Zongwu: Saving Wu Meiniang at the beginning

"Can't you just be quiet? Who can stand you?"

As soon as he saw Wu Ming, Jing Wei's coldness quickly disappeared like ice meeting spring water.

Yue Ji on the side looked at her with a bit of displeasure. Even though she was familiar with Sister Jingwei, she seldom smiled at her. But Wu Ming was different. She really gave all her smiles to Wu Ming.

"Tell me about this operation!"

"The trip to Gusu went relatively smoothly. The Murong family has been raided. Two of the four great generals resisted and were killed. One of them was belligerent and the other foul-mouthed, but not very capable. They died worthy deaths."

"The remaining two have been escorted to Chang'an City and are currently being held together with Murong Fu."

"There is another person who is a little special. He is the head of the Qi Sect of Huashan Sect, named Yue Buqun. He was a guest at the Murong family when we went there. At first, he probably didn't understand the situation, so he said a few words on behalf of the Murong family, and then tried his best to distance himself from the matter. We have also captured him this time, and it is up to you, my Lord, to decide how to deal with him."

"The Murong family has two maids, one named Ah Zhu and the other Ah Bi. They are pretty and charming, but they don't have much martial arts skills. I don't think they have a deep connection with the Murong family. Jing Wei took the initiative to bring them back to the mansion to be maids."

"Okay, this deserves praise!" Wu Ming had no expression when hearing what was said before, but when he talked about Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, he directly raised his thumbs, highlighting his honesty and unpretentiousness.

"As for Mantuo Villa, only Madam Wang was arrested. There was also a young lady named Wang Yuyan, but she was sent away by Madam Wang first."

"When the internal guards were tracking them, they had already lost their tracks. The people who wanted to help them also had considerable power in their hands."

"Jingwei is not doing his job well, please punish me, sir."

"I will punish you severely. Find a time to come to my room and I will beat you with a stick. This will teach you a lesson."

Yue Ji, who was standing by, wanted to help, but when she heard Wu Ming was going to the room and using a stick, she secretly spat. In her opinion, Wu Ming's plan had extended from the Wu Mansion to Mantuo Villa.

Jingwei seemed to know what Wu Ming's stick meant. She gave Wu Ming a charming look and then continued to report her work.

Now that we have talked about people, the next thing is naturally other gains.

Money doesn't matter. The biggest gains from the Murong family and the Mantuo Villa are some martial arts secrets.

There are good and bad things. The unexpected surprise is the Murong family's star-changing skills. As for the sword and finger techniques, they are nothing to Wu Ming.

Don't doubt the imperial court's ability to confiscate property. Normally, there are no secret passages that can be hidden from the imperial court's eyes. Such matters are handled by professionals.

Most of these people were trained in Gongshujia. Gongshujia's Po Tu Qillang was a specialist in finding and solving mechanisms.

Chapter 70: Entering a Den of Thieves

Rose pine nut candy, poria cocos cake, jade sweet cookies, lotus root powder and ham dumplings.

These four items are all famous pastries in the south of the Yangtze River. If they can be used together with good Biluochun tea, they can relieve greasiness and enhance fragrance, and they are indeed wonderful products in the world.

The four kinds of dim sum were made by A-Bi. In the original novel, when Duan Yu met A-Bi, he said that this woman had an eight-point appearance and a twelve-point temperament, and the combination of the two was not inferior to those ten-point women.

After meeting A-Bi, Wu Ming deeply agreed with this point.

It is said that Suzhou girls are the most beautiful in the world. They are not only beautiful in appearance, but also in their expressions, speech, posture and manners, which are extremely graceful, gentle and tactful.

A-Bi responded to this statement, her voice was sweet with a hint of stickiness, and the soft Wu dialect was the most tender.

She was not as smart and clever as Ah Zhu who was traveling with her, nor was she able to read people's expressions. Instead, she had a rare stubbornness and dared to look Wu Ming in the eye, showing a gentle appearance but strong heart.

Wu Ming probably understood that the reason why A-Bi lost to A-Zhu in the film and television was probably because the lover of every hero in the world did not have a father who was the most romantic in the world.

She was just loyal and gave everything for Murong Fu. Murong Fu already had Wang Yuyan, so how could she be important?

Even when selecting actors, they don't take it seriously. The Ah Bi in this world is much more beautiful than those in movies and TV shows. Although she is destined not to receive any good system rewards, her cute and sensible image alone is pleasing to the eye.

"From today on, all my services in the mansion will be in the charge of the two of you. You should be very good at being maids, so I won't send anyone to teach you. If there is anything you don't understand, go and communicate with the housekeeper in the mansion yourself."

"Sir, may I ask Young Master Murong..." A-Bi hesitated for a long time, but finally ignored A-Zhu's pulling and asked the question in her mind.

"Master Murong? From now on, you will only have Master Wu here. How can a traitor be called a master?"

"understood?"

"Sir, we understand." Ah Zhu hurriedly pulled Ah Bi to kneel down.

"It's good that you understand. You must be clear about this point. At the very least, you must stand on the side of your family and country. The Murong family did adopt you, but the crime of treason is unforgivable!"

"You should know that many people like you who were raised by the Murong family actually have a blood feud with the Murong family. Take Ah Bi for example, your family had a conflict with the Murong family in business, and that's why your entire family was wiped out. The one who did it was Murong Bo, your old patriarch."

"No way, how is that possible? You are lying to us."

"This is the information we got when interrogating Deng Baichuan. You all know Deng Baichuan, a veteran servant of the Murong family. The internal guards used a secret drug to erode his consciousness during the interrogation. This means that the truth of these words is 100 percent." Wu Ming looked at A Bi with some pity. Of course, he had no need to lie to a little maid. What he had just said was indeed the true situation. In this world of martial arts, the accumulation of capital would only become more bloody.

The imperial court is not omnipotent. Basic order can be maintained, but the breeding of evil in some dark places is inevitable.

"Sir, am I like this too?" Ah Zhu looked at Wu Ming with a trembling voice. She had a face like Teacher Bai and was obviously still a virgin, but she gave people the charm of a young woman.

"You... you are not, but your life story is more complicated. Your biological mother is Ruan Xingzhu, and your biological father is Duan Zhengchun, the Prince of Zhennan of Dali."

"Come to think of it, you are still a little princess."

"If it's really like what the adults said, why did they abandon me?" Ah Zhu always had more ulterior motives than Ah Bi. She believed Wu Ming's words, but only half of them.

"Duan Zhengchun's legal wife is Dao Baifeng, a woman from the Baiyi tribe. The Baiyi tribe has a monogamous custom, which means that Duan Zhengchun cannot have other women. However, he is a playboy. In addition to your mother, he has also had affairs with many women, many of whom have given birth to his children."

"You have a younger sister, but she was separated from you when she was abandoned by your mother. The stars in the sky are bright and shining, forever shining, and eternal peace; the bamboos by the lake are lush and green, heralding peace and joy." + "There is a word 'Duan' engraved on each of you."

"Your Excellency is right. I have also seen Sister Azhu's golden locket. So my life story must be true." A-Bi, who was about to cry, spoke in a daze. What she said was completely illogical.

Anyway, Wu Ming couldn't understand why if Ah Zhu's story was true, then her story must be true. Just because Ah Zhu's story was true, could he be sure that he didn't lie before?

This may be women’s logic!

"Okay, I've told you everything I know. Think about it carefully and focus on your work from now on." Wu Ming took another bite of the snack made by A-Bi, then left shaking his head.

The reason why I wasted time and told them all this was just to let them do their work with peace of mind. Especially Ah Bi, don't really hang yourself in the mansion, it will be bad for his reputation if it gets out.

After Wu Ming left, A-Bi couldn't hold back her tears any longer and she hugged A-Zhu and burst into tears.

The two sisters have both had a rough fate. Seeing her younger sister crying like this, Ah Zhu thought about how she was abandoned by her parents since she was a child. She was also sad and burst into tears in the blink of an eye.

This voice really made Wu Ming feel awkward. He always felt that the people in the mansion looked at him in an abnormal way. One of these two girls was capable and the other was well-behaved. They became very popular soon after entering the mansion. Not to mention the maids and servants, even Yue Ji and others were happy to see them.

This even includes Jingwei. Jingwei maintains a cool image outside, but inside the mansion, especially around Wu Ming, he completely takes off his disguise.

She was the one who personally interrogated the two retainers of the Murong family. She was also the first one to know about A-Bi's experience. Perhaps because she was a mother, she could not bear to see such human suffering.

Anyway, I was touched and was very tolerant of both of them.

"Are you bullying again?"

"What? I am bullying people. The two girls know their past lives and are grieving. What does it have to do with me? Wuqing is the most obedient one, so you can't follow their example."

"I don't want to be the most obedient one. The most obedient ones will definitely be wronged." Wuqing gave Bai Wuming a look. After entering the Wu Mansion, he realized that this man had many tricks and kept a bunch of beauties.

She gets intimate with this one today and teases that one tomorrow. After being well behaved for a few days, she finds that only by being a little naughty can she be controlled. It’s just like what Jiao Niang said, the crying child gets the milk.

"Then why are you being naughty, Wuqing? Do you want to sleep with your brother tonight?" Wu Ming picked up Wuqing from the wheelchair, sat down himself, and put Wuqing on his lap.

The big hand naturally went in.

"What are you doing? There are so many people here." Wuqing shrank her head into Wu Ming's arms like a quail, her little face flushed with shame. In fact, she was used to this kind of thing. It was precisely because of this that she lamented that she had entered a den of thieves and could not escape even if she wanted to.

Chapter 71: The Devil in the Heart of Tao

In the study of Wu Mansion, Wu Ming sat in front of the desk, holding in his hand the magical book "The Great Method of Cultivating Demons in the Heart of Taoism" that everyone in the world dreams of. There was another book on the table with "The Secret of the Heavenly Demon" written on the cover.

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi were carefully serving on both sides. Wu Ming usually had a very good temper, and they dared to be unrestrained when they could. However, they hated being disturbed when he was practicing or studying martial arts.

In Wu Ming's words, martial arts are the foundation of life. If you don't want to be bullied, you must have the ability to avoid being bullied by others. Wu Ming is never stingy with gifts to anyone in the Wu Mansion who can be called by name. For example, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi are now practicing the magical skills that others desire but cannot obtain.

Everything else can be relaxed and joked about, but practicing martial arts is something that no one can joke about.

After actually obtaining the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Technique, Wu Ming realized that some of his previous assumptions were taken for granted.

The most formal way to practice the Dao Heart Planting Demon Method is to first learn an authentic martial art and cultivate your own Dao body and heart.

Afterwards, according to the second part of the next chapter, plant the demon seed in the body, which is similar to planting a fire seed in water, so as to obtain true yang.

After successfully planting the demon, follow the third chapter's 'Establishing the Demon Third' and disperse all of your body's Taoist power, so that the demon seed can be transformed from the yang within the yin to the extreme yang, while the Taoist heart can thereby be transformed into the yin within the yang.

The Dao Heart brings the practitioner back to life during the "Demon Tribulation", thus allowing the demon species to evolve into the embryonic form of the Ultimate Yang, until the Ultimate Yang is formed in the "Demon Extreme" stage;

Then in the "demon transformation" stage, the Taoist heart transforms from the yin in the yang to the extreme yin, similar to ice forming in fire. After a second death and resurrection or slow cultivation, the practitioner obtains the prototype of the ultimate yin, and finally reaches the state of Taoism and demonism merging and yin and yang being balanced in the "demon fairy" stage.

To practice this martial art, one must experience life and death at least once, and it is a very dangerous martial art.

However, no matter how dangerous it is, Wu Ming still has to practice. Planting Demons in the Heart of Taoism is not only a martial art, but also a new concept of martial arts.

Wu Ming has already completed the first step. The Four-Illuminating Divine Art is undoubtedly the most authentic secret of the Taoist sect, and its martial arts purpose is extremely high. If one masters it, he will become a martial saint in the world.

Wu Ming believed that using the Four Illuminating Magical Skills to concentrate his mind on Taoism was definitely the best choice.

As for the demon species, considering the magical tome "Ghostly Book" as a demon species must be a high enough starting point.

When Taoism and Devil merge, Wu Ming's path to martial arts will surely be smooth.

The Four Illuminating Divine Art dissipated, but it did not destroy all his power. Instead, it concentrated his Dao heart to make way for the demon. When Dao and demon merged, his strength would surely surpass that of a Martial Saint and reach a higher level.

A small risk is worth taking.

As for the Ghostly Book, apart from the physical body of Vajra, one can also call the wind and rain, control fire and ice. Even if he condenses the Four Illuminating Magical Skills into his Tao Heart, Wu Ming will have enough means to fight against the enemies.

The only thing we need to consider now is how to minimize the risks of cultivation.

Putting down the Dao Heart Planting Demon Method temporarily, Wu Ming picked up the Heavenly Demon Secret. The Heavenly Demon Secret was the secret of the Yin Gui Sect's inheritance. Together with the Dao Heart Planting Demon Method, they came from the Demon Sect's most secret Heavenly Demon Strategy.

During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han trusted Dong Zhongshu and came up with a plan to abolish all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism. The first saint of the Demon Sect, Cang Yu, searched the whole world for rare books and classics, and summarized the essence of all schools of thought into a classic, which consisted of ten volumes of "Heavenly Demon Strategy", and finally became one of the four great books.

Of the ten existing volumes of The Demonic Strategy, only four volumes remain, the other two being The Demonic Strategy and The Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Method in Wu Ming's hands.

So, this thing called soft rice really tastes delicious.

Wu Ming would just go to the palace in his spare time to entertain the Queen, and then he would give her whatever she wanted.

Therefore, this harmonious couple is more precious than just the system reward. These women who love him to death are the real treasures.

Another half a month passed. During this time, Wu Ming lived and ate in the study, with only Ah Zhu and Ah Bi serving him. During this half a month, Wu Ming did not practice the Great Dao Heart Planting Demon Method, but instead used all his experience to study the secrets of the Heavenly Demon.

He was trying to integrate the Heavenly Demon Secret into his cultivation system, and he certainly wasn't greedy. It was just because the Heavenly Demon Secret was a space-based martial art, and Wu Ming had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. He asked himself that there were very few people in this world who understood space better than him. In addition, the natural gift of God rewarding hard work gave him the confidence to learn what he learned, so he made this attempt.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with his idea. The Secret of the Heavenly Demon was integrated very smoothly and was easily combined into the Ghost Book by him.

"I am going into seclusion. Tell Jingwei not to disturb me unless it is necessary. All matters concerning the inner guards will be handled by her during my seclusion. By the way, please go and inform Zilanxuan as well."

Wu Ming withdrew from the ocean of martial arts, and after a brief explanation, he disappeared into the study in a flash. In the underground secret room of the Wu Mansion, the mark of the Flying Thunder God flickered, and the candles on the wall ignited spontaneously. Wu Ming sat cross-legged on a cushion woven with Qingxin grass, and then fell into silence.

Azhu and Abi, who had been with Wu Ming in the study for a long time, looked at each other and saw how miserable each other was. The dark circles under their eyes were nothing.

When Wu Ming practiced martial arts, he acted as if he was risking his life, and they were so tired that they suffered with him. They hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

"Abi, I'm going to go find Sister Jingwei. You go and notify Sister Zinu!"

"Okay." A-Bi responded softly, then hurried out of the study.

"Little girl, you are from the Wu Mansion, right? We have something to ask Lord Wu. Could you please make some concessions and allow us to meet Lord Wu?"

A Bi had just walked out of Wu Mansion when she was stopped by a man and two women after walking a few steps. The one who spoke to her was a woman with a standard oval face and a dignified and elegant appearance. Although her face was not made up, her skin was as white as snow and frost, with a touch of pink in the whiteness.

The beauty of this woman lies not only in her appearance but also in her temperament. At first glance, she gives people a sense of strong character and integrity, making people feel afraid to offend her.

"you are……?"

"I am Ning Zhongze, the Qi Sect of Mount Hua. This is my daughter Yue Linshan, and this is our eldest disciple Linghu Chong."

"Oh, it's you guys?"

"You came at an unfortunate time. The young master has just entered seclusion. He has given instructions before his retreat that no one should disturb him. Unless the young master comes out of seclusion, you will not be able to see him."

"In my opinion, you'd better come back later."

"How can you be like this? We have traveled thousands of miles from Mount Hua, and you want us to go back with just one sentence? You just want money. We will give you as much as you want." Yue Lingshan listened to Linghu Chong listing so many examples of mean and difficult people, but she thought A-Bi was that kind of person, and thought A-Bi was deliberately shirking her responsibility in order to receive a bribe.

"You are such a bad-tempered little girl. I have something else to do so I will leave now. If you think I am deliberately making things difficult for you, you can ask the servants guarding the gate to pass the message and see what the result is. It is impossible that everyone in Wu Mansion is greedy for money."

A-Bi had a gentle personality. She was not annoyed by Yue Lingshan's rudeness. She just smiled and turned to leave. Linghu Chong wanted to stop her and ask her a few more questions, but he didn't expect A-Bi to just turn around and escape from the sight of the three people.

Chapter 72: Cultivation

"What an exquisite body movement!"

Ning Zhongze stopped Linghu Chong who wanted to continue pestering her, and looked in the direction where A-Bi left, his expression becoming serious.
