him.
Li Qiang smiled slightly. He knew that the crossbow arrows of these soldiers could not hurt the man. He quietly bounced at a long arrow on the ground, and the long arrow flew against the ground. When he was close to the man, he suddenly penetrated upwards. He heard the guy scream, and the long arrow penetrated from the side of his thigh to the back of his butt.
Lin Jizu was overjoyed. He slammed the stirrup and rushed over with his iron spear.
Li Qiang sighed secretly in his heart. With Lin Jizu's skills, the man was not a match even if he was seriously injured. Sure enough, Lin Jizu's iron spear stabbed the man directly, and the power of the gun seemed extremely sharp with the galloping horse. The man sneered and cut off with one sword. With a loud sound, the iron spear was cut off by his sword. The man slightly turned his head and threw Lin Jizu off the horse with one punch. The long sword flashed, and the tip of the sword was already touching Lin Jizu's chest.
Lin Jibing shouted, "Master, don't hurt him."
Li Qiang thought, and a mass of divine Yili quietly protected Lin Jizu.
The man said viciously, "Oh, my ass! The fuck... who shot me... I'll kill you!" He stabbed him with a sword, and Lin Jizu screamed in despair.
Lin Jibing also screamed, and the crystal source bow in his hand flashed red, and an arrow shot out.
The energy arrow shot from the Jingyuan Bow went straight to the sword that the man stabbed. The man was very skilled. Even if he was shot in his thigh, he still flexibly turned it over. The energy arrow flew across Lin Jizu's chest and hit the roots of a big tree not far away. With a loud bang, it broke the big tree as thick as a bucket. The big tree made a squeaking sound and smashed it down obliquely.
Lin Jibing shouted: "Master, aren't you guaranteed not to hurt my family? Why did you kill my brother?"
Lin Jizu rolled and crawled back to the cavalry team, turned over and cursed, "I understand, you are the master of the Litang State worship hall, Yuchi Kang, a shameless guy! You are a master of cultivation, and you actually attack ordinary people..."
Yuchi Kang shouted: "You can't keep it, kill!" He inserted the sword into the scabbard with his backhand, raised his hand to throw out a talisman. Li Qiang saw that this was a very ordinary chain of thunder, belonging to ordinary Yin thunder. Lin Jibing shouted in horror: "Master! Master...you..."
Li Qiang's folding fan gently waved, and the vaginal thunder immediately flew upwards. A series of dull thunder sounded, and the dazzling light shone from the ground to the sky.
Yuchi Kang was shocked to find something wrong. He looked around and shouted: "Which shameful guy is hiding in the dark and making trouble, come out!" At the same time, he quickly retreated backwards.
He retreated to Lin Jibing and reached out to snatch Jingyuan Bow. Lin Jibing was unable to defend himself and his hands were empty. Before he could speak, Yuchi Kang shouted, "Bastard, even Master dares to beat me, get out!" He kicked Lin Jibing on the side of the leg and kicked him out.
Lin Jibing fell to the ground and was stunned. He stared at Yuchi Kang blankly and murmured: "It turns out that what they said is true... they are all true. Master... Master... did you accept me for Jingyuan Gong?"
Yuchi Kang sneered, gritted his teeth and pulled out the long arrow inserted into his body, jumped up and rushed towards the water. Unexpectedly, as soon as his body moved, it seemed to hit an invisible wall, and fell to the ground with a "bang". He suddenly realized that there was indeed a powerful master hidden here. He shouted angrily: "Who is making trouble, who is it?"
Lin Jizu led the soldiers to surround Yuchi Kang. Lin Jibing was also tied up by several soldiers. He did not resist at all. He just lowered his head in pain and kept muttering something. He really couldn't stand the blow of being deceived by his master, and he didn't expect that the cultivator would be so treacherous.
Yuchi Kang was not afraid of these soldiers, but he was afraid of the hidden master. The soldiers who surrounded him were also afraid of Yuchi Kang. With the identity of a cultivator, these soldiers were not willing to attack him. The people in the Green Basin had infinite fear and worship of cultivators and would never dare to offend cultivators easily.
Lin Jizu's iron spear had been broken. He pulled out his waist knife and pointed at Yuchi Kang and said, "Put down the crystal source bow and you can leave, otherwise, the cultivators of Song State will not let you go."
Yuchi Kang suddenly flashed behind Lin Jizu, strangled Lin Jizu's neck, and a crystal flying sword appeared in his hand, and shouted: "Come out, you come out!"
Everyone was staring at him stupidly. No one could understand what could be done. Only Li Qiang knew that this kid was calling himself out.
Lin Jizu's face was flushed by his snatch, and he said with difficulty: "Who did you call out?"
"He is calling me."
Li Qiang shook his folding fan and walked upstairs.
The soldiers dodged a way, Li Qiang walked to Yuchi Kang, pointed at him with a folding fan and said, "Let him go, so what if you kill him? I know the owner of this bow, so if you leave the Jingyuan bow, leave immediately. I don't bother with your messy things."
Yuchi Kang said with a stern look on his face: "If you let me go, I will let him go. I must take Jingyuan Bow away."
Li Qiang shook his head and said, "Why are the cultivators in the Litang State worship hall so unrealized? It's really embarrassing the cultivators. If you are still so greedy, I will reluctantly let you go to the worship hall of the old Song State." Yuchi Kang's face was pale and uncertain. Finally, he shouted: "I'll fight with you!"
The flying sword of shakuhachi in Yuchi Kang's hand stabbed Lin Jizu hard on the neck, but he suddenly found that he was weak and could not move at all.
Lin Jizu struggled desperately, suddenly felt that Yuchi Kang's hand had let go. He struggled to break free. He rushed back a few steps and looked back. Yuchi Kang was still maintaining his original movement, bent one hand and held the shiny flying sword in the other hand.
Li Qiang smiled and said, "If you say it, you won't listen, okay, just let them take it back to the worship hall of the old Song Kingdom." He tapped Yuchi Kang's shoulder with a folding fan, sealing off his skills and unbuttoned the ban just now.
Poor Yuchi Kang met Li Qiang and could not resist at all. He suddenly felt that he could move, so he rushed towards the river bank without thinking. He held the flying sword of Shakuhachi and looked fierce and frightened the soldiers so much that they quickly made way. This guy wanted to walk on the waves, but he plunged into the water. He rushed into the river. It turned out that he could not swim.
Li Qiang reached out to grab it, and Yuchi Kang seemed to be picked up from the water by an invisible big hand. He was thrown to the shore with a whimpering sound, and he was still holding the flying sword of shakuhachi in his hand. It seemed that this flying sword was his treasure.
Lin Jizu finally realized that Yuchi Kang had lost his power of cultivation like an ordinary person. He ordered the soldiers to catch him, snatch the Jingyuan bow and the flying sword, and even took away the long sword on Yuchi Kang's back. Yuchi Kang was so angry that he shouted. After a while, he was tied up by the soldiers like a rice dumpling.
Yuchi Kang stared at Li Qiang tightly and shouted unwillingly: "Who are you? You should be a senior cultivator, why are you involved in our Litang Kingdom?"
Li Qiang walked up to him and sighed: "I didn't want to care about your nostalgic business. Unfortunately, I gave this crystal source bow to Lin Fenghe. In addition, I am the friend of the Holy King of Song Kingdom. Do you think I should care?"
Lin Jizu stood beside Li Qiang. He knew who Li Qiang was when he heard it, and immediately knelt down on the ground with a "punch": "Jizu pays homage to the prince." The soldiers around him saw that the major generals had knelt down, and they also knelt down "ratically": "Go to the prince." Yuchi Kang suddenly collapsed, and he also knew who Li Qiang was. In these countries in the Green Basin, almost everyone knew that there were two extremely powerful masters in the Song State, one was the Holy King and the other was his brother Li Qiang.
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Lin Jizu, don't worship me anymore. Take the soldiers back to the camp. In addition, let Lin Jibing go. If he goes back, it will be very miserable, right?" He pointed to Lin Jibing with a folding fan, and saw the ropes tied to Lin Jibing broke. Lin Jibing knelt in front of Li Qiang and burst into tears.
Lin Jizu stood up and said, "Prince, Taizu has always missed you very much. He regretted not following you to practice the truth." Li Qiang knew that Lin Fenghe had eaten the Little Peiyuan Pill and knew a little practice of cultivation, so he was still alive until now. But it was too late for him to practice the truth again, after all, he was too old.
Li Qiang nodded and said, "It's okay for Fenghe to go back and give me a greeting. Unfortunately, his fame and reputation are too strong and not suitable for cultivation." Lin Fenghe was already the prince at this time. Because of his outstanding military achievements, the Lin family became a famous family in the old Song State, and countless descendants have become officials. He is a great master of the old Song State.
Lin Jizu replied respectfully, "Taizu, I am in good health, the prince..." Li Qiang interrupted him and said, "Jizu, don't call me prince, I, the prince, have never been in charge of things." Lin Jizu was very clever and immediately changed his words, "Taizu, can you invite you to your home? Taizu misses you very much. He has said many times that if you can see Taizu again... you will be in peace even if you die."
Li Qiang sighed in his heart. It is difficult for those old friends to survive until now except for the cultivation of the truth. If Lin Feng was willing to practice, he would not refuse. He said, "Ji Zu, I will not go to the capital for the time being. These are three spiritual pills, which will be brought to your Taizu and let him take them. Maybe there will be a chance to see you again in the future. You can go."
Lin Jizu did not dare to say anything again, knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye, then got up and rode away with his horse, and took the soldiers and Yuchi Kang. He did not say another word to Lin Jibing from beginning to end.
Lin Jibing looked at Li Qiang pitifully, he had stopped crying. Li Qiang tapped his head with a folding fan and said, "Come with me." He turned around and walked towards the pergola.
The person hiding in the reeds by the river also walked towards the pergola. After Li Qiang sat down, he said, "Ji Bing, what are you going to do?"
The people in the awning did not know Li Qiang's identity. They had been hiding far away just now. They only knew that Li Qiang and Lin Jibing were both very powerful people because they sat in the awning without any injuries.
The little girl walked over with a big plate with difficulty. Li Qiang hurriedly reached out and took it to the table. The little girl said, "Uncle, this is the dry food prepared for you." Lin Jibing nodded absent-mindedly and said, "Little sister, go and do your business."
After a while of silence, Lin Jibing smiled bitterly and said, "Where can I go? Alas, I am determined to cultivate the truth, but the Grand Master did not agree to me going to the worship hall and insisted on letting me go to the exam for fame and honor... So..." Li Qiang shook his head and said, "Can you betray the entire family for the sake of cultivation?"
Lin Jibing lowered his head in shame and whispered: "I am a concubine and have no status in the family..."
Li Qiang didn't understand and said strangely: "What kind of concubine is born?"
Lin Jibing said bitterly: "It was my wife who gave birth to me...ah... After my mother passed away, no one looked down on me..."
Li Qiang was a cultivator from modern society. He had no idea about the big family in the past and could not understand the feelings of the children born in the big family. Although he was not short of money, he had no status. He said: "Ji Bing, no matter how the family treats you, you should not collude with outsiders and steal the treasures from your family to cultivate your family."
Lin Jibing said helplessly: "Master... Alas, he promised me that he would teach me to practice as long as he got the Jingyuan Bow. Who knew that he was using me to steal the Jingyuan Bow? If the Taizu knew about it, I would definitely be killed by the family law and I can't go back." He looked at Li Qiang blankly, not knowing how Li Qiang would deal with him.
Li Qiang thought for a while and said, "Since you want to practice so much, I will pass on you a method of cultivation, come with me." He stood up and walked out of the awning.
Lin Jibing couldn't believe his ears. He tried his best to cultivate the truth, and even fought against the entire family. In the end, he got nothing. Now he didn't have to do anything, and Taizu Bo was willing to teach the method of cultivation. He was stunned for a moment, overjoyed and followed him.
The water of Qingwei River is clear and clear. You can clearly see fish swimming underwater on the shore. There are large areas of reeds on the sandbank, and wild ducks fly up from time to time. The world is quiet. Li Qiang stared at the floating clouds in the sky with his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Ji Bing, your purpose of cultivating may be to prove something, or to change your humble status. I tell you...those are empty. Do you really want to cultivate?"
Lin Jibing knelt down with his knees, his knees fell into the mud and sand on the shore, and said urgently: "I want to practice truth! I am not trying to prove anything, I just want to escape the entanglement of the world, and ask Master Tai to teach me the method of cultivation truth."
Li Qiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Jibing would have the idea of avoiding the world. Didn't he have the same idea at the beginning? He turned around and said, "Okay, meeting is also fate. Here is a magic trick. I only said it three times. If I can't remember, it depends on your fate." He slowly recited the magic tricks of cultivation. This was a very simple magic trick he had sorted out. Lin Jibing focused and forced his memory.
After three times, Lin Jibing did not dare to speak and tried his best to remember it repeatedly in his heart. After a while, Li Qiang began to explain the contents of the magic formula. After the two of them asked and answered some questions, Li Qiang gave him twelve medium-grade immortal stones and said, "The immortal stones used to build foundations are faster to enter the country."
Li Qiang turned to the reeds on the shore and said, "Little girl, don't hide, come out." The reeds swayed, and the little girl in the awning came out. She said angrily: "Uncle, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, I..."
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Oh, you're afraid that I'll leave without paying, right?" The girl's face turned red, and she didn't know what to say. Li Qiang smiled and said, "What's your name?" The girl lowered her head and whispered, "My name is Ye Zi, and her nickname is Doll."
Before Li Qiang could speak, Ye Zi asked with a blushing face: "Uncle, what is the heart formation?"
Li Qiang was surprised and asked, "You heard what we said just now?" Ye Zi nodded. Li Qiang asked, "You... can you remember it?"
Ye Zi raised his head proudly and recited the magic tricks Li Qiang said word by word. Lin Jibing sighed: "Oh my God, this little girl is really amazing..." He found that he had remembered several parts wrongly.
Li Qiang squatted down and explained the principle of the Heart Array. Ye Zi asked again: "If you don't use immortal stones to build the foundation, will you be slow to practice just by using magic tricks?" Li Qiang smiled and nodded, saying: "If there are immortal stones, you can build the foundation quickly. If you don't have one, you will be slow to enter. How old are you? Have you ever been to school?"
Ye Zi shook her head and said, "The baby is thirteen years old this year. It was my grandfather who taught the baby to read. The baby has never been to school."
Li Qiang thought to himself: "No wonder the little girl can understand. Judging from her understanding, her grandfather must not be an ordinary person." He became loving talent, took out twelve medium-grade immortal stones, handed them to Ye Zi and said: "Doll, give it to you. If you want to cultivate the truth, you can use this foundation to build your foundation. If you don't want to, you can sell these immortal stones, even if it's the dowry given to you by the uncle." He couldn't help but joke.
Although Ye Zi was young, she was extremely smart. She blushed and said, "The baby is not married, and the baby has to accompany her grandfather."
The old man boiling water in the pergola staggered over and said, "Doll, why are you here by the river? Go back quickly and pour tea for the guests." Ye Zi hurriedly hid the fairy stone in his arms and said loudly, "Grandpa, I'll come right away."
To be continued...
