Chapter 27: The Best Candidate
Chen Feng opened his eyes suddenly, but he was lying on the bed in the room, the sunlight shining in from the window was red, the sun was in the west, and it was already afternoon.
I don't know how to calculate the time in that space, but it must be different from the real world, Lingzhu said that the heaven and earth are full of her own Tao, so the various attributes of that world must be different from the real world. However, Chen Feng was quite puzzled by the details, and he couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. I just hope that one day, I will reach that level......
Chen Feng smiled dumbly, he was a bit of a fool again. The improvement of the realm may be a shortcut, but I dare not hope for it. For example, the disciples of the great sects and sects naturally ascended to the realm much faster than ordinary wild cultivators. The reason is that since many cultivators gathered together to form their own faction, it is naturally impossible to choose a barren place where the spiritual energy is exhausted, and the "spiritual veins" in the world with abundant spiritual energy are limited, so they are naturally occupied by the capable and well-established sects. According to the size of the spiritual veins and the abundance of spiritual energy, they are divided among the sects of various levels layer by layer, and finally most of the spiritual veins that can be known and explored by people in this world are mastered.
Starting a sect on a spiritual vein is naturally a unique advantage. Because, after embarking on the path of cultivation, every realm needs to constantly absorb the aura of heaven and earth to enrich the body. And the reason why only the Yunqi Realm contains the word "Yunqi" is because the cultivators of the Yunqi Realm have just been able to perceive the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and can use their own spiritual perfection to capture the trace of heaven and earth aura, but they can't do anything about it, and can only rely on their spiritual sense to pull and suck it into their bodies to strengthen their souls. But in fact, Yun Qi is only the foundation of cultivation, and as long as there is still spiritual consciousness still cultivating, it must be constantly incorporated into the spiritual energy.
The speed of incorporating the aura is related to the strength of each cultivator's own soul and meridians, and the qi refining realm is not only to condense the absorbed heaven and earth aura to be more refined, but also to broaden the eight veins of one's own qi meridians in the process of "refining", so that they can absorb the aura faster and more efficiently, which is a really visible improvement. After increasing the strength of the divine soul, the cultivator's perception of the aura of heaven and earth is stronger, and the ability to pull and swallow the aura is also stronger, although it sounds very useful, but the reason why the second stage of most people's cultivation is qi refining instead of "soul refining" is this. The cultivation of the divine soul is as mysterious as the cultivation of the "Dao", unless it is an extremely profound sect or has an extremely long inheritance, otherwise it is better to refine qi honestly.
The method that most people use, I dare not say that it is the most correct method, but it must be the most suitable method for ordinary cultivators.
In addition, compared to cultivators in the same natural realm, the importance of the environment is reflected. Compared to a person cultivating in the Barren Land Realm and a person cultivating in the Fuyuan Holy Land, there was naturally a world of difference. You can only find a puddle of water in the desert by crossing mountains and mountains and stepping on rolling yellow sand, and I am lying in a pool, who can cultivate fast?
Chen Feng rubbed his temples, he didn't think about these things anymore, now he just needed to cultivate well step by step. The king of the world moves mountains and reclaims the sea, that is what the powerful do, as a man with a family feud, he only needs to believe in the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand.
On the road to revenge, when you encounter obstacles, you will be killed.
As for reversing the destiny of heaven to find the fruit of immortality, it is an extremely distant and distant thing, straight to the edge of the sky.
However, lying in this square inch day after day will inevitably give rise to boredom and annoyance. He wants to get better and practice as soon as possible, and if he has practiced kung fu, even if you are a cultivator of the Ning Yuan Realm, you can't stop me from using a sword. He remembered the powerlessness of facing the gray-clothed old man when he was lying on the stone platform, and secretly made up his mind in his heart to take the Ning Yuan Realm as the goal and condense his "Divine Yuan" as soon as possible.
At the same time, he thought of the young Taoist priest again, but he couldn't think of anything. He now has a magical ability to never forget, but when he recalled the face of the Taoist priest, it was blurred, and he clearly saw it that day, which made him feel quite strange.
The only thing I remember is the broken hat on the head of the Taoist priest, the loose hair tied up by a wooden hairpin, and a very tattered Taoist robe.
He seemed to remember that the Taoist priest smiled at himself, but what was he like when he laughed? There was no impression in his head, he wondered if he was stunned by the murderous aura of the old man in gray at that time, and he had a temporary amnesia, but the sound of Qingluan sobbing on his shoulder and the hot tears dripping on his hand were clearly imprinted in his mind.
He was extremely depressed, didn't he even have the only clue to find that Taoist priest? That mysterious person, who might have been his life-saving benefactor, just disappeared out of thin air in his mind, and he didn't even leave his appearance.
"Alas. He sighed, "I'll only see you again in the future, Dao Chief." β
After thinking about it, there is no way but to take one step at a time.
----
After three days in a row, I was finally able to get out of bed and walk, so I started to get up early in the morning and practice that knife technique again.
Strange to say, after practicing twice in a row, although he was not as panting as a few days ago, he was also sweating profusely, and his weak body seemed to be a little better all of a sudden, which made him feel both amazing and happy.
At noon, after lunch, he planned to visit the father and daughter of the Wu family to talk about his remuneration, and then left the Wu Mansion to decide where to go next. Of course, before leaving, I had to enter the jade world again to find the master.
Maybe because he hadn't walked out of the yard for a long time, the moment he went out, he suddenly had a sense of freshness that he hadn't seen for a long time, the sun was just right on this day - in fact, in the border of the northern part of Great Chu where Feiyun City is located, there are few rainy days, and in the four seasons of the year, there is a short rainy period in spring, and in the rest of the days, you can see the sun when you walk out of the door.
He looked left and right, although he had been led by Qingluan in the martial arts mansion before, but most of them were in a purposeful hurry, and he rarely had time to stop and enjoy the scenery.
And at this moment, he can be regarded as a good wanderer, most of the servants and servants who come and go have become familiar with each other in these days, plus Chen Feng as Wu Wenjie's "lover" and the big hero who became famous in Feiyun City, naturally everyone has a good impression of him. If you bump into the opposite side while walking, you will be pleasant.
But there was one person who always avoided Chen Feng, which made Chen Feng feel strange.
This person is Xiao Wang, who is a miscellaneous man in the Wufu, his real name is Wang Dazhu, although the name is domineering, but the body is as thin as a firewood, Chen Feng is worried about whether he will be blown away by a gust of wind, but the Wufu covers a vast area, there are high walls on all sides, as long as he stays in the mansion honestly, there is naturally no such strong wind. This Wang Sledgehammer is said to be the son of an old pawn in his later years, his mother died when he gave birth, and he was raised by the old pawn since he was a child, and then the old pawn knew that his body could not last a few years, and once he met the general of Feiyun City on the street, he entrusted the young Wang Sledgehammer to Wu Deyang with a handful of tears and snot, Wu Deyang was loyal, thinking of the old love, he handed down the young Wang Sledgehammer at that time, and stayed in the martial arts to do chores, although there was no status and money, but at least his life was worry-free, full of food and clothing, and it was also considered benevolent and righteous.
However, not long after he moved in, this Wang Sledgehammer seemed to look at himself quite unpleasantly, although Qingluan was in charge of serving him, and he had nothing to do with this Wang Sledgehammer, but once he walked around the Martial Mansion and saw this person, the latter would inevitably avoid him far away.
"I'm not ugly. He thought depressedly, and looked at his reflection in the lotus pond for a while. In addition to being on the mountain in the past few years, so it looks a little darker, the facial features are not ugly, and then I recalled whether I had offended others in the martial arts in the past few days. However, in this big martial arts mansion, he has always lived in a simple place, unless Wu Deyang has something to tell him, otherwise he rarely even goes out of that remote small courtyard, even more so after the duel, not to mention what to do with the people in the mansion and cause any trouble.
He decided to inquire about it.
"Eh... Brother, come over here. β
He stopped Wang Da Hammer and took the liberty to ask a question like "Why do you look at me unpleasantly" It seems quite impolite, and it just so happens that Qingluan is not around, so he just happened to ask him a serious question, and he became familiar with the relationship first.
Wang Dazhui stopped, but seemed reluctant to come, so Chen Feng walked over.
"I would like to ask where the general is at the moment, I have something important to look for him. β
Wang Da Hammer hesitated, holding the clothes in his hands, seeing that the material of the clothes was not the linen cloth worn by the poor people, although it was not a brocade dress sewn with delicate satin, but he thought that he had lived well in the martial arts over the years.
"I want to ask..." Chen Feng thought that Wang Dazhu's hearing was not very good, and he raised his voice and wanted to repeat it again.
"I heard thatβ" he spoke, glancing at Chen Feng from the corner of his eye.
"I ...... When I was just doing chores, I saw that the general seemed to be heading towards the study. He looked a little nervous.
"Okay, thank you" Chen Feng smiled.
"Hmm... If you don't have anything to do, I still have work to do, so I'll go first. β
Without waiting for Chen Feng to answer, he ran away as soon as he slipped away.
Chen Feng is embarrassed, is he so terrible... In any case, the image of a sunny young man who is approachable is also displayed.
Is it only effective for women?
He wiped his face, and he couldn't think about it. I'll go straight to the general myself.
He walked in the direction of the study.
Although he hadn't been in Wufu for a long time, Qingluan had taken him to some places, including the study, and with his own ability to never forget, it was naturally not a problem to remember the way.
But just as he was leaving, he heard a few young maids carrying basins and preparing to wash clothes walk by, and at the same time whispered gossip:
"What does Wang Sledgehammer look like, and dare to move our Qingluan sister's mind, if the son in front of him stays in Wufu as a son-in-law, then Qingluan's sister is very likely to become his personal maid?"
"That is, if you act more lubricated, you may be accepted as a concubine one day, and your status will be directly promoted... Tut-tut, we old sisters can't envy it. β
They were far apart, and they spoke quietly, Chen Feng couldn't hear it at first, but they never thought that the son in his eyes had excellent hearing and listened to all the private words between their women.
Chen Feng grinned a little embarrassedly, and seemed to know at once why Wang Dazhu's sledgehammer looked at him unpleasantly all day long......
However, I like Qingluan, a little girl in my heart, and I will never change.
He shook his head, it's still important to get down to business, let's go find Wu Deyang first.
On a bright autumn afternoon, he shuttled alone in the Nuoda Martial Arts Mansion, admiring the flowers and trees, only to find that the ingenious design of this mansion was simply breathtaking. Although he had already seen one or two from the remote courtyard where he lived, he was surprised to actually walk in it. The structure of the house is obviously designed by the master gardener, and the pavilions and pavilions are exquisite and charming, and echo each other, making people have endless aftertaste. Coupled with well-pruned low trees and gorgeous flowers, although it is in the north, it has the style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River described in the book.
Walking and stopping, although his body has not fully recovered and his foot strength is not good, he still arrived at the study after half an hour. Outside the study, two big willow trees hang down, green and green, full of seclusion.
Chen Feng muttered to himself in his heart, this general is obviously a ruthless character who dances knives and guns to kill the enemy in blood, but he has such a deep knowledge of mansion design, but he is a real person.
But then he thought about it, what if it was designed by Wu Wenjie's mother? He was immediately relieved in his heart, this explanation was much easier for people to accept in terms of reason and reason.
Before he could step through the door, his ears moved, but he heard a voice from the study, and he immediately stopped to listen.
"Dad, Wen Jie can't bear to ...... you"
"Good daughter, my father can't bear you. But today, Li Zhengde sent someone to send this letter, obviously to force you and my father and daughter into a desperate situation, I didn't expect that old boy to be so vicious now. Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to defend, my father has fought all his life, and he has always acted above board, you know, naturally it is difficult to fight the old boy who has played a lifetime of mental tricks. However, it doesn't matter how your father is, you must be well, go to your uncle's house to hide first, recuperate, if you practice diligently, if there is really a war in the future, you will naturally have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy, let those with high hats see what it means to be a woman and not let the eyebrows go!"
Then there was a silence.
"Come in, little brother. Chen Feng was startled, he was still a few feet away from the study, and there was still a thick wall, and Wu Deyang seemed to know that he was eavesdropping here.
He rubbed his head awkwardly and walked into the study.
"The kid overheard the general talking with the eldest lady, please ......"
"No need," Wu Deyang raised his hand to interrupt him. "These are family affairs and family affairs, but they are not military secrets after all, but although this girl wants to join the army, as long as she does not enter the army for a day, I will naturally not tell her any military secrets. Besides, if you join the army, you naturally have to start from the bottom of the ranks according to the rules, and when you see me, you have to call the general, not your father, I will talk to you about the military, and you have to kneel. He turned his head and said half-jokingly to Wu Wenjie, whose eyes were a little red. The latter ignored him and turned his head to the side.
He immediately said to Chen Feng: "You must have come to me to ask for payment and left." β
Chen Feng was shocked. Although this Wu Deyang said that Li Zhengde was a vicious person who played with power all his life, he himself clearly said that he had broken his mind.
"If you pay, you should be paid, rightfully so, and there is nothing to say. Seeing Chen Feng's face, Wu Deyang said with a smile.
"It's just... Little brother, the matter of remuneration is put aside first, but I have one thing to ask for, this thing... Maybe it will trouble the little brother for a long time. β
"Don't dare, don't dare, the general has something to tell the kid, the kid has been eating and living in the house for so long, he is naturally grateful, and he wants to be unable to repay the reception of the martial arts mansion after getting paid, and he feels guilty. β
"Hahahaha... If you really want to deal with this matter, the Wufu will let you eat and live for nothing for a few days, but you can't reach it. Wu Deyang's eyes narrowed and he laughed heartily.
"General, but it doesn't hurt to speak. Chen Feng looked at Wu Deyang and asked seriously.
Wu Deyang also put away his smile, with a solemn expression:
"I want to invite the little brother, with Wen Jie... Go to ......"
"Capital!"
Wu Wenjie's head tilted to the side and he couldn't see his face clearly, Chen Feng was dumbfounded, seeing Wu Deyang's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking with himself, he thought quickly in his heart, and then said:
"This is a long way to the capital, the kid's force is low, and it seems quite inappropriate to ask me to take the eldest lady. There are many masters in the General's Mansion, and any one of them can crush me, wouldn't it be safer to call a group of strong people to escort me. β
Wu Deyang sighed.
"I guess you heard what I said to Wen Jie just now. After your battle, Li Zhengde has completely torn his face with me, and soon after, he will use his network resources to shatter my Nuoda Feiyun City. He lowered his eyes, "However, it's not your fault, Li Zhengde has been exploiting my martial arts family from all aspects all these years, and his son picking quarrels and provoking troubles is just the tip of the iceberg, and your injury to him is just the fuse of all this." β
"It doesn't matter what I am, Wen Jie is still young, she still has her revenge and dreams, she can't be planted in the hands of that old beast, she also has an uncle in the capital, and the official is big, presumably even if Li Zhengde is capable, his tentacles can't reach under his uncle's nose. β
And now, the biggest problem is to send Wen Jie out of Beiyuan. Li Zhengde is the number one in Beiyuan in front of his state capital, and he will inevitably use all kinds of righteous reasons to obstruct it, and if I send a group of masters, the target is too big, and the countless pairs of eyes he has planted are staring at the whereabouts of my right-hand men, sending them is equivalent to telling Li Zhengde the location of my daughter. β
"So, right now, you're the best fit. There must be difficulties, I will secretly send you out of the city, your goal is small, Wen Jie will follow you quietly, I can call a master to protect you in the dark within thirty miles of Feiyun City, out of this range, I will leave it all to you. β
"Don't say that your ability is not enough, you are a fledgling stinky boy, at first glance, you can be at the peak of Qi Accumulation, it turned out to be the early stage of Qi Refining Realm, and moreover, the mid-grade Broken Cauldron Pill, taken by Qi Refining Realm cultivators, will raise the realm by one level at most, and the strength of your two swords that day is almost ...... Five-fold Qi refining. β
Chen Feng was a little surprised.
"It doesn't matter what hole cards you have, but as far as you are concerned, you are definitely the ...... with the smallest goal and the most ability"
"The best candidate. β
