Chapter 143 Chongyang Zhenren is reborn and recites scriptures for Feng Wu
After a night, although Feng Wu's body was sore, her eyes were bright.

It turned out that after absorbing Xu Qing's essence last night, she used the method of the Book of Destroying Love to refine her essence into energy, which was like taking a tonic and her soul was greatly benefited.

The soul has already shown signs of breaking through and becoming visible.

Moreover, the four-curve spiritual ginseng of Lin Tianwang has been used by Danxi Weng and Xu Fu to refine the Seven-Flower Ginseng Dew Pill. Xu Fu is far from being able to refine the elixir on his own, but he has a natural and sharp intuition about the proportion of medicines used in alchemy.

After asking around, Danxi Weng learned that Xu Fu lived in the mountains of Lingnan. The people in the village had been collecting herbs for generations for a living, and Xu Fu himself had a talent in this area, so he was able to achieve this ability.

Mr. Danxi has been practicing medicine for many years, so this is not surprising to him.

Because many ordinary people have unique talents, but the key is to discover them or put them to good use.

Xu Qing’s point of view is that since everything in the world exists, it has its own unique reason.

Even a toilet stick has its uses.

When Feng Wu got up and dressed up, Xu Qing had already started his daily boxing practice in the yard.

This is the Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist that combines the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist and the Crane Form Technique. It combines the strengths of both techniques and can not only refine essence and transform it into qi, but also strengthen muscles and bones.

Although Xu Qing had already mastered the Crane Form Technique and the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist to perfection, and his muscles and bones had been raised to an extremely high level, this kind of physical transformation actually had no end.

However, after reaching this level, every further improvement would require ten times the effort of before. The more effort he put in, the less he would gain.

But with the bronze mirror reflecting itself, every tiny improvement is foreseeable.

Moreover, Xu Qing practiced the Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist and then the Golden Light Spell, and the effect was exceptionally good.

This is an unexpected surprise.

Practicing martial arts requires perseverance. If you neglect it for a period of time, you will regress.

This is true both psychologically and spiritually.

Feng Wu arrived at the yard and watched Xu Qing practicing boxing. He couldn't help but sigh, "He didn't get much rest last night, but he's not tired at all."

When she thought of this, she felt a little worried.

Xu Qing saw Feng Wu getting up and smiled: "Did I disturb you?"

Feng Wu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I was thinking about visiting my uncle and aunt later."

The houses of Li Gongqi and Zhou were not far away, only about one mile away.

Xu Qing: "Aunt said it, it's okay if you don't go."

Feng Wu said softly, "Uncle and aunt raised you for so many years. Even if they are not your adoptive parents, that's almost the same. Humanity says that the grace of raising someone is greater than the grace of giving birth to them. How can I not go and pay my respects to them?"

Xu Qing: "Are you sure you are practicing the Book of Destruction of Love?"

Feng Wu smiled and said, "If you don't understand love, how can you destroy it?"

Xu Qing: "Okay, let's go over there."

Feng Wu smiled and said, "You have to change your clothes."

Xu Qing: "I'm not sweating yet. It's winter now, so I just need to change into a coat."

Feng Wu nodded.

Both of them put on black fox robes and went out.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu did not bring anyone with them.

With Xu Qing's current strength, he is better than any team of guards in Jiangning Mansion, not to mention that Feng Wu is not a burden.

When the two went out, light snow fell from the sky.

Xu Qing held Feng Wu's hand and held an umbrella with the other hand.

The umbrella is used to support the scene. In fact, Xu Qing's spiritual power is exposed, forming an invisible air wall to avoid the wind and snow.

In addition, there are three demon guardians: the Yaksha King, the Rakshasa King, and the Asura King.

Normally, as long as Xu Qing didn't visualize the King of Vajra, visualizing the three great demon gods at the same time would not be a burden to him.

There were only three demon gods, they did not show their forms, and their auras were restrained.

Only masters of the soul can detect it.

What Xu Qing did was nothing. Several decades ago, the leader of the Lotus Sect practiced the method of visualizing the Five Great Demon Gods to the highest level. He then made the Five Great Demon Gods possess the bodies of five great masters who practiced internal organs, and made them the protectors of the Five Great Bright Kings, who were very powerful for a time.

At that time, the Lotus Sect was so popular that it even overshadowed its own sect, the Luo Sect.

Until I met Lord Fang.

It is said that Lord Fang did not know any Taoist magic at that time, but when he saw the five demon gods guarding him, he attacked alone and dispersed the five demon gods with his powerful spiritual power.

In fact, the power of the soul is strong enough and there is no need for any fancy things.

What's more, at that time, the power of the Dayu Dynasty was much stronger than it is now, and Lord Fang also had the luck of the dynasty on him. It can be said that he was invincible in dealing with demons and evil ways.

On the way, the young couple admired the snow. Feng Wu said, "You have innate Qi in your body. You can actually practice the innate silk-wrapping hand."

"What kind of kung fu is that?"

"Hehe, I'll tell you after I manifest my spirit."

"Okay, you took the Seven Flower Ginseng Dew Pill tonight, and I'll give you some Xiantian Qi, and that'll be it."

Feng Wu blushed and spat, "Aren't you afraid of hurting your vitality?"

Xu Qing smiled: "Love between men and women is also part of the yin and yang path. I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Can't you bear it?"

In fact, Xu Qing discovered that having sex with Feng Wu and entering a state of harmony between yin and yang was actually more effective than relying on the old phoenix tree to achieve harmony between yin and yang.

Even if a little bit of the innate Qi is lost, it is actually replenished in the process of intercourse.

And he felt that he was in better condition, with a sense of perfection.

Xu Qing guessed that this was related to Feng Wu's physique and the Book of Destruction of Love that he practiced.

What's more, he is a man, and when he has sex with a beautiful girl, it naturally feels like moving lead and mercury and making elixir.

In Taoist alchemy terminology, "Cai Nu" is often used to refer to mercury.

Xu Qing felt that there were definitely benefits to a virgin boy's physical cultivation, but there were also benefits to the harmony of yin and yang, and the key lay in oneself.

If you think that you cannot reach a high level of cultivation without a virgin body, then you simply cannot win the fight because the floor is too slippery.

The two chatted and laughed all the way to Li's house.

Although Zhou was surprised that Feng Wu came to visit her so early in the morning, she had prepared gifts.

Although she didn't say it, she was very concerned about the new bride's attitude towards her aunt.

It goes without saying that Qingger treats the couple well, but when a man gets married, it becomes another family.

She is a woman, so she naturally understands women.

Feng Wu was more generous and polite than she had imagined. After all, she was the niece of Zhou from Taicang and they were of a different bloodline.

Under Huang Chao's butchery, the aristocratic families no longer had the splendor they had in the Middle Ages, but the aristocratic families in people's hearts are still deeply rooted.

Aristocratic families are something that ordinary people both hate and desire to become a part of.

Perhaps the Jiangning Xu family will become a prominent family like the Taicang Zhou family in the future, with people passing the imperial examinations and becoming officials from generation to generation.

The Li family was also able to rely on the Xu family and become a powerful local family with deep roots.

After some greetings, Zhou took out the account book.

These are all the businesses that Xu Qing entrusted to Zhou to manage.

Zhou had originally planned to hand it over to Feng Wu in a few days, but since Feng Wu was here, she might as well hand it over to him now.

Feng Wu refused.

Seeing Feng Wu's firm attitude, Zhou did not force it in.

The two sides had lunch together again.

Zhou and Li Gongpu knew that the days when they would be able to eat together with Qingge'er would become fewer and fewer in the future.

But Zhou didn't feel depressed or regretful.

She touched her belly and knew that soon there would be a baby in the family, this time it would be their own child. And after the birth, they wouldn't have to suffer.

A new life is about to join the family, as if all the oldness and decadence brought by the years have been swept away.

The reproduction of life brings endless life, which is also another meaning of longevity.

That is the continuation of bloodline and race.

But this is not what Xu Qing is pursuing now.

He hopes to achieve personal immortality, an immortal soul, and to live freely like the immortals and Buddhas in mythology.

His yearning for this far outweighs his pursuit of worldly power.

On this point, the young couple's pursuit is particularly consistent.

Feng Wu said, "Why don't you ask me why I don't accept my aunt's kindness?"

Xu Qing: "Life is short, just do what you want to do."

Feng Wu: "Aren't you worried that I'll interfere with you by doing what I want to do?"

"you will not."

Feng Wu sighed: "Sometimes I feel that you don't understand love, and sometimes I feel that you do. Anyway, I will be happy and sad because of your affairs. I will be happy when I think of you, and I will be disappointed when I can't see you... But I won't ask you if you have it, because this is my business."

Xu Qing: "Isn't it because you are still young? A girl's feelings are always poetic."

"how about you?"

"Young people should be full of ambition."

Feng Wu burst out laughing and said accusingly, "You made this originally a good thing a little vulgar."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "This is ambition."

The two returned home chatting and laughing. Although they were newlyweds, Xu Qing did not forget his business.

ten thousand years is too long, fight for now.

Xie Quan went to the capital early. As for Yan Shan, he would also leave Jiangning Prefecture today and go to Beijing for the exam.

Xu Qing wanted to go over to see him off and to reorganize the affairs of the Fushe Society.

It would be more appropriate to deal with this matter after Yan Shan leaves.

Because Yan Shan is the executive vice president, many people will unconsciously form a faction around Yan Shan.

Now that Yan Shan is gone, Xu Qing can take action to further unify people's thoughts. Otherwise, those people will push Yan Shan out to fight, and if Xu Qing fails to handle it well, it will hurt Yan Shan's prestige and enthusiasm.

In fact, the factions of the Fushe Society are still relatively simple, similar to the Clean Clothes Faction and the Dirty Clothes Faction of the Beggars' Gang in novels.

The Clean Clothes Faction consisted of marginalized descendants of powerful gentry families, with a similar status to Yan Shan in the Yan family; the Dirty Clothes Faction consisted of completely lower-class scholars.

The clean-clothes group is what we usually call the poor scholars.

Since the Middle Ages, poor scholars have been isolated from ordinary people.

Because the poor scholars themselves also belong to the class of "scholars".

Due to the decline of their family background, they fell down the social ladder from the aristocratic family and became small aristocrats or landlords.

This kind of thing is actually very common.

The aristocratic families are often constantly updated, with ups and downs. But once they fall, most of them find it difficult to rise again.

It’s just that there are many smart and far-sighted people in the world, but few are willing to take action.

Because it's too hard.

As a descendant of an aristocratic family, as long as he is willing to lie down, he will definitely live a happy life.

There are many parents who are willing to provide resources for their children and grandchildren, but not many are willing to help their children and grandchildren become strong.

It's easy to raise a child, but it's hard to raise yourself.

Therefore, Xu Qing’s threshold for Fushe was to prevent the direct descendants of large families from joining as much as possible, and to root them in the middle and lower classes, especially the lower-level scholars, who had an innate motivation to strive.

These people can become his real foundation.

But we cannot reject the marginalized children of big families. After all, if we want to develop, we cannot have too many enemies. This is a necessary compromise.

The problem now is that there is some tension between the two sides.

They had just started and they started to fight internally. Xu Qing couldn't stand it.

In addition, the leader of the Clean Clothes Faction, Yan Shan, was also from the Clean Clothes Faction, which made the original Dirty Clothes Faction feel an invisible pressure, and the gap between them naturally deepened.

After Xu Qing sent Yan Shan away, he summoned the current members of Fushe to hold a literary meeting outside the city.

The location is Xu Qing’s farm.

He was a juren, so naturally he had a lot of tax-free land. However, during the process of surveying the land, Xu Qing did not directly accept donations from the people, but bought the land outright.

Everyone gathered in the newly built farmhouse. It was winter now, so it was easier to find people to build the house.

After all, the weather is cold and not suitable for agricultural activities, so many farmers are idle. They are happy to have work to do. With the wages, they can also have more meat for their families to eat during the New Year.

Although the farmhouse is simple, the workmanship is solid and there is no obvious air leakage, but it is still cold.

Everyone thought that Xu Jieyuan had called them together to give another lecture.

In fact, everyone understood the truth, and they were getting a little impatient listening to it.

The sage’s words are profound and meaningful, and there is no truth to be found anywhere. The key is how to realize it?

The answer can only be found in history books.

Get it from practice.

Xu Qing said to the crowd, "Everyone, I know you all think that I am giving you a lecture or eight-part essay again. You must not like to listen to lectures anymore, so I won't give them."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qing continued, "When it comes to eight-part essays, I am indeed good at it and can help you improve your eight-part essay skills. But I won't be talking about eight-part essays today."

Everyone felt disappointed and curious about what Xu Jieyuan was going to say.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Everyone must be curious about why I called you here today."

The more curious people became.

Xu Qing spoke slowly: "Today I would like to invite you to work with me. I want to expand this farmhouse into a school, and then build a library, named 'Tianji Pavilion'. The school will be called Tianji Palace. This will be the headquarters of the Fushe in the future."

"Mr. Jie Yuan, we are scholars, how can we do such lowly things?"

"So I am prepared to endure this hardship with everyone. If anyone is unwilling, they can withdraw from the Fushe."

"what."

Everyone was talking about it and asked them to withdraw from the Fushe, which was definitely not possible.

But not everyone thinks so.

A poor member asked, "Boss, are we paid for our work?"

"Of course, and the wages are much higher than outside." Xu Qing said with a smile.

"Then I will."

"No, I won't do it, no matter how much pay I get." said the marginalized children of the big families.

However, some of the poor members have already begun to persuade the members around them, "Building a school will be for our use in the future, and the headmaster will definitely not treat us unfairly."

"It's a good thing that they've withdrawn. This way, when the quality of our articles improves in the future, we can still leave them behind."

Many poor members were talking about this.

These words were naturally heard by the members of the other faction.

If their writing level is left behind, it means that their level of performance in the imperial examinations will also be left behind in the future, which they cannot bear.

You know, as members of the Fushe Society, they are valued by their families and provided with financial and food support.

If you quit, I'm afraid all these benefits will be gone.

At first, these people thought they could use public opinion to change Xu Qing's mind, but they didn't expect that those peasants had no martial ethics and did not resist at all.

After all, the Fushe Society started from humble beginnings, and the Wuyi Faction made up the majority.

Although their family situation has improved now, it is far from completely improved.

Moreover, Xu Qing has relaxed the threshold for joining the Fushe Society, so that even those who are not scholars can join.

So even though some members of Fushe have gone to Lingnan and some are surveying the land, there are still many members left.

In fact, among the members who were responsible for surveying the land, many who were children of wealthy families rushed to do the task.

This is also a helpless move, because if poor members were to do this job, they would encounter delays, hostility and various obstacles in the actual process. On the contrary, if the children of wealthy families were to do this job, everything would go smoothly and they would do the job clearly and beautifully.

Deep down, Magistrate He didn't want to make things too violent, so he naturally favored the members who came from prominent families.

Xu Qing knew it very well, but he did not push it hard.

Because if he fights on his own, it will only intensify internal conflicts.

Fushe is a powerful weapon in his hands, not a burden to him. Xu Qing cannot rush to the front and do everything by himself.

Don't underestimate others, and don't overestimate yourself.

Building a school is of course necessary, but this action is not just about building a school. It is also a test of obedience. In addition, it is also to further temper the organization and strengthen its ability to take practical actions.

Only those who can endure hardships are his brothers, Xu Gongming, the timely rain of Jiangning.

If a brother like Xu Gongming is unwilling to share this little bit of hardship with him, he will never have such a brother.

In fact, sharing weal and woe is also a way to bring people closer together.

After Xu Qing used both soft and hard tactics, about twenty members quit.

These people were specially selected by the gentry and actually had a fairly high status in the family.

That’s why I can’t bear this hardship.

Xu Qing has initially purified the team.

He knew that this was only a momentary purity, and in reality, it was normal for his old brothers to become his rivals in the future.

But that’s for later.

Xu Qing also wrote a couplet for the Tianji Academy which was under construction.
Across the entire universe, there is nothing in the sky or geography that I can rely on, and the only thing I can rely on is me.

From now on, there will be nothing to rely on in the River Chart and Luo Shu, and everything that can be relied upon is empty.

This pair of calligraphy reflects his spiritual realm and has a high artistic value.

It is about as tall as the newly built Tianji Pavilion.

The construction of the Tianji Academy here is just a general framework. For the specific operation, we need to find a specialized craftsman family from Jiangning Prefecture or even Yingtian Prefecture to provide guidance.

In fact, there are very few jobs that the members can do, but they all have good learning abilities, so Xu Qing will let them choose jobs that are easy to learn.

When scholars are organized and able to endure hardships, it is easy to build a good team.

As for Xu Qing, he always chose to do the hardest and heaviest work, and he could use it to further practice the Bull Demon Fist.

He has already reached a very high level of attainment in this style of boxing, but he can still continue to practice it.

Xu Qing spent an entire afternoon sorting out the rough framework, and then went back to see his young wife. He still had to teach Feng Wu how to break through and reveal his form in the evening.

It's been a busy day.

...

...

When he returned to the yard, Feng Wu had already prepared food for him, including fragrant yellow rice, which was a gift from the Great Zen Temple.

It’s more than the amount Xu Qing bought last time.

Monks are also snobs.

Xu Qing felt emotional and had dinner with his wife.

While eating, we chatted about what happened in the afternoon.

If he died young, Feng Wu and his father-in-law would be the heirs to his career in public; many shady things in secret would be left to Su Lianqing.

As for my uncle.

Xu Qing didn't intend to let him get too deeply involved. He just needed to take Xu Qing's money, become drinking buddies with the military officers of Jiangning Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture, and engage in diplomacy.

This way there won't be much risk.

Feng Wu did not feel impatient when listening to these trivial matters. Moreover, as a master of the soul, it was not difficult for her to understand and remember these things.

She asked, "Where did the Tianji Pavilion's collection of books come from?"

Xu Qing: "I have my own way of dealing with this."

He still had a lot of literary and historical materials from his previous life in his mind, and he was ready to pick out the useful ones and take them out.

This kind of thing is very simple.

Directly use the ability of the spirit to drive objects, multitask to do quick sketches, and then find someone to re-transcribe it.

With these books, he could use his fame to exchange them for books from other wealthy people.

Further enrich the library.

This is a long process.

Moreover, he did not intend to seal off the Tianji Academy. Instead, he wanted to make it into a library, which would be conducive to the holy virtue education. He even wanted to try to evolve the academy into a large college.

These are all gradual processes.

Although he works in a hurry, he also knows that some things can only be done step by step subtly. Otherwise, the harder he works, the greater the side effects will be.

Without Yan Shan and Xie Quan, he had to do many things by himself. It’s not that he couldn’t do them well, but it was indeed a waste of energy.

However, the two of them seeking fame and fortune would also make it easier for them to help him later.

Xu Qing can only resist for the time being.

And take advantage of this period of time to recruit more talents.

After he won the title of Jieyuan, he participated in many literary gatherings and secretly investigated the scholars in Jiangning Prefecture and the surrounding areas, looking for those who shared the same ideals.

Of course, there will be mistakes in judgment, but when doing things, we need to constantly correct mistakes.

It is not realistic to build high-rise buildings in one go.

Xu Qing and Feng Wu talked in great detail and attentively.

Fortunately, Xu Qing had laid a lot of groundwork when he was inspecting the Censorate before, so Feng Wu was not surprised by what Xu Qing said.

In fact, these things are also the process of cultivating the soul.

In the past, Master Chongyang participated in the imperial examinations and also established the Quanzhen Taoism. During this process, he actually had to deal with many tedious mundane affairs.

The seven disciples of Master Chongyang were also not ordinary. Most of them came from prominent families or had considerable wealth.

In Feng Wu's opinion, what Xu Qing did was not new.

Even now, it seems that he is still far behind his predecessors such as Chongyang Zhenren, Sun En and Zhang Jiao.

Especially the last two, they were great figures who truly shook the world. It can even be said that they changed the world situation at one point.

Practicing Taoism is also about cultivating oneself. The system of ruler-ruler and subject-subject is not suitable for true practitioners of Taoism.

Feng Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

On the contrary, it is natural.

After the couple finished chatting about this, they washed up.

Feng Wu asked: "Should this medicine be taken before or after?"

She pointed at the Nanaka Ginseng Pill.

Xu Qing: "Beforehand."

Feng Wu nodded, took one pill, and began to move her qi and blood.

Xu Qing didn't, he planned to take it later.

After all, what he said beforehand seemed like he had to rely on the power of the medicine to fight his young wife, which seemed like an unfair victory.

Another night of torrents of love.

Did some good and bad things.

Feng Wu was limp all over, but was pulled up by Xu Qing.

"Now is the right time to work hard and not to slack off."

Feng Wu had no choice but to try her best to enter a state of meditation. However, she was so weak that she could not enter a state of meditation after several attempts.

Seeing this, Xu Qing used the principles he had learned from the Xiantian Finger to help Feng Wu gather his blood and energy and calm his mind.

Feng Wu slowly found the feeling, and his mind gradually entered a state of silence and nothingness.

"The Tao can be spoken of, but it is not always the Tao. The name can be named, but it is not always the name. The nameless is the beginning of all things; the named is the mother of all things..."

Xu Qing watched over him and recited Taoist scriptures to him.

He has a high level of spiritual attainment, and when he recites Taoist scriptures, there is a hint of the profound sounds of heaven and earth, as he expounds on the wonders of the great Dao.

On the other hand, Xu Qing had never seen anyone else's soul break through and become visible, so this was also an excellent opportunity for observation.

It will enable them to have a deeper understanding of the cultivation of the spirit and soul.
