Chapter 337 The true meaning of Talisman! (2-in-1)
Evening, study.
"Sir, after counting, the total value of the two boxes of treasures is about 500 mid-grade spiritual crystals." Song Ping'an handed a list of accounts to Song Changming.
This evaluation was calculated based on the current market value.
It can only be said that he is indeed the Su family of Changsheng. A random thank you gift is such an exaggerated amount.
And this does not include the Changshou Sword that Su Fengye personally gave to Song Changming.
In fact, a sword is hard to find, and the value of the sword may be even greater than this treasure!
"Well, take all this money and use it for the future expansion of the winery." Song Changming glanced at the list casually, and then explained.
Right now, he still has plenty of mid-grade spiritual crystals for practice and is not in shortage, so there is no need to keep this extra money for the time being.
Rather than leaving this money idle, it would be better to use it to support Song Ping'an's fledgling industry, accelerate its rise, and get on the right track as soon as possible.
If it succeeds in the future, the reward for him will be huge.
It can be said that whether he can use high-grade spiritual crystals in the future depends on whether Song Ping'an can continuously collect money for him.
"In addition, this letter is for Qingqing, please do it as soon as possible." Song Changming handed the newly written letter to Song Pingan and asked him to find someone to send it to.
"Is there something urgent?" Song Ping'an couldn't help but ask after taking the envelope.
Song Changming stood up from his chair, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said, "Su Fengye is getting remarried."
"Su Fengye" Song Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that this Su Fengye was not the biological father mentioned by Su Qingqing.
For a while, Song Ping'an also fell silent.
He and Song Changming could be said to have grown up watching Su Qingqing around them.
They know best how deeply Su Qingqing feels for her biological father and mother.
Even if she later learned the truth and knew that her mother was a demon, she still chose to go to the dangerous Yuanzhou to find her mother, which is evident.
Although she was angry with her father and the Su family's behavior before she left, she was still angry, and she did not want to completely cut off contact with Su Fengye.
It was just what the Su family did to her that made it difficult for her to get close to the Su family, so she did not recognize Su Fengye.
And now, this marriage is like a knife.
In Su Qingqing's eyes, it was Su Fengye who personally picked up the knife and wanted to cut off the father-daughter relationship with her.
This blow must be huge.
"Sir." Song Ping'an looked worried.
“We can’t help at this level.” Song Changming shook his head.
Everyone has his or her own trials and tribulations. Others can help with some things, while others need to be overcome by oneself in order to continue to grow.
Hearing this, Song Ping'an also sighed, and with a heavy heart, he took the envelope and left the house.
The next day, in the courtyard.
Even before the rooster crows, Ah Da has already started his exercises early, with a serious and focused look on his face.
By the time Song Changming left the room, Ada was already sweating profusely, his muscles were trembling, and he seemed to be on the verge of reaching his limit.
But he still gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to let up.
Song Changming quite admired Ada's enthusiasm and attitude in martial arts.
Although the postures are not so standard and only formless, except for those rare geniuses born, almost every martial artist begins their martial arts practice this way.
Song Changming himself is no exception.
A'er on the side was holding a fan and fanning his brother, shouting in a low voice to cheer him up.
My younger brother's mind is like that of a child, ignorant.
Although he didn't quite understand why his brother suddenly had to practice martial arts so hard, it didn't stop him from helping him.
Seeing Song Changming come out, Ah Er immediately put away his fan and said respectfully: "Master, breakfast is ready. Do you want to bring it out to you?"
"Yes." Song Changming nodded and sat on the stone table in the courtyard, eating breakfast while correcting Ah Da's posture.
He is very experienced in the practice of body training.
Even the Zhuang Kung Fu he taught was something he learned bit by bit through his own training and re-training, and is the only one in the world.
Although it is more difficult than most body training exercises, in terms of the effect of body training, it is definitely the best among the body training exercises that Song Changming has ever seen.
After breakfast, Song Changming adjusted his armor and went to the military station.
Today, rewards from the army also came.
Song Changming and all the generals in his recruit team received strong praise from Wang Tianshuang.
He made a serious note of his military exploits.
When you are promoted to military rank in the future, these achievements will be the key.
In addition, the army also distributed some money and spiritual crystals as rewards, and basically everyone who performed this task had a share.
The twelve recruits led by Song Changming received the most rewards.
Of course, these material and monetary rewards are still incomparable to the generous gifts specially prepared by the Su family for Song Changming. Merit rewards are still the mainstay in the military.
With this considerable achievement and the remaining savings from the previous year's mission, Song Changming had the opportunity to go to the military arsenal to select secret martial arts records.
If Su Fengye had not gifted him a sword, he would have considered exchanging his merits for a sharp blade in the military arsenal.
But now that he has Chang Shou Dao, this weapon is not among his exchange targets.
Finally, he changed to a dossier of the true meaning of Talisman.
It's not that he doesn't want to practice other martial arts. It's actually the high-level martial arts that he likes. It requires too much merit, and it can't be accumulated in one or two missions.
He had already changed to a second-grade sword art before, but it was not enough now.
Among the remaining choices, this volume of the secret record of the true meaning of Talismanism is the one that he is more interested in.
Different from martial arts, this secret record talks about talismans that he has never dabbled in.
Regarding this talisman, Song Changming had already seen all the mysteries in it since he came to Guyuan Kingdom.
For example, the Qiankun bag in his hand and various other paper talismans with various functions made Song Changming only find it interesting.
Furthermore, the runic formation in the Demon Slaying Pavilion also left a deep impression on him.
The more you understand, the more you will discover the magic of this talisman.
However, there are very few people in the army who are good at Talismanism. Most of those powerful people who are well versed in Talismanism live in major Talismanism sects.
Many of the fine talisman papers and talismans on the market are also made by these talisman disciples.
On weekdays, no matter how interested Song Changming is, it is difficult to find anyone to discuss the Tao of Talisman.
Therefore, he planned to study it himself, of course, without affecting his martial arts practice.
Anyway, he has a long time to squander and blossom everywhere. It is always good to give yourself more means.
“I don’t know if I can understand this talisman with my level of qualifications now,” Song Changming said to himself as he looked at the secret scroll of the true meaning of the talisman in his hand.
The file is very thick and contains several volumes. A quick glance shows that there is a lot of content recorded in it.
He was not sure whether he could get started with the rune path with this secret rune scroll. He thought it would not be that easy.
If Talisman Dao was really that easy to get into, Talisman masters should be everywhere in the world this time, and they wouldn’t be as scarce as they are today.
After that, with the mentality of slowly grinding, Song Changming took some time every day to start studying the files.
With no one to guide us at the beginning, it was really confusing.
But a few days later, the panel still brought him a surprise. [The True Meaning of Talisman Dao: Uninitiated (0/100)]
When he read through it several times and the Talisman Dao secret record appeared on his personal panel and there was an experience bar, he I knew I would be able to learn this talisman.
The rest is just a question of fast liver function or slow liver function.
While Song Changming was studying and pondering the Tao of Talismans every day, the news of the Su family and Su Fengye's marriage also spread like wildfire among the aristocratic families in the city.
Su Fengye had a wife, and a few top family members in the core city were still aware of the Changsheng Family scandal.
But that has been more than twenty years since now.
Many things have long been diluted. Even if there is no such thing, with Su Fengye's status, it is normal even if there are a group of wives and concubines around him, it is nothing.
Those aristocratic families are really interested in Su Fengye’s marriage partner this time, and he is not an ordinary person.
Both belong to the Changsheng family, and she is the daughter of the Gu family at its peak!
With such a status, even if she is not the core direct descendant of the Gu family, marrying into the Su family is still regarded as marrying down.
This marriage is undoubtedly a good thing and of great significance to the Su family.
Many top family members know this. In fact, they know more than ordinary people, and they are also more aware of the Su family's current embarrassing situation.
The Changsheng Su family was not born and raised in Yunzhou.
Rather, he made his fortune from Yuanzhou. Once upon a time, his ancestors were also extremely glorious.
However, Yunzhou was later invaded and occupied by countless demon tribes. The Su family also declined during this calamity, and had to choose to flee to Yunzhou to take root again.
After leaving their ancestral land and losing their foundation, even if they came to Yunzhou, the decline of the Su family was irreversible.
Now that things have happened, among the human immortal families, the Su family seems to be infinitely close to being at the bottom.
If the decline remains unchanged, and according to this trend, one generation will be inferior to the other, sooner or later the immortal bloodline will not be guaranteed, and eventually the immortal family will become an ordinary family, no longer special.
If nothing else works, it will disappear directly into the long river of history and become just a few lines recorded in the history books.
This is the current family dilemma of the Su family. It seems that their status in the city is still the same, aloof, mysterious and powerful.
But in fact, it is coming to an end.
If there are no changes and the decline remains the same, in a few years, the Su family itself will be gone.
Time passes day by day, and a month passes quickly.
In the study, Song Changming took up his pen and wrote strange characters one by one on a piece of white paper.
His expression was focused, and his eyes were full of energy, which was a sign that his mental power was dissipated.
The characters in the pen are not words, but runes.
Of course, the runes were not actually generated, this was just Song Changming's own practice.
It is writing, not inscription.
In addition, there is a small pile of wooden blocks on the desk, either round or square, which also seem to have rune marks drawn by a carving knife. These are also the results of practice.
Rune engraving is not an easy task.
This requires strong mental strength and high relevant understanding.
His current progress is still far away from successfully inscribing real runes.
Half an hour later, Song Changming opened the panel to check.
“It’s gone up a little bit more.”
[The true meaning of Fu Dao: Not yet started (5/100)]
In one month, he only gained five points of experience in Fu Dao.
This progress is not slow, it is even more difficult than when he first started practicing martial arts.
At this rate, just getting started with Fu Dao will take years.
Of course, this is also because he did not devote all his energy to it.
More often, he still focuses on martial arts training.
Fortunately, Song Changming was patient and mentally prepared, so he didn't feel frustrated at all.
Just take your time.
"It's almost time to march." Rong Jiang's voice came from outside the house.
Hearing this, Song Changming put down his pen and paper, straightened his clothes a little, and walked out of the study.
Today he took off his armor and wore a black brocade suit and a hair crown. He was a little less majestic and murderous than when he was in the army, and a little more elegant.
“Let’s go.” Song Changming got directly into the carriage and was driven by Rong Jiang towards the core city.
Today is the Su family’s wedding day for Su Fengye.
The carriage shuttled all the way from the third city to the second city.
The happy event of the Su family did not affect the people in the city.
Not even the rumors were affected, as they seemed to be isolated by the walls of the core city.
This happy event has nothing to do with them.
This is a banquet between top aristocratic families, and they are the only ones qualified to know about it.
Even Song Changming is just a special case.
The carriage entered the core city and arrived at the huge Su Mansion that it had seen once before.
The scale of Su Mansion was quite large, and Song Changming felt that it was more than enough to plan a community inside.
Today, the Su Mansion is full of people, which is extremely rare on weekdays.
After all, there are not many people who are qualified to visit the Su family, and even fewer are willing to be received.
After getting off the carriage, Rong Jiang handed over the invitation directly without any nonsense.
There was no farce of looking down on others. The steward of Su Mansion accepted the invitation and welcomed Song Changming in politely.
This was also the first time Song Changming walked into the Su Mansion.
To put it bluntly, this was the place where Su Qingqing gave birth to her and raised her, but now it seems that her place has disappeared.
The house was decorated with lanterns and streamers everywhere, and it was full of joy. It could be seen that the Su family was very grand.
Ordinary tribesmen do not receive such treatment in their marriages.
In addition, what made Song Changming a little concerned was that this huge mansion actually had more than one large formation.
The spiritual energy in the house is rich, even better than the outside world!
Entering the mansion is like entering a paradise. It can only be said that it is indeed extraordinary.
The servant led Song Changming through various gardens and waterscapes. On the way, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Looking sideways, he saw several people walking on the other road, three of whom he recognized at a glance.
It turned out to be Liu Xiangnan, Zhao Dongming and the senior gentleman from the Changsheng Jiang family.
After seeing Su Qingqing away, they had not seen each other for many years, and now they have finally seen each other again.
"Changming, you're fine." Liu Xiangnan smiled and began to greet Song Changming.
"Senior Liu, Senior Zhao, and Mr. Jiang, we meet again." Song Changming was also a little surprised to meet again on this occasion.
"Haha, I am destined to meet my little friend." Jiang He also stroked his beard and said with a smile.
