The first day on duty is basically a familiarization process.
Where you can enter and where you cannot enter.
For example, the Hubu in front of the Qintian Prison and the Xingbu next to it are not allowed to enter.
In layman's terms, they are equivalent to security guards, the people in this house are company employees, and the company boss is the emperor, no, the Empress Dowager Cisheng.
Working three shifts, basically four hours a day, is actually quite relaxing. The two days of holiday per month are actually just a fiction for Xu Tong. If he doesn’t want to come, the foreman will not care. After all, this kind of example in the Forbidden Army is too
too much.
For example, a relative of a prince or aristocrat was brought in, given a name, and disappeared the next day. They were paid a sum of money every month, and the foreman had never seen him.
In fact, this is good for these foremen. After all, they are here to be the bosses. If they don't come, they won't come, so as not to cause any trouble and they will also be implicated.
However, Xu Tong was obviously an exception. In the following days, he arrived at work on time every day and was never even late.
If he hadn't known that he was the son of the March family, who would have thought that any young man could really come here to suffer punishment these days.
When Xu Tong came home that day, it was almost dark. As soon as he walked in, his mother stared at him. She grabbed his arm and asked him about the jade bracelet. Xu Tong shook his head repeatedly to express that he had not seen it.
.
After confirming again and again, the eldest grandma left with a depressed look on her face.
After finally getting rid of the eldest lady, Wang Zheng put down the stone lock in his hand and approached Xu Tong expectantly.
That little look in his eyes clearly said, Where is my master? We agreed, but why hasn’t there been any movement in the past few days?
"That's Wu Zhuangyuan, not a cat or a dog on the street. It's not that easy to find."
Before Wang Zheng could speak, Xu Tong rolled his eyes and spoke first.
In fact, he had also made inquiries in the past two days, but there was no news at all about Wu Guodong.
Other martial arts champions, at least the most junior ones, can be officials, the smallest ones can open a martial arts school, and the worst ones can also work in the palace.
But Wu Guodong was different. After this guy won the Wu Zhuangyuan, he mysteriously disappeared without any news.
"oh!"
Although he was disappointed, Wang Zheng was not dissatisfied. In fact, this place was much more comfortable to live in than the Black Boxing Stadium, and the food and drinks were delicious. Although Ma Qi was opposed to Xu Tong finding a bodyguard in his heart, he saw Wang Zheng
He casually picked up the sixty kilogram stone lock and played with it, and immediately looked at Wang Zheng with admiration.
It means that Wang Zheng's monthly income has doubled, even if it means raising such an idle person in vain, it is still worth it.
With good food and drink, Wang Zheng was of course not in a hurry. Anyway, his side mission had failed, and it was said that people from the black boxing ring were still looking for him.
Xu Tong returned to the room and just wanted to take a rest. He had just taken off his clothes and was about to open his mouth to eat the pancake handed to him by Lerou. However, before he could enjoy the happiness of a rich man, a servant came to inform him, saying
It's the son of the Xiang family who is here.
"Xiang Keding?" Xu Tong frowned. He didn't know what this guy was doing here, so he could only change his clothes in a hurry and go out.
"Brother Ma, didn't you agree to treat us to a drink? Why haven't I seen you in the past few days?"
As soon as Xiang Keding entered the door, he joked.
Not only Xiang Keding came, but also Mr. Li from last time. After the two teased Xu Tong, Xiang Keding pulled him out and said, "Quick, let's go see a strange man today."
"Strange person?"
Xu Tong didn't know why, and Mr. Li on the side explained: "You don't know, I heard that a strange man came to Taoyuan Temple. He was not only proficient in divination, but also had superb medical skills. He was called a living god. Such people
How can we not go and see how lively it is?"
After hearing Mr. Li boasting like this, Xu Tong couldn't help but become interested.
It is said that the current situation is far from as depressed as that of the Age of Ending Dharma. Even for many heretics, this era of great unification is nothing more than a fish in water. The chaotic and corrupt government has made the people miserable and has given three religions and nine streams rich soil for development.
But after being here for so long, the stranger I really saw was Li Xi, the scourge.
So when Mr. Li said this, Xu Tong immediately became interested.
The three of them went straight to Taoyuan Temple.
The four of them got on the carriage and when they arrived at the foot of Fengxia Mountain, they saw many pilgrims going to Taoyuan Temple to offer incense. In addition to many wealthy families, Xu Tong found that there were also many ordinary people among them.
The irony is that these ordinary people, whose clothes are patched, look sallow, skinny, and malnourished, do not hesitate to travel such a long way and spend their only savings to come here to burn incense.
"Brother Xiang, I heard that your father is already preparing to return to Beijing. This time the court will bring him back, and I'm afraid he will be entrusted with another important task."
Young Master Li shook the fan in his hand and said.
Xiang Keding's face was red and full of pride. This time his father returned to Beijing. Before he came back, the imperial edict had been sent to his family. The position of Minister of Military and Aircraft was already a certainty.
Xu Tong sat aside and watched coldly, looking out the car window from time to time. When he saw an old woman holding a cane and limping with a child towards the mountain, he couldn't help but think of the old monk from Baima Temple.
if.
When the three people's carriages and horses arrived in front of the Taoist temple, they saw that there was already a sea of people outside the Taoist temple. After hearing about the strange man, many people gathered here to visit, wanting to see what the living gods looked like.
However, judging from the demeanor of many people walking out of the Taoist temple, they must be very disappointed.
After the three people inquired about it, they found out that it wasn't anyone who saw it. They had to draw lots and only those who got the draw could get in. Those who didn't get the draw couldn't get in no matter how much money they had to pay.
"Pretending to be a ghost!"
Xu Tong curled his lips, pushed aside everyone and walked inside with quick strides.
This naturally made many people dissatisfied. A wealthy businessman glared at Xu Tong and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You are rushing to reincarnate!"
Xu Tong curled his lips and looked back at the wealthy businessman with a faint smile: "Are you here to tell your fortune?"
The wealthy businessman snorted coldly and said with disdain: "What does it have to do with you!"
"Oh." Xu Tong nodded thoughtfully and walked up to the wealthy businessman: "Your appearance... is not good, you have suffered a bloody disaster."
The wealthy businessman was startled at first, and his heart skipped a beat. In fact, he had already visited the old immortal the day before yesterday. The old immortal once said that if he continued to stay in the capital, there would be a bloody disaster.
The wealthy businessman went back and thought about it for a while, but he didn't understand where the disaster came from. Being told this again today, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He looked at Xu Tong and said, "Where did the disaster come from?"
"Come from me!"
Xu Tong raised his fist and hit the wealthy businessman in the face. The wealthy businessman was usually very proud, but how could he dodge this punch? He was immediately beaten on his back and fell down the stairs with a grunt.
Mr. Li and Xiang Keding couldn't help but shook their heads helplessly when they saw this. They knew that Ma Hongwen had this temperament and was used to being arrogant and domineering.
But the two of them didn't think it was a big deal. A businessman just hit him. With their status, no one would dare to do anything.
Everyone's expressions changed when they saw this, and they were surprised whose young master was so domineering. The servants next to the rich businessman were about to get into trouble when they saw this.
"stop!"
Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone looked up and saw an old Taoist walking out of the Taoist temple.
"Fairy!!"
When everyone saw the living god coming out, they all shouted the name of the god and even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old Taoist.
"Master, be careful!"
The three big-eyed people were sitting at the entrance of the hall watching a show, but when they saw the old Taoist, they ran away and hid at the entrance of the hall, and even the door was slammed shut.
When Xu Tong looked up, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. Although his face was expressionless, his heart was filled with turmoil: "He is really a living god??"
The old Taoist who walked out of the Taoist temple had a white-haired face and a jade-like complexion. Even though his hair was covered with silver frost, his whole person seemed to have a natural sense of intimacy.
Looking at the top of Lao Dao's head, there is actually a lotus pond. There is a lotus in the lotus pond that seems to be blooming at any time. There is a faint mist filled with water, and there is a spiritual light.
"Three flowers gathering at the top?"
Xu Tong stared blankly at the top of Lao Dao's head. In addition to the theory of spiritual adjustment, he had read many other miscellaneous studies and occasionally looked through them.
I remember seeing this statement in an introductory book on inner alchemy. The three flowers gathering at the top is a term for inner alchemy.
In ancient times, "Hua" and "Hua" were related, and "Hua" was the original character of "Hua". So Sanhua refers to three flowers, which represents the glory of human body's essence, energy and spirit. The so-called "Juding" means the mixture of essence, energy and spirit.
They gathered together in the entrance hall.
This point is also corroborated in theology.
Of course, the old Taoist in front of us is naturally far away from the three flowers gathering at the top, but it has already taken shape, and one of the lotus flowers is already about to bloom.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a figure who has half-stepped into the gate of the gods.
