The early morning sunlight shone into the house through the carved windows. Cheng Sanwu opened his eyes with difficulty, only to feel that his originally energetic body was extremely heavy, and his limbs seemed to be filled with lead. It was difficult to even stand up.
"What the hell?" Cheng Sanwu cursed, gritting his teeth and trying hard, but he felt dizzy and a harsh noise made his head swell.
"I just drank a few glasses of wine, how come..."
Just as Cheng Sanwu was about to curse, he turned around and saw a beautiful body lying on his side, covered only by a thin and smooth silk quilt, outlining the undulating curves. Looking up, he saw the other person leaning on the embroidered pillow, with one hand supporting his cheek and the other
Her breasts are drawn up to cover her spring, and her smooth and fragrant shoulders exposed outside the silk quilt make people want to go forward and kiss her softly.
And those green eyes, red lips, and touching dimples that looked straight at him, who else could it be but Afu?
"You..." Cheng Sanwu is not an untouched boy, but he is still a little at a loss at this moment.
Afu held her cheek in her hand, gently moved the corner of her lips with her long and slender tail finger, and said coquettishly: "Damn ghost."
"Ah?!" Cheng Sanwu was shocked. He lowered his head suddenly and saw that he was naked, lying on the bed like this.
"Good brother, you're going to torture me to death." Afu's words were full of provocation.
"Wait!" Cheng Sanwu forced himself to sit up. He felt as if there were thousands of sharp knives cutting back and forth in his body. It was like being tortured by Ling Chi. The pain made him break out in cold sweat. He froze and lay down again.
"What the hell? I, you...what happened?" Cheng Sanwu asked quickly.
Afu's red lips slightly pursed, as if thinking: "Well... you probably had sex after drinking, and I couldn't resist it, so I had to do it."
Cheng Sanwu thought for a long time, with a face full of disbelief: "There is still such a thing?! I...I don't remember it at all!"
"Ah, man." Afu's pretty face turned cold, and her expression immediately turned cold: "In the end, you are just looking out for your own happiness."
After Afu finished speaking, she wrapped herself in a silk quilt and walked out of the bed. She suppressed a smile to avoid exposing her flaws to Cheng Sanwu.
Naturally, nothing happened last night. After Cheng Sanwu fell into coma, Afu and others took the opportunity to explore what was going on in his body. And when Jiang Zhen used a golden needle to illuminate his pulse and discovered that there was a second set of meridians in Cheng Sanwu's body, they were present.
Several people were greatly shocked.
The twelve main meridians in a mortal body belong to the internal organs and circulate Qi and blood. The eight extraordinary meridians are connected to the main meridians, harmonizing and accumulating them. Whether it is practicing Taoism to extend life or practicing martial arts to strengthen the body, if you want to achieve great achievements, you cannot bypass the meridians.
Especially those martial arts that emphasize internal cultivation, adopt the Taoist method of exhaling and moving Qi, practice one breath of internal breath, and circulate the meridians around the sky, so that the organs and organs are full of Qi and blood, and even if the muscles and bones are not strong, they can still emit energy.
Amazing inner strength. For a woman whose frame and muscles are naturally inferior, this can greatly make up for the gap in martial arts talent.
Av is not a human race, but she has been in the Central Plains for more than 300 years. She has extensive experience and knowledge. She has used secret methods to expand her veins and dig out her orifices. She has also made great achievements in martial arts. Even if her strength is greatly reduced due to suppressing the nature of the vampires, she can still
Find some of it elsewhere.
It's just that Afu's physical vitality is different from ordinary people, so she can hardly practice the formal internal training methods of Central Plains martial arts. Relying on years of self-exploration, as well as the martial arts classics collected in high positions in the past, she gradually summed up a set of
Unique martial arts.
"How can there be two sets of meridians in one body?" Late last night, Jiang Zhen, who had just discovered the pulse conditions in Cheng Sanwu's body, felt it was incredible. She even suspected that there was something wrong with her bronze mirror for taking pulses.
"Actually... it may not be impossible."
Afu stretched out her slender jade fingers, flowing them along Cheng Sanwu's meridians, and gently brushed them. Cheng Sanwu's whole body was touched by her almost all over.
During this period, Afu also tried to inject a ray of Yin Qi through the acupoints, but the Qi movement in the three and five meridians was like a turbulent current. Pressing the acupoints to measure the Qi was like a glass of water falling into the sea, drowning in an instant, let alone the guidance of external forces.
"Taoism believes that the human body is formed by the combination of yin and yang, the descending qi, and the combination of the two phenomena. However, the acquired grains, food, sounds, and colors cause the qi to become impure, the internal organs to accumulate, and ultimately the form and spirit are not solid, and the dead energy enters the orifices."
Afu said:
"Therefore, some Taoist sages pioneered the method of internally refining the innate Yuan Fei, which is like giving birth to another body in the body, and finally reborn and transformed into the true form. When the Yuan Fei is hidden inside, it seems that there are two sets of internal organs and meridians, and the vitality and breath are doubled.
For ordinary people, life span can also be greatly extended."
Jiang Zhen was dubious about the Taoist cultivating immortals, but when he heard Afu say this, he was greatly inspired, and then asked: "Is it possible that Cheng Sanwu is a Taoist master? But he..."
"It doesn't look like it at all, right?" Afu also laughed: "I don't think it looks like it either. Regardless of Taoism or Buddhism, there are many profound sects, and there are many taboos in practicing. Just not drinking or eating meat, Cheng Sanwu
It is completely broken. And I just guessed that I have not seen many Taoist masters who can cultivate the innate Yuan Fei, and the specific pulse conditions in the body may not be comparable to Cheng Sanwu at this moment."
Qin Wangshu and Jiang Zhen both know Afu's Yaksha clan origins and know that she is well-informed. Even she cannot be sure of things, so they can deduce how strange Cheng Sanwu is.
Afu actually has her own plan to bring Cheng Sanwu into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but before that, the first thing is to find out the secret of Cheng Sanwu.
Compared to torture to extract confessions, Afu prefers to investigate in person to avoid being deceived by the other party's words.
"What does the second set of meridians mean?" Qin Wangshu was confused.
Afu held her chin and smiled and said: "To use an inappropriate metaphor, that is having two lives."
Jiang Zhen explained seriously: "The two sets of meridians indicate that this person has stronger qi and blood and stronger physical vitality. Even if the muscles, bones and organs are injured, they can heal faster... Sister Fu, Cheng Sanwu's
How fast is the recovery from the injury?”
"When he was in the Western Region, he was bitten off a small piece of neck meat by a pack of wolves. It healed as before after a while." Afu frowned slightly: "But this recovery was too fast. Do the two sets of meridians really have such extraordinary power?"
Jiang Zhen held up the pulse mirror: "I found that these two sets of meridians are intertwined with each other. If they carry Qi and blood at the same time, the benefits to the body will not be cumulative, but multiplied!"
"It seems I'm still looking down on you." Afu was slightly startled.
"Then his martial arts cultivation will also benefit from the two sets of meridians?" Qin Wangshu tried not to look at Cheng Sanwu's muscular body.
"Of course!" Jiang Zhen tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and focused on the pulse mirror in front of her: "Such a person, not to mention luck and breath control, has greater muscle and bone strength than ordinary people and can run faster.
, jump higher, and hold your breath underwater for longer, this... this is exactly the body that martial arts practitioners dream of!"
"It seems that such a person should not be unknown." Qin Wangshu said.
Afu crossed her arms across her chest and held up two balls of snow: "Cheng Sanwu is somewhat famous in the Western Region. Other trading companies call him 'Baochang Fierce Sword'... What kind of country name are these?
"
"Wang Shu is right." Jiang Zhen raised his eyes and looked at the sleepy man on the couch: "Cheng Sanwu has such a natural talent. As long as he is trained a little and even given a few high-level martial arts books, he is destined to be one of the best in the world.
A master. But he is working as a thug in a Western Region trading company. With such an opportunity, he is nothing short of a hidden gem in the ocean."
"His past was a bit special. He fled to the Western Region." Afu did not say it clearly in front of the two of them, but just smiled faintly: "And there are many talents who have been buried these days, and not everyone with outstanding talents has the opportunity to practice.
Excellent martial arts."
"Does the Commander-in-Chief Fu plan to take Cheng Sanwu as his own?" Qin Wangshu was slightly uneasy.
Afu smiled and asked: "Aren't you happy?"
"I don't dare because of my humble position." Qin Wangshu lowered his head to answer, but he happened to catch a glimpse of Cheng Sanwu's upright body. He felt deeply disgusted and quickly closed his eyes.
"I say I don't dare, but actually I'm still not happy." Afu sighed: "I may need Cheng Sanwu to help me with some things in the future, but now... I might as well let him taste the sweetness."
Qin Wangshu nodded slightly and did not dare to say anything. Jiang Zhen said, "But Cheng Sanwu seems to be interested in Sister Fu..."
Afu couldn't help but smile bitterly as she watched Cheng Sanwu's snores getting louder. For the first time, she had doubts about her own charm. When she was active in the Southern Dynasties, she once pretended to be a Taoist altar to offer wine, which made the children of the aristocratic families lose their minds and sacrificed herself.
She was like a female fairy. It was a pity that the Taoist Immortal Rebellion broke out in the land of Wuyue. During this period, her identity as a vampire was revealed. If she hadn't run fast, she would have been almost burned by the thunder and fire of the authentic Taoism.
"This Cheng Sanwu, they say he is greedy, but he can hold it back." Afu had no choice but to let the others leave and wait for Cheng Sanwu to wake up alone.
…
"This... there's no reason." Cheng Sanwu rested for a while, then felt the pain in his body subsided slightly. He forced himself to sit up and asked quickly: "We... really did that?"
"Are you trying to deny the credit?" Afu turned around, her eyes cold and full of disappointment.
"It's not - I, you..." Cheng Sanwu was incoherent for a moment, sitting on the bed and scratching his forehead, as if talking to himself: "I remember just drinking a few glasses of wine, and my head felt heavy. You seemed to be saying
What, and then everything went dark..."
"Okay, you don't need to say anything." Afu interrupted Cheng Sanwu, leaned down to pick up the clothes on the ground, and said in a cold tone: "I am not a chaste and martyr woman, and you are not a modest gentleman, just treat it as a member of the world.
We are just acquaintances. But if you dare to brag to the outside world, I guarantee that I will pull out your tongue as written in the Buddhist scriptures, pour molten iron into your throat, and torture you to death!"
Cheng Sanwu shook his head in panic and waved his hands: "Don't tell me, don't tell me, I promise not to tell anyone!"
Afu snorted coldly, turned around and left, pursed her lips and went downstairs. Cheng Sanwu sat on the edge of the bed, dazed in place for a while. Then he saw Jiang Zhen leading several maids up, smiling to the left and right and saying: "
Change clothes for Cheng Lang."
"No, no, I can do it myself!"
Cheng Sanwu quickly picked up the clothes on the ground to cover himself, as if Jiang Zhen was no longer the charming Nanqu Courtesan at this moment, but a ferocious demon staring at his prey, and even the entire Tianxiang Pavilion had turned into a demon lair.
, making people unable to stay any longer.
After trying to persuade them to leave, Cheng Sanwu got dressed alone and carefully went downstairs. He happened to see Afu sitting in front of the dressing table in a thin shirt. Jiangzhen was combing her hair, while Qin Wangshu was standing by the wall.
Stand with your arms crossed.
The three women suddenly looked at him, staring at him, causing Cheng Sanwu's face to stiffen. He did not dare to answer the question and said goodbye. He just clasped his fists and said goodbye, leaving the third floor Zhulou as if he was running for his life.
I fled to the front of the courtyard in one breath, and a boy brought a big maroon horse. The horse's hair was smooth and clean. It had obviously been carefully brushed last night. Tianxiang Pavilion was very considerate in entertaining guests.
"You feel more comfortable."
Cheng Sanwu looked at the energetic maroon horse and cursed in a low voice. He couldn't help but yawn, and various parts of his body were still sore and numb. Even though he had traveled long distances in the Western Regions to pursue the enemy, he had no time to lie down for days and nights.
Even though I had a rest, I had never felt this strange fatigue.
The big red horse was very humane and let out a few snorts that were slightly mocking. Cheng Sanwu pushed its head away and said angrily: "Are you laughing at me too? The dominatrix looked so confident that she almost
They arrested me and took me to the official, but I didn’t enjoy anything! Last night I dreamed of a bunch of monsters and monsters, and I was fighting with them endlessly. Every part of my body still hurts!"
Cheng Sanwu flexed his muscles and bones, but found that he was still a little unable to stretch. The big bay-red horse purred softly and kept pawing its hooves. If it were humanoid, it would definitely be laughing at the moment.
Cheng Sanwu pressed his temples, which were still aching, and cursed in a low voice: "I'm stupid too. How can the dominatrix be so kind? Could it be that I was tricked by her?"
When the soreness, numbness and pain in her body gradually disappeared, Afu was also fully dressed, and Jiang Zhen personally sent her out.
"You really don't understand the rules. Miss Jiangzhen treated you so carefully. Why don't you leave some reward as a souvenir and just go on your own?" Afu took Miss Jiangzhen's arm and came to the courtyard gate.
"You didn't tell me beforehand." Cheng Sanwu looked confused, groping everywhere on his body with a look of shame on his face: "I...have nothing to reward you."
Cheng Sanwu had some money, but the banquet last night, even with Cheng Sanwu's knowledge, he could understand that it could not be purchased with money alone. If Afu hadn't treated him, he would probably have even Tianxiang.
Even the door of the pavilion cannot be entered.
"Sister Fu was joking." Jiang Zhen smiled sweetly, making people feel like spring breeze: "Mr. Cheng is a sweet-tempered person, and I admire him very much. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would like to invite Mr. Cheng to visit more often."
After saying this, Jiang Zhen took out a red lacquer mud gold wooden plaque with the words Tianxiang Pavilion written on it and handed it to Cheng Sanwu: "This is the Traveling Immortal Order. If Cheng Lang intends to come to Tianxiang Pavilion again in the future, he only needs to send someone to deliver it. Jiang Zhen
I will arrange an auspicious day and prepare plenty of delicious food and wine to welcome the distinguished guests. If you want to invite Jiang Zhen out to play, you can also use this immortal order."
"Thank you so much, Miss Jiangzhen." Cheng Sanwu felt that the wooden sign was a bit hot to touch, so he tried his best to ignore the fragrance and accepted it as if nothing had happened.
"Looking at the whole of Chang'an, there are only a handful of people who can get the Immortal Travel Order from Miss Jiangzhen. Don't embarrass others." Afu's tone was unpredictable. Cheng Sanwu didn't dare to answer the words and just smiled bitterly.
To respond.
Afu and Jiangzhen said goodbye, saying a few words of respect like sisters, and then went out to mount their horses.
"Cheng Sanwu." The group had just walked a short distance when Afu suddenly spoke.
"Ah, what's wrong?" Cheng Sanwu led his horse on foot, his energy seemed to be low and he didn't react.
"Don't think too much about some things." Afu said indifferently: "Don't think that just because we have a romantic relationship, you can have a place by my side. I am not that kind of ignorant woman, and neither is Jiang Zhen."
After saying this, Afu left the confused Cheng Sanwu behind and immediately rode away. Qin Wangshu followed closely. It wasn't until she left Pingkangfang Gate that she quietly asked: "Isn't the envoy Fu?"
Do you want to take Cheng Sanwu as your own? Why..."
"Why not take advantage of the victory and take him down completely?" Afu finished the sentence that Qin Wangshu dared not say frankly, and smiled faintly: "Man, if you really let him benefit, you will take it for granted and not cherish it. The only way is to take him away.
His appetite was whetted, making him feel like he couldn't get what he wanted, and his heart was itchy, so he could use it as he pleased in the future. There are many opportunities in the future, so he is not in a hurry now."
