On the ninth day of the second lunar month, in a wilderness outside Dongning City, the sky was gloomy.

"Yo. A melodious birdsong sounded, and I saw a huge bird bathed in thunder swooping down from the clouds, but two figures sat cross-legged on the back of the bird.

"Boom!"

As the bird approached the ground, thunderbolts on its huge wings slammed in all directions, shaking the entire wilderness ground, and the electric snake scattered before dissipating.

At this moment, two figures fell from the back of the bird.

One is a middle-aged woman, the other is an elderly woman on crutches.

"Senior Sister Huang, I've arrived, I'm in my hometown, you can go back. The old woman on crutches laughed.

"Sister Meng. "There are faint tears in the eyes of the middle-aged woman, her 'Sister Meng' was not so old before, this time she was seriously injured, and her old age was fully revealed, but she could still vaguely see from her appearance that the old woman was also a beauty when she was young.

"This time we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to see each other again. The old woman sighed and laughed, "But I am good enough to at least be able to return to my hometown before I die, and spend the last years of my life in my hometown." Those who died in battle have really become a pile of loess. ”

"Sister Meng, if you need my help with anything, just write a letter, and I, Huang Xiangning, should do my best. The middle-aged woman said solemnly.

"If I ask for you, I'll speak. The old woman smiled, "All right, let's go back quickly." ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the old woman carefully, and finally jumped on the back of the bird, and soon the bird shook its wings, and thunder filled the void in all directions.

Call.

Carrying thunder and lightning, the bird quickly soared into the sky and disappeared into the sky.

The old woman watched her companion leave, then turned her head to look at Dongning City, and smiled: "It's time to go home, you can return to your roots, God treats me well!"

"Boom. ”

The crutches in the old woman's hand lightly tapped the ground, and there were void ripples at the knock place, which filled the four directions in bursts, enveloping the surrounding area.

Holding a cane, shrouded in ripples, she also walked towards Dongning City, each step was dozens of zhang. Even as they walked past some of the pedestrian caravans on the official road, the people still laughed and chatted as if they didn't see the 'old woman'.

In a moment, she came to the entrance of the city gate.

"Dongning City. ”

The old woman was on crutches and looked at the majestic city in front of her.

This is her hometown! where she lived as a young woman.

The old woman smiled and continued to walk forward, but the large number of people at the city gate, including the guards at the gate, did not see the old woman. The old woman seemed to not exist in this world, so she entered the city, walked on the streets, and came to the ancestral house of the Meng family.

Enter the ancestral home.

There were many clansmen patrolling the ancestral house, but they couldn't see the old woman either.

"Goo-goo-goo. In one of the small courtyards of the ancestral house, the fat old man was drinking stuffy wine.

"Pingping, are you secretly drinking?" a voice sounded in the small courtyard.

The fat old man was so frightened that he looked around, and couldn't help but say, "Third sister, is it you?"

An old woman on crutches appeared out of thin air in the courtyard, smiling at him.

"Third sister. ”

The fat old man's eyes were red, he was the only younger brother of 'Meng Xiangu'. Although the other elders in the family also shouted 'Third Sister', it was because the family was too large, after all, there were thousands of years of history in the family, and many of the children of the family were separated by several layers. The fat old man's name is 'Meng Yanping', the contemporary patriarch of the Meng family, he is nearly twenty years younger than Meng Xiangu, so when he was a child, Meng Xiangu also took him, and he was both a sister and a mother.

In his heart, his third sister has always been so young, so beautiful, and so omnipotent, but now she is so old.

"What are you crying about, I'm not alive and well?" said the old woman.

"Third sister, your injuries really can't be cured?" the fat old man asked.

"As long as you don't fight hard, you can still live for seven or eight years. The old woman said indifferently, "People are born, old, sick and die, and gods and demons also have life limits, so what is there to be sad about." The next few years will be enough time for me to properly settle my Meng family, and the news of my serious injury will come back, what will happen in Dongning Mansion?"

"The Yun family and my Meng family have dissolved the marriage contract, which is the marriage contract of the little guy Meng Chuan. The fat old man said, "As for the rest, the four great gods and demons are only making small moves, and they don't dare to really anger my Meng family at all." ”

"Well, when the marriage contract was made, Yun Wanhai also wanted to borrow the power of my Meng family. Now that I am seriously injured, it is normal for him to dissolve the junior's marriage. ”

The old woman commanded, "By the way, Pingping......"

"Third sister, I'm ninety years old, and I'm still the head of the Meng family, can you call me by my name?" the fat old man couldn't help but say.

"Oh, good, good, give you face. The old woman smiled and said, "Meng Pingping, go, gather all the elders of the clan to the Great Hall of Fire, I want to see you." ”

"What Meng Pingping, my name is Meng Yanping. The fat old man muttered, but he hurried to gather the family elders.

My sister is a mother and a sister again, and she brought him up.

Protect him and make him to this day.

Hearing his sister call him 'Pingping', the patriarch Meng Yanping also felt more energetic to walk.

The ancestral house of the Meng family, the hall of fire.

Only the most important things in the family will come here, and today, the area around the Great Hall of Fire is heavily guarded.

in the main hall.

Meng Xiangu stood there on crutches, looking up at the plaque in the hall - the word 'fire'.

The patriarch and all the elders stood respectfully, and none of them dared to say anything.

On age......

Meng Xiangu is one hundred and twelve years old this year, and she is the eldest in the family. In terms of strength, Meng Xiangu became a god and demon at the age of thirty-five, sheltered the Meng family for nearly eighty years, and the Meng family also prospered for eighty years, and her prestige in the Meng family is beyond doubt. As soon as she gave the order, I am afraid that many clansmen will not hesitate to die.

After looking at the word 'Agni' on the plaque for a long time, Meng Xiangu turned around and swept her gaze over the elders present, all of whom were a little nervous.

"The younger generation of my Meng family, what is the talent that is expected to become a god and demon?" Meng Xiangu asked, although the Meng family has been rooted in Dongning Mansion for thousands of years, there have only been two gods and demons, one is the ancestor of Yushan five hundred years ago, and the other is Meng Xiangu. During their period, the Meng family reached its peak. What Meng Xiangu was looking forward to the most was ......

can cultivate the third god and demon in the history of the family.

Originally, she could patiently and slowly look for a junior suitable for cultivation, but now the time is too tight, so she can only choose a short one.

"Dajiang is quite talented, he realized the secret technique of sword technique at the age of nineteen, and realized the sword posture at the age of thirty. He is now forty-seven years old...... There is also a glimmer of hope for becoming a god and a demon. The bald-headed, thin old man spoke.

"Oe?"

Meng Xiangu looked at Meng Dajiang who was standing aside.

"Auntie. The obese Meng Dajiang saluted.

"Can you have Ning Dan?" asked Meng Xiangu.

Meng Dajiang shook his head.

Meng Xiangu frowned, she was forty-seven years old, she hadn't even done it yet, and her hope of becoming a god and demon was really slim.

"What about the juniors?" Meng Xiangu asked.

"Junior, there are three of them. Patriarch Meng Yanping said, "Meng Zhu, this kid is twenty-three this year, there is no leakage, he is serving in the military at Qinyang Pass, he is nineteen years old and realized the secret technique. There is also the girl 'Meng Wenying', she is sixteen years old this year, and she has achieved top swordsmanship at the age of twelve. There is also Dajiang's son 'Meng Chuan', who is fifteen years old this year, and he is a thirteen-year-old master of top sword skills. Meng Wenying and Meng Chuan are both young, but neither has realized the secret technique. ”

Meng Xiangu was silent.

Meng Zhu, who didn't realize the secret technique until he was nineteen years old, is really too late to become a god and demon! Because he doesn't know what year it is when he realizes the 'potential', and it is even farther away if he wants to become a god and demon.

Meng Wenying and Meng Chuan, one is sixteen years old and the other is fifteen years old, and the time is also very tight, and the key is not even mastered the secret skills.

She wanted to choose between the short ones, but she couldn't.

"You all go back. Meng Xiangu said coldly, "In the next few years, the juniors of the entire family will increase their training, this is the top priority of the family, and other things are not important. Before I die, I want to see a seedling who promises to become a god or demon. ”

Obviously, I didn't see too good, so I could only cast a wide net, hoping that those eight or nine, eleven or twelve-year-old juniors would emerge as geniuses.

"Yes. The patriarch and all the elders responded in unison.

"This matter is related to the rise and fall of the family, and there is no room for neglect. If there is a person who fills his own pocket, he will be directly dealt with by family law. After Meng Xiangu finished speaking, she walked out directly on crutches.
