After putting down an oil-paper umbrella symbolizing his return at the door of the house that he was reluctant to step into, Qin Zhichuan's face was expressionless, and his temperament became that he did not eat the fireworks of the world.

He seemed to rush to a famous restaurant in the capital with a purpose, and said a secret word to the manager of the restaurant, and then the manager arranged a first-class room for Qin Zhichuan that was never open to outsiders without saying a word. Then the restaurant steward whispered a few words to a henchman next to him, handed over a token, and the little guy immediately left the restaurant and rushed to the palace.

Not far away is a Fengyue place, both of which are actually the properties of the fourth prince Zhou Yuancheng. On the surface, it is a normal business industry, but in fact, it is a place used by the four princes to inquire about news from all directions, and a certain fighting field in Beijing is also developed with the support of the four princes, looking for a loose cultivation that is strong but lacks spiritual money and cultivation resources, so as to envelop forces.

Qin Zhichuan sat cross-legged in the room, closed his eyes and rested, and about half an hour later, there was a knock on the door, and then a man pushed the door in.

As soon as the man entered the door, he opened his arms and laughed loudly: "I've been waiting for a long time, Brother Zhichuan, I've finally brought you back after so many years!" ”

Qin Zhichuan also got up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed." ”

The person who came was the fourth prince Zhou Yuancheng, and after receiving the notice from the little servant, he hurriedly disposed of the things that he couldn't shirk, and rushed from the palace non-stop.

The two reminisced, and the fourth prince Zhou Yuancheng said in surprise: "Brother Zhichuan has broken through Xuantai!" ”

Qin Zhichuan nodded and said calmly: "Well, it was successful three years ago. ”

Zhou Yuancheng praised again and again, and then suddenly smiled: "If Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites knew that Zhichuan could have such an achievement, would he regret it?" ”

Qin Zhichuan lowered his eyes, "It's not relevant for a long time, why bother with him." ”

Then he raised his head and looked at Zhou Yuancheng, "Let's get down to business, Brother Zhou will tell me about the recent events in the capital." ”

Zhou Yuancheng nodded and talked about the news he had found out during this time. In the middle, when talking about Chen Mo saving Zai Fu Kou Yuan, Qin Zhichuan's face changed, and he talked about what happened before, which surprised Zhou Yuancheng.

"Mrs. Chu is actually related to that Chen Mo, doesn't that mean ......" Zhou Yuancheng's face was a little ugly.

"What?" Qin Zhichuan was puzzled.

"That Chu Xuping, the youngest prince and prince, has an extremely high cultivation, I sent someone to check on him, he has no background, but the national teacher takes him very seriously. Now that Chen Mo has saved Zai Fu, he has a lot to do with Zai Fu's lineage, and according to what you said, Chu Xuping and Chen Mo seem to have some relationship, which is tantamount to indirectly building a bridge between the prince's line and Zai Fu's lineage. Zhou Yuancheng frowned, and his tone was full of worry.

After listening to Zhou Yuancheng's words, Qin Zhichuan suddenly reacted to why Chu Xuping had said before, "There are many opportunities to meet in the future", but how did he know that he was on the side of the four princes? His face was solemn, he couldn't see through Chu Xuping because of his cultivation factors before, but now he felt more and more that Chu Xuping was unfathomable.

But after pondering for a moment, Qin Zhichuan chuckled again: "Brother Zhou doesn't need to worry, what I have learned in Zhongyu Yangzhou for ten years is not comparable to this Eastern Ziling Continent, and it will definitely help Brother Zhou ascend to the position of crown prince." ”

When Zhou Yuancheng heard this, he smiled widely, raised his wine glass and toasted Qin Zhichuan.

While the two were chatting, a young man in purple broke into the room despite the dissuasion, and the young man came in and shouted: "Fourth brother, you have to make the decision for me!" ”

It was Zhou Yang, the sixth prince who came out of the Zaifu Mansion in shame.

Zhou Yuancheng frowned and reprimanded: "Sixth brother, why are you always reckless, come to see Mr. Qin." ”

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said to Qin Zhichuan: "Zhou Yang has seen Mr. Qin. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yuancheng's face softened and asked.

Zhou Yang looked resentful, "That Chen Mo appeared in Zaifu's mansion and disturbed my good relationship with Sister Qingqiu, and I lost my battle with him." ”

"I'm embarrassed to say it if I'm defeated! It's a shame for you to lose to the spiritual cultivation period with a Xuantai! Zhou Yuancheng reprimanded.

Zhou Yang looked embarrassed and said stupidly: "I didn't expect him to be so powerful in the late stage of soul cultivation." ”

Qin Zhichuan also commented: "That Chen Mo's spiritual cultivation period is indeed powerful. ”

The two chatted for a while, during which it was difficult for Zhou Yang to interject. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, "Childe, it's me." ”

"Come in." Zhou Yuancheng was stunned for a moment, and then said.

After the man came in, Zhou Yuancheng was shocked, "Are you being attacked?" "The man had a thrilling wound in his chest.

It was Li Shu, who was one of the subordinates of the fourth prince Zhou Yuancheng.

"I met a person who called himself Chen Mo in the Dharma Fighting Arena, but he didn't admit that he was the Chen Mo who saved Zaifu." Li Shu explained.

"It's Chen Mo again, tell me, what does Chen Mo look like?" Zhou Yuancheng was a little depressed.

Li Shu described, Qin Zhichuan frowned and said, "Yes, it's him." ”

"Do you want to be my enemy before we have met? That's a lot of pressure! Zhou Yuancheng muttered.

…………

Chu Xiqing got a dojo where he could practice the Dao at will, and his heart was happy, Edgeworth flew back to that courtyard, and after landing, he said hello to Gu Lian, and returned to the house to continue to practice the way of the sword.

is obviously a first-class official, but the place where he lives can be said to be extremely shabby compared to those third-grade and second-grade officials. Gu Lianzhen is like an ordinary woman, and she doesn't have the appearance of a first-class official's wife at all.

She looked at Chu Xiqing, who hurriedly returned to the house to cultivate, with a strange expression, she loved cultivation so much? Shaking his head again, what about cultivating to an extremely high realm? If you look back, there is no one behind you, your face is dust, and who can you talk to when you are alone?

Cherish the friends you met when you were young and the people around you, at least you won't have any regrets and regrets in the future.

The sky is getting dark, the moon is rising, and there is still a trace of the sunset in the west.

Chu Xuping came out of the palace and had already informed the national teacher of the news of Qin Zhichuan's return, but the national teacher Chen Shu did not say it, although he himself felt that it was nothing.

When he returned home, he happened to meet Chu Xiqing's eyes when he came out to stretch after his cultivation, he smiled, and felt his younger brother's aura rising again.

"Brother, you have some meaning of cultivating geniuses." Chu Xuping quipped.

Chu Xiqing was a little weak-hearted, touched his nose, and said with a smile: "Maybe." ”

One of the two brothers stood on the two steps and the other stood in the courtyard, just as they were in the Chu Mansion in Jingcheng.

Chu Xiqing suddenly asked: "Brother, there are qi practitioners in the world, why does Da Zhou still need the imperial examination to select some mortals?" ”

Chu Xuping was silent for a moment, and replied: "Whether it is the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Great Yu Dynasty of the year, they are all outliers, unlike the other four continents and the other half of the Eastern Ziling Continent, this is a country, not an ethnic group or a sect, what is needed is not only the means to govern people, but also the need to govern the country, ordinary qi practitioners can't do it, so they need scholars." However, many of those scholars were mortals, and the qi practitioners under their hands were very unconvinced......"

He paused slightly, looking at Chu Xiqing squarely, "Therefore, one of the reasons why Your Majesty and the National Teacher are doing now is to fundamentally solve this situation. Let everyone in the world have a way to cultivate. ”

Chu Xiqing's heart shook, and he couldn't help muttering, "The world ...... All have fairy fate? ”

Chu Xuping smiled and nodded, "Yes, this statement is very good, everyone in the world has an immortal fate." ”

It turned out that someone had already opened the way ahead, Chu Xiqing smiled, and suddenly felt that the goal of taking the world as the territory was not so impossible.

…………

The next day, Chu Xuping went to the palace early, and Chu Xiqing also left the small courtyard soon after, came to the alley, pinched the mantra, recited two mantras, and the door to the lost land was opened.

As soon as he stepped in, Chu Xiqing hurriedly hid to the side, and a little female ghost floated in front of him and almost bumped into him.

The little female ghost was holding something, and stopped to look back at him, as if she was a little happy. Chu Xiqing remembered yesterday's scene, hurriedly said goodbye, and rushed towards his dojo.

At the foot of the mountain, Chu Xiqing cleaned up a clean open space and moved a large stone with a flat surface as a futon.

With such a strong yin qi, Chu Xiqing's first thought was that yin and yang intersected to refine his body, and pure yin qi had the best effect. However, there is not enough yang energy, so the refined yin energy should be in moderation, otherwise it is easy to lose the balance of yin and yang, causing damage.

After about half an hour of running the Yin and Yang Tempering Body, he sensed that the Yin Qi was about to transcend the boundary, so he stopped cultivating. He exhaled a breath, his flesh was crystal full, and he became stronger and stronger, and in terms of pure physical strength, he definitely surpassed the ordinary Xuantai stage cultivators.

There is a piece of boxing "robbery boxing" left by Chen Xueyue that can be said to be a technique, which is completely opposite to the "Cloud Fist" that he once learned.

He has a foundation in boxing, although it is a soft boxing, but rigidity and softness are born together, and he can also find such a strong boxing method.

"Robbery fist" needs to be supported by aura, more like a kind of magic, when the fist is whirring, there is a hidden robbery light.

This kind of light robbery is very harmful to the land where the yin qi is extremely heavy, but fortunately, there is a mark of Bai Lu to resist the light robbery breath. He fell into a state of nothingness, his eyes were closed, and he just punched, and the sound of his fist grew louder and more terrifying.

When he was practicing the robbery fist, a somewhat ignorant ghost thing approached the imprint, the ghost thing wandered, unconsciously approaching Chu Xiqing, and when the robbery light was about to touch this ghost thing, Chu Xiqing stopped, and he opened his eyes to look at the ghost thing that looked like a farmer.

He took two steps back and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The ghost's eyes gradually cleared, staring at Chu Xiqing, and suddenly bowed down, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, can you help me fulfill an unfulfilled wish?" ”

Chu Xiqing was stunned for a moment, "What wish?" ”

The ghost raised his head and burst into tears, "I have a son and a daughter, I separated from them a long time ago, and I still don't know whether they live or die, can you help me find them?" The eldest son's name is Meng Zhen, and the youngest daughter's name is Meng Rou, they are probably so tall, fifteen or sixteen years old, they look like they are ...... "The ghost thing said a lot, and the speed of speech was very fast, and in the end it was even better than painting.

Chu Xiqing didn't listen to anything else, only heard the names "Meng Zhen and Meng Rou", and he interrupted: "I've seen them, and they're still alive, although they're not doing well." ”

The ghost creature was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "It's good to be alive...... and then the ghost creature bowed down again, "I beg your Excellency to take care of it if you have the opportunity in the future." ”

"Naturally, I'm friends with them."

The ghost creature smiled with relief and stood up and bowed, "Thank you very much." Then he turned and walked away, but after a few steps, he dissipated as if it had never existed.

Chu Xiqing blinked, trying to reach out and touch, but a voice suddenly came from behind him: "His obsession has dissipated and disappeared." ”

Chu Xiqing turned his head and found a beautiful woman standing behind him, expressionless at the moment, but there seemed to be some sadness in her eyes.

It's nothing if it's just a woman, but this is the Lost Ghost Realm, how can there be a living person?

He was suddenly a little wary, and the woman noticed this and waved her hand, "My name is Bai Duyi, and my teacher's name is Bai Lu." ”

Chu Xiqing felt a little strange and asked, "You...... It's a living person, and your master is a white senior? ”

Bai Du nodded, "When my master found me, I was in the middle of being lost. ”

"I'm a little surprised that you would actually help a ghost." Bai Duyi said suddenly.

"It has nothing to do with people and ghosts, if there is no malice, it doesn't matter if you help someone, not to mention that this favor is still easy to do." Chu Xiqing said honestly.

"It seems to me that the living people outside are much more dangerous than the lost ghosts, and in comparison, it seems that the outside are evil spirits, but they are very disgusted with ghosts, and they have no self-knowledge." Bai Duyi's voice was a little cold.

"You're talking about wicked people, but you haven't seen good people."

"Oh? What does a good guy look like? ”

"Like, uh, me?" Chu Xiqing suddenly smiled.

"You're so thick-skinned. Is it called cheeky? Bai Duyi also smiled.

"My name is Chen Mo."

…………

Before I knew it, a month later, an examination was held in the capital to select qi practitioners, similar to the imperial examination, and qi practitioners were selected to enter the palace or other places and become "officials" among qi practitioners.

Chu Xiqing traveled back and forth between the small courtyard and the lost land within a month, his cultivation rose sharply, his kendo comprehension deepened, and he refined four pillars of light in the sea of knowledge, and only the last four were left. The lost Bai Duyi was actually in the late stage of Xuantai, which surprised him very much, and secretly accelerated his cultivation speed.
