Chapter 096: The Elder of the Song Family (Text)
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was silence all around.
Zhao Sidong hid in a big tree hugged by several people, placed his body in a leafy place, and quietly looked at the village courtyard under the hillside not far away.
Although the light is weak and the visibility is extremely low, with his innate cultivation, Zhao Sidong can achieve the level of whiteness, although the surrounding darkness does not affect his observation.
The area of the village is very large, covering an area of hundreds of acres, which is equivalent to the scope of a medium-sized residential area.
The entire village is built in the style of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and although it can be clearly seen that it has been renovated in modern times, on the whole, the village has existed for at least seven or eight hundred years.
With such a large courtyard, it is said that there should be many people who take care of the home, but no matter how Zhao Sidong observes, he only sees about 20 men who look like nursing homes, scattered around the courtyard to inspect back and forth.
"It seems that the strength of the Song family is really not to be underestimated. Zhao Sidong muttered, he found that none of the twenty or so nursing homes were mediocre, and Yishui'er's acquired sixth-level cultivation was just a powerful combat force just for them combined. If you don't take into account the weapons and only fight with your bare hands, these people are enough to beat all the special forces in the country down!
The martial artist of the Sixfold Day After Tomorrow uses it to look at the home nursing home, what a stroke this must be!.

Zhao Sidong didn't dare to use his divine sense to easily scan the Song family's village, because he couldn't be sure if there would be an existence with the same divine sense inside. Normally, those who possess divine consciousness are cultivators above the foundation building period, and the fact that they can use their divine consciousness before the foundation is built is all due to the blessings of their previous life experience.
Therefore, once there is really an existence with divine consciousness in the courtyard, then he has only one way to escape.
It was not easy to find the location of the Songjiazhuang Courtyard, how could I find everything and startle the snake, wouldn't it be a trip in vain, and this hard work in vain?
Looking at the time, it was half past two in the morning, he decided to wait a little longer, wait until after three o'clock in the morning, and then sneak into the courtyard and explore it up close, if he can find Li Qingsong's mother, this trip will not be in vain.
In the process of waiting, Zhao Sidong didn't intend to waste time in vain, he sat among the branches of the tree and carried the "Nine Heavens Xuanmiao Daluo Heavenly Scripture" to breathe, and he wanted to dive in the best state.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon more than half an hour had passed.
Zhao Sidong estimated that the time was almost up, so he slipped down the trunk of the tree lightly, and then unfolded his body, walked through the shadows everywhere, and quietly approached a corner of the village.
Since it is a sneak-in, it is impossible to go through the door, regardless of whether it is the front door, the side door or the back door. Therefore, after careful observation, he set the location of the infiltration at the northwest corner of the courtyard, where there was a small pond across the courtyard wall, and a few residual lotus plants could be vaguely seen floating on the water.
Zhao Sidong has absolute confidence in his own body, and he can borrow from the residual loads on the water surface and jump to the shore of the pond without making a sound.
As he expected, the infiltration went very smoothly, and without alarming anyone, he quietly entered the village, and according to the route he had observed outside, he carefully avoided several mobile sentry posts along the way, and successfully approached the denser residential area in the north of the village.
He came here tonight for two purposes, one was to see if Mu could find the whereabouts of Li Qingsong's mother, and the other was to find out who the mysterious old man of the Song family that Li Qingsong and Zhang Yu had mentioned was.
Hiding in the shadow of a clump of holly trees, Zhao Sidong collected the breath of his whole body, and watched a team of patrolling guards walk in front of him, and when they were far away, he turned his waist and jumped to the side, silently re-emerging into another shadow.
Although he didn't dare to use his divine sense easily, with his super eyesight and hearing, it was relatively easy to judge the situation around him.
This residential area is clearly more heavily guarded than the others, with three fixed posts and three mobile guards patrolling the area.
Therefore, Zhao Sidong judged that if nothing else, this should be the place where the families of those supernatural people are under house arrest!
Especially when he got closer, he could faintly hear the low sobs of women in two of the rooms, which convinced him even more of his suspicions.
However, now I have only found an approximate location, and I don't know which house Li Qingsong's mother lives in.
Just as he was about to get closer and investigate carefully, a warning sign suddenly rose in his heart, and he subconsciously turned his head to look back, and suddenly a layer of cold sweat broke out in his heart!
At some point, an old man with a white beard appeared far behind him, looking at him curiously!
Zhao Sidong's surprise in his heart is not trivial, he came to investigate secretly tonight, if someone calls him to break the hide, although he is not afraid that he will not be able to get out, but it is always a troublesome thing. And once the Song family is alert, it will be even more difficult to rescue Li Qingsong's mother in the future!
Thinking of this, he raised his right hand in a hurry, put his index finger in front of his mouth and made a quiet gesture, then beckoned to the old man, unfolded his body and flew back in the direction he had come.
Zhao Sidong noticed that the mysterious old man didn't seem to move at all, but he always kept a distance from himself, which meant that the other party's strength was indeed far above him.
Although he didn't need to be afraid of any enemies with the few self-defense weapons he carried, he didn't want to expose his hole cards too early. What's more, this time he visited the Songjiazhuang Courtyard at night, he not only wore a night clothes, but also made a mask of Monkey King and put it on his face, as long as the mask was not broken, he would not be seen clearly.
At this time, he was extremely glad that he had changed his body shape before he came, otherwise, if this mysterious old man saw him in the future, he might think of tonight's events.
All the way out of the courtyard wall of the village, Zhao Sidong looked back, the old man was still unhurriedly following behind him, so he beckoned again, signaled the other party to follow, and then turned around and ran towards the hillside not far away.
It wasn't until he came to the hillside that he stopped his steps, turned around to look at the old man, deliberately changed his voice, pretended to be a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, and said, "What is this senior's name?"
The old man smiled slightly, and stood with his hands in his hands, "Your doll touched the old man's courtyard in the middle of the night, but you still asked the old man what to call him?"
Zhao Sidong spread his hands and said: "Don't get me wrong, senior, I'm just out of curiosity, I want to see what is special about Guizhuang Academy, which can make my junior brother never forget, as for Guizhuang Academy, I haven't understood it." ”
The old man looked at him with blazing eyes, and said noncommittally: "Oh? yes, then have you seen what is special about the old man's courtyard?"
Zhao Sidong was not surprised by this obviously school examination problem, and replied with his mouth: "I only see that Guizhuang Courtyard seems to be built according to the trend of Tai Chi Bagua, and the entire Zhuang Courtyard seems to be arranged into a peculiar formation. ”
The old man raised his snow-white eyebrows and smiled: "You doll is so bold, you know that the old man has a position in this courtyard, but you still dare to trespass?"
"Of course not. Zhao Sidong shook his head and said: "I only understand a small part of the content of the formation, so I only dare to take it away from the north of the Zhuangyuan, if it is in other directions, I don't dare to try it easily." ”
Of course, these words are coaxing people, even if it is the other directions of the Zhuang Courtyard, he dares to follow it, but he is unwilling to reveal that he knows the opponent's formation.
The old man stared at him for a while, and then nodded slowly: "Hmm, you are cautious and didn't break in, otherwise, once the formation is activated, even if you have stepped into the innate formation, you will die in the old man's True Martial Seven Interception Array!"
"The True Martial Seven Interception Great Array?" Zhao Sidong pretended to tilt his head and think for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Is there a source for this array?"
The old man nodded, "That's natural! This array was handed down hundreds of years ago by my ancestor of the Song family under the guidance of his teacher Zhang Zhenren. ”
"Zhang Zhenren?" Zhao Sidong was a little surprised in his heart, he knew that ancient Taoists and Taoists called those who cultivated the true Tao (become immortals), those who had insight into the origin of life in the universe, and those who truly awakened and enlightened themselves as real people. It is known as a 'real person', which means that the teacher of the ancestors of the Song family must be of the Taoist lineage.
In the history of China, there seem to be few people who can be called Zhang Zhenren.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang's descendant Zhang Daoling was the first Zhang Zhenren to be called this title. However, it was a long time ago, hundreds of years ago, more than 2,000 years ago. Therefore, the Zhang Zhenren that the old man refers to must not be him, as for whether it is his descendants, those descendants of the Zhang family who will be passed down to this day are unknown.
In addition, there is another Zhang Zhenren who is also famous.
That is Zhang Junbao, the son of Yuan Yuan at the end of the Song Dynasty, that is, Zhang Sanfeng, who single-handedly founded the Wudang School and passed down the Tai Chi family boxing skills, and Zhang Zhenren, a peerless genius who entered the Tao with martial arts!
Thinking of Zhang Sanfeng, Zhao Sidong's heart suddenly moved, it seemed that Zhang Sanfeng had a big disciple surnamed Song Lai, what did he call Song Yuanqiao?
At this time, I heard the old man say lightly: "What the old man said is Zhang Sanfeng Zhang Zhenren, who single-handedly founded the Wudang faction hundreds of years ago, and this Zhenwu Seven Interception Array is the ancestor Song Gongyuan Bridge passed on to the old man by his old man, and the ancestor of Yuanqiao left Wudang Mountain in his later years and came here to live in seclusion, so he hid the formation of this Zhenwu Seven Interception Formation into the Zhuangyuan. ”
Zhao Sidong sighed when he heard this: "It turned out to be Mr. Song of the Wudang lineage, disrespectful and disrespectful! In this way, the predecessor should be surnamed Song, senior Song, I don't know if you can tell me, how important are you now?"
The old man stroked his beard and laughed, and only after a while did he smile faintly: "How heavy is the congenital doll, don't think that innate is the limit of martial arts, otherwise, how can the old man live from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty to the present?"
"What, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty?" Zhao Sidong was a little surprised, if what he said was true, wouldn't he have lived for more than three hundred years?
In the mortal world, ordinary lifespan is only 100 years, the acquired Great Perfection can live to be around 150 years old, the congenital Great Perfection can live to be about 200 years old, and if it is more than 300 years old, then there is only one possibility - this person's cultivation is already in the foundation building period or even higher!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat a little.
The acquired realm can despise ordinary people, the innate realm can despise the acquired realm, and the foundation building period can despise the innate realm.
Not to mention that he is only innate with strength now, even if it is an innate Great Perfection, in the eyes of the cultivators of the foundation building period, he is also an ant-like existence!
Of course, with several magic weapons, his comprehensive strength is completely unafraid of this old man Song who has lived for three hundred years, if he really wants to fight, even if he can't win, he can escape.
However, Zhao Sidong didn't plan to fight to the death with the other party, but it was better to find a way to gain the trust of the other party and see if he could figure out why the Song family was working hard to cultivate the ability in secret?
