One hundred and thirtieth chapters on the forest line (12)
"Is there any obvious feeling after all the positive meridians have been opened?" It was already dawn, and Zhang Xing was holding a small notebook to do research.
"Yes... I feel that things like vision, hearing, smell, and physical strength have all improved a little." In the wet yard, Qin Bao clenched his fists and answered seriously. "But nothing is particularly excessive.
Just like among children, there is always someone with slightly better eyesight than others... But even so, all senses and strength have improved, and overall it should be much stronger than before."
"Where is the true energy?" Zhang Xing couldn't wait to ask while recording with charcoal.
"Zhen Qi is the one that changes the most." Qin Bao replied while calmly taking his luck. "In the past, there were eleven positive meridians, each of which was independent. When using Zhen Qi to exert force, it always started from Qi Hai Dantian.
, go through specific internal organs and reach specific limbs; but after the twelfth positive channel passes through, it feels like the true energy of the whole body is integrated. It does not mean that the route of exerting force will deviate, but it is just like a person exerting his own strength.
The true energy has become one with the body’s meridians, and it is much easier to send and receive it freely.”
Zhang Xing, who was sitting in the corridor, nodded repeatedly and tried to summarize while recording: "So, on the one hand, the functions of all parts of the body have been comprehensively enhanced. Although the improvement in every aspect is not an exaggeration, the all-round improvement still brings
The overall strength has been improved; in addition, the movement of the true energy and the integration with the body have become closer. Although the route has not changed, the true energy and the body are as if they are one... right?"
Qin Bao looked at the serious-faced Brother Zhang in front of him and hesitated to speak.
At this time, Yueniang, who had already gotten up, passed by the courtyard with a worried look in her eyes and asked casually: "Would it be good to eat pork liver noodles in the morning?"
Qin Bao nodded, watched Yueniang leave, and then looked at Zhang Xing again, and finally seriously reminded: "Actually, it is an old saying that is said every day, the so-called twelve true meridians, itself is the exercise of the body and the refining of the Qi... Now it is done.
"
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, then put down the notes in his hand speechlessly.
In this way, in the next few days, the early summer rain stopped for a while.
Taking this opportunity, the imperial court officially launched the last two of the three major projects proposed by the sage that day. First, naturally, after the sage nodded, the Ministry of Industry officially took over and started the construction of the Tianshu Golden Pillar according to a certain plan;
The Ministry of Civil Affairs undertook the corresponding logistics work of raising materials; while Beiya took over the construction of Babel Tower.
Therefore, the South Yamen is very busy, the North Yamen is also very busy, the princes are very busy, and the governors are also very busy.
As for the merchants, I don’t know about other places. Anyway, a large number of merchants in Dongdu began to go bankrupt, and the market began to be obviously depressed. But just like Zhang Xing thought... except for the conscious protection of a few prime ministers such as Zhang Shizhao.
In the three major cities of North City, South City, and West City, except for Zhang Han who forcibly demanded that the price of rice and other basic materials should not be increased for the sake of his own reputation, no third high-ranking official said anything about this matter, and almost everyone did not care.
The life and death of ordinary businessmen.
In fact, some powerful people have begun to intentionally or unintentionally allow their vassal merchants to acquire businesses, buy facades at low prices, or simply accept contributions from merchants themselves.
After all, according to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Beiya, no matter what, the Babel Tower and the Tianshu Golden Pillar will be completed within half a year, that is, they will be completely completed before the end of this year, so that the saint can be loyal to him at the end of this year.
Dongdu enjoys the glory he deserves.
And if this is the case, what is the difference between this turmoil, with businessmen as the main victims, and the previous Yang Shen war disaster that the Central Plains suffered?
After two years, it will become lush and green again, just like the leek field after the rain.
Even the war disasters in the Central Plains had to be blocked and driven away, and the victims had to be prevented from turning into refugees, which would cause new problems, but the merchants...the merchants could not even rebel and harm the Wei Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xing still wants to kill someone with Qin Bao from time to time.
However, to be honest, even Zhang Xing seems to be more concerned about his own cultivation now... I dare not say that he is working day and night, which is basically to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep... This is because there are at least a lot of people in Fulongwei.
Thirty masters told him that there is nothing to say about correcting the pulse, and that exercise and meditation are the most direct and appropriate methods.
On the contrary, it is Qin Bao's kind, which should be related to the characteristics of Zhenqi, showing the characteristics of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians stage, and cannot be learned.
"Have you been focusing on breakthroughs in cultivation recently?"
As May was approaching, the weather turned hotter. On this afternoon, the willow trees were blowing, and the gauze curtains were blowing. Bai Yousi, dressed in dark brocade clothes, came down from the third floor of the White Tower. At a glance, he left all the work to Xiao Zhou and then
Zhang Xing, who openly meditated on the Chongmai during working hours, kindly reminded him, "Just don't slack off on the upright pulse. There is no need to overdo it..."
Before Zhang Xing could say anything, Xiao Zhou had already taken the form with ease and went to find some clerks in the back.
And Zhang Sanlang also said: "Chang Jian thinks too much. It's not that he acted too hastily, but there is really nothing to do."
Bai Yousi immediately laughed: "But don't you always like to have nothing to do? In the past, when you had nothing to do, you would still find people to chat with, help your subordinates, treat everyone to dinner, or yourself..."
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, unable to refute... Sure enough, someone who has been observing him is really helpless sometimes.
"This time is different." After hesitating, Zhang Xing decided to be more honest. "Of course I like having nothing to do, but the premise is that there is really nothing to do, there is really no need to do it, and there is really something that must be done.
, I will still do it... What I mean when I say there is nothing to do... Chang Jian should understand, right?"
"I know." Bai Yousi came to talk quietly. "You want to do it but can't... just like me."
Zhang Xing nodded, and the two fell into silence for a moment.
To put it bluntly, neither Bai Yousi nor Zhang Xing are people who are afraid of getting into trouble. If they had followed Zhang Xing's behavior and style, they would have killed Zhang Han, the most annoying person in this matter, long ago. However, that day, he
If you cut down a general flag that is about to be hoisted with a black ribbon, you have to rely on Bai Yousi's protection to survive. How can you cut down a Nanya Xianggong?
Zhang Han was in control of part of the personnel power and the country's financial power, as well as being the person in charge of major projects. With Jian Zai's status in the Emperor's Heart, even if Bai Yousi cut him off, he would be dead.
Even though Uncle Cao Huang had been angry with Zhang Han for a long time, if someone really killed Zhang Han, the great master would probably feel extremely comfortable while surrounding Jing'an Terrace with criminals, and even take action himself, using a golden halo to circle him.
If you don't like it, just cut him in half in mid-air to express your attitude towards the saint.
When it comes to saints, there is another big tacit question.
"Chang Jian thinks." Zhang Xing, who stood up with his back to the Yangliu Forest, was at a loss for words. "Did Minister Zhang Wenda be buried together by Zhang Shizhao and Zhongcheng before?"
"If you want to go with the flow and do nothing to save someone, then there must be some." Bai Yousi's words were clear. "But if you want to say that there is a plan to bury the dead, there must be no..."
"I think so too." Zhang Xing clasped his hands again and sighed.
"I know what you mean." The female Changjian continued, and at the same time, a wave of zhenqi suddenly spread from around her body. "Killing with a borrowed knife is theoretically the best way, but in fact, when the saint sends Fulongwei to
After Zhang Han, this matter may have been settled... The saint's move already has the intention of killing his heart. Even if Zhongcheng wants to take action, he will not take action again in the short term."
"Yes." Zhang Xing nodded. "Actually, this matter has gone away since all the princes of Nanya surrendered to Your Majesty that day. Building big golden pillars has become a formal edict, and donating gold and silver is also a matter of Nanya.
The official official document from the Yamen... is just my wishful thinking."
"So, why are you so anxious to improve your cultivation?" Bai Yousi suddenly asked again.
"Isn't it a matter of course to improve one's cultivation level?" Zhang Xingqian smiled, but then paused.
Because he had realized that his deepest thoughts had been seen through by this woman.
After the pause, he took the initiative to speak up: "Is it so obvious? Has it all been seen by Chang Jian?"
"You have been testing and reasoning with people around you these days, which is a bit too much." Female Chang Jian said calmly. "Are you trying to see if anyone is willing to go with you?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing was a little embarrassed.
"Is there any?" Bai Yousi asked seriously.
"No." Zhang Xing simply answered. "Being from the Li Ding family, Qin Er still wants to stand out in the court and change the world... Even if they don't come with me, who else will be there? When I come to Dongdu,
I am poor and ignorant, but I recognize these two people."
Bai Yousi turned around and looked at the willow forest outside, and fell silent.
A gust of summer wind blew by, rolling up the branches of the willow forest and bringing up waves of green. Zhang Xing's heart was also churning, but he wanted to speak for a moment, but he didn't know where to start... Qin Er and Li
Everyone in Dingdu has his own ideas. Should he ask Bai Yousi if he will go with him?
Isn't this ridiculous?
But if we leave like this and say goodbye to the other person, what will happen in the future? It’s not that it can’t be done? It’s that we are in such a hurry that we don’t even have to ask a question?
Just as he was thinking about it, the female regular inspector stepped aside from the sensitive topic and asked slowly: "Have you decided where to go?"
"No." Zhang Xing shook his head decisively. "I never thought... I might leave directly and become a knight, I might seek a foreign job, or I might directly become a bandit, but I haven't thought of a good place."
"Then you still want to leave?" Bai Yousi sighed for a moment.
"Different paths do not lead to mutual understanding." Zhang Xingyi said. "I can't bear it anymore and I can't do anything about it, so I can only leave and find a new way. It's just..."
"It's just that your cultivation level is not enough, and it's difficult to even protect yourself, so you're just trying to survive here?" Bai Yousi asked. "What level of cultivation are you planning to achieve?"
"I thought, at least the eight extra meridians are unblocked, it would be best if the elixir is condensed." Zhang Xingyi said. "But then I thought about it, if the two meridians of Ren and Du among the eight extra meridians are unblocked, it will ensure the elixir is condensed."
If there is hope, you can leave... My current thinking is that if you touch the threshold of Ren and Du's second meridians, or if the eight extraordinary meridians casually connect two meridians, and you have some self-protective application of Qi, then you can go directly."
"No wonder." Bai Yousi sighed a little. "No wonder you are so anxious... Things like the Eight Strange Meridians depend more on your understanding and fate. For example, General Zhao, the Moyun Golden Winged Dapeng, opened his eyes in one day.
Enlightenment, appointment and supervision are both connected."
Zhang Xing didn't listen to this at all, but suddenly took a step forward and said loudly: "Check regularly!"
"What?" Bai Yousi, who was standing at the top of the stairs, suddenly trembled.
"I am a little pawn who has lost his memory. I have no relatives, no friends, and no one. It is all because of your kindness that I can live in Dongdu until now." Zhang Xing said with a calm expression. "I want to leave, because I have never left."
Jiangdong planted the seeds, but later agreed to go on another inspection trip, so he covered up the past. But now that he encountered this kind of thing again, after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to keep it anymore... All kinds of experiences are all
Chang Jian knows everything about what he has experienced and discussed with him... But if there is anyone else who is slightly concerned and sorry for you, it is you, Chang Jian... I asked directly, I
If you leave, will it affect your regular inspection and visualization?"
Bai Yousi was silent for a long time, and then he said: "In terms of practice, it only took a little time. The elixir has been completed. It is to engrave some concepts and things on the inner elixir, so that it can be projected to the outside world in the master stage.
If one doesn't work, there is another one... If you ask Li Ding or anyone else about this kind of thing, you can easily find out... Since what is engraved is a person, how can it be just a matter of practice? It will be engraved in the end.
Do you care?"
When Zhang Xing heard the last sentence, he nodded and no longer hesitated: "Then Chang Jian... let me ask one more question, are you willing to come with me?"
The smoky wind in the willow forest outside suddenly stopped. Bai Yousi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, seemingly relieved, and then immediately replied: "I would rather you wait a little longer with me."
"It's me, Meng Lang." After being asked this question, Zhang Xing also laughed in relief. "With Chang Jian's family background, connections, and abilities, even if he wants to do big things, I should be the one to follow Chang Jian... But
Since I'm so rude to ask, it also means that I really can't stand it... I have right and wrong in my heart, and I can't be happy with my grudges and help the weak. How can I wait if I don't leave? Of course, I can't be said to be stupid by nature.
, even if you finally get through the main meridians, you may have a hard time getting through two of the eight extra meridians in your life. Wouldn't this mean that you have to check your side regularly for the rest of your life? There is no need to worry."
"If you say that, I should be happy." Bai Yousi said seriously. "But I know that you are by no means a thing in the pool... and in cultivation, the higher you go, the more it depends on a person's pattern and behavior.
Experience, or even the current situation... can't stop you from soaring into the sky after all. It's just...but, after all, I still want to tell you that I'm actually very happy that you can invite me so simply..."
"I'm very happy too." Zhang Xing blurted out.
"You are not so direct with Qin Er and Li Si, are you?" Female Chang Jian asked again.
"Li Ding is a smart man. He can tell the truth. As for Qin Erlang, I don't want to use friendship to force him. It's like the patrol inspector sat back and watched me go to find them without stopping him." Zhang Xing answered sincerely and seriously. "People are the most important.
The difficult thing is to give up the opportunity to choose the weak... In this regard, I respect the regular inspection... Besides, I am not qualified to pretend to be strong in front of Qin Er."
The female Changjian nodded: "Then let's wait a moment and see the progress of your cultivation and the changes in the situation... I still think it's better to find a foreign minister, transfer to another place, and settle down in a place."
"Yes." Zhang Xing nodded in response. He was not opposed to this plan.
Which of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms is not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty? Who cannot be a loyal minister? I, Grand Master Dong, am the most loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
"Speaking of it." At this point, the two of them, apart from adding some weird emotions, became much calmer, and Zhang Xing also remembered something. "Isn't Chang Jian claiming to be doing something? Why do you have to go to Sanjing every day?
Read the ancient books of Langya Pavilion?"
"It's because I have cultivated so much that I naturally paid attention to something." Bai Yousi blurted out, and then suddenly looked at the stairs at his feet. He remembered something again and quickly reminded him. "You have to be careful, don't let your true energy get mixed up."
The matter was exposed..."
Zhang Xing woke up and nodded quickly.
But there was no time to say anything more. The next moment, the surrounding energy suddenly surged, and then the sound of slow kicking on the stairs below could be clearly heard... After waiting for another moment, a pale-faced man wearing a black brocade robe said that he was young.
A man who is not young, and seems to be not even middle-aged has just appeared in front of the two of them.
Bai Yousi and Zhang Xing bowed together:
"His Royal Highness King Qi."
"Shaocheng."
"I...I just came here from my father. I feel that it is my duty after all, so I just came here...as long as I don't disturb you." Jing'an Taixi Town Fusi Shaocheng, the two's theoretical immediate superior,
King Cao Ming of Qi paused for a moment before speaking politely and slowly. However, as soon as he spoke, he brought an important message that disturbed the previous relationship between the two. "It's like this. The heat has been getting stronger these days.
, the project construction has been going on day and night, and my father has not been to Daxing, the western capital, for many years to inspect the Guanzhong area, which is the foundation of the country, so my father is very restless and has just prepared to go out to inspect the west today under the advice of the eldest princess.
All... the queen mother, several concubines, and the eldest princess are all going together... You guys clean up, and I will open the door and take out the Fulong Seal for you, and prepare to go to Daxing with your majesty."
Bai Yousi responded quickly.
Zhang Xing suddenly realized that although this incident was unexpected, it was reasonable, so he quickly bowed his head and acknowledged it.
No matter what, it's always good to hide for a while.
PS: It doesn’t work... I just realized that this is not a problem of work and rest, nor a problem of staying up late... it is a problem of insomnia... Insomnia leads to the collapse of work and rest... No wonder Ji Cha always talks about impotence and insomnia as a middle-aged writer
nightmare... I started to understand one of them. I hope he can practice immortality.
