The first time he cultivated in the Yunling Pagoda, Xie Chen stayed for seven days!

During these seven days, Xie Chen only concentrated on cultivating, and finally stabilized his still ups and downs in cultivation to the level of a spirit master. And Jian Jiu also found the specific location of the Spirit Bead through the exploration of the Divine Soul.

"Hehe, can you finally bear the loneliness?" The four elders, who had been sitting on the stone platform like skeletons, couldn't help but smile when they saw Xie Chen come out. Although there is a constant replenishment of spiritual power during cultivation, there is no need to eat at all. But it's also boring, and this little guy can't help it.

Xie Chen bowed slightly, "I've seen the four elders." After cultivating for such a long time, the younger generation has gained a lot, and they dare not be greedy. Moreover, I also want to go back and let Tuo Di come here to practice together. ”

"Yes, that's true. Cultivation needs to be done step by step, step by step, to lay a solid foundation. Don't let your cultivation go too far beyond your divine soul, that will be harmful and unbeneficial. The four elders nodded and said lightly.

"Thank you, Fourth Elder, for your advice. Xie Chen bowed again, and then strode out.

"Brother Chen, what have you been doing these past few days?! If it weren't for the chief steward saying that you were cultivating, I would have died in a hurry!"

got the news that Xie Chen was back, and Xie Tuo jumped out as soon as possible. He and Xie Chen have grown up together since they were children and see each other almost every day. Now that Xie Chen has been gone for seven or eight days, the little fat man is naturally anxious.

Xie Chen smiled slightly and said, "Aren't I coming back?" By the way, Xie Tuo, I haven't been here for a few days, nothing happened, right?"

"What can happen?!Except for the fact that the family guards have increased a lot in the past few days, there is nothing else. Seeing Xie Chen's return, Xie Tuo breathed a sigh of relief and said casually without care.

"The number of family guards has increased?" Xie Chen's heart moved, and on the way back, he did see that there were many more family guards outside the inner courtyard than before, and even himself was carefully checked.

"Yes, it's so troublesome, it takes a long time to even get out of the inner courtyard, and if you don't do it for a few days, you can suffocate me." Xie Tuo complained.

"Is Brother Xie Tuo here?" Just as Xie Chen was thinking, an extremely familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Xie Qingyang?!Isn't he in the South Courtyard?Why did he come to the inner courtyard?!Xie Chen's eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at the courtyard gate with flashing eyes.

At this time, Xie Qingyang, who was wearing a leather robe, was smiling and carrying a food box and pushed open the courtyard door. When he raised his eyes, he was facing Xie Chen's eyes.

"Xie Chen?!When did you come back?"

"Hehe, I've seen Brother Qingyang, and I just came back from Yunling Tower. Xie Chen smiled slightly.

Xie Tuo, who was on the side, saw Xie Qingyang coming in, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he grabbed the front in a few steps, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingyang, what delicious food did you bring today?"

Saying that, the little fat man took the food box, waved at Xie Chen, and said, "Brother Chen, you don't know, in the past few days when you are away, Brother Qingyang has brought good food over every day." If I hadn't despised my brother, I would have died of boredom. ”

"Hehe, then you have to thank Brother Qingyang. Xie Chen smiled and turned his head to look at Xie Qingyang, "Brother Qingyang, when did you move to the inner courtyard?"

When Xie Qingyang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It's only been a few days since I came, not only me, but my eldest brother has also moved over, let's go in and talk." ”

Entering the room, the little fat man opened the food box and took out a fragrant chicken leg from it to feast. Xie Qingyang said slowly: "Clan brother, since you entered the Yunling Pagoda, our family has really had a lot of things in the past few days!"

"Oh, is something wrong?" Xie Chen asked.

"Sort of...... Xie Qingyang nodded, and said: "Just five days ago, the family suddenly received the news of the Luo family's iron-blooded camp, the West Demon in the Four Holy Lands, a master has recently stepped out of the forbidden land, and has ransacked the two major families in the two northern kingdoms, claiming to collect genius earth treasures and celebrate the birthday of the saint. Now our seven northern kingdoms are all panicked, and the major families are also like great enemies. ”

Saying that, Xie Qingyang pursed his lips and laughed at himself: "This time, among the younger generations of the family, the children with similar qualifications have all moved to the inner courtyard. Otherwise, I wouldn't be qualified to live in the inner courtyard. ”

"Hehe, Brother Qingyang is too humble, what are the four holy places you just mentioned?"

"Oh, so you don't know yet?" Xie Qingyang patted his forehead and explained: "No wonder you don't know, in fact, I also listened to the elders of the clan when I became an adult." After so many years, I am afraid that except for us big families with a long heritage, I am afraid that people have long forgotten what the Four Holy Lands are. ”

Saying that, Xie Qingyang sorted out his thoughts for a moment and continued: "The so-called four holy lands refer to the Southern Spirit, the Western Demon, the Eastern Saint, and the Northern Xuan. The South Spirit is the Southern Spirit Mountain, the West Demon is the Western Demon Domain, the East Sage is the Eastern Holy Sect, and the North Xuan is the Northern Xuan Valley. These four places, located in the four directions of the mainland, are forbidden places on the mainland. ”

"According to legend, a thousand years ago. There are not so many countries on the Douling Continent, and the entire continent is under the rule of a huge empire. That empire, with its masters, was extremely prosperous. But for some reason, he became entangled with the people in the Heavenly Palace. As a result, the Outer Heaven Palace was furious, and it sent a master from outside the Heaven to completely destroy this empire. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Qingyang couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, that empire is indeed strong, in a battle with the Heavenly Palace, only the heaven and earth were discolored, the moon was dull, and even the sky was raining red! Until the end, it was still the monarch of the empire who couldn't bear to see the Douling Continent become a dead land with no grass, so he stopped fighting and fled alone. And these four holy places are the families of the four important ministers in the empire. Because of the defeat at that time, he reached an agreement with the Outer Heaven Palace, and sealed himself in the four poles of the Douling Continent, and never stepped out of the forbidden land for half a step......"

Xie Qingyang's eloquence is indeed good, Xie Chen listened to it as if he was fascinated, as if he was in the scene, and he was fascinated. The name of the Heavenly Palace, Xie Chen had heard of it a long time ago. It is said that in the Heavenly Palace, there are strong people like forests, and they are all god-like existences that far surpass the Spirit Sect. On the Douling Continent, the Outer Heavenly Palace has long become a god worshiped by all the people.

"It's so wonderful, it's like you've seen it, and you haven't heard anyone else's say it. The little fat man said disapprovingly while nibbling on the chicken legs.

"Shut up, concentrate on eating your chicken legs!" Xie Chen and Xie Qingyang glared at the little fat man at the same time, so frightened that the little fat man almost choked to death on a piece of chicken.

"So, is it the people of the Western Demon Domain who violated their original promise?" Xie Chen asked.

Xie Qingyang nodded, "You can also say that." In fact, since the Heavenly Palace disappeared five hundred years ago, the Four Holy Lands have always been ready to move, and there has been constant friction with the Central Plains countries. In recent years, it has been even more unscrupulous. It's just that with the original contract fetters, they won't openly invade the Central Plains. ”

"And this holy woman ......"

Xie Qingyang chuckled, "What holy woman?!, I guess, it's just an excuse that these old demons are just looking for. These families they ransacked were all families that had received the favor of the Outer Heaven Palace, and it was obvious that this was revenge for the defeat of the year! And our Xie family's Yunling Pagoda was the secret treasure given to the family by the Outer Heaven Palace back then. That's why the family is so nervous this time. ”

Xie Chen's eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked quietly: "The Western Demon Domain is so strong?" I remember you said that our family has several ancestors guarding ......."

"It's not just strong!" Xie Qingyang's voice raised slightly, and then he hurriedly looked around, and said in a low voice: "Brother clan, don't you know, it is rumored that each of these four holy places has a secret method, which is said to be able to change the innate qualifications of young people, so that they can directly become geniuses full of innate spiritual power! You calculate, the four holy lands have been inherited for thousands of years, and now, which strong person will be less? !

"Secret method?change qualifications?!" Xie Chen's heart moved, but a trace of melancholy appeared on his face.

Xie Qingyang thought that Xie Chen was worried about the family, so he couldn't help but smile and explained: "Actually, the clan brother doesn't have to worry, the Tianluo Kingdom is the overlord of the Seven Northern Kingdoms, and our Xie family is also a big family that has been inherited for more than 700 years, and the four major families are in the same spirit. Presumably, these old demons didn't dare to come and provoke them. ”

Xie Chen sighed and nodded, as if he was slightly comforted. What I hope is that those old devils will provoke me! Otherwise, wouldn't I have missed this good opportunity to fish in troubled waters?!

Xie Qingyang sat for a while and chatted with others before leaving. And Xie Tuo was also driven back to his room by Xie Chen early.

It was only at this time that Jian Jiu, who had been silent, said Shi Shiran: "Boy, are you thinking about fishing in troubled waters?"

Xie Chen Yile, "Rub, is it possible that your skills have increased again recently?"

Jian Jiu didn't mean to joke at all, and Zhengse said: "Do you think anyone can touch this fish? I heard what I said just now, and it is definitely not an ordinary force to be able to start a war with that Outer Heaven Heavenly Palace! You want to fish in troubled waters in front of these people, be careful to take your little life! I think, you better follow my plan, take your time!"

"Take your time?" Xie Chen's eyes widened, "I can be slow, but if those old demons really come and directly snatch the spirit beads, what should I do?"

"Besides, isn't there still you!" Xie Chen said with a smile: "The so-called wealth and danger are begging! You and I, the two of us, the two swords are combined, I don't believe that I can't take food in the tiger's mouth!"

"Don't talk nonsense! I don't know what you're thinking? You actually want to leave a way back for your cousin who is out of tune, right?!" Jian Jiu rolled his eyes and said sharply.

Speaking of Xie Tuo, Xie Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, Xie Tuo has been with me since he was a child, and I am no different from him and my own brother." If I had taken the Spirit Orb, I would not have been able to stay in the clan any longer. Xie Tuo rarely has a stable place, with his qualifications, even without me, the clan will never treat him badly. It's much better than going to the ends of the world with me. ”
