Twilight Boundary

"So, if the method of keeping the year old has been cultivated to the extreme, it is called the Immovable Seal of Heaven and Earth?"

"Yes, that is our great way to support the Zhou family, and it is also the biggest skill among the Shou Sui family today."

"My father told me that this is the greatest skill among today's Shouzimen. It's a pity that most of it is passed down from our ancestors and only men can master it."

"He has always wanted to change it and make it a kung fu that can be taught to both men and women, but after so many years, it still hasn't happened..."

"Why must it be changed?"

"Because he only has me as his daughter, and he feels at a loss if he teaches others!"

"...It makes sense!"

"..."

As they went to Beijing, Hu Ma gradually gained some understanding of this orthodox tradition of keeping the year old by talking to Miss Zhou.

"It makes sense that the name of the Yangming Zhou family contains the word "Yangming".

"People who watch the year are not reckless, but they seek a way to survive through the simplest methods. Everyone has only one life. They borrow strength from heaven and earth to grow stronger, but are corroded and melted by heaven and earth."

"Human relationships are like knives, and disasters can take lives. No one can escape. However, the Zhou family has a way to maintain their lives. If they do not change their destiny, they can maximize their destiny."

"If you are healthy, you will be free from all kinds of diseases. If you understand the method of yin and yang, you will be able to keep your body intact and your life intact."

"And if you practice this method to the extreme, you will be free from all dharmas."

"My father once went into seclusion for three months without moving, eating, drinking or sleeping. He came out after three months, looking as energetic as he did at the beginning of the seclusion. The most important thing is that his lifespan is not reduced..."

"In other words, in these three months, he has jumped out of the yin and yang life span and is no longer between heaven and earth."

"..."

Hu Ma thought about the truth behind these words, but three words jumped out of her mind:

The living dead.

When he first entered the Shou Sui Sect, Shopkeeper Wu once said that the Shou Sui Sect reaches its extreme level, which is the realm of the living dead.

At that time, I thought that the living dead meant reaching the top of the ladder, and the whole body could turn to death.

Now I think about it, could it be that the realm of the living dead is higher than this?

Of course, Shopkeeper Wu should have heard it from elsewhere. His own realm is far from reaching such a high level.

"Dad is famous among the ten surnames for his impeccable golden body and impeccable skills. Very few people in the sect dare to mess with him, but he also said that there is a problem with his sect, but He didn’t understand what the problem was, and that was his obstacle.”

"If you break it, you are out of bounds."

"But just such a skill can be called the foundation of staying up late in the world."

"The ten surnames all refer to each sect as their own family, and there are also sayings that each sect calls them their ancestors. This makes sense. The sects all say that all methods return to the clan. This is because the bridge is in the hands of the ten surnames. In the underworld, one sect is commanded, and each of the ten surnames has a unique skill like this. Although it cannot be said to be the true ancestor of each sect, it can be called the mother form of the ten sects. "

"Ten Gate Mother Styles?"

Hu Ma listened thoughtfully and nodded gently: "The ten surnames are indeed unique..."

"...It's almost like someone pushed it out on purpose."

"..."

"Master, the Shangjing City is just ahead. We should be able to arrive before sunset."

Just as he was thinking about it, Officer Xiaodou's call could be heard outside the carriage.

Hu Ma opened the curtain and glanced forward, only to see a long ancient official road in the wasteland, extending straight ahead. The green mountains on both sides seemed to be covered with a layer of gray temperament.

Although it was still far away and the legendary ancient capital of Shangjing could not be seen, it seemed that at the end of the official road, there was a huge thing covered with gloomy ghosts, waiting for his approach.

Shangjing, the head of the dynasty, the core of heaven and earth, the place where the capital was destroyed, and where the ten surnames rose.

Since traveling around the world, Hu Ma has heard many legends about Shangjing. Even if Duyi died early, Shangjing seems to be a special place in the hearts of people from different walks of life.

Everyone knows that all kinds of grass-headed kings are emerging in the world now, but no matter how fierce they are in their own territory or how famous they are, it is of no use.

In the end, it all depends on who can reach the capital. The one who sits on the king's chair is the real dragon. Everything else is just reckless.

Although the ten surnames rose to prominence in Shangjing, most of them did not choose to stay there due to various inexplicable reasons. Even the most evil Meng family felt that going to Beijing was too evil, so they moved their ancestral home to Yanzhou. Among them, only the ancestral temple of the Meng family remains.

The Hu family is actually the same.

If the Qingyuan family is separated from the Hu family, the Qingyuan family is no longer included in the family tree.

Speaking of which, the Hu family now has two ancestral areas, one in Shangjing and the other in Laoyin Mountain.

Therefore, although it is his first time to go to Beijing, in theory, it is equivalent to a return trip to his hometown.

"It's been a long time, so let's go faster!"

Hu Ma's mind was up and down, so he urged her, and the rumble of the carriage became louder.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving, I suddenly heard the animals outside being restless and restless for a while. They were hesitating with their hooves raised, shaking their heads, and refused to come forward.

Even the handlebars in front and the guys walking with the car suddenly let out a low voice and shouted in a trembling voice:

"No way, has this happened again?"

Seeing that everyone was frightened, Hu Ma frowned and looked out, and saw that in front of this ancient road, the strong wind blew away the yellow sand, revealing a dark military formation, which was filled with tens of thousands of people. A densely arranged army of soldiers and horses lined the official road, and the murderous aura on their bodies seemed to have stopped even with the wind blowing in front of them.

We encountered the food-seeking team before and went through a lot of dangers. Now we saw the army blocking the road again. No one was unafraid.

"It seems to be a city guard..."

Behind, Lao Abacus hurriedly rushed up and said to Hu Ma: "This is the former Duyi personal guard. After the extinction of Duyi, the Duyi world existed in name only, but this city defense army was joined by the ten surnames." After being raised, he did not participate in the various battles, but was here to guard Shangjing. Why is he now a hundred miles away from Shangjing? "

"This is different from the Panshan King. Don't provoke him lightly!"

Hu Ma said: "I have no choice but to help Ling return to the capital safely. Who will I provoke?"

"Since you are supporting the spirit, you must abide by the rules of supporting the spirit. Don't take detours, just go straight there!"

"..."

As he spoke, he concentrated slightly, and the aura of Jiuzhu Daoxing surged out, protecting his party and the animals.

This is an ability that comes naturally after he has practiced a lot. People around him can't notice it, but they just feel that they are becoming more courageous.

Seeing Hu Ma's firm tone again, he calmed down, urged his horse again, and walked forward slowly.

Going to the capital is the foundation of the Ten Surnames. Needless to say, this city guard army is also under the command of the Ten Surnames.

Now that the ten surnames know that they are coming to Beijing, they have brought such an army over. What is their purpose?

While Hu Ma was thinking about it, the car was driving forward, and the two sides were getting closer. They could already clearly see the army on the opposite side, as well as the "city protection" flag raised high in the army.

Seeing the intertwining energy, they were about to collide, but suddenly they heard a drum sound in the army, and soon the horns sounded.

The soldiers and horses blocking the road suddenly retreated to both sides of the official road, dismounted one after another, and half-knelt beside them.

"Go to the capital to guard the city and welcome General Zhen Zou back to the capital!"

"..."

Hearing that loud shout, not to mention the handlebars and the guys, even Miao Shanxiangu and Miss Zhou in the car behind were stunned.

First, I have never seen such a force of soldiers and horses facing each other. Second, I also find this title strange.

Hu Ma was also in the carriage and did not get out of the carriage, and because he did not give an order, the carriage and horses slowly passed between the army. While they were each wondering, they suddenly saw the misty dust behind the army. Suddenly, two figures were walking slowly from the front.

Looking closely, he saw that he was an acquaintance. One was Zhao Sanyi of the Zhao family, the magic hand, and Chen Abao of the Chen family, who was the descendant.

The two people came from both sides of the road. When they arrived, they didn't say anything. They just walked with the car, leading them forward.

The soldiers and horses behind them followed closely behind, and only the sound of the clashing of pieces of iron armor was heard. Everyone stood up, set up their ritual tents, and followed behind them in a mighty manner.

After walking less than twenty miles, I saw two more people coming to pick me up.

One was wearing a bright white robe, while the other was wearing colorful clothes similar to witch clothes.

Similarly, he walked to the left and right, came to the front of the carriage, bowed gently to Hu Ma in the carriage, and then followed him on both sides.

Going forward again, two people came hand in hand, but one was wearing black clothes and the other was wearing red clothes.

"The children of the ten surnames will go out of the city to greet each other for hundreds of miles..."

Old Abacus, who was following the carriage next to him, looked at the battle and felt vaguely scared:

"It's despicable if someone doesn't respect etiquette, but the other party's courtesy is too heavy and scary..."

"..."

Hu Ma also understood clearly. Now, those who came to meet him after traveling hundreds of miles from the city were, surprisingly, disciples from all walks of life in the ten surnames.

The Zhao family, the descendant Chen family, the immortal Wang family, the Guanshan family, blessing the Sun family, the Zhou family, the noble Zhang family, the impermanent Li family, came in groups of two, four pairs came over one after another.

It's just that people from the noble Zhang family are dressed in rags and have no nobility at all.

And when the last group of cousins ​​from the Wuchang Li family and the Shousui Zhou family came over, they were holding a paper figurine in their hands...

...Does this represent the Tongyin Meng family?

He had some idea and followed them forward. After a while, he finally came to a large and simple city. When he looked up, he saw that the city wall was so tall that it almost seemed like it was blocking out the sky and the sun.

But the legendary ancient capital of Shangjing is not majestic and sacred at all. It only makes people feel that there is a ghostly atmosphere in the city.

He was in a trance, as if he had arrived in some underworld, a ghost town where humans and ghosts were mixed.

In front of the current city gate, it looks even more lively. There are incense tables and ritual tents. A high platform has been set up early, and green flags are hanging down next to it.

Master Dongxuan, the leader of Daluo Dharma Sect, was in front of the stage. Looking from both sides, he saw a pair of big sleeves fluttering. They had different descriptions, but they were all important figures in the ten surnames.

Seeing the driver slowly approaching, the Imperial Master waved the whisk in his hand, walked forward slowly, and sighed softly:

"Having endured humiliation and heavy burdens for twenty years, the people of heaven and earth should be grateful."

"The Zhenzhu Hu family returned to Beijing safely, which shows that God protects those who have made meritorious deeds..."

"..."

After saying that, he bowed deeply, stood up slowly, came to the carriage, and said loudly: "I will personally lead the horse for the Hu family, who has been suffering for twenty years, and bring it to Beijing!"
