Chapter 16 Knowing the face but not the heart
Seeing Shen Xiu go out with a happy face, Gao Ming said in his heart that Dean Shen was probably happy that he could cultivate his spiritual power so pure, and couldn't help but secretly think: This Dean Shen is not related to him, but he arranged for himself to enter the library to study, and arranged for himself to come to the practice building to refine qi, and he also guarded and guided himself with the respect of the dean, this kindness is really not small.
Since he came into this world, although he is cheerful by nature, the sky falls when it is covered. But after all, I know that this world is still the world of monks, and the gap between commoners and monks is clearly insurmountable. With his achievements in previous games, he is naturally unwilling to be a civilian for the rest of his life, quietly observing the world, and waiting until a certain day to be picked up by those people to complete the task. When he finally cultivated his spiritual power again today, the joy in his heart could be imagined.
It took Shen Xiu a long time to go, and Gao Ming didn't know if it had been a few hours or a few days since he was concentrating on practicing indoors, so he finally waited for this opportunity and naturally cultivated wholeheartedly. There are so many students in this Hongdu Academy, but there are only so many in the Qi Refining Room. Gao Ming knew that he was afraid that he was out of this room today, and he didn't know when it would be his turn again, not to mention that he was not a student of Hongdu Academy now. He refined all the spiritual energy in the remaining five vermilion fruits, and the liquid ball in the sea of qi had almost filled the entire sea of qi, and it became thicker and thicker. He didn't know that the results of his cultivation in the past two days had surpassed the cultivation of most monks for twenty or thirty years, and the purity of his spiritual power was unparalleled in the world, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was the first in the world. This is all thanks to the fact that he is almost a human being, and the modification of his body by those scientists. At this time, the spiritual power in his body was circulating back and forth along the meridians of his body, constantly moisturizing the muscles, veins, bones, flesh and skin of his body. The pores of his body were constantly oozing out something black and gray like mud, emitting a foul smell.
"Squeak. Just when Gao Ming was selfless and cultivating, with the sound of the door being pushed open, Shen Xiu walked in with a sack. Smelling the unpleasant smell in the room, Shen Xiu did not have any displeasure.
"The Dean has returned. Gao Ming hurriedly got up and said.
Shen Xiu took out a white brocade robe and a jar of water from the sack, and said, "You clean up your body first, and then change this outfit into it." With that, he turned and walked out of the room.
Gao Ming saw that he was so thoughtful about himself, and he was even more grateful in his heart. hurriedly took off the coarse cloth clothes that had already smelled on his body. The jar of water was half a person high, and it was filled with dozens of liters of water. Of course, with Shen Xiu's fourth-grade cultivator's cultivation, this amount of weight was effortless for him. Gao Ming used this water to clean his whole body, and then dried it, and then changed into clothes, and tied his hair back with a white brocade.
"Not bad, not bad. Shen Xiu heard his voice and came in again, and closed the door casually, "In this way, you are a talent." ”
"The dean's reputation is overblown. ”
"Gao Ming, your talent is incomparable. Shen Xiu said again, "Don't talk about the world today, compared to history, I'm afraid that only a person like Sage Kong who was born to know would dare to say that he is more stable than you." ”
"After the boy, he is the last to learn, where dare to be so praised as an adult. ”
"You don't have to be humble, I'm very optimistic about you. Shen Xiu continued, but then the topic changed, "However, although you are not a student of Hongdu Academy, you are also a member of Hongdu Academy. You should also know that there are many monks in Hongdu Academy, and the resources are really limited. ”
Gao Ming nodded, he had already been mentally prepared, but he didn't feel stunned, "This student is naturally provincial." ”
"But if you can't get the corresponding cultivation resources with the qualifications of the Heavenly Mandate, isn't this a tyrannical thing?" Shen Xiu said, "That's the case, I went out to find you a rich and noble family these days, and they agreed to provide you with a practice room and some spirit valley spirit fruits for cultivation, are you willing to go?"
As soon as Shen Xiu's words came out, Gao Ming was really overjoyed. Xindao This Dean Shen really treats himself like a child of his family, and it is really difficult to repay such kindness in this life. His personality is also hearty, and he knows that no matter how modest he is at this time, it is too much of a lie, so he said gratefully at the moment: "Dean Daen, the student is unforgettable!"
Shen Xiu saw that his face was full of sincerity, knowing that he was speaking from the heart, and nodded with satisfaction: "You also know that there are many rules in rich and noble families, and there are many children. The result of my discussion with the head of the house is not to let outsiders, including his family, see it, and if you are not afraid of grievances, get into this sack first, and I will send you over at night. ”
Gao Ming did not doubt that he had him, and immediately answered his mouth and got into the sack himself. Shen Xiu said "I am temporarily wronged", then pricked the mouth of the sack and went out of the room.
Gao Ming is tall, but the sack that Shen Xiu brought is not small, he curls up a little and stays inside, but he doesn't feel depressed. With his current Qi refining master, even if he doesn't breathe for a few hours, he can maintain it purely by spiritual power. When he stayed inside, he felt that Shen Xiu was constantly jumping up and down, and his speed was extremely fast, and although Dean Shen was famous for his talismans, his body refining skills were also outstanding. Although the cultivation of the qi refining chamber is really fundamental, if the refining body is not strong, even an ordinary body refining cultivator can beat the current mastery. He had been exposed to a lot of high-grade body refining exercises in online games before, and he had corroborated each other with those theoretical books in the library pavilion, and he knew very well how to cultivate all parts of his body, and all that was missing was cultivation.
Shen Xiu carried Gao Ming on his back for a while, stopped somewhere, and whispered to Gao Ming in the sack: "Pay attention to hold your breath, I'm going into the water." ”
Gao Ming was still wondering why he still had to go into the water, so he heard a pop, and then in the darkness, it seemed that the boundless water drowned himself. At this time, it is spring, and it is night, and the water temperature is very cold. Gao Ming held his breath, and the spiritual power in his body flowed, but he didn't feel stuffy. With his current cultivation, it will not be in the way for a few hours. But after all, he hadn't had time to refine his body, although he was strong on weekdays, but Shen Xiu had been swimming under the water, and Gao Ming didn't feel his body temperature as if he had been sucked dry by cold water, and his whole body was tense, and he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Just as he felt as if a long time had passed, he suddenly felt that he began to float up again with Shen Xiu from the deep water. "Smack", Gao Ming knew that he was thrown to the shore by Shen Xiu, so he quickly instinctively breathed sharply for a while, and when his spiritual power turned, he quickly warmed up.
I heard Shen Xiu also follow out of the water, and first learned to call a few times as a nightingale. In a moment, I heard someone quietly coming.
He heard Shen Xiu whisper in his pocket: "Yin Huangmen, I have already brought that person." ”
That Yin Huangmen also lowered his voice and responded: "Dean Shen's foot strength is not slow." The man is in this sack?"
Shen Xiu said in a low voice: "Yes, it's in that sack." Then Gao Ming felt that the man took out the sack that contained himself, and tossed it with his hand again, and then resisted his shoulder.
Shen Xiu said again: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, I'll leave first." After speaking, there was another pop, and Shen Xiu dived into the water again.
The man named Yin Huangmen carried him, and his feet were not slow, and after turning around, the man who listened to Gao Ming opened a door, and after coming in, he walked more than a dozen steps, put him down from his shoulder, and dragged him on the ground. Gao Ming immediately felt that he was being upside down by the stairs, knowing that this person was going down the stairs, and said in his heart that the qi refining room was underground. On second thought, it's just as well. No matter what kind of rich and noble family it is, the cultivation resources can't just give yourself such an outsider. But I don't know what kind of friendship Dean Shen has with this master, and he has allowed himself to get so many benefits, and his gratitude to Shen Xiu has become stronger and stronger.
The man dragged him up a few dozen stairs, and then after a dozen steps, he opened a door, and only then did he untie the sack.
Gao Ming looked at it, but it was a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes with a white face and beard. He looked at the other party, and the other party also looked him up and down carefully, and nodded: "The appearance is also thoughtful." "His voice was a little shrill and not like that of an ordinary man.
Gao Ming didn't pay attention when he heard Shen Xiu's conversation with him in the sack just now, but when he saw the other party's face and heard the other party's voice, he was surprised: it turned out to be a eunuch. But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, it is not uncommon for the backyard steward of a large family in Shangluo to find a castrated person. It's just that with his character, he really doesn't want to talk to a eunuch, and he always feels weird in his heart.
The one who was called Yin Huangmen didn't care that he didn't reply, and also took out a non-gold and non-jade ball from his arms, which was almost exactly the same as Shen Xiu's, and said to Gao Ming: "You use some spiritual power to the small ball." ”
Gao Ming is familiar with the road, but he still holds down the ball with his palm, gently spits out a little spiritual power from his palm, and then withdraws his palm. That Yin Huangmen couldn't help but praise when he saw it: "What a pure spiritual power! What a pure control!" Originally, he hadn't taken Gao Ming seriously in his heart, and he couldn't help but be impressed at this time.
Xin said: "This son is young, but he doesn't want his spiritual power to be cultivated to such a pure level, and it is difficult for anyone in the world to compare with him." But I don't know how he cultivated? Could it be that this son has been cultivating since his mother's womb?"
He didn't know Gao Ming's situation, so naturally he couldn't understand why Gao Ming was able to cultivate his spiritual power to such a pure level. Fortunately, he didn't know that Gao Ming had only started cultivating in the past two days, otherwise he would have already screamed and regarded Gao Ming as a ghost.
"You just stay in this room and don't go out. I'll have someone bring some food and spirit fruits. That Yin Huangmen was surprised in his heart, but his face was still as heavy as water, and he was expressionless, obviously the city was very deep.
Seeing him turn around and close the door and leave, Gao Ming was also happy to cultivate alone. At that moment, I took a look at the room, and there was a wooden bed in the house, which was not small, covered with silk and satin, embroidered with flowers, birds, and animals, and became more and more rich and compelling.
Gao Mingxin said: It's really a rich family, and the basement is so luxurious.
He was casual, and he didn't have high requirements for these things, thinking that he would refine his body for a while, and if he sat cross-legged on the bed, he wouldn't stain the brand-new cover of the master's house, so he sat cross-legged on the ground on the spot and began to use the spiritual power in his body to cultivate.
The sea of qi in his body is extremely large, needless to say, the purity of spiritual power is needless to say, and the majesty of spiritual power is also extremely rare in this world. You must know that spiritual power is an extremely precious thing in this world, and at the same time, there are too many places in the whole body that need to consume spiritual power. To refine the muscles and bones, to wash the marrow of the I Ching, to refine the acupoints, to refine the body, to refine the gods, and so on. Ordinary monks were finally able to refine some spiritual power on weekdays, and they had to think about it a lot before deciding whether to refine their spiritual power first or which part of the body refining exercises to cultivate first. It is important to know that many body refining exercises require a huge amount of spiritual power as a whole, and the vast majority of monks can only cultivate part of it separately.
But Gao Ming has no problem with this, on the one hand, he has abundant spiritual power, and secondly, this spiritual power is simple, and he has no idea of being constrained in using it. At the moment, according to what is said in those scriptures, start with the I Ching to wash the marrow, from the inside out, step by step.
Only when you lose it will you know how to cherish it.
Gao Ming has been unable to cultivate all these years, but this time he finally got the opportunity, and naturally devoted himself to cultivation wholeheartedly. That Yin Huangmen hadn't been seen since he left that day, but someone would always bring him three meals a day every day, and gave him a yacon fruit at the beginning.
The yacon fruit only grows on the snow of the plateau, it is an extremely precious thing, and the amount of spiritual energy it contains, and the purity of the spiritual energy far exceeds that of the vermilion fruit given to him by Wang Tian. Gao Ming used to play games in the past, and he was no stranger to it. In the past few days of cultivation, he had already completely refined the yacon fruit with the length of his palm into his own spiritual power, and the spiritual power in his body had already filled the entire sea of qi, and the liquid ball formed by spiritual power had become thicker and thicker.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Not to mention that Gao Ming cultivated in that unknown place, let's just say that Shen Xiu dived back to the waterway from the surface of the lake again, and when he came out again, he had already left the Shangluo City Wall. He first looked around, listened carefully to the sounds around him, and then took off his black tights, and then took out a talisman and pinched it between his thumb and forefinger. With a little use of spiritual power, the talisman turned into a fireball and floated in front of Shen Xiu, which was a "fireball talisman". Shen Xiu's face was expressionless, silently controlling the fireball to burn the black tights he had taken off into ashes, and with one hand, a water dragon sucked out from Luoshui and rushed straight to the fireball that was still burning, and it instantly turned into nothing.
Shen Xiu saw that it was clean, and then he exerted his skills, and the people rushed towards the city like big birds. Shangluo has been peaceful for a long time, and even at night, a city gate is also opened to facilitate the passage of people who come and go to transport various grain goods. Shen Xiujin did not walk in the direction of Hongdu College, but walked towards the Purple Lane on Qinglong Street.
As the name suggests, this purple lane is the place where the most dignitaries in Shangluo gather, and both sides of the lane are the prince's mansions. There are Situ Mansion Sikong Mansion, Huainan Palace, Yiyang Mansion and so on, of course, Shen Xiu's destination is Zhao Wangfu.
Shen Xiujin's Zhao Wangfu has already had a housekeeper come over. The housekeeper was obviously very familiar with Shen Xiu, and he didn't greet each other when he met, and said directly: "Lord Shen, you can be regarded as back!" There are two guests in the house, Lord Shen, if you don't come back, His Royal Highness King Zhao has been shirking bathing and changing clothes in the back house, and he has not met him. ”
"Oh, I don't know which two guests it is?"
"Lord Sima Ya of the Left Guard, Master Sima Ya, and Lord Shiqi, the general of the palace. ”
"Oh. Although Shen Xiu's face did not change, her heart was turbulent.
It is important to know that the leader of the Great Jin Forbidden Army is called the general of the Zhongling Army, and the middle and leading troops are divided into two guards on the left and right and five battalions of the front, rear, left, right, and Xiaowei, which is the most fundamental armed force of the Shangluojing Division. Although Emperor Fu Lun of Zhao is now the general of the central leading army, the commanders of the two guards on the left and right, including the five battalions of the left and right guards, are not appointed by the central leader, but by the emperor himself, so as to prevent the power of the middle and leading troops from being too powerful.
This left guard Sima Du Sima Ya has always been arrogant and self-conscious, and has never made friends with colleagues in private, so he has won the praise of the emperor and the ministers of the court. This late-night visit to King Zhao's Mansion was really unexpected. Shen Xiu had a gut feeling that something big was going to happen, and with the depth of his city, his heartbeat was much faster at this time.
"You go and invite His Royal Highness King Zhao," Shen Xiu instructed the butler, as if he was the master of King Zhao's mansion, "I'll entertain these two distinguished guests first." ”
As a generation higher than Emperor Fu Yan of Jin Wu, Emperor Zhao Huang Fu Lun is naturally extremely noble, and the furnishings in the mansion are all exquisite and gorgeous, which makes people admire. Shen Xiu has been here many times, and he is already familiar with everything here as if he is at home. The pavilion where Huangfu Lun receives guests on weekdays is gorgeously furnished, and the main seat is a brocade couch woven of peacock feathers, which is really dazzling. Next to the brocade couch, there is a crane copper furnace inlaid with eight treasures, and at this time, the crane's long pointed mouth is spitting out wisps of cigarettes, which makes people feel refreshed and happy. There are several beautiful women standing around, each flower branch looks pleasing to the show, serving tea, pouring water to add fragrance and repelling insects.
"Hahahaha, the distinguished guests are coming, Shen is late to greet him, and I hope that the two generals will forgive their sins!" Shen Xiujin's Jingge said enthusiastically with his fists clenched.
The people of Shangluo knew that Shen Xiu could almost be half of the Zhao Wangfu, and there was no surprise, so they also got up and saluted back: "I've seen Lord Shen!"
Shen Xiu knew that the one with a blushing face was Sima Ya, the left guard, and the one with a clear face and three locks of long beard under his chin was Shi Qi, the general of the palace. The three of them greeted each other for a while, and were about to sit down, when they heard the sound of footsteps in the Jing Pavilion, and when they raised their eyes, they saw a person walking in from inside, wearing a purple gold cloth crown, a white jade dragon belt wrapped around his waist, and a gown, walking in a dragon and a tiger. Although this person was born early with gorgeous hair on his head, he can have a noble face, and some gorgeous hair shows his outstanding demeanor.
"The subordinates (the last general) have seen His Royal Highness King Zhao!" Shen Xiu and the three of them hurriedly saluted when they saw this person.
"The two generals have not been far away to meet here, and they are lonely and guilty. Zhao Wang Huang Fu Lun raised his head in vain, "Hurry up and take a seat." ”
The three of them didn't dare to say anything, and when they saw Huang Fulun sitting down on the couch, they sat down separately.
"I don't know what happened to the two generals?" Shen Xiu saw that King Zhao was seated, so he opened his mouth to ask for King Zhao.
The two glanced at each other, and saw Shi Qi stand up and say to Emperor Fu Lun, King Zhao: "The last general and Lord Sima are here to confess their guilt to His Royal Highness King Zhao. ”
"Oh, what is the guilt of General Shi and General Sima?" Huang Fulun looked at Shen Xiu suspiciously, and then asked with a smile.
"The last general and General Sima are guilty of the great crime of rebellion, and they know that they deserve death, and they ask His Highness to convict them according to the law. When Shi Qi spoke again, it was a shock.
Zhao Wanghuang Fulun and Shen Xiu glanced at each other again, and they both saw a look of shock in each other's eyes. This time, it was Shen Xiu who opened his mouth and asked, "Why did General Shi make such amazing words?"
"I really don't dare to hide it from His Royal Highness King Zhao. Shi Qi said loudly, "I and the others couldn't bear to see the prince being deposed and chaotic, so they discussed together and planned to work together to rescue the prince." The last general and others knew that we and others were low-minded, so they came here to His Highness. His Royal Highness is the son of Emperor Xuan, the younger brother of Emperor Jing and Emperor Wen, and the uncle of Emperor Wu. The words have come to this point, whether to kill or chop, please let Your Highness decide with a word!"
When Huang Fulun heard Shi Qi's words, the expression on his face changed again and again. His mouth opened and closed, just "this, this, this", and finally looked at Shen Xiu with a pleading look.
Seeing this, Shen Xiu suddenly slapped his thigh, "General Shi and General Sima are really the pillars of the country! His Royal Highness King Zhao is a close relative of the clan, how could he see the world of the Huangfu family being manipulated by traitors." Since the crown prince was deposed, His Royal Highness King Zhao sighed all day long, did not think about tea and dinner, and longed to go to Kim Yong Palace to replace the prince to suffer this great crime. The prince's benevolence and filial piety are known to the world, and this matter must be done behind Najiahou's back. It's a pity that none of the three princes in the court and the princes stood up to correct the name of the prince, which allowed the conspiracy of Na Jia to succeed. Today, the two generals advocated this great righteousness, and His Royal Highness was very happy in his heart. Shen proposed, we will high-five here as an oath, and conspire to abolish Empress Jia and establish the crown prince. ”
Shi Qi and Sima Ya were overjoyed when they heard this, and the two of them and Shen Xiu high-fived each other in this pavilion and swore to the sky.
"By the way," Shen Xiu said mysteriously, "General Shi is in charge of patrolling the palace, so you have to hurry up these days." Shen got the news that there was a chamberlain in the palace who secretly brought Luo Yingjun into the palace and messed up the harem. ”
"There is such a thing?" Shi Qiyan was shocked when he heard this.
"It's true!" Shen Xiu said secretly in his heart, I just sent a young man into the palace, and I won't lie to you.
"Thank you Dean Shen for informing me, Shi is grateful. The stakes are high, so I'll go back and arrange it. After Shi Qi said that, the two of them confessed to Emperor Fulun, the king of Zhao, and left in a hurry.
"Shen Xiu," as soon as the two left, Huang Fulun's face showed a panicked look, "This is a big crime of rebellion, how to make it?"
"Your Highness, don't panic, and listen to me. Shen Xiu smiled slightly and said respectfully, "I just sent a young man into the palace tonight, and this matter is really true." ”
"Oh, so ......" Huang Fulun raised his eyebrows, and Xi Se suddenly regained his face.
"In the next few days, I will let people take a walk in Shangluo, and it will be said that Empress Jia secretly abducted the handsome young man in Shangluo and entered the backyard of the palace. Only Sima Ya and Shi Qi are far from enough, as long as the rumors spread, naturally someone will find Your Highness here. At that time, as long as you raise your arms and exhale, Shangluo responds like a cloud, I am afraid that it will be effortless, and the queen will be tied up and sent to your Highness. ”
"Hahahaha, so good, so good. The world of my Huangfu family, how can she let a person surnamed Jia come to spoil it!" Zhao Wang Huangfu Lun had already laughed heartily at this time.
