Chapter 28: Favoritism

Tan Guohua carried a Mo knife weighing more than 50 catties back to his residence, such a heavy weapon, it would be good for him to be able to hold it now, if it was used to kill the enemy, he would first exhaust himself to death.

Of course he won't be so stupid, what he really likes is the material that makes the Mo knife, as for how to smelt it, as a veteran who has worked in the steel foundry for several years, he has a way to smelt it, but the current conditions are not available.

Unable to build a blade for the time being, he used the Mo Knife as a tool to practice his strength.

Cui Cheng didn't want to call Tan Guohua as a coolie, but just planned to train his disciples, so Tan Guohua had a lot of time to practice literature and martial arts.

Needless to say, what is needed is the work of the water mill, about Xi Wen, in fact, he is not very interested in the Confucian classics, but more attentive to the Taoist classics, and spent a little time, and will see in the north such as "Wangu Dan Jing King", "Dragon and Tiger Sutra" and other books silently written on the paper, there are obscure places to ask Cui Cheng to answer.

Cui Cheng not only has a deep attainment in Confucianism and Taoism, but also has a deep understanding of Taoism and Buddhism, after reading these silent scriptures, his expression became extremely solemn, "Hua'er, this is the Taoist method of cultivating Jindan Dao, although my Confucianism rejects the strange power of chaos, but it does not mean that there are no gods in heaven and earth, and Confucianism and Taoism are cultivated to the extreme, and they can also become immortals and attain Taoism, these scriptures are very precious, and they cannot be easily shown, so as not to attract death!"

"I know, teacher, do you know how we Confucians cultivate the Tao and become immortals?"

Cui Cheng smiled bitterly, "Since the establishment of Confucianism, only three saints have appeared, they should be regarded as enlightened, as for whether they have become immortals, no one knows, but one thing is certain, their Tao will be passed on forever, the context is immortal, and the spirit is endless!"

Hearing the last eight words, Tan Guohua's heart was touched, since he saw the Yin God of the fourteenth generation of the Northern Sect Sect Ancestor Dingyao, he changed the cognition that people's souls cannot exist independently from the body, if those three saints accept the incense belief of hundreds of millions of Confucian disciples, maybe they can really reach the legendary realm.

"What the teacher said is that these books talk about 'convincing qi refining inner pills, smelting and refining outer pills', the former can be understood, and the latter is not difficult to understand with herbs into pills, and the key is that there is another part about external alchemy pills, the materials required are all cinnabar, sulfur and other gold and stone minerals, as far as I know, if these things are taken like highly poisonous, how can they be easily used?"

"Hehe, although I don't know much about the Jindan Avenue of the Daomen, but I still know a little about the Wai Dan, in addition to those pills used to cure diseases, another Jinshi Bao Dan is mainly used to assist in cultivation, ordinary people take it is naturally equivalent to taking poison, but it is another matter for people who have Taoism to take it!"

"I see!"

......

With the teacher's guidance, Tan Guohua has a deeper understanding of the "King of the Ancient Dan Sutra" and other Taoist scriptures, these Taoist scriptures mainly expound the theory of Jindan Dao, one day he arrives at the realm, these Taoist scriptures can point out the direction of his practice, but the empty theory is not enough, and the corresponding way is needed to realize, at present, what is useful for him is the method of refining the outer Dan, of course, this refers not to the golden stone pill, but the pill that ordinary people can take.

Tan Guohua has become interested in this kind of pill since he tried the powerful effects of Kaiyuan Dan and Yijing Cleansing Pill, and if he learned this skill, he thought that practicing martial arts would undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort.

Alchemy requires several main conditions: first there must be a Dan furnace, then there must be a stable fire source, and there needs to be a corresponding Dan recipe, and after these are ready, the materials must be raised.

Tan Guohua doesn't have any of them at present, and he doesn't have the money to buy them, so in the final analysis, it falls on the word "money".

While he was struggling with how to make money, trouble came to the door.

In the afternoon of this day, someone suddenly smashed the door, "Cui is there to join the army?"

The old housekeeper Cui Si opened the door, and it was a soldier who smashed the door, and there were a few people outside the door, led by a bearded man, and he was carrying a person in his hand, which was Cao Yangshen, a soldier who managed the armory.

"It turned out to be General Zheng, my lord is still in Yamen and hasn't come back!"

"It doesn't matter if Cui joins the army and isn't there, does he have a disciple named Chen Guohua?"

Tan Guohua heard his name mentioned and walked out of the room, "Who is looking for me?"

Cui Si hurriedly introduced, "This is General Zheng En and Zheng Ziming!"

Tan Guohua looked up and down at this famous guy in the romance novel, just looking at the figure that was much stronger than ordinary people, he knew that this was definitely a fierce man, "I don't know what the general is looking for a boy?"

"Do you know this son?"

"Recognize, he's Yang Bingcao!"

"That Mo knife was given to you by him privately?"

As far as I know, with the permission of the superiors, Bing Cao has the right to dispose of damaged weapons at market prices!"

"Hmph, is that Mo knife damaged? It's obviously a treasure knife, but it's sold to you at a low price, so I'm not afraid that your teacher will have to do it because of this?"

Tan Guohua glanced at the other party again, this guy seemed rude, but he didn't expect to know how to handle people, "A useless Mo knife, isn't two taels of gold enough?" If you can take out more, I can transfer it to you!"

"The materials in the army, this general has the right to call, why do you need money?"

"So, are you going to take it by force?" Tan Guohua's face changed slightly, Zheng En, Chai Rong, and Zhao Kuangyin are brothers who are well known, he doesn't want to offend each other, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for the teacher, but it is impossible for him to give everything away for nothing.

"What Lao Tzu wants, do you think you can keep it?" After speaking, he threw Yang Bingcao as a weapon, which shows his great strength.

Tan Guohua was really angry, and he performed a trick of "drunk hugging the altar", his arm stretched out and pulled it, and he unloaded most of his strength, and his body turned to catch Yang Shen steadily.

"Shout, there are two hits!" Zheng En didn't care about his own suspicion of bullying the small, and jumped up, just colliding with his palms.

Tan Guohua gently pushed Yang Shen, his body was slightly sideways, and the silk point was displayed, Zheng En deserved to be the fierce general of the world, and with one move, he immediately used the overlord of the mountain-shaking fist to remove his armor, shook off the hand of the point, and at the same time followed the step forward and hit the mountain with a rhinoceros.

Tan Guohua immediately felt a huge force coming, knowing that he was invincible, a little under his feet, and his body shot backwards.

Zheng En suddenly rose to his feet and kicked his feet.

"Slap!", Tan Guohua seemed to be unable to dodge and was kicked down, but when he fell to the ground, he did not lean back, but leaned sideways.

Zheng En was unwilling to let go, and when his body fell, a whip leg slashed.

Tan Guohua was annoyed in his heart, the other party was so ruthless, if he was hit by this leg, his little life might not be able to be saved, so he no longer kept his hand, his body turned on the ground, and after dodging the powerful whip legs, he kicked his feet continuously, Zheng En's moves were old, and he was kicked back again and again.

Tan Guohua bounced up with his left hand, and punched out with his right hand, and this blow used internal force.

Zheng En hurriedly blocked with his arm, he was already unstable, and was directly knocked to the ground by this punch, Tan Guohua immediately knocked down his carp body with a "fairy toast", and casually clicked on its three big holes.

"Boy, let go of grandpa, there is a kind of let's work on the horse!" He came and went freely in the army of ten thousand horses, and his work was naturally good, but this fist and foot work was indeed commonplace, and it all relied on natural divine power.

"I'll let you call yourself grandpa, I'll let you call yourself grandpa..."

Zheng En's personal soldiers naturally couldn't watch their generals being humiliated, and they drew their swords one after another.

"Stop!" shouted, and several people rushed into the courtyard, the red-faced man led by Zhao Kuangyin, the commander of Huazhou, the one on the left was a middle-aged man dressed in Taoist costumes, and Cui Cheng on the right.

Zheng En's personal soldiers hurriedly retreated to the side, and Tan Guohua also stopped.

"Hua'er, why did you fight with General Zheng privately, what kind of system!" Cui Cheng shouted, he was working in the yamen, and suddenly someone reported that Zheng En took someone to his house, Tan Guohua bought Mo knife, he knew about it, and naturally guessed what Zheng En was doing, with his understanding of this General Zheng, he was not a reasonable person, but he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade him to go back, so he pulled down his face and begged Zhao Kuangyin, who was discussing with Miao Junshi.

Zhao Kuangyin also knows the temperament of his righteous brother, Cui Cheng is the object of his wooing, and his disciple has made a meritorious contribution by escorting grain not long ago, and there will be a reward soon, if he is really killed by Zheng En, even if he wants to protect him, he has to consider the consequences, so he left his business and hurried over.

The situation in front of him was really unexpected, Cui Cheng didn't expect his disciple to be so able to fight, and he was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would favor his brother-in-law.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin was also very surprised, he knew very well what strength his righteous brother had, although his fists and feet were poor, but he would not be defeated by a young man.

Tan Guohua arched his hand, "Teacher, General Zhao, Zheng En, this person broke into a private house with the intention of committing murder, in order to prove the typical, I am willing to ask him to be punished to prove the law of the country!"

"Hua'er, don't talk nonsense, do you have evidence?"

"Without the permission of the owner, he is still in the courtyard, this is one of the evidences, and Yang Bingcao is the witness!"

Cui Cheng turned his head and arched his hand: "Please also ask the commander to preside over justice!"

"Don't listen to what they say, this surnamed Yang sells weapons privately, I'm here to recover the stolen goods!" Zheng En's body couldn't move, but it didn't hinder him from speaking.

Zhao Kuangyin naturally had his heart set on his brother-in-law, "Yang Shen, is there such a thing?"

"Your Excellency, what your subordinates are selling is a Mo knife left over from the former Tang Dynasty, these are all in the category of damage, not private weapons!"

When Zhao Kuangyin first came to Huazhou, he knew that there was such a batch of Mo knife heavy armor, and it was not illegal for Bing Cao to sell it, but he had the heart to exonerate his righteous brother, so he naturally couldn't say that, "Mo knife is not damaged, and it can't be treated as a damaged weapon, hmph, how do you sell that Mo knife?"

Yang Shen also understands the relationship between Zheng En and the commander, but he doesn't want to let the dirty water splash on him, "Although those Mo knives are generally intact, they have long been corroded, and they have been damaged for more than a year or two, and they can only fall into the damaged warehouse according to the regulations, and they have the right to deal with it as a soldier, not to mention, Chen Guohua's bid of two taels of gold is enough to repay its value, these have been registered in the register, and adults can access the account book!"

Cui Cheng also echoed: "I know about this matter, although Chen Guohua is my disciple, he did not force him to buy and sell!"

"Nonsense, I see that you are colluding up and down, second brother, don't listen to their nonsense!" Zheng En shouted.

Zhao Kuangyin's face was a little ugly, it was not difficult to tell who was right and who was wrong, but he couldn't look at his righteous brother who was unlucky, and his eyes glanced at the military advisor Miao Xun Miao Guangyi......
