Chapter 44: Difficult and difficult
After Chen Jing finished meditating, he pushed open the window to ventilate, the turbidity was really unpleasant, after meditating at home a few years earlier, Chen Jing, who had some cleanliness problems, wanted to clean the room thoroughly, and he had to bathe and change clothes to finish the matter, but after many times, he hated the trouble, and knew that "fish and bear paws cannot be both", and it was enough to disperse the turbidity.
Master has some methods for clearing and removing pollution, such as some talismans, or a magic weapon to devour filth, but he couldn't get it, Dong Chuanhai knew this and laughed at him afterwards, "You can't bear such a little thing, what are you still practicing?" It's rare to be a rich family. ”
It is also a teenager a few years older that he completely understands how vicious the old man's words were, and that cultivation is to temper suffering, if the mind is not firm and wants to seek other methods, and it becomes, others will naturally have nothing to say, but there will still be a sentence or two of criticism, if it is not successful, the words "lazy people have a lot of things" cannot be shaken off when pressed on the body.
When he was a child, he was beaten with a medicine barrel, which made him think that the master would pave the cultivation path smoothly, as long as he had the belief not to give up, he would break through the realm all the way, and it would be a matter of course.
Juveniles have innocence, and innocence is also innocence.
On the other hand, Cui Niu, cleanliness or anything has never appeared on her.
When she was a child, she changed her dirty old clothes back and forth, and she washed them very few times, and because of her fast growth, her clothes couldn't wrap her body, which was bought for her by the master in his eyes.
Cui Niu thinks it's nothing by herself, isn't it all cloth, why can't she wear it?
Chen Jing still remembers that after Cui Ying meditated, she hiccuped and spit out a breath of turbidity, sniffed her nose, and said to Chen Jing on the other side with a smile: "Xiaojing, do you smell it, do you look like a fart?" ”
In the next few months, after Chen Jing meditated, he could immediately recall Cui Niu's words, diaphragm should be killed.
Now that many years have passed, the teenager who used to be clean has improved slightly, and he turned his head to look at Cui Niu who continued to sit paralyzed, and the casual girl before was as usual.
Cui Ying yawned, spat out wine, and said lazily: "I don't believe that Master didn't tell you when I went out." ”
Chen Jingdao: "What to say?" ”
Cui Ying bent her knees on the armrests and faced the man, "Practice." Now that the bottleneck of the Naling period is that daily meditation cannot break through that barrier, it is not that it is useless, but that unless it takes a few years, it can only be promoted to the next realm by accumulating more with less.
The old man didn't tell me that the old man didn't tell me that the north side of Nanyuzhou would help us break the mirror, but it doesn't make sense that you, the little housekeeper, don't know, since you have that kind of good thing, why are you still the same, meditating day and night without interruption? ”
There were no outsiders, there were only two men and women in the house, Chen Jing rarely used Dong Chuanhai's tone to point at her and laugh, "Look at what you can endure, why don't you sleep until you reach the Ascension Realm." ”
This tone made Cui Ying furious, slapped Chen Jing's fingers away, and glared at him, "Talking about the matter, Master didn't tell me, and you didn't tell me?" ”
Chen Jing smiled lightly, "Where did I hide so many things from you, I have a habit of meditation, and I also have the wisdom of drought and flood protection, although it is almost nothing when it comes to the bottleneck period, one point counts as one point, but I don't dare to dislike it, don't blame others for being lazy, the master is not talking in your ear, most of the time it is clear, and you should not be able to control your lazy nature when you go out." ”
He closed his eyes and slowly recalled the master's original words, and said in a casual tone: "As for the so-called realm-breaking things, after you get to the north, you will soon know, don't think too much and don't ask too much, don't worry about your brain, anyway, you can't lack your share." ”
One hand slapped on Cui Ying's calf, "To put it mildly, you and I will break through the realm just around the corner." ”
In contrast, Cui Ying, who was quite a little untouched, seemed careless, "Qi refining realm, I don't know if it's fun?" ”
Chen Jing pursed his lips, "You can think of anything to play, obviously at this age, you are still childish, so that outsiders don't have to see jokes." ”
Cui Ying picked up the pocket teapot on the coffee table, and poured a sip into the spout regardless of whether it was overnight or not, "Xiaojing, tell me that Master is not here, I can only listen to you." ”
After finishing speaking, he shook his head, and his mouth burst out of his mouth.
Chen Jing pointed to the "masterpiece" she had just made on his arm, with a look of anger, and the latter smiled apologetically and slapped it away, not feeling the loss, "Hurry up and talk about it." ”
The man said helplessly: "Qi refining, as the name suggests, refining true qi." Absorb spiritual power during the Naling period, only care about the amount or less, regardless of the pure and miscellaneous, to a certain extent, such as you and I are now, the bottleneck is not before and after, forcibly admit the spirit, and the spiritual power piled up also has a refining effect, but unfortunately the effect is not good, compared to the Qi refining period, it is really not worth mentioning. ”
Cui Ying didn't hear what she wanted to hear, so she opened her mouth and asked, "What kind of qi refining?" ”
Chen Jing smiled and said, "It's okay as before, at least that's what Master said." During the spiritual period, the 'work is half the work', and when it comes to the qi refining period, the 'work' will be a few points stronger, and the small world in the body, the qi house, and the spiritual veins have also expanded. ”
Cui Ying listened to it in a daze, only the front was the focus she wanted to hear, since there was no need for any additional precautions during the Qi refining period, then she could continue to be "happy".
Yawned again, this time Cui Ying, who was squeezed out of tears, didn't hold on anymore, and fell on the bed in Xiaojing's room, and immediately snored happily.
Chen Jing took out the inn quilt and covered her, as for the pillow and taking off the boots, forget it, she has been rough since she was a child, and she can take care of her more when she goes out, Cui Niu will not worry about other people's subtle kindness to her, and Chen Jing does not want to be pretentious to the point of making her feel strange.
It's business as usual.
Whether in terms of region or population, Linyue Bay is not as good as the title of "house", but when it comes to taxation, it can be called the capital of Chuqiu, but according to the few words that circulated in the court, it should be taken into account that Linyue Bay is far from the "clear stream and clear name", and the capital finally fell elsewhere, so that some people who have interests in Linyue Bay are shocked, and profit and fame cannot be both.
Early in the morning, in the hall of the government office, all the errands of the public gate were present, and there were many officials who had passed the hour and had not yet arrived at the time of the errand.
If it weren't for the arrest of the Jiangyang thief whose reputation has spread all over the country, or if there has just been a tragedy that angers and resentment, the people in the government and the public gate will not come to the court early.
However, there are no people outside the yamen today, and above the lobby, all the errands in the yamen are present, and even the prefect who has always been easy to show up has arrived, which is not simple.
Governor Li first sent his subordinate adjutant to investigate, and while waiting in the lobby, he recalled what Jiang Xiaozi brought back, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he got up from the wooden chair with his butt on fire, and paced back and forth between a few feet.
Seeing the prefect like this, the few people in the lobby who were afraid of no eyesight all stood up, and as for the officials, they who had never had a seat had no worries about arrogance today.
Governor Li suddenly stopped, his chest rose and fell, and said, "That old horseman, did you really say that you would only give a three-day deadline?" ”
Jiang Xiao, who was guarded by other colleagues, said stubbornly: "That's right, master, that person only gave a three-day deadline, and said that as soon as the deadline passed, he would pick it casually, maybe it was a couple, maybe it was the government office, or maybe he would find the couple and then find the government office." ”
"Too much deception!"
Governor Li flicked his sleeves and swept away all the items on the coffee table.
Then he began to scold, "The dignified grandmaster acts like this, I don't know what his face is.
It has long been rumored that this old man is a person who likes to blackmail others in the rivers and lakes, and it is true when I see it today.
The thief is really blind, and let this kind of despicable villain learn advanced martial arts to run rampant in all directions, and die in the wilderness as soon as possible to live up to the right path in the world. ”
In the face of the prefect's anger, everyone in the hall was uneasy, on one side was the grandmaster, on the other side was the Shangguan "Emperor of the Soil", both sides could not be persuaded to move, there was no way to get the best of both worlds, and if they wanted to be a peacemaker, it was good to be scolded for being a dog blood spray.
The adjutant who was sent out by the prefect to do business hurried back, came to the prefect and whispered a few times, and the prefect, who was already angry, looked even more gloomy, "Chenghuang doesn't pay attention to it?" ”
The adjutant pondered for a moment in his heart, and then said: "Chenghuang has always only been in charge of the yin, and he never dares to cross the affairs of the yang, it is too taboo, if there is a will from above, he will naturally act without taboo, but ......"
The prefect spoke for him, "It's too late at this time, the three-day deadline given by the old puppet is too hasty for us, and besides, mobilizing the Yin official to deal with the grandmaster is not a good thing, and it may not be able to suppress the old puppet." ”
Thinking of something, Governor Li raised his head and said to the group of officials: "I heard that there are strong crossbows in the armaments of the border army, and even the most skilled grandmasters dare not be shot by the strong crossbows in front of them.
I don't have the right to call the border army here, if I just borrow a batch of armaments and return it immediately after the incident, with my friendship with the flying general, it is still feasible, what do you think of this matter? ”
Jiang Xiao was itching all over, there were people with titles in the lobby, one was counted as one, and they were all staring at themselves, and these bastards around them also looked like they were "asking for advice", and it was nothing more than being surrounded by evil wolves.
Seeing that she couldn't cope with pretending to be crazy and stupid, Jiang Xiaopi, who was twisted like a little girl, said with a smile: "Master, having a strong crossbow can be regarded as increasing the bargaining chips to negotiate conditions with that person, that is, it's ......."
The prefect's eyebrows furrowed, "What's it?" Say! ”
Jiang Xiao, who felt that he had been fried for a round, also let go, "That person is okay if he talks a little about the morality of the rivers and lakes, but it may not be as we wish, even if he holds a strong crossbow and waits for it, but if that person plans to 'capture the thief and capture the king first'......"
Jiang Xiao saw his master sitting on the wooden chair, pointing out the door, and let out an angry roar from his throat, "Get out!" Get out of here! ”
If the officials who have been pardoned run out in a swarm, this hall is really not a place for people to stay, and if you are not careful, you will be affected by the fish in the pond.
They knew about this from the beginning, but they all acted according to the orders of the gods, and now it can be called a disaster, God knows if the prefect will randomly launch a few to sacrifice to the sky to vent his anger.
The couple is also a skilled person, otherwise there would be no reputation of "male and female", "dragon and phoenix thief" outside, and even in recent years, there have been thieves who pretend to be their husband and wife to steal chivalrous things, some have been caught and some have escaped, but they have not been confirmed by the real couple and the two.
Since coming to Linyue Bay, the couple took the initiative to find the prefect, and what they said was not clear, but now it seems that they should seek refuge, and the old line should continue to do it, and by the way, every time they succeed, they will give the government office, mainly the prefect's "dividends".
These local snakes who operate cheap labor can occasionally get a piece of the pie, not every time, and they don't have the capital or the face to share the spoils with the prefect, but every time they get money, they have to be much heavier than usual, and over time, the couple has the hidden title of "Little God of Wealth", so the government is willing to help hide their past.
Clustered out of the mansion, came to the corner of the alley, Jiang Xiao and a few colleagues leaned against the wall and gasped, after looking left and right at a few people, Jiang Xiao, who even shrugged his shoulders, opened his mouth and scolded: "You dogs, you know to put me on the fire to roast, do you know that Lao Tzu just wanted to prepare for the future, yesterday Lao Tzu was generous, talk to that person, and this morning he also stepped forward to talk to the prefect with Lao Tzu, why don't you just do it, put me in a sack, tie a stone and throw it into the river, so that Lao Tzu doesn't feel aggrieved when he dies." ”
A person next to him patted him on the back in a fake way, "Oh, it's not for the brothers, it's embarrassing for you, and the big guy won't be so tormented." ”
Jiang Xiao pointed at his nose and scolded: "You still have the face to say, do you know how difficult Lao Tzu was just now?"
Lao Tzu felt that he was going to be thrown into the river to feed the fish at any time, I guessed, the master gave an order, and you dogs will not hesitate to tie me up immediately. ”
The thief-eyed guy on the other side laughed apologetically, "Okay old ginger, it's still the old rules, this time I put you on top, I didn't say it, good brothers naturally have to have a good pomp, and when this matter is over, you can pick the boat." ”
Jiang Xiao turned around and pointed at a few people with his finger, "Each person has a flower wine, if you don't come, the two of you will be counted as well, if you don't go to the wind and snow, my brother and I can't find the soul that was scared away." ”
Several people said compliments, "Definitely, definitely!" If you don't have a soul, is it still a human being? No! If you don't accompany your good brother to find your soul, can you be called a brother? Dogs don't deserve it! ”
"Jiang Xiao." Someone shouted behind him.
"What to do? I'm not available! ”
For a day and a night, Jiang Xiao, who was passive in everything, was extremely unhappy, and scolded without turning around.
It's just that when he saw that it was the adjutant, he immediately lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head to obey the order.
The adjutant looked displeased, and did not reproach him, and said in a slightly stiff tone: "Come in with me, the master has something to say to you." ”
Jiang Yuan sighed again and again in his heart, "Damn, it's endless." ”
Out of the mansion, Jiang Yuan, who looked gloomy, squatted on the bank of the river, the boss in his heart was not happy, but he could only complain, pulled up a piece of dog tail and stuffed it in his mouth, pantothenic acid juice made him more vigilant, it is better to live in the moment than to be cleaned up after doing nothing.
"Why don't you let Lao Tzu go?"
Thinking back to what the old man explained just now, it shouldn't have been done by Xiao Xiaoyu, but he didn't dare to think about it deeply, what if he thought about it thoroughly, it would only make him more embarrassed, and it was better to be confused and obey orders.
Give yourself a slap in the face, it will be unfavorable for the passing year, and you can't get rid of it, there should be such a time.
Turn your head and look at the pedestrians on the road, since you are unlucky enough, then find an unlucky person to "enjoy" with you.
Looking ahead, he happened to recognize it, walked forward quickly, and said in a warm tone like every other three autumns: "Aren't these the three brothers of the Qiu family." ”
