Chapter 20: The Return of the Wu Mansion
Once Duan Qianqiu asked where his parents were, who were they? Grandpa would say that his parents were unknown martial arts people, and their martial arts were not good, and they had already died of illness, and would scold Duan Qianqiu, telling him that if he didn't practice martial arts diligently, he would only be afraid that he would not even be as good as his parents in the future.
If Duan Qianqiu dared to ask again, his grandfather would punish him to double his practice, and once, he was punished, practicing with palm crushing stones, from dawn to dusk, not stopping for a moment, and finally he was exhausted and died on the ground. But when he woke up, he still stubbornly asked his grandfather about his parents, and his grandfather had tears in his eyes, and although he still refused to tell him, he didn't punish him again.
Grandpa's martial arts are amazingly high, he has seen grandpa smash a white jade lion with a cloud piercing palm volley, and the stone is shattered like powder.
Duan Qianqiu began to practice martial arts at the age of four, and followed his grandfather to wander the rivers and lakes, his grandfather made a living by killing people, although he killed some notorious villains, but every time he came back from killing, Duan Qianqiu was sometimes awakened by his sighs in the night.
In addition to practicing martial arts, Duan Qianqiu also has to read, classics and history, military books and national policies, wild history ranks, poems and songs, everything, sometimes grandpa will even talk to him about various things in the court, learn all kinds of etiquette, although he doesn't know why grandpa knows so much, but he knows that everything grandpa does is for his good, so he works hard, with his talent, the speed of progress, sometimes even his strict grandfather can't help but be amazed.
They were not short of money, but life was not good, because they never stayed in one place for more than two months, and after a while, grandpa would take him to move.
However, Duan Qianqiu didn't care at all, because since he was sensible, he only had his grandfather by his side, and he felt that as long as he kept guarding this lonely, strange and old-fashioned old man, it was enough.
Until that year, when he was nineteen years old, his grandfather was sick, very sick. They could only rent a house in Jiangning Mansion to live. Living next door to them was a wealthy family who ran a variety of businesses and had a very wealthy family.
One night, a robber broke into the mansion of a wealthy merchant at night and fought with the master of the nursing home, and the people in the courtyard were defeated by the robbers and were killed to the core, and the rich merchant's family was also killed.
Duan Qianqiu made a move, it was his first killing, of the eighteen robbers who invaded, fifteen died, especially the robber leader who was ready to rape the daughter of a rich businessman died the worst.
The rich businessman's surname is Ye.
The daughter of a wealthy businessman is Ye Chulong!
A woman who haunted him all his life.
After he met her, he didn't want to go anymore, he didn't want to wander anymore, no matter how his grandfather beat and scolded him, he was indifferent, and later his grandfather threatened to kill Ye Chulong, so he proposed to compete with his grandfather, saying that as long as he could pass a hundred moves under his grandfather, he would stay in Jiangning Mansion, otherwise he would leave.
Grandpa agreed, because in the whole world, there are only a few people who can pass a hundred moves in Grandpa's hands, and he doesn't think Duan Qianqiu can do it.
But Duan Qianqiu miraculously survived to the ninety-nine moves, and at the hundredth move, he couldn't even stand on his feet, but his grandfather didn't continue to shoot, nor did he say whether he won or lost, he just said, "You stay." Grandpa is also old, I can't take you around for the rest of my life, I still have something to do, I'm leaving, and when the matter is over, I'll come to you again. ”
After Grandpa finished speaking, he left Jiangning Mansion. This trip is five years, and Duan Qianqiu has also looked for him, but there is no news.
Ye Chulong's illness has always been there, she was guilty of heartache at the beginning, and when she grew up, the more serious her illness became, it had already affected her vitality, and the whole person seemed to fall down at any time, she had seen many famous doctors and taken many medicines, but she couldn't be cured. It wasn't until Qu Heng, a famous doctor, came to Jiangnan and was found by Duan Qianqiu that he applied acupuncture medicine to delay Ye Chulong's condition, and told him that if he wanted to cure this disease, he had to have black jade blood ginseng.
The murderous transactions in the rivers and lakes, collectively known as the head market, contain countless transaction price codes, countless mysterious middlemen and killers. The blood list is a list used to count these transaction price codes.
After the black jade blood ginseng was on the list, Duan Qianqiu hesitated for a long time, after all, it was against the way of heaven to exchange one person's life for another's life, but Ye Chulong's condition continued to worsen and was already in danger.
Duan Qianqiu had no choice. After Hai Kuotian of the Sky Gang was killed by him, he obtained a small half of the black jade blood ginseng, which saved Ye Chulong's life, but still could not cure her illness.
Duan Qianqiu proposed to Ye Chulong, but Ye Chulong insisted on not marrying her, her reason was very simple: "I'm all dying, why drag you down!"
Ye Chulong has been looking for a woman for him, and has been persuading him to marry, but he has always refused, so the two of them are so stiff, and a few years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Duan Qianqiu's martial arts are very strange, he practices two completely opposite internal skills, Jin Shi is overbearing and abnormal, and he can improve his skills very quickly at the beginning of practice, but the more he practices to the higher level, the internal strength is full and surging, which will make the meridians stretch, the true qi is retrograde, the light ones are crazy, and the heavy ones are broken in the meridians, and the pain is unbearable and he dies.
Wanliu Gui Sect ** is completely different, it is an extremely peaceful and self-cultivation technique of qi cultivation, practiced to the extreme, not only can disperse the true qi gathered by itself, but also disperse the skills of others, created by the whole true Taoist sect Wuchenzi, originally used to punish the traitors of the sect. These two kinds of martial arts are one rigid and one soft, one yang and one yin, and the two are practiced together, but they just combine rigidity and softness, and yin and yang are harmonized.
Duan Qianqiu's golden stone did not dare to practice further in order to open the spirit to the eighth level, because even Wanliu Guizong** could not suppress and neutralize the domineering qi of this martial art, Duan Qianqiu had broken through to the ninth level twice, and almost died because of the retrograde meridians, and finally forcibly used Wanliu Guizong** to unload the soaring true qi to be spared.
His grandfather has only practiced to the ninth level, and the tenth level has not yet been able to break through, and his skills have already been seen in the martial arts.
Duan Qianqiu rarely meditated, he meditated only to heal his wounds.
He can practice while refining qi, and whenever his body encounters a serious injury, the golden stone will be strengthened to open the divine skill. Grandpa once said that the human body is like a golden stone, and it needs to be constantly tempered to break through its own limits, and his martial arts still need to go through great tribulations and great encounters before he can reach the realm.
He sat quietly until dawn, and when he got out of bed, he felt that the pain in his body had basically disappeared, the spiritual platform was clear, and his body was full of true qi, and he did not feel tired.
Duan Qianqiu changed his clothes, and he decided to find out the traces of Bi Baicao, the medicine king who robbed the black jade blood ginseng last night, and then snatch the blood ginseng back. He settled the bill and left the inn, and he placed everything else and the long knife on a towering banyan tree by the street.
Outside Wu Qixiong's mansion, there were dense guards, and the adjacent streets were blocked, and I saw the torture room of the Huaiyin Mansion under the command of Master Cheng to enter and exit the Wu Mansion.
Duan Qianqiu crowded into the crowd to watch, and when he saw that the mansion had been closely monitored by the government, he dispelled the idea of entering the mansion to check.
When he was about to leave, a carriage stopped at the main gate of the Wu Mansion, but it was Cai Liancheng who came to the Wu Mansion accompanied by the chief of the Cao Governor's Mansion, and Ren Hurricane got off at the same time.
Duan Qianqiu didn't know Cai Liancheng, but he knew Ren Hurfeng, and when he tracked down Wu Qixiong that day, he saw Ren Hurfeng get into Yao Qianhua's carriage. The official uniform worn by Cai Liancheng was also recognized as the official uniform of the third-grade civil officials of the DPRK and China.
"The one who has been chasing me from Guangling Mansion to Huaiyin Mansion before is actually the forces of the court?" Duan Qianqiu said in his heart.
After a while, another carriage came, and the person who got off the car first had white hair and evil eyes, and the last person who got off the car was handsome and elegant, full of arrogance, but it was Bi Baicao and Tian Hengyu who fought with him in Wu Mansion last night.
Duan Qianqiu was secretly happy in his heart, as long as he could know Bi Baicao's traces, all that was left was to implement the robbery plan.
"Now the black jade blood ginseng still needs to be cultivated in the black soil, and it is impossible for Bi Baicao to take it with him, it will definitely be placed in his residence. I just need to find out where he lives, and I might be able to retrieve the blood ginseng while he's out now. Duan Qianqiu secretly thought in his heart.
"But how can we find out where he lives?" At this time, he saw the carriage that Bi Baicao was riding in, and his eyes lit up!
