The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 103: Famous Sword, Eternal Night

"Are you Xiao Hao?"

In addition to Li Qianfeng, among the three generations standing outside the hall, there were also He Jianlan's children.

Li Mingguang and Li Sibei are both around 35 years old now.

In terms of age, he is much older than Li Hao and others, almost twice as old.

Both of them have joined the army a long time ago, and are now generals in the army with extremely high cultivation. Li Mingguang has just entered the first stage of the Three Immortals, and his sister Li Sibei has also entered the celestial realm for many years.

In terms of cultivation, both of them are the best among the three generations of the Li family, far ahead of others.

The same is true when it comes to meritorious service.

After all, age is there.

But He Jianlan had said in his early years that his children would not compete for the seat of the True Dragon.

Since these words are made public, they are naturally extremely binding.

However, even if he wanted to compete, among people of the same age, Li Mingguang only entered the fifteen-mile realm at the age of eighteen.

At the age of twenty-five, he entered the realm of heaven and man.

Now, ten years have passed and he has entered the three realms of immortality. Such progress is already extraordinary!
However, compared with Li Qianfeng and Li Hao, who are of the same age, he is much inferior.

At this moment, Li Mingguang looked at Li Hao with a smile on his face.

He had heard of this name before returning to Qingzhou, and he had high expectations for this cousin whom he had never met before.

Such amazing talent has already surpassed that of Uncle Nine back then.

He and his sister Li Sibei were born early and grew up with Uncle Jiu when they were children. In fact, he is even older than Uncle Jiu!

but.

Because of their seniority, when he saw his ninth uncle, who was two years younger than him, he still had to bow his head and call him "uncle" respectfully and politely.

Apart from the strict rules of the Li family, he was also willing to call out. After all, his uncle Jiu, who played and practiced together when he was a child, later left the world after he embarked on the journey of cultivation.

Every year it shocks everyone in the hospital, like a bright meteor.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents.

Fourteen years ago, when Uncle Jiu passed away, he also accompanied him with a pot of wine in the army far away on the border.

Drinking in the army is a taboo, but he drank anyway.

After drinking, he took the initiative to receive the punishment and was awarded 100 military whips, which left his skin torn and bloody.

But he didn't even frown at that time, instead he smiled.

But later, when he returned to his tent, he burst into tears.

"Cousin."

Li Hao nodded and greeted Li Mingguang.

"Even I can't see through your cultivation level. It seems that you have also practiced the technique to conceal your aura." Li Mingguang said with a smile.

Li Hao smiled slightly.

Li Mingguang looked at Li Qianfeng next to him again. Compared with Li Hao's breeze, Li Qianfeng was like a sharp sword half an inch out of its sheath. Although restrained, it had already revealed a cold edge, and his aura was even deeper and more majestic, far exceeding the ordinary fifteen-mile realm.

Seeing that his two cousins ​​were so promising, Li Mingguang's eyes showed a look of relief:
"I came back to watch you fight for the real dragon this time. Your eldest sister and I will not participate. In terms of qualifications, we are not as good as you. In the future, we will rely on you."

Li Qianfeng nodded slightly: "Don't worry, cousin."

Li Hao glanced at the other person and thought that this cousin's personality was somewhat similar to that of his aunt.

Putting aside his talent, Li Hao felt that his natural bearing as an elder brother made him suitable to be the head of the family.

"However, you may fight for it, but don't make enemies or hold a grudge against it."

Beside him, cousin Li Sibei gave instructions.

She and her brother took off their armor and changed into brocade clothes, but she had been fighting in the army for many years, so her posture was straight and her eyebrows looked more heroic than those of ordinary women.

"That's what my cousin said."

Li Hao smiled and nodded.

Li Qianfeng nodded, his expression calm.

Seeing the two people express such an attitude, Li Sibei smiled slightly, looked over the two of them, nodded slightly to Li Wushuang and others to say hello. At the moment, it was not convenient to say much outside the hall, so he did not reminisce about the past one by one.

Not long after, the fathers in the hall paid their respects to grandma and called Li Hao and other three generations of the Li family in.

Led by Li Mingguang, everyone followed. After entering the hall, they saw grandmother Chen Hefang sitting at the top of the hall, with the rest of the fathers and the ladies from each courtyard sitting on both sides. The rest of the concubines stood obediently behind the ladies from each courtyard.

Li Mingguang was a tall and broad man, and he knelt down as soon as he entered the hall.

The others followed suit and all knelt down in worship.

"Everyone get up." Chen Hefang said with a smile.

Everyone stood up. Li Hao looked up at his dear grandmother. Her hair was snow-white and neatly combed like silver threads. She looked old. Her skin had wrinkles, but no age spots. Her complexion was ruddy and she looked like a very clean old lady.

Although she is old, one can still tell that she was a very beautiful woman when she was young. Although the beauty is old, her bones are still beautiful.

While Li Hao was looking around, Chen Hefang was also looking at these grandchildren.

She was most familiar with Li Mingguang, having held him in her arms when he was a child, and he often came to Qinglian Courtyard to play with Jun Ye.

However, since the eldest and the third brother died in battle one after another, followed by the deaths of the ninth and sixth brothers, her hair turned white overnight, and she handed over all the affairs of the mansion to the eldest daughter-in-law, He Jianlan.

She went to Wangyou Mountain to eat vegetarian food and pray, hoping that Xiaojiu's heroic spirit would return soon.

When thinking of Xiaoliu and Xiaojiu, Chen Hefang's eyes became more sad.

Over the years, I have dreamed of them running towards me countless times at night, as excited as they were when I was a child, full of vigor and vitality, calling out "Mom, Mom"...

Those two children have suffered so much, one is an only son and the other is not yet married.

He practiced hard since he was young, and was buried in the frontier before he could even see the prosperity of the world.

"Mingguang, come here and let grandma take a look at you."

Chen Hefang suppressed his emotions without showing them at all, and said with a smile.

Li Mingguang looked at the grandmother's head full of white hair, his eyes filled with heartache. He walked forward and bent his spine, which had been straight from her work outside.

"Don't be greedy and reckless at the border. My Li family is already full of merit and glory."

Chen Hefang gently stroked her eldest grandson's shoulder and said softly, "Grandma only hopes that you can all live well." After saying this, many ladies had tears in their eyes.

Jiang Xian'er, who was sitting at the last seat, had moist eyes and turned her head slightly.

These young men are still here, but how many of those young men from back then have returned?

Those high-spirited young men are the fathers of today's children and also their husbands.

Li Mingguang's heart trembled, and he nodded vigorously: "Grandson will remember this."

Chen Hefang's eyes were gentle, and he called Li Sibei over and looked carefully at the little girl who was once a girl. Now she has become a heroic girl. It is said that daughters look like their fathers, and her features are somewhat similar to those of the eldest son Li Xingbei.

The more Chen Hefang looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Afterwards, she looked at her other grandchildren. As her eyes swept across them, she saw those tender faces that were already beginning to show signs of youthful heroism.

Although it was the first time we met, I could see many familiar figures in it.

"Who is Hao'er?"

Chen Hefang said softly.

Li Hao was slightly startled, and took a small step forward: "Yes, grandson, meet grandma."

Chen Hefang looked her up and down, waved her hand gently, and said with a smile: "Come here and let grandma see it."

Under the gaze of the whole audience, Li Hao obediently stepped forward and came in front of Chen Hefang.

Chen Hefang looked at Li Hao carefully, then sighed and said, "He really looks like your mother!"

Li Hao's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"It's our first meeting, so I don't have anything to give you. But I heard you like using swords, so I'll give you one."

As Chen Hefang spoke, he called the servant beside him and brought over a sword case.

Seeing the appearance of the sword box, Li Tiangang couldn't help but stand up and said, "Mother, this, this was my ninth brother's..."

Jiang Xian'er also stared slightly.

"Yes, it's the sword your ninth brother once used, Eternal Night!"

Chen Hefang stroked the sword case with his palm, looked at Li Hao with loving eyes, and said: "This sword is one of the ten famous swords in the world. I heard that you also use swords, so I gave it to you. Don't let this famous sword be covered in dust."

Li Hao's heart was shocked. Among the ten most famous swords in the world, this sword could kill a big monster in the Four Stages Realm. It was extremely sharp.

Moreover, this sword possesses extremely special power, but it requires reaching a corresponding level before it can be exerted.

At present, in his hands, it can only kill souls and exorcise evil spirits, and it is also very sharp.

But enough.

"Thank you, grandma." Li Hao took it and said softly.

Although he spoke lightly, Chen Hefang could hear the seriousness in the child's words and couldn't help but smile.

Everyone else was silent. The sword had been sealed for many years, but now it was handed over to Li Hao, which showed how much the mother loved this grandson whom she met for the first time.

However, it was probably because Chen Hefang saw the shadow of Li Junye in Li Hao.

They are all so dazzling and bright.

In the crowd, Li Qianfeng's eyes darkened for a moment and he said nothing.

Liu Yuerong had a smile on her face, but it seemed a little forced. However, at this moment everyone's eyes were on Li Hao and the black sword box, and no one paid attention to her.

After handing the sword box to Li Hao, Chen Hefang called Li Qianfeng to his side.

She said softly, "I heard that you were practicing in Wuliang Mountain. I have three precious Buddhist scriptures here, so I'll give them to you."

Li Qianfeng's expression looked a little unnatural.

Give the famous sword to Li Hao and give the Buddhist scriptures to yourself?
But he didn't dare to show it, and still bowed his head and said, "Thank you, grandma."

Chen Hefang smiled and said, "There is a top Buddhist skill in this Buddhist scripture, the Great Compassion Hand. If you can master it, not only will it be powerful in itself, but the improvement of this palm technique will also be helpful for your future sword practice."

Li Qianfeng was stunned and couldn't help showing joy: "Thank you, grandma!"

Chen Hefang waved his hand and asked him and Li Hao to step aside. Then he called over the other grandchildren and gave them some gifts one after another. Although there were differences in these gifts, they were not big.

After the meeting was over, everyone left Qinglian Courtyard.

However, Chen Hefang stopped He Jianlan and several other ladies, as if he wanted to inquire about the situation in the mansion over the years. At the same time, he asked Liu Yuerong to notify the Bodhisattva of the Four Realms who came down from Wuliang Mountain and lived in the mansion to come and meet him.

……

……

Time flies.

After the old lady came out of the mountain, Qingzhou City became more and more lively.

Soon, the day for the true dragon to make the final decision arrived.

Outside the gate of the Divine General's Mansion, the streets were crowded with a large number of horse-drawn carriages, all of which were high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Many civil officials and military generals came from all over the 19 states to offer congratulations.

Such a grand event happened once more than ten years ago, and it is just as lively now.

The threshold of the God General’s Mansion was about to be broken.

Relatives of the Liu family arrived one after another.

In other states, the Liu family is also a large local family. In recent years, since Liu Yuerong married into the General's Mansion, the Liu family naturally took advantage of the Li family and developed more rapidly, and their official positions in the court were also promoted.

Most of the Liu family members are civil servants, and several of their ancestors were top scholars and served as officials in the court.

In addition to the many civil and military officials of the Liu family, other earls and marquises also came to visit to support Li Qianfeng and show off his connections.

In addition, people from the other four generals’ palaces also came, but they were just ordinary visitors and did not take sides with anyone. It seemed that they just came to see the strength of the Li family’s true dragon.

There was constant noise outside the courtyard.

In the yard, Li Hao moved a grandpa chair and basked in the sun comfortably.

Not long after, Bian Ruxue ran back to the yard, followed by a series of footsteps.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the poetry collection that was hanging on his face to block the sunlight, tilted his head to look, and saw a familiar face.

His hair and beard were all white, his bones were as strong as swords, and the one walking in front behind Bian Ruxue was actually the sword saint, Jian Wudao.
