Sixteenth year of Weiyuan, summer.

After many years, although Xia Luo has been working hard to study the method of alchemy, he still can't make an inch.

Alchemy is more difficult than drawing talismans, it is not a little bit, but it is very difficult.

Even if Xia Luo obtained the fire control technique, he still couldn't refine the elixir used in the cultivation realm with the same precision as using aura.

And what he tried to refine were all those lowest-level elixirs, and they weren't even considered elixirs in the strict sense.

Because the main material is just precious Chinese herbs.

But this is not a problem, as long as you insist on cultivating the fire control technique, as long as you are good enough, you can be very proficient in this exercise.

When the time comes, I will raise the cultivation realm a little higher, so that the quality of the true qi in the body will be raised to a higher level, and then we will take a look.

If he really cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts one day, he would not be able to refine a pill.

And when there was no other way to become stronger, he could only enter the cultivation realm.

However, as it stands, he feels that he is far from reaching the peak of martial arts.

The path of martial arts may be far wider than he imagined.

The year before last, Xia Xiangwen had died, and the head of the Xia family fell to a man named Xia Shouheng.

Because he is relatively young, he also has several uncles to help him manage the Xia family.

On this day at Xia's house, Xia Lu was chatting with Xia Sichou.

"Do you know that a big incident has happened in Tianlei Temple recently?"

Although Xia Sichou is already old, in the face of Xia Luo, his tone is still a little childish.

may be because Xia Luo has taught others to be old since he was a child.

"Tianlei Temple? Buddhism? What does this have to do with me? ”

"Why doesn't it matter, didn't you let Emperor Weiyuan continue to be the emperor back then, and single-handedly suppress the three great grandmasters? Among the three great grandmasters, there is one of the Heavenly Thunder Temple. ”

"Oh, I see, wait! Isn't this a secret? How do you know? ”

After Xia Sichou said this, Xia Luo was a little impressed.

After all, there are only a few people in Kyoto who are a little accomplished in martial arts.

If something happens to these few people, it's a big deal, and it's hard for Xia Luo to think about it.

It's just that I heard that this monk died some time ago, and as soon as he died, something happened to Tianlei Temple......

It's a bit like that, but it's reasonable.

"What's the secret? Now you can pull a random passer-by on the street, and that passerby can tell you about your heroic deeds. ”

"I didn't expect me to be so famous."

Xia Luo frowned, being famous is not a good thing.

But I can't care so much now, anyway, I'm almost invincible in the mortal world now, and no one should be stupid enough to find trouble for myself.

"Aren't you curious about what happened to the Heavenly Thunder Temple?"

"What can it be? It must have been retaliated against by the enemy. ”

"It was retaliated against by the enemy, and now it is estimated that Tianlei Temple cannot find a complete building, it is said that a thousand meters from there, you can hear the strong smell of blood.

But you can't imagine who struck. ”

"Who?"

"Imperial Court!"

"The Imperial Court?"

To be honest, Xia Luo was still a little shocked.

Because in the Tianyuan Dynasty, Buddhism has always been relatively low-key, and no one dares to offend.

The reason is that hundreds of years ago, when Buddhism was at its most prosperous, some Buddhism tried to win over other Buddhism to rebel.

Then he was severely suppressed.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people who believed in Buddhism, otherwise the imperial court would have destroyed Buddhism.

Since then, Buddhism has learned to be obedient, and no one dares to provoke it, but just makes a fortune in a muffled voice.

"How did the Thunder Temple offend the imperial court this day?"

"You know, that grandmaster of the Tianlei Temple wanted to kill the current emperor!

Now that the emperor is relying on me, Fan Chenggang, that guy has secured his position, if you are him, will you take revenge? ”

"I see."

Xia Luo understood, it turned out that Liu Quan's kid hated the monk back then, and then took revenge on the entire temple.

However, now that the Tianyuan Dynasty is short of money, and Buddhism has been collecting money for so many years, it is estimated that Liu Quanneng has made a lot of money at this time.

While thinking about it, a seven or eight-year-old boy ran in and shouted when he saw Xia Sichou.

"Ninth Grandfather."

And Xia Sichou also showed a smile and held the child in his arms.

This kid Xia Luo knows that he is from the Xia family's "10,000" generation.

Since Xia Sichou ranks ninth in the "Si" generation, it is not wrong to call Grandpa Jiu.

Because Xia Sichou likes to tell the children of the Xia family some stories that Xia Luo once told, as well as the stories of his own time in the army, he is still more popular with children.

Somehow, Xia Luo always had the illusion that he saw this child as Xia Sichou's appearance when he was a child.

In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Time flies."

After speaking, he dug into his body and took out a money bag.

Open the purse, pick out the smallest piece of silver from inside, and hand it to the child.

"Come and take it, go buy a box of white cloud cakes for me and your ninth grandfather."

Originally, the kid was very happy, but when Xia Luo said that he was just letting him run errands, his face collapsed, and he looked reluctant.

"The rest of the money is given to you as pocket money, and you can do whatever you want."

Hearing this, the child was overjoyed again, took the money and ran away.

Looking at the back of the child leaving, Xia Luo shook his head.

"It's really the same as you were back then."

Half an hour later, I heard the child's voice coming from outside the door.

"Don't worry about it, I'm looking for Grandpa Nine!"

With that, he rushed into the house.

I saw the child come in angrily, his luxurious silk coat was gone, and only the white undershirt remained.

Even the white underwear is also stained, and there are still a little bruises on the face.

Seeing this, Xia Si was anxious.

"What's going on? Who hit you? ”

"I bought all the white cloud cakes, but a few big children came out, dressed in tatters, and they were about to grab my pastries.

When I didn't give it, they beat me up and robbed me of my clothes and the rest of the money. ”

The child was extremely aggrieved, looking at it like this, he wanted Xia Sichou, who had the highest force value in the Xia family, to come out for him.

Clearly, he made a wise choice.

Because Xia Sichou couldn't hold back when he heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out the door.

Looking at it, I'm afraid that the famous young master in Kyoto has come back again.

But Xia Luo grabbed him.

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear? It's really the opposite, there are still people in Kyoto who dare to do something to the people of the Xia family! ”

Xia Luo shook his head.

"Calm down, think about it, what kind of people are those kids?"

Xia Sichou still listened to Xia Lu's words very much, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood.

Although the Tianyuan Dynasty won the war a few years ago, it still won a great victory.

But because of the amount of money invested in that war, the impact was extremely bad.

Later, due to natural disasters, people from all over the country poured into Kyoto.

Those children were probably brought by the victims, and because they were really hungry, they began to grab food.

"I guess it's the children of the victims, but so what? They are pitiful, but when it comes to bullying my Xia family, I have to teach them a lesson. ”

Hearing this, Xia Luo shook his head again.

"Have you heard about your uncle Xia Xiangwu?"

Xia Sichou nodded: "I know, why are you mentioning this file?" ”

Xia Xiangwu is a scum, and he is a stain on the entire Xia family, so when it comes to Xia Xiangwu, Xia Sichou is a little unhappy.

And he didn't understand why Xia Luo suddenly pulled Xia Xiangwu.

"Do you think there is a possibility that whenever Xia Xiangwu encountered something when he was a child, your father and your grandfather gave him a head, so he became like that?"

At this time, Xia Sichou also reacted.

If this kid finds someone in the family every time he encounters something, then he will never be able to grow up, and the last step will only repeat the mistakes of Xia Xiangwu.

"So what to do? You can't just leave it alone, right? ”

Xia Luo ignored him, but took out the money bag again and found a larger piece of broken silver inside.

"It's a man, so I'm going to buy it."
