That's it. ”

A guard on the side looked at the disappearing back in the mansion heartily, and continued: "If it were me, it would be necessary to carry a large sedan chair, otherwise I would never go out, and (shēn) would have to be full of those gold ornaments, where can it be so ordinary." ”

"Tsk, you can shut up, don't we Lord Zhou dress so plainly, and the city lord is an old man, if he is listened to by others, his heart will not be guaranteed."

As soon as these words came out, several people suddenly quieted down, as quiet as a chilling cicada, but the intoxicated watch (qíng) on their faces sold them cleanly.

At this time, Xu Yan and Zhou Sheng, who were being discussed by them, were still walking slowly.

The City Lord's Mansion is huge.

This was Xu Yan's first feeling after coming in.

He had been here before, but either he was in a hurry or he was in a carriage, and he didn't look at it carefully, but now that he had leisure, he was attracted by the various big (diàn) around him.

Although Qingzhou City is a city, as the concentration of power in this region, the City Lord's Mansion is not cold at all.

At a glance, more than a dozen large (diàn) of various types are separated on both sides of the road, which is somewhat different from the family buildings, and looks more magnificent and majestic.

There are red walls and green tiles, and there are also mahogany attics.

Surrounded by lush greenery, it exudes a refreshing atmosphere, and although it is between the high-rise buildings, it does not feel dull at all.

Xu Yan kept looking at everything around him, his eyes full of admiration.

Zhou Sheng naturally noticed his change, but he just smiled, and without much more, the two of them walked all the way, and finally stopped in front of a big (diàn).

This big (diàn) is slightly different from the others around, both in terms of outfit

The ornaments or carvings are much more exquisite, and the outside is full of guards, all with serious expressions and a calm atmosphere.

"Recently, there have been a lot of affairs, and the city lord is all dealing with them here."

Zhou Sheng said lightly, and without waiting for Xu Yan to speak, he immediately walked in slowly.

Xu Yan stood in place and was stunned for a moment, and was hesitating whether to follow up, when a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Come in."

"It's... The voice of the city lord! ”

He was suddenly shocked, this sentence seemed to sound directly in his ears, without even a hint, it appeared out of thin air, extremely miraculous.

With the amazement in his heart, he immediately walked in with Zhou Sheng.

The exterior of the big (diàn) looks very majestic, but the interior is much more plain, and there are not even any decorative items, except for a few pots of flowers and plants, only the necessary tables and chairs are left, etc., which looks a little empty (dàng).

At the very front of the large (diàn) is a knee-high dark red table

There, the old lord was sitting in the back, looking at the sheets of paper on the table.

"Son, meet the city lord!"

Xu Yan stretched out his hand to clench his fists and bowed slightly.

"Hmm."

The old city lord raised his head, and the paper on the table naturally floated to the side.

"The old man was about to ask you to come over and study calligraphy, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself, what's the matter?"

"Back to the city lord, Zijin (rì) has practiced the exercises taught by the city lord at home, and has achieved success, so I come to thank you."

"Exercises?"

The city lord slowly stood up (shēn), stroked his gray beard, and said with some doubts in his eyes: "When did I teach you the exercises?" ”

"It's the method of pouring momentum, Zi Bitter Research (rì), and I have benefited a lot, thank you to the city lord."

Xu Yan was serious, and Ying Ying bowed again, looking sincere.

The city lord's brows were furrowed tightly, and the speed of brushing his beard with his right hand became faster and faster, and suddenly, he only heard a miserable scream of "ouch", a white

The colored beard slowly floated down.

It's just that he didn't care, and after glancing at Zhou Sheng, both of them were stunned, their eyes kept flashing, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"City Lord? Brother Zhou? ”

Xu Yan shouted tentatively, and seeing that neither of them responded, a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Just as he was about to give him a further reminder, he found that both eyes were looking at him.

"Brother Yang, I don't know what your exercises are, all in all, what I taught you at that time was just simple calligraphy, so you don't need to thank me."

"But, Lord of the City, I really comprehended it, and it was derived from that method of infusion."

Xu Yan was a little anxious, for fear that the city lord would not believe him, so even if he condensed the aura in his body and wanted to demonstrate it on the spot, as soon as his hand was raised, he was pressed back by an invisible force.

"Alright, since I have spoken, then the matter is settled

You don't need to argue anymore, even if you do learn something from it, it's your own creation. ”

The old city lord smiled, and seemed to not want to discuss the matter at all.

Xu Yan was silent for a moment, nodded as if he didn't understand, and then closed his mouth in a witty manner.

Compared with thanks, the old city lord was obviously much more interested in calligraphy, and even put aside the affairs at the moment, and took Xu Yan directly into the study.

In one morning, Xu Yan wrote a total of Xu Xiang's copying posts, as well as the "One Husband and One Husband" written last time.

This time, the old city lord was more satisfied, but he still pointed out many of his shortcomings in one breath, and Xu Yan was ashamed for a while.

After a morning of communication, Xu Yan only felt that his calligraphy had improved a lot, which would have made him happy for a long time if it had been placed in the past.

Encounter white flocculent again

It's just that since he started cultivating, he has rarely touched these things.

The way of calligraphy is broad and profound, but he needs more strength at this time, this is a world of weak (ròu) strong food, and only a strong enough cultivation can allow him to fulfill his dream.

Find the truth about your parents...

In the afternoon, Xu Yan ended his calligraphy exchange with the city lord.

In fact, there is no communication, most of the time the city lord is guiding him, although he himself has a good foundation, but the city lord has been immersed in this for a long time, so naturally it is not comparable.

Most importantly, he always had a feeling that the lord of the city seemed to be practicing when he was teaching calligraphy, and he benefited a lot from a morning, but every time he asked about it, he would be prevaricated, and after a few experiences, he simply gave up the idea of asking.

The discussion of calligraphy was over, and Xu Yan had no intention of staying any longer, even if he wanted to retire.

There are a lot of people faintly visible outside the study, and it seems that there are a lot of affairs in the city recently, and many of them need to be seen by the city lord.

It's just that the calligraphy of the old city lord is almost well-known, and no one dares to disturb it for a while, so they all have to wait outside.

Xu Yan glanced at the shadows walking back and forth outside the door, coughed dryly, and was about to walk out with a straight look.

"Brother Yang."

After him (shēn), the old city lord who was still looking at the calligraphy made an abrupt sentence.

"The big competition of the three major families is about to begin, and you seem to be one of the participants."

Xu Yan turned around, nodded, and said, "Yes, Zi luckily got a place in the clan." ”

"Hehe, yes, it's still (tǐng) modest, but if you're all lucky, I'm afraid those guys will die of shame."

The city lord smiled faintly, raised his head and looked over, and continued with some emotion: "The impact of this big competition will be great, you need to pay attention, it is also amazing to hear that the Liu family has a generation." ”

"Thank you for the city lord's concern, Zi will definitely do his best to win glory for the family."

"I hope so."

The old city lord showed a look of indifference (qíng), waved his hand slightly, Xu Yan immediately understood, and walked out after clenching his fists and bowing his head.

"Alas, it's a pity..."

Behind him (shēn), a long sigh slowly drifted away.

......

As soon as he left the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Yan's (shēn) form stopped, and he looked back at (shēn) with a complicated gaze.

"The city lord seems to be teaching calligraphy, but it contains the way of cultivation, but, why does he do it in this way?"

He had some doubts in his heart, if the injection of spiritual power and momentum only made him suspicious, then everything now made him completely sure.

Although the two of them were talking about calligraphy from beginning to end, every sentence of the old city lord had a faint sense of truth, which secretly fit the path of cultivation, and after some explanation, he realized many things.

It's not about cultivation, it's more about the state of mind and the way to use Reiki.

This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, can't be a coincidence.

Thinking of the old city lord's last reminder to him, Xu Yan's heart couldn't help but warm, the two were not related, just because they had similar interests, they helped themselves like this, this kind of grace (qíng) is not small.

After pondering for a long time, he immediately bowed deeply to the city lord's mansion.

"Second son, you are..."

When he bowed, he immediately frightened the four guards guarding the door to the point that their faces turned white.

With the existence of a character like Zhou Sheng, bowing to them is no different from sending them to a funeral, if anyone suffers it, it is not something that can be solved by losing their jobs.

For a while, four people jumped two steps to the side at the same time, moving

It was extremely neat, and in an instant, the belt in front of Xu Yan (shēn) was vacated.

After bowing, Xu Yan slowly straightened up (shēn), glanced at the four guards who were far away from the gate with a slight difference, didn't ask anything, and left directly.

"Whew, it's dangerous!"

The tall, lanky man in the lead let out a long sigh and walked back to his post.

"This second son of the Yang family is too terrifying, if I weren't clever enough, I would have died twice in his hands today."

He muttered a sentence, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his head, and suddenly got wet, and just now (qíng) was in a critical condition, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.

The other three looked at each other, and they were in a similar situation, looking at Xu Yan's distant back, with a frightened expression.

At this time, on the main street of Qingzhou City, there was a lot of commotion.

Although due to the proximity of Dabi, the Yang family was deserted, and all of them were in retreat and cultivation, but the ordinary people were not affected by anything.

The pancake seller was still shouting hard, muffling the voices of the various vendors around him.

The doors of the shops are wide open all over the street, whether they are restaurants, cloth shops, or iron shops, and the wide avenue is crowded with all kinds of people, and occasionally cars and horses pass by.

Xu Yan squeezed in the crowd, looked at the flow of people around him, and raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. After all, it's only afternoon, and there's not so much to spare.

"Let's go, let's go!"

There was a sudden sound of cars and horses in front of me, as well as the shouting of the gangsters, and the crowded flow of people slowly dispersed to both sides, very consciously.

Xu Yan also stepped back a little with the crowd.

It was a very gorgeous carriage, the black carriage was full of various golden lines, shining in the sunlight (shè), there were many kinds of decorations on it, and there was a fist-sized emerald jade bead on the roof, which was very eye-catching.

Pulling the carriage was a white horse with a solid body and a good posture

Ya, with a high head, although it is a livestock, it faintly gives people a sense of arrogance.

"It's... The carriage of white flocculents..."

Xu Yan looked at the familiar carriage and raised his eyebrows.

Although the coachman changed one, the carriage was still the same, because he had been following (tǐng) for a long time at that time, and it was the first time he took the initiative to make a move, so he was very impressed.

It's just that although he guessed the shēn part of the car, his face did not change.

A bully like Bai Xu is really difficult for him to feel guilty

The carriage slowly passed in front of (shēn), and at that moment, a voice suddenly came out of it.

"Stop!"

The voice is that of a gamer (xìng), and it sounds a little old, but it is imposing.

The carriage stopped, and a somewhat short old woman stepped out of it, her movements were slow, but extremely light, no more than two

Step out and it will have fallen on the rain.

"Who are you?"

As soon as the old woman landed, she immediately looked at Xu Yan with a serious expression and a calm gaze.

Xu Yan frowned and had no words.

The old woman sneered and continued: "I just felt the gaze in the carriage, and there was still hostility, it must have been from you. ”

taunt

Her hands were behind her (shēn), her eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint killing intent permeated her.

Xu Yan frowned, when he looked at the carriage just now, he suddenly recognized it, so his heart (qíng) fluctuated slightly, but he didn't expect to be noticed.

It's just that it has something to do with him not hiding, after all, Bai Fu's cultivation is very low, and it stands to reason that even if there is a slight fluctuation at that time, he will not notice it.

The old woman seemed to have seen through Xu Yan's thoughts, and the sneer on her face became thicker and thicker.

"Looks like it's you, huh! If it weren't for the old man (shēn) being with my sister, I'm afraid I would really let you gangsters fool the past. ”

Her face was full of coldness, and she looked at Xu Yan as if she were looking at a dead person.

A faint aura fluctuation emanated from his body, and then rapidly amplified, causing the surrounding crowd to take a few steps back.

"Mid-Second Realm?"

Xu Yan raised his eyebrows, feeling the fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from the old woman (shēn), and his complexion remained unchanged.

"Granny Gong, what's wrong?"

The curtain of the carriage was pulled open from the inside, revealing a (jiāo) flattering face, which was white flocculent.

The old woman glanced at Xu Yan coldly and said, "Sister, there is an unknown thief here, who dared to spy on us just now, wait for Lao (shēn) to teach him a lesson first." ”

"Thief?"

Bai Xu's face showed a look of disgust, and then he looked at Xu Yan.

"Yo, isn't this the second young master of the Yang family?"

Bai Xu raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Yan's face (jiāo) and smiled. The three major families all know Pets well, even if Xu Yan rarely shows up, she recognizes it at a glance.

After all, Xu Yan announced to the public that he was Yang Dingshan's second son, and he could be regarded as an important person, which had nothing to do with the treatment of cultivation, the status was always there, and all families would pay attention to it.

"Well, Sister Bai."

Xu Yan looked at Bai Fu and nodded lightly, but he was a little strange in his heart.

If this white floc knew that she covered her head last time and beat her, I am afraid she would not be able to laugh.

Just as he was thinking about how to leave here with a vague sentence, the old woman snorted coldly, interrupting his thoughts.

"Humph! Since it is the second son of Yang, then the old (shēn) will sell the Yang family a face this time, and give up, but he still hopes that Yang Gongzi can do it himself. ”

Xu Yan frowned slightly, and glanced at the old woman, but it was nothing after all.

This old woman is only in the middle of the second realm, so she must not be his opponent, but once something happens, his strength will be exposed, and it is really not worth it.

Seeing that Xu Yan was silent, the old woman immediately turned around (shēn) and returned to the carriage.

"Yang Gongzi can bend and stretch, and the gamers are very admirable."

At the window, Bai Xu chuckled, and his face was a little proud.

The second son of the dignified Yang family, in front of a subordinate of the Bai family, no

Dare to say, this matter is still very face-saving, at least, that's what she thinks.

The smile on her face became more pronounced at the thought of this.

"It's just a subordinate, why should I have the same acquaintance with her?"

Xu Yan said lightly, with a puzzled look on his face.

Bai Xu's laughter stopped abruptly, looking at Xu Yan's unpretentious puzzled look, he couldn't tell that he was pretending at all, as if he was really asking her questions.

The corners of her mouth twitched twice, and one gradually became colder, and Pi Xiao (ròu) said without smiling: "Yang Gongzi is humorous (tǐng)." ”

"No, I'm really asking you, I don't think I want to meet your subordinates, what do you think?"

"Hehe, Young Master Yang, some words are not good."

Bai Xu's face was completely cold, and he didn't even bother to pretend to smile, and said lightly: "Maybe, after the two major competitions, you may not even have the qualifications to talk to Granny Gong." ”

"Yes."

Xu Yan's face did not change, and he said lightly.

Bai Xu glanced at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said in a strange manner: "Tsk, it seems that there are some things that you don't know yet, forget it, you can live a little better this way, lest you have insomnia, enjoy your last good time, after the big competition, these will not be there." ”

When it was over, the curtain of the carriage fell, and a shout sounded, and the splendid carriage continued to move forward.

The crowd around them quickly dispersed to facilitate the passage of the carriage, after all, the Bai family (shēn) was one of the three major families, and these ordinary people could not afford to mess with.

Xu Yan glanced at the carriage that was gradually moving away, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he groaned for a long time before returning to the Yang family.

In the next two, he did not focus on cultivation, but was constantly injecting aura and momentum.

Injecting aura is very simple, this is the main attack method of the First Realm monk, but it becomes extremely difficult to incorporate the momentum into it, although he can do it, but there are still some deficiencies in speed and coordination (xìng).

Fortunately, after two consecutive years of hard training, there are some results.

At the same time, the big competition of the three families has finally officially begun

Finish.

The lists of the participating families have been announced, and in line with the news they got before, Bai Heng of the Bai family and Liu Xunfei of the Liu family are on the list.

Even if they had already been mentally prepared, the few people in the Yang family who participated in the competition were all slightly depressed except for Xu Yan.

The venue of the competition was in the largest martial arts arena in Qingzhou City, which belonged to the City Lord's Mansion, and it was specially lent out this time.

It was still early, but the surrounding area of the martial arts field was surrounded by a crowd of good things early, and the three major families each occupied a position, and the remaining vacancy was reserved for the city lord.

The arena is huge, with a diameter of 100 meters and a makeshift stand around it that can accommodate thousands of people.

Yang Dingshan stood at the front of the Yang family area, looking at the crowd of people who were constantly entering around him, his expression was calm.

Xu Yan walked over slowly, looked at the worry in Yang Dingshan's eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint the Yang family." ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The face that had always been rigid suddenly showed a smile, and there was a feeling of incongruity, but Yang Dingshan saw it, but his heart warmed.

"Xuan'er, this burden has fallen on you (shēn)."

"Don't worry, uncle."

Xu Yan nodded, glanced at the direction where the Bai family was located, and suddenly said, "Uncle, when I come to play, can I make a bet with the Bai family?" ”

"Bet on what?"

"The second half of the Eye Rule!"

Xu Yan's face returned to its usual seriousness, and his eyes flashed.

He had felt it when he had cultivated the eye method before, only the upper half of the defect was too big, and as his understanding of the eye deepened, this feeling became more and more intense.

Yang Dingshan was stunned for a moment, how could he not know his thoughts, and pondered for a long time, then said: "Okay!" Rest assured, whatever happens, the Yang family will stand behind you. ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The lord of the castle appears

After all the people of the three major families entered, the cries in the arena finally reached their highest point.

Most people don't know the meaning of this big competition, just think of it as a more exciting game, come and make a fuss, although it's not about themselves, but it's still good to see the top children of the three major families fighting each other.

The thousands of auditoriums were packed, and even the aisles were blocked.
