The ancestral land of the Xu family, the West Gully Palace.

Xu Baoying walked into the hall and put down Xu Disheng, the hall was still bright and transparent, and the lights were bright. There were four old men, sitting cross-legged in front of the hall, and when they saw Xu Baoying coming in, they all opened their eyes and said, "Great Elder, how is it?"

Xu Baoying said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, I hid in the dark to watch the ceremony, and the pulse measuring platform has not yet completely produced the results, so I interrupted the pulse measurement and brought Sheng'er over." ”

The second elder, the eldest of the four elders, was a little breathless, and said, "Then what is this sub-Dao lineage?" Xu Baoying shook his head and did not answer, but looked down at Xu Disheng: "Do you know how many grades of Dao veins you are?" Xu Disheng was carried all the way by the great elder, but he was not in the panic of an ordinary five-year-old child, his black eyes were calm, and when he heard this, he reached out and tidied up his clothes first, and then said: "Sheng'er doesn't know, but Sheng'er knows that grandpa is for Sheng'er's good." ”

Xu Baoying nodded slightly, and said to the second elder: "I observe the pulse platform first suppressed and then raised, if the aperture spreads, at least it will be a third-grade Dao vein!" So I hurriedly interrupted, but the Guo family Guo Renhou and the Bai family still have some eyesight, and these should not be hidden from them." When he goes back, his Guo family is afraid that he will report to Youyang City, the capital of Youzhou Prefecture. ”

Shangqing Dao, the state religion of the Great Chu Imperial Court! The eleven states of Great Chu, each state has a Shangqing Dao Mansion, which supervises the world! The power even exceeds the ruling state, and the Youzhou Zhizhou is the son of King Xing, who controls the territory of 20,000 li in the nineteen counties of Youzhou, and according to folk legends, the Youzhou Provincial Government can be on an equal footing with the prince of Xingwang, or even surpass. It's just that the people of the Taoist Mansion re-cultivate the Xuan, and they don't pay much attention to worldly things.

"Three Rank Dao Pulse! My Xu family can be so arrogant!" the second elder stood up suddenly, his expression excited.

"The ancestor of my Xu family, with the innate strength of half a step, was a personal guard under the command of Zhizhou at that time, and was given a territory. But the qualifications of the ancestors are only the four grade Dao veins!" The third elder, that is, the shadow elder, answered with a happy face. The remaining two elders also looked surprised.

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Xu Baoying was not so optimistic, raised his hand to let a few elders sit down, and said in a deep voice: "Three-grade Dao vein! Even if it is the entire nineteen counties of Youzhou, it has not appeared! At most, it is only a four-grade Dao vein." But the four grades of the Dao vein are already the talents of the heavens, and the breakthrough is extraordinary, and the achievement of the innate martial artist is almost a foregone conclusion!"

There was a person walking outside the hall, it was Xu Chaoyang, the head of the Xu family. He sent the guests away, rushed back and forth to the West Gully Palace, and when he entered the hall and saw that the five elders were there, he clasped his fists and saluted: "I have seen the great elders, and I have seen the elders of the Council of Lords." The elders nodded slightly. Although Xu Baoying is his father, the authority of the Great Elder of the Council of Elders is unquestionable in the Xu family, and he must be called the Great Elder in front of outsiders.

Xu Baoying raised his hand and said, "Chaoyang, no courtesy." What do you think should happen to this?"

Xu Chaoyang looked at the octagonal Dao platform that he usually cultivated, and at this moment it was already occupied by Xu Baoying cross-legged, he didn't dare to say more, his eyelids twitched slightly, and said: "Great Elder, in my opinion, Sheng'er may be the upper third-grade Dao vein!" I once saw in an ancient book that only the upper third-grade Dao vein, the vein measuring platform will first shrink and then expand, and the white light will skyrocket!"

"Well, my Xu family has three acquired peaks, and today there is a five-grade Dao vein Xu Qingcheng, and Sheng'er, a suspected third-grade Dao vein with a congenital companion, my Xu family's generation should be a big xing!" Xu Baoying said, "But the appearance of the upper three-grade Dao vein, it is no longer a matter for us to decide, you quickly arrange manpower, rush to Youyang City in Youzhou in the starry night, and there is still the Shangqing Dao Mansion under the residence of the prince of Xing Wang! Don't let the Guo family report for us first, so as not to be passive! As for the congenital concomitant thing...... Leave it a secret for now. ”

"Yes, Grand Elder. Xu Chaoyang suppressed his excitement and said to the outside of the hall: "Someone!" A soldier came in outside the hall gate, and Xu Chaoyang bowed his head and ordered not to mention it for the time being.

"Grandpa, what kind of power is Shangqing Dao, why hasn't Sheng'er heard it in five years?" Xu Disheng suddenly spoke, his voice was clear and his eyes were bright. He barely communicates with people, so much so that the entire Xu family thinks he is a weird child. Only the Presbyterians know that he has an innate companion and is born different. At this moment, he suddenly opened his mouth to ask, but it was a word.

The five elders in the hall and Xu Chaoyang all looked at him, they had always treated him as a child, and Xu Disheng didn't say much, so everyone never asked him what he thought. At this moment, when I heard him ask, I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Shangqing Dao......" Xu Baoying said with a hint of respect in his eyes, "Do you know the prince of Xingwang?"

"Sheng'er knows that the prince of Xingwang is the eldest son of King Xing, one of the three kings of the Great Chu court, and the prince of the crown, and the ruler of Youzhou, who controls the territory of 19 counties and 20,000 li. ”

"Yes, there is another identity under the residence of King Xing, that is, a disciple of Shangqing Dao in Youzhou. If you don't have this identity, even if you are the son of the world, you can't get the power to rule a state. ”

"Could it be that Shangqing Dao can intervene in the Great Chu Imperial Court?"

"Heh!" Xu Baoying showed a sneer, "Intervention? nominally it is to supervise the world, but have you ever heard the words Shangqing Dao on weekdays?"

"Great Elder, you've said too much. The second elder interrupted softly, "Xu Disheng, you are the most talented person in my Xu family's generation, the elders have decided that the family resources will be tilted towards you as much as possible in the future, in addition to the Xu family's family tradition "Tiangang Martial Arts", the Xu family also has two secret martial arts, which are given by the imperial court, only the five grades of Dao lineage and above can be practiced, and you can also choose one of the secret martial arts practitioners. And all kinds of combat martial arts, you can choose from them!"

Xu Disheng saluted and thanked: "Thank you, elders, grandfather Xie." Later, he said it to Xu Baoying, and what he said was very obedient. If you change to someone else, you can only call yourself the Great Elder, and he Xu Disheng is the great-grandson of Xu Jiying, and no one can say anything if he calls his grandfather.

"Okay! My Xu family has this son, and I will be very prosperous!" Xu Baoying said with a smile. He and several elders were almost trapped at the peak of the day after tomorrow, and even his son Xu Chaoyang caught up with the same peak of the day after tomorrow. Congenital congenital, once you enter the congenital, you are extraordinary, and you can get out of this place of the city!

The Xu family seems to be beautiful, with four hundred miles of land autonomy, but it has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it has been hereditary, but there has never been a single innate martial artist! It sounds good to say that it is one of the four major families in Ruyang County, but if you look at Youzhou, it is just a small family in the countryside.

Ruyang County, Ruyang Fucheng, Guo family.

In the delicate study, agarwood is curling, and a middle-aged man in a dark robe is waving his hand to paint.

The middle-aged man looked extremely serious and his face was solemn, but he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, and his brows furrowed.

"Lord Deacon, you also know that Lord Deacon is strictly forbidden to disturb anyone when he is painting, so don't embarrass his subordinates. ”

"I have something to do. Guo Renhou said in a deep voice.

"Let him in. A middle-aged man's voice came from the study.

"Yes. ”

Guo Renhou closed the door of the study, looked back and saluted: "I have seen the head of the house." ”

"Excuse me, why are you so anxious? Didn't you take someone to Xu's house to watch the ceremony? According to the practice of previous years, a banquet would be held for a few days after the pulse measurement and viewing ceremony, why was it so hurried this time?" The middle-aged man did not stop painting brushes in his hand.

"The head of the family, the Xu family has a five-grade Dao vein Xu Allure!"

After a pause in the brush, a large ink spot suddenly appeared in this picture of pine after the rain, completely destroying the atmosphere of the whole painting.
