Who is the "young master" in the voice

For the sake of a marriage, he actually forced his family to death

Who is "that guy from Longyuan City"

Chen Xi's mind was thinking wildly. The information revealed in the notes was too obscure, but there were traces to follow. As long as he found an entry point, everything would be easily solved!

In Longyuan City, the only thing that seems to be related to me is... the Su family!

Yes, it must be the Su family of Longyuan City!

An idea flashed in Chen Xi's mind, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

He heard from his grandfather that when he was born, his mother Zuo Qiuxue had made a marriage contract with the head of the Su family in Longyuan City, and it was agreed that Chen Xi would marry Su Yao, the daughter of the head of the Su family, eighteen years later. However, as the Chen family was wiped out and her mother disappeared, when she was four years old, the Su family in Longyuan City sent more than ten Huang Tingjing masters to break the engagement in front of everyone in Songyan City. .

As for being able to influence Songyan City and prompt three Zifu monks to rob and kill their grandfather and younger brother, the Su family of Longyuan City is undoubtedly the most capable!

Yes, that’s definitely the case!

The more he thought about it, the clearer Chen Xi's thoughts became, and he was sure that his guess was accurate.

As for the identity of that "young master", it is easy to explain. In order to prevent himself and his younger brother from escaping from Songyan City, he did not hesitate to set up a dragnet outside Songyan City. Only a powerful force in Songyan City could do such a large-scale feat. arrive.

The purpose of their doing this must be for the marriage of that "young master", maybe to marry with the Su family of Longyuan City, and the key to the marriage is to force themselves and their younger brother to death in exchange!

Thinking of this, Chen Xi felt cold all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. It was enough to break the engagement, but he even forced his family to death. What a vicious method! What a cold heart!

Chen Xi took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and began to think about which force in Songyan City this "young master" was.

Southern Xinjiang was the southernmost territory of the Song Dynasty, covering an area of over a million miles and containing many cities. Songyan City was just an inconspicuous small town in the Southern Xinjiang region, covering an area of only ten thousand miles.

In addition, Songyan City is adjacent to the Nanman Mountains where monsters are rampant, and there are no blessed lands or mineral veins with excellent spiritual energy. It is almost like a barren mountain and a bad water. Therefore, there are only a few big forces entrenched in Songyan City.

As far as Chen Xi knows, Songyan City is now controlled by three major forces, the General's Mansion, the Li Family, and Songyan Academy.

The General's Mansion was a military force of the Song Dynasty stationed in Songyan City. It had strict discipline and took maintaining the order of Songyan City as its own responsibility, and it was aloof from outsiders.

Songyan Academy is a place for the students of Songyan City to practice. They accept disciples, preach and solve their doubts. There are many Zifu monks in the academy, but Songyan Academy never participates in power struggles and behaves extremely low-key.

Only the Li family is the family power entrenched in Songyan City. There are no less than ten Zifu monks in the family. They are so powerful that after the Chen family was destroyed, they became the number one family in Songyan City and became the most powerful family in Songyan City.

Chen Xi's eyes were firmly fixed on the Li family.

Among these three forces, the one that hates his Chen family the most is undoubtedly the Li family. Before the Chen family was destroyed, the two families were sworn enemies and fought endlessly.

Even his grandfather Chen Tianli once suspected that the Li family was involved in the destruction of the Chen family.

"Having the strength to lay a dragnet outside Songyan City, and having a grudge against my own Chen family, that "young master" should be a member of the Li family!"

At this point, all the clues have been sorted out. Chen Xi couldn't help but let out a long breath and murmured to himself: "Grandpa, haven't you always been suffering from not knowing who the enemy of our Chen family is? Don't worry. , your grandson has already grasped an important clue. When your grandson becomes stronger, he will avenge you! Avenge the thousands of members of our Chen clan!"

"Brother, have you guessed who the enemy is?" Chen Hao raised his face with hatred in his eyes.

Chen Xi shook his head. Before he was unable to destroy the Li family, telling his younger brother Chen Hao about this would be harmful rather than beneficial.

"Xiao Hao, since you have decided to practice the left-handed sword, work hard. When you become stronger, I will take you to kill people and kill your enemies!"

Chen Xi patted his younger brother's shoulder and said calmly: "I will work hard and become stronger, and I will never let you suffer any injustice in the future."

Chen Hao nodded fiercely: "Brother, for grandpa and for our Chen family, let's work hard together!"

"good!"

The two brothers looked at each other with the same determined expressions.

In the following days, apart from making talismans to earn Yuan Stones, Chen Xi spent almost all of his time on cultivation. Although his cultivation had been stuck at the third level of Xiantian for five years, he was not discouraged, but seemed to be going crazy. It seems that I have to practice hard, forget about food and sleep, and refuse to waste even a little bit of time.

Only by persevering can we see hope!

Chen Xi was silent and dull, and had a stubborn and paranoid temperament. This was what he thought and what he did.

Chen Hao has also changed. Due to the loss of his right hand, almost all the swordsmanship he had practiced before was abolished. Practicing swordsmanship with his left hand will undoubtedly mean starting from scratch.

He worked hard to adapt to his left hand, worked hard to adjust his rhythm with the sword, and solidified the foundation of the left-hand sword bit by bit.

In the morning sun and under the cover of night, you can see his thin figure sweating and practicing his sword hard!

Chen Hao's aptitude is already very good, and his foundation was laid very solidly by his grandfather. In less than ten days, he has become completely familiar with using the sword with his left hand. Because of his concentration, his swordsmanship has improved to a higher level than before.

What is particularly worth mentioning is that on the eighth day of hard training, Chen Hao broke through the acquired Dzogchen realm in one fell swoop and successfully advanced to the innate realm!

His advancement speed is so fast that it won't be impossible for him to surpass his brother Chen Xi in a short time.

Chen Xi was naturally pleasantly surprised by this, and at the same time he felt an invisible pressure. His younger brother had advanced to the innate level. When would he be able to break through the third level of innate state

However, although his realm is still stagnant, Chen Xi has gained something else. With the Yuan Stones he earned from making talismans these days, he has completely paid off the one hundred Yuan Stones he owed to Uncle Zhang, and also gained a little more. The rest made him feel much better.

He calculated that the yuan stones he earned from making talismans every day, excluding daily expenses, could save four yuan stones every day. Originally, he planned to accumulate enough Yuan Stones to buy a book on the production of second-grade talismans, but in order to improve his realm faster, he decided to use the Yuan Stones for cultivation.

For Chen Xi, who is used to living in poverty, using Yuan Stone to practice is simply a luxury. After all, in order to maintain his livelihood over the years, he has racked his brains to calculate every Yuan Stone carefully, and he can't wait to spend the Yuan Stone. Break into two pieces and use.

However, in order to improve his realm, he can no longer think so much.

The real energy in Chen Xi's body can only support him to make thirty talismans a day and earn up to ten yuan stones. But once his realm body improves and his real energy skyrockets, he can make more talismans and earn more yuan. stone.

Therefore, improving your realm is a top priority!

After all, the spiritual energy in the outside world is too thin. Only by earning more Yuan Stones and using them to practice can he and his brother Chen Hao become stronger.

With such a plan, Chen Xi gave half of the remaining four Yuan Stones every day to his younger brother, and kept half for himself to practice.

However, what left Chen Xi speechless was that more than ten days had passed, and even if he used Yuan stones to practice, the true energy in his body had not increased at all.

Could it be that this is what he has been doing all his life

At night, Chen Xi sat cross-legged on the bedside, silent. Even with his stubborn and tenacious temperament, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

When he is upset, Chen Xi is used to meditating and practicing. Only practicing can make him forget everything.

By running the "Purple Sky Technique", the external spiritual energy turns into wisps of true energy, flowing through the meridians of the body. After circulating for eighteen times, it is slowly injected into the Dantian.

In the innate realm, every time you advance one step further, a cloud condensed with true essence will appear in your Dantian, which is called the Foundation Building Cloud Ladder. Until nine clouds are condensed, you can open up the Zi Mansion and become a Zi Mansion with Tao Foundation to officially enter the Immortal Mansion. Mansion monk.

The Zixiao Kung Fu is divided into eighteen levels. It is a method passed down by the Chen family. Chen Xi has practiced it since he was a child. Now he has reached the thirteenth level. He has the innate third-level cultivation, and three pieces of purple have condensed in his Dantian. The clouds float in the dantian, absorbing the traces of true energy coming from the meridians all over the body.

Click!

After a long time, when the true energy in his body was sufficient, Chen Xi finished his work and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard an extremely subtle cracking sound. Although the sound was small, it seemed extremely clear in the silent night.

After looking for the name, his eyes soon fell on a longevity lock hanging close to his chest. This was worn by his mother Zuo Qiu Xue around his neck when he was born, which meant that he would grow up safely without disaster.

This longevity lock is also the only thing Chen Xi owns related to his mother, and he cherishes it extremely. However, at this moment, many cobweb-like cracks quietly appeared on the surface of the longevity lock, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity in his heart.

"What's going on? How come the longevity lock has cracks for no reason?"

Chen Xi stretched out his hand to touch the longevity lock, but unexpectedly, as soon as his fingertips touched the surface of the longevity lock, countless cracks were like wildly growing weeds, suddenly covering the entire lock surface, and then after a crisp ding, the longevity lock The surface of the lock shattered into countless fragments, which scattered all over the chest, revealing a dark jade pendant!

There is a jade pendant hidden in the longevity lock

Chen Xi felt that his brain was a little exhausted, and he looked at the jade pendant blankly. It was about the size of a dragon's eye, round and translucent, pitch black, like a black pearl of excellent quality.

Could it be that this is a gift left to me by my mother? But if that was the case, why would she hide it in her longevity lock

Buzz!

Just when Chen Xi was confused, a simple and melodious chant sounded faintly, like spring water flowing in a stream, light and sweet. Along with the sound, a dazzling white light suddenly shot out from the surface of the jade pendant!

After a moment, billions of white lights scattered from the jade pendant, completely illuminating the entire room. The white lights rotated and dispersed like mist, like a dream.

Chen Xi felt as if he was in a dream. Just when he was at a loss, the white light suddenly rolled violently in front of his eyes. Gradually, a woman in white clothes condensed by light and shadow appeared out of thin air!

This woman's white clothes fluttered, her features were picturesque, beautiful and elegant, her dark eyes were large and clear, exuding a sense of agility and naughtiness.

Seeing her, Chen Xi suddenly felt a strange yet familiar feeling in his heart, and felt a long-lost affinity. He couldn't help but be curious, who is this woman, and how could she have such a subtle feeling in him

"Well, dear son, we finally meet again, mother and son!"

The woman in white clasped her hands behind her back, winked at Chen Xi mischievously, and spoke with a smile. The clear and sweet sound was like the tinkling of spring water, lively and lively.

Hearing this, Chen Xi's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the woman in white with horror, a look of disbelief on his face, and he no longer looked as calm and indifferent as before.

She...she is his mother Zuo Qiuxue
