In the evening, there was a wind on the Bank of Xizi lake.
The breeze and the night spread at the same time. Under the dusky sky, the wind wrinkled the surface of the lake, and the solitary mountain reflected in the clear water waves became more green and dusty with the ripples.
GUSHAN is no longer a tourist attraction of Xizi lake.
After Li Honghe and the remaining Li's veterans set foot on Gushan, Lin'an officials soon announced that the interior of Gushan would be renovated.
Then there was no more then.
Lin'an municipal government reported the incident of Gushan to the provincial government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The provincial government reported to the cabinet.
The cabinet was silent.
So the provincial and municipal governments were silent at the same time.
The ticket office of Gushan was canceled, and the surrounding areas were quietly moved out of the sightseeing area of Xizi lake. The whole Li family began to take root in Gushan in the silence of Zhongzhou high-level.
The top management is still silent.
Everyone seems to have forgotten Li and Gushan. Up to now, no one, including Kunlun City, has expressed any opinion on Li Honghe's occupation of Gushan.
Silence is often acquiescence.
But more often, it can be an excuse.
However, it is obvious that as long as Li Honghe is still alive, Zhongzhou senior management will not raise any objection to Li's occupation of Gushan.
When Li Tianlan came to the foot of the solitary mountain, in the vast twilight, the green solitary mountain was located in the West Lake. It was hazy, and every plant seemed to have unspeakable beauty.
There are many flowers on the lonely mountain.
Li Tianlan got off the boat and went straight along the quiet mountain road.
The mountain is quiet.
Li Tianlan's heart gradually became relaxed.
Easy, but nervous.
It has been three years since I left Li's camp.
But Li Tianlan still did not make any achievements.
In the sky into invincible territory, today's list of God, known as Zhongzhou Tianjiao.
That's at the cost of your own martial arts foundation.
It is because of Li's friendship with the city of sigh that he became the young Lord of the city of sigh.
The East emperor hall was established.
But today's Donghuang hall is still weak and pitiful.
Li Tianlan's heart was suddenly a little timid.
In three years, he seems to have done a lot and nothing.
He is still in his infancy.
His martial arts and sword sense have been achieved.
But Li's glory is still dim.
Li Tianlan wants to tell the uncles and aunts who always follow Li's side, place all their hopes on themselves and still insist on it. He wants to tell them that he has done a good job outside.
Is it really good?
Three years, everything today
Slow down.
It's too slow after all.
He doesn't think he's doing well.
If you don't do it well, you dare not go up the mountain.
In the twilight, his steps gradually slowed down, and even became a little heavy.
On the lonely mountain, there is only the sound of the night wind blowing the treetops.
There is no guard on the isolated mountain, and there is no need to guard.
People who are hostile to Li's family will not go up the mountain. For those who insist on going up the mountain, it is useless to put guards in the mountain.
Therefore, most of the time on the isolated mountain is a cold and lonely path.
A woman in coarse cloth appeared at the end of the path.
A woman's face is very beautiful. Although there are some wrinkles in the corner of her eyes, the stubbornness and persistence between her eyebrows make her look like she can't tell.
Both ends of the road, up and down.
The woman saw Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan also saw her.
They were stunned at the same time.
A surprise appeared in the eyes of a woman who was no longer young.
Her pretty eyebrows raised subconsciously, and her body suddenly had a trace of indescribable valour.
Li Tianlan slightly quickened his pace and came to the woman. Before he spoke, the woman had already made a voice and said with a smile: "little Lord, you are back."
Li Tianlan nodded and called aunt Qingye.
There were not many women who left Youzhou with Li Honghe in those years, and there were fewer women's dependents. Qingye was not only a woman's dependents, but also a cadre of Li's family. She was Li's mother and had the experience of taking care of children. Therefore, during Li Tianlan's infancy, Qingye took care of her. Although Li Tianlan called her aunt, Qingye was not his adoptive mother.
Green leaf stretched out her hand, subconsciously want to touch Li Tianlan's head, but the hand just reached half, she took back.
Her smile seemed more beautiful than before: "I just came back last week. If only you had come a few days earlier."
"My life and I will see each other soon."
Li Tianlan said with a smile.
He hasn't seen Li Shisheng since he came back.
However, the final exercise of the two chambers is about to begin. As one of the four spirits in Zhongzhou, Xuanwu Li is likely to be there in person.
"Where are you going?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"I'll go down and get something."
Green leaf smiles: "not long after we came here a few years ago, Yu Dong came here once. He arranged for some people in the local area. Every day he would bring some fruits, vegetables and meat. Young master, our life is much better than before."
"Not good enough."
Li Tianlan said in a deep voice.
He looked up as if there was no end to the mountain road, and said in a soft voice, "how are you all these years?"
"All very well."
Green leaf is silent for a while, just open a way, she is still smiling, but the smile is very complicated.
It was a kind of mood like happiness and anxiety, which was so intense that Li Tianlan could not be sure of her sadness and happiness for a moment.
"It's just that your highness is not well this year."
Li Tianlan is awe inspiring.
It is an unchangeable fact that Li Honghe's body will get worse and worse as his out of control strength increases, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
It's only the third year.
He took a deep breath and said, "I'll go up first, auntie. I'll chat with you later."
Green leaf nods with a smile and passes by Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan took a deep look at her back.
Compared with the beautiful face full of numbness and despair in her memory, Qingye's smile is more now. When she mentions her grandfather's body, she will be sad and anxious. But now looking at her back, what Li Tianlan feels is only Yingwu.
Li's mood returned.
All emotions come together, and that's hope.
This is the status quo of Li.
The best status quo.
But the best has nothing to do with him.
Li Honghe has changed.
So Li changed.
Li Honghe's health is getting worse and worse. Everyone in Li's family is worried, but this hope has never disappeared.
Even if Li Honghe dies tonight, Li's hope will naturally fall on Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan turned around again and walked up the mountain quickly.
His steps were still heavy, but firm.
Some small wooden houses have been built on the top of Gushan Mountain, about the size of 20 to 30 buildings. The road on the mountain has been repaired, but the road condition is not good. At most, it can only be said that it is flat. 20 to 30 small wooden houses are located in the green flowers and trees, just like a small village built on the top of the mountain.
The former Li camp has become the present Li village.
The only constant is the vast and frightening cemetery.
The cemetery is built on the site of Qingyun temple.
Qingyun Mountain and Gushan are one. After the disappearance of Qingyun temple, Qingyun Mountain has become an isolated mountain. The highest peak on the isolated mountain has now become Li's cemetery.
Nearly a thousand tombstones are arranged up layer by layer, neat. The cemetery doesn't look gloomy in the night, but it just looks solemn and stirring and downcast.
There is no one on the top of the mountain.
There were only a few lights in the small houses.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Li Tianlan can clearly hear everyone's breath, long, gentle and rhythmic.
This is the breathing rhythm that comes only when you fall into the deep and obvious.
The whole Li family is obvious.
After years of silence, everyone seems to want to restore their peak state, or even surpass it.
Li Tianlan's heart continued to sink.
Finally, it sank to the bottom.
Because everyone is meditating.
But there are too few of them.
Li Tianlan's face is pale.
Sixteen!
Plus green leaves, only 17 people!
This is the Li family today.
Li Tianlan's body shakes, and an indescribable anger instantly occupies all his consciousness. His eyes are full of scarlet.
When he left the border three years ago, there were more than 100 Li family members.
After the first World War on the border, more than 60 people survived, including the wounded.
Now three years later, there are less than 20 people left in Li's family?!
Where are the people?
Li Tianlan looked at the large graveyard in front of him, hesitated and walked hard.
Out of the cemetery came a rickety old man.
The old man was thin and his hair was already gray. Because of his hunchback, his figure looked a little thin.
He was carrying a broom in his hand. It seemed that he had just come back from tomb sweeping.
Li Tianlan's steps stopped.
The moment he saw the old man, his mood seemed to become extremely calm.
The old man also saw Li Tianlan.
He looked a little muddy eyes quietly bright for a while, not salty way: "back."
Li Tianlan gave a hum.
This is the reunion of Ye and sun three years apart.
No surprise, no accident.
Calm as water, indifferent as night.
Li Honghe put the broom aside, waved and said, "accompany me in for a walk."
Li Tianlan goes to Li Honghe.
He has too much to say, but he doesn't know what to say for a moment.
Grandfather lost a lot of weight, and his straight back became bent all his life.
The once high spirited God of war in Zhongzhou has gone away.
With Li holding fast to the border for 20 years, the patient and silent old man is also far away.
Now he is only in twilight.
It was a weakness that would be silent for the rest of my life, with a power that was almost out of control.
At this moment, Li Honghe seems to be powerful enough to tear the world apart, but it seems that he may fall down in the next second.
"Your body..."
Li Tianlan hesitated and stopped talking.
"Don't worry."
Li Honghe's expression is open-minded and peaceful: "now is not the time. As long as I want to support it, I can at least support it for another two or three years."
"And you?"
Li Honghe took a look at Li Tianlan: "three years, how do you harvest?"
"I've... There's been some changes in my body."
Li Tianlan said slowly: "and... Grandfather, I give up the sword now."
In Tiandu, from the perspective of invincibility, he saw Li's Zhenshi unique sword.
In three years, his sword has been out of the category of sword, and gradually become his own kendo.
Sword 24 had been fully understood by him, and it was time to give up.
Li Honghe nodded carelessly and said, "your own way, your own decision."
There are no lights in the cemetery.
The more you go up, the more dark it is, so the lights stolen from those cabins under the tomb become more and more dazzling.
"Where are our people?"
Li Tianlan was silent for a while, and finally asked.
"They..."
Li Honghe smiles, but the smile is very complicated: "they have gone to the place they should go, and what they leave behind now are unwilling to go. When I die, these people will follow you."
"Where did they go?"
Li Tianlan did not relax the question.
"It's the place to go."
Li Honghe's tone is light without any emotion.
Li Tianlan is about to continue to ask, but Li Honghe has changed the topic: "tell me about your experience in the past three years, where have you been, and what are your feelings?"
Li Tianlan's three years are very simple.
But it's complicated.
It seems that there is nothing to say, but there is too much to say.
Li Tianlan sorted out her thoughts and said slowly, from leaving sky college to sighing City, seeing the useless world of situ cangyue, to the primeval forests and Volga River in the snow Kingdom, to the frozen polar regions thousands of miles away, to the mirage in the Pacific Ocean and the falling stars outside Hangu pass
He talked about the transformation of his will, about the sword meaning hidden after the recovery, about the golden hair beside him, about the famous sword that Lin Fengting gave him but was completely broken in his hands
In his story, there are Dongcheng family, Bai Qingqian, Dongcheng such as Wang Yuetong, Qin Weibai, reincarnation palace, and even Tiandu Purgatory and Beihai Wang family
He said a lot.
Li Honghe just listened in silence, no expression, and did not express any opinions.
Li's cemetery is very large.
They went up and down, slowly.
The whole Li family is still meditating.
Li Honghe took Li Tianlan back to his small wooden house.
There is hardly any decoration in the wooden house.
A hard board bed, a wooden table and several stools are all the furniture.
However, we can take root in this place where we can feel climate change and have sunshine, rain and snow. Compared with Li's past, this place is already like paradise.
Li Honghe turned on the light, sat down on the stool beside the wooden table and said, "so you are now the little Lord of sigh City, and the East emperor hall has got the first investment, and has also established a cooperative relationship with Jiang Shangyu. Only when the final exercise is over, can everything start?"
"That's right."
Li Tianlan thought about it and nodded.
"So, are you sure about the final exercise of the two houses?"
Li Honghe looked at his grandson, who had been away for three years, and asked with a smile.
"It's not a matter of certainty, it's a matter of having to win. I will win
Li Tianlan's tone is flat.
"I wish it were that simple."
Li Honghe said in a low voice: "Tianlan, I'm not sure you're going to enter the territory of Wudao now, but I think you'd better hide yourself before entering the invincible territory. If you win the final exercise, it seems that you can win a starting point for yourself, but your opponent is the whole Beihai Wang's and Kunlun city. It's still very difficult for you to go in the future. "
Li Tianlan was stunned. For a moment, he was not sure what Li Honghe meant: "grandfather, do you mean to let me give up this final exercise?"
Li Honghe was silent.
From his twinkling eyes, Li Tianlan saw hesitation, saw hesitation.
In the end, the exercise has become the most crucial step since Li Tianlan's accession to the WTO. It is very likely that there are two completely different fates between advance and retreat.
Li Honghe asked him to hide his clumsiness, which was more conservative.
Li Tianlan has no intention to evaluate this conservatism. For him, he has no way back.
"I will not give up."
Li Tianlan said faintly.
"Give me your reasons."
Li Honghe's tone is calm.
"The Wangs in Beihai and Kunlun city are already enemies. Anyway, my existence is a threat to them. In the end, winning or losing the exercise will not change their attitude towards me. In this case, I might as well win the exercise and let those who support me and intend to support me have more confidence. "
Li Tianlan whispered: "grandfather, you won't understand. If I lose to Wang shengxiao in the exercise, everything I did before will be a joke. Li will also become a joke. I have no way back. "
"Have you ever thought about the attitude of Wang family and Kunlun city in Beihai?"
Li Honghe asked.
"They have shown a clear attitude."
Li Tianlan said: "the reason why I am still alive is because you are still alive. If they want to move me, they have to get rid of you first. I have received the news that Wang Tianzong should be in Kunlun city now. "
Li Honghe raised his eyebrows abruptly. He looked at Li Tianlan and said in a low voice, "in this case, you shouldn't come back."
Li Tianlan was silent.
There are many things in the world, there is no should not, only whether or not to do.
"I have to come back."
He said word by word.
Li Honghe is here.
Li's people are here, too.
If the Li family is destroyed by Wang Tianzong and Gu Xingyun, what is his guardian Li family? What's the point?
"Maybe."
Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan with complicated eyes, and suddenly said, "if it's him... He won't come back."
"Who is he?"
Li Tianlan asked seriously. He watched Li Honghe's expression carefully and didn't want to miss any details.
Li Honghe shut up and just looked at Li Tianlan quietly.
"I have a few questions."
Li Tianlan said: "I should have asked three years ago. I hope my grandfather can help me."
"He said
Li Honghe has no expression on his face.
"Reincarnation palace master, and Wei Bai, is it related to you? Who is the reincarnation palace master? "
Li Tianlan asked.
There can't be love without reason in this world.
Reincarnation Palace's maintenance of him.
Qin Weibai has deep affection for him
Li Tianlan believes there will be an explanation for all this.
At present, this explanation can only be answered by Li Honghe.
Li Honghe looks at Li Tianlan silently.
His eyes were strange and complicated.
After seeing Li Tianlan for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"I don't know!"
Li Tianlan asked.
"I really don't know."
Li Honghe said with a bitter smile: "at that time, the reincarnation palace master found me. At that time, you were still in desert prison, and my state declined seriously. At that time, unless I tried my best, I would not be the opponent of the reincarnation palace master. When she found me, she didn't have the slightest interest in Li. She was just interested in you. I can see that she won't harm you. So when you left the border, I gave you the contact information she left behind. "
Li Tianlan took a deep breath and continued: "what about the Dongcheng family?"
"The Li family owes it to the Dongcheng family."
Li Honghe said faintly: "I have to continue to owe."
Li Tianlan frowned again.
The identity of reincarnation palace master has not been solved.
What happened to the Dongcheng family is another answer in Li Honghe's mouth.
The answer he got from the Dongcheng family was that the Dongcheng family owes to the Li family, not to the Dongcheng family.
"What else do you want to ask?"
Li Honghe took a look at Li Tianlan and said.
Li Tianlan's mouth muscles trembled and suddenly said with a smile, "does grandfather know that heaven is purgatory?"
"I know."
Li Honghe narrowed his eyes.
"Who is the God of purgatory?"
Li Tianlan looks at Li Honghe and asks.
Li Honghe looks at Li Tianlan quietly with a calm face.
"Is God my father?"
Li Tianlan's voice trembled: "it shouldn't be, right?"
He didn't know who God was.
But I think of what my grandfather once said to him a long time ago, which is impartial... I think of God's unique skill formed by 24 countless changes of sword... Combined with his age, combined with his dialogue with Wang Tianzong in Tiandu
Li Tianlan doesn't want to admit it.
But countless speculations in his mind told him that the God of Tiandu purgatory was his father, madman Li!
Li Tianlan really doesn't want to admit this.
Because when he broke into invincible in Tiandu, he could clearly perceive that no matter Wang Tianzong or God, there was always a wisp of killing intention condensed in his body.
If God is really his father, why did he want to kill himself when he was in Tiandu?
"He's not."
Li Honghe finally opened his mouth. He sighed softly: "it's not really."
Li Tianlan was slightly relieved and looked at Li Honghe quietly.
"So... Li's future depends on you."
Li Honghe said softly.
Li Tianlan nodded: "don't worry, grandfather."
His tone was calm and confident: "Li will regain his glory in my hands. I will let those who once owed Li, no matter Beihai Wang or Kunlun City, return them bit by bit!"
"I owe it to li..."
Li Honghe's eyes are in a trance: "Wang family of Beihai?"
For the first time, there was a trace of undisguised pain in his eyes.
The pain in his old eyes is so clear and deep, like a scar carved into his eyes.
He laughed, some self mockery: "if... If Beihai Wang did not owe Li?"
"What?"
Li Tianlan was stunned.
"I mean, if it was Li who owed Beihai Wang then... What would you do?"
Li Honghe asked.
Li Tianlan never thought about it.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
He remembered a word that his grandfather had said to him in Gushan three years ago.
In my life, I have not done many things right and many things wrong. However, many mistakes can be made up in the end, but some of them can not be made up until now, so they can only be corrected.
make the best of a bad bargain...
What did Li really do wrong in those years?
Li Tianlan brain for a time some confusion: "we, what did you do wrong?"
"You're right."
Li Honghe smile helplessly, smile desolately: "wrong is me, too cowardly, is my fault."
A voice suddenly sounded, fluttering, as if on the nine days above the sprinkle down, instantly covered the whole mountain.
"You're right. Many things, there is no right or wrong, only success or failure can determine the outcome. Why should Mr. Li blame himself? "
Li Tianlan stood up abruptly.
This is Wang Tianzong's voice!
His subconscious step is to go out.
"Don't move!"
Li Honghe suddenly gave a low roar.
Li Tianlan Leng Leng, subconsciously standing in place.
"He came anyway."
Li Honghe said in a low voice, "here we are at last."
He raised his hand slowly.
Li Tianlan's pupils contracted suddenly.
In his sight, Li Honghe's palm just gently lifted up and crossed the air.
But in the process of lifting his whole arm, it was as if he had been scratched by a sword. It was just a simple action, and it spilled blood.
The blood gushed from Li Honghe's palm, but it did not drip, but was suspended in the air.
Dyed the air red.
The air seems to have completely solidified.
Li Honghe shook his hand gently.
Countless blood beads were suspended in the air and dyed a large space red.
Li Tianlan's pupil instantly contracted to the extreme.
What air is there around him?
In the small house, every corner is full of sword Qi unconsciously!
The sword spirit filled every inch of space, and it had been transformed into a delicate and sharp gas sword shadow.
"Come with me."
Li Honghe said a word, suddenly clenched his fist.
Li Honghe's sword spirit spread all over his body, and the sword spirit quietly appeared in the whole house was swept away.
Li Tianlan followed her grandfather out of the room.
He saw everything outside.
In a flash, even with his will, he couldn't help choking for a moment.
There was absolute darkness all over the room.
The bright moon over Lin'an has completely disappeared.
A vortex with a diameter of several kilometers appeared at the top of the sky.
The whirlpool flows slowly and covers the whole mountain completely.
All over the sky sword is intended to roar in the whirlpool.
In front of Li Tianlan, all are swords!
The air was completely torn and condensed into one exquisite and sharp sword shadow after another.
Sword shadow is all over the sky, all over the earth, all over the lonely mountain.
Countless sword shadows, thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions!
The isolated mountain is disappearing.
Heaven and earth are disappearing.
The majestic and dense sword shadow appears in any corner of the whole isolated mountain, dense!
Li Tianlan can't see Wang Tianzong.
Only his voice sounded in the night sky.
"Mr. Li, as long as you can walk out of this sword curtain tonight, all the old grudges between Wang and Li in Beihai can be written off!"
Li Tianlan is short of breath.
His breathing is even sword meaning, stabbing his internal organs a sharp pain.
This is Li Tianlan's first experience of Wang Tianzong's sword.
The highest sword.
Every plant, mountain and water, the whole world, as long as he needs, everything is his sword!
Everything is invincible.
The shadow of the sword, which occupies the whole world, hangs but does not shoot.
But the whole Li family seemed to have no foothold under the sword curtain.
The shadow of the sword is like a raging tide, all over the world, whistling and surging.
This is the sword emperor of China!
All over the lonely mountain is the highest sword spirit of the whole dark world for decades!
Unique, unparalleled in the world!
