Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 171: Ten thousand people cultivate their qi, one person ascends to heaven (Additional update, thanks to Big Brother Nuan Yang!)
Why would Yao Xue write to him?
Li Rui took the envelope with a little doubt and slowly unfolded it.

The first thing you see is the beautiful handwriting.

"Senior, Junior Brother Qu is not dead. Everything that happened in the past was the result of the Ghost Sect's schemes. Now he has returned to the sect and is safe and sound. I hope to see you again someday. Yao Xueliu."

Qu Chengfeng is not dead?
Li Rui looked at the pale yellow letter paper in his hand and frowned slightly.

"It's really bizarre."

No one knows how Qu Chengfeng escaped from the clutches of the Ghost Cult.

"I underestimated him."

Li Rui chuckled.

Since Qu Chengfeng is not dead, there is no such thing as revenge for Qu Chengfeng.

He immediately took the letter and went to find Ning Zhongtian.

Yao Xue only wrote the letter to him, but the news had to be told to Ning Zhongtian.

Otherwise it would be a crime of deliberately concealing military intelligence.

Qu Chengfeng’s case involves two major organizations, Wenxianlou and Anningwei, not just Li Rui and Yao Xue.

After a while.

He knocked on Ning Zhongtian's door.

After a long while, someone finally opened the door, mumbling something.

"Brother Li?"

Ning Zhongtian greeted Li Rui listlessly: "Come in."

During this period of time, his subordinates had been in trouble one after another, and he was under a lot of pressure and was extremely depressed.

Li Rui did not enter the house, but took out Yao Xue's letter from his sleeve: "Miss Yao from Wenxian Tower sent a letter, saying that Qu Chengfeng was indeed captured by the Ghost Cult, and his body was disguised by the Ghost Cult. He has now escaped and returned to Wenxian Tower, safe and sound."

"really?!"

Ning Zhongtian was delighted.

This is rare good news in recent times.

Li Rui couldn't help but smile and handed the letter to Ning Zhongtian: "I have a letter from Miss Yao from Wenxian Tower as proof."

Ning Zhongtian took the letter, glanced at it, and his frown relaxed:
"well!"

"Tell Lord Jiang about this, I'm sure he will be happy."

Ning Zhongtian now urgently needs happy events to change his position in Jiang Linxian's heart.

In Anningwei, although he is Jiang Linxian's right-hand man, don't forget that his real benefactor is Lieutenant General Lei Yong, not Jiang Linxian.

If you want to consolidate your position, you must show real results.

The friendship between Jiang Linxian and Lei Yong is not something he can squander at will.

Done.

Li Rui tactfully said he had important matters to attend to and left in a hurry.

Looking at Li Rui's leaving back, Ning Zhongtian felt more and more that Li Rui was his lucky star.

Then, he tidied himself up briefly and ran excitedly to find Jiang Linxian.

Qu Chengfeng is not dead.

There is no need to continue the laborious search, and more energy will be available to deal with matters within the garrison.

It's a good thing for him.

Of course, we have to do it quickly.

The turbulent undercurrent in the Qing River gradually subsided.

Chunyan Tower is full again.

Thanks to Jiang Linxian's help, 60% of Ning Zhongtian's men were saved.

As for the others.
What they did was so evil that even Jiang Linxian could not bear to watch it, and directly told General Zhao of the Law Enforcement Battalion to punish them severely in accordance with military discipline.

Only then could Ning Zhongtian breathe a sigh of relief.

Even though it is his subordinates who are suffering, if this trend continues, Cao Wei will take action against him sooner or later.

Why didn’t Jiang Linxian help before?
On the one hand, he wanted Ning Zhongtian to catch the murderer who killed Qu Chengfeng as soon as possible. On the other hand, he might also want to use Cao Wei to warn Ning Zhongtian.

Ning Zhongtian is capable and has good martial arts skills.

But he was involved in the underworld in his early years and his ways were too wild, which easily led to him breaking the rules.

The above are all Li Rui’s speculations.

"Master, the minds of these big shots are really scary."

Liang He couldn't help but feel horrified when listening to Li Rui's analysis of recent events.

He suddenly felt that he was not suitable for officialdom.

You don't even know when you were killed.

On the surface, it seemed that Ning Shoubei's subordinates were not honest, so Cao Wei and the county government worked together to investigate and enforce military discipline.

In fact, they are just games for big shots.

Sometimes your boss is more terrifying than your enemy. If Qu Chengfeng hadn't miraculously survived this time, Ning Zhongtian might not have been able to escape so easily.

Li Rui laughed: "Xiao He, there's no need to be so depressed. Lord Jiang will eventually help."

Killing some seventh-rank officials was a trivial matter in Jiang Linxian's view.

As a soldier, if you commit a crime, you must be severely punished.

Otherwise, the prestige of joining the army will be gone.

But if Cao Wei wanted to touch Ning Zhongtian, that would touch Jiang Linxian's bottom line.

His subordinates could only be disciplined and punished by him. If Cao Wei wanted to interfere, he would be breaking the rules.

As for Ning Zhongtian, he was distracted by this matter and did not complete the task he was assigned to do.

Sorry.

This is not a question that Jiang Linxian needs to think about.

We can only blame Ning Zhongtian for his lack of ability and failure to control his subordinates, and he should be punished.

This is what it means when a kind person is not in charge of an army.

Liang He shuddered.

It is said that the officialdom is like a battlefield. An Ning Wei is not a frontier garrison and does not need to face the enemy frequently, but the risks behind the scenes are no less.

Ning Zhongtian was already a sixth-rank garrison commander, but he still had to walk carefully.

Not to mention that he was just a low-ranking soldier.

Looking at Master Li again, his image becomes even brighter and more majestic.

"Among the entire An Ning Guard, the most stable one has to be our hall master!"

This disturbance almost swept all of Ning Zhongtian's men. Everyone felt insecure except Li Rui, who remained calm and continued to practice his sword skills and breathing exercises.

I don't know.

Some people seem to go to bed early and get up early and are extremely self-disciplined, but in fact they run around late at night for a sense of security.

Li Rui certainly wouldn't tell Liang He that he was squatting outside the county government office every day. "Xiao He, how long have you been in An Ning Wei?"

Liang He said respectfully: "Two years, three months and eleven days."

Li Rui raised an eyebrow.

He just asked casually, a simple opening remark, but he didn't expect Liang He to remember it so clearly.

He coughed lightly and said, "I remember that you have been in the ranks for about a year."

"Yes, Master."

Li Rui nodded with satisfaction: "I brought you out of Tianyi Hall, so you are half of my disciple. I am very pleased that you have achieved what you have today."

Liang He felt warm in his heart: "It's all because of the bishop's kindness."

This is the truth.

If it weren't for Li Rui, he might still be an unpopular disciple of Tianyitang.

Li Rui: "Xiao He, I have recently gained some insights and created a new technique. Do you want to learn it?"

Self-created exercises.

If others heard this, they would definitely laugh their heads off. Not only would they not want to learn it, they wouldn’t even want to look at it any more.

Without him.

Even a genius like Jiang Linxian would not create his own martial arts, let alone Li Rui who is just a seventh-rank martial artist.

Generally speaking, the higher the martial artist's realm, the more complete the martial arts he creates.

For those forces with a long history, most of them have martial arts created by their predecessors. They only need to follow the path of their predecessors to move forward steadily.

It is unwise to ignore the broad road and instead take the thorny path.

But Lianghe is an exception.

Not only did he not think Li Rui's words were far-fetched, he nodded solemnly and said:

"Master, I want to learn!"

He didn't even hesitate, and there was a burning desire in his eyes.

I admire and trust Li Rui from the bottom of my heart.

"."

Li Rui was stunned. He had even thought about the possibility that Liang He would hesitate and how to persuade him. He did not expect that all his back-up plans would be useless.

He couldn't help but say, "Xiao He, this matter concerns the fundamentals, you can think about it more."

"No, I want to learn martial arts from the hall master. It is my honor to learn martial arts from the hall master!"

Liang He's eyes were firm.

He is even more confident in Chang Chun Gong than Li Rui himself.

That’s right, Li Rui wants to pass on Lianghe Changchun’s skills.

"Very good."

Li Rui nodded with satisfaction.

The idea of ​​passing on the skills started three days ago.

He continued to perfect his sword-maintaining techniques and accidentally discovered the magical effect of Xuanqing Qi.

That is to let others nourish his energy for him.

All you need to do is leave a wisp of mysterious and pure energy in someone else's body, and then teach him the sword-cultivation method. That person will be able to help him accumulate sword intent and nourish his true energy during his daily sword-cultivation process.

He can recycle the true Qi and strengthen himself, and that person's affinity for the true Qi will increase by nurturing the Xuanqing Qi, thus cultivating the true Qi faster.

Win-win.

It’s just that there are too few people in the world who are willing to learn his self-created martial arts and who have good talent.

It also has to be trustworthy.

After much thought, it seems that Liang He is the best candidate among us.

This is how today's scene happened.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at Liang He with a smile.

Liang He blinked, not knowing what Li Rui meant.

Li Rui sighed and reminded: "Since you have passed on your kung fu, you can no longer call me the Hall Master. Call me Master instead."

"Master?!"

Liang He's eyes widened and were soon filled with ecstasy.

He fell to his knees with a thud.

He kowtowed three times.

Seeing that there was no sign of stopping, Li Rui grabbed Liang He's shoulders and said, "Three kowtows are enough. If you kowtow any more, I can't bear it."

Ancient cloud:
"Bow on the third day but not the fourth day. Something bad will happen if you bow on the fourth day."

Therefore, when you become a disciple, you just need to kowtow three times. If you kowtow more than that, only ghosts and gods can appreciate it.

Too much good fortune can sometimes bring disaster.

These are just old rules that the elderly follow.

Liang He said "oh" in confusion, then stood up obediently.

Li Rui looked at Liang He and became more and more satisfied.

It’s not that he doesn’t have disciples.

Both Wang Zhao and Ma Yang who died earlier were masters, but they could only call him Master.

Although there is only one letter difference between master and master, there is a huge difference between them.

A master is an elder who teaches skills. Li Rui taught Wang Zhao the skill of raising horses so that he could make a living. The focus is on passing on skills, not necessarily repaying them. This is called a master.

But Master is different.

Liang He really wants to treat Li Rui as his father. Li Rui passed on all his martial arts to Liang He. Liang He must serve tea to him every day and take care of Li Rui in his old age if that day ever comes.

The day.

Li Rui passed on his own Changchun Gong skills to Liang He.

"Practice diligently every day, and don't slack off."

Finally, he gave a warning.

Liang He was in high spirits and nodded heavily.

He was about to turn around and leave, but Li Rui stopped him and said, "Pack your things and move in here today."

Liang He's eyes widened, and before he could adjust to the change of his status, his pupils soon narrowed into a line:

"Yes, Master!"

Li Rui looked at Liang He who was jogging away, smiled and shook his head.

There is a limit to how much energy a person can cultivate.

But if his guess is correct, ten thousand people will cultivate their qi, and one person will ascend to heaven!
