Retreat is a general term for a kind of careful cultivation, and the effects vary from person to person, from event to event, and there is more than one method.

Generally speaking, the purpose of retreat is to coordinate the results achieved after high-intensity martial arts cultivation and to calm the violent aura in the body, but there are also some people who retreat to improve the spiritual control power, that is, the cultivation ability of "soul art". In any case, the retreat needs to be in a very quiet environment, otherwise, if the highly concentrated mind is disturbed, it will cause confusion in the body, and the consequences will be very severe.

Therefore, when many people are in retreat, they will choose some deserted places, even if they are familiar with people, they will not tell them, so as not to be disturbed unintentionally. Generally speaking, caves and even tombs are preferred, and few people will retreat in their rooms; However, Xu Aotian's so-called retreat is actually a kind of pure cultivation, and it is no longer possible for his body to improve the strength of the martial vein, and he has continued to stabilize at the level of the seventh stage of my king realm.

Xu Ning's sudden appearance broke Xu Aotian's peace of cultivation, if it was usual, he would definitely be very unhappy to be disturbed, but now that he sees Xu Ning, he has forgotten all his troubles.

took Xu Ning's hand and walked into his room, his heart fluctuated, and he had something to say.

"Grandfather, how is your health these days?" Xu Ning said excitedly after walking down.

"Haha! Well, that's good! Now I almost don't care much about the affairs of the Xu family, and I can enjoy Qingfu with you outside! Xu Aotian said with a hearty smile.

"That's good, it's good to leave something to Tianyang and Eighth Uncle. You've worked so hard for so long, it's time to rest. Xu Ning said emotionally.

"Alas, when I saw you, I remembered Lao Jiu, it's really getting more and more alike." Xu Aotian also said a little emotionally.

Seeing that the two of them were about to shed tears, this was not what Xu Ning wanted to see, he hurriedly grinned and said, "I didn't expect that I was going to Rashomon to deal with some things." Who knows one after the other. I've been busy until now! I just walked around the Nanzhou Empire before, especially on the border of the Empire, and encountered a lot of interesting things. ”

Xu Aotian nodded and said, "Hmm." Men should go out and walk more. It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. A little more experience at a young age will be good for you in the future. Speaking of which. Your personality is somewhat similar to your father's, with a strong sense of justice but not pedantic, and you are strategic and principled in doing things. So I'm not worried about you getting out. Having said that, you, the patriarch, are not very competent, if it weren't for your eighth uncle and Tianyang, I really don't know what to do! ”

"Yes, it's really hard for them, I didn't meet them when I came back, I guess it's an errand!"

"Well, the armaments purchased by the empire are about to be delivered, but I haven't paid attention to these things, and when they come back, you can talk to them properly."

Xu Ning nodded, but it was not a taste in his heart.

Now he began to hide it from his grandfather, although he was afraid that he would worry, but it also proved that the head of the family, who had once been shocked, gradually dissipated, and his sharpness gradually decreased.

The world is out of my generation! Sooner or later, the old will be replaced by the young, although this is a natural law, but it is still a little sad to say.

Before you know it, the moon has sprinkled the ground with brilliance in the courtyard, as beautiful and clear as flowing water.

Candles were lit in the room, and from the dark sky to the middle of the moon, Xu Ning and his grandfather Xu Aotian chatted for more than an hour, and the sound of laughter came from time to time.

Seeing that it was not early, Xu Aotian said: "I've been in Bigu recently, so I don't need to eat, you just came back or take a good rest, it's not early, go back first, I have something I want to talk to you about in a few days, and I'll talk about it when you come down." ”

Xu Ning nodded, what his grandfather didn't want to say, he rarely inquired.

Stood up and stretched, said goodbye to his grandfather, and turned to his room.

Xu Ning walked very slowly, and this familiar environment seemed to him to have a completely different feeling. I grew up in this courtyard since I was a child, and after so many years, I am already a thing.

People can't be as static as these scenes, whether it's appearance or mood, as growth continues, there will always be some fluctuations in the heart. People who can control their own demons can be regarded as worthy of their own lives!

With such worries, Xu Ning slowly paced and came to the door of his room.

There was a light inside, but there were two people's breath!

Xu Ning's vigilance was very high, and he got in from the door in a flash, although his hand was behind his back, he was ready to shoot at any time! Yan Bing was alone in the room, could it be someone from the Dongzhou royal family who sneaked in?!

"Door Master!"

As soon as Xu Ning looked up, he saw that the black wolf demon beast standing in the room was Xiaotian!

"Howling! Why are you here?! Xu Ning quietly dissipated the electric light ball behind him, patted him on the shoulder, and said very unexpectedly.

"Door Master, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Xiao Tian said excitedly, "Why don't you come back to see your brothers?" ”

"Oh, I just came back and went to my grandfather's. How about the brothers? ”

Xu Ning was also very happy, he originally planned to go to the Qilin Mountain Range in a few days to find the demon beast brothers of the Hundred Beast Gate, but he didn't expect the black wolf Xiaotian to take the initiative to come over, it seemed that he had something to tell him.

"Everybody's fine, it's just ...... Forget it, I can't tell, you better come with me! The Lion King and others are waiting for you! ”

"Is something wrong?!"

"No, I said it, we're all fine, we should discuss the crisis of the Xu family!" The black wolf said with a frown.

"Oh, this ......" Xu Ning looked at Yan Bing in embarrassment.

"Brother Xu Ning, your affairs are all big things, let's deal with them first, I'm fine." Yan Bing smiled. Said very calmly.

"Okay!" Xu Ning sighed and said, "You will rest in my room tonight, and I will notify the doorman to add some guards!" ”

"Don't worry, the door master, after nightfall, the demon beast assassin group will patrol around the false area, of course, it is all quiet, and even the people of your Xu family don't know." The black wolf said with a smile.

"The Assassins?"

"Don't ask, go to the place and let the lion king tell you!"

Xu Ning was helpless, and instructed Yan Bing a few more words. Only then did he walk out of the field with the black wolf Xiaotian. Quickly follow the path of the back mountain and run to the depths of the Qilin Mountains.

The Qilin Mountain Range is simply a small soul continent!

It's also a bizarre world, especially after spring, when all life begins to sprout again. All kinds of precious immortal herbs exude a strong aroma in the moonlight. And the animal monsters whose hibernation has long ended. Arrogant activity began, too. As soon as he walked into the Qilin Mountains, a strong wild aura permeated Xu Ning's surroundings, stimulating the belligerent hormones in his body. The secretion of male hormones also seems to be more vigorous.

"It's strange, the demon beasts of the Qilin Mountain Range seem to be a lot quieter!" Xu Ning and the black wolf demon beast said as they flew forward.

At this time in previous years, because it was not long after the beginning of spring, the entire Qilin Mountain Range was like a pot, and the power that the demon beasts had accumulated for a winter was about to be released, and the valley was filled with all kinds of roars and private fights, especially in order to snatch the reproductive power of female demon beasts, the war between male demon beasts could be said to be earth-shattering.

When it was so noisy, the people of the Xu family couldn't sleep peacefully at night!

You must know that there is an ultimate demon beast equivalent to the supreme realm of human martial arts ability hidden here, and the ability is not ordinary strong!

"Master, have you forgotten? Our brother lives in this Qilin Mountain Range, do these animal-based demon beasts still dare to run rampant? The black wolf said proudly.

"Oh, I just ignored that. However, don't make too much trouble, the number of demon beasts in the Qilin Mountain Range is well known, and if it is too abnormal, others will suspect it. Xu Ning said with a smile.

"Don't worry, door master, we are measured!"

After flying by half a pillar of incense, he finally arrived at the secret stronghold hidden in the Qilin Mountain Range.

When the demon beasts of the Hundred Beast Gate arrived here, it was already winter, and now the surroundings of this place were already lush and green, and the appearance looked very different. After falling from the sky, Xu Ning also found that there were more traces of man-made here, some small buildings were added in front of the cave, as well as stone tables and chairs, etc., and a corridor in front of the cave looked more like an inn.

It's just that no one else will come into this inn.

"Haha, door master, you finally appeared! We also said if we want to go to the border to meet you! ”

I haven't seen Gui Hao of the Lion King Nine Domains for a long time, and his speech and actions are still the same hearty! Xu Ning's mood suddenly broadened, and all the demon beast brothers gathered around when they heard the news of Xu Ning's coming.

"Door Master! You're really not funny, you haven't heard from you for so long. ”

"Door master, there is a lot of trouble this time, I heard that the trilateral cities have been destroyed, have you also formed a bond with the Dongzhou Empire?"

…… Xu Ning was overwhelmed by all kinds of voices, and he didn't know who to answer.

In the end, Gui Hao of the Lion King Nine Domains waved his hand and let all the demon beasts disperse.

"Brothers, it's not early, everyone should sleep, everyone should go to bed, patrol should patrol, I will discuss some things with the doorman, let's disperse!"

Demon beasts are different from people, they don't have so many thoughts, and as soon as the lion king said this, everyone else didn't ask and scattered.

"Lion King, why are you in such a hurry to come to me? Still, you're well informed! I just came back and found out? Did Tianyang notify you? ”

"Of course not, we are busy with our own affairs and rarely communicate. As soon as you return to Breeze City, you are discovered by your brothers from the Assassin Order, who come back to report it. ”

"Could it be that you're talking about the Demon Beast Assassin Regiment? Hehe, what the hell is going on? ”

"Actually, it was only established in the recent past." The Lion King sighed and said, "Sect Master, the trouble you caused this time is too troublesome, the Dongzhou Imperial Family is not so easy to mess with!" I don't know what you used to make them dare not come openly, but the killer in the shadows has never stopped. I discussed with Xu Tianyang that the Demon Beast Brothers formed a special group of assassins to fight back against those masters in the shadows, and they started from the light to fight against the guys who repeatedly attacked the Xu family's caravan. I've been told that they've won their first battle and should be back by this time. ”

Xu Ning nodded, he participated in this matter, and he didn't hide it from the Lion King, and said it 1510.

"I see!"

The lion king Gui Hao nodded and said, "Then I don't need to talk nonsense, but there is one more thing, I have to sue you!" (To be continued......)
