Along the edge of the Taihang Mountain all the way to the north, Shang Pei and Shang Xia's aunt and nephew flew hundreds of miles and came to an inconspicuous small village.

"When did you build a village here?"

After talking about the retreat, Shang Xia looked at Cen Wu and the others who came out of the village, and asked in some surprise.

Shang Pei said casually: "Haven't you heard of the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit? But I haven't been back here for many years." ”

While walking towards the village, Cen Wu said: "Youyan Eighteen Cavalry has been crisscrossing Jizhou for more than ten years, during which there are injured, withdrawn, old, as well as family members, relatives, descendants, etc., there must always be a proper place to settle. Over time, it became a village. ”

While speaking, Cen Wu led the two to a courtyard in the village that looked very spacious.

"This is the courtyard of the third sister's house, and Miss Min and Xiao Yuanyuan have lived here for a long time. ”

Cen Wu was mainly introducing to Shang Xia, and Shang Pei was more in remembrance after entering this courtyard.

Coming to Shangfangtang, Shang Xia asked casually, "Are the others in Youyan Village safe?"

Cen Wu said with a smile: "The journey was quite smooth, everything here is simple, if the merchant boy has any needs, you can tell me, I will do our best to prepare." ”

"I don't have ......"

Shang Xia's expression changed suddenly, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"How are you?"

Shang Pei was also a little unsightly because of the wear and tear in his body, but the injuries in his body were not serious.

Shang Xia stretched out his hand to stop the two who were a little flustered, and said a little weakly: "It's nothing, just spit out a mouthful of blood." ”

Shang Pei could roughly sense the injury in his body, and said with a frown: "You are not good at the injury, and then you forcibly moved with someone, shaking the internal organs again, and then forced all the way back here, and then you were injured again." ”

Shang Xia wiped the blood from his mouth and said with a smile: "No way, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at me at that time, but whenever you and my aunt and nephew showed a little weakness, they immediately swarmed like hyenas." ”

Shang Pei nodded, and then spoke: "I haven't asked before, what kind of martial art is the palm you slapped Ye Yifan? The power is too domineering, and those who have less knowledge will probably regard it as a quadruple heavenly supernatural power." ”

Shang Xia took out a delicate wine jug from his cuffs, poured a sip of the Hundred Flowers Spirit Brew inside, and said, "What I inadvertently figured out is called ...... 'Four Elephant Palms'." In fact, with the state I was in at the time, it was impossible to give a second palm. ”

"Four elephant palms?"

Shang Pei read this somewhat strange name, but he didn't dwell too much, but nodded: "The shock of the Four Elephant Palms for those Fourfold Heavenly Martial Artists is still above your 'Gu Yu'. ”

............

Shang Xia temporarily settled in this small village.

Whether it is Shang Xia or Shang Pei, they need a period of cultivation to recover from the injuries in their bodies and their own state.

Compared with Shang Pei, Shang Xia actually needs more time to precipitate at this time.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, whether Shang Xia wants to create his own exercises or martial arts, the most difficult thing is the stage of starting from scratch.

Once he successfully took the first step, sorted out the overall framework of the "Four Seasons and Four Scenes Reincarnation Gong", and cut the first sword in the fourth-order martial arts, then all that remained was to develop, expand, and improve in this direction.

Although this process is tedious and requires a lot of time and energy for repeated trial and error, and verification, every success is the accumulation and progress of little by little.

And this feeling of being able to make people feel that they are making progress all the time, although it is very small, is very satisfying, and this feeling has fascinated Shang Xia, and gradually has a tendency to indulge in it.

If it weren't even for Shang Pei's interruption in the middle of the journey, Shang Xia might have even been in retreat in this small village for two or three years until the "Four Seasons and Four Scenes Reincarnation Gong" was completely perfected in his hands.

After Shang Xia was woken up by Shang Pei and interrupted his cultivation, he realized that more than three months had passed, and the time had come from the early spring of 846 in the Shenwu calendar to midsummer.

In the past three months, Shang Xia has not only recovered from his injuries, but his own strength has returned to his peak state, and he has even improved slightly in cultivation, refining the Four Seasons Spirit Demon a little again.

And I don't know if Shang Xia's guess is wrong, the Enlightenment Dao Incense has only been burning for an hour, but its inner afterglow has been preserved in him for a long time.

At least Shang Xia felt that the smooth cultivation during this period of time was likely to come from the original incense of enlightenment.

After Shang Xia lit the incense of enlightenment,

In one fell swoop, the weekly transportation of the "Four Seasons and Four Scenes of Reincarnation" was shortened by three and a half hours, and the time was shortened again by one moment after a month.

In the recent three months in the mountain village, although the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here is relatively thin, Shang Xia still managed to shorten the time for Zhou Tian to carry it to less than three hours.

Every time the weekly transportation cycle is shortened, it often means that the cultivation efficiency is improved.

"Is something wrong?"

Shang Xia knew that without any necessary circumstances, it was unlikely that Shang Pei would be able to wake him up from his cultivation of concentration.

"It's news from the academy, telling you to return north to Youzhou as soon as possible. ”

After Shang Pei told him the news, there seemed to be a look of hesitation in his expression, as if there was something unspeakable.

Shang Xia didn't notice Shang Pei's expression, but he heard something from Shang Pei's relays, and said with a frown: "Won't the third aunt return north with me?

Shang Pei pondered for a moment and said, "Yin Wanxiang gathered several fourth-order masters of Taihang Mountain to form the Five Mountains Alliance in the Sixth Mountain, and they have invited me to ...... several times."

Shang Xia knew that when Shang Pei was chased and killed by Ye Yifan and Zhang Luofei before, he had escaped with the help of the Five Mountains League many times, so he said: "You don't want to go, but you feel that you owe the Five Mountains League a favor?"

Shang Pei's expression was relieved when he heard this, and he sighed slightly: "I have reported this matter to the academy, and the academy also means to let me stay and join the Five Mountains Alliance. ”

Shang Xia was stunned when he heard this, and said, "The academy has other plans, the Linyuan Secret Realm has been destroyed, is the academy optimistic about the future of the Five Mountains Alliance?"

Shang Pei said: "I think it's just a game of chess to burn the cold stove." ”

Shang Pei's tone was somewhat self-deprecating.

Shang Xia frowned slightly, and his face was dissatisfied.

Shang Pei instead comforted: "Actually, it doesn't matter, over the years, I have adapted to this kind of life that is unrestrained although I am displaced, and if I really want to return to Tongyou City, I am not comfortable everywhere." ”

"Besides," Shang Pei's tone paused, and said, "How good do you think the academy's current situation can be?"

Shang Xia was stunned and looked at Shang Pei with some astonishment.

I only listened to Shang Pei Dao: "Twenty years ago, the foreign invasion, Shu, Liang, And, You, and Qing were invaded, and of course there were the five surnamed Yu of the Yueji Society, but the patriarch of the Zhu family in Youzhou secretly contributed to the fire in order to promote the fifth-order ancestor, so that more than two-thirds of Youzhou's territory was invaded, and the loss was the most of the five states. ”

Shang Xia nodded slightly, he knew most of these things, but he understood that Shang Pei must have something to do.

"Over the years, because the land in a corner of Youzhou is narrow and sparsely populated, there are many discussions in the Cangyu Realm about abolishing Youzhou, and the two states of Hebei and Erzhou are the pioneers of carving up Youzhou, but it is because Kou Chongxue has been rolling in the vault outside the sky for many years, completely giving up the face of the fifth-order ancestor, which makes people jealous. ”

When Shang Xia heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "That's why there was a matter of Kou Shan Chief returning from a serious injury in the Heavenly Vault before?, and this time the academy even did not hesitate to cooperate with the four major Cangling clans who had been fighting for twenty years, and even borrowed the 'Ling Xuan Breaking Empty Claw' divine weapon from their hands?"

Shang Pei nodded and said, "Even I feel incredible that Ji Wenlong sacrificed the 'Ling Xuan Breaking Empty Claw', there may be other reasons for this, but this must be the most fundamental one, he blocked the way of many people!"

Shang Xia hurriedly said, "What is the reason why so many people want to abandon Youzhou?

Shang Pei shook his head and said, "How can I, a person who has been outside all the year round, know about the secrets, but I think it may be related to the distribution of the origin of heaven and earth in the Cangyu Realm, and it may directly affect the number of martial artists in the Wugang Realm, right?"

The aunt and nephew talked for a long time, and exchanged cultivation experiences with each other, and Shang Xia learned another reason why Shang Pei intended to join the Five Mountains Alliance.

"So, your second Natal Spirit Evil has not been condensed to perfection, and you only want to return to Yunshui Stream and continue to collect the required Mist Evil when you join the Five Mountains Alliance this time?" Shang Xia asked.

"Not bad!" Shang Pei sighed.

Shang Xia frowned and said, "Yunshui Stream has been destroyed by most of it because of the previous war, and now the fog that does not disperse inside has dispersed, where can I still collect the fog?

Shang Pei also said helplessly: "Not to mention the 'Linyuan Mist' I need, let's call it that, it is a rare Mist, and there may not be other places." Even if there is, it may take a lot of time and effort to find it. Although the Yunshui Stream was destroyed, I had deliberately passed by its edge when I crossed the Five Mountains Alliance before, and I could detect that there was still a small amount of fog left inside. Now it's just a matter of spending some time collecting little by little, and it's better than not even having a way to collect. ”

"That

How long will it take?"

Shang Xia knew that in less than two years since Shang Pei came to Yunshui Stream, he had already collected and refined most of the second Natal Spirit Demon.

In such a situation, her cultivation improvement would inevitably be greatly delayed.

Shang Pei was a little uncertain: "This ...... It's not accurate, maybe five or seven years faster, or slower...... Ten years?"

In fact, there is a possibility that Shang Pei has not said yet, that is, even the fog that remains in the cloud stream is actually slowly dissipating, and she doesn't even have that long to collect.

To be honest, usually a fourth-order martial artist would spend three or five years collecting when he had a way, and he would definitely be able to gather a complete Heaven and Earth Spiritual Demon.

Of course, more fourth-order martial artists don't even have a way to collect the Heaven and Earth Spirits, or are on the way to find a way.

But before, Shang Pei obviously had a faster way, and he was even close to success, but at the last moment he fell short because of the arrival of the Linyuan Secret Realm, which was the most demoralizing place.

Shang Pei sighed at this time: "If only there was any way to speed up the collection of fog evil. ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, Shang Xia's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took out the mist bead he had obtained from the inheritance light group before, and said, "What do you think of this thing?"

"What is this......"

As soon as Shang Pei took it, he immediately noticed the effect of this fog bead, raised his head suddenly, and said with a happy face, "Where did it come from?"

Seeing this, Shang Xia knew that there was a door, so he told her about the fog beads and enlightenment incense that he had obtained from the inheritance light group.

"Enlightenment incense?"

Shang Pei looked thoughtful and said, "It seems that I have heard of it somewhere, and it should be a rare treasure to hear what you say." But for me, this fog bead is just in time for rain. ”

Shang Xia asked, "Is this really useful?"

Shang Pei said proudly: "I can use this mist bead to gather the remnants of the cloud water stream, if everything goes well, it will only take more than half a year to refine the second natal spirit and advance to the second layer of the four heavens." What's more, in addition to creating a sea of fog within a radius of several miles, this object seems to have been used by the Linyuan faction to collect different kinds of fog. ”

Shang Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "It's good to be useful!" But it seems that you may be able to go to the Five Mountains Alliance anyway. ”

Shang Pei smiled, and didn't seem to care about this, but said, "Actually, I also have a Linyuan Secret Realm Inheritance Light Group in my hand, and the things in it are just right for you!"

As he spoke, Shang Pei handed him a palm-sized jade plaque.

Shang Xia looked at the smooth and round jade plate in his hand, and he didn't know what the purpose of this thing was for a while.

Shang Pei said with a smile on the side: "You need to shine the jade plate with the natal light in order to stimulate the inheritance content in it." ”

Shang Xia heard that a wisp of four seasons of light bloomed directly in the palm of his hand, and the jade plate had been infiltrated in an instant, and then a four-color light curtain was thrown, on which lines of handwriting appeared densely, and even at the end, there was a deep moving image recording the production process of a martial talisman.

"'Linyuan Feng Xufu'!"

Shang Xia's face was full of admiration: "This is a complete set of martial talisman inheritance!"

Shang Pei also said: "When I saw the content of the inheritance inside, I was also amazed at the rigor of the original Linyuan Sect's martial talisman inheritance. This one, or more precisely, this series of 'Linyuan Feng Void Talismans', from the lowest first-order 'Linyuan Wind Borrowing Talisman', to the second-order 'Linyuan Wind Charm Talisman', then to the third-order 'Linyuan Imperial Qi Talisman', and the fourth-order 'Linyuan Void Breaking Talisman', and finally to the fifth-order 'Linyuan Feng Void Talisman' that even those who left behind the inheritance have not done, it is completely in the same vein, which is breathtaking. ”

Shang Xia also said: "Not only that, but this inheritance also records the production methods of each level of rune paper and rune ink that are exclusive to this vein martial article, even the rune pens, paperweights, inkstones, the time when the talisman was made, the length of the talisman making time, the size and thickness of each stroke, and the ups and downs are all recorded clearly. ”

Shang Pei was amazed, and then asked, "I haven't looked closely at it since I found out that it was a martial talisman inheritance before, what is the use of this 'Linyuan Feng Void Talisman'?"

Shang Xia replied: "The first-order 'Wind Borrowing Talisman' can only make the martial artist faster, the second-order 'Wind Charm' can not only be used to hurry, but also attract a hurricane to ward off the enemy, the third-order 'Qi Charm' can make people fly in the air like a fourth-order martial artist, and the fourth-order 'Void Breaking Talisman' seems to be able to be used to break through the boundary barriers, so that the martial artist can cross secret realms such as the Xuan Realm and the blessed land, and even, well, I guess it is possible to go directly to the Outer Heaven Dome......"

"What about the Fifth Order?"

Shang Pei then asked.

Shang Xia thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
