On the Avenue

Chapter 199 Taboos and Taboos

Two governors died in a row in less than a year, and he dared to take on the dangerous job of governor of Xinxiang. Xu Jian naturally had some tricks up his sleeve.

Chen Shi was talking to Scholar Pei just now, and he did not hide it from his ears. He also heard them talking about the young master from Yudu.

"I have never heard of this young master's name, but I can find out a few things for you."

Xu Jian said, "The young master is staying in Prince Zheng's Mansion. It is not difficult to find out his origins. After all, Prince Zheng's Mansion is in Yudu. Such a big target cannot be moved away."

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly and he asked, "Where is Prince Zheng's Mansion?"

Xu Jian showed admiration and said solemnly: "It is the former residence of Sanbao eunuch. Emperor Chengzu gave him the surname Zheng. Later, Sanbao eunuch discovered Xiniu Xinzhou and traveled back and forth between Xiniu Xinzhou and his ancestral land Shenzhou many times. He escorted the immigrants to Shenzhou for the last time. Xiniu Xinzhou died of illness on the way. When the emperor heard the news, he named him Prince Zheng. His former residence was Prince Zheng's mansion.

Chen Shi couldn't help but feel in awe.

Although Zheng Sanbao was an eunuch, he accomplished great deeds that no one with a sound mind could achieve, and was admired by future generations.

"The Sanbao eunuchs do not have direct descendants, but they do have adopted sons. Eunuchs like to adopt adopted sons to continue their family line."

Xu Jian was not sure, and said, "Young Master cannot be said to be a descendant of Prince Zheng's Mansion. However, in recent years, Prince Zheng's Mansion has declined, and no big shots have emerged. I will contact the elders of the Xu family and inquire, and you can wait for me with peace of mind." information."

He stood up. Chen Shi was about to pay the bill. Xu Jian held his hand and said with a smile: "How can I really let you invite me? If you invite me, I am accepting a bribe. I want to be an upright official. This meal I'll give it to you. Waiter, I'll settle the bill with you at the end of the year."

The waiter said quickly: "Okay! Master Xu, walk slowly!"

Xu Jian left.

Chen Shi also got up and returned to Chen's house.

The maid Qing'er is instructing some masons to repair the walls, and also hired some gardeners to take care of the yard, making the arrangements very orderly.

Qing'er was originally the personal maid given to Chen Shi by Commander Cui Zhen, but she has been in Chen's house for a while and has never found an opportunity to be with Chen Shi, so she is quite neglected.

However, she was thoughtful and prudent, and kept Chen's house in order.

"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

When she saw Chen Shi coming, she smiled, showing her little tiger teeth on both sides, and said, "Master, we have no money. The money in the farm is only enough for the daily expenses of our yard, but repairing the house will make us extremely poor." , I can’t get out a few coins. These days, I’m almost obsessed with money.”

Chen Shi took out tens of thousands of taels of silver notes from his sleeve pocket, all of which were issued by Wansan Bank. He patted his fortune on his hand and said, "How much do you want?"

Qing'er was startled and thought to herself: "Didn't you say that the master is a talisman master from the countryside? He has never seen a woman or money, so it is easy to fall for it. Why is he so rich? No wonder he looks down on us mediocre people. You vulgar fan, I haven’t even touched anyone’s hands since I’ve been home for quite some time.”

"Sir, it won't take much to repair and reset the yard."

Qing'er took out two banknotes from his hand and said with a smile, "These are enough."

Chen Shi took out a dozen more and gave them to her and said, "Take these and give them to you for wages. I'm not at home every day, but I'll come here occasionally to avoid treating you badly."

Qing'er shook her head and said: "Master, there is money at the farm, and the daily expenses and wages can be met, so there is no need for these."

"Then I'll give you some new clothes."

Chen Shi thought for a while and said, "Also, I also want to buy some new clothes. I have grown taller recently and my original clothes are a bit short. Which cloth shop in the city has the best tailoring skills?"

Qing'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master, why do you need to go to the cloth shop? I'm going to find out who is good at the craftsmanship, and just ask the tailor to come to your door."

She looked at Chen Shi and saw that Chen Shi's clothes were indeed a little short. He must have been growing taller because he was growing faster.

Only then did she notice that this gentleman looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with a somewhat childish look on his face, and some down had sprouted from the corners of his mouth, which were still transparent, with delicate and tender lips, bright red and thin.

He was just a big boy as tall as her, but very immature.

Qing'er's face turned red with embarrassment, and she thought to herself: "Master Cui is not a human being. This young master is obviously still a child, yet he lets others seduce him. How can those flirting methods be used on him?"

Chen Shi said again: "Kai Guo, you are my brother. You have to take care of me. Hei Guo, do you want new clothes?"

"Woof!"

"The black pot said, make him a few sets of waistcoats and trousers. Spend some money, not black ones."

Qing'er looked at Gouzi in surprise, then at Chen Shi, and thought to herself, "How did he understand what Mr. Guo said?"

She hurriedly went to take care of it, while Chen Shi came to the backyard and complained to the black pot next to him: "Spending money in the city is like running water. The money I spend in one day is equivalent to what we spend in Huangpo Village in a year. In my case, See, I'd better go back to this house. Even if some officials give me a thousand acres of fertile land, I can't afford it. I'd better go back to Huangpo Village, where my godmother, Zhu Xiucai, and Grandma Sha spend money. Less."

Black Guo looked at him doubtfully, and Chen Shi explained: "I do have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but grandpa said that silver is a spirit, evil spirit, and has self-awareness. Silver will choose its own owner, and some people make a profit of one." If you can't control a large sum of money, the money will run away. If you want to control money, you must have knowledge in this area."

He sighed and continued to live in the city. His hundreds of thousands of silver notes might flap their wings and fly away at any time.

"Grandpa has no knowledge in this area, so he is penniless. I am afraid that if I follow him, I will not be able to control the money and become penniless." He said worriedly.

Hei Guo was too lazy to pay attention to him. He opened his mouth and spit out a ghost book, sitting on a stool to read.

After all, this is the trouble of the rich, and it has nothing to do with it.

As soon as it sat down, a maid immediately brought some meat jerky and fruit and placed it next to the dog.

Hei Guo opened his mouth, and the maid half-knelt and half-knelt beside him, picked up a piece of meat jerky and put it in his mouth.

Hei Guo ate slowly and read while suddenly thinking that his refreshing life seemed to be piled up with silver. If Mr. Chen had no money, his life of enjoyment would be over.

However, he was not good at making money, so let Chen Shi worry about it.

Chen Shi was a young man, so he put his worries behind him and continued to practice the Eight Extremes Golden Palace Divine Chapter.

The Eight Extremes Golden Palace Divine Chapter has a lot more content than the Three Lights Righteous Qi Jue, especially when Chen Shi and Pei Shusheng dueled this time and activated this technique, he found that this technique was combined with the Jindan force field, establishing the Eight Extremes in the force field and erecting eight golden palaces.

The Divine Chapter said that there was nothing in the primordial universe, it was silent and quiet, all things were born, and the five elements were formed. Those who were born had extremes, those who were formed had losses, and they were born and formed, and they were immovable.

When the Jindan force field was spread out, there was this feeling of the primordial universe, the birth and formation, and the transparent silence!

And in the eight extremes of the force field, the eight golden palaces stood like gates, divided into eight gates, which were formed by one breath.

The shape of the eight gates was like the Chaotianque, which was a gate shape, with eaves and corners on it, brackets and arches, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, guiding immortals, and various auspicious beasts on the roof.

The portal was shining with golden light, and the divine power in the portal was surging and gathering into a golden sphere, as if being pulled by the portal.

When Chen Shi activated the technique, the golden light from the eight golden palaces poured into the golden elixir, tempering the golden elixir. At the same time, the golden elixir roamed around his body, tempering his hair and skin.

Suddenly, it fell from the sky gate on his head and entered his body, along the sky gate, jade pillow, big vertebra, body column, Zhiyang, Yaoyang, to the tail.

Then it went to the perineum, Guanyuan, Shenque, Zhongting, up along the throat, jumped to the twelve floors, went up along the tip of the tongue into the nasal abyss, and then jumped out of the sky gate.

When the golden elixir was tempered around the body again and entered the sky gate again, the direction of this circulation was different again, walking along the eight extraordinary meridians, and returning to the hands and feet.

The eight-gate golden palace divine chapter follows the route of the big five elements and the small five elements, which is divided into the inner and outer circles.

The small five elements are the internal organs, the big five elements are the limbs and the head, the inner Zhoutian is running inside the body, and the outer Zhoutian is running inside the body and outside the body.

The eight-door tempering is much faster than the Beidou tempering of the three-light righteousness, and it greatly improves the physical body.

Chen Shi realized that his energy, blood, tendons and bones were all rapidly improving, and the huge power in the golden elixir was refined into the body, even the hair!

One of his hairs was even harder than steel and tougher than the tendons of a wild bull. Even if a sharp blade cut it, it would not be cut off with one or two cuts!

"No wonder the song of the God Chapter says that it can refine the golden elixir into the Nascent Soul in a hundred days."

Chen Shi thought to himself, "My golden elixir nine turns, I'm afraid it will take more than half a month to refine it!"

Choosing a correct method is crucial for cultivation. First, it is fast to practice, and second, it is a solid foundation. Chen Shi has a deep understanding of this.

Even if he has the treasure house of the true king's tomb, he will take many detours in cultivation without the guidance of the existence of Shiji Niangniang.

Chen Shi practiced diligently, and after eight days, the golden elixir successfully entered the Huangting of the Central Palace, turning from green to blue, and completed the eighth transformation.

Only one more step is needed, and it will be the ninth transformation of the golden elixir.

His seven returns, eight changes, and nine returns have already refined his body into a holy fetus Dharma body. Refining the golden elixir and planting the yellow buds are a natural process, without the need for other cultivators to collect and refine elixirs and use external medicines to make great medicines!

His golden elixir, his blood, and his body are great medicines!

"The divine chapter says that if you return to your roots and return to your roots, all the gods will gather and turn into babies, and become one with the Tao. After becoming one with the Tao, the Tao is in my body, and I have cultivated the Tao body."

Chen Shi unconsciously had a glimmer of fantasy. The divine chapter says that the Tao body is used, and every move is a spell, a magical power. It is really desirable!

"Can I really cultivate a Dao body after cultivating into a Nascent Soul?"

He bent down and picked up a withered flower in the garden, thinking in his heart, "Compared with the Dao body and the innate Dao fetus, which one is stronger?"

The withered flower gradually became brighter in his hand, and the flowers were blooming, refreshing, as if it had been reborn.

Seeds were generated in the flowers, and they quickly took root and sprouted, and soon grew into a peony half a person tall, with three flowers.

When the peony bloomed, the flowers turned into three little red birds, flapping their wings and flying away.

The peony in Chen Shi's hand also withered rapidly, as if it had exhausted its vitality.

The three little red birds flew back and forth among the bushes, and suddenly one of them shook its head violently, as big as a hill, and pounced on the maid Qing'er who was walking over, almost swallowing the maid in one gulp!

Qing'er was so frightened that her soul almost flew away. Suddenly, the little red bird that attacked her died suddenly, and its body quickly rotted and turned into petals that drifted away.

The other two little red birds flew towards Chen Shi, and when they landed in his hands, they also disintegrated and turned into two peony flowers.

Chen Shi handed the two flowers to Qing'er, who was still in shock, and shook his head and said, "My magic still cannot achieve the desired effect. The things I transform into will inevitably become evil."

Qing'er calmed down, then remembered what she meant, and said quickly: "Sir, Governor Xu has asked to see you, let's drink tea in the front hall."

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly and he walked towards the front hall.

The front hall is a place for receiving guests. Qing'er was walking in front holding flowers. Suddenly she remembered that the flowers were transformed by a little red bird. She was almost eaten by the little red bird. She quickly put two peonies in the vase in the corner. .

As soon as she put the flowers into the vase, she saw two peonies quickly withering, falling apart, and turning into little bits of spiritual energy floating in the air.

Qing'er was stunned and didn't understand what happened.

When Chen Shi saw this, he thought to himself: "If I haven't cultivated the Taoist body, I still can't refine the false to become the true. I will always be lacking."

He walked into the front hall, where Governor Xu Jian was sitting drinking tea. When he saw him coming in, he stood up quickly. Chen Shi smiled and said, "Master Xu, please take a seat."

Qing'er took the new tea from the maid on one side and sent it to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi said: "Sir, is there any news?"

Xu Jian hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother Chen, when I said goodbye last time, I immediately divided into two groups when I returned to the government office. One group sent a few clever monks to Yudu to inquire about the young master's origins and news, and the other group led me. Use the Thousand Miles Telephone Talisman to contact the clan elders and ask them if they know where the young master is. You also know that the people under my command are very well-informed. I know everything you eat three meals a day and what maid you talk to."

Chen Shi nodded slightly and said, "You know more than the Heavenly Listener outside my door."

Xu Jian didn't seem to understand the irony in his words and continued: "The few monks I sent out are all capable people and strangers, and they know no less than the Tian Ting people. Not long after they arrived at the bath, they started talking to him. I'm out of touch."

Chen Shi raised his eyebrows.

Xu Jian said: "I asked the talisman master of the government office to use soul-calling talismans to summon their souls and try to ask them what happened."

Chen Shi asked: "The soul has not been summoned?"

Xu Jian nodded lightly.

Chen Shi tapped his index finger on the tea table, and after a moment, he said, "What did the seniors of the Xu family say?"

Xu Jiandao: "The person I contacted is my fifth uncle. My fifth uncle Xu Bufan has a high status in our Xu family. He once worked as a minister in the transfer department and was in charge of the money of the Ming Dynasty. He is well-informed and has a good relationship with me. I asked him about where he lives. The young master from Prince Zheng's palace was originally nice, but suddenly his tone became stern. "

He looked into Chen Shi's eyes and said softly: "Uncle Wu asked me not to pry around."

Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Is even the Xu family afraid of the young master?"

"I also have this question, so I would like to ask my fifth uncle."

Xu Jiandao, "The fifth uncle said that the Xu family is not afraid of the young master's power, but they don't want to provoke the young master. He said that the young master's affairs are very involved and are not something I can inquire about. He also asked me why I suddenly inquired about the young master. Chen brother."

He calmed down, took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, stood up and said: "There are some people in this world who are taboo and cannot even be mentioned. Brother Chen, you are taboo, and so is Young Master. What matters between you is your business. , I can’t afford to offend you. Stay and say goodbye.”

He left in a hurry without waiting for Chen Shi to see him off.

"Taboo? When did it become a taboo that I couldn't even mention?"

Chen Shi was surprised and murmured, "What kind of class do you have, young master? He is listed as a taboo like me. In that case... I will go to the bathing capital myself!"
