Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 582 Chu Pingsheng: I have refined the golden elixir?

Chu Pingsheng stretched out his finger and scratched her delicate little nose, "Why are you the same as the roundworm in my stomach?"

She tilted her head slightly, revealing her beautiful swan neck, her little face full of pride.

Chu Pingsheng looked at her smug look, and suddenly he became angry and pushed her to the ground like a hungry tiger: "It's time for me to be the worm in your stomach."

"Let me go, this is outside..."

She pushed hard, but it didn't move at all.

……

Two days later, in Ziwei City, Guanwen Hall.

Chu Pingsheng got off the bed and looked at Xiao Meiniang, whose clothes were disheveled, hair was tangled, and skin was red from drunkenness, as she helped him put on his underwear and then his shirt.

"During the time I was away, was the court peaceful?"

He asked, sitting down close to the head of the bed.

Xiao Meiniang slowly squatted down, lowered her head, picked up the boots beside the pedal, put them on him one by one, and brushed off the dust on the uppers. Then she stood up and said, "Everything is fine."

"Are Huangfu Wuyi, Yuan Wendu and others respectful to you?"

"They don't dare."

"That's right. No one wants to be the second Wang Shichong." Chu Pingsheng held her smooth little hand and pulled her forward, hugging her warmly and softly. He bit her face twice and asked, "Where's Dugu Feng?"

"You're going to marry his daughter, why are you still doubting him?"

"So sour, so sour."

Chu Pingsheng pinched her chin, leaned over and kissed her: "Then I will go to Dugu Feng tomorrow and postpone this marriage?"

Xiao Meiniang looked at her straightly: "Are you willing to do that?"

"I'm willing to give up everything for you."

"Is this the way you tricked Dugu Feng into your hands?"

"what way?"

"cheeky."

Chu Pingsheng said seriously: "How could that be possible, for someone as careful about his reputation as me."

"Nonsense." Xiao Meiniang tapped his forehead and said angrily, "I have met Dugu Feng, and she told me everything you said."

"Have you met her?"

Chu Pingsheng rubbed his temples, feeling quite troubled. There is always a mistake in a perfect plan. Looking back, those scumbags in the TV news who cheated many women and got money, beauty and children are really capable.

Seeing his frustrated look, Xiao Meiniang laughed: "Don't mention it, I quite like that girl."

"cough."

Chu Pingsheng muttered quietly: "As long as you don't fight, everything will be fine."

"What did you say?"

"nothing."

Xiao Meiniang did not continue to embarrass him on this matter, but instead talked about the latest news that Dugu Feng reported to her yesterday.

"Li Mi and Yu Wenhuaji should have formed a strategic alliance."

"I know."

"you know?"

"Pei Renji and Yuwen Chengdu appeared together outside Chang'an City and kidnapped the little princess of the Dongming Sect."

Xiao Meiniang said: "Yuan Wendu's intention is to recruit Li Mi and sow discord between him and Yu Wenzhi, so that they can fight among themselves and reap the benefits. If it is feasible, Liang Shidu, Dou Jiande and others in the north can also follow this method and defeat them one by one."

"Even if this method is feasible, then what? Will it only bring trouble to you?"

How could Li Mi, who was so cunning, not see Yuan Wendu's intentions? In history, accepting the amnesty to attack Yu Wenzhi was just to use the Sui court's tiger skin and be the banner of Wagangzhai. After all, judging from the situation at that time, Wagangzhai and Wang Shichong and Yu Wenzhi would have a battle sooner or later. Only by stabilizing one side could they attack the other side with all their strength.

Chu Pingsheng shook his head and said, "I don't have that much patience. How is the matter that I asked Dugu Feng to do going?"

"There is no problem with the Sha family, but..."

"but?"

"In this chaotic situation, it is easy to get soldiers but hard to get supplies. The day before yesterday, your father, Dugu Feng, and the Minister of Revenue Fan Zigai and others had a court discussion. There is not much silver left in the treasury. It is already difficult to support the current situation. There is no extra silver to update the equipment of the Left and Right Guards and the Left and Right Jinwu Guards."

Yang Guang conquered Korea, dug canals, built the Jiangdu Palace... This series of operations squandered all the family fortune left by Yang Jian. In the later period, he could only increase taxes and corvee labor and exploit the people to support the bureaucracy. When Li Yuan, Li Mi and others did not rebel, the court's finances were already very tight and stretched, not to mention that at this time, only Luoyang and the wild land in the southwest remained. Taxes were reduced, but the official establishment was still there, and the military expenses were huge. Fortunately, Luoyang was still the capital, and business was more developed than other cities, so the situation could be barely supported.

How can we get the money to expand the army? Where will the money come from? Will we continue to make up excuses and increase the burden on the people in the city?

Although she is a woman, she also knows that one should not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs or drain the pond to catch the fish.

Chu Pingsheng said, "I didn't have it before, but I have it now." "You don't want to take the Chai family's savings..."

“It hasn’t come to that yet.”

Xiao Meiniang looked at him with confusion. She couldn't think of any other way to achieve his desired goal except using the Chai family's assets.

Chu Pingsheng took two steps forward and came to a relatively open place near the palace gate and waved his sleeves.

Xiao Meiniang felt a dazzling golden light coming towards her. When she looked carefully, she saw a pile of gold bricks in an area two feet square on the ground.

He took a few steps back and waved his sleeves again, and the second pile of gold bricks appeared.

Xiao Meiniang watched him turn out piles of gold bricks. She was numb, her hands clasped tightly, and her expression was stiff: "Where... where did these gold bricks come from?"

Chu Pingsheng said: "Yang Gong's treasure house."

Xiao Meiniang suppressed her inner excitement and said, "It turns out that what Li Jiancheng said was true."

"Of course, the stone tablet outside Yang Gong's treasury is engraved with Yang Su's last words. These gold bricks were originally left by him to his descendants to help the court stabilize the country and overcome crises. Now that Yang Su's descendants are dead, using them to subsidize the finances can be regarded as helping him realize his last wish."

When Chu Pingsheng said this, his face was filled with the light of justice.

Xiao Meiniang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry about this. In the ninth year of Daye, Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan rebelled while Yang Guang was conquering Goryeo. However, he was defeated by Yuwen Shu, the father of Yuwen Huaji, and his entire family was killed.

If Yang Su knew in his afterlife that his gold was being used like this, he would probably open his coffin.

"There is so much gold. I am curious, where did you hide it?"

In her opinion, Master Chai just waved his sleeves and piles of gold bricks appeared, which was more magical than a magic trick.

But he just smiled and didn't explain.

Xiao Meiniang went forward to touch, patted here, searched there, and finally touched places that should not be touched, and her face, which was still red, became even more embarrassed.

"Ha, so you have other intentions than drinking."

"I...I didn't..."

When Xiao Meiniang met his half-smiling gaze, her heart trembled, and she flew away like a frightened swallow.

"Where to escape."

Chu Pingsheng used his Crane Controlling Skill to pull her to his side and whispered in her ear.

Xiao Meiniang shuddered, her face turned red, and she looked at him in disbelief.

"This...what did you say? Say it again, you actually want to..."

……

The next evening.

"Master, son..."

As the saying goes, there is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. Tuan, who was dressed well and elegantly, was walking steadily on the long road in front of the door, enjoying the envious gazes of passers-by. But when he entered Chai's mansion, his appearance changed. His spine was bent, his legs became faster, and his slightly raised head drooped.

"It's Tuan. How's the task I assigned to you going?" Chu Pingsheng stopped and asked with a smile.

"The news has spread. I believe that the guests from the surrounding areas of Luoyang will come to Luoyang soon."

"Okay, good job."

Calculating the time, it has been almost a year since the No. 1 Pawnshop in the World opened. Those who bought books and practiced Dragon Elephant Kung Fu, as long as they were not extremely poor in aptitude, should have achieved some level of success. So as soon as he came back from Chang'an, he asked Tu'an to spread the news, asking those who wanted to learn Kung Fu to rush to Luoyang within the next two months, otherwise they would not be waited for.

Chu Pingsheng took two steps forward, then stopped and turned back to say, "Well, spread the news that there are guests from 200 miles away from Luoyang City. If they come to Luoyang within a month to demonstrate their skills, their round-trip fare will be reimbursed."

"Sir, you are really kind-hearted. If you don't give them travel expenses, they will be eager to come and become masters. If you reimburse them for the round-trip travel expenses, even I will be tempted by such a good thing."

"Stop flattering me and go do your own thing."

"Hey, hey, I'll take my leave."

Tuan nodded and agreed, then went to the moon-shaped gate on the right, holding a box of cakes from Jixiangzhai in his hand. It seemed that the old lady was craving for mung bean cakes.

Chu Pingsheng turned left, pushed open the door of the study, hung a wooden sign that said "Do Not Disturb", closed the door, sat down on the short couch inside, stretched out his left hand, and watched the golden evil emperor's relics emerge bit by bit from his palm.

Before in Yang Gong's treasury, he had no time to carefully figure out its purpose. It was only on the way back from Chang'an that he sorted out its purpose from the information he gained in his mind.

For the leader of Xieji Sect, the use of the Evil Emperor's relic is to inject his own essence into it before death, until Xiang Yutian figures out a way to absorb the energy in it. Once the energy is absorbed, there is no way to improve the holder's skills, at least before the next leader of Xieji Sect dies.

However, when it fell into his hands, everything was different. In addition to supplying him with the remaining essence of the successive leaders of the Xieji Sect, this thing looked like a golden elixir, but it was actually a fake golden elixir. In other words, it was an artificial dantian independent of the upper, middle and lower dantians of the human body. Its effect was somewhat similar to the external dantian of the Purple Gold Zhanlu Sword, but it was more practical.

The Purple Gold Zhanlu Sword must be held in the hand, or carried behind the back, to contact his acupuncture points and meridians before it can be used. The evil emperor's relic is different. Once swallowed into the body, it can be used as a normal dantian. Moreover, this thing can not only be used by oneself, but also for others.

The dual cultivation technique with the addition of the Succubus Cultivation Method and the [Great Bliss Heavenly Demon Body] is extremely powerful. It is true that the power can be shared, but the premise is that there is a man and a woman, and the target is the opposite sex. If it is a man... uh, you can't let him fight with bayonets, right? He is not that perverted.

Indeed, the Xiaoyao Sect's Beiming Divine Art can also create a large number of masters, but there are two problems here. First, this thing has gains and losses, and it takes the path of harming others for personal gain. Second, the Beiming Divine Art has a conversion rate indicator, that is to say, it cannot be converted one to one. If the internal force attributes match, it can reach about 80%. If the attributes are not compatible, the conversion rate will decrease, just like before in the secret room of Yang Gong's treasury, Shi Zhixuan said earlier that he was looking for death. If a person with Yin attribute true qi absorbs Yang attribute true qi, not only will the conversion rate be extremely low, there is also the possibility of going astray. And if someone like Bi Xuan who practices the fire attribute Yan Yang Qigong is absorbed by someone like Yu Wenzhi who practices the ice attribute Xuan Bing Jin, he will most likely die on the spot.
