"Yes, I know." Li Changsheng said, "Someone came to tell me today that if I let you leave me, you can regain your qualification for the imperial examination, and even become the top scorer in the imperial examination. Haha... These practitioners are more powerful than I thought, no wonder I can't get in touch with them on weekdays."
"I refused, too."
Wei Xi hugged him tightly, and Li Changsheng could feel her slightly trembling body.
"I'm so scared. It would be easy for them to separate us."
"At least they asked for your opinion, which is obviously not evil." Li Changsheng comforted her, but his mood did not relax. Instead, it became heavier.
People's patience is limited.
It was spring again. Li Changsheng got up as usual. As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw several people wearing Taoist robes and bamboo hats, whose faces could not be seen clearly, standing in the yard.
From their bodies, we can tell that they are all women.
They had lost their patience. It turned out that people who practiced cultivation were different. They waited for a whole year.
During this year, Li Changsheng regained his qualification for the imperial examination. The new county governor personally came to Qingshui Village to invite him to take the exam. Many dignitaries wanted to make friends with him... Such changes did not make Li Changsheng happy. Instead, he felt overwhelmed.
The power of those who practice cultivation is stronger than one can imagine, and their status is more transcendent. All secular officials have to look at their faces.
"Mr. Li, it's time to end it. You and Wei Xi are not suitable for each other. You don't have any qualifications for cultivation. In the past year, you can't feel any Qi, while your wife has reached the peak of Qi training."
"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. If we continue to drag this out, it will only implicate both of you."
Li Changsheng bowed his hands and said respectfully, "Master, that's right."
After a year, these people still haven't taken action, so they are obviously not evil people. If it continues to drag on, it will not do Wei Xi any good.
If you are an eagle, you should spread your wings and fly high.
It was another night, and the couple still couldn't fall asleep until midnight.
This time, Li Changsheng spoke first: "Xi'er, go ahead. They shouldn't be bad people."
"What will you do if I go?" Wei Xi said in a muffled voice, "We agreed to practice together..."
"I will come to you when I have achieved success in my practice."
"You lied to me, they said you don't have the talent for cultivation." Wei Xi grabbed his clothes tightly. After being guided by those people, her strength made Li Changsheng irresistible.
Li Changsheng understood this very early on. Wei Xi had become more extraordinary and extraordinary since her practice, and her power had far surpassed his. But she still looked weak in front of him and never really resisted.
Rather than being concerned about her own feelings, she was more deceiving herself and denying the difference between immortals and mortals.
"Go ahead." Li Changsheng held her in his arms, "I'll wait for you here."
"They also said that there is a treasure in the world that can allow people who don't have the qualifications to practice to practice. Wait for me to come back."
That winter, Wei Xi passed away, and Li Changsheng continued to live in that small courtyard as usual.
In winter, snowflakes fell and Li Changsheng sat in the yard, with the snowflakes hitting his hair.
He flipped through the secret book page by page without fear of the cold. Those who practiced said that what was recorded here was the most basic Qi Refining Technique.
In spring, the jujube trees bloom, and a faint fragrance penetrates into the nostrils.
Li Changsheng was flipping through the Qigong Technique. There were some holes in his clothes, he had some stubble on his chin, and his hair was a little messy.
In summer, the ivy outside the courtyard had climbed to his feet, and the leaves of the jujube tree were blocked by him from the scorching sun.
It was winter again, and a servant of the Wei family broke into this slightly desolate courtyard and walked towards the man with disheveled hair and patched clothes, who looked like a beggar.
"Mr. Li, Master Wei is seriously ill and wants to see you."
Li Changsheng was stunned for a long time, and there was a little more color in his empty eyes. He stood up from the stone bench.
"take me."
The Wei family mansion, due to some unknown reasons, the Wei family produced several successful candidates in succession, and their fortunes soared to new heights, becoming a well-known large family. Li Changsheng had been relying entirely on the Wei family for support over the years.
The entire mansion naturally became very magnificent.
Led by his servants, Li Changsheng walked in and saw Wei Xiucai who was bedridden.
"father in law."
When Wei Xiucai saw Li Changsheng, a smile appeared on his old face and he said, "Changsheng, come closer so I can take a good look at you."
"Yeah." Li Changsheng stepped forward and knelt beside the bed. Wei Xiucai had raised him and was also his father-in-law, so he could be considered half a father to him.
A skinny hand stroked his face, and at that moment he realized that Wei Xiucai had grown old and was no longer the elegant gentleman.
"Your father died early, and he handed you over to me. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father, nor did I fulfill my responsibilities as a teacher. You should have soared to the sky with your wings. Xi'er delayed you, and you shouldn't be like this."
Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "I want to thank you for betrothing Xi'er to me. You don't mind my poverty, so how can I begrudge you?"
"Changsheng, I'm sorry. My Wei family is sorry for you. Divorce Xier, and I will give you half of the Wei family." Wei Xiucai grabbed Li Changsheng's hand, his voice became hoarse, "There are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the worst. You can even take a concubine."
"In this life, Changsheng will only marry Wei Xi."
In the early spring, Wei Xiucai passed away. Since the death of his parents, the last elder who cared about him passed away.
Li Changsheng mourned for her for three years and then returned to his small courtyard.
Li Changsheng sat under the jujube tree. He no longer looked at the Qi-training technique, because the book had been torn to pieces by him, and the Qi-training technique in it was gradually forgotten by him.
He just sat there quietly, watching the wind and rain blow through the years, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Only the thunder in the sky could make him look up.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, the jujube tree fell down, crushing their already dilapidated house and waking up Li Changsheng.
"Has it been so many years?"
He waited so long that the date tree died.
Li Changsheng lifted up his scattered hair and found that his hair had turned black without him knowing it. His face seemed to become younger and there were no wrinkles on it when he touched it.
“I have entered the Tao.”
He was so sure, but joy did not emerge as expected.
He walked out of Qingshui Village, walking faster and faster, as if he was running like a madman towards the world he longed for.
From then on, there was a wanderer named Li Changsheng in the world.
