Chapter 51 Chang Xiao plays with fire with his tail between his legs
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, when it was just dawn and there were still stars hanging in the sky, Chang Xiao got up. In fact, he couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. After cultivating his true energy, Chang Xiao's sleep time was shortened.
One or two hours. In the past, I had to sleep for four hours, but now I only need to sleep for two or three hours.
After Chang Xiao woke up in the middle of the night, he did not get out of bed. Instead, he lay on the bed and circulated his Qi, which kept moving around in his body, one acupoint after another. Unfortunately, his Qi was too weak.
It's very difficult to lift it up. After walking ten acupoints, I can't walk anymore.
Saying it is weak is Chang Xiao's own feeling. In fact, compared to ordinary monks, most of the monks who have just cultivated their true qi cannot even leave their Dantian, and need to be repeatedly warmed and nourished by the two qi of essence and essence.
, only after it has grown stronger can it go out of the Dantian and use it to attack the acupoints. Chang Xiao's Qi at this time is already quite strong compared to monks at the same level as him. After all, he has absorbed most of Witch Languang's cultivation, although this
Part of the cultivation base was lost a lot, but enough was left that Changxiao benefited from.
Changxiao Zhenqi enters the ten acupoints from the lower abdomen downwards, including the Knee Point, Liangqiu Point, Fuliu Point, Yingu Point, Xuehai Point, Chengshan Point, Jiexi Point, and Weizhong Point.
Zusanli acupoint and Yanglingquan acupoint. After the zhenqi has circulated through these ten acupoints, they become swollen and swollen, and there is also a sense of soreness and numbness. Each acupoint seems to have some zhenqi stored in it, making it warm.
of.
Chang Xiao felt that his legs were much stronger than before, but unfortunately he was inexperienced and only used his Qi to move one leg, without turning both legs in a circle. Therefore, this one leg felt very powerful, while the other leg felt weak.
I feel sore and weak like I have rheumatism.
So much so that when Chang Xiao got off the bed, he looked a little lame.
Chang Xiao sleeps in the back room, and Ping'er who serves him sleeps outside, waiting to serve Chang Xiao at any time. Ping'er looked at Chang Xiao for so long last night that he still hasn't woken up yet. Chang Xiao can hear Ping'er's even voice.
The sound of breathing could even be smelled by the faint fragrance emanating from Ping'er's mouth, so Chang Xiao didn't make any sound and grabbed the nine-ring sword, a few Jingyamen's fire talismans and another pattern.
The talisman of unknown origin came out of the house.
Chang Sheng knew that Chang Xiao was good at martial arts, so he specially opened a spacious place in the yard, covered it with flowers and plants, and covered it with thick blue stones. It was filled with axes, axes, knives, forks, various weapons, and several wooden stakes.
Don't know what it is used for.
Chang Xiao touched the weapons one by one and felt that the nine-ring sword in his hand was more comfortable, so he started practicing in the yard.
Originally, Chang Xiao didn't know much about swordsmanship. He had never even touched a cold weapon like a long sword in his previous life. Later, he gradually merged with the body of Young Master Chang and gradually became proficient in swordsmanship. Obviously
Mr. Chang has indeed worked hard in martial arts, but the foundation laid by these hard training has been cheap to Chang Xiao.
After some practice, Chang Xiao felt that his body was warm, and there was a slight sweat rising from the top of his head. Chang Xiao could even feel that some impurities were discharged from the body with the sweat. Except for his two legs, one was strong and the other was weak, everything about his body was really there.
Refreshing and satisfying! Places that used to be out of reach between sword skills are now extremely smooth. I can swing the sword twenty times in a row without feeling tired! In the past, I could only swing ten times at most without gasping for breath.
It's powerful.
You must know that if these twenty attacks are to be struck in succession, most martial artists may not be able to resist it!
After putting away the knife, Chang Xiao took out the yellow talismans.
However, Chang Xiao looked around and saw that the servants who had gotten up early were already cleaning up and moving around in the yard. It would be too shocking to create a fireball. Chang Xiao thought about it and walked to the backyard. There was a pavilion here.
There is a small pool under the pavilion. Although the pool is stagnant, it is well-kept and clear and transparent. In autumn, koi carps are getting fat, and groups of them are swimming in the water.
The most important thing is that if there is no cleaning time in the backyard, no servants will come in. Chang Xiao looked around, closed his eyes and listened carefully. Sure enough, there was no one, so he took out the fire talisman.
According to Chen Zhuo's words, you only need to pour the true energy into the fire talisman. It is not difficult. The most important thing to cast the talisman is to have true energy. In other words, you can use the true qi to cast the talisman!
Chang Xiao thought that Chen Zhuo could release a fireball over one meter high, so the fireball he released was only about half a meter. After all, Chen Zhuo had been practicing for a long time, so he was much more powerful than him.
Chang Xiao aroused the true energy from the Dantian Qi sea. Following the guidance of Chang Xiao's thoughts, the lid of the alchemy furnace in the lower abdomen was opened, and a burst of true energy burst out from it. Chang Xiao's lower abdomen immediately bulged into a fist.
A big or small lump, this lump snakes all the way up and reaches the throat. When I laugh often, I feel retching and uncomfortable. I open my mouth unnaturally and puff out the breath onto the Fire Talisman.
The fire symbol exploded with a bang, and the red flames formed a fireball with a diameter of two meters. Chang Xiao was the first to bear the brunt, and his body immediately caught fire.
Fortunately, Chang Xiao reacted quickly. After all, Chen Zhuo had learned from the past, so as soon as he saw the flames in front of him, he turned around and jumped into the pool, so that he was not disfigured by the flames.
When Chang Xiao stood up from the water in embarrassment, the flames in the sky had begun to dissipate, turning into dozens of balls and burning for a while before disappearing without a trace in the sky.
Chang Xiao wiped his face and looked at the burned clothes on his chest. He couldn't help but cry out in his heart. "Playing with fire and self-immolation" is what it means!
Although he was embarrassed, Chang Xiao was extremely happy, a hundred times happier than when he hit the first ten rings!
Seeing that the scale of the flames he released just now was twice as powerful as that of Chen Zhuo, Chang Xiao felt a little unbelievable. Could it be that he had become so powerful in the blink of an eye? At this point, Chen Zhuo's status as an immortal master suddenly became clear to Chang Xiao.
collapsed.
Chang Xiao climbed up from the water to the shore and couldn't help laughing. It turns out that fireballs and other things are so simple. The so-called immortal Taoism is not difficult for those who can master it!
Chang Xiao ignored his wet clothes. The coldness of this autumn morning seemed to be unable to invade him. Chang Xiao took out another talisman with a different pattern from the fire talisman. The vermilion lines and patterns on this talisman were
The fire talisman is completely different. I don’t know what it is. Chang Xiao is about to activate his energy to try it. Suddenly he hears someone walking hurriedly in the distance. Chang Xiao can tell from the footsteps that the person is Ping’er.
.
Chang Xiao accepted the talisman and seal. After a while, Ping'er came running over in a panic, without even combing her hair.
This pool is not far behind Chang Xiao's house. Ping'er must have been awakened by the sound of water and didn't see Chang Xiao, so she ran over in such a panic.
Chang Xiao, who had changed into clean clothes, drank a large bowl of ginger soup under Ping'er's somewhat resentful eyes. Ping'er was obviously angry, picked up the bowl and backed away. Although he still looked respectful, everyone knew this.
The little girl felt very unhappy.
Chang Xiao didn't know how this girl, who had always been cautious in front of him, dared to look down on him. Could it be that she lacked discipline? I must teach her to sing "Conquer" when I have time!
Chang Xiao was thoughtful and immediately forgot about this matter, because Chang Sheng came early in the morning and was waiting for him. According to Chang Sheng's arrangement, Chang Xiao's schedule today was full.
"Young master, I have already sent a message to my aunt in the palace. I think she will recruit you into the palace soon. In the past few days, I will take you to visit the old masters. Although these people have different identities, I will take you to the palace."
It’s too high, but in the court, they are all the assistants of our Chang family, including Zuo Guangdu Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, Lin Yuelin Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue..."
Chang Xiao waved his hand to interrupt Chang Sheng's words and asked directly: "There is a censor named Wang Changxu, uncle, do you know?"
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "Young master also knows him? This Wang Yushi is considered the number one figure in the capital, and the top three figure in Qingliu. His mouth is extremely vicious, even the old man is...
He has participated in several books."
Chang laughed and then asked: "What is this person's character like?"
Chang Sheng didn't know why Chang Xiao asked this question, but he still answered truthfully: "This man calls himself Qingya layman, and he is an upright person on the surface."
Just because he's upright on the surface means he's no good in private.
Chang Sheng stroked his beard and thought for a moment before saying: "This Wang Changxu was born into a poor family. He was born in Tanhua in the forty-eighth year of Wanli. He worked as an editor of the Hanlin Academy in the Taichang year. In the third year of Tianqi, he eunuch Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei joined the cabinet.
At that time, he was promoted and served as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs. After the fall of the eunuch party, Wang Changxu was surprisingly not implicated. He has been sitting in the position of censor without making any big move. Young Master, this person is a mad dog. Who can I see?
Whoever bites you, don’t provoke him unless necessary.”
Chang Xiao took a deep look at Chang Sheng at this time, with an unattractive appearance. He didn't expect to know so much about a person. He even knew the year Tanhua was born and his life history.
I know that this Wang Changxu is probably not the kind of person Chang Sheng is very familiar with. If he was familiar with him, I am afraid that three generations of their ancestors would be able to tell him how ugly they are. No wonder Old Man Chang wants to accept him as his adopted son. This person is indeed extraordinary.
Of course, Chang Xiao didn't want to provoke Wang Changxu, but he was asking for Jin Yun. Although Jin Yun was lukewarm to him when he was about to enter the city, he was still Huang Lingsong's descendant. It didn't matter what happened to Jin Yun, he just wanted to see Huang Lingsong kill him.
Chang Xiao also had to help find out about the spirit of a wife who killed her daughter and wasted no time.
Chang Xiao asked Wang Changxu's address, and Chang Sheng naturally knew it. Chang Xiao called Chang You in, gave him the address, and asked him to bring a familiar servant from the capital to deliver the letter to Jin Yun, and then continued to ask:
"Uncle, the Cai family has a doctor in the capital. What kind of official position does he have? What is his strength?"
Chang Xiao had already heard about the matter of cleaning up the Cai family on the street. Chang Sheng knew all the details clearly. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The Cai family has been in decline for a long time. Will the next generation be able to keep the title of earl?"
Not necessarily. Their family in the capital is just two doctors of the fifth rank. They may be able to call the shots locally, but in the capital, even a stone thrown can hit a fifth-rank official. His Cai family and our Chang family
In comparison, it's far from enough, and even if you try to give them the courage to do so, you won't be able to stir up trouble."
Chang Xiao originally thought that the Cai family was nothing special, but now he felt even more relieved when he heard Chang Sheng say it himself.
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, he changed the topic and said: "Young master, you can do whatever you want locally, but in this capital, it's different. In the capital..."
Chang Xiao smiled and interrupted Chang Sheng's words: "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital, right? There are countless nobles, right? You call me a person with my tail between my legs, right?"
Hearing this, Chang Sheng smiled unexpectedly, shook his head and said: "Master, you are wrong! It's not that our Chang family can't offend others. The capital is indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, but our Chang family is the dragon. We have countless honors.
But our Chang family is the noblest among the nobles. In this capital, our Chang family is slightly lower than the three families of Zhu, Zhang and Wang. Excluding the Zhu family royal family, we can rank among the top three in the capital, so
Except for these three families, you don’t need to pay too much attention to the others. Of course, the elders of the cabinet should stay away from them, but that’s all. If these people in the cabinet are rich and powerful today, they will be expelled back to their hometowns tomorrow if they can’t keep it all.
He even lost his head, which is incomparable to a family like ours!"
"The reason why the old man wanted to leave the capital back then was not because he had to retreat in a hurry, but because our Chang family was too powerful. We were the first family under the royal family in the capital. The four families of Zhang, Wang, Sun and Liu joined forces to deal with our Chang family.
, the old man learned the hard way and then left. As soon as the old man left, the four families started fighting. Now a few years have passed, the Sun family and the Liu family have disappeared, the Zhang family and the Wang family have also been turned upside down. Our Chang family is still doing well.
Even more holy."
Chang Sheng paused for a moment, giving Chang Xiao time to think, and then continued: "Since the young master has returned to the capital, he must do something to achieve success. He does not ask for today's things, but he must show his dignity no matter what.
Come out! Otherwise, those officials who are just behind the scenes will think that our Chang family has no one, and the Zhang and Wang families will also think that our Chang family can be bullied."
