Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 3 Suspected Lingshi
In the early morning, Xia He went to work in the yamen of the Ministry of Justice, and his colleagues came one after another. Seeing that Xia He came so early, he was a little curious. In fact, since Xia He reached the first floor of the Qi refining period, he didn’t need to sleep. The time to meditate for a stick of incense is enough. He has practiced at home for a long time and came to work without sleeping.

Xia He lowered his head and was full of thoughts. Since he entered the Qi refining period, he found that his cultivation speed is very slow. It seems that it is because the spiritual energy is not enough. After all, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is still too thin. Judging from the current progress , I am afraid that it will take three months to enter the second level. There are ten levels in the Qi refining period, and each level is more difficult than the first level. Thinking of this, Xia He is a little desperate for his future.

"In short, we must find materials that contain a lot of spiritual energy. I don't believe it. The conch shell was handed over to me instead of Su Yaozong. This is my destiny. I am destined to become a cultivator." Xia He secretly said to himself Said.

The conch shell was thrown away by Su Yaozong, then picked up by him by accident, and then he accidentally discovered the secret. Xia He believed that this was the arrangement of God, and God gave him the conch shell, which is God's will.God wants him to become a cultivator, so why not give him the materials he needs for cultivation?
Just as he was thinking, Liu Daquan came. Seeing Xia He thinking about it, he walked over and said, "It's early enough, that's fine, come with me."

There was a small martial arts training ground in the backyard of the yamen. Liu Daquan brought Xia He to the training ground, and took out two large knives from the weapon rack. They were machetes with thick backs and pointed tops. With red tassels.

Liu Daquan stood far away from Xiahe, with his hands rounded, and the sword weighing more than ten catties danced like a wind wheel. In a flash, the silver light shone in front of Xiahe's eyes, and the cold air was threatening, and Liu Daquan's figure was covered by the silver and white light of the sword. , the big sword flutters lightly, and the body is as steady as a mountain. This set of saber techniques has the knack of lightness and stability.

After Liu Daquan put away his saber, Xia He clapped his hands in a hurry, "Brother Liu, your saber technique is truly amazing. When you used your saber technique just now, you really couldn't get a needle in, nor water in it. In my opinion, the punishment department The number one master is you, brother."

Liu Daquan said modestly, "Where is it, my brother and I can barely make a living with these two hands. The Wuhu Broken Door Knife is a second-rate martial arts in the Jianghu. In the final analysis, the masters of the Ministry of Justice are still the three chief arresters, all of whom are innate warriors, able to kill the enemy and win the battle among thousands of troops."

Xia He reckoned in his mind that Liu Daquan's five-tiger door-severing knife in front of him was well practiced. At least the fighters in the later stage of the Houtian realm were no more than the third level of Qi refining. It seems that the Houtian warriors are probably equivalent to the first to fourth levels His cultivation base is at least the fifth floor of the innate warrior, and he asked in his heart, "Then Jin Baisheng is the innate warrior."

Liu Daquan said, "Jin Baisheng is able to control the raging fire with a mortal body, at least because of his late innate cultivation."

Comparing again in Xia He's mind, the seventh level of Qi Refining can control the five elements outside the body, which is equivalent to the cultivation base of the late Xiantian. From this point of view, Houtian and Xiantian have four realms of early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak respectively, which correspond to Qi Refining in order From the first to the eighth level, I am currently at the first level of the Qi refining period, which is probably only equivalent to the realm of the early days of the day after tomorrow.

At present, Xia He has practiced the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife under the guidance of Liu Daquan, and there are no powerful offensive spells below the sixth floor during the Qi refining period, so he wants to learn mortal martial arts first to obtain the means of self-protection.

When it was time to leave work in the evening, Xia He was able to perform a complete set of saber techniques by himself, and Liu Daquan couldn't help but be amazed, "You can learn so quickly when you just practiced saber techniques. Scholars are smart, but you seem to have learned a lot before. Acquired early stage skills, I don’t know why?”

Xia He hurriedly said, "It's like this. When I was a child, a wandering Taoist priest came to my hometown. He said that he had a destiny with me and passed on a set of breathing formulas to me. He said that he could live a long and healthy life after practicing them. I didn't know that they were martial arts formulas."

Liu Daquan suddenly realized, "It turns out that this is the case. You are really blessed. My Five Tigers Broken Door Knife is just a second-rate martial art, and I don't even have inner skills. With that set of inner skills formulas, your future achievements will definitely be ahead of me. Now, maybe in the future, you will be the chief arrester of the fourth innate martial artist of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Xia He said modestly, "Where is it? From now on, I still have to rely on Big Brother Liu to take care of me."

Liu Daquan thought of something, and said, "The stolen goods from the Jin family's raid in the General's Mansion have been sold out. Tonight, the brothers have ordered a good table at the Cuiyun Tower. You and I will go together."

Xia He said with a troubled expression, "My little brother didn't make any achievements when he ransacked the house, and he almost offended Su Shilang. I'd better not go to this banquet. Please Brother Liu help me to accuse my brothers."

Liu Daquan said in a strong tone, "What are you talking about? We are all servants in the same yamen. We usually take care of each other. Brothers give favors, and you count as one. If you have something, brothers will never refuse. I'm in charge of the meal tonight, you and I, don't worry, if someone talks gossip tonight, bro, I'll cut him down with a big knife."

Xia He smiled wryly and nodded. He was born as a scholar, and the most difficult thing in the yamen is to associate with these low-level officials. Fortunately, Liu Daquan usually takes care of him, otherwise he doesn’t know what he will be squeezed out. Some people also secretly said something unpleasant, saying that Xia He had an affair with Liu Daquan.

Walking out of the yamen, it was already dark, and the doors and windows of the houses beside the street had been closed, and oil lamps were lit. The dim orange light hit the street through the window paper, finally illuminating the potholes and raised stones on the road. come out.

Xia He and Liu Daquan were chatting all the way, and before they knew it was Cuiyun Tower, they were about to step up and walk in quickly, when they heard a few breathless moans beside them.

Looking back, in the dark sky, the two huddled together at the corner of the street. When they walked in, they saw a little girl hugging a sick old man, who was trembling slightly and groaning loudly and slowly.

Liu Daquan saw that Xiahe had stopped, walked up to him and said, "Don't look, the old man will not survive, and the girl will starve to death in a few days. Don't meddle in your own business. Hurry up, everyone is here. Wait for us."

It wasn't that Xia He was overwhelmed with sympathy, but that he actually felt a trace of aura in this little girl, and said in a low voice, "You raise your head up."

The little girl raised her head timidly, her eyes full of fear.

Xia He was startled when he saw a shiny mica stone hanging around the little girl's neck. Since he entered the first level of Qi refining period, he has become more sensitive to the spiritual energy. He can be sure that the spiritual energy comes from that mica stone. emanating from.

"Could it be spirit stones? It's unbelievable that there are spirit stones among the people." Xia He thought. "Right now, I'd better get it first, and then I'll make a careful appraisal after I get home."

After making up his mind, Xia He said, "Well, your rock is quite beautiful, how much is it, sell it to me."

Before the little girl could speak, Liu Daquan yelled, "Brother, what are you doing? This stone is too ugly to smash wild dogs. Why do you want to buy it? If you want to see it, just take it here. Talk to this beggar for nothing."

Xia He whispered to Liu Daquan, "Brother, please forgive me. The sages have said that it is our duty not to bully the good and the good. If you give them some money to see a doctor, just treat it as a good deed."

Liu Daquan had never read a book, and he didn't know that the sage Youyun mentioned by Xia He belonged to Hu Su, so he said, "Then you can just give it whatever you want. It's just a stone, and it's not a gold mine. How much is it worth?"

Xia He asked again, and the little girl's voice sounded, the voice was very low, probably because she was too hungry, because the two men in front of her were men with swords and official boots, and their voice was full of fear, "Three pennies".

Seeing the beggars who didn't know whether they were father, daughter or grandson, Xia He felt great compassion, took out his five qian and said, "Go and see the doctor for your relatives, and buy some food."

The little girl was stunned when she caught the silver, and immediately reacted, took the mica stone off her neck, handed it to Xia He, and kept saying, "Thank you, sir, thank you for your kindness."

Xia He took the mica stone and left. Liu Daquan said to him in surprise, "The salary for half a month will be gone. You are so generous. You can just give a dozen copper coins."

Thinking of the little girl's pitiful appearance, Xia He sighed and said, "Don't you have to divide the money at night? The money is nothing, just use it to do good deeds."

Liu Daquan was also quite touched, "It's because you scholars are soft-hearted. I lost my conscience when I was in the rivers and lakes. In this world, there is no starvation on any road, no dead people in any corner. No matter how good your heart is, you can't save the world. .”

Xia He was still holding the mica stone in his hand, and secretly absorbed the traces of aura into his dantian, sighing, "Yes, even those who are kind and holy can do nothing more than save the people in front of them. It’s just a human being, you can’t fight against the sky, God wants you to die, you can’t save him no matter what.”

While talking, the two had already arrived at the Cuiyun Building, and a few staff were welcoming guests at the door. When they saw the guests coming, they invited them in with smiling faces.
