Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 6 Hou Yuduan concentrates on studying
In the quiet room behind the main hall of the Hou family, Hou Yuxiao sat cross-legged with her upper body naked. Her well-proportioned muscles and bronze skin matched together, like a perfect body carefully carved by heaven, with excellent visual effects.

A rhythmic breathing sound suddenly sounded in the quiet room. If you have enough eyesight, you can see that thousands of pores around his body are opening and closing with the sound of breathing, and a mysterious black energy suddenly condenses outside his body.

However, it only lasted less than a breath before the black energy dissipated.

After the black air dissipated, Hou Yuxiao held the Yuan Gang Pearl in his mouth, opened his eyes, and spit it out lightly, and the Yuan Gang Pearl hit the wall of the quiet room like a bullet from the chamber.

Seeing the four Yuan Gang Pearls that had completely lost their luster on the wall, Hou Yuxiao's face suddenly showed a hint of gloom.

"6000 taels of silver and four Yuan Gang Pearls are still not enough to break through the Gang Qi Realm. No wonder... No wonder there are so few Gang Qi Realm masters in the world and it is so difficult to break through!"

Thinking of the 6000 taels of silver, Hou Yuxiao felt distressed. That was the family's surplus for the past two years.

Originally, after Hou Tong's death, the Hou family's strength was greatly reduced, and he used all the money he had saved to give gifts to the county magistrate Ren Feng.

In the past two years, my vitality has recovered a bit, but the number of people I have to support has also increased. The extra money I get every year is less than 5000 taels. There's no spare money left.

The key problem is that if his breakthrough fails, the three Qinglang Gang, Feiyingmen Happy Forest and the county government will target him, which will be very dangerous for the Hou family!
Becoming a Gang Qi realm warrior can solve this problem. This was what Hou Yuxiao had in mind when he went to Tianling County to buy the Yuan Gang Pearl more than a month ago.

Now it failed...

While Hou Yuxiao was meditating, he was using the Hou family's ancestral Xuan Mo Zhen Kung to absorb the unformed black Gang Qi into his body.

There are as many martial arts in the world as stars, but they never depart from their origins. Broadly speaking, they are divided into mental methods and martial arts. If martial arts is the killing technique, then mental methods are the cornerstone of cultivation.

The tenth level of Kaishen is the stage where a martial artist polishes his body. The methods are similar, and they are nothing more than through the power of medicine or will. However, it is different after reaching the Gang Qi realm. It must be supplemented by mental methods in order to condense his own martial arts Gang. Sha.

Like martial arts, mental skills are also divided into six levels: saint, heaven, earth, first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate. However, mental skills are more precious than martial arts, because mental skills are related to how high a martial artist can reach. After all, this is the world. , Gang Qi realm is not the end.

Even the weakest third-rate forces must have at least one third-rate mental method and three third-rate martial arts to use as their ultimate mastery. Hou's ability to possess a mysterious magic skill and the Thirteen Black Dragon Styles is already considered a master. That's right, the other three low-level forces in Zhaoyang County only have a third-rate martial arts school at best.

It's a pity that Xuan Mo Zhen Gong and the Thirteen Black Dragon Styles are of no use to the predicament Hou Yuxiao is facing now.

"I can only find a way from the innate good and evil lotus. According to what I have tested before, although I can only do one good deed a day, as long as it is a good deed, even if it is done by others, it can be counted as achieved through me. My philanthropic energy is used to light up the sacred lotus. It depends on what help this first white petal can provide me."

When looking for someone to do good deeds, let alone the Hou family, even if you search throughout Zhaoyang County, you can't find anyone more suitable than Hou Yuduan.

After making up his mind, Hou Yuxiao thought about it and left the quiet room and walked towards Yaxiang Garden in the west where Hou Yuduan lived.

But as soon as he walked out of the quiet room, a thin little man came over. He was less than five feet long and had a thin face. He looked exactly like Hou Yuxiao when he went to Tianling County before!
"Hou Fei, what's wrong?"

A smile appeared on Hou Yuxiao's face. Speaking of Hou Fei, we have to talk about the brilliance of his deceased father, Hou Tong.

Although the Hou family is a family, in the end it only consists of Hou Tong and his five brothers and sisters. The number of people is too thin. Without developing peripheral forces, it will be difficult to improve their strength.

Therefore, in the early years when the five brothers and sisters were only five or six years old, Hou Tong went around Zhaoyang County and even Tongling County to collect some orphans of the same age. Some of them were adopted as apprentices, and some were simply adopted as adopted sons. In total, There are about ten of them, and Hou Fei is one of them.

Moreover, Hou Fei is the one with the best martial arts qualifications among them. He has the strength to start at the eighth level when he is only 25 years old. Now he also holds the position of the dragon head of Shanghou Menkui branch, which can be regarded as one of Hou's current humerus strengths.

Hou Fei has one advantage, that is, he is inconspicuous!

There is nothing we can do about it. He is small, his appearance is not outstanding, and he is even a bit slovenly on weekdays. If you don't look carefully in a crowd, you will be easily ignored. No one who looks at him will believe that he looks like this. With a weak body, he can actually reach the eighth level of cultivation.

"Master, Ren Feng invites you to a banquet at the Sacred Heart Tower at noon. Tie Budong of the Flying Eagle Gate, Wang Hu of the Green Wolf Gang, and Boss Gao of Happy Lin are all here. It should be because of the murder that the second master committed before!"

Hou Fei probably suffered some hardships when he was young, and he always had a bitter and resentful expression on his face. Even when he was talking to Hou Yuxiao, whom he respected, he still had this expression.

Hou Yuxiao was used to his appearance and wouldn't take it seriously. On the way back, Hou Yucheng had already told him what happened in Nanling and nodded.

"Get ready and we'll set off at the end of noon!"

We set off at the end of noon, which was when we arrived at the end of the day. Hou Yuxiao arranged to arrive a full hour later. Hou Fei was not surprised at all, so he nodded and went down to prepare.

"I just came back and invited me to a banquet, the person who came is not kind!"

Hou Yuxiao sneered twice, thinking of Ren Feng, a fleeting cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, then he lifted his steps and continued walking towards Yaxiang Garden where Lao Wu was.

The four gardens of the Hou family's mansion are called Hehuan, Handao, Xueyang, and Yaxiang. From the name Yaxiang, it can be seen that the fifth Hou Yuduan is different from the other three.

Not only are the people different, but the layout of their residences is also different.

There are two wintersweet trees planted at the entrance of Yaxiang Garden. There are two Chinese characters hanging on the left and right sides of the entrance hall.

It was April or May, and the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard was fragrant. As soon as Hou Yuxiao came closer, the sound of Lang Lang reading could be heard in his ears...

"The Master said: There is beauty in benevolence. How do you know if you choose not to be benevolent?"

"The Master said, "Those who are unkind cannot make appointments for a long time, nor can they enjoy themselves happily.A benevolent person is at ease with benevolence, and a wise person is beneficial to benevolence. "

"The Master said, "Only the benevolent can do good to others and do evil to others. "

"The Master said: "Gou's ambition is benevolence, and there is no evil. "

…………

Hou Yuxiao's brows darkened, and he struggled for a long time. He turned around several times and wanted to leave, but before he could move his feet, the sound of reading inside paused.

As soon as the voice stopped, Hou Yuxiao's heart suddenly trembled. Before he could react, a voice came from his ear.

"The Master said: Wealth and honor are what people want. If you don't get them in the right way, you won't be able to get them. Brother, do you know what this sentence means?"

Hou Yuxiao turned his head and looked at the young man who made the sound, who was looking at him expectantly, and a smile that was uglier than crying suddenly appeared on his face.

The young man's appearance is very similar to that of Hou Yuxiao. The moon-white robe makes his figure more slender. Although his elegant appearance is a bit soft, the righteousness in his eyes is breathtaking.

Different from ordinary scholars who have a somewhat rickety figure, his figure is as tall and straight as a pine tree, and the hands holding the scroll are also extremely powerful. The most important thing is that he actually has the fifth level of Kaishen. Fluctuations in blood energy.

If it wasn’t Hou Yuduan, the fifth eldest son of the Hou family, who else could it be!
Hou Yuxiao was a man of two generations and had read some books. As soon as Hou Yuduan said this, he knew that he was alluding to the matter of him taking money to go to Tianling County. Knowing that Hou Yuduan was difficult to deal with, he could only apologize sincerely and said: "From the Ren chapter in the Analects of Confucius" , what the fifth brother is teaching me is that the eldest brother took it without telling you, which caused you a lot of trouble, so the eldest brother should first make amends to the fifth brother!"

As soon as he heard that Hou Yuxiao had told him why, Hou Yuduan's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested. He stamped his chest twice, pointed at Hou Yuxiao and said: "Brother, eldest brother, you should be the five of us. The most qualified among them, how could they not respect Confucius and Mencius and not follow Confucianism, which has resulted in a disreputable reputation today!"

"Don't bring your clansmen to do evil anymore, and make the people of Zhaoyang County miserable. In the end, you will only eat yourself back, and end up like your father."

Hou Yuxiao: “…”

"Why don't you follow the Confucian path of my fifth brother? In the future, if you and I are lucky enough to enter the White Deer Academy and enter the Sage Gate, we will benefit both sides and it may be a good story!"

Hou Yuxiao: “…”

"Look at my second brother, he killed more than 30 people in Nanling Mountain a few days ago. Even if he is at fault, he should not be so reckless. Killing to stop killing will only increase hatred. When is the right to repay injustice... "

…………

"And Third Sister, she is just a good girl with a good-tempered family, but she actually named her residence Hehuan Yuan. It is so vulgar and vulgar, and does not abide by women's ethics. How can she marry in the future? Women are at home. From the father, now that the father is gone, the eldest brother is like the father, and the third sister has become like this, eldest brother, you have a responsibility that you cannot shirk."

"And fourth brother..."

"Lao Wu, don't you always pity the mining slaves in Nanling Mountain and the herb collectors in your family, and want to improve their lives?"

Listening to Hou Yuduan's eloquent talk, Hou Yuxiao felt that his head was going to grow bigger, taking advantage of the gap between his mouth and resting, he finally interrupted the conversation.

After being interrupted, Hou Yuduan showed a hint of displeasure on his face, but when he heard Hou Yuxiao mentioning the miners, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Brother, have you finally figured it out? Are you willing to let the more than 500 miners go?" ?”

………………

Let those mining slaves go, and our whole family will drink from the northwest wind?
Hou Yuxiao would never dare to say this. He had tried to persuade Lao Wu before, and every time he succeeded, Hou Yuduan could not say a word in his defense every time.

Hou Yuduan is 20 years old this year. Unlike other children who started practicing martial arts at the age of two, he felt that martial arts were vulgar since he was a child.

When he was 12 years old, he suffered a serious illness. After he recovered from the illness, Hou Yuduan began to practice martial arts. However, his reason for practicing martial arts was strange. He said it was for good health, so that he could live longer and read more books...

After all, reading so many sages' books was not in vain. No matter it was Hou Yuxiao, the second, third, fourth, or even the entire Zhaoyang County, no one dared to argue with the fifth.

"It's definitely not possible to let them go. After all, these people have some sins and don't respect me, the Hou family, but I think their lives are indeed difficult. Lao Wu, you are responsible for improving their lives and making them more comfortable. ,How about it?"

After thinking for a long time, Hou Yuxiao came up with such a reason. Although Hou Yuduan was not satisfied yet, he felt that this was at least an improvement, so he happily left to do it.

"The fact that my eldest brother understands their difficult life today proves that my kindness is still there. As long as I can continue to adhere to the way of the sages, I will be able to persuade my eldest brother to be kind, as well as my second brother, third sister and fourth brother, they can do it!"

Watching Hou Yuduan walk out in a hurry, Hou Yuxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to come to Yaxiang Garden. Every time he came, he would be annoyed by Lao Wu from beginning to end.

It happened that Hou Yuduan was in charge of the Hou family's accounts, so he, the eldest brother and the head of the Hou family, became the target of Hou Yuduan's efforts to persuade.

persuade what?
Advise him to read the books of sages, do good deeds, and follow the right path...

When he thought of this, Hou Yuxiao's head grew bigger.

Zhaoyang County is the territory of the Demonic Path. It’s okay for you to secretly read the books of sages in the Demonic Path, but you still shout to do good deeds and follow the right path. What’s going on...

Hou Yuxiao shook his head and suddenly turned to look at the wing on the west side of Yaxiang Garden, with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth.

Inside, Tian Honglu and Duan Zhengqi, whom he kidnapped, were being held.

After standing near Yaxiang Garden for a while, Hou Yuxiao walked back to the main hall and called Hou Fei over.

"Hou Fei, get ready and leave for the Sacred Heart Tower!"

"My subordinates will prepare their horses immediately."
