When I returned home from the guardhouse, I saw Natsu and another slim figure laughing in front of the water tank in the yard, probably feeding the fish in the tank.
"Master Shen is back?"
The person who opened the door was Xiao Ma. His full name was Ma Jiufu. He was currently serving as the housekeeper for Hu Tian, who had broken his leg and was still recovering from his injuries. Of course, he only took care of things and ignored the accounts. Hu Tian was still worried about handing over the family's accounts to Ma Jiufu.
Shen Hao hummed and walked to the main room. As he walked, he said to Xiao Ma: "There will be a few Xuanqing guards coming in the evening. Keep an eye on them. If they need anything, you can help them."
"Okay Master Shen, I understand. You can go in and have a rest, drink a cup of tea, and you can eat later."
Over there, Xia Nu also hurriedly went to fetch water to wipe Shen Hao's face. The slim woman next to her hesitated for a moment and walked over. She bowed down at a distance of more than three feet.
"Xin'er has met Master Shen. Thank you very much Master Shen for helping me avenge the Lin family. He also helped save Xin'er from fire and water a few days ago. Xin'er cannot repay Master Shen's kindness and kindness... "
"Okay. You will live here these days. You can move out after the matter with the Wen family is over, so that you can be with Xia Nu on weekdays." Shen Hao took a sip of tea and interrupted Lin Xiner's words. .
"This...then it will disturb Master Shen." Lin Xiner's pretty face blushed slightly as she didn't know what she thought of, and she quickly lowered her head.
Shen Hao waved his hand and asked Lin Xiner to get down. It's not that he is greedy for other people's bodies, he just doesn't want the people he knows to be used by the Wen family to vent their anger and die in vain.
Shen Hao asked Lin Xiner to go down, but Lin Xiner didn't leave. She said that she had learned a lot of waiting skills when she was trapped in the tooth shop. She couldn't live at home in vain, so she could help out with Xia Nu. So when Xia Nu brought water, Lin Xiner took over, wiping Shen Hao's face and squeezing his shoulders. She was so attentive that Xia Nu next to her felt that she was redundant.
Lin Xiner did not serve the table during the meal, but served beside her with Xia Nu. After Shen Hao finished eating, they would go to the kitchen to eat with Ma Jiufu and Aunt Zhang.
After dinner, Shen Hao went to the backyard to practice. Although he was busy these days, he still took time to practice every day. Practice requires accumulation over time, and nothing can be accomplished overnight.
The energy obtained from the soul furnace in the tattoo on his chest still shows no sign of weakening. It seems that what Shen Hao has consumed so far is just superficial. Every time he is lucky, a huge amount of energy will flow into his meridians from the various points on his chest. , all the time forcing the meridians to expand bit by bit, and then more of them are gathered into the sea of consciousness between the eyebrows and absorbed by the soul.
His cultivation level was still at the first level of the God Gathering Realm, but Shen Hao had a vague feeling that he seemed to be very close to the threshold of the next small realm, as if it wouldn't be long before he could break through again.
Standing quietly in the yard, the night wind blew slowly, Shen Hao closed his eyes and remained motionless.
Suddenly, Shen Hao made a seal with one hand and chanted the seal quickly in his mouth. Then his body suddenly disappeared and only appeared two feet away in the blink of an eye.
"I have improved my earth escape skills so fast!"
Although it was his first time practicing the technique and there was no one around to guide him, Shen Hao could still feel that his technique practice was progressing surprisingly quickly. It only took less than half a month to get it together, and his earth escape could barely reach the level of practical use.
"The speed of making seals with one hand can be faster, and the seals need to be more familiar and faster. Only when you can reach the level of the mind seals can you be considered proficient." He made rapid progress, but Shen Hao didn't get crazy. He clearly knew that he What to do next.
Besides, it was mentioned in "The Great Five Elements Zhenqi" that when one has practiced earth escape to the extreme, he can be dozens of miles away in an instant, and he is still far behind.
The thunder in the palm is not as troublesome as the escape technique. You only need to condense the wood essence energy, and the technique will generate thunder and lightning on its own, and then use the points in the palm to bombard it out. The focus is mainly on the "thunder generation" stage, but it is not needed after that. control.
There is no need to perform hand seals, but the seal technique is still chanted, but the seal formula is far simpler than the escape technique.
Shen Hao slapped his palm on the ground, and a bolt of lightning as thick as his little finger burst out from his palm. With a crackling sound, a half-foot-deep pit was opened on the ground, and the surrounding area was scorched black.
This power is quite powerful. Although it has not been tested on humans, [ ] according to Shen Hao's estimation, this palm strike can easily kill an ordinary person without relying on the power of the palm alone. die. However, if you want to use it on monks and produce a one-hit victory, it is still a little bit short.
Shen Hao, a fellow practitioner of two arts, has achieved such results in less than half a month. He is very satisfied. He knows that this is due to the enhancement of his meridians and soul by the tattoo on his chest. This effect seems to be only getting stronger at present.
Late at night, seven Xuanqing guardsmen began to set up defenses around Shen Hao's house. After that, no matter who went out in the house, one or two people would secretly follow him. At least until the Wen family's matter came to light, Shen Hao felt that no matter how cautious he was, he could not be too cautious.
...
North of Licheng, Beicheng Inn. Single courtyard.
"Madam, Qianli Yin has come to the house. Please stop staying outside and go back as soon as possible." Wen Shiliu handed a golden three-inch sword to Qin Yurou.
It was late at night, and Qin Yurou still had no sleepiness. He turned his head and glanced at the Qianli Note in the slave's hand but did not take it.
"Have you found the person I asked you to find?" Qin Yurou's voice was low and cold.
"We found them. There are three people in total. They are all casual cultivators. They are used to doing this kind of business. They are very brave and do evil things. As long as the price is enough, they dare to do anything. But... Madam, do we really want to do this? Do you want to do it? Master..."
Qin Yurou snorted coldly: "Wen Shiliu, after you changed your name to Wen Shiliu, you really forgot whose slave you are?"
"Wen... Qin San doesn't dare. Qin San has always known that my wife is my master. But this matter is too important. If you have a bad wife, you will be in doom!" Wen Liudan Kneeling on the ground, her tone was urgent, as if she wanted to persuade Qin Yurou to change her mind.
"So what if there is no recovery! Ren Hai has been waiting for my mother in the dark prison of Black Flag Camp for half a month. If he waits any longer, even if he is taken out, he will definitely be ruined. And can the entire Wen family take Ren Hai back? Not necessarily, I’m worried that Ren Hai will die if this continues.”
"This...isn't it right?! Madam, if I like Young Master Ren Hai so much, I will never see him in trouble."
"Wen Hong? He..." Qin Yurou frowned even deeper when she heard the name, as if she didn't want to mention it in her words. "Give the order to the person you are looking for. The price is whatever they want. I only have one request, and that is that I want Ren Haiquan to come back to me."
Wen Shiliu hesitated to speak, but in the end he could only agree, then bowed and left.
