Chapter 34 Settling In

On the official road in the north of Xiangyang City, Hubei, three carriages drove towards the city gate in turn.

In the wide carriage at the beginning, a handsome man dressed in white sat cross-legged, holding a Taoist classic in his hand and answering questions and answers with the middle-aged Taoist priest in the car.

"What do you mean by gathering the five elements?"

"The wood of the soul of the east, the gold of the soul, the fire of the south god, the water of the north spirit, and the soil of the favorite."

"What are the four elephants of harmony?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest replied, "Hide your eyes." Concentrate on the ear, tone the nose, and silence the tongue. ”

The young man said happily: "I see. So what is the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan? ”

"The eyes do not see but the soul is in the liver, the ears do not hear but the essence is in the kidneys, the tongue does not groan but the spirit is in the heart, the nose is not fragrant but the spirit is in the lungs, and the limbs do not move but the intention is in the spleen.

The key practices of Taoist practice, such as "Harmony and Four Elephants" and "Five Qi Dynasty Yuan", are repeatedly mentioned in martial arts novels.

One taught patiently, the other studied seriously, and along the way, Xu Hao took out the manuscript to ask for the cultivation method of Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong.

Wang Chuyi was also amazed at the strength of the Tibetan Zen Sect, but after his analysis, this martial art was easy for Xu Hao, whose physical body was already beyond ordinary people, but if he wanted to cultivate to the top level, he needed the assistance of countless precious medicinal materials and even heavenly and earthly treasures.

The essence of Shengong is very simple, that is, to increase physical fitness by cultivating the internal strength of the dragon elephant, so that the cultivator's muscles are incomparably dense, and his strength is different from ordinary people's.

In Taoist parlance, this is a technique that specializes in refining and refining qi, but its focus is on refining and refining qi.

Absorb nutrients from outside to the body's growth, such as absorbing the essence of food to improve one's vitality, so that bones and muscles become denser, and strength is just a bonus to carry up.

Having solved the problem that had been solved, Xu Hao felt relieved for a while, so he sped up, and in less than half a month, the group came to the destination outside the city.

…………

First, he found a room in an inn called Laifu Inn and stayed for a few days, and Xu Hao instructed Yang Tiexin's father and daughter to buy a manor.

Three days later, everyone followed the shopkeeper of Yaxing to a large mansion in the southern part of the city.

There is a big plaque hanging at the door - Liu's house, and there are eight layers of steps leading directly to the door of the house, and the two stone lions at the door are as heavy as a thousand pounds, and they are majestic.

"Young master, you look at this house, covering an area of forty-eight acres, the front yard is the reception hall, the backyard has more than 30 wings, and there are pavilions and pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, you can also come to the small pavilion to play chess and drink tea, about three or five confidants play the piano and taste music, it is really envious of others." Bao Xiqiao introduced.

Since the husband and wife talked and flirted along the way, Bao Xiweak gradually became cheerful, and he looked a lot younger. After many years, the haze in my heart has been swept away, and I can sometimes let go of chatting with Xu Hao.

Xu Hao nodded with satisfaction, as his residence for a few years, this house is already very good, there are many houses, the yard is wide, and it is enough to stay at home and practice martial arts.

Although he is already a handsome young man with a dignified appearance, he still can't change the habit of a fat house, he can lie down and never sit, and he can stay at home and never go out to join in the fun.

"Li Gongzi, the owner of this Liu Mansion is not simple, the elder brother of the head of the family is an official in the court, and he has recently been promoted to a big step, so the whole family has moved to Lin'an Mansion to settle down. This first arrived in Lin'an, the Liu family mainly worked up and down, so they sold this house, otherwise no one would be willing to sell such a good house! The shopkeeper said.

Xu Hao knew that in ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty, where commerce was developed, tooth shops were very popular as middlemen, similar to modern intermediary platforms.

"How much money do you say is appropriate?" Xu Hao asked.

"Well, it's not cheap!" The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said.

"Our son is not bad for money, as long as the price is right, the transaction will be completed immediately, but don't make fun of us!" Mu Nianci was now playing with a sword behind Xu Hao and said to the shopkeeper.

Rubbing his hands, the shopkeeper replied: "Master Liu's asking price is 30,000 taels of silver, you see?" ”

"It's high, this mansion is at most twenty-five thousand taels!" Bao Xiweak simply interjected.

has been a princess for more than ten years, even if she sits in her own thatched hut and rarely goes out, she is somewhat knowledgeable, and naturally understands these luxury mansions that ordinary people can't touch.

Xu Hao looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, and said lightly, "As for me, I really want to buy this mansion, and I don't like the twists and turns of your businessmen, give you a chance to quote the real price, it's not suitable for us to change to the next one, what do you say!" ”

"This, you see, why don't I talk about it again and help you kill the bargain?"

"Well, give you a day, it's outdated. But if you negotiate on the basis of 25,000 taels, how about giving you a commission of 10% for every 1,000 taels cheaper? ”

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, patted his chest and promised: "Li Gongzi, don't worry, give me a day, negotiate the price for you, and let's hand over the procedures as soon as possible." ”

…………

The moon stars are scarce, Xu Hao sits cross-legged on the pu mat and exercises, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old delicate maid is dozing outside the house.

More than ten days have passed, Xu Hao spent 1,800 taels of gold to turn Liu's mansion into a Li house, Wang Chuyi and Yang Tiexin's family, including the three brothers and sisters who passed by the poor town and took them in, all followed into the house, and Xu Hao can be regarded as having his own home in this world.

Yang Tiexin was appointed as the housekeeper in the house, responsible for commanding all the servants and the subordinates recruited by Xu Hao in the future.

Poor management of logistics, including food, clothing, etc.

At this time, Mu Nianci had long forgotten that her future husband Wan Yankang had been identified by a tendon, and the family deliberately did not mention this matter, after all, this matter hit him too hard, and it would be good to let his mother go.

Xu Hao specially promulgated a position for Mu Nianci, the head of Li Zhai, responsible for training and teaching three children to read and practice martial arts, Teacher Mu rushed away to take office, and took Xu Hao named Li Yunhu, Li Helong, and Li Jiufeng's three brothers and sisters to play with Yang's gun in the yard.

That's right, it's also good to listen to a lot of cross talk, at least you can borrow the name of a cross talk gang, and you can use it again when you go to other worlds to name others in the future.

Taking out all the gold that had been in his backpack, Xu Hao instructed Yang Tiexin to set up a restaurant, and handed him the distilled liquor and some recipes brought by the main world, so that he could play freely, and he devoted himself to practicing martial arts.

On the way to Xiangyang, Xu Hao entered the door under the guidance of Wang Chuyi, and initially sensed a sense of qi hovering in the navel dantian.

Wang Chuyi gave him a detailed analysis, this exercise is that he needs to constantly exercise his strength and eat some great tonic things for refining.

In fact, this martial art is not complicated after the introduction, and two hours of meditation luck are set aside every day, so that the internal force increases and is refined, and at the same time, it can strengthen the proficiency of the internal force in the body. The rest of the time, Xu Hao needs to exercise his body. Let the dragon elephant's internal strength soak into his flesh and blood and improve his physical fitness.

It may be that his physical potential has not been exhausted, and after three days of living in the new house, he has broken through to the second layer of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong.

At this time, Xu Hao felt that he could burst out his power more freely, he used to have empty power and couldn't use it, that is, his mental power was too buggy, and a small flying knife and arrow could make him the top master in the martial arts world.
