Chapter 99: There are many ways
Chapter 99 has many solutions
Feeling the heat coming from the entrance of the cave, he frowned slightly. Although this force has helped him this time, it has been dormant in his body, and he is always a little uneasy.
"That's it, let's wait until the cultivation improves in the future and then find a way to figure it out."
Xu Yan sighed.
At this time, he had already understood the gap between himself and that power, and there was definitely no way to take it in a short period of time. Since this power has been dormant in the body for more than ten years, there is no need to be too anxious.
The most important thing is that just when that power rushed out, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, very brief and vague.
It's a feeling that comes from the soul.
…
After putting away the tattered book, Xu Yan did not linger.
After leaving the fork in the road, he walked out of the land (jìn) directly, and with this book, there was no need to pick other exercises.
When he came out, Yang Xiao and the four of them were waiting outside.
"Xu Yan, why have you been delayed inside for so long."
As soon as he walked out of the place, Yang Dingshan hurried over, and said with an anxious look on his face: "If you don't come out again, I will take the elders in to find you, and I think something happened to you." ”
He took a lot of breath, and his face was a little unhappy, but it made Xu Yan's heart warm.
"Patriarch, I'm worried about you."
"Alright, let's go over first."
Yang Dingshan shook his head and led him back to the martial arts training ground, and after (shēn), the two stone doors of (jìn) land were closed back with a bang.
"Yo, isn't this Xu Yan's brother? Why did it take so long, could it be that he had found a peerless technique? ”
As soon as he arrived at the martial arts arena, Yang Xiao (yīn) said something weird, but after being glared at fiercely by Yang Dingshan, he shrunk his neck and didn't say anything more.
At this moment, the five elders who closed the stone door and talked about it also came over.
Yang Dingshan cleared his throat and immediately said: "Okay, this exercise method has also been selected, take out all the exercises you have found, and let a few elders register it, Yang Xiao, start with you." ”
"Yes."
Yang Xiao bowed (shēn) in response, and a smile bloomed on his face
。
I saw him reach into his arms and take out a book that was pitch black, which looked a little quaint, with a lot of fine folds on the surface, and four large gilded characters in the center.
Back God Fist!
As soon as the book party appeared, there was a sudden gasp in the room.
"It's... This is a middle-grade level 3 exercise! ”
"Brother Yang Xiao deserves to be the first person of the younger generation."
"I'm afraid only he can get such a level of exercise."
The younger generation of the surrounding audience talked a lot, and the middle-grade and third-level exercises were basically unattainable for them, and even if they got it, they couldn't cultivate.
For a time, some people were shocked and some people were envious.
The five surrounding elders were also satisfied, and the praise continued. If the exercises of the middle grade and the third level can be cultivated, it will inevitably make a qualitative leap in combat effectiveness.
Even Yang Dingshan, who has been extremely strict with Yang Xiao recently, can't help it
A smile was revealed, although it was nothing, but the satisfaction between the eyebrows was obvious.
Yang Xiao raised the exercises in his hand, and glanced at Xu Yan inadvertently, with a provocative expression.
Upper grade three
"Congratulations to Brother Yang Xiao."
Xu Yan smiled slightly, hugged his fists, and looked indifferent.
"Humph!"
Yang Xiao snorted coldly and stood aside with the exercises, but his gaze remained on Xu Yan (shēn).
"Alright, Qianhuan, yours."
"Patriarch, mine is a light smoke step, a mid-grade second-grade."
"Well, it's not bad, it's not bad, haha!"
Yang Dingshan's mouth was almost at the root of his ear, and he was very happy. He was very satisfied with the harvest of the younger generation entering the land (jìn) this time, and if nothing else, in a few decades, the strength of the Yang family would increase greatly because of their existence.
In addition to these two people, Yang A (jiāo) and Yang Zhou's exercises are also good, both of them are of the middle grade, although they are not top-notch, but they are also extremely high-level.
Xu Yan stood on the edge of Zhongrao, and it was not until the end that Yang Dingshan came over and said.
"Okay, Xu Yan, take out your exercises too."
"Hmm."
Xu Yan nodded, and slowly took out the tattered book from his arms.
The devastated cover, the yellowed pages of the book, and the back that was half torn at first glance.
Yang Dingshan was stunned for a moment, and the five elders were also stunned for a moment, they didn't recognize the book for a while, and the damage on the cover was too serious to see the name.
Seeing that even the elders and patriarchs were stunned, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the audience.
"Yang... Xu Yan, hahahaha! You are... Are you going to laugh at me! ”
Yang Xiao covered his abdomen with one hand, and the entire upper half (shēn) was bent down, pointing to the book in Xu Yan's hand and said breathlessly: "Where did you pick up this broken book, are you stupid to cultivate immortals?" ”
With him taking the lead, the laughter of the children around him became louder and louder.
Many of them don't actually have any malicious intent, it's just this
The scene is really bizarre. The book in Xu Yan's hand, no matter how you look at it, looks like a waste book used as firewood in the winter (rì) of a poor scholar, especially when half of it is missing.
Xu Yan looked at the crowd around him, shook his head, and said with a serious face: "No, this is the exercise I chose." ”
At this moment, Yang Qianxue, who had always watched all this from the sidelines, came over and took the book.
"Qianxue, do you know this book?"
Yang Dingshan frowned, if he hadn't believed Xu Yan, I'm afraid he would have felt that this was an ordinary waste book, after all, this appearance was really unbearable.
Yang Qianxue took the book and looked at it for a long time, her face (yīn) was uncertain, and then she glanced at Xu Yan in a complicated way, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the book of the superior Sanpin." ”
"Superior Sanpin?"
Yang Dingshan was taken aback, and then quickly remembered something, and said, "Isn't this book lost a long time ago?" ”
"yes, I thought so too, but I had read some of the content back then, otherwise I wouldn't be sure.
”
Yang Qianxue sighed and looked at Xu Yan.
"Xuan'er, this incomplete exercise is a third-grade one, and if it is complete, the grade will only be higher. For a long time, no one in our Yang family has ever practiced, you..."
She wanted to let Xu Yan give up directly, but she hesitated for a moment in her heart, and she didn't come out after all.
Some words don't have to be straight, no, he will understand it too.
Xu Yan did understand, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he immediately shook his head firmly, and said, "Auntie, it's okay, since it is the exercise I chose, then I will definitely practice it." ”
"Practice? That's the upper grade level 3 exercises, and it's not half of it yet, what should you be? ”
As soon as Yang Xiao heard the grade of this exercise, the smile on his face did not decrease but increased, and he said sarcastically.
This level of cultivation is impossible to practice with their current strength, and the disparity is already indescribable, and Xu Yan's desire to cultivate is completely imaginary.
What's more, it's broken!
Even if the first half is cultivated, what about the bottom half?
Many of the surrounding children showed regretful looks.
Sometimes, it may not be a good thing if the grade of the exercise is too high, they have not heard of this exercise, but they can understand it from Yang Qianxue's words alone.
No one in the Yang family has ever practiced the exercises, and the crippled upper grade is third-level.
These two points have basically sealed the possibility of cultivation (xìng).
Yang Dingshan's eyes were also a little complicated, he looked at the tattered exercise book in Yang Qianxue's hand, and kept turning thoughts in his heart.
Xu Yan can currently be the biggest hole card of their Yang family, whether it is the next three major family competitions, or the Kyoto branch competition three years later, they can only rely on Xu Yan to win, in other words, his strength will directly affect the fate of the Yang family.
In addition to that, there is also the private relationship.
He weighed it in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Xuan'er, put this exercise book back, and you can go to the ground and choose a new one." ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the onlookers suddenly changed, and Yang Xiao stood up directly and said, "Father, the land of Lianwutang (jìn) is the important land of my Yang family, how can I open it again for him!" ”
Not only him, but even Yang Qianxue's face was a little shocked.
Lianwutang (jìn) has a very high status in the clan, if you don't encounter something important, you may not open it once in a few years, and this selection exercise has his rules, once chosen, you can't go back.
Comparatively speaking, the performance of the five elders was much more prosaic.
They are only responsible for guarding the (jìn) land, but the right to open it is still in the hands of Yang Dingshang.
Yang Dingshan's face was full of solemnity, he didn't explain anything to the others, he just stared at Xu Yan tightly, waiting for him to make a decision, the selection of exercises was very important, and even directly affected the future, he would definitely not let this happen to Xu Yan (shēn).
As long as Xu Yan nodded, even if there were more voices in the clan, he would use the patriarch's right to open the martial arts hall (jìn) again.
After all, the handicapped exercises of the upper grade and the third level want to be practiced almost
It's impossible...
Hearing Yang Dingshan's words, Xu Yan was stunned at first, and then showed a wry smile.
He walked to the edge of Yang Dingshan in two steps, and said softly: "Uncle, you come with me." ”
After that, the whole person walked to the outside of the martial arts arena.
Yang Dingshan frowned slightly, and immediately walked over, leaving everyone stunned.
"Xuan'er, you don't have to pay attention to their words, the matter of the exercises is related to your future, you must not be childish."
As soon as he walked over, Yang Dingshan continued to persuade bitterly, his face full of seriousness.
Xu Yan shook his head with a smile, and after glancing at the people who were still talking in the distance, he immediately said: "Uncle, actually, I have already practiced this exercise, and I have been delayed in the land for so long just to cultivate. ”
"What?"
"I've already practiced that exercise."
"You... You opened your eyes? ”
Yang Dingshan was stunned for a moment, and asked with some surprise.
Eye contact
He naturally knew something about that exercise.
The exercises of the upper grade and the third level, which are specialized in eye cultivation.
Eye, for these people to almost equal to the existence of the legend, in a distant foreign land, there are great factions, and there are people among the wealthy families who penetrate this method, according to this, this is the most desired ability of a group of people who have become earth treasure masters.
One of Yang Dingshan's hands suddenly carried Xu Yan's left shoulder, his face was serious, and a pair of eyes stared at him deadly, wanting to see something.
Xu Yan blinked his eyes twice, hesitated for a while, but still nodded lightly, and said, "That, uncle, I really practiced, if you don't believe it, you wait." ”
With that, he immediately mobilized his repeated aura and surged towards his eyebrows, where an extremely faint trace slowly appeared.
Yang Dingshan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he only felt that there was a golden light, but it was a little unreal, as if it was just an illusion.
The feeling was so faint that he needed to concentrate all his energy to feel it, and at this moment, the golden light suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Uncle, you (shēn) have a spirit box on it, which contains an elixir and a treasure seal, which seems to be extremely powerful."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dingshan's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly glanced around.
The crowd was still far away, and no one was listening.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was shocked, and he muttered, "Yes, that elixir was found by me recently (rì) and prepared for an elder of the clan, as for the treasure seal... It's very powerful, indeed. ”
The more frightened he became, he looked Xu Yan up and down, his eyes flickering.
"According to it, the one who opens his eyes can not only absorb the aura of the earth through it, but also perceive the treasures around him, look for flowers and willows, and now it seems that you..."
Yang Dingshan didn't believe the truth at this time, when his heart was shocked, he was silent for a long time, and then said: "Xuan'er, the matter of the eye is very important, you must not mention it to others, otherwise, it may lead to killing (shēn)."
Disaster! ”
He said this with great seriousness. Xu Yandu's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but nod.
Yang Dingshan still seemed to be a little uneasy, for this simple young man who stayed in the courtyard for the rest of his life, he sighed and continued: "The origin of this eye method is not very clear, it's just because no one has succeeded in cultivating, so my Yang family has kept it safe and sound, once the secret is leaked, it will definitely cause disaster." ”
"But, uncle, isn't there something missing in this cultivation method? How can anyone still be prying eyes? ”
Xu Yan frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
Yang Dingshan's eyes flickered with a cold light, and he said softly: "No, the second half of it is also in this Qingzhou City, and it is in the Bai family, just because no one has been able to practice, so it has not set off any waves." ”
Hearing this, Xu Yan's face suddenly showed a touch of joy.
With the initial cultivation of the eye, he felt more and more the incompleteness of the exercises, and the repair became a complete curtain
Half of it is actually in Chengzheng
His heart couldn't help but stir stupidly (yù), the power of this eye was far more than what he had just shown, once it was fully cultivated, it would be of great help to him, and it might even become the most important exercise.
Yang Dingshan has been working for decades, how can he not know his thoughts, he groaned for a long time, and said slowly: "Xuan'er, I know what you are thinking, but the Bai family is also a big family in Qingzhou City, so you can't act rashly." ”
"Uncle, I know." Xu Yan nodded, his face serious. He naturally understands this truth, but it's just itching.
Yang Dingshan continued: "Let's find another opportunity in the future, and Uncle will definitely do his best to help you then." ”
After that, he glanced at Xu Yan with deep meaning, slapped him on the shoulder twice with one hand, and immediately walked back towards the martial arts arena.
Since it was confirmed that Xu Yan could practice that exercise, it was naturally impossible to go back to the martial arts hall (jìn) and change it again, but in order to hide people's eyes, Yang Dingshan still gave him some compensation in front of the public.
This includes a (shēn) method that he himself practiced before.
It is called the smoke and dust step, which is a middle grade.
Although others have a lot of grievances, they don't dare to express it because of the prestige of Yang Dingshan's patriarch.
"Hmph, what about the middle grade, after all, it's just a waste that can't be put on the table."
Yang Xiao stood in the distance, whispered a sarcastic remark, his face was disdainful, and then turned (shēn) and left.
Compensating for the middle-grade exercises, this is almost equivalent to confirming that the broken book is unable to cultivate. For a while, some of the turmoil caused by the top-grade third-level exercises quietly faded away.
As the patriarch, Yang Dingshan naturally has a hand in controlling people's hearts, and when he saw the reaction of the crowd, he was very satisfied.
This is not only for Xu Yan's safety, but also to clear hidden dangers for the family.
……
This is how the family competition came to an end.
Although because of the appearance of Xu Yan, many children have lost their competitive power, and Dabi is slightly boring, but under Yang Dingshan's deliberate adjustment,
It didn't go wrong.
As for Xu Yan, he returned to his dilapidated yard and studied hard.
The threshold for the Shangqing decision is too high, although he has some understanding in his heart, but he has never been able to grasp the essentials, and it is difficult to make progress, so that he has put most of his energy into his eyes, and the book of smoke and dust given by Yang Dingshan is also a little enlightened.
The development of the eye is extremely difficult, but the cultivation is much simpler.
In his perception, the eyes were somewhat similar to the soul absorbing beads, like a bottomless black hole, and the surrounding spiritual energy would flow into it along a strange trajectory, and then feed (shēn) the body.
And he only needs a little guidance, so that these spiritual qi will not disperse, and it will not be long before they will automatically merge into Qi Zheng
Between his eyebrows, a faint golden dot (rì) is distinct.
As for the cultivation of the smoke and dust step, in his eyes, the difficulty was no more than that.
In just two months, he comprehended it transparently and hidden
There was a hidden sense of success, which made him doubt the grade of Shangqing for a while.
"I'm about to complete the middle-grade level exercises in just two months, but I really can't even get started so far."
At this time, Xu Yan was standing in the courtyard, absentmindedly watering the grass and trees in the courtyard.
In the past two months, he has been concentrating on cultivation and has hardly ever left the courtyard.
With the help of the Spirit Absorbing Bead and the Eye, the cyclone in the body has already condensed in one hundred and twenty-four places, and the cultivation has made a lot of progress, but the further it goes, the more difficult it is for the cyclone to condense, and it is almost impossible to advance to the Great Perfection in a short period of time.
And without the suppression of cultivation, his flaws in combat will become more and more obvious.
The only offensive technique was clear, and it became a worry in his heart.
"The big competition of the three major families is coming, and I heard that the other two have talents who are not born, so if you really can't do it, you can only tell the uncle about it
Finish. ”
Invitation from the Lord
Xu Yan put the kettle in his hand aside, a little worried between his eyebrows.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Yang Dingshan came to him some time ago and told him a lot of things, including the analysis of the Bai family and the Liu family.
The strength of these two families is quite good, and there are many talents emerging in this generation, as far as we know, the Bai family's Bai Zhen, that is, Bai Xu's eldest brother, has reached the middle stage of the neighboring two realms at this time, this kind of strength, Yang Xiao will definitely not be able to deal with.
And that's just what we know so far.
Xu Yan's strength has become the last hope of the Yang family.
"If it really doesn't work, for the sake of the Yang family, I'm afraid I can only give up the Shangqing decision."
He sighed and was about to go back to the house to continue his cultivation, but at this moment, there was a knock on the dilapidated wooden door.
Xu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at the door, with some doubts in his eyes.
At this time, it was noon, he had only seen his aunt and uncle before, should he not come to look for him, could it be that he is a child of the clan?
Doubts to doubts, he walked over unhurriedly and opened the door.
"Dare to ask, is Your Excellency Xu Yan?"
A man in green clothes stood quietly outside the door, looking like the clothes of a close attendant, his face was elegant, the god (qíng) was respectful, and he also held a sign in his hand, on which the dragon and phoenix were carved, which was exquisitely abnormal, and there were two hollow characters in the middle.
Xu Yan just took a cursory look at it, and immediately recognized it, it was the city lord's token, he had seen it once, and he still had some impressions.
He immediately nodded and replied, "It's exactly below." ”
"That's fine, it took me a lot of effort to find this place." The man in Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My name is Zhou Sheng, and I came to look for you on the order of the city lord, and I want to invite you to take a trip." ”
He raised the token in his hand.
"This is a token of the city lord, he is an old man, he hasn't seen him for a long time, and he wants to discuss calligraphy with you."
The man in Tsing Yi showed a hint of envy on his face. Old City Lord Cool (ài)
Calligraphy, which is almost well-known, can be valued by his old man in this field, that is a great creation.
When Xu Yan heard this, he was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted.
For him, the old city lord is a great kindness, first absorbing the spirit beads, and then giving him cultivation experience, and single-handedly bringing him to the immortal path, which is equivalent to the grace of recreation.
Glancing at the delicate token again, Xu Yan immediately nodded, put down the kettle and closed the door, and followed the man in Tsing Yi out of Yang's house.
The City Lord's Mansion is some distance away from the Yang family, but fortunately, the man in Tsing Yi has prepared a carriage, and it doesn't take much time.
Two muscular (ròu) horses ran ahead, their hooves resting on the bluestone slabs, and the crisp and dignified carriage continued to move forward under their tugging
The shape of the carriage was very plain, and apart from a night pearl on the roof of the carriage, there was little of value.
It's just that, despite this, the cars, horses and pedestrians along the way are consciously out of the way, and they dare not be disrespectful in the slightest.
After all, the castle lord's mark on the curtain was more than any decoration
Effective.
"Brother Yang, I heard that your calligraphy attainments are extremely high, and they are quite similar to Xu Xiang." 。。。。。。。。。。。。。
