"You're not going to have a crush on plums, are you?"

Seeing Shaodian's face slightly red, Ding Cong asked with understanding.

Lao Li scolded angrily: "Get out!"

Shaodian was stunned and said: "No, I just want to say that I am not proficient in the control of this formation, and I have to wait for it to stop by itself every time." ”

After speaking, he remembered what he was talking about, and then smiled embarrassedly.

Ding Cong looked at Shaodian with some surprise, and then suddenly.

The formation is mostly implemented with the help of external forces, and Mi Xichuang Bagua is based on the five elements and refined. The formation used by Shaodian should be based on the energy in half a piece of jade, with Bagua as the formation, and operated through its own spiritual power. However, at this moment when cognition is extremely low-end, there is no theoretical research as a basis, and it is all about memorization and personal understanding to forcibly urge the operation of the formation, and the Shaodian is already very powerful.

Ding Cong looked at Shaodian appreciatively, took the half of the jade and looked at it, and then lifted the curtain and walked out of the room. A moment later, a noise came from outside the house, followed by a few more people, all of whom looked panicked. When he saw Shaodian sitting around with Lao Li and Wei He, he was relieved.

Ding Cong also came in, smiled and said to Shaodian: "The three of me have exhausted their skills, I don't know what Shaodian Jun thinks?"

The words were very respectful, Wei He and Lao Li also got up and stood up when Ding Cong spoke, although Lao Li didn't know what Ding Cong was thinking, listening to him say this, he also knew that he didn't want others to know his identity, after all, the only person who can live for so long and still have the same appearance is a god, right?

Shaodian was slightly stunned and then understood the meaning of Ding Cong's words, stood up and raised his hand to salute the three of them, and then said, "I wonder if the two of you are interested in serving as a priest in my bear?"

The few people who entered the room were all people with important positions, and when they saw Shaodianjun's respectful appearance, they were surprised in their hearts, since they could be recognized, it also showed that these three people were very capable. So they all raised their hands to salute the three of them, but their mouths were closed very tightly.

Ding Cong knew that the priest was a very powerful position, usually responsible for memorials, divination, occasionally to plan the development of state affairs, and to go out with the army on foreign expeditions, which can be said to be a profession of full service, but the priest only needs to be responsible for the monarch, and no one is irresponsible on weekdays, and the degree of freedom is still very large.

Ding Cong arched his hand at Shaodian, and agreed.

Then there is the arrangement of accommodation, the announcement of the appointment of the officer, and so on, which of course is handled by someone of their own.

............

"Why do you want to take the position of priest?" Lao Li finally couldn't help but ask when only Ding Cong and Wei He were left in the room.

Ding Cong smiled and asked Wei He to go out to guard the door, before he whispered to Lao Li: "In a short time, a child will be born, and he is born with a fire appearance, and his perception of fire is extremely strong. What do you think?"

Lao Li frowned after hearing this, and there were white-gold flame balls floating on his fingertips, which were spinning non-stop, and then he said, "You mean to let me accept disciples?"

"Well, I think that kid is the most suitable for your exercises, if you don't want to teach it, it's okay, I'll come here. Alas, although I haven't practiced fire attribute exercises, I know a lot, and it shouldn't be too bad. Ding Cong said very unconfidently.

"Come less. Is it really an innate fire phase? Don't lie to me. ”

"Of course I won't lie to you, I should wait a few more years, first have the identity of a priest, and then I can avoid a lot of trouble when I accept disciples. ”

"Okay, I'll just wait and see. By the way, how do you know? Is soul power really so amazing?"

"It has nothing to do with soul power, it is written in the history books. ”

"History books, damn, who is the big man?"

"Let's talk about this when you meet him, I'm afraid you'll have snot bubbles when you say it now. ”

............

The Jiao clan lives in the northwest of Youxiong country, takes bees as a totem, and intermarries with Youxiong for a long time, and the two clans have a close relationship.

There is a Jiao family with a female name Deng, a surname, Ren's family, Shaodian married into the country of Xiong after five years of succession, and was the concubine of Shaodian.

Shaodian is very fond of Ren Ji, and in addition to her busy official duties, she always takes her to visit rivers and mountains.

In spring, the ginger water is cold, the afterglow of the sunset is reflected on the river, and in the rippling layers of golden waves, a pair of men and women swim on the shore, listening to the waves and watching the waves is very pleasant. At this time, Ren Ji was about to give birth, and after walking around for a long time, he felt tired, and he returned to the camp not long after.

That night, Ren Xi suddenly had a dream, the winding ginger water scales flickered, and suddenly, a red light shot out from the depths of the ginger water, straight up to the blue sky, Ren Xi looked up, a red body, black horns and black hair dragon swam in the air, his eyes emitted a blazing divine light, staring at her. The moment the eyes met, Ren Xi only felt her heart throbbing, as if she felt something, when she rubbed her eyes with her hand, and then looked at it, but saw that the twilight was gradually closing, and she was not alarmed. The sky is dark and gloomy, how can there be any dragons!

In the early morning of the second day, Shaodian still accompanied Ren Xi to eat and watch the scenery, and Ren Xi did not say anything about seeing the dragon in his dream.

In Ren Ji's opinion, this is nothing more than a dream, not a big deal.

More than a month, Ren Xi was in the pot, and the thunder and mountain fire outside the camp were raging, and with a cry, the heavy rain poured down.

Ren Ji gave birth to a baby boy with two horns.

Shaodian learned that the baby was born with two horns, and thought of the fire outside, and his heart was faintly uneasy. So he wanted to summon the priest Li Zi who accompanied him to come and inquire about the situation.

Who knows, when Lao Li saw the child, he was a little speechless and ignored Shaodian's call at all. In front of Ren Ji, he accepted the child as a disciple, and passed the word Shaodian that the child would follow him until he became an adult.

Shaodian listened to an inexplicable thing, he didn't understand what he was thinking at all, and thought that the birth of the child would bring some misfortune, so he asked to take the child until he became an adult.

The birth of the child was a happy event, but Shaodian became sad because of the pair of horns. I was afraid that the news would have a bad impact if it was sent back, so I decided to leave all the people I brought with me on the banks of the Jiangshui River, and I returned to Youxiong alone.

At this time, Lao Li was still immersed in joy, how could he ignore Shaodian, who behaved a little weirdly, and he left everyone behind, in Lao Li's opinion, he could be regarded as agreeing to his request.

As a result, one didn't say clearly, the other didn't ask, and each had their own thoughts, so they buried a flesh-and-blood struggle in the future.

............

After returning to Youxiong, Shaodian urgently summoned another priest to come to discuss without saying anything, but it was Wei He who came to reply. It turned out that Ding Cong left Youxiong shortly after Shaodian's trip, and it was said that he was going to investigate Jiuli's movements, and it was not explained when he would return it.

At this time, Shaodian completely lost his backbone, and he didn't dare to say why he came back alone, so after two years, Ding Cong still did not return.

In the past two years, everything has been peaceful, and nothing major has happened, and Shaodian is also a little relieved, and gradually put this matter down.

But the king of a country can't always be single, so Shaodian married the daughter of the Jiao clan with treasure.

Attached Bao gave birth to Xuanyuan after being pregnant, and this time it was Shaodian himself who saw the signs, so the strange state that appeared after Xuanyuan was born was also taken for granted by Shaodian.

Ding Cong didn't return to Youxiong until Xuanyuan was thirteen years old, and Shaodian at this time had long forgotten about his eldest son Jiang Shinian, if Ding Cong hadn't asked, I was afraid that Shaodian would never have remembered.

However, there are only two things that Shaodian can remember, one is that when the child is born, the first child has two horns. The other thing is that the priest Li Zi said that the child will follow her until he becomes an adult.

Ding Cong knew Lao Li's temper, and when he saw such a good heir, of course he had to hold it in his hands, and he would never give up until he practiced some achievements. So he didn't say anything more about this matter, but after carefully looking at Xuanyuan, he said to Shaodian: "This son has the power of the soil, and it will become a great thing in the future." ”

Shaodian himself thought so and was very happy, so he begged Ding Cong to be Xuanyuan's master and teach him.

Ding Cong was silent after hearing this, and Shaodian asked again and again before agreeing to teach Xuanyuan to learn art, but he resolutely refused to accept him as an apprentice. Shaodian felt that since he had promised to teach Xuanyuan, it didn't matter whether he worshipped the teacher or not, it was just a matter of prestige.

Since Xuanyuan learned art, Ding Cong has not hidden his secrets, but there is a big difference between what he learned and Wei He when teaching, after all, the ancestors of the world in the future cannot casually instill cross-era thinking, otherwise who knows what will become like in later generations?

On the first day of Xuanyuan's visit to Ding Cong, Ding Cong stretched out his right hand and took out an inconspicuous loess block out of thin air, let Xuanyuan put it in a leather bag and carry it with him every day, and took out various daily production tools as teaching tools, starting from the physical object to teach the people that it is not easy, how to improve their survival index, how to make them yearn for it, and so on.

So Ding Cong began a seven-year teaching life. Wei He sometimes studied with Xuanyuan, but he always felt that the homework taught by the master was different from what he had learned, mainly talking about the overall situation and the focus of the general trend of the world, and rarely talking about advanced spells and martial arts.

Although Wei He was strange, he didn't dare to say it in front of Xuanyuan, so he had to quietly ask the reason after Xuanyuan left one day.

Ding Cong patted Wei He's forehead and said, "He is the one who will be in charge of the world in the future, and he is not going to let him get the ascension to immortality, of course he learns differently from you." If you want to be in charge of the world, I can change the curriculum. You must know that the world and cultivation cannot be both. ”

Wei He smiled and stopped talking, but he knew very well in his heart that if he was really ambitious, I am afraid that the master would not teach him to practice.

The conversation between the master and apprentice was listened to by Xuanyuan, who returned to the house to get something, although he didn't say it, but he was a little unconvinced in his heart, can't the world and cultivation coexist?

Wei He didn't find out that Xuanyuan came back because the things he was carrying could perfectly cover his breath, but Ding Cong knew that Xuanyuan was coming and deliberately told him to listen.

............

Jiang Shinian left Lao Li for the first time in adulthood and returned to the tribe surnamed Jiang alone.

When I entered the door, I found my mother sitting under the window in a daze, her hair messy and her face haggard. Jiang Shinian was shocked and hurriedly asked what happened.

After Ren Ji saw her beloved son, tears kept welling up, and she couldn't cry and tell the story again.

At this point, Jiang Shinian realized that he was abandoned on the bank of the Jiangshui River, and his father did not come back once after returning to Youxiong, and he did not even send someone to inquire about the information.

A few of the people who stayed behind were bold enough to return to Youxiong, but they were all expelled and brought back some news about Youxiong. Among them, what Ren Ji cares about the most is that Shaodian plans to let Xuanyuan inherit the throne.

How deep is love, how deep is hate.

Ren Ji suffered for sixteen years after Shaodian, and Shaodian really didn't care about their mother and son, so when he heard the news of Shaodian and Xuanyuan, the heart that had been enduring for many years finally broke out. She was very clear about Lao Li's acceptance of Jiang Shinian as an apprentice in the room, and Shaodian's parting also left an impression on her on the side, and she would come to pick them up when the children were adults. But now that Shaodian has forgotten their existence, and wants to set up Xuanyuan to succeed him, how can he not let her go crazy.

So, Jiang Shinian, who was very solemn, said: "If you have a bear, you should be the monarch of the country with a bear." After saying this, he sent Jiang Shinian out to discuss the follow-up matters with the clan elders.

When Jiang Shinian returned to the house again, he found that his mother had hanged herself.
