Chapter 188: Another Year Passes By
The matter of Xu Xian's pretending illness and resignation went very well, and the person sent by the state capital flashed directly without even asking a word when he saw Xu Xian's face.
And the diagnosis of several doctors confirmed his guess, and as a result, this brother went up the mountain at noon, took a look at it, and immediately went down the mountain without eating.
Vaguely in the middle of Ye Wen also heard this person mutter: "I thought I could please the champion of the new department, but I didn't expect it to be a dying tuberculosis ghost......!
The latter words were not heard clearly because they were far away, and his voice was not loud, but only these few words let Ye Wen know that Xu Xian's road in officialdom has come to an end.
When all these people left Shushan, Xu Xian, one of the most senior people in the Shushan Sect, immediately jumped up from the bed, and then carried the Pure Yang Supreme Gong to wipe out part of the cold qi that had been controlled by him, and his face improved a lot in an instant.
When Ye Wen came back, he saw that Xu Xian was exercising to clear the cold, and he didn't stop it, anyway, at this time, in the entire Shu Mountain, those who were closer to him knew that Xu Xian was pretending to be sick. It's just that the channels of learning are different. casually peeled an orange for himself, and said secretly: "I won't eat any fruit in the future......"
Ning Ruxue deduced from Ye Wen's posture of being a hanger and not worried, and Huayi was about the same, it can only be said that Xu Xian's performance was very good, and Ye Wen was much worse.
Huang Rongrong and Xu Xian's exercises are in the same vein, and they don't believe that Xu Xian will be troubled by the cold. To say that Ning Ruxue is not clear because she has not really practiced the Pure Yang Supreme Gong, she may believe it, and how can Huang Rongrong not know? Not to mention that when she practiced the Eight Desolations [***] Solipsist Martial Arts, she also felt the power of Xu Xian's Pure Yang True Qi, so she didn't believe it even more, and just asked a few words to know that Xu Xian wanted to resign under the pretext of excuses.
Many disciples were not told, but they were also somewhat skeptical, such as the more intelligent ones, most of whom knew it, but they didn't say it explicitly.
Perhaps the only one who firmly believes that his uncle is indeed seriously ill is Guo Jing, and from time to time he also sends something to his uncle, which makes Xu Xian have a lot of changes in his opinion of this stunned guy, knowing that he has obtained the mantra of Pure Yang Wuji Gong, and will guide him from time to time, which can also make this person take fewer detours.
A month later, not only did the court's reply come down, but the Shushan faction's annual big competition also came to an end. This time, as Ye Wen expected, there were no particularly outstanding disciples, so the one who won the first place was only Ye Wen who taught a set of sword techniques of the Wind and Falling Goose, as for how far he could practice, it would depend on the disciple's own surname, which was also the biggest difference between the outer disciples and the personal disciples.
After these busyness, Ning Ruxue and Ye Wen's life also passed one after another, and the two of them did not make any publicity, but it was even the past for close people to have a light meal together.
One winter, walking slowly in this kind of blandness, this winter the Shushan faction did almost nothing, Ye Wen just stayed in the mountains to cultivate, from time to time with Ning Ruxue walked around the mountains, chatted, and spoofed the disciples from time to time.
For example, he taught Liu Muyan to draw a four-panel comic strip and let Guo Jing practice Lushan to ascend to the dragon - but unfortunately because there is no waterfall in Shushan, there is a lack of a suitable practice venue.
Of course, these are just spoofs in your spare time, just have fun, and you will also tell you that these are used to relax your mood, don't take it seriously, otherwise you will really teach the apprentice and he will have no place to cry.
As for Yue Ning, he is now concentrating on practicing Zixia Gong, and now he has crossed the threshold, and has practiced a trace of Zixia True Qi, this kind of entry made Ye Wen also surprised, secretly Dao This apprentice's talent in Qi training is not bad, I think that as long as he practices diligently, it will not be difficult to practice Innate Purple Qi in the future.
Zhou Zhiruo's age is a little older, and the girl's family has developed earlier, and now she has gradually become an adult, and her height has also changed a lot, and it is estimated that her height will be finalized in another year or two.
Xu Ping's sword kung fu has begun to come to the final stage, the Xuanxu Knife Technique plus the Blood Knife Technique plus the Five Tiger Broken Door Knife and then cooperate with the many existing swordsmanship of the Shushan School, and finally the Yin and Yang Inverted Blade Method, which is definitely stronger than the power of the original, to what extent Xu Ping can reach in the future Ye Wen is also a little curious now.
Liu Muyan is still practicing the Quanxin Heart Method, but Guo Jing has begun to touch the threshold of the Pure Yang Wuji Gong, this kid is simple-minded, maybe he is the most suitable person to cultivate this internal skill. Many of the problems in the introductory stage were not problems for him at all - he didn't even realize them when he practiced, and he just practiced them.
"Everyone has their own blessings!"
Seeing that this disciple didn't need to be guided by himself at all, Ye Wen sighed with emotion and let him cultivate on his own.
As for himself, the Tianxin Lotus Ring was more and more handy for him to use, and at the same time, after several months of experiments, he even brought Xu Xian as the object of practice (he didn't dare to practice with Ning Ruxue, because this junior sister would kill someone as soon as she made a move), and experimented with this Tianxin Lotus Ring.
In the end, he found that the normal power of his purple lotus qi was weaker than that of the original version, and without the scorching special surname that could burn the opponent's meridians, Ye Wen's lotus strength was almost the same as the power of a palm that would normally condense a lot of true qi. It's not even as domineering as the trick 'Purple Qi from the East' that he came up with.
It's just that the stamina of the Tianxin Lotus Ring is more than that of the Purple Qi East, and it can be used as an ordinary move to fight against people non-stop, unlike the Purple Qi Donglai, even if he relies on the innate Purple Qi Divine Spirit, it will take a few seconds to return to the Qi.
At the same time, the changes of his purple lotus are also more repeated, and the strength contained in it can also be changed slightly, so although it is not as strong and domineering as the original, the power is not necessarily much worse.
What's even more interesting is that in these months, there is a fellow Jianghu who has some friendship with Liu Qingfeng of the Hushan faction, and after suffering internal injuries, he took Liu Qingfeng's letter to ask Ye Wen for treatment. Ye Wen casually slapped out a lotus flower and placed it on the Baihui acupoint above this person's head, and then the purple lotus rotated, and the strength entered from the top, and when this lotus flower became smaller and smaller and finally disappeared completely, this person's internal injuries had already healed, and he could recover as long as he adjusted himself.
"I'll go, heals wow!
Ye Wenwen was just experimenting with it, and he didn't want it to really have such a miraculous effect - anyway, he was just guarding him, and it was impossible for something to happen. It seems that his lotus can not only hurt people, but also save people.
"The Divine Horse Holy Light Technique, the Holy Healing Technique, and the Rejuvenation Technique are all floating clouds, and as soon as the purple lotus of this head comes out, any negative state will disappear immediately!"
Secretly smug in his heart, he accepted the man's thanks with a smile at the same time, and finally asked, "How is Liu Zhenren doing?"
In fact, Liu Qingfeng didn't write anything in this letter, but he said that the person in front of him had a little friendship with him at the beginning, and he was also a little kind to himself, but now that this person is injured, it is difficult for him to sit idly by, and he has no choice but to ask him to find Ye Wen.
Now that the Hushan faction has heard about the events at the martial arts conference, Liu Qingfeng's senior brother Zhao Mingyue also regrets not being at the beginning, and made a mistake for a while, resulting in the current relationship between the two factions being far worse than at the beginning. Fortunately, Liu Qingfeng has some friendship with Ye Wen, and the Shushan faction will not come to him for trouble with the Hushan faction, at most he will be polite when dealing with the Shushan faction in the future.
After the Shushan faction became famous, the disciples of the Hushan faction didn't think anything about it, but said that this neighbor who suddenly appeared was lucky, but Zhao Mingyue knew that Ye Wen could make a big splash at the martial arts conference, and his martial arts would definitely be extraordinary. What's more, Ye Wen also had a big battle with the leader of the Tianle Gang, regardless of victory or defeat, Zhao Mingyue was not arrogant enough to think that he had such strength.
It's just that it's too late to regret it now, it just so happens that Liu Qingfeng's old man came to him for help, and he deliberately mentioned a sentence or two on the side, Liu Qingfeng couldn't wipe his face before he wrote to this person and asked him to find Ye Wen, otherwise Liu Qingfeng might not have written this letter.
These things were more or less vaguely mentioned in the letter, Ye Wen also knew that Liu Laodao was now in an embarrassing situation where he was not a two-sided person, thinking that this old man was not a bad person, and his senior brother's idea was not a mistake, at least the Hushan faction did not do anything that was really harmful to the Shushan faction.
So during the conversation with this person, I wrote a letter by the way, asking him to bring it back to Liu Qingfeng. In addition, there is also a letter to the head of the Hushan faction, the content is not unusual, but it shows that the two families have no grudges and no grudges, and they used to have a little friendship.
The words in the letter were also neither humble nor humble, but there was no domineering meaning, Ye Wen read it twice and then sealed the letter and handed it to the man.
This person had just received Ye Wen's life-saving grace, so naturally he would not postpone it, not to mention such a thing as carrying a letter, so he nodded directly. didn't even mention that his hometown was actually in the other direction, and if he went to Hushan, he was completely going around in circles.
At the same time, Ye Wen didn't expect that he would cure this person by shooting a purple lotus in his hand, and because he went around in a big circle, he publicized this matter, and invisibly helped the Shushan faction and himself to improve their reputation.
As soon as he praised his miraculous skills, he even treated people's injuries at will, and he could make people heal with a wave of his hand.
Second, praise him for his high righteousness, helpfulness, and very kind to others, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it is hard to believe that such a famous master on the rivers and lakes is so polite to a nobody.
"Master Ye is worthy of the name of a gentleman!"
This remark was almost turned around in Pingzhou several times in the next paragraph, and this situation was even more obvious after a few more people cheekily went to the Shushan faction for help.
In fact, it was not a big deal for these people to ask for help, although Ye Wen came forward, it was not him who went to solve the matter, most of them sent disciples such as Xu Ping and Zhou Ding. It can be regarded as helping many disciples of the Shushan faction to make some names.
But because these people ask to see each other, Ye Wen will come forward to meet him, and with these rumors, it is rumored how strong Ye Wen's martial arts are, and many people in the rivers and lakes feel that it is really rare for such a master to come to see him in person, and there are naturally more words of praise. Subsequently, Xu Ping and others were also extremely competitive, as long as they went out, they could solve the matter smoothly, which made the prestige of this Shushan faction stronger and stronger.
After the New Year, the guests on the Shushan faction gradually increased, and even some of them were just passing by, but they all had to go up the mountain to visit, Ye Wen was not tired of it, but all the visitors would come out to meet him one by one, he was not happy to do these things, but he knew that the rise of the Shushan faction was too short, and many people only heard of its name and did not see it, so they would be a little suspicious in their hearts, and even a little contemptible, Ye Wenlu showed his face to consolidate the prestige of the Shushan faction.
At the same time, meeting people throughout the whole is also helping the Shushan faction to lay down a huge network of relationships -- it is because of this huge network of relationships that many traditional factions have stood tall in the rivers and lakes! Just like the Lei Jian Gate, which is rampant in Dongzhou, it is only because of the network of relations that it has been operating for many years that it has been able to remain stable. If it weren't for Huang Rongrong, this sect would not have dissipated overnight.
After being busy for a whole day, as soon as he sat down when he returned to his yard, Hua Yi wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief: "Master is tired again today!"
After getting along for a long time, Huayi's surname gradually recovered, and it was not as restrained as it was at the beginning. This is also what Ye Wen expects, maybe he thinks that this is the only way to be a gorgeous dress, if it is so beneficial, it is better to buy a maid directly. Obedient and honest and can do anything, it's better than Huayi, which can prick his fingers into eleven holes even by sewing and mending clothes.
However, it's still very appropriate to do a little thing like wiping sweat, and it's really tight to take such a servant girl out, a few times a few young heroes came to Pingzhou to pass by Shushan, and when they saw Huayi when they visited the mountain, their eyes were about to fall out, especially when Huayi said that she was the servant girl of the head of Ye, the expressions of these people, Ye Wen would want to laugh every time he thought of it.
Feeling the handkerchief wipe the sweat off his forehead and bring a burst of fragrant wind, Ye Wen only felt that this kind of life was what he wanted, and even had the illusion of living a happy life surrounded by his wife and concubine when he returned home every day during the day.
Just as soon as he opened his eyes, Ning Ruxue, who happened to come back from practice, had his eyes that were about to breathe fire and beat him back to reality.
"Senior sister is back!"
Ning Ruxue hummed without being salty, and then went back to the room to change her clothes, Hua Yi saw Ye Wen's embarrassed appearance, covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "The slave maid went to serve the lady to change her clothes!" and disappeared.
"The goal of a beautiful wife and concubine doesn't seem to be so easy to achieve!"
Just as he was sighing, he saw Xu Xian walking in with a red lotus flower in his hand, and said to Ye Wen with a smile: "Senior brother, I have finally practiced!"
Seeing the lotus flower in Xu Xian's hand, Ye Wen also congratulated him a few times, and at the same time remembered that his junior brother didn't know what was going on, he originally thought that according to the qualifications of this Xu Dagongzi, learning this kung fu was not easy to capture?
"How is the effect?" However, after all, it was practiced, and Ye Wen was also curious about whether there was anything special about the lotus energy released by Xu Xian.
I saw Xu Xian shake his head: "The effect is similar to what you described at the beginning, Senior Brother, Rong Rong tried a trick, and after being entered by this lotus power, she only felt that it was scorching and unbearable, and her meridians were burning." ”
Ye Wen thought for a while, and finally only said: "Xu is that the number of paths of your internal strength is already in harmony with the number of paths of this Heavenly Heart Lotus Ring, so the lotus energy you use is closest to its original effect!"
Xu Xian also felt that this was the case, and he was a little depressed that his lotus strength was nothing special, but he quickly put this matter aside, and casually pulled out his long sword: "By the way, senior brother, look!"
Before Ye Wen could ask what to see, he saw Xu Xian's long sword tremble a few times, and then seven or eight red lotuses appeared and flew towards Ye Wen, not only with a slight feeling of heat, but even with a bit of sharpness of the blade.
"Use the sword technique to cast the Heavenly Heart Lotus Ring?" Ye Wen finally understood why Xu Xian had been practicing this kung fu for so long, and he felt that this senior brother Xu wanted to integrate this kung fu into the sword technique, no wonder it took so much time.
With a flip of his palm, and then a burst of continuous beatings, seven or eight purple lotus flowers came out of his hand, and each of his seven or eight lotus flowers had different strengths, only to see that after Xu Xian's red lotus flowers hit Ye Wen's purple lotus, they either dissipated in the air together with the purple lotus in an instant, or they suddenly turned around and flew to the side, or they advanced against the purple lotus for a while, but they flew slower and slower, and finally disappeared, and the purple lotus continued to move forward, but it had no stamina and then disappeared into the air.
Seven or eight lotus flowers, each with its own difference, shows the wonder of Ye Wen's kung fu, not to mention that his internal strength is higher than Xu Xian, one of them is purely to suppress people with force, directly crushing the red lotus into pieces and going straight to Xu Xian, forcing Xu Xian to parry with his horizontal sword, the sword blade was shaken and shaking, and let out a long groan.
"Senior brother's kung fu seems to have improved again!"
Ye Wen smiled and said nothing, although it was difficult to continue to improve the internal strength at these times, but he pondered the use of the Tianxin Lotus Ring all the time, and came up with many wonderful uses for the use of internal strength, not to mention that his innate purple qi was peaceful, no matter the strength of rigidity and softness, it could be used, the changes were complicated, and the opponent had to deal with it a little more difficult, it was indeed a little stronger.
"Senior brother, let's take a look at this trick again!"
I saw that Ye Wen's words fell, his body did not move, and a thin burst of purple qi suddenly flashed out of his body and scattered around, like a bubble swelling up, Xu Xian was still on guard at the beginning, but this air cover became wider and bigger, and in the end, there was about two zhang in a square circle, and even he was covered in it, and when the thin purple qi slid over his body, there was no harm, which couldn't help but make Xu Xian a little strange.
"What is this?"
I don't want to feel wrong as soon as I speak, I just feel like my whole body is wrapped around something, and it takes a little more effort to raise my arms and feet. It's not obvious, but when it comes to fighting the enemy to the death, a little nuance alone is enough to be fatal.
Feeling the feeling of being entangled, Xu Xian immediately understood what this move was: "Purple Qi Tianluo?"
Ye Wen nodded, and at the same time withdrew his strength, and sighed: "It's a pity that it is only a prototype, if you can maintain this aura for a long time, it can be regarded as a great achievement!"
