After the age of 30, the functions of the human body begin to decline.

As we age, the body's functions will become worse and worse, and the physical fitness will also decrease, and the qi and blood will begin to decline, and then decay.

Qi and blood decay, physical fitness declined, and martial arts naturally declined.

Maybe the moves will become more and more perfect over time, but without strong physical fitness and strong qi and blood coordination, the threat is much smaller.

This is also why the old man said at the beginning, let Xu Rong not waste good things.

Of course, in this martial arts world, this process is not irreversible.

Daily practice, as well as nutritional supplements, will greatly slow down the rate of decay of qi and blood, and even make many people in their seventies and eighties as strong and agile as young men.

Even after reaching the Blood Furnace Realm, even if he is old, because his qi and blood are hidden in the Blood Furnace, his combat power will not be affected much.

It is rumored that the realm above the Blood Furnace Realm can not only greatly slow down this process, but also increase a person's lifespan, making them live to be one hundred and fifty years old.

Due to the problem of the old man's family background, coupled with the previous highest realm of refining dirt, the problem of qi and blood decay has become quite serious now.

But fortunately, the old man has a foundation, and the speed of learning the Black Snake Transformation Boxing is very fast, after Xu Rong taught it a few times, the old man has a good look, and the rest is to polish the details and persevere.

After the old man is completely familiar with this set of boxing techniques, he can start practicing with snake blood.

With the old man's current physical condition, if there is no external assistance, even if he practices the Black Snake Transformation Jiaoquan, he will not be able to practice anything famous.

"Young master, the meal is ready, do you want to go eat first?"

Xiao Xing had been standing on the side for a while, but Xu Rong was instructing the old man on his boxing skills, and he didn't dare to disturb.

Seeing the two of them stop, she spoke.

After the old man punched several times, his forehead was already slightly sweaty, but his breathing was still very even, and he was even trying to adapt to the breathing method in the Black Snake Transformation Fist.

"Ah Rong, you haven't eaten yet, then you can hurry up and eat, don't worry about me, I'll figure it out myself."

Xu Rong was not reluctant, the old man had basically mastered this set of boxing techniques, and he didn't have to keep staring.

"Master, then I'm going to eat."

"Go ahead."

……

After the Black Snake incident, everything seems to be on track.

Xu Rong selected some officials with good ability and conduct from among the officials who caught fast and reached the standard, and formed his own team of cronies.

In this way, many things do not have to be done by him.

And if something happens, there are people who cheer for him.

What happened to Huo Mingjue before was purely because he didn't see clearly what kind of people under his hands were, so he suffered such an end.

Xu Rong in Xicheng District sent someone to take over again, and now he is in full power, naturally no merchant dares to disobey him, and those rich businessmen are also more regular.

"Cao Liangyuan still wants to come back?"

Xu Rong was a little surprised, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Because he was seriously injured before, I didn't bother to trouble him, I didn't expect him to try to return to the yamen? Does he think he is innocent? ”

Huo Mingjue's subordinates have all been dismissed and investigated, and the culprit Yuan Xu has been determined to be a capital offender.

Since the current annual income is not very good, it is not easy for the people to live, and the tax revenue is naturally much worse.

The yamen also did not want to bear the burden of these death row prisoners, and in a few days, these death row prisoners would be beheaded for public display.

For Xu Rong, this is also a good thing, indicating that he can harvest another wave of souls, and maybe he can get a promotion at that time.

Liu Zizai said with a smile: "This person just doesn't have any self-knowledge, since he wants to go back to the yamen, then put him in prison, he is not a good bird anyway." ”

Since no one was optimistic about it before, Liu Zizai chose to move closer to Xu Rong, so after Xu Rong took power, he also regarded him as a cronie.

Now Liu Zizai's status in the yamen is completely different from before.

In the past, he was just a little transparent, but he was older, but few people paid attention to him.

And now, who doesn't shout "Brother Liu" when they see him?

It is now Liu Zizai, who is full of red light and high spirits.

On the opposite side of Liu Zizai, Chen Xiaoer also laughed: "Speaking of which, this is also to satisfy his wishes, Brother Liu, you are really kind-hearted." ”

Chen Xiaoer was also the first to take refuge in Xu Rong, so Xu Rong also promoted him to catch fast and became his cronies.

Chen Xiaoer is young, has potential, and the most important thing is that he has a handle in Xu Rong's hands, so he can use it with confidence.

And Liu Zizi is an old oilman, he doesn't keep his hands, and many things make it more convenient for him to come forward.

Therefore, the two can be regarded as complementary.

"Okay, it's just a trivial matter, I called you two here to talk to you about something."

As soon as Xu Rong's words came out, Liu Zizai and Chen Xiaoer both restrained their smiles.

Chen Xiaoer asked with some confusion: "Head, what is so solemn?" ”

He hadn't heard anything big about anything in the city in the past few days, and even if there was a case, it was just a fight or something.

"The first thing, there seems to be a plague in Niutou Village outside the city, this matter can be big or small, if it is really a plague, then ......"

Xu Rong's words were not finished, but Liu Zizai and Chen Xiaoer both trembled.

Liu Zizi experienced it once when he was a child, and many relatives and friends died in the plague, so he had palpitations.

Although Chen Xiaoer has not experienced it personally, he has also heard from the old people in the family.

Both understand the seriousness of the problem.

Seeing the solemn expressions of the two, Xu Rong comforted: "It's not sure yet, let's not scare ourselves, didn't we say that there was a plague in the city before?" Facts have proved that it was a routine made by a few Taoist priests to scare people and make money. ”

"After the rudder of the White Lotus Sect in Linxi Town was exterminated, these people all fled, just a false alarm, maybe this time it will be the same, we will bring a few doctors later, and we will go to Niutou Village for a trip."

Although they were extremely afraid of the plague in their hearts, the two nodded yes.

Xu Rong sighed: "If it is a real plague, then it must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise once it spreads, not only will our Cangqing City suffer, but other surrounding towns and even farther places will be spread, and then there will be a big trouble." ”

Liu Zizai took a deep breath: "Head, don't be soft-hearted when the time comes, otherwise things will make a big fuss, and it won't be a village matter." ”

Xu Rong was silent, and then said: "There is one more thing, there will be a new head catcher in a few days." ”
