Chapter XVIII

Looking at such a scene, Shangguan Lan's thoughts were ethereal, and she recalled the events of her youth. He reminded the two of them: "You must concentrate to read the words in the jade slip, otherwise the jade slip will always be just a piece of jade slip." I will practice with you here today, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me, and in the future you will have to rely on yourselves. ”

The two of them answered, and then each found a place to meditate.

Everything is the most difficult at the beginning, and for young men and women like them, who are in their teens, it is definitely not an easy task to go from their previous imagination to starting their own cultivation. Although Ming Hao practiced actively, he was the first to begin to settle down, and with his eyes closed, he began to enter the so-called state of mind of the uncle. But although it looks like a god, it is different, and as soon as you close your eyes, it seems that various pictures jump out in front of you, and the so-called unity of mind and mind really can't find what it feels like.

I felt the feeling of not being able to cultivate for a long time.

Maybe it was inspiration, maybe it was a flash of inspiration, after a while, Minghao seemed to enter a wonderful situation, at this time he only felt his body into the clouds and mist, as if he was in the sky and into the ground. For a while, it seems that I have completed my cultivation, and for a while, it seems that I have returned to the basics and returned to mortals, which is really mysterious, have I succeeded?

Bang dong, Minghao nodded a little, and suddenly woke up, oops, who hit me? Looking at the situation, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and saw the uncle looking at himself with sideways eyes. A voice sounded in his ears: "Minghao, is your cultivation just sleeping?"

Ming Hao looked at Xue'er and Lin Xin, and saw that they were all serious, silently grimacing, and hurriedly started again.

After a long time, Lin Xin and the others were also average, and they couldn't comprehend the law in the jade slip for a long time. Seeing that several people were unable to get their own legal decisions, Shangguan Lan's face was flat, and he suddenly said to the three of them: "At the beginning of cultivation, it is most difficult to settle down, and today you are just beginning, don't be discouraged if you don't succeed." That's all for today, and you can go back and practice on your own. If you have a problem, you can ask a few elders. ”

Shangguan Xue'er and the others opened their eyes, their pretty faces were dejected, and they asked their father: "Dad, why can't I understand the feeling you said, it's difficult to even calm down?"

Shangguan Lan glanced at the three of them, and her eyes returned to her daughter: "Do you know how long it took Dad to complete the first step of this cultivation?"

"My daughter doesn't know!"

Shangguan Lan laughed loudly: "Dad boasts that he has a good talent for cultivation, and it took nearly half a year to barely read the words in this jade slip. At first, I could read the Dharma, but my will was not tenacious, and I was slightly distracted and returned to normal. You've only been sitting for half a day and you're trying to read a name for yourself from it, but it's unlikely. ”

So long!!!! Shangguan Xue'er asked again, "I don't know how much time it took for the person who can learn the law in the jade slip the fastest?"

"There are a lot of cultivators in the world, and I think there should be a lot of people who are faster than my father. Shangguan Lan groaned for a while in the face of her daughter's question, and then said, "I think there is someone who should be much faster than me." ”

"Who?" The three of them were dumbfounded, Shangguan Lan was already profound, and his talent was also good, who could be faster than him?

"You know this man better than I do. Shangguan Lan smiled deeply.

Xue'er and the others glanced at each other and gave each other a "do you know who" look. Although the family is large, there are not many people who are familiar with it at the same time, and they can be counted with both hands. Mrs. Zhou is just an ordinary person and has never practiced. Ming Hao's father is already famous in the family for his mediocre cultivation talent, is he one of several elder grandfathers?

The three of them shook their heads and didn't know, Shangguan Lan said to Ming Hao: "You are most familiar with her." ”

It's all hinted at this point, how can you not know?" "Uncle, you're talking about my sister!" Shangguan Minghao shouted.

"It's your sister. It's a pity that he went to his Spirit Sword Gate. Of course, the latter words were said by Shangguan Lan in her heart.

"That sister, how long did it take her to learn the law?"

As the head of the family, Shangguan Lan knows many things in the family, but Shangguan Xuehui is the daughter of the second brother. He also didn't know clearly, but according to Shangguan Zheng's statement, the time would not be very long: "If my estimate is good, it should be less than three months." ”

The three of them were secretly stunned, Sister Xue Hui was so powerful.

Shangguan Lan ignored the ghostly expressions on the faces of several people, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain, every day in the future, you can come here to learn the Dharma Decision in the Jade Slip, until you learn the complete set of Law Decisions." As he spoke, he took back the jade slips in the hands of several people and put them until they were in their original hands.

Do everything and go down the mountain with a few people.

......

A few days ago, Shangguan Wuji brought news that the Shahai Gang entrenched in the coast had begun to do the Shangguan family's unique dark iron business, intending to compete with the Shangguan family.

Dark iron, or undersea iron, is essentially an ore. It is deep in the polar regions of the sea, and the mining process is extremely difficult, so the Shangguan family has the ability to go to the sea to pick, so this dark iron business is the arbitrary decision of the Shangguan family. Dark iron is an essential material for refining weapons, and weapons made of dark iron are as rigid as King Kong, but they are full of toughness, which is really a rare treasure. Many cultivators want to refine weapons and magic weapons, and they buy them from the Shangguan family, and the huge benefits in this can be imagined!

Now that someone wants to come to get a piece of the pie, why didn't they pick up the tiger whiskers of the Shangguan family.

There is no huge bird like the Spirit Sword Gate, if you go against the wind, you don't know how much skill it will take, and Shangguan Zheng himself is not high, so he can only ride a horse to Mizhou. This horse is different from ordinary horses, it runs as fast as the wind, and can rest for most of the day after running thousands of miles a day. Shangguan Zheng and the others rode their horses and galloped day and night, and they traveled for several days and nights in a row, even though they were cultivators, they were also a little tired. As soon as he arrived in Mizhou City, Shangguan Zheng went to the clan branch: Mizhou Shangguan's house.

It was already dark when I came. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw three figures hurrying up to meet him. Walking in front was a man in his forties, his face resolute, his eyebrows were thick, and his eyes were bright and shining. At such a time when he was at the most energetic age, there seemed to be many things in his heart, but at this time, there was a lingering tiredness on his face.

Seeing Shangguan Zheng and his entourage coming, he arched his hand and said to the visitor: "The second head of the family will come quickly, and it will take some time to get from the clan to Mizhou, I don't want you to come in five days." I couldn't handle the matter of Mizhou this time, and I also drove you thousands of miles to deal with this matter, which really makes me feel ashamed. ”

Shangguan Zheng replied: "Respect my brother politely, I can't blame you for this, it's really unexpected." We haven't faced anything like this in years, and it would be tricky for anyone to do it. ”

"Yes, yes. "Respect my brother and hurriedly say yes.

Respect me is also a member of the Shangguan family, but like Shangguan Wuji, he is not a direct blood line, and his name is Respect Me, so he is called Shangguan Respect Me. He is the head of the Shangguan family's Xuantie business, and has controlled the Xuantie trade in the Southern Regions for many years.

"The two masters have traveled such a long way, and they must be very tired when they first arrive at this time, so let's go in and rest quickly. As he spoke, he made an invitation to Shangguan Zheng, and then returned to his home and said to a young man behind him: "Yuan Liang, you go and order the people to make some tea and light meals and send them to the second family's room." ”

"Yes, Dad. With that, he turned and left.

I have been to this place many times, and the two heads of the family do not need others to guide the way. All the way to a guest room in the backyard. I put my things in place and poured a cup of tea, and as soon as I sat down, I heard a sound of footsteps outside. "The second head of the family is me. Shangguan respectfully called me, and the door was light.

"Respectfully, my brother, please come in. ”

The door was pushed open, and as soon as Shangguan Jing entered the door, he saw Shangguan Zheng sitting at the table. I don't know what I'm thinking, and I'm a little distracted.

"It's late tonight, I think the second head of the family should not be in a hurry first, let's talk about this matter tomorrow. "Before coming in just now, Shangguan Zheng told him that he must tell him what happened later, and discuss countermeasures together. The way of businessmen must seize the opportunity, and now it has been delayed for a few days, maybe it is too late to delay it any longer.

Shangguan Zheng came back to his senses and said, "You sit down." Then I poured a cup of tea for Shangguan Jing, and Shangguan Jing and I hurriedly received it. He can see clearly, this cup of tea is not delicious, it seems that the two heads of the family have to figure things out tonight.

He asked first, but I said first, and Shangguan respected me first: "About half a month ago, when we went to sea to mine Xuantie. At first everything was business as usual, nothing out of the ordinary. When I got into the sea, I found that several ships were also there. At first, we thought it was just a few merchant ships passing through the sea, and we didn't pay much attention to it. But it's strange that they haven't left after we've been here for a long time. Someone was sent to check it out, and the person who came back said that they were actually mining the dark iron in the sea. I was shocked and didn't believe it. So I went to check it out for myself, and it turned out that we were mining the same black iron in the sea. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Shangguan Zheng, and seeing that he listened carefully without words, he continued: "At that time, I wondered how they could have the ability to go to tens of thousands of feet under the sea to obtain Xuaniron, but the fact is that it is in front of me, and I have to believe it. In order to inquire about the situation, I sent someone to send a letter of worship, saying that I would visit their shopkeeper. They agreed without saying a word, and waited for me to get on the boat. But I saw Sha Mantian, the leader of the Shahai Gang, laughing and walking out of the cabin, I was very surprised at the time, what kind of goods the Shahai Gang was, I knew it clearly, and I didn't make a sound at the moment, and went into the cabin with them. ”

Shangguan Jing said a lot in one breath, picked up the tea Gu and took a sip of tea. He didn't speak, and the two heads of the family didn't speak, and the room was suddenly quiet.
