Sima E glanced at Ning Du seriously, didn't ask the reason again, and instead said: "Although my lectures are very tedious and I always say some useless nonsense, I still hope that you will come to listen to my lectures more." ”

Ning Du replied respectfully: "I will definitely not be left behind." ”

Pang Jiushan breathed a sigh of relief, followed Sima E's footsteps, and the three of them stood together in front of the bamboo forest next to the Gewu Pavilion.

Sima E looked at the bamboo in front of him and said, "My qualifications are dull, and it took three years to participate in the bamboo; Senior Brother Shang, that is, your chief teacher, only took three hours, and Chen Nanping only used three hours. The matter of ginseng bamboo varies from person to person, and it cannot be forced. ”

"But I've been using it for three days. Ning Du said very sincerely.

Sima E glanced at Ning Du and said with a smile: "If you use it for a long time, you may not be inferior to others." Sometimes it's too fast, and it's not good. ”

Ning Du shook his head and said, "It's me who has the problem." ”

"Reach out. ”

There is a secret in his body, Ning Du knows this matter very well, the two old thieves have been tossing themselves for ten years, it is impossible to just have fun. However, as for what this secret is and how big it is, Ning Du doesn't know. It's like a mountain with a treasure, but you don't know what the value of this treasure is. At this time, it is best to explore alone. Once it is known by others, it will inevitably cause endless trouble and even killing.

Ning Du did not hesitate and stretched out his hand.

Sima E put his fingers on Ning Du's wrist and closed his eyes like a doctor checking his pulse.

The wind blows the bamboo leaves, making a rustling sound. Pang Jiushan held his breath and began the long wait.

After most of the hour, Sima E opened his eyes, and he looked at Ning Du with a complicated look.

"Sima Jiaoxi, what's wrong?" Pang Jiushan asked impatiently.

Sima E was silent for a long time before he said: "If you compare people to a container and vitality to water, then the number and size of the opening of this container determine the speed of filling with water. These invisible openings, we call them 'tricks'. There are a total of one hundred and eight knots in a person's body, and the number of them determines the talent at the beginning of the practice. Ordinary people can only open four or five tricks, and if they can open twelve tricks, they can practice, thirty-six tricks are medium, seventy-two tricks are superior, and more than 100 tricks are peerless talents. ”

"So, how much does my brother Ning know?"

Sima E held out a finger.

"A hundred tricks?!!or...... Just a trick?" asked Pang Jiushan impatiently.

"I don't know anything. ”

Pang Jiushan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Sima E with wide eyes, hoping that he had heard it wrong.

Ning Du said suddenly: "In this way, the miscellaneous qi inside can't get out, and the vitality outside can't come in, so I can't turn into a bamboo." It turns out that the problem is here. ”

Sima E bent down and picked up a bamboo leaf, handed it to Ning Du, and said, "If you can't turn into bamboo, you can also turn into something else." Ginseng grass, ginseng trees, ginseng people, and even ginseng latrines can be. ”

Ning Du took this bamboo leaf, remembering that Hu Ran only closed his eyes and said that her bamboo leaf had fallen, he exhaled lightly, looked up at the sky, and said, "Maybe it's going to rain." ”

Sima E smiled and walked straight away, but he remembered one more thing and turned around and said, "Pang Jiushan, lying is not a good classmate." ”

Pang Jiushan didn't mean to smile, just nodded.

Ning Du let go of his hand and let the bamboo leaves fall. Cultivation should be natural, just like the weather, if you can't force it, Sima E's meaning is Ning Du's understanding very quickly.

Pang Jiushan patted Ning Du's shoulder and said, "Brother Ning, I'll go and help you inquire, if there is any way to open up." Mountains can dig holes, and I don't believe that I can't dig a few holes in people. ”

Ning Du suddenly raised his head and looked forward and saw Chen Nanping. Pang Jiushan also saw it, so he shouted with a smile: "Classmate Chen Nanping, hello!"

Chen Nanping didn't speak, walked straight over, ignored Pang Jiushan, and just looked at Ning Du. Ning Du also looked at Chen Nanping, and there was no hostility between his eyebrows.

"For three days, you haven't participated in the bamboo. This is the first time Chen Nanping has spoken in Qingteng Garden, and her voice is very cold and hard, like an iron sword in a cold pool.

Ning Du smiled and said, "You participate in your bamboo, and I participate in mine." ”

"Good. After Chen Nanping finished saying this, she stopped talking nonsense and left directly.

Pang Jiushan exhaled and said cautiously: "Brother Ning, this woman is not easy to mess with. It's like a spring cold, gone, and there is still a chill left behind. ”

"You need it as soon as possible. ”

"I know. Even Chen Nanping can see that I am fake You are real, so Sima Jiaoxi must have seen it a long time ago, and it is estimated that the entire Qingteng Garden is about to know. I really had to get out of school. ”

In the afternoon, Sima E had no classes, and Pang Jiushan didn't plan to wander around Qingteng Garden, so he followed Ning Du back home.

As soon as Ning Du and Pang Jiushan entered the door, Hu Ran shouted: "Young master, why did you come back, I have been waiting for a long time, and I am about to starve to death." I'm so hungry, so I ate a chicken wing first, I just ate one, and I still have a whole roast chicken, young master, you won't blame me!"

Ning Du said: "I don't blame you. ”

Pang Jiushan pushed open the door, put down the food in his arms, and said, "Hu Ran, Hu Ran, let you stop talking, it's harder than letting the sun stop turning." ”

"Fatty, if you're okay, go back. ”

"Brother Ning, I'm fine, I'm very idle. ”

"I know, you're busy. My own business, I can solve it. ”

Pang Jiushan thought for a while and said, "Brother Ning, I can feel that you want to practice very much, just like a drunkard wants to drink and a gambler wants to gamble for money. But there are some things in this world that really can't come by, and we can change our path if we can't go this way. Brother Ning, you are the one who has taken the top spot in the Qingteng Garden!" He was indeed a little worried about Ning Du, after all, Chen Nanping had been participating in bamboo for three hours, but Ning Du had made no progress, so he went home with Ning Du, hoping to help him more.

Ning Du suddenly smiled and said, "I know very well that I am stronger than anyone else. ”

"I believe you, Brother Ning. After Pang Jiushan finished speaking, he left without hesitation, but just tore off a chicken leg, which made Hu Ran feel a little unhappy.

After eating, Hu Ran asked, "Young Master, what are you thinking?"

"I wondered, what can I become?"

"Hah, young master, I think you can turn into a big fish!"

"Big fish?"

"yes, it's one of those very big, very big fish, I've heard of it. That kind of big fish, cut a piece of meat, even if the whole Tiandu pot can't be stewed, you have to spread three thousand miles of charcoal fire to roast it!"

Ning Du laughed from his nostrils.

"Young master, you don't believe me!"

"I believe it, I believe it. ”

"The big fish is the biggest thing I've ever heard, I can't think of anything bigger than it, if you know what's bigger than it, young master, you'll be better. Anyway, in my eyes, the young master is bigger than anyone else. ”

Ning Du thought about it very seriously and said with a smile: "I want to become the biggest one!"

——

Pan Yunqi walked out of his backyard in rags, bowed his head and avoided everyone, obviously in his own house, but like a mouse.

After tidying up his clothes at the back door, Pan Yunqi looked up at the sky, and the tears in his eyes were held back, turning into resentment.

Since Pang Jiushan was admitted to the Qingteng Garden, and was still admitted as the top of the list, Xuanhemen's business has expanded rapidly, covering almost all the businesses of Chaomingfang, which makes it even more difficult to support Yicaitang, which is already struggling. It won't be long before the Yicai Hall, which originally went hand in hand with Xuanhemen, will collapse, and then the Pan family may not even be able to go back to their hometown to be a squire, so they will have to live on the streets.

Clenching his fists hatefully, Pan Yunqi pushed open the door and quickly disappeared into the criss-crossing alleys.

There is a long street in the north of Chaomingfang, called Yulong Street, which is one of the four major underground forces in Tiandu, as long as it can afford the price, it can meet any news request, and even the emperor can inquire which palace he is in tonight.

Yicaitang has reached this point, and there is only one way to bring it back to life, and that is to completely overthrow Xuanhemen, and then quickly annex it. Pan Yunqi smashed all the property he could use into this road, and naturally he was able to get the news he wanted.

"The reason why Pang Jiushan is at the top of the list is because his last lesson was highly appreciated by Shang Chonggu, who overwhelmed the will of the people and forcibly changed Pang Jiushan to the top of the list. Before the examination of the four universities, the Pang family had a huge expense, the specific amount of which was unknown, and the purpose was unknown. Pang Jiushan has been in and out of a place called Gualiu Hutong many times these days, and the person he is looking for is currently working as a chorre in the Qingteng Garden. ”

"This person, what is the origin?"

"I can't find it. ”

"Can't find it?"

"I only know that this person just came to Tiandu two days ago, and the broker who introduced him to Gualiu Hutong has been killed, robbed and killed by gangsters, and the gangster has been imprisoned, but his tongue has been cut, half dead, and he can't say anything. ”

That is to say, this person just came to Tiandu a few days ago, and then the person who introduced him to live died inexplicably, and then he entered the Qingteng Garden as a chorre. ”

"That's true. ”

"If this person doesn't have a problem, then it's weird!" Now Pan Yunqi is very sure that Pang Jiushan is the Qingteng Garden that he entered through cheating, and the person who lives in Gualiu Hutong must be a key person. A trap immediately took shape in his mind, and Pan Yunqi already had seventy or eighty percent certainty in his heart.

If Pang Jiushan's cheating can be found out, then Xuanhemen, who has relied on this reputation and accumulated countless wealth, will collapse immediately, and Yicaitang, which has made all preparations, can quickly annex it, and Pan Yunqi's family can continue to survive and grow stronger. In Tiandu, if you don't swallow all the bones of your opponent, it will be difficult to survive anymore.
