Chapter 17 Yes and No
On the first day of the exiled immortal's descent, everyone in the village lived in a haze, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Zheng Qiu was still swinging the hammer. At this time, Li Sihu's other boxing glove had been made. The man with a silly smile on his face gently stroked it as if he had seen a peerless beauty.
A heart-protecting mirror slowly took shape in front of Zheng Qiu. The white jade civet cat nestled beside the forging furnace, feeling the spiritual power fluctuations brought by the "Red Snake Heart Sutra".
With each swing of the hammer, waves of spiritual energy erupted, and Zheng Qiu was embedded in this courtyard like a person in a painting. Every swing of the hammer not only brought spiritual power, but also Zheng Qiu's understanding of the technique.
The golden-eyed red tiger was gnawing on a rabbit it had caught from somewhere beside Zheng Qiu, and then it kept looking towards the village entrance, as if there was someone there.
Zheng Qiu Zhengwu had already made a heart-protecting mirror and then hung it neatly on Li Sihu's body.
"Si Hu, I can only do this much for you now. This heart-protecting mirror should also be a magic weapon. You can use it first. I will make it for you when we have good materials."
Sihu would smile foolishly now, but suddenly he thought of what his second brother said last night and felt uncomfortable. Is it really true that it has always been difficult to be both filial and righteous?
"Sihu, why don't you speak?" Zheng Qiu couldn't help but ask as he looked at Li Sihu whose face was gradually becoming ugly.
"Junior uncle-master, is this land important to your family?" Li Sihu thought for a moment and then asked the question in his mind.
Zheng Qiu then put down the materials in his hand and looked up at Li Sihu. At this moment, Li Sihu's eyes suddenly became a little flustered, even a little at a loss: "Sihu, let me ask you, is it not possible for your family to have that land?"
Li Sihu was stunned: "But my grandfather said that place..."
Zheng Qiu quickly stretched out his hand to interrupt, "Si Hu, don't listen to what they say first. Look at what they do. Didn't your family live well without those ten acres of land before? Why do you have to have this land now? And didn't this land originally belong to my family? Isn't it because I went to the sect and I don't know when I will come back, so they bully my family for not having a man? I believe that your family didn't have this idea at the beginning, and it was instigated by someone. I fight with you just to tell them that I am not easy to bully."
Zheng Qiu looked at Li Sihu who looked embarrassed and continued, "Sihu, if we really have a conflict because of this, will you take your family away from here? Or take them directly to the path of cultivation, can you do it? Even if everything is possible, even if they are all talented, but with such trouble-making ability, can you take care of them for a lifetime? You have a family, your family doesn't want to suffer, but this land will belong to my family in the end. I rented it to your family just to let my mother have some support in the village. I thought that even if I don't come back, she won't be bullied. You tell your grandfather that if he doesn't want to rent it, forget it. Without your family, there will be others who want to rent it. Even if it's abandoned, my mother won't starve. You know the treatment our sect gives us! I have dozens of kilograms of gold alone. If I wasn't afraid that my mother would not be used to leaving her hometown, I really wouldn't look down on your family's 10% rent."
Li Sihu seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Let's become sworn brothers!"
Zheng Qiu burst out laughing: "We have the saying of sworn brotherhood here. Your family will take care of my mother when the time comes. I know all this, but what about the sect? The mortal world and karma, will you really let your master call you uncle?"
Seeing Li Sihu's embarrassment, Zheng Qiu continued, "In fact, there is no need to be like this. You are kind by nature and you will listen to whatever your second brother says, but you are you! You have to have your own ideas and your own moral standards. The magic weapon of the heart-protecting mirror I made for you is worth a thousand acres of fertile land. But why do I keep arguing with your family about these dozen acres of land? Sometimes you can't retreat. If I leave, what if my mother is bullied again? Do you really want me to kill all the elders in this village? There is no need."
Li Sihu seemed to have grasped something from Zheng Qiu's words: "Right! I have to make my own judgment. Right is right and wrong is wrong! They are wrong and I can't let them make the same mistake again!"
Li Sihu said as he flew back to his home. Just as Golden Eyed Red Tiger was about to follow him, Zheng Qiu called out to him, "Master Tiger! Don't go! He needs to grow up! Give him some space. I believe he can take that step."
Golden Eyed Red Tiger shook his head: "I'm not afraid that he can't tell good from evil, I'm afraid that his second brother will hit him, and he doesn't know how to hide. Didn't you see how his second brother treated him last night? Even Shen Yu didn't scold him so severely. If Shen Yu was here, he would definitely be heartbroken."
Zheng Qiu also shook his head: "He has a kind nature, and looks like a good person. He is honest and simple, which always makes people like him. But if he continues like this, he will only become someone's vassal, which will do more harm than good to his cultivation. I think these words of mine are enough to push him to a peak, a peak that will make him independent!"
In the afternoon, Li Erhu's voice spread throughout the village: "Do you want to turn your elbow outward?"
Li Sihu showed no sign of weakness: "That was not originally ours! We shouldn't covet what is not ours!"
"I beat you to death!"
"I don't fight back because you are my second brother! Not because you are so powerful!" Li Sihu seemed to have come to his senses and kept retorting to Li Erhu.
The sound of wooden sticks breaking continued to be heard from the Li family's courtyard, but the people around did not dare to go in to dissuade them, nor did they want to! Because what does it have to do with them? It's not their own child who was beaten.
Suddenly, Golden Eyed Red Tiger looked towards the entrance of the village. A group of people dressed as yamen runners slowly walked into the village and struck the gong: "Dang~Dangdang~"
Most of the villagers were trustworthy. When they heard the gong, they hurried to the entrance of the village. At this time, Zheng Qiu turned and looked at the white jade spirit cat: "Fairy! Please protect my mother! I think something is wrong!"
The white jade civet cat nodded lazily, which was considered as its agreement.
Zheng Qiu and Qiu Yue also came to the village entrance together. At this time, Li Sihu also came, and with him was Li Erhu, whose wrist was dislocated.
Zheng Qiu nodded secretly. Although filial piety is important, it is more important to have a heart that can distinguish right from wrong.
The yamen runner shouted at the entrance of the village. The voice contained bursts of spiritual energy. It was obvious that he was also a cultivator. As for his realm, Zheng Qiu didn't know: "Silence! I came to your village today to inform you of something! From now on, our country's tax will be changed to 80% of 10! Girls in the village who are 14 years old and above will participate in the selection of concubines! Do you understand?"
When the villagers heard the words "ten into eight", they immediately became confused. Then the village chief Zhang Huairen stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Hello, sir! Are we going to fight?"
