Chapter 66: Ancestor of the Shen Family
On the second day of Tianlong Academy's holiday, seven or eight Tianlong Academy student children, including Shen Feiyun, Shen Binghong, and Shen Jiayun, returned to the Shen family mansion in Chaoge City, which immediately caused a joyous and busy family.
As the most talented children in the direct lineage, Shen Binghong and Shen Jiayun have always been highly regarded by the family. Especially Shen Binghong has been very smart since she was a child, and is very popular with her ancestor Shen Beichen. After all, Shen Beichen is Shen Binghong's daughter. Great grandfather.
In the study room, Shen Binghong and Shen Jiayun were chatting with the old man Shen Beichen. The old man listened to them talking about all kinds of interesting things in the college, and laughed for a while from time to time, which made him very happy.
After a while, Shen Binghong said to Shen Jiayun: "Brother, I want to talk to Grandpa alone. You are not allowed to listen. Go and play with your Ninth Brother."
Shen Jiayun grunted, but had no choice but to get up and walk out. Before closing the door, he stuck out his tongue and made a face at Shen Binghong.
"You baby," Old Master Shen chuckled, "Why is this so mysterious? Do you have someone you like and want to tell Grandpa?"
"Grandpa!" Shen Binghong said angrily, "If you want to do this, I will ignore you!" But she blushed.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong!" The old man stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "Don't ignore me, otherwise the old man will be sad!" He shrugged and pretended to wipe his tears with his sleeves.
"Humph! The old man with a beard is still crying. Even if you cry, I won't buy you any candy!" Shen Binghong smiled sweetly. While talking, she took out a wine gourd and a wine glass, poured a glass for the old man and handed it over, "But The elderly don’t eat sweets, but it’s okay to drink some wine.”
"What is this?" The old man took the wine glass and asked doubtfully.
Shen Binghong said nothing and made a gesture of drinking.
Shen Beichen took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Then he took another sip, shaking his head slightly to taste it. He drank the last sip of the wine in the glass and said with a satisfied smile: "You little girl, where did you get this good wine?" ?”
"Does it taste good?" Shen Binghong chuckled, "This is brewed by a senior fellow in our college. It's called Shantao Brewing. I couldn't bear to drink it, so I brought it to honor you. Do you like it?" He poured another glass. To the old man.
"Okay," Shen Beichen laughed. "The old man likes it. He likes the wine, and he also likes the little baby's filial piety. What do you want? The old man is not stingy."
"Grandpa, from what you said, it seems like I'm giving you wine in exchange for my treasure." Shen Binghong pouted.
"Oh!" Shen Beichen saw that Shen Binghong didn't seem to be pretending, and immediately said with a smile, "The old man said the wrong thing again, and he wronged the little kid, um... How about a drink as a penalty." He said. He drank the wine in one gulp.
"You are cunning!" Shen Binghong covered her mouth and smiled. Then he gave the old man another drink and said, "Grandpa, I want to ask you something. I remember you once said that there can't be a person with all the attributes and Qi in this world, right?"
"Yes," Shen Beichen said, "But that's for now. There was it before. Our family had it before. Grandpa Xuanguang and Grandpa Songzhu were both yin and yang. This is an undoubted fact."
"Well," Shen Binghong said, "I have also heard that there used to be great monks in the royal family who were capable of both wind and thunder. But why did they exist before but not now? Master, can you tell me about it?"
"Well! I just want to know the reason!" Shen Beichen said with a smile, "But I have studied this matter carefully. Since the beginning of written records for more than 10,000 years, there have been three stages of this kind of occurrence. A monk with full Zhenqi, but each stage lasts only a short time. The most recent time was probably 1,600 years ago, and in that generation there were at least ten characters with full Zhenqi in thirty or forty years. I am telling the truth. Having complete Qi does not mean that all nine types of Qi are present, there has never been such a person."
"Yes, I know," Shen Binghong said, "To have all the true qi means to have all the five elements of true qi, all the yin and yang true qi, or all the wind and thunder true qi, right?"
"Yes," Shen Beichen nodded. "In that generation, there were Jiang Tianlong and Jiang Tiankui who had both wind and thunder qi. It was they who founded the Jiang family's Tianlong Dynasty today, and our ancestor Songzhu Taiye, who had both yin and yang qi. Grandpa Hongling of the Duan family, Xiang Qubing, the ancestor of the Xiang family who possesses all five elements of true energy, Zeng Bufan, the lone immortal, and others. Most of today's distribution of power in the Tianlong Continent was created by their generation of geniuses. Only a thousand years later , these characters have disappeared one after another. And since them, no one can have all the attributes and Qi, whether it is yin and yang, wind and thunder, or five elements, there is no one."
"Why are there no more after their generation?" Shen Binghong asked, "Grandpa, don't you know?"
"No one knows why," Shen Beichen shook his head and said, "Just like no one knows why such a group of talented geniuses appeared in those thirty or forty years."
"What about these geniuses?" Shen Binghong asked, "Have they all become immortals and ascended?"
"I don't know," Shen Beichen said. About six hundred years ago, there was no news about them one after another. No one knew what happened to them, and the same was true for our Grandfather Songzhu. By the way, why are you asking this? "
"I was thinking..." Shen Binghong said hesitantly, "Will there be someone with full Qi now?"
"Huh?" Shen Beichen put down his wine glass, looked at Shen Binghong attentively and said, "What do you want to say?" He knew that Shen Binghong's intelligence was something that few people could match, and there must be a reason why she said that.
"That's it, Grandpa," Shen Binghong gathered her thoughts and said, "I found a person who is a third-level alchemist. This means that he has at least two attributes of fire and wood, right?"
"Yes," Shen Beichen said, "What else?"
"He later passed the Level 4 Array Master exam," Shen Binghong said, "What does this mean?"
"It means that he at least still has earth attribute Qi." Shen Beichen said.
"But he still likes Qi Dao and often goes to attend classes at Qi Dao Academy."
"Do you just like it? Do you have any experience as a weapon master?"
"That's not true, but think about it, if he doesn't have the talent to practice the art of weapons, and he's not stupid, why would he do all that useless work?"
"You mean he still has metallic Qi?"
"I guess probably so."
"That means this person can definitely have the three attributes of fire, wood and earth, and probably also has metal energy?"
"Yes, I'm basically sure."
"What about the water attribute Qi? Where did you see it?"
"He seems to be able to use water to arrange magic circles."
"Are you sure?" Shen Beichen sat up straight without realizing it.
"No," Shen Binghong frowned, "I have just started to practice formations, so I am not sure. But I am not completely guessing. I really think that his shielding formation was set up using the water of Dalu Lake. .”
"Well," Shen Beichen thought for a while and said, "I think the possibility is still too small. It has been more than a thousand years, how could it be possible?" He shook his head.
"Actually, I think it's unlikely," Shen Binghong said, "But Grandpa, I really feel this way. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you."
"Haha, wouldn't it be nice to talk to Grandpa," Shen Beichen relaxed a little, "It seems like this person has at least three types of five element attributes of Qi, and most likely four. This talent is already ridiculously high. If you really have all the five elements... By the way, who is this person you are talking about?"
"Bluestone." Shen Binghong said softly.
"Bluestone? Is this the bluestone that saved Xiaoyu?"
"Yes!" Shen Binghong said.
"Well..." Shen Beichen frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "If there is anything special about him, please tell me carefully."
"This wine is made from bluestone," Shen Binghong said with a smile, "He can also cook. I have never tasted such delicious food. The wine he made is made by Brother Feiyun and Duan Qi." I also said that I have never had such a good wine! Grandpa, do you think this wine is really that good?"
"It's true!" Shen Beichen smiled and said, "I don't like drinking very much, but I really think this wine is better than what I have drunk before. By the way, Feiyun brought me some wine last year, and this wine It’s different, much stronger, I don’t like it that much, but it’s still good.”
"That's also brewed by Brother Qingshi!" Shen Binghong covered her mouth and smiled, "That one is called Yixianhuo, and this one is called Shantao Brewing."
"Really?" Shen Beichen asked curiously, "This kid is quite interesting. Let's talk about anything else interesting!"
"Well," Shen Binghong said with a smile, "There is another thing that is not trivial. I heard from Master that Dean Ou of the college was poisoned last year. Everyone in the hospital was helpless. It seemed that Mr. Ou was about to die. Well, it was Brother Qingshi who rescued him in the end."
More than a month ago, Shen Binghong became Liu Changqing's teacher.
"What?" Shen Beichen asked in shock, "Qingshi saved Ou Changzhi from being poisoned? Wasn't it Jin Yiming?" Shen Beichen naturally knew about such a big event, but he didn't know the real situation and details.
"Yes, Master said it," Shen Binghong said, "There is no doubt that Elder Ou was cured by Qingshi. But the specific details of the treatment are probably only known to Dean Mo and Dean Jin."
Shen Beichen finally suppressed his smile and became serious. Next, he asked Shen Binghong to tell in detail everything he knew about Qingshi in the past two years. After listening to this, Shen Beichen pondered for a long time, and then said to Shen Binghong: "Feiyun is back too, go and get him, alone."
Soon, Shen Feiyun appeared in Shen Beichen's study.
After Shen Beichen bowed to him, he opened his mouth and said, "I asked you to pay attention to the outstanding talents in the college. Can you tell me, who are the newcomers in your college who are worthy of attention in the past two years?"
Shen Feiyun thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Teng Shouqian, Yuan Renfeng, Li Zhuchen, Wu Qinghan from the Martial Arts Academy, Tang Zui from the Formation Academy, Qingshi and Minghui from the Dan Academy, and of course Xiaoyu, the 19th sister of the Duan family, and our family Bing rainbow. "
"Hmm~" Shen Beichen said expressionlessly, "Tell me about the bluestone, please evaluate it."
Shen Feiyun said: "With extraordinary talent, chivalrous bones and soft heart, he values righteousness over profit, he will definitely become a great weapon."
"Oh?" Shen Beichen said, "The evaluation is not low. It is extraordinary that you value me so much. Please tell me in detail."
"Qingshi is currently a third-level alchemist and a fourth-level formation mage. He has the three attributes of earth, fire, and wood. He can be called a gifted person." Shen Feiyun said, "He was able to save Xiaoyu at the risk of his life for such a chance encounter. The little girl has a chivalrous style; I heard from Duan Laoqi that Qingshi does not easily hurt people's lives, does not kill ordinary people when fighting enemies, and does not even hurt spiritual beasts easily. This shows his kind side, so I said He is a chivalrous man with a soft heart. He takes money and even cultivation resources very lightly. In this regard, both Duan Laoqi and Xiaoyu strongly praised him for putting profits above justice. I have seen this with my own eyes. When I interacted with him, I felt that he He is sincere in his treatment of others, neither humble nor arrogant, he is proud but not overbearing, and he is extremely smart and wise as Binghong, so I am sure that he will become a great person in the future."
"Well..." Shen Beichen nodded, "It seems that this boy is indeed extraordinary. By the way, I remember last year Qingfeng asked you and the seventh boy of the Duan family to invite him to be a guest. I heard that he refused, Later, Qingfeng said that he didn't know how to praise, what do you think?"
"I don't agree with what Uncle Qingfeng said!" Shen Feiyun said loudly, "I think it's not that Qingshi doesn't know how to praise, but that we underestimated him and neglected him. But last year, our understanding of him was not as deep as now, so our evaluation of him Naturally, it’s not as high as it is now.”
Shen Beichen nodded and asked: "Do you think bluestone has the three attributes of earth, wood and fire?"
"Yes," Shen Feiyun said, "That's for sure. Qingshi probably has metallic Qi."
"I know, I think it is extremely likely that he has metallic Qi." Shen Beichen said, "What about water-attribute Qi? Do you think he still has water-attribute Qi? Or can he have the five-element Qi? Everything?"
"Impossible!" Even Shen Feiyun couldn't help but deny it subconsciously.
"Do you have any basis for saying it's impossible?" Shen Beichen stared at Shen Feiyun calmly and asked, "Or is it just your assumption."
"I'm sorry, ancestor, I made a mistake." Shen Feiyun said quickly, "I have no basis, I just subconsciously believe that it is impossible for someone to have all five elements of zhenqi." After a pause, he added, "But I didn't find anything to indicate that he has it. A sign of water-attribute Qi.”
"You didn't notice it," Shen Beichen said lightly, "it doesn't mean that others didn't notice it. It just means that you don't have enough insight. Or that you don't really take my words to heart. I asked you to pay attention to the outstanding talents in the college. You The attention may be superficial. Let me ask you, since Qingshi rejected our invitation from the Shen and Duan families last year, how has your relationship been over the past year?"
"My grandson is wrong!" Shen Feiyun knelt down suddenly and said, "Uncle Qingfeng asked me to invite him last year. I knew that kind of invitation would be tantamount to an insult to Qingshi, so I did not go. Since then, I have also I had heart problems, so I never saw Qingshi again, but he took the initiative to send me spiritual fruits and wine. As far as I know, Binghong and Jiayun have rarely interacted with Qingshi in the past year, but Duan Qidi and Duan Nineteenth sister had a lot of contacts with him. It was us who took the initiative to alienate Qingshi."
"Hmph!" Shen Beichen finally showed a hint of anger, "You knew Qingfeng was wrong in his judgment but didn't take the initiative to explain it. Does Qingfeng know Qingshi better than you? In addition, since you are wrong, you should find a way to remedy it. It's better for you, because of human kindness. You took the initiative to distance yourself from him, and yet you didn’t reciprocate the spiritual fruit and wine given to you! You’re not as good as Duan Qi in doing this!”
"My grandson knows that he was wrong," Shen Feiyun said, "please ask the ancestor to punish me!"
"You..." Shen Beichen pointed at Shen Feiyun and wanted to teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly the study door was pushed open with a loud sound. Shen Binghong threw herself into Shen Beichen's arms like a kitten and said coquettishly: "Oh, that's too much." Grandpa! Why are you so fierce? Look at you blowing your beard and staring, you are so ugly, let me calm you down!" He said and stroked the old man's long beard with both hands.
Shen Beichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pretended to be angry: "Why did you come in? Are you hiding outside the door and eavesdropping? Do you have any other family tips?"
"I was listening outside the door, but how could I be eavesdropping?" Shen Binghong blinked her big eyes and said aggrievedly, "If you don't want me to listen, how can I hide it from you? I have also felt embarrassed this year. I haven't seen Brother Qingshi, you can punish me too!" He pouted his lips as if to kneel down, his eyes were red and filled with tears.
Shen Beichen quickly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, no punishment, no punishment, no punishment! Get up too!" The last sentence was addressed to Shen Feiyun.
Watch Shen Feiyun stand up. Shen Beichen said: "If you make a mistake, you have to correct it. Use this as compensation. I don't need to teach you how to do it!" As he said this, he threw a jade bottle about one foot high to Shen Feiyun.
Shen Feiyun took it and looked at Shen Beichen doubtfully.
"This is a bottle of sea dragon blood essence. Binghong said that Qingshi's most urgent need is a treasure that can improve his Qi cultivation. This is just right." Shen Beichen said.
"Ah!" Shen Feiyun opened his mouth wide.
"Ah, what," Shen Beichen said lightly, "Is there a problem?"
"This..." Shen Feiyun said, "Isn't it too expensive?"
"Tell me about it!" Shen Beichen turned to Shen Binghong and said.
"It's very expensive, but worth it!" Shen Binghong said, "Brother Qingshi is in his early twenties and is a third-level alchemist and a fourth-level array mage. Even if he only has three attributes of infuriating energy, our investment will not be enough." loss."
"Yeah," Shen Feiyun also reacted and said, "I'm just afraid that he won't be able to use it!" But in his heart, he didn't agree with what Shen Binghong said about 'investment'.
Shen Beichen frowned, looked at Shen Binghong and said, "It's up to you."
"It doesn't matter whether he can use it or not. He has to accept our favor anyway!" Shen Binghong said, "It would be better if he can use it. Hailong has water attributes."
"Ah! I understand." Shen Feiyun said, "If he can use it, it means that he still has water attribute Qi, which means that he is probably full of all five elements of Qi!"
Shen Beichen nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Shen Feiyun and said, "Not too stupid."
Shen Feiyun smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course I can't compare to Sister Binghong. I don't think I can compare to anyone except Qingshi."
"Oh?" Shen Beichen asked, "Can this kid Qingshi really be as smart as Binghong?"
"I think Brother Qingshi is smarter than me." Shen Binghong said seriously.
"I don't dare to talk nonsense. In addition to my own feelings, Duan Qi and Xiaoyu also said that Qingshi is as smart as Binghong," Shen Feiyun said, "Duan Qi said that not long ago, the college tasked Qingshi to lead an assigned task. , Duan Qi is one of the members, and Qingshi has many tricks and tricks, and he can play with the enemy at the palm of his hand. Basically, he can easily complete the task with wits but no strength."
"Yes," Shen Binghong continued, "Brother Zheng Fangyi also said that the last time he led a team on a mission, Qingshi participated, but it turned out that Qingshi, who had the lowest cultivation level, was the actual commander, and it mainly relied on his strategies. The task was completed smoothly without a fight of wits and strength.”
"Well!" Shen Beichen nodded, "This strengthens my confidence. As Binghong said, even if he only has three attributes of Qi, it is still worth this bottle of sea dragon essence and blood. You know what to do in the future. Bar?"
"Yes, I know!" Shen Feiyun replied.
"Grandpa," Shen Binghong asked, "if Qingshi really has all five elements of Qi, what should we do to him?"
"If this is true," Shen Beichen said slowly, "then he is the Chosen One, and we must firmly maintain a friendly relationship with him. Or..." Shen Beichen stroked his beard and thought.
"Or what?" Shen Binghong asked with a change of expression, "Grandpa, you don't mean to get rid of him before he grows up, do you?"
"Huh! Huh?" Shen Beichen stared at Shen Binghong with wide eyes and said, "Hey! Binghong, where did you think you were? Just like your father said, sometimes you are really too smart. If he is really the Five Elements True He has full Qi, not to mention that we have maintained a good relationship with him. Even if we are enemies, we have to compromise and turn enemies into friends! People who have all the attributes of Qi are blessed with great luck. How can we do this? What about going against him? To go against him is to go against God’s will and go against God! Let alone get rid of him, isn’t that asking for death? Absolutely not! Remember, remember!”
"I didn't think so," Shen Binghong said with a blush, "I'm afraid that you think so, Grandpa! Who told you to hesitate and not speak clearly!"
"Hi!" Shen Beichen said seriously, "My original intention was to either... or simply marry him. If he really has all the five elements of Qi, then I will marry you to him!"
"Grandpa, you..." Shen Binghong blushed, paced her feet, turned around and ran out.
"Hahaha..." Shen Beichen said with a proud smile, "Young man, you really think I can't see it because my eyes are so dim? I feel so happy, hahaha..."
But Shen Feiyun was secretly scared: Get rid of Qingshi? Ice rainbow! You are really...
