Chapter 337 The True Meaning of Talismans! (Two in One)

Evening, in the study.

"Sir, we have counted the treasures. The total value of the two boxes is about 500 medium-grade spirit crystals." Song Ping'an handed a list of accounts to Song Changming.

This assessment was calculated based on the current market value.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being the Changsheng Su family. Any 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, precious swords are hard to find, and the value of the sword may be even higher 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.

At present, he still has enough medium-grade spirit crystals for cultivation, and there is no shortage, so there is no need to keep this extra money for the time being.

And instead of leaving this money idle, it is better to use it to support Song Ping'an's newly started industry, accelerate its rise, and get it on the right track as soon as possible.

If it succeeds in the future, the reward for him will also be huge.

It can be said that whether he can use the top-grade spiritual crystals for cultivation in the future depends on whether Song Pingan can continuously collect money for him.

"In addition, this letter is sent to Qingqing, so it's better to send it as soon as possible." Song Changming handed the letter he had just written to Song Pingan and asked him to find someone to send it out.

"Is there any urgent matter?" Song Pingan took the envelope and couldn't help asking.

Song Changming got up from the chair, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and said: "Su Fengye is going to remarry."

"Su Fengye" Song Pingan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted. Isn't this Su Fengye the biological father mentioned by Su Qingqing?

For a while, Song Pingan was also silent.

He and Song Changming can be said to have watched Su Qingqing grow up by their side since childhood.

They know best how deep Su Qingqing's feelings for her biological father and mother are in her heart.

Even if she later learned the truth of the year and knew that her mother was a demon, she still chose to go to the dangerous Yuanzhou to find her mother, which can be seen.

Although she was angry about her father and the Su family's actions before she left, she didn't want to completely cut off contact with Su Fengye.

It was just that the Su family's actions towards her made it difficult for her to get close to the Su family, so she didn't 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 between him and her.

This blow must be huge.

"Young Master." Song Ping'an looked worried.

"We can't help you with this." Song Changming shook his head.

Everyone has their own hardships and difficulties to go through. Some things can be helped by others, and some things need to be endured by oneself before they can continue to grow.

Hearing this, Song Ping'an also sighed, and with a heavy heart, he left the house with the envelope.

The next day, in the courtyard.

Before the cock crowed, Ah Da had already started to practice the Zhuang Gong early, with a serious and focused look.

By the time Song Changming left the room, Ada was already sweating all over, his muscles trembling, and he seemed to be on the verge of his limit.

But he still gritted his teeth and insisted, refusing to relax.

Song Changming still admired Ada's enthusiasm and attitude for martial arts.

Although the stance was not so standard, with only form but no spirit, except for those rare geniuses born with it, almost every martial artist started practicing martial arts this way.

Song Changming himself was no exception.

Aer, who was standing by, held a fan and fanned his brother, shouting in a low voice to cheer him up.

The younger brother's mind was 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 out.

Seeing Song Changming coming out, Aer immediately put away the fan and said respectfully: "Young Master, breakfast is ready, shall we serve it to you?"

"Yes." Song Changming nodded, and sat on the stone table in the yard, eating breakfast while correcting Ada's stance.

He is very experienced in the practice of body refining.

Even the pile training he taught was learned bit by bit from his own experience of body refining and re-preparation. It is unique in the world.

Although it is more difficult than most body refining exercises, it is definitely the best body refining exercise Song Changming has ever seen in terms of the effect of body refining.

After breakfast, Song Changming adjusted his military armor and went to the military station.

Today, the rewards from the army also came down.

Song Changming and his recruits and a group of generals were highly praised by Wang Tianshuang.

He made a great record of his military achievements.

When he is promoted to a higher rank in the future, these accumulated achievements will be the key.

In addition, the army also issued some money and spirit crystals as rewards, and basically everyone who performed this task had a share.

And 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 that the Su family specially prepared for Song Changming. The army still mainly rewards merits.

With this considerable merit, plus the remaining accumulation of the previous year's mission, Song Changming has the opportunity to go to the military arsenal to select the secret records of martial arts.

If Su Fengye had not given him the sword, he would have considered exchanging merits for a handy blade in the military arsenal.

Now that he has the Chang Shou Sword, this weapon is not among his exchange targets.

In the end, he exchanged for a volume of the true meaning of the talisman.

It's not that he doesn't want to practice other martial arts, but the high-grade martial arts he likes require too many merits, which are not enough to accumulate in one or two missions.

He had already changed a second-grade sword art, which was not enough now.

Among the remaining choices, this volume of the secret record of the true meaning of the talisman was what he was more interested in.

Unlike the martial arts, this secret record talked about the talisman that he had never dabbled in.

Since Song Changming came to Guyuan Country, he had seen all the mysteries of the talisman.

For example, the Qiankun bag in his hand, and other talisman paper and talisman tools with various functions, all made Song Changming feel interesting.

In addition, the rune remnant formation in the Demon Slaying Pavilion on this trip also left a deep impression on him.

The more you understand, the more you can discover the various wonders of the talisman.

However, there are very few people in the army who are good at the talisman, and those who are well versed in the talisman are mostly in the major talisman sects.

And many of the talisman paper and talisman tools on the market are also made by these talisman sects.

On weekdays, even if Song Changming is interested, it is difficult to find someone to discuss the talisman.

Therefore, he planned to study and figure it out by himself, of course, under the premise of not affecting his martial arts practice.

Anyway, he had a long time to squander, and it was always good to have more means.

"I don't know if I can understand the rune path with my current level of qualifications," Song Changming said to himself as he looked at the secret scroll of the true meaning of the runes.

The scroll was very thick and had several volumes. A cursory look showed that there were many contents recorded in it.

He was not sure whether he could get into the rune path with this secret scroll of runes. It should not be so easy.

If the rune path was so easy to get into, there should be many rune masters in the world, and it would not be as scarce as it is today.

Afterwards, with the mentality of slowly grinding, Song Changming took some time every day to start studying the scroll.

At the beginning, without anyone to guide him, he was really confused.

But a few days later, the panel still brought him a surprise.

[The True Meaning of the Way of Talismans: Not Yet Started (0/100)]

When he read through it several times and the secret record of the Way of Talismans appeared on his personal panel with an experience bar, he knew that he would definitely be able to learn the Way of Talismans.

The rest was just a matter of how fast or slow he would learn.

While Song Changming was studying and pondering the Way of Talismans every day, the news of Su Fengye's marriage to the Su family also spread among the aristocratic families in the city.

Su Fengye had a wife, and a few top family members in the core city still knew about the Changsheng family scandal.

But it has been more than 20 years since then.

Many things have long been diluted. Even if this incident had not happened, with Su Fengye's status and position, it would be normal for him to have many wives and concubines around him.

What those aristocratic families really care about is Su Fengye's marriage partner this time, who is not an ordinary person.

She is also from the Changsheng family, and the daughter of the Gu family, which is at the peak of the family!

With such a status and position, even if she is not the core line of the Gu family, marrying into the Su family is considered marrying down.

This marriage is undoubtedly a great thing for the Su family and of great significance.

Many people in the top families know this. In fact, they know more than ordinary people and are more aware of the Su family's current embarrassing situation.

The Changsheng Su family was not born and raised in Yunzhou.

Instead, they rose from Yuanzhou. Once upon a time, their ancestors were also extremely glorious.

However, Yunzhou was later invaded and fell by countless monsters, and the Su family also declined in this disaster and had to choose to flee to Yunzhou to re-root.

And leaving the ancestral land and losing the foundation, even if they came to Yunzhou, the weakness of the Su family is already irreversible.

At this point, among all the longevity families of the human race, the Su family seems to be infinitely close to the bottom.

And if the decline does not change, according to this trend, one generation is worse than the next, and sooner or later this longevity bloodline will be difficult to preserve, and the Changsheng family will eventually become an ordinary family, no longer special.

At worst, it will disappear directly in the long river of history and become a few lines of words recorded in history books.

This is the current dilemma of the Su family. It seems that the status in the city remains the same, transcendent, mysterious and powerful.

But in fact, it is heading towards the end.

If there is no change, the decline remains. After a few years, the Su family will be gone.

Time passed day by day, and a month passed quickly.

In the study, Song Changming picked up a pen and wrote strange characters on a piece of white paper.

He was focused, and his eyes were full of charm, which was a sign of his spiritual power.

The characters in the pen were not words, but runes.

Of course, the runes were not really generated. This was just Song Changming's own practice.

It was writing, not engraving.

In addition, there was a small pile of wood blocks on the desk, some round and some square, and there seemed to be rune marks carved by a knife on them. These were also the result of practice.

Rune engraving is not an easy task.

This requires strong spiritual power and super high relevant understanding.

His current progress is still far from successfully engraving real runes.

Half an hour later, Song Changming opened the panel to check.

"It has increased a little bit."

[The True Meaning of the Way of Talismans: Not Yet Entered (5/100)]

In a month, he only gained five points of experience in the Way of Talismans.

This progress is not slow, and it is more difficult than when he first started practicing martial arts.

At this rate, it would take years just to enter the Way of Talismans.

Of course, this is also because he did not put all his energy into it.

Most of the time, he still focused on practicing martial arts.

Fortunately, Song Changming was patient and prepared, so he didn't feel frustrated.

Just take it slow.

"It's almost time to march." Rong Jiang's voice came from outside the house.

Song Changming heard this, put down his pen and paper, tidied his clothes a little, and walked out of the study.

Today he took off his armor, put on a black brocade robe, and wore a hair crown. He looked less majestic and murderous than when he was in the army, and more elegant.

"Let's go." Song Changming got on the carriage and Rong Jiang drove him to the core city.

Today is the day when Su Fengye and Su Fengye get married.

The carriage shuttled all the way from the third city district to the second city district.

The Su family's happy event did not affect the people in the city.

Even the rumors did not spread, as if they were isolated by the walls of the core city.

This happy event has nothing to do with them.

This is a banquet between top families, and only they are qualified to know about it.

Even Song Changming is just a special case.

The carriage entered the core city and came to the huge Su Mansion that he had seen before.

The Su Mansion was quite large, and Song Changming felt that it was more than enough to plan a community inside.

Today, the Su Mansion was crowded with people, which was extremely rare on weekdays.

After all, there were not many people who were qualified to visit the Su family, and even fewer were willing to be received.

After getting off the carriage, Rong Jiang didn't waste any words and handed out the invitation directly.

There was no farce of looking down on others. The steward of the Su Mansion took the invitation and politely welcomed Song Changming in.

This was also the first time Song Changming entered the Su Mansion.

In fact, this was the place where Su Qingqing gave birth to her and raised her, but now it seemed that she had no place to stand.

The mansion was decorated with lights and full of joy, and it could be seen that the Su family was very grand in organizing it.

The wedding of ordinary clansmen would not be treated like this.

In addition, what made Song Changming a little concerned was that this huge mansion had more than one formation.

The spiritual energy in the mansion was rich, even better than the outside world!

Entering the mansion was like entering a paradise, it can only be said that it was indeed extraordinary.

The servant led Song Changming through the gardens and waterscapes all the way, and suddenly heard someone calling him on the road.

He looked sideways and saw several people walking on another road, three of whom he recognized at a glance.

It turned out to be Liu Xiangnan, Zhao Dongming and the senior gentleman from Changsheng Jiang family.

Since sending Su Qingqing away, they have not seen each other for many years, and now they have finally met again.

"Changming, how are you?" Liu Xiangnan smiled and greeted Song Changming first.

"Senior Liu, Senior Zhao, Mr. Jiang, we meet again." Song Changming was also a little surprised to be able to meet again on this occasion.

"Haha, I am destined to meet you." Jiang He also stroked his beard and smiled lightly.
