Chapter 108 The Elders from the Imperial Clan Descend the Mountain

Chapter 108 The Elders from the Imperial Clan Descend the Mountain
The name of Dadong Mountain is well-known throughout the world.

At first, it was because of the jade name of Dadong Mountain, and later it became known as the mysterious name of Dadong Mountain. Countless people who had no money to treat their illnesses had their conditions greatly improved after offering sacrifices to the gods here. As a result, the name of Dadong Mountain became more and more mysterious. It was said that Dadong Mountain could hear the will of heaven and get in touch with the legendary and illusory temple.

Li Chengzong naturally knew that these rumors were all nonsense. The reason why Dadong Mountain had the miraculous effect of curing diseases was mainly because the nuclear radiation energy was rich and could improve people's physique. It was just that people in the world did not understand the true meaning of it, and thus associated it with heaven and temples.

In short, because of the magical power of Mount Dadong, it is regarded as a holy place by those who practice asceticism all over the world.

Li Chengzong and Si Lili took the child away from the edge of the cliff. Not long after they walked away, an ascetic old man in coarse linen clothes came over.

The old man looked to be in his seventies or eighties, but his steps were unusually steady, his breathing was light, and his face was ruddy. He was obviously a master.

Li Chengzong was the first to politely salute: "My nephew Li Chengzong greets my third uncle."

When Si Lili heard how Li Chengzong addressed the old man, her face was filled with surprise.

If she remembered correctly, all of Li Chengzong's grandfather, King Cheng, lost his brothers when they were fighting for the throne.

So, where did this Third Uncle suddenly appear from? !

The old man was also a little surprised, but he still hummed, looked Li Chengzong up and down, showed satisfaction on his face, praised him, looked at the child in his arms and asked: "Is this Jing Xiu?"

Li Chengzong was speechless: "It's Jingyue."

Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment and looked at Si Lili.

"Niece's wife greets Third Uncle." Si Lili bowed and handed the little one in her arms over.

The old man did not embrace him, but just looked at him a few more times, shook his head and said, "Come with me."

The couple followed the old man along a quiet stone path, and after bypassing the temple in front, they came to a very old small temple. The mountain breeze here was quite strong, blowing the bells under the eaves of the temple, making them swing and make a clear and peaceful sound.

This small temple obviously has not been repaired for many years. Even though the mountain wind has been blowing for thousands of years, it has not turned the ancient temple into ruins. In addition, the architectural style of the small temple is quite different from the previous ones, and its dark and solemn color makes people inexplicably feel awe. At least Si Lili and the old man felt a sense of awe.

Li Chengzong didn't have any special emotions. He looked at the small temple in front of him and smiled faintly: "Third Uncle, this is where the old man and Ye Qingmei lived in the past, right? If you let us move in now, aren't you afraid that the old man will cause trouble for you in the future?"

"It doesn't matter."

The old man shook his head and walked away.

The couple carried the child into the room and saw that the small temple had been tidied up and food was on the table.

After settling the two little ones, they started to eat.

Li Chengzong and Si Lili were not the kind of people who insisted on not talking while eating or sleeping, so they chatted while eating.

"Why did a third uncle suddenly appear?"

Hearing Si Lili's question, Li Chengzong smiled and said, "To be precise, I should be the clan uncle. He is from the branch of my great grandfather's fourth brother. I call him the third uncle because it is more intimate than clan uncle."

"Then how did you know each other?"

"You forgot that I am the Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple. I naturally understand the people of the royal family, clans, and relatives."

Li Chengzong swallowed his food and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, your lineage is not cut off."

Si Lili rolled her eyes. She felt that what Li Chengzong said was nonsense. Her brother was alive and well, and her sister-in-law was now pregnant for several months and looked like she was going to give birth to a son. Naturally, the lineage of their Zhao Wang Mansion was not cut off.

Li Chengzong could probably guess what Si Lili meant, and explained, "What I mean is that the lineage of the Zhao Wangfu that Emperor Gaozu canonized back then has not been completely removed from the family tree, and there are still people on the family tree. Some of them are in the Dongshan Temple, but those people don't like your grandfather, and they probably don't like you. They are all people who are optimistic about the old man. In their eyes, your grandfather's behavior is very stupid. The key is that your grandfather also lost the title of King Zhao, so in their eyes, your grandfather is the biggest sinner of the Zhao Wang lineage!"

Standing in different positions, you will look at the problem from different angles.

Si Lili did not blame those elders mentioned by Li Chengzong, nor did she care about their attitude. Since the other party did not like her, she would just stop hanging out in the temple in front.

"You didn't come to Dadongshan on a whim, did you?"

Li Chengzong hummed.

"How long will we stay then?"

Li Chengzong thought for a moment and replied, "It depends on the situation. I plan to use the energy of Dadong Mountain to nourish the meridians of Jingyue and Jingxiu."

The couple chatted while eating, and occasionally said a few words to the two little ones in the stroller.

Just after finishing the meal, a maid brought supplementary food for the two little ones.

After feeding the two little ones and coaxing them to sleep, Li Chengzong "reluctantly" ate the "leftovers" of the brother and sister.

There was no other way. The two little ones had already started eating complementary foods and couldn't drink too much milk, and Si Lili had too much milk, so Li Chengzong, the father, had to solve the problem.

The next morning, Li Chengzong woke up early and went to the temple in front, where he stayed for the whole morning. Then he returned to the small temple and used the energy of Dadong Mountain to nourish the meridians of his daughter and son.

Li Chengzong frantically absorbed the nuclear radiation energy between heaven and earth, absorbed it into his body in the form of "energy of heaven and earth", converted it into his unique true qi, and then controlled the true qi to flow into his son and daughter's bodies, constantly nourishing and strengthening the two children's meridians.

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye. Early in the morning of that day, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the small temple as usual, wrapping the entire temple like a tornado, and a violent energy storm rushed into the small temple.

Seeing this scene, Si Lili was very worried, and she quickly ran to the temple in front to look for someone.

Then, she saw a group of people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, muttering something like the gods appearing. Then, a group of old people, at least fifty or sixty in number, came out of various temples and headed straight for the small temple at the back.

"Looking at this posture, it should be a breakthrough."

"Didn't you say that he is already a Grandmaster? Can a Grandmaster still break through?"

"Who knows? Why don't you go in and take a look?"

"What if it's a breakthrough?"

As several people were arguing, the old man who was leading them stood up.

"Let's wait and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Lili, who arrived a step later than the old people, came and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Are you the granddaughter of that bastard Li Changrong?"

When she heard the other person calling her grandfather a bastard, Si Lili knew that the other person was an elder of their Zhao Wangfu lineage, so she bowed and said, "Hello, uncle."

"Girl, according to seniority, you have to call him great uncle. This old man is your grandfather's uncle, dear!"

Upon hearing this, Si Lili had no choice but to bow again and change her address.

"Girl, are you blaming your uncle?"

"Juniors don't dare!"

Having said that, Si Lili was still a little unhappy.

If it was someone else from the Zhao Palace, she wouldn't have any thoughts, but the other party was her grandfather's uncle.

Si Lili also knew that she had no reason to blame the other party, but she just felt unhappy.

She was naturally unhappy, and the old man couldn't hide it from her. She sighed, "Don't blame your uncle for being cruel. Your grandfather was sentenced to death for the confiscation of his family and extermination of his clan. No one could save him. Besides, your uncle tried his best. Otherwise, how could you and your widow escape the pursuit? With the few guards you had at the time, how could you escape to Northern Qi through so many checkpoints?"

Si Lili was stunned, and then felt a little ashamed.

Just as she was about to speak, her uncle snorted coldly: "Your father is a good man, but your grandfather is a fool, and the biggest sinner in our Zhao Wang lineage."

Si Lili opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, so she just bowed respectfully.

Then the old man took Si Lili to meet other old people. After all, she was a descendant of the Li royal family and the concubine of Li Chengzong, the most promising royal son. Even if the old man disliked Si Lili's grandfather, he still smiled at her, not to mention the elders of other lineages.

After some introductions and small talk, Si Lili finally realized what her husband's position as Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple represented.

Although she had heard Li Chengzong say that there were different meanings for a prince to take up the post of the Zongzheng Temple, and she knew that Li Chengzong controlled a royal power, she didn't actually know what kind of power it was. Now she had a direct feeling about it.

There are dozens of clan elders right in front of us, so how many members of the Li clan are hiding in the dark?

Moreover, apart from the Li clan, there are also relatives by marriage in all dynasties. I am afraid that no one in the world knows about it except Li Chengzong and Emperor Qing.

Just as Si Lili was shocked, the energy storm that poured into the small temple finally stopped.

After waiting for a while, the door of the small temple opened and Li Chengzong walked out holding a child in each hand.

Seeing so many people gathered outside the door, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Sorry to bother you elders, I just accidentally broke through."

"Can a Grandmaster break through?"

"Look at what you said, great uncle. There are also differences among grandmasters."

"Then what state are you in now?"

Li Chengzong thought for a moment and said, "Grandmaster peak."

Upon hearing this, an old man asked curiously, "Do you think there is another realm after Grandmaster? If you break through the Grandmaster realm, will you ascend to the immortal realm?"

"Um... Seventh Uncle, read less storybooks." Li Chengzong shook his head and laughed, "But I have a feeling that if I break through to the Grandmaster level, my life span will be greatly improved."

"It turns out there is a realm beyond Grandmaster!"

"Don't even think about it. We are not the successors of the sect. It would be a great fortune for the world to be able to break through to the Grandmaster level in one's lifetime."

Upon hearing this, some of the elderly accepted their fate, while others refused to accept it. Some felt lost, while others seemed to have found a bright way forward and were full of fighting spirit...

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed.

The next morning, Li Chengzong and his party descended from Dadong Mountain.

Compared with the dozen or so people who came with them, their team going down the mountain was much larger, because there were sixty-three elderly people going down the mountain with them.

After the sixty-three people came down the mountain, they had a meal with Li Chengzong and then dispersed to various places in Qing Kingdom...
