The scorching sun was in the sky, and the cries of knowledge were weakened by the scorching temperature.

In an independent small courtyard of Xiang's house, Xiang Yuan, who was wearing a white-background and yellow-striped practice uniform, with belts on his hands and feet, was sweating profusely and standing in the hot sun.

While the sticky sweat soaked a large area of his body, small water stains accumulated under his feet.

Gritting his teeth, Xiang Yuan kept adjusting his breathing, and the quarter-hour horse step made his legs tremble uncontrollably, and he was about to be unable to support it.

Wang Chong, who was standing on the side, saw Xiang Yuan's performance and nodded secretly.

"It's okay, the third young master has just arrived, just stop when you get there. That's all for today. ”

Afraid of tiring the little young master, Wang Chong took the initiative to ask him to take a rest.

Handing Xiang Yuan a cup of warm water and a towel, looking at Xiang Yuan as the cow drank all the water in the cup, Wang Chong smiled: "Third young master, this martial arts practice is not as good as learning literature."

Practice three dogs in summer and three nines in winter. If you can't hold on, just tell me.

Don't break your body by then, the second master and the second lady won't have to find me to fight hard. ”

Wiping off the water stains on his mouth, Xiang Yuan waved his hand carelessly: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, since I have decided to learn martial arts, I will not give up halfway."

You don't have to care about who I am, I can practice as much as I want!"

Hearing Xiang Yuan's determined tone, Wang Chong nodded: "Okay, it's rare for a young master to have such determination and perseverance at such an age."

Young master, don't worry, since you really want to learn martial arts, I will definitely do my best to teach you.

Go back and rest today, and I will make a proper martial arts training plan for the young master as soon as possible. ”

"Then there is Uncle Lao. ”

......

At night, Xiang Yuan crawled on the bed.

The maids Lan Yu and Bixia were kneeling beside Xiang Yuan on their knees, massaging the sore muscles on their bodies.

With the special effect of restoring the ring in the equipment column, Xiang Yuan almost doesn't have to care about overtraining, and the subtle damage caused to the body belt can be carried out with unscrupulous super-intensity and overload training.

Half of his face was buried in a soft and lightly scented pillow, and a pair of black and white eyes flashed on Yuan Qing's childish face, flashing with brilliance that should not be present at this age.

During this time, after knocking on the side of the abyss and eavesdropping several times, he vaguely learned a terrible secret......

That is the perverted murderer who caused these three horrific bloody cases in Guangling!

Seem...... Not human!

He didn't hear the specifics, but he heard his grandfather and his father and uncles discussing whether to take refuge elsewhere first, and then come back when Guangling was sure to be safe.

When he overheard the news, Xiang Yuan was shocked.

You must know that the Xiang family is a big family in Guangling, if it is not really encountered some crisis that cannot be dealt with, Xiang Yuan's grandfather will never propose to relocate the whole family.

In the shadow of the ordinary world, is there darkness that hunts humans for food?

Clenched his own and small fists, a deep light flowed in Xiang Yuan's pupils.

If the world is really what I guessed, can I protect myself?!

......

Under the inky night, the starlight is faint and the moon is dim

On the forest path three hundred miles east of Guangling, two men in plain cloth robes, one of whom was carrying a bamboo basket, were hurrying in the direction of Guangling.

"Senior brother, will the things that Master asked us to find be here?

We chased it for 3,000 miles before, and we saw that we were about to be caught, but we were disturbed by the two brothers of the Pei family, which is really infuriating. Lifting the bamboo basket he was carrying behind his back, the younger man complained casually.

"True law, be cautious. Now that the relationship between us and the Pei family is in a period of relaxation, at this time, there must be no friction and mistakes.

If you let Master know, it will be thirty precepts again!" The slightly older man with a generous face reminded in a low voice.

"Got it, Senior Brother True Ring. Thinking of Master's ring ruler, Zhenfa couldn't help but subconsciously shrink his neck.

"This place is not far from Guangling, let's speed up our pace, maybe we can arrive before the Pei family brothers.

If the two brothers arrived in Guangling first, it is impossible to say how many civilians would be affected. ”

After Zhenjie finished speaking, Zhenfa also nodded, and the two of them immediately quickened their pace and rushed towards Guangling.

......

"Brother Wang, the head of the family is looking for you. ”

Under the scorching sun, Wang Zheng, who was guiding Xiang Yuan to exercise and lay the foundation, was called by the old man of the Xiang family.

After a while, Wang Chong returned and said to Xiang Yuan: "Third Young Master, the head of the family has an urgent matter entrusted to me to do, and I can't teach you today."

You should first practice according to the way I have formulated, and remember to pay attention to proportion, so as not to hurt your body. ”

After asking Xiang Yuan a few words, Wang Chong left in a hurry, leaving Xiang Yuan alone in the courtyard.

Is there another accident......

Standing alone in the courtyard, Xiang Yuan thought in his heart that Wang Chong was the head of the Xiang family's guards, and his martial arts were strong.

What Xiang Yuan's grandfather specially ordered Wang Chong to do must be very important.

However, at this moment, although Xiang Yuan guessed that there was something strange in this, he was helpless that he was still a child, and no matter how much he knew, he was not able to participate.

Looking at the stone locks and other utensils stacked in front of him, Xiang Yuan's eyes flashed with determination, and he picked up the stone locks and exercised his weak body according to the method left by Wang Chong.

......

"Dad, I'm back, so anxious to find me something. In the room of Xiang Munan, the head of the Xiang family, that is, Xiang Yuan's grandfather, Xiang Yuan's third uncle, Xiang Beixin walked quickly into the old man's room.

"Guangling is under martial law!" Sitting on a Taishi chair, Xiang Mu Nan held a purple sand teapot in his left hand, and his tone was a little tired.

"Martial law? How could it be suddenly under martial law. Xiang Beixin was surprised, Guangling martial law means that Guangling will fully enter a closed state of no entry or exit, if this is the case, then the relocation plan prepared by Xiang Jia will be aborted.

"This morning, the chief secretary of the Yamen came to deliver a letter, and the magistrate has decided to impose martial law in Guangling from today. Let's prepare in advance. ”

The continuous occurrence of the Guangling Bloody Case has made the big families living here feel far more uneasy than the common people, and the richer the people, the more they cherish their lives, and this principle is applicable everywhere.

"Then we ......" Guangling martial law will definitely not allow anyone to leave, especially a big family like the Xiang family.

Because once they leave, it will inevitably affect the other residents of Guangling, thus causing even greater unrest.

"Now we can only take one step at a time. I'm in a hurry to find you back, I want you to arrange your family's business, and some goods that need to be shipped out of Guangling martial law can't be shipped out, so you can arrange it in advance now and try to reduce losses. ”

Martial law in Guangling is the decree of the imperial court, and although the Xiang family is a big family in Guangling, they cannot disobey the will of the imperial court.

After all, the people must not fight with the officials.

"Okay, I got it. I'll arrange it now, and you should also pay more attention to your body. Noticing the tiredness in his father's eyes, he nodded to Beixin.

This kind of thing has happened in Guangling now, and for Xiang Munan, who started from scratch and built Xiang's family to this point, the psychological pressure has always been very great.

"Well, go ahead. He nodded and motioned to Beixin to go down, and Xiang Mu Nan sat alone in the room.

The sunlight outside the house shone into the room through the window and gently pressed down on Xiang Munan's feet.

......

The time was pushed sideways for half a month, and the curfew and martial law were implemented at the same time, which really made the murderer who liked to dig people's hearts and minds rein in and did not continue to commit crimes.

But the lockdown environment has made the oppressive atmosphere more and more intense

In the courtyard of the Xiang family, Wang Chong looked at Xiang Yuan, who had been practicing martial arts for less than a month, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he secretly said in his heart, could it be that the third prince was really born to practice martial arts.

In less than a month, Xiang Yuan's strength growth level was half faster than Wang Chong expected, you must know that the plan he made for Xiang Yuan was almost the limit of what a child of this age could hold.

A little more, it will damage the fascia, muscles.

can see that Xiang Yuan is alive and well every day, and it doesn't look like he hurts his muscles and flesh at all.

The only explanation is that Xiang Yuan himself has a strong talent for martial arts, and his qualifications are much better than ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Wang Chong's eyes suddenly had a little more in his eyes, when he was young, he was plotted by thieves, and it was difficult to make an inch of progress in martial arts.

But what he has learned, he doesn't want to be brought into the coffin so desolate.

Now, Xiang Yuan is obsessed with martial arts and has such outstanding qualifications, Wang Chong can't help but move the idea of inheriting the mantle.

Let's take a look at it again, if the third young master really has a fate with martial arts, then what I have learned in this body can be regarded as being able to be pinned on......

didn't know that Wang Chong was already secretly treating him as the heir to the mantle, and Xiang Yuan, who was practicing energetically, was sweating like rain.

In less than a month, Xiang Yuan had clearly felt the increase in his strength.

And all thanks to Xiang Yuan's magical equipment slot and the recovery ring with self-healing ability in it.

With these two things as the backing, Xiang Yuan will continue to train while Wang Chong is away after completing the number of training sets by Wang Chong every day.

This kind of high-intensity, overloaded training, if it were put on an ordinary six-year-old child, I am afraid that even the corpse would be cold now.

However, with the powerful healing effect of the Restoration Ring, all the injuries Xiang Yuan suffered during his training were smoothed over time, allowing him to create results far beyond Wang Chong's estimates.

With a bang, he threw away the stone lock in his hand.

Sweating profusely, Xiang Yuan put his hands on his knees, gasping for fresh air, and the stinging pain in his shoulders, elbows, and wrists gradually subsided with his breathing.

"Young master, give. Handing a towel to Xiang Yuan, Wang Chong sat on the stone bench, looked at Xiang Yuan and said with a smile: "Young master, can you tell me why you are suddenly so interested in martial arts? ”

Sticking the towel on his face to absorb the sweat on his face, Xiang Yuan raised his head and looked at Wang Chong, then lowered his head and exhaled: "Actually, it's nothing, I just think this can give me more security." ”

"A sense of security?" Wang Chong was surprised as to why Xiang Yuan replied like this.

You must know that Xiang Yuan is not a child of a poor family, as the grandson of the Xiang family, Xiang Yuan should not lack a sense of security, after all, in Guangling, the Xiang family is wealthy, and even today's county order has to pay tribute to the old man.

He really didn't understand why Xiang Yuan was so insecure, and even needed to make up for it by practicing martial arts.

"Okay, Uncle Wang, that's all for today.

In the afternoon, my father hired my husband to teach me how to write.

I'll go first!" The persistence in his eyes flashed, and Xiang Yuan quickly regained his childish appearance, waved his hand to Wang Chong, and trotted away.

Looking at the back of Xiang Yuan leaving, Wang Chong's eyes lowered and he thought about it secretly.

Then, the nurse of the Xiang Mansion nodded imperceptibly, turned and walked to his room, and in a short time took out an old yellowed book from the box under the bed.

Looking at the delicate and tactful handwriting on the title page of the old book, Wang Chong's hand trembled slightly, and the haze in his eyes that could not see the truth lingered......

......
