Chapter 129 Visitors come to join the sect
Yue Niang and Li Sheng were busy finishing up the Li family's affairs. The baby Li Zhou felt a little bored without his mother.
In order to attract her attention, Master Liaochen took out a picture book that she usually read from her sleeve.
The story begins with a graceful and handsome young man crawling at the feet of a lady in luxurious clothes, with his head tucked into her robe.
Nun Liaochen quickly closed the storybook, stuffed it back into her sleeve, and found another one suitable for children.
Li Zhou hadn't yet seen clearly what was drawn in the book, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
Master Liaochen said, "You are still young. I will teach you when you grow up."
Li Zhou asked curiously, "How big should it be?"
Master Liaochen looked at her hesitantly, suspecting that the baby in front of her would suddenly grow to that size after she said a number.
The two looked at each other in silence for a while, and then Master Liaochen forced herself to start telling a new story.
Li Zhou looked at her from time to time, as if he didn't understand why the question just now was not answered.
Master Liaochen was on pins and needles for a long time, and Yue Niang and Li Sheng, father and son, finally came back.
She breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to her room, preparing to carefully check the notebooks she had with her and filter out all the ones that should not be shown to children.
When Li Zhou saw Xiangxiang's mother, he didn't care about the book anymore. He stood up and ran to Yue Niang, hugged her calves and looked up: "Mom, is the bad guy gone?"
There were bad guys coming to the house these days, so she stayed in the backyard obediently and didn't make a fuss to look for her mother.
Yue Niang recalled the empty Li family ancestral house, the disappeared Li family members, and the fragments of robes that left traces of passing through but were quickly blown away by the wind: "Forget it... Let's go."
Li Sheng and Da Lang looked at each other and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. How could it not be considered as leaving if they completely disappeared from this world?
Yue Niang picked up Li Zhou and said thoughtfully, "Zhou'er has been born for so long, but he has never met his grandparents, uncles and aunts."
In order to avoid the situation where the elders come to the house to drive out the evil spirit, it would be better for me to take the initiative and take Zhou'er back to my parents' home to meet the elders.
Li Sheng paused. Why did he subconsciously feel that when addressing Yue Niang's parents, he should add the word "wai"? It seemed to be an old rule that died with the Li clan...
He shook his head, without thinking too much, and said to Yue Niang: "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. How about today?"
When Li Zhou heard that they were going to visit relatives, she raised her hands and feet in agreement. She leaned close to Yue Niang's ear and said knowingly, "Do we have to take back the money we gave away before?"
Yue Niang didn't expect that she knew about the gift money. After thinking for a while, she said to her, "Zhou'er, remember, the gift money that I give to your cousins is two taels of silver."
Li Zhou received the important task of collecting red envelopes and nodded solemnly.
She has to see if her uncle's red envelope is enough.
The family set off as soon as they said they would, hitched up the carriage and rushed to Yue Niang's parents' home.
In the carriage, Yue Niang tried to recall what her original surname was and what her father and mother's surnames were respectively, but she couldn't remember no matter how hard she tried.
When the carriage stopped at the door of another "Li Mansion", she suddenly realized that she and her parents now took their daughter's surname. Zhou'er's surname was Li, so they all had the surname Li.
When Mr. and Mrs. Li heard the announcement from the doorman, they hurried to the door to greet their beloved grandson. They were dazed for a moment when they saw their own plaque.
They subconsciously felt that something had changed, but they couldn't remember what it was after thinking for a long time.
Li Zhou pulled his silly brother and called out "grandparents" sweetly with him.
If you want to receive red envelopes, you have to be sweet-mouthed.
Under the impact of Li Zhou's 24-hour charm, Mr. and Mrs. Li's heartbeats quickened and their eyes narrowed into slits due to smiling.
Whose child is so cute?
It turns out it’s from my house.
Hehehe, a big red envelope, give it to me.
The old couple took Li Zhou's hand, one on each side, and led him into the house.
My uncle and aunt arrived late, bringing the children with them.
The two were worried that Yue Niang had come back to divide the family property, so they wanted to give her a warning, but when they saw Li Zhou, they were stunned.
Such a lovely child should be given the best. How can you take away her things just because of a little selfish desire?
Without waiting for Yue Niang to speak, the two took the initiative to propose that Yue Niang was also the child of the old Li couple and should take half of the family property. It was only natural that the daughter and son should each take half.
Only in this way can we take better care of our baby!
Dalang nodded repeatedly. The three-year-old boy consciously kicked himself out of the range of babies. There was only one baby in this family, and that was Zhuer.
Yue Niang and Li Sheng looked at each other in surprise. They had been adapting to Li Zhou's ever-increasing charm since she was born, and their resistance was much stronger than others. Naturally, they could not have imagined that they would be so fascinated by Li Zhou.
Li Zhou had originally prepared to count out two taels of silver, but he didn't expect that after sitting for half a day, he would find a thick stack of land deeds and silver bills in his arms.
Too many to count...
Li Zhou said quickly: "I must be filial to my grandparents."
This sentence made the old couple confused and they kept asking them to bring snacks quickly and give the baby more food.
The cousins thought about it, ran back to their rooms, took out their favorite toys, and shared them with Li Zhou.
When the cousin saw that Li Zhou’s hair was a little messy, she used her small comb to comb it into two buns for her.
It was discovered that Li Zhou could eat seven plates of dim sum without stopping, and the elders’ praise for him couldn’t stop. Li Zhou proudly ate the eighth plate amidst the praises.
When the family was having a great time, a young man riding a donkey came to the foot of Xili Mountain. He was wearing a bearskin coat, had a pair of double pupils in his eyes, a smile on his face, and looked happy.
"We're finally here." He raised his head and said while looking at the mountain gate of Duotian Sect.
He squeezed the donkey's waist and was about to go forward, but the white dog hurried out to stop him, speaking in human language and asking him if he had a visiting card.
The White Dog was afraid that he would be too idle when not serving as a mount and would be kicked out of the sect, so he found himself a job as a doorman.
It will surely be able to sit firmly on the throne of the guardian beast of the mountain!
"I am the Prime Minister below, and I have come to pay my respects to the mountain master. Please report to me."
The young man's double pupils looked at the white dog, which was stunned for a moment and only heard a series of confusing mutterings in its ears. It seemed as if its soul had escaped from its body, but was pulled back by an invisible force the next moment. It turned around involuntarily and ran towards the top of the mountain where Gongsun Jianxia was.
This is the power of the gods, the white dog thought in horror as he ran.
On the side, Wang Sili, Zhang Da and Wei Yuan, who had been eagerly waiting for the Duotian Sect to open its doors and accept disciples, stood up and looked at the scene in surprise.
Even though they were just mortals, they could see the magical power of the young man with double pupils.
And this mysterious young man came to visit with such a humble attitude.
The Duotian Sect is indeed a real immortal cave.
For a moment, the three of them became more eager to join the Duotian Sect.
…
Fortune teller Li Zhou stood on the shaking deck, looking at the clear blue sea around him in wonder.
Members of the Wang family kept throwing rice grains to "General Wu Geng", or the whale, not far away.
According to past rules, after offering tribute in this way, General Wu Geng would leave.
But today, the generals not only refused to leave, but also kept pushing rice grains back to the ship, as if to express their willingness to not accept offerings and to serve as sea guards for the ship for free.
After a while, a few more turtles brought back golden jewels, and a group of seagulls brought back lively fish and shrimps.
The Wang family members gradually came to their senses and looked at Master Xie with admiration. How come they only now knew what the real Sea God was like? She didn't even do anything, but she received a steady stream of offerings.
This is the Poseidon, the master of the sea.
Things like Xianying Hou and Zhenhai Wang are all false gods with only title and who only eat and drink for free.
At a command from the Wang clan leader, the clan members threw the two statues of gods enshrined on the boat into the sea.
With a splash, the statue's face became gloomy, and its eyes stared straight at the Wang family members until it was submerged by the sea.
Seeing that there were more and more fish around him, Li Zhou asked a member of the Wang family for a sea fishing rod, put bait on it, and started fishing with great interest.
Wan Niang floated out from the banner next to her and looked at the sea curiously. When she was alive, she took care of housework at home and never traveled far. After her death, she was trapped in this banner and spent many years in the void.
If it weren't for Li Zhou, she would never have the chance to see the scenery of the sea.
After a while, a circle of ripples appeared on the sparkling sea surface.
The fishing rod began to bend, the waves hit the hull, and the sound of the waves rang in my ears.
With a series of teeth-grinding squeaking sounds, the Wang clan members cheered: "We caught a fish! We caught a big fish!"
Li Zhou quickly grabbed the fishing rod and began to reel in the line. She felt obvious resistance, as if a big fish was trying to swim out and escape, dragging the fishing rod with it.
Bubbles gurgled out of the sea, as if it was boiling. Wan Niang couldn't help but encourage Li Zhou: "What a big fish this must be! Try harder! You will definitely catch it!"
Li Zhou didn't expect that he had such a talent for fishing. He said to himself excitedly, "As expected of me."
She worked hard to tighten the fishing line, competing with the big fish in the sea. The fishing rod was stretched like a bow, as if it would break at any time. She was anxious and subconsciously threw out the string of copper coins wrapped around her left hand.
As soon as the string of copper coins touched the water surface, it automatically turned into a spoon shape, sank to the bottom of the water, and caught a lively thing.
A member of the Wang clan shouted, "This is Master Xie's Big Dipper Formation!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they were silenced by the sound of a gust of wind.
Li Zhou's mind was so focused on the fishing rod that he didn't notice that the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.
The thing under the sea was scooped out of the water with a copper coin spoon. Li Zhou then lifted the fishing rod and threw the thing onto the deck.
Although there was suspicion of cheating, this was the first fish she caught!
Li Zhou thought complacently, but the next moment, he heard Wan Niang exclaim "Huh?"
She looked at the deck blankly, and saw that what was lying on the deck was clearly a boot tangled with seaweeds, and there was no trace of a fish at all.
Li Zhou opened her eyes wide, ran to her boots, and looked everywhere for her fish. Being a clean person, she thought her boots were dirty, and was struggling over whether to lift up her boots to have a look when she suddenly heard Wan Niang's solemn voice.
"Where did all those people from the Wang family go?"
Li Zhou was startled, he straightened up and looked around, only to see that the deck, which was bustling just now, was now empty.
She frowned in confusion.
Wan Niang looked nervously at the unmanned rudder, picked up the flag she was possessed by, and ran to Li Zhou.
She knew that she could not fight against any evil god, but when the danger came, she still tried to protect her daughter in her own way.
It was extremely quiet all around with only the sound of surging waves. Not long after, pale corpses began to float up one after another on the sea surface surrounding the ship. The faces of the corpses were exactly those of the Wang family members, headed by the patriarch of the Wang family.
Wan Niang opened her arms, held up the banner, and blocked Li Zhou behind her.
Li Zhou looked at her illusory back, pressed his violently beating chest, and blinked.
This is a reaction produced by the body itself.
After a moment, Li Zhou seemed to understand what he should be feeling at the moment. Tears slowly flowed from his eyes and he called out "Mom" with emotion.
The enemy hiding in the dark seemed to think that she was distracted. The originally calm sea suddenly rose up into huge waves, which slammed towards Li Zhou. Two gloomy faces revealed strange and resentful smiles behind the sea water.
First, their throne was stolen by Tianzun, and then they were abandoned by their believers. The revenge of Xianying Hou and Zhenhai Wang finally came.
The believers deserve to die, the Heavenly Master deserves to die, and this Master Xie deserves to die too!
They imagined the pleasure of tearing the fortune teller to pieces, but they didn't notice that a dark cloud had appeared in the sky above their heads, and in the thick cloud, two bolts of lightning were ready to strike.
“BOOM—BOOM—!!”
Amidst the roar, two bolts of lightning struck at the same time, hitting the two gods who had offended Him.
The huge shadows of Xianying Hou and Zhenhai Wang fell from mid-air and landed on a white porcelain plate, turning into a plate of fragrant and crispy salt and pepper fried squid, which was served in front of Li Zhou.
The waves fell back into the sea with a crash. Li Zhou looked up at the figure who was descending from the sky, holding a dinner plate. Her face was red, her mouth was like a bird's beak, her left foot was on a thunder drum, and she had an electron microscope on her waist. Her expression was respectful and her posture was timid.
"I am Jin Guang. I heard that you were going out to sea, so I came to see you off. I didn't expect to run into these two evil spirits. Fortunately, they didn't succeed. You had to take action against these two little monsters. If others knew about this, wouldn't they blame me for not hosting you well?"
Fortune teller Li Zhou looked at the salt and pepper fried squid she brought and thought thoughtfully: She must be a good person.
Wan Niang silently stepped aside, wondering about the origins of the woman who called herself Jin Guang, wondering if she was the legendary Thunder God. Seeing her eagerness to show her courtesy, she seemed to be competing with someone for first place.
At the foot of Xili Mountain, after hearing the report from the white dog, Fang Xiang, a young man with double pupils, slowly walked into the mountain gate. He paused, and his happy face suddenly showed a bit of gnashing of teeth.
"Damn it, she got there first!"
He quickly quickened his pace and took out the gift for the visit from his arms as he walked.
In front of Swordsman Li Zhou, a screen full of fireworks and prompts popped up on the simulator interface:
[Congratulations on unlocking the hidden achievement: The sound is far away from the high place, not because of the autumn wind! *]
[Nuo God Fang Xiang and Thunder God Jin Guang heard about the deeds of Duotian Sect and were deeply moved. They came here to join the sect and fight for justice with you! ]
Swordsman Li Zhou nodded in understanding, clicked the Q-version head in the lower right corner of the simulator, and released the clan leader Li Zhou.
"As the leader of a sect, it's time to take care of the sect's affairs. Look at you, you've been lazy for so long!" Swordsman Li Zhou pointed at the sect leader Li Zhou, "Go and entertain the guests!"
Sect leader Li Zhou gave a helpless smile and turned to walk down the mountain.
After finishing his snack, the baby Li Zhou wiped his mouth and lazily lay in Yue Niang's arms, sighing in his heart that it was better not to grow up, as adults have so many things to do.
