At night, the moonlight is faint and quiet like water, pouring over the earth.

The Great Yong Dynasty, the city of Nan'an County in Ji Prefecture, West Court of the wealthy Meng Family.

A young man dressed in purple clothes stood quietly in the empty and quiet courtyard, and the surroundings were illuminated by a hazy red light.

The boy's eyes were slightly closed, his hands were placed across his chest, his fingertips intertwined, and he made a Buddhist gesture.

The expression is solemn and dignified, like a solemn Buddha statue in a temple.

At the same time, he's concentrated on the inner strength in his body, urging the surging inner strength like a tidal wave.

Between breathing, like pulling the bellows, the huge airflow fluctuated with the boy's breathing.

It was vaguely like hearing the sound of chanting scriptures, showing the strength of its internal organs and bones, as if a fierce beast was hiding in it.

Through the soft moonlight, it can be seen that this young man's appearance is extremely outstanding.

He was about eighteen years old, and his long black satin hair was neatly combed with silver knots tied behind his shoulders.

The sword eyebrows fly slantingly, pitch black as ink, the nose is like hanging gall, the lips are thin, and the lines on the face are soft and heroic.

The whole person is as white as jade under the hazy red light, and the figure is also extremely tall and protruding, with an extraordinary momentum of heroism.

Suddenly, the teenager's slightly closed eyes opened, and in the dark night, like two white electric lights suddenly appeared, sharp like a knife, making people dare not look directly.

The long white breath exhaled is like an arrow that is shot out, and it does not disperse.

The young man retracted his qi, stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and thought to himself,

"Finally, I managed to grasp the Arhat Boxing Gong that came from this installation

Although it was not able to directly open up the sea Dantian, it created the strongest foundation.

But in the end, it is above average, like a vast lake, and there is still room for improvement.

In this world, Houtian Martial Arts is divided into three stages.

They are the three levels of Qi condesation and Qi accumulation, and Sea transformation, and Meridian Opening, which can also be simplified as the three stages of Initiation, Minor success, and Major Achievement.

Let's not talk about the absorption of qi and condensed energy, the accumulation of Qi into the sea requires warriors to accumulate powerful internal strength to open up the sea Dantian.

Because this stage is too important, it is also called Dao Foundation Establishment realm.

Corresponding to the dantian developed by the martial artist, there are ponds, streams, lakes, rivers, and seas, and the foundations are completely different.

The most obvious is that there is a world of difference in the degree of inner strength.

It can only open up the foundation of a martial artist like pool Dantian, which is the worst.

And the martial artist who has opened up a sea ​​dantian is not only stronger, but also has unlimited potential.

Therefore, in this level, the warriors will directly open the gap, the strong will always be strong, and the weak will become weaker.

Many people, especially the disciples of famous sects, will not easily pass this level, but will spend years or even longer to polish the foundation of this layer.

To be able to open up the lake dantian is already very good for his age.

Besides, the origin of this youth is not simple.

His name is Meng Zhao, and he is the only son of the second house of the Meng family, a wealthy family in Nan'an County.

Despite the death of both parents, the family is still alive and there is a large family business waiting to be inherited.

Unfortunately, although this identity is real, he, as a person, is a fake.

To be precise, the teenager is a transmigrator.

In the previous life, because of watching many people brawling in an antique shop, he was affected by pond fish, and one was thrown down inadvertently.

When I woke up, I had come to this strange world.

And what's even more tragic is that he transmigrated into a beggar who was suffering from a serious illness and had no ability to survive.

Barely clothed, suffering from hunger and cold, and suffering from serious diseases, he was either starving to death or dying of disease.

Fortunately, he was spotted and rescued by a mysterious person of unknown origin, and he was taken to a mysterious place like an underground palace for more than a year of training.

Training, there is only one disguise, play a teenager named Meng Zhao.

The reason is that he has a face and body that is 90% similar to the real Meng Zhao, and he is also similar in age and has advantages that the disguising technique does not have.

For this reason, he lived a life ten times more diligent and hardworking than in the most difficult stage of studying in his previous life.

Learn the real Meng Zhao's accent, behavior habits, and master all kinds of necessary knowledge and skills, including writing, history, genealogy, and martial arts...

By looking at the portraits, I can understand Meng Zhao's interpersonal relationships. There are so many things, it can be said that the details are extremely detailed.

It was not until three days ago that he received an initiation transmission from a middle-aged monk under the arrangement of that mysterious person.

Washing the essence and cutting the marrow, reborn, and replenishing the original, deficient body.

He also obtained more than 20 years of pure inner cultivation base out of thin air and opened up a lake Dantian.

In terms of pure cultivation, it is no worse than the real Meng Zhao.

This is actually very important.

After all, the similarity in appearance is easy to carve, and the gap in martial arts is easy to reveal.

How can a weak chicken who has practiced martial arts for a year and has weak internal strength be Meng Zhao, who has practiced for ten years and has a solid foundation?

Afterwards, the mysterious man even completed a scene where the civet cat was replaced by the prince, and he was transferred to the real Meng Zhao.

You know, the true Meng Zhao left his hometown for ten years, and has been living in the Great Buddhist Temple in Yujing, the imperial capital.

This time, when he returned to the family, he was surrounded by a large number of Meng family masters to protect him.

Strictly guarded, but still said, let him successfully replace Meng Zhao and return to the Meng family, which shows that the mysterious man has great powers.

Moreover, from the knowledge and mastery of Meng Zhao revealed by the mysterious man, it can also be inferred that the other party definitely has an extremely powerful intelligence network.

But what gave Meng Zhao slight peace of mind was that the mystery man didn't do everything he could to get him to complete any thrilling tasks right away.

But let him integrate into the Meng family with peace of mind and play the role of Meng Zhao well.

Probably equivalent to a latent spy, it may not be activated for a few years.

This allowed him to reduce the risk of exposure, which was a consolation.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the green stone archway on the west side of the courtyard.

From far to near, without deliberately concealing it, Meng Zhao's thoughts were brought back to reality.

He tidied up his clothes, his originally gloomy expression, and frowning brows quickly relaxed, becoming clear and warm, sunny and warm.

At first sight, people feel he is a modest gentleman, and now he is completely different from just now.

What caught Meng Zhao's eyes was a young man dressed in yellow cedar, who was walking with gusto.

This young man is not very old, but he looks like eighteen or nineteen, with a round face and big eyes, dark skin and an ordinary figure.

Although not handsome, he looks a bit cheerful and smart.

Meng Zhao's mind instinctively reflected the young man's message:

Lu Le, an orphan, was adopted in his early years because of his amazing bones by Lu Zhong, a three-generation old servant of the Meng Zhao family and the great steward of the Meng family's second house. He became Lu Zhong's adopted son.

After Meng Zhao returned to the family, this Lu Le naturally became his sidekick, close friend, and attendant.

Moreover, on the premise that Meng Zhao's identity has not been exposed, his loyalty is beyond doubt.

Lu Le hurriedly walked in front of Meng Zhao, knelt down on his knees, bowed his head, held up his hands very respectfully, and handed a gilded invitation card with black characters on a red background to Meng Zhao, saying:

"Young Master, this is an invitation sent by the Second brother's subordinates saying that he is inviting you to Yalan Pavilion to taste wine and admire the moon."

Lu Le's voice had a cold texture that is rare among young people, and it sounded very comfortable.

Meng Zhao didn't accept the invitation, but walked to Lu Le with a gentle smile, put his hands on the boy's arms, pulled him up directly, and reproach him softly,

"Lu Le, I told you before that I don't like you kneeling in front of me. You are the adopted son of Uncle Zhong, that is, my brother. How can there be a reason for brothers to kneel and worship at every turn?"　　

Lu Le was not used to Meng Zhao's approachable approach, and said with sincerity and fear,

"Young master must not be like this, the so-called respect and order, there is a difference between the upper and lower, you are the master, I am a slave, and I am born to serve you, but I dare not break the rules. But if the young master doesn't like it, the little slave will not kneel in the future, but will only bow to you, so that you can feel at ease."

Meng Zhao shook his head, took the invitation from Lu Le, and opened it.

The content is very simple, nothing more than that the second brother in the long room set up a table of good wine and good dishes, and invited him to enjoy it and reminisce about the long-term relationship.

After Meng Zhao read it, he threw the invitation card into Lu Le's arms and said,

"Lu Le, what do you think is the purpose of my second brother inviting me over? Should I go to the banquet?"

Although he was a fake, compared to the real Meng Zhao who had been away from home for ten years and never returned, he probably knew the Meng family better.

Knowing that the second brother Meng Wenyan had no good banquet, the intention of inviting him was not so simple.
