Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

At the gate of the Hou Mansion, behind Hou Yuxiao stood a dozen or so senior family members. Among Hou Fei and his group who had returned from a distance, they saw a burly middle-aged man wearing silver armor. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, he cupped his fists and bowed slightly before speaking.

"Long time no see, Commander Gui is still as charming as ever!"

The person who came to Zhaoyang County with Hou Fei was none other than Gui Yutang, the commander of the Xingnan Prefecture Army who had helped Hou Yuxiao in the county town.

When Gui Yutang saw Hou Yuxiao bowing to him, he quickly dismounted his horse, bowed in the same way, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Hou is now the lord of Zhaoyang City. With this great ceremony, Gui will be offended!"

Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the Hou family members nearby became more intense. Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but smile. She called Hou Fei and others to stop their horses, and she pulled Gui Yutang into the main hall of the Hou Mansion. The two maids

Busily serving hot tea.

Gui Yutang was sitting in the guest seat. He glanced around at the people behind Hou Yuxiao in the hall. When he saw Hou Yuduan and Hou Yujie, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

"I forgot to introduce to Commander Gui. Hou has four compatriots. The second brother and third sister Commander Gui have met. This is my fourth brother Hou Yujie, and this is my fifth brother Hou Yuduan. Neither of them have been to the county.

inside."

"Hou Yujie, I have met Commander Gui!"

"Junior Hou Yuduan has met Commander Gui!"

When the two of them heard Hou Yuxiao introduce themselves, they hurried forward and saluted Gui Yutang with clasped fists.

Gui Yutang looked at the two people with a look of shock in his eyes. Then he looked at Hou Yuxiao, as well as Hou Yucheng and Hou Yuling behind him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He shook his head and said with a smile: "I thought that the head of the Hou family

Having two such outstanding younger brothers and sisters makes others envious. I never expected that there would be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in my family.

Since the head of the Hou family is the elder brother, these four must all be under thirty, with three and a half steps of Gang Qi and two in Gang Qi realm.

Tsk tsk Gui has been in Tongling for so many years, and has never seen so many geniuses from one family. If an ordinary family produces a junior as outstanding as the five of you, I'm afraid they will laugh out loud. You, the Hou family, have one skill and five skills.

Jie, Wei Dao has become famous in Tongling in just two years and has been promoted to the top. It is really enviable..."

Hou Yuxiao and the other five people did not expect that Gui Yutang would suddenly praise him like this, and their expressions were slightly strange. However, Hou Fei and others behind them had a look of pride on their faces, and they felt quite proud.

"Commander Gui is so ridiculous. The five of us just got lucky and got the care of the Holy Aunt. Otherwise, how would we have such strength!"

After Hou Yuxiao's face turned strange, a sense of solemnity appeared in his heart. Gui Yutang's words gave him a wake-up call.

The cultivation of the five of them is indeed a bit abnormal. Although it cannot be compared with those of Sikong Yue and the descendants of the Holy Land, it is indeed a bit conspicuous when looking at a county. If they are led by some people with ill intentions, it will not be possible.

It's really going to cause trouble.

Fortunately, he still has a snake oil excuse.

Hearing Hou Yuxiao say that the holy aunt was taking care of him, the shock on Gui Yutang's face subsided a lot, and he showed a thoughtful look, nodded and said: "So, if there is a holy aunt taking care of me, then it will indeed make sense.

"

There was a hint of envy in his tone, and he was obviously jealous that Hou Yuxiao could be cared for by the holy aunt.

After Gui Yutang finished speaking, he did not continue to speak. Instead, he took a small box from the hand of the entourage nearby. He noticed that everyone in the Hou family had excitement on their faces, and smiled softly.

"Gui has come here to do two things. The first thing is, I think the head of the Hou family and you all have already figured it out, right?"

"May I ask Commander Gui if the documents and bronze seals of the holy religion have been made?"

When everyone in the Hou family heard what Hou Yuxiao asked, their eyes staring at Gui Yutang became more and more excited, including Hou Yuxiao.

The documents for Hou's promotion to the current class were confirmed on February 24th. Peng Fuyin brought them back to Xingnan Mansion and then sent them to the Holy Sect's main altar. After the Holy Sect confirmed it, they made a copper seal and sent people back layer by layer.

.

They calculated that this process would take at least forty days. Now that two months have passed, everyone has become a little impatient to wait. Today, Gui Yutang arrived, and everyone already knew it.

"Hahaha, it seems that you all can't wait any longer. Gui will not give in. Head of the Hou family, please come forward and receive the documents and the copper seal."

Hou Yuxiao looked solemn and stepped forward to bow to the box in Gui Yutang's hand.

Gui Yutang took out a golden scroll from the box. After slowly opening it, two golden lights were projected from it. The first one penetrated into Hou Yuxiao's body, and the second one shot straight into the sky and turned into a line of light in the air.

point.

"The Rakshasa is immortal, and the Holy Cult is eternal. Now there is the Hou family, which is under the rule of the Holy Cult. In Zhaoyang County, Tongling County, Xingnan Prefecture, the Hou family has prosperous fortunes and a prosperous population. It is not easy for the leader to express his gratitude. On the third day of the year 1322 of the New Yu Calendar

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the name of Zhaoyang Hou family was specially given, ranking third-rate, with a reputation that shook the whole county, and was famous in Tongling!"

Gui Yutang's voice was not only heard in the main hall of the Hou Mansion.

In the sky above Zhaoyang County, the spot of light suddenly bloomed, instantly attracting everyone's attention. The golden light gradually turned into a ghost scroll in the air, and then an ancient voice reached everyone's ears.

"The Rakshasa is immortal, and the Holy Cult is eternal. Now there is the Hou family, which is under the rule of the Holy Cult. In Zhaoyang County, Tongling County, Xingnan Prefecture, the Hou family has prosperous fortunes and a prosperous population. It is not easy for the leader to express his gratitude. On the third day of the year 1322 of the New Yu Calendar

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the name Zhaoyang Hou was specially given to him. He was ranked third in rank, his reputation shocked the whole county, and his name was known to Tongling!"

At the same time, Baiye County, Yulin County, Daluo Sect in the county, and the heads of the eight incoming forces in the county all raised their heads and looked towards Zhaoyang County to the east, with dull expressions.

There is smile, there is anger, there is anger, they are all different.

Obviously, they all heard the voice of the holy document.

No matter how these people feel, starting from today, they must accept the fact that the eight major forces in Tongling County will be changed into nine major forces from today, and the Zhaoyang Hou family is already among them!

…………

In the main hall of the Hou Mansion, Hou Yuxiao took the document from Gui Yutang, as well as the red brass seal of a four-legged scaled tiger, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

With this copper seal, he can issue road guides. The warriors of the Hou family in Tongling County will have unimpeded access in the future. Even if they are cross-county roads, he can also temporarily issue road guides.

At the same time, every five years, the Hou family can recommend a person to go to Xingnan Prefecture to take the exam and be selected. From now on, the taxes paid by the Hou family to the Holy Cult will also be reduced by 10%.

Of course, the most important thing is that from today on, the Zhaoyang Hou family has truly entered the palace!

Looking at the thirteen continents in the world, a third-rate person is certainly nothing, but... this is just the beginning of the Hou family. Only with this beginning can there be a future.

"Meet the master!"

The Hou family members behind them could not suppress their excitement. They all knelt down towards Hou Yuxiao and shouted respectfully.

This sound brought Hou Yuxiao's thoughts back to the main hall, and his mood calmed down a lot. He first signaled everyone to get up, then looked back at Gui Yutang next to him, and said softly: "General Gui is laughing!"

Gui Yutang obviously understood the excitement of everyone in the Hou family. He smiled, clasped his fists and bowed slightly to Hou Yuxiao, saying: "Zhaoyang Hou family, leave your name in the general altar. From today on, Gui will also be called the head of the Hou family.

!”

There was a hint of understanding in Hou Yuxiao's eyes. Although Gui Yutang's politeness had something to do with Hou's promotion to the mainstream today, the battle he killed Cheng Yue in the county seat probably had a bigger reason.

Reputation is very important, because fame can largely reflect a person's strength. Compared with the strength he showed in killing Cheng Yue, today's promotion to the top seems a bit late.

The two exchanged a few words together, and Gui Yutang's face gradually became serious. Seeing this, Hou Yuxiao knew that he was about to start talking about the second thing.

"I wonder if Master Hou knows anything about demons in the world?"

When they heard the word "demon", Hou Yuxiao, including the four and five men behind him, all had a look of uneasiness in their eyes.

"I've heard a little bit, and it's rumored that demons were originally just ordinary mountain sprites. They only became spirits because they absorbed the brilliance of the sun and moon all year round. Hou Mou has never seen one in his many years of life!"

Commander Gui shook his head and said: "The so-called absorbing the brilliance of the sun and moon is just nonsense in the records of monsters. Ordinary wild animals are not spiritually intelligent, and those mountain spirits and plants are even more heartless. If they just rely on the brilliance of the sun and moon, they can become spirits.

, for thousands of years, this world has been filled with fairies."

The birth of a demon? Hou Yuxiao had never heard of this, so he immediately became interested and asked, "Hou is willing to hear the details!"

"There are thousands of demons in this world, of all kinds, whether they are flowers, plants, trees, birds, insects, tigers, or beasts. The reason why they become spirits is because of the evil spirits."

"A resentful spirit is causing trouble?"

"Yes, there is great terror between life and death. Before an old person dies, resentment will grow in his heart and his soul will remain, becoming a resentful spirit.

The more intense the resentment, the more difficult it is for the resentment to disappear. No matter what the body of these so-called demons is, the reason why they become spirits is because they accidentally eat these resentment spirits and inherit their resentment during life, resulting in temperament.

He changed drastically and became an evil beast specializing in harming people.

Herbivorous animals such as sheep are peaceful in nature, but as soon as they become sperm, their temperament will change drastically, and they will become murderous and cruel, and they will eat humans!"

Hou Yuxiao's expression condensed and he said: "So, the more a demon absorbs more resentful spirits, the stronger it will be?"

"Yes, the previous dynasty divided the world's demons into nine ranks. The lowest ninth rank was as powerful as a Dan-holding warrior, which shows how terrifying these demons are."

Hou Yuxiao still knew these things. Not only did he know, he had also seen them with his own eyes, but he would definitely not tell them. Seeing Gui Yutang's face gradually becoming serious, he asked softly with a hint of speculation.

: "Could it be that some powerful demon was discovered in the county?"

Gui Yutang's face darkened and he nodded.

"Ninth grade?"

Hou Yuxiao asked tentatively, and when he saw Gui Yutang shaking his head, his heart suddenly sank.

So he started talking about the eighth grade again, but found that Gui Yutang still shook his head, and his pupils suddenly became solemn.

"Seventh grade?"

Gui Yutang didn't need to continue playing riddles with him. He looked directly at him, spoke in an extremely serious tone, and spoke slowly.

"Fifth-grade, equivalent to the Yin-Yang Saint Realm Venerable in martial arts, with the ability to rival a great Confucian... a fifth-grade great demon!"

After Gui Yutang finished speaking, Hou Yuxiao immediately stood up from his chair, his face full of shock, as were the Hou family members behind him.

In the midst of the shock, Hou Yuduan and Hou Yujie reacted the most intensely...
