No taboos in the world

Chapter 382: Moving and Retreat, Miao Shan Visits

Three days later, Jiajia Building.

After seeing off the people from the moving company and the cleaning company, Hong Chen turned and entered the room opposite his house.

This place has been renovated to be similar in layout to the previous Lingling Hall, and a faint scent of jasmine permeates the newly cleaned room.

After opening the door of the study, he said to Ma Xiaoling who was sitting cross-legged, "We've finished moving today, and we're inviting people to dinner tonight. Why don't we do it in the bar? There's a kitchen in the bar, too. I'll contact the chef to bring the ingredients to the bar to cook."

"Okay." Ma Xiaoling said without opening her eyes.

"Personally, I think you can just ask some acquaintances for this. There's no need to call in everyone in the building. After all, you're the one moving."

"it is good."

"Do you have any other guests you want to invite? I can call them for you."

"No."

"Do you have any suggestions for tonight's dishes?"

Ma Xiaoling frowned: "I don't have any suggestions. I'm handing this over to you and letting you take full responsibility. You don't need to ask me. Anyway, if there is a problem, I will find you first!"

"You are not preaching..."

"Ok?"

"Hey! Leave it to me, don't worry!"

After closing the door, Hong Chen sat in the living room, contacted the hotel first, and then called the guests one by one.

After it was over, he put down his phone, leaned back in the soft sofa, and felt as if he was living the comfortable life he had imagined.

Although my girlfriend has a bad temper and is sometimes dictatorial, if you think about it carefully, she is similar to the girls in Sichuan and Chongqing, most of whom are tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

Perhaps because he had seen too many soft girls, Ma Xiaoling was someone Hong Chen found quite fresh.

Ever since the Moon Burial incident was perfectly resolved and seeing Wang Zhenzhen waking up unharmed, Ma Xiaoling temporarily put everything aside and devoted herself to cultivation.

Hong Chen could certainly understand him, because even if it were him, if he was suddenly taught some powerful moves and techniques, he would definitely start to study and research them desperately.

Perhaps because Hong Chen used the method of divine descent to teach, Ma Xiaoling learned very quickly.

She has basically mastered Riding the Wind, Drunken Dragon Spitting Pearls and Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Although when it is actually used, one can only hear the faint roar of a dragon, but cannot see the shadow of a dragon at all.

But this only has to do with the amount of spiritual power in her body. After Hong Chen helped her clear her meridians, the spiritual power in her body has been growing rapidly all the time in the past few days.

Besides, it wasn't that Hong Chen didn't want to teach her all the six styles of the evil dragon, but other than these two styles, the others required some additional conditions. For example, the dragon transformation required sword intent and invisible sword energy that could break the body, the devil dragon emerging from the abyss required the Dao Heart Planting Demon Method, and the thundering dragon roar required the ability to control thunder. Ma Xiaoling didn't have these conditions, and Hong Chen didn't think she needed to spend extra time to learn them.

After all, from a comprehensive point of view, the Dragon God's Decree is the most important means of the Ma family.

And the power of the Five Elements Divine Dragon that he taught was difficult enough in itself.

These days, Ma Xiaoling devoted almost all her time to it except for eating and sleeping. Even so, she has only roughly learned the Red Dragon Borrowing Technique.

But then again, the difficulty of learning is actually proportional to the benefits.

The Five Elements Dragon's Decree, using the five elements, can ultimately achieve effects far more than just gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

If you take out one attribute alone, as long as you have a clear mind, you can derive countless uses for it.

In short, the Five Elements Dragon Decree is a rich collection of five elements magic spells waiting to be discovered.

Not to mention the combination of the five elements according to their mutual generation and mutual restraint, or forming a positive and negative five-element formation, etc...

With such strength, Hong Chen believed that he was not far from completing the task of restoring the reputation of the Ma family.

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt sleepy, so he closed his eyes.

It is still the vast grassland under the blue sky and white clouds.

Madonna sat cross-legged on the clouds, her face full of curiosity as she asked, "Do you know what Xiaoling has been doing recently? I see that she is working even harder now than when she first started learning Taoism as a child. She even refused to accompany me when I asked her to chat at night. When I asked her about it, she just said that she wanted to give me a surprise."

"Don't worry, aunt. I taught her some Taoist techniques, so she has been working hard recently."

"Oh, I see." Madonna suddenly realized, but then asked, "Hey, what did you send her?"

Hong Chen smiled and said, "Aunt, do you want to learn?"

"Hey, don't joke with me. To be frank, I am just a wandering ghost. How can I learn any Taoist magic?"

"Grandma is too modest. You killed countless demons and monsters in your lifetime, and you have accumulated a lot of merits. Now you are also a real spirit body, how can you compare with those lonely ghosts. If you are willing to reincarnate, you will definitely be born into a rich or noble family in your next life, and you will live a healthy and happy life. Maybe, in the next life, you can continue to walk the path of Taoism, accumulate merits and virtues, and repeat the cycle. It is not a delusion to achieve Taoism and ascend to heaven one day."

These words made Madonna unable to hold back her smile.

After a long while, she stopped smiling and said in a serious tone, "Okay, don't tease me anymore. I know your strength. Sixty years ago, you were already a world-famous Maoshan Heavenly Master. Sixty years have passed, and I dare not even imagine how strong you are now. To be honest, after knowing your identity, although I still worry that Xiaoling will lose her magic power, I feel relieved at the same time. At least... with you here, even if she loses all her magic power, at least her life will not be in danger."

Hearing her say this, Hong Chen didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only nod slightly.

Madonna floated in the air and turned around leisurely, saying, "You have killed many zombies, right?"

"Yes."

It is no exaggeration to say that during the time when Hong Chen was out in the spirit world to fight the demons, he had killed at least 8,000 zombies. However, most of those who died in his hands were corpse-transformed zombies, which were not of the same system as the general zombies.

But no matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same. After understanding Kuang Tianyou, Kuang Fusheng, Yamamoto Ichiro and others, Hong Chen also believes that there is not much difference between them. At least: if you are killed, you will die!
"Have you seen Jiang Chen?" Madonna suddenly asked.

Hong Chen shook his head: "No."

"Oh, that's a pity." Madonna sighed, "If you meet Jiang Chen in the future, please help kill him. As long as Jiang Chen dies, the curse of the Ma family will disappear. At that time, you and Xiaoling can be together without worries. I really hope that one day in the future I can attend your wedding."

"There will come a day."

In fact, whether he kills Jiang Chen or not, Hong Chen has a way to solve the problem of the curse.

It is nothing more than letting Ma Xiaoling awaken her wisdom from her previous life, and then letting Ma Linger remove the blood curse.

As for whether Ma Linger will be obedient... please, I am the Emperor Xuanling whom she worships every day and even asks her descendants to worship me!

Moreover, the feud between Jiang Chen and the Ma family was, after all, just a conspiracy of fate. The Ma family possessed the blood of destiny, and was originally a tool and banner for them to fight against the Pangu clan.

Killing the general and saving the people is more like eliminating the hidden danger left by the general and erasing the Pangu clan in order to eliminate fate.

As Hong Chen is tasked with capturing destiny, he naturally stands on the same side as the Pangu clan's god of war, Jiang Chen. From this perspective, the Ma family is his enemy.

However, the Ma family has been kept in the dark since their ancestor Ma Ling'er, and it is not wrong for them to kill zombies from generation to generation.

So, fundamentally speaking, those who hide behind the scenes and plot are the ones who deserve to die.

It’s a pity that he can’t find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book now, otherwise he could at least change his fate once more.

"Okay, go ahead and take good care of Xiaoling for me."

"Yes, great-aunt."

Hong Chen opened his eyes, stood up, drank a glass of water, turned around and went out to the bar to arrange the housewarming party in the evening.

At four o'clock, the bar closed.

At six o'clock, all the guests arrived. Seeing that Ma Xiaoling was late, Hong Chen could only apologize to the guests on her behalf. Fortunately, they were all friends and neighbors, so it was not considered rude.

At half past six, Ma Xiaoling arrived late. Fortunately, she still had a smile on her face. It seemed that she had made a breakthrough in her cultivation.

Both the host and the guests had a great time that night.

In the days that followed, Ma Xiaoling suspended all operations of Lingling Hall and devoted herself to the practice of the Dragon God's Edict.

In addition to Hong Chen's Five Elements Dragon Command, the Dragon God Command method passed down by the Ma family is also not weak.

At this time, Ma Xiaoling's strength was rapidly improving, and Hong Chen really understood her feelings and thoughts.

So Hong Chen didn't bother him anymore and he retreated into his own home.

After trying to comprehend the second half of the sword technique for a long time without any results, he put it aside for the time being and turned to focus on his own practice.

Thousands of years of spiritual energy flow through the meridians like a surging river.

But this is obviously not the end of the practice.

According to the experience recorded in ancient cultivation books, he should still be in the realm of refining Qi into a spirit. The reason why his combat power is far beyond what is recorded in the books is partly due to his vast spiritual power, and the other part is due to his skills and comprehension.

Of course, he also couldn't forget how the Thunder God's Eyes had cleansed his body many times.

If you want to break through and return to the void, you must first perfectly separate the "primordial spirit" from the body.

And this process requires concentrating one's own spiritual power to the extreme, so as to reflect the body and illuminate the soul.

From another perspective, this seems to be similar to the three stages of cultivation: Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, and God Transformation.

Different paths lead to the same destination, nothing more than this.

Before Hong Chen went into seclusion, he sent messages to Ma Xiaoling and Kuang Tianyou, using the excuse of being on a business trip.

Ma Xiaoling was also practicing hard herself, so she didn't say much about it. She only replied to the text message and reminded him to be careful and keep himself clean.

Kuang Tianyou would go to the fourth floor every morning and evening to see if there were any traces of the thief left at the door of Hong Chen's house.

In this way, March flew by.

July 14th, morning.

Ma Xiaoling's practice began to return to normal level a week ago, and she also ended the longest period of closed-door practice in her life.

She was in a good mood because she knew very well that her current self could beat ten of her past selves with one hand.

Although she couldn't say that she could kill generals with her current strength, but at least, Ma Xiaoling felt that her plan to retire before the age of 30 was getting closer and closer to reality.

Retirement won't hinder your search for generals, right?
After all, I have made friends with zombies without knowing it, so retiring is not that important.

But speaking of it, why hasn’t Hong Chen come back from his business trip for so long? Is he deliberately avoiding me?
Although she frowned, Ma Xiaoling was still in a good mood. She made herself a cup of coffee while humming a song.

The doorbell rang.

After opening the door, an unexpected figure appeared in front of me.

"Why are you here? What are you doing here?"

Miao Shan smiled and said, "I have something very important to discuss with you."
