Fox Demon: Starts with Lu Zu template

The head of the Li family took the baby and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

However, before he could be happy for long, the midwife suddenly exclaimed: "Wait, there seems to be another one!"

Sure enough, a moment later, the Li family's second child was born safely.

The head of the Li family was overjoyed. He held the two children in his arms and said excitedly, "Double happiness! God bless our Li family!"

Time flies and three years have passed.

Li Chungang was already three years old. At this moment, he was standing in the yard of the Li family, holding a wooden sword and practicing sword skills seriously.

Despite his young stature, his swordsmanship is extremely sophisticated, with each move and each style containing profound sword intent.

Although he turned into a baby, his memory and swordsmanship did not disappear.

It's just a matter of practicing again.

So when he was able to walk normally, Li Chungang began to practice swordsmanship.

The Li family he belongs to is the famous Taoyuan Li family in the Taoist Alliance.

However, since the Taoyuan Li family is a family of weapon refiners, the head of the Li family, Li Chungang's father, is very opposed to Li Chungang practicing swordsmanship.

"Brother, let's go play together!" A childish voice came from outside the yard.

Li Chungang looked up and saw that it was his twin brother Li Ruojin.

That’s right, the other party is the father of Li Zizai and Li Quzhuo from the masked group in the original novel.

In other words, Li Chungang is now the grandfather of Dongfang Yuechu and the father of the Mask Group and others.

Li Ruojin is lively and active, which is completely different from Li Chungang's personality.

Li Chungang shook his head and said calmly, "Go and have fun by yourself. I want to practice swordplay."

Seeing this, Li Ruojin did not force him and simply sat aside, watching Li Chungang practice sword with great interest.

Although he was young, he knew that his brother was different.

Li Chungang's swordsmanship is not only sharp, but also has an indescribable charm.

Every time Li Ruojin watched the other person practice sword, he would be fascinated by it.

"Brother, your swordsmanship is so powerful!" Li Ruojin couldn't help but admire.

Li Chungang smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Of course he is powerful. In his previous life, your brother was the best swordsman in the world. Looking at the swordsmanship from ancient times to the present, no one can be your brother's opponent.

However, Li Chungang could only think about this in his heart and naturally could not say it out loud.

Chapter 29: Only the sword can defeat the enemy

As night fell, the Li family mansion was shrouded in silence.

Li Chungang sat in his own courtyard, holding a wooden sword in his hand, gazing at the starry sky in the distance.

His heart is filled with dedication to kendo. Although he is only three years old, his eyes are as deep as a swordsman who has experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Just then, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the yard.

Li Chungang raised his head and saw his father Li Changyuan walking slowly towards him.

There was a hint of worry on his face and he looked at his son with complicated eyes.

"Chun Gang, are you still practicing sword so late?" Li Changyuan walked to Li Chun Gang with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Li Chungang nodded and said calmly, "Father, I want to practice for a while longer."

Li Changyuan sighed and sat on the stone bench next to Li Chungang.

He was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Chun Gang, you are still young, and there are some things you may not understand.

Our Li family has been proud of refining weapons for generations, and the art of refining weapons is the foundation of our family.

As the eldest son of the Li family and the future head of the family, you must master the art of refining weapons."

Li Chungang raised his head and looked at his father with a firm gaze: "Father, I know that refining weapons is very important to our Li family, but I prefer swordsmanship.

I want to be a swordsman, not a weaponsmith."

Li Changyuan frowned slightly, and said sternly, "Kendo? Do you know how difficult the path of Kendo is?

In today's world of swordsmanship, the Wudang sect has been secluded from the world, the Wang Quan family is the leader, and the Black Sword Zhang family follows closely behind.

Even if you try harder, what can you do? Can you still surpass these sword families?"

When Li Chungang heard the three words "Wudang Sect", his heart was suddenly shocked.

There is no such thing as Wudang Sect in the original novel.

However, Li Chungang immediately thought of a person, Zhang Sanfeng.

He couldn't help but ask, "Father, when did the Wudang Sect disappear from the world? Why have I never heard of this sect?"

Li Changyuan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect his son to suddenly ask about the Wudang Sect.

He pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Wudang Sect was founded five hundred years ago by Sanfeng Zhenren, a disciple of Lü Zu. It was once the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

However, decades ago, the Wudang Sect suddenly closed its doors and went into seclusion, no longer interfering in the affairs of the martial arts world.

The world of swordsmanship is now dominated by the Wang Quan family and the Black Sword Zhang family."

Li Chungang thought to himself, Zhang Sanfeng actually founded the Wudang Sect in this world, is this God's will?

Seeing his son's silence, Li Changyuan thought he was shaken by his words, so he continued, "Chun Gang, although the art of refining weapons is unpopular, it is the foundation of our Li family.

If you concentrate on refining weapons, you will definitely become the best weapon refiner in the world in the future, and even surpass our Li family's ancestors.

But if you insist on practicing swordsmanship, I'm afraid you will never be able to surpass those sword families in your lifetime."

Li Chungang raised his head and looked at his father firmly: "Father, I understand your painstaking efforts.

But kendo is my choice, and I won't give up. Even if the road ahead is difficult, I'm willing to give it a try."

Li Changyuan's expression gradually darkened, and his tone was filled with anger: "You are young and ignorant, so it's fine. But you must know that the path of kendo is not as simple as you think.

"Lü Zu has already reached the pinnacle of the sword path. No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than Lü Zu? If you practice the weapon path, you will be the next world leader in the weapon path!"

But Li Chungang smiled slightly, his tone calm but with unquestionable determination: "If you give up sword training just because of this, how can you talk about reaching the top?

Father, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I won't change my mind."

Li Changyuan's face turned livid at his son's words. He stood up abruptly and shouted angrily, "Rebellious son... you...! Fine! Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!

From today on, you stay in the yard and reflect on yourself. When you figure it out, come out and see me again!"

After saying that, Li Changyuan turned away, leaving Li Chungang standing alone in the yard.

Li Chungang looked at his father's departing back without much emotion in his heart.

He knew that his father had his own difficulties, but he knew even more clearly that kendo was his true destiny.

---

In the following days, Li Chungang was confined to his own courtyard by his father.

Li Changyuan hoped that this method would make his son change his mind, give up swordsmanship, and instead learn the art of refining weapons.

However, Li Chungang did not feel frustrated by this. Instead, he regarded this period of time as an opportunity to practice.

Every morning, Li Chungang would get up early and practice swordsmanship in the yard with a wooden sword.

Although his swordsmanship is simple, it contains profound sword intent.

Every move and every form seems to resonate with heaven and earth, carrying an indescribable charm.

Li Ruojin would occasionally sneak over to watch her brother practice swordplay.

Every time he saw Li Chungang practicing sword, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Brother, it's a pleasure to watch you practice sword every time."

Sure enough, my younger brother is my little fan.

Li Chungang smiled slightly and patted his brother's head: "Ruojin, how are Dad and Mom doing recently?"

Hearing this, Li Ruojin shook his head: "Mom has been trying to persuade Dad for a while, but Dad has really made up his mind this time. If you don't admit your mistake, I'm afraid I really won't let you go."

But Li Chungang didn't care about all that. He just wanted to put him in solitary confinement.

I can also use this opportunity to concentrate on my cultivation.

---

A month later, Li Changyuan came to Li Chungang's courtyard again.

He saw his son still practicing sword, and felt angry and helpless.

He walked up to Li Chungang and said in a deep voice, "Rebellious son, how have you reflected on your actions? Are you willing to give up the way of the sword and concentrate on learning the art of refining weapons?"

Li Chungang put away the wooden sword and looked at his father with a firm gaze: "Father, I have thought it through clearly. Kendo is my choice, and I will not give up."

Li Changyuan's face darkened instantly, and his tone was filled with disappointment: "Rebellious son, you must remember your identity. You are the eldest son of the Taoyuan Li family, the eldest son of me, Li Changyuan, and the future heir to the Li family.

As a member of the Li family, your future is to cultivate the art of weapon refining and then lead the Li family to greater heights."

But Li Chungang seemed not to hear it and just looked at the wooden sword in his hand quietly.

Although he didn't say anything, Li Chungang's answer was already obvious.

"You...you are so stubborn! If that's the case, then just stay here! Come out when you figure it out!"

After saying that, Li Changyuan turned away again.

In the days that followed, Li Chungang and his father Li Changyuan seemed to be sulking with each other, and neither of them gave in.

Of course, this is not just a question of whether to submit or not.

As the head of the Taoyuan Li family, Li Changyuan shoulders the family's rise and fall, honor and disgrace, while Li Chungang is his son and the destined future heir of the Li family.

Chapter 30 Leaving

In this way, time passed quietly until Li Chungang was twelve years old.

That’s right, Li Chungang was put in solitary confinement for almost eight years.

During these eight years, he never left the Li family. Every day, he practiced sword skills and read books. His life was monotonous and boring.

During the eight years, Li Chungang also took this opportunity to comprehend and master the moves such as Two Sleeves Green Snake and One Sword Immortal Kneeling, and his swordsmanship has reached an extremely high level.

The system even rewarded Li Chungang with a Trojan Bull.

This sword is exactly Li Chungang's exclusive sword in the original novel.

I, Li Chungang, am the only swordsman in the world, and the only magic sword in the world is the Wooden Horse and Ox.

With the Trojan Horse and the Ox in his hands, Li Chungang could leave the Taoyuan Li family at any time if he wanted to.

However, he felt that now was not the time.

Quietly stroking the wooden horse and ox in my hand, I feel the spirituality of this magical weapon.

With Li Chungang's current level of swordsmanship, every sword in his hand is spiritual.

He could feel the majestic sword intent contained in the Trojan Horse Ox, as if the sword had already been connected with his mind.

Just then, Li Ruojin ran in.

As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly pulled Li Chungang out.

Li Chungang was about to ask about the situation with confusion, but Li Ruojin interrupted him directly: "Dad has gone out for something, brother, you leave through the back door immediately."

After saying that, he took out the luggage that he had already packed for Li Chungang and stuffed it all at once.

"While Dad is away, brother, you should leave the Li family now and run as far away as you can."

Li Chungang didn't expect that his younger brother actually wanted him to escape from the Li family.

He was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Ruojin, you..."

Li Ruojin didn't wait for him to finish, and said anxiously: "Brother, don't say anymore, your talent is the most powerful I have ever seen, I believe that you can make your own way.
