Family cultivation: I will create a family of sword immortals

To the west of Taoxi Town, in addition to opening up a large field for the family's soldiers to garrison, a new small village with about a hundred or so households also appeared. The previously uncultivated wasteland nearby has also been reclaimed. Of course, it is all ordinary land that has been opened up, and there are no spiritual fields.

These people are the common people of the Zhao family who were gathered by Li Chengping with his soldiers. Now they are all registered as members of the Li family. Some of them were divided into the original five villages of Taoxi, and the rest were transferred to Li Yang personally gave this place a name, Xishan Village.

Since the grain tax was exempted during the three years of land reclamation, these new refugees from the Zhao family quickly recognized the Li family's governance and gradually integrated into the Li family.

On the school ground of the soldiers, Li Chengping was dressed in a simple cloth, with his hands wrapped around his sleeves, looking at the soldiers of the Li family practicing on the school ground, his eyes slightly narrowed, no one knew what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Beside his feet, a golden mink rubbed his calf vigorously, making an affectionate sound.

Li Chengping waved gently, and the purple golden mink named Qingping immediately climbed onto his shoulder. The Purple Golden Mink bought back with Xu Qingya is now gradually growing up. This Purple Golden Mink is no bigger than an ordinary domestic dog. Its combat power is already comparable to that of a monk in the Six Levels of Fetal Breathing. Its speed is even more amazing. On weekdays, in Taoxi They were running around the town, often causing a lot of panic.

Although the residents of the town were dissatisfied, no one said anything after knowing that he was Lord Zuzheng's spiritual pet.

"Your current combat power and realm are almost catching up with your mother's, but it's a pity..." Li Chengping looked at Taoyuan Mountain in the distance and murmured softly.

The purple mink on the shoulder made a few whimpering sounds very intelligently, as if it understood what he said.

Li Chengping is twenty years old this year, but some people stay at eighteen forever.

Now Li Chengping has just gotten married, marrying two women, Xu Qingya's cousin named Xu Qinghui, and a spiritual disciple of the Li family named Li Jiu.

However, both of them entered the Li family as side wives, and the position of Li Chengping's main wife was vacant. This not only showed Li Chengping's attitude towards Xu Qingya, but also showed that as the head of the family, he had no intention of doing that. The position of the head of the household.

After all, these two people are both concubines, so the child they give birth to will no longer have the status of a direct relative, and there will be no legitimate reason for inheriting the position of the head of the family. Even if Li Yang passes the position to him in the future, when he steps down, the position will be That's why he returned to Li Yang's lineage.

While he was still thinking, a guard wearing a clan uniform came up behind him.

"Master Qi Jin, the matter of Fan Mingde's private contact with the Zhao family has been found out. Should we close the net immediately?" The guard reported in a low voice.

Li Chengping turned around and took the file submitted by the guard. He wrote down in detail the detailed communication with the Zhao family starting from a certain date.

He frowned slightly. This Fan Mingde was still his cousin, but the relationship was not very close. It was considered that he had a little bit of the virtue of chickens and dogs rising to heaven, and that's how he made his fortune.

Li Chengping looked at the information transmitted above. In fact, it was all irrelevant information, and some of it was even wrong.

"Go and get it. No one will be left behind. Take them all to the stage outside the town. How are the clan rules written and how are they done?" Li Chengping said calmly, and the file in his hand spontaneously ignited and turned into a cloud of dust.

"Here!"

Less than half the time it took to burn the incense, men and horses dressed in splendid black clothes from the camp rode out, their hooves beating like thunder, and ran towards Jiang's field.

Whether it was the soldiers of the Li family in the camp or passers-by, when they saw the black horses and black clothes, they all felt shuddering, wondering whether the He family was going to be in trouble again.

In the past few years, the reputation of the Li family's main courtyard has even been able to stop babies from crying.

This group of black knights who specialize in upholding the rules of the Li family truly punish people in accordance with the law. As long as they are targeted, almost no one is wronged.

"The Zhao family's reach is really long. They actually thought of asking the eldest mother's (grandmother's) relatives to do things. It's a pity that they underestimated the censorship of the clan's main court." Li Chengping said to himself.

Since the dispute between the Lu and Zhao families, the Zhao family has continued to shrink their clan members. Not only did they transfer the spiritual mines in Ziliu Mountain to the Li family, they even opened up the originally blocked trade routes on land.

Of course, this does not mean that the Zhao family has completely given up their ambitions. In recent years, they have sent spies to the Li family to investigate the situation, and even placed them among the refugees. However, the Li family's main court is not a vegetarian, especially after Cai Yanzhi. The training, supervision and other methods are almost beyond the level of ordinary mortal dynasties.

"elder brother."

Just when Li Chengping was about to leave the camp, he was stopped by a voice as beautiful as a lark.

Li Chengping looked at the girl in red walking towards him with a smile.

The person who came was none other than Li Jinli. He was only thirteen years old now, and his appearance had become more and more beautiful. From a porcelain doll that people couldn't help but love, he has now become a sunny girl full of youthful atmosphere.

Her height has grown rapidly recently, and she is already half a head taller than her peers.

She smiled and ran towards Li Chengping, followed by a handsome young man, but he was a little shorter than Li Jinli. She followed Li Jinli and approached Li Chengping before shouting: "I've seen you before." Lord Clan."

"Jin Li, Xu Yan, where did you go to play again?" Li Chengping said pretending to be angry.

The young man's name is Xu Yan. He comes from an ordinary background, but he is also a rare spiritual person. He practices hard on weekdays, and he is familiar to everyone in the Li family.

Nowadays, the number of monks in the Li family has increased tremendously. Since the establishment of the Li family, the number of children born has continued to rise. Nine years have passed, and new spiritual children have continued to appear. It can be said that in the past two or three years, every year In one year of testing, more than ten spiritual orifices would appear.

Li Jinli mostly practices in the mountains on weekdays. Except for a small amount of time when he walks out, he rarely goes down the mountain.

Now that I can come to this school, I naturally run out to play again.

Seeing Li Chengping's appearance, Xu Yan lowered his head in shame, not daring to look directly at Li Chengping's face.

On the contrary, Li Jinli took Li Chengping's arm, shook it gently and said, "Xu Yan and I just went down the mountain and walked around the town. When we saw the black cavalry going to arrest people again, we came to see you, brother. .”

"Seriously?" Li Chengping said with a bluster.

He still knows his biological sister very well. It is naturally not just a trivial matter for her to come so far to find him.

Li Jinli stuck out his tongue and said playfully: "I really can't hide it from my extremely smart brother."

Li Chengping said quickly: "Stop, let's talk about something!"

Li Jinli said: "Then I said you must not punish Xu Yan and his parents."

Li Chengping heard the sound and looked at Xu Yan, who had his head lowered.

"Have you violated the clan rules?" Li Chengping whispered.

Xu Yan, who was beside him, was so frightened that he trembled and said quickly: "No, no, the little one has definitely not violated the clan rules."

Li Jinli shook Li Chengping's hand and said, "Brother, he is already timid, but if you scare him, he will be speechless later."

Li Chengping said nothing and continued to stare at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan seemed to have gained the courage and took out a dark object from his arms. It was less than half a foot long. It was somewhat similar to a fire stick. It was solid inside and had small rings around it that could rotate, but it was full of carvings. Looking at the densely packed characters with bird seal and insect patterns, I can't see the reason.

"Two years ago, my parents followed the Zhao family to Xishan Village to open up wasteland. A few days ago, they went into the mountains to cut down trees. When they saw this object, they mistakenly thought it was a magic weapon left by an immortal, so they quietly The land is handed over to the young one. This thing is extremely hot in his hands these days. The young man feels it is not easy and feels uneasy every day. Now I have told Miss Jin Li about it."

Xu Yan explained the origin of this object to Li Chengping in detail.

Li Chengping took the object in his hand and examined it carefully for a while. The bird seal and insect patterns on it were very complicated, and no information could be seen at all. He poured spiritual energy into it, but found that it was like a mud cow pouring into the sea, without any information. Reaction.

"Brother, do you see what this is?" Li Jinli asked in a low voice.

Li Chengping shook his head and said: "These characters are not the characters that are circulated in the ancient Xia Kingdom today, but they are more like the characters of some mountain people. My Li family is in the southern border of the ancient Xia Kingdom. The nearby mountain people are the people in the south. You, I’m afraid this thing doesn’t belong to the Youyou people.”

Li Jinli and Xu Yan were surprised. They originally thought it was a magic weapon left by a monk.

I didn’t expect it to be something from the legendary Armadillo people.

Both of them were children who grew up in Taoxi Village. Naturally, they often heard the legend of the Armadillo cannibalism when they were young. Now that it has been confirmed that these people really exist, they are naturally a little surprised.

"Xu Yan, where did your parents find this thing?" Li Chengping asked.

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment and then said: "It was found on the mountainside of Yanyu Mountain in the south. There are many trees there, and no one has ever gone up to chop firewood. My father wanted to get more firewood, and later he discovered this thing. .”

Li Chengping nodded thoughtfully, seeming to have some clues, and said: "I will take this thing back to my uncle for questioning first, and return it to you later."

Xu Yan groaned and said quickly: "Just hand it over to the family. After all, it was my parents who were at fault in hiding the treasure secretly."

In fact, the Li family does not have any clan rules about hiding treasures privately, but after passing through the mouths of some people, the words gradually changed their flavor.

Li Chengping shook his head and said: "Everything is waiting for the head of the family to decide. If it does not involve family interests, it will be returned to you."

After saying that, he directly drove the flying boat to Taoyuan Mountain.

At the Qi training stage, the spiritual energy is enough to control the magic weapon. This flying boat is the most common flying magic weapon and can be purchased with only twenty spirit stones.

Soon, Li Chengping returned to Taoyuan Mountain and found Li Yang and his wife in the hall of his home.

"Uncle, Xu Yan just handed me an object, which I suspect belongs to the Armadillo people in the south." Li Chengping informed Li Yang of the information he got from Xu Yan.

Li Yang took the object that didn't look like a stick. This object was also beyond his knowledge, and he had no clue at the moment.

While he was thinking for a moment, Cai Yanzhi took it from his hand. She looked at the bird seal and insect pattern on it, her expression became more and more solemn, and then she said: "This object is a magic weapon used by the Armadillo to summon the beast tide. It needs to be It can only be activated by the witchcraft spells of the Armadillo people. Once activated, the beasts within a hundred miles will fall into madness. Moreover, this object is usually not just one, but a group of three. It only needs to be arranged and can be remotely controlled and activated. Magical weapon."

Li Chengping's expression changed greatly when he heard this. This thing was too close to the Li family.

If it is true as Cai Yanzhi said, it is most likely something that the Armadillo people used to deal with the Li family.

"Tingping, immediately send all the soldiers to search around Yanyu Mountain, and be sure to confirm whether there are really other magic weapons." Li Yang gave the order decisively.

Li Chengping nodded and immediately turned back.

"I hope it's just a magic weapon left in the mountains." Cai Yanzhi said softly.

There are wizards among the armadillos, who are equivalent to Qi practitioners, and their methods are even more bizarre. They use blood and human flesh to practice, and even some dead bodies are manipulated by them. They have always been considered by the ancient Xia Kingdom to be evil demons. When the Xia Kingdom was here, they often encircled and suppressed the Armadillo people in the south, but they relied on the miasma and poisons in the mountains and forests to quietly avoid the pursuit of the monks.

The last invasion of the Armadillos was a hundred years ago, and since then, there has been no movement.

It has almost been forgotten by everyone, but every armadillo invasion has brought a huge and painful price to Lingnan Road.

"Maybe it's really unexpected. After all, although they haven't gone south these years, I have asked them to always pay attention to the movements in the south." Li Yang comforted softly.

"I hope so." Cai Yanzhi said.

If the Armadillo people from the south move north, the Li family and several other aristocratic families close to the Armadillo realm will definitely be the first to suffer.

So neither of them wanted it to be true.

……

On the school grounds, Li Jinli and Xu Yan were bored and still waiting for news about Li Chengping.

"If there is no problem with my uncle, you will make a lot of money. Although I don't know the use, but the materials are not ordinary metals. If you sell them in Guihuafang Market, you may not even have the resources to practice Qi. It's all together." Li Jinli sat on the high platform in the school ground, his two slender legs dangling restlessly.

Xu Yan, who was standing beside her, squatted beside her and said, "How dare I think about this? It's pretty good that Master Zuzheng didn't punish me."

Li Jinli patted his shoulder heartily and said: "Be optimistic, you are always like this, not confident at all. I have seen how you will find a wife in the future. People like Qiushi and Li Waner look down on you the most. You are such a person with no self-confidence. If you continue to be like this, you will only be able to marry a mortal wife in the future~"

Xu Yan smiled bitterly. Li Jinli was famous for being an eccentric person. Of course, he didn't have the airs of a young lady. He could chat with everyone who practiced on the mountain, regardless of their origins, and he was extremely loved by everyone. .

Both men and women pampered her like a little princess. Some people even said privately that the secular dynasty was gone now, otherwise Li Jinli should have been born in an imperial family.

While the two were talking, Li Chengping was already flying over like a shooting star.

Before the two of them could speak, Li Chengping had already shouted: "Ring the clan bell seven times!"

Above the attic of the camp, a large and simple bell hangs. It is the clan bell of the Li family. It is usually used to notify the clan members of events. The more the bell rings, the more important the event is.

Generally, the maximum number is nine rings, and this is the life and death of the family.

Seven rings were enough to prove the seriousness of the matter.

Li Jinli did not dare to cause trouble and walked behind Li Chengping with Xu Yan.

As the seven-ring bell rang, the soldiers who were still resting immediately gathered together. Now there were five thousand elite soldiers, all wearing armor, and they were all assembled in less than a quarter of an hour.

Li Chengping said loudly: "Except for those who are responsible for daily duty, all the others will follow me to Yanyu Mountain to search for traces of the Armadillos!"

At the same time, in the mountains and forests south of Yanyu Mountain, people with short statures, weird hairstyles, revealing clothes and many tattoos were looking for something in the mountains and forests.
