In a hurry, another month passed, and it was the day of the winter solstice in a blink of an eye, and most of the trees in the Chu family's mansion had finished their leaves, leaving only bare trunks, and white snowflakes were hanging on them, which seemed to have a unique scenery, and the road, roof, and lake seemed to be covered with a layer of white veil.

The sky was bright, Chen Changxiao and a few others stood up from the lake, the fluorescent green pool water became colorless, since I found some medicinal materials here, the sword spirit once again refined more than seventy-seven forty-nine bottles of spiritual liquid, because the medicinal materials were all high-grade medicinal materials taken from the warehouses on both sides, especially the ninety-year-old demon beast inner pill, the extra medicinal effect was enough to refine more than a dozen bottles of spiritual liquid.

Chen Changxiao was in a good mood when he got so much spiritual liquid, if he continued like this, the pill liquid medicine or something, for himself and his eyes were completely as much as he wanted, plus his own special physique, in a year, it would be no problem to break through to the Holy Sect Realm, and now, just a few days ago, Chen Changxiao's terrifying speed of absorbing the Heaven and Earth Lingqi made him break through the first layer of cultivation again, and he had reached the top grade of the Yuan Dao Realm!

As a thousand-year-old fox demon, Jiujiu was also extremely shocked to see such a scene, if it was himself, even if he had the conditions to use such a spiritual liquid to practice every day, it would take half a year to break through to say the least, and if he reached the Holy Sect Realm, it would take at least a year.

Jiujiu went to Gu Ye's room again to look for him late at night on the day of Chen Changxiao's breakthrough, Gu Ye seemed to have guessed this time, and sat directly in front of the door, specially waiting for her to come.

Jiujiu was also stunned when he saw it, Gu Ye stood up and patted the snowflakes on his buttocks, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "Let's go, old witch." ”

Jiujiu wanted to smile at him, but when he heard him call himself like that, he kicked him in the ass.

"Who are you talking about, bad old man?!"

......

Under the lake pavilion that night, Gu Ye rubbed his ass that hurt a little, Jiujiu conjured a tail and stretched it out in front of him to stroke it, and said with a smile while watching the goldfish swim around in the lake: "Old man, what you said last time counts." ”

"What did I say?" Gu Ye pouted angrily, obviously the kick made him a little angry.

"Take me and Wu Forget to find the Three Emperor Yama. “

"Don't you believe it?"

"I've always believed it. ”

"Cut, who is the Third Emperor, do you think he will come out to see me?"

"Indeed, he will not see you. Jiujiu turned his head to look at him, but he was not polite.

Gu Ye glanced at her and listened to her continue: "He will meet Chen Changxiao, so he will come out to see you in a row." ”

"How did you know he would meet my apprentice?" Gu Ye narrowed her eyes, thinking she would guess something.

"Intuition. ”

"Intuition?"

"You are not simple, Chen Changxiao is not simple, I know that your master and apprentice must have something to hide from us. ”

"Oh, tell me?" Gu Ye's hand was removed from his ass, no longer in pain, and he looked at her with interest.

"I can't tell, but if I didn't guess wrong, the spiritual power in Chen Changxiao's body is full of five elements, right? In addition, more than 20 years ago, I hadn't crossed the human body, and I got it from the mouth of the underworld that there was a human with the five elements physique named the Lord of the Burial Sword Abyss, who had cultivated the secret method of the underworld, the ghost talisman, and the art of necromancy! That person, if I guessed correctly, his name was Chen Qing? Chen Changxiao is also surnamed Chen, the last time I went to the Colosseum, I hid behind his back, and I couldn't guess the pure yin and yang qi wrong, it was from his body!"

Jiujiu retracted his tail, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said: "The five elements of spiritual power coexist, and there is only one possibility on this continent, which is the physique possessed by the legendary creator Xingtian, the Five Elements Yuan Body!"

After that, the smile on Gu Ye's face disappeared, and he asked tentatively, "And then?"

"No, I don't want to know whether these speculations are true or not, and I won't ask if there's anything you can't say, but I just hope that you promise me that you won't let you down. ”

Jiujiu kept looking at the moon and never turned his head, Gu Ye smiled lightly, turned his back, looked up and said, "At that time, Yan Luoken will not help you, that is his business, I can only take you to see him at most." Also, your guesses are all right, and as for the rest, you will naturally know when the time comes. “

After speaking, Gu Ye raised his feet and walked away, Jiujiu didn't speak again, and kept looking at the moon until the sun rose.

......

On this day, after several people woke up from the lake and cultivated as usual, as Chen Changxiao, who had the highest grade cultivation in the Yuan Dao Realm, he had already practiced the Heaven Shaking Pole Five Folds to the peak, and the Seven Shadow Steps naturally reached the highest one and fourth in the fragments!

And Chu crossed the bridge, Chen Changxiao saw with his own eyes the exercises and mental methods he made, at that time an extremely domineering and dangerous exercise, listening to his own words, it was called the Ten Punishment Knife Technique and the Forgetful Heart Method.

Chen Changxiao didn't understand, the sword spirit told him that although these two methods belong to the spiritual product, but that is only the surface, and after practicing it to the fullest, it will be at least a heavenly product, if these two cheats are grouped together, it can be regarded as a forbidden technique! If it is practiced, there is nothing to turn back, either it is a great success, or it becomes a waste.

After Chen Changxiao heard this, he specifically found an opportunity to ask Chu Guoqiao, and he told himself that this exercise and mental method were indeed forbidden techniques inherited by the Chu family for a hundred years, and in the past hundred years, no one had practiced it, and they were either eaten back, or their bodies were increasingly eroded by it until they died.

"Then why do you still have to practice?" Chen Changxiao was puzzled, he was really angry, if Chu crossed the bridge and had three long and two short, he didn't want to see that result.

Chu Guoqiao smiled faintly, his expression was immediately firm, and explained: "Since you have chosen martial arts, you have to really gamble, just like Brother Xiao, who chooses to be a savior regardless of everything, I also want to protect my family!"

Chen Changxiao was silent, and immediately asked the sword spirit to explore Chu Guoqiao's tendon dantian, Chen Changxiao himself could investigate, but he didn't know what the physical state of practicing the forbidden art was, and the sword spirit told him that because of the continuous quenching of the spiritual liquid, the power of the counterattack in the exercise and the mental method was suppressed, and it was constantly weakened, if it continued, it would not be long before he would truly practice the Ten Punishment Sword Technique and the Forgetful Heart Method, in Chu Guoqiao's words, he was the first person to practice these two methods in a hundred years.

Hearing this, Chen Changxiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his heart was like this.

......

About an hour passed, and the chief housekeeper of the Chu family hurriedly came to cross the bridge and hurriedly shouted the second young master.

Chu Guoqiao came back to his senses from the practice, and quickly came to the gate of the mansion with his body and mind spreading.

"What's the matter?" Chu asked across the bridge.

"Second young master, the head of the family has an order, and immediately go to his mansion to inform him of an emergency. ”

Chu Guoqiao nodded, thinking that he was talking to himself again about some useless words, so he strode out in response, and the housekeeper Chu stopped him when he saw the situation, and said: "Second young master, slow down, the head of the family also said to ask Chen Gongzi to go with him!"

For a long time, in the main room of the head of the family's mansion, there were five housekeepers of the Chu family, three elders, Chu Shi, and Chen Changxiao and several others.

Chu Shi saw that everyone had arrived, and he didn't sell it, so he took out a letter of edict and said lightly: "Elders, housekeepers, and a few distinguished guests. “

When talking about Chen Changxiao and a few people, he deliberately stared at it a few times and said: "This matter has nothing to do with a few people, but as a friend who crossed the bridge and a friend of my Chu family, it doesn't hurt to know it, it's not a secret." “

Chen Changxiao smiled and replied: "Please tell the head of the Chu family about something, if we can help, we will do our best." ”

Chu Shi smiled lightly, after all, such a genius can have something to do with his Chu family, which is something that many families envy.

But having said that, Chu Shi didn't get happy because of this, but was a little melancholy, because what he wanted to say, obviously Chen Changxiao and them couldn't help, and after thinking for a while, he sighed and said slowly

"I don't sell Guanzi either, there is an edict from the imperial court, which requires me to summon cultivators above the lower grade of 50,000 yuan from Sangzhou within half a year, and send them to the western border to fight the war. ”

"What?50,000?!"

Hearing this, one elder slapped the table, a little incredulous, as did the other two elders and the butler.

Chen Changxiao was also stunned, and his heart trembled, filling the army to resist the war, going to the west to fill the army to resist the war, isn't this an obvious start of war? Since the soldiers who are looking for recruits have been recruited to the east, presumably the imperial court has been planning for a long time, just waiting for the soldiers and horses to be fully prepared to provoke a war!

When Jiujiu heard this, his face immediately became gloomy, the land facing west is the place where the beast clan gathers, and the Great Sage Heavenly Dynasty is recruiting troops everywhere at this time, obviously there is going to be a big move!

"So fast?"

Chen Changxiao clenched his right palm, the sword talisman operated, and the sound in his heart was transmitted to Gu Ye on the side. The latter pondered for a while, turned his head to look at Chu Shi, and asked, "Master of the Chu family, can the old man ask how the border battle between the west and north of the Heavenly Empire is now?"

Chu Shi thought for a while and replied: "For the time being, it's just a small war for you to advance and retreat, but half a year ago, the Celestial Empire began to order the state capitals to recruit troops, and at most one year, tens of thousands of soldiers from all over the territory of the Celestial Empire will be concentrated all over the border, according to the current situation, the imperial court is afraid that it wants to take the initiative to provoke a war and start his ambition to rule the entire continent." “

"Then does the head of the Chu family know how well the beast clan and the tribe with different surnames that have been crusaded by the Celestial Empire army are generally resisting?"

"Their strength is far above the speculation of the Celestial Empire, although the army of the imperial court has always had the upper hand, but without the blessing of the generals from all over the dynasty, they will not be able to enter, so there is such an edict. ”

After speaking, Chu Shi passed the edict out, looked at Gu Ye, squinted his eyes and asked again: "If the soldiers and horses of the whole dynasty gather in a year, how long will it take them to completely attack some places outside the border?"

"After the soldiers and horses are gathered, it is impossible to set foot on the battlefield directly, and it needs to be intensively trained, but according to the current situation, it will take as little as three years, or as many as five years, and the Celestial Empire will completely attack. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Shi touched his chin and said seriously: "This time, the royal family of the imperial court chose to make such a direct move, presumably there must be sufficient preparation, according to my understanding, those generals stationed on the border all have the cultivation of the Xuanzun Realm! This kind of strength is far more than the overall strength of the Great Yuan Dynasty and the Hades in the war of resistance! Therefore, in this world, I am afraid that it is going to change, perhaps, the Great Sage Heavenly Dynasty is very likely to complete the great cause that all dynasties could not complete, that is, to unify the continent!"
