Zhang Ming's face was calm and relaxed, but his spirit was highly concentrated, and the muscles and muscles of his body seemed to be loose.

Faced with two innate martial artists of unknown origin, one of whom was even an innate master, Zhang Ming had to be cautious.

"The two distinguished guests came to me, I don't know why?" Zhang Ming asked with a smile with a fist salute.

The fat shopkeeper Xu Liang looked kind and wealthy, and said with a smile: "We are from Fengyulou." This is our Lei Hall Master, a master of the main building, and he is not in charge of the Anxi Mansion branch. ”

Conversation, too, be skillful. When talking to a smart person like Zhang Ming, it is best to say your identity directly, so it will be self-defeating and mess things up.

Wind and rain building?

What do they come to do with themselves?

Are you looking for trouble?

Meng Hu died at his own hands, and the loss of a congenital assassin is definitely not a trivial matter, and it is reasonable for them to come to find trouble.

Zhang Ming looked at Lei Zhan and Xu Liang calmly and did not speak. Xu Liang continued: "Zhang Jieyuan is young and promising, I and the Lei Hall Master came to visit this time, and I have no other meaning, just to see if there is any possibility of cooperating with Zhang Jieyuan." ”

Lei Zhan nodded and smiled: "Not bad." Zhang Jieyuan, we in Fengyulou are very respectful of you, if you can join Fengyulou, we will definitely do our best to help you, so that you can be like a fish in water in officialdom. ”

Zhang Ming understood, Fengyulou was trying to recruit himself.

"Two seniors. I, Zhang Mingnai, am an official of the imperial court, not to mention joining Fengyulou, even if I cooperate with Fengyulou and let the imperial court know, there will be a lot of trouble, and maybe there will be imprisonment. Zhang Ming said coldly, "I'm not afraid of death, but I must keep a useful body and do something for the court and the people." ”

Zhang Ming has never hidden his ambitions. Fengyulou is the biggest dark force in the Great Qian Dynasty, and it is really a big joke that he wants to recruit himself. To join the Wind and Rain Building, it is better to join the Sword Sect, at least the Sword Sect is more open-minded.

Lei Zhan said with a smile: "Zhang Jieyuan's ambition is really admirable, in you, the old man feels the temperament of the ancient sages." But Zhang Jieyuan's vision is still a little narrow. ”

Zhang Ming frowned, and asked lightly: "I have a narrow vision? ”

Lei Zhan smiled slightly, his eyes were full of wisdom, and continued: "Qiankun is infinite, heaven and earth are yin and yang. Things are also divided into good and bad. Although Fengyulou is a dark force, it may not be more dirty than other forces. The court, the sect, and the family may not be cleaner than the wind and rain building. Fengyulou undertakes shady businesses such as assassination, smuggling, and intelligence trading, but you also have to admit that over the years, there have been many corrupt officials who have died at the hands of the assassins in Fengyulou. What's more, Fengyulou has hardly ever attacked the people. ”

Zhang Ming sneered: "But the good people who died at the hands of the assassins of the Wind and Rain Building, more." ”

Lei Zhan laughed loudly: "Good person, may I ask Zhang Jieyuan, what kind of person is a good person?"

Zhang Ming was silent for a while, what kind of person is a good person? It's really hard to say.

Lei Zhan said: "According to the scriptures of Buddhism: no killing, no stealing, no adultery, no lying, no double tongue, no evil mouth, no gossip, no greed, no anger, no stupidity. Only by doing these ten virtues can we reach the minimum standard of a good person. May I ask Zhang Jieyuan, using this standard to measure, are there still good people in the world?"

"Zhang Jieyuan wants to do things for the court and the people, and do things for the people of the world. As long as you can achieve the end, the means, is it really that important? If you want to do things, many times, you need to borrow strength. The Great Qian Dynasty and the Barbarian Court were feuds and mortal enemies, but they had to cooperate in some things. For example, business buying and selling. ”

Zhang Ming fell into deep thought, what Lei Zhan said also made sense. The so-called return of ten thousand laws to the sect has only one purpose, but there are thousands of roads. As long as you keep the bottom line in your heart, behave and do things, and be sleek and flexible, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

Zhang Ming did things before, and he strictly followed the standards in the book, but he seemed a little old-fashioned. After all, the truths in the book are from the world, but some of them are not suitable for the actual situation at the time.

Lei Zhan saw that Zhang Ming still didn't agree, so he said again: "Zhang Jieyuan has scruples, and he should be, but you can become our guest elder in Fengyu Building first." In the future, if Fengyulou encounters difficulties, I hope Zhang Jieyuan can help. ”

The fat shopkeeper Xu Liang was shocked, Elder Keqing, that is only qualified for an innate martial artist, or even a god realm powerhouse, the lord is so optimistic about Zhang Ming's potential? Establish a good relationship with a peerless powerhouse in the future in advance, and this business can be said to only make money and not lose money.

Zhang Ming weighed the pros and cons, and finally agreed: "Okay." Fengyulou looks up to me Zhang Ming so much, so I can't help but know how to lift. Just do what Senior Lei said, I will be the guest elder of Fengyu Building. But in the future, Fengyulou can't force me to make a move, whether I can make a move, or when to make a move, I have the final say. ”

Lei Zhan smiled happily: "Of course. Zhang Jieyuan is our guest elder, and no one can force you. ”

The rest of the meeting was much easier and more enjoyable.

Zhang Ming said his difficulties, lack of money, and need silver.

And the wind and rain building is the most short of silver.

For more than a hundred years, the wealth accumulated by Fengyulou is more than that of Leiyin Temple and Taiqing Sect, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich and rivals the country. Zhang Ming made a request, and Lei Zhan didn't say a word, so he directly agreed to transfer three million taels of silver to lend Zhang Ming.

The conditions for Sword Sect to borrow money were harsh, and Zhang Mingdu was already planning to go to other counties to suppress bandits, but he didn't expect that he would borrow silver in Fengyulou.

Xu Liang and Lei Zhan came and went quickly. On the same day, he left Qing'an County and went back to Fucheng. Xu Liang agreed, after he went back, he would arrange for someone to send three million taels of silver, and would let the people from Fengyulou stay with Zhang Ming, and they could send a message to contact him in the future.

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

The speed of doing things in Fengyulou was not slow, and three days later, a half-step innate martial artist sent three million taels of silver tickets to Zhang Ming. Fortunately, Fengyulou acted strictly enough, and if the news leaked, three million taels of silver would definitely attract a large number of bandits and bandits to rob.

Before I knew it, two months had passed.

The Holy of Holies has been repaired and classes have begun.

The leather armor and fur robes produced in the workshop were all sold through the wind and rain building, and the silver was more than 1 million taels, and after deducting the cost of nearly 200,000 taels of silver, more than 800,000 taels of silver were earned.

A few days ago, Tiele came to Yamen again with three wagons of goods and various medicinal herbs, and sold the goods to Zhang Ming. Zhang Ming is very fair, Tiele trusts Zhang Ming very much, and is willing to sell the goods to him. With Tieler's purchase channel and Fengyulou's sales channel, the business of the workshop is stable.

As long as nothing goes wrong, the workshop will continue to earn a lot of silver.

Zhang Ming's way of doing things made Yue Linglong feel a little surprised. She thought that Zhang Ming had no silver and would come to the door for the second time, but she didn't expect that Zhang Ming would suddenly get three million taels of silver, and the business of the workshop would be even more prosperous. It is already impossible to get Zhang Ming stuck from the silver.

In the morning, Zhang Ming was still practicing boxing in the courtyard.

Zhang Ming's Haoran Righteous Qi is much stronger than the ordinary Innate True Qi, but he can't get rid of the characteristics of the early Innate True Qi. Zhang Ming's body protection can only be released, not collected, just like a hidden weapon that can't be taken back.

Yue Linglong's innate temperament, which can be put away and retracted, can be used freely, seems to be full of spirituality, which makes Zhang Ming very envious. It's a pity that Zhang Ming's realm is still a little lower. If you want to send and receive Qi freely, use Ruyi, just like an arm, you must reach the realm of innate Dacheng.

Through this period of cultivation and comprehension, Zhang Ming's strength has improved a lot, and with a full blow, he can hit 300,000 catties of strength. However, the improvement of the realm is not satisfactory, and I don't know when I will become a mid-innate martial artist.

Although he had those innate martial arts experiences sent by the five princes, Zhang Ming had not yet turned those insights into his own. The realm is like this, enlightenment is enlightenment, and no enlightenment is no enlightenment, which is difficult to describe in words. It can only be understood, not spoken.

"Li Ze, you kid is still sleeping, get up!"

Li Ze slept soundly in bed, and children dozed off a lot. Zhang Ming's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, dispelling the drowsiness.

Li Ze was startled, and hurriedly got up and dressed: "Master, I'll get up immediately." ”

Li Ze is a big disciple, Zhang Ming must teach by word and deed, and he must not be sloppy. Zhang Ming taught his disciples that virtue comes first, followed by ability.

If you are not capable, you can learn, but if you are lacking in virtue, it will be difficult to change.

Sex is similar, Xi is far away.

Li Ze must not be allowed to develop bad habits.

Li Ze appeared in front of Zhang Ming.

"Clothes, trousers, not neat enough. Zhang Ming said with a serious face, "In the future, if you are like today, you will walk for an extra hour, and lunch will be free." ”

Li Ze straightened the clothes and pants on his body, Zhang Mingcai nodded, and said, "Practice boxing!"

Li Ze still practiced the boxing technique on the stone tablet at the gate of the county government, while Zhang Ming stood on the side with a ring ruler.

Li Ze glanced at Zhang Ming from time to time.

"Concentrate. Zhang Ming scolded coldly, "Concentrate, concentrate! How many times have I said for the teacher, you must concentrate on everything you do." Only by being undisturbed and going deep can the realm of martial arts be refined. ”

Li Ze hurriedly guarded his mind.

Zhang Ming said coldly again: "Your movements are too fast! Slow, slow, slower, slower, if you want to be fast, you are not fast yet." The purpose of practicing boxing is to stretch your muscles and bones, temper your qi and blood, and achieve the purpose of strengthening your body and mind, not for you to attack the enemy. ”

"If a martial artist can't even control his own qi and blood strength, and blindly pursues strength, that is the way to death. Li Ze, you must remember that physical fitness is fundamental, and the realm is the most important. Strength, speed, and lethality are only the external manifestations of the realm. With strong physical strength, a high and profound realm, everything else will naturally be there. ”

Zhang Ming is gentle and does not lose his temper easily, but when teaching his disciples, he is very strict.

Zhang Ming believes that only a strict master can produce a high apprentice.

Li Ze's speed of boxing was even slower, dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his little face became red, and it was obvious that his qi and blood had begun to speed up.

"Yes, master, the apprentice remembered. Li Ze took Zhang Ming's teachings to heart.
