Chapter 5: Offering Wine

Being able to learn 'Xuanshu', Shen Chengping has always been very attentive, and after starting to learn "Xuanxin Wonderful Law", Shen Chengping did not forget to cultivate true qi, but although he wanted to combine "Xuanxin Wonderful Law" with his own "Ruyi Heart Sutra", it was not smooth, he knew from Xu Yong's mouth that the martial artists in this world practiced methods similar to true qi, and there were also some monks who practiced true qi, or martial artists who practiced Xuanshu, but this was just an auxiliary, and no one had ever been able to accommodate the two together, if they practiced together, on the contrary, will be distracting, both are high or low.

However, this is nothing to Shen Chengping, his Ruyi Heart Sutra can already be able to run the true qi by walking, sitting and lying on his own, and he does not need to work hard to cultivate, he only needs to practice swordsmanship every day, and the rest of the time Shen Chengping is practicing mysticism, and the progress is also rapid, but in twelve years, Xu Yong said that Shen Chengping's mana is no less than that of Xu Fu at the beginning, and Xu Yong's alchemy and formation are also a little hot, when refining relatively simple quenching pills, nourishing pills and other pills, The technique is not below him, but many other pills are still far behind in practice.

Xu Yong also died in this year, and the monks who fell into the Rotten God Grass have also lived for more than ten or even twenty years, but Xu Yong himself is already more than a hundred years old, relying on mana to make himself no different from about thirty years old, but without mana support, the life span has become the same as ordinary people, coupled with the toxic erosion of the Rotten God Grass, the life span has decreased, it can be said that if Shen Chengping hadn't given Xu Yong his life with exquisite medical skills, he would have died three or four years ago.

In the end, Shen Chengping buried Xu Yong's body, and said goodbye to Shen Chong and his sister-in-law who was ready to go out to travel, this sister-in-law is the daughter of the village elder, and now she has added two sons and a daughter to Shen Chong.

Shen Chengping left in the early hours of the morning, just bringing a simple backpack, he started his light work, and when he arrived at the nearest town, the sky was just dawn, and the city gate had just opened.

This is just a small city with a length and width of just over a thousand meters, and there are only more than 2,000 residents in it, Shen Chengping has been here I don't know how many times over the years, and he is also very familiar with the captain guarding the city gate, so he directly greeted: "Brother has worked hard!" ”

"It's you!" The captain smiled at Shen Chengping, without the slightest intention of charging Shen Chengping for entering the city, he had been helped by Shen Chengping twice and cured him and a younger brother of serious illness, and this face was naturally to be given: "Look you didn't bring prey, are you here to buy something?" ”

"Well, I'm going to buy something, I'm ready to travel far!" Shen Chengping said directly: "Next, I will trouble you to take care of my eldest brother!" ”

"Are you going to travel? Also, with your skills, you will definitely be able to be valued by those nobles and become a doorman! The team leader said.

"Hmm!" Shen Chengping didn't refute either, in fact, he didn't have a specific goal, he just planned to go to the royal capital of Chu State first, before Xu Yong and his nominal senior brother Xu Fu were all worshippers of Chu State, and he wanted to see if Xu Fu was still there.

The name Xu Fu is also very famous in modern times, and with the elixir, it is difficult for Shen Chengping not to think of the Xu Fu who refined the elixir of immortality for Qin Shi Huang, but he doesn't care about the specifics, what he cares about is how to find this Xu Fu, and then kill him, fulfill Xu Yong's wish, and at the same time be able to get the elixir in his hands.

"By the way, just now the king issued a strict order, looking for the swordsmith Mo Ye, whoever catches it will have a heavy reward, and can be named a noble, if you travel far away, you might as well pay attention!" The team leader said directly.

"Mo Xie? What's going on? Shen Chengping was stunned for a moment and asked, "I heard that Mo Ye is a famous swordsmith, why did the king arrest him?" ”

"It's not for me to know, I just heard that he is the wife of a swordsmith, more than ten years ago, the cadre was executed by the king after casting a sword for the king, that Mo Ye disappeared, I don't know why she was suddenly wanted, and it is said that there is also a remnant of the cadre called the child between the eyebrows." The squad leader said, pointing to a portrait that had just been pasted on the city gate.

Looking at the portrait on it, this painting is a big and a small two, but it is really abstract, and it is impossible to distinguish the specific appearance, but this story makes Shen Chengping feel a little familiar, but he can't figure it out, and finally Shen Chengping put this matter aside, no matter what, let's go to the royal capital first.

"I'll pay attention!" Shen Chengping responded to the squad leader's words, and then entered the city.

He didn't stay in the city for a long time, just bought some things that he might encounter on the road, and then went on the road, in fact, the small city was not far from the king, it was only a distance of hundreds of miles, otherwise Xu Yong would not be able to run thousands of miles away in a state of serious injury even if he cast a spell.

Identifying the road, with Shen Chengping's light skills, he hurried at full speed, and arrived at the royal capital before sunset, which can be regarded as entering the city before the city gate was closed.

After so many years, Shen Chengping has figured out that now the state of Chu is the reign of King Chu Ling, and the King of Chu Ling recorded in history is a violent king, poor and extravagant, fond of killing, and does not cultivate benevolence.

But Shen Chengping has long known that history is like a little girl who can't put on makeup, and she can only let the bustards dress up wantonly when she falls into the green building. It's obviously green and indestructible, but it just wants to make it bright and colorful.

Even if there are many discredits in the history books, it is undeniable that King Chu Ling made great achievements during his reign, destroyed the Cai State, coerced the Wu State, and once opened a good situation for the Chu State.

As Orwell said in "1984": "Whoever masters the past will master the present and the future!" It has always been the right of the victors to embellish history.

However, Shen Chengping did not plan to go directly to the palace to check the situation, but directly inquired and came to the gate of the Xiongju Mansion.

Xiong Ju is also a royal son of the Chu State, and later renamed Xiong Qiji, who is the king of Chu after the Spirit King - King Chuping. Xiong Ju is also a ruthless man, and in the future, the reputation of King Chu Ling will rot the street, and he was finally forced to hang himself to death, which is Xiong Qiji's handiwork.

Of course, in order to avoid being jealous of King Chu Ling, the current Xiong Qiji just drinks and has fun every day, but all the ministers and generals who have some real power dare not make friends, at least on the surface, according to what Shen Chengping inquired about, this King Chu Ling is indeed easy to kill, and he is very suspicious, and Xiong Qiji endured it for a long time and launched it, which is even more terrible, and now Shen Chengping is planning to go online with Xiong Qiji, of course, for Xiong Qiji's situation at this time, he used the name of offering wine.
