Scheming

Previous Chapter

Xia Laosan's life has been very bad recently, since the beginning of spring, his son Xia Qi has had a strange disease, large blue spots on his waist and legs, the whole body is like someone is holding a saw and repeatedly pulling, the huge pain makes his son lie on the bed is screaming, but the body can't move again.

In order to treat his son, Xia Laosan can be said to have begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother everywhere, not to mention spending his savings for many years, and borrowing a lot of foreign debts everywhere, which made the originally relatively wealthy family situation extremely difficult all of a sudden.

A lot of money and consultation money were spent, but the disease did not get better at all, and the best result could only be to use star power to cut off the meridians, although I no longer felt pain, but the blue spots have spread to the chest down, since yesterday, I can't even drink water, I can only rely on star power to deliver energy to the body, but how long can this last?

Several times Xia Laosan had the idea of giving up his son, but seeing his wife washing her face with tears and crying red and swollen eyes in front of her son's bed every day, she finally couldn't bear to abandon her only son.

"Daddy, kid! What can I do? Qi'er's situation is getting worse and worse, you should think of a way again! No, let's go to the county town to have a look, maybe Doctor An has other methods? I'm just such a son, if he has three longs and two shorts, how can I live? ”

"Alas! What can be done? As one of the most famous doctors in the Han Dynasty, Doctor An Shen can't cure him, who can cure him well? As for the spiritual things that the doctor said, don't even think about it, it's all fate! Alas! Hearing this, Mrs. Xia cried even more sadly, which made Xia Laosan, who was already irritable, even more irritable.

Leaving home, Xia Laosan wandered aimlessly on the street, thinking about what other ways to save his son, but he never thought that he had long been remembered by others.

"Brother Xia, Brother Xia, where are you going to go with this unruly appearance? Are you okay? Xia Laosan looked in the direction where the voice came, and it turned out to be Liu Zhong, a colleague in his yamen, who was also the clerk in charge of tax registration in the Finance and Taxation Department, but they did not have too deep contacts.

Liu Zhong's reputation is not very good in Qingyang Mansion, relying on the brother-in-law of Commander Li of the Public Security Department in the county, and often suppresses his colleagues in the division and the merchants and people in the troubled mansion, it is said that this person also makes false accounts in the tax books, which can be described as a hypocrite, and he is not even a villain.

"It turned out to be Brother Liu, what a coincidence, I just came out to hang out for a walk with nothing to do, I don't know where Brother Liu is going?" Xia Laosan asked politely.

"There's nothing important, it's just that I was drinking tea in the teahouse just now, and I happened to see Brother Xia passing by, and when I saw Brother Xia looking worried, the younger brother didn't feel at ease so he deliberately caught up and took a look, Brother Xia was still worried about the affairs of the virtuous nephew? I wonder how my nephew is doing?"

"Alas, it's getting worse and worse, and you can only resign yourself to fate! There's really nothing more you can do! Xia Laosan shook his head and sighed and said to Liu Zhong.

Liu Zhong listened to Xia Laosan's words, showing a surprised expression, and asked in a heavy tone, "So serious?" Isn't there anything the doctor can do?"

"No, unless there is a spiritual object to help, it can only be that my child is free of pain, alas! It's good that at least you can suffer less sin and walk more comfortably, and there is only so much that a father can do. ”

"Brother Xia, don't be discouraged, isn't there still a way to do this? Wouldn't it be nice if you just found a spiritual object? ”

"It's so easy to say, how can spiritual objects be encountered casually, even if it is the lowest level of cultivated spiritual objects circulating in the market, it is also a sky-high price, not to mention that there may not be anything for sale, it's just! That's it! ”

"Huh? Brother Xia doesn't have to be like this, or it's such a coincidence, I have a relative who is a master in the treasure hall of the county town, and you know the relationship between me and Commander Li of the county town. ”

"A few days ago, my relative came back to ask me to introduce and visit Commander Li because of business matters, and the conversation during the banquet talked about the recent auction of their treasure hall, which happened to have a batch of cultivated spiritual objects Fire Banyan Grass, which will be auctioned by him at the end of the month, and the master's face is still a little, with the relationship between you and me, I should let my relative keep one for you, and you only need to pay a base gold."

"Really? That's great! Xia Laosan rubbed his hands happily, as if his son was already well, but when he thought of the price of spiritual objects, his heart that had just been hot became cold, and he said with a wry smile, "Then I can't afford it, and I don't know how much this spiritual object costs?"

"How can I get 100,000 taels!"

"Oh my God, even if you sell me, you can't make it up!" Although he had been prepared in his heart, Xia Laosan was still taken aback.

"Brother Xia, didn't I say you, don't you know how to change when you guard such a large treasury? In this case, I will be a good person to the end, and come with my ears. ”

Looking at Liu Zhong in the distance, Xia Laosan's face was cloudy, this Liu Zhong really cheated on the account, just gave Xia Laosan the idea, but let Xia Laosan first embezzle the silver in the silver treasury, and then divert it from the account every month to cheat, as for the audit at the end of the year, the insufficient part will be borrowed and put in at that time, and then take it out and return it to the lender after checking the account, so that it will not take a few years to repay the 100,000 taels, of course, the premise of this is that you must join Liu Zhong's circle, after all, a person can't operate.

After listening to Liu Zhong's words, Xia Laosan understood that Liu Zhong was afraid that he had already been eyeing him, how could he do such a thing? If he did it, he was afraid that his innocence for the rest of his life would be gone, so he scolded Liu Zhong hatefully at the moment, claiming that he would never be in the same league with Liu Zhong and others, and today's incident should have never happened, if he dares to fight his own ideas in the future, he will go to the Lord Fucheng to sue him.

Liu Zhong, who was scolded, was not annoyed, just smiled lightly, and said to Xia Laosan, "Brother Xia, why should you be angry, brother, this is also for your own good, think about your son, in fact, isn't it seamless for you and me to join forces?" Still worried about not having any money? Brother Huo Rongcao, I will let people keep it for you first, after thinking about it, Brother Xia can come to me at any time, if there is no person, there will be nothing, Brother Xia think about it, brother, I will leave first, Brother Xia said goodbye. ”

Yes, if there is no person, there is nothing, this sentence really went to Xia Laosan's heart, Xia Laosan didn't say anything more, and walked home with hesitation and struggle, he needed to think about it carefully, and needed a reason that could make him make up his mind.

Compared with the entanglement with Song Laosan, Ping An is now very happy, holding a cloud in his hand, turning into style for a while, turning into rain for a while, and turning into snow for a while, which makes Song Ziheng stunned.

"Peace, how did you do that? It's amazing that you can change so casually. ”

"Hehe, don't look at who this genius is? Enlightenment, enlightenment, Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and show your guy, I have to teach you a good lesson today. ”

"Okay, let me see how your recent moves are, look at the sword!" Saying that, Song Ziheng pulled out his sword, and the star power poured into his feet, making him an inch high from the ground, and then slid quickly towards Ping'an with the sword, trying to take the advantage of the first move again.

Facing the sword stabbed by Song Ziheng, Ping An summoned a large thick layer of clouds and rain around his body, surrounding himself and Song Ziheng who rushed over.

There was a strong wind blowing in the dim clouds, and a thick wind wall was formed to hinder Song Ziheng's gliding, the wind continued to blow Song Ziheng, Song Ziheng felt that the star power he mobilized was being quickly blown away by the wind, and he had to keep running more star power to bless his body, so as to maintain his current posture and continue to slide forward.

Looking at Song Ziheng, who was trapped in the clouds and resisting the speed of the wind, Ping An continued to control the water vapor in the clouds, making it more uneven, and at the same time constantly shrinking the water vapor, so that the wind around him brought a silky drizzle.

The speed of the wind and the blowing of the drizzle, Song Ziheng's star power was consumed faster, and his body began to slowly retreat, according to this situation, defeat was only a matter of time.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and on the edge of the passage formed by the wind, the cyan tracks were connected into lines, and subtle lightning-like sparks continued to emerge from all around.

It seems that this peace has really not been practiced in vain recently, but I am not idle, let you see how good I am! Song Ziheng thought in his heart, mobilized all his star power, stepped on the ground with his feet and straightened his body, and slowly raised the sword in his hand.

With Song Ziheng's movements, there was a bright white sword qi around the sword body, and Song Ziheng held the sword full of sword qi, and the movements were fast and powerful and continuously slashed around.

Between raising his hand and falling from the sword, the sword qi that was wrapped around the sword took the lead in leaving the sword, drawing out the cloud and rain layers that Ping An had recruited, and the flow of the wind was also cut off, and the sharp strokes also directly cut off Ping'an's star power transmission to the cloud and rain layers around Song Ziheng.

The wind and rain became no longer continuous and began to drift around, and the bright sunlight shone in from the openings that constantly appeared and had no time to be repaired, so that this dim space was covered with dazzling pillars of light, just like a burlap bag was poked out of holes one by one, and the safe cloud and rain space was obviously a failure.

Looking at Song Ziheng, who kept swinging his sword towards him, Ping An stopped continuing to output star power to construct and repair the cloud and rain space, such an output was far less fast than Song Ziheng's destruction, and would only make himself become busy and consume star power in vain.

In terms of the current star power feedback and the sensory application of Ping'an's move, he can't resist Song Ziheng's sharp sword qi at all, after all, Ping'an has not been transmitting the law of perception to the star for a long time, and he has just begun to ponder.

Ping An looked at the figure on Song Ziheng's astral body as if it was about to break through the sky through the star power, and the figure was also moving in the same way with Song Ziheng's movements, and the sword moves were more sharp and natural, and a stream of unclear and inexhaustible laws and laws were reflected in the figure.

And the scene on his own star body is like the cloud and rain layer that trapped Song Ziheng, the dark clouds all over the entire star body are scattered piece by piece, and the falling raindrops have long since disappeared, and the distribution and compression range of water vapor under his control are also chaotic with the chaos of star power.

"Hahaha, peace, how's it going? I don't have a vain practice, I advise you, also find a weapon to practice well, there is star power in the air, how can you do it without a powerful carrier? After all, how can a human body be compared to a sword? Song Ziheng scattered the last clouds and looked at Ping An proudly.

"Drink, I don't see that your kid is quite a bit of a two, look at the changes in your astral body, did your father give you something good?"

"Hehe, the sword spectrum left by the authentic great sage, our Song family is also a well-known wealthy family, and good things will naturally not be bad, how about it? Would you like to lend it to you for a few days?"

"Pull it down, I don't want to be hunted down by your family, you better keep it for yourself, don't be too complacent, I'm not defeated yet!"

"What? Still fighting? Come on, let the horse come, and see how this sword god breaks your moves, ah... Hey! Song Ziheng returned to his original position and raised his head, grabbed a sword flower, pinched his fingers and pointed the sword to Ping'an.

"It's not good to fight hard, this guy's sword qi is not so easy to deal with, and his own defense can't play much role at present, even if he attacks may not be sharp, he has to think of another way to deal with him." Ping An stared at Song Ziheng and touched his chin and thought.

"Hey! Are you going to fight or not? What are you thinking there? I don't know, I thought you lost your soul, and if you don't beat me, you can leave. Song Ziheng held his sword and waited for a long time but didn't see a safe shot, and couldn't help shouting impatiently.

After listening to Song Ziheng's words, Ping An suddenly laughed, looked Song Ziheng up and down a few times, and actually rushed towards Song Ziheng, looking at Ping An, who was not good at close combat, rushing towards him, Song Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't understand what happened to this Ping An at all? Is it because you can't beat yourself stupid?

Song Ziheng put the sword across his chest, stood firm, and prepared to respond to all changes with the same, waiting for Ping An to get close to him before giving him a hard blow, he wanted to see what kind of demon E'e this Ping An was going to do!

Ping An looked at Song Ziheng with the horizontal sword in front of him, and when he was still seven steps away from him, Ping An mobilized all his star power and let his star body snow fall with goose feathers, and at the same time, he himself disappeared in front of Song Ziheng's eyes, leaving only goose feather-like snowflakes flying around.

Snowflakes in the sky, flying in the sky, old-fashioned moves, old-fashioned feelings.

Song Ziheng has to admit that this out-of-season scenery is indeed beautiful, and I don't know what kind of beauty it will be when it is used in summer? But Song Ziheng knew that Ping'an's position was in front of his left, he had already sensed the breath of Ping'an, it seemed that he had won today, Song Ziheng took the sword and quickly shot it towards the position in front of his left, wanting to shoot Ping'an again.

"I said peace, why is this trick again, your flaws are too much..." Before the words were finished, Song Ziheng's sword had already scattered the snowflakes, but where was the figure of peace where the snowflakes were scattered?

Song Ziheng's eyes widened, and he hurriedly swung his sword in a circle and swept around, but it was already too late.

Ping An punched with a cyan wheal, and when Song Ziheng swung his sword and swept straight ahead, Ping An still hit Song Ziheng's waist from the left front position.

Song Ziheng, who didn't have time to call back, could only mobilize the star power in a hurry, and supported a layer of protection in his waist, in the direction where Ping An was calling, but the effect of the protective layer was only to reduce part of the impact, and in the end he was stumbled by Ping An, and his body fell down on his side.

Song Ziheng's reaction was also agile enough, and when Ping'an's second punch was about to hit him, he quickly rolled on the ground a few times with the aftermath of the fall, supported it with one hand, kicked hard under his feet, and jumped back violently, and at the same time the sword in his hand also swept in the direction of Ping'an, which made Ping'an, who was ready to continue the attack, have to hide in the snow again.

Song Ziheng continued to kick backwards and jump, and at the same time used the star power in his whole body, to guard against and search for peace, until there was no snowflake fluttering around him, Song Ziheng stood still, holding his sword to look around and sense, with the lesson just now, he didn't dare to guarantee that it would be safe where there were no snowflakes.

"Hey, I won this time, right? If I had a knife in my hand just now, you would have been finished! Why roll so much? Hahaha. Ping An looked at the gray-faced Song Ziheng with disgust, and a figure appeared from behind him, gloating.

"You scumbag, play yin! Otherwise, how could you have beaten me? Song Ziheng slapped his dirty clothes with his hands in annoyance.

"This is a soldier who is not tired of deceit, who will stand there and fight you with a sword? But don't you see, you kid is getting better and better. ”

"Okay, if you win, what happened to you? I sensed that you were there, and I'm sure I hit you, so why did it end up hitting a snowflake?"

"Lose your soul, lose your soul, I just put all my consciousness into one place, and used star power to imitate my own breath there, but my body is hidden somewhere else, and what you hit is just the consciousness body that I deliberately made you perceive."

"So that's the case, Ping'an, you're too smart, I'll go back and try it too, count you lucky today, wait for the next time we'll compare again, go, go, go home and change your clothes." After speaking, Song Ziheng walked home with an excited face, and couldn't wait to try a safe method, but how could people be the same?

Looking at Song Ziheng who was leaving, Ping An decided to choose a weapon to take advantage of, and at the same time strengthen the physical exercise and time to practice martial arts.

In the absence of strong star power, no matter how many changes in perception there are, they can't compete with people's solid skills and quick response, today's victory is just a fluke, and Song Ziheng, who is on guard in the future, will not be easily fooled.
