Chapter 102 Sacrifice and Refining the Flying Sword
After a lot of running around, Xu Qing returned to Jiangning Mansion.
With the money from this business, and the fact that Su Lianqing took over the remnants of the Lotus Sect on his behalf, even excluding the goods to King Lin Tian and the money to buy the Golden Light Curse from the Jinguang Temple, he Still quite abundant.
When the money is in place, the power will develop quickly and steadily.
However, Xinzhi County has already taken office, with the surname Zheng.
It comes from the Zheng family of Jinyang, but it is not a direct line, but a branch.
There are many children of this kind of ruined gentry in today's Yu Dynasty.
In the medieval times, even if they fell into a poor family, no matter how bad they were, they were still landlords. Nowadays, there are too many scholars, and the family fortunes are falling rapidly.
Therefore, Zheng Zhixian’s purpose in coming to Nanzhili is very pure, that is, to make money.
But when Xu Qing came back from Yingtian Prefecture, he got the news that Zheng Zhixian County was assigned to Qingshui County, the prefecture of Jiangning Prefecture. This was due to the relationship with the Duke of Wei.
Magistrate He also sent Wang Guard to hint to Xu Qing that if it was official business, he would not be able to suppress Magistrate Zheng.
But Magistrate He didn’t know that Wei Guogong sent the master of the Eagle Claw Sect to kill Xu Qing.
Xu Qing knew very well that this guy came here to make money in name, but in fact he was afraid that he had the task of being a bus agent in the state of Wei.
“A strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake, it’s just a matter of showing off every move.”
The Wei Guogong Mansion is certainly scary, but if it hurts the opponent, such a big family and a big business will feel sad. Scruples.
Xu Qing was not unprepared for this.
While he was practicing, he had already begun to refine the "Peach Wood Sword".
The method of refining the Taomu Sword is not complicated at all.
In addition to the traditional blood refining method of pouring water with your heart and establishing a connection between the mind and the mind, you also need to understand its breathing.
This is also what makes this sword special.
Ordinary magic weapons are mostly dead objects.
The Taomu Sword is different. It is a magic sword made from a single piece of lightning strike wood.
Thunder also has a way of creation.
It has the vitality created by thunder in its body, and coupled with the sacrifices of the Lotus Sect through the ages, it has a unique life. Its breathing method is very special, somewhere between the soul and the physical body.
And if the master sacrifices it, it can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
If Xu Qing hadn't practiced the Golden Light Curse and had abundant energy and blood born every day, he would have been unable to withstand the consumption of the peach wood sword.
The great elder of the Lotus Sect used an evil skill to extract the essence of Qi and blood from boys and girls through tonics to supply the Qi and blood required for the sacrifice of the peach wood sword, and through this, he The body remains in a state close to its peak.
Just close.
He has not practiced Zang, and the hidden damage to his organs cannot be repaired. As time goes by, a warrior who does not practice Zang, no matter how young he looks, will not slow down the aging rate on the inside.
The so-called cultivators tell the truth and adopt the new. Only when they reach the step of practicing the internal organs can they be considered as entering the palace.
Moreover, many hidden injuries of the physical body require the state of Zang training to be completely healed.
Of course, there are doctors with extremely high medical skills who can achieve the effect of repairing hidden injuries in the internal organs through medical skills. This kind of doctor is actually rarer than those who practice dirty martial arts.
Everyone can be called a national player.
Skilled doctors are often warriors. Their medical skills are not mystical, but they focus on practical operations and have a good understanding of the human body.
That’s why good doctors often turn into powerful killers very easily, and they are just as powerful when using poison.
Nowadays, in the Great Yu Dynasty, doctors who can be regarded as national experts are often not in Taiyuan Hospital.
Because the doctors at Tai Hospital tend to treat big shots, and no matter how bad they are, they are well-established. They tend to be conservative in their medication use, have relatively few cases in contact with them, and cannot accumulate enough experience.
When the powerful private doctors enter, they are easily squeezed out by the doctors from Taiyuan Hospital.
Your Majesty likes Taoist priests today because there are many Taoist priests who are proficient in medical science, even better than the doctors in Taiyuan Hospital. In addition, there is another important reason. Taoist priests are from outside and it is not easy. be penetrated.
The emperor was called a loner because people were thinking about him all day long.
There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me. I say it as a joke, but it is also true.
It’s cold at high places.
The more proficient in imperial power, the more suspicious he becomes of the people around him.
If Xu Qing cannot cultivate to the level of Martial Saint in the future, he will definitely become suspicious.
Fortunately, he has a bronze mirror and has a better prediction of his own misfortunes.
But if one day there is a mistake in the bronze mirror's luck assessment, will Xu Qing believe it again?
In the end, there is no one in the universe that can be relied upon. The only one who can be relied on is me!
The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for spring to bloom.
In the courtyard, the plane trees become lush and green.
Probably because Xu Qing practices the Golden Light Curse every day and is full of Qi and blood, his Yang Qi makes the old Wutong tree particularly full of vitality this year.
At the same time, Ziwei Imperial Vein is only one minute away from being opened.
But this is a difficult situation, so don’t be impatient.
In addition, the portion of spirit fox flesh and blood given by Lin Tianwang was also exhausted.
Xu Qing’s progress in martial arts training has also slowed down a lot.
After getting used to the assistance of spiritual medicine, it is very irritating to return to the normal level of cultivation.
Xu Qing suppressed the irritability in his heart and continued to practice step by step every day.
In cultivation, there are times when you are brave and diligent, and there are times when water drops can penetrate the stone.
In any case, he has a bronze mirror and can see the feedback.
And the progress of his cultivation is really not slow. In less than a year, he can already be called a cultivator who has entered the palace, surpassing the accumulation of others for more than ten or twenty years.
At this time, it is also a good thing to stop and polish.
Xu Qing stood with his hands behind his back in the yard, the peach wood sword floating beside him. With his current soul power, he can already control the Taomu Sword normally, but it is far less lightning-fast than the Great Elder of the Lotus Sect back then.
In addition, after the sacrifice is successful, there is another benefit.
Previously, the peach wood sword was extremely heavy, comparable to gold and iron.
After the sacrifice, its weight gradually disappeared in Xu Qing’s soul perception.
This is also a characteristic of the magic weapon after it has been refined.
Xu Qing concentrated on controlling the peach wood sword and began to perform various sword skills.
Because it does not require hands to control, the degree of freedom of flying swords is far beyond that of ordinary swordsmen holding sharp swords.
"The way of the flying sword is the same as the way of the flying sword. If I see the opponent's flaw, I can fly over with a sword and hit the vital point, and the victory or defeat will be determined."
" It’s a bit like martial arts in the world, everything is invincible, except fast ones.”
"It's a pity that if you encounter a warrior with strong Qi and blood, the masculine blood of that person can directly suppress the thoughts of the soul in the flying sword. But if you deal with low-level warriors, the flying sword will be more effective."
Ten Beyond one step, the flying sword is very fast; within ten steps, the flying sword is fast and accurate.
Xu Qing had an idea and flew randomly towards the branches of the old sycamore tree. It looks like he is flying around, but in fact he is trimming Brother Shu's appearance, which is equivalent to cutting his hair.
After a while, Xu Qing looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, as if the sycamore tree was greeting him.
The fallen branches and leaves cannot be wasted. After drying, they are used for barbecue. It has a special fragrance of trees and is very delicious.

“Sir, a young master came to Jinguang Temple and said that Zheng San, the chief follower of the county magistrate, went to Jinguang Temple to retrieve the incense money with an incense certificate. The incense has been placed at Jinguang Temple The money was given, but the other party said that the amount was wrong and he had to ask for an extra portion of the incense money. Abbot Yankong also gave the money, but after sending the other party away, he sent the young master to inform you and want to ask your opinion. "Xu Fu reported the matter to Xu Qing.
He is now the housekeeper of the yard, and the affairs of the chicken farm have been handed over to Qiuxiang to handle the accounts.
Master Xu does not support idle people, everyone around him has to do things.
Of course, if the servants around you are too idle, they will be thinking about their master all day long.
While Xu Qing was deep in thought, Qiuxiang also came back, saying that there was trouble at the chicken farm and chicken plague started.
To be honest, the benefits of the chicken farm are not many, the key is the steady flow of water.
In addition, the chicken farm is also responsible for providing meat to the prefectural and county schools, so Xu Qing has a good reputation among the scholars studying in Jiangning Prefecture.
Coupled with Fushe, his nickname of Timely Rain is now very respected in the scholar circle.
It is normal for chicken farms to suffer from chicken plague.
Although Xu Qing asked them to pay more attention to this aspect on weekdays, the actual implementation of many things would always be compromised, not to mention that even if everything was done well, things would go wrong.
“But the timing is too coincidental.”
The incense money business of Jinguang Temple is actually similar to the function of a bank. Moreover, those who come to pay with Fushe's endorsement are often merchants or local forces who are friendly to Xu Qing.
The failure of this deal actually means that there is a problem with Xu Qing's local prestige.
…
…
“Gongming, there are rumors among the county and government schools that the chicken you sent was chicken infected with chicken plague. Everyone is very worried.” Yan Shan also came.
What he said was that Xu Qing expected the worst.
Rumors cannot be clarified, they will only become darker and darker.
In addition, probably not long after, many people made excuses to go to Jinguang Temple to withdraw their incense money.
At this time, Xu Fu and Yan Shan were a little anxious.
Xu Qing laughed instead and said: "Their movements were slower than I expected. Now that the suppression of bandits is almost over, they came. After all, they are a little more timid."
In fact, Xu Qing expected that they would make a fuss about suppressing bandits.
So Xu Qing had already set a trap.
Suppressing bandits and establishing customs was the biggest thing the imperial court did in southern Zhili. Watching from above.
As long as the other party comes to cause trouble and Xu Qing makes a little fuss, it will make the matter bigger, and who will suffer the consequences.
I never imagined that the suppression of bandits would go extremely smoothly.
“It can be said that they overestimated their courage to confront the imperial court.”
“Since you know you are afraid, what is there to be afraid of?”
Xu Qing was in a very calm mood. What should come will come sooner or later.
"Wei Zhong, you are a scholar and qualified to be a litigator. Come and write a petition for me."
"Who do you want to sue? Submit it to the government office?"
"No, this petition needs to be submitted to the county government. What I want to sue is Zheng San, the chief attendant of Zheng County."
"Ah." Yan Shan was surprised.
What is the difference between this and someone in the hall suing me?
Xu Qing said lightly: "Write it."
…
…
County government.
Zheng Zhixian looked at the paper in his hand and was furious, "This man is so lawless. Does he think my sword is not good for him?"
