Chapter 22 The Ancestor of the Tang Family

Early in the morning, in the precincts.

Tang Xiao sat on the stone bench in the small courtyard, and Tang You'er squatted quietly on the side, watching curiously with wide eyes.

The hands are raised horizontally, the palms are obliquely upward, in a closed shape, and the blue-purple desolate power gathers on the hands, emitting a trace of blue electric light from time to time.

A silver bright iron the size of a human head was suspended above Tang Xiao's hands.

After a while, Tang Xiao's hands suddenly exerted force, and two desolate forces came out of his palms, mixed with the irritable thunder element, in the form of a spiral, like two giant hammers, smashing towards the fine iron.

"Shock!"

With a muffled sound, the fine iron that had been hit by a strong blow shook violently, but it was not damaged at all, and the strength was just right, not a single point, not a little less.

With the violent shaking, the fine iron itself gradually became a little loose, and at this moment, Tang Xiao saw the opportunity, and the desolate power of his hands was released again.

"Seep!"

With a soft snort, the two condensed barren forces suddenly dispersed, turning into thousands of thin threads of hair thickness, carefully infiltrating into the fine iron.

"Off!"

Stirring the desolate force violently, the hair-like thin threads suddenly cut quickly, like thousands of sharp blades, peeling away the impurities, and then the desolate force rushed, and a bundle of black debris dispersed from the fine iron.

The last two steps are to leave the word formula, and the word trick is done in one go, without the slightest error.

Seeing the fine iron that was obviously smaller again, Tang Xiao smiled with satisfaction.

Rough weighing, although the mountain-like fine iron has been condensed to the size of a human head by Tang Xiao, but due to the removal of eight or nine out of ten impurities, the fine iron has become extremely solid, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been tempered tens of thousands of times, so it has become very heavy. Even the fivefold realm of Tang Xiao's desolate veins is very laborious to hold up.

Seeing that Tang Xiao had finished cultivating, Tang You'er on the side hurriedly climbed onto Tang Xiao, obediently wiped the beads of sweat on Tang Xiao's forehead with a small handkerchief, and then leaned on Tang Xiao's arms like gummy candy and refused to leave.

"Well, it's not bad, you can practice the Four Tricks Mudra in just two days to such an achievement, although it's not even Xiaocheng, but you can barely become a first-level condensation master......

Eight taels slowly floated out of Tang Xiao's body, sat directly on top of Tang Xiao's head, and said while biting his fingers and kicking his chubby calves.

Tang Xiao shook his head, shook the eight taels down, and said, "So, I will be able to cultivate the Great Holy Body on my own right away?"

"Yes, and you can try to condense herbs and weapons, after all, you are also a first-level condensation master. ”

Tang Xiao looked at the fine iron in his hand expectantly, if he could really cultivate the Great Holy Body on his own and achieve a triple strengthening, I am afraid it would not be difficult to defeat Tang Zhantian.

Just when Tang Xiao was just about to continue cultivating, Baliang suddenly said, "Someone is coming, I'll withdraw first." ”

Then he disappeared without a trace, and when Tang Xiao heard this, he hurriedly put the fine iron into the space ring.

As soon as I finished this qiē, the door of the small courtyard opened with a "creak".

Tang Qingtian is here.

Tang Xiao hurriedly put Tang You'er aside and stood up: "Dad, you're here." ”

In the past few days since Tang Qingtian resumed his position as the head of the family, he has been busy rectifying the family affairs, although he is anxious, he looks much younger than before, and he looks a little majestic.

"Xiao'er, how is your body recovering?" Tang Qingtian asked Tang Xiao with concern.

"It's fine. ”

After chatting with Tang Xiao for a while, Tang Qingtian said: "Xiao'er, in fact, I came here recently to inform you of something, because you won the family competition and became the first genius of the Tang family, so the ancestor of the Tang family, that is, your grandfather, wants to see you." ”

Tang Chutian, the ancestor of the Tang family, Tang Xiao's grandfather, has nine barren veins, he is the strongest pillar of the Tang family, and he is also the trump card of the Tang family against the Bai family.

However, he has not shown up for a long time, and he has been practicing in retreat every day, handing over the affairs of the family to the following, and even some time ago, the head of the Tang family has not shown up.

It's just that now I don't know why I want to summon Tang Xiao again.

However, Tang Xiao knew that it was impossible to be unfavorable to him at this time, so he settled Tang You'er, and then followed Tang Qingtian to the forbidden place in the mountain behind the Tang family, which was the place where Tang Chutian retreated and cultivated.

"Xiao'er, when you get here, you can go in by yourself, remember, you must respect the ancestor when you see it. Tang Qingtian instructed.

Nodding, Tang Xiao turned around and entered the cave.

After nearly 100 meters of twists and turns in the cave, Tang Xiao finally came to the end.

At the end of the cave is a hundred square meters of open space. There is no decoration, and there are a few simple calligraphy and paintings hanging straight up.

A square table, a teapot, a few teacups, that's it.

There was an old man sitting at the square table, tall and straight, full of energy, giving Tang Xiao a feeling like a mountain.

This is Tang Chutian.

"It's worthy of the nine layers of the wild vein, and even my father has never given me this feeling. Tang Xiao sighed secretly.

At this time, Tang Chutian also noticed Tang Xiao's arrival and waved his hand to Tang Xiao.

Seeing Tang Chutian summoned, Tang Xiao walked up to Tang Chutian step by step, bowed without humility or arrogance, and said, "Junior Tang Xiao to meet the ancestor!"

Tang Chutian looked directly at Tang Xiao, his eyes were like torches, and he was like a torch for a while: "You are Tang Xiao, the son of Qingtian?" Yes, yes." ”

"Thanks to family cultivation. Seeing Tang Chutian's praise, Tang Xiao could only say modestly.

"Hmph, family cultivation, when did the family cultivate you?" Tang Chutian said mercilessly.

"Uh......"

Tang Xiao was speechless, after all, except for his father who tried his best to help him, there was really no one who had cultivated him, and he was also strongly suppressed by Tang Qingyun and his lineage, and he almost died in the ring.

"Even if the position of the head of the Qingtian family was taken away by someone joining forces, I have never come forward, do you think this family is ruthless?"

Without the slightest hint of euphemism, Tang Chutian went straight to the point, such an unquestionable attitude couldn't help but give Tang Xiao a good impression.

After all, if it was because he knew that his father and son were related to the cultivator, so he stammered himself and let himself contribute more to the family, it would make Tang Xiao feel disgusted.

"There are some......" Tang Xiao replied respectfully and honestly.

Obviously very satisfied with Tang Xiao's honesty, Tang Chutian nodded approvingly.

"Alas...... The Tang family's hundred-year-old family business is supported by this ruthlessness......" Tang Chutian sighed helplessly.

"Survival of the fittest, success and defeat, the eternal truth is also the foundation of maintaining a family, only ambitious and capable people can lead the family not to be ruined. If it weren't for your sudden outburst, maybe Tang Qingyun would have become the official head of the family now, but this can keep the Tang family on an upward momentum, if you want to blame, you can only blame Qingtian for being too weak. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiao nodded.

Tang Xiao understood what Tang Chutian meant, after all, he needed to lead a huge family, if the leader was not strong enough, then the decline of the family was an inevitable end, and Tang Chutian's helplessness could also be understood.

As Tang Chutian said, if it weren't for his own outbreak, now their father and son would definitely be like wolves like water dogs, and they can't stand here and talk to the ancestors of the Tang family, this is the sorrow of the big family, and if you want to maintain this family, you must do this.

Although Tang Chutian was reasonable, Tang Xiao still couldn't agree, because in Tang Xiao's eyes, power was the past for him, and he worked so hard in the family competition to fight for his father, and it was really because he maintained this mentality that he was not knocked down by the ruthless family.

At this time, the old Tang Qingtian and the helpless Tang Demon appeared in front of him one by one, Tang Xiao suddenly strengthened his will, and shouted in his heart:

"My Tang Xiao's relatives, no matter how weak they are, I will protect them to the end!"

In an instant, a special aura seeped out from Tang Xiao's body, and there was a slight tremor in the air.

Feeling the change in Tang Xiao's temperament, Tang Chutian was amazed in his heart: "This little guy has so strong mental power...... Sure enough, a good talent!"

Looking at Tang Xiao, Tang Chutian was silent for a while, and said, "Don't ask for anything else, I just ask you not to forget that you are a member of the Tang family, can you do it?"

Tang Xiao did not answer directly, but simply said: "The Tang family has my dearest." ”

"Haha! What a Tang Xiao, he really has the style of a general!" Hearing Tang Xiao's answer, Tang Chutian laughed heartily.

Then he said to Tang Xiao: "A month later, it will be the triennial youth competition between the Tang family and the Bai family, so as to determine the minerals for the next three years, originally Tang Zhantian and the two brothers, but both of them have been disabled by you, are you willing to fight for the family?"

Oh...... It turned out that the pit was waiting for him here, Tang Xiao suddenly realized.

But even if he didn't agree, his father Tang Qingtian would break his legs, after all, now that his father was the head of the family, how could he not participate?

Thinking of this, Tang Xiao happily agreed, "For the interests of the family, Tang Xiao is duty-bound." But ......"

"Hmm, but what......" Tang Chutian asked when he heard Tang Xiao still have something to say.

"Hehe, after all, it's for the sake of the family to participate in the war, so you can give me some resources, you can't let me fight with the Bai family empty-handed, so we won't lose the face of our Tang family." ”

After discussing the matter, Tang Xiao once again regained his usual hippie smiling face, and Tang Xiao, who was used to squeezing eight taels, how could he let go of this great opportunity at this time?

"It's really a shrewd little guy, let's say, what do you want, the family's martial arts, **, you can choose the medicinal herbs at will. Tang Chutian didn't care at all and promised Tang Xiao.

"I want the body. Tang Xiao replied immediately.

In the battles of these days, Tang Xiao considered that he had the Wild Thunder Fist and the Great Holy Body Martial Arts in terms of attack and defense, but he had nothing in terms of body and technique, and he completely relied on his own sense of battle to fight hard with others. And if there is a body method, exploring the mansion of the peerless master in a few days, it will also increase the chance of saving your life with points.

"Uh......"

"Little guy, you have to know that the body method has always been the shortcomings of the Tang family, and the most advanced body method of the Tang family is only the yellow level and the high level, so the people of the Tang family have simply given up practicing the body method and used powerful martial arts to make up for the shortcomings in the body method. ”

Hearing that Tang Xiao wanted to do it, Tang Qingtian, who was still very heroic just now, suddenly stopped.

"If you want **, I can give you a powerful martial art at the intermediate level. ”

After speaking, Tang Chutian looked at Tang Xiao intently, waiting for Tang Xiao's choice.

Originally, I thought that Tang Xiao would gladly accept martial arts, but unexpectedly, Tang Xiao smiled confidently and said: "Ancestor, Tang Xiao believes that a short board is a short board, and it cannot be made up for by other means, it can only be covered up, and I am not short of attack martial arts, so even if there are a hundred powerful martial arts, they are not as useful as a yellow-level body technique." ”

After listening to Tang Xiao's words, Tang Chutian couldn't help but be stunned, and laughed again.

"Haha! What a short board is irreparable! I didn't expect that after many years of self-cultivation, it is not as good as a little doll to see it thoroughly, if the people of the Tang family know how to make trade-offs like you, why worry about my Tang family is not prosperous!"

Directly threw a booklet to Tang Xiao, and said: "This is what I got from traveling all over the world back then, not a family thing, the Xuan-level low-level body method "Thirty-six Consecutive Kills", this body method is extremely jerky and difficult to understand, even I can't take the complete thirty-six steps, you take it back and study it yourself." ”

Then he sat cross-legged and ignored Tang Xiao.

Seeing this, Tang Xiao didn't bother anymore, bowed deeply, walked out of the cave, and returned to the small courtyard.
