Xiantu

After Song Mo entered the door, he greeted his father respectfully.There was a maid next to him offering tea, and Song Hui saw that his son had something to say, so he waved his hands and ordered the waiters to retreat, saying, "Mo'er, what's the matter?"

"Father, after eating so many purple-patterned fish recently, my child feels that his cultivation has improved a bit, and he seems to have broken through to the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm." Song Mo said in a deep voice.

"What! Late stage of body tempering?" Song Hui stood up suddenly, almost knocked over the teacup on the desk when he got up, and stared at Song Mo in shock.Song Mo's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Song Hui calmly.

Seeing that his son didn't look like he was joking, Song Hui's face gradually showed joy, "Okay! That's great!" Song Hui walked around the study twice, thought of something, and grabbed Song Mo: "Come on, I will take you somewhere for my father."

Song Hui took down a landscape painting hanging on the study wall, then gently turned a vase placed on the bookshelf, only to hear a "click", a secret door was exposed at the place where the landscape painting was hung just now. With an authentic.

Song Mo stared at it with wide eyes. He had visited this study quite a few times, and only today did he realize that there is something wrong with it.

Following Song Hui into the tunnel, the tunnel is made of stone steps, and there are a few night pearls inlaid on both sides of the stone steps, so that people can't see the road clearly.

Going down the stone steps, Song Mo estimated that it was more than 100 meters above the ground, and Song Huifang stopped in front of a stone house.

On the right side of the entrance of the stone house, there was a half-person-high jade lion with a dragon ball in its mouth. Song Hui walked over and fiddled with the dragon ball three times to the left, and then three times to the right. With a sound, the door of the stone house opened.

Song Hui called Song Mo to go in together, and explained: "This secret room was built under the supervision of your grandfather. You can practice here, and it is not easy to be disturbed by the outside world. This secret room can only be used when you reach the acquired state, so it has never been used." Tell you."

Song Mo nodded to show that he understood that unlike the Body Tempering Realm, which only tempered the physical body, the Acquired Heaven Realm had already cultivated true qi, and if someone disturbed him when he was doing his work at a critical point, it was possible for him to go mad.

This stone room was built very crudely, except for a bare stone bed, a stone table and two stone benches, there was nothing superfluous inside.

Song Hui pointed at the stone bed and said with a smile: "Don't look at this stone bed as ordinary, it's made of kun snail stone dug out from the depths of the volcano. Practicing on it has the effect of calming the mind and mind, so don't go crazy .

Song Mo walked over and touched it curiously, only to feel that the tentacles were warm, and it really didn't look like an ordinary thing.

Then, Song Hui walked up to a stone bench in the corner, walked around it twice, and said, "Mo'er, come here and give it a try."

After all, seeing is believing, Song Mo's cultivation level, you still have to try it yourself before you can rest assured.However, the tempered body has not cultivated true qi yet, and outsiders can't find out what stage of cultivation they have reached, so they can only use this stupid method to try.

Song Mo naturally should be, the spiritual power in his body is much stronger now than before, and pretending to be a warrior in the late stage of quenching state is just a matter of hand.

Walking to the stone bench, without preparing anything, Song Mo landed a light palm on the stone bench, and stood aside respectfully.The stone bench did not move at all, completely different from the situation on the training ground that day.

Song Hui couldn't see any expression on his face, walked to the stone bench, pushed it lightly with his hands, and heard a "poof", and the stone bench immediately turned into powder.It turned out that Song Mo's palm just now shattered the stone bench with his inner strength, but there was no abnormality at all on the outside.

"Okay! Inner strength can be sent and received freely, Mo'er, you have indeed entered the late stage of Body Tempering Realm!" Because Song Hui had already prepared himself beforehand, Song Hui did not lose his composure, but he still couldn't help but look happy.

Then he thought of something, regretfully said: "If only I knew that the purple-patterned fish is useful to you, you won't be humiliated by Palace Master Qin because of your lack of cultivation. Back then, when I was your father at your age, It's just that I've just touched the threshold of the late stage of body tempering, who will dare to say that my son's martial arts qualifications are not enough in the future!"

Song Modao: "I don't care about what outsiders say, and my father doesn't have to worry about it. It's just that there are fewer and fewer purple-striped fish recently, and it seems that they are almost extinct. My future cultivation may not be as rapid as it is now. .”

Speaking of this question, Song Hui couldn't help but frown: "The purple-striped fish in the Yueluo Mountains have been caught almost in the past six months. But in other places, I haven't heard of any purple-striped fish. This matter We can only take a long-term view and see if there is any other way.”

Seeing Song Mo's disappointed expression, Song Hui raised his face and reprimanded: "Warriors should not rely on external things in their cultivation, but rely on their own hard work. If you lose the heart of a warrior , just want to take a shortcut, it is absolutely impossible to climb to the peak of martial arts!"

Song Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed when he thought of how impetuous he had been due to the lack of supply of purple-grained fish these days.With such a mentality, if you want to borrow external force, what kind of immortality and Taoism are you still cultivating!

Song Mo bowed deeply to Song Hui: "Father, the child is wrong."

Seeing the ashamed look on Song Mo's face, Song Hui nodded secretly, and said in a calm tone: "Actually, according to your age, you now have a late-stage body tempering cultivation, as long as you practice diligently, with the guidance of your father , there is a very high chance of entering the acquired state! You must not slack off and let your father down."

Song Mo nodded yes, but smiled wryly in his heart: I'm afraid that in this life, my father won't see me enter the acquired state. After all, the operation of true energy is completely different from spiritual energy, and I can't imitate it. After all, Song Hui only needs to probe a little bit, and he will Revealed.

The last time Song Hui routinely checked the condition of his body, Song Mo also hid his spiritual power in the various acupoints, so he was able to get away with it.

"By the way, the ten-year trip to Beijing is coming soon, and we will be leaving next month. Mo'er, prepare yourself. This time, my father plans to take you with me, so that you can see the world." After returning to the study On the way, Song Hui thought of something and ordered like this.

Song Mo nodded, and he was full of curiosity about the distant capital.As far as he knew, the continent he was on was called the Canglan Continent, which was ruled by Emperor Yin of the current dynasty.The territory of the Great Yin Dynasty was very vast, much larger than the original earth.In order to better rule this continent, Emperor Yin entrusted twelve Jiedu envoys to guard various places, each envoy governs ten prefectures, and each prefecture governs ten cities.Except that Jiedushi is appointed and dismissed by the emperor himself, the palace master and city master are inherited by each family themselves, as long as they hand over all the resources in the territory in full every year.Moreover, unless the previous Jiedushi made a big mistake, the emperor would generally not reject the candidate for the son appointed by the previous Jiedushi.

What surprised Song Mo was that the authority of the royal family of the Yin Dynasty should be greatly weakened after hundreds of years of enfeoffment methods like this.But the fact is that the lords of various places have always bowed their heads and obeyed the imperial court, and did not dare to disobey any orders issued by them. Occasionally they resisted, but they were wiped out by the imperial court with a thunderbolt.

Over the past seven or eight hundred years, not only has the country of the Yin Dynasty not been shaken in the slightest, but it has become more stable.

Therefore, Song Mo was very interested in this trip. Anyway, without the purple-patterned fish, he would not be able to absorb much spiritual energy by meditating like this every day, so he just regarded it as going out for a walk.

And before he left Beijing, Aunt Ding came to look for him again.

Aunt Ding already knew that Song Mo was going to the capital, so she specially came here to present two sets of clothes that she had sewn by herself. As self-willed as before. It's not as dangerous outside as in Yuecheng. Auntie knows that you are annoying her recently, but you are the only flesh and blood left by my sister, so I can't help but teach you for my sister. I only hope that your life will be smooth and smooth, and my aunt will feel at ease." At the end of the speech, her eyes were red.

In the past six months, in order to avoid Auntie Ding seeing the clues, and because she didn't have any closeness and trust in her, Song Mo avoided Auntie Ding as much as she could.Seeing Aunt Ding's true feelings at this time, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, and secretly blamed herself for being too defensive.

However, after being indifferent for so long, Song Mo suddenly couldn't get close to her, so he had to thank her sincerely, and promised that he would behave well along the way and would never be willful and cause trouble.

A month later.

A convoy drove out from the gate of the city lord's mansion, out of Yuecheng, and headed all the way to the capital.

The first car in front contains the water and food to be eaten on the road, as well as some valuable gifts brought to Beijing this time.The vehicle was surrounded by guards, and Song Hui rode a black tiger and walked in the front.

This trip, Song Hui took a total of more than 50 riders, including four early-stage Houtian Realm warriors, twenty late-Body Tempering Realm warriors, and the rest were junior and mid-Body Tempering Realm warriors.This kind of armed force is enough to guarantee their safe arrival in the capital.

The territory of the Yin Dynasty was very vast, and many local officials could not take care of it. Therefore, bandits and bandits were rampant on the roads. Unless there were strong enough guards, ordinary people would not dare to travel such a long distance.

Song Mo rode his "Gallery" and walked in the middle of the team. This was Song Hui's arrangement just in case. The leg strength of "Gate Wind" is not bad among tiger beasts, it was carefully selected by Song Hui, and it is even better than his own mount.As for the horses that the guards rode, although they were all excellent horses, their foot strength was far inferior to that of tigers and beasts.

After walking for more than a month, the road is still peaceful. Even a small group of bandits, seeing this well-equipped convoy from a distance, all fled away.At night, a group of people took out their tents and stationed on the spot, taking turns to watch the night.

On this day, the convoy entered a forest and did not go out from morning to sunset.

Suddenly, Song Hui, who was at the head, made a stop gesture, and the group stopped abruptly.

Faintly, there was the sound of weapons clashing and shouts of killing coming from the front. Listening to that sound, I am afraid that there are quite a few people.Song Mo rode forward on Gale, following his father's gaze.

From the gaps in the dense trees, you can faintly see on a slope ahead, dozens of men in black and strong suits are besieging a convoy. Judging by their skills, the lowest cultivation is at the late stage of body tempering, and there are even several An acquired powerhouse.Although there were hundreds of people in the convoy, they were still beaten back steadily. Beside the most gorgeous carriage in the convoy, several people were besieging a red-faced man about 40 years old.

The red-faced man wields a long spear airtightly. Every time he stabs out, there is a faint red glow on the tip of the spear. Being able to release his true energy like this, he has already touched the threshold of the innate realm. This red-faced man has obviously reached the acquired state. Dacheng in the later period is only one step away from innate.It's a pity that although he has a high level of cultivation, his two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and he has to distract himself from protecting a luxuriously dressed young man next to him.

The boy was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He wore a golden collar around his neck. He didn't know what kind of treasure it was. Every time a sword stabbed at him, it would automatically emit a circular golden shield to block all attacks. .However, with the increase in the number of attacks, the light of the shield has become weaker and weaker, and it looks like it will be shattered at any time.

Song Hui's face was serious, and he softly shouted: "Let's go!" He immediately turned around and went in another direction.

A group of people hurriedly followed. Song Hui rode on the high wind and looked back. Both sides in the fight didn't pay attention to this side, and the man in black didn't send anyone to chase him.

Then the atmosphere in the team was very heavy, everyone speeded up the forward speed in unison, and the daily dry food and water were settled on the mounts.After galloping like this for a few days, they were already far away from the hillside where the battle took place that day, and there was no sign of anyone chasing after them, so everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

On this day, everyone rushed for another day, seeing that it was getting late, Song Hui ordered to camp on the spot.

The night was getting dark, except for those on duty, everyone who was tired all day fell into sleep.

Song Mo fell into a drowsy sleep, and was suddenly awakened by a commotion. He opened his eyes, quickly got up, picked up the saber beside his pillow, and then opened the curtain of the tent door and walked out.

He was probably the last one to get up, and when he walked out, the commotion outside had subsided.

Beside the burning bonfire, I saw the red-faced man who was besieged that day, eagerly talking to Song Hui, and all the guards formed a circle around them.And the young man who was desperately protected by the red-faced man stood aside silently.

The two were in a state of distress, their clothes were torn, and the red-faced man's clothes were even stained with blood. His face was gloomy, obviously seriously injured.

I don't know how the two escaped here when they were besieged by so many masters that day.

As they approached, Song Mo vaguely heard the voice of the red-faced man: "...as long as the adults are willing to help us, we will be rewarded generously when we arrive in the capital."

Song Hui was silent.
