Chapter 148 Before Leaving
When Xie Yuan opened his eyes again, he looked at the somewhat different beams and ceiling above his head and blinked a few times.
I haven’t slept here for a long time. I almost forgot that this is my bed...
He sat up and looked around. He saw that the room was empty again, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Habit.
There is no need to fetch water for others.
Xie Yuan quickly fetched water and washed himself. The cold water of late spring splashed on his face. It did not freeze him, but only refreshed him. He finally regained the energy he had spent reading the Black Sky Book.
Walking to the courtyard, he stood quietly in front of the flower bed for a moment, took a deep breath of the fragrance of the blooming flowers, and then strode out.
In Shen Longteng’s study.
The energetic and rosy old escort looked at Xie Yuan with a smile on his face. Since the death of the Vajra Gate, Shen Longteng's face, which was already rosy due to abundant energy and blood, was filled with joy every day, as if he had a second spring. He even went to escorts a few times himself, showing that he was in high spirits during happy events.
He smiled:
"Xie Yuan, why do you come to my place when you have time? Others say that you practice magic skills behind closed doors, and some people say that you spend all day fetching food and secretly raising a beautiful girl in there, haha. You little boy, I don't believe it. You are so hungry and thirsty, and you eat so much, is it because your skills have improved recently? When will you catch up with me?"
Xie Yuan laughed dryly:
"Chief escort head You know that I don’t care about anything except practicing martial arts.”
“After all, I am a young man with no hair at all. But you should be eighteen years old, so it’s time for you to save yourself some trouble. Traveling all over the world, you should experience a lot of things. You should experience what it's like to be a woman as soon as possible, so as not to suffer in the future."
Shen Longteng said with a meaningful smile.
Xie Yuan maintained a polite smile and turned around:
"Chief escort, I came to you today to report something."
"Oh? You said it."< br>
"Yu Chunsheng's immediate boss and backer Peng Yue was transferred away recently..."
Xie Yuan then excerpted the relevant parts of Situ Qin's letter and gave it to Shen in detail. Long Teng narrates.
After hearing this, Shen Longteng touched the steel whiskers under his jaw and squinted his eyes:
"He is following the path of Peng Yue, the prosecutor of punishment. I know that, and I have recently heard that there is something big going on in Fucheng." , but I didn’t know it was so detailed. Xie Yuan, you are very well informed.”
The escort agency has been operating for many years, and its influence is limited to a few places in northern Yunzhou.
Shen Longteng, who has been famous for decades, does not have enough connections at this level, so Xie Yuan even got first-hand information?
Seeing Shen Longteng's expression of admiration and surprise, Xie Yuan said modestly:
"I was recuperating in Fucheng before, and I just heard about it from a friend."
"It's unusual for a friend like you to hear such news."
The old guard was thoughtful, but didn't say much. Instead of exploring, he slowly said:
"Peng Yue went to Beijing, and Yu Chunsheng There is no backing above, no foundation below, a complete duckweed.”
Thinking back to those days... No, not long ago, Yu Chunsheng still had a strong backing, and the Vajra Sect energy provided endless support. Yunzhao's position was so deep-rooted that neither the escort agency nor the county magistrate could do anything to him.
And now...
Shen Longteng's eyes flashed, and a stern expression flashed:
"It will be easy to handle now, his official uniform will not last long. As for the things he did, Digging it out for him doesn’t require any further action. He has no one to protect him. It's time to go to prison soon. Whether it's a big job or a small job, there are still many people interested in it...
"Haha, I don't know about Yu Xian. Wei entered the prison that his family had controlled for many years, and it was clear whether his buttocks could be saved. ”
Shen Longteng was born into a wealthy family and was never polite in his speech. He was so high-spirited and laughed so hard that the window paper shook.
Xie Yuan also sighed a little. Not long ago, he felt that Yu Chunsheng would be difficult to defeat quickly, but in the blink of an eye, the situation has reversed. I am afraid that not only the escort agency and his family are watching him.
However, whether it was his foundation, Jin Gangmen, or his backer, Peng Yue, it seemed that he had lost it himself.
Xie Yuan felt relieved, but not completely.
Have you been staring at me and trying to harm me? It's not that easy to forget.
My own hatred, the hatred of the escort agency... Thinking of the things Yu Chunsheng did, they must be dealt with in the end before they are over.
Seeing that Shen Longteng was already planning a breakthrough, Xie Yuan pulled Yu Chunsheng off his horse and drank tea quietly beside him.
After a while, Shen Longteng came back to his senses, looked at Xie Yuan, and praised:
"Xie Yuan, if the escort agency hadn't picked up this treasure of yours, I'm afraid the Vajra Gate would have been destroyed today. Even showing off his power. Hiss, that was what they wanted in the first place. It was because of you that Xingyang accepted you in. Haha, you really offended someone you shouldn't have..."
Xie Yuan said a few words modestly, and Shen Longteng asked again:
"Xie Yuan. , have you made much progress in your recent practice?”
"It was a fluke that I broke through the fourth practice." Xie Yuan said.
It has been a few days since he broke through to the fourth level of practice, but he never told others. In fact, during this period, he spent all day in the small courtyard, how could he have time to communicate with others?
Shen Longteng was startled for a moment, as if surprised and expected, his reaction was not too big. Anyway, with Xie Yuan's talent, it seems normal for him to break through every once in a while.
He sighed:
"Your cultivation speed is truly unprecedented in my life. Will you be ready to leave the escort agency in a while?"
Xie Yuan nodded silently.
In addition to talking about Yu Chunsheng today, he also said goodbye in advance and got a vaccination. He is not new to the fourth training. He will polish it for a while and make a new plan.
"Are you planning to go to Yunshan Sword Sect? I heard from Old Wu that the deacon has left."
Shen Longteng asked.
The Lin brothers and sisters had said goodbye to them a few days ago, and also conveyed Cui Zhi's regrets, saying that he could go to Yunshan's outer gate to find him whenever he wanted to figure it out.
Xie Yuan shook his head:
"The Yunshan Sword Sect is not suitable for me. What's the next step... I haven't thought about it yet. I may travel to Yunzhou Prefecture or Yanzhou in the northeast. Maybe go directly to the capital, the Central Plains or Jiangnan. The world is so big, I want to see it.” >
"I also had this idea when I was young. In the escort business, I even thought that I could not stick to one place and look around. Maybe one day, I could plant the escort flags of Longteng Escort all over the country. At that time, I still thought, 'Yunzhou Longteng, Longteng Yunzhou' journey , I am so humble! After so many years, I have only made a name for myself in half of Yunzhou, but looking back, I have spent most of my life..."
The old guard sighed for a while. Looking at Xie Yuan's vitality, he seemed to see his own youthful shadow.
But he felt that Xie Yuan must be different from him.
He smiled slightly and asked:
"It's a pity that you don't plan to join the Yunshan Sword Sect. It's a good place... But you must have your own ideas. There is no need to say more. Say. How do you think about your subsequent practice? Do you have any clues about the transformation of qi and blood?"
Xie Yuan pondered for a moment. He asked Mu Chaoyun, but the grandmaster just asked him to practice step by step. The golden bell was enough for him to achieve the transformation of Qi and blood naturally.
As for the special skills and tips that others said were needed to break through this great realm, and the methods to stimulate the body's potential, Mu Chaoyun said that he did not need them and did not go into details.
I don’t know what it means. Could it be that he has this golden finger? This cannot be done.
And even if Xie Yuan has special abilities, as long as he has the skills, he can keep practicing without encountering bottlenecks. But if there is no follow-up, for example, the previous Iron Cloth Shirt is a technique that only reaches the second level, he cannot just use the Iron Cloth Shirt to make something out of nothing - unless he understands the golden bell behind it. Just like a road, no matter how difficult it is, Xie Yuan can walk on it, provided that it is a road.
Although the golden bell can reach the realm of Qi and blood transformation, if there is a special method to cross this great realm, it will be more beneficial in the long run if it is accumulated, polished, solid foundation, and accumulated. But there is no similar trick in the Golden Bell Cover technique he learned.
Why does Mu Chaoyun look like he's too lazy to tell me? Am I basically that good?
Seeing his silence, Shen Longteng said to himself:
"Although I reached the realm of Qi and Blood Transformation, it was just a coincidence. To be honest, I don't know how to break through.
“Many years ago, a noble man from the escort agency not only saved my life, but also later helped me set up the escort agency, and gave me a training formula that helped me break through the realm. But I tried that formula on Lao Wei and Lao Chu, but it had no effect. However, it was specially used for the special purpose because of my cultivation situation. "
Shen Longteng shook his head and did not talk more about the escort agency's past, but continued:
"So I was lucky enough to make a breakthrough, but it was difficult to sustain. For many years, I had just reached the level of Qi and blood changes, neither above nor below. In addition to having no method, there is also no internal strength... Hey, if there is a method to cultivate, maybe there is also It’s different. But at my current age, I’m afraid it’s too late.
“Xie Yuan, you must pay attention to your breakthrough in the future. If you can find your inner strength as soon as possible, you must practice it. Although it is difficult, it is the key to helping you go far in the future. In theory, one can reach the peak state of Qi and blood transformation by purely practicing external skills, but that is theory. In fact, according to my estimation, it will only change twice at most. If there are no special circumstances, it will be the end. As for the higher-level master realm, I have never heard of anyone who only practices external martial arts..."
The old guard leader was good at teaching and taught earnestly. Xie Yuan listened attentively.
Even though there are many things Xie Yuan already knew, But he sincerely accepted this intention and the elder's experience and wisdom, and kept it in his heart.
After that, Xie Yuan returned to his small courtyard, practiced every day, and gradually got used to living alone. .
He hesitated for a long time about the bathtub in the house, but still sat there quietly, using the bathtub he had acquired later.
What if it is still useful in the future?
Every time he looked at the small flower garden, which was beautifully arranged, Xie Yuan could always think of a cold master who lived here for many years and left indelible traces.
I have been practicing behind closed doors in the courtyard all day long, taking care of Mu Chaoyun for a long time.
Although he has a special status, Xie Yuan still thinks about whether he should go to the big escort a few more times before leaving to use his remaining energy and do something in his own profession? It’s better to say goodbye later.
However, on this day, he suddenly had another visitor in his courtyard.
