Chapter 66: The Ancestor of the Shen Family
On the second day of the holiday of Tianlong Academy, the Shen family's mansion in Chaoge City, including Shen Feiyun, Shen Binghong and Shen Jiayun, and other seven or eight students of Tianlong Academy came back together, which immediately caused a joyful busyness in the family.
As the extremely talented children of the Yan Branch, Shen Binghong and Shen Jiayun's sisters and brothers have always been valued by the family, especially Shen Binghong, who has been smart since she was a child, and is very liked by her grandfather Shen Beichen, counting it, Shen Beichen is Shen Binghong's great-grandfather.
In the study, Shen Binghong and Shen Jiayun were talking with the old lady Shen Beichen, and the old lady listened to them talk about all kinds of interesting things in the academy, and laughed from time to time, and the old man was very happy.
After a while, Shen Binghong said to Shen Jiayun: "Little brother, I want to talk to Grandpa Tai alone, you are not allowed to listen, go and play with your ninth brother." ”
Shen Jiayun pursed, but she had to get up and walk out, but before closing the door, she stuck out her tongue at Shen Binghong and made a grimace.
"You doll," Old Lady Shen laughed, "What's so mysterious?" Do you have someone you like to tell your grandfather? ”
"Grandpa!" Shen Binghong said angrily, "If you want to do this, I will ignore you!" But he blushed.
"Okay, yes, I was wrong!" The old man stroked his white beard and smiled, "Don't ignore me, or the old man will be sad!" He shrugged his shoulders and pretended to wipe his tears with his sleeves.
"Humph! The bearded elder is still crying when he grows, and I won't buy you candy to eat when he cries! Shen Binghong said with a smile, and while talking, she took out a wine gourd and a wine glass, poured a glass for the old lady and handed it over, "But the old man doesn't eat sugar, it's okay to drink some wine." ”
"What is this?" The old man took the wine glass and asked suspiciously.
Shen Binghong didn't speak, and made a drinking posture.
Shen Beichen took a sip gently, his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he took a small sip, shook his head slightly and tasted it, and finally drank the wine in the cup and smiled with satisfaction: "You female doll, where did you get this good wine?" ”
"Delicious, isn't it?" Shen Binghong grinned, "This is a senior brother in our academy who brewed it himself, called Mountain Peach Brew, I am reluctant to drink it, so I will use it to honor you." Like it or not? As he spoke, he poured another glass for the old man.
"Okay," Shen Beichen laughed, "The old man likes it, likes this wine, and prefers the filial piety of the little doll." What do you want? The old man is not stingy. ”
"Grandpa looked at what you said, as if I was looking for you to exchange wine for a treasure." Shen Binghong pouted.
"Oh!" Shen Beichen saw that Shen Binghong didn't seem to be pretending, and immediately smiled and said, "The old man said the wrong thing again, and he wronged the little doll, huh...... It's better to punish you with a glass of wine. As he spoke, he took the wine and drank it all.
"You're cunning!" Shen Binghong covered her mouth and smiled. Then he refilled the old lady with a glass, and said, "Grandpa, I want to ask you something, I remember you once said that there can't be a person in this world who has the attributes of true qi, right?" ”
"Yes," Shen Beichen said, "But that means now, there were still some in the past, our family had it before, Xuanguang Ancestor and Songzhu Master are both yin and yang, this is an undoubted fact." ”
"Well," Shen Binghong said, "I've also heard that the royal family used to have great monks with both wind and thunder, but why did they exist before, but now they don't?" Master, can you tell me about it? ”
"Well! I'd just want to know why! Shen Beichen smiled, "But I have studied this matter carefully. In the more than 10,000 years since written records, there have been three stages of such true qi monks, but each stage was short-lived. The most recent was about 1,600 years ago, when there were at least ten people in that generation in the last thirty or forty years. When I say that all true qi is complete, I don't mean that all nine true qi are complete, and that kind of person has never been there. ”
"Well, I know," Shen Binghong said, "True Qi refers to the Five Elements True Qi, Yin and Yang True Qi, or Wind and Thunder True Qi, right?" ”
"That's right," Shen Beichen nodded, "In that generation, there were Jiang Tianlong and Jiang Tiankui, who had both wind and thunder, and they were the ones who created today's Jiang Family Tianlong Dynasty, and there were our ancestors Shangsongzhu and Duan Family's Hongling Grandfather, as well as Xiang Quai, the ancestor of the Xiang family, and Zeng Bufan, the lone immortal, who had both yin and yang. Today's distribution of forces in the Tianlong Continent was mostly created by their generation of Tianjiao. It's just that after a thousand years, these figures have disappeared one after another. And since them, there is no one who can have all the attributes and true qi, whether it is yin and yang, wind and thunder, or the five elements, there is no one. ”
"Why didn't they have it after that generation?" Shen Binghong asked, "Grandpa, don't you know?" ”
"No one knows why," Shen Beichen shook his head and said, "It's as if no one knows why in those thirty or forty years, there was such a group of Tianjiao who were full of true qi." ”
"And what about these celestial pride?" Shen Binghong asked, "Have they all become immortals?" ”
"I don't know," Shen Beichen said, about six hundred years ago, they were all gone, no one knew what happened to them, and the same was true for our family Grandmaster Songzhu. By the way, why do you ask all this? ”
"I'm wondering......" Shen Binghong said hesitantly, "Will there be another person with true qi now?" ”
"Huh?" Shen Beichen put down his wine glass, looked at Shen Binghong intently and said, "What do you want to say?" He knew that Shen Binghong's intelligence was very rare and few people could catch up, and there must be a reason why she said this.
"That's the case, Grandpa," Shen Binghong sorted out his thoughts and said, "I found a person who is a third-level alchemist, which means that he has at least two attributes of fire and wood, right?" ”
"Not bad," Shen Beichen said, "What else?" ”
"He later passed the fourth-level formation mage exam," Shen Binghong said, "What does this mean?" ”
"It shows that he at least has the true qi of the earth attribute." Shen Beichen said.
"But he still likes the Instrument Dao, and often goes to audit the classes of the Instrument Dao Academy."
"Just like? Are there any Alchemists? ”
"That's not true, but you think, if he doesn't have the talent to cultivate the Dao, and he's not stupid, why do those useless exercises?"
"You're saying he still has metallic true qi?"
"I guess most so."
"That means that this person can be sure that he has the three attributes of fire, wood and earth, and it is very likely that he also has metallic true qi?"
"yes, I'm pretty much sure."
"What about the water attribute true qi? Where do you see that? ”
"He seems to be able to use water to set up a magic circle."
"Are you sure?" Shen Beichen sat up straight unconsciously.
"No," Shen Binghong frowned, "I've just started cultivating the Formation Dao, so I'm not sure." But I'm not completely guessing, I really think that his shielding array was arranged using the water of Dalu Lake. ”
"Well," Shen Beichen said after some thought, "I think the possibility is still too small, more than a thousand years, how can it be?" He shook his head.
"Actually, I don't think it's possible," Shen Binghong said, "But grandpa, I really feel this way." Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you. ”
"Hehe, wouldn't it be nice to talk to Grandpa Tai," Shen Beichen relaxed, "According to this, this person also has at least three Five Elements Attribute True Qi, most of them are four, this talent is already ridiculously high, if it is really all five elements...... By the way, who is this person you are talking about? ”
"Bluestone." Shen Binghong said softly.
"Bluestone? Is that the bluestone that saved Xiaoyu? ”
"Yes!" Shen Binghong said.
"Hmm......" Shen Beichen frowned and thought for a long time, "If there is anything special about him, you can tell me carefully." ”
"This wine is made of bluestone," Shen Binghong said with a smile, "He can also cook, I have never eaten such delicious food in the food he makes, and the wine he brews is Brother Feiyun and Brother Duan Qi also said that they have never drunk such a good wine!" Grandpa, do you think this wine is really that good? ”
"Really!" Shen Beichen smiled and said, "I don't like to drink very much, but I really think this wine is better than what I've drunk before." By the way, Feiyun gave me some wine last year, which is different from this wine, much stronger, I don't like it very much, but it is also very good. ”
"That's also made by Brother Qingshi!" Shen Binghong covered her mouth and smiled, "That one is called a line of fire, and this one is called mountain peach brew." ”
"Really?" Shen Beichen said strangely, "This kid is quite interesting, let's talk about anything interesting!" ”
"Well," Shen Binghong smiled and said, "There is another thing that is not small, I heard from the master that last year, the old dean Ou of the academy was poisoned, and the whole academy had no choice, seeing that the old dean Ou was about to die, and in the end, it was Brother Qingshi who rescued him." ”
More than a month ago, Shen Binghong worshipped Liu Changqing as a teacher.
"What?" Shen Beichen asked in surprise, "Ou Changzhi's poisoning was saved by Qingshi?" Didn't Jin Yiming save it? Shen Beichen naturally knew about such a big event, but he didn't know the real situation and details.
"Yes, what Master said," Shen Binghong said, "Elder Ou was cured by Qingshi, there is no doubt about it. But how exactly it was treated, I'm afraid that only Dean Mo and Dean Jin knew these details. ”
Shen Beichen finally smiled and became serious. Next, he asked Shen Binghong to tell everything he knew about Qingshi in detail in the past two years. Shen Beichen pondered for a long time after listening, and then said to Shen Binghong: "Feiyun is also back, go and call him, alone." ”
Soon, Shen Feiyun appeared in Shen Beichen's study.
Shen Beichen finished his salute and opened his mouth to say: "I have asked you to pay attention to the outstanding talents in the academy, tell me, what newcomers in your academy are worth paying attention to in the past two years?" ”
Shen Feiyun thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Teng Shouqian, Yuan Renfeng, Li Zhuchen, Wu Qinghan of the Martial Dao Academy, Tang Zui of the Formation Dao Academy, Qingshi and Minghui of the Dan Dao Academy, and of course, the nineteenth sister of the Duan family, Xiaoyu and our family Binghong. ”
"Hmm~" Shen Beichen said expressionlessly, "Let's talk about Qingshi, you can evaluate it." ”
Shen Feiyun said: "Talented, chivalrous and soft-hearted, light on profit and righteousness, will become a great weapon." ”
"Oh?" Shen Beichen said, "The evaluation is not low, it can make you value it so much, you can tell me in detail." ”
"Qingshi is currently a third-level alchemist and a fourth-level array mage, with the three attributes of earth, fire and wood, and he can be called talented." Shen Feiyun said, "He was able to save Xiaoyu at the cost of his life, a little girl who met in Pingshui, because he was chivalrous; Listening to Duan Laoqi say, Qingshi does not easily hurt people's lives, does not kill ordinary people when facing enemies, and even spirit beasts are not easily harmed, which shows his kind side, so I say that he is chivalrous and soft-hearted. He looked down on money and even cultivation resources, and in this regard, Duan Laoqi and Xiaoyu both tried their best to praise him for valuing profit and righteousness, which I have also seen with my own eyes. When I interacted with him, I felt that he was sincere and not humble or arrogant, arrogant but not domineering, and extremely intelligent and wise, so I decided that he would become a great weapon in the future. ”
"Well......" Shen Beichen nodded, "So it seems that this son is indeed extraordinary." By the way, I remember that last year Qingfeng asked you and the seven boys of the Duan family to invite him to be guests, I heard that he refused, and then Qingfeng said that he didn't know how to lift, what do you think? ”
"I don't agree with Uncle Qingfeng!" Shen Feiyun said loudly, "I don't think it's that Qingshi doesn't know how to lift, but that we look down on him and snub him." However, last year, we didn't know him as well as we do now, and our evaluation of him naturally wasn't as high as it is now. ”
Shen Beichen nodded, and asked again: "Do you think bluestone has the three attributes of earth, wood and fire?" ”
"Yes," Shen Feiyun said, "That's for sure, Qingshi is still likely to have metallic true qi." ”
"I know, I think there's a very high chance that he has a metallic true qi." Shen Beichen said, "What about the water attribute true qi?" Do you think he still has water attribute true qi? Or will he have all the five elements? ”
"Impossible!" Rao is Shen Feiyun, and he can't help but subconsciously deny it.
"Is there any basis for saying that it can't be?" Shen Beichen stared at Shen Feiyun quietly and asked, "Or maybe it's just your assumption." ”
"I'm sorry Ancestor, it's me who lost my words." Shen Feiyun hurriedly said, "I have no basis, I just subconsciously think that it is impossible for someone to have the true qi of the five elements." After a pause, he said, "But I haven't found any signs that he has a water attribute true qi. ”
"You didn't find it," Shen Beichen said lightly, "It doesn't mean that others haven't found out." That only shows that you don't have enough insight. Or maybe you didn't really take my words to heart. I've put your attention to the Academy's outstanding talents, but your attention may be superficial. Let me ask you, since Qingshi rejected the invitation of our Shen Duan family last year, how have you been dealing with each other over the past year? ”
"My grandson is wrong!" Shen Feiyun knelt down and said, "Uncle Qingfeng asked me to invite him last year, I knew that that kind of invitation was tantamount to an insult to Qingshi, so I didn't go, and since then I have also had an obstacle in my heart, so I haven't seen Qingshi again, but he took the initiative to send someone to send me spirit fruit and wine." As far as I know, Binghong and Jiayun have rarely interacted with Qingshi in the past year, but Duan Seventh Brother and Duan Nineteenth Sister have had a lot of contacts with him. It was we who took the initiative to alienate Bluestone. ”
"Humph!" Shen Beichen finally showed a hint of anger, "You know that Qingfeng has made a mistake in judgment but don't take the initiative to explain, does Qingfeng know Qingshi better than you?" In addition, since you are wrong, you should find a way to remedy it, you are good, but because of the situation, you took the initiative to distance yourself from it, but you didn't reciprocate it for others to give you Lingguo wine! You don't do as well as Duan Qi in this matter! ”
"Sun Er knows that he is wrong," Shen Feiyun said, "Please punish the ancestor!" ”
"You ......" Shen Beichen pointed at Shen Feiyun to teach a lesson, but unexpectedly, the door of the study was pushed open, and Shen Binghong threw herself into Shen Beichen's arms like a kitten and said coquettishly: "Oh, grandpa!" Why are you so fierce? Look at your blowing beard and staring, you're ugly, I'll take your breath away! As he spoke, he stroked the old man's long beard with both hands.
Shen Beichen couldn't cry or laugh, and said angrily: "Why did you come in?" Did you hide outside the door and eavesdrop, is there any family law? ”
"I'm listening outside the door, but how is it eavesdropping?" Shen Binghong blinked her eyes and said aggrievedly, "If your old man doesn't want me to hear it, can I hide it from you?" I also feel embarrassed that I haven't seen Brother Qingshi in the past year, so you can punish me together! As he spoke, he pursed his lips and made a gesture to kneel, his eyes were red and his eyes were tee-eyed.
Shen Beichen hurriedly smiled: "Okay, okay, no punishment, no punishment!" Rise up too! The last sentence was said to Shen Feiyun.
Watch Shen Feiyun stand up. Shen Beichen said: "If you are wrong, you have to change it, take this as compensation, I don't need to teach you how to do it!" As he spoke, he threw Shen Feiyun a one-foot-high jade bottle.
Shen Feiyun took it and looked at Shen Beichen suspiciously.
"This is a bottle of sea dragon essence blood, Binghong said that what Qingshi urgently needs most should be a treasure to improve true qi cultivation, this is just right." Shen Beichen said.
"Ahh Shen Feiyun opened his mouth wide.
"Ah what," Shen Beichen said lightly, "Is there a problem?" ”
"This ......," Shen Feiyun said, "isn't it too precious?" ”
"Tell me about it!" Shen Beichen turned to Shen Binghong Dao.
"It's precious, but it's worth it!" Shen Binghong said, "Brother Chong Qingshi, who is in his early twenties, is a third-level alchemist and a fourth-level array mage, even if he only has three attribute true qi, we will not lose this investment." ”
"Yes," Shen Feiyun also reacted and said, "I'm just afraid he won't be able to use it!" "But I didn't think much of what Shen Binghong said about 'investment'.
Shen Beichen frowned, looked at Shen Binghong and said, "It's still you." ”
"It doesn't matter if he can use it or not, he has to get our love anyway!" Shen Binghong said, "If you can use it, it will naturally be better, the sea dragon is a water attribute." ”
"Ahh I understand. Shen Feiyun said, "If he can use it, it means that he still has water attribute true qi, then it means that he is likely to really have the true qi of the five elements!" ”
Shen Beichen nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Shen Feiyun and said, "It's not too stupid." ”
Shen Feiyun smiled awkwardly: "Of course I can't compare to Sister Binghong, I don't think anyone can compare except Qingshi." ”
"Oh?" Shen Beichen said, "Qingshi, this kid's cleverness can really be compared to Binghong?" ”
"I think Brother Bluestone is smarter than me." Shen Binghong said seriously.
"I don't dare to talk nonsense, in addition to my own feelings, Duan Qi and Xiaoyu also said that Qingshi is no less smart than Binghong," Shen Feiyun said, "Duan Qi said, not long ago, the academy instructed Qingshi to lead an assigned task, Duan Qi is one of the members, that Qingshi has many tricks and tricks, and he plays with the enemy in the palm of his hand, and basically completes the task easily without fighting his wits and strength. ”
"Yes," Shen Binghong continued, "Brother Zheng Fangyi also said that last time he led the team to an assigned task, and Qingshi participated, but Qingshi, who had the lowest cultivation, was the actual commander, and he mainly relied on his strategy, and he completed the task smoothly without fighting his wits and strength." ”
"Hmm!" Shen Beichen nodded and said, "This has strengthened my confidence, as Binghong said, even if he only has three attribute true qi, it is worth this bottle of sea dragon essence blood." You know what to do in the future, right? ”
"Yes, I see!" Shen Feiyun replied.
"Grandpa," Shen Binghong asked, "If Qingshi is really full of the Five Elements True Qi, what should we do to him?" ”
"If that's the case," Shen Beichen said slowly, "then he is the chosen son, and we must firmly maintain a friendly relationship with him." Or ......" Shen Beichen thought as he touched his beard.
"Or what?" Shen Binghong's face changed and asked, "Grandpa, don't you mean to ...... him before he grows up?" Get rid of him, right? ”
"Hmmm! Well? Shen Beichen stared at Shen Binghong with wide eyes and said, "Hey! Binghong, where do you think you go? Like your dad said, sometimes you're too smart. If he really has the true qi of the five elements, not to mention that we have maintained a good relationship with him, even if it is an enemy, we have to be wronged and turn the enemy into a friend! A person with true attributes has a lot of luck, how can he go against it? To oppose it is to go against the will of God and against God! Not to mention getting rid of him, isn't that looking for his own death? Never! Don't forget! ”
"I didn't think so," Shen Binghong blushed and said, "I'm afraid that Grandpa will think so!" Who told you to talk and not make it clear! ”
"Hey!" Shen Beichen said seriously, "I meant to say it or ...... Or simply marry him, if he really has the true qi of the five elements, then marry you to him! ”
"Grandpa, ......" Shen Binghong blushed, paced, turned around and ran out.
"Hahaha......" Shen Beichen smiled proudly, "Little look, do you really think I can't see it with my old eyes?" My heart is full of joy hahahaha......"
Shen Feiyun was secretly frightened: Get rid of the bluestone? Ice Rainbow! You're a ......
