Chapter 20: Life Regrets ()
It has been almost ten days since the Midyear Festival, since Chen Deshang came to see Xu Changqing once on the evening of the Midyear Festival, he took his family and set off for Shanghai on the third day. The reason why Chen Deshang came to disturb Xu Changqing so late was mainly because of the letter he asked Jin Yunpeng to take to the north, which put forward some conditions, one of which was that after the Chen family assisted Yuan Shikai to return to power, he was not allowed to extend his influence to the south of the Yangtze River. He felt that he had put forward this article a bit too much, thinking that Yuan Shikai might not agree, so that the opportunity for reconciliation would be lost in vain, and he was in a rough mood, so he came to Xu Changqing and wanted to consult his opinion and ask for peace of mind.
However, in Xu Changqing's opinion, Chen Deshang's condition is not too much at all, even if it is too much, Yuan Shikai at this moment will also agree. He is now being looked down upon by the old lady in the Forbidden City, and he really needs outside assistance to help him, otherwise he would not have sent Duan Qirui to find the Chen family, and asked Duan Qirui to send Jin Yunpeng to Guangzhou to seek funding from several powerful businessmen. However, after all, Cixi broke out of the palace of life and death, and she took Yuan Shikai's small actions to heart, and when Duan Qirui left Tianjin on the front foot, she replaced Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang, who had a good relationship with the Chen family, and reassigned Zhang Renjun as the governor of Liangguang.
Zhang Renjun was born in Jinshi, is quite capable, is known as a thousand miles of horses, and is an out-and-out royalist. After he arrived as the governor of Liangguang, he began to vigorously suppress the revolutionary party, and used this as an excuse to set up various obstacles for Jin Yunpeng, so that those businessmen who had expressed their willingness to support Yuan Shikai temporarily changed their minds, so that Jin Yunpeng returned in vain. In addition, he also sent the master of Da Nei assigned to him by Cixi to set up an ambush to assassinate Jin Yunpeng, so that Jin Yunpeng fled from the land of Liangguang and fled to Chen Jiachong for refuge. It's just that he didn't expect that the misfortune and fortune depended on, and when he arrived at Chen Jiachong, he instead asked him to do what Duan Qirui couldn't do in person, and formed an alliance with the Chen family.
The Meng family has been abandoned by Yuan Shikai, coupled with Cixi's strict defense, so that Yuan Shikai must not have a master who can look at his appearance, and he must not know that he is a dormant dragon at the moment, although there are some twists and turns, there will inevitably be the possibility of a comeback. It is precisely because Yuan Shikai can't see his future clearly, so at this moment, the Chen family is like a life-saving straw for him, no matter what, he will catch it to the death, and he will agree to any conditions, but it is not necessary to comply with it afterwards. In fact, Chen Deshang never thought that Yuan Shikai would obediently abide by the conditions in the letter, and the reason why he put forward these conditions was just a disguised humiliation of Yuan Shikai. With the strength of the Chen family, even if Yuan Shikai holds the power in the north, it is absolutely impossible for him to expand his power to the south, not to mention that there is a revolutionary army in the south that the Chen family is preparing to secretly support.
After getting Xu Changqing's Jianyi, Chen Deshang, who had settled down, led Chen Tao and others and several important aunts and wives, left Chen Jiachong, and went north along the Yangtze River to Shanghai, one is for Chen Tao's family affairs, and the other is to inspect the industries in the east, and at the same time talk to some Americans in Shanghai about the acquisition of American industrial plants.
At present, among the several children of the Chen family, the eldest son Chen Jingguo is in charge of managing the Chen family's overseas industries in Europe in the United Kingdom, and he has done a good job, and he has married a countess of the French royal family, breaking into the upper circle of Europe. Needless to say, the second son Chen Fan joined the revolutionary army with enthusiasm and became the backbone of it, but his luck was not good, and he was trapped in Guangzhou and failed to make a big difference. The third son, Chen Zhenshan, became a Shanghai tycoon with his own strength, which can be regarded as an outlier of the Chen family. The fourth son, Chen Zhangping, runs between Shanghai and Hong Kong, is responsible for all the businesses of the Chen family, and is also the heir of the Chen family's Huaxia industry in the future. The eldest daughter, Chen Huilan, is now studying in Japan, studying Western medicine, and has met many enlightened people, including Ms. Qiu Jin, a Jianhu heroine who is also greatly admired by Chen Deshang and Xu Changqing.
At the beginning of this year, Ms. Qiu Jin returned to China to serve as the supervisor of Datong School, Chen Deshang made a special trip to Daohe, and Xu Changqing did not hesitate to be contaminated with the disaster, and left Chen Jiachong with Chen Deshang to attend the opening ceremony. At that time, Xu Changqing had a long talk with Ms. Qiu Jin on the future trend of the country, and his current Ms. Qiu Jin's views on the current situation are extremely consistent with the Chinese luck he observed.
At that time, Xu Changqing looked at her face and felt that she had a bloody disaster, but unfortunately at that time, because she was worried about the catastrophe of heaven and earth in her heart, her divine sense was covered with dust, and all the methods of fortune telling and fortune telling lost their original role and failed to calculate her fortune. It wasn't until the news of Ms. Qiu Jin's arrest reached Chen Jiachong a month ago that Xu Changqing was shocked by the severity of the matter, but unfortunately, before he and Chen Deshang could come to the rescue, Ms. Qiu Jin was harmed by the Qing court in Shaoxing. This incident has become Xu Changqing's lifelong regret, so much so that he often sighs that there is one less heroine in the land of China who is far better than men. Perhaps it was precisely because of Qiu Jin's death that Chen Deshang also completely lost trust in the Qing court and turned to fully support the revolutionary party.
For his youngest son, Chen Deshang did not plan to let him waste time by his side, and was ready to buy a few factories in North America and hand them over to Chen Tao to take care of. As early as after the failure of the reform, Chen Deshang learned from Xu Changqing that the catastrophe of heaven and earth was coming, and he had a plan to separate all the industries, so as not to concentrate them all in one basket and lose their eggs. At that time, in addition to expanding his industry in Europe, he also invested in dozens of businesses in the United States, and over the years, some investments were lost and some were profitable. This time, Chen Deshang also felt that a big war was about to break out in the land of China, so he listened to Xu Changqing's construction, and after Chen Tao got married, he asked them and his wife to go to the United States to take over the industry there, so as to avoid the disaster of war.
On the night of the Midyear Festival, after Chen Deshang left, Xu Changqing did not refine the spirit treasure according to the original plan. For those families, writing an article depends on the mood, and for cultivators, refining a spiritual treasure depends on the mood. Due to Chen Deshang's disturbance, Xu Changqing was not in the mood to refine the spirit treasure, and after putting all the refining materials into his sleeve, he began to study the Meng family's dragon search acupoint technique that he had just obtained today.
Generations of nine-stream idlers have collected a lot of numerology books, and every few generations there will be a successor who is proficient in numerology to classify these classic books and create a method of numerology deduction suitable for their own use. When the first generation of Yizhuang owner inadvertently got a volume of the dragon point point technique of the remnant, he through the guò remnant and the same kind of Kanyu Feng Shui classics, the dragon search in the dragon point technique was sorted out, and according to this set of ** for the Chen family ancestors to find a hidden dragon hole. If the owner of Yizhuang at that time could learn the other half of the dragon point point technique, then he could point the hidden dragon into a rising dragon, so that the Chen family's luck could reach the limit of the Ninety-Five, replace the Manchu Dynasty, and sit on the world. It's a pity that in the end, this hidden dragon's lair failed to wield all its power, and the owner of Yizhuang could only let the Chen family dig an artificial river to flow through the Chen family, forming a thin water and a long flow of water, so that the Chen family could be rich and prosperous for a long time.
It is precisely because the hidden dragon cave failed to be lit that the first generation of Yizhuang owners deeply regretted it, and before leaving, the dragon search point technique that obtained the whole book at any price was also written into the door rules. Hu Yueniang just ate the persistence of the owners of Yizhuang in the past dynasties, so that the relationship between her and Xu Changqing eased a little, and when it comes to mastering human nature, Xu Changqing is indeed slightly inferior to Hu Yueniang.
The whole dragon search point technique is not very long, except for the first half of the dragon hunting ** which is only used as a reference, the second half of the book with illustrated books all adds up to only twenty-eight pages, and Xu Changqing only took one night to completely memorize it. The content of the second half of the acupoints** includes dragons, Jiao, pythons, turtles, tigers, Nandou, Beidou, three killings and other eight kinds of acupoint techniques, each acupoint technique points out of the Yin House, the role is different, in addition to three kinds of acupoint breaking techniques and a pulse detection technique.
For Xu Changqing, getting the Dragon Searching Point Acupoint Technique was just to fulfill a last wish of his ancestors, and what really interested him was indeed the Pulse Observation and Qi Exploration Technique in the Dragon Searching Point Acupoint Technique. The only **Zhou Tianling sign** used by the nine-stream idlers to observe the luck of heaven and earth is **, although this ** can accurately grasp the trend of heaven and earth luck, but the waste of Jindan Zhenyuan is also very much, no less than with an opponent of equal strength, desperate. However, for the Kanyu Feng Shui family, even if there is no Taoist support, just relying on the naked eye and a compass can clearly grasp the luck of heaven and earth, which is the long-coveted Kanyu technique of Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing drew for one night and memorized all the dragon search point techniques, and then spent ten days to test the effect of the Pulse Observation Qi Detection Technique, which did not hesitate to spend Jindan Zhenyuan and used a Zhou Tianling signature method to confirm whether the results of the Pulse Observation and Qi Detection Technique were consistent. The final result made Xu Changqing very satisfied, although the pulse observation technique alone could not achieve the precise effect of Zhou Tianling's signing method, but if he added his own divine eyes, then his grasp of the direction of the qi veins was definitely not under Zhou Tianling's signing method, and the required Jindan Zhenyuan was only a drop in the bucket compared to the loss of Zhou Tianling's signing method.
These days, in order to verify the pulse and qi detection technique, Xu Changqing has traveled almost all the mountains around Chen Jiachong, due to the repeated opening of the divine eye, the loss of true yuan is great, fortunately, because he has obtained a large amount of merit a few days ago, he has made a breakthrough in Jindan**, which enables him to support it. However, to his delight, due to the frequent opening of the Divine Eye, he had gradually adapted to the discomfort of opening the Divine Eye, and with time, with enough True Yuan and more practice, he believed that the Divine Eye would open and close as lightly as an ordinary eye.
The statue of Emperor Guan, who practiced the Shi family's divine fighting, had been sent to Yizhuang three days ago, and because he had been working hard to integrate the Meng family's dragon search point acupoint technique into his own Dao method, he did not have time to start the cultivation of the Shi family's divine fighting. This statue of Emperor Guan is worthy of being worshiped by the Green Gang for two hundred years, and almost all of the disciples of the Green Gang in the past generations are outlaws, and the fierce spirit in their hearts is better than that of the soldiers who came out of the killing field, and this kind of fierce atmosphere from thousands of outlaws is also integrated into the statue of Emperor Guan when worshipping Emperor Guan. When Xu Changqing took over the statue of Emperor Guan, he immediately felt that the palm of his hand was extremely painful as if it was cut by a knife, and the statue of the Open Heaven Eye was surrounded by a layer of blood-red evil qi, which was so thick that it was about to turn into substantial plasma, and this originally righteous Emperor Guan also seemed to have become extremely fierce.
Xu Changqing placed the statue of Emperor Guan under the avenue diagram in the side room, and was suppressed by the Dao power in the avenue diagram to prevent any abnormalities, and when the yin and yang were exchanged in two days, he could start to cultivate the first product of the Shi family's divine fight. For Chen Zhenshan, a registered disciple, Xu Changqing was not prepared to let him do things in vain, and picked out the best ten sword talismans from his Dao talismans and asked the people of Xinglong to bring them back to him. When you need to use it, as long as you burn the talisman paper to ashes and swallow it, you can be invulnerable to other parts of the body except for the weak cover doors such as the eyes, lower genitals, and ears, and even a pistol cannot cause damage.
This is a kind of Taoist talisman that Xu Changqing himself has figured out, and the root is the vajra talisman of the White Lotus Sect next to the Buddhist Gate, which is said to have been created by Tang Sai'er, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Changqing took the Vajra talisman to delete some flashy Buddhist golden light spells, added a little Taoist spirit gathering spell, and turned the vajra talisman that could only last less than one hour into a sword talisman that could last for twelve hours. Chen Zhenshan took more than ten of them when he went to Shanghai, and the Chen family's nursing masters, as well as some of the Chen family's children who were assigned dangerous tasks, also liked this kind of talisman very much, and every time he traveled, he would bring a few, and this kind of sword talisman became the best-selling talisman among the thousands of runes in Xu Changqing's hands.
Unlike other Yizhuang owners, since Xu Changqing took over Yizhuang, he has never used a penny of the Chen family's silver, and all his expenses are earned by himself, which is also the only place where Chen Deshang is dissatisfied with Xu Changqing, which makes Chen Deshang feel a little estranged from the owner of Yizhuang. Xu Changqing's main source of silver, in addition to the annual remuneration for helping those Xiangxi corpse chasers and other Daomen colleagues to solve problems, the ten orders of the Spring Shangyuan Festival every year are also one of his main sources of silver. Many businessmen who have a good relationship with Chen Deshang will spend a lot of money to ask Xu Changqing to approve their lives, and each batch of lives is almost enough for Xu Changqing's expenses for a year.
This is Xu Changqing's deliberate doing, he just wants to get his main luck out of the Chen family's luck without knowing it, obviously this decision made when inheriting Yizhuang is very correct. When the catastrophe fell, the Chen family's luck began to fall back to a stable point because of the relationship between the Yin House, but Xu Changqing's luck has been rising, and it has risen to the extreme recently. In this way, Xu Changqing could not only use the Chen family to block the catastrophe, but also not be affected by the weakening of the Chen family's qi vein, so that he could complete the first step of safely surviving the catastrophe of heaven and earth.
