Chapter 31 The Prince’s Current Situation
Yu Hua left quietly, and every time he left, Gu Wen's horizons broadened. He knew the three people who came to protect the law and the Tao, and the three lists of heaven, earth and people.
Tens of thousands of monks will be one of the first, and three hundred people will enter the immortal land and enter the third list.
Those with strong destiny are invincible, those with extraordinary abilities are gifted with extraordinary talents, and those with outstanding talents are also the best among the best.
It’s really wonderful!
Gu Wen suppressed the restlessness in his heart. He naturally wanted to make a name for himself with his own abilities, but he knew very well that fame would have no effect.
Cultivation is not about fighting against others. Power, reputation, status, etc. can all be brought about by practice, but they cannot be the purpose of practice.
In the Yuqing Heart Method, the vitality, blood and spiritual thoughts that became vigorous due to Yu Hua's words were gradually calmed down and turned into a warm current to push the true energy to circulate quickly, tempering the magic power bit by bit.
There is only a wisp of blue zhenqi that is a little thicker, and due to the practice during this period, it is about the size of an index finger.
It can last for about half an hour to release Gang Qi and fire more than a dozen sword Qi.
There was nothing to say all night, and I practiced until dawn.
Gu Wen opened his eyes and saw that his magic power had only increased by a pinch, and he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his balls: "No wonder Zhao Feng takes drugs every day. He often spends tens of thousands of taels to buy medicines, and he has worked hard to achieve the years of the monkey and the horse and the moon."
He asked Yu Hua about the difficulty of practicing, and the other party replied that Daqian spiritual energy was the best in the world, but it was absorbed by various immortal fates. His ability to practice was already due to Daoji.
To put it bluntly, you have to spend money on drugs.
【Depletion of Heavenly Marrow】
Gu Wen sighed, Qianfeng Tower's Dragon Tiger Pill would take some time, and Yao Guo inquired about it. Due to the war, even the internal inventory of Taifu Temple was at its lowest.
Even if there were any, they would all be sent to the palace for the Dog Emperor to make elixirs.
Gu Wen closed his eyes and nurtured his sword intention with the Blue Eyes Water Wave Bead, a spiritual treasure. This treasure can speed up the movement of magic power, so it is a blessing for all exercises that require the movement of magic power.
Since the foundation of the Heart Technique and Dao is difficult to practice, he prefers to use the Heavenly Essence for the two techniques he just learned.
Because most of these techniques are based on comprehension, you can use them once you are proficient enough. However, the Yuqing Sword Technique requires a little bit of practice. What you understand is only the sword moves, not the sword intention itself.
Just like Daoji, its level can be improved, but its mana stock remains unchanged.
Sword Intention is currently the only way to prevent attacks from divine souls.
In the following days, Gu Wen once again devoted himself to practice. Except for going to Longquan to drink the imperial juice at sunset, he practiced at all other times.
The sword intention is already the size of an index finger. Although it cannot kill people from afar, it can still prevent attacks from spirits.
Luoyue steps into the door and makes no sound, which is suitable for killing people.
The most important part of the Ling Jade Body Protection Technique has been refined to its peak, but the second part, the muscles and bones are like iron and need to be cultivated.
------------------
In mid-May, a young eunuch whom he had never seen before came to the door, saying that he was working for the Ninth Prince and wanted money from him.
Gu Wen asked doubtfully: "Where is Eunuch Feng?"
"Back to Marquis Wen, Feng Daban is dead."
The young eunuch who had just arrived was obviously much more respectful than the old eunuch.
"How did you die?"
"I don't know."
Gu Wen felt that something was strange, but he didn't care much. An old eunuch died just like that.
Then I couldn't help but lament that the world will never change without someone. When you die, there will always be someone to take your place. Even Eunuch Feng, who has been with Zhao Feng since he was a child, is the same. Even if Zhao Feng dies, there will be the next prince.
replace him.
Therefore, the most advanced method is physical destruction.
The young eunuch said: "Marquis Wen, I am here with a mission. Your Highness needs you to send 50,000 taels to the palace."
What do you need so much money for?
Gu Wen first agreed, and then sent people out to investigate. Under the two-level intelligence network of Longqiao merchant circle and Shuifang Shuifu, some clues were soon made.
One of the palaces seems to have been attacked a few days ago, and some people said that fireworks were set off to blow up the house.
Secondly, a large amount of silver has been taken away from the bank affiliated to the palace recently, and the bank manager has frequently been in and out of Qianfeng Tower, where Dragon and Tiger Pills are sold.
Third, a piece of gossip: I heard that Hu Sanyuan’s wife stole from a man, and caused a big fuss in the Yamen due to the power of her natal family.
------------------
At the end of the month, Gu Wen took the bill from the water house and went to the palace to see Zhao Feng. As soon as he entered the palace, he was stopped by a familiar voice.
"Oh, isn't this Marquis Wen?"
The visitor has a sturdy back and a scar on his right cheek. He is wearing a large purple silk dress and wears a wrench on his right hand, which is used to tighten the string and draw the bow. Few people wear it all the time.
Hu Sanyuan, the black glove of the palace, runs a bank and a pawn shop. Although he is a pawnbroker, what he does is forced buying and selling, and he cooperates with gambling houses to lend usury.
Lending was a common method used by wealthy families in ancient times to annex land, and Zhao Feng, the prince, was no exception.
"Boss Hu has something to come to the palace today?"
Gu Wen nodded coldly in response.
Although they both worked under the palace, he had a slightly different impression of Hu Sanyuan. Gu Wen didn't have the ability or qualifications to help others, but that didn't mean he wanted to associate with such a man who eats human blood.
Hu Sanyuan also didn't like Gu Wen very much. As the second oldest in ten thousand years, he was always hostile to the first.
"I have been helping His Highness Ninth Prince to find some tonics recently, and I have gained some insights recently."
Hu Sanyuan's words made Gu Wen's eyes move slightly, and he asked again: "Gu is here to give away silver coins today. I wonder if it has something to do with it?"
But since he learned about spiritual practice and learned that money can buy all kinds of elixirs, Gu Wen became very sensitive to the cash flow of the palace.
Hu Sanyuan suddenly laughed again and asked as if to show off: "Don't you know, Marquis Wen?"
"I don't know."
"Then it would be inconvenient for me to tell Marquis Wen."
"If it's inconvenient, then there's no need."
Gu Wen waved his sleeves, turned around and continued to move forward, thinking deep down in his heart that he would ask someone to investigate who the other party had seen recently.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and Bianjing is full of holes. For example, in Longqiao, every time a big shot comes into the store, the waiter will shout out his name, which is very impressive.
There were thousands of people working in Wenshui House all over Bianjing, and they had always paid attention to Hu Sanyuan.
The two of them walked to the palace's study without saying anything to each other. The courtyard was quiet and lined with rockeries, and the study window just framed the green pine trees in the garden.
They were stunned when they saw Zhao Feng. They saw that the handsome prince in the past was pale, wrapped in a fur coat on a hot day, looking very sick, and coughing from time to time.
How many days have you been acting like this?
Zhao Feng was writing and ignored the two people who came in. They could only wait, which was normal. They had to wait every time they saw Zhao Feng, as if Zhao Feng had some leisure time to be busy with.
After practicing self-cultivation, Gu Wen's five senses were enhanced and he noticed that Zhao Feng's writing was not steady and his movements were not as focused as his expression.
It's not like he likes calligraphy.
'Is the whole time you have been waiting for me just an opportunity to hit us?'
He twitched the corner of his mouth. Although he thought it was outrageous, it was very reasonable for a beast born in an imperial family.
