Ever since Teng Qingshan returned to the Xing Yi Sect with the two Heaven Class Secret Codices, he had been cultivating in seclusion.
Each seclusion usually took about a month. Even if he came out for three to five days to deal with some matters in the Xing Yi Sect and accompany his wife and child, he would go into closed-door cultivation again. Even his wife, Li Jun, was shocked by this frequency. After all, if he didn't gain anything from his closed-door cultivation, continuing to do so wouldn't bring him any benefits. Instead, it would affect his mental state.
In the East Flower Garden of the Xing Yi Sect.
Li Jun was standing beside the pond, sprinkling some bait for the fishes in the pond. A school of fish were fighting to be the first to eat, and from time to time, fish would jump out of the water.
"Madam, the Sovereign hasn't come out of seclusion yet." Beside Li Jun was her personal maid, Qiu Ju.
"Yes, I think it will take another half a month." Li Jun shook her head.
Qiu Ju was also chatting with Li Jun.
"Rumble ~ ~"
Not far away, the two doors of the training room slowly opened. This caused Li Jun to turn her head and see a person walking out of the training room.
"Qingshan." Li Jun ran over in surprise.
"Little Jun." Teng Qingshan's face was full of smiles.
"It's much faster than before. Qingshan, you're all smiles again. You must have gained a lot, right? Have you broken through to the Insightful Emptiness Realm? "Li Jun didn't have a 'Domain', so she couldn't sense the change in Teng Qingshan's aura.
"Is it that easy to break through?"
Teng Qingshan smiled. At the same time, he gently swiped his left hand. It was as though he was scattering thousands of drops of nectar. The surrounding space was filled with the aura of life. "This time, I comprehended the Dao of Life. Now, I have fully comprehended the Dao of Life and Death. Being able to comprehend the Daos of Life and Death means that my understanding of the five elements has reached a higher level. "
The fusion of the Metal Element, Fire Element, and part of the Water Element would form the Dao of Death, which was also the Dao of Destruction.
The fusion of the wood element, earth element, and a portion of the water element would form the Dao of Life.
It had been a year since he fought with Huang Tianqin of Emperor Yu's Hall. During this one year, Teng Qingshan felt that he had improved every time he went into closed-door cultivation. Until today … he finally comprehended the Dao of Life. Comprehending the Dao of Life and Death did not increase his strength.
"As for the five elements, I'm very close to reaching the state of 'circle'. Actually, I can feel that I have left the Insightful Emptiness Realm. Just a little bit more. "
"I even wanted to continue my seclusion after comprehending the Dao of Life and Death. He stepped into the Insightful Emptiness Realm in one go. However … he had just comprehended the Dao of Life and Death, so his mental state was not right. I can't sink. "Teng Qingshan shook his head." It's better to rest for a few days before meditating. Work hard and break through to the Insightful Emptiness Realm in one go. "
Haste makes waste.
This kind of increase in realm was not something that could be achieved just because one wanted to.
"Where are Hongwu and Linlin?" Teng Qingshan frowned. "They're not here again?"
"They are in Yong 'an County," Li Jun replied.
"Yes."
Ever since he sensed that there was a conspiracy behind the killing of the Internal Martial Arts disciples, Teng Qingshan's heart trembled. Teng Qingshan cautiously ordered his children to stay in the Great Yan Mountain. Or go to Yong 'an County! Except for these two places, they were not allowed to go to any other place until the crisis was over.
The Great Yan Mountain was Teng Qingshan's base camp.
As for Yong 'an County, it was the core of the Gui Yuan Sect. The Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal, Mu Tao, was also there. Teng Qingshan was naturally at ease.
… …
On the afternoon that Teng Qingshan came out of seclusion:
"Teacher, Teacher." His second disciple, Yang Dong, hurried over.
Teng Qingshan was sitting by the pond, drinking tea and watching the fish in the pond.
"Ah Dong, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Teng Qingshan frowned. Every time he came out of seclusion, Yang Dong would choose a time to report to Teng Qingshan what had happened in the past month. He was rarely in such a hurry.
"Teacher." Yang Dong hastily said, "I heard that Teacher came out of seclusion, so I immediately came over … There is indeed an important matter."
"Speak." Teng Qingshan frowned slightly.
"Two days ago, the Xing Yi Sect searched for Gong Yu in the Land of the Nine Prefectures for a whole year. Finally, someone discovered that Gong Yu had concealed his identity and was hiding in a small city in Youzhou, northeast of the Land of the Nine Prefectures," Yang Dong said.
"Gong Yu?" Teng Qingshan's eyes brightened.
This traitor was indeed a thorn in Teng Qingshan's heart! If they couldn't catch the first traitor, it would affect the prestige of the sect.
"Did you catch him?" Teng Qingshan hastily asked.
"I have already ordered people to catch him," Yang Dong hastily said. "Teacher, don't worry. A large number of people of the Xing Yi Sect are rushing over to that small city … Moreover, the matter of catching Gong Yu. In Youzhou. We have also received help from the Heavenly God Palace. I believe that Gong Yu will not be able to escape. "
Since the Xing Yi Sect was offering a reward in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, they naturally had to arrange everything with the other sects.
"Alright. We must catch Gong Yu," Teng Qingshan hastily said solemnly.
"I understand." Yang Dong was so angry that he was gnashing his teeth.
A traitor actually managed to hide for a year without being caught. If Gong Yu managed to escape this time, he would lose even more face as the Substitute Sovereign.
…
Three days later.
In the East Flower Garden, Teng Qingshan's family of four gathered together.
"The two of you are willing to come back?" Teng Qingshan smiled as he looked at his son and daughter.
"Father, we didn't go there to play. We were busy with official business," Honglin hastily said.
"You are the most cunning one." Teng Qingshan smiled. Then, his gaze fell on his son, Hongwu. "Hongwu, how did you get along with the young lady from the Lei Clan in Yong 'an County? Since both of you are so considerate, I will send someone to propose marriage. I will also discuss with the Lei Clan when you will get married. "
"Father … Little Ru's mourning period is not over yet," Hongwu hastily said.
"Oh. Look at me. I forgot." Teng Qingshan smiled and nodded.
His son and daughter were both grown up now.
Naturally, Teng Qingshan was very concerned about his children's marriage. After all, marriage was an important matter, and it couldn't be sloppy. Now that his son, Hongwu, liked a girl, Teng Qingshan had already secretly ordered people to investigate her background and matters clearly. Although the Lei Clan wasn't a big clan, they only had a small amount of assets.
He only had a small amount of assets, but in Teng Qingshan's eyes, money was nothing.
A clean family background, and the girl's character was good. That was enough.
"Hongwu doesn't make me worry," Teng Qingshan thought to himself. "He always finds a girl." The current Teng Clan was definitely one of the top clans in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. Many people wanted to join the Teng Jia Village, let alone marry Teng Qingshan's son.
Therefore, Teng Qingshan didn't dare to be careless.
"Linlin is really …" Teng Qingshan sighed to himself.
The young man, Wei Jiang, whom Teng Qingshan had met in the past, was now an elite being nurtured by the Xing Yi Sect. It was a pity that Linlin was only curious about Wei Jiang at that time. After entering the Xing Yi Sect, Wei Jiang was obsessed with the cultivation of the Internal Martial Art and didn't take the initiative to interact with Linlin.
Naturally, they didn't develop any feelings for each other. They were just martial brothers and sisters.
"Is my daughter going to be like Pei San's daughter and remain unmarried for the rest of her life?" Teng Qingshan thought to himself. "However, I heard from Little Jun that her teacher, Pei Xuelian, was deceived by a man. That's why she remained unmarried for the rest of her life. I don't want Linlin to be like that. "
While Teng Qingshan was thinking, Li Jun chatted with her children.
"Mother, I have something to tell you," Hongwu suddenly said.
"What is it?" Li Jun asked in surprise.
"Actually, my sister also has a sweetheart now." Hongwu chuckled.
"Ah!"
Teng Qingshan and Li Jun were shocked. They looked at their daughter, Honglin, in surprise. Honglin's face was red, but she pretended that nothing had happened. She glanced at her younger brother, Hongwu, and gave him a warning look. Then, she laughed and said, "Father, Mother. There aren't many people in this world that I like. Don't worry. If you want to marry me, you must at least defeat me. Otherwise, I will look down on you. "
"Now, we just chatted for a while. We haven't even gotten married yet, "Honglin said confidently.
Teng Qingshan and Li Jun looked at each other and laughed.
"Hmm, I will order someone to investigate the man who is close to Honglin," Teng Qingshan thought to himself. He didn't dare to be careless.
"Hmm? Dong? "
Teng Qingshan could clearly sense Yang Dong's aura. He was rushing toward the East Flower Garden.
"Dong is here," Teng Qingshan said.
"Why is Second Apprentice Brother here?" Hongwu and Honglin asked in surprise. They looked toward the door. Soon, Yang Dong appeared outside.
"Teacher, Teacher," Yang Dong shouted from afar.
"What happened? Did you catch Gongyu?" Teng Qingshan asked. He was most concerned about this matter.
"That traitor Gongyu?" Hongwu said in surprise.
"Did you find that bastard?" Honglin stared.
Yang Dong looked at Teng Qingshan with a bitter expression. Then, he handed over the secret letter in his hand and said, "Teacher, the information is here." Seeing Yang Dong's expression, Teng Qingshan felt that something was wrong. He frowned and took the letter, reading it carefully.
"Second Apprentice Brother, tell us quickly," Honglin couldn't help but urge him.
Yang Dong said to Honglin, Hongwu, and Li Jun, "Last night, our people found Gongyu's hiding place. We surrounded him on all three levels. Gongyu had nowhere to run. However … he didn't run. When we rushed in and wanted to capture him, he suddenly stopped. "
"Gongyu poured kerosene on his body before we arrived. When we rushed in, he set himself on fire. "
"He even shouted and said …"
"Teng Qingshan, don't even think about getting my corpse intact." After Yang Dong said this, he couldn't help but look at Teng Qingshan.
Hongwu and Honglin, who were at the side, thought about a person who set himself on fire and shouted this. They could imagine his ferocious and resentful expression. They couldn't help but shudder.
"This person is crazy."
"How old is Gongyu? How could he have a grudge against Father?" Hongwu and Honglin couldn't help but ask.
Teng Qingshan looked at the line of words on the secret letter.
Even if he set himself on fire, he wouldn't get an intact corpse. This way, Teng Qingshan couldn't prove that the corpse belonged to Gongyu.
"The person who has a grudge against me isn't this young man. It's his father or his teacher! Or … a sect! "
Teng Qingshan said slowly.
