Only when they were far away did Da Ya and the others dare to poke their heads out of the hall.
After all, he is a Yin God. Even though he is just a house god, he is still a real god. Compared with them, these old fairies cannot even compete with him.
"I have heard that in the land of Baiyue, some large clans have worshiped house gods for hundreds of years. That is terrifying. Compared with this old gentleman, he is not even a bit worse."
When Da Ya talked about what he had heard, Xu Tong couldn't help but ask, "The old man is a Yin god. What should he do if he wants to further become a Yang god?"
"This..." Da Ya grinned, played with his furry tail and said, "It's difficult."
The Shinto is not as good as the Immortal. Cultivating the Yin God is just the first step. If you want to cultivate the Yang God, you have to be canonized by the imperial court and tell the world.
Since ancient times, there have been a few people who have received this kind of treatment. For example, when Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was in power, he named Wudang Sanfeng Zhenren as "The Sixth Patriarch Yulong's Hidden Immortal Residence, Hua Xuwei Pudu Tianzun"
In addition, Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty also named Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect as the "Real Person of Changchun Yan Taoist Bishop" and so on.
But these big guys have too many names, and the emperor can add them to them at every whim, which is the icing on the cake.
There are only a handful of other people who have been banned in history.
Unless some particularly touching deeds are reported to the court and cause the court and the emperor to sigh, they will be granted posthumous titles.
As for the evil spirit like this old gentleman, it is said that it is just a flash in the pan. When the Ma family falls and the world looks at it, it disappears into thin air and is not even qualified to enter reincarnation.
There are countless cases like this.
Xu Tong listened to Da Ya chattering at the entrance of the hall about a lot of things about spiritual cultivation, then opened the door and walked into the room.
After closing the door, he turned around and saw that Lerou was already sleeping soundly on the bed. Although Xu Tong was curious about what the scales on this girl were, Lerou himself couldn't tell where the scales on her body came from.
.
Seeing that she was already asleep, Xu Tong put her on the bed. Anyway, the bed was big enough, and it would be very spacious for two more people.
There was nothing to say all night. When Xu Tong woke up early the next morning, he saw Le Rou lying in his arms. He didn't know what delicious food he had dreamed about, and he smiled innocently from time to time on his face.
The slap on her face yesterday made her face still look red. Xu Tong took out some anti-inflammatory medicine and applied it on it, put on new clothes and went to the main hall to have breakfast.
It was said to be morning, but it was around three o'clock in the morning, almost four o'clock in the morning.
Don't think that the gentlemen in the feudal era were really free. In fact, they had to go to court at the fifth watch, which is equivalent to 05:00 to 07:00 now.
The court time is adjusted according to the seasons, it is 06:00 in spring and winter, and 05:30 in summer and autumn.
Although it is the emperor's working hours, the ministers have to wait much earlier. From 3 to 5 am, the ministers will wait outside the Meridian Gate.
So it was already morning for Ma Qi. While eating, Xu Tong called Wang Zheng over: "Dad, I saw that he was very good at fighting yesterday, so I recruited him to be my bodyguard.
It’s a question.”
Ma Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that you will soon become a powerful imperial guard, and you still have the nerve to ask for a bodyguard. Do you think your father has not been embarrassed enough?
But Ma Qi didn't say anything, and the grandmother on the side immediately responded and glared at her husband Ma Qi fiercely: "It's time to have a bodyguard. The war is in chaos. What if something happens to you?"
After saying that, he asked the accountant to pay Xu Tong three hundred taels of silver on the spot, which he treated as monthly payment for Wang Zheng.
"Besides, Dad, I also want to practice martial arts. Can you find me a master?"
Xu Tong happily accepted the money and continued to speak with a stern look on his face.
After hearing this, Ma Qi's expression finally improved a lot. After all, he is the leader of the Forbidden Army, and his son cannot be an idiot. When he was about to invite a teacher and father from the Forbidden Army, Xu Tong grabbed the grandma's hand first and said:
"Mom, I heard that there is a martial arts champion named Wu Guodong who has a good skill. I want to learn it."
Naturally, Xu Tong didn't know Wu Guodong, but Wang Zheng did. In reality, he got a fragment of a boxing technique, and the boxing technique was signed by Wu Guodong. Wang Zheng checked the information and found that Wu Guodong lived in this era and was a martial arts champion.
What's strange is that there is no record of any information about Wu Guodong.
"no!"
Ma Qi's face darkened, he waved his hand and put the bowl on the table, staring at Xu Tong with an evil expression: "Even if you ask Tong Zaitang and Zhang Sanjia to teach you, I can invite them, but he can't."
.”
Xu Tong was surprised to find that even the usually arrogant grandma lowered her head and refused to speak.
"Does our family have a grudge against him?"
Seeing Ma Qi's furious look, Xu Tong asked carefully.
But Ma Qi curled his lips and ignored him at all. He picked up his official hat and left. As for the eldest grandmother, she said with a sad expression: "My child, you can call anyone your master, but this person can't be your father."
We were martial arts students of the same year as him, but he was the top scholar, and your father was not."
Xu Tong had a look of realization on his face, but he didn't believe it at all in his heart. He looked at the grandma whose face was so red that her earlobes were red, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, so that's what happened, mother, then why are you blushing?"
The eldest grandma stared and quickly covered her face: "The soup will be hot!"
Xu Tong blinked and continued: "Then why is it white again?"
"I sweated too much and all the powder fell off." The grandma quickly wiped it a few times, and Xu Tong had a bad smile on his face: "Then why is it yellow again?"
"You little bastard, you are making fun of your mother."
The eldest grandma slapped the table and shook off Xu Tong's hand, covered her face and left.
Xu Tong watched his cheap old lady leave, grinning, and saw that the jade bracelet that had always been inseparable from the grandma's hand had been taken off by him at some point.
Anyway, I have already agreed to learn boxing. As for my father and mother, I can't do that much.
As for where Wu Guodong is? Don't worry about it. Are you afraid that you won't be able to find anyone else when you enter Qintian Prison?
I went to Qintian Prison to report today, so naturally I didn't have to go so early. It was too early and the Ministry of War had not yet gone to court. It was almost noon before Xu Tong wandered to the Ministry of War to report.
Ma Qi had already said hello about this matter. The man in charge of the Ministry of War naturally took Xu Tong's hand with a friendly face, gave Xu Tong the green light to arrange all the procedures, and sent Xu Tong to Qintian Prison.
went.
Sure enough, there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials. This sentence is not false at all.
The head guard of the Qintian Prison also knew that this was the man who came here to do the gold plating, so he did not dare to neglect him and personally took Xu Tong around the entire Qintian Prison.
Actually, this is a casual job, and the gentlemen of Qintian Prison are usually old homebodies who never leave their homes.
Naturally, the work of serving them is done by eunuchs. They, the guards, just need to take a walk here, drink tea, and patrol.
Of course, this is Xu Tong's treatment. Ordinary Imperial Guards are naturally not so leisurely.
"Trash, you can't do this well, you're all trash!!"
As soon as the two of them reached the door of the main hall, they heard a roar of thunder coming from inside. Several eunuchs crawled and hid behind. Chessboards, tables, bronze mirrors and other messy things were thrown out of the door.
Some eunuchs couldn't dodge and were smashed to death.
Immediately, the foreman took Xu Tong and hid aside to watch. He pointed to the main hall and said: "In the future, you can take it easy when you come to this place. Our supervisor is called Fu Anning. He is very shady and angry all day long. He is more likely to fall out than to read a book."
Come on, hide when we see you."
Xu Tong nodded and wrote down the name.
At this moment, a eunuch was beaten out. His foot slipped and he rolled on the ground, falling right in front of Xu Tong.
The eunuch looked up at Xu Tong, and Xu Tong looked at the eunuch. Their eyes met, and the smile on Xu Tong's face gradually grew: "Hey, little father-in-law, we meet again."
"ah!"
Li Xi squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully before suddenly remembering the identity of the young master in front of him: "Oh, it's Mr. Ma!"
Li Xi didn't care about the cut on his face and stood up quickly.
Xu Tong gave him a hand, pulled him to his side, and pointed to the angry man in the hall: "What kind of wind did this Lord have?"
"Shh!"
Li Xi quickly lowered his voice and whispered: "I don't know, the prison has been like eating gunpowder in the past few days. Just now someone knocked over the tea cup, and who would have thought that he would suddenly become furious."
"Let's go, this is not the place to talk. I'm afraid this Lord Supervisor is going to lose his temper for a while."
The foreman waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get out of the way. When the supervisor's temper subsides, everyone can come back to serve him.
Xu Tong grabbed Li Xi's wrist and said, "Your head is broken. I just happened to have medicine with me. Find a place and I can help you apply it."
Li Xi's delicate face showed hesitation for a moment when he heard the words, but Xu Tong didn't give him this chance. He took him to a secluded corner and began to bandage his wounds.
While bandaging, he said: "It is said that we are acquaintances once and twice, so we can be considered acquaintances. In fact, as soon as I saw you, I felt that we were very compatible. You are like a good brother to me. It's a pity that he was not lucky enough to die.
I’m so miserable.”
Li Xi's eyes rolled around and he said with a smile: "Master Ma, aren't you joking? I don't dare to have slaves like you. If you like me, it will be my blessing if you use me more often in the future."
Already."
Xu Tong's face was full of disapproval: "Hey, what you said is as if I deliberately lied to you. Besides, who is not a slave? My father is also a slave when talking about it. Everyone is a miserable person. No one should laugh at the same time.
Already."
What Li Xi said seemed to be touched by something in his heart. He stared straight at Xu Tong. Seeing that his expression was sincere and didn't seem to be fake at all, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.
Thinking that after so many years, besides my old mentor, there are still people who can treat me as a human being.
Li Xi was still silent with the sadness in his heart. Xu Tong had already bandaged the wound skillfully, patted Li Xi on the shoulder and said, "Come to me if you need anything in the future. Let's go."
After saying that, Xu Tongren had already walked away without even having a chance to thank Li Xi.
Seeing that Xu Tong and the others were gone, Li Xi's expression was uncertain for a moment. He looked around and saw no one was around, so he secretly took out six copper coins to predict a fortune for himself.
After taking a look at the hexagram image, I went up to the hexagram and changed it to Ze.
Seeing this, Li Xi's eyes showed secret joy and he hurried back to continue his errands.
Little did they know that as soon as Li Xi left, Xu Tong poked his head out of the corner with his head tilted, and the smile on his face became colder and colder: "Hey, don't worry, let's settle our accounts slowly!"
