Liaozhai Great Sage

If Wu Xiang was simple and honest before, he was very wise.

After turning around, Li Xiuyuan showed his face in front of everyone, said hello, and found Sha Jin who was doing morning exercises.

"Head Sha, what kind of kung fu are you practicing? If you want to beat your body with a hammer, aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"

Sha Jin replied with some embarrassment: "I made the eldest and young master laugh. This is the iron cloth shirt method that I learned in the past. This hammer is powerful and the body needs to be practiced every day. Otherwise, the flesh will be loose and the energy will be loose. The small ones are about to fail."

"Iron cloth shirt method? It sounds like kung fu from the Wu Temple. I used to know a simple monk who also practiced kung fu. He said he came from the Shaolin Temple. Did you also learn the martial arts from the Shaolin Temple?" Li Xiuyuan asked. road.

Sha Jin was startled and said: "Eldest young master actually knows about Shaolin Temple, this young one is indeed taught by a monk."

"Haha, when you meet Monk Han some other day, you can treat him to a meal, but you don't know how good your martial arts are? Can you show it?" Li Xiuyuan asked curiously.

Iron cloth shirt, golden bell cover, I didn't expect this world to have them.

But here it is not called iron cloth shirt, it is called iron cloth shirt method.

There is one more character, which means that this is no longer a pure martial art, but a martial art that is biased towards magic.

"Since the eldest and young master are interested, then the younger one will make a fool of himself." Sha Jin was also not modest, and immediately agreed with some excitement.

Showing martial arts in Li Xiuyuan is not just a show, but a test.

Sha Jin glanced left and right and picked up a green brick in the corner. Immediately, he pressed his fingers hard, and the green brick was crushed into powder in his hands. among the tree trunks.

Almost a palm was submerged in it, and the people who watched were terrified.

But after Sha Jin pulled out his palm, it was intact.

"Young Master, the bodyguard's palm is powerful. He once beheaded a cow." A bodyguard couldn't help shouting.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help clapping his hands and praised; "Good martial arts, good skills, I heard Han Meng mention the ability of Sha Escort before, but seeing it today is beyond my imagination."

"Thank you for your compliment, Eldest Young Master, this little talent is nothing." Sha Escort smiled a little embarrassedly.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's a waste of your martial arts to use your fists and feet. Why don't you learn some sword techniques from Han Meng. Using your strength on the sword is countless times better than your fists and feet. I have nothing to give you. I will give you this hundred-steel-steel sword." .”

After speaking, he took out a steel knife from the ghost king's bag and gave it to Shajin.

This is the top-notch steel knife made by his Li family. It is very valuable, and it is only worn by Han Meng, Wu Xiang, Xing Shan, or warriors.

"Thank you, young master." Sha Jin Yixi quickly took the sword.

But I saw that the scabbard was wrapped in shark skin, gilt and silver-plated, and when I pulled it out a little, I saw that the blade had fine patterns, gave off a cold light, and was very sharp.

"You're welcome, you deserve it. By the way, Escort Sha, assign two local Escorts to me and take me to the capital for a stroll. I'm new here and I want to see the local customs here." Li Xiuyuan said .

"Yes, young master." Sha Jin immediately ordered two clever escorts to take good care of young master.

But then he said: "Eldest young master, isn't it a little unsafe to just bring two people?"

"Boss, take me, I'm full." Wu Xiang stood up.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Alright, Wu Xiang, you can come with me, and Han Meng, you can stay here. Fifty soldiers can't make trouble here. You have to watch out. If something goes wrong, I'll take you ask."

After speaking, his tone became severe.

"Yes, young master." Han Meng clasped his fists in response.

Soon, he went out with two local escorts and Wu Xiang, and wandered along the streets of the capital.

But as soon as Li Xiuyuan left, Han Meng looked at Sha Jin again and said with a smile: "Boss Sha, your martial arts skills have been favored by the young master, and I'm afraid it will be hard for you not to make a fortune in the future."

"Oh. How do you say that?" Sha Jin wondered.

Han Mengdao: "Young master likes to recruit warriors with outstanding martial arts. There is Xing Shan in the front and Wu Xiang in the back. The young master Zuo Qianhu of Six Doors also thought about recruiting, but he is a member of the public family and cannot be transferred. If you can give up, let's take Wu Xiang as an example. This idiot is full of supernatural power and is terrifyingly tight. The young master gave him a monthly salary of 1000 taels of silver in January, including wine and meat. made."

"But Wu Xiang is grateful, I don't want the young master's money, just eat and drink is enough."

"Of course this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that the young master will let people lead the army." Han Meng said with a suppressed voice: "You have taken the young master's knife. If you are willing to join the Li family army, at least one of them will be the commander. With 1000 troops, isn't it much better than the escort?"

"It's no wonder the young master asked me to practice knives. You need knives to fight on the battlefield." Sha Jin said.

Han Meng laughed and said, "I just don't know if Sha Escort has the idea of ​​making great achievements and honoring his ancestors?"

"Of course, as long as the young master says something, there is nothing to be afraid of fighting on the battlefield." Sha Jin was not afraid at all.

Chapter 6 to eighteen

The prosperity of the ancient capital somewhat exceeded Li Xiuyuan's expectation.

This kind of prosperous age that only belonged to ancient times, that kind of heavy sense of history, and a unique charm of this era made Li Xiuyuan, who was walking on the street, feel a little shocked.

No matter how weak and corrupt the Great Song Kingdom is.

But in the capital city, you can't feel these at all, all you can feel is the scene of a prosperous age like a raging fire cooking oil.

Merchants gathered, scholars traveled, and the style of writing flourished.

It's a pity that such a scene only exists in the capital.

Li Xiuyuan's tour of the capital was not without purpose, he first went to the mansion he investigated yesterday.

"Whose official residence is this, so magnificent?" He asked intentionally or unintentionally when passing by the official residence.

The accompanying escort smiled and said: "Young Master, this is the official residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so it is quite grand."

Ministry of officials?

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, so the person who was sent to assassinate yesterday had an inseparable relationship with the official minister.

"It's not indecent to come and go. Since the servant of the official department treats me so kindly, then I have to do something."

He glanced at it, and his eyes stayed on the two stone lions in front of the official residence of the official minister.

That is not a stone lion, but a suanni, but the appearance is a little familiar.

These two stone lions were built by experts. They have cast spells and opened their lights. Just standing there has a sense of majesty and gravity, and has a special charm. It seems that this stone lion is real and it is majestic at the moment. Lin Lin squatted there to look after the home and the nursing home, and the stone lion watched countless passers-by, absorbing popularity, and had already been psychic for a long time.

With these two suanni guarding them, it is enough to stop ghosts and gods who have practiced for less than 500 years. Even ghosts dare not easily break into the mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials at night.

This is just the stone lion at the gate. Maybe there are door gods, kitchen gods, and even some gods and Buddhas in the mansion.

Therefore, a seemingly simple mansion may actually be a forbidden place for ghosts and spirits.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, and immediately strode towards the mansion of the official minister.

"Young master, please stay still. If you want to visit my master, please pass on the greeting card." The guard at the door immediately stopped Li Xiuyuan, and his tone was quite polite.
