Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 455: The storm is about to come, and there are strangers outside the sky

The tenth day of the tenth month of the 1335th year of the New Yu Calendar

Xiapi County is adjacent to Zhongyuan Road. There is a high mountain at the junction. Because the mountain is gentle, no trees grow on the mountain. Most of the exposed stones are smooth marble. From a distance, it looks like a stone hanging in mid-air. Mirror, hence the name Xuanjing Mountain.

Because the official road to Xiapitong Zhongyuan Road is still more than thirty miles away from here, no one would come here even in peacetime, let alone now, where there is almost no human habitation, and not even birds and animals can be seen.

However, at this moment, the empty Xuanjing Mountain was trembling violently. Rubbles collapsed from the top of the mountain. Many rock walls were even cracked, and cracks like spider webs appeared, which seemed to be coming at any time. Cracked and collapsed.

A white beam of light suddenly rose into the sky from Xuanjing Mountain, and within that white beam of light, there was a phantom of an old man in a Confucian shirt. The demon was instantly wiped out after he only glanced at it.

"Student, thank you Master!"

A clear and pious voice came from the mountain, and the old man's shadow in the air suddenly caressed his long beard, with a look of approval on his face, and then slowly disappeared into the air.

The reappearance of the master's heroic spirit is not a new scene in China, but it is definitely not something that can be seen casually. If I am not mistaken, the last time was the Tongling Demon Rebellion 13 years ago, the White Deer Ji Yanzhi, a great scholar in the academy, tried to break through to the realm of sub-sage.

But it must be said that the heroic spirit of the master who appeared that time was not as spiritual as the one just now. The phantom of the master in front of him not only has a face so clear that his expression can be seen clearly, but the Confucian power contained in him is also far greater than before.

After the master's heroic spirit completely disappeared, the white light pillar in Xuanjing Mountain suddenly expanded dozens of times, and a young figure slowly walked from the top of the mountain.

There was a faint smile on the young man's face, and the awe-inspiring righteousness surrounding his body sometimes evolved into a long sword of righteousness, sometimes condensed into a ball of pure white Ruyi, sometimes affecting the clouds in the sky, and sometimes connecting to the earth beneath his feet. The young man seemed to be in harmony with the heaven and the earth, and he seemed to have jumped out of the five elements and was not in the three realms.

His steps were firm and steady. Every time he stepped, a lotus would grow wherever he stepped. He truly lived up to the four words "Lotus grows step by step". His brows and eyes were as bright as a torch, which was no less impressive than the master's heroic spirit who had just disappeared in mid-air. , the smile on the corner of his mouth became more open with the brisk pace.

"I didn't expect that my Confucianism and Taoism would break through before my martial arts. It's okay. Now in China's chaotic world of demons and monsters, at this juncture, the cultivation of a Confucianism and Taoism saint is much more helpful than that of a martial arts saint. Take your time with martial arts, and then you will naturally Things will come naturally, but I don’t know what those people at White Deer Academy will think if they know that I have become a Confucian and Taoist saint so quickly, haha..."

Hou Yuduan chuckled lightly. Although he had a harmonious and humble temperament, he was a saint who had broken through Confucianism and Taoism. For such a big thing, it would be a lie to say that he didn't have any arrogance in his heart. Counting the time spent in seclusion in Big Brother's Five Elements Heaven. , his actual age is at most more than 200 years old. At this age, he broke through and became a Confucian and Taoist saint. Looking around the world, he could not find anyone.

To put it too much, even the master who pioneered Confucianism and Taoism is not as good as him.

Breaking through the saints through Confucianism and Taoism is much more difficult than breaking through the saints through martial arts.

"In the past two years, I practiced in Big Brother's Five Elements Heaven. With the unlimited source blood, I thought I only improved my root bones. Now it seems that the source blood also has a miraculous effect on improving the eighth orifice in the heart. Practice according to normal Confucianism. , I can't break through so fast."

Hou Yuduan secretly thought to himself and turned to look at Xuanjing Mountain. He realized more than a month ago that he could try to break through the Confucian and Taoist saints, so he left the Five Elements Heaven Pass and wandered around the Jianye Mansion until he reached Xuanjing Mountain. Jingshan had the urge to break through. He saw that this place was deserted and quiet enough, so he chose this place. Unexpectedly, he succeeded in breaking through so smoothly.

"When I go back this time, brother, it's almost time to ascend to the position of emperor..."

Hou Yuduan groaned softly, his eyes flashing with a faint light.

"Old slave Wang Deng, congratulations to the young master for breaking through to become a Confucian and Taoist saint!"

"Old slave Zhao Yuan, congratulations to the young master for breaking through to become a Confucian and Taoist saint!"

Suddenly, two exciting voices came from the horizon. Hou Yuduan, who was about to leave for Jianye Fucheng, his pupils condensed, and when he turned around, he found two figures flying slowly from the side. It was the two figures. Years ago, when the Hou family's army just moved south, they took the initiative to find him and revealed their identities to Zhao Si and Wang Wu, the old men of the Hou family.

Seeing the two people appearing, Hou Yuduan didn't have much surprise on his face, but his brows were slightly furrowed as if he was considering their intentions. After pondering for a moment, he still showed a slight smile on his face, bowed and said: "Wang Shu Zhao Uncle, I'm sorry, Yu Duan hasn't taken the initiative to visit me in the past two years, so please forgive me."

When the two of them saw Hou Yuduan bowing to them, they both looked frightened. They hurriedly lowered their waists even more and said anxiously: "Young Master, you don't have to be like this. We are only slaves of the Hou family. How can we bear such a courtesy from the Young Master?" Nian, with that person here, we dare not go to the young master rashly, if there is any fault, it is only the two of us who are responsible!"

Upon hearing the word "that person", a dark color suddenly flashed in the depths of Hou Yuduan's pupils.

"Those two are not just here to congratulate me on my breakthrough this time, right?"

"Young Master, you still don't know the news about the family master in Jizhou, right?"

Head of the family, news from Jizhou...

As soon as these two things came out, Hou Yuduan immediately realized what they were talking about. He frowned slightly and nodded. He did not know the news about Jizhou.

"To tell you the truth, young master, two years ago, after Zhao Yulong and Li Tingzong returned to Jizhou from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, they tried to take back the capital of Jizhou from the master of the family, but it was a pity..."

"What a pity?"

Hou Yuduan immediately asked, he was really curious about this matter.

"It's a pity that Li Tingzong secretly took refuge with the family leader. During the battle in Jidu, Li Tingzong suddenly took action. With the cooperation of the family leader, he successfully killed Zhao Yulong. Therefore, two years ago, the entire territory of Jizhou fell into the hands of the family leader!"

Li Tingzong was stabbed in the back, Zhao Yulong died, and the entire territory of Jizhou changed hands...

Upon hearing the news, Hou Yuduan's face suddenly showed a look of horror.

Before he could sort out the thoughts in his mind, Zhao Yuan's voice came again:
"Although the demons have been rampant in the past two years, the head of the family has personally led the army and has now eliminated the demons around Jidu. The lost land has almost been recovered. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as we continue step by step, it will be a matter of time to regain the entire territory of Jizhou! "

Zhao Yuan and Wang Deng looked at each other, then turned to look at Hou Yuduan. Both of them stood slightly forward, their bodies standing in mid-air, and knelt directly on the ground. Seeing their movements, Hou Yuduan had already realized What, but he continued to stand silently, listening to what the two said next.

"For more than ten years, my Hou family has been controlled by others. The old slave has seen it and is anxious in his heart. He is looking forward to the young master to take charge in person day and night. The young master is Po Sheng, and his strength is not inferior to that person. Taking advantage of the opportunity I, the Hou family, have established this opportunity for the Holy Dynasty. The young master should drive out that person and take back the power of the family from his hands. Forgive me for speaking frankly, this position of emperor of the holy dynasty can only be occupied by the young master.

As long as we regain the power of the Hou family and eliminate the demons, we can unite with the Crescent God Sect to deal with Emperor Youye's army and take back Hexi. By then, the head of the family will be in Jizhou, with each other in the south and north. In this world of China, I, the Hou family, will not be able to do anything. ………”

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Wang, you have said so much, but have you ever thought about what you should do if I am not that person's... opponent?"

Hou Yuduan suddenly spoke and interrupted the two of them. His pupils flashed with emotion. After a pause, he said with a gloomy expression: "If I were not that person's opponent and forced my hand to expose the truth, I would be doomed... "

"Don't worry, young master. If there is no absolute certainty, how could the two of us come here so rashly? We have already sent news to Jizhou that the two of us have already sent news to Jizhou after learning that the young master has retreated and broken the sage. The Patriarch has planned so hard for so many years. Others have occupied the magpie's nest, and now that the young master has broken the sage, the Patriarch will take action immediately when he hears the news, and the position of the great emperor of the sage dynasty must be in the young master's pocket."

After hearing this, the gloom on Hou Yuduan's face slowly relaxed. He looked at the two people expectantly, and a trace of emotion slowly appeared on his face. He seemed to have seen that the position of the Great Emperor of the Holy Dynasty was within easy reach, and his eyes also relaxed. A trace of ambition slowly emerged.

Wang Deng of Zhao Yuan saw the change of expression on Hou Yuduan's face, and he was not surprised at all. These years, they also watched Hou Yuduan grow up, and they knew his character very well. Knowing that the person currently in office is not his eldest brother, he will not be willing to be a foil.

Besides, Emperor Shengchao, looking at Yanzhou, who can resist this temptation?

The three of them discussed for a long time in Xuanjing Mountain, and finally started to return to Jianye Mansion.

The fifth day of January in the year 1336 of the New Yu Calendar

In the Jin Dynasty Hall, Yuwen Dongdu held a golden invitation in his left hand and an ordinary letter in his right hand. After reading the left and right, he sneered slightly.

"The enthronement ceremony of the Jozhao Holy Dynasty, this Hou Yuxiao is quite arrogant!"

Zhuge Yuan chuckled lightly, shook his head and said: "It can't be said to be rampant. Starting from the small county of Zhaoyang, the Hou family now has indeed the strength of the Holy Land. If it were under ordinary circumstances, the Holy Dynasty would be established and the throne would be established. Great Emperor, it’s fair to say, but at this juncture, it’s really a bit arrogant..."

At present, the demons in China have not yet been eliminated, and the human territory of the thirteen states has not reached one state in total. The eight major forces are still working hard to regain the lost territory, and the relationship between the various forces is also very subtle. Even the four holy places in Hedong, which are known as the alliance, are a bit tricky. The opening of the Holy Dynasty and the enthronement ceremony at this time makes people feel like they are setting up a target.

"It seems that Hou Jing has retained someone in Hexi. Hou Yuxiao's invitation came first, and his letter came later. He said that Hexi has changed hands and asked us not to interfere. The imperial master said that we should Who do you listen to?"

Yu Wendong looked at Hou Jing's autographed letter on his right hand, with a look of hatred on his face at first, and then an intriguing smile.

Hou Jing is Hou Tong. When Jizhou changed hands two years ago, Yu Wendong already knew that Hou Jing, the mighty king of Wuwei, one of the seven dignified kings, was actually replaced by Hou Tong more than ten years ago, and he also let him Hou Tong captured Jizhou, and he hated this person deeply in his heart; but now the world is divided, Hexi and Jizhou are enemies, and the current situation seems to him to be dog eating dog, and he feels very happy.

Hearing the question, Zhuge Yuan thought for a moment, then said softly: "As expected, as Hou...tong said, this Hou Yuxiao is a stranger who has occupied the magpie's nest for so many years, and his three younger brothers and one sister all know it. Wu's enthronement ceremony was not so simple. Hou Yuduan had already broken through to become a Confucian and Taoist saint. If Hou Tong brought Li Tingzong to the door again, it would be very easy for these three people to ruin Hou Yuxiao's reputation, let alone... ..."

"Hou Yuduan, a Confucian and Taoist saint, has an old relationship with White Deer Academy. Hou Yuxiao invited holy places all over the world to attend the ceremony. Xun Mu and Meng Qu probably wanted to help out as fellow Taoists; Sikong Yue and The Hou family is close to each other, and they hope that the establishment of the industry will be turbulent; even if the other holy places have nothing to do with the Hou family, they are still happy to see them in civil strife; the only one Hou Yuxiao can rely on is the Ziqing Holy Sect, which happens to belong to the four families in Hedong, and demons are rampant at the moment. , they also have to rely on White Deer Academy, so if nothing unexpected happens, Ziqing Holy Sect can’t be of much help!
Speaking of which, Hou Yuxiao is already in a helpless state, and almost no holy places will stand on his side. On the other hand, Hou Yuduan has Hou Tong to help, White Deer Academy to help, and other holy places have no desire to intervene, so the result is very clear. ! "

Hearing Emperor Jin's words, Zhuge Yuan nodded, which is indeed the case.

"Hou Tong seized this juncture. He occupied Jizhou and then helped his son regain the power of Jianye. After eliminating the demons, his Hou family will be able to become a transcendent holy land spanning the north and south, and his strength will reach the peak in one fell swoop. White Deer Academy and New Moon God Sect are at this level. Such a calculation is quite good, but it is too stupid to think of others. Let’s not talk about the ones in Hedong. Let’s talk about Sikong Yue. Will it make him so comfortable? ?”

After Jin Emperor finished speaking, he sneered, turned to look at the golden invitation, and said softly: "It's interesting to see a stranger from the outside. If nothing else happens, Hou Yuxiao will be ruined this time. After all these years of hard work, It’s a pity that once a huge business operation is destroyed, it will all fall into the hands of others..."

The tenth day of January 1336 in the new Yu calendar

The lower reaches of the Yunlan Ancient River and the Jiaozhou Basin.

A Tianshu-class warship sailed slowly on the river from west to east. Although no flags were hoisted on the warship, it was filled with elite soldiers wearing strong armor. Some of them were black-clad guards on duty on the deck. There are at least Yuan Dan Realm cultivation level, and there are even more than ten top masters of Yin and Yang Realm.

In fact, it is normal. In this season when demons are rampant, anyone who dares to walk around on the earth is not an ordinary person. What's more, driving such a large warship is almost impossible to find on the Yunlan Ancient River except for the eight in the world. What a force.

In the main cabin of the warship, Zhao Qingxue looked at the river with frowning eyes. Even though she realized that she had entered the Jiaozhou River, her face still showed no sign of relaxation. She turned her head from time to time to look in the direction of Jianye Mansion in the west, her eyes full of worry .

Sitting below was a young man in white, his son Hou Wuji.

"Mom, dad is about to ascend the throne. Why are we coming to Jiaozhou at this time?"

Zhao Qingxue turned around and looked at her son's face, which was full of displeasure. She knew that he was unhappy all the way. After thinking for a moment, he softly comforted him and said: "Let's come to Jiaozhou in advance to deliver a message to your master. If everything goes well, we can also I can follow your master back to Jianye!"

After hearing this, Hou Wuji's face suddenly relaxed a lot.
