Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 138 Reaction

　　　He family.

 The main courtyard is located in the center of the residence.

In the luxurious hall decorated with jade, gold and silver, He Zhengya leaned on his cane and looked at He Guangxun who walked in, and asked slowly: "What's the saying over there at the Xueyin Tower?"

900,000 taels of silver is not a small amount. Xueyinlou suddenly suspended its mission and requested that the price be increased to 30 million taels to continue the mission. This was also an unbearable burden for the He family.

Although the He family is one of the four major families in Yu County and governs tens of millions of people in Yu County. It has developed in Yu County for nearly a hundred years and has more than hundreds of millions of taels of silver. The problem is that most of the silver taels are used as industries, such as those outside the county. The large estates and the operation of various businesses, coupled with the training of thousands of elite swordsmen guarding the courtyard, as well as some elite swordsmen in Yijin Realm.

 It is basically impossible to come up with 30 million taels in one go.

What's more, the most critical question is, why is Chen Mu worth thirty million taels of silver? Even nine hundred thousand taels is a bit too expensive in He Zhengya's opinion. If Xueyin Tower wasn't famous, it would be better to let one of his own people go there. Give it a try.

He Guangxun walked into the hall with an ugly expression.

"The people at Xueyin Tower said that the information about Chen Mu is worth nine hundred thousand taels. If you want to know the reason, you will not be refunded the previous money... I think this is strange. I believe in the name of Xueyin Tower, so I made the decision without authorization. Silver exchanged information."

He Zhengya frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "So what is so unusual about this matter?"

He Guangxun took a deep breath, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Father, we have all underestimated Chen Mu. Now we all think that he only realized the artistic conception of Xunfeng on the eve of the demon chaos. In fact, this person has more than one artistic conception at all, and he also masters the thunder artistic conception, perhaps even earlier than Xunfeng mastered it."

 “Thunder?”

He Zhengya looked startled.

In the past, Chen Mu's name did not catch his eye, but since Chen Mu showed his artistic conception in the demon chaos, the He family collected all kinds of information about Chen Mu and handed it over to him, and Chen Mu passed by It was easy to collect information. He was a low-level police officer. He probably developed a sword technique based on the sword skills he picked up, and then caught Xu Hongyu's eyes.

Moreover, the sword skills that Chen Mu has always shown are of the Xunfeng lineage. If he understood the artistic conception of Xunfeng in the Yu family, it would not be strange to understand the artistic conception of Xunfeng if his understanding and talent are high enough. However, Zhenlei is It came out of nowhere.

"Not only that, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that Mingxuan died at the hands of this person. At that time, Chen Mu had already practiced Yi Jin to an almost perfect level, and now this person has even stepped into the bone forging! "

He Guangxun’s face was very ugly.

He Zhengya's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, and said: "Forging bones? Are you telling the truth?"

“The information on Xueyin Tower should not be false.”

He Guangxun’s voice was a little dry.

Mastering the two artistic conceptions of wind and thunder, it can only be said that Chen Mu has extremely high understanding. However, after all, Chen Mu practiced the body tempering method very late. He is now nearly twenty-six years old. If he had entered the Yijin realm not long ago, then he would have been able to do it before the age of thirty. After reaching the perfection of Yijin, it is possible to break through the bone forging, but if you want to hit the five internal organs realm, you may not be able to keep up at that age, and there is a high probability that you will not succeed.

A bone-forging perfection, the existence of two artistic conceptions, although they are very strong and can make it difficult for the He family to deal with, they cannot overturn the essential situation between the He family and the Yu family.

 It can be done now.

 Chen Mu has actually entered the bone forging stage!

Judging from Chen Mu's practice time in the past, I am afraid that he has practiced the body tempering method for less than four years. In such a short period of time, he has gone through the three realms of skin grinding, meat training, and muscle-changing, and has entered bone forging. How terrifying is this? progress!

Although there are still some people in the world who are born with copper skin and iron bones, Chen Mu is not yet twenty-six years old this year. He has entered the realm of bone forging. He will almost certainly reach the perfection of bone forging before the age of thirty. In addition, His body has been trained horizontally and his qi and blood are much stronger than ordinary people, so the possibility of impacting the five internal organs realm will be very high.

 Once Chen Mu enters the five internal organs realm, the situation of the He family and the Yu family will really be overturned!

At that time, it will no longer be the He family waiting for the person from the Yu family to age and die, but it will be the Yu family's turn to slowly wait for the person from their family to decline... Mainly, among the four generations of the He family, the last The outstanding He Mingzhen also died in Huangyuan Mountain.

 Thinking of this.

He Zhengya looked even more ugly and said: "In the realm of wind and thunder, the realm of bone forging, I'm afraid Ming Zhen also died in his hands. It was probably because the earthquake in the desert mountains shook out the rare treasure. I didn't know its strength during the fight, and I was caught off guard." Killed by it."

He Guangxun clenched his fists tightly and said: "I have always underestimated this person in the past, but now it seems that this person's talent is even higher than that of Xu Yichuan, and he is also more cunning and cunning. He can be so forbearing at such a young age, and his future will be inevitable." This is a serious problem for the He family, and it must be eradicated as soon as possible no matter what."

"Disaster."

He Zhengya said with a gloomy face: "This person has become a traitor, and it is difficult to get rid of him by ordinary means. The asking price of Xueyin Tower is too high, thirty million taels. Even if he can get it, he will definitely break his muscles and bones and cause eight hundred losses. What's more? It is impossible to transfer such a large amount of money quietly from the Yu family's informants. If the supervisor is involved again, the situation will become even more unfavorable."

 The realm of forging bones, the body of horizontal training, the artistic conception of wind and thunder.

With all these things put together, there are almost no one in the Bone Forging Realm who can kill Chen Mu, and only those in the Five Zang Realm can take action.

"That…"

He Guangxun looked at He Zhengya and said nothing, but He Zhengya also understood what He Guangxun meant.

 He sighed.

"Although I don't want to alarm the old man, this matter should indeed be reported. How to deal with it can only be decided by the old man. It is no longer my decision."

 …

　　 Yu family.

 Ancient courtyard.

This is a very quiet and elegant place located at the eastern end of the Yu family's residence. It occupies a large area, but there are no towering pavilions, only small houses located in it.

There are rockeries and ponds in the courtyard, which is almost an enlarged version of Xu Hongyu’s courtyard, but it doesn’t have the air of a girl’s house, and is more pure and elegant.

 By the pond.

 An old man with white beard and hair is fishing.

Judging from the beard and hair, he is at least an old man of seventy or eighty years old, but there are no wrinkles on his face, and his face is full of red, just like the appearance of the immortal with "crane hair and childish face" in the legend.

 He is the last head of the Yu family and the first surviving member of the Yu family who once served as a deacon of the Qixuan Sect.

Yu Jiujiang.

It seems that we are fishing, but the hook at the end of the hanging fishing line is a straight hook without any bait. But even so, the fish in the pond are still spinning around the straight hook without bait, and they are extremely close. The whole person seemed to be integrated with the pond. Even the straight hook, fishing line, and entire fishing rod seemed to be part of the water in the pond, and the clear spring water extending from it.

 Suddenly.

Someone came to the yard, walked respectfully behind Yu Jiujiang, stopped about a foot away, said something in a low voice, and then bowed and retreated.

Quietly, a ripple suddenly appeared in the pond, and the hanging fishing line swayed gently in the water.

 

I swung the fishing rod up, pulled up the fishing line and the fishhook, and saw that there was no fish caught at the end of the straight fishhook, but there was a group of clear pond water and the entire fishhook, and the water flow surged. In a moment, it transformed into the shape of a koi. After a few smart struggles, it fell back into the pond with a plop, merged with the pond water again, and returned to a ball of ordinary clear water.

Yu Jiujiang slowly put away his fishing rod and looked at the water of the pond, with a trace of joy flashing in his eyes.

 “Chen Mu…”

 “The artistic conception of wind and thunder, practicing horizontally to strengthen the bones…”

"After Yichuan, I thought that it would be difficult for the Yu family to have a chance to meet again. I never thought that although you are no longer here, the red jade girl you left behind is still the blessing of the Yu family. Before I return to the ruins, I finally have another chance. Hope.”

 On weekdays, no one comes to disturb the ancient courtyard.

Normally trivial matters will not be reported to him.

However, Xu Hongyu’s marriage was reported to him not long ago, as well as some information about Chen Mu. At that time, he only felt that Xu Hongyu was indeed a good match, but now, it is no longer a good match.

The future fate of the entire Yu family will most likely fall on Chen Mu, and Chen Mu's qualifications and talents are even higher than those of Xu Yichuan back then. If he joins the Qixuan Sect, there will probably be competition among the true disciples. Qualifications, the possibility of entering the five internal organs realm in the future is also very high.

 Him today.

 Sitting by the pond.

Use the method of turtle breathing to keep your own vitality and prevent it from losing.

But after all, he is too old. He has reached his twilight years. He is ninety-two. Even a person in the five internal organs realm cannot resist the rotation of heaven and earth, decay and death. Even if he tries his best to minimize the loss of vitality, If you use the Turtle Breath method to survive, you can maintain your strength for at most two or three years. Once you cannot maintain your vitality, you will quickly decline.

 “Be quick.”

Yu Jiujiang murmured softly.

 The maintenance for the past two or three years is also dependent on him not taking action with others. In his current state, once he does take action with others, the period of maintenance will be shorter due to the severe losses.

 Once these two or three years have passed, he will only have some deterrent power left.

With Chen Mu's talent and qualifications, he can reach the bone forging realm in just a few years. I am afraid that he will definitely be able to enter the realm of the five internal organs in the future. However, two or three years is too short, and I don't know if he can catch up.

 …

 Central of the inner city.

Behind the city lord's palace, there is a brand new tower.

Occasionally, people pass by, but they don't dare to look more at the pavilion. Even if they glance at it with their peripheral vision, their eyes show deep awe, which is even deeper than looking at the City Lord's Mansion. .

 This is the Inspection Department.

A big shot from the state capital, a supervisory envoy is personally in charge, and his authority overrides all the government agencies in Yu County. He has the highest authority of "supervising a hundred agencies and inspecting a county." Even the city lord Xue Huaikong will now be subject to Its moderation.

However, after the establishment of the Supervision Department, it did not interfere too much with the original order of Yucheng. The manpower included was mainly based on the intelligence department that integrated the various government agencies in Yu County. All intelligence information from all the government agencies in Yu County, They all have to go through the Supervision Department first, and then operate in various government agencies.

 This is originally the responsibility of the Inspection Department.

But in fact, everyone knows that the Supervision Department is more focused on the four major sects of Tianjian Hehuan and Xueyin Xuanji.

Located on the top floor of the Supervision Department, there is a small pavilion. Outside the pavilion, a young-looking figure wearing white clothes, holding a book in his hand, looks like a scholar. He is standing on the edge of the pavilion, overlooking the inner city. Yasi.

Looking at the entire Yu County today, there is naturally only one person who can stand here with a calm expression.

 Yuzhou Supervisory Envoy.

 Yan Jingqing, a scholar in white.

"grown ups."

 Suddenly a voice came from behind: "I have something to report."

Yan Jingqing stood with a calm expression. After hearing the report from behind, a slight wave appeared in his pure eyes. He slowly turned around and looked at his subordinates behind him with a thoughtful expression.

 “Chen…Mu?”

"Yu County still has such talented people. There were indeed some problems with Qixuan Sect's past efforts. Such people will be lost, but since they are from the Yu family and serve in the Demon Slayer Department, they are not lost. It’s just that the He family and the Yu family..."

Yan Jingqing shook his head slightly.

The He family and the Yu family have been grudges for a long time, which is a conflict that exists in the Qixuan Sect, but he doesn't have much contact with these two families, so he is not interested in intervening. After all, compared to those who stand in the prefecture, they are more For a family that is huge, intricately connected, and whose background even involves the elders of the Qixuan Sect, the He family and the Yu family are the powerful ones in Yu County. Looking at Yuzhou, they are nothing at all.

In short, he came to Yu County this time, firstly to control the situation in Yu County and contain the four major sects, and secondly, to recruit talents. Although Chen Mu was not suitable for joining the Qixuan Sect at his age, he could work as a demon slayer or supervisor. Si Yimai, there is no difference.

 After all, in the state of Yuzhou, everyone from the state pastoral inspector to the county guard and demon slayer division all belong to the Qixuan Sect.

 It's just that the disciples of the sect are more formal.

Like Yan Jingqing, he was not born as a disciple of the sect, but was promoted from the Demon Slayer Division, but his background was not as humble as Chen Mu's, and he started from a lowly level like a low-level sergeant.
