The medicinal power of the two spirit herbs had been completely integrated into Dong Xiaolong's body, and he felt that his body seemed to have become lighter, and this resurrection made his soul more solid. The True Qi that Tang Hanfeng lost to him plus two medicinal powers, his Qi Sea expanded a lot, and he was already about to reach the standard of the Heavenly Rank. It had only been a few days since he broke through the ground level, and this speed also surprised him a little, but Dong Xiaolong's grandfather had taught him since he was a child that speed was not enough, and such an increase in speed was not necessarily a good thing.

The sky was gradually getting brighter, Tang Hanfeng and the three of them were still in a state of meditation, and Dong Xiaolong quietly ended his cultivation. There is also a thick layer of dirt on the surface of his body, which should be the impurities in his body, and it is no wonder that he feels that his body has become lighter. After getting out of bed and taking a shower, today's cultivation was enough, and he decided to go out for a walk after taking a bath. Today, grandpa will go to school, grandparents and grandchildren have not seen each other for a while, and after experiencing life and death, he also cherishes the opportunity to get along with relatives and friends even more.

This experience also taught him the importance of cultivating strength, and he needed to cultivate harder, both for himself and the people around him. Besides, Tang Hanfeng saved him this time by consuming such precious herbs, and he couldn't keep himself out of this kindness anymore. Since you can't dodge, it's better to attack head-on than to sit back and wait for death.

Dong Xiaolong changed his clothes and left the dormitory, and walked to the front of the library. The library in front of me was in ruins. At about four o'clock in the morning, just after dawn, there was a figure standing in front of the library. Dong Xiaolong immediately entered a state of alert, after all, at this time, almost no one would appear here.

That person was only about a hundred meters away from Dong Xiaolong, and just when Dong Xiaolong wanted to approach quietly, that person turned his head to Dong Xiaolong and said, "Don't hide when you come, there are not many young people like you who get up so early now." ”

Hearing that the former already knew about his existence, Dong Xiaolong had nothing to hide, so he stepped forward and took a closer look. The person standing in front of him turned out to be a gray-haired old man, and it was not easy for this old man to perceive himself in such a faint light. It's just that this old man's face is a little familiar, and Dong Xiaolong always feels that he has seen it somewhere.

"Hello grandpa, what are you doing here so early?" Dong Xiaolong still asked the old man politely.

"I'm old, and I have a short time to sleep, and I can't sleep at all because something so big happened in this school last night. The old man sighed and continued, "Fortunately, there were no students killed or injured in the accident last night, otherwise I would be ashamed of the parents of these children." ”

"May I ask the old man, who are you?" Dong Xiaolong heard the old man say this, obviously someone related to this school.

"I'm Wu Zhen, the principal of this school. ”

Now Dong Xiaolong finally remembered that he had seen the old man at the opening ceremony of the school. "It's the principal, I'm sorry I didn't recognize it. ”

"Haha, it's okay. I'm older, so I show up for an important occasion once in a while. It's normal for you children not to remember me, I should have retired a long time ago, but ......" Wu Zhen stopped when he said this, he looked at Dong Xiaolong carefully, sighed for a while and then said, "You are a cultivator!"

Hearing Wu Zhen say this, Dong Xiaolong's heart, which had been a little relaxed, rose again, and he unconsciously stepped back. Wu Zhen could easily find him, which showed that his strength was higher than Dong Xiaolong. Seeing this, Wu Zhen smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I have no malicious intentions, besides, I'm just an ordinary person now." With your current strength, you could easily kill me. ”

"You can see through my strength, at least I'm not an ordinary person, you should have been a master before. Dong Xiaolong was ready to fight back at any time, although Wu Zhen said this, he didn't dare to relax anymore.

"I used to cultivate, so I was more sensitive to the fluctuations of true qi. About 30 years ago, I broke up my cultivation and came to this school to be the principal. It's also interesting to say that this school was founded by my father, who used to be a cultivator, but later gave up cultivation at middle age and established this school here. I can be regarded as following his old path, and my son has inherited his father's business. ”

"Why did you disperse your cultivation?" Dong Xiaolong asked very puzzled. Although it sounded a little bizarre, he still chose to believe Wu Zhen. As a principal who cares about students, he shouldn't be a bad person.

"That's a long story, if you want to hear it, I can tell you about it. ”

"It's okay to talk about it, let's go and sit down on the bench over there. Dong Xiaolong helped Wu Zhen to sit on the bench.

Wu Zhen tidied up his clothes and began to say slowly: "Our Wu family also has a history of hundreds of years, and it was a big family a hundred years ago. The ancestor was a scholar, and he studied hard in the cold window and won the champion. After a few years as an official, the ancestors knew that they could not survive in the imperial court, so they resigned and returned to their hometowns while they could still get out. Later, he opened a school in his hometown to help those children who wanted to study. ”

Seeing that Dong Xiaolong was listening seriously, Wu Zhen continued to speak. "When the ancestors were building a school in their hometown, they dug up a stone tablet in the ground, and the stone tablet was engraved with strange runes. When the ancestor touched the stele, a figure appeared in the stele, and he told me that the stele of the ancestor is related to the fate of the world, and hoped that the ancestor could protect the stele and not let anyone know. The ancestor was kind and agreed to his request, and the figure turned into a book, and that book was a cultivation exercise. According to the content of the book, the ancestor also lived to be one hundred and fifty years old. ”

When he heard the stele, Dong Xiaolong thought of the stele left by the old world lord, that figure must be a primordial spirit left by the old world lord, and the internal strength heart method left by the old world lord must be a peerless martial arts, but why did Principal Wu Zhen disperse to cultivate? Dong Xiaolong couldn't help but be more interested in this past.

"The ancestors made another stele on the buried stele and set the rules for future generations, and the stele was the foundation of the family for generations. The ancestors hid what happened that day and did not tell the younger generations why. He sealed all these past events in the stone tablet that was built later, and if it wasn't for the stone tablet that was knocked down when the school was built, my father would not have found it. Later, my father built this library on top of it in place of the stone tablet, so that even people who knew about our family could not be found when they came. In fact, in my grandfather's generation, no one remembered the rules left by their ancestors or anything. The family is falling apart, and only our family is still guarding here. And that exercise was only left to my grandfather. Wu Zhen couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.

"This method of prolonging life and strengthening the body, the rest of the family didn't snatch it?" Even Dong Xiaolong was very curious about what this exercise said, since the old realm master planned to let the Wu family guard the boundary monument, naturally he would not give them an ordinary exercise casually, otherwise with the strength of the dark realm, it was not something that ordinary cultivation could resist.

The world is so big, there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of the sky. Because this exercise attracted the attention of thieves, it attracted many deaths. And in this world, our Wu family is not the only one who cultivates immortals, in short, in the end, there are fewer and fewer people in the family, and they all left the original place in order to survive. My grandfather's family took that exercise book incognito for many years, and when the rumors passed, only my grandfather's family returned to the original place. ”

Indeed, as Wu Zhen said, Dong Xiaolong's family has a cultivation method, and there will definitely be many people like them in this world. People are greedy, how can they not be remembered by the world if they have this kind of practice to prolong their lives and learn a strong martial arts. If you can't comprehend the subtleties in that exercise, and you can't cultivate the profound cultivation strength, then this exercise is a time bomb, which also reminds Dong Xiaolong of himself.

"My father was born in the cholera era, and my grandfather's generation didn't plan to touch that exercise again, but my father still chose to practice in order to protect his family and defend the country. When he reached middle age, there were constant wars, my mother died from shells, and my father was unable to save my mother by resisting the enemy at that time, after which my father was disheartened and stopped cultivating. After returning here, my father suddenly understood that force is not a good way to solve wars, what matters is people's thoughts. After that, this school was gradually established, because the ancestors were the ones who opened the school, so they were named Donghua after the ancestors, and the name of Donghua City was also derived from this school. ”

"It turns out that the establishment of this school has this kind of backstory. Dong Xiaolong not only sighed at the wonder of cause and effect in this world.

"I don't know if these guys came for this last night, but I guess they didn't succeed. The stele was buried deeper underground, and they only blew it up and didn't dig any further, perhaps because they left without seeing it. Wu Zhen patted Dong Xiaolong on the shoulder and asked, "What do you think of my father's idea?"

"Are you talking about the issue of force and cultural thought?" Dong Xiaolong thought of himself a little, Tang Hanfeng had said to himself before, if he wanted his family to be safe, he would choose not to meddle in the affairs of the dark world. But after yesterday's incident, Dong Xiaolong understood that some things could not be solved by escaping.

Wu Zhen nodded and motioned to Dong Xiaolong, Dong Xiaolong thought for a while and said: "Everyone's thinking is different, although changing people's thinking is a good way, but it is difficult to achieve. If a country wants to maintain peace, it naturally cannot rely only on ideological unity, and armed forces are equally important. We must have the strength to check and balance both internally and externally, otherwise we can only allow others to invade. Both are equally important and indispensable. ”
