Chapter 492
The coal stove was lit again, and Li Xiong stir-fried a large plate of chives and eggs for the three brothers who were short of money to nourish their bodies.
On his way back, Tong Xuanzi passed by a medicine shop and grabbed some medicinal herbs that could nourish the kidney, blood, and strengthen the foundation. At that time, the power of prescriptions was not in the hands of hospitals. After visiting the hospital, patients could take the prescription and go out to buy medicine on their own. The price was much cheaper than buying medicine in the hospital. So in Shanghai now, many medicinal herbs that could not be bought later could be bought in pharmacies.
The herbs were chopped and poured into the claypot for the decoction. Later, he would replace Li Xiong’s chives fried eggs for the second course of kidney supplement. No, to be precise, it was the third course.
Li Wuxiang took out a box of medicine from his pocket, took three pills himself, and then gave the rest to Li Xiong and Tong Xuanzi. “Take a few pills to fill your stomach first.”
Li Xiong took the medicine box, glanced at it, and said blankly,”What is this medicine?”
She was a middle school graduate, yet she could not even read a single word.
“This is the best kidney-nourishing medicine I can find in the pharmacy. Ever since I ate it, my waist has never hurt.” it’s a pity that my dad wasn’t lucky, ” li Wuxiang said. when he was alive, this medicine had not been developed yet. However, my son will definitely be able to eat it in the future. It’s called “kun” or “kun” or “kun” or “kun” or “kun.””
Li Xiong tried to remember, but he couldn’t, so he didn’t care. He also took three pills, then rubbed his waist and ate the chives scrambled eggs.
actually, I’ve been around for so many years and I’m not really short of money. You should’ve told me earlier. I’ll just bring enough money. Li Xiong sighed. Why did it have to be like this?
but you don’t say. The little demons are really fun. They’re even more fun than the hair salon girls. Li Xiong’s face revealed a satisfied expression.
“Hmph, a beauty withered to bones.” Tong Xuanzi snorted coldly.
Li Xiong and Li Wuxiang understood brother smirk’s side-eye without a teacher.
Tong Xuanzi felt a little guilty. What are you looking at? ”
“You say no, but you’re actually the one who’s most lost in it.”
“......””You’re not allowed to tell anyone about what happened tonight,” Tong Xuanzi threatened.
Usually, when others threatened someone, they would add “otherwise, what would happen” at the end, but Tong Xuanzi would not do that, because he always could not think of how to threaten people.
Among the three of them, Tong Xuanzi was the most serious and reserved. Most of the disciples of Haotian Taoism were like this. They paid particular attention to maintaining their composure even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them. This was called maintaining one’s spirit.
Li Wuxiang was normal. He was neither serious nor slutty. He had the shortcomings and advantages that young people of this age should have.
Li Xiong was the most frivolous, mischievous, and frivolous.
Most of the time, Li Xiong took the lead in mocking and teasing Tong Xuanzi, while li Wuxiang assisted from the side. The people with a bottom line were always bullied by the two people who lacked down-to-earth connections.
“We’ve been to brothels together, and we’re fellow disciples, so why don’t we become sworn brothers?” Li Xiong’s boisterous character was still there, and he always liked to call people brothers.
Li Wuxiang and Tong Xuanzi agreed.
It was difficult for the people who came later to understand the impulsiveness of that year. They felt that things like becoming sworn brothers sounded childish, pretentious, and embarrassing.
There might be some Chuunibyou, but they were not pretentious. In Li Xiong’s opinion, when they traveled the pugilistic world and became sworn brothers, it would be a friendship that could be exchanged for lives.
There was no place to buy chicken in the middle of the night. Things like swearing Brotherhood had to be done on the spot when the interest was there. After sleeping, the enthusiasm might be gone. So, he placed two eggs, a pot of stir-fried leeks, a clay pot for decocting medicine, and a box of kidney-nourishing medicine.
“Hey, wait a moment.” Li Xiong suddenly stood up and ran down the stairs. A few minutes later, he returned with a copy of ” Romance of the Three Kingdoms “.
we have to be more formal. We can’t just kowtow and it’s over. We have three brothers in this world, and we have to let heaven and earth bear witness to this. With that, he released the first chapter of the Three Kingdoms play, ” three sworn brothers of the heroes in the peach Garden banquet “.
“I’m Li Xiong.”
“Li Wuxiang.”
“Tong Xuanzi.”
“Although we have different surnames, since we’re brothers, let’s work together to travel the pugilistic world and help those in danger. They didn’t ask to be born on the same day, same month, and same year, but they wanted to die on the same day, same month, and same year. The Emperor of heaven and earth, prove this heart, betray justice and forget kindness, and kill both heaven and man!”
Betraying justice and forgetting kindness, killing both heaven and man.
After they became sworn brothers, they had a tacit understanding and didn’t mention who was the boss. However, the relationship between the three of them had unknowingly taken another step forward.
“I have an idea, you guys help me think of it.” Li Xiong suddenly said as he sat on the balcony drinking.
The two of them looked at him.
“I plan to wear a mask and travel in Jianghu, just like the one-armed hero yang Guo.”
“Why?”
“Didn’t Tong Xuanzi say that if I wanted to take revenge, it would be difficult to punish the Jade hilt through the Taoist and Buddhist Association? Then I’ll have to find my own way to get revenge. If I wear a mask, my identity won’t be exposed, so I don’t have to worry about the Taoist and Buddhist associations finding me here.” Although Li Xiong did not look serious on the surface, he had been in the pugilistic world for a long time. He had both experience and intelligence, and had long considered the consequences.
then let’s go straight to their door. I’ll help you. Li Wuxiang said.
“It’s best to try to contact the Buddhist Society first.” Tong Xuanzi suggested,”the most taboo thing to do is to be killed without being taught.”
I feel that my cultivation speed is not fast enough. I can’t even beat you guys. Li Xiong looked very discouraged.
“.....”Li Wuxiang and Tong Xuanzi looked at each other and said in unison, ” “Are you out of your mind?”
A young man who had just awakened for half a year was actually so arrogant and wanted to surpass them, who had been cultivating since young.
“You’ve only been awakened for half a year, but I’ve been practicing Qi since I was five.” Tong Xuanzi said.
“I’ve been practicing Qi since I was three.” Li Wuxiang said.
“You told me before that great-grandma only found you and your mother when you were nine years old.” Tong Xuanzi said.
“Did I?”
a few years later, your mother wanted to remarry, but your great-grandma didn’t allow it. She hung her up for a day and a night. One day, your mother ran away when she wasn’t paying attention.
“...... I don’t care, I started practicing Qi when I was three.”
“Then I started when I was two years old.” Tong Xuanzi changed his words.
“I started when I was one.” Li Wuxiang was not to be outdone.
“I started it when I was still in my mother’s womb.”
...
“I started practicing Qi before my mom got pregnant.”
“How do you practice?”
“My dad is practicing for me.”
Tong Xuanzi was stunned. He couldn’t find any words to refute and drank his wine gloomily.
“Then I won’t be able to catch up with you two.” Li Xiong felt that it was a pity, ” but my son will definitely catch up in the future.
Recently, Li Xiong and Pingping had been stuck together like glue. Some time ago, the two of them had secretly done the dirty things between a man and a woman in Li Xiong’s house.
According to Li Xiong’s thoughts, after he earned a little more money, he would marry Pingping and have a wife and children. That was why he had been talking about his son recently.
Tong Xuanzi and Li Wuxiang sneered to express their disdain.
Pingping is not a demon descendant. It’s good enough that your future son can feel Qi in half a year. You want to catch up with us in half a year?
Qing Shi, who was inside Tong Xuanzi’s body, chuckled and said, ” “If you think my amplification isn’t enough, it’s not impossible to speed it up.”
“What is it?” asked Li Xiong hurriedly.
...
“Plucking.”
“Forget it,” he said.
Pingping had almost died from plucking, and his three underlings had been killed because of that. Li Xiong hated people who plucked their essence the most in his life. With the exception of the kind-hearted fairy ladies in the club.
“Infant pill.”
“What’s an infant pill?”
Tong Xuanzi’s face darkened. the nascent pill is an elixir made from babies. Moreover, they are not more than six months old, or they are fetuses who have been pregnant for six months. In Dao sects, it is also called the heavenly cycle golden pill. The fetus will condense innate Qi after six months, and this innate Qi will only dissipate after six months of birth. Therefore, normal babies will not get sick in the first six months of birth.”
Li Wuxiang warned,”great-grandma told me that cultivation is not only about Qi, but also about the heart.” Don’t go astray, or Tong Xuanzi and I will destroy you with our own hands.”
Li Xiong rolled his eyes. normally, once the protagonist walks the path of evil, he will kill anyone who stands in his way.
Li Wuxiang was unconvinced. it’s obviously me, the unparalleled war Spirit’s companion. I’m the main character.
Li Xiong retorted,”don’t compare blindly. It’s clear that my life experiences are more like the protagonist’s.”
“In theory, monks are more likely to be the main characters,” Tong Xuanzi analyzed.
“Which wuxia novel has a monk as the main character?” the two little plums spat.
“Do you have a problem with monks?” Tong Xuanzi said with dissatisfaction.
“Do you want to fight?”
“Come on, I’m not afraid of you.”
fighting is bad for harmony. Let’s stand on the rooftop and pee. Whoever pees further will be the main character.
“Li Wuxiang, you can get lost. I still want to continue to live here.”
They didn’t fight, but they were afraid that they would tear down the building. They had the ability to do that. Peeing was too immoral, so he just thought about it and did it.
Li Wuxiang had drunk too much wine. Sitting on the edge of the roof, he couldn’t help but think of the past.
When he was nine years old, on that misty and rainy afternoon, he saw a girl holding a black umbrella walking on the muddy path outside the village. She was a fair person with fair wrists, and her canvas shoes were covered in mud.
She touched his head and said, ” from today on, you’ll change your name to li Wuxiang.
The reason was that his original name was too unpleasant.
At that moment, he had opened the gate of heaven.
That day, he and great-grandma had met for the first time. At the same time, he had brought back a piece of news that his father had died.
His mother became a widow. After a few years, she couldn’t stand the loneliness and ran away with her lover. She even took away the large amount of savings left by her father.
They had long planned this. They bought train tickets and ran from Shanghai to Guangdong Province. It was a full 1500 kilometers. In this era, it was considered to be the end of the world that no one could find.
Li Wuxiang was afraid that great-grandma would kill his mother, so he tried to stop her, but he was knocked unconscious by the angry great-grandma. When he woke up the next morning, he saw great-grandma who was travel-worn.
He had thought that his mother and the man were dead, but it turned out that great-grandma had only gotten back his father’s passbook.
“If it was 50 years earlier, I would have killed them both with a single slap. Can’t be a widow ... It was fine. A woman who abandoned her family and son deserves to die.”
Li Wuxiang suddenly understood that great-grandma actually knew that his mother had a lover. She endured it.
After that time, li Wuxiang realized that great-grandma was not happy. The endless life did not bring her happiness, but helplessness and compromise.
She was forced to change her views time and time again by the trend of the times. For an adult with stable views, it was undoubtedly the most painful thing to do.
It meant that many things that one could not tolerate or agree with could openly happen around one. One could not stop it, or else one would be condemned by society.
Li Wuxiang didn’t care about how his mother and the man were doing. He also hoped that the woman wouldn’t come to him again.
Before his father died, he left a sum of savings that was enough for them to live a wealthy life for the rest of their lives. The man was willing to take his mother across 1500 kilometers of land to live in an unfamiliar place. Li Wuxiang did not believe that there was no such deposit.
Great-grandma had taken back the money, so his mother and the man would not have a good life.
Time passed quickly, and one and a half years had passed. Tong Xuanzi had been in Shanghai for two years. The three of them had cultivated with Qing Shi, serving justice in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai areas, eliminating evil spirits, killing foreign species, and killing demon descendants. Li Xiong always wore a silk stocking hood, Sun Wukong’s mask, and Zhu Bajie’s mask ... He had never revealed his true appearance and identity to the outside world.
.....
The sound of the door opening pulled li Xianyu’s attention back from the diary, and he frowned.
did I disturb you? ” Thunderbolt battle lady saw his frowning and irritated expression. She was afraid of making him unhappy, so she stood timidly at the door.”I thought you’d be fine, so I didn’t knock.”
“What if I was doing something embarrassing and you came in without knocking? wouldn’t it be awkward if you saw me?” Li Xianyu questioned.
“What do you mean by that? are you hinting that you want me to help you in the future?” Thunderbolt battle lady showed a vigilant expression.
“What’s the matter?” Li Xianyu asked.
“Lightning King just called, he wants to talk to you about Shangqing sect.”
“What’s wrong with Shangqing sect?”
Thunderbolt battle lady hesitated and whispered, ” Tong Xuanzi, right? he’s afraid that you’ll get involved with the Qing sect and bring great-grandma to cause trouble.
Baoze used to be the boss in name, but now it had become more legitimate. For those demon descendant organizations that were recorded and obeyed the rules, baoze was in theory their umbrella.
Baoze could not do this duty of protection, but it could not turn from a protective umbrella into a hailstone that could kill people. Li Xianyu was an important employee of baoze, so without a reason, he could not persecute a demon descendants organization that was willing to obey the rules.
“I don’t need to involve others in this.” Li Xianyu lowered his head and continued to read the diary.
If li Xianyu was six or seven years younger, and was still in his second year of middle school, he would definitely slaughter the entire Shangqing sect. Now that he was old and had experienced so many things, his mentality could not be considered peaceful, but at least he could be reasonable. Tong Xuanzi was already dead, and this matter could not be related to Shangqing sect.
If it was like the situation with the demonic priest, if the Shangqing sect protected Cao Jun like the CAO family, then he didn’t mind turning the Blessed Grotto-Heaven Upside Down.
Thunderbolt battle lady stepped in the pair of expensive white Women’s Leather Boots and stopped at the desk. Her eyes kept glancing at the diary, and she asked tentatively, ” “Can, can I watch it together ...”
“Yes.”
That short word made her a little happy.
His adoptive father’s diary must have recorded some very private past events. The fact that he was willing to let her read it meant that he did not treat her as an outsider.
So, with a little happiness in her heart, she stood beside li Xianyu, bent down, put her hands on her knees, and watched with him.
Thunderbolt battle lady did not ask li Xianyu to give up his seat to her as his girlfriend. In front of her adopted father, who had just passed away, and her son who was reading his diary to reminisce about the past, she still wanted such a melodramatic woman. She was simply too insensible.
Thunderbolt battle lady looked at it for a while, then stepped back with a red face. “Your dad ... How can you write such things?”
The plot entered a plain daily life. The adoptive father probably felt that there was nothing much to write about during this time, so he focused on describing their second experience at the nightclub.
“I’m not watching anymore.” Thunderbolt battle lady thought that as a Virgin, it was really shameless to accompany her boyfriend to watch this kind of thing.
“Go on.” Li Xianyu nodded and watched her leave the bedroom in a long dress.
......
after they became sworn brothers that day, li Wuxiang went home and fell seriously ill. He recuperated for several days before his body recovered. After that, under the threat of his great-grandmother, he told her about the nightclub affair. He was hung up and beaten for a day and a night, and he was bedridden for a week.
the dance club didn’t open. Li Wuxiang was involved in stock speculation and lost 150000 Yuan. He was hung up and beaten by his great-grandma for three days and three nights. He was bedridden for half a month before he recovered.
“I found a way to make a fortune by selling pirated discs. After a friend introduced me to them, I found a supply channel in Zhu Hai. It’s sold very well.”
Wu Xiang doesn’t like this kind of small business. He’s not willing to work with me. He went to sell pager.
“Both the pager and pirated discs are promising businesses. In 20 years, I’ll be the leader of the disc industry, and he’ll be the Big Brother of the pager industry.”
“The disc of light will never die, and the pager will never die.”
something big happened. Tong Xuanzi was injured by the unparalleled war spirit. Li Wuxiang knelt in the yard for three days as punishment. Tong Xuanzi came to say goodbye to me. He is going back to the mountain.
......
“What’s going on? why did she hit you? is Wu Xiang still kneeling?”
On the roof of the residential building, Li Xiong and Tong Xuanzi sat side by side. Medicine was being boiled in the coal stove behind them. Tong Xuanzi’s face was bruised and swollen. His external injuries were not serious, but his internal injuries were quite serious.
“She knew that li Wuxiang had been hanging out with me for the past two years. Yes, she said she was fooling around.” Tong Xuanzi laughed at himself.
Li Xiong looked at him and felt that this man had suddenly lost his previous confidence and indifference. His eyes were dim, and his face was depressed with a trace of unwillingness and sadness.
“What’s going on?”
His instinct told him that this matter was not simple. Logically speaking, Tong Xuanzi and Li Wuxiang were cousins, so li Wuxiang’s great-grandma was also Tong Xuanzi’s great-grandma, but it sounded like the unparalleled war spirit hated Tong Xuanzi very much. Just because the two of them were together, she flew into a rage, beat one of them, and punished the other to kneel.
It was said that li Wuxiang was only punished to kneel. The Li family’s great-Grandma’s Heart was so biased.
