Huo Binhu controlled his emotions a little, looked at Ding Yima again, and asked cautiously: "Senior Ding, I don't know what your next plan is?

Ding Yima thought for a while and shook his head gently: "External injuries are easy to treat, but internal injuries are difficult to heal." Although Xinggu has a miracle medicine to resurrect the dead, there is no first-class cultivator master, nor does he have a master of internal strength. Internal injuries still have to be healed by internal strength, my viscera is seriously injured, and I have been delayed for too long to flee for my life, if I insist on returning to the Five Elements Heaven and Earth in a bumpy boat, I am afraid that I will completely collapse if I can't hold on to the sect. ”

"Senior, how about you write a letter, and I will send my right-hand brother to send the general out, and invite the master of the White Sun Gate to come to Xinggu to heal your wounds?" asked Huo Binhu.

Ding Yima said: "Brother Huo, don't hide it, I went out of the mountain to leave the Five Elements World this time, in addition to staying bored at the mountain gate and wanting to go down the mountain for a walk, another reason is to secretly investigate the case of the disappearance of the gatekeeper in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Missing?" Huo Binhu said curiously.

"That's right. Don't think that everything is safe if Bairimen is the first-rate sect in the world, this world is not very peaceful, there are masters like clouds, and there are countless conspirators. It seems that there is a force eyeing the White Sun Gate, and our sects scattered in all walks of life have had a number of first-class masters disappear mysteriously over the years, causing the sect to be vigilant. Because of this, I took the initiative to ask Ying to go down the mountain to investigate. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that a few days after leaving the Black Forest and arriving at the southern boundary of Qishan, I was also targeted by someone with a heart and was seriously injured by a terrible teenager. ”

Huo Binhu nodded and said, "Senior, let me say something disrespectful, with your unkempt and unkempt image, if you hadn't been recognized and targeted early, it wouldn't be easy to find your old man in the vast sea of people, right?"

"That's right. With my style of acting, I will not be easily recognized by anyone as having anything special, I can only say that someone with a heart has been eyeing me for a long time, and they are very clear about my strength, and they only killed me when I was far away from the range of the Five Elements Heaven and Earth. ”

"If I write a letter to ask the sect to send someone to come and heal my wounds, once I am targeted by someone with a heart, not only will the person sent be in danger, but the news that I am not dead will also spread, which is also very unfavorable to Brother Huo. To be honest, I'm old, and I don't have a few years to live. Even if everything goes well, this toss is just a few more years of food, and there is really no need. ”

Ding Yima glanced at Huo Binhu deeply, and said with a smile: "And Brother Huo has invested in me at such a cost, if my old man doesn't know what to do and only cares about himself, I'm afraid it will also chill my brother's heart, right?"

Huo Binhu was stunned: "Senior Ding, I naturally hope that you can recover as soon as possible." ”

Ding Yima nodded and said with a smile: "When people are old, their physical functions decline, and the injuries of their internal organs are difficult to heal. I don't know how many more years I can live, old man, where will I live in the last few years, and besides, Bairimen Mountain is not a clean place...... Brother Huo, I know you have expectations for me, the old man is not a person who doesn't know what to do, the so-called reciprocating the peach, Brother Huo, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. ”

Huo Binhu smiled and said with a little embarrassment:

"Senior Ding really can't rub sand in his eyes. I don't tell lies in front of real people, I do have expectations for my predecessors, but I feel that I am a little delusional, and I have not been embarrassed to say it. ”

"Since my predecessor said so, I'll open the skylight and say something!"

Huo Binhu's expression was solemn

, looked at Ding Yima and said: "Senior, the current Wonder World is not as peaceful as before......

It turned out that with the rise of the forces of Qicheng and Fengyuncheng, there were wars everywhere in the north and south, and the people were displaced.

Although the Ginkgo Valley is located in the extreme south, relying on the merchant teams that spread over almost the entire southern boundary of Qishan, Huo Binhu has been closely following the changes in the situation in the Qijie.

In recent years, the first-class forces such as Qicheng, Lengjiabao, and Iron Hat City, which had been fighting in recent years, seemed to have a tendency to stop making peace, which made Huo Binhu very uneasy.

Iron Hat City is the most powerful force outside of Apricot Valley. The samurai family sits in the Iron Hat City, and there is no shortage of martial arts and good warriors from the head of the family to the children of the family.

The relationship between the martial arts family and the Huo family in the Ginkgo Valley is lukewarm, but it can barely be regarded as a powerful barrier outside the Ginkgo Valley. If Iron Hat City and the northern forces shook hands and made peace, it would naturally not be a good thing for Ginkgo Valley.

In addition, wars are frequent in the rivers and lakes, and business is not easy to do.

The merchants sent out by the Ginkgo Valley are often robbed by Jiangyang thieves, but the first-class players of the Ginkgo Valley want to stay in the valley to protect the headquarters, and it is impossible to send them all outside.

The merchant trade is extremely profitable, and it can exchange for many important materials that Xinggu does not have, and it can also get information to keep Xinggu abreast of the changes in the outside world, and there is no reason to stop because there are many bandits.

Therefore, in addition to family education such as culture and business, martial arts practice is also an area that the Huo family pays great attention to in the cultivation of the next generation.

It's a pity that there are no top-level sects in the southern realm of Qishan, and the Ginkgo Valley is located in a remote place, so the strength of the martial artists that can be invited is really not high, and the martial arts cheats bought from the auction house and the underground black market are only second-rate.

In the face of the "Third Brother" group of powerful black-clothed warriors, what Huo Binhu could do was to rely on the advantage of more people to forcibly fight more and less, if there were fewer guards, he was doomed to defeat.

"Senior Ding, let's not hide it, the Huo family guards such a big family business, and it is becoming more and more difficult to maintain it. A gang of bandits of unknown origin is still so difficult to deal with, if other forces outside the Apricot Valley covet us, I doubt that I am capable enough to protect the many people in the valley!"

"Senior, the first time I saw you, I guessed that you must be a first-class master of a famous family. Although I do have some goals and great expectations for you, even if you pat your ass and leave, I will not regret it and will not complain to you. I am the great commander of the entire Ginkgo Valley, dozens of large and small towns in the Apricot Valley, millions of people, I have to gamble in the face of a rare opportunity!"

"Senior, if you can, I hope you can take some time to teach our children in Xinggu martial arts!" Huo Binhu said solemnly.

Ding Yima looked directly into Huo Binhu's eyes and asked, "Master Huo Zhai, do you know that the more famous the sect, the stricter the rules of the sect, and it is impossible to teach the martial arts of the sect privately!"

Huo Binhu's eyes darkened when he heard this, as if he had been hit by something, and nodded silently: "I...... I know. ”

Ding Yima suddenly laughed, patted Huo Binhu's arm, and said with a smile:

"Brother, are you disappointed? Although the rules of the sect prohibit the disciples from privately teaching martial arts, it is not a violation of the law to teach the disciples of the sect. Although my Ding Yima martial arts are mediocre, I am an elder of the 'gold' word hall and have an apprentice

of qualifications. ”

Huo Binhu was stunned, his head running rapidly.

Ding Yima said: "Brother Huo, you listen to me about this." Since you have spread the news that I died at the hands of the 'third brother', even if I promise to teach the children in the valley to practice martial arts, I can't make a big fuss. In this way, there are always people in the Five Elements and Eight Characters Apricot Valley who understand a little, right?"

Huo Binhu nodded, feeling vaguely excited: "Yes, senior, there are many fortune tellers in Luming Village, and they know more or less about the five elements and eight characters!"

"Brother, I will promise you today. I lived for more than sixty years, and an apprentice confiscated it. Today, I will take a few apprentices in your Ginkgo Valley and teach a few successors well!"

Huo Binhu's body was shocked, and then he was overjoyed: "Senior, you agreed?!"

Ding Yima smiled: "Don't worry, listen to me." Brother Huo, what I am cultivating is the orthodox Five Elements Immortal Technique, and I have extremely strict requirements for people's innate destiny. In this way, you secretly choose some children who are about ten years old, and the birth dates of these children should be clarified in advance, and then find some reliable fortune tellers to calculate, the more complete the five elements, the more don't, the more innate five elements in the 'gold' attribute more the better. Because the old man, what I practice is the 'Five Elements Alchemy Control Technique', and the more I do this kung fu, the more the Five Elements Dujin will be easier to learn, and the higher the upper limit of my future achievements. Brother Huo, have you written it down?"

Huo Binhu quickly calculated in his head, nodded, and asked, "Senior, how many children should I bring?"

"No more than ten people, I can't take care of any more. ”

Huo Binhu nodded, ten children, of course not much.

But if these ten children can learn the essence of Ding Yima's "Five Elements Alchemy Control Technique", it is equivalent to ten more first-class masters in Ginkgo Valley out of thin air in the future, which is also a blessing to find.

Talking about this, it is already a moon and stars outside.

Inside, everyone was in high spirits.

Ji Kai couldn't help but interject: "Brother Huo, speaking of which, you are also the chosen child?"

Huo Changmen laughed, took a sip of red wine, and said, "That's right." In addition to me, the Luo Ji brothers and the Ma brothers were also the children who were selected at that time. Time flies, I was just ten years old, and thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye......"

Ji Longjun said in his heart: "I'm only sixteen years old, and you are in your forties, is it really appropriate to call you Brother Huo?"

"Brother Huo," Ji Longjun said with a normal face, "Then what happened? Your father finally chose a few children, did they learn powerful techniques?"

Huo Changmen nodded and said, "A total of ten children were selected." Speaking of which, my father was a little more selfish, and at that time, there were more than one million people in Xinggu, and it was naturally not difficult to select ten children with excellent talents. But how can this kind of thing be done with great fanfare? My father considered the stability of the Huo family and the entire Ginkgo Valley, so he chose two teenagers in his family, one was me and the other was a younger brother of my own family, Huo Xugang. In addition, eight children were selected from several major families. ”

Huo Changmen said: "The ten children selected by my father are more from the perspective of maintaining the stability of the rule, and I have nothing to say about this." But when it comes to qualifications, the ten of us can only say that they are indeed a lot better than ordinary children, but they are still a little short of the best choice, except for only one person. ”

Luo Ji and Ma Biao quietly glanced at each other, their eyes were a little complicated.
