The sky was bright, the sun had not yet risen, and several villages and towns in the depths of the vast fields were bustling with activity. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info the merchant shouted "tofu and soy milk". Residents of the town either went out and shouted to the merchants, or opened the doors and windows of their shops. In the fields, there have long been sporadic figures working. Above the land, there is peace and tranquility.

At the foot of a low hill on the edge of the plain, a high wall rises and encloses a large number of houses. The houses are dense, some high and some low, and most of them have unique shapes. This place is called Qiyin Mountain Villa, which is where the main sect of the Han family is located.

Inside the villa, in a small courtyard slightly close to the high wall, Du Shen was meditating and chanting. Next to Du Shen, a small incense burner was placed. The fragrance is constantly wafting from the top lid of the incense burner.

Du Shen recited the scriptures while observing the thoughts in his mind.

Originally, Du Shen planned to cultivate true qi and use the foundation building method of the Immortal Dao to naturally break through the shackles of spiritual attributes. In this way, it can not only improve strength, but also solve hidden dangers, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

It's just that how can things go smoothly? It stands to reason that Du Shen's spiritual attribute has reached 40, which is a level that only foundation building monks can have. If he wants to build a foundation, it shouldn't be difficult.

However, Du Shen has been in the Linghua Realm for almost a year, and he has been concentrating on cultivation for more than half a year. The Qianyuan True Qi he cultivated was always a little bit hot, and he could not reach the perfect state described in the exercises. At this time, Du Shen can also forcibly build the foundation. But such a choice, not to mention that it is not conducive to future promotion, cannot eliminate the hidden dangers on Du Shen's soul.

As a last resort, Du Shen could only give up the method of killing two birds with one stone. In accordance with the most basic and perfect method of repairing the divine soul, he recites sutras and burns incense every day like an ordinary person, making up for the divine soul bit by bit.

Du Shen was concentrating on breathing in the aroma. A person sneaked in from outside the yard. This person has a middle-aged appearance, big ears, and a long black beard, and is Han Chao, another ancestor of the Han family.

Han Chao's movements were natural and fast, but he didn't make the slightest sound along the way. He walked to the middle of the courtyard and looked intently into the house.

Du Shen burned spices, and extraordinary, expensive. He did cultivation, and half of the effect relied on spices. Du Shen naturally closes the doors and windows to prevent the strong wind from blowing away the aroma.

The doors and windows of the house were closed, but Han Chao was not affected much. He released his spiritual sense, and easily sensed the general situation in the house.

Du Shen seemed to be aware of it, and his originally peaceful eyebrows furrowed slightly. He quickly woke up from his state of self-forgetfulness. Du Shen opened his eyes and looked out the door. Even though he couldn't see anything.

A clear male voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Du Daoyou can leave conveniently?" In the lower Han Chao, Xi is the ancestor of the Han family. I and the head of the house have returned early in the morning. If it is convenient for Taoist friends, can they meet in the living room with you? ”

Du Shen raised his voice and said, "Wait a minute! He turned, turned the lid of the censer, and extinguished the spices inside. He put away the incense burner, got out of bed, and straightened his clothes slightly. He walked out the door and greeted Han Chao.

The two exchanged simple greetings, laughed and walked to the living room of the main house.

The living room was wide, and only one person stood and waited. At this time, he also looks middle-aged, with a jade face and a short beard, and is not angry and arrogant. The man made a mockery to Du Shen and introduced himself: "In Xia Han Dingning, Xi is the head of the Han family." Yesterday when I was outside, I couldn't see the courtesy, and I was really sluggish. ”

Du Shenlian didn't dare, and turned sideways slightly to avoid the other party's big gift. Du Shen exchanged a few words with him. The three people in the room sat separately.

The Linghua world is respected by strength, and the status, elder and younger are mostly determined by cultivation. It's just that the Han family has suffered a big change, and when they are most weak, they put their posture very low and treat Du Shen equally.

A servant brought breakfast and placed them in front of the three of them. Han Dingning personally took a piece and beckoned Du Shen not to be restrained.

The pastries in front of me are small and small, but they are by no means vulgar ingredients. Du Shen ate a piece and felt refreshed, and the effect was not much worse than some qi-nourishing pills.

The three of them chatted while eating, and gradually got to the point.

Han Dingning had already taken the lead in eating the pastries in front of him. He took a few sips of spiritual tea, secretly refining the spiritual energy that escaped from the food in his stomach.

Han Dingning put down the teacup and asked bluntly: "Du Daoyou, you are here, in addition to hanging on the ancestors, do you have any other purpose?" ”

Du Shen happened to stuff the last piece of pastry into his mouth. He chews and organizes the language.

Before Du Shen could think of proper words, Han Chao on the other side spoke: "Du Xiaoyou, Ancestor Han Yong is indeed full of praise for you, waiting for you to come day and night. I don't need to investigate your qualifications, I can see that you are extraordinary from a distance. To be honest, with your qualifications, you should enter the three gates. Now that the ancestors have passed away, we don't have the confidence to carve your piece of jade. ”

Du Shen knew that Han Chao's words were exaggerated and beautiful. But the attitude of the two may not be without the intention of befriending themselves. Du Shen estimated that if ordinary monks came, the Han family might not be willing to present the spiritual food in front of them.

Du Shen spoke: "The elders behind me really don't allow the apprenticeship. Han's seniors treated me differently. The two seniors were also hospitable. If you don't reciprocate a little, you will really feel uneasy. I heard that the Rough Realm has not been peaceful recently. The younger generation thinks that he has some ability, and he is willing to help, which can be regarded as self-sharpening. ”

Han Dingning and Han Chao glanced at each other. Han Dingning simply refused: "I'll just shout at my nephew." Virtuous nephew! The current situation of my Han family is indeed not good, but it has nothing to do with you. You have great talent and a great future, and we dare not drag you into these troubled waters. The difficulties in front of us will always be overcome. If there is a mistake in the nephew, it will be suffocating. ”

Han Chao next to him also helped: "Yes, Du Xiaoyou." This is the time for you to lay the foundation, and you should never be in danger. If you think that our Han family can be friends, it will be good to come back often in the future. ”

Although Han Dingning's words were beautiful, Du Shen estimated that they might not be worried about their origins. The Han family is weak, and there are strong enemies watching outside. Du Shen's origin is unknown. Where did the Han family dare to keep Du Shen in the clan?

Du Shen thought about it for a while, and felt that the plan could be flexible. He simply got up: "I understand." The two seniors are full of intentions, how can I not know what to do? I won't make any trouble for everyone, so I'll leave today. When the Han family is a villain, I will come back as a guest. ”

Han Dingning and the two apologized one after another. They invited Du Shen to taste the spiritual tea, and gave Du Shen a few small packets of sealed tea leaves.

People who cultivate the truth do not have too much hypocrisy and politeness. Du Shen stepped out of the living room and was really sent out of the door by Han Dingning and the others. Du Shen said goodbye, turned around and strode away.

Han Dingning and the others watched Du Shenyuan go, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now there is a strange thing going to happen in the rugged and yin realm every three or five times, either the spirit is haunting, or the evil ghost hurts people. As a local cultivator, the Han family naturally shoulders the responsibility of dealing with it. Because of the recent strange events, the Han family has been busy with the dispatch of forces. They suspect that an enemy is working in the shadows.

Du Shen's qualifications and status are indeed strange. In the eyes of the Han family, non-major forces cannot be cultivated. The enemies in the secret didn't know yet, how could they dare to involve the forces behind Du Shen again? That's why they were in a hurry to send Du Shen away.

As for Du Shen, although he left the villa, he did not leave the rugged realm. He's going to explore the places where strange things are going on. Follow-up actions need to be decided based on the circumstances detected.
