Mountain and forest

When a ray of morning light rose from the east and illuminated the quiet mountain forest again, Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu had arrived at the edge of the Qiulin Mountains. When they stepped out of the last dense forest, they saw hills in the distance.

Some farmland can be vaguely seen between the hills, and some rural villages can be seen in the distant direction.

“It turns out that the rubbing of the thunder map finally fell into your hands.”

Xu Hongyu looked sideways at Chen Mu and said in a daze, “Maybe this is a fateful meeting?”

Coming out of the Qiulin Mountains, she had many questions in her mind. The biggest confusion was how Chen Mu understood the artistic conception of Zhenlei. However, Chen Mu did not hide it from her and directly informed her of the origin of Zhenlei Diagram.

With his current strength and realm, a rubbing version of the Earthquake Thunder Diagram is enough to hold in his hand. Even if it is made public, it will be nothing. Compared with comprehending the Thunder Thunder Concept out of thin air, having a Earthquake Thunder Diagram is more powerful. Much more reasonable.

“What do you mean?”

Chen Mu looked at Xu Hongyu.

At this time, the ray of morning light at the end of the sky reflected on her cheeks, dyeing half of her face a little golden red, and her willow-leaf eyes were filled with a little daze, losing some of the coldness and becoming more cute.

“At first, Tang Quan pretended to be a servant and sneaked into the Yu family. He hid for several years. Then he got the opportunity that day and stole the thunder map from the Yu family. He fled to the outer city. After I got the news, I went to hunt him down. … He died at your hands later, but he didn’t have the thunder map on him, and my people didn’t find him in the stronghold where he was hiding. “

“As for Tang Quan, he used to be from Xicheng, and he seems to be vaguely related to the Evil Gang. However, I have no evidence, and secondly, I have no control over Xicheng. This picture finally fell into the hands of the Evil Gang. In the hands of He, after being tossed around, it was still obtained by You.”

Xu Hongyu shook her head.

If this picture was on Tang Shen at that time, Chen Mu would not be able to get it anyway. With Chen Mu’s ability at the time, he would not be able to keep this picture. Even if she saw it, she would take it back, no matter what It would be handed over to Chen Mu, who was still a sergeant at the time.

But a few years later, after Chen Mu sneaked into Xicheng and killed Zhang He, he obtained this thunder map from Zhang He. At that time, Chen Mu already had the ability to possess this map, which of course made her feel a little… What is confusing is that Chen Mu received the thunder map from Zhang He, and it has not been a year since he was able to realize the thunder concept in a flash.

She often studied the Kanshui Diagram in the Yu family, and so far she has only mastered two sword styles, and the third sword style is still a little worse.

Even though Chen Mu had already mastered the Xunfeng artistic conception previously, the Zhenlei artistic conception was, after all, a fundamentally different artistic conception. It was still shocking to be able to understand it in just one year.

If Chen Mu’s family had not been poor at the time, he would have already joined the Qixuan Sect, passed through the inner sect, and entered the Zhenzong, and would not have grown up like this step by step in Yucheng if he had the opportunity to test his understanding aptitude.

Xu Hongyu couldn’t help but make assumptions.

If that’s the case, maybe when Chen Mu returns to Yucheng one day, he will come as a true disciple of the Qixuan Sect. At that time, the four families in the inner city will greet him solemnly, and she may only be able to take a look at him from a distance. It’s not like you can be involved all the way now.

After all, the status of the true successor of the Qixuan Sect is equivalent to that of the sect’s deacon, comparable to a figure like the city lord Xue Huaikong.

certainly.

Because Chen Mu was born into a poor family, he first came into contact with swordsmanship when he was more than 20 years old. He wasted too much time. Even if his talent is like a monster now, it will be difficult for him to catch up with someone like the true successor of Qixuan Sect.

After all, those Qixuan True Inheritors, whom she had only heard some news about, were the best among countless heroes in the entire Yuzhou land. They were either so talented that they were like monsters, or they were rampaging all the way from the inner gate.

Just think of this.

Xu Hongyu couldn’t help but feel a little regretful when she looked at Chen Mu.

But even so, with Chen Mu’s extreme talent, even if he cannot reach the world above a state, at least looking at this county, he will be able to run freely and rule all directions sooner or later.

“I see.”

Chen Mu showed a hint of surprise.

Xu Hongyu didn’t explain much to him about Tang Quan’s affairs at the time. It turned out that it involved the artistic conception picture, which was indeed not something he was suitable to touch at that time. However, after several twists and turns, the picture finally fell into his hands and helped him. He practiced the thunderous mood.

Without this picture, he would probably only have mastered one kind of Xunfeng artistic conception, and he would not be able to act as freely as he does now.

Xiao He chuckled at the side and said: “So, you can reach your current state, but you are completely inseparable from the young lady.”

However, Xu Hongyu, who had his head lowered and didn’t know what he was thinking, shook his head when he heard Xiao He’s words and said: “With such a talent, once you come into contact with martial arts, it will only be a matter of time before you get to this point. Is there any influence from me?” It’s not too big. He can understand Xunfeng’s artistic conception and break through the realm of Yi Jin, all by his own ability.”

Listening to the conversation between the maid and the young lady, Chen Mu felt interesting for a moment. Xiao He, a clever little boy, had now begun to find ways to claim credit for Xu Hongyu in front of him. Xu Hongyu was still as cold as ever, only occasionally looking at him. , the eyes are not as clear as before, but with something else.

Xiao He heard Chen Mu omit his surname when he called Xu Hongyu, and couldn’t help but stick out his tongue while standing nearby. Xu Hongyu didn’t feel anything strange. In her opinion, Chen Mu’s strength was far superior to hers, even though his status She was still just a green-clad guard, but in this world where strength was the most important thing, Chen Mu walked in front of her and was no longer her subordinate.

After Xu Hongyu pondered for a moment, she said: “Actually, I don’t think it’s appropriate to get into a big fight over this matter. We can just go directly to the nearest stronghold of the Yu family and send back the news about the Tianzhi Sect. Your matter… it’s best not to let more people know it first.” Everyone knows, including the Yu family, what do you think?”

She looked at Chen Mu, her cold willow eyes showing something strange at this time. If her father had been keeping a low profile like Chen Mu back then, maybe nothing would have happened later.

Now Chen Mu relies on his two artistic conceptions, as well as his body of horizontal training and the perfect state of Yijin. His strength is ranked high in a county, but after all, he is still far away from the viscera state.

There is a huge gap between the bone forging realm and the viscera realm.

Just like the difference between easy tendons and muscle training.

Smoothing the skin and training the flesh is one level, refining the muscles and forging the bones is one level, and the internal organs are another level.

There are many characters in the Bone Forging Realm who have never mastered the artistic conception, and there are even a very few people with very poor understanding who have never mastered the artistic conception when they have reached the Bone Forging Realm… But to enter the Five Zang Realm, artistic conception is the foundation.

Therefore, even ten characters who have perfected their bones and cultivated their artistic conceptions are still far from being able to compete with a being who has transcended the realm of the five internal organs and condensed the inner Qi Yuan Gang.

If the Bone Forging Realm wants to compete with the Five Zang Realm, the only possibility is to take the second step out of the artistic realm, but that is also extremely difficult. The difficulty is no less than that of Refining the Internal Organs and Returning to the Origin, which is often the case for those who have entered the Five Zang Realm. Only then can we have the opportunity to touch the second step of artistic conception.

Although Chen Mu has a natural understanding and has cultivated both artistic conceptions, the second step of the artistic conception is probably a heavenly barrier that cannot be crossed in a short time. Therefore, before that, it is best to remain as he was in the past, not showing off his edge or showing off his abilities. Sound and color.

“……”

Xiao He stood aside and blinked, looking at Xu Hongyu with curiosity for a moment.

What Xu Hongyu said just now was that she was completely siding with Chen Mu to think about the problem, and even the Yu family temporarily put it aside. She had never seen Xu Hongyu think this way in so many years.

Could it be that the young lady used this method to show her favor to Chen Mu? But this seems to be too natural, without any flaws. My young lady’s conduct in life should not reach this level.

“Yeah, that’s fine.”

Chen Mu nodded slightly towards Xu Hongyu.

In fact, after showing his strength, he had a complete plan. First of all, the remnant of the Heavenly Corpse Sect must die, and he could not let himself fall into the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s sight too early.

Next is Xu Hongyu and Xiao He. Regardless of whether they tell the Yu family about him or not, there won’t actually be too many bad things for him. From the Yu family’s standpoint, if they know about his situation, they will only do nothing to him. There will be greater efforts to win over.

The only thing is that the Yu family has a lot of eyesight. If they choose to reveal something, Xu Hongyu can directly tell the head of the Yu family and keep the matter to a few people. This way, there is a high probability that more resources needed for cultivation can be obtained from the Yu family. .

As for the worse situation, he didn’t think about it and didn’t care.

With his current strength, he has already been able to travel far away from other counties, or find a remote valley to stay for a year and a half, and then come out after raising the thunderous artistic conception to the second step, but in that case, the body tempering method will have to stagnate. some time.

“What you need most now is probably the Bone Forging Pill, right?”

Xu Hongyu looked at Chen Mu and said softly: “The control of the Bone Forging Pill is very strict. In addition to the annual quota, only the white-clothed guards and above from the Demon Slayer Division can exchange it, and everyone has a limit for exchange. I have just reached my age this year. After entering Yijin Perfection, you still need to accumulate energy and blood for a year before trying to forge the bones. I can give you all the share first.”

Chen Mu does need the Bone Forging Pill now, but using Xu Hongyu’s share… It doesn’t matter when I think about it. Xu Hongyu’s initial achievement of Yijin Perfection does require a period of consolidation, but he is now at the limit of Yijin and has been tempered to the top, so there is no need to consolidate. , not to mention that after he stepped into the bone forging, how could he not be able to get something like the bone forging pill.

What’s more, Xu Hongyu said it for this reason.

Chen Mu looked at Xu Hongyu and suddenly chuckled: “I remember before, you said you wanted to arrange a marriage for me in the Yu family. Now, who do you think is suitable?”

Xu Hongyu was slightly startled and did not react to the sudden change of topic. When she looked at Chen Mu again, she saw that Chen Mu had turned and walked away.

Suddenly I felt itchy in my waist.

But she saw Xiao He standing next to her, gently poking her with his finger, her eyes seemed to be shining, and whispered: “It’s already dawn, hurry up and follow me, miss, don’t be in a daze.”
