In the end, the martial arts hall did not succeed, and was suppressed by Xiao Yu with his father's majesty, and said coldly: "Go back!" Settle in early and don't go wrong tomorrow! ”

"Whoa!" The children replied respectfully.

Xiao Long raised his head with a dazed expression, with a disappointed expression when he didn't see the excitement.

Xiao Yu was also speechless for this little daughter, and then looked at Xiao Se, who exuded "life is boring", and felt that her eyes were twitching, why didn't these two daughters neutralize it? glanced at the three "brothers" who were still fighting the lawsuit, and was angry and funny, so he pretended to be angry and said, "Hurry up and get out." ”

The brothers and sisters immediately got up and sent their parents out of the hall before they came out. Xiao Long didn't forget the excitement in his heart, and walked to the porch and said to the three brothers: "Fourteenth brother, seventeenth brother, nineteenth brother, you have to call me when you fight!" ”

Xiao Cheng said viciously, "The child is going." ”

Xiao Long was furious and pounced......

Xiao Cheng was about to have a headache and was beaten by this sister and couldn't fight back, but he saw this guy who couldn't walk when he saw the color pounced on Xiao Seventeen, and complained with a crying face, "Brother Seventeen, Brother Fourteen doesn't want to see me!" ”

Xiao Yan is serious, "He loves you in his heart." ”

"Poof!" The eldest princess of Anping, who had not gone far, laughed loudly.

Xiao Yu and his children: ......

Xiao Long smiled happily and suddenly realized, "Oh——! Turning his head and winking at Xiao Cheng, he winked his beautiful phoenix eyes, "Fourteenth brother, I love you too." ”

Xiao Chengjun's face turned red, he raised his chin and snorted, "Who loves you." "Pedaled away.

Behind him was a string of laughter.

Xiao Cheng said in annoyance, Xiao Seventeen is the most hateful.

***

At the end of July, the weather was already cold, and the daylight was shortened, and it was not yet light when Xiao Yan got up. She meditated for two quarters of an hour as usual, and then got up and wore a short brown sword practice, but today's time for practicing the knife was shortened, and after returning to the house to bathe, she put on a sacrificial dress and admired the ritual knife, and went directly to her father's Rui Si Hall, led by a patriarch elder, to the Patriarch Elder's House on Zongmiao Mountain.

Red lanterns were lit everywhere in the Guogong Mansion, and the entire Lanling Alley was already lit up. On Lanling Mountain, the thirty-six lampposts standing in front of Zongmiao Square have also been lit, and the fiery red light illuminates the sky on that side.

At the second moment, on the square of the temple, there was already a dark color sacrificial dress, and there were thousands of children standing solemnly, so quiet that the needle could be heard. Xiao Yan is also wearing a dark color sacrificial dress, and two crossed gladiolus are embroidered with gold thread on the right placket, which is both an orchid and a crossed sword, elegant and sharp, this is the sacrificial dress decoration of the elders of the Xiao clan, but there is no golden thread crossed gladiolus on her sleeves, which means that she is not in power, but only an honorary patriarch.

She did not stand in the crowd of children, but stood quietly at the end of the red felt leading to the gate of the temple, her posture was handsome and upright, like a gladiolus, very eye-catching. The Xiao disciples standing in the square all looked at her out of the corner of their eyes, but at first glance they ignored the amazing appearance - because of her aura! Just standing there quietly, there is a kind of overwhelming momentum on the body, all the children just squint at the past, and feel that they are suddenly in the vast deep sea, crushed by the infinite mighthttp://.5./books/19/19598/

http://.5./books/19/19598/

The four great talents came down to earth.

"Bang bang bang!" After looking away, the children were still frightened, and after suffocation, their hearts thumped as if they were beating out. They were all shocked in their hearts, they all felt very powerful when they heard that Xiao Qiqi had been promoted to the Great Perfection of the Cave True Realm, but they also felt that this was a talent and good luck, maybe they still relied on the precious pills and other resources in the clan to pile up, and they were inevitably jealous and sour, and they were not convinced, thinking that if they could get these resources, they would also soar to the sky, but at this time, they personally felt the majestic and vast power that completely crushed them, and they really knew how powerful this power was-under that kind of coercion, they were completely just a small fish and shrimp, It can be crushed by the waves of the deep sea at any time. For a while, those jealous and unconvinced feelings were all annihilated, and only fear and respect were awe.

Mo said that the children below these grandmasters, even the grandmasters in the square, were also shocked by Xiao Yan's revealed momentum, silently comparing the gaps, and their hearts were suddenly awe-inspiring. Moreover, this deep-sea power is very condensed, it is definitely tempered by thousands of tempers, and it cannot be the floating soil on the pile of pills. There are also some talented masters in the square, who have advanced to the true realm of the cave in their twenties, eighteen, or thirties, and they are inevitably conceited in their hearts, and at this time they all feel that they have been crushed into scum, and the hidden pride and conceit instantly become smoke clouds, and their eyes are instantly clear, and their mood is condensed a little. The elders of the old and serious guardian clan watched coldly, and nodded slightly in their hearts-Xiao Seventeen's flag tree is good.

Xiao Yan's aura became more and more restrained and mellow after she advanced, and her usual edge was not outward, but since the clan wanted to set her up as the banner, she couldn't keep a low profile at this time, the more she could show her strength and shock, the more she could receive the effect of encouragement, and she was already standing on the cusp of the waves, and she must also be appropriately high-profile, suppress the jealousy below, establish her prestige, and eliminate the suspicion and distrust that she became an honorary protector elder at a young age.

This kid is good, he can judge the situation, and the elders of the Protector Clan who watched coldly nodded slightly in their hearts: If you want to become an Elder Protector in the future, it is not enough to be pure in nature, but also to have the wisdom to deal with things, this kid can break things, very good.

"Sacrifice!"

Thousands of children sat on the mat together, looking solemnly at the gate of the temple, Xiao Yan's eyes were calm, and the white socks stepped on the red felt step by step and entered smoothly, kneeling three times and knocking nine times, to tell the ancestors.

I use my blood to defend the glory of the family. I take my way, to the galaxy and the sky.

***

After the sacrifice was over, Xiao Yan followed the Great Elder Xiao Xian to the Protector Elder's House.

The Huzu Elder's House is built on the mountain behind the temple, and it is a tower courtyard surrounded by seven towers, pale blue and emerald green, just like the feeling of the Jiangwu Pagoda on Xiao Mountain - the coexistence of simplicity and vitality.

"Why are they all towers?" Xiao Yan asked strangely in his heart.

"Because the tower is high, it is closer to the sky." Great Elder Xiao Xian, who is also Xiao Yan's fourth cousin, replied to her.

"Yes, I see."

In the martial arts, who doesn't want to be closer to the Heavenly Dao?

Xiao Yan followed the Great Elder up to a tower in the west.

"This is the Guardian Tower." The Great Elder sued her. Inside enshrines the spirit tablets and portraits of the elders of the Xiao clan in the past generations, as well as the tablets of the deceased cave realm elders who have contributed to the Xiao clan. Xiao Yan was in awe and dressed up.

There are a total of nine layers of the spirit protection tower, and the spirit rooms on the three floors below are already full, Xiao Yan enters each spirit room to burn incense and worship. This is the process that must be passed through to promote the elder of the Guardian Clan, although Xiao Yan is an honorary elder who does not care about anything, but this process of "respecting the ancestors and understanding the responsibility" is indispensable.

Coming out of the Spirit Guardian Tower, Xiao Yan followed the Great Elder to a tower in the north. It is a stele tower, each floor is separated from the stele room, erected a piece of green jade and black jade obelisk stele, green jade is the elder inscription, black jade is the elder inscription stele. The Great Elder led her up to a tablet room on the fifth floor, and she pressed her right palm print on a newly erected black jade tablet, and the Great Elder used his fingers as a knife to engrave her name and age on the tablet, and the time when she was promoted to the elder of the Protector Clan, this is remembered by Leshi. Every obelisk tablet is an honor and responsibility.

After leaving the monument, enter the tower on the east side. In the hall on the first floor, the elders of the Protector Clan in Hezhou are already presenthttp://.5./books/19/19600/

http://.5./books/19/19600/

(Rebirth) Cangxi. Xiao Yan took off her boots and went inside, and worshiped the elders of the Protector Clan, among which Xiao Xun and Xiao Jian were the elders she was already familiar with, and she was more cordial. Because she was the youngest—the youngest Protector Elder here, who was also her clan's elder—she came down to receive a lot of greeting gifts. After the salute, under the witness of the elders of the Protector Clan, the Great Elder put a pen to record her name and surname in the golden book, and awarded her the Elder Order of the Protector Clan, at this time, Xiao Yan has truly become the Elder of the Protector Clan of the Xiao Clan - although he is not in power, his future identity, resources and treatment provided by the Xiao Clan are different, including many secret places will be open to her.

When I came out of the Protector Elder's House, it was almost noon.

Xiao Yan immediately went down the mountain, went back to Qingning Courtyard to bathe and change clothes, changed into the dress of the scholars who participated in the feast, first went to his father's Rui Si Hall, and then went to the Ming Hall in the front yard of the Guogong Mansion with his father to participate in the congratulatory banquet of the whole family gathering and celebration.

Xiao Yan is the protagonist of the banquet, and he attracted attention as soon as he entered the hall. Her momentum has long since converged, and it is not as terrifying as the deep sea in front of the temple, and at a glance people notice her amazing appearance, and the breath of the entire Ming Hall seems to stop, as if the light is shining brightly, making people forget to breathe. Of course, there is still calmness, but these old generations are very happy to see this kind of distraction scene, which reminds them of their youthful years, and remembers the amazing people when they were young, and they all smile.

In order to facilitate drinking, the celebration banquet was divided according to the male and female elders and children, and the concubines sitting together spoke warmly, Xiao Yan's fourteenth uncle smiled and said: "The threshold of the Guogong Mansion is about to be broken. Uncle Nineteen said, "Not really." Two years ago, the Duchess said that all the major families were inquiring about Seventeen Lang's undecided marriage, and now they are even more eager. He sighed again, "Hey, Seventeen Lang is so handsome, he will really be under pressure to be his wife in the future." The concubines around laughed and nodded thoughtfully: Of course the husband is handsome, but if he is too handsome, he has to worry.

The banquet was staggered.

Xiao Yan first respects the elders of the Guardian Clan, then respects each other with other elders, then respects the elders of the Deacon of the Clan Council, and then respects the other elders of the Clan, at this time her identity is different, and the martial arts realm is only under the congenital, and there are really a few people in the seat who can accept her salute safely, except for the Guardian Elders of the Great Perfection of the Cave True Realm, they all raised their lamps to salute in return after drinking.

Xiao Cheng sat in the seat of the younger generation, staring at his younger brother from afar, his eyes were complicated, and his mood was complicated, including pride, grievance, and pressure. Xiao Jue said in a cold voice: "Jealous? Xiao Cheng turned his head and glared at him, "Jealous fart!" I call this unyielding, don't talk if you don't understand. Xiao Jue said coldly, carrying the wine jug, "It's better to say more than to do it." Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows, tilted his chin, picked up the wine jug, and beckoned to the cousins around him, "Go drink with Seventeen." ”

The cousins had already been itching when they were drinking and talking, and when they saw that the elders were almost drunk, they all followed Xiao Cheng and Xiao Yu over.

Xiao Yan sat on the seat of the elder of the Protector Clan, these children were still a little restrained in the face of the elders of the Protector Clan, but after the banquet was respected, their courage was enlarged, and when they arrived at Xiao Yan's side, they completely let go.

The eldest princess of Anping sighed, "This is really intoxicating love." ”

Ladies and Dependents: ......

It's going to get drunk...... Indulge in love or something, hehe.

The banquet was drunk until the evening.

Xiao Yan was not drunk, the young man was already drunk for a long time, and Xiao Cheng and Xiao Ying all went back in a sitting position. Those who drank with Xiao Yan to the later were all the Cave True Realm Grandmasters in the clan. Grandmasters are not easy to get drunk when they drink, they only need to use their true qi to precipitate and isolate the alcohol in the liquor, but they have high requirements for the fine control of their true qi, and the more they drink, the more they need to divide their true qi into more filaments to precipitate and isolate, so when they drink it, they don't drink but fight for strength. Xiao Yan was saluted and drank thousands of cups in turn, the small cup in the middle was changed to a large cup, the grandmaster drank each other and the big cup was changed to Jiaohu, and the wine drunk by one person was hundreds of catties, and finally walked out of the Ming Hall in a sober and normal way to show her strength, not only the true qi is deep and condensed, but also the fine control of the true qi Cheng dù is amazing - this kind of Cheng dù is even the great elder of the Protector Xiao Xian, who is not as good as himself. …… After a wine banquet, Xiao Yan's strength evaluation in the clan has gone up a bit.

In September, there were rumors in the clan that Xiao Seventeen was the first person below the Xiao Clan's Congenital Realm.

This rumor did not rise out of nowhere.

In fact, after the banquet in the Guogong Mansion, Xiao Yan had various discussions with the elders of the clan and the elders of the protector clanhttp://.5./books/19/19599/

http://.5./books/19/19599/

The prosperous concubine of the evil phoenix. The atmosphere of martial arts exchange in the Xiao clan is very strong, and it is very common for grandmasters to learn from each other, there are early, middle and late stage grandmasters who take the initiative to seek advice from Xiao Yan, and there are also clan protector elders who Xiao Yan asks for advice - of course, they are all at the Great Perfection level of the Cave True Realm. After these discussions, Xiao Yan has no defeats. However, when she learned from several Great Perfection Protector Elders, except for a few parties, no one knew the outcome of the victory. Xiao Yan knew that this was the protection of the Elders' House for her, and the name "the first person below the Xiao family's congenital level" was too loud, and the Elders' House thought that it would attract more attention from the outside world, which might not be good for her.

Although the vast majority of the children in the clan knew that Xiao Yan was very powerful, if it was said that she could defeat the Great Elder, the Second Elder, and their elders, many people still didn't believe it, so as soon as the elders in the clan guided her, this rumor quickly sank.

Xiao Yan didn't care about these names, she was precipitating her own gains—although she won the battle with the elders, she also benefited a lot from them. These elders surpassed her in the experience and skills she had cultivated over the years, and she was better in the depth and length of her true qi and fine control, as well as her Void Sword Technique—defeating the Great Elder and the Second Elder, the two most powerful Cave True Realm Great Perfections, relied on her "Wu" character sword technique, and she still couldn't compare to it in terms of experience and skills.

After this precipitation, she has made progress in martial arts. When she entered Xiaoshan again in October, her aura became more mellow, and her aura was so restrained that even the Cave True Realm Grandmaster couldn't see the depth.

When Xiao Chi saw her, he smiled and praised: "Not bad." ”

Xiao Yan re-entered the deep valley of the martial arts hall, and there was a feeling that more than ten years had passed, but in fact, he had only been away for three years, perhaps because he had experienced life and death tribulations and complicated feelings, and had been contemplating for a long time.

Xiao Chi took her to his bamboo building, and after sitting down, he asked her, "Mr. Mo Xu told you about the ancient times, right?" ”

"Yes, the Pavilion Master said briefly."

Xiao Chi asked again: "Have you read "Ancient Original History"? ”

"Not yet." Xiao Yan replied honestly, "Originally, I wanted to borrow the royal family, but then I thought that I was going back to Hexi soon, so I might as well go home and look at it again, so I didn't borrow it." ——The Great Elder said, you are my martial master, and you will arrange the reading of history. ”

Xiao Chi bowed, "That's what I meant." ”

Xiao Yan was slightly surprised.

Xiao Chi's gaze was far away, as if looking through the years to the extremely distant time and space, "Do you know why it's called 'original history'?" The original, the source also, is the origin, but also the original, the beginning. It is the true face of human origin, and the original face of the world. If you want to know the source of martial arts, the root of the apocalypse, you have to read the original history. ”

The small rattan box resting on the pine table flew out flat, and she said, "This is a copy of the printed copy." Next door is your room, you go back to the house and read it, and then come back to talk. ”

"Yes." Xiao Yan took the rattan box with both hands and bowed out.

When she returned to the house, she opened the box, and there were twenty-one volumes of this "Original History", no wonder it was packed in a small box. The first volume begins with a "preface" written by Emperor Gaozong, stating that this is an engraved copy of the jade slips of divine consciousness left over from ancient times, and it is issued to all families to understand "where human beings come from" before pondering the ultimate question of "where human beings are going".

Xiao Yan suddenly realized, it turned out that all the families that the pavilion master said knew that it was from the time of Gaozong. She thought about it deeply, and couldn't help but respect Gaozong, so that all the families knew that the ancestors were originally from apes, and no one was more noble than others, which probably had an impact on the supreme power of the emperor. But Gojong dared to do so. Xiao Yan remembered what her mother said: "The weak, the weak is not the strength, but the mentality." Correspondingly, the strongest, the strongest, is not strength, bloodline, etc., but courage, confidence, and courage.

Xiao Yan's heart fluctuated for a while, and he felt that he had something to gain, so he closed his eyes and was silent for a while before opening the scroll again and continuing to read.

She started reading it in the morning and didn't finish it until the first watch in the evening, which was too slow for the speed of browsing with her divine sense. But it's not that she's slow, it's that there's so much to think about. She first used her divine sense to quickly go through it, then looked carefully, thinking while watching, and took out another hour to meditate and practice the knife in the middle, and the time passed.

I got up early the next morning, exercised morning as usual, and then went to see my master, and asked, "Is the Heavenly Road sealed by the Terrans themselves?" ”
