Father's love is like a mountain

Chapter 23 The News of Gangsha Qi

Xia Yongchu practiced spells in the mountains for a few days before going back to the county.

Although his power is very stable, and the age is at its peak.

But after all, there are powerful enemies around, and the political arena of Chu State is also turbulent. A behemoth like the Xia Mansion, which has risen in recent years, will inevitably be involved.

Game of Thrones, even if you don’t want to be on the table, but if you have this power, others will not let you sit on the sidelines and force you to end.

Therefore, Xia Yongchu should not stay away from the power center of Xia Mansion for a long time, lest some people have wrong thoughts, or make small moves in private to force Xia Mansion into a path that Xia Yongchu never wants to take.

Back in Chiling County, Xia Yongchu embraced his beautiful wife and concubine, and teased the child who was not yet one year old for a while, only to feel that life was complete, and he didn't even want to fight anymore.

No wonder everyone said that ten feet of soft red, extravagant and floating, was too much to wear down one's will.

Therefore, those who cultivate immortals must live in isolation.

Mountains of people are "immortals", if they are not in the mountains, how can they have the state of mind suitable for cultivation.

Xia Yongchu also obviously found that his cultivation speed in the county town was much slower than when he made excuses to go out.

However, Xia Mansion is still his base right now, and he won't let it go in a short time, so he can only endure it first.

At night when the curfew was approaching, Xia Yongchu disguised himself and came to a noodle stall in the west of the city.

The owner of the noodle stall looks like a hunchbacked little old man, but Xia Yongchu had talked with him before, and only then did he know that he is only 40 years old and has been operating here for decades—since his father's generation has set up a noodle stall here.

At this time, he was ready to close the stall, but when he saw Xia Yongchu's wrinkled face like a chrysanthemum, he still showed a warm smile, and his mouth with a few missing teeth grinned.

"Boss Dong, is it still a bowl of mutton noodles with a marinated egg?" The noodle stall owner always thought that Xia Yongchu's surname was Dong and he was a cloth merchant.

"Two bowls."

"okay!"

The owner of the noodle stall turned around to cook the noodles. Xia Yongchu took two pairs of chopsticks, and a graceful and moving voice sounded beside him, "Boss Dong, you are usually so penny-pinching. Why are you so generous today? Have you invited the little girl to eat noodles?"

Hearing the melodious voice like an oriole, the stall owner looked back unconsciously, but saw a little woman, Tingting, coming gracefully, and sat down next to Boss Dong.

Soon the owner of the noodle stall realized that he was wrong. This was not a little woman, because she was wearing a girl's bun in her boudoir.

He couldn't help taking a second look, and saw that this girl was more beautiful, although not as good as the most beautiful girl on the street, but she was also very charming.

I don't know why, I'm not young, but I haven't married yet?

This girl's appearance is just ordinary and beautiful, but her figure is extremely graceful, and her every move seems to be dancing, light and beautiful, so that men's eyeballs can't wait to touch her.

The noodle stall owner couldn't help but envy Boss Dong's good fortune.

Soon he cooked the noodles, picked up a few slices of mutton, thought for a while and added a few more slices, and then brought it over, "You two take it easy."

"Don't underestimate this bowl of noodles. This is definitely the second best noodle in the nearby counties, I can assure you." Xia Yongchu handed a pair of chopsticks to Liu Yuzhen, poured a little vinegar into the noodle bowl, and ate it. stand up.

Liu Yuzhen was a little hesitant, after all, looking at the greasy table and some suspicious black things floating up and down in the pot of old soup, she felt a little disgusted.

She carefully lowered her head and sniffed, the aroma was tangy.

Taking another look at Xia Yongchu who had already consumed half a bowl of noodles, Liu Yuzhen hesitated to pick up some noodles.

Putting it into his mouth, Liu Yuzhen's watery almond eyes lit up immediately.

The noodles are tasty and slightly chewy, unexpectedly delicious.

She was no longer reserved, and buried her head. Although she took small mouthfuls, she ate unswervingly.

Xia Yongchu finished eating first, took out a towel to wipe his mouth, and looked at Liu Yuzhen.

Although this woman looks mediocre, her movements are extremely elegant.

The speed of eating noodles is fast, but also delicate.

I don't know what kind of past she has?

This kind of upbringing cannot be taught by a small family.

Ordinary farming and studying family heirlooms are not good enough, and ordinary squire families are not enough. At least it must be a big aristocratic family with rich background and historical accumulation to teach such outstanding characters.

After watching for a while, he said to Liu Yuzhen in a thread, "Is there any progress on what you said last time?"

Liu Yuzhen naturally understood that what Xia Yongchu was asking about was the news of Gang Sha Qi.

Liu Yuzhen stopped chopsticks, wiped her mouth gracefully, and nodded slightly, "The little girl went to meet with Zun last time, and she made a lot of insinuations. Zun seems to be in a very good mood and answers every question. However, the few points he mentioned The evil spirit has long been occupied by people. The little girl is writing out and sorting out all the information she has found out in detail, and is going to put it in the old place."

Speaking of this, Liu Yuzhen paused.

Xia Yongchu keenly noticed her hesitation to speak, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Yuzhen hesitated and said, "Your Majesty has made some arrangements recently. I noticed that he abruptly arranged for a large number of experts to go to Wu, and it seems that he will go there himself."

"Wu Guo? Why is it so abrupt?" Xia Yongchu asked the key point.

"The little girl also finds it strange, why is it the country of Wu? Your Majesty didn't have any important arrangements in the country of Wu before, why did you suddenly send a large number of masters there? And not to the big cities, but to the southern border of the country of Wu, near the Next to the 'Luoxia Ze' in Nanhuang, there is a place called 'Yunqi Valley'." Liu Yuzhen blinked, looking very confused.

Xia Yongchu pondered for a while, and suddenly a bold idea popped up, "Yuzhen, I remember you told me 3 years ago that the lord was about to refine the first evil spirit. And he said that it is necessary to condense one, two Sha, is considered to be the completion of Gang Sha Realm. Then I boldly guess, will there be a second evil energy he needs in the 'Yunqi Valley'?"

Liu Yuzhen's beautiful eyes lit up, "Third Master's words... are very possible!"

Xia Yongchu made a decisive decision, "You continue to inquire, pay attention to protecting yourself, and don't expose yourself. I have to start preparations here, no matter whether 'Yunqigu' has evil spirits, as long as he goes, let 'Yunqigu' become his The burial ground of the dead!"

Liu Yuzhen looked extremely excited. Although she looked ordinary, she smiled like a spring breeze, "Little girl must try her best to find out!"

Xia Yongchu asked again: "How is your recent practice?"

Liu Yuzhen sighed softly, "I have no clue at all."

"If you have any doubts, please discuss with me."

"Heaven, earth, wealth, and law companions are necessary for practice. Every practitioner wants to be diligent, and they cannot do without these. Of course, not everyone has heaven, earth, wealth, so Dharma and companions are particularly important. Dharma is the practice method, the Dharma door, For example, I taught you the nameless exercise. A couple is a Taoist couple. During the practice, you need Taoist couples to support each other and discuss with each other. This Taoist couple does not refer to lovers, but..."
