Xu Dong's place of meeting the ministers of civil and military affairs this time was in the "Hall of Transforming Gas", and when the end of the hour was about to enter, Xu Dong and the father-in-law on duty shoveled into the "Hall of Transforming Gas", and the ministers of civil and military affairs in the hall knelt on the ground to perform the courtesy of the king.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”

Xu Dongyi raised his hand, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

After all the ministers were separated on the left and on the right, Xu Dong glanced at everyone with blazing eyes, and in this unhurried glance, the expressions on the faces of some ministers were captured by him.

These ministers had received the news in advance that from tomorrow, the emperor would be in retreat in the underground secret room of the 'Shouqiao Palace' for two months, so now everyone is ready to take advantage of this court meeting to report anything.

Shovel used his eunuch voice to routinely preach, "The civil and military officials have something to do early, and they have nothing to do to retreat." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Li, the secretary of the ministry, was the first to play, "Minister Xu Li reported to the emperor the trial of Guo Yan's case, and after three sessions of one day and one night, it has been ascertained that Guo Li, the head of the General Affairs Office, took advantage of his position to steal the state treasury......"

Xu Li, the secretary of the ministry, was Xu Dong replaced Dai Ding, an old minister of the previous dynasty, and personally promoted him to take over Dai Ding's position.

Xu Dong picked up the fold presented by Xu Li and looked at it, it turned out that what was written on the fold was very different from what Xu Li played oratorily, and Guo Tong stole the pill 'medicine' in the treasury and sold it to the 'medicine' dealer, and the fold said that there might be a shocking conspiracy.

In order to find out the people involved in this conspiracy one by one, the emperor has to give the ministers a period of time, and Rong Chen will report after 'figuring' the whole truth of the matter. ”

Xu Dong knew that the reason why Xu Li's performance was different from the oral performance was due to his wisdom, and the oral performance said that Guo Yi was convicted of corruption and theft in order to prevent the ministers involved in the court from being alerted.

Putting down the twists and turns, Xu Dong had a complex emotion of hot and cold 'interweaving' in his heart at this time, on the one hand, he did not expect that so many people would participate in this conspiracy, and on the other hand, he was pleased with Xu Li's ability to do things and loyalty.

After Xu Li retreated, he was followed by Li Jin, the secretary of the military department, who presented a letter of recital, "Your Majesty, according to your will, the commander of the hussar battalion, Chen Kun, has expanded the camp by 35 and has 56,000 conscripts, and is now training soldiers intensively. ”

Xu Dong glanced at the fold, on which were written the names of the newly expanded thirty-five barracks, the addresses of each battalion and the personnel arrangements, and he couldn't help but sincerely admire Chen Kun's rigorous style.

"Li Aiqing, this is the matter of the Hussar Battalion, your own business, didn't I 'hand' you a task and ask you to recruit a royal guard for me, how is it going now. ”

Li Jin hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, the minister Li Jin has now recruited 80,000 new soldiers, and another 20,000 will meet your requirements. ”

Xu Dong thought to himself, this Li Jin is really not simple, it has only been such a long time since the last court meeting, and he actually completed the number of conscripts by ten, and it seems that this royal guard will be able to be formed before the end of the year.

After the other ministers finished their reports, Xu Li played again, "Your Majesty, Guo Yi was deposed from the post of head of the General Affairs Office for committing a crime, and the minister intends to use a person to take his position, this person is named Xia Ji, who was originally the deputy envoy of the political supervision ......"

Xu Dongyi frowned and interrupted Xu Li, "Xu Aiqing, isn't it okay for Guo Yan's position to put his original deputy on top, why transfer an official from the Political Department to the General Affairs Office." ”

Xu Li said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have made many considerations, firstly, Guo Ji committed a major crime of corruption this time, and his various positions themselves are suspected of collusion, and secondly, during Xia Ji's tenure as deputy envoy of political supervision, he was known for his honesty and prudence. ”

Xu Dong nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Or Xu Aiqing is thoughtful, just do it according to Xu Aiqing's wishes, and in the future, all personnel appointments and dismissals will only be prepared by the Ministry of Officials every quarter, and there is no need to report to me one by one." ”

............

In addition to the normal duty of the original guards, there is also a mysterious guard guarding the surroundings, this mysterious guard was formed two days ago, and its duty is to protect the safety of the "Guarding the Temple" during Xu Dong's retreat.

After arranging everything, Xu Dong came to the "Hall of Guarding the Secrets" and entered the underground dark room, and began his first long retreat in his spiritual career.

After meditating in the dark room for a while, the Holy Child appeared, and the Holy Child's golden skin, golden hair, and a layer of golden light were wrapped all over the body, illuminating the basement dark room as bright as day.

"Xu Dong, I have compiled Bigu Gong into a program, and now, I will transmit this set to you, and you can strictly follow this program in the future. ”

After speaking, the Holy Infant sealed the Dharma Seal in his hand, and there were words in his mouth, and ten streams of spiritual light flowed out from the tips of the Ten Fingers of the Holy Child, and these ten strands of spiritual light merged into a beam in the air and flowed towards Xu Dong.

Xu Dong's Heavenly Spirit Gai absorbed all the spiritual light, and the program of Bigu Gong immediately flashed on his brain screen, starting from the first article and ending at the sixtieth article.

Obviously, this is the program that the Holy Child has compiled for him according to the 60 days, how to practice on which day, and what pills to take when to take, all of which are clearly written in this set of procedures, and have become a hard 'sexual' indicator.

Xu Dong browsed the sixty programs, and it turned out that this Bigu Gong was not as simple as he imagined, there were small exercises in the big exercises, and there were small routines in the big routines, and it seemed that the procedures were quite complicated.

He took a closer look, the first is to practice Sangong, the specific practice method is to take the 'Sangong pill' and then run in the opposite direction of the big and small Zhoutian, with the intention of dismantling all the power on his body.

Xu Dong remembered that the day before yesterday he found two boxes of pills in the underground treasure house, one box was "Qianxun Transformation Treasure" and the other box was "Sangong Pill", and he was about to put these two boxes of pills back, but he was stopped by the Holy Child.

"Bring them with you, these two boxes of pills are very useful to you, you will need them when practicing Bigu Gong, the 'Scattering Pill' can dissipate the power on your body, and the 'Qianxun Transformation Treasure' can retrieve them. ”

Xu Dong's understanding of the term "scattered gong" should be a passive behavior under certain circumstances, or being disarmed by a strong enemy in the course of battle, and there has never been a saying that "scattered gong" is practiced.

Puzzled, he asked the Holy Child, "Master, why do you want to practice 'Sangong', and is it any good for practicing Bigu Gong?" ”

The Holy Infant said, "The reason why I have included the practice of 'Sangong' in the program is to shorten the time for you to practice Bigu Gong, and practicing 'Sangong' is equivalent to unloading your own burden, and it is easier to practice Bigu Gong without burden." ”

Xu Dong asked, "You mean to say that I will first remove the power on my body, and then restore the skill after practicing the Bigu Gong, I can't help but be a little worried about this, in case I can't restore the skill in the future." ”

"It's true that this method is not suitable for other practitioners, but it is very reliable for you, and the risk I estimated before compiling this program is almost zero risk for a Thundercloud Spirit Root cultivator. ”

Since it was said that Xu Dong no longer had doubts about this matter, he immediately took the "Sangong Pill", and then meditated with both sides, closed his eyes slightly, and ran in the opposite direction of the big and small Zhoutian.

Because of the effect of the 'medicine' power of the "Sangong Pill", the speed of this reverse operation was very fast, and only a few hours later, he tried to test it with the soul reading 'yin' talisman, and the skill on his body had dropped to the realm of knotting.

A day and a night have passed, and all the skills on Xu Dong's body have been reduced to zero, which is no different from when he entered the 'gate' of the Spirit Valley and became a disciple of the 'gate' outside, at this time, he felt very weak and looked very helpless.

According to the program prepared for him by the Holy Child, at this time he should take Bigu Dan, two Bigu Dan in his stomach, and he suddenly became 'refreshed' from the inside out, sweeping away the weakness and weakness just now.

Next, he used the method of visualization to practice meditation exercises, so as to open up the channel with nature and absorb the natural aura and energy, but to control the aura and energy to only attach to the surface of the human body, and not let it enter the dantian.

In the whole process of practicing Bigu Gong, it is necessary to keep the dantian clean, starting from the upper, middle and lower dantian, and remove the dirt in the body little by little, so that the meridians of the whole body are filtered several times.

This is an extremely long process of washing and purifying, and as the time of practice is extended, Xu Dong's body seems to be transparent from the inside out, and it becomes extremely light, as if he can spread his wings and fly.

In the early stage of practicing Bigu Gong, Xu Dong felt hungry from time to time, and at this time, he relied on taking pills to increase his nutrition, gradually reducing the amount of pills he used from the middle stage, and basically did not take any pills in the later stage.

Xu Dong felt that his Bigu was a smooth transition, and it was not as uncomfortable as the cultivation world had rumored, perhaps because the program set up for him by the Holy Child was more reasonable, or maybe it was because he had a different physique from others.

On the fifty-eighth day, he began to take the 'Chihiro Transformation Treasure' according to the procedure, which is a kind of pill that has no 'color' and no taste, which is close to translucent, and has a stagnant and unpalatable feeling after swallowing it in his throat.

However, this kind of pill was extremely magical, and without allowing him to swallow it in his throat, it directly turned into a stream of spiritual energy and drilled into the dantian, and he felt that the number of spiritual power in his body was increasing geometrically, reaching hundreds of wisps in just a blink of an eye.

He hurriedly took out the soul reading 'yin' talisman to test his skills, just now his skills were still at zero, at this time he had reached the late stage of the mortal realm, although he only recovered the most basic cultivation realm, but it also allowed him to witness a miracle.

Even if the "Qianxun Transformation Treasure" was so magical, he didn't dare to overdose, and could only strictly follow the time and quantity prescribed to him by the Holy Child, he knew that overdose was tantamount to doing stupid things fueled by seedlings.

Two days passed, and the sixty-day retreat period expired, and the "Qianxun Transformation Treasure" only took half a box, but Xu Dong returned to his pre-retreat skills, and he only put the unfinished pill into the treasure bag.
