The living room is a little quiet.
Zhang Xiaozu looked at Huang Daonv and then at Zhang Xiaobing, and for a moment he didn't know where to start asking.
It was Huang Daonv who broke the silence first, holding Zhang Xiaopou's hand and looking at Zhang Xiaobing, and introduced him: "This girl is the adopted daughter of your mother. She is named Zhang Xiaobing. I think the name embodies my longing for you.
."
"Little sister Zhang Xiaobing, I have met my elder brother." Zhang Xiaobing stood up and saluted Zhang Xiaopeng.
Zhang Xiaozu hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting, smiling: "So the girl is Zhang Xiaobing."
In fact, he wanted to say that Zhang Xiaobing was a girl.
Because that day while chatting with Du Keyi in Yunzhu Small Courtyard, when he heard the name Zhang Xiaobing, he subconsciously recognized Zhang Xiaobing as a man. After all, a woman with such a name did not go well with him.
But now that he knew the origin of the name, he couldn't help but be touched by it. At the same time, he felt a little sorry for Zhang Xiaobing, because if it weren't for him, Zhang Xiaobing would have had a very nice name.
"Brother, have you heard of me somewhere?" Zhang Xiaobing asked curiously.
"I heard Miss Du mention it. She said that our names are destined, and she would like to introduce us to each other if there is a chance." Zhang Xiaozhu said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaobing smiled and said, "Sister Keyi told me that the two of us are indeed destined, and the fate is very close."
"I don't know how to feel." Niu Dawa muttered depressedly.
He had been looking forward to Zhang Xiaozu's expression and reaction after seeing Zhang Xiaobing and knowing her name. Little did he know that Zhang Xiaozu, like Zhou Jianlai, had heard Zhang Xiaobing's name from Du Keyi's mouth.
He was very disappointed when his full expectations failed.
Zhang Xiaozu gestured towards Zhang Xiaobing, telling her to sit down and talk, and then asked with uncontrollable worry: "Mother, is she... okay?"
"Brother, please don't blame your mother. She was forced to leave you because she had no choice but to take you back to the Shen family. If she didn't leave you behind, you would definitely die.
In the past ten years, she has never missed you less, but she does not dare to come to you because the Shen family wants to know where you are, and she does not dare to let the Shen family find you.
So she could only live alone with longing, keeping secrets, feeling guilty, and silently counting the days."
Zhang Xiaobing interceded for Shen Wenjun with tears in her eyes, because the two sentences Zhang Xiaozhu just said in front of the Guowei Mansion were very cold, which made her think that Zhang Xiaozhu was full of hatred for Shen Wenjun.
Zhang Xiaozu quickly waved his hand and said: "I never dare to blame my mother, I only feel grateful.
I remember that my grandfather, the village chief who raised me, once said something to me. He said: ‘Parents love their children and will plan for them deeply.’.
My mother has endured so much just to keep me alive, how dare I not understand or consider her."
"Good boy, really good boy!"
Sitting aside, Huang Daonv stretched out her hand to hold Zhang Xiaozhu's hand, praised her with joy, and said gratefully: "I would like to thank the folks in Liujia Village from the bottom of my heart. They not only gave you food and raised you, but also gave you
You have a kind and open-minded heart. If there is a chance, I will go to their graves to thank them in person."
Butcher Zhang had already told her about Liujiacun.
"It is a great blessing for my grandson to grow up in Liujia Village." Zhang Xiaozu nodded and smiled.
After hearing Zhang Xiaozu's words, Zhang Xiaobing breathed a sigh of relief, burst into tears and said with a smile: "My mother will be extremely happy if she hears what my elder brother said."
"Is it true that mother, as Shen Wenyu said, was imprisoned by the Shen family in the Cliff of Repentance and will not be able to leave for the rest of her life?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked with a frown.
"Yeah." The smile that had just appeared on Zhang Xiaobing's face suddenly dimmed again, and he said angrily: "The Shen family is the most ruthless, and no one really cares about my mother. If Taishifu hadn't sent me to be my mother's companion, my mother would be here.
There is no one on the cliff to talk to."
Zhang Xiaozhu's eyes suddenly turned sharp. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Is there any way to save my mother from the Shen family?"
Zhang Xiaobing replied: "My mother said that when you, eldest brother, are powerful enough to make the head of the Shen family look down upon, she will be able to leave the Shen family because of her mother's worth and her son's worth."
It is true that Shen Wenjun asked Zhang Xiaobing to bring these words to Zhang Xiaozu, but the premise is that Zhang Xiaozu has enough strength.
If Zhang Xiaobing was just an ordinary person or a mediocre warrior, Zhang Xiaobing would not have said these words to him.
"How can we make the head of the Shen family look down upon him?"
"Able to give orders."
"What is the ordering party?"
"There are nine continents in the world, and to rule one is to command one."
"This - it's a bit difficult." Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but frown.
As strong as the Wentian Sect, only the Nine Saints can rule Qingzhou.
And now he is just a little martial artist who has not even reached the Star Realm. For him, ruling a continent can be said to be a long road with no end in sight.
Maybe one day he can reach this height, but he can't wait that long.
He wanted to see his mother as soon as possible, the sooner the better.
Zhang Xiaobing nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult to reach the sky, but if the eldest brother can reach the star-catching realm, the younger sister can secretly take the eldest brother to the Shen family to meet her mother."
"Star Reaching Realm? What is Star Reaching Realm?" Zhang Xiaozu asked in confusion.
The Zodiac Girl responded: "Because the star power in our mortal world is too rare, and the star power is already a super powerful existence for us that can turn its hands into clouds and rain, so we have a hierarchical concept of the star realm.
It's a bit vague, but actually there are five realms in the Star Realm.
When you first land on the other shore, looking up at the stars is a stargazing experience.
Stargazing is a feeling, and the mind and the stars echo from a distance, which is a spiritual state.
Echoing the stars, integrating with the stars, traveling across the stars, this is the realm of travel.
Then transcend the stars and lean down to pick the stars, which is the star-picking state.
Finally, destroy the galaxy, deduce the avenue, and then rebuild the galaxy that truly belongs to you, which is the realm of destruction.
The word "destruction" means both the destruction of the galaxy and the destruction of oneself.
Because of the great way of deriving and competing with the way of heaven, one wrong step will lead to eternal disaster.
Why--"
The zodiac girl sighed quietly and wanted to tell Zhang Xiaozhu about Butcher Zhang's failure in attaining enlightenment, but she thought of Butcher Zhang's instructions before leaving and swallowed her words again.
"There is a summit realm above the destruction realm." Zhang Xiaobing added.
"What secrets are hidden in the Dengfeng Realm? Several people from the Wentian Sect were all mysterious and refused to say anything when it came to the Dengfeng Realm." Niu Dawa asked curiously.
"I only know that it is relatively easy to advance to the Peak Realm. I also heard that the Peak Realm can sense the ancient laws of power, so the combat power is very good after advancing. I don't know the rest." Zhang Xiaobing replied.
.
Although she is a disciple of the Changsheng Sect, a sect handed down from ancient times, she is not a core disciple, so she knows very little about relatively confidential matters.
Zhang Xiaozhu asked in confusion: "Why do you want me to reach the star-catching realm before you take me to see my mother?"
"Because you can run fast in the Star Reaching Realm, you can save your life if you are discovered." Zhang Xiaobing winked at Zhang Xiaopeng and replied with a smile.
"Understood." Zhang Xiaozu nodded. After all, it was still a matter of whether the fist was strong enough.
"Mom, you don't have to worry too much. Although it's cold and lonely at Ruigui Cliff, my mother is used to living there, so it's not too difficult." Zhang Xiaobing was afraid that Zhang Xiaopou would worry too much, so he comforted her.
He also reminded: "You must not believe Shen Wenyu's sweet words. The Shen family is a very cruel family. They can even extract the ancient immortal power from their own brothers. How can they be kind to you? So when I see Shen
My family should just plug their ears and take a detour immediately."
"Don't worry, I won't believe them." Zhang Xiaozu reassured Zhang Xiaobing, and then asked: "What is the power of the ancient immortal? Can it be awakened only by going to the Shen family?"
Although he scorned the ancient immortal's power in front of Shen Wenyu, he was actually very greedy.
"The Shen family is the queen of the Ancient Immortal, and the blood of the Ancient Immortal flows in her body, so every descendant of the Shen family can awaken the power of the Ancient Immortal. The purer the blood of the Ancient Immortal, the more the power of the Ancient Immortal will be awakened.
"
"How to judge how much? What does Shen Wenyu mean by fifty and one hundred?"
"The power of the ancient immortal is attached to the bones and cannot be moved. For example, if the power of the ancient immortal is awakened on your arm bone, then the power of the ancient immortal can only be on the arm bone, and there is no way to transfer it.
Move it to the shoulder bone, sternum, etc.
Even if you extract the power of ancient immortals from others, you can only replenish it accordingly, not where you want to replenish it.
The fifty and one hundred that Shen Wenyu said refer to the number of bones that awaken the power of the ancient immortal.
One month after each Shen family member is born, he will undergo an awakening ceremony using the Shen family secret method. Those who have awakened less than thirty will have their ancient immortal power extracted and distributed to those who have awakened more.
After the power of the Ancient Immortal is stripped away, the bones will become necrotic, so people whose power is stripped away from the Ancient Immortal are often either dead or disabled, and are usually thrown ruthlessly into the abyss of the mountains behind the Shen family.
This cruel and ruthless elimination rule makes most people in the Shen family more cold-blooded and cruel, but it is undeniable that it also allows the Shen family to remain strong and never decline."
"——" After listening to Zhang Xiaobing's story, everyone felt horrified and frightened.
If the children born with good qualifications are kept, the bones of those with bad qualifications will be removed and thrown away. How can this be done by humans?
Niu Dawa suddenly thought of a terrible question, swallowed and asked: "Is there anyone who is required to have children all the time? Until they die."
When Zhang Xiaozu and others heard this question, goosebumps suddenly broke out on their bodies.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaobing shook his head at them, saying that the Shen family did not commit such inhumane behavior.
"Perhaps in order to prevent inhumane things from happening, the Shen family rules clearly prohibit it. Shen family women are only allowed to have a maximum of ten children. As for whether anyone will violate the family rules, it is unknown.
Moreover, the more children you have, the less ancient immortal power you awaken, and in the end you won’t even be able to awaken the ancient immortal power, so you shouldn’t have children all the time.
Well, I should."
"——"
Zhang Xiaozu felt that this topic was a bit scary, so he quickly changed the topic and asked: "Besides using the Shen family's secret method, is there any other way to awaken the power of the ancient immortals?"
"There should be, otherwise Shen Wenyu wouldn't ask how many ancient immortal powers you have awakened." Zhang Xiaobing said uncertainly.
After Zhang Xiaozu was silent for a moment, he couldn't help but sighed: "My mother is right. This Shen family is really like a dragon's den and a tiger's den for me. Once I fall in, I'm afraid it will be impossible to climb out, so I should be cautious when saving my mother."
Zhang Xiaobing nodded vigorously.
He already understood almost everything about his mother, so he looked at Zodiac Girl and asked: "Grandma——"
"Call grandma, call grandma kindly." Huang Daonv interrupted Zhang Xiaozu's words and said.
Zhang Xiaozu smiled and changed his words: "Grandma, why didn't my grandfather and father come?"
"Your grandfather... he needs to guard the northern border and can't get away. Your useless father says he's ashamed of you and has no face to see you." Huang Daonv sighed with a bitter smile.
"Don't blame him, kid." Zhang Xiaopou said.
"Tell him yourself."
"Then I will go to Northern Xinjiang tomorrow -" Zhang Xiaozu wanted to say that he would go to Northern Xinjiang tomorrow, but suddenly he thought that the cavalry competition was about to begin. He could not leave Su Zhengyi and eighteen people alone at this time, so he could only change his mind and ask Huang Dao Nu.
Asked: "Um...grandma, can I go to Northern Xinjiang to see my father in a few days? Because the iron cavalry competition is about to start, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."
"Have you signed up for the Iron Cavalry Competition?" Huang Daonv's eyes lit up.
"No." Zhang Xiaozu shook his head quickly and said with a smile: "I am a teacher and have to direct the battle."
"Haha, grandma is cheering for you."
"With grandma cheering and cheering, I will definitely get the first place."
"That is required."
Zhang Xiaozu looked at Zhang Xiaobing and said, "Little sister, if you have nothing to worry about, you can stay and play for a few days. You have been going against Shen Wenyu today, and I'm afraid he won't make it easy for you."
"Brother, don't worry. He will just beat me up at most. He doesn't dare to do anything to me because I am a disciple of the Changsheng Sect." Zhang Xiaobing is not worried, but it is only on the surface. In order to reassure Zhang Xiaobing, the fact is
She was still very afraid of Shen Wenyu.
