Taishang Immortal Brigade

Chapter 4 The Congenital Thief
The gathering in Cuiyun Building was a gathering of the criminal officials who participated in the search of the general's house. Even if Xia He didn't win anything, but with the support of Liu Daquan behind him, he still got 50 taels of silver, which is equivalent to two years' salary. As for officials, those who come to get money quickly still rely on fishing.However, fat jobs such as house raids are not often done. It has only happened once in the past few years, but it has happened several times this year.In the final analysis, the current political situation is chaotic. In recent years, the reformist faction headed by Prime Minister Su and the conservative faction headed by Grand Master Nie have fought fiercely. The hands that also count become weak.

Xiahe was not involved in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, so he didn't have much money to spend. He worked in the Ministry of Punishment for more than a year, and he received a lot of filial piety and share. In addition to the 50 taels this time, he also had a little over 100 taels of silver.

Returning home drunk, Xia He put the silver in his treasure box, then took out the mica stone, added half a teaspoon of oil to the oil lamp, cut off the burnt wick, fiddled with it a few times, and the room instantly lit up There are many, carefully look at the mica stone under the light.

Although this mica stone does not look good, the spiritual energy contained in it is astonishing. Xiahe absorbed a lot of spiritual energy on the road, and when he returned home, the spiritual energy in the mica stone seemed to be the same.

The mica stone is in the shape of a column, with a hexagonal prism on the bottom. It is not light or heavy in the hand, and it looks very heavy. Xia He was shocked when he compared the appearance of the Lingshi in his memory, and a word popped into his mind, " The ultimate spirit stone."

The top-grade spirit stones are quite rare. Compared with the irregular shapes of ordinary low-grade spirit stones, middle-grade spirit stones and high-grade spirit stones, the top-grade spirit stones have obvious characteristics, which are in the shape of hexagonal prisms. More importantly, the top-grade spirit stones When the aura is used up, it can be replenished automatically. I don't want to use up the rest of the aura and become a waste stone.

Xia He, who was ecstatic, did not lose his mind, thinking that although he looked right, he still hadn't identified the characteristics of the automatic replenishment of spiritual energy, so he sat cross-legged and meditated, holding the mica fast in his hands tightly, and operating according to the mental method in the Taishang Mie Dao Sutra stand up.

With the replenishment of spiritual energy, the speed of cultivation immediately increased by leaps and bounds. Xia He obviously felt that a large amount of spiritual energy was extracted from the mica stone, operated according to the mental method, and then supplemented into his body.

At dawn, Xia He felt light in his body. The second floor of the Qi refining period had arrived, and his whole body was covered with black dirt. This is a common sign of breakthroughs in the Qi refining period.

Looking at the mica stone in his hand, half of the spiritual energy in it has disappeared. Xia He put the mica stone in his arms, locked the door, and went to work.

There was no official business to do all day, Xia He followed Liu Daquan to practice the Wuhu Severing Door Knife. Liu Daquan kept sighing that Xia He is really a genius in martial arts. Today, he has made progress in practicing swordsmanship. Xia He knows that his cultivation has improved. It is inconvenient to disclose the reason, so I have to admit it.

Back home at night, Xia He took out the mica stone to check, and the aura inside had returned to the original amount. Now it is certain that the unattractive piece of aura in front of him must be a top-quality spirit stone. Xia He was overjoyed. Replenishment of aura, God gave him the best spirit stone, it was really God's blessing, thinking that this best spirit stone was obtained by his poor beggar, secretly decided in his heart, it is better to do more good deeds in the future.

During the Qi refining period, the throughput of spiritual energy is not large, and a top-grade spirit stone can already handle it. At least now Xiahe has no worries about his daily practice. He has exercises and spirit stones, and his cultivation goes smoothly.

In this way, Xia He went to work in the yamen during the day, practiced the Wuhu Duanmen Saber when he had no official duties, meditated at night to practice the Taishang Mie Dao Sutra, recovered the spiritual energy with the best spiritual stones during the day, and absorbed the spiritual stones to practice at night, without any delay.

Time flies, and it has been three months. Xia He successfully broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and reached the cultivation level of a martial artist in the early stage of innate. The Dao Jing has been transformed, and its power has reached the level of first-class martial arts.

On this day, Xia He finished his practice and felt refreshed. He hung the top-grade spirit stone around his neck with a rope made of black gold silk as usual, then put on his clothes and covered the top-grade spirit stone layer by layer.

In order to preserve the top-grade spirit stones, Xia He has spent a lot of brainpower. It is not safe to put them at home. He is afraid of losing them, so he can only hang them around his neck like a little girl. He took 50 taels of silver and bought two taels of black gold silk. Wu Jinsi is extremely tenacious, and even a congenital master can cut continuously with a sword in his hand, and he will not be afraid of falling if he circles around the top-quality spirit stone a few times.

The atmosphere in the yamen was solemn, and from time to time, officials with solemn faces rushed past. Xia He found Liu Daquan, saw Liu Daquan calling the members of the team to line up, and asked, "What happened, do you want to go out on business?"

Liu Daquan nodded solemnly, "Huo Feitian, the congenital bandit who roamed around Longxi Road, came to the capital, ransacked the mansion of a fifth-rank official last night, killed the official couple, and ruined the lady of that family. The emperor was furious when he learned about it, and he arrested Huo Feitian within a time limit."

Xia He nodded, "Such vicious desperadoes have not appeared in the capital for many years. We sent this time by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I don't know which chief arrester it is."

To deal with Huo Feitian, the bandit who is a congenital warrior, only the chief arrester who is also in the congenital realm can do it. Unexpectedly, Liu Daquan shook his head, "We do not have congenital masters in our punishment department. To capture Huo Feitian, our Ministry of Criminal Justice is just here to help."

When Xia He heard it, it was another battle between the two factions. The Ministry of Punishment was the domain of Prime Minister Su of the reformist faction, and was responsible for the collection of robbers. credit.

Liu Daquan instructed Xia He, "This time Huo Feitian is not a good stubbler. Brothers in our team should take it easy. Don't lose your life first without getting credit. You have to be careful, even though your five tigers are broken. The saber is well practiced, but it's not enough to stand in front of Huo Feitian's 'Tianlong swordsmanship'."

After Xia He returned to the team, Liu Daquan said to his colleagues, "Brothers, the arrest of the robber Huo Feitian this time was ordered by the emperor himself. We are members of the official family of the Ministry of Punishment. We must do our best. Don't neglect your duties, if you are lucky enough to catch this thief, then you will rely on the mighty virtue of the emperor and the good guidance of all the superiors, even if you don't catch, the adults will be considerate."

Everyone below has been around for a long time, and after hearing what Liu Daquan said, they expressed their determination loudly and shouted, "I must serve the emperor and share the worries of the superiors, Mr. Tianzi Eagle Dog."

While talking, Su Yaozong came over with two guards, saw Liu Daquan and his team, and said dissatisfiedly, "You gangsters, why are you hiding here and doing laziness, why don't you follow me to catch that Huo Feitian."

Xia He has been cultivating for a long time, and he has good eyesight. He can see that Su Yaozong is still the same idiot as before. It seems that the Yanghuo Jing did not benefit him at all, but the strength of the two warriors behind him is not low. According to the Daquan, it seems that Su Yaozong's status in the eyes of Prime Minister Su is not low, and he even assigned two masters who were at the peak of the day after tomorrow.

Liu Daquan led a group of subordinates who were obsequious and sycophant, Su Yaozong's brother had a bad temper, was fooled by these old fritters, and walked away triumphantly.

Xia He whispered to Liu Daquan, "Master Su's two bodyguards are not inferior in martial arts, and they are both hard-handed. We should not be led by Master Su for this operation of the Ministry of Punishment, right?"

Liu Daquan nodded, "Of course, Prime Minister Su sent two of his personal bodyguards here, both of whom are at the peak of the day after tomorrow, just to let Su Yaozong get involved. It seems that Prime Minister Su is not giving up this time. I also want to compete with Grand Master Nie's people."

Xia He said nonchalantly, "Prime Minister Su is too stingy. If he wants to claim credit, he should at least send a congenital expert. Will a few acquired peak warriors be of use? Grand Master Nie's military department invited innate masters from the Divine Guard Army "

Liu Daquan said nonchalantly, "Prime Minister Su has always been ruthless and old-fashioned. If you want to think about it secretly, it's not something we little people can guess. Nie Tianzong, the general in command of the Divine Guard Army, is only innately cultivated in the early stage. , against a veteran like Huo Feitian alone, the chances of winning are not great."

Xia He asked, "Brother Liu, you are an old man, you should have heard of Huo Feitian, can you tell me about it, so that if you encounter it in the future, you should have a way to deal with it."

Liu Daquan grinned, "It's fine to talk about it, but you still don't want to catch Huo Feitian. Such a great contribution is not something we can get. When I meet Huo Feitian, I will die if I go up like this."

Before Liu Daquan joined the Ministry of Criminal Justice as the captain, he was a martial artist in the Jianghu, an escort agency, a nursing home, and even a caravan caravan. , I found a relationship in the capital and worked in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If there is no accident, the captain's position will be until retirement.

Liu Daquan has also been in the rivers and lakes of Longxi Road, and he has heard of Huo Feitian's deeds. This Huo Feitian has no family or sect, and he has cultivated amazing martial arts. Once he comes out of the rivers and lakes, he is in the realm of a congenital warrior. He has killed countless people, burned, killed and looted Do all kinds of evil and have no morals.The martial arts seniors of Longxi Dao organized several operations to round up Huo Feitian, but they all failed. Five innate masters died, and countless acquired warriors were killed or injured. , only Lvlindao dared not fight against him, and he was able to linger on.This Huo Feitian is famous in Longxi Dao, some people are not afraid of Emperor Dawei, but there is no one who is not afraid of Huo Feitian.Huo Feitian broke into the capital this time, without accident, it was another bloodbath, but not how many people would suffer.

In the end, Liu Daquan said, "People in the rivers and lakes are the most difficult. If you think we are a member of the Gongmen or a master in the army, we may not be able to win the same level."

Xia He thought that he also had the strength of a natural master, so he might not be able to take Huo Feitian down. Hearing this, he asked curiously, "Brother Liu, why is this?"

Liu Daquan explained, "How many years has Huo Feitian been in the Jianghu, he has killed countless families, and the number of people in the Jianghu who have offended is beyond count, but he can live to this day, do you think, can this be done by martial arts?"

Xia He was right when he thought about it, and asked, "Why is that?"

Liu Daquan said, "Everyone in the rivers and lakes, walking in the rivers and lakes, will inevitably encounter unruly opponents, such as poisons, hidden weapons, and traps. If you don't leave them behind, you will capsize in the gutter and be plotted against. So you have to save a hand for yourself."

"Which hand?" Xia He asked

"Unique move." Liu Daquan said, "everyone in the Jianghu has his own unique move, and it is often a deadly and powerful ultimate move, and in order not to be exposed in front of others, once he makes a move, he can't keep his mouth alive, so as not to leak it out. .”

Xia He nodded, "This Huo Feitian's unique move must be very powerful. After killing so many people, he almost killed everyone in the martial arts of Longxi Dao. He is really a bandit that has not been seen in a hundred years."

Liu Daquan nodded, "This kind of gangster can only be killed by the army. Surrounded by shields and heavy armor, and stabbed with bows and arrows and spears, it can kill hundreds of casualties. As for capturing alive, at least ten times more Casualties here."

Xia He thought that he also has the fifth level of Qi refining, which is equivalent to the realm of a warrior in the early stage of innateness. He can fight thousands of troops. It really increases his arrogance when he thinks about it. Can make a difference in it.
