Siheyuan: a hole in the sky with you

Chapter 445 Growth (first update, please subscribe!)

Zhou Jianguo was a little angry. It was just a small setback, and Xu Yuan became like this.

Without any nonsense, Zhou Jianguo stepped forward, grabbed Xu Yuan, and yelled at him: "Brother, if you are more awake, why are you useless? Think about it, when Uncle Xu was your age, did you have any

Are you strong? Do you have the conditions you have now? Also, among the young people around you, who is stronger than you?"

Zhou Jianguo's voice was very loud, and the strength in his hands was so strong that Xu Yuan felt as if his shoulders were about to be crushed.

However, these words completely dispelled the shadow in Xu Yuan's heart. His eyes slowly lit up, and he couldn't help thinking: "Yes, Jianguo is right. When my father was my age, he didn't

With my strength and connections, he can achieve such an achievement, why can’t I? Besides, those young friends around me. Haha.”

Xu Yuan laughed with great disdain. His current strength is definitely ranked among the younger generation, or to put it bluntly, he is the strongest.

Anyway, he has fought against everyone else, and no one is his opponent.

Even though he is still only an An Jin in terms of strength, this is only at the realm of martial arts. As a Qi Refiner, he has second-rate strength.

The second-rate strength, coupled with An Jin, is enough to sweep away the younger generation, and even if he faces Dan Jin level martial arts masters, he is still capable of fighting.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's inner depression disappeared and he regained his original spirit.

"Jianguo, thank you!" Xu Yuan sincerely thanked Zhou Jianguo. If it weren't for Zhou Jianguo's shout this time, he didn't know when he would be able to come out.

Seeing Xu Yuan come out, Zhou Jianguo was also very happy, "Brother, we are a family. As a family, there is no need to say thank you, as long as you are good."

After a pause, Zhou Jianguo joked with a smile: "Besides, brother, if you really want to thank me, you have to treat me to a good meal, right? Just a thank you, brother, this is too shabby!

"

Xu Yuan shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do against Zhou Jianguo. However, after being teased like this by Zhou Jianguo, his heart felt warm.

Only his family would forgive him like this and joke with him like this.

After knowing the real reason why he was kicked out of Jinyiwei by his father, Xu Yuan's inner thoughts became more firm.

"Jianguo, I heard that you are now teaching martial arts to the children in the courtyard?"

Xu Yuan stood up and looked into the yard. There were seven or eight children in the yard.

If in other places, these children are either playing in the mud or playing games like hide-and-seek, but here, these seven or eight children are practicing boxing extremely seriously in the yard, and, look at their performance

The power and angle of the punch were obviously getting a bit heated.

"They are all good kids, and they are so excited now. Jianguo, you are really awesome!"

Xu Yuan really admired Zhou Jianguo. These were seven or eight-year-old children with very weak concentration in their hearts. It would be impossible for ordinary people to make them become so obedient. Not only did they not go outside to play, they also practiced martial arts conscientiously in the courtyard.

Just for this point, Xu Yuan admired him greatly.

Xu Yuan had helped train the seven or eight-year-old children in Jinyiwei's training camp before. During that period, it was definitely considered to be the most troublesome time for Xu Yuan so far.

(Don’t get me wrong, those children were all orphans. I believe everyone knows that the situation was not very good at that time, so there were many orphans. Jin Yiwei trained these orphans to give them a way out.)

Children aged seven or eight are the most naughty and mischievous. As long as one of them is not watched, they will do a lot of things for you. During that time, Xu Yuan was either looking for those children or giving them to them.

They got into trouble on the way (not a typo).

During that time, Xu Yuan felt as if he had aged ten years.

As for Zhou Jianguo, these children are all honest and do not need Zhou Jianguo to take care of them. They are very obedient and practice martial arts in the yard.

"Brother has great eyesight!" Zhou Jianguo looked at the children in the yard with a smile on his face.

Bangge and the others were at the age where they liked to play, but they were able to consciously practice boxing in the yard. Zhou Jianguo felt that his hard work was not in vain.

"How about, brother, how about you become a teacher?" Zhou Jianguo suggested.

Xu Yuan is no longer a Jinyiwei, so he comes here to use his remaining energy and help him train these boys.

"How did I become a teacher? In fact, I am." Xu Yuan hesitated and didn't want to say it, but after thinking about the danger his father was about to face, he still bravely said it.

"Jianguo, I also want to practice martial arts with them."

After saying this, Xu Yuan's face turned red.

Zhou Jianguo seemed not to notice Xu Yuan's current expression, and said calmly: "Okay, but brother, you have to get up early every morning. We will start practicing martial arts at five o'clock."

He knew that Xu Yuan had already summoned up the courage to say this, so it was best not to say anything else at this time, lest Xu Yuan would not be able to step down.

"Five o'clock, right? Okay!" Xu Yuan agreed.

As long as he can quickly improve his strength, he can get up even at three o'clock, let alone five o'clock.

"Brother, why did you think of coming to my place to practice martial arts? You were before" Zhou Jianguo asked curiously.

He actually invited Xu Yuan before, but Xu Yuan refused.

In his own words, he is already in his twenties and is an adult. It is not embarrassing to let him practice martial arts with some children of seven, eight or ten years old.

Therefore, even if Xu Yuan knew that practicing with Zhou Jianguo would improve his strength faster, he did not agree.

For Xu Yuan, who is in his twenties, face is more important than anything else at this time.

However, now, Xu Yuan has suffered a blow from society, so he is ready to 'reform his past'.

Of course, this is what Xu Yuan said. As for whether it is really the only reason, it is that benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions.

At least, Zhou Jianguo didn't believe it.

"Cough cough cough"

Xu Yuan coughed a few times, but in his heart he really didn't want to answer this question, but seeing Zhou Jianguo looking at him like this, Xu Yuan sighed helplessly and said, "Jianguo, can't you save some face for me, eldest brother?"

It's really embarrassing to talk about this matter, Xu Yuan really doesn't want to say it.

Zhou Jianguo didn't say anything, he just picked up the teapot on one side and kept adding tea to Xu Yuan. As long as he took a sip, Zhou Jianguo would add another sip to him. The connection was extremely harmonious, as if he really didn't ask.

But Xu Yuan felt uncomfortable. Being treated like this by Zhou Jianguo made him feel helpless.

"Okay, I said yes." Xu Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to tell her.

"I had a discussion with He Yuzhu before."

After saying this, Xu Yuan said nothing else.

Zhou Jianguo immediately understood what Xu Yuan meant. It was obvious that Xu Yuan should have failed in this competition, and it was a miserable defeat. Otherwise, why would Xu Yuan be so unwilling to say anything.

In fact, it was indeed the case. Xu Yuan was originally full of confidence during that sparring match, but in the end, He Yuzhu was knocked down without even receiving a single move. At that time, Xu Yuan's face was full of disbelief.

I believe there is no need to say more about what happened after that. Xu Yuan felt that he was completely humiliated. He originally wanted to show off his strength in front of He Yuzhu, but in the end, he ///pretended/// failed and was beaten instead.

He sent it to He Yuzhu himself to slap the face.

How could Xu Yuan tell others such embarrassing things?

If it weren't for Zhou Jianguo's threat this time, he would never have said anything about it. It was so embarrassing!

Coupled with his father's incident this time, Xu Yuan truly realized that strength is the most important thing.

If he had the strength, he could help his father this time instead of his father taking risks alone. Therefore, Xu Yuan put aside his own dignity and truly grew up for the first time!

Zhou Jianguo was very satisfied. He just asked that, not specifically to embarrass Xu Yuan, but to completely eliminate the last trace of immaturity in Xu Yuan's heart and let him know that face is of no use in the face of strength.

The current results are quite good, Xu Yuan has grown up.

"Brother, I have no objection if you want to practice martial arts with me, but there are some things I have to say first."

Zhou Jianguo looked at Xu Yuan seriously. There were some things that had to be discussed first, so as not to affect the family relationship between the two.

"Okay, Jianguo, just say it, brother, listen." Xu Yuan said with an indifferent expression.

He has already lost all face. Xu Yuan doesn't care if anything embarrassing happens.

Looking at Xu Yuan's lying attitude, Zhou Jianguo smiled and said: "Brother, once you join the training team in our courtyard, I will not treat you as my eldest brother when you are practicing in the future, only as your eldest brother."

You are a disciple, or a disciple of the outer sect, and you will not get much preferential treatment from me."

"This is how it should be. Since I have decided to join Jianguo's training team, of course everything will be decided by you. Whatever you say will be whatever it is. I will not object." Xu Yuan nodded, with a matter-of-fact expression.

Xu Yuan was mentally prepared like this when he decided to join Zhou Jianguo's training team.

"Brother, when the time comes that your cultivation is not up to standard, you desert, or your cultivation speed is slow, I will really beat you."

"Ah!" Xu Yuan hesitated a little when he heard that Zhou Jianguo could really fight, but he soon became firm.

He looked at Zhou Jianguo seriously and said, "Jianguo, don't worry, I will fight you. If I make a mistake, you will fight me if you should. I won't blame you."

Zhou Jianguo nodded with satisfaction. Xu Yuan's ability to say this showed that he had really made up his mind this time.

Zhou Jianguo didn't care about Xu Yuan's cultivation qualifications or his cultivation speed. What he cared about most was Xu Yuan's mentality.

Cultivation qualifications and speed are nothing in front of Zhou Jianguo, but the mentality of cultivation is not something Zhou Jianguo can interfere with. This needs to rely on Xu Yuan himself.

Now it seems that Xu Yuan is still very determined to practice, otherwise, he would not have said the above words.

As long as Xu Yuan's determination to practice is firm, with his own help, Xu Yuan will soon become a true master.

"Since you have made this determination, brother, starting from tomorrow morning, you have to gather here before five o'clock. Brother, can you do it?"

"Don't worry, it's only five o'clock, four o'clock is no problem." Xu Yuan said with a nonchalant look.

"That's good, I'll see what happens tomorrow!"

Zhou Jianguo believes that Xu Yuan can do it, but all this will have to wait until Xu Yuan actually arrives at the courtyard at five o'clock tomorrow morning. It is still too early now.

"Jianguo, how long do you think I need to practice before I can fight against those demons?" Xu Yuan looked at Zhou Jianguo expectantly.

"Why, brother, are you anxious?"

"Well, I want to improve my strength as soon as possible. Even if I can't help the old man, I can still protect the family. In this way, the old man can be less stressed." Xu Yuan said seriously.

"Brother, if Uncle Xu hears what you say, I don't know how happy he will be." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.

Protecting his family is indeed a powerful motivation, so Zhou Jianguo plans to increase the amount of training for Xu Yuan in the future.

"You kid!" Xu Yuan lightly hit Zhou Jianguo.

At this time, Xu Yuan suddenly slapped his head and said: "Hey, Jianguo, I remembered something. The old man asked me to tell you before that you'd better not go out at night in three days."

"Three days later!" Zhou Jianguo immediately understood what Xu Zhi meant.

Xu Zhi said it was best not to go out after three days. These words were only meant to Xu Yuan, but they had different meanings for Zhou Jianguo.

That is, they will make a big move in three days, which may cause a big shock, so Zhou Jianguo should be careful.

Similarly, this was Xu Zhi's request for help, asking Zhou Jianguo to go to Jin Yiwei's side to take a look in three days.

If things are under control, there is no need for Zhou Jianguo to take action, but if the situation becomes uncontrollable by then, Xu Zhi hopes that Zhou Jianguo, or the disciples behind Zhou Jianguo, can come to the rescue.

However, the meaning here is very obscure, and no one except Zhou Jianguo can understand it.

No, Xu Yuan couldn't tell. He was still asking: "Jianguo, what does the old man mean by this sentence? Does it mean that they will deal with those demons in three days?"

"Well, that's probably what it means." Zhou Jianguo nodded.

"Jianguo, what will we do then?"

Xu Yuan's face was a bit eager to try. There will definitely be a big battle in three days. How could such a big battle be without him, Young Master Xu!

"Brother, Uncle Xu asked us to stay at home properly." Zhou Jianguo said angrily.

Xu Yuan could not participate in the battle between Jinyiwei and Demon. This was one of the reasons why Xu Zhi kicked Xu Yuan out of Jinyiwei.

If Xu Yuan was still a Jin Yiwei, he would definitely participate in this demon war. By then, Xu Yuan would most likely be sacrificed in this battle.

Not even Xu Zhi himself can guarantee that he will come back alive, let alone Xu Yuan.

I have to say here that although Xu Zhi said he was doing justice, he still had some selfish motives in his heart.

No, after realizing the danger this time, Xu Zhi kicked Xu Yuan out of Jinyiwei regardless of Xu Yuan's objections.

This is human nature, no father would watch his son die.

"Hey, I knew it was like this." Xu Yuan muttered, feeling a little frustrated.

Xu Yuan was not willing to participate in such a big scene and could only stay at home.

Zhou Jianguo saw Xu Yuan's inner reluctance. He was afraid that something might happen to Xu Yuan, so he quickly added another insurance policy.

"Brother, please don't act recklessly when the time comes. Aunt Xu still needs your protection. You don't want something unexpected to happen to Aunt Xu then." Zhou Jianguo reminded Xu Yuan.

"This." Xu Yuan was speechless. Zhou Jianguo's words directly destroyed the enthusiasm in his heart.

"Yes, I still have to protect my mother's safety!" Xu Yuan gave up helplessly.

It's good to be in the limelight, but if it puts his mother in danger, Xu Yuan will not do anything.

"Jianguo, you are so disgusting!" Xu Yuan slapped Zhou Jianguo. His words just now made him stop wanting to help his father.

"Hehe." Zhou Jianguo chuckled and didn't care. As long as Xu Yuan could stay at home with peace of mind, it would be worth getting Xu Yuan to complain or get beaten.

"Jianguo, do you think the old man will be safe by then?"

Xu Yuan's heart was full of worries. Xu Yuan knew the strength of the demons very well. Although the old man's current strength was good, Xu Yuan was really unsure when facing those demons.

"Brother, don't worry. Uncle Xu now has first-class strength. With his current strength, he will have no problem dealing with some demons." Zhou Jianguo comforted him.

In order to completely reassure Xu Yuan, Zhou Jianguo said again: "Brother, our division will send people to participate in this battle. If Uncle Xu is in danger, they will definitely save Uncle Xu."

"That's good, Jianguo, thank you!" Xu Yuan said with a smile on his face.

With Zhou Jianguo's words, he felt relieved.

"Brother, we are a family, there is no need to be so polite."

Ye Qing came to Zhou Jianguo with joy, took out a piece of jade talisman the size of an egg, handed it to Zhou Jianguo, and said with a smile on his face: "Master, we have successfully studied what you told us."

"Successful!" Zhou Jiaguo was overjoyed. At such a critical moment, Ye Qing and the others succeeded in their research. This was really great news, and Zhou Jianguo was extremely happy.

Zhou Jianguo couldn't wait to ask: "Ye Qing, what is the specific effect?"

"Master, the effect is very good. Such a jade talisman can absorb the demonic energy of nearly three demon pills."

After speaking, Ye Qing took out three demon pills and placed them on the jade pendant in his hand.

(The demon pill was traded from the Li family. As a medical family with a history of thousands of years, the Li family has a lot of demon pills on hand.)

The next moment, the jade talisman began to emit a burst of light, and then a burst of invisible power began to act on the three demon pills. Then, gray-black demonic energy was sucked out, and finally it was absorbed by the spirit gathering array in the center of the jade talisman.

complete.

Three minutes later, the three demon pills turned into ashes, and the jade talisman before turned into a gray-black jade talisman.

"Okay, Ye Qing, well done!"

Zhou Jianguo looked at the jade talisman in front of him with great excitement, praising it without hesitation, and one corner of Ye Qing's mouth began to curl up.

"Is it difficult to make such a jade charm?" Zhou Jianguo suppressed his inner excitement and asked this most important question.

"Master, it's not difficult at all. As long as you have a piece of jade pendant, the spirit gathering array you developed, Master, and finally some fine gold as a sealed object, it's basically not difficult at all." Ye Qing replied.

"Okay, Ye Qing, you have done a great job!" Zhou Jianguo cheered loudly.

With the jade talisman that Ye Qing and the others have researched, Zhou Jianguo no longer has to worry about the spread of evil spirits artificially.

After learning that Zhang Quan was missing, Zhou Jianguo was worried whether people like Zhang Quan would deliberately release evil spirits. If they did, the consequences would be disastrous.

By then, countless innocent people will die because of them, and Zhou Jianguo must prevent such a thing.

Therefore, Zhou Jianguo urged Ye Qing and other subordinates to come up with a solution to the spread of evil spirit as soon as possible. Of course, he himself was also trying his best to think of a solution.

At the beginning, Liu Sanpao proposed to directly powder the fine gold to maximize the use of the fine gold.

If Zhang Quan and the others really spread evil spirits in Huajing, they will use these powdered fine gold to eliminate the evil spirits.

This method is actually good, and the effect is very good (Zhou Jianguo has tried it with the demon pill), but to be honest, Zhou Jianguo will not use this method until he is in a desperate situation.

There is no way, the amount of fine gold in his hand is too small, and fine gold is really too precious. If he really wants to use fine gold powder to eliminate the evil spirit like Liu Sanpao said, what would it take?

The amount of fine gold is really not a small amount.

Zhou Jianguo is indeed very rich, but no matter how much money he has, he cannot waste it like this.

The entire Huajing area is too large. If Zhang Quan releases evil energy throughout the entire Huajing, relying solely on the fine gold in Zhou Jianguo's hands, it really won't have much effect.

The amount of fine gold currently in Zhou Jianguo's hands is only about two kilograms, which means that Zhou Jianguo has consumed two hundred kilograms of gold for this.

Although Zhou Jianguo still had dozens of tons of gold on hand, even if he took it all and refined it into fine gold to deal with this crisis, this fine gold would still not be enough for the entire Huajing.

Therefore, using fine gold to deal with demonic energy is only a backup method, and no one can bear the consumption involved.

Zhou Jianguo can't either. Therefore, he needs better means to deal with this crisis, a way that does not require much consumption of fine gold.
