The prosperity of the Huo family also brought superior cultivation conditions to Pang Feng and them. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) In less than two years, three of Huo Xuan's five senior brothers have successfully broken through and advanced to the Bone Quenching Realm. These three people are the senior brother Pang Feng, the second senior brother Lu Liang, and the sixth senior brother Peng Qing.
The senior brother and the second senior brother were able to successfully break through, Huo Xuan was not surprised. By the time he left home, the two senior brothers' cultivation had already reached the late innate stage, and with the assistance of huge cultivation resources, it was also common sense that they had made this breakthrough in two years.
However, the sixth senior brother Peng Qing has made great progress, and in just two years, he has broken through the advanced bone quenching realm from the early stage of the congenital realm, which shows that he has worked hard a lot.
This point is not difficult for Huo Xuan to understand, the death of the fifth senior brother Peng Yang is obviously the main driving force for the successful transformation of the sixth senior brother Peng Qing. They are not only senior brothers, but also brothers, and watching their eldest brother die at the hands of the enemy is definitely a heavy blow to the sixth senior brother Peng Qing.
Thinking of this, Huo Xuan saw that Peng Qing, the fifth senior brother who was originally cheerful and free, has now become extremely mature and steady, and his heart is full of feelings.
"Little junior brother, I have something to tell you, it's about Yulan's little girl......"
chatting happily, Pang Feng seemed to think of something, his face hesitated slightly, and then he spoke. Before he finished speaking, Huo Xuan smiled and said, "Yulan married Ye Hu, I already know about this!"
"That'...... What do you think?" Pang Feng thought for a moment and asked again.
"What can I think!" Huo Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Of course, I am going to prepare a congratulatory gift and go to congratulate Yulan." ”
As soon as he said this, all the brothers and sisters-in-law looked at each other and stopped talking.
"Little junior brother, you redeemed yourself from Baihualou, you are so generous and give it to Ye Hu?"
Huo Xuan smiled faintly when he heard this, and explained: "I redeemed my body for Yulan, not because I had any thoughts about her, but just to do her a favor and pull her out of the fire pit to restore her freedom." Now, she has a good home, and I bless her in my heart, and I have no other thoughts. ”
"Well, that's fine. Pang Feng nodded, "The Ye family has a lot of cooperation with my Huo family now, if it is for Yulan to damage the relationship between the two families, it is not worth it!"
"It's normal for Yulan's little girl to want to marry, but ...... There is a little bit that makes my sister-in-law feel uncomfortable, when this little girl came to our house, she swore to the sky, saying that even if she was a slave or a maid, she would repay Senior Brother Huo's great kindness. Who would have thought that not long after Senior Brother Huo left Lijiang City, she would get along with Ye Hu, this character ...... It's very problematic!" Zhou Yun, the master's sister-in-law, couldn't help but interject and hug Huo Xuan's grievances. Several other sisters-in-law were also angry.
"Yulan is a free body, she can marry whoever she wants, we can't control a lot!" Huo Xuan looked at several sisters-in-law with a smile and said, "The kindness of all sisters-in-law, Huo Xuan understands it." ”
Saying this, he didn't want to dwell on this matter, so he quickly changed the topic and asked Pang Feng, "Where is Uncle Li? And Huo Ting, where did he go?"
"Lijiang City has returned to my Huo family, Uncle Li naturally serves as the commander of the city guards, and his affairs are very busy, so he left the house early in the morning to go to the barracks for training, and I have sent someone to invite him back to the house. Pang Feng said with a smile: "As for Huo Ting, since you left, he went to Tangshan to cultivate every day before dawn, rain or shine, and worked very hard!"
Huo Xuan had a faint smile on his face after hearing this. Li Hao didn't mention it for the time being, his half-brother Huo Ting is also a spirit body, and he is still a rare Zhimu spirit body. Earlier, Huo Xuan got rid of Adu and taught his brother a Xuanshi cultivation method, after nearly two years, with this kid's talent, it is very likely that he has opened up the Purple Mansion and become a first-class Purple Mansion Xuanshi.
"Come back this time, if I can solve the matter of the wood demon as soon as possible, I can stay for a few more days, and by the way, I will guide Huo Ting to practice......"
Huo Xuan made a decision in his heart. As he grew older, the more he cherished his family affection, and he no longer had a grudge against his half-brother, only a strong sense of care.
"Big young master!"
It didn't take long for Li Hao to return to Huo Mansion in military uniform. When he saw Huo Xuan, he immediately stepped forward to greet him with a happy face. This was the only Bone Quenching Realm martial artist in the Huo family other than Huo Boshan. He was loyal to Huo Baishan, and even when the Huo family was in the most difficult time, he never left half a step.
"Uncle Li!"
Huo Xuan hurriedly stood up to greet him. For this loyal servant of the Huo family, he was full of respect in his heart.
Li Hao stepped forward and hugged Huo Xuan's shoulders and laughed: "The eldest young master showed his skills at the Xuanwu Conference, and it shocked all directions, and it has already spread throughout Yunzhou. Now when it comes to the name of Huo Xuan in the Lijiang River, the ten counties of Yunzhou, who doesn't know, who doesn't know? But it has greatly increased the reputation of my Huo family!"
Huo Xuan replied with a smile: "Uncle Li praised it!" Then, he pulled Li Hao to sit down, and everyone chatted happily together.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was noon. As the hostess of the Huo family, Xu Shiyan got up and went to arrange a banquet to entertain the guests who came from afar, as well as Huo Xuan, the eldest young master of the Huo family.
But at this moment, Huo Xuan also stood up and told several senior brothers to entertain guests, but he himself walked closely behind Xu Shiyan.
Coming to the outer corridor, Xu Shiyan, who was walking in front, seemed to notice that Huo Xuan was following behind, his steps paused, he didn't look back, turned his face slightly, and said softly: "Xuan'er, you come with me to guard the hall." With that, she walked lightly and continued to walk forward.
Huo Xuan didn't say a word and walked after her. After turning a few corridors, they went one after the other, and soon came to the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestral seat of the Huo family's ancestors.
Pushing open the door, Xu Shiyan walked in. Huo Xuanmo was silent and followed behind.
In the Shouque Hall, the candle flame is always bright, and on the niche in front, the black spiritual position erected, as in the past, is spotless. Huo Xuan's expression was solemn, he paced forward, lit three incense sticks and presented them to the niche, knelt on the futon, and respectfully worshipped. Xu Shiyan stood silently next to her and said nothing.
"Reckless in the northwest, there are traces to follow; ”
After worshipping the ancestor, Huo Xuan slowly got up, looked at his second mother, and looked calm, "I have fulfilled 'his' requirements, and now, you should also sue me...... My mother's whereabouts. ”
"Xuan'er, although I am an ordinary person, I also know that if you can become a Gang Realm martial artist before the age of twenty, you must have worked too hard to achieve this. Xu Shiyan was no longer silent at the moment, and said slowly: "If your father knows, he will definitely be proud of you." ”
Huo Xuan was silent when he heard this. That's not what he wants to know right now.
Xu Shiyan looked at him, sighed lightly, and said, "I don't know about the whereabouts of my wife, and your father doesn't know either......"
Huo Xuan's face immediately changed, "You are playing tricks on me!" A wave of anger exploded from the bottom of his heart like lava underground. After waiting for so many years, but in exchange for such an answer, he felt that he had been fooled, his eyes were spitting fire, and he stared at Xu Shiyan with anger.
"Xuan'er, listen to what I have to say. Xu Shiyan said softly, and immediately, she swept the silk in front of her forehead, as if adjusting her thoughts, and only after half a sound, did she continue: "I have been lonely since I was a child, and I have been pitied by the old lady and accepted by my side as a maidservant, and since then I have lived a life of worry-free food and clothing...... I will never forget the great kindness of the old lady and will never forget it. ”
Her words are sincere, and the words are from the inner sense, which is deeply moving. Huo Xuan heard it in his ears, but it was not a taste in every way. He couldn't help but ridicule: "You know that my mother treats you well, and you still do the despicable act of selling the favor of the master, hum!"
"Xuan'er, don't you believe it, Erniang married your father, that's what Mrs. meant!" Xu Shiyan looked at Huo Xuan and said slowly.
"Nonsense!"
Huo Xuan shouted violently, his face full of anger. How could he believe such nonsense.
"Whether you believe it or not, I'm telling the truth. Xu Shiyan looked at him, her eyes were full of determination, and she didn't have the slightest hint of weakness, "Xuan'er, do you know who Madame is?"
Although he was full of anger, when he heard this, Huo Xuan still shook his head blankly. The foundation of the Huo family is in the Li River, as for his mother, he doesn't know where his ancestral home is, and he doesn't even know the name of his mother, but he just asks 'that person' to call his mother's 'Mengjun'......
"Madame is not from the Lijiang River, but she once told me that her hometown is far, far away in the northwest...... I don't know where it is, and I don't know. Xu Shiyan was in a trance, as if she was recalling something far away, and after a long time, she turned her eyes to Huo Xuan and continued: "Madame is like a fairy in my heart, omnipotent...... She and the old man met by chance, it is said that the wife was seriously injured at that time, and it was the old man who saved the lady, and it didn't take long for them to love each other and tie the knot. ”
“...... Madame seems to have a group of powerful enemies, and because of this, when you were eleven years old, Madame noticed that the enemy was chasing to the vicinity of the Li River, and informed the lord of the matter, and the lord begged Madame to flee for her life quickly, but Madame was reluctant to let the old man and leave you. ”
Xu Shiyan gradually explained the changes that happened back then, "Madame loves the master very much, and she is even more reluctant to leave you, so she decided to stay in the Li River and fight her enemies to the death." As a result, after the master learned about it, he naturally refused to give his wife his life in vain, said a lot of ugly words, and even drew his sword to force his wife to leave...... The lord did this completely out of a sincere affection for his wife. In the end, Madame finally decided to leave, but she also made a request, let me marry the master, take care of the master instead of her, and Xuan'er you!"
"That'...... My mother has been away for so many years, why hasn't she returned to the Li River?" Huo Xuan asked with a trembling voice. With his sharp gaze, it can almost be judged that Erniang's words should not be false.
Xu Shiyan's expression was gloomy at the moment, and she slowly lowered her head, and after a long time, she sighed lightly and said: "A few days after Mrs. left, five hundred miles north of Lijiang City, there was a heavenly omen vision on the river surface of the lower reaches of the Li River......
When Huo Xuan heard this, he had a sense of foreboding in his heart, and blurted out: "Could it be ...... My mother has never left the Li River? This omenous vision is the result of her fierce battle with the enemy?"
Xu Shiyan was silent for a long time and nodded.
"What was the result?" Huo Xuan asked in a trembling voice. From the scene described in Erniang's mouth, it is absolutely only the Danyuan powerhouse fighting to the death that can cause such a celestial vision. Could it be ...... His mother is also a Danyuan powerhouse? This made him unbelievable, and at the same time, his mind was full of anxiety and anxiety.
After this incident, the lord was silent until many years later, that is, before he left Lijiang City, he whispered to me that after that heavenly omen, the lady used a great magical means to send a message to the lord, saying that he had met an enemy, and under the fierce battle, both sides were defeated...... She also said that her injuries were very serious and she had to return to her homeland for treatment, and it was very likely that she would not be able to return to the Li River for decades.
When Xu Shiyan said this, Huo Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. According to this, although the mother encountered a strong enemy, she was not threatened with her life, which is a blessing in misfortune.
The cause and effect are clear, and it is obvious that Huo Xuan misunderstood his father Huo Baishan and the second mother in front of him. He himself saw the truth clearly, and was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and asked: "Where has my father gone?" Didn't he leave a book saying that he knew my mother's whereabouts?"
Xu Shiyan took out a sachet, handed it to Huo Xuan, and said, "Before your father left Lijiang City, he left three tips, this is the last one, the answer you want to know may be inside!"
After Huo Xuan took it, he immediately opened the bag, and in addition to a piece of paper, there was also a jade slip in his eyes. Picked up the paper note, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and a line of big characters was written, "Ten years later, in the land of ancestral spirits, the family will be reunited and share the family." ”
"The Land of Ancestral Spirits?" Huo Xuan muttered. Judging from the meaning of this sentence, Dad said that after three years, let yourself go to the land of ancestral spirits, and then you can reunite as a family.
He didn't have time to think about it, he immediately let out a wisp of divine thought, and looked at the jade slip in his hand, if the guess was right, the location of the ancestral spirit land should be recorded in this jade slip.
The truth was indeed as he had guessed, as soon as the divine thoughts had infiltrated the jade slip, a topographical map immediately appeared in his mind.
"It's ...... The Savage Lands of the Northwest!"
Huo Xuan saw the map clearly, his pupils shrank, and he blurted out exclaimed. There is a series of mountains on this map, layered on top of each other, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles. Huo Xuan recognized at a glance that this mountain range was the 100,000 Great Mountain that he had just entered the training competition not long ago. In the northwest of this mountain, there is a vast grassland, through the grassland, is a number of lofty mountains, in one of the mountains that resemble a coiled dragon, marked with the four big characters of 'ancestral spirit land'.
The middle land of Kyushu is bounded by 100,000 mountains in the northwest wilderness, and the land of the ancestral spirit crosses the 100,000 mountains and goes deep into the northwest, which is obviously located in the wilderness.
The border is wild, the mountains and rivers are vicious, and countless monsters are bred, Huo Xuan can't imagine that with his father's cultivation that has not yet broken through the Refining Gang Realm, how can he reach the 'Land of Ancestral Spirits'?
No, I've got to do my best!
He took a deep breath and made a secret decision in his heart.
Xu Shiyan seemed to see through his mind and said, "Xuan'er, before leaving, the master specially told him that the land of ancestral spirits should be opened once in ten years. If you go early, you won't be able to enter the portal, even if you have the means to reach the sky. ”
Huo Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and then he was stunned. No wonder my father kept books for ten years, and here's why. He was silent for a long time, and until now, he can only do what his father tells him.
Originally, I thought that I had advanced to the Gang Refining Realm and fulfilled my father's wish, and I would definitely have something to gain when I returned home on this trip. Who would have expected that in the end, it would take ten years to wait, which made Huo Xuan's heart empty and full of loss.
But fortunately, in the ten-year period, in the land of ancestral spirits, the family is reunited and shares the family. With this book left by his father, he finally has a hope. Ten years is not a short time for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it is a white horse, fleeting.
Thinking of this, the loss in Huo Xuan's heart gradually dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Erniang!" he came to Xu Shiyan and bowed deeply, "For so many years, I have been ignorant and have always misunderstood you, and I ask for your understanding." ”
This is the first time Huo Xuan has called Xu Shiyan 'Erniang', and after a long conversation in Shouque Hall, his heart has disappeared, and he is only full of apologies for the woman in front of him.
"Xuan'er, we are all family!" Xu Shiyan heard Huo Xuan's 'Erniang', tears rolled in her eyes with excitement, and she hurriedly helped Huo Xuan up and said softly.
Huo Xuan looked at her, the two looked at each other, and they smiled at each other.
"Brother!"
At this moment, the heavy door was pushed open, and Huo Ting walked in quickly. When he entered the door, he saw his mother and eldest brother holding each other's arms, and the atmosphere was joyful, and he couldn't help but look stunned. In my memory, the eldest brother hated his mother the most, and he was not good to himself, and only improved when he returned home last time.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the two of them were all smiling, and it seemed that there was no estrangement.
"What are you ......?" he asked.
"Good boy, I haven't seen you for two years, and I've grown a lot taller!" Huo Xuan stepped forward, reached out and rubbed Huo Ting's little head, and said with a smile. The two brothers are more than ten years apart, Huo Xuan is nineteen years old this year, and Huo Ting is only eight and a half years old.
"Brother!" Huo Ting stepped forward and hugged his eldest brother. He has grown a lot taller in the past two years, and his little head has reached Huo Xuan's chest.
Huo Xuan glanced at his younger brother carefully, nodded, and said with a smile: "Not bad! It's very progressive...... With his cultivation as the realm, he could see at a glance that Huo Ting had successfully opened up the Purple Mansion after two years of cultivation and became a first-grade Purple Mansion Xuan Master.
The Wood Spirit Body is really extraordinary! Although the Huo family is not what it used to be, the cultivation resources required to cultivate the Xuan Master are very limited, and there is no spiritual vein in Lijiang City, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, it is not easy for Xiao Huo Ting to have this achievement!
"During the time that my brother left, you worked very hard!"
This sentence was sent to his young brother's ears by means of voice transmission. Huo Ting looked at him, then turned his head to look at his mother, tiptoed to Huo Xuan's ear, and whispered: "Brother, although I have made a breakthrough, I ...... I don't know how to use my mana yet!"
Huo Xuanwan smiled, touched her little head, and said, "Brother will teach you." (To be continued...)
