Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 216 Sharpening the Knife
For two days in a row, Chu Tang did not wait for Tao Ying to bring him any news from Nanqinghou Mansion.

Fortunately, he can still calm down, knowing that it is useless to be anxious, and knowing that he is stronger, he will have more confidence to face everything.

Therefore, he calmed down, accelerated the operation of the Nine Yin Scriptures and the Shenzhao Scriptures, and kept recuperating the internal injuries.

The result is gratifying. After working at full strength, his internal strength has recovered by [-]% to [-]%. The whole person looks like a normal person from the outside, not as weak as before.

On this day, Tao Ying met him and told him that the Nanqing Hou Mansion had indeed detained a troupe, and they were all locked in a cell in the Hou Mansion.

As for Zhao Ziyu's whereabouts, he did not inquire about anything.

If another day passed, and there was still no news, Chu Tang felt a little restless.

In fact, in the past three days, he hoped that Zhao Ziyu would come to his door again, so that he could be sure that she was safe and sound.

However, Zhao Ziyu seemed to have evaporated from the world, or he was extremely disappointed in him, and never came again.

The psychological fluctuations were so great that Chu Tang could no longer calm down and meditate. He went to Tao Ying again and asked her if there were a lot of invitations to invite him to come to her house a while ago, among them was Nanqing Houfu.

"Chu Tang, what exactly do you want to do?" Tao Ying was taken aback, frowning and asking.

Chu Tang said expressionlessly, "I want to meet the famous Nanqing Hou Shizi for a while."

Tao Ying frowned even tighter: "Chu Tang, this is not something you can do with your personality. What kind of theater do you really want to care about?"

Chu Tang said: "It's good to find out the truth. If I ask him to let him go, maybe Nanqing Hou Shizi will give me face?"

"Don't be naive!" Tao Ying shook her head and said, "If Wang Haochen had listened to persuasion, Nanqinghou's Mansion would not have fallen to the reputation that everyone hates today. Even Wang Yang can't do anything about his son. Why should he listen to your advice!"

Chu Tang became a little irritable, and said impatiently: "Then what else can I do? It's fine if she doesn't come to me, and I can pretend that I don't know anything. But she came to me anyway, so what kind of Guijunzi?" I have come to beg me as a citizen, and let me, the head of the Gui County police team, decide for them! Tell me, what else can I do?!"

Tao Ying was stunned for a moment, looked solemnly at Chu Tang who lost his composure, and said seriously: "Chu Tang, calm down."

"I'll calm down..." Chu Tang paused, startled himself.

His behavior just now was not like a normal him!
Taking a deep breath, Chu Tang faced Tao Ying and said in surprise, "Dean Tao, I'm sorry, Chu... seems to be a little bit out of control."

Tao Ying still stared at Chu Tang solemnly, and said, "Chu Tang, do you have some ideas that don't make sense?"

"The idea is not clear?" Chu Tang was puzzled.

Tao Ying thought for a while, and said: "It's like a knot in my heart that can't be untied... Feeling depressed, even painful, can't be resolved, can't sleep?"

Chu Tang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "That's not the case, it's just that I feel very irritable when I think of the son of Nanqing Houfu."

"It's okay, it's okay." Tao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you had encountered a demonic obstacle and had a demon in your heart!"

"Demon?" Chu Tang didn't even have this concept, and was rather surprised.

"How should I put it..." Tao Ying briefly popularized the common sense of inner demons, and then gave an example, "It was Xu Lingfeng who dueled with you before, and we suspected that he had inner demons, so we will eradicate you at all costs. "

Chu Tang was terribly frightened: "Just because Chu killed Shi Ziqian, he became Xu Lingfeng's heart demon, and he wants to stay with me forever?"

He felt very wronged.

It's very sad!
Tao Ying said with a wry smile: "I don't know much about heart demons. It's just hearsay. The reasons for their occurrence can be said to be various, and some are even inexplicable. Emotions arise, and demons arise from the heart. It is indescribable. It's also hard to describe."

Chu Tang frowned and said, "With the demons together, if you don't understand the demons, you can't enter the upper three realms?"

"I heard that's the case. It's just because the upper three realms involve the use of the spiritual level, and the inner demon will affect the stability of the spirit."

Chu Tang realized something.

Just like what the Buddhists say about obsession, people have obsessions, but they can't understand their thoughts, and they can't break through the lost way. Naturally, they can't be empty of all four things, and they can't become a Buddha.

On the way of martial arts, the inner demon will become a stumbling block. If people can't get through, they won't be able to become a strong person in the upper three realms.

Chu Tang quickly examined himself, and found that Zhao Ziyu's matter only made him feel uneasy, and it would not become an obsession.

"Chu is not really haunted by demons." Chu Tang took a deep breath, reassuring Tao Ying, "It's just that I have some concerns."

"Because of Zhao Ziyu?" Tao Yingsong asked with a half-smile while heaving a sigh of relief.

Chu Tang said seriously: "No! It's just because Chu is still a policeman in Gui County! It is said that he is in his position and seeks his own government, and Zhao Ziyu and Chang Xiaoming are the citizens of Gui County!"

"Chu Tang, are your words a bit hypocritical?"

Chu Tang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly, and said, "It's really hypocritical!"

Tao Ying sighed: "Sure enough, you are still influenced by her speech skills! Chu Tang, have you ever thought that she might say that on purpose to provoke you!"

"Then she has succeeded?" Chu Tang looked at Tao Ying with piercing eyes.

Tao Ying also looked at him for a while, then sighed for a while and said, "That's all! Chu Tang, you can do it yourself, I hope you can think twice before acting. A few days ago, Nanqing Hou's Mansion did send a greeting card, saying that their eldest son will be here The Hou Mansion held a lotus appreciation banquet, inviting young talents from Qingcheng to gather together, and also sent you an invitation card. It should be because they saw that you defeated Xu Lingfeng, and wanted to win you over."

Chu Tang lifted his spirits and asked, "When will it be held?"

"Tomorrow is time."

"Chu wants to participate, please make it easier for the dean."

Tao Ying took a deep look at Chu Tang, and said, "At first, I didn't want you to have too many contacts with people like Wang Haochen, so I didn't ask you about the invitation. Now it seems that everything is predestined. I will let you Someone brought it to you."

After speaking, Tao Ying left.

Chu Tang looked at her back and sighed softly.

It didn't take long for Chu Tang to wait, Tao Ying quickly sent someone to bring the invitation card and handed it to him.

Holding the dazzling golden invitation card, Chu Tang felt that it was very hot.

Looking up at the sky, the sun is shining brightly, but it makes people's skin hurt from the sun.

"Tomorrow, let's meet that prince..." Chu Tang shook his head, and slowly returned to his courtyard.

…………

It's evening.

"boom!"

Tang Yue slapped the desk in front of him at the Ziyiwei station in Qingcheng, stood up, and said to Tao Ying who was sitting opposite: "Xiaoying, you are so confused, how can you let Chu Tang meddle with you?" The matter of Nanqinghou Mansion!"

Tao Ying said blankly, "Tang Yue, I'm here to discuss with you, not to listen to your accusations!"

"You..." Tang Yue was angry.

Tao Ying came to look for him, without greeting him, and directly told what happened to Chu Tang in the past few days.

When Tang Yue heard that Chu Tang was going to be a guest at Nanqinghou's Mansion tomorrow, Tang Yue was terrified.

Tang Yue has experienced Chu Tang's ability to cause trouble these days, so he dare not underestimate it.

Even Chu Tang killed two of the master disciples of Luoshen Valley, the sacred place of martial arts, without blinking an eye. He didn't expect Chu Tang to give Nan Qinghou any face.

What's more, this time, Wang Haochen did it in a way that made people angry.

Chu Tang was young and vigorous, and Tang Yue was really worried that he would draw his sword against Nanqing Hou Shizi if he disagreed with him.

"What can I do?" Tang Yue was also very helpless, "He is a policeman from Gui County, and he is not under my jurisdiction, and I can't order him."

Tao Ying hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Why don't you come forward and discuss with Wang Haochen, and release all the troupe? I know Chu Tang, who has always had the temperament of doing more things than doing things less. As long as the troupe is okay , he won't make any extra trouble."

Tang Yue laughed angrily, and said, "President Tao, what do you think I am, the governor of Liangzhou? Even Shen Zuo can't take care of the affairs of Marquis Nanqing. To subdue the always arrogant and domineering Prince Nanqing Hou? You think too highly of me!"

Tao Ying was silent.

Even Tang Yue, the black guard who was feared by everyone, said that he could not intervene in the affairs of Nanqinghou's mansion, and she, the dean of the academy without an official or title, didn't have that face.

People respect her because of the face of the academy that her family has run for decades, not because they are afraid of her.

Besides, Wutong Academy trains civil servants, while Marquis Nanqing trains military commanders. The two sides have nothing to do with each other for eight lifetimes, and they can't talk at all.

As Tang Yue said, Shen Zuo, the governor of Liangzhou, the highest civil official in Qingcheng, could not control Nanqinghou's mansion.

As for the Black Clothes Guards...it depends on the situation.

Glancing at Tao Ying, Tang Yue sighed deeply and said, "Xiaoying, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that my identity is not good enough to participate in it. The black guards are the power of the royal family, and they are outside the court. And Nan Qinghou is The military commander of the Border Command, with tens of thousands of generals under his command, has always been the attention of the court. If I have anything to do with him, it may be a way of death.

"As for who will die, do you think the imperial court will use a frontier general to do the surgery? At that time, I will be the one who is unlucky! You know what happened to me. If I make a wrong step, I will die and my family will be destroyed. Only in between!

"Besides, even if I came forward, the Hou Mansion insisted that there was no such thing as detaining the theater troupe. How could I still bring black guards to search? That's the court's Lord Hou! Or, because I used to The Ziyiwei came forward to pay attention to this matter, they thought too much, thinking that the Ziyiwei was going to attack Nan Qinghou, but instead killed everyone. Wouldn't the dead be more wronged?"

Tao Ying saw that Tang Yue had made it clear inside and out, and immediately knew Tang Yue's bottom line.

"I didn't think carefully!" Tao Ying stood up, "I shouldn't make things difficult for you. Excuse me. Farewell!"

"Xiaoying, don't be angry..."

"No! I'm not angry." Tao Ying said seriously, "Tang Yue, you have your standpoint and your concerns. I took it for granted. I just... just don't have the heart."

Tang Yue remained silent and did not answer.

As for Tao Ying's so-called unbearable, what exactly is it, he didn't ask.

Can't bear to see Chu Tang get involved in it?

Can't bear to see Wang Haochen's cruelty, causing harm to innocent people?
Maybe both.

When sending Tao Ying out, Tang Yue still couldn't help admonishing him: "Xiaoying, don't get too involved in this matter, otherwise... it won't be good for Wutong Academy. Nanqing Hou Wang Yang, for his precious son, will do anything It can be done! If there is any situation, he may even lead troops into your academy!"

Tao Ying took a deep look at him and said, "I see."

After speaking, he walked out of the Black Clothes Guard station.

Tang Yue looked at the carriage going away, gradually disappearing into the setting sun like blood.

The sky is full of clouds, and it is dark red.

In the dim setting sun, the wheels of the car rotated and pressed against the bluestone slabs of Qingcheng Street, making a distant sound.

Tao Ying sat quietly in the carriage, with lowered eyebrows, deep in thought.

After a long time, she raised her head, her gaze was dark, and she sighed softly: "Chu Tang, no one can really help you this time. You... just do it yourself."

She couldn't help worrying about Chu Tang, for fear that he would do something difficult to deal with when he arrived at the Nanqinghou Mansion tomorrow.

Based on her previous understanding of Chu Tang, he hadn't even been interested in taking a look at such things in the past, but this time he had to take the initiative to participate, which was extremely abnormal.

Especially Chu Tang's state today is not right!

In fact, she wanted to strongly oppose Chu Tang's going to the Hou's mansion for a banquet, but Chu Tang's abnormality today made her unable to speak.

She was really afraid that if she was not careful, this matter would become Chu Tang's inner demon.

It is hard to get rid of the demons in the heart, and you will never die. I am afraid that the consequences will be more serious.

This is serious. At that time, I am afraid that it does not only refer to Chu Tang, but also the entire Nanqinghou Mansion.

Tao Ying's only hope now is that Chu Tang will be able to live in peace tomorrow, or that Wang Haochen will be more talkative, give Chu Tang enough face, and handle the matter properly, and everyone will be happy in the end.

But is this possible?
Tao Ying herself didn't believe her expectations.

"I hope nothing will happen." Tao Ying felt deeply in her heart.

When she returned to the academy, night fell and it got dark.

Tao Ying also became interested for a while, and asked Sister Lian, who had come to serve her, to ask Chu Tang what she was doing all afternoon.

"Meditate and adjust breath. They should be recuperating." Sister Lian has also helped take care of Chu Tang's daily life these days and knows his situation quite well.

"He hasn't fully recovered yet, so I'm in a hurry!" Tao Ying sighed, and continued to ask, "Apart from healing, what else did he do?"

Sister Lian thought for a while, and said: "After having dinner not long ago, someone brought a whetstone, and he polished the magic weapon himself for a long time."

Tao Ying was startled and flustered: "Is he sharpening the knife?"

"That's right, that divine weapon Yitian has been polished to a shine by him!"

Tao Ying was silent, and said with a wry smile for a while, "It's not only bright, but also beneficial!"

Now Chu Tang's magic weapon, Yitian, is no longer unknown.

After a battle with Xu Lingfeng, the "Yitian", which is capable of swords and swords, can not only draw swords as fast as lightning, but also use flawless flying immortals from the sky. Its prestige is unrivaled in Qingcheng or Liangzhou It can be regarded as famous.

It is special, and this special magic weapon can also be said to be Chu Tang's logo.

Why is Chu Tang sharpening his knife?

Tao Ying couldn't imagine it anymore.

"It's so annoying!" Tao Ying finally put down her burden, didn't think about anything else, had dinner, washed up, went to bed, covered herself with a quilt, and went to sleep.

Worry about tomorrow, worry about tomorrow!
Silent all night.

Early the next morning, it will soon be Si time.

The Lotus Appreciation Banquet in Nanqinghou Mansion is about to open.
