Chapter 3 Confidential Talks

The Yechen family does not live in the night house, but in the city lord's mansion in the center of Zhennan City. After Yechen settled his son, he was called to their room by An Qing. "Brother Chen, I have something to tell you. Yechen was very puzzled, An Qing had always spoken very bluntly, why was it a little different today. But he didn't think much about it, he closed the door with a sound, and turned his head to look at An Qing, "Say, what's the matter, God is mysterious." An Qing had a serious look on her face and said, "It has something to do with Yu'er." Yechen had a suddenly realized expression, "You mean, don't talk about tonight's events, right?" I also know that Yu'er's good talent is not necessarily a good thing. If it spreads, it will inevitably be that some rats and sparrows will have crooked thoughts, and I will never tell anyone before Yu'er reaches the Yuan Realm. An Qing shook her head and said, "It's not just this. Do you know why our clan wants to go into hiding?" Yechen shook his head, but An Qing had never mentioned this matter to him. "Our clan has a very long history, and it was the controller of the Central Plains order tens of thousands of years ago, and there are many masters in the clan, which is not what we can imagine now. But suddenly one day, the rules of heaven and earth seemed to change, and although my people practiced penance all day long, instead of growing, their cultivation began to regress. It caused great panic throughout the clan. It is said that several elders who were the highest cultivators in the clan at that time secretly paid a huge price to change this situation, I don't know the process, but the final result was a failure, except for one elder who was seriously injured and returned, the rest of the elders never appeared again. Without the deterrence of a few elders, our clan's position in the Central Plains was in jeopardy, and the life of the seriously injured elder was also in danger. In the end, he used incredible means to predict a heavenly opportunity for our clan, and after many years, there will be an eight-grade talent in our clan, who will save our clan's crisis, lead our clan back to the peak, and repeat the glory of our clan 10,000 years ago. Soon after, the elder sat down, and our clan no longer had any reliance on continuing to survive in the Central Plains, so the clan moved here, and several powerful people in the clan founded the formation world at that time, and used the remaining resources of the clan to prepare a treasure belonging to him for the prophesied Son of Destiny. After that, our people never appeared in front of the eyes of the world again. For tens of thousands of years, one generation of our clan has been inferior to one generation, not to mention the eight-grade talent, and even the sixth-grade talent will only appear for a long time. Moreover, because the exercises practiced by our clan were different from those of outsiders, as if they were not recognized by heaven and earth, even those six-rank talents did not enter the Yuan realm. After so many years, although our people have never forgotten the prophecy of their ancestors. But as the situation got worse and worse, everyone thought that it was just an exhortation from the elders of the clan, and no longer gave hope. It wasn't until today, after seeing Yu'er's test, that I realized that this prophecy turned out to be true, and Yu'er is the legendary child of destiny!Brother Chen, is it okay to let Yu'er practice my clan's exercises?" Yechen pondered for a long time before he said to An Qing, "Qing'er, can you show me your clan's cultivation exercises?" An Qing nodded, got up and opened a drawer of her dresser, reached under the drawer, groped for a moment, buckled a dark layer, and took out a jade plaque from it. Yechen smiled slightly, and said, "It turns out that you asked me to put a dark layer in your dresser a few years ago just to hide this." An Qing nodded, handed him the jade card, and said, "Close your eyes, inject spiritual power into the jade card, and you can see it." "Yechen has also heard that some big families will seal things like exercise cheats into some specific items through small formations so that they can be stored for a long time. So he wasn't much surprised, according to An Qing's words, he injected spiritual power into the jade card, and really found that some words appeared in his mind, so he calmed down and looked at it. An Qing was not in a hurry, just waited quietly on the side. After a long time, Yechen opened his eyes, sighed, and said to An Qing, "I have to say, that predecessor of your ancestor is really great, he can even think of using his own body as a medium to constantly communicate with heaven and earth when cultivating, and cultivate the five elements in the Yuan Realm and Yin and Yang in the Earth Realm. This is far more in line with heaven and earth than ordinary exercises, and it must be twice the result with half the effort when you practice, and after you reach the Yuan Realm, you can attract more spiritual power from heaven and earth, no wonder your clan was able to flourish ten thousand years ago. It's just that, if the aura is thin in the world today, and you also said that your clan's exercises are almost impossible to cultivate, Yu'er has such a good talent, if you practice the night family exercises first, and then change to a more advanced technique after the Yuan Realm, the future is limitless, and you may even reach the legendary realm. But if you practice your clan's exercises, you may not even be able to break through the Yuan Realm. And your clan's exercises are very domineering, as long as you choose this exercise, you can't transfer to other methods, Qing'er, I hope you can still think about it more. An Qing lowered her head, looking very depressed, and said slowly, "Why don't I know the risks? It's just that this is what my clan has been waiting for tens of thousands of years." Brother Chen, you won't understand how terrible the stubbornness accumulated over tens of thousands of years is. Yu'er is my child, of course I don't want him to take any risks, but this is the fate of my clan, Yu'er is also a member of my clan, and I hope he can carry the burden of these ten thousand years. Brother Chen, I'm so embarrassed!" At this point, tears flashed in his eyes. Yechen felt a pain in his heart, stood up, gently took his wife into his arms, and said softly, "Qing'er, you and me, no matter what hardships lie ahead, I will spend it with you." When I brought you out of your hermitage, I secretly swore that I would protect you for the rest of my life and would not let you suffer any grievances. I still remember in the battle of Dragon Slaying City, I faced an army of 70,000 people, how many times did I live on the line of life and death, and what did I rely on to survive? If I die, what will Qing'er do, she is so pure, how can she survive in the world? That's why I never want to fall, just to persevere and return to our home. Qing'er, anyway, your clan's exercises are not very different from ordinary exercises in the human realm, so it's better to let Yu'er practice my Yejia exercises first, and then let him choose by himself when he is thirteen years old, okay?" An Qing raised her head, looked at Yechen with affection, hugged his waist tightly with both hands, and whispered, "Brother Chen, so be it, I'll listen to you." The two stopped talking and hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to melt the person in their arms into their bodies.

In the early morning of the second day, Ye Feiyu was dragged out of the bed by his father early, and after grooming as fast as possible under his father's instructions, the father and son came to the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Ye Chen looked down at Ye Fei Yu and asked, "Yu'er, what do you want to do in the future?" As soon as this was mentioned, Ye Fei Yu's eyes shone with longing, and he said to his father excitedly, "I hope to become a majestic general like my father and defend my family and country." Yechen was very satisfied with his son's answer, he nodded with satisfaction, "If you want to become a general, you can't just talk about it, although you have amazing talent, if you don't work hard, you may not achieve anything." As soon as his father's words were finished, he understood what his father meant, and bent down and said, "I also hope that my father will teach me to practice the exercises." Yechen also felt that his son was indeed much smarter than himself, and he stopped talking nonsense at the moment, "From today on, your life will not be as easy as usual." In the future, I will teach you swordsmanship here every morning, send a special teacher to teach you archery after lunch, and ask someone to explain the art of war to you in the afternoon. As long as you master these things, you will have the possibility of becoming a great general. If you can't make it, don't think about it. Ye Feiyu was provoked by his father, but he did not show weakness, and said loudly to his father, "Father, just watch, I will definitely complete all your tasks." Yechen laughed, "Okay, good, my Yechen's son will definitely not be worse than myself." The Father expects your performance. Next, I will first explain to you the specific content of our Night Family Star Swordsmanship and the level division of cultivators. The Xingchen Sword Method is left by the ancestors who founded the Tang Kingdom thousands of years ago, and it is divided into four moves, namely the [Force Splitting Huashan] for attack and the [Sword Sweeping Quartet] for sprinting and displacement, and the [Dripping Water] for defense, these four moves are all beginner-level spells, but the combined power is even comparable to a high-level spell, and the Xingchen Sword and the Yejia Exercise are called the three major battles of our Ye family, and they have a certain reputation in the entire northern Xinjiang. The cultivators are divided into the four realms of human, element, earth, and heaven, among which the human realm has four stages: solid, vein, soul shaping and condensation, and after condensation, it is the Yuan realm, and the Yuan realm is divided into five stages: peeping into the Yuan realm, latent Yuan realm, solving the Yuan realm, melting the Yuan realm, and breaking the Yuan realm. As for the realm and the heavenly realm after the Yuan realm, they are already legendary realms, and I don't know the specific division. You started practicing the Yejia Gong Method a few months ago. But the swordsmanship of the stars can't be taught to you right now, you need to start with the simplest basic moves, which are split, slash, intercept, tease, pick, hook, pierce, pierce, wipe, sweep, point, collapse, hang, and cloud. You need to learn and apply these fourteen styles first, and then I will pass on the Star Sword Technique to you. In fact, all the swordsmanship in the world is evolved from these fourteen basic sword moves, but the swordsmanship uses the power of heaven and earth, so that the power of the sword can be better exerted. Okay, then you use the iron sword on the side to keep slashing forward, repeat a hundred times, the action must be standard, otherwise the previous times will not be counted, and start again. Then another hundred slashes forward, and so on. Ye Feiyu's little face immediately showed a look of frustration, and he thought that he would be able to learn the Xingchen Sword Technique right away and show off in front of his partner, but who knew that he was just learning simple sword moves. But he also understands the truth that if you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. So although it was not very positive, there were no complaints. Yechen nodded, his son's heart is also very good, he is not impatient or impatient, he should be able to persevere. So he watched Ye Feiyu practice swords alone, and if there was any irregularity, he pointed it out. Noon passed inadvertently. After lunch, Ye Feiyu met his archery teacher, a middle-aged man with thick calluses on his hands and bright eyes, who was a famous archer in the Tang Kingdom - Fu Xin. He happened to be serving in Zhennan City, although he was not a Yejia army, he also respected Yechen very much, so when Yechen approached him and hoped that he could teach his son archery, he also agreed to come down in one mouth. As for the art of war, although Yechen himself is also proficient, after all, it is not specially taught, and many concepts have long been blurred, so he did not teach it himself, but invited the best teacher from Chang'an to come over to teach his son. Xiao Feiyu's day was spent in such a full arrangement.
