It’s too difficult to cultivate immortality, so I used a strange beast to clone myself into a Taoist

Chapter 73 The whole family has arrived
  "Where did the team to announce the good news come from? Go find out what's going on."

In a teahouse on the street, the old leader was listening to a storyteller when he suddenly heard noise coming from the street. He frowned and found out that it was a team announcing the good news, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Following the order, he quickly walked out of the tea shop and went to inquire in the rain.

In less than half a cup of tea, the attendant ran back, wiped the rain off his clothes, and then approached the old leader and whispered in his ear,

"He is the eldest son of the Li Xian family. Li Qinglin returned from serving and became a martial artist. He said he had great luck and swallowed a strange herb. He seemed to be extremely skilled in martial arts..."

"what!"

When the old leader heard this, he instantly fell into a daze and could not recover for a long time.

Martial arts master?

Li Qinglin, a man who sold himself into slavery, actually became a martial artist?
  Oops, what if Li Qinglin learns that I confiscated the stall to feel sorry for his mother?

The old leader came back to his senses after a moment, feeling a little panicked in his heart.

But as soon as he touched the quinoa on the table and saw the respectful expressions of the tea patrons nearby, he immediately reacted.

"What am I afraid of?"

"I'm the leader! I'm half of the royal family. So what if Li Qinglin becomes a martial artist? Could he still dare to kill me?"

The old leader calmed down, thought for a while, and said to the attendant in front of him,
  "Not bad, not bad, Huabu Street under my rule has another martial artist!"

"You can prepare two big roosters and melon and fruit cakes as gifts and send them to Li Xianshi's home.

He also said that three days later, I would hold a banquet at Jixian Restaurant in the outer city and invite Li Qinglin to a party! "

In the eyes of the old market leader, although he confiscated Li Xianshi's stall out of 'official business', he is an old market leader. Who from all over the country wouldn't give him a penny?
  At this moment, he took the initiative to show weakness. It was reasonable and reasonable for Corporal Li Xian to entertain Li Qinglin, a young martial artist who had just become a martial artist. If word spread, no one would gossip about him.

Hearing this, the attendants did not dare to question and immediately left to deal with the gift-giving.

……

"What's going on? Why are there so many people here? Are they coming to our house?"

Li Qingqing stood at the door, watching the bustling crowd of people coming in, and subconsciously took a step back.

The team that announced the good news walked all the way to the outside of the fence, but did not go in. Instead, they stood on the muddy path and cupped their hands toward the house.
  "You all think that we are Mr. Li Qinglin's family, right?

Congratulations to all of you, Mr. Li has returned from serving and has become a martial artist. He has gone back to the palace first. He has sent us to report the good news! "

Returning from service?

Martial arts master? !
  Li Xianshi, Li Qingjing, and Li Qingqing were all stunned on the spot. This scene seemed like a dream.

Li Xianshi suddenly reacted and confirmed with trembling lips,
  "You mean Brother Lin is back?"

He nodded and said, "That's right."

"Have you become a martial artist yet?"

"Yes."

Li Xianshi's old and gloomy face suddenly became brighter, and she subconsciously wanted to take out her purse to give a reward, but she saw the newspapers rejected them with a smile, scattered the last red paper and left.

"Oh, Sister-in-law Li, your house is a bit messy after a busy day. Let's help you clean it up."

"Yes, yes, this fence is rotten. I'm going to get a new one."

"Haha, I have been writing calligraphy and painting for several years, why not let me add a couplet to my sister-in-law's house!"

Many neighbors who were watching the excitement crowded into the yard, and a few women even held Li Xianshi's hand in a flattering manner, talking about homely matters, and all they said were decent words.

"Sister-in-law! Thanks to your good teaching, Lin'er has become a talented person! Old Li knows better, so he can rest in peace!"

The burly man with a sinister face just now pushed aside the crowd blocking his way and walked straight to Li Xianshi.

This big man is called Li Guangfu. In terms of seniority, Li Qinglin has to call him uncle!
  He is a famous idler in Huabu Street. He looks down on such a lowly business as selling cloth. He is arrogant and thinks about big business every day. He has done everything from brokering, cheating, and speculation.

"In this way, I will arrange a banquet for Lin'er so that everyone can come and have a feast! Don't worry, I'll pay for the banquet!"

Li Xianshi knew in her heart that the man in front of her had definitely not made up her mind, and was about to refuse immediately. However, she saw several women running quickly from the roadside, with children and daughters in tow, and a woman in her seventies or eighties with a cane. Old man.

They are all Li Qinglin's second and third aunts and clan elders whom they haven't seen in more than ten years.

Li Xianshi's words were immediately blocked in his mouth.

It doesn't take a moment.

More than a dozen banquets were set up, and the neighbors exchanged glasses and feasted.

Especially the group leader sent people to send congratulatory gifts, which pushed the lively atmosphere to a climax.

Li Guangfu seemed to be even happier than the three Li Xians, and would always say to everyone he met, "My nephew has become a martial artist!" ’, and didn’t put down the wine glass in his hand for a moment.

The sound of gongs and drums was deafening.

But at the neighbor's house next door, Sister-in-law Gou was wearing an apron, but she closed the door tightly. He looked at the Li family with worried eyes.

"mother."

A weak voice came, and a lame man walked out of the room holding on to the edge of the table.

"Brother Lin has become a martial artist. Why don't you go and congratulate him?"

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Gou shook her head and said, "Big tiger, if a poor person tries to get a rich person, his backbone will be broken. So Li Guangfu must be so enthusiastic because he wants to gain benefits from Brother Lin."

Now that we are going to congratulate him, not only are we suspected of cheating, but we may also be able to win Li Guangfu’s heart and become a force in numbers!
  Just stop causing trouble for Brother Lin’s family! "

Hearing this, Hu Zi seemed to understand, but nodded silently.

……

After Li Qinglin returned the horses at the inn, he hurried home without stopping.

It was getting dark. As soon as he arrived at Huabu Street, Li Qinglin saw red paper and icing sprinkled all over the street, and a few children looking for unlit firecrackers among a pile of firecracker skins.

These traces spread all the way to the Li family.

Li Qinglin was a little dumbfounded when he saw this.

I just wanted to tell you the good news. Why is the battle so big? !

Isn’t this a big deal that everyone knows about?
  It was indeed festive and neat!
  Before Li Qinglin arrived home, he saw from a distance that the fenced yard of his house was crowded with wine tables, many of which were even placed in the middle of the road.

Li Qinglin frowned slightly and walked into the courtyard. Drunks and diners passed by from time to time on the roadside, but no one recognized him.

Li Qinglin saw Li Xianshi being surrounded by a group of people, sitting in the middle of the hall feeling a little uneasy.

Li Qingqing and Li Qingjing stood aside, along with several cousins ​​of about the same age.

Li Qinglin strode into the main room. His strong and burly body almost occupied the entire door, blocking the skylight and making the main room suddenly dark!
  Everyone subconsciously turned around and saw a figure with an unclear face and blurry body standing at the door.

Like a copper wall and an iron wall, it exudes an intimidating oppressive aura.

"Big brother?"

"Big brother!"

Although they hadn't seen each other for half a year, this time Li Qingjing and Li Qingqing recognized Li Qinglin at a glance and ran over in surprise.

Li Qingqing even threw herself into Li Qinglin's arms, refusing to come down even if she said anything.

"Brother Lin, you are back."

Li Xianshi just smiled softly, the corners of his eyes turning red.

"Is this Qinglin? What a strong young man!"

"I used to tease him when I was little, and in the blink of an eye, he became a martial artist!"

"No! I've long seen that my Qinglin is no longer a creature of the pond. How about it? I have good taste, right?"

Li Qinglin had no impression of the group in front of him. The three aunts and four aunts he had never seen before immediately started talking in a gentle voice to reminisce about the past.

Li Qinglin didn't say much, but quietly entered the room and put down his luggage.

After a while, the wine was gone and everyone dispersed, leaving a mess all over the place.

A waning moon hung lightly in the sky.

An oil lamp was lit in the room, its slightly dim light swaying in the wind.

But these relatives of Li Qinglin did not leave. Instead, they all squeezed into the small hall and sat full.

"Qinglin!"

Li Guangfu stood up drunk and said with a smile,
  "You have become a martial artist and you were born in the inner city palace. In this way, your name will be added to the family tree tomorrow."

An octogenarian old man nodded: "It's absolutely true, it should be so."

The Li family was not a big family. They were three generations of farmers, so they naturally didn't have the money to build an ancestral hall. They only had a genealogy that recorded information about their branches and genus.

After Li Qinglin was sold into slavery, his name was crossed off the genealogy.

Li Guangfu's words seemed to open up everyone's conversation.

The third aunt held Li Xianshi's hand, crying that it was not easy for her, and she wanted to borrow some money.

The second aunt pulled Li Qingqing forward. After praising the little girl for a while, she changed the topic and asked Li Qinglin if she could find a job for her eldest son in the palace.

It’s better to have more money and less trouble.

Li Guangfu struggled for a day, hosting the banquet and greeting the guests, and finally expressed his true intention, hoping that Li Qinglin could come forward to help him 'warn' several enemies.
