The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 103: The Sun and Moon Return, the Dead Speak

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, the lake looks like water, silver scales break the waves, and white frost condenses on the branches.

The old man was bleeding profusely and was dying, but he had a carefree smile on his face.

There is no other reason, that man is back, the prime minister in the mountains who controls everything, the immortal on earth is back.

Under the moonlight, the familiar Sword of the Heavenly Sword returned to the master's side, its smooth blade reflecting the bright moon.

The true face is revealed when the clouds are parted; the crane stands tall without remembering its age.

The moon is still cold, and I am an immortal in the cave.

Liang Yue flicked the sword lightly, and the Sword returned to the Mountain Ghost Jade Pendant.

First, he fed Li Hu the Da Huan Dan, Zhi Xue Dan, and Xiao Huan Dan. After sixty years, the power of the golden elixir had not been lost much.

Li Hu woke up slowly and saw a young man standing in front of him, who was two or three years older than him.

Liang Yue walked towards his disciple Li Hongwen. The sixteen-year-old boy and the eighty-four-year-old disciple formed a sharp contrast.

"Master, have you become an immortal?" Li Hongwen asked.

Hearing his great-grandfather's words, Li Hu was in disbelief. Is this the god that his great-grandfather was talking about?

"So much nonsense, shut up."

Liang Yue handed Li Hongwen five pills, including the Great Rejuvenating Pill, the Golden Ginseng Pill, the Hemostatic Pill, the Small Rejuvenating Pill, and the Detoxification Pill, and then used his true Qi to help him take them.

After taking five pills one by one, Li Hongwen's complexion became rosy and the wound on his stomach healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Hu was so frightened that he dared not breathe, fearing that his actions would disturb his great-grandfather's recovery.

Liang Zhu turned into butterflies and ascended to heaven. The legend turned out to be true!

Li Hongwen gradually recovered from his injuries and looked much better.

Liang Yue asked, "How have you been these years?"

Liang Yue was actually very surprised. Before he died, he didn't believe in descendants at all. After a long time, descendants were no different from strangers. It was not the case that the genes passed down by him meant that all people were good.

If there is a prodigal son, all the years of practice will be wasted.

The Wutong Garden Tomb is just a smokescreen to attract other people's attention. It doesn't matter whether future generations dig it or not.

Unexpectedly, Li Hongwen persisted and was even more determined than Liang's descendants.

"It's OK. There were some hiccups, but I managed to make it through." Li Hongwen stood up and waved to Li Hu, "Come and pay your respects to the Grandmaster!"

"Greetings, Grandmaster!" Li Hu knelt down and kowtowed obediently, not daring to be presumptuous.

"This kid is quite clever." Liang Yue said with a smile, then looked at Li Hongwen and said, "I will cure this kid's illness, don't worry."

"Thank you, Immortal Master!!"

Without waiting for Li Hongwen to reply, Li Hu thanked him first.

"Ha ha……"

The two men came to the yard, Mingyue had not left yet, and the blood and corpses in the yard were burned away by the flame of the eternal lamp.

Li Hongwen was filled with emotion. Sixty years ago, he had suspected that his master had supernatural powers. Apart from gods, no one could cure the curse on his clan.

According to ancestral legends, our ancestors had sought help from Bian Que, Hua Tuo, and even famous gods, but all were helpless.

The three of them sat down, and Li Hongwen suddenly thought of something and said, "There are actually a hundred troops outside the fort. I didn't let them in to prevent someone from stealing. This time they couldn't react because the enemy was too strong."

Ordinary thieves and bandits basically don't need to take action themselves. When they approach the fort, they will be dealt with by the masters of the army.

"I understand." Liang Yue nodded to indicate that he knew. He had already discovered the secret sentry outside Liuzhuang before coming in. Although most of the descendants went to Jiankang to seek wealth and honor, they still attached importance to the ancestral tombs in their hometown.

This is not their fault. Future generations have their own way out. Forcing future generations to be pure and free from desires will only make them be accused of being pedantic and stubborn.

The reason why Liang Yue was so pure and simple in those days was that he had close friendships with Liu Yu, Lin Jian, and other high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

But future generations will not be like this. If there is no one in the court, being destroyed is just a matter of words.

"Tell me about what happened over the years."

Li Hongwen looked far-sighted as he recalled the past.

That year, Liu Yilong ascended the throne and a split occurred within Changle.

Tan Daoji took some people away, and the other part, as Liu Yilong rewarded his ministers, went out to seek wealth and honor, forming the current family structure.

The other part followed Jingming's second son Liang Yi to Jiankang.

The eldest son, Liang Ren, traveled around the country and had children very late in life. He stayed in Jiankang in his later years and was a literary figure in the early Song Dynasty, as famous as Xie Lingyun and Bao Zhao.

A few people stayed in Liuzhuang to follow Liang Xin and himself.

"After Senior Brother Jingming died, Wang and others joined forces to attack Liang, searching for the so-called Six Treasures of the Heavenly Master. Hundreds of people attacked Liuzhuang. We fought bloody battles and finally got support. We wiped out the Wang family. From then on, the thieves dared not to attack."

The battle lasted for three days and three nights without sleep.

"Back then, Liu Yilong and Tan Daoji were quite respectful to us."

In order to show that he was not mean and ungrateful, Liu Yilong conferred the title of Prince on Liang Yue as soon as he came to power and vigorously promoted Liang Yi.

It can be said that the Liang family actually officially appeared on the historical stage during the Liu Yilong era.

However, Liang was restrained. She had influence in the court and did not plunder the people. Those who were capable became officials, while those who were not capable stayed at home.

"After that, Tan Daoji went to Lingnan, and we had no more contact. After Tan Daoji died, his son Huchen succeeded him, and then Tan Hua came to power. Our conflict started with Tan Hua."

"By the way, Liang Xin is still alive and is now the Heavenly Master of the Pure Bright Dao. Would you like to go and see him, Master?"

Liang Yue shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when there's a chance."

There is no need to meet future generations. Since I am sure they are living well, I will let it go. My second life self will only be connected to them by blood.

"How will future generations evaluate me?" Liang Yue was very curious about this.

"They say you are the brother of Taizu, the prime minister of the mountains, and the author of Qiminshu. That's all. Only a very few people know the truth about the martial arts master."

"Oh? Is that so?" Liang Yue was a little surprised. These people had bad intentions but did a good thing.

"There was actually a hidden story behind the loss of the two capitals."

The loss of Luoyang and Chang'an was not due to people's stupidity. The aristocratic families made great "contributions" to the loss. They did not want to see the rise of the nobles in the Central Plains. Otherwise, the Jiangzuo nobles would be on the periphery just like the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty before the southward migration.

They originally wanted the imperial court to lose the war, but unfortunately they went too far and resulted in the loss of the two capitals.

At this point, Li Hongwen smiled coldly and said, "They took advantage of the fact that the dead could not speak, and stole your martial arts achievements and state governance strategies, claiming that they were their own creations. They thought that when a person dies, it is like a light going out, but they never expected that you, Master, would come back!"

"Yes, I'm back."

Liang Yue stood up and looked into the distance.

At that time, disciples, followers and outsiders each divided the property; previously, the classics of Changle School were available for reading by everyone, and Liang Yue was happy to see this, after all, it was the deductions from generation to generation that led to the flourishing of martial arts.

Unexpectedly, "private schemes" were once again carried out, and martial arts became the exclusive property of the aristocratic family.

Liang Yue did not blame them for spreading martial arts without authorization, but over the years, he had only been perfecting his own settings, merely adding a layer of [Grandmaster's Realm] above the [Superior Level].

Nowadays, the division of masters is no longer based on the comparison of internal strength. Although martial arts have developed slightly, they are still inseparable from the "cage" planned by Liang Yue, which is not enough to prolong life.

In this case, how can I live to be 120?
The Lingnan Tan family, the Wuxian Xu family, the Wujun Lin family, the royal warriors, the Black Guards...

After listening to the past events, the east was already bright.

The sun rises, the sky breaks through, and golden light shines on the earth.

"It's time to let them know that the dead can speak."

Li Hongwen stepped forward and half-knelt, followed closely by his grandson Li Hu.

"It's all up to the Master!!"

"Please collect some gold and stone herbs for me first. I need to make an elixir."

"Yes!"

After that, Liang Yue stayed in Liuzhuang again.

Penglai Danshi finally welcomed its long-awaited master. Bang!
True fire appears under the cauldron, and the dragon and tiger refine true elixir.

Liang Yue stopped taking action and instead used his mind to control the materials into the cauldron.

The True Fire calcines the elixir for forty-nine times until the golden elixir is produced. This is not the end yet. The True Fire will once again transform the golden elixir into elixir liquid, and the elixir liquid will continue to be purified and sublimated.

The room was filled with purple mist and a strange fragrance.

After the elixir has completed three transformations, the qi will become dragon and tiger.

A translucent golden crystal pill was refined.

"Finally, I have reached the first level of Dan Huan skill." Liang Yue thought to himself.

Liang Yue swallowed a pill, sat cross-legged, and used his internal energy to transform true qi, which circulated throughout his body.

The internal force slowly increases, and the upper limit of true energy gradually rises.

For several months afterwards, Liang Yue lived in seclusion in Liuzhuang to practice cultivation, just like the life he had many years ago.

Lingnan.

This place is the permanent residence of the Tan family. After years of operation, Lingnan has been managed like an iron barrel.

The prefects of Nanhai County, Hepu County, Yulin County, Cangwu County, Jinkang County, Xinning County, Jiaozhi, and Jiuzhen County were all descendants of the Tan family or their followers.

The county seat was Panyu City.

This place is not as prosperous as the Three Wus and is sparsely populated, but it is a quiet and peaceful place.

The pavilions and towers cover a vast area.

This is the Tan clan's land.

On this day, in the clan's ancestral hall, the old man sat in the main seat, with clan members sitting in two rows on the sides.

The old man was very old, with black hair and a blazing gaze, like a sharp sword.

This is Tan Hua, grandson of Tan Daoji, and now the Prince of Nanhai.

He is also the founder of the Soul-Shocking Sword, and has mastered the true meaning of the Soul-Shocking Sword technique, "Huangquan Soul". He once killed twenty-eight Yue Cave Lords in a battle and dominated Lingnan.

"How's the situation at the Liang family?" Tan Hua looked at the clan members.

"No news has been sent from Uncle Tan Er yet, I'm afraid it's not going to be a good thing."

"It seems that Li Hongwen still has some strength left, maybe he has the Six Treasures of the Heavenly Master."

"The Jiankang Liang family has confirmed that they don't have the Six Treasures. It seems that they are really in Li Hongwen's hands. Patriarch, do you want to rescue the second uncle?"

A strong man like an iron tower stood up and said.

"No need. If we go by the South China Sea, the second brother's body will stink. Why should we save him?"

Tan Hua snorted coldly, and then said: "We are still too impatient. Let's explore the periphery first and wait a few more years. Li Hongwen will not live long, and his grandson will not live past the age of 25. The Six Treasures of the Heavenly Master will always be ours."

If you lose your son, you can still have another one, but if your family is destroyed, where will the members go?

After his father Hu Chen died, Tan Hua expelled the pedantic descendants of the first wife and took charge of the Tan family himself.

"The Six Treasures of the Heavenly Master are the key to the family's further advancement."

When Tan Hua was young, he had seen Liang Yue in person. This man was a martial arts expert and was proficient in everything. After his death, his majesty even frightened his grandfather Dao Ji, his father Hu Chen, and even the third emperor Liu Yilong.

The young Tan Hua was deeply impressed by this, feeling awe and admiration, and also fantasized that it would be great if he could be that kind of person.

"Ancestor Liang has passed away, and it is time for me, his descendant, to inherit everything he had." Tan Hua still dares not call him by his name.

This person created the great path of warriors, probably because he had gathered the six treasures of the Heavenly Master.

If the six treasures can be obtained, the Tan family will become the number one family in the world.

Whether it's establishing your own kingdom or conquering the world, everything is possible.

Lingnan has always been a remote place.

The battlefields were in Jiangzuo, Central Plains, and even Guanzhong.

My father and grandfather just want to live in peace in a remote place. It would be fine if they just live in peace in a remote place like this. How is this different from exile?

It is cold in winter and hot in summer, there are miasma and poisonous insects, and we have to deal with barbarians, so we can't live in peace all day long.

What are you talking about atonement? Where is the need for atonement?
Is it a mistake to continue the family line and plan for future generations?

Thinking of this, he looked at the other person and said, "What does the eldest wife say?"

"They don't want to go along with us, and they say they don't want to bring shame to their ancestors."

"Humph, foolish and ignorant." Tan Hua was so angry that he smashed the table with his palm, "Leave Jiaozhi to them and never let them return to the north. Let them fend for themselves."

"Tan Hui, Tan Yuan, the rest of you go to Kuaiji to monitor, and don't alert the enemy. Send a message to the Xu family, and ask them to continue searching for Xiaoyao's descendants."

"Yes!"

He then ordered Tan Hua's eldest son Tan Cheng to take charge of the family affairs.

Tan Hua's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said, "It's time to correct the mistakes of our ancestors."

"All right."

In Qingshan Garden, Liang Yue pierced Li Hu's forehead and purple blood flowed out.

Li Hu woke up, looked around excitedly, and said, "It's all right, it's really all right, thank you gods and ancestors!"

The curse is gone, it's no less than a new life.

The immortal ancestors are like our living parents.

"Grandpa, I'm fine!" Li Hu jumped out of the door and excitedly told his grandfather the news.

"That's good, that's good." Li Hongwen was very relieved.

Finally, we don’t have to wait for the young to die before the old.

Liang Yue went out and said to the grandfather and grandson: "The blood problem has not been cured yet. I will slowly find a solution."

"Li Hu, kneel down."

At this time, Li Hongwen pulled his grandson to kneel down.

"The Li family will always follow the Immortal Master."

"Get up."

Liang Yue waved his hand.

The fate of the Li family and Liang Yue began from this day.

Li Hongwen grabbed Li Hu's ears and said, "Don't do these rogue tricks in the future. Do you understand?"

"It hurts... Great-grandfather, I understand."

"Let him be. The essence of martial arts training is to win. There are no side doors in the world. They are all just means to win."

"Look, even my master recognizes me." Li Hu said proudly.

Seeing that Liang Yue agreed, Li Hongwen was helpless.

"I'm going out for a while, and then I'll settle the score with them."

"Where is the Master going?"

"Lushan, Wulao Peak."

There is the Dayu Secret Realm and the Golden Mask in Wulao Peak. I should be able to refine this mask in this life.

When dealing with warriors, the methods of cultivating immortals are more effective.
