Seeking Immortals

Chapter 12 Promotion to Second Class
During the night Ke Gui committed suicide by drinking poisoned alcohol, Wei Yang asked many questions about the contents of the Sutra for Washing the Marrow of the Lotus, and Li Qing answered them one by one.

Every night after that, Wei Yang would ask questions about martial arts, but Li Qing never kept his secrets from those who understood.

In Wei Yang's mind, if Li Qing doesn't explain, Wei Yang can probably find other people to ask, why not sell Wei Yang's favor, if Wei Yang can ride the wind in the future, he can also give him a little help.

Half a month later, Wei Yang reported the matter of practicing martial arts to the Martial Supervisor, and officially began to practice.

On the day when Wei Yang formally practiced, he found Li Qing and said, "Master Li, the secret of my kung fu is not to be revealed. If there is success in the future, there will be rich rewards."

Li Qing chuckled: "Take care of yourself."

Advising Wei Yang is like advising Wang Li to run a stew shop a few years ago, Li Qing did what he wanted without expecting anything in return.

If you can get something in return, that's even better.

Li Qing has a hundred lifetimes of time, and will meet all kinds of people, take everything slowly, and there may be a lot of casual suggestions in the future.

I have played a lot of Go, and I always like to play chess everywhere.

……

a few days later.

pear orchard.

Li Qing leaned under a pear tree, watching the maids in the garden dance.

"Time flies, I'm already 33."

Li Qing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The years have left many mottled marks on his face. He is not immortal, nor is his face permanent. The body will naturally age with time, and there is no need to disguise it.

As long as he lived a normal life, no one would be able to find out that he was abnormal, even immortals.

After all, Baishibei reverts to youth, and bone age will also return.

When the immortal sees him, he only feels that he is similar to someone who has been hundreds of years old.

Everyone is getting old, but the sisters in Liyuan are always young and never get tired of watching.

"Hey, little Lizi, which girl do you have your eye on? Come here every day to see." A woman in palace makeup approached and gave Li Qing a hey.

"I've taken a fancy to you, how about a match?" Li Qing said happily.

The woman in palace makeup smiled: "When will you leave the cold palace, I will think about it."

"There's no need to think about it. I'm afraid I'm going to die of old age."

"you're so funny."

It's a very ordinary conversation, which Li Qing has experienced countless times in these years.

When he was promoted to a third-rate master, there was a court lady who really invited him to eat in a pair, but it was the old lady...

……

The day came to October thirteenth.

A letter from Wang Li caused quite a stir in the cold palace.

According to the order of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Ke Daoling, the former commander of the Zuoying Army of the Forbidden Army, and his family were beheaded on the ninth day of October.

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the White Lotus Sect rioted in the capital, and many masters robbed the dharma field together, and even Bailian dead soldiers attacked the heavenly prison and imperial prison, the sky prison was broken, and the capital was in chaos.

Fortunately, the imperial court was well prepared, and Jin Yiwei and Dongchang all mobilized to kill all the members of the White Lotus Sect.

However, as a professional rebel, the White Lotus Sect has its own ability to survive several dynasties.

During the attack, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang suffered heavy losses. Some Bailian sect dead soldiers even planned to attack the palace at one point, but were directly shot into hedgehogs by the Imperial Forest Army.

Disciples of the White Lotus Sect, who fled scattered, robbed and killed civilians in various parts of the capital, and many households were affected.

What worried Li Qing and others was Wang Li.

Wang Li's brine shop was destroyed in the fight, Wang Li's adopted son lost a leg, and Wang Li was hit in the eye by debris, blinding his left eye.

"The white lotus sect of the dog day is really not a son of man!" Zhang Yong cursed anxiously.

"It's really dangerous outside, but the palace is safe." Li Qing sighed.

During the years of being a eunuch in Leng Gong, Li Qing encountered small troubles, but they were not serious, as long as there were no major problems in principle, his life would be safe.

After hearing the news, Wei Yang didn't say a word, just practiced silently.

Although Li Qing didn't know what kind of deal Wei Yang reached with the dead Ke Guiren, as long as Wei Yang was not stupid, he would never really join the White Lotus Sect.

……

Time is like running water, and another five years have passed, Taikang's 27th year, spring.

Cold palace bedroom.

With a bang, the water tank exploded, Li Qing walked out naked, and put on his clothes casually.

"Five years have passed, and I finally got through the sixth rule, and officially entered the second-rate master!"

Li Qing wanted to let out a long roar, but finally held back.

In the blink of an eye, it has been five years since the Bailian Sect rioted in the capital, and Li Qing's cultivation level has steadily improved.

Stepping into a second-rate master, walking in the rivers and lakes is considered a guarantee, and will not be easily beheaded.

However, Li Qing only knows internal skills, and he doesn't understand both light and external skills.

Li Qing didn't care either, he didn't need to fight anyone in a short time, as long as time kept running, he could always crush invincible with his powerful internal force.

You can resist the internal force for 100 years, but what about 300 years?
Then Li Qing warned himself: "Don't be complacent, Wei Nu, a kid who was in the same realm as you back then, opened up the second line of Ren and Du three months ago and became a top master. He is only 16 years old."

"However, since we have made a breakthrough, we have to celebrate."

"Play chess?"

Li Qing shook his head, since Wang Li left, the enthusiasm of the Leng Palace eunuchs to play chess has greatly decreased. Although Li Qing taught the new Leng Palace eunuchs to play chess, he couldn't learn it well.

In the game of chess, no one in the cold palace is his single enemy.

Besides Wang Li, Wang Li has been dead for two years.

Two years ago, Wang Li's son wrote a letter saying that Wang Li, who was blind in his left eye and was getting worse, was killed by thieves who broke into his home, and the thieves also robbed hundreds of taels of silver.

That thief seems to be called the Godly Thief.

It is indeed dangerous outside the palace. Those thieves in the dark night are hard to guard against. In this world, there are still too many martial arts masters.

Although Wang Li died, his son gave Li Qing a lot of dividends, and he sent a letter every half a month, hoping that a new cold palace eunuch would come out of the palace to take care of him.

With Wang Li's death, his son couldn't speak to the eunuch of Sishi, and the business of the stew shop became more and more difficult.

Among the twelve cold palace eunuchs, the oldest one is Zhang Yong, 45 years old, five years away from being able to apply for leaving the palace.

Originally there were three older ones, but they died of illness in the past two or three years, and Leng Gong also entered three new eunuchs. Li Qing was 38 years old and ranked sixth in terms of age.

Thinking back to when he first time traveled, he was just the youngest in the Leng Palace...

Things are wrong.

"Let's go to the pear garden."

Li Qing took a walk around the Liyuan. This time he was lucky. For the first time in 20 years, he saw a concubine dancing!
That concubine is Concubine Min who has just entered the palace, and she was immediately made a second-rank concubine when she entered the palace, and she was deeply loved by Emperor Taikang.

Yes.

Emperor Taikang is still under house arrest, but the queen mother is his biological mother. As long as Emperor Taikang does not fight for power, the queen mother will not make things difficult. Emperor Taikang is living a good life and has accepted many concubines over the years.

However, recently there was news that the Empress Dowager was in poor health, and Emperor Taikang, who had been seriously injured for 15 years, was gradually improving.

As the saying goes, a new round of turmoil for power is likely to come soon.

There will not be many opportunities to slip into the Liyuan in the future.

After Liyuan came out, Li Qing stopped by Shangwujian to report his status: Li Qing, Lenggong Wupin eunuch, 38 years old, second-rate.

The 38-year-old second-rate expert is not outstanding, if Shangwu Supervisor knows that Li Qing will enter the first-rate in ten years, then he will take care of him a little bit.

Back to the cold palace.

"Master Li, where are you breaking through?" Wei Yang felt Li Qing's difference and asked.

"Well, you work hard." Li Qing patted Wei Yang on the shoulder and smiled.

Wei Yang's qualifications are better than Li Qing's, and he has also studied the Tailian Sutra of Washing the Marrow. In the past five years, he has opened up four serious sutras.

The Dingyou iron house in the cold palace was demolished long ago.

Concubine Li, who had been imprisoned in the iron room for more than ten years, died not long after Wei Yang broke through to the third-rate master.

Concubine Li's status is unusual, and after her death, eunuchs from Shangwujian came to investigate.

After some investigation, it was only determined that the noble concubine Li committed suicide.
