Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 662 What a loud tone!
Although Yang Zhengshan casually threw the small token, its power was far beyond that of an ordinary arrow, even an arrow shot from a crossbow was far inferior.

The three warriors in front were unable to block the rapidly shooting token. The last half-step innate warrior actually stood in front of the middle-aged man and chopped him down with his sword.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the speed of the token, and before his knife could fall, the token had already arrived.

Phew.

The small token pierced directly through his abdomen and fell in front of the middle-aged man's feet.

The blood-stained token still sparkled under the sunlight, and it looked even more gorgeous against the backdrop of blood.

The token was inserted into the bluestone ground, one inch into the stone. The words "Jing'an" were exposed outside, while the word "Hou" was already embedded into the bluestone.

The middle-aged man stood there in a daze, looking at the word "Jing'an" on the token with an uncertain expression.

A shrill scream was heard, and the half-step innate warrior who was standing in front collapsed to the ground.

On the terrace of the ship, Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard with a sneer on his face.

You deserve it for showing off!
I don't mean to shoot anyone, why are you blocking my way?
And even if I want to shoot someone, can you stop me?

No matter how noble the people in the Prince Xinjiang's Mansion are, they are just ordinary people in front of him.

If you are not innate, you are not worthy of his attention.

Therefore, Yang Zhengshan did not want to kill anyone, he just wanted to reveal his identity.

Since the other party asked, he naturally couldn't hide it.

"I am Yang Zhengshan. If you dare to block my way again next time, even if the Prince of Xinjiang is here, I will slap him twice!"

"If you don't agree, you can catch up with me at any time and find trouble with me!"

Yang Zhengshan spoke slowly and steadily. His voice was not loud, but it spread across the hundred-foot-wide river and reached very far away.

The middle-aged man on the dock heard this and his expression changed again.

He looked up at the ship that was getting farther and farther away, his eyes full of anger, but in the end he did nothing.

Yang Zhengshan!
Few people in Darei know this name now.

Twenty years ago, Yang Zhengshan was famous all over the world, and all the people and forces with a little bit of power had heard of his name.

But now, if no one mentions it, most people would probably have forgotten Yang Zhengshan.

However, the middle-aged man in front of him had obviously heard of Yang Zhengshan's name.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan didn’t know that he had met this middle-aged man before. He was the third son of the Xinjiang Prince’s Mansion.

When Tenglongwei had just started to develop maritime trade, Yang Zhengshan had come to Songhe Prefecture. At that time, someone was trying to assassinate Lu Zhengsu, the Assistant Censor-in-Chief of Jiangnan. Yang Zhengshan and the third young master were drinking tea together in a teahouse.

Later, because of the assassination, a group of yamen runners rushed into the teahouse to search for the assassin.

The third young master in front of him brought a group of playboys to beat up the yamen runners.

But at that time, the third young master was still a young man with rosy lips and white teeth, but now he is a middle-aged uncle with a big belly.

Yang Zhengshan had forgotten about this long ago, and even after the ship sailed away, he had forgotten about the middle-aged man.

"The rebels of Yungui's king are about to reach Jiangnan, but the royal relatives in Jiangnan are still parading around. I don't know what they are thinking!" Yu Qingyi looked at the sparkling river surface and shook his head slightly.

Yang Zhengshan chuckled, "You also said he was a rebel king, so Chen Hengchang is also a royal family! If he conquers Jiangnan, what do you think he will do to the Xinjiang County Prince's Mansion?"

"This~~" Yu Qingyi seemed to be thinking, "Do you mean that Chen Hengchang will also treat the Xinjiang Prince's Mansion well?"

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly.

"That's for sure. As long as Chen Hengchang is not stupid, he will win over the Xinjiang Prince's Mansion, because only in this way can he stabilize the situation in Jiangnan as soon as possible!"

"And the Xinjiang Prince's Mansion also knows this, so they are not afraid of Chen Hengchang's attack on Jiangnan!"

"Perhaps they have already colluded with Chen Hengchang."

Jiangnan not only has countless wealth, but also many martial arts masters.

Whoever controls Jiangnan will gain countless wealth and a large number of warriors.

With the wealth and warriors of Jiangnan, Chen Hengchang is qualified to dominate the world.

However, it is not easy for him to control Jiangnan. The powerful and wealthy families in Jiangnan are not fish that can be slaughtered at will.

Therefore, once Chen Hengchang occupied Jiangnan, he would inevitably focus on appeasement and try his best to win over the powerful and wealthy people in Jiangnan.

"No wonder they are not worried at all!" Yu Qingyi said suddenly.

Yang Zhengshan stretched his waist lazily, "Haha, there will be times when they worry!"

Chen Hengchang would choose to win over the powerful and noble people in Jiangnan, but the Yang family would not.

Once the Yang family seizes the world, they will definitely cleanse Jiangnan first.

All the powerful and wealthy, and all the noble families, must be eradicated.

If Yang Zhengshan's intention were followed, Jiangnan would be slaughtered in large numbers.

He has always been a man who would never talk nonsense if he could use a knife, and would never resort to any conspiracy or conspiracy if he could solve the problem with force.

Using force to solve problems does seem rough, but it is also the simplest and quickest way.

Power grows out of the barrel of a gun!

Yang Zhengshan always believed that as long as his cue was strong enough, all problems would not be a problem.

……

Daogong Mountain, Wuzhen Daogong.

A thin layer of clouds shrouded the mountain peaks, and heavy fog wandered between the palaces and pavilions, making the entire Taoist palace look like a fairyland.

There is a steep cliff, a green pine tree and a stone table. Yang Zhengshan and Xuan Zhen leaned casually on the stone bench, drinking tea and looking at the misty clouds.

Xuanzhen looked much older than before, and his hair, which originally had some black hair, had now turned silver-white.

But he is still in very good condition, with a ruddy complexion, clear eyes, and only a few shallow wrinkles on his clean face. He has white hair and a youthful face, and looks like an immortal. This is what he should look like.

Calculating his age, Xuanzhen is almost 150 years old. He is only a few years younger than Zhangye, but Zhangye passed away more than ten years ago, while he seems to be able to live for a long time.

This is normal. The lifespan of an innate warrior is around 150 years old, which is quite significant.

Generally speaking, the lifespan of a congenital warrior will not exceed one hundred and fifty years, but there are many special cases. For example, some skills can prolong life, and some precious medicines, spiritual fruits, and elixirs have the effect of prolonging life.

The exercises of Wuzhen Taoist Palace should have the effect of prolonging life, perhaps similar to the Yimu Changchun Gong practiced by Yang Zhengshan.

The two of them sat together and did not talk about the general situation in the world, let alone the royal power and nobles. Naturally, they talked about martial arts and Taoism.

Xuan Zhen looked Yang Zhengshan up and down, "To be honest, your cultivation level really surprises me!"

"Really?" Yang Zhengshan looked at himself, "What's wrong?"

Xuan Zhen half leaned on the stone bench and laughed, "How about we have a fight?"

"Ah! How do you gesture?" Yang Zhengshan said.

Xuan Zhen didn't say much. He took a deep breath and exhaled toward the outside of the cliff. In an instant, the swirling clouds were picked up by the strong wind, fluttering and flying. The misty clouds were cleared away for hundreds of feet in an instant.

Yang Zhengshan looked at this scene in silence. Well, this tone is really big!
"Please!" Xuan Zhen looked at Yang Zhengshan with a smile.

Yang Zhengshan seemed to be thinking about something. Just as he expected, Xuan Zhen had already entered the Taoism and had a deep understanding of the Taoist meaning of the wind attribute.

It looked like he had just blew a breath, but in fact he created wind out of thin air, causing clouds to surge.

Yang Zhengshan still remembered that when they were attacking Xingyue Sect, Xuan Zhen could only borrow the wind, but now he can generate wind and control it. This is an extraordinary progress.

Of course, what Xuan Zhen demonstrated just now was not just the creation of wind out of thin air, the key was the surge of wind and clouds.

He looked at the rolled-up clouds, which were like mountains. Although they were misty clouds, they were shaped into solid mountains.

This means that Xuanzhen's control over his own Tao has reached a very subtle level.

The magic is in the details!

Unfortunately, Yang Zhengshan’s understanding of the Tao was different from his.

Yang Zhengshan slowly raised his hand and waved it violently forward.

Click~
Thunder roared, and the dazzling lightning instantly split the lingering clouds.

Xuanzhen's eyes sparkled as he watched.

"Interesting, interesting, hahahaha, just as I expected, your understanding of the Tao is even better than mine!"

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, "I am still not as good as you, the thunder is violent, not as gentle as the breeze!"

"That's just the difference in the meaning of Tao." Xuan Zhen said.

Xuanzhen's Taoism is reflected in the details, while Yang Zhengshan's thunder Taoism is mainly tyranny. Xuanzhen pursues the subtle control of Taoism, while Yang Zhengshan has always been pursuing the powerful force of thunder.

The Tao intentions of the two people are not only different in nature, but also different in direction.

It doesn't mean that thunder must be violent. Thunder can also develop in subtle ways. It's just that Yang Zhengshan hasn't carefully considered the subtleties of thunder.

"How about you give me some guidance, senior?" Yu Qingyi, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but interrupt.

"Oh!" Xuan Zhen was stunned and looked at Yu Qingyi in surprise.

Yu Qingyi didn't explain much. She clasped her hands together, and in an instant, a green vine grew out of her palms. The vine became thicker and longer, extending beyond the cliff. However, in the span of a breath, the thick vine turned into an arch bridge hundreds of feet long that spanned the mountain formed by clouds.

This move made Xuan Zhen stunned.

He couldn't help but get up from the ground, ran to the vine, and poked it with his hand.

"Is this the Green Dragon Vine? It's actually real?"

Yu Qingyi raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a smile: "It can be true or false!"

"But if it were real, it would hang down over the cliff!"

Xuan Zhen said: "Please Madam Yu, please make it real!"

Yu Qingyi did not refuse. She stretched out her hand and waved it, and the vines immediately fell to the ground, but she still held a vine.

Immediately afterwards, the vines took root on the cliffs at a speed visible to the naked eye.

There was a crackling sound, and the hard rocks crumbled under the growth of the roots.

The vines that were originally like an arch bridge slowly attached themselves to the cliff, taking root and growing. In just a moment, the thick vines turned into a vine attached to the cliff, just like the vines grown naturally.

"This~~" Xuanzhen was stunned.

Controlling plant growth, is this still martial arts? Shouldn't it be a fairy method?
Well, actually there is nothing wrong in calling it a magical technique.

When one's cultivation reaches the level of Tao, it is no longer about the martial arts of weapons, but the martial arts of heaven and earth, the martial arts of the mind, and the martial arts of thoughts.

Whether it is wind, thunder, or plant growth, it is ultimately the evolution of nature.

Therefore, the fighting styles of innate warriors at the entry level become diverse and wonderful.

The principle of the vine that Yu Qingyi transformed into was to use her own unique innate true qi to catalyze the seeds. That's right, she put her hands together just now, and there was a Qinglong vine seed in her palm.

If the growing Green Dragon vine does not take root, it is fake. As long as Yu Qingyi stops maintaining the supply of true energy, the Green Dragon vine will disappear.

If Yu Qingyi maintains the flow of true Qi to allow the Green Dragon Vine to take root and sprout, then this Green Dragon Vine is real, just like a naturally grown Green Dragon Vine.

Although Xuanzhen had already entered the Tao, he had never seen such miraculous abilities.

Yang Zhengshan's thunder was nothing new to him, but Yu Qingyi's ability really opened his eyes.

"Mrs. Yu's methods are truly magical!" Xuan Zhen studied it for a long time and couldn't help but admire it.

Yu Qingyi's method is indeed magical, but it does not have much impact on the combat effect. The vine seems to grow very fast, but to a congenital warrior, it has no attack power at all.

However, some thin vines can be controlled and used as ropes.

Because grass vines grow faster, they are also more fragile.

So although Yu Qingyi's method is magical, it is not of much use in combat.

Of course, this may be because Yu Qingyi is still too weak now. Once her cultivation is further improved, perhaps there will be different performances.

Afterwards, the three of them exchanged and confirmed the Dao's ideas. Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi stayed on the top of the mountain for three days and communicated with Xuan Zhen for three days.

During these three days, all three of them gained something.

Although the attributes of the Tao cultivated by the three people are different, there are always some commonalities, and there are also many points that can verify each other.

By the time Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi left Daogong Mountain, Wuzhen Daogong had already announced that it would close its gates and seclude itself from the world for ten years.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan wanted to win Xuan Zhen over, but this old guy had a strange temper. Not only did he not like those messy things, but he also hated being forced.

When Zhangye was still alive, he could suppress him a little, but Zhangye had passed away long ago, and there was no one in this world who could force him anymore.

The reason why Zhangye can suppress him is not because Zhangye is stronger than him, but because Zhangye has helped him a lot.

What he feared was not Zhangye's cultivation and strength, but the favor he owed Zhangye.

Yang Zhengshan thought that his strength and cultivation were better than his, but he could not force Xuan Zhen to do anything. Once he forced him, this old man might turn against him.

After leaving Daogong Mountain, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi rode towards Kyoto.

Yang Zhengshan planned to meet Liang Chu and ask him what his plans were.

And just when he left Daogong Mountain, Chen Hengchang's army had already entered the Jiangnan territory.

Just as Yang Zhengshan expected, Chen Hengchang's rebels did not encounter much resistance after entering Jiangnan. The noble families they met along the way simply stayed indoors and did not stop the rebels from attacking cities and seizing territories.

At the same time, King Daliang of Hanzhong Prefecture also began to expand, but he did not continue to expand towards the capital. Instead, he headed north to capture the prefectures and counties in Longnan.

The drought in the three provinces of Longyuan has ended. Last year, the three provinces had good weather and good harvests.

After the natural disaster ended, the refugees finally had a chance to recuperate. However, after three years of severe drought, war and banditry, the population of the three provinces of Longyuan dropped by 70%.

The three provinces of Longyuan, which were once densely populated, are now sparsely populated.

However, a vast land with a sparse population also has its advantages. As long as you can occupy it, you can allow the people to reproduce and pay taxes in just one year.

It was because the King of Daliang saw this that he began to attack the Longnan area.
