The sky is dark, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

In the darkness, outside Jingsha Village, which was covered with loess, there was a sound of broken footsteps.

The footsteps were so soft that they were hard to hear, even in the dead silence of the night.

"Rustling ......"

At the entrance of the village, more than a dozen security guards carrying brand-new shovels and shovels, under the leadership of two drivers, looked nervously looking around, pinching their hands and feet and walking towards the back mountain.

"Crunch!"

As everyone reached the middle of the village, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Boom......"

More than a dozen people flashed violently, hiding in a dark corner and hiding.

"Ah......h

A long yawn was heard.

Then, the door opened.

A young man came out of the room with the lights on, stood on the street, looked left and right, and unscinated his trouser belt.

In the village, there was silence.

Except for the sound of peeing, there was no other sound.

After a while, Huzi half-squinted, glanced left and right again, and then yawned again and returned to the room.

In the room, the lights went out.

More than a dozen people hiding in the darkness still did not move.

It was only after ten minutes that the figure hiding in the darkness was revealed, and it continued through the village towards the back hill.

Without interference, more than a dozen people soon came to the back mountain.

"It's all good for me, it's this kind of tree, dig it when you see it, and take it all away."

The lead driver pointed to a tree and whispered.

More than a dozen security guards, under his instructions, immediately scattered everywhere and began to dig frantically.

This digging is two hours.

Two o'clock in the morning.

The entire back mountain was dug into a pit, and the trees that originally covered the entire mountain were all dug out, tied together, and carried in the hands of more than a dozen security guards.

"Send the tree back to the car and wait for me in the car."

After digging the tree, the main driver immediately gave the order.

After all the security guards left, the main driver turned his head to look into the distance, and then pulled out a map from his trouser pocket.

"Aren't we leaving?"

The co-pilot asked in a low voice.

"Their mission is done, ours is not."

The main driver pointed to a red dot on the map and said, "The company instructed that you must go to this cave to have a look, and you must invite the people in the cave back." ”

"People who live in caves?"

The co-pilot was stunned.

"Hehe, I heard that he is a strong man in China, and we can be safe and secure with him."

The main driver grinned.

Immediately, I followed the route on the map and walked over.

Soon, the two came to the halfway point of a mountain.

"This is it."

Because of the distance from Jingsha Village, the main driver no longer deliberately lowered his voice, but pointed to the huge and dark cave in front of him and laughed.

The two then entered the cave.

After turning around the cave, he didn't find it for four seconds, only a pair of human bones and a huge ugly corpse under the clear water pool.

Half an hour later, the two walked out carrying a giant python and a skeleton.

Take advantage of the night and leave quickly.

Early the next morning.

Sirens whistled, and a succession of seven or eight police cars drove into Jingsha Village.

Under the leadership of the village party secretary, all the villagers and the police went up the back mountain together, looking at the devastated mountain and the potholes.

Every villager's face showed a look of incomparably angry.

All the policemen frowned tightly.

……

January 24, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The ancestral hall of the Du family is booming.

On the street, fireworks and crackling.

"I don't know how many years, our family has not gathered together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner like this, and now Zhong'er has rebuilt the ancestral temple, and in the future, our family will have the appearance of a family."

Sitting in the first place in the main seat, Grandpa Du looked at everyone with a red face and announced: "I declare that from now on, this is the foundation of my Du family." ”

"Okay."

The family was festive and accommodating.

"By the way, Dad, Xiao Zhong has also done a lot of things for the family during this time, do you think you will pass on the position of the head of the family to Xiao Zhong today?"

After drinking a glass of wine, Du Zhong's uncle, Du Chengxiao opened his mouth and said.

"I'll pass it on, but before passing it on, I still have to see what Zhong'er means."

Grandpa Du looked at Du Zhong with a smile on his face.

Du Zhong was stunned.

Sure enough, when the whole family got together, the first thing they talked about was family affairs.

"I think the time is just right, although over the years, Dad has been the head of the family, but most of the chores in the family are handled by the eldest brother, and now the head of the family is passed on to Xiao Zhong, and Dad and eldest brother can also be more relaxed."

Du Yuhe's father, Du Chengsheng echoed.

"However, Xiao Zhong is still old now, and if he passes on the position of the head of the family to him so early, I am afraid that it will attract criticism."

Du Zhong's father, Du Chengdi spoke.

For a moment, everyone looked at Du Zhong.

Waiting for Du Zhong to make a statement.

"Grandpa, I don't think I'm up to the task."

Du Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Although I have obtained the inheritance of my ancestors, my achievements in orthodox Chinese medicine are not high, I want to wait for me to learn from Master for a period of time to improve the strength of orthodox Chinese medicine." ”

"Yes."

Grandpa Du nodded, opened his mouth and said: "That's right, what every Chinese medicine family shows in front of the world is not the real inheritance, but the strength of orthodox Chinese medicine. ”

"Before I became an orthodox Chinese medicine student, things in the family would have to trouble my grandfather and uncle."

With that, Du Zhong raised his glass and stood up, and drank it all.

"It's all a family, what's polite."

Du Chengxiao glanced at Du Zhong, and then laughed and said: "As a member of the Du family, it is natural to do things for the family, and with my body, even if I am tired for a few years, it will be no problem." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

Du Zhong nodded in acknowledgement.

"Well, don't say it in advance, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, let's have a prosperous New Year."

Grandpa Du said with a red smile on his face.

Then, the atmosphere instantly became hot, and the family was happy.

"Ah, it's snowing."

Before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was finished, Du Yuhe's excited shouts came.

The family turned their heads to look.

I saw that in the garden outside the ancestral hall, the snow was fluttering all over the sky.

A heavy snowfall made the already excited crowd even more cheerful.

After eating.

Du Zhong walked alone into the garden and felt the snow falling heavier and heavier.

The face that was originally full of stability gradually became calm.

"There is still a month, and it is the day when the dragon yang fruit is ripe......"

In the snow, Du Zhong glanced down at his lower abdomen, frowned, and sighed secretly.

Is the Longyang Fruit that Wang Renyi found safe?

Will someone else find it?

During this time, Wang Renyi did not mention the news about Longyang Fruit to Du Zhong.

Whether the fruit is ripe or not is the most concerned issue of Eucommia.

After all.

He spent half of the remaining year to treat Wang Renyi's great-granddaughter.

It's a gamble.

He didn't even know what the dragon yang fruit looked like or where it was.

If the bet is right, the cold poison can be cured.

If he is wrong, he may end up here in this life.

"Alas......"

Thinking about it, Du Zhong sighed lightly and shook his head, put on a smile on his face, turned around and walked back to the ancestral hall.

Chinese New Year's Eve was spent in the laughter of the family.

Early the next morning.

Du Zhong got up early, took the New Year's goods that had been prepared, and went to greet Qin Lao and Mu Lao for the New Year.

Because of the first day of the new year, the church was not opened.

As early as when Du Zhong was apprenticed to Qin Lao, Qin Lao moved the spirit card of the ancestor of the Qin family to the Seed Hall, so Du Zhong judged that Qin Lao must be in the Seed Hall.

However, when he came to the plantation hall, he found that the door of the plantation hall had been locked from the outside.

Confused, Du Zhong called Qin Lao.

"Master, where are you?"

As soon as the phone rang, Du Zhong asked.

"On your Master Mu's side."

Qin Lao's laughter came from the phone.

It seems that he and Mu Lao seem to be chatting energetically.

"Oh, I'll be right here."

Du Zhong answered and hung up the phone.

Then, he ran directly towards Mu Lao's small courtyard.

When he came to the gate of the courtyard, Du Zhong really found that Qin Lao and Mu Lao were sitting in the courtyard drinking, both of them were full of red light and looked energetic.

"Master."

stepped forward, Du Zhong bowed to the second elder first, and then handed over the prepared New Year's goods to the second elder one by one.

"I'll just say, he will definitely come to us for the first time, don't you believe it?"

Elder Qin smiled and looked at Elder Mu.

"It's for you, or why wouldn't he just call you and not me?"

Mu Lao pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Du Zhong, and said, "Come on, come on, tell me, why do you keep calling Lao Qin, but you just don't call me?" ”

Eucommia suffocated.

Immediately smiled bitterly.

"Aren't I afraid of disturbing the two masters' Yaxing?"

Du Zhong explained, hurriedly stepped forward and poured a glass of wine, and said: "On the first day of the new year, don't be tired, I will be punished and punished......"

As he spoke, he drank all the wine from his cup.

"Haha."

Qin Lao laughed.

He naturally knew that Du Zhong meant that he told Mu Lao not to be tired, that is, he didn't want Mu Lao to use him to practice.

A glass of wine, skip a beating.

Worthwhile.

"Hmph."

Mu Lao snorted, although his tone was dissatisfied, but his face still showed a rare trace of stability.

"As punishment, I'll be here with you today."

Du Zhong smiled and opened his mouth.

"That's pretty much it."

Mu Lao sat down stupidly, thought about it and added: "What punishment is not punished, after the New Year, let you accompany us as a punishment?" ”

"No, no, no."

Du Zhong hurriedly shook his head and said, "As a teacher for one day and a father for life, it is natural for me to accompany the two masters." ”

Hearing this, the two elders looked at each other and smiled.

Both of them showed a look of relief on their faces.

In fact, Du Zhong knows that although it is the New Year, every family is prosperous, but the two elders can only rely on each other as companions, and I don't know how many times the two elders have spent such a Spring Festival.

Now that he is here, he naturally can't let the second elder continue to be so lonely.

It's a pity that no matter how Du Zhong invited, the second elder was unwilling to go back to Du's house with Du Zhong.

In desperation, Du Zhong had to stay.

After accompanying the second elder to dinner, Du Zhong returned to the ancestral hall of the Du family.

Night.

"It's time."

Sitting on the bed in his room, Du Zhong took a deep breath and pulled out a roll of parchment from his trouser pocket.

"Jindan Three Realms."

Opening the parchment roll, Du Zhong's eyes flashed with a hint of essence.

After Mobei got this parchment scroll, Du Zhong had not studied it carefully.

Now that he has already succeeded in building his foundation, it is time for him to officially start practicing the next exercises.

"The first realm, Phantom Pill."

Du Zhong looked carefully at the first one.

Illusion is real, Dan is gathering.

If the foundation is successfully built, you can try to gather the energy of the whole body in the dantian.

With energy as the flow.

Converge into Dan.

With Dan as the source.

Control the world.

Looking at the simple overview, Du Zhong's brow gradually furrowed.

"The location of the cold poison is in the lower abdomen, that is, directly above the dantian, if you want to gather all the energy in the dantian and condense it into a dan, I am afraid that it will encounter a lot of obstacles, and it may even break out due to the cold poison......"
