"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 too extreme. It's like there are always some children with slightly better eyesight than others... But even so, all senses and strength have improved, and overall it should be better. Much stronger than before.”
"Where is the true energy?" Zhang Xing couldn't wait to ask while recording with charcoal.
"Infuriating energy is what changes the most." Qin Bao replied while taking his luck calmly. "Each of the previous eleven positive meridians is independent. When using true energy to exert force, it must start from the dantian of the sea of qi, go through specific internal organs, and reach specific limbs; but the twelfth correct meridians pass through After that, I felt that all the zhenqi in the whole body was integrated, not that the route of exerting force would deviate, but just like a person exerting his own strength. I felt that the zhenqi and the meridians of the body were integrated into one, and the flow of energy was much smoother and smoother."
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 you like 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 and 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 collection work; while Beiya took over the construction of the Babel Tower.
Therefore, the south government office is very busy, the north government office is also very busy, the princes are very busy, and the governors are also very busy.
As for merchants, I don’t know about other places. Anyway, merchants in Dongdu began to go bankrupt in large numbers, 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 his own reputation, no third senior 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 let their vassal businessmen merge businesses, buy facades at low prices, or simply accept contributions from businessmen 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 be like a leek field after the rain, lush and green again.
Even the war disaster 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 was nothing to talk about in correcting the pulse, and that exercise and meditation were the most direct and appropriate methods.
On the contrary, it is Qin Bao's kind, which should be related to the characteristics of true energy, 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 was getting 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 Chongmai during working hours, kindly reminded me. "Just don't slack off when it comes to upright pulse. There's 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 is overthinking. 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 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, and there is really no need to do it. If I really encounter something that must be done, I will still do it... What I mean by having nothing to do is... … 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 while.
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, he cut down a general flag that was about to be hoisted with a black ribbon that day, and he had to rely on Bai Yousi's protection to get through. How about cutting 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 only be dead.
Even though Uncle Cao Huang had been angry with Zhang Han for a long time, if someone really beheaded 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 surround him. If you don't use it, just cut him 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 behind him, was at a loss for words. "Did Minister Zhang Wenda be buried together by Prime Minister Zhang Shizhao and Zhongcheng before?"
"If you say that you are going with the flow and do nothing to save someone, that's definitely true." Bai Yousi's words were clear. "But if it were explained that Huang Huang was planning to bury his body, it would definitely not be possible..."
"I think so too." Zhang Xing clasped his hands again and sighed.
"I know what you mean." Female Changjian continued to speak, 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, after the saint sent the Fulong Guards to Zhang Han, the matter may have been resolved... The saint's move already had the intention of killing one's heart, and Zhong Cheng is If I want to take action, I won’t do it again in a short time.”
"Yes." Zhang Xing nodded. "Actually, this matter has gone without any twists and turns since all the princes of Nanya surrendered to Your Majesty that day. The construction of large golden pillars has become a formal edict, and the donation of gold and silver is also an official document of Nanya... It's just my wishful thinking. I just want to go.”
"That's why you are 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 looking to see if anyone wants to go with you?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing was a little embarrassed.
"Is there any?" Bai Yousi asked seriously.
"No." Zhang Xing answered simply. "I come from the Li Ding family, and Qin Er still wants to stand out in the court and change the world... If they don't even come with me, who else will be there? I came to Dongdu and I am broke, but I recognize these two people."
Bai Yousi turned to look 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 each other, what will happen in the future? Doesn't it mean it can't be done? Rather, if you are in such a hurry, why don’t you even ask me a question?
Just as he was thinking about it, the female regular inspector stepped aside from the sensitive topic and asked slowly: "Then 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 just become a bandit, but I haven't thought of a place yet."
"Then you still want to leave?" Bai Yousi sighed for a moment.
"Different ways do not lead to mutual conspiracy." Zhang Xing said one thing. "I couldn't bear it anymore, and there was nothing I could do, so I had to leave and find a new way. It's just..."
"It's just that my cultivation is not enough, and it's difficult to even protect myself, so I'm just here to endure the cultivation?" Bai Yousi asked. "What level of cultivation are you prepared to endure?"
"I think it would be best if the eight extra meridians are clear and the elixir is condensed." Zhang Xingyi said. "But then I thought about it, if the Ren and Du meridians of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians are opened, I can make sure that the Condensation Pill is expected to go away... My current idea is to touch the threshold of the Ren and Du meridians, or the Eight Extraordinary Meridians can be opened casually. Once you have two meridians and some self-protective Qi application, just leave."
"No wonder." Bai Yousi sighed with emotion. "No wonder you are so anxious... Things like the eight extraordinary meridians depend more on your understanding and fate. For example, General Zhao, the Moyun Golden-winged Dapeng, became enlightened in one day and had access to both the governor and governor meridians."
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, friends, or friends. It is all because of your kindness that I can live in Dongdu until now." Zhang Xing said with a calm expression. "I wanted to leave. I planted the seed from Jiangdong, but then I agreed to go on another inspection trip, so I covered up the past. But now that I have encountered this kind of thing again, after thinking about it, I feel that there is no need to stay anymore. ... All kinds of experiences have been experienced and discussed with Chang Jian. Chang Jian knows it very well... However, if there is anyone who is worried and sorry for you, it is you, Chang Jian... …I asked directly, if I leave, will it affect the regular inspection meditation?”
Bai Yousi was silent for a long time, and then he said: "From the cultivation point of view, it is actually just a little delay. The elixir is ready. The elixir is ready. It is to engrave some concepts and things on the inner elixir to facilitate the projection of the master stage to the outside world. If one doesn't work, there is another one... If you ask Li Ding or anyone 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?"
Hearing the last sentence, Zhang Xing 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." Zhang Xing smiled with relief after hearing this question. "With Chang Jian's family background, connections, and abilities, even if he wants to do big things, I should follow Chang Jian... But since I am so rude to ask, it also shows that I really can't stand it... I have both right and wrong in my heart. , I can't be happy with my grudges and help the weak, so if I don't leave, how long will it take? Of course, I can't say that I am born stupid. Even if I finally get through the main meridians, it may be difficult to get through the eight extraordinary meridians in my life. Two of them, wouldn’t it mean that you have to check your side all your life? There’s no need to worry.”
"If you said that, I should be happy." Bai Yousi spoke seriously. "But I know that you are by no means a thing in the pool... and the higher you go in cultivation, the more it depends on a person's pattern, deeds, experience, and even the current situation... After all, it cannot stop you from soaring into the sky. It's just that ...But, after all, I still want to tell you that I am 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 in one point. As for Qin Erlang, I don't want to force him to use friendship, just like the patrol inspector sat back and watched me go to find them without stopping him." Zhang Xing answered sincerely and seriously. "The most difficult thing for a person is to let go of the opportunity to choose the weak... In this regard, I respect the patrol 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, move to a different place, and settle down in a place."
"Yes." Zhang Xing nodded in response. He did not object to this plan.
Which of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms is not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty? Who wouldn’t be a loyal minister? I, Grand Master Dong, am the most loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!
"Speaking of it." After saying this, the two of them became much more calm, apart from adding some weird emotions, and Zhang Xing also remembered something. "Isn't Chang Jian claiming to be doing something good? Why do you have to read the ancient books of Langya Pavilion on the third floor every day?"
"It's because of my cultivation that I naturally pay attention to something." Bai Yousi blurted out, then suddenly looked at the stairs at his feet, remembered something again, and quickly reminded him. "You have to be careful, don't let your true energy be 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 was neither young nor middle-aged had 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, but as soon as he spoke, he brought an important message that disrupted the previous relationship between the two. "It's like this. The heat has been getting stronger these days, and construction projects have been going on day and night. In addition, 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. Therefore, my father is very quiet and restless. With the advice of the eldest princess, we are planning to go out to inspect the Western Capital today... The queen mother, several concubines, and the eldest princess will all go together... You guys pack up, and I will open the door and take out the Fulong Seal for you. 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: No more... 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.
