Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

Although he has been here for two years, Hou Yuxiao still feels a little unreal when thinking back to all that happened to him and the many special features of this world.

This is an ancient world where martial arts are rampant and good and evil are divided. It is somewhat similar to a comic book adaptation of a movie in the past.

Thousands of years ago, the dynasty of the great Yu Dynasty lost its deer, and all the heroes in the world chased it. In the end, there were ten great forces that won, including six of the righteous path and four of the demonic path.

Not only did these ten families proclaim themselves saint-level powers and carve up thirteen continents in the world, they also jointly formulated a five-level power system under them to distinguish and control all the small powers under their command.

The so-called five-level power system refers to the five levels below the holy level: heaven, earth, first-rate, second-rate, and third-level. The levels of these powers, on the one hand, correspond to their own martial arts strength, and on the other hand, they also represent their influence on surroundings.

of influence.

People say that the third rate cannot leave the county, the second rate suppresses the county magnates, the first rate town government platform, the prefectural level power radiates to several mansions, and the heaven level suppresses one, it can be regarded as one of the few big forces in the world, second only to the ten holy level sects.

.

These five levels of forces, plus the ten holy-level sects, firmly control everything in this world.

And the Hou family that Hou Yuxiao belongs to is just a small family in the county that is not even a third-rate family.

Two years ago, the Hou family was undergoing a great change. The head of the family, Hou Tong, was killed, and the original owner of this body was also beaten to death. This gave him the opportunity to travel through time.

The fifth son of the Hou family, relying on his father Hou Tong's reputation as a black ape demon, has done all kinds of evil to bring trouble to the village. The body he inherited makes him the eldest among the five sons, the bad guy among the bad guys, and has done all kinds of bad things.

Two years ago, his father Hou Tong was killed, and his body also died. The rest of the tribe also suffered from casualties and injuries. One can imagine the situation of the Hou family at that time.

Hou Yuxiao understood the division of power levels in the world and knew that the Hou family was just a small family with low-level magic. Coupled with the situation they faced at that time, he originally planned to leave directly.

But when he saw three younger brothers and one younger sister, he still softened his heart. In addition, he inherited the original owner's obsession with the great change, so he ultimately did not leave, but chose to stay.

The path of heaven is endless, and the first-grade divine lotus of good and evil he brought over lit up a black petal at that moment, and then gave him the function of perfect transformation.

So Hou Yuxiao relied on such a function, coupled with a good strategy, and of course... some little luck, to lead the Hou family and miraculously survive under the encirclement and suppression of three other unconventional forces in Zhaoyang County.

Came down.

His title of Thousand-Faced Jade Man, which is now spread throughout the three nearby counties, was achieved in the past two years by relying on the transformation function of the first-class God of Good and Evil Lotus.

It is rumored that he is good at disguise, but in fact this is not the case.

There are too many ways to deal with disguises in the world. Not to mention Yuan Gang Pearl, even a slightly more experienced martial arts person can see it through smell and even body movements.

The transformation effect of the God of Good and Evil Lotus, both in appearance and aura, completely transformed him into a completely different person. It was seamless.

Of course, there is a big premise, that is, he must have met this person and must have physical contact with him.

As he approached Zhaoyang County, Hou Yuxiao felt a lot more relaxed. After all, Tianling County in Xuzhou was within the sphere of influence of the Righteous Path. He had stayed there as a member of the Demonic Path for more than a month, and he still felt somewhat uneasy.

"Brother, have you got the Yuan Gang Pearl?"

Although Hou Yucheng has a cruel and murderous temper, he is still quite docile in front of his eldest brother, Hou Yuxiao. Seeing that Hou Yuxiao's frowning during the official meeting just now finally relaxed, he took the initiative to ask, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

excited.

Since Hou Tong's father Hou Tong passed away two years ago, Hou Yu has rarely had such an excited tone.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Hou Yuxiao's mouth. He reached out and took out four thumb-sized transparent orbs from his arms. He glanced at Hou Yucheng and then spoke with a slightly sad tone.

"This thing is not cheap. One thousand, five hundred taels apiece. I brought more than five thousand taels of silver when I left home. If I hadn't brought some medicinal materials to exchange for silver, I almost wouldn't even have enough money!"

Hou Yucheng's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the beads. Hearing Hou Yuxiao's words, he shook his head and said: "No matter how expensive it is, it's worth it! If brother can break through the Gang Qi realm, we won't have to suffer from those three families anymore. It's the county."

If you respect Ren Feng, you have to sell your eldest brother’s face.”

Hou Yuxiao naturally knows the truth, but six thousand taels of silver is indeed too expensive for the current Hou family.

Hou's two major industries, one is iron ore and the other is medicinal materials, are both concentrated in Nanling Mountain in Zhaoyang County. The combined annual income is only 410 taels of gold. After deducting nearly half of the cost, it can really be used in

The family has 210 taels of gold, which is equivalent to 21,000 taels of silver.

If you were born in an ordinary family, based on the market price of two copper coins for a steamed bun, and one tael of silver for one hundred copper coins, 21,000 taels would definitely be considered a huge sum of money.

But the problem is that although the Hou family is not popular, they are still a serious gangster force. It is impossible for the five brothers and sisters to just provide food and clothing.

The poor in literature and the rich in martial arts are not empty words.

Besides, there are not just the five of them in the Hou family, there are nearly a thousand people in the Hou family, and every move is filled with money.

This trip cost six thousand taels, no wonder Hou Yuxiao felt distressed.

"By the way, I took 6,000 taels from Lao Wu. In the past month or so, there have been no problems in the family's accounts, right?"

Hou Yucheng shook his head and looked at Hou Yuxiao, his expression became a little strange.

"You Yuduan looked at it, but there was nothing wrong, but you didn't even say hello, and just took the money in the warehouse. He has a big opinion on you now, saying that a gentleman loves money, gets it in a wise way, and doesn't tell anyone

And he took it for the purpose of stealing. When you go back, he will definitely talk to you about it!"

As soon as he heard these words, Hou Yuxiao's face suddenly turned dark. Thinking that Hou Yuduan would catch him chanting sutras when he returned, even the joy of returning home was much lessened.

"By the way, brother, there is something I haven't told you yet. Five days ago, I killed more than 20 people from Feiyingmen in Nanling Mountain. They are probably all holding fire in their hearts. They will definitely talk to you about this when you come back.

Yes."

"Why did you start fighting with others?"

"It's none of my business. I took people to Nanling Mountain to collect herbs. I happened to run into Tie Tucheng. That turtle boy couldn't walk well and glared at me. I couldn't help but fight him a few times.

, who knew he was so unbeaten, I was relatively calm, knowing that I would be in trouble if I killed him, so I killed the more than 20 people around him."

Seeing Hou Yucheng's proud expression, obviously proud of his calm handling, Hou Yuxiao looked helpless.

Then I thought of the third child Hou Yuling and the fourth child Hou Yujie, and I sighed slightly in my heart.

That's all. Anyway, there are no normal people in this family. We only got into such trouble after being out for more than a month. It's okay, okay!

"Let's talk about it after we go back first."

………………

Zhaoyang County is located in the east of Yongzhou, under the jurisdiction of Xiayuan Daoxingnan Prefecture. It is one of the three counties under Tongling County. It is also the weakest of the three counties.

There is no way. It has the smallest area, the smallest population, and is still weak. It doesn't even have a third-rate force, which is even worse.

The entire territory of Yongzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Rakshasa Holy Cult. All officials responsible for governing a certain area are naturally appointed by the Holy Cult. Generally speaking, the county magistrate must have at least a cultivation level of the Gang Qi Realm.

Zhaoyang County’s Zun Renfeng is indeed a martial artist of the Gang Qi realm.

But the problem is that he is already over 130 years old, and the maximum lifespan of a Condensing Gang Realm warrior is 150 years, so this person can only live a good life of 10 to 20 years at most.

For such a half-buried man to be appointed as the magistrate of Zhaoyang County, one can only imagine how little attention the superiors paid to Zhaoyang County!

But no matter what, Hou Yuxiao still likes this feeling of not being taken seriously.

In just a short time, the four of them arrived at Zhaoyang County.

After staying in Tianling County for more than a month, Hou Yuxiao gained a lot of knowledge.

After all, under the rule of the devil, Zhaoyang County is still very different from Tianling County under the rule of the righteous way in terms of street layout, residents' appearance, and even the prosperity of the city.

There are only four long streets and a large residential area in the entire city. Four of them are located in the south, west, north, and middle directions. The first three streets are the spheres of influence of the Hou family, Feiyingmen, and the Green Wolf Gang respectively.

The street in the middle is naturally under the jurisdiction of Renfeng, the county appointee appointed by the Holy Religion.

From this we can also see the terror of the Holy Religion. Even in a place as insignificant as Zhaoyang County, there are still traces of the Rakshasa Holy Religion, let alone other places.

The group was led by the skinny Hou Yuxiao, and the burly Hou Yucheng led the fierce-maned horse, escorting Tian Honglu and Duan Zhengqi, and walked into the city gate.

After all, Zhaoyang County is still within the sphere of influence of the devil, and there are quite a few people who commit crimes and commit crimes.

Not to mention such a special combination of four people, Tian Honglu's divine horse with strong mane was enough to attract many malicious eyes in the city. People on both sides of the street stopped and looked at the four people.

The whispers began.

"Tsk, tsk, this horse is too tall. I'm afraid it will sell for more than a thousand taels!"

"Such a magical horse, more than a thousand taels, you can't imagine it."

"That little lady is so cute, let's..."

"You don't want your life. Didn't you see Hou Laoer standing there?"

…………

Zhaoyang County does not know that there are not many Hou Laoer people, but there are none at all.

He was the most ill-tempered member of the Hou family, a ruthless man who would spill blood on the streets at every turn. Rumor has it that when he was in a bad mood, he would even kick the dogs on the roadside.

Last year, in front of the county magistrate Ren Feng, Yu Cheng, the eldest disciple of Qinglang Gang leader Tan Gang, was chopped into two pieces with one knife.

At that time, Hou Yucheng's strength was only at the eighth level.

If his eldest brother, Boss Hou, hadn't come forward to dissuade him that time, he would have dared to recruit even the leader of the Green Wolf Gang.

From now on, everyone in Zhaoyang County knows that this Hou Yucheng is a master who does not want his life. If you are not sure that Boss Hou will come to intercede for you, then just wait for death!

"Hey, it's really Hou Laoer. Who is that skinny guy in front of you?"

"Idiot, who else can make Hou Laoer follow behind so obediently..."

…………

The discussion in the crowd was neither too loud nor too quiet. As soon as the last voice came out, everyone suddenly became quiet and focused all their attention on Hou Yuxiao, with a look of fear on his face.

"It's Boss Hou!"

"Boss Hou is back?"

"Definitely, there is no one else but him."

"I said I haven't heard anything from Boss Hou for a while. Looking at that little lady, he must have kidnapped her from somewhere else. I don't know whose girl is going to be harmed again. Hey..."

"You are quite compassionate and have the guts to be a hero and save beauties. Maybe the young lady will agree to you as soon as she is moved."

"Go, go, go, I want to live a few more years!"

Hou Yuxiao, who was about to walk out of the end of the street, heard the voice coming from his ears, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"In two years, my notoriety in Zhaoyang County has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Unfortunately, the second black petal cannot be opened for the time being. I can only think of ways to do good deeds and light up the first white petal...

To do good deeds... To do good deeds, you can only go to Lao Wu!"

Thinking of the silly scholar at home who would talk at length whenever he had nothing to do, Hou Yuxiao's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
