The Great Wei Music Bureau

Chapter 67 Returning Home (Part )

Last time, I said that Li Yi had arranged almost everything for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet before leaving, and also tricked Nangong Xue into going to Qingzhou with him. Finally, the day of departure came. What kind of story will happen on the way back to Qing'an City? Let's read on. By the way, I have written so many chapters. Please help to increase the popularity and collect more chapters, so that Feng Lin will have the motivation to continue writing. Thank you all!

In the big tent that morning, Shiyu reluctantly helped Li Yi to tidy up his clothes. They hadn't had enough of their sweet world together, but Li Yi wanted to take back a sister who was competing for his favor. He must have felt uncomfortable. But there was nothing she could do. Who told her to be greedy for such a stinky man? You said he didn't know anything, but in terms of poetry and songs, he was already the best in Wei. You said he knew everything, but he always wanted to be a hands-off boss, which only made her suffer and had to work hard for this man.

Li Yi saw that Shiyu was unhappy, and he put his arm around her waist and said with a smile: "My lady, don't be sad. Your husband will go and come back quickly, and will never delay! I can't bear to let you work alone."

Shi Yu rolled her eyes at Li Yi and said, "Can't bear to leave? Then why don't you just do it! Can't you wait until you're done with your work before picking up your old lover?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that Bailing really has to sing that song? This is the highlight of the banquet!"

Shi Yu said unhappily, "When you bring her back, if you can't sing that song well, I'll show you how I'll punish you!"

Li Yi kissed Shi Yu's little face and said, "When has your husband ever let you down? Don't worry! When I come back, I will definitely let you know what it means to sing a song that only exists in heaven and is rarely heard in the world!"

The faint purple air gathered, and Li Yi condensed it into a bead emitting purple light and handed it to Shiyu. Shiyu snuggled in Li Yi's arms, hugged him tightly and said, "My husband, please don't use these things to coax me. I don't want you to leave. I can't bear to leave you."

Li Yi took a look at the red beans in the porridge, and said in a loud voice: "Red beans grow in the south, and a few branches sprout in spring. I hope you can pick more, as this is the most nostalgic thing." The purple air reappeared, Li Yi took off Shiyu's hairpin, gathered the purple air into the pearls on it, and put it on her again.

"My husband is writing poems to deceive people again."

Li Yi looked at Shiyu and asked, "Do you have a pair of scissors?" Xing'er found a pair of scissors and handed them to Li Yi. The latter cut off a lock of hair from Shiyu's head, put it in a sachet and carried it with him. Seeing that Shiyu was slightly happy, Li Yi cut off a lock of his own hair and gave it to Shiyu.

Shiyu took out a red cloth bag and put her hair away. Then she stood up, wiped her eyes, and said, "Li Lang, Li Lang, you have so many ways to coax people! I wonder how many women will be deceived by you!"

Li Yi thought: I saw this on TV and learned it in books. I am just a freeloader! I, Li Yi, will definitely continue to freeloader to the end! He said, "I will be worried if I don't coax you well. You must eat and drink well during my absence. Don't lose weight! When I come back, I will check your body!"

Li Yi focused his gaze on the area below Shiyu's neck and above her waist. Shiyu blushed immediately, turned around and said coquettishly, "You are so unruly!"

"I want to get straight too, but I can't get straight when you're next to me! I can only get hard when you're next to me..."

Shi Yu quickly covered her ears and said, "Alright, alright, go now! I won't see you off! I'm afraid I can't stand it anymore and will stop you! I won't let you go!" Li Yi was finally able to get away...

The Dugu brothers had already arrived outside the martial arts arena. Dugu Long was riding on a sturdy black horse, looking very heroic, while Dugu Yu looked like an unlearned dandy sitting in a carriage. The contrast between the two was obvious to all. Li Yi stepped forward to salute, and Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Xiuyuan, how did you trick Miss Shiyu into taking on so many things, and then go out to have fun? I am sincerely seeking advice, please don't lie to me!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "I gave her a love poem."

Dugu Yu shook his head and sighed, "Alas! I don't have this ability. If I had your poetic talent, I would definitely sleep with all the courtesans in the capital first!"

Dugu Long laughed and said, "With your small body, I'm afraid you're willing but not strong enough! You're so shameless to say that you're sleeping all over!"

Dugu Yu said unhappily, "Brother, you are such a rude man! How can you ruin my show in front of Xiu Yuan!"

Li Yi laughed loudly and then said, "Brother Yu, Brother Long is just telling the truth, it's not sabotage! By the way, where's Brother Qi?"

Dugu Yu whispered, "Brother Qi is waiting for you on the official road with Sister Xue. I'm afraid Shiyu won't let you go if she sees Sister Xue. I'm very thoughtful, don't I?"

Li Yizheng bowed to Dugu Yu and said, "Brother Yu, you are so thoughtful! Xiuyuan is very grateful!"

In this way, the group set off, met up with Nangong siblings on the official road, and headed for Qing'an City together. Dugu brothers, Nangong siblings, plus Li Yi, three guards, three drivers, and three followers. In addition, Nangong Xue also brought two maids, a total of three carriages, more than ten horses, this team of people is not small, but this is normal, the children of the noble families pay more or less attention to the pomp when traveling, this is deliberately bringing fewer people out to save trouble, but then again, this team of people, in terms of literature, martial arts, and beauty, can walk sideways in the Wei Dynasty!

At the beginning, the Dugu brothers, Nangong Qi and Li Yi were all riding horses. The four of them walked side by side, Dugu Long in the middle, Dugu Yu on the left, Li Yi on the right, and Nangong Qi on the right of Li Yi. They were chatting all the way.

Dugu Long asked Li Yi, "Brother Xiuyuan, you have obviously improved a lot in your fight with Tang Ying. Whether it is your proficiency in the Vajra Divine Art or your new skills, your current strength is better than that of a beginner fourth-rank warrior. I can see that you held back in the fight with Tang Ying. I wonder how much strength you used at that time?"

Nangong Qi asked: "Is Xiuyuan so powerful now? Can he defeat a fourth-rank warrior?"

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Brother Qi, there may be something wrong with your ears. My elder brother is talking about a martial artist who has just entered the fourth rank!"

Nangong Qi sighed, "What do you want, Brother Yu? Do you want Xiu Yuan to become a master like Brother Long?"

Li Yi said, "I'm not holding back, but I don't want to consume too much energy. I can't let a fight delay my work. If I consume too much energy, I'll have to stay in bed for a few days."

Dugu Long asked: "I don't quite understand the matter of Xiuyuan. Why haven't I heard of other monks using the Vajra Divine Art encountering a situation like yours?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "They are all martial monks. Their bodies have been tempered, and with the blessing of Buddhism, they are essentially not much different from martial arts. I took a shortcut. My body is not strong enough, so I can only use the Vajra Divine Art by consuming more mental energy."

Dugu Long nodded, and then asked: "If you start to strengthen your body now, will this situation change?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it may be difficult. Brother Yu and Brother Qi and I have asked around before. People who have lost their virginity can only practice martial arts up to the seventh level at most. I think even if I'm willing to endure that hardship, it won't be of much help. What's more, like Brother Yu, I don't want to suffer that kind of pain." After saying that, he exchanged glances with Dugu Yu.

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Brother, it's really great that Xiuyuan has reached such a high level of cultivation now. You know, he wanted to learn the Vajra Divine Skill for the golden spear..."

Nangong Qi interrupted quickly, "Brother Yu, don't talk nonsense, Sister Xue is in the carriage behind!"

Dugu Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot about it. I made a mistake."

Dugu Long turned his head to look at the carriage behind him and said with a smile: "When Aunt Yun left Shangjing, Sister Xue was only one or two years old. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Sister Xue is so big now. When I was her age, my cultivation was not as good as hers."

Nangong Qi asked, "Ah? Sister Xue is so powerful? Wasn't Brother Long also at the peak of the fifth rank when he was eighteen?"

Dugu Long explained: "Although they are both at the peak of the fifth rank, there is still a difference. The sword cultivation of the Taoist Tianzong can be understood as combining martial arts with Taoism through swordsmanship. Sister Xue's peak of the fifth rank can be seen as the peak of both martial arts and Taoism, while I am only at martial arts. In comparison, I am indeed inferior."

Li Yi asked curiously, "Both martial arts and Taoism are at the peak of the fifth rank? Then does Miss Nangong also have a body of steel?"

Nangong Qi smiled and said, "Xiu Yuan, you think too much. What Brother Long said can be seen as possible, but it is not true. As far as I know, the fifth level of Taoism can only be achieved when the soul is strong to a certain extent. Let's put it this way, as long as the original spirit is not destroyed, even if the physical body is damaged, it can be forcibly repaired by consuming the original spirit. Of course, if the head is cut off or cut in half, I am afraid that he will not survive."

Dugu Long nodded and said, "That's true. But when it comes to beheading, even if it's me, I'll die if I'm beheaded or cut in half. I'll just be able to hold on for a little longer. Only when you reach the third level of martial arts can you have an immortal body. You can recover from any injury that doesn't shatter your body."

Li Yi sighed: "A martial arts master of the third rank isn't even afraid of being beheaded?"

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Xiuyuan, the three levels of each major system are all extraordinary, each with its own characteristics. A warrior is thick-skinned and hard-bodied, so it's hard for him to die."

Dugu Long interrupted his brother's laughter and said, "Your understanding is too one-sided. Although the third level of martial arts is called the immortal body, it is not just reflected in the literal meaning. I once asked my uncle how to be promoted to the third level of martial arts. My uncle said that it all depends on practice and destiny, and neither is indispensable.

Cultivation refers to the practice of martial arts to the peak of the fourth level, which is only one step away from breaking through. As for destiny, it all depends on chance. There are also differences in destiny. My uncle told me that he could not be promoted to the second level in his lifetime because his destiny was not enough. So he advised me not to be promoted to the third level if I did not encounter an excellent destiny, because once promoted, there would be no way back. "

Li Yi asked in surprise: "You have already been promoted to the third-grade extraordinary realm, what else do you need to retreat?"

Dugu Long said, "Brother Xiuyuan, you don't know that once you enter the Transcendent Realm, your behavior will be monitored by the laws of heaven and earth. This is very troublesome. First of all, people in the Transcendent Realm cannot kill ordinary people at will. If they violate this rule, they will be punished by heaven. Secondly, if a person in the third-grade Transcendent Realm cannot be promoted, his life span will be limited. So far, no third-grade Transcendent Realm master has lived for more than fifty years without being promoted."

Dugu Yu interrupted, "Then doesn't the uncle have much time left?"

Dugu Long nodded and said, "My uncle told me that he only has ten years left at most."

Dugu Yu asked again: "What if my uncle dies and my elder brother hasn't found his destiny yet?"

Dugu Long smiled and said, "It's okay. When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers and when the water comes, we will block it with earth. There will be a way out when the time comes." Although Li Yi and Nangong Qi heard that the Dugu brothers were hiding something, they didn't dare to ask. After all, it was the Dugu family's private matter and outsiders couldn't interfere.

They chatted for a while, and Dugu Yu asked, "Brother Qi, why is Sister Xue staying in the car like this? Why doesn't she come out to get some fresh air?"

Dugu Long smiled and said, "Sister Xue practices the Merciless Sword. She has no other thoughts except the sword heart. What can she talk to you about?"

Dugu Yu argued: "Sister Xue also likes poetry and songs, why don't you come out and talk about poetry!"

Dugu Long was about to speak, but was stopped by Dugu Yu, "Hey, big brother, I know you want to say that I don't know how to write poetry, but I did get a new poem recently, and I think it's very good. Can you ask Sister Xue to come out and appreciate it?"

Li Yi asked curiously, "Oh? Brother Yu has such a leisurely mood and has even created some good works? Xiu Yuan really wants to hear them."

Nangong Qi smiled and said, “Wait, wait, I’ll go ask Sister Xue.”

Nangong Qi rode slowly to the side of his sister's carriage and asked, "Sister Xue, you've been sitting in the carriage for a long time. Are you tired? Xiuyuan wants to discuss poetry with Brother Yu. Do you want to come out and listen?"
