Chapter 18 Sense of Qi
A few streets south of Fukang Fang, there is Tai'an Fang, which is the closest Fangshi to the South City Gate.
Because it is close to the city gate, there is a large flow of people, and the streets are mixed with people. Most people are not willing to live here. There are mainly shops and inns on both sides, and further inside there are shacks where the poor gather. It has always been quite dirty.
But there is a big house deep down, occupying a corner of the house, and it is quite luxurious. The front door is not too ostentatious, just two ebony doors with the word "Hong Mansion" hanging on them. There are not many people coming in and out. It looks like an inconspicuous private residence of a wealthy family.
Only those with some status in Nancheng know that this is the center of power in the south of the city. Because this Hong Mansion is where the main hall of the Longya Gang is located.
Boss Hong has the final say whether there will be chaos in the south of the city or not.
If merchants from other places want to do business here, they must come here to pay their respects to the pier. And no matter how rich you are, you can only enter through the side door. No one has ever entered Hong Mansion through the main entrance.
As for the Long Ya Gang, they usually enter and exit through the back door.
On this day, an inconspicuous middle-aged salesman walked into the back door of Hong Mansion carrying a pole. When he reached the corridor in the courtyard, he threw away his burden and hurried forward along the wide stone road until he came to a side hall.
The plaque on the upper gate reads "Leopard Hall".
"Master, things didn't work out again!" the salesman said loudly as soon as he crossed the threshold.
Above the seat, there is a scribe wearing a Confucian shirt and a Confucian crown. He is about forty years old and has a mustache. He looks gentle and gentle, but there is a sinister look in his eyes. People feel uncomfortable.
This person is the leader of the Leopard Hall of the Longya Gang, Bai Zhishan.
He looked over calmly and said, "What's going on? Speak slowly."
"The few people originally sent to make trouble have become the ones who went to the Nancheng General Office. The imperial guards also arrived. Before they could intervene, several imperial guards from the Fukangfang station rushed out and exposed their tricks in a few words, and arrested the people from the general office to stop them. There was a fight between the two parties! The people we were looking for were beaten away, and the troublemakers were also arrested," the salesman said.
From what he said, he must have witnessed the whole process from the sidelines.
“It’s from Fukangfang again.” Bai Zhishan frowned slightly.
"Yes, and the person who arrested this time is the same person who solved the arson case last time! They are both the guards!" said the salesman.
"That Congwei..." Bai Zhishan gently blew the tea in the cup, the light in his eyes flickered.
The idea of freezing phosphorus powder to set fire last time was his idea. He was quite proud at first. He thought that by the time the wastes of the Imperial Guard solved the case, the merchants on Linmen Street would have been driven away long ago.
Unexpectedly, it was broken within a few days.
It was a guard who solved the case at that time, and this time it was the same person again.
"The gang leader has been in a bad mood recently. The news about the Tower of Babel can hardly be suppressed. If Linmen Street is not captured, it may not fall into our hands." Bai Zhishan murmured: "When the time comes we will Baotang is not doing his job well and will definitely be punished."
"The head of the Ministry of Industry was assassinated recently, and the murderer has not yet been arrested. The Ministry of Industry is about to be thoroughly investigated, and Zou Fang of the Imperial Guard is not coming forward. You will definitely not blame us at this time.”
“…”
"Although I don't want to touch anyone in the officialdom, a mere Congwei has ruined our good deeds several times, so we have to take action. Find out where Congwei's family lives, and go to Hutang to call some shady brothers. , ambushing him at the door of his house. As soon as he comes home tomorrow, he will immediately break his hands and feet and throw him into the river outside the city to give him a small lesson."
"Yes!" The salesman said with a fist. Take the order and leave.
The Longya Gang has four halls: Tiger, Leopard, Eagle and Bear. Among them, the Eagle Hall is responsible for inquiring about information, the Leopard Hall is responsible for secretly making trouble, the Xiong Hall is responsible for linking up and down, and the Tiger Hall is responsible for direct action.
The four halls worked together to create such a huge force. How could the Longya Gang, who was like a giant beast in Nancheng, let a small stone sting their feet?
Bai Zhishan took a sip of tea and put down the cup.
Then he looked at the distance outside the door and said quietly: "You are young, you have to know who you can provoke and who you cannot provoke."...
"I have provoked someone recently. Some enemies, you should be more careful on weekdays."
After returning home, Liang Yue secretly called his younger brothers and sisters for a meeting and warned them.
Because of the incident on Linmen Street, he, the Longya Gang and Zou Huainan all had grudges, and he didn’t know if the other party would retaliate. Everyone must be a little afraid of the forces of black and white.
He himself spends most of his time in the residence, and his strength has grown rapidly recently, so he is not very worried about safety issues. Liang Yue is more worried about the other party being unethical and attacking his family.
"Try not to act alone. If a stranger asks you to go somewhere, don't agree. If you are in danger at home, ask your neighbors for help..." He warned some things that need to be paid attention to. .
“Don’t worry, big brother.” Liang Xiaoyun smiled softly, “We can protect ourselves and our mother, and just mind our own business.”
“That’s right!” Liang Peng also nodded heavily.
"Ha." Liang Yue also smiled. The wisdom of his younger brothers and sisters was indeed quite reassuring. He turned to look at Liang Peng and asked: "Didn't you go to see the doctor? How about it?"
"Well..." Liang Peng paused, and suddenly smiled, and said: "The doctor said that I don't have any symptoms, and he invited a qualified Qi practitioner to come over and confirm that I had a feeling of Qi."< br>
“A sense of energy?” Liang Yue and Liang Xiaoyun said in surprise at the same time.
"It should be the fight with Zhen Xiaohao. It was a rare effort on my part that opened up my Qi meridians." Liang Peng said: "The Qi refiner said that my Qi sense is not weak, and my meridians are open. There are more than The talent for qi refining is quite outstanding.”
“That’s great.” Liang Xiaoyun said with a smile: “Our family is going to have a qi refining warrior.”
Generating qi means. The Qi meridians are connected and can communicate with heaven and earth - this is the basis of the Qi practitioner's practice.
Ordinary people cannot feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth with their breathing. After the sense of energy is generated, the spiritual energy can be absorbed into every breath and breath. Maybe it was because of this that Liang Peng felt dizzy before.
This spiritual breath is too pure, boss!
The reason why the number of Qi practitioners in the world is so rare is that only one in a million can produce Qi sense.
"The journey of cultivation is difficult, and I don't know where I can go." Liang Peng was very calm, not at all like the ecstatic young people who had turned on their Qi sense.
"You have always been smart, and once you become a Qi Refiner, you will definitely have superior understanding." Liang Xiaoyun encouraged: "Then you can prepare now to pass the Kendo Academy."
"If you are talented enough, it is not bad to become a Taoist cultivator." Liang Yue also said: "Be a Taoist cultivator who lives in seclusion in the world, Yunding Immortal Mountain, high above the world!"
The Kendo Academy is for Confucian Qi practitioners. The Holy Land is filled with Confucian cultivators who focus on both cultivation and scholarship.
The Eight Meridians of Xuanmen are the orthodoxy of Taoist Qi practitioners and the oldest inheritance in the world.
The so-called three religions of spiritual masters, excluding the Buddhist Zen sect who wants to be a monk, what Liang Peng faces now are the two paths of Confucianism and Taoism.
Of course there is also the legendary demon sect, which naturally will not be taken into consideration by Liang Peng.
It is said that those cultivators of the demon sect sacrifice their bones and blood to improve their cultivation. They are most looking forward to chaos in the world, because in troubled times, the demon sect rises and in prosperous times, the demon sect dies. And now the Yin Dynasty is in its prime. A hundred years ago, Demon Lord Dongyue Peak was crushed by Zhangxuan Tianshi Chen Yandao. Today's demon cultivators can be said to have disappeared, and many people may not know their existence.
Among the two choices between Confucianism and Taoism, the Kendo Academy requires not only the talent for refining qi, but also the acumen for reading and learning. Liang Peng is definitely not lacking in this aspect. The Eight Meridians of Taoism are more pure. They only look at talent, and even those who are even slightly less qualified are not allowed to join.
From the perspective of cultivation, it is obvious that Xuanmen cultivators have a higher status, because the realm of immortals in Xuanmen has almost never been cut off in the past dynasties, which is far beyond the inheritance of Confucianism cultivators.
"No." But Liang Peng's tone was very firm, and it seemed that he had already made up his mind, "I want to take the exam at the Kendo Academy, and then still take part in the imperial examination and become an official in the court... That is the real way of being superior. .”
