Chapter 14: The Xiao Family's Secret Order
The next day, Guanyang City.
In Canterlot, the sky is slightly bright in the morning.
"Steamed buns, steamed buns, hot steamed buns!3 Wu coins each!"
"Wontons, wontons, fragrant wontons! delicious and cheap!"
"Xiao Er, bring me a bowl of noodles and add an egg!"
"Wait, come soon!"
In the central city, all the shops and stalls are in a hurry, opening or supporting stalls, and every morning there are all kinds of cries of selling, and there is an endless stream of people eating breakfast!
All kinds of people come out to move, strolling, eating, chatting, and watching the excitement on the long cross street, which means that a new busy day is about to begin.......
In the center, the two-storey shop on the left, the decoration is more luxurious than others, and it is also more famous in Guanyang City, and there are 3 words inlaid with gold and some atmosphere in large characters in the store: Siyuan Building.
On a table by the window on the second floor sat an old man with two children of about 10 years old, the old one was 50 years old, and the two younger ones were 13 years old, both wearing white robes.
The chest of the clothes is embroidered with the word "Xiao" with a black spot inlaid with gold edges, as long as you have brought it in Guanyang City, you know that they are the warriors of the Xiao family.
When you see them, you will look at them with admiration and respect, and avoid them more politely and politely.
There were 3 people, and the small one on the left kept looking at the window door from time to time. The old one was talking to the little one on the right.
The little one on the right said: Master, today is the day when the eldest young master comes back, thank you master for taking us to take us to take long eyes! I admire the eldest young master very much, I hope I can become a martial artist like him!
The old man chuckled and said, "Well, you two just came, don't worry. Practice the posture I gave you yesterday, and you'll be fine!"
The little one pouted and said softly, "Master, I only know!"
The other said: "Master, I prefer the second young master, the eldest young master and the second young master are a little more powerful, you tell us about it!"
The old man continued: If you want to talk about these two people, I don't know the specific situation now. Because they were arranged by the head of the family to go to those big martial arts religions in Yuanyang City to learn martial arts when they were 15 years old, they didn't know in the past and now. ”
Speaking of this, he took a sip of tea and continued: However, when the eldest young master left the Xiao family for 15 years, the "Body Martial Arts Tongshu" practiced to the point of the 6th stage of the Great Perfection of the Body Cultivator, and the "Xiongming Jue" cultivated the late stage of the Bronze Body Technique, which is very powerful!
He looked at the two apprentices twice, and saw that their eyes were full of admiration. I couldn't help but continue: The second young master is even more powerful, "The Book of Physical Martial Arts" has been practiced to the point of the 7th stage of the Great Perfection of the Body Exerciser, and "Xiongming Jue" has been practiced to the early stage of the Silver Body Technique!
The two little ones couldn't help but look shocked when they heard this.
The one on the left then said embarrassedly: Master, you old man, now you are in your 50s, and you have also reached the first stage of the Great Perfection of the Body Building Foundation!
After seeing them, Master, I will go to practice and reach the 3rd stage of the Body Cultivator.
Because one of them also echoed: "Well, Master, I want to enter the 3rd stage of the Great Perfection of the Forging Body!"
When the old man saw this, he couldn't help but smile. I can't help but say: these two little ones are always self-righteous, and now they know that they have worked hard!
Suddenly, the little one on the left asked suspiciously: I heard that the Xiao family still has a waste fourth young master, how is it?
The old man hurriedly scolded it and said, "Don't say it loudly, Fourth Young Master, this is taboo in the Xiao family!"
Then he asked them to put their heads over and said, "I don't know, I don't know." I heard someone say that the fourth young master was generally locked up on the 6th floor of the Wudou Pavilion by the head of the family when he measured his physique at the age of five, and he was not allowed to enter except for the head of the house, so he was specially locked up.
When I was nine years old, I was sent to Qilin Mountain, the place where I mentioned the creepiness, I went once when I reached the foundation of the body, and I almost couldn't come back.
You don't have to build the foundation of the body, and you basically die a life. He said to them solemnly. ”
The two people's faces changed slightly, and they nodded vigorously.
He continued: "I estimate that the fourth young master is already dead! Because of this, Mrs. Yue cried and went to the head of the family to make a big fuss, and the two separated. Some people also said: The fourth young master did not die, and he was arranged by Mrs. Yue to return to Yuefu in Yuanyang City shortly after arriving at Qilin Mountain. However, there are many theories about this, and I will tell you about these two more likely. Don't spread the word everywhere!"
When the two of them heard this, they kept nodding their heads. As if to say: Don't worry, master!
The old man saw that the two apprentices were looking out again, so he asked, "What's the matter, the master of the family, they have set off?"
The one on the left: Master, haven't come yet. I guess it's still early! You tell me about the Xiao family, we just came.
Seeing this, the old man nodded to them and said, "Okay."
He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: The Xiao family used to be a medium-sized big family in Yuanyang City, but later because of the decline of power, they had to move to Guanyang City. In Guanyang City, because of its strong strength, the merger and killing of some other small gangs was listed as the first university martial arts family in Yuanyang City. There have been nearly 100 years in Guanyang City, Yunyang City has a population of 10 million, about 20,000 martial artists, and more than 5,000 martial artists in the Xiao family. The local government and city lords had to give in three points.
There are three areas in our Xiao family's inner house, the first is the outer hall, and the inside is where the physical martial arts forgers live, where there are only the Guangwu Hall and the deacon hall.
I took you to the Guangwu Hall a few days ago, and I won't talk about everything you know.
The Deacon's Hall is where you can earn martial coins by completing quests or rising ranks, or if something happens in the outer hall, they will solve it. The second is the inner hall, which is the place where the strong people of the body building foundation live and practice martial arts, where there are martial arts pavilions and meeting halls.
There are 6 pavilions in the martial arts pavilion, the first pavilion is a place to check the talent of physical martial arts, the second and third are places to practice martial arts and practice martial arts in the same house, and the 4th and 5th floors are places to collect martial arts. The 6th floor is where the head of the house practices martial arts.
The third piece is the Xiao family's gate, which is full of Xiao family's internal personnel and core martial artists, and there is only one forbidden hall there. I don't know about this, but it is said that only masters who have reached the third stage of the Great Perfection of the Body Building Foundation can enter it.
Saying this, he was silent for a while, and sighed: "Hey, I have been stuck in the first stage of the Great Perfection of the Body Foundation for more than 10 years, and if I can reach the second stage in this life, I will be content!"
When they heard the master's words, they all fell silent.
The old man recovered from his sadness and saw that the apprentices were all bowing their heads. Then he enlightened them and said, "Don't be discouraged! You are still young! If you strive to cultivate hard, you still have a good chance of surpassing me!"
When the two apprentices heard this, they suddenly raised their heads and said in unison: Yes, we will work hard to cultivate, master rest assured!
Suddenly, in the sky above the direction of the Xiao family's house, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers, and the word "Xiao" appeared in the sky.
When the old man heard this, he hurriedly exclaimed: "The Xiao family's secret order! Come back to the Xiao family with me, it seems that something big is about to happen!"
Hearing the master's words, an apprentice asked: What is the Xiao family's secret order?
The old man hurriedly said: The Xiao family's secret order is spoken: Anyone who sees this order must return to the Xiao family with a stick of incense, otherwise he will be killed!
It seems that I have not seen it in the Xiao family for so many years, and it seems that this secret order has appeared twice. ”
Then he hurriedly said to his apprentice: "Hurry up, go back to Xiao Mansion first!"
So the three of them quickly ran out of Siyuan Building and went in the direction of Xiao Mansion.
