Practice begins with using the Six Dings and Six Jias

After dinner.

Li Pingan and his friends stayed overnight at Xu's mansion.

Among the wealthy families in Huai'an City, the Xu family's residence is considered shabby.

But there is absolutely no problem in letting Li Pingan and his friends stay for a few days.

"Aren't you going back to your home?" Xu Qing looked at Li Pingan in surprise.

It's okay for other people, but Li Ping'an's home is in Huai'an City.

Why stay at his house? Why not just go home?

"No." Li Pingan shook his head. "I'll be annoyed if I see my dad when I go back."

"He will definitely blame me for you again. I am so tired of hearing you."

"Come to think of it, why was I thrown into the battlefield by my father this time? Is it related to you?"

"This can involve me?" Xu Qing raised his eyebrows.

"Wasn't my father invited to attend your eldest brother's wedding last time?"

"Did he see you at that time? After the wedding, he threw you to the battlefield outside the pass."

Xu Qing recalled the conversation he had with Li's father at that time, and out of guilt he did not mention the matter of Li Ping'an returning home.

After dinner, everyone went to the courtyard and talked about everything under the moon.

Xu's mother wanted to pull Xu Qing aside to have a good chat, but seeing the situation, she decided not to get involved.

She pulled her eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Bai Lele, Zhao Yinxi and other female relatives aside to chat about some private matters among girls.

Several men still gathered together and talked about their experiences over the years.

Since the eldest brother Xu Huo got married, he has gradually paid less attention to practicing martial arts and has focused more on taking care of his own family and his father and mother.

San'er had a heavy burden on his shoulders and passed by the house without entering.

Xu Huai is far away in the imperial capital, with a bright future ahead of him, and cannot fulfill his filial duties to his parents.

Then he had no choice but to shoulder this responsibility, and as he was overwhelmed with miscellaneous tasks, the time for practicing martial arts every day was constantly compressed.

In the path of martial arts, if he doesn't make progress, he will regress. Fortunately, he once took Maiwang to reshape his bones, and in recent years he has become an eighth-rank martial artist.

It’s not a small achievement.

My second brother Xu Huai has been highly valued in the officialdom in recent years because of Xu Qing.

He stayed away from the intrigues and corruption in officialdom and only met good people.

He has been rising rapidly in recent years, and was promoted to the Ministry of Personnel not long after entering the Hanlin Academy.

The Ministry of Personnel has a very important position among the six ministries. Although Xu Huai holds a small position, he has great power.

In the core center of Dasheng, where a brick could hit the rich and powerful, it could be said that it was a position that could not be ignored.

Dasheng was a dynasty of national destiny. Over the years, Xu Huai had used the national destiny to hone his own cultivation and had already reached the fourth level of Confucian scholar.

Even talented people like Li Pingan can't match his speed.

This is a characteristic of the Dynasty of National Destiny. As long as you keep rising in status, more and more dynasty fortune will gather on you, and the speed of your cultivation will improve faster and faster.

Of course Xu Huai is a special case.

Even the top families in Imperial Capital City couldn't do what he did now.

The aristocratic families and the royal family have their own ways of checks and balances, and it is absolutely impossible for them to allow disciples of aristocratic families to occupy positions in the court on a large scale.

Every emperor would try his best to promote children from poor families to power.

Xu Huai was born in a farming family and could be said to have a good family background.

Normally, even if one has this status, one will get some attention from the emperor, but one still has to gain experience.

But Xu Huai happened to have a good younger brother.

As Xu Qing's cultivation and reputation grow, as Xu Qing's blood-related brother.

Xu Huai would naturally attract attention from all parties in the court.

This kind of attention reached its peak when Xu Qing became the top person in the seventh realm.

It is estimated that when Xu Huai returns to the Imperial Capital this time, his position will be further improved.

He is not yet the Minister of the Six Ministries, but he should have no problem being the first person under the Ministers of the Six Ministries.

By then, Xu Huai will officially take up a high position, and his every word, action, breath and breath may affect the direction of the huge vehicle of Dasheng.

Li Pingan, Zhao Yinxi, Chen Ziming and Jiang Yuexian have just briefly talked about their experiences in the past period of time.

I just pick things that are interesting or impressive to talk about.

Li Ping'an talked about his several near-death experiences. If it weren't for his ancestor's Dharma image, he would have probably died on the northern defense line.

And this was just a small local battle during the large-scale ceasefire on the northern defense line.

I really don’t know how tragic it would be if a war were launched on all fronts.

"What will happen next?" Li Pingan asked suddenly.

His eyes were deep, filled with a hint of worry about the future.

After being tempered on the battlefield, his temperament has become much calmer.

"I've been through war, so I know how terrible it is. It's like a meat grinder. Having a high level of cultivation is useless. Once you get in, you'll just kill more people, and then be killed in return."

"This is just a small war, and it's so brutal."

“Not to mention a full-scale war on the northern front, which would be ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times more brutal than this.”

"And next, we will have to face a world war. A lot of people will die, right?"

After hearing Li Ping'an's words, everyone fell silent.

Whether it is a cultivator or an ordinary person, no one wants to see war happen.

Because it means devastation and countless deaths.

Xu Qing sighed.

Obviously this topic has been mentioned before, but everyone always brings it up again subconsciously.

Because I feel unsure, I want to get some sense of security from him.

"The world is turning upside down." Xu Qing said softly.

"The whole world is going to be in a huge crisis, so be prepared."

Xu Qing decided not to hide it from everyone anymore and let them know it sooner.

"Next, the whole world will unite, regardless of whether it is the righteous path or the evil path, it will be the same."

Finally getting a definite answer from Xu Qing, the uneasiness in everyone's hearts finally turned into rusty reality.

"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, you are now the heads of your respective families."

Xu Qing looked at the women of the Xu family, Zhao Yinxi, and Bai Lele who were chatting happily nearby.

"We understand, San'er." Xu Huai nodded heavily.

Since you are the head of the family, you naturally have to take on the responsibilities of the family.

"No matter what happens in the future, we will protect them."

"As for you." Xu Qing looked at Li Ping'an, Chen Ziming and Jiang Yuexian.

"I'm sorry, but you may need to go to the battlefield with me."

Since the alliance was initiated by Yuanfu Temple, Yuanfu Temple should naturally shoulder its due responsibilities.

"This is not your problem." Li Pingan shook his head.

"This is our responsibility, not because of you."

"Even if you are not here, as disciples of the Dao Sect, we should stand up when the world is in trouble, and we will stand up."

"That's right." Chen Ziming and Jiang Xianyue agreed.

When troubled times arise, Taoists will come down from the mountains.

Xu Qing nodded: "Absorb the thing I gave you well, it will help you break through the fifth realm."

"Do you know when the catastrophe will come?" Li Ping'an asked again.

"I don't know." Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, "But there will be a call for conscription before the catastrophe occurs."

"You can pay attention to Leiyin Buddha Kingdom."

"Once something unusual happens in Leiyin Buddha Country, it means the time is almost up."

The Leiyin Buddha Kingdom is the first precursor to the appearance of the "cause" that gives birth to the causal monster in the true sense.

With the signs coming out, it is not long before the "cause" for the birth of the causal monster appears in this world.

"Leiyin Buddhist Kingdom?" Li Pingan and others as well as Xu Huo and Xu Huai were all moved.

Li Pingan's eyes flickered: "The entire Leiyin Buddhist Kingdom..."

"Yes." Xu Qing nodded, "By then, the cause and effect of the people in the entire Leiyin Buddhist Kingdom will be distorted, forming some kind of indescribable monster."

"No one in this entire country can escape?" Jiang Xianyue was shocked. Although Leiyin Buddha Country is only the size of a few cities compared to Dasheng.

But there are quite a few people living there.

"Yes."

In a sense, people are made up of cause and effect.

The cause and effect of the entire Leiyin Buddhist Kingdom had already begun to become chaotic when Master Yongji was replaced by the cause and effect monster.

It’s just because Zhuang Yan acted as the anchor.

That's why there was no complete chaos in a short period of time.

But Zhuang Yan has dragged on long enough.

The signs won’t be far away.

Everyone took a deep breath, obviously shocked beyond measure by the news.

"Don't worry, we are not without a chance of winning." Xu Qing's eyes sparkled.

Heaven has its own arrangements, but he will not put all his hopes on it.

Xu Qing, Master, and Master Xuan Zhen also have other arrangements.

However, how to conceal this arrangement from the heavens is a big problem.

So their backup plan will be in the past.

Plant a seed in the past that is unknown to people, even to heaven, and then wait for it to take root and sprout naturally.

The three of them actually didn't mention this openly.

It's just that we all agreed to go to the same place.

Of course, there is too much randomness involved. After a long time, it is hard to tell whether the seeds can take root and sprout.

Can it continue to sow seeds and spread until it reaches a certain point in the future?

Xu Qing wasn't sure either.

But only this kind of uncertainty can deceive the heavens and give rise to the "cause" of the birth of causal monsters.

"I believe you on this." Li Pingan laughed.

"How many people were shocked by your appearance. In less than ten years, you have cultivated to the top of the world."

"Looking back to the past and throughout the future, you may be the only one like this."

"Xu Qing, you are the one who is destined to be the one." Li Pingan stared at Xu Qing with burning eyes.

"If you think there's a chance, then I think there's a chance too."

"Trust me so much?"

"Who else can we trust except you?"

Xu Qing looked up at the sky.

"Then wait and see. I won't let you down."

"it is good."

The night passed in silence.

When I woke up the next day, the atmosphere at home remained the same, with not much change.

Everyone is still doing their own thing as usual.

"San'er is awake, come and have some porridge."

Xu Qing had a rare good night's sleep yesterday, and it was like returning to the mortal world.

"Okay." Xu Qing took the porridge handed over by Xu's mother Liu Fang.

White porridge has more water than rice. In the past, this kind of porridge was only eaten by people who could not afford to cook at home.

Because they cannot fill their stomachs, farmers do heavy and physical work.

Drinking only this bowl of white porridge in the morning is almost the same as not eating anything. My stomach is burning.

So even if I make porridge in the morning, it is always very thick.

It’s just that the Xu family now has no worries about food and drink, and they don’t have to do any heavy work.

At first, the porridge made in the morning was the kind of white porridge that was as thick as rice.

But gradually it turned into this kind of thin porridge.

Xu Qing felt refreshed while drinking the white porridge.

Served with some side dishes, it is very appetizing.

He drank three bowls in a row before he finished.

"San'er, how long do you plan to stay at home this time?" Xu's mother Liu Fang asked nervously.

"It's impossible to last too long, but five or six days should be no problem."

"Five or six days will be enough." Xu's mother Liu Fang was overjoyed.

She didn't expect to keep her youngest child at home for long.

Now that the youngest son has grown up and is capable of doing great things, it is impossible for him to stay at home for long.

It would be great if we could have five or six days.

"San'er, what do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you in the next few days."

"Hmm" Xu Qing thought for a while, "Mom, I want to eat eight-treasure rice, and..."

Xu Qing listed a series of dishes as if he was ordering food.

Xu's mother Liu Fang did not blame Xu Qing for having too many requests and not being able to remember them all at once. She quickly grabbed her second son Xu Huai and asked him to take note of it with paper.

Xu Huai said with a savory mouth: "Mom, I haven't eaten something this good in a long time, why don't you listen to me?"

"Bullshit." Xu's mother Liu Fang glared, "You will be short of food if you are an official in the Imperial Capital."

"I heard from Xiuxiu that there is a royal chef from the palace who is working for you in your house."

Xu Huai smiled awkwardly.

I didn’t expect Xiuxiu would even say this to her mother.

"Go prepare the ingredients for the dishes San'er wants to eat."

Xu Huai didn't dare to say anything else and went out with a piece of white paper with a series of dish names written on it.

"San'er, tell me, what have you been through in these years?"

Xu Qing's deeds actually gradually spread.

Some people are even digging deep into all of Xu Qing's past and compiling it into a storybook for publication.

What's more, Yuanfu Temple is right next to Huai'an City, and Xu's mother Liu Fang has heard more or less about Xu Qing's affairs.

But no matter how much you hear from others, it can never compare to what you hear from your own children.

"Mom" Xu Qing told her mother in detail about his experiences over the years.

Of course, some thrilling ones and those involving certain secrets are not mentioned.

Even so, Xu's mother Liu Fang was also shocked when she heard it.

Later, Xu Huo and Li Pingan also came over to listen together.

Xu Qing looked at the blow, the smile on his face growing wider.

Xu Qing stayed at home for five days.

During this period, I didn't think about anything and nothing was useful.

Even spiritual practice was put aside.

Just enjoying this rare time with family and friends.

On the sixth day, when Xu's mother Liu Fang was preparing the meal that Xu Qingai wanted to eat, she suddenly saw him in a plain Taoist robe.

The whole person was surprisingly otherworldly, completely devoid of the worldly air of the past five days.

"San'er, what are you doing?" Xu's mother Liu Fang was trembling with fear.

"Mom." Xu Qing said softly, "I should leave now."

"So fast?" Xu's mother Liu Fang couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes.

Xu Qing had told him early in the morning that he would only stay at home for five or six days.

But these days, Xu's mother Liu Fang deliberately avoided thinking about this time.

Unexpectedly, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Father Xu was also somewhat reluctant, but he kept a stern face.

"San'er has something important to do."

"Don't cry and make things difficult for him." (End of this chapter)
