Lord of the Desert

Chapter 65
Hong Sheng looked at Li Shenji while talking, and said: "Let's not talk about it, the He Gong of our Jinhai Li family, that is, the family Yan of Shenji's senior brother, was once ranked on the list of Tianjiao."

Hong Fan was taken aback, but he didn't expect that Li Heming, who had a double-sided relationship, would have such a glorious past.

"Indeed!"

Li Shenji replied with a straight back, faintly proud.

"At that time, my father was 24 years old. He climbed the ladder of heaven with his family's Ruyi strength, returned to his innate qi, and practiced the invisible qi sword to the great perfection. He competed hundreds of times with young leaders from all over Liangzhou, but he did not meet his opponent."

"This year, my father got the title 'Sword Crying Crane', and he was ranked No. 70 and six on the Tianjiao List."

Ruyi Jin is the martial arts handed down by Jinhai Li's family, and the invisible Qi Sword is its matching killing method.

When he was ambushed last time, Hong Fan had seen Wudang cavaliers use their qi swords to kill sand bandits more than ten meters away.

"I have seen the prestige of Mr. He before."

Cui Yutang slapped his folding fan and sincerely agreed.

"I traveled with my family's caravan to the cities of Liangzhou last year. When the older generation of people from all over the world mentioned Jinhai, they all recalled the elegant demeanor of defeating the enemy with 'swords and cranes'."

These words obviously touched Li Shenji's heart.

"Yutang is knowledgeable in studying and traveling."

He nodded approvingly.

"It's a pity that 25 years have passed, and no one in Jinhai has been able to reproduce my father's feat..."

Although the words were "no one in Jinhai", everyone could hear the self-deprecating meaning of the eldest son of the Li family.

The teahouse is full of unmarried young people. Among them, Li Shenji is 23 years old and has four meridian cultivation bases, and he is in the forefront in terms of age and martial arts.

But he obviously has missed the Tianjiao list.

"Hey, little brother can see that Brother Li is so embarrassing!"

Cui Yutang blamed it.

"If Jin Hai wants to be a genius, it will only be among the members of the three families; if several brothers are like this, then those of us who are doomed not to reach the ladder of heaven, shouldn't we cry every day?"

His words caused Li Shenji to smile wryly and shake his head, but he finally felt somewhat relieved.

In Jinhai City, the only "gong" level martial arts are "Yanliu Gong", "Ruyi Jin" and "Iron Clothes Gong" by Hong and Li Chi's three families.

The upper limit of the "jue" level exercises inherited by other small and medium-sized families and sects is only up to the sympathy between heaven and man, so it is naturally hopeless.

Hong Fan couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

"If the ten classics of the Great Flower are spread all over the world, I am afraid there will be no more troubles of snake people and giant spirits."

he said softly.

Ding Yushi answered immediately: "My lord, are you talking about the views of the sect?"

Just when he was expecting something, Hong Fan shook his head to refute himself.

"It means that, but the root of the problem is not here."

"The position of martial arts is wrong."

Hong Fan summed up his memories and experiences since time travel, and suddenly discovered that in this world of Dahua, martial arts that can truly "liberate people" physically are seldom regarded as a tool of productivity, but instead a guarantee of production relations.

In other words, the warriors who come and go do not put in labor to make a big cake, but exert their strength in the ownership of means of production and product distribution.

However, when Ding Yushi and others were "all ears", Hong Fan stopped talking.

He was too old to be present.

If the words that flashed through my mind just now are said to these young people present, it will not only be a conversation with the cows, but also a simple exchange of words.

It's just that in the eyes of other people in the tea room, Hong Fan's half-talking gesture is a bit arrogant.

"If you want to talk about the opinion of the sect, there are 10,000+ people in Jinhai City, and we should be the least qualified to complain."

When the atmosphere changed slightly, it was Cui Yutang who spoke again.

"Among us, the one who shouldn't mention this is Mr. Hong Fan!"

"The power of the star of fate is naturally true energy, there is no acquired innate limit, and the future son will break through to the innate realm, it will only happen when it is ripe."

These two seemingly derogatory words have had the opposite effect.

"Yeah, of course it's easy for people who stay out of the way to speak."

Zheng Fuqu teased.

As the center of all the stars in the circle, she used to be the one who bullied others with arrogance, how could she stand being despised.

"Thousands of Fate Stars, although Sha Shijie is not as good as Liangjietong, Juntianhou, Black and White Qilin, etc., but it is worse than ordinary martial arts."

"No matter how different families are in Dahua, you, Hong Fan, are detached anyway."

Hong Fan ignored the girl's provocation and silently wrote down the names of the stars she mentioned.

Just when Chi Xinchi was hesitating to come out as a peacemaker, Li Shenji asked abruptly: "It is said that Duke Zhuang, who is the supervisor, gave Hong Xiandi four Bailu Pills as a gift?"

"Young Master Li is well informed." Hong Fan replied.

Li Shenji raised his eyebrows: "It's not just me, I'm afraid everyone here knows about it."

Hong Fan looked around at the crowd and found that most of them were not surprised.

After the banquet that day, everyone in the Hong Mansion did not ask Zheng Zhun, Wen Zhongguan and others to keep the news secret.

"I heard that 3000 taels of Bailudan can break a rule?"

Chi Xinchi asked proactively.

"In theory." Hong Fan nodded.

"Unexpectedly, there are such miraculous medicines in the world, it's a pity that Jiaotong Hall..."

Chi Xinchi was about to sigh, but when she saw Zheng Fuchu's mouth tightened, she realized that she had said something wrong, so she immediately stopped talking.

"Then you are now at the level of the Eight Paths?"

Zheng Fuqu was too lazy to be angry with him, raised her eyebrows and asked Hong Fan, not caring that she had just mocked him.

"Talent is limited, and the four elixirs can only penetrate two serious ways."

Hong Fan replied very frankly.

Including Hong Sheng, everyone knew this information for the first time.

There was a slight silence in the tea room.

"Martial arts talent or something is no longer important to Hong Xiandi."

After a short while, Li Shenji was the first to express his comfort.

"With the power of the life star, the road ahead will be smooth."

His words were very earnest this time.

"If I get Sand World, how can I talk to Ruyi Jin?"

The crowd smiled and nodded.

Hong Fan shook his head, "The power of the Fate Star does not increase longevity, so I don't intend to give up Yanliu Gong."

Zheng Fuqu pouted immediately.

"Brother Hong Xian is very considerate."

Li Shenji complimented, but his tone was obviously disapproving.

There is no "qi returning to innate" level on the way of life star, so it is often a waste of time for Xingjun to practice martial arts at the same time.

What's more, Hong Fan's talent is nothing more than that.

From the people's point of view, when Hong Fan practiced Yan Liugong to the critical point and was limited by his talent, he naturally knew the truth that "manpower is sometimes exhausted".

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shenji realized that he had acted too naked just now, and spoke to remedy:

"I don't know something about my virtuous brother. Few people can use the star of fate together with martial arts."

"My father and Duke Jingsha have been fighting together all year round. They have a very strong friendship, but they know a little bit about the inside story."

He uncovered a mystery.

"Jing Shagong was old and his body was gradually declining, so he asked his father for advice on Ruyi Jin in order to prolong his life."

Li Shenji paused slightly, seeing that everyone was listening seriously, he didn't hold back.

"But in the end it didn't work out."

He said and looked at Hong Fan.

"The true essence of the star of life has its own trajectory. When practicing, it will definitely conflict with martial arts. If you want to practice two forces at the same time, your meridians need to be far more tenacious than ordinary people."

"When it's time to do it, you have to use it with one mind. It's as difficult as fighting with both hands."

"The meridians are tenacious and the exquisite mind is a unique talent among warriors. Let's not talk about whether you have it—but if there is an opponent that Sha Shijie can't solve, what use will Yanliu Kungfu and Ruyijin be of use?"
