When Gu Yuan and Li Siming passed through the colorful barrier, there was a suspension bridge in front of them.
In front of the suspension bridge, there was a group of people, both men and women.
Under the suspension bridge is the rushing river. In addition, in front of the suspension bridge, behind the people standing, there is a stone tablet with "Song Dynasty" engraved on it.
To put it another way, it's pretty shabby.
When Li Siming and Gu Yuan appeared here, those waiting in front of the suspension bridge immediately greeted them.
The person walking at the front was an old man with white hair and white beard. He was wearing a white robe and held a crutch in his hand. However, he was very fast on his feet. He seemed to be quite strong. He didn't know what the crutch meant. , either a status symbol or a cup.
"Captain Li, we're missing you!"
The old man walked up to Li Siming with an friendly smile on his face.
Li Siming smiled and nodded: "Senior Song, are you okay?"
"Thanks to Captain Li, my old body is still strong!" The old man laughed.
Gu Yuan looked at the old man in front of him, somewhat unclear about his strength. Could it be that this was the old man of the Song family that Li Siming and Song Baihe had mentioned before... Oh no, ancestor?
Then, the old man began to introduce the people behind him, and Li Siming also introduced Gu Yuan to them.
"His name is Gu Yuan. He has just graduated from the Martial Arts Academy and is about to become a member of the Star Town Demon Division."
When the old man heard this, he looked at Gu Yuan with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
"Sure enough, a hero is born from a boy! He is so young..." He just wanted to praise Gu Yuan, but he was shocked to find that he could not judge Gu Yuan's strength. He held it for a while and then said, "You are so young..." Qing, you are so young!”
Gu Yuan's face darkened.
If you don’t know how to praise others, then don’t do it, okay?
The old man seemed to be embarrassed by his slip of the tongue just now. He coughed lightly and said with a smile: "This little brother must also be an outstanding student of the martial arts academy, right? Congratulations to Captain Li for gaining another strong general! Let's not talk about anything else for the moment. This dignified appearance alone cannot be compared to that of the children of my Song family!"
Gu Yuan looked at the people standing behind the old man.
be honest.
Indeed, everyone is more handsome than me.
Therefore, Gu Yuan believes that this cannot be regarded as a compliment, but at most, it can be regarded as telling the truth.
After Li Siming's explanation, Gu Yuan realized that the old man in front of him was the current head of the inner sect of the Song family. His name was Song Qiao, and he must have been in his 80s or 90s this year.
Li Siming said it very vaguely. Maybe he was not sure whether the old man was eighty or ninety, and there was no way to tell from his appearance.
However, judging by his age, this old man was not even born when the Yang family suffered a disaster. If it weren't for the tragedy of the Yang family's annihilation, maybe Gu Yuan could really pat Song Qiao on the shoulder and say: I hugged him when I was a child. I've passed you.
certainly.
If the tragedy of annihilation really did not happen, there would be no demon realm in Yecheng, and it would be even more impossible for Gu Yuan to live in that era for a period of time.
Seeing these Song family members, the memories of that time in the Demon Realm came back to his mind. He took a deep breath and suppressed his dissatisfaction with the Song family.
At the very least, Li Siming would not act rashly until he made it clear to the other party.
After crossing the suspension bridge, Gu Yuan glanced down. Looking at the turbid water, he felt like he was in a boat going upstream.
The suspension bridge is very long, about 50 to 60 meters, with four arm-thick iron cables connecting the two sides. The two lower iron cables are covered with a layer of wooden boards that have a bit of age, and there are wooden railings on both sides. Walking on it When he was walking, Gu Yuan was a little worried, maybe there would be a "click" under his feet.
Gu Yuan didn't know Song Qiao's strength, and Li Siming didn't say either.
Gu Yuan couldn't tell the other party's strength, but at least he was the head of the inner sect of the Song family, so his strength must not be too weak.
After all, the Song family is also a sect of Dongtian Paradise!
After crossing the suspension bridge and standing on a high ground, the front looks like a basin. There are rows of houses and pavilions with white walls and black tiles. However, it is not an Huizhou building in the traditional sense, but it has a bit of charm.
After walking down the steps for about ten minutes, Gu Yuan said casually: "There are so many houses...how many people are there in the Song family?"
"Not many, there are still three to four hundred people."
Gu Yuan was shocked.
But think about it.
As a Dongtian Paradise family, the Song family has been inherited for who knows how many years. It is normal for the population to be larger.
Then, Song Qiao said with a smile: "Those who are in the Cave Heaven Paradise are all direct descendants of my Song family, and those who have spread out are all outside."
Gu Yuanxin said, "Why didn't Planned Parenthood arrest you for sterilization? You're such an old man..."
Because of this, Gu Yuan felt that the Demon Suppression Division should take action to suppress them!
but.
Li Siming took Gu Yuan into the Cave Heaven Paradise, and the head of the Song family personally greeted him. It seemed to be quite honorable, but Gu Yuan believed that the situation outweighed the significance. If they really valued Li Siming, they should have walked out of the Cave Heaven Paradise to greet him long ago.
Why wait for Song Baihe to bring them in first?
After all, they are a family of Cave Heaven and Paradise. Even when facing Li Siming, they still have a certain attitude and cannot be as humble as Song Baihe.
When they came to the middle courtyard, Song Qiao had already arranged for people to prepare tea. When Gu Yuan saw the tea, he suddenly felt the need to urinate.
Why do people of some status like drinking tea so much nowadays?
While Gu Yuan was going to the toilet, Song Qiao smiled and said, "Captain Li, this kid named Gu Yuan is a little strange, and it's hard to see his roots."
"Well, he's not a warrior, he's an extraordinary person." Li Siming nodded.
"So that's it!" Song Qiao suddenly realized, "To be so valued by Captain Li, it must be that this little friend has awakened to the elemental system?"
In Song Qiao's view, people who can be favored by Li Siming must either have a great background or have unusually awakened talents.
In all these years, I have never seen Li Siming take any of his juniors around to visit other caves and paradises.
and.
Li Siming is about to go to Northern Xinjiang, which is no longer a secret in Dongtian Paradise.
So when he saw Li Siming bringing Gu Yuan over, Song Qiao subconsciously thought that this was the "successor" chosen by Li Siming, and now visiting Cave Heaven Paradise was paving the way for this young man!
Li Siming put down the tea cup and rubbed his belly, complaining about the Song family's hospitality like Gu Yuan.
Why do you all like making tea? People who don’t know still think that your Song Family Cave Paradise is full of tea leaves, so why can’t you find a few women in navel-baring red dresses to come over and sing and dance to have an exotic style?
Of course, Li Siming could only think this way in his heart, but he certainly couldn't say it with his mouth.
"Master Song has misunderstood. Gu Yuan just came out with me to gain some experience. It is considered as an assessment to enter the Demon Suppression Department. Although he is an extraordinary person, his awakened talent is somewhat special."
"oh?"
"He is a priest." Li Siming said.
Song Qiao was a little shocked when he heard this.
As the head of the Song family, it is impossible for him not to know what being a priest means.
Priest, for Chaofan, should be an abandoned profession.
There are no drawbacks to the priests themselves, but when they start to use their abilities, their spiritual world will be eroded by demonic spirits, and they will eventually become madmen, seemingly human but not human.
If you think about it, you will feel that this is an extremely terrible thing.
Although it is said that if you don't use your own abilities, you can be immune to erosion, but this itself is a paradox. If you can't use your abilities, what is it called extraordinary?
"Ahem, that's...a pity." Song Qiao didn't know what to say for a while.
He was a little confused. Since Gu Yuan was a priest, why did Li Siming let him join the Demon Suppression Division?
Not to mention the Demon Suppression Division.
Letting Gu Yuan enter the martial arts academy seems to be a waste of resources.
"Master Song has misunderstood. Although Gu Yuan is a priest, he has practiced basic spiritual skills quite well and still has fighting ability. However, his awakening time was too short and he only stayed in the martial arts academy for four months. Oh. ...By the way, he is in the martial arts academy and is a wild-level student."
"Tsk..." Song Qiao didn't know what to say.
A wild-level student had only been in the Martial Arts Academy for four months, and now he was going to become a member of the Demon Suppression Division. If Li Siming hadn't said this, he would have begun to wonder if the other party was kidding.
However, considering that the man sitting in front of him was Li Siming, Song Qiao slowly felt relieved.
It’s not unusual for the other party’s character and what kind of things he does.
At this moment, Li Siming also expressed his thoughts.
"The purpose of taking this boy on a trip this time and visiting various sects and families is actually to let him compete with young people from various Dongtian Paradise families and deepen his understanding of the masters of the Dongtian Paradise family sects. Master Song, you What do you think?"
Song Qiao laughed and said: "This matter is quite simple. It's just a competition. I will choose two young people tonight. Captain Li has really worked hard for the Demon Suppression Division!"
He didn't think much about it, he just felt that Li Siming's arrangement was to cultivate the younger generation.
Although, he didn't think there was anything worth cultivating in a priest.
That thing about basic spiritual training...
To put it bluntly, so what if you reach the peak of your training?
It’s just that the person coming is Li Siming after all!
If it were anyone else, he would not pay attention at all. Even if Ye Cheng's sword holder came, the Song family would not give him face.
What do you think of our Song family? If you bring someone here, our Song family will send someone to be your sparring partner?
However, this is indeed not a big deal. Now that Li Siming has brought it up, they are not willing to offend each other because of this trivial matter, and agreeing to it will not have any bad impact on their Song family.
Soon, Gu Yuan came back.
Li Siming raised his head, glanced at him, then turned to look at Song Qiao, and said, "By the way, I heard that the ancestor of the Song family has been released from seclusion?"
"Well!" Speaking of his ancestor, Song Qiao also showed an expression of excitement and pride on his face, "Thanks to Captain Li, my ancestor has successfully broken through and got out of seclusion!"
"After thirty years of seclusion, the patience and courage of the ancestors of the Song family are really beyond imagination." Li Siming said with a smile.
"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, our ancestor is old. Only a breakthrough can break the shackles of life." Song Qiao sighed.
Gu Yuan was a little stunned.
He subconsciously asked: "May I ask the Master of the Song family, is our ancestor now at an advanced age?"
"Huh?" Song Qiao raised his head, glanced at Gu Yuan, and said with a smile: "My ancestor is already one hundred and fifty years old this year."
A gleam of light bloomed in Gu Yuan's pupils, and he subconsciously asked his ancestor's name. Fortunately, at this moment, Li Siming suddenly coughed lightly.
Gu Yuan glanced at him and said nothing, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Calculated based on age.
The ancestor Song Qiao mentioned was most likely the head of the Song family a hundred years ago.
Song Ningxiu!
It's just that Li Siming didn't mention it before, so he couldn't be sure.
"Captain Li, you guys stay at my Song family for the time being. I'll go check on the ancestor's condition later, and then arrange for you to meet and have a chat with the ancestor. How about that?" Song Qiao asked.
"That's very good."
Gu Yuan lowered his head, with complicated expressions in his eyes.
