The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 441 Li Shentong

   Li Shentong looked at the wine gourd over and over for a while, uncorked it leisurely and smelled it, his expression moved slightly, and he took another sip.

   Then he raised his head and thought about it as if aftertaste, smacked his lips, and took another big gulp.

  Looking at that appearance, I feel like I killed half of the gourd in one bite...

  Finally, he put the gourd aside with a "boom" and put the stopper on again: "General."

  Zhao Changhe: "..."

  Li Shentong leaned back and leaned on the chair leisurely: "I want to wander outside the world and watch the clouds and water, but I have to deal with ordinary things. The contradiction of the old way is here. The wine is the same. I want the clouds and mists to have a long aftertaste, but I can't get rid of the toughness inside. It blows up the Lingtai, lingering, but the aftertaste is here unexpectedly. If I say that I just like it. I don’t want the rigidity, I don’t know what his expression is."

  True alcoholic, Zhao Changhe himself drank Yuxu's wine, and only thought it was delicious and mellow, and he had never tasted so much of it.

   Li Shentong suddenly stared at the wine gourd again, frowning, not knowing what he thought of.

  Maybe what he thinks of now is the true meaning that this pot of wine wants to express, but it is impossible for Zhao Changhe to see the secret signals of these two seniors.

  He didn't intend to understand other people's friendship, so he tried to ask: "Senior, do you have anything else you want me to take back?"

   "No." Li Shentong said indifferently: "He didn't even think about what I would bring back."

   As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Changhe again, thoughtfully: "This is not a new brew, it has been three years old. He is full of people, so it is unlikely that no one has sent wine for three years, but he specially asked you to give it, just to let me take a look at you..."

  Zhao Changhe: "..."

   Li Shentong waved his hand: "I've seen it, that's all it is, I thought it was majestic enough, but it may not be as good as Situ after seeing it this way. It is said that there are scars on the face, and I thought it was a man, but it is actually quite handsome when I look closely, which is boring."

  Zhao Changhe: "?"

  Do you buy pigs?

   Lishen Channel: "Since it is the righteousness to give wine, this seat should repay it. What do you want?"

  Zhao Changhe also knew in his heart that giving wine is not a kind of favor, it is better to say Yuxu's favor... Yuxu asked him to give the wine, in fact, it was a recommendation from the elders: this junior, please take a look at it.

  So before, Zhao Changhe thought that he could invite Li Shentong to beat Maitreya. After all, with this fate and Situ Xiao's friendship, he might be able to invite Li Shentong. It's just that Tang Wanzhuang cautiously rejected it. It seems that Tang Wanzhuang has a certain avoidance of Li Shentong, but I don't know the reason for it.

  If you don't make such a request, what can you ask for from God Huangzong? Of course it is body forging experience. This may also be the original intention of Yuxu's recommendation. Yuxu himself is not a body trainer, so he has nothing to say in this regard. It is appropriate for him to come to Shenhuangzong for advice.

  Due to the defect of the array disk, the Blood God Sect has incomplete inheritance. It didn't even say what medicine is needed for body training, and it has to be supplemented by heavenly scriptures, let alone the specific method of body training. Are the basic methods of Zama stepping up stone locks and soaking medicinal baths in the early years still suitable for today? Are there other esoteric methods? have no idea. The heavenly book also only guides the need for certain items, but the various experiences in the training process cannot be given to me by the heavenly book.

  To this day, apart from looking for blood ginseng and other items to forcibly improve Zhao Changhe's body training, he has basically stopped practicing body training because he doesn't know how to do it. In fact, even if I continue to look for Juntian Blood Jade and Sharp Blade Grass now, I feel quite confused. I don’t know what to use and how to use them. I don’t have the enthusiasm that I must, because I lack clear guidance.

  But such an important matter is right in front of him, Zhao Changhe said without hesitation: "I want senior to help me."

  Li Shentong nodded: "Say."

   "My best friend Yu Bashan is missing, and the last clue must have been injured... At present, I don't know where she is, and what kind of powerful enemy she may encounter, but the scope should not be far away... I hope the seniors can help pay attention to this matter. If you can help me at a critical point, the juniors will be very grateful."

   Li Shentong was stunned for a moment, and his gaze became a little rare when he looked at Zhao Changhe: "Do you know what you could have gotten?"

  Zhao Changhe said decisively: "It's not important."

   "Ha..." Li Shentong laughed and said, "You don't even know where the person is, and if I agree, it can mean that there is no such thing, as long as I can't find it, it will be fine. Isn't it useless?"

  Zhao Changhe said: "How seniors do it is seniors' business, I just say what I want."

   "Hahahaha..." Li Shentong finally burst out laughing: "Okay, I will take care of this matter."

  Zhao Changhe said: "Thank you senior... Oh, this friend is..."

   "Yue Hongling." Li Shentong said nonchalantly: "She has passed by the Emei area, and if you think about your relationship, you will know it is her."

  Zhao Changhe was overjoyed.

   Once passing by Emei, it shows that his judgment is correct, Yue Hongling has indeed gone to Miaojiang, and this direction is not in vain.

   And Li Shentong knew about this, so it will be even more solid.

  Zhao Changhe left his seat and saluted: "Then I would like to trouble seniors to pay more attention... Well, this junior will not bother senior anymore, so I will leave."

  Li Shentong smiled: "If Situ is here, I can keep you here for a few days. If he is not here, I think it would be boring for you to live here... Most of the towns outside the mountain are owned by my Shenhuangzong. You can do what you want, and the board and lodging are free."

   "Thank you, senior." Zhao Changhe saluted again, turned to leave.

   Li Shentong said behind him: "Horse stance lunge, running and lifting locks, although you don't have to do it every day, but you can't completely abandon it. The exercise of muscle energy and blood is always effective... You may have been abandoned for a long time. On the way of body training, you feel fragmented and stagnant."

  Zhao Changhe paused.

   Li Shentong continued: "The method of the Blood God Sect lacks targeted tempering... For example, the method of horizontal training needs to withstand various attacks continuously and temper your own copper skin and iron bones. If the Blood God Sect is more aggressive, have you repeatedly beat trees, mountains and rocks?"

  Zhao Changhe thought for a while, the Blood God Sect has repeatedly chopped knives, but that counts as the basic skills of saber techniques, although it also has targeted muscle training, obviously it can't be regarded as exercise.

  Hesitating for a moment, he replied: "The special effect of guiding blood energy and evil energy according to the blood evil work is also one of them."

   "Well... it can also be regarded as the exercise of muscle qi and blood." Li Shen said: "When you learned this exercise in the early years, you have been paying attention to the changes in qi and blood, but now that you have become accustomed to it, have you continued to pay attention to and guide it?"

  Yes, and no... Whether it is eating the fruit Xia Longyuan gave, or the later dragon elephant blood ginseng, it seems to be digested naturally, but in fact it is naturally formed according to the operation of blood evil. But this is not conscious, but the basis of the practice is there, formed naturally, I did not deliberately observe the catalytic process of the energy of these natural treasures entering the body, and did not deliberately guide to bring about any targeted changes.

   This is not actively exercising, but passively receiving the energy of heaven, material and earth treasures. On the contrary, it is not as good as Zamabu's medicated bath in the early years.

  In fact, the method of body forging has always been there, but I have long ignored it.

  Being reminded like this, you will be able to react quickly. If you have carefully checked and guided yourself while eating dragon elephant blood ginseng, you should be able to perceive the process of "dragon elephantization" in which your muscles improve layer by layer and your strength increases accordingly.

  By extension, if you get the so-called sharp-edged grass in the future, it should be the process of guiding the medicinal power into the body and observing how the power sharpens, making the evil spirit like a blade, and turning it into thousands. It is actually suitable for "blood-filled mountains and rivers".

  The previous power is suitable for "separation of gods and Buddhas".

  In fact, every step has a very clear ladder, and it suddenly becomes clear.

  Zhao Changhe was enlightened, and bowed to the end: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

   Li Shentong waved his hand: "I didn't teach you anything, that's what your blood **** taught yourself, but I just told you not to ignore it. Go ahead."

  Zhao Changhe saluted and went out.

  An old man came in from outside the door and passed by Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe bowed his hands politely.

   "Situ needs a strong opponent, so that he can compete with each other and each get something. If he bullies someone who doesn't have a famous teacher inheritance, it's very face-saving to win? A hero?"

   "Uh...he may not have a famous teacher. He may have stopped practicing external skills, but he has always had the shadow of Tang Wanzhuang and even the Sixiang Sect, especially Tang Wanzhuang's teachings have spared no effort." The old man bit the accent on the word Tang Wanzhuang, as if to remind Li Shentong of something.

   "His meridians are somewhat obstructed. No matter how many inner skills Tang Wanzhuang taught, his main practice is still in the outer skills." Li Shentong seemed not to understand his reminder, and was too lazy to say more: "What's the matter here?"

  The old man glanced outside the door again, and lowered his voice: "Zhai Muzhi's people are recruiting civilian husbands again, and those who don't go pay the money... How can people afford the money... The disciples from the outer sect are all crying to us..."

   Li Shentong's expression turned cold.

   "There is also the spring tax bank from Miaojiang sent to Shu County, it has arrived nearby... Do we want to..."

  The old man made a cut gesture as he spoke.

   Li Shentong knew why the old man was a little wary of Zhao Changhe, and he deliberately emphasized Tang Wanzhuang when talking about it. When Zhao Changhe lived at the foot of the mountain, the old man was even considering whether to give up on this matter.

  Because the current Zhao Changhe gives the impression that he is very close to the imperial court.

  In the battle of Maitreya, it seemed that Tang Buqi was the coach, and there were a lot of battles in the battle, but in fact, the knowledgeable knew how much role Zhao Changhe played here.

  What they Shenhuangzong is doing, is it not Maitreya?

  Theoretically, killing Zhao Changhe and planting it to Zhai Muzhi is what Shenhuangzong should do.

  Li Shentong didn't say anything, but just smiled: "Just do what you have to do. Why do you have so many scruples? It's really getting better and better."
