Chapter 23 Chongxuan Administration in a Stormy Night
On the seventh day after Lao Ma left the Hou Mansion, Zhi Kaizhen's injuries had fully recovered, the scabs on the wounds had fallen off, and his skin was as crystal clear as jade, without leaving a single trace.
In the evening, dark clouds gathered, and soon it began to rain heavily. The sky and the earth were covered in darkness, and the roof tiles rattled like the hooves of thousands of horses.
Zhi Shou Zhen sat cross-legged in front of the window, and the forbidden method of Xuji Nailed Soul passed through the seventy-two days. Dozens of stars flickered in the sea of consciousness, slowly turning in mysterious trajectories. After entering the Hou Mansion for a month, he saw countless rare treasures.
With the help of the medicine, his essence, energy, spirit, and body were continuously purified. The three-killing machine sword energy was condensed to the limit, and he had to suppress it with all his strength. As long as he realized the state of being alone, he could successfully break through and achieve Qi refining.
Return God.
His swordsmanship also improved greatly. No matter how profound and obscure the swordsmanship was, he could understand it at a glance and master it immediately. In actual combat, he was full of enthusiasm and had no hindrance. He began to learn from the strengths of various swordsmanship schools and combined them with the three-killer machine.
Combining swords and Qi, he tried new changes. He was always wary of this supreme sword code originated from Wang Ziqiao.
The one that has made the most rapid progress is the Xuji Nailed Soul Forbidden Technique. Thirty-six stars in the starry sky night scene screen have been thrown into the sea of consciousness, forming a miniature galaxy, constantly pushing the Xuji Nailed Soul Forbidden Technique to break through the limit. Zhihunting
The real sea of consciousness also benefited from this, and subtle changes occurred, and even the eight-winged golden cicada became more and more agile.
There was a soft "pop" sound, the crystal hourglass on the table turned upside down, and the fine silver sand flowed down. It was the third watch.
Zhikarizhen stood up and looked out the window. The night rain was as fierce as a whip, the water on the eaves was like a waterfall, and the sound of heavy rain drums echoed between heaven and earth.
Zakari took off his outer robe, revealing a hooded night lizard silk garment underneath. This precious fabric is light and thin, close to the body, not only indestructible to water and fire, but also able to adapt to the surrounding light.
Changes color and blends into the environment.
Putting on Qingyun boots, equipped with a cut jade sword, and re-checking the autographed letter wrapped in fish skin, Zhi Qingzhen quietly walked out of Tingzhu Pavilion. The wet rain vapor rushed towards him, and countless white arrows were stirred on the pool.
, the courtyards and pavilions far and near were hidden in the mist and rain, and they were so vast that their outlines were difficult to distinguish.
He sneaked under the thick shade of trees, bypassing the guards, and then speeded up his sweep until he was out of the Marquis' Mansion.
The street was shrouded in a huge curtain of rain, empty and deserted. Zhikarizhen pulled up his hood, exposing only his eyes, jumped up to the roof, walked up and down all the way, and headed straight to Chongxuan Office on the outskirts of the city.
Raindrops dripped down his Night Lizard Silk Clothes. The cloth was not stained by water and was as dry as ever. After leaving the market, the eight-winged golden cicada in his consciousness suddenly whispered a warning. Zhi Shou was really frightened and pretended to
Unaware, he continued to run at full speed. When he passed a green island by the Xuanwu Lake, he suddenly accelerated and rushed into the woods. At the same time, the sea of consciousness converged inward, and the spiritual waves disappeared into the depths, shrinking and closing, like the water of a fountain.
I retreated back to the spring and disappeared silently.
This is the secret skill of the sea of consciousness that Zhi Shouzhen found from the Wenyuan Pavilion book. It is called "Shensuo Jue" and is divided into four parts: hidden lock, phantom lock, padlock and unlocking. They are all ingenious methods of using mental power. At this moment
He used the method of hiding and locking to isolate the release of his spiritual power, making it impossible for foreign enemies to spy on his movements.
A vague black shadow loomed in the distance, sneaking into the dense forest, suddenly stopped, and his eyes hidden in the shadow of the bamboo hat glanced, and a trace of suspicion flashed.
The wind and rain shook the branches all around, and the white mist filled the air. It seemed that Zhi Qi was nowhere to be found. Even if he used his spiritual consciousness, it was difficult to detect the young man's mental fluctuations. The black shadow stood silently for a while, and then his figure flashed,
Disappear.
After a while, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the dense forest, and the mental power suddenly spread out like a big net, covering most of the Xuanwu Lake. After observing silently for a while, the black shadow went straight through the forest and chased away.
After half a minute of pouring the incense, Zhikarizhen popped his head out of the crown of an old tree, glanced at the direction in which the black shadow was leaving, jumped off the tree, and walked around from another place.
The Chongxuan Office is located on the Cuiluo Peak of Baishi Mountain in the north of the city, with flying pavilions and flowing pills, jade inlays and carved lanterns, surrounded by pines and bamboos, with its back against the Yangtze River. There are a total of ten Taoist temples, and each of the ten Taoist gates of the Jin Dynasty sent people to sit in charge to show off the majesty of the Taoist gates.
There is a formal official office built on the top of the peak, with one magistrate and one hundred deacons. On the surface, they are in charge of Taoist temples and accounts in Kyoto, as well as feast matters. They secretly supervise the political affairs of the court and monitor the trends of the royal family.
Ziyun Temple is located at the east end of Cuiluo Peak and belongs to Taishang Shenxiao Sect. The owner of the temple, Yuan Jingbo, lay lazily on the warm jade couch with his chest open and he grabbed a handful of gray-white flowers from the golden dendrobium beside him.
He squinted at the pearl and asked, "Is this sent by the Yongning Marquis Mansion today?"
"Well, they were sent by Wang Yifu himself." A beautiful female crown knelt in front of Yuan Jingbo's knees and moved her fingers to loosen his bones. "These pearls are not of good quality, they are small, and they are too shabby.
A little bit."
"What do you know? These are liquid tea beads, produced at the bottom of Xingxiu in the far west of Dayan. Brewing tea and drinking it can nourish the essence and repair the foundation. One pearl is worth at least a thousand gold, not to mention a dendrobium? This is a big deal!"
Uncle Jing let go of his hand, and the pearls rolled down the couch in confusion. "What a pity, Yongning Marquis Mansion is destined to be a bamboo basket to fetch water - all in vain." Yuan Jingbo laughed, dragged the female crown into his arms, and raised and lowered his hands.
After decades of cultivating Taoism, there has been no progress at all. So far, I am stuck at the high level of refining qi and restoring the spirit. I simply indulge in sex and enjoy myself. The Taoist officials of Chongxuan Department are mostly like this. They have no hope of success in the mountain gate, so they are sent to the world of mortals.
.It is called experience, but in fact it was abandoned by the Taoist sect and left to fend for itself.
"Why? They are all from the Yuan family... I understand, it's what your second brother Yuan Jingzhong means, ah!" Nu Guan's eyes are as charming as silk, and she twists like a snake.
"Who is my second brother? If I hadn't been squeezed out by him back then, I would have been the head of the house, so why would I have left Boling?" Yuan Jingbo pinched Nu Guan's snow-white plump thighs hard and hummed.
, "It means the patriarch."
The female crown gasped, and Yuan Jingbo realized that he had made a mistake, so he said no more, lifted up his Taoist robe and reached for his sword and shoes.
