The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"Yuan Dingyi?"

Li Muchen has never heard of this name, but he knows that Maoshan is one of the first and third mountains, with the same status as Longhu Mountain.

It's just that because of the Tianshi Mansion, Longhu Mountain is inherited from the same origin, and the inheritance is simple and clear.

Maoshan is much more complicated. In addition to the three palaces and five temples on the mountain, each of which has its own origin, Maoshan folk teachings are also spread everywhere. If you are a Taoist priest, you will say that you are from Maoshan, and many liars will also say that you are from Maoshan.

"Which branch of Maoshan does this Yuan Dingyi come from?"

"I don't know much about Daomen, and I haven't heard from him since." She Biqing said.

Li Muchen felt that Yuan Dingyi was a key figure, and it seemed that he had to take the time to go to Maoshan to inquire about this person.

In addition, he remembered the retreat of Taoist Wang Chongxian in Baiyunguan and the poem. At that time, he had a vague feeling that it was related to the Li family. Now after She Biqing said it, it was almost certain.

In addition to Wang Chongxian, there are also Zhang Yunpu from Longhu Mountain, Lu Yunlong from Wudang and Suyun Xiangu from Emei. Last time I heard Zhang Xikun say that Zhang Yunpu had been in seclusion for many years. If these people all went into seclusion after the incident in the Li family, then the matter would be obvious.

But Li Muchen is still reluctant to believe that the Li family was destroyed by righteous people.

Even if the mother is a witch and cannot be tolerated by the righteous way, even if the Li family fights to protect her, these righteous people should not destroy everyone in the family.

"How much do you know about the Demon Cult? Has my mother ever told you how she joined the Demon Cult?" Li Muchen asked.

She Biqing said nothing, and the expression on her face showed no emotion or anger.

Guan Yali poured her a cup of tea.

She brought it to her mouth but did not drink it. The rim of the teacup touched her lips and suddenly said: "Yali, do I still have some ancient tree tea here with you?"

Guan Yali said: "Yes, grandma, do you want a drink? I will get it for you now."

She Biqing nodded and put down the tea cup.

Guan Yali smiled apologetically at Li Muchen and said, "You guys talk first, I'll get the tea."

He walked out and closed the door for them.

Li Muchen knew that the old lady was deliberately supporting Guan Yali, and what she said next should be very important, so he waved his hand and built an invisible barrier in the room, so that the sound wave vibration could not be transmitted out.

She Biqing said: "Your mother didn't say it clearly, and I have no definite evidence. Everything is just my guess, and you don't have to take it seriously."

Li Muchen nodded to express his understanding.

"I have heard of the word Demon Cult from my master a long time ago. My master not only practices martial arts, but also knows witchcraft. Unfortunately, I am not very talented in this area and have only learned a little bit. On the contrary, I have a little knowledge in martial arts. Xiaocheng. Therefore, Master didn’t say much to me about witchcraft and immortality, and I never took it seriously, until after your mother’s accident.”

"Later I recalled many things, about the Miao Village, the Gong family, and your mother."

She Biqing paused, looked at Li Muchen and said, "I match your mother and sister, but you see, I look like an old woman. I am too old to be your grandmother. Don't you feel awkward and strange when you call me aunt?" "

Li Muchen was stunned. He studied in Kunlun. None of those senior brothers and sisters were several rounds older than him. Some of them were hundreds of years old. So he had no idea about age. When he thought about it, something was indeed wrong.

She Biqing smiled and said: "I am older than your mother. She calls me sister. In fact, the age difference between us is not very big. But she has good looks, and her appearance has not changed since she was twenty years old. The Gong family Women are beautiful and do not age easily, which is well-known in our Miao village, but your mother is even more special."

"The age difference between your mother and your father is huge. This was the main reason why we thought that the Gong family did not agree to the marriage. Later, your mother told me that her appearance was not old because she practiced magic. I was I thought it was a joke, but later I found out it was true.”

"And your mother did not become an apprentice outside. If she had another apprentice outside, I wouldn't know about it. Therefore, the skills your mother practices are probably passed down from the ancestors of the Gong family."

"The Gong family has a legacy of magic. Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense. The Gong family didn't agree with your parents' marriage at first. The Gong family just didn't want the outside world to know their secrets. If your father's surname wasn't Li and he didn't come from the capital, maybe they didn't I won’t object, but he is the son of the Li family in the capital. The Li family is too big and powerful, and the Gong family is afraid that the Li family will see through their identity."

"In the end, what they feared happened. If my guess is correct, your mother had already told him her identity before she eloped with your father. But he still took her away without hesitation. Alas..."

She Biqing sighed.

"As expected of the most handsome man in the capital, he is not afraid of anything. He even dares to rob the saint of the Demon Sect!"

She Biqing's tone was a bit joking, a bit appreciative, and a bit desolate.

Li Muchen was a little shocked. According to She Biqing, the Gong family, that is, his mother's natal family, his maternal grandfather's family, and the entire family are a branch of the secret inheritance of the demon sect.

Although it is difficult to accept, at present, it is the most reasonable hypothesis.

Her mother, Gong Lingyan, had learned magic skills since she was a child. Perhaps she was inspected by the upper echelon of the demon sect, or perhaps her bloodline was awakened, and she became a saint of the demon sect. Later, the identity was leaked and found out by the right people, which triggered a crisis in the Li family.

At that time, the head of the Li family, Li Tiance, who was also Li Muchen's biological grandfather, had long foreseen the crisis and made arrangements in advance, so that Li Muchen could escape.

As for the disappearance of the Gong family, it may be due to the righteous encirclement and suppression, or it may be because the mother was determined to break away from the demon sect and asked Hu Yuntian to help remove the demonic heart of the saint. The Gong family was regarded as a traitor by the demon sect and was eliminated.

"Aunt She, is the Gong family's village still there?"

"Here. The mountains are backward. Although many places have developed tourism in recent years, the place where the Gong family is located has few bad legends, so few people go there. If you want to see it, I can take you there. It's just that It has been abandoned for nearly twenty years, and I’m afraid nothing can be seen anymore.”

"Thank you Aunt She. I don't expect to see anything. I just have to take a look at my mother's birthplace."

She Biqing nodded, with a bit of love and affirmation in her eyes: "Okay, but I have to go back to Oucheng first. After staying in Oucheng for more than ten years, there are always some things to deal with. When I return to Miao Village, it won't necessarily be the case. I'm in the mood to come back. You have to wait for me for a few days, and then I'll ask Yali to notify you."

"Don't worry." Li Muchen said, "I still have a lot of things to deal with."

"That's good. Young people, you should look forward and don't always be tied down by the past." She Biqing's face showed a kind look like a mother.

"Yes, thank you Auntie for your teaching." Li Muchen said respectfully.

She Biqing smiled and said, "It's rare for you to be so powerful and so humble. Ling Yan should be smiling if he has a son like you."

Then he suddenly asked: "I heard that you went to Linhuang some time ago. There are rumors that you died there?"

Li Muchen smiled and said, "I just went there for a while. Something delayed me. I was in the wilderness and the information couldn't be sent out, so I made a joke."

"Oh..., you also entered Huangze? The Miao Village is actually not far from Linhuang Town. I suddenly remembered that there was a rumor in the Miao Village that the Gong family moved out of Huangze."

At this point, She Biqing smiled self-deprecatingly, shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's just unreliable rumors, just don't tell them. There is no human habitation in the wilderness, how can such a big family come out!"
