[Side skills: Wind Breaking Hand (reaching the pinnacle), Greed of Light (first practice for beginners)]
[Rule: Immortality (expends 10,000 spiritual sources to activate)]
【Lingyuan:16】
A being who was on the verge of a breakthrough in the meridians actually provided a full 16 points of spiritual source!
These 16 spiritual points allow the plus sign after Baoyang Gong to appear again.
"Just three days after I came out is equivalent to three months in the institute. If there are assassins behind me... tsk tsk, Old Man Jiang is simply my lucky star."
Xu Chong sighed happily.
He decided to save his spiritual source and not use it for the time being.
After all, breaking through the Tongmai will be restricted by the barrier of knowledge and vision. It would be bad if because of this, the existence of the panel is forgotten.
Besides, with Jiang Zhihong's thick legs, it doesn't matter whether he is promoted or not.
Xu Chong was stunned for a moment when he walked out from behind the boulder.
Jiang Zhihong actually ran to a small slope dozens of feet away...
"Why go so far?"
Xu Chong stepped closer and said, "How can you be a good parent official if you can't see such dirty things?"
"Don't preach."
Jiang Zhihong was lying on the slope, resting his head on his hands, "It's not that I've never seen filth before, but I've never seen someone as dirty as you. To trade your tongue for your life... you can't imagine that."
"Ahem, verbal stimulation is also one of the methods of torture. Do you still take it seriously?"
Xu Chong touched his nose and sat down, "He is from the Shen family, the Shen family of Fengyang Prefecture."
"It's indeed them."
Jiang Zhihong was not surprised, "Back then, the old lady of the Shen family was appointed as the Minister of Rites. She was expected to join the cabinet, but I was rejected."
"What did he do?"
Xu Chong asked curiously.
"Having an affair with the late emperor's concubine."
Jiang Zhihong made a shocking revelation.
"???"
Xu Chong was stunned, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and asked: "Is that what it says in your notebook?"
This is a royal scandal. Even if there is such a thing, you can't use this as an excuse to get involved, right?
However, Jiang Zhihong nodded: "No other evidence was found."
"--hiss!"
Xu Chong took a breath, "Your biggest enemy...couldn't it be the late emperor?"
"That's the late emperor."
Jiang Zhihong chuckled, "So, I have no hope of joining the cabinet in my life, even when I get to Yongtai."
Why do you feel so proud...
Xu Chong curled his lips and asked curiously: "How come the Shen family has not been implicated in the nine clans?"
"My notebook has been suppressed and not many people know about it."
Jiang Zhihong sighed, "Not to mention the nine implicated clans, even old lady Shen lived to the end of his life."
It seems that there is some kind of exchange of interests again.
Xu Chong twitched his lips and looked solemn: "I have disposed of the assassin's body, but I can't guarantee how long it can be hidden. If there are assassins behind, they are probably stronger than you... Is there any way to deal with it?"
"Do you think I'm like a big cabbage at this level? I can just grab a handful of it?"
Jiang Zhihong glanced at Xu Chong, "At this level, they are the leaders of all forces, and they will not easily put themselves in danger... If I am not wrong, the Shen family will know the news soon, and then
There won't be any assassins coming down."
"That's good."
Xu Chong said disappointedly.
Just like that, the two of them stopped talking and looked at the sky.
Early the next morning, the carriage set off again.
Sure enough, as Jiang Zhihong said, until arriving at the boundary of Dingtian Mansion, a full month and a half passed, and there was no more assassination.
It's really a pity.
The only good thing is that when we reach the boundary of Dingtian Mansion, the official road is several times wider and its smoothness is also greatly improved.
Although there were more pedestrians, cars and horses, the two of them were moving much faster.
After another three days of this, we finally arrived in the capital.
"..."
Xu Chong drove the carriage and looked at the scene not far away, not knowing how to describe his mood.
Is it definitely a city?
The height of the city wall alone is probably nearly a hundred meters, right?!
He had seen many hundreds of meters high buildings in his previous life, but this was a wall...
With such a high level of cultivation, there are giants outside the city or what?
"How is it? Isn't it shocking?"
Jiang Zhihong came out of the carriage at some point and sat next to Xu Chong, "When I first came to the capital, I was too scared to go in."
"Is there any explanation here?"
Xu Chong calmed down and asked.
"have no idea."
Jiang Zhihong shook his head, "It was like this a long time ago, and throughout the history books, there is no mention of the capital being attacked."
The city walls are so high, only a fool attacks them...
Xu Chong complained, turned to look at Jiang Zhihong, "Old man, thank you."
"Thank you for what?"
Jiang Zhihong raised his eyebrows.
"Don't pretend."
Xu Chong turned around and said, "It doesn't mean anything to you to let me go this way, but to me, it will probably save my life in the future."
"cut."
Jiang Zhihong sneered, "If you associate with a traitor in the future, it's up to you to see if I get involved."
Xu Chong moved his body a little further.
It's not that he doesn't want to respond, nor is he disgusted by just one sentence.
But the energy in his body suddenly became active uncontrollably!
From the gurgling gurgling to the stormy sea.
Although he was not afraid of being noticed because of the naked clothes, he was still frightened.
Is it a problem with the city wall?
Xu Chong glanced forward.
If nothing else, this change is related to the distance between him and the city wall!
The closer you get, the more turbulent it gets!
Jiang Zhihong didn't notice anything strange about Xu Chong. He raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Go there."
Xu Chong barely managed to calm down and look.
A beautiful woman wearing a goose-yellow dress stood at the connection between the official road and the giant square outside the city, waving in this direction.
He came to the capital for the first time and didn't know anyone, so it was obvious that this woman was here to pick up Jiang Zhihong.
It’s good that you don’t have to go into town…
Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief and drove his carriage closer.
"This junior has met Mr. Jiang."
The woman bowed slightly.
"Where's the red guy? He's not here?"
Jiang Zhihong looked left and right.
"My master has something to do and I can't come over. I'm sorry for Mr. Jiang."
The woman cupped her fists and apologized.
"Okay."
Jiang Zhihong got off the carriage and looked back at Xu Chong: "Xu Xiaoyou, I'll say goodbye to you now. We'll meet again if we are destined."
"Lao Jiang takes care of it."
Xu Chong got out of the car, cupped his fists and saluted.
The woman looked at Xu Chong curiously and led Jiang Zhihong towards the city gate.
At this point, the task is finally completed.
Xu Chong did not dare to wait any longer, so he got on the carriage, turned around and drove away.
He didn't notice at all that there was a white jade-like mirror hanging on the top of the 100-meter-high city.
Moreover, it was clear that there was no one around at the city gate, but in the mirror, he alone was reflected, Xu Chong.
…
…
Half a day later.
A thin old man dressed in black stood on the official road and stopped Xu Chong's carriage.
Many pedestrians, carriages and horses stopped and looked here.
"Why is this old gentleman blocking my way?"
Xu Chong asked warily.
"You know, many people will be unhappy if Mr. Jiang stubbornly returns to Beijing."
The old man said with a smile.
"... This junior is just following orders and has no intention of going against anyone."
Xu Chong said calmly, feeling numb in his heart.
His plan was to wait for it to get dark and avoid being seen by anyone, then abandon the car and drive away.
After all, Jiang Zhihong had offended too many people, and those people had nothing to do with Jiang Zhihong, so they could not avoid taking their anger out on him.
Changing his body and returning to Zhang Hua is the safest course of action.
But he never expected that someone would come to his door so soon.
"Don't talk too much. I will only strike with one palm. If you don't die, you will be lucky."
The old man waved his hand impatiently.
"Senior, you are joking... I am only at the ninth level of enlightenment, how can I catch your palm?"
Xu Chong showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "There are so many people here, seniors shouldn't be so unwise, right?"
There was no other way. According to the law of getting stronger as he got older, he doubted that he might be able to take the opponent's blow even if he used all his cards, so he could only use words to pressure him.
"I won't bully you, just use my palm to open up the meridians."
The old man took a step forward, appeared in front of Xu Chong as if he had shrunk to an inch, and dropped a palm.
"!!!"
Xu Chong's pupils shrank suddenly, but he was not panicked.
He could feel the strong wind brought by this palm.
As the old man said, it can only reach the first level of opening the meridians.
In this case...
Xu Chong let go of the reins and faced him with one hand.
In this palm, he only used the power of the ninth level of Kaiqiao, plus the 40% increase of Zhefeng Shou.
It is enough to power most of the first level of Tongmai.
Not only that, he also suppressed other forces in his body and prepared to suffer some minor injuries.
pity.
Hit the air.
As if teasing him, the old man easily stopped his hand, turned around...and got into the carriage.
"..."
Xu Chong looked confused.
"My good disciple, come in and talk."
The old man's joking voice came out.
Good disciple?
Xu Chong was stunned for a moment before reacting suddenly.
In terms of master and disciple, only Wang Hezhi can be regarded as his master, but scholars are called teacher and student, not master or apprentice.
Excluding Wang Hezhi, there is only one possibility of calling him his disciple.
The commander-in-chief of the Blood-Shirt Guards and the number one master in Daqing—Dou Tianyuan!
Xu Chong opened the curtain, clasped his fists and bowed: "Zhang Hua Qianhu Office, Xiaoqi Xu Chong, I have met the commander-in-chief."
"General Commander?"
Dou Tianyuan crossed his legs and was a little dissatisfied: "Why, I'm not worthy of being your master?"
"My subordinates dare not."
Xu Chong still held his fists and said: "It's just that my subordinates have heard about the commander-in-chief's conditions for accepting disciples, and they think they are far from enough, so they don't dare to call themselves disciples."
"You can fool others, but you can't fool me."
Dou Tianyuan chuckled, "Why do you think I tried your hand just now? Tell me, how far have you practiced Zhe Feng Hand?"
That slap just now?
Only then did Xu Chong come to his senses and said helplessly: "A 40% increase."
"..."
Dou Tianyuan was speechless.
He was sure that Xu Chong's wind-breaking hand would definitely increase by more than 40%.
The answer is 40% simply because 40% was exposed, nothing more.
This kid...why does he look so much like Lou Heizi?
Shaking his head, Dou Tianyuan did not ask further and said: "I won't force you to join my disciple now, but you must not slack off in the training of Zhe Feng Shou, you know?"
"My subordinate understands."
Xu Chong responded in a deep voice.
"...You know shit."
Dou Tianyuan cursed in anger.
He knew at a glance that Xu Chong didn't take it to heart.
After thinking about it, Dou Tianyuan decided to change his approach.
"Zhefeng Shou's secret weapon is called Star Reaching."
Dou Tianyuan stretched out his hand, and when he pulled it back, there was already an extra leaf, "This leaf grows on a tree a hundred feet away, and I only used the strength of the first level of Tongmai."
"..."
Xu Chong looked at the leaf blankly.
If you pick up leaves from 300 meters away... then there's nothing wrong with picking up the money bag from 100 meters away, right?
Zhe Feng uses his skills to reach for the stars and steal money...
Horse riding.
Is this really how Dou Tianyuan started his career?
