The middle-aged man in gray walked along, one step and dozens of meters, and soon came to a quaint and atmospheric mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This gentleman, this is the Shangguan Marquis Mansion, what can I do for you?" The guard warrior in front of the house hurriedly came over to greet him and asked.

This is the characteristic of Yuanjing, and the first priority of the guards in front of any mansion in Yuanjing is not force, but etiquette. Because historical experience shows that those who are arrogant in Yuanjing will bring disaster to themselves. So the guards will take everyone who comes to visit seriously, even if he is a beggar, although Yuanjing does not have a beggar trade.

The middle-aged man grinned in the face of the guard's inquiry and said, "I'm Shangguan Mingyuan." ”

"What!" When the guard heard this, his legs weakened, and he stammered: "First, sir, wait a minute, I will go and report to the master of the family." ”

An hour later, in the main hall of the Marquis of Shangguan's Mansion, Shangguan Mingyuan sat on the main seat, and below were the heads of the Shangguan family, elders, heads of houses, wives, and dozens of children and grandchildren, standing in dozens of rows according to their generations.

"Meet the Ancestors." Today's Marquis of the Dayu Dynasty, the head of the Shangguan family, and the martial arts master, the sixty-eight-year-old Shangguan Bowen took the lead in kneeling.

"Meet the Ancestors." Dozens of people in the back, all of them were very respectful.

Shangguan Mingyuan looked around the hall, smiled, and said, "Get up." ”

Shangguan Bowen stood up alone, turned around and said, "The elder stays, and the rest of the people retreat." ”

"No." The people hurriedly answered, but did not stand up, but bowed their heads and fell backwards on their knees on the ground.

"No need, just stay, let me see more." Shangguan Mingyuan waved his hand to stop it.

When Shangguan Bowen heard this, he naturally didn't dare to object. He hurriedly arranged for everyone to stand up, and then bowed to Shangguan Mingyuan and said, "The old ancestor is no longer enjoying the blessings of Yuanshan, how did he come back, is there something we need to handle?" ”

Shangguan Mingyuan looked at the big family in the hall, and said with a smile in a tone full of pride: "Two hundred and thirty years ago, I was made a marquis, and today, the Shangguan family has been hereditary for twelve generations. Time flies so fast, my son, grandson, great-grandson, and even great-grandson are all old and dead, and only I am still in the world, and I am also an old monster. ”

Shangguan Bowen said: "Ancestor, without you, there would be no us. You are here, the spirit of the Shangguan family, the root is there. At present, the Shangguan family has roots in the nine major dynasties on the mainland. The outstanding people of each generation of our have been dispersed, and the Shangguan family will be passed down for thousands of generations, all because of you. ”

Shangguan Mingyuan nodded and said, "From the sixteenth year of Zhongxing to the present, I have lived for two hundred and eighty years. Now look at you juniors, one glance is one less glance. In five years' time, I'll be dead too. So when I came back today, it was the last time, and this time, I will also arrange the aftermath. ”

"Ancestor!" Shangguan Bowen was shocked, and quickly knelt down, kowtowing and weeping. The people behind him also knelt down, and everyone kowtowed and wept.

"Ancestor, please command." An elder wept.

"You're still too young. There is life, and there is death. Saints are not avoided, what is there to be sad about. Shangguan Mingyuan chuckled lightly and said, "I didn't tell you before, because I was afraid that you would be arrogant and complacent and invite trouble." Actually, I am in Yuanshan, serving as the fifth elder, and now I am not long in life. According to the rules, you can bring two outstanding juniors to Yuanshan to practice. You can inform the branches of this matter and arrange it. ”

"No." Shangguan Bowen wept and said, "I will definitely arrange it and find out the best juniors." If the old ancestor is gone, they will be the new patron saints of the Shangguan family. ”

Shangguan Mingyuan shook his head and said, "How can there be any guardian spirit, holy land and worldly, in fact, there is not much difference between the truth, but the pursuit is different." You have to remember that the real guardian of the Shangguan family is not me, but the four words of self-improvement. You have to get rid of the influence of me and strive for it yourself. Just like the Zhongxing period, when everything was in ruins, and the dynasty was chaotic, the ancestors of many families now rose in that troubled era. ”

Shangguan Mingyuan said again: "There is a recent incident about the evaluation of exercises, do you know? ”

Shangguan Bowen said: "I know about this matter, now in Yuanjingli, everyone is asking: Have your exercises been assessed?" What grade? ”

Shangguan Mingyuan nodded, took out a book made of gold from his arms, handed it to Shangguan Bowen and said: "This is my lifelong cultivation experience, as well as all my martial arts insights, just put it in the family, and you will pass it on to the branches when you turn around." There are no exercises, no martial arts. Because when it comes to real people, these are all illusory. So there's just some gibberish in there, maybe it helps. ”

Shangguan Bowen's knees moved forward, he couldn't control his grief, and took the book indifferently.

Shangguan Mingyuan said: "The standard for evaluating the exercises is the wisdom of all the people in the entire Yuanshan. Thousands of transcendental beings, dozens of real people, as well as elders, and even national teachers have participated, but ordinary people don't know about it. So, you pass these standards on to the branches. I have used the Heavenly Machine Scripture to calculate that the future of the mainland will change because of this standard, which is an important thing. ”

"Keep it in mind." Shangguan Bowen kowtowed.

Shangguan Mingyuan took out a page of white jade paper from his arms again, and said: "This is what I recorded thirty years ago, and it is all some of my friends. If there are people who are not dead, or who can still walk, let them make sure to come to Wonsan. The evaluation of the exercises has just begun, and when the evaluation of those antique books in the storage room is completed, it will be the turn of the existing exercises, and all families and sects will be involved. So the further you go, the bigger the argument will be. And when ideas and ideas start to collide, sparks will be generated, and maybe someone will break through the realm in the debate. ”

"No." Shangguan Bowen kowtowed and said, "The ancestor still has something to explain." ”

"Keep up with the trend of the times, the next king of the Yu Dynasty is the Shengwu King, you must seize the opportunity, follow him, and then actively prepare for war. In the future of troubled times, this chaos will be even more terrifying than the Warring States period. No one can escape but flee to the Endless Sea. The Shangguan family is a marquis, and it is impossible to hide, so they can only fight hard. And I don't have time, so I'll have to rely on yourselves. ”

"Keep it in mind." Shangguan Bowen kowtowed again and again, and said, "Lingyun Pavilion has already issued an order, and we all know it in our hearts. ”

Shangguan Mingyuan nodded, then stood up from his seat, stretched out his hand to help Shangguan Bowen up, and said: "The rest, it's nothing, I will stay at home for five days, you will gather all the clansmen who can rush back, I will take the school one by one and give guidance, this is the only thing I can do." ”

Jade Flawless: Chapters will start tomorrow. This is the end of the matter of evaluating the exercises. Most of the people who read my books are old bookworms, so they don't explain too obviously, straightforwardly, and in a running account. Everyone makes up for it on their own.
