Chapter 9 The thick ink picture after the rain

The ancestral land of the Xu family, Xihe Palace.

Xu Qanying walked into the main hall and put down Xu Disheng in his arms. The hall was still bright and brightly lit.

There were four old men sitting cross-legged in the hall. When they saw Xu Qanying coming in, they all opened their eyes and asked, "How are you, Great Elder?"

Xu Qinying said solemnly: "Fortunately, I was hiding in the dark to watch the ceremony. Before the pulse measuring platform could fully measure the results, I interrupted it and brought Sheng'er over."

Among the four elders, the second elder, who was the oldest, couldn't hold his breath and asked, "What is this son's Taoist lineage?"

Xu Qanying shook his head and did not answer, but looked down at Xu Disheng: "Do you know what level of Taoism you are in?"

Xu Disheng was carried all the way by the eldest elder, but he did not have the usual panic of a five-year-old child. His dark eyes were calm. After hearing this, he stretched out his hand to straighten some wrinkled clothes, and then said: "Sheng'er I don't know."

Xu Qanying nodded slightly and said to the second elder: "I observed that the pulse platform first declined and then rose. If the aperture spreads completely, it will be at least a third-grade Dao pulse! That's why I hurriedly intervened, but Guo Renhou and Bai Jiabai of the Guo family Fan Yu has some discernment, so these details should not be hidden from them at all. When he returns, the Guo family will probably report it to Youyang City, the capital of Youzhou."

Shangqing Dao was the state religion of the Chu court. Each of the eleven states of Da Chu had a Shangqing Dao government to supervise the world!

Its power even goes beyond Zhizhou. Youzhou Zhizhou is the crown prince of Prince Xing, who controls the nineteen counties of Youzhou covering tens of thousands of miles. According to folk rumors, the people of Youzhou Daofu are on an equal footing with Prince Xing, and even slightly more powerful. beyond.

It's just that the leader of the Taoist government has re-cultivated mysteries and doesn't pay much attention to worldly things.

"Third-grade Taoism! How could such a genius appear in our Xu family!" The second elder stood up suddenly, looking excited.

"My ancestor of the Xu family, with half a step of innate strength, was a personal guard under Zhizhou at that time, and was granted a territory. But the ancestor's qualifications are only the fourth-grade Dao lineage!" The third elder, also known as the shadow elder, showed his face. He looked happy and then spoke.

The remaining two elders also looked surprised.

"I don't know if this matter is a blessing or a curse." Xu Qanying was not so optimistic. He raised his hand to ask several elders to sit down and said in a deep voice: "The third-grade Taoism, even in the entire nineteen counties of Youzhou, is almost It has never appeared! At most, it is only a fourth-grade Taoism, but a fourth-grade Taoism is already a genius, making extraordinary breakthroughs, and becoming an innate warrior is almost a foregone conclusion!"

A person walked out of the hall, it was Xu Chaoyang, the head of the Xu family.

After seeing off the guests, he quickly walked back and forth to the Xihe Palace. When he entered the palace, he saw all five elders there. He cupped his fists and saluted: "I've seen the great elder, I've seen the elders of the Presbyterian Council."

All the elders are slightly

Nod slightly.

Although Xu Qanying is the father of Xu Chaoyang, the authority of the Great Elder of the Presbyterian Church is unquestionable within the Xu family, and he is called the Great Elder in front of outsiders.

Xu Qanying raised his hand and said: "Chaoyang, no courtesy. In your opinion, how should this matter be done?"

Xu Chaoyang looked at the octagonal Taoist platform where he usually meditated. It was now occupied by Xu Qinying cross-legged. He did not dare to say anything. His eyelids twitched slightly and said: "Elder, in my opinion, Sheng'er may be a third-level Taoist." Pulse! I once read in an ancient book that only when the third-grade Dao pulse is reached, the pulse measuring platform will first shrink and then expand, and the white light will skyrocket!"

Upper Third Grade Dao Veins refers to Third Grade Dao Veins, Second Grade Dao Veins, and the legendary First Grade Dao Veins, collectively referred to as Upper Third Grade Dao Veins.

"Well, my Xu family has three acquired peak warriors. Today, Xu Qingcheng, a fifth-grade Taoist, and Sheng'er, who is suspected to be a third-grade Taoist with an innate companion, are born. This generation of our Xu family will be prosperous!" Xu Qanying was also a little excited, "However, the emergence of the third-grade Taoism is no longer something we can decide. You quickly arrange your manpower and rush to Youyang City in Youzhou at starry night. Under the residence of Prince Xiangxing, there is also the Shangqing Taoist Mansion. Elaborate! Don't let the Guo family report it for us first, so as not to be passive. As for the matter of innate companionship... we will keep it secret for now."

"Yes, Great Elder." Xu Chaoyang suppressed his excitement and said outside the hall: "Here comes someone!"

A soldier from the Zhenhai Prefecture Army came in outside the palace gate. Xu Chaoyang lowered his head and gave orders, not to mention it for now.

"Grandpa, what kind of force is Shangqing Dao? Why has Sheng'er never heard of it in the past five years?"

Xu Disheng suddenly spoke, his voice was clear and his eyes were bright.

He rarely communicated with others, so that the entire Xu family thought he was a strange child.

Only the Presbyterians knew that he had an innate concomitant that made him different from other people.

At this moment, he suddenly asked a question, but he hit the nail on the head.

The five elders in the palace and Xu Chaoyang all looked at him. They had always regarded him as a child. Xu Disheng never spoke much, so no one asked him what he thought.

When I heard him asking questions at this moment, I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Shangqing Dao..." Xu Qanying said with a hint of respect on his face, "Do you know Prince Xing?"

"We know that Prince Xing is the eldest son of Prince Xing, one of the three kings of the Great Chu Dynasty. He is the crown prince and the crown prince. He is also the governor of Youzhou and takes charge of the nineteen counties of Youzhou covering tens of thousands of miles."

"Yes, Prince Xing's crown prince also has another identity, that is, a disciple of the Shangqing Dao Palace in Youzhou. Without this identity, even the crown prince cannot gain the power to rule a state."

"Could it be that the Shangqing Dao could interfere with the Chu court?"

"Ha!" Xu Qinying sneered, "Intervention? In name, it is to supervise the world, but have you ever heard of the three words Shangqing Dao?"

"First Elder, you talk too much." The second elder interrupted softly, "Xu Disheng, you are the most talented person of this generation of our Xu family. The Council of Elders has decided that from now on the family resources will be fully tilted towards you. , in addition to the Xu family's "Tiangang Martial Arts", the Xu family also has two secret martial arts, which were given by the imperial court and can only be practiced by fifth-grade Taoist lineages and above. You can also choose one of the secret martial arts to be practiced by others. And each Various combat skills, all at your choice!"

Xu Disheng saluted and thanked: "Thank you elders, thank you Grandpa Zu."

The latter sentence was addressed to Xu Qanying.

What he said was very clever. If it were anyone else, he could only call him the Great Elder, but Xu Disheng happened to be the direct great-grandson of Xu Qinying. If he was called grandpa, no one would be able to say anything.

"Okay! My Xu family will definitely be prosperous if we have this son!" Xu Qanying said with a hearty smile.

He and several elders were almost trapped at the peak of the acquired world, and even his legitimate son Xu Chaoyang caught up with him, and he was also at the peak of the acquired world.

Innate and innate, once you enter innate, you become extraordinary, and you can leave this small area and take charge of a county!

The Xu family may seem like a prosperous family, with hundreds of miles of land and self-governance. However, despite hundreds of years of inheritance and hereditary succession, they have never produced an innate warrior!

There are countless peak warriors the day after tomorrow. It sounds like one of the four major families in Ruyang County, but if you look at Youzhou, they are just a small family in the countryside.

Ruyang County, Ruyang Fucheng, Guo Family.

In the luxurious study room, agarwood was lingering, and a middle-aged man in black clothes was waving his hand and painting.

The middle-aged man looked extremely serious and solemn, but suddenly he heard a commotion outside the door and frowned.

"Master Deacon, you also know that no one is allowed to disturb Master Zhijun when he is painting. Please, Master Deacon, please stop embarrassing your subordinates."

"I have something important to tell you." Guo Renhou said solemnly.

"Let him come in." A middle-aged man's voice came from the study.

"yes."

Guo Renhou closed the study door, looked back and saluted, "I've met the master of the house."

"No gift, why are you so anxious? Didn't you take people to the Xu family to observe the ceremony? As usual in previous years, there will be a banquet for a few days after the pulse measurement ceremony. Why is it in such a hurry this time?" The middle-aged man did not stop painting in his hand.

"Family head, the Xu family has a fifth-grade Taoist named Xu Qingcheng!"

With a pause of the brush, a big ink spot suddenly appeared on this picture of pines after rain, completely destroying the atmosphere of the entire painting.
