But Di Tian knew that this Xu Lao was definitely a master.

At the beginning, the emperor heard his mother mention that this Xu Lao entered the imperial mansion together when his mother married into the emperor's family. Because in the early years, my mother's father, that is, Ditian's grandfather, seemed to have been very kind to that Xu Lao. So later, after the death of Ditian's grandfather, Xu Lao took on the responsibility of taking care of his mother, and until his mother married into the emperor's family, he was still guarding him.

As for the details of this, my mother didn't say too much, and Di Tian didn't want to ask too much.

But Di Tian had heard from his father's mouth, that Xu Lao, I am afraid that his strength is unfathomable, and even his father, who is the strength of the late stage of the human world, is difficult to see. It's just that Xu Lao never approaches people easily, and no one can command him except his mother.

If he had him by his side on this trip to Zhongshu City, it would undoubtedly add another reassurance to Di Tian's heart.

Zhongshu City is not very far from Qingzhou City, only about seventy or eighty miles away. After eating, Di Tian told Emgrand that he was going to Zhongshu City, and Emgrand didn't say a word, and immediately went over to prepare to go out. Then he also picked a few good skills in the imperial palace and asked them to follow him.

And not long after everything was ready, news also came from Hsinchu, saying that Xu Lao had also agreed to go with them.

Hearing this news, Di Tian couldn't help but be overjoyed. The reason why he had to go to Zhongshu City this time was because he had a strange feeling in his heart, as if something unexpected would happen over there. If Xu Lao can follow, he will undoubtedly have a powerful assistant, and if something really happens, he will be able to deal with it.

In front of the imperial mansion, Liu Shuyao was seeing off Di Tian and others.

Di Tian looked at his mother, who seemed to be a little worried, and smiled: "Mother, don't worry, there should be no problem with Elder Xu coming with us." Besides, we're just going to Zhongshu City, and although something happens there, it's not necessarily dangerous, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

Liu Shuyao nodded, forced a smile and said: "I know for my mother, but I don't know why, Tian'er, when you go out this time, my mother's heart has been feeling a little panicked, as if ......"

Before he finished speaking, Di Tian hurriedly smiled, deliberately changed the topic and interrupted: "Mother, you miss your father, I haven't seen you for a few days, so it's better than a newlywed." I had to talk to my father this time, so that he could finish the matter quickly so that he could go home with his mother. ”

Liu Shuyao couldn't help but feel angry and funny when she heard this, and scolded with a smile: "You bastard who is neither big nor small, as soon as your father is gone, the whole child will be exposed." Why didn't you see your father when he was here, you were so flamboyant? ”

Di Tian pursed his lips and said, "Father, that's a stuffy gourd, what's the point of having a poor mouth with him." Okay, without further ado, if we set off now, as long as we hurry up, we should be able to reach Zhongshu City before dark. When you get there, the child will be the first to come back and tell you that you are safe. ”

Liu Shuyao nodded, and then turned her head to look at the old man in a green shirt who had been standing aside without speaking.

The old man in the green shirt looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, of medium height, with a thin face, and he did not say a word from the very beginning, and his eyes did not look at anyone, giving people the feeling that he was half-open and half-closed, like a fugue. However, Di Tian occasionally glanced at him, but he seemed to feel a glimmer of light flashing in the corner of Xu Lao's eyes, and cast it on his body intentionally or unintentionally.

In this regard, Di Tian pretended not to notice it, after all, he did not feel the slightest malice in Xu Lao's body.

Maybe Xu Lao was a little strange when he saw that he suddenly opened a coffin. When Emperor Tian was judged to be unable to cultivate, Xu Lao also came to see it, and his opinion at that time was similar to those people, it was nothing more than Emperor Tian's special physique, I am afraid that it is unlikely that he wants to cultivate in this life.

However, Emperor Tian has his own fate, even if he is a senior master such as Xu Lao, how can he predict everything.

Liu Shuyao said to Xu Lao: "Uncle Xu, Tian'er will leave it to you." ”

Xu Lao raised his eyelids and glanced at her, but nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.

Obviously, Liu Shuyao was very familiar with Xu Lao's temperament, and she also smiled, so she didn't say any more nonsense. Then she also told Emgrand a few words, and then reluctantly sent them away.

Di Tian and the others originally wanted everyone to be equipped with a fast horse, so that if the horse was whipped up quickly, the process should be much faster. But later, considering that Xu Lao was already old, it was probably not good for him to keep his old man churning on horseback like this, so he changed to two carriages and went all the way to the north.

On the way, Ditian, Xu Lao, and Emgrand rode in the same carriage.

Emgrand sat in front of the car to catch the car, and Ditian and Xu Lao sat in the carriage.

As soon as the two of them got into the car, Xu Lao sat there by himself, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, without looking at him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Di Tian didn't want to find a topic to talk to. Although they have lived in the imperial mansion for more than ten years, if they are seriously calculated, from childhood to adulthood, the number of times Emperor Tian has really communicated with Xu Lao is only a handful. No matter what time it was, when Di Tian saw Xu Lao, he felt that he always seemed to have a straight face, always meticulous, which made people feel difficult to get close to.

Seeing that Xu Lao didn't seem to want to talk to him, Di Tian suddenly felt a burst of interest. Originally, he also wanted to take the opportunity to walk with Xu Lao this time, so that he could ask Xu Lao some questions about cultivation.

Now, however, it seems that his wish is about to be frustrated.

So Di Tian simply closed his eyes, and wanted to sleep for a while, but how could he sleep when the carriage and horses fell on the road. So he simply crossed his legs, and began to run the exercises, and actually practiced the exercises.

The Emperor Xuangong that Emperor Tian is cultivating now is the most important thing about being strong and domineering. Moreover, the most powerful thing about this exercise is that when it is practiced, it can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth exponentially, or even several times, and can absorb these vitality into the body faster than ordinary people.

In fact, since Emperor Tian opened a coffin and could officially cultivate, he originally wanted to regain the technique he had cultivated in his previous life. However, after careful consideration, he felt that the most important thing for him at the moment was to lay a good foundation and store vitality.

And this set of Emperor Xuangong is undoubtedly the best choice.

The way of cultivation is nothing more than relying on special methods to temper the physique, so as to achieve the effect of strengthening the physique. And since ancient times, there have been rumors that if you can cultivate to the extreme, you can even become an immortal and gain eternal life. This legend, whether on the earth or in today's Tianyan Continent, has this kind of saying.

Become an immortal?

Sometimes Di Tian accidentally thought of his original attempt to take his life against the sky for the girl who often appeared in his dreams, and he couldn't help but feel ridiculous. That kind of thing, whether it is for oneself in the past life or for oneself now, is undoubtedly out of reach.

However, sometimes people always need to give themselves an unattainable goal, so that it is possible to create miracles, right?

Di Tian always comforted himself like this.

The carriage was shaky, although the cultivation level of the Heavenly Continent was much higher than when it was on Earth, but this standard of living was a big drop in name.

After sitting quietly for a while, Emperor Tian's fortune turned around for a small week, and then he woke up and turned around.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he suddenly felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at him, and he couldn't help but startle his heart.

looked at it closely, but it turned out that it was Xu Lao who was looking at him.

Di Tian couldn't help coughing lightly twice, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Xu, Old Xu, what are you looking at me like this." ”

Hearing this, Xu Lao didn't say anything, just slowly withdrew his eyes, closed his eyes again, and fell silent.

Di Tian couldn't help muttering in his heart, and said secretly: This old man didn't take any medicine wrong, right? Why didn't anyone pay attention to what anyone said? Even if he was a master, he was too arrogant, right? However, at this time, he suddenly heard a voice ringing in his ears: "You little fellow, you are really not small, you dare to practice on the carriage." ”

When Di Tian heard this, he immediately looked at Xu Lao, although he didn't see Xu Lao's lips moving, but there were only two of them in this carriage, who else could it be?

Just when Di Tian was secretly wondering there, he suddenly heard the voice in his ear again: "Don't look at it, it's the old man." ”

Di Tian couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Old Xu, I haven't seen you talk to me for so many years, and I thought you hated me very much." ”

But he heard the voice say, "Little one, don't be poor. For you, a thoughtful boy, the old man doesn't hate it, but he doesn't like it either. The reason why I don't talk to people is because of my old man. ”

Emperor Tian subconsciously asked, "What is the reason?"

When the words fell, he suddenly saw Xu Lao open his eyes, stared at Di Tian for a moment, and was silent for a while, and then suddenly opened his mouth slightly.

Di Tian looked at it and was immediately shocked in his heart.

"Old Xu, you ...... Your ......"

"The old man has no tongue, so naturally he can't speak like ordinary people, now you understand. Old Xu's voice sounded in his ears again.

And Di Tian, who saw this scene, was too shocked in his heart, although he only glanced at it in a hurry just now, but he clearly saw it very clearly, in that Xu Lao's mouth, it was empty, and there was no tongue.

No wonder Xu Lao hasn't seen him talk to anyone for so many years, it turns out that this is the case.

So it seems that he should be communicating with himself by now?

But there is one point, Di Tian is still a little puzzled. Because in his opinion, although Emperor Tian can't see the strength of Xu Lao, it is estimated that he should have the cultivation of the heavenly realm. That's a peerless master who has opened the three-story coffin, a master like this, how can anyone cut his tongue?

Di Tian couldn't figure it out.

"Don't think about it, the old man's tongue was cut off by myself, as for the reason, you don't have to ask, and the old man won't say it if you ask. It's you kid, the old man feels a little strange, why haven't you seen it for a few days, the layer of pulse qi in your body has actually broken a gap, and it has also opened a flood and opened a coffin?"

Hearing this, Di Tian smiled, Xu Lao has his own unspeakable secrets, why not himself.

After thinking about it, he decided to say half-truthfully: "I don't know what's going on, but I went to the depths of Qiyun Mountain yesterday, where I met a fifth-order demon beast black-toothed python and almost lost my life." Later, he was lucky enough not to die and escaped back, and the pulse qi in his body inexplicably broke open. To be honest, I don't know why, maybe this is the so-called catastrophe that will not die must be blessed. ”

"Is it really possible to break and then stand?" Old Xu's voice seemed to feel a little incredible.

But it's no wonder, after all, the layer of pulse qi wrapped in Emperor Tian's body at the beginning was very special, and it must not be forcibly broken by external force, otherwise Emperor Tian would have only one end, that is, all the muscles and veins in his body would be broken and he would die. However, the Heavenly Dao Sword was originally in Di Tian's body, but it had been falling into a deep sleep, and when he was fighting against the black-toothed python yesterday, the Heavenly Dao Sword felt that Di Tian had reached the point of life and death, so he woke up at a critical juncture.

The origin of this Heavenly Dao Sword is unknown, but the power is very magical, and the moment the power breaks out of the body, it also breaks through a gap in the layer of veins wrapped in Emperor Tian's body. However, these things are still unclear to Emperor Tian, so he can't explain why he can suddenly cultivate, so he can only make up a reason for the time being.

At this time, before Emperor Tian could reply, the old Xu Lao's voice suddenly said: "Since you have such an opportunity, it also shows that your fortune is profound, and you may have great achievements in the future." But as far as you did just now, there is something wrong. At the beginning of cultivation, laying a good foundation is the most important thing. Especially when you are practicing, you must not be uncertain, and we are in the middle of the carriage and horse, and you have actually entered the state of practicing. With you just opening a coffin now, you can't control your divine consciousness at will, you can keep an eye on the situation around you at any time, and you can wake up at any time, this practice is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will even go crazy and lose your life. ”

Emperor Tian naturally knew that what Xu Lao said was true, but he was talking about those who had never really cultivated. After all, Di Tian had the experience of his previous life, and he was already too familiar with how to use his divine sense to pay attention to the surrounding situation when he was practicing. It's just that Xu Lao didn't know, and thought that he was really a newcomer to cultivation who had just started, so he kindly reminded him.

Di Tian smiled, first thanked Xu Lao for his reminder, and then began to say poorly: "It's not thanks to Xu Lao by my side that I feel a sense of solid security, boy, so I can confidently and boldly enter the state of practice." However, I have to remind Xu Lao this time, and the kid will definitely pay attention to it in the future. Thank you, Mr. Xu. ”

When Xu Lao heard this, he just glanced at Di Tian, then didn't say anything more, and closed his eyes again.

I don't know how long it took for Di Tian to feel stuffy in the carriage, and he was about to poke his head out to ask Emgrand where he was now. At this moment, he suddenly felt a violent shock in the carriage, and he hit it hard in the carriage without paying attention, until his head was dizzy.

"Emgrand, what's going on?!" Ditian hurriedly asked.

At this time, I only heard Emgrand's somewhat nervous voice outside: "Young master, it seems that someone has blocked the road with a boulder, there may be a situation, be careful." ”

Hearing this, Di Tian subconsciously looked at Xu Lao and wanted to ask for his opinion. However, he saw that Xu Lao was motionless, still closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he hadn't heard at all. Di Tian had no choice but to smile and say, "Old Xu, I'll go out and see what the situation is." ”

Xu Lao nodded in response, but he still didn't say anything.

At this time, Emgrand had already stabilized the frightened horse in front of him and parked the car on the side of the road. Di Tian walked out, and at this time, he saw that the people in the carriage behind him also followed, all looking around with a wary face.

Di Tian looked around, and found that they were in a valley on both sides, flanked by cliffs, and there was only one road between the two mountains. I don't know who piled up a lot of boulders in the middle of the road, just blocking the way.

"What's the matter, are there bandits robbing you?" said an entourage of the imperial family behind him.

Di Tian also frowned, thinking about something. At this time, I heard the emperor on the side say: "This is very close to Sandaokou, and there is a garrison camp of the imperial court at Sandaokou, and I have never heard of bandits appearing near here." But looking at the current situation, it is obvious that someone is deliberately blocking our way, I am afraid that the comer is not good, everyone should be careful. ”

Di Tian nodded in agreement, his eyes glimpsed that there seemed to be a figure floating behind the bushes not far away, so he continued: "Most of these people are coming for us, don't panic, let's see what their intentions are." ”

As soon as Di Tian's words fell, a loud laugh was heard after a while: "Haha, it is really not the eldest young master of the emperor family, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he acts calmly, but it really doesn't look like a person of your age should have." ”

Everyone followed the source of the sound, only to see behind a small bush, more than a dozen people came out one after another, each holding a bright blade in his hand, his face was full of fierce and vicious, obviously the person who came was not good.

Because Emgrand follows Ditian all the year round, most of the two of them don't go out much on weekdays, so they can't recognize who these people are. However, among the entourage brought by Emperor Tian this time, there were a few who had been wandering with the emperor's caravan all the year round, and they had rich experience, and they recognized the tall and strong man at the head at a glance.

"Xingshan Tiger?!How could it be him!"

Di Tian was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at the attendant who was talking beside him, and asked, "Brother Wang, do you know?"
