Li Shentong held the wine gourd in his hand and looked at it over and over for a while, then he leisurely uncorked it and sniffed it. His expression changed slightly, and he took another small sip.
Then he looked up as if savoring the taste, smacked his lips, and gulped down another big gulp.
Looking at that, it seems like he finished half of the gourd in one bite...
Finally, he put the gourd aside with a "dong" and put the stopper back on: "General."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Li Shentong leaned back and leaned back in his chair leisurely: "I want to be away from the world and watch the clouds and water quietly, but I have to deal with worldly affairs. This is the contradiction of the old Taoist. It's the same with wine. I want it to be ethereal and have a long aftertaste, but I can't get rid of the fierceness in it. It explodes the soul and lingers. The aftertaste is unexpectedly here. I wonder what his expression would be if I said that I just like this unwanted rigidity of it."
A real drunkard, Zhao Changhe himself had also tasted Yuxu wine, and he only felt that the wine was delicious and mellow, and he had never tasted so many strange things.
Li Shentong suddenly stared at the wine gourd again and frowned, wondering what he was thinking about.
Perhaps what he was thinking of now was the true meaning of this pot of wine, but it was impossible for Zhao Changhe to see the secret code of these two seniors.
He had no intention of understanding other people's homosexuality, so he tried to ask, "Senior, is there anything else you want me to take back?"
"No." Li Shentong said calmly, "He didn't want me to bring anything back."
Then he looked at Zhao Changhe again, as if thinking about something: "This is not new wine, it has been aged for three years. There are so many people in his place, so there must be someone who has sent him wine in the past three years. But he specially asked you to send it, just to let me take a look at you..."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Li Shentong waved his hand: "I've seen him, he's just so-so. I thought he was strong enough, but now it seems he's not as good as Situ. He has a scar on his face, so I thought he looked manly, but when I look closely, he's actually quite handsome. Not interesting."
Zhao Changhe: “?”
Do you buy pigs
Li Shentong said: "Since you have sent me wine, I should repay you. What do you want?"
Zhao Changhe knew in his heart that sending wine could not be considered a favor. It was more like a favor from Yuxu... Yuxu asked him to deliver the wine, which was actually a recommendation from an elder: You, the junior, can take care of it.
So Zhao Changhe thought that he could ask Li Shentong to fight Maitreya. After all, he had the predestined relationship with Situ Xiao and he might be able to ask him to fight. But Tang Wanzhuang refused cautiously. It seemed that Tang Wanzhuang had some taboos about Li Shentong. The reason was unknown.
If I don't ask for this kind of thing, what can I ask for in Shenhuang Sect? Of course, it's the experience of body building. This may also be the original intention of Yuxu's recommendation. Yuxu himself is not a body builder, so he can't give any advice in this regard. It's just right for him to come to Shenhuang Sect for advice.
Because of the missing array plate, the Blood God Cult's inheritance is incomplete. It doesn't even mention what medicines are needed for body building, and the Heavenly Book has to fill it in, not to mention the specific methods of body building. Are the basic methods of early years such as horse stance, stone lock lifting, and medicinal bath still applicable today? Are there other secret methods? I don't know. The Heavenly Book only guides the need for certain items, but the various experiences in the training process are also what the Heavenly Book cannot give you.
To this day, Zhao Changhe has basically stopped training his body except for forcing himself to improve himself by finding items like blood ginseng, because he doesn't know how to do it. In fact, even now when he continues to look for Juntian Blood Jade and Blade Grass, he feels quite confused. He doesn't know what to use them for or how to use them. He doesn't have the enthusiasm to have them because he lacks clear guidance.
But with such an important matter right before his eyes, Zhao Changhe spoke without hesitation: "I would like to ask for your help, senior."
Li Shentong nodded: "Speak."
"My dear friend Yu Bashan is missing. The last clue must have been injured... I don't know where she is right now, or what kind of powerful enemy she might have encountered, but the range should not be far from here... I hope the seniors can help pay attention to this matter. If you can help me at a critical point, I will be very grateful."
Li Shentong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhao Changhe with a strange look: "Do you know what you could have gotten?"
Zhao Changhe said flatly: "It doesn't matter."
"Ha..." Li Shentong laughed, "You don't even know where the person is. If I agree to it, it doesn't matter. I can just say that I can't find him. Isn't it just a waste of time?"
Zhao Changhe said: "What the senior does is up to the senior, I just said what I want."
“Hahahaha…” Li Shentong finally laughed out loud: “Okay, I’ll take it.”
Zhao Changhe said: "Thank you, senior... Oh, this friend is..."
"Yue Hongling." Li Shentong said indifferently: "She once passed by the Emei area. If you think about your relationship tree, you will know it is her."
Zhao Changhe was overjoyed.
Having passed by Emei before, it meant that my judgment was correct. Yue Hongling did go to Miaojiang, and the trip in this direction was not in vain.
And Li Shentong knew about this, so he had a clear idea. Zhao Changhe stood up and bowed: "Then I'll trouble you to pay more attention to me... Well, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye."
Li Shentong smiled and said, "If Situ is here, I can keep you here for a few days. If he is not here, I think it will be boring for you to stay here... The town outside the mountain is mostly the property of our Shenhuang Sect. You can do as you please. Food and lodging are free."
"Thank you, senior." Zhao Changhe bowed again and turned to leave.
Li Shentong said from behind: "Although you don't need to do horse stance, bow stance, running and lifting the lock every day, you can't completely abandon it. Muscle Qi and blood training is always effective... You may have neglected it for a long time, and feel a sense of disconnection and stagnation in the way of body training."
Zhao Changhe paused.
Li Shentong continued, "The Blood God Cult's method lacks targeted training and tempering... For example, the horizontal training method requires you to constantly withstand various attacks to temper your copper skin and iron bones. If the Blood God Cult is more offensive, then have you repeatedly hit trees and rocks?"
Zhao Changhe thought about it. The Blood God Cult had repeated chopping with the sword, but that was considered basic sword skills. Although there was also targeted muscle training, it obviously could not be considered body building.
After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "According to the special function of the Blood Evil Technique to guide the blood and evil spirits, this is also one of them."
"Well... it can also be considered as strengthening the muscles, qi and blood." Li Shentong said: "When you were learning this technique in your early years, you were always paying attention to the changes in your qi and blood, but now that you have become accustomed to it, have you continued to pay attention to and guide it like this?"
Yes, and no... Whether it was the fruit given by Xia Longyuan or the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng, it seemed to be digested naturally, but in fact it was naturally formed according to the operation of the Blood Evil Technique. But this was not conscious, but the foundation of the technique was there, and it was 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 it to bring about any targeted changes.
This is not active body building, but passive absorption of energy from natural treasures. It is not as good as the careful examination when doing horse stance and soaking in medicinal baths in the early years.
In fact, the method of body building has always been there, but I have long ignored it.
With this reminder, you can react quickly. If you have paid careful attention when taking the Dragon Elephant Blood Ginseng, you should be able to feel the "dragon-elephant transformation" process in which your muscles improve layer by layer and your strength increases. This is the process of body building, mastering every detail of the changes in your body, rather than just taking medicine and calling it a day.
By extension, if one obtains the so-called sharp blade grass in the future, one should guide the medicinal power into the body and then observe how the power becomes sharper, making the evil spirit as sharp as a blade and turning one knife into thousands. It is actually adapted for use in "blood all over the mountains and rivers".
The previous power was suitable for "the dispersion of gods and Buddhas".
In fact, each step has very clear steps, and everything becomes clear in an instant.
Zhao Changhe suddenly realized something and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Li Shentong waved his hand and said, "I didn't teach you anything. That was what your Blood God taught me. I just told you not to ignore it. Go."
Zhao Changhe bowed and left.
An old man came in from outside the door and brushed past Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe politely bowed and the old man nodded. He turned around and watched Zhao Changhe go out. He slowly walked in front of Li Shentong and asked in confusion, "Why are you giving him advice? Isn't that stabbing Situ in the back..."
"Si Tu needs a strong opponent to compete with each other and gain something. Bullying someone who has no inheritance from a famous teacher, is it very prestigious if you win? It makes you look like a hero?"
“Well… he may not be without a famous teacher. His external training may have been interrupted, but his inner cultivation has always been influenced by Tang Wanzhuang and even the Four Symbols Sect. Tang Wanzhuang in particular taught him with all her might.” The old man emphasized the three words “Tang Wanzhuang”, as if reminding Li Shentong of something.
"There are some obstructions in his meridians. No matter how many inner methods Tang Wanzhuang taught him, his main practice is still on outer skills." Li Shentong seemed not to understand his reminder and was too lazy to say more: "What's the matter with you?"
The old man glanced outside the door again and lowered his voice: "Zhai Muzhi's people are forcibly conscripting civilians again. Those who don't go have to pay... How can people afford to pay... The outer disciples have all come to us crying..."
Li Shentong's expression turned cold.
"And the spring tax silver sent from Miaojiang to Shujun has already arrived nearby... Should we..."
The old man made a cutting gesture as he spoke.
Li Shentong knew why the old man was a little wary of Zhao Changhe and even emphasized Tang Wanzhuang's accent when he mentioned her. When Zhao Changhe lived at the foot of the mountain, the old man even considered whether to give up on this matter.
Because the impression Zhao Changhe gives people now is that he is very close to the court.
In the battle of Mile, it seemed that Tang Buqi was the commander-in-chief and there were many people from the heavenly and earthly rankings in the battle, but in fact, those who knew the matter knew how big a role Zhao Changhe played here.
Isn't what their Shenhuang Sect is doing also the same as Maitreya Sect
In theory, killing Zhao Changhe and framing it as Zhai Muzhi is what the Shenhuang Sect should do.
Li Shentong didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "Just do what you need to do. Why are you so cautious? You are really going backwards as you grow older."
