Chu Yupu's slap completely frightened Chu Yufeng. The old boy cowered in his own home for a month until he was sure that his younger brother was still supervising the affairs in front of Zhili, and then he felt relieved.
As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes, and Chu Yufeng acted much more cautiously after that. In March, the old boy was determined to be evil, and came to Du Xiaoshan again to ask about Jin Duo, the dancer who had been obsessed with him before.
Jin Duo used to hang out in dance halls and was a famous dancer. Later, she met Bai Zongwei, a down-and-out painter. Jin Duo fell in love at first sight and simply married Bai Zongwei. After the marriage, the two played the piano and played the piano to each other, which was very sweet.
for two years.
But life is not only about tenderness and sweetness, but also about daily necessities. Bai Zongwei, a down-and-out painter, has to rely on Jin Duo's private money saved when he was a dancer to supplement his living expenses. The novelty of this time has passed, and the two of them have become friends.
It's a little dirty.
As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, but if she really encounters a chaste and fierce woman, Chu Yufeng now doesn't dare to make a random move, for fear of attracting Marshal Zhang again.
Since these two people are dirty, there is a chance. After further inquiry, Bai Zongwei is just a down-and-out bannerman with no foundation, otherwise he would not be in danger.
Once Chu Yufeng was bitten by a snake and had been afraid of well ropes for ten years, he immediately asked Du Xiaoshan to investigate Bai Zongwei's seven aunts, eight aunts, and three generations of ancestors until he was sure that he would not get into big trouble, and then he thought about it.
Get started.
In mid-March, Bai Zongwei quarreled with Jin Duo at home, and by the time he went to the studio, it was already too late. He thought his boss would scold him, but unexpectedly, his boss smiled and comforted him.
Then he said: "Zong Wei, your painting was sold for a total of one hundred and fifty oceans. According to the rules, the studio takes 40%, and you take the rest?"
Looking at the silver dollar coupon handed over by the boss, Bai Zongwei was stunned for a long time, and then he was overjoyed.
After counting the silver dollar coupons, the boss said again: "The distinguished guest likes it very much. He said that he would buy your paintings again after a while. If you work harder recently, you will definitely draw a few paintings that the distinguished guest will be satisfied with."
Bai Zongwei immediately agreed happily: "Don't worry, even if you don't eat or drink, you still have to make that distinguished guest return satisfied."
Bai Zongwei was so stimulated by the ocean that he really didn't eat or drink for several days and splashed ink like crazy. Not to mention, the level of Bai Zongwei's paintings improved a lot under the stimulation of the ocean.
Because they saw the ocean, even Jin Duo became happy, and the couple quarreled less often.
Two days later, the distinguished guest came to the door. After looking around, he selected three paintings by Bai Zongwei and went straight to take photos of the five hundred oceans.
Bai Zongwei was in the studio at that time. He thought that the distinguished guest would come over to have a chat, but unexpectedly, the distinguished guest turned a blind eye to him, bought the painting, and left.
Waiting for the third time, this time the distinguished guest did not come alone, but was accompanied by someone else. Judging from his clothes, he was a wealthy man.
After buying another painting, the noble man was still admiring the painting, and the people who came with him talked to Bai Zongwei.
Bai Zongwei was shocked when he found out that the noble man was Chu Yupu's biological brother and that the person he was talking to was Du Xiaoshan from Bashantang.
Du Xiaoshan already has an identity in Jinmen, and Chu Yufeng is even more famous... to be precise, notorious.
Bai Zongwei was afraid of getting into trouble, so he immediately said that the painting would be given away for free and he would not take any money.
Du Xiaoshan said that Chu Yufeng admired Bai Zongwei's paintings, and the small amount of money was nothing. Not only that, he also invited Bai Zongwei to have dinner.
Bai Zongwei didn't dare to refuse, so he followed the two of them out to eat at a high-end restaurant. As for painters, most people who engage in art are a bit unsophisticated. Others would have suspected the two of them, but Bai Zongwei really believed the lies.
, thinking that Chu Yufeng really appreciated his own transformation.
At a banquet in the Yanbin Building, while changing glasses, Chu Yufeng proposed to go to Bai Zongwei's house to see how he painted.
Bai Zongwei also drank too much. He didn't think about anything and agreed immediately. After the meal, the three of them went to Bai Zongwei's house. Bai Zongwei painted on the spot, unaware that Chu Yufeng's pair of thief eyes were rolling around Jin Duo.
I haven’t seen him for a few years. Jin Duo is still charming, hot in figure, pleasant in appearance, and has a good temper. Chu Yufeng immediately forgot about Guan Xiyi, whom he had glimpsed earlier, and all he thought about was what
Get Jin Duo.
After that, Chu Yufeng went to Bai Zongwei's house when he had something to do, and Jin Duo went to have fun. How could he not understand Chu Yufeng's treacherous intentions?
However, Chu Yufeng's background was too big and he couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only keep the matter in his heart.
At the end of March, Du Xiaoshan found out that Bai Zongwei had gone out early that morning, so he came to his home alone and handed Jin Duo a box of jewelry.
"What does it mean?"
Du Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Don't you understand what I mean? If you accept it, then follow me to the inn later. Someone is waiting for you."
Jin Duo's heart was beating fast and he asked: "What if I don't accept it?"
"Don't accept it? Then pay back the money."
"Pay back the money?"
Du Xiaoshan sneered: "Why are you pretending to be stupid? Just how many oceans is Bai Zongwei's painting worth?"
Jin Duo knew he couldn't afford to offend him, so he bit his lip and agreed: "Well, then I'll accept it."
Du Xiaoshan was immediately relieved. He immediately led Jin Duo to a nearby inn. When Jin Duo entered the inn room, Chu Yufeng had been impatient for a long time. When he saw Jin Duo, he immediately pounced on him.
As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a thief. Once Chu Yufeng succeeded, he was like stealing a cat, and he couldn't stop. Whenever Bai Zongwei went out, he would invite Jin Duo to the hotel for a tryst. Later, he became more and more wanton, and even took over in a big way.
Shopping with Jin Duo during the day.
This Chu Yufeng had a good way of dealing with women. She was both flattering and extravagant. It didn't take long for Jin Duo to fall for her.
The paper couldn't contain the fire, and the matter was revealed by Bai Zongwei. Bai Zongwei was furious and ran to Du Xiaoshan to argue, but Du Xiaoshan forced him to pay back the money.
Not only do you have to pay back the money, but you also have to calculate the interest. If you want to avoid interest, you can sign the divorce documents immediately.
How could Bai Zongwei, a down-and-out painter, be able to compete with Chu Yufeng and Du Xiaoshan? Even if he knew about this, he would file a lawsuit with the Yamen, but the Yamen would not pay attention to his lawsuit. In desperation, Bai Zongwei wrote a petition and climbed up to the Zhongyuan Company.
On the sixth floor, I jumped straight down and my brain exploded.
There was a big gathering that day, people were coming and going, and it was making a lot of noise. The Jinmen police rushed to the scene and had no choice but to take the case.
The Jinmen police did not dare to arrest Chu Yufeng, but they were not so polite to Du Xiaoshan. Chang Zhiying immediately ordered that Du Xiaoshan be arrested and brought to justice.
Chang Zhiying was not easy to deal with either. After arresting Du Xiaoshan, he immediately started to investigate Du Xiaoshan and immediately found out that Du Xiaoshan had provided meat to Fengjun in the past two years and had secretly made more than 30,000 yuan.
Chang Zhiying immediately threatened Du Xiaoshan and asked Du Xiaoshan to hand over the slaughterhouse property. Du Xiaoshan thought he had Chu Yupu as his backer, so how could he take Chang Zhiying seriously? He immediately shouted and asked Chang Zhiying to kill him immediately.
Chang Zhiying was so angry that he immediately organized the documents and gave them to Chu Yupu.
Chu Yufeng might take Du Xiaoshan seriously, but who does Chu Yupu know about Du Xiaoshan? He is now the Zhili Supervisor, and there are countless businessmen rushing to give him money. Who does Du Xiaoshan count?
In addition, Chu Yupu was scolded by Marshal Zhang before and even Chu Yufeng was beaten. How could he not resent Du Xiaoshan, who was with Chu Yufeng at that time?
After reading Chang Zhiying's documents, Chu Yupu immediately ordered that these scum should be shot immediately.
After receiving the instructions, Chang Zhiying felt as if he had found a treasure, and turned around and escorted Du Xiaoshan to the execution ground. Along the way, Du Xiaoshan was clamoring to see Chu Yupu and Chu Yufeng brothers, but who would pay attention to him now?
After the execution, Chang Zhiying immediately collected all the properties under Du Xiaoshan's name. Jin Duo was even taken into his home by Chu Yufeng.
But it was said that among the Chu brothers, one thing just happened, and the other immediately caused trouble.
Chu Yupu's fifth concubine, Xiaoqing, didn't know what she was thinking. Whenever Liu Hanchen was in a show, she would come to the scene to support her. After this, the tabloids in Tianjin began to spread rumors that Xiaoqing and Liu Hanchen were having an affair.
Chu Yupu read the tabloid at first, and immediately laughed it off, thinking it was the tabloid spreading rumors. But he couldn't stand it. For several days, different tabloids were talking about it, and Chu Yupu suddenly felt like there was an extra forgiveness on his head.
cap.
The more Chu Yupu thought about it, the angrier she became. That day she ran home and found her fifth aunt Tai Xiaoqing to question what the tabloid was talking about.
The fifth aunt, Tai Xiaoqing, was quite calm. She only said that she simply liked Liu Hanchen's drama and nothing else. Besides, when she went out with maids and bodyguards in the army, how could she have time to have an affair with Liu Hanchen?
Not only that, Xiao Qing also opened the drawer and showed Chu Yupu a signed still of Liu Hanchen.
Xiaoqing thought that if she faced it calmly, she would get a scolding at most. But she didn't understand the psychology of men. Chu Yupu was born as a bandit and acted arrogantly. How could he tolerate his woman thinking about another man?
Besides, there is a commotion in the city outside, and the people of Pingjin and Tianjin are all laughing at it. Does he, the Zhili Supervisor, still want to be shameless?
With blood boiling, Chu Yupu took out his pistol and shot Xiaoqing to death with two shots. Then he returned to the official residence and asked people to check Liu Hanchen's whereabouts.
After finding out that Liu Hanchen had gone to the capital, Chu Yupu immediately sent people to arrest him and ordered him to be taken back to Jinmen as quickly as possible.
Not only did his men arrest Liu Hanchen, they heard that Xiao Qing was also closely associated with the famous Peking opera master Gao Sankui, and he and Gao Sankui were also taken to Jinmen.
This incident immediately caused a stir in Beijing and Tianjin, and the Peking Opera community rushed to rescue. Mr. Mei, Yu Shuyan, and Yang Xiaolou all came forward to mediate. This incident even caused Zhang Zongchang to send a message, telling Chu Yupu to leave it alone.
But Chu Yupu got angry and refused to listen to anyone else unless it was Zhang Dashuai who spoke. In the end, Liu Hanchen and Gao Sankui were shot.
This incident was later adapted into the novel "Qiu Begonia". As for whether Xiao Qing and Liu Hanchen had anything going on, it probably didn't happen. What Xiao Qing was thinking is unknown.
There were many disturbances from the outside world, and in mid-April, Fei Jingting finally woke up from seclusion.
This retreat lasted for three months. After the Diyuan Dan expired, he ended the retreat.
He got off the bed and stretched his muscles. He was not busy disturbing his family, but felt his physical condition and thought deeply. No wonder the Great Shangqing Palace used this as a secret treasure, and it was indeed very effective. In three months, the whole body's true energy was steaming.
, the true energy travels, and under the influence, the internal organs adjacent to the lower Dantian have become the Tao body.
The important heart and lungs only need to be reworked once more, and I'm afraid they can achieve the Tao body. The muscles and muscles all over the body, including the epidermis, show signs of being semi-Tao body.
No wonder An Tonghai said back then that if he took nine Earth Yuan Pills consecutively, he would become a land god. Now just one Earth Yuan Pill has such an effect. If he uses another one, he will be able to achieve Taoism and then break through the gap.
The physical body enters the realm of nothingness.
Fei Jingting's current situation is that his body is half-incarnated and his body is light. It feels like taking one step repeatedly will break the gaps in the void world everywhere around him.
But whenever he has such thoughts in his mind, he always feels that something is binding him and won't let him go. What's the reason for this?
Could it be that a lot of history has been changed and tainted with cause and effect due to my own stirrings?
The door opened, but Zhang Leyao, who noticed that Fei Jingting was awake, walked in.
"What's wrong?"
Fei Jingting smiled and said: "Very good, if you try it again, you can achieve Taoism."
"That's good," Zhang Leyao smiled. Sensing that Fei Jingting was thoughtful, she asked, "What is your confusion, husband?"
"Well...it really does." Fei Jingting organized his words and said, "Le Yao, does Taoism talk about cause and effect?"
"Cause and effect? That's a saying that only Buddhism has. Taoism doesn't pay attention to this." After a pause, Zhang Leyao changed the topic: "However, Taoism does pay attention to responsibility."
"Responsibility?"
It’s really no wonder that Fei Jingting is ignorant and ignorant. There are thousands of Taoist teachings, and it is impossible for a practitioner to read them all.
Zhang Leyao sat next to Fei Jingting and said: "Being responsible, carrying forward and bearing responsibility later. This theory comes from the Taiping Jing, which is derived from the Book of Changes."
There is a saying in the Taiping Jing: A house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed, and a house that accumulates bad deeds will have lingering disasters.
During the Five Dynasties, Feng Dao's poem "The Way of Heaven" points out the principle of responsibility: The poor and the rich all depend on their fate, so why bother to sigh. But if you know how to do good things, don't ask about the future. When winter is gone, the ice will be wiped out, and when spring comes, grass will grow on its own.
Please observe this principle, the way of heaven is very clear.
This theory says that people in the past planted trees and people in the future will enjoy the shade, and people in the past did evil and the people in the future will be unlucky.
Practitioners only cultivate this life, not the afterlife, and do not consider their descendants. However, there is also commitment, which is to honor gratitude and negative feelings.
It is said that before ascending, one must repay all the debts and debts one has received, and only then can one float away lightly.
Therefore, if you practice the right way, those who want to ascend to immortality must either hide away from the world or live in seclusion, or do good deeds and accumulate virtue.
After listening to Zhang Leyao's story, Fei Jingting frowned and felt relieved. It turned out that the bond involved was to repay the debt he had owed.
It does make sense when you think about it. Quanzhen avoids the world and practices cultivation. Although Zhengyi enters the world, his purpose is to kill demons and eliminate evil spirits and not be contaminated by the grudges and hatreds of the world. In this way, he has done good deeds and is free from responsibility.
There is also a lineage of sword immortals who simply refuse to eat the fireworks of the world and live in isolation, so they can't be found even if they try to find them.
I regret that my practice back then was shallow and I didn’t know the truth behind it. I just thought that practice was just about accumulating true energy, climbing to a higher level, acting arbitrarily, and tainted a lot of kindness.
Hey, the most urgent thing now is not to rush to cultivate the physical body into a Taoist body, but to repay the kindness as soon as possible.
