Outside Yucheng
In a deserted forest, Chen Mu followed his memory and walked through the familiar mass graves before arriving at a slightly flatter forest.
His eyes swept around, looking at the low graves, and soon found a newer grave in one of them.
Those are the graves of his father and mother Liu Ping.
Originally, the two tombs were not together, and Liu Ping was buried in another place. Chen Mu’s father, who was still a police officer at that time, placed the grave properly. However, when Chen Mu’s father passed away, it was just a hastily arranged grave. Mouth.
It was not until Chen Mu was promoted to Wutongli Chaosi that he finally found some time during his tenure to move the two tombs together outside the city and erect a monument in Chen Mu’s name.
Although both of them had passed away when he came to this world, in a sense he had no parental affection for either of them and only had some memories, but since he lived as Chen Mu, he still had a cause and effect.
Chen Mu was carrying a drink.
Go to the new grave and pay homage.
Xu Hongyu followed her all the way until it was over. She looked at the grave and whispered, “You are very different now. Do you want to move to a better place in the future?”
Chen Mu shook his head and sighed: “That’s it, don’t disturb them anymore.”
In today’s troubled times, what’s the point of repairing a mausoleum? It might attract some tomb robbers. It’s better to just bury them here without any disturbance. After all, the two of them are buried together.
Xu Hongyu nodded lightly and followed Chen Mu out of the forest.
Looking not far away, you can see the towering Yucheng wall. Chen Mu stood and looked at it, feeling a little emotional in his heart. In the past, when he was a guard, he carried corpses and often went in and out of Yucheng. At that time, he only sighed at how tall the wall was. , almost surpassing some of the old imperial cities he had seen in his previous life. Looking at this towering city wall now, he no longer had the feeling of looking up.
Xiao He and a group of people stayed outside. When they saw Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu coming out, they followed them. The group quickly entered the city along the south gate and went all the way in until they entered the inner city.
Arrive at the Yu family’s residence.
Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu separated temporarily. Xu Hongyu went to the main courtyard in the east, while Chen Mu went north and soon returned to the small courtyard where he lived before.
The servants along the way seemed to have heard about his deeds in An Yu, and they looked at him with more respect.
“Brother is back.”
Chen Yue was practicing his sword in the yard. Suddenly he saw Chen Mu walking in. A look of joy suddenly appeared on his face. As soon as he put the sword in his hand away, he ran towards Chen Mu.
Chen Mu smiled slightly, and when he was about to say something, he saw Chen Yue suddenly pounce and hang on to him like she did when she was a child. However, she was already a grown-up girl now and was a little unable to hang on to her. Moreover, she had not done it since two years ago. Go through this kind of action.
“It’s from a big girl’s house, it has a bit of an image.”
Chen Mu put her down and scolded her angrily.
Chen Yue said with a smile: “No one will see it here… By the way, I have also entered the realm of meat training.”
“Yeah, good.”
Chen Mu nodded slightly. No wonder his tentacles felt more solid than before when he pounced on him.
It took more than two years to go from skin grinding to meat training, which is relatively fast among many martial artists. After all, he is in the Yu Family Martial Arts Academy, where there is no shortage of resources. Moreover, he is his sister, and she usually uses some valuable nourishing decoctions.
If he could perfect the level of flesh training within two years, and then move into Yijin within one year, then the progress would be almost the same as Xu Hongyu’s, but the swordsmanship would be more than a beat slower.
After all, although Chen Yue started practicing the Body Tempering Technique when he was around fifteen years old, similar to the children of the big family, Xu Hongyu practiced swords since he was a child before reaching the age of Body Tempering, while Chen Yue practiced the Body Tempering Technique together with Practice.
“Didn’t you cause any trouble when I was away?”
Chen Mu walked into the room and looked at Chen Yue.
Chen Yue blinked and said, “Well… I beat Yu Yun to tears before.”
Chen Mu quickly remembered who Yu Yun was, shook his head and laughed. In fact, he knew that Chen Yue’s temperament would not cause trouble. Even though he had grown up and became more lively than before, like him, he knew how to weigh things. , after all, I was born in a poor family and have experienced ups and downs, knowing that every grain of rice is hard-earned.
The main reason I say this is to know if Chen Yue has been bullied in the Yu family. It seems that he is living a good life, so there is no need for him to think about it. Besides, after this time, not many people in the Yu family will dare to Bullied Chen Yue.
After learning about what happened to Chen Yue during his absence in the inner city.
Xiaohe came to the yard.
“Sister Ning.”
Chen Yue ran out of the house and greeted Xiao He with a smile. When Chen Mu first sent her to the Yu family, she knew nothing here. It was Xiao He who introduced her to Yu Ru and always treated her. take care of.
Xiao He picked up Chen Yue’s little face and rubbed it twice, then looked at Chen Mu and nodded slightly, saying, “The master of the house invites you.”
“Yue’er, I’ll go there first.”
Chen Mu looked calm, said something to Chen Yue, and followed Xiao He out of the yard.
On the way, I asked Xiaohe about Xu Hongyu, but learned that she had left the Yu family and went to the Demon Slayer Division to count her merits. In fact, she was going to exchange for the Bone Forging Pill, while there were no major changes in Yu County yet.
Although Xu Hongyu’s meritorious service is not as many as his, but she rules a whole village, and with the savings she had accumulated earlier and some leftovers, it is still enough to exchange for two Bone Forging Pills. Now that she has experienced this demonic chaos, her energy and blood are stable, and it will not take long for her to You can try bone forging.
soon.
Chen Mu came to the main courtyard to the east of the Yu family.
Xiao He signaled Chen Mu outside the yard to come in, and then stood quietly beside him.
Chen Mu walked into the courtyard with a calm expression, and then he saw a man standing in the courtyard with white temples and wearing a green brocade robe. Needless to say, his identity was none other than the current head of the Yu family, Yu Zuyi.
Yu Zuyi is not only Xu Hongyu’s grandfather, but also the chief of the Salt Affairs Department of Yu County. He has jurisdiction over the salt affairs of a county. His title is the same as the chief of the inner and outer city. In the past, he also served as the chief of the Demon Slayer Division when he was young.
He is also the person with the highest level of strength in the Yu family except for the first-generation great-grandfather. He stands in the perfection of bone forging, masters the two artistic conceptions of Kanshui and Duize, and is a well-known figure in the inner city of Yu County.
“Extra adult.”
Yu Zuyi had already turned around, and now looked at Chen Mu, but there was no majesty of the head of the Yu family in his eyes, but more of the kindness of an older man, and said: “No need to be polite, your sister is practicing martial arts in the Yu family martial arts academy. You and Hong Yu also support each other. We have been a family for a long time. I also know everything. I, my grandfather, will make the decision on your marriage to Hong Yu. “
The head of the Yu family is quite straightforward.
Chen Mu looked at Yu Zuyi, and when he was about to say something, he heard Yu Zuyi continue to say in a calm tone: “In today’s world, one’s background is not important, only what one can do. If you can step into Yi Jin and realize the artistic conception, then He is a figure like Hongyu’s father. He is no longer the same as the millions of common people in this Yu City. He plays an important role no matter where he is. So if you marry Hongyu as your wife, there is no need to change your surname or marry into another family. Your descendants can follow you. “
Is this how Xu Hongyu’s father was treated back then?
Chen Mu couldn’t help but mutter in his heart.
Xu Hongyu can still be the core direct descendant of the Yu family even though her surname is ‘Xu’, not only because her mother is the direct daughter of the head of the family, Yu Zuyi, but more importantly because of her father Xu Yichuan’s talent and status in the Yu family. .
Today, Chen Mu also receives the same treatment.
Even Chen Mu noticed at this time that Xu Hongyu probably didn’t tell Yu Zuyi anything more about him. Otherwise, if Yu Zuyi knew that he not only realized the artistic conception, but also practiced wind and thunder, and the body tempering method had already reached the stage of bone forging, I’m afraid his attitude would have changed. There are more changes to come.
However, Chen Mu had no intention of showing off, so he didn’t take the initiative to mention it.
“but……”
When Yu Zuyi said this, his words fell slightly and he said: “You should already know that when the four sects are about to settle in Yu County, it is an emergency and the Yu family should not be conspicuous. Therefore, your marriage to Hongyu will not be a big deal. Daban, this is for you and the Yu family, do you understand the importance? “
If it were in the past, the marriage of a direct lineage of the Yu family, especially if it was as important as Xu Hongyu, would definitely involve a banquet with guests and a lot of red makeup. However, in these extraordinary times, all conspicuous behavior is prohibited.
Chen Mu shook his head slightly in his heart and said, “I don’t have anything to do with it. I just wronged Hongyu like this.”
Hearing this, Yu Zuyi smiled and said: “Although the Yu family is barely a famous family, it still rose from a humble beginning and started from the world. A hundred years ago, when the first ancestor of the Yu family was young, the sky was like a quilt and the earth was like a quilt. Bed, later became a member of Qixuan Sect, rose up step by step, and finally took root in Yu County. In fact, we are all children of Jianghu, and we don’t need to pay so much attention. If you feel that you have wronged Hongyu, just treat her well in the future. “
Speaking of which.
Yu Zuyi paused again and said: “I heard Hongyu mention that you need the artistic conception map of the Xunfeng lineage, but my Yu family does not have such a map now. At present, we only have the top-grade Kanshui map, as well as Lihuo and Duize. , the rubbing diagram of the three meridians of Genshan. If you want to continue to make progress on the path of the Eight Phases of the Universe, you can try the Lihuo Diagram. If it doesn’t work, you can try the Kanshui Diagram. “
Chen Mu suddenly thought a little when he heard this.
He actually has no idea of cultivating more artistic conceptions at the moment. After all, according to his current understanding, even if he cultivates three artistic conceptions at the same time, if all of them are just the first step, then together they are still not as good as taking a single artistic conception into the third step. Step two.
Therefore, for him at present, focusing on the practice of Zhenlei Tu and moving the Zhenlei artistic conception to the second step as soon as possible is the biggest step to improve his strength.
certainly.
Now he also knows a lot about the artistic conception of Qiankun.
For example, in the artistic conception of Qian and Kun, wind, thunder, and fire belong to “Qian Tian”, and mountains, rivers, and water belong to “Kun Earth”. If you want to practice the artistic conception of Qian Tian, you must cultivate the three phases of wind, thunder, and fire. Likewise, if you want to cultivate the artistic conception of Kun and Earth, you must also It is necessary to master the three phases of mountains, rivers and water.
The reason is,
This is because in the Eight Phase Map of the Universe, the Map of Qian Tian and the Map of Kun are not single maps, but are mainly composed of a “General Map of Qian Tian”, and then the three maps of wind, thunder and fire are combined to form the complete Qian Tian. Picture, it can be said that the six phases of wind, thunder, fire, mountains, rivers and water are themselves included in the heaven and earth and are part of the heaven and earth.
In Yu Zuyi’s opinion, he has grasped the artistic conception of Xunfeng, and Xunfeng is similar to Lihuo, so he was advised to try Lihuo first. If it is really because the quality of Lihuo picture is too poor that it is just a rubbing version and cannot be understood, then go ahead Comprehend the Kanshui diagram.
“I want to try first if I can cultivate a single artistic conception to the second step…”
Chen Mu thought for a while and answered.
Nowadays, he can understand several artistic conceptions of the Yu family at any time, so he doesn’t have to be in such a hurry.
“Have ambition.”
Yu Zuyi smiled kindly, then sighed and said: “It is indeed more difficult to take the second step if you practice multiple artistic conceptions at the same time. In fact, many people are trapped before the threshold of the second step, unable to make any progress at all, and have to go Cultivate a variety of artistic conceptions.”
“But in fact, for the truly top geniuses, it is the same path to cultivate multiple artistic conceptions. In the end, they all take the path of gathering the eight aspects of the universe and touching the heaven and the earth… But this is the most orthodox eight aspects of the universe of the Daxuan court. , is also the most difficult among many artistic conceptions. Even in the heyday of the imperial court, not many people could truly master the Eight Phases and master the artistic conception of the universe. Even if they mastered it, each step forward was equivalent to eight steps for others. It can be said that every step is difficult, and few people can reach the top.”
Chen Mu listened quietly to Yu Zuyi’s statement.
After browsing many classics of the Yu family, he realized that the Eight Phases of the Universe was not the only martial arts artistic conception in the world, but it was the most widely circulated, official and orthodox artistic conception. Of course, it was also the undisputed strongest one. artistic conception.
It’s just that this ‘supreme strength’ does not refer to a single artistic conception, but that one must at least practice Qian Tian or Kun Earth before he can dominate all directions. Only by cultivating the complete Qian Kun artistic conception can he be considered the true master in martial arts in the world. The strongest.
Above the artistic conceptions of ‘Yin and Yang’, ‘Five Elements’ and so on! certainly.
In fact, the artistic conceptions of yin and yang and the five elements are also very difficult. They are also divided into multiple parts. For example, the five elements have five artistic conceptions, and it is necessary to practice one by one to master the complete five elements. The artistic conception of yin and yang also has many extensions. branch.
Including those in the world that focus on the way of swordsmanship, such as the Tianjian Sect, which is the “Idea of Swordsmanship”. There are also many branches such as Heart Sword, Tianjian, etc., and the “Idea of Killing” that focuses on the way of killing.
It’s just that these are basically mastered by major sects and have never been circulated in the world. Unlike the Eight Phase Diagram of the Universe, it has been divided into subdivisions over thousands of years, spread to the people, and has evolved into countless sword techniques.
For the current Chen Mu.
It is to cultivate a single artistic conception to a further level and improve it to a much greater level.
But when the artistic conception is cultivated to the extreme step by step and climbs the third step of the ladder, then the ‘quality’ of the artistic conception itself will be judged against those who are also on the third step.
As for why the artistic conception of Qiankun is recognized as the strongest martial arts in the world, Chen Mu knows that it is the Daxuan Dynasty that is still based in the world!
Daxuan was able to sweep through the wilderness, pacify the world, conquer the world, and finally establish a dynasty that unified the world. It even flourished for nearly a thousand years and suppressed countless sects unable to lift their heads. The source of this was the founder of the country, who had practiced it The artistic conception of the universe, aspire to the top of martial arts!
It’s just that it’s been a thousand years.
There is no such figure in today’s Daxuan Dynasty.
After the third update, the word count is still over 10,000.
