Brutal touch

Chapter 17: Planting golden lotuses makes the entanglement stronger, breaking the magic method and performing extraordinary feats within five years

"It's just an expected thing. When I was bouldering, I tried to teach Buji's skills to me, but they all failed." The Fourth Young Master comforted himself in this way, but he just didn't want to admit that his sadness was not due to the meditation skills. , but because of failure in front of Nanqin.

The Fourth Young Master forced a smile to Nan Qin and said comfortingly, "I just analyzed the Guanzen Kung Fu in detail. Its technique is not important. I have already mastered the method, so it is a worthwhile trip." Nan Qin knew that at this moment He couldn't talk to the Fourth Young Master much, he just nodded aside.

Retainers had already reported on the major and minor affairs in Chiniu City during the grand meeting, which naturally included the arrival of Fourth Young Master and Nan Qin to Chiniu City. The Lord of Red Bull City thought for a while and ordered to see the Fourth Young Master and his party. At about noon, a banquet was held in the Great Joy Hall in the Great Beihuan Temple, firstly to show the friendship of the landlord, and secondly to apologize for not being able to entertain the Lord of Red Bull City in person during the big meeting.

The Fourth Young Master and his party were more than a quarter of an hour ahead of schedule, but found that the Lord of Red Bull City was already waiting here. The Lord of Red Bull City smiled and said: "Mercy, Mercy, Miss Nanqin, we have met several times, and Fourth Young Master has heard about it. , but today is the first time I’ve seen him. I heard that in the Great Beihuan Temple, the Fourth Young Master was able to penetrate the Zen practice. I didn’t quite believe it at first. But after meeting the Fourth Young Master today, I realized that the thorough penetration of the Zen practice is nothing. Difficult matter."

The Fourth Young Master smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have made a mistake. Although I have memorized the techniques of Guanzen Zen, I still got nothing after trying them." The Lord of Red Bull City smiled and said: "Mercy, mercy. Why should you be humble, Sir? Watching Zen is about the Dharma, not the technique. Just now I saw that the young master’s body was filled with the aura of pearls and jade, and I knew that the young master had already obtained the Dharma. In order to compete for power and ruthlessness, today’s people practice the practice of Watching Zen and love the technique more than the Dharma. This is like buying a coffin for a pearl. ”

Nan Qin originally thought that what the Fourth Young Master said was just to comfort him, but he did not expect that the Kuan Chan Kung Fu really had such a saying. He took advantage of the situation and asked, "The Fourth Young Master now has no signs of inner demons. Lord of Red Bull City, is it possible to practice the Kuan Chan Kung Fu?" Just by obtaining the Fa, can I not be tortured by inner demons?"

The Lord of Red Bull City smiled and said: "Compassion, compassion, all the infinite techniques in the world can't escape the torture of happy demons, only the meditation technique is an exception." Nan Qin was shocked: "How is it possible that people are born with both good and evil bodies? When a person's strength increases, good thoughts and evil thoughts will increase at the same time, and this is the way of heaven." The Lord of Red Bull City smiled and said: "Compassion, compassion, it sounds rebellious, but has Miss Nanqin ever thought that good and evil can be divided into two categories? body, but the two bodies are originally one body. Good and evil people pursue what they want. The only difference is that the body of evil does not have great wisdom, so it blinds its eyesight and becomes a slave of desire, becoming what we call the inner demon. .The way to get rid of it is also very simple, just share your wisdom with your inner demon."

The Fourth Young Master was shocked and said: "Such an argument is shocking to the world, but can it really be done?" The Lord of Red Bull City smiled and said: "Mercy, Mercy, with the Fourth Young Master's intelligence, it is not difficult to master this way."

The Lord of Red Bull City waved his hand, and Cangmen knew that he had asked his servants to hold a banquet, so he went to make arrangements. This banquet was richer than the previous ones. In addition, the Lord of Red Bull City conferred the skills in front of him, and the banquet was even more enjoyable for the guests and the host. The Fourth Young Master suddenly noticed that what the Lord of Red Bull City had in front of him was only a few vegetarian dishes, and the dishes were not exquisitely prepared. However, the Lord of Red Bull City only ate these few dishes.

The Fourth Young Master therefore asked: "The Lord of Red Bull City is a great scholar, is he only going to eat this?" The Lord of Red Bull City smiled and said: "Mercy, Mercy, the Great Beihuan Temple has rules, and there are special accounts for the expenses of each guest. I am responsible for the accounts at the Great Beihuan Temple." The Fourth Young Master seemed even more puzzled and asked: "There is an explicit order to touch the country. Shizhe himself and his three generations of relatives will receive one hundred immeasurable gold every year. How can he be so stingy? Speaking of Chiniu City The city lord only eats vegetarian food, so he can ask the chef to cook it more delicately." The city lord of Red Bull City smiled and said: "Mercy, mercy, if the Fourth Young Master is still curious after the banquet, I can answer the questions for the Fourth Young Master."

Because Nan Qin's grandfather was the Prime Minister, he was also entitled to one hundred immeasurable gold every year after the age of three. Nan Qin knew how well he could live with one hundred immeasurable gold in the country. Moreover, the city lord of a city has the right to draw a commission from everything in the city. This income is also considerable. Nan Qin had earlier calculated that the city lord of Red Bull City would Young Master said that he should have five hundred immeasurable gold, but the Fourth Young Master did not understand this level, so Nan Qin was more curious than the Fourth Young Master. As soon as the Fourth Young Master's question was raised, the pace of the normal banquet sped up significantly.

The Lord of Red Bull City smiled and said: "Since the Fourth Young Master and Miss Nanqin are so interested, then come with me." Before the banquet was over, the Lord of Red Bull City led the Fourth Young Master and Nan Qin out of the Palace of Joy, and in the Great Sadness and Joy Walking to the northwest corner of the temple, in the courtyard outside the northwest gate of the Dabeihuan Temple, a group of white people gathered to drink porridge. The Fourth Young Master could see more clearly that there were about hundreds of people. The densely packed people in the distance should all be white people. All told, there were about several thousand people. The Lord of Red Bull City said: "Mercy, mercy. Your Majesty is very kind and knows that the white people may not be able to have enough food and clothing due to the rewards given to the nobles, because the rations needed by the white people are all allocated by the royal capital, eight taels per person per day. However, some The nobles could not support themselves, and it was difficult for them to make ends meet. In order to satisfy their hunger, they often deprived the white people of their rations, so the white people often starved to death. I couldn't bear it, so I used some money from my official salary to provide these white people with some porridge. There are often three to five thousand white people gathering here in the Great Beihuan Temple."

After the banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Nan Buwen left the two of them to rest in a side room, but he did not instruct anyone else in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He only took a child to Pingjin Ferry. Pingjin Ferry was not far from the royal capital, because the city lord along the river Tributes and travel to and from the royal capital were mostly carried out by water. And because it is so close to the royal capital, a ferry has become a small town because of the glory of the royal capital. It is just because people are used to calling it Pingjin Ferry that it is still called Pingjin Ferry. Nan Buwen came to Pingjin Ferry and walked for a while. I remember it was a bamboo forest about seven or eight miles outside the city. Nearing the bamboo forest, a bamboo house appeared in front of Nan Buwen. Nan Buwen approached the bamboo house and opened the door and found that there was no one in the bamboo house. Nan Buwen stood in the house for a while, and an old man came back carrying rice. Although he was old, He is similar to Nan Buwen, but his martial arts skills have reached the state of transformation, and his face does not look aged very much. Nan Buwen was shocked when he saw Nan Buwen, but he put the rice by the stove first. Nan Buwen said, "What? Li Weng, why did Shi Zhe live in such a shabby place? Isn't the sacrifice given to you by Chuguo not enough?" ?" Li Weng said with a smile: "Shi Zhe, it was a long time ago. Today, you are so murderous. Do you want to come here to take action?" Nan Buwen said with a cold face: "Let me ask you a few questions. After I have asked you, Say it again."

"The first question is, why did the Fourth Young Master go to the academy of arts instead of being educated at home?"

"You should ask King Chu about the royal family." Li Weng said.

"But I'm asking you now." Nan Buwen said seriously, as if he didn't want to ask a second time.

"You also know that all the famous families in the country are well-educated and disdain to enter the School of Arts. Therefore, the people in the academy suffer from this and have always wanted the children of the famous families to enter the School of Arts. However, there has been no progress in several years."

"So you secretly helped the Fourth Young Master enter the Magic Academy?"

"Yes."

"So he just idles around in the Academy of Arts, specializing in doing whatever he wants."

"Fourth Young Master has actually helped a lot of people in the Academy of Arts."

"The School of Magic is originally a gathering place for corrupt scholars. No wonder the Fourth Young Master has been making trouble to find out the cause of the Third Young Master's death. Do you know all this?"         "Yes."

"Then why do it?"

"The whole country is like this. What are you doing as Prime Minister? I asked the Fourth Young Master to do this to remind everyone in the country that they should know some truths. The will of the Third Young Master is like a fire, but it is a pity that this fire was extinguished for no reason. What I have to do is to rekindle this fire in the hearts of Chinese people."

"If you touch the country, you won't hesitate to bleed it into a river. How many people will bleed if you touch the country? If you touch the country, you can't use it for good, and you can't remove evil. Sooner or later, the blood will dry out."

"It's just that those young and fresh-blooded people are ignorant, so why are you making such nonsense? Good can't be used and evil can't be eliminated? Can some good be used, and some evil can be left alone?"

"As I get older, the fewer days I have to live, the more I feel that the worries I had in the past no longer matter, and I can no longer tolerate the sand in my eyes. It would be the best if we can put an end to those dirty things in our generation."

"How much have you told Fourth Young Master about Shizhe's business?"

"I said I have never said this before, do you believe it?"

"Because you're in on it too?"

"Do whatever you want."

"So have we broken down today? If possible, I really don't want to fight with my comrades back then."

Nan Buwen sat down and secretly tested his internal strength. One move of the gold technique covers oneself, and one move of the soil technique covers the whole room. Nan Buwen sat upright and said: "Li Weng, you and I have been friends through life and death together, but what you did today is indeed too much. Let's do this. If you break my dirty earth technique, I will let you go. How about it?" Li Weng took a few steps to distance himself from Nan Buwen, cast a spell to summon his own hammer as big as an anchor, grabbed it and threw it at Nan Buwen. First, he raised his hand and smashed it from top to bottom, and then hit it twice to the left and right, but was deflected by Nan Buwen's gold-enhancing technique. Nan Buwen just sat and said with a smile: "In the past, when the barbarians were conquering the south, the barbarians used elephant soldiers to fight against them. With black and white, you and Tongfu used the battle formation as a chessboard to play chess, so that the savages did not dare to cause trouble for several years, which became a legend. Unexpectedly, at such an age, the strength is still the same as before. It's just that the speed is slower, if I practiced hard kung fu back then, and I’m afraid that at this age, my kung fu has already been exhausted and I have suffered a lot of injuries.”

When Li Weng saw Nan Buwen, his face remained as usual, and he sat still. He didn't know whether he was afraid or angry. He swung the hammer like flying, and hit him countless times in a row. After all, Li Weng was already old, and he would not be as strong as he was when he was young. In contrast, after I don’t know how many times I hit the hammer, I was so exhausted that I couldn’t hold the hammer. The hammer fell out of my hand and the person fell to the ground. Nan Buwen said: "At such an age, the hammer can still be used for this purpose, that's all.

Now the person who succeeds Tong Fu is his son Tong Ma. He is in his prime, but the weapon he uses is much lighter than yours. It’s not that he will definitely not be able to defeat you, but the weapons you are competing with are lighter, and your dignity and aura have dropped a bit. Hey, people tend to be confused when they get older. This is the rule in your sect. "Li Weng was furious. He didn't know where he got the strength from, he raised the hammer and swung it again. Nan Buwen saw that he was turning the hammer so that the wind couldn't get in. Suddenly he let go and the hammer flew towards Nan Buwen. This Although the hammer flew over, it still failed to break Nan Buwen's gold-enhancing technique, but it used the power of the gold-enhancing technique to bounce out. Li Weng dodged and grabbed the handle of the hammer, and used his two powers to dodge to the outside. Next to the barrier on the first floor of the technique, he forcibly smashed open the earth viscera technique. Nanbu was startled, and he used the technique, and hit Li Weng with a solemn finger technique from a distance of more than ten feet. Li Weng endured the severe pain and used his spirit Performing the technique, he disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Nan Buwen turned around and said, "Li Weng is seriously injured. Don't you want to use this to get rid of Li Weng and become famous in one fell swoop?" A little child staggered out of the bushes and said, "Grandpa, don't be ridiculous, how dare I fight against Shi Zhe. Nan Buwen laughed and said: "That's right. When you encounter an opponent like Shizhe, you won't fight if you can. Don't think that they are seriously injured or go up to show off their strength. The difference in strength is too big and they can still easily deal with you." ." That boy was Nan Yichang's youngest son, Nan Xun. The child patted the fallen leaves on his body and continued: "Are you going to let Li Weng run away like this?" Nan Buwen sighed and said, "It is most taboo for people to lose their strength when they are old and have weak energy and blood. Li Weng's skill is exactly It pays attention to using force to defeat all laws. You may be brave for a while in your prime, but you will be useless when you are old. I have been beating with a hammer for so long, and I have been hit by the solemn finger. It has touched the whole country. No one can cure him, but the newly promoted Ten Philosophers and Sixth Surname are very capable and may have a way, but they will never help him. After all, we have a friendship, so give him a few days to deal with his funeral affairs."

Nan Xun asked: "I just listened from a distance, and it seemed that what he said made some sense. Why must he kill people?" Nan Buwen said: "If Shizhe just said a few words that were harmful to the audience after he left office, To deceive a group of ignorant people is nothing more than chaos and annoyance. It's just that he shouldn't." "What shouldn't he do?" Nan Xun asked hurriedly. "You shouldn't have gotten your sister involved. Grandpa saved so many people and killed so many people just so that you can live a good life without killing people in the future. After worrying about the country for a lifetime, you can't lose hope. "Nan Xun nodded as if he understood. Nan Buwen continued: "You saw clearly the fight just now, right? It's rare for Shi Zhe to fight to the death. It also broadens your horizons." Nan Xun said disdainfully: "What's there? It's obviously Grandpa, just leave it alone Hit him."

Nan Buwen smiled and said: "Of course I have to be more fair to show you. If he were thirty or forty years younger, this battle would have become a good story. But in the end, he pretended to attack me, but he retreated with the earth-breaking technique in an instant. It's a bit unexpected. You have to know that Shi Zhe is always awake in life and death. You have to know that in the battle of life and death, strength does not necessarily lead to superiority. The loser is often the one who acts ambiguously." Nanxun didn't like hearing this very much and said: " I don't plan to be an official, so why do I know all this?" Nan Buwen said: "Everyone has scruples about being an official, and they often don't do things right. No one knows the seriousness of the things you do, and you will be killed at every turn. . If you are really vague, you may not end up with anything. If you can remember this today, it will not be in vain." As he spoke, Nan Buwen's expression suddenly changed, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood on the ground. Nan Xun shouted: "I knew I couldn't be brave! Both the Gold Technique and the Earth Organ Technique are connected to the internal organs. After so many blows, the Earth Organ Technique was still broken!" He said and hurriedly helped him.

Nan Buwen waved his hand and said: "Firstly, I want to gain some experience for you. Secondly, I couldn't bear to do it. The last finger was made out of desperation when I saw that he was about to run away. If I do it again, I won't be able to hit the target." They are all problems." Nan Xun summoned two pigeons by some unknown means. Nan Xun tied two notes, one red and one black, on the pigeons' legs, and then told the pigeons to fly back. Not long after, several wealthy businessmen from Pingjindu arrived with dozens of carriages. Nan Xun didn't say much and let them take Nan Buwen and himself back to the royal capital. Several wealthy businessmen and people from the industry worshiped it carefully and sent it to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Nan Yichang came to pick it up in person before settling the matter.

Nan Yichang felt Nan Buwen's pulse while helping Nan Buwen. He knew that Nan Buwen was injured. Just as he was about to speak, Nan Buwen said, "Go into the study and talk." Nan Yichang and Nan Xun followed Nan Buwen. Entering the study, Nan Buwen said first, "It's okay to be injured. I'll just ask the six surnames to come and have a look tomorrow. Nan Xun, go do something, you know." Nan Xun agreed, opened the door and went out. When Nan Yi saw Nan Buwen and turned his back, he understood the meaning and retreated himself. After leaving the study, Nan Yichang grabbed Nan Xun and said, "Boy, let me ask you something. How did you get injured?" Nan Xun smiled and said, "It's easy to handle. I'll tell you for fifty immeasurable gold." Nan Yi Chang scolded: "The unfilial thing will be blamed on me when doing business." Nan Xun smiled and said: "This is what Baigelou relies on for food, otherwise all my little brothers will have to drink the northwest wind? Besides, Baigelou The building can be regarded as the business of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there is nothing to worry about when leaving with the left hand and entering with the right." After saying this, he disappeared in front of Nan Yichang like a gust of wind.

Nan Xun left the Prime Minister's Mansion and just arrived at the gate of the King's Capital when he bumped into someone. Nan Xun was just about to prepare his argument when he saw the man smiling and saying, "Brother Nan Xun, it's such a coincidence that we meet here."
