Ever since Teng Qingshan returned to the Xingyi Gate with two heaven-level secret books, he began to retreat regularly.
Each retreat generally takes about a month. Even if you come out for three to five days, deal with some Xingyimen matters, spend time with your wife and children, and then retreat again... This frequency even surprised his wife Li Jun. After all, If there is no gain from retreat, continuing to retreat forcibly will not benefit but will affect the state of mind.
Xingyi Gate, in Donghua Garden.
Li Jun was standing by the pond, sprinkling some bait for the fish in the pond, a group of fish all scrambled to eat, and sometimes some fish jumped out of the water.
"Ma'am, the sect master hasn't left the customs yet." Beside Li Jun is her personal maid named Qiu Ju.
"Well, it may take half a month." Li Jun shook her head.
Qiu Ju was also at the side, chatting with Li Jun.
"Boom~~"
The two doors of the practice room not far away were slowly opened, which made Li Jun turn her head suddenly, and saw a person walking out of the door of the practice room.
"Qingshan." Li Jun ran over in surprise.
"Xiaojun." Teng Qingshan's face was full of smiles.
"This time is much faster than in the past. Qingshan, you are smiling all over your face again. You must have gained a lot, right? Why, have you broken through to the realm of the void?" Li Jun has no 'field' and cannot sense the changes in Teng Qingshan's aura. .
"Such a breakthrough?"
Teng Qingshan smiled, and at the same time he swiped lightly with his left hand, as if spreading thousands of nectar, the surrounding space was filled with the breath of life, "This time, I realized the 'way of life', now 'the two ways of life and death' I understand everything, and being able to understand the two ways of life and death is also my understanding of the five elements."
The fusion of gold, fire and some 'water' forms the 'way of death', which is the way of destruction.
The combination of wood, soil and some 'water' is the 'way of life'.
It has been a full year since he fought against Emperor Yu's 'Huang Tianqin'. During this year, Teng Qingshan felt that he was making progress almost every time he retreated. Until today, he finally realized the way of life , understanding the way of life and death did not increase his strength.
"For the five elements, it is very close to the 'circle' state. In fact, I can feel now that I am only a little bit away from the realm of the void."
"After I realized the way of life and death, I wanted to continue to retreat and step into the realm of the void in one go. However, I just realized the way of life and death, and my mood was wrong and I couldn't sink." Teng Qingshan shook his head, "It's still Wait for a few days of rest, then meditate carefully, work hard, and break through to the void in one go."
Haste makes waste.
This kind of realm improvement is not something that can be achieved just by thinking about it.
"Where are Hong Wu and Lin Lin?" Teng Qingshan frowned, "Not here?"
"They are in Yong'an County." Li Jun replied.
"Um."
Since the last time he felt that there was a conspiracy involved in the interception and killing of the Neijiaquan disciples, Teng Qingshan was cautious and ordered his children to stay in Dayan Mountain or go to Yong'an County! Except for these two places, other parties are absolutely not allowed to go until the crisis is resolved.
Dayan Mountain is the base camp of Tengqing Mountain.
And Yong'an County is the core of Guiyuanzong, and Yunmeng God of War 'Mu Tao' is also sitting there, so Teng Qingshan is naturally relieved.
…
The afternoon when Teng Qingshan left the customs.
"Master, master." Second disciple Yang Dong hurried over.
Teng Qingshan was sitting by the pond, drinking tea, watching the fish in the pond.
"A-Dong, why is it so urgent?" Teng Qingshan frowned. Every time after leaving the customs, Yang Dong usually chooses a time to report to Teng Qingshan what happened for nearly a month, rarely in such a hurry.
"Master." Yang Dong continued, "I heard that Master is leaving the customs, so I came here immediately. There is indeed an important matter now."
"Say." Teng Qingshan frowned slightly.
"Two days ago, our Xingyimen searched for 'Gong Yu' throughout Kyushu for a year, and finally someone discovered that this Gong Yu was hiding in a small city in Youzhou, northeast of China." Yang Dong said.
"Gong Yu?" Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up.
This traitor disciple is indeed a thorn in Teng Qingshan's heart! This first traitor disciple would not be caught, and it would have an impact on the sect's prestige.
"Did you catch it!" Teng Qingshan asked repeatedly.
"I have already ordered people to arrest them with all my strength." Yang Dong continued, "Master, please rest assured that around that small town, a large number of people from my Xingyi Sect rushed over. Moreover, the matter of arresting Gong Yu was in Youzhou. With the help of Tianshen Palace, I believe that Gong Yu will definitely not be able to escape."
Offering a reward in Kyushu, Xingyimen naturally wants to arrange everything with the major sects.
"Okay, this Gong Yu must be caught." Teng Qingshan said solemnly.
"Disciple understands." Yang Dong's teeth itch from early anger.
The traitorous sect disciple has been hiding for a year without being caught. If he escapes again this time, he, the acting sect master, will lose face even more.
…
three days later.
In Donghua Garden, Teng Qingshan's family of four gathered together.
"Are you two willing to come back?" Teng Qingshan looked at his son and daughter with a smile.
"Father, we're not going to play, we're busy with business." Hong Lin said repeatedly.
"You are the most cunning." Teng Qingshan smiled, and then his eyes fell on his son Hong Wu, "Hong Wu, how are you getting along with that little girl in Yong'an County this time? If you are both interested, I will send someone to come to propose marriage. Also discuss with this Lei family, when will you get married."
"Father, Xiaoru's filial piety period hasn't expired yet," Hong Wu said repeatedly.
"Oh, look at my brain, I have forgotten." Teng Qingshan nodded with a smile.
Son and daughter are all grown up now.
Naturally, Teng Qingshan is very concerned about the lifelong events of his children. After all, marriage is an important event that cannot be sloppy, but now Teng Qingshan secretly ordered someone to investigate her various backgrounds and things about a girl that his son 'Hong Wu' likes. clearly.
Although this Lei family is not a big family and has a small amount of property, in Teng Qingshan's eyes, money is nothing at all.
The family background is clean and the girl has good morals, that's enough.
"It's better that Hongwu doesn't let me worry about it." Teng Qingshan thought to himself, "If you find a girl, you can always find the right one." Today's Teng family is definitely the most powerful family in Kyushu, and many people are trying to join Tengjiazhuang, not to mention, how many people will marry Teng Qingshan's son.
Therefore, Teng Qingshan did not dare to be careless.
"Linlin, this child is really..." Teng Qingshan sighed secretly in his heart.
The young man named 'Wei Jiang' whom I met back then is now an elite figure who is being cultivated by Xingyimen. Unfortunately, Lin Lin was only curious about Wei Jiang at the beginning, and after entering Xingyimen, Wei Jiang was even more experienced in cultivation. Jiaquan was so insane that he didn't take the initiative to contact Linlin at all.
Naturally, there was no relationship between the two parties at all, and the relationship between them can only be regarded as a brother and sister relationship.
"Could it be that my daughter, like Pei San and his daughters, will never marry?" Teng Qingshan secretly said, "However, I heard from Xiaojun that her master Pei Xuelian seems to have been cheated by a man, so she will never marry for the rest of her life. , I don't want Linlin to do the same." While Teng Qingshan was thinking, Li Jun started talking with his children.
"Mother, let me tell you something." Hong Wu said suddenly.
"What's the matter?" Li Jun asked in surprise.
"Actually, my sister also has a sweetheart now." Hong Wu said with a chuckle.
"ah!"
Both Teng Qingshan and Li Jun were taken aback. They looked at their daughter Hong Lin in amazement. Hong Lin's face was flushed red, but she still pretended to be okay. First, she glanced at her younger brother Hong Wu, gave a warning look, and then laughed and said: "Father, mother, there are not many people in this world that I can admire. Don't worry, if you want to marry me, at least you can defeat me, otherwise, I will look down on you."
"Right now, it's just a few chats, and I haven't written a word yet." Hong Lin said confidently.
Teng Qingshan and Li Jun looked at each other and smiled.
"Well, let's order someone to investigate carefully later, who is the man who got close to Hong Lin." Teng Qingshan thought to himself, he dare not be careless now.
"Huh? A-Dong?" Teng Qingshan clearly felt Yang Dong's aura, and he was rushing towards Donghuayuan.
"A-Dong is here." Teng Qingshan said.
"Second Senior Brother, why are you here?" Hong Wu and Hong Lin also asked in surprise, then looked towards the door, and soon, Yang Dong's figure appeared outside the door.
"Master, master." Yang Dong shouted from afar.
"Why, did you catch Gong Yu?" Teng Qingshan asked repeatedly, this is what he is most concerned about now.
"That Gong Yu who betrayed the sect?" Hong Wu asked in surprise.
"Did you find that bastard?" Hong Lin stared.
Yang Dong looked at Teng Qingshan, showing a bitter expression, and then handed out the secret letter in his hand: "Master, all the information is here." Seeing Yang Dong's expression, Teng Qingshan felt that something was wrong, he frowned and took the information, carefully flipped through.
"Second senior brother, tell me quickly." Hong Lin couldn't help urging.
Yang Dong stood aside, and said to Hong Lin, Hong Wu, and Li Jun: "Last night, our people found Gong Yu's hiding place, and we surrounded the three floors inside and outside. There is nowhere for Gong Yu to escape, but , He didn’t run away at all, when we rushed in to capture him, this Gong Yu actually poured kerosene on his body before we arrived, and when we rushed in, he set himself on fire.”
"Still roaring, saying..."
"Teng Qingshan, you don't want to get my intact body." Yang Dong couldn't help but glance at Teng Qingshan after saying this.
Hong Wu and Hong Lin next to him shuddered when they thought of a person who burned himself with fire, and then yelled such a sentence, imagining the ferocious and resentful expression.
"This man is crazy."
"How old is Gong Yu, how can he have any enmity with his father?" Hong Wu and Hong Lin couldn't help but ask.
Teng Qingshan looked at the line on the secret letter.
***, and also won't get a complete corpse, so Teng Qingshan can't prove at all that this corpse belongs to 'Gong Yu'.
"The one who really has enmity with me is of course not this young man, but his father, or his master! Or, a sect!" Teng Qingshan said slowly.
