Lord Hong

"One's own strength is what one can truly rely on." Yunhong concluded.

"It's almost comprehensible." Yang Lou said with a smile: "Warrior, what you practice is boxing, what you seek is intention, and what you grasp is strength. If you have enough strength, all plots and calculations will come to nothing... But there is one thing you want to know. too extreme."

"Master, please advise." Yunhong said respectfully.

"The size of this power has always been relative rather than absolute. Even if you are like Emperor Chengyang, Tianjiao is invincible, and you need the assistance of other human immortals." Yanglou taught: "The stronger you are, the fewer plots against you will be." , but it’s not to say that it doesn’t exist, warriors are also human beings first of all... Sophistication of the world is indispensable.”

Yun Hong nodded slightly.

"You are still young, there are some things, let's slowly realize them with time." Yang Lou smiled, and then changed the topic: "I came here to tell you another thing, something very important to you."

Yun Hong asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

Yang Lou looked at Yun Hong, said word by word, rather solemnly: "Ji Dao Sect."

"The extreme immortal gate in Dongyang County? Didn't the master tell me last time?" Yun Hong asked suspiciously.

The last time Yanglou talked about Jidaomen, it was the most powerful sect of immortals in Yangzhou at that time, and there were many martial immortals sitting in it. In terms of background and resources, it surpassed the county courtyard by a lot, but it was too far away from Ningyang County, and its outer sect assessment too cruel...

"En." Yang Lou nodded: "You decide to go to the county courtyard. If you can directly enter the Tianhuo Palace, you will get good cultivation resources... However, what I want to talk about today is after you graduate from the county courtyard."

"Leaving the county courtyard?" Yun Hong was startled.

He hasn't entered the county hospital yet, so how could he think about what will happen after graduation.

"Cultivation in the county courtyard can be as short as two years and as long as five years." Yang Lou said with a smile: "Originally, in my estimation, you have to practice in the county courtyard for at least three years, but now, it is estimated that two years is almost the same. .”

Today, Yunhong is only in his early 15s, and two years later, Yunhong is only 17 years old.

Yun Hong respectfully said: "Master, please speak frankly."

"Okay, then I'll just say, before, if you can reach the psychic state, I can recommend you to go to the extreme gate, avoid the outer gate assessment, and become a true disciple directly." Yang Lou added: "The true disciple of the extreme gate, He has great privileges, his status is no less than that of a county magistrate, and he can often get advice from immortals, and his martial arts resources are abundant, even the martial arts priests of the state court can hardly match."

"Become a true disciple directly?" A trace of surprise flashed in Yunhong's eyes.

Before, he heard from Yanglou that the Jidao Sect is roughly divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, true disciples, and elders. Only martial immortals are qualified to be elders.

Inner sect disciples and true disciples are all martial arts experts above the psychic realm, but true disciples are more valued.

"Master, didn't you say that the true disciples of the extreme Taoist sect can only be promoted if they are the outer disciples with excellent talents?" Yun Hong couldn't help but said, "Even if I reach the psychic state within three years, why should the extreme Taoist sect be promoted?" Let me directly become a true disciple?"

If a sect wants to pass it on for a long time, it needs generations of talented disciples.

But compared to genius disciples, rules are more important. If there are no rules, just let a person rise to a high position casually, even if it prospers for a while, it will eventually decline.

"As a teacher, you have your own way, you don't need to worry too much." Yang Lou said softly: "With your talent, you will definitely shine in the county court in the next few years."

"By the time you are about to graduate, the State Academy, Jiantianlou, Guardian Army, Xifenglou and other forces, and even many immortal sects, may send people to recruit you. I just hope you remember that there is also the true biography of Jidaomen. Disciple, this path is for you to choose."

Yang Lou smiled and said: "After you have practiced in the county courtyard for a while, you will understand what a true disciple of the Jidao Sect represents...Of course, this is just a path pointed out by the teacher. Whether you choose or not is up to you, and you don't have to worry about the teacher. will be angry."

Yang Lou has no wife and no children all his life. For him, Yunhong may not be able to reach the level of parent-child, but he also hopes that Yunhong can have a bright future.

"No matter what the future of the disciple is, you will always be the teacher of the disciple. Without you, the disciple would not be where he is today." Yun Hong respectfully said: "If there is such a day, the disciple will definitely consider the teacher's suggestion seriously."

"Okay." Yanglou nodded in satisfaction, he could feel Yunhong's sincerity, and said with a smile: "Don't practice too hard these days, spend more time with your family...I'm going back to the Martial Academy first."

"Respectfully send off the teacher." Yun Hong cupped his hands.

soon.

Yunhong was the only one left in the hall.

"In three years, psychic realm?" Yun Hong muttered to himself.

The psychic state is the level of martial arts masters. This level has achieved success in cultivating true qi, and has gradually transcended the mundane. It is moving towards the realm of immortals. The weakest has a huge strength of ten thousand catties.

On the battlefield, all martial arts masters are truly enemies.

Such a character, if you look at a county, belongs to a master, even in the world, you can be regarded as stepping into the forest of the strong.

For example, Donghe County has a population of several million. In recent decades, only a dozen or so martial arts masters have been born, and there are only a few left in the county. Every clan established by a martial arts master can become a powerful clan. .

"But..." Yunhong's eyes were full of doubts: "The entire Yangzhou has 28 counties, the territory under its jurisdiction spans thousands of miles, and there are hundreds of millions of creatures. The Jidao Sect is the most powerful immortal sect in the entire Yangzhou, and there are many immortals Sitting in the township... its true disciples are all people who are expected to be martial arts, and in the sect, the great masters of martial arts are probably nothing..."

"Although the teacher is powerful, he is only a martial arts master..."

"Why can I be guaranteed to enter the extreme Taoism?" Yun Hong thought silently, he had a hunch that the identity of the master might not be as simple as the teacher of Donghe Wuyuan.

"That's it."

"First of all, we must reach the psychic state first." Yunhong felt the pressure.

Although starting from the age of 16, physical fitness will enter a ten-year period of rapid growth, but it is still very difficult to become a martial arts master in just over two years.

He pondered for a while about his future practice path.

"Well, let's go and accompany my eldest brother and sister-in-law first." Yunhong secretly said: "I have to go to the county government to have a banquet in the evening."

Thinking, Yunhong walked out of the hall.

……

Night falls.

The autumn wind is blowing, and it is already cool.

In the Donghe county government office, a grand banquet was held.

There are four talented disciples from the Martial Academy this year, and there are four of them in the Pulse Condensation Realm alone, and Yun Hong and Liu Ming, two strong contenders for the top three in the selection of the county academy, are destined to make Donghe County a big winner in the selection of the county academy. shine.

This is good for all officials of the Nine Divisions of the County Government.

Therefore, in addition to General Ye, the guarding army, many powerful figures in the Nine Divisions of Donghe County, such as Shang County Magistrate, Liu County Cheng, and the chief officials of the Nine Divisions, were all present.

There are many dignitaries and rich people and so on.

at the banquet.

In addition to the 3000 taels of silver reward personally bestowed by Shang County Magistrate, Yunhong was frequently toasted and touted by many dignitaries, becoming a well-deserved protagonist at the banquet.

Until late at night, the banquet ended.

"Just now, it seems that I received a visiting letter from Jiujia." Yunhong walked out of the county office and looked at the letter in his hand.

Walking to the street, the cold wind blew, which made him calm down a lot, and most of the wine was sober.

A true martial artist with amazing physical fitness is extremely difficult to get really drunk.

"Yunhong." A crisp sound came out.

Yun Hong had already noticed something and turned around to look.

It was Ye Lan, and at the same time two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, followed. From Yunhong's eyes, the strength of these two people was probably only stronger than his own, and they were both masters.

"Ye Lan? Are you still going home?" Yun Hong asked suspiciously.

Just now, the two did not sit together at the banquet.

"My father wants to see you." Ye Lan's delicate face flushed slightly, and her voice became much lower: "There were too many people just now, so I didn't have time to tell you."

"General Ye wants to see me? Now?" Yun Hong was startled.

It is now late at night.

"Yeah." Ye Lan nodded, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Chapter 40 Yun Hong and Ye Lan

Ye Fu.

It occupies an extremely vast area, with pavilions, towers and pavilions, rockery and flowing water. It has the taste of a Jiangnan water town, but it is also very quiet, and there are not many servants.

Yun Hong followed Ye Lan through the courtyard corridor.

"Ye Lan, why did General Ye want to see me? Is it a matter of selection by the county court?" Yun Hong asked in a low voice.

He was full of doubts. Although General Ye was one of the three chief officials in Donghe County, the military and government were separated, and the selection results of the county court generally did not affect the commander of the guarding army.

"No."

Ye Lan responded softly.

"What is that?" Yun Hong was even more puzzled.

Ye Lan stopped suddenly.

turn around.

The two looked at each other.

"Yunhong, my father and I... told us about the two of us." Ye Lan lowered her head, her face flushed.

"The two of us?" Yun Hong asked with a blank face, "What's the matter with the two of us?"

"That's right, that's right..." Ye Lan's face was flushed, and finally she said cruelly in her heart: "I told my father that I like you, and you like me, so I want my father to agree."

Yun Hong stared at Ye Lan with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Seeing Yunhong's expression, Ye Lan burst into tears: "Yunhong, do you mean that you really don't like me? You hate me?"

"No, it's not." Yun Hong was at a loss, feeling dizzy for a while.

"Then why do you have this expression?" Ye Lan stared at Yunhong.

"It's just...too sudden." Yun Hong smiled awkwardly, looking at Ye Lan's small face, he felt a little in his heart, and it was a little unimaginable.

Ye Lan, a girl, dares to explain directly to her parents?

"Hmph." Ye Lan frowned and said, "You Qian told me already, you actually like me, but you never dared to tell me."

"You Qian?"

Yun Hong instantly understood.

Immediately made up his mind, he must hang up the fat man and give him a beating when he goes back.

"But..." Yun Hong didn't know what to say for a while.

"Could it be that what you and You Qian said was also false?" Ye Lan seemed to be unable to hold back the tears, "Then how do you want me to tell my father that I'm self-indulgent? I've made up my mind .”

"It's not fake." Yunhong was at a loss.

He didn't know how to comfort Ye Lan, and he didn't dare to touch Ye Lan. In this Ye Mansion, the ghost knows where General Ye, who is a master of martial arts, is staring at him now.

Yunhong did not dare to challenge the perception ability of the martial arts master.

Ye Lan raised her head suddenly, the tears in her eyes stopped instantly, staring at Yunhong: "Is that true?"

Yun Hong nodded helplessly.

"Okay, that's fine." Ye Lan wiped away her tears and smiled, not seeing the sad look just now, and said: "Come on, come with me to see my father."

Yun Hong was astonished...

"Ye Lan, Ye Zi, Aunt Ye." Yun Hong said helplessly, "My mind is in a mess right now, are you sure you want me to see General Ye just like this?"

"What's wrong with your mind?" Ye Lan shook her head and said, "We have known each other for many years since we entered the martial arts academy. If it wasn't for you, I would have been bullied on the first day I entered the martial arts academy."

Yun Hong nodded slightly.

That happened a few years ago, and it was the first time the two met.

"Actually, you like me. I can feel that girls are much more sensitive than you in this regard." Ye Lan stared at Yunhong: "I, I... like you too."

Yun Hong looked at Ye Lan's small face, he could see that Ye Lan was talking seriously.

The two have known each other for several years.

They are both the age of first love...

"In the past few years, I have felt that you like me, but sometimes you deliberately avoid me. In fact, sometimes I feel very uncomfortable." Ye Lan whispered: "I don't even know what I did wrong."

Yun Hong felt a faint pain in his heart.

"Later You Qian told me that you have been keeping a close relationship with me, because you are concerned about your identity?" Ye Lan stared at Yunhong.

Looking into Ye Lan's clear eyes.

"Yeah." Yun Hong nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your father is the guarding general, and even a grand master of martial arts. You came from a noble family...but I am just a commoner disciple."

"You know, I don't care." Ye Lan said.

"I care. I don't like others looking down on me, and I don't want to hurt you." Yunhong shook his head.

"So you practice so hard?" Tears flashed in Ye Lan's eyes, and she whispered: "I have seen your cultivation, sometimes it is really too tired and too hard... Actually, I have always wanted to be with you. I'm afraid you won't be happy if I send you something."
