"Ma Qingshan, the commander of the Tun cavalry battalion under General Guide, is here, but you are the convoy that sent the prince of the Yue Turkic Kingdom from the border city?"

"Exactly, Cao Wentao, the deputy lieutenant of the border city, saw the commander of the horse!" Cao Yuntao hurriedly stepped forward to salute at this time.

When Zhang Xiaoxian and the other border soldiers saw it, they also came over one after another.

Ma Qingshan sat on the back of the horse peacefully, nodded slightly to the people who saluted him, and ordered his subordinates to follow Cao Wentao to check the situation of the convoy.

After the man checked it and clarified the truth one by one, the young leader's brow was not only furrowed.

said to Cao Wentao, who was standing aside respectfully: "In addition to the little prince of Yueji, how many idlers are there who come with him?"

"They are not idlers, they are very important people. Zhang Xiaoxian, who was standing on the side, looked at Ma Qingshan, who was awe-inspiring and arrogant in front of them, and had long been a little dissatisfied, but now he heard him say that the gray-robed old man who was sitting in the carriage to recuperate his injuries, and Zhang Linzi, who was unable to move, were idlers, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, and immediately retorted.

"One of them is a cultivator who helped us when we were attacked, and the other is my own brother who is physically handicapped, how can they be regarded as idlers?"

"Who are you?" Ma Qingshan couldn't help but be very unhappy when he saw someone talking to him unceremoniously, and asked in a cold voice.

"I'm Zhang Xiaoxian, an ordinary border city pawn......" Zhang Xiaoxian replied without hesitation.

Cao Wentao, who was standing on the side and listening nervously to their conversation, saw that the young Dutong's face gradually sank, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and told him about Zhang Xiaoxian's situation and the danger he encountered on the way when he came, and finally turned the danger into a disaster.

Ma Qingshan's expression eased a little after hearing this, and he was ready not to worry about the unruly young man for the time being.

The prince of Yue Ju has now been handed over intact to the people sent by the imperial court, Cao Wentao did not stop any longer, and said goodbye to everyone one by one and returned to the border city with his subordinates to hand over the order, while Zhang Xiaoxian and Zhang Linzi still followed the team to the capital.

To be honest, walking with such a guy who is arrogant and doesn't look down on them at all in his heart, Zhang Xiaoxian is indeed a little unhappy, according to his temperament, you have long taken your sunny road, and I will take my small wooden bridge.

The reason why he stayed was because the little prince of Yue Ji was very stubborn and insisted on letting them stay.

In these days, Xiao Shizi has obviously had a relationship with Zhang Xiaoxian, and his reluctance is beyond words, and it is always good to have someone of a similar age who can talk.

Probably because of that person's identity, or because he was very clear about the attitude of the imperial court towards him, the commander of the horse did not object, but according to Xiao Shizi's wishes, let Zhang Xiaoxian go with them.

Zhang Xiaoxian is not hypocritical, so he abandoned the horse and boarded the car, and every day he either chatted with Xiao Shizi or sat with Zhang Linzi, but he was also relaxed and happy.

However, he still has calculations in his heart, and some people know about this.

On this day, Zhang Xiaoxian was suddenly called into the other carriage that he had always wanted to enter, but had some scruples, that is, the car of Ji Ruyuan, the gray-robed old man who had stepped into the Imperial Light Realm.

"Young man, I heard from my little son that you are very interested in cultivation?" The gray-robed old man sat in the car, his face was no longer as ugly as it was two days ago, and it seemed that the damaged vitality in his body had begun to recover.

"Yes, sir. Zhang Xiaoxian nodded very happily and confessed.

"Actually, I've always wished I could become a practitioner, En...... At least within a few years, it's best to become a cultivator with great cultivation like you!" Zhang Xiaoxian said with envy looking at the old man.

"Hahaha! In a few years, you young man, your tone is not small," the old man laughed heartily, looked at him and said, "Do you know how many years I have cultivated from the beginning of my Yuan Consciousness to the current Imperial Light Realm?" the old man said, spreading out a palm and stretching out a few fingers for Zhang Xiaoxian to see.

"Fifty years?" Zhang Xiaoxian exclaimed.

"Fifty-six years ......"

"It takes so long, no, no......" Zhang Xiaoxian exclaimed with some loss.

"What's not going on, as long as you really want to practice, let alone fifty years, it's another fifty years, until you die, so what's the matter?" the old man looked at him and said.

"If it takes so long to have a state like yours, then wouldn't all the things I want to do be meaningless? ”

After hearing this, the old man smiled and shook his head helplessly, "Cultivating this matter, of course, is to be gradual and unhurried, what I said about the past fifty years, or under the condition that your physique is suitable for cultivation, and you have more spirituality and perseverance, if it is not, I am afraid that you will not necessarily have such attainments even after those years......"

When Zhang Xiaoxian heard this, his eyes immediately glared at the boss: "Old man, do you think I have the potential to be suitable for cultivation?"

"It shouldn't be too much of a problem to see your skills, but you can stretch out your hand and let me see ......," said the old man.

Zhang Xiaoxian hurriedly stretched out his arm and put it in front of the old man.

The old man stretched out his right hand, gently placed it on it, and slowly closed his eyes.

"How?" Zhang Xiaoxian began to feel a little nervous at this time, and stared at the old man in front of him with a pair of wide-eyed eyes.

The old man didn't answer for a long time, but the look on his face became more and more weird, and his brows frowned tightly.

"Strange! It's strange......" It didn't take long for the old man to slowly withdraw his hand, shaking his head and sighing inexplicably.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't worry, I'm not so fragile and can withstand the blow!" Zhang Xiaoxian, who already felt that something was wrong, said in a dumb voice.

"It's okay if I can't practice, I always have to live anyway, and I always have to do those things!" Although he was already very disappointed in his heart, he still cheered for himself and said stubbornly.

The old man shook his head again: "To tell you the truth, young man, I don't know if you are suitable for cultivation......

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaoxian was obviously a little stunned.

"What do you mean by that? People of your realm can't even understand this. ”

"I'm ashamed, I really didn't understand, your body is so unusual. The old man shook his head.

Zhang Xiaoxian was a little anxious when he heard this: "What do you mean, old man, you can make it clearer!"

The old man sighed lightly and explained: " In layman's terms, there are eight strange meridians in the human body, running twelve meridians, people with cultivation potential must at least pass through the eleven meridians, in order to run the vitality in the body unimpeded, and the poor qualification is ordinary people, if you want to be able to walk normally without hindrance, then you also have to pass the seven veins, but you, your situation is too unpredictable, just now I used internal force to measure the pulse for you, you actually have only five veins in the whole body are connected, according to common sense, you are in such a situation, people should be paralyzed in bed, unable to move, but your real situation is the most normal, even healthier than normal people, old decay can not understand, really can't understand！”

"Perhaps...... Am I talented?" Zhang Xiaoxian said ignorantly, scratching his head.

"Talented?hahaha, young man, you have a bit of an interesting statement, but what I want to tell you is that this may just be your good expectation, and in reality, the longer your physique is maintained, the greater the possibility of sudden danger, unless your meridians can be opened to the seventh vein. ”

"What do you mean by the old man, that I may suddenly die of a violent body at a certain moment on a certain day, or like Zhang Linzi, I can only sit in that wheelchair every day?"

The old man hesitated slightly and nodded: "Although this is very helpless, it should be like this......"

I wanted people to see if I could become a great cultivator, but the answer I got was that not only was he unable to practice, but he also had the greatest possibility of dying unexpectedly, or like his brother Zhang Linzi.

Such a result made Zhang Xiaoxian, who was originally full of hope, really suffered, although he always felt that he had been very strong all the way since he was a child, and he always thought that nothing would hit him again.

But this time, Zhang Xiaoxian was finally depressed.

At night, he lay in a simple tent for two people, and was silent for a long time without speaking.

Zhang Linzi had already noticed that something was wrong with him since Zhang Xiaoxian came back from the old man, and seeing him so rare and quiet, he had already guessed something.

didn't persuade him, just silently took out a hole flute from the package in his bag and blew it gently.

The relaxed and melodious sound of Xiao disappeared into the dark night, and the sound of insects around the tent seemed to be quiet, only listening to the beautiful nocturne and enjoying the glow from the sky. I don't know when Zhang Xiaoxian fell asleep slowly, sleeping very deeply, and the frowning brows that had been frowning during the day were slowly loosened, and there was even a hint of a smile looming at the corner of his mouth.

In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, the team continued to hurry, and Zhang Xiaoxian, who had a good night's sleep and even had an unprecedented dream.

Once again, he returned to his previous uninhibited appearance with full blood, and after discussing with Zhang Linzi for a while to go to the capital Lin'an, what to do first and where to go shopping.

Then, seeing an opportunity, he boarded the old man's carriage again.

"Sir, I may have forgotten to tell you something, maybe the fact that I may be gifted to you does exist, and I can prove it myself......"

"Tell me, why are you so stubborn?" the old man looked at the young man in front of him with some admiration on his face.

He thought that yesterday's repeated blows would make this young man not collapse, but also decadent for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that after just a short night's effort, this young man was still full of confidence and sat in front of him full of expectations.

How strong is it to be mentally ......

"What should I say?" Zhang Xiaoxian scratched his head with some hesitation, "Actually, I have always known that I have remembered everything since I was born, and this you know is a little different from ordinary people......"

"From birth, remember?" the old man sounded a little surprised at first, "you mean you've been ...... since you were a baby."

"Maybe it sounds incredible, but in fact, I have had memories since the moment my mother's belly came out, memories of extraordinary people, what happened, who I saw, what they did in front of me, I still remember it clearly, doesn't this prove that I am a little talented?"

After hearing his words, the old man not only widened his eyes that were already slightly drooping in shock, but also looked at the young man in front of him in a daze.
