Chapter 10 Two Secret Biographies

"Fifth grade Dao vein? Is it true?"

The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged, but the huge ink dots on the painting showed that his mood was not as calm as it appeared.

"It's true." Guo Renhou raised his head slightly and carefully observed the middle-aged man's face.

"Huh? What else?"

The middle-aged man noticed Guo Renhou's small movements, put away the drawing paper, rolled it up, and placed it in the paper basket under the table.

"The Xu family... there is another suspected third-grade Dao pulse! The subordinates dare not be sure, but the pulse measuring platform first suppressed and then rose. When it was about to spread, it was interrupted by Xu Qinying, the eldest elder of the Xu family!" Guo Renhou bit. He gritted his teeth and said it in one breath.

boom!

The middle-aged man could no longer keep his expression calm and slapped the brush on the desk with one hand!

Guo Renhou hurriedly knelt on the ground. The guards outside the door were also solemn. They looked at their noses and hearts and turned a deaf ear to the movements in the study.

"The pulse measuring stone platform first lowers and then rises, it must be a third-grade Dao vein! How is this possible! In this barren land of Youzhou, even fourth-grade Dao veins are extremely rare, and our Ruyang County is located in the corner of Youzhou. How can a proud man of the third rank of heaven appear when his luck is weak and trapped in a corner?" This furious middle-aged man is none other than Guo Ruping, the head of the Guo family.

Guo Renhou didn't dare to answer, he just half-knelt on the ground and lowered his head.

Guo Ruping's face was gloomy and he ordered: "My Guo family is in charge of a county. If there is a proud son of heaven, you need to report it immediately. This is an iron rule! You immediately take people to Youzhou Fucheng in person and report it to the prince's residence. I will go directly to you now The ancestral land of Yangfu, report to the ancestors of Ming Dynasty!"

"Follow the master's orders!"

Even counting the Guo family in Ruyang Zhijun, the strength of the four major families in Ruyang County is not very different. None of them have innate warriors, and only the ancestor of the Guo family is suspected of being half-step innate realm.

Ruyang County is also a barren corner of Youzhou. There are few fights on weekdays. After so many years, several large families have lived in peace and have nothing to fight for. They have all stayed here and thrived.

This time Xu Disheng, who is suspected to have a third-grade Taoist lineage, appeared in the Xu family, and the whole county was shocked!

Although Xu Qanying interrupted the pulse test at the last moment, people's words could not be stopped, and there were many smart people. Gradually, the hearts of these aristocratic families began to change, and the entire Ruyang County was undercurrent.

Of course, this is only limited to the upper-class families. The common people at the lower-class will not talk much. At most, they will witness the terrifying power of the eldest elder of the Xu family who transformed into a phantom hand as a boast after dinner.

At this moment, Jin Yu was talking to a group of Jin's family members in Tingyu Pavilion. Jin Qingzhao's wife, the Qing family, and Jin Qingdi's wife, the Xu family, were all talking.

in it.

In addition to these ladies, there is also a little girl in a red dress, who is standing in the Tingyu Pavilion at the moment. It is Jin Yu'er.

She did not go back to the Jin family with her father Jin Qingdi, but came with the Xu family to visit this aunt. The Jin family married into many aristocratic families, and although Jin Yu was her closest aunt, she had never been close to her.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "Sister Yu, it has been five years since you got married and gave birth to Sheng'er. I was not able to come here even when Yan'er was born. This time I brought some small gifts to Yan'er."

Behind him, a servant came in carrying two boxes. Mrs. Xu nodded slightly, then the servant put down the boxes and retreated.

"Second sister-in-law, why do you need to be so open-minded?" Jin Yu hugged Xu Yan and smiled.

Qingshi also presented a gift, and the three of them exchanged a few polite words and sat down separately.

"Is this Yu'er? I've heard about it a long time ago. The most famous little girl of the Jin family is indeed one of the most beautiful and beautiful girls in the world."

When Jin Yu saw Jin Yu'er behind Xu, he did not hesitate to express his praises.

"Thank you, aunt." Jin Yu'er was dressed in a red dress, her eyes were moving, she heard the words and bent down to salute, but she was very sensible.

Although she is a girl, she has no stage fright. She is elegant and generous in front of her elders, which makes her very popular.

"This time, because of Sheng'er, I couldn't let Yu'er take the pulse. I ask my second sister-in-law for your understanding." Jin Yu said apologetically to Mrs. Xu.

"It's okay. The Jin family's pulse test will be next year, but this girl can't be bored at home, so I brought her here this time." Xu and Qing looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"This little girl is so cute, aunt, can I hug her?" Jin Yu'er looked at Xu Yan in Jin Yu's arms and said.

"Can."

"So handsome, he will become a beauty when he grows up," Jin Yu'er hugged Xu Yan, looked into her big black eyes, and said to herself in an old-fashioned way.

Several women looked at each other and smiled when they heard this. Qing said with a smile: "You are only eight or nine years old and you say that others are beautiful women. Then who are you?"

Jin Yu'er said casually, but was a little lost in thought. Looking at the very similar faces of Xu Yan and Xu Disheng, she murmured: "She looks so much like her brother."

"What?" Her voice was too soft and few people could hear her clearly.

Jin Yu'er came back to her senses, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she said: "No...it's nothing."

After saying this, I peeked at the faces of several people and saw that they had indeed not heard anything, so I felt relieved.

Jin Yu'er was thinking of a little girl. She just saw how good-looking Xu Disheng was. After meeting him once, she completely remembered him.

Not to mention Tingyu Pavilion

While gossiping, Xu Disheng was choosing martial arts in the inner hall of the Xihe Palace, the ancestral home of the Xu family.

"Sheng'er, do you know what martial arts is?" There were only two people in the hall, Xu Qinying and Xu Disheng. Xu Qinying put his hands behind his back and asked.

"As far as Sheng'er knows, martial arts are the foundation that determines the strength of acquired warriors. Only families have various martial arts. And martial arts are the foundation of martial arts training. The higher the level of martial arts training, the more powerful the human body can be. Powerful power. Once you practice to a high level, you can have some extraordinary power, just like the phantom hand transformed by Grandpa, which ordinary warriors cannot achieve. "

"Yes." Xu Qinying nodded slightly, "Since ancient times, the Great Chu Dynasty has governed eleven states in the world. It has lasted for thousands of years. The world has strict hierarchies and strata."

"The imperial court divided the world and issued various martial arts for the enfeoffed families to practice and manage the fiefdom. Every family, no matter how big or small, has secret and common martial arts given by the imperial court. Although the common martial arts of each family have different names, But they’re pretty much the same.”

"For example, my Xu family's ordinary martial art "Tiangang Martial Arts" has the power of an elephant on each level, while the Bai family's ordinary martial arts "Manniu Martial Arts" has the power of a rhinoceros on each level, which is not too big. difference."

"Sheng'er knows, but what is this secret martial art and why has it never been mentioned before?"

"Because the secret martial arts is extremely difficult to practice, even though the imperial court gave it to them, few people in the entire Youzhou can successfully practice it, let alone Ruyang County, which is located in the corner of Youzhou. And the qualification requirements are extremely strict, at least five You have to cultivate the Dao Meridian of the first grade. In the entire Ruyang County, including your Grandpa Chaoyang, there are only three fifth-grade Dao Meridians in total, let alone cultivating them, so no one ever mentions them."

After Xu Qinying finished speaking, he took out two ancient scrolls from the secret room of the inner hall, and continued: "These two chapters are one of "Shangqing Qi" and one of "Returning to Yuan Qi"."

"Angry?" Xu Disheng's eyes moved, waiting for Xu Qinying's next words.

"Yes, although it is called a secret martial art, from my point of view, it is like a method of nourishing Qi. Only the fifth grade of Taoism can successfully practice it. The ancestor of the Ruyang Guo family has been retired for decades. , counting his age, he is one hundred and twenty. Everyone said that he was dead, but I know that he is still alive, and has reached the half-step innate state, only one step away from transcendence. One hundred and twenty without dying, Among them is the contribution of "Returning to Vitality"."

"Then he also has a fifth-grade Taoism?"

"Of course, it is impossible to cultivate Qi sense below the level of fifth-grade Taoism. The reason why there are only three well-known fifth-grade Taoisms in Ruyang County now is because he has been retired for decades, so naturally he cannot be counted among them. You Although Grandpa Chaoyang has a fifth-level talent, he has been unable to pass on the secret knowledge through hard training, which is a pity."
