I originally wanted to say hello to Kewei, Qin Yu and the others before leaving, but I thought that it wouldn't take too long anyway, and I would be back soon, so it wouldn't hurt to explain to them when the time came. So he glanced back at them, and followed his father-in-law out of the place as quickly as possible. Perhaps, to be precise, from today onwards, I no longer need to call him my father-in-law to cover up, but can directly call him, my maternal uncle and grandfather......

We walked through the huge passage and returned to the ground, where we found ourselves in the middle of a gigantic ancient palace! Because it was late at night, there was a dead silence all around, except for a full moon in the sky that shone a cold glow. The surrounding temples cast mottled shadows in the moonlight, looking ethereal and a little chilly. A feeling that made me feel unusually intimate permeated all around, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Needless to say, although I haven't been here, I have already guessed that this is the Forbidden City.

Seeing my appearance, Hong Tianjun's brows furrowed slightly: "Jiang Ming, I feel very strange. In the imperial capital, the power of the Mandate of Heaven is permeated everywhere, that is, the suppression of the people who cultivate the Tao by the fortune of the whole country. Therefore, no matter how strong a person comes to Beijing, his strength will drop by a few percent, and he will feel a little uncomfortable. When you first came, I thought you were normal, but now we are standing at the source of China's luck. Even I feel oppressed, but you seem very comfortable to look at? Haven't you been suppressed by the power of the Mandate of Heaven at all? ”

I smiled wryly, not knowing how to explain: "Father, that's true. Not only will I not be suppressed, but I will even have a bonus to the power of mana. I'm stronger in Beijing than anywhere else! As for why, it's a long story, it was a little accident not long ago when one of the nine dragon veins guarding the Nine Dragon Veins in Miaofeng Town happened......"

"Is it still called a father-in-law? You can call me my maternal uncle and grandfather, haha. ”

I scratched the back of my head a little embarrassed: "But...... It seems that the father-in-law is used to it, do you have to change his name to his maternal uncle and grandfather? ”

Hong Tianjun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled heartily: "Whatever you want, haha." Now you kid can't compare to us old guys, but it's not just for us to knead. You have reached the Dao Law realm of the middle stage of the Earth Immortal, and at this speed, it is estimated that my eldest brother can't believe it. The Sanqing were all locked up in a ruined temple in the corner of the Imperial Garden, and there was nothing of extreme importance that would not bother them, but now they needed it. Let's talk as we go......"

Because my strength has improved by leaps and bounds and solved too many problems, it makes him feel good.

In fact, this is the case in any circle. In order to solve things, in addition to the help of relatives and friends and deep friendship, one's own strength is also extremely important. For example, for ordinary people, it is necessary to have money. With money, there will be no more worries about small things, and there will be no misery in the event of a serious illness and no one to treat it.

When it comes to the supernatural circle, then the strength of Taoism is the "money" in the eyes of ordinary people. If the Taoism is profound, you will have the right to speak. My Dao skills are profound, and Hong Tianjun no longer worries about how to debate and explain with his eldest brother, because my existence itself proves the correctness of the Feng family and him!

Along the way, bathed in the cold moonlight, Hong Tianjun and I walked all the way and talked all the way.

I briefly told him about our experience in the Endless Exquisite Palace, and he was very embarrassed about Chi Han's affairs, and at the same time recognized my handling of Lu Wu Shumin. A character who does not affect the overall situation, in exchange for the promise of Lu Wu Jingming, a peerless powerhouse comparable to the Three Qings, is very cost-effective. He also knew that I had been briefly involved in the Dragon Vein Law in Miaofeng Town, and even if he was well-informed and profound, he couldn't figure out why such a thing happened.

And I learned a lot about my grandfather, whom I had never met, from him. Since the Tang Dynasty, the Hong family has inherited the position of China's "Three Qings" from generation to generation, and it is extremely noble. My grandfather is the Shangqing of this generation, Lingbao Tianzun! It's just that he is old-fashioned and harsh, and he has a bit of old stubbornness. For the Feng family, who has always been a little inconsistent with the concept of the Hong family, it is not very eye-catching. Especially in the past few hundred years, the Feng family has declined greatly, and by the time of my father, it was already a lonely family. The family fortune and the unique secret art have been lost, and only a powerful bloodline that no one can take away is left......

So my grandfather was extremely opposed to the union of my mother and father, and even repeatedly became angry, wanting to arrest my mother and put her under house arrest and break my father's legs. Later, his parents eloped, and he also ordered his younger brother, Hong Tianjun, to look around. In the end, Hong Tianjun also disobeyed his orders and made a series of arrangements according to his own ideas, so there were many things after that, and my growth and experience were born......

And now, at last, he was going to take me to meet this stubborn and powerful old man, and I don't know what it would be.

Finally, I followed Hong Tianjun into the Imperial Garden of the Forbidden City. This is in the rear part of the palace, covering a large area, and the towering ancient trees look particularly tall and vicissitudes in the night. In the corner of the imperial garden, there is indeed a very dilapidated small temple, from a distance, it seems to be only thirty or forty square meters, it is estimated that the emperor used to worship the gods and Buddhas in the past, and now it is dilapidated......

Ordinary people or warlocks with lower strength may not be able to detect it at all, but when they reach the middle stage of the Earth Immortal and or far exceed the strength of the Earth Immortal, they can feel the extraordinaryness of this broken temple in front of them!

At least a hundred meters away, I felt an indescribable aura. This breath is not very grand and domineering, but it is irresistible, like heaven and earth! Looking closely, you can see three straight pillars of light rising from the ruined temple, running through the heavens and the earth!!

Looking at this appearance, it is very close to the purple pillar of light in the center of the Forbidden City. This is...... The physical manifestation of the destiny of heaven and the fortunes of China!!

It's just that unlike the coercion of this purple pillar of light emitted by the Forbidden City, these three pillars of light seem a little lifeless.

Hong Tianjun explained to me, "Don't worry, there is no problem with the Three Qings, and it will be the case when they close their lives and participate in the higher realm of Dao Enlightenment. In fact, you can also feel that their aura is very similar to the aura of destiny emitted by the Forbidden City. That's right, the Sanqing itself can be seen as the manifestation of the personality of China's national fortunes. With Sanqing in charge, it can deter the younger generation. If it weren't for the terrifying heaven and earth catastrophe that swept the two worlds of yin and yang this time, Sanqing would not have closed the door at the same time, and would not have let those careerists and demons take advantage. ”

"But luckily we still won, didn't we? This is all the credit of my uncle and grandfather, Sanqing didn't make a move, and we still won! ”

He nodded: "Yes, we have won the war with these demons. But then came the most terrifying and grim moment. The catastrophe is coming, and we will not only have to face the demons and monsters that are raging from the netherworld, but also the terrifying and mysterious yin, and the strange power that causes the catastrophe...... Jiang Ming, sometimes I can't bear to bear such a burden on your shoulders. ”

I smiled and shook my head.

In the middle of the conversation, the two of us had already arrived in front of this dilapidated temple of the Sanqing retreat. Even the paper on the temple door has rotted out many holes, and when the wind blows, it whines, like a ghost crying in the royal garden in the dead of night. If ordinary people were here at this time, the more timid ones would probably be scared.

"Alright, let's go inside. I'll find a way to wake up my eldest brother, and then the three of us will have a good talk. Hong Tianjun said and waved his hand lightly from a distance of half a meter, and the dilapidated temple door creaked open on its own, and a smell of stale dust came to his face.

When we walked in, we saw three statues of Sanqing carved from wood on the shrine facing the gate. The carving techniques and dyeing techniques are somewhat clumsy, and the Sanqing statue looks very plain. Just now, I clearly felt the breath of fusion with the national fortune outside, but when I entered it, I couldn't feel the breath of any living person at all.

I thought that I was already in the Dao Law realm of the middle stage of the Earth Immortals, even if it was far inferior to Sanqing, it would not even be able to find them. Now it seems that I am still a little arrogant.

My maternal uncle and grandfather stretched out his finger and pointed to the three wooden figures in front of him: "This is the Sanqing people in the retreat, and the one on the left is my eldest brother, your grandfather." ”

And so it was! These three wooden statues are actually Sanqing. Although I had already guessed in my heart just now, I was still amazed at this time. Because whether I see with the naked eye or with the spiritual vision, and use the spiritual sense to sense, they are just ordinary wood carvings.

"Jiang Ming, I'm going to wake up Big Brother, you get ready." As soon as he finished speaking, his grandfather clasped his hands together and formed a strange spell mark. The Tiangang Astrolabe emerged from the void behind him, this is a genuine Dao Sect top-level magic weapon!

He manipulated the Tiangang astrolabe to levitate in the air, and the surface of the astrolabe immediately radiated a dazzling beam of light towards the Lingbao Tianzun statue on the far side, shining on his chest. At the same time, the mantra with rapid syllables in his mouth is extremely simple, and it sounds a bit like the ancestors in ancient times sacrificing their ancestors.

At this moment, the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, who was clearly a clumsy wood carving, suddenly opened his eyes!!

Among them, the essence of light bursts out, making people dare not look directly, and the whites of the eyes are distinct, and they are actually turning straight away. Then, something extremely unbelievable happened! The wooden statue that had been sitting cross-legged actually moved, jumped up, and fell to the ground in front of us, making a soft thud.

After that, there was only a burst of dazzling light flashing in this dilapidated temple, and there was no way to look directly at the Dao Law realm in the middle stage of my Earth Immortal, so I could only close my eyes and dodge. When the flash finally ended, I slowly opened my eyes, but I still hadn't seen the specific scene in front of me. The majestic and vicissitudes of an old man's voice had already been heard in his ears.

"Brother, what do you mean by waking up your brother from death? Don't you know that the catastrophe of heaven and earth is approaching, I will wait for the three clear deaths to communicate with heaven and earth, and want to further move towards the legendary realm of Taoism, maybe there is still a glimmer of life in the face of the catastrophe. ”

It was at this moment that I finally opened my eyes completely and saw clearly the face of the person in front of me.

It was an old man in a gray linen robe, tall with a white beard and hair, and a resolute face like a knife and an axe, with well-defined outlines. A pair of eyes were filled with indescribable wisdom, as if he himself were like the heavens high up. What does he look like...... It's a bit similar to me!

I have no doubt that by the time I reach his age, I will be like him, at least seven points alike. What's more, when this majestic old man appeared, a feeling of blood thicker than water instantly surged through my body. It was an induction between direct blood relatives. Even for Hong Tianjun, I don't have this strong feeling, but I have a faint sense of intimacy. Now this majestic old man I have never met has given me such a feeling, and if I don't know his identity anymore, I will be an idiot.

He seemed to notice me as well, and the gaze of this majestic old man, who was one of the three nobles, fell on me. I felt that his ancient and waveless aura also rippled a little, and he looked at Hong Tianjun again, clearly bringing greater majesty: "He is ......"

"Your grandson." Hong Tianjun said simply without showing weakness.

As soon as these words came out, Lingbao Tianzun's hand shook slightly. If it weren't for the strength that I had already reached the middle stage of the Earth Immortal, it would have been impossible to perceive it at all.

Lingbao Tianzun slowly closed his eyes and sighed slowly: "Brother, I need an explanation. ”

So next, Hong Tianjun told Lingbao Tianzun what happened back then. On the side, I relived the shocking action of the year and the struggle of Hong Tianjun when he finally made the decision......

In the end, Hong Tianjun looked at me while talking to Lingbao Tianzun, and his face looked a little proud: "Big brother, the facts have finally proved that I am right!" You see, your good grandson, he is not yet eighteen years old, and he is already an earth immortal! And it's still in the middle stage of the Earth Immortals. The soul fusion physique inherited from his Feng family's bloodline can allow him to integrate the power of all the spells in the world, and completely integrate the five veins of metaphysics, and the five veins are initiated! This will be more than just a legend. ”

Lingbao Tianzun and I looked at each other, although I was a little excited in my heart, but at this time I also looked at him calmly and without showing weakness. For this grandfather, it would be nonsense to say how much affection there is right now. After all, the death of my parents at the beginning, I also think that he persecuted too much to do with it.

In the end, I saluted him first, and said, "Junior Jiang Ming, I don't know what Lingbao Tianzun has to say?" In the words, there is not much politeness. I was so anxious that Hong Tianjun next to me kept giving me a look.

Lingbao Tianzun's expression froze, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes: "Why do you not know how to be polite, and you have no respect for your eyes." Don't you call your grandfather's? ”

I showed a strange expression: "Lingbao Tianzun senior, this is strange. You kept looking at me coldly, and you didn't speak, and you didn't call me grandson. Do I still have to take the initiative to stick this cold ass? ”

"You! Good, good, as stubborn as your mother. As he spoke, his right hand was raised high and was about to hit me in the face.

I just closed my eyes.

Revolt? How can it be! Facing one of the most pinnacle powerhouses in this Yang world, my current strength is not enough. It's definitely not realistic to use Dao techniques to dodge, let alone take 10,000 steps back and say, this old guy is indeed my grandfather. Although I can't get used to his indifference, being slapped by an elder is not a big deal......

Therefore, I just closed my eyes and waited for the Thunder Fury of Lingbao Tianzun. But what makes me strange is that this slap has not fallen for a long time. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the cold and solemn look on the face of this majestic old man was gone, and only a kind of sadness remained, the kind of apology and care that an old man would have when facing his children and grandchildren.

Then I felt a large, thin but strong hand on my shoulder, pulled hard, and actually hugged me like that.

One of the three Qings high above, Lingbao Tianzun, actually hugged me so tightly!

I heard his sad and regretful voice ringing in my ears: "My good grandson, all these years...... I've suffered you, and I've suffered your poor mother. If I hadn't cared too much about the glory of my family and had too much prejudice against your father's family, I wouldn't have become what I am now. In fact, all these years, your maternal uncle and grandfather didn't know, and I have always been in a state of regret. It is precisely because of this that it is difficult to advance in the realm of Taoism, and there is a mental obstacle. ”

It was only at this moment that I really felt that the high-ranking immortal man in front of me was actually a poor old man who longed for family affection and family. He has paid too much for this country, and too much for the glory of the so-called thousand-year-old Xuanmen family......

I let out a sigh of relief, only to feel that the knots in my heart were also relieved. For this grandfather, there is no strong estrangement before.

"Grandfather, I...... Forgive you. In the place of mother and father, I have forgiven you. I muttered.

When the two sides reached a settlement, the atmosphere in the broken temple became much more harmonious. The three of them smiled and talked, and I not only told my grandfather about my experience over the years and the Taoism I had learned, but also accepted many of his suggestions and instructions. A thick warm current flowed through my heart, which ...... Is it the family affection that blood is thicker than water? I thought that the Sanqing people were all high above and ruthless and desireless, and they planned to meet each other, just forget it, and give Hong Tianjun a face. Now it seems that I think too badly of these elders......

"Big brother, since you are not as opposed as you were at the beginning, I will let Jiang Ming continue our plan. I've been secretly planning this plan for a long time. It's like a crop planted in the ground, waiting for Jiang Ming to go and harvest it. Hong Tianjun finally said to Lingbao Tianzun.

Lingbao Tianzun, whose face was full of kindness now, nodded: "Since you believe so firmly in the theory founded by the Feng family, my good grandson has indeed walked out of an unprecedented path of powerhouse according to this method!" I will not hold you accountable for your past concealment, and I will try to help you. This Lingbao Tianzun Order, give it to you and your grandson. ”

A quaint Taoist token was brought to me and Hong Tianjun. You don't have to think about it to know that this thing is priceless and represents a supreme status in China. Even if it's a top official in the government, I'm afraid you have to give face to this token, right? It would also be easier to do things when there was a need.

My grandfather looked at me and smiled, "My good grandson, although my grandfather will no longer stop you. But what we have taken is not the same road as you. So, how about I make a bet? Cultivate separately, and when the Heaven and Earth Tribulation really comes, our grandchildren will compare with each other, is it your Feng family's legendary cultivation method that can reach the extreme, or is our method useful? ”

I also smiled and nodded at him: "One word is a deal!" When the time comes, grandfather should not think that his grandson will not give you face. ”

He smiled, and his maternal uncle and grandfather Hong Tianjun next to him also smiled.

Coming out of the Sanqing Temple, the sky was already bright. We have to get out of the Forbidden City as soon as possible, so as not to be bumped into by tourists. Looking at the morning light on the horizon, Hong Tianjun and I glanced at each other, and our hearts were full of emotion.

"I, Jiang Ming, will definitely walk out of this path left by the ancestors of the Feng family! This is my way! I'm coming! (To be continued.) )
