Chapter 34: My Daughter is Two Years Old, Dao Fruit [Pure Mind]
Li Che brought his uncle's family back to the Xuji compound. He stayed in his own yard for one night and went to find housekeeper Sun the next day.
Because of Xu You's agreement, Butler Sun did not make things difficult. Although Butler Sun's attitude towards Li Che became much colder after the loss of his son, if you think about it carefully, Sun Changbiao originally wanted to sacrifice Xixi in order to have a son.
The fault lies with his son, not with Li Che's family who should have been the victims.
After successfully solving his uncle's housing problem, Li Che also breathed a sigh of relief.
Recalling the oppressive feeling brought by the Spirit Infant Cult members when they were marching on the street, Li Che couldn't help but frowned slightly.
The entire Lingying Sect...you can tell at first glance that they are not good people.
Sooner or later it will be a disaster.
Inside the workshop, Li Che stopped the carving knife in his hand. His black hair was stained with sawdust. He looked at the snowflakes drifting in the yard, and in his mind, he wrote down the entire Lingying Sect in his must-kill notebook.
Of course, the one at the top must be the Spirit Infant Dharma Master, make a circle and mark it as the key point!
The days go by.
Ever since the bounty on Niu Mo was raised to five hundred taels, Li Che chose to keep a low profile, except for helping his uncle's family once, and never took action again.
Of course, during this period he also tried to look for the whereabouts of the head constable Zhao Chuanxiong. Unfortunately, Zhao Chuanxiong seemed to know that he was going to be killed, and became cautious and despicable.
He never appeared alone. Even when he traveled, he was accompanied by several constables and officers. At night, he did not return home and no one knew where he hid.
Li Che didn't find a chance to escape, so he chose to give up.
Perhaps due to the death of the Bagua Stick warrior at the Bone Tempering Realm, Feilei Outer City seemed to be stable for a while, but gradually news of children being killed came again.
As long as there are people, evil will never stop.
Time is like sand between fingers, falling through the fingers, and it is a cycle of spring and summer.
Before I knew it, half a year had passed in a flash.
Xuji Woodcarving Shop.
Li Che took a deep breath and blew away the wood chips on the wood carving. A statue of "Nine Sons Embracing Lotus" appeared vividly in front of him.
Old Chen had also carved a wooden sculpture of nine children holding a lotus before. But the one carved by Li Che was more vivid than the one carved by Old Chen, with unique meaning revealed, as if the nine children carved had come alive, playing and fighting, as if you could hear them in your ears.
This is the more profound meaning brought about after the [Immortal Craftsmanship] Dao Fruit is upgraded to level 3.
"Ah Che, your skills have improved! I'm afraid you'll be rated as a fourth-level woodcarver in the evaluation next month."
At the door of the workshop, Xu You, dressed in a white silk robe, leaned against the door frame, holding a jar of wine, and said with a gentle smile.
"Four woodcarvers can freely enter and leave the inner and outer cities. Ah Che... do you have any idea of moving your family into the inner city?"
Xu You asked.
Upon hearing this, Li Che thought of the many experts in the inner city. He heard that the real powerful people of the Lingying Sect were all in the inner city. Moving in would be too risky.
Just as Lao Chen said, although the living conditions in the outer city are a bit worse, it is far away from the center of the vortex, there are not so many right and wrongs, and it seems happy and comfortable.
Seeing that Li Che did not respond for a long time, Xu You waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this topic. If you enter the inner city, it will be troublesome to find you to drink."
As an unpopular person in the family, he has lost the possibility of competing for the position of head of the family. Staying in the outer city is equivalent to being exiled, and he is basically too lazy to go back to the inner city.
Ever since Xu You returned from the outer city after clearing out the evil creatures in the strange temple, he seemed to have hit it off with Li Che and often came to Li Che to drink. Perhaps he wanted to win him over at the beginning, but after a long time, he really regarded Li Che as a friend.
He became more and more familiar with eating at Li Che's courtyard.
After work, Li Che and Xu You returned to the courtyard together.
The loquat tree in the yard is lush and green.
Little Xixi was under the loquat tree, holding a wooden stick and shouting "hehe" all the time.
Xixi, who was one and a half weeks old, was lively and clever, and extremely intelligent, as if she were a three-year-old child. She was full of energy and jumped around all the time. The difference of this spiritual baby became increasingly apparent.
“Daddy!”
When Xixi saw Li Che returning, her chubby little face trembled, and she ran over happily on bare feet.
Then she braked suddenly in front of Li Che and Xu You, and her head with a pigtail almost hit Li Che's thigh.
"Daddy... you brought me some candied haws for Xixi to eat, where are they?"
Xixi blinked her big eyes and started looking.
However, after searching for a while he couldn't find it. He felt like a deflated ball, and his proud chest suddenly deflated.
Li Che smiled and picked up the disappointed Xixi, saying with an innocent smile: "That was what Dad promised you the day before yesterday. Didn't I bring you a candied haws yesterday? You remembered it wrongly."
Xixi was stunned for a moment and tilted her head: "Really? I even forgot the taste of the candied haws yesterday..."
After saying that, he licked his lips with his tongue.
Xu You suddenly burst out laughing: "Uncle, your father didn't buy it for you, your uncle Xu You bought it for you."
As if by magic, Xu You actually took out a candied haws, and Xixi immediately cheered.
Old Chen pulled a bamboo chair and sat under the loquat tree to enjoy the cool air. Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Third Shopkeeper, you should not spoil little Chou Xi. She has damaged her teeth by eating candied haws every day."
Xixi was immediately unhappy when she heard this, and pouted: "Stinky Grandpa Chen, I'm not little stinky Xi, I'm Nuanxi, Li Nuanxi!"
The mumbling words were still a bit childish.
It made several people burst out laughing.
Zhang Ya had just finished her busy work in the kitchen and started preparing dinner.
Xu You and Lao Chen, who were eating for free, together with Li Che's family, spread out a table in the yard and started eating in the summer evening.
Xu You really enjoyed this feeling. He lived alone in the outer city and ate and did everything alone. Now he cherished this lively and comfortable feeling very much.
After taking a bite of the pig's head, Xu You looked at Li Che and said, "Ah Che, during this period... the actions of the Spirit Infant Cult have become more and more aggressive."
"In the inner city, the Spirit Infant Sect teamed up with the Si family... and intervened in the Spirit Infants and Spirit Children of the other three families. They had a falling out with the other three families, and several people in the Bone Tempering Realm died."
"The Si family could no longer bear the anger. The instigator, Si Mubai, was driven out of the inner city. The forces of the Lingying Sect in the inner city were also cleared out, and most of them retreated to the outer city..."
Xu You said in a deep voice.
Li Che took a sip of wine and said, "Since the three major families in the inner city have fallen out with the Lingying Sect, why don't they completely wipe out the Lingying Sect's forces? Why don't they kill them completely?"
Old Chen smiled coldly: "This Lingying Sect originated from a strange temple outside the city. How can it be so easy to clean it up? Those Lingying Sect members, the top leaders are basically wearing masks and hiding their identities... The source of their power is complicated, how can it be cleaned up?"
"Perhaps the top leaders of the three great families, or the top leaders in the government office... may have powerful people from the Spirit Infant Sect."
Old Chen seemed to be used to such things, and his words were cold and a little sad.
"If this matter of the Spirit Infant Sect is not handled properly, Feilei City will be destroyed sooner or later."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After the conversation ended, the table fell into silence.
Xu You frowned and then relaxed his brows...
He looked at Lao Chen and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Old Chen gulped down a bowl of wine and slammed the bowl on the table: "The third shopkeeper also knows my origins. I was a refugee from Zhouyun City in the north. How Zhouyun City was destroyed... I will never forget it in my life."
Xu You sighed, without saying much, just looked at Li Che: "During this period, keep an eye on Xixi, don't let her run around... After the matter of the Spirit Infant Sect is over, or after the selection of spirit children next year, I will arrange for her to enter the 'Divine Cultivation Academy' jointly established by the major families in Feilei City. By then, her safety will be guaranteed."
"However, I have also received news... The Divine Sect will send strong men down the mountain to recruit disciples next year. Unfortunately, Xixi is still young, and I don't know if she can be accepted by the disciples of the Divine Sect. I will see how it works. If she can be accepted by the Divine Sect, Xixi will no longer have to worry about the threat of the Spirit Infant Sect."
"In front of a behemoth like the Divine Sect, the Spirit Infant Sect... is pitifully weak."
"Therefore, the Lingying Sect will probably go crazy before the Divine Sect disciples arrive."
Li Che nodded, filled his own cup, and toasted Xu You with a bowl.
"Xixi's matter...I'll trouble you, Old Xu."
Xu You rolled his eyes, but still raised the bowl in return.
"It's too formal. Xixi and I are very friendly."
…
…
Li Che listened to Xu You's words and did not take Xixi with him for a walk.
He also made a special observation and found that the outer city had indeed become much more chaotic, with the activities of the Lingying Sect followers becoming more frequent. Even outside Xu's Woodcarving Shop, there were often warriors climbing over eaves and walls late at night, coveting the place.
However, the guard team established by Xu You, who were composed of many martial arts woodcarvers, strengthened patrols. And after Xu You killed a coveted disciple who had achieved Kaijin Perfection, the Lingying Sect restrained itself a little.
However, the Lingying Cult is still active in other places.
The outer city of Feilei has been plunged into wailing in the past six months, and many people who have lost their children have filed complaints with the government.
The patrol officers of the government office organized a team to go out on patrol, but the results were minimal, as the evildoers of the Lingying Cult seemed to be able to get wind of the situation in advance.
Half a year passed in this chaos, but the chaos not only did not improve, but became even worse.
The cold wind blows, and early winter comes quietly again.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Xixi, two years old.
Outer city, Tingyu Lane.
In a yard rented by Li Che.
Li Che sat cross-legged. As soon as the snowflakes falling from the sky landed beside him, they were sprayed out by the internal energy surging from his body like a dragon and snake, and exploded into snow mist.
He slowly opened his eyes, and gathered his energy, all of which was channeled into the Dao Fruit [Dragon Elephant Vajra].
"The inner strength of the snake... has reached the third level. This school of inner strength has also reached its upper limit."
"If you want to reach the fourth level of internal energy, you need to learn a superior internal energy method."
Li Che exhaled, and a torrent of air gushed out of his mouth like a sharp arrow.
Suddenly, in his chest, the Dao Fruit [Xian Gong] and [Dragon Elephant King Kong] beat slightly! A familiar scene appeared before his eyes.
On the vast land, a towering precious tree rose from the ground, with countless leaves shaking and flickering. On it, a colorful fruit slowly grew. The fruit was shining brightly, and it seemed to reflect Xixi's many growth scenes in the past year.
With black hair draped over his shoulders, Li Che’s eyes sparkled.
Another year of anticipation finally blooms at this moment.
Xixi is two years old, and she has obtained her third Dao Fruit...
Finally arrived!
…
[Your daughter is two years old, safe and sound, without any illness or disaster, and you obtain a Dao Fruit "Pure Heart"]
