Late at night, Yangguan Village, Wanshou Pavilion.
The five chamberlains stood in a row and received Chang Decai's first instruction.
Chang Decai did not rush to teach the method of cultivation, but let everyone demonstrate their own cultivation.
He took five branches and handed them to five people respectively: "You are at least seventh grade in cultivation. You should be able to talk and laugh and peel the bark. You should peel the bark of this tree cleanly and let me have a look."
The five servants did not dare to neglect, and each used their own methods. In a short time, the dry bark was peeled off.
Chang Decai glanced over and directly saw the depth of everyone's cultivation.
Although Qin Yan has the highest level of cultivation, he learned from the experience of his predecessors, and there are many things wrong in the experience of his predecessors.
Taking Tanxiao Peeling as an example, Qin Yan's movement range is extremely large, and his Qi movement is very violent. Before peeling off the skin, he is easily noticed by the opponent. After peeling off, the Qi movement cannot be withdrawn, and the next move cannot be executed.
Similarly, there are Zhao Jindong and Liu Yupeng, whose skills are even more crude. These two brothers bought the practice method from a fugitive from Daxuan. Not to mention whether the fugitive told the truth, even if he told the truth.
, it is inevitable that there will be errors and omissions.
But Li Quangen is a special case. He discovered the secret scroll of eunuch cultivation from the palace. This ancient scroll describes the serious cultivation method. Li Quangen used it to master the correct cultivation method. Although he was a sixth-grade cultivation, he was not a Taoist disciple.
The foundation is much more solid than that of Qin Yan.
Yue Liusheng was obviously influenced by Li Quangen and had a solid foundation in Taoism. However, the secret manuals he bought had too many mistakes and omissions, so that when he came back, he learned a lot of wild ways and the bark of the tree was peeled off. It would be better if he gave more advice.
It can be corrected.
On the first day, Chang Decai first taught them the basics of Qi movement.
Although eunuchs cultivate internal qi and never leak qi, they are also very particular about the use of qi.
Chang Decai taught seriously, and these people studied carefully. In the blink of an eye, two hours passed, and everyone benefited a lot.
Chang Decai had previously promised to open a small kitchen for Li Quangen, so Chang Decai would naturally not break his promise. Seeing that Li Quangen had a solid foundation, he taught him some excellent methods of using Qi alone.
Li Quangen was very measured, knew how to advance and retreat, learned how to use Qi, and practiced repeatedly, without bothering Chang Decai to teach him new skills.
Chang Decai saw that he was a steady man and gave him a task.
"Do you want to make more achievements?"
Li Quangen quickly saluted and said: "Senior, since I don't dislike you, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Do you dare to recruit more disciples in the palace?"
Li Quangen blinked his eyes and said nothing for a while.
If it had been someone else, he would have agreed immediately, but Li Quangen was far more cautious than others and hesitated for a while before saying: "Normally, the Lord of Gods keeps a close eye on him, so it's really hard to take action lightly when it comes to recruiting disciples."
Chang Decai smiled. No wonder this guy used the right method, but he only reached the sixth level of cultivation. His temperament is too old.
"Tell them this. No matter who accepts a disciple, he will get a share of merit, but you have to keep an eye on these disciples. If you think there is anything wrong, tell me immediately and I will eradicate him.
Your contribution is indispensable."
Li Quangen said yes repeatedly.
When it was almost dawn, Chang De agreed to meet again in three days and left immediately. The five chamberlains also hurried back to the Shenjun Hall.
On the way, Zhao Jindong shamelessly stepped forward and asked, "Li Zhangyin, what did your senior teach you? At least you can tell us a few words."
Li Quangen smiled and said: "It's just some tips on using Qi, it's not a big deal."
Liu Yupeng snorted and said, "That's what Li Zhangyin got in exchange for his hard work. Senior specially opened a small stove for Li Zhangyin. How can we eat it ready-made?"
Li Quangen sighed: "To say that this contribution is indispensable to you, it depends on whether you have the courage."
"how do I say this?"
"Senior said that as long as you dare to accept disciples, you will have achieved merit. The more disciples you accept, the greater the merit will be!"
Zhao Jindong's eyes lit up: "Isn't this easy?"
Liu Yupeng nodded: "Just find a few trustworthy monkey cubs and teach them two tricks."
Qin Yan frowned: "Let me tell you, you have to be extra careful in this matter. If you make a mistake and choose the wrong person, we will suffer a big loss!"
Zhao Jindong smiled and said: "Don't worry, our eyes are quite effective after serving in the palace for many years. If you want to talk about world affairs, we can't understand it. If you want to recognize people, these eyes can definitely see clearly."
Back at the Divine Lord Hall, Zhao Jindong and Liu Yupeng accepted a disciple that night.
Li Quangen was unmoved, he just devoted himself to practice and taught Yue Liusheng.
Qin Yan was thinking seriously, always feeling that this senior was a little reckless in doing things.
His worries were not unnecessary. Jiang Shengqun, the Shenji General of the Shenji Department, had been staring at Qin Yan. One of his lieutenants told Jiang Shengqun that he saw Qin Yan leaving the palace last night.
What is this guy doing out of the palace in the middle of the night?
The captain said: "General, he walked too fast. My subordinates followed him out of a street and lost him."
This captain has a seventh-level cultivation of killing, and his steps are much faster than ordinary people.
He lost track of her just a block away. How fast must Qin Yan's steps be?
This guy has some cultivation, so he is absolutely right.
Capture him and torture him?
This is a last resort, and it won't be too late to use it when nothing else can be done.
Qin Yan really has other contacts outside of the Divine Lord's Palace. It would be best to catch both groups of people inside and outside.
…
In Prince Shu's Mansion, Deng Anruo, Yin of Shenlin Mansion, was kneeling on the ground, his forehead covered in blood.
"Your Majesty, the whole city is being searched by Shenlin Mansion. There really are no beggars left in the city!"
Hong Zhenji smiled and said: "Yin Deng, please speak slowly and don't be impatient. You said there are no beggars in the city, but I see there are no beggars in the charity hall. Where have all the beggars gone?"
Deng Anruo said: "The king of God loves his people like his own children. There are no beggars in the capital of God!"
Hong Zhenji coughed. He really couldn't refute this, but it didn't mean that Deng Anruo could pass the test.
Seeing this, Deng Anruo kowtowed and said: "Occasionally, there are some hopeless lazy people left, who are expelled outside the city by their subordinates."
"Seriously?"
"really!"
Hong Zhenji's face sank, he stepped forward and kicked Deng Anruo in the face: "Fart, you think I'm blind? Yesterday I went out and saw a beggar wandering on the street."
"There are only a few people left, and it's just a matter of negligence on the part of my subordinates."
"Are you negligent for a moment? I saw this with my own eyes. How many more did I not see?"
Deng Anruo kowtowed, bowed, and begged for mercy, but he did not talk about the fact that he was arrested and sent to the shrine.
This is his experience after serving as an official for many years. Once the matter of Shantang is mentioned, this black gauze hat will definitely be lost.
Hong Zhenji actually knew something, Shenji Division had already found out some information.
It was the Xuan people who let the beggars go, and it was the Xuan people who threw the Yin and officials of the Shenlin Palace into the charity hall.
Various ministries have lost a lot of things recently, all of which are valuable. Although the ministers of various ministries do not admit it, the Shenji Division has received the news.
This kind of unheard-of thing was probably done by Xuan Ren.
Who could be such an arrogant preacher?
Hong Zhenji knew without guessing that it must be Xu Zhiqiong.
He kicked Deng Anruo over and told him to go back to the Yamen and wait for his punishment.
That night, Hong Zhenji wrote a memorial and ordered it to be sent to the Shenjun Hall.
Early the next morning, the Divine Lord Hong Juncheng called Hong Zhenji to the Xuanji Pavilion.
The Xuanji Pavilion is equivalent to the Secret Pavilion of the Daxuan Palace, but in terms of confidentiality capabilities, it is several levels higher than the Secret Pavilion.
Hong Zhenji arrived in the courtyard first, straightened his clothes and entered the front pavilion.
In the front cabinet, two chamberlains came to search and make sure there was nothing suspicious before entering the middle cabinet.
When you get to the middle pavilion, wait for the divine king to call you, then enter the back pavilion.
In front of the back pavilion door, Hong Zhenji kowtowed first, and then walked on his knees until he came to the divine king.
This is the "ancient ritual" just implemented by the Lord God, and he walks in nine steps.
Hong Zhenji had practiced this seriously. After kneeling for nine steps, he reached a position about one foot away from the god and bowed again. This ceremony was considered complete.
Hong Juncheng ordered to stand up, and Hong Zhenji stood up carefully.
After a moment of silence, Hong Juncheng picked up the memorial handed over by Hong Zhenji and said: "Junxian (Hong Zhenji's cousin), why are you so eager to get rid of Xu Zhiqiong?"
Hong Zhenji said: "Xu Zhiqiong deserves to die for two reasons.
First, Xu Zhiqiong was sowing discord between the two countries, and with him standing in the way, it would be difficult for the Shenjun and the Daxuan King to achieve great things.
Secondly, Xu Zhiqiong is causing trouble in the capital of the gods, and keeping him alive for one more day would only lead to disaster."
Hong Juncheng frowned and said, "There is no evidence for what you said in the memorial."
"Every official in the divine capital was humiliated by Xu Zhiqiong and feared the power of the divine king, so they did not dare to speak out. What was said in the memorial has been verified one by one by the Divine Machinery Department!"
Hong Juncheng sighed: "If you kill Xu Zhiqiong rashly without any real evidence, you will only anger Xuan Guo. Emperor Xuan Guo is young and energetic, so it is hard to say what he will do."
Hong Zhenji said: "If Cong Ming, Cong Shaoqing, the master of the magic machine, can help, this matter will be foolproof."
"You mean the art of capturing souls?" Hong Juncheng sighed, "This is a secret art."
Hong Zhenji said: "This technique is unique to Qiancheng. Even if Xu Zhiqiong survives, he will become a cripple. Xuan Guo will definitely not be able to find out the reason. Even if the king of Xuan Guo is extremely angry, he will not be able to express his anger."
Hong Juncheng thought for a moment and said: "Cong Ming is still a guilty person. He has exceeded the rules and should be severely punished."
Hong Zhenji hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I beg the Lord God to show mercy outside the law and allow him to make meritorious deeds."
Hong Juncheng nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. I'll just wait for the good news."
