The old ghost paused while drinking tea, then pretended to ask unintentionally: "How did you know I would come?"
"I just know." Su Bin said firmly.
The old ghost was speechless and said after a while: "Fuyang Prefecture is weak, while Jing Prefecture is restless."
"What do you want to say?" Su Bin glanced at him.
The old ghost lowered his head: "I have met some people over the years. I have an old friend who is from the Eight Divisions of Jingzhou. He told me that Jingzhou has now taken back the garrison troops stationed on the borders of NJ, Qishan and Wuzhou. Tens of thousands of troops are marching towards Fuyang Prefecture, and the war will begin in a month at most."
Su Bin's eyes changed.
The old ghost sneered: "Fuyang Prefecture must have received the news at this time. It's a time when we are too busy to take care of ourselves. They won't even notice our coming and going."
Su Bin was silent.
Seeing this, the old ghost put down his tea cup: "Maybe in a few months, there will be no Fuyang Prefecture in the world."
"You want "Xiang Di Gong"?" Su Bin suddenly said.
The old ghost was startled, his expression softened at first, then solemn, his mind turned around, and he simply nodded and said: "That's right! I have been practicing "Celestial Elephant Skill" for more than ten years, and I was trapped in the second level until I retired from the secret department. Lack of secret medicine, so far no progress. Aren't you the same? "Xiangdi Gong" is brave and diligent, but if you don't make progress, you will retreat. These years of neglect, I'm afraid it has fallen back to the second level? Celestial Elephant Kung Fu, Xiangdi Gong, They have the same origin and are split from the same martial art. In the past, no one dared to practice it among the secret brothers, and those who dared to practice suffered a miserable fate. But now... the situation is different. The two of us practice together. If you can't master the fourth level of "Ivory Sky", the opportunity will come once in a lifetime. "
""Ivory Sky"..."
Su Bin murmured, his expression not changing much.
The old ghost's heart sank, he frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Are you afraid of dragging down the child?"
Su Bin said nothing.
The old ghost's hand holding the teacup tightened unconsciously.
"My name is Su Qiulian, right? Xiao Lian seems to have joined the Heyang Gang. Well... after all, he has reached the age of practicing external martial arts..." The old ghost considered it and said slowly: "The Heyang Gang has always been with Fuyang Prefecture has a close relationship with the government. If a war breaks out, the Heyang Gang will not sit idly by. This would be equivalent to giving up the industry that has been operated for many years and taking refuge in Jingzhou, which is even more impossible. There are many enemies between the two sides. Therefore, once the two states fight, The Heyang Gang is destined to be unable to stay out of the situation, and your child may also be in danger, after all... the enemy is Jingzhou."
Su Bin closed his eyes and said, "Let me think about it."
The old ghost nodded, "In three days, I'll give you an answer whether it's okay or not."
...
"There is no patrol today, and the government soldiers have dispersed. It's strange."
Passing by the Yuanyang Tower by the Yang River, I found that the building had been sealed off, and four soldiers were guarding the door. It was still very lively yesterday, and that annoying guy Xiang Yang showed off to him, saying he was going to the Yuanyang Tower for a banquet, right?
Su Qiulian took a closer look and saw that the surroundings were extremely quiet. He observed it for a while and then left without taking it to heart.
Su Qiulian was very preoccupied along the way. He spent the whole morning wondering about the meaning behind the gang's sudden opening of the Zangwu Pavilion. Unknowingly, he had returned to the door and was about to push the door open. The door suddenly opened and a tall and burly figure walked out of it. .
Su Qiulian looked up in confusion, and saw a "strong old man" with half-white hair glanced at him and left without saying a word.
Su Qiulian was a little confused. He turned around and looked inside the room, and found that his father was drinking tea quietly, looking very worried. He didn't even notice that he was back.
Walk through the door.
"Dad, who was that person just now?"
Su Bin put down the tea cup and said calmly: "An old friend."
"oh."
Su Qiulian had no intention of paying attention to his father's friends for the time being, so he immediately closed the door and briefly recounted what Protector Li said about the Heyang Gang's celebration.
However, Su Bin sighed several times after hearing this.
"Dad, is there... something bad going on here?" Su Qiulian lowered his voice subconsciously.
Su Bin didn't answer.
Su Qiulian opened his mouth, looking slightly anxious.
"well……"
With a long sigh, as if he had completely let go of something, Su Bin looked lost for a while, and then slowly returned to normal.
"Later, dad will teach you the "Xiang Di Gong"."
Su Qiulian froze, thinking that she had heard wrongly.
"What...what is Xiang Di Gong..."
Su Bin slapped it with his hand and sneered: "What else could it be? It's the "Xiang Di Gong" you've been thinking about."
Su Qiulian shrank his head and asked quickly: "Dad, you...want to teach me Xiang Di Kung Fu?"
"Um."
After receiving the confirmation, Su Qiulian became excited instantly. He stood up and sat down again at a loss. It was obvious that he was really excited.
But soon, after the excitement, he came to his senses and said, "If you teach me Xiang Earth Kung Fu, aren't you afraid... that the secret department will hunt us down?"
Su Bin said calmly: "As long as it doesn't leak out, everything will be fine. Also, it's not the Secret Department that's chasing us, it's the Forbidden Department."
Su Qiulian still couldn't believe it. Just yesterday, not long ago, his father had seriously rejected him. How could he change his mind just after he came back from a trip to the gang? He begged for "Xiang Di Gong" not once or twice.
"Is it because of the Heyang Gang? Dad."
Su Bin shook his head: "Don't ask. Since I have decided to pass Xiang Di Kung to you, you should practice it well for me."
"oh."
Su Qiulian responded, but after being so excited, there was not much joy in her heart, and she even felt a little inexplicably heavy. Vaguely, he realized that his originally stable life might be about to be broken. This feeling comes from his extremely sensitive emotional capture since he was a child. Whenever his father wants to go out for action, he will unconsciously emit it.
It's the lingering sadness and reluctance to give up.
He vaguely heard what his father said again, but he was already confused.
A moment of random thoughts.
"The sky is high and the earth is very wide. Rabbits eat grass and wolves eat meat. Between people, it is with fists that we talk. I... am still too weak." Su Qiulian saw his father turning around and entering the room after he finished speaking. He felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He had felt this way since he was a child, so he took the initiative to join the Heyang Gang and practiced martial arts hard. He thought he was getting away from this feeling, but he didn't expect to feel it again now.
A smell that was so familiar that it was... disgusting.
Walking straight into the room, the door slammed shut, "In the final analysis, I didn't work hard enough. What am I afraid of..." Su Qiulian lay on the bed, closed his eyes, opened them again, and silently said 'Enter' in his heart.
Staring at the four dazzling options embedded in the air, this room that was integrated with the study and martial arts hall, especially the word "practice", seemed to be reminding and urging something at all times, but he was timid and did not make full use of it.
The proficiency accumulated by just "meditating" comes very slowly. If this continues, this 'practice room' will be regarded as a secret investment.
Being dead inside is not really dead. If that's the case, then why bother? People who practice martial arts can hone themselves best through life-and-death fights. Although meditating is easy and stable, he only gains about 100 proficiency points. As long as he kills a robber, in addition to money and occasional lottery tickets, he will also get 100 proficiency points that will be settled after a successful challenge. Spend.
