Chapter 540 The Calm Before the Storm

Sitting quietly in his courtyard, enjoying the rare morning time, Xu Luo always had a happy smile on his face.

His path is different from others. The way to realize the mind is to go deep into the most ordinary life in this way, to experience, to comprehend, and finally to sublimate.

When Huangfu Chongzhi was most bored because of God's Domain, Xu Luo once had such a conversation with him.

"What is the purpose of training?" Xu Luo asked.

Huangfu Chongzhi replied: "Ordinary people practice to become stronger, and becoming stronger can gain fame and fortune."

"The people of that sect practice for what?" Xu Luo asked again.

Huangfu Chong replied: "To seek longevity, to explore the unknown."

Xu Luo asked: "After living forever, what do you want to do?"

Huangfu pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Life."

"Since that's the case, isn't it all about living?" Xu Luo said with a smile.

"A better life!" Huangfu said to him.

"I actually feel that no matter whether a secular person cultivates or a sectarian cultivates, the so-called is nothing more than two words - desire!"

Xu Luo said: "People make progress because of their desires. It is precisely because of various demands that they want to make progress. After making progress, they have new demands, and then want to go to the next level!"

Huangfu Chongzhi was silent for a long while before he said: "But many people will lose themselves in this process and forget what their original purpose is."

Xu Luo nodded and said: "Like a beggar, he may only want to fill his stomach at first, and three meals a day are his biggest demands! But as his strength increases, what he wants may change. To be successful is to eat well! Later, when he had subordinates, he could eat and drink spicy food without having to beg... Gradually, he found that this could not satisfy his requirements, because when others looked at them, Always say: Look... beggar!"

When Xu Luo said this, he raised his head and looked at Huangfu Chongzhi with a smile: "So, in the end, he will want to be emperor! Because only when he becomes emperor, no one in this world would dare to laugh at him! However, even if he does Emperor, he will find out again...he is very old! is dying! he doesn't want to die, he wants to live forever...so, maybe one day, he really got longevity, or will discover something new, still the same Not satisfied."

"Maybe... until one day, when he is really about to die, he will remember that his first dream was just three meals a day, and he will also feel that he was the happiest at that time." Xu Luo He looked at Huangfu Chongzhi meaningfully.

Then he said: "In the past few years, I have been almost at home in the imperial capital, not going anywhere, because I feel that I am very happy! If there are still some unfinished business, I would rather just stay with my family like this, because I Afraid……"

Xu Luo didn't say what he was afraid of, but Huangfu nodded at him, looked at Xu Luo and said, "Third brother, I understand what you mean, don't worry, no matter what, I won't become something you don't want to see The kind of person I met, my biggest wish in this life is only two, one, my child can grow up healthily and happily; two, one day, I can live happily with my wife! So, all things, For me, it's all about serving those two things. I'm not going to mess things up."

Xu Luo clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Great kindness!"

That night, only the two of them, brothers, got drunk!

From then on, Huangfu Chongzhi, who was originally decadent and full of worries, seemed to be a different person, and his temperament became much more cheerful.The little emperor who has always been afraid of him dared to act like a baby with his father occasionally when no one was around.

Apart from not being able to see his beloved wife, Huangfu Chongzhi became very happy again, he was still studying the alchemy scriptures, he was still refining alchemy all day long, but the energy of his whole body was completely different.

The little fat man has always been curious about what Xu Luo said to his elder brother, but Xu Luo never told him.

Because the happy little fat man, no matter how smart he is, it is difficult to comprehend those things that are so far away from him.

As a natural optimist with a happy family, although the little fat man's cultivation has progressed rapidly, he has never deliberately cultivated. As for working hard... it has nothing to do with him.

"Can there be five more years of such peace and tranquility?" Lianyi asked softly as she stood behind Xu Luo.

"What's wrong?" Xu Luo patted the stone bench beside him without turning his head.

Lianyi sat down on the stone bench, leaning her head lightly on Xu Luo's shoulder: "Recently, I always feel uneasy, as if...something is about to happen."

"Huh? You have such a good intuition?" Xu Luo praised in surprise, and then said with a smile: "If that old man Huo Tongtian is still alive, I'm afraid he will cry and beg you to be his disciple."

"I don't want it!" Lianyi said slightly annoyed. For so many years, she knew who Huo Tongtian was, and even more that her husband had sneaked into the Huo family as a descendant of the Huo family.

"Things like intuition are both mysterious and mysterious." Xu Luo put his arm around Lianyi's waist and said with a smile, "It's people from the ancient clan who are coming to fight."

"Ah? Call here?" Lianyi was slightly startled, and said, "Didn't you say... it will take ten years?"

"I didn't expect that the Huo family would have such a strong background that there would be a second saint. Moreover, although the deduction technique is not as powerful as Huo Tongtian, it is not weak." Xu Luo sighed slightly, and immediately Said: "This battle will come sooner or later, it is unavoidable, so, five years away... It's nothing."

Because just a year ago, Song Chengfeng and Chu Xiaoya secretly came to the Imperial Capital of the Sky and talked with Xu Luo for a whole night.

Then, early the next morning, the couple left quietly.

The whole process was extremely secretive, and in the entire Xu Mansion, except for Xu Luo, no one knew that two top experts had come here.

Song Chengfeng and Chu Xiaoya came here to remind Xu Luo of this matter!

Xu Luo gently hugged Lianyi, recalling in her mind what the eldest brother and his wife had said to him when they arrived.

"Since you left, the ancient clan has been in chaos for a while. Those families feel that the ancestor of the Huo family is dead, and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, especially the few families that are only a line behind the Huo family. Let's start, destroy the Huo family, and then take the opportunity to take the throne!"

"The Huo family really panicked at the beginning. Their shops in various parts of the ancient clan were smashed up one after another, and all kinds of business almost stagnated during that time..."

"These, for the Huo family, although they are a blow, they are not fatal. What is really fatal is that those families have started to assassinate the Huo family's children!"

Song Chengfeng said to Xu Luo with some emotion at the time: "The entire Huo family is in danger. We originally wanted to attack the Huo family, but judging from the situation at that time, no matter whether we did it or not, the Huo family had no reason to survive. , the building will collapse, irreversible!"

"Who knows, just when the Huo family was in turmoil and was almost about to fall with the last blow, an ancestor of the Huo family was born, which was different from the background used by the Huo family before. This ancestor, when he was born, was Rock-shattering!"

"In one night, two big families who were only one line behind the Huo family were wiped out in the ancient continent. One of the big families and a strong man who had just stepped into the saint realm were sitting in the town, but his neck was broken by life, and all the bones in his body were broken. smashed to death."

"This battle directly shocked the entire ancient continent. All the forces that originally aimed at the Huo family were silent..."

At the end of Song Chengfeng's speech, he was very emotional: "The Huo family is a giant. The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. This is the truth. The background is so deep that outsiders can't fathom it! Even the Huo family's head and a large group of elders don't know what to do. You know, there is such an old ancestor in their family."

Xu Luo was also very moved and surprised at the same time, admiring the rich heritage of the Huo family.

"Then what happened next?" Xu Luo asked afterward.

"Later, the ancestor of the Huo family made a deduction and told the Patriarch of the Huo family directly that there are no saints in Xingzhou, Central Plains!" Song Chengfeng sighed.

Xu Luo still remembered that his mood became heavy at that time. He was able to kill a newly promoted Saint Realm powerhouse like a chicken. With his strength, he was afraid that he had already mastered the mystery. It is also a strong man in the middle and late stage of Saint Realm.

This kind of strong... I am afraid that I am not an opponent.

It was Chu Xiaoya who gave Song Chengfeng a blank look at the time, and said, "Don't listen to your elder brother scaring you, the Huo family is indeed a saint, but he was exhausted and decayed to the point where he was born at that time because he didn't have much life. Seeing that my descendants were wiped out, I forcibly let out a sigh of relief, wiped out two families, and after deducing that there are no saints in Xingzhou in the Central Plains, I will sit down."

After Xu Luo heard this, before he had time to blame his elder brother for bluffing people, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just that this news is very secretive, and we found it out with great difficulty. After that battle, those families of the ancient clan who were hostile to the Huo family were all shocked. Although they also found out about Huo's family through various channels. The sage at home may have passed away, but he didn't dare to act rashly..." Song Chengfeng said.

Xu Luo laughed: "Is it because I am afraid that if I do something, another old monster like this will appear in the Huo family?"

Song Chengfeng also laughed, nodded and said, "That's true."

"However, after the Huo family escaped this catastrophe, they must focus on Xingzhou in the Central Plains. You have not moved for several years. They all know the speed of your improvement. It should not take a year before they will directly attack you. Central Plains." Song Chengfeng's voice was a little heavy, because even he would feel the pressure in the face of a terrifying behemoth like the Huo family.

"When the time comes, neither your elder brother nor I will stand by!" Chu Xiaoya felt sorry for her younger brother, but directly gave Xu Luo a reassurance.

"Also, that girl named Su Qianqian, I've seen her before." When Chu Xiaoya said that, she smiled at Xu Luo with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

Xu Luo was a little embarrassed at the time, but he could only bite the bullet and asked, "Is she okay?"

Chu Xiaoya gave Xu Luo a blank look: "Should I say you are ruthless, or should I say you are merciless? She is not good!"
