Strange mountains and rivers

After sending Chen Huaisheng away, Sun Fuli and Sun Daozhong discussed together with Sun Futong, who had just returned from other places, and Sun Fuli's youngest son, Sun Daohua.

Sun Daohua is the youngest son of Sun Fuli. He has just awakened his spiritual roots when he turned twelve.

The Sun family has basically determined that the next generation will be Sun Daofeng, the eldest son of Sun Fuli who is still traveling abroad, to take over as the head of the Sun family. However, Sun Daofeng is now over seventy years old and is only at the peak of Qi refining and has not yet broken through the foundation building.

This is already the most talented and talented child of the Sun family. The rest of this generation are basically hovering in the middle stage of Qi refining, and only three of them have entered the high stage of Qi refining.

This is also the Sun family's biggest problem now. They lack qualified children and cannot find a suitable way to improve their spiritual realm.

It stands to reason that the Sun family was also a powerful family eight hundred years ago. At its peak, there were five Zifus at the same time. At one time, one Zifu even attacked the Golden Core, but failed and died.

But then, as the Zifu slowly withered, there were fewer and fewer Zifus in the succeeding generation. Two hundred years ago, when the last Zifu emerged, the Sun family no longer had a Zifu. Even a hundred years ago, the middle section of the foundation was even The threshold was no longer easy to cross, and the Sun family was eventually reduced to an ordinary local clan, no longer the aristocratic family it once was.

During this period, the Sun family also made countless efforts to have more children, and even recruited casual cultivators with the Sun family's Taoism and female cultivators, or married female cultivators from other clans with heavy gifts, in order to give birth to the next generation with better qualifications and talents, but they all failed. Did not achieve the desired effect.

"Brother, do you think so highly of this Chen Huaisheng?" Sun Futong couldn't help but hear that his brother had gifted Chen Huaisheng the Taiyin Yellow Barrel and the Secret Art of Ghost Scissors, and also decided to constantly support him with various spiritual materials and goods. Zi stood up and looked at his brother: "Do you think he can take over as the leader of the Chonghua Sect? He has already said that we should take the initiative to make friends with You Shaoyou, but you..."

"Why is it impossible?" Sun Fuli said leisurely: "The twenty-four-year-old Qi Refining Level 7, haha, has our Sun family produced such a talent in the past three hundred years? He is right, there is no harm in making friends with You Shaoyou, but I think From the family's long-term perspective, he is more worthy of our bet!"

"But brother, they are a sect and we are a sect, that's different!" Sun Fu said angrily: "Don't say he is still far from the head of Chonghua, even if he becomes the head of Chonghua, he will not For the sake of the interests of our Sun family, we ignore the interests of the Chonghua sect. Besides, it is hard to say whether they can withstand the high pressure of the Yuelu sect and the Tianhe sect, and they may stay there for twenty or thirty years. Are you back to Da Zhao? Aren't we trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain?"

"It's different, but times have changed. Lao Wu, do you think our Sun family will have a future if we continue like this?" Sun Fuli sighed, "Can't you see the signs that the monsters are getting more and more rampant? Monster Corpse What does the appearance mean? Can't you feel such a dangerous sign? The Phoenix Wing Sect has even flinched, haven't they been trying to make plans for White Tower City again? But what about now?"

After several consecutive questions, Sun Futong was speechless. After a while, Sun Futong was unconvinced and said: "But Chen Huaisheng is only at the seventh level of Qi refining. We all know that it is difficult to explain the problem in the Qi refining stage before foundation building. Maybe he will get stuck. On the basis of building the foundation, brother, you gave him the Taiyin Yellow Barrier and the Secret Technique of Ghost Scissors, that's too cool!"

"Haha, Lao Wu, it means that you think the current situation may not be sustainable. The Sun family may face crises caused by various external challenges. It's just that you now feel that Chen Huaisheng is not qualified enough for our Sun family to bind to him and place your bets. On him?" Sun Fuli asked with a smile.

Sun Futong was speechless and speechless. After thinking for a long time, he nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean. The Sun family may need to change as the eldest brother said, but is Chen Huaisheng worth it? He is only at the seventh level of Qi training. Even if he is young, But there are many situations where it may not be better when you are young, not to mention the Chonghua sect..."

"Then do we have a choice?" Sun Fuli said solemnly: "We have no choice! No matter how bad the choice is, it is ten times better than not making a choice. At least we have a chance! Who do you think we should choose? The Ding family? The Ding family. Yuan Gao is still my son-in-law. Do you think he will think about our Sun family? There are a lot of people from the Ding family joining the Chonghua sect. They also need to work hard for the Ding family to establish a foothold in the Chonghua sect. How can they care? Us? Fengyi Sect? Yuelu Sect? Or Tianhe Sect? Or Youzhou Ning Family?"

Sun Futing was silent.

"Besides, we don't necessarily hang him on a tree, Chen Huaisheng. The Sun family has this background, so we can bet in many ways. It's just a secret technique of Taiyin Huanglu ghost shearing. It has been placed in our family for a hundred or two hundred years. Who can Practicing? Why don't you want to give up? If Chen Huaisheng can cultivate higher and stronger, climb higher in the Chonghua Sect, and protect the stability of our Sun family, I will give him whatever he wants in the Sutra Pavilion! "

Sun Fuli spoke passionately, "Lao Wu, our Sun family has accumulated thousands of years of experience. Are there any missing secrets, spiritual materials, and magic weapons in the treasure pavilion? The key is that none of us can practice and use them. Do we really have to wait until One day, the clan was attacked and destroyed by others. Can't we wait for others to come and confiscate the family and exterminate the clan?"

"Why is this so?" Sun Futong couldn't help but protested: "No matter how bad our Sun family is, we still won't be reduced to that situation. My brother is too alarmist."

"Am I alarmist?" Sun Fuli stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and paced quickly, "Did you know that You Shaoyou once mentioned the Sun family before the second son entered the lower courtyard of the White Tower? There is no need to exist, and he even sent a message to Ding Yuangao, suggesting that the Chonghua sect could directly take over the Kuixing Pavilion of the Sun family, with 10% going to the Ding family and 90% to the Chonghua sect. He also said that it could be discussed..."

With a roar, the chair fell to the ground. Sun Futong, Sun Daozhong and even Sun Fuli's youngest son Sun Daohua all stood up in shock, eyes widening in disbelief: "Brother (uncle, father), is it true?"

"I don't know whether it's true or not. Daozhi told me quietly afterwards." Sun Fuli stroked his forehead with some dejection and said, "But I thought it was almost the same. Even if the situation was not that bad, You Shaoyou definitely had this intention, and even It has been revealed, otherwise Ding Yuangao and Daozhi would not know about it."

"Ding Yuangao stopped You Shaoyou from committing murder?" Sun Futong was shocked, scared and angry.

"Daozhi said that Ding Yuangao claimed that he tried his best to dissuade him, but I thought that with Ding Yuangao's little courage and ability, he might not have the courage and ability to dare to compete with You Shaoyou. Daozhi said that maybe he and Chong Chong The opinions from the Hua Sect Mountain Gate do not agree with this, probably because they feel that doing so will not be conducive to the development of the Chonghua Sect in Yanzhou in the future."

Sun Fuli calmly analyzed and judged: "As Chen Huaisheng revealed, the Chonghua Sect would rather assist Lingyun Sect in a fight at the expense of sacrifice. This shows that the Chonghua Sect still values ​​its reputation in Hebei and Yanzhou, and also shows its intentions. We are determined to stay in Hebei for a long time, so we are unwilling to kill innocent people for no reason. However, if we remain lukewarm or even secede from the Chonghua sect, do you think You Shaoyou will look for opportunities to cause trouble to murder us? Where is the Sun family?"

"Is that why Chen Huaisheng wants us to take the initiative to show our favor to You Shaoyou?" Sun Daozhong said: "Would that stimulate You Shaoyou's appetite instead?"

"That's why we have to make good friends with Chen Huaisheng and do our best to support him!" Sun Fuli waved his hand without any doubt, "As long as the Chonghua faction repelled the Yuelu Sect's offensive in this battle, Chen Huaisheng is worth betting on. , Daozhong, keep an eye on this matter. If you need anything, feel free to give it to him boldly. In addition, after this incident, I also plan to send Daohua to the Chonghua sect. It would be best if he can become a disciple of Chen Huaisheng."

*****

Taiyin Huanglu, the secret technique of ghost shearing.

Chen Huaisheng, who returned to Bailu Taoist Temple, looked at the two things placed on the table and fell into deep thought.

Talisman mantra, this is one of the three methods of practice.

Different from spiritual realms and spells, talisman spells pay more attention to the selection and production of spiritual materials and the blessing of spiritual power.

Both spiritual realms and spells require a combination of understanding and penance, but the Talisman Curse is slightly different.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the magic talisman, but the production materials and craftsmanship are important.

In addition to the material and craftsmanship of the urn, there are also blessings written on the urn, and this kind of special text is painted with special ink or blood stains, which will generate extraordinary mana.

The mantra is usually combined with the urn and used in conjunction with the sound. The power of a single mantra is limited, but when used in combination with the urn, it will be multiplied.

All in all, talismans and curses all require the exquisite and appropriate selection of spiritual materials, unique production techniques, and the right amount of spiritual energy infusion and blessing. When used in combination with each other, miraculous effects can be achieved.

The Taiyin Yellow Barrel and the Secret Art of Ghost Scissors presented to Chen Huaisheng by the Sun family were not inherited from the Sun family, but were accidentally collected more than a hundred years ago. They have been idle in the Sun Family Treasure Pavilion for a hundred years. No one can practice this trick. , so this time I just took it out as a gift to Chen Huaisheng, which can be regarded as a thank you.

There is only one piece of Taiyin yellow paper, but this one is folded and spread out to be six feet square, while the secret technique of ghost scissors is a small book.

Chen Huaisheng flipped through it and found that it was not complicated. It emphasized paper-cutting techniques and the use of spiritual power. The only special thing was that it required the spiritual power of both sexes to cooperate. This is enough to stump many people.

This also means that monks with spiritual roots of water and fire are needed, and their spiritual practice must be accomplished in both water and fire spells.

But for Chen Huaisheng, this is not a problem.

Although he has a neutral spiritual root, the three spirits in his body are water and fire. The tiger spirit controls water, the ape spirit controls fire, and the resentful spirit condenses its soul with the energy of ghosts and ghosts.

Neutral spiritual roots mean that any spiritual power can be cultivated and used, but it is difficult to reach the extreme.

But with the three spirits, and this secret technique of ghost scissors does not require strong spiritual support, it requires more skills, which is a good thing.

The war is imminent, and having such a thing provides a little more protection.
