In Qingzhou, after the heavy snowfall, the sky and the earth are covered with silver.
On a certain wasteland beside the official road, Teng Qingshan and his caravan were resting here, because there was no wilderness inn around, they could only drink water and gnaw on flatbread.
"Drink!" "Ha!" A boy was holding a wooden stick, and kept swinging it forward.
Teng Qingshan, Lao Zhang and others were standing beside them, leaning on the cart to eat steamed buns, while watching the child practice with a smile.
"Xiao He is really serious." Lao Zhang sighed.
Teng Qingshan smiled and shouted: "Xiaohe, stop practicing, rest for a while. Come, eat some steamed buns, I still have pickles."
"The master told me to practice a thousand times. If I don't practice now, I won't have time to sleep at night." The boy sucked his nose that was red from the cold, and didn't listen to Teng Qingshan and the others at all. Next to him was his mother, who watched but didn't speak. After staying for a long time, I couldn't swing the stick anymore, so I stopped.
"Come on, He'er, sit down." His mother helped rub her son's arms.
At this moment, the savage who had already changed into a new suit came over not far away.
"Master." The boy even stood up.
"Well, eat this chicken leg, it's just baked and still hot." The savage handed a big chicken leg to the boy.
"Thank you, master." The boy said in surprise, connected the chicken leg, and took two big bites.
"Mom, you eat." The boy ate half of it and handed it to his mother.
Teng Qingshan looked at this scene with a smile. The savage, the woman and the child had joined the caravan for ten days. During the ten days, Teng Qingshan and the others also knew the relationship between these three people. He', and that woman, Teng Qingshan and others all called him 'Mrs. Tan'.
As for the savage, his name was 'Ma Jinxiao'.
The boy named 'Tan He' and his mother escaped for their lives. Fortunately, he met the master 'Ma Jinxiao' and saved his life.
"Brother Ma, come over and have a few sips of wine to warm up your body." Old Zhang shouted.
Ma Jinxiao also walked over with a smile, took the wine pouch thrown by Lao Zhang, and took a sip: "Well, the wine is good and comfortable."
"Brother Ma, I still don't understand... A few days ago, this kid Xiaohe wanted to worship you as his teacher, but you refused. Yesterday, this kid knelt down all night in winter, and it snowed all night. My heart hurts. You only agree to that. I didn’t say that, you are torturing this child too much.” Lao Zhang sighed.
The bearded young man 'Heizi' next to him said: "Old Zhang, you don't understand now! Master recruits apprentices, of course you have to test your apprentices!"
Ma Jinxiao shook his head and said, "No, actually I didn't want to accept disciples."
"Oh?" Teng Qingshan also looked at Ma Jinxiao.
"But I figured it out, and I really like Xiao He." Ma Jinxiao glanced at the boy who was staying with his mother, "Xiao He also respects his mother... Actually, a seven or eight-year-old child whose family is ruined and whose face is He can still stand in front of his mother against robbers and robbers. After being rescued by me, he can be so persistent in asking for a teacher... This perseverance alone is enough to be my disciple."
Ma Jinxiao looked at Tan He with a misty look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about other things.
"This is a man with a story." After ten days of contact, Teng Qingshan also had some understanding of Ma Jinxiao.
At least, from Teng Qingshan's point of view, Ma Jinxiao's strength ranks among the top ten in the "District Ranking", absolutely no problem!
Teng Qingshan understood...
Anyone who can be ranked in the top ten of the "District List" has extremely high perseverance and talent. The reason why they can't step into the innate realm is because they don't know anything about 'rejuvenation'. Like practicing swords and knives all day, it is not good for the "God", but will consume the "God" of the human body.
It is not easy for a 'god' to be strong enough to reach the innate threshold.
…
In Qingzhou, sometimes all the way to the north, sometimes to the northwest, and a few days later.
The sky is blue, as clean as a porcelain plate, like a whole.
On the long official road, a caravan is advancing.
The red fire horse was strolling easily.
Teng Qingshan sat on the horse with a smile on his face, looking very relaxed. But no one knows... In Teng Qingshan's state, he was actually practicing immediately. Just because he was immersed in the state of oneness, Teng Qingshan felt joy in his heart, and a smile would naturally appear on his face.
"Uncle Qin! Uncle Qin!" Suddenly, a childish voice came from the side.
Teng Qingshan turned his head and saw that it was Tan He who was sitting on the cart.
"Xiaohe, what's the matter?" Teng Qingshan smiled.
"Uncle, why didn't you talk all the way? We're going to Huyue County soon, everyone is very happy." Tan He said.
"This journey is very tiring. Uncle Qin and I don't talk much, we just rest." Teng Qingshan looked at the north with a smile, and in the distance, he could already vaguely see the city wall connecting the north and south, which was tens of miles wide. A city wall, people can not see the end at a glance.
It seems that a terrible monster is entrenched there.
"Oh." Tan He nodded suddenly.
"Brother Qin." The bearded youth 'Heizi' shouted next to him, "The county town of Huyue County is ahead, and it is also the last stop of our caravan this time. When we arrive at the county town, we all have to separate! Brother Qin ... We have been on this journey for a month, and in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet Brother Qin again."
"Well, Qin Wei is going back to his hometown in Yanzhou. We are in Qingzhou...Qin Wei, we brothers must have a good drink at noon today." Lao Zhang shouted.
"Okay, today, we won't go home until we're drunk!" During this month, Teng Qingshan also had a deep friendship with these businessmen.
And in the future, I'm afraid it's really hard to see each other again.
Originally, there were five merchants in Teng Qingshan's group, two of them left the team in other cities in Qingzhou. Both Lao Zhang and Heizi now live in the county town of Huyue County. Only then did they reach the last stop. The entire caravan, at least half of the merchants, was missing.
Not long after, Teng Qingshan and the others arrived at the gate of the south city of Huyue County.
In fact, Teng Qingshan discovered from a long distance that there were a large number of soldiers and guards standing on the city wall of Huyue County, and the end could not be seen at a glance. Even at the gate of the city, more than a hundred soldiers and guards gathered to check everyone who entered the city.
"What's the purpose of such a strict investigation?" Teng Qingshan wondered, "No way, it's to find me?" Teng Qingshan didn't even find the Qinghu Island site in Yangzhou, and he will investigate at the gate of the city. so strict. It should be noted that the innately strong can easily escape over the city wall.
Therefore, it is useless to investigate at the gate of the city.
"Why are there so many guards at the gate of the city?" Heizi muttered.
"It's not the same in other cities along the way. I'm afraid something happened." Lao Zhang frowned.
Teng Qingshan and the others lined up, advancing towards the city gate one by one.
"Hey, Mr. He."
"Brother Yan, these are idle businessmen who went out to do business together. Everyone came all the way from Yangzhou, and it took two or three months to go back and forth. They are exhausting, so there is no need to investigate deeply." The caravan organizer said very casually. Said, the officer of the military guard also waved at the military guard, "Brothers, hurry up."
Suddenly, the speed of entering the city accelerated.
When they arrived at Teng Qingshan and the others, the guards only took a few glances and let Teng Qingshan and the others go in.
"Everyone, we, He's Firm, went to Yangzhou this time, and we traveled thousands of miles back and forth. Everyone has come back well, which is a happy event. Haha... I believe that many people want to celebrate today, so we will break up here Go." The organizer shouted loudly.
There was hearty laughter all of a sudden, and many people left one by one.
"Brother Ma." Lao Zhang shouted enthusiastically, "You take the two of them with you, and you probably have to find a place to rest. Don't worry, I know this county very well, so I'm not in a hurry to find it now. Let's go first. I have arranged for you well for lunch, after dinner, and where to sleep."
"Then I will trouble you, Old Zhang." Ma Jinxiao also laughed.
Lao Zhang looked at Teng Qingshan: "Qin Wei, let's go, you are rushing to your hometown Yanzhou, you won't leave today, will you? Come with us to have lunch... Take a good rest for a day, and talk about other things tomorrow."
"Okay." Teng Qingshan also laughed.
Immediately, under the leadership of Lao Zhang and Hei Zi, several people came to a restaurant with a good environment. Lao Zhang treated the guests and directly chose a private room on the second floor.
Together with the child 'Tan He', six people sat around.
Lao Zhang ordered some dishes familiarly, and praised them as the famous dishes of Huyue County: "Well, well... this wine, a pot is too slow, just order a jar! How many of us can drink wine today! Have a drink."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, wait for a while, the food will be served right away." The waiter obviously knew Lao Zhang very well.
Not long after, the food and wine were served.
Everyone eat comfortably and drink happily!
Of course I am happy to be able to return safely after traveling thousands of miles. That Heizi was still talking excitedly about his wife and his son. Lao Zhang also looked proud, talking about his children.
Teng Qingshan watched the busy traffic on the street outside through the window next to him.
"It's already the twelfth lunar month, and in a few days, it will be the New Year Festival. I don't know my parents, how are they doing now!" Under this atmosphere, Teng Qingshan missed his parents a little, and shook his head secretly, "Now I, in Being around my parents will only bring disasters to my parents, but no benefit! Let's practice quietly, at my current speed, within ten years, I will definitely be able to reach the Xiantian Golden Core."
Teng Qingshan is very confident.
Understand the secrets of rejuvenating the mind and strengthening the mind, and practice on the horse during the day, and practice the three postures at night. Teng Qingshan's 'god' is improving continuously at an astonishing speed.
Only half a month after realizing it, Teng Qingshan obviously felt that the 'god' had become much stronger.
"Within two years, I will be able to reach the congenital solid elixir. Within ten years, I will be able to achieve the congenital golden elixir! With my physical strength and my inner strength, I can at least be invincible in the virtual realm." Teng Qingshan is very confident that if other people know , I am afraid I will be petrified. Zhuge Yuanhong did not reach innate talent until he was thirty.
But Teng Qingshan said that he, before the age of thirty, reached the innate golden core!
"Qin Wei, what are you thinking about? Come on, let's have a drink." Lao Zhang put his arm on Teng Qingshan's shoulder and said.
The voice just fell—
"Boom~~" A strong explosion sound came from afar.
Teng Qingshan even clearly felt that the whole restaurant trembled slightly.
"This explosion is very far away, it should be dozens of miles away! But it can be transmitted here, and it has such power..." Teng Qingshan couldn't help standing up in shock.
"What happened?"
Everyone else at the wine table also ran to the window and looked out.
