Time pa.s.sed.

In the blink of an eye, 20 years pa.s.sed.

In Huaishan Town, other than the people who were a little poor, there were almost no changes to the shops or buildings. The only difference was that there were four or five more mischievous young people in the town, including Shen Ping’s son, Shen Erdan.

The small group led by Erdan had committed chivalrous deeds like stealing chickens and dogs. They climbed up the windows in the middle of the night to peep at the widow’s business, causing the people in the town to condemn them. However, on account of these guys robbing the rich to help the poor, the people didn’t really take it to heart. On the other hand, the big families in the town repeatedly asked the county office to send people to capture them.

Unfortunately, when the bailiffs came, Erdan and the others slipped into Huai Mountain, making it impossible for the bailiffs to find them.

They had no choice. The rich could only pin the blame on Shen Ping and the parents. However, the ghost concubine, Xi Lengyan, single-handedly beat up the bailiffs until they were looking for their teeth on the ground. And so, the county office did not dare to come again. After all, in this era where demons and ghosts were common, the death of a few bailiffs was nothing.

“Father, please persuade my aunt to teach me some martial arts. With martial arts, I can punish evil and promote good!” Shen Yifan begged. He had to be strong to become the leader of a small group.

However, Shen Ping refused to relent. Hence, Erdan went to beg his sister, Shen Xiuyun. Now that 20 years had pa.s.sed, Shen Xiuyun had completely become a young lady from a wealthy family. She was dignified and smart, and was praised by many people in the town. Every once in a while, someone would come to her and matchmake her.

Shen Xiuyun was very helpless about her brother. “Brother, Father is just afraid that you’ll cause trouble. It’s fine if you usually cause trouble, but if you really learn kung fu, you’ll cause big trouble. How can our poor commoners withstand big waves?”

Shen Erdan hurriedly swore seriously, “Sister, as long as I learn martial arts, I definitely won’t cause trouble. I know the rules. At most, I’ll find some mountain bandits to cause trouble. Look, there have been more and more mountain bandits in town recently. Many girls have been plundered and are in a miserable state. Do you have the heart to see anyone continue to suffer like this?”

Shen Xiuyun was kind by nature. When she heard this, she immediately felt sympathy.

Xi Lengyan smiled and said, “This brother of yours makes me worry. Don’t listen to his nonsense. There are no mountain bandits plundering. However, it’s not impossible to learn martial arts. You have to go to the mountains to hunt a mountain bear yourself. Otherwise, don’t mention it again.”

There were many wild beasts in the depths of Huai Mountain, and there were also spiritual monsters and demons born. However, they had basically been cleaned up by Ghost Concubine, leaving only wild beasts. Among them, the mountain bear was the most ferocious. Ordinary villagers did not dare to go deep into the mountains.

Once Shen Erdan knew about this condition, he brought his friends straight to the mountains to hunt mountain bears. When Shen Ping heard this, he could not help but laugh. “Lengyan, I’m afraid you miscalculated. This kid is very bold.”

Xi Lengyan didn’t mind. “I’m just using this as an excuse to teach him martial arts. He has the talent of the Dao bone, so he has to go out and adventure. If he has some ability, he can walk more smoothly in the future.”

“Suit yourself. His route is his own, and I will protect his life, but not interfere with his growth.”

Xi Lengyan knew Shen Ping’s att.i.tude. She nodded and said, “I understand.”

Shen Ping smiled and hugged her in his arms. After integrating into the lives of ordinary mortals in Huaishan Town over the years, his heart became calmer and more natural. He was more clear and prepared for the prediction of the world’s situation. It was as if this calm mood could see the world more clearly.

He looked up into the depths of Huai Mountain.His son, Erdan, had already met the mountain bear. Among the other four companions, there were two men and two women. Ever since these people got to know Erdan, their fates had changed. One of the women’s fate threads was faintly related to his son.

He deduced that these people were basically commoners in their previous lives. There were no Daoists, let alone rich people. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have been like the other low-level commoners, getting married and having children. They would have lived an ordinary life and continued the reincarnation of the next life. However, when they met their son, their fate would become strange.

“Fate is really magical. I wonder what their fate will be in the future, and what will happen in the next life?”

Shen Ping suddenly became expectant. Now that he had broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm and comprehended many Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, very few things in this world could interest him. Now, the future of these people made him a little interested.

In the evening, Erdan returned with his companions. Having hunted a mountain bear, he stood proudly before Xi Lengyan.

“Good. From today on, I will teach you kung fu. I only hope that you will not use this kung fu to harm the village.” Xi Lengyan said faintly.

Shen Erdan hurriedly patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Aunt. I definitely won’t harm the village.”

What Ghost Concubine taught was not some superficial martial arts, but an extremely powerful corporeal body technique she had obtained in the Netherworld Yin Land. She had originally planned to use this technique to condense a Yang Body, but after Shen Ping looked at it, he gave her some modifications. Therefore, this Mysterious Great Art was extremely powerful. When cultivated to the depths, she could rely on martial arts to fight against Daoists with Dao cultivation.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to use all sorts of natural treasures to a.s.sist in his cultivation. Otherwise, he would not be a match for the Daoist.

Shen Erdan’s talent was peerless. Although his Dao bone had been sealed by Shen Ping, his body had been affected by the Dao bone all year round, so his cultivation speed was very fast. In less than three to four months, he had successfully mastered it and tempered his body to be as strong as a mountain bear..
