Chapter 444 New Year’s Eve
Chapter 444 New Year’s Eve
The white crane flapped its wings and came, then landed far away without disturbing the carriages and horses on the road.
"Second brother!"
Li Yuan came quickly.
It was not easy to exchange letters these days, and he could not always know the movements of Fuyuan Escort Agency, so he had asked Gao Gang to come and pick him up.
"what?"
In the carriage, Li Lin heard the sound and lifted the curtain, only to see a young man walking quickly in the light snow, his green Taoist robe fluttering in the wind.
He was tall and slender, with broad shoulders and a straight back. He walked with a calm gait and a smile on his face. His voice was neither loud nor low, but as he spoke, the entire official road seemed to fall silent.
The escort leaders of Fuyuan Escort Agency dismounted one after another, greeted him, and called him "Uncle Master" or "Grand Uncle Master".
"That's the third one!"
Wang Juan pushed Li Lin, who was startled and quickly jumped off the carriage to meet him, his face full of joy and surprise: "You, why did you become a monk?"
“…Wearing a Taoist robe does not mean you have become a monk.”
The first sentence almost stumped Li Yuan. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He immediately waved to the people from Fuyuan Escort Agency, saying that they couldn't block people on the road in such a cold weather.
The convoy continued to move towards the city.
Li Lin pulled Li Yuan onto the carriage. In the carriage, Wang Juan was holding a little girl and looking at him curiously, while the little boy threw himself into Li Lin's arms.
"sister in law."
Li Yuan greeted them. Seeing his family again after so many years made him happy and feel an indescribable sense of security.
These are his relatives in this world.
"Xiaoyi, Xiaoyu, this is your third uncle."
Wang Juan smiled and pushed the two little ones, who timidly called out "Third Uncle".
"Good boy."
The carriage was small, and Li Yuan couldn't hold the children, so he just touched the heads of the two little ones.
Well, middle and lower bones, the same as he was back then.
But he didn't care. Most people in this world had average to below average physiques. Superior physiques were a minority after all. He had seen a lot of them because he was from different places.
The Divine Weapon Valley gathers all the geniuses of the prefecture, while the Dragon and Tiger Temple gathers all the heroes of the path. In other places, superior aptitude is still rare.
"Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I haven't even come home to visit."
Li Lin had some complaints.
"A man should have ambitions to go far and wide. Do you think the third child is just like you, staying at home every day and not wanting to go out?"
Wang Juan glared at him.
Uh……
It seems that there is no difference. After taking a look at his second brother who was frustrated, Li Yuan felt relieved.
Over the years, he had often thought about inviting his second brother and his family over, but he had not been stable before. There were many twists and turns in the journey from Zhelong Prefecture to Dechang Prefecture and then to Hengshan City. It was not until now that he finally settled down.
"Mr. Zhang is old and doesn't want to travel around."
Li Lin coughed lightly and changed the subject, talking about the old things in Gaoliu County: "He received your letter and heard that you learned the best weapon casting skills, and he was very happy."
Zhang Ben did not come along.
Li Yuan felt a little regretful, but he also understood that not everyone was willing to leave their hometown, especially the elderly.
"Fatty Sun followed."
Wang Juan added, and just as she finished speaking, Sun Hao's voice came from outside the carriage:
"Where is Li Yuan? Where is he?"
"here."
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Yuan got off the carriage and rushed over with his huge body. After many years of separation, Sun Hao's hair had turned a little gray, but he was still fat.
However, after nearly ten years, he has now successfully tempered his body.
"Good boy!"
Sun Hao patted his shoulder, only to feel as if he had hit an iron ingot, and immediately grimaced.
"Tsk, he's almost strong. He must have been practicing martial arts quite diligently in the past few years."
Li Yuan took a look at him. He was still fat, but stronger now. Under the fat, he had strong muscles. His every move had a bit of ape-like flavor.
This is a sign that the White Ape Cloak Hammer is approaching perfection.
"Thanks to your booklet."
The two of them did not get on the carriage, but just walked slowly, chatting about what had happened in Gaoliu County over the years. In fact, there was nothing much, it was mainly about how hard he worked.
Of course, what is more important is the booklet of experience and some pills that Li Yuan sent back.
The experience written by Li Yuan was completely tailored according to the individual's physique and martial arts. Following the steps, Fatty Sun made rapid progress and achieved the highest level of body tempering.
For him, this was naturally something worth bragging about, as his brother-in-law was only at this level back then.
"Keep working hard, and you'll be stronger."
Listening to Fatty Sun's chattering, Li Yuan felt a sense of familiarity. Back then in Gaoliu County, if it weren't for the financial support from this fat guy, his life would have been much more difficult.
"After you left, the Yuan family took good care of our weapon forging shop, and the city guards were also on our side, so we lived a pretty good life. If you hadn't said in your letter how great Hengshan City was, I might not have been willing to come here."
Sun Hao was quite emotional: "It's been less than ten years, and you have fought your way from Gaoliu County to Hengshan City. The true teachings of Longhu Temple are beyond imagination."
Over the years, Gaoliu County has occasionally heard news about Li Yuan, and he has a more direct sense of it.
The attitudes of all the forces in Gaoliu County, including the Yuan family and the city guards, changed from a few families offering protection, to making friends, to all kinds of flattery...
When they left Gaoliu, the Weapon Forging Shop had already become the most powerful force in Gaoliu County. Not only the nearby counties, but even the governor of Yunjing County would come to visit in person from time to time.
As he said, life is very comfortable.
Sun Hao kept talking, and Li Yuan had little chance to get a word in, but he was in a good mood, feeling quite happy about returning home rich and powerful. His friend's sincere admiration and admiration made him happy.
"My mind is still not calm enough. Tsk, what a vulgar person."
Muttering to himself, Li Yuan led the caravan into the city, first delivering the luggage and belongings of his second brother's family back to their house in the city, and then led a group of people to find a restaurant.
Of course there must be a welcoming banquet.
Master Li was a wealthy man, so he ordered a portion of every signature dish, including every kind of spiritual fish and spiritual beast meat, and also ordered Baicao Niang and Xianrenzui wine.
His family had come from far away, so he couldn’t just make fried rice with eggs.
"This this……"
Li Lin was a little frightened. How much would this cost?
He wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Wang Juan.
Gao Gang and others are also present at the banquet, which is both a welcoming and a thank-you party. They have escorted her all the way. If it were her, she would also prepare a table full of good wine and food.
"Mom, I want to eat..."
The two little ones were very innocent. They had been eating dry food most of the time during the bumpy journey. Their saliva was almost watering when they smelled the aroma of meat.
"Brother Gao, thank you for escorting me all the way."
Li Yuan stood up and toasted.
"Where, where."
After drinking the glass of wine, Gao Gang's face became quite rosy. Other escort leaders of Fuyuan Escort Agency were also at the table. They were quite flattered to see Li Yuan toasting them.
"Uncle Three..."
The silly Li Yi tugged at Li Yuan's trouser leg.
"Eat."
Li Yuan picked him up with a smile. He didn't care about the so-called rules at the table, but no one would pick up their chopsticks unless he sat down.
The strict hierarchy of the Dayun Dynasty involved all aspects, and no one thought it was wrong, as if it was the way it should be.
"Junior Brother Li, I offer you a toast."
"Second brother, drink a couple of glasses too. Sister-in-law won't blame you."
"Stop drinking!"
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves while drinking and drinking.
When Li Yuan felt a little tipsy, a group of people were already lying on the table. He opened the window to dissipate the smell of alcohol and told the waiter in the building to send everyone back to their residence.
Only then did he carry Li Lin and return to the house.
Although the mountain was nice, it was not suitable for children to live in. After thinking it over, he decided to settle his second brother's family in a house in the city.
In the following days, he rarely went back to the mountain, and soon the end of the year arrived.
……
boom!
boom!
boom!
Fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded.
In the second year after arriving in Hengshan City, Li Yuan spent the holiday in the city. He invited Wang Peiyao, Liu Zheng, Fang Yunxiu, Qiu Changying and others to his house for a meal.
The two little ones were running and playing in the yard, and the house, which had been empty for more than a year, finally became lively.
After dinner, Liu Zheng returned to the blacksmith shop, while Wang Peiyao took Fang Yunxiu and the other girl aside to talk.
"Old Third, you are not young anymore, don't you want to settle down?"
Li Lin was cleaning up the dishes, while Wang Juan was looking at Fang Yunxiu and her two daughters not far away.
She had only been in Hengshan City for a few days, but many matchmakers had already come to her door, all of whom were talking about big families in the city. However, she was more inclined towards Wang Peiyao and Fang Yunxiu.
"..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Li Yuan knew what she wanted to say, but he really didn't have such an idea, so he just evaded the question. Seeing that she wanted to talk more, he quickly went back to the house.
"Second sister-in-law is really..."
After closing the door, Li Yuan shook his head.
As a true disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, if he wants to get married, if he reveals his intention today, he will have to wait for his door to be opened tomorrow.
But he really didn't have this idea. Women were not as attractive to him as forging iron and forging weapons, let alone practicing martial arts.
"I guess it's my second brother's idea."
Li Yuan felt helpless.
Li Lin has a very simple idea that men should get married when they are old enough, and he has said it many times, both explicitly and implicitly.
"call!"
In the night, fireworks were heard exploding. In the yard, children were playing. Li Yuanxu was practicing standing meditation. After a while, he stopped and sat cross-legged. While meditating, he was also sorting out his martial arts.
His current focus in martial arts training is on practicing a number of mid- and lower-level martial arts.
With the blessing of the two great Heavenly Profound Soldiers, as well as the various weapons he had collected by exchanging old for new, in the two months since he killed Mo Long, he had cultivated sixty mid-to-lower-level martial arts to perfection!
These martial arts were carefully selected by him. The worst one was in the form of a spirit beast. There were also quite a few intermediate martial arts such as the Ancient Elephant Six-Shaped Hammer.
hum~
Li Yuan closed his eyes, and suddenly a huge noise rose from the spiritual land. Thunder dragons exploded like fireworks and transformed into hundreds of different beasts.
Thanks to the nourishment of the Black Whale Qi and the Health-Preserving Qi, his physical and mental strength further improved, and he could barely maintain hundreds of visualizations at the same time.
"Three hundred and fifty-three!"
In just over two months, one hundred and thirty-three new forms were added!
Feeling the surging power in his body, Li Yuan felt extremely satisfied. How could the love between men and women compare to this kind of transformation and improvement that was like a rebirth of oneself?
"One third of the thousand forms are already complete!"
Li Yuan was excited, as the blessing and modification of the Mirage Dragon Belt had come to an end.
This is Baixing again!
