Chapter 434 Drinking (Two in One)
Shen Qingzhou didn't take the compression of true Qi too seriously. To be honest, although the quantity seemed small, the quality was much higher.
Di Yun was able to use his inner energy to kill wild geese, which was something most martial artists wouldn't even dare to think about. The true energy couldn't be sustained if it left the body, but the Shenzhaojing could condense it to the point where it could leave the body and kill wild geese.
After the Shen Zhao Jing was completed, the same Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was used. A small dragon appeared in the hand. Now it had a nose and eyes, and you could also see the dragon's whiskers, although it was still a little blurry. This was the result.
The condensation of internal force has many benefits. Nowadays, Yangzhou Man's internal force, in terms of the degree of condensation, is definitely not as good as his current internal force. If it is condensed again, I don't know how strong it will be.
To be honest, I almost got killed by Guanyin's Tears just now. However, after the proficiency reaches one million, the effect of using internal force to drive proficiency is reduced a lot. After one year of practice, I don't even have ten thousand proficiency. It is better to increase the proficiency directly.
Guanyin's tears can increase one's martial arts skills by twenty years, but for him, it can only last for a few years at most. As his martial arts skills increase, Guanyin's tears can only be used as a elixir for him.
In fact, this is an elixir given by the system. There is a panel that tells you how much to add. If it were in reality, after taking two Dahuandan pills, you would have developed drug resistance long ago.
Nowadays, Shen Qingzhou can use the internal force of the Shen Zhao Jing freely. The Shen Zhao Jing is truly magical. Before it is fully developed, it is no different from ordinary internal force, and one cannot make any advances for at least ten years. But after it is fully developed, it becomes extremely powerful and transforms overnight.
Nowadays, his Shen Zhao Jing is definitely better than Ding Dian's, and even Mei Niansheng is not as good as him. The high level of proficiency is around 700,000. He is far ahead of others. I think that even if Ding Dian knows that he has taken the treasure of Lian Cheng Jue, he will probably think that he knows it earlier than him.
The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Shen Qingzhou arrived at Hua Ruling's courtyard. Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had already arrived.
"Master Lu, Master Shen, Wu Yan had the protection of the immortal being and was well prepared, so she managed to break through the barrier successfully. However, since she has been exposed, this time, we must make sure the people behind her suffer a little.
We have already found out about the last incident at Jile Tower. She should be from the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty's forces are complex and extremely difficult to investigate. She is heading towards the Song Dynasty.
Although I have tried my best, the internal situation of our Ming Dynasty is complicated, and I cannot guarantee that she will be able to stay in the Ming Dynasty.
The man in white who intercepted you yesterday was not from the Ming Dynasty. This was his second time. The previous time, we tracked his whereabouts, but he disappeared after going out to sea.
If there is any information later, I will inform Hero Lu and Hero Shen." Hua Ruling described what he had done.
The Peacock Princess and the Hanhai Kingdom didn't talk about this, so there's no need to worry about it. It's just an unresolved issue.
From Hua Ruling's words, we can see that although he is very powerful, he cannot do whatever he wants in Ming Dynasty. The main reason is that Wuyan herself is a master, plus she has several magical weapons protecting her, how can ordinary people catch her?
There is also a hidden meaning, Hua Ruling suspects that she also has connections in the Ming Dynasty. This is what this messed up world is.
"This world of martial arts is truly too exciting." Shen Qingzhou sighed after leaving Taohua Castle.
"There are so many experts, isn't it interesting? Oh no, Hua Man Lou, I have a bet with Si Kong Zhai Xing. If I can't get to the capital within five days, I will lose and leave.
What a pity, what a pity, there is no time to go to Happy Forest, but there is still a chance, Hua Manlou, Shen Yujing, see you later." Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile, for Lu Xiaofeng who likes to find trouble for himself, it is indeed very interesting.
Lu Xiaofeng is indeed an interesting person. After knowing that the iron shoes incident was over, he wanted to leave immediately. Shen Qingzhou believed that he did it for the bet, as a man should remain young until his death.
Lu Xiaofeng flew up directly. His lightness skill was so graceful that Shen Qingzhou didn't know who was better between him and himself.
"Happy Forest?" However, this Happy Forest he mentioned seemed a little familiar, Shen Qingzhou said.
"Happy Forest is a place between Suzhou and Hangzhou where land and water meet, and it is very popular among people in the martial arts world. As long as you have money, there are few places where you can't do things." Although Hua Manlou couldn't see, he could hear Shen Qingzhou's doubts and explained.
He also knew that although Shen Qingzhou was a martial arts expert, he had only officially entered the martial arts world in recent years, starting with the escort mission. It was normal that he didn't know about Happy Forest. Happy Forest had only begun to grow and develop in recent years.
Moreover, he also knew that Happy Forest was actually related to the Sun Mansion in Suzhou. In the Jiangnan area, few things could be hidden from the Hua family, and the Sun Mansion was no exception. Even though Sun Yubo (Meteor Butterfly Sword), nicknamed Old Man, had unfathomable martial arts skills and even though he had a wide range of friends, in Hua Ruling's view, he was just that.
Although martial arts are very important in the martial arts world, Hua Ruling's family is one of the richest families in the world, and their strength is unimaginable to others.
Not to mention the Hua family, even the Shen family and the Nangong family may not be as powerful as the Sun family, but they still look down on them.
As the saying goes, where there is black, there is white. This is no exception in the Jiangnan area. Although Sun Yubo has a very good reputation, in the eyes of many people, he is also a figure from the black area.
He and the Twelve Flying Peng Gang are competing for the right to speak in the underground world. Old Man Sun and King Wan Peng are also big shots.
However, important figures could not come to Hua Ruling's banquet. Their identities did not allow it. After all, they were not from the serious martial arts world. Of course, there were rumors that Old Man Sun was from the Sun family.
If it was that Sun family, everyone would have to pay attention to it, the Sun family that was famous in the martial arts world, whose current head had not appeared in the world for many years, but whose power had not diminished at all.
The head of the Sun family is Sun Tuozi, and his eldest brother is Sun Baifa, the old man who ranks first in the current weapons list and is a well-known top master in the Ming Dynasty. The Sun family often walks around with a common appearance, but everyone knows that the Sun family should not be underestimated. However, Sun Yubo has never said that he is a member of the Sun family.
This Happy Forest is right between Uncle Sun and the Twelve Flying Peng Gang. Boss Gao of Happy Forest runs Happy Forest very well.
Shen Qingzhou understood. In the original version, the powerful old man and King Wanpeng might still be powerful, but in the mixed world, there would no longer be two forces dividing the martial arts world. But then again, he forgot whether the original version also had only the Jiangnan martial arts world.
"Is that so? If you have time, you can go and have a look." Shen Qingzhou said. It is interesting to talk about it. Gambling is banned in some places, such as Pinggu County and Jilelou before. However, in Jiangnan and even in the capital, there seem to be many gambling houses, so there is no problem.
"It's better to be careful recently. Many outlaws have come to Jiangnan recently. The Happy Forest is a mixed crowd and it's very chaotic. If you want to travel to Jiangnan, I can go with you." Hua Manlou reminded him, even though he knew that he was worrying too much. He had seen Shen Qingzhou's martial arts and it was undoubtedly superb.
"Haha, Mr. Hua, there is one more thing I want to ask of you." Shen Qingzhou said. It was not long before Shen Bijun's wedding, and the dowry had not been completely prepared yet. He had already prepared the valuable things, including jewelry, pearls, and some gold and silver jewelry and valuable items from the Xi Kingdom.
He also specially brought half a box of gold bars, which he came here to buy as his dowry. Since he was here, he should not embarrass Shen Xia.
When he first came, Hua Ruling's birthday banquet was not yet completed, and he did not tell Hua Manlou that he needed his help, which was inappropriate. But now, things are basically done, and it's okay.
"Whatever it is, just ask." Hua Manlou smiled slightly. Shen Qingzhou had helped him more than once. Both with Jilelou before and this time, Shen Qingzhou had contributed. As for the cooperation with the escort agency, Hua Manlou didn't care about it at all. He thought that talking about money was superficial with his friendship with Shen Yujing.
"A relative of mine is getting married soon. Mr. Shen has a long journey and is unable to prepare the dowry. I hope Mr. Hua can help." Shen Qingzhou said.
"Okay, when will we get married and where will we get married?" Hua Manlou said. "The Shen family in Suzhou, Shen Bijun." Hua Manlou paused while fanning himself. He really didn't expect that Shen Qingzhou and the Shen family in Suzhou were related. If they didn't have the same surname, they must be relatives.
"Yes, it's the Shen family. Coincidentally, I only learned about this from an elder some time ago. My parents have been away for many years, and the two families have not been in contact for more than ten years.
This time it happens to be Grandpa Hua's birthday. Since we are in Jiangnan, it would be bad not to go. I will buy some dowry for my mother. But I think they may think they can't contact us. "Shen Qingzhou said with a smile.
"Brother Shen, Wugui Villa is a noble family, and the Shen family is also a wealthy and powerful family. The dowry should not be treated too lightly. Since it is my aunt's matter, I will naturally do my best." Hua Manlou became serious.
To be honest, if an ordinary person gets married, it is easy to prepare a dowry, but for this kind of aristocratic family, it is the most troublesome, you can't just have quantity without quality.
"Brother Hua, I have already bought the jewelry, gold and silver. I would like to trouble you to exchange them for ingots and copper coins." Shen Qingzhou said.
He had no intention of asking the Hua family to pay, even though they were willing to pay, but what was what was meant was what was meant, and he was not short of money.
He has already disinfected the half box of gold bars, which contains at least five thousand taels of gold. All the subsequent dowry expenses will come from here.
I have to say that the dowry is indeed expensive. For example, five thousand taels sounds like a lot, but if it is converted into one thousand taels of gold ingots, ten thousand taels of silver, and ten thousand strings of copper coins, then the three thousand taels of gold will be gone.
He used the remaining money to buy at least two or three hundred pieces of brocade and feather gauze, and a dozen pairs of gold bracelets and hairpins. Those he picked were treasures that Shen Bijun might not even be willing to wear. There were some from Xi Kingdom, but there had to be some from the Ming Dynasty as well.
There are countless real estate deeds, dried abalone, candied fruits, meat, fish, wine, tea, candy and fruits. How to say it, the dowry is equivalent to all the supplies a woman needs from birth to death.
If you calculate it this way, it won't make much difference. Anyway, it will definitely not bring shame to the Hengyang Shen family. Shen Qingzhou doesn't care about me, but she is the mother of this world. After all, she gave birth to me and raised me, so I should do my best.
After experiencing three worlds, Shen Qingzhou has understood the dowry. The more the better. Fortunately, he has the treasure, otherwise, he would have to make money. The transformation of his escort agency also requires money.
He just didn't believe that, except for the Shen family, other relatives gave as many gifts as he did. This was not showing off, but strength. Although he might not earn as much money as others, who made him have the treasure?
But sometimes I also feel that this dowry is really interesting. It also includes good wood and a coffin. However, Shen Qingzhou doesn't need to give the last one, as it was purchased by Shen Bijun's immediate relatives. As for Shen Xia, it's enough to have money.
The Hua family began to take action. Although it sounds exaggerated, to the Hua family, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Shen Qingzhou would drink with Hua Manlou, or practice martial arts, and stay at the Hua family, occasionally listening to rumors outside.
Apart from Qin Ge, there is Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng became very famous and uncovered the true identity of the Iron Shoe Thief. In the minds of people in the martial arts world, Qin Ge was just a gimmick and Lu Xiaofeng was the real big shot.
Although Shen Qingzhou also knew who Tiexie was, he did not go down to the secret room and was not there when the case was solved. However, he did not regret it at all. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. What if he had not come out? He should not be superstitious about the plot. He was still used to taking his destiny into his own hands.
The main reason was that the matter of Xinghua Village could not be told to anyone, otherwise, Shen Qingzhou would become famous. Wuyan was involved with the power of another country and it was not easy to spread it. Hua Ruling and the court seemed to have their own plans. Hua Ruling even looked for Shen Qingzhou specifically.
But Shen Qingzhou himself didn't care. With his martial arts skills, it was not difficult for him to become famous. He just didn't want to be in the spotlight like Lu Xiaofeng.
Besides, even if you say that Shen Qingzhou defeated Wu Yan, most people in the martial arts world still don't know who she is. It's more interesting to say that Song Wencao is Tiexie.
Shen Qingzhou is a low-key person. It is enough for the Hua family to know that he is capable. He also occasionally goes to Suzhou City with Hua Manlou for a stroll. This Suzhou City is really huge and prosperous. It is normal that one cannot finish the tour in a week.
Hua Manlou is quite free and easy. He grows flowers and drinks tea every day and is truly passionate about life.
On this day, in Hua Manlou's manor, Hua Manlou returned to Taohua Castle to deal with Shen Qingzhou's dowry. Hua Manlou took it very seriously.
He didn't come back that night, which was normal, but the abnormal thing happened after dinner.
"Brother Shen." He Xiaohui came to him. Speaking of which, He Xiaohui gained a lot. After rescuing the proprietress, Zhu Ting directly told her all about some of the mechanisms that could be improved and the hidden dangers that he discovered when he went to Tianji Villa.
When Zhu Ting went to Tianji Villa, he actually found many defects, but he didn't dare to speak out casually. This time, he really said a lot, and He Xiaohui was also stunned. Moreover, Zhu Ting could even upgrade his family's cloud-chasing car.
Sometimes one has to admit that geniuses do exist, so she has been studying very hard during this period of time. She will definitely return to Qixia Town with Shen Qingzhou.
Moreover, she did not plan to go back empty-handed. Since she had come to Suzhou, how could she not buy something to sell? She had opened so many stores. Jiangnan was a prosperous place, and many of the most fashionable things were here. She was also an expert in business.
"Master He, is there something wrong?" Shen Qingzhou asked, watching her carrying two plates of side dishes.
"I wonder if you have any good wine." He Xiaohui hesitated for a moment. After she finished speaking, Shen Qingzhou didn't do anything yet, but she felt embarrassed.
If there is one more person, they can drink, but if there are only two of them, drinking can easily lead to accidents.
"Of course, the fine wines from the Western Regions, Maotai, Wuliangye." Shen Qingzhou was stunned for a moment. He was not a fool. If it was just about drinking, why should He Xiaohui be embarrassed?
"Please." After drinking several cups in a row, he coughed and his face turned red.
"Brother Shen, you have helped me a lot this time. When you took me to Xinghua Village, I could give you what you wanted. I just hope that Brother Shen will not fall into the evil way." He Xiaohui's eyes were blurry and she was emboldened by alcohol. She just hoped that he could be more normal. Some postures were really unimaginable and too humiliating.
"Big cow, what is the devil's way?" Shen Qingzhou said.
"Don't call me that." He Xiaohui quickly covered Shen Qingzhou's mouth. This was the nickname Shen Qingzhou gave her when they were deeply in love for the second time.
To be honest, she looks big on the surface, but after peeling off some things, you will find that she is still bound, otherwise, Shen Qingzhou would not have given her this nickname.
With a blurred look in his eyes, two figures overlapped each other. At the same time, the candlelight went out. Anyway, for Shen Qingzhou's current martial arts skills, it didn't matter whether the light was turned off or not.
