Chapter 1 The Chu Family
Three hundred and twenty-seven years after the martial arts
Changxing City was originally just a small county seat in the Yunzhou area of the Yuan Kingdom of the Southern Continent. However, because of the fertile soil and abundant land, people are also living and working in peace and contentment. But such good conditions have also attracted many people with ill intentions. They formed a dictatorial clan in Changxing City, black-hearted merchants. Bandits, robbers outside the city. It makes the people unhappy, and the chickens and dogs are restless.
At that time, the head of the Chu family, a small family in the city, stood up and spent half a month lobbying several major families in the city to reformulate the market system in the city, and then unite the forces of several major families to clear out the bandits outside the city. In just one year, the situation inside and outside the city was stabilized.
More than 20 years have passed, and Changxing City has rapidly developed into one of the top cities in Yunzhou, and the Chu family, who has won the hearts of the people, has also become the richest man in Changxing City. The newly-born Chu family moved to the southeast of the city. It occupies one-tenth of the entire southeastern belt. The mansion was surrounded by gray-white stone walls, and it was full of houses and gardens of various sizes interspersed with corridors, and several tall attics and halls were built, even if they were not useful, but they should have existed, because this was in line with the cards of the richest man in Changxing City.
"Boom ......"
There was thunder and dark clouds in the sky over Changxing City. There was also a strong wind howling non-stop. This is a sign that heavy rain is about to fall.
The west wing of the Chu family
A young man stepped out of one of the doors and slowly paced to the eaves and stood. The young man was in his early twenties, of medium build, with black hair in a shawl, smiling but pale, and wearing only a thin shirt.
Chu Yang slowly walked under the eaves and opened his arms to feel the oncoming little wet wind, but Chu Yang didn't feel cold at all, he hadn't felt so happy for a long time.
When I wanted to switch from martial arts to spirituality, I was puzzled by the people around me.
Wind, fire, thunder, water, wood, earth.
The six attributes represent six different spiritual veins, everyone can awaken the spiritual veins in the bloodline, most people can only awaken one, and the extremely rare few people can have two attributes. Awakening and then verifying capital, enlightening the spirit, and gathering qi until Ning Yuan can be regarded as truly becoming a spiritual cultivator.
Water and fire spirit body, born with residual veins. Since the body has both water and fire attributes, when cultivating, whether it is absorbing fire aura or water aura, it will be partially blocked by the other. Originally, the aura absorbed was ten, but what he really got was only four, which made the cultivation twice as effective. If the two auras are absorbed together, they will only slowly dissolve in the body. It is one of the several waste veins in the twin spirit veins.
However, Chu Yangsheng had to give up his talented and even slightly accomplished martial arts cultivation path for this kind of physique, and go to spiritual cultivation. For this matter, he was not less preached by the elders around him, and his own uncle, who instructed Chu Yang to cultivate martial arts, even lifted the knife holder to Chu Yang's neck to force him to change his mind. However, Chu Yang had already made up his mind in his heart, and directly abolished the internal qi cultivation that he had cultivated for several years in front of everyone, which made everyone shut up.
Chu Yang took a deep breath again and calmed down his excitement. Now that his eight years of cultivation have yielded some results, he should go to him again to ask about the next step.
"Young Master, you're awake. Suddenly, a voice full of surprise came out from the end of the corridor on Chu Yang's right.
It was a girl of about eleven or twelve years of age, with a delicate and lovely face, two braids tied on her head, and a pale red cotton jacket.
She is Chu Yang's personal maid, and she was picked up by Chu Yang when there was a heavy snowstorm in the south of Changxing City four years ago. Originally, Chu Yang didn't want to take her home at that time, after all, there were too many such people at that time, so he wanted to be like everyone else, giving two clothes, three bags of dry food and a string of copper coins. But at that time, the "life" said that it was useful to keep it, so she took her back home, became a maid, and took a new name Chu Qiaoer.
Qiao'er ran to Chu Yang's side in small steps, looked at Chu Yang, and suddenly laughed.
"Young Master looks in a good mood today!"
Chu Yang looked at Qiao'er who ran in front of him with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but reach out and pull her pink little face, and said with a smile: "Haha." Did you feel it?"
Qiao'er has a special ability to feel the emotions of the people around her. As for why she can feel it and how she can feel it, she can't say clearly, but she can feel it anyway. It is also because of this that she is more able to grasp the balance when getting along with others, and so far she has not seen a bad relationship with anyone other than her father.
Chu Yang spoke again: "Girl, I've been sleeping for a few days. ”
Qiao'er stretched out her hand and slapped Chu Yang's hand away, rubbed her face and said, "It's been four days, young master." ”
"It's been four days. ”
Qiao'er said with some hesitation: "Young Master, Lord Han Sen just told me that Master told you to wake up and go to his place. Qiao'er frowned, she didn't like to see Chu Yang's father.
"It's not busy. Chu Yang rubbed his hands, and suddenly said with a straight face: "I've been in a daze for so many days, and your homework hasn't fallen behind." ”
As soon as Qiao'er heard this, she immediately raised her head and said proudly: "I practice seriously every day, and just two days ago, I felt that I was about to reach the peak of qi gathering. ”
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, then raised Qiao'er's whole person into the air with both hands, and said happily: "Is it? Are you about to reach the peak of Qi Gathering? It's really amazing! It's only been three years, and it's really a good talent. Hahaha. ”
Chu Yang held Qiao'er like this, with an inexplicable look in his eyes. "Then let's get ready, and then let's go. ”
"Are you going to go to the master?"
"No, let's go see Master first. ”
......
Somewhere in the corridor of the Chu family
Chu Yang, who was already fully dressed, was about to go to Chu Yang's master with Qiao'er, one of the symbols of the Chu family's martial arts, the strongest spiritual cultivation in Yunzhou, and the peak water spiritual cultivation of the Yuanjing Realm - Han Xuan's residence.
The two walked to the door of a house surrounded by a corridor and stood in front of it, Chu Yang first tidied up the clothes on his body, and then reached out and lightly buttoned the door a few times.
"Enter. A faint middle-aged man's voice came from inside the door.
After getting the consent, Chu Yang also pushed the door directly and stepped in, and what caught his eye was the extremely simple furnishings in the room, a table against the wall, and two chairs next to the table were all. A middle-aged man in a light blue robe with a little mustache and a serious face was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.
Although Han Xuan looked like he was only middle-aged, he was actually about to be seventy years old. And he is not only Chu Yang's master, but also Chu Yang's distant relative, and he is the same generation as Chu Yang's grandfather according to his generation. Six years ago, it seemed that they had to take refuge in the Chu family because something happened in their clan, but now the Han family has been completely merged into the Chu family, and Chu Yang, who was still cultivating hard at that time, also joined the spiritual cultivation Han Xuan's disciples.
However, despite this relationship, Han Xuan only recognized Chu Yang and himself as a master-apprentice relationship.
"Disciple Chu Yang has seen Master Han. ”
"Yes. ”
Chu Yang had long been accustomed to Han Xuan's indifferent reaction, and he had been like this for six years. So I didn't care, I just said what I meant.
"The disciple has broken through the peak of qi gathering and stepped into consummation, preparing for the condensation period. So ......"
Before Chu Yang finished speaking, Han Xuan directly stretched out a finger at Chu Yang, and a blue light shot out from his finger and hit Chu Yang's forehead directly.
"Cold Waves. Practice well on your own. ”
After saying this, Han Xuan directly closed his eyes, and a faint blue fluorescence appeared on his body.
Chu Yang looked at the master who had already entered the cultivation state, and the intention of driving people away could no longer be obvious. However, his purpose was also achieved, and he saluted immediately and walked out of the room directly.
The moment Chu Yang stepped out of the door, Han Xuan opened his eyes again, looking at the slowly closing door, his brows furrowed slightly, and he snorted coldly, and the whole person suddenly became more and more hazy until he disappeared.
......
Chu Yang, who had left Han Xuan's residence, continued to walk in the huge Chu Mansion with his maids.
"Young Master. ”
"Huh?"
"This is not the way to the master's side. ”
"Hmm. ”
Qiao'er didn't ask again, she was just a maid, just do what she should do, and just do what she needs to do.
Chu Yang knew that Qiao'er had said before that his father asked him to meet him. But I don't want to go. His mother died in an incident eight years ago, and his father felt that it was his responsibility and felt sorry for himself and his brother, so he forcibly changed himself in the past eight years, and tried his best to make his brothers feel that their mother was still by his side.
However, it has become too much of a concern now.
Boom......
Boom......
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground came from Chu Yang's right front, first there was only a slight sound and then it became louder and louder, followed by the ground also began to shake slightly.
Chu Yang couldn't help frowning.
I can't hide from what I should have.
Stopped, pulled the clothes on his body, tidied up his appearance, and smiled again, waiting for the arrival of his father, Chu Ping, the head of the Chu family.
Boom......
A middle-aged man with a height of nearly two meters appeared at the corner of the corridor in front of Chu Yang on the right. The man was a little similar to Chu Yang, tall but a little fat, and he was wearing all kinds of gorgeous jewelry and clothing.
The man saw Chu Yang at a glance, ran in front of Chu Yang, and jumped into the air with his arms outstretched.
"You're finally awake, Xiaoyang. ”
Chu Yang directly hugged Qiao'er the moment Chu Ping jumped up, and then moved sideways to the left, avoiding Chu Ping's hug for him.
Chu Yang blocked Qiao'er behind her, allowing her to bury her head in her back, grabbing the clothes on her waist, and her body trembled slightly. Qiao'er was very afraid of her father, and she didn't tell herself what the reason was, but she was like this every time she saw her father.
Bang......
Chu Ping stood up immediately after he landed, the four-cornered hat on his head was crooked and not straightened, and he reached out and grabbed Chu Yang's shoulder.
"It's okay, Xiaoyang. Why are you in a coma again, does this affect your body? I think it's better to find someone to take a look. ”
Chu Yang looked at his father, who was a head taller than him in front of him, and said with a smile: "Father." It's okay, it's been so many times, you just treat this kind of thing as a cold. ”
Chu Ping shook his head and said, "How can this be, everything is what you are talking about, what if there is any hidden disease that you don't know yourself?
"I said it. In fact, this time I broke through the peak of Qi Gathering and was about to enter Ning Yuan, so I went to Master's trip first. ”
Chu Ping was stunned, and asked in a not very sure tone, "You mean, you're going to Ning Yuan?"
Chu Yang nodded and said, "I have already gone to see Master Han just now, and he gave me a spiritual decision called Hanlang Decision, I want it to be able to truly ...... in a short time Well. Father, are you listening?"
While Chu Yang said this, he found that Chu Ping was not listening at all, although the whole person looked at himself, there was no focus in his eyes, and then Chu Ping laughed loudly as if he suddenly woke up: "Ning Yuan? Yes, Ning Yuan, haha." That's a big deal! We have to celebrate, we have to have a banquet. I'll go to the housekeeper now. ”
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
But at this time, Chu Yang said directly: "Father." It took eight years to gather energy, and it was only now that Ning Yuan arrived, I don't think it's something to be proud of. ”
Chu Ping smiled awkwardly and said, "Then Xiaoyang, what do you want to do?"
Chu Yang can actually go anywhere, anyway, as long as he is quiet, he casually found an excuse and said: "Now I still plan to make up for my body first and recuperate." Well, let's go to Tianman Restaurant first. ”
"It's okay, eat more, and make up for your body first. Just turn the account back and ask the housekeeper to settle it. ”
"Then father, I'll leave first. ”
......
After saying that, Chu Yang left directly with Qiao'er.
Chu Ping, who was still standing in place, looked at the place where the two left, but the smile on his face slowly disappeared, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was confusion and disbelief in his eyes. In the end, they all turned into a smile of relief.
"Are you going to Ning Yuan? How can it be so fast, much faster than we expected! Hehe, it's not a loss to Xiaoyang! It's okay, it's good to live for a while longer. I'm not in a hurry, and they don't dare to hurry. ”
After saying that, he pondered for a while.
"No, it's better to celebrate and get them all back. ”
Chu Ping stood alone and muttered to himself, and then walked in another direction satisfied.
