At this time, in the marshal's mansion in Qingshan Pass City, Marshal Hong was sitting alone on the wide wooden chair at the top of the living room, leaning on the back of the chair, looking up at the ceiling, a pair of ringed eyes kept turning, and one hand rubbing his chin was falling into contemplation.

The guard over there reported that Li Yan was called into the room by Ji Wenhe this morning, presumably he was officially apprenticed, and the next step should be to start cultivating. A voice came from a corner of the hall, which was one of the four pillars of the hall that were held by one person, and when you looked closely, there was an unusually stocky strong man standing there, his body somewhat overlapping with the shadow of the pillar, his stature was not tall, he was dressed in a soapy robe, and he was piled there like the thick pillar chassis.

"I was already surprised that he didn't let this kid immediately apprentice last night, and that he could still be so unhurried with what he now seemed to be getting worse and worse. Marshal Hong didn't look over there, still staring at the ceiling, but said so in his mouth.

"Then Senior Brother may see that he really can't suppress the poison in his body, or is he pretending to be so?" said the soap-robed man.

"Nine times out of ten, it's true, whether it's the usual news of the guards over there or judging from his constant search for apprentices in the past few years, it doesn't look like a fake, but even so, we don't have much chance of winning with strength, and his martial arts are the sum of the two of us, even if he is like this, he is still not his opponent. Marshal Hong continued.

"Senior brother, don't exaggerate this, although his martial arts have reached the transformation realm, firstly, the poison of his body needs to be suppressed by a lot of internal force, and secondly, my senior brother and sister have also stayed in the realm of the top masters for more than ten years, and they are only one step away from the transformation realm, and the strength of the two of us may not be able to capture him. The soap-robed man said angrily.

"Senior brother, that is the last choice, I now think about how to start with that kid, last time his disciple, since he entered the military master's mansion, he has never come out, it is difficult to have the opportunity to come into contact, only a little more than a month has died, now the senior brother is thinking, is he really not cultivating properly? Or is his practice really as he said, people who are not with special physiques cannot cultivate, if it is the latter, we are so laborious, in the end, it will not be in vain. Marshal Hong was still looking at the ceiling, frowning.

"Senior brother, there is no practice in the rivers and lakes that cannot be cultivated, even if it is poisonous and evil skills, those who have them can also be cultivated, only suitable and unsuitable, not whether they can be cultivated, I have never heard of what requirements internal strength has for the human physique, just take those of this sect from low to high and deep heart methods, if you give it to the disciples under the sect, which one cannot be cultivated? The soap-robed man also frowned and said.

"What you said is also the reason why I don't want to give up, even if it is the martial arts of the evil sect of the rivers and lakes, if we want to cultivate, there is nothing impossible, it is just a question of whether it is worth it or not, his excuse should be the reason why he is unwilling to spread it, but what is so special about this Li Yan and the disciple last time? I measured this kid's meridians with internal force in the school military field yesterday, it is very ordinary, and it is not even as good as many sons in the army, but he has been selected among hundreds of thousands of people for several years, this is what I can't understand. The hall fell silent again.

After a while, he turned to the soap-robed man and said, "Senior brother, no matter what basis he is accepting disciples now, and no matter what he is doing when he accepts disciples, but he always wants to teach some methods to the people he has received, all we have to do is to try to get in touch with this Li Yan, and then obtain these methods from him. ”

After a moment of silence in the corner of the hall, the footsteps gradually began to rise, and slowly disappeared, Marshal Hong was still sitting in the wide chair and silent, the hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

In the evening, Daqingshan, Lijia Village Changbo and his son Li Wei returned from the field as usual, although the harvest in the field after the locust plague was a foregone conclusion, but after all, some were retained, and the feelings of the croppers for the grain were like a loving mother and a wandering son, and the grains were all hard, not that the old man could understand. Every family in the village still has to go to their own fields every day to cultivate and maintain the few remaining fruits.

Changbo always comes back early before the evening, when the sky is still very bright, after arriving home, the wife and the four daughters will prepare a simple dinner, they have to finish the dinner before dark, so as not to have to light the oil lamp for a long time after dark, the days are not good in the past few years, and the lamp oil money is also to be saved.

Since Li Yan left yesterday, the atmosphere at home has been depressed. "His father, the village chief should be back today, right?" Li Yanniang watched the other people eat the potato in the bowl without a bite, but she herself didn't move her chopsticks, and then asked her wife with a sad face.

"I said how can you be so babbled like this, since yesterday at noon, you have asked this question from time to time, how many times have you told you that it will take at least two days to come and go, this is still a smooth thing, you can eat your meal with peace of mind. Li Yan's father raised his head, his face was also impatient and bored, and he tapped the edge of the bowl with chopsticks to "ding".

"You went to the field early in the morning, and only came back after a day to say these words, why do you ask this question from time to time? Li Yanniang muttered in a low voice.

Li Wei looked at Li Xiaozhu, Li Xiaozhu happened to look at him too, and the two of them wanted to interject a few questions at first, but when they saw this, they didn't dare to say more. In fact, they also know that even if they ask, their father doesn't know, but they just think that it is this fruitless word, and everyone seems to be more comfortable when they talk about it.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a loud voice came in, "Changbo, I'm back, I'm back, haha." As soon as they heard this voice, the whole room was in high spirits, this was Li Guoxin's voice, and suddenly the tables, chairs, benches, and chopsticks were chaotic, and several people rushed out of the house.

Looking at the chopsticks littered on the overturned stools, chairs and tables and the potatoes that were still left in the bowl after eating a few bites, Li Yanniang looked at the three nervous figures and squirted, "Dead goods, aren't you in a hurry, this is all in time for reincarnation." Then he hurried up and walked out of the house.

Outside the house, Li Guoxin was walking towards Li Yan's house, followed by a group of children and a few villagers in the village, before he reached the door, he saw three figures in the house running out as if flying, and looked at it, it was Chang Bo and his two children, followed by Li Yanniang, who was also a little anxious. When Chang Bo saw Li Guoxin, he quickly stood up, Li Wei and Li Xiaozhu also came forward, Chang Bo took a breath, and then said with a smile on his face, "Guoxin, you're back! Come, go into the house and drink water, and talk slowly." ”

Li Guoxin looked at Chang Bo's forced calm face, but his eyes were full of anxiety, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, Chang Bo, I won't go in, the carriage that just entered the village is still tied to the front, Li Yu and Li Shan's house didn't go, so I came to you first, and after talking to you, I still have to go to their house to report the news." ”

When Chang Bo heard this, he nodded again and again, "Make, make." Then the three of them looked at Li Guoxin with an expectant expression.

Li Guoxin was patting a few village dolls who were playing in circles around him at this time, "Go, go, hurry back and let the adults in the family come to my house in a while, and take back the things that their respective families want." A group of babies listened to the joy of "Oh, oh......" and left, some ran to their homes, and a few ran to a few villagers who came with them. The villagers they met at the head of the village were standing with interest holding their arms or patting their children's heads, listening to the news that the village chief had brought back from the city.

Li Guoxin waited for these children to leave from his side, and then turned his head to look at Li Yan's family, who were already smiling and not easy to urge. Li Guoxin's face turned straight and said, "Uncle Chang, I didn't go to the two of them first, I came to you first, but I have great news to tell you." ”

"Oh, Uncle Guoxin, what's the good news?" Li Wei interjected on the side, and the other three also looked at Li Guoxin with nervous and expectant expressions at the same time. A few villagers around also asked their children to stop fighting, and approached a little closer to form a small circle.

Seeing this scene, Li Guoxin was not selling Guan Zi at the moment, and said, "Changbo, the feng shui of your ancestral tomb seems to be very good, Li Yan entered the city this time to join the Guards, but who knows ......." Li Guoxin brought the things in the city one by one, and added some information about the deeds and origins of the third division in the middle, so as not to let them know what the origin of the person Li Yan worshipped.

As he spoke, there were many villagers around him, and everyone heard this, first they didn't know what to do, and then they exploded with a bang, and all kinds of voices were constantly discussed, and the Changbo family was already standing on the spot, unable to believe it. Li Yan actually bowed to the door of an adult whose name was more famous than Marshal Hong, and this Ji military division really had such ability? But seeing Li Guoxin's sworn appearance, everyone still chose to believe it. The people in the mountains have little knowledge, the village chief is already the biggest official, and occasionally a small official comes to the town, which feels like the emperor is the general, and the people in the mountains are also simple, and they have always been convinced by the words of the village chief.

"God, I'll drop God, God......." Li Yanniang stood in the crowd and muttered to herself, like falling into a dream. After Chang Bo stood still, the two lines of old tears had burst out of his eyes.

In the Military Division's Mansion, the door of Li Yan's room has been closed since lunch, and a small black wooden sign is hung on the handle outside the door.

After Li Yan finished lunch, he didn't choose the empty room next to him as a cultivation room, he felt that it was good in his own room, hung up the black wooden sign and closed the door, he pulled out a chair, sat down at the table, picked up the little wooden man, and carefully thought about the "Breath Guidance Technique" practice route in his mind, and then carefully confirmed the direction of these routes to the little wooden man, while recalling the mental mantra in his mind again, he didn't want to become the same result as that senior brother.

In this way, about the time of a pillar of incense has passed. He put down the little wooden figure, sat down cross-legged on the wooden bed, and began to practice according to the mantra. However, he decided in his heart that if he realized that something was wrong, he would immediately stop cultivating.

What he didn't know was that the cultivation he started today would have changed the trajectory of his life, and he would embark on that long road of quest from now on.
