Xia Luo built a pavilion in this courtyard, and usually likes to drink here and think about life.

In the winter, Xia Luo had an idea and installed a shed here, and then put three stoves in it, and immediately turned it into a simple conservatory.

No way, the house is too big, and if you put a stove in the house, the heating effect is not so good at all.

Walking into this shack, Liu Anran took off his coat directly.

"It's still your kid who has a good head and made such a place."

Xia Luo said with a smile on his face as he took out his wine glass and the braised pork that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Don't say that, I'm a martial artist, you're the champion, if you want to talk about brains, how can I be better than you?"

As soon as he heard this, Liu Anran's face turned red.

"How did I get that champion, others don't know, don't you know?"

In fact, Liu Anran has been taking exams, and he has never stopped since he joined the Xia family.

But no matter how he took the test, he just couldn't pass it.

This situation lasted until five years ago, when people were almost 30 years old and still a showman.

Although it is normal in this world, Xia Luo always feels very strange.

In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I instilled him with a large number of classic masterpieces from his previous life.

As a result, the question of the last imperial examination can just be answered with the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng".

Sure enough, his article became a sensation and was regarded as a masterpiece by countless readers.

Because of this, he has a civil official in the imperial court, and with the background of Xia Changchang's father-in-law, the future is limitless.

"By the way, what about that kid Xia Sichou? Doesn't he stick to you every day? ”

"Hmph, that kid has also reached the age of talking about marriage, and recently fell in love with the little girl of the Li family, and ran to harass people all day long."

Xia Luo smiled bitterly and stuffed a piece of braised meat into Liu Anran's daughter's mouth.

This daughter is Liu Anran's youngest child and the only girl.

Usually Liu Anran likes this daughter, and she brings her with her wherever she goes.

"When it comes to marriage, why haven't you been looking for a wife? Isn't it lonely to be alone? ”

Speaking of this, Xia Luo was a little moved.

As an immortal, he has an endless lifespan, so what woman in the world can accompany him through his lonely life?

Not to mention girls, Xia Sichou and Liu Anran will leave him one day.

Thinking of this, he just sighed.

"There is no such desire."

Hearing Xia Lu's words, Liu Anran looked at him vigilantly.

"You can't have a dragon yang fetish, right?"

"Get out!"

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Anran inadvertently finally began to get down to business.

"Actually, I was assigned to a county seat to be a county magistrate, which is what you call a promotion and a salary increase."

"That's a good thing."

"So tomorrow, our family will leave the capital, and I don't know when we will be able to come back once."

The transportation in this era was not developed, and it was fine if it was a relatively close county seat.

But a little farther, the journey will take ten days and half a month.

What's more, as an official, it is impossible to say that it will take a long time to leave that place.

So as soon as Liu Anran left this time, he really didn't know when he would come back.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, Xia Luo spoke.

"In general, it's a good thing, and if you mix it up in the future, won't you be able to transfer back to Kyoto at any time?"

Xia Luo raised his wine glass as he spoke, and continued to drink with Liu Anran.

As you live longer, you will only get more and more separated.

And what he has to learn is to let go of unnecessary emotions.

The next day, Liu Anran really left.

Xia Luo didn't say anything, just silently sent Liu Anran and his family into the carriage.

It's Xia Sichou, this kid, who is 16 years old, is still like a child, crying and shouting there that he is reluctant to give up his eldest brother-in-law.

In the end, Xia Luo punched Xia Sichou's head, which made him stop.

Watching the carriage gradually move away, I recalled the scene when I met Liu Anran for the first time.

According to his own words later, he was almost hungry at that time, but he was young and vigorous, and he struggled to maintain his image.

After more than ten years of panic, I am actually twenty-seven, and I will be twenty-eight soon.

After Liu Anran left completely, the crowd that came to see him off also dispersed.

Xia Sichou said that he was going to participate in some poetry appreciation conference, and he ran away alone.

Xia Luo was the only one left.

When he returned to the courtyard, he began to meditate and check his pulse.

His martial arts had been perfected very early on, but he never felt that he had raised his physical body to the extreme, so he continued to refine his body.

The acquired is divided into quenching, marrow washing, and pulse.

Each of them had been reinforced back and forth a dozen times.

Now his physical body can be said to be extremely strong, and he can't continue to strengthen it with mortal exercises anyway.

Now if you want to improve your strength, it seems that you must enter the innate realm.

Open the exercise book that Master Wei handed over to him, and start to practice according to the above method.

Although this was his first formal cultivation, he had already simulated it countless times in his mind.

Over the years, he has wanted to stop staying in the acquired place more than once and go directly to the innate state.

But for the strength of his body, he endured it stubbornly, and it was not until today that he began to prepare to enter the innate state.

The process is long and painful.

After all, it is necessary to burn longevity and form internal force in the body.

Six hours later, as he let out a long sigh of relief, an extra cloud of air appeared in his body.

Feeling the power of this air current, Xia Luo casually slapped it towards the bed board.

There were immediately five more finger prints on the bed board.

He knew that he had officially become an innate martial artist.

Although he can't release his true qi like an internal strength martial artist, because his physical strength is very exaggerated, his combat strength should not lose his internal strength or even turn his strength.

It's just that I've been practicing martial arts for so long, and I've never fought against a martial artist, so I don't know what level my strength is.

As soon as he thought this, his pupils trembled violently.

Then look in one direction.

"Good guy, what do you really want to do!"

At this time, the outer courtyard of the Xia family was full of shacks built at zero hour for those poor scholars to live in.

It's the second half of the night, and even the hardest reader has entered the dream.

A person who seemed to be the same as the other scholars sat up from the bed at the same time, glanced at the scholars around him, and then took out a mask from his arms and put it on his face.

In the next second, the blood-red light that was exactly the same as Lord Wei's eyes passed through the mask and swayed in the dark night.

And his body seemed to be bigger, and he stretched out his hand and strangled a scholar next to him.

Before the poor scholar could wake up from his dream, he felt a huge force coming from his neck, and then he lost consciousness completely.

Next comes the second, the third.

In less than half an hour, all the scholars in the entire shack died inexplicably, and this person walked towards the courtyard as if nothing had happened.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Xia Luo standing outside the door, feeling the breath coming from the other party's body, this person frowned.

"What squad are you? Does the Imperial Forest Army have any other tasks in the Xia family? ”
