Light rain and fog gathered in the sky, and the sound of dripping raindrops continued to sound all around.

Quietly listening to the sound of rain outside, Chen Ming held a book in his hand and sat in an aisle to read quietly, but his thoughts couldn't help but drift further and further away.

"You have been in Longshui County for nearly three months. Where should you go next?"

Sitting on a wooden chair, Chen Ming had this idea in his mind.

At this moment, he has been staying in Longshui for three months. Some things that need to be dealt with have been dealt with now, and it is almost time to leave.

In this world, he is not a wanderer without a destination, but a traveler with a home to return to.

Whether it is Yueshan or the Chen family, it is his destination.

"Yue Shan, with my current strength, the thing that attacked me before may not be my opponent now..."

Sitting there, holding a book in his hand, Chen Ming thought silently: "But it's hard to say exactly how dangerous Xie Mei is. It's better not to touch it if possible."

When he was in Heiyan Mountain before, Lu Liang's warning came to Chen Ming's mind.

The situation on Yue Mountain is very special. There are more than one evil spirit on it, and the one Chen Ming encountered before may not be the strongest.

This situation is very wrong. In Chen Ming's opinion, it is best not to touch it if possible.

"Going back to Chen's house?"

Putting down the book, this thought came to his mind for no apparent reason.

Although he had not been in this world for a long time, the few months he had spent in the Chen family when he had just traveled through time still left a deep impression on him.

His father's care, the congratulations and care from his tribe, the constant drinking and drinking, and the luxurious life accompanied by dogs and horses all gave him a new feeling and gave him a sense of belonging to that strange home.

By now, most of his problems have been solved, and his originally weak Qi and Blood body has also been strengthened, so he doesn't have to worry about the contamination of ordinary evil spirits.

So, go home?

Sitting on the wooden chair, this thought flashed through his mind.

At this moment, the rain outside gradually stopped, and the sun rose again in the sky. Under the bright sunshine, a rush of footsteps came from outside, followed by a somewhat rickety figure walking slowly.

"Sir." An old voice came from the front, and then a figure slowly came into view.

This is an old man who looks to be about fifty or sixty years old. He is wearing a gray robe at the moment. His body is leaning forward slightly and he looks a little rickety. He is looking at Chen Ming sitting on the wooden chair with some respect on his face.

This is the housekeeper Chen Ming hired during this period. Although he is not very capable, he is quite diligent in his work.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the housekeeper, Chen Ming looked up and then spoke.

"The information you inquired about before has been found."

Looking at Chen Ming, the butler said with a respectful expression: "There is news from Zhao Si that there are martial arts masters from several martial arts schools who are willing to offer their martial arts skills. There is also Baogetang. I heard that

The young master bought all kinds of martial arts secret books at high prices, and he also leaked some information, saying that he had a few things that he could ask the young master to come and take a look at."

"Let those martial artists submit a summary of their martial arts skills directly. Each of them will be given thirty taels of silver first, and I will reward you after I read it."

Chen Ming said casually, not paying much attention to the martial arts in these martial arts schools.

In a few months, while taking care of the Luliang couple's funeral, Chen Ming also took the opportunity to collect various martial arts skills near Longshui.

Because the price is quite generous, during this period, some martial arts schools couldn't help but be tempted to hand over their own martial arts skills.

Regarding this situation, Chen Ming was initially filled with joy, but in the end he was greatly disappointed.

Most of the martial arts in these martial arts schools are poor. Not only are they not systematic, but some are full of errors and omissions. At best, they can only serve as a reference, and they are not even qualified to manifest martial arts on the source force interface.

The reason why Chen Ming collected these was just for the purpose of expanding his martial arts knowledge. After all, the derivation function of the source power is based on his own martial arts knowledge. It would also be beneficial to expand his martial arts knowledge.

"As for Baoyuan Pavilion..."

At the mention of this name, Chen Ming pondered for a moment, and then said: "I'll go over and have a look later."

"Then go down and prepare the carriage and horses for the young master." The old butler nodded respectfully, and then walked out slowly.

On the spot, watching the old housekeeper slowly leaving, Chen Ming also lost interest in reading. He directly put down the book in his hand, got up and walked towards the room outside.

He walked slowly outside, stopping only when he reached outside a room and looked into it through the window.

In the spacious room, Xiao Lu Qing kept carrying the book with a miserable look on her face, not daring to move her body.

In front of her, two old masters with old faces and master's robes stared at her with serious expressions. As long as she made the slightest move, the rulers in her hands would be knocked down immediately.

This is the teacher Chen Ming specially hired for Lu Qing to teach her her lessons.

Under the control of these two old masters, Lu Qing had a miserable face all day long.

Looking at her little face with a bitter expression, Chen Ming couldn't help but smile, and then inexplicably thought of Fang Jia on Yue Mountain.

When he was on Yueshan Mountain, whenever he was reviewing his lessons, Fang Jia would always have a sad face like this, which made him look a little pitiful.

He stood there and looked around. After a while, seeing that Lu Qing's behavior was normal and her attitude was still serious, Chen Ming nodded secretly and then walked away.

At noon, after lunch, Chen Ming rode a carriage and slowly walked to a luxuriously decorated building.

At this moment, after a light rain, the sun rises high in the sky, shining brightly on the earth, and directly evaporates the remaining water vapor on the ground, making the ground much tidier.

"Mr. Chen, you are here."

Walking into the building, an old man was already standing there.

The old man has an old face and looks to be around sixty or seventy. He is wearing a gray robe. He is standing in front of the building and looking at Chen Ming quietly with a smile on his face: "Master Chen, please come with me."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the building, slowly walked into a hall, and then slowly stopped.

Walking into the hall, Chen Ming raised his head and looked around.

The hall in front of me seemed very spacious. There was nothing else in it except a few tables and some cabinets, making this place a bit too spacious.

In front of him, after arriving in this hall, the old man walked to a relatively clean wooden table, looked at Chen Ming and said, "Mr. Chen, please rest for a while. The things will be delivered here shortly."

"Okay." Chen Ming nodded, looked at the old man in front of him and sat down without much hesitation.

Not long after, a rush of footsteps came from outside, and then a maid held a large wooden box in her hand. She placed the wooden box on the wooden table with a respectful expression, and then opened it gently with her hands and feet.

The wooden box was opened, revealing several things inside, including several volumes of ancient books that seemed to be old.

"This is the treasure we have here. There are three volumes in total, all of which are first-class martial arts. Mr. Chen can take a look first."

In front of him, looking at Chen Ming in front of him, the old man said to Chen Ming with a smile on his face.

Chen Ming nodded and took out one of the ancient books at will.

This ancient book seems to be quite old, and the contents inside it look a bit old, but the handwriting is still clear and there doesn't seem to be much problem.

"It's a boxing technique, but it's pretty good."

Looking at the ancient book in his hand, Chen Ming nodded secretly.

Compared with those martial arts schools, this Baoyuan Pavilion is obviously much more grand. The martial arts it produces are pretty good. If you put it outside, it would be at least second-rate. It is enough to be used as an heirloom for some martial arts families.

With the foreshadowing of this boxing technique, Chen Ming couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart. Then he put down the ancient book in his hand and continued to read the next one.

To Chen Ming's surprise, what was recorded in the second ancient book turned out to be an incomplete internal force method.

"This Qingsong Gong was obtained by our Baoyuan Pavilion several years ago. Since then, most of it has been damaged, but there are no problems with the first three floors. You can practice it with confidence."

Seeing the change in Chen Ming's face, the old man sat in front of him and explained: "This mental method is a health-preserving method that specializes in moisturizing the body. It is the most gentle to practice. Even if you practice it wrong, there will be no problem. Chen

Young Master, you can rest assured."

"not bad."

With a slight nod, Chen Ming put down the ancient book in his hand and looked at the last ancient book.

However, this ancient book has no surprises like before. It is just an ordinary palm technique, which to Chen Ming can only be regarded as better than nothing.

"Gu Guanshi, please give me a price."

Putting down the last skill secret book and looking at the old man in front of him, Chen Ming thought for a while and spoke directly.

Seeing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Gu Steward's face: "These things have been treasured in my Baoyuan Pavilion for many years. They are all fine ancient books. Since Mr. Chen wants them, how about a price of two thousand taels?"

"One thousand taels." Chen Ming counter-offered directly.

"This..." Gu Gu Gu's face showed hesitation, and he seemed to be hesitant.

"It's just some secret books that are deliberately made ancient, and they are not unique."

Chen Ming looked at Gu Gu Gu, his face seemed a little impatient: "Besides these, I don't believe you haven't left any copies."

"Okay...Okay..." Steward Gu said with a reluctant expression and full of tangles: "Then one thousand taels."

Seeing that the deal was concluded, Chen Ming stretched out his hand, took out a banknote from his arms, placed it on the wooden table, and then turned to leave.

"Mr. Chen." Behind him, Steward Gu's voice continued to come.

Standing on the spot, after accepting the banknote, Gu Guanshi's previously hesitant expression had completely disappeared. At this moment, his face was full of bright smile: "I know there is a place where there may be some martial arts secrets. I don't know if Young Master

interested in?"

"Huh?" Chen Ming hesitated.

"Of course, compared to the ones issued by Baoyuan Pavilion, the origin of the secret books issued by that place is somewhat problematic."

Behind him, at the wooden table, seeing Chen Ming stop, Steward Gu continued to speak.
