In the inner hall, the lights were brightly lit, and elders from all clans gathered to discuss family matters.
"We have sent people to contact you. There should be news in the near future, so you don't have to worry." An old man sat on the second seat and spoke.
"Now among the four major branches, I am the only one in the Shen family who does not have the Golden Core Master. If this continues, by the time of the competition, I am afraid that the golden cup will fall and be replaced by someone else." An elder said worriedly.
The so-called golden cup is the symbol of the four major branches, and it is also a treasure.
The rest of the people were silent after hearing this. It turns out that these four major branches are also interchangeable. If there is no strength, a stronger one will take over. This is also the way to keep the villa strong. These four major branches all have advantages in terms of resource supply and connection selection. If you still can't beat others, that's your own business, don't complain.
The Shen family can be regarded as a thousand-year-old family, but now it is out of business, and there is no real Jindan in charge. It has long been targeted by its branches and branches, and is about to jump up. The so-called grand competition is not only a competition between disciples, but also a performance by the Jindan master. As one of the four major branches, it would be ridiculous if there were no Jindan monks.
"There are still decades before the Grand Competition. Is it possible that among the ten people you are waiting for, no one can be promoted?" A young man said. He looked at the elders and frowned slightly.
"Second Young Master, it is not difficult to be promoted to Yuanxian. All we need to do is find a spiritual treasure that conforms to our martial arts and divine will, communicate with the weapon spirit, and obtain its oath, then we can merge into the body and become the Yuandan body. It’s just that our clan’s spiritual treasures were lost six hundred years ago. Even if we spend all our wealth to get those divine objects, we still can’t get them.” One of the elders sighed and said that ordinary spiritual weapons are useless if they don’t comply with the martial arts. It is extremely difficult to obtain the best spiritual weapons that are suitable for one's own skills.
"I don't know what the situation of the family leader is now. There has been no information for half a year. It may have changed." Someone else said in a deep voice.
"It is said that there is a branch of the surname below that has become more active recently and has begun to operate the Great Competition. There is a person in his family who has achieved the magic pill. He has been operating it for three hundred years and became a god in one day. He has some perseverance."
"Hmph, when the old master returns as a god, there will be nothing to fear."
Everyone has been debating, but there is no good plan. In the comparison of strength, there is no room for falsehood. The capable are superior and the weak are inferior. This has been the truth for thousands of years.
At this moment, a letter came to the door, but the person who was sent to detect the letter came back.
"Report——Elders and young masters, we have news." The person who reported the news had a gloomy look on his face, which made everyone feel uncertain.
"Tell me, what's the news?" said a middle-aged man sitting in the seat, it was the eldest young master of the Shen family.
"I would like to report to the eldest young master, second young master, and elders, we went to the city that the patriarch mentioned, but something drastic happened. After inquiring, we found out the truth. The old patriarch had already obtained the throne and was about to achieve the magic elixir, but who knew it would happen? At this time, the old royal family rebelled, and the head of the family was also killed by the new national master." The person who reported the news knelt on the ground, not daring to look at the crowd, and said with his head lowered.
"What!!" Everyone was shocked and stood up.
"Why so?!"
"How is it possible? Daddy has clearly said that everything is within his grasp!"
For a moment, the whole room was shocked.
Everyone was talking about it, and the eldest young master who was in charge was livid. Although he had felt this way for a long time, he just pretended that it had not happened before it happened, so what should he do now.
He was silent for a long time, and then asked the person who reported the news: "Do you know what level the new Imperial Master is and what his foundation is?"
"According to some military guards, he is a young Qi practitioner. This man defeated the family master in a single fight. No one knows where the young man came from. Although he has served as a national advisor, he may not have shown up for a long time. I don't know. Whereabouts." The messenger lowered his head, not daring to look at the crowd.
In the hall, everyone was silent. Now that the matter has come to this, we should think more about the next things. How to deal with the competition is the top priority.
"It's really hateful. How could Daddy be killed by a Qi Refiner when he was in the period of fake elixir? It must have been that man who took advantage of his father to refine the Dragon Qi of National Destiny and attacked him secretly." The second young master said fiercely: "Brother, How can I not avenge my father's murder? I want to go to that land and slaughter all the royal family to comfort my father's spirit."
"Second Young Master! You can't do this! How can those who are ordinary mortals kill people? If outsiders know about it, how will they view our Shen family!" An elder said in shock and stood up to stop him. Their Wuchen Villa is an upright sect no matter how you say it. If you really do this, the owner of the village will punish you before the competition.
The second young master was about to say more when the middle-aged man on the seat shouted: "Yuzheng, don't talk nonsense."
When Shen Yuzheng heard this, he glanced at the elder bitterly, sat down, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Everyone, this matter should be kept secret. We just want to know about it. Now we can only use our financial resources to find a spiritual treasure. I want to go to the Central Region and go to Suxian City to have a look. Maybe there will be a turn for the better. In the near future, How do you feel about working hard to collect belongings to prepare for your needs?" The middle-aged man stood up and looked around at everyone.
"What Master Yuming said makes sense."
"Yes, as long as I can get a spiritual treasure, I won't hesitate."
"That being the case, let's break up and go get ready." Shen Yuming said.
The elders stood up and left.
After everyone left and there were only two brothers in the hall, Shen Yuzheng hurriedly asked, "Brother, are you really not going to take revenge?"
"Yu Zheng, can you say this kind of thing in public? How will you behave in the future if you teach others how to behave?" Shen Yuming's eyes grew cold, and he added: "When things stabilize, I will send two elders, Zhang and Zhu, to go with you. , kill the new Imperial Master, and destroy the entire royal family!"
Hearing this, Shen Yuzheng's face showed a venomous expression, and he said bitterly: "Originally, my father sent me a message saying that I was sure. I don't know where the Qi Refiner is meddling in his own business, and his life would be worse than death."
"Oh, I tried to persuade my father at the beginning, but this Kingdom of God was not built in a day. It took the Fang family three hundred years of operation to get what it is today. If we had made plans earlier, we wouldn't have been like this. Yuzheng, that land Within the jurisdiction of the Five Elements Sect, you must be careful in everything you do. If the new national master is really a member of the Five Elements Sect, he must not let this person know that it was my Shen family who wanted to become a divine elixir in the past. Otherwise, the owner of the village will blame him. Without waiting for the competition, this The golden cup is about to fall." Shen Yuming said in a deep voice.
The Shen family also has its own city, but that small cultivation city is not suitable for achieving divine elixirs. Mortal cities have simple people and are the easiest to gather people's hearts and condense the destiny of the country.
"If that person is really a Five Elements Cultist, won't he take revenge?" Shen Yuzheng frowned, feeling unwilling to do so.
Shen Yuming said: "We need to think about it in the long term, but how about killing all the members of the royal family?" He knew that if he didn't say this, his temperament would be difficult at this point, and it would be unsightly if inner demons were hidden.
"Forget it, when we find out the background of the new Imperial Master, we have to settle it." Shen Yuzheng said, but his eyes were full of gloom. His father treated him best and gave him whatever he asked for for hundreds of years. Now he is also practicing Qi. In the later period, if you don't avenge this revenge, you will be a son of man in vain.
Wang Qi rushed all the way to Lin's house, got on the shuttle boat without phase change, and arrived at Lin's house in just five days.
He concealed his figure and went directly to Suyi Pavilion. When he boarded the pavilion again, he was also filled with emotion. The manifestation of Shanwai Prime Minister gave him an absolute advantage in the battle. Even in the realm of Shendan, With the power of a battle, this time I came to the Lin family not only to heal my wounds, but also to study the secret weapon refining scroll. After Mu Zhonghuo awakened, he had to start refining Wu Xiang.
He took out the clock with twelve patterns, used magic power to change it to three feet in size, put it on a rope and hung it in the attic, and flicked his fingers, and the bell sounded melodiously.
Everyone in the Lin Mansion heard the sound of the bell, and were not only surprised where the sound came from.
Lin Long, who was practicing Kung Fu, opened her eyes. After thinking for a moment, joy surged into her cheeks. She quickly stood up, sat in front of the mirror to dress up, put on the new clothes she had prepared for a long time, and then hurried over. Suyi Pavilion.
Wang Qi sat quietly in the pavilion, regulating his breath and recuperating his mind. He thought to himself, how can this rhyme nourish the sea of spirits, listening to the piano and drinking tea every day? He didn't know much about this way, so he just waited...
Just as he was thinking of this, he heard light steps going up to the attic. He looked up and his eyes lit up!
Lin Long was dressed in white gauze and green clothes, with emerald jade rings on her wrists, a water-colored skirt, and a red silk rope around her ankles. Her face was slightly red. When she saw Wang Qi, she leaned down and bowed down: "Long'er, see you, sir."
"No need to be polite, just sit down and talk." Wang Qi smiled and saw Lin Long sitting down and said, "What happened to the Lin family recently?"
"Sir, everything has been normal since you destroyed the Yao family. However, there are some rumors in Chiming City. It is said that the destruction of the Yao family is related to the Five Elements Sect. It is also said that the Yao family actually colluded with monsters and was punished by the Five Elements Sect." Lin Long replied.
Wang Qi nodded slightly and said: "I came here this time to trouble Long'er."
"Master, please tell me, Long'er will definitely be able to do it." Lin Long sat in front of the piano, caressing it gently with his jade hands, and the sound of the piano rose.
Wang Qi said slowly: "In the last battle, my Shenhai was somewhat injured. Someone once said that Daoyun could be restored, so I came here to give it a try."
Lin Long was shocked, pressed the piano with his hand, and said hurriedly: "Young Master's injury is serious, how much damage did Shenhai suffer?"
"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury." Wang Qi waved his hand, indicating that nothing happened.
Lin Long frowned and pondered. After a while, the music started playing again, and she said slowly: "Sir, this is a soothing song. It is used when I meditate and calm my mind. I feel it has some effect on restoring my soul."
She knew all about music. She worked hard in her early years and bought a music sheet called Anshen Qu at Xiuzhenfang Market. After listening to the music for many years, her soul became clear and her Taoism even improved.
Wang Qi closed his eyes to recuperate, his mind completely immersed in the music, rising and falling with the sound of the piano.
This song is gentle and comfortable. I don’t know where it starts. It starts with a tinkling sound, a little bit like the sound of raindrops falling. It moves forward, and there are soft and soft sounds in sequence, like the gurgling of a mountain stream. This mountain is a bit high and far away. , as if you can see the wind and clouds outside the mountain. If you go further, the streams gather to form a river, some are rapid and erratic, and some are weightless when you go straight down thousands of feet, and some are so high that the sky is swaying in the wind, which makes people feel refreshed. Feeling at ease.
In the Wangqi Divine Sea, the sound of the piano changes, the wind and clouds change, the light rain falls, and it gathers into streams and rivers, meandering in the snow-capped mountains, and every time it passes through a crack, some of the stream water flows from there. Down there, the cracks seemed to be closing. The water flowed all the way down, all over the mountain, and finally returned to the sea of mist.
Wang Qi had no thoughts and truly relaxed his mind. He was completely immersed in the Taoist rhyme performed by Lin Long and lived a moment of peace of mind.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Qi opened his eyes. The sky was dark and the moon was shining brightly.
When he caught his eye, he saw Lin Long lying on the piano, sleeping soundly. Wang Qi felt pity in his heart. This woman fainted from exhaustion regardless of the consumption of her magic power. He walked up to her and took a look, but found that she was just asleep. , picked up the feather gauze and put it on her body, and stopped disturbing her.
With a wave of his hand, he closed the window sash in the attic, sat cross-legged and meditated, and went to take a look at the divine sea.
In the snowy mountains, the lingering sound was still there, and the streams flowing down were constantly repairing the cracks. He looked carefully and found that this rhythm was really useful. Some subtleties had been compounded, and the larger traces seemed to have moved. According to the If this continues, within two months, he will be back to his original state. He was overjoyed, secretly thinking that he had saved the pill of Shenhua.
