As the night deepened, tranquility returned to the ancestral land. On the top of the cliff, Gong Lining, the ancestor of the palace family, sat cross-legged, and beside him sat the slightly drunken Gong Zhanshan.

Outside the ancestral hall, no one knew the shock in Gong Lining's heart, he didn't expect that the people of the palace family would have such an elite martial arts fighting spirit in their bodies. Gong Lining knew that whether it was the Martial Cultivation Family or the Yin Clan, they first had to give birth to spiritual roots and qi seeds before they could continue to cultivate. There are grades of spiritual roots, and there are also high and low types of qi. The aura in Gong Zhanshan's body can actually dissipate his ninth-level spiritual power, what kind of qi will this be?

Gong Lining glanced at Gong Zhanshan and asked with a kind smile, "Zhanshan, do you think that the ancestral land here is a little colder and barren compared to Huafeng City?"

Gong Zhanshan burped, looked at the mountains and mountains in the moonlight, and couldn't help but spread his arms comfortably, "Ancestor, Huafeng City is far worse than the ancestral land. It is nothing more than a city of earth and rocks, and although the merchants are bustling and lively, it is also intriguing and greedy. It is like our ancestral land with beautiful scenery by mountains and rivers, and the most valuable thing is that people's hearts are simple and have the feeling of relatives. If you want me to say, this is a paradise. ”

"Xanadu?" Gong Lining looked at Zhan Shan in surprise, not believing that this was the words of a child under the age of ten.

Gong Lining nodded slightly, "Zhanshan, in the past, the Gong family was sent to the ancestral land, and it took a long time for them to get used to life here. You little guy is peculiar, and it really impresses the ancestor a little. ”

Gong Zhanshan arched his hand, "Ancestor, you brought Zhanshan here, didn't you just want the juniors to see the beautiful night of the ancestral land." ”

Gong Lining smiled, "Then what do you mean by the ancestor?"

Gong Zhanshan smiled, "I must have wanted to ask about the token on the way." By the way, please see if this sign is real or fake?"

Gong Zhanshan said and took out the silver dragon token and handed it over, this is the ancestral land of the Gong family, and Gong Lining is the biggest backer of the ancestral land, Gong Zhanshan doesn't care if he will possess this card. After all, he is still young, and it is better to hand over such a valuable thing to him as soon as possible.

Gong Lining's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take the silver dragon token with a little excitement. As soon as the token was in his hands, Gong Lining immediately judged the authenticity of the token. In the pattern of the token, a formation is engraved with spiritual power. With Gong Lining's experience and cultivation, he was immediately shocked by the lines of the formation.

Gong Lining said with emotion, "When the ancestor traveled to the Luofeng Domain, he learned that there were less than ten Silver Dragon Orders in total, and each one was engraved by the second-generation domain master himself. I didn't expect to meet today. Zhanshan, do you know that with this token, you can directly enter the inner courtyard of the Silver Dragon Academy to cultivate. Such a great opportunity is really hard to come by. ”

Gong Lining looked at the token repeatedly, and handed it to Gong Zhanshan with some reluctance. Gong Zhanshan did not stretch out his hand, but said humbly.

"Ancestor, since it's true, then you can keep it. Anyway, I don't have a spiritual root, so if you think anyone in the family has this qualification, give it to him. I heard that next year will be the opening of the Silver Dragon Academy once in ten years, if you can, I think Sister Gongling's qualifications are good. ”

Gong Zhanshan is also smart, and he clearly asked the ancestor to arrange it, but secretly voted for Gong Ling. Anyway, this thing is also his, and Gong Zhanshan believes that the ancestor will attach importance to his recommendation.

"You~ You don't keep it? This is the opportunity that the master specially left for you. Gong Lining looked at Zhan Shan in surprise, he felt that Gong Zhan Shan was still young, and he didn't know the great meaning of this token.

Gong Zhanshan smiled, "Ancestor, in fact, I lied to Uncle Qingyuan, the Mu Jing Lord didn't say anything at all, I was afraid that some of the family warriors would be greedy and deliberately scare them." Now that I have arrived in the ancestral land, with you in charge, I am not afraid of anyone to rob this thing. ”

"Zhanshan, do you know that once the ancestor is transferred to others, you ~ you will lose a big opportunity. Maybe you still don't know what the Silver Dragon Academy represents, it is not only a holy place for cultivation, but also the only secret realm location in the Luofeng Domain. The major wealthy families are vying to enter the Silver Dragon Courtyard, just to get the opportunity to enter the secret realm. Are you really willing to give up?" Gong Lining's sharp eyes stared at Gong Zhanshan.

Hearing the word 'secret realm', Gong Zhanshan's heart moved, although he didn't know what was in the secret realm, since so many people sharpened their heads and fought for their heads, it should be a good place. However, Gong Zhanshan looked up at the moonlight indifferently.

"It's not a matter of giving or taking. Ancestor, if God really gives me a chance, I believe no one will be able to take it away. What's more, I don't have a spiritual root, so it's useless to go to the Silver Dragon Academy. If the Gong family can really rely on this token to appear a strong man, the family will not need to look at the face of the city lord in Huafeng City. ”

Gong Zhanshan is not stupid, he is not sure to keep this thing for ten years, it is better to hand it over to the ancestor as soon as possible, at least he can get his protection in the ancestral land in the future. As for the matter of the Silver Dragon Academy, he is still young anyway, and it is not too late to wait for ten years to go on a rampage.

Gong Lining looked at Gong Zhanshan in surprise, he even felt that he was not talking to a child, but facing a wise man.

Gong Lining sighed with emotion, "The palace family has such a son, those boys are blinded. Perhaps this is really God's arrangement to send you to the ancestral land. Child, although this thing is good, it is difficult for the ancestor to guarantee that he can shelter for ten years. If you really want to, then ~ transfer it to the palace bell girl. You can rest assured, such a meritorious ancestor and Baocheng will be remembered. No matter what happens in the future, the Ancestor will definitely guarantee you a seat. ”

Gong Zhanshan saluted with both hands, and said quite solemnly, "Thank you for the love of the ancestors, the juniors don't dare to be greedy, they just want to do something wrong in the ancestral land in the future, and the ancestors will take care of them more." In addition, I hope that the ancestor will take care of my mother for the sake of this token, and let the patriarch take care of my mother. ”

Gong Lining smiled lovingly, "Your little thing is a little bit not simple, even the ancestor is surprising to me." Old Ancestor asked you, have you cultivated your fighting spirit?"

"Douqi, by the way, Ancestor, I was about to tell you. After the fight outside the valley that day, the lord of the wood said that it was to open up the qi veins for me. But~ I can't find the fighting spirit on my body at all?" Gong Zhanshan said the doubts in his heart without concealment.

"Uh? Is it ~ directly open up the qi vein?"

Gong Lining opened her mouth, and her eyes were about to pop out in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would open up a vein of fighting spirit for Gong Zhanshan with a wave of his hand. Gong Lining was shocked in his heart, it was not easy to plant a child's fighting spirit, let alone directly open up the qi vein. What level of master is this Wood Spirit? Could it be that he is already close to the heavenly level? It is said that a master of this level should be famous in all directions, why haven't you heard of this person's great name?

This night, the ancestor of the palace family, Gong Li Ning, did not sleep all night. In the ancestral hall, Gong Lining lit three sticks of incense and prayed sincerely to the ancestors. As a hermit family, he didn't know that there was a martial cultivator in the family, which was a blessing or a curse for Zhanshan. You must know that spirituality and martial cultivation have always been distinct, martial arts cultivation is not spiritual, spiritual cultivation is not martial arts, if the palace family really appears such an anomaly, Gong Lining is worried that he will be rejected by the entire family.

In the next few days, Gong Lining disappeared into the ancestral land. A few days later, as soon as Gong Lining returned to his ancestral land, he took Zhanshan to a remote mountain range. Gong Lining went to the nearest capital and spent a lot of spars in the trading hall in exchange for a martial arts heart method. The Gong family has no martial arts secrets, Gong Zhanshan has merit to the Gong family, and Gong Lining can only do it without telling everyone. But he warned Zhan Shan that this matter should not be leaked, and he was the only one in the ancestral land who knew about it. Gong Lining is here to occupy the mountain, and he doesn't want him to become an outlier in the ancestral land. Moreover, the level of the exchange method is low, and Gong Lining does not think that Zhanshan will have much cultivation.

Gong Zhanshan was very grateful, and with a period of familiarity, Gong Zhanshan quickly integrated into the ancestral land. Under the secret protection of the ancestors, Gong Zhanshan enjoyed special treatment in the ancestral land. At a young age, Gong Zhanshan didn't like to play with his peers, and often went into the mountains and forests alone to practice secretly. Many elders were worried about his safety, but Gong Lining said that with his protection, everyone did not have to worry.

The year passed quickly, and good news came from Huafeng City, in addition to Gong Ling, the grandson of the second room palace Baohai Gong Zhanli actually broke into the Silver Dragon Courtyard. For this reason, the Gong family was rewarded by the lord of Huafeng City, and their status in Huafeng City has also improved a lot.

Gong Zhanshan knew that Gong Ling had entered the Silver Dragon Courtyard with his token, and Gong Zhanshan was also very relieved when he thought of the girl's happy smile. In the past year, while he had secretly cultivated Dou Qi, he had not given up the spiritual power in his mind. But without ambergris, Gong Zhanshan's spiritual power progressed very slowly, and more importantly, he didn't know how to use the invisible power in the sea of consciousness.

There are no years in the practice, year after year, nine years pass quickly, and the sixteen-year-old Gong Zhanshan has grown into a sturdy young man. Over the years, my mother Liu has come to visit several times, but my father Gong Qingkun has never come once. And my father has already renewed the second room, if it weren't for my grandfather's efforts to protect the Liu family, I'm afraid he would have been expelled from the palace mansion.

In the ancestral land, Li Ning of the Old Ancestral Palace has been caring for the growth of Zhanshan for nine years, the old and the young have nothing to talk about, and even the unknown power in the sea of Zhanshan has also told the ancestor. For all this that happened to Zhan Shan, it was beyond the cognition of the old ancestor Gong Li Ning, but he was sure that Gong Zhan Shan was definitely not a thing in the pool.

It was another full moon night, and a figure slipped out of the ancestral land and ran towards the top of the mountain. Gong Zhanshan left a letter to his ancestor, and he decided to go to the outside world to explore. It took nine years of cultivation to reach the first level of Xuanpin, after all, the heart method exchanged was very ordinary, and it could not match the Aoki Dou Qi in Zhanshan's body. Moreover, there are less than two years to go before the Silver Dragon Academy opens, and Gong Zhanshan knows that he must find another way out, otherwise he is not qualified to go to the Silver Dragon Academy at all.

On the top of the green cliff, Gong Zhanshan looked at the ancestral land below with a simple package on his back, and sighed endlessly. He knew that he was leaving, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, thinking of the care of his ancestors over the years, Gong Zhanshan also felt a little guilty in his heart. Just when Gong Zhanshan was about to say goodbye, a voice sounded from behind him, Gong Zhanshan was startled, and subconsciously released his fighting spirit.

"What, just left?"

Gong Zhanshan turned around vigilantly, and behind him, the thin figure of Old Ancestor Gong Li Ning on crutches appeared in the moonlight.

The ancestors and grandchildren looked at each other, Gong Zhanshan lowered his head weakly, stepped forward and took two steps to kneel on his knees, "Ancestor, I want to ~ go out and have a good time." ”

Gong Lining didn't say anything, walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the ancestral land and whispered, "Stinky boy, the golden scales are not in the pool after all, it's time to go through it." ”

Gong Lining said and turned his head to look at Gong Zhanshan, "Zhanshan, do you know that our Gong family's ancestral land is poor in resources, why does the Gong family still guard this ancestral land for generations?"

Gong Zhanshan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "It's because ~ I don't forget my ancestors' homeland, the ancestral land is here, and the palace family has roots." ”

Gong Lining smiled, shook his head and said, "Our ancestor of the Gong family used to be just an ordinary hunter in this mountain. Since the ancestors of the Great Wilderness bred spiritual veins, they have changed the descendants of our palace family. Do you know how the Great Wilderness Ancestors gave birth to the spiritual root?"

Gong Zhanshan didn't understand why the ancestor said this, and shook his head suspiciously. Gong Lining's face also became serious, "Child, what our Gong family guards is not only the root of our ancestors, but also an unknown secret. This secret, except for the patriarch of Huafeng City, can only be known by the venerable elder who guards the ancestral land. But tonight, Ancestor I will set a precedent and take you to see the real ancestral land. ”

"The real ancestral land?" Gong Zhanshan looked at the ancestor in surprise, he had traveled everywhere in the ancestral land in the past eight years, and he didn't feel any difference.

"Let's go, the ancestors of the Great Wilderness have changed the future generations, maybe in the later generations, you kid can change the palace family. ”

Gong Lining said, walking lightly to the right with a cane, and Gong Zhanshan quickly got up and followed quickly. Gong Lining didn't seem to be walking fast, but Gong Zhanshan ran with all his strength before he barely followed. The grandfather and grandson came to a long and narrow valley, and if it weren't for Zhanshan's familiarity with the terrain here, they would have been thrown away long ago.

Gong Li Ning stopped next to a huge mountain rock erected, "Zhanshan, do you know what this boulder is called?"

"You know, the people of the ancestral land call it the Flying Stone. ”

Gong Lining looked at the boulder, with a little respect in his eyes, "Under this boulder, is the real secret of the ancestral land." ”

Gong Lining said, respectfully saluting the boulder. Just when Gong Zhanshan was puzzled, Ancestor Gong Li Ning's whole body bloomed with brilliance, and it looked extremely dazzling in the dark valley.

The spiritual power of the ninth level of Xuanpin slapped towards the four corners of the boulder, and a magic circle flashed and appeared at the bottom of the boulder. With the lapping of spiritual power, the boulder made a sound, and it actually moved sideways by half a zhang. Beneath the boulder, a staircase leads to the underground.

"Occupy the mountain, the entrance of this cave leads to a spring of earth. It was on a night of thunder and lightning that the ancestors of the Great Wilderness stumbled upon this boulder opened by the power of thunder and lightning, and they got this great opportunity. It's a pity that the people of the palace family in later generations can't find out the secrets of those years. Gong Lining said and lit the reserved torch and took the lead in entering the cave.

Gong Zhanshan was nervous and excited, he never dreamed that the ancestral land of the Gong family still hid such a big secret. The old and young entered the tunnel, and the short journey of fifty zhang came to an end. At the end of the tunnel is a natural stone cave with a basin-sized stone trough at the very bottom of the cave, which is filled with clear spring water. The whole stone cave is natural, but it looks unusually cold.

Gong Lining stuck the torch in the stone crack of the cave wall, Gong Zhanshan looked around, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Ancestor, this spring water~ Could it be the secret of the ancestral land?"

Gong Lining looked at the stone trough with awe, "Zhanshan, this cave is not left by the ancestors, according to the records left by the second generation of ancestors, the ancestors of the Great Wilderness who opened up the spiritual veins of the palace family drank this spring and slumbered the spiritual roots. But none of the people of the future generations will be blessed by this spiritual spring. You don't have a spiritual vein, maybe you can rely on the spiritual spring to breed like the ancestors of the Great Wilderness. As for whether or not you can get the chance, it depends on your creation. The Ancestor guards you outside the cave and must leave before sunrise. Occupy the mountain, remember, this is the holy place of the palace family, and it must not be desecrated. ”

Gong Zhanshan bowed deeply, "Thank you for the love of the ancestors, the ancestors can rest assured, no matter whether they can get the opportunity or not, Zhanshan will not desecrate the holy land of the palace family." ”

Gong Lining didn't say anything more, he shouldn't have brought Gong Zhanshan here, but in the dark, Gong Lining always felt that he should be allowed to enter the palace family's holy land once. As for whether or not you can get the favor of the ancestors, it depends on his creation.

The whole cave house quieted down, and Gong Zhanshan was so excited that he had long forgotten what he said just now that he could not be blasphemed, drank some spring water, and even washed his head and face. When Gong Zhanshan meditated and didn't find anything magical, he immediately stood up and began to look around the cave wall.

More than an hour passed, and Gong Zhanshan found nothing, and even slapped around with his fighting spirit and found no mechanism. If this is seen by the ancestor, it is estimated that the nose will be crooked.

"What's so magical about this place? Could it be that the ancestors have run out of luck?"

Gong Zhanshan searched carefully, confirming that there was nothing magical around the stone cave, and finally his eyes focused on the stone trough. Gong Zhanshan lowered his head and stared at the stone trough, this thing is an ordinary bluestone, and there is nothing special about it. Gong Zhanshan's right hand carefully touched every part of the stone trough to see if he could find any organs. He groped around the entire outside of the stone trough, but he couldn't find the so-called mechanism. Gong Zhanshan rolled up his sleeves and stretched out to the spring in the stone trough, and at this moment, Gong Zhanshan suddenly felt a pain in his fingers and immediately retracted. A raised sharp edge at the bottom of the stone trough actually cut his finger.

"Damn, it can't be that the ancestor is angry, right?"

Gong Zhanshan muttered and shook his hand, but he didn't notice that the blood dripping from the stone trough actually flowed into the spring in reverse. The spring, which had been calm, suddenly boiled like boiling water.

Gong Zhanshan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed surprise on his face, holding the stone trough with both hands and hurriedly looking at the bottom of the trough. Suddenly, a black-covered snake burst out of the spring, as if it had met its prey in hunger and thirst.

Gong Zhanshan waved his hand in fright, but was bitten on the palm of his hand by a black snake.
