Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 332 Retreat and Infiltration

In six years, he went from the tenth level of cultivation to the Qianyang realm.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hou Yuxiao's cultivation level is growing at a rate that is shocking to the world.

Everyone in the world knows that the Five Tigers of the Hou family have rare talents in the world. This is true. Regardless of Hou Yuxiao, Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling, and Hou Yujie can cultivate from Kaishen to Yuandan realm in seven years, which is enough to look down upon the world's elites. .

As for the fifth old Hou Yuduan, his current martial arts cultivation is at the second level of Yuan Dan, and Hou Yuxiao is not sure about his Confucianism and Taoism cultivation, but he knows that when the five of them really compete for talent, Hou Yuduan is definitely the undisputed number one.

Even today, Hou Yuxiao still firmly believes in this.

His talent should be on the same level as Hou Yucheng and the others. The reason why he can practice faster than the three of them is due to the third function of the Divine Lotus, swallowing power.

In just seven years, the territory controlled by the Hou family has expanded several times, and there has been a lot of bloodshed. Others may have a very general concept, but Hou Yuxiao knows it very well, because those who were defeated and eliminated by the Hou family Almost most of his enemies have turned into nutrients that he uses to improve his cultivation.

The way of the sky is more than damage but not enough to make up for.

With his cultivation improving so quickly, even though Hou Yuxiao's body is currently not in any condition, he still feels a little panicked in his heart.

The cultivation level that people have practiced for decades or even hundreds of years was swallowed up by him in one day. This method of improving cultivation level can be said to have no bottom line. In the past few years, the Hou family has encountered too many things, and the enemy It was too powerful, and he used this function without restraint. Hou Yuxiao was worried that if things continued like this, he might eventually become a slave to the divine lotus.

In the main hall of Hou Mansion, Hou Yuxiao sat cross-legged and looked at the black and white divine lotus floating quietly in the sea of ​​​​consciousness. There were twelve petals, six white and six black, five of which were dim and unlit. Among the seven petals, three white and four black petals are shining brightly.

Transformation, small return elixir, swallowing power, promotion of skills, concealing all things, improving strength in a short time, enslaving others, these are the functions brought to him by the three white, four black and seven lit up divine lotus petals. Looking back now , Hou Yuxiao discovered that any of these seven functions can be said to be completely contrary to common sense and simply defy the heavens.

He has now reached the realm of Qian Yang and can see Yin and Yang. He is at the stage of first understanding the rules of all things in the world. His view of the divine lotus is qualitatively different from the past.

When he was weak in the past, he regarded Shenlian as his and Hou's greatest support.

Looking back now, he suddenly realized that he had unknowingly regarded Shenlian not only as his support, but also as a kind of spiritual sustenance. Even all his behavioral standards were unknowingly based on Shenlian. The plan is in progress.

Accumulating good deeds and obtaining karma, his view of good and evil has long been subtly transformed by Shenlian. Whether it is when killing people or helping others, his heart has become indifferent, without the slightest emotion of a normal person. Everything is in his eyes. It also becomes a numerical value.

"If you think about it carefully, all these changes in me started happening when Sikong Yue handed me the first golden page of merit!"

Good deeds: 81902109
Karma: 52190210
Hou Yuxiao looked at the golden page of merit and virtue above Shenlian. The two strings of huge values, one white and one black, were very eye-catching, but he didn't feel any joy in his heart.

In his hand, he held the second golden page of merit sent by Sikong Yue, his expression gradually became tangled, and his heart was struggling even more.

Sikong Yue must know about Shenlian!

This woman just knew that he couldn't help but use the second one, so she deliberately asked Peng Yuhu to send it to him. The first gold page of merit embodied his divine lotus function data, and it had already made him dependent on the second one. What effect will the second one have? If he uses it, will he become more dependent on the divine lotus in the future...

More importantly, Sikong Yue must have a deep purpose in doing this.

Will these two golden pages become Sikong Yue's trick against her in the future?

These issues are all points that Hou Yuxiao struggles with.

The divine lotus was his greatest support, and this golden page of merit happened to be a tool to help him understand how to use the divine lotus. It was difficult for him to resist the temptation and not use it.

"I have already used one, and it has become Sikong Yue's hand. Even if I don't use this second one, I can't change anything. If I die, I will die. The worst I can do is stay away from her when I see her in the future, and don't follow her. touch!"

Soon, Hou Yuxiao had the answer in his heart. His eyes sank, and he absorbed the golden page of merit into his sea of ​​consciousness, and began to merge with the one in the sea of ​​consciousness.

This round of retreat, Hou Yuxiao has too many problems to solve, such as too fast cultivation, the Golden Page of Merit, the eighth function of the Divine Lotus, strengthening his martial arts methods, etc. It is destined to take a long time, but fortunately now The surrounding environment was relatively stable, and Hou Yucheng and the others were handling matters within the clan, so he could rest assured.

Of course, this does not mean that Hou Yuxiao will not care about anything after retreating.

Not to mention family affairs, he and Zhao Qingxue had only been married for one day, and they couldn't go out in seclusion. That was too much for Zhao Qingxue, so every three to five days, if there was nothing new, he would come out to accompany Zhao Qingxue and take her with him. Getting to know the family well and even handling some clan affairs together helped her integrate into the family as quickly as possible.

During the time that Hou Yuxiao stayed in the family, not only did the Hou family gain rare peace, but the previous seven years could also be regarded as an extremely precious peaceful time for Hexi. There were more than 2000 million living creatures in Hexi. It was indeed a good opportunity to recuperate and recuperate.

Of course, this is only for the vast majority of ordinary people in Hexi.

Hexi's infiltration and investigation into southern Xinjiang, under the personal command of Hou Yuduan, has been launched in full swing. People from Qinglonghui, Shangxiahoumen, and Zhaoyang Escort Bureau began to hide their identities and frequently travel in and out of southern Xinjiang.

Time passed by slowly, and everything unfolded in an orderly manner.

........................

July of the year 1331 of the New Yu Calendar, Qingmiao City, Chili Prefecture, Southern Xinjiang

Strictly speaking, Southern Xinjiang belongs to outside the territory, not the territory of China. However, due to its frequent exchanges with Yongzhou, the living habits of the Wumiao people are not much different from those of the Yongzhou people, so it does not give people a strong feeling of being outside the territory. Over time, many people People also regard southern Xinjiang as the territory of China.

More than 400 years ago, the Southern Xinjiang Temple was at the peak of its strength and had the ambition to invade Yongzhou from the north. As a result, it was defeated by the united Rakshasa Holy Cult army. Not only did it lose most of its territory, but even the foundation of the temple, Chilitian Barrier, was destroyed by Sikong Xing. The continent was destroyed.

The Chi Litian Barrier, a sacred object used by the Five Miaos in southern Xinjiang to cultivate ethnic groups, was destroyed by Sikong Xingzhou. The temple has never recovered since then. It no longer has the capital to fight against the Rakshasa Holy Cult, so it can only be honest. Really shrinking into a corner.

The people in southern Xinjiang are all of Miao descent. There are five major branches, black, white, blue, red and purple, each with a population of tens of millions. Each branch occupies a large city and is named after its own ethnic group. For example, the Qing Miao people are called Qing Miao City, and the Red Miao people are called Qing Miao City. It’s called Hongmiao City, and so are the others.

Although there is competition between the five Miao people, they all respect the temple, and the ownership of the temple is determined by their strength. There is a rotation every 50 years. The last time the Miao people won the first place in 1300, so now the temple, In Qingmiao City, Qingxuan, the leader of the Qingmiao tribe, is the current temple lord.

On the third floor of an inconspicuous residence in Qingmiao City, Hou Yuduan, who was dressed in white, listened to Cheng Yunye's description behind him, gently waved the folding fan in his hand, walked to the window sill, pointed to the tall hall not far away, and asked softly: " What do you mean by the ownership of this temple? Does it refer to which city the temple was built in, or is there some other iconic object?"

Cheng Yunye replied: "It belongs to the Chi Litian Barrier. According to the information, the Chi Litian Barrier should be hidden in some precious artifact. It is rotated every 50 years. Who has the strongest strength?" Whoever is stronger will be in charge of that artifact and will be the master of the temple for the next 50 years."

"Then, wasn't the Chi Litian enchantment destroyed by Sikong Xingzhou?"

"That's true, but according to my experience in southern Xinjiang in the past few years, the Wu Miao ethnic group, from top experts to ordinary people, seems to have a strong belief in the Chi Li Tian Barrier, just like many of us in Yongzhou The common people have an almost unconditional fanaticism towards Rakshasa gods, so who is in charge of that artifact is very important to them, even if the Chi Litian barrier is no longer useful, it is still the same!"

Hou Yuduan nodded, turned to look at Cheng Yunye, and asked softly: "You have been here for four years. You should have more than this news to tell me, right?"

The five brothers of the nine divisions of the Hou family's inner court each have their own priorities. Cheng Yunye is the head of the Yinhu stall of the lower Hou family. Strictly speaking, he is not counted as one of his subordinates. He is a subordinate of the third sister Hou Yuling. However, this time Cheng Yunye sent a message to the third sister specifically. , asked him to come over specially, obviously there was some important news to say.

Cheng Yunye took out a map from his pocket and spread it directly on the table:

"Fifth Master, please take a look. The entire southern border is about [-] miles in radius. This is the division of Wumiao City in southern border.

The closest to our Xingnan Prefecture is Heimiao City, which is 120 miles away from Chengkang County, Yinling County, the southernmost part of Hexi Province. 130 miles further down is Baimiao City, and [-] miles east of Baimiao City is Hongmiao City, [-] miles to the west is Zimiao City. As for Qingmiao City where we are now, it is [-] miles north of Zimiao City and southwest of Black Miao City, about [-] miles away.

In addition, each of the five Miao tribes, except Qingmiao, has a garrison of 50. The Qingmiao tribe has been developing well with the support of Sikong Yue in recent years. The army has expanded to 70, making it the strongest among the five Miao tribes. The leader of the tribe is now the head of the temple. Zun, Qingxuan, has fought against the other four Miao clan chiefs without losing any of them. Qingmiao is currently the well-deserved leader among the five Miao clans. Although the other four Miao people are dissatisfied with Qingmiao, no one dares to go against Qingmiao. The four seedlings basically obeyed Xuan’s orders! "

Hou Yuduan looked at the map and his eyes lit up slightly. The approximate location of Wumiao City was not a secret in Hexi, but someone like Cheng Yunye could clearly understand the specific locations of the five cities as well as the routes and distances between them. Yes, it obviously took a lot of effort.

Moreover, this information is extremely valuable to Hexi.

"Yunye, thank you for your hard work!"

"Fifth Master is ridiculous. These are what subordinates should do."

Hou Yuduan memorized all the contents on the map in his mind, then turned to look at Cheng Yunye, and said with a chuckle: "In the past two years, I have often heard the third sister mention you, saying that you are causing trouble in southern Xinjiang. Provoking the relationship between the five seedlings has achieved great results, and their reputation is also growing day by day, and they even got the nickname of Feiyujian, is there such a thing?"

"Fifth Master is laughing, these people from outside the territory have never seen any geniuses!"

Hearing the words "Feiyu Sword", Cheng Yunye was probably a little embarrassed, and his expression became a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted it and continued: "The third lady said it was indeed true, but it was just a matter of stirring up trouble between the five seedlings. Such a big thing as a relationship cannot be accomplished by one subordinate. In the past four years, thanks to the fourth master and the high commander, allowing the masters of the Shanghoumen and the Qinglong Society to cooperate, the subordinates have been able to take action..."

The five seedlings are united, and that is when there are foreign enemies. Ever since Sikong Yue supported the young seedlings to suppress the other four seedlings, there have been no external enemies in southern Xinjiang. There are problems within the five seedlings, and Cheng Yunye's methods cannot be said to be very clever. , is nothing more than taking advantage of the previous conflicts among the masters of the five Miao ethnic groups, relying on the masters of the Qinglong Society and the Shanghoumen to either assassinate or set fire to each other. In short, it intensifies the conflicts that existed before.

Although they have not succeeded in provoking any major wars in the past four years, the effect is indeed there. The key problem is that most of the conflicts provoked by Cheng Yunye are concentrated among Wu Miao Yuandan realm masters and below, that is, at the level of Grandmaster realm warriors.

There is nothing we can do about it. The masters that Shanghoumen and Qinglonghui can currently send are at most heaven-level grand masters. Moreover, they have to ensure that everything is foolproof and no traces of Hexi can be seen by others. Then there are even more requirements.

"However, last year when Fourth Master took action, the relationship between Hei Miao and Bai Miao was completely frozen. This matter caused a big fuss among the top management of Wu Miao. It is said that both Qing Miao and Zi Miao stood by Bai Miao. On one side, the red seedlings side with the black seedlings. If this matter can be exploited, it may become a trigger for problems among the five seedlings!"

Hou Yuduan nodded. The incident that Hou Yujie took part in last year was planned by Cheng Yunye. At the beginning of the planning, Cheng Yunye sent a letter to make it clear in advance, so he knew the ins and outs of this incident.

The Black Miao and White Miao tribes have always been at odds with each other, but the previous conflicts were not as deep as they are now. In March last year, Hei Lin, the son of Hei Yuan, the elder of the Black Miao tribe, got married and invited the other four Miao relatives and friends to the banquet. When Yuan was young, he had formed quite a relationship with an elder of the Bai Miao clan named Bai Peng. Now that he was older, he wanted to clear up the past feud with Bai Peng, so he also sent him an invitation.

Cheng Yunye happened to know about this!
Cheng Yunye was keenly aware that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he quickly sent a message back to Hexi, hoping that the clan would send experts to help. Bai Peng was a master of the third realm of Yuan Dan, so Hou Yujie came by himself.

Bai Peng died, and he died not far from Heimiao City.

The Bai Miao people were furious. After several investigations, no flaws were found. In the end, they all unanimously concluded that the murderer was Hei Yuan, including Hei Yuan's invitation. He also had evil intentions and deliberately lured Bai Peng here.

This matter was just a trigger. In the past two years, Cheng Yunye's Yinhu Pavilion, with the cooperation of Qinglonghui and Houmen, was able to make trouble when nothing happened. With a lot of problems and this trigger, as expected, the grudges between Hei Miao and Bai Miao suddenly intensified.

"I know this. Over the past year, the black and white Miao tribes have stopped contacting each other. As you said, as long as we continue to stir up trouble, the two families will probably fight."

Hearing Hou Yuduan's words, Cheng Yunye shook his head.

"There was no accident, it should be like this, but there was an accident!"

"What accident?"

Hou Yuduan looked at Cheng Yunye and asked with a hint of doubt on his face.

"This is why I informed Fifth Master to come here. I heard that some big shots are coming to Southern Xinjiang recently. Qingxuan has summoned all the other four Miao clan chiefs and some masters. This matter is not trivial. I I was worried that it would have an impact on us in Hexi, so I informed Fifth Master as soon as possible!"

When Hou Yuduan heard this, his face suddenly darkened.

Qingxuan summoned all the masters of the four seedlings to come over to greet them. These were five martial arts sub-sages, and more than a dozen powerful masters of the Broken Realm, not to mention the Yin-Yang Realm and the Yuan Dan Realm!

What kind of character is that?
Come to southern Xinjiang at this time.

Could it be that there are other forces that have some thoughts on Southern Xinjiang?
