"Five-grade Dao vein?, is it true?" The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged, but the ink spots on the painting meant that his mood was not as calm as it seemed.

"It's true. Guo Renhou raised his head slightly, carefully observing the middle-aged man's face.

"Hmm, what's the matter?" the middle-aged man noticed Guo Renhou's small movements, put away the drawing paper, rolled it up, and put it in the paper basket under the table.

"Xu Jia...... There is also a suspected upper third-grade Dao vein!The subordinates didn't dare to conclude, but the pulse measuring platform was first suppressed and then raised, and when it was about to spread, it was interrupted by Xu Jiaying, the great elder of the Xu family!" Guo Renhou gritted his teeth and said in one breath.

Bang!

The middle-aged man could no longer maintain the calmness of his face, and slapped the paintbrush on the desk with one hand! Guo Renhou hurriedly knelt on the ground. The guards outside the door were also stunned, looking at their noses and noses, and turning a deaf ear to the movements in the study.

"The pulse measuring platform is suppressed first and then raised, it must be the upper third-grade Dao vein! How is it possible! In this barren land of Youzhou, even the fourth-grade Dao veins are extremely rare! My Ruyang County is even more of a corner of Youzhou, and my luck is weak, and I am trapped in the corner, how can there be a proud son of heaven who is on the third-grade Dao vein?" The middle-aged man was none other than Guo Ruping, the head of the Guo family.

Guo Renhou didn't dare to answer, just half knelt.

Guo Ruping's face was gloomy, and he ordered: "My Guo family is in charge of a county, and if there is a proud son of the sky, you need to report it to the top immediately! This is an iron law! You immediately take someone to Youzhou Mansion City in person, and go to the prince's mansion to pay homage! I will now go to the ancestral land of Ruyang Mansion to pay homage to the ancestors!"

"Obey the orders of the head of the family!"

Counting the Guo family of Zhijun, the strength of the four major families in Ruyang County is not much different, none of them are innate martial artists, only the ancestor of the Guo family is suspected of being half-step congenital. Ruyang is also a barren corner of Youzhou, and there are few fights on weekdays. After so many years, several major families have been safe and sound, and there is nothing to fight for, they are all trapped here and multiplying.

This time, the Xu family came out with a Xu Disheng who was suspected of being on the third-grade Dao vein, and the whole county shook! Although Xu Baoying interrupted the pulse measurement at the last moment, the words of the people could not be stopped, and there were many smart people. Of course, this is only limited to the upper echelons of the family, and the ordinary people at the lower level will not talk about it much, at most, they will finally witness the terrifying strength of the great elder of the Xu family to transform into a phantom master as a boast after dinner.

Listening to the rain pavilion at this moment, Jin Yu is talking to a group of Jin family members, Jin Qingzhao's wife Qing, and Jin Qingdi's wife Xu are among them.

In addition to these ladies, there is also a little girl in a red dress, who is standing in the listening rain pavilion at the moment, it is Jin Yu'er, she did not go back to the Jin family with her father Jin Qingdi, but came with the Xu family to visit this aunt. The Jin family has married many families, although they are close aunts, they are rarely close.

Xu smiled and said: "Sister Yu, since you married and gave birth to Sheng'er, I haven't seen you for five years, and I haven't been able to come when Yan'er was born, so I brought some small gifts to Yan'er this time." The subordinate behind him carried two boxes, Xu nodded slightly, and the subordinate put down the box and retreated.

"Why does the second sister-in-law need to see the outside like this!" Jin Yu hugged Xu Yan and said with a smile, but he didn't look at the two boxes.

Qing also gave gifts, and the three of them exchanged a few polite words and sat down separately.

"This is Yu'er, I've heard of it, the most famous little girl in the Jin family, really Zhong Tiandi's spirit is beautiful, beautiful and lovely. Jin Yu saw Jin Yu'er behind Xu and smiled.

"Aunt Xie. Jin Yuer was dressed in a red dress, her eyes were rolling, and she bent down to give a salute when she heard the words, but she was very sensible. Although she is a girl, she has no stage fright, and she is elegant and generous in front of her elders, which is very popular.

"This time the pulse measurement, because of Sheng'er, failed to let Yu'er measure the pulse, and please forgive the second sister-in-law. Jin Yu said to Xu Shi with some apologies.

"It's okay, it's going to be the Jin family's pulse measurement next year, but this girl can't be bored at home, so I brought her over this time. Xu and Qing glanced at each other and said with a smile.

"This little girl is so cute, auntie, can I hug her?" Jin Yu'er looked at Xu Yan in Jin Yu's arms and said loudly.

"Yes. ”

"Zhenjun, when you grow up, you will be a beautiful embryo again," Jin Yuer hugged Xu Yan and looked at her with big black eyes, while muttering to herself in an old-fashioned manner. Several women looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, and Qing said with a smile: "You are only eight years old and say that others are beautiful embryos, so what are you yourself?"

Jin Yu'er sighed casually, but she was a little distracted, looked at Xu Yan's similar faces to Xu Disheng, and muttered, "It's really similar to her brother." ”

"What?" her voice was too low for a few people to hear. Jin Yu'er came back to her senses, her face was a little blushing, and she was busy: "No...... It's nothing. After saying that, he peeked at the faces of several people, and saw that a few people did not hear it, so he put his mind at ease. Jin Yuer is a little girl's mind, but when she saw Xu Disheng's good looks, she remembered him when she saw him.

Not to mention listening to the gossip of the Yu Pavilion, at this time, Xu Disheng chose martial arts in the inner hall of the Xigu Palace in the ancestral land of the Xu family.

"Sheng'er, do you know what martial arts are?" There were only two people in the hall, Xu Baoying and Xu Disheng, Xu Baoying put his hands behind his back and asked.

"As far as Sheng'er knows, martial arts are the foundation of the strength of the acquired martial artists, and only the family has various martial arts. And martial arts is the foundation of martial arts practice, the higher the number of layers of martial arts practice, the more powerful the human body can burst out, and when the cultivation reaches the high level, there can be some extraordinary power, just like the illusory hand of the grandfather, ordinary martial artists can't do it. ”

"Hmm. Xu Baoying nodded slightly, "Since ancient times, the Great Chu Imperial Court has ruled the eleven states of the world for thousands of years, and the world is strictly hierarchical and classy. The imperial court divided the world and issued various martial arts for the feudal families to practice and govern the fiefs. Each family, regardless of size, has the secret martial arts and ordinary martial arts given by the imperial court, although the ordinary martial arts of each family have different names, but they are similar. For example, my Xu family's ordinary martial arts "Tiangang Martial Arts", each layer is the power of an elephant, and the Bai family's ordinary martial arts "Wild Bull Martial Arts", one layer is the power of a rhinoceros, and there is not much difference. ”

Sheng'er knows, but what is this secret martial art? Why has no one ever mentioned it? ”

"Because the secret martial arts method is extremely difficult to cultivate, although it was given by the imperial court, there are few people in the entire Youzhou who can successfully practice it, let alone Ruyang County in the corner of Youzhou. And the qualification requirements are extremely demanding, at least the five-grade Dao veins can be practiced, and the entire Ruyang County, counting your Chaoyang grandfather, has only three five-grade Dao veins, not to mention the cultivation. So no one mentions it. ”

Xu Baoying's words fell, and he took out two ancient scrolls from the secret room of the inner hall, and continued: "One of these two articles is "Shangqing Qi", and the other is "Returning to the Yuan Qi". ”

"Qi?" Xu Disheng's eyes moved, waiting for Xu Baoying's next words.

"Yes, it's called the Secret Martial Method, but in my opinion, it's like a method for cultivating qi, and only the Five Rank Dao Veins can be successfully cultivated. The ancestor of the Guo family in Ruyang has retired for fifty years, and his age is one hundred and twenty. Everyone rumored that he was dead, but I knew that he was still alive, and that he had reached the half-step innate level, and he was only one step away from breaking through the transcendental. One hundred and twenty does not die, and there is the credit of this "Returning to the Vitality". ”

"Then is he also a five-grade Dao vein?"

"Of course, there is no sense of qi cultivation below the five-rank Dao vein, and the reason why there are only three people in the well-known five-grade Dao vein in Ruyang County is that he has retired for more than fifty years, so naturally he is not counted in it. Although your grandfather is gifted, he can't do it, and it's a pity. ”
